On the men of an ex -Imperial son der both the Mons Star ribbon and the 1914 Caneelian service ribbon, are worn on the left breast. as are all other service ribbons. A short time ago a veteran stated that the Mons Star ribbon and the Canadian 1914 ribbon were exactly the same. They are, and they are not, the colors and shading are identical, the only difterence, however, is an Wiper - tart one. for a Mons hero wears a blue. white and red ribbon and the Cnnuck turns his rightside up and wears a red, white and blue ribbon. The correct custom, an Imperial sol- dier says, is to wear the service but- ton utton on the right-hand side of the coat. if relatives of a deceased soldier wear the Tatter's decorations+tof valor their ribbons should be worn on the left side. A. despatch from Pani, says:-- 'The aerial terms of the German dis- •armament as adopted by the Supreme War Council provide that airplanes and dirigibles shall no longer be; used for military purposes, The Council •concluded that it was not feasible to prohibit airplane., for eoniinereial use:." The drafting committee -vas •directed to make clear the distinction excepting commercial airplanes in the terms incorporated hi the peace terms. All forms of rnilitary airplanes are barred to Germany, the only excep- tion being the temporary use until.

The British and American delegates brought up the question of a 'distinc- tion beween commercial aerial nevi- gation, which will be authorized for Germany after conclusion of peace under certain guarantees and mili- tary aerial navigation which will be Prohibited. "The Council decided to send an aeronautic eotntnisaion to Germany to investigate the question of com- mercial aerial navigation.

Washing Gloves. The secret of success in washing chwamois and doeskin gloves lies in usiarm:ng lukewarm or cool water --bet ter cool than even a few degrees too That, at least, is one .of the sec- rets; the other is to use soapy water. The soapier the water, providing it is. of the right temperature, the silkier and softer Vie gloves will be. They should first be freed from all dirt in a soapy bath in order that they may be rinsed from the dirt set free. They should then be pressed and squeezed in a thick towel until they are free from soap and water as near- ly as possible. Then they are ready to be hung to dry in a cool dry place. Never hang . them near a fire and never hang them in the sunshine if you would have them soft andpliable after laundering.

British Control the Situation in the Caspian Sea. ,Naval forces under British com- mand now dominate the situation in the Caspian Sea, according to official information secured by 'Reuters,,,,Ltd. For some months past there have been naval forces on this sea, the of- flcial account states. They were. originally sent to prevent the Bolche-_ vists from controlling the situation, This naval ford seized certain armed steamships, which now ,are manned by Russian crews, which marched up by land from Mesopotamia' with a British force as a nucleus. These steamers are commanded by British naval officers. The original Russian flotilla in the Caspian, it is added, consisted of two gunboats, two dispatch vessels and three steamers; These also have just been taken over by the British -Rus- sian naval forces. British troops have been operating on both banks of the Caspian, in the Caucasus and in Turkestan. TO ALLOW GERMANS HUNS TO BE HOUSEQ!

Toronto Enemy to Blame for Leek of Vessels to Distribute Food. 1 Control of the German ships is a necessary condition to the feeding of the German people and the GQ,r- • mans have made that a tvation, dc - claret the Westminster Gazette in discussing the break in the shipping negotiations at Spa. "Again and again during the last two years," the paper adds, 9t has been pointed out te them that the destruction of •merchant tonnage by their ruthless submarine warfare would produce P. situation ,?n which it might be totally impossible to sup- ply Germapy her, elf with the food I and raw materials which she would ' need when the war ended, This is the often prealeted nemesie of 'rut-b. less submarine wart:;, e "If the Allies are unable r. eel lack of tonnage to send sufficient coal and food to their friends, the use of air- man tonnage will enable theist to do just,:ee to their friends and at the same time provide for their enemies, but we are obliged to tell the Ger- mans that this is the only way and if it acmes harsh and repugnant they have themselves to thank for it." The stand teticere by the Gernnan. representatives at Spa in refusing to deliver German meralinut ships is commented upon by the newspapers as an attempt to blaekmail the Al- lies, says a Paris despatch,- The newspapers say that the incident must be regarded very calmly. The Homme Libre, the organ of Premier Clemenceau, says that such attentpts at resistance nen prove fu- tile, "Premier Lloyd George having demon,trated that the Allied govern- ments will be still more exacting than the miitary experts in regard to disc mament." The Matin says: --"Germany for- gets too easily that she is vanquish- ed. The sole reeult of th,is incident will be that the,revictualling of Ger- many will now depend on the accept- ance by Germany of all conditions of the new armistice." Canadian Red Cross Aorist Starving Prisoners in Siberia A despatch from Vladivostok says: -The desperate condition of enemy prisoners and returned Rus- sian prisoners in Siberia is now oc- cupying the attention of the British and Canadian authorities and pro- posals are now under consideration by which the Canadian Red Cross would assume charge of the situation. Five carloads of supplies have al- ready been shipped for the poisoners, but immense operations are neces- sary to relieve 200,000 enemy prison- ers and 300,000 returning Russians. The British Red Cross unit in Siberia has been demobilized and the Canadians are carrying on the work, it: - Tunnel Under Berring .
