Or faint Exmitor SEAFORTH, Friday, March, &I, 1917. THE WAR SITUATION. The past week has been one of cern- parative quiet compared with the stu- pendous events, which preceded it last week. On the, Western front the Germans are still giving ground, but decidkilly raore slowly and grudging- ly. The British and French, however, in spite of -very adverse weather con- ditions, continue to advance_ despite the defence being put up by Germany. A lumber of additional towns and,vil- lags have been captured, and severe fighting is now in progress... On the result of this battle largely depends the iesue for the coming months. If the Germans an hold the line they are now defending it will altogther likely mean another siege of trench war- fare, which means that the enemy will again cement themselves in, and after they are firmly establighed will with- draw troops from the West for rein- forcements for a drive on one of the other fronts, most possibly the Rus- sian front. On the other- hand; if the Allies can keep up their present gait, Germany will have no chance to again dig in, and she will have to keep up the retreat commenced two weeks ago. Of course the ground gains will not be made as rapidly, nor as easily' as those in the first rush, because Germany has her retreat covered by prepared posi- tions, and how many of these she has and how strong they are is unknown. It is known, however, that 'her first retreat was made because she was forced to it, and it is also a well es- tablished fact that she has already retreated farther than was -her first intention, also because she was forced to it. If the Allies are successful in the present battle it means that the Ger- mans. can not hold the much vaunted Hindenburg line, or any other, which spells her final retirement from both Belgian and French soil. The situation in Russia, although quiet as far as can be learned, is still very huch unsettled. The new govern- ment are doing and have done wonders but they have tremendous obstacles before them to still overcome. The work of agitators whose every effort is designed to hinder the successful accomplishment of the revolution is becoming more apparent, and differ- ent factions are agitating a counter- revolution, and the old rulers and se- cret police are already trying to stir up opposition to the new government. The new rulers, however, appear to have, a pretty firm hold on the affairs of the country. It is reported that these internal troubles and the great problems of reconstruction which must necessarily hold the attention of Rus- sia have decided Germany to make an- other -drive on Petrograd. To this end they are said to be massing great numbers of troops and huge supplies of munitions on the Eastern front. To offset this manoeuvre the new Gov- ernment are dong their utmost to bring the armies of the new Russia up to the highest standard of effi- ciency, and in this they are succeeding wonderfully. To this end a thorough weeding out of pro -German sympa- thizers in high army offices is already in progres. No official is too high to be deposed if his former record -brings him undersuspicion, and if the pres- ent powers that be can weather the storm for a few more weeks there is not a question of a doubt but that the new Russia will turn out to be the real friend and helper to the Allies that she is capable of being. , On the night of March 20,the Brit- ish hospital ship Asturias was tor- pedoed without warning and sunk, with a loss of about 60 lives. She had previously landed some 900 wounded soldiers at a British port and was re- turning to France with all lights' burning and with all proper disting- uishing Red Cross signs visibly illum- inated. This is one more crime added to the list of German Mahar. When the special session of Con - gems ,nalled. by President Wilson meets on Tuesday, it is confidntly ex- pected that a formal declaration of war will be- made against Germany. To all intents and purposes the United States is in reality now in a state HURON NOTES. —Arrangeinents have been made for hydro engineers to address meetings of Farmer's Clubs at -, the following, places: At Leburn, March 28th; Ben - miller, March 29th; GodericlitoeimshiP March -30th..

He was sired by Perfect MotiOn,a get of Baron of Bucklyvie, whose get stood first in Scotland in the year 1913, also a half brother of Dahure Footprint, the leading sire in 1916.

The bride was unattended ex- cept for little Miss Ruby Meyer, who acted as flower girl. Miss Pearl Pfile sister of the bride, played the wedding march. About 46. guests witnessed the interesting event, some being pre- sent from Michigan and Dakota. The bride was dressed in Georgette crepe over white Duchess satin with pearl trimmings and her travelling dress was of navy. blue broadcloth. After the congratulations all sat down to a bounteous wedding dinner. The groom's gift to the bride was a hand- some piano, and to the flower 'girl a gold bracelet.

Not that they were a better people but were in luke warm con- dition, so much detested. But. I think England is coming out of any luke warm stage that She may have been in, Well I guess I will drift to camp life. We are faring very well here. As a rule we are well fed for soldiers and should be proud and thankful we are allowed to do our bit as Canadians.

I was delighted to hear from you and to know the people of Usborne township and Huron Coun- ty, (good old English names) had not forgotten the boys who are ab- sent from home. Many for the first to be robbed of home fires and home friends with all it means: But I as- sure you the Hurons are no Thinkers and will show their worth and 1 feel sure that the Hurons at home will be proud to own their volunteer overseas battalion as we are of our home C01111- ty. 1 can say without fear of contra- diction that the Hurons are uphold- ing the splendid name they have made for themselves while in training in the different camps in Canada., As proof the Hurons are, I believe the first battalion to hold their identity as a unit that have come over the past year and unless something unexpectedly happens we will go to the firing line as a battalion. Of course there is little chance of perfection in the army, especially since we are all so human, and the conditions that sine - round a soldier are not ideal I as- sure you. An army is of necessity cosmopolitan and as a rule' of dif- ferent standard than the Hurons. But as a whole the men are making great sacrifices to win the war and save their fellow countrymen from bond- age that would be a set back to civ- lization and religious liberty.

Address and Presentation.—A very pleasant evening -was spent on Tues- day, March 20th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Love, when the.yeemg people and neighbors to the nuniber of 100 gathered. The chief object of the gethering was to make a pre- sentation to Mr and Mrs. Love as they settle down to married life. A good programme was prepared and Mr Shillinglaw very ably acted as chair- man. In his address he congratulated the young couple and welcomed theta as neighbors and wished them health and prosperity through the journey of life. He also spoke with regret of losing Mr. and Mrs. Love, sr., from the community, but hoped and trusted that they would be long spared to each other in their new home to enjoy a well earned rest. The first part of thte progrannne consisted of instrumentals songs and recitations, after which the chairman asked Mr and Mrs.' Love to come forward when a well worded aMress was read by Mr. William Hay during the course of which a hand- s,onie dining -room set and pedastel were presented to them by MT. Albert Alexander, Mr. Love made a very suitable reply and thanked the young people on behalf of his wife and hire - self for the magnificent gift and hoped that they would still be considered among the young people and welcome them to their home. The last half of the programme consisted chiefly of speeches delivered by neighbors and young men, After lunch games and dancing were indulged in until the early hours, music being furnished by Mr. Hugh Chesney and Miss Forsyth. The following is the address: To Mr. and Mrs. James Love, Dear _Friends: As you are about to settle down tq the sterner realities of life, we feel that we cannot let you do so without showing some appreciation of your service to the young people of this community. Both -of you were always ready and willing to do anything that lay in your power for the uplift of the young people both mentally and morally. For the valuable services you have rendered, to the Young Peo- ple's Club of Egmondville and School Room, and also the choir, we would ask you to accept this dining -room set and pedestal. not for -their 'in- trinsic value but as a tlight token of our regard and esteem and trust that you both may long be spared to each other to use these gifts and when 11EINSALIa SPRING MILLINERY OPENLNGS. --*-Friday and Saturday, March 30th and 31st, 1917.

Death of a Pioneer.—We have this week to chronicle the death of one of our pioneer and most respected resi- dents in the person of Mrs. Wilham Moore, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.Pierson of London,with whom she had been visiting, on Sat- urday morning, last. Mrs. Moore had been in declining health for some time but previous to that, while never very robust, was always very active and , smart. She was a native of Ireland, being born in the County of Derry, about the year 1842, coming to this country in 1848. settling in Cavan for some time with her parents, after- wards moming to the township of Hibbert, where she lived- until the time of her marriage, which took place in 1864, to the late William Moore, who predeceased her some nine years. The deceased was the eldest daughter of the late Mr, Alexander Henry, late of the township of Hib- bert, and leaves to mourn her loss two sons Charles of Detroit, and William. of London, and three daughters, Miss M. J. Moore. of London, Mrs. Pierson, the same city and Mrs. T. Simpson, of this village. Mrs. Moore was a lady highly respected for her many kind and excellent qualities, was a - consistent member of the Presbyter - Ian church, and will be much rnissed by a large circle of friends. The remains were brought here to the home Of her daughter, Mrs. T. Simpson, on Satur- day' last, and the funeral service was conducted on Monday afternoon by ihe Rev. Mr. Smith assisted by Reeds. Mr. Moore and Mr. Knight. The re- mains were interred in Hensall Un- ion Cemetery.

The Ford is Economical The average man can easily afford a Ford car. It is the most inexpensive car to drive. Twenty to et miles on a gallon of gasoline is an every -day oceurrence. Thirty-three miles is frequently re- ported by Ford owners. Yearly repair expenses -of less than one. dollar are not unusual. The car is light in weight, and tires give more mileage on a Ford than on any other car; You can buy a Ford for yourself and one for your wife for the price of one car al $1000 You can run both Fords at about the same expense as for one lar- ger, heavier aad car,ri Hve in the 1917 model See bow comfor- table it is.
