THE WAR SITUATION
The news from the seat of war dur-
ing the past week has been more of a
political than a military nature. An
ever increasing number of reports sup-
posed to originate from a 'German
souree tell of great unrest in that
country. Ludendorff,, quarter -master
General of the German Army is known
to nave resigned, but whether his res-
ignation was cvoluntary or forced we
have no means of knowing, but his re-
moval may a a sign that the people
are beginning to lose faith in military
Hien, as Ludendorff was the acknow-
ledged brains of the German General
staff, and he has practically acted as
a dictator for the past year or more.
Conditions in Germany may be what
they are made to appear in the reports
and that there inay have been actual
uprisings against the military and the
Kaiser, but it not wise to take at its
face value all the news that comes
from Germany about great political
changes that are described as the re-
sult of the war failure. That Germany
is near the end of her fighting. powers
,cannot be questioned, but we should
remember that the crookedness and
worse that was found in her fighting,
is also more than likely to be found in
her diplomaey.
The Allied Conference held et Ver
aailles during the week is said to have
completed the armistice terms, and is
now engaged with the peace terms,
should Germany accept the armistice.
It is stated that Germany will receive
;the armistice terms and peace terms
`cif he Allied powers together, so that
shwill know what are the peace grin-
ci es to which she is binding herself,
efore she agrees to an armistice,
'eh will render her absolutely un-
able to take up arias again. Thus Ger-
many will know if she signs the armis-
tice, exactly the peace temps she will
be compelled to accept. Likewise
should she refuse to sign the armistice
and fight on, she will do so with the
full knowledge that the longer she con-
tinues the struggle, the sterner will be
the terms. What the armistice terms
are has not been divulged, but a part
of the terms are understood to include
the occupation by allied forces of all
the fortified towns on the Rhine; the
disarmament' and demobolization of
the German army except so far as it is
considered necessary to maintain in-
ternal order; the evacuation Eof Alsace-
Lorraine, as well as the Oohing of the
;Krupp works at Essen and other arm-
•
ament centres in Germany. Regarding
the naval securities of the armistice,
much less has been heard, but it is
said that the. Allies will insist on the
interment of all German U-boats in
.Allied harbors and that the German
fleet be demobolized and that the Al-
lies will have the right to use all the
suitable German naval vessels for the
tremendous tush of mine sweeping a-
round the British Isles and other wat-
ers. Whether Germany and the Ger-
man people are prepared to accept
these rigid terms, will remain a secret
for some time, but it is believed that
the armistice terms and peace princi-
ples be communicated to Germany
at once and it is possible an answer
will be received within a week.
In the meantime there has been no
let up in the Allied pressure against
the enemy on all fronts. In fact the
pressure has been z.o severe and the
damage and loses so great against the
Austrians and Turks that their com-
plete surrendeiz may be looked for any
day.
in every stage of development from
blossoms to large, ripe berries. The,
mature fruit was well formed and as
well developed as that of the, early
crop in July. It is comparatively
common to pick raspberries in the fall
as there is one species which seems to
keep bearing until the snow flies, but
it is rarer to see a .ripe strawberry
in October."

Letter of Sympathy.—The following
is a copy of a letter of sympathy sent
to Mrs. E. Robinson, on the death of
her husband, by the Blyth Order of
Foresters: "There are times when
obituaries become an imperative duty,
and a conviction of this is the motive
that governs us on this occasion. We
have not the gift of eulogy and will
not attempt to deliver an oration, but
lay on the memorial urn a few gar-
lands of regard and. affection to the
memory of our deceased brother, Earn.

during the effort to lighten the load to
ameliorate the condition and advance

better for his advocacy and labors as

are sure clear of offense either toward

aching voil in the community in which
he was known and served and in the
hearts of the dear ones to whom he

his generous nature. Grief, as oppres-

preciation. -

A Tribute to the Late Dr. McDiar-
mid,—A very agreeable ' association
professionally, with the late Dr. Mc-
Diarmid, and a fine appreciation of his
worth, are my reasons for these few
Wien In the passing of Dr. McDiar-
mid, the medical profession. has lost
one of its ,-most esteemed members,
while Hensel' and its vicinity has lost
one of its most devoted friends. As
a physician, Dr. McDiarmid was cau-
tious, painstaking and conscientious,
and his judgment was always good. It
was however, his qualities of mind and
heart .that impressed me the most.
There was , no one who reminded me
so much of Dr. McClure (Bonny Briar
Bush), as Dr. McDiarmid, in his zeal
and anxiety for the welfare of his pa-
tients, regardiees of his own interest
and comforts. With forty years of a
busy practice, Dr. McDiardnid might
have ,been one of the wealthy men in
his locality, had he so chosen, but he
preferred to die a poor man, although
happily, a burden on the charity of no
one. The maxim, "Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof" is regarded by
most people as a fire ethical prineiple,
but few care to put it into actual prac-
tice. To those who knew hien, the doc-
tor, had a keen sense of humor, while
his fund of anecdotes and reminisen-
ceS made him an entertaining and a -
g. eeable companion. It goes without
saying that the late Dr. McDiarmid
will for long have a monument in the
heart's of the people. -e -W. Gunn, Clin-
ton. -

e Late Dr. McDiarenid.—In last
we issue we mentioned the illness
of an J. McDiarmid and just a line
as 111c, his passing away just after re-
por ing his illness and the following
reg rding his life will no doubt be of
iht rest to his many friends and one -
tin patients through many parts of
th county. Dr. 1V1cDiartnid. was one
of he pioneer residents of our village
loc ting here over forty years ago
w n there Were very few houses, con -
ti mg in active Dractiese until !two
or three years age, when bonle his
lth and eyesight began to fail him,
a. ataract completely obscuring the
t -of one eye while another, was
fo ming on the other and about -Ono
rs ago he had one of the cataracts
removed -which' gave him the sight of
one eye, but his heelth continued' to
become worse so that he was obliged
to give up .his practice. The doctor
was. the youngek of a family of nine,
his --parents ,having emigrated from
Scotland, and his parental home was
near Carleton Place in the Ottawa dis-
trict. In early life he taught school
for some time, afterwards attending
the 'University and graduating in due
time from McGill University as one
of the bright young doctors of that
famed institution, he for a short time
practiced in Orford. county, not far
from Woodstock, but came here as we
have- mentioned over forty Wears ago
and succeeded in establishing a good
practice, and by his kind sympathetic
manner and careful watchfulness and
live interest, in the welfare of his pa-
tients, coupled with his great generos-
ity to the poor, and more than mode
erate charges to all, became most de-
servedly highly esteemed as a doctor;
while as a citizen and friend he was
prized for his many noble characteris-
tics, and it was only those who knew
him well before his illnees, that knew
him in all his admirable quatties as
continued illness and nervousness re-
sulting from soxne, quite changed him
during the past year or two mid he
lost the bright animation and fund of
jokes and anecdotes that made him
such an agreeable companion te his
friends. In religion he was a Presby-
terian and in politics a staunch. Re-
former, having been president of the
local Reform Association for many
years. He was! also medical health of-
ficer for a, long term of years until in
fact his health failed him, and was an
honored and enthusiastic member of
the Masonic Order, Oddfellows Lodge
and Rebekahs, serving as District Dep-
uty Grand Master in the Od-dfellows,
and he will be greatly missed from our
village and community, where he re-
sided so long, and where he gave so
many years of his best life in service
without any desire to amass weal',
in fact he was too good to his friends
from a pecuniary point of view and as
a consequence left no estate worth
mentioning over and above what would
cover all expenses, but ae a bachelor
he had no one to feel the loss in that
respeet. The funeral, which was a
private one owing to the influenza epi-
demic, was held on Saturday afternoon
last and -the pallbearers were brother
Masons and-Oddfellows in the persons
of William McKay, G. C. Petty, Geo.
Brown, James 'Priest,' John Fitegeraid I
and G. j. Sutherland, and the gasket
bore beautiful wreaths from the Odd -
fellows, Masons and Rebekah. Lodges,
Rev. Mr. MeConnell of Carmel church,
conducted set short.service in which he
paid a high tribute to the worth of
the late Dr. MeDiarmid who he said
had never , refused to answer to any
call no matter what the; conditions of
the roads' or weather and without any
thought as to whether he would ever
receive any re umeration or not, and
one with whom honor and desire to do
good counted ore than money; and
whom he foun well versed in the
scriptures having a wonderfully good
memory for one who had attained the
age of -74 years of active like.
