Canadian Soldier Re-Vlsits Scenes
Where He Fought—War-Scared
Ground Brings Sad But
Proud Memories.
Straggling French peasants are at-
tempting to restore a miserable re-
a.emhlanco to what they formerly
lived in, in the war wrecked neighbor-
hoods of their country, aceordlug to
what Major W. M. (Billy) N ekle, M.C.,
son of W. F. Nickle, K.C., M.P., of
Kingston, says. Major fickle has
just returned from a visit to the old
battle lines in France. Having gone
to France as a private in the Princess
Pats, been promoted to the rank of
officer, and having been wouuded
three times whilst bottling that rank,
Major Nickle gives a vivid story of
the eountry as one who sees it from
the view of a veteran.
"The thing which impressed me
most," says Major Nickle, "in passing
through the areas familiar to Cana-
dians, from Douai to Vimy, from Lens
to Loos, to La llassee, Hezehrouek
and Passehendaele, was the way the
peasants came back to the shell shal-
e. tered villages which they loft in the
dark days of 1914, only to find their
homes and surroundings absolutely
wrecked and ruined by enemy gunfire
and other.means of destruction. These
i easants are coming back to such
towns as La Bassee, where there is
not one wall of a house standing,
bringing with them a pick and shovel
and a few other crude tools, intending
to gather together a few whole bricks.
bits of wood, etc,, -left behind by the
advancing army, to build a roof aver
their heads, and once again settle in
the district where they were born and
raised.
"Until you see for yourself the suc-
cess that the peasant has in making
a new home for himself out of the
destruction of war you have no con-
ception of how well he gets on. Being
a soldier myself, and knowing .the
hardships of the trenches, I was able
to- understand the tremendous hard-
ship and sacrifice and discomfort they
must go through during the time they
are constructing their meagre domi-
ciles.
ommciles.
"They are a gallant people. In one
instance I called to a peasant, "Vive
la Franco He replied, d "lYieref Mon-
sieur.
O-sie r. Vive la -Belle France." " The
people of France indeed love their
country dearly.
"The soldier at home, who has not
seen the old line for a great while, is
likely wondering what it looks like
now. Inthe sector around Kemmel
and Armentieres there are large num-
bers of German prisoners clearing the
country. About Pase..chendaele Chinese
laborers are doin the same.
"Those who know pill boxes will ap
preciate how difficult it is to remove
what the Germans considered their
impregnable fortresses. In this sec-
tor there are no railways, few roads,
and bad transport, so therefore it is
bard to collect railway rails, barrels of
cement and other war materials.
"The soldiers at home may be won-
dering how the old trenches are,
Whether they have fallen in or not?
Practically all of them have, The
grass -hidden mouth of a dugout is oc-
casionally to be seen, but even though
they were occupied as late as last
summer, they are now musty and out-
of-date looking." The trenches are
sliding in, and in the wet districts, like
Ploegsteert and the Ypres sailient, are
only ditches now, Down about the
chalk country some of them are stand-
ing the wear of weather fairly well.
But on the whole, the old front and
rescrvo lines promise to disappear in
a few seasons of the heavy Flanders
rains.
"At St. Eloi I stood at what was
once the lip of No. 2 Crater. and look -
eta back over the country which was
so familiar to us in the spring of 1916.
It was beyond recognition. Dicke-
buseh was gone. Its church spire, and
even the walls of the church could not
be seen. Reninghelst, where Gen.
Mercer and many another Toronto
man lies burled, and which nestled so
cosily on the plain among the poplars,
was barely the skeleton so often seen
in the war zone Voarmezeele of
course, was as much obliterated as St.
'Clot, and suck familiarpoints to us as
Molloy Varin, White IIorse Cellars,
I3us House and R6 were washed out as
completely as heavy artillery can
wash out small parts of the land-
scape.
"At Vimy the trenches are bestpre-
served. Teddy Gerard, Billy Burke,
Vesta Tilley and the other lines in
that system, are very slowly decaying.
One fall and one winter have placed
thea mark upon them, but even now
they could be returned to condition as
a strong line of resistance."
Major Nickle was impressed with
the sadness of many scenes at the
front. The flicker of hope seemed to
show in the lives of the poor people
returning to lands that are of no use,
and will not be during their lives.
'Skeletons haunt every acre, and unex-
ploded shells threaten death to the.
cultivator of every yard of ground.
On practically every thousand yard
frontage of the old line, or at least on
every brigade front, there is a grave-'
yard. Hundreds and hundreds of
Canadians lie still in their last sentry
duty, a peaceful duty at last, may it
be osaid, but sad to the person who
stands above their silent sentry post
and ponders upon what they yielded
up in order to obtain this last "cushy_
job."
"Those of us who remain are in
honor bound," says Major Nickle, "to
protect the fruits of victory that the
sacrifice of gallant mei} made it pos-
sible for us to obtain.

pared potatoes have boiled.
Egypt's population may be taken

the Christians 83 per sent. are Copts.
The. effect of war conditions upon
the marriage rate is apparent from
the quarterly .sumrnary of the Aus-
tralian .statistics. In 1914 the anar-
riage rate was 8.80 per cent. of the
mean population. In - 1915 it ad-

Whereabouts of Europe's Dethroned
Rtrers-ingiand Affords Asylum
to Many Unfortunates.
"It is a privilege to live in this age
of rapid and brilliant events. It Is
once, of infinite romance. Thrones
tumble down, and Crowns are offered
like fairy tales."
These words of Disraeli, true enough
at the time they were written. are still
more true to -day, when almost half
the thrones of Europe leave been dra-
matically emptied, and their late oc-
cupants have scurried to safety like a
hock of panic-stricken sheep.
Ex -King Constantine is skulking
fearfully in Switzerland, which is also
the asyluin of the Grand Duchess of
Luxemburg and the sister who was al-
lowed to take her place for a few tur-
bulent weeks.
Ludwig of Bavaria, Is racing and
doubling like a scared rabbit through
the forests about Munich. sleeking in
a different place every night. Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria is said to be hiding
under an assumed name, and dis-
guised, in a vienna glum, The ex -
Kaiser and his cub are eating out
their black hearts in Holland,
And so on through the long list of
fugitive and vagrant Sovereigns whom
the world -upheaval has dung frolu
their thrones.
Some Black Lists.
And so it has ever been. Uneasy,
indeed, lies the head that wears a
crown.
In France for the last century and a
half ot monarchy but one King ---Louis
XVIII,--lluished his reign with his life.
During the last hundred years Russia
has seen the abdication of one Tear—
Constantine—and the dethronement
and murder of three others --Paul I.,
Alexander II., and Nicholas II. Spain
has rid herself of five rulers in the
sante period. Italy (including Sardin-
ia) has had two abdications;. and
every ruler of Serbia has ended his
brief reign in eclipse or tragedy.
Napoleon's downfall in 1814 emptied
seven thrones, from Warsaw to Spain;
and the wave of revolution in 1848
swept eight Sovereigns, including the
Pope himself, into exile.
It was in that year of cataclysm
that a shabby, elderly couple landed,
one bleak March morning, at Newha-
ven, from the steamer Express, to re-
sume their journey as "Mr. and Mrs.
Smith." They were no other than
Louis Philippe, ex -King of France, and
his Queen, come to seek sanctuary on
Britain's shores.
Twelve years later the Empress
Eugenie was flying from Paris for her
life, in the carriage of her dentist, Dr.
Evans, on her way to the yacht of a
friendly Englishman, bound for exiled
safety at Chislehurst.
Britain's Royal Guests.
One September day in 1868 Isabella
of Spain was whirled away in a special
train from her lost throne and her in-
furiated subjects, in company with her
feeble consort and her lover, Marforl,
strolling player and cook's son.
With her round, heavy face swollen
from sleeplessness and tears, sur-
rounded by a little straw hat with a
nodding red feather, with her dress in
.disorder, her hands gloveless, and her
skirts distended by a swinging chino -
line; "she presented," we are told, "a,
spectacle too pitiable for comedy."
Wood Norton, a palatial house near
Evesham, has been the home of the
exiled kings of France of .the House of
Orleans ever since the Duo d'Eumale
made his home- there seventy years
ago. And among other fugitive Sover-
eigns foe whpm England has provided
a home, not the least welcome are
King. Manuel of Portugal and his
charming mother, Queen Amelie.
Perhaps the most pathetic of all
these exiled rulers was Ranavolo,
Queen of Madagascar, who, when she
lost her crown, was taken to Paris to
spend'a sordid life "in a mean apart-
ment in a third-rate Hotel."
"I am a beggar," she once sadly re-
marked to a friend; "but one that re-
ceives no sympathy. Instead` of a
throne I am given a dinner, and in-
stead of the allegiance of my people.
the ridicule of my conquerors."

WHERE MINERS
ASCEND TO WORK
In the Rich Mountain Mines of West-
' ern Canada.
Miners working at a. coal mine in
the Cascade Mountains of Canada do..
not descend a shaft, but have to climb
up a mountain to a height of Nearly a
mile.
The mule is rich in coal, which oc-
curs in many seams, and five of these
are now beng worked at three dif-
ferent levels, the highest being 5,244
4
feet above sea level. The high alti-
tude makes the . means of approach a.
big item of expense, but it also makes.

respondingly low, as each loaded
truck runs down the incline from coal
seam to ground level under its own
weight„hand at the same time pulls up -
an empty truck on the other side by a,

• The coal obtained is anthracite, and
this is the only anthracite located so,
far among the vast stores of coal in
Canada.

Witty Toasts.
Here are a few witty and amusing
toasts given at banquets:
One rather cynical toast ran thus:
"Wonsan—she reguires no eulogy;
she speaks . for herself."
At the wedding breakfast of a deaf
and dumb couple, one guest, in the
speech of the evening, wished them
"unspeakable bliss."
At another gathering were toasted:
"The Bench and the Bar; if it were
not for the bar, there would be little
use for the Bench.
The following.,,was proposed at` a
shoemakers' dinner: "May we have
alt .the,women in the country to shoe„
and all the men to boot."
A young man referred to one mem-
ber of the sex he eulogised as "a de-
lectable dear; so sweet that, honey.
would blush in her presence, and
treacle stand appalled."

Fourteen per cent. of the soldiers
Canada sent overseas were farmer
boys. Forty-three per cent. of the
,soldiers who return will become farm-
ers. These facts, given out by the
government, furnish an interesting
sidelight on the changes war has
made in soldier psychology.
Itis always well to look .a little
ahead, Instead of deploring the dark

cent of the needed showers. We

Explaining the Story.
A visitor to a Sunday school was
asked to address a few remarks to the
children. Ile took the familiar theme
of the children who mocked Elisha on
his Journey to Bethel ---how the young
ones taunted the prophet, and how
they were punished when two bears
came out of the woods and ate forty
and two of thein.
"And now, chfidren," said he, "what
does this story show?"
"Please. sir," came from a little girl
in the front row, "it shows flow many
children two bears can hold."

"Ladies and gentlemen," he an -1
pounced, with a grand bow, "I will I
proceed to sing that famous ballad.
`Good-bye,' in a lady's voice, which'
willyappear to proceed from the empty i
air above your heads,"
The minutes passed. Looks of r
strain and agony, doubt and anger,
chased one another across the per-
former's face; but there was no song.
Then a voice certainly broke the
silence.
"'Tain't no good, guv'nor," it said.
"I've bin an' lost the gramophone
needle."
Conservation for Consideration.
It is a fact admitted by thinking
farmers that through negligence or
misplacedafrugality (n not providing
covering for implements of agricul-
ture, when not in use, they get about
half the years of service from them
they should. The loss from exposure
is greater than the deterioration that
follows through legitimate use.
We will assume that the necessary
equipment required to work a farm
costs $1,000 and that with care the
equipment may be used for ten ,years.
Without care these implements would
be scrapped in five years. The de-
duction to be made from these figures
is that ailimplementshed built and
in use in five years is equal to $500.
It does not, cost half that sunt to
build a good implement shed, but how
many farmers, otherwise up to date
and - progressive, fail to provide pro-
per care for the tools with which they
work?
