SEAFORTH, Friday, October 26, 1917 SACRIFICES ENDURED By GERMAN PEOPLE. One has no idea of the tremendous sacrifices these people are making for their country says an Amercian news- paper woman who has recently re- turned from Germany. This is the Never reflection to make when we read about the German people sub- mitting to one new hardship after another. It is natural that we should exult when we hear of new food cards being issued and the_, growing scarcity of the necessaries of life, butwe should be blind if we failed to see something admirable ii= the quiet sub- mission of the German civilians to whatever measures their Government assnres them are necessary for strengthening the German armiesj It is true that the German people are used to dumb obedience, and it is true that British countries are not used to dumhobedience. The painful fact is that we shall have to learn to submit to inconveniences and hard- ships without grumbling, that we shall have to think more of the mer. at the front than of ourselves at home, and before the war is over may have to emulate the spirit of sacrifice that has spread all over the German nation. Miss' Mary Ethel McAuley, went to Germany in 1915, and remained tnere until last July. She gives her experi- ences to the New York Herld . She notes that Germany, in preparation for this . war, had stored as much cotton, rubber, nickel and oth in- dispensable metals and food es_ she calculated would enable her to win the war in a few months. .,Germany knew what was coming, and in this respect she had a tremenduous initial advantage over the Allies, but she knew only part of what was coming, She had no more notion that the war would continue fo) more than three years than had Belgium. For some time, by importing from her Scandi- navian and Dutch neighbors, she was able to keep her original stores al- most intaco brat as the war continued making incredible demands upon sup- plies of _sery kind, and the Allied blockade ai.,hteiied, it was necessary ' o resort to heron • n.1 asures to get what she wanted. In the A .unin of 1015 she bega the first collection, that of metal. Each family received a list of the things that Must be surrendered to the State. The first demand was for brass. Nearly eery family in Ger- many boasted a hone with a stove ornamented with brass knobs. These were taker_- off and iron knobs substi- tuted. Brass kettles and utensils of all kinds -were taken, and paid for by weight. No allowance was made for the artistic value of the articles, though in some cases permits were issued authorizing the retention of heirlooms The German people are now expecting a call to surrender their brass door knobs. These would have been taken long ago if workmen had been available to make new knobs. Copper was also commandeered. Many of German's public buildings had cop- per roofs and these were, stripped. Church bells also were • taken and melted down. _ An impressive in- stance is related of a Catholic church in Berlin shortly before the corres- pondent left the city. At the morn- ing service the priest waited until the hells had finished rigging, and then announced that that was the last time they would ever be heard, as they were demanded by the Government. Iron money is everywhere in use in place of silver, and aluminum is making its appearance. The State has prepared a list of all the alumi- rum articles in the country, and they may be called for at any time to be used in aeroplanes. Soap is said to be one of the scarcest articles in Ger- many. Clothes are put to soak for a week before wash day and each day they - are boiled a little. At the end of the week the dirt just falls out of them without rubbing. Sand is used as a soap substitute. Hardwood floors are cleaned with tin shavings. In fact, there is a substitute •for almost CLOVES For Oddrlies shams, kid beetz, feathers, lip shades,, pet hinds and eatiit,'a ls, , piano 1070, fare wo , �.snty oususual, sae - LU Won't tea5:117thinte imra water At 413 grocers.

The coun- try's printing presses turn out numer- ous books telling the housewife how to make cakes without butter, or eggs or four; how to make soup out of beer, plums, fish and old straw hats thus saving the housewife much un- necsasry worry. GUARD THE CHILDREN FROM AUTUMN COLDS This fall is the most severe season of the year for colds --one` day is warm, the next is wet and cold and unless the mother is on her guard the little ones are seized with colds that may hang on all winter. Baby's Own Tablets are mother's best friend in preventing or banishing colds. They act as a gentle laxa- tive, keeping the bowels and stom- ach free and sweet. An occasional dose will prevent colds or if it does come on suddenly the prompt use of the tablets will quickly cure it. The tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville ,Ontario. SOLDIERS' FACES BEING REBUILT. A well known English sculptor, who felt the call to. amitis bit, but who= was well past military age, joined the Royal Army Medical Corps some time ago. In a few days he was drafted into° the 'Wards to take the plaster casts of some damaged limbs, and in the course of his work he saw the saddest sights of the war -the men with mutilated faces. These so affected him that he went to his colonel and said: "Let me see what I can do for these poor fellows." II consent was gladly given. His skill as sculptor stood him in good stead here. By means of masks of thin copper, tinted to resemble flesh, he has wrought marvellous transfor- mations in the facial appearance of horribly disfigured men. One case among many in which happiness was made to displace despair was that of a trooper whose face had been smashed by 1 an ex- plosive bullet. His nose had been carried away almost entirely, and his left cheek torn open_ from his ear to his mouth. Before the war he was a taxi driver, and now, made presentable by the wonderful fcial mask that the , sculptor-lieute ant contrived for him -a mask concis ing of false nose, cheek, and moustache - he is plying his old trade anis pros- pering. ros-pering. everything that was in common household use before the war. There is even a substitute for eggs, put up either in capsuleor powder form. It is said to be very• satisfactory, espec- cially when mixed with a real egg, or preferably with a half dozen. There is a substitute for butter, which mixed with half a pound of butter, for instance, will produce a pound of butter. Miss McAuley explains that most people value theiin real butter too highly to make any experiments with it. Cherry. pits, peach stones, etc., are saved and fats and oils are made out f them. Thistles are cut and made into cloth. Human hair is used fcr the saomepurpose. Coffee grounds are collected, but so far, the ingeni- ous German chemists have found nothing they can make out of them except coffee grounds. Coal is said to be plentiful, but labor to mine it is scarce, and therefore the people are obliged to be economical with both DON'T MISS THE POINT! There i� a man in this part of the world, who represents to our way of thinking, a pretty good average of human nature. Whenever the preach- er in his church delivers a very hot sermon 'against some special kind of sin, this man gets enthusiastic and goes around to the vestry to tell the preacher what a fine sermon it was. Then he goes home and rspeats it th his brother, and they talk over the points and the people the sermon his the hardest. But this particular man never sees when the sermon hits hint. Early next month the biggest public campaign ever put on in Canada will j be opened to get subscriptions for the Ifourth Canadian war loan, the Victory i Loan. The thing people in this dis- trict must bear in mind is: that the appeals are directed to each and every one of them. It is not merely the well- off men and women who are being ask - t ed to invest. It is everybody. The little sermons which will be "preach- ed' in the advertising should not be taken as hints to the well-to-do peo- ple only. Every man and woman should watch for these advertisements and start now to gather up the ne- cessary money to buy either a fifty or a hundred or a five hundred or a thousand dollar bond. In the United States there were about 4 subscribers to the first American loan out of every 100 persons. They only received 31/2 per tent. In Canada for the last war loan there were only 41,000 subscrib- ers or say 4 in every 700. Yet in Canada the interest was much higher ---on the Victory Bonds that will prob- ably be issued to yield about 51/2 •per cent. The first thing anyone should do, in our opinion, is to get rid of the idea that there is any sacrifice involved in investing in this loan. It is true that the patriotic spirit is appealed to and it is equally time that a great and gen- erous response is expected on that ground. But the new war loan is a straightaway business proposition; safe, profitable and convenient. Ev- ery man and every woman with as much as fifty dollars to spare should own one of these new bonds, and not only that, but should help to show others the worth of these bonds by recommending them everywhere. The readers of this paper are among the most thrifty, prosperous and public spirited in the Dominion. When the subscriptions to the Victory Loan are added up from the various districts and sub -districts we expect thete to show • that this part of the great Do- minion has been true to its traditions and just to its opportunities. FIRST BATTLE OF YPRES THREE YEARS. AGO. October 17th is destiped to be re- membered in British military history as the aniversary of the First Battle of Ypres, and the name of this little Flemish town, freely pronounced by the soldiers as "Wipers," will become the greatest landmark in British mili- tary annals, according to Frank Si- monds ,the American military expert. The battle which opened three years ago raged until November 1st. In that time the First British Expedition- ary Force, the original British pro- fessional army. the best for its num- bers that ever fought on any field in the world's history, was practically exterminated. Yet it achieved its purpose. It held the gate against the Germans. The second battle of Ypres in the following .April is the Ypres°that will always have a special significance for Canadians, for it was then and there that the French colon- ial troops gave way before the poison gas first used by the Germans, and the duty of barring the road to Calais, fell upon the Canadians. In the words of Field Marshall French, they "saved the day." In the third battle, which cannot yet be said to be over, the Australians duplicated their feats at the Gallipoli. Thus the Ypres sec- tor becomes an Imperial landmark; there has been established the solidar- ity of the British Empire. • Originally Ypres wa$ an accidental battlefield. The. British and the Ger- mans did not choose the spot for a test of strength. They happened to meet there unexpectedly and fought it out. Simonds says that the British had been woefully misinformed as to the strength and position of the Ger- mans. At this time the Belgian army was falling back in front of von Bes- seler's forces which had taken Ant- werp. It was believed among the Al- lied generals that between this Ger- man armies and the main armies which extended from Switzerland to Lille ,there existed a wide gap square- ly in front of Ypres and extending from Menin to Roulersa The plan was to occupy this gap, turn the flank of all the German armies to the south, cut off Von Besseler's army. and cause a general retirement of the whole German front, even as far as Brussels,. This would have been feasible if there had been the gap, or rather if the German forces were as few as supposed. As it fell out the British and the French had for the project- ed operations about 100,000 men; while the Germans had 500,000. It was on these terms that the subse- quent batles were fought. The battle began on October 17 when Rawlin- son with his immortal 7th divisior: moved out of Ypres to seize the cross- ings of the Lys at Menin, and two days later a division actually reached the ' Roulers-Menin highroad, but there encountered the advance guards of two Prussian corps .and was ob- liged to fall back. That night Sir Douglas Haig arrived at Ypres. The, question arose whether he should be sent to protect Rawlinos, who other- wise might be overwhelmed or sent north to cover the flank from Zonne- beke, through Lngemarck to Bix- choote. Because a failure to stop a gap on the north between Zonnebeke and the marshes would permit a wedge to be driven between the Brit- sh and Begian armies and leave an pen road to Calais and Boulogne it was decided that Rawlinson would ..stnit._ I 0 e s. e..� .-e w. a .e,w a .-�«o»o. a.•e-�.o�0 h f I ave to fight it out for himself. a SUFFERING CAT I From October 20 to the end of the S' • • GIVE THIS MAN # i were slowly driven back, and ' at one month the fighting about Ypres was intense, The seventh division was al- b t most annihilated when Haig was able ? to send some supports.

For three weeks the British fought an enemy five times as numerous and equipped with heavy artillery and machine guns, both of which weapons were lacking to the British in any useful number. Probably 6n per cent. -perhaps more -of the British army were killed, wounded or captured, but in the end they stilt' held Ypres and the lines before its For such bn achievement all praise is inadequate.: And at Ypres Britain's professional army perished, but its tradition became henceforth im- perishable.

WHEN a childstarts coughingsnother's duty is to give the little 'ufferer a Peps tablet, and thus pre- vent any weakening of the lungs. As the tablet dissolves in the child's mouth, the soothing medi- cinal fumes given off pass through the tender breath- ing passages straight to the lungs and bring immediate. comfort and relief. Peps contain no opium or other harmful drugs, a n d can be given to a child (either whole or crushed to a powder) with the assurance of absolute benefit. One little Peps at night will clear the breathing passages of dust and let the little one's sleet, be unbroken by coughing fits.
