SEAFORTH, Friday, June 15th, 1917
THE WAR SITTJATION.
The Greek King has at last been
brought to book. This is the outstand-
lag feature of the war situation this
week. Ever since the commencement
of the war Kn.
ing Constantine, urged o
by the Queen, who is a sister of the
Kaiser, has been a stumbling block and
a thorn, in the fiestt of the Allies. He
has done teverything- in his power to
thwart the plans and operations of
Britain and Freace in the east. He
has kept an immense Allied army
practically le prisoner lie Salonika, by
their lines of communica-
tion in Mesopotamia, and although
bound by treaty to come to the aid of
Serbia, her former ally and friend,
shotdd that country be attacked, he
basely let that country ge overrun by
Germany without raising a finger to
help. Several iinies the Allies have
taken severe measures against the
king and his supporters. They forced
the demobolization of his army, block-
aded Greek shipping and in other ways
tried to make the king see the error of
bit ways, The Geri= seed, however,
was too firmly planted and well water-
ed in his system by the Kaiser' and
the Queen and be persisted in his ef-
forts until he- brought.his. country to
starvation and the verge of civil war.
Which,. of his past overt acts or some
new one brought.' the climax is not
kn.own, but the Al.Res have at teat tak-
en the etep long looked. for and now
King Constantine's rule is over. On
'Tuesday on the demand of Great Wit-
aireFrance and Russiahe was .forced to
abdicate his throne and his second sere
Alexander has been appointed his sues
etre cessor. The King,. Queen and Crown
prince, George, who is also a pro-
nounced pro -German have left the
country, being taken on board an _Al-
lied warship and veill proceed -to Swit-
eriand by way of Italy. Previous to
the demand for abdication, the Allies'
took steps to prevent Constantine
from containing control of the coming
wheat harvest in Thessaly, which is
the most important grain growing dis-
trict in Greece and -whose harvest will
shortly be gathered. If this harvest
had passed into the 'old King's hands
he would have been in a position to
defy the Allied blockade for a long
time to come, hence the need for im-
mediate action. There,liaa been no dis-
order in Athens and none in the wheat
district occupied by the Allies' troops
forthe securing of the wheat crop
and there is a very strong probability
that with the German influence re-
moved, Greece will now join the Allies
and assist in driving the Bulgarians
out of, Grecian territory and out of
Serbia and materially aid in severing
Turkey from her German ally, in
which case Turkey would not midi
longer be able to remain in the field.
On the Western front the British
forces are maintaining a steady and
ever increasing pressure against the
Germans. Following up the great
success at Messines last week, and af-
ter beating into the ground every
German attempt to regain their lost
position, the British have again made
a substantial advance For a few days
there was comparative quiet while the
British consolidated their positions,
and made ready for the next step. One
step at a time seems to be Gen. Haig's
motto, and it is certainly proving a
very sound one. The last step was
made on Tuesday, when two miles of
trenches were stormed and occupied
by the British and another big dent
was made in the Hindenburg line. So
far the Germans have attempted no
counter-attacks and seem to be some-
what disorganized. The truth is evi-
dently being borne home to them that
the impregnability of the Hindenburg
line is a myth and that their big with-
drawal over a month ago was not a
strategic move on their part, but a re-
treat made absolutely necessary by
the overwhelming pressure of the Al-
lies. Certain it is that no where on
this now famed line have they been
able to hold either French or British,
when they desired to go forward. They
are being brought face to face with
the fact that the Ifindeeburg line has
not the strength of their old line and
they are beginning to fear that no
other defensive line which- they may
be able to build ever will be as str ng
With the Greek problem off their
hands we may expect to iee a steady
Allied advance in the west and eere
haps, before long another great stra-
tegic German. retreat.
Comparative quiet prevails on /the
other battle fronts. The etalians'are
more than holding their own; in fact,
they have made some alight gains and ;
the Austrians, heavity reinforced from
the Eastern front, as they are, have
been powerless to stay this advance.
The German U-boat menace has rett,
eeived a decided set back during the
past few weeks. A high British oft-
cial is authority for the statement
' that the British have of late been
askew three German submarines *
week and one week sank six and as
the German ottput of sabinarines Is
quoted as being three a week, it will
be seen that their losses suite equal
the output. Whether this 'sail exact
statementof fact, perhaps no person
knows, but it is known that the Allied
losses in ehipping from this cause,
has been fatthelowthe average of late;
and in fact, fer below British Adnnr-
alty expectatiiifls.
..other German air raidwas car-
ried out over London, England, in
which 15 hostile aircraft crossed the
Channel and heavily bombed the emit
end of London. This is the poorest
and most congested district in the city
which made the casualties much, heav-
ier than they would have been other-
wise. The casualties reported are 49
dead and 200 injured, but it is feared:
that when the full returns are receiv-
ed the losseswillbe heavier. A large
preportion of the killed and wounded
were children. The German machines
flew at at a height of at least 18,000 -feet,
and were almost entirely hidden in the
heat haze over the city. Anti-aircraft
guns in all parts of the city were turn-
ed on the invaders and a host of air-
men rose in pursuit. At time of writ-
ing one German raider had been
brought down and the pursuit was still
in progress. •
Wednesday's raid -lathe fourth since
May 24th, when four or five German
machines bombed Norfolk, killing one
man. All the raiders escaped. The
next day sixteen machines raided the
south-eastern counties, 76 persons be-
ing killed and 174 injured. Most of
the damage was done in Folkestone.
Three enemymacbines were shot down
On June 5 eighteen airplanes dropped
bombs on the Thames estuary,. Eight
machines were shot down diming the
raid and while returning to their bas-
es. Two persons were killed and 29
injured.

STANLEY.
Anotb.er Pioneer Laid To Rest.—It
was with sincere regret that we learn-
ed on Monday morning of last week,
that Mrs. James Turner had died dur-
ing the night. Mrs. Turner, whose
maiden name was Margaret Jane
Webster, was born in Norval in the
year 1845, and moved with her parents
and brothers and sisters to Ashfield
when nine years of age. In 1871 she
was married to her late husband and
moved to the farm on the Parr Line
where she spent all the remainder of
her life. Her husband predeceased
her four years, also a daughter, Mrs.
George Coleman, who died fifteen
years ago, her little daughter, Mabel
Coleraan, having since lived with her
grandmother, and who now mourns
the loss Of one who was all in life to
her. The deceased was a kind and
affectionate parent, one that will be
greatly missed. by a large circle of
neigbors and friends; particularly
her own home, where ane had a
kind word and smile for evey one.
In religion she was a consistent mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church and
was a devout Christian woman, one of
whom it might well be said, "She hath
done what she could, enter into the
joy of the Lord." The deceased had
been in failing health foe the past
year and contracted pneumonia about
four weeks ago, when her weak consti-
tution was unable to stand the ragaves
of the disease and she passed peace-
fully tb her reward on Sunday even-
ing, being surrounded by her family
when the end came --a family who
had done all in their power to restore
her to her w'onted health and strength.
But such was not the will of God. She
is survived by three sons, John, Webs-
ter and Harvey, all of the Parr Line,
Harvey living on the homestead with
his mother; and three daughters, Men.
John McNaughton, of Tuckersmet.h;
Mrs. Frank Coleman, of the Parr Line
and Mrs. Ben Keys, of the Babylon
Line, besides four brothers, Thomas,
Robert, Daniel and Richard Webster,
and two sisters, Mrs. David Ander-
son and Miss Lizzie Webster, all of
Ashfield township. The funeral on
Tuesday afternoon to Bayfield ceme-
tery was very largely attended, the
services at the house and grave being
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr.
Aitken, assisted by Rev. Mr. Johns -
son, of Varna. The pall bearers Wert

Two Smart Old Pioneers — Your
correspondent has been informed of
the following facts by a son of an aged
mother, who is one of the old pioneers
of Huron Co., having resided 'within
its boundaries for 50 years or more,
and who is well known by some of the
older residents of this vicinity. This
old lady, who now resides within the
range of three miles of our village, is
the mother of thirteen children, has
never used fifty cents' worth of medi-
cine, and has never had the services
of a doctor in all her life, and although
she has just passed her 88th birthday,
she has every appearance of having
many more years added to her life.
anyone doubts these statements,the
name can be given and. at the same
time if there is another woman in
Huron county that can show a better
record, this good old lady would like
to hear of the same.
—We also make mention of an ac-
tive old man in the person of Mr.
Peter Woolley of Henna, who the past
week was chatting with the writer.
Mr. Wooley states that he was boni
80 years ago on the fame in Tucker -
smith, near Egmondville, of the late
Edwin Creswell. His father, the
late William Wooley came to Canada
in, 1812 and after many years of wan-
dering in the wilderness he found his
way to the Huron Tract; which at that
time was nothing but a dense wilder-
ness. In 1883 and 1834, when trees
were being cut down to open up -what
is now the London road. Mr. Vitool-
ey's father drew the logs off the road.
with a yoke of oxen, the distance
from Exeter to Clinton,and his helper
in the work wee a young man of 18
years, who after some years studied
law and who itt after years became a
judge, being well known as Judge
Cooper, of this county and who was
a resident of Goderich for many years.
Mr. Peter Wooley, who is well known
to most of the residents of South Hur-
on, is now in his 81st year, and has
seen the hard side of life itt ail shapes;
as be was only eight years old when
his father died. Mr. Wooley follows
his profession of pruning and
gft-
ing fruit trees, and despite his great
age, can climb the highest apple tree
as nimbly as a man half his years.
He can also read the finest print with-
out glasses and en still step off the
Highland Fling, Sailor's liornpiPe and
Irish Jig and take Ins part in many
other dances. Be is bale and hearty
and says he has no thought of leaving -
this world for some years yet.. It is
the hope of all, that this worthy cou-
ple, of which we have made mention,
will still have many bright and happy -
years added to their long livea.
