"There's a Reason" Dodging a Zepp. A' British Submarine Commander Outwitted the Germans One of ihe cleverest cases of bluff lhat has yet conic to lighl was lhal of a llritish submarine commander nil' the (nininu coast. There hail been a sea and air raid on Cuxhaven, a! tin mouth oi il.e Elbe, and when i: was imr a British airman wns being rescued by a submarine from his seaplane, wliicli had come down ou lo lhc surface of lhc sea and could not IIM'.

Nonplussed, tin submarine commander waved his hands to lhc /ip|'., so as lo give the ini it. ssion thai Iiis was a 1.1 rnian U- boat capturing a Hriiish seaplane. Thus bluffed tiie Zepp flew awi y, but, being a bit suspicious, returned a lillle later lo make closer investigation, liy ihis iiine tire airman had been got aboard lhc submarine, llu hatch was closed, and lhe boat dived. 11 was ju.l in Iiine, for, as il shot down lo the depths lhc bombs drop- pi d hy the infuriated Zepp could be heard exploding in lhc waicr over load. Banished by the Wonderful Tonic Powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills How often victims of disease such as la grippe, fevers,, or contagious troubles are lefl weak, ailing and des pondent after the disease itself has disappeared. They du not pick up strength as lhcy ought; remain listless, lired and discouraged. The reason for lhis is that the. blood has 111411 impoverished by the ravage ofl the disease through which the victim has passed. Strength will not rc- lurn uniil the blood has been enriched. Thc blood can bc purified and enriched by no oilier medicine as quickly and as surely as by Dr. Williams' Pink Tills���lo enrich lhe blood and strengthen the nerves is the whole mission of these pills. Thousands have found them beneficial in bringing strength and energy after disease has lefl Ihein weak aud run1 down. Miss Hannah Hamilton Everett, Out., says:���"After an attack of la grippe I was so run down and j anaemic that 1 could scarcely walk. I had no color, uo appetite, and constant headaches, The medicine 1 was taking was doing me uo good ami I had almost lost hope of gelling belter. I was asked to try Hr. William'.' l'ink Tills, and it was not long uniil I could feci lhal tlicy wire helping me, and after taking lliem for a couple of months I was completely cured.

EL GERMAN METHODS IN BELG CREATE REAL REIGN OF TERROR HORRORS OF THE GERMAN INQUISITION REVEALED A Frightful Account Is Given of the So-called Judicial Methods Of the Germans in Dealing With the Persecuted Inhabitants Of Stricken Belgium An Interview was had hy a representative of ''enter's Agency in London with a Belgian gentleman of high social position, who succeeded iu escaping from Belgium, knowing thai he was about lo fall Into the hands of the German secret police. lie gives a terrible account of the Germans' so-called judicial methods, which have produced a veritable reign of terror, in many rrs| Is resembling the procedure of lhc Inquisition, "III a vague way." he said, "the world knows something of German military tribunals; bul I doubl if it Is realized lhat something like one thousand citizens are condemned every mouth for patriotic offences. Dttr lug lhe three months preceding Janu ary last, forty-two death sentences were inflicted iii one court alone. "Nobody who has not gone llirougli it can realize the extent of terror which prevails, owing to the methods employed by lhc German, secret police, and for obvious reasons very few people are able lo give any precise particulars. "A German sergeant was ordered to arrest 'Francs-Tiretirs' in die 'ally days of tlle war, but as be was unable lo lind any, and nol daring lo presenl himself before his chief empty-handed, he. simply arrested the lirst unoffending peasants lie met on the road. This sort of thing now happens daily in die campaign of persecution directed against die patriots. "Large towns like Brussels and Antwerp continue to swarm will) spies, and they often visil small (owns ami even villages where they think llicrc is the slightest chance lo prosecute their abominable trade. Occasionally the secret police disguise themselves as escaped French prisoners, or pose as guides ready lo help the distracted people to escape llirougli the electric wire frontier. When they have succeeded in gaining the confidence of their victims, they promptly denounce them to the koin mandator. "The next stage is the tragedy in prison, from which escape is almost impossible. Every day the victims are visited in their cells, not hy judges and lawyers, but by German officers and police bullies, who wring confessions from them. I know one man who was cross-examined in this way for eight hours without intermission and without food. When.the first torturer was exhausted he was replaced hy a second, who continued lhc ordeal, 'lhc prisoner, refusing lo confess, was threatened and struck iu the face. "Some limes 'gents provocateurs,' disguised as prisoners, mix wilh the patriots, abusing the Germans and complaining of their cruelty.

"Trial is a mere farce. In most rases the defendants may not receive the help of a Belgian barrister. This depends entirely on the good-will of the governor of the district. Ihe usual procedure Is for the German clerk, after the Indictment has heen read, to speak a few words for lhe defence, wilhout having any knowledge of the case. If a barrister does attend die case, he is mil allowed to communicate with the prisoner, either in prison or elsewhere, so dial It is impossible for llilll lo obtain knowledge of the (acts.

Big List of Attractions Amusement Features at Moose Jaw Ranchers' Fair Will Be of Exceptional Merit The amusement features to be provided for visitors to the Ranchers' Fair and Livestock Show, lo be held at Moose Jaw, July 17tli lo 20th, in- cluding the largest Midway ever seen iu Western Canada, a number of marvellous platform vaudeville and acrobatic attractions, and the performances of a wonderfully intrepid young woman balloonist from Lille, Franejj promise to excel anything of die. kind ever attempted in the Prairie Provinces, On the Midway the visitor will find, among a large number of. olhcr things, a model submarine show, in wliicli a perfect copy of the present death dealing sea weapon is submerged and operated before the visitors' eyes; an enormous Ferris Wheel; a rare exhibition of different specimens of the animal kingdom; a merry-go- roii'nd; a good old fashioned darky Minslrel Show; a Fat Girl, the fattest who ever lived; and a large village of the tribe of Phillipino Igorot- tcs, the peculiar little people from Uncle Sam's islands, who live on die flesh of dogs, and have such peculiar religious customs. In addition lo these, other attractions without number will bc there to lure and entertain the visitor, and anyone who would enjoy four days' of such amusement together with a great Stampede, horse races, and au agricultural and livestock show, should not fail to come to Moose Jaw the third week of July. In addition, if death does not cut short her young life, Mile. Lueiclle Belmont, of Lille, France, will be seen each day in a death defying, heart throbbing balloon ascension, and mad plunging drop to earth, which is only cheeked by the use of three parachutes. Mile. Belmont is today recognized as the world's foremost lady aviator, and her performances here iu thcmesclves will hc well worth the trip. Germans Admit Subs Falling Off According to'the Rotterdam correspondent of thc London Daily News, the German reports on the destruction wrought by the submarines not only show a regular daily falling off, but are becoming more vague in character, being simultaneously put back in less conspicuous places in the German in wspapcrs, lhc places on the front pages being taken by highly laudatory reports of the latest air raids on England. Tunnelling the English Channel What the Value Would be Is Bioughl: Home During War Times War, lhal for long years has lilled! Englishmen's minds with fear of invasion ii a tunnel were to he buill under lhe English channel, strangely enough lias-pointed the verv wis dom of die great undertaking, If there had been a tunnel under the English channel during this war, Great Britain would have been relieved of the task of conveying lo and fro from Frnacc lhc transports and hospital ships which convey men and munitions and wounded ami sick to and from the battlefields of France. The allies could laugh al threatening submarines In those waters, All ihese ihings the Englishman sees today, and il is more llian likely lhal one of Ihc lirsl great afler-tlie-war engineering feats thai will be undertaken will be ilie construction of the English channel tunnel, At a recent meeting of the Royal Geographical society iu London, Sir Francis l'ox explained lhal owing to lhe necessity of keeping the tunnel well within the lllickllCSS of die grey chalk that is characteristic of lhc southern limits of England, there would be a slight curve. The. maximum depth of water over the channel would bc from 160 to IHO feel, and du: roof of chalk over the structure has been fixed al a inininiiuii of Kill feet. The tunnel would consist of two lubes of IS feet diameter. All die work would be, done hy electrically- driven machinery, and excavation and other operations would be carried on simultaneously at many points, and a record speed would bc reached. The tunnel could be worked and ventilated and pumped by electricity from a Kent power-station leu miles inland. The tunnel would have a dip in thc level of the rails forming a water- lock by wilic- the tunnel could, in case of emergency, bc filled with water from floor lo roof for the length of a mile." This would be under control of Dover Casllc, and the entrance and exit of both tunnels would bc under the gun-fire of the Dover forts. Trains would be run direct from London lo Paris in less llian six- hours, and passengers would he able to go from London lo Constantinople, Petrograd, and by lhc Siberian express to the Far East wilhout change of carriage. UHlllllliiliilllillllilllilliiillillMMIlHIUlIlliiilJillllllllllllllillllllllllilllllillllillillllili-l Liquid Fire How This Terrible Weapon of Destruction Is Projected The Germans have uot hesitated to introduce any of the ancient or modern weapons of offense and defense wliicli they thought would be of advantage, regardless of The Hague Conventions or accepted standards of civilization. Among these is "liquid fire," a weapon of value principally because of its demoralizing effeel upon Ihose attacked. There have been casualties resulting from liquid fire, but it is the psychological effect dial is sought. The apparatus usually consists of a metal lank holding abotit four gallons of liquid lo be burned, a scclion of pipe from this l'ink to a rubber hose at the other end, in which there is a smaller metal pipe about a yard long fitted with a nozzle and a friction igniter, as well as an oil-burning wick. There is a valve near Ihe lank and another mar die nozzle. Benzol, from coal lar, ami crude oil are used ill equal proportions and are carried in the tank under a pressure of approximately 300 lbs. per square inch, this pressure being niaiuTailicd by compressed nitrogen, an inert gas having no effect upon the contents of dm tank. The lank and accessories arc carried by one man, while the nozzle is carried hy a companion when liquid is being burned. Or il may bc fixed iu position and operated bv' ihe same man who cirri. s tin CANADA AND MS.

We havc had a revolution in' ' ' Russia. No man in America or Russia can lell whal the future of thai situation is. It is surely conceivable that Russia might make a separate peace. 1 do not believe she will, but il is conceivable. Whai would happen then? It is said lhal there are a million and a half prisoners in Russia. Suppose all die forces of the Central Powers ou lhe Eastern border might be withdrawn; suppose their forces were augmented by a million and a half returned prisoners; suppose Russia's food stores were opened for Germany, and all that happening very promptly, which is a conceivable thing. In dial event could the armies of England and France on the western border withstand the onslaught? Is ii not conceivable lhal if some solution is nol found for the submarine menace England may be brought io lhe poinl of starvation? No matter what her wealth may bc. starving mm could not fight. "I ull yon ii is within die possibilities that wc may lie raising nol a Libert}' Loan lo pay for a war we hope successfully lo wage but a loan to pay lhe cosl of a war Germany has been waging on civilization.

In general the United States will give the Allies preferential treatment in commerce. Details, however, could nol he agreed upon, as congress has not yet passed thc legislation necessary to deal with embargo, trading wilh the enemy, control oi cargo space, and the like. A definite understanding has been reached to cover both American and Canadian wheat for sale to the Allied wheal executive. Canada will co-op- crale fully wilh thc U.S., probably llirougli the proposed food administration bureau, and will agree to the control of prices if that policy bi adopted in legislation now before tha U.S. congress. The wheat executive committee has supplied the figures of its needs, expressed confidence that they can be met, and shown how the results will he allotted among the various Allies. Munitions control and purchase will bc similarly centralized, through the Allied buying committee, though without price control. The council of national' defence has charged itself with so increasing manufacture as lo provide for the American army without cutting off exports viially needed abroad. The I'nited Stales is considering thc invitation extended hy the British that all the Allies send permanent representatives to sit on the Allied commissions in London, including those on wheat, munitions, shipping and general supplies. In finance the mission has secured government loans to Great Britain at 3 1-2 per cent., or at cost to the U.S. government and at a saving of 1 1-2 to 2 per rent, to the British.

Thut Mr Siew- art represented ihe claims of the valley to a seal ou Uie Board we do not doubt, but we regret that he was not mote successful, Once more the greater patriotism has got ',o In- _acrifi :e< to the d��- uiaiuls of narrow minded partisanship, ami lo the regret of every worker for victory in the Great war, Canada is threatened with a general election, Thai the war is not nearly ended, that the claims of food industrial production will brook no iiitcri'f'-r.iicc, that the people are sick of politics and think ing of (lesh and blood in lhe trenches, rather Ihan mis and outs at 0. tawa���none of these things made the slightest difference to Leader Laurier and his ill assorted supporters. Their cry i.s "Office first and let the Empire go lunjj." and the pity it. that the future reputation of many good Liberals will be sacrificed as ;i result of their having to toe the line in response to Latl rier's command. So far as Comox i.s concerned, too many of our men have gone fori h to the great struggle to convince the remaining elec tors that I aurier and his French Canadian ' slay at home'' support ters are fit to ittle Canada.

In West Virginia Ihey have enacted a law to abolish idleness. Under tllis law the state I requires everv able-bodied citizen between the ages of |6 and 6o to work at least 36 hours a week. The' remarkable thing about the law is' that it requires persous who have' iii'iomes already sufficient to maintain them without labor to find employment, Anyone violating this law will be put to work by the counties or the municipaliities and half their allowance will go to dependents. It is apparent thai if all thane who squander today the fruits of tiie loll ol others were forced to emplov llieir leisure in useful woik our niiiioi ul wealth would Increase in proportion, Plejilv for all is not a dream, whether reference is to money or work, The predicament of the Canadian women and children up to the mini - ber of i)0 000 is one of the cm ions developments of the war. that was not and could not easily have been foreseen. They went over lo the old hind to be as near as possible to members of their families iu ihe army, and now there are no ships available to bring them back. Many of their relatives iu khaki already have been invalided to Canada. None of these women and children a.c in want, but they are faced with the prospect of having to remain in the Old Country for the duration of the war, and perhaps a -.ear thereafter. There nre several hundreds of these stranded people who went from British Columbia at ithe outbreak of lhe war. ami Who 1 will welcome lhe signing of a lust ing peace, which we all hope lhe j end of the wur will bring.

As the lime of the wedding drew near her ladyship, who was accustomed to having ber own way 111 mosl things, wns very anxious to carry Dolly oft' to Sloanc Street.' Bul Dolly preferred lo slay, and lhe Squire guessed the reason and sympathized wilh il. Al Alice Lcycs's house Dolly would have been caught into a whirl. Lady Leyes was restless���-must always be doing sonic thing���and hnd a finger in every so- sial and philanthropic pie of fashionable Loudon. Whereas Dolly, taking ber happiness quietly, seemed to have a need for a passionate contemplation. She had developed a gift, she said to her lover, for silting quietly, doing nothing in particular, only contemplating the wonderful thing God had ghcu her. The queer expression was gone from her face. She was alert, light-stepping, like a flame of joy. It was obvious thai the two lovers stood on the plane of felicity. Mrs. Barllett, going about very quietly, cooking in lhc absurd little kitchen of lhc studios instead of having cooked food senl in from Barkers', or Harrods' or lhe Stores, as lhc oilier sllldioitcs did, washing up in the ininatlire scullery, used to grow heart-warm Ihinking upon their happiness. She loved the Squire like bis dog, and as he complained, look a preposterously exaggerated view olhcr indebtedness to him. She had accepted Dolly first for the Squire's sake, afterwards for her own. Dolly had always looked at her as though she found her pleasant to look upon, and had so unlocked the door of the poor disfigured, once prctly woman's hearl. Mis. Bartlett, closely veiled, did wonders in the way of marketing, She was a born cook, and she had thc French thrift in buying nnd recklessness when il was a question of the proper ingredient. She compounded wonderful Ihings ill mar- mites and casseroles for the delectation of the lovers, while she said to herself, with a half-rueful humor, that they would not know a vol-au- vent from sawdust, all things being lhe same lo iheir absorption in each other. Dolly gave humorous accounts to ber Squire of lhc marketing expeditions she went on with Mrs. Bartlett, who wns Kale to her by this iiine. She would go into lhe smart Kensington shops, and not only select infinitesimal portions of this, that and lhc olhcr ihing, and insist on having them, bul would attempt lo luni down ihc prices nnd sometimes succeed. "Glory to go.iilm s, miss, you Wouldn't hi- giving ihem what ihey ask!" was her incredulous remark on llie first -i'ii asinii she had gone marketing with Dolly, before she had laken over ihe entire responsibility. "Hand me mer that, young in.in," r-.he would say In nn assistant in a liir, shop, "liul lire price will lie on/ and si-: instead of Iwo and six, I wasn't bom yesterday." And very often she succeeded ill getting lhe ihing she wanted .it a substantial reduction. Dolly explained lhal these bargainings, although humorous, were somewhat embarrassing for her. There came a morning when she positively refused io accompany Kale. I'he Squire was arriving in the afternoon and Kale was doing something special in the way of an evening meal, even while she complained that il was nil wasted on Miss Dolly and Mr. Mcyrick. Unwillingly, at last she left Dolly silling by lhc Hound Pond in Kensington Gardens wiili a .sketch book iu her band while she went in search of some of the ihings she needed, She dealt in one -hop for one thing, ai another for a second, and so on; and she made Dolly laugh by telling her that bacon at one shop was three farthings a pound cheaper than at another, nml jusl as good. Dolly was not sure sometimes thai Kate did not tell her such things to make her laugh, Dolly happy had a laughter that was worth capturing, 'The sober Squire found himself lying In wall for it since she bad been his, and the old discontented, over-clouded Dolly changed lo Something joyous and young. Never now did he see in tier face that slrange air of listening which he remembered wiih a cold chill al his hearl. Her eyes hnd no mists ovcr them now. He said lo himself happily lhal his love had escaped lhat evil Influence over lier lilc. Thc power of the wicked had been broken. She had COIUC out of the shadows lhal lay thickly about lur iu the early days when he knew her first, (To Bc Continued.) Neglecting the Bible Quite apart from its moral ami religious bearings, the. neglect of the Bible involves a cultural handicap Worth noting. It involves a crumping of tiie popular vocabulary, as uo oilier literary masterpiece is such a well of English pure nnd uiuleliled. Il involves a dulling of literary pre- ccptlons, as literature abounds in Biblical '.illusions which every render of the Bible in st an t ly understands, but which only renders of lhe Bible ever can. Finally, il involves a failure lo respond lo many a good joke, an astonishing percentage of the besl quips nre nothing more or less Ihnn Biblical allusions.���Chicago Tribune.

An early form of the vehicle consists of a framework of bicycle tubing, supporting a cushioned chair scat over a single, low, rubber-tired wheel. The handles in front form a continuous loop and the rear handles resemble those of a wheelbarrow.
