Leases' of tato Reasians in the North. J. L. Garvin, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, Landon ,says: Whatever may happen afterward in Flanders, and the keenest appetite for events is yetto be fully satisfied in that quarter, the wey to relieve Rus- sia; neutralize the effect of the fall of Warsaw, destroy all the hopes of the Germans in the east and speed the whole war is for the western allies, Britain above all, to concentrate their full energy and strength upon the Dardanelles expedition and upon the whole. Balkan problem. At Gates of Destiny. There lies the sure key that will un- lock the gates of destiny. Success in this quarter would be the salvation of the armies of the allies. Failure would be unforgiveable on the part of some who are responsible for war diplomacy. There has been a lamentable loss of precious time through reluctance to face sooner the necessity for gaps that were bound to be unavoidable in the end. A good deal of incompetent ob- struction has been cleared away and we Ake getting' at the real meanirtg of terms. No one pretends to regard the Dar- danelles expedition any longer as a secondary undertaking. We must re- gard it, however, not only as a major operation, but second• in importance to no enterprise whatever in any of the fields of war. Facile and shallow minds which are always taking the obvious for the true tried to delude us with parrot cries about Flanders being the princi- pal theatre. No one locality, east or west, can be the principal theatre. War throughout Europe is one war. We have to look for the best line of solution. The best line of solution for the allies in thefirstinstance runs into the more vulnerable of central 'em- pires from the base formed by the Straits and the Black Sea, by Con- stantinople and the Balkans. Truth About Flanders. Flanders, on the contrary, is the line of most resistance, where any given expenditure of efforton our part is likely to have the least effect until the whole German plan for war on two fronts is fatally beaten by a full and deliberate development of the allies' initiative of war on three fronts. But that is not enough either for us or the allies. Common purpose de- mands for its decisive issue a larger plan and direct attack, which shall unite all the forces of the allies in a war on three fronts, and after dispos- ing of Turkey assail Austria-Hun- gary from the south, In tackling the Gallipoli problem with full means and resolution, we shall be laying the foundation stone for an immense edifice. We shall not only be establishing a military power and a grand alliance upon the middle front, whence the Germans' position in both east and west ought to be compromised, but shall enable the concerted action of all the allies to move upon one vast continuous line stretching from England to Flanders, through France, Italy and the Bal- kans into Russia. That conception is mighty, but also - practicable. It is magnificent, but it Is also war. Von Hindenburg evidently is work- ing might and main to bring orf the huge coup of his dreams, which hith- erto always has failed. To Turn Main Line. He hopes to turn inner line of Nie- men on the Bug as completely as he now has turned the outer line on the Vistula. He undoubtedly is throwing every man he can muster into the Baltic provinces far above the Polish triangle, and means to strike heavily at the Grand Duke's and the main railway connections with Petrograd. The chief junctions aimed at are Vilna and Dvinsk. His forces are not yet within sixty miles of either. The country is shaggy and sodden and in- terminably broken by rivers and lakes and every kind of running and standing water, so that it is in some respects more difficult and dangerous than any region the Germans yet have penetrated, but they are confident in their transports, their engineering corps and technical resources of every }rind, and in their cavalry, which they hope to launch in overwhelming mass And speed. ' ip Divided the Loaf. The Duke of Portland is an ardent sportsman, ,And a good story is told of how he once named a racehorse. Some time ago he and, another ' peer bid together for a fine animal, and the contest between them was very keen. At last over £500 was bid for the horse, "If we go on at this rate," id the other peer, "we shall be pay- ing far more than the creature is worth; suppose we buy it between ns?" The Duke of Portland agreed, and later on they had a discussion as to what the horse should be called.

Dauphin reports 25;'' Portage 'la Prairie 26; Rossburn 80;and the Swan River District up to 85. . Along the main line in Saskatchewan the re- ports from the Humbolt District run up to 88 bushels to the acre, and estimates up to 30 bushels comes from the North Battleford section. Northwest of that city, Meota, reports 28 to 30 bushels. East of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan on the north- ern line, Melford estimates are up to 30 bushels. The Saskatoon section estimates go as high as 85, while the Kindersley division, southwesterly to- wards the Alberta boundary, are es- timated at 35 bushels to the acre. The De Lisle division in approximate- ly the same area reports up to 40 bushels to the acre. In Alberta, the Hanna section, in the south and the Athabasca in the north, estimate the yield up to 40 bushels per acre. The Edmonton Disctrict forecast runs as high as 36, and Vermilion to SO. In Central Alberta and Battle River District prospects are given as high as 35. In only a few instances does the estimate fall below 20 bushels, and those statements are widely separated. The estimates for oats is derived from the statements of 159 stations and that for barley from 126. The highest forecast for oats comes from the Elrose District in Saskat- chewan. There the expectation is for 100 bushels to the acre. Nextis the report from the Hanna District et 90 bushels. The lowest of all is 20 to 30 bushels. In Barley the highest esti- mate comes from Ardate in the De Lisle District and Dinsmore in Elrose District, each estimating 60 bushels to the acre. The lowest is 15 bushels. Strangely enough in each case where low averages are given, the next sta- tion reports an expectation for yields of excellent quantity. Telegraphic advices received yes- terday by the Canadian Northern from the Departments of Agriculture of Saskatchewan and Allierta indicate that warm weather is the rule throughout both provinces. That from Saskatchewan reads: "The special weekly report on crop conditions based on telegrams re- ceived from all parts of the Province is issued to -day by the Department of Agriculture.

When I` ate I suffered terrible pains, a fluttering of the heart, and often a feeling of nausea, In addi- tion to this I was in a very anmmic condition, and felt as if I was linger- ing between life and death. One day While sitting in the park a lady got into conversation with me, and I told her my trouble. She asked me if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying that they had been a great benefit to her daughter. When I went home I decided to try this medi- cine. I soon found the pills were helping me, and continued taking them for several months, when I was restored to better health than S had enjoyed for years, and I have since been the picture of health. I hope my experience may be the means of pointing to others the way to health." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. EYES OF A FISH. Its Optic Is Three .Times the Size of a Man's. In the effort to discover why fishes are so near-sighted, scientists have been making some remarkable experi- mental studies of their eyes. One of the many interesting facts which these studies revealed was that fishes' eyes, compared with human eyes, are relatively Large. The length of the eye of a fish is ordinarily about one- twentieth of its length, while the length of the eyeball of a man is from a sixtieth to a seventieth of his height. The eyes of fishes are in constant use except when they are asleep. Most fishes have no eyelids, their eyes being protected from injury by a shiny material, or by a thick trans- parent skin. The puffer, or swell - fish, which habitually burrows in sand at the bottom of the water, has eye- lids, which cover the eyeballs when closed, the lower eyelid being larger than the upper. In the experimental work the eyes of normal fishes were first examined with the retinoscope, then by electri- cal stimulation the focus was changed from distant to near objects. It was found that, contrary to tract by mail for convenience of those statements sometimes made, the eyes seeking harvest work will be found the of fishes when swimming were focus- average dates on which cutting will be general but the 21st of August should see the binders busy through- out the Province. From the South- west exceptionally good reports have come in and the wheat heads are stat - ed for distant vision. Fishes are able to focus their eyes on near objects— as close as four inches—by the action of the superior and inferior oblique muscles; they have no ciliary muscles. It was found possible to make the, fish ed to be larger than usual. No furth- near-sighted, far-sighted, or astignia- er damage by hail is reported and in tie. those districts where hay can be ob- tained a satisfactory supply of good hay is being saved.

A guest lvas expected for dinner and Bobby had received 5 cents as the price of his silence during the melon.

He drew the coin from his pocket, and, rolling it across the table, exclaimed, "Here's your nickel, mamma, ra rather talk." charged with obtaining any informa- tion she desired. Long before the war, say the Eng lien, Germany employed hundreds of feminine spies --beautiful aoeiety wo- men, in many eases. These women have played important parts in the present campaign, Here is a typical ease as cited in London: By accident a woman hand- ed a sentry the very note that she was to have given to the Germans, in mistake for the permit that she had to show in order to cross the bridge between Varangville and St. Nicholas. She was charged before a court of war and later executed. Another woman dropped a letter, which read; "Hurry up; the Twen- tieth Corps arrives this evening." She dropped it at the gates of Nancy, and was straightway arrested. During the battle of the Aisne a wo- man was one night discovered signal- ing from a window to the Germans by means of an electric torch. Attached to the garrison at Posen was a young officer named Schorve- der, who was very poor. He was deeply in love with a girl named Ida Mullerthal, but, owing to his poverty, the prospect of their getting married was very remote. The lovers' trouble was known to a Russian secret agent, who approached the lieutenant and offered him $26,000 for a plan of the fortress of Posen. Dazzled by this offer, the lieutenant agreed, but he found it difficult to carry out his task. His sweetheart then suggested a cunning way out of the difficulty, "You shall tattoo a plan of the fort- ress on my back," she said. "I shall easily be able to travel to Russia with it without being discovered." They carried out their fantastic idea successfully, but the silly ex- travagance in which the newly -wed- ded couple indulged after the girl returned to Posen aroused suspicion, and they were both arrested. s' Don't throw kisses, young man; deliver the goods.

Britain Deports Beauty Specialist Who • Was a Spy. Some of the most thrilling chapters in the history of the world's wars are those in which women have played a conspicuous part. Mme. Bertha Trost, declared by British officials to be the most dan- gerous spy in the world, has just been deported from England as a German spy, For thirty years, ac- cording to the Scotland Yard officials who have been investigating her career, she has lived in England in expensive apartments that were far beyond her visible income. During most of that period she operated an exclusive little beauty parlor that served rather to place her in touch with titled :English women than increase her revenue.
