A. has issued au official an- aouucemeut of its plans.. In laying out Its military work for 1919 it was estim- atewi- th•,t the Overseas end cobld be carried on ,without further appeal. to Canada kr funds, the necessary work reinainirtg .heing tirade possible by util- izing canteen f,iads and 1-rt1•1,0' contributions, and by re ilizing on its assets in stock and equipment: The liqaidation of the assets• is now. in plogrehs, so far a, the work permits, the decreasing numbers of Canadian troops ' in France opening the way to a reduction in equipment, iu expenses of- -operation, .and in stocks. As:the num- ber of Canadians in E-lglan.l is . main- tained by new arrivals from Fiance the program there must be well continued. It is right that every Canadian sold- ier should know that every. dollar -col- lected ,in Canada for Overseas. as well --sz :ay irotn Overseas, operations, such as: the cauteens, and the -entire realtzation of assets Overseas will be spent in his service on this side of the At1.n'ic. The Overseas Executive of the Y fig- (tre that the funds obtained from these sources will permit the continuation of the Y program until 'demobilization in France is complete, and in Eugl'and un= til August 3.1st. Sidce by that date it seems certain that every Can idian will be on his way to Canada there is no prospect of even the last soldier from Overseas suffering_from any serious cur- tailment of the Y. M. C. A. program. The Bruce Co. Indians The Chesley Enterprise had the fol -- lowing: The Indians in - Canada are :claimivg the franchise on account of what they did in' the 'great war. In Canada 5;500 Redmen enlisted which ie a very good showing. On the Cape .Croker Reserve in this county, of 67 men of military age 63 offered their services, 57- were accepted and .53 went overseas.' This is a record that is hard to beat. Of those who wept to France 6 made the supreme sacrifice, 22 were wounded, one 'losing his right arm, 27 have come back and 21) are still ovet•- seas. Such a record shows the Indians are worthy sons of Tecumseh of Morav- itentown fame in the war of 1812 to 1815. The Indians of the Chippewa reserve at Southampton -have an equally good record with their bregarm _ern Cape Croker. WEST WAWANOSti - DRAiNAGE CASE Judge Dixon, of Huron County, has handed down an important judgement in the matter of the Kerr Drain and the Young Creek Drain iu the Township of %Vest Wawanosh. Controversy over these drains has occupied the attention of the council of West Wawanosh for upwards of two years, and the judg went'jugt handed down has therefore unusual interest.- -The judgment deals with the appeals of Henry J. Kerr, Wm. Dodds, Kiclierd M^_Whinney, Jas. Wat- 800, Nelson Mc.Larty and David- Sproul. The appeal was front the award of the engineer who ruled that the above.nan,- ed farmers should be asseesed' in con nection with the drains On the ground that their properties would he benefited by the construction and maintenance of the drain. The judgment is too long to give in full, but the first paragraph will give an idea of its tenor. ,It reads as follows : -.Looking at the petition, the by-law and report, it will he seen that the lands of the appellants, Kerr,.Dodds, McWhin- ney and Watson. being lots 416, 17 and 18 in the let concession of West Wawa: nosh, were not included in the original scheme. . These parties were _.not peti- tionei s, norid the petition refer to their lands, a lands to be affected. The petitioners ap arently did not consider these lands should be brought into their scheme for draining their lands, and they did not look to - the appellants for any share nf, or contribution to, the cost thereof It would havebeen, in the in- terest of the petitioners to include all the land possible. I - have no doubt in my own mind that the petitioners ''vete satisfied at the time they initiated the drainage Fcheme, . that the lands of the appellants would receive no benefit apd were not in any way assessable for the work, whatever they tiny think now. It l -bees - stated-th sf--tt - iters in -_. tended the drains to be constructed tinder the Ditches and Water courses Act, and for that reason did not include lands which might be brought in under the Municipal Drainage Act,'' but the petitioners do not say this, and . their petition as well as the proceedings .throughout conclusively prove •that they did not intend the draiba rt co be constructed under the Ditches aid • A. A. 404 k GIRLS ROB THE E MAIL AT GODERICH (C:oderich Star) Oftentimes one notices a post office box key carelessly left in the lock of the box, and we suppose in the majority of case% the key is promptly placed inside the h� �x or returned at the wicket and the b er holder recovers his key and thinkq nothing about the mattet further. This (Ices not always happen, however, es is shown by an Investigation which took place in Cloderioh last week, which unearl lied a systematic scheme of rob- bing ilia M+sty's mails; lend but for the fact that the guilty ones were found to be a cc.uple of young girls and that the ch;}rge was purposely laid under the Juvenile I)elin►quents Act, they would have to serve a term of years in peni- tentiary for the offence. the law wring the magistrate no option in the matter. This flows how R'rinl1R the ofY'nrr iq and the youthful offenders should, and no doubt will, tale- warning and eyoid temptation in this matter again. Box - holders Alin elbould he more careful not to leave their keys in their t oyes or the box unlocked and so put temptation in the. way of those whn.do not resins the serious notate of the offence. he discovery of the robbery tint 4w been going on came about by the invest- igation of the non -receipt of a remit- ttnce by a party in town. This remit lance was by postal note, and the num- ber of the note having been preserved, inquiry was made at Ottawa by the Qoderich postmaster as to who collected this remittance. The name baying been found out, Assistant Post Otitle Inspector McLean came up from London on Monday of last week, and with the assistance of the. police, the modutroper- andi was discodered One of the girls was found to have no fewer,. than four postoffice keys which she had taken from boxes at the postoffice, and the practice it seems was to use these to open the boxes and abstract the mail. If the letter was found to contain money, the money ' was kept and the letter destroyed. Some times it was necessary to fill'in the name of the per- son to whom the postal nate was add- ressed, and in the case of the note which wits invest igate►!, th p>iyee's name had apparently not been muffle iently carefully filled in to prevent a new name being written in, which was done and the note cashed. In another case, we understand the remittance was for ..$50, which was shared up bylthe two girls. On• of the charges was thus Iusde of stealing, and soother of receiv- ing stoles gods ser! forte. ' Comsid ening the youth of the offenders. t e, charges were purposely brought under the Juvenile Delinquents Act, and the magistrate let the girls go on suspended sentence, they to report to the Child- ren's Aid Officer once a week. Big Victory Bond Interest. Payment on May Day .May Day will see $18,000,000 paid in interest to the holders of Victory Bonds issued in 1918. This will be by far the largest single ' interest payment ever made in Canada. Incidentally, it is only one of many, for Canadians will draw over $75,000,000 in war bonds' in- terest this year. The question arises, how much of this money will be saved? Will the over 1,000,000 holders of Victory Bonds in the Dominion become systeniatia savers, t hue helping thentselvea and the country, or will they discontinue saviere A large portion of this $18,Q00,OUt+ ar should be invested in WSavings Stamps, which are Government bonds and just as secure as 'Victory Bonds are. , Victory )fonds started hundreds of tfiou • sands of people saving, who should con- tinue the ,practice, which is made easy through War Savings andThrift Stamps. ..A eeceat_iaaue of The Leaden :nee Press lied the following about a Southampton boy: Among all the stories that will be written abk►ut ,the gallantry of the Canadian officers ho -went ove_ reeas none is more thrilling --than--the story of Major W. n: Scott, the medical officer of the First Bat. talion. When that unit was fighting at Hi11 70, he established a clearing station in a shell hole anti remained there on duty long after the s ction. had been wired out. Col. Sperling speaks in the hjgl.est terms of the bravery of his medical officer.
