Loftus Hern, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Hern, of town, are becoming less, although. it is hoped that with the return of the soldiers some definate information might be gathered. Pte. Hern was first reported wounded af- ter the battle of Ypres, April 23rd, 1915; and was Iater reported miss- ing. The matter was taken up with the information Dept., of the Cana- dian Red Cross who got in touch with some of the boys of the 4th Batt. to which Pte. Hern was attach- ed. One report stated that the writer had seen Pte. Hern killed by shell early on the morning of the engagement, but did not see the botry or did not know of his burial. The other report was as follows: To Information Dept. Canadian Red Cross Re your enquiry March 28th, 1916, Pte. L. R. Hern. I have had two accounts concern- ing Pte. Hern. One from Capt.

P g s BRITISH LABOR CONCERNED McDougall Hay, of Elora in writ- ing riting to the Globe on prohibition, quotes an English paper as voicing concern for British labor because of prohibition measures in America. He says The London Spectator is by no means an organ of the teetotal fan- atics, yet the Spectator itself writes with the utmost gravity of the ef- fect of American prohibition on Bri- tish labor. That very sane paper questions how far British labor will be able to compete with American labor if the latter is freed from the EXETER WELCOMES ROME HEE SOLDIER SONS Exeter this week gave a royal wel- come to some of her soldier boys who returned from overseas, Sergt. Nelson Stacey, l'4. M. Few of the boys who left Exeter with. the 161st Huron Batt. have the record for service that Sergt. Nelson Stacey, son. of Mr. Jos. Stacey, of Hay Tp., has. He left Exeter as a Private and returns with three stripes and a Military Medal, Many of his companions were des- tined to Casualties and the regret- table part is tli'at some of them now sleep amid the poppy fields of Flan- ders, but the task of bringing the ruthless Hun to 'his knees and mak- ing the 'world safe for democracy, has been accomplished so far as these boys 'are Concerned, but Sergt. Stanlake was destined to see it through. For over three years he has been with, the 58th Batt., a Batt. that brings back with it a record that will carry its name down through history for the valiant part it played. Three military medals come to Exeter won by boys in the ranks of the 58th, while the Victoria Cross was awarded to Corp. Harry Miners whoa single-handed captur- ed two enemy machine guns. Corp. Miners enlisted at Clinton and train- ed. under Maj. W. J. Heaman, of town. The 58th Batt. was on the Somme sector when the draught from the 161st joined them. When Vimy Ridge fell to the Canadians the 58th was in reserve, but was moved up early in the action and took part in the advance on Lens. Then came the battle of Hill 70,. and later Passschendale, where it added fresh laurels to its already glowing record. The battalion par- ticipated in the. glorious advances. which terminated with the signing of armistice. The battalion went as far as Brussels in Belgium when they were returned to England. Corp. Wilfred Stewart son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stewart, came home with the 58th Batt. sail- ing on the Baltic. Corp. Stewart went overseas with the 161st Huron Batt. in November, 1916. Within two weeks after his arrival in England he was draughted to France and at- tached ttached to the 58th. Batt. This Batt. has a glorious record of achievement and Corp. Stewart was one of the few who left with the Huron Batt. to see the job for which they en- listed, over with. Corp. Stewart was fortunate or unfortunate enough to receive a slight wound from a bursting shell which took hint frotu the lines for a short time but which was not serious enough to send him to Blighty. He shares with the bat- talion attalion in the honor that unit has won for itself. In Toronto on Sun- day morning a great reception was tendered the returning heroes and at their arrival at the Exeter depot Monday evening an immense crowd was out to welcome them home. Pte. Jos: Follick Pte. Jos. Follick, son. of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Follick came over on an hospital osp al ship, landing at Portland. He arrived in London Monday morn- ing and came up the same evening. His sister, Miss Edna Follick went to London Saturday evening to meet him. Pte. Follick went overseas early in 1918 and soon after was draughted to France. He was at the base for some time being attached to working parties.
