It was net only the largest open- ing in point of attendanee in several year, but one which there was a display of beautiful gowns such as had not been sem at any similar function in Toronto since the war began. The seats mem the flooi of the House were weil :filled with wives and lady friends af the Ministers and members and it would scarcely have "been known that a war was in pro- gressiThe speaker's and public gal- leries were also filled with ladies for the first time in two years. The usual formalities in eonmection with the openine were carried out His Honor the Lieut -Governor ap- peared in his official unidorra at- tended by Major-General Logic and a large number of staff officers. The speech from the throne was ,read and received marked attention after IWhich His Honor withdrew from the eharriber. The speech from the throne fore- shadowed legislation along the follow- ing lima: The providing of work for returned soldiers; extension of Hydro- power and provincial highways; a special effort to increase production of food stuffs and the securing of ad- - ditfional laboi; a thorough enquiry into the nickel question; the regula- tion of co-operative societies; to pro- vide for votes for soldiers and other purposes. The newly elected members were introduced as follows: Sir William H. Hearst, and Hon. Dr. Pyne first in- trodueed Hon. W. D. McPherson. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson and Hon. W. T. Garry then introduced Eccle- stone, member elect for Muskoka; Chas. M. Bowman and J. C: Elliott introduced John Wellington Hay,meni- , ber elect for North Perth; William Proudfoot and G. C. Hardman intro- duced 11. Hartley Dewart, member elect for South West Toronto, and Hon L B. Lucas and Capt. Hartt, intro- duced W. A. Pere ntember-elect for West Simcoe. The House then ad- journed until Thursday when among other items of business, Mr. W. Proudfoot of Centre Huron, introduc- ed a hill entitled: "An act allowing - municipalities to adopt preferential voting.' THE WAR SITUATION. Will the United States enter the war? That is the main topic of inter- est in the war :situation this week. The German Government, through Switzerland, have approached the Un- ited States with the object of re -op- ening the submarine question. Pres- ident Wilson has at last, however, apparently made up his mind On this question, and his answer was an em- phatic "No." Not only that, but he has made a premptory demand• f m the releaie of the 72 American seamen taken to Germany in the prize ship Yarrowdale and who have since beer forcibly detained there. What the outcome will be is hard to say; any overt act at any time may supply the match to set the powder afire. In the meantime the American Ambassador has been allowed to leave Berlin, ab though mOth very ill grace and not without a good deal of uapleastant- t ness, and Count Bernsterff and his suite left Washington Tuesday night for New York, where they immediate- ly boarded the boat in waiting' to car- ey them to Germany. - Germany's latest barbarity, the un- restricted submarine warfare, is not proving the terror it was expected, and like others before it, it will. e-ventually be overcome. it is true the loss in shipping siece. the optning of the cam- pagin two weeks ago has been consid- erable and even serious, but it is proving by no means a knock -out blow. It may be depen-ded upon that Ger- many is pot holding hee- hand. If the undersea ivarfare upon which she counted to bring Britain to her knees was to be effective it must, she knew, be brought to bear with all force right from the start She dare _not delay, -the blow must be struck with every ounce of her force before the Allies could adopt measures to meet the new menace. Taking this into consid- eration, it might safely besaid that the worst has been met and passed. The British Admiralty has announced that they are quite satisfied with the way in which the situation is being met. What means are being taken to cope with the attacks is not laiown, nor do 001•06.01.•111•MO•0 nos -tufa to. i 61 7 British waters, 1,100 vessels arrived at or sailed from United Kingdom poets, 700 entered old country ports and 400 -departed from Same, while only 89 vesselii were sunk, not out of British sailing's alone, but from Alllied and neutral ports tte well, and of the 89 twenty-one were trawlers and smacks. It does not look as ifIlmtain-Wauld be starved yet awhile. The fighting. on land has been a little more brisk during the week. Severe frosts have converted. the mud into hard going \and the Allies have taken every advantage of it. On the British and Canadian fronts very con- siderable ground has been gained, as much in some cases as 600 yards a day along a considerable frontage and the few casualties in these attacks and the apparent ease with 'which the Ger- man positions are taken showe the growing ascendency of. the • Allies in men and munitions and augurs well fon thein when the hour of the big push comes. THE CLASH BETWEEN SIR SA AND SIR THOMAS. • To discriminating persons the be ehow of the session was the. cla between the two hard-boiled Ego Sir Sam's and Sir Thomas's. It has ways been conceded that Sir Sa. doesn't just exactly hate himselfel .he Finance Minister adores hims with a passion tenderer still. Sir Sam's Ego was under some re- straint. He was explaining why the Conservative party loved him so mu that it ldekedelim downstairs. Moe ever he was explaining under diffic ties. Sir William Mackenzie had b down during the week and had r moyed the detonators. Likewise t Government was not disposed to 1 Sir Sam igo too far without taking crack back. Altogether Mars was u der wraps, but his Ego pranced w just the same, When Sir Sam got up to speak, pe haps ten faithful souls broke into a plause. When he sat down he got full round from his side of the Hon Everybody seemer relieved, includi Sir Sam, that nothing had been SR that could back -fire. Salm made quite plain that he wouldn't join t Liberal party because its principl were repugnant to him, and also doubt, because, as he was a 'Libel. many years before he was a Consery tive, he couldn't very well join it gain. As 'Winston Churchill says, "y can rat once, but you cawn't rer don't you know." Sam also made it plain that he didri want to leave the dear old Consery tive party so long as there was chance of him becoming a Cabin Minister again. Sir Sam is under a visernent that there is to be a sha,k up which will shake Premier Bord out and that then is his chance. If gets thrown down then he can go ti form a Third- Party and becom ender along that route. He can ea ily fix it up with Billy Maclean, wh has a third party, too but woul Imam it in with Sir San's if Billy Ma lean was made Finance- Minister. L -- W. F. handle the revenues of the coun try and he doesn't give a hoot wh makes the laws. strcemeand qidek at the up‘ake. Sam !ai. I remember, took' four sep 'rate • creeks at the Finance Minister. You - can look them =up for youreelf. Bet the one that caused the trouble was when lie said that Sir ThOrnate was 1poking his hose into everybody's esti- 'mates, and how he had told Sic Thom - !as that his business was to find the 'revenue and quit meddling. 1- It was this assault that Sir Thomas I arose to defend himself against. He idefended himself for two reasons -be- cause he wanted to take a slap at Sam and because it was his chance to boost :himself Sir Thomas made mention of "extravagant and useless expendi- tures" Sir Sam fairly snapped at it. "As what?" he futried "Oh, wee," Said Sir Thomas, "for example, shov t els." Of course everybody re hem- bered the McAdam shovel with the 'hole in the middle. The House rock- , ed with laughter. "Yes," shouted Sam, "I knew that was what you had •in your mind."' Which will prompt the reader to m 'ask why, if he knew that was what Sir Thomas had in his inind he reached for it that way What a crack Tom st gave Sam with that shovel, and after sh Sam being so kind and considerate s- of the Conservative party, tool An- al- other ely dig was Sir Thomas' state - m ment that Sir Sam had once thought ut so Much of him as to offer to make elf him an honorary colonel Sir Thomas refused and naturally he wekomed a chance to tell the public that he refus- ed and therefore to acquire merit with eh sensible people Even when Sir Thom- e- es is "paying them out" .he doesn't ui- forget that he has his way to make. een Excelsior -that is his motto. And if e- he can do it by making a fool of Sam, he et a n - ell r_ abort and that Premier Borden was • t the Asquith, so to speak. If Sir a Thomas hadn't thia in view why did se. he quote at length the letters which IT he kept writing to Premier Borden ie from the beginning of the war right it tip to date -lettere all of which show - he ed Premier Borden holding back and es Finance Minister White prodding him no on to. take the overseas, situation in ai hand and get some cheek on the ex- a- Penditure which totalled some eighty a_ tnillion dollars a year ' That was the ou quarrel -responsibility for the expen- diture, not worrying over who should be brigadier and who not. ts Sir Thomas' letters revealed Tre- e_ mier Borden as the rnortkey on the a • stick, and Tom White as the dellow et that made him jump. Which wae just m. what Tom set out to prove. Q.E.p. ee as our old friend Euclid used to say en In the course of an hour's speech, he Sir Thomas must have paused once a ee -minute to hurl a bouquet at himself. e Not mentioning names, of course, but s- looking straight at the party concern- e - et why so much the better! But taking a whack at Sam was the least part of Sir Thomas' speech. What he was out to prove was that Sir Thomas White was the David Lloyd George of this Canadian situ - If things don't go just right Sir Sa has ambition and the Third Part to back him up. Also hope spring eternal in the human breast, and, b sides. Sam has forty thousand lith graphs of himself, with a battle back ground, and that ought to be goo campaign literature, if the Third Par ty ever has to make a start. Woreing urider hobbles though it di Sir Sam's Ego made fairly good going The letters he quoted -no doubt writ ten by himself to himself -gave ful credit to his great qualities of hear and mind. The letter trick is a goo one. A letter can often say for yo what you can't say for yourself. shows that Sir Sam has had news paper training. They frequently dd that in a newspaper office -set Jus titia, and Veritas, and Pro Bono Pub lice going, the whole tribe being ord. the editor under pen disguises. Sam' letters are taken for what they ar worth. They have the general ton of the letters written by Sam from South Africa. Incidentally Sir Sam fought and won the Boer War al over again -this time without the as sistance of his man Turpin. Sam also analyzed his own faults He frankly admitted that , he had aults. What great man hasn't? He ad a quick temper -like Nap leon. He didn't mention Napoleon, ti be ure, but he left the comparison to e inferred. Also he was autocratic-- ike Julius Caesar, or Alexander the Great. But, let that pass. What did ir Sam do when he was in the Militia epartrnent? And here his Ego had ull =scope. Sir Sam told the wonder - til story over atm in How he, had tripped the halos from the British War Office and put Lloyd George and he crowd in their places and had ought °for and won the control of anadian troops overseas, and many ther deeds of high emprise, in hich there is no space to follow him ere. Sam was the whole works while e jested and the reason he didn't last as' that he couldn't 'be the whole orks any longer This is the whole ecret. Sam's views on the Hon. Mr. Per - y, Minister of Militia Overseas, as rnamental and superfluous, were ghly entertaining; also his opinion the British officer in general and his ank criticism of the V.A.D. hospi- ls, in England as marriage bureaus, here hatchet-faced society spinsters ho had no other chances married our anadian officers while they were too eak and ill to resist.. Sam threw ost of this information into his asides d his asides are always very Mum- ating Incidentally Sam threw in a w remarks about British Staff Offi- rs, whieh will, no doubt; make their ir curl when they read them the Canadian correspondence, of the London Times. It seems at they suffer, not only from the d -tape worm, but from the army rni, the hook worm, and a few oth- s Sir Sam's five years' association th his Nationalist colleagues in the rden Cabinet have eyidently had eir effect He gave a certificate of ilairacter to that "Mtlth s un der- od young officer, Armand Lavergne f h s b 1 S D f f s t f C o -w h h w w s le c hi of fr -th w w C w :ii an in fe ce ha in sa th re wo er wi Bo th eh eto vce hear how many U-boats are captur- wh a decrease in the number of boats doc I ed, nor how many are sunk.

As the ladies in- tend making another shipment in the future everybody is expected to con- tinue the saving process.

The Late 'Samuel Sanders. -Anoth- er of the old and worthy pioneers of this locality passed away on Tuesday evening of last week, in the person of Mr. Samuel Sanders, of Huron street, lit the age of 82 years and 2 months. The deceased had been in fail- ing health for about a year, but his case did not take on a serious turn until a few months ago, when he was compelled to take to his bed, and his once robust constitution gradual- ly gade away under the severe strain of acute suffering, caused by the mal- ignant disease with which he was af- flicted. The late Mr. Sanders was born in Devonshire, England, and at the age of about seven years he came to Can- ada with his parents, settling on a farm a little west of the village, and with the exception of the few years of his early life spent in England his residence here has been. uninterrupt- ed. About 15 years ago he retired from the farm and took up his residence on Huron street. In early life he en- dured all the hardships incident to the clearing up of -a new country and under these influences developed a force of character which marked him out among men in later life...Like all others, he had his trials and difficul- ties, but- with patience, perseverance and hard work they were in time ovir- come aind he made for himself and fanthy a comfortable home. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and took a deep interest in all public ques- tions. He served on the council board of the township of Stephen for three years, on the Board of Health. in Ex- eter for severed years, and for many years held office on the Agricultural Society Board. Deceased ,was of a theerful disposition, always making new friends, and was held.in high es- teem by all who knew hina Besides his widow he is survived by a grown rip family ,of four sons and four daugh- ters: Wm. D. Sanders, of Stephen; Samuel M. and Daniel B., of Exeter, and James A., of Woodstock; Mrs. James Brintnell, Mrs_ William Fisher, and Mrs. James Hill, of Exeter, and Mrs. Joshua Heywood, of Usborne. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Thomas Snell, of tow, who is the last of a large family. The remains were laid to rest in Exeter cemetery.

Choice weighty steers were firm at $10.50 to *11, and three or four loads were eold at $11.25 and 11.50; medium weighty butchers'. were cashed in at $9 ‚75 to $10 25. The run was fairly large, with 2,263 head on the market. The hog mark- et appeared to be rather uneteady. Packers stated they were willing., to pay $14.40, fed, and $14.65, off car, for the first two days of this week only, intimating that they might make an effort to reduce prices still further on Wednesday. The above quote - dons are 35c below the closing fig- ures of last week. The f.o.b. price was placed at $13.65 for Monday and Tuesday shipment. There were a few lots sold,andsome packers who adhered to the above prices did not operate.
