For some time, gluiest from the
beginning of the war, the Union elnek
and the flags of the Allies have been
displayed in several of the churches
in town, On Sunday last a new flag
appeared in the group, the Stars and
Stripes, the national flag of our
neighbors; to the south, the latest
addition to the personnel of the En-
tente.
It is most gratifying to Canadians
to feel that our ,next door neigh-
bors are no'w with us in the great
fight. For two and a half years they
held aloof. Not only so, but they
seemed so utterly Indifferent while we
were so vitally concerned that it was
impossible for' us to see eye to eye,

Much sympathy is felt for 1VIr, and
Mrs: I-1.' Bartliff owing to the death
of their youngest son; John Cardiff,
which occurred cit Tuesday.
The • little fellow, who lacked a

had been as a babe somewhat delicate,
but had grown out of that and was
apparently a robust child until a few
days before his passing, when he be
came ill, and in spite of evertthing
'that could b.e,lone for him, he grad-
ually grew worse. The funeral, which
was private, took place yesterday af-
teriloon.

ceiving it you could just erase or
mark out your own address and re-
address it ,to someone else. Of course

tinues to soar, it may be we shall be
obliged to resort to something of the
