"Hold the Fort''does not ap-
pear to be the national hymn of

With the close of summer it is
reasonable to expect nice warm
weather at last.
The Roblin Government left its
footprints in Manitoba, and i t
feet were dirty too.
The Kaiser has not yet found
that "place in the sun", and Ras -

seek it.
China is buying one hundred
submarines from the United States.
These, of course, cannot be used in
the laundry business.
Of one thing there can be no
doubt. Germany would win this

Sir John Hendrie declares that
all fit men should ihare in military
service. Which leads an exchange
to say that he might have added
that all monied men not fit for
military service should share in
the defence of their country by
proportionate contributions of the:r
wealth, levied by taxation.
The New York Herald puts the
matter of Germany's complaint
- about munitions for the Allies in
very clear light: '`It is not onl;
un-American, but anti-American.
It is simply and solely of Germans,
by Germans, for Germans. And
just as it is essentially pro -German
and anti-American, so it is inher-
ently and absolutely immoral."
The New York Tribune - reprints
a picture showing Kaiser 'Wilhelm
and Theodore Roosevelt riding to-
gether at a great review of German
troops on the Colonel's return from
Africa. The meeting was attended
with every evidence of friendship
and esteem. Now the former
president classes the Germans with
white slavers, thugs and burglars,
—and he is quite justified.

BANDAGES VS, BULLETS
Everyone knows the story of the
kingdom which was lost for the sake
of a horses! 0 3, It is not too 'much to
say that the present war will be decid-
ed ae much by bandages as by bullets,
The lied Cross Is the eighth and not
the least formidable of the allies.
Munitions of war are r ecessary but
the human material is even more
necessary. In the great wastage of
human material which is taking piss ,
the side which can put its wounded
back into the firing line, has an i n
mense advantage,. A Iong war re
solves itself into a supreme test of the
recuperative powers of the belliger
entre This is a war not only of armlet
but of nations. The bandage will
prove in the long run as d ci lye : o
the hullett. A flourishing Red Cross
Society is not the least one of the
strongest defences of a nation.
This is not out of keeping with the
oentral Red Cross idea which is Peace
et the present time lies through vic-
tory. The Red Cross works for Peace
end Victory by making bandages. It
s only by contributing to the Red
Cross that you can reconcile pacificism
with patriotism.
Red Cross work is not a mere "Fad",
soothing outlet for feminine senti-
mentalism, The Red Cross is an in-
lispensable adjunct to the modern
array. If "Man's Work" be defined,
the task of the utmost necessity and
importance, then the Red Cross worl:
is primarily and emphatically Man's
Work. The man wire, helps in the
making of bandages acts as manfully
as he who helps to make Elella.
during the last few weeks has been
brisker than for months. In fact not
since the outbreak of war has there
been such enthusiasm and such a
deluge of men willing to don khaki.
The Disposition of Troops.
The following table shows approxi-
mately the number of Canadian
troops raised, their disposition, and
where they are at present located:
Princess Patricia's Light In-
fantry (in France) 1,000
First Contingent (from Val-
cartier) (in France) 32,000
Second Contingent (in Brit-
ain) 20,000
Reinforcements (1st and 2nd
Contingents), in England
and France) 22,000
38th Royal Ottawa (in Ber-
muda) 1,100
Half Battalion (in St. Lucia) 600
Hospital, Medical, Veterinary,
Engineers, etc. , (Overseas) 5,000
Twelve Battalions (reinforcd-
ments) 15,000
34 Battalion (raised or being
raised) (in Canada) ., 40,000
12 Batteries of Artillery (be-
ing raised) (in Canada) 2,000
Six Regiments Mounted Men
(raised) (in Canada) 3,000
Men ou garrison duty and
Home Service (in Canada) 10,000
Patricias Being Reorganized.
Of the original Princess Patricia's
Regiment, the first Canadian force to
see fighting in France, less than 100
fighting men are loft. However•, the
regiment is being reorganized and
reinforcements are being sent at once
which will bring this crack unit again
up to strength.
It may be explained in epnnectipn
with the above table that' at the time
when it looked as if Turkey Would
invade Eqpt thirteen regiments of
mounted rifles were raised in Can-
ada, principally from the cowboys;
plainsmen, and rough riders of the
West. When the threatened Turkish
invasion came to naught and the fight
with the Ottoman Empire developed
into siege work at tile Dardanelles,
the Mounted Rifles volunteered to go
to Flanders as dismounted cavalry.
Seven regiments are already in Eng-
land. Six remain in Canada-
DREAMS
Tonight the fingers of the rain
Beat softly on the window pane
And lol my heart is back again
Within the golden years;
Again I bear the thrushes' call
1 see the roses on the wall,
The sunlight sparkles over all
Seen through a midst of tears.
And in the garden's summer glow
Two little figures come and go, [snow,)
The one with the brow and tliroat of
Her eyes were heaven's own blur;
Her cheeks were like the roses there,
As threads of gold her flswing hair
She was indeed a flower most, fair,
Like those of sun and dew.
Ah me! Within the churchyard's shade
That lovely fair form is laid,
The merry child with whom I played,
Amid the birds and flowers;
And, listening to the autumn rain,
With its deep undertone of pain,
My thoughts go back to her again,
And all the golden hours.
The years, tho' cad, are quickly flown
Her name now carven on a stone,
With moss and ivy overgrown
Still sacred is to me;
And oh, to -night my heart would fain
Forget the burden of its pain,
Go bank to hes and youth again,
When life was glad and free.

Red Cross Work in Serbia
All who have come in contact with
Sarbians are unanimous in their prais-
es of the simple and unaffected good
qualities of the people, They are gay,
t•alkative, friendly and childlike, They
are brave and stubbonn fighters and
they bear pain' patiently and uncoui•
plainingly. They are also quick and
intelligent and have a lively sense of
humour. Oae of the nurses speaks of
the ingenuity they showed in evading
the rules of the hospital in which she
as stationed.
"I once accidentally," she says
walked into my ward when I was sup•
possed to he at lunch and saw a brisk
trade going on at an open window at
the far end, The patients were buy-
ing bottles of native gin from a merch
ant outside. This traffic I found had
been going on for some time and 'had
been hid in the beds. When I ruth
lessly confiscated all the liquor there
was a hearty outburst of laughter but
no lamentations.

In arranging its exhibit at the Tor-
onto Fair, the 0, P. It, bats entirely
foresworn the old-fashioned style of
wheat and grain decoration, which on
Its first appearance indeed had all the
charm of novelty, although it usually
meant the cruel raerifice of a carload
of good grain. Three entirely new
fcatureo have this year been introduc-
ed—one being the representation in
in fac-simile of a standard 0, P, R.
dining car kitohen, the mysteries of
which are explained to the interested
housewife by two C. '. R chefs, Oc-
cupying a space of only 27 ft.. x 8 ft.,
the -dining oar kitchen has to turn out
erventy-five a la carte meals within an
hour, and as a result epi oe is econom•
ized to a marvellous degree, and the
pantry is a masterpiece of convenience
ingenuity. The sanitary conditions
under which the food Ie cooked are
here visualized as they can never be in
the most highly -colored folder, and on
the opening day the attendants bad a
time explaining to the lady visitors
how the C. P. R. bad made it possible
to cook two eggs where only one had
b en cooked before. The skill' of the
chefs is illustrated also by a display of
pastry and confectionery, one cake
representing Weak worth Castle in
Northumberland protected by two
guns, all made of sugar icing, while
another bride's cake consists of six
tiers representing the six allied nat-
ions. The Dietetic Blended Menu, of
course, is not forgotten, and the visi-
tors carry away with them an amusing
little pamphlet entitled, "Taking the
Break out of Breakfast," Facing the
Dining Car Kitchen is a realistic rt•
presentrtion of the bow of a 0. P. R.
Great Lakes steamer, approached by a
gangway, with the invitation, "All
aboard for the Soo, Port Arthur and
Fort William." Once on deck the Via -
tor is able to inspect an ordinary cab-
in, a cabin de luxe with four poster
bed, a private bathroom, and the Ver-
andah Cafe, which this year has been
introduced with great effect in the 0.
P. R. GreatL'tkes Service. The nautic-
al character of this exhibit is kept up
by the sailors in charge, wllo take ob-
servations and strike the bell at each
hour—three belle or six bells, what•
ever the time may be. Nothing of the
kind so realistic has ever been show n
in Toronto, or, indeed, in Canada, be-
fore. The third section of the C. P.
R. exhibit interests the sportsman and
the small boy, for it is an actual hunt-
er's cabin from New Brunswick, built
of logs by Harry Allen, of Frederic-
ton, in the interests of the New Bruns.
wick Guides' Association and the St,
John Tourist -Association. The cabin
is placed in a setting of rocks, spruce
and pines, with a very fine display of
-noose, caribou and deer horns lent by
various sportsmen, while a touch of
life is added by two raccoone, a pair of
owls which apparently take as much
interest in the small boys as the small
boys take in them. It was also the
intention to exhibit here some war
relics which G. McL, Brown, European
Manager of the O.P,R., had sent over
from London, but these are displayed
instead in the Government Building
with the other war relics collected by
the Exhibition authorities. The C.
P. R. exhibits thus loaned include an
iron cross, incendiary bombs dropped
from a Zeppelin, German soldier's
helmet, specimens of German com-
munications, Austrian Bread tickets,
the models of the cruiser H. M. S.
Glasgow, the torpedo boat destroyer
H.M.S. Mosquito and the auxiliary
cruiser, Empress of Russia.

THOUGHTS FOR A DISCOURAGED
FARMER
The summer wind is sniffin'round the
bloomin' locus' trees,
And the clover in the pastor' is a big
day for the bees,
And they've been a-swiggin' honey,
aboveboard and on the sly,
Till they stutter in their buzzin' and
stagger as they fly.
They's been a heap o' rain, but the
sun's out to- day,
A erd the clouds of the wet spell is all
cleared away,
And the woods is all the greener, and
the grass is greener still;
It may rain again to -morrow, but I
don't think it will.
Some say the crops ie ruined, and the
corn's dr owned out,
And propha-sy the wheat will be a
failure, without doubt;
But the kind Providence, that has
never failed us yet,
Will be 0n band onc't more at the
leventh hour, I bet!
Does the modder-lark complain, as he
swims high and dry,
Through the waves of the wind and
the blue of the sk)? •
Does the queil set up and whistle in a
disappointed way,
Er hang his head in silence and sorrow
all the day?
is the chipmuck's health a failure?
Does he walk, or does he rut,?
Don't the buzzards ooze around up
(hare, just like they've allus done?
Is there anything the matter with the
rooster's lungs or voice?
Ort a mortal be complainin' when
dumb animals rejeice?
Then let ue, one and all, be contented
with our lot;
The June is here this morning and the
sun is shining hot,
Oh, let ue fill our heatts with the glory
of the day,
And banish ev'ry doubt and care and
sorrow far away!
