PERCY E'fi'flN NOW BELIEVED KILLED EN ACTION Private Percy Bryon, son of Mr. and, Mrs. John Bryon of this place, has evidently made the sunreme sacrifice in defence of his Kins: and country. Some four or five Weeks ago, WODd. was received here that he was Woundefl. but no further particulars came to hard. though efforts were made to learn the particulars. On Tuesday last Mrs. Bryon re- ceivei a letter from her sister. Mrs. W. H. Nelson. in Toronto. A note accompanied the letter. and a perusal of the contents forces the conclusion that he was killed in action, and. we are quite sure there was no cowardice in death. and; he died with his face to the £0 e .I’ '1 The brief letter from the Headâ€" quarters of the 28th Battalion, signed as shown, is conclusive evi- dence of the young man’s death: France, Oct. 18; 1916.

In the press, and; from the plat- form it is {told that this small amount will furnish food. to keep from starving, a family of five. Most are agreed. that our-pres- ent condition Would be far worse had it not been for their brave reâ€" sistan .e at the beginning of the war. We owe them a debt of ..start and the sacrifice of their homes. their substance and their lives to uphold: the World’s free- .dom'. All who are military fit are still with us, While the aged, the decrepid, the Women and the children, have been forced to leave their homes and; seek refuge Wherever they could. find it. Let us not think of our donations to the exiles as an act of charity. but as a small payment towards a debt of gratitude. Are there not many who have failed, .to contrib- ute who could. give, Without injury to themselves, enough to keep from hunger a family of five for a month? If We could; only realize the condition of the poor, starving people, exiled. from; their homes and. home comforts, and separated from fathers and. husbands thev will never see again, We would; hesitate to refuse a small contri- bution to feed; .a hungry child, or a sorrowing, heart-broken mother.
