In Hearing the intimate details of Hie transaction the members, of llu.' commission narrowed their conferences today to a smaller circle of financiers whicli included only the most influential of the country's financial and Industrial factors. Among the men who arc known to hnve consulted with the commissioners are J. P. Morgan, O. F. Baker, J, .1. Hill- and F. J. Wade of St. Louis. In much the same strain as 'Mr. Hill had spoken for the great wheat growers of the northwest Mr. Wade, it became known, called tlte commission's attention lo the necessity of covering the shipments of cotton with any credit loan that might be negotiaod here.

As to the actual details of the loan thore was nu authoritative Information, but bankers were generally agreed as to tho reported life of the loan and the interest rate. SAYS NO MANITOBA COURT CAN TRY FORMER MINISTERS . (By Dally News Leased Wire.) ; WINNIPEG, Sept. lG.-Thc conten- ■Ion that no Jurisdiction whatever was froasessedby any court In Manitoba to ry the charges against sir Rodmond .lobliii, Dr. Montague, G. It. Coldwell .■nd J. Hr Howden. was advanced dur- }\g tho preliminary hearing this after- jjouii by E. .K. B.Johnston, chief of he defense counsel. Mr. -Johnston did not ask Magistralo \. Macdonald for a ruling ou tho joint. He said he wished to have his Lbrmal objection go on record so that- lite absence of an objection-could not inferred as acquiescence in the ourt's jurisdiction. The crdwrt coun- 1 rmude no comment on the stato- leiit. When tlie first crown witnosa, V. W. Iorwood, was called, Mr. Johnston latod that ho had an objection lo re- ord, so that the rights of the accused light be* presorved and not proju- Iced. Ho said the ministers were acting as Bprosentatlves of tho crown or uct- ig as agents of the legislative assem- \y, dealing with public money and in io public Interest. *! The cases, tie said, "could, not be •ied in this court or by any. othor rhntnal on civil court, but must bo ;ard in an entirely different manner. 0 courts in-.Maniloba have any juMs- Ction whatever to try a case of this nd. The method'of procedure should . totally different." Mr. Johnston did not intimate what sonslderefl ifce P-tow procedure jnjj ho wanted it made clear lhat he gave no assent whatever to the present method. It was after -i o'clock when t|io crown concluded the production of documents and opened the way to the call of thc witness. Mr. Horwood, who wns provincial architect of Manitoba from late In 11)11 until May of Uilu year, was on the stand for less than an hour and at 5 o'clock court adjourned until Friday morning so that the lawyers in attendance might attend the meetings of the Provincial Bar association. Consulted With Coldwell > Mr. Hurwoodwas examined by It. A. Bonnar, chief counsol for the crown, and told of tlio preparations made for the erection of the parliament buildings In so fur as lie was concerned with them. He had consulted with Mr, Coldwell, who was acting- minister of public works some tlnie before lenders wero dealt with, and he said that nt this meeting he objectod to piling and reinforced concrete and urged caissons and steel. A letter was produced dated July fl, 1913, from Horwood, ns provincial architect, to Coldwell. as acting public works minister, in which the writer submitted that caissons should be substituted for pilings in thc foundations and that reinforced concrete should bo changed to,steel except for floors.' MY.

Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of thc admiralty, admitted that provisions which had been considered sufficient at the beginning of the war, had to be materially developed. He said, however, that thc service was now being supplemented far more rapidly than was the danger is was organized to meet. There lias been a great strain, Mr. Balfour continued, on tlie supply of nlntl-aireraft guns. The development of an aei'iaj offensive had not been foreseen before this war, but tho naval ulr service was now of great dimension. "I cannot say,'' Mr. Balfour said, "when there will bo a discontinuance of tho attacks on London, but no one will suggest that such methods of terrorism are going in lhe slightest degree lo change thc attitude of lho British people." . Suggests System Wrong, Mr. Balfour frankly admitted thai ho was much surprised to discover when appointed first lord of the admiralty, that he was responsible for the aerial service, whicli had only ,-i remoto connection with naval work, if the government had set to work three or four years before the war with full knowledge of the rcuuireinenL<>f.aprltil-war- fare, he said, the defenses of London would undoubted ty have been much better oi'ganzied, but Ins hoped that the organ izulloii1 wus now in a fair way to become complete. The changes alread ymade had been great and all were in the way of dealing adequately with the new and great ■responsibility. No better assurance could be given lhe house that lhe defenses of London against air raids wore receiving the most careful attention than the appointment of Admiral Scott to take charge of them. In respect to tbe protection provided against zeppelins London has been unfavorably contrasted with Paris. Such a comparison was most unfair. Paris was a fortified city, in fact, a great fortress, whereas London was not a fortified city. None knew that better than the Germans, and, under tho rules of warfare, London should be Immune from altacks lo which it haa been subjected.' But he confidently hoped that the efforts of tlie admiralty would lead to a great diminution in the danger which ("Continued on Fa.ee> Twn.) 000000000000 00004* •w PRESSES AUSTRIA 0 ■fO ANSW-ER NOTE 0 (By Daily News Leaned Wire.) <% WASinN'OTOX, Sept. 113.— 0 Prcssuro upon thc Austrian -v government for an answer to 0 President Wilson's demand for 0 the recall of Dr. Dumba was or- 0 dcrcd today -by thc state depart- & ment. & >0 0 0 000 000 0'! >00< PRETORIAN, DAMAGED IN ST.

LONDON, Sept. 15.^-"Tlie Germans appear almost Lo have shot their last holt," said Karl Kitchener, secretary of war, today. "Their advance in Rus- sifu which at one time averaged fivo miles a day, now has diminished to less than a. mile a day." • Earl Kitchener's statement was made In a review of the war in the house of lords. "The response of the country to calls for recruits has been little short of marvelous," bo said, "but the problem how to Insure the field force being kept at full strength Is engaging our close attention and will, I hope, sbon receive a practical solution. I do not for one instant doubt that whatever sacrifice may prove necessary will bo undertaken cheerfully by our people." This and mention of tho Registration act was the only portion of Earl Kitchenot;'s speech which might be regarded as a reference to the possibility of conscription. Regarding milllary operations tho secretary said "for the last few mouths the front'hold by the allies in tlie west hits been practically unchanged, This does not mean that thero has been relaxation' of nctlve work on thc part of tiie forcos In tho field, for the continuous fighting line has called for tho display of incessant vigilance.

"In the history of this war few episodes stand out more prominently, moro erodituhly, than the muiderly mnnnor in which the Russiun forces, distributed along a line of 7S0 miles, have been handled while facing violent assaults from an enemy greatly superior in numbers and especially of guns and munitions.

SAYS NO COURT CAN TRY (Continued from Page One) Mr. Horwood stated that Mr. Coldwell had seen the letter and had hud it in his possession. He handed it back to the witness later and Horwood said Coldwell had instructed him to destroy it. Horwood found the letter among some other papers in June of this year, he added, with the word "destroy" written across it in what the witness Relieved to he his own handwriting. Mr. Horwood said that after it had been decided to change to caisson foundations lie had discussed the letter at a cabinet meeting at which, he remembered, Sir Rodmond Roblin and Mr. Coldwell were present. He afterward made the arrangements with Thomas Kelly as to prices for work on the caissons and since lie knew nothing of labor prices he accepted Mr. Kelly's advice as to the cost of excavation and of the iron rin^s used. At this stage the court adjourned. Mr. Horwood's examination will be ■continued Friday. ANGLICAN GENERAL SYNOD IN SESSION AT TORONTO (Hy Daily News Leased Wire.) TORONTO, Sept. lo.—The seventh session of the genera! Anglican synod of Canada, which assembles every four years and which was to have met in Vancouver last year but was postponed owing to the outbreak of war, opened here today with 119 clerical and till lay delegates representing dioceses from Prince Rupert to Fredericton. Archbishop Matheaon, primate of all Canada, presided. He* delivered a remarkable opening, afldraM In Trinity college. In ringing tones be expounded the law and the prophets to the leaders nnd people of Canada. "Nothing as usual," was his dictum and he made an un Usual and scathing attack upon tlie tendency toward corruption which developed, he -asserted, in the political ranks after a party had become accustomed to holding office. No party, he charged, seemed free of this influence, The question of revision of the prayer book wus discussed, a large number of petitions from all parts of the country being presented urging early uction. The primate declared that in the revision there should lie given a Canadian touch to the book to be used in Canada. The question will be further considered. Chancellor Davidson, Montreal, presented 62 memorials from the different dioceses in Canada begging that no change should lie made in tlie book of common prayer during tlie war. In the election of synod officers, Rev. Canon Powell, Toronto, wus appointed prolecutor president of the synod for the second time. Rev. L. N, Tucker. London, was elected deputy. ing them from rtac'.uiig any vital port-on of the empire. Defeats in Disguise, "To sum up we may fairly say that while the Germans have prevailed be cause of sheer weight of suns and at Immense cost to themselves in forcing back the Russian front, nothing but barren territory anil evacuated fortresses have been gained. Thus their strategy has-clearly failed and the victories they claim may only prove, as milltury history has so often demon strated, to l»l defeats in disguise." Dwelling on Italy's part In the war, Earl Kitchener said "The achievements of the Italian army have been truly remarkable and the manner In which heavy pieces were hauled into almost inaccessible positions on lofty mountain peaks and in spite of great difficulties avoked universal admiration. The Italian army now occupies strategic positions of first rate importance. The gallant con duct of the infantry has impressed upon the enemy the great military value of the Italian army of which the bold feats of Alpine troops and Ber sagller when scaling rugged mountain sides were marvelous samples of sue cpssful enterprise." Recounts Progress at Gallipoli "On the Gallipoli peninsula during operations in June several Turkish trenches were captured and our own l|nes appreciably advanced and our own lines appreciably advanced and our positions consolidated. "Considerable reinforcements having arrived, a surprise landing on a large scale nt Suvia bay was successfully ac comphshed on Aug. ti without any serious opposition, "At the same time an attack was launched by the Australian and New Zealand corps from the Anzac position and a strong offensive was delivered from Cape Helles in the direction of Krithia. In this latter action French troops played a prominent part and showed to high advantage their usual gallantry and fine fighting qualities-! "The attack from Anzac, after a series of hotly contested actions, was carried to the summit of Sara Bahr and Chunuk Bair, dominating positions in this area. The arrival of transports and the disembarkation of troops in Suvia buy was designed to enable troops to support this attack. Unfortunately, however, the advance from Suvia; bay wus not developed quickly enough and the movement forward was brought to a standstill after an advance of about 2% miles. Quiet Since Aug. 21 "The result was that the troops from Anzac were unable to retain their position on the crest of the hills and after being repeatedly counter-attacked they were ordered to withdraw to positions lower down. These positions have been effectively consolidated and now form, with the line occupied by the Suvlu bay forces, a connected front of more than 12 miles. "From the latter position a. further atinek'oii the Turkish entrenchment's was delivered on Aug. ^1 but after several hours' sharp fighting it was not found possible to gain the summit of the hills occupied by the enemy and the intervening space being unsuitable for defense the troops were withdrawn to their original positions. "Since then comparatively quiet h prevailed and much needed rest h been given to our troops. Turks More Humane Than Germans "In the course of these operations the gallantry and resourcefulness of the Australian and New Zealand troops frequently has formed the subject of praise In Gen. Hamilton's reports, '"It is not easy to appreciate at their full value the enormous difficulties which have attended the operations in the Dardanelles or the fine temper with which our troops have met them. "There is now abundant evidence of a process of demoralization having set in among the German-led, or rather German-driven, Turks, due. no doubt, to their extremely heavy losses und to the progressive failure -»f their resources. It is Only fair to acknowledge that, judged .from a humane point of view, the methods of warfare pursued by the Turks are vastly superior io those which have disgraced iheir German masters. "Throughout the co-opn-ation of the fleet has been intensely valuable and the concerted action between the'sister services has been in every -way In the highest degree satisfactory.*' Of the fighting in Mesopotamia Kitchener said reconnaissance had show" that the Euphrates was clear of Turks for a -distance of 60 miles, "Since this victory," he said, "there has been no further fighting on the Euphrates . Tigris or Karum river. Climatic conditions in this theatre of war have rendered the- operations extremely arduous. Recruiting Marvelous, But— "As I have informed your lordships, some of the new urm'es we have prepared and equipped for the war are already in the field and others will quickly follow them. The response tb the country's calls for recruits to form these armies has been little short of ■marvelous, ibut it must be borne 1n mhtd that the provision of -men to maintain tbe forces In the field de pends to a great dergee on a large supply of recruits. "The provision to keep up their strength during 1915 has caused us anxious thought, which has been accentuated and rendered more pressing by the recent falling off in the numbers coming forward to enlist, although every effort has been made to obtain our requirements under the present system. "I am sure that we all fully realize that the strength of the armies that we are sending out must bo [fully maintained to the end. To fulfil this /purpose we shall require a large addition to the numbers of recruits joining. Government Seeks Solution "The problem of how to supply these men and thus insure the field force being kept up to its full strength is engaging our close attention and will, I hope, soon to receive a practical solution. "The returns of the registration act, which will -shortly be available, will no doubt, give us the basis on which to calculate the resources of the coun men available for the army after providing for the necessary services of the country as well as those of our munition works. "Whatever decision may be arrived at in the full light of the facts before us must undoubted!" be founded on military requirements for the prosecution -of the war antl the protection of our shores, and will be the result of an Impartial Inquiry as to how we can most worthily fulfil our national obligations. "Although there has been a falling off in the numbers of recruits,-.* do not draw from this conclusion unfavorable signs as to the resolution and spirit of the country. O- the contrary, I think now, as I have always thought, that the manner in which all classes have responded the call of patriotism Is magnificent, and I do not for one instant doubt that whatever sacrifices may prova necessary to bring this gigantic war to a successful conclusion will be cheerfully undertaken by our people." BUILDlPAiT SERVICEFAST (Continued from Page One) might be anticipated from German airships. Nationalist Opposes Conscription. After Mr. Balfour had spoken the debate turned on conscription. John Dillon, Nationalist for East Mayo, vehemently denounced it. He said lhat Pitt had tricci it during the Napoleonic wars with success but it would be madness lo try the experiment again, especially before the country was thoroughly Informed upon the matter. He declared that for far less than Lord Northellffe had done Irishmen had been sent to jail; If it were not for Lord Northcliffe's title and power he would hav© been sent to jail long ago. George G. Money, Liberal, maintained that under the volunteer system the country would never have enough men und munitions to win the war. There wns great danger, he said, of underrating the economic resources of the enemy. Last month Germany had produced more pig iron than in any month since the war started, ln the fourteenth month of the war. he contended, Germany was stronger than at the beginning. Stephen Walsh, Laborile, said that 80 per cent of the members of the commons would support the volunteer system before abandoning it for conscription. There must be overwhelming and unassailable evidence, he declared, to support the innovation. No Peace Offer From Germany. J. C. Wedgewootl, Liberal, urged the government to appoint a strong war office commission to prepare a scheme for conscription, the necessity of which during the course of the war had been abundantly demonstrated. David M. Mason, Liberal, regarded the utter crushing of Germany as a military impossibility. He expressed disappointment that the premier's speech did not give.*'some hope of an honorable and early termination of the war. He thought the public was entitled to a- more definite declaration of the government policy than It had yet received! On motion for adjournment Mr. Mason raised the question concerning a report that Germany had made pence overtures, Lord Crewe repl led that Germany had made no peace proposals, tier could he imuglne any being made at the present time, which would be acceptable to the allies.

I (Canadian Associated Press Cable) LONDON, Sept. 15.—Sunday was spent by the Canadian journalists now at the front In a tour which began at 7 o'clock in the morning and ended shortly after midnight. Scores of miles were travelled by automobile, The program also involved a five-mile walk through a web of excavations which alt the world nowadays glibly talks about us a trench but which aire as unlike trenches built outside the war zone as they are unlike a marine parade grounds. Afterward the party visited the present battalions, lunched with the brigadier-general of the Canadian cavalry brigade. Interposed- with all this was the constant meeting with acquaintances among the rank and -file who were delighted to pass a few words with a Britisher not in khaki. It must, like the trenches themselves, become a bit monotonous to see nothing else for months. Everything Fine, Say Soldiers The day hus gone by for a general impression of things at the front. One returns from a visit to the firing line rather inclined to take as a matter of course the fact of the fellows being in excelled* spirits, esp6clally when it is a morning of brilliant sunshine such as yesterday morning, and things, to quote the brigadier who personally took the present deponent around, are "wonderfully quiet." You pass along a trench and some fellow puts his head out of a dugout and you ask him how things are with him, and lie answers: "Fine." Then you ask him where he came from and his reply produces a few commonplace expressions about Calgary, Montreal or the like. The truth is the fellows fell into trench life with the same amount of good spirit as the average mortal of good health and temper puts into affairs of ordinary life. It Is afterward you realize that the trench dweller stands days an dntghts on end hetween two straight walls of clay, crowned symmetrically on top with sandbags, and if he wants to look farther afield he must do so through an ingenious arrangement of mirrors that you begin to wonder how he can sing snatches of well known songs and tell you in such a matter of fact way that he is ■/fine." Prefer Trench to Billet Most of the chaps tell you that they prefer duty in the trenches to the time spent ln the rear. The trench does not pall upon you as a common thing, but German shells often play as much havoc with a billet as Sampson did with the temple. Everybody one met yesterday said bow wonderfully quiet the front -was, but In the course of that five-mile walk along the underground way the earth trembled and shook at the presence of our artillery when the later sent its compliments to the Germans and received he customary reply. "Mind the corner, sir," said one trench dweller to our guide. We minded, accordingly, bent double and distinctly heard something In the air which might have been four or five hundred feet away. Then we went on walking practically erect because we were proud of having actually been sniped at and also -because the trench was now 12 feet deep. Artillery Well Hidden After the trenches we went to where the Canadian artillry is hidden away, so that not even the airmen themselves can find them, but they were heard from in due course. At one point we came across quite a cluster of dugouts. Col. Rurland and Col. Marshall pressed us to stay for dinner, but we were due at brigade headquarters, so they brought out cigars and we had tea. Some distance off there was a barn badly knocked about. "They shell that place every afternoon. We have a sweep on it as to when the first shell will come," saldi one of the officers. "I have drawn 3 o'clock for today.- Come along and have a look at the pictures," he said. He led the wa toward a building and we -followed with alacrity. It was not then mid-day. The interior walls were lavishly decorated with really clever drawings, executed by artists serving with the English regiment whioh held that portion of the line previous to the arrival of he Canadians. The day was so crowded one cannot record. Tall he striking experiences was ut nightfall, when In company with a certain brigadier, the whole party went to a certain spot whence a broad view of the German front could be seen with "starllghters" going up the whole length of Uio line. Except for this the night was as quiet as any In an English village, and yet millions of men are looking hungrily upon each other for a lirtfe of 200 miles. SASKATOON HOSTILE TO WITHHOLDING PATRIOTIC FUND Local Executive Unanimously Opposes the Proposal to Form Reserve Fund SASKATOON, Sask., Sept. 15.—A crowded hall full of the wives of soldiers with u, sprinkling of men In uniform greeted T. M. Bee, provincial secretary of the provincial patriotic fund, when he came from Regina to meet the local executive, which met to reconsider the scheme of forming a reserve fund by withholding to the credit of each recipient a portion of her allowance. The outcome wns the unanimous wish of the local executive that a recommendation be made to the provincial organization that the new scheme be not put into effect before April 1, 1016. Mr. Bee urged that It be made clear that this request applied only to Saskatoon and that the rest of the province was satisfied with tho new arrangement. The attitude of the audience to the new regulations was hostile throughout and a large number of soldiers' wives voiced their opposition in language which was bitter. Several members of the local patriotic fund executive were equally decided in their opposition. FARMERS RAISE MORE CATTLE; LESS HOGS (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Sept. 15.—John Bright, federalo livestock commlslsoner, who hus returned from a visit to Western Cnnada fairs, states that the farmers are raising more cattle but less hogs than usuul.

BASEBALL PLAYERS OF Batsmen Step Out of Box When Ball Is Hit Foul—|s Useless Procedure, For a good many years you probably havo'wondered why a batsman always stops out of his box and carefully re-, mains out of it while basernnncrs return to their bases after a foul ball hns been batted, says an exchange. If the batsman forgets to Wlo so he is-almost snro to bo ordered by the manager or eoaclier to get out nf the box In such cases. This, applies of course, to fouls that are not caught. You have wondered If It was a super-stition, a habit or a tradition, for there Is no class of peoplo moro susceptible lo superstition or tradition than ball players. Inquiry failed to uncover any [particular jinx that would result if the batsman did not get out of his position and await tho return of a 'base runner to fhe bag from which ho started. Nor was it due to a mere habit because the players and managers appeared Imbued with tfte belief that It was necessary. Finally It lias de veloped that Ignorance of the playing rules Is usually responsible for this practise. Fans Have Mistaken Idea. Nlnety-nino out of every 100 aver- ago players will tell you if you ask them that if a, batsman stands in his box after hitting a.foul.ball the pitcher can deliver the sphere as soon as ho gets it again, liut it the ba-tsmon gets out of hi" box, _lbat stops play .until Uie rpnncr geUs.back.. They will tell you that if tiie batstnan remained In his position and the pitcher delivers tho bdll boforo thn runner touches his base after a foul, ."the runner will have to go baxjk anyway before ho can. advanco oh a base hit. This l*m't true, It, <\oc§)it moke a hit of difference wlictJior or. not, the 'batsman gets out of his box after a foul. It doesn't make a, bit of difference whether the pitcher waits for the runner to go back before delivering tiie ball and if the batsman should whale a pitched ball over lhe fonce whilo a base runner was on the way back to his base after a foul hit. It would not make a bit of dlliferenco oither. The reason ip Wftfe ^e ball is. automatically put out of play when a foul is made and not caught. It Is just tho samo ns if the umpire called "lime," for an 'injury" or -change of players. Nothing enn happen legally until the ball is put in play again by tho.um- pii'o. According to the rules the umpire Is expected to call "play" after every foul that is not caught. If you don't beliove It rend rule' 3d In any guide ol' rule hook. Umpires Often Forget. That the umpire doesn't call this after a. foul is due to habit. That formality has beon neglected so long that It has come to he understood thai play shall be suspended until the runner gets bad;. Legitimately the umplro is required to call'"piny" at-the start or a game or nn' inning before the pitcher delivers the ball; hut only a. few of them do It nowadays. Perhaps this disregard fnr a minor formality Is responsible for growth of, the misapprehension that the batsman must get out of pesitien jhftor-H |onl -'.to, keep the hall out of play. Rule 8*1 would bo found to bo deci-d- odly a live- ono if it should happen somo day that a. pitcher didn't wait for a runner to return to his base after a foul, and if the batsman cracked the ball for a home run. Tho. umpire would have to rule that'lho hit did not count as the ball was not in play. He would have to do that If ho on- forced the rulo literally. It would probably cause a riot and consequently tho wise umpire in such a case' would penalize the pitcher for not wailing by allowing tho hit to stand. A. Cf.

UNITY OF EMPIRE AMAZES OLD COUNTRY English Publicist Compares Rising of Dominions to Crusades in Middle Ages It was not in England alone Uiat the anniversary of our entrance Into the war was set aside as a day of re- dedication to our unfinished task, writes Sydney Brooks In the London Daily Mall. All through the empire similar ceremonies took place, similar meetings were held, the same high and unwavering spirit made, itself manifest. Wherever the British flag waves, In places the ordinary Englishman has barely heard of,, among peoples of whom he knows nothing, but one impulse, but. one resolve, found expression. From -Ifi0,00«tq0fl British subjects, well-nigh a quarter of the human nice, infinitely varied In speech and creed and color, In habits and geographical distribution and economic circumstances and pursuits, there breathed the singlo Intense vow to persist In this struggle till victory hns crowned, our united arms. The world has never seen anything liko It. The Crusades boro but the faintest resemblance to this spontaneous rallying of free communities, scnltered over the seven seas, on behalf of a cause that passionately appeals to their sense of right. The nation that could inspire such a spectacle on sUch a, scale may well believe that it has not lived iu vain. "Our House Stands Together" Tjie poet's prayer has been answered. "In the daya of Armageddon, at the last great fight of all' it has been proved that "Our house stands together and the pillars do not fall." The Germans always knew that at the touch of War tho British empire would rise. They were quite right; It has risen. But not precisely in the way they expected.

South Africa at, once assumed full responsibility for her own defence. Newfoundland engaged on tho spot to meet all tho local expenses of raising- 1,000 men for tho naval reserve. As for India, a veritable tidal wave of Ioj*alty and sacrifice swept from tho Himalayas to Cape Comorin- The rulers of tho native states, nearly 700 in all, offered tho king-emperor their personal services and their local resources.

It was the second visit to the front paid by "K." as every officer calls him. Fifty Spectators Sir John French appeared first, walking across tho parade ground to the reviewing station, where he welcomed Lord Kitchener and M. Millerand, who arrived In a big Hmouslne, Perhaps there were in all 50 spectators, mostly officers stationed in the neighborhood, of a. scene which had a thrill for all that no review in England watched by a big concourse, including gaily dressed womeA, ever had. Not a woman was present, not a civilian except the correspondents. A hright sun was shining. Five or six thousand feet overhead a, British plane was patrolling the air In a great circle throughout the ceremony. As the secretaries of war of Britain and Franco faced the Guards, their bayonets rose at present arms in gleaming rigid lines. Lord Kitchener's khaki made him hardly discernible against the wall of khaki as tho party walked the length of the front ranks in formal inspection. M. Millerand in Ids black suit, with short coat, and his .slouch traveling hat and trousers tucked Into a. pair -nf leggings, was a distinct moving black point. Wlien they had returned to tho reviewing station the hand struck up the Marseillaise, and while Lord Kitchener and Sir John and the other officers stood at the salute, that the civilian figure in this military scene stood uncovered. Then with the march past the band played the airs associated with the regiments whose companies were going by. One officer at the head of his veterans was conspicuous because tie saluted with his left hand. His right sleeve Was empty. -Guardsmen must bo tall; and some of the giants were taller than Lord Kitchener himself. A number of men in the ranks had fought at M-ahs and on the Alsne and survived, too, from the first and second battles of Ypres. Others had yet to s«i a battle. Every rifle, every hand tlujt held a. rifle, every foot as It was lifted seemed perfectly In line, "The Guards still know how to march past though they have been toMwar for a. year,'* said a staff officer who had been In the Guards. As the last company was going past another kind of music was heari AH tiie chauffeurs of the party were cranking up their cars, . It is well known that "K" wants no timo wasted between functions and Inspections when he is at the front. A volley of clicks ns limousine doors wero closed and the two war ministers who aro at the head of the armies of France and Britain were away to other scenes. Naturally they also Inspected portions of the nikir army—which the French peasants an-fl villagers all call tho "Keecheenaires." A SCENE THAT ONLY WAR CAN PRODUCE BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCI)}.—Officers who have been through the campaign since its start at Mons a, year ago speak of the recent review of the British troops at the front as'one of the most compelling scenes they ever have witnessed. The spot was the parade ground not many miles' from the trenches. Three battalions of Guards mado a wall of khaki which melted into the background of sward and hills. At a review in England they would have formed a most brilliant display in their goregotis pnrade uniforms, those famous crack regiments. Again and again their rimks had been thinned and refilled. Officers of the old regulnr army who had come ns spectators recognized familiar faces of the survivors among tho ofleers and saw many strange faces who had taken tbe place of those who had fallen. "But the Guards are still the Guards —Soots or Irish or Grenadiers or Coldstream," said ono of the officer.-;. Lord Kitchener and M.

The success of this j ■ great rearguard action has been rendered possible by the really splendid fighting qualities of the Russian soldier who, in many cases where actual conflict has taken place, has shown himself infinitely superior to his adversary. Tiie war secretary's summary of not results of the Austro-German" drive is most encouraging. He finds that the Teutons have gained nothing but the capture of fortifications, which nre no longer In themselves of much practical value as defenses. This gain has been accomplished at '"such an enormous sacrifice in men and munitions that Lord Kitchener considers himself justified In suggesting that the. futuro may show that tiie loss to the Teutons is greater than that to Russia. As to the future, he declares the Russian rmies to bo Intact antl capable of en- eloping and annihilating large invading armies. NELSON AND DISTRICT SHOULD DO MORE FOR FUND Nelson district is not doing its full duty in maintaining tbe patriotic fund for the dependents of soldiers who have volunteered for the front. Tt Is living, in this respect, to an unsatisfactory extent upon the generosity of other parts of Canada. In August an expenditure of $1640 was required to fulfil tlie obligations to wives and families of soldiers in this district. To meet that outlay Nelson contributed only $231 and while snme amounts were sent in to the central fund from districts adjacent to the city lhe total donations were far less than the amount of the call upon the central fund. If Nelson district does mil bear its own burden tbo central fund will continue to send in for dependents the amounts to which Ihey are entitled but the people of this district will not willingly permit obligations which are peculiarly their own to be met by lho other districts which contribute to the general fund. Thc duty of the people of Nelson and other points In this district is clear. They must raise more money for tlio patriotic fund and they must Inaugurate a campaign for that purpose at tbo earliest favorable moment.

Tho failure nf Lord Kitchener to make reference lo Grand Puke Nicholas in his tribute lo the Russian army is without significance.

American bankers would naturally; prefer to loan money to their own country and if there were serious danger of -war they might hesitate, the Journal thinks, to take upon their shoulders the flotation of a largo Franco-British issue which would lessen tbe resources available for American use. . Since the Wall Street organ made these observations the allies' financial mission has reached New York and despatches indicate that if the German scheme was as suggested it has failed.

In conversation with a friend, ho said; "Yes, he showed me how It was done; but did not show mc how to do ll." This anecdote might well stand prefatory to most of the interviews witli great men that, are handed out, with the announced intention of teaching readers how to make a million dollars, how to write a wonderful poem, or novel, or how otherwise to attract the attention of the public, It is particularly j*ecom mended to those who seek to draw from Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller Ihe secret of his success. In the present instanco it is applied to "Proceptes et ,luge- monls de Napoleon," hy Lieut.-Col. Ernest Picard of the French army, who hns been at considerable pains ,to scan the literature of Napoleon and select from It.every observation of tbo greatest military geniuses that bears upon the art nnd science of war, Anybody can read what Napoleon advises. There is nothing manifestly obscure about his principles. If only ono could read it and then proceed to discomfit nnd destroy the Germans, says the Toronto Mail- and Empire. Dug naturally turns to those pre- cepls thai nre collected hinder the bend, "How to Be a Grent Captain." Napoleon wns a great captain nnd he knew undoubtedly how one ought to ail. in order tn In- one. I-lo says In the first place that one. ought to make aggressive war, To offset this we have Hie opinion of Moltke, who, when complimented upon his success retorted; "All, yiiu have never seen me In retreat," anil modern -critics have the opinion that military genius shines ilearer in retreat. Napoleon recommends that the soldier who aspires to he a great captain should read and reread the maxims and campaigns of Alexander, Saesnr, Hannibal, Gusta- vus Adnlphus, Turenne, Eugeno and Frederick the Great. He fails lo men- lion Marlborough in tbis connection, 1 hough at another time he said that Marlborough was lho only English gen - eral ho would consider fit to cross a sword with. He insists that there is nothing vague or mysterious about the art 01' war. Its general principles aro unchanging, and most of them have tn do wilh the blunders of the enemy, Learned Nothing by Experience. Napoleon said it wns remarkable that though ho had fought 00 battles he knew no more when he finished than when he began. Caesar, too, fought his first battle like tbe last. ITo said that it was a great art in battles to change tbe line or operation during action. (TTe attributed to this •irincipie of which he claimed to be the discoverer, his victory at Marengo. Tho simplest maneuvers were, In his opinion, the best. He added: "Yet one must have common sense. T cannot understand how generals can make( mistakes; it is perhaps because they wish lo act by inspiration. Tho most difficult thing is to guess the plans of the enemy—to perceive the truth in all lhe conflicting reports that you receive. The rest only demands common sense. It Is like a fist fight. Tho moro one hits the better. It Is necessary, however, to study the map care- ifully." This reminds ono again of the great sculptor who was asked to explain his art. He replied that It was simplicity itself. He took a block of marble and chipped off what he did not require, A General Needs Mathematics. Ills observations about generals were to this effect: "Thc time for a commander in chief to work is at night. If he uselessly fatigues himself during the day he Is worn out at night. At Vittorla We were beaten because Joseph (Napoleon's brother) slept too much. If I had slept the night of Eckmuhl 1 could never have executed that wonderful maneuver which was the'finest I ever made, I multiplied myself by my activity. A general In chief ought hot to sleep.

I would rather try to record a brief Impression of a ' -gallant officer who fell in a glorious causei j It Is almost (lie irony of fate that he was cut off on tho eye of honors. ; He was gnetted to the rank of major 1 in the 72nd Seaforth -Highlanders of Canada; almost simultaneously he was appointed brigade signalling officer—Hie transit gloria mundi, Thursday to mo was a day full 0f Incidents. I had to return to . and .T consulted Major Markham as' to safety. lie said, and 1 remember his words: "Don't go in daylight- join tbe staff when Ihey come out at n'.ght." However, t went, and tbo last time I spoke to bim was about two hours before the tragic end. Ho left brigade headquarters for tlie firing line ahout four in tbe afternoon. There was* persistent shelling tbe whole of that day at and tlie road leading to battalion headquarters was closed. Consequently tho only access to tbe front line was through tlie communication trench. walked down the communication trench with him on my way to head- ■quurters.

Tho nature of my work brought me often into contact with Major Marl;- liam and if i were to sum up his character it would be in one w,inl-!m'i», kindness. There was nothing of false pride about Mm: lie was nevor over-con- scions •>' Ills stripes. No ono over approached him and was sent empty away. To the meanest private he was considerate and attentive, and among somo of us at least, whenever we wanted a special favor, it was a common saying: "oh, let us go to Markham." lEMs was a large charity, but although he would r.rien stretch a point when another officer would not, ho was always stern and unbending on those who in any way shirked their work. Among his own men—the Signal Section—lie wns beloved and lhat after all is tlie true test of an officer. Assiduous ns to the comfort, always giving encouragement, never bilking unless merited, ho went about his work, "both hands full ,-,f gifts," quietly and unostentatiously. Of the esteem lie was held In by ills brother officers, I am not In a position to speak—perhaps the crowd of officers around tbat open grave Is tlie best testimony. The body was conveyed on the Friday to the transport lines and there It lay all night. AVilh lhe best nialerial a. their hand tlie Pioneers prepared a. coffin, and ibis, covered with tho Union Jack, rested ia a motor ambulance. On Saturday tlie 21st or August at ill o'clock a start was made fnr the military cemelery at Armontlers, a distance of about five miles. Headed hy the band, wc walked in solemn procession, tho pipes playing ■Thn Flowers of the Fores The morning was cloudy hn» protmlsed rain. It begun with a, drizzle, but developed Inlo a. regular downpour. When close lo lhe cemetery the clouds lined, however, and the last rites were said Willi .lust a small glimmer of sunshine. A pause was mado at tlie entrance to lho cemetery and again the pipe band played a. lament. A firing party resting on arms reversed came to the "present" as lhe cortege passed onward. Then could bo beard faintly the opening words of tbe burial service, "I am Uie Resurrection and tho Life." At lbo side of the gra.ve stood General Alderson and Brigadier General Leckie, his chief. Major Peck took tho place of Col. J. Leckie, who wns ill, and gathered around stood staff officers, officers, non-commissioned officers and .men, each and all paying tribute and respect to the fallen comrade. Although less than a year old, this milllary cemetery is already much peopled. This, il seems to say, is the price you must pay for liberty. Endless rows upon rows of graves—so and so, aged 25—so and so, aged 2H— the flower of France and Britain, cut off in the days of strength. A spirit, of rebellion seems to get hold of you unit! you convince yourself that there must bo an Immortality as ageless as lhe Spartan heroes of Thermopylae. If 1 knew Major Markham aright, I think perhaps be would havo preferred to rest in some isolated spot, among the boys of tlie Canadian Scottish, who, like bim, gve their all. The burial service was conducted by Canon Scott, with reverence and dignity; be read tbe lessons as only a lover of poetry can read them, and' there were few who bad not a lump in their throats as be read tbo words of tho great, message to tho Corinth ians—that message of hope in perplexity—that message of assurance of something beyond—-"Then is brought to pnss the saying, 'Death is swallowed up In victory.'" Then comes the benediction. Over tbe grave three volleys were fired. Hetween each volley came tbo weird wail from Ilie pipes nf tlio "Point of War"—then "Lnchahar No More" and Ihe "Last Post. Wn marched away in silence, leaving behind all tbat was mortal in the sure and certain hope. There Is a. great deal iu pulling a tiling nicely. ,\ prisoner was being sentenced some lime ago.

Tho crosscut has been run for 300 feet and a drift for about 100 feet on a vein of concentrating ore, toward the big body exposed above. A new tunnel, No, 4, is to be driven below the present workings when thc compressor has boen installed. This will give a depth of 200 feet below No. 2 tunnel. About a carload of smelting ore has been taken out and is awaiting shipment.

NEW YORK, Sept. lfi.—Eliminating the war specialties and several of the low-priced railways, like Erie and Rock Island, today's market was dull to the verge of absolute stagnation. Even United States Steel railed to hold its -wonted leadership, falling behind Allls-Chalmers, Crucible Steel and a few other Industrials of far less prominence. Erie and Rock Island pursued contrary courses, the former showing Increased strength on reported further accumulation of the preferred shares, while the latter became heavy on news that the federal court had ordered tbat suits for restitution he Instituted against seme of the former and present memhors of the board. Minneapolis & St. Louis issues declined abruptly later, the common declining 'I to 8, the preferred fl to 24" and the refunding 4s 4 to 14, Their fall was associated with tho serious illness of the company's president. Investment, railways moved narrowly. Fluctuations rarely ex-opodpd minor fractions until sthe final hour, when Heading fell to 14!*%, its lowest tpio- tation of tho day, and other standard- stocks denoted recurrent pressure. Shares of the Long Island railroad, a. Pennsylvania, subsidiary, were prominent for their strength, advancing fi lo in. Washington May Block Loan New high records for the war shares were once more in order, even though their further advanco was without favorable effect elsewhere. Bethlehem Steel roso point to 350,; Crucible Steel IV. to %%, and United;! States Alcohol 1 tn 4*1% Total sales of stocks amounted to 522,000 shares. International credits and the status of affairs wlh Germany enered into the calculations of tho trading element and doubtless were responsible for the dullness and superficial character of the day's operations. Rumors to the effect that Washington might enter an objection to the proposed Anglo-French loan caused renewed discussion of this problem. Exchange in London was dull but steady with fewer offerings on continental bills. In fact, exchange markets may bo said to be marking time, pending a definite outcome of current negotiations. Trading in bonds lacked especial feature, aside from tho steady tone. Total sales, par value, were $2,4 15,000. United States bonds wero unchanged on call. WHEAT breaks ON HEDGING SALES Market Closes Steady But Up to More Than One Point Lower. Receipts Larger (By Dally News Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Sept. IB.—Heavy hedging sales In the northwest and lower quotations from Liverpool caused a break today In wheat prices here. The market although steady at' the close; -was ?j to y. at 1% lower, with September at l.OO1^ and December at 94 at 94% Corn finished % off to a shade advance; oats % to y down and provisions varying from 2% decline to a like upturn. Reports of much increased pressure from the spring crop movement, especially at the Minneapolis terminal, formed the chief handicap against the bulls in wheat. The effect of lower cables, however, had precedence In the matter of time and was accompanied by advices that British buyers seemed to have adopted a waiting attitude and wore apparently relying on greatly enlarged1 receipts. Announcement was mado that the official estimate of the Canadian yield was nearly twice as large as last year's mini. Only a slight recovery from tho bottom prices of tho day took place In wheat. The highest prices of tho season wero obtained just after the opening and wore due to unwelcome rains. Export business amounting to 400,000 bushels, principally Manitoba, did not appear to bo In, sufficient volume to give any noticeable encouragement to (ho bulls. Light frosts in the northern part of tho corn holt deterred1'specula tors from selling corn freely. The weakness of wheat, however, acted throughout the session as a weight on prices. The oats market was dominated almost wholly hy tho changes In the value of corn. A fair shipping demand tended somewhat to have a steadying effect. Selling by packers largely overcame a rather decided advanco in provisions. Investment buying, active cash inquiry and tho fact (hat hog prices were nt a new low level for the year were reasons for the temporary upturn. * -J, <8> <5> <«><$> (jxixi,* * * ^ ••> METALS !> -j> s. * * .$> -i> 4, <;, *, 4> 4 METAL PRICES XEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Lead —At London £22 ISs (Id: at St. Louis 4.3H; at Now York 4.45; at Montreal 5.r,2.

To do this, just «et about four ounces of plain, common liquid ai-von froni any drug store (this Is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.' By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff wlll be g(m(, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find nil Itching and ■digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and hoW, and look and feel a hundred times bett&»-. ARABIC SURVIVOR TELlSf DISASTER Letter from Mite G. A. Came—Wa* on Her Way to Nelson When Ship Was Torpedoed Mrs. J. T. Bealby of Nelson haa received a letter from Miss Gladys A. Carne, who was a passenger on the Arabic which was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on Aug. 19. Miss Came was on her way to Nelson to visit Mr. and Mrs. Bealby at their ranch. The letter reads as follows: "At breakfast on Thursday, Aug. 19, we talked so long that the doctor reproached us for making him late at his dispensary, as he was due there at 9:30 o'clock. I went up on deck to the bow with Mr. Ingram and we saw in the distance a ship sinking. We noticed that the Arabic was going a zig-zag course, and remarked that the sinking ship would make a splendid hiding place for a submarine, when I saw a torpedo coming at a tremendous pace towards us. 'There's the torpedo,' I said, and we leaned over the rail to see if it would hit us or not and we heard a tremendous, dull road toward the stern and knew that we were doomed. We both ran to the com- panionway, a sailor gave me a lifebelt as I ran, and a stewardess tied it on. I then helped a couple of children into theirs, Noticing what a lot of children were in the boat and knowing that we were at least 60 miles from land, T ran back to my cabin and got my fur coat. As I arrived on deck again, I found the boat just being lowered away. Two men pitched me into ft nnd flung the coat after me. Saved the Bulldogs "Then two bulldogs were flung down Into the boat from above. These dogs belonged to the son of Mrs. Bruglere, one of the two Americans drowned. The son was saved. The two men swung tiie boat away down and jump* ed Into the water and we pulled them into the boat. The boat was clear of the davits, but the stern was still hooked to the Arabic and we were dashed against the Hide of it with every wave and 1 thought we should be smashed up. A plucky lad climbed the davit rope and cut it and so set us free. He dropped into the sea and we picked him up. We were then so close to the liner that the bow of the small boat where I was lying with two women was covered with the rush of the water of the Arabic. The weight of water took us right under and I felt drowning. Gratings and chains fell down on us. I was badly bruised. One of the women had her head cut open, the other had her jaw smashed. My hat was torn off my head. Thinking that something would happen like this, I had locked my arm round tho lowered mast which was fixed along the centre of lhe boat and so was not washed overboard. While under water, 1 felt somothing slipping past me and grabbed it. When we came up I found it was a woman. Boats Drawn Into Vortex "By this time all that could be seen of the Arabic was the boat turnod up like the steeple of a church and in a few seconds she went down, leaving a great hole in the ocean. Two boats were drawn down into tills and smashed and we saw people struggling in the water, but by a miracle we seemed to hang just on the edge of this vortex and did not go over. There was great confusion on our boat for some time, as we were nearly all women and children, there being only about half a dozen men. The babies and children were all crying. The women who had been hurt were shrieking. We had a barber, a steward, a stoker, a seaman and two passengers and they kept shouting contradictory orders and for some time it was terrible. Then we got the oars out and began to get some headway on the boat, for we were swaying about in the trough of the waves. The women and children began to get very sea sick and at last I became ill, too. The great difficulty was to avoid wreckage, which seemed to be trying its hardest to stove our sides in. "We picked up several people and then came upon the captain, who had gone down in the Arabic and had managed to save himself on a raft. He had picked up several seamen too. All this time I had been helping to pull an oar, with the barber. T don't suppose 1 helped much, but it kept me warm, for we had picked up a poor man who looked to be dying and my coat revived him and put some warmth into him. I was thankful to have the captain in our boat. He was fearfully ex hausted and his leg was injured and he lay for a short time in capable of doing anything, nnd then he recovered and began to give orders and we all felt much better. I own I was frightened until we got him in. He took the tiller, the mast was put up and the sail fixed, and we began to make some progress. We were sailing for three hours and I was bitterly cold, for I was wet to the skin and only had a thin white cotton frock on. We had sent out S.O.S. signals for the other boat which was sunk. Rescued by Minesweepers "Our wireless had been destroyed by the torpedo, so when two minesweepers came racing up, besides the Duns- ley's crew, they found alt the Arabic people who had been wrecked, too. I was thankful to get on to the minesweeper. The submarine was still about, so one of the boats circled round us while the other picked us up, and then when she had taken up about five boat loads, she kept watch while the other boat took up survivors. Once on board, we were all given strong brandy and water, which we badly needed. The people who were exhausted and collapsed were wrapped tn blankets and put to bed. I nursed a baby whose mother had fainted after being splendidly plucky. She was thrown into the water from one of the smashed boats, found a raft and clung to it until she and the baby were rescued. After that an officer took me to the boiler room, where I found Mr. Dennehy, who had been thrown out. of his boat when it broke up and bad bruised his head badly, coming up under an upturned boat. As be had been in the water nbout half an hour before being rescued, he was frightfully cold, ^'e steamed as if in a Turkish bath and stayed there about two hours until wo were practically dry. Then T sat on a case of shells and had quite a nice time several of the men rescued from the Arabic. "About 6 o'clock we were landed at Queenstown. We were all marched up between two rows of soldiers to keep the people back and we were most deplorable objects. Mr. Dennehy had no coat and was in dancing shoes, his head badly cut. My white sponge cloth frock was black from being in the boiler room, my hair was down, for all my hairpins were lost when my hat was washed off. My skirt from being so soaking wet had become a young train at the back, my silk stockings were a sight to behold and my white shoes were black. "Mr .Dennehy and I with several other people were left at a small beer house, as the Queen's hotel was full up with people who had arriver earlier and after a very much needed wash we had a supper of ham, with the maid servant constantly chipping in with "Glory be to God ye're saved." Then we went out to try and buy some clothing, combs, toothbrushes, etc. 1 got an awful coarse serge skirt, 4s. ll%d. and the buttons promptly came off directly it was on. I also got shoes. Mr. Dennehy got a suit which was too small for him and we both looked sketches and as we were rather done up we went to the Queen's and had some champagne. We met Capt. Finch there and he said it did him good to see my smiling face. I also met the Irish doctor, who told me if we had not been so late at breakfast over the home rule discussion at breakfast, he would have been in his dispensary, and this was where the torpedo struck the Arabic and he would have been blown to pieces. Snapshotters Busy "The next morning, after a ham breakfast, we were so worried with reporters and snapshotters and had such awiul thirsts, l suppose from having swallowed so much sea water the day before and eaten ham for two meals, so Dr. D. bought a big melon and nectarines and peaches and we got on a jaunting car and went for a ride out of the town arnong the hills and ate the fruit. We could not face another ham meal, so we lunched at the Queen's and at 3 p.m. got Into the special train for Dublin. It was quite a comfortable journey. After coffee and sandwiches at Dublin we got into the Irish mail boat, but 1 could not go below into tho cabin, for I felt there might bo submarines about ,so I sat on the upper deck near a floating raft with Mr. Dennehy and felt much safer. All lights were out and it is not a pleasant ex pertence crossing under such conditions. But near that raft we had a sporting chance of life whatever happened. We reached Holyhead at 3 a.m. very tired and weary and tumbled into the train. We tried to sleep but it was a failure. It was a crowded train and my various bruises were very painful. Every time I dozed off I wake with a start, thought I was drowning. I was thankful to reach Buston and homo, Will Attempt Crossing Again "We were bombardedvivith reporters again and mother said she saw five men snapshotting me at one moment, so no wonder my photo is in all the Illustrated papers. "I was lucky to escape with a few injuries, for am only severely bruised and stiff, but the feeling of drowning whon we were fn the small boat and our bow end was submerged, I shall never forget. "I hope to cross the Atlantic when I have got some clothes ready, for all I possess is at the bottom of the sea.

My NIGHT PATROLLING IN WEST EXCITING WORK Night patrolling hetween trenches is an important feature in the west, says a press correspondent. Theso expedients, which are, of course, always made under cover of darkness, are attended with considerable danger and risk, but the men onjoy the excitement, and thore are always volunteers who wish to go out and re- connoiter certain suspicious points alontf the enemy's trench. One little party had an exciting adventure a few nights ago. A party of five men, which included a former Oxford professor, set out shortly before midnight to explore a certain hedge running across a field close to a German trench, The hedge, it was thought, might conceal machine guns or defensive works. Making thoir way with the utmost caution across tho rough ground separating the two trenches, expecting their presence to bo revealed at any moment by a flare from the enemy's trench tbe llttlo band at-last reached the hedge. Suddenly a cough was heard from the other side, and the five immediately flung themselves flat upon the ground and waited. An- •other cough came in a few minutes, and then a German head was seen through the twigs without a moment's hesitation the officer with the party shot the man dead on he spot with his revolver, and then, regardless of the numbers of the enemy that might he lying behind tlie shelter of the hedge, changed through It closely followed by his privates. Six Germans wero, discovered. Three were shot without trouble, while the other three surren dered. One, while being taken back to our lines treacherously attempted to snatch the revolver from the hand; of the officer. The latter, however, managed to foil him, and pushing hi weapon into the German's chest, he pulled the trigger. The magazine had unfortunately been emptied in the original melee and nnlya. harmless click resulted. A desperate struggle ensued, the two wrestling and tumbling in the darkness. Finally the officer succeeded in getting the better of his adversary, and knocked him senseless with the butt end of his revolver. By this time, of course, the enemy had become aware of the struggle going on, and turned on a machine gun in the direction of the noise, regardless as to whether they hit their own mon or not. In tlie face of the fire the officer had to leave his captive, and crawled back to his own trench. The following night a party from another battalion which hnd refused to believe the story of thn midnight struggle, crawled out to the spot to obtain proof, and there found various trophies in the shape of caps, rifles, etc. These were safely brought back. In the morning a heated discussion arose between the two battalions as to the ownership of the articles. One claimed them as the spoils of war; the other asserted its right from tlio point of view of treasure trove. Tlio point talking io the officers of the boat nnd| jS aun at issue.

I felt just like that for some time, as though I couldn't hear it, but I think a good many feel like that and I am sure It Is a mistake we aro making. T read a very fine article by a man a few months ago. Ho was no use to fight; he had no money; lie couldn't do anything at all; he was a poor clerk and just had to grind at his job. Suddenly he knew (inside somehow) that he could help hy doing -his own work extra well—every little thing that came along, no shirking of the least tiny thing, and afterwards lie felt that if he failed ever so little that he had contributed to the defeat of the men at the front. If he stood firm he had helped them to stand firm, and it seems to me that he was entirely right, that one can't do anything witli sword or rifle, or even with bandages, but inside one can help, and give the best kind of help, too. We know that there is such a thing as an inside oneness, that people can catch cowardice and bravery, etc., from each other, and that we can help or hinder people just by our attitude without doing or saying a word, and I am somehow quite sure that we poor little useless women, 16,000 miles away and eating our hearts out with longing, can give the very best kind of help. And It is righting of JL pretty touch kind to keep calm and serene and confident and strong. I am suro this isn't just an ordinary war with guns and cannon; It is might against right, evil against good, ad don't you think that every man in all the armies who is fighting from a sense of duty and who is doing his best in every way Is n the right side, and that the cowards and stackers and careless and cruel on whichever side are on tlio side of the wrong? The material fighting seems just the part that shows. I don't think the shots A fires are half so important in the final winning us the patience and good temper and endurance that | he is showing, it is hard to explain,1 even to one's self, and almost impossible to any one else, but I have a very clear idea in my own mind. If we could be any use thero 1 hello ve we Would be there, but I am sure, we have a part to play here. . . . One feels so proud of them all and so proud to be one of them. The big things .seem on top, and it's good to be living In tin times when there is something real to do. You wonder how I can bear the thought of A there. It's pretty hard sometimes, and of course he is never out of our thoughts for ono moment, but somehow, with all the horrible danger It is bettor for hi in than the life he was living beforo. He went from a sense of duty and he seems to be doing his duty thoroughly. Do you know the letters we used to have from him had a grumble in each one. Since he joined just a year ago (Aug. tith, there has not been one. He -has had very rough times, hard work, uncongenial' companions, but ho has laughed at It all and has behaved liko a man, and his character has grown more in the lust year that It would have in fifty other kind of years, and even if we never soo liim again, we shall know that he has lived as he never could have In the old kind of life. I don't pity any of those men, not those who are killed or the horribly disabled. I am sure they know it Is worth whilo. Wo don't pity miners who go down into a mine to rescue their mates, even if they are killed doing it, and most of those boys have gone into the war In exactly the same spirit. So let us cheer up and do our bit witli the rest. Now I am going to stop and go to bed. I believe this is a kind of sermony letter, but it helps one to say tilings to some one else, don't you think? Very many thanks again, -dear, fur you sympathy, which does help." Now there is no adequate compliment that can be passed upon such a letter as that, but it may serve to present a view of war that is taken by one who has more at stake than kings and emperors, and certainly more at stake than those who clamor their hysterias in our ears and to whom tlie agonies of suspense and bereavement are mere profitable theories. They would do well to be silenc before an experience that has brought heroism instead o£ either despair or cowardice. Thore will be no disposition anywhere to minimize the horrors of war. They are hideous, monstrous, infernal. But there is another side to the picture. Today in Europe there are some twenty millions of men who are giving their lives without tho faintest hope of reward or profit, without the dimmest illusion of personal recompense or advantage. That most of them are conscripts, matters not at all, since they arc witling and enthusiastic conscripts. It is a tragical fact that nothing but war can produce such a volume of self- forgetfulness and self-surrender, but it is none tlio loss magnificent. Indeed it Is so magnificent us to shine with a tight more enduring than the light of blazing towns or the glare from great guns. And that unnumbered women In Europe should ask nothing of these men but that they do their duty, that they should be willing to face the greater agony of suspense, indeed proud to face it as their share of the sacrifice. Is a fact so sublime us to mitigate the force of the cataclysm and oven to persuade us that "all's well with the world."-— San Francisco Argonaut.
