BC Historical Newspapers
The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette.

The picnic held on the school grounds last Thursday was well attended. All report having a good time. It still continues to rain and look? as though' the prophecy of the forty j^ears' rain had commenced. Miss' Annie Manery of Similkameen visited her- sister here while attending the entrance examinations. The Great Northern "is again running daily.- Let us hope that the tri-weekly service- is over for Keremeos. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott and family left for Victoria on Friday's train, where ��������� they ��������� will spend their holidays. -Mr. Elliott of Vancouver was in town on Tuesday looking over the . molybdenum properties at Ashnola and Olalla. ��������� Mr. Parrot of Penticton was in town on Friday and took back a' party , of friends to the sports held there on Saturday.

Dr. and Mrs. Ketchuiii of Oroville, with a party of friends, motored through town ou Monday on a pleasure trip to Princeton and Merritt. ' Another party of men visited the Black Diamond claim at Olalla, owned by Messrs. Carle and Wallace, and say it is certainly very rich in copper. Miss May Taylor of South Keremeos was a guest of Mrs. R. C. Clarke of Urba Villa chirring last week while she was trying her entrance exams. Mr. Granger, chief forester, of Victoria, and Mr. Melrose, district forester,- of Vernon, and H. H. Thomas, fire ranger, of Penticton, were in town on Thursday. Miss Ramsay left for Vancouver and Victoria on Saturday where she will spend the holidays. We are in hopes we will have her with us for another y.ear. Mr. Lloyd Armstrong and friend, Mr. Leckie, of Vancouver, arrived ill town on Tuesday evening from Vancouver, where Mr. Armstrong has been attending school for the past six months. Mr. Smith, assayer, and Mr. Fisher of Oroville were in town on Tuesday and Wednesday, after having made a trip up the valley as far as Coalmont looking up some mining claims for different parties. Mrs. J. A. Brown had several letters from her husband last week which said he was doing nicely but is afraid he has completely lost the use of his left arm and says he Avas sure lucky to get out with his life. His many friends hope for his speedy recoveiy. J. W. Bengough lectured to a large audience on Friday even ing , in tlie town hall. At the close of the lecture Mr. Bengough drew a very clever caricature of Judge Coleman which brought the highest price at the auction of sketches. Mr. Chowdy of the Tungstan property was in town on Saturday on his way to Penticton to consult with Messrs, Shatford and Turner in regard to finishing the government road as far as the Forks when the company will finish the road on into the mine. The two-day celebi-ation held in Princeton was considered the best that has been held in the valley for some time. The ball game pitched by. T. Daly on Friday was certainly very exciting and more so on Saturday when his brother Maurice pitched. Those who visited Penticton on Saturday from Keremeos were Mr. and Mrs. Orser and friends, Messrs. .Fisher and Kirby, the Misses Reta and Mildred Kirby, Mr. Keeler aud Misses Winnie and Annie Manery, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Barcelo, and Mrs. Kirby. Among those who attended the sports at Princeton on Friday and Saturday from Keremeos were Mrs. B. M. Daly, Maurice Daly, W. M. Daly and Miss Florence Daly, Mr. and Mrs. Frith and family, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. i Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. O'Daniels and daughter, Mrs. Cai-le 'and son Jack, Mrs. J. A. Brawn, Mr. Corbett, Mr. J. J. Armstrong' and Constable Bowen. ' Leonard Innis entertained his young friend to a party in the park on Tuesday, the- occasion being the anniversary of his birthday. .Among those present were "Jack Thomas, Alfred Mills, Wilford Madore,' Ophir Millius, Jack and Ralph Carle, Fred Gibson, Leonard and Ross Innis. A huge birthday cake adorned the center of the loaded table, which the children did justice to. Mrs. J. Innis received a box of souvenirs from her son Hill from France last week which are Avell worth going to see. There were jardiners made from the large shells, button hooks and paper knives made from the smaller ones, and a respirator worn when the enemy use the poisonous gasses, which is one of the most hideous,-looking things that one ever looked at, without even having to wear it. The sad news reached here last week in a letter from R. B Hogg that. Pte. W. JR. Hope had been killed in action in France on June 3rd. W. R. Hope, or bett.01 known as Billy, was perhaps the best known throughout the valley of any who had enlisted, as he had lived in the valley nearly ten years and was counted one of the old-timers. By his cheerful disposition and manly ways he had won the respect of all who knew him, and his heroic death was felt V6ry keenly by his many friends. The big car owned by the B. C. Copper Co., which has been running [twice or three times a week from Greenwood to Copper mountain, looked rather sick when it stopped here last Thursday on its way from Princeton after having been turned over the bank, the top being completely torn off and the wind shield shattered to pieces. The driver was look- iug real well after being pinned under the car in the river for about fifteen minutes. He managed to loosen his belt by which he was caught under the car and got out safely with very few injuries. } TOWN AND DISTRICT There was a large attendance of children at the school picnic Thursday of last week. i C. and Mrs. Orser-and Miss Hunsberger of Keremeos were visitors in town yesterday. G. R. and Mrs. Allen of Central left Thursday for a month's visit to the coast and California. Mrs. W. H. Burroughs and daughter left Thursday last on a visit to friends on Vancouver Island. No one has authority from the publisher to make collections in the . name of the Hedley Gazette. Linas A. Ford, Jas. O'Herin, John Reid and E. J. Judd were auto tourists in town from Loomis, Wash., this week. J The Hedley band report a splendid time at the Penticton celebration. About' forty Hed- leyites went over with the band. . - The W. F. M. are fitting up the old Gazette office to use as secretary's office, reading room arid general headquarters of the local union. :The streets of Hedley are sadly in - need of repairs. It is hoped Road . Superintendent Turner will give this his immediate attention. i The prize lists for the Keremeos Flower Show are being distributed. The- show will be held in the town hall, Keremeos, Friday, August 25th. '��������� George Price of Keremeos was in town Monday. Mr. Price is interested in a number of mineral clairiis in the vicinity of Olalla and Fairview. t Next Snnday eveningjmem- bers of the local Orange lodge will attend the English church in a body. Rev. Roberts Williams will give an address. D. Woods returned Monday after a week spent in Summer- land and other Okanagan lake points, organizing the Liberal forces for the- coming political fray. Miss Tompkins of the high school and the Misses McKin- non and Halliday of the pub- lie schools left this week to spend the vacation at their respective homes. J. K. Fraser has made arrangements to show in the Star theatre at an early date the films of "Britain Prepared." There are ten reels, and the price of admission will be $1. L. G. and Mrs. McIIaffie are winning golf prizes in Edmonton. We notice in a recent issue of a paper in that city that in a tournament Mr. McIIaffie and partner took first and Mrs. McIIaffie and partner a second prize. Officer Sproule returned from the coast Monday last. Mrs. Sproule will not return for some time, as she is visiting with friends on Vancouver Island. Mrs. W. A. McLean will not return until after her son Homer goes east with his regiment. J. P. MacSwain leaves Monday next for the Cassiar district to develop a kartoffel property he has there. He had intended going to the Slocan to open a macaroni emporium but One Tin Ling controls the market there and it was impossible to get concessions. The Princeton celebration was a great success. The Oroville ball team, with the assistance of the Dalys of Keremeos, put it all over the Princeton team and their Seattle pitcher. The other sports were well contested and the drillers made a record for the district, over 40 inches. F. Pritchard, of Nelson, representing the P. Burns company, was in town Tuesday. When told about the bunch of Similkameen Fruit Lands Co. cattle being sold at $43 a head, calves thrown in, he said he would like to have got them at $20 or $25 advance on that price. Yesterday morning the band received a donation of $5 from one enthusiastic American for playing popular American tunes on .the evening of the Fourth of July.- The band could stand' other donations without any of the- members getting heart- failure. However, they wish to thank- the donor, who objects to publicity. D. J. Matheson, J. E. Thompson,'R. B. Freeland, A. O. White, Ab. Hillier and John McLaugh- lan of Phoenix 'were in town Saturday-last. They asked for a parson and the genial clerk of the Great Northern found one for them.' They then started west with the parson, who has since been unnecessarily reticent in reference to the trip. It is possible that one of the party committed matrimony. Rev. Roberts Williams, of Princeton, N. J., Presbyterian, arrived in town last week to take over the mission field here. Mr. Williams is a graduate of Princeton. He is a full-fledged parson and carries a journeyman's Presbyterian working card. He spent the practical part of his apprenticeship among the miners of California, and Cobalt, Northern Ontario; the theory he got at Princeton, In an interview he stated that he had never been in prison except as a clergyman. This information is given for the benefit of those who wish to know all' about the parson. To the young ladies���������If surface indications count, the vein is a true fissure and worth locating.

We have been requested, to publish the following, which peared in the Similkameen Star of June 16th: "A sad case of paternal neglect came to light at Merritt last week when the infant of Mr. and Mrs. David Wallace died of pneumonia at the hospital. Wallace, it would seem, is a misfit. He is too strong for light work and not strong enough for heavy work. He imagines he is an artist and spends his time painting landscape pictures. His wife was in Princeton last fall selling and raffling these productions. The couple, left Merritt recently and are in Grand Forks. They left several small children, the oldest a girl of 17, to shift for "i i $72.50 Hall rent .$15.00 Advertising 5.00 Cheque to Red Cross 26.25 themselves, and to live, move, Cheque to band. . 26.25 eat and sleeP m oue room, smaller than the average horse barn.

The war has cost Great Britain about $7,500,1)00,000.: If we subtract from this tlie loans to other countries, which will presumably be repaid, and the money spent on feeding the soldiers, who would have had to be fed and clothed anyhow, though not so well in time of peace, we should have left, using the estimate of Sir George Paiso, a net loss to the country of about $2,500,000,000.

The "sit-ups" are accomodated in the wards least accessible, for most of them can spend the day on deck. On one trip the Britannic carried 3,216 patients.

The Aquitania on one of her trips gathered up '4,000 patients in the Eastern Mediterranean and landed them at this big base. She carried forty medical officers, 100 nurses, and 400 orderlies, besides a crew of over 600 men. The Mauretania on one trip brought back 2,200 patients. Most Eminent Medical Authorities Endorse It.

I found it very interesting to go about having talks with these boys and getting them to tell me all their troubles. After a chat it is wonderful how bright seme of them become. One night I was ' chatting with two lads, and as they got more and more confidential one of them pulled out two photographs and asked mo which of them I liked best. I looked at the photographs and said I thought they were both extremely nice young ladies, for I felt'I was treading on dangerous ground. Being pressed, however, for a decision, I eventually said I thought I preferred that one (handing the boy the picture.) 'Why, hang it all, he has chosen my sister,' remarked the youth with an injured air. "In spite of this little 6lip I encouraged the other lad to show me his photographs. He was very reluctant, but eventually produced his wallet, and, taking out a photograph, he held it out to me, saying, "There's my old girl, and she is the best in the world.' It was the photograph of an elderly, sweet-faced lady���������his mother."

The increase in the use of the telephone has been steady during the past few years, and war conditions do not seem to have interrupted the progress. The number of telephones reported as being in use in 1915 was 533,090, an increase of 11,946 over 1914. The principal growth was in rural districts. The net earnings of the 1,396 companies in Canada totalled $4,764,957, which was $350,091 better than the result of 1914. The total capitalization, of Canadian telephone companies now amounts to $74,285,000.

Women who take part in their erection are declared to be the deftest hands at the intricate parts. The wings require especially delicate handling. The ribs, bracing, and covering are all done by women under expert supervision. The French aeroplane engines are said to be the most portable of any in the world. Hundreds are required to meet' new demands, as. while marvellously complete and effective, they scon wear out. Decoration Instead of Vaccination It is alleged that not long ago the French military authorities expressed a desire to award, a decoration to thirty British non-coms., and privates for bravery on the field. - When the detachment of heroes paraded before General Joffre, he was somewiiat surprised to note that it numbered thirty- live. However, he was too polite to raise any objection, and the ceremony proceeded. The fact was afterwards ��������� brought out���������though not so far communicated to the French military authorities��������� that our own War Office had inadvertently sent forward, instead of the men to be decorated, a bateh that had been scheduled for vaccination. Venezuela is coming,to the fore as an importer of automobiles Since the middle of 1914, when the war started, the United States practically has had a monopoly of the trade.

So the Turk Vho did not keep pace with this de- opment���������lost- his soldierly reputa- n. The Balkan Leaguers beat him to pieces by their superior organi- ion equipment. He could not fight en without food or ammunition , inst armies which had plenty of i'th. And his great reputation as j, ideal warrior went to pieces in the jjfst Balkan war. The Serbs, the eeks and'the Bulgars were all bet- ��������������������������� than he was. , [But now . he comes back.

The present war must end at Verdun." . Verdun has been, compared to Friedland, says the Mail and Empire. Napoleon forced the Russian army to battle at Friedland in 1807, with its back to the river, with the object of occupying the bridges which would thus cut off retreat. Mackensen would follow Napoleon's manoeuvre in 1807 by forcing the French army to fight, its back to the Meuse, while Mackensen, attacking from the north, east and* south simultaneously would oe cupy the bridges of Verdun. The difference, between' Napoleon's manoeuvre and that of Mackensen is manifest. JNey took the bridges of Friedland, ��������� while th������, Kronprinz has not taken ,the bridges of Verdun, nor is there probability that they, can be taken. ( Verdun" was first mentioned In the "Itinerary of Antomus" (44 B. C), under the name of Veiodunum. After 1870, Verdun was created a first-class fortress, in the centre of a vast en- ^*tU&?3 J^E? aSrd��������� LrS!S I ta������ehed camp, destined to bar the Ijiild do to dislodge him.

They looked After his commissariat, too, and Ke did yot go.hungry as he did in the cam- pign before Adrianople. They taught ';'im about torpedo tubas and how to ���������Bunch mines and the best form of tenches and all the re'st of it. It was Herman leadership which made him ao ji'fective on the Tigris. Doubtless German organization kept him there jirough .all. the long months of the [Jeleaguerinent. We now read in his Jommuniques about the Black Sea Submarines; but almost certainly they jre German submarines. ' i What the Germans have done with jae Turk, hastily and hampered by Sjdverse conditions amidst the strain ,?nd distractions of this war, they will Jastly improve upon and augment if "hey are ever permitted to take over |he Germanize tion of the whole Turk- ^h empire after the war-is over.

A line of intercepting forts connects the entrenchments of Verdun on the Meuse with Toui on the Moselle to the south-east. It was at Verdun in 843 the' sons of Louis the Pious signed the treaty of division of the Oarolingian Empire. Louis of Bavaria took Germania Charles le Chauve, France, and west of the Meuse. Lothaire, Italy and the region between the Meuse and the Khine. The latter finally was prey to Germans and French ambitions. Louis -d'Autremer took Verdun, 979; Othon the Great recaptured it. Verdun was created the property of bishops in 1247. From the fourteenth century Trench influence prevailed in the valleys of the Meuse and Moselle; Lhe inhabitants of Verdun claimed the piotec- ti-.-n of Philip IV "the Goo-l," ton.of Philip III King of France, aril signed with him a treaty protection, and ������ hi lip IV gave to Verdua a French governor 13.10-1330. The annexation of Verdun to the royal domain was one of the consp- quences of the rivalry between Austria and France. Charles V prepared to invade France in 1551, and imposed a garrison on Verdun Henry II King of France, captured Verdun, also Toul and Metz, and the '. reaty of Cateau- Cambrcssis (1559) confirmed the possession. In view of the present conflict the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis is destined to be frequently mentioned, and its conditions should be clearly defined. The treaty was sighed the 2nd of April, 1559, between toe plenipotentiaries of Henry II King of France, on the one part; those of the Queen of England, Elizabeth, and Philip II King of Spain, on the other part. That peace put an end to-the wars>of Italy and to the first period of rivalry of the houses of France and of Austria. Of these conquests France retained only Metz, Toul and Verdun;, with their territories, and Calais. : Verdun was besieged by the Prussians^ in 1792, and was defended by JNicolas Joseph Beaurepaire; lieuten: ant-colonel of volunteers of Mayehn'a and Loire. Although badly supported by an undisciplined and disaffected national guard, Beauprepaire resisted with energy the demand of the DuEe of Brunswick to surrender. But during the bombardment the royalists caused a part of the population to revolt, and Beauprepaire, unable to continue his valiant defence, blew out his brains,; and Verdun capitulated September 2. 1792. During the Franco-Prussian war Verdun was again besieged (October 12, 1670). Notwithstanding the wretched conditions, the defence was maintained with energy, and surrendered only November 8, 1870. This country of the Meuse department formed by a part of the Champagne and the ancient .duchy of Bar, has its prefecture at Bar-le-Duc, 254 kilometres, or. 159 milea east of- Prussia. The historic Kiver Meuse rises in the department of the Haute-Marne passes through France, Belgium and Holland, passes Verdun, Sedan, Me- zieres, Namur, Liege, Maastriccht, ! Rotterdam, and falls into the sea; it is 578 miles .in length. The country presents another intensely interesting side. M. Vidal de la Blache says on this head: ''All the geographical vocabularly there, is impregnated with those old Gallic names of waters and of summits, deue. nont, couse, dun." For example, south of Verdun, there are Dieue, Somme- Diue, Nant-le-Grand, Nant-le-Petit, Nantois -dans-le - Barrios, Cousance, Cousance-aux-Bois, Duh-sur - Meuse; unknown or forgotten places until the war, but destined henceforth to publicity because they have become the stage of the drama which is still be- insr unacted. Dun is a Celtic suffix common to a number of ancient places; Loudon Issoudun, Chateaudon, Sivirdun. The Latins converted dun into dunnm to indicate a fortified castle. Verdun in the time of the Gauls was then as now an obstacle in the way of an enemy approaching from the Woevre. A great number of names of place names thus: "Bois-vert," "Bois-noir," "Bois-enhache" ��������� greenwood, black- wood, chopped wood. Bois-noir in the Roman epoch waa called "Niger- lucua," Armenians Dying For Lack of Food Forced to Eat Grass But Still Decline to Renounce the Christian Faith Buffering' among the Armenians in Turkey, Persia and Syria is still intense and they are dying by hundreds for want of food and are in urgent need of aid, says a message from Constantinople, made public by the Ameri -can committee for Armenian and Syrian relief. The request for aid, sent by representatives of the committee in (Turkey through the-department of state, stays a minimum of $52,800 a month is ��������� needed for relief in Turkey alone. Conditions in many quarters, says the message, are so distressing that the Armenians are forced to eat grass, and yet despite these conditions .they continue to stick' fast to their christian faith, although a change to Mohammedanism would quickly relieve their plight. The number of non- combatants affected is one million. In Aleppo, says the message, 1,350 orphans are destitute. In Marash -10,- 000 Armenians are threatened with deportation and the government has refused to allow the Christians to transact business of any kind to support themselves. In Tarus, where it is,estimated 92,000 exiles have passed through, typhoid is prevalent. In Sivas there are 25,000 destitute children from the coast towns. All of these towns, beside many 'others,,'it is stated, are in great and urgent need. Preparing for the Bio; Scene Forecast That an .Offensive on an Unexampled Scale Will ,be attempted on Western Front The view that the Allies are preparing for an immense offensive upon the western front and that the Verdun offensive was a desperate attempt by the Germans to force them into the attack prematurely is set forth in the following article from the N.'Y. Evening Post: |( Verdun,- a mighty episode in itself, is only the prelude to the climatic act, and probably the final act, of the war drama. Above' the grim. orchestration of the guns on the Meuse there come from behind the curtain the vague sounds of scurryiogs that immediately precede the darkening of the house and the'upflare of the foot-v lights. England hurries through conscription. Russians come across fifteen thousand miles of land and sea to take their place on the front. Fresh Canadian forces cross the Atlantic. Australians are ferried over to France from Egypt. Verdun, to change the figure,- is a colossal vanguard operation. The French have been battling for nearly twelve - weeks to cover the great mobilization of the Allies for what they hope will be the decisive attempt. The Germans have been trying to break up this mobilization either by smashing through the French line, or. by putting at in such peril as to disarray the Allied plan. If the British army, for "example, after the infinite preparations which have been going on since last September, could 1 bev compelled to trust ������6 the rescue of the French on the Meuse and fight along lines laid down by the -Germans, it is plain what the profit would be for the kaiser's leaders. This explains the continued fury of the German onset, and the heroic tenacity of the French. At any cost the Allies must retain the initiative, the power to strike only when they are. completely prepared. ��������� Of: the general nature of the pre- paratoins which the British army has been conducting there can be little ddubt. It. is ��������� the same painful process of minute study which preceded the French attack in Chamrjagne last September and the present German attack around Verdun. It means the spying ';��������� and mapping of every ditch in the network of trenches which make up\ a single "line," every bastion and redoubt and farmhouse, every hillock and copse, every concealed machine gun. It means the plotting out of all conceivable gun ranges. It means more than anything else tho most minute preparations for bringing up the reserves after the first shock of battle, with the. memory of the ghastly failure of the reserves around Loos. It is from this vast preliminary work that Joffre would not let his Allies be diverted at the hottest moment around Verdun when British aid could have been readily brought up. It must be assumed that as far as human foresight can provide the Allies are providing against error. But the main reliance is on numbers; and it is in this respect that we must expect the Allied effort to surpass anything the war has yet shown. Behind the British lines there has been piled up vast human material. In numbers sufficient to off-set errors of leadership as they may arise. We have read of the assault in- waves which the French delivered in Champagne and the Germans around Verdun. We must assume that the British are prepared to send ahead wave after wave, regardless of cost, in the attempt to win through by sheer sacrifice of men. If the enemy's barbed-wire defences are not completely demolished, as happened around Loos, if hidden German machine guns maintain themselves in the rear of the charging line, we must assume that the British are getting ready to send forward men enough to make up for such mishaps.' This is the reason why the British cabinet has been won over to conscription. The Allied effort when it | comes will probably see three million men throwing themselves against the German lines in the west, while simultaneously we may expect the Russians to strike out in the east. And evidently the determination prevails in the Allied camp to leave no man and no gun and no ounce of strength unavailable that can be put into the final thrust. Russia's Opportunity Constantinople and the Dardanelles Must Fall Either to Germany or" Russia Prof. Paul Milokoff leader of, the Constitutional Democrats in the Rus- sian duma, in a recent speech before that body thus set forth the reasons why Russia, as a consequence of this war should secure an outlet to the sea by Constantinople and the Dardanelles: "In this war the interest of Russia can be briefly defined: We need an outlet to the sea. It was not for this we went to war, yet without it we cannot end the war. "But, it may be objected, if Turkey had common sense, we could have no such aim! This is true. But. since Liman von Sanders appeared' in Constantinople, since Germany appointed the Turkish minister of war. and the Turkish fleet was delivered into German hands the situation is radically changed. We have now clearlv realized Germany's plans: Berlin to Bagdad I Such is so. we have1 no choice. The question no longer is whether the strait should become Russian or remain Turkish. The question is." whether it is to��������� become Russian or remain German I "Let us not be deceived. The question now pending may be decided onoe for all. But never again may the condition be so favorable for "us. The chief element in our favoi is the attitude of our allies'toward our national problem. Berlin-Bagdad is too menacing for England, because of India and Egypt, and for France, because of her Syrian plans. _ Because of this real danger these powers , cannot fail to come to an agreement with us, after centuries of suspicion. The end of March, 1915 (the beginning of April new style,) is' a time that,should be memorable to our people; for then our agreement with our allies was reache'd. "The Berlin-Bagdad plan now is threatened on the Bagdad side. From north and east our armies converge toward the English forces. And I venture to express the hope 'that the vital importance1 of the war arena beyond the Caucasus will at last be recognized. The conquest of Erzerum made an overwhelming impression on the whole Moslem world. We should take all precautions that this Turkish stronghold shall not share the fate of Prze- mysl l What should our next step in this area be! As to' this there can be no doubt at ail. Armenia, which has suffered for its fidelity to - Russia, should be given the autonomy promised under the Turkish regime. "In/the path of' realization of our goal there can be only one obstacle��������� ourselves. We behind the lines may be conquered even while our armies are fighting valiantly at 'the front. This may create new dangers, which we must guard against. In Germany there is on all hands talk of peace. And we must have wisdom enough, persistence and energy enough, not to .give way, not to forfeit our great sacrifices and the great ideals of this war! Recently ono of the emissaries working for Germany visited me. He said he was a.citizen of neutral Switzerland, and a member of the Stock holm conference, made up of ihe subjects of different neutral countries, who had sent him to find out whether any elements in Russia favored a separate peace. 'You cannot imagine,' he said, 'how they long for peace in Germany, perhaps, if Belgium were evacuated and Serbia re-, stored, this might become the basis for peace negotiations?" I answered him: 'We know Germany's attitude" well; but your, country should, understand who began the war, and whether it is possible to help Germany to a liquidation of her pretensions, by means of an international understand WAITING FOR THE GREAT ADVANCE ON THE WESTERN BATTLE FRONT ALLIES ARE PILING UP GUNS AND AMMUNITION The Pinch of The Blockade The Stoppage of War Supplies is What Bothers Germany The bitter protest jn the note against the British blockade is a confession that it is this which, in the end will compass German defeat. The assertions that German women and children are being threatened with starvation need not be taken too seriously. The real pinch is the stoppage of war supplies. That is a grievance upon which the German government continues to dwell. That is the motive of the demand that, if submarine attacks on merchantmen are to be abandoned, Great Britain must be brought to book for her alleged infringements upon neutral rights. The president has so frequently and positively declined to debate this question with Berlin that it must be taken for granted he will not accept this condition as the sine qua non of enforcing "the' sacred principles of justice and humanity." That would be too humiliating a surrender to contemplate. What he demanded was that Germany should forthwith put an end to inhuman and illegal practices. He cannot now enter into any bargain to compel Great Britain to put an end to a humane and legal practice. If Germany cannot win the war except by trampling upon rights universally acknowledged she must lose it. The United States cannot and will not help her.���������Philadelphia Public Ledger. strength and endurance, first with cjVt alcohol for several days, and then ; f���������,;T,H���������j mo,���������i ��������� iv k��������� . .. i with a glass of wine after meals for lf,^ + d,i. f ? 0nthe'b+asi?4of l several days.

(7) Useful illnesses, their symptoms, durations, and remedies " Reported That There are Over Two Million British Troops in France, and It is Believed That a General Offensive Will Be Inaugurated in the Near Future o Is there going to be a great advance t It was confidently believed at tin* time last year that the British and French armies on the western front were about to assume the offensive. When the brief forward movement in Artois came to an end after a few' miles of territory had been won on the Lorrette Heights and around JNeuve Chappelle there was great disappointment, especially as the Germans were' evidently employing tha bulk of their troops .against Russia and holding the western lines with, relatively few men.,' Mr. Lloyd George, who'trusts the people in a much-greater degree than most of his colleagues, quite frankly declared that the Allies', were m no position to wage'-a forward campaign on the western front. .Guns of large- calibre and high explosives to blasts a way through the German .lines and make an end to 'trench warfare' were required and couldfnot~ be improvised. For a year France" and Great .Britain have, been piling up .munitions. The advances in Champagne'arid north of Arras last September' were really experiments undertaken to:.'. discover whether the. theory on which- ,they had pinned their faith1, was; "correct. The French proved that no' trenches could.be held against a surprise concentration of guns' . using' high ex- plosi\ es. , '���������_'' <f , ,- ', The Germans, believing that the^ap- plication of this' principle _to Frenoh lines of the Verdun salient would enable them to cap~ture~ that -city and win much glory, spent the neriod between the' close of the Champagn* operations in October and the middle of February in gathering together th������ greatest number of cannon ever con-' centrated against a military, position.. Two thousand guns, including, it is' believed, not less than five hundred of twelve inches or over, were trained on the Verdun defences. - Had the French been " entirely surprised as , the Germans were in Champagne, tha city would have been taken. General Joffre, however, had about*a week m which ,to .strengthen his artillery before the full fury of the German at-" tack developed. There were'many large" guns around Verdun. Many- more of calibre corresponding to the German fifteens were brought up,' and now the French artillery is as strong and as effective as that of the enemy. Tha infantry of France has fought with splendid heroism, but the big guns and the famous three-inch field .gun have saved Verdun. The French stock of ammunition, a Paris despatch says, is practically inexhaustible. The output of three-inch, shells is over thirty-three times aa great as when war broke out,, and of shells of larger calibre it is forty-four times as great. The manufacture of guns has also been greatly increased. If the British production of cannon and projectiles has at all kept paoe with that of France there must be enough guns and high .explosives behind the lines at selected points to enable the Allies to break through on a wide front. If the Germans continue their offensive at Verdun there may.be reason for delaying an Allied advance, which must inevitably involve great losses.. Germany may be bled white at Verdun. If not, the Allies axe reasonably, certain to make an attempt within the next sixty days to break the German lines on the western front. It is reported semi-offici- ally that there are two and a halT million British troop3 now In France. Such a vast host will,not Be kept inactive there throughout another season.���������Toronto Globe. When is a Man Drunk Experiments Show That Alcohol Invariably Lessens the Vitality How I wish that every one could read an article under the above heading in the American magazine for April. As that is improbable, I will try. to condense it for your readers. Scientific experts say that one little drink will set you back seven per cent, in physical endurance and fift< en per cent, in your ability to remember tilings. This is no temperance lecture. It is the findings ot cold scientific accuracy and shows the moderate drinker that he does not need to make a fool of himself to get drunk. One glass of beer will make him drunt in the sense that he will be that much less of a man than he was before in body and brain. We all want life and want it more abundantly,, but science shows us that alcohol lessens our life, our vitality, and our efficiency. One of the first things the scientists found out when they commenced to measure drunkenness was that every man who drank alcoholic liquors was .drunk���������in degree���������for two or three days afterwards.

The erogograph is a little instrument that tests muscular Patriotism and Production ��������� A nation lives and fights not on what its forefathers have produced or what its sons will produce, but on what its citizens, by the combined efforts of their capital and labor, produce from day to day. The bulk of what a country produces in peace is consumed quickly enough; but war enormously accelerates the process. In normal periods there is an excess production and thus a country adds to its capital stock or exchanges with other nations for things it cannot produce itself but wants. If during wartime this surplus production is increased���������as it can easily be, for as it is well known, in peace time a nation never produces its maximum���������whatever economic losses are, due to war can be soon replaced. ���������Vancouver World. | describe the other tests and the 'machine's: used to secure accuracy. The resykts prove that a man cannot write as fast or as accurately after one drink, and the strange part of it is that he thinks he is writing more rapidly,. That has fooled many a man. The memory tests were interesting and instructive. These were carried on for two weeks without alcohol, and then for two weeks with alcohol, and the results showed,' first, that memory power was weakened fifteen per cent.; second, that when alcohol was taken before breakfast, it required four times as long to memorize a given task. Dr. Ridge, an English physiologist, carried out a series of experiments on medical students, nurses and porters, to ascertain the effect of liquor on eyesight, with the startling result that the average man who had taken the equivlent of a pint of beer had to approach twenty feet nearer to read letters that he had re������u at thirty feet the day before, and that the effect lasted from four to five hours after drinking. When we consider how much depends in this awful war upon the vigor of body and clearness of brain of our soldiers, and when we think that they are not only permitted, but are actually tempted to drink, that a few men may make money, it shows us tliat a large number of people are still ignorant of the true nature of this terrible poison.���������H.

In recent years, the playground movement has secured a very strong hold upon the public in most of our cities, and no doubt others will be taking up the work during the coming season. The movement has not, however, reached the height to which it should aspire. While the play; feature of the ground has been fairly well provided for, as a rule, the playgrounds, are bare of trees, foliage or flowers. Little: effort has been made to encourage the children to improve or beautify their grounds, or make their surroundings more attractive. The children frequenting the play, grounds are usually from homes with' little space for either garden or grass. They have no opportunity to cultivate or become interested in plant growth or flowers. The playground should endeavor to furnish what is lacking in this respect at home. Space should be devoted to flowers and plants; beds should be laid out and borders planted by the children under supervision, a short time each day being devoted to it. This would go far toward making the playground more attractive, and would constitute a training which the children would riot forget when they reached maturer years arid had " homes of their own. There is no reason why these grounds should be absolutely bare, and it is hoped that the promoters of this laudable movement will extend the scope of the work to beautifying the areas devoted to play. Young Demmons, an adjuster for a big insurance company, was just returning home from a nearby city, where he had been to adjust a loss on a building that had been burned, when he met an old friend. "How did the fire start?" inquired the friend. "I can't say with certainty," replied the adjuster, "and nobody seemed able to tell. But it struck me it might have been the result of friction." "Why," asked the, friend, "what de you mean by that?" "Well," said Demmons gravely, "friction sometimes comes from rubbing a $15,000 policy on a $10,00?

In the majority of cases the mother's pocket- book is not large enough to. permit the buying of alluring dresses that are made on simple but smart lines and are charmingly embroidered in appropriate stitches. However, this should not prove an obstacle, but rather an incentive to copy the tempting models. The dresses shown today are intended to help the mother fashion^models which, because of their individuality, stand out from the usual collections ofk: frocks offered. Because they are made-on straight .linds their practicality should appeal to mothers who have- had unfortunate experiences with frocks made with bias seams. Barred muslin has been chosen for the frock showing a clever use of featherstitching and French knots to designate a Waist line. Self- material has been used for the sash, starting from either side of the group of hand work^ Featherstitching and tatting are combined to finish the neck and baby-sleeves. , A blue linen frock which combines durability and beauty is made on very simple lines. Notice the artistic touch smocking gives this model. Diamond-shaped buttons do their share to give the dress distinction. A white linen collar of an unusual shape is beautified with blue and green cross-stitching. A smocked smock would delight the heart of any youngster. The model referred to is of raspberry-pink linen. Its loose lines assure comfort to the wearer. White collar and cuffs edged with white tatting give a pleasing relief -to the solid color of the frock. A shirt front is not usually met with in a .kiddie's frock, yet here it is, and it looks quite fetching. Being of natural-colored linen, it stands out prominently in the frock of orange- colored linen. The yoke and upper part of the sleeves are cut in one. Cording of the material is used to outline the vest and the bottom of the yoke and kimono sleeves. Smocking and featherstitching are used on the skirt and thus give ample fullness. For afternoon wear is the dainty flowered voile intended. The material is decorative in itself and, therefore, calls for nothing more than the tatting used at the neck, sleeves and for the buckle thru which the wide ribbon sash is passed. It is not a very simple matter to find a becoming two-piece frock for a child. The one of lavender linen, however, is quite smart on the childish figure. The skirt, which is baautifully smocked and embroidered, is attached to a body lining. Over this then the jacket is slipped and fastened in front. Tile white collar and cuffs of lawn are edged with ruffles of the lawn. l&//7f//?ess 1 i,r* ���������<ggy if Mi. * f������>r^vs.'^-������ Wl ?&&?i&<&i 'v?S&S ���������fc,>& ?i������S2Sa, t#. mm ^.ri z+# cP /r//7?/77//?&, L������S A^<*������ s,*t.

In other words, four thousand non-combatants died in one week jjrom the effects of starvation. Mortality was so great that very few people are living in France today who jwcre born in Paris during that siege.

Who Owns the Mastodon Marks of Identification l\ Characteristic Marks by Which we Are iv Each Best Known 'jt A story with a good lesson in it is $ related about Sir Bartle Frere, the ft noted traveller and soldier. - Once Y when returning from Africa to visit i) his home, a "footman" who had never "��������� seen him was ordered to go. to the railway station to meet him. In giving ������ some mark of identification his mother I said, "Look out for a man helping someone else, that is sure to-be Sir Bartle." The footman went his way. The train arrived, and the faces of the V passengers were eagerly scanned. It looked as if there wuald be a disappointment. But just at last the foot- l man noticed a man helping an invalid alight from the train. Approaching ������he man the servant said. "Sir Bartle Frere?" "Yes," said the unassuming general, "I'll come to the carriage as soon as I can." There is some characteristic or mark by which we are each best known. What is it? Is it a worthy one? Is it a kingly trait, or otherwise? Do we blandish our traits or wear them in modest self-respect? Some one -has truly said, "The good man is he who works continually in well doing, to whom well doing is as his natural existence, awakening no astonishment requiring no commentary." "Shakespeare takes no airs for writing Hamlet," says Carlyle. This generation needs to learn the art of self-forcetfulness in good works. Goodness at its best is all unconscious of itself. Nice Legai" Point to be .Decided by Tennessee Courts Tennessee's . courts are struggling over the issue between rival claimants .for the bones of a mastodon. They were found by two boys who were trapping on the farm of a neighbor, and they ��������� obtained the aid of their father to help exhume as much as possible of the prize. The -farm owner replevined the bones, and^the discoverers appealed against the decision. By a principle about as old in law as the mastodon is in biology, the owner of .land owns everything within a pyramid with its apex at the centre of the earth and its base at' the utmost bounds of the universe. The area described in his title deed is the plane cutting this pyramid- at the surface of the earth. He owns the ancient vegetation compressed into coal and the buried remains of animal life that may have fed on it. He also owns the atmosphere and the meteors that fall from beyond the clouds. This principle decided a case in the State of Iowa in the eighties. A man who saw a meteor fall dug it up and sold it to the directors of a museum. The owner of tho land took legal action, and although the finder and the money had disappeared the plaintiff won, and the directors were forced to pay again for the meteor. This and similar eases have been cited to show that t.en if efficiency reaches an ideal that equals the falling of all good and necessary things from the clouds it cannot'benefit anybody who does not own space. The meteor represented food and clothing to the man who saw it fall and dug it out, but his gains were illegal and' fraudulent." The multiplying' of productive power by efficiency and the improvement of labor-saving machinery corresponds economically to the falling of products from the clouds, and the economic results are the same. Stuart Mill questioned if labor-saving machinery had ever shortened the daily toil of a human bcincr. Tt is strange he did not discern the cause. Some of his critics say he did, but hesitated to make it known. Now that social service is to pass into the hands of instructed students there is a possibility of the always potent cause of the necessity for such service be- ing intelligently elucidated.���������Toronto Globp Distance of Matkets From a study of G50 farms in John- eon county'of that state, the Missouri .Experimental station concludes that location is-more important than crop yield as a factor in land values. Here are the'figures; 'Seventy-nine farms within two miles of market averaged in value $78.70 per acre: 183 farms, two to four miles from market, $70.20 per acre.. 126 farms, four to six miles from market, $60.90; 113 farms, six to eiidit miles from market, averaged $58.20. An unmentioned- but important factor is condition of the roads. Were these farms "located on hard roads or on dirt roads inclined to be heavy in wet seasons. Most folks would rather like six miles out on .a' permanent hard road than only half ..as far on a muddy road: Let us have -more light on this interesting question. ���������Farmer's. Review. Where the West Begins Port Arthur and Fort William at the Gateway Canadians are perrectly ^clear as to what they mean when they speak of The East and The West. They regard Port Arthur and Fort William rightly as the gateway of The West. These cities are western in everything but their political tie with a province which is largely eastern. The eastern Ontario man so views them. Eastern Canadians, when they arrive here know and feel that they are in The West. We are more closely knit with Manitoba than with any-other province in most relationships. The churches here are allied with Mani-. toba in their presbyteries and ''.conferences. The Port, Arthur Daily News-Chronicle, to give another example, is a member of the Western Associated Press. Distance is another important factor. 'Winnipeg is only a night's journey; Toronto over a day and a night... The largest grain elevators in the world testify that these cities are economically a part of the West. Port Arthur and Fort William owe their birth and their growth to the West, and their future is bound up with the western* progress. They aim to be a great manufacturing centre for the country from Lake Superior to the Pacific���������in fact,-- the West would be their only market. Their faces are turned toward the new Canada, not toward the old. The \ West begins and ends at the Head of the Lakes.���������Port Arthur News Chronicle Save the Potato Crop J Neglect.of Treatment Causes Heavy Annual Loss ',,' From 1905 to 1915 the average annual yield of potatoes in Canada was 78,- 405,000 bushels, constituting one of our important field crops. The annual yield, however, is greatly lessened by the ravages of diseases and insects. The season of 1915 was admittedly 'one of the worst in years for late blight, and the Botanical Division of the Central Experimental Farm observes that, in one small province of Canada, the^loss from this disease amounted to about 2,000,000 bushels, not including loss in storage. Potato diseases may be controlled in different ways; some by spraying, some by seed treatment and some by seed 'selection. -For early and late blight, and for flea beetles, Bordeaux mixture is very effective. By adding poison to this mixture the Colorado potato beetle is also kept in check. Numerous experiments have been made which demonstrate clearly the practical value of spraying with .Bordeaux mixture. At the Vermont Agriculture Experiment Station experiments have been conducted for many years. Over a period of eighteen years the yield on the sprayed area averaged 271 bushels per acre, while the unsprayed gave only 159 bushels per acre for the same period. The lowest gain from spraying was 26 per cent," while the average was 92 per cent. This evidence should be sufficient to convince every farmer that it pays to spray. It does not cost much and is not so troublesome as many imagine. If you have not full directions at, hand, write now to the nearest Experimental Farm or the Central i?arm at Ottawa, and you will receive complete instructions regarding making and applying Bordeaux mixture.���������F. C. N. Light Horse Prospects When peace comes, and the large number of officers that have been created return to civil life, they will doubtless continue their equestrianism. Therefore horse-back riding promises to become the vogue. Such sports "as hunting and polo playing will receive an immense impetus and with them horse shows will return to greater favor than ever. In addition; the history of the horse proves that after every eruption of other means of-street and road travel he has ultimately returned, to' his own.

That the need should -be satisfied, if it still.exists, is obviously of first-rate importance', and we see that war correspondents, at the front state that it is actually a very urgent one. The French commanders wero- quick to realize the rather obvious advantages of a steel protection for the heads of their 'troops, and after a series of tests the whole army has been supplied with a helmet which is not only serviceable but handsome. It is officially stated that the number of casualties has thus been reduced 10 per cent, or more. We, too, have been experimenting, it seems; but so far we have only succeeded in producing an ugly, clumsy headpiece which is too heavy to become at all popular with the men in the trenches. There is also the spirit of rather foolhardy disdain of protection to be conquered; but experience-will overcome this, and meanwhile the wearing of steel helmets ought to bo enforced as rigorously as that of anti-gas masks. Their production in large quantities ought to be a comparatively simple matter, and it should he put through before the spring offensives begin.��������� From the Manchester Guardian.

Morgan, in Land and Water. Denmark's Dairy Industry A High and Uniform Quality of Butter '< Cause of Success Denmark makes an almost absolutely uniform quality oi butter, and that quality is high. The volume of product also ��������� runs almost uniform throughout the year. These two.- facts explain why it is that before the war Denmark supplied three-fifths of the butter imported into England, and twice as much as Australia, which came next, provided. Denmark is an importer of butter, or its equivalent, as well as an exporter. Danish farmers import inferior Swedish butter, inferior in reputation at least, for use at home, and sell their higher-priced product in the English market. They also import margarine as a substitute for, butter in home consumption. In the five years ending with 1865 Denmark's export of��������� butter or its equivalent in milk and cream, in excess of imports, averaged 25,690,000 lbs. In 1913 her exports in excess of imports amounted to 216,920,000 lbs. Part of this increase in exports is due to an increase from 898,790 in the number of cows kept in 1881 to 1,310,268 in 1914. Part is. due to the fact that the average production per cow jumped from 3,850 lbs. of milk in 1888 to 5,800 in 1913. With the increase in dairy output there has been an advance in bacon production as well. In the five years ending 'with 1885 the average value Watch Your Cows and Guessing at a Cow's Production Profit is Risky I Today the prudent farmer hardly dreams of planting seed grain without testing it. He realizes there is on deposit in the Bank of Nature a huge sum of money, much of which may be his if elementary rules are followed in seeding arjd cultivating. The verage dairyman with twenty cows may reasonably expect as his share .of nature's hoard a yearly income of two thousand dollars if the resultant crops are marketed through suitable cows. But can the unselect- ed, untested cow be expected to take a prominent part in that annual distribution of nature's wealth? She may be fed and cared for to the best of her owner's ability, but there seems to be a loose end if he does not turn round and test her, .determine her ability to turn the vast deposits in nature's bank into a round nine thousand pounds of milk and leave a clear profit if milk fetches one-twenty a hundred. Just guessing at seed vitality and power to grow is queer work; guessing at a cow's production and profit is risky and unnecessary. It is very risky because many a dairyman is deceived without the use of scales and test, quite unnecessary because the dairy division at Ottawa supplies free of charge, milk record forms. Write for them, either the three day per month or the daily kind, with a herd record book. Their use gives certain- of the exports of hog products from ty. Test your cows, there is money Denmark was $7,340,000.' In 1913 the in it. value of such exports was $42,900,000. Co-operation, as applied to both dairying and bacon production, lies at the foundation of Denmark's remarkable progress in both these lines.

I found it very interesting to go about having talks with these boys and getting thorn to tell 'me all their troubles. After a chat it is wonderful how bright seme of them become. .One night I was chatting with two lads, and as they got more and more confidential one of them pulled out two photographs and asked me which of them I liked best. I looked at the photographs and said I thought they wore both extremely- nice young ladies, for I felt I was treading on dangerous ground. Beiii? pressed, however, for a decision, I eventually said I thought I preferred that one (handing the boy the picture.) 'Why, hang it all, he has chosen my sister,' remarked the youth with an injured air. "In spite of this little slip I encouraged the other lad to show me his photographs. He was very reluctant, but eventually produced his wallet, and, taking out a photograph, he held it cut to me. saying, "There's my :old girl, and she is the best in the world.' It was the photograph of an elderly, sweet-faced lady���������his mother." Plucky Birdmanf Quebec Aviator Brought down Get*, s man Taube In a letter to his father. Dr. AV P. Caitier, former member of, the iegislatr-rs and now collector of inland revenue at St. Hyaeinthe, Airman Jacques Cartier, formerly of the reportial staff -of the Montreal Herald, tells how he brought down a German aeroplane on the British front in France on April 27 last. He was on patrol duty in the British front on April 27, and for want of any more exciting pastime was occupying himself with taking pot shots /at a German observation balloon about 4,000 leet in the air. While thus engaged he saw a taube on the wing coming; in his direction. Scenting some real lighting he "went up" after his prey. Circling upwards until he was above the German craft Cartier could discern that the occupants of the taube had been taking photographs of British positions. He commenced firing and swooping in closer to the German. J He succeeded in. crippling the. Hun machine'so that it fell behind the German lines. He was warmly,, cheered by both the French and * British'troops. War's Effect en Soldiers Has Taught the Lesson of Making the Best of Things- A London, Eng., office clerk, now J a member of a" regiment fighting at the front writes'home as follows:"-��������� ~" ' "We may in the years to - come forget how to order arms (though I daresay we shall still at times' go through the movements with walking-stick oE umbrella). WTe may cease to walfe' sturdily, chest out, looking our own height. But" I believe the spirit .of the British Army, spirit of discipline* the spirit of co-operation at its. finest, will live in our hearts for-eyer. That, then, is one mark which the war has stamped on us. .We shall go back to the old indoor life, and the wide personal freedom, and even the quaint struggles of politics, but , we shall bo influenced all our days by ~, army discipline. We shall be influenced,'too, by the sternly democratic conditions under which .we have lived in the barns rand - trenches of Flanders, clerks 'and [ carters and scavengers and millhands, all in a hungry hotch-potch. There will not be so much'", class feeling in us as before. We look forward, my fighting friendg and I, to the years of peace without . misgiving. Some folks think we shall come back clamouring for high wages and better labor condition's. ' Some folk think we shall never-settle down again to a quiet office life. No such qualms trouble us. The life here has been a tremendous lesson in co-operation and making the best'of things.'I think we shall come back spiritually and morally a1 little better, physically ' a good deal better, and that we shall be well content to live a peaceful domestic life. Personally, I have had all the fighting and killing I want. After the war 1 shall turn vegetarian, grow roses, wear carpet slippers, and read "The Golden Treasury." I am afraid that. is not quite what the maiden ladies expected." . It is no credit to us that "the American garbage can is the fattest in the world," remarked Senator Smoot when he injected into the Senate debate on preparedness a plea for preparedness for good housekeeping and better homes. "If I had a dozen daughters and was able to give each of them a , million dollars the day of their marriage." said the Senator. "I would still want each to know how to cook, ' make her own clothes, and, in fact, be a superior housekeeper." The skillful cook and housekeeper is the one who secures the maximum results with a minimum expenditure of money. Any cook should be able to serve a good meal with an unlimited pocketbook at her disposal. The test comes when this is done at small' expense, and the highest art, as "all clever cooks acknowledge, is to make a good meal out of left-overs that the thriftless throw away. The ' wastefulness at the table of the American hotel and restaurant has always amazed the foreign traveller. *��������� From Leslie's. Decoration Instead of Vaccination It is alleged that not long ago the French military authorities expressed a desire to award a decoration to thirty British non-coms., and privates for bravery on the field. When the detachment of heroes paraded before General Joffre, he was somewhat surprised to note that it numbered thirty- five. However, he was too polite to raise any objection, and the ceremony proceeded. The fact was afterwards brought out���������though not so far communicated to the French military authorities��������� that our own War Office had inadvertently sent forward, instead of the men to be decorated, a batch that had been scheduled for vaccination.

This product is the dried milky juice of. the tropical sapodilla tree. The countries from which practically all of it was obtained were Mexico, Canada, British Honduras;. Venezuela, and the Central American republics. Mexico and Canada between them produced more than two-thirds of the total amount imported. The chicle imported into this country during the last ten years has cost nearly $35,000,- 000, which gives some idea of the popularity of gum chewing among Americans. Atmospheric precipitations carry to the soil varying amounts of sulphur, depending upon the proximity of cities, industrial plants or, natural sources of gases containing sulphur. Kossovich found that the quantity falling with the precipitation of an acre annually varied from nine pounds in the country to 72 pounds in tha neighborhood of towns and industrial works. This author states that the continuous introduction of sulphur from the at* mospliere is essential to vegetation artel for maintaining a supply to offset the rapid depletion of the supply of sulphur in the soil by leachin.

And the total, distance between the prairie . farms and .European ports will not be increased. This of course. :s the chief object in building the rotid. But it will also serve another purpose, that of opening up a new territory for permanent settlement. 1'essinnsts tell us vthat this country is not suitable to permanent occupation .that it is coW and barren, with nothing to entice the pioneer to live within its borders. We were told much the same regarding other parts of the Dominion which are now looked upon as veritable gardens of fertility. The, Peace River district may be mentioned as an example. We are told that the country opened up by the new railroad has frost every month in the year with the possible exception of July. This may be a serious handicap to successful farming operations, yet we must remember that, in the three prairie provinces last year, there was not one month in which frost did not' occur. Yet in this climate 600,1*510,000 bushels of wheat were grown during the season. Also the- Xukon district is said to produce vegetables a3 fine as any seen in other parts of the Dominion, and it lies well up to the Arctic circle. There seems to be no reason to doubt that a large local trade will be established along the Hudson Bay road. The forests contain ��������� valuable timbers, which in addition to furnishing material ���������for export, will prove a boon to the pulp and allied industries of Canada. Again ,it is a country of great mineral wealth, which, when once opened up, will lead to further and further development in mining operations. The fish, too, with which the rivers and lakes teem, will., be another source of wealth. " When.we read the reports furnished by the topographical survey for 1916, and also the reports of those who either for pleasure or for business, have visited this now little known territory, we fail to see how anyone, should or could be doubtful regarding the advisability of opening up the country. A BRIGHT TOBACCO OF THE FINEST QUALITY 10 CENTS PER PLUG An Ancient City Not- Trebizond was one of the Most able Cities of the East in the Middle Ages Trebizond. the old capital of Cap- padocia, is mentioned by Milton in one of his gorgeous catalogues of places in the first book of "Paradise Lost," where he refers tc tho knights .who once jousted there. The city, indeed was one of the great schools of .mediaeval chivalry, and it is a German historian, Professor Fallmerayer, who tells us .that it "became in popular romance and in the imaginations of the Italians and 'Provencals, one of the most famous empires of the East, and the rallying, point of the youth and flower of Asia." Readers of "Ivanhoe" may remember that the templars boasts to Rebecca that he had won his horse, Zamor, in single fight from the Sold an of Trebizond. Apart from its classical association with Xenophon and the retreat of the ten thousand, Trebizond was one of the most notable cities of the East in the middle ages. The Hellenic Trapezus, or "Tableland" so named from the sloping table of/ground on which it stands, at the time of thf; fourth crusade fell into the hands cf Alexus -Commenus, a scion of the Imperial Byzantine family, who founded there an empire that lasted for two and a half centuries, and included the greater part of the southern coast of the Black Sea. The Imperial family were renowned for their beauty, and Princesses of Trebizond were sought in marriage by- Byzantine Emperors, western nobles and Mohammedan Princes.���������The London Chronicle.

U. 1103 Big Irrigation Convention Instructing and Interesting Addresses to be Given by Practical Men With a splendid list of speakers to address the 10th Annua! Convention of the Western Canada Irrigation Association' at Kamloops on July 25th, 26th and 27th next, "The Place,in the Sun" has every reason to feel confident that the forthcoming: meeting will be;one of real value and interest to both fruit growers and farmers. Farmers and fruit growers are usually very busy men and do not care to take time from the midst of their work, particularly during the crop growing season, to absent themselves from their homes unless in doing so they are getting information and advice that make their visits to farmers' conventions of intrinsic value to them. During the past few years all farmers' conventions have realized the' necessity of conducting their meetings on a strict business basis and the Western Canada Irrigation Association has not .been behind hand in this work. Every possible phase of agriculture, in which the farmers in British Columbia and the prairies are interested, has a place on the programme and if through any oversight or lack of time, a subject of special interest to a particular farmer has been overlooked, the meeting is oj^en to discussion on that subject. As far as possible the actual fanners, irrigators and- fruit growers themselves are to make these addresses which will be much more practical than theoretical and it is hoped and believed through the increased attendance of delegates at the Annual Irrigation Convention that the members are realizing the value of he Association to them and getting direct benefits from and through it. A glance at the following programme will advise, ali those interested of the subjects to be covered and Mr. C. E. Lawrence, the genial Secretary of the Local Board of Control,at Kamloops, will be glad to answer all enquiries regarding this meeting promptly and fully. Dr. F. F.

"I would still want each to know how to cook, Denmark's Dairy Industry A High and Uniform Quality of Butter Cause of Success Denmark makes an almost absolutely uniform quality of butter, and that quality is high. The volume of product also runs almost uniform throughout the year. These two facts explain why it is that before the war Denmark supplied three-iifths of the butter imported into England, and twice as much as Australia, which came next, provided. Denmark is an importer of butter, or its equivalent, as well as an exporter. Danish farmers ��������� import inferior Swedish butter, inferior in reputation at least, for use at home, and sell their higher-priced product in the English market. They also import margarine as a substitute for butter in home, consumption. In the five years ending with 1885 Denmark's export of butter .or its equivalent in milk and cream,-in excess of imports, averaged 25,690,000 lbs. In 1913 her exports in excess of imports amounted to 216,920,000 lbs. Part of this increase in exports is due to an increase from 898,790 in the number of cows kept in 1881 to 1,310,268 in 1914., Part is due to the fact that the average production per cow jumped from 3,850 lbs. of milk in 1888 to 5,800 in 1913. With the increase in dairy output there has been- an advance in bacon production as well. In the five years ending with 1885 the average value of the exports of hog products from Denmark was $7,340,000. In 1913 the value of such exports was $42,900,000. . Co-operation, as applied to both dairying and bacon production, lies at the foundation of Denmark's remarkable progress in both these lines. C. P. R. Demonstration Farms The demonstration farms which the Canadian Pacific has set up, both east and weBt, have been employed with signal success in one special direction ���������the setting up of higher standards. Through precept and example the company has brought about a most flattering change in values. In iitlier words, the example and encouragement of the railway company, through these farms and by other means, have caused those who have food products to sell to give closer attention to quality than was their former habit. The company insists upon the first- rate quality of food products on the cars; and has taught the farmers, both east and west, how best to supply AT quality in butter, eggs, fowl, etc. In the neat and tidy putting up of food products, too, there has been decided improvement. The farmers have been set a fine example; and the people have seen, right at their elbow, that values can be greatly enhanced by careful attention to-details.

It is told in a letter received in Toronto, that was smuggled across the Belgian frontier, having been carried from Brussels by special courier, an operation, incidentally, which is extremely hazardous in view of the more rigorous German restrictions, and the imposition of the death penalty upon anyone found carrying letters or disposing of papers or intelligence that would in any way apprize the Bruxellois of the true conditions that obtained in the outer world. This particular Belgian woman of courage and bravery had been for months without news of her husband, an officer in the Belgian army, until finally she discovered one of the agencies through which she .could have that intelligence for which she yearned. But the Germans gained possession of one of the letters with the result that the woman was placed under arrest. It happened that a number of people received letters by the same courier and the Germans immediately determined that they would execute the courier and punish the parties who were contributories to this latest infraction of German law. When they demanded the names from the woman whom they had placed under arrest they were met by a stern refusal. Every method conceivable was employed, but the brave woman remained obdurate. She told the German Governor that she would rather go down to her death honorably than to expose her friends. Today that woman���������one of . the leaders of Brussels society in the days when German kultur was unknown��������� lies in a Brussels prison under threat of death. She will not surrender and if she needs must die she will die as thousands of other Belgian women have died���������bravely and nobly in a cause' that is more precious than life itself. Source of Krupp Fortune Everyone knows the part which Krupp's plays in equipping Germany and her Allies with munitions, .but how many are aware that the money with which the great firm was placed on a sure foundation, if not actually founded, came from Birmingham? Alfred Krupp came to Birmingham about 1840 with an introduction from Dr. Siemens to Messrs. Elkington and Mason, electro-platers, the predeces- sore of the present firm of Elkington and Co. He offered to them a machine which he had invented, for rolling metal "blanks" from which spoons and forks are made. Eventually he sold this to the firm for ������10,000. With the money acquired Krupp proceeded to Essen and laid the foundation of the. great fortune he afterwards acquired.���������London Chronicle.

THIN-BLOODED PEOPLE Often Become Seriously 111 Before They Realize It Some people have a tendency to become thin-blooded just1 as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism or nervous disorders: ��������� The condition in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually that anyone with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Blood- lessness can be, corrected more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with.'a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, slight exertion produces breathiessness and headaches and backaches frequently follow. In the treatment of troubles due to thin blood no other medicine has had such a great success as Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills. They go right to the root of the trouble, make rich, red blood, thus restoring the weakened system to health and strength. .Mr. R. F. Ash- ford, Peterboro, Ont., says: "Four years ago my condition became so serious that it seemed to me I possessed every pain and ache and every morbid feeling possible. For months I had been overworked, and bereavement added the last straw necessary to break down my constitution. I had a severe ever-present headache and pains in the back of the eyes, and at the same time I was seldom free from severe neuralgic pains. I was ra*;ly hungry, and when I was it seemed to create a morbidness which made my other ills harder to bear. Of course I consulted a doctor, and he told me a rest and change of air, just the thing I was unable in the circumstances to take. I had a particularly bad spell on the day my daughter returned from college, and she insisted that I should take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was decidedly skeptical, but she got some and to please her I took them. The result���������After the first box I was compelled to admit that I really did feel better.- After the second box I ungrudgingly ' admitted that they were doing me ; good, and after the sixth box I felt free from every ache and pain and in' gratitude I began to praise the pills to others.

Future of the Baltic To Russia and Great Britain alike the thorough defeat of Germany and the destruction of her naval ascendancy in the Baltic are essential. If these necessary preliminaries are achieved it will then be possible for the Entente Powers to establish an enduring settlement of the North. They will probably strengthen Denmark by restoring to her the Duchy of Hchleswig, with its large Danish population; they will cpnfirm Denmark in control of the Sound and the Belts, and will place under her military care the Baltic end of the neutralized Kiel Canal; they will guarantee her independence and will give her such financial aid as will enable her effectively to fulfill her international functions as guardian of the gates of the Baltic.���������Nineteenth Century.

B. (Special.)���������Cured of rheumatism, from which she has been a Bevere sufferer. Dame Pierre Belanger, well known and highly respected here, is telling her friends that Dodd's Kidney Pills have made her well. "I consider Dodd's Kidney Pills one of the best friends I have," Dame Belanger states. "I had rheumatism and the pains in my lhnbs caused me a great deal of suffering. "I took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they made me well. My pains are all gone, and I can now work without being fatigued. I will always keep Dodd's Kidney Pills in the house." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure rheumatism because it is caused by sick kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. If the kidneys are healthy and doing their full work they strain all the uric acid out of the blood, and there can be no rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills always make the kidneys well. They take away that tired feeling by ensuring pure blood and good circulation.

War's Effect on Soldiers Has Taught the Lesson of Making the Best of Things A London^ Eng., office clerk, now a member of a regiment fighting at the front writes home as follows: "We may in the years to come forget how to order arms (though I daresay we shall still at times go through the movements with walking-stick or umbrella). We may cease to walk sturdily, chest out, looking our own height. But I believe the spirit of the British Army, 6pirit of discipline, the spirit of co-operation at its finest, will live in our hearts for ever. That, then, is one mark which the war has stamped on us. We shall go back to the old indoor life, and the wide personal freedom, and even the quaint struggles of politics, but we shall bo influenced all our days by army discipline. We shall be influenced, too, by the sternly democratic conditions under which we have lived in the barns and trenches of Flanders, clerks and carters and scavengers and millhands, all in a hungry hotch-potch. There will not be so much' class feeling in us as before. We look forward, my fighting friends and I, to the years of peace without misgiving. Some folks think we shall come back clamouring for high wages and better laboi conditions. Some folk think we shall never settle down again to a quiet office life. No such qualms trouble us. The. life here has been a tremendous lesson in co-operation and making the best- of things. I think we shall come back spiritually and morally a little better, physically a good deal better, and that we shall be well content to live a peaceful domestic life. Personally, I have had all the fighting and killing I want. After the war I shall turn vegetarian, grow roses, wear carpet slippers, and read "The Golden Treasury." I am afraid that is not quite what the maiden ladies expected." Once upon a time, so the story goes, a Frenchman visiting the tomb of Napoleon wrote on a convenient wall the lines: " 'Bony was a great man, a soldier brave and true." An Englishman coming along a little later read this and added: "But Wellington did beat him at the battle of Waterloo." The next visitor was an American, who seeing the foregoing contributions, rushed into the competition with all of the restraint that characterizes the members of'that great nation. He wrote: "But braver- still, and truer far, and tougher far than shoe leather.

Now the allies are prepared to take the offensive. We cannot expect a rapid advance, but the time will come Avhen the Ger- maii troops know they cannot win, and then the stampede.
