They have »set an example that other municipal bodies can profitably follow when the igoming big Y. M. C. A. campaign is fully launched. The answer of Mr. F.B. Carvell, Minister of Public Works, to the or« quest of the big depulation that waited on him yvstnr“a_\‘ with plans for the improvement of the harbor at Port Dover, was an assurance that the necesâ€" sary works would be carried out. Wanile the whole work cannot for war reasons be underiaken at once, still he was able to assure the deputation of Miis full sympathy and that the harbor work necessary to an early establishâ€" ment of a ferry service would be proceedcd with immediately. Mr. Carvell‘s commitment of his sovernment to the Port Dover Harbor project snells the realization of whai tweive months ago was re garded morely as a droum of a fow visionaries in the Kilchener Manufacturers‘ Association. But this is frequently the attitude towards the pioneers who blaze new trails. And in this as in other cases where large movements have had their incep: tion here, the dreamers possessed more than imagination. They backed their idea by a determination io realize if it was within the range of possibility. The biz doputation from adjoining counties, organized by local business men last October to visit Port Dover, was the opening gun. . The committee then appointed. of which Mr. E. C. Kabel of this city is chairman, and ~Mr. D. B. Deiweiler also a membher, have worked unceasingly ever since in the gatherâ€" ing of data and the perfecting of plans, with the splendid results now evident. Thanks to the Committec‘s efforts Kitchener and Watcrioo and all towns and cities between here and Port Dover on the line of the Lake Erie and Northern Railway will shortly enjoy the advantages o‘ a lake port, which will effect a saving to their citizens of upwards of $50,000 annually in freight rates. At the same time it will ensure a larger and move constant supply of coal and merchandise than heretofore, and numerous other advantages will be revealedâ€"as time goes on. % gas thivuach the use of which the Germon ar channel parts, was remarkab‘e, not omy for for the modesty of the speaker on a mattor W self and in connection with which he had t ferred upon him. ‘ The committee is entitled folk, BDrant, Waterloo and Oxfc its ense amid for the effective I the Minisior of Public Works Kitcherer and the Canadian Ciub were honored last night in the visit of Col.

Col. Nasmith‘s address to the members of the Canadian Club and the overseas men who were the Club‘s guests on the occasion, proved of the most interesting character, affording as it did, an insight into the worderful sanitary system that guards the health of the British soldier at the front. His description of the events leading up to his discovery of the nature of the deadly Chlorine gas thivuach the use of which the Germon army nearly broke through to the channel parts, was remarkab‘e, not omy for its graphic character, but also for the modesty of the speaker on a mattor which so closely concerned himâ€" self and in connection with which he had the highest honors possible conâ€" "Every position must be held to the last man.

The action of the County Council in voting the sum of $10,000 to the Y. M. C. A.

After three weeks of a combat which has eclipsed anything that has raged during the fours years of warfare Field Marshall Haig has isâ€" sued a command to his men to hold their ground at whatever cost and fight with the knowledge that their blows.are struck "for the safety of their homes and the freedom of manâ€" kind."
