WHO IS THE PHIL ANTH When it was learned Tuesday; morning that the council on Mon-w (1,1,? night had passed a resolu- tion to make the crossing to the High school at Kincardine street instead of directly in front of the school, some philanthropist. whose name we have not yet learned, made an offer to the High school board to put the crossing in at his own expense if the town council would give him permission to do so. A special meeting was called for Tuesday night and the permission granted, but not without the expenditure of considerable oratory from the town gladiators. We think the crossing directly in front of the school will be a great conveni- ence to the teachers and high school students, but it isn’t right for one person to bear the ex- pense of a convenience the whole town should pay for. There mav be a motive underneath the char- ity, but as we have no means of knowing, we let the matter stand without further comment IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE The rebellion in Ireland, which is believed to be a plan of the enemy to create trouble in the British Isles, has proved a miser- able failure, though much damage to the city of Dublin has been done in the effort to quell the insurrection. Though the leaders of the contesting parties before the war threw down the hatchets and smoked pipes of peace for the welfare of the country, and agreed to unite their energies for that purpose, there was still an element that would do anything to destroy British power. The Sinn F ein organization awaited their Opportunity and. were ready to loin forces with anybody to de- feat the British. The Germans took advantage of the situation, and Supplied material assistance for and the “Irish Republic” has passed into history after an ex- istenze of only five days’ duration.

THE PLOT FAILED NTHROPHIST? , ’ work. ’Vv‘- v Germany has spent enormous ;sums in creating that navy, which at present lies idle in the ' Kiel ICanal. From, the Kaiser’s point of fview an unbeaten fleet is some ikind of asset to bargain With in ;case of land failure, or to do Lsomething with in case of victory. i As a business prOposition this gis sound enough, or would be, but ‘for the fact that the German peo- {ple have for years been taught :that both their ships and men are ibetter than ours. 1‘ _-___~A I am asked to Write an answer to this question, says F. T. Jane famous naval Writer, in Pearson7s Weekly. But in, these words, one is driven to reply that it depends on What is understood by the word “battle.” On land there has been inces- sant fighting for nearly eighteen months, yet there has n0t been a single “battle” in the old sense of the word. a Similarly on the sea things have hitherto tended to be of the na- ture. of skirmishes rather than set fights. No battleship has once en- gaged another battleship‘ and even whenâ€"as on the Dogger Bankâ€"battle cruisers fought each other, there was no stand-up fight on the old lines. Things have alâ€" tered much dpring the last few years, and sea fights now are apt to be lost and won before a shot is fired. WHY .ciUL‘I ELISE: M21}! 'Will there be a big naval bat- tle beiore the end of the War? View showing the Post Office, Dublin, Ireland, which was one of the main points captured by the Irish rebels last week, and later curned. If, however, the question he put in another form, such as “Will the German fleet come out ‘2” then I answer that I believe that it will, and that once having come it will never return! But that does not necessarily mean a spectacu- lar fight on Trafalgar or Tsushima lines. dreadnought hammering dreadnought, till one side is anni- hilated in the crash of a titanic struggle. L1_-J.

More probable it is that our submarines, in which weohqve now UuuLuu--"'_I _____ _ an overwhelming superiority, will slaughter the German dread- noughts what time our battle fleet hangs around waiting to mop up the pieces. There is no poetry in modern naval warfare; scientiâ€" fic slaughter is now the order of the day. " ‘ l 1 LL And as to how and Why the Germans Will come out, this will probably be due to the pressure of public opinion in the Vaterland rather than to any strategical ob- iective. UV EVA w“.- ' -__ It is quite untrue, of course, but they have been told the lie so often that the majority of them honestly believe it. And soâ€" When the land pressure groWs too severe, there will probably be a frantic demand for a last sport- ing hazard on the seaâ€"a demand so insistent that the Kaiser will be unable to resist it. Indeed. when it is realized that the game is up, the Kaiser himself may be driven to lead his fleet to destruction. the fleet being his especial toy and he the man Who . - s 1 o _ __.‘- ‘Lng‘m “1+117‘D The following is an abstract statement of the receipts and ex- penditure of the Durham Recruit- Sale of robe... . $538 00 Concerts. etc--...--....- 275 00 Rink and flags. -. -.. ..... 115 40 Ladies, re meals.-. 109 49 Watches sold... 200 00 6320 Miscellaneous. uuâ€"r _ and advertising Meat. etc...-..

GREY BATTALIDN. The time is nearing for the mov- ing of the 147th Battalion to some training camp. At the present time the Battalion is 200 men short. The strength of the battalion is about 1,040, and with the 50 required for a draft for the Pioneer Battalion it puts the battalion again behind the thousand mark. The people of the county are proud of the bat- talion.. They are proud of their own sons. Col McFarland. is proud of them, and all rightly so, for in no battalion that has been raised in Canada has there been brought together a finer body of men from a moral as well as a physi- cal standpoint. But to get to the point. Two hundred more of the 'same calibre are required NOW, and if this is to be known as the Grey County Regiment it should be exclusively Grey boys. In conversation with Col. McFarland, the genial com- mander of the Greys, he said, “We have, I believe, one of the finest bodies of men in the expedition- ary force and I am sure that when the good boys of Grev know of the need bf the battalion for 200 more men that they will be forth- coming. They will have to be A1 chaps in every respect, in order to keep up the standard of the men already enlisted._” The Grey Citizens’ Recruiting- Leag‘ue have announced another Whirlwind campaign and it is up to the young men of the countv to come ,forward ‘and have your own battalion go to the concentration camp up to strength. A lot of men are always waiting for fortune to come to them, while as a matter of fact fortune is waiting for men to do the same thing.
