IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our father, the late
Nathaniel Knox, who departed this
life October %. 1912.
So sad and Misunderstanding was the call
OF our dear father, who was loved by
all
We never thought that on that day
Our. loved one would be called away.
God took him home-it was His will,
But in our hearts we love him still
His memory is as fresh today
AS in the hour he passed away.
1t seems unreal that he is gone,
His voice is heard no more
That he has crossed deaths slumber-
tide
And reached the other shore.
We miss him in the eveningtime
When busy cares are DER
AS we sit and talk
Where we often sat before.
Oh could we see him once again
AS in the days gone by
When he was walking by our side
And knew not death were nigh.
But we must wait till we have done
With time and earthly things
We cannot fly to that blest home
Till we have found our wings.

complex prewar barter system, by
which the Reich attempted to do
business without formal exchange.
In agreement on military plans,
the Big Three also were repeatedly
in harmony on postwar occupation
of Germany, with Britain taking
over the northwest, the U. S. the
southwest and Russia the east.
Twin Thrusts
While the Russians drove in from
the east, the U. S. and British
undertook a large-scale offensive in
the west, with Field Marshal Ber-
nard Montgomery's Tommies at
tempting to outfank the Siegfried
line terminal of Kleve on the north
ern end of the front and move down
the Ruhr valley.
Following II hours of intensive
:. aerial and artillery bombardment,
Montgomery's forces, paced by
tanks and flame throwers, fought
deep into the Reichwald forest
screening Kleve, while the Ger
mans rushed up reinforcements in
an effort to curb the offensive. Not
only would British break-through
imperil the industrial Ruhr val
ley, but it would place the Tommies
at the rear of Nazi troops holding
a line against the U. S. First and
Third armies farther south.
While Montgomery's offensive
mounted, the First and Third
armies continued to chew deeply
into the once formidable Siegfried
line, with the battering Yanks en-
countering new earthwork defenses
beyond the west wallis concrete
bunkers, pill-boxes and tank
traps. Stronghold after strongpoint
in the Siegfried line fell as the Nazis
appeared to be falling back into the
earthwork system, stretching as far
back as the Rhine in some places.
Attack In West

battered Prussian stronghold Of Ber-
lin, another great and equally i'm

In pressing their great offensives

AS Swedish reports played up a

respectable regime for approaching
the Allies for peace, the Big Three
conference continued in the Black
Sea area, with Messrs. Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain announcing
completion of plans for the knock
out of the Nazi military machine.
Although Hitler would remain as
the head of the German state under
the reported shakeup, actual power
would pass into the hands OF willy
Fritz Won Papen, ace diplomat and
Reich chancellor before the Fuehr-
er's ascension to dominance. Al
though a conservative in tone, Won
Papen, reports had it, would have

Only one in ten anticipates moving

RAIL TRAFFIC.:
Car Shortage

One great artery linking the ma
ton into whole, the U. S. railroad
SYSTEMS operations in one section
must strongly affect activities in an
other as the recent heavy snow
storms and frigid weather in the
northeast have proved.
Because of the delay in returning
rolling stock from the storm area,
and the necessity of giving impor-
tant military freight the right of
way, an acute shortage of box
cars has developed in the middle
west, it was said. The situation
has been all the more complicated
by the fact that terminal mills and
grain elevators have made a heavy
demand for box cars in the face
of record 1914 harvest and large
carry-over.
Freight difficulties have been
equally matched by passenger serv-
ice troubles, it was also said, what
with the severe winter weather de-
laying the arrival of many trains
in midwest terminals and resulting
in travellers missing connections on
lines leaving for the west.

CANADA:
Draft Trouble

Reaffirming its traditional privi-
leges of self-government under the
British North America act (the
Canadian constitution), French
speaking Quebec's 22nd legislature
convened in the same week as
English speaking voters in the
Grey North district of Ontario re-
pudiated the dominion governments
compromise overseas draft policy.
Strongly opposed to an overseas
draft, the Quebec legislatures firm
declaration of self government,
coupled with the assertion that the
minority's interest in any change in
the dominion's constitution should
be respected, indicated that French
Canadians aimed to maintain their
position on CONSUMPTION.
Meanwhile, reputation of the gov
ernment's compromise overseas
draft policy to avoid head-on col.
ision with Quebec meant that Pre-
mier King may be compelled to
call a general election to thrash out
the question publicly and strengthen
an administrators hand on dealing
with the touchy problem.

SURPLUS GOODS:
Lnf,estignte Sales


With congress announcing its IN
tention to go into the whole ques-
ton of surplus property disposal
now to develop fair practices rather
than to wait until most of the goods
had been sold, the senate war
investigating committee ranged
over the whole matter, with en-
phasis on operations of an auction
eering firm allegedly soliciting bust
ness through high officials.
During the course of the commit
tees inquiry, it was learned that
purchasers bought surplus mate
rails at bargain prices and then re-
sold them to the government at big
profits, and that test tubes, stopper
corks and surgical dressings were
being classed as surplus while fac
tories worked around the clock
turning out more of the same items.
In investigating the affairs of Sur
plus Liquidators, Inc, it was
brought out that Herbert Bayard
Swope, consultant to Secretary of
War Henry Stimson, had written to
Jesse Jones, former secretary of
commerce, asking for the latter's
consideration of the firms plans for
disposal of surplus goods. There not
only was pre-arranged bidding at
Surplus Liquidators' auctions, it was
charged, but sales were made with
out any competitive bidding at all
and in some cases buyers later were
asked to pay higher prices for goods
they had previously bought.
