CHARLES H. CANNING.

Charles H. Canning, an honored
and much respected citizen passed
away Friday, March 9, 1917, at his
late home at Echo Lake after brief
illness of pneumonia. His health
had been gradually failing for
several years, but the end came so
soon it was terrible shock to rela
tives, neighbors and friends. Mr..
Canning was born in Leeds, P. O.,
Nov. 10, 1847. He came to East
Charleston when II years of age.
August II, 1867, he married Miss
Ellen Read of Perth, Ont. To this
union nine children were born, six of
whom are living. Human G. of
Stowe, Herman A. and Thomas W. of
East Charleston, \ rs. kffie Morrill,
and Miss Violet Canning of st.
Johnsbury, Miss Eta Canning of
Enosburg Falls. By the death of
Mr.. Canning our town losses a man
whose past life has been one of
energy, uprightness and honesty.
He was a kind and faithful husband,
devoted father, a genial neighbor.
He lived on the farm now owned by
his son Herman for many years. He
was a prosperous lumber man and
spent ten years in Bakersfield and
Stowe where he took big lumber
contracts. Being compelled to return
to his farm on account of poor health
he sold his farm to his son and
bought the place of Wesley Cargil
where he lived until his death. His
health had failed rapidly since the
terrible death of his daughter, Mrs.
Vina Davidson, last fall. Besides
the widow and above named chill
dren he leaves a son-in-law, Elmer
Davidson, one brother, Thomas
Canning, one sister, Mrs. William
Pawney of Barton and six grand
children. The funeral was held at
the home Sunday, March II, at 2 p.
M, Rev. B. M. Scudder officiating.
The bearers were the four sons and
two nephews J. G. Canning and G.
E. Canning. Burial was in Hillside
cemetery beside the daughter. The
floral tributes were beautiful and
showed the love and esteem in which
the deceased was held. The heartful
sympathy of the whole community
goes out to the bereaved family.

eral strike of the Industrial Workers
of the World called for next Monday
is certain TO become effective unless
the organizations demands are
granted and Industrial Workers OF
the World, who are being held in

and Montana, are released, according
to a statement made yesterday by
James Rowan, district secretary of
the organization.
"Can" DisIoyai Ones.
Rowan denied that the threatened
general strike had any political
Significance. He said IL was simply
a labor movement for the bettfrment
of the workers. In speaking of the
bill introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Myers, making the
utterance of disloyal language a
felony, Rowan declared that the
Industrial Workers of the World
instruct their speakers to devote
their remarks to industrial organi-
cation.
"If a soap boxer should use dis
loyal language or ridicule the presi-
dent of the flag" said Rowan, I'VE
would can him."
No replies have been received from
the governors of the four states to
whom Rowan sent demands for the
release of !. W. w. members alleged
to be held in Jail illegally, according
to Rowan.

AS BIGGEST NEUTRAL SPAIN IS NOW bESET
 WITH DIFFICUL.T TIES

MADRID. Spain, April 19. - Now that Spain has taken the center Of the stage as the foremost neutral, follow ing the break of relations between the United States and Germany she is finding that the role of the chief neu- tral is not altogether a happy one. There is added honor and prestige as the intermediary between all the va rious capitals. but here at Madrid the representatives of all these capitals are ranged in so many hostile camps, with their own champions and follow CTS, their own press and shades of news and gossip. their own policies, intrigues and wire-pulling, that the government has found it convenient and necessary to draw sharp line be- tween these different groups so as 10 prevent animosities and embarrass- fents which might seriously interfere with strict adherence to neutrality.
 The Spanish capital is famous for the elegance of its official receptions with a strict adherence to precedent and etiquette, and with all the foreign representatives mingling together Un- til recently, the British ambassador was the dean of these foreign repre- sentatives, and, by chance, the wife of the German ambassador was doy enne of the wives of ambassadors. This created something of a strain when the various groups assembled and greeted each other in the strict order of their rank
 But when new British ambassador arrived recently, the German ambas- sador succeeded as dean of the for eign representatives, and his wife con tinued as doyenne. As such the Ger man group was distinctly at the front, not only in precedence. but in virtually directing all the intercourse Of grand affairs. Even in the ordinary official meetings with the cabinet ministers, representatives of the two hostile groups were brought together in such a way that separate audience rooms had to be hastily found in order to avoid a clash, but all this is now over come by the establishment of different hours and days for all the groups.
 Even the national and religious fes- tivals are undergoing changes be-

cause of neutrality. The kings birth day celebration was given up this year. Usually it is attended by d grand reception of all the foreign rep resentatives at the royal palace, it gala performances and popular remon strations and bull-fghts. But all 'ri- was omitted this year as it wa clea. all the foreign representative co not be brought together for one COT - mon rejoicing. The lenten festivals also, which are usually observed with great ceremony in Spain, are now much restricted for the same reason of neutrality.
 One of the most curious of these ceremonies is usually on Thursday of the last week of lent, when the king washes the feet of twelve poor men at the palace. It is called the lava torio, is a symbol of humility, and is open to the public who crowd the pal ace to witness this unusual scene But this year the ceremony is omit ted, as it would bring together the two opposing war elements.
 The need for this strict observance was made plain by several incidents Before the new rules came into force there was a reception at which all the ambassadors were assembled. This brought together Prince <, the am- bassador of one of the central powers and Lord Y, the ambassador of an en- tente power There was a moments bassador, to relieve the strain, smil- ingly extended his hand But Prince x, instead of taking the hand. carried Nie own hand behind his back Where upon the entente ambassador. not to be embarrassed by the affront. in- creased his smile into hearty laugh. and remarked:
 "Oh, had quite forgotten we were at war"
 There have been on'y two elements to keep apart up to the rupture of re- lations between the United States and Germany. but this introduced q third element of countries which had brok- en relations but not gone to war. This break of relations kept the ambassa- dors apart as much as the actual ex- istence of war. The need for separ- ate audiences was made evident on the night word was received here re- gently that the United States had broken relations with Germany and given Count Bernstorff his passports.
