In Germany history\nhas been prostituted and made to\nserve the military aims of the slate.\nThe teaching of religion is a mere\nform without any attempt to touch\nthe heart. Its main value lo thc state\nis the inculcation of habits of subordination and obedience.\n\"The elementary teacher in Germany is a drillmastcr who maintains\nmilitary discipline in his school,\nstriving to subjugate instead .of to\neducate the pupils, resorting to corporal punishment for the slightest\nreasons. Thc method which lie pursues is lo lecture to the pupils, requiring them to repeat, usually verbatim, what lie has explained. Memorized work is demanded lo an extent that would dumfound an up-to-\ndate American teacher. Thinking\non the part of pupils is not considered necessary. All the teachers arc\ngovernment servants, appointed by\nthc government by whom alone\nthcy can bc removed. .Four-fifths of\nthe elementary school teachers in\nGermany arc men; obviously the education which little girls in thc elementary schools receive from this\ntype of teacher cannot seem ideal to\nan American. Thc elementary\nschools arc not professionally supervised. Usually the clergy of the\ncommunity is responsible for seeing\nthat government educational edicts\narc carried out.

In the ten military districts concerned, by the substitution\nof fish, 200,000 pounds df beef were\nsaved iu thc month of May and approximately thc same amount iu the\nmonth of June. Very encouraging\nresults have been attained in thc conservation of foodstuffs of all kinds, as\nwell as other supplies.\nThc conservation branch, in cooperation with the Canada food\nboard, has been iu operation since\nFebruary, when a conservation officer was appointed with experience\niu the Canadian army service corps\noverseas, and assitant officers under\nhim were nominated in each military\ndistrict, 'Yicse being always _ returned\nmen with experience in similar .vjork\nou active service overseas.\nThe main saving i'1 foods luffs has\nbeen in the control of the issue. The\nrations provided ar>; calculated to insure the maximum necessary for a\n160-pound man engaged in hard\nlabor. A big field for conservation\nwas found in the margin bctwem\nllie maximum contingency and the\nactual requirements from day to\nday. Bread used in Canadian camps\nand in all places where troops Were\nfed in Canada by the government\ncontains 20 per cent, substitute for\nwheat flour, while alb the flour itself\nis of thc standard required by-order\nof the Canada food board.\nIn the present shortage of sugar,\ncould not some genius invent a plan\nfor getting supplies from flowers?\nA flower is a little sugar factory,\nand a very effective one.\nHow it manufactures sweetness\ntrom the soil and the air is its own\nsecret, for it is beyond human skill\nto understand the mechanics of its\nmethods.\nGenerally, it is understood that it\nmakes sugar for the purpose of\nattracting swcctloving insects\nwhich, thus lured, carry pollen from\nblossom to blossom, aud thereby accomplish thc cross-fertilization of\nplants.\nScientists calculate that the total\namount of sugar produced by the\nwild flowers alone, very greatly exceeds the total amount consumed by\nthe people who depend upon cane,\nbeets or maple trees for their supplies.\nSo far thc only agency employed\nto utilize this enormous output of\nsugar is that of the honeybee. And\neconomically, the bee. busy worker\nthough hc is, cannot bc considered\nvery efficient.\nIt is calculated that the average\nbee colony consumes for ils own\nmaintenance about 400 pounds of\nhoney a year. Its surplus (that is\nwhat comes to the beekeeper) is perhaps fifty pounds. A well-managed\napiary of 100 colonies, gathering 22K'\ntons of honey, may yield for export\nto the proprietor of the plant, a net\ncrop of two and a half tons.\nThe margin of profitable production is ridiculously disproportionate.\nMedicine Yet there is a fair return lo be obtained from beekeeping, well conducted.\nThc honey bee gathers her sweets\nfrom an area within two miles of the\nhive. Thc fact that 100 colonies of\nthc busy iusecls can find inside of\nsuch a radius nectar enough to yield\n22Vj tons of concentrated sugar products we call honey, gives an idea\nof the enormous quantity of sugar\nproduced by flowers iu any single\nprovince of the Dominion.\nThc bee-keeping industry, relatively speaking, is neglected _ in this\ncountry; and thereby an important\nsource of sugar production lacks adequate development.\nBut something better than bees\nwould be needed to derive sugar\nfrom flowers on the large scale sufficient to meet thc needs . of the\ntimes. At Grasse in Europe tons\nupon tons of flowers arc gathered and\nused for the distillation of perfumery. And the business pays well.\nCould not something be done to\nenable us to make use of the millions\nof tons of sugar going to waste every year in the country? It ought\nnot to be as difficult to collect a solid\nlike sugar, from flowers, as it is to\ngather such a subtle thing as a\nsmell.\nFor Over Four Thousand\nEnemy Planes\nIn one year on the British western\nfront the Royal Air Force has accounted for 3,233 enemy airplanes. In\nthe same period the naval air men\nshot down 623, a total of 3,856.\nAn official statement dealing with\nthese operations says:\n\"The Royal.Air Force during the\nyear beginning July 1, 1917, on the\nBritisii western front, destroyed\n2,150 hostile machines and drove\ndown out of control 1,083. In the\nsame period, the air force units\nworking in conjunction with the navy\nshot down 623 hostile machines.\n\"During the period 1,094 of our\nmachines were missing; 92 of these\n-were working with the navy.\n\"On the Italian front from April\nto_.June, 1918, the British destroyed\n165 hostile machines and drove\ndown six out of control. Thirteen\nof ours were misssing.\n\"On the Saloniki front, between\nJanuary and June, 21 hostile machines were destroyed and 13 were\ndriven down out of control. Four of\nours were lost.\n\"From March to June in Egypt\nand Palestine 26 hostile machines\nwere destroyed and 15 were driven\ndown out of control. Ten of ours\nwere missing.\n\"Jn all the theatres of the war the\nBritish air superiority and strength\nprogressed rapidly and continuously.\nFrom this it is safe to assume that\nwhen the new factor of America's\noutput, both aircraft and personnel,\nenters the situation in the fighting\nzones thc aerial ascendancy' of thc\nentente allies should give them very\ngreat advantages.\"\nSores Heal Quickly.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDHave you a\npersistent sore that refuses to heal?\nThen, try Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil\nin the dressing.

Almost from the day the\nenemy crossed the Nord Canal practically every battalion of Canadian\nrailway troops has been working\nunceasingly at the task, some units\nacting as-pioneers- in the construction of the great defence line that\ncauses the Huns to hesitate on this\nsector.\nLittle French villages that never\nhoped for steel links with the larger\ncities have now become, as if by the\nrubbing of some magic Aladdin's\nLamp, great junctions where train-\nloads of supplies come and go every\npart of ah hour. The new lines run\nthrough the fertile fields of growing-\ncrops, and careful building has saved lhe Frenchman his harvest, but\nfor lhe necessary strip of permanent\nway. There arc alternate routes\naround towns which thc Hun might\nshell, and day by day stores of carefully concealed ammunition dumps\ngrow up, which are led by the strips\nof steel\".\n\"Speaking from a strategical\npoint of view,\" said a railway' staff\nofficer, \"we are in a better position today than we were on the\nSomme. The hundreds of miles of\nnew track have been built specially\nfor military use, and conform with\nie fighting front. All possibilities\nhavc been considered. AVhcre, previously, wc had. to rely on civilian\nbuilt lines, which would tediously\nrun round the country by indirect\nroutes, \ve now have a military\nsystem which lakes out supplies in\nthe quickest and most direct way to\n-where they arc needed.. The latest\nGerman thrust-gave us tlie first test\nof the system, and divisions were\nshifted witli a speed that, must .have\nsurprised the IT tins.1.'\nIn the same way some of the\nCanadian auxiliary troops have been\nworking untiringly in : tlie gun spurs\nbehind the ncw front, oft which the\nbig howitzers pound the enemy\npositions. One battery from the middle west has the record of constructing twelve of these in a vcelc, and\neach one was cleverly camouflaged\nfrom, the prying eyes..of Hun airmen.\nFrom the new railheads, many\nof which have been christened with\nCanadian names, there slart freshly\nconstructed light railway . systems\nthat wind their way through little\nvalleys.still screened from the enemy\nto the fine : new; reserve trenches,\nwhich have not yet had to be used,\naud perhaps never will be.

Lowery id'Uritish Columbia, says the Orecti wuud Ledjje, spends\nsome of his time, especially when his beloved province is Areiieini;a->1, in the\nland of\" eternal (lowers and sunshine.\nLast winter amid the dreamy scenes of\ntlie south he wrote many articles for the\nprses, and competed witli 133 others iu a\nprize contest for writing love letters.\nBeing of an extremely bashful nature\nand retiring disposition, the Colonel\nhesitate 1 for a long time before he decided to emulate Romeoaiid with Cnpid's\npen engrave bis thoughts and impressions of the grand passion upon paper.\nSitting in his beautiful room, close to the\ninner fringe of the blue Pacific, where\nthe flowers bloom eternal, and the birds\nfrom Mexico fly to and fro he began to\nwrite like this:\nMy Diurhst Divinity:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nWhen I gaze into your beautiful soulful eyes, the curtain lifts between\nearth and heaven, and I see Paradise.\nThen the rocks become all diamonds, the\nanimals all birds, the atinophere all sunshine, the sounds all music, and the foliage all flowers.\nSecure iu yonr love and esteem I\ncould be happy amid the ice floes of the\nfrozen north, on the burning s.-nids of\nIndia, _or in the crimson-stained\ntrenches of chivalrous France.\nWith you for ;m affinity I could become a god of love, light and power.\nWithout you, I will be a fallen star,\ndwelling in darkness, like the toad that\nchaces vapors in a dungeon.\nMy Darling, how will you sentence\nme? To heaven for life, or to hell forever. While awaiting your reply I am\nclinging to Hope, that solid little rock in\nthe sea of Despair.\nYours Adorably,\nLUCERN.\nAfter the Colonel had written the\nabove classical effusion he came to the\nconclusion that il would not win. The\njudges would probably give the decision\nto a woman, so the Colonel hedged aud\nthought that a sweet little love-letter,\nwith a woman's name attached to it\nwould secure the pot of gold and the\ncross of excellence. And, he was right,\nfor here is the letter that took first prize:\nDear Colonui,:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThis morning a big\nfrog out in the pond croaked hoarsly to\nthe rest oi the world: \"Its going to rain;\nits going to rain!\" But to me he sang iu\nthe tones of a meadow lark, \"Colonel\nloves me, Colonel loves uie!\"\nAll the way downtown the car rails\nhummed the same refrain. And, when,\nas I left the car, the raindrops began to\nfall they were not like auy raindrops ever\nseen beiore: like the words of the poet's\nfancy, it was raining \"violets\" to me.\nEven the walls of this dingy office have\nchanged over night, Colonel.

Every\ninch of the papers are read, and while\nreading The Ledge we forget that the\nHun is near, and the whizz-bangs and exploding of shells fail to fizz us. All our\nobjectives have been obtained comparatively easy with amazing few casualties.\nIn fact I enjoy these affairs, and were it\nnot for seeing so many fine fellows toppled over I would be in my seventh\nlieaven. Equal credit is due to all the\nAllied troops.\nThe first day of the attack we advanced\n12 to 13 miles, four miles of which was\nstubbornly contested, but afterwards it\nwas a walk-over, almost a rout. It was\nthe same all along a very wide front.\nWe went as far as human endurance could\nstand. Our battalion alone captured\na Brigadier-General and staff. I got lots\nof souvenirs, but we advanced so fast that\nthey got two heavy, aud I threw them\naway, then collected more, only to throw\naway again. This was repeated several\ntimes, and now I have only two souvenirs\nof the famous battle.\nWe are feeding well, and eating\nHeine's rations, and smoking his cig r-\nettes. They say that the French fight\nfor glory, the British for honor, and the\nCanadians for souvenirs. I believe this\nis true for every time one of our men\ncaptured a Hun, he searched the prisoner, took what he wanted gave him a kick\nand continued the advance. I couldn't\nhelp smiling iu the midst of the fight to\nsee our men loading themselves with\nsouvenirs.\nI have fought at Ypres, Kemmel, parts\nof the Somme, Vimy, Lens, Arras, but\nthis last advance was a pic-uic compared\nto the others, but the victory and results\nare far greater. The scorn in which I\nheld the Americans has been changed to\nesteem and admiration. The splendid\nmanner they are now displaying obliterates the stain of the two aud .wo-third\nyears of selfish cynicism. It may be\ncomforting to know that our boys feel\naud know that the Huus will be entirely\ncrushed. Trusting that yon will still\ncontinue to send The\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLedge.

They are\nused for table cloths, if we are lucky\nenough to have shelter when we eat;\nsometimes we sleep on them to keep out\nthe dampness, and in wet weather they\nare fine to put in the soles of boots to\nkeep out the moisture.\nDREW MOWAT.\nNELSON HOUSE\nNELSON, B.
