HARVEST IN FLANDERS
In Flanders' field's the crosses stand—
Strange harvest for a fertile land!
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! We do not know

points referred to by Mr,
Thomas Killon, In the course
of his presidential address at
the congress of the British Co-opera-
tive Union, held in Liverpool, recent-
ly, was that of the position of the
Union as a leading factor in public
affairs. It is a curious fact about the

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-

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

Socialism of
the Sword
HB war has developed In
Germany a new school of
socialism more militu,ristte
than thy most Ihiclebountl of
Junkers. Its ideal is a revolution of
the world to be brought about by tho
fulnlrilcut of Cerletany'tt destiny,
which it; the pu11tie:11 twat et'onolllietl
doininttlion of the world. The prin-
ciplee trf this IloW School and lea
I,to:le of rt.L:•:.nt•.,, ,:r,' shown in a
book called 'Attie,: Xearti of World
ltevolntiott,” by .l)r. Paul Lensch,
De. Lensch, ait,.r ttltivet.aity edu-
cation and some yi'1ua :spent in for-
eign travel and Socialist journailani,
entered the itt ielea .g at the last gt'II- )
:r:.l election I:1 1912. Ile is only
forty -live ye=ars old, but Is exempt -
from i'tiiitary dirty, although he. had
itis military training in a Prussian
(tuned realm •nt. Iie is one of tate '
i'•bltiel rept : selttalives in Germany of
the new Socialist school, which re'
gamin interntltlonalisul as obsolete
and bets it aside entirely in. favor of
a world dominated by Germany and
German principles and ideals.
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?
