The question evould seem unnecessary, for Jesus was alone, apparently friendletss and a prisoner, and did not present the ale- pearatice of an earthly king.

There is no place in which those Who are ill can be cared for immediately; since all the villages in this eiyinity hale been destroyed, and the nearest hospitals, which are in Ghent and Bruges, already are ovexerowded.

GERMANS HOLD DIXMUDE. There is no official conrirmation of the reports that Dixmittle has been recaptured by the allies, and the cor- respoudent of Me Times at Dunkirk, teleomaphing under date or Nov, 13, says the town is still in the hands of the Germans. There is little Iike- lihooa, bowever, that: they will make any further progress, as every at- tempt which they have made to pusb forward from Metalline has been re- puleed with severe loss, The German advance guard which 'holds the town is tu a precarious position, The eorrespondent adds that the bombardment of Ypres has ceased and the fighting line is now rix miles from that town. A despatch to the Tinies drcm a correspondent in North France, dat- ed Nov. 14, says: "Another week has passed without pronounced modifica- tion of the battle line. The enemy has thaintadued an almost incessant of- fensive, but has nowhere succeeded in breaking the allies' .defences." SUFFERING. OF TROOPS, The Rotterdam Courant says the pereistent rain and cold weather are causing a serious amount of illness in the ranks of the German army. The sufferings of toe men in the treuch- es have been almost unbearable. It has been found necessary te relieve the guard frequently. Many •cases of limanity among the men are reported. The Germans yesterday, with a view raising the spirits of the garrisons 01' Ghent aud Brugett, have circulated the report that Om Germans have ea pelted Cala Is. The condition of the opposing *a- ntics oil the extreme left is elescrthed by an officee at the front, who has returned to Paris, by comparing it to that or "two dogs who have fought till neither can move." Even more damaging in its effect on the men is the less of sleep, which bait -contin- ued until their condition is eine Of extreme exhaustion.

At the pres. ent time, 'although the eXaCt number Of men employed in the western the- atre of war is net known, it is esti- mated, that the allies shave approxi- mately 2,000,000 men in the field, and the Germane perhaps -a few mere.

He says it is a curious army. Of the Infantry he says it is exceedingly brave. He, holds a -different opinion of the cavalry, for he says: Their cavalry is beneath contempt, and only faces women and children. As soon as a patrol sights one of our patrols, even if they outnumber them by three to one, the Uhlan patrol turns tail and gallops for dear life, and by now they have acquired such distaste for being skewered from behind that they simply don't appear at all, and one would think they had no cavalry. • He has a very different opinion of the German artillery.. We will quote his words; Their artillery Is magitificent. They have a good gun (field). Luta are al- ways very skilfully handled. They always come into action from behind cover, mid are very diffieult to lo- cate, and they are extraordinarily good at minding the line and the range, 1 d should say they work greatly by the - nom Their heavy artillery. firing j & pos the meat terrif gee, and Imo a meet devastating effect, but la, et feouree, very local.

THE MARINES AT ANTWERP. A Belgian officer now in Loudon who hopes in a day or two to rejetn his regiment in France, pays a re- markable tribute to the British Mar- ines. "Iwas in 'close touch with them," he told e, Central News representa- tive. "They were very, youthful, but they are all fighters, and each man. wad ready to take his cemrade's place as men were forced to fell back wounded In order to drag wounded men back, some of them threw aside their rifles and bandoliers. Some of them crawled a mile or more with their wounded fellows, only to find that the limp form they had rescued was a legless or arndess or -as I know in one case -a headless corpse. Your inarines are brave, and every one of them seems to think that he is his brother's keeper.
