TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 19 t5 SANDERS & CREECH The War Summary From several reliable resources the word comes that Germany has lost over 50 submarines since ;he war be- gan, This is more than they had made when the war began, so That it is evident that her -number of un- der -the -water craft arid trained men is becoming greatly lessened. The Austrians state their losses as 2,500,000 men, while the German losses are at the rate (of 300,000 a month or more than 2,000,000 elto- together.and . The boys of 16 years . the men of 60 years are now 'being placed under arms in Germany. It is now 'fully expected that Bute garia Greece and Roumania wilt ,very shortly line up with the Allies. The great successes of the Allies bni Gal- lipoli, where the Turks are sur- rounded, will hasten the decision .of the Balkan. States. Germany has proposed peace terms to Washington, which the Allies will not consider, and the Allies have again stated that they will teompiete the task before there need ,be any tall, of peace.

The Anniversary and Harvest Thanksgiving Services in connection with the Trivitt Memorial Church were held on Sunday last. The church was tastefully and beautifully decorated with flowers, fruits and grain, and the frame work. across the front of the chancel was beautifully ornamented with grain and flowers, while the pul- pit and other parts of the church wert. embellished with British flags. The weather was anything but favor able In the morning it threatened rain while in the evening there.. was a heavy downpour just as the eeonle were assembling. Notwithstanding this however the congregations were large are of the fighting on .the peninsula.' The British loss has been ineavy but " every effort has resulted in a gain; and it looks as though .they now nave the whip hand, The sinking of the Canadian Liner Hesperian by a German sub. shows that the German promise to United States to sink no more .Liners with- out Naming se of as little value as her promise to Belgium. Italy is sending a large number elf troops to the Dardanelles, 117 vessels so says the report. Disease is said to be raging in Austria and Germany. In Austria in 20 days there were X295 deaths from cholera alone, It is impossible to make terms with an outlaw. He must be conquered and put in safe keieping. That is what must happen~ to the Kaiser, end the Allies will do it, but it will .tot be foe some time yet. Germany must see her mistake when papers like the Saturday Even - int Post with a circulation of two minim: copies weekly, says,— "There twit, be no embargo on shipments of war munitions from this country.

Q. the return of Sir Robert Bor- den and Sir Sam Hughes, the :former pronounced their trip to the old land a success and announced that as rhe result• of their frequent conferences t with the war office, admiralty • and British Government. there would be closer co-operation between the two Governments. Sir Robert also an- nouncea that arrangements had been made for the transportation of the big Western grain crop via both ,he Atlantic and the Pacific and ,he felt positive no fears need be felt on that score We found the Canadian troopr at the front in splendid phys- ical condition and in high spirits. The indomitable courage mid the wonder- ful tenacity and resourcefulness which they have displayed in every sengage- men- have elicited everywhere the highest praise.

Eth- eringtons who passed away at the horns of his son. George, en Monday Inst at the good old ,o,get of 85 wears, i 7 months and 6 days. Mr. Etherin; ton was of the hardy, robust type and scarcely knew what; it was to, be :.ick or laid up until a couple weeks be- fore he died, and not even then did 'he suffer pain, It just seemed that his appetite failed him and taking his bed he gradually wattled until the end came The deceased was born 'in Vaughr Township, near .Toronto. At the ago of 24 years he married Har- riet Copping of Toronto, and two years later they moved to .the Town- ship of Usborne, settling on the farm on which he died. There was esorn to the happy union a family of eleven seven of whom surviue-4 sons and 3 daughters—James and George of Ilsborne, Edward of Detroit, and Her- bert of Chicago; Mi -s. Shaddock of Detroit.Mrs. George Etherington of Brown City, Mich., and Mrs, Walper of London. Being among the earliest of the pioneer residents of ,the .own - ship deceased shared in the hardships anti privations incident to pioneer life and he contributed more than the av- erage share of converting the virgin forests into the 'well -tilled farms in- to what. is to -day the finest home- stead.: in Western Ontario. Mr. Eth- erington was respected and esteemed for his many good qualities, .being of kindly dispositon, charitable and broad-minded. He was a Conserve,: in politics and a Methodist in relig- ion. Mi•s. Etherington predeceased her husband about 14 years. The fun- eral took place to. the Exeter •Cem- etery on Wednesday, all the family of the deceased being present. Because of the Patriotism and £trot duction campaign of the Dominion Government an extraordinary acreage was put under crop hi Eastern as well as Western Canada. As a ;cone- quenc•e • and despite the unfavorable! harvest •weather, it is probable that Ontario's agricultural yield is heavier ;bis season than on the average, or even in any previous year. ,A few weeks ago it looked asif the prairie crop would be badly damaged .by frost but •even its that ,event the . harvest would have b-ejen larger than if. the Government had not a year ago 'un- dertaken a systematic campaign to in- duce extended production. The wes- tern crop has come off victor, against the frosts so that .the crops in Can- ada will break all records Wheat is not as high in price ,as last year, but is much higher than 1912 and 1913.
