Parli- ament has passed a Military Service Act which meets our demands. We further askeel that military fit men be prevented from leaving Canada until the close of the war, and that steps be taken to have re- turned to this Dominion all military fit men who had left the eountry to escape service. Both ®f these requests have in a measure been granted by the Goverment. We earnestly desired that there should be no election until after the war. Those politicians who oppose all further Canad- ian aid to Britian and who' seek purely party ends, , even if their plots should mean the dismemberment of the British Empire, have joined forces with all the alien enemies of the land and have ap- parently succeeded in forcing Canada to a general election. An election being thus forced on the country 1,4v the scheming politicians, aid- ed by every disloyal element, we most earnestly appeal to every officer and mem- ber to vote only for such members seeking re-election as remained fei'.'.,f.:1 to otu, ideas and voted for the Military service .Act, for the proposed Act for the prolong- ation of the present Parliament until after the war, as all parties in France and Britian have so far done, for the bill giv- ing soldiers the vote, and for the War • Times I/tections Act, which in general meets our requests regarding aliei nemies• In all other constituences elk votes should only be given to the candidates who will give the following pledge: "If elected, I pledge myself to support the Military Service Act as it passed Parliament, and to give every assistance to its enforcement throughout the Domi- nion, and I further pledge myself to sup- port every measure necessary wild possi- ble to put in force, to support our beloved Sovereign until victory thorough and conaplete has been secured by the Allies." The candidate who refuses to give such a pledge dose not deserve the votes of loyal Canadians. We believe the mem- bers of all patriotic organizations will join us in insisting on such a pledge by candi- dates who seek our support. We must continue to urge on the Goverment that military fit men from the conutries of our Allies (and we believe there are quite a few of military fitness of of all these nationalities scattered through- out Ganada), should be compelled to join our overseas transference to v seas frbrces for transfe e their own military forces, in which the., would have to serve had they not left their native lands for Canada, but if this is not practiaable, then other appropriate steps should be taken for' the attainment of this end. We again ask the Dominion Govern- ment to secure from time to time from the British Government a list of all men and women in Great Britian and Ireland who have by word, writing or other overt act impeded or tried to irnpede, the British Government in the eonduct of the war, and that all such persons be excluded from this country as undesirables. We once more urge on the Goverment lst, that all immigration from enemy countries to Canada be prohibited, except under such terms as a treaty of peace at the 'lose of the war may provide. 2nd. We ask that people born in enemy countries, and their children, be debarred from entering Canada through neutral or friendly countries. 3rd. We staongly insist that naturaI- ization be denied all people from enemy countries now or hereafter residing in Canada until they can read and write in the English Ianguage and until their 'loyalty to this Dominion is beyond all doubt. Let the Premier, Si'iRobert L Borden, and the candidates for your oonstitueIXcy know what you think of these matters. William Lee, Grand Secretary, and D. D. Ellis Grand Master, M. W.

A farmer'•with a Ford car can dispense with one or two of his horses and make the trips to town, railway station, creamery, or to the neigh- bours in one-third the time. In fact there is no farm machine made that will save the busy farmer -and his busy wife so much valuable time as a FBrd. And it's so easy to take care of—far easier than a horse. No bed to make, or hay and, oats to get, no harnessing and unharnessing, and no stables to clean. The Ford practically takes care of itself. Ask any farmer who owns a Ford if he would ever again try to get along without it\, His answer will hasten your decision to own one.

SIX DAYS IN IRELAND .hursday Sept. 20th 1917 ing the Blarney `Stone, surrounded au it is with so much superrstition and tradition, I sttposo It is worth whilc putting forth the etrenuoun effort nec- esary to pr'efoI'In the act. I have done "on the hands down" stunt on the physical training parade ground and preformed ether.sitniliar aerobatie feat's but never before did I ger through such contortionistie manoeuvres as I did on thin occasion. To anyone, par'ticularly ladies, who ole sire at all times and illi occasiotrs to maintain a dignified bearing, I advise never to kiss the Blarney Stone, for there certainly is nothing dignified irr stretching yourself out on your back the edge of a hole and being gradual- ly drawn down into it, head first, and then, after having touched your lips to the stono four or Ave feet below, possilly more, to be drawn up again, amidst shouts of laughter from your friends. That le how I kissed the Blarney Stone, thereby licensing myself to hereafter viag a blarney tongue. I was reminded as I completed the per- formance of the pig scouring process during a pig -Milling bee "down on the farm." It certainly was a peculiar and memorable experience for each of us and a great dual of sport was derived from it. Por instance, our Belfast friend had considerable diffic- ulty iri backing himself up and out of the holo and finally had to procure our assistance to extricate him from his predicament . We were now in what is popularly known amongst tourists as the Sunny South of Ireland and from Blarney to Killarney we did through Macroom and Coachford, and as we neared Kil- larney our curiosity was aroused to the highest pitch, z At last we were in sight of Killar- ney —the home of lakes which has boon well called, 'The Gem of the Western World"— Its magnificent mountain peaks, its green swards and gushing cascades, all surrounded with 'an atmosphere of romance and trad- ition. cade. Hero was a most charming Wo pulled up at the town of Kil- place—the most fascinating possibly larney or the "Church of the Sloe- ) in all the romanticrealm of Kerry. trees" which lies on a flat plateau !The ivy hangs in dense colored drap- within a mile from the shores of the far -fanned Lough Lene. having only a few hours at our 'disposal to make the trip up the lakes (a few days is really necessary to see ail the beauties and historical places) we immediately set out from the town, planning to take partof the jounrey in a motor launch and the remainder in the auto. The lakes of Killarney are three in number, Upper Lake, the Tere,Muck- ross or Middle Lake and Lower Lake, the latter, five miles long and three miles wide, being the largest. These are connected by a swift flowing stream the Long Range. The Upper Lake is characterized by an untamed peerless outline, and so near to the mountain does it lie that the fissures in their rugged sides are almost countable. Gliding over its waters in a fine motor -boat we readily saw in them a land -locked sea. A ridge of the Gleua Mountain shuts it out from the north,the many peak- ed reeks guard the passes to the west and to the south stands up Denny- cunlnhby. Between the dips of the lakes and the feet of the hills there appears no distance as our guide ex pressed it save just a trace of silver sand marks where the water meets the land, I realized that indescrib- able solemnity wit which silent nat- ure hushes ' everything. Even the countless stream, in their hurry to join the lakes seen to cease from babbling. How quiet and peaceful and bedtutiful is was here—no war, no devastating influences of war, noth ing but beauty, grandeur and happi- ness. Yes that beautiful song, "Kil- larney" certfiinly does express the sentiments and feelings of all those who have ever visited "Heaven's fair reflex Killarney." Following the sinuous Long Range we reached the still water beneath the EagleNest,s' N adinillar. Abu - le-ealLounded ere is taken up by the barricades of rock and is repeat- ed even ten times over. The moun- tain take up the'tones of sweet sounds and•ttneWer it one to the oth- er until th ears eau nQ lousily fellow it through space. Leaving the Upper Lake behind and bidding adieu to the green islands that stud its breast, the old Win bridge mot our eye. Here is the "bos- ons where the bright waters meet." a.udd exquisite combination of color, lfhon:, Inoses:, rleli green hollies azul many colored ')e.rries, we wended our way by a paeai;o of beauty around JDinnie Inland into the Middle or Tore Lake sheltered by the broad breast of the mountain from which it taken Mt name. The whirlpool, between the waters of the lake and river has been called, "O'Sullivan's Punch Bowl." Tho "Bridge of Little 'Trout" or Brickeen Bridge, where the disus- ed marble quarries and copper minehh are, was pointed out to us. At the estuary of the Devil's stream which flows through the ravines on ° the mountain's side is the Devil's Island and the rocks and caves along the lake shores are shrouded with tradit- ions of O'Donoghue, Chieftain of the Glens. A long cave is called "The Wine Cellar" (local option Iong in force) ; at the end is O'Donoghue's "Arm Chair," The most interesting of the fissures made by the waters in the rock aro those in the rock which our Belfast friend called Colleen Bawn stock." By the beautiful Glena Bay we entered the Lower Lake --the largest and most charming of the group. It sleeps beneath• the guardian heights of the Toomies Hills and, I don't think a vision of more loveliness is anywhere to be found. Low-lying shores to the east and north were bedecked with masses of ferns. And the more its loveliness was explored, it seemed to me the greater the revelation of the har- mony and luxuriance of the landscape No less than thirty-five islands, I be- •liove, bedeck the silver sheen of its surface. The largest of these Innis - fallen, is some thirty acres in extent and is encircled by leafy bowers of green trees, Shaggy sheep -could be seen crouched in repose or busy with its verdant lawn. The richest of col- ors from hill, tree and rock seem to accumulate on the lake and burnish like silver. We next visited the O'Sullivan Cas - (Continued, from Page 1) a most hearty welcome and whether we stumbeld into a "meals -served -at - all -hours -on -the -American -plan style of a restaurant" I do not know. At any rate within a remarkably short space of time there appeared before us a meal that one rarely sees in England during these ,strenuous war times. There was no war bread, no margarine. Instead there was good old Irish bread, choice Irish butter, Irish Potatoes, fresh pork and a real good brew of Irish tea. Needless to say we enjoyed the repast and for once it was not' necessary to visit sev- eral restaurants in order to get to- gether a fairly good heal as has to bo done in Loudon very often. And then, too, our hosts wore typically Irish and while we ate they talked and we were entertained as we have seldom been by highly seasoned gos- sip about the war and Irish politics and religion (these folks were ardent Home Rulers) both humorous and tragic and wide and exhaustive critic- ism. And I believe I can safely say that Ireland carries an amount of good talk, nimble, trenchant, and humorous to the square mile that the whole of England could never rival. And as I listened to these humble people of this humble cabin I sudden- ly remembered hearing a speaker say- ing once that the Irish people were indulgently described as a "merry people and fond of pigs." Elusive as running water is the brogue of the Irish peasant; hardly attained even by those who have known its tune. from childhood. Comedians and others I have heard have not the true brogue. It scants to bo part of the country itself. An hour later we were spinning a- long the road. leaving our now Irish acquaintances behind and in half an hour were within sight of Cork. We did not have time to visit the city it - Self but w`ero'able to obtain a splen- did view of the beautiful queonston harbor and the River Lee, fr'oiu 1where we swltchejl off to the road .eading to Blarne.y Now I do not know whether our Belfast friend had that Irish super - Alden in his make-ttp or not -•-- I strongly suspect he had—at any rate he declared our trip to Killarney would not be sueeeesfui and complete until we had first one and all, kissed the Blarney Stone, so in a 'very short time wo found ourselves gazing with conriderablo irttcreet and curiosity at Blarney Cantle, famous the world over; and presently we were ascend- ing the stone steel; in tIhe interior to the flat roof where tite Blarney Stone is located. Thera are earner things in the wor- ld to Ides than the Blarney stone— kissing which can bo accomplished with a great deal more grace and dig- nity . But still, considering the deep biggifieaztcq there is attaclled to kiss- *a"VAIseY/X11,tr1lM/AMrnsalblheise~M,I'w saseiesesseat"Mearsato0b4WeseiVereaaioi0 THE ADVANCE J013 PANTING DEPT. is equipped with all the newest type faces, w= A s✓ cog A X Lt' A eries from the rocks, a sweet disorder of evergreens, and tell the flowers that grow inra radiant land daringly lean across the cayon and vainly try to grip the rushing stream when in cas- cade after cascade fliigs itself with passionate energy over the rocks. The placidness of the huge lake is in strange contrast to the mossy stream which so excitedly hastens to meet it. From Lower Lake at a certain point the ruins of Muckross Abbey with its great yew shadowed cloisters in the northwest transept could be seen, and .leaving the launch and bringing the auto into use again we proceeded to Tore Waterfall along the Kenmore road. The p a n o r a m a spread out beneath the rocks of the Tore comprehends in all their glory of color and contrast the Middle Lake and Lower Lake beneath the mount- ains white with foam. The waters from the Devil's Punch Bowl break through the walls of rock seventy- five feet high and fling showers of spray everywhere around. Although not as majestic and wonderful as our own Niagara Falls yet it is ex- ceedingly beautiful and fascinating. Nearly three miles northward by the King's Bridge or about one mile direct from Killarney, within sight of the Lower Lake and the Purple Mountains, are the ruins of Aghadoe, the "Church of the Two Yew Trees" founded under the blessing of Saint Finian. The remains of the Round Tower and Abbot's Castle can still be seen, but these and the eighth cen- tury cipopway of the old church are all that have weathered the wind of cen- turies, The next place of interest wo vis- ited was Ross Castle—originally the fort of "The O'Donoghue" and from there proceeded to the Gap of Dunloe —a gloomy -mountain pass cut through the rocky shares, It is a magnificent defile , four miles long. Through the• little interspaces be- tween the trees the reflection of the River Loe is caught. On the other side of the roast the mountain throws -up a high wall. It was very dant in the .pass, but after reaching the point where the path is narrowest, called the Pike, the mountain from it onward begin to recede and present- ly we crossed a shoulder of the Pur- ple Mountains, past the three expan- sions of the Commeau-Thornes Lakes, into which St. Patrick is said to have driven the last serpent, and suddenly came upon a stirking spect- acle of rnagniflcient scenery. Here, from the head of the Gap, we could see Upper Lake in all its glory; to the west was the Black Valley, dark as the valley of the shadow of death, in charming contrast to the stern grandeur of the mountains. The largest of these lakes is familiarly known as the Pool of the Red Trout —a veritable paradise for anglers. As I looked on this beautiful scene on this beautiful Sabbath day I thought of God's wonderful bands. work, and I thought, too that Rus - kin's ideals of mountains as the great cathedrals of the earth with their gates of rock, pavements of clouds, choirs of streams and stones, alters of snow and vaults of (purple, travep- sed by the continual stars, could nos where be realized more readily than in Killarney. Here the mysterious summits, warm with the afterhooh tints of the day's sun, delighted and refreshed us all again and again. We briefly visited other. places a- round Killtt/rney and there Was num- erous other points we could have vis- ited but our tinge was up and we had to leave tli.is fair land behind is, I don't think anything could be more beautiful than Killarney lin all England, Scotland and Ireland, mean- ing by Killarney, its lakes, its streams its vegetation; and if mountains, wood and water --harmoniously blent ---constitute the most perfect and ade giip•te loveliness that nature presents, it surely insist be owned, that it has all the world over no superior-.
