He will also attend the Deanery Meet- ing at. Wingham before returning. The Liberals are against an election because they know, it is expedient for then to be so. The Canadian- ;losses are due' to the murderous gasses, which is con- trary to all laws of wax fare. It would be well to remember this Some day ' After Langeanarck Ex -Pres.

President Wilson do now that. an American boat has oeen sunk and American lives lost ? Accept a little money and an apology ? Is that all "Old Glory" stands for ? It is time the military authorities were acting when a minister in South Humor says iii public that the Brit- ish soldiers and • British Chaplains are "soak," becattse he is nothing more or less than a contnron traitor If it were not disgusting it would be amusing to hear the pretentious criticisms and applying of wrong, mo- tivert to men who stand very high among their fellows.
