Cheese Dishes,
Cheese Roll.—Take an ordinary long
French roll and cut into slices remov-
ing the crusts so as to leave round
pieces of crumb. Butter each slice
and cover very thickly with grated
American cheese; then pile the slices
one on top of the other. Boil a half
int of milk with pepper, salt and a
attic grated nutmeg and when it is
oiling pour over the ez tl a bread and cheese,
malting sure to have it sonic into every
part. Place in a well -buttered deep
pan and hake for 15 minutes in a
moderate oven, basting four or five
times with the juice that comes from
it. When cooked the top should have
a golden brown crust.
Boston Roast.—Mash up the con -1
' tents of a pom7C1 earl of ki
adding half pound of Y Deans,
and enough b grated cheese
mbs to make the
mixture stiff enough to handle. Knead
and make into a roll. Prepare the.
roasting tin by heating and. putting
butter and water in the dripping pan;
then when the butter is quite melted
end the pan hot put in the roll. Bake
for about 15 minutes, basting with the
butter and water, and serve with
tomato sauce. Chopped oniony may
be added to' this dish if desired or a'
delicate flavor pf the onions can be
given by chopping them and cooking]
in the butter and water that is used
for the bash

Vanderv'alle's Cheese Souffle.—Take
two good soupspoonfuls of flour and
mix it with half a teacupful of milk;
melt a lump of butter the size of a
filbert (about a quarter ounce) and
add that; then enough grated cheese
to your taste and the yoke of four
eggs, Add at the last the whites of
the four eggs beaten stiffly, pepper
and salt. Butter a mold, put in your
mixture and let it cook for ens hour
in the saucepan, surrounded with
boiling water and the lid on. Then
turn out the souffle and serve with al
mushroom sauce. The sauce is a
good white sauce to which you have
added already -cooked mushrooms.
Clean them, first of all, chop them and
cook them till tender in butter and
their own juice; then throw them in
the sauce and pour it over your souf-
fle.
Emelie Jones' Cheese Souffle.
Grate a half pound of Gruyere cheese.
Mix in a cup of milk a dessertspoon-
ful of flour; beat four whole eggs and
add first the cheese and then the flour
and milk mixture. Season with pep-
per and salt and put all into a mold.
Let it cook in a saucepan of boiling
water for an hour and a half. Then
at the end of this time put it in the
oven for half an hour.
Sheese Pudding.—Boil up a pint of
milk and pour it on to one tablespoon-
ful of rice floor, which has been mix-
ed with a little cold milk, put back ,
into the pan and stir until the mix-
ture thickens. Remove the pen from
the fire and add four ounces of finely -
grated cheese, a pinch of salt and
cayenne, two ounces of butter and the
yolks of two eggs. Mix all well to-
gether znd then add the beaten whites
of the eggs. Butter 0 pie dish and

Mix all and bake it in a buttered dish
20 minutes till set. Serve it very hot.
Chinese Corks.—Mak-e a thick white
sauce and when it has gotten cold add
the yoke of one egg and a few drops
of lemon juice. Sprinkle in a slice of
grated stale bread and enough grated
chess to flavor it very strongly. Then
leave for two hours to get quite cold.
Shape into small pieces like corks, dip
them into the beaten white of egg and
then into very fine brendcrumbs. Have
ready sone hot fat in a deep pan

directions for making cheese balls.
Cheese Balis.—Take two dessert-
spoonfuls of flour and blend with a
little milk; acid the yolks of three
eggs. Grate two ounces of Gruyere
cheese and two ounces of Parmesan
and add to the flour and eggs. The
cheese should be grated as finely as
possible. Heat the mixture, stirring

C
hi the care of all woodwork there
is one caution never to be forgotten
--to clean off spots just es soon as
they appear, If dirt and grease are
allowed to stand on woodwork it
means that severe measures must be
taken to remove the dirt, and usually
where extreme methods are used the
iinieh is removed with th dirt,
Status should be removed from un-
fhiished wood before washing. (;reale
stains are the const common. The
grease should first be wet with cold
water to prevent spreading and then
eerubbcd with a strong -washing sod
or lye solution.
'Co bleach tui unfinished surface
made in a solution of one teaspoon-
fel to one cup of hot water, may be
applied to the entire surface with a
brush. This is allowed to dry and
then the surface is scrubbed as usual.
For the washing, the surface' should
be gone over with n wet cloth, then
scrubbed with a brush and soap or a
fine sand soap, In scrubbing, the
brush should always go with the grain
of the wood, never across the grain
or in a circular motion, After being
thoroughly scrubbed the surface
should be rinsed off with cleai5 warm
water and then wiped as dry as pos-
sible with a cloth wrung out of warn
water.
As little water as will clo the work
properly should be used. If a groat
deal of water is used the wood be-
comes water -soaked and darkens.
Thorough rinsing is alsoessential, as
otherwise the surface becomes gray
and muddy. looking. In washing a
wood floor care must he taken not to
splash water on the baseboard. In
washing a table, the edge and under
the edge must be carefully washed.
This under surface becomes greasy
simply from the touch of the bands.
Useful Hints.
When cooking beef in a fireless
cooker do not put salt on until the
White velevt can be freshened by
applying chloroform to it after free-
ing the velvet of dust.
A teaspoonful of turpentine to a
pail of water will brighten faded car-
pets better than ammonia.
Cotton crepe table napkins are -n
convenience in the summer cottage.
They require no ironing.
If you are short of baking powder,
silt together' one part of bicarbonate
of soda and two parts of cream of
tartar.
If any boiled starch is left over,
save it and put it into the water with
which oilcloth or linoleum is washed.
It will keep them new and bright.
Gelantine pudding can be made
more nourishing by mixing it with
milk instead of water; but be sure
that the milk is not too hot or it will
curdle.
In making ices in which you ui
fresh fruit, let the fruit soak in good
sherry wine for eight or ten hours.
Freezing will not harden fruit treat-

THE HOLOCAUST OF VERDUN.
Incidents of the Great Battle Which
Fill One With Horror.
The world has grown so familiar
with the tales of wholesale slaughter
since the war began that nothing
short of hecatombs of slain suffice to
move it to its depths. If the Verdun
carnival of lire and blood has not so
stirred ib nothing else will. The nar-
ratives bristle with points of horror.
Here it is of bloody fragments of
unrecognizable humanity hurtling
through the air where bile great ex-
plosives had descended, and falling on
the French soldiery in the adjacent
trenches, and there of the veil of
smoke lifting from the snow-covered
slope and showing up the ground,
thickly dotted with the corpses of the
men who had fought their last fight.
The gond to Douamotit was strewn.
with dead; whole regiments had been
wiped out upon it and the men lay in
thousands where they had fallen.
There was a brown line that attracted .
the attention of the French gunners.
They opened on it with their 75's and
saw large numbers of bodies spring
into the air. That was in the evening.
When the morning light spread "the
brown mass was a mass of German
corpses, that had bean annihilated be-
tween the two hills, and the bodies ,
were so closely pressed together that'
the majority of them were standing
upright" There was a fierce struggle!
for a little wood that the French were !
holding. While they fought for it 1
they mined ib, and when all was ready;
they permitted themselves to be drive
on out of it. It was immediately
rushed by the enemy. Then a button
was ptossed that embroiled a series
of electric wires. A boom sounded,
and forthwith "trees and debris were
flying about and there were terrible :
cries. The Boches had forever Web- i
ed their bawling, and those of our
soldiers who had feigned flight were
in hysterics of delight." Theis in a
long series of grim and lucid word
pictures the agonies are piled one:
upon another. Relatively, these may i
have been small, but in such .a hades
as Verdun.,ihas been they can have'
been nothing else than terrible. And,

.EST IN NUMBER.
A Naval Expert Says Conditions Are
Unchanged by Past
Encounters.
A naval expert, writing in the
Scientific American, is inclined to con-
sider lightly the loss of 32 major war,
vessels of the Allies, which have been
sent to the bottom since thebeginning
of the European war. He bases his
opinion on the fact that while the
number of Allied vessels lost looms
large, the conditions existing on the
sea remain unchanged after close on
to two years of warfare. Indeed, as
the war continues the grip of the.
Allies on control of the sea becomes'
tighter and more secure. He states
in pit,.
"At the outbreak of the war the
preponderance of the Allied fleet was
sufficient to give it virtual control of
rho seas. The Central Powers, recog-
nizing the situation, concentrated their.
vessels so far as possible in home
waters. Those unable to seek this
shelter, on account of the hazard in-
voleed without adequate returns,
cruised in remote waters less efficient-
ly policed. Here it was possible to
prey on the enemy's commerce while
awaiting conflict on more nearly equal
terms.
"From the first, then, the control of
the sea has been conceded to the Allies
except for the guerilla warfare of
these isolated vessels; and the first
stage of the naval warfare consisted
in clearing up the ocean of the daring
marauders who temporarily disputed
the Allied control in remote seas.
Losses Light, Considering Results.
"The completion of this task was
accomplished nob without loss to the
Allies. The principal units lost to the
British in this phase were the Good
Hope, a cruiser of 14,000 tons, the
Monmouth, a cruiser of 9,800 tons, in
Admiral Craddock's ill-fated squad-
ron on the west coast of Chili, and bile
Pegasus, a light cruiser of 2,135 tons,
sunk by the Koenigsberg at Zanzi-
bar. These naval losses inay be con-
sidered light for the results obtained.
"As the Teutons have not felt in-
clined bo major operations, the suc-
ceeding Allied operations, with one
exception, have been with the object
of restraining raids and submarine
activity. The exception consists of
the Dardanelles campaign, where sec-
ond line or predreadnought battleships
were employed out of their normal
sphere to reduce fortifications which
subsequent events proved were more
capable of•resistance than anticipated.
A modern vessel, the Queen Elizabeth,
was frequently mentioned in the bom-
bardments that occurred; but it is
probable that owing to the range of
her 15 -inch guns it was not necessary
and presumably never intended that
she should come within range of the
forts, or that she should be exposed
to the floating mines and possible tor-
pedo attack in the straits.
"Of these vessels engaged within
the danger zone, the Allies lost heav-
ily. The battleships Irresistible,
Ocean, Goliath, Triumph, Majestic,
Bouvet and Leon Gambetta were the
major snits lost; but the losses also
included a number of submarines and
• t
1 ar13[f01 S,
"From the experience gained in this
adventure it is extremely unlikely that
important ships will be jeopardized in
similar campaigns.
"The Allies' problem, henceforbh,
became one of repressing an German
naval activity. This took two forms,,
one, the raid in force, the other, the'
war of attrition by the sowing of
mines and torpedoing by submarines,
Second Raid in Force.
"The second raid in force, with a
squadron of powerful high-speed bat-
tle cruisers and cruisers, encountered
Admiral Beatty's battle cruiser squad-
ron. This resulted in the loss of the
Blucher and serious injuries to other
German vessels.
"'Important injuries occurred to
the British vessels, notably the battle
cruiser Lion, in this engagement, but
the damage inflicted upon the enemy
raiders was sufficient to prevent a re-
currenco of raids by seen up to the
present time of writing. In this in-
stance important results were accom-
plisher] without loss of vessels to the
Allies.
The destruction incident to mines,
navigation and the daeigerous explo-
sives carried form an important part
of the total, and there is a part of
the unfortunate losses which must be
counted upon in the vigorous prosecu-
tion of any war. The proportion of.
this damage to bile whole is much
greater in the present war then it
would be in one where the control of
the sea was disputed, In this cate-
gory has come the principal loss of
the Allies, so far in the war, through
the sinking of the dreadnought Auda-
cious off the Irish coast. The Ring
Edward, Bulwark, Natal and Bene-
detto Brim were also lost in this way.
The remaining method of harassing
the Allies, and the one that continues,
is hiccough the use of the submarine.
"Naval opinions received an impres-
sive shook when the news of the tor-
pedoing of the cruisers Hogue, Abou-
kir and Cressy was flashed round the
world. This event tiitdoubtedly molt -
fled the Allied scheme of sea patrol.

Nation of Necessity.
The cultivationof every parcel of
land in France to assure the maxi-
mum agricultural productionis the
aim of the French Government, and
to bring this about the Government
itself will act temporarily as a farmer.
A bill has been prepared under bio
direction of Jules Meline, Minister of
Agriculture, requesting the owners of
uncultivated land to begin tillage
within two week after notice.
• If land is nob cultivated withiln the
time specified the hill provides that
mayors of communities have the right
to requisition the ground and order
its cultivation, the towns to assure
the funds necessary to carry on this
work, The bill further provides for a
municipal or ,00 agricultural commit-
tee to supervise the cultivation of
such land.
Minister Melina says that there has
been a del -licit in grains of 10 per
centein 1915, as compared with 1914.
The minister declares that there is
nob a minute to be lost if France
does not want to be surprised by de-
velopments and exposed to the possi-
bility of arriving too late on the
economic battlefield.
GERMAN VALOR A MYTH.
Officers Appointed Without Reference
To Their Courage.
As a result of a series of cross ex-
aminations of German prisoners, a re-
cent issue of the Journal des Debats,
of Paris, prints the following article
on actual conditions of the Germau
army :—
"In regard to the bravery and valor
of the German officers, the- prisoner
declares that the appointments• of the
assists officers from the volunters
takes pace without in any way tak-
ing into account the actual courage
and bravery of the candidates. In
i fact, the greater part of the officers
thus chosen are notorious for their
cowardice. As soon as a bombard-
ment starts they quickly seek shelter,
The patrols, of which from time to
time they form a part, never venture
very far.
"The prisoner, who on several oc-
casions had served on one of these
patrols, said that they had always
come to an early halt on the pretext
that it would be useless to continue
further. Especially ,rya this true on
one occasion in the vicinity of Hill No,
69, just south of Ypres. An officer had
barely reached the outskirts of the
German barbed wire entanglements,
when he proposed to return to head-
quarters and give an account of some
fantastical observations that they
would have made up and agreed upon.
Of course this patriot received an
Iron Cross.

not escape the observation oe the priv-
ates.."—(From

ates:"—(From au examination of a

A GREAT MILITARY POWER.
French Tribute to the British Army
and Navy.
In the course of a leading article
under the title "British Evolution"
the Paris Temps says:
"Britain, a great naval Power, finds
herself to -day a great military Power,
and it is not only the numerical
strength of her army created in the
midst of the war that excites surprise
and admiration, it is, besides, the
equipment in material- and armament
which supplies all these soldiers with
the indispensable means to turn their
natural bravery to good account."
After praising the organization of
industries connected with the war,
which, it says, extend throughout the
British Empire, the article continues:
"The effect of strengbhening the
British lines makes itself felt even in
the epic battle of Verdun by permit-
ting numerous bodies of French troops
to be spared to break the German on-
slaught without weakening any sec-
tion of the front from the North Sea
to Switzerland. The part to be taken
by the Bribish Empire in this war is
one of the surprises that the military
administration in the United Kingdon
and Colonies could not have foreseen,
and that needed a particular genius to
realize. The naval factor in this
conflict plays a part which, despite
the absence of naval combats, is not
less of capital importance in the sub-
jugation of the enemy. The British
Navy has rendered in this respect in-
calculable service."

Is War Declining?
During the nineteenth century 586
battles were fought This is exclud-
ing all the smaller engagements,
which, if reckoned along with the rest,
bring the total to 8,102 --that ia, 81
battles per year, or a. fraction over
one and a half every week during the
full handred years. Our battlegrounds
were spread over the following nine-
teen countries: France, India, Austria,
Russia, Belgium, Egypt, America,

NEW POSTMASTER -GENERAL.
Two Pease in the British Post Office
Department
The fact that Mr It., J. Pease has
been appointed BritishPostmaster-
General in succession to Mr, Herbert
Samuel, where he will be assisted by
hhe cousin, Mr. H. Pike Pease, who is
assistant RM,O., has led to the an-
nouncement that there are now "Two
Pease in the P.O.D." (Post Office De-
partment,)
It is a curious foot that the two
cousins sit on opposite sides of the
House of Commons, for while Mr. J.
A. Pease is the Liberal M,P. for
Rotherham, his cousin is Unionist
member for ,Darlington,
J. A. Pease, M.P.
As a sportsman and. athlete, Mr. J.
A. Pease won many honors, He play-
ed football and polo for Cambridge,
where he won his rugger "blue," was
master of the 'Varsity staghoends, and
has also captained the Durham
County cricket eleven. His political
career began when he was 82. He en
terecl parliament for the Tyneside
Division in 1892, and represented that
constituency until 1900, when he was
defeated. In 1901 he re-entered the
House as member for Saffron Walden,
where he was defeated in January,
1910, and three months later was re-
turned for the Rotherham Division of
Yorkshire,
Commonly known be his fellow M.
P.'s as "Jack," though his name is
Joseph, Mr. Pease retired from the
Cabinet on the formation of the Coal -
Mien Government, having held the
'post of president of the Board of
Education from 1911-15. He was for
years one of the Liberal whips, and,
as such was popular on both sides of
the House. In connection with his
duties as a whip, Mr. Pease tells a
good story.
At an all-night sitting he thought
that a certain M.P. was absent. He
was really present in every division,
but at other times he was asleep in
one of the recesses. Mr. Pease miss-
ed him and sent a telegram to his
house at seven in the morning: "Come'
down at once to relieve guard." The
member tuned up at his own house!
at eigbt o'clock, fully expecting to
receive a warm welcome from his
wife and mach sympathy for having
been in the House all night. But she
said, "Where have you been?" He
replied, "All-night sitting in - the
House." She retorted, "Now, it's no
use you telling me such a thing," and
thereupon produced the telegram
signed "Pease." This Pease nearly
caused a split in that happy hone,
but after explainations "peace" reign-
ed as before.
HOW To GET UP EARLY.
Alarm Clock That Throws Man Out'
of Bed.
A remarkable clock which not only;
atvakenec1 its owner fn the morning,±
but dumped him out of bed and lit his
fire, is now in the possession of the !
Wisconsin State Historical Society'si
Museum at Madison,
The clock was the property of the
late Mr. John Muir, the eminent
naturalist and explorer, who made it
himself when he was at Wisconsin l
University and found it hard to wakes
early after late nights.
He made a bed of pine boards with i
three legs, two at the head and one
at the foot. The leg at :the foot was
so made that if a peg was released
the bed would drop to an angle of 45
degrees, A strong cord, fastened to
the peg, led to the clock. Ott the end
of the cord near the clock was a large
stone.
Before Mr. Muir retired the cord
was attached to the clock, and at
five the clock would do its work.
While teaching in a country school-
house be used the 'clock to start a
fire before he arrived at school. The
clock upset a ,tube of sulphuric acid
into a mixture of chlorate of potash
and sugar placed under the firewood
the night before, Instant combustion
took place.

Golden Text : Rom, 10: 12.
'Verse 26, 'Sirorsbipped—Wlr110 the
word does not in itself imply more
than reverence paid to a superior by
prostration, it Is clear that no Homan
noncommissioned officer' would have
behaved thus to a Galilean fisherman:
Peter's interpretation of the act was
perfectly correct.
26. Even au angel similarly re-
pudiated such worship (Rev, 22. 9),
The lowly Jesus accepted it (Matt. 8,
2, etc.).
28. Unlawful—According to the
rabbis, who had added this and many
other far-reaching novelties to the
Law, liven to come unto a Gentile
was forbidden, not to speak of •close
intimacy (join himself), And yet—
The
etThe latter word has no right in the
text; see the paraphrase above. Any
man stands M a very emphatic place
at the end, Peter has learnt the les-
son Paul expounds in Co. 3, 11, Yel-
low, brpwu, or black men—to moder-
nize his words—must be regarded by
Christians as simply Hien, and there-
fore brothers, Common—Compare
Sark 7, 2. It is the antithesis of
consecrated. There is a scavenger
class in Benares, the Doms, for whom
Hinduism has no temple that will ad-
mit them, though one shrine these will
admit a dog. Christianity came and
took them all in; and at least one Dom
is to -day a Christian preacher.] The
holy of holies is open to every sharer
in that humanity'whlch Christ put on:
"God cleansed" (verse 15) all man-
kind potentially by the incarnation.
30. Four days ago—We say three,
for the ancients counted in the first
and last days, and we do not, Sup-
pose Cornelius speaking on a Friday
afternoon: his vision was thus on
Tuesday. The ninth hour—Except in
the Fourth Gospel onty the third,
sixth, and ninth hours are mentioned
in. the New Testament•, with the
in the New Testament, with the
eleventh for a special purpose. They
are absolutely vague, and are best
rendered by forenoon, noon, and after-
noon, Only the observant John
speaks of hours that needed a sundial
to fix them. The three prayer times
are those implied in the psalmist's
Evening and morning and at noon will
I pray," -
81. Thy prayer—The petition just
offered. Thine alms—The practice o1
charity, the motive of which God
could read; apply Matt. 6. 3, 4, and
remember that the American Version
openly there is spurious.
32. In the sight of God, as in verse
31, makes all human witness pass into
forgetfulness. The Lord, on the lips
of the still unevangelized Roman,
means Jehovah.
44. It is of course implied that this
company of earnest seekers—Jews 10
faith because they knew nothing bet-
ter—accepted the Gospel of which
Peter's presentation has just been
summarized. Note Peter's statement
in Acts 11. 15, that he had hardly more
than begun.
45. Was poured out—So in Acts 2.
33. The gift—A recurrent term. See
specially Heb, 6. 4, and Acts 8. 20,
We find its source in the Master's own
word, Luke 11. 13. How appropriate
is that verb that speaks of the lavish
profusion of Him who "glveth not the
Spirit by measure" 1 Joel 2, 28 might
have taught these Jewish Christians
to be so surprised.
46. Speak with tongues—See Les
son Text Studies for January re Of
course this was only the "outward
and visible sign of an inward and
spiritual grace"; the overflowing
ecstasy of a Divine possession pro-
duced these snatches of praise.
47 The greater has been given—
boa' could prejudice itself refuse the
less ? See Acta 1. 5, quoted when
Peter defends bineself in Acta 11, 16.1
Notice how there Peter emphasize the
overwhelming predominance of Divine
agency: a few words from the mes-
sager who had come so far were quite
enough, This verse should be re-
membered when eccesastioal pedants
would tie the Holy Spirit to sacra-
ments and orders and red tape gen-
erally. "The fruits of the Spirit" are

IS A MARVEL OF
ORGANIZATION
AN AMERICAN'S OPINION OF
THE BRITISH ARMY,
Correspondent Says It Is Becoming
Mightier Hourly for the,
„Great Puslt."
The New York Herald correspond-
ent in London cables to that pupal.' as
follows:
"I have just returned from a five
days' trip to the British front in
France and Flanders, during which I
was permitted, through the courtesy
of the British Government, to pass
through and along the battle lines
from a village near Nouve Chapelle
to a point overlooking the trenches,
where the gallant Canadians are ce-
!meetI meeting the Union of the Empire
ing
the blood of their heroes.
"I have heard the shriek over my
head in places where Biibain's gun-.
ners are returning two 'tits' for each
German `tat'; I have glowed with re-
flected enthusiasm as I gazed upon
Britain's soldiers marching on the
roads and over the fields of France,
high spirited and hopeful, toward
batblefields upon which the destinies
of the world are to be decided, and I
have raised my hat in solemn homage
to thousands of wasted, war worn,
wounded 'Tommies,' each of whom,
having done a man's full share in
the 'Great Adventure; is returning
confident that those who follow after
him will wrest final victory from the
foe.
Britain and France United.
"My journey to the front was made
while the issue oe the great battle at
Verdun was he the balance ---it may
still be -and when all the thoughts
of Britain's army were with, and its
prayers for, the success of General
Joffre's gallant French, and my thrills
over a few shells that burst within
my line of vision or far over 'my
head seem ludicrous when I have had
time to read and digest the news of
the fateful happenings near the gate-
way of Lorraine that leads to Paris.
"But though that titanic conflict
overshadows the sounds of war that
grated upon my untrained ears, I feel
certain that readers will be inter-
ested in the news that I bring as the
result of my observations,
"First—That France and Great
Britain are indissolubly united as a
result of their joint sacrifices.
"Second—That the soldiers of the
French and British armies, from the
generalissimos down to 'Tommy' 'and
the Toile,' are sworn friends,
For the "Final Push."
"Third—That the British army to-
day is a mighty machine, becoming
mightier hourly, a marvel of effi-
ciency, and that behind it, as it con-
tinues to grow, move forward and
fight, is an amazingly scientific or-
ganization, developed in less than
twenty months, which provides the
best of foodstuffs for the inner man
and warm clothing and all other es-
sentials for the outer man, the while
it is ever forwarding troops, guns,
munitions and other accessories
against that great hour when the
final 'great push' comes that will
end the year.
NEW MAP OF EUROPE.
Royal Geographical Society Has Much
Work To Do.
The Royal Geographical Society in
London is a hive of industry these
days, not in the ordinary way as one
of the conservative old British insti-
tutions for scientific research, but as
part of the war machine—making
maps of the rapidly shifting geo-
graphy of Europe, supplying the War
Office and the Admiralty with geo-
graphical data, and maps worked out
with scientific minuteness on land
and water routes, topography, moun-
tain passes and all the details which
the military strategists must have.
The scientific geographers are
thinking ahead to the time for ".fram-
ing and dictating terms of peace,"
when bile neap of Europe will be
made over again and new boundaries
laid down—a stupendous work con-
sidering the vast areas of territory
which has shifted through military
occupation, and which ultimately will.
have to be settled as temporary or
permanent at a peace congress—the
fronts 111 Russia, France, Italy, Atte-
brie, the Balkans, Central and East
Africa, Persia and the Pacific islands
and parts,
De. Keitie, secretary of the Royal
Society and the administrative direc-
tor of the institution, said it wag
quito too soon yet to outline the so-
called "new map of Europe." The
areas of occupation were indefinite
and constancy sbifthig, and it re-
mains to be seen whether recognized
and established political boundaries
of the past are to be changed per-
manently, as it requires something
more than military occupation to
change them.
