VICTIM OF THE FLU
Some time ago Tit ie. Aiz es:el l.; reported
the passing; of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Ureh
at their home in 'Winnipeg. This week
Mrs Urch's mother, Mrs, William At-
tridge, a former respected citizen of Wing-
ham, has mailed us the:following account
of their deaths:
'The home of Mrs. Wm. Attridge, near
Rapid City, Man., has again been sad:
denee by a double bereavement, death
claiming for its victims her eldest daugh-
ter and son-in-law, Mr, and Mrs. Urch of
Winnipeg, Man; Mr. and M r s Urch
were taken to Winnipeg General Hospital,
Nov. 23rd, also their 13 months old baby
to St, George's Hospital suffering froth in-
fluenza. Mrs. Attridge, being a t once
summoned, left for the city and waswith
them during their illtlr,'s.e Mr. and
1Jrch developed pneumonia and Mr. Urch
soon succumbed to its deadly grasp, pass-
ing peacefully away at 5 a m' on Nov.
20th.
Mrs. Urch was not informed of her
husband's death and, though very low,
- continued to rally, having over three
quarts of fluid taken from her lungs. Her
friends still held out hopes of her recovery
but she realized death was near. She
asked her mother (who remained at her
bedside till the end came) to care for her
baby girl and not to worry for her as she
was going home to sheet her brothers and
loved ones, and with her weak voice tried
to sing praises to God, who kindly took
her to himself at 3 a. in., Dec. 5th.
Mr. Attridge was wired and at once left
'for Winnipeg to be with his wife, who was
in a very weakened condition and to ar-
range for the -Istria' of the deceased, whose
bodies embalmed in their caskets were
conveyed to Rapid City and laid to rest
-beside their soldier brother on Dec. 11th.
Mrs. Attridge Lias borne a double share
of sorrow during the past few months,
having lost two sons, her father, daughter
andson-in-law since April, 1917.
Mr. Urch was born' in Dublin, Ireland,
in 1885 and first came to Canada in 1903,
spending the intervening years in Toronto,
-the Cobalt mining district and the West.
ern Provinces. He returned to the old
• Iand in 1910 and after the death of his
father in 1912 he again sailed for Canada,
landing in Toronto, and in 1914 came
west to Rapid City.
Mrs. Urch was born at Wingham, Ont„
in 1890 and when only ten days old she
lost her father. his death also being due to
La Grippe. Deceased, then Lillian May
Kinsman, resided with her mother until
taking a position in Toronto in 1908 and
the following year was married to Thomas
J. Irwin of Toronto, who predeceased her
in 1913. In 1914 she along with her sis-
ter, Olive, two brothers Willie and klart-
•well, (both of whom laid down their lives
in this great war) and Mr. Urch, came, to
Rapid City and in October of the same
year she and Mr. Urch were married.
They rernoved. to Winnipeg some three
years ago and remained their until the
• • . time of their death. Left to mourn their
loss is their orphan daughter, who has re-
cover'ed from the flu and is now at the
home of her grandparents; Mrs Urch's
mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Wm,
Attridge, Rapid City; her four sisters and
one brother, Mrs, Howard S. Henry of
Rosebank, Man., Pearl, May. Erena and
John at home; also three sisters and two
brothers of Mr. Urch, Mrs. E. Sage,
Westerville, Ohio. Mrs. Goode, M r s•
Sproule and Robert of Dublin, Ireland,
and Mr. Wm. G. of Toronto. -Rapid City
Reporter.
One by one my loved ones are taken,
And my life is filled with grief,
But some day soon I too shall follow,
Then this sad heart shall find relief.
-Mother.
Wake Up, Canada
The value of the whiskey business may
be feebly understood when we read that
the American whiskey ring has organized
a billion dollar campaign fund to fight the
bone dry measure in every State of the
Union and through the highest courts of
the land. What they are fighting for is
the perpetuity of the privilege of debauch-
ing the nation, The American people are
getting wise to the nature of the serpent
they have lived with so long to their own
undoing,
Ran Out Of Owen Sound
Joseph Weber, reeve of Neustadt, while
attending Grey County Council at Owen
Sound last week, was arrested on five sedi•
tious charges, and was allowed out on bail
of $2,000. Ilis son, Elmer Weber, has
been under arrest as a deserter from the
army. On Thursday night a number of
returned soldiers and others ran Reeve
Weber out of Owen Sound, and be walked
alongthe railway track nine miles toShal-
low Late, where he is said to have spent
the remainder of the night in a shed, going
home to Neustadt by the early morning
train. It is stated that Weber has con-
tracted pneumonia as a result of his night
out.

TIM WI NG HAM Ai.,,VANOR
THE MAN OI THE CRUTCH
Do you often read of some gallant deed
"Out there," on the Fields of France?
Of the men who fought till the Ilun wa
caught,
AU ready to take their chance?
Do you ever hear of the ringing cheer
They gave, as they marched -to die?
Do you understand that they've saved
our land•_. - •
As "the man on the crutch" goes by?
Do you see them now as their bodies bow
'Heath wounds that they bravely bear?
Do you. shed a tear, as you're standing
near, /
These men who have done their share?
Or are you the kind they so often find,
Who never will heave a sigh,
But turn away with no word to say,
As "the man on the crutch" goes by?
Have you seen them stand, in their native
land,
An object of scorn -not grief?
While the people stare, as they see them
there,
As though they beheld a thief!
They are treated not as the men who
fought,
But more as a tramp --and why?
They deserve all fame, -••-yet some gaze
with shame
As "the man on the crutch" goes by.
"Tis a burning blot on our flag; a. thought
No patriot e'er can hold -
That such men as these, home from over-
seas,
Can act as•we're sometimes told!
Suppose they do have a scrap or two,
And blacken some shirker's eye. -
It will teach respect -he will not object
As "the man on the crutch" goes by!
In the days to come, when the rolling
drum
And Gabriel's trumpet calls -
When the ranks march on, in the rosy
dawn,
To Paradise's marble halls-
Those who scoff and scold will be `calmly
told;
"There's no room for your kind, on
High!"
$ut-the Lord will 1 wait at the Golden
Gate,
As the "man on the crutch" goes by!

Past Peace Conferences
- Differed in Character,
But Were Always Secret
,,,,..„,..,...,,,..,......:.,..:.,:.,..,.4..,..„..:4.:,......
FROM
the story of the peace
conferences whieh have tertn.
mated &c nt. war,,, no gen-
oral lino of procedure for the
settlement of the differences arising
out of the World War can be fore-
shadowed, Even a military armistice
does not always follow peace par -
'eye, When Mr. Roosevelt intervene
to Put an end to tho Russo-Japanese
war, hostilities dragged on for a
long tinse while delegates were jour-
neying to Portsmouth, U.S.A., and
It was there arranged that fighting
should only cease when the actual
peace treaty was signed.
The most important peace confer-
ence was that whieh settled the
I3alkan War. The delegates of Tar.
key, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece
met at St. James' Palace, London,
and, after discussing terms for some
weeks, failed to agree upon them.
The conference was opened by Sir
Edward Grey, who welcomed the
delegates in a speech that was given
to the -public, but afterwards nego-
tiations were conducted in private.
This is the nearest approach to pub-
licity that has yet been reached,
Although there is the classic in-
stance of Bisnsark's brutality in con-
ducting negotiationv with prostrate
Pranee°in 1871, the meeting of dele-
gates, as a rule, tend, to relax per-
sonal hostility. While war is on it Is
a cringe td hold communication with
enemy subjects. During the Balkan
War peaee negotiations in Loudon we
saw the Turkish delegate sitting with
the Bulgarian, Serbian, and Greek
plenipotentiaries at the Mansion
House table, snaking guarded friend-
ly references to each other, and quite
throwing aside their Standoffishness
under the exhilarating influence of
the Lord Mayor's champagne A little
later, the peace negotiations having
failed, the delegates were back In •
their camps again. The day of the
friendly nod had gone, and they stu-
diously avoided taking the same
trains back to their respective capi-
tals io report their lack of success.
The Balkan peace was eventually
signed at Bucharest.
The peace that closed the Boer
War was arrived at without the Brit-
ish and Boer delegates corning to a
formal round table, Mr. Schalk Bur-
ger and a few prominent Boers came
into Pretoria under the white flag on
March 23rd, 1902. They said they
wanted peace, and Lord Milner, re-
presenting the civil government, mad
Lord Kitchener, representing the
military authorities, gave theta a
safe-conduct to Kroomstad, in the
Orange River Colony, to consult oth-
er Boer leaders. Fighting went on.
In May Botha, De Wet, Delarey,
Smuts and Hertzog, who had been
allowed to hold their peace confer-
ences• at Vereeniging, left that little
Vaal river hamlet, and took into Pre-
toria their considered appeal for
peace.' The home government was
consulted on it, and their answer
was taken back to Vereeniging,
where they decided to surrender un-
conditionally, and returned to Pre-
toria to sign the peace document be-
fore Lord Milner and Kitchener on -
May aLst. This peace, though based
on those terrible military conditions
of "unconditional surrender" was a
very generous one, and the British
Government gave :83,000,000 for the
repatriation needs, of the people
against whom we had been warring.
This treatment and the establishment
of a Union of South Africa, which
speedily followed, settled an unhappy
war in a way that made South Africa
a source of strength to us in the
Great War in Europe.
There have been cases where a
peace treaty concluded by belliger-
ents has been revised by the Great
Powers. The peace of San Stefano,
signed by Russia and Turkey was
taken to the Appeal Court of the
Congress of Berlin in 1878. It is the
most notable instance of this having
happened. There were doubts whe-
ther the Treaty of Bucharest, set-
tling the Balkan wars of 1912-13,
would not be revised by the Powers,
but the Venizelos' fears o$ this
ground were not realized. The main-
tenance of the balance of power of
Europe has been the excuse tor modi-
fying treaties made by individual -
belligerents. It sounds to the pres-
ent day reader like a new theory,
evolving from the concert of Europe,
which used. to periodically exert ,
pressure on Turkey and Greece in
the latter years of the nineteenth
century,, or resulting from the Triple
Alliance, which provoked the 'crea-
tion of the Triple Entente. But It is
interesting on looking over the old
peace treaties, that are now house-
hold words without much meaning
or value, to discover that the prin-
ciple of the balance of power in Eu-
1•ope was first reeogniyed by the
Treaty of Westphalia, in 1648, and
also that it was under that inter-
national act that Alsace was handed
to France, to be wrenched from her
after many vicissitudes -•-- by Ger-
many 4n tIle imposed peace laid down
by Bigmark at Versailles, and eventu-
ally ;,tuned at Frankfort,
In looking bac:: oil the war the
names of many leealities associated
With peace treaties; zr ill be recalled.
Amiens, that fell temporarily into
German hands early in the war, was
the town where the treaty' bearing
its name, after being negotiated in
London, was signed between Great
Britain, Prance and Holland, and
;pain, in 1802.
Another interesting township with
a peace history that was Overrun by
the Austrians when they blade their
break through at Caporette in the
autumn of 19:17 ie Campo Fannie,
not far from Undine. Tile treaty was
between Napoleon and Austria,, and
was signed in 1797, It was ,note-
worthy as one of the most barefaced
acts of diplomatic duplicity on re-
cord, a secret clause in the document
having the effect of robbing ltalq of
her Venetian provinces, and handin;;
them over to Austria.

Hot Onions For Pneumonia
Owing to the great prevalence of pneu-
monia and the great morality which at-
tends its ravages during the winter and
spring, several boards of health in north-
ern New Jersey have been taking measures
to protect the citizens of their towns from
the disease. The Health 13oard of Wash-
ington, N. J., has published a remedy
which is said to be of advantage in the
treatment of pneumonia, and other health
boards are looking into the matter with a
view to having the same thing published
for the good of the general public. This
is the publication as it appeared in the
papers of Washington:
"Take six to ten onions, according to
size, chop. -fine, put in a spider over a
hot fire, then add the same quantity of
rye meal and sugar enough to fora] a
thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it
thoroughly letting it simmer five or ten
minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large
enough to cover the Lungs and apply to
chest as hot as patient can bear. In
.about ten minutes apply another, and
thus continue reheating the poultices, and
in a few hours the patient will be out of
danger. This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too often fatal malady,
Usually three or four applications will be
sufficient, but continue always until per-
spiratiet starts freely from the chest.
'This remedy was formulated many years
ago by one of the best physicians New
England hes ever known, who never lost
own tieet by te disease, and by i ple remedies."
