LONDON, Jan. 7, 10:40, p.m.-r-A complete change in the situation in the Near East may be brought about by the'1 Russian victory over the Turks" In the Caucasus. If the Turkish defeat is as sweeping as has been officially reported—the virtual de Btructlon of two and the repulse of a third Turkish army corps—the Turk ish menace against the Russians in Transcaucasia has been removed and the loss of so many of their best trained officers and men, it is believed here, will compel the Turks to give up any ambition they had of Invading their enemy's territory. ' Military men, however, are taking even greater Interest in the Russian Invasion of Hungary, through Uszok' pass in the Carpathians and their rapid adyance , on Transylvania through Bukowina, simultaneously with their movement toward Cracow. These combined operations are the most gigantic undertaken in the war. Mud Holds Guns Back In the meantime the Russians are held by the Adstro-Germans ln west ern Galicia and Field Marshal von Hindenburg. the German commander In northern Poland, can move but slowly, because of the mud, in his Offensive oeratlons against Warsaw. A despatch from Petrograd says that. aviators have observed German artillery at the frontier railway sta tlons, which cannot be moved on ac c^unt of the softness of the roads. It lias been suggested that the Germans intended to use the Vistula for the transport of their guns but with the Russians in possession of the northern bank this obviously would be lmpos Bible.

Oranges and apples were selling on the Russian Christmas eve for 25 cents each.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 7, via London, If, p.m.—"If the United-States had not como to our aid it would havo meant starvation fop most of us," said Alfred Nerlnex, provisional • burgomaster of Louvain, to tho Associated Press' today. "We are willing to work but we cannot when the doors '-are closed to exports. We cannot buy food oven if wo had the money, when tho doors are closed to Imports. It is no fault of oura if we starve. Feed' us now and we will pay you back when the war If over. "Wo are paying back in gratitud* for the lives which America has saved. "Hero amidst the ruins of my town I do not lose heart. I know we shall rebuild It all If we can only have food to keep us alive. "Tho most powerful army , In thf world cannot Teutonize Belgium but America, armed with bread, Is Americanizing Belgium. My worst fear If that thcr0 will bo bread riots if the relief stops.'' M. Nerlnex said thc population of Louvain was only 3000 less than before tho Gorman occupation. Tho people whose homes had been burned are living with their neighbors*. The burgomaster said ho was giving work t0 the idlo by having them clear tho streets and repair houses which can be made habitable while the people wero living on American 'bread. On tho journey from Uosendaal tc Brussels by way of Antwerp the cor- respondent of tho Associated Press had to show his passport 20 times to land- strum sentries, mostly Saxons nnd Bavarians. Often these sentries were men 45 years old. The pass was required to be shown at. thc outskirts of every town and at intervals along tiie. road, Foreigners are not permitted access to the military zone west of th- Antwerp-Brussels-Mons llnh und in the so-called zone of military occupation iir eastern Belgium the restriction.* against travel are tight. It is difflcul' for any Belgians to pass from one town to another. They can communicate with one another only through the German mulls. The representatives of the America" relief commission have the freedom o1 tiie country. Hunger is driving more ind more persons who havo been wel' to. do to stifle their pride and ask for bread. Tho remote towns wher-. sufferings are most acute are now being reached by thc commission and no Belgian who will ask for food need lit hungry.

In tho Crimean war fighting at hm between vessels propelled by steam, power was first inaugurated. In the American civil war submarines wore firBt used in warfare and It was net until tbo Turko-Itxllan war that alrcraf played an Important pari. The present war has introduced subterranean fighting, which Is the -fifth method of carrying on war, and "Probably the last one to be originated, Aiv account of this underground fighting, written bj an eyewitness at the front is as follows: "The change within the last few days of what may be termed the at- moephero of the battlefield haH been marked. Tho noise of cannonading \\b$ now decreased to such an extent tha* for hours at a time nothing is heart' but tho Infrequent boom of one of tht heavy guns 3f the allies, the ocensiona' rattle of machine guns and the Intermittent fire of snipers on either side So far as the use of explosives Is concerned, tho greatest activity is fount" in local attacks with hand grenade) and short range howitzers. Tho enemy lias practically ceased his efforts tt break through the line hy assaults ami ho Is now devoting his energies t,C tho same typo of siego operation* which have been familiar lo the allies slnco the beginning q( the battle of tn\ Aisne."

In such things wc expect to be a very much *older nation than wo ore now beforo we can compete with people who have been hundreds of years In learning the art," says a Canadian writer. "But when arguments are put forth to show that Canadians can save money as well ,'ns show enlightened patriotism by purchasing "Made In Canada" goods, we should not Ignore tli0 fact that wo have people as expert ut making the crief staple necessities of life as the.Persian woman who inherited her capacity .for making rugs from some ancestor born about the time sun worship first became a fad. .

Embarked from Dublin, We left Carlow on the Saturday'for Dublin and embarked there for Havre whore we arrived on'Monday evening. Tho trip across-waa pretty'bloody with the smell of horsoa, etc coming up from the hcAds and of course we had no sleeping accommodations and slept on the deck or wherever'we'could* get.

There were 12 of us to, start .with and one was either ctiiptured or shot when we were in Belgium; we don't really know what happened to him only that he is missing. They are all Jolly good, souls and we get on very well together. Of course we have arguments, etc., but who wouldn't? Seven of them are 'varsity men and the othor four ar0 public school men. My particular pal is a South African named Bagshaw and if they want two. of us to go off for anything we usually, go out together ill-'we can.

AMI CM SPORT B SO DANGEROUS Statistics Show Deaths and Injuries Few in Proportion to Numbers Engaged In Games. People who do not believe In apart frequently urge as one of their stock arguments against various strenuous games Indulged In hy the red-blooded that they are dangerous to l(fe -md limb. An American sport writer has collected statistics showing the toll of life and limb exacted by sport ln his country ana claims that it Is declining. Whether sport without an element of danger in It would have any fascination for the Anglo-Saxon is not argued, but the writer voices the belljf that the same number of men and boys who have been injured or killed ln.thls country when engaged in sport would, if engaged during Ihe same number of hours in work or travel, meet with Injury and death In proportion d'ully as great as they did- in foi lowing their favorite sports. Careful reconlB have been kept of tho three major sports of the season just closed and they show that Americans are attaining, a more safe and sane policy on their many playgrounds and In the forests. Percentage of Injuries Small. Of the millions who have gone inl-j the woods with the rifle, played th3 great national American game of base, ball and put their muscles to tho strenuous tests of football, only 159 have met death this year. Thd injuries Which the tabulators classed as serious total 4,080 and of this number fully lhail lhave ontirejy recovered. When one stops to think of the many who engage in those great pastfnus, fully 10,000,(100 at the least estimate, the toll of death and injury does not seem so terrible. The hunting" fntat- itles of tho year fell off from 136 hut year, although the injuries jumped from 125 to 102. A campaign of warning was wagod in each of the 18 states from which the figures are drawn. Wisconsin lost 33 hunters'; Michigan. 27; Minnesota, 12. Michigan had 12 Injured huntsmen; Wisconsin, 36, and Washington, 20. From the statistics of the game [ license bureaus it iiiiimiiioii in) Hi ii 'iliiifj 150,000 hunted deer 'during' ttyhppeu Baseball, ln which nearly every boy in America indulged and lully one- fifth of American men too* iiart, as- aides the numberless professional altd semi-professional players, makes a rte' markably good showing with.only fig deaths attributable to Injuries, received in the game. ' Of this number ill were hit by pitched balls, five werS struck with bats, four overtaxed them; selves, one was hurt sliding K> a basli and one was killed in a .fight. ;' Of the U18 injuries recorded aft apparently serious, 314 were of broker* limbs, 18 had concussion of the brain-, 13 had their skulls fracturjs4,., jfotir. wero paralyzed,' ,17 received, seiious sprains, 20 were spiked, 17 received fractures, Beyen were put otlt of fvn running by dislocations and 10 werll victims of torn ligaments. ' *» Not Many Football Fatalities.' 1 Football, the most strenuous nl American games, exacts a remarkably light toll this year. Of colirse," tlfij death list of i$ does not convey th$ full seriousness of the game. Among the Injured, and they are so many and constant that they could not all be accurately tabulated, many are permanently injured. ' (• Considering the great, numbers o; school teams, college teams and boys who took part ln the game this year* and the opportunities for rough work'' which are always present In the garni*, tiie wonder Is that the death list ia so. small. This Is attributed in part t6 the school and college teams and the careful selection of the most hardy, youths to make .up the teams. • " Only two of the fatalities were among college men; one of these died from heart disease and the other from injuries in a class game The others were members of high school, preparatory school or free lance teams! None Of the boys were over. 20' years of age. "" ')' Tackling waa the principal cause of the injuries that resulted in death. Of tiie 4,000 and more cases of injury noted fully half are Known- to have entirely recovered, and it Is estlimatn'l that the recoveries will reach three, quarters of the number. The teacher had written on the board tbe question, "What day was yesterday?" and "What day Is today?i; and the little girl gave these philosophical answers: „..

Oreat Britain to borrowing money under conditions which are exceptionally favorable and to paying 3% per cent on bonds Issued at 96, which Is a 6.per cent discount compared with IK per cent tn the case of the British Columbia issue. It must also be taken Into account that tbe British government can always borrow money nibre cheaply than can other parts of the Empire and that money is worth more on this side of the Atlantic than in Europe. .The wonderful natural resources of British Columbia, the rapidity of development which will follow when conditions permit tbe full benefit of the opening of the Panama canal and the'operation of the new railway lines tor'become effecttve and the strong financial -position which tbe province enjoys are chief among the reasons for the. success with which the government haB been able to float the loan! ■ -. THE BOY SCOUTS. The time is opportune for the formation of additional corps of Boy Scouts at points in Kootenay and Boundary and efforts should be made to, take advantage of the favorable conditions which exist. The physical and moral value of the Boy Scout training has been recognized. The boys receive healthful exercise, they are taught observation, they are trained to observe tbe gold- enrule. The training which they have received has enabled 12,000 .Boy Scouts ln 'tbe United Kingdom to serve their country since tbe war broke out hy acting as messengers, as look-outs and in a Bcore of other directions. In Ottawa the Scouts have been employed by the government In various capacities. Belgian Boy Scouts did noble work during the Ibuttles for the possession of that country during the first weeks of the war; by Germany and by other of the belligerent nations they are being used ln duties which It would otherwise be necessary to delegate to men fitted for purely military operations, who are thus set free for sterner work. . War office authorities know that Boy Scouts are trained ln discipline, in the quality of trustworthiness, ln carrying out their duty in the direction in which It may He. The ap polntment of Boy.

'The need for the use ot Boy ScoutB in such duties In Canada has not yet been felt to any great extent but boys who Join the corps In their town or city will be fitted to become better citizens by the training which they will receive and they will be prepared to answer their Empire's call If they should be needed to carry out work for which they will be fitted. This institution, according to Sir George Palsh, financial adviser to the British government, takes twenty- third place among 34 banks' in the world which have deposits of over 1150,000,000, Its deposits In 1913-^1 year which Sir George took as"a basis for his figures—exceeding those of the imperial bank of Germany, which Is financing the war for the German empire. During the year ending Nov. 30 last, which Included four months of war, the Canadian Bank of Commerce made net profits of $2,668,233.29 out of which the usual dividends of 14 per cent and bonus of 2 per cent were paid to stockholders; $80,000 wis transferred to the pension fund; $60,- 000 was paid to the Canadian Patriotic fund and $5,000 to the Canadian Red Cross society. In accordance with the policy of strengthening Its resources the sum of $1.,117,7«3.27 was carried forward by the bank tp Its reserve fund. Although the prof- Its of the bank were slightly smaller than In 1913 the result of the year'3 operations Is considered most satisfactory. Deposits showed comparatively small fluctuation, the total ln 1914 being $181,608,809 compared with $192,813,715 „ln 1913. The decrease was In the current accounts, the savings or Interest-bearing deposits remaining at practically the same fig ure as ln the previous year. (During the past year the bank has increased Its "quick" assets, those which are capable ot rapid conversion Into currency, by 2 per cent to a total of 39 per cent, which 13 one of the highest which can be quoted. ■ ■ Current loans In Canada show a decrease of about $4,306,000 and those outside of Canada a decrease of $8,- 000,000. Current loans In Canada In 1914 were $132,108,482, while those outside tbe Dominion were $10,419,- 694. The Canadian Bank ot Commerce has several branches In tho United States and the term "outside Canada'- may be taken to cover the business of these offices. In this connection It is significant that tbe deposits received by tbe United States branches ot the bank totnl $20,404,801 against current loans outside of Canada totalling $8,920,859, showing a very substantial "trade balance" in favor of this country. In tbe statement of assets It is shown that thc bank has Increased Its holdings of coin, bullion and Dominion notes from $30,416,666 In 1913 to $32,- 360,510 in 1914. eV"W -' ■■"•'-•:. ■.«'.'' i* also saw service In West Africa, Nigeria and East Africa.

Canadian banks and tbe Canadian banking system have passed with fly- Ing colors through a disturbance which shook the world ot finance to its' foundations. With the co-operation ot tbe Dominion government measures were taken which served to remove any danger of panic and made secure tho confidence of the public, upon -which, in the last analysis, the banking business is established. The annual statement of the Canadian Bank of Commerce which has just been Issued illustrates the sound principles noon which the banking system of this country la established, Millers have again Increased the price of [lour. Last summer's crop appears to have been chiefly of the self-rising kind. One hundred Ontario Chinamen want to go as cooks with the next Canadian contingent. They should not gaml'jle very heavily on their chances ot securing jobs this way. Apples are worth 25 cents each in Petrograd. The Cossacks, who early In the war were stated to consume large amounts of this fruit while on tha battle line, must have eaten up Russia's supply. The Germans have forbidden their soldiers to play football with the British Tommies during short truces along the firing lines. The kaiser must be afraid they might acquire the British spirit of good sportsmanship and refuse to carry out some of the orders to fire on non-combatant3, churches and so on. Italy evidently has had enough of Turkey's traditional policy of delay and evasion lh International disputes. The ultimatum which calls for com plete amends for tbe violation of the Italian consulate at Hodeida and for a reply by Sunday puts the situation up to the porte In such a way as to leave little loophope for argument. It Is one of the Ironies of fate which are pursuing the Prussian militarists that the policy of "attrition," which they hoped would reduce tbe British navy to such proportions that the kaiser's fleet might with some measure of safety engage It In battle, is being employed with real success by the allies against their troops lu Prance and Belgium. The Canadian Bank of Commerce staffs tn various parts of Canada have made a splendid response to calls for volunteers for the Dominion contingents. At this time oyer 300 of the employees of the bank are on active service. Tbe bank has made provision to pay their salaries (or six months at least and will keep their positions open for them.

Tills particular officer, addressing his men in reference to the task that lay before them, wound up with these words: 'And ln any . event, my friends, the Germans shoot badly.' Observing in the faces of certain of his men an expression which seemed to indicate that they doubted this declaration, the officer set himself to demonstrate the truth of the statement he had made. Coolly lighting a cigar, he hopped out on the trench and with his hands behind his back walked twice from one end of the parapet to the other, whilst bullets fell llko hall. Then he returned as coolly to his place ln the trench, took his cigar from his mouth, and, with the utmost nonchalance, remarked: 'Well, my boys, do you believe now that the Germane shoot badly?' tt will be admitted that age does not dim the fascination of the story." fry Dally Nawe Wants Ada for Result* There's Big Money In a Want Ad.

Halcyon Arrow Lakes WARFARE METHOD8 ORIGINATED WITH FRANCE In the warfare in Europe the leaders, schooled in modern methods of making war, have been taught the Importance of the decision-compelling spirit The long-drawn-out struggles which havo taken place have perhaps not shown that they were able to act up to this principle with the success anticipated. The origin of this principle -which controls In modern warfare Is seen by the military authority writing In the French. revolutionary wars. France was then at war against tho allied forces of England, Holland, Austria, Prussia, Spain and Sardinia. She had reorganized her armies and had Introduced thc division of armies into army corps. "This sub-division of forces was in timately connected," says the Brit annlca, "with the general method of making war adopted by the French. What astonished the allies most of all was the number and tbe velocity of the Republicans. These Improvised armies had in fact nothing to delay them. Tents were unprocurable for want of money, untransportable for want of tho enormous number of wagons that would be required, and also unnecessary, for tho discomfort that would havo caused wholesale desertion In professional armies was cheerfully borne by the men of 1793- 1794. Supplies for armies of then unheard-of size could not be carried In convoyB, and the French soon became familiar with 'living on the country.' "Thus 1793 saw the birth of the modern system of war—rapidity of movement, full development, of na tlonal strength, bivouacs and requisitions and force, ns against cautious maneuvering, small professional armies, tents and full rations and chicane. Tho first represented tiie decision- compelling spirit of riHklng little tn gain a little. Above all, the decision compelling spirit was reinforced, by tho presence of tho emissaries of tin committee of public safety, the 'repre sentntlves of mission' who practically controlled tho guillotine. There were civil officials with tho armies of the allies, too, but their chief function was not to Infuse desperate energy into the military operations, but to seo that tho troops did not maltreat civilians. Such were tho fundamental principles of the 'New French' method of warfare, from which the warfare of today descends in tho direct line." ENGLAND FOR EVER, MY LADS, WAS CRY Noble Spirit' That Routed Kaiser's Guards Is Described by Eyewitness, (Letter from Pte. S. A. Geary, R.A. M 0.) to his brother at Cotilsdon, Surrey.) I was near the trenches against which the kaiser sent his crack guards corps, the picked men of his army. Thero were no files on them, I can tell you. They fought like d) mons; they charged our trenches a number of times, but they could no- drive our chaps out. Several times they got right up lo the trenches hut were hurled back by tho bayonet, and It Is no exarn.'"- atlon to say thousands of them were killed. You must remember these were fresh troops, who were not tired and worn out like ours. But it did not matter to the boys of the old firm. One young officer did a magnificent bit of work. Nothing could stop him; he jumped out of his trench and yelled "Old England forever! Follow me, lads." With half a company h? dashed forward lor quite 50 yards, and he and his men simply performed miracles. As I watched them I was spellbound. They seemed to possess superhuman strength. Caked from head to feet In mud they presented the most fearful picture that could he imagined as they attacked like wild beasts. The bLr Germans were rushing on four to one, hut they could not beat our fellows back. Those who were no', killed or wounded got away to shelter and our boys returned to their trenches cheering and shouting. Five minutes later tho Germans came again and again, ibut not a single man got within 10 yards of tbe trenches. One Incident of Many. This was only one Incident In which a handful ot men showed the Germans what our "contemptible little army" can do. All along the line many such acts were performed, nn-1 the next day Sir Douglas Uaiag Issued an ordo- thanking the men for the splendid way in which they had resisted the German "Swanky guards," and said their fighting was one ot the finest records lu the annals of the ISrltlsh army. ....

NICKEL EXPORTS -HMD Dominion Government Checks Book* of New York Refiners and Enemy Will Get No Canadian Metal. The following official statement was Issued at Ottawa Dec. 26: Various criticisms have appeared In the press with regard to the export of nickel matte from Canada to tbe United States. The whole subject has been under careful consideration and investigation by the government' pi Canada since tbe commencement of the.war and they have been ln frequent communication with the British government as to the precautions which should be taken to prevent ex port to Germany. The books of the company in New York are inspected at short intervals by a thoroughly trained and experienced accountant who goes Into all exports most thoroughly and reports to the Canadian government. In addition to this by an arrangement between the company and his majesty's government certain control is exercised In London through ithe company's British representatives. Tbe company is not un der German control but is controlled altogether in the United States, where the vast majority of its stock is held. Prohibition Not Necessary. - there may be a few German shareholders, but tbe proportion Is insignificant and there is no German director. Steps which have been taken by the government of Canada have the entire approval and sanction of the British, government, who express themselves as entirely satisfied with tbe precautions that have been taken. It must be borne in mind that the nickel exported from Canada to the United States is used In a large number of industries in that country and prohibition of the export, except for the most urgent reasons, would be undesirable, as it would produce great business disturbance in a country whose sympathies are very strongly with tho cause of the allies. Moreover, tho government is informed that there is an output of nickel In Norway con trolled, by German Interests which could furnish a sufficient Bupply lor German requirements during the present) war.

Seepage 3-Where to Spend Your Dollar The engaging frankness, the simple sincerity of ailjiOBt all members of the British government from cabinet ministers down is perhaps more astonishing to the stronger than the almost.in- surnwunj»b|e'.'-'dMfioultl.es placed bc- tweon :goveri>mon|, members and the stranger,says a despatch from London, ..j" 'may. easily, tako a -month for an accredited, newspaper man finally to obtain'«n interview with even-.an Under-Secretary tout It doesn't take two minutes to discover that willingness t0 talk freely and honestly Is as spontaneous and ingenious, as is tin average .American politician's propen-. slty, to emulate the clam. -..This- goneral.-fact becomes apparont with overwhelming -forco when ono is present at a conversation between 11 former cabinet minister and ono of tlir score of war. correspondents who have been cooling .their heels at the war office for three; months, awaiting permission-to get to.the front. Correspondents Bottled up. Tho war correspondent, one of the most able and -best known figures ir the newspaper world, with a record 0' activo service in half a dozen wars, camo to London at tho outbreak of th<- war at. the invitation of tho British government—to represent sevoral nun dred newspapers of a neutral country Tho fact that out of dozens of capable men he obtained the post proves he was acceptable to tho wiar office. But three months ana moro havo gone by and as yet this war. correspondent like all the others, haa.no. reason ever to hope he will bo. allowed to accomplish what be como for. Finally, two weeks ago, despairing or seeing .actual fighting from behind the allied lines of'war, a correspondent mado a trip to Germany. From, the moment'of his arrival In that country he met with uncxnnrpled courtesy and ■found that his calling mado him persona grata, everywhere. In a week hr had soon everything so far as the German army wne^concerncd that an experienced war correspondent could wish to sec. And ho saw things from tho vantage .-point of a high powered luxurious! motor car ln which he sped from po|nt to point with the freedom of a staff officer. Returning, to, London the correspondent hoped to be ablo to.turn his experience In Germany to some use—Ir convincing ; the powers that be tha' their policy of caging newspaper mer Is all wrong.. To this end ho was systematically.approaching men of power in the government, nnd in the opposition and laying ibeforo them the sallem facts In the cose. 'The Germans, sir," he;declared "' ono point, ','aek for publicity. The help you got-the Information you seel In every way .possible. 'Thoy provide for a correspondent's creature com-, forts nnd provide him with unaake'" for assistance tn minutest detail. Fron- a personally conducted tour of an arm- corps to a toothbrush beside your CO' when you awake In a tent—there it nothing the.Oerman army falls to do for a newspaper man who wants tr 'do' the war." ... German Organization Praised. "I can quite believe you.'1 replied th statesman gravely. "In the matter of organization tho German army is at-" nearly perfect a thing I suppose nf tho world has ever seen." The admission was made simply sincerely. It was the utterance of >: man at the same time keenly appreciative and duly awnko to his own coun. try's Inferiority in this respect. But the correspondent was not to br swerved from his purpose by disarming guile. "I understand," replied the statesman, 'that it. is the French army officers who object to the presence of r war correspondent nt the front and 1 understand also that so long as th* fighting Is -being waged on French sol it Is the French an(| not tho Brltiar who have the -say tn these matters. "But so far. as I am concerned, anr" I think I may si].y so.far as vlrtuall' all tho members of the government and of tho opposition are concerned there Is much to deplore In this refusal to have trained journalists at th' front, To i*k a soldier. t° write fo- the public is. quite us absurd as taklm a JournnllSt^to do a soldier's work. Kitchener la Obdurate, "But tile fact remains moro thar three months of the greatest war lr tho world's history have, come am! gone and not one m»n able tp tell th* public about'It lias been allowed to d< so. If tho government and the opposition nre united in a wish to end th! -blindfolding the people, say .why doe; It continue?" Lord Kitchener," replied the statesman, "Is a very obstinate man."

They hay© submlttc' in some eases without grumbling U the edict—but they don't like It. J shall havo to see Lord. Kitchener. 1 shall do, my best, you may be. sure.1; Again he paused.

INCORPORATED 1670 INCORPORATED 1670 THE SERGEANT'S DREAM OF THE FIERY DRAGON (Frank Jlilllor in London Dally Mail.) TJiq sergeant snored. For somo hours thero 1'ad ouon u lull. Tho groat guns had. stopped to tako breath a ml tho cjLvo-dw-ellers in thq French trenches were exercising themselves In the arts ot civilization Some wero shaving, some were playinf cards, others wero mending their Socks. Tho sergeant waa snoring. By and by the toilets were finished and most of the men began to smolte Thfl sudden arrival cf Peace In thai lat« inferno was an event bf such rar and refreshing importance that nobod; had tho least desire e^m to talk. Juki to He, smoko and look heavenward. ■The sergeant went on siuirinw. Hi- midday meal had been bn'e of unwonted luxury. As ho himself s'Ud ho hue been living on superfluous tissufs fiit tt week, "and even a man of my resources can't go on like that forever." So ho lunched without stinting. • Mo 'hiajj slept about an hour when •the attention of the men was suddi'iil> drawn to him by his extraordinary ,bc- li'Ayior. Though fast asleep his side-- Woro shaking and his shoulders wobbling while Intermittent sibilant noise- escaped at intervals from his mouth AU In his sleep the sergeant was silently roaring with lu'ightcr. At las the storm burst. ' I "'Ha, ha, ha," ho rojred. 'Ho, ho. ho. He, he, 'he. Oh, la, la." . Then he woke up. The tears wei-i running down his face as he gn.«pe< and puffed like a seal in red trousers. ' "What'a the joke?'' demanded hi. comrades. "What are, you maki'U such a noiso about?*' "Oh, la, la," walled the fat man feebly. "If you had on'y EL'e''. it,*' aiu off ho went again. "Seen whnt?" "Tho dragon. A gre.it thing abou. »0 feet long, spt/utlng fire and chasing the Germans. Teeth lllto hnrns and a tail. . . . •." "t don't wonder l'°u sc,. things lilt that after a meal like that," said ar unsympathetic voice. "A man of jou; age ought to know better," ■"It isn't a bad idea though,*' m\{ the brilliant young mon. "What isn't?" demanded tho ser- geunt. "If you are trying tc mokq fur of mo again young man. ..." "I'm not," replied,tho brilliant one "I meant it, Suppose we made a dragon and put men underneath it and pushed it over to the Bosch's trench.' Tho sergeant sniffed, "You're very clever," he observed with sarcasm. HBufyou don't Imagine that gr(>wn uj. ipien aro going to run u,\vy from u dummy dragon do you?" |? "You did," was the retort uf the eleVor young trian. "When you have .jsat in. a..trqi\ch for a week at a time with nothing to do except dodge chunks of Iron, the prospect of a joke is aMuring. Anjiliow, the gay spirits of the company set to work to make a dragon. They retired with official per- 'misslon, to the shelter °f a small woui and set about the task uf linking th most awful dragon with tho mftana a' their disposal, A frame in the form of a cylinder 60 feet long was made about C ft. In heig-ht. It was covered with canvas from abandoned tents ana tho whole was mounted on r.ngh .wheels. The tail waa a triumph an. waa the moans of converting th; f.cep- tlcai sergeant. ♦I'll work the tail," he annojn?^3 timid .chuckles. Tho appendage was a marvoj m" affair of which the component partij wero a tent pole, several braiehos an i a covering of canvas. It was attached to tho -body of th© beast in such l manner as to give it freedom of act:or Jn all directions. It had a 'our handle Inside the hody by which it vhb to b1 i'wag'ged, The sergeant spont a joyful •lialf hour in practising life-like wav- ings, and covered 'Himself with glory toy his skill.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA GOOD FOR THIS PROVINCE Tho development of Alaska, whirli Is now occupying tho attention of the United States government, will benefit British Columbia very consldar- jjibly, experts say, states tbo Montreal Journal of Commerce. Indeed, the Pacific couBt province Is looking forward to tbe time when tho main Hue of tlio Grand Trunk Pa clflc will be linked up to thc system of Alaskan railways, about to be built by the United States, thus providing a new northern avenue of commerce for the production of thc Canadian farmer aud manufacturer, The Grand Tttink Pacific, with its through service to tbe coast, has already brought Alaska nearer to tho big traffic centres of tbo United States. Prom Prince Rupert the Alaskan boundary can bo reached by a steamship trip of 40 miles and tha traveler returning from tho land of the northern lights can be well on his way to Chicago over the new transcontinental route before he would reach Seattle by the older method uf traveling down tbe coast by steamship.

With a climate very Hko that of Alaska aud with onofourth Alaska's area Finland supports 1!.750.000 people; sbo has over •'l.l-Ofl.OOO head of live stock; Bbe produces annually some 300,000 tons oi grain and legumes. This development 's in part a result of good roads, canals and a railway system aggregating 2.500 miles of line. The new railways and wagon roads building in British Columbia and the Yukon Mil diminish Alaska's severe handicap In transportation matters, and as Alaska's fishing, mining and farming opportunities are much greater than thoso of Finland, British Columbia's northern neighbor has obviously a bright future. During 1016 Alaska will bo visited by thousands of tourists, Tor a side trip through its scenic wonders will be ono of tho features of the Grand Trunk Pacific route to tbe exposition at San Francisco aud Sun Diego.

CALGARY LOSES CASE FOR UNDERGROUND WIRING (By Dally News Leased Wire.) j OTTAWA, Jan. 7.—D'Arcy Scott, assistant chairman of the board of railway commissioners, has written a judgment, dealing with the- application of_ the j city of Calgary for an order compelling the Calgary Waterpower company to .provjde a six-foot .clearance from the outside of a rail to any Structure which might strike a man oh the side ladder of a car. After a bearing in Calgary on June, 22,. 1914, the board issued an order extending the time for compliance with the provisions, for side clearances un till Jan. I,4 1915, on condition that the work of removing the poles in question: "and placing the wires in underground conduits" be commenced wjtlj- ln 30 days'. '.. , At the sittings of the board in Calgary pn Nov. 26. last the, city called attention ,to the fact that,.while underground conduits were being constructed by the' city, the Calgary Power Company was not'-puttlng .its wires, In these conduits, although it .had an opportunity for doing so, but, was re- mqving the. wires, from the lanes upon which tho railway tracks were to; another street in the.,city of Galgary where there were no tracks of a street railway. While admitting that, the proylslon of the general order as to the clearance was. being complied with by the. power rumpany, the city contended that .the- company wa« not complying strictly , with the; order of July 18. The judgment says:., "I can quite, appreciate the desire of the city of Calgary to have as many of the existing, overhead. wires put underground, as,possible; but the object of. the board ln dealing with this question was to \ provide safety for trainmen riding on outside ladders of box-cars.- Since, that is being secured, by the removal of the poles that were within 6 ft. of the tracks, it is not the intention of the board on an application of this■ kind to insist j on the wires being placed. underground. The city of Calgary admitted that under a charter. from the city the power company had the right to move its wires as it is doing. If the city desires to get the power wires underground that is a matter which would have to be dealt with on its merits and could not be brought about by the present application. The views of the board being communicated to the parties Is all that will be neces sary; 'No order need Issue." 1*1 tKeae quiet times you cannot afford to ruh any risks.
