The Exeter Times, 1920-7-8, Page 7PRIME MINTER TENDERS RESIGNATION TO GOVERNOM INFRA New Party Formed With the Title "National Liberal and Conservative Pally." A despatch from Ottawa says:--. Sir Robert Borden will lay dawn at tho„,earliest possible date the power and authority of his office as Prime Minister of Canada, and with. them the duties and responsibilities which have lately weighed upon him. Before long another will reign at the head of the Government and of the party which he formed for the prosecution of the war and which as to endure in" the piping times of peace under the title of the "National Liberal and Conserva- tive Government." The Prince Minister at the caucus of his Parliamentary followers held on the anniversary of the birth of the Canadian Confederation, stated his de- sire and 'his intention to resign the office which he 'has held for almost nine years. "He announced," to quote the official memorandum subsequently issued, "his inability to sustain longer the very heavy burdens and vast re- aponsib:ldties imposed upon ,him as. Prime Minister, and he asked the members of the caucus to give lhian the honorable discharge to which he felt he was entitled." The. same gathering which rece'ved Sir Robert's declaration of his own plans also took the final step toward the perpetuation of the Union. To the statement of policy which the Prime Minister originally prepared nine months ago, and which has since been con,sddered by his followers, the caucus gave its approval. To the party which will stand before the Canadian people upon the platform now enumerated the caucus gave the name of "Nation- al Liberal and Conservative Party" National as typifying its .scope and aspirations and "Liberal and Conser- vative" as defining the elements com- posing it. Prior to the general caucus the Liberal -Unionists had a gathering in camera and decided to stand by any man chosen by the larger gathering, also to agree to the fusion of the Lib- eral and Conservative identities. By those present at the Historic caucus, insistence is laid en the spirit of harmony which dominated the pro- eeedings. "The two groups have be- come one," it was authenitabively stated. It is proposed, in the formation of the new Government, to make a re- duction in the number of portfolios. PARADE OF V.C. HEROES STIRS ALL BRITAIN His Majesty Entertains Win- ners at Buckingham Palace. A despatch from London says:- Loadon has had a little aftermath of the war -an aftermath which thrilled and deeply moved thousands who came not only from all parts of the city but from every miner of the British Isles to witness the spectacle. Great Britain's Victoria Gross heroes, whose deers will make this nation's history, pDsen oars of the little braes cross which only acts of highest valor and self--act-lila can win, marched from Weliinalea Barracks to Buckingham Patacr, 350 strong. Tli*oe'were th,e guests of King George at a garden party, they and; seven hundre.l ethers, for each reci-! eseitet f this highest award which i - Gat Britain can b•eztow, had been, eerie -Med to invite two friends'. Usu-' ., : ally j:+ was a father and a mother who arfed each V. C. through the' he c.b'orshipp:ng crowd that had gathered about the palace. It was perhaps the most wonderful part of London's war story, certainly second only to last year's great victory, parade -this garden party of golden. deeds. Ordinarily one possessor of a' V. C. is sufficient attraction to keep, any community in a state of idolatry,' but here o • rubbed elbows with hun-' dreds of heroes whose •deeds,: anany of them unbe:. e singly brilliant, had been, the inspiration for millions of others' during the war. There were officers and privates, men maimed and blinded and some wheeled in chairs. There was the oldest V. C., Sir Digh'ben Probyn, mere than eighty years of age, and .the youngest, Sergeant. Smith, nineteen. On the coats of all i dangled that coveted Maltese cross s from a bit of mauve ribbon. ' a Month's Fatalities in New York 187 a A despatch from New York says:- All records for highway fatalities in L ew York State were broken last month, when 137 persons were killed by automobiles, wagons, trains and trolley cars, according to the report of tbo National Highway Protective T Society issued here, This figure ex- e ceeds by 66 deaths the casualty list h of June, 1918, which was the nearest Cl to date. In New York city automo- biles caused the death of 62 persons. fi Prepare for Irish Riots vin Orange Day is learned that feather heavy rein= forcements are going to Ireland this week, many of them, to the north of Ireland, in order to prepare for July 12, tlhe great Orange day, upon which even the mora hopeful fear a repetition of the Londonderry riots on a huge. scale. It sr eported that the Gov-. e nment has requested the Ulster men not to hold their usual par - ,ades and processions cn that day, but it is impossible to confirm this, and according to reports from Belfast, Ulster will make a great denhonstration of her loyalty to the British Empire on that occasion. Sir Adam Becl:. Barely Escaped Electrocution A despatch from London, Ont., says: -Sir Adam Beck, while using a private telephone instrument in one hand and' a Bell telephone n the other 'hand, suffered a hock of 550 volts through the rivate line being short-circuited gainst a heavily charged transmis- ion line. Sir Adam was almost lifted ut of his chair, but though he narrow - y escaped electrocution he suffered o after-effects of his experience. f.� anmbeth Conference Meets in July A despatch from London • says:- wenty Canadian Bishops and 70 Am - 'lean Episcopal Bishops are already ere to attend the Lambeth World mach Conference on July 20. The points to be discussed at the fir Imperial Veterans Association Makes Plans A despatch from Ottawa says: -A complete ocean -to -ocean organization to care for the discharged soldiers of 'the British army who have taken up residence .in Canada is being planned by the Imperial Veterans' Association of Canada. In order to complete the chain of organizations the branch to be formed in Halifax, where hundreds of Imperials are living, will be con- ducted along the lines of a clearing house, at whit h the ex -British soldiers f may register on arrival. They will then be sent wherever they want to go under the protection of the asso- ' ciation.

IRELAND LIKE A WAR ZONE: Photo shows human barricade in County Clare. Soldiers and constables raiding parties and avoid surprise raids, line the roadway to intercept rebel TURK NATIONALISTS DEFEAT GREEKS Several Thousand Prisoners Reported Captured. A' despatch from Constantinople says: -The Sultan received word from Brousaa on Thursday of a big victory by the Turkish Nationalists over the Greeks. Pergama was captured from the Hellenes, and several thousand Greek casualties are reported. These has been no official Greek bat- tle communique for two _days. There is great exultation among the Turks in Constantinople because of the victory of the Nationaldaits over the Greeks in the vicinity of Pergama, where Mustapha Rental Pasha's forces are reported to have outflanked the Greeks and to be moving northwards towards Panderma (60 miles south- west of 'Constantinople on the Sea of Marmora), taking several thousand prisoners. There have been no official Greek communiques for two days, and the Turkish newspapers are not permitted to pant news unfavorable to the Greeks, but the Turks generally credit the reports of Mustapha Kemal's suc- cess. Lake Louise, one of the most beau- tiful lakes in the world, is .34 miles west of Banff. Britain's :Recovery. The British Government's plans for reducing the British war debt are ma- turing satisfaetoraly. The ChanoeIlor of the Exchequer told in the House of Commons on Thursday night that the joint Anglo-French loan in the United States, due October 15 next, will be redeemed in full. Since April U5,- 000,000 15;000,000 in'Treasury bills held in New York have been taken up. Great Bri- tain is deflating heir currency, to lift exchange with the United States to par and to get back once more en a real gold basis. The British people are making greet present sacrifices to recover their old standing in the world's conamiemce and finance. Heavy taxes -far exceeding those levied in, Canada -are being borne without much complaint. They ane accepted .as inevitable and salutary. •Chamberlain estimated in his; bud- get speech last April that, through ad- ditional taxes and deereased expendi- ture, the present fiscal year would end with a surplus revenue of £234,000,000 -about $1,000,000,000. Of this ex- eess abaut $360,000,000 will be applied, to reduce the floating debt. Prospects for the following year are evenbrighter. The Chancellor expects to have a surplus in 1921-'22 of 2800,- 000,000 -nearly $1,500,000,000 half of which will be applied to the float- ing debt. It is. the Chancellor's hope :that the entire floating debt can be When You Go Camping For one night camps in a settle section of the country it is proper and distinctly advisable to procure permis- exon to pitch the camp in somebody's d vail in order to make camp life thor- oughly enjoyable. A tent should be well staked down and guyed in order to shed water and resist a windstorm properly. A shallow V shaped trench on the uphill aide, and with the apex furthest from the tent wall, the wings reach- ing well beyond the tent's corners, will, in case of a storm, lead the water , to each side of the tent andprevent the floor from getting soaked. Of course the food supply of a camp- ing party will vary according to taste and the money expended. It is not 'necessary on motor car camping tours to carry a big quantity of groceries. and. canned goods, as supplies may generally be procured at numerous places during the day's journey and thus be readily replenished at fre- quent intervals, so as to save weight and bulk. However, enough for at least a couple of days rations should always be carried in case of accident or emergency, and if a mare perman- ent camp is established in a more or leas remote region a larger supply ie naturally necessary. Herewith are some suggestions for the commissary, the quantity depend- ing on the size of the party': Salt pork, bacon, smoked ham, can- ned meats and fish, concentrated soups, butter, lard or vegetable sub- stitute, evaporated milk or milk pow. 34 der, prepared pancake flour, corn � meal, flour, cereals, baking powder, 60 fresh bread, vegetables and fruit when obtainable, potatoes, lice, dehydrated to vegetables, canned hatred beans, col- fee, tea, unsweetened chocolate, gran.- 65 leted sugar, syrup, preserves or jellies, 58 vinegar,. plenty of lemons, pickles, d evaporated apples, seedless raisins, t canned pineapples, tomatoes and corn, ro salt, pepper, cayenne, olive oil, mus- . 40 ard, tomato ketchup, fresh eggs, graham crackers and a dozen boxes of $5 afoty matches,. 5 grove, or wood lot, or may be orchard. Such permission is rarely refused if the request is accompanied with a pro- mise to leave no litter on the ground when leaving. Toward the evening select a .suitable spot that appeals near a farmhouse where usually may precured fresh milk and eggs and probably even a loaf of home made bread or a jar of home preserved fruit. If possible camp on high ground, not too near water, on account of mos- quitoes. For a more permanent eamp it is of course advisable to choose the site with greater care, especially keeping in view the proximity of wood and water. Pitch the tent preferably on elevated and slightly sloping ground and avoid hollow places. If possible, choose a partly shaded spot, but near the open. Never choose a site near dead timber or dense woods, to avoid fire danger, as well as• bugs and in- sects. Each member of a party should have his or her allotted task. Thus, while, one gets out the tent, erects it and prepares the cots • and bedding, another will get the stove, If one is used, ready and unpack the pots, pans; dishes and food, while still another, if there are that many in the party, will hustle the wood, light the fire and bring the water. Should there be a fourth member, it will be his or her lot to wash the dishes and pots when the meal is over, a task which had best be shifted . from time to time, as no- body likes to wash dishes. The main thing is that everybody is a "good ellow," willing to do his or her share, n truth, "willing hands make light t work. A slacker is sure to spoil the good comradeship which should pre- 1 vmmscomenwolisie f KN0I WHERE We...

Such financial recuperation on Great Britain's part is the best assurance of economic recovery in Europe. What Great Britain does Fran a can also eventually do. And France and Great' Britain together should the able to stabilize the Continent and even drag central Europe up out of the economic abyss. The record of the Motherland during the war was glorious. Since, in the trying times of readjustment, her people are showing as indomitable a spirit. Cyril Maude's Story. Queen Mary, it is said, declares that the funniest story she ever heard is this one, which Cyril Maude tells apropos• his • visit to America. A wo- man was taken to see Niagara Falls. For a few moments she was fascin- ated. Then, suddenly, she exclaimed, in agonized• accents, "And that re- minds me -I'm sure I left the bath tap running," and made tracks for home.

A despatch from Warsaw says:-- Palish forces on the Bolshevik front have evacuated Mozir and Kaienkow- it;�, in Polesia, aceordaing to an official statement issued at eremy staff head- quarters here. This step was taken, th it is said, for e purpose of shorten- ing the front. Soviet troops n the Bobruisk see for are regrouping under oovei: of artillery fire, the statement says, but in the Kiszyn region thea Poles' have defeated' a strong detachment of theenemy, capturing four =nonanda numbof machine guns. In the region: west of Kwiabla, Gen- eral Budenny''s Bolshevik cavalry has broken through the. Polish front, and. the Polish infantry is -retiring toward Kara keeping up a rear -guard en- gagement against a superior Bolshe- vik farce. In the Szepietowka region new divisions of Caucasus cavalry have been melon, tion, whole Polish int fantry has repulsed a Soviet attack in that diet-rid.Heavy fighting is eeporbed on vari- ous paints along the front, especially in the Ukraine.� The Bolshead- vance has reached the region of Kor- zec, just east of Rovno. A despatch from Farris says:- Attempts ley Russian Bolshevik forces to cross the Beresina River between Bobruisk and Borisov here have been repelled with heavy bosses, according to an official Polish statement issued on Thursday and received here by wireless. The statement records the success- ful retirement of the Poles from Mozir and Kalenkowitz, and says the Poles ixt counter -attacking the Boisheviki captured prises ere and machine guns in this region. In the neighborhood of Sze.pie- towka the enemy has occupied ter- ritory evacuated by Polish troops, the statement says.

Your mother had some simple rule*:the simplest one of these--- S'he always kept the kitchen porch a place -for �shelling peas:. On eummer mornings when the shade lay cool and dewy there She'd bring them in a shining pan, the steps, her only chair; The little curls, about her forehead used to bob and shine In that cool, shady, spotless, bower of memories o' inane. There glinting milk pails, stood arew to wait the western .dun„ There farm halide doffed their hate and stretched themselves when work was done, Until the welcome dinner call, and there the children played In all the languid, drifting hours' of bird song and of shade; And there at dusk we sat to watch the stars come twinkling out; While all the little, silent sounds ;or ' nighttime chirped about. We always figure on the wear of things we buy and sell; We ought to figure how they'll last lai memories as well. For many roofs may shelter us ea We 1 is poising by, But only in our memories we live until 1 we die. So choose your house of dreams,. my 1 dears, and choose it as you please - But there is nothing like a kitchen. porch for shelling peas. -T�r- The Man Himself; A. man of strong char -anter is not afraid to find a respon rb:lity devolv- ing on hinieeelf. It may s�eera for a time most pleasant to dwell can a vale of no decision, where the mind need never be made up and nothing mat- ters and to -day is only the sluggish current of time between to -marrow and yesterday. But none whose man- hood in the least is precious to h mcares to live that way. Mere inanition becomes to hint as monotonous and; demoralizing as a steady diet of breast and tea is to the physique. He must have some counterirritant, some. keen, and bracing opposition, that stiffens his morale, brings into, play the mus- cularity of character, famine powers that might be atrophied in long disuse. Every situation has the 'human fac- r at the centre of it as the hub is in e midst of the wheel. For the real? wing power you will have to look edi behifkend. man's machinery and find a brain no larger than a• sponte or a eauldfio ver ruling the whole mighty Whatever the hand of haaan calls into being the mind of man will regulate.
