On account of the other features of the war, perhaps, this report by the British Contraband Comimittee does not appear to have received the attention it deserves, Most people have been inclined to dismiss the matter with some remark like:â€""Well, Hitler will have to go without his coffee, anyway!" There is much more to the matâ€" ter than that, however. The address itself is worth a note or two. "His Excellency!" Wonder if he remembers the days when he was hanging paper! Wonder if he thinks on the day when he will hang himself! Then the expression, "Great Germany," calls for some comment. If there is anything smaller than the presentâ€"day Germany, it is only the Germany ‘that is to be. Probably, some people will be most concerned with the address as a whole, and wonder if Hitler has everything addressed to him personally. Two ton of coffee is a considerable amount of coffee and it is a fair question to ask with whom "His Exâ€" cellency‘"‘ intended to share the coffee after he had his. Reports are to the effect that the people of Germany had practically no coffee before the war. Apparently they will have less now. It would seem that Hitler did not intend to share the coffee shortage with his subjectsâ€"not by two tons. It is difficult to work up much sympathy over the fact that Hitler must go without his ctoffeeâ€"at least two tons of it. In a democratic country he would have to explain to the people why he could have two tons of coffee on order when the people had none. No doubt he has the same sort of answer that a Queen of France is reported to have given on the food shortage question. When she was told that the people had no bréad she is supposed to have replied:â€" "Well, let them eat cake!" Perhaps, Hitler‘s idea 18 that if the people have no coffee, they should be satisfied with their beer, ‘To some the Hitler loss of His Excellency‘s coffeeâ€"two tons of itâ€"will remind them of the advertising of a certain brand of coffee substiâ€" tute. The advertisements picture coffee as having little devils that inspire the users of coffee to all sorts of illâ€"nature and nervousness borderâ€" ing on mania. Coffee drinkers are portrayed as irritable, nervous wrecks, offending tances, loved ones, and even opposing the boss. Of course, Mitler has no loved ones, no bossâ€" only Hitler. But, maybe, his habit of drinking coffeeâ€"by the ton, by the twe tonâ€"is what is the matter with him. Certainly he has been acting like someone too full of caffeine or chickory, or something. Maybe with his coffee withdrawn, he may be a different man. It would be a wonderfiul advertisement for Postum, if His Excellencyâ€" having been forced by the British Contraband Board to take the gold cure for coffeeâ€"should develop into a human being, instead of a neurotic menace to the world at large. There is a possiâ€" bilityâ€"a long chance, of course,â€"that the British confiscation of the two tons of coffee may do as much to help win the war as the leaflets dropped by planes on the German people. There are people who pretend to believe that the German people are a very fine lotâ€"really lovable and salubrious, as it were. The trouble, it is argued, is that everything wrong is due to Hitler and a few of his gangsters who have conâ€" trol of the whole German nation. It will be difficult to convince the Polish people, the people of Czechoslovakia, or the victims of the Athenia of the particular loveliness of the German charâ€" acter., If the world at large swallows the theory that the Germans are all right and it is only their leaders that are all wrong, the world will be blameworthy, for the world already has had its lesson. At the timse of the last war, everything was blamed on the Kaiser and his gang. The very least that can be said against the German people is that they are not a very nice nation or they wouldn‘t be always picking leaders of such deâ€" pravity and brutality. When the war is wonâ€"as it will be wonâ€"there will arise the old gang preaching the theory that it was all the fault of that old meany, Hitler, and that the German people were all against him. What could ninety million people do against a half a dozen men like Hitler, Goering and Goebâ€" bels? When the day comes for the circulation of that sort of story, it would be well to remember the opinion of a noted United States journalist, given in The New York Times a few days ago. Despatches recently referred to the fact that more than two tons of coffee addressed to "His Excellency Herr Hitler, President of the Republic of Great Germany" had been ordered seized by the British Contraband Committee. The coffee was consigned to Hamburg from the British proâ€" tectorate of Aden, in Southwest Arabia. Packed in twenty big bags the consignment left Aden on August 12th, the despatches note.

Those who love freedom and the right should be inspired by Poland‘s glorious example to do their full duty. It is true that so far no other nation of the Allies has been called upon for such sacrifices as are so gallantly offered in Poland. The courage that is demanded in Britain, France, Canada, is the courage of being cheerful, facing the facts with high faith, and never for a moment losing belief in the cause or its final triumph. Canada has the less glorious task of acting as supply house for the Allies. To do the fullest duty in this line, it is essential that business be carried on "a little better than usual." It is necessary that work be speeded up, that a measure of prosperity should be regained so that money and supplies may be available for overseas. Whether other nations could match the peculiar courage of the Polish need not be argued. It is a lesser courageâ€"but still a courage that demands muchâ€"that is reâ€" quired of Canada toâ€"dayâ€"the courage of carrying on, of building strength, of keeping firm faith. Poland cannot escape the war for a momentâ€"it is, in desperate truth, life and death for them. Canada has some measure of escape, and so may gather strength and vigor by not overdoing anxiâ€" ety about the war. The normal life is possible here and through following that path for the immediate present Canada may build up force and reserves to help in the final triumph that will give Poland new life and power. There is nothing to be gained and much to be lost by worry and gloom. Strength lies in making business and life in general "better than usual.‘" ‘‘It would be betâ€" ter if Canada forgot about the war, and centred on the business of doing its part so that the war may be the sooner won," is the way one man phrased it. There isn‘t much help in simply being gloomy and depressed over the meagre story that reaches here in regard to the progress of the conâ€" flict. "Business better than usual" seems to be the solution for the present. Over emphasis of the battle fronts is of little genuine service for the moment. The Globe and Mail one day this week illustrated the particular point in mind, when it made place among all the war news and views to tell the simple story of the death of a horse that had reached the remarkable age of 40 years. The horse had been in the employ of a Guelph grocer for 25 years. The animal died in harness after loyal service for a quarter of a century. Among all the epics of war, it was fitting to mention an epic of service and duty. Col. Lindbergh the other day gave a radio adâ€" dress in which he advised the United States to keep out of any war, no matter what its cause or In Poland it would appear that no one thinks of anything but the warâ€"has no business but the warâ€"devotes every energy of every minute of the day and night to battling the enemy and facing death with courage. Warsaw with its beautiful buildings wrecked, the greater part of the city in filames, with churches, hospitals, palâ€" aces and humble homes the prey to incendiary bombs dropped by Nazi planes, with literally thousands of dead to be buried, and hundred of wounded to be cared for â€" Warsaw fights on. There is the story of the defenders of Warsaw fighting back the invaders in handâ€"toâ€"hand battle, with fliaming torches used to explode Nazi tanks. There is the epic of the defence of Hel, near Danzig, where Polish troops continue to repel all German attacks,â€"â€"in spite of attacks from land and sea and air, holding all positions, and report. ing erough food and ammunition to continue to hold out for some time. The glorious example of the Polish people should be an inspiration to all others in the war and out of itâ€"a glowing page in history to tempt the world to high ideals and noble deeds that liberty may not perish from the earth. Mr. Fox also wished to interview Stalin. He made very wide enquiries as to how best to secure such an interview. After considerable enquiry, he was informed by those in a position to know that the best way to get in touch with Stalin was "through Berlin."‘ That also is worth remem bering. The journalist is Albert Whitney Fox who has travelled widely and so has what is termed back ground, while a long and intimate connection with the German people gives him knowledge. Mr. Fox is the only United States citizen to interâ€" view Herr Hitler in the past year. Since the United States ambassador left Germany nearly a year ago, the Fuehrer has looked coldly upon United States journals, Mr. Fox, however, was sufficiently popular in Berlin circles and sufâ€" ficiently well acquainted with German ways and German character that he was able to secure a 45â€"minute interview with Herr Hitler. Does Mr. Fox believe that Herr Hitler is going against the wishes of the dear German people? Does Mr. Fox think that the lovable Germans are utterly opposed to the policies and actions of their dic. tator? He does not! This is his careful and conâ€" sidered opinion, as given in a personal letter to The New York Times:â€""The German people are behind Hitler with a fanatical devotion which defies understanding, except in the German mind." That is something worth remembering. t ePAAA â€"A LAAA â€"Aâ€"ACâ€"AAL LA LA AP L LA -mmm'mm‘.oo«| THE PORCUPTINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO The Community Chautauquas at Timmins ten years azo were generally considered as the best Chautauqua programmes ever given in the North, and that was high praise. The inâ€" creased attendance at each succeeding session showed the popularity won by the merit of the Chautauquas. The events were held in St. Anthony‘s parâ€" ish hall, and the evening sessions were particularly well attended. The returns from the tickets are not all in yet so it is not known what was netted from the occasion. The ladies in charge made arrangements in excellent way to win special appeal from Miss«Bradley, the superintendent of the Community Chautuagquas, but a number of condiâ€" tions prevented the success deserved by the event itself and the good organiza«â€" tion. "However, there will be a balâ€" ance to the good, this going to the District Children‘s Aid Society through the kindness of the Kiwanees," said The death took place on Saturday, Sept. 14th, 1929, of Mr. J. D. Vaillanâ€" court, at St. Mary‘s hospital, death beâ€" ing due to pneumonia which developed after an operation for appendicitis. At the time of death the late Mr. Vaillanâ€" court was 52 years old. He had lived in Timmins for about 19 years and had wide circles of friends here, He left to mourn his loss a widow and seven children, three sons and four daughters. His mother Mrs. Vaillancourt, of Monâ€" treal, as well as one brother and two sisters in the same city, also survived. Ten years ago Mr. G. A. Reid left for Toronto being transferred to that disâ€" trict by the London Life Co. For the previous two or three years Mr. Reid was superintendent: of the Industrial branch of the London Life Insurance Co. for this district. ‘"During his stay in town he made many friends here who will regret his transfer though wishing him all success in his new location," said The Advance in reâ€" porting the move. "Mr. Reid was preâ€" sident of the ©Caledonian Society of Timmins and as a soloist was in much demand here as well as giving fine service in musical, church and other circles in town." There is the authority of The Globe and Mail for the statement that there was as notable a rush to recruit in Montreal as there was in Toronto. The Liberals of Timmins held theit annual meeting in the Oddfellows‘ hall ten years ago with a large and enthusiâ€" astic gathering of members of the party present. The usual business of the anâ€" nual meeting was dealt with, and the following were elected as the officers of the association:â€"President, Dayton Ostrosser; Viceâ€"President, Frank Valâ€" Oois; Secretary, Toner A. MacDonald; Treasurer, C. Fournier. In The Advance ten years ago: "Many good citizens have grieved on account of undesirable conditions at the Proâ€" testant cemetery at Timmins. Appeal:s have been made to the town authorities and others, but little improvement has resulted. There has been difficulty apparently in securing deeds for the property and until the negotiations are completed the town apparently does not feel it wise to take any official acâ€" tion or expend money to improve the grounds. â€" There is a general feeling, however, that something should be done to put the Protestant cemetery into better condition. The Catholic cemeâ€" tery has been much improved and is now in satisfactory condition. Some of the citizens of the town who have loved ones buried in the Protestant cemetery are so impressed with the necessity for cleaning up the grounds and improving conditions in respect for the dead that a plan has been formed to make some of the required improvements by voluntary effort. Accordingly, it is planned to have as many as possible on Wednesday afterâ€" noon next, Oct. 2nd, at 5 p.m. or as soon after as possible,. The plan is to clean up the grounds and make the cemetery more presentable, All able to give any help in this way are urgently requestâ€" ed to be at the cemetery on Wednesday afternoon." In the rush of other matters everyone seems to have overlooked one of the peculiarities of the present war. It is the first war in twenty years where war has formally been declared. In all the other wars, fighting was just started withâ€" out any formalities. One provision of the censorship regulations will reduce subversive activities if fully enforced. This is the clause classing as prohibited matter "any leaflet or pamphlet relating to the war or to the making of peace which has not printed ideals.. Then a day or so afterwards Mrs. Lindâ€" bergh announces the title of the new book she has written:â€" "Listen, the Wind!" The power company‘s men under the direction of Mr. Little, enginger of the Northern Electric Co., were busy ten years ago rushing to completion the installation of the equipment at the Goldfields theatre, Timmins, for this town‘s first "talklie" motion picture showing. They expected to be ready for the testinz the bquipment by Satâ€" urday, September 28th, 1929, and the fcllowing week was to be spent on testâ€" and preliminary work to assure everything working smoothly for the opening night for Timmins first "taikâ€" i¢es," Among the local items in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago: "Mr. R. Sinclair is on a business trip to Toronto this week." "Bornâ€"at St. Mary‘s Hospital, Timmins, on Monday, Sept. 23rd, 1929, to Mr. and Mrs. W. Rinnâ€"a daughter." ‘"Michael J. Loftus, aged 57 years, and for over twenty years a wellâ€"known resident of the Cokalt district, died reâ€" cently as the result of a stroke." ‘"Bornâ€"at Mr. Goulet‘s hospital, 77 Wilâ€" son avenue, on Monday, September 23rd, 1929, to Mr. and Mrs. C.

M., observed a Past Masters‘® Night ten years azo at the Masonic hall here, with a luncheon and n#usical proâ€" gramme taking place after the work of the lodge was completed. There were about one hundred and fifty members of the Golden Heaver Lodge present, with visitors from Cochrane, Iroquois Falls and South Porcupine, as well as Masonic brethren residing in the camp from outside points. Official notice was received in town ten years ago that the contract for the construction Oof the new post office building had been awarded to Hillâ€" Clarkâ€"Francis, the contract price being $72,000.00. It was understood that the work was to start immediately and the contract to be completed within six months. Ten years ago Leo Pinault, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Pinault, Commercial avenue, met with a painful accident and as a result the lad who was only about nine years old was taken to St. Mary‘s Hospital. The boy was engagâ€" ed in playing ball in company with a number of companions. The ball went out on the road opposite the public school and Leo went after it. Unâ€" fortunately just at that moment a bake wagon happened to come along and be« fore anycne even had time to realize the danger the boy had been run down by the horse pulling the bake wagon. The boy had both bones in one of his legs broken and was otherwise bruised and injured. He was at once hurried to the hospital and every possible care and attention given him. **+A O BANKL W SMALL ACCOGOUNTS ARE WELC OME‘ MODERN, EXPERIENCED BANKING SERVICE ... the outcome of 122 years‘ suscessful operation BANK 0OF MONTREA L Some people are gluttons for worrying.
