Former McIntyre Goalie Hero in Championship Soccer Game Overseas Hosts of friends here will remember Hugshie Bannerman who played footâ€" ball here some years ago, and who at the outbreak of the war, being an Old Country Scot, left with the intention of joining a Highland Regt. He was particularly anxious to join the Black Watch. and went to Montreal with that idea in mind,. Apparently, howâ€" ever, he was not successful in reachâ€" ing that ambition because word came from the Old Country at the weekâ€" end that he was a member of a Queâ€" bec Infantry Regiment ‘Somewhere in England," and that he had been the hero of a championship soccer game in the Old Land. Apparently Hughie, who knew his soccer from any part of the field, had the credit of winning the game. The score was 4 to 2 and he scored three of the four goals, While here, Hughie played as goalie for the McIntyre but the scoring would indicate that he had another position on the champtonship team. The reports from overseas describe the game as one between a Quebec Infanâ€" try Regiment and an Ontario Infantry Regiment to decide the Second Canaâ€" dian Division Spring soccer title and the possession of the Vincent Massey trophy for the season. All the memâ€" bers of the Quebec Regiment team were from Montreal, with the excepâ€" tion of Hugb Bannerman, who gave Annual Golf Club Meeting on Wednesday, April 16th Hughic Bannerman Scores Three Goals Out of Four Goals to Win Second Canadian Division Spring Soccer Title and the Vincent Massey Trophy.

Among the number was Major J. G. Charlebois, of Timmins, whose earnest and effective work as an officer of the Algonquin Kegt. did much to keep together the "D" Co. in days of peace. Since going overseas, Major J. G. Charlebois has made steady and notable advancement in the service, and has reflected high credit on his home town, Timmins, by his outstanding qualities as a smart soldier and officer. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Charlebois, 112 Cedar street north, as is the Liecut. Leo Charlebois, who is another Timmins soldier in which this town takes special pride, serving also overseas.

The game was a fast one, despite the fact that it was played in a drizzle of rain and with an air raid alarm to add to the interest. Neither rain nor alarms, however, interfered with the attendance, or with the good play of the teams. There were some 2,500 soldiers out for the game and the play was fast and snappy throughout. In the first half the former MciIntyre goalie netted two for his team and he started the second half with another before that period was very old. The fourth goal was scored by Pte. Herb. Garner, of Montreal. The despatches do not mention any of the players on the Ontario Regiment team,. except to note that Lanceâ€"Corporal Tommy Nicâ€" holson, of Hamilton, was in the Onâ€" tario goal. In the reports, however, there were several different references to Pt.

I can assure you that they are strong in their loyalty and devotion to the Britâ€" ish Crown and to Canada, and in their faith in democratic institutions. I am convinced that this may be said of every national group in the Dominion, and that we should have no fear whatâ€" soever as to the solidarity and envity of the Canadian nation in these trying and anxious times. Unity then is, and we know that it shall continue not only until we have won the war, but for all time to come.. And T feel assured that the Canadianâ€"Ukrainians will do their part to contribute to that unity." Explosion Underground at Lake Shore Mine Easter Message for the Kiwanis Club Toâ€"morrow New Canadians Strong in Loyalty and Devotion to Canada, Says Speaker Head of Ukrainian Church in Canada Tells of His People and Assures Kiwanis Club That Other New Canadians Will Also Help to Build a Strong and United Country. One Man Killed. Cause of Accident Not Known. It was‘ reported, this morning, but not confirmed that Germany and Rusâ€" sia haq signed an economic pact. «Rusâ€" sia would supply Germany with wheat. The address by the Very Rev. 8. W. Sawchuck was so informative and imâ€" portant that it merited more space than could be given it in the last issue of The Advance and accordingly the following further references are made. In opening, the speaker pointed to the fact that these are trying and anxious days for Canada and the British Empire, and the absolute necessity for Canada to have the full cooperation of all her citizens to do her full part For this it is essential that there be full understanding and goodwill among the various racial groups that form the Canadian nation. To give an understanding of the Ukrainian people, the speaker sketcheq the history and background of the Ukrainian territory stretching from the western slopes of the Carpathian A. F. Blasts at Naziâ€"Held Channel Ports. German Forces Continue to Advance in Lybia. GERMANâ€"RUSSIAN PACT Mountains to the Northern Caucasus, and from the River Puplet on the north to the shores of the Black Sea on the south. The recorded history of the Ukrainians dates back 1,200 years, ang students hold it is more picturesque and tragic than that of any other European country. Dividing its history into three periods, the first period was given as extending down to the middle of the fourteenth cenâ€" tury when the Ukraine was an indeâ€" pendent kingdom. During the reign of King Vladmir the Great, in 988, the Ukrainians accepteq Christianity acâ€" cording to the Greekâ€"Byzantine rites. There folowed a period of great culâ€" tural and educational development. In the beginning of the twelfth century a daughter of King Harold of England married the King of the Ukraine. The second period of Ukrainian hisâ€" tory was given as from the middle of the faurteenth century to the outbreak of the Great War. During this period the Ukraine was for the most part under foreign domination, with the exception of the second half of the seventeenth century when it was an autonomous Cossack republic, famed far and wide for its democratic govâ€" ernment, its culture, its learning and its military strength. In the British Museum, the speaker noted, there are no less than 20 maps of the Ukraine, dating from 1650 to 1740, and a great number of historical documents about the country and its people. "Up to the end of the 18th century, "the speaker said, "the Ukraine and the Ukrainian question was known and well understoog not only in Engand but throughout the world. Yet, from then on until the Great War the world knew almost nothing about the Ukâ€" raine and her fortyâ€"million people, This was owing to the fact that for centuries, the Poles, the Russians and the Austrians who over the (Continued on Page ‘Two» British reports reaching here this morning indicated that the British are again lashing at the Naziâ€"heÂ¥ channel ports as well as the Norweâ€" gian coast. Last night a Free Norweâ€" gian warship, mahnhned by free Nor« wegians, carried out another raid on a northern Norwegian port A number of men were landed and are said to have caused widespread destruction. While the Norwegian port was being attacked, the Royal Air Force was dumping tons of bombs on the Naziâ€" held channel ports. Extensive damage was caused. The dock facilities at Bordeaux and the submarine base at Kiel were heavily bombed. The two German battleships at Brest were again bombed . Another daylight raid was started on the Naziâ€"held French coastline this morning. British forces have contacted the German army in northern Greece and are reported to have thrown back big German attacks on Friday. Two or three smaller offensives that the Gerâ€" mans tried to get started yesterday were thrown back with heavy losses. The Yugoslayvys are reported to be putting up a strong resistance and are also reported to have recaptured some smaller towns that had been taken in the German drive southward. The Yugoslays are reported to have capâ€" tured the Italian port of Durazzo in northern Albania and are now preparâ€" ing to cut the supply line between Italy and Albania. Valona is the only port that the Italians can use now to bring in supplies The Yugoslays have been coming into Albania from the north and the Greeks are reported to be advancing in the south. In Lybia, the German forces are reported to have almost reached the Egyptian border. The British forces are now almost back to where they launched the Lybian campaign from during the winter. The British withâ€" drawal has been systematic and heavy losses have been inflicted on the enemy. The Germans claim the capâ€" ture of Bardia while the British forces are still putting up a stubborn resis= tance at Tobruk. The British forces are reported to be establishing new defence »positions cighty miles inside the Egyptian border. Single Copyâ€"Five Cents
