TRE Hospital for Sick Children College St, Toronto ITS CHRISTMAS MESSAGE. • Dear Mt Editor: - Thanks for your kindness In allowfug tne the privilege of appealing to your readers this Christmas time on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the "Sweetest of all Charities," which has see its mission the care of the helpless, the sIck, the crippled and the defetmed There never was a year in the his. tory of the Hospital wben funds to carry on the work were more needed than now. Tour purse is the Hospital's Hope, Vour money lights the candles of mercy on the Christmas trees of health that the Hompltal plants along .he troubled roadway of many a little :ife. So I am asking you for aid. for the apen purse of the Hospital's frieud is the hope of the Hospital at Christmas lust as the open door of the Hospital's mercy is the hope of the little children throughout the year. Calls en generous hearts are many in these times. Calls on the Hospital ere maw, at all times, and especially when fOod and fuel and drugs and see :ice costs are soaring high. 'YOU know the high cost of living. Do you know the high cost of healing --of helping the helpless to happiness? What you do to assist is the best. in- vestment you will ever make, . • Do you realize what this charity is doing for sick children, not only of Toronto, but for all Ontario, for mit of a total of 3,740 in -patients last year '346 came from 254 places outside of Toeanto. Tae field of the Hospital's service covers the entire Prate:toe- from the Ottawa to the farbff Kenora •-from the borders of the Great Lakes to the farthest eortherly distriet. The Hospital is doing a marvellous work. If you ould gee •the chileree with crippled limbs, club feet, and. other deformities, who have left the Hospital with straightened limband perfect correction, your response to our appeal would be instant. In the Orthopedic bepartieents lest year a • total of $$0 in -patients were treated; and in the Out -Patient Department there were 1,944 attendances. Let ymir money and the Hospital's mercy lift the burden of misery that curies the 'lives, cripples the limbs and saddens the 'mothers of the flut- tering little children. • Money mobilizes the powers of help and healing for the Hospital's drive day ehd night against the treechee where disease and pain and death WOW the Mee of the little ones.

With enough of these, experts be- lieve, the German T.hboat and ether naval bases and the Krupp works and Miter vital nerve ()entree of German warfare 'can be blasted off the face of the earth. In their work such planes must he agile:need by swarms of the smaller types, airplanes which Light airplanes, a thing the wide, winged bombing craft cannot de, and unlimited turne bers of the smaller types are aisle 00- sential for reconnaissance and for control of the air over the fighting lines on land, But 11 19 in the bombing craft that a solution, of the war's gravest problems is beginning to be seen. Latest official British reports estimate the eestruc• Um of bottoms as between 750,000 and 3,000,000 tons a month, An idea of what these figures mean has been brought sharply to the attention of the people in this country In the past few days, during which Washington de• elared that for lack of available trans- ports various units of the National Guard are likely to be beld in train - trig tamps all winter, Admitting that this is the the sit- uation seems scarcely expected to be changed next spring so long as sub• marines continue to sink mare ton- nage monthly than an possibly be built in the eomfbined shipyards of Great Britain and the America in a month, While many Americans are con• fidentiy looking to Edison and his fel- low inventors to find some means of smelting the undersea murderers, naval authorities are not so sanguine. Furthermore, the practleability of a great allied land and sea attack on German naval bases, the nests of U. boats, has been virtually denied by strategic experts, In their struggle to find the remedy military Jaen are gradually turning to control of the air as the one certain mode of strangling forever and a. day the Pan-Germanie aspiration to world „..?lominion. Hence Congress' recent ac - non in passing the f640,000,000 appro- Deletion, the first of a series of appro- priations to make the United States supreme in the air. Just what types of aerial machines win prove most effective, and where the great air fleet, onee it 'is con- structed, can be most advantageously directed are still subjects of conflicting opinions. Will blinding the enemy's reconnaissance eyes end the war more quickly, or will bombing his naval bases and with them shattering his undersea monsters prove the more era peditious? • If both are to be attempted, huge bombing and torpedo planes such as are not contemplated In the -Govern- meta's programme so far as is known will have to be supplied. Suck planes with carrying capacity of tons of high explosives could in night attacks in force play havoc with Kiel, Zeebrugge, Essen or Wilhelmshaven. In a recent statement of what has been accomplished by the War De- partment since the beginning of the war Secretary Baker declared the United States would have sooner or later enough airplanes to invade Ger- many through the air. He would not state, he said, whether this meant 22,000 or 1,000,000 maehinet, IA''hat this declaration means in terms of airplane models was, of course, not reVealed, and probably will not be, but the day of the big plane, a type that may the'clevoted to mail carrying in timeof peace, appears te be coming. It is known that a short time ago the attention of the Govere. merit was directed to the strides Italy has made in this direction by Meter Perfetti of the special Italian aero, nantie •mission to the United States. More than any other ,country -tete has developed the inonster bomelag and torpedo planes. and yet she has not a sufficient number to overwhelm 1 the enelny along ter own frontline. .Thla twinge the problem bitch to Aire erica becaUse of ottr manuftteturing redlines and eupply of raw materials. 0111' programme, SQ far as the public le perreittecl to know, proVides for lite constructioa of thousands of small swift ,pilot and war plenes, the value of •which cannot be overeatimated. As an aid to artillery firing and by the same token a means ot blinding the enemy's eyes they are without a peer, bltletntthey are not weanons of bombard- aFor this reason the developutern of the larger plane by the 'United States eeems Inevitable, It is essential to have machines Which on do at long range what big guns accomplieh at short range, This fact was pointed out by Major Perfetti, He wasabile to discuss it not theoretically asthad been discussed heretofore, but as a Provee accomplishment, demonstrated by the groat Capronl triplane, now a Part of Italy's aerial fleet. According to Henry Woodhouse, au- thor of the "Textbook of Naval Aero- nautles," and member of the board of governers of the Aero Club Pt Amer- ica, the largest of the Capron' trl- planes has three 600 horsepower motors, ally one of which can keep the machine in flight should the others be shattered by gunfire or merely titop functioning:, as motors occasionally ao. It ha e a speed of eighty miles an hour, carries five tons of high explo- sives, is capable of flying five or six hundred, miles and returning with ample fuel reserve. Imagination can picture the wake of destruction a fleet of a hundred of these. huge machines would leave. The Government plans to turn out some- thing like 20,000 aeroplanes a year. Suppose for a moment that 1,000 of these were the monster bombing model and that Me number, supported by a fleet of the small typos, should wing their way over Kiel or Zeebrugge In a concerted attaek, and euppose further that this attack was supported by a simultaneous land and sea often - sive against the same bases. It takes no great stretch of fancy to picture the hiding places of U-boats and Germany's battle fleet literally wiped off the face of the earth, anti the power et her one remaining hope of winning the war, the submersible, gone a -glimmering. There is every reason to believe the Allies, including the United. States, of course, are preparing for this identical operalion.'Engia.nd, as is well known, Is now building large models of the Handley -Page, Curtiss and Gallaudet types. These are not so large as the Caproni machines, but they obviously serve the same need. Germany would naturally combat such an attackeand the struggle would involve casualties, but not a fraction of the number sustained in the least important land operations, as Mr, Woodhouse has pointed out. Experts hold that the logical time for such4an attack is at night, when it ls extremely difficult for aeroplanes to be located in the sky. In a recent article Mr. Woodhouse tells of a simul- taneous night raid on the BaIkaa front made by allied and enemy planes, The opposing foteas passed each other en route, but neither saw the other. The • great offensive bombardment machine Is beginning to be viewed as the one certain antidote for thel1-boat Second in size among the Caproni medele, according to air. Woodhouse, is the 600 horse -power triplane, which has a wing spread of about OS feet, carries a crew of three, 4,400 pounds of explosives, has a speed of 80 miles an, hour and, like the larger model. can travel hundreds of miles and return with fuel reserve. These have been used to great advantage against the Austrians, but their work will not result in a decisive victory until they are produced in greater numbers. Again the subject returns to •the United States. In these times quantity and America have become alment synonymous terms. On the btllief that America, along with her gifts of soldler.s, munitions and food, will furnish enough aero - plans to bury U-boat bases and blind elm eyes of German artillerymen rests a great share of the hope of tne allied cause. -New York Sun, o.#444-#.-•-•-•44-s-A.4-#4-4.4-#44-•+#-*-# A All Europe is Hungry 4.4.11 -11.41.134 -13 -4 -43,3 -43 -434 -11 -•-•-•.**4-4-44,-* The Freneh Echo de Paris recently published a review of food restric- tions in belligerent as well as neu- tral eountries of Europe, with the ex- ception of Prance, where More severe restrictioes than heretofore are be- ing considered by the authorities and will soon be announced.

R. has done in the direction of food conservation has resulted in so many letters of commendation, as the footnote printed on all menu cards on C. P. R. dining cars and hotels. This reads: "In the interest of food conserva- tion, young Iambs, little chickens, lit- tle pigs, and their by-products, are not used in the C. P. 11. service." The editok of a prominent mining journal says in a leading article: "It Must have required sorne• grit: as well as a full Sense of duty for an Institution whieli includes such hotels and restaurants as are found on that railway, to put such a memoran- dum before their high-class patrons: But it has been done, and its moral eft feet has been wider than the actual wastage that has been saved.

It would be a mistake to suppose that the bird's wings enable it to fly. It wings spelled flying any of us could attach a Pair and soar hit° the air. The hollow bones of the Weds melte light bodies, but they are attached to a rigid backbone, which forms the main feature of the bird's body.

Another legend relate that Thetis snatched the body ot Achilles from the funeral pyre, that Ile was restored to life, and that thereafter he lived on the Island aatil tphigenia, the daughter. of Apeman. non, who had been eaved from sacee, flee by the goddess Artehis. . One of the most poetic descriptions 0! tho wrote: by Arrian in the account of his : island and its temple is give voy- age around the Black Sea in the sec- ond century of the Cnristian era. He "tt is related that Thetis gave this island to Achilles, and that he still in- habits it. His temple and statue, both of very ancient worktnanehtp, are seen there. No human being dwells on it. It has only a few goats, which mariners convey to it as votive offerings. Other offering* or sacred gifts are suspended in honor of Achilles, such as vases, rings and Pre. cious gems. "Seabirds, avers and fova innu- merable frequent the island, and the birds alone have the care ot the shrine. Every morning they repair to the sea and, dipping their winge in the waves, sprinkle the temple and afterward sweep with their plumage ito sacred pavement," The name Island of Serpents grew out of the fact that numerous black enakes from four to five feet long were discovered here by mariners. Many of the reptiles are said to have fallen in the cisterns of the Island and polluted the waters, which are now undrinkable. The Amazons are supposed to have. attempted to setae this 'eland on one occasion, but the ghost of Achilles ap- peared and so terrified the horses of the female warriors that the riders were thrown and severely trampled upou, whereupon the expedition was abandoned. This meager rock brought England and Russia to the verge of war sixty years ago, following the treaty of peace which ended the Crimean con- flict. The island was not mentioned In the terms of the treaty, and, wheu Turkey sent a small party to relight the lighthouse, which had been . dark through the struggle of 1858-0, Rus- sia attempted to take control of the beacon which stands as a guidepost to the Danube's mouth. England pro. tested and sent a fleet across the 131ack Sea to enforce her demands In behalf of her 'then recent ally, the Sultan. Russia, after a brief threat of resistance, yielded.
