'- April 2‘2, 1915. The Cologne Gazette prints :13 short article. on Lord Kitchener in which the journal remarks that the man who is commanding the. British armies against Germany deserves all the more attention be- cause nothing much is kno“ '1 about his personality. British gen- erals, the journal says, are not in the habit of enlightening the world with all sorts 01' details about themselves. . ' “Kitchener,” the Cologne Ga- zette continues, “is taciturn, even for an Englishman. Moreover, he does not pay over-irequent visits to the British troops in France, but prefers to remain in Whitehall at the War Office. whence he con- trols the enormous war machine which he is hurling against us from all corners of 'the globe and which he has. in the ‘iirst pldce, to piece together “It is the historic experience in 'all British wars that their organ- ization is never ready at the be- ginning oi the operations and that the real preparations have always to be begun after the out- break of hostilities. Field Marshall Horatio Herbert Kitchener is the embodiment of British will power, British toughness and British con- centration. We do not know whe- ther he has accented the tisk‘ of fighting the German nation in arms with pleasure. . . . He is in no way equal to the. undertak- ing because he lacks the first qual- itv ,0! the great general, namelv the psychological sense. “Kitthener does not possess the slightest understanding of the souls of the pe0ple he is fighting or controlling. He is the personi- fication of the soulless British Im- perial machine which wages war by means of bargains and in- trigues. It is for that verv reason that his compatriots believe in him. Personally, (Kitchener is said to have one ruling passionâ€"the collecting of old china. and this ceramic love is perhaps the only close bond which connects him with humanity.” ' Fire from an unknown cause destroyed several buildings at Delhi. “70an have__bcen given the privilege of voting in all cw,- electiuns in Edmonton.

Mr. Dingman is a journalist of' long stanclinon and a man of strong temperance sympathies.

Frederick Dane was a farmer j mber oi the Temiscam?ngx~ anal . Noi-thzrn OntaI‘iO Railway L‘ommiS- sion, to which position he Was an- pointed in 1906.

Smith. of Hail- jeybury, is mining recorder there, and recognized as a man 02 abil- ity. His appointment 1'ill give the board the benefit of his know- : ledge and experience in the north- :ern country, which he knows 'thoroughly. Mr. Ayearst has been 1conneeted with the law enforce- ; ment branch of the provincial ser- vice for many years, and is well iand favorably known amongst temperance peonle throughout the !;length and breadth of ,the pro1- lance. ”o-..â€" ---_ The members of the board are the selection oi the prime minister himself- All are well-known men, and not one Was an applicant for a place on the board, or the nom- inee of any member of the House or any political association. In each case they were picked for their qualifications, their experi- ence and their public standing. The chairman will receive a sal- ary of $6,500, the vice-chairman $6,000 and the other commissioners $4,000 each. The Board thus constituted will have absolute control over the adâ€" ministration of the laws and over the existence of every license in the province. The board is given absolute power to cancel or sus- pend any license. It has also the right to declare “dry” any dist- rict, large or small, for any speciâ€" fied time, where circumstances make such action desirable. The board is given control over the hours of sale, but its powers, while allowing the reduction, do not allow of any increase. It has the power to restrict the sale to any class of persons where special cir- cumstances make it advisable. and under this provision may consider the case of the soldiers. This means that all the local boards in the province will. after issuing the licenses for the ensu- ing license year, pass out of ex- isetnce, and the administration of the license system will be taken over by the provincial boar-:1. So far as thfe personnel of the new board goes, they appear to be men of sterling character and keen executive ability. Time will tell how the new plan will \\‘01k out. The first step in the organiza- tion of the Sneakers” Patriotic Leazue for Central Ontario was taken at a meeting held at Gov- ernmznt House on March '2 at which an organizing committee was named with instructions tu complc-t the organization .15 speedily as possible. A pu‘vlic meeting was held on March 23. at which the league was formally or- ganized. with the following offi- cers; President.

Aft‘1.com- inf! ,to this country he lived for some years in Hamilton, and then moved to Ayton, where he conâ€" ducted a blackssmithing buSiness for a number of years. In 1899 he came to Durham, where he remained until 1911, when he moved to Winnipeg: Where he remained to the Lime of his death. in arranging lectures throughout the prox‘ince for some time, offer- ed his services as honorary secre- tary of the league. Both of these offers were accepted’by .the ex- ecutive committee. To complete the organization, M. C. N. Coch- rane, a lieutenant in the Canadian Officers’ Training Corps and a member of the university staff, has been appointed organizing secretary. ‘- From November 1914, he had 13- an ill, and his trouble, after some time, was diagnosed as cancer of .the stomach, frnm which he died on the 4th of April. He was a member of Durham Lodge, Canadian Order of For- esters, and was also President of Fort Rouge branch of the C. M. B. A society of Winnipeg. He leaves to mourn his depart- ure, his widow and {our daughters (it home, also two daughters, 3? rs. 'l‘hos.Farre}1yiand Mrs. Flank Jobin, both of Winnipeg.

He was a .member of the council for some time, and ran for the mayoraliy on one occasion. He was a man of sterling character and highly esteemed in the com- munity. $3 In reply to the call for speakers some fifty qualified persons have already expressed their Willing- ness to act in this capacity The president of the University of Toronto offered free offices in the university, buildings, and Dr A. H. Abbott, who has acted as' secretary of the university exten- sion work and has had cXperience pose of arousing the people of such districts, and for securing an adequate response, by promoting the organization of local commit- tees, to carry this work to a bractical conclusion. ~ We extend our sympathy to the sorrowing widow 0nd members of the family. .XVILLIAM' MCMURDO William McMurdo, .a pioneer of Proton, ear 'HOpeville, where he resided for the past half century. died on Saturday, April 17, at the age of about 75 years.

Nance (Miss Zeta Black), apretty maiden, is loved by Joe Stout (J.H Harding): but Joe can scarcely muster up courage enough to pOp the question, and turns the job over to old Bill Salt (J. A. Cook), topropose in his name. Bill didn’t seem particularly interested in other peeple’s matrimonial affairs, and without knowledge of the identity of the object of Joe’s af- fections, makes a bad mix-up and proposes to Julia instead. Julia then tells Bill to ndx-ise Joe to try his luck a year hence, and uith delight he proceeds to do so, but onlv to disc0‘v or his sad blunder in proposing to the Wrong girl, and with no chance to remedy the error. Julia then tells Nance of Joe’s affection for her, and N. .n'cc is rendered heart-broken ard des- pondent ‘ and on the eve of her departure, .Barnabus Lee (John Stedman), a Wandering artist, comes to town and at once falls in iove with Julia who returns his affections. The iilted sailors kidnap Barnabas and carry him to sea, in a jealous re- venge over his success in winning the affections of the hanglsome bell-e. " The. Operetta was entitled “A Nautical Knot, or The Belle 02 Barnstapoole.” Julia, the haughty belle, Was .any taken by Mrs.‘ A. W. H. Lauder.

Miss Marâ€" garet Hunter, Miss Vaddie Caldâ€" well and Miss Lily 'Walker added their quota to the play with very pleasing effect. J. H. Harding. and John Stc-dman proved them- selves skiliul in their respective roles, and J. A. Cook, who took the part of Bill Salt, would be hard to surpass. Everybody did well, but We are forced to make Special mention of the work of Martin Laud-er, who made his de- but as a stage artist and dis- charged his part most efficiently in the Sailors’ Hornpipe. Something over $80 were real- ize-:1, but the expenses were con- siderable, and the society will not bank much of the proceeds.

The steEl pipe line is laid in position from low, although it is not riveted. Two gangs of men are on the ri"â€" eting work this week and this Work is being rushed. To give some idea of the magnitude of this portion of the work we might say that 65 tons of rivets are being used in this GOO-foot length of steel. This Work will occupy from four to five weeks yet. ‘ The power house itself is yet a long 'way from completion.
