They are, and they aro not, the, colors and shading are identical, the only difference, however, is an impor- tant ono, for a Mons hero wears a blue, white and red ribbon and the Canuck turns his rightside up and wears a red, white and blue ribbon. The correct custom, an Imperial sol- dier says, is to wear the service but- ton on the right-hand side of the coat. If relatives of a deceased soldier wear the latter's decorations of valor their ribbons should be worn on the left side.

They frank- ly admit they miss the companionship of the army, the lack of resporseibility and the easy hours. Now that the war is over the army is resting on its laurels, and in the great camps around England "work" is confined to ono hour's parade a day, with football games, paper chase and other sports to fill in the remainder of the time. That is a considerable contrast to eight or nine hours of monotonous toil in a shop or factory. The array authorities have not so far made public any figures on re- cruiting, but some indication is offer- ed by the experience of two battalions in one of the largest camps in the south of England. In one unit, where all the men had seen service overseas, more than 200 re-enlisted in less than two weeks. In the other, an "A4" bat- talion, made up of boys under mili- tary age, more than 300 took the oath in the same period, a large number for the regulation period of twelve years. NAVAL FORCESIN COMMAND British Control the Situation itt the Caspian Sea. Naval forces under British com- mand now dominate the satiation in the Caspian Sea, according to official information secured by Reuters, Ltd. For soma months past there have been naval forces on this sea, the of- ficial account states. They were originally sent to prevent the Bolshe- vists from controlling the situation. This naval force seized certain armed steamships, which now are manned by Russisn crews, which marched up by land from Mesopotamia with a British force as a nucleus. These steamers are commanded by British naval officers. The original Russian flotilla in the Caspian, it is added, consisted of two gunboats, two dispatch vessels and three steamers. These also have just been taken over by tho British -Rus- sian naval forces.

The secret of success in washing chamois and doeskin .gloves lies in using lukewarm or cool water -bet- ter cool than even a few degrees too warm. That, at least, is one of the sec- rets; the other is to use soapy water. The soapier the water, providing it is of the right temperature, the silkier and softer the gloves will be. They should first bo freed from all dirt in a soapy bath in order that they may be rinsed :from the dirt set free. They should then be pressed and squeezed in a thick towel until they are free from soap and water as near- ly as possible. Then they are ready to be hung to dry in a cool -dry place. Never hang them near a fire and never hang them in the eunshine if you would have them soft and pliable after laundering.
