THE SASKATCHEWAN ELECTION.
The Liberals swept Saskatchewan
almost clean in Tuesday's elections,
and will have more than 50 of the
59 seats in the Legislature, a greater
majority than was accorded the Scott
Governnient in 1912.
Of the seven Conservatives in the
last Hodse, only two are definitely
e; known at. midnight to be re-elected,
W. B. Willoughby, the Opposition
leader, and Lieut. -Col. Glenn who
was net opposed by the Liberals in
South QuiAppelle,„ but was opposed
by an Independent. The only other
Conservative elected is Donald Mc-
Lean, in Saskat,onti City. The win-
ning of Saskatoon city Constitutes the
Conservatives' only gain from the
Liberals.
On the other hand the Liberals
wrested Lumsden, Moose Jaw county,
Prince Albert and Willow Bunch
from the Opposition, while returns
from Maple Creek are still se
in-
compiete as to give no indication of
the result.
All the Labor, Independent and
Non-partisan League candidates suf-
fered defeat. -
'The majorities secured by the Cab-
inet Ministers are in many cases,
• very large. Hon. J. A. Calder, over
1,600; Premier Martin, about 900;
Hon. C. A. Dunning over 1000; Hon.
George A. Bell, over 700.
THE WAR SITUATION.
Things are beginning to liven up on
the western front after a week of
ccmparative quiet and Gen. Haig's
troops are again on the move and
pressing towards Lens,the great coal
city of France so long &Id and so val •
-sable to the Gentians. With the cap-
ture of Lens, will Come the evacuatior
of a large section of country by the
etemy, but every indication points te
the fact that the •enemy is not going
to give up Lens without a bitter fight
The Germans have taken advantage of
the fact that the Allied troops have
been sparing thecity as rauch as poss-
it-le by refraining from shelling it:
and have moved their artillery into the
city from where it lege been shelling
the British lines ineomparetive safety.
Every house, tem has been made a
stronghold and ,every cellar a refuge.
Certain parts of the city have been
razed so as to have a clear field for
their guns with Which to sweep the
British troops, in their r lvance. Now
however, the Allies are about to take
the city at any cost and are going
about this work in the systematic
way that has marked all their -ad-
vances and are shelling these gun
pcsitions in the city. to such goodef-
fect that the German losses are al-
ready very heavy and new drafts of
supports are being constantly pushed
into the breach. That real progress
is being made is shown by the fact
that where only 500 yards have been
gained here during the past six weeks
now there is an advance on a wide
front and Hill 65, which dominates
the height in this section has been
captured and captured with compara-
tive ease. The Germans considered
this position so necessary to their wel-
fare and safety, that prisoners report
they were promised a rest if they were
successful in a counter-attack. Even
this bribe, however, was unavailing,
for not only:did they fail in their at-
tack, but were forced to evacuate
whole complicated lines of trenches
before and around the hill and have
fallen back to the outskirts of Lens
itself. The Canadians are again in
action on this front and doing their
work thoroughly, as always. On
Tuesday morning they captured the
village of Coulotte and have forced
the Germans back from a line nearly
two miles in length and are iaow con-
solidating the lines they have taken.
The best feature of their recent suc-
cess is that the casualties were re-
markably few, the village being oc-
cupied without a single fatality. On
the French line their troops have also
been very sucessful and on Monday
night they captured the whole German
front line near Rheims and took over
300 prisoners. Previous to this the
fighting for some time had consisted
of artillery duels; which have been
very heavy, the Germans, turi
ieost of their attention to the city o
Rheims, which is slowly being de-
molished.
Despatches from. Germany speak
more and more frequently of renewed
activit7 on the Russian front. There
has not yet been any heavy offensive
.action fought, but the Russian offen-
theetet
sive seems to be stiffening and they
have been indulging in numerous raids
-Which hiete netted them a Member of
mitioneri. The sort of truce which
has existed between Russian and Ger-
min soldiers since the revolution,
manse to havebeset.broketi and while
as yet the Bassialla can scarcely -be
said to be theinsilires again, their lat-
est activities auger well for the fut-
ure and seem to be giving Germany
deep cause for concern. Any activity
on the _part of Russia just now will be
welcomed by the Allied armies.
The situation in Greece his, some-
what improved. Former Premier
Venizelos has been asked by the new.
king to form a cebinet, and Venizelos
has always been a staunch fried of
the Allies. There is not much likeli-
hood of Greece entering the war for
-wine time, but the Allies have the
assurance now that there will be no
treachery. French tro• ps have been
landed and are quartered in Athens,
but disturbances of any kind have
net occurred since King Constantine
and his German wife were .asked to
walk out.

CENTRALIA.
Fatal Shoek.—Shocked to such a
degree by a flash ef lightning which
seemed to enter the room in which she
lay beside a neighbor, Mrs. M.Bloorn-
field, an aged lady of Centralia,
died early Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Bloomfield's relatives were at Exeter,
and when a heavy atorm commenced
she went to the home of a neighbor.
They were in bed together when the
flash of lightning came, and the neigh-
bor noticed that Mrs.Bloomfield gasp-
ed and then was quiet. Her heart
ceased to beat just as the room was
illuminated. Medical attendance -was
stmunoned, and death was pronounced
due to heart failure superinduced by
shock. She was in her 76th year.
BRUSSELS.
Pretty June Wedding.—At high
noon on Tuesday, June 19th, the com-
modious residence of Mr. apd Mrs.
Philip Ament, Turnberry street, was
the scene of a pretty wedding, when
a former well known Brusselsite, in
the person of Mr. John , R. Lynn,
and son of Mr. and Mrs.! James Lyn i
of Fordwich, was united in marriage
te Miss Caroline Estella A.; daughter
of the host and hostess. As the wed-
ding march was being played by Miss
Kate Ament, sister of the • bride, the
principals took their places, the bride
being given away by her father. Rev,
A. J. Mann, B. A., performed the
ctremony in the presence of thirty-
five guests. While the register was
being signed Mr. Robert Coates, of
London, the bride's cousin, sang "Con-
stancy" in good voice, The &cid look-
ing bride wore her travelling suit of
navy blue. After the guests had par-
taken of a wedding dinner the of-
ficiating elergyman proposed the
health of the bride in very felicitous
terips, and the groom made a fitting
rep . Among the wedding gifts were
cheques from the fathers of both the
bride and groom. The happy couple
left for a short wedding trip to the
est, after which they will make theie
home in Wellcerville, where the greom
has a !seed ptsiti .n. Many good wishes
attend them for a long, happy.- and
erosperous married life. i
LEADBURY.
Notes.—Mr. John Clark has pur-
chased the farm of Mr. Samuel Mc-
Pherson, sr., and Mr. McPherson has
gone to reside in Seaforth. "He was
one of the very earliest settlers in the
northern section of McKillop. --The
statute labor is about fmished . This
worlemust be done or the roads would
soon be in a bad way.—Mr. 5. J.
Irvine has been on a visit to relatives

days. His daughter has been home
from western Canada on an extended
visit and on her return he went with
her as far as Toronto .—Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Constable have been vieting
friends in St.Marys.—A good time is
looked for in Mr. William' Leeming's
grove, adjoining' No. 9 school -house,
next Saturday afternoon. Come with
the crowd .—Mr. William Smith has
sold his 100 acre farm to a Mr. Fish-
er, the purchase price being about
$5,500 .—Mr. J. J. Irvine reeeived
word that a nephew, Capt. Wilbert
Bailey is wounded and in a hospital in
London. He is an aviator. 'Mr. Ile
vine has six nephews in the Canadian
army and two in the Ammdcan navy,
the latter having been born in the
United States. There is a good deal
of military spirit and patriotism in
the family connection.— A small num-
ber of the people here are opposed te
conscription. Like the French-Capad ,
ians, they want to win the war, hitt do,
not want to run any risk of getting
hurt; just let the other fellows do the
fighting. To us this looks narrow and
selfish and far from patriotic or
manly.
LAKELET.
Breezes.—Since the advent of the
war there is little or no boating or
fishing done on this lake. On Friday,
four of the stalwarts of Palmerston
with a beautiful McLaughlin car spent
the day fishing frogs and they got a
whole lot of them. They tell us of the
delicious dish frogs Make when fitted
for the table, but everything in the
shape of eating will be scarcer than
it is now when we tackle the frog•—
The annual picnic under the auspices
of the Ladies Patriotic Circle will be
held in Andrew Allan's bush on July
2nd. The different committees are at
work getting things in shape and no
doubt there will be a big crowd and
as good a time as there was the pat
two years. — John Heinbecher hes
moved out of the burg to the farin
he recently purchased from George
Hubbard.—Mrs. Jas. Wright sr., has
purchased the little house in the east
end of the burg and is preparing to
move into it. There is not a single

There is a mania for Ford cars in
this community. Since the first of May
the following have bought cars from
the local agent here, Henry Huth, viz.:
Edgar Henry ,Adam Reis, William
Reis, William Deitz, John Darroch, F.
C. Mahood, And. Allan, Sangster Bros.
W. A. Cook, Burnett Bros., Garnet
Wright, Welter Wright, S. W. Fergu-
son, David Hoskins, Lot Vine, Thos.
Iinglis and Joe Heinbecher also pur-
chased cars, but not from the local
agent. This does not took very much
lite hard times. — Many from this
ronimunity attend each evening a ser-
ies of meetings given by a group of
evangelists in Fordwich. They have a
tent on the school grounds with a
-eating capacity of 500, so we are
fold. Of the 25 or 30 car opneris in
this locality there is but one: Chevro-
let, the .rest being all Fords.—Mies
Lovell, teacher here, clefts school on
Tueedg.—Mist Higgendon, of S. S. She will -return after the

WINGHAM.
The Late W. E. Groves. -LA gloom
was cast over Wingham and district
on Tuesday morning when the death
in Toronto; the previous night of W . E.
Groves, principal of Ryerson Public
School there; and a native of Wing -
ham, was learned of. Mr. Groves
was in his 58th year. He was born
in Wingham and was educaed here.
He was principal of the Peel school
for five years and moved to Toronto
28 years ago. He leaves his widow
and two sons, Lieut. Harold, and Pte.
Allan Groves, both in the trenches in
France. Mr. Groves was a member
of the Masonic Order, Independent
Order of Foresters and the Workmen.
He was a man very much respected
and beloved by iel who. knew him. Mr.
John Groves, town clerk of Wingham,
is a brother. In religion he was an
.Anglican and in Politics a strong Con-
servative. "Principal Groves was one
of the best known ptiblic school men in
Ontario, and onelef the ablest princi-
pals on the Toronto staff," was one
tribute of Chief Inspector R. H.
Cowley to the late principal of Ryer-
son Public School. Principal Groves
was the head of the largest public
school, not only in Toronto but in all
Canada a school of 41 classes and over
1800 pupils. He was deservedly pop-
ular and his death was as a severe
shock to his teahere and pupils. He
was in his 28th year of his service
for the Toronts? Board of Education.
Associates of the dead principal say
that ,he was much worried over the
welfare of his two sons at the front
In addition ,to this he had the shock
of receiving the neivs that one of his
sons had been killed, a report that
soon afterwards proved to be false,
Recently Mr. Groves sent for one of
the Scholar nurses hearing that she was
going overseas as a nurse, and asked
her to look out for his boys at the
front. He read letters from them and
sobbed inithe intensity of his emotion.
It is thought that it was this concern
for his sons at the firing line that
hastened his death. There was a
large attendance of trustees,principals
and teachers at his funeral.
S. coLungAs.
Going Overseas. --The congregation
wept' here on Sunday morning when
their much beloved paStor, Rev. Fath-
er White, announced to them his in-
tention of going overseas es chaplain
at. an early date. Father White has
labored continuously among his peo-
ple here for the past Jive and a half
years and was ever ready when duty
celled him, to help them in any way
available. Now he is responding to
.e call of his cou itry and while his
parishieners keenly feel the loss of his
going, they feel justly proud of him
and hope soon to haitethim back with
them again. Pather, White has made
nrany friends in the stihrounding coun-
try who .join with his . beloved people
of St. Columban in Wishing 1 im a
safe journey and a 3afe return. On
Sunday evening the parishioners met
Father White at his honie and pre-
sented him -with a well filled purse.
Father White feelingly replied.
June Wedding.—A very pretty wed-
ding took place at St. Columban
church, on Monday morning, June 25,
at nine o'clock, when Miss -Katharine
McCardle, daughter of. Mr. and Mrs.
Michael McCardle, of Beechwood, was
united in marriage to Mr. William
Anderson, of Seaforth. The bride
looked charming in a lovely gown of
white georgette crepe embroidered
with beads, wearing a white picture
hat and carrying a shewer �f bridal
roses. Miss Mary* MeCardle of De-
troit, was her sister :bridesmaid, she
being dressed in .paiest pink silk
crepe de chene, with,white hat with
touches of 'pink and carried a bouquet
of pink carnations. The hrele's cous-
in, Miss Teresa Lynch was a dainty
maid of honor, in white ninnon, em-
broidered in rosebuds, anil wore a
large pink hat of silk* and tulle with
fiovving streamers and carried a bou-
quet of sweetheart roses. The best
men were Mr. Louis McGrath and Mr.
Louis Maloney. After the ceremony
the bridal party motored to the home
of the bride's parents, where a sump-
tuous Wedding dinner awaited them.
Rev. Father White honored the fes -
titre occasion with his presence. Later
in the afternoon the bride and groom
left to spend a short honeymoon in
Toronto, and other eastern pointe,
the bride travelling in a navy blue
thilored suit with hat to match. The
many friends of the young couple
wish them a long, happy and prosper-
ous' manied life,

Notes.—The distinguished Principal
of Knox College, Toronto, paid a visit
to Kippen last Sabbath, and preached
in the morning in St. Andrew's church
to a very large audience, Knox Col-
lege is the largest of the theological
colleges of the Presbyterian Church in
Canada, and among the greatest of
the theological colleges in the world.
The Rev. Dr. Gaudier worthily holds
the position of Principal, and he came
to Kippen to share with, the people
there his fine spirituality, his broad
outlook, and his overflowing enthusi-
asm. Next Sunday at St. Andrew's
church there will be a special servece
in the Sabbath school, beginning at
9.45, to which all, both old and young,

same old lady, only the writer igave
Mrs. Ingram the credit of having thir-
teen children, whereas the actual
number Was eleven. As we have reet
beard �f any other lady who can equal
Min. Ingram's record, to h,er must be-

the best of her life. Since returning
home Miss Mellis has been engaged
as teacher in school section No. 3,

been taught for several years by Mr.
Harry Horton. The trustees of No. 3
school are very fortunate in securing

HENSALL. '
Burglary.—Sometime during the
early morning hours of Tuesday. dur-
ing a heavy thunderstorm, the hard-
ware and furniture stores of Messrs.
Bonthron ard Drysdale, were entered
1 by thieves, who we believe, gained ad-
mittance by taking up the gratin.' and
entering from below the -premises.
They stole quite a quantity of silver
ware, razors, knives and forks and
other such articles as were contained
in a large showcase. They al's() broke
into khe Grand Trunk Railway,Station
and went through some valises that
were there, but evidently did not find
much of value. We believe that abou.:
