On the contrary, he has one or two scores to settle, especially the virâ€" tual massacre of his men by hidden, periscopeâ€"sighted machine guns on the first day of July, 1916. That was the day when Carton de Wiart won the Victoria Cross. Theére were two forces, even within the church, said Mr. Mustard.

They have now atoned for any halfâ€" dozen past blunders. The spectacular Angloâ€"Belgian whirlwind of a soldier, Majorâ€"General Carton de Wiart, has been picked for a spectacular job, that of driving the Nazis out of Norway into the Skagerrak. At last reports he was doing well. "Considerable success has been achieved," says London, and very probably it is a typical underâ€"stateâ€" ment. It was my privilege and vivid experiâ€" ence to serve under Adrian ‘Carton de Wiart in the last war, and I know someâ€" thing of his mental attitude as well as his military qualities. He was then about 35 years old, while I was in my early twenties, He hated the Germans. It was a bitter hatred, generated no doubt by the Belgian half of his blood. And he carried ‘this vendetta into acâ€" tion. After Mr. Mustard‘s address there was lively discussion in which most of the members of the Forum participated. The Men‘s held eason on 1 vas Revy.

What of America if the British fieet is wiped from the seas and a German rary takes scontrol of the Atlantic? He was the last Canadian to leave Norway before the Scandinavian war started. He sailed for Kristiansand harbor on April 7, past mysterious Gerâ€" man tankers that 24 hours later disâ€" gorged Nazi troops into the Idittle city. Today he said that the Germans who captured the Kristiansand refinery would not be able to get more than a month‘s supply of nickel out of the plantâ€"that it was the sole major Gerâ€" man source of nickelâ€"and that Gerâ€" many is literally down to her last nickel except for trifling leakages from Greek sources and minor amounts that migh{ be recovered from other ores. At 10.05 o‘clock this morning he reâ€" ceived a cable, from Oslo, that said: ‘"Kristiansand cccupied _by German troops. Works, staff and workmen unâ€" hurt." It was his first news from the plant since he left it early in the month, and he was overjoyed to learn of the safety cf the workmen. Mr. Hardy is delighted by the proâ€" gress the Allies have made so {far in Norway, and believes that six months may see the finish of German troops on Norwegian soil. He is not afraid that the refinery will be damaged by Allied bombâ€"raids on Kristiansand airâ€" port, since the refinery is two miles from the field, and protected by an intervening hill, but he is afraid that defeated Germans may attempt to must th had raised their machine guns on hoists and sighted them through periscopes, the first time such a ruse pad ever peen adopted in the war to date. sublime indifference to the hell of bulâ€" lets sweeping across the front, de Wiart staggered through the chaos, waving his steelâ€"hooked arm, bellowing in the din. Raillying a remnant of officers he sutcâ€" ceeded in restoring morale to a point where connection was made with the rear. Three signallers gained the Disâ€" tinguished Conduct Medal for stringing out of:â€"action. Within twenty minutes, about 250 men and three officers, all that â€"was left of a strength of about 900 that went over the top, surged into the catacombs of what was once the village of La Boiselle. But the story did not end there. The battalions to the left and.right also had been virtually wiped out,; losing all their senior Oofficers. Drawing the men that were left under his own command, de Wiart with Toronto, April 24â€"Germany is down to her last supply of nickel, President J.

At that time the pros and cons of buying shoes for police were exhaustively discussed. Final decision was to have police buy their own footwear. Tenders were, opened on Tuesday night and samples of shoes, shirts and ties examined. Decision was to buy shirts, ties and shoes from Bucovetâ€" skys. After some discussion on the merits cf the various makes of cars the matâ€" ter was turned over to the Chief of Police. He expressed a preference for cars from McDowell Motors. The Policse Commnission went on a buying spree at its regular April meetâ€" ing, held in the town hall on Tuesday evening. Included in the purchases were two cars, twenty pair of shoes, forty shirts and twenty ties. And then along came the TChief, and just a little investigation was enough to convince him that the dead man had nct passed away, he had just "passed out." With a little aid he was loaded (good word, that) into the Chief‘s car and taken to Cobalt, where his sleep still uninterrupted, he remainâ€" ed in the seclusion of the cells until morning, ‘when, as ‘the "accident" ocâ€" curred in the townehip, the Provincial police came down and collected him. Bendyna Seecking Leave to Appeal Conviction Peter Bendyna, former Kirkland Lake miner, found guilty last fall at the assizes at Haileybury on a highâ€"grading charge, and at present serving a twoâ€" year <term in Kingston penitentiary, has made application for the right to appeal the sentence. At the time of his conviction it was understood that an ‘appeal would be made, but no action seemed to be taken then. Now, it is announced at Haileybury that the apâ€" peal will be proceeded with if the court gives permission. This permission is necessary in law on account of the deâ€" lay that has ensued. In this case it is understood the delay was due to the time required to secure copies of the evidence given at the trial,. Commussion Buys Cars, Shoes, Shirts Ties for Police Stories were rife around town all Sunday, of the man who had met with the terrible death at North Cobalt. (Peterborough Examiner) W. L. White, of the foreign corresâ€" pondents‘ staff of the New York Post, has shifted recently from Berlin to London, and he likes the change. He admits he must write honestly and as a personal confession he says: "I have come from Germany where T disliked the Nazis, everything they stand for, and everything they plan to do to this world of ours, about as much as you can hate anything. Then I came to Engâ€" land, where by contrast I like the peoâ€" ple and what they are fighting for very much indeed." _A motorist going north saw a man lying on the road and saw him just in time ‘to apply his brakes and stop, with some damage to his tires. The man was lying directly across the road with his head on the centre strip. The telephone was brought into play and Chief W. L. Pidgeon of Cobalt was the first officer on the scene. In the meanâ€" time the cars had been piling up on each side of the fatality. "Struck by a hitâ€"andâ€"run driver" was the word that passed around. No one would touch the body pending the arrival of the police. The man might have been badly hurt and in need of a little first aid, but there he lay immovable, there on the centre of the road.
