Recent News Items,
Our Jack Canuck ie. active,
He ?lays a pret,y goal,
And makes swift runs to cover
When drums begin to roll.
And Jack Canuck'. unselfish,
Ile lets the honors go
All to his British brother,
When war time bugles blow.
And Jack C'tnurk Is mod: st;
That's why he chooses rears,
And segs the front seats taken
By British volunteers.
Yes, Jack Canuck's a hero
Whose glory never fades;
He'll lick his weight in wild cats
— The day his lodge parades.
And Jack Canticles free handed
He sends, (Jack's awful wise),
His dumpling dust in ship loads;
(It pays to advertise.)
For Jack Canuck is thrifty
He wants, when peace ie made,
To feed the worn out nations,
And capture all the trade.
And Jack Canuck's religions;
(He'll tell you so himself;)
He sighs for Golden Pavements
And gates and walls of pelf.
And Mies Canuck and Mrs,
They value so the lives
Of husband, son and sweetheart,
These daughters, maids and wives.
They'll let the Belgian mother,
The French aid English maid
Give husband, br,.•ther, lover,
To stop the Mailer's raid.
They'll see sweet Highland Mary
Walk life's long path alone
And hear dear Irish Nora
Wail for the loved ones gone
They'll Bend a feather pillow
Or knit a pair of socks,
And think they've done their duty
By them that take the knocks.
Oh that our hearts were bigger,
And not so worldly wise,
'When duty calls, or danger';
Ready to eacrifise.

Try Armor Device to Stop Bullets
The Canadian troops when they sail
may be equipped with au aemorplate
protection which it is expected would
*ave the the lives of hundreds of the
men, while they are engaged with the
enemy, especially when defendirg a
entrenched positition agelnet an
infantry attack.
The de vine is a spade which would
also bo used to dig shallow ttenchee by
the advance party during and advance.
In the blade an oval aperture is pun
.:bed. After the trenches are dug
the spade would be placed on the
ground, it being possible to secure it
fairly firmly with a spike, and 'spraw-
led on behind, it the troops fire thru
the aperture getting a secure rest for
the rifle and a splendid protection
from the bullets of the enemy.
Stood All Testa.
Experiments with the spades were
carried out yesterday, both with the
Ross rifle and .tnark 7 ammunition,
and a Laird machine gun. Neither
weapon punctured the plate and only
in one or two instancee did the bullet
crack the spade. They plunged against
the steel and fell twisted and melted to
the ground.
Col. Sam Hughes said that be was
delighted with the resulte, but would
express no opinion at to the proba-
bility of' the adoption of the device by
the troops,. The spade weighs four
pounds, and it is believed, 'Ionia be
carried by the troops without much
extra. effort.
Sergeant Hawkins' Shot.
Sergt. Hawkins of the 48th High-
landers, Toronto King's prize winner,
was picked to do the shooti with
the rifle. Time after time healift, the
spades, but it was only at 200 yards,
with Mark7 ammunition, which has a
velocity of 400 feet more per second
than the Mark 6 type which had been
used by the Canadian troops until the
present, that he did any real damage.
And then the spade was not really per-
forated.
Col. Hughes. with Col. W(illiame,
camp commendant, Lieut.- Col.
Murphy. Lieut, -Col. McBain, Lieut.
Col. Hearer. who bas charge of the
musketry work, Lieut, -Col, Burland,
Major Loomis an:dother senior offlic-
ers, watched the experiments. Even
when a full company of the First
Royal Montreal Regiment spattered
away at the spades they did not pierce
them, and it is believed that the device
will prove one of the most valuable
ever adopted if it is approved.
Tactical Manoeuvres.
The 2ud infantry Brigade did not go
to the ranges today. Early in the
morning it crossed the river and war
was immediately declared between the
bine and the red forces. A. blue de-
tachment, which was covering the
bridges over the Jacques Cartier, and
which yesterday had been heavily en
gaged with a red force, was forced to
fall back during the night in a south-
westerly direction.
The red force -was bent on crushing
this detached potion of the blue army
before reinforcements came up, or be-
fore it was able to rejoin the main
body. The. operations were carried
out yery successfully, the two bodies
coming into contact early in the
m-trning. The troops were handled
splendidly by the commanding offieere,
Major Hart having charge of the blue
force and Major Lipsett of the red.
Soon the rumble of the artillery was
heard over the camp and shortly after
the noon hour the engaged was con-
cluded. Col. Currie whoae
w in char-
ge of the entire operations, was unable
to give out hie decision as to the victors
this a u•'ning, owing to the absence of
Cul, Wiliiawe.
The Duke of Connaught was a spec-
tator of the manocvers and this after-
noon he touredthe camp again,
It was announced this evening by

Communication.
Dominion Church, Ottawa,
Sept, 20th, 1914.
Me. Geo, Sections
Editor of Wingham Advance
Dear Sit
: --
I scarcely realized all that was in-
volved in my hasty promise to give to
the readers of the 'Advance' a few lines
concerning General Conference. Gen-
eral Conference is the Supreme Court
of the Methodist Church of Canada,
Is is composed of 850 delegates viz: -
175 ministers and 170 laymen and tep-
resonting every Conference from the
Atlantic to the Pacific of our Dominion
also Newfoundland and. our Confer-
ence in China. The Presiding officers
are the General Superintendents, Dr,
Carman and Dr. Chown. These honor-
ed leaders preside alternately at each
session of the Conference. Dr. Carman
is the venerable leader of Methodism,
82 years of age, yet he is alert and vig-
orous and has a marvellous: of tbegrip
Conference. The work of the Confer-
ence is far reaching. Meeting once in
4 years the eyes of our people are upon
them, for they make the laws whicb
govern the people called Methodists
and lay plans for future development.
Dr. G•ifflo, the Superannuation Treas-
urer, who far over00 years has been in
the active work and Dr. Ryckman 85
years of age are the oldest men of the
Conference. The Conference as -a
whole is rather a young men's confer-
ence apparently quite democratic. It
is quite fitting that the General Con-
ference should meet in the Capital
City of the Dominion. Ottawa is a
revelat ion, it has many majestic build-
ings, its homes are simply a delight
The Doniiuion Government has.joined
with the city to make Ottawa the mos:
beautiful city in the Dominion. The
drive through Rockeliffe Park along
the shores of the Ottawa river with thc-
Leurentian Mountains in the distance,
is chat trying. The drive along the RIP.
eau Canal is a revelation of what man
can do. The exquisite gardens, beauti-
ful law ae,superb homes; delightful rue -
ti %bridges, ate a never ending scene of
beau y. Canadians need to be prouo
c..f. thtir Capital City.
The General Conference was to have
been welcomed by the Govenor Gener-
al, but owing to the war he could not
be present, Tee Hon. Martin Burrell
Minister of Agriculture, on behalf of
the Government gave a cordial wel-
come in a speach that for charm ano
diction would be hard to excel. The
Mayorwel-
'come.
of the cit civic, w
city the civi
'come. The replies were tendered ,by
De. Carman and Mr. N. W. Rowell of
Toronto and were each characteristic
of the men. Perhaps the outstanding
address given thus far was given by
Dr. Endicott of Toronto the Grneral
Secretary of Foreign Missions.
Tar retain part of the work thus fat
has been done in committee. No Bras-
tic legislation is expected, never-the-
lese q•tite startling propositions are
being made. Now Me. Editor I will
be tiring the good folk who peruse
your column', so I will con dude with
greetings.
Respectfully yours,

ONTARIO'S PREMIER
SUDDENLY CALLED
Sir Ian= Whitney, After Months
of Comp:ratively Good Health,
Sucov.mbod to Hemorrhage
END NOT EXPECTED
Sketch of the Life of Man Who Fought
Hie Way Upwards
Sir Jew. 'Whitney, Premier of On-
tario, died at Itis residence, 113 St.
George street, Toronto, shortly after
noon on Friday of cerebral hemorr-
hage. His sudden demise was quite un-
expected, although his health had been
very poor for the past month.
Early on Friday he complained that
he was not feeling so well and
about 10.45 o'clock his condition was
such that an emergency telephone call
was sent toehis physician, Dr. H. J.
Hamilton. Dr. Hamilton hurried to
.his distinguished patient, who was
rapidly sinking. It was already ap-
parent that the end was near.
With the Premier, when death came,
were Lady Whitney and Miss Whitney.
Sir James Whitney will go down
into history as a man of sterling in-
tegrity, a man whose honesty of pur-
pose never was questioned. "We are
not heaven -born rulers," he declared,
when lie took dr: mantle of Govern-
ment in 1909. ",V° aro Just plain
common-sense br ;:--^ tuna who have
an intelligent idea cf •,v: at we want
to do, who have a C.l t.nct idea of -
what the people wish us to do, and
who, therefore, if we make mistakes
during the next few years, will be
amenable to blame for so doing."
That was the attitude of the late
Premier in his public life, 118 it always
had been in his private life.
A Canadian by descent and by birth,
as well as in sympathy and sentiment,
was Sir James. He came of that
sturdy English stock that gave to
this continent its hardy pioneers, and
planted civilization in the new world.
His Early Life
At Williamsburg, in Dundas County.
James Pliny Whitney was born or
October 2nd, 1843. In his early year,,
he had the advantage of that active
work on the farm that develops brain
and muscle and gives one intensely
practical ideas of life. Yet while he
was still plowing the straight furrow
of boyhood his mind was fixed upon
greater achievements, and he knew
that the golden key of knowledge
alone could open the gate that admits
to the higher walks of life.
Quick and practical, young Whit.
ney soon outgrew the educational
facilities of his neighborhood and he
took a course of study at one of the
most famous of Canadian Schools—
the Cornwall Grammar, School. There
he developed a keener relish for in-
tellectual pursuits, and formed the
determination to master the intrica-
cies of law.•
Accordingly, in the law' offices of
Macdonald and Maclennan at Corn-
wall, the county town of the united
counties of Stormont, Dundas, and
Glengarry, young Whitney prepared
to qualify for the bar. Mr. John
Sandfleld Macdonald, then Prime
Minister of Ontario, was the senior
member of the firm. Mr. Whitney, like
Mr. Macdonald, was a Baldwin Re-
former. When party rivalries 'drove
Mr. Macdonald into the Conservative
camp, young Whitney followed the
distinguished statesman and actively
identified himself with --the fortunes
of the Conservative party.
Enters Public Life
In 1876 he was called to the bar,
and began the practice of law at Mor-
risburg. He was made a Q.C. in 1890.
It was in the general election of
1886 that Mr. Whitney was first ten-
dered the Conservative nomination
for Dundas. He came within 25 votes
of defeating the government t c ndi•date
and a protest and bye -election
followed in which Mr. Whitney
achieved his first political success.
He was returned at every succeeding
election.
After he had been nine years in
the Legislature, ' Mr. Whitney was
acknowledged to be in the front ranks
of the Conservatives. A vacancy
having occurred in the leadership, he
was in 1896 unanimously selected to
lead the Opposition.
As leader of the Opposition, Mr.
Whitney soon proved himself a strong
and a growing Man.
Becomes Premier
February, 1906, saw him as head of
a victorious party, and returned by
an overwhelming vote as Premier of
Ontario, After accepting the control
of the destinies of Ontario Sir James
demonstrated his remarkable insight
into public affairs in many instances
and throughout maintained the same
steadfast honesty and tenacity of
purpose that characterized his whole
political life.
At the Quebec Tercentenary Cele-
bration in 1908, he was knighted by
King Georgeappreciation in a reciation of his
work as Premier, and his untiring
zeal in working for a greater Domin-
ion as a part of a worldwide Empire
Federation. In the Fenian Raid of
1866, Sir James was among the first
to volunteer, and continued on ac-
tive
ser r five vice fo months .
A man of the strictest integrity, of
a clean personal life with high ideals
of public duty and with a genial and
good-natured disposition, endearing
him to a large circle of personal
;friends, Ontario has lost in Sir James
Whitney a worthy citizen in the with
est application of tho torn,.
Funeral Arrangements
