Thames, who departed this life Octo-
ber %, 1918. He is survived by wife
and six children, father and mother,
three sisters and four brothers.
Dearest one, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hast bereft us.
He can all our SORROWS heal.
There is no pain in that fair land.
Life, JOY and peace go hand in

We know that you are waiting there
To welcome each dear one there.
You are not forgotten,
Nor will you ever be;
For as long as life and memory last,

Thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the sunshine breeze,
Pleasant as the air Of heaven,

Mute is the voice and still the heart
That l loved SO we'll and true.
Oh! bitter was the trial to part
From one SO dear as you

SOCIALISTS ATTACK PRISON

London, Saturday, Nov. 16.-A dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
from Amsterdam says an attempt by
Socialists to rescue friends from a
military prison Friday failed and that
four persons were killed and fourteen
injured as result of street fighting.
The dispatch adds that the trades
unions in the provincial cities refused
to join the revolutionary movement
and that it is therefore believed the
revolution has collapsed.

AT the same time, British troops are

Of yesterdays important gains.
The British last night swept down
the slopes Of Hcnenil (three miles north
of Croiselles) and oVer the advanced
trenches Of the old Hindenburg line.
These they captured easily, but they
found the Germans holding hard in the
