General Currie Heads March Through the Capital of Overseas Forces and His Msjesty Takes Salute, The march through London on ivl'ay 3rd of the Overseas troops provided a unique Empire pageant for the Heroes orowcls of cheering people with which the route was lined. The gaily de- corated 5Lrceta, ablaze with allied flag's, presented a brilliant picture in the bright sunshine, while squadrons of airplanes, piloted by Dominion aces, circled aid swooped above the ranks of marching troops.

FOR PEACE REVELS The King, hold an investiture of overseas troops, took the salute at Ole palace, The King's Address. The following message from the Kling was handed each man on the dis- persal of the parade; "Officers, non- commissioned officers and men of the overseas forces: "It is with a heart full of pride and gratitude I take your salute to -day as you march in triumph through Lon- don. The poople of the British Do- minions beyond the seas by their in- stant readiness to share in the trials and responsibilities of the great war have shown to the -world Ole unity of the British Empire. You, with your comrades from the Mother Country, vied with one another in noble deeds, which will ever be held in proud re- membrance. Readily you adapted yourselves to changing conditions of a new and formidable kind of warfare, and endured physical hardships and exacting mental strain. "Whether on the plains of Flanders, the heights of Gallipoli, in France, in Palestine or other theatres of war you displayed gallant endurance in de- fence and vigorous initiative in at- tack. Wo and future generations will never forget the part played by the Canadians in the second battle of Ypres and Vimy Ridge, by the Aus- tralians and New Zealanders at Galli- poli, end in the advance in France in the spring of 191? by troops of all the three Dominions in breaking the Hin- denburg Line last year, by the South Afriettu Brigade in Delville Wood, and by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment at Mouthy Le Pr0iix. "Now in the day of victory I wish' to express to you who represent the overseas forces my unbomtded ad- miration for your splendid feats of arms and sacrifices you have made. I wish you all God -speed on your home- ward journey, with the hope that the outcome of this world struggle will as- sure peace to your children and your children's children." High Standard of Courage. As one writer says; "Each Dominion contingent in its first battle set itself to reach and reached the highest standard of desperate and disciplined courage," it is pointed out that the Victoria Cross was never so hard to win as in the 0,.10 nt war, yet the number Con- ferred on overseas soldiers is greater titan the crosses gained by all arms in any previous campaign, with the ex- ception of the Indian Mutiny. The Times prints a detailed account of the deeds of Canadians and New- foundlanders and says the final effort of Canada during the last hundred days is worthy of her sons, who, un- der Gen, Currie, proved second to none in battle. FEAST ON ELEPHANTS' FEET. Diet of Tommies in Africa Included Eland and Zebt'a Steaks, Men returning from what was Ger- man East Africa have been telling people in England some of their int. pl'eseiolls about strange meats with which the British Tommies have vari- ed their diet of bully beef, It is stated that the best of the strange meats was eland steak, which is appetizing and as satisfying as the juicest steals from an English ox. Elephant meat has a good flavor, according to the returned soldiers, but it is sometimes stringy and coarse. The trunk of the elephant is a deli- cacy resembling, according to the men, the succulent opera from the hump of tho angelf. Elephants' feet baked in wood ashes in a !tole in tate ground make fairly good meat jelly, but it is inclined to be gluey runless properly cooked. Ghee flesh Is coarse and Its flaw' recalls the odor of cat's meat.

General Illumination of the Whole Kingdom at 11 p.m. on Night Fixed —Pageants and Plays. The date of the celebration of peace in Britain is yet uncertain, though June is still spoken of, says a London despatch, He is wise who refuses to prophesy, but it is safe to prophesy one thing, and that is when the Peace night revels do conte off they will he fast and furious. with bonfires and beacons 'and squibs and crackers, and, with the sanction of the War Office, a barrage of star shells and Verey lights, with the long white beams from scores of searchlights illuminating the whole. There will be no end of Light and laughter, pageants and plays and shows, and the whole Empire, circled by a chain of fire, will rejoice. Under the direction of a committee of members of Parliament, presided. over by Air, J, G, Butcher, M,P., Peace Celebrations, Beacons, and Bonfires Committees have been formed all over the kingdom, which have ar- ranged that Ore general illumination of the whole kingdom will commence at eleven p.m. on tho night fixed. As the use of valuable fuel is to be deprecated at this time, the Admiralty and Wer Office are supplying the large surplus stocks of Dover flares, rockets and handlights at the very lowest pos- sible prices, so that for oven the small- est communities they may be cheap enough. The flares, the invention of the late Wing Commander Brock, bril- liantly illuminate an area of three miles radius. They burn for seven and a half minutes, weigh ninety pounds, stand three feet high by eight inches diameter, are non -explosive and are fired by friction, so that they are safe enough even to the most in- experienced. Eight of these flares will maintain the illumination for an hour, and conveyed to mountain tops in sufficient number the whole Em- pire should be made bright as day for an hour even on the darkest, moonless and cloudiest night. Great Peace Pageants. But the bonfires will not be confined to the flares alone. All the waste brushwood and hedgerow clippings, which at this time of year are usually burned up, are being collected to make bonfires on "the night." They will make a (lull red glow, with a maxi - 11111111 of smoke, but they will serve. Then there is to be a wonderful series of peace pageants to be given in various great centres in aid of St. Duustan's Fund for soldiers blinded in the war, St. Dunstan's, which has the ,patronage of. Queen Alexandra, is striving now to enlist the help 0f 20- 000 voluutary performers, for whom costumes are being Prepared. It is to be a gigantic production with scenic and mechanical effects never before attempted or oven thought of in con• neaten with open air displays. This pageant, which will have a vast oen- tral arena and subsidiary stages on Dither side, will open with an episode showing the Empire at peace? Then, with the call to arms, come the "Old Contemptibles" boarding a great troopship. The early stages of the conflict will be realistically depicted, and it is pro- posed that in each city where the Peace Pageant is given the most not- able deeds of local regiments shall be reconstructed, where possible, by the amen who fought in the engagements, The Navy is the theme of the fourth episode, which will begin with the Spithead Review of 1911 and close with the glorious attack on Zeebrugge. In the final scene of triumph all the regiments of the Allies will be repre- sented in a parade of colors reminis- cent of the days before khaki replaced distinctive and decorative uniform. -As a finale, symbolic of the coming gene- ration, a thousand children clad in red, white and blue will form a living Union Jack. Choir of 20,000 Voices. Tho League of Arts is arranging for other entertainments on a colossal scale in London. On from twenty to thirty of the _parks and commons stands are to be erected capable of accommodating about 1,000 instru- mentalists and singers, and in addition tlfere will be raised stages for the pro- duction of such plays as "A Midsum- mer Night's Dream" and "As You Like It." The organization of a choir of 20,- 000 0;000 voices to sing in the open air is being undertaken by Dr, Charles Harris. "I will raise a choir of 10,- 000 in London and 10,000 in the pro- vinces and bring then together in a London park," says Dr: Harris. "All the things we sing are known to most people. We are not going to attempt to sling over people's heads, but just simple things which appeal to the mul- titude—the national anthems of the Allies, 'March of the Men of Ilarlech,' parts of the 'Hallelujah Chorus; while there is a wealth of expression both in. words and music in 'Hymns Ancient and Modern,' which are worth singing. In a big demonstration of this sort the singing must be on simple lines, and if it is kept within this area of modesty in music every one can un- derstand and every one can sing." A Shrewd Turk. Writing in Asia, Mr. John .Van Ess relates a tale that exhibits an interest- ing bit of Turkish acumen. I once happened to be on a Turkish steamer, he says, when there were four-Europ- eans ourEurop- eans in the first saloon. The cook had prepared a roast for our dinner and had placed it in the scullery window. A short time before the meal he came frantically in to the pasha who 0001- mauclecl the three hunched soldiers on board, exclaiming that the roast had been stolen. The pasha, undisturbed, detailed an aid to hunt out the thief. "Line up the soldiers on deck," said he, "anti smell every plan's breath. He whose breath does not smell of onions is the thief. Bring hint quick!" In an incredibly short time the aid returned, leading a gaunt solder, who meekly admitted his guilt. All the other soldiers had dined on onion stow, but the guilty man had eaten choice roast beef. Roundly, 84,0C/0,000 worth of orders have already been booked in Europe by Canadian woolen manu- facturers who formed a trade group, as advocated by, the Canadian Trade Commission. Other groups are now being rapidly arranged. ,,,..�,•e`"_a_ms�_m. c,-.•�.-• "„m, - - ,>:a`s',.-i, -.tea. r. food was d vjsedd,,for a definite � .

SPINNING STEEL, Intricate Process Used In Manufac- ture of Steel. Steel for wire making is delivered to the wird ntlli In bars four inches square. a yard long and about one hun- dred and fifty pounds in weight. The wire makers bring the bars to a white- hot, pliable condition, then run them through a series of grooved rolls in the rod mill. It forms thein into rods of lead -pencil size that are conveyed through a pipe to a mechanism that Coils them into bundles, The rods are Men carried on moving platforms to the open air and cooled. From that point on, says the Scientific American, the wire makers bring the metal to its final shape while it is cold by the wire -drawing process. The bundles are first immersed in a vat of dilute sulphuric acid, called a Pickling solution, Then after most of the acid is got rid of 01 a hot-water bath, the rods are run very slowly tin- der successive sprays of water. The: rods are then dipped in mi1k of lime to neutralize any remaining traces of acid, in order to protect theist from further atmospheric action, and to pro- vide them -with aalibricant during their subsequent passage through the steel die, Brittleness is next overcome by baking,.tho lime -coated rods for sever- al hones in an oven at a temperature ofjnur hundred degrees; after that 11101:al•e ready to be drawn into wire. ,A:wh'e.drawing die is. a solid piece of-sid'el with a number of round, tap- ered holes --that is, smaller on one side; of the die than on the other.

The projecting end is then fas- tened' to a revolving drum that pulls the .entire length of the rod through the die. It is now wire—round, sniootli and without kinks. It is drawn through one die after another, each, slnallerthan the one before, tin• til it reduced to the required size.

The glove fabric industry, which until the outbreak of the war, was a German monopoly, is being rapidly recaptured by Nottingham mnanufac- turers, It originally had its home in giant, but the success of Ger man chemists in discovering the method of dyeing black on cotton, known as the Hemsdorff profess, Which not only produces a perman- ent black, but makes the gloves suede -like in appearance and touch, spelt ruin to the English manufactur- ers. The Germans before the wet exported 30,000,000 pairs of these gloves, valued at three-quarter of a million sterling to England. The dyeing and finishing of lace and hosiery by Nottingham firms has, however, reached such a high standard of late years, end has . re- vealed to many German secrets, that the manufacturers are now entering again into the glove .fabric trade, So successfui are they proving that whereas in 1913 England only made 880,000 yards of glove fabric, that figure is now being quadrupled, Nottingham firths etre spending large sums of money on ehem,icai re- search. end .are turtling out gloves equal to anything produced by Ger- many, but they are appealing to the Government not to allow the trade to be !tilled once more by Germany, where labor, which represents one- third of the cost, is les:l well paid.

I became friendly with the farmer, who .asked ate my name, and I told him it was Caruso. The farmer leaped to his feet and seized me by the hand.
