Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 7-:Agitation
by, Winnipeg orangemen regarding the
autonomy bills and other matters has
become very:keen the last few days.
At largely attended meeting of Pho
neer Orange lodge, No. 1907, held last
night, the following strong resolution
was unanimously carried:
That: this lodge ardentYFdesires for the
welfare Of the two sister PROVINCES Of
Alberta and Saskatchewan the adoption
ofsthe Christian principles Of equal rights
to- all and special privileges to none, and
that we view with alarm and resentment
the unconstitutional efforts Of the Do
minion government to subserve the reli-
gious freedom of the country at the be-
Quebec, working thru the instrumentality
l of a few Protestant members, who are
unrnindfu1 of the ultimate fate Of Judas
Iscariot. 5 !...,.
We pray that no citizen with a love of
Canada "afrd; Honest government at heart,
will fora fnomentr tolerate the slightest
desire for the sake of the thirty pieces
of silver handed out by the tools Of a
foreign" priest to support any such un-
:; constitutional trampling upon the reli-
gious educational freedom of the country.
The feeling of Indignation which is
felt by Orangemen of the city over not
/, being invited to take part in the civic
Y reception to Earl Grey tonight also
found expression at the meeting. Some
strong speeches were made, the con-
sensus being that there had been a. de-
sire shown to shut out the Orangemen
from appearing as society to welcome
the governor genera. %~s>s5e2a+.. 7!.&'%s 2

Japanese were in possession they began

troops moving slowly forward toward
the division headquarters, packed with
their heavy equipment and sweating
like draY horses in August as they plod
along thru the dust In no particular

suits their taste.
The faces one sees now are mostly
those of young men, save here and there
a bearded sergeant or veteran shows
up in. the line, the survivor of this and
the Chinese war, too perhaps. The
losses in this war have been so terrible
that many of the divisions and regi-
| ments are practically new in their entire
personnel. One regiment, for instance,
which landed among the first and served
thru the Port Arthur and Mukden cam
| paigns, has not today single officer
or man in it's entire strength thas mas
been in Manchuria from the first. A
| few there are that landed with it, but

Japan recovering from wounds received
