• THE WAR SITUATION
There has been bitter fighting on
the Western front in Flanders during
the pest week. Since the Germans
gained Mont Kemmel they -have been
making ceaseless efforts to take all
the hill positions along the atessines
Ridge so as to gain a dominating Pos-
• ition, andethus force the Allies to pull
back their lines. The Allied lines
have not been pulled back, however
and the enemy have practically gain-
ed nothing during the week. Although
" their gains have been nil, their losses
have not and all reports state that
the slopes off the ridge are covered.
with grey uniformed: men. On Mon-
day the enemy launched what is said
to be the Most lavage attack since the
great 'advsiece !started.-- All day the
Gentian Commands seat their men in
waves against the British, each wave
as it fell, being replaced by a new one
a and the battle waged back and forth
all day. When night came, the Brit-
ish were- still there, however, and the
Getanatets hacanot gained a foot, and in
fact, in eorne places had lost ground.
Since then the German generals have
been busy reforming their brokett
divisions and, bringing up reserves to,
replace the great numbers of men who
gave their lives in 'the fruitleas as-
saults, by which they had .haped to
' gain the ridges. Although the cap-
ture of Mont kernmel was a very dim

• Germans have notabeen able to make
very much use of it, because of the
fact that the Allies keep it so smoth-
ered' with gun fire that it has been
impossible for them to occupy it in
force. Although the struggle has died
down somewhat :since Monday,- there
is no question bat that, it will be re-
sumed just as soon as Germany can
get her troops re -arranged again. For
the first time, however, since the great
German drive beagn the Allies, seem
• to have put a genuine stumbling block
in the pathway of German progress
and the German steam roller has been
slowed down almost to a standstilL,
Whether this check will be permanent
or not remains to be seen. German
man power, has not by any means yet
.been exhausted, but the recent offen-
sive has taken a terrible toll of lives,
and if the Allies hold their lines as
they have been doing without
the use of their reserve • troops,
we may leak for the end before
very long. We do not mean that the
Germans will be so thoroughly beaten
that the way to Berlin will be open,
but on the other hand if the German
war lords find that the Western line
cannot be broken, no matter how they
sacrifice their men. their hope of a
German peace, which would -mean- a
peace on their own terms, will fade
and they will be forced to accept a
peace of another kind before the man-
hood of their -country is utterly des-
troyed.
There have been persistent rumors
since Sunda- that there has been an-
other revolution he Russia and that a
monarchy has been re-establiehed with
the former Czar's son, as neer with
Grand Duke Michael as Regent. These
reports which apparently originated
in Stockholm have notahowever, been
'confirmed either from Petrograd or
•Moscow and are believed to be of
- German origin.

CANADA'S NEW TAXES -
New taxes will be levied by the
Dominion Goverranent and existing
taxes will be made heavier in 'order
to meet the growing strain upon the
finances of the country consequent up-
on the continuance of the war. The
details of the taxation- proposals for
the present fiscal year were announc-
ed by Hon. A. K. MacLean, Acting
Minister of Finaece, in his budget
statement in the House of Commons
on Tuesday. From the bringing df
those proposals into operation, it is
unofficially estimated, will result an
increase of , some fifty million dollars
in the revenues of the Dominion..
Most importaat of the steps to be
taken is the amendment of the
incorae War Tax: Act. Changes are
to be made in that measure which
will make the taxation upon incomes
in Canada somewhat higher on the
whole than the taxation imposed in
the United States.
The exemptions allowed in the Act
are to be reduced. Minn $1,500 to
$1,000 in, the case of .unmarried per-
sons, and from -0,000 to $2,000 in
the case of 'married persons. Fur-

$25,000 and -upwards. Under the old
Act no concern with- less than $50,-

panies and partnerships employing
from $25,900 to $50,090, will be one-
quarter of all profits to excess of 10,

Canada is to have a tax upon tea
such as has been .in force* in Eng-
land for many years. • Tea, which
has heretofore been admitted to
Canada free of Customs .duties, will
hereafter be subject to a duty of 10
cents a pound. Moreoier, ell tea
stocks exceeding 1,000 pounds . held
by any importer or dealer will 'be
subject to a war excise tax of like
amount. The taxation on tea will, it
is estimated,. bring a revenue of

Customs duties on Icoffee and chic-

dities in their var ous forms are
slightla more than dubled.
' Both excise and customs duties
en tobacco in its various ,forms are
increased. The excise duty on manu-
factured -tobacco is raised from 10
cents a pound to 20 cents a pound;
that on cigars from $3 to $6 a thou-
sand; on cigars in packages con-
taitiing less than tea from $4 to $7
a thousand; .on cigarettes weighing
not more than three pounds a .thous -
sand from $3 to 86 a thousand; on
cigarettes weighing more than
three pounds a -thousand from $8 to
$11 a thousand.
The exciee impost on foreign leaf
tobacco has been raised from 28 to
40 cents a pound, and on. foreign
leaf tobacco stenunecl from 42 to 60
cents a pound.
Canadian -grown tobacco will be
liable to a tax of only five cents a
pound. -Customs duties on tobacco
are also increased.
The duty on cigars and cigar,-
ettes will be raised 60 cents a
pound; that on cut tobacco 30 cents
a pound, and that on manufactured
tobacco and snuff a0 cents a pound.
. From the increase in the tobacco
taxation it is estimated an increase
in revenue of some $8,000,000 :will be
derived.
The taxes to be levied upon
matches and playing cards will be
collected by means of Stamps. an
eath box of matches will have to be
affixed a stamp of -the value of one
cent for every hundred matches,
and to each pack of cards a stamp
to the value of eight cents. In re-
spect of the tax to be imposed upon
automobiles, gramophones, mechani-
cal piano and organ players and ,
jewelry the amount, payable will be
10 per cent. on the selling price in
the case of articles manufactured in
Canada and 10 per cent, of thei"duty-

than many who walk about. His
-great interest in ife lay in. the child-

read as he read book. The 'little.
people gathered bout his sick bed '
and brought to hii their triumphs
and their -sorrows. Though he eould
not join them he p aimed their gitmes
and amusements from his windov. He
had gifts both as a writer and aii ar-
tist. His -drawings, chiefly in pen and
ink, have appeared in most of the.
papers. and magatin s in Canada, and
his poems and litera y sketches found
an enviable .place. In 1915 he drew
a series of recruiting sketches that
had a large circulati n. For some
years he had been at work, as he was
able on a series of critical articles
on the Canadian poets Most of these
were published, but his strength fail-
ed him before the work was clone. He
was above all, an optfrnjst. who, des-
pite years of ill -health, could leak out
upon the world with a kindly smile,
and if smiles did not grow beside him
they scion sprang from his whimsical
fancies and his quiet humor. While

Death of a Soldier. -The people of
the aillage and vicinity were shocked
last Thursday when the news was re-
ceived of the sudden death of one of
our highly esteemed young men in
the person of Victor Evans, youngest
son of Mr, and Mrs'. ,William Evans,
of this village. He was born on Oc-
tober 16th, 1896, at the ,Town of
Bradford. Thirten years 'ago, he with
his parents, moved to the township of
Stanley on. the Sauble • Line. After
finishing his schooling he became a,
schocd teacher and for a time taught
school- on the Parr Line, Stanley.
Last year he -felt it his duty to defend
his country and willingly offered him-
self and enlisted in the Aviation Corps.
During. the winter he Was in Texas,
and had just recently come to Mohawk
Camp, Ontario, and was making rapid
-progress in his :training course, and
had just safely alighted and was leav-
ing the aeroplane when, he was hit on
the head by the propeller, and killed
instantly. The remains *ere brought
home for interment, the funeral tak-
ing place on Siniday afternoon. ' After
a short service at the house, the re-
mains were taken to St. Andrew's ,
Church where' the main service was
held, Rev. A. Macfarlane conducting
the services, assisted by Itevds, W.
Aihe-Everest . and W. E. . Darling.
The pulpit an railing were appropri-
ately araped, • A large number were
unable to gain admission to the church
it being so filled. The choir was as-
sisted ny Harold. Holmes of Clinton,
a particular friend of the deceased,
who sang very feelingly, "Peace, Per-
fect Peace." The pall -bearers were

c)
and Mrs. Evans have bly done their
part in, this time of our country's
crisis. „Their eldest son has been, in
the fight almost from the first, and

terrible accident, and he was suddei-

to the higher service, of heaven. We
mourn his loss, but with our aorrow
there mingles a sense of pride in the
spirit he showed. He has made 'the
supreme sacrifice. He has given hie
life for us. What more could he give?
What greater sacrifice could he make?
Sacrifice is religion. Like the Master
he gave himself for others, and froia
His lips, we doubt not, he has already
heard the welcome, i"Well demi good
and faithful servanta enter thou into
the joy of a-- Lord." And so we leave,
him with Christ. Where better could
we leave him? He knew best what
was bmit-L-for him and for us.
as he followed the soldier's call, and
walked in the soldier's way, he has the
soldier's promise, "He that ioseth. bis
