This Christmas season ' _will bring sorrow and anxiety to countless Canadian fhomes. Heavy has been the toll since the last Christmas sea- son. Many vacant chairs there will be at the family dinner table in Sim- coe County and Barrie Town; many of our boys ate their Christmas din- ners last year dressed in khaki; at that time we gave little thought to what niight happen ere 1916 .fea.st was spread.

To the newspapermen the news of G. H. Hale's death will con1e as unexpected andrregrettable news. To those who knew deceased best is" given the task of writing his obituary , and in this connection _this page will re- produce what a contemporary and neighbor has to say of the death of Mr. Hale. The Orillia Times edit- orially makes reference. as follows to the sad event: In the death of Mr. G. H. Hale, Simcoe journalism loses its oldest and one of its able'st members, and the town` of Orillia a. citizen whose" worth cannot readily be estimated. Forty eight years a resident and actively engaged in -th_e commercial life of the community, he` knew Orillia as few men did, and watched its growth and interest with paternal einterest. By voice and pen he supported every worthy cause and never hesitated to bring his influ- ence to -b_ear on the right side when a moral -issue was involved. He was thorough in everything` he undertook. andrwas relentlesszin his ght of half a .eentury against the liquor tralc. He was a man of strong opinions, and was not easily swerved from what he believed to be the 1-ight. Many of his best friends disagreed with him politically, but he was `a kindly Christian gentleman, and his memory will not soon be forgotten. As a pioneer he blazed the -trail of good citizenship, and as a journalist .was worthy of emulation by his con- freres. Belgium and France. `H.A.

There are young men still in this and other communities who have paraded to Niagara camp for the usual yearly training during peace times, where is their bravery now? Think it over, men! stateslinto an Empire, Great Britain. and France `were `staking out claims in all parts of the globe, ' so that when Germany had the opportunity to look about her and felt the grow- ing pressure of a rising population she found all the choice spots already taken. Those colonies which she was able -to secure, second-rate colonies in Africa chiefly, would be automat- ically restored to her should _she prove victorious; and she would de- mand Canada and Australia and en- force her demands `upon a defeated British Empire.

The United; States would be too busy preparing for its _own defence. So Canada would pass under the Ger- man control, like Alsace-Lorraine, and the subsequent experience of Alsace-Lorraine would be Canada s. We should have a German prince,` perhaps, at Ottawa, and German gen- erals at thehead of the administra- tion in exferyv province. _ For some years no doubt, our mayors even would be imposed upon us. There .would1 be no more trouble over bi- lingual schools. 111 the first couple of _classes, no doubt,.English would remain the language of instruction until our children `could be taught German. Conscription would be one of the benets we should derive from German kultur. Our streets would swarm with Germanoieers, whom it would be our duty to salute wl1en-_ ever we met them, and to rise in the theatre or in restaurants when they e_ntered.- If there should be any ser- ious attempt -at resistance to the German occupation of this country we` should go through the Belgian business again. Citizens .would be stood up against houses and shot in groups, women abused, huge indem- nities collected, perhaps - -wholesale deportation to Germany. If there are any Canadians, to whom this state of affairs would be tolerable they will naturally do nothing to avert it, and certainly will not take the only patriotic` and prudent step of ghting the danger in France and Flanders._ " i 0 AI 3 Ilse 59m .Re Ilse Sllhstes . 1 ` : ro:ionu}Ox`:t.

Some had dates} l1525 or 1530 carved in stone over the? ldoors. At Holyrood, we saw paint?` lings of all Scotland s kings from the.

A . ` ; There the chief points of interest . are the great banqueting hall,. the ; little old chapel of King Malcolm. and Queen Margaret, and the old s state prison where the famous. Duke ,| of Argyle spent his last days before lexecution. The walls ofethe great lhall are completely covered with old Scotch `arms, spears, lances, broad- lswords, claymores, pistols, blunder- busses, bayonets,,and shields. Then. there are suits of armor for man and horse and at one end, theeighteen pounder gun and carriage on which IQueen `Victoria and King` Edward were borne to the tomb. The chapel is noted for its age and the fact that _ it is the smallest in Scotland, four- ` teen by twenty-six feet outside. It Iis only as large as our parlor at Mt. `Pleasant inside on account of the thick walls.- I-t has three small stained glass windows, one foot by `three; two in memory of Malcolm and his Queen and one put in, in modern times, by Queen Victoria in commemoration of `some late occu- lpairt of the castle. - 1 1 V nomination meeting.

These opinions were not made public owing .to the holding of an election `being- `to the 157th Bn., that the battalion was to'be broken up _and sent in drafts to Eranee. Major Knowles, who used as his chief recruiting ar-_. gument the promise that the 157th would not be broken up, was partie- nlarly grieved at the order and so expressed himself to his men ` of` B Co.

Naturally the oicers feel the disappointment of not going over with the battalions they recruited, organized and _'trained. `Still the chance to go is open if they would take a lower rank; this very few seem to be inclined to do, for sev- eral reasons, no doubt, one possibly being a sense of loss of dignity. To the private in the ranks such and act would be hailed as the act of a hero. Elswhere in this issue will be found a statement of town affairs for the year that ended on Friday last. Everything` has gone up and it was to be expected that the tax rates would be one of the climbers.

This year s council began business with a. legac from the prev- g,000, they have practically wiped this out, there be~ ing a $600 decit at the present time. VVhen the tax rate was struck in Juneeconomy was the sign hung out, as with the increased tax rate it was expected there maybe a dec- it at the end of the year of $2,000; so well have the finances been n1an- aged that $600 covers the decit. The long; o_ut-standing` indebtedness of the Canada Producer`Co. has been satisfactorily arranged and over $3,000 of the indebtedness wiped out.
