ON WEARING RIBBONS,
tlilitary Ones --Difference- Between
Mons and 1914 Canadian Ribbons,
Do yon know where to wear your
1914 service ribbon?
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.
October 1 of 100 hydro -airplanes and
1,000 men in gathering alines in the
North Sea,
The Ia^ ,s Agencyray: "Ger-
many meet delever all airplanes • to
the allies and must prohibit the con-
struction of other airplanes until the
conclusion of peace, the Supreme
War Council decided, The terms do
not decide the future fate of the air-
planes `which may either be destroy-
ed or divided among the allies. 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. Deputy
Aubigny, of the French Chamber,
will be chairman,"

economic problems resulting from
the war has decided upon an econ-
omic alliance with Belgium and
France, despatches received here say.

tive British troops in the armies of

many, including Dominion troops, on

Haig Turns Over Command

A despatch fromLondon says: -

Robertson is to be Commander- in -
Chief of the Army of the Rhine. •
0 little feet, unused to weight and
burden,
0 little legs, uncertain, timorous,
We smile as we behold our faint suc-
cesses,
Your doubtful stutnblingneee .ns so
vain to us,
Each three steps' journey' is a wild
adventure,
And perils lurk ,in floor and carpet
spaces,
Far from the sheltering chair and
couch, and farther•
The passage here to havening arms
and faces.
But still you dare -for life is spun
of daring;
And step by step ybur earnest
journeys lengthen,
As mastery grows out of careful
seeking,
As little legs and little purpose
strengthen.
We smile and hardly think of long
days coming
When you will walk with firm and
careless trust,
Watching, perhaps,, more little feet
that falter,
Long after we who smile are quiet
dust.
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.
"Let not the blessings we receive
daily from God make us not to value
or not to praise Him because they are
common."-Izaak Walton.
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.

Enemy to Blame for Leek of Vessels

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."

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,
