at least partially due TO the unfor-
tunate development Of German Social

united with the Centre and tile Liberals
in the Eeichstag bloc. II mas thus

position, which finally constituted
itself as separate party. The old

as greater than they really were. For
instance. it had to ovcremphasi size the
Importance OF the EcchstaG peace

that the government is acting accord

policy and action of the masses are
mutually exclusive policies; those who

phcre in which alone an united action
of the masses is possible. Nor, indeeh,
was that the intention of the German

C. OF C. GIVES WATCH
TO SECRETARY DOYLE
Efficient Work Recognized i'm Fitting
Manner BY Fellow Members of
Civic Body

A present that we are sure the reci-
pient will ever prize most highly was
the beautiful and costly gold watch
presented by members of the Chamber
of Commerce to Secretary f. Nj. Doyle
at the rooms on the afternoon of
Christmas Day. Atty. L.. E. .McGill
made very fine presentation speech
in which he outlined the work and i'm
pOrtance of the Chamber of Commerce,
and spoke of the faithful service rem
dered by the Secretary, in appreciation
of which the members were presenting
him with this token. Mr.. Doyle had
no knowledge, whatever, of what was
coming until Mr.. McGill was nearing
the close of his remarks, but managed
to recover from his surprise sufficient
ly to respond very creditably.
AS secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, Mr.. Doyle has been called upon
to do great deal of work without any
compensation whatever. at no little in
convenience if not loss to his own bus
mess interests. Even though war
activities have necessarily limited the
sphere of usefulness Of this civic body
somewhat, it has accomplished no
little good for the city and this has il
large measure been due to the efficient
work and energy Of the secretary.

Last Friday evening members of the

very fine address by f. r. Hughes, of
Chippewa Falls, on the value of coop
GRAFTON of the business interests Of a
city, comparing a city to a large depart
ment store, with the streets as aisles
between the counters and the success OF
each department dependent in large
measure OH the success of the others.
Mr.. Hughes gave a very helpful talk
and was listened to with the closest at
tention.
He was followed by Lieut.. Ed Ken
nedy, who gave thrilling account of
his experiences on the battlefields in
France.
O. J. Falge then brought up the mat
ter of the operation of the local pea
canning factory the coming season and
urged the strongest support and en-
couragelnent of this important indus
try on the part of every citizen.
Several business matters came up
for discussion, one of which was the
proposition of getting out suitable
literature of some kind to advertise
Ladysmith. A committee will be ap-
pointed to compile data and start the
ball rolling for something of this kind.
G. J. Dregne, J. L. McCorison and
w. Z. Thompson were elected as
directors for three years, succeeding

HARMON DRAKE RE-

Harmon A. Drake, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cameron Drake, who moved to
Ladysmith recently from their farm,
southwest of Conrath, has arrived
from the 315th Squarron, y. S. Air
service. Harmon has been stationed
in England being employed as a me-
chanic, and returned to this country
on the Mauretania arriving at New
York December 2. He reports that
there has been a great comradeship be-
tween the Americans and the Aus
tralians "over there also with the
Canadians, to greater extent than
with the English. The boys were
splendidly treated however, i'll Eng
land, but the English soldier boys
could not help being a little jealous of
their better paid and fed comrades
from across the seas.
