CARD OF THANKS.

To the physicians, who exhausted
medical skill, to the Sisters of st. Jo-
sephs Infirmary, who stood and kneei-
ed around the bedside of our loved
one, ministering even to his latest
breath, sparing neither time nor
strength in their eeaseless and untir-
ing effort to wrest him from the
scythe of Father Time. To the many
friends who came to inquire and of
fer aid and succor. To the many 9th
ers who phoned, who wired their SYM
pathy, and lastly to those who in the
last supreme moment surrounded him
with wilderness of beautiful flowers,
under which we laid him at rest. We
offer our sincere and grateful thanks.
81 shall not cry, Return! Returni
Nor weep my years away;
But just as long as sunsets burn,
And dawn make no delay.
I shall be lonesome shall miss
Your hand, your voice, your smile,
your kiss.
Not often shall speak your name,
For what would strangers care,
That once a sudden tempest came
And swept my garden bare.
And then you passed and in your
place,
Stood silence with her lifted face.
Nor always shall this parting be
For though l travel slow
I, too, may claim eternity and find
the way you go.
And so l do my task and wait
The opening of the outer gate"
Mrs. Carrie c. Auten.

If Shakespeare's pen were mine-Had
his powers
OF honeyed words, methinks that,
here, today,
I'd toast this gifted Governor of ours,
And sound his glories forth in such d
way,
That all the world, from Beersheba
to Dan,
Would point to him and say, Here
was a Man"
A gentle Man-endowed with rare,
good taste;
A knightIy soul-a true aristocrat;
Clean to his hearts core-courteous
and chaste,
His enemies, themselves, concede him
that
Reyering Every Woman, all his life,
But loving One, his dear and honored
Wife.
A college Manor classic. cultured
speech;
Of dignity and mental equipoise;
A brain so keen and virile in it's reach,
That touching, as it has, a host of
boys,
Has set to work vast forces, which. at
length,
Will make for us citadel of strength.
A righteous Man-His lips can frame
a prayer;
Or sing a hymn, if circumstance adj

He loves his church, and often wor-
ships there;
His mind is stored with gems of Holy
Writ.
No blatant bigot, welded to creed.
A Christian, he, in thought, and word

Fate?
Comparisons are odious at best,

And ask, in all Sincerity and Right

2,9G6 gross tons"
The Chilier was sent down in mid.
ocean three days after the British
transport Dwinsk was torpedoed 7O(
miles from the American coast. 1t is
thought probable here that both YES.

marine or submarines returning tc
base after raiding off the United
States.
No evidence of submarine activities

reported since the steamer Henrik

Of about half a mile. She sent about
twelve shells into us.
There were thirty eight of us in four
lifeboats. Ours was the only one that
kept afloat through the storm the next
day. Our master was taken aboard the
U-boat and questioned. The Germans
gave US fresh water and put fifteen
pound tin of biscuits in each boat. but
refused to give us a tow. We pulled for
six days and nights toward the Azores,
where we landed in an exhausted condi-

In Mesopota1nia
Bagdad Now Busting City,
Where People Dodge u. S.

LONDON, July 2.--The British Of
fetal press correspondent with the
British army in Mesopotamia sends
the following dispatch:
"The Turk has been dissipated on
all three fronts during the past year.
Meanwhile peace has reigned in the
city Of Bagdad and the amenities Of
life have been multiplying for the
army and for the civil population.
"Bagdad was dead to all appearances
when the British army entered on
March IL last year. Now it is a bus
Ting hive of humanity. Thousands of
workmen pass through the streets early
and late. The main street is paved and
lighted. There is a constant stream of
traffic and the sleepiest old women
who haunt the streets have become
adept at lodging the American motor
cars which run through the streets.
"A police force and fire depart
ment have been organized. The old
fashioned oil lamps in the streets
have been replaced by electric lights.
The water supply has been improved
and extended. Mosques have been re-
| paired, roads have been paved and
schools, included a training school for
| native teachers, have been opened.
"The streets now are we'll watered
in dry weather and sanitary officials
have penetrated che most hidden
corners of the city. The municipal
government has been made self-sup.

thrown across the Tigrs River. These
are some of the changes which have
come with British occupation, ane

me, Protestant Episcopal Bishop
of the Philippines, on recent
uisit to the Grand Fleet deliu-
cred the folloscing messoge from,
General Pershing to the men of
the British and American ships:
"The bond which joins together
all the men Of our blood has been
nightly strengthened and deep
ened by the rough hand of war.
Those Of us who are privileged to
serve in the army and navy are to
one another as brothers.
"The spaces of land and sea are
nothing where common purposes
bind. We arc so dependent on one
another that the honor, fame and
exploits of the one are the honor
and exploits of the other.
SHOULD the enemy dare leave
his safe harbor and set his ships
in battle array no cheers would
be more ringing as you and the
Allied fleets move to his defeat
than those of the American forces
in France. We have unshaken
confidence in you and are assured
that when We stand on the thrcsh-
old of peace your record will be

They Threaten to Turn
Cattle Into the Fields if
Workers Go to Army
10000 Men Needed
A. Bonar Law Tells Commons
Military Necessities Are
Supreme Issue

LONDON. via Ottawa, July 2.-Wal-
ter f. Roch, member Of Parliament for
Pombrokcshire, in moving last night
the adjournment Of the House Of Com
mons drew attention to the serious ef-
feet of combing out for the army tho
agricultural laborers at the harvest
He said he had been inundated with
letters from farmers bowailing the
probable disastrous effects Of the gov
ernment's action and threatening to
turn their cattle into the harvest field
unless they got the needed labor. Mr..
Roch stated that the agricultural COM
mittces were not willing parties when
10000 laborers were called up and for
which Sir Auckland Geddcs, Minister
of National Service, was solely respon-
sible.
Rowland E. Prothero, president of
the Board Of Agriculture, sympathiaed
with the complaint voiced by the mem
ber for Pembrokeshre, but cmpha-
sized the overmastcring need for men
for the army.
Short Of Man Power
Man power was short all around, he
said, but essential industries must
yieIu w PIopottlon 10 man power 1Or
the army.
Men taken now would be fighting at
the end of September, which would pos
sibly be the critical moment. The gov
eminent recognized the need of men as
empowering every consideration, even
food. Continuing, Mr.. Prothero said:
"What they are asking the men t.
do on the land is nothing compared
with what they are demanding OF the
men at the front. admit that the
farmers cannot spare men, but | have
found every farmers deputation will
ing to release men on the score Of
patriotism, because they had the imagi-
nation to realize what was going on on
the Western front
II cannot say that the harvest will
be saved, for all of those 5000 men
were skilled, and in many cases we're
the key men, without whom the un-
skilled masses of labor will be un-
manageable; but do not believe much
Of the harvest will be lost. Only the
absolute need Of men would have in
duced the government to take such a
step. l hope that the agriculturists
will meet the situation with the same
cheerful courage and patriotism as
! they have met previous difficulties"
Several Of the members criticised the
government for sending men to the
front after only three months train
/ ing.
A. Bonar Law, government spokes-
man in the House, said the government
recognized that the men and boys were
handicapped by having to fight with
such short training, but that Great
Britain throughout the war had been
handicapped by having to create an
army from its foundation. Thirty
thousand men, representing that vital
