WILLIAM CHAMPION, ' Outer Temple, London. MEOLIYAL TRA11SPOItTAT110\T. Great Contrast Between 1.411.4 and the Present Time. There is something ludicrous in the contrast between the lu(nb:ering artillery with which Charlek VIII. t of France crossed the Alps in, he summer of 1494 and the vast Krupp. guns that to -day are being rapidly transported by .railway from one point to another. Count Louis de la Tremoille won great favor in the. eyes of the king by his success in conveying ores' the precipitous slopes of the Apennines the train of fourteen French oannbn, each of which was usually drawn by thilrty five horses. When the French commanders were facing their dilemma, the Swiss came to their rescue. These mercenaries, by plundering a. cap- tured town in violation of the king's command, had fallen into dies favor. Being anxious to reinstate themselves in their employe'r's good graces, they proposed to harness themselves to the guns and to drag them over the mountain. The king promptly accepted their offer. The master gunner, Jean de la. Grange, arranged the technicalities of the undertaking, but La Tre- moidle supervised its execution. And to hire was chiefly due the penfe•ct success of this enterprise --the .transport of fourteen enormous cannon over a pathless and precipi- tous mountain in the scorching July sun. To prepare ,a way for the guns, says Winifred Stephens in her book, "Tate La Tremoifle Family," trees had to be cut down, socks exploded and the. .ground levelled. In all these works, Count Louis personal- ly took part. Clad only in doublet and hose, be worked inlharness side by side with the Swiss, and with his own hand( bore over the moun- tains helmets .full of heavy cannon balls. All the while, with charac- teristic French, patience and cheer- fulness, be was encouraging the sol- diers by offering rewards to those who should first drag their gun to the summit, and providing drink with which to quench the men's parching thirst. Thus encouraged. by their heroic captain and inspired by the martial music of trumpet, foe and drum, incitin.g one another to new efforts by those curious cries that their descendants even to -day call over the Alpine valleys, the Swiss at length succeeded in dleag- ging all the fourteen cannon up to the top of the mountain. Then came the descent, which was even more difficult than the ascent had been; for the guns were allJowed to go down by their own weight, and the Swiss, roped to the backs) of them to steady their descent, were in danger el being carried away by the momentum of the artillery. To La Tremoille'•s oaeefulness it was mainly dale that net one life, -was lost during thie dangerous business. At the, end of two 'days the count, burned by the sun trill he resembled a biaelcamoor, triumphantly told the king that th s ;artillery train bad encased the mountains, and lay safe on- the boulder -strewn bank of the river Taro.

Lord as Kitchener has decided for silence; and, have said, Lord Kitchener is more 440 us than many newspapers—more than all of them, in fact. The Rigid Censorship. American newspapers complain of the British censorship. 'We know that the eensorsllip is very severe. But if our people, whose best and dearest are dying gaily end hero- ically in those terrible trenches, can bow their heads to the man whom they have put in authority, having in him the deepest possible faith, why should Americans call out against the censorship 1 Believe me, we are not fighting this war for amusement. When we look et those fearful easualty lists- and sec that .some other brave and brilliant youngster has given up his life that Britain may live we take comfort from Rudyard Kipling's line : "Who dies if England live?" And then w,o are in no mood; to consider peo- ple who cannot get columns of pi,r- turesque battle stories—people whose hearts are not strained as I'ilis is a Silent War. Yon must bear in mind that this is practically a silent war. We hear next to nothing of the prowess of individual regiments. And yet the British army has fought as never army fought before. The fighting at the Bloody Angle in the great American Civil War Was assuredly deserving of the mama; but the car- nage there is not to be compared with what took place at Ypres and in many other actions from Mons to Soissons. and from Soissons to that tiny corner of Belgian terri- tory which the allied troops still so tenaciously )hold. Battalions of famous British regiments that went into battle a thousand and odd strong have come out each` com- mended by a junior lieutenant, end his proud, eolnanand has been the merest handful of men. But you are aware of that mighty and Heroic eon et from Mons down- wards. and rneed not speak of an episode which will live in History as one of the greatest featsof arms the world has ever ,known. My point i5, ;that the, towns and the villages from which the various regiments are raised are net told of the deeds their boys have Clone. Ours, We are grateful, most grateful, for America's sympathy ; but we ex- pected it. What else could we ex- pect. It is not for me to say that we are fighting Annerica's battle. We may be. But I know that we are fighting the battle of honor and of .truth and that the rights of small nations may not perish. And if honor and truth and the rights of small nations are to perish, then we will perish with them. If that is America's battle, then we are fight- ing I have written at great length be- cause I should ea me* like Ameri- cans to get scene idea of Great Bri- tain's efforts in this, the world's most tremendous oonfliet. The sons of the Empire are returning to these shores from all parts of the globe— returning voluntarily. We cannot compel them to thane home _but they realize that the Old Grey Mother 15 in peril ,and simply to read the ac- counts of the fighting in newspa- pers, doesn't make them consciences tranquil, Only this day 1 saw about a hundred young men who lied journeyed from South America, at their own expense, in order that they might relieve the thin khaki line in Flanders to the utmost of their ability.

Yet, in spite of these difficulties, the Russians manage to give a. very fair, usually an exact, version of English proper and place names, I want to suggest, bpth out of com- pliment to them e.nd in the inter- est of accuracy also, that we should try to turn Russian navies into English more correctly than we do.

An immense number of Olt World's greatest !battles have been fought in the spring or at seasons ;when .the mobility of arm- ies has not been hampered by snow. Marengo, Jena, .Friedland, Wagra4.n, Waterloo, Solferino, Ma- genta, Sadoeva, were all fought at seasons preferred .by commanders. These general considerations are enough to justify us in believing that all the fighting we have yet seen in this war will be exceeded in fierceness 'by that which will fal- low the removal of winter's burl - aides, but we have oth .r grounds Lor the expectation of a sanguin- ary spring. Lord Kitchener has more than hinted that war will begin m ear- nest in May. He has received un- limited authority front "i'arliament to throat- ilmneuse reserves into the a1eiia. Of the area of Franee only about one-eighth has been cuvered by the ,war. 7u the remaining seventh -eighths there are .tannish) which what a few years ago we would have called "great armies" are being made read,!' to take the field in the spring.

A neutral traveller, recently in Germany. saw such hosts of sol- diers held in reserve that he is ready to believe that the reinforce • meats for its battle line in the spring trill aggregate 2.077,177) fresh troops. Altogether w1 may prepare .to see when May is at Mand a most colossal wrestling match between immense hens. If you were in partnership. with a Mr. Smith and persisted in call- ing him "Smith" he might justi- fiaillly ibe annoyed. If his hiouse were called "Fernhurst," and you always spoke of it and spelt • it as "Wernhurst," his opinion of your intelligence would not be high. That is the way we treat Russian names, and if the Russians do not protest, it is only because theyare a people of infinite toleration. They do not, believe me, tttlssi'hk more highly of ns or of our lan- guage for our slipshod lack of care in thus direction. • There need be no difficulty about reproducing closely in English the sound of any Russian name. Why, then; do we spell the town which used to be called Lemberg, Lwo'wl That suggests a pronunciation to rhyme with "now" and "cow." The proper way to pronounce it is Lvoff. How "Lwow" ever came to bo printed 1 cannot imagine. It is spelt with ,two "v's." Bello•re a Consonant the Russian "v" as hard, like ours. At :the end of . a mord it is ~slightly softened and should ibe represented in English by doulhle "f." Whenever "w" is used in spelling a Russian name, it i6 wrong, for there is no "iv" in Russian.
