Privileged to Wear Four Rows of Ermine Fur on Robes. No one has displayed more un - wearying zeal in the recruiting move- n- merit in Great Britain than Lord le Derby -politician, soldier, and sports- a- man. Borne time ago he made the frank confession"' to a number of schoolboys that he started life with two ambitions, namely, to be Prime Minister and to win the Derby, and has not yet done trying for either of his ambitions. And, bearing in mind Lord Derby's keen love of the turf, his success as Postmaster -General, and the work he did in other adminis- trative- offices in the last Unionist Government, there seems no reason why he should not in due course rea- lize these ambitions. As Lord Stanley hewas a popular figure in the Lower House, and his sporting qualities and love of horses added not a little to that popularity. Apropos of his sporting tastes an amusing story is told of an incident which occurred when he was first elected to Parliament. Lord Derby had invited questions at one of his meetings and a voice salled out, "Can you give us a tip for to -morrow's race?" Lord Stanley did not hesitate a minute. "Yes," he said; "I am back- ing such and such a horse," and he gave the name. The horse won and Lord Stanley was returned at the head of the poll. Very Wealthy. It will be remembered in 1910 that Lord 'Derby took over the ownership of the King's horses for a season. His father, the late earl, was also a keen sportsman, but at the same time he had a strong dislike to betting, and always objected to gambling be- ing so closely involved in horse rac- ing. Knowsley Hall, in Lancashire, the magnificent ancestral home of the Stanleys, has long been a strong e During the year that has passed, that question has found many an- swers. The trained nurse quickly proved her value. Other women were called upon to organize and direct Red Cross and St. John Ambulance work or Patriotic Societies, while all gave time or money or personal service in preparing supplies. To comparatively few came the need for the supreme sacrifice -the sending forth of husband, son or bro- ther to the fight. The first appeal for volunteers was limited and did not ap- pear very urgent. All honor to those who heard and obeyed the earliest call of Empire and whose women sent them forth with pride to fight in the front rank of the Canadian forces. Toglay the situation has changed. We have learnt, after a year of war, that our task is harder, our danger • more real, than we thought a year ago. We have "given" gladly: now we are called to "give -up," and ser- vice must fulfil itself in sacrifice. Most urgent of all to -day is the call to give up ungrudgingly our hus- bands, sons and brothers. We are called to create in our homes such an atmosphere of self -devotion that our men and boys may feel their resolu- tion to offer themselves in their coun- try's service is simply what we expect of them. This does not mean that women should be constantly urging their men to enlist, for it is doubtful if the pa- triotic persistence of a wife or mother would produce anything but a reluc- tant and resentful recruit. The men of Canada have not shown themselves less patriotic than their women; but it is for us, the women of Canada, to ask ourselves whether our self-sacri- fice is falling shore of the supreme test. Are we making it hard or easy for our 'men to obey their country's call to seriice? Why is the call so urgent now? The answer is simple: It is because our existence as an Empire is at stake. We went into the war to keep our solemn pledges to our Allies; and this reason still holds good. But there are now other reasons which did not exist a year ago. Bel- gium with her ravaged land and ex- iled people cries aloud for justice. What do Canadian women say to the appeals of her outraged women and mutilated children? They have suf.: fered for us: yhat are we willing to sufeer.for. -them? The women of France and Russia and the United Kingdom have long ago heard the appeal to give up their men'and have responded. nobly.

Certainly the legend seems to have brought good luck to the Stanleys. The Earl of Derby, by the way, is one of the three "Catsleina earls, the others being Lord Shrewsbury and Lord Huntingdon. The explanation of the word "catskinee is that the ances- tors of these three earls were privi- leged to wear fourrows of ermine fur on their robes because of their an- cient descent, and that "cmatre skins" (four skins). became changed to "cat - skins."

A lieutenant, who served with General Botha's force in the cam- paign in German South-West Africa has written an interesting story of his experiences. In the course of his letter he describes the night marches and proceeds: - "After a few hours we descended into a river bed, where we were met by a single horseman, who kept re- • peating, 'Keep well into the bank - mines' (a mule was blown up there next day, and I hear since there were a whole lot there). After crossing a few stone bridges, we came to we- ather single horseman, who kept re- peating, 'Keep in single file; don't stray out; more mines.' We then be- gan to ascend a range of low moun- tains or high hills -the most awful place I ever saw. The moon was aearly at the full, which made the ef- fect all the more ghastly. Did you ever look at the mountains in the moon under a powerful telescope? A cold, glittering deathliness -not a sign of vegetation or life in any form. Just as if a hot blast had passed over it or as one man de- scribed it, 'Hell, with the fires put out.'" Galloped On and One "On the other side of these moun- tains we struck an awful streak of soft, floury sand, and, as bad luck would have it, the order was given to quicken pace, which meant a hand gallop. This was the worst we had yet met". In rounding up a patrol of Ger- mans the writer gives his experi- ence: "The fatigue became awful. I be- gan to get light-headed. The sky seemed to become a straight wall in front of us, and, the effect of the moonlight through the dust made me imagine I saw great palaces and churches, with the stars as little windows. Then I would 'pull myself together and look at the men riding in front, and they would turn into funny old giantesses dancing in the moonlight. (1 learned afterwards that everyone suffered from these hallueinations). There was no check now; we galloped on and on --mile after mile -over stones, drooping branches, just leaving it to the horse. Those splendid horses! They were far saner than we were, and seemed to know there was something ahead. Fusillade of Fire. "Just as early dawn broke we reached the top of a ridge . . . All at once there was a regular fusillade of rifle fire and hand machine-gun fire. I had no idea, they were firing at us, as I was too finished to think or care for anything but sleep. My horse started to pull (I heard afterwards that a bullet hit just in front of his foot and another over his back and behind mine). The next thing I re- member WAS being in the river bed with all the others. I don't know how they didn't bit us, as there were sev- eral very close shaves. B Squadron, who followed us just behind, 'caught it,' losing four killed and one wound- ed. The whole little scrap lasted over half an hour, but I don't remember much else except seeing H.
