Mr. R. E. Spillett is iniormed by letter irom a son oi T. J. Dillon that his iather psased on the 16th inst. in Toronto. It appears that the deceased had a stroke early in the month and evidently did not recover from it.

To the many friends i.n this Province oi the late T. J. Dillon this comes as sad news.

lie came here in 1892 to take charge oi the new dairy movement promoted by the late Dairy Com- mission, Jas. W. Robertson being put in charge oi the New Perth Cheese Factory. In addition to that Position he was required to render assistance in the starting oi cheese iactories in many other sections, particularly in King's' County, and later in all parts of the Province.

Mr. Dillon was well equipped ior such work, as he was an expert cheese and butter maker and was l giited platform speaker. Being oi an ardent, enthusiastic ‘tempera- ment he soon boomed dairy iarm- inl’ on the advanced co-opsrative PM True. he had valuable assist- flnce. but he, was the real dynamo "l the movement. He continued in the Dominion Government Service tlli 1890 when he started the ex- port business oi cheese and butter Ind shortly aiter iormed a partner- llhlll with Mr. Splllett under the "limo of Dillon and Spillett.

TIIBEATENIZD ELECTRIC POWER. COMPETITION-A meet- ing oi electric power users is to be held in the Board oi Trade Rooms tonight to consider a proposal by Morse-Fairbanks oi Canada Ltd., to start an electric‘ power station in Charlottetown. The iirms prom- 35° "185 by the scheme they. sub- mit users will get their power about 50 per cent cheaper than the rate they now pay.

At 4 a. m. fourteen years ago today Ludendcrii opened his great oiiensive against the iog envelop- ed British iront line oi over sixty miles irom Liens in the North to below St. Quentin in the-South. The British north front was held by the III. Army under Sir. Julian Byns. consisting oi l5 Infantry Divisions. while the ‘” n hali oi the line was held by the V. Army, under General Gough, and consisted oi 14 Iniantry, and 3 Cavalry Divisions, which like Byng's Divisions were all terribly under strength and tired out from long service. The V. Army iront had just been taken over irom the French and no defence lines had been completed, although they were under construction. Against this portion oi the line the Germ- ans threw 49 iresh Divisions, train- ed ior open warfare. Britain had 100,000 less fighting men in France at this time than she had in 1917, and these were not trained ior open warfare. as they had long been engaged in trench warfare. nUnder this overwhelming attack the V. Army cracked and the British armies were rolled back to Albert. which was captured on the 27th March. This howevenwas the high water mark oi the German success. The line held and pre- vented Ludendorii irom gaining his objective, the capturing oi armies and so separating the Brit- ish and French armies and his de- termination to then defeat the British army and push itbaek to the channel ports and then turn south and defeat the French.

Those were anxious days. Days never to be forgotten. Days when the French civilians aged and young. were iorced irom their homes to become reiugees seeking rest at night on the roadsldes and iields.

‘The spirit oi the British arm! was not broken. It accepted Halgs message oi llth. April and with its

(3) That the Town will do the necessary construction work.

.(1) Will the Government and Board oi Education recognize the standard:

(2) Will the Government oi P. E. Island make the Sulnmerside High School the Academy ior Prince County, and the County tile student constituency ior the Academy?

(3) Will the Government pay the salaries oi the "r. iessors so engag- ed by the Summerside School Board as is now done at Prince oi Wales College?

(4) Will the Government pay the cost oi construction that will be re- quired to make Summelslde High "“‘an‘-‘ ior thesaid County oi Prince, in whole, or 1i the Town does the work, in part?

Ii the Government approves the above proposals, legislation will have to be passed enabling the Summerside School Board to spend

lowed under the present act. TUESDAY
