Who la knows se the Hero of Batocke, and Grandson of • Vet- eras of the War of 1$1L On the crest of the lefty bluff that overlooks the waters of lake Coterie to the westward et the town of Port Hope stand two or three Ane ea I ra.a1ona, built la the English . t and surrounded by spacious, w I parks. They are k the prop•rte i of wealthy Am.rleams, bat years age. 1 whoa they were first built, toy Iformed the landed estates of • 11 group of aristocratic English s•tUNi Through propinquity mad inter -mar - triage the families became cloeoty associated. For years the occupied a foremost place sot alone In Port Hope but In the conutry at largs Then In process of time e came about. Some died, some nal grated to otber parte, until t 'practically none are left in the of town -a story familiar enough to t people of most of the smaller can tres of Ontario. To one of these old Port Hope families belongs Lieut. -Col. Vtctot Arthur Seymour Williams, whose name has become well-known to Can *diens since the outbreak of the war As adjutant -general at headquarters as .amp con.mandant at �'alcartler t and now as a . alued omcer of the j first contingent, who has already bees under are at the frost, he has hero for months prominently In the ,. iblle eye. He was born forty-eight years ago at Penryn Park, the more Westerly of the group of estates al- ready referred. to. and spent hes boy- hood and youth amid their pleasant surroundings. The Williams family was founded in Canada by John Tucker Williams, an omcer of the Royal Navy, who was sent out during the war of 1(112-15 to take eommand of a gunboat on Labe Canute. Atter the war was over be decided to remain In Canada and accordingly settled at Port Hope. HP was again active in a military way- In 1337 when he took command of the Durham regiment, which had been raised to assist In quelling the rebellfbn-.of that year. When Port Hope was given its first town council he was elected ..mayor. and later he was elected member of Parliament for the riding of East Durham In the Parliament of irntted Canada. Ht$ eldest son, and ter father of Lieut. -Col: Victor Williams, was Ar- thur T. H. Williams, who was born to 1137. Colonel 'Arthur Williams is known to fame as the hero of 13a- toche, and a (Inc monument to his memory stands in Ibe market square at Port Hope. A IawTer.by' profes- sion, he served his town in many ca- pacities. At confederation he was the first member elected by East Durham to the. Provincial Legisla- ture, and In 1373 he was returned to the House of Commons. He rose . to be the commanding omcer of the 46th Regiment. seeing service dur- ing the Fenian invasion and again during the Northwest rebellion. The history of Canada contains the story of Col. Williams' gallant charge at Batoche, which practically ended the rebellion. He bad his detractors,• and what brave man since the world began, has not? But those who knew hint beet have only the highest praise for him as a gentleman and Moldier. His death occurred shortly atter the battle, not from wounds, b from fitness brought on by the ' exposure, aggravated by the treat- ment he had received from Jealous superior omcers. 1 A worthy son of a worthy father is the present Colonel Williams. H4 is a graduate of the Royal Militate College and a former inspector of the Northwest Mounted Pollee. it 1893 be was given a commission til the Royal Canadian Dragoons, rtstne tr1907 to be the commanding omeet the regiment. For a time he re- lded fe Toronto as commandant 0f the Royal School of Cartier, being later promoted to the post of edJs- tant-general at headquarters, where • was stationed at the outbreak of ostf11tie.. He saw active service le Hoath Mutes, was twice mentioned in despatches and gained the Queen'6 Medal with five clasps A tkorongb- b&fng soldier, he has behind him the tntng and tradition of two genet - pions of sturdy, self-reliant Cana- dian forebears. tnrldentally hie other was a daughter of the Hon. •njamin Seymour, a member of tk to and another representative.1 • old Port Hope aristocracy. yyd wood • changed i a • No Negotiatfoas With Cabs Though Interested parties have made suggestion looking to a reei- jrroetty treaty between Canada and Dube, no direct negotiations or ois- clal eorrespoadence on the sub$.$ have takes place, according to infor- mation in high circles of the Trade and °ommeroe Department at Ottawa.

NORTHERN CANADA WILDY. Pew Hodson Ray Agents, Hart-Breedf and Natives 'these. Though much Is written about Western Canada nowadays, welted P. H. Oodsell, In the Wide World Magaslse, one heirs very Utile of the vast northern wastes of that Do. minion, where the conditions of Ute vary but little from what they were a century ago. Until very recent years the ggrree..�� wilderness of swamp and to= stretching from the head of Lake Winnipeg east to Hodson Bay, and northerly to the Arctic Circle, wad known u the district of Keewatin. With the exception of small d•• tachments of Northwest Mounted Police, a few scattered mlaslonarleat and the Hodson Bae Company', traders and employes, this vast Mei trlct 1a peopled entirely by Indian/ of the ere• and Salteaux tribes, and. to tbe far northern portion, a fete wandering Eskimos and Chippewa?. ans. Tbla country, In whteh winter of almost Arctic severity holds sway tof eight months In the year, Is a nate work of large lakes, riven and small. er streams draining into Rodeo' Bay. Along most of these aavlgable waters, situated from a hundred to two hundred and fifty miles apart, stand the lonely trading poste oil forts of the Hudson Bay company. These forte usually consist of a pic- keted or stockaded square lnelosty • number of log or frame buildings, usually four or Ave, with a tall pole rising In the centre, from whlc on special occasions, floats tbe erslgn of the company. The staff of the smaller outpost/ generally consists of one whit• mail as omcer in charge, with two of three half-breed or Indian assistant/ or dog -driven. As in most case/ these posts are situated in a virgin wilderness, far from civilisation, the trader may not so a fellow white man for six months at a stretch, and has only the society afforded by bM halt -breed servants targe Increase In novenae. Ron. T. Chase Caagraln. Pestlesa. tet-Oeneral, Is the only member of the Government whose department can report an Increased revenue id spite of the war. The sale of stamps Ib December brought 1n 91,7110,493, an increase of 951,493 ovet Decent.; her, 1918. For the nine months of . the present fiscal year the revenue has been 911,119,710 an Increase at , 916,074. The parcel post Jwstem, which was established say last year, is responsible for much of tbe Increased revenue. The sending of Christmas gifts to the 11,000 Cana - Alan soldiers on Salisbury Plain would also Increase the December t Vats. �� revenue of the department for I last month was almost three times that of DsssLiber, 1904, and the re - reuse for the first alae monies of , the /seal year 1804 was 94,471,600, as compared with *11,1 9,710 for 1 the same period of this yr.

Spinal meningitis has among its latest victims Jack Ken- nedy, of the Fifth Battery, formerly the 7111 Westmount Battery. All anticipations are directed to an early move, ' bich 1s expected and favored from a medical standpoint as likely to stamp out meningitis. The experiences of the contingent at Salisbury Plain may mean the selec- tion of another camp for the second contingent. BRITISH DROP BOMBS Successful Raid by Airman on Zee. brug9e-.Considerable Damage 0•.. While German airmen on Friday morning were dropping bombs on Dunkirk. one of which damaged the American conau;ate. two British avia- tors paid a visit to Zeebrugge and succeeded in damaging a submarine and killing or wounding the crews of the guns mounted on the Mole to prevent Wachs from the sea on that new German base. Twenty-seven bombe were dropped at Zeebrugge. On. of the Braune aviators was Squad- ron Commander R. B. Davies Prior to reaching Zeebrugge. Davies was surrounded by seven German airmen and although alightly wounded, suc- ceeded In making his flight along the coast and returning mately. THE LAND CAMPAIGN See -raw attle Goes on In West - Germans Reinforcing Eastern Army The destruction of the 7erman pon- toons over the Meuse at St. Mihtel, after five days of effort, and the men- tion of fighting In Lorraine after a long lapse, are the features of most importance in the edictal commnn- ttquea issued Monday by the French War Office. Fora long time the Trench gunners have been striving sight and day t0 demolish the bridges across the Metes from the point of the German wedge at St. Mihtel. The dense tog and entaverable weather which is characteristic of 11. Vosges and the Alsatian regime at this season of the year has pot a stop to the fighting there. Despatches received from Petrograd reiterate the report that the Ramekin arms in Southern PoMad have drives the German forces beck upoe the Ptllca River. According to these re porta the Rnssina were victorious In a series of battles fa the Kielce dis- trict, and have advanced about 19 miles. The most Important sews of lead operations comes from the eastern front. where Germany and Austria are masetng a new army of 400.000 toot, ncluding a large number of Bavarians who are tr lsetotsed to ms.stds operations, In the ca.t.ra part of Hungary, to eta: the Iia dos •deems hrough Rukowlna A Setts report Halms that the Rumbas bare best driven out of ittrt•hlha 111e steati- tic"! print In the iblAwwltlaa Mos.. tales, providing then with as easy route Into Hungary.
