R • Brown, of Detroit; - SEAFORTH, F IDAY, AIJOUS'T 0, 1918 BRITAIN'S PART IN THE WAR One of the greatest and most ef- fective speethes of his career was de- livered by Mr Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain, on. August 7th. It was, in effect, a review of 'Britain's course and Britain's service in this wee.. He declared that the British Em- pire did not enter the war "because it believed that British soil was to. be invaded or even threatened with in- vasion, but because of an outrage upon international right." He pro- ceeded to cite some of the facts to show what British influence had been upon the .course of the 'war. Natur- ally, his fisrtthought turned to the British navy. The navy's. part, ' he pointed , out, was not played • where 'men could see it and picture itand report it for all the world,' but took - place rather' "on a vast wilderness of sea over hundreds of thousands of ;square miles, with no ane • to witness it or to describe it except those who ;took part in the fierce struggle." The navy has no winter quarters and it is carrying on a struggle which is de-, eisive. Without it there could be no fightingby the Allies on the land. For our years the sea has been pa- trolled by the British fleet. In the month of June alone ships of the British navy steamed 8,000,000 miles. The majority of American troops landed in France have been carried on 'British ships, and these ships have been diverted from other services for ;this purpose. The land offensive of the Germans might have been disastrous, but a sea offensive would be decisive. This is what the British navy has pre- vented. "Unless the Allies had been completely triumphant from the out- break of the war at sea, no effort on land. could have saved us." So much for the British navy. But there is still a great story to be told about the British army. At no time - before the war was there any expecta- tion that Great Britain . would supply. armed forces greater than six divi- sions. As a matter of record, Great Britain alone has raised an army of six and- one-quarter million men. This Mr. Lloyd George. himself translated into American terms, for he said, "If the United States of America were to call to the colors the same number of men in proportion to het population it would - mean nearly fifteen millions of men." Mr. Llyd George spoke, in particu- lar, of what the British army had done since March 21st. When that blow first fell,. there - was no unity - of com- mand. Each general was concerned with the defences of his own front. The British army,. of , course, was thrown back, but it was not over- whelmed',:_ and in the midst of the struggles,` unity. of col unand carve: The great, unexpected' losses of the British were made up. "In a fort- night's time, 268,000 men were thrown across the channel, one of the most remarkable feats of British shipping." In a month's time -"a fresh gun had been put back for every one - that was lost, and every deficiency in machine guns not merely supplied, but the number increased." By May 1st the Germans had left the British without overwhelming them. Mr. Lloyd George paid tribute to the . French and Americans, and in particular, made this declaration: "From the moment that General Foch assumed strategic command the for- tune of the Allied armies were re- stored," The Prime Minister pointed out that General Foch -was not strict- ly a generalissimo. A generalissimo has complete .control, appointing and dismissing all generals; this sort of command General Foch does not have, and does not desire, but has strategic commandinstead—that is, command over the strategy of the armies. - Mr. Lloyd George concluded his speech with an explanation of the policy of the British people toward Russia, which is to enable the Rus- sian people to be. free from German control, so that :they can make deci- sions and act for them elves. He ex- plained that the Czechoslovaks were in Russia not because they chose to be but because the Bolshevist Govern- ment prevented them from leaving and forced them into their present position. He concluded by holding. up the Russian peace as a warning to the Allies, and pointed out that no peace could be durable if the Prus- sian sword clanked on the council table. - Cosens—Brown—The home of Mx. and Mrs. E. H. Brown, Fourth street, Cornwall, was the scene of, aepretty house wedding at high noon on Satur- day, when their daughter, Miss Lillian Ray Brown, became the bride of Rev.' Charles Weseley DeWitt Cosens, M. A., of Bryanstown, Ont., son of Rev. T. Wesley Cosens, pastor of the Cbrn- wall Methodist church, and Mrs. Cosens. The ceremony was perform- ed by Rev. T. W. Cosens, father of the groom. The bride, who was given a- way by her father, wore a dress of white silk crepe de chene trimmed. with Georgette crepe and seed pearls. She also wore a veil of handmade lace arranged in cap effect, being the gift of her ..brother, Dr. Fred Brown, in India. The bridesmaid, Miss E. Blanche Shook, of Seeley's Bay, Ont., wore pink marquisette with over- blouse of velvet. The groom was as- sisted by Pte. H. Stanley Brown, of the C A . M . C . ; Valcartier, Que., bro- ther of the bride. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss L. Gillis, cousin of the bride. The house was tastefully decorated -with ferns and cut flowers. The bridal party stood amid a bower of green with fes- toons of ribbon and orange blossoms. During the signing of the register, Miss Martha McRae, sang "To -day" and Miss Leara Gillis ' "Love's Gar-• dens," both selections being rendered with artistic effect. Only the immed- iate relatives of the bride and groom were pres nt. those from out of town being the Misses A. I. and B. L.

The popularity of the brideWas manifest- ed in the number of presents she re- ceivede among them being a silver tea service from the Epworth League of the Methodist church, of which she was president; and a silver. pudding dish from the choir of the church, of which she was a member. The groom's gift to the bride was a gold pendant set with pearls and aquamarine; to the bridesmaid a brooch set with pearls and sapphires; to the best man a tie pin set with an opal, and to Miss Leara Gillis, who played the wedding march a brooch set with pearls and an emerald. A unique feature of this important event is that the happy young couple were married on the an- niversary of the wedding of their parents. Rev. T. Wesley and Mrs. Cosens, and Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Brown. Rev, DeWitt aad Mrs. Cosens start their life work together after several years of special training. A host of friends join in the hearty congratul- ations and wish them every happiness and prosperity The groom is a nep- hew of Mrs. Archie Scott of this town and a grandson of the late Robt. Govenlock. GERMANY EXPECTS ALLIES TO FORGET Nothing appears more certain from a careful reading of the German press than their strange delusion that the peace treaty will at once wipe out all memory of -their unspeakable atro- cities and that we will all enthus- iastically - begin tQ buy _ and use mil- lions of articles `made in Germany." This is the conclusion reached by the Iliterary Digest after perusing a great number of •Getman news- papers. It seenis to bd the German expectation that we will exchange for the products made by the very hands guilty of unmentionable crimes our good money that will go direct to Germany to finance fresh war preparations, and that we shall calmly see our cotton, our copper, our steel, our wheat• go to the same destination to be made into ex- plosives, ordnance, and - war rations, without 'a thought of our' boys who would take the consequences of our folly in the "next war" which Ger- many is planning at this moment. It need hardy be - said that their estimate of our stupidity is about 100 per cent, out of the way. Here is a wail from the great free city of Hamburg, which has been crippled by the war and is likely to remain so forever, should we ever adopt economic retaliation. The chief organ of the Hanseatic shipping , and export interests, the Hamburger Nachrichten, tells us, what the;, trade longings of the Ger- man' are: tt,� "The merchants and shippers ofs Hamburg and Bremen sincerely wish and believe it to be practicable that on both sides—among the Ger- manic Powers as well as among our present enemies—war commercial measures will automatically come to 'an end with the conclusion of the war. In other words, that the 'war after the war' will bestopped as soon as possible and honest compe- tion resumed all along .the line in old-time unrestricted fashion. "Perhaps the England of a Lloyd George and the France of a Cle- me`ceau will no be ready to aban- do trade Wade a n y more than would the Russia of a Sazonoff. But we 'expect,, as doe also the Hanseatic bus ness communi y, that we shall ala achieve in thWest such a vic- to that it will'il t be Lloyd. George and Clemenceau ho, sign the peace tre4 - s soon as th nations now fet- ing ating • :one another i arms are ready for »ieace, they will very soon feel the necessity of a tering once again into - mutual bumess relationship. This - process o reconstruction. should be eft to he business men on both sides, w o, notwithstand- ing all that has b en destroyed, can rebuild .more easily than political officials," 1 One remedy the l Germans have evolved to •.mitigated the horrors of an economic war is the extension of commercial -treaty 'ghts with the other Central Po ers, particularly with !Austria. Bu here again the wisher heads are d bious. The Kol- nische. Zeitung writes: :`The utmost cau ion is necessary above all, just now, in the negstia- tions With our allies Austria, how- ever owever highly we may esteem her, and however intimately we may • re- main her : friend, cannot even remotely eompensa us in the economic Sphere f r all that we havie lost abroa ' Business is busines's, and so it \ ill rennin, even betwee' allies.

In negotiations with Au tria, therefore, the word "conessi ns" should be used with the utmos caution, since we cannot yet discs what advan- tages ear enemies la r on may de- rive from"ahem." Writing in the offi ial Norddeut- 4sche Allgemeine Zeitu g, one • of the great Commercial aut orities of Ger- many, Eduard Acheli� president of the Bremen • Import Association, urges the same argum nt:, "It would be wrong. • believe that we can find a substitu for OUT for- mer world economic ositin in the form ofclose union th the coun- tries situated east and southeast of Germany sand Austria. It is just as ,erroneous, to suppose t at we shall protect ourselves agains an economic war by e tablishing a 1: rge number of- monop bate_ militat organiza- tions.

Germans hanker to'be permitted; to nibble once more, at allied fleshpots, to gorge themselves for the purpose of- acquiring the wherewithal to re- construct their war -machine, and r`i 1 p icldn s generally tci enjoy the, c � p g which we, in our blindness, so long allowed them to do. 1 "Our armies, before _theirs work is done, will hit the Hun • on the battlefield in a gray he will not mis- understand, Let the Inter -Allied terms.

FARMERS ASKED FOR ACCOUNTING Farmers throughout the country are being asked by_ the Finance Depart- ment to fill in forms which will give an accounting of their operations ins 1917 for the purposes of the Income War Tax Act. The farmers are re- puested to state the guantity of their products in that year. the price at which those products were sold, -the quantity consumed at_ home or ex- changed for goods at shops, income from other sources, the cost of feed, labor, machinery and an estimate of depreciation. Farmers are liable to taxation under the Income War Tax Act. Inasmuch, however, as many do not keep books, it has been difficult to ascertain the .amount "of their in- comes.' From the information dis- closed by the forms now being sent out the Finance Department will de- termine what individuals are liable totaxation and the amount of their taxes. - - CANADA —The judges of the Kitchener Hor- ticulturai.

Laidlaw of Westminster, who is taking down some of his herd of Swiss Brown Cattle, a novelty in this part . of the country. Mr. Laid- law is one of the three or four stock men in Ontario, who are raising this breed, and it is owing to requests from cattle growers in Quebec that he is showing this year in Toronto, their in- tention being to introduce the Swiss Brown in the lower provinces. Owing to the fact that so few Swiss Brown herds are :being raised up to the pre- sent time, there is no special entry class for them this year at the Na- tional Exhibition. —Miss May Whittaker of Sandwich, has been decorated with the Order of The British Empire by King George.
