Assist   Materially in Rapid Advance of British\nin Mesopotamia\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nNEW YORK, March 8.\u2014The Associated Press tonight sent out the following from New York:\n\"The British advance ln Mesopotamia, which has covered more ground\nin a short period than almost any\nother movement of the war, has beer\nassisted materially by extensive defections of tho native tribes from\nTurkish rule, according to private\nmail advices received in New York\nfrom Asiatic Turkey. Last month the\nTurks apparently wore entrenched\nsecurely on the Tigris below Kut-el-\nAmara, where they had hold the British since tho capture of Gen. Town-\nshend's army at Kut. The new offensive on the Tigris has developed with\nsuch speed that, since the recapture\nof Kut on Feb. 26, the British have\nadvanced nearly 100 miles and are\nnow within a few miles of Bagdad.\n\"This has been made possible, it is\nnow reported, by the fact that the\nTurkish troops are menaced not only\nby the British but by strong forces ot\nArabs, organized by the British ns\ntheir allies. A communication from\nIrak states that, as a result ot tho\naction of the grand sherif of Mecca\nseveral months ago in declaring independence of Ottoman rule, various\nBedouin tribes have put away their\nold enmities and united. Peace has\nbeen made between the Emir Arab, or\nRowleh, from near Damascus urtd\nHakim Ibn Mahld Hakim, Emir of thc\ngreat Anseh tribe in the vicinity ot\nAleppo.\nUnite to Fight-Turks\n\"These two powerful men havo\nunited, for one thing, a troop of\nhorsemen to fight the Turks, nnd have\nIssued a proclamation to their followers calling for men and equipment. In\npreparation for actual warfare they\nwere supplied*, jyith \"drill mooters, presumably British, who- effected the\norganization of an Arab fighting unit.\n.Tffrey ire* possessed of tt gnat, quan-\nifjty of arms- ani-l aMnat\u00bbtflon of tin;\nlatest type!

This covenant\nof peace means the union of two tribes\nwhich have beon bitter enemies for\nhundred ot years. Now the Emirs are\nstudying modern warfare together that\nthoy may rid their lnnd of Turkish\nrule.\nAnnounces Submission\n\"It is also asserted that the great\nand powerful Sheikh Khnzal Khan has\nsent a deputation to the Sherlf Suleiman I., king of Ilejaz, announcing his\ncooperation and submission, as well as\nhis readiness to respond to a call for\nmen and money. It Is believed that\nan offensive and defensive treaty has\nbeen made between him and the Emir\nof Kuweit, Shlekh Jabir lbn Mabarak\nEl Subah. If this report Is true, it\nmeans that othor important tribes\nwill rally to this movement, Inaugurated by two really powerful men.\n\"That the new order Is producing\nresults Is shown in a surprise attack\nof 1500 horsemen of the new forces\nmado on the soldiers guarding tbe\ncamels the Turkish government had\npurchased preparatory to the attack\non the Suez cannl as well as to help\nIn putting down the Arab revolt. The\nattacking party hnd been led to believe there wero largo forces of Turks\nnear, but Instead the guard was overpowered, BO being killed and tbe others\nfleeing, leaving 4000 camels behind as\nbooty for tho Arabs.\"\nTHE HAGUE, March 0.\u2014Germany\nhns assured the Dutch government of\nthe safety of shipping through the\nNorth Sea channel west of Denmark.\n\\RIVILEGE IS GRANTED\nRETURNED SOLDIERS\n\u25a0en, Advantage of Day in Matter of\n1 Applying for Homesteads Reopened for Entry\nJ (By Daily NeWs Leased Wire.)\n\u25a0Tf AWA, Maroh 9.\u2014Returned soil's are to be given advantage of ono\nin connection with the making of\nllicatlons for .homesteads which\nle been' reopened   for   homestead\nIn order In council just passed\nles that from and after a date to\n\u25a0named by the minister of the in-\nlor, wherever any Dominion lands\nlomo available for entry after huv-\nT been advertised or posted accordn\nIto the provisions of the Dominion\nads act as amended and of any\nJulntlons thereunder, a period of ono\nIce day shall be allowed, iminedt-\nly following the. expiration of the\n|n of advertising or posting, dur-\n1 ithe office hours of which date the\n[it of tpaklnr entry for such Do -\nlion lands shall be restricted to re-\nTried soldiers who have served over-\nj during thepresent war with the\nlltary   or   naval   foroes  of  Great\nBritain or with any of thc allies of\nGreat Britain, who have\" been honorably discharged therefrom and who\nare present tn person at the office of\nthe local ngent for the district for tho\npurpose of making entry.

J. Bowser by (Mon, John Oliver,\nminister'of railways, In the legislature\nthis afternoon when the minister moved for a committee of Inquiry into the\nPacific Great Eastern affairs. He proposed a committee of five Liberals and\nthree Conservatives. Repeating statements made during the general election campaign, Mr. Oliver doclarcd that\nthe action of tho late government, in\npreventing the close down of construction work on the railway-when the war\nbroke out by releasing proceeds of\nguaranteed bond issues before they\nshould technically have been released,\nwas a criminal breach of the statutes\nfor which Mr. Bowser should havo been\nIndicted,\nTho lengths to which the minister\nwent in his attacks on thc ex-premier\nappeared to surprise the house and\ntwice Mr. Oliver was called down by\nSpeaker \"Weart and asked to observe\nthe rules of debate.\nCapt W. H. Hfcyward, soldier mom-\nber for Cowlchan, urged that tho question bo taken out of politics by un Inquiry by a royal commission.\nMr. Oliver declared Mr. Bowser had\ntold the peoplo that the railway would\nnot cost them a cent and that the fact\nthat the province was paying nearly\na. million a year In interest*proved that\nwhat- he said wns untrue. He said\nthat tho statutes pi-ovlded that* the\nmoney was to be paid out In proportion\nto the work done and that he hod disobeyed it. The company, he stated,\nhad not put up its sharo of money,\nwhile part of the drawback hud been\nImproperly released to Foley, Welch\n8c tSewart.\nTo save the contractors from going\nbankrupt, Mr. Bowser hnd preferred to\nPractically bankrupt the province, said-\nMr. Oliver. Last session, he continued,\nMr. Bownor had been charged with an\noffense under the criminal code, and\n\"as a matter of fact, should have been\nIndicted for It.\" He asserted that\n$5,700,000 had been paid out illegally\nand that P. Welch, contractor for the\nline, had received excessive prices for\nwork. \"The circumstances point to\ncriminal collusion between the parties,\"\nsaid Mr. Oliver, returning to his attack on Mr. Bowser. He concluded\nwith the statement that an Inquiry into\ntho work of Foley, Welch & Stewart\nwould make British Columbia an unsatisfactory sphere of bporfftions for\n\"scoundrels who made their living at\nthe expense of the common people.\"\nCapt. \u2022 Hayward, In moving his\namendment for an Inquiry by a royal\ncommission composed of one supreme\ncourt judge and two railway engineers\nof national reputation, said he was\nconvinced an inquiry should be held.\nBut ho was convinced that no good\nPurpose could be accomplished if the\nInvestigation were a political one.\nMembers of the house were representatives of parties, elected by politics,\nand thoy were not the men to give thc\npeople a true account ol' a political\nquestion of this kind. When thc house\nheard Mr. Oliver use terms such as\n\"criminal intent,'' \"untrue,\" \"Illegal,\"\n\"Irresponsible'' and then called Foley,\nWelch & Stewnrt \"scoundrels,\" the\nlegislature had no right to ask any of\nIts members to deal with such a question. It shotdd be taken out of politics by the appointment of a royal\ncommission. If a political committee\ngave a decision one side would believe\nIt and the other side would not and\nthe publio would be no better off.\nMr. Oliver disapproved of a non-\npolitlcal commission. He said it would\ncause delay and that judges after the\nGait caso were loath to act any way.\nW. R. Ross will continue the debate\nMonday.\nSOB.

It was the first division of the session, and came after\nR. H. Pooley, for the Conservatives,\nand J. W. Debeque Farrie for tho Liberals had closed the debate.\nMr. Pooley argued that the whole\npurpose of the amendments was to\ngive to the minister ef railways, Mr.\nOliver, a weapon which no minister\nshould possess. It would permit him,\nsaid the member for Esquimau, to\nhold over any railroad a threat of making public Information which the Dominion and all other provinces\nheld to be confidential and expressly\nprovided should be confidential.

Those who can pay for it do so\u2014those\n* who cannot are fed anyway. As the proportion of the\n7,000,000 hungry Belgians who cannot pay is steadily\ngrowing, this means a heavy demand on the generosity\nof Canada, Great Britain and the United States.\nSo tar, with splendid gifts of flour and money, Canada has done her\nshare. Now, in the face of urgent need, the Belgian Relief Commission\nb sending out another call. Besides the growing demand for flour,\nthere Is now pressing need for condensed milk for Belgian babies. This\ncall comes right home to those of us who are living in comfort and\nprosperity\u2014who have made no real sacrifices cither to help along the\nwar or to aid its victims.\nA subscription of f z. 50 t month, in the hands of the wonderfully\nefficient Belgian Relief Commission, will provide bread for one Belgian\nfamily, and save their lives!

These superstitions\naro speedily introduced into civil life\nund London is rapidly becoming one bl\nthe most superstitious cities In tho\nworld. *Jt would seem, almost, that.\nevery man homo on leave has a new\nparcel of things that must be done or\nmust not be done to avoid trouble.\nProbably the most generally accepted superstition is that of UHinfe one\nmatch to light three cigarettes. It\nSimply must not be done. .The non-\ncombatants are every whit us superstitious in this respect as the soldiery.\nIt Ik a crime almost for anyone to\nlight thc cigarettes of two companions\nwith thc match he tuts just used tu\nlight his own. Try it iu London or\nany place whore Englishmen or Soldiers are found and the of lending\nmatch will be knocked from your hand.\nThe chaps from the trenches say\nthat the lighting of throe cigarettes\nwith one match means the speedy\ndeath of one, If not all three of the\ngroup, and they will cite you n hundred and one. instances to prove their\ncontention. They will toll you oT ah\nInstance lost fall near St. Elol. A\ngroup ot nun were billeted in a house\nback from the battle line.

Two\nhours later the first shell lu weeks\nstruck tho billet aud when tho Tommies had X'Xlrlcuted themselves from\nthe ruin they found that all but thc\nnewcomer from \"Blighty\" were safe.\nThc lighter of tho three cigarettes\nwith the one match hud been lis\nstantly killed.\nThere nfo many explanations for\nthis superstition, but probably the\nmost plausible is that of its being\nsymbolic of the three candles placed\nat the coffin of the dead. It hus been\nthe custom to place two at the head\nof the coffin and one at the foot. So\nfor generations In England and Ireland It hus been considered a bad\nomen to havo three burning lights in\na room.

The argument Is that turnips are not good for human food\nafter about thc middle of Marcll, and\nthat It Is therefore necessary to make\nfull use of them In order to Increase\nthe potato supply subsequent. Extraordinary appeals on this subject are\nbeing Issued to tho public. At Dus-\nneldorf, for Instance, the official potato offlco has published an eloquent\narticle containing passages liko the\nfollowing:\n\"Aro we to support- the authorities,\nor nro we, by our complaints, to increase their anxiety about thc people's food? Our comrades ln arms,\nour brothers ln the field, our glori-\nous army, are winning victory nftor\nvictory, In frost and snow, by Indescribable efforts, and by staking tholr\nlife for the fatherland, while the\nenemy, foaming with rage, sees his\nInst military trumps snatched out of\nhis hand. Meanwhile, hore among\nub the people grumble by their warm\nflresldos, becauses for quito a short\ntime 'they aro to cat turnips instead\nof potatoes. Do the people who thus\ngrumble, curse and threaten, understand what harm they are doing? In\nit clear to thom that thoy arc betraying our soldiers and robbing\nthem of the reward, of their glorious\ndeeds?\"\nThe appeal continues at length in\nthis strain, contrasting In every sentence the glories of victory find the\nunpopularity df turnips.\n>Mt\u00abHIH\u00bb\u00bb.ll-HH.MHH\u00bbW<l-HIIIIIIHIIIII \u00bb\u00bb...\u00ab\nKootenay andBbundart)\\\nIt com $5225.59 to maintain the soo\nnt Afminlholno park In Winnipeg lost\nJr-M-V : .\"   \u25a0 *\u25a0''''*'\u2022\u25a0- '\nRepresentatives ef Lumbermen Confer\nWith  Board of Trade oh '\nShortage Question\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nCRAN BROOK,, B. C., March 9.\u2014At\nthe regular meeting of the board of\ntrade, delegates representing the\nlumbermen in tho .district attended to\ndiscuss the labor shortage question.\nMr. Nisbet spoke re tho embargo on\nlabor from the United States and\nfavored petitioning thc government to\ntake stops .such as are being taken in\nthe prairie provinces to have the embargo removed. H. A. Mackowan,\nCranbrook Sash and Door company,\nfavored this suggestion. E. Home,\nBull River, advised getting ln touch\nwllh the various centres through their\nboards of trade, finding where surplus\nlabor is located and through the trans\nportullon companies have this surplus\ndisseminated through the centres\nwhere there is a. shortage. J. M\nChristie thought more Information\nshould lie gathered as to wages to be\npaid, amount of labor needed, etc., and\nto this end suggested n meeting with\nthe lumbermen and other large em\nploycrs of labor.\nMr. Heat tie reported a conversation\nhe had with Mr. Cram of Klmberley.\nMr, Cram stated that Ills company\npaid a little higher wage than the\nlumbermen for unskilled labor and had\nexperienced no trouble in getting what\ntbey wanted. But in the skilled class\nOf miners they wero under a disadvantage as their rates were lower than\nthose on tlie other side of the line and\nthey consequently had difficulty In\nfilling the demand.\nMr. Wurden reported that on his\nrecent visit to Calgary he had seen\nlots of men idle, whito at the same\ntime the farmers were looking for men\noffering $65 per month and board.\nDr. Green thought the recruiting\ncampaign had undoubtedly affected\nthe labor market as many laborers\nwere afraid of conscription. The only\nclass of labor at present exempt from\nenlisting was the miner, Rev. Mr.\nKeymorlh suggested trying to get use\nof tlie Information as accumulated by\nthe national service board.\nMessrs. Nisbet and Fink moved that\nthe matter be referred to tho legislation committee to canvass the situation both as regards the national service board und the embargo on labor.\nMr. McCrcery reported re engaging\na permanent secretary.

Zlmmormann writes as follows:\n\"It ia clear to me that we cannot an\nncx Canada, South Africa, Australia\nor Italy. But does not England in\nAfrica possess Nigeria, the Gold Coast\nBritish East Africa, Uganda and the\nSudan? It is England's policy to es\ntabllsh a great African empire. Afri\ncan mercenaries will defend India for\nher. These mercenaries far surpass\ntho Indians as sollders. Without thom\nEngland must tremble for India. So\nlong as England was not strong In\nAfrica Turkey was hor natural ally\nagainst Russia In thc defense of India,\nIt is only aftor her conquest of the\nSudan und the Boer republic that she\nhas become the enemy of Turkey.\n\"Should Englnnd lose this war she\nmust lose a portion, of her African possessions, especially those in Central\nAfrica. These lost portions must become a part of the great German\nAfrican empire. In addition, England\nmust be compelled to suitably Indem\nnify all foreign and colonial Germans\nwhom she has shamelessly robbed and\nthese Germans will be collected together ln tho great, closed German co-*\nIonlal empire. Thoy will become the\npowerful nucleus of a great, flourishing vice-Imperial empire in Central\nAfrica.\n\"Our demands from Belgium and\nFranco are a chapter ln themselves,\nwhich must bo kept apart from out-\ndemands from England. Wo must not\nexpect a great change tn tbo political\nsituation of thc world as a result of\nour permanent occupation of Belgium.\nThis great change can only como when\nEngland has been directly struck. But\nwe must remember that England's so-\ncalled policy of isolating and encircling\nGermany stands or falls with British\npower in Africa.\n''The Anglo-French arrangement pi'\nApril, 1904 by which eastern' and\nsouthern Africa to Franco, must be\nsmashed. Tho two western powers\nand especially England will be forced\nto adopt another attitude. In this way\nwe best accomplish tho principal object of the war\u2014tho prevention of\ncoalition against Germany.\nBasserman on Belgium.\nHerr Basserman is the parllmentary\nleader of tho National Llbernls, a vain\nnnd pompous Individual, with a fierce\nhatred toward England. Speaking of\nBelgium In tho Deutsche Stimmen, he\nsnys:\n\"It Is necessary for Gormany's security that we firmly hold Belgium in\nour hands militarily, and quite especially the line of the Mans, with Liege\nand Namur. In 1914 we were compelled\nto maroh through Belgium. As the imperial chancellor says, necessity knows\nno law. A repetition of thiB In futuro\nwars which are not Impossible, will\nbo avoided If Belgium Is militarily in\nGerman hands. \".'i'.l^>\t\nALADDIN\nWill be given in aid of Red Cross\nfunds at the hall, South Slocan, on\nSt. Patrick's eve, March 16, followed\nby a dance.\n\\dmission ......... ...........BOo\n\"The next point is the const of FIan-|\nders.

Ourl\ncolonies would then be lost, our world!\ntrade would be systematically destroy-r\ned by tho envious hucksters across thel\nchannel and the north const of Francel\nwould remain permanently In British!\nhands. If we do not succeed in retaln-f\ning the const of Flanders ns a str;ite-|\nglcal base for our fleet, and thus '\nplace of support for maritime under-l\ntakings against the 'English coast.f\nEngland's predominant position as\nsea power Is assured as the result of|\nthis war.\n\"In such an eventuality what profit\nwould there be in any resumption of\nour colonial policy? We would be\ncut off from our colonies, and are\nstuck firmly in our 'Wet Triangle'\nfor ever. England would lay her\nheavy hand on the coast of Flanders,\nund the means would be given Bel-T\nglum to develop the coastal defenses\nmuch as wo have developed the defenses of Zeebrugge. Flanders would\nbecome a bridgehead for England, and\nno treaty that we could make would\nprotect us, for the simple reason that\nthe unscrupulous Briton would not\nrespect It.\"\nHerr Bassermnn proceeds to pointl\nout how easy the blockade of thel\nestuary of the Thames would bel\nwere Flanders In the permanent pos-l\nsession of Germany. \"It Is only 701\nmiles distant.\" His conclusion is that!\nAntwerp must remain a German har*r\nbor, \"the natural port for our most!\nimportant Industrial dlstrlcts\/j\n\"Should Antwerp remain Belgian nof\nGerman could continue to live there!\nIt Is admitted by all Germans there!\nthat thc hatred of tho people would)\ndrive them away.\"\nPAPFS DIAPEPSIN\nFOR INDIGESTION OB\nIn five minutes!

The Ideals set up by\nthe school teacher remain very\nlargely the Ideals ot the pupil through-\n*\u2022> out life, and his conception ot patriotism will be what he haa been taught\nduring his school years. It la not too\nmuch to say that the present world\nwar is due to a difference of Ideals\nfostered by different systems of education.\nGreat as is the Importance of the\npublic school is old and well estab-\nlislied countries, this importance Is\neven greater in the new lands which\nare being called. upon to assimilate\npopulations from the more congested\ncountries. It is worthy of note that\nIn Western Canada, which may be\ncited as a case In point of a country\nwhich Is called upon to assimilate a\npopulation of many races. Some ot tbe\nmost strenuous political and constitutional fights have hinged upon tbe\nuyatems of public education. These\ntights, however, wero not without\ntheir purpose, and it Is out of them\nlias arisen a public school policy well\ncalculated to meet tbe needs of a new\nand rapidly growing country. In such\na country the public school has to\ntake on functions not usually associ-\nntod with It in tbe older and more\n' densely settled communities. The\nprairie schoolhouse Is uot merely a\ncentre ot education; it Is also the re.\nkiwi and aoslaKentre -of the district. During the Week days the\nicbool teacher lurotahaa education ta\nthe children ot the neighborhood, but\non Sunday the missionary holds his\nservices, which all attend regardlesa\nof creed or nationality, and on weak\nnights the building is used for meetings ot farmers, for the various community societies; for the Red Cross\nor Patriotic Club, and tor purely social evens such aa debates, coaoerta\nand dances. To facilitate the latter,\nit may bo noted that many country\nschooihouses use removable deeks\nwhich the willing hands of the farmers' boys quickly dispose of whenever\nthere Is a dance ln prospect.\nAnother phase of community work\nassociated with tbe rural school\nwhich has been coming Into prominence during tbe last few yean Is the\nsupply ot books to settlers ln ihe district. This work Is encouraged and\nassisted by the central Department of\nEducation, which provides catalogues\nol books suitable for such purposes,\nthe aotual selection being -left to- the\nteacher. The number of books allot-\nM te a scbeel district la kaasd ami\nthe report of the inspector of schools.\nIn tbe Province ot Alberta, although\nthis school library movement is\nonly in Ita Infancy, no less than\n110,000 books were supplied tor\nthis purpose last year, at a cost\not some 130,000.00. Educationists\nof the province look forward to\nthe time when every school district will be a library centre, glv.\nIng to tbe settlers the facilities now\nafforded to residents of cities and\ntowns through their public libraries.\nThe prosperity which bas almost overwhelmed rural Alberta in the last two\nyears, when termers have'been reaping enormous crops and selling them\nat the highest ngurss in history,\npromises to contribute still further\nto the importance ot tbe rural school\nas a social centre. With evory Jarm.\ner driving his own automobile the\nopportunities for social gatherings\nare greatly.Increased, and the country school is tha natural meeting\nB>lM*a _\ntentative arrangements have been com*\npleted for the world's hockey series be-\ntween Seattle and the winners of Saturday's Ottawi-Canndien play-off.

A Surplus Reputation.\nApt Pupils nf Prussianlsm,\" by a.writer of distinguished nuthorlty on Oriental affairs, says:\nDuring tho present war wo have\nhoard a good deal of the good nature\nof the Turks. Yet they have pursued\ntlie most devilish policy even this war\nhas seen. Armenians have been massacred, assassinated or marched to\ndeath, starved, exposed to ravages of\ndisease until perhaps 700,000 men,\nwomen and children have met untimely ends.\nln~Lobanon an artificial famine has\nswept, away moro than half the population, who died within sight of\nplenty. Moslem Arabs in Syria have\nbeen robbed. Tho noblest famillei-\nbullied, crimped and taxed to the las'.\npenny. Jewish colonists havo been\nimpoverished, conscripted and, subjected to vlte indignities.\nParadox in Viawa of Turka\nBritish prisoners ot war have por-\nished by the roadside ot hunger and\nthirst. Some of those who survived\nthis are known to havo beon left to\ndie of cold in unhealthy prisons where\nthey were denied garments, medicine\nand the ordinary necessaries of life.\nNevertheless, the sportsmanship and\nchivalry of tho Turks Is a favorite\ntheme of writers. How Is the paradox\nto bo explained?\nThe plain fact Is that the Turk as\na ruler Ib a merciless oppressor; as\na negotiator, ns cunning as a Byzantine; ns a soldlor, a tough fighter;\nas a victor, a remorseless bully. But\nwhen he has met his match, he Is\nchivalrous; whon defeated he Is a\npathetic, distressed gentleman, so. he\ncontrives that the Turk never has\nbeen In the wrong, no one .has ever\nconvicted Turkish, men of a cruel act.\nHow This Tune Changes\nWhen he Is beaten or nearly beaten\nho would huve us believe the Armenians wero killed by the wicked\nKurds. Tho Lebanon famine wns n\ndisaster boyond thc power of mun lo\navert, tlie British prisoners died bo-\ncause delicate, the war Itself tho\nwork of Germans. He curses them,\nand so on.

The Turk has strewn the earth\nwith ruins and has made the prettiest nursery rhymes. He has shattered civilisations, both Moslem, and\nChristian, and has coined the most\nwitty and delightful proverbs.

Moreover, his Gorman professor reinculcntcd In him the destructive virus ot. his plundering\nTuranian ancestors.\nYcrituran is his latest creed. Its\ndoctrine is simple. The Turks in\nancient times devastated and conquered with complete success. Attlla,\nGhongls, Hulugu, Malign, Tlmur never\nwere beaten, but In tho last 200 years\nthe Turk has constantly been beaten.\nWhy Is this? Tho primitive Turks were\npure barbarians, but unfortunately the\nTurks today have Imbibed some of the\nvices of the people they conquered, the\nphilosophy of Persia, the poetry, literature and religion of tho Arabs, a\ntincture of the arts of the Greeks\u2014\nthese are blots and blemishes on the\nrude purity and simplicity of the Turanian race who only knew destruction\nas their motto.\nDormant Savagery  Revived\nThe violent Young Turk reactionary\nis the controlling power.

The Temps notes with\nsatisfaction the declaration mude by\n\u2022M. Motono with regard to the improved.attitude between Japan and the\nUnited States, an Improvement showing itself In a scheme for the coordination bf the Interests of the two\ncountries, in China. The importance\nof this announcement to the cause of\nthe allies, the Temps' points out, lies\nIn, the fact that It makes Japan perfectly free to give unstinted aid to her\nnlly, Russia,, in the shape of artillery and munitions. Japan has nl-\n\u2022cady given valuable support in this\nline, as well as In the work which\nthe Japanese navy has accomplished\nIn patrolling the Pacific and the Indian\noceans, thus making'these far distant waters sttfe for the shipping not\nonly of belligerent, but of neutral\ncountries. Japan's geographical post\ntlon has limited'her military aid to\nthe contribution of war material, but\nin this war such a contribution Is es\nsential, and the Temps hopes that the\nJapanese government will now seo\nits way to: increasing it even further,\nM. Motono'fully realizes the grentness\nof the 'task which has fallen to thi;\nallies. His country's \"interests do not\nappear to'him to be localized in a\ncorner ot the Far \/East'. He recognises\nthat the German ambitions in China\nillust&kcd by the.capture of Tslng Tau\nare only.one of tho chapters In a program of world hegemony which Ger\nmany tried to. realize' In 1914. It is\nnot merely because the policy of William II. aud his ambitions in the EflAt\nwere Inimical to Japanese interests\nthat the latter country entered the\nstruggle. It is because it wished to as-\nHociatc itself in tbo defense av the\ninterests of the wbolo of humanity.\nIt was In thin way that Japan'joined\nthe ranks of tht! allies and adh'\/red to\nthe London agreement of Sept. il. 1914;\nproviding for the solidarity of the allies in the final treaty. Such a policy\nof unity with Europe will t'l\/id in M.\nMotono a staunch supporter, for in\nthc past he was one of those who\nworked most assiduously to bring It\nabout.\n. M. A. Gauvaln, the foreign editor\nof the Journal des Debats, nlso Insisted on the clear\u00abightedhess of M.\nMotono. Japnn, he nays, ia persuaded\nthat complete victory over Germany la\nnecessary to Insure peace In the Far\nEast as well as in the West, and It Is;\nresolved to continue thc war to the\nend, though It has no special advantages to gain by it. Thc signature of\nJapan has therefore been unhesitatingly affixed to tho replies of. the\nentente to the pretended pence offers\nun the part of Germany and of President Wilson.\nM. Gauvain goes on tu noto that M.\nMotono has called attention to a particular point ln tho reply to America\nwhich hnd hitherto remained unnoticed. He has pointed out that if this\nreply contained no \"allusion as tu\nthe future disposition of the, German\ncolonies\" the conclusion waa not lo\nbo drawn that these colonies would, bo\nomitted in the allies' demands at the\ntime of the peace negotiations. \"In\nadhering to the reply to tho American\nnote, the Japanese government bas\ntaken the necessary measures to safeguard its rights. I am ','rlad to be able\n-tn state,\" says M. Motono in the Japanese parliament, \"that the most satisfactory ' agreement' on this subject\nexists between the allies.\" This dec\nJuration should not be forgotten In\nany of tlie allied countries, any more\nthan lhe Interests of the l.lritiyh Do*\nminions should lie forgotten. \"We are\nbenefiting al the present tlr.ie from\nthe active collaboration of Japan and\nt,h6 JJomlHibhs.'.'tt mtjst' no\/'f)W'!iii%-\n,hied that at the time of live peace,JmK\ngotiatlons, the treaty cr\/n bo drawn\nup without taking their legitimate de\nmantis Into consideration.\nAT    THE    STARLAND,\nMARCH  12\nRev.

Belgian territory wns overrun; towns and villages were burned; the civil population\nwus outraged, mutilated and murdered,\nnot by the wanton fury of troops that\nhad broken loose from discipline\u2014for\nJlHclpline was maintained with an iron\nhand\u2014but under orders, scientifically,\nwith tne intention of cowing the in-\ninbitants at once into submission.\nThe conduct of the war by Germany,\nor at any rate by Prussia, has been\nmarked throughout by similar crimes,\nao tradition of humanity, no signed\nconvention or agreed rules of war have\nbeen allowed to stand in the way of\nmilitary or naval advantage.   \"\nWhat we have been \u25a0\u25a0\".fighting for\nfrom the beginning, what we are fighting for now^-more than anything else\n\u2014Is to destroy the 'power of the system which did these thlhgs: And tye\nare fighting also to prove to ine world\nand to posterity that it does not; pay\nto do these things.

There\ncan be no security except in the defeat\nof Prussia. No league of nations can\nhope to insure either peace or justice\nin tlie futuro unless the German army\nIs beaten in. the present war. And It\nis.not yet beaten.\nGermany made war at her own time.\nShe was ready for war, which the allies were not.

Closer imperial\norganization is one oi the certnlntttfs*\nof the near future and it mny bo that\nthe war cabinet will be continued when\npeace cofnes as a cabinet still free from\ndepartmental work nnd concerning itself with the larger problems of Ihe administration of the KmpIre. Similarly\ntho secretariat in Mr. Lloyd Gcorgo's\nbuck garden may continue Its present\nfunctions, acting as n link between the\nsupreme cabinet and the slate department and cooperating In tlio work of\nthese departments.\nMeantime, as lias been said, tho\nchanges have still to justify themselves. The secretariat Iiuh not so-\ncured'coordination of the departments.\nso long us the head of one department\n.has lo confess himself staggered by\nthe actions of tho head of another department, and so long as the latter\ncan only reply by twitting his colleague with tho'ouHo with which he Is\nstaggered. There is also the difficulty\nthat tho secretariat, while Including\nsuch ablo men ns Colonel Hatikey,\nCapt. L. 0.

This\nsituation Is modified, however, by the\nfuot that Mr. Lloyd George is understood to he Including In his secretariat\nadmittedly leading exports In various\nbranches of affairs, and In any case, It\nIs a situation 'which good will and\npatriotism may be expected to mnke\nperfectly easy.\nThere Is one point of view from\nwhich the house of commons is inclined to scrutinize thc new development very closely Indeed.

It is a temper of the\nworld's mind, the deep agony and passion of the world's heart. It feels Its\nway back In sadness to the place of\nthe world's Bin, and all around it are\nscattered tokens of the world's sor?\nrow. It points the road to sacrifice and\nself-denial, the hard road of sharp\nstones that wound and of cruel thorns\nthat pierce. But to the true penitent\nwhether the Individual or the nation,\nthe Lenten way, even though It winds\ndown to Gethsemane and up by the\nPlace of the Cross, leads to an empty\ngrave and to the glad surprise of an\nEaster morn.\nAnd this is for sure the Lenten sea\nson of the world. Never before in all\nhistory did the sun go down ln such a\nsea of blood. Never before was the\nworld's darkness itself so shadowed,\nor did the lurid lightnings show so\nsharply a something more black than\nthe blackness.\nBut through the very blackness there\nstrikes a shaft of light and high over\nthe din of the world's sorrow there\nfloats a strain of wondrous song. The\ngleam will not be lost. The music will\nnot die out ln the empty air. The\nspirit of sacrifice is the soul of service, and out of self-denial there break\nthe victories that overcome the world.\nIt is night still, with its tears that\nmust yet be shed, and its biter anguish that must yet be borne. But,\nevep now, despite the darkness in. the\nvalley where we stand, there are galnt\nstreaks of radiance on the distant hills.\nHe that endureth unto the end shall\nsee the shadows lift like a mist in the\nmorning, and after the denials of Lent\nwill come the Joys of Easter.\u2014Toronto Star.\nI  aLORVINQ  IN TRIBULATION^ |\nIt was belief In the moral and spiritual discipline of adverse things that'\nraised St. Paul to the exceptional elevation of mind which gloried in tribulation, It was a thing to be rejoiced\nIn, not for itself, but because It helped\nto produce the finest Christian character and experience; and it was the\nsame belief that found expression- in\nthe most rapturous outburst of Christian optimism which his writings contain. He looked back on all thc things\nwhich had been apparently against\nhim, the oppositions, rejections and\npersecutions, the stonlngs, stripes and\nImprisonments. He recognized that\nthey had all helped to fit him for his\nwork, to bring him nearer to God, and\nto Imprint upon his heart and life\nmore of the Master's image; and he\nsummed it up In the words, \"We know\nthat all things work together for good\nto them that love God.\"\nWITH THE SAGES\nWe try too much to surpass others.\nIf we seek ever to surpass ourselves,\nwe are moving on a uniform line of\nprogress, that gives a harmonious unifying to our growth in all its parts.\nThe true competition Is the competition of the Individual with himself.\u2014\nJordan.\nThe effects of opposition are wonderful.

The heart of the world is\nbleeding. The groans of drying men,\nof mourning women and of fatherless\nchildren rise to heaven. The questionings of men as to the divine governance, as to whether, altef all there is\na God, personal, nlmlghty, loving, un-\nerrlng,;iand as, to Christ, whother His\nmessage fits Into our modern personal, social and national needs\u2014these\nquestionings are like Banquo's ghost,\nand will not down. If we depend merely\nupon the processes of our reason wo\nmay not find the answer, but if our\nfaith be strong, our fellowship with\nthe living Christ real, our love glowing by the consciousnes of His own,\nrising up within us, \"warm, sweet, tender, even yet\" we shall not speak a\nmessage of doubt but of calm certainly.\nWe shall not throw aside our reason,\nor do violence to it, but our experience\n\"1 be the basis of our confident message. With Matthew Henry we may\nsay: \"I have tasted and seen that tho\nLord is gracious, and the most subtle\ndisputant cannot persuade one that\nhas tasted honey that it is not sweet\"\nLike Paul, wc know whom we have\nbelieved, and our knowledge of Him\nholds us steady \"though the earth be\ncarried into the midst of the sea.\u2014G. A.\nWnrburton.\n\"Peprjy Saved it a Penny Gained\" it\nNot Always Best Rule\nTo Follow\nWc are not likely to give much real\nattention to thrift except under compulsion, and under compulsion saving\nis not thrift. But when the matter of\nthrift is considered It is generally as\nsumed, that the first and foremost\nthing to do Is to eliminate all expend)\ntures for luxuries. This is quite sensible on tho face of it, but it is worth\nwhile 'to get clearly ln mind what Wo\nmean by luxuries and to consider whether this meaning is logical. It may\nbe accepted ns true that by necessities\nof life We mean those material things\nwithout which it is Impossible to live*,\nas living Is now estimated. As a matter of fact, two thirds of what we now\ncall necessaries of life were not known\nto life In a primitive state; a moment's thought about our present food\nand clothing will confirm the justice\nof this statement, From this It becomes plain that as we enlarge (ha Idea\nof life,1 we enlarge the extent of the\nterm \"necessaries.\" And this enlargement causes a constantly shifting line\nof demarcation between necessaries\nand luxuries.\nAgain we are apt to think of thrift\naltogether from the \"penny-saved-Is\na penny-gained\" viewpoint, and do not\nseem to remember that sometimes\nthrift Is best known by spending. If\nfor example, we have a talent for writing, painting, music, anything by\nwhich we can actually make our time\nprofitable, but instead of using our\nability we fuss over the house, stain\nfloors, clean stoves, wash dishes, ro-\nhash our own and the children's cloth*\nand do a hundred and one other\nchores which could be just as well, if\nnot better, done by uneducated help,\naren't we being the most thriftless and\nfoolish of women?\nIf we are working In an office or elsewhere and \"save\" money by not taking sufficient amusement and relaxation, by cutting down our food, by\nwearing too light clothes or by nny of\nthe other methods by which so many\nundermine their health, aren't we the\nmost recklessly extravagant of mortals?\nThink a bit, especially If possessed of\na saving mania, und see whether wo\nare not bebi'g terribly wasteful after\nall. For, wc' must admit, the woman\nwho neglects her health, her appenr-\najhue, her reasonable recreation for the\nsake ;of accumulating a few dollars Is\nnext door to an Idiot, throwing away\nwhat .cannot be replaced for the sake\nof\/a little money which can be always\ngained, prodded that the health, brains\nand appearances nre there.\nAbove All things\" do not let the idea\nof thrift run away with our judgment\nRemember that wise spending and\nsaving of henlth. effort and appearance arc the best form of economy.\nEMERGENCY KIT\nREAL NECESSITY\nMISTAKES\nIt might fairly be hoped at this lato\nday that the mistake Britain makes in\nregard to both Canada and Australia\nwould be no longer be made. That mistake was illustrated in the fulsome\nflattery In which the two Hughes delightedly bathed lust year, and, that\nmistake is In assuming that all and\neverything Canada and Australia may\ndo In fighting for the defense of the\nEmpire, and the upkeep of British -civilization throuhout tho world, Is due,\nnot to the existence of a sound general public opinion In both dominions,\nbut to the shrewd scheming of a few\npersons who manipulate things, steer\nthe multitude in thc way they should\ngo, and finally look for and receive as\na reward for their excessive' labors\nknighthoods or peerages and the ad\nmiring gratitude of various Imperial\nand rather imperious organizations that\nexist in London for thc purpose of\nkeeping up the fiction thut the Empire\n1s held together by a wonderfully clever and Industrious cabal.\nCanadians know, Australians know,,\nthat the part the dominions have taken in this war has heen due to a deep-\nrooted popular enthusiasm\u2014not to the\nleadership of politicians named Hughes\nor named .anything else, nor to a few\nhidden hands pulling wires, but to a\nvast publie pressure favorable to the.\nupholding of that British civilization\nwhich Is us much ours as England's.\nIt Is a mistake, and It might grow Into a calamltlous orror, to deny thc\nmasses of the overseas populations the:\ncredit that Is theirs, and assume that\nthe sound and Inherent national impulses of the people do not exist, but\naro produced artificially by a few men,\nweighed down by the tremendous responsibility of saving the Empire,* and\ndeserving to huve their days brighten-'\ned by receiving royal honors.\u2014Toronto\nStar.\nHereafter, al Harnla, all buildings\nover two storeys in height will be\nforced to provide fire escapes, while\nboarding houses must provide ropes\nfor each sleeping-room,\nThe Canadian department of trade\nand commerce has been constituted\n\"local priority branch\" by'the British\nauthorities in connection with tho pfb-\nhlUltioh of export of certain fommodl\nUea irwu the via \u00abouj>try.\nIf every mother would have in a certain place the appliance and supplies\nthat are needed when minor accidents\nhappen to the younger members of the\nfamily, emergency eases could be met\nwith far loss disturbance than is usually the case.\nThe \"emergency\" kit may be any\nsmall chest or box, but it should be\nkept In t\\ certain place, known to every member of the family, and should\non no account be anywhere else.

Ono\ndoctor has suggested the following articles necessary:\nA two-ounce bottle of witch-hazel,\nlabelled for hemorrhage.\nA two ounce bottlo or alcohol for\ncleansing.\nA two ounce box of powdered boruc-\n1c acid for antiseptic use.\nOne roll of absorbent cotton.\nOne package of adhesive strip an\nini-li wide.\nOne package of wooden splints.\nOno paper of small sarety pins.\n[One small flask of brandy.\n(Several rolls of bandages.\nOne pair of scissors.\nSeveral old soft towels which have\nbeen thoroughly sterilized and which\nshould be kept wrapt tn tlssuo paper.\nOne bottle of sweet oil for burns. .\nEvery mother needs to know something about bandaging, but unless sho\nhad bandaging material handy whatever knowledge she may possess is\nhandicapped before she has opportun\nIty to apply It.

Judge\nGraham has practised his preachment\nso effectively in his court work that\nhe has come to be nationally known as\n\"The Great Reconciler.\" Thousands\nof unhappy homes made happy by his\nkiss rocelpe are to his credit:\nBy THOMAS G. GRAHAM\n(Superior Court Judge, San Francisco)\nWhen your wife and you fall out,\nDon't strut about and shout,\nDon't growl at her, or scowl at her, or\nhiss her;\nYou will find It doesn't pay;\nTry your luck another way;\nJust take her In your arms and gently kiss her.\nWhen your wife and you MUST fight,\nMake her think she's in the right;\nDon't rush off to your club, where you\nwill miss her;\nShould a fight with wlfey start\nYou will play the big man's part\nIf you take her in your arms and\ngently kiss her.\nThe kisB of a husband Is a pledge of\nhis love for his wife.\nI have advised men to kiss their\nwives. I have not advised wives to\nkiss their husbands.\nThe kiss that u wife gives to her\nhusband does not mean ns much to the\nhusband as the kiss that a husband\ngives to his wife.\nTo a husband a kiss Is only a kiss.\nMan only wants to be loved; he Isn't\nparticular about being perpetually told\nthat he Is being loved,\nWife Wants to Be Told.\nTo a wife n kiss is more than the\nmere1 meeting of lips. A woman isn't\ncontent merely with being loved. She\nwants to be continually told thnt she is\nbeing loved.\nA husband is telling and retelling\nhis wlfo'of his love every \u25a0 time he\nkisses hei\\ A woman Is happy every\ntime she Is given a reaffirmation of\nher husband's love with a kiss. A woman who Is conscious of her husband's?\nlove will make all necessary sacrifices\nfor her husband, will bear every trial\nwillingly, will strive to avoid every\nquarrel. A woman Is conscious of her\nhusband's love when her husband\nkisses her frequently.\nTo many wives a kiss only means\n\"goodby.\" To others it is only thc\nequivalent of \"hello.\" But the kisses\nthat arc given when the husband Is\nnot either going or coming mean much\nmore. They are expressions of love\nexpression for which overy wife is\nconstantly yearning.\nOnly One Variety of Kiss\n1 know of only ono variety of kiss\u2014\nthe kiss of a pure man fur a pure woman. I cure not whether it be plunted\non thc forehead, the cheek or the lips\n\u2014the kiss of u husband to his wife is\nthc rcplcdge, the reaffirmation of his\nlove. If moro husbands would kiss\ntheir wives more frequently the judges\nwho have to try divorce cases would\nnot be so far behind In their work.\nAnd the divorce lawyers would starve\nto death.'\nAvoid dangerous prepttni*\ntions containing caustics,\nacids, ammonia, ettM\nby usrog\nOld Dutch\ncrust is cooked arid the pie Is ready\nfor use.

C, March 9.\u2014An\n.example of the acuteness of the car\nshortage situation is strikingly afforded in the fact that 10,000 tons of\nfreight billed to buyers In the east la\ntied up , at the Great Northern' and\ngovernment dock sheds without any\nfacilities for moving It in sight,\n\". The . freight consists principally of\nhides, hemp and oil, which were\nbrought to this port by steamers of\ntlio Canadian Dollar company from the\nOrient und Russia.

The congestion will be added to on Sunday\nwhen the Hazel Dollar arrives from\ntho east with a cargo of similar stuff.\nOreat Northern officials stated today that no relief was In sight. Owing to the car shortage which prevails\noil account of the great demand for\nca,rs; in tho cast, the freight shipment\ntie up here Is becoming more pronounced daily, they stated.\nTho consignees are constantly making inquiries as to tbe arrival of their\nfreight and the only answer that can\nbe given them is that there are no\ncars available to move it.\nThe bulk of thc oil is received from\nVladlvostock, the hides from China\nand tho hemp from Manila.

This, he thinks, is rather high, even for such a noble spectacle and he Joins the writer lately quoted in these columns in suggesting that\ntlie water be \"turned on\" for tourists\n-for a brief period daily and run\nthrough the turbines the rest of the\ntime.   Says this writer:\n\"In round numbers 3,000,000 horsepower of energy flows to waste at Niagara. At least It would be called\nwaste were It not for tho fact that\nabout 1,000,000 people view ln annually.\nThis great natural moving picture\ncosts society the value of three annual\nhorsepower per 'seat' at the show. If,\nthen, we ascertain the value of a\nhorse-power of water power we shall\nknow what It costs society to furnish\neach visitant one good look at Niagara\nfalls.   I\n\"Appraisals of water power values\nhave ranged from nil to more than $100\nper horsepower. Without going Into a\ncareful calculation it may ho conservatively estimated that Niagara falls\npower Is worth to society fully $50\nper horsepower per annum. It follows,\nthen, that each observer Is indebted to\nsociety for $150 every times he visits\nthe- great falls. . .\n\"Might not the million n tin tint' Visitors to this greatest of cataracts se-\n'juro their thrills at less than $150 pet-\nlook? Could It not be arranged that\nfor, say, one nour each day the entire\nvolume of water be allowed to flow\nover the great brink, and for the remaining 23 hours let it run through\ndiafts and tunnels Into turbines? This\nwould bring the cost of a look at the\nfalls down to about $7\u2014tbe price ot\nthreo theatre tickets instead of the\nprL'e of six suits of clothes.\n\"But, someone may urge, who woutd\nunjne hundreds of miles just for one\nhour's pleasure?

Let us have a\n'Ittle real social engineering brought\nto bear on this aesthetic-economic\nproblem, nnd we shall, without doubt,\nfind a way to utilize nearly nil the\npower now wasted at Niagara, yet not\ndeprive mankind of its Heritage of\nbeauty und grandeur.\"\nPOSITIONS IN NAVY OPEN\nTO RETURNED M.

J. Vigneux on Red\nCross work and conditions generally\nat the front, drawn.froth his experience\nof 12 months tn field hospitals within\nthe firing zone in.Flanders.\nThe.meeting was held in the council\nchamber at the city hall and the room\npresented a unique, appearance, tho\n\u2022leats being filled with girls ranging\nall the way froin 9 and 10 years of age\nto that period when ages are no longer\nmentioned, except in obituary notices.\nEach member was busy with needle\nand thread on some piece of Red Cross\nwork for the Canadian boys overseas\n\\nd listened with close interest to the\nloctor's address as sho worked.\nThe gathering was also unique in\nhat it represented the only Junior Red\n'.'man auxiliary, which it is believed exists In Canada, in which case the Nelson organization would be the pioneer\nIn the field of Red Cross work among\nthe younger Canadian girls. Beginning\nwith a membership of three it has\ngrown under the energetic guidance\nand leadership of Miss B. Oliver until\nIts members now number over . 50.\nSince the constitution of the Canadian\nRed Cross society does not provide for\nJunior auxiliaries, the -organization\ncarries on its work independently of\nthe senior body, and is self sustaining,\nbut contributes its work through the\nlocal branch.\nIt was stated last night that during\nthe 11 and a half months of Its existence the Junior auxiliary has contributed 1946 articles to the shipments of\nthe Nelson branch of the Canadian\nRed-Cross society. During the first\nmonth of its activity 33 articles were\nmade, while last month Its output\nreached 261 articles, many of which\nwero made by the members at home\nand consisted of a wide variety of Red\nCross requisites. The name Junior\nRed Cross auxiliary was adopted last\nmonth when the official organization\nmeeting was held. .\nIn his address last night Dr. Vigneux described vividly many of the\nconditions under which the doctors,\nnurses, stretcher bearers and orderlies\nwere compelled to work while caring\nfor the wounded soldiers at the front.\nIn this he declared the Red Cross society rendered invaluable assistance.\nField hospitals were not provided by\nthe war department with a number of\narticles for the comfort of the wounded, which, thanks to the services of the\norganization, had become part and\nparcel of, the .hospitals and dressing\nstations In the war zone and In Kngland. Among these he mentioned night\ngarments, slippers, lounging robes, additional bandages and surgical appliances over and above the regular allowance.\nHe spoke of the heroism of the doctors and their assistants In bringing in\nthe wounddd. In international warfare\nlaws, he solid, Red Cross workers were\nsupposed to be under the protection of\nboth sides.' No British officer, he declared, would dream of firing on the\nGermans wearing the red cross, who\nmight be busy carrying their wounded\nand dead from no man's land, but with\nI'ritz it was different. It mattered not,\nhe said, whether It was .a doctor.\nstretcher bearer or nurse, the Germans\nfired upon them just the same and, he\nL'ontinued, the coolness and bravery bf\nthr- Red Cross workers in rescuing\nwounded from between the lU-.f., while\na mark for the enemy snipers, wns\nnothing short of heroic..\nSpeaking of the hospital in which he\nworked for many months, the doctor\nsaid that it was equipped for the accommodation of 150 patients, but that\nIt was not unusual aftor a;sharp engagement to have more than 1000 to\nlook after. Many of those, he explained, would, be minor casualties,\nbut' there would also bo a great number in a serious condition. The greatest speed possible was exercised, he\nsnid, in getting these men \"fixed up\"\nand dispatched to thc clearing stations\nfurther behind the lines In motor ambulances, few being kept for more\nthan half a day.\nGreat work was being done in look\ning after the dead by the Red Cross\nworkers^ said the doctor. In many\ninstances men would be missing but\nowing to heavy shell fire it would be\nimpossible to search for their bodies.\nIn these cases special workers made\nit their business to look for comrades\nof the missing men and secure all the\ninformation possible regarding when\nand where'they were last seen and, tf\ntheir ': -deaths wefe established, to\nsecure all information possible as to\nthe manner In which they died. This\nhe said, woujd ho put into shape for\nforwarding to relatives.\nAsked by Miss Oliver, at the close\nof his nddress. how the comfort bags\nmade up by the workers were distributed, Dr. Vigneux stated that they\nwent to Boldiers through the medium\nof the hospitals and dressing stations,\nwho were mostly in need of them.\nMany of the, soldiers, he said, were\napparently friendless men with no kin\n.and,never received parcels or letters.\nTo these tho comfort bags camo asWx\nperfect God-send, he declared. The\ndoctor explained further that while the\nmen were supplied, with tooth brushes\nwith their kits, thoy were not given\ntooth poWiler and that this was particularly welcome.\nMuch amusement wns caused by the\ndoctor's description of the soldiers'\nbathing arrangements and of how the\nmen wero supplied with clean socks\nand underclothing. This took place\nwhenever the men came out of the\ntrenches for rest For bathing, purposes many of the great factories and\ndye works, Which were to bo found in\ngreat numbers In northern Franco,\nWere utilized, the men taking hot\nbathfe. ln the dying vats while their\nclothes.were being cleaned.by French\nwomen'upstairs. Here alBo they loft\ntheir soiled socks\u2014as many pairs as\nthey were fortunate to have\u2014receiving\nclean ones In exchange, the same practise being followed with shirts and\nunderclothes.\n.
