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. t5 W. R. ELM D. D. S., L. D. S.

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! --Aubrey S.

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." rota his re,. 4AN.$ 4,00 441 111AR.$ 4.02 APR,$4.0$ 4.04 JUNE $4.0 JULYS4 AUG.
