The National Swiss of (ieneva recently published a long letter from a Swiss who is doing Red Cross work at Brussels. An extract from the letter says: "The number of Germans wounded arriving here is unimaginable. Trains, which we call cemetery trains, full of piled up dead soldiers, continue to arrive from the front. They contain bundles of dead; that is torn- bodies tied together to facilitate transportation. The bodies are burned promptly in special turn- aces erected just outside Brussels." that the German retreat continues along the Yser front. Troops are being despatched north apparently to prepare against new attacks by British fleet. Fierce artillery duel is raging along Belgian coast between German land batteries and British warships. Another British war fleet is reported to have put into North Sea and is lying off Ostend. London. — German army on Belgian coast is feeling very ac- cutely the terrible effects of winter weather, disease and shortage of food. The fine force with which the Kaiser hoped to break through to Calais is bitterly disheartened by the serious disaster it has met. Practically no winter quarters have been provided for troops who are exposed to rigors of West Flanders winter, and their fighting effectiveness is reduced to zero. London.--Situation in Servia reported critical. Servian army withdrawn from Belgrade and are hoping for Russian reehforce- ments through Carpathians. Fighting continues at Lowicz and Lodz. London. — The Yser canal is being cannonaded. l'etrograd. — Czar going to battlefront, (lerman prisoners in Lodz region, frozen hands and feet, resemble Napoleons troops back from Moscow. London.—Twelve British warships have gone to the South Atlantic in pursuit of (lerman fleet recently off Chile, now said to be in Atlantic. Boulogne. — Fifteen hundred ilritish officers and men in hospitals here suffering from frozen feet. Hundreds of these will lose one or both feet.

The failure of the Audacious to be included in list of hisses is explained by p irsistent rumors that the vessel and guns were salvaged and are und r ivpairs in Belfast yard after temporary repairs on the beach. Milan.— Petrograd despatches say Russians have bonibardtd Cracow forts with heavy siege guns; one of the suburbs is in flames. Bucharest. — After violent bombardment and attacks by Russian troops, Austrians pre- cipitatly abandoned Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, fleeing in disorder. Russian were enthusiastically welcomed by Ruthenian and Roumanian people. Submarines There seems to be an impression in some quarters that Germany is stronger in submarines than Britain and that in a naval engagement Britain would be at a disadvantage in this respect. The British naval annual for 1914 gives the figures of the torpedo flotillas of Britain and Germany as follows: Britain - Destroyers built, 218; building. 20; total, 238, with 12 projected. Torpedo boats, 70, Submariie boatS — Built 76; building, 26; o a _., Germany—Destroyers built, 142; building, lo; total, 152; 1 o- jected. Torpedo boats 17; suii- marine boats built, 27; , unclin ., 12; total 39. These figures show that Britain has over double the number of submarines posessed by Germany. satub iv Morning at its Printing iffice in South Fort George. SUBS!

The roads provided for vehicular traffic are, in parts of the province, of the first order, and many line wagon-roads are being rapidly built throughout the interior districts. Many more are needed, but considering the great amount of road-building to be done, progress in this line is slow. The main question then which confronts the people of this district is that mentioned in these columns a week ago, namely the placing in the hands of desirable, would- be settlers reliable information regarding the great agricultural possibilities of this district. The growth of the Georges has been spectacular, like that of a great many other western centres. The urban population of Canada has increased much faster than that of the rural districts, which have suffered in consequence. Such a condition could not continue, and the natural result of such a condition is making itself manifest in the great iUUUO Tho nr.licv of the Herald is primarily a constructive one. i desire of thousands of men to get a foot-hold upon the land. The time is ripe for the careful promotion of col onization work, and the Herald is desirous of doing all in its power to assist in the opening up for settlement of the vast agricultural lands of which we are a centre. These columns are always open for the discussion of any plans for mutual betterment, and from time to time an effort will be made to place before our readers ideas and plans, the promulgation of which would be for the best interests of the entire community. The Station Site As the date of the hearing on the Grand Trunk Pacific station site recedes into the past and becomes a distant unpleasant memory, so in the same proportion as the days go by does the indignation and bitter feeling of the Jn this clay of awful devastation, when a majority of the great nations of the world seem bent upon the pursuit of a policy of destruction - when the annihilation of a regi- ir nl of soldiers or the destroying of a valuable consign- mi nt of supplies, or the sinking of a richly laden steamer is acclaimed as a meritorious achievement, it behooves us to lay particular stress upon any and all subjects related to construction and production. The human mind is staggered at the appaling loss of life and property resulting from the gruesome reign of terror in Europe to-day. Furthermore, tbe human mind is entirely incapable of even remotely grasping the situation. That intricate machine of destruction, a super-dreadnought, ranges majestically over the seas; a hidden contact-mine is struck, and five hundred or more men and ten millions of dollars sink beneath the waves into the oblivion of dissolution. Many times during the war now raging two thousand men have met death in a single minor engagement. An eminent statistician,. writing in a people rise that such decisions recent issue of a reliable journal, by facts and figures Can be given by a Government shows that it costs upwards of five thousand dollars to kill j body appointed by and for the a man in battle. That of course takes into consideration People to protect their interests, all expenses connected with the ghastly tragedy. Think U!ltil a dumb- anffry despair then of the tremendous forces engaged in the obliteration of two thousand lives.

After due deliberation, and two thousand men to death It seems incomprehensible that such things can actually happen. Creative evolution seems set aside in the face of such wholesale destruction. Yet, in spite of all, rehabilitation has already commenced and the forces of war must eventually give way to the immutable forces of reconstruction. Canada, after passing through an era of un- of arrested development. Too great optimism and over confidence have brought about conditions in the newer sections of the country which have resulted in the cessation of wild-cat promotion schemes and the harmful exploitation of business enterprises, which, when treated conservatively, would have been profitable and legitimate undertakings. However, the old adage "It's an ill wind'a £''eat iniustice has been done. that blows no one good" holds doubly true when the ITh* iDe°r!le bave bee" .T*?.' „ • ,. , ., ,. . n , . J .. , m, and that by the very officials who agricultural situation in Canada is considered. The harvesters of the past season's crops have reaped large profits, and the increasing demand for foodstuffs of all kinds is bringing about the commencement of an earnest "Back-to-the-Land" movement, which will have as its result the beginning of an era of agricultural and industrial progress hitherto undreamed of by even the most optimistic - which progress must inevitably place Canada in the forefront of the world's great nations. All things spring from the soil, and the productivity of the soil provides the base upon which all industries must be founded, with the exception, of course, of the comparatively negligible harvesting of the wealth of the seas. Healthy and rapid industrial growth therefore depends greatly upon matters of legislation and the proper association of the intermingling factors of a country's various pursuits. Without those great common-carriers, the railroad trains and steamships, the grain of the prairies would rot in the fields. Therefore adequate transportation facilities are a first consideration. In the outlying districts, whence comes much of the wealth of field, forest and mine--where railroad construction must necessarily be slow, - a system of good roads, well kept up, fern !mary imP°rtance- Where large areas of virgin, raie tarm-lands await the settler, the co-operation of an Wu. g0,vernment wi* the various local publicity development impr°VemCntaSencies tends t0Wards raPid mi , wo4oSK ha'comme»ted frequently upon the fine U°n facil,tles ^rded by the three transconti- are sworn to see that they have their rights. Even those who have been benefited by the decision are not backward in stating that the decision in the face of the evidence submitted and in the light of all fairness is a travesty and does not do either the Government or the Railway Commission any justice, but holds them up to censure and loss of confidence of the electorate, which, without doubt, will be heard from in no uncertain manner, judging from the statements and expressions of public indignation heard on every hand. If it were the minority of our people who felt this way, we would have no excuse for our protest, as it is a fundamental right of the anglo-saxon race that the greater number must rule; -but when the overwhelming majority is against the decision ana in favor of George Street as the station site, then it is our right to know why we are not considered, why we are ignored, and why interests of those who are not even residents of the district — who have no proper right to dictate in the matter (being speculatars and townsite promoters only) - are favored as against actual residents who shall use the station and who have borne the burden of developing this great centre. As one of our readers has well said, South Ft. George and Prince George are towns that have naturally grown out of a movement or evolution from nothing to something simply by the force of their own will and destiny. Central Fort George, which the decision was made to favor, is a town that was created only by forced draft, by the unlimited expenditure of money. It came into being by the dictates and selling prices of one man's advertising propaganda, and is not natural. The result is that it is gradually receding as a factor of importance in the community of Georges. Its people have hung on as long as they could. They were induced in the first place by promises, by advertising, by prospects of rosy hue, and have learned to their bitter sorrow that the contrary has overtaken them. It is natural they should wish to be saved; but this should not be at the expense of the greater number and the later developments, especially as such a saving will only plunge the whole area into much the same condition and put us all back years in development, if in fact we ever can recover from such a catastrophe. Already one thing after another in the line of error — fail- of our Government to lend a helping hand; the world war; the financial depression — has stopped and delayed progress; why then throw in this unnecessary brake and set the people of the district at each other's throats and against the Government by a decision which only makes it harder for the business men and the people in general to live and to overcome natural obstacles? We cannot help putting ourselves most unequivocally on the side of the greater number in their indignation against the Railway Commission to whom they appealed with every right to be heard and to be fairly dealt with. The Herald is a people's paper; it is for the people, first, last and all the time and has no personal ends to meet.

If we set out to buy consistently only in Canada, we have to face the problem of inferiority in many goods, inferiority sometimes of material and sometimes of design. We do not wish to depreciate our country's produc tions, but there is no use denying the fact that much is bought in other countries simply because the material used in the manufactures is decidedly superior to the material used in similar things on this side. Of course this is true of many other countries, otherwise there would be no international commerce, and some one place must always have its specialty; but realizing the proportion of imports to the proportion of exports as shown by Mr. Wardleworth in his recent speech before the Montreal Housewives' league, we must feel that it is "up to us" as the purchasers of the nation I to correct this state of things. Now there is the unchangeable law that the "demand creates the supply", and "what the public wants, the public very often gets", so what we have to do is to ask and ask and refuse to buy until we get what we want. Every great movement towards good of any kind has its transition period, and the people who 1 live through this stage do not; always come in for the highest benefits of the movement. It is so with our "Made in Canada" movement. For instance, we may miss the beautiful gowns from the other side; we may miss the artistic colorings, but surely there are hundreds of clever men and women who could, and do produce wonderful effects, and would continue to do so if they knew that they could depend on a regular market for their work. There is a1 It is imposible to go into the ahead ' many deta>'s connected with this patriotic movement, and we have purposely given one of the women's chief arguments against it, namely, that the standard of some Canadian goods is not up to what they want. But allowing for that fact, we must still stand by our country, demanding the highest till we get it, and there will be many surprises among some people, for it is known that a great many firms would be only too happy to manufacture certain things if they knew that they could count on regular customers, It is not always the right people who get the blame, and we might just examine ourselves, and see if we have properly understood our own responsibility in the matter, and then work to make amends heart and soul by agitating to obtain what we want from our own country, and from nowhere else.

Hot Meals for Weary Soldiers The 1 raveling kitchen has for years been tried and approved in Ibe French, Russian, and German armies, and is now being used by each ., „, of these armies in the field. The et tei nient i , •, M j English (ie d kitchen is a two-horse antaoiel n limbered vehicle. It cooks for 250 men, allowing 10 quarts of hot food for every 12 men. Tbe rear part of the wagon contains a fire and four cooking pots in addition to a hot water boiler. Groceries, too, are carried. The only drawback to these cooking carts is that tbey materially increase the length of the baggage columns, and as an army corps with its baggage takes up 17 miles of road, this is a serious objection. But the traveling kitchens have proved their value. They enable a soldier to have a hot meal on reaching his bivouac. In earlier wars men preferred to sleep rather than wait for food which had to be prepared at the end of a long march. There are instances on record where officers had the greatest difficulty in arousing their men and inducing them to eat after they had gone into bivouac to sleep. FRED TIEMEYER, Proprietor. NOTICE.

We read the following in an Eastern exchange : It takes adversity to test the mettle of a b.ave people. The British nation never gets fully roused till it knows there is some national calamity just across the road. In this business of keeping industrial and commercial calamity out of Canada, every Canadian is getting his war blood to boiling point. If we can't shoulder rifles at the front, we can make every dollar we spend I for goods in Canada a national bid- j let for keeping out the calamity of hard times. This kind of lighting needs no drill. It entails no sacrifice. If means just enthusiastic common sense in the greatest cause ever faced by the Canadian people. There is an opposite side to this. The Colonist bus been told of the case of a man, who has a comfortable banking account, and a few dnys ago employed a mechanic to do some work for him. When the work was done, he declined to pay for it. giving as a reason that "many people were not paying their bills, and I can sec no reason why 1 should/' The man who can pay his hills and will not do so is an enemy to tlie community. A rner-. chant, a few days ago, discussing! this subject, said: "If we would all do what we can to help each other, paying promptly when we can, and forebearing to press those who would pay if tbey bad the money we would get along all right." Patriotism consists not only of fighting abroad, but also in doing our duty to our neighbor at home. up in me ..arpairuan mountains in eastern Austria, wliere rise the great Vistula to flow into the Baltic and the Dneister, to flow into the Black Sea, is the key to the situation so far as Russia is mainly concerned in this struggle of the nations of Europe, For the region to the east of the Carpathians, the crown land provinces of Galicia and Bukovina is the region that the Great Bear of the North has his eye on as his reward for the war, the region toward which his paw is even now reaching, which when it is once within his grasp, he will sweep into the realm of the Czar. The veil of secrecy yet conceals the condition of Austria's army, but a despatch from Rome emphasizes the statement that the forces of Francis Joseph are demoralized and that Russia met little resistence and found an openly friendly populace when it marched into Galicia. And well might the people be friendly to Russia, It is a case again of blood being thicker than water, of consanguinity deciding the question of affiliation. The 8,000,000 inhabitants of Galicia are Poles and Ruthenians. In the two provinces the bulk of the population belongs to the Creek Orthodox church, a further bond of attachment to the Czar's land. These are among the reasons why the Russians found such easy going when they invaded the country. These are the reasons why the humblest peasant was proud to lead the Russians, to point out the hiefden trenches of the Austrians. These are the reasons why secret signals have been given to the Russians; why a man, bearing a banner in a religious procession, so moved the staff that the burnished brass of its tip, glistening in the sun, flashed a message to the watching Russians. This explains the boy, whom an Austrian found high up in a tree, heliographing a message to the invaders with a bit of bright tin. They used to say the Carpathians were impregnable. By their invasion through the Uzsok pass the Russians have disproved this tradition. Northward into Silesia their plans doubtless lead them, whence they hope to invade Germany and march on to Berlin by the most direct route. This week's developments show that from this time increasing pressure will le brought to bear on Cermany's east. But the prize in all this for Russia will be the two provinces of Austria east of the Carpathian mountains, lands that long have seemed a natural part of Russia by reason of the national division of the people. £OLD WEATHER Specials at the Big Store, Saturday, and All Next Week.

Writing from the front, a second lieutenant states that the Germans must be an undisciplined crew. They loot all the wine and get blind drunk. The other day we missed 500 of them by two hours. They were all half-drunk, but got away in the woods. I heard a lovely yarn. Sume of our people cap- tured some Germans, and in the night one got away. They were very fed-up about, this, but next day he came back with eleven of his pals, whom he had persuaded to desert and come back with him. In view of several similar incidents I have seen I am inclined to believe this is true. Why is it that peace seems still so far off—in spite of I'eaee Societies and in spite of the battles which are being fought every day in Europe? Probably one of the reasons is that all those people who have been killed in war do not have a vote. Think of all the countless soldiers and innocents who have had the experience and paid for it with their lives ! If they could be brought back again, what a great and overwhelming pica they would make in favour of peace I Think of how, before this vast host, the small minority fades, whose lust for glory leads them to the murder of so many of their fellow beings !

The tale was written apparently for the entertainment of the Crown I'rince who subsequently reigned as Seti II. His name appears in two places on the manuscript • probably the only surviving autograph signatures of an Egyptian king. This piece of antique fiction, written on lt) sheets of papyrus in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy by Mmnc. d'Orbincy, who sold it in mil ta the authorities of the British Museum, where it is now knowii as the d'Orbincy Papyrus.

The importance of the district was not due to its territorial dimensions, for, including the splendid, spacious harbor of Kiao Chau, its area does not exceed four hundred square miles, but to the fact that it was the seat of (lerman power and prestige in the Far East, the centrepot of her Oriental trade, and, commanding the rich Shangtung position, it was the base of what influence she w succeeded in building up throughout China.
