The Bulgers and Austrian-Cerman armies have taken a considerable port ion oa Serbia but unless Greece through her. German queen plays further 'traitor to the Allies cause the enemy will never reach Turkey. Kitchener is now on the way to the Balkans and ;t is believed he will take command of the situs tion for a time at least. He will succeed, In the west the condi- tions remain as before. Russia is trimming tthe 'Germans on the east. Italy is successful in the south, and once the Balkan hole is st opped a ring c: f . iron that will press the life out of Germany will have been forged There is no cause font anxiety, but pal;: cause for more work, and more fight and snore money; and. victory is assured Britain has adopted a council ,rf three to conduct the tvar, Premier Asquith, acting temporarily its min- ister of war, the first lord of the admiralty, A. J. Ealfour, and the min- ister of munitions, Lloyd George. The generalopinion is fast finding favor among the great men in the Allied forces that the end is ap- proaching rapidly. The troubles in I the Balkans maey serve to prolong the war a little. but the result will be the same in the long run: TAMAN'S The Fall Track 1S OpC�I�� np S�Ic�di�ly n Made -to -Measure Clothes THE NEW SUITINGS OVERCOATINGS PANTINGS ARE EXCEPTIONAL VALUE THIS FALL.

Such women could not be relied upon in either case. The woman who, likes a family is not out howling her head off for a vo'fe. It is said that whelk the war is, over many German -Americans will icave *he United States and spend the rest of the;; days in the Fatherland, They are probably disgusted with the tittle they have been able to accomplish or the Fatlteland on this side- of the At - lantic Man> farmers are beginning to real- izc' 'that there is more money raising sheer than ie any other branch of farminr and are adding to their «locks.

It is understood that Tucke.rrsmith Council has backed up on their grant of $5000 to the Red, Cross Fund, be- cause the council did not pass the by-law at the time of passing the res- olution to grant that sum, and oecause someone said it was too large, and 'ae- cause some private individuals had subscribed. The township was well advertises in the matter. Toot well ad- vertised we think, to fall down entire- ly in this good cause, after such ex- cellent promise. _x—o—x— Sir John Hendrie, lieutenant -gover- nor of Ontario has issued a circular letter addressed "to all who helped to obtain the magnificent response to the appeal of the British Red Cross Society and the order of St. John," in which he states that it is already knows. that more than double the $50(1,000 asked as Ontario's share has been received, and that when the lull returns are completed it will not be surprising if that amount has been Ire- bly received. Special thanks is giv- en the press for their free advertis- lug. Alt this talk of peace' being :,ought by some one has a foundation. Even if Germany denies that it comes from he: it may nevertheless be !'oundcd on the fact that the Germans are at the maximum of their force and that when that point is reached' a more or less rapid decline must fattens there- after And no one knows 'this so surely or so quickly as' the Germans. But all the world is seeing it now. The enemy is getting nowhere—is not carrying defeat into England, or in France or in Russia, or into rtaly. But she is bringing exhaustion into her own organization. The war is not being fought in the trenches' so much as it is being fought in (the, great rings that are being put about G.er-. many's trade, heir suppliles', her money her men, her allies such as they are. Germany is losing any standing she ever had to her brutality, to her loss of the opinion of the world. HURON AND BRUCE TO FORM' A REGI; ENT FOR ; WAR. At a meeting of almost all the of- ficeras of the 33rd Huron Regiment held in Clinton on Friday night it was unanimously decided to do all possible to form -a special overseas battalion for Huron and Bruce to 'l e officered by '33rd and 32nd Regiment officers and to be recruited and trainect in the two counties. A committee was appointed to meet a committee of officers from the 32nd Bruce Regiimieint with the idea of ar"- ranging details. Following this a definite offer will be made to t•he militia department. It is Relieved there ;will be no great difficulty in raising the required ,nyi Ober tf ,nen, 1100 • to form the battalion,partic- ularl.y, as they are to be trained in their hoary;. towns. Lieut. -Cala Barrie .Combe,' .tecemt ly appointed to command the 33rd will likely command. 'the overseas re- giment ' Capt. Heaman, Liseut. " Stanbury and Edgar Torrance, who has ;also a lieutenant's certificate, were present at the meeting from, Exeter. CHILDREN PLAY WITH FIRE. Jack Black• five-year-old sora o:f. Charlet.

We must be patient with those but let us resolve to keep in the ranks as long as we can and no buried until the' day of our funeral, Again, John in prison got only the merest scraps of news, and like deaf. people he became suspicious. It is natural to distrust the movement we cannot follow. Many British people to -day only know part in regard to the war, and are asking' questions, and are suspicious. But the campaign leaders cannot reveal all. The same is true in spiritual matters. Men ask why God does not put an end to sin, etc., because we cannot understand the plan. The great temptation in life is to become impatient. But we must abide God's time for the des- truction of the evils of this world, and ;the delleat of the enemy. This old world is but a child, and there is a hand that guides. God is marching at' the head of the army and of the affairs of the world.

This 'text ;expresses the cry of a soul that wanted to know if his ef- forts had been a failure; if his faith had not been well placed. The .ans- wer •of Christ was sufficient for John and he was satisfied. There comes a time to us all when we might ask "Has my life b;een a failure?". We may think a .Wan has succeedted, but the man and his God alone know elf het has failed- in his life I thank God that •ny life has not been all a failure!

In the ease of charged wires falling, jeopardizing the lives of people, and resulting in heavy damage, we have something that might affect the annual cost. Experience has demonstrated in many other places that the sndar- - ground system of wiring on the main streets is the most economical in the lone: run as they are constantly pull- ing down. poles and adopting the un- derground system. Changing systems is expensive, as all mistakes are, then why not 'have it right, and the most approved way. A town beautiful has a money value and adds to the veluet of all the pro- perty in town, and as our main street is used and enjoyed by. all, all should take a pride in it and share the ^ost.

"Under Elydro, with many moire lights. of the usual 15e candle kind,'the cost is ex- pected to exceed $2500.00 a year. If the special system of lighting the business portion of Main Street is adopted, as a number of petitioners have hastily signed for, the extra cost of installing same is' estimated to be $2000.00. The extra' up -keep of these lights . is to be $700.00 a year for all time, besides a frontage tax of •eight and a fraction cents' a foot per year for twenty years, or appro- ximately :5300.00 a year,, more.
