A Calvary in Flanders.
Surely no shrine is higher
Or worthier Canada's son,
Than this grave 'mid the thorn and
briar
On the hill -top we had won,
But common and mean and shabby
Beside these living walls,
Were the crypt of England's Abbey
Or the dome o'f great Saint Paul's.
For he lies in God's own chapel
Under a tangled screen
Of boughs where the sunbeams dapple
Aisles of untrodden green,
And naught but this great Command-
er's
Victory -cross adorns
His Calvary out in Flanders
On a hill -top crowned with thorns.

DESCRIBED BY THE BRITISH NA
VAL WRITER, "tTARPAULIN."
Stories, Grave and Gay, of What Hap-
pened on Britain's Mighty Ships
in Harbor and at Sea.
The navy was flooded by initials
during the war, and the mania• spread
to the ships. There were P -boats and
Q -ships. Submarines in the early
days were called 1J -boats, but as our
inventors progressed other letters of
the alphabet came into use, and in the
last few days one of the closely -
guarded secrets of the trade, the K-
boats, have bean publicly described...
I happen to number among my per-
sonal friends in the Service several
young submarine •officers, andfrom
them T have heard many good stories
of the adventures of these large
steam -driven, heavily -erred submer-
sible cruisers, more remarkable ex-
amples
xamples of naval architecture than ever
the much, -boomed Hun shipbuilders
thought of.
The K -boats are high -sea craft, and
operated with the Grand Fleet, so
their base, naturally, was Scapa Flow
in the Orkneys. In the long evenings,
particularly in the summer, there vas
much opportunity for skylarking, The
young bloods of the battleship ward-
rooms invented a great sport. They
formed "K -boat raiding parties," In
the falling dusk tiler crept up in a
dinghy to the anchored submarine,
where everybody was probably peace-
fully below, with hatches open. The
raiders stormed down the canning -
tower and the available hatches, and
proceeded to play "rough house" with,
their unwilling hosts.
The K -boat men held a council of
war. The thing was getting beyond a
joke. They arranged a game of their
own which they 'called "raiding sta-
tlons." Nov for the sequel.
A Bath For the "Big Noise."
On the first evening after they had
rehearsed their parts the look -out on
the conning tower reported a rowing-
boat
owingboat approaching. It was quite early
in the evening, but apparently the
raiders meant to make a night of it,
So the crews of the K -boats, went to
their stations. All hatches were
closed. They waited. The senior of-
ficer of the flotilla Beard someone
scramble from the rowing -boat on to
the iron plates of the submarine's
deck. He gave the order "Dive!"
Down went the submariuo about `six
feet, stopped there a minute or two,
and came up. The hatches were open-
ed,
pened, and the delighted K -boat men
tumbled up, roaring with laughter as
they fished their ducked visitors out
of "the ditch."
And then they discovered that it
was a four -stripe captain, a very
senior and important officer, whohad
come to pay them an official visit.
More grim was the adventure of an-
other
nother of the tribe which also tried a
stunt that was not provided for in the
Regulations.
The skipper. while on patrol in a
certain area, intercepted a signal that
an enemy submarine was operating
not far away, but in waters that were
outside the K -boat's beat. The chance
-was too good to be missed, and the
captain pushed off in the direction of
the enemy, only to be mistaken by our
surface craft for the enemy when he
got there,
He promptly dived to avoid the gun-
fire that concentrated on him, and
found himself in a worse plight still,
for our surface ships put down a heavy
barrage of depth -charges, the under-
water bombs that carried 500 pounds
of explosive, and were destructive if
they exploded 75 feet away from the
target.
Taking Notes About Death.
Fortunately for the K -boat, the
skipper had followed a zigzag course
as he dived, and the depth -charges ex-
ploded some distance away. • Our sur-
face craft, however, stack to their
prey. As the depth -charges seemed to
produce no result, they put down
sweeps, long hawsers that trailed
along the bed of the ocean until, they
caught, the obstruction being the sub-
marine., And they found him.
Then, .down the sweep they let
small charges slide, but, by the mercy
of Providence, they all went off some
time before they actually reached the
hull of the. K -boat.
It- was an. awful position for -the
friendly crew of the submarine; but
the captain, with extraordinary pre-
sence of mind, made a careful log of
all the effects of the explosions in or-
der that the experience might be of
use to our anti-submarine experts if
ever he cane out of the adventure
alive.
He. did. The pursuers exhausted
their stock of charges. and by skilful
navigation the K -boat was at last dis-
entangled front,. the 'sweeps, but she
had to snake her way home by guess
work, for every ons of the delicate in-
struments on board had been shat-
tered to fragments by the force of the
,explosions.
Imprisoned 67 Hours.
4tnoth.er grim story is that of K 13,
the submarine that sank in the Firth
of Clyde while , on her trials with a
large eon1pienlel t of civilian experts
an board, as well as her regular crew.
One' of the ventilating cowls failed to
close before she dived, with the result
that the engine -room was flooded, and
all the peoele there were drowned.
Those in the forward part of the
itight bull.rhead, in the centre of 'the
ship, held, and only a tlaln trickle of
water came through, whieh was kept
under by an electric pump. It was
after K 13 had been .down twenty-four
hours that Commander Goodhart made
his :attempt to escape, in order -to
i guide reservers to the spot, and was
killed. Fifty-seven hours from the
time of the accident, the first of the
survivors crawled out through a hole
in the bows, which had been hoisted
upabove the surface by the salvage
men.
A diver ilas established comznunica.-
tion with the interior previously by
unscrewing a shall brass cap in the
outer hull, and passing a flexible pipe i
inside, and down that pipe soup and 3
chocolate were passed to the impris-
oned. men. Then they were asked if
there was anything else they wanted
The Need of the Moment.
"Well, you might send down a pack
of Cards," was the unexpected reply
A story in lighter vein concerns a
young lieutenant who had done many
monthsin faboats, which are dr"' en
by internal combustion engines, and
not by steam. He was appointed to a
• K -boat. He joined her, and spent the
first twenty-four hours getting to know
his way about the navigation of the
ship, and had little time to devote to
the rest of her topography.
The next day was a `";,tend off."
Most of the crew went ashore, and
the skipper took the opportunity of
landing for a round of golf, leaving
the newcomer in command. At
about 2,80 a boat carne alongside, with
an engineering expert from the A.d.
miralty, who happened to be visiting
the Grand Fleet, and thought it a good
chance to look over a K -boat.
The young lieutenant did the
honors quite effectively as far as his
own department was concerned, and
then the visitor said:
"And what about your boilei" room?"
The officer had no idea where the
boiler -room was, but he paused for
only a second before replying,
"Well, sir, you see, the boiler -room
is so confidential that I couldn't take
you in' there unless you have a special
permit from the First -Lord."
And the visitor believed hint, and
went away satisfied!

CURBING GERMAN MILITARISM
France Determined Enemy Shall
Have No Chance to Drill Alen.
The decision of the Council of Ten
to Ihnit the German army to approx-
imately 100,000 men probably sounds
the death knell of German turnve-
reins and,
schuetzenfests, says a
Paris despatch. The French are in-
sisting that for a term of years, at
least until Germany is admitted to
the League of Nations, her military
establishment must be subject to the
closest inspection by allied officer
to make sure obedience to the Peace
Conference decree, not only tin letter,
but in spirit.
French experts in German af-
fairs, seconded by much British opin-
ion, insist that not only must the
German army be watched, but
that all associations of German men
for semi -military and athletic pur-
poses shall be forbidden, particular-
ly rifle clubs. ,Such organizations
readily could be employed as a means
of covertly establishing miitarism
and as a means of instilling a spirit
of revenge in German youth, which
spirit well be heightened by the terms
of the treaty when they are announc-
ed. -
Already , some alarming signs are
seen, as, coincident with the decision
of the allies to ldmit the size of the
German army and the announcement
of the Assembly at Weimar that the
new military force would be negli-
gible, conies the news from highly
authenticated ,sources that new "ath-
letic clubs are springing up all
Germany." For instance, the Koen-
igsberger 'Gymnastic Society has
started recruiting a volunteer corps
"to protect the fatherland against
Polish impudence." This has the old-
time Teutonic ring.
Scheidemann ;has bought training
grounds in many parts of Berlin for
various "athletic" clubs, and another
suspicious fact is that discharged:
German aviatorsehre organizing "avi-
ation sport clubs." , There is a notab-
ly large orae at Tilsitt, where young
men `are bum taught to fly. It is
siignificant that along with flying in-
structions they are introduced tot the
mysteries of handling airplane ilea-
chine guns and in dropping bombs.
The French are insistently asking
why these practices should have any
part in the program of a "sport"
club.
Phe •Freneh do not propose to be
caught napping again. They intend
to insist that the German fangs be
drawn once and for all.

Milli FERGUSON,
Clemenceau's Ancestors,
A writer remarks that heredity'
must have played a part in building
up the marvellous constitution which
leads M. Clemenceau to be described
as the "greatest young man in
France," For the past 300 years and
mare every one of his direct ances-
tors in the male line has belonged to
the medical profession, and so pre-
sumably learned to look after his own
health as well as that of other people.
This unique record of continuity was
brol-n for the first time when the
French Premier's only son, M. Michel
Clenicneeau, elected to become an en-
gineer rather than study medicine. The
Premier's father, who died only 12
years ago, and continued to practice
long after his SOth year, made his
famous son conform to the family tra-
dition.

War Closes Estates.
There are, or were before the war,
nearly 1,000 great country estates
scattered over Great Britain, many
of which have now been closed be-
cause of the huge taxation. Of these
sixty may be classed as private pal-
aces, for each required 'a staff of
from 200 to 600 servants and atten-
dants. Outside of the household ser-
vants there were many men employ-
ed as caretakers for the grounds,
gardens, park coverts, outbuildings
and stables.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cinoiunati authority, who tells
you. that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit-
tle cost from the drug store but is suf-
ficient to rid one's feet of every hard
or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
soreness Is instantly relieved. Short-

This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
