Caldei the Red Cross Society will have their headquarters in the store latelx occupied by G. C Rife. The chief speaker of the even- ing was the Rev. John Ross, D. D. of Toronto, Who is so enthusiastic for temperance reform that he is giving his splendid services gratis in order to help the cause along. In an able and eloquent address he forcibly set forth the forces at work culminating in the Hearst Temperance Act, paying most glowing tributes to the Premier for the stand he had taken, and characterizing the legislation as the best Act on the statute books of the province. The favorable. public opinion which made the measure possible was not due, the Dr. stated, to mere sentiment, but to deep conviction due to increas- ed knowledge of the demoralizmg and destructive character of ' the trade. As the light was turned on. the traffic, which could only exist in the dark, was driven out. With The speakers of the evening were the same as in the afternoon. with the addition of Rev. B. H. Spence, the energetic Alliance sec- retary, who traced the develop- ment of temperance legislation in Ontario and the Dominion from the day of small beginnings up to the present when, under local option privileges more than two- thirds of Ontario is already dry, and pointed out that less than one-third of the province will be affected by the new Act when it comes into force on September 16.

D., of Toronto, who spoke of the Withdrawal of the peOple from ‘the liquor traffic, em- phasized that the temperance Act was not so much a Government measure as a law by the people. so that it is now our law, and urged the necessity of all law-abiding citizens to do their utmost to en- force our laW. ing ,those parts which deal with the difficulties of obtaining liquor for private consumption, the lim~ itations of the place Where it can be consumed, the severity of the fines for Violation, entrusted for its enorcefment.

THURSDAY, JUNE 8. mm The casualty list in Monday’s papers contained the name of Lieut. H. C. Young, Who is re- ported missing. Though his resi- ‘dence is given as Toronto. the fact that there is a Lieut. H. C. Young of Hanover leads to the impies- sion that this may behim, as he went overseas some months 39:0 with a draft from the 3lst, and may have been attached to a Toronto regiment. The Canadian Corps Commander, Sir Julian Byng, sends the follow- ing message: “I am proud of the Canadians under my command, their behavior has been magnifi- cent.

Our parents, relatives and friends have gone to fight for the Allies.

During the show it is as if you had re- ceived a military pass and, under strong escort were traversing the line of battle, seeing the big guns in action, the cavalry charges, the armored automobiles, and aero- planes, hand grenades, mortars. gas masks, and all the other new and terrible aids of modern war- fare.
