Tentative proposals have been made for distributing these men through labor exchniiges dr for enabling them to sottle on some of the agricultural lands under the control either of the federal or the provincial governments. Experience has shown so fnrTnnt with ipost of the men at.the front little or nothing ls saved nut of their regular army pay. When the war ls over the probability Is that most of tho soldiers, will return to Canada tinder the necessity of immediately finding some means of employment. A suggestion has been made that n percentage of the pay now allotted bo kept back by the government and placed to the credit of the men at .compound interest so that when they aro discharged each one will have a small nestegg to keep him going for nt- least some weeks until he again becomes adjusted to the labor market In Canada. The objection to this Is that when the men enlisted they contracted with the government for the reoelpt of the regular pay at the end of each month. The government cannot now break this contract arbitrarily but it is believed possible that in the big majority of cases' the men would themselves consent to some scheme of government savings on tholr behalf. This would bo following tlie same Hues as are now ln operation tn the civil service where part of the rogular monthly pay is kept back and given ln a lump sum to tl;e civil servant when he retires.

PARIS, Oct. 12.—In response tn.res- olullous adopted by the finance com- missl,(ii and the Socialist, group urging the necessity of a "complete and Immediate! explanation on the part of the government," Premier Vivian! In the chamber of deputies today outlined the situation'with-.respect to the Balkan states.

The B:i- i-li.-irest treaty had left in Bulgaria profound heartburnings. Neither king nor people wero resigned to the loss of the fruits of their efforts and sacrifices and lo tlie consequences of the'unjustifiable war they had waged upon their former allies. From the first day the allied government took into consideration thc dangers'of such a situation and .sought a means to remedy It. Their policy has proceeded in Ilie spirit of justice and generosity, ■which has characterized the attitude of Great Britain,, Russia, and Italy, as well as France',' Sofia Always Blocked Plans. "We have attempted lo re-establish the union of the Balkan peoples and in accord . with .them seek realization of (heir principal national .is;! rat Ions. The equilibrium thus oht'ilned t>y mutual sacrifices realy. mada by each would have been the best guarantee Af future peace. Despite constant efforts, in which Rumania. Greece and Servia 10"'* their assistance, we have been unable to obtain or secure- the sincere co-nperatloii of the Bulgarian government. The /difficulties respecting the negotiations were always at Sofia, "lllugarla made Its claims upon Its four frontiers at (lie expense of Its four neighbors.' We.had hoped - that Rumania.

Its partial mobilization permitted it to repulse any threatened aggression—defend Itself against all German pressure and' olr- servo with tlie clearest-attention events along the frontiers, both Austrian and Bulgarian. "Rumania knew, moreover, that only victory on the part of the quadruple entente could assure its independence and satisfy its national aspirations. "In their considerate desire to give tlie Bulgarian people satisfaction in their aspirations, tlie powers of the quadruple entente did not hesitate to ask valiant Servia to make hedvy concessions. Despite the cruelty of such a sacrifice, and desirous of proving their attachment to the allies which were combatting for their com- monjindependenoe, the Servian people made this extraordinary effort and resigned themselvos. hoping for the compensation that the victory of the quadruple entente would give Servia elsewhere. Blugnrinns Averse to Mobilization. "The equivocal attitude of the Bulgarian government led tho Greek government to maintain a watting policy. Our diverse proposals received tardy responses from the Bulgarian government, which asked for additional details and at the same time carried on parallel negotiations with our enemies. Finally at the moment when the quadruple entente informed Bulgaria of tho Important concessions Servia was ready to make, King Ferdinand signed an accord with Turkey and engaged himself definitely with Germany. "To our friendly question as to his Intention the response waa Bulgarian mobilization, which, in'connectlon with, the concentration of Austro*-Germaii troops on tho Danube, Indicated united action against Servia.

LONDON, Oct. H.—"We should not be doing our duty," said Reginald McKenna today, discussing the loan in the United States, "lf wo neglected to take other means of maintaining tho normal evel of exchango. I am suro the house .will desire to express its thanks to the commission. Its members accomplished their task with skill and success. "The American people are not accustomed to large external loans, and I believe this is the first of any magnitude in the whole history of the United States. We must not overlook the fact that there are many crosscurrents of opinion in that country. "Although the transaction was purer ly for the purpose of meeting liabilities already incurred, no little opposition was* raised by „somo parties whose sympathies were not on the side ,pf the allies. , I' hope the existence of these parties will not be overlooked during] the debate and that care will be taken to avoid tho use of language that might be twisted by a hostile element to its advantage and to the detriment of the allies. Says Torms Are Fair "The loan la a trade transaction, Its terms are fair and reasonable and I confidently recommend its acceptance by tbe house." Mr. McKenna pointed out the fact that, considering that higher Interest was generally paid In America, the terms of the "loan were not more onerous than could have been expected. While the country was at war It could not hope to borrow in a neutral country on as easy terms as at home. He thought that the claim that the freedom of tbe loan, from income tax was equivalent to paying an addi tional 1 per cent was fallacious. Pointing to the sum that Groat Britain owes the United States today for trade - engagements, placed at £60,- 000,000, he said the amount could only be paid by the export o£ capital, presumably American, securities. "But," he added, "we proposed to out- American creditors that they allowed us to defer payment upon such terms as could bo* arranged. They agreed and wo were thereby enabled "to retain £50,000,000 ot capital which we must otherwise havo exported and when we retain that capital we get tho income tax on the dividends from lt." Replying to oritlciSbis, Mr. McK4n- na said tiie public had received the proposal more favorably than he had expected as for the nation to pay 6 per cent for an Anglo-French loan at any tlmo was startling but when the members remembered the circumstances lie thought they would agree that the commission had done extremely well. It bad bean said that tlie Americans got an exceptionally good bargain; they were offered double tlie bargain and they would not take it. "We tried," ho said, "to get £200,- 000,000, then £160,000,000, then £ 110.- 000,000, but we could not get mora than £1,000,000. The sending out of the commission was anything but tlm {irst negotiation in the proposal (to obtain an American loan." Before the commission left the only offer he coiild ge^ was of a mere fraction of £100,«00,000 at a higher ratoi of interest HimiWs being paid. Ho sent out llio eoi^BlBlon, he added, because ho found^WtnposslBle to mako 'arrangements at such a rate of interest as he felt justified ln presenting tq the houso. * * 'it m m $ Wj ifi PAGE TWO *be-3Batlj.jw»ai#.

"Stranger thah fiction" is aphrase often aplpied tiKtbe facts of real life, and In "The Strange Case of Dr. Minor." which appears in the current number of tlu* Strand Magazine, a story is unfolded by :.lr. ilyden Church which indeed reads like u nage torh- from some sensational romance. The central figure is a Dr. Minor, an American,* who in 'lS72 was tried Tor the murder, : by scooting with a revolver, of a stoker employed at the Lion brewery, in Belvedere road, Lambeth. The doctor had a ■ delusion that he was a "marked man." A trijj.t,, Hurope was prescribed and supplied with exceptional letters of introduction^-including one to .lohn Riiskin—he came to London and took lodgings in Tenison street, Lambeth. But he was unable to remove the Impression that he was being persecuted and he* made representations to this effect to the police, who recognizing him to, be menially deranged communicated with his relatives in America. Tried for Murder. In the meantime, however, he had* committed the murder for which he was tried before Lord. Chief Justice lioviii. He was defended by Sir (then Mr.) Kdward Clarke and his mental state being established he was ordered tri lie detained during her majesty's pleasure. * .It* was while urfder detention as-a criminal lunatic that he contributed largely to the material from which the late Sir James Murray was then campling his monumental distionary. The dramatic meeting between the two is told in the following extracts from the article: , "Sir James discovered that some of tho most valuable' quotations that reached him.together with some of the most scholarly comments thereupon, were forwarded by a certain Dr. W. C. Minor, who wrote from Crowtbome, a small village In Berkshire. This contributor's identity puzzled Sir James the more so as he soon came to realize that the bitter's knowledge of philology could not .be far behind his own. So much did Sir James esteem the mysterious Dr. M(nor, In fact, that whenever he had completely finished his analysis nf the history, of any one word lie was in the haihit of sending the full notes connected therewith to his correspondent In Crowthorne for his final revision, whloh, more often than not, was productive of some important addition or exceedingly 'Illuminating criticism or other comment." Dramatic Meeting. Sir- James invited this unknown correspondent to be lhe guest of tho " 'T'*SBli!BIBWBW;:P" university foi* a week, but this was declined, and be himself was asked lo he the guest ,,f .Dr. Minor for a day or two.' -. "Sh- .lames, being by this time over- poworingly curious as to. ids correspondent's identity,* promptly accepted tbe proposition, and, a few days later, took tfain for Crowthorne. After a journey of a couple of'hours ho arrived at the nearest railway station (herein, namely, Wellington College, and was met by a liveried servant, who* asked if he were Dr. .Murray, and on receiving ap uffn'mative answer, explained that he dame from -Dr. Minor and led the Way to a h.atiMsome brougham, driven by two fine horses, wliieh was Waiting near at hand. Sir .lollies entered the brougham, antl after a ride of a couple of miles found himself being driven into' tlie 'courtyard of :, huge brick building of a forbidding appearance, as lo whose Character la- could not even make a surmise. 'Have Uie kindness i,, follow rue," said the sei-vani.aiul he. straightway conducted the puzzled savant up a gloomy staircase and through a »**>rri-- dor, ushering him eventually into a •wdl-apjmiiited private office, at. which a man of unmistakably official appearance Was silting at a desk-. ■Dr. Minor Now in^America. "Tiie latter promptly arose and greeted his visitor with impressive politeness, 'ill-. Minor. 1 presume?' ventured tbe puzzled philogist. 'X,,; Dr. Murray,' replied the unknown-,'"'1 am 11*.t In-.'

"* After narrating the startling detail concerning Dr; Minor, the governor introduced Sir James to him, and -at' the end of tbe Interview Dr, M'inoi- promised to continue to the best ot bis ability bis work for the dictionary. Dr. Minor oi still alive'in Aiheriea. Sir Falward Clarke tidls Mr. Churoh that Dr. Minor remained in Broadmoor for nearly 2", years iind then, largely in order that he* might 'carry oh his Work for Sir James under, the best possible auspices, be w'as taken to the great private sanitarium at Virginia Water; where he had his library and was extremely comfortable. "Several years ago. in the preface of. the dictionary," adds Mr. Church, "Sir Janies placed it on record that Dr. Minor sent ln 'between r,000 and S00O quotations-"' HOW SAN JUAN TITLE WAS DECIDED Position Taken by Governor Douglas ■ in that Famous Dispute—Both Americans and Canadians in Joint Occupation On tbe determination pf the international boundary, line between the llritish ■posijjr'tfdons i\-d jiitfse of the United StnteV It was agreed that the forty-ninth parallel should be that line. This treaty,'known as'the Ash- burton treaty, was entered into and .Signed in 1846/ At the" point on the Pacific coast'where, the line' reaches salt water lt was further agreed that this line should be continued westward along the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude to the middle of the channel •which separates the continent from Vancouver island,-, and thence southerly through the middle of the channel and of the Fucai Straits to the Pacific Ocean, provided, however, "that the navigation of the said channel and straits south of the forty- ninth parallel of north latitude re-, main free and open to both parties." This line passed through a small archipelago and after the treaty was agreed to the citizens of the United States bordering oil the terminal point referred to and the inhabitants of Vancouver island each regarded these islands as the property of their flag. Coincident with the signing of this treaty the Hudson's Bay "company commenced the building of Fort Victoria to take the placo of Fort Vancouver an the Columbia riv-Sr,' in which Dr. McLoughlin had lived for many years as the autocrat of all the posts and forts of the great fur company on the Pacific coast from the boundary of Alaska to the Spanish possession of California. During the building df Fort Victoria the Hudson's. Bay company found time to take possession of the Island of San Juan as a kind of pasturage for sheep and cattle. They aLso built some houses there.for the accommodation of their servants who were in charge of the stock. ,* Oh the other hand Whidby Island and the archipelago already referred to were in 1852 by an act of the Oregon legislature organized as a dis trict under the name of the Island county. Xo. trouble arose as to jurisdiction between tl,.* citrous of, I lie United States and the Hudson's Pay company until the, year 186.4. In that year the Hudson's 'Bay company placed a large number of catil,-, sheet,, horses and bogs upon the island to be fattened t,, fill a contract for supplying the. Russian Fur company with fresh meat, niutioii and pork. The colleen,r of clistoius f.,l* I'u-gf I -Hound; hearing of ibis hew 'importation lo San .Kuan, icpaired"forthwith lo tlie island and demanded tbe payment of customs dues frum a clerk of* the Hudson's ,l;ay company, who in addition to Jteiiig the representative of ih,* company was also a justice of the peace. This ■clerk. Charles John; Griffin-, refused ,.,,pay ih<* demand, claiming the island as British property and ordering the collector, off the island. ' Raised Both Flags .Mr. Griffin .scut wonj at once lo Movonior' Douglas in Victoria, who returned woi-,1 by coining ,,.n the steamer (liter to Irfan Juan and bringing* Mr. Sangstc-r, the collect",,r of customs of Victoria with him. ( in arriving, Mr. Saiigstor at once sought mil thc United Srart-s collector- and de- ma'nded bis business on the island and his authority for his recent demands for duties from the representative of the Hudson's Hay company, Mr. Bbey, tlie United States collector, ga*e a very short answer, upon which Mr. Sangs'ter informed him that he would seize all vessels found navigating the waters west of; Knsario'. Strait and north nf a central line through the straits of Fuea. Tbe United States collector then said that he was about .to return to Puget sound, but would leave behind him a deputy collector to carry nut his duties and he hoped that no one would have the temerity.to in-, terfere with him. Mr, Sahgster suggested that Mr. Bb,ey should go on board the steamer litter and see Governor Douglas, but this tlerefiised to do. Jlr. Songster then raised the British flag over the buildings of rhe Hudson's May .company, while Mr. fibey raised a United States revenue flag usually nst-tl 'on revenue boats of the United Slates service.on a pole cut for the purpose. After landing a boat's crew to stis*. tain Snngster in the exercise of his duty as defined by (lovernnr. Douglas the latter returned to Victoria pn (he (itter. Il.jniglit be of interest, in explain-, ing tiie subsequent course of Governor Douglas, to say here that lie had Imbibed a great dislike- for Americans and their methods from a time antedating by a few years the treaty of 18,10. lie had lost considerable money through the loss of the Hudson's Hay title to their lands in Oregon and he was now In a. position ns the representative of the Queen of a great empire, .as the governor ur Vancouver island. ', Thh influx of. Americans to thc placer-mines of the Frascr nnd their pretensions to be above the 1flw there had' excited his suspicion that they were about to repeal their methods by which they had taken possession of Washington and Oregon. Tlieir seizure of San Juan was In his opinion totally unjustified and contrary to tbe spirit of the- Ashburton treaty.' Now at last he was ln the position of getting even for the past. But he took no steps beyond referring (he matter to the home government and they, with the government of thc United States, appointed a Joint Commission to survey and decide upon the proper channel through which the international line should pass. This, was done. Captains Preyost and Richards of the Royal navy represented Great Britain, while Archibald Campbell with Lieut. Parke and G. C, Gardner of the topographical engineers nnd G. F. Taylor and G. P. Bond represented the United States.

I'.ie trip of some 2D0 miles in /vli, which on thu map sbouid lie comfortably made In three days; occupied six; and, but for the oxen of the oountry-, the mutur cur doubtless would be embedded still somewhere on Iboso iiiiiazliig ryads, which have been repaired only. In spots for the immediate necessities of military transport since they were twice desperately fought over, mile by mile and j-aj-d by sard, last winter. . It is a region already famous in Servian history, .for, about one-third of 'the way from here to.Shabutz, only a mile or two to one side of the main nad, lies the little village of Takovo, with its modest church, thc birthplace of Servian liberty from the Turk. Now und henaeforfh it is doubly sanctified as .the scene of the rout of th»- Austrian armies in November and December last. Bight months have passed since then. Spring and summer did their best to hide the scars of war under.a y«;il of green. Yet everything is ii'most as it was when the tide of battle left lt. Servia has had little time for tidying up; and anyone who searches off the high road .may still pick up shell cases and shrapnel balls where he will, and is likely to stumble in the grass On other and more grisly relics of the Austrian overthrow. By Vallevo—something more than half way on the road—I wandered one noon among the ragged lines Of trench arid rifle pit and gun position, where tin- Austrians, falling back made their last futile effort to check the advancing Servians. Behind ami among the trenches are tumbled areas where there are no crosses or anything *but the uneven surface of the ground to tell that they are graveyards. But in certain places the hooded i,*ruws rise in companies at tlie approach of an intruder; you can hear the buzzing of innumerable files, and It Is almost impossible to walk where lhe wind blows over tiie fetid ground towards you. The dead Iu battle--men or horses or oxen—cannot be buried carefully or deeply, and under tbe action of rain and sun the. loosely-shovelled earth will crumble, away. bn every side nlso are signs that war is still at hand; Endless trains of bUllock-carts cumber the roads, and troops of marching meii. At dusk the woods, on tlle suuthern and' eastern faces nf the hills glow with camp,fires, for up there along tbe ridges, facing to tin- west and.north, are the Servian linos (of defense waiting for the enemy. ■ Three or four weeks ago there were indications that, the enemy intended to make anotlici; attempt, it was primarily the total lack of ammunition which' compelled'" the long Servian withdrawal before the .advancing Austrians, and it was tiie arrival of supplies at the critical mompnt-which enabled them, on that fateful 3rd of December (Nov. 20, (=>.. S.'), tu turn and, catching.I he enemy, tangled up among these hills and struggling witli the mud on a front which, ln his over- coiifidonce, he had allowed to become extended almost to dislocation, to drive bun, in .12 days of delirious whirlwind fighting, out .of thu country, ills armies fewer by -100,000 men huii when lie had come in and almost everything that he ]iad of guns and stores and supply trains left, behind "film In Hie,mud qf the Ljig and Kobi- bura valleys. The Austrians invaded tliem with five army corps. Almost immediately after leaving Ki'uguicvulz, you enter ;a magnificently wild country of steep 'valleys and wouded, hills. Here, on tills" road, on a line Just beyond Gorni Mllnnovatz, 25 miles nut, was the very centra and criiciul point of tlie, operations w.hen tho Servians began their offensive. Si'x or seven miles ahead you pass through the now famous village of Ventsaul. Fifteen miles to the left lies Suvohor, anil immediately to the right, is tlle mountain* wilderness of Rudnik. The whole- country ls one splendid panorama of tossing hills, and here it was, .With Vriitsani as a centre, that the Servian first army, driving and. shattering the Austrian centre front, covered itself witli glory. Battle of the Kolubara Tlle Servians know the operations as thc battle of the -Kolubara, which presumably will.be their name In-ftls- tory; »nd_it^ was, indeed, the mud of the Ljig und Kolubara, With the difficulties of tiie rivers themselves, which proved the deciding factor in the completeness of the Austrian rout. How fierce' the' fighting was may be illustrated by the statement of an officer, who told me that his battalion went into,one minor affair on the Ljig over 000 strong and after two .days figjitlhg there were 78 survivors, with whom he was thc only officer un touched. / * On the left ot the first army; the Scr»lan fo.yrth army (or; the army of UJiUe) was kodplng pace and liam merllig the enemy westward along the left bank of the MoraVa, and through the hill country which Stretches from Pranjttnl to Maljen. When once their centre had beeii fairly broken on the "Rqlubara, the Austrians : thought of nothing but tholr oW-H,safety. Beyond the Kolubara Is on4v final belt of hllfs.'Sorvia's first breastwork against on attack from the northwost.-beyond which, on a line along the Tamnava from Ub to Kotseliovo, the . ground •falls away to the wide valley' of the Save, which reaches to Shttbatz. In Ui'Jb region there is no ptfaii^t here Who did hot ,see Austrians go f>y in trhimpii in November and Come back iftgged and boaten in December. Rarely lias an army suffered more than ,dld the Austrian-army iu its retreat. -Bilt'li ,i» M'M to pity them; for in Shal)atii'"and in all .this district they committed, bofore their overthrow, every brutality and excess of which an .army, could, be .guilty.

Suddenly we spimled violently down through the bottom ot thc cloud Iritp sight of the earth again.

Then ns we careened downward be stopped hi-s motors and In the sudden deafening silence he shouted out, ".The front.*' Here, if my hopes, had materialized, I should be able to get a most striki Ing ploture of a battle as seen from an aeroplane. But honesty compels me say that anyone who wanis to get a good clear view of the front hail much better go there on the surface of the eurth and not through the air. ' In the first place it takes quite a little time and trouble to discern the lines of opposing trendies even when you stand on a quiet observation post with a general -painstakingly pointing out aud explaining just where they run.

Returning we kept low, not over 100 metres so lhat the landscape was clear and interesting. Suddenly the motors stopped' the aeroplane keeled over onto (he tip of its left wing and pivoting-round on it we began one dizzy spiral descent, l-'irst on one wi,ng tip nnd then on the other, we corkscrewed:, dizziiy down. Plrst the whole surface of the earth would swiftly fly up, revolving us it came and slap me on tin- left side of the fa,.*,*, then a fraction of a second later tbe same revolving surftice would heave swiftly up to slap me on the right side or my. face. This double spiral descent is certainly by all odds tlle dizziest proceeding that was ever devised by man. Finally, with a swoop, which I made suro would' carry away most ,,f the chimney pots of tbe suburb, we made a beautiful glide and alighted as suiothly on the grasi-w of tin- aviation field as a canoe launched from a beach into a quiet lake.

RUSSIAN TROOPS TO JOIN IN BALKAN STRUGGLE Premier Viviani's statement in the Preneh chamber of deputies adds nothing to what was already known ln this country of the negotiations wliieh ended in Bulgarian intervention on behalf of the Teutonic powers and Turkey. It Is with regard to the operations by entente troops in the Balkan thea tre that the prime minister made the most interesting announcement. Russia is to land troops whlsh will today enter the struggle in co-operation With the British and French armies. ilussia is called upon to assist the allies for three fundamental reasons— it lias for long been "big brother" to Servia and Ruma.nia, it Is the most directly interested of all the entente powers in the forcing of the Dardanelles and as a rinember of tho quadruple entente it has a partnership interest in .the success of the allies' arms on all fronts. It will soon develop* where Russian troops will strike. They may be landed on the Black sea coast, Rumania; might follow Greece's example, and permit them to cross its territory and they may effect a landing on Turkish soil. Tho last-named is by far the most Interesting possibility as it would be on the shortest route to set up a barrier across the railway between Servia and Turkey which the Teutons are attempting to secure complete control of. , little known but famed for its riches. Isabella, queen of Spain, was Impressed by his slncerliy und through Her Influence with I-'eniiiiand, the king, Columbus ■ wns equipped with threo ships, llo sailed from Spain on Aug. 3, 1493, and it was not until Oct. 12 that Guunnhanl, of the group of islands whicli he named West Indies, was sighted. Columbus believed that he had discovered India, a conviction wliieh lie carried with hlm to his'gfave. It wfts for that reason that he named the aborigines of tills continent Indians— an error which othnologically niay not be as great as was believed-before the Asiatic characteristics of many of the aborigines of some parts of this continent were established. »« * M ♦ t DEF i *-*-*-»-* One pr two Balkan governments appear to be too' proud to fight.

Depew was talking of the '$500,000,000 loan to the allies. J!ryai( bad, a day or two previously, denounced' tlie loan as designed to take $500,000,000 out of th(v country. .

Exports have increased by $50,- 000,000 during the last five months. During the same period exports have exceeded imports by $25,000,000 and the total trade of the country has Increased by $11,000,000. A favorable trade balance of $25,- 000,000 in the first five months of this fiscal year is a gratifying change from the $225,000,000 adverse trade' balance in 1912, the $300,000,000 adverse balance in 1913 and the $1S0,- ave no special respect for the Hohen- zollern family. "It is a diplomatic victory for the Y United States," says Count von Bernstorff of Germany's latest pledge to cease 'submarine attacks on liners. The ambassador naturally'prefers to femaih silent .upon the outstanding success of British navy measures against the underwater boats. Count Olitima's message to the peace congress at San Francisco, in which he says that he dbes'not hope for the success of. its efforts as long as anyone nation exalts itself as superior to all others and does not hesitate' to use force to assert that superiority, will not give much cbmfort to the [ wild-eyes "peace at'any price" propagandists. The German ambassador, after seeing the Canadian exhibit at San Francisco, wrote: "Surry to say, the finest exhibit on the grounds." Tlie display by this hated country must be galling to one uf the leading exponents of.kultur, who probably remembers that the German representative said pf the German exhibit at the Philadelphia centennial exhibition in 1K7(> that it was "cheap and nasty." 000.000 balance 1. 3914. igainst the country Canada has to pay interest of about $140,000,000 per year upon securities held abroad, so that it can continue tu increase the margin of'imports over exports considerably before it could become either a loaning or gold importing, country, even if any surplus were not needed for its own development. . CANADA JS BUILDING UP NEW INDUSTRIES It is known that as a result of the War Canada's manufacturing industry has entered many new fields of endeavor and ttiat scores of articles which were formerly imported are now being made in the Dominion, It is only by study of a list of the new products of Canadian factories, exclusive, of war munitions, that the real measure of industrial progress can be guage'd. Among these articles, are: High carbon jsteel, manganese steel, Bteel drums, pyrometers, detachable chain and chain belting, drawn tungsten wire, .accumulators, milking machines, wire weaving machinery, san'd blasts, automatic wrapping machinery, aluminum lasts, toys of meiul and wood, wire tag fasteners, wire collar ^upports, clips and buttons, fancy movement»,"i4amp lenses, win- glass syphon vases, potash, ether, amyK. acetate, re- Ibber, oxygen and hydrogen, ing varnish,* medical speci- wine, grape juice, bakers ectioners' malt . supplies, parchmentino and glassine paper and liollow turned wood boxes. The list is not complete but it gives Mederic Martin; M.I'*., may be making a mighty poor mayor of Montreal, as his opponents claim, but he is providing a whole lot of amusement for the rest of Canada; He is now suing a 'newspaper- for libel and at a recent hearing called the defendant a liar, brought his fist down so hard on the witness box that he broke the electric light circuit and made his counsel angry by . insisting upon replying in fiery language to questions asked hi'm, Without regard to their lie: .case. to put them into the pockets of Neb raska fanners. We have accomplished what used to be considered the impossible by lifting ourselves with our boot straps. We make the goods and we pay ourselves for tliem. That can only be done because we live in'an age of science and in an age of aeration." In this humorous way .Mr. Depew expressed a noteworthy fact ubout the big loan—that, while we make .the loan, we keep the money.In this country. If Mr. Bryan's Atlanta speech was correctly reported, he really thought ' the $600,000,000 jfould be transferred to Europe. Instead the money remains in this country and we ship goods to Europe to that value. We keep the $500,000,000, though we have lent it, and a.t the. end of five years France and Great Britain will have to send over $51)0,000,000, or its equivalent, to pay us off. So we do not give up any money at all, and at the end of five years can collect from Great Britain and France $500,000,000, paradoxical as it may seem, though w'e never sent a cent to those countries. Tliere are some, things about banking and finance that Bryan never has understood. * And lie is usually* suspicious about what-he does not understand. * Depew turned the point on Bryan in a capital way when he said the loan wrtuld take.money from Wall street and hand it over to Nebraska farmers. But fairness requires that Bryan receive, credit for expounding the quantitative theory of money in* his free silver campaigns. The trouble was that he wished by government fiat to make a little over 50 cents''worth qf silver as valuable as a gold dollar!' The quantitative theory ofaioney has been advanced recently iii support of the method of stabilizing foreign exchange by means of the big loan rather than by shipping gold from Europe to the United States. If too much' gold were imported, it was contended that the effect would be a reduction in money value;. or, to put it another way, an increase in prices. The man who received wages of $2 a day, if there were a plethora of money, could not buy as much for $2, and hence a big importation of gold might, in effect, lower wages because it would reduce the buying power tif a dollar. The weakness in Bryan's presentation of the quantitative th* money was that he wa. m,,,^! .r.,"ah '"'"later of munitions 1 "„T SQme discouragements in ,?,. i °.rtS. t0 lmste» mo >"--ki»*r of vvarynaterlal.

It explains tho motive for resorting to tho pamphlet. The Reason. A' new spirit, it says, Is afloat In the land. In every great crisis among the German people a new spirit hits shown itself. It waB bo In the days of the reformation. And In those days the battle was Won by the use of the pamphlet Luther showed the way and used the pamphlot effectively and tbe pamphlets of .his time wove not couched in fine phrases. They were strong and even coarse, and thus they won*. The Thirty Years' War brought back the pamphlet and Maximilian of Bavaria and other princes used lt with greut effect. Two hundred years ngo when the German people .were under, the heel of the French emperor, it wos tlie pamplilet of the common people that aroused the national spirit. The king of Prussia claimed credit for the measure that War forced oh him; but it was the pamphlet and the popular feelings which It stirred up that led to Leipzig and the overthrow of Napoleon. And now continues this pamphlet the German peoples face a far more serious crisis than any in all their history. Again they have a decisive fight to wage thef have a decisive fight to wage and again they aro forced to recur to the.pamplilet. And again thc pamphlet will surely win. • Modern Child:—What do they mean by a long winter evening? Mother—,\ portion,of the day which existed before the era of movies and talking machines.

The result of Von Kluck .trying to force his way-through'the allies' lines to the coast is that a fierce battle is raging in the triangle of Dixmude, Ypres and Dunkirk. The fighting at Ratchka, a town near Suwulki, Russian Poland; was to a large extent hand to hand encoun-, ters between the Germans and Cossacks,' in which the famous Russian cavalry scored a brilliant victory.

Purchasers of the -pamphlets and those in whose possession they are found also are prosecuted. - • One of the pamphlets demanded in large type: "When is .this series of great victories which,..according to the official bulletins from the front have been won for 12 months past to have a, practical outcome? What hope does there now remain* for the realization of that dream which for 12 months has been fostered by journalistic and parliamentary declamation, that there will be imposed on Europe a Germanic- peace?"" - .'■ The pamphlet goes on to discuss, much in the.*way of the typical German editorial, the situation and the outlook It ends with a> series of questions to the people of Germany. Other pamphlets consist of quota- tions frcm well known authors, par- ttrfhlarly". from 'Shakespeare .whose works are famdiar to. the majority of Germans. Another pamphlet touches on the Italian question. It begins: "■Who is* tiie insane enemy of the German people who wants to involve us in a war with Italy, that cherishes the hope of giving up another enemy?" Austria Denounced But the question of Italy seems-to be only of secondary consideration, the main purpoae of the pamphlet, being a denunciation of Austria. Incidentally it contains some deprecating remarks regarding Bavaria. ■ "Italian hostility," it says, "is a gjft which Austria lias made us. The lively sympathy and the popularity which the war against Italy has aroused in Bavaria finds, of course,, at least part of its explanation in the attachment which the southern kingdom always has felt for the allied empire. We might add that Austria already has reason to be satisfied with the formidable assistance which Bavarian soldiers, incorporated in her regiments are rendering her in the not by any meana easy struggle with her enemy to the west (the Italians.) "Let us demand the right to be consistent. Before It was too late we Germans wanted bur government to adopt energetic measures with Austria to prevent war occurlng with Italy. Our wishea were not attended to. Let us n.ew.refuse to-have the fatherland drawn iiito any warlike obligations merely on account of solidarity. We. the people caii prevent it. ^re we willing to make the attempt?" Not all the pamphlets are marked -by this tone of moderation or calm reasoning.

Taylor goes on to say that the provincial gov-. ermiK'tit has no interest in tlie matter further than the public interest involved, and consequently- the intention has been from the first to endeavor to complete this very important road with as iittle expense Co the tax- paying public as posible. He writes: V"J think r can sirfely say without fear of contradiction that I have probably taken .more active-interest in the inauguration of this work than any other individual in the province," ami further "at all events,being responsible for tlie recommendation of the -camp at Edgewbqd to the internment, department, and after considerable corespondenee and delay, the establishment of same, it seems to mc that.it would be the height of folly un my part to recommend its removal before any information A whatever has reached me as regards the progress of the. work, The Initial .cost to which you refer in connection with this camp.-viz., the hbuslbg of t'he-men and the establishment of the camp, is borne by the Dominion" government; the cost of tools powder etc.. however, is borne by the provincial government." Tlie minister i.f public -works concludes by-saying: "I have met with a great deal of criticism from public bodies and individuals on the supposition that I was proposing to withdraw the interned aliens from this work, hut I think that you will understand the same is absolutely unwarranted iii view of the circumstances above outlined. 1 have gone into the explanation of this maltej- rather thoroughly as I" appreodate the necessity of a proper understanding-*)!' -^thc course the provincial government is taking, and 1 feel that your convention will be only too ready and willing to endeavor to put at rest any misapprehension that may have arisen."

UtXDOX,—Relatives and friends of British soldiers who have taken part In,the. fierce fighting of the past few days in northern France have begun to' receive letters from the fortunate ones who "went unscathed through.the attacks, whife the casualty lists of those who met with disaster are beiiiK collected at the' war office and their relatives notified. Further consignments of wounded arrived at London at midnight. A picturesque story of the fighting at Hoo^e was told -by one of these men,.a territorial with six wounds in one arm inflicted by a type of bomb known as the uwhiz-bang." "Because we tpok trenches and did not hold them," he said, "don't imagine there was anything amiss at Hooge. All is going well and if there had been no such things as machine guns we would have gone straight through the whole Gernvm line and now be on our way to Berlin. Those trenches which we gave up we can take again, and, what is rhore, we, can.hold them when we want to do so. We don't give, up ground except on orders from superior officers, who sometimes decide the situation - in . adjoining parts of the line doesn't Justify the retention of certain advanced positions. "It is ridiculous to hear some people talk about our attack being a sur-' prise .to the Germans. It was so far from a surprise that the Germans had already brought up tremendous reinforcements against us on Saturday, including a small* army of bomb throwers. From dawn to evening the fighting was terrific. Our "brigade had known for days that we were on the eve pf a big movement, and the Germans also were expecting it-.- .' "The only orders I remember were a preliminary 'Get ready,' and. then the sharp command, 'Get over.' "We jumped the parapet without any superfluous motions and then', like a flash, the whole front moved straight ,across the' eighty yards whic'h separated us from the enemy's front trenches. Then it was bayonet work, and after an incredibly short time we were fighting fiercely between the second and third Hne.of German trenches. Our officers led us splendidly and the men are enthusiastic ove.r the whole job.1' "Brown is a very careful critic, Isn't he?" "In what way?"

PODS AW VICTORIA, B, C—At tlie4Canadiuh natiouiil exhibition, which opened ou Aug. 28 at Toronto, thero was shown, by direction of the llritish Columbia minister of lands, a j'ei-y complete and extensive display of British Columbia forest products In charge of a member of the technical staff of. tlie forest brunch. . The object of the exhibit was, to convey to the eastern public un idea of the great variety of westefn woods and the uses lo which .they cun profitably bo put in the east. Tho beauty of British Columbia panelling, doors and interior finish material was, therefore, specially ,featured. Heavy Douglas fir timbers wpre also shown, and the fact was emphasized that .Douglas fir is not only eiiuul but is .superior to Jung-leaf pine, its only Competitor as a structural matol'lal, because it gives somewhat greater strength combined with 20 per cent leHs weight, iin^l is much freer from sup. This latter point is important, on account of the tendency of sappy southern pine to dry rot. Proof of the durabllit-^ of British Columbia red oedar polos were, shown by sections of poles still sound which have been in use near Vancouver for over u tjuarter of a century, in fact, ever since tho completion of tho Canadian ' Pacifio railway. The nine 'principal grades of British Columbia .shingles were shown in the form ot sections of roofs. Tho effectiveness ot thc exhibit wus beyond oucstion and drew attention once more to the need of continuous missionary, work in the oast on lie- half of the forest products of British Columbia. A cunvass of the leading buyers, as woll as the remarks vmade by the thousands of people who Inspected the display, revealed u general surprise at the obvlousisupcriority of Douglas fir. over southern pine in beauty of appearance. Paint manufacturers were impressed witli the remarkable way in which this wood sets off the various stains and varnishes and were anxious to obtain fir* samples for displaying their products. Thn showing of British Columbia tfoors and of the thicker varieties of shingles was also very effective. Miss PenelTTilow—Your aunt is an awfully slender woman. Isn't she'.'

He was frank in * reuling with facts and did iiot dodge the conclusion that progress- Would -be slow- and -money * dear in Canada for a number o'f years nftei! i the war. Nevertheless he expressed I confidence that all Canada's legitimate borrowings would be safe as to prln-i cipul and interest, and declares he has never wavered "in tlie belief that the country will have a great economic future. Mr. Ililey contended, that Canadian credit had beeii extended rushly and thJa condition had existed ' until the money panic started in New York in loll, when there was a distinct pause! Mr. Ililey thought thnt It-Would have boon well had the check been continued longer than it was. Soon It became known thai Canada wns good for all the money It hud'borrowed, and Investors had become generous. Can-j ada not only got the oredlt to which it was entitled, but credit was e'x-i tended ruslily. In a. short time this saw Canada'ij credit being misused. This state, of Affairs brought its Inevitable reac-i tion. In 11)13 thc Canadian 'Northern railway fouiid the hondmi bunks wore plosod against it, and Canadian Pac'iflij railway stock .lmd been fhri down 100 paints. European crodltors went to the other limit or Criticism. There was n general default made all over Canada, sumetiinus on bonds, some*, times on preferrod stocks nnd sometimes on both. In the next year there was it period, of retrenchment und readjustment until llio war broke outi and ln so far ns the .Canadian specti' lator was concerned the war might be said to have saved the situation for him. - Mr. IUiey thought that ufte.r the war the iSui'openii investors w.ho.ha'i been 'disappointed in t^niad'o woiild forgot tbe real etinse of thi» disnp- pointmont and iiscrlhe it to the war. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) .MONTREAL, <X-t. 12.—The annual im-etlng Jf the Grand Trunk Pacific- was held today when officers and directors were chosen. President Chamberlain in his address outlined the extent of the constructional work that had heen accomplished i» the last year and reviewed prospects for the future. E. .1. chamberlain was re-elected president. Other officers are: M. Don- manager: \\'. 11. Biggar, K.C., -I. E. Dairy ni pie. and Frank Scott, vice-' presidents: Henry Phillips, secretary; Prank Bcott, treasurer; W. II. Uiggur, general counsel; M. Ilardley, comptroller. The board of directors was reconstl-' tuteii substantially as before. The prt-sideiit stated that as the l-.-iilwuy was nearing completion eon- struclion work during (he past year hud been confined to necessary ballasting and iuidgiiig, principally on the northern division and no,new extensions had been undertaken. ■ Oil account of the great saving of time required for transportation in' coiisedu'enee of the close proximity pf Prince Rupert to the fishing grounds, the fishing interests, have been eager to avail themselves of this oppprtuiiity to increase their operations. The future development of th-i industry promises an availablo and rapidly growing traffic for the railway. While the developments of that portion of llritish Columbia through which the railway passes has not been as,great as it otherwise would liave been, consentient on tbe wnr and the financial situation, Mi!. Chamberlain said, nevertheless development is going on through this section. A number of settlers have, takaty up land In the Nechuko and Bulkley valleys ■and the outlook for mineral development Is good. In Manitoba "and Alberta lnoreanqd' acreage of now Intid Is being brokdn gacli year and put under crop, apd this activity, has continued during the year along (lie Grand Trunk Pacific and its branch lines as large areas of now land are being plowed-for next..year's crop.

But now the military authorities are found to he extending every possible facility and encouragement, and this new phenomenon ls directly attributable to their dearie to help Russia with necessary Supplies to carry on the war. * ."It is really remarkable that such Q change has come over the attitude of the mililnry' authorities who, are generally identified with conservatism and exeluslveness of the first order. This is. considered to 'be one of 'the most striking effects of.the present war, and before it is ended it ls felt that Japan must be prepared (o receive much more of the. influence causing unexpected transformation in various forms. The war in Europe has already caused not u few unexpected tendencies, among which the new attitude of the military authorities is certainly the most conspicuous.

He went where he listed and no one stood in -front nf him when he wanted to.see the worst or the best. He visited the outer defenses of every important front in the east and constantly was under fire. The chance came to him as-the,son of a former and well- liked American ambassador to Russia and ns a marked expression of the good-will of Russia to the United States, lie-went to the front, not as a newspaper correspondent, though that was what he was and what he acted, but as "n distinguished foreigner, personally known to the grand duke." Mis duty, as Mr, McCprmtck conceived it therefore, was to,bring to America tin "information that 'was' denied ti others, above all to sec from within the militar'yNtrgnnization of a country geographically so like our own. Why Belgium Failed ' ^; ■Mr. McCormick is no jingo, no militarist, but 'he has.seen witli his own eyes, under conditions vouchsafed to no other, what failure in time of peace to prepare for war meana, and his plain statement of facts should go far towafd convincing those' who are in doubt of the necessity nt getting ready to defend ourselves. And he.shows that sticking a gun in the hands of a man and organizing a military force is not all that Is needed. We are. wont to praise the Belgians for holding up the German advance and disarranging' the kaiser's schedule and justlj, 'btft thf* "comment of a Russian commander best illustrates tlie point the writer seeks to make. Remarking to this officer on the facrThat <»ss(>- wetz, a much smaller^fort than Liege, Nartiur and Antwerp, stood more punishment lhan all combined, the latter said to the writer, "Vou cannot expect such untrained troops as the'JReI- gians Ht'. stand high explosive shells and you know there is no instance of Untrained men stopping a bayonet attack in the open." The way to defend a fort, is tu fight from the utmost range of. your.giuis. continually shelling the advancing trenches, counter-mining and counterattacking. Dispersion and .concealment ape the cardinal points of modern "forts. "When a garrison is driven he- hind its parapets', the enemy's fire being more concentrated, becomes more deadly. Xo longer can the defender depend upon the security of a wall. The soldier must never get the idea that ihe fort ifc to keep him from contact with the enemy.

Russian Temperament in Armor Mr. McCormiek's. view of n». Rus-. Minn nrmy is interesting, particularly Ills picture, of the Russian sold'ierf which shatters our preconceived -Ideas mi the subject. The Russian infantry is equipped and trained to make the most of the Russian tempera ment and the Russian physiiiue,. w.hich is far ahead of any other in. Europe. This is :i difficult statement for any other nationality to admit. The Germans and Austrians have not made'the state*? inent; -but they have acted upon t|ie fact. Hack in the time that Suvaroff ■led the Russian army all the way to Italy, the Russian Hns had n tradition of fighting with the bayonet. Perhaps lie has always shot less well than, Ms enemy, hut ha«- certainly beeii" his physical superior. The average Ilussian soldier Is half a head taller than other soldiers, weighs . 25 pounds heavier, and is more athletic in build. Furthermore, the Russian does not think of rifle fire, as Americans nnil English do. He is trained In. marksmanship and shoots the long range ,,s well, as .-my trained soldier, but to fire .'it a man ten feet away would not occur to him." The Russian morale is based on the theory of bayonet "fighting, just as the military pleas of l-'reil- jerieli the Great. turned ' upon the" effect of file. The Russian'soldier lives and iiMirlies, retreats and charges and fires, with, his bayonet always fixed on . his rifle and fixed in his mind. Other nations *'.*remo've the liaynnet (hiring fire, fighting. The Russians, however, look upon the bayonet as an arm of execution ami depend upon the terror cruised by the use of if for effect.

Close to midnight three of us started off, accompanied for a short distance by an -officer. The route 1 selected was one along an old swampy ditch, which took us occasionally almost te the knees in soft, sticky clay: Along this we crouched for over 100 yards. "Then we slithered* out Into long grass, which in some part's approached u height of,some.three feet.

"Almost at the next moment a terrific machine gun and rifle fire opened from the enemy's trenehes. We lay light. Thc flares were now going, up, and the feeling was most uncomfortable. All around was brighter than day, and we expected every moment to get a shower of lead pumped into us. The shower passed by and we crawled away, after having got a view of the enemy's lines. "We had not crawled very far when a sniper had evidently spotted us. His bullets were hitting all around, hut we still crawled towards the .old ditch, expecting at any moment to be knocked but. "At last we arrived at its side, but here we had to slip over the small hank of which the sniper must have hnd full command. We decided to get over one at- a time. Whenever • the sniper fired, one of us rolled, over, bombs and rifles being previously thrown ln. We found this part of the ditch to contain an amply supply of mud and water. However, we started to navigate our way along, and during our slow procession we had the satisfaction of witnessing the Huns' lines subjected to our artillery fire.

His loss will be mourned by a great many of the pioneer settlers of the province as well as by scores of people .ill this city, by whom he was always' held in He was the oldcs.t member of the sincere esteem,'-says' the Victoria Colonist, ' „ llritish Campaigners' . association of this city, and during his connection with that organization his influence was far-reaching- ah'd much appreciated. The association, by his death, is mourning one of its best and most. highly, respected' members. The late Mr. Fernie was born Si years ago at Allonliurg, Iluniingdon- Shire, England,. The date of his* birth was Oct. 111. I.S30; so, hail he lived a few weeks longer he would have reached his-eighty-fifth birthday. He was educated in the. old country and before coming west he served wilh the British army in history-making 'campaigns. Mis military career..was an eventful one, and he delighted in recounting his adventures and telling -of thrilling incidents during the Crimean war and the Indian mutiny. While serving In the Crimea he wore the stripes of a sergeant and was given .the Crimean medal with four clasps at the conclusion of hostilities. He was also awarded the Inkerman, Alma, Balaclava and , Sebastapot medals, as well, as tbe Turkish. Ran Away from Home He first volunteered with the Queen's army in 1S-I8, being attached to the Royal Horse artillery. He had heen educated for an architect, but, being dissatisfied by .the knowledge that such an occupation would provide no adventure, he ran away from home and. despite the {searches niade by liis relatives, no trace of him was found .until it became known that he had joined lhe fighting forces, although consider-' ably under -age.'No "amount of .per- suasian would convince him of his mistake -and he consequently remained with the army for many years.' Shortly . after the outbreak of.the. Crimean war, W[r, Fernie, then only a youthi made, his. departure by sailing ship from Kngland with the Royal Horse artillery as a member olt~C. battery. The vessel stopped at Constantinople ou the way to the scene of battle and,' after a perilous voyage, reached Kalamita bay. north of the river Alma. Sergt... Ferule,; with the artillery, crossed the river under fire from the heavy Russian guns mounted ou an eminence. Although the gun's of the. R. H. A. were only 12 and 24*. (Sounders, capable of' sending a projectile only a few hundred yards and mnde of brass, the first meeting with the scattered battalions of Russian infantry ani! isolated batteries proved successful. ' for the ' heights were mounted' aiid the enemy driven from his strategic position by force of arms. Three days later the Russians barred the entrance to the harbor of Sebasta- pul by sinking Ships. This action made the fighting at Balaclava, on the other side, of the promontory won by the ■Hritish artillery necessary. Sergt. Fernie, while standing upon a hill overlooking the scone of battle, saw the heavy brigade charge tho eiiemy, while he also saw the historic charge of the light brigado. Present at Inkerman Sergt. Fernie also was an eye-witness of the attempt made on Nov. S. 1864, by the Russian cavalry on the plains of Inkerman to break the British line. In this engagement the Royal HbrHe hrtillery took.a. prominent pint, although the infantry was responsible for. the victory. The vision of the battle never became dimmed in the veteran's riiehTary arid he-never tired of describing the action. ^ When the war had been finally won, Sorgt.

TURK A CLEAN FIGHTER, "Thfe Tbrk is a clean fighter, who does not, stoop to such horrible methods of warfare as practised by the Germans," says a Blantyro miner who has come home wounded from Gallipoli. , \ ' ■ "But they aro extremely cunning," he remarked, "and aro up to all sorts of tricks, especially the snipers, who paint themselves green so as to harmonize with the foliage. Some of them attack small branches of trees t.Q-their clothing, and 'go about making a noise like a hedge.' "One day some of my comrades and I became suspicious with regard to what a big tree some distance off was hiding. We let fly a volley at it, and perha ps not* to our very great surprise, down camo lialf a dozen Turks, and with them a maxim gun." "One Turk who We succeeded In taking prisoner had made a good bag, end evidently being quite sure that he would be treated honorably and not shot was elated at Ills success and ii^ cllnod to boast about It, for. he calmly Informed his captors that he had accounted for at least 40 at their Comrades.

NELSON'S BUSY STORE PHONE 34 P. 0. BOX 1083 HAS AN EYE ON THE Frenchman with Telescope and Map Keeps Tab on Germans. (By Herbert Corey.) In .the field nenr Nancy, Sept. 15— Py mail—Now and then the observer removes his right eite. from the end ot the long green telescope. He groveled in tbe pocket of his military overcoat of faded blue until he found the crumbs. He threw these crumbs in ft-ont of his hidden post upon the neutral ground between the lines. '•Sometimes," he said, "a. little mouse comes to eat ray crumbs. He is a very fine little mouse. '.Quite tame." The observer said ihe/ was foiid of animals. He was about to relate the story of a mng-ple he once owned when some flicker of movement in the Oerman lines enii'ght his eye. For ii few moments he was rigid. Then he- jabbed a pencil point upon a map which bad been drawn upon an ordinary piece of letter paper. "Just tliere," said he,. The Oermans aro digging a trench. Tonight wo should catch them at work at it. Ono shell should do the trick.'' The observer snt wulte at his east in the very edge of the forest of Chahipnouix, which Is near Nancy, the capital of tihe department of Meur- theet-Moselle. Tho slope on the open ground before him was covered with a perfect mave of barbed wire, supported 'on slender posts so that the topmost wire was waist high. Some- wbcre in that tangle of wire were the French fire trenches . of tho French army of Lorraine. In those flro trenches French soldiers were contentedly sitting about. I uso the word ''contentedly"- advisedly. Never ave I seen an army whieli so nearly seems to enjoy war. The barbed wire of the Germans seemed almost to meet the barbed wire of the French. There was no sign of 4ife In that pasture baking under the August sun. A rabbit could not have hopped thore unobserved. A man could not have walkpd five, steps nnd lived. With Telescope and Map. "My cat," said the observer, "grieves me] Sho follows me hero from camp eaoh day. I fear she is after my little mouse.'' He was sitting in a pleasant shelter, just big enough to hold four men. It was so covered with vinos and the fresh branches of trees that the Qer- man observers could not distinguish It from Its leafy background. Propped up under his eyes in front was a long board, on whioh he had..P.encllled a careful panorama 6f the landscape. Tho long green'telescopo was fixed to a permanent rest. Under his elbow was a portfolio of sectional maps of this some landscape, drawn to large scale. " . . , "Every tree is on 'these maps," be said. "Almost every rock." The procedure of the observer seemed to be ratber simple as ono watched him. On the shoulder of a hill near the village of 800 yards away and Held by the Oermans—tho enemy Is digging a trench. They dig at night as the French do. No man daro appear ih the open by day where V these trenches confront each other. Each morning the observer has watched that thin brown line whicli is a trench advance a little further into the open. His experience tells him In which direction that tre.nch will be advanced. Tonight the Germans must redouble their efforts to carry it over a hillside which Js dangerously exposed. "So that I shall send, word to tlie battery," said, the observer. " shall givo them this sectional map drawn to large scale, on which I have made a mark with a pencil. Then pout; no more Germans." A part of the observers duties Is to seo to It that tho observer on the other sldo Is klllod. That Is a gross and unpleasant way of putting It, I know. War has become so systema- tlzed-*-so thoroughly a part ;of every day's routine—that Its moro unpleasant aspects aro almost forgotten. Thla observor now lias no unkind feeling toward the observer on the other side. It is roeroly that it Is his duty to see to it,that the observation post of tho Germans is destroyed. That a necessary portion of this destruction will be tho death of tl»e observer seems not to ooour to him. T think I know whero the post is," said he. "I have beon watching that bush for days. As #oon ns I nm certain we will smash it." Finding the Other Side's Man. , It was only a week before. It appears tbat the observer had detootod one of the observe** on the other side. It was quito b» accident. The observer said it was a lucky chance. The German was excellently hidden In a hole in the side of ttje hill.

I/ONPON-—An accident ended the career of the youngest air squadron commander in the royal flying corps when Copt. Olibort W. IV Mapplo- beck, D.S.O., was dashed to earth recently while testing a new French monoplane. Captain Mapplebeck, a Liverpool boy, had npt yet attained his 23rd ■year, tuid received Mis commission only about six months beforo the outbreak of the war, after finishing a course at Hendon. It wns on August 13 of last year that young Mapplebeck flow over to Franco, to Join tho newly arrived British expeditionary force. Hy was the first British airman to make a re- connajsanco of the Oerman lines, and later the first to drop bombs. During the retreat at Mons he scouted above the advancing Germans, and by his reports kept the British troops from bolng overwhelmed. On September 29 he was shot in an air duel 6,000 foot abovo tbo German lines, yet managed to reach the British lines, although lie was unconscious whep found. Ho was shot through the abdomen. His mother came - over to France and nursed him back to health. Sho has now received a letter of, condolence from tlie king. The airman's Distinguished Seryloe Order medal was ro*, celved in the King's New Year honors.. On leaving the hospital, Captain Mapplebeck declined to return to England or to accept less hazardous duty, and was sooil back ln his machine. On March 11 he took part In the first aeroplane raid to bo made in tht night against the Germans. Of the three nirmon raiders, one was klllod and another brought down within the British lines, while Mapplebeck was compelled to land near Ldlle. Setting firo to his machine ho escaped Into tho woo<ls, where ne hid for threo days, subsisting on tho chocolate' he bad carrleij with hlm. Then he found shelter in a.,French peasant's family, and later worked his W«y to Holland and thon to England ns a French peasant. .

But It Is stranger still that the birds seem to have actualliy ranged themselves on the side of the allies against one of tho most Inhuman of German methods of warfare. A soldier on short leave from the trenches tells how the winged friends of tho allies warn them of tbo coming of clouds of poison ggs when the Germans attempt tha method of attack at hlght time.
