The mperilous job that anyone
can under ke In the jungle is the
capture of full-grown girilla. It
is said that o gorilla has ever bees[
captured alio after he was full
grown He wo Id be a bold man who
would attempt pch a teat. Gorillas
tear nothing. 'ven when mortally
wounded they show an agility,
strength, and f'e ity which is as-
tonishing, A fam ua traveller once
stated that it would \take 150 men to
hold down a gorilla With any degree
of safety.
On the other band, IL other apes
are pathetically easy to capture The
usual method is for a t per to seat
himself where he is ce sin to be
observed by these croat res and
pertend to drink from a bottle of
crude spirits. When he is slue that
be has been observed, be Ieailes the
bottle and goes away, \
The moment his back is turned the
monkeys ruab to appease their ear-
iosity concerning the contents of the
nettle. They like the taste of the
spirits, and quarirel among them
selves for it till the bottle has been
emptied. They are soon overcome
by the intoxicant, and the trapper
returns and gathers them up. -Tit -

Woo the German People
and Thus Scare Peat.,
Says British Statesman
HE British people have bad
many surprises since the
outbreak of tbe war, but
none has been greater than
that caused by Lord Lansdowne's
action in launching himself into the
public arena on the side uta those
who want definite efforts to be made
to secure peace. -Tbe whole world is
now diecussin$ his recent letter
pleading for a revision of the war
aims of the Allies and an attempt to
Hectare peace before "the prolonga-
tion'pf the war leads to ,the ruin of
the civilized world." The import-
ance ot'Lord Lansdowne's attitude is
that no a can accuse him of desir-
ing to ai the enemy. The Marquis
of Lansdo a Is a typical represen-
tative of tb old Tory party. He
was a membe of Asquith's coalition
Administration and was Secretary
for Foreign A rs le Lord Salis-
bury'S'and Mr. B four's Ministries.
He was Viceroy o India and Gov-
ernor-General of Ca ada. He was
the last public man t 1* suspected
of pacifist tendencies. t will be jm-
posslble for anyone to r est on hts
motives. Even 1f they ar mistaken,
the great Conservative atesman
was undoubtedly 'moved take
action by humanitarian and p riotic
considerations. Canadian., w I be

How good old Santa would enjoy

"Ho, ho, ho!" laughed lite. Smith.
"Twelve cents? No, Edwina. The

iCdwina hurried away from SmI h'b
store and went to a little 10 cent store.
Here were ail sorts of things she could
huy with her money, but It was hard
to choose something Santa Claus might
like. There were books -such nice
stories, too. One In particular. called
"Patty mud Her Pitcher," was so de-
lightful that Edwina was sure Santa
Clans would like it. So she paid 10
cents for that, and with the remaining
2 cents she bought two sticks of red
and white etriped randy.
When she showed these things to
her father end mother they did not
even smile. hill they said they were
sure Santa Claus would be pleased.
"1 shall hang a stocking for Sawn

wina, and on the stocking she pinned
• note saying:
'From a tittle girl- who loves you."
She went happily to bed, sand the

ORD LANSDOWNE
interested in his action on account of
the fact that he was once Governor-
General of the Dominion. 1i fact,
Sir John A. Macdonald pronounced
him the greatest Governor-General
we had bad up to that time. There
is Just a possibility that his letter
may become a historic document.
His letter gives formal adhesion to
President Wilson's policy of a league
of nations, and he asks: "What will
be the value of the blessings of peace
to nations so exhausted that they
can scarcely stretch forth a hand to
grasp them?"
Lord Lansdowne contends that an
Immense stimulus would probably
be given to the [Peace party in Gsr• I
many If It were understood:
First, that the annihilation of Ger-1
many as a great power was not de-
sired: second, that we do not .eek to
Impose upon the German people a
form of government against their
choice: third, that. except as a legiti-
mate war measure, we do not desire
to deny to Germany her place among
the great commercial countries;
fourth, that we are pr'epar'ed atter
the war, in concert with the other
powers, to examine the international
problems connected with the freedom
of the seas; atth, that we are pre-
pared to enter into an international
pact under which ample opportuni-
ties would be afforded for the settle -
meet of International Maputo; by
Peaceful means "
iansdowne'n long and intimate
connection with foreign affairs and
diplomacy lends unusual authority to
such a pronouncement at the tno-
meet of the meeting of the later -
allied Conference at Paris, and be-
cause of Clemenceau's recent declar-
ation against a league of nation.,
Including Germany, and already
there are tndinatlone of embittered
eoatrovsrsy over it.
