Russian General Says Germany Has Much Resistance Left. Discussing the energetic prepara- tions of the Russians for the continu- ance of the war Gen. Chouvaieff, Min- ister of War, in an interview with the. Russky Slovo says: "It is necessary to dispel the illu- sion that the war can end in the au- tumn. The breaking down of the enemy forces has already begun—a fact as well known to the Germans fas to the Entente allies—but German •t"'ttiilique is so high that in spite of her economic weakening and the low- ered morale of her troops Germany still has the power to resist, and we must. look forward to a further struggle Wore the final victory. "This explains the recent orders calling men ordinarily exempt to the colors. Russia already has a large re- -serve, but it is our intention that this reserve shall not diminish."

Indigestion is one of the most dis- tressing maladies afflicting mankind. When the stomach is unable ' to per- form the work nature calls for, the re- sult is severe pains after eating, nau- sea, heartburn, fluttering of the heart, sick headache, and often a loathing for food, though the sufferer is really half starved. People with poordigestion, too, frequently try all sorts •of experi- ments to aid the process of digestion, but there is only one way in which the trouble can actually be cured, that is through the blood. That is why the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cures even the most obstin- ate cases of indigestion. They make rich, red blood that strengthens the stomach and the nerves, thus enabling it to do its work. The process is sim- ple, but the result means good appetite and increased health and pleasure in life. In proof of these statements, Mrs. Albert Hall, Sonya, Ont., says: "I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with wonderful results. For two years I was a great sufferer from indiges- tion, which almost made me a physical wreck. At times my sufferings were so great that I was unable to attend to my household duties. I had smoth- ering spells at times and was afraid to lie down to rest. After every meal, no matter how sparingly I ate, I suf- fered great distress. I tried several doctors but their medicine was of no avail. I saw ]Jr, Williams' Pink Pills advertised to cure this trouble and de- cided to try them. I had not been taking them long when I felt some- what improved. This improvement continued and after taking ten boxes I could eat and digest all kinds of food and felt better than I had done for years. You may be sure I am very grateful for the wonderful relief these pills have given me. I know they are also a cure for anaemic sufferers, as an intimate friend of mine was badly affected with this trouble and after taking several boxes she was entirely cured." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail„post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A WONDERFUL CLOCK. Timepiece Tells Movable Feast Days of the Catholic Church. The clock in Strassburg Cathedral is one of the most wonderful of its kind. It was first made in 1574, and went through various phases till it was remade in 1842, and since that date has been in perfect working or- der. This clock not only tells the time of day, but the month and day of the month, and all the movable feast days of the Catholic Church, says London Tit -Bits. A statue of Apollo points out the day of the month and the name of the saint cor- responding to that day. The clock shows the rising and setting of the moon round the earth, its passages over the meridian, the phases of the moon, and the eclipses of both sun and moon. Allegorical figures in chariots representing the days of the week drive into view, appearing each. day in proper order: On Sunday, Apollo; Monday, Diana; Tuesday, Mars; Wednesday, Jupiter, armed with a thunderbolt; Thursday, Thor; Friday, Venus; and Saturday, Saturn. At a quarter past the hour a child comes forward and strikes a bell once; at half past a youth strikes the bell twice; at a quarter to the hour a middle-aged man strikes it three times; and just before the hour a tot- tering old man strikes the bell four times. Then a figure of death steps forward and solemnly strikes the hour. On the stroke of twelve the twelve Apostles appear, each one bowing as he passes the figure of Christ, who stands tvith hands uplifted in bless- ing; and as the procession passes, a cock which stands on the top of the clock at the left side crows three times in a very life -like manner aand flaps its wings.

Via°tort ; : , Sir Rider Haggard, the British novelist, photographed just before his departure from New York for London on the steamship St. Louis the other day. The English writer said: "Even be- fore the war there were 'superfluous women in England to the number of over one and one-half millions. Now there are millions more, and these, at the Government's request, have gone into industry to take the places of the men at the front. These women are there to stay, for there will not be sufficient men to marry them." BAGDAD OF THE CALIPHS. Now a City of Crumbling Mosques and Dilapidated Palaces. One of the picturesque contrasts of- fered by the war, writes Mr. H. M. .Allen, is that of the khaki -clad Brit- ish soldiers contending with Germans and Turks amid the ruins of Mesopo- tamia. Across the very plains where once swept the war chariots of the Chaldeans are now moving the armed motors of Germany and England. In the rivers where the Babylonian and Persian barges once plied, the shal- low -draft gunboats that fly the Union Jack now manoeuvre. British aero- planes have already been seen fly- ing across the skies that looked down upon Harun-al-Rashid, and a German Zeppelin may be reported to -morrow hovering over the bazaars where the Commander of the Faithful delighted to wander. The visitor to Bagdad recalls that it was the capital of a domain reaching from Spain into Africa and from Africa to India, and he knows that Harun-al-Rashid was once its ruler. These facts have been inscribed on the tablets of memory through the me- dium of "Amine," "Ali Baba," "Sind - bad the Sailor," and other delightful "Arabian Nights" tales. But the Bagdad of to -day, although the Turk= ish documents still call it "the glori- ous city," has naught but crumbling mosques, dilapidated palaces and neg- lected tombs to bear testimony to the splendor of the past. It was A1 -Mansur, the second caliph of the Abbasside dynasty, who remov- ed the capital of Islam hither from Damascus. When he first saw the spot he was enchanted with it, al- though there was then only a single habitation upon it—the cell of the venerable hermit Dad. The latter, ignorant who his distinguished visitor was, not only entered into conversa- tion with him, but predicted that one Moslos was destined to found a city where they were standing. "I am that man!" exclaimed the caliph, and .he went on to inform the hermit that in his boyhood he had stolen a bracelet, and his nurse had ever after called him "Molds," the name of a thief then well known. The old reclusea must have made aconsider- able nsi er- able impression on the mind of Al Mansur, for the town was eventually named for him. "Bag" signifies a garden in the Persian, tongue, and the whole word means "The garden of Dad." This caliph, by the way, was per- haps the richest man of his time, for he possessed some $150,000,000. He did not, however, invest his wealth in Bagdad real estate, for he and Ms sons left it a small town, confined to the western bank of the Tigris. More- over, they economized In building ins• teriale, for they used fragments plune tiered from the ancient Persian city Ctesiplton, its near neighbor Seleucia, and, frontncient Babylon.

Underground rumblings in Germany havegi ro wn in intensity, like the Brit- ish artillery fire, within the past few weeks. The real import is conveyed by the only man in Germany still out of gaol who has the courage and the opportunity to speak the truth, In a late number of his Govern- ment -defying weekly review, Zukunft, Herr Maximilian Harden has a re- markable article entitled "Those Un- derground. It is a straight -from -the - shoulder attack on the Government and the War Party's fear to unmuzzle nubile opinion. Written on the eve of the Socialist Liebknecht's sentence and the suppression of the Liberal - Radical Berliner Tageblatt for merely demanding afresh the right to discuss "our war aims," Harden's article is proof that the crusade to face the pre- sent facts about the war—Germany's hopeless fight for peace on her terms —is a strong and growing movement. Without at all exaggerating its im- portance it is undoubtedly a manifest- ation of no little promise and encour- agement. The significance of the crusade for the truth lies in the identity of the crusaders. They include: 1. The working classes, who realize the utter impoverishment which pro- longation of the war means for indus- trial Germany. 2. The moneyed, commercial and fi- nancial classes, shippers, :merchants, manufacturers, and bankers, for whom the Berliner Tageblatt and Harden have always ben recognized as spokes- men. The latter—the Ballins, Gwinners, Rathenaus, Riessers, Thyssens, Kir- dorfs, Furstenbergs, Stinnes's and the other captains of industry and finance —know perfectly well that time is fighting on the allies' side. Their own interlocking associations with the Government make it impossible for them to speak out. So they use Hard- en for their purpose. When Harden declares that if the. German people's real sentiments could be expressed the i end of the war would be in sight he is talking not for himself but for Ger- many's gagged and muzzled men of affairs. The Government's attitude toward the demands of these classes is that public discussion of the war would "injure us abroad" and "under- mine domestic unity." This is the crusaders' reply, made in their name by Harden: "It is not what Schmidt or Schultz thinks about the conduct and object of the war which damages us abroad. What hurts our prestige is the figure we have cut for nearly two years now of a flock of docile sheep driven be- fore a merciless shepherd. Our ene- mies are listening to the right and the left, but can nowhere hear what the will. of the German people is. If they could, we would be near to the peace which is to -day possibier and which only a miracle can improve." PRAISE FOR CANADIANS. British Stair Officer Says They Have Done Wonderful Work. Lord Tennyson, writing in the Lon don Times, encloses a letter of an English staff officer in France: "The Canadians have done won-, derfully well, and we are proud of fighting with them,' he says. "The 1 way they fought to recover the lost) trenches was a lesson to everyone., We shall never forget it. They are the most hospitable and self-denying lot, and they will share the last crust or drop of water with any of us who need it. We have the greatest ad- miration for them after the recent fighting."

Dublin Castle has a history of over seven centuries, says Tho London Chronicle. It was King John who, in 1204, ordered it to be built, "well for- tified, with good fosses and thick walls, strong enough to defend or con- trol the city." Henry III., when about to visit Ireland in 1243, ordered the addition of a hall "with sufficient windows and glass casements," and other improvements were made in suc- ceeding reigns, particularly by the. Duke of Clarence, son of Edward III., who as viceroy spent much money on the castle to make it convenient (as his father complained when call- ed upon to pay) "for his sports and other pleasures."

Delusion, if not disappointment, lurks in the phrase "big drive," as ap- plied to the offensive movement of the allies, on the western front. The over-enthueiastie have visions of a vast army of millions sweeping north and east and driving the :Germans be- fore them. The thing, unfortunately, is impossible. It was as nearly realized as it probe ably ever will be in thio war at the battle of the Marne, hut that was be- fore the .ere of trench warfare. North- ern France and Belgium behind the German lines is now a vast area of prepared defenses and military trenches, A comparatively few men can hold entrenched positions against vastly superior numbers of infantry. No army in modern warfare can advlance much beyond the range of its heavy guns, nor any faster than they can be brought up to prepare the way. Those who conceive of the so-called "big push" as one great continuous movement along the whole front cher- ish an uninformed conception of the true situation. The big drive now tak- ing place is the composite result of many smaller drives. The main sig- nificance of this movement lies in the fact that these small pushes are a part of a co-ordinated plan, including the Italian, Russian and Balkan fronts with the western. The British drive between Arras and the Somme is. not the hurling of an army of over 2,- 000,000 men against the German lines as interpreted by some of the headline writers in the papers. This vast army will not be hurled en masse. So far 9 as developed, it is primarily a powerful, localized attack intended to relieve pressure at Verdun. At least, that appears to be its object, but also to realize such strategic gains as will. lead to further successful offensive movements after adequate preparation for them. In choosing the sector south of Ar- ras for the attack, the British greatly surprised their foe. The sector north of Arras has been the favorite fighting ground because the positions held by the British are within close reach of important strate- gic points in the German front. Vimy- Ridge commands the plains that sur. round Douai and Lens. The capture of these cities would seriously menace Lille, and the fall of Lille would de- moralize the military organization of the Germans along the Artois front. But by striking south of Arras the strongly defended region north of it may be weakened, and the way pre- pared for a second blow that will prove more effective than those hither- to dealt on the sector from Arras to La Ba'ssee. The significant thing is that the in- itiative on all the fronts is_now with. the Allies—and this for the first time since the war began. It looks as though the first sen- tence in the first paragraph of the last chapter is being written, and the doom of the Hun is sealed. Let us hope that the end is near. THE SELKIRK TUNNEL. Will Cost the C. P. R. $12,000,000 at the Least. The Selkirk tunnel will be through in the fall, according to the C.P.R. of- ficials. This is another of the notable things to which the company has put its hand --a tunnel six miles through a mountain whose peaks pierce the clouds—a tunnel which presented en- gineering difficulties almost unique. This work will give the public an alternative route through the moun- tains; it will save six miles of snow sheds; it will eliminate danger, and it will minister to the comfort and convenience of the public. The cost will be $12,000,000 or more. That is about the only big work the C.P.R. has been engaged in lately, but it is in- teresting to recall that in the years before the war the company used to spend between $25,000,000 and $36,- 000,000 per annum in the development of the West. If, as a high official of the C.P.R. remarked, the C.P.R. took a dollar out of the West, it put that dollar back again in some form or other. It would hardly be believed,. but the C.P.R., since its inception, has spent over $200,000,000 in the.develop- ment of the West. EFFORT.
