Lord Roberts' Stirring Address to

Belgium, ie o, has its Lori Kiteben-
cr. Ile is General Baron Wallis, a
warrior whet attained itis fame in the

fore the r r. sent war—the subsection
of the ne„re tribes in the Belgian

der of the ;..1 iy of the lithe kingdom,

in London when thirteen hundred

eight hours had responded to the call
of the Lord Mayor for recruits to
Make op a new battalion of the City
of London Regiment (the • Royal
Fusiliers), marched through the main
streets to be sworn in at the Tower
of London. Headed by the band of
the Scots Ceards, they made a splen-
did shove, though still in mufti, and
the processio:i swelled to thousands
en route. it was a great recruiting
effort,
First of a'1, they paraded in the
grounds of the Temple, presenting a
magnificent spectacle of British man-
hood. There they were addressed by
Earl Roberts, hero cf many a battle-
Aeid.
After inspecting the men and speak-
ing to several who wore the Souter
African medal, Lord Roberts said:
"I am proud to be the first to welcome
you as brother soldiers, and to con-
' gratulate you on the splendid exam
pie you are setting to your fellow
countrymen, coming forward to take
your places in the ranks as private
soldiers, not seeking, as the vast
majority of men in your station of
life are seeking to be, given commis-
sions as officers. We require hundreds
of thousands of soldiers, and of these
only a mirirlum number can be ofil-
eers. Moreover, it is absolutely es-
sential that officers should be suf-
ficiently trained and disciplined to
warrant their being entrusted to nom -
Mand and lead soldiers in war.
"You are the pick of the nation,
highly educated business men of
various professions, and you are do-
ing exactly what all able-bodied men
in the kingdom should do, no matter
what their rank or what their station
in life may be,
"I respect and honer you more than
I can say, My feeling towards you
is one of intense admiration. How
very different is your action to that
of the men who can still go on with
their cricket and football as it the
very existence of the country were
not at stake.
"This is not the tame to play games,
wholesome as they are in days of pip-
ing peace. We are engaged in a life -
and -death etrug le, and you are show-
ing your determination to do your
duty as soldiers, and, by all means
in your power, to bring this war --a
war forced upon us by an ambitious
and unscrupulous nation—to a suc-
cessful result. Gcd bless and wateb
over you all."

13rItis:i Always Ready
The whole Slav world will hail
with exultation the decision of Nicho-
las II, that the capital of Russia shall
henceforth bear a purely Russian
name. To them and to all who know
them, the significance of this act is
immense, It marks a deliberate
breach with an old and bad tradition
which has brought many evils on
their race. In spite of occasional.
quarrels, the Court and the bereave
cracy of Petrograd have been largely
under the influence of the Court and
bureaucracy of Berlin, since Russia
first became a Great Power in Europe.
Each found its account in this re-
lationship. The reactionaries on the
Neva could safely appeal to the re-
actionaries orn the Spree for counten-
ance in the most harsh and oppres-
sive features of their internal pallcv, ' not been at all commensurate with

from eight to nine inches in calibre,
and on impact they send up columns
of greasy, black smoke. Owing to
this they are irreverently dubbed `coal

sons,' by the soldiers.
"Men who take things in this spirit
are, it seems, likely to throw out the
'calculations based on the loss of mor-
ale so carefully framed by, the Ger-
man military philosophers.
The report mentioned that from in-
formation given by prisoners, and
from diaries taken from dead and
wounded officers, the German forces
are keenly disappointed at their fail-
ure to roach Paris and their unavail-
ing efforts to overc-pme the British,

ARMY HORSES MUST SWIM
M. Georges Scott, a well known
artist, . who is a Frenchman in spite
of his name, is charged with an im-
portant mission by the Wrench Minis-
try of War, which is intended to make
the French troops at the front sure
as to who are their enemies and who
their friends.
M. Scott is an expert in military
uniforms. He was commissioned to
prepare a series of colored designs
showing the uniforms of all the troops
against whom and with whom the
French soldiers have to fight. Ger-
man and Austrian ljhlans, I3eigian in-
fantry and cavalry are all shown with
the exact colorings of uniforms in
war. The colored tlteets are distri-
buted to the French soldiers. One
side of the sheet is headed "Friends,"
the other "Enemies."
The object is to prevent the French
soldiers front firing on their own
friends. In the War of 1870 there
were a number of melancholy oeca-
bions on which friendly regiments en•
gaged each other owing to a laces of
familiarity with each other's uniforms,

An army on the march may at any
time encounter a river which it is
necessary to cross, and, in the case of
a cavalry raid or reconnaissance,
there may be no time to find a bridge.
Consequently, all army horses are
taught to swim. Those of the British
army get their tuition at Aldershot,
Where there aro a nun.be.r of large
ponds, called "hashes." These ponds
are usually shallow at the edges, and
Have bottoms of firm sand. -
Swimming lessons are carried o.;t
under the eye of the veterinary officer
or of the riding master of the regi-
ment, and only experienced men,
such as the rough -riding staff, are
permitted to be in the saddle.
Every ca"e is taken not to frighten
the animal; for a horse, being natur-
ally timid, will never get over the
scare if forced roughly into deep
water,
The riders are dressed in old suits
of fatigue clothes, which will not
suffer from a wetting, and on the first
day the horses aro simply walked
into the shallow edge of the pond, no
deeper than enough to cover their
fetlocks.
Of course, there is a lot of ,snori.-
lng and shying, but by dint cf coaxing
this is soon overea .re.
Next day saddles are taken off, and
the horses aro persuaded to go a
tittle deeper—perhaps up to the' belly.
bay by day they are induced to go a
little further in, and by the fourth or
fifth day most start swimming quite
naturally.
At first their riders swim beside
them, in order to give them con-
fidence. It is a risky business for a
man to swim beside a horse until he
is thbroughly accustomed to so doing.
If he swims too close he may get a
dangerous blow frcm the an' -mat's
hoofs.
As soon as an army Horse swims
easily he is next taught to swim
beside a boat. Light, collapsible boats
are used, and as many as five or six
horses can be taken° across a river
behind or alongside each boat.
The last lessen ,is to swim with a
rider on his back. A horse naturally
ltwinis rather low in the Water, and
with the weight of of a man on hint,
the animal has only his Bead above
the surface.
When a sentry cries "Battu Wha
goes there?" the correct reply is

RUSSIA CONTINUES TO GAIN
Austrians Completely Defeated
Czar's Troop& and Kaiser's Meet
44.144.4.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
"The right wing of the Austrians
has been driven hack beyond the
Carpathians into Hungary, where
they are being pursued by Russians.
"The Austrian debacle is complete
and they have lost all their artillery.
The Austrian left wing has retreated
to Cracow. The Russians have oc-
cupied another of the forts of Prze
mysi which is now entirely invested.'
"Germany is reinforcing her army
in East Prussia at the rate of one
army corps per day," says a despateh
from Petrograd. "These reinforce-
ments are being carried by 260 trans
an all four available railroads,
"All this is in preparation for the
great and decisive battle soon to be
fought' along the whole western line.
"At least 800,000 German troops are
now gathered in an effort to balance
the Austrian failures. The armies are
already is touch, and the grand battle
is bound to come soon. The Russians
will have the' advantage, however, be-
cause the fighting will be on ground
chosen by the Russian leaders."

collected of the misuse of the white
flag," the report declared. "During
an action owing to this, one officer
+was shot. During recent fighting also,
some German ambulance wagons ad•
