GEO. TAYLOR HARDWARE LT© The Advance ten years ago said:â€"â€" "On Sunday evening a delirious patient at one of the hospitals here succeeded in escaping from his room by dropping down from the window. He had only a night dress on, but he evidently made his way quickly along the road to Schumacher. The night was very cold and it was not believed possible that he could have gone far in the snow and bitter weather. In an incredibly short time, however, he had made his way to near Schumacher. A citizen out driving, however, saw the man and after some difficulty succeeded in wrapping him in a Buffalo robe and taking him to the Schumacher hospital where he is doing well. The man was suffering from infiuenza and would not eat or take medicine. He was not conâ€" sidered to have any chance for recovâ€" ery until after his desperate nightâ€" shirt walk in twenty below zero The Advance ten years ago published a summary of the amended armistice. Among the terms noted were:â€"that the Allies should provision Germany during the truce; that al German subâ€" marines must be handed over to the Allies at once; the turning over by the enemy of 150,000 railway cars; evacuâ€" ation by Germany of all invaded terriâ€" tory; surrender of vast amount of guns and ammunitition; reparation for damâ€" age done and restoration of all Allied merchants vessels; unconditional surâ€" render of all German forces in East Africa: surrender of part of German navy and control of aircraft; free acâ€" cess to Russia for the Allies; sending home of all Allied civilians in Gerâ€" many. The Advance noted that the armistice amounted to an uncondiâ€" tional surrender by Germany. The Advance also noted that on Nov. 12th, 1918, a republic was proclaimed in Gerâ€" many, with Von Hindenburg joining the republicans. The Kaiser, the Emâ€" press and the Crown Prince had fied from Germany to Holland. weather." in the McInnis block. Mr. Stock who opened the store here, had many friends in Timmins having spent some time here some months previously and being generally recognised as an exâ€" perienced and competent jeweler. The following unaer tne heading, "Simms and Hooker Move Next Door to Themselves," appeared in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago:â€"‘"Well," said Mr. F. C. H.

Genmnuine On Thursday evening, Nov. 7th, 1918, there was an enthusiastic celebration in Timmins of the armistice though many here pointed out that word of the armistice being made had not yet reached this country. Cobalt, New Liskeard and other North Land towns also thus prematurely celebrated the armistice, as did a number of towns and cities in the South. However, Nov. l1ith, 1918, was properly celeâ€" brated here and at South Porcupine as armistice day, official notice being received here about six o‘clock in the morning in regard to the signing of the truce. Bells were rung, whistles blown, and there was a general impromptu and noisy demonstration of joy at the end of the war. With no time for preparation, flags seemed to blossom out all over the town; parades formed as if by magic; and there was generâ€" ally great rejoicing, except among a few who feared that the politicians would throw away what so many had given their youth and their lives to win. After the noon hour, the crowds began to gather in the main part of the town, one of the chief centres of interest being the window of the Marâ€" shallâ€"Ecclestone store where an effigy of the Kaiser was on display. This effigy was made by the Hollinger carâ€" penter shop staff and was an unusually clever piece of workmanship. The form was made of wood, the limbs and body being perfectly formed and the face and head wellâ€"shaped. It was of more than lifeâ€"size and very lifeâ€"like. Dressed in long boots, with brass helâ€" met, iron crosses, and shining sword, the wooden Kaiser was stuffed with oakum ready for the fiames. In the afternoon the celebration was continuâ€" ous, the youngsters having their full share. The fire team, autos and crowds of people joined in a monster parade. The Italian Band joined in the good work and were generous in C[â€"Wellâ€"Dressed "Sixties A Mutual Life Old Age Annuity Policy will assure good living and independence during tne sixties, seventies, eighties and ninetiesâ€" or longer.

Parks, of ‘Toronto, accomâ€" panied by Mrs. Parks, reached here on Saturday last. Rev. Mr. Parks has taken charge as pastor of the Byrnes Presbyterian church in succession to Rev, Mr. Irwin who leaves toâ€"day for his new charge on the Transcontinenâ€" tal with headquarters at Hearst. Owâ€" ing to the influenza epidemic there has been no service in the church for the past few Sundays, but it is expected that in a week or two the services will be resumed as usal. Rev. Mr. Irwin has made many friends here during his halfâ€"year‘s pastorate of Byrnes church, and all will wish him success in his new field. Rev. Mr. Parks was recentâ€" ly inducted as pastor of the church here, after spending the summer in the West." Speaking editorially of the armistice day celebrations, ten years ago The Advance pointed out that the war was not ended by any means. Until justice had been done for the martyred people of France and Belgium and the other countries assaulted by Germany and Austria the war could not truly be conâ€" sidered as won. ‘"The armistice will mean no truce in the food shortage in the world nor in the coal famine in Canada," said The Advance. ‘"There is no truce declared in the indebtedâ€" ness for war purposes. All the soldiers of the Allies must be returned to their homes and established in peace and prosperity, with fairness, justice and generosity of treatment. The ravaged countries of Europe must be repaid and rebuilt as far as humanly possible, even though this means the vertical enslavement of the German people for a generation. Guilt must be punished before the world. Sympathy must be reserved for the millions of innocent sufferers in the unoffending nations. The world must readjust itself to peace conditions with only righteousness and the common good in view. All this must yet come before the war is truly won. It should not be forgotten that what the brave soldiers have won on the way to victory may be lost by the professing statesmen." 456 _Northland Motor Sales !8 PINE, STREETSOUTH ‘Telephone 400 TIMMINS, ONTARIO ] Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Now we ,suppose, th.at Ijollowing the Lindbergh | precedent, it will be forgotten that the Graf Zeppelin is not the first dirigible ‘to make the rounaâ€"trip across the Atâ€" tlantic.
