He had also\nbeon a mining engineer with concerns\nIn San Francisco, Boston and New\nYork. Both were ex-Canadians who\nhad large business interests. Neither\nor them were Interested in black fox\nstock, ho declared, which Foster was\nselling at that time. Keever, he said,\nhad come to Ottawa from Kentvllle,\nFoster's home in Kings county. Keever was merely an acquaintance. He\ndid not know whero ho had met him\nbefore. It might have been a year\nbefore and he thought he had been\nIntroduced to him by Woodsworth.\nTho latter had been with Mr. Foster\nwhen the subject ot buying horses In\nNova Scotia had been first broached\nby Col.

It's the most contemptible steal ever pulled oft in Canada,\"\ndeclared Mr. Carvell. As to the connection of Mr. McKay, secretary of\nthe chief government whip in tho\ncommons, with the purchasing of\nhorses, Mr. Foster disclaimed any responsibility. McKay had been em-\nPloyed by Keever and it was Keever\nwho had paid McKay $150 for his expenses. Keever did) not charge anything for any outlays he had made\nand had been given nothing by Mr.\nFoster for expense account.\n\"Do you believe Keever gave McKay $150 out of his own pocket and\nnever .got anything back for It?\" asked Mr. Carvell.\n\"I believe he did.\"\nTook Word for It.\nAsked as to how he had made up\nhis statement for Col.

He declared that he would\nnot like to swear that he had knowledge of every one of the receipts\nwhich the two men had, but he would\nguarantee that the total was all right.\n'He had never had any conversation\nwith any of the men about profits,\nhe said. 'He had not discussed the\nquestion with McKay since the case\ncame before the committee, although\nMcKay had been around; the house\nevery day.

This\nquestion was asked hy the man in the\nstreet because Sit* William does not\nwork.in the limelight. He is not to\nhe found in the fllgbting-line\u2014ftl-\nthough' in past campaigns lie has done\nhis share\u2014directing artillery and infantry; and yet he is one of the most\nimportant men in the army, for is he\nnot \"the man behind the grub?\" as\nTommy has wittily put it.\nTho phrase exactly describes Sir\nWilliam's work in this great war, for\nit is he who is responsible lor the\nfeeding of the army; and the fact\nthat there has been nothing hut praise\nfor.his superb management of tho\ncommissariat, is eloquent, testimony to\ntho way ho has done his work.\nUndoubtedly one of the secrets of\nSir William's success, particularly in\nregard to organization and transport,\nis duo to tho fact that he knows ex-\nnctly what \"Tommy\" wants; for lie\nhas been a \"Tommy\" himself His\ncareer, indeed, is a veritable romance\nof the a'rmy, for he has risen from the\nranks. Thirty-seven yiears aso Sir\nWilliam, who is a native of Lincoln*\nshire, came to the conclusion that tho\nwork of a servant offered little scopo\nfor his ublll'bles. Thereupon he en\nlisted in the 10th, lancers. A raw\nrecruit of Ut, there seemed little possibility at that time that he would\nono day be director of military training' at, the war office, command tho\nstaff college where our \"cracks\" aro\ntrained, and ultimately obtain his\npresent position of chief of staff.\nLike Col. St. .lohn Lane Harrington, Gen: Chaffee of tbo United States\narmy, Sir Hector Macdonald, the lato\nMajor-Gen. Sir Luke O'Connor, V.C.;\nMajor Dauncey of the famous Inn's*\nictillngs, and other well known \"rankers;\" Sir William threw himself heart\nand soul into his profession, although\nU was not until 1SRS, 10 years after\nho enlisted, that he was recommended\nfor a commission, which he got in\ntbe 3rd Dragoon, guards.\nEven then he might, never have\nbeen more than a captain had he not\nseized his great chance, when, in\n1891, ho was appointed railway\ntransport officer in connection with\nthe puiritive expedition to quell a\nturbulent tribe of Pathans who were\nplundering the Miranzai valley. The\nsplendid work ho did on this expedition marked him for curly promotion,\nind he fully realized the hopes of his\nfriends In tlie Ohitral expedition,\nwhen he served as field intelligenco\nofficer.\nIt was during this expedition that\nSir William Robertson had.his narrowest escape from death. His zeal\nled him to lide forward without, bis\nGurkha guard', and, his sword being\nIn tho way, be handed it over to a\nPallKin guide', who Was riding with\nhim, going himself a, little ahead of\nthe man. The next, thing he knew\nwas that, two shots were tired at. him,\none of them passing under his arm\nand neatly clipping off his horse's\near. Turning round, he saw that the\nPathan who was guiding him had\nfired the shots and the next moment\nthe traitor charged htm and lilt him\nover the head with his. own sword.\nRobertson grappled with his opponent, but. nbt|Clhg two' other Indian\ntribesmen, who seemed to appear\nfrom nowhere, rushing forward to attack him. he was obliged to let his\nman go und bent a rotreat to his\n(\"urklu! guard, which was some three\nor four hundred yards In the rear.\nA medal and chips, the P.S.O. and\nmention in despatches were. Robertson's reward for his work in the Chl-\ntral expedition, and when tbe South\nAfrican war broke out. it was acknowledged that he was the one man for\nthe job of attending to the transport\nof food and troops. How he organ\nlzed their departure remains a wonder tn this day, and although some\nulcered at the idea of a \"ranker\" successfully holding such a position, It\nwas recognized by the army general\nly, when the war office appointed\nhim .commandant of the staff college\n\u2014one of the most sought after billets\nin the army\u2014that it was but a just\nreward lor the man who is contributing so enormously to the success Of\nour troops in Flanders.\nSays He Does Not Believe He Could\nHave Liyed Differently\u2014Credited\n,n'Arf'.

Such a\nresulL is not impossible, despite past\nfailures. Thin peop|(. aro victims of\nmal-nutrltlon, a condition which prevents the fatty elements of food from\nbeing taken up 'by tbo blood as they\nare when the powers of nutrition are\nnormal.

A. O'Farrell.)\nLONDON.\u2014From the beginning of\nthis awful war I have repeatedly asserted that Its termination would sec\nthe birth of a new and better world.\nThe kaiser and his military clique\nmade this war. Austria and the Haps-\nburga are catspaws. The mercrants,\nmanufacturers and hankers of Germany and Austria as well as the farmers and laborers are not guilty of the\nblood and crimes of this atrocious war.\nIt Is true they became imbued with\nthe idea that Germanic civilization and\nrule should dominate the world. The\nsychophants In the press and in the\nuniversities wero working overtime to\nprove Teutonic and Hohenzollern supremacy in arms and statesmanship,\nand the prospect of race aggrandisement corrupted the ideals and morals\nof all the Germanic nations. The\nMagyars became equally guilty and\nthey will have to pay dearly with the\nother German states.\nBut it will take long to convince tho\nGerman states that the world must be\nrid forever of the Hapeburgs and the\nHohenzollern-s. The kaiser is just as\ninsane today as Napoleon was after\nthe retreat from Moscow and he will\nprolong this war till Germany Is utterly prostrate. There Is no such a\nthing as public opinion in Austria or\nGermany. There Is blind worship of\ntheir rulers, nothing more and their\nrulers will fight on- to the bitter end,\nor till all their resources are exhausted Thus the lives and happiness of\n120,000,000 of people are playthings\nfor a mad kalsor and a senile old man\nwho ought to 'have been confined for\n20 years past In a home for the feeble\nminded.\nGermany had, and has a marvellous\nwar machine but the hand on the\nthrottle of the machine la the hand of\na madman and the end is Inevitable\nruin and woe. It is better so, for out\nof the utter ruin will come a new and\nchastened German people, who will be\nrid forever from autocrats and mad\ndreams of conquest and power.\nMany New Nations,\nOut of tho war will also 'be born a\nnew Poland, restored to self government and development along lines of\nits own ideals. There will also be a\nnew Italy, a new Greece, a new Rumania and the restoration of Constantinople to the Christian world. France\nshall have her lost provinces restored,\nand the lost Danish provinces shall be\ngiven' back to tho motherland. The\nGermany confederacy will havo to be\nhelped to its feet so that its people\ncan liquidate the debts Germans will\nowe to Beigil m. Germany has destroyed \u00a32,000,000,000 of Belgium's\nwealth, and capitalizing the restitution\nwhich the Germans must make even at\n3 per cent, we have a tribute of \u00a360,-\n000,000 a year which Germans must\npay to Belgium for ever.\n'It Is a big price to pay for the antics\nof a mad kaiser and a senile and irresponsible Hapshurg.\nLoyal Ireland.\nNothing 1ms amazed England and\ntouched her so profoundly as the manner In which Ireland has acted in this\ncrucial hour of her existence. The\nConnaughts, the Munsters, the Leins-\nters and the Irish Guards have rendered Incredible and unparalleled services to the Empiro on the battlefields\nof France and Belgium. Since the\nworld began there has been nothing\nlike It Once, when the Gordons were\ndecimated and surrounded by hordes of\nHuns, above the roar of 'battle they\ndreamed they heard the soft Hit of\n\"God Save Ireland\" floating In the air.\nStronger and stronger It grew till at\nlast thero burst through the serried\nranks of the Germans a column of\nConn-aught rangers that scattered and\ncrushed and tore the Huns to pieces\nlike raging lions scattering and devouring tholr pray. Nothing could\nwithstand the fury and madness of\nthat wild Irish hand rushing to the\nrescue of the Gordons. One redheaded Irishman, mad with the fury\nof battle, broko his rifle levelling the\nfoes and he snatched a sword from a\nGcrmun officer and then waded\nthrough the ranks of the Huns, cutting,\nhacking, killing, slaying till at last\nwherever he appeared, like Bayard of\nold, tho Germans fled In terror and\nthousands were chased across the field\nby handfuls of heroic Irish Louder\nthan tlie Connaughts the Gordons are\nnow singing \"God Save Ireland.\"\nMichael O'Leary bus his Victoria\nCross, but the name of the Connaught\nof tho flaming hair, who so effectively\nused a German sword, Is as yet unknown.\nIreland Has Made Good.\nIt Is utterly impossible to conceive\nthat there can be any serious trouble\nover tho proper form of the new Irish\nparliament at tho conclusion of the\nwar. Ireland has made good, and will\nmake good. She has taken her place\nin the forefront of the hattie for the\npreservation of tho British Empire and\nthe preservation too of the liberty and\ncivilization of tho world.\nThere can be no doubt that this war\nwill result in fusing and solidifying the\nEmpire Into a grander and more harmonious whole. The 3,000,000 Britlsh-\nors under arms are being trained and\ndisciplined and fed and care for as\nnever were soldiers before in war, and,\nman for man, they far excel the German soldiers. France and Russia and\nBelgium are doing splendidly, and aro\nall being uplifted and ennobled by the\nsacrifices of this war, but tho soldiers\nand sailors of the British Empire are\nsurpassingly magnificent. In a year\nthese magnificent men will return to\ncivil life. They will leaven the social,\nindustrial and commercial life of Great\nBritain and Ireland as it has never\nbeen leavened before. There must,\nthereforo, be a new England, new\nScotland and a new Ireland.\nIn a recent artlclo I pointed out that\nwhile the food supply of the world\nwas yearly proving Inadequate to the\ndemand, the people of the English\nspeaking world could not bo roused to\nthe seriousness of supplying a remedy\nfor what is in fact a worldwide shortage in food supply.\nSixty -per cent of the population of\nIreland and 30 per cent of the people\nof Great Britain are underfed. One\nmain reaspn why It took Kitchener's\narmies so long to fit was that the vast\nmajority! were underfed wheln, they\njoined the colors. Under proper feeding and lodging they have become the\nbest and most efficient soldiers the\nworld has ever seen. These men after\ntho wnr are not g\u00ablng hack to the old\nconditions. There must be better feeding ami better housing for them and\nfor their wives and children for evermore. In the British Isles the average\nwarge for the farm laborer doeH not\nequal 14s a week. The coal or lead\nminer In Canada gots that much per\nday. It is utterly Impossible for a\nworking man to feed, clothe and house\nhimself properly, and be an efficient\nworkman on 2s a day. Farm labor is\nthe most essential labor to a nation.\nFarm labor feeds and clothes the wojfld\nand the world is running short of wool,\nand leather, and meat, and bread, and\nbutter, and fruit, and milk because\nfarm labor was vilely remunerated in\nGreat Britain and Ireland. Farm lahor\nshould he held in honor and the laborer should have a full, adequate\nsupply of wholesome food for himself\nand family. He and his should be\ndecently and comfortably housed and\nbecause he has not 'been the United\nKingdom is now importing \u00a3200,000,-\n000 worth of food products that could\nbe produced in the British Isles more\neconomically than in any other country\nin tho world.\nHad to Migrate,\nFancy a people as sensible as the\nEnglish and Scotch paying yearly to\nfarmers of other countrios \u00a3200,000,-\n000 for 'beef, and bacon, and eggs, and\nbutter, and vegetables, and wool, and\nleather, and other farm products, all\nof which could be produced at home\nwere British and Irish farms properly\ntilled and cultivated. The laborer was\nnot considered worthy of his hire on\nEnglish and Irish farms, and conse\nquently he emigrated or migrated and\nconsequently, too, English and Irish\nfarms are less and less productive.\nGermany had last summer 25,000,\n000 hogs, Great Britain and Ireland\nhad 5,000,000. Ireland used to produce\ndouble the hog products it produces\nnow. It used to feed twice the present\npopulation and export more than now.\nIreland's exports, mostly food products,\nequalled last year about \u00a370,000,000.\nThoy could easily bo increased to\n\u00a3200,000,000 were Irish lands properly\ndrained and cultivated. Ireland could\nexcel the world in tho production of\neggs, poultry, bacon, beef, mutton and\nvegetables, were her fields proporly\ndrained and tilled, and her people sufficiently skilled In butter making, live\nstock breeding and gardening. The\nIrishman properly trained is the most\nefficient workman in the world. He\nIs quick, he is Initiative and he Is ambitious to excel. But he is not properly trained and his ambition and his\nInitiative are blasted 'because his training and education are In the hands of\nofficials who are completely out of\nsympathy with him and with his wants.\nThe primary, secondary and techni'\nfill schools of Ireland and the universl\n\u25a0ties, aro controlled not by men of -business but by place hunters and tuft\nhunters. There are magnificent schools\nIn Ireland, like Artane and Our Lady's\n(Mount, Cork, or the Alexandra college, Dublin, schools that rival the finest in the world. But these ure not\nrun by place hunters and tuft hunters,\nbut by most efficient educators. The\ngovernment is giving vast sums for\neducation and agriculture, but the administration is entrusted to hoards\nwhich consist mostly of fossils and In*\nefficients.\nAnd this explains why the exports of\nIreland are only \u00a370,000,000 yearly\nInstead of \u00a3200,000,000. There are\nsome 3,000,000 acres of Irish land water\nlogged and useless that could be producing luxurious crops of grain, fruit\nor vegetables were the same land in\nFrance, Belgium or Germany. There\nare 5,000,000 acres more that could\nyield three or four times the crops\nthey now yield were they properly\ndrained and tilled and cultivated. The\nGermans can raise 15 tons of potatoes\nto the aero on land far Inferior to Irish\nland producing only 6 tons to the acre\nand all because the Germans know\nhow to drain and till and cultivate the\nfields, and drainage Is a lost art in\nIreland.\nTwo crying and overpowering wants\nIn Ireland are drainage and transportation. The whole island Is water\nlogged, cold and unhealthy because\nthe rivers and 'brooks and rivulets\nhave been allowed to fill up with silt\nand weeds and the channels are utterly Inadequate to carry off the water of\nthe surplus ruins.\nCried in Vain.\nFor nearly 100 years every man of\nscientific knowledge In Ireland has\nbeen pointing out the need of a great\nsystematic scheme of main drainage,\nbut they have cried In vain and there-\nforo 60 per cent of tho Irish people\nare underfed and Ireland's exports are\nonly \u00a370,000,000 instead of $200,000,\n000 yearly. Great Britain is sending\n\u00a3130,000,000 a year to Belgium and\nto South America, to Holland or to\nFranco for butter, meats, eggs and\nvegetables that ought to be bought In\nIreland. Lot Irish rivers be deepened\nfrom the sea right to the interior and\nlet the silt taken from these rivers\nhe utilized to turn slob and marsh and\nbog into gardens and pasturos and then\nlet the fields of Ireland 'be properly\ndrained and cultivated and as certainly\nas day follows night Ireland can 'be\nmade the richest and most prolific agricultural country In the world. The\nrivers will become commercial highways, with cheap water transportation,\ntillage and plowed fields will replace\nthe marsh and flelus now covered with\npools of water and rushes will be gardens und meadows. Belgium has but\n35 per cent the area of Ireland, its\nsoil and climate are Inferior, but Us'\nlands aro drained, Its water courses\nare made Into canals and its exports\nwero some \u00a3200,000,000 until Huns\nblasted its highly cultivated fields and\ngardens.\nGive Ireland the scientific und in\ndustrlal training which her people so\nsadly need, give her up to date methods\nof agrlcutture and transportation and\nshe will increase her food production\nso as to export \u00a3250,000,000 worth of\nfarm produce.\nEngland and the Empire are now\nwaging implacable warfare on Prussian militarism. The empire must\nwage a still more Implacable and\nruthless war against Insanitary slums,\nand against hunger, and disease and\ndrunkenness. 'More people perish prematurely In these islands from disease\nbred by dirt and cold and hunger and\nrags and drunkenness than will bo\nslain in the war. It Is awful to think\nof it but it is still more awful to al\nlow such conditions to continue, The\nmen mure of a nation's progress Is the\nhealth and efficiency of its people.\nPeople1 cannot be efficient who are\n\u25a0badly; housed, ill-fed, dirty, and untrained. .Russia has doubled the efficiency of her people by putting a complete stop to the drinking of alcoholic\nbeverages. Ireland can increaso the ef-\nficieney and wealth of her people fourfold through scientific and industrial\ntraining, through hygiene, sanitary\nreformation and the proper clothing\nand feeding of her people. Her farms\nand waste lands can be made to produce an additional \u00a3200,000,000 for the\nmarkets of England and Scotland Sufficient an dwholesomo food, warm and\nsufficient clothing, sufficient fuel and\nsunshine and decent, healthy homes\nwill mage Irish workmen tho most efficient in the world, with of course,\nscientific knowledge and industrial\ntraining. The food used in Ireland\ntoday by the working people and by\nthe school children is insufficient and\nunwholesome. Tho staple food Is white\nbread, and a sweetened drug called\ntea. A villainous beet sugar, a little\nlard, and Danish butter, and a little\nmeat on Sundays, are the luxuries of\nIrish workmen.\nMilk and fruit and vegetables arc\nluxuries, with the fatal result of abnormal fevers, tuberculosis, pneumonia\nand cancer. Fancy thousands of child\nren all over Ireland that never wore a\nshoe or stocking or never stood in a\nhouse with proper flooring. Fancy\ntens of thousands of children who\nnever had a full meal nor proper clothing by day or night, nor a bath, nor a\ncomfortable fireside and you will be\ngin to realize how some 50,000 Irish\nchildren die yearly whose lives could\nhave been saved were they properly\nfed and clothed and housed. The\nslums In Belfast and Dublin and Kll-\nlarney and Limerick are moro deadly\nthan those of the East End or those\nof Naples.\nNeither England nor Ireland nor the\nEmpire will tolerate these things after\nthe war. Starvation and rags and unsanitary conditions are more deadly\nthan war, and It is time to end them.\nInefficiency In education, in industrial training and in scientific agriculture are blasting the progress of the\nEnglish speaking world, but nowhere\nare they more flagrant than in Ireland. Ireland alone can increase to\nthe tune of \u00a3250,000,000 her yearly\nproduction of food, wool and hides\nand leather. She has all the raw material to do it but inefficiency la science, In Industrial training, in food and\nfuel, in clothing and in sanitary housing of the people blast the best pro\nJects for the development of the Irish\npeople,\nI do not favor any wild attempt to\ngrow sugar, or tobacco, or cotton, or\nmaise, or to extend the growth of\nwheat in these islands. Far more pro-\nfltable is it to multiply the production\nof beef, mutton, pork, milk, butter,\neggs, poultry, vegetables and suitable\nfruits. Tho Empire has in Canada the\ngreatest wheat fields of the world. Out\nthere In her northwestern prairies are\ntwo hundred million acres of the finest\nwheat lands basking In the sunlight\nand only waiting to he ticked with a\nhoe to burst Into a harvest of golden\ngrain. Great Britain and Ireland can\nsafely let Canada supply the wheat.\nCanada's prairies are the granary of\nthe Empire and her marvellous system\nof railways enables her farmers to ship\nwheat and oats to English markets at\nless cost than Irish farmers can do it\nfor. The Canadian Pacific girdles the\nearth by rail and steamboat and somehow that railway manages to grow rich\nbringing apples from Okanogan and\nKootenays to Covent Garden, or oats\nfrom Saskatchewan to .Leeds at less\ncost than from County Armagh to London or Leeds. This is an amazing anomaly but it Illustrates how far behind Ireland is in up to date methods\nof production and transportation\nI cannot but think that this ruthless\nwar will arouse the British Empire to\na realization of her deplorable weakness In agricultural development, in\nscientific\" training, in efficiency, in\neducation and in transportation. Germany achieved colossal efficiency in\nagriculture, in chemistry. In all round\nindustrial thoroughness. Every school\nchild was made efficient al something.\nIt did not matter at what provided tbe\nchild acquired efficiency in some subject or trade or art and glories In it.\nThey were a nation of splendid efficients till a mad kaiser flung them\ninto the vortex of war. It was pitiful\nto lead a nation of such splendid efficients to overwhelming disaster but\nthis war will help to make England,\nand Ireland and America efficient nations too. The world will never again\ndespise scientific knowledge, scientific 'banking and finance and thoroughness in education and in Industrial\ntraining.\nGermany before and after Waterloo\nwas a poor, barren, unproductive and\nnon-manufacturing agglomeration of\nstates. Prussia was the poorest and\nmost unproductive of all. What a marvellous object lesson her achievements\nsince then. Her resources were mobilized Into credits that enabled her to\nfinance her schools, her agriculture,\nher manufacturing and her commerce.\nTho science or art of financing was\nthe greatest thing ever made la Germany. It has been the chief weapon\nenabling hor to wago a mighty war\nagainst the greatest and richest nations ever known. Tho British people\ncan justly loath\u00a9 the politics and un\nscrupulous ambitions of Germany, but\nthey can admire ond copy their genius\nfor scientific finance, and Industrial\norganization and thoroughness. The\nworld will never be the samo again.\nThe whole population of the earth will\nDON'T WASH YOUR\nHAIR WITH SOAP\nWhen you wash your hair don't\nuse soap.

Thoy used to set\nflro to the prairies and then the buffalo would como north. I have soon\nthem in millions on the plains. The\nIndians would stalk tho buffalo on\nhorseback, and, then shout what they\nwanted\u2014throwing a knife or blanket\nbeside the carcass to denote ownership. Then tho squaw or squaws\u2014\nlor a good hunter always had inure\nthaw one\u2014would come along in carts,\nwhich hold their lares and penatos,\nand skin the buffalo, and bring to tholr\nencampment tho best pieces of the\nmeat. That was their solo food, for\nthe wild Indians grew nothing. Thoy\nmight cat wild parsnips, some of tho\nvarieties of which are very poisonous.\nThat was their life until the buffalo\ndisappeared; and the buffalo disappeared a little moro quickly on the\nAmerican side oid account of the\nbounty offered for killing them.\nCITY S HEALTH COOD,\nSAYS HEALTH OFFICER\nKnows No Case of Infectious Disease\n\u2014Discounts Some Retorts\u2014\nMilk Satisfactoiy\nIn his quarterly report, submitted to\nthe council last night, the medical\nhealth officer, Dr, E.
