THE "SAPP
AND THEIR WORK
ff
FOUNDATION ON WHICH THE
ARMY STRUCTURE RESTS,
The Royal Engineers of Britain Are
Trained Bombers and All -
Round Men.
Their official name is "Royal En-
gineers," They claim to date from
William the Conqueror and to be very
dignified, but whenever a job has to
be' done at the front and no one else
can handle it, the word is always,
"Leave it to the sappers," And al-
ways the sappers do the job.
Next time you see a war -film, or a
series of wax pictures, pay particular
attention to the machinery, the trans-
port columns, the wagons, trench
tools, barbed wire, telephones, water
tanks, huts,lumbing (if you get a
chance to see any plumbing), signal-
ing -everything connected with phy-
sics and. manual training and elec-
tricity and chemistry. Stop to think
of the men who are doing this work.
They are the sappers.
Dull jobs, you think? Not in the
same class with the work clone by the
men who make midnight attacks,
bayonet in hand, or who fight for
their lives 10,000 feet above the
ground?

The Empire's Training School for

St. Dunstan's Hostel, in Regent's

of Sir Arthur Pearson • (himself..

of the last report, March 31, 1917, the

BRITISH PEERAGES,
Eight peerages of the United King-
dom are in peril of extinguishment,
writes the London correspondent of
the New York Sun. No fewer than
120 sons ofeers have been killed in
the war, sixty-two of them heirs to
titles. Not all, of course, were only
sons, so that not all the titles are in
menace. Before the war's end, with-
out doubt, there will be other casual-
ties in noble families, other threats
ofrtile extinction of titles.
Se a weekly newspaper declares,
"measures must be taken to con-
tinue" the peerage whose extinction
is threatened. Probably there will
be; the Englishman's love of a lord
is getting to be more than a tradition
and a sarcasm ;for the noble houses
have contributed magnificently of
their sons in the fight for the nation's
life. The Upper Chamber is an array
of mourning these days, and it ap-
peals more strongly to the sentiments
and sympathies of the country than
in many decades.
When a, hereditary peerage con-
fronts extinction by reason of the
failure of male issue it comes within
the prerogative of the Crown to de-
termine whether it may be continued
through the -female line, The royal
assent has been granted in many
cases; it is customary, in fact, when
the title is sufficiently old and rev

SAVE THE CHILDREN
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones ore
