Occurrences in the Land That Reigns Supreme in the Commer- ciel World. • London is now the principal mare ket of the world for opium. The British Navy is to be increased by 50,000 officers and Men. Any person occupying a room with a brilliant light at the seaside is now liable to a fine of $500,, It- is stated that the health of Prin- cess Louise, Duchess of Argyles is causing some uneasiness among the members of the Royal family. Princess Henry of Battenberg visit- ed the Red Cross Hospital at Gats- combe (Isle of Wight) and distribut- ed pipes among the wounded soldiers. Under the will of Mr. Alfred Bil- brough, a local resident, who died last week, a number of Leeds Chari- ties benefit to the extent of upwards of $150,000. Tho chapel of St. George and the English Martyrs in Westminster Cathedral is to be dedicated as a memorial chapel to the memory of fallen officers. The death is announced of Mr. Charles Fish, for many years cox - wain of the Ramsgate lifeboat `Brad- ford," who had served in the harbor for over forty years. No fewer than 19,648 boys who have received their training in re- formatory schools in Great Britain have served during the war in the naval or military forces. The first factory for the manufac- ture of British violins has been in -„ire stalled at Hampstead, where arrange- ments are being made to employ dis- abled soldiers and sailors. The widowed mother of Private Barber of Wilinslow was so overcome by excitement and''6y joy at her son's home -coming that she had an apo- plectic seizure and died. The Maharajah Sam Sahib of Na- wanagar, better known as K. S. Ranjitsihnji, the famous cricketer, has presented his English home at Staines to the King as an hospital for wounded officers. Mr. Herbert Samuel, Postmaster - General stated in the House of Com- mons that more post office men are to be released for the war, and wo- men employed in their places. Mr. Brace, Under-Secretary for the Home Office, states that between May 13 and July 6, 7,144 alien ene- Imies have been interned, and the total number now interned is. Z6,718. Colonel Deacon, commanding the Essex Yeomanry, whose fate has been unknown since the gallant - charge by the regiment near Ypres, has been reported to be a prisoner in Germany. A cheque for $4,375 has been re- ceived from the Government 13y the Rev. A. E. Johnson, vicar of All Saints, Scarboro, towards the cost of making good the damage caused by a German shell. Dudley Town Council has decided to purchase fifty-five acres of land from Lord Dudley at a cost of $70,000 for the purpose of a housing scheme. The matter has been before the Town Council for twenty years. In the East end of London there is a man of over 60 years of age who until recently was a pauper receiving outdoor relief. He has now got work in a munition factory and is earning sometimes as much as $75 in one week. The War Office is about to take over for • home service some of the members of the varidus volunteer corps. The men to be chosen must be under fifty-five and able to give seven successive days' service in each month. Militia Department Figures on 6,000 to Maintain After the War. A despatch front Ottawa says: That at the end of the wax Canada will have 5,000 or 6,000 pensions to pay is the estimate made from the experi- ence of the Militia Department so far. While the uncertainty as to the length of the struggle precludes any very accurate prediction, it is practically certain. that there will be added to the Dominion expenditure a sum of at least $4,000,000 per year for pen- sions for the wives and families of dead soldiers and for disabled men. Up to the present, however, the number of Canadian soldiers 'receiv- ing pensions as a result of the pre- sent war is only 160, and the amount paid out up to July 31 has been $25,- 000. As each application for a pension takes three or four, months between the time the soldier falls or is wound- ed and the date on which the applica- tion is finally passed, it is altogether probable that the $2,000,000 set apart for pensions during the present year will be sufficient. It is estimated that already about 1,000 Canadian men of family have fallen in action, but as stated, only a small proportion of these cases have been dealt with. These cases are first passed on by the Pension and Claims Board of the Militia Department, and then referred to Major W. S. Conger, Canadian Pensions Officer. E UNDER "CONTROL" Excess of Employers' Profits Over Fixed Limit to be Paid Into the Imperial Exchequer LLOYD GEORGE ENLISTS HELP OF SCIENTISTS. A despatch from London says: That he may avail himself of all the A despatch from London says: Da- vid Lloyd -George, Minister of Muni- tions, announces that 345 establish- ments have been declared "controlled establishments" under the Munitions of War Act. As a result of this con- trol the profits of employers are limited. Any excess over such a limit becomes payable to the National Ex- chequer. "By this provision," says tin boxes have not been received, latest discoveries in appliances for while in many cases eatables have the manufacture of munitions of war, been reported received but minus the David Lloyd George, the Munitions Minister, has formed a "munitions tin boxes. It is pointed out that un- doubtedly Germany, which is badly in need of tin has been confiscating boxes of that metal. Those send- ing eatables are asked to use wood or cardboard boxes. Rumors of Getman Peace Overtures Confirmed Mr. Lloyd -George, "Parliament has assured that sacrifices made by work- men are made for the nation as a whole and not for the advantage of individuals. On the other hand, dur- ing the period of the war, any rules or shop customs which may have the effect of limiting the output of muni- tions are suspended in controlled es- tablishments." U. S.

A despatch from Paris says: The Germans have evidently received large reinforcements in Belgium, and attempted to assume the offensive at Nieuport. They were, however, re- pulsed by the French infantry fire, and the attack was abandoned. The German Crown Prince contin- ues his attempts to pierce the French line. He has had a few local suc- cesses, but the losses he has sustained in the series of attacks have been very heavy. The present position at Hill 60, which the British military authorities recently admitted had lapsed back into German possession, is peculiar and of great interest. The hill is really nothing but a knoll of gently rising ground that forms the end of the Klein-Zillebeke ridge. The German trenches run in a double tier along the crest and up- per slope, while the British trenches form an irregular line along the edge of the lower slope. The Germans are at the top of the hill, while the British are a little way up the side of it. The whole face of the hill presents a picture of the wildest confusion. Everywhere are huge craters, the re- sult of mine explosions on the night of the British attack. Torn and gap- ing sandbags are scattered in profu- sion; broken rifles, odds and ends of equipment of all kinds, smashed barb- ed wire, and a mass of other 'debris lie in bewildering variety down the hillside t` DISCOVERS"A SPECIFIC FOR SPINAL MENINGITIS. A despatch from Melbourne says: The discovery of a specific for cere- bro -spinal meningitis has been an- nounced by Dr. Richard Bull, director of the bacteriological laboratory of the University of Melbourne. Dr. Bull stated that eucalyptus would de- stroy the germ. The treatment of cerebro -spinal meningitis has long presented a seri- ous' problem for medical science. Up to a comparatively short time ago it may be said that there was no effec- tive treatment for this disease, known popularly as "spotted fever," or "the black death." The medicinal proper- ties of the oil obtained from leaves of the eucalyptus tree have long been recognized. It has been used in treat- ment of microbic diseases of. lungs and bronchi and employed as an anti- septic. . 12 to 12%c; compound, tubs, 10 to 101/ec; do., pails, 10% to 10%c. Business in Montreal.

In this connection it is recalled that it is generally reported that 100,000 Germans and Austrians and a large number of guns have been concentrated near Osrova with the intention, it is assumed, of cutting their way through Serbia and going to the relief of the Turks. Author of Song of Hate Sorry Ile Wrote It A despatch from Amsterdam says: Even Ernst Lissauer appears to be becoming ashamed of the song of hate.

"The song of hate," he writes, "was writ- ten as the result of a passionate im- pulse in the first week of the war, GERMANS ARE DROWNED IN EFFORT TO ESCAPE A despatch to Christiania says: Twenty-five members of the crew of the German converted cruiser Berlin, interned at Trondhjem last Novem- ber, attempted to escape by swim- ming across the Trondhjem fjord, but they were observed by a guard and caught. All were provided with bun- dles of civilian clothing, money and knives: Several were drowned. Three German citizens have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment for attempting to smuggle copper in- to Germany. The Berlin, which carried a crew of 450 men, entered the Norwegian port' of Trondhjem on Nov. 17, to escape British warships after attempting to escape from the North Sea to act as a commerce raider in the Atlantic p _ j when the impression created by Eng- land's declaration of war was fresh. The song of hate is a political poem directed not against iindividual, Eng- lishmen, but collectively agai t the English will to destruction which threatens Germany.

TROOPS AT GALLIPOLI SHELLED BY SUBMARINE{ A despatch from Mitylene says: After the sluicing of the Turkish hat- tleship Barbarossa the allies' submar- ines also sank a large- gunboat and empty transport in the neighbo*hood of Gallipoli port. After the coast had been' cleared of enemy ships two submarines drew in close to shore and shelled a column of troops' marching toward Gallipoli tine causing them very heavy casualties,.
