and Timmins helped arrange the postâ€" ponement with the authorities This was the sort of good sportsmanship that helped make football popular in this camp. Twenty years ago there were rumours current in the district that the Abitibi Power Paper C©6. was facing labour troubles at Iroquois Falls The Advance asked the company and the unions at the Falls for a statement and each was along the same lines, There was eviâ€" dently no trouble between the paper and pulp unions and the company, there being agreements that were working nicely from both ends and the postponed on this account and 1f the matter could not be arranged accordâ€" ingly with the N.OF.A. The Porcupineâ€" programme were Miss Craig Hoggarth and Mr. Jas. Gells, Mr. H. J. Martin played the plano accompaniments. In adjacent columns in The Advance twenty years ago was reference to two league football matches. In the one case Porcupine Football team was picked to play in the Foster Cup series, but on account of shortness of notice for getting the team together it was desired in this camp that the game be postponed. The matter rested with the Cobalt club and the question was taken up with Cobalt by long distance phone. Cobalt was very ready to accommodate the Porcupine in the matter, but Itoâ€" quois Falls held out that the game be played as scheduled and so it had to be, In the other column a scheduled game between Timmins and the Porcupineâ€" Domeâ€"McIntyre â€" was ° scheduled â€" for August 4th. The date was set early in the season before it was known that South Porcupine was staging a big dby on August 4th. The Timmins team felt that the Porcupineâ€"Domeâ€"McIntyre team would be handicapped and inconâ€" venienced if they had to play on the day of their big sports event. So Timâ€" mins asked if they wished the game postponed on this account and if the Twenty years ago The Advance noted with considerable pride the fine type ¢f young men in Timmins at the time. At the Chautauqua held here then a number of young men had chairs at the front, having purchased tickets in advance and being on hand early, One of them noted a woman and a baby forced to stand for lack of chairs. He got up and directed the lady to the chair. Soon a whole row of young men had noted other ladies andâ€" old people standing and they got up and brought these to the chairs, standing up themâ€" selves quite theerfully and as a matter of course. All this without request but of course. All this without request but simply as a matter of course.

They "gave" it to the Germans and the Germans gave them the same back again. â€"They came into Switzerland with all their guns and riflesâ€"but not a shell, not a cartridge and with many Despatches from Berne, Switzerland, tell of the high opinion military experts in Switzerland hold of the Polish solâ€" diers. This high opinion is shared by the people of Switzerland and by others in that country. At first there was a disposition to look rather lightly upon the Polish army because of the speedy way in which Germany ‘overâ€"ran that country, Apparently these people did not realize the fact that Germany was ‘unable to capture Poland without asâ€" sistance. There are many who followed the course of events very closely who honestly believe that Germany would have been held off for months had it not been for the Russian "stab in the back." Indeed, it is the fact that Gerâ€" many did not conquer Poland. It took Germany and Russia together to do that As a matter of fact there is a material part of the Polisn army still unconquered by the invaders, report having it that the Polish soldiers, with equipment, have been able to survive in the marshes of Poland. J. D. Brady Again Wins Honours as Representative But if the Swiss and others there had any doubt about the capabilities of the Polish soldiers they are eager to disown these questions now. Three things conâ€" tributed to the new turn of opinion:â€" First was the realization of the power of Germany‘s war machine and its strength in the air. Second was the way France cracked up along with Belgium and Holland in 38 days of warfare. Poland alone lasted four weeks. Third was the Poles themselvesâ€" even in internment.

They. too, had been cut off in their retreat, but they came across with all their arms and even most of their motorized. equipment. They were disâ€" ciplined. They had not only almost all seen CGermans but their units were all heavily carved up by casualties. . One Polish unit, about 2,000 strong, dashed up to the frontier with several batteries of 75‘s and 101‘s. A group of commanding officers conferred briefly with the Swiss command and were told that they would have to surrender both arms and ammunition. On the night of June 19â€"20 alone some 28,000 troops crossed into Switzerâ€" land in the region of the Franches German. Few had participated in active fighting.

In acquitting Mr. May, Magistrate Atkinson said that it would be unjustiâ€" fiable to state that Otto May was at fault after he left the Wolf Lake Gold Mines on June 20th, while the death did not take place until July 2nd. He found evidence enough, however, to commit Col. Pidgeon and Ed. Wride for trial by a higher court on the manâ€" slaughter charge. :A large number of witnesses were called in the case, the evidence going to suggest that a conâ€" siderable quantity of carbon monoxide gas had gathered underground at the mine, despite the fact that Otto May At Kirkland Lake last week, Otto May was acquitted by Magistrate Atâ€" kinson on a charge of manslaughter arising from the death of Clifford Wilâ€" liam Carter from carbon monoxide gas alleged to have been given off by an internal combustion engine used unâ€" derground at the Wolf Lake mine. ‘The engine was used to drive a pump used in the process of dewatering the mine.

The accused had ‘been warned that the practice was very dangerous and both Mr. May and ‘Colonel Pigeon were requested to disâ€" continue the plan, remove the motor and stop dewatering by this process. ‘The warnings were not heeded, the result being, Mr. Hope said, that carâ€" bon monoxide gas gathered and Carâ€" ter, going down the shaft on July 2nd met his death.

Brain and chest surgery has made great strides since 1914. Operations on the brain formerly thought imposâ€" sible are now a matter of routine for the brain specialist. Shock following operation took a large toll of death in former wars. The replacement of ‘body filuids by blood transfusions and intravenous injections of saline and glucose have made operaâ€" tions much safer than they ever have been at any former period. Altogether the medical prospects of the soldier were never better. The Allied forces have medical officers the equal at least of those of the Hitler army. They can be relied on to do their part. In the last war, ‘deaths from wounds‘ ranked highest while ‘deaths from disâ€" eases,‘ were the lowest. Another new drug, sulfanilamide, has proved very. valuable in the treatment of .a variety of infections. Tetanus, always a danger to the wounded man, may now be prevented by the use of tetanus toxid, suppleâ€" mented by the army practice of the liberal use of tetanus antitoxin.
