Let the facts soak in, that all the legitimate avoca- tions should be equally honorable, and ‘nntentment with our lot will make 2. all a happy people. On and after Monday next, The London (England) Daily Mail will be an 8â€"page paper. The reduced size' is largely the result of a shortage ofi paper, and the increased cost of paper i and other necessaries. Most of the! metropolitan papers have been too bulky during past years. They have‘ really become cumbersome, and by" using more brains and less pulp in the production of newspapers would; be a wise measure of economy. Even' our local papers, in.many cases, are too large, and wholly out of propor-- tin to the amount of real news they! contain. News of a more condensedi form would serve the purpose equally? well. MERCHA N TS SHOULD ADVERTISE. The mails have been flooded re- cently with catalogues from the To:- onto departmental stores. No doubt the influx of such advertising litera- ture will be an injury to the local merchafits, not only in Durham, but all over the country. The big city concerns believe in the power of printer‘s ink. and it will be a. happy day for the small country merchants when they wake up to the idea of ad- vertising judiciously in the columns of the country press. The big city concerns are growing more and more aggressive every year. and the chief weapon is the money they spend in advertisind. it is said that one big departmental store in Toronto spends 25 per cent. of its profits every year in advertising, and they do it because they have proved it a money-maker. It is high time for merchants in smaller places to learn the very important lesson. To save printer’s ink is fool- ish economy, to say the least. The Hon. W. D. McPherson said something worth repeating when, in speaking recently in Toronto he said that it was a great privilege to be of military age at this time to be able to play a man’s part in a man's game. "In a short time," he said, “recruit- ing meetings will not be necessary and eligible men will know what it may mean if they do not soon offer them- selves. The thousands of young men who will return from this war will occupy the premier place in the es- teem ot‘ the people. Do you want to be one of them? The opportunity will not much longer be Open to you, and you will regret it to the end of your days if you do no accept it.” It is yet time to get into line and to enlist in the battalion that is being raised in this. county. .

DISHONEST WOMEN Saturday afternoon. a woman, muff- led up to the eyes, for it was a cold day, droveup in front of one of the town stores. and seeing a man walking by on the sidewalk, asked him to be} kind enough to tell a clerk in the store i to come out for two baskets of butter. 1 The clerk coming out, the women stated that she had two baskets of but- ter for Mr.â€"-â€"~â€"-â€"â€"ot Kitchener(the clerk had forgotten the man’s name, but that does not make any difference) who was going home on the four o’clock train, and would he (the clerk) mind . advancing her the price of butter. and f the man from Kitchenor would pay for : it when he called. The clerk went to i the hack of the cutter and took two baskets of butter into the store. weigh- ; ed them and brought the woman out i $12 for the bu tter. thirty pounds. i About train time, the man from Kitch- l ener not having called for the butter, ‘_ the clerk. began to get anxious and 2 thought he would lookin to the baskets. l He removed the top paper and saw i pound prints nicely wrapped in dairy i wrappers, but on taking out one print 5 discovered that it was tallow instead of i butter. Tallow is worth 9 cents a { pound, and the woman had made $9.30 4 on the transaction, less the price of the itwohaskets.

The Turks delivered “I counter-attacks, but, although one 9! them was temporarily successful, We secured and consolidated all our Cains. “0n the afternoon of Thursday a - her assault was launched against e Turkish first and second lines to the north, and in prolongation of those secured in the morning, and our Whole objective was gained. Heavy Turkish counter-attacks temporarily retarded our progress, but we finally consolidat- ed our gains, and at the end of the .day the first two lines of trenches on a front of 900 yards were firmly in our hands.” “These operations, having drawn the enemy's attention in the direction of Sannaiyat, it appeared possible that a crossing of the Tigris might be ef- fected at the Shumran bend. There- :fore, just before daybreak Friday, the first covering parties were ferried across, followed at intervals through out the day by other panties. These coverers firmly established themselves on the left bank, securing the landing and, taking many prisoners. Imme- diately landings were secured and suf- ficient clearance was obtained, the construction of a bridge was com- menced and completed in nine hours, and by nightfall the position on the left bank was secured and consolidat- ed. The Turks offered stubborn re- sistance to our progress in the Shum- ran Peninsula, but, thanks to the ef- ficient dispositions and handling of our covering. artillery and machine guns on the right bank, this resistance fail- ed to stop our advance. Strategy’s Results “Simultaneously with the crossing of the river the assault on the San- »naiyat position was resumed. The third and fourth Turkish lines of tren- ches were captured on a front of 1,050 yards. It is impossible yet to give a full account of the operations, but the prisoners taken on Friday in the Shumran area numbered 11 officers and 533 men. Five machine guns were also captured.” Cunarder Liner Torpedoed Without Warningâ€"22 Canadians Aboard A despatch from Queenstown says: The Laconia was torpedoed in com- paratively calm weather at about 10.50 Sunday night. She was first struck near the stern and later a second tor- pedo was sent into her. There was no previous warning. With consider- able difliculty the boats were got away, but no panic whatever took place‘ among the passengers and crew. The action of the officers and men throughout was most admirable, and there has been only a comparatively small loss of life on account of the excellent discipline kept by the oflicers and order among the passengers themselves. A steamer bringing 26'? survivors of the Laconia has arrived at Queenstown. They were picked up in eight boats.

The speaker estimated that 450,000 men. in all had enlisted for service with the army, navy, or for constructional work, and, that, in- cluding reservists, those on munitions and in the great steel plants, 1,000,000 Canadian men and women were en- listed in the work of winning the war. Tribute to the fine work of the West in the matter of enlistment was paid by the speaker, who added that Can- ada would in all probability have to provide for the rehabiliment of L50,- 000 men. Training classes were be- ing established at different centres for this purpose, of which Guelph, with its many industrial facilities, was the most important, and at these the men could take up any line of work they chose. Encouragement would be given to go into agricultural pursuits and to settle on the land. Canada’s Share in Winning Warâ€" Helping the Returned A despatch from Washington says: President Wilson Monday took the in- evitable step and asked Congress for authority to use the forces of the United States to protect American ships and lives against the German submarine menaceâ€"to put the nation in.a state of armed neutrality. The immediate response was the introduc- tion in the House of a bill, approved in advance by the President, empower- mg him to furnish guns and gunners to American merchantmen, and to “employ such other instrumentalities and methods” as may become neces- sary; and providing for a $100,000,000 bond issue, to be used in his discretion for war insurance to encourage Ameri- can commerce to brave the submarine “A rmed neutrality” was the sition adopted by the President for fie Republic.
