R>=',l>s1STRpt leaN DAY
In North Huron Will Be Saturday
June 22nd
a
Many >'eaders are no doubt aware that
a registration of the man and woman,
power of the Dominion will take place
some time in ,iuue,-probably° on Satur-
day, Jtine'2'2-and that arrattgcmeuts are
already under way by Mr. H. Bellamy,
the Registrar recently appointed for
North Huron, to have this very important
work done here. This registration is be-
ing made in order. that the information so
obtained may be utilized to proceed in-
telligently with the mobilization of the
entire resources of the nation. towards the
successful prosecution of the war. Data
of military value will be secured, but the
main purpose to be served by this census
of the males and females in Canada over
18 years of ags will undoubtedly be the
better distribution of agricultural and
industrial labor to the end of securing the
maximum results from the productive
labor of the Canadian people - especially
as regards the essentials of the war. One
of the most beneficial results which 'it is
expected will follow the Census will be a
more efficient organization of the agri-
cultural forces of the country, becoming
daily more imperative in view of the
constantly diminishing food reserves of
the Allies, and the iminence of a food
shortage which threatens our food popula-
tion.

THE WINO."( A. Ai A,DVANO.
The Registrar is appointing deputy
registrars and assistant deputy registrars
in sufficient numbers to register the entire
population. Registration offices or booths
will be opened in conveniently situated
locations -in school houses, halls, etc., in
every municipality and certificates of
registration will be issued in every
registrant.
In order to facilitate this gigantic task
school teachers and Red Cross workers
are being asked to take charge in every
district and a hearty response is being
received from them, all expressing their
willingness to assign their remuneration
to the Red Cress. The registration offices
will
b
eke topen from7am. to
m.,
hence the necessity of providing lighting
facilities for registration places. School
hoards in rural sections who have been
asked for their schools will please snake,
note of this, In Si'inghain and Goderich
and probably several other places down-
town booths will be opened for several
evenings to give the working men a
chance to register and on the Saturday all
the schools and booths will be in full
s wing.
While non -registration entails many
penalties of the most serious character, it
is expected that the Canadian people will
look upon registration as a great national
duty to be performed, not out of a sense
of compulsion, •but rather in a spirit of
pure. patriotism, as an act of encourage-
ment to out gallant overseas defenders
The registration of the man and woman
power of Canada will go forth to the
world as the solemn:expression of Canada's
unalterable determination to support
her own and the allied armies until the
final victory.

compared to those now being made by
Canadian manhood in the forefront of the

value in maintaining the splendid morale
of our unsurpassed citizen soldiers to
know that for whotn they are fighting on
the fields of France and Flanders are not
recreant to the solemn duty of the hour in

the exercise of every generous and high

On Dec. 14 the P'u-t'eo-ho river

owing to the blockage of ice. The
villagers suddenly found water pour-
ing into the streets and into the
houses. The men had all they could
do to rescue their women, children
and old folks, getting them on to the
roofs of the houses.
There, on the roofs, in bitter cold,
they lived and slept for three days.

they have 'gotten back into the
houses, where the ice under their
feet is one or two, or even; three feet
deep. Most of their belongings .are
buried in this ice. They are eating
a watery concoction of dead leaves.

almost certain to overflow again.

In this district of Anp'ing there
are over 100,000 people in distress
owing to the floods. One hundred

it is only a small number that have
suffered from this last calamity of
ice. About 40 villages are in extreme
distress. The people are reduced to
burning the timbers of their houses
and their fruit trees. There has, of
course, already been wholesale
slaughtering of animals throughout
the flooded areas, so that it is a ser-

One has to be inside of a tank and
feel that .strange, gliding motion
with which it goes along before he
can realize what a tremendously ef-
fective war Machine it ie. And as
tho sightseer stoops within, those
steel walls he perhaps has a queer
feeling of reminiscence, for some an-
cestor of his hundreds of years ago
may have gone to attack walled
cities or to bridge the entrenchments
of the foe in just such an engine of
destruction as this. The tank, as we
call it to -clay, retains some of the
principles of the battering rams of
ancient days. It is not unlike those
armored and protected platforms
used by. armed men of old in over-
coming fortress and castle. There Is
a wheeled war machine illustrated
in an ancient tome, "Be Re Mil;
earl," published in 1534, whish was
obtained from the library of Whitney
Warren, The picture of tho device
;shows that thio old-time tank was
of about the same size as the modern
device. Jt was , closed van, heavily
wr:rrored for thoke clays, and propel-
led by a, tread17.11l device within,
which kept its wheels in motion, As
is set forth in the Latin text of the
book, it was atrle to cross ditches;
eyes,
it had lines gtialrt.d not unlike e Y
from which darts and arrows and
even heavy shafts could bo discharg-
ed. A formidable aid to warfare It
was in its day, although it was not
until recently that its, importance was
realized. Mobile land forts have been
used from time itemeniorial. The
tank is fot't and crufser.--Shangbai
