The\nGermans don't go in much for humor.\nNeither do the Scotch.\"\nThe subject of trench newspapers\ncame up.\n\"Yes, there have been a few,\" Captain Beith agreed, 'but they arc not as\nfrequent as you might suppose. The\nprincipal reason is the scarcity of paper. Then, too, as soon as you get a\npaper started and >iave a good editor\nto manage it he gets \"done in' or transferred to another front and you have\nto begin all over again. An editor does\nnot last long at tho front. In a few\nmonths If an officer hasn't been killed,\nwounded or captured, he has. been\ntransferred elsewhere, as I have said.\nThere was a case, I remember, of one\nof the older divisions, which held\nYpres\u2014the Tommies call it 'Wipers,'\nyou know, and now everybody, high or\nlow, does the same\u2014early in the war\nand established a rattling good paper;\nthey called it the Wipers Times. But\nafter a time they were transferred to\nNeuve Eglise and they changed the\nname to the New Church Times. Last\nI heard of them they were on the\nSomme and the paper bad become the\nSomme Times. \\ shouldn't care to\nspeculate on how often the editorial\nstaff had  been   renewed,\n\"A paper the Tommies are very fond\nof is one called Blighty, which is published In London specially for them. It\nconsists of authorized excerpts from\ncurrent humorous publications and it\nis circulated at all regimental headquarters. The Canadians hove a good\nsheet. I have seen several copies, and\nnow and then a short lived paper\nsprings up elsewhere. But trench papers arc much more numerous among\nthe French than with us. The French\nhave so much better facilities for getting  them  printed.\"\n\"That word 'Blighty,' you have just\nused is one of the favorite phrases in\ntho new soldier argot, isn't It?\" was\nsuggested.\n\"Yee, but I should hardly say it originated in France,\" replied Captain\nBelth. They say it comes from a Hindustani word, 'bhllati,' which means\nEngland, and which our troops picked\nup in India and brought to France with\nthem. You know the slang of the old\narmy consisted mostly of words and\nphrases gathered in India where about\nhalf the troops were stationed all the\ntime. But there is no doubt that\n'Blighty' has come to have a wide cir\nculation, much larger with--- civilians\nback home than at the front even, ft\nstands for any number of things. For\ninstance, a 'bllghty wound,' now Is a\nsevere wound that involves being sent\nhome to recover, and in the same way\na 'couchy wound,1 means a comfortable\nwound, one that means a short layoff\nin hospital, with good living and no\nwork and no inconvenience to speak of.\nCouchy is one of the words the Tdm-\nmies have coined in France.

Canada Steamships common\nand Russell Motors performed best,\nand while the news was favorable the\nfact that reactions developed In New\nYflrk toward tho close ot the day,' It\nwtiri plain' that the fimuicial .community is awaiting the taking of full measures before going further. Steamships led on the local board from a\nstandpoint of activity, going up to 40Yi\nin the morning nnd easing off to 39H\nin the tight afternoon trading, closing\nthere for a .gain of one-eighth from\nMonday with the turnover for the day\nreaching a total of 1400 shares.\nThe Russell Motor stocks were also\nresponsible for. tlio stronger feeling\nwith the common rising to 92 and closing Ya below the high point for an advance of 1% from yesterday, with the\npreferred 2 higher at 122.

In the\nsubsequent reaction at New York,\nhowever, tho market flattened quickly\nand trading in the afternoon relapsed\ninto familiar dullness, with a drooping\ntendency in prices, early advances in\nsome cases being lost. Thus, in the\nsteel Stocks Dominion Iron finished\n65% bid, or down >4; Steel of Canada\n66 bid, or lower by 1% and Scotia Steel\nbid or down 1 point. Actual net\ncha'nges varied from this mostly because of the inactivity of the after,\nnodh when stocks were offered down.\nIn tho first rise Dominion Iron sold\nat 66, or up %, but was offered at 65U\natf'tne end of tho day. Steel of Canada was strong at 68 but fell back to\n66% asked at the close.\nThe outstanding feature of strength\nin the market was Canadian Locomotive, whose recent steadiness around\n55 was followed today by a sharp advance of 5% points to 60%.\nDospite the reactionary tendency of\nthe rest of the market, the advance\nheld to the close. Another feature of\nstrength was Paton Manufacturing,\nono of the least active stocks in the\nlist. It sold at a new high level of 130\nor 2T% points above the last reported\nsale.\nStocks that were variably firm to\nstrong through the day and wore credited with net gains at the close Included Brazilian, Brompton, Car, Cement,\nGeneral Electric, Steamship common,\nMaple Leaf, Riordon and Spanish\nRiver.

In discussing* the subject, this was not exactly tiie way in which Inn Hay, author of \"Tho First Hundred Thousand\"\u2014otherwise Capt. Ian Hay Belth,\nArgyll and Sutherland Highlanders, at\npresent specially detailed to the foreign office\u2014 put it. But it was tlio general impression you gathered from his\ncarefully guarded remarks. Humor in\n'the trenches, utf'Cnptain Belth remarked, (.^distinguished primarily by a certain crude neatness. II is wholly lacking in subtlety and It is brutally direct. It'reached the highest development in the hands of the Cockney\nTommies who have a distinctly lurid\nperception of the humorous. The\nScots nre far more ponderous in their\nquips, and the Germans\u2014well the best\nillustration Captain Hay could give\nof the German Idea, was the poster set\nup by some of them In a trench opposite the line held by the 16th -Irish\ndivision during the outbreak In Dublin last Easter week. The poster read:\nIRISCHMANS\n,THE ENGLISHMANS ARE\nSHOOTING YOUR\nWIVES AND CHILDREN\nIN\nTHE STREETS.\nThe Irish cogitated over this poster\nthroughout the day, and finally elected\nto make no written response. But after\nnightfall a party \"went over,\" cleaned\nout the opposite trench and brought\nback a few German prisoners. Captain\nBeith considered that a first rate demonstration of German nnd Irish humor in the trenches.\n\"The favorite diversion of the Tommies, whenever tho trenches nre close\ntogether,\" Captain Beith continued, \"is\nPROTECT YOUR WAGES\nAND FAMILY\nBy taking out a Sickness and Accident policy.

We quote from\none part of the article ns having a\n.mV   '   i  ,r    \u25a0 ...\nspecial application here: \"Another\n.deep-rooted fallacy is that the editor\nIs In perpetual want of 'things to fill\nup.' I suppose the popular picture of\nah editor is of a distracted man who\ncomes to the office about seven in\nthe evening without an idea as to how\nhis columns are to be filled next\nmorning, trusting that some kindly\nprovidence will come along during the\nEvening with a sufficient supply of\nbattles and tragedies and law cases\nto enable the paper to come out.

Two large barges so\nbuilt tvure recently launched at Moss,\na small town near Chrlstianin. It Is\nclaimed that the hull will resist damage better than steel, Iron or wood,\nand will consequently be safer. Tho\nfirst practical application of the idea\nof such \"stone ships\" dates only a\nfew months hack, when the first barge\nconstructed of this material was\nlaunched. It at once attracted much\nattention at Scandinavia, and when a\nsecond barge of some hundred tons\nwas launched al Moss the Swedish\nminister of marine, Daniel Uoslrom.\nwho Is himself a largo shipowner, was\npresent at the ceremony accompanied\nby experts who closely examined the\nnew type of vessel in all its details.\nSo satisfied was Mr, nostrum with the\nresult of the investigation that he immediately ordered a lighter with several tons displacement. A similar\n\"stone ship,\" a lighter for the mining\ncompany of Sydvaranger in Norway,\nIs now to he built for the oversea\ntransport of iron, ore and coal. This\nvessel, having a displacement of 3000\ntons, is to be ready before Christmas.\nNlcolay Fougner, the inventor, maintaining that ships of any size can he\nbuilt of concrete with steel ribs. A\nSwedish expert on the transport, service has proposed that the new Swedish ferryboats which are to be built\nfor service between Sweden and Kng-\nland across the North sea, should be\nconstructed of the new material. Besides ordinary cargo these boats could\ncarry entire railway trains across the\nsea, having a displacement of between\n15.000 and 20,000 tons.\nWHAT THE OLD LAND HAS DONE\nIN THE WAR\nThe Wall Streot Journal prints the\nfollowing striking tribute to what\nGreat Britain has accomplished in the\nwar:\n. .All the seven wonders of the world\nfade on history's page compared with\nthe spectacle Great Britain presents\ntoday. A commercial nation of less\nthan 50,000,000 people suddenly sum\ntnoned to arms where no arms existed\n'and In loss than 30, months she has\n* mWW army, than history ever before\nrecorded and a war machine in Europe\nihai for wealth of shell, explosives and\nWar power is the amazement ol tho\nGermans.\n\u201e Without an English airplane engine\nt!tiat could clrcte her own Island she\nam vanquished tho zeppellns and is\nmistress of her own skies. With sub'\nmarines hy the hundred threatening\nher coast defenses, her food supplies\n\"wn '\n<\"\u25a0\u25a0.  \u25a0\u2022\nand her commerce, she has swept all\noceans, locked the German fleet in\nharbor, convoyed shipments of gold\nacross tho ocean In safety\u2014loads of\ngold that In former times would have\nparalyzed national financial markets\n\u2014made the English Channel her multiple track ocean railway to Europe\nwith no loss by zeppelln or submarine; fought In Africa, at the Canal, at\nthe Dardanelles; grappled with the\nTurk nnd the Bulgar; changed generals and admirals In command;\nchanged cabinets; fed the armies of\nFrance; given arms to Russia; maintained the armies and the governments of Belgium and Serbia and altogether advanced $3,000,000,000, or\nthree times the national debt of the\nUnited States, to her war allies.\nWhile the United States lias been\ntrying to find out how to build military rifles in quantities und has unfilled orders for them representing\nhundreds of millions of dollars, England has been turning out rifles by\nthe million for herself and her allies,\ncannon by tho thousand, boots and\ncoats by the million for herself and\nher allies, and, wonder of wonders,\nshe has done all this, Is doing it, is\nyet to do more, and has now her\nmanufacturing, her trade relations\nand her overseas commerce unimpaired. Yet she has grabbed the trade of\nthe world, so that her enemies are\nstruggling on half rations with food,\nrubber and metal supplies from the\noutside world practically cut off except as new territory is taken.\nThis is a gigantic physical power\nand a trade and war power combined\nnever before dreamed of. It puts in\nthe shade all that tho world previously\nknew of Great Britain's financial\npower.\nThe British Hon was regarded as a\nmoney bag of trade nud a whelp of\nthe seas. Great Britain's ability to\nput 10 per cent of her population\nunder aims, to feed and equip her\nallies and at the same timo to maintain her credit and commerce throughout tho world wus something never\ndreamed of within or without her\nEmpire before this war.\nI Defenders of Our House\nConditions must indeed be growing\nbad In Germany. The people are so\ngloomy in Saxony, states an American consul who has just returned to\nthe United States, that \"every day is\nlike a New England Sunday.\"\nThe Pacific Cnnadian, a weekly\npaper published at New Westminster,\nhas suspended, making twenty British\nColumbia newspapers thai have gone\nto the journalistic graveyard in less\nthan two years,\nThe man who ''goes short\" also\n\"goes broke.\"\nAny man who goes \"short\" on Brit\nIsh Columbia will Inevitably go broke.'\nA great American financier once\nvoiced this doctrine concerning the\nUnited States and it applies just as\npotently to British Columbia. The\nman who adopts the \"bear\" attitude\ntoward the future of this province will\ninevitably go broke If he backs his\nopinion with his money. It is the man\nwho goes \"long\" on British Columbia\nwho will win out. The man who goes\n''long\"; who allows no temporary setback or pessimistic talk to influence\nhim into timid doubt concerning the\nfuture of the province and its ability\nto make good, financially and econo\nmically, is the man who best serves\nthe people of British Columbia.\nAnd this applies to public men just\nas much as to individuals.\n(By h. B. C. Pollard.)\nThere is an aspect of the present\nwar that passes to a large extent unnoticed by the world. Civilization\nhas seen how Britain entered the lists\nto defend her honor and how the\noversea dominions of tho British Empire rallied to the support of our\ncommon cause. It is out or this that\ntho new aspect of imperial Britain\nemerges, for the Empire has become\na new factor In world politics\u2014an\nEmpire of trained soldiers and veterans.\nThe Btudent of political affairs between 1900 and 1914 was continually\nconfronted with problems of Imperial\ndefense; 1017 sees the main interests\nof these problems settled, for points\nthat were difficult questions upon\npaper have been settled in fact without any discussion having arisen.\nWar is a great solvent of political\niccretlons, and measures have been\nadopted under the Instant pressure of\nevents, that in peace time would have\nbeen bandied about as legislative Innovations for several years before\nthey passed at all.\nToday Britain and Greater Britain,\ntho United Empire, stands with all its\nmanhood trained and equipped for\nwar\u2014and modern war itself has been\nproved to be a matter only within the\ncompass of great powers to conduct.\nYears hence, when the possibilities of\nthe British* Empire will have been\ncomprehensively developed, the defensive resources of the Empire will\nbo incomparably superior to their\nposition In the present day, for we\nshall have not only the armies and\nfactories of the United Kingdom but\nthe man-power and the industries of\nthe Dominions; the united legions of\nthe Empire.\nHas Learnt Much\nThe Greater British soldier, and in\nparticular the officer, has learnt much\nduring the progress of the campaign.\nThe training of overseas forces and\nthe teaching of their war seasoned\nmen was for the most part based upon\ntho peculiar conditions and lessons of\ntho Boer war. The first experience of\nmodern conflict revealed the need for\nnew military methods and a speedy\napproximation to the soldier of the\ncontinental typo as distinct from the\n\"Irregular\" of the Boer war ideal.\nThe overseas soldier, of course,\nbrought with him certain preconceived prejudices. Like so many of the\nhome-born citizen soldiers he confused discipline with red tape, and\nboasted a contempt for many of the\nregular soldiers' idols. This attitude\nwas partly temperamental and duo In\npart to the free and self-assertive\nspirit of the overseas man. Also it\nwas part of the tradition of the Boer\nwar contingents; a natural point of\nview for the non-professional citizen\nsoldier.\nAs soon as the overseas soldier discovered for himself the practical\nreasons for rigid discipline, his shrewd\nIntelligence developed a quick appreciation of the need and he set himself\nto acquire the new spirit In earnest\nAs a result of this tho German assurance as to tbe British overseas.troops\nproving to. be an undisciplined mob,\nwas rudely dissipated by thAe troops\nthomselvep at the 'outset. This moral\nvictory has hardly been appreciated\nat Its true value, for in point of fact\nIt Is one of the greatest of the numerous triumphs the oversea troops have\nwon.\nThe war-trained oversea officer has\nnot only become a soldier, but ho has\nbecome a highly efficient professional\nsoldier in whose hands the military\ndevelopment of the youth of the Empire can safely be entrusted.\nEach' Will Have Her Quota;\nIn the future discussion of problems\nof defense, public opinion in the Dominions will not be dependent solely\nupon the view of professional experts\nfrom tho United Kingdom. Each dominion will have her quota of thoroughly trained officers; men who have\nlearnt the art of war not in the\nclass room, but In the field.\nThe temperament of the stay-at-\nhome. Englishman has been affected by\ncontact with the oversea mon, just ns\nmuch as the oversea man has risen to\nii new appreciation of tho English, for\nboth have been subjected to the same\nstresses of campaign, shared tho same\nperils and received the same honor. In\nthe Boor war, the Greater Briton, accustomed to outdoor life and the wider\nscope of action of wilder lands, was\nbetter fitted for the campaign than\nwas tho British trooper who had been\nbred in these crowded Islands. In this\nwar the man from the factory has been\nupon more equal terms with the man\nfrom the ranges; for neither of them\never saw a, trench before.\nTroops from overseas, the men of\nthe new army and the survivors of tho\nold regulars, thero is no difference between them now, nor will there be\nagain.\nTo a certain extent, modern warfare\nhas forced far-reaching changes upon\nthe old army, for many cherished Idols\nand .traditions have been scrapped.\nBut they, the Territorials, Colonials,\nKitcheners, all are now modeled alike.\nThe very outward semblance of tho\nold red coated British army has been\nlost, and the imperial fighting machine\nbids fair to emerge victorious from\ntlio. si niggle closer akin, perhaps to\ntho French citizen soldiers type than\nany other military species.\nImperial service, national service-\ncitizen service, they are one and the\nsame; for with the acceptation of the\nprinciple of national service, the days\nof predatory war making are ended.\nThe launching of the German war machine was'the last attempt at world\ndominion; Hs defeat the first step toward a permanent peace.\nMen who' have been through war\nknow the best methods of maintaining\npeace. \/ So far ns the British Empire is\nconcerned, her dominions have learnt\nthe lesson, and tho policy they will\npursue after the war ia over will be\nthe fruit of the wisdom of the warriors who return. Great Britain, and\nGreater Britain alike may well be hopeful of the future, when they look upon\nthe defensive organization which their\nordeals have called fopth..\ni WHAT THE PRESS 18 SAYING J\nThe Daily Paper\nIn the days through which we are\npassing the dally -paper has come to\noccupy such a place in the home and\nthe community that It can no longer\nhe regarded as a luxury.

The\nkaiser's dreams of a great' German\ncentral African empire are proved to\nhave been only dreams and the German flag ceases to wave above a rich\nand fertile country twice the size of\nGermany.\nGerman and British East Africa are\nin many respects much alike. The\nnumber of white inhabitants is about\nthe same. The highland regions nre^\nsuitable for white settlements and the\nagricultural products are similar. The\nGermans, however, have'gono in moro\nfor planting than farming. The German territory Includes, of course, a\nconsiderable proportion of useless\nland, but^by. far,the. greater part of\nrich.\nIn tho vicinity of the coast the soil\nis shallow and not very rich although\neoeounut, palms and sisal (fibre) two\nof tho most important products of tho\ncountry, flourish In it.\nFor years East Africa was Germany's most favored colony.. Largo\nsums were spent by the government\non scientific research and in the construction of roads and railways, Spo-\nclal inducements were held out to settlers and every encouragement given\nto industry. The'Imperial navy, for\nexample.^was ordered only to use rope\nmade of\"sisal grown In German possessions. Shipping was subsidised and\nmoney poured into the country for its\ndevelopment.\nCountry of Great Possibilities\nIt is indeed a country of great possibilities. Behind tho coast line lies\na maritime plain from 10 to 40 miles\nbroad whero the mango, orange, banana and other fruits flourish. Parts\naro suitable for cotton and tobacco,\nwhile the natives cultivate rice, cassava, maize, beans, etc. Inland from\nthis plain the country rises gradually\nto the plateau which constitutes the\ngreater part of the Hinterland. Its\ngeneral level Is 4,000 feet until It falls\nto the levels of lakes Tanganyika and\nNyasa, '2,590 feet and 1,607 feet respectively. The greater portion of this\ncountry is rich and large sums have\nbeen spent in the Kilimanjaro, Moro-\ngoro and Neu Langenburg districts.\nRuanda is said to be Ideal, for stock\nraising. Coffee, vanilla, cnoutchon,\ncacao, sugar, tea and cinchona may be\nmentioned among the agricultural\nproducts. Coal, iron, lend, copper, mica and salt are known to exist.\nIt Is true that in 1914 the revenue\nof the country wns only \u00a3825,000 but\nGerman East Africa is still in its infancy. We shall reap the benefit of\nthe hard pioneer work done by - the\nGermans which has placed the colony\nfar ahead of any tropical African country.\nSpecial attention has been devoted to\nmeans of communication, and it may\nbe noted that the railways were designed to satisfy both military and\ncommercial needs. The Cental railway runs from Dar-es-Salnam, the\nchief port on the coast, northwest\nacross J.he Tabora plateau to Ujijl on\nlake Tanganyika a distance of 780\nmiles. It divides the colony into two\nparts nnd taps not only the Tanganyika district but also the western part\nof the Belgian Congo;    '     \u25a0\nTho Northern railway, ' 220 miles\nlong, starts from Tanga on the coast\nand runs via Moshi to Arusha, It passes through the rich farmers' country\nabout Kilimanjaro and the great plantations In the Usambnra highlands.\nDevelopment Advanced\nThe land has heen surveyed and\nplans prepared for many other railways and light railways, while excellent roads, some suitable for motor\ntraffic, have been constructed. The\ntelegraph, telephone and postal services have readied a high point of excellence, and wireless stations are established in various parts of the country. Large railway works exist at\nTanga,  Dar-es-Salaam and  Tabora.\nEnough hns heen said to show that\nGerman East Africa Is not a. useless\ntract of tropical country. It is a going concern already highly developed\nand ripe for a very great Increase. No\nbelter proof of Its value can be found\nthan its enormous expenditure lavished upon it by the Germans.\nCommercially, it will be an asset to\nThe very smallest thing on earth\nwhich has been actually measured Is\na light wave.\nLight waves, of course, are of different lengths. In the spectrum the\nred waves are longest, orange next,\nyellow next and so on to the violet,\nwhich are shortest of the visible waves. So If we wero to give the measurement of tho very smallest thing\nwe would havo to take one of the. light\nwaves In the violet, end of tho spectrum, or better still, one of the waves\nof the ultraviolet portion which is invisible.\nTho shortost of these that has been\ndetermined Is 120 mllllonthB of a millimeter. Changing this to fractions\nof nn inch, we can comprehend tbe\nsmallncBs of the wave bettor. If these\nwaves wore placed ono on top of tho\nother, there would be more than 200,-\n000 of them In a line one inch long.\nTho negligent corpuscle which is a\nconstituent part of the atom is known\nto be smaller than this, but Its exact\nsize lias not been determined.\nThat theso light waves can be measured is due to the fact that as light\nwaves aro refracted it Is only a matter of determining tlte angle of refraction and by trlnngulation finding the\nlength.\nX  EVOLUTION   OF  A  SENATOR X\nPrior to election a future United\nStates senator is meek and lowly.

April 3.\u2014\"Righto.\" Everywhere one hears this word of genernl\nutility In that part of France in which\nBritish, troops aro quartered.\nThe French use it as they use the\nword \"Sport\" and many other adaptations from the English language. Long\nafter the war ends, perhaps centuries\nhenco when the great struggle 1h but\na bit of difficult history for school\nchildren, the people of northern Franco\nmay still indicate cheerful acquies-\ncense by singing out:\n\"Righto.\"\nNew words-make their way into a\nlanguage easily and quickly in time of\nwar because of the need lor forms of\nexpression that will be easily understood by the sojourner. When they\ngot In they stay, as Scotsmen understand who have given study to the\nderivation of the Lothian tongue. \"Tns-\nsie,'' a cup of convivial drinking, is almost certainly a survival of the presence of a French garrison during the\nearly years of the reign of Mary Stuart.\nNear Linlithgow palace, long the\ncentre of French influence, is a wide\nexpanse of level ground known in the\nvernacular as \"Chamfloory.\" This is\nunquestionably a corruption of Champs\ndes Fleurs, th\u00a9 parade ground of troops\nwho found it carpeted with dandelions\nwhen they first saw it\nThen there is the story that the\nEdinburgh man does not like to hear\non a west country tongue. There wero\nand are, very high houses in old VAin\nburgh, chiefly on High street and Can\nnongate. In tho pro-sewer days It was\na heavy task to carry household slops\ndownstairs, so the Edinburgh house'\nwife threw them over the window-sill\nto the cry of \"Gardyloo,\" so that any\nFrenchman in the street would look\nout for the water, \"(lardyloo\" was the\nwarning cry long after the lost soldier\nof* France had gone.\n\u2022Th*v strange French-EngllMlv-1 that\nduring almost three years has been\ngetting a grip in northern France may\nstick like tho Scots-French in tho Lo-\nthluns three centuries ago. Today,\nwhnn in limping French I asked for\n\"Le menage des officers,\" the very old\nlady I asked replied; \"La messe c'ost\nla.\" In France 'La messe\" is the\nphrase for mess and the old lady was\nletting inc see not only that she knew\nthe right name for the officers' quarters but that she considered they might\nbo given a moro fitting name.\nPatience Beyond Praise.\nThe patience with which the people bear the long-continued hardships\nand perils of military occupation is\nbeyond praise. Today from a Toronto\nartillery officer 1 heard this story,\nUp near Armentieres close by his\nbattery was the tiny farm of a pedant who was well-to-do in that ho\nowned two horses. When tho b.i'.tory\nlocated near him lie was preparing hts\nland for a crop of wheal. When the\nGermans replied to the Canadian fire\nmost of the shells fell in the prospective wheat field. They were what is\nknown as \"Light stuff\" and the holes\nthey made were filled in without too\ngreat difficulty. The work of preparation was almost completed\u2014under\ndally shell fire, be it rehiembered\u2014\nwhen a bursting shell killed both the\nold man's horses. It was a sore\nstroke, but the offer to loan a pair of\nbattery horses was thankfully accepted, all the shell holes wero filled,\nseeding was completed, and the Canadians remained long enough to see\nthe plucky old fellow reap a good crop\nin spite of the Bosche.\n: That represents one sort of patience. Another is displayed by tens\nof thousands of householders, from\nthe owners of tho fine old chateaux to\ntho colliers of tiie mining villages,\nwho have had men of alien race, billeted in their houses ever since liu-l.\nTo give up one's best bedroom for a\nfew days to a convention delegate\nwith whom one can become well acquainted In an hour Is a pleasure. To\nbe deprived for years of every spare\nroom so that strangers may uso them\nIs a great hardship. It is borne uncomplainingly \"pour la Patrie.\" Often, alas, the room of the son of the\nhousehold' would be empty but for\n\"les Anglais.\" The Frenchmen who\nhave made the last great sacrifice are\nnumbered by hundreds of thousands\nand the ond is not yet\nThe suggestion is heard occasionally that thero will bo many marriages\nbetween British soldiers and French\ngirls after tho war. Assuredly much\nlaughter that is not all masculine is\nheard In billets and elsewhere. There\nare very many men In transport and\nsimilar services located all the way\nfrom the English channel to tho battle front. It would bo strange if the\nlittle archer did, not hit some of them.\nTho resultant crop of marriagos\u2014\nbig or little\u2014will bo to the advantage\nof France, because It wilt bind the*\npeople on opposito sides of the channel still more closely together,\nj Ono of tlio groat discoveries of the\nwar has been l-Yunce's finding of her\nsoul. Another has been the discovery\nthat tho supposedly soft und degenerating, if not already degenerate,\nEnglishman is as hardy and as tough\nand resourceful a fighter as his ancestors who followed the great Edward or the dauntloss Henry to\nFrance centuries ago. A little racial\nIntermixture might benefit both nations. Britain ueodB France's mental alertness and adaptability; Franco\ncould find a pfaoo for English physique and resolution.

Among those\nwho |iavo purchased machines are Dr.\nGilbert Hart In, who will in future\ndrive a Chevrolet four, and F. H.\nSkoels, who, Instead of tbe Studabaker\nfour which ho drove last season, will\nthis year drive a  McLaughlin six.\nThe firm states that since the filing\nOf, its order for these shipments tho\nprice of automobiles have risen twice,\nbut that it will be able to give their\nfirst buyers the' advantage of the former quotations, In speaking of the entry of, the Nelson Transfer company\nInto the business, George Kurts stated yesterday that he believed this year\nwould see a large number of new machines in operation in the district and\nthat a large market was opening up\nfor ears. Thero was no reason, he declared, why Nelson should not bo made\nthe selling centre for Kootenay-Boun-\ndary and declared that his firm had\ndecided to Uevolop the business in the\ncity on a large scale. Indications, said\nMr. Kurts. pointed to their boing a\nwide and active interest displayed in\nmotoring, much of which was due to\ntho organization of the Nelson Automobile club, whoso members, he said,\nAn Aged Woman\nTells How Vinol  Made Her Strong.\nIn hor eighty-second year Mrs. John\nWlckersham of ftttsseltville, To., says:\nI whs in a run-down, feeblo condition\nand had lost flesh.

It is the\nintention of the Nelson Transfer company, he said, tu keep a large enough\nstock of cars, at various prices, on\nhand to make a selection in tho city\npossible for tho intending purchaser.\nDIVISION  ONE\nHEADS   HUME    LIST\nDivision 1 heads the Hume school reports for lust month for perfect attendance with a percentage of 96.4.

They are said to have been employed to a limited extent Ln the Napoleonic and franco-Prussian wars;\nU ts known that tbe German army\nmedical people were using them before\nthe war and that they are using them\nIn large quantities at the present time.\nBut It is only within the past two\nyears that tho Urltish army has adopted this form of dressing; even In the\nspring of 1916 the use of moss In hospitals was still in its experimental\nstage. Now, however, since they arc\nconsidered to be superior to any other\navailable absorbent dressings, societies and organizations hnvc heen formed throughout Great Britain and Canada to collect sphagnum and prepare\ndressing for use In the various war\nhospitals. The Irish St. John's Ambulance association under the presidency\nof the Countess of Wuterford created\na sphagnum department, and is supplying over 50,000 moss dressings per\nmonth. To show how rapidly the demand has grown, Sir Alexander Os-\n\u00bbton, M. D., the eminent military surgeon, ln an article in the National Review for August, estimates tho probable casautlles for this year and\nconcludes that at leust fifty million\ndressings should be prepared and clearly Indicated that sphagnum is superior\nto any other absorbent materials. It\nis, therefore, quite clear that Canada\nand British Columbia In particular,\nwith its large sphagnum resources, and\nmany willing Red Cross workers should\nlose no time in ascertaining what we\ncan do to provide a share of these hospital supplies.\nRed Cross workers in eastern Canada\nfound thut certain species of sphagnum\nIn the east were eminently suited for\nsurgical work and began the preparation of dressings, but winter came on\nand all the sphagnum bogs were buried under snow so that for the time\nbeing  no  moss  could    be    collected,\nTODAY ONLY\nFlora Parker\nDeHaven\nIn tho Red Feather Feature,\n\"THE  WHIRLPOOL  OF\nDESTINY\"\nTwelfth Chapter of\n\"THE   IRON   CLAW\"\nNote\u2014This week and each\nsucceeding week \"The Iron\nClaw\" will be shown Wednesday only.\nDon't miss a single day at\nat the GEM Easter week. A\nnew program each day.\nMeantime they thought of the mild climate of British Columbia and a communication wns forwarded by the head\noffice of the Canadian Red Cross society to John Davidson, F. L. S. botanical office, University of BrltlBh Columbia, to ascertain what species wero\navailable for this purpose, and samples were forwarded to Prof. J. S. Porter of McGill university, who is secretary of tho sub-committee on sphagnum dressings. In acknowledging receipt of these Professor Porter asks for\nsufficient quantities to enable him to\nmake absorbency tests, aB some species\nwere more valuable tha nothers. The\nnext mail brought a letter stating that\nfor the present all Canadian supplies of\nsphagnum dressings were being held\nup on account of freight congestion on\nthe railways and a serious reduction of\ncargo space on transatlantic shipping,\nbut it is expected that these difficulties will soon be removed and that all\nour supplies will go forward as before.\nMeantime it is desirable for volunteer workers throughput tiie province\nto take stock of their resources and also\nfor Red Cross workers to inform themselves as to the technology of preparing dressings.\nIt should be stated that while the\nCanadian Red Cross is undertaking\nserious and probably extensive work\non this new material, it does not consider it advisable for untrained persons\nlo make up dressings, Experience In\nGreat Britain has shown that only\ncertain grades of moss arc useful, and\ndressings made to any but the strictest specifications are likely to be worse\nthan useless. It Is desirable that all\nbogs in British Columbia should be\nsearched for suitable mass and preliminary samples sent to the botanical office, University of British Columbia\nVancouver. Collectors should state\nthe locality and also if found in abundance. The specimens will be examined and reported on as soon as possible.\nNo attempt should lie made to collect\nmoss in quantity, still less to make\ndressings, except with the approval\nand subject to the inspection of the\nprovincial Red Cross authorities.\nThis preliminary stuck taking of our\nbogs is work which could be undertaken by the various Boy Scout and\nGirl Guide organizations In the province and they should be instructed\nto keep each sample and the Information pertaining to its district, so as to\npreclude the possibility of confusion\nWhen the request comes to procure\nsupplies of any particular kind. Therui\nare many different species found ii |\nBritish Columbia. It may be pojsible\nto find useful and useless grades la\nthe same hog.\nFuneral    Attended    by    Members    of\nI. O. O.
