TIM AGAINST WARS
To the Editor av all thirty
Wingbarn paypers,
Deer Suis-
Shure, it does be lookin loike war
in the aist' betwane the yallah min
an the brown min, an 'tis what ye
moight call a civiloized war they do
be honldiu, wid aide soide hlamin the
other fellah 'fer shtartin it, an .thin
usin mashcen guns, an trowin bombs
from airoplanes on definseless
Inin an childer, who had nothin to do
wid shtartin it, at all at all.
Av aoorse war always ,has been, an
always will: be, nothin ils'e bast bloody
nsurther, but in the ould days a fel-
lah had to take his chance in a shtand
up an knock down foight wid some
other felalli, an not be trowin bombs
an
shootin torpedos an, poison gas at
payple who hey no chance to get
back at thim at all, at 'all..
'Tis.s cowardly, effiminate, sowlless
wars we do be houl•din : in these de-
gn: erate days, .wid wan counthry as
bad es another, arr wurs•e. No wan
cud wroite a poem loike "Ye Mar-
iners av England", arr . "Brittannia
rules the waves" arr Julia Howe's
"i3attle Hymn av the Republic" whin
the lasht war wu'a 'inded. The only
verses that will be rernimbered twin-
ty years from now will be "In Flan-
ders' : Fields" an mebby Kipling's
"The Hun. is at the Gate.
I kin remimber, afther the civil
war in the Slitates, av thefoine ould
songs ivirybody; :wus singin, i"The
faded coat av blue" "Tinting on the
oalcl camp ground" "Just befoorthe
battle mother" " Marchin troo Geist -
an a whole. lot av others, not
fergiittin,. "We'll hang Jeff Davis on
a sour apple tree."
No doubt the byes ist: the Southern
Shtates had theer songs too, but av
coorse th'e payple: in Canada didn't,
hear. so. much about thim. Soulger,
lads must sing songs to kape up
theer shpirits, but, shure,•• nobody
wrote annytingwort whoile fer thitn
whin they wets sufferin . an doyin fer
us in the mud av Flanders. The poor
fellahs had to go into the war to the
tone. av "Tipperary" an come out,
thin that .wus lift av thim, singin
"7i'ack atp ger thrubbles in yer ould
kit b`ag."

The heavy rains last Wednesday $
night and Thursday raised the water 1
in the river so that it flowed over IN
the road on Gibson and Hawick st.,
piling ice and debris, washing side-

the road and through people's gar•
dens several feet deep. Not for years

There was very little ice on the pond
and no trouble was anticipated, but
when the dam at Fordwich and Gor-
rie gave way, letting a rush of water
into the pond here before all the
gates could be taken out of the dam.
A pile of drift wood broke the boom
letting it into the dam; dynamite had Ai

gates back in.
