OUR VANISHING ARMADA The theory that the Minister of Marine scrapped the Canadian navy out of pique because the caucus said wait -a -bit to any or all of Admiral Jellicoe's suggestions will not hold water. Mr. Ballantyne may be some- thing of a dictator in his own depart- ment, but he could hardly make way with sixteen million dollars worth of national property on his mere say-so. The thing was done deliberately af- ter earnest consulations with his colleagues, and next to dropping Mr. Rowell or getting after the pro- fiteers, it is the most popular thing Union- Government could have done in a year of Sundays. The hope is expressed that it foreshadows other slashing retrenchments by a Govern. trent which has at most two years to live, and might as well go to its grave with a record of necessary and disagreeable things done in a courage- ous way. At all events there are no real com- plaints about our vanished navy from any quarter, the general sentiment being that a good riddance has been made of bad rubbish. The farmer members are openly delighted. Que- bec, which never had any use for a navy anyway, wears a broad grin. The prairie provinces pin their faith enore than ever to box cars. Ontario believes that any money we have to spend on ships is better applied to a merchant navy than to a war fleet. In short everybody ie satisfied ex- cept a few people in Halifax and Esquimault and Ottawa who will be let out =of their jobs. Round Tables Good -Bye The sadly solemn fact is that Can- ada has never been in love with her navy. What Sir Wilfrid Laurier did in the matter was under pressure from the imperialists and what -Sir Robert Borden failed to do in a sim- ilar direction was a squeeze from the same quarter. Our navy, actual or potential pleased only a few imperial- ists of the Round Table type, put Quebec's nose out of joint, offended the West and left the East cold. It was mighty poor business all round. It sopped up a lot of money, caused a lot of bad feeling and had no prac- tical results worth mentioning. Its disappearance will sweeten public opinion which is dead sick of war and all its works. Imperialists are about as scarce as Ilene' teeth, in Canada just now. The war about cleared them out. Some of our most stalwart imperialists werit overseas as colonels and such. but the mud and blood of Flanders affected a rapid cure. Such of them as I saw at the front told me, one and all, that they had repented and that from now on they were Canadians clear through. I believe the doctrine is still whispered that when England is at war Canada is at 1744, but the statement lacks conviction. The revised version seems to be that when England is at war Canada may be at war, but it will be England that does the fighting and pays the bills. Not to put too fine a point on it, Canada has fought her last war overseas. It runs into much treasure of blood and money and we have business of our own to mind where the profits are greater. We keep our British connection, of course so long as it is expedient, but in the future, we don't let it drag us into European quarrels. They're a queer breed of cats over there in Europe, especially the middle -Europe crowd, brought up to believe that war is an outdoor sport. The less we have to do with this darnphoolishness the better. We are disposed to agree with Uncle Sam who refuses to lend any more money to people who would rather fight than work. • Washing Our Hands. she wants to borrow our money to I confirm her bad habits. We were of twenty-five million dollars which, I quixotic enough to offer her a credit very luckily, she did not take up.it wasn't that she despised the money,* but she had her eve on a seven hun- dred and fifty million dollar credit from the United States. Failing to get it she cannot say anything too bad about our good neighbor. Ru- mania had no such scruples. Ruman- ia took the twenty-five million credit we offered her and gave a note for it. Rumania will take anything and give a note for it. It's about the best thing she does. No More Mud Pies. When we scrap our navy we with- draw from fl this, overseas madness and allow the maniacs to argue it out for themselves. Moreover we shed a great deal of expense and a rather sniffy crowd of British naval officers whom we borrowed to teach us the tricks. They taught us some' of the tricks, Perhaps, but, they didn't popu- larize the navy as an institution by their hoity-toity manners. We love England, no doubt, but not enough to support an expensive navy whose duty it would be to mix in all the mud pies they make in Europe. We have financial troubles of our own which we will muddle through, thank you, but we dot -it fancy taking over anybody else's debts or encouraging a •navy that looks like a promissory note made Out to the British Empire. I can honestly say that I have not heard one member of Parliament coni - plain of our defenceless position since the navy went 1» the junk heap. We are friendly with the Esquimaux and the Yankees and, these sources of invasions being diecounted, we haven't an enemy in sight that we couldn't fend off with one birch bark war - canoe. The United _States is build - a bigger navy than England's and if Japan eve e threatens to bite us in the leg we feel perfectly safe there too. The navy out of the way, Iunder- stand that we are to concentrate on an air force. Aeroplanes have this advantage -they are as useful in peace as in war. For example at the next general election why shouldn't we use 'em to drop pamph- lets on the beleaguered cities, plant colonies of voters where they will do the most good, and then whisk 'etn away as soon as they've got their work in. -H. F. G. Anybody who has visited Europe. since the war was over will tell you that revenge is still the uppermost thought in men's minds and that the Little Nations we were so keen to free make use of their freedom to scrag each other. The trouble is that they are not educated .up to democracy._ • On the contrary they are sunk in ignorance. What they need even more than freedom is pub- lic schools. It goes without saying that we cannot afford to mix up with the Dark Ages, as explained by the Rumanian, Bulgarian, Ultranian, Pol- ish and other backward peoples. When we fight for them again they will be worth fighting for. When we scrap our navy we serve notice that we wash our hands of them until they are fit for enlightened company, What we want is not ships to fight their foolish battles, but ships to carry our own trade -and by the same token we must' be careful whom we trade with' in that bunch of bank- rupts. We must take the cash and, let the credit go. This North Amer- ica is a world by itself, guarded by , two oceans and the breasts of free men. We are secure in 0111 own puis- sance and if the old world wants to commit suicide, it must not reckon • on our interference. Of Germany and Russia I say nothing but even France, civilized as she is, goes a -whoring after her gods of revenge and glory.

Of this sum $2,440 were for Missions and benevolence, :$1,15'7 for the budget, $705 were raised by the Women's Societies and Mission Band. There was paid on the new sheds $2,286, leaving a bal- ance of $2,233 for salaries and run- ning expenses The church is well equipped, having purchased a new in- dividual • communion. service, a new piano for the Sunday School room and built a new shed 230 feet by 50 feet with concrete walls and corrugated steel roof, rolling doors and roof lights. This shed affords great ac- commodation to all and is, we be- lieve, second to none in ethe county, in fact there are few in Ontario to compare with it. The church is in a 'very prosperous condition. The best • of fellowship exists between • their pastor, Rev. W. D. McIntosh, and the congregation. • There is a membert ship of 355, the largest number that has ever been on the roll. Besides accomplishing all this they have got away with a good start for this year. Early in Jangary a Forward Movement Committee was organized. with Mr. Jas. Moodie, chairman, R. P. Watson, treasurer, who in com- pany with hie enthused staff of _can- vassers received subscriptions for more than their objective, which was $4,193.'72. Of this amount over $500 came through the Sunday school. A large amount of this was cash and has been sent to the head office of the Forward Movement in Toronto. Notes. -Miss M. J.

The Late Michael Tully. -It is with feelings. of sincere and profound re- gret that I record the death of Mr. Michael Tully, of McKillop, Conces- sion 4, 'lot 5. . The writer of this brief obituary notice was leng and intitnately acquainted. with him. In his early days he was a paragon of moral and social rectitude. He work- ed on the farm with his father till his early manhood, when, like many others, he took the advice of Horace Gree, who -said, "Young men go west,' and young Mr. Tully did go west, end arrived at the Mississippi River and put up at Grand Forks, North Dakota. Kind nature endowed him with an excellent physique, tall and acttve personality. Such, young men are eagerly looked after for the police force in Grand Forks as in other cities, and he was induced to join the force, which he did. He was a stranger there, no person knew him, hence none to recmnmed him. But his best friends were his sobriety, his punctuality, vigilance, prompt man- agement of everything that fell to his lot to perform. These were the friends that paved his way to prefer- ment. Before very long he was ap- pointed Deputy or Junior Chief. While acting in said capacity he received a very severe stroke of paralysis which for some time rendered him speech- less and deprived him of all power of movement. His brother William, now of Iron City, Michigan, went to • hif: relief and remained with him till he was fit to be removed to the old happy home of his childhood, where loving mother and sisters nursed him back to partial strength, and though he was able to do considerable work he never recovered completely from • the effects of the first stroke over thirty years ago. His last indisposi- tion came suddenly while doing some light work about the barn, he fell and was unconscious for some time, but recovered and managed to get to the house alone but could not go up the steps to the door without help. All that medical skill could do and all the tender care of his sisters could only alleviate but could not cure. Whether it was weakness of the heart or a slight stroke I do not know, but the illness developed into pneumonia, and though he was sinking 'gradually he could speak to all who called to see him. And after being fortified by all the consoling rites of the church he breathed his last on the 16th ef March, at the age of sixty-four years. The funeral took place on the 19th inst. from the old homestead to St. Columban, where High Mass was of- fered up by Rev. Father White, after which the sorrowing friends and a large procession of • sympathizing neighbors followed the remains of this man to their resting place. Requiescant en pace. -Communicated.

Died in the West -Tuesday of last week Mrs. Henry Dougall, of the London Road, a couple of miles south of our village, left here for Winni- peg ins response to a telegram advis- ing the family of the very critical illness of her eon, Harry Imrie Don - gall, and Mrs. Dougall just managed to reach her son's bedside in the evening previous to the following morning on which he died, but it was a 'great satisfaction to her to know that he knew her. He knew her, al- though so very weak and near the end but looking up he said, "Oh mother, I have been thinking so much af you all at home and I knew that you would come," and so soon after he passed peaceully away to the home on high, where there are no more partings or death, but it was sad indeed to the mother's heart to see her beloved son who had so bravely enlisted with the Winnipeg Contingent early in the war pass away so soon after the great war was over, and from which he had returned with honors but not without wounds and being gassed, for Sgt. Dougall had seen very active ser- vice in the Machine Gun: Battery and had been an instructor for some time in England, and after returning here last summer and visiting his father and mother and the rest of the family he returned in training in the college there in the machinery department in which he took so much interest and was so well adapted for. On Tuesday morning last Mrs. Dougall arrived here acconipanied by the remainsand the funeral from the home was held on Wednesday afternoon last to the Hensel' Union Cemetery and Was very largely attended, the pallbearers be- inging the three sons of Mr. John Rowcliffe, George Jackson, Alpine McEwen and Ben Case. The funeral ceremony was conducted by the Rev. J. A. McConnell who paid high tri- bute to the deceased noble soldier, who had first suffered from the flu, which was so fatal in the West and which after developed into pneumonia and •finally going to the heart, which was the immediate cause of death.
