MISSING SOLDIERS
RETURN TO FIND
WIVES REMARKED

OTTAWA, Jan. SIN the release OF
1900 Canadian soldiers from German
prison m the sad story Of Enoch
Arden is to be repeated.
The men, who were first reported as
missing and later as dead, nave been
located In Germany since the signing
Of the armistice and are now going
through the process of repatriation.
They will soon return to Canada.
Many of these soldiers have been
missing since the battle OF Ypres. the
battle at hat historic village when
Germans used poison gas for the first
time, and have been given up long
since as dead by relatives, friends and
the war records office. The German
authorities never reported them and, for
reasons best known to the nuns them
selves, all letters they wrote never got
outside of Germany.
A report on the whole matter Is be-
ing prepared that is expected to clear
up the mystery of their long silence.
1t is presumed that they must have
been confined to certain camps where
the German officers and guards were
particularly brutal or else the men were
recalcitrant and the Germans, In re-
taliation, refused to report them, In
violation of international war regula-
lions.
While the discovery of the 1900 miss
ing soldiers, mourned for years, will
bring joy to many homes, 1t will result
in tragic complications also. Reports
have been received at Ottawa already

ARCTIC RAILWAY MAY NOT
BE COMPLETED THIS YEAR

THE PAS. Manitoba, Jan. 31.-An-
nouncement that work on the Hudson
Bay railroad may not be resumed this
year has caused disappointment in
ton. 1t is expected that pressure will
be brought to bear on the government
to push through the work. The road
will cost about 49, 0 900 to complete, it
is said.
The route Is north from here to Port
Nelson, which may be the metropolis
OF the inland Arctic. Three hundred and
forty-two miles of road have been built.
The final stretch is 80 miles, 1t is
claimed that difficulty in obtaining
steel rails has halted the work.
The railroad was built to provide a
route for the fur business and to tap
the mineral resources of a great sec
ton bordering on the Arctic. This dis
trict Is virtually devoid of timber.

Cincinnati authority, who tells you that

You simply apply a few drops Of this

the soreness is instantly relieved,
Shortly the entire corn can be lifted

GOVERNOR COOLIDGE Of Msssa-
chusetts Is in the limelight now be-
cause he proved to b = man Of cour-
age. backbone and determination. He
refused TO bow to the radicals on the
labor question and stood firmly for
Americanism In every sense. He WIS
reelected governor OF the Bay state
by $4,000 majority. The American
people are rot behind the Ied leaders
of labor unions in any state of the

out Considering the issues involved
in the reelection OF Governor Cool
idge, together with what is happen

sumcd that he has become strong

THE reelection of Governor Cool
idge has been commented upon As
= result Of national aspect and conse-
quence by the leading newspapers Of
the country, = circumstance that
shows how deeply the country was
concerned in the events which made
the issue in Massachusetts,. And It is
true. ~ intelligent citizens every
where know. the feeling was wide
spread at the time that Massachusetts,
was dealing with a crisis that might
become nation wide, and that the cour-
ageous Massachusetts, executive was

patriotic sentiment OF = single state,
since he was pointing course Of con-
duct that not only offered the solution
Of vital problem at home. but sound
ed call to patriotic vigilance and ac-
tion everywhere. Since the Boston
erisis there has arisen = condition
which gives to the events leading up
10 Governor Coolidge's triumph still
greater significance. Industrial I'M
rest and suspension have not only
aecentuated our most distressing econ
omic problems, but rendered more diff
hcult the nations reconstruction tasks
and more imminent the need Of assert
ing as = reminder to all concerned
that the maintenance Of the govern
msnt's supremacy and the inviolabil-
ity OF American institutions trans
cends all other questions Of domestic
or national concern whenever condi-
tions render action necessary. Just
what the politicians are thinking Of,
or what they have in view ms feasible
issues upon which TO hang their hopes
Of political preferment next year, can
not impress the public mind much in
the presence Of possibilities such as
the Boston crisis suggested. This
other thing which Governor Coolidge's
reelection aeeentustes is in the minds
Of the thinking masses as the one
question Of paramount concern. And
in the presence OF such a question
the customary partisan boasting
makes no appeal to the people. The
Republican and Democratic leaders |
might well sense this truth, II they
wish TO avoid surprises. There never
was a time when mere party names
meant so little to the average citizen. |
The circumstances, manner and scope |
Of the Massachusetts, result may prove
of national consequence in highly |
important sense.
