delivered them, but that badges would
be delivered whan available.
Last November, O'Neill wrote again
and a member of the adjutant gen.
erals staff replied as follows.
"With reference to your letter of
Nov. Is, regarding war service badges,
l would say that badges issued by this
department are granted to members
Of the Imperial forces only when a
statutory declaration is furnished to
the effect that they were ordinarily
resident in Canada on the fourth day
Of August, 1914, and have since returned
and taken up residence therein.
Mr.. O'Neill can get no satisfaction
as to service button, war service badge
or formal discharge papers. He does
not feel any too well satisfied with hav-
ing fought with Canada. He is inclined
to blame British red tape and pre-
judice for conditions, however. He
says that the English officers and SOL
dier hated a Yankee and made it as
uncomfortable for one as possible.
Even the Canadian troops were not
beloved any too we'll by the British
officers and men. He says that he
certainly will not claim Canadian
citizenship to secure that war service
badge.
The Duluth rip-saw., 1920-02-07

HThe government took the position
that until Canadian publishers were
supplied to the full extent of their
requirements, as determined by its own
officers, the Fort Frances Pulp and
Paper company would not be permitted
to export any of its output.
Following the cessation of publ.
cation Of the Winnipeg dailies, Mr..
R. A. Pringle, K. c., formerly paper
controller, resigned. Mr.. R. w. Bread
ner was appointed paper controller and
is now at the Fort Frances mill for
the purpose of ensuring the enforce
ment Of the orders of the Canadian
government.
"The company throughout professed
readiness to ship to western publish
ers up to Is per cent. of the output
of the Fort Frances mill. This Is per
cent. represents less than half Of the
requirements of western dailies. Ap-
parently in keeping with this profes-
sion, the company has now shipped
three carloads of paper in bond to
Winnipeg and today, after great deal
of delay and difficulty, the contents
OF two OF the cars are available to
Winnipeg publishers.
"These shipments do not in any way
indicate submission to the govern
ment's orders; but the Winnipeg dai-
lies feel justified in assuming, from
Controller Breadner's presence at the
mill, that these orders will be enforced
by him and, upon that assumption,
have resumed publication on as nearly
normal scale as has been made pos
sible in the time at their disposal.
"This limited supply can last only
for very few days, but no effort will
be spared while it lasts to render to
the public reasonably normal serv-
ice, relying upon the government and
it's officers at the mill for the con.
tinued supplying Of full requirements
of newsprint paper.
cit must be stated, however, that
should the orders of the government
be further defied Or evaded, further
suspension is inevitable at an early
Gate.'

YANKEE IGNORED BY
CANADIAN OFFICIALS
Army Badge Refused American
Who Joined Canuck Army
To Fight Germany.

During the World War, Canada was
delighted to enlist William O'Neill, an
American then living in Buffalo. To.
day, O'Neill las no discharge papers,
no service button and has been refused
the war services badge.
O'Neill was given a "Protection
Certificate when he was sent on a
furlough, but he was directed not to
return for formal discharge. Since
then, he has been unable to get formal
discharge papers and the "Protection
Certificate is all he has to show
Canadian army services.
This American enlisted in February,
1918. By March he was on the
firing line. He helped Withstand the
Hindenburg drive and was in the front
row when the armistice was signed.
His service ended June, 1919.
Writing to the Imperial pension of
flee in Ottawa for his service badge
in May, 1919, reply was made that
no issues Of badges had been made

minion officials, thereby giving cause
for many discerning citizens to suspect
him of complacently, if not profit
ably, wearing the collar OF Baron
Backus.
PAPER controller Pringle backed up
and then backed down by turning in
his resignation. Mr.. r. w. Breadner
was at once named acting paper con-
troller and quickly dispatched for the
firing line at Ft. Frances.
Evidently knowing that Mr.. Bread
ner was on his way to Ft. Frances
with strict governmental instructions
to get out paper for the Western pub
fishers, Baron Backus and his hard
boiled bunch set about to save their
faces after such radical indulgence in
contumacy and contempt OF official
mandates.
On January 16, the Backusites came
off their high perch to the extent OF
offering to ship 40 per cent. of the
stated monthly allotment. Encourage
ment to carry out that offer was given
and something Of truce was petched
up. Cars of newsprint left Ft. Fran
ces Monday night, Jan. 19, and arrived
in Winnipeg Thursday morning, Jan.
%.
How the Backus rebellion against
the pronunciamentos Of the Ottawa
government eventually will end, time
must be awaited to tell.
As a result Of the contumacy of
Baron Backus, three daily papers in
Winnipeg completely exhausted their
stock of newsprint and were compelled
to suspend publication from Jan. l6
to Jan. 20. When the Free Press, the
Telegram and the Tribune companies
saw the grave shortage in paper, they
pooled their stocks and kept the
presses running and the papers com
ing as long as possible. The end came
at the time and for causes stated.
During the period of suspension, the
Winnipeg dailies put out a small bulle-
tin, a mere handbill. "The Manito-
ham, weekly college publication,
then came out daily with issues Of
about 1000 copies each.
There was great demand fol-
