DOMESTIC TRAGEDY AT PORT ELGIN The Kincardine Reporter tells the fol- lowing "after -the -war" story: The war bas developed many sad situations and one came to a head, here on Monday morning, when a returned soldier found bis wife living on South Street with an- other man. Pte. Charles Johnston en- listed in Port Elgin in 1916 with the 160th Battalion. He went overseas, fought and did his bit. On Saturday last he ieturned to Port Elgin and hoped to be greeted by his wife and two children, but such was not the case, Enquiry elicited the fact that she had left Port, and was living in Kincardine. Pte. Johnston and some friends came here, and found her living on South St. across the foot bridge with a man named Ernie McDonald, When Johnston rapped at the front door, Mc- Donald tried to get out by the rear door, but was stopped at the point of a gun in the hands of one of Johnston's friends. Chief Farrell was summoned and McDon ald placed in jail, He was sentenced on Tuesday, the 10th, to one year in jail with hard labour, The trial took place before J. A. McKenzie. The unfortunate wom- an comes of a good family near Port El- gin, and her infatuation for. McDonald is a mystery. McDonald formerly lived at Wallaceburg. DISTRICT 'NEWS On a recent afternoon a Chinaman, on delivering laundry at the home of Major Heaman in Exeter, noticed that one room was filled with smoke and on investiga- tion he found the hydro iron was burning into the wood on which it was resting. Not knowing the combination he called in a neighbor and the power was soon turn. ed off and the board taken out side. A few minutes more, however, and the re- sult might have been different. Mrs. Heaman' had been using the iron and being called away for a few minutes she omitted to shut off the power. The $15,000,000 Steel Company which was to have located at Goderich has de- cided to choose a site elsewnere. Mr. B, H. McCreath explains the many difficul. ties and obstacles with which be came in contact and that he lost several thousand dollars for which he gets no thanks, Some people appear to be very migrate• ful to anyone wile tries to boost their town.

Mr, and Mrs. McGee are moving to Belgrave where they will epend the even - ng of their lives, Mr. and Mrs. Johh McGee. Dear friends and neighbours: " In view of your early departure from this neighbourhood, where you have spent so many long years, being among the earl' jest pioneers of this locality: Young and strong, full of hope for the future, you entered into the battle of life in the back- woods of Huron, with dauntless courage. Days of privation you endured but these were also days of social joy and happiness. Many changes you have seen during your long residence here, changes never dreamed of in those olden days,- While riding in a lumber wagon you never thought of the auto. While neighbours were far apart and hard to meet in con- versation, you did not expect to sit in your home and talk with your neighbours, for miles around. But these material changes are not what brought us here to- night and have endeared you to us, your neighbours. In the homes of distress and sorrow you were always ready with the helping hand and the kindly word, Your sympathies were broad and deep to all in need. None appealed for help in vain. ' And thus dear friends we have invaded` your home to -night to manifest in a tang- ible form, our appreciation of those many acts of kindness.. In presenting you with these chairs, we would ask you to accept them net for their intrinsic value, but as a token of kindness on our part May you live long to enjoy their comfort and ease and may they kindle in your hearts tender memories of by -gone days and the friends left behind, and while we regret the parting we shall not forget, and hope to meet where parting shall be no more. May you soon gain many friends, That'll prove both true and kind, But still we hope you'll not forget, The friends you've left behind. Signed by,- • John Gibbons, James Dow, Robert Shiell.

DRUGLESS PHYSICIAN CHIROPRACTIC war, and during its first two years, Henderson was regarded as a steadying influence among the labor element in the house and in the country; Even an important Tory journal said of him: "He is the re- presentative of labor In all that is best, in the right and responsible sense of the term," He was not the aggressive type of labor leaner. He had been champion- ed at the outsets of his Parliamentary career by so discriminating a man as Lord" Morley,' and his course had been one of moderation and balance, So much so that he won the import- ant distinction of being the first man not a university graduate to occupy the, post .of president of the Board of Education. He was taken into the Asquith Coalition Cabinet as a representative of labor with a feeling that he would marshal • the workers behind the Government in concentrating the nation's war effort. It was not till, after he had paid a visit to Russia during the turbulent era of the first revolution that he developed "paci- fist" tendencies that brought him in- to sharp conflict with the Govern- ment and with the Seamen's Union. Up to that time he had been a firm opponent of compromise or negotia- tion. He returned from Russia with the idea that the British Labor party' should join in the proposed confer- ence at Stockholm in which German Socialists were to participate. He seemed to have become con- vinced that the struggle the Social- ists were alleged to be making in Germany should be aided , and that by this means the war could be most quickly brought to a successful termination. It was highly improb able, he told a meeting in East Hain in March last, .that the war could be ended by a decisive Prussian mill= tary triumph. It might end by a pro- cess of exhaustion, but such a term- ination would be a disaster of the first magnitude for mankind. ' He declared himself for peace lby con- ciliation, His action in telling a British Labor conference that the Russian Government was desirous of having ,British labor participate in the Stockholm conference, when Lloyd George had just been told by Pre- mier Kerensky that Russia was op- posed to the conference, brought a sharp . open rebuke from Lloyd George, Henderson, as a.member of the British War Cabinet, ought to have known of Kerensky's communi- cation. Lloyd George's reprimand was tantamount to an accusation of bad faith, - Henderson's resignation from the Cabinet was inevitable, his dual position as secretary of the Labor Party and member of the Ministry having already become anomalous. Front' this time Henderson was stamped as a pacifist in the eyes of Great Britain. The British Seamen's Union refused to carry' him to the Stockholm conference. He tried to cross to France with Camille Huys- inans, the Belgian Socialist, last Octo- ber, but the crew of the ship refused to sail with "pacifists and pro -Ger- mans." Even the cab -driver .he hail- ed at the dock declined to drive him to the station, and he had to carry his luggage himself. Henderson has represented the Labor- interests in Parliament since 1903. He was born in Glasgow in 1863, and served his apprenticeship as an ironmoulcler at Robert Stephen - son's & Co.'s works at Newcastle. He showed aptitude for speaking and leadership early in his career, and became an official of his trade union. He was for some time a member of the Newcastle City Council and Darl- ington Borough Council, becoming mayor of the latter municipality in 1903. Henderson stands, for the typical British virtues st •'-thoroughness, steady application and a distaste fon, violent or revolutionary mea- sures. Ho is an indefatigable worker, and devoid of pretense or ostentation. He 10 a total abstainer and a prominent member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, in which he has been for many years an active lay preacher and a, repre- sentative at the annual conference. He was in marked contrast tem- peramer tally with his Russian friend Kerensky and other European Socialists of less phlegmatic consti- tution at the Labor conference in London last June. Kerensky respond- ed to the uproarious musical wel- come accorded him in his own na- tional fashion byabruptly Y bestowing z a resounding kiss upon the astonish- ed Labor leader.
