The War Summary
ICatchener is on the jola in the Bal-
kans, and something will be doing, or
the most of us miss our guess. There
is need of concerted action in that
quarter of the globe, and Kitchener
can manage it if anyone can. Then -
the King of Greece, a pupnet of the
Kaiser, and who holds his crown "ay
sufferance of Britain, France and Rus-
sia, needs a little straightening up.
We imagine Kitchener will attend to
that job In due time as well, or else
see the reason why.
Frew the allies stondpoint he sit-
uation has changed to their liking a
little during the week. The progress
of the enemy has been practically
ended. While Greece and Rouman-
ia on the fence they do. not
lean quite so heavily toward he an-
etny When they feel ure 'he
force is strong enough to win
they may be expected to, slide off on
the Allies side.
German subs, have been busy in the
Mediteranean this week, with the loss
to Italy paricularly of several boats
and some scores of lives. The re-
sult is Italy is going into' the Beleart
fight which will help some.
The western front is solid ihppar-
ently ane the Russians are forcing the
lighting on the east, while Italy is
slowla invading Austria ;tom the
South
" Above all, in spite of the great
expense the allied nations are pros-
pering while Germany and Austria
have a civil population that is in deen
distress.
In such a case who wins?

According to the expressed opin-
ion of the man on the street one
would judge that the council had
actea not unwisely in not granting the
petition of a number of ratepayers to
change the system of lighting Main
Street business section. It is eonsid-
ered that this is no time to commence
the expenditure of an extra $1000 a
year.
England appears appears to be in sight of
conscription,. Lord Derby eays that
if the eligible young men do not zome
forward in sufficient numbers before
the end of the month compulsion will
be applied. It may be that this hint
will be slain cleat, for there is hardly
any young man in England, however
little interest he has in the war, who
woulo not rather take his, place volun-
tarily in the ranks than be aragged
from.undee and forced into a uniform,
Canada with a population of less
than 8,000,000, has 336,000,000 oushels
of wheat or 42 bushels per, head of
population
The united States has only 10 bush-
els per head of poeulation, and Russia
only ,
In the Province of Saskatchewan in
Western Canada there were grown
this seasor 130,000,000 bushels of
wheat, compared with 118,140,000 beae
els grown in Kansas, the premier
wheat producing State of the United
States.
Throughout the the Dominion last sum-
mer forest fires caused losses valued
at no less than $9,5361867, The loss
by forest fires is considerably lower
this year than it ever was previously.
Quebec province during the first
eight months of 1915 lost through
eons; fires $2,254,115, which Is a good
dea' lower than the losses' off Ontario
were although the forest areas ere
considerably smaller than Quebec, tos-
ses by f ire reached the figure of $3,-
69 4,82, British Columbia with its vast
forests only lost $913,125 due large-
ly to its forest fire -fighting organiza-
tions.

Evere year several deaths occur
where carbonic acid in newly filled
silos poison those who enter. The
greatest danger seems to be immed-
iately after the silo is partly filled
and permitted to stand two or three
days, care should be exercisediein go-
ing inte• ft. If a lighted lantern goes
out when lowered into a silo it is
dangerous for a man to enter. When
a silo is filled and allowed to settle ax -
trema care should be taken to `drain
off" the gas which is heavier than
air and will therefore slowly run out
like water if the doors' above the sil-
age line are opened and, free circula-
tion is permitted. After two or three
weeks time the danger af gas is
much reduced and there is no danger
if care is exercised.
IN MEMORIAM.
(Miss Edith Cavell)
---
Calmly as sinks the setting sun,
In glory in the gorgeous welt, .
She passes, now her labor's done,
Immortal victory is' woe;
And she bath lentered into rest.
Where war's most crimson field is
spread
And human blood as rivers lbw,
'Mid wounded and the silent lead
Her willing footsteps gladly sped,
, To minister, to friend or foe.
Her mockery of trial ends,
A.. did her Lord's in, Pilate's day,
No justice in the sentence blends,
No honor that mock Court attends,
But hatredrankles all the way.
What was the crime for which she
Thi, maid oil noble birth and life
This Jean die Arc int sacrifice,
That from her ashes will arise,
Ten -thousand armed for the strifei
Nor neeo they, for Jehovah, saith
engeance is mine' I will repay"
And lo t from outthe sliade,s cl
death
The sword of vengeance is un-
sheathed,
And moveth for the fatal day.
In Teuton eyes 'tis fearful 'crime
To be of Britain's, blood and race;
Worthy of ,punishment condign,
Such justice as beyond the Rhine
Is conjured with unblushing lace.
Eternal justicehath decreed,
The overthrow of Teuton, power;
Destruction of her armed greed,
Her ,thirst to make the nations bleed
Doti! God abhor this solemn hour.
This martyr daughter of the brave,
Who trod the earth in Jesus Name,
The ebbing tide of life to save,
Or ease the pathway to the grave,
And bear the burden of their nain.
Nor sleeps she now in felon's grave,
Her blood' Commingles with dreelain
She's passed' beyond the breaking
wave
.His strong hand who name to
•,save, ,
Not did she live, on die, in vain.
A laurel wreath's around her brow,,
Who walked in Jesus footsteps here,'
With every ,grace He 'did endow,
She bound herself with sacred Vow,
To serve in reverent love and fear.
Exeter Nov. 9. R. Redmond
20th Anniversary.
•I•• Or.
Large congregations greeted Rev. E.
G. Powell, field secretary of the Hu-
ron Temperance Alliance, on his ep-
peatance in his old pulpit in Main it.
Methodist church on Sunday last, the
occasion being the 20th anniversary of
the re -opening of the church. Many
were unable to secure seats in the
evening The sermons were 61 Mr.
Powell's usual forceful and able char-
acter, and appealed personally to all
present
The choir rendered choice music
and was ably assisted by; Mr. Bentley
choir master of Emmanuel Presbyter-
ian church,. Toronto, and Mr. lad. J.
Christie
A mass meeting of deel Sunday
School and friends was heltit in the
afternoon at which addresses were
given and music 'furnished by Exeter
Orchestra, Diplomas and seals were
presented to faithful scholars.
The evening service in Cavell Pres-
byterian church was withdrawn.
In the eyelike" Rev. Powell -ook
for hie text, Eier;dats 3,. 4, "And when
the Lord saw that he tinned aside
to see God called him out of the
midst of the bush and said "Moses.'
and Moses said to Him, "Hear are 1,"
and said in part as' follows, -
Moser was born in poverty and
raised in a palacea He was .40 years
old belore he found himself„ and then
he slew the Egyptian. Moses like
many others thought he knew. God's
way He thought to commit a wrong
to accomplish a right. He hound him-
self charged with murder and sled to
Midian ane after threshing ths teas-
ing shepherd boys he watered the
flocks and fell' in lova with a daugh-
ter of that country. This great lead-
er married and lived ;here 40 years,
We find no history of those :arty
years ., except what is indicated in the
names of his two sons. The millet)l
the first born shows that Moses felt
"a stranger in a strange land", and we
on this earth are strangers in strange
land and far from home, The. secend
son's name means, "God is my help"
showine that Moses had lived down
the passion element, and he, sees the
hand of God in every, day hie. Until
we reach the same conclusion we, will
not do as God wouftli ha ve us d'o'. It
is' so also in national life. Success in
this great war will come it us because
we recognize God as on our side,
Moses when travelling sees the push
burnine but not being consumed. He
stooa before God to investigate and
we get the words of, the text, He did
not pull the bush apart as a higher
critic would.
Moses now hears the name by
which he had not been called for 40
years, and he becomes near to God
as' in early years. Sometimes in bus-
iness and in pleasure we, forget God,
and we forget until some mysterious
happening brings him near to us, May
God be brought near and establish
himself in your hearts and in this town
Tha child oaten through death teach -
ea us of God andove hear Him speak.
God works in a mysterious way. He
is speaking to -day to the nations LS
never before, and, thank God, the ra-
tions are listening as never , before.
'You ma, be a straoges in a strange
land but God knows all about you.
After forty years God conees to His
ancien' servant and calls him, by name,
Young man bind that thought to your
heart and you have a power that will
holdyou to Him:
God has a right to. the, service of
every soul. First, because he awns
you. All on earth belongs to God,
the gold the silver, the grain, etc. We
cam,: into this world empty handed
and so we also go, out. In the grave
we are all on a level. Second, « be-
cause He made you. All the powers
you have God gave you -seeing, hear-
ing memory, and all talents come from
God and belong to God. Third, be-
cause he redeemed us. Some :ayethat
Canada should not be in, this war, but
I say That Canada has a right to ev-
ery able-bodied man in this, war. All
our liberties were bought by the blood
of our forefathers, and it; is our duty
to give of our bestt5 in this wan Can-
ada is only doing her duty. God gave
his Son for us, and wehave a :ight
to serve God,. because he bought us.
by his death on the cross.
Yet there is only a small propor-
tion of the men oft this town and of.
Huron who realize this.
• God .has a plan that needs our ser-
vics I would not stay ini my occup-
ation unless I felt God wished me to.
He has a plan touching every life.
The: soldier or merchant or profes-
sional man is working our His plan,
Why not put every life under God's
