Salute Soundly Like How.
'When your soldiers saluate each
other, they say 'How,' just like the
Canadian India,,' saJd a war icor-
respendent to General Cadorna dur-
ing his recent visit to this front.
"It does sound like your English
'How,' " explained General caderoa,
'but what they really use Is a word
pronounced 'Chow.' though spelled
'Ciao.' It might be mistaken for
Chinese, but it s really an old Pled- d
montese mountain salutation." r
sines the war this word proneune- r
ed "Chow" Las become the most a
popular in the Italian language. One m
of Its peculisulties Is that it is never ' a
used by women. It is chiefly used by a.,
the soldiers as they pass each other "
along the front. One of the sights of 12
the front is to hear the exclamation
used by two comrades of Alvin rent- .,
ments who Lave not' met for a long "'
time. Tbe-"Chow" leaps from their I.1
very hearta, and then they fall to .,‘P.

LONDON: Feb.‘12.—Prof. Berne
Pares, who taught Russian histo
and literature in the University
Liverpool.' and is the official cor
'pendent of the British Goverome
on the Russian front, contribute'
interesting and Impressive article
the Daily News, on "The Tragedy
Russia." Writing with an 'Intim^
knowledge of Russia's early part

to her debacle, he says that one c
understand nothing without a kri w
edge of the colossal Russian cas
ties and also a lively sense of the
inevitable bearing, and on this
says: "The Russian army has do
Na duty and hasoserished eight tam
over in doing IS It's for us to unde
stand the position thus created. Tb
sin was the sin of autocracy, as a
three-quarters of the troubles fro
which Russia is now suffering, bu
tbe inevitable result is .that ove
whelming war -weariness which, fo
the now emancipated millions of Ru
sia, blurs out almost everything el
in a universal longing for peace,"
Of the enormous losses of (be Ru
aian Army, he writes.
'After ten months of war the Rus
.iians, according to statistics given ru
then by their War Office, had los
3,800,000 men In killed, wounded an
prisoners. la the drive Into Galicia
in 1915, through most of which
went, and. also. through the retreat
the loss of men which the Russian
acknowledgedwas far less than tbei
real Idie. The army owned to th
Io- of 150.000 men out of 350,000
but more often than not. 1 found
rotupany of 250 reduced by casualtie
to 40. and that was only half -way
through he retreat. One cannot for
get the wholesale nightmare of men
sent up, untrained and without rifles
and returning as cripples two days
later. Oq the Warsaw front a whole
division was sent under shrapnel
without rifles, and men who had no
helmets, tried. as elsewhere, to cover
their heads with spades. As a result
of this lark of equipment, enormous
nembers o? cripples for life were
spread wholesale over villages where
they were. often, almost the only men

•'Sfeanwhile War Minister Suk-
howlinov refused all offers of muni-
tions from factories not run by the
Governmeet. It was the general and
chief of staff of the arniy and the
director of artillery In Petrograd that
urged me to beg for them every pos-
sible help from England. and this I
Id on reaching London in a rnemo-
andum, in which I represented a
evolution. and also chaos as inevit-
ble. 1 was In this supported by the
illtary knowledge and conspicuous
bility of Gen. Knox, who, before
nd since, almost exclusively devoted
imsein in supplying the tragical
eerie of the Russian soldier.
"Lord Kitchener and Lloyd George

ble for the Russian army—as much

r could have done under the con -

•'However, the - criminal incompe-
nep of the Russian Government
ntinued. and with the same results.
May, 1916, I was present at a
ussian offensive on Lake Narech, of
hich no news had reached the pub -
and hardly any reached even our
presentatives at Russian Imperial
adquarters. We had now some ar-
fiery to concentrate at a given point.
Ith this we attacked for a month,
advinced a mile and a half and lost
50 per cent. of our men. Practically
all our artillery and aeroplanes were
taken from us. The Germans fell on
a day or two later, and it was
beer butchery, conducted systemati-
lly, with full knowledge of our im-
team. Of our troops, which had
again been brought up to full
strength, all the battlements le the
front line were reduced by nine -tenths
without our being able to Inflict any
loss in reply.
"Shortly before the break up of
the army. I found that the average
units, with whom lived, had been
newed entlre;y between eight and

Gas From Wood.
Experiments on wood as part sub-
stitute 'for enal in gas -making have
recently been carried out in France.
The wood used was lea -pine in the
form of billets cut from the middle
of the trunk. The charge of the
wood was about half the weight of
that of coal. and carbonization occu-
pied about half the usual time. When
running one retort with wood to
every two with coal, no appreciable
difference in the calorific power of the
gas wan noted. Of the two bye-
prodticts — small coke and tar — the
former amounted to nye to ten per
cent. The tar from the combined dis-
tillation of wood and coal Is much,
lighter than common tar, and le more
ffirult to separate from water In the
e0 enser. Owing to tbe acid char -
ante of certain of the products of the
dietill ion of wood—e.g., acetic

tion of coal sufficient to yield am-
