Sir wilfrid's Career.

Sir wilfrid Laurier. Premier of Cam
ada from 1895 to 1911 and leader Of the
Liberal party for thirty-two years. was
one OF the most striking figures In the
Dominions political history. For years
he was referred to affectionately as
"Canada's Grand Old Man" Because
he was n French Canadian and a Roman
Catholic his steady rise to influence and
power was considered a most unusual
accomplishment. His service In state
craft was continuous for forty-eight
years. Sir wilfrid persaps was better
known IN this country than most Cana
dian statesmen owing to his champion
ship of reciprocity between the United
States and Canada.
Tho former Premier was knighted In
1897 when he went to England to Join In
the celebration OF Queen Victoria's dia-
mond Jubilee. Many honors were show
cred upon him during that visit. The
Universities OF Oxford and Cambridge
gave him the degree OF d. c. L. and
France made him a grand officer OF the
Legion OF Honor.
Sir Wilfrid was born at St. Lin. Prov
ince OF Quebec. Nov 20, 1s41. He spent
seven years in academic training at
L'Assomption College. beginning early a
study OF the English Language. and took
a course OF law at McGill University. He
was admitted TO the bar in 1854 and
began to practise in Montreal, but later
opened a law Office at Arthabaska.
Elected to Quebec Legislature.
At the age Of 30 Gs7l) he was elected
to the Provincial Legislature OF Quebec,
winning his seat for Arthabaska from
an English Conservative. That he was a
born orator was made manifest In his
first speech as a legislator. II was said
OF that address, which was delivered in
French. that ut brought down the
house, In 1874 he resigned his seat to
enter Federal politics as a member Of
the House OF Commons. frst for Artha-
baska and then for Drummond. His first
address In the House OF Commons was
delivered In the purest Of English with
an eloquence that afterward assured him
a big audience every time 1t became
known he was going to speak.
Toward the end OF 1877 he was taken
into the Mackenzie Cabinet as Minister
OF Inland Revenue. His constituents.
however. refused him n reelection In
1878. but almost Immediately a seat was
found for him as a member for thu
Eastern Division OF Quebec.
Inc conservative Victory OF 1915 con-
signed him TO the Opposition. He re-
manned eighteen years in the Opposition,
nine as a private and nine as a leader.
succeeding Eduard Blake as leader In
1887 He met the exacting demands that
we're made upon him in manner that
added TO his popularity as the years
went on. He was skilled parlta-
mentarian and was possessed OF great
courage. His remarkable eloquence. either
In the French or English. contributed
largely to his success.

Sir wilfrid's Viewpoint.

Sir wilfrid maintained that the policy
of CONSUMPTION merely conscripted hui
man life and did not attempt to conscript
wealth, resources or the services OF the
people other than those who come within
the age limit prescribed for military SER
vice. He declared that II the Liberals
were returned nothing would be done
about consumption unless the people first
had a chance to vote upon 1t at q refer
endum election. At the general election
in December. 1917. the Unionists had a
majority OF fifty or more over the old
Liberals.
During the months Immediately pre- 3.
ceding this election Sir wilfrid lost
some prestige. even among his Liberal
friends, by refusing to enter a coalition
Government under Sir Robert for the Pc
Rod OF the war This coalition Govern
ment was formed on October IL. and Ave
Liberals took places in the Cabinet.
When conscription finally became a
law Sir wilfrid gave up his fight against
4 and called upon the men In his party
loyalty to support the Government in
carrying out the law. At the opening
Of Parliament in March last he made
a speech in reply to an address by the
Governor General OF Canada in which
he pledged the undivided support of the
| Opposition 10 the Government In car
ryinB on the War 10 siorious nnish.
Sir Wilfrid was tall man of hand
some presence and strongly intellectual
face. He was a great student. an in
dustrious reader and was noted for his
general good humor. He was greatly
liked because he was always willing NO
matter where or when. to give anybody
| a hearing.
He had a keen admiration for tho

Notable achievements of the Laurier
regime were the granting OF preferential

Member OF Privy Council
Sir wilfrid took part in Queen Vic
toria's diamond Jubilee in 1897. He at
tended the coronation OF King Edward
In 1902 and that OF King George In
1911. He represented Canada at the
Colonial Trade Conferences in London In
1902, 1907 and 1911. It was on the oc-
casion of his participation In the great
diamond jubilee in 1897 that he was
made a member of the Imperial Privy
The chief issue OF the elections OF 1911
was trade reciprocity with the United
States, which was urged by the Liberal
Government Sir Wilfrid was so strongly
committed to the policy of reciprocity
that he made visit to Washington In
the hope Of furthering his cause. The
Liberals were defeated. but Sir Wilfrid
himself. whose personal popularity with
the people still continued was reelected
He was succeeded as Premier by Sit
Robert Borden, who still holds office. and
Nne eN-fTeUller resumed MIS- Oiu post ~
leader OF the Liberal minority.
In a speech before the National Lib
eral leaders In 1912 Sir Wilfrid reiter'
ated his belief In trade reciprocity with
the United States and spoke bitterly ir
regard to ex-President Taft's allegation
that reciprocity would have made Can
ada an adjunct of the United States. He
declared with much vehemence that hi'
friend, Theodore Roosevelt. did not share
Mr.. Taft's idea and said his reading Of
history showed that where two nations
engage in profitable interchange OF trade
they become more friendly and more re-
spectful to each other.
Sir wilfrid lost political influence
rapidly in 1917 when he opposed the
Governments policy Of conscription. Sil
Robert Borden said the so-called con-
scription act was a military measure
which called the sons of the rich as well
as the sons OF the poor to the colors. He
insisted that voluntary enlistment had
failed.

Capt. Allworth won the Dis tinguished Service Cross TOT bravery in action at Clery-le- Petit, France, November 5, 1918. While his company was crossing the Mouse river and canal at a bridgehead opposite Clery-le- Petit, the bridge over the canal was destroyed by shell fire and Capt. Allworth's command be- came separated, part of it being on the east bank of the canal and the remainder on the west bank. Seeing his advance units making slow headway up the steep slope ahead, this officer mounted the canal bank and called for his men to follow. Plunging in he swan across the canal under fire from the enemy, followed by his mon. Inspiring his men by his example of gal lantry, he led them up the slope, joining the hard-pressed platoons in front. By his personal lead ership he forced the enemy back for more than a kilometer, over- coming machine gun nests and capturing a hundred prisoners, whose number exceeded that of the men in his command. The exceptional courage and leader ship displayed by Capt. Allworth made possible the re-establish- ment of q bridgehead over the canal and the successful ad- vance of other troops. Capt.

ALF. BACH RETURNS
: FROM OVERSEAS DUTY
Was in the Engineers and Went
Thru the Terrible Battles of
Chateau Thierry and Argonne

Alfred H. Bach who has been sta
toned on the west bank of the Rhine
with the 3rd Division returned this
week to his home in Morris. He en-
listed December 2, 1917, and was at
tached to Co. c., of the 1st Replace
ment Engineers at Washington,s D:
C. Later he was transferred to Co.
F., 9Th Engineers, 3rd Division with
which unit he has spent the past 16
months in France and Germany. He
is veteran of Chateau Thierry, ST..
Mihiel and the battle of the Argonne
as we'll as of the army of occupation.
He reports that the Germans were
only too glad to have the Americans
cause they spent money freely but
because the natives feared that Boil
shevism would spread inland from
the east and devastate their country.
The Germans seemed to consider the
tall khaki clad men from the United
States an excellent protection against
Bolshevism. Bach was able to make
tour of the battlefields and to see
in the Argonne and at Chateau
Thierry the places where he and his
comrades had engaged in battle only
five months before. He was sent to
Camp Grant on his arrival in this
country and was mustered out of ser
vice there the latter part of last week.
