Death of John Pugsley.
On the 26th of April there passed
away in Wingham, another of Beet
Wawanoeb, in the person of Mr. John
Pugsley, in his eighty-eighth year.
He was born in Devonshire, Eng --
land, coming to Cabad& at the age of
19 years. Ile settled near Caledonia,
and two years later he married Mise
Frances Jones, of Brantford, a Bret
cousin of Judge Jailer, of Brantford.
After his marriage he lived near the
village of Ancaster, and from there he
moved to Emit Wawanosh where he
spent the greater part of his life.
About four years after the death of
his wife he moved to Wingham where
he spent his remaining years. He was
a staunch Conservative.
He leaves to mourn his loss, elght
daughters and one son. The funeral
was largely attended, the remains be-
ing taken to Deacon's cemetery for
interment. The family have the sym-
pathy of the community in thele time
of bereavement.
Sacrament was; held here on Sunday
morning.
Mr, and tire, Thome' McMieheel
spent last Sunday with Mr. and hire
Wtn. Cathere of the B. Line, Sowick..
?Jr, and Mre. Russell Battle of the
B. Line, called on Mr. and Mrs. Albert
eialleher, last Sunday.**

Wa are $lad to `report that Mrs.
John McBurney is able to be around
after her animation.
We readily respond to the request
of The Salvation Army's local repre-
sentative to draw the attention of our
readers to the Week of Self•Danial
which commences on Sunday, May
'2nd. This Annual Appeal is certainly
a remarkable illustration of what
zeal and system can accomplish. A
great deal of the Army's success is
due to this yearly effort to raise
funds to carry on its good works of
mercy, and to extend its operations
where most needed. We Sincerely
hope that friends and admirers in
our midst of this great body cf work -
ere will liberally give towards the
support of its Christ -like labours.
to is noticeable that in a very short
time The Army has developed a moat
extensive missionary organization.
Its evangelistic efforts have reached
all continents. Its work in India is
quite unique, and nothing short of
miraculous. An astonishing success
has been met with by The Army in
Korea, and in varying degrees in
South Africa, Japan, and Java, and
among other aboriginal people The
Army has adopted methods that are
likely to bring distinct success.: The
Canadian wing embraces a number
of Social Institutions Which must be
as asset to the country.
'..A huge movement of this descrip.
tion cannot be carried on, of course,
without a great deal of money, and
we venture to hope the effort will
meet with the success it deserver',

direct, or to the Editor.

THE HUNS SCREAMED.
Canadian Soldier Describes the Effect
of a Bayonet Charge.
I3ow the Crnadiaz troops captured
a trench, as mentioned in a recent
despatch from Sir John French is
told by.Corpl. William Bowlt, of the
Princess Patricia'a Canadian Light
Infaitry,in a letter to his parents at
West Hartlepool,
"On the last day of February," be
writes, "just before dawn, our coin-
pany was ordered to attempt to force
one of the German trenches.
"As' we climbe'. over the parapet
the enemy, by means of their mag-
desiuni flares, spotted us, and imme-
iately opened upor. us a withering
macliine gun 'fire.
"We lost men—some of my best,
friends and domrades — but on we
kept plodding through�a quagmire of
mud, and when we jumped over the
enemy's parapet into theii• trench we
had to tramp over dead men:
"The rest of the Huns, afraid of
the cold steel, fled screaming like
children or went flown on their knees
and begged former -by. This, in trite
British fashion, Was granted them. '
"I dq not think I could fully de-
scribe the scene --- it was awful,,
though successful. In the "captured
trench we discovered plenty of food
area clothing, and also some patent
hand warmers, wbich in itself is sig-
nificant of -the •fact that they are
faith¢ cqul'tortablez. s .
' " Thelrrtrenhes. are madd•for tom -
.fort, and it makes them very Cdrt lege'
about. flghtin,; positions."
"We have had a very exciting
ziforning," says a !otter from an offi-
cer at the front. "Three of us were
sitting here quietly, both windows
open; and the. sun shining in, having
our breakfast.
"We were laughing and talking,
and feeling how peaceful it was, even
though only a mile, if that. from' the
firing line, when I heard a peculiar
squishing, whistling noise. I saw
nothing, but looker:. closely out of the
window. There wa.a no bang, and I
felt my,thoughts wer3 wrong and my
ears had played me a trieir. I glanced
round at zny blankets on the „floor
and my letters an sundry things on
a little table, and debated how mush
I could move of them. I then went
on with my breakfast, and we were
all talking and chatting when we
heard. a Ioud "swish, swish." Our
conversation stopped, we looked at
each other, and 'we all bent our heads
close in and hunched our shoulders.
Not fifty yards away a puff. of black
smoke was seen. 1 war sitting near-
est the window ana'called out, 'There
it is;' and bang; it burst with a tre-
mendous noise, and a rain of shrap-
nel came from across the road.
"The dead silence and the whist-
ling of the shell only occupied the
space of perhaps ten seconds, if that,
but it seemed minutes. It was so
totally unexpecte::. It was not at all
pleasant. It was dead in line with
us, and only fifty yams: away. We
sat down again, and bad not been
seated one minute when there came
the well-known sound and another
broke on our left, near some then
working. The libel: were all scatter-
ing about everywl'ero,"

A Final Word AboutT
that "Turning By-law"
111111111111111110411111111111111110
0111110010111
In last week's Advance we sande the suggestion the* the
fanners who would be intown on Saturday "try out" the turn,
ing by-law.
Many farmers were in town, particularly in the evening,
and it did not take them long to discover that the !arse "go as
you please" way was in vogue, and as no attempt whatever was
made or has been made to enforce the by-law, we may safely
come to the conclusion that• the council have no iutentiole of
making? any by-law that would be detrimental to the best inter -
este of all concerned.
Did you figure out that IOe remark?
We figured it out as follows;
6 good LONG turns (we Say LONG so that you would not
get dizzy) could easily be made in five minutes IOo
12 times per hour 81.20 .
10 hours per day $12.00
300 days at $12 per day $3600 per hour
The last record of Wingham's population was 2628 and we
know of 2625 persons in town who will take the job next Mon-
day morning if some one will pot up the price.
Now if the council would pass a by-law limiting the speed
of outos and motorcycles on Main street we might find some
chance of being happy. (leo chance ? Too much automobile
"interests" in council") By this we do not wish to infer for
one moment that the average autoist takes any liberties with
our splendid road for
While Henry and Clare

We intended to say a few words about that "Scrap of pap-
er" this week but we will refrain excepting to say that this is
not the "Scrap of Paper" which England and her AIlies and al,
so Germany signed at "The Hague Convention" -and which
Germany has so flagrantly violated. The "Scrap of Paper" we
spoke of refers to
