HILL - News of the death of James J Hill at St Paul, came as quite a shock to his brother, Alex Hill, of Rockwood, says a despatch from Guelph He had received a letter from his brother only a few days ago stating that he was sick, but that there was nothing seriously wrong with him Mr Hill, when interviewed by a newspaper reporter, Was not at all anxious to talk about the won- derful achievements of his broth- er “He never liked publicity,” said Mr. Alex Hill. “I have been asked scores of times by maga- zine writers and authors for the story of the life of James Hill. There have been more things pub- lished about him that have no foundation in fact than about any 'other man I know. As a matter of fact his early life was very un- eventful. “Our father came from Armagh. Ireland, in 1829, and our mother was Annie Dunbar, who came from Tirmerary in 1832, although she originally came from Scotland. My brother. James, was born on lot 6. Emmosa, on the 16th of Septem- her, in 1837, and he would have been 79 had he lived until Septem- ber of this year. He was two years older than I am. There was only one other child, the late Mrs. Brooks, who died 11 years ago. “Our father intended that James was to be a doctor,” continued his brother, “but father died be- fore he could see that his wish carried out. There was very little PI'I’itfl's. who ' . _ v . . a,“ x . died 11 years ago. . how, at the bottom of this Our father intended that James ’whole great war, so far as the was to be a doctor,” continued Germans are concerned..there has his brother, “but father died ‘09- lbaln thefgonvmtgm that a Strong’ ,_ . ,.

WHY GERMANY CRIBS FOR PEACE . In sum, after two years of war, Germany, by her peace prOposals. seems to lay aside the hope of breaking that iron ring wmcn her enemies, to use the German View, had drawn about her before the war. The ring is not broken; rath- er, it had been forged by 1.118 terrible struggle, and what was a loose entente is now a close all:- ance. The political situation re- mains as it was in 1914, but the military situation has worsened immeasurably, because a Europe approximately as well armed as Germany, possessing absolute control of. the sea, now maintains more men on the firing line than Germany has or ever can hope to have, even With the aid of her allies. (From The Tribune, New York.) To balance all this mighty ex- pansion Germany could point only to a few pieces of African soil, widely separated, walled in by British and French colonies, and utterly at the mency of the Brit- ish fleet. as the War was to prove absolutely. This was the harvest of the present, this was the pros- pect for the future, of a nation3 of 70,000,000 of people, with an. industrial organization which sur-L Enassed anyth'mg the world had ever seen, not merely in actual ef- Eficiency, but in the intelligence .with which it cared for the work-2 ers. A nation bursting into newi 'life, new progress industrially, inew triumphs commercially, lookâ€" gefl out upon a future restrained :beyond any measure that the iGerman mind could endure. Take, now, the peace terms Ger- many offers! It Will be seen at once that thev will 'not bring: about a situation greatly improv- ing; Get-nun '32‘)spects before the' war. France, Great Britain and Russia are to keep all that they had before, save in the case of, Poland. By Way of restoring the : balance. Poland is to be - erected into a free state. But this means that 5,000,000 Poles will be sub-' tracted from Austria to balance . 10.000.000 taken from Russia. and! ‘V‘Vvvrvvv .____, the 4,000,000 Poles in Eastern Ger- many, who will not be liberated Wil look to Russia for aid. to com- plete the restoration of Poland- as Sardinia looked to France. In the Balkans it is possible that the Allies might abandon Ser- bia, just as it‘ is‘ possible that ‘1‘---“ U10, luau (bar a» they might abandon Belgium, but it is unthinkable. Suppose they did. Serbia would become a vas- sal to Austria, but Bulgaria would be expanded, and when Russia did a similar service to Bulgaria a generation ago Bulgarian statesâ€" promptly turned their backs on Petrograd. If Bulgaria broke with Germany the keystone of the whole Bagdad-Berlin arch would crumble. Turkey, too. at the end of the war will resume her freedom.
