Days come and go,and it is about the same one day as another. On Sunday there is church for an boor, but often one is busy !'watch keeping" and does not even get there. In the middle of the night, when all the hammocks are. strung fes thick as they can swing and none but the police lights are burning the wireless room door begins to slam and before long a beads bobs up along side you, and with a gentle shake,. says, "First watch below at once. We are,goiog to sea," You scramble out and slip on your boots and, go blinking along to thee ba th where your work -clothes are, and find a heifdocer sleepy andaal u le hustling into their oveiells and muttering about why their watch always catches OF CANADA the "lighting up watch."

Enough of this, for the sea has claimed too many unwary men already. so down to warm air you go and take refuge from the wind and the waves. hat the No marten wweather is,one feels quite safe below decks. 11 may roll and pitch thirty degrees or more hut it is quite all right, for we are a lucky ship, and I never feel sick or nervous. As the open sea is reached you soon know it by looking about .you, if by nothing else. The "regulars" who are always seasick, have changed their tune and have found a corner in which "to get their head down" as we say. They try to go to sleep .and forget their troubles. Another group are blowiug up swimming collars, much to the amusement of some who from their talk are rank fatalists, and in case we struck a mine couldn't find their "Zeppelins„ in an hour, if at all, Day breaks late in these north ern latitudes, but as the sun seldom shines, one hour of the twenty four is about as good as another. When it does pretend to be daylight, how ever, we are many miles from home. Wepick op a big "tramp" from the States, and find ner cargo contraband After going through her cargo a prize crew is put aboard her, armed to the teeth, with_ revolvers and cutlasses and she is sent into port. Away we steam to pick up our sta tion again, and sight a submarine just finishingher woik of bombinga timb er ship ound for England. We rush over the spot where she disappeared about thirty seconds too late to shear off her conning tower, What rotten luck! We are not ton- late however, to pint up her crew of the unfortun ate ship and save the men from the waves. They are appalled but thank ful for deliverance As one's •life is so uncertain and so often in peril, one need not draw on his imagination at all to count ho r often in a, short space of time he has had a• new lease of life and be duly thankful Our activities are inceasing rather than diminishing and before many days we all expect "the day" or "Der Tag" which the Germans uuwittingly toasted as one of victory to them, "What fools we ,mortals be," With love, Your son, TED. 13.

Will your County be humiliated by having the first Battalion she was authorized to fort go into camp udder strength. ? Will the word "Huron" ever stand as a word of reproach throughout the Empire? Or will the people of this County rally their pride and to their honor ? To The Men, --- 1 i • • • • • • • • 0 • • e • • • • 0 • w • • s • 0 0 1 TI -IE LniST CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS The business of the young men of the County to -day is the completion of the Battalion she was asked to form. Kitchener urges "Men and More Men," Canada has promised him 500,000. Will you be one ? Ar,e you content to remain at home in .ease and reap business advantages while other men take your place in the firing line ? Will your conscience remain clear and clean each day of the long years to corn ? Does the sight of your churn in Khaki leave you untroubled and undisturbed ? Make such sacrifices as may be necessary (the Empire is • worthy of them) to enable you to take your place in your County Battalion. ENLIST and ENLIST TO -DAY, with the knowledge that at last you are playing the part of a MAN. To the Mothers, Wives and Sisters, --- Do you know what is happening to women in Europe to -day ? Do you know what the women of Belgium, of Seryia, of Flanders, and even of your own race in the old land have suffered by the invading Huns ? Do you know that thousands and tens of thousands, with their little ones, are driven starving from their homes to die in misery ; that they are being violated and slaughtered Do you realize that if this War is not fought out in Europe, you and your children may be forced to share the sufferings of those in, Europe ? Do you realize that if Canada is to protect her people, her homes, agd her liberty, her men must be given without stint to take part in the struggle ? ' Thousands of glorious Mothers, Wives and Sisters have given their dearest to this cause of Humanity and of the Empire. Can you meet this type of Womanhood in social intercourse ? Are you content to see other mothers, wives and sisters proudly sending off their manhood to protect you and your risen -folk ? Or will you meet the burden of this generation with Courage, "the Highest of Divine Virtues ? YOUR REASON IS ONLY LAME EXCUSE. 251 'en for tIUR N and in 15 ' :... ,IMAi - 41in?qqi laganfairo. atAtenSAMMellMatalapAtegamongriarguitaxgratone. +"•'4:Y:; u*»'•A' 1 cry":'ist'S.''.fir`F�"t-rilil°'M'Yi�Y'�fr', �nY '".,�`"n<Yf'itia,' `a1 Y15NA'd'` '. a'., V.1! ..•-.:' "` ys ,, .vs'zi, r' 1" to 1 vs 4. • 0 re its 6 t9 0 6 • is • ai • • • e • • • • 1 1
