With the Treaty signed and sealed, sir, No more weapons we will wield, sir, Nor will Despotism threaten to defy. So, since peace is signed, the nations Start to show us indications Of a plan to bring Ex -Kaiser up on trial. And -that villain's younger sons, sir, -With a "cheek" that's born in Huns, Send this offer to our King -(It makes me smile!) "We, the sons a 13111, are willing To be blamed for alisthe killing, If you'll only let old Daddy keep his head! If you spare our Pa, and leave him Safe and sound -and never grieve • him, You can kill the bunch of us, sir, in his stead! Papa's old, you see, and "groggy"-. In the bean, he's rather foggy, All he does is walk about, and tear his hair! So, good King, if we can suffer In the place of Bill, the Bluffer, Then -we stand prepared t� take our ' Papa's share!" Say they made some great conditions! -Looks as thoagh they had suspicions That the Hohenzollern out -fit, in a bunch Would be jailed. Yes, ey'ry one, sir,. To the very youngest son, sir, - Yes! It looks as if the brothers had a "blench!" They're as cunning as a fox, sir, Bute -they'll find that doors with locks, sir, Will be placed between their crowd, and open air. And, those cunning chaps will see, sir, When the Allies turn the key, sir, That each Hohenzollern pup must take his share.

Cantelon, and kindly loaned for publication.) Vancouver, B. C., 256 -7th Ave., W, Dear Father:- June 26th, 1919 I gave you long descriptive accounts in my letters of My. trip overseas to England and subsequent trips around England Ireland and Scotland and Wales, 1 al sent you meagre accounts of my journey in La 13elle, France, which I wasn't abl to give in detail until I arrived home 1 Marcht on account of the strict censor ship. If you remember, I think I mentione Valenciennes in France, near the Beigia Frontier and twelve kilos from Mons, a • the point farthest East which I reached . Now I purpose to give you a slight con ception of rny •trip from Wingham to Vancouver; the farthest point West which I have yet reached. Thus, you will have a small idea of some of the country which I have passed through from Valenciennes which I left on the fourteenth of November last year to Van- covver where I arrived on the twentieth of May this year, a distance of approxi- • mately sixty-seven hundred miles with a change in time of eight hours, As you know I Jeft Wingharn on the thirteenth of May and took the L. H. and B. (Butter and Egg route) to London and prodhred me ticket from there for. Van- couver. I had another stopover in Tor- onto leaving there seven p, m. May six- teenth; via C. P. R. on the Vancouver Express. All Ontarioites know London and Toronto and the intervening country, so .there is no use „in saying anything about that part of my trip. Although it was late when we left Tor. onto, yet we raninto broken country be- fore the dusk of evening hid the landscape from view. From Bolton, northwards the land was inclined to be hilly and scrubby, and only sparsely settled.. In fact from there on to about fifty miles from Winni- peg the land seemed to be very thinly settled. It was night when we passed through the famous Muskoka country and we were past Sudbury before we again had a good look at the country through which we were travelling. We were then in the vast wilderness of Northern Ontario and it certainly had few appearances of being a white man's coun- try, as far as civilization was concerned. The country is very hilly and rocky and is mit up with networks of small lakes and rivers. Most of the large timber near the railway has been cut down, but there is still a superabundance of scrubby trees. The country is undoubtedly of little use for agricultural purposes, but it is nevertheless a very rich tract of land on account of its timber, minerals and other resources. Although rpagh and rugged, yet it is also very picturesque and panor- ama after panorama of lakes and rivers nestling among the wooded hills, pass be- fore the view with• varied and pleasing varieties of color and beauty. It would make a veritable summer resort for mil- lions of people. The boating, fishing and game being unexcelled in the world I Saw several deer near the tracks as we passed along and sorne of the passen- gers thought they saw some moose wad, ing in a small lake in the distance. The small settlements are rather primitive but have a comfortable, homelike appearance, • Later in the day we passed around the northern shore of Lake Superior and the views of islands and bays with the treach.- erous and mighty lake in the distance, were very pretty and pleasing to look at. All through this district the railway has been hewn through rough, rocky country under great difficulties and it is a fact which Canada should be proud of. The many curves, tunnels and treatherous. spots along the lake shore, provide a little • excitement and add spice to the journey. We had a short stop hi Fort William, where the time was put back an hour from Eastern to Central time, As it was about eleven p. m. I didn't have a very good look at the city. 1 am told though • that it is a very nice place and well worth seeing, We did'nt see much more of the country until we came near Kenora in the Lake of the Woods district, 1 have heard tales of its beauty and I agree with them, that it is one of the prettiest spots in Canada. We hact lovely weather all along whieh gave us &good opportunity for 'Sight.see- ifig. In fact the veeather wes 110464 dur- ing the !tole trip. Some distance past Kenora the country commenced to be more open anti not so hilly, and became quite level in places nearer Winnipeiel although it still had considerable scrubby ground. We had almost an hour's stop at the 'Peg and we taxied around. the great Metropolis of the West for Over half an hour. The strike was on and we got very poor restaurant service but eny impressiotte of the city were very good. It certainly has all the appearance of a thrieing place. At one p, m. we continued our journey across the vast Westere Prairie couatry. We passed through Portage LelPrairie ahd Brandon and were into Saskatchewan before dusk *et in; which was about ten p, m. as I remember reading about that time, TRAMPLED TO DEATH oseeh Smelizen, Wawanosle Fatally Injured A 11a4 accident occurred at Whitechurch an Monday afternoon when Joseph Sineltzer a well -to do and.highly respected citizen, received injuries from which he died. Mr. Smeltzer went to the fields shortl after dinner fpr a, load of hay and ver soon afterwards Mrs Stneltzer 1 MR. MASON'S LETTER Owlewnenk.

Drs.

The sisters are ,Mrs. Webster, West Waw- , anosh and ' Mrs. Irwin, Ashfield. The funeral was held to the Wingham ceme- tery on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended.. Mast sympathy is extended to the be- reaved family in their hour of sorrow, Successful Students The results of, the courses of training for Public School Teachers at the different Normal Schools of the Province .were an- nounced and among theist .of successful candidates we notice the following from Wingham and vicinity, Misses Irene Allen, Florence Deacon, Eileen Dore, Ag- nes M. Devereaux, Marjorie Harrison, Gladys Maude Tisdale, Zelma M, Turvey Myrtle Walters and Mr. Steele McKenzie U. F. Oe Candidate in Bruce Twenty-five delegates of the United Farmers in this section of the county, met at Underwood yesterday and decided to choose a candidate to contest West Bruce for the provincial House, No names were mentioned as to candi- dates, but a decision was arrived at to hold a convention at Tiverton within two weeks, when a man would be chosen. West Bruce is now represented by Mr. C. M. Bowman, who announces that he will retire, Who Knows of Lieut Nichol? Mr. Mac McDonald, Lot 11, con, 5, Huron township, wishes to communicate with the gentleman, by the name of Lieut. Nichol or McNichol, who was in Sandgate Military Hospital, Shorncliffe, England on or about March 13th, 1919, when his brother Lieut J. S McDonald, R. A. F., died in that hospital. If any of our subscribers can give us any informat- ion as to the whereabouts of dila gentle- man, we are sure it will be appreciated. I Lieut, McDonald's remains were brought to Canada and interred in the Ripley cemetery, on May 241h. almost encircling the town, from which eyou have an ercelientview by day an e night The Bow and Elbow Rivers join- ing here, St. George's bland and other ' natural scenery makes the city interest ing, , Apparently in pre -historic days the rivers covered the site of the city as there f are evidences of it in the gravel formation.

Only the immediate relatives of both parties were present, owing to Mr. Coulter's recent bereave- ments.

House Burned to the tiround The home of Mrs. Chas Thom, near Zetland, was burned to the ground on Sunday evening. The fainter had only recently returned to the house after spending the past few months with rel. eaves at Auburn, and it is thought that birds must have made their nests in the chimney and after the first couple of fires, the nests may have fallen down into the pipes, however the fire caught in the pipes and was not noticed until the up- stairs was in flames Only a small amount of the furniture was saved and we understand the insurance is very light. Foot Pulled Off Mr. Clifford Elliott, Dundas street, Hamilton, met with a very painful ac- cident early Tuesday morning, July 8th, at Sed Bros, Brick Yard, when his right foot was caught in the rollers pulling it off and crushing the leg to that it had to be amputated just below the knee. He was removed to the city Hospital where he is resting fairly Well He is the third son of Samuel Elliott, formerly of Elliott Bros., Bluevale, and moved to Hamilton about two years ago.

A special feature is that it is a great 'deal higher at one end than the other to con- form with the considerable hill on the other side which goes by name of "Cresent Heights." On way to the bridge we pass through "Chink" town. These gentry carry on different kinds of business and are not all associated with Laundry yrofession. I observed there are quite a efimber of swells among them, they swagger eking with cigarettes the same as Christians and dressed quite up to date, There are about 57 other varieties of human compos- ition here and the worst element to my mind are the Germans, who have caused so much anguish and trouble in this old world and if my suggestion had any value, there would be a few special trains on the C.?. R, to give thein a rough ride to the ocean side for all time. They have a large church here but why I cannot chn- ceive, since the year one A. D. they have kept the world in an uproar and appar- ently will continue so doing. They know nothing about Christian Ethics, conse- quently we are saffering; a "chink" is preferable every time. This city 'bas some up-to-date features, the streets and avenues are numbered, likewise houses, so that a stranger can easily navigate. The buildings are excel- lent. To begin with, the premier pile is the "Pallise," one of the largest and best hotels in British North America. Our old citizen, Mr. J. Orr, employed here, kindly showed us through the great building from sub -basement M sun room. It is about ae large as "King Edward" Toronto, "Can - nought" Hamilton and "Exchange" Wing - ham, put together and cost in neighbour- hood of three millions or about the value of three ordinary Ontario towns The, building contains 708 bedrooms, ball- room, concert room, magnificent rotundra, parlours fit for the King. A good dinner would only Cost about $5 00 A benevo- lent fellow treated his friends, 12 in ntun- ber, and the check was over $49.00, so you cannot pick your teeth for nothing here A full discription of this "joint" would take too much type. Hudson Bay Deparmental is a white marble front, 6 stories, well finished and equipped and for size of the city, I fancy unexcelled in the world. Herald Building about eleven stories, an excellent struct- ure, Canadian Life and others which Would do credit to any city. This is essentually a C. P. R. city and was the first means of its existence and prosperity, the two other roads viz G. T. R. and C. P. R. occupying a lower pos- ition. The C. P. R. station however is a squatty long drawn out concern not in keeping with the great railway, it gives the appearance of a "Tail piece" to the big hotel adjoining. Pat Burns block deserves mention. Thisehas a white marble front contains a splendid Butcher shop, which is not excelled, I fancy in Canada for beauty, finish and equipment. The upper floors are devoted to office use. We must speak about Pat.

The record of your Order in enlistments, since first the "Mad -dog . of Europe" re- leased his hellish millions to rape and ruin fair France and Belgium, show that you are willing if necessary to Jay down your lives procuring for others that liberty which Mt enjoy in this the freest of all countries the sun shines on. When we think that in the city of Toronto alone over 12,000 Orangemen went overseas for King and Country, and that in some parts of the great west Some Orange Lodges could not hold a meeting from the start of the war to its. close, on account of the number of members who had gone to. the front, we are lost i n admiration of the spirit which prompted your members as a whole and which is the moving spirit oi your organization. Another point that we cannot let pass ia addressing you is the care you take of the orphan, not only of your own order alone, but of all protestant parents. The great effort xyou are now making to in- crease the capacity of your Home by raising the sett of $300,000, so that no protestant orphan may ever appeal to you in vain, places you in the front rank of benevolent societies, who give all and ask nothing in return except the approval of Him who said "Suffer little children to come unto Me," The day you are now celebrating is in memory of one of the greatest victoriee ever won by any King and Country, in that it established at once for ever to -every Briton, the right to worship- God after the dictates of his own conscience and under his own vine and fig tree and none to make him afraid. Again an b. half of the citizens of Wrox- eter, 1 bid you welcome and hope the day you spend with us may be one of pleasure to yourselves and profit to your Order," The Orangemen and their friends very much appreciated the cordial welcome ex. tended to them, and W. M. W. A. Mines replied, thanking the Reeve for courteeies. The day was a grand RICCI'S§ and flowick and Wroxeter Otangemen tue to be con- giatulated.
