CORRESPONDENCE . ROSS RECRUITING MEETING . To THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR , I should feel obliged if you could give me this opportunity of expressing my regret , at having missed the meeting held under the Town Hall arches on Saturday evening - because I was anxious to take my share in putting country above party - and joining with those who are putting politics aside , in order to present a united front to our enemies .

I am , yours etc. , Johns who was the only defendant to ap- pear , pleaded not guilty . Col. the Hon . A. E. Dalzell , of Burton before war Court , Linton , stated that on August 20th last he was driving towards Mitcheldean Road Station , in the parish of Lea with Mrs. Dalzell in a governess cart . Just as they reached the Stationmaster's house by the railway bridge , two traps with two men in each came galloping towards them from the direction of the public - house . Both drivers were driving furiously , apparently as if they were racing , and the traps were swaying from one side of the road to the other in zigzag fashion . The condition of things conveyed the impression that the men were intoxicated . The first trap cleared their governess car by about four to six feet ; but the second came up as if it were coming straight into them . He ( witness ) was on the right side of the road , and the second trap must have gone into them had he not pulled the pony into the side and up the bank . When he saw how the trap was coming , he jumped out of the cart , rushed to the pony's head , and pulle it round . He also held up his hand to turn the approaching pony away . After the trap had missed theirs by about n inch , the men galloped the pony and trap Preece had a much better supply all round , and prices ruled higher than the previous on up the road , and it went up into the bank market . The entry of pigs was fair , and and nearly overturned , but it righted itself met with a ready sale . The calves numbered again . He could not swear that defendant but he thought 20 , the highest price paid being £ 5 58. for of the men , he was . one the property of Mr. Burford , of Hilders- In reply to the Magistrates , Colonel Dalzell said he thought it was a foregone ley .

Church offertories have been given as follows : -16th August , £ 11 1s . 4d . , for the National Relief Fund ; and 13th September , £ 5 16s . 6d . for the Belgian Relief Fund . The Vicar and churchwardens , in confining themselves to these two funds , were moved by the danger of there being a number of societies com- peting one against the other , and posssibly overlapping in their work , thus giving rise to what is most undesirable , namely , fraud and waste . Money has also been collected of Mrs. Jones for the Red Cross Society . was one Springfield , 15th Sept. , 1914 . R. H. VERSCHOYLE . PATRIOTISM . is obvious , To THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette .

There to contradict the statement that I am a is not the slightest foundation for this , as neither myself nor my wife have any connec- tions whatever with Germany . My father and grandfather were born in the ancient city of Bury St. Edmunds , not far from the town of Debenham , in Suffolk , from which my people originally came . My great uncle , Capt . John Debenham , R.N. , served with Lord Howe , 1814 , and assisted at the cap- ture of Trinidad , and lastly at the passage of the Bar of Bayonne , where he succeeded troops , for which he was personally thanked by the Duke of Wellington , and honourably gazetted for his bravery .

He had a communication with Johns , who told him that arrangements were made to have a trotting match between Johns and Taylor to Pontshill and back round another direction . Johns got away first , and he said that he did not see anything of Taylor after he got away , neither did he see any gover- ness cart on the road at the Lea . Taylor was the man in the second cart , and Hodges was in his company . He afterwards saw Tay- lor , who denied seeing the governess cart , or that Hodges was with him . Defendant Johns said that was perfectly true ; he did not see the governess car or the lady and gentleman . Col , the Hon . A. E.

There would be compulsory lot of trouble . service at once , a tariff would be established immediately , Ireland would be perfectly quiet and orderly - you have only to look ne Prussian Poland to be quite satisfied on that point and it would be quite possible that the Kaiser would deign to spend a few months at Windsor every year , as the climate of England seems to suit him for a change . The third alternative I hardly dare venture to mention it seems so utterly foreign to present - day sentiment . Let me whisper it . It is to fight now at once before our peace- preaching friends and cousins have quite completed their preparations . If we do not It is equally certain that the huge increase adopt the second alternative , it is far and away the cheapest plan , and surely the most in her Navy , straining as it does her finances , honourable . What can be more undignified ean only be justified if it is done with the and derogatory than this everlasting carping set purpose of crushing our Navy and ren- about Dreadnoughts . And if we fight , what dering invasion of this country an easily is the prospect ? We blockade the German carried out scheme ; to be followed of course ports , we sweep up every ship on the sea -amongst other things - with an indemnity , carrying the German flag , we bombard their which would fully recoup them the money dockyards and make their Dreadnought they are spending on ships and other warlike preparations . TO THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR . Our country is threatened with a grave danger by the loss of our sea power , due to the feverish haste with which Ger- many has increased her Navy , and by the extensive preparations she has made for car- rying to the coast and embarking a large army , the only objective of which can be Great Britain . Seeing that peace and good - will is being preached , while these warlike preparations are being carried on , one may cast about for other reasons that can explain this feverish peparation for war ; but it is hardly possible for instance to believe that sober States- men and financiers like the Germans are chucking the Fatherland's money away simp- ly for the pleasure of enjoying a game of beggar - my - neighbour with Great Britain ; and if we examine the Kaiser's explanation that he is preparing for the great fight with the East , it really will not hold water for a minute ; and , look at the position - how we may - we can come to but this conclusion that Germany means to rule the West , and that we , at present , stand in her way ; that her intention is as soon as she is ready - to over - power our Navy , over - run our country , and that done , annex Belgium , Holland , Denmark , and the Scandinavian Kingdoms , and with England under her heel - who is to stop her ? Under these circumstances , what are the alternatives open to us ? The first is to go on building Dreadnoughts ( properly armed ) as fast as we can ; in the hope that the German taxpayer may get tired of the game before we do , or that the Kaiser may be gathered to his fathers , or that something unforeseen may happen , The second is to make terms with our enemy , while he is still in the gate . Tell him that we are no longer the same people who saved his country and the rest of . Europe from Napoleon's yoke ; that we are building very hazardous work - if not impos- sible ; we cut off their Colonies and take pos- session of any that may be worth taking ; we stop all their over - sea trade , and we shall most likely be able to collect sufficient evi- dence to enable us to settle the question of which is the best sort of ship to build " to lie in the line , " and what is the best arma- ment for her .

Health of body and the resulting elasticity of mind are of supreme importance to everyone living under the strenuous conditions of modern times . The person who is " out of sorts , " " off colour , " or " below par " is not in a condition to make the most of life . Now , the necessity of keeping the organs of digestion in a thoroughly clean and active state can never be too strongly emphasised , since they are the channels through which the body receives its nourish . ment . It is therefore a wise , as well as a simple course , never TO BE WITHOUT Beecham's Pills . the tonic , corrective and curative properties of which , promote a healthy action of the liver , stomach , kidneys and bowels , thereby rendering the work of digestion and assimilation easy and satisfactory .
