John W. BELL FOUND DEAD

This quiet community was shocked
last Monday morning when the an
nouncement was made that the body
of John w. Bell had been found
drowned in Equinox Pond.
1t would seem that Mr.. Bell arose
early Sunday morning and left home
about o'clock and nothing was heard
from him after that time. Early Mon
day morning an alarm was sent out
and search was made for the missing
man. J. C. Bacon, having some work
he wished to lock after about Equinox
Pond, took David Vctal with him and
thought that they would look for Mr..
Bell in that neighborhood While
walking along the bank about the east

the body about twenty feet out from

graceful, just and beautiful things
their genius has lavished forth; they
are defending, too, the respect Of trea-
ties, the independence Of Europe, and
human freedom. We want to know
if all the effort Of conscience during
centuries will lead to its slavery, If
millions of men are TO be taken, given
I'D. herded at the other side Of a FROM
tier and condemned to fight for their
~conquerors and master against their
country, their families and their pro-
theirs.
The world wishes to live at last, Eu-
rope to breath and the nations to dis
pose freely of themselves.
That is why nobody can accept the
hypocritical proposals Of Germans, be-
cause they refuse to admit the free
right Of oppressed nations seized be-
fore the war to desposs Of their own
destiny. In fact the free affirmation
of their will by the populations Of Po-
land, Lithuania, Courland as we'll as
Alsace-Loraine. and all other countries
occupied by the troops of the other
states is impossible until the moment
Of the return Of the native population
to the places they have evacuated. The
allegation that the will Of the people
of the said countries has already been
manifested is devoid Of all foundation.
| Under the Martial Law and under the
| yoke Of military censorship, the peo-
| pies of the occupied countries could %
express their will. The presence Of the
german troops makes impossible a fair
referendum Of the people in these pro-
| vinces.
When Poland will have conquered
her liberty she must have and army,
and she will have the Army who is
going to fight side by side with the
| troops Of all the Allies under their Ma
tional Flag. Her boys have sworn to
deliver their country or die; they will
not fail.
All the Allies have promised that
Poland would live. We will hold the
promise.
France has always been the Ally Of
Poland. When King Stanislaus Lesz-
czynski was deprived Of his Kingdom,
the King Of France gave him the Dukel
dom Of Lorraine. When the poor Poles
were prosecuted, some said in despair
before dying: God is too high and
France is too far" No, God is not too
high and France is not too far. France
Is always there, though bleed
ing herself, she is still able to support
her friends, as you know she IS doing
everywhere. Always opening her arms
to the suffering Nations and giving
willingly the blood Of her son for the
liberty Of the world.
You have read this morning, that
the Germans themselves cannot help
admiring the ~galantry Of the French
soldiers and themselves say: They
Fight like tigers. - lam sure when
the Polish Army will fight with us, the
boys will fight like tigers; the boys
that you can see with the badge on the
arm, the real heroes of the day, will
fight like tigers and the great patriot
of whom we are celebrating to-day,
from heaven where he is, will cry to
the brave now on the other side MY
boys. | am proud Of You.

First of all I will thank the Com
mittee for the fine insign that was just
given me; nothing could be dearer to
my heart.
1t is a great honor for me to have
been asked by the Committee to make
an address at such an important meet
ing but 1 must apologize for l am not
an orator. l am only a soldier and l
have been brought up not for talking
but for fighting and that is what l
have done for three years.
However a French soldier must be
brave and always ready to do what
is his duty. You know perhaps that
we have been working hard for the
last eight months and devoted all our
time to the cause of a Free Poland.
Just a year ago what was the Ma
tional Polish Army? Practically no.
thing - 1 say practically for there
had only been a good preparation in
thepatriotic societies in this country.
France, the best friend of Poland
for ages understood the necessity Of
creating a Polish Army, and on the 4th
Of June. 1917 the president Of the
French Republic, Raymond Poincare
signed a decree authorizing the consti-
tuition of a Polish Army in France.
Thousands Of Poles where shaken by
their patriotic feelings and left every
thing and joined the recruiting center.
In two days the four infantry regi-
ments will receive their regimental
flags and go and fight for justice and
liberty. But there is something more
to do. One division is not an Army,
there must be many more and lam
sure in a day like this, all the mel
who are able to fight, will not fail to
do their duty and will enlist without
delay, and will fight for their country.
Many of those who have gone on the
other side have a great resemblance OF
the boys from the northern DEPART
ments of France now held by the Ger
mans. They have heard Of all the
atrocities done by the Huns, who
don't allow any news to be sent from
those countries. So the poor fellows
don't know, since three OF four years,
If they still have a mother, a sister,
a wife, children or even a home left.
They where the best troops I ever
had under my command in the front,
always eager to go over the top. -
Whenever l ordered a raid, I'm sure
the Poles who are in the same condi-
tions and gave the same patriotic spi-
rit, will be as SPLENDID fighters as u
northern soldiers and will prove they
are the real descendants Of the great
patriots Kosciuszko, Pulaski and 9th
ers Of the same valour.
The French Republic, Of n mind
with the Allies, proclaimed through
its authorized representatives that
this war is a war of deliverance.
France" said Mr.. Stephen Pic,lOn,
Foreign Minister, will not lay down
arms before having shattered Prussian
militarism, so as to be able to rebuild
on a basis of justice a regenerated
Europe" And Mr.. Paul Deschanel, the
President Of Chamber continued The
French are not only defending their
soil, their homes, the tombs Of their
ancestors, their sacred memories, their
ideal work Of art and faith and all the
