The New Era hopes to see this platter' taken up at next Monday's council meeting, and that in the near future, a group picture of the o'tticers of the 161st Huron Battalion, and one of the.men, also placed on the walls of the Council Chamber, The gallantry of gur Boys is indeed worthy of this small act of the Council. 9 v • WITH THIS CHURCHES, • w � Baptist Church Pte.

Instances were cited of the. good work where soldiers returningto all intents and purposes totally isabled, were now earning good wages in fac- tories, etc. His work was intended to make the returning men not only use- ful citizens but also to make them feel independent of charity, or any resem- blance of it, and to restore their self confidence.

Any returned soldier, wishing any information of thi; nature, should drop a card giving his mune, regimental number, date of dis- charge and place of discharge to A.

NOTED MUSICIAN RETURNS FROM GERMAN PRISON .CAMP Dr. Ernest MacMillan Tens of 1 -lis l Interesting Experiences at luh- lehen and of Work Accomplish- ed There., • (Toronto Globe) To spend the entire period of the great*ear in aGerman Priso t camp within a car ride to the centre of Berlin was the lot that fell to Dr. Ern- est MacMillan, son of Rev. Alex. Mac- Millan of 382 Spading road, who has • now arrived in Toronto rejoicing in his freedom, While the experience 1 was not of an exciting character, and the four years were spent far from the zoite of battle, Dr, MacMillan had a unique story to tell to a representa- tive of the Globe in the course of an interview last evening. His story began back in June, ' 1914, when he went to Paris as a ivery young man, to continue his studies in. the , tart. of music. lf, he I had not been' attracted by the alag- ner Festival at Bayreuth in Germany a month later, he would have now had a different story to tell. At the end of July he tools a week's trip to Germany to attend this festival of music, which Nes so inharmoniously broken up by the.Wagned-like oratorio started by tite Kaiser, Krupp .and Hin- denburg, which bursteintofull chorus on the fateful August the ;4th, and continued. without inttlJflhission until the composers were discredited and the song of victory and peace took its place, Could Get No Money "Why did you not get out- of Ger- many at once when war was (feeler - ed?" sked The Globe, , • . Fi r one thingwas outof toticll 1 with the outside wiirld, and could get no money. i never thought 1 flirt would be held up so long," replied Dr. MacMillan. "I went to Nurem- burg and found they were rounding up the English, and 1 was advised by the American Consul to wait till 1 could get a pass into Holland. I just waited for something to happen." "What did happen?" "I was arrested for not reporting, and given two months mid costs. I didn't knots I had to report. The po- lice did not take any notice of me, although they had my papers, lime a suspicion that the police didn't know where Canada was; they must have re- garded it merely as part of America. i was sentenced to solitary confine- ment tor nine weeks. After this I leas taken to the prison camp at Ruhleben, near Berlin, and was there till two weeks after the armistice was signed." Imprisoned On Racecourse The camp was situated on a race- course, and at first contained a- bout 4,000 men, who lived in the horse boxes, Dr. MacMillan said he slept on a board in one of the lofts with a sack of straw and one blanket. At first there was no heating, to means of getting hot water, and no place for exercise. They were fed mostly on soupS with vegetables and bits of meat floating around in them, This diet, which the doctor would not admit was unpalatable, was acceptable to hungry men. Some days they got rice and prunes, with prunes few and fan' between. "After n lime we got things fixed , up for ourselves. .A sports groulid was rented with British motley from the Owners of the race -course, also a plot of land to grow vegetables. Then we started Beat c theatre.

Farming long the 1•:isic industry of our country, upon which all others depend, it was felt that very generous measures must be adopted to Induce the boys to get back to the land, This is made more ap- parent, when the consider the liberal inducement held out in other walks of life. Canada being essentially an agri- cultural country, the lack of labor on tite farms is the most serious obstacle to production that the farmer is up against, and any measure of liberal, bonuses or other inducements, similar to that renclered those wishin- to learn trades or go to school to induce our young sten to settle on farms, will do hatch to restore farnino to normal ct.nditions and help put it where it be- longs as the greatest and most needed of occupations. The resolution, which was moved by Mr. B. W. fe Beavers, of Exeter, and seconded by Mr. Jas. A. Ford, of Clin- ton, is as follows: "That we the committee of Huron County Council ap Pointed to consider the Soldier's Land.
