“23117 Sgt. P. H. Crockett, Inf.
For conspicuous gallantry in action.
Although wounded, he assumed com-
mand of his platoc-n. handling his men
with great courage and initiative. He
set a splendid example of coolness
and ability throughout." The follow-
ing reference is made to Mr. C. E.
Fairweather, a former well known
banker of this city, who is a native
of New Brunswick, who was made a
companion of the Distinguished Ser-
vice Order: “Tc-mp. Maj. Charles
Edward Fairweather, ini. For con-
spicuous gallantry in action. With
his company, he dug a trench 200
yards in front of the front line under
intense fire, and thereby rendered
the support necessary to ensure the
safety of the ground gained by a
flanking battalion. He displayed the
greatest courage and initiative thro-
ughout."

of Cumberland, sold a carcass oi' pork
in thg city yesterday, weighing 587

handsome sum of $76.31.
-THE 8TEAMERS.- Considerable
lolly is reported in Summerside har-
bor but as long as the weather con-
tinues as mild as it was yesterday,
the S. S. Northumberland will be
continued on the western route. On
the first indication of severe frost,
however, sho will proceed to Char-
lottetown. It is expected that the
Stanley, which has been having her
boilers overhauled will be ready to
go on the Picton-iiharlottetown' ser-
vice on Monday next and perforrn u

HOME ON FURLOUGH.- Private
G. Frank Lane, oi‘ the 22lst (Bull-
dogs) Overaeas Battalion, Winnipeg.
is spending u furlough with his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Lune.
of this city. Private Lune held u good
position on the staff’ ot' the Canadian
Bank of Commerce, in Winnipeg,
when he enlisted in March lust. The
221st is now one thous-and strong.
and will likely be leaving soon for
Europe. Pte. Lune reports that re-
cruiting; is brisk in the west und' the
boys of the 22lst arc entering into
their work with great spirit. Pte.
Lane is one of the signallers. He is
n brother of Mr. l~`red Lane, the well-
known hockey player, at present with
thc- Bunk of Commerce stuff in Suni-
rnerside.
LATE SWiMMiNG.- A record in
late swimming was as-tablislfetl at
Charlottetown at noon on Cltristnizrs
Day, when a few of the cold-water en-
thusiasts of the Hillsboro Boating
and Swimming Club took fi plunge
into the icy brine at the” Iloating (‘lub
quarters, Fe-rry wharf. Needless to
say,.they did not endeavor' to swim
across the river, out to the harbot"s
mouth, or any such long distance
feat as that. Judging by tho ulacrity
they displayed in getting out of the
frosty wetness- they apparently had
reasons to believe that the river
might freeze over before they had
time to emerge from it. Any, way,
there were large' chunks of ice float-
ing about which were in themselves,
a menace to human navigation. It is
now understood that this- intrepid
bod ot’ ac uatic friends are satisfied
and have sworn to forego the “drink”
tifll next season.
BATTLE OF THE SOMME.- Any-
one who could see the :magnificent
war pictures, entitled: “The Battle
of the Somme," being presentetl at
the Prince Edward Theatre and not
be impressed with their realism and
the immensity ot’ the gre-.lt struggle
he hard to please. This is the picture
of which hir. David Lloyd-George-, the
British Premier, declared: "I am
convinced that when you have seen
this wonderful picture, every heart

its cause and purpos-9, which is no
other than that every one of us at

Mr. G. ld. Iiughes moved the fol-
lowing resolution: “itesolved that
this meeting of citizens urge upon the
City Council the necessity of at once
installing an up-to-date fire alarm sys-_
tem." ‘
Mr. Paton seconded the motion which
was carried.
Councillor Jenkins said that he as a
member of the City Council would
do all he cc-uid to provide up»to-date
fire equipment.
Councillor ,Rattray stated that a
'good fire alarm system could .not be
installed under $10,000.
Chief Rannghan said that in 14
years only two hydrants had burst, but
there was no way of testing them.
Mr. Prowse asked if the underwri-
ters had recelved authority to increase
the rate 15 per cent or if they had
done it on the-lr own initiative. He
said that the citizens were strongly
opposed to the increase, as uncalied
for and he did not think it was at all
fair that Charlottetown should be ask-
ed to pay for a fire- that had occurred
in Surnmerside. With regard 'to tax-
ation, he did not think that the insun
ance 'compsnies"should try to slidul-
der their share on to' others. Others
had to bear the taxes as well as they
and this was a time when all should
do t' '~ir part. The insurance corn-

had to Day theirs. - ‘ '

said, had to pay extra taxes and

responsibilities. There wus no rea-

.Mr. Alex Horne shared the views
of Mr. Sterns.
Mr. Chandler was also strong in
his protest against the increase, At-
ter furthe'r discussion Mr. John
McLeod moved the following resolu-
tion: “Resolved that this meeting
hereby express its strong protest
against the proposed increasegiu the
rates of insurance." Mr. Hughes
seconded the motion which was pus
to the vote and declared carried in the
usual way. A standing vote was
called for but there was a discussion
at the time' and me-lnbers of the meet-

was not taken. The meeting there-

RAPHAEL PREDICTIONS
FOR COMING YEAR
Er1g1aritl"s well known astrolo-
ger, Raphael, whose predictions are
always awaited with interest, has just
issued' his alniunac for 1917, in which
he predicts the end of the war in
1017. He says that the Presicnt of the
United States will be' in danger dur-
ing the winter, as well as some not-
able ciizens ot’ the States. He pre-
dicts u serious naval disaster in the
United States during the summer and
the inauguration oi' it religious cru-
sade against places of amusement.
ln regard' to the' war, it is sig-
'United States have also predicted*
the ond of the war -in 1017. the muj~
ority oi them fixing the date about
July 27. Raphael says that in thc full
and winter' of the present your (1016)
there is un ominous direction of Mars
and Saturn, which portcnds the de-
feat ol` Gemmfy, the overthrow ot
kingly power' and the establishment
of a German republic; 1917 will see
the end' ot' the war and the Kaiser,
too.
Raphael also sees trouble in Great
Britain after the war, and atldsz-
“Our Kings troubles will noi. end
with the war, for his sun is nearing
the place of Mars at birth, which
‘threatens renewed troubles, serious
disturbances lin the land, strikes_ and
bloodshed. The economic war will be
coming on, the battle bet_ween cup-
itu* and labor, or master and man. It
wi lic u most. anxious, hurrassing
time, which will continue for some
ears. Troubles threaten His Majesty
on every side."
Raphael also sees trouble f'or thc
Russian crnpire--sinis,ner and setd.`i-
tious influencecs within the empire
-and these will be augurnented
with the end of the war.
He predicts that the Archtluke
Charles Francis Joseph will occupy
the throne oi` Austria. before many
months have passed.
In the horoscope of President
Wilson, ltaphacl sees trouble brew-
ing also.
"President Willson is it clever man.”
he says, “but trouble awaits him. H-is
'Jupiter is in Arles near our klng’s as
nlilcant that astrologers in thu'
oendant, which is decidedly favor-I
able, and he cherishes no ill win
.against this country, but we must
not overlook the fact that his Mara
by progressive motion comes over
our King's ascendant. There are
strong indications that the president
will make an effort to secure peace
on u. footing favoring Germany. We
must watch and give him to under-
stand that we want not outside ad-
vice when the day of reckoning
comes. It must be no “give and take,"
but it clean, decisive job."
