G, Rintoul and on the executive. Practically every student was present which shows the great interest taken in these fortnightly meetings which, as well as being a source of amusement and education for the audience, afford a splendid training for those who take part. The musical part of the programme -consisted of selections by the Harmon- ic Bend, under the leadership of W. Wallace, choruses by the Glee Club and instrtimentale by Misses Petrie and Nicholls. One of the features of the Literary part was the debate. A new system was inaugaurated last year by which arrangements were made for later•- formidebater. A ecbtdule is drawn. up by which each form, though its elected represettativee, contest against the other forms fon'.prize. The prize is a large valuable picture given by the teachers last year, and will con- tinue to remain the prize for the an- nual inter form debate. This picture Was won last term by second form, re- presented by Mise J. Johnston and 0. McLean, Miss F. Baines and A. Henry, Miss. N. Hibbert and T. Armstrong, The first debate of this year's series was held at last weeks meeting be- tween 3rd senior, represented by Mies Annie Wilson and Chesley McLean, and 4th form represented by Mies Oneida Irwin and Victor Jt.hnbton. The very appropriate sul•ject, "Re• solved that it is an advantage to the Britieh Empire to have her Dominions dcattered." was rtliciently handled by both sides, but resulted in a victory for 2rd senior who supported .the at' Srmative. Third form has made a gcod start toward winning the oovet- ed prize, and if it is finally successful in winning the prizs, the honor will be largely due to Mies A. Wilson and C. McLean who have shown themselves worthy of the trust placed in them. Our Literary Society is to be con. gratulated on having such a capable prophet, as it has in the person of Mr.. Alex, B. Henry. This' <!lice is probably the meet difficult one in the whole society to fill and rt quires much imaginative ability and intuitive tact, but Mr. Henry has, on his several ap- pearances on the platform, shown he posseeses both these essentials. At the meeting on Thursday even- ing his first move was to hypnotize his audience by his impressive looks and gesture, and then to lead them away off to 1043 when a Qoadtopro- centennial Exposition was in progress is Bluesa'e City under the directc r• ship of Mr. Leonard Robinson and Mr. Geo. Tait. sant as indeed our memories will be, Therefore we ask you to accept this gift as a token of our regard and es- teem. When you are far away in the Celestial Empire, remember that many students are wiebing you the fullest success and praying that God's richest blessing may ever abide with you, On debalf of the High School. Signed, A. G. Rintoul, Pres,; Mise N. Hibbert, A, 13, Henry. Don't forget the High School con- cert in the Opera Hall on Dec. 22nd. Vividly he pictured the tube rail- way, th3 overheat railway, the pass senger aeroplane?, the 703 feet towers and last but not least, tremendous crowds which had gathered from all parts of the globs to view the wonders of Bluevale. He described the ttcaten- dous cheering fram millions of throats that greeted the vete' goo of the war of 1914 as they paraded in front of the grand stand under the leadership pf Major General, the Hon. dames Adam M1aoBurney, 0, of N. 0. Also the point was made clear that if the Ger- mane, had been as good marksmen as Docksley, few of these men wou'd have ever seen Bluevale, He dwelt at Midway length on the wonders theafy with the man with the perfect capac- ity, as the main feature, and on the different meetings of the great indust• tial men of Canada, with Mr, Nurnrau Stonehouse, as chairman of the Ce- ment Trust, calling for nomination for cuapidore. But space will not 'al low us to dwell even brit fly on his rrematks, but the prolonged applause, which ensued after he had finfehed, showed how much bis audience ap- preciated his work, • The Journal is a complete success under the capable editorship of James Adam McBurney and expresses its, ogetomalr•y quiet humour, and pulls oif ttti Will hits. • t'"Aitch"adow was east over the meeting wh'en'ttt its close it was toadr"public fhat'Miss F. y.

Canadian Contigent, Bulford Camp, Salisbury Plain, Eng. Nov. 25th 1014. To the Editor of the "Wingbam Ad. vanes". Dear Sit : I take the liberty of writing to you to ask you if you could inform me whether there are any men from Wingham in the 9,b, 10 h, ]Ith or 12•.h Battalions forming the 4th Brig- ade, Canadian Contigent, and if so, what are their narnes as I wou'd like to call on them with a veiw of form- ing their t,quaintance. You may perhaps know the names of all the Volunteers from Wiogham and perhaps I may even know some of them personally. I should he very glad to meet them and talk over our old town affairs with them, as it seems a little Ionesome sometimee, without anyone from one's home town to speak to, I am away with another Provincial Batt, instead of being with one from good old Ouiario, I am sorry to say but what°' the odds so long as one is doing his little bit. - We are now it bag. ort aititeleur Plain, drilling our heads off almot t y pry day interspersed with route marching and gymnastieiand so being prepared t o take our place at the front when it comer our turn to go. This is certainly one big camp alright. I should judge there are over a hundred thousand men in and around Bulford. I have never seen such numbers of soldiers before and I have been in some large military stations too. On my way on pass the last week, I passed through the town of Newberry, which I believe is in Berkshire and they have €large camp on the race- course, in which are interned a great many Germane. They seemed to be very happy and contented judging by the way they danced and waved tneir at ins to us in the train. At anyrate they seemed to be better off than we were when we first came ti Salisbury Plain and were pitchfotk• ed into tents and mud, I see I have transgressed a strict rule of editors by writing on both sides of my paper but I hope you will pardon me for not thinking of tbat rule. Thanking you dear sir in antici- pation of the list of names 1 have ask- ed you for, 1 remain, sincerely. Signaller. • The following is a let'er received by Mr. Chester Copeland from his hr, ther and kindly loaned to the Advance. Bustard camp, Nov. 10, 1014 Hear Brothel ;— pored your Letter of Oct.2$th to day Was indeed pleased to hear from you es the lent word f had from you was in Valcartier, You asked me to t 11 you something of our I fa on Salisbury Plains so I will try in this letter to give you a, blight idea, of bow we soldiers live here. s Up to the present time we are under canere. At this time of the year this may seem Etrat•ge but the huts for winter are not yet ready for us. There are such a number of us to be quarter- ed that the nuwher of buts to be built is very great. I would like to give a. e' built but •' t'o of the huts being 1 descttp ion g as I have not seen any myself I cannot so oblige you. However we are very comfortable as yet. We do not feel the cold at nights very much for the climate though damp is much warmer tban that of Ontario.

The food is cook• od by a coal fire made in narrow trenches about a foot deep, We use large, ttrorg tin buckets called Melee' in which to co.pk thls f pod. Tae meat can only be boiled and roast bet he- pork rpotk is an recite sty tenger to us.

When the weather is fine we go .through as much training as possible and in every way try to fit ourselves for to help our mother coun- try in this, the greatest struggle of history, We'go on long route march- es carrying everything we would use in active service. We have taken some lessons in the use of the bayonet") This is very essential and we believe we will not be behind our Euglish brothers in the use of the cold steel. One thing I must not forget to men- tion is the Y. M. C. A. We soldiers are indeed greatly indebted to this aeeociation. They were with us at Valcartier and assisted in making life as pleasant as possible. They also have a branch here. One largo tent they use for concerts and another as a coffee bar. In one end of the concert tent they have chairs and tables on which is a liberal eupply of pens, ink and paper. Here we do most of our writing and as you may guees we epend most of our spare time. English money bothered us for a time but we are getting used to it now. Sweets are much cheaper• here than in Canada. Cakes and tea too is very cheap and if we feel that our rations hese not sari€fled our hunger or we want a lunch through the day we have simply to vi,:it the cantetie and ter a entail sum we satisfy our inner ura.n. Remember me to all my friends and give my hest wishes to all who are kind enough to ask. Love to mother and the rest of thefolke. Bye-bye for now.

Ten days ago our officiate and citi- aA :.. hnr. thee zeas wotlrci st y. rc.:at trha+cap teseit-ss.• ... believed the L'quor Act was being well kept but on Wednesday of last week each of the five -hotel keepers were charged with an infringement of the law and ordered to appear in court on Friday. Two 'spotters' had ben in town two months- ago and had taken samples of Local Option Beer from Lr.paed's, Putland's and Sshaefer's, had them sent to Toronto where they were analyzed and found too strong Each of these were as- sessed $100 and costs. Shaw of the National had purchased cider at the milt here and theere'spotters' took a sample of it within two days of .the time it was made and by the time they escorted it to Toronto 'Lo and Behold' it showed over 11 per cent. alcohol, This was thrown out by His Worship. Mr. Swans was selling cider from the Dominion Cider Co. and it was also too strong. His case was adjourned along with those from Blyth and Brussels until next Friday. We have no desire at the present juncture to criticise the Government, whom we believe have an eye siogle to law euforcement without fear or favor; nor his Worship, Police Magie- tratte Mw ton whom we believe decides according to his best judgement on the evidence laid before him. However the Advance believes a raw, rank deal has been pulled off whether or not the fault lies in legis- lation, lack of legielation, administra- tion, system, or all four combined: We were told during the Scott 'Act Campaign that if intoxicants" were ell ,mated from the bar that hotel keep- ing wou'd he a most resp-ctable occu- pation, and yet there are men in eine midst who put on that "tattier !theta thou";jemeiener, who evidently want to houud'them to the very grave, Qoe man was connected with lipepi_ ed hotels for forty years and never was in tour t, after losing his license he ran a temperance house and was fined $1100 and costs for selling tem- perance beer labeled such, The day after the court he shipped back every battle and cannot take a chance any. more on selling lagerine orttmperar.ee Neer for if it was again taken in a my.ter ions manner by these mysteri- ous.

Germany How German Rejoiced When the Borden Naval Afd Bill Was Killed Those who might be inclined towdoubtbtthe accuracy of the statement that the Liberal Senate, when, at Sir Wilfrid Laurier's dictation, it killed the Borden Naval Aid Bill, committed an act intensely pleasing to Germany, will not doubt any longer after reading the following extract taken from one of Germany'e leading daily newepapers. It proves conclusively that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in so directing hie henchmen iu the Senate, was doing the very thing which Germany hoped for. How far this act was responsible for the precipi- tation of the present terrible conflict may never be known, but it must be ad- mitted it had some effect. Tho action of Laurier and hie Senate was to Ger- many convincing evidence of the dieiotegration of the "Empire. The psycho- logical moment, in the opinion of Germany, had arrived when England might be attacked without fear of any assistance from her colonies. Fortunately, Germany was quite as much in error as Sir Wilfrid L•tur- ier when he declared the independence of Canada was the aspiration of Can- adians, and that Canada would break the Imperial bonds "as a ripe apple falls from the parent tree." The following extract is taken from the "Hamburger Nachrichten" of June 5, 1913, one of the leading German daily papers ;— "The much discussed Navy Bill of the Canadian . • Prime Minister, Mr. Borden, demanding seven million pounds for the construction of three battle ships to be added to the British fleet was refused on Friday last by the Senate in Ottawa with fifty-one against twenty-seven votes, after it bad been passed in the Canadian Parliament with a majority of thirty-three votes on May 16111. Wo still remember the long excited discussions that preceded the decision of the Commons, which prove at any rate that a very considerable part of the Canadian people does not want to have anything to do with such a present." "The intention of the Conservatives is to produce a tlovr union between the great Colonic s and the Motherland by el creating,an imperial fleet. The Liberals, on the other hand, prefs r a more independent development of the colonies, allow - inn therm to settle their own affairs themselves, and to be un- ited with the Mother Country only by the bonds of relation- ship and common interests. Therefore, they want to build a special Canadian fleet which will be at the disposal of the Mother Country only when the Government expressly de- cides upon doing so." "Whatever may be decide.: upon later, the actual de- cision of the Canadian Senate means, at any rate, a heavy moral and material loos for the defence of the Empire, for Mr. B ,rden'a promise had been, foolishly enough, counted on. His offer made an enormous impression in the whole world. Mr. Churchill pointed out this fact especially in the well - z eeereandum of the admirality. This impression will now ,`» ^ th 1t people will everywhere obtain • nnot only b�e"Zt'1!S'llree��. �,cw,n,a„. „ ,„ much help the conviction that Eogland cannot ue , from her colonies." The writer in the "Nachrichten" then quotes, with undisguised approval, the opinion of the London "Morning Post," which, commenting upon the act - tion of the Canadian Senate, said :— "By rivals and enemies the decision will be eagerly wel- comed. By friends it will be regarded as ominous. The im- pression must be invariably created that the solidarity of the Empire is a myth, and that those powers which Would like to . see the overthrow of Britit%; Naval Supremacy need not be discouraged, in their efforts'by the thought that their challenge would be met by the united resources of the Mother Country and of every one of the Daughter States." .Upon reading the above there can no longer be any doubt but that The aid withheld . from Britain ,was so much aid given to Germany. �()• 'Local 'items `(j{ \/V'V NAM/W V \/w�MM/v�•M V W Miss Chidley, Clinton, is supplying at the High` School in place of Mies Cooper who has resigned.
