Where once the wheat and barley grew, With scarlet poppies running through This year the poppies bloom to greet Not oats nor barley nor white wheat, But only crosses, row by row, Where stalwart reapers used to go. In Flanders' field no women sing, As once they sang, at harvesting; No men now come with scythes to mow The little crosses, row by row. The poppies wonder why the men And women do not come again! In Flanders, at the wind's footfall, The crosses do not bend at all, As wheat and barley used to do °Whenever wind went running through. The poppies wonder when they see The crosses stand so rigidly! O God, to whom all men must bring What they have done for reckoning. At harvest -time what byre or bin Have you to put these crosses in? What word for men who marched to sow Not wheat, but crosses, row by row? Alas! Our tears can never bring The men who came here harvesting And come no more!

AN OFFENCE PUNISH- ABLE IN TIIE MANNER AND BY THE PENALTIIbS provided in the last preceding section. ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, MILITARY SERVICE iBRANCH. and a capital of over £67,000,000, its influence is almost entirely provincial . and even parochial rather than na-a. tional. This Was strongly emphasis- ed, some months ,tgo, when the Union felt compelled to call an emergency meeting, in London, to yroteet against theretusalofthe Prime Minis- ter to receive a deputation, "and also against his persistent refusal to re- cognize the existence or usefulness of i the movement.” True, the protest 1 was largely based en a mistake, and the Prime Minister, in a subsequent 1 interview with the heads of the move- nlent, warmly acknowledged the ser- vices of the Union; but, in so far as there was any neglect, on the part of the authorities, it was largely due to the fact that the co-opei'alors have 1 not taken a wide enough view of their own calling as a factor in the l- national; as distinct from what may be called the municipal, life of the country. Mr, Killon, in his address, referred quite frankly to this question. The reason, be held, why co-operators had been ltsked by the Government to serve the country in an advisory capacity only, instead or being asked "to take the lead," was partly owing to the -want of cohesion in their own ranks, and he went on to ask if it would not be possible to institute a ;- •central authority, which would not only be able to speak for the whole movement in national affairs, but could also command obedience from the entire organization. The fact is, of course, that what - p ever views inay be held as to co- - operation in trade and commerce as a solution of all economic questions, the war is affording the co-operator a wonderful opportunity to prove his usefulness. In litany different ways, the stupendous superiority of co- operation over disassociated effort has been proved, during the last four years, but the co-operative movement in Great Britain seems to have stood somewhat aloof from it all, and to have failed to appreciate fully the connection between co-operative war effort and its own activities. The re- sult of this has been that, instead of taking the lead in supplying the country's needs, as the co-operator did so largely in Russia, during the early months of the war, through the Zemstvos under Prince Lvotf, and as he is doing so largely In France to- day, he has been reduced to the posi- tion of having to protest against the fact that his institution is largely ig- nored by the authorities. It is welcome, therefore, to find that the Co-operative Union is stead- ily awakening to the necessity of tak- ing a broader view of matters, as shown by the raising of such ques- tions as parliamentary representation and union with the Labor party; whilst such men as Mr. Killon warm- ly urge that the Union should take a "higher view of trade and com- merce," so that co-operators may help to give "a new, concrete, and solid foundation to the new world they desire to build." -- Using Home-made . Articles. Before the war, England, like the United States, preferred to buy cer- tain manufactured articles abroad rather than to make them, Magnetos and insulating inat'erials were pur- chased from America, Germany and Austria. Lensets for field glasses were imported ,from Germany. • Now these articles are being turn- ed out in the munition factories of Manchester. Field glass lenses have been giving better satisfaction to the army and navy than any of German manufacture. Screw milling is an- other war development. in England. Not one in 1,000 was ulade before In any other way than iii dies ty sktil- ed labor. To -day almost the entire supply of screws used in the country is made by the milling process, the machines being operated by unskill- ed workmen. Imitations of Mahogany. The name "mahogany" is applied commercially to more than fifty dif- •'erent woods. Perhaps half the lum- ber now sold under that name is not true mahogany, for the demand greatly exceeds the supply, The tree is native to only the lim- ited area between Southern Florida and Northern South America. No- where else does it really flourish. But the public will have mahogany. Women want it for furniture, busi- ness men prefer it for office fixtures, and teali and mahogany are rivals in the affections of shipbuilders. Therefore, substitutes flourish. It is not surprising that the real wood is so expensive, when It Is learned that it takes from 100 to 150 years for a mahogany tree to reach merchantable size. ;lost of the substitutes bear little more than a gena_r,.I resemblance to the genuine wood, but skilful finiell- tIlg makes tltenl very much alike, 1- »,8 can usually c.,s.i. >;u 1 betwee•. :hem by the aid of an matinee p: tdre l lens.

ACROSS THE WATERS (Continued from page 4.) me. 1 came off guard about 10,30 a. m, and the ocean is rougher and the boat is swaying more, August 7th, 1918. Well I am sick at the stomach to -day, could not eat hardly anything all day. We came nearly having a collision last night about midnight. One of our con- voys, (an american ship) shot across in front of us by mistake as it was foggy. The alarm was given and alt the ships showed speed but luckily there was no accident. The ocean is pretty rough to- day and there are a lot of sick men. We had a very heavy -thunderstorm last night and it is quite cold to -day, I think I told you Herb Hastings sleeps beside me and we sort of chum it,he is a good chum. Hope you are all well, good -night. August 8th. 1918. Well I do not feel sick, but I have no appetite and have not eaten anything to- day, The ocean is still rough. The cruiser which is escorting us over, sighted some kind of a vessel to -day and took after it but returned some time after with no loss, so I guess it was not an enemy, she did the same thing one day before. August 9th, 1918. Am not eating anything yet, I am not the least bit seasick though. The ocean is a little smoother t4 -day and the sun is warmer. The gunners were practising on our ship to -day and fired some 8 or 9 shots at targets. They made some noise believe me. August 10th, 1918, Am feeling good but not eating, I went to the doctor this morning. The ocean is very rough to -day and the air• is cold. Are having frequent showers but they only last a few minutes and then the sun comes out. We had a grand concert to- day, there is a bunch of fellows in the engineers who got it up in aid of the child- ren of men on battle -ships who get lost. They made $108 just from collections. They have the same concert for the same purpose on every voyage. I bought a few cakes at the canteen to -night and they went good. They say we will soon be to ' England just three or four days more. Expect the convoy to meet us to -morrow. We are quite safe. August lltb, 1918. This is Sunday again, suppose you were all at church. We had our usual church service this forenoon and a song service to -night, We are in the danger zone now and have to come off on top deck at 8 o'clock. I am feeling good but have a cold, I bought a can of salmon and a box of biscuit, for supper as I could not eat the meals we get, it certainly went good. The boat is rocking pretty well one of the boat crew died and they buried him in the ocean this morning. The con- voy has not met us yet though I think they soon will. August 12th 1918. Am feeling better to -day and eating more though I have a bad cold. The ocean is very smooth to -day and I be- lieve we are nearring land. Expect to arrive ih a couple of days. I intend to cable home as soon as I arrive. Another soldier died and was buried last night, and a couple more are very sick. Hope you are well, We heard more good news from England to -day. August 13th, 1918. We are in the Irish Sea and expect to come into harbor at Liverpool sometime to -morrow night and disembark on Thurs- day. The sea is smooth but the wind is very high to -day. Seven sub -chasers met us last night, so we are safe. I wish I had the Westlake boys' address if they are still in England as I may be able to see them in my holidays. I think we get a week to go any place. Tindall McKercher and I are going to send a cablegram together so hope you both hear alright. Another dead man today. A pigeon came and lit on ship to -day. August 14th, 1918. I am well with the 'exception of a cold. It is very foggy but the water is smooth. Some more destroyers met us to -day We are going to land to -night, all well. We are busy today getting cleaned up. etc. Got a hair cut this morning. Tindal Mc- Kercher and I put in our message this fore- noon, It will go as soon as we land. He had no money so I paid till he gets his pay. It only cost us $2.80 altogether so that's nothing. I thought that you would like to hear that we were safe in England I have lots of money. I hope you are all well. Remember me to all and tell them to write soon to the address I gave you. Be sure to write right away. We miss the mail. Tell me if any of these letters are struck off. I will have to close as we are in a hurry. Good-bye. Love to all from Your son and brother, Willie Bolt. Wll)fe Damm Dead Willie Damm, brother of Mr. Harvey Damm of Walkerton, died at the private hospital of Mrs. Goodfellow here on Sun- day last in his 18th year, The deceased, who was born in Ayton, came to Walker- ton with his parents about ten years ago, and for the past four years had been at- tending the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Belleville, where about six months ago he tooki t rr of the stomach and 'ilwith cash for which he underwent treatment in the Belleville Hospital for six weeks. He re- covered sufficiently to return to his studies, and although deprived of both speech and hearing he was a bright stu- dent and succeeded in passing into the H, S. entrance class at the last midsummer exams. Returning to Walkerton, his health steadily declined and heart failure setting in on Sunday last brought about his death. Besides his father, Mr. John C 1a mm ofChesleyr h e leaves five e brothers and two sisters as following: Har- vey of Walkerton, George of Wingham, Wilfrid with theSiberian contingent, Mar- vel of Ayton, Cora, Howard and Emmer- son of Chesley, all of whom attended the funeral to the Walkerton cemetery on Monday afternoon --Walkerton Herald. .�N�H;,f�P • e' , •:;' !^•f, {eH-„�t.RM;.-�.1�..� +e ! r1�r.lN�.� f Pjt Socialism of the Sword HB war has developed In Germany a new school of socialism more militu,ristte than thy most Ihiclebountl of Junkers.

Whereas SoclalioIn ]las hitherto been regarded as a war on capital- ism, German Socialism and German capitalism are now declared by L,'::.nclt in hitt book to be in alliance tar revolutionary and progressive German Socialit;tti is no longer thtr twenty of tete Prussian state, but i$ its enthtiehtetic supporter and de- , e,to accomplish Germany's full :'�stiny" and revolutionize the world. According to Lensch, the present war is a natural explosion in which the organized German state is de- stroying "reaction" as represented by the old Russia on the ono hand and British world power on the other. Protectionism as opposed to free trade is the basis of German organi- zation, Hence, the war is a conflict between protection and free trade, the latter representing reaction. • He describes German development as follows: "Quite obviously the point of pr'o- tection--iudustrial protection --- was directed against England. Protec- tion kept foreign industrial products from the home market and gave' our own industry predominance and then complete domination or the German market, At the same time it created the conditions -that gave German in- dustry an organized superiority over English industry. The main factor was the close cohesion of industry and Ilirance. The early and close al- liance of industry and finance led to that organization of industry in car- tels and syndicates which became characterintit' for tilt' modern devel- opir.tart of enpital. Organized indus- try, when foreign competition was warded off by protection, was able at. th.' , •:110 time to produce more Oleo and yet to raise prices in the :twee Market." Lensch describe" enthusiastically the tyranny of the German cartels and the way in which they dominated the market, fixed I,: ices and made "gigantic profits." These profits were now used for the conquest of the foreign market. The powerfully extended and ex- tremely efficient German industries required meta, business than the horse markt could give them. So they began to work for the foreign market, and, in order to meet com- petition there, the cartel created for its member who :vete working in foreign countries a special fund, which was fed from the extra profits of the house ma r11ct. From this fund the cartel paid the so-called export prentiurus. \Vith thin support be- hind them, the German industrialists were very soon able to appear in the foreii,n market and, there to sell their goods more cheaply than in the Ger- man market. Ther; was no longer any question of protecting the home market; it Wit ,Inlr•ely- a question of attacking the roreign market. Pro- tection, which was intended to break the monopoly of the superior English industry and to create free corlpeli- tion for German industry, was con- verted into the monopoly of a hand- ful of cartel magnates, and had fin- ally driven free .:o:upetition out of the German market," But, as Lensch says, this was by no. means the end of the process, The former Berlin cpi•responden( for the London Times, commenting on the matter says: "For the purposes of fighting the competition which Germany had cre- ated in the foreign market the whole resources of the German state were brought to bear. The German cus- toms duties went on rising and 'the higher the duties the higher were the extra profits in the home market, the higher the German -export premiums, and the more powerful the position of Germany in the world market," Lomeli continues: " 'This tight for the world Market and the money market was conducted more and more with the resources of the o:•ganized power of the state.' "Crisis followed crisis, and, after Europe had twice in ten years nar- rowly escaped war, 'the third time what was inevitable became a fact'." The writer, concluding his analy- sis, says this of the work; "The importance of Lenseh's 'book lies in its candid, if boisterous, ex- pression of what the ordinary (ler- man Socialists think but do not dare to say, and in its penetrating analy- sish economic foundations of t o eco o cf 0 militarism. Lensch regards England as the one great enemy, and he ex- pects that England after the war will adopt protection and be 'rejuvenated' by faithful imitation of the Whole Prussian state system, economic and military. What he has never attempt - cd to face is tho possibility that Ger- many's enemies will achieve real eronontic unity and destroy the Ger- man system in the only way by which it can be destroyed -by the destruc- tion of iteyeonoluic foundations Donated a Pig A farmer in the vicinity of Listowel is reported to have told the lady Canvassers for the sailor's fund that he was not pre. pared to give a cash donation but pointing to a livelylooldng porker told them if they t old catch the pig they could have it. The girls were sports and started the chase; how long it lasted, the girls will not State but anyhow they accompanied the pig to town and are now feeding it up and purpose disposing of it on fair day, What farmer in Wingham vicinity will give a pig to the game cause?
