Belgian\nIndustry is highly developed and the\ntransfer of some of its processes to\nCanada would be of great advantage\nto ua.\nTn Canada, we scarc.l'.y realize tbe\nimportance of the place held in Industrial history by Flanders, or that\npart of the \"Low Countries,\" now\nprincipally occupied by the distressed\nkingdom of Belgium.\nCurtlss, ln his bonk \"The Industrial Development of Nations,\" says:\n\"The weaving of linen end woollen\ncloth made the Flemish weavers famous throughout Europe. The making\nof cutlery, armor, weapons, and the\ntanning of leather formed their cblef\nindustries. Flax, hemp and other\nproducts of the Boil, carpets, damask\nand velvets, furnished employment\nfor the people' in all the principal\ntowns and villages. The wool of\nSpain and England was shipped to\nFlanders to he-dressed, dyed and woven into cloth.\"\nIn dealing with European industries\nof the fourteenth century, Glbbins\nsays: \"Bruges, Ghent, and Vpres\n(now In the thick of fighting) possessed great commercial prosperity.\nEach of them had about forty thousand looms constantly \u201et work, largely aupifled with wool from England.\nThe city of Ghent, in the year 1400,\nbad eighty thousand men capable of\nhearing arms. The weavers alone\nfurnished twenty thousand.\"\nFrom the twelfth to tho middle of\nthe seventeenth century the Flemish\nmanufacturers ehnred with Iho Dutch\nthe chief markets of the world.\nThe fame of Industrial Flanders\n\u25a0routed In Edwnrd III., King of Kngland, the desire to create similar in\ndustrles, and wo read thnt \"In 1331,\nhe Invited John Kemp, a Flemish\nweaver, tn set up clnth weaving in\n. Kngland, and he came with hit servants and apprentices, both weavers,\nfullers and dyert, He nnd his men\nwere to cn'oy the King's protection\nand were encouraged to exercise their\ncraft, and to Instruct tbose who\nwished to learn.\"\nSpanish oppreaalon Mattered the\nFlemish artisans, and many of them\nfollowed Kemp to England and contributed enormously towards the suc-\nceeeful establishment of English Industrial superiority.\nThere seems little to choose between the Krupp guns of the Kaiser\nand the swords of tho Spaniards ns\nagenta of destruction, and It IB probable that mnny Belgians, tho worthy\ndescendants of the Flemish, will seek\nnew homes in Canada, where they\nm\u00bbjr impart a measure of the Indut-\ntrlal Impetus whleh their similarly\nexiled ancestors gavo to England\nmany centuriea ago.\u2014Induatriai Cannda.\nAnnual Meeting of the\nRifle Association\nThe second annual meeting of the\nCranhrook Civilian Rifle Association\nwuB'held on Tuesday evening, the fifteenth, wben about 25 enthusiastic\nriflemen were present.\nThe election of officers for the;season 1915 resultd in ths following:\nCaptain\u2014A.

The association\nat the start of the season were some\n$55 or $60 behind but are now $15\nto the good, and have still tbe Government grant for care and maintenance of the range to come in. Tn\nview of this the meeting decided to\namend the by-law, setting the annual\nmembership fee at $1 instead of $3.\nln completing the target practice\nreturn, averages,,etc., Mr. W. J.

Baden-Powell\nLondon, Dec. 12.\u2014(Correspondence\nof the Associated Press)\u2014Gineral Baden-Powell shares the opinion of\nmnny other English military experts\nwho believe that Germany fully expects to invade England if possible,\nand will direct its activities toward\nthe commercial cities in the north of\nEngland rather than toward London\nand the cities of the south.\nIn the ooinlon of General Baden-\nPowell, the German Emperor wlll\nendeavor to land at least 90,000\ntroops in England.\nMOVE LIKELY IN NORTH\n\"I know the general Idea is,\" said\nGeneral Baden-Powell in a recent interview, \"that the attempt t0 invade\nEngland will be made on the coast\nof Norfolk or Suffolk. Personally, I\nthink that the Yorkshire coast it\nmore likely, for the Germans wlll\nfirst desire to invade the industrial\ncentres of the north. They appreciate what effect that would have if\nthey succeeded. Once let them secure\nBorne of the big manufacturing towns,\nfactories would be smashed up and\nruined, and I estimate that they\ncould th'n throw 14,000,000 persons\nout of employment, rendering them\ndestitute. It in certain that oven by\na short, sharp raid, they could do a\ntremendous amount of damage.\"\nGeneral Baden-Powoll Is far lctt oi-\ntlmlstlc about the war thnn many of\nEngland's public men. Thi bero of\nMafeking, in discussing the present\ncrisis, snid: \"Thoro are Btill many\npereong in country districts, Rnd even\nin some of our large towns, who do\nnot realize what this grent war\nmeans, thnt Britain's fight |s one for\nhor very existence. We receive encouraging reports that wo are don;\nwell, but wo must remember that om\nHide or tho othor must go undor, and\ngo under- forever. At present it lookt\nas If tho wind It blowing In our favor, but thoro It always the unexpected to consider. You never cnn tell.\nThe right thing to do is to try and\nsmash tbe Germans now, whleh\nmeans that every man must put his\nshoulder to the wheel.\"\nNINE POSSIBLE POINTS.\nThe Germans, It is statod by thc\nGeneral, have nine places from which\nthey could embark troops In an effort to make a landing in England.\nHe estimates that a greater force\nthan 10,000 probably would not bc\nsent from each of these points, making a total nf less thnn 100,000.\nLowmtoft and other towns along the\nEast coast of England, which are regarded aB likely landing places for\nan invading army, havo mado preparations to receive tho Germans.\nTho Mayor of Lowmtoft has issued\na statoment to tho cltliiens of that\ntown advising them how to act In\ncase tho Germane land. A sped 1\nforco of one hundred and fifty constables hu been named, and clvlllant\nhave been advited to follow the direction! of thete officers, should   tht\nGermans enter tbe town.\nWalter Long, a . Member of Parliament, has advised that all foodstuffs\nstored in large ciuantities in EaBt\ncoaBt towns should be moved inland,\nwhore they can be guarded againBt\nseizure.\nGenertll Baden-Powell says the, 15\n000 older Boys Scouts of England arc\ndoing everything in tbeir power to\nassist in the present struggle. Theae\nScouts are sixteen years or more,\nnnd would be available as a second\nguard ln case thc military authority s lower the nge limit. All these\nboys are fairly well drilled, and\nwould be effective in almost any kind\nof military duty.\nHow close in bis Burmise that an\nattack would flrst be made on the\nYorkshire coast cnn now readily be\nseen. The first attack of the German\nnavy against the shores of England\noccurred on Weilneadny, December 16,\nby a fleet of six vessels. Thle attack\nwas made ln just the placo that\nGeneral Baden-Powdl eald it would\nbe made, the north ol Yorkshire and\nwithin close touch of the great industrial centres of the Old Country.\nBy Way ofContrast\nTt seems to me thnt the English\nare not such beasts as most of th-lr\nallies. On August 28 they paved a\ngood many of our men, when our\ncruisers went down, in the most ga'\nlent manner.\nThe above is an extract from a\nletter received by Dr. F. Zimmerman\nof 38 Scheerer Avenue, Newark, N.J.,\nfrom his brother Kurt, a first lieutenant in the German '.avy. Bv way\nof contrast, it may be mentioned that\nwhen the British ships Good Hope\nond Monmouth were sent down by a\nsuperior German squadron off the\ncoast of Chile, not a single British\nsailor was saved by th-! German\nships. Furthermore, points out the\nMontreal Herald, while the British\nhave consistently saved the lives of\nGerman naval men whenever possible,\neven the lives of men from wrecked\nGerman submarines, not one single\nlife ot a Britisher f.-om a war vessel\nhas been saved by Germans since tbe\nwar began.\nScenes at_the War\nNever, never, shall I forget that\nmost terrible scene when we rushed\nour horses and heavy guns across the\nfields covered all over with the |bodiee\nr.lf dead and dying German soldiers.\nAs we Bwept across the field like a\ndevastating storm, not heeding anything, we heard the creaking of bones\nunder the horses' feet and the guns'\nwheels, writes a French artilleryman.\nThe guns tottered as if they were\nrunning through a new-ploughed field.\nTbey heeled over when they passed\nover two human bodies simultaneously, and every now and again thi\nhorses staggered and stumbled, anil\nslipped in their mud run over thoae\nhundreds and hundreds of corpses. I\ndid not venture to look about; I kept\nmy eyes steadily fixed on a distant\npoint nt my horse's neck.\nBut It did not prevent me from\nhearing\u2014and I did hear\u2014the blood-\nstirring cries of agony and pain and\ndespair, mingled with tho (earful\nnoise of thi galloping horses and\nguns. And the most horrible were\nthe cries of terror of those who,\nthough seriously wounded, bad hitherto escaped from death, and paw approaching at a furioiiB rate thnt\ndevastating nvatanche of guns nnd\nhorses which would the next moment\ncrush those still breathing breasts\nanil stamp lilfe out ot tho bodies.\nOnly once hnd I more linn \u25a0 mere\nglimpse of this scene of horror. It\nwas when my horso hnd slipped, and\nfoil on one knee, and I looked down.\nThe moment I raised my head again\nI taw on my left a mnn -a wreck of\n\u25a0 mnn\u2014spring to his feet nnd mnke\na wild gesture with hia arms, at il\nto stoi the deadly avalanche, He\nwna knocked down hy the horaea of\nthe guns next to mine, nnd I actually heard tho croaking of hit bones.\nAnd this maddening vision has ever\nsince haunted me.\u2014(Translated In\nAberdeen Freo Press.)\nHon.

General Jolre knows\nhow to wait and when to strike. The\nunexpected presence of a fresh Frenrh\nnrmy on the northwest of Paris\nsorely disconcerted von Klurk. in his\nswift advance, and compelled his\nrapid retirement to the Marne. Since\nthen, time after time Joflre has\nshown great judgment in his dispositions.

For all their\nculture the march of civilization has\npassed them by. They still retain all\ntbe savage instincts of their ancestors, the Huns. In matters of morality they are absolutely colorblind.\nIt iB this colorblindedness, and not\nstupidity, which mattes them utterly\nunable to understand the Indignation\ntheir methods have aroused throughout the civilized world. To tbeir\nclaim to be the pioneers ol a higher\ncivilization, civilization replies that\nthey are a pestilent anachronism\nwhich in the interest of humanity\nmust be extirminated.\u2014Tbe  Week,\nTHE LAND POLICY NKEDKD.\nThe Provincial Government, although it has definitely stated that\na comprehensive policy, looking to\nthc settlement of the vacant lands in\nBritish Columbia, is under consideration, is subject to the continuous\nbadgering of those who seek to nu'ie\npolitical capital of a subject to which\ntbey give very little thought. Some\nscheme of settlement is undoubtedly\nnecessary and some workable system\nwill doubtlesB be arranged, but only\nafter careful consideration of the very\npeculiar conditions which exist in\nthis province.\nBritish Columbia is physically so\ndifferent from the othor parts of Canada that any proposition to further\nsettlement mint differ very materially from those which obtain elsewhere.\nThe settler in the prairie provinces\ncan take his land wherever he chooses without becoming a burden on the\nprovincial treasury. He dofts not require the construction < f expensive\nroads for he can drive in almost any\ndirection without waiting for the\ngrader, the rockmnn or the scrapeT.\nIn British Columbia tbe pre-emptor\nchooses his land\/and almost nB soon\nas bis application is filed be demands\nreads and bridges, if he happens to\nlocate in some pleasant little vnlley\nbeyond the established lines of communication. Long before he has a\npound 0f Produce to haul, he expects\na road to haul it over, and very often when he his It he abandons his\nplace or offers it for sale at five\ntimes the value of the time and labor expended on improvements. Any\nBcheme of land settlement to be effective without creating a dra n upon\nthe treasury should provide for tho\nsettlement of lands already opened\nup by roads and adjacent to markets. If settlors enro to go Into districts tataoinin which may look\ngreener to them they Fhoiild not expect that ench little group nf ten or\na dozen would be provided with\nroads nnd bridges until tbere in sufficient produce raised to warrant the\ncost. It is absurd to think that\nthousands or dollars must be spent\nby the public to transport ngricul\ntural products, the entire value of\nwhich would not pny the interest on\nthe money laid out on the roads.\nThe \"back to the land\" movement is\nworthy of every consideration but if\nthe movement is to cost the province\nmore than any benefit which might\nbe derived  will amount to, (be   land\nmight better be left as it is until\ndistricts nearer markets and already\nsupplied with transportation facilities, hive been filled with prosperous\nfarmers.\u2014Kamloops Standard.\nMAP    OF    1NTKREST\nA publication which should prove\nof considerable interest tu the prospective settler has recently beeu prepared in, ami is being issued from the\nRailway Land;.

This\ninteresting publication which is\nknown aa the Peace Hi ver or Northern Alberta Homestead Map graph'\nIcally illustrates by a comparative,y\nsimple system o( colouring ihu land\nsituation in that district, including\nas it does, complete information with\nrespect to the disposal of lands, location of timber berths arut (urest reserves, nature of the soil, etc.\n.An interesting, feature oi the map\nis lh\u00b0 fact that it enables an observer to procure at a-'!ance a complete\ngrasp of the present land situation,\nnot only with regard to those lands\nwhii\"h have been taKen up during past\nyears, but al^o with respect to lanjs\npreviously hnm^steade.j but for which\npatent ha3 not as yet been issued. It\nthus enables a person to trace the\nprogress during comparatively recent\nyears of settlement in the Peace Riv\ner District.\nThe aim in the preparation of the\nmap has b?en to sh.?w the land situation up to September of the pres-\nsent year and, in view of the rapid\nexhaustion of free homesteads throughout the older piovjnces, the informa\ntinn should prove of particular interest to prospective settlers.\nCopies may bc obtained free of all\ncharge upon apllication to F.

The Land\nCommissioners having jurisdiction\nover these la'ids nre stationed at\nPrince Rupert, at Haxeltrn and at\nPort Fraser. The pre-emptors' maps\nshow the location of all these surveyed lots, and addit'omil informa\ntic n ean be secured respecting most\nof them upon application to the local   or  resident  commissioner.\nIn the Cariboo District the available surveyed lands total 7S9.752\nacres, the greater proportion of\nwhich is afong the line of the Grand\nTrunk Paolflc Railway, or tributary\nto tbo railway, the eastern half of\nthe railway through the Province lie-\nn; within the coniines of the Cariboo district. The most central of-\nBce in connection with tbe administration of these lands is that at\nFort George, jlthiugh certain ,.f the\nlands in the extreme west of the district nre administered through the\noffice at Fort Fraser. and cert an of\noffice,\nIn ihe Ullooet District there a-e\n518,195 acrps of surveyed lands available. These are all lands which will\nbe servd directly or ;ndirectly. by\nthit Part of the Pacitic Creat East-\nern Railway system betwetu Squaoi*\nish and Fort Oeorge. Somethin*: over io ver cvnr. of these surveys were\nmade during the past season, anl\nvery encouraging reports have been\nreceived on the prospects of this section of the Province for dairying and\nmixed farming. These lands are all\nunder the aJ^inistr^tion ot the I anl\nCommissioner stationed  at  Clinton.\nIn the Kamloops District the surveyed lands at present available for\nsettlement amount to 72,617. TheBe\nlands are all tributary to the line of\nthe Canadian Northern Railway and\nare situate between the Northern\nboundary of the Dominion Railway\nBelt and Tete Jaime Cache. They are\nall under the administration of the\nLand  Commissioner at Kamloops.\nIn the Peace River Land District\nsurveys have been made aggregating\n124,000 acres. These lands are considered too remote at the present\ntime for immediate settlement, but\nupon the completion of the Peace\nRiver extention df the Pacific Coast\nEastern Railway from Fort George\nthe greater portion of the whd'e area\nsurveyed will be given direct railway communication. These are all\nadministered at the present time\nthrough the Fort George Land office.\nOff the Pacific Terminus of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Railway an extensive system of survey has been\ncarried 0ut on Graham Island of the\nQueen Charlotte Llands group. During the past season 66,133 acres were\nsurveyed on this island, bringing the\ntotal surveyed acreage available for\nsettlement on the island up to 193,-\nf'63 acres.\nDuring the year 1914 there were opened to settlement by pre-emption\n114,410 acres 0f reserved land. Of tbls\narea 90,700 acres represented Crown\nLands' on the South Fork of the\nFraser River and lands in the vicinity of Kennedy Lake, Clayoquot District, which were withdrawn from\nsettlement pending survey. The remaining 23,710 ncres were made up of\nlogged off lands which were subdivided throughout the year. The major\nportion of these lands were distributed through. Enst and West Kootenay,\nbut extensive areas were also opened\non the Hal...on River in the Hayward\nDiBtrict and near the Powell River\nand I.und in New Westminster District. As certain of the lands were\nsub-div|ded into small holdings, there\nwere offerer] altogether in these reserved areas 979 pre-emptions, and\nwith the exception of a few specially\nfavored localities Ihere were more\npre-emptions offering than were settlers t.. take them.\nAs a reiult Of examinations and\nsurveys carried on during the fall,\nIt is the Intention of thc Land Department to open very considerable\nareas of logged-ofl ftnd reserved lands\nin the Spring, so that settlers will\nhnve a fui season to prepare for the\nwinter.\nDuring the year 1914 there wero upwards of 4,000 preemption records\nIssued from the Heveral Commissioners' offices throughout the Province.\nThis shown a substantial gain over\nthe previous year. The figures have\ndoubled since 1910, whan the total in\nsue was 2,049, and have Increased\nfour Md since 1907, when the total\nwas returned at 936.\nTatting I2.r, acres nn an average\nholding under tho pre-etilptloN record,\nihe work accomplished by the Lands\nDepartment during the past year\nmeans that the settlement of the va-\nr\/tut Crown 1-nrts Is now proceeding\nnt the rate of half a million acres per\nannum under OiIh bending alone.\nAnother outstanding feature of the\npast year's land administration has\nbeen the very marked advance In the\nnumber of Crown Grants issued for\nlands acquired under pre-emption\nholdings, This means that a much\ngreater number of settlers have improved their linds sufficiently to take\ntitle, and a very considerable acreage\nhas been added to the agricultural\narea of the Province.\nWith the improved conditions which\nwill follow tho operation dt the three\nnew railway systems, nn even greater advance may be expected next year\nin the matter of land settlement.\nOood markets and free lands will\nwork* wonders within the next few\nyears in British Columbia.\nLocal  News\n(Continued from Page Four.I\nwork with the Fori'Htprfl anil tho\nKnlghta or Pythias and the olrclca In\nwhich they moved will misa tholr\nhappy faces from their midst, lo re\nturning to their home in Ihe OU\nCountry they carry with Ihom tho\nhest wishes ol thoir many friends for\ntheir future success antl  happiness,\nOpon Bkatlng Rink, corner ,,l Han\nson avenue and Bdward street, dents\n15c, ladles and children HV, .Saturday\nafternoons children r>e. f'l-.t\nThe r.P.lt. have 1)800 imay cutting\ndown expenses to moot tho lack of\ntrattic over tholr line In IIiIb district.\nCreston stall has heen reduced to a\none-man depot and Kitchener nud\nRampart have heen closed entirely.\nThe local stall lias also been reduced\nanother operator.

The increased number of men joining the\ncolors today is attributed almost\nsolely to this cause.\nThe increase in recruiting is particularly marked ln London where\nthe rush of applicants resembles in\nmaoy ways the scenes witnessed at\nthe oi i.breuk of the war.\nThe raid is still being widely dls\ncuBscd. Other results, from it are\npreparations at coaBt points for the\nprotection of the civilian population\nin caBe of further' German attacks\nand the organization in London of a\nnational guard for llocal defense. I\nOFFICIAL STATEMENT OF DEAD\nLondon, Dec. 17.\u2014The crippling ol\ntelephone nnd telegraph wires by the\nbombardment yesterday of thrci\nports on the east coast dt England\nby German cruisers, together ,wlth\nthe precautions thrown nbout the\ntowns by the pollco and military au\nthorites, mado it impossible, even\ntoday, more than 24 hours after the\nshelling of Scarborough, the Hartle-\npools end Whitby, to obtain more\nthan an approximate estimnte of the\ncivilian dpad and wounded.\nAccording to nn official statement,\n65 persons met death In the Hartle-\npools, while 15 were wounded. At\nScarborough 17 dead and 30 wounded\nwns tho toll. Both offlclol and unofficial estimates place the Whitby\ncasualties at two dead and two\nwmmded. Of tho Hartlopool casual-\ntlea, Bcpen of tho dead were soldiers,\nwhile ol the wounded 14 men belong\ncd to tho military. Tho maximum ol\nwounded Is close on to 150 persons\nThis does not Include the slightly\nwounded civilians, who bandaged\nthrlr own hurts and loft town on the\nfirst trains.\nA number ol victims at Hartlepool\nwero women and children.

The\nfirst feeling was one of surprise that\nthe entrance of\nlarge shins impossible at low tide,\nwould, however, be no obstacle\nagainst small dralt barges or transports sucb aB it is believed the Germans might use.\nFrom informntirn' in possession of\nthe navy department it alBo wou'h\nseem that Scarborough Ib not fortified 0r dofrnd'd. The rort of Hnrtle-\npool, however, is among the list ot\ndefended harborB and consequently is\nsubject to attack bv a hostile force\nwithout notice of bombardment ond\nwithout vio'atlon of the Hague con-\nvtntlon.\nExpected Appearance Before.\nNaval officers here were little surprise to hear of the appearance or\nGerman warships on the English\ncoast. They had not only expected\nsome such demonstration, but have\nheen puzzled to know why soma- such\nattempt had not been made before.\nNotwithstanding the strength of the\nBritish fleet which has been blockading the German const, ntval officers\nhere havo thought the line of investment could not be made absolutely\ntif:ht because df the stormy weather\nat this season, with dense lo\u00bbs. The\nBritish ships also have been oiliged\nto file many mileB off the German\ncoast 'to escape the fire ol shore batteries and particularly to avoid the\nmine fields.'\nMay Have Been Bait.\nNaval strategists believe that the\nGerman rnid bap;a .double purpose.\nFirst, they thnt it was intended to\nstBike terror into the hcartB df the\nBritish and perhaps to to ne extend\nretard the dispatch of recruits to\nthe armies in France anil Belgium by\nthe crodon of British ships was said j creating a public aplnioa which would\nrequire troops to be kept at' home\nfor defensive uso. Second, tbey\nthink the German cruisers which appeared off Hartlepool and Scarborough are accompanied by submarines, and it waB the German purpose to lure the British warships\ntheory of which would be'sent in pursuit near\nwhich      | enough to come within range 0f tor-\nto form a ring of assured defense\naround the British Isles, has been\nsuddenly penetrated and serious damage Inflicted on the Brltfsn coast\nports.\nIt i was pointed out that this might\nput to a serious test tho late   Rear\nAdmiral   Mahnn's   noted\nsea   power, according to\nstrong naval force could hold at bay pedoes.\nthe attacks of invaders. It wan re-| They assume that in cither case\ncalled also that the northeast coast the German (cruisers will make aa ol-\nof England, In the Immediate vlclni-Iort to return speedily t0 their base,\nty of today's German attack, had avoiding a general action, if possible,\nbeen the historic point of Entl anil's\ninvasion in the past, the.

Nov. 7:\nThis ancient borough has no great\nliking for the nation that has Ehown\nItself bo contemptibly despicalla in\nthe methods it has adopted during thy\npresent'war, and one cannot expect\nthat there should be any rejoicing in\nthc fact that some of its naval men\nhave just put their feet ashore here.\nSuch, however, Is the case. German\nnavy officers and men have landed\nhere, and Gravesenders have rejoiced\nat the fact!\nComing up with the tide on Thursday nfternoon there happened to be\nnn the front at the time a British torpedo boat bringing a harmless looking hospital ship to an anchorage.\nShortly afterward three German na-.\nvui officers nnd a company of about\n30 men were landed at the Terrace\npier, while to help them \"toe th1)\nlino\" was a company of British soldiers with fixed bayonets to re-reive\nthem.\nIt transpired that tbis harmless\nlooking Red CroBs vessel wai cm-\ntuned at Yarmouth by the smart little torpedo boat tbnt escorted ho%up\nthe river. Painted as she is exactly\nHko nn English Red Crow vessel,\nwith the exception thnt the croHH It\nself is nn tlm funnel, and not on thn\nhull, presumably no one but tho very\nsuspicious woi I'd have thought Wiy*\nthn1; t,f her, Hut evidently our navy\nare quite awake and were running no\nrisks.\nTho cniis of tho men henr thb 'ottering in English \"Naval Division,\"\nbut whllo everything Is thus carried\nout. to deceive ns far an possible, an\nexamination of tho vessel, 1 am Informed, reveaTs the fact thut tt Is\nnot fitted up Inside an a hospital ship.\nWhat was  she doing   at Yarmouth?\nEvidently one of two things. She\nwas thero tor obBervat.oa purposes\nor engaged in the dastardly work of\nlaying mineB; although, to give her\nthe utmost credit, be lt said there\nwere no mineB found on board. But\nthen, the sea is large and deep.\nConsiderable time was taken up in\ngetting vans to take away tbe personal belongings of th3 .row, and\nwhile this was being accomplished the\nmatter was soon noised inroad and a\ngood crowd gathered. Many were the\nexclamations of disgust at the conduct of such dastardly deceivers. The\nwomen In the crowd cried out for\nthe Germans to be handed over to\ntbe women of Gravesend. Ihay would\nBottle the matter. The-men invited\nUiem to be sent to Croo.ted lane (a\nnotorious part of Gra\/esend) where\nthey colli! be Used up, while a little\nBelgian boy of about three years of\nnge on his father's shoulders made\ngrimaces at tbe Germans and cried\nout ia broken English, raising his\nlist at them, \"Moonkeys, Moonkeys!\"\nRING OF STEEL.\nTo carry out their plan of deception this innocent-lcoking crew of a\nRed Cross ship were all wearing large\nRed Cross bands on their left arms,\nund one infuriated marine went up\nto one of the Germans and tore ofl\nthe badge he was apparently bo dls\ngracing. However, an officer intervened and the badge was restored\nwith thc customary salutes on both\nsides.\nThe luggage being disposed of, the\nofficers and crew were carefully formed up with a line of fixed l.a\/unetB\non either side and officers-and police\nin front and around. It was well for\ntbe Germans the steel was shining,\nfor the temper of the Gravesend people gathered there was hot and the\ndestination of the Germans might\nhave been altered.\nThe booing and shouting aB tbe\nmarch started was certainly enough\nto appal a small compnny, and evidently the Germans were most uncomfortable. Their faces blanched\nwhite at the outskirts of nnger and\nif one could judge correctly they\nwere expecting to get the deserts\nthey so richly merited. Ab it was, a\ncivilian, carried away by his fee! n .s,\nbroko into tbe rrnks to do damage,\nhut was expelled. Another of the\ncrowd, poiuting to one of tbe crew\nyelied out something about Tottenham court road which so enraged ihe\nGerman sailor that he was oa tha\ni'olnt of breaking out to light the civilian when one of his comrades\ncaught his arm and held him back.\nCaught, humiliated, disgraced,\ncrestfallen ond an object of scorn,\nthis party eventually arrived at the\nCentral station and were entrained\nfor  Chatham.\nThe greatest sources of loss are\nfrom allowing ths liquid portion to\ndrain oil, from leaching by ruin, and\nfrom heat.ng and fermt.nl ation.\nThe liquid is much more valuable\nin plant food per pound than the\nsolid. In cow man .re the total liquid portion is about the same aB\nthe total solid portion. Yet im.ny\nfarmers arrange their atall.es to\ndrain ofl the liquid. Don't do It. In\nthis way from $10 to $15 worth of\nfertility, per cow, can be lost annually,\nWhere possible, the manure should\nbe spread on the field ra made.
