CANADA'S
BAPTISM
OF BLOOD
Wonderful Spirit is Being
Created Throughout the
Northern Country

Williston. N. d., Jan. 5.-Canada is
passing through a baptism Of blood,
fire and waNr, but her people will
emerge from the tremendous ordeal
better citizens and better Christians,
according to one of Winnipeg's most
prominent business men, q lieuten-
ant -colonel in the Canadian army,
who writes to friend in this city
describing the wonderful spirit of
service which prevailed throughout
the Dominion during the Christmas
season.
Canadian laboring men in the big
munition, factories worked on Christ
mas and New Years without rest for
the holidays in order that Carladas
supply of ammunition should be kept
at the highest possible notch. Thou
sands of dollars are being raised daily
in Winnipeg and in every other city
of the Dominion to care for the wild
ows and orphans of war, and all Can
to relieve suffering and do it's full
duty by the British empire. Canada
has no thought of peace, declares the
writer. --u
speaking Of your community
Christmas tree at Williston reminds
ne of what we have been doing here"
says the letter. "As you know for
large regimental Christmas trees, but
this year with over 5000 men from
the regiment overseas 1t was felt that
different would have to be.
done so we organized a committee for
and purpose OF raising 100000 for a
grand Christmas present for all the
widows and orphans OF the men killed
at the front and the wives and moth
ers of the needy ones whose husbands
haA re SO n
ity and humanity"
The writer of the letter then tells
how a total of $4,000 was raised for
this purpose and was distributed
among $500 families in Winnipeg and
vicinity, each woman with children
$1,000 from the fund. Just
previous to this campaign Winnipeg
gave $4,000 to the Canadian Red
Cross and a committee had just raised
$56, 900 for the widows and orphans
of the men lost in the Jutland naval
battle.
All this time Winnipeg has been
keeping up it's payments of 100000 a
month to the Canadian patriotic fund.
Christmas throughout Canada has
been q Christmas of service. Most
people have been thinking OF what
doing it, too. There was not a fam
lily in Winnipeg that needed for any
thing during the Christmas season.
Nobody in this country has thought
anything about peace, and our one ef-
fort, both on the part OF our fighting
men and our working men, Is for the
successful promotion of the war. All
the laborers i'm our munitions fac
tories are foregoing their Christmas
and New Years holidays In order to
turn out more shells than they were
already turning out. We expect our
output of munitions during the COM
ing year will be much greater than
during the last year, and we have in
creased our export and manufactured
goods all along the line"
The merchants Of Buxton, Trail
county, report one of the best holiday
trades they have had in years.

JUDGE COCHRANE Held
TERN BEGAN IN DECEMBER
y. z. PheIan Of Bowman in Commune
cation Sets Forth Views on SUI
preme Court Middle.

Bismarck Tribune: Mrs. J., E. Phe-
Ian through her husband has sent an
interesting communication relative to
the views Of Judge Cochrane upon
the date the terms of supreme court
justices began. According to Mrs.
of the view that the term should COM
mence the first Monday in December,
but Justice WRilin would not yield.
Mr.. Phelan's communication to the
editor follows:
Bowman. N. D.. Jan. 2. 1917.
To the Editor:
Relating to the recent dispute over
the termination Of service for SUI
preme court judges at Bismarck. Mrs.
Phelan's attention has been called to
a published article In the Grand
Forks Herald quoting Judge Corliss
as follows:
Il omitted to say that at the time
Judge Cochrane succeeded Judge
Wallin this question was thoroughly
discussed, and Judge Cochrane was
Of the opinion that Judge Wallin's
he did not qualify until that time.
This was not done on the basis OF
friendship, but squarely upon his view
Of the question Of law involved. If
Judge Cochrane had thought he
should qualify In December he would
nave done So as ne was n man VINO
had the. courage of his convictions;
and then if he had desired to permit
Judge Wallin to draw salary up to
January. every one who knows his
generous nature knows that this
would have been the way in which
he would have settled the question,
If he had thought he should qualify in
December"
Mrs. Phelan, having been wife,
companion and friend OF John M.
Cochrane for twenty years, desires me
to say that our friend Judge Corliss
is mistaken in his statement OF Judge
Cochrane's opinion,
Judge Cochrane held that his term
of office commenced the first Monday
In December. as indicated by the con-
stitution and the certificate OF elec-
ton, but our worthy friend Judge
WalIing insisted on holding on until
January.
Judge Wallin was twenty years the
senior of Judge Cochrane and the
latter's generosity outweighed his de-
sire for a months salary or the pos
session of the office.
"AII OF which goes to show how
simply human are those who occupy
the seats Of the mighty.
Yours truly,
u. H. Phelan."

The Developments on the battle G,ld

tiles they open up, and the same NAV
hc said TO be true of events behind the
firing line. In Germany there is much
talk of political reform, and several
proposals have been put forward in the
Ecichstag TO curtail the power Of the
the Emperor and make the ministry
responsible to Parliament.
Apparently the putting forward OF
the mooted reforms has served to check
the rising tide OF popular discomfort
but the extraordinary measures adopt ed
by the government TO prevent the out
side world learning the true situation
make adequate Judgment impossible
Startling reports come from Austria

upper hand and are determined to
crush the party of the democracy with
the same rutlilessness as heretofore.
