County CouncillorsPap
At the closing session of the Hur-
-
•en County Council, held in Goderich
• last week, the, question of remunera-
thni for councillors' and warden was
discussed at some length, and al-
thotigh no action was taken, it seem-
ed to be the general consensus of
opinion that neither the warden nor
councillors were paid an indemnity
that measured up to the duties and
responsibilities of their Offices.
• With that we quite agree, provid-
ing always that the warden and
,cOuncillors themselves measure up to
their duties «and responsibilities.
County business is still big business,
even if the cotincits in recent years
have been deprived of many actiVi-
tieS and fields of legislation by the
Provincial • government, which has
centralized theta in Toronto.
This Centralizing of county busi-
n s has been a,e6mplaint of county
'ttmcils for some years, regardless
of the fact that these same councils
have petitioned the Government to
• assume resposibility for some legis-
lation formerly under their jurisdic-
tion and have sat mute and quiescent
when other legislation hasbeen mov-
ed down to Toronto.
• But, as we say, county •council
business is still .big business. Big en-
ough, at least, to constantly require
able, honest and responsible men to
administer it. And it is neither hon-
est nor reasona,ble to ask men of that
calibre to give their time and ser-
vices for nothing, or next door to it,
particularly in a county like Huron,
-which requires the best brains and
can well afford to pay for, them.
• In the early' days the position of
county councillor was one of the
highest offices in the gift of the peo-
• ple, and was a position eagerly
sought by many of the most able and
successful men, in both the agricul-
tural and business fields, but that
day has apparently passed.
• Life is more complex now •and
there are many more fields and
• angles connected with it. The cost of
living is, decidedly higher and the -
time and labor of meeting that cost
-decidedly more exacting and difficult
than it was some years ago. Fewer
and fewer men have been able to find
either the time or the money to spend
• on outside work, even as important
• as that of the county.
• For that reason the calibre, of
many county councils has necessarily
• suffered to some extent. For that
-reason it is possible that if the in-
demnity was raised on a Plane with
the duds and i'esponsibilities of the
office and the ;time it requires to ful-
fill • them, county council business
might again attract the best and
most able. • '
At the least it is written, "the lab-
orer is worthy of his hire," and coun-
• ty ' councillors, as far as Huron is
concerned, have never been paid on
that basis.
•
Too Much*Blathering
On the editorial page of Monday's
" Globe and Mail, that paper reprints
an editorial from the Edmonton
•Journal, carrying the above heading,
which says:
"An Eastern writer has come to
the conclusion that people talk too
much because the authorities do not
tell them enough. We doubt if even
the fullest Government statements
would stop gossiping and rumor -
mongering. Many people would start

One Of The Reasons
We have been hearing with in-
creasing frequency in the past few
weeks that the people of Italy are
war weary and ready to quit.
Of onrse these things must be
taken with reserve because the peo-
ple of Italy really have very little to
say in the matter at the present
time, and perhaps for some time yet
in the future.
But undoubtedly that day will
dawn, and here are one of the reas-
ons: In an Asseciate Pres s despatch
from London, England, the folloW-
* ing information regarding Italian
loses was giVen: •
Sixty-six • Italian divisions, com-
prising about 594,600 men, have been
destroyed in Africa and Albania
since Mussolini entered the war.
__,..k4,Lwas explained that a division,
tinien in the Italian army averages
about 9,000 men is considered de-
stroyed in a military sense when it
is so severely mauled it must be re-
formed. Also that some •of Italy's
• 39 white and 27 native African divi-
sions listed as destroyed were wiped
- out completely.
The grouping of Italian losses was
as follows:
Albanian campaign—eleven metro-
politan divisions.
East Africa campaign twelve
metropolitan and twenty-five native
African divisions.
North African campaigns—six-
teen metropolitan and two native
African divisions, -
The ItaltasirtosSes in. Russia were
• not calculated, but it is known that
ten Italian divisions are operating
there.
Those are staggering losses, even
for a country of Italy's population,
and when its _ considered that l
•Italy has got out of the war, besid
• these losses, is the doubtful privilege
Of having her country completely,
ruled by the Germans, it is really not
• surprising that there are rumors
coming out of Italy about unrest and
war weariness in that country.
•
An Optimist
Since the recent war news from
RuSsia, Africa and other points has
taken a decided turn for the better,
there hasn't been just quite as much
pessimism in our World outlook.
But for a real optimist we have to
cross over the border. Last week the
executive director of the St., Regis
Hotel in New York found this- re-
quest for a reservation,from a Pitts-
burg, Pennsylvania, business man:
"I want you to reserve a double
room, sitting room and bath, about
the third, fourth or fifth floors on
the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th
Streets, foe at least a day before and
• two days after the Victory Parade,
which will be held in New York at
the conclusion of the war.'' •
That is what we call a real' op-
timist, and we hope the parade comes
along' before the Government col:
• lects all his spending money in ex-
• cess profit taxes.
•
- Quite True
The St. Louis Times remarks that
"Home is a place where ^ a 'man may
say anything he pleases in all free'
• dom and with impunity, because no
one' will pay the slightest attentioti
to him."
That is quite true and it is really
too bad that a great many men could
not be confined to their homes for the
duration at least.
We would make a far better job of
• winning the war and do it mueh fast-
er too, if a great many Men's' fault-
finding and quack sa,3ringa arld opin-

'Eleven o'clock arrived. The major
gave the word and one by one the
teams and wagons' moved forward in-
to their place in the column of. route.
We turned off the ,Arras road to the
south in a moonless night, dark with
clouds, and wound along county roads
until we came to a paved highway,
which we recognized as the road from
Arras to St. Pol. After a .,time%we
reached Berles, and there we spent
the remainder of the night and all the
next day. At night we resumed Our
march. • No one Was walking — all
rode 'on either horses •or limbers, lest
marchers afoot become lost in the
darkness. In spite of precautions, one
gunner did stray from the battery, but
he rejoined us later in Boves Wood.
We 'rode, three on a limberc. and soon
bedtime sleepy. We would doze off
and wake with the sensation of fell-
jng to one Side at the jolts .of the
wagon. So we spent the time in a
struggle against sleep, 'Occasionally
we halted to give the horses a rest,
and the N.C.O.'s and officers, inspect -
cd the animals and looked at the men
in the light of • a candle lantern, to
see whether all were there. The rest
of us snatched a few minutes' repose,.
soon interrupted by the command to
march. At last came daWn on August
3rd. 'halted on the outskirts of a
village called Amplier, ereetedhorse-
lines, watered and fed our animals.
Then we could partake of the break-
fast prepared in the meantime by the.
cooks. At last, after twenty-four
.hours of waking, we Were able to un-
roll our blankets in a shed and Wrap
them about our weary bodies.
It seemed only a few moments un-
til an irritating note thirst on our
eare; that of the reveille bugle. It
was 1 p.m. and' we had slept six
hours, much too short a time for our
weariness. We arose relliatintly and
set about our work, attended to the,
horses and examined their -hoofs' for
loose shoes and other signs of trtni-
ble. Dinner folloWed: potatoes . and
meat with bread, pudding and tea, and

That afternoon we inspected and
checked our eguiptnent. • At dusk we
were again on the -March. Through
the night we rode, talking sometimes,
brit generally silent in our weariness.
Once or twice we would. jump off the
wagons and walk behind, to relieve
th,e monotony of the struggle against
sleep.. At last the night .disappeared,
and in the light of dawn, August 4th,
we stopped beside the wood of Vig-
naucourt. We attended to the horses,
took breakfast, put up tarpaulins
against threatening rain and went to
sleep. ••.:
•In all too short a- time •we rose
again at ,the sound of, the bugle and
cared for the animals: A ruin was
visible in the distance, and a gunner
suggested a visit to it. His comrades,
with weariness in their bones, re-
plied: "Yes, bring it to, us and may-
be we'll"lo,ok at it!" At dark we
were once, more on the. march, and all
that night we fought off the intense
longing for slumber.. A halt provid-
ed an opportunity for some gunners
to purloin a box of 1VIab-onochie tins
belonging to the Army Service Corps,
and their contents were quite useful
to .hungry stomachs.• During another
halt, in a village, we saw shell -holes
in a wall and a dispute arose about,
their -date. One gunner walked over
to -them, returned •and settled the
question by a grave announcement,
"Yes, they're still hotr by way of a
touch of huitor. . One village we tra-
versed whose name we were able ,to
see, Picquigny, which provoked the
remark "Pickaninny.!' Presently we
observed a sign pointing to the east
"Amiens," and in that direction we
travelled. We did not enter the city
itself, but skirted it to the south .and
continued on our way. Darkness pass-
ed into dawn, and yet we were march-
ing, wishing desperately for 'a' rest.
About seven o'clock of August 6th, we
turned 'tip a long hill -and entered a
wood, and there we received the wel-
come order to halt for the day and
the night. We established Mir horse
lines inside this Boves wood, attend-
ed to the animals and had breakfast.
We of the staff put up a tarpaulin
over a pole between two trees, and,
secure of the next twenty-folir hours,
unfolded' our blankets and passed id.
