In Memory OF Ernest Smith

To the readers of tie Demo
crat and many friends CT Of the
one who has been called from
this world of toll and pain to a
home at Gods right hand;
Robert Ernest Smith was a
well known boy who met with an
accident at Clarion. Pa, which
caused his death. His many
tr ends were severely shocked
when they heard the news, and
wish to express their apprecia-
tion in many ways.
The following are some of the
things which we wish to give 70
his friends which were observed
by a special friend:
In honor of him who died far
away
We endeavor here some truths
to say.
He was a we'll known lad of
twenty,
And Of friends bad plenty.
| fancy now that can see
The friendly way he worked with
me;
In church, in school, and in the
wood,
His cheering songs would do me
good.
And yet today, we'll l remember,
One day in cold December,
When asked of Christians should
the meeting go on,
lie, with another, stood alone.
Twas = day night the meeting
began
AS a rival worker he had none.
Not only then, but forever more.
He worked for Christ in galore.
He was so kind, so good, so true.
The hardest tasks he'dchoose to
do.
50 forevermore I'll love the name
OF K. r. Smith, who won great
fame.
This was his motto,
When one was bereaved.
To do his best their sorrows to
relieve.
Now to the friends who are left
behind,
DO not let his departure trouble
your minds
For we are assured by the past
That he is safe ia Heaven at last.
This is the way it consoles me
! think that / can meet with thee
And Join IL that Heavenly ring
The angel choir where Ernest
sings.
l know on earth well meet no
more,
But may we meet on Canaan's
slO"p,
Where 1 en- clasp his loving
hand,
AID live together in G. .d's own
land.

tory declared Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg in his address opening
the 1916 session of the Prussian diet.
Speaking in his official capacity as
prime minister of Prussia, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg declared that the
Prussian spirit is invincible, and that
Germany is showing the world that
she cannot be starved out
AS our enemies forced this war
upon us they must also bear the guilt
and responsibility as the nations fight
to inflict wounds upon each other
said DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Our enemies planned to demoralize
Germany by cutting her off from the
transatlantic world, but this plan has
failed. Our agricultural resources as.
sure the nation of sustenance. We
are relying upon the strength of our
industries-we are relying upon what
we can produce ourselves with which
to defend ourselves"
At the conclusion of his speech the
prime minister announced that bill

DRAFT BILL TO PASS
BRITISH CONSUMPTION ASSURED
BY BIG MAJORITY.
People Are Behind the Government
and Cabinet Members Withdraw
Their designations.

London, Jan. 14.-Following the
Irish party's promise of support, mill
tary conscription for England was as
sured beyond the shadow of doubt
when the governments compulsory
service bill passed its second reading
in the house of commons by 431 to 80.
The first reading, at which the Irish
opposed the bill, resulted in vote Of
403 to 105.
Previous to the vote Premier AS
quith declared in the house that un-
less the compulsory military bill was
passed Great Britain could not do its
part in the fulfillment of it's obliga-
tions to its allies.
The overwhelming majority in fa-
vor of the bill shows the country alb
solutely behind the governments pol
icy, and makes certain the final pas
sage of the bill despite any opposition
by labor organizations That such op-
position will be met, both in politi-
cal way and through labor strikes, was
indicated by union leaders.
The Miners federation, the strong
est labor union in the United King
dom, will vote on resolution declar-
ing in favor of a national strike
against conscription. ...
The executive committee voted two
to one in favor of submitting the res
olution to a referendum of all the
miners.
The designations from the ministry
of the labor leaders, Arthur Hender-
son, president of the board Of educa-
ton; William Brace and George H.
Roberts, respectively parliamentary
undersecretary for home affairs and
lord commissioner of the treasury,
have been withdrawn. Hope is ex-
pressed that this may mean at least
partial cessation of labor opposition
to the bill.
