"Whenever the passage of the imperial train is to take place the fact is not known to the chief railiway official until the same day, and to his subordinates until a quarter of an hour before the arrival" the correspondent says. "In the otation the lines are all kept free." Describing one sch.'arrival of the . kaiser's train the correspondent says: "All workmen on this occasion whether Belgian or German, were dis patched outside, and access to .tho station was forbidden.- This applied to all passengers as well. The military guards occupying parts of the station and environs were ordered to leave their posts and pile their arms. The only persons allowed on the pint- form wer(J the station master, his em ployees appointed to work the signals .nd the military chief. There was .10 guard of honor, no manifestations whatever. This clearing of tiie stallon takes place at. avary station through which ��������� lie train passes, which it does at the maximum regulation speed. At Brussels delrainment took place opposite h0 Place Rogier, which is a tnilit- ry pc:-t since the occupation.' "The space in front of the station which is always forbidden ground to passengers, was occupied by several motor cars. As soon as the kaiser entered his car the small fleet ran swiftly to the Pare Rue Royals, where the kaiser stayed several hours "During the presence of the kaiser the officials always display the utmost nervousness in fear of anything taking place, and they always breathe a sigh of relief when their master is gone. The fact that even the military are obliged to retire and pile their arms seems to suggeat a distrust his own army.'' Mr. Ernest Phillips of Mt.

This activity on the part of the Knights of Columbus led to the publishing of the fact that between thirty-eigh timcl forty per cent, of the volunteers of the United States army and navy are Catholics. We presume there is another reason for printing this, one made necessary, no doubt by the fact that bigots throughout the country have ever attempted to reflect upon the national loyalty, of Catholics. It has been held to be a proper answer to show that in all "of our wars many thousands of Catholics have enlisted and that they are enlisting in vase numbers to contribute their lives and their power to the overthrow of German tyranny. The reason other denominations havo not been classified is, therefore, self-evident. Nor is there roMii for legitimate criticism because there has been an aimoune';iiie:it of the number of Catholics under arms as soldiers and r.ailors of this nation.���������America-Reveille, Bellingham, Wash. Notes From Hatzic Great sorrow is heing felt throughout the district- over the death ,of Mr. Hodgson, who "was one of the oldest and most respected residents of Hatzic. Following his removal to the Vancouver General Hospital,' where. X ray examinations showed the serious consequence of his recent accident, little hope had been held out for his recovery,-and death occurred on, Sunday-hi the presence of his wire and family. The deceased was well and favorably known- in ...the Eraser Valley, whore he' lias engaged in farming for 25 years and his untimely demise will be greatly regretted by a, large number of the old- timers in the Valley, who were his closest friends.- ' - Funeral service "and burial will take place on Wednesday morning, following the arrival of the morning train from Vancouver. Burial cere- mony will be performed an the Hatzic cemetery where the deceased will bo laid lo rest. Funeral services will be held in the hall at 10:30 a.m. The sympathy of tho district is extended to M?s. Hodgson and family. The Hatzic Shingle Mill will resume activities at the first of the month. '��������� Great excitement was caused at last Sunday's-afternoon service in the hall, when the woodwork behind the stove was discovered to be afire.- Prompt measures, however by somo members of- the congregation, succeeded in extinguishing the blaze before any damage had- been 'done. Luckily the- unexpected happened at a' time when the building was occupied or therwise we might have had a sad tale to relate. The ��������� Badmlngton club entertained Mission visitors at their afternoon session on Saturday. The ' visiting players were treated to refreshments , 'during the' afternoon. The D.

Election day passed off very quietly at Hatzic and only a small vote was polled. The results appear to have been satisfactory to most everybody who has expressed themselves thereon.

Editorial in the Florida Times-Union. In an editorial on ."The Unused Talent," the Greenville News quotes the following from a writer named Gray: "Full many a gem-'of purest ray serene e The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air." The News does not give Mr. Gray's initials or tell where he lives, but the lines he wrote are so pretty that we expect to hear from him again. There is a flaw, however, in what'he wrote��������������������������� due doubtless to haste. It is so patient that it will appear to the average reader, and so we feel that pointing it out is almost a work of supererogation. But for th-3 sake of those who are not quite up to the average we mention the fact that it is in the third line. A flower is not born; it blooms. It would be permissible to use the word "born" instead of 'blooms" if the'meter required it, but it dosen't. In fact the meter HATZIC WOMAN'S INSTITUTE.

But under the new' developments ��������� of the lawsuit between the govern- ' ment and the company, the latter may wish to precipitate a crisis and the possible definite closing up of business operation on the P.
