Belligerent Nations in Ancient Europe Classed Their Ne'gbbo.G as Either Alli������R or Enemies In ancient" times nations at war classed their neighbors as either allies or enemies, writes Herbert W. Bowen in tbe .lanuui-y (Jasc and Comment. Neutrality as an international relation was not recognized. Thoro were no neutral rights and no neutral duties. International law itself existed only in a very rudimentary form. It was not until alt-i* tho fall of Rome aud until tho nations of Europe*, had become numerous ami wore asserting and exorcising comparatively equal prevention and power that their interests became so conflicting that they perceived tho necessity of establishing and supporting a system "of law that must ho applicable to them in their relations one with another.

Of neutrals, whom he called middlemen in war, he had but little to say. Byukershoek. who was born twonty- five years after the peace of. Westphalia was signed, and who was one of the inost distinguished successors of Grotlus, ywas, if not the first, at least among the first, of publicists to define and explain neutrality authoritatively, an*.v to give to it a permanent -and prominent place in the law of nations.' -.- !^AinOv������i2-i^itv# ^a__j&^wfl.*i* The disease gurras that oau.e Bl. temper.

The Evening Ledger published a picture of this new instrument of warfare recently. It is about eight inches long, so grooved that it falls point down, and woulci, it is. said, if it hit a man square on the top of the head, go straight through him lengthwise. The order was rejected "for reasons of neutrality." It might just as well have been rejected for reasons of humanity. The whole world shuddered when bombs were dropped on Antwerp. Since then men have become accustomed to such outrages, which apparently have been perpetrated by Germans and Allies alike. Wo can conceive of no emergency which would justify the use of aeroplane darts, resistless and death dealing. Thoy can serve no niHttary purposes. As well poison tho water supply. As the war progresses cruelly becomes moro nnd more tho vogue, although the world has been so chilled by outrages that thoy are accepted as a matter of course.���������-Pnlhirtelpliiu Kvenlng Ledger. Camel"**. Love of Tobacco The camel, who is taking his-part in the campaign against Turkey, is not, according to most travellers, a very companionable beast, but he has at least one human weakness���������a love of tobacco. One of the methods used by Arabs in taming wild camels is to fix a kind of cigar hokler in the animal's mouth and insert a huge loosely rolled cigar. As soon as the camel starts to draw it becomes remarkably docile, and quickly learns to inhale the smoke and emit it through the nostrils. The one drawback of the system is that the knowing brute becomes a confirmed smoker, and refuses to budge without his cigar. Woman Made Opera Cloak of Prairie Chicken Feathers The latest and most unique oddity in the way of wearing apparel was -exhibited by a leading down-town furrier, Toron_6, in the form of a lady's opera cloak made of the feathers plucked from prairie chickens. The originator and manufacturer is a woman who lives on a farm outside of Saskatoon. She is asking ������10,000 for the creation. The price seems exorbitant and out of all proportion to the value of such an article, bin a few facts about the making of it may explain-- ;��������������������������� Twelve years ago, the owner saw a picture of the ermine robe worn by British royalty. She. conceived the idea of making such a one with the substitution for the feathers frbm prairie chickens for the extremely expensive fur. For twelve years she toiled unceasingly, holding ever in her mind's eye, the conception of the un- ished cloak. A slight idea of the amount of work required can be given by the T&ct that 3.697 prairie chickens had to be killed, plucked and every feather trimmed and /clipped, then matched and sewn on the cloak. Every feather that went, on the creation had to be sewn in three different places. In Its finished state, the opera cloak is full length and has an'unusual appearance, each feather -being white with a brown centre. To take the place of fasteners, the heads of the birds, three-down each side, have been sewn on. It is lined with brocaded silk. ' It is understood that if the owner is unable to find a purchaser in, Toronto, she will travel to Ottawa and endeavor to induce the government authorities there to include the cloak in the exhibit which will be sent from Canada to the World's Fair at San Francisco this year. ������������������|Ef9fS9_-'B9_'9 Ii U bread and watch ~ them sftille Can be had from your Grocer - HELP WANTED���������FEMALE Ladies wanted to do plain'and light jewing at "home,"whole or spare time; good pay; work sent any distance; charges paid;.

A special report from Delhi, says: His Excellency Lord Hardin ge,v the viceroy, delivered a striking speech before the vice-regal^council on the participation of the empire - ? India in the war.

"It Is no exaggeration to say that Enver Pasha's military clique, under Germany's compulsion, betrayed the interests of Islam, anl that the Turkish government, in submitting to it, has abdicated Its sovereignty .and Turkey must now face the consequences of those actions, But however the tide ��������� of events may share, there can be no doubt" that tho holy places shall remain inviolate, and that Islam will still be one of the gieat world forces. "From the moment that the intervention of Turkey appeared probable, it was clear that amongst the Moslems of India there would be a natural sentiment of sympathy with a great Mohammedan power. But when the character and motives of this war became fully known and realized by tho Moslems of India, any such sentiment was absolutely swept aside by their feelings of unswerving loyalty to the King-Emperor and to the .empire whose cause they re- rf.rtgmz_'! to- V!e~-that of freedom, honor and Justice.

New Projectile To Create Havoc Tt British Inventor Has Shell That Explodes In Incinerating Flame ���������- The military correspondent of the Standard writes: "We have so often heard of inventions that will mak-i war impossible, of engines of destruction so powerful that human flesh and blood eannot stand against them. The pigeonholes of every ministry of war in the world -must bulge with particulars of discoveries of this nature, and yet we find men killing one another crudely with cold steel, just as they did in the days of the^Crusades. One is inclined, therefore^ to be sceptical. And. yet the feats of modern science are very wonderful, and \tliere are real as .well as make": believe workers of magic. Wireless telegraphy, the heavier-than- air flying machine, a number of achievements in surgical "and medical science, havo so impressed us that we no longer, dare to say - that anything is impossible. In that spirit, then, we approach the assertions of the crop of inventors who are proposing to supply us with the means of worsting our enemies in the present war. It goes .without say- 'ing that most of these proposals are worthless; but there are some Which demand attention. We learn, for instance, that a person deucribod as "aj distinguished English chemist" has produced an explosive substance the effect of which when used in artillery shells is "annihilating." It Is said that a shell Mled with this substance will, on detonation, give out n blast of flame, over n/mllo long and nearly two hundred yards wide, of so in ton bo a nature" that nothing can live in the area of its passage. . Men, animals and things aro 'urnod instantly into a Hcorchod and charred mans, and all the atmosphere within tho radius of the explosion is so nffeotod that Instead of supporting 11^ destroys llfo, ohomical notion bohiK. brought to bear on the oxygon that It contains.

Nickel for Alien E������emy Naval and Military^'Record Takes up Important Question The Naval and Military Record under the title "War Material for the Enemy," thus discusses the Canadian nickel industry: a ' . }." "There is a feelirig'ih soma quarters that our British sea power is, owing to various considerations, not producing on theu enerSy the economic restrictions which it ought to produce. On the one hand It may be recognized the foreign oiiiee has an extremely hard task in dealing witn the powerful neutral nations. -We-cannot afford in this struggle to alienate these who, remaining outside the influence of the war, yet regard us and our cause with sympathy. At the same time the nation ought to have the assurance Wiat effectual fheasures will be taken ���������to prevent Germanp or Austria-Hungary receiving material necessary ;o the production of war material. As an instance of the anxiety which Is felt in this connection wo have only to turn to the Canadian papers. Business men -hi the Dominion .fear that Canadian nickel is still reaching the enemy.

At the age of thirteen he scrambled aboard- the admiral's ship at Plymouth, marched up to .. splendid figure in blue and gold, and, handing him a letter, saiu, "Here, my man, give this* to the admiral.". The man in blue and gold smiled and opened ihe letter. "Are you the admiral?" said the boy. "Yes, I'm the admiral." He read the letter, and, patting the bny on the head, said: "You must stop and take dinner with me." "I think," said the. boy, 'T should like to bs getting or* to' my _bip.-" speaking as though the British navy had fallen ..o his charge. The admiral laughed and-took him down* to dinner. -*" I_ike Kitchener,- Lord Fisher's motto has always been "Deeds, No. Words," and' it is a remarkable fact that for manv years the- ship, he commanded always had the moft*. "Silence-r-Doeds j not AVords," displayed in a prominent position for tho edification of the offiiF ers. It was at an academy banquet some years ago that Lord Fisher told how he found another motto. When commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean he one day went to inspect a small destroyer, only 2f"0,'".'t'ons, '"but * such was her pride and swagg2r," said Sir John, "that she might have been 16,- 00Q.

Sa- 1 Lting me, the lieutenan'; replied," 'Let 'em all come!'" It was at this banqu;t also that Lord Fisher used a phrase which is particularly appropriate at the moment. "No soldier of ours can go anywhere," he said, "unless a sailor carries iiim en his back." It wars a phrase which brought down, the house,-but the cheers were .partially due to the fact that Lord Fisher, In tne whirl of his excitement, emptied a dec? nter of claret over the shirt front of Lord Middleton, who Was then secretary of war, and who was sitting next to him. ' merely obey orders' given by=������the imperial" and military authorities. For the, men in those high quarters defeat would be the end of all.

Since the more dreadful ending is in plain view, why not force the better ending now? __n4 the better ending, in the opinion bf this leading American paper, is nothing short of revolution. ' In Jone v f the most striking leadi ig articles which has appeared in- the American press since the outbreak of the war, t_.e"New York Times says': Germany is doomed to sure defeat. Bankrupt in statesmanship, overmatched in arms, under the ^noral condemnation of the civilized world, befriended only by Austria and the Turk (two backward'lcoking dying nations) desperately battling with the hosts of three great powers, she pours out the blood of her heroic subjects but cannot alter the final decree. Yet the doom of the German "empire may become the deliverance of the German people. A million Germans' havo been sacrificed, and a million homes" are desolate. Must other millions die and other millions" mourn -before the people of Germany take theTappeal iii*the court of reason and human liberty from the imperial military caste that rushes-them to ruin? They have full justification in the incompetence a*cd failure cf their rulers. - The world cannot and -will not let Germany win in this war. If she were to dominate Europe, peace and security would vanish from the earth. A few months ago the world only.������iimiy comprehended Germany. " It now knows thoroughly that for its own peace and safety the nations must demolish the towering structures of militarism iu the centre of Europe that ��������� has become the world's danger spot and greatest menace. Americans ot German birth or descent should see and feel the truth of the present position of Germany. It will be unfraternal and most cruel for German Americans to keep the truth "from Germans at home and to fail in their plaih duty" of making known to them how the imperial militaristic ideal has fallen* in the world's esteem and how the enemies they now confront' are but the first line of civilization's defences. l ' . - .

This, he declares, aniount-j to beginning* a retveat before they are ap- tually defeated. The critics also point out the large proportion of officers, Including colonels and lieutenant-colonels, amogn the prisoners, as indicating the demoralization of the Austrian army and the loss of the fighting spirit.

Owing to having very little first-hand information on the Valley his remarks on the soil were brief, merely remarking that his limited observation con-, vinoed him that the soil was mostly clay and that fall ploughing was advisable���������the frost, assisted materially in preparing the seed bed. For fertilizer he advocated a heavy barnyard manure on the clay lands, and well rotted mauure where ��������� the soil was Handy.-. Discussing crops, he urged the sowing of alfalfa. It had the greatest food value, would grow in two years and was good for from six to twelve years. It should be planted on clean land, following corn, roots or potatoes. If full sown sow it alone, butif spring planting was resorted to barley is a fine partner.

In stabling dairy cows cement floors were a decided drawback. The records show that cows standing ou an earth floor will give 20% more milk than those housed on cement. Stable temperature should never be above 50, and they should be well lighted���������the sun is the best disinfectant. Where a seperator is used milk should be skimmed as soon as it comes from the cow: If put in shallow p*ms milk house should have a temperature of 60 degrees." Where water cooled-a temperature of 45 degrees would cause the cream to rise thoroughly. In butter making uniform make and quality is essential. These factors had secured the markets for the New Zealand produce. The prairie butter makers were rapidly getting into line and if the B.C. dairymen want to compete they cannot afford to take chances on quality.

The white Dutch clover which thrives in these parts. cannot be excelled for' sheep pasture. The visitors had nice things to say of Mr. Rodgers' .enterprise, particularly in cattle.

I know of no hotter answer to such a question than a letter lately written bv a real farm boy to the Progressive l'urmer. This boy's name is Clyde Kvans and he lives near Abbottsburg, N.C.

"Siddle?" exclaimed Mr. Robbins staring, "why, yes, I reckon���������why, we all know Noah Siddle, and the place where the little devils live." "Good lord! what do you mean?" cried Hugh, starting to his feet in excitement and some fear. Mr. Hetherington sprang to his feet, too. He was very pale, and was almost as startled as Hugh at meeting again with this strange a.ul ominous expression. But, as if amused at their excitement Mr. Robbins burst into a laugh. "I suppose it does sound queer," he Bald, "but it is only the name we give about here to old Noah Siddle's place." - "Who is Noah Siddle?" asked Hugh quickly. "A very remarkable old man," replied Mr. Robbins, "as any one who, like me, is without prejudices is bound to admit, whatever his character'may be. He lives all alone on a farm the other side of Athens, and most no one has ever seen him, and those who have don't ever want to see him \o more." "Why?" asked Hugh.

"No," laughed Robbins, "Keene and his escaped desperado at loose are getting to be a real jest." But Hugh was not listening.

Too Lucky by Half Signing to his uncle to follow him, and saying something to Mr. Robbins about getting a little fresh air after their excellent supper, I-Iu^gh rose from the table and went out on the verandah that ran nearly the whole length of the front of the hotel: The man Hugh had noticed was sitting with his hands in his pockets, and his hat pulled over his none, apparently taking no notice of anything whatever, though It might have been observed thnt ho seemed to stir slightly as Hugh appeared. It happened that he was sitting with an empty chair on each side of him, and Hugh, motioning to his uncle to take ono, himself sat down on tho other, so that they had the stranger between them. Then Hugh touched him on the shoulder. "I beg your pardon," he said, "but I think wo havo met before." Tlio mini started, looked quickly from one to the other, und tiprang to his foot as if inclined to make a bolt for it. But Hugh caught him quickly by tho nrm, and the fltrangor submitted with a moekness that again might have ueemed just the least trifle mis- ploloUB. "So it Is yon, Ih it?"' ho said, and then ho begun to laugh. . "It Is," answored Hugh, "and 1 urn pleauod to observe that thin tlmo you nro white." "Ali,i yofi," said tho man, laughing again,l"I made u dnndy nigger, didn't I?" "And you havo tho Impudence���������" began Sir, Mcthorlngton in n rage, whon Hugh checked him with a gesture. "Wo must not, bogln with quarrel- ling," ho said, "though of courso our friend will understand--by-tho-byo, may I n_l( your munoY'' "John Dodd," tho man amnvored readily, "and 1 am Hiiro 1 don't want to quarrel.

Also in the genuine brand of contentment. - So the boy who leaves the farm��������� unless he be one who obviously is fit-, ted for successful- endedVor in some other field of activity���������is leaving the very best business proposition, all things considered, that this nation presents. He is turning his back on more than a living. He is turning his back on a life. And a life that counts'. Don't take the word of an unknown observer for all this. Listen to George Washington, who said: "Agriculture is at once they most noble, the most Healthful and the most useful occupation of man." Or consult any levelheaded business man in the handiest town or city. If this ..man knows and is honest, he'll tell you that for one farm boy who Is making good in the city ten Just are "getting past"���������barely making a living, and in order to do this working like slaves under conditions which make even a poor farm look like u quarter section of kingdom come. / ��������� He may point to one country hoy who has rlBon to fame and fortune, but that boy is an exedption.

The shareholders"of the Union Bank of Canada who attended the annual meeting held in Winnipeg, * on the 6th of January, had no" "reason to feel disappointed over the report presented to them. The record showed that a half century of careful business > had resulted in the building up of a j strong reserve, the .accumulation oi I ���������assets totalling over $81,500,000.00, aud in the establishing of the bank In a leading position among the banking institutions of the country. Net profits for the year 1914 amounted to over $712,000.00, as compa.-cd with $750,000.00 for the previous year. This contraction of $38,000.00 in net prqfits was to be expected owing to> ���������the" world-wide business depression, which included Canada in its sweep and affected the earnings of all our banking institutions, Apart from this one decrease the general showing., made by the ban_:,was satisfactory, while a number of gains were registered. Note circulation showed an increase over the figures for 1913, while current loans in Canada were j?4,000,- 000.00 more than in 1913. Total assets are over $1,000,000.00 greater than in the previous year, and now stand at $81,5617000.00. The increas^of $4,000,000.00 in current loans is rather exceptional and indicates' that the ������ank lias not been .curtailing credit to its customers, hut on the other hand-^has been doing its full share in catering to the business needs of the communities in which its branches' are located. At the same time that this generous jpollcy was pursued, the bank was careful to maintain an unusually large proportion of its assets in quickly available form, and tha liquid assets amount to 34.90 ���������oer cent, 'of the .bank's total liabilities to the public.

Dividend requirements absorbed $450,- 000.00,-the rate paid during the year being at the rate of 8 per cent, with a bonus of 1 per cent. ���������Tke sum of $215,0-0.00 was set aside for deprecia-. tion in securities, contribution to patriotic fund absorbed" $25,000.00, .while the officers' pension fund amounted to $10,000.00, leaving a balance to ba carried forward of $103,000.t)0. , The addresses of the president and General Manager were characterized by conservative optimism. They both took full recognition of the business depression which prevailed throughout Canada, and which affected the earnings of the bank, but at the same time expressed their confidence in the future of the country. President Calt pointed out that there was an increase in the land ready for crop next year amounting to twenty per cent/ and concluded his address with the Statement that "Hard work, courage and intelligent economy will undoubtedly bring us safely through the present ordeal." Altogether the report presented at the annual-meeting should prove satisfactory to the" shareholders; to their experiences in the treatment of the wounded, in the course of which' they say: "The destruction of tissue in bullet wounds is so gi*sat that each .side has repeatedly accused the other of using dum-dum bullets This is based on i.n entirely mistaken reading of the evidence.

Forest Reserve is Necessary Conservation of Watershed ef Lake of the Woods Required to Main- f tain Supply Lying near the western boundary of the province of Ontario, and extending into the province of Manitoba and the state of Minnesota, the Lake of the Woods system plays an important part in the water supply of that region. When surrounded by a timbered area, the watershed was amply protected. With the increase of population, however, the timber has become a prey to flro and to the unscientific forester, and under present conditions, it is only a question .<���������'������ tlmewhen all timber of any value will be removed. V The Lake of the Woods Watershed Is the great reservoir of the Winnipeg river and the waterpowers of the latter supply the city of Winnipeg and town of Kenora with light and power, At an early data, Shoal lake, a l_ iuulury to the Lake of the Woods, will furnish the water.supply for the. city of Winnipeg; construction work on the pipe lino Is at present under way. At the meeting of the Commission of Conservation in January last, Mr. J. B,. Challles, superintendent of the water power branch of the department of the Interior, proposed that this (llstrlct'be set aside as a forest reserve. The area is one hi which, owing to tho nature of tho underlying rock, tho flood run-oft' of the rivers is excessive. The fact that the southwestern portion of the lako Is in the Unltod States vendors the situation more difficult, in that it is not possible-Lo luut-i'lally ral30 tho. level of the water by conservation dams. For the perpetual honoflt of the surrounding territory, it Is of the utmost Importance that tho Lake of tho Woods district bo sot aside as a forest reserve, This would provide for the protection mid renewal of the timber, ahd for tlio maintenance of tho forcat cover, of the watershed. In this way tho waters of tko lakes, on which so many depend for tho supply of water, light and power, would ho conserved.���������-D., in Conservation.
