Siatisties on the Canadian crop csii- mate the production of wheal in this counlry at one hundred and sixty- seven million bushels, or practically Otic-half of lasl year's crop. \\> musl remember, however, that lhis is very close to lhc average production, Then we have the. American crop, which is estimated at approximately six hundred million bushels, which is lhe lowest average for a number of years. Both crops are going to be made up of a goodly quantity of very low grade wheat, In facl, lhe. early shipment.* from Manitoba point.* have showed a very heavy run ol feed wheal. This condition is also true in ihe Minneapolis market, Reports from that centre coincide with lhe statements of millers here on low average of Hour production llie-.e low grades. The result is lhat Ihe milling lerprises will have lo buy Up .. good wheat, lhal will mix with these low grades and standardize llie Hour. This accounts for llic presenl widespread buying by lhe millers, wliicli would naturally make lhe cash situation very strong. This is evidenced by llic premiums that are being paid I'or the top grades of Nos, 1, _ and .1. Market conditions for lhc pasl week in Winnipeg have been of a very narrow Hading proposition. Speculation is limited, and with lhis feature out of the market ii has forced those who want ihe actual wheat to advance prices each and every lime lhcy try to increase Iheir holdings. Their offerings due to the narrow market appear as a burden, llic net result has been a very nervous market v, itli wild fluctuations. The war situation continues lo be a big factor, and there does nol appear to bc any doubl but what successes of the Allies in the Balkans will have a deprcsing effect. However, it remains lo be seen (should lhc Allies meet with the-.e successes we wish for) whether Russia's crop will bc dumped on lo the' market as rapidly as anticipated. The genera! opinion among the trade is lhat while we might fftai great deal higher price for v.heal, slill those lhal own il should lake advantage of present levels lo market llieir holdings.

When lhe rebellion broke out in I.ucknow all lhc Europeans fled to the Residency. On their way they came across a private of liie Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, who was on sentry duty at an outpost. They urged him lo make his escape with them, but hc refused to leave his post and was killed. His name happened to bc Tommy Atkins and whenever a deed of exceptional daring was performed during the -Mutiny tiie doer was said lo be a "regular Tommy Atkins."

Criminal Foily to Keep up Zepp Raids 11 appears that the Zeppelin which was brought down iu England on lhe occasion of the latest raid was ,nol struck by shots from lhe ground, but was wrecked by an aviator attacking from above. The young man I has been awarded the Victoria Cross 1 for his feat, and it certainly is one of jthc great events of the war. 'this is I the second time an English aviator lhas destroyed a Zeppelin in this man- Iner. ll is likely lo revive faith in the j ability of aeroplanes to develop an adequate defense against Zeppelmr*. | A few such experiences as that will I tend lo discourage Zeppelin raids. The British has evidence that a second Zeppelin was damaged, at least, I if it did not go down in lhc sea. The fate of the crew when a Zeppelin falls lis so terrible and thc loss, both l.u- man and material, is so serious, that jit would be criminal folly to keep [risking these craft in mere attempts to terrify and break the spirit of a civilian population.���From thc Buffalo Express.

ENEMY TREATS PRISONERS OF WAR IN A MOST REVOLTING MANNER INTOLERABLE EXPERIENCES OF BRITISH CIVILIAN Sir Timothy Eden, Who Has Recently Been Released From a German Internment Camp, Describes His Experiences During the Time He Was the Forced Guest of the Cultured Hun Sir Timothy Eden, of Wiudleslone Hall, Ferrylilll, Durham, has now "been In England for several days, after a year and a half in German internment camps, al Kastadt and Ruh- lebcn. lie lold his experiences to the Times, After llic outbreak o^ war, Sir Timothy Eden had for a lime, to repori periodically lb the police, but later he was arrested and sent for internment nl Raslaclt, He. was there for six days, and then lie was seul by rail to I'rrlin, where, wilh his companions, he was placed in I'lollagru- sei- convict prison. Their quarters Were lliosr in normal limes of the woi-sl type oi criminal. Each man Was placed in .1 sl mug wire cage, six feci long, three feel nine inches wide, ami ,.In.in sis feel high, and Ihey were iim*, shui off from one another, The corridor between lhe rages was called "Bird Cage Walk." The warders treated llic prisoners as convicts, am! they wcrc only allowed to exercise iu lhe, prison yard in single, tile, Their food was llie ordinary prison din, most of it being distinctly unpalatable or not lit for human consumption, After ten days they were transferred lo the cells for a short period, where they had more comforts, "The conditions," Sir Timothy Eden said, "were, absolutely horrible, and llioilgll we had nol much to look forward to, wc were rather glad when llu- order came for ns lo be scni 10 Ruhleben, The fact that we English, of whom lhc Germans were speaking in lhc mosl complimentary terms before llie. war, had decided to enter the struggle, completely turned lhe scales against us, and we. had to suffer more Ihan lhe others." Sir Timothy's lirsl experiences at I'lihlrben were not calculated lo give liim much encouragement, however. Thr. site of Ruhleben internment camp was formerly a racecourse, and the stables of the racing horses wcrc the inhabitations of llic prisoners. "Whatever we wanted had lo bc provided by ourselves, and wc were given nothing exlra unless it was paid for. In addition to tlie stables, there were a number of wooden shanties, which were dignified by the name of 'barracks.' Little light was provided, except what the inmates themselves could improvise, and the conditions were altogether most intolerable." f)n his arrival at Ruhleben on Nov. 28, Sir Timothy was sent into a stable lift with live others. The place was six or eight yards in length, and fix feet wide, and for a considerable lime Ihey were obliged to sleep 011 straw beds. Three months later ihey were given belter quarters, but still their straw beds wenl with them. In that way they existed until the day of Sir Timothy's leaving the camp iu exchange for a German. After the recent stir in England regarding thc manner in which the prisoners were being treated, they wcrc told they would get "margarine one day and "jam the nexl." Thc margarine, when analyzed, was found to contain 40 per cent, of water. Thai was all lhcy did to improve the food. Those who were lucky to get 10 ounces of meal a day, live ounces of fish (including bones) a week, and four potatoes a day���"and very mangy potatoes at thai." In addition 10 that they had a mysterious drink, described as coffee or lea. The hospital conditions, Sir Tim- olhy Eden said, were shocking, but latterly Ihey had shown some improvement. A doctor was never allowed 10 see a patient at night. Manitoba Exports Butter I'he record that Manitoba established last year as au exporter of. butter has bceivpsj-ell maintained this season. Since lhe lirst of April .11 carloads of creamery butter have been sent out of lhc province. '.Ihese have averaged -1(11) boxes or a lillle more per car, each box containing 56 pounds.

Most of tlie shipments havc gone lo Montreal, and presenl prices arc around 32 cents in carload lots. Dairy Commissioner Mitchell has received very gratifying letters this summer in regard lo tlie improved quality of thc butler shipped by Manitoba, At present thc province lias excellent pasturage, and with lhc heavy corn yields and abundant hay cut, the make of butler for the remainder of tho year should be large.

Caring for the Captives German Prisoners in England Havc Good Time A Danish newspaper correspondent was permitted by the Britisii Government lo visit any interned camp at any time lie liked and any camp that he preferred. He. chose one at Leigh, about forty miles from the city of London, where about 1,500 German prisoners are housed. The following is pari of his description of lhc place. lie points out that llie building comprises seven dormitories, cookhouse, tailor and bootmakers shops, library and classroom, and ablution sheds with shower baths (hot and cold water). Every man lakes a bath at least once a week, and the whole place is remarkably clean and comfortable, The prisoners have llieir own canteen, in wliicli they can buy practically anything except alcoholic drinks; Ihey have Iheir own committees for education, wood-carving, sports, etc., a good band of between twenty-four and thirty, and two theatrical companies, which give performances in a Y.M.C.A, lint. Exercise is permitted al any lime between morning and evening roll-call in ihree large compounds, and games, such as football, fistball, rounders, etc., arc allowed. Athletic sports arc being arranged. The prisoners wash llieir own clothes one day in each week, and all lhc floors in the camp buildings are scrubbed twice a week.

Britain Has Own Zeppelins To Be Used as Eyes of the Elect and Not to Eight the Germans A London correspondent of ihc: New Vork Sun wriles: Recently a! sufficiently guarded description revealed the fact that Britain possess ed a new class of airship comparable to some extent with lhc German Zeppelin. Neutral captains, il is -aid, arriving al certain cast coast pouts arc enthusiastic in llieir admiration of the new airships, In llieir opinion llie British model is far more readily handled and altogether less cumbersome than the German craft. The difficulties which lay in tlie way of competing witli the typo of airship which is tlie result of Count Zeppelin's life work wcrc serious. Tlie small dirigible was nol difficult lo construct, and some, time ago Ureal Britain was thoroughly supplied with thai type, The large dirigible, corresponding lo the Zeppelin, was a much more difficult thing iii build, as it Involved problems of aerostatics with which British constructors had little experience, and iiie fact thai France, with .ill her aeronautical experience, which included the pioneer work on ibis sub-fleet, Indicated very clearly tlie difficulties in the way, Hut ii was Uritain's business, for lhe real value of the great dirigible is iis service for lhc fleet, and tlir. naval problem is, of course, essentially hers, The problem to lie solved involved questions of new forms of valve, new kinds of rope, new met Ii - oils of welding and structure, and the acquiring of sufficient quantities of aluminium, which happily did not prove very difficult. The furlher work- to be tackled was the creation of air sheds to accommodate such monsters, and lhis involved an amount of k.bor and material on a vast scale. However, lhc difficulties have been overcome and lhe airships are built and ready. It will bc a pily if the public jumps to the conclusion that Britain has now a new war arm with which to meet llic Zeppelin raids. Zeppelin can no more fight witli Zeppelin than submarine with submarine. British Zeppelins have other work, and that lhe most vital work for England that can be done. They arc the eyes of the Heel.

They show, no sign of fear, of course, and as for discipline, in which some of our English friends thought wc were deficient, they are models, with tIiis I difference���that they arc splendidly eager for a chance to act on their own initiative. In that they excel. I I was proud of the boys yesterday.

Above all, our boys shine when lhcy have a chance of giving lhc enemy one on llieir own. And is not that, after all, ihe very essence of good fighting?" To End the Devil's Reign Though Britain mourns with solemn pride her dear children who have given llieir lives for Europe's freedom, no losses will turn her from her resolve or impair her fortitude. We arc lighting to end Ibis reign of the devil on earth wliicli is known as Prussian militarism, lo restore order and respect for public law, to protect lhe weak, to repress atrocious Inhumanity; and wc shall not cease from fighting till ihcsc aims arc fully attained. After all, if a nation docs jits duly in war���as llic whole British nation is now doing���there comes 'such a moment in the struggle as I when Nelson closed his spy-glass, having put forth all his genius and daring and love in his country's cause with thc words, "Now I can do no more. We must trust to the great Disposer of all events and the justice of our cause." Soil Fertility Importance of Conserving the Fertility of Our Soils The soil is the one great factoral foundation not only of agriculture but of ihc nation's welfare, hence il is practically impossible to spend an excess of care on its cultivation aud preservation. Therefore any knowledge that results from experience is of the gratest value. A deal ot information acquired from such experience is given in Bulletin 27, 2nd series, entitled "Soil fertility, its economic, maintenance and increase," just issued by thc Department of Agriculture, of which Dr. Frank T. Shutt, the Dominion Chemist, is author, and which can bc had free by application to the Publications Branch of the Department at the capital. Dr. Shutt sounds an intensely practical note of warning when he argues that wc have been terribly wasteful of plant food and that every effort should bc made to maintain and increase the fertility of our soils, and, by more rational methods, endeavor to put a stop to that waste. While the warning is directed to the Northwest, "where farming has been likened to mining," Ontario and Eastern Canada generally arc summoned to account. In brief, a change is called for from extensive to intensive farming, the lesson that it is sought to convey being that there is more pro- lit in high Ullage and conservation in cultivation Ihan in mere routine. Having gone minutely inlo lhc properties, necessary treatment and application of farmyard manures, the doctor supplies a tabic giving the approximate average conipositkm of manure (fresh) from various animals, describes the manurial value of clover, the component elements and beneficial influence exercised by fertilizers, and refers lo lhc places occupied by wood ashes and seaweed as potassic. fertilizer, He goes into the virtues of gypsum and nitrate of soda as indirect potash fertilizer, concluding in an instructive review of the chief means by which the productiveness of the soil may bc increased and preserved, by urging farmers lo make greater use of the various means and agencies provided by lhc govern- imn|s���federal and provincial���"for the assistance of lhc man on lhe land by information, advice and demonstration," "There is no counlry," lie avows, "better provided than Canada in this respecl." Regarding manure, two important facts to be remembered are that where it is not at once utilized by being put into thc soil, or on to the soil, one-third of ils initial value is lost, and that the loss is least where the manure is kept compact and protected from rain. il will be a lidc that will overflow all previous hounds, and our vacant lauds should bc ready lo receive the first week in August but goes only land-seekers and home-makers, as far as Good Hope.

So writes the Director of Experimental Farms, while the Doiuiuiiou Botanist speaks ot ''en hanced interest iu au industry for which there certainly is a wide scope iu suitable localities in the Dominion of Canada." Both these remarks were prompted by the ' publication of Bulletin No, 28. se- . coud Series Experimental Farm at Ottawa, entitled, "Flax for fibre; its cultivation and handling," written by James Adams. M. A. As- , sistaut Dominion Botanist, who for years was associated with the flax industry in Ireland. The cultivation of flax, as Mr. Adams says, is antiquity. Every bibical student will recall that in the account of the destruction wrought by hail in Egypt it is written that "the barley was iu the ear aud the flax was boiled.'' Flax is grown iu Canada to some extent; but not, judging by statements of authorities, to the extent that the demand, the price, usefulness aud the soil and climate conditions warrant, Mr. Adams in his bulletin, which cau be had free by application to the Publications Branch. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, describes the plant in all its particulars, tells of the scil and climate required, and sets forth, with illuminativt drawings and with minuteness of detail all that is required in its cultivation and harvesting.

How many ot us are able to say, after studying a bill, whether such bill, whether such bill is good or bad legislation, and whether it is based < u good or bad economics? Aow many of us can give a lucid explanation of our reasons for calling ourselves ''Liberal" or "Conservative" ��� how many of our relatives of the sterner sex are able to do so for that matter? If we are able to express ourselves lucidly, how niiiay of us have based our reasons on real knowledge and economic facts?

It would, therefore, seem that a vast majority of us are iu need of enlightenment upon many subjects of a political nature, and as we are all requiting exactly the same instruction, would it not be possible for wometi to form themselves into au -.ssociatiou for the acquirement of political knowledge, ard the upholding of clean poilitics and just legislation. There would be many petty jealousies and ideas to forget; we would have to commence afresh, and as far as possible put out of our minds all those prejudices aud thoughts, which we h ve borrowed from our men. There would be many difficulties to meet and overcome, and there can be uo doubt that it will be uphill work all the way.

There was no mistaking the swift look exchanged by lhc two men; it was not thai of friends, but of foes. "Conic in here," said Paul shortly, as he opened the door of the smoking room, which was deserted. And Lord Eastling left them together. "What do you mean by coming down here, wilhoui telling mc what you were going to do?" demanded Paul, in tones which showed that he did not mean lo take a humble attitude. But Gane was not humble either. He planted his feet firmly on the hearthrug and, overcoming a certain sense of shyness which the luxurious surroundings inspired in him, growled out��� "1 like that, I do. It's 'bout lime, I should think, as you told me���and will���what you're going to do?" "Going to do? What do you mean?" "Oh, you know what I mean. Where's them pearls?"

"The rightful owner's mc and Will, as let you collar all die last lot, on promise as how " "Ves, that will do. Wc know all about that," said Paul with a nervous glance round. "I couldn't manage the pearls. Wc must lind another way." "I heard this morning as how the pearls had got back to the person they came from. It's all over the place," went on Gane wilh his eyes protruding in his excitement. "They did ought to have becn in our hands before this, only you put me off, you did, with your cock-and-bull story about i.ord Eastling following me and giving mc in charge with theni on me," Paul nodded. "If you had any brains in your head," he said, "you'd know that 1 am doing my very best for you. I'm never going to work with you again, and I've got to pay you both off before I've done with you. Nothing can exceed my anxiety to bring that about, lo have seen the last of a pair of greedy vagabonds, whose voices rasp, whose clo'hes don't fit them, and whose hands"���and he threw a glance of disgust at Ganc's fingers��� "are never reasonably clean." Instinctively Gane put his hands into his pockets. "Never yon mind my hands," said lie angrily. We've served your turn, and now you've married a rich wife you don't waul us. Well, wc can get along without you, 1 dare say, only fair deals is fair deals. And wc must have what we've a righl lo.

When Lord Eastling left those Iwo together, he met I.ady Ursula as ho went along the passage lo lho greal hall. She had been al llie window of ibe morning-room, feeding iho birds, .when Gane came shuffling towards I the house, and she had seen her bro- I tiler walk away wilh him. 1 "Who was lhat man you were talking lo just now, Tom?" she asked with suppressed excitement, "It was the one wc saw hanging aboul in lho .village yesterday. Who is he, and what docs he want?" Lord Eastling was somewhat al a loss for an answer. "I believe," she said in a whisper, "that he has had something to do with lhc pearl affair." "How could lhat bc?" asked her brother. "1 don't know. But I believe he is a thief." "I'm sure I hope he isn't, for it was I who brought him into the jhousc," said Lord Eastling, trying lo Iput her off by speaking in a jesting I tone. "Lct us hope you have all your own jewellery under lock and key." "My jewellery! Oh, that's all right. At least " She stammered and appeared lo hesitate, smiling at the same time, His curiosity was excited. "What's the matter? Havc you had losses, too?" he asked quite sharply. "Oh, no, no. Only Didn't I tell you? Paul took all the stones out of their settings. He's going lo have them all re-set. An exclamation burst from Lord Rustling's lips. "You mean he's lost Ihem," he cried with so much dryness that his sister was annoyed. "He's not lost them. ��� He has not got them to lose," said she with gentle dignity. "They arc mine, you know, and they are in my keeping." But Lord Eastling was slill dry. "Are they? Are you sure?" he asked. l-'or answer she beckoned him lo follow her up the stairs. "You shall see for yourself," said she, angry with him for his unconcealed suspicions of her husband, and full of resentment at his want of generosity. She was saying to herself that Paul would never be forgiven by his brother-in-law for the faults of his youth. And indeed she was conceiving a strong spirit of partisanship on her husband's behalf against her brother, and Paul's relations. She felt that, since he had confessed, and atoned, hc ought to be forgiven, and it was with much dignity and with a strong feeling of wounded pride in her husband that she led thc way to her room, and taking out her dressing-case from a cupboard, unlocked it, and laid out on a chair for her brother's inspection rows upon rows of handsome stones, diamonds, em- ! eralds, rubies, some in cottonwool land some, in tissue paper. I "There," said Lady Ursula, rather [coldly, when slu had shown them to I her brother, "now are you satisfied? j Here arc some pearls, too." | And she produced some strings of .pearls from which the clasps had ��� boon removed. It seemed to Lord Eastling that this act of raid Payne's was sclf- , condemnatory, Jewels in their settings can be traced and recognized. But when once they arc lorn out of their gold, silver or platinum mounting they lose their identity and become almost impossible to trace. Lady Ursula perceived by the expression of her brother's face that hc I was suspicious and ill-pleased. | "Well," she said, "you see lhcy aro not lost. Thoy are all here. 1 hope 'you are ashamed of your unkind | thoughts." Lord Eastling said nothing as he ���! sprang to his feel. | For lhc door of the room had becn Hung open, and Paul Payne, sent by Brady Gane to fetch his share and Evans's share of the stolen jewels, was standing in the room. coming forward in explanation, "I juris telling Tom thai you arc going to have these stones rc-scl." She tried hard nol to lot her lone assume a note of deprecatory apology, hm there was no mistaking Ihc feeling in her voice. Paul looked, nol al her, bul al Lord Eastling. "It's very good of your brother lo interesl himself so much in our affairs," said lie quietly; "Inn surely every trifle nocd not be enquired 'inlo." 1 "No, no, im, Paul. Thero was no inquiry.

But if they had nol all had secret reasons for uneasiness, there was no need to have looked far for an explanation of this scene. It was only J natural that, afler one such Iheft or I praclieai joke as thai connected with jlhc pearls, every lady staying in the house should look to her jewel case. Lord Eastling introduced a fresh topic. "Has your friend gone;-" ho. asked, Paul frowned. "Who is he, Paul?" asked Lady Ursula. "Do you know him? Whal has he come for?" (To Bc Continued.)

Its War Time Aspect. London, Eng. The women of England are doing their duty. They are taking care of thc wounded, or if they cannot assist in work of that kind they are adding their savings to promote the good work. They arc knitting and sewing for the soldiers at, the front. The Kiffragista havo given so little trouble lo the government that it will undoubtedly soften the hearts of those ia Parliament, since the "militants" have turned all their energies to aid the fighting men of England, and so sufferage may soon come after this terrible war is over. Thousands of women in Canada hare overcome their sufferings, and have been cured of woman's ills by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This temperance medicine, though started nearly half a century ago, sells most widely to-day, because it is made without alcohol or narcotics. It can now bc had in tal-'it form as well as liquid, and every woman who suffers from backache, headache, nervousness, should take this "Prescription" of Dr. Pierce. It is prepared from nature's roots and herbs and docs not contain a particle of alcohol or any nar- eolic. It's not a Bccrct prescription for its ingredients are printed on wrapper.

Shipments of Wheat Being Sent to Calgary Elevator This Year , ; Several shipments of wheat have 'been received at the Calgary govern- j ment elevator consignti from \ cr i mon, Endcrby ami Armstrong, and more is expected later, as threshing is completed, This is thc lirsl time any grain from lhc western province has been sent eastward, and this is entirely due to thc facilities which are offered at Calgary for storage and grading. Of course, the premium which cash grain is commanding at the terminals makes llie eastern market look inviting to lho farmers of interior B.C. points. While there is a market for milling grain al the coast, it is a spasmodic one, and there is not lhc premium ihere lhal is obtained on Fort William shipments. If the shipping facilities at the coast in the way ��f ocean transportation was normal the coasi elevators would likely gol this grain, Conditions just at present, lliougll, aro nol favorable. from information which has been received in Calgary il is estimated there will bc about two hundred cats of grain to ship from those points. Al presenl il is being sent in sacks down as far as Calgary and reloaded. Avoid Harsh Pills! Doctors Condemn ihem Most Tills unfortunately are harsh and drastic; they cause Inflammation and great discomfort, Rather like nature is the way a pill should act, mildly hui effectively, Science has established nothing more satisfactory as a family pill than the old reliable. pills of Dr, Hamilton's, which for i forty years havo had a premier place in America. Ur. Hamilton's Pills arc very mild and can be .effectively used by lhe aged, by children, and indeed by men and women of all ages. No ��� stomach or bowel medicine is more reliable. No remedy for indigestion, headache or biliousness is so effective, so mild, so certain lo quickly cure as a 25c box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills.

The British Black list Government Only Carrying Om Its Plain Duty in Enforcing thc Policy j The policy of the blacklist was lhal lhis country thought ii reasonable thai ils properly, its system of credit, and ils system of shipping should nol be placed al the disposal of ii.s cn- | cmics. If a man was i|iiiio clearly iau enemy of this counlry, whether or Inol technically a German, Austrian or Turk, we saiii we had a righl to forbid our own subjects to trade with him, because by so doing Ihey wore assisting the enemy and increasing his power lo kill our own .soldiers. (Thai was a broad principle, he thought, incapable of being attacked. lie did not believe there was any country, including the United Stales, which, if engaged in such a contest as we now were, would hesitate to carry oul a policy of lho same kind. 11 was quite plain that when a criminal offence was created public no- lice must be given of lhe persons who must not bc dealt with. People could nol bc left to find il oul by possibly receiving a summons through a police court for transgressing the law. Thai was lhe reason for publication.

Find Lost War Papers One of the curious requirements growing out of the rush of war work is the need of a staff of "searchers" at the War Office to look up lost documents. The "searchers" make their I rounds early every morning. Very I often in the pressure of many kinds lot work, an important war record will get laid aside or covered up on i sonic desk, and it is thc business of the "searchers" to ferret out every lost record and get it back again iu lhc regular channels.

Russia's War Aims Some good-natured idealists hope i lo compensate Russia for Constailtin* oplc by the Persian Gulf, pointing'oitl ' that Constantinople is valueless so [ long as England holds Gibraltar and j the Suez Canal. A leader of lhc Russian Cadet Party has expressed I himself as follows on this point: "When our industry is sufficiently developed for us to send our wares to India and farther cast, then no doubt the Persian Gulf will become a desirable object. But at present our aim is to sell our grain to Italy and France���and for that purpose wc require Constantinople. Wc don't care who guards the Suez Canal.

In lhc introduction to thc: volume bearing thc title of "The Anzac Book," Licutenatit-Gcneral Sir VV, R. Birdwood says that the appellation ; of "Anzac" is purely arbitrary in its origin. "When I took the command of the Australian and New Zealand I Corps," explains Gen. Birdwood, "in Egypt I was asked to select a tele- j graphic code address for my army corps, and then adopted tbe word I 'Anzac' " This code word was pop-1 ularizcd when Gen. Birdwood, after | landing bis forces at Gallipoli, named the beach whereon they debarked "Anzac Cove." "Some of the greatest problems ol life are yet struggling for solution." "Yes, but don't worry.
