Hon. Mr. Duff.

of twenty leading labor men, which

The formal Petrograd admission of
the evacuation of Bucharest and the
German version of the capture of a
trench on' Hill 304 near Verdun are
the main points in yesterday's war
despatches. The Rouman-Russian re-
treat appears to have encountered no
interruption so far. Both German and
Britian comments on the fall of Bucha-
rest attach more importance to its
military value. The political and morel
effect is very great, butit may work
in a different direction than the Ger-
mans expect. A realization that the
Germans have for the time being estab-
lished their supremacy and that the
fate of all small nations is in their
hands may arouse a stronger deter.
mination to break their power,instead of
inclining the Allies toward peace.

There are two vacancies in the Pres-
byterian Church that will be hard to
fill. the places of Rev. J. S. Duncan and
Miss Dora Lees, organist. Sault Ste.
Marie Presbyterian Church has sent a
call to Rev. J. S. Duncan, who has been
pastor for the last six years. Lucknow
was the first congregation he had after
his ordination. Miss Lees, who has
been organist for many years, is going
to Detroit to reside. Lucknow has al-
ways been her home.
The members of the choir assembled
at Miss L G. Sheriff's home and pre-
sented Miss Lees with a beautiful ad-
dress and cut -glass vase and reflector;
also an oak tray. Rev. Mr. Duncan
made an address, after which the choir
