The Wingham Advance, 1915-01-28, Page 1•4: D YU4.R ;ATO 18 Of Four Children Born, One Survives, Soy and Two Olds Born on Monday to Mrs. Matthews, Prince Albert,. Are Dead. Prince Albert, Seek., Jan. 12.—Mrs. Ernest A. Matthews, who gave birth to four children yesterday afternoon. at 4. o'clock, three girls and ono boy, has lest three of them. It was thought at first that they would all live, as they appeared quite lively, but late l tat evening-tbe boy and one girl pas. red away. Another of the girls died about noon to -day, thus leaving only one surviving. The three dead child- ren averaged about 3 pounds eanh in weight, while the one that is living, and is apparently thriving, weighs cnly 2 pounds. Statistics show that only three cases of quadruple birth such as this ocour in one million, or one in 371,000 This will probably constitute a record fm western Canada, as it is not recalled that any such has happened in the country previously. Dr. J. Chisholm, of this city, was the physician in charge, and Mrs. Moss, a friend of Mrs. Matthews, acted as•nurse. Dr. Chisbolm says that hie has never before had personal know- ledge of a quadruple birth, though be attended a case in eastern Canada once where three children were born. Mr. and Mrs Matthews been Matthw have e married about 18 months, both having lived most of their lives in the north of England. There was an instance of a twin birth in Mre. Matthew's family, she having a brother and a sister who are twins. .She isa very tall woman, well proportioned. and generally of athletic build. Mr. Matthews is of medium stature. Dr, Chisholm is re- porting the births to the Canadian Medical society. High School Notes The first meeting of the Literary Society field on Thursday afternoon was a decided success.

R J, contusion J A MeL eon e gingham Advance. �omnnunieatlons Mr. Editor ; Dear Sir,—Not wishing to wear laur. ele belonging:l+o other herds, I would thie week beg a little ewe in your valued columns. A goodly number of late, have called nee "onlooker" of the Wingham Advance. While endorsing some of Onlooker's sentiments, there are some so completely different from my own, that to author such to toe,. would be no honor, but rather a re- proach, am now especially refering to Onlooker of last week, 41 am English "yet, know," but me, who loves the land of hie adoption so mucb, that when her veracity is assailed, and her fair name besmirched, would cry down with the traitor, but God Bless Can- ada and the Maple Leaf. Onlooker says, when times are good and wages high, we coax the English to this country, at such times, they need no coaxing, hut flock hither like swallows in the spring -time ; he then adds, but .when times are bad, we leave them like Laz- arus at the gate, which is a mean des- picable lie. If the English comes over when times are good, should they not also bear the brunteas web? of bad tim s Or would they prefer to become para- sites, taking all, hut giving nothing iu return ? If there is a country upon God's beautiful earth, that respoude more freely to the cry of distress, why does not Onlooker and hie friends mig- rate to that beautiful clime? and so. journ with a people,who when timesare dull, will deprive themselves of every comfort, and give to the stranger every luxury, even his beer? He etates that it is the English who are going forth to fight while Canadians simply brag and wave the flag. Canada le cosmopolitan, and extremely so, but after living in Canada a few years, they become Canadians, is going to the front they are E eglieh, but in heart, Canadian, loyal and true, and as for the bragg n; part, if we knew just half as much as those who know it all, we might.belloforth like a bull in the prairie. Lestly he adds that Canada's name will blacken Heaven's scroll, that she is a thing of scorn, and should be a warning to all men as a country that has lost its soul. Poor miserable °mit- els,, theywho will deign live on, to and to associate with those who will blacken Heaven's scroll, those who will become a scorn to the whole world, and to keep on living in a country without any soul. Dear Onlooker, if Canada ie such a God -forsaken country an you pictuie her to be, why do not you and your friends go to sego more congenial clime? But you are a bit nettled, i know, so allow me to offer you an an- adyne, to be taken immediately be- fore pening your next to the Advance: If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, Five thingsobserve ob rve with care • Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, And how, and when, and where. Respectfully yours, Maurice R. Beckwith, On The Defensive. To the editor Dear Sir:—Have been patiently waiting for a more able ecribe to take up his pen in defence of Cana- dian boys attacked by acorrespondent in your paper called Onlooker. A.m a correspondent for nota poet neither any paper, but feel that we must say a few words in defenee of our Canadian boys who enlisted for home defence and the boys who so willingly votuc- P t +red to go abroad to help flKhr for the Mother country w.thout a selfish motive in connection. We do not know what nationality Mr. Onlooker is, but one thing we can be fairly sure of is that he is not a German, neither is he aCanadian or he would not have been throwing Blurs from time to time through your columns at our honest industrious 'Canadian boys who are able and wil- ling to make their way whenever they go, We would however suspect him of being a Briton, if so, why is he not at the front ere this helping to defend his country? Mr. Onlooker appears dissatisfied with the treatment Englishmen re• cetve here. Now we do not know why this should be because Canada is a free country and Englishmen are accorded exactly the same PrVlle gee and opportunities as Canadians. Now we are not inclined to grumble with- out suftleient reason, but when we think of our Canadian boys, who are clothed and fed by the Canadian errs- ernment and who have been selected for their pet feet health and excellent physique, having been kept for the last three months in a place where mud and water le knee deep, such con. •ditlons having caueed a mortality lint of nearly sixty, tvhen there should not bbseartely any death rateamong men of the above type if kept under proper condition's. Knowing this to be the case we think we hare ample reason to feel ditrsatltfed, A Canadian Brest, Potatoes and Soup given away free to anyfamilies itt need, every Tuesday and Thursday at T. WINGIL&M, { ►N' ., TatiltSDAY JANUARY 2$ 1915.. The Call To Young Canada, The response to the call for men for the third contingent in aural Ontario, and Qnebec oleo, according to deepen ohen, has,proved enrely dtsappointiag to the regi uiting oflicere. They have been engaged for almost three wee-ke, in obtaining men, and in not a. few mass the results have been fuck as to •show that the call of the Empire falls upon unheeding, eare. It would al- most seem that outside of the larger centres of population the war is regar- ded as something remote and interest- ing only tie a drama, the action of which may be followed in the daily Press. It is time to wake up. The Empire is fighting a life -mid -death battle, Bruton liberty is in danger. Oanada'e own nation•tl existence is in peril. Wbs,t con.tderatton could be expected in the event .1 a. victory for German militarism, from the moo who burned Louvain, who wrecked Rheims, and who are.now elaving defenceless nono combatants with bombe dropped from the clouds by invisible murderer s. The heal of the corequerer would be heavy upon tee, Our sons would be no longer volauteere but conscripts. And there would be no help from our neighbors to the south, The United States would hardly carelb,,,challenge the might of the Germanic ,powere were they to prove themselves tenon ger than Britian, France and Russia combined. The people of Ontario lack neither courage nor national spirit. Their at- titude is the result, in all probabitity, of a feeling that the Allies are bound to win, and that before the members of the third contingent reach the front the issue will he decided, Upon no other 'hypothesis can the failure to respond to the call for recruits be ac: counted for. In the out-of-town part ef the Second Division, of which Tor- onto is' the headgaurtere, ,truly 215 risen have offered to fill over 900 places in the contingent For Second Drvie- ion, with headquartere at London de- tailed figures show the number called for in various Local centres and the number who responded up to the be- ginning of the present week as fol - !owe: "33rd Battalion—London, quota 250, Jen. 19, recruits 206; Wiodeor, 250, Jan. 19, 195; Chatham, 200, Jan, 19. 63; Sc.

What is the remedy ? Clearly there is need for a campaign of education' country 'res information The c yragw as to the causes of the war, the iesues in- volved, and the pressing need for men. The memhere of parliament should be buk y night afterter night in their con. stitueneiies, and at convenient centres, wherever audiences from the town- ships can be gathered, public men of Prominence like Sir Robert Borden, Sir Wilf.11 Laurier, Sir George Fos- ter, Premier Hearst and Mr. Rowell should he invited to speak to the peo- ple. The recruiting figures shduld put an end to party strife in Canada. Everyman who can help to stir the public pulse and rouse the public con- science should be about his country's husiuesta instead of mending his party fences. The call comer; clearest to young Canada. In the fight for free. doom, the Dominion turns ro him confident that he will not hear un. proved the cry, "Your King and coup. try need you."—Globo E,Iitorial, of Saturday, Jan. Horse Fair Notice.

Canada's Financial Position Alihough the war has entailed on Canada an enormous military expendi- ture, with decreased custom returns, yet such is our financial position that our capital expenditure on public works has not been decreased. While Canada is at war, yet our great nat- ional undertakings are being carried on with a vigour equal to that in the days of peace, To be able to carry out such an exteneive policy of public works under the preeent conditions speaks wonders for our financial posi- tion and adminietration. Great harbour works are being built, the Hudson's Bay Railway and its out- let at Port Nelson are being rushed to co Repletion, On the Great Lakes, At- lantic and Pueifle all our great nation- al undertakings are under way with the same force as when peace ruled the world's money markets were open, Inland, our system or grain storage, as well as those at the meet, are rapidly nearing completion.

A large and most enthusiastic audi- ence filled to its utmost capacity the spacious Foresters' Hall on Wednes- day evening, Jan, 20th, to enjoy the splendid p program arranged by the Patriotic League in aid of the Red Cross Work. The concert throughout was of .a high class order and one of the best ever given in Belgrave. The hall was artistically decorated, red, white and blue bunting being beautifully festooned from walls and ceiling, while scores of flags lent gay color to the scene. Mrs. D. Scott, Mrs. Brandon, Mrs. (Dr.) Stewart, Mies Wightman, Mfio Johnston and Mies Brydges in theuniform of Red Cross nurse. made moat efficient ushers, While Mr. Sam Jordan, Mr. D. Scott 4utd Mr. Sandy Stewart looked after the tickets, Their soldier uniforms added much to the military appear- ance. Dr. Stewart, who had returned for the occasion, gave the opening address and was accorded' a hearty welcome as he came upon the platform. The program which consisted of twenty three numbers was given in two parts. Mies MItchell ofi W n ham in a g , pretty gown of shell pink satin with swansdown trimmings, charmed the audience in the rendering of "Native Born" and the "Whistling Regiment.' Miss Duff of Bluevale, wearing a dainty frock of cream marguisette,. sang "Jeseiee' Dream" and "Your King and country needs you," which were very much appreciated. Mr, Pipe of London delighted hie audience with "For King and Coun- try", Robbie McGregor gave several of Lauders humor ous.scotch songs. Mr. Pipe will be welcome to BeI- grave again. Mr. Maitland Henry, always a favor- ite in Belgrave, was in splendid voice and sang, "We'll Never let the Old Flag Fall," and by request "Asleep in the Deep" responding generously to each encore. •Mr. Wilford of Wingham, who is not a stranger to a Belgrave audience• sang in bis usual good style, "Heroes and Gentlemen" and Sons of the Sea." Mr. Wilford was ably accompanied by Miss Griffin, also of Wingham, who wore coral -pink silk and lace. A splendid feature of the program was the Red Cross Drill, given by fif. teen ladies in the uniform of the Red Cross Nurse, and in response to the hearty applause, sixteen young ladies in middy and sailor caps, gave a Sail. or'a Drill which delighted everyone. The Belgrave orchestra and also the quartette who have now a name for themselves in the past, deserve special mention on ibis occasion as among the beat numbers on the program. The Tableau "Tent.ing To -night" was aisles. very popular number, the fire before the open tent, and the soldiers recruiting about it. Rifles stacked and sentry's on duty, seemed very real indeed, In addition to the above the follow- ing readings were given : Miss Imlay—"Our bit of the thin red line " Miss Harrison—"A Scene from the Sunny South." Rev. Mr. Boyle--"Half-past Ten." Rev. Mr. Kilpatrick—"The Revenge., Mr. Neil McRae—"The Last Redoubt.'• All were listened to with pleasure and most heartily applauded.
