Positive proof has a been found that
the two great German dreadnaughts
Kaiser and Kronprinz ;were sunk by
torpedoes during the battle off Jut-
land. and that they now have been.

There are at least two, good reasons
why the 'Western, Ontario 'troops
should lee moved from London ta
larger and better camp, London
grounds are altogether too small for
drill that is necessary to regi-
ments ,acid brigades and divisions.
More roam was necessary far prac-
tice Stpresent of arfaare
.
In fact we have heard privates say
that during their stay. in London they
learned very little Another reason
was to keep them away from the er-
as that beset ,young men—in brief,
wine and women, Aipart from these
reasons it would have been nice to
have them near their homes ea chat
they could come home often; but af-
ter all, it is the training that is want-
ed and no one knows it better Than
Sir Sam Hughes,
-�x—a—tt-
The boys of the 161st from all
accounts were not in the Camp Bor-
don trouble, except in such a way
that pressure behind forced afew of
them .into it, and ane or two were
slightly injured in consequence. The
soil of the camp is sandy, the weath-
er was very 'hot, the soldiers naturally
had to make their own conditions for
a day or two and they( had, left a com-
fortable abet easy niiiitary life at Lon-
don, leaning nothing and having the
pleasures (i') right at hand, and there
you have the !reason the boys were
not pleasa.d. They got a little has-
ty. The camp is now assuming bet-
ter conditions, cement roads, recrea-
tion grounds, the best of water, eta:.
and in a few nveeks the best of soil
for camping xi; and you will find
the men well pleased.

Liberal logic is a curious thing,
Up to last week Opposition papers and
orators were assuring the Canadian.
people that the Borden Government
was permitting any quantity of Can,
adian nickel to reach the Germans;
and ane Western Liberal went so
far as to charge Sir Robert Borden.
with being in alliance with the Huns,
Last week a German submarine ar-
rived in Baltimore with the announce
merit that nickel "was sorely needed;
in Germany", and that the undersea
boat proposed taking back a cargo,
if it could get it.
The: confession of the German cap-
tain that nickel was "sorely needed"
in Germany didn't quite fit in with the
positive. assertions that Sir Robert
Borden was allowing the Huns to get
any quantity of it, but the Liberals
were by no means confounded. Not
they. They simply shifted their sails
without batting an eye lash arid
shrieked that the Government was
taking no steps to prevent that Hun
commander from getting his cargo of
nickel,
in the meantime of course, the
Government quietly pursues its course
conscious of the ;positive fact that
owing to an arrangement made with
and approved by the British Admiral-
ty,not a pound of Canadian nickel bas
reached the Germans since the war
began, Dior will reach them while the
war continues •

FIND THE PEOPLE'S £)PINION
—North Perth election returns with-
out a doubt, meant. that the 'temper-
ance. ,people of that riding just went
to the polls and voted Grit and Tory,
irrespective of what the liquor people
were doing. The conclusion is plain
that the Hearst Government has the
Tory temperance people with it, and
the Grit temperance people and the
liquor interests against it. If there is
any 'doubt remaining in the mind of
Premier Hearst the best thing be can
do is to open up about half -a -dozen
constituencies in various parts of
Ontario as a test. Make it - plain'
that the question to be decided in
these contests is 'whether the Prov-
ince wants the temperance legislation
The Conservative' !party can afford
to lose half -a -dozen seats to find
out what the !people want. 1),o not
ma'ke,any mistake the Grits areplay-
ing politics and the Tories (night as
well get wise to the faot at once and
play them at their own game. If the
results in these contests show that
the people do • not want the tem-
perance legislation, then cut it out.
That is paain. That is following the
will of the !people as `exnressed in
the ballot boxes. That is what we
would do if we were running' the
government, This' petitioning the
government for temperance legisla-
tion .and. marking your ballot just the
opposite way doesn't fool anyone..
THE FALL FAIR,=Don't allow the
rural Fall Fair to decline and, die.
The big" fairs • do not take their,placei
as thousands of people ;go to Toron-
to and London fairs weito go for the
outing and .the .srpecia,l program and;
•may Use never see the exhibits. The
County or Township Fair represents
the improvement. or decadence of the
immediate locality and on its main-
tenance. will depend much of, the fu-
ture history ,of the community. Ev-
;erybady should boom the local Fair
and not leave it 'to a d,ite•ctor or• two
'or the secretary to shoulder the whole
responsibiility. .If every society had a
rid
meurabers�hip mall of 400 a great stride
\vau.ld be made toward improvement
and vim • in The maintenance. There
are hundreds of farmers who are
not linked up -with the Fail Fair,
which should be one of the ,most
hustling features in •the community.
Get an ' 'exhibit ready- and; ,push !the
Fair. •
London Free Press Donates
A Trophy.
The London Free Press has very
generously donated a handsome
Trophy for the First Event of the
Annual Bowling Tournament of the

this event was donated by S. G.
Bawden and was won last year by
the London Thistles for the third
time and it became their' property,
according to the conditions hi ;the
Tournament.
.
On the Secretary's mentioning the
loss of this trophy to the Manager
of Western Ontario's greatest news
!raper, The London Free Press, the
manager immediately offered a trophy
to take. its !place, and this offer is
highly appreciated by the Exeter
Bowling Club,
