YEWS!!
Not England, Call it Britain
Ilere is a poem that will find re-
sponse in many Scotch, Irish and
Welsh hearts, which are as truly
tish as their English brothers with
whom they are fighting shoulder to
shoulder in the trenches to -day ha the
world's struggle for freedom ;
Say not England -call it Britain, hon-
or give where honor's due.
Look to Scotland, Wales and Ireland
fighting in the trenches, too.
Look ye north beyond the Cheviots,
Nebel e the thistles proudly grow,
To the sons who are as rugged as their
mountain, toppee with snow.
Land of ancient fame and glory where
disgrace can lay no stain,
See .Auld Scotia's glorious manhood
preeeeving yet Britannia:8 name -
See them in the fields of Flanders re-
peat great deeds done in the past,
With the sons of Wales or Erin, side
by side, they're sticking fast.
Say not England -3a11 it Britain -
look across at Erin's IIs;
See the stalwart sons now rally to the
British rank and file.
From the lakes of clear Killarney to
the north of Donegal,
East and west have Ireland's bravest
answered to Britannia's call.
Ireland's precious blood is ebbing mix-
ed with Scotland's in the flow;
It is British hearts that shed it to re-
pel Britannia's foe,
Freedom's sword they both are weild-
ing for their home and kindred
dear;
They are Britain's peerless bulwarks,
true though death be e'er so near,
Say not England -call it Britain on
your border in the west;
Gallant Wales sends forth to battle
fighting manhood of the best.
Men of Harlech and Lleweleyn, fear-
less sons of past renown,
Strong, united, they are fighting,
'neath the fltg that won't come
down.
From the mines into the trenches, res-
olute ana firm as steel; •
Welshmen all will do their duty,
thoughtless of the wounds they
feel;
With their comrades from the North-
land, from across St. George's tide,
And their neighbors on the border,
four in one shall they abide.
Give us now our rightful ceiling, let
the name in gold be read
To the children of the fathers, who in
Britains ranks have bled;
Let the universe proclahn it, Britain
now and evermore.
Say not England -Call it Britain -
England just means one of four.
IN NEW QUARTERS. -
Canadian Record Office In London
Has a Huge Task.
The ever increasing Canadian
army at the front is responsible for
wonderful expansion of the Pay and
Records Office In London, which
from its inception has been in charge
of Col. W. R. Ward, of Ottawa, Orig-
inally the office was opened at N,o.
36 Victoria street (almost opposite
the High Commissioner's Office),
then it branched into the adjoining
building. The different departments
were separated from each other, and
both as regards space and conveni-
ence this arrangement became un-
workable. Col. Ward then secured
the fifth floor of a new building
known as Millbank House, in West-
minster, near the House of Lords.
The, was an improvement inasmuch
as the various branches were all on
the same level. Now, however, more
room has been necessary, and an-
other floor has been taken.
The recent heavy casualties have
caused the office to be simply inun-
dated with enquiries by cable, tele-
gram, letter, and in person. On the
top floor just opened there is a spe-
cieenquiry department under Capt.
Houston, where many an anxious
visitor gets news of relatives at the
front.
In the inner room there is a corps
of men going through official lists
from the War Office compiled from
hospital returns. From these
Canadian names are extracted,
though in other cases the informa-
tion reaches the pay office direct.
A very active section is the Pay
Office, where on an average pay-
ments are made out to about 300
men per day, sometimes by mailed
cheque, but more often in cash. Then
there is the work of handing over
assigned payments to wives and
other dependents.
The office also holds the men who
keep the records of each battalion.
When the first contingent was on
Salisbury Plain these men were with
their respective battalions, but could
not accompany them to the front.
Most of the employes in the Records
Office are wearing uniform, and the
few who are not are past military
age. A number of women and girls
are employed as typiste and copyists.
Some of the men now there were
limping, or shoed other eigns of
having been incapaeitated, and their
faces were familiar as having been
seen either at the Queen's Hospital,
Shorncliffe, or at the Duchess of
Connaught Hospital, Cliveden. The
policy followed is to, ea far as pos-
sible, release able-bodied men and
use the crippled ones.
A letter appeared in a London
paper recently complaining that the
writer Irad sought information about
his son at the Record Office, that
they could not give hlm any,but
that he received a letter posted at
the request ot Ids son, who was in a
French Hospital, The writer ellg-
gested that nurses should be eme
powered to despatch a eard for eaeh
patient. Col. Ward poinied out that
the fact that this father Wetes fortun-
ate enough to reeeive direet news of
his son in no way reflected upon the
methods of the Record Office. It was
very often owing to laxity on the
part of the heads of email, isolated
hospitals in regard to sending in re-
turns that the Record Office was not
In tt position to give news, rurther,

meant greater accuracy, also involv-
ed a little more time. As to the sug-
gestion that nurses should send out
cards, that would cast a still greater
burden on women who were already

entirely from her mother's attic.
She reserrected the bed shown here

Then the dressing table was made of

Battleships' Bible Naines.
The custom of giving, Bible names
to men-of-war at one time prevailed
extensively in the 13r1tish navy, To-
day we believe there only one
vessel, the battleship Goliath, which
has a Biblical appellation. The
name g are chiefly pagan like Her-
cules, or ledjectival like Audacious.
In the seventeenth century, how-
ever, the British naval fleet included
vessels named Abraham, Benjamin,
Ephraim, John the Baptist, Jona-
than, King David, Ruth, and Solo-
mon. In Nelson's time there was
both an Adam and Eve and an Eden,
but by then the use of Biblical
names for engines of destruction be-
gan to be out of favor. At a still
earlier date the practice was very
much more common, One warshiP,
commiegioned in the time of Henry
VIII., bore the name of Christ, and
among the fighting fleet of Henry
We time were ships named Jesus,

we are less pious than our fathers,

eVhite For Mourning,
A suggestion has been made from
Montreal to the Minister of Militia
that the mourning emblem worn by
relatives of Canadians who have
given up their lives at the front for
the flag and for what the flag stands
for, should be white instead of
black. General Hughes is In sym-
pathy with the idea. War with its
toll of death is sombre enough in
any case, and the Minister of Militia
agrees with the Montreal suggestion
that a white instead of a black
crepe band would more appropriate-
ly express the feelingof those who
mourn for those who died with hon-
or in the defence of all that BrUish
citizenship holds meet. Oer..--

the arrival at the Island.
"Our boat touched the shore and
we leaped out on the sand and en-
tered the hangar. The next stage
in the flying was reached — the
awakening of George, the mechanic,
who slept keeping watch near the
flying boat. A few handfuls of sand
with sundry odd ends of rope thrown
over the wooden partition brought
quick shouts from the interior and
told that the aim had been true, and
In a moment George, thus uncere-
moniously awakened, emerged and
set tee engine ageing. This was an
operation that required patience till
the engine was warmed up, There
was pity for George, who had to

lake, slowly at first, tben faster and
faster se the chug, cbug of the en-
gine increased in intensity. Sixty
miles an hour is the speed the boat
is capable of on water and about 65
miles in the air. All gaze after it.
'Thirty,' ceies Peberdy, as the boat
travels faster; '40,"now he's in his
swing.' Look at her tail rising.'
'She's on the surface of the water.'
'There, she's in the air now.' She's
goi..e up by bounde."My, that's the
highest flight yet.' He must be 300
fee* up.' Compare them with the
C.P.R. building.' Then the flying
boat swerved round for home, de-
scending gently to the water. In-
structer Pierce broeght her level a
few feet above its surface and see
dropped down with a slight splash.
A moment mere and, Lieut. Smitb
stepped ashore, Hp had been away
only six minutes, but 'that was the
greatest sport,' he said, 'How did
you like it going up?' he was asked.
The Lieutenant admitted it scared
him a bit, It felt like someone pour-
ing cold water down his spine,
So the morning's round went on,
each student in turn heving about
ten minutes training. They will
have had 400 minetes each in all
when their eourse is complete, and
this will cost them a dollar a minute.
The finishing touchee will be given
in a biplane at Long Branch, Then
e students will be ready to pass
the tests that will admit them to the
British naval flying service,
A secofici flying boat is coming
from the Curtiss works, and train-
ing will be expedited. The Curtiss
flying boat is shaped like a whale,
fiat of bottom at the bow, and taper -
In e back to the • redder. The 100
horse -power engines are hung above
the body of the boat op iron stays,
and below are tbe seats of the air-
man and the observer, with the
boat's wings on either side. In fly-
ing maehinee the screw can be fora
or aft, • In the case of the Curtiss
boat, the screw ie behind the engine,
so that the boat is pushed forward,
not pulled.
The ppeeing of flying elpses in
Tomei.° i ai pyent in the history
of Canada. It is certain that after
tb war Canada will have a military
flying squadron of its own. The
negotiations which have resulted in
the Governments ef both Britain and
Canada becoming intereeled in the
matter date from last September,
and in bringing them to a trium-
phant Isshe a notable part has been
played by Mr. J. A. McCurdy.
Coincident with the starting of a
flying school is the establishing of a
new Canadian industrY in Torontq
the making of eereplanes. A gems
pany, associated with the Curtiss
Company of America, has already
some 25 men at work in a roomy
workshop on Strachau avenue. The
Industry is only in its swaddling
clothes, but at the present time—it
cat be no military secret to say so—
aeroplhne parts are being built for
the Imperial Government.
The students are invited to ask
questions on all points of aeroplane
handling, and the more questions
they ask the better pleased are the
instructors. The airmen are happy
in their chosen vocatioe and pager
to fit themselves for ftp day whee
they will he felly equippee members

Geo. I), McKay Wius Suit,
A case uf considerable interest which
came up at the June cession a the
county court of Bruce in Walkerton
last week was that of McKay ve. Mc-
Farlane. It will be remembered that
Jannary last Mr. McFarlane who
had been Registrar for some time'
dismissed Mr. McKay front his service
for which action be was so criticized
Ip the local papers that they now have
libel suits pending. Mr, McKay co
sidered tbat his dismissal was unfer
end hearing that Mr, McFarlane vs
circulating stories that were detrirne
tal to his eba.racter, he entered sui
There weremany witnesses on t
plaintiff side and all told about t
same story, that Mr, McFarlane h
accused his deputy of taking mone
that did not belong to him, both b
mitring his salary without his ccnee
and otherwise, to the amount of abo
$200,
The evidence of the plaintiffs wi
neisee showed that the defenda.nt
statements had been detrimeatal t
Mr. McKay's good name and as o
witness put it, inferred that be w
not a trustworthy servant. Whe
this side of the case was heard, whic
was well on in the afternoon, M
Klein stated that there was amp
evidence to send the case to the jar
McFarlane the defendant then entere
the witness box. He proved a ver
unwilling witness and claimed to hay
made the statements which he did o
the strength of the teport of M
Sornerhayes whom be rought frori
Toronto to audit the books, At th
conclusion of Mr. MeFarlane's evidenc
the court adjourned until 0.30 Wedne
day morning. When the court w
reopened, Mr. Somerhayes wa3 place
in the stand. He being the man wh
was brought from Toronto to poin
out errors and deficiencies in Mr. M
Kay's work and as it was on his repor
that the charges were made by M
McFarlane, he was an important wit
nese. By his books and report, he a
tempted to show and explain to th
court where these mistakes were an
where Mr. McKay, as was alleged, ha
taken money which did not rightfull
belong to him. His evidence, however
was picked to pieces by Mr. Robertso
for the plaintiff, and when Mr. McKa
tsok the stand, he explained to th
court where he had paid out mone
for copying and other work which ha
been done, but which in the auditor'
report bal not appeared, and also e
plained where this money which h
is alleged to have mieappropriated ha
been paid out,
Mies Ross, an employee of the Reg
Wry office corroborated Mr. McKay
evidence on some important points,
This concluded the case and the tw
-counsels addressed the jary at grea
length. The judge's address which
followed was a raasterly summing u
of the entire case in whieh His Wo
ship spoke very favorably for th
plaintiff.
The jury retired at 0 o'clock and a
7.15 returned a verdict for Mr. McKay
awarding him $50 damages. Who i
to pay the costs has not yet been a
mugs&
At the opening of the court thi
morning, the hearing of the ethe
suits between Mr. MeKay and M
McFarlane was postponed until th
fall owing to the illness of a witness.
