They have given their blood that France may live, and that is why young Canadians are called upon to fight." Sir Wilfrid was given a reception and was cheered echo as he resumed his seat. An appeal to the young men pres- ent to join the colors was also made by Lt.

Failure means that the civilization of the world would perish from the earth. But I am not certain that we, ity of the situat even yet have t the dangers that confront a us. Nor do we fully understand the strong call that is now made upon us. We are called upon for every service we can ren- der."

Glen Buell, Dec. 11.--A rather unique gathering assembled at the home of Norman Moore on Sunday being the celebration of the diamond wedding of his wife's parents Mr. and Mrs. Dennison, Napanee, who were guests in their home at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Dennison have enjoyed the privilege of raising a family of six children all of whom were living at the time of their an- niversary and all of whom were pres- ent but one whose home is in the far west. * Several Pullman. cars are. being converted at Moncton, N.B.,, into hospital cars, at the request of the FOR CATTLE THEFT Is Arrested by the Watertown, N.

Sampson completes the trio and will undoubtedly face the evidence that convicted Davis Hill and to which William pleaded gailty. Trade Opportunities in West Indies, Mr. James E. Dobbs, who as a re- presentative of the Canada India League, spent tea weeks in the Brit- ish West Indies and in Trigidad in particular, has returned to Toronto firmly convinced that there are vast opportunities for the development of Canadian trade in the West Indies, There is there, Mr. Dobbs declares, a prevailing opinion that aimost all sorts of Canadian products can find a ready market if advertised and sold by competent representatives who would see that the goods were pre. pared and packed to suit tropical conditions. The Canada India League is interested in bringing about a closer bond of sympathy among the ing any social, religious, or racial prejudices which might exist, and Mr. Dobbs spent considerable time in Trinidad, where men from the "East Indies form ene-third of the population, in studying the social, commercial, and dome«tic life of the men from the East Incies. Mr. Dobbs formed the opinion that those men after perhaps three years at the out- set came to understand that "While in Rome they must do as the Romans do," and adapted themselves to con- ditions. How They Raised the Money, Many Australian business firms and manufacturers rendered very material assistance in the flotation of the last war loan by taking up bends on behalf of their employees in return for small weekly payments. While each firm made its own ar- rangement, yet the general proce- dure was to assist any employee in taking up bonds from £10 to £50, the amount to be repaid at the rate of 2s. 6d. a week for each £10 bond. The employers' undertook to pay over the amount subscribed by the employee without interest being charged for the advance. Further, and leaving the firm's service before the expiration of the eighteen months (the period of reimbursement of ad- vances) may obtain his or her bond on (a) by payment of the amount outstanding, or (b) transferring the subscription to another employee, or (c) arranging with the firm to take up the subscription--in which case the firm will repay the amount paid, on to date of transfer.

London, Dec, 11---A Reuter's de- spatch" from Petrograd says: > "The Rusky Invalid, the military organ, in foreshading great military events in the direction of Bucharest, | says that it is impossible to allow the enemy to settle in winter positions in central Roumania and on the lower reaches of the Danube, which would |be equivalent to submitting to his initiative and enabling the enemy to support himself on the rich supplies of the country for at least five months. Should the enemy succeed in fortifying himself between the lower Danube and the Carpathians, the newspaper adds, he would not only be able to develop the operat- ions about Salonica, but in the spring could hurl himself at the chief points of the Russian main front. The enemy is hastening to finish with the Balkans prior to beginning extensive operations against Russia." Are Still Retiring. Pursuit of the retiring Russians and Roumanian forces in eastern Wallachia by Field Marshal - von Mackensen continues, but how far the Teutonic advance has progressed is not made clear in the latest official communiques.
