IViaC Plan opens at Aberhart`s Drng Store, !Monday April 12th Byron Sanitarium Shower Major (Rev) C. 0. Owen, speaking in Vancouver, gives a very emphatic denial to the stories ciroulated about Canadian troops in England and Frannie. Major Oweu has served in France with the soldiers and knows what he is speaking about. The fol- lowing is part of his address as given by the Daily Province of that city, Major Owen paid a tribute to the splendid work of the Red ()roes Society He described in detail the system by which the wounded are cared for from the time they are injured until they are dismissed from the hospital. Nothing is left undone that can be done and the system is as near perfection as humanly possible, he said. In title connection he spoke of the haroie work of the atreteher-bearers, probably the most hazardous of any branch of the service. The work of the engineers in build- ing railways right up to the firing line was highly praised. The facility these linea afforded for the tratsferiug the wounded to the base' hoepiials were means of Saving many lives. Incidents of the resourcefulness and celerity of the Canadian ltailrvey En- gineers and roadbuilders were related, showing their absolute disregard for rod tape and promptness in getting results. After personal observation of the habits of thousands of Canadian sol- diers in and passing through Loudon, and patients in the hospital with whom he had been closely in Witch, declared Major Owen, he was surprised at the remarkably small percentage of dr•unkeness among the men, & dram k en soldier was a rarity. As a body they would compare favorably with an equal number of men in civilian life, The speaker closed by referring to the effect of the war upon:the spiritual life of the men. fie instanced the case of a London banker,• who had thirty- six of his emplayese as the front, They all kept in touch with him, and their letters revealed a new view o life, The censors were also deeply impressed with the faith and trust in God shown in the communications that paned through their hands. "They will not some back with light and Inci• olous impressions, and it is the duty of those at home to see that their new ideas roaeive sympathetic connideratton Re added that he found his work at the front engrossing and there was much to admire and instruct;. Tho Women% War Auxiliary intend having a shower for the Byron Said. tarium at London, on Friday April 12.

The institute is not only for Lon- don men but for all in the military dis- trict and as the latter embraces the county of Huron, the help is asked for our men who come home from the war ill or disabled _ The people of Seaforth have atrvays'responded most generously to any appeal for the soldiers, so the members of the Auxiliary kava every faith in the success of this, IS a first shower for the Byron Sanitarium, 1 is particularity requested that those who have bllttsr and eggs as at home produot will'vend these and that fruit be sent by others, A little from each one will snake a big shower and glad- den the hearts of those who -have done sa moot for their country, The ladies of the Auxiliary will receive the dona ntioue at the armories on the afternoon • I" = rices " of Friday, April t'Lth from one to sin The mt What promises to be one of the best entertainmerfits ever given in ealder's Hall will be held on Friday evening April the twefth under the auspices of the Winthrop Literary Society.
