You wouldn't exactly call it hands across the sea, because Canada is only across a lake; but Canada is par't`of England, which is a long way from South State Street, says a Chicago writer. Anyway, what I'm driving at is this 'Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Dennis, of- ficer commanding the western division of the British Recruiting Mission, recently clasped hands with Captain, F. R. Iienney, officer com- manding the recruiting district of Northern Illinois for the United States army. When two belligerent parties shake hands there are only two things which the referee or third party can say— either "Take ay--either-"Take your corners" or "Bless you, my children." I said neither. But I held Ply" breath, for it was an impressive mo- ment, the formal enactment in Chi- cago of .immortal history; the physi- cal union of the fighting strength of two great nations. And the spirit of patriotic co-operation in- the common' cause of justice sanctified the alli- ance. Colonel Dennis and Captain Kenney joined in plans. What they want is men to send to the front. Neither h as _any choice as to whether the men go in Canadian kilts or American 'khakis. At every one of the dozens of scat- tered stations under Captain Kenney's command volunteers of Canadian citizenship were taken for the expedi- tionary forces of the Dominion; at every headquarters. over which .Colonel. Dennis has control volunteers of American allegiance were taken for our own National Army. Captain Kenuey is credited with be- ing a bit of a bearcat on the science of recruiting. But he was immensely impressed with the policies and ideas expressed by the distinguished Cana- dian man of war. Colonel Dennis says that there are 157,000 Canaclians , in Chicago. Cal- gary, with a total population of 60,000, sent 16,000 soldiers to the front. What then might Chicago yield ? There are about 350,000 British sub- jects here, ubjects,here, and some sixty-five St. George and Maple Leaf societies. . material of ate l h - r e e There is no shortage about for the British recruiting• mis- sion, A thrillingly interesting man is Colonel Dennis. IIe is the most ver- satile individual I have ever met. If. one were suddenly to inquire in Ot- tawa, "Who is Dennis ?" one might get back the typically British answer, "Who is he not ?" For years he was assistant to 'the president of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, Lord Shaughnessy. He has fought Indians, is a veteran - with honors of the ,South African expedi- tion, has engineered road building where Indians had to be killed as re- gularly as ties had . to be laid in the t progress; but he is more—the is a Perfect Day, should end ---as well as begin—with a perfect food, say - Grape uts with cream.

Despite all that has been printed to. the contrary Germany is dependent upon foreign countries for many of the. necessaries of life. In the year pre- ceding the outbreak of the war ber imports amounted in 'value .to- no less. than $3,000,000,000. Tee suspension of her trade with Russia, France Bel- gium, Italy and Great Britain, to •gether with the blockade of her coasts by the ,„Entente fleets, naturally cut down these figures to a vast extent, throwing her to a greater degree than ever before upon her own resources. Still there were a number of foreign products that she could not, do with- out, and these she has been obtaining from the neutral countries. Some idea of the degree to which Germany has been drawing supplies from the Netherlands and from the three Scandinavian kingdoms may be gathered from the fact' that their foreign imports have increased not merely tenfold but in some cases nearly a hundredfold since the begin- ning of the war. The only inference from this is that all the goods import- ed over and above the annual average in tinges of peace have been resold to Germany, in spite of all sorts of 'en- tgagements with the Powers of 'the Entente to refrain from thus helping their enemy.

ARMY SAVING FOOD BRITISH A : Men as Well Fed as Ever, But Saving Amounts to 15 Per Cent. • The British army in the field is con- suming about 15 per cent. less of food- stuffs per capita than it did eighteen months ago., This is not due to any studied dimi- nution of rations, but to a more care- ful distribution and the prevention of waste. It is very easy for a'.generous commissariat to supply an army with more than it can use. In the early days of the war this practice of gen- erosity was well-nigh universal, be- cause it was regarded as wiser to pro- vide too much than too little, and the reaching of the exact mean is not a simple, matter. The policy of over- supply was well enough. when food- stuffs were fairly plentiful, but nowa- days, when the result of. the war may depend upon the solution of food pro- blems, nothing is being left undone to prevent waste. The British, soldier is still the best - fed soldier in •Europe;fbut the supply departm.ens are gradually rescuing, him from the stigma of .being at the same time the most wasteful. Stocks of meat and bread are closely watch- ed, and - unused allowances must be .held over and added to the'. store far the next meal or the next day. The private soldier takes more kind- ly to the don't -waste -food campaign. than was expected, for at heart the British has an aversion to see= Tommy ing good food going into the waste box le l never did it at home, and it looks like bad business to be doing it in France, - It requires no knowledge of higher, strategy to see the good sense of the don's•weete-,food idea, and he has taken on the anti -waste regulations with more cheerfulness and less argu- nient than nmrkcd the adoptionof the steel helmet; or the gas mask. • s carried on to � e I'raec.ling' machine s1 p , motor trucks, are being used in Eng- land to repair automobile broken down on country roads.

Chinese Ships Carry Copious Supply of Firecrackers to Scare 'I'liem. When a Chinese crew sets sail these days, says the New York Times, it al- ways takes along a lot of firecrackers.

Now that the U-boat is a danger to • ships, the Chinese sailors take with them on voyagesegreat strings of fire: crackers, which they explode inthe danger zones to frighten away the German U-boat along with other evil things.
