AN MEAL

To the lot holders of St. Anne's cem-
etery:
The members of the Cemetery As
sociation desire to call the attention
of the lot holders to the approaching
Red Letter Day. Monday, November
25th, when they ask for generous con-
tributions towards the upkeep of the
cemetery. The small tax of one dol
lar a year which each lot owner is
asked to pay to the associa ion is not
sufficient to pay the keepers salary,
the water rent, buy fuel for the lodge
and necessary tools, in addition to
keeping the lots and roads in order and
making important improvements from
time to time, and it is hoped the re-
ceipts from the Red Letter Day en-
velopes will be even more generous
than they were last year. Abnormal
times have made the expenses of the
cemetery work much greater than
usual, and it has been impossible out
of the small amount now in the treas
urer's hands to have the lots cared
for as well as could be desired
The association, which is composed
of ladies from. all the churches in
town, has done the best it could under
the circumstances, and if the neces-
sary funds can be secured, will re-
double it's efforts to care for the sacred
spos where so many of our loved ones
"sleep until the Resurrection morn. "

up for not having grog." And he
comments upon the fact that they

badly" The British sailor himself says
he cannot see that they are any the
worse for their abstinence.

that Bulgaria also must annex Mace
donia, which in past times had even
by the enemies of Bulgaria been
recognized as Bulgarian. AS far as
Salonica, the capital of Macedonia and
the only Macedonian seaport, is con,

albania, like the other Balkan
states, has a right to an independent
political existence But the expert
ment of 1913 till 1915 with autonomous
Albania showed that the country does
not possess the necessary requirements

''In spite Of our sympathies for the
political independence Of the Albanian
people, who consist of two differ
ent races, the Toski and the Gegi, and
among whom the Catholic, Mahome

dominant, we believe that Albania
ought to belong to the neghboring
Balkan states, with the understanding

freedom. IF such solution should be
decided upon the entire tribe Of the
Toski, northern Epirus and southern
Albania as far as the Shkundi River
would go over to Greece, as these sec

culture. The rest of Albania, including
Durazzo. would have to be left to Ser

latter to construct railroad connect

Greece, which will be so much en-

southern Albania. will have to cede to
Bulgaria the Macedonian territory
which she had seized from Bulgaria in
1913 and which even Venizelos had been
willing during the second Balkan war
to give back.
"If the above outlined boundary
lines of the Balkan States will be rat
fled by an international congress and
the great human principle of interna-
tionai court mediation will be imposed
upon them, there will no longer be any
doubt of the pacfcation of the Balkan

Swedes Criticise
Pact With Allies

STOCKHOLM. March 3-The terms
Of the agreement between the Swedish
government and the Allies which were
published to-day, failed TO evoke much
enthusiasm even from the Liberal
press, while the Conservatives are
openly dissatisfied.

sweden pays a high price for an agree
mcnt which gives her 70 breadxtuFs.
The "svenska Dagbladet" is of SINH
lar opinion. The "Dagens Nyhetcr,'
which is one Of the organs standing
closest 70 the government, gays the
quantities of articles receivable by
Sweden "arc regrettably small" and
that Sweden appears TO have paid a
high price for them. The insurance
provided for ships going into the Allied
service IL held 10 be an inadenuate
Yecompenge for severe losses.
The StockboIrn "Teningen," Liberal
Drgan, RAN: "In fairpess one cannot
Draise the modus viyerdi in very high
tones"
The "Soeia- a-UemokrateD" anticipates
adverse criticism, but praiseg ths
agreement mildly.
