ABRARAN SHAW OBECTS FIGHTERS. OF THE 4; 1D | 1a; v CPE TO A STATEMENT MADE IN THE §oME FACTS ABOUT THE pips ||¥ PPPOT BATTERIES-FRONTEN- QUAKER CALENDAR, And Writes His Views to the Phila- delphia Times--Tells the Good Re- sults of Various Wars, Abraham Shaw, of the Customs De- partment, has long enjoyed the Quak- er Calendar, but this year he found the following on the front page: "War--What is it after all the people get? Why- Taxes, Widows, Wooden Legs and Debt!" He took strong objection to the statement and wrote thus to the Philadelphia Times: "Such should never have been quoted, and would not have been by any American.' What did the Ameri- ean Revolution give the people of the United States? A heritage from God, a country of freedom. What did the Civil War of the sixties give? Free- dom from slavery. What did the war of the Ironsides under Cromwell give? Democracy for Great Britain. What is the present war going to give? Pro- tection in the future from bullies and devils who. overrun weak nationalitiés and murder, and worse than murder, innocent women and children. "Canadians have always been ad- mirers of the United States, but glad that'there is no spot in the world that enjoys such freedom and liberty as Canada, no one man having suthority to write for the people or the coun- try, for the wisest and the best are liable to make mistakes at times." R. W. Eyre, Brockville, died on Saturday, aged thirty-two years. He wag an Englishman and an Orange- man and janitor of a city school, Had Awful Attacks " of Heart Trouble FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS Diseases and disorders of the heart and nervous system have become frighttully prevalent of late years. One can scarcely pick up a paper but he will find recorded instances of sudden deaths through heart fail- ure, or of prothinent men and wo- men unablé to prosecute their ord- inary business or profession on ac- count of a breaking down of the flervous system. We do not desire to unnecessarily alarm anyone, but to sound a word of warning. When the heart begins to beat ir- regularly, palpitates and throbs, has shooting pains through it, it is time to stop and think. "To all sufferers from heart and nerve troubles Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills can give prompt and permanent relief. Mrs. Frank Arseneau, Newcastle, N.B., writes: "I had awful attacks of heart trouble for the past five or Six years, and as I had tried many kinds of medicine without getting any better, I decided to give Mil- burn's Heart and Nerve Pills a trial, and to my surprise I found ease from the second dose, 1 coptinued taking them until 1 Had used six' boxes, and now T feel as well ag can be. v "At -the present time my sister Is using them for nervousness and finds great comfort by their use." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 80¢ or three boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of ice By the T, Milburn Co, Limited, oronte, Ont, OF THE NAVAL AVIATORS. Many Canadians Have Entered This Branch of the Service, and Sixty Per Cent. of the British Flying Men Are Said to Come From fhe Overseas Dominions, ANADIANS have done a vast } deal to give Britain ber pre- | sent supremacy in the air, It is said that sixty pér cent. | of the officers in the Royal Flying | Corps and the Royal Naval Air Ser- { vice are colonials, and a large per- centage of these from Canada. Per- | haps it is the glamor of the warships | and the prospect of fighting Zepps. and German destroyers and sneaking subs. that draws Canadians to the | navy. Anyway one rémarks on the | number of young chaps in the smart navy blue and od late, whose ac- cent proclaims them from the land of the maple leaf, Like its mother service the Royal Navy, the R.N.AS. is more dificult of entry than the Royal Flying Corps, the army's branch, They are great sticklers in the senior service. Before a man proves his . right to wear the goiden albatross, emblem of the dominion of the air, he must have passed & severe test. Moreover, a probationary sub-lieutenant may be discharged at any time, 'This will not necessarily indicate that any blame is aftributable to the officer," states this regulation. 'The special nature of the duties peculiar to the air service renders essential a very high standard of mental and physi- cal fitness." As with Canadian hockey and la- crosse players, the age at which most men are best fitted to start the nervy work of flying ranges between (he years of nineteen and twenty-three. The navy prefers them to be within those years. No nomination by an M.'P. or other potentate is necessary, If quite physically fit (and the stringent medical requirements which lay great stress on eyesight, give the doctor a loophole for getting rid of a sound but otherwise unde- sirable candidate) 'and' in. posses- sion of a good education, the aspirer to the ait service applies to the Sec- retary of the Admiralty at Whitehall, London. Here, several stern old sea dogs scrutinize him, question him, and examine his references, which must be satisfactory. Later an air service committee interviews each candidate. Then the case is passed on"by the Lords Commissioners and the candidate informed of his fate. Life in a naval air station consists largely of practice and patrols. Up at 6.30, the airmen get busy at once for this time of day is the best. Many is the Canadian boy who takes his daily run out over the cold North Sea, Work goes steadily on till dark and often at night the aviators stand by their machines waiting the word to go after zepps. Night flying is not nearly such a dangerous ad- venture as"it used to be. Though even in daytime green pilots some- tines lose their asrodromes. Testing the nerve of tyros at the game is a little task entrusted to the older hands. One young Cana- dian fiyer delights in taking up a green aviator and spiralling straight down from several thousand feet, "Many a chap cracks up at this test," quoth the adept. "The ma- | chine is away over on its side, of 'course, and though you are always strapped in, the strap is superfluous' , then. Centrifugal force presses you against the seat. In fact weak seats sometimes break under the strain. Most fellows get seasick in their first spiral, and I will defy the novice to tell where the ground is. The motion utterly confuses one, and a beginner asked to take the controls doesn't know what to steer for." : | Soaring upwards the aviator enters the' first layer of clouds at about 5,000 feet. Emerging from this he finds another layer at from 7,000 to 10,000 leet. for weeks, the | fiyer can have bright sunshine when-. lj ever he wishes, for about the 10,000- | foot level the sky is blue and bright | on the wettest day | sive. |. boots The aviator's wardrobe fs exten- In winter be wears flying lamb wool lined, leather breeches and coat and fur gauntlets, fi fur-lined helmet and goggles.

AC GAME MONDAY EVENING. | Unfortunate Accident to = Norman | Millan--The Batteries: Won the Game by 7 Goals to 4. | The Depot Batteries intermediate | O.H.A. team won from the Fronten- acs here on Monday evening at the covered rink by 7 goals to 4. The game wag one of the most exciting) contests ever staged here. The rink was filled to capacity with the follow- ers of both teams, and at every op- portunity the rink was filled with their noise, One regrettable incident occurred when Burke and Norman Millan col- lided, and Millan went to the ice with a broken collar-bone. He was removéd to the Hotel Dieu. The ice was very fast for the indi- vidual hockey that was played. At NORMAN MILLAN Whose collar bohe was broken in thé game, no time was anything approaching combination even tried. Flavelle for the Frontenacs is coming along fast, and in the first two periods showed up well for a newcomer. The victors have a splendid team, and it would be unfair to mention any one man in particular. They work hard and promise team play after a little more practice. The loss of Millan can be said to be the cause of the defeat for the Frontenacs. At the first game it look- ed like a close contest, but the Frontenacs were in condition and working together in such a way that even the soldiers felt their hopes flatten. When Millan went off the six-man hockey was more suited to the soldiers than the Frontenacs and |~ the game went steadily against them in spite of their hard work. The summary: First Period: 1, Millan, Fron- tenacs 8; 2, Milan, Frontenacs 10,20; 3, Grimes, Batteries 13.00; 4, Grimes, Batteries, 16; 5, Flavelle, Frontenacs 18.30. .

Millan Great Player. © The local sporting fraternity was deeply affected by the mishap to , known as "Terry Millan, who has his collar bone broken in the game on Monday night. He is a speedy little player, with plenty of snap and pluck, and was the main- Stay of the team. In fact, after he met with the injury, the team ap- peared to be bewildered, and there WES no team work whatever. "Terry" has played a horse of a game and after being injured did not have a word to say about his own condition--the only thing that ap- pearéd to trouble him was the fear that the team would go down to de- fant, This Jiuter has been hard on t ys on the ice, as only the A Ruby Millan, who plays on- the Dental Frontenacs Cooke Nicholson Flavelle Reid Brouse \ Goal Defence defence Rover Centre minX _TUESDAY, JANUARY COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO RE- PORT ON CITY ASSESSMENT Renumbering of Houses om Certain Streets--Report Asked by Al.
