The Wingham Advance, 1915-08-05, Page 4Page Four C ` jc Gainobam 1b ante Jou JOYNT, Proprietor A. G, SMITH, Managing Editor THURSDAY, AUG. 5tb, 1915 Meanwhile the Italians are - A.0 gain- ing fresh victories over the s trians and are pushing their way towards Trieste. The. Allies will win --but not without strong support in men and money. What are you doing to help win the victory? Liberal newspapers continue to press for a statement that there will be no general election while the war lasts. The fear of the Liberals of `an election is almost pathetic. Sir Robert Borden is bearing his honors for Canada with all the modesty that was to be expected. His speech upon Imperialism and Canada's part in the war, made at London on the occasion of the city's freedom being extended to slim, was'one after the heart of the heart of the Canadian people whom he represents. The Krupp Works are engaged in constructing a new pattern of cannon, designed to hurl big charges of burning material, the "projectile" constituting a burst of flame. The new "war terror" was recently inspected by the Kaiser and the German staff, and is, therefore, believed to be nearly ready for active employment in the field. Manitoba Elections. Friday, August 6th, is the date of the Manitoba elections. A-11 the seats will be contested. The new Conservative leader, Sir Jas. Aitkind and his lieutenant, W. H. Sharpe, are both men of great ability and integrity. Hon. T. C. Norris will again lead the Liberal forces. The results will be await- ed with keen interest throughout Canada. Liberal Paper Pays Tribute To Government. Liberal journals are beginning to recognize that a higher standard in the country's administration has been reached through the courage- ous policy of Sir Robert Borden of demanding and insisting that hon- est and honorable service must.,be rendered the Government. The Free Press, the Liberal organ in the Capital, pays this tribute to the Government's honest administra- tion:- 1'But more important than these results is the warning which has been given to avari- cious dealers that they cannot offend and enjoy immunity. The commercial community of Canada knows that in the mat- ter of war supplies the Govern- ment must be fairly dealt with or punishment will follow." The Blockers' Brigade passed away with the Laurier Adminis- iiration. Honest service is now demanded, through investigation permitted and encouraged, and restitution and punishment follows proof of exorbitant charges or , fraudulent work. One Year At War, • Thirteen months ago tin the 28th day of June, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand was, assaesinabecl. I?'rom that date events moved quichly, On August 4th, England sent an ultimatum demanding the ob- servance of the neutrality of Belgium by Germany, which that Country rejected and next clay England announced a state of war with Germany. The United States at the same time proclaimed her neutrality and it now seems as though by a long series ofnn- friendly acts," culminating in the sinking of the Lusitania, Uncle Sam's patience has been exhausted and "diplomatic" relations" will be severed with the Huns, and probably war declared. The pre- cipitation of the United States into the war at this juncture would not, at once, greatly assist the Allies, it is said. It is true that our neigh- bors have a great navy and the confiscation of all German ships now "bottled up" in American harbors, would be a serious blow to the enemy. It goes without saying that a country with a hun- dred million population, even if it has no large standing army at pre- sent could very shortly equip, train, and transport, an immense fighting force. President Wilson's last note to Germany is very much like an ultimatum. It has been a sonrce of much gratification to the Allies to know that while the American Republic has been"dip- lomatically" neutral, its great newspapers, which reflect the spirit of the nation have been open. ly and unequivocally on the side of freedom and against the aims and machinations of Prussian mili- tarism. "Vinci Amor Patriae." "The ir's no visions of glary, their's no dreams of fame; Their's but to do and die like men for England's sacred name." What the longbow did at Agincourt, "Brown Bess" at Waterloo, That can the short Lee -Enfield, the eighteen -pounder do; As the broadsword flashed at Flodden Field and glittered at Dunbar, As the booming cannon, breathing smoke, belched fire at Trafalgar, So can the gleaming long "white arm" drip blood beneath each thrust, While across the seas each whisper- ing breeze tells England's cause is just. As the men of Devon swept the seas and struck at the heart of Spain, That the winds should ever fly our . flag, unsullied by a stain, As on the night when Albion's cliffs blazed up in warning fires. • And the English seamen earnt a flame unchallenged by their sires— So now upon the wild North Sea, on seething rollers hurled, The ships of grey watch day by day the honor of the world, As the long unbending lines swept on to death at Oudenarde, As the scarlet squares stood staunch and broke the charge of the grand Old Guard, • As the horsemen rode through hell in Balaclava's valley grim, With a cheer for the "Little Mother," and their simple trust in Him— So will the khaki Tommy now from city desk and farm Give life, give all, at duty's call, keep England's homes from harm. pal ea.= oft Bluevale.

John Brooks this week, PATRIOTIC FUND The following letter was received by the Executive of the Huron .County Branch of the Patriotic Fund, and is by them submited to the people of this Bounty through the local press. The appeal speaks for itself and should call forth a response from all those places in the County which have not yet sent any contributions to the Patriotie Fund. We are now drawing from that Fund over $1,000 per month to meet tha allowances made to the families of soldiers who have enlisted from this County and there will be a continual increase of other men enlisting,Canwe not "clo our bit" still more by further contributions to the General Fund, which, as is shown by the letter, is being so severely taxed? And the end is not yet. • Any contributions intended for this Fund may be sent to our Treaehrer, Mr, Andrew Porter, Goderiob, who will duly acknowledge same and for- ward the amounts to the Executive at Ottawa, By order, J. H. MCCLINTON, Chairman. JAMES MITCHELL, Secretary. (copy of letter) Canadian Patriotic Fund, Ottawa, 23rd. June, 1915, As time goes on and the number of men which Canada ie sending to the front increases, the demands on the Canadian Patriotic Fund constantly grow. This month we shall assist up- wards of 10,000 families at an expendi- ture amounting to nearly $300,000.00. During the summer and early fall we expect this to be still further increased. In looking over what the various counties are doing, I find that while your county grant of $1000 00 a month is being regularly paid, there does not seem to be any money coming in from Huron County as the results of volun- tary subscriptions. During the past few weeks we have received a number of cheques from different parts of Bruce County, where I understand they are holding patriotic meetings and stimulating interest; but from Huron, with the exception of $135.25 from Hensel' received on the 26th. of April, nothing has come in during the past three months. Would it not be possible for your committee to under- take to stimulate interest throughout the County in the Fund? We shall need generous contributions if t h e work is to continued, and I am sure that there must be many people in Huron County who cannot go to the front and who would be willing to pay, being unable to fight. With such a valuable auxiliary as your county press. you ought to be able to work up a splendid campaign. I shall be very glad to here from you on this matter at your early con- venience.

One of the chief characteristics of the Red Cross Society is ,modesty, It shrinks from inflicting its needs upon. the public, It is the bearer of un. pleasant news and it le reluctant to cause pain by a frank revelation of the horrors of war which i4 is endeavour - is alleviate. g to a1 e late. The public in return for this con- cession to its sensibilities, should meet the Red Cross half way. It should have imagination �', nation enough to compre head the pain and suffering which constitute the stern reality behind all Red Cross appeals, Nobody should need to be told that the Red Cross is in need of money and supplies, The perusal of the casualty lists in the newspapers should conjure up in the mind of every thinking man, a vivid picture of an ins rnense need The prize for foolish speech ought to go to the cheerful optimist who assur- es you that the Red Cross have more money and material than thy know what to do with. A shell which occupies ten seconds on its mission can cause destruction which it will take months to patch up let alone care. Tho Red Cross with its clow curative processes is hopelessly outclassed in a competition with these rapid instruments of ruin. The number of its workers are few compared with the millions of men in the field. It never can catch up. There is therefore no man more ridi• culous than tho man who will not give to the Red Cross because he thinks that the armies are not giving them enough work. Every one should respect the Rfd Cross modesty. Don't wait to have your feelings sacrificed by the horrors of war. Do your Red Cross "Bit" and take Sherman's word for it. Cultivation of Flax. "It is only a question of intelligent co-operation between the government, the farmers and flax producers to se- cure a sufficient quantity of flax—the raw material of the linen• trade—in order to make possible the building up of a large and prosperous flax indus- try in the Dominion of Canada. It is simply a question of the production of the raw material and the investment of sufficient capital to manufacture the same into fibres, yarns and linens," Thus spoke Mr. Geo. H. Campbell, President of the Canadian Flax Mills, Limited. at a conference recently held of flax dealers, growers and mill owners at London, Ont. Mr, Camp. bell enlarged upon the importance of the industry, described the cultiva- tion of flax from its sowing to matur- ity, and detailed the process of its manufacture into fibre for commercial purposes. An important point al- luded to was that the climate and soil of Ontario are particularly adapt- ed to fax growing, A report of the proceedings at the conference is em' bodied in an eleven page pamphlet that can be had free by addressing the Publications Branch, , Department of Agriculture Ottawa, and that in addi- tion contains a complete account of a visit to the Demonstration Plant of the Feuillette Retting System at Goderville, France, given in anaddrees by Mr. Albert Durant, Secretary of the French Flax Spinners' Associa- tion. Mr, Durant goes minutely into particulars of the system, detailing the machinery required, the cost in- volved and all the operations necee• eery until the manufactured product is ready to be placed on the market. Mr. James G. Crawford, the transla- tor, in a foot note at the end, remarks: "It must be borne in mind that the high price of $29 per ton for the flax represents first-class straw saved in good condition, but the same straw badly saved might not fetch $9 per ton. Land is dearer and taxes higher in France than in Canada, and all these are elements in the cost. On the other hand labour is cheaper." There is but one deduction to be drawn from the Pamphlet and that the increased production of flax in Canada would prove remunerative. It might be added that the prospects are greatly improved by the existing situation in Europe, Northern France and Belgium having hitherto been the almost monopolistic centres of growth and manufacture.

'Ilse printer -man growls in hie lair, a picture of frenzied despair; he sobs and he sighs, and utters strange cries, and waves both his arms in the air. He mutters, "Great Scott, but it's punk! Oh, why must I tackle such junk! I'll wager a hat no copy like that would come from old Jocko the monk. An elephant up at a zoo could hand out a pointer or two to some of the chaps who sent in these maps, alt scrawly and blurred and askew. The letters have hip -joint disease.

As angry as any wet hen, he looks at the copy again, to see if scene light may break on his sight from regions be- yond human ken. But once more his hope is in vain --no message will come to explain the crosses and curls, the twiddles and twirls which worry his overwrought brain. Yet if one small twist he should miss, he'll hear all about it, I wis; the man who thus wrote will Beek for his goat. and send in a letter like this: "Some foolish and ignorant chump for where I wrote Perry put Pump; the man who will make this sort of mistake, should land in the street with a bump, He hasn't a shade of excuse.

You'd see by last week's Advance, That a poet accepted the chance, Of placing his name, Higher in fame, Than Kitchener's army in France. I'm sure his effort you'd greet, As a real live poetical treat, 'Twould be simply sublime, If it only would rhyme, It then would be real hard to beat. Besides being a poet he still, Has ten minutes a day for hie mill The wheels are run, By the heat from the sun, And they certainly run with a will. He has a machine to cut rails, And gats wood by cleaning up swalee, And he has a machine, That will thresh "Paris green," Which saves them from threshing by flails. He pastures his team on the road, And. they can't haul a very large load, One's brown and one's bay, And they won't run away, And they'll stand till the harness is sewed. Now who can this wipe poet be? You surely can't blame it on me, For ho sits up at night, And he thinks he can write, Some "stuff" which he calls Poetry.
