Re- turning to Montreal, he directed his energies to getting control of that city's power and light facilities. He first bought out the old Montreal gas company. Then he acquired the Royal Electric Company, and by degrees buying out competing com- panies or crushing them, he evolved the present Montreal Light, Heat, and Power Company, with its seven- teen million dollar capital and its almost absolute monopoly in the city and district, .of Montreal. Montreal Power is the monument U. S. Holt has reared tor his prow- ess as a financier. He knows about thet conipany and its equip- ment. He is the company's own. re- sident engineer, and has traveled all over the world improving his knowledge of electrical engineering problems. He is also a bank president; be- ing head of the Royal Bank. By the way he has the unique distinetion of ha,ving been president of two banks; for he was -the first presi- dent of the ill-fated Sovereign Bank, and held that office for three years. Sir Herbert is a director of the C.P.R. and is a liberal invest- or in stocks of any kind that have a basis of inelustriseism. He is one of the biggest of Montreal's finer clad, magnates—one of the inner del. Ole. • Personally he is also a big Mari. He, is rather better than six feet in height and his frame is -powerful and well knit—that of a man who lived his early life out- doors and was very much at home There is nothing 'of 'the: mixer about about this new Montreal knight, He spends most of Ms time between his house on ,Stanley Street and his of-, 'Ace in the Power Building on Craig Street. , Usually he makes. a trip te' I • ' Cr�wn Bran Corn Syrup , > POUR IT ON PORRIDGE YOU caret iniagine how delicious dish of Oat - Al• lineal Porridge becoineS when it is sweetened with "Craws Brand" Corn Syrup. - • . • Have it fer breakfast to -morrow--- watch the kiddies' eyes sparkle with the first spoonful—see how theeecome for.,(moee'.

They Were Stragglere Who Had Ite dulged ln Too Much Wine, One of the few war subjects witice has not been exaggerated is the really amazing friendship whicle has sprung up between the soldiers' of the allied armies. If you consider that they cannot understand a word of each other's language, you might imagine that real iutinmey were -no more than a dream. Such is not the cese. Mr. Athens and M. Piou.Plou Lave become actual and real frieuds, and to see them strolling along liberty hours. arm in arm and talking volubly, is a liberal education in .the possibilities of human nature, writes 0. M. Hueffer. One incident which the writer per- sonally witnessed "somewhere near the front," as the war correspondents say, and which speaks volumes for the friendship of the allied private sot' diers must be prefaced by the state- ment that some 40 per cent. of the British troops at present at the front are total abstainers. I happened to be walking across the market place of the little town with it Staff officer of the British. Just in our way were, 1 sup- pose, it couple of hundred French pri- vates. • As we came up to them they fell away before us in a manner alto. gether incomprehensible, backing to. ward the nearest wall, keeping their faces always towards us, and saluting continually with a surprising enthusi- asm, asked the colonel what he sup. posed it meant. He replied, with raised eyebrows, that it was altogether incomprehensible. Three minutes later, having left the colonel at the door of his headquart- ers, I discovered the key, of the nlYs- tery. Three British stragglers, who had lost their battalions and were look- ing for them had wandered into the town. They had Genie far, and on tb.e way the peasantry, who by this time positively adore "les Anglishes," had offered them the wine whiCh was red. Their French comrades, recognizing their condition, had Rocked together to protect them from any possible punish- acrass the Atlantic'once a'year, but the rest of the time he lives ottietly `at'llonae. He doesn't care for clubs . . . andha few intimates. Coal may be high, lout after it is the it soon gets lower. Plea at the hands of the Britisla effle' cers—whence the manoeuvring in the' mariteepl ace. The pains which those French sol- diers took subsequently to iusure the, safety of thele charges was a lesson, in humanity. - After long consultatioa they decided that the village church' was the best place of sanctuary; east' accordiagly they led them there, pro. cured /arge trusses of straw, and left them to sleep off their "fatigue,” as one of the Frenchmen put It, Two of the culprits proved perfectly amenahlei and went quietly to sleep. The third, of more heroic mold, no sooner foiled; himself abandoned, than he arose' swiftly to his feet, left the church, and; wandered again through the market.; place, hinting by signe to the passers.. by that he was still athirst. His watchful French protectors rose to the occasion, led him again to the. sanctuary, and again put him to bed.; Two minutes later he was out again, recommencing his tour of the market., place. I do Pot think I am exaggerat; Ing if I say that this performance was gone through ten times, with unvary- ing patience on the part of the French- men, before the infantryman -errant was at last perinitted to go to sleep. Even theu guardian angels in red breeches waited outside another quar- ter of an hour to make sure that he should not change his mind. The writer could instance a hundred cases within bis own personal 'knew - ledge where the instincts of our com- mon humanity have triumphed over the red bestiality of war, from an ea- tual set-to at fisticuffs between a Ba. variiin and one of the West Surreys in the space between the trenches, with both armies as enthusiastic spectators, to a. case of which I was told by an, eye -witness, when an Englishman andi a German both sacrificed their lives, unavailingly, as it proved, to save that of a French peasant boy who had somehow wandered into the very mid- dle of the flght.
