The estimated cost of what WAS robommended was for the cur- rent year, 843,000,000.

ONE OF 6 GREATEST GENERALS Gen. Haig Infallible Leader in Most Glorious Campaign of History. In connection with Field Marshal ISaig's transfer from command of the British army on the continent to command the home forces, the Lon- don Times , prints an appreciative article recognizing both his failures and successes. "Field Marshal Haig," says the article, "probably fought more bat- tles than any ,British general who has ever lived, and their magnitude dwarfs everything in our military history. Waterloo would have been a mere combat if it had figured in the catalogue of his engagements, and his battles wefre, on the whole, singularly successful. 'His best things were done at the beginning and at the end of the war. The conduct of the retreat from Mons was above praise, and it should' never be forgotten that his was the distinction of that greatest and nar- rowest of British victories, the first battle of Ypres. "In the last few months -of the war he was as infallible as the Duke of Wellington himself, and 'when their history comes to be properly written we shall hail this period as incom- parably the most glorious of our military history. "Haig must share the glory with others, but wheel all deductions have been made enough will remain to put him among the first half dozen gen- erals this country has ever produced. Mistakes he may have made, for bat - tics like Loos were premature, tie we now eee in view of the amazing strength of the,German positions, and Passehendaele 'must always be ac- counted a sone of the most tragic passages in our history." - FAMOUS PRINCESS PATS HAVE BEEN DISBANDED A despatch .from Ottawa says:- The ays:The famous Princess Patricia's Can- adian Light Infantry, Canadian Ex- peditionary Force, is no more.

Ali London went wild upon the return of the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards from the war front, Of the original unit 'which left England in 1914, only 12 fortunate men survive to take part in this memorable home -coming. None of the gallant _officers ere alive, their burial .-places -being chiefly Mons, The Maw, Aisne, and Ypres. BRITISH AVIATORS TO CROSS ATLANTIC A despatch from London says: - British 'avaitors are to try for a flight across the Atlantic. A secret- ly built airplane, accompanied by Harry Hawker as pilot, and Com - mender Mackenzie Grieve, 'Royal Navy, as navigator, has been shipped from England for St. John's, New- foundland, where it will start at the earliest possible moment in an at- tempt to win the Daily Mail prize of 210,000• for the first machine to ,fly across the Atlantic. The machine is a 'Sopwith two- seater biplane, with a 375 horse- power engine. The fusilage is boat - shaped, and will support the machine in the water. Pilot Hawker said he believed that the flight would occupy about 19% hours. The machine, he added, had flown 900 miles in nine'hours and five minutes on one-third of its petrol capacity, and is capable of maintain- ing a speed of 100 miles an hour for 25 hours. Harry -G. Hawker won the British Michelin prize for 1912 by a flight of eight hours and 23 minutes. He has made many long-distance flights along the British coast. He estab- lished a world's altitude record of 28,500 feet in 1916. The House of Life. Brief dweller in a world of strife, Unfriended and alone, ' I fain would build my house of life with love for corner -stone. So love shall make my house secure For shelter and for rest; Love bringeth pleasures that endure And many a cheerful guest. And thus my house of life shall be More blest than tongue can tell: 'Tis batilded for eternity And Christ in it shall dwell. .f, Fifty years ago the acreage under hops in 'Britain was 70,000 acres, in 1916 it was 31,000 acres, last year about 16,000. Swise Will 'Grant Asylum To Late AAustrian Emparor A despatch from Geneva. says: - The Swiss Government has received a formyl demand from former Eia- por.or Charles of Austria requesting permission for him to live in Switz- erland. As the allies, through Arthur J. Balfour, the Briti.=.h For- eign Secretary, when sounded on the subject' recently, made no objection to such residence, the request of Charles probably will be granted. The matter is now in the handseef the Political Department. TRAIN SERVICE PARIS TO RAGDAD Suspension Bridge to be Built Over the Bosphorus at Constantinople. A despatch from Paris says: A fast train service from Paris to Southeastern Europe to replace the famous Orient exprea-s, it became known, was discussed at a meeting this week of diplomatic representa- tives of Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Serbia, Rou- mania, Greece and, France, under the chairmanship of Albert Claveille, French Minister of Public Works.

Tl littlet f the offs POWER OF GERMANY DEFINITELY BROKEN ARMY OP 600,000 IMMOBILE, AND LACKING IN MORALE Though Defeated, Great Part of Prussians Remain Unrepentant and Still Dream of War. It is safe to say no, one in the Brit- ish army believes Germany, in a mili- tary sense, is any longer capable of taking the field against the Allies, says a war correspondent, Premier Clemcnceau's famous computation of the potential strength of the German army as 600,000 men was technically accurate, but those 600,000 no longer • BOY SCOUTS' CELEBRATION World -Chain of Bonfires to Celebrate tho Declaration of Peace. .

One of the regulations of the 'I'Irzgue' •Convention directs that all Haines and torpedoes shall be so ad - ;hunted that they can never become a permanent menace to navigation, Torpedoes must carry an automatic device of such a character that, if the torpedo misses the mark, the fir- ing mechanism will become inopera- tive; and mines mast'be`so construc- ted that if they break loose from their moorings and float to the ear - face, the firing mechanism will cease to operate: These obligations form part of a series of rules 'and regula- tions which arre designed to protect non-combatant ships, both during wartime and in the peace that fol- lows -a war. There is abundant evil - demo that the enemy failed to live up to those humane etipulations-•a fact • which is continually being brought to public attention by the los-e of merchant ships through con- tact with mines, in almost every quarter of the navdgable seas.

You usually make mat - tors worse with such equipment. Many people buy tractors or auto- lnabilee and think their trouble is over -that the machine will do every- thing under the sun ,if they will pour a little ail in this hole, a little water in that hole, and keep the fuel tanks filled 'with comparative regularity. When something goon wrong, they say, "I think she'll make it till night," or.9 believe I shall be able finish nish this field," and' so on till a perfectly good machine is ruined'. Little repairs are thus put off until a machine becomes a rattletrap. Re- pairs that do not teem to amount to much are, in the final analysis, the things that add life to the tractor, or auto, or truck, and make the money that has been invested doubly profit- able. In considering the tools you need, bear in mind the fact that high-pric- ed tools area cheap tools, and that cheap tools are high-priced make- shifts. Decide en the tools you need, buy the best that can be lead of each particular kind and then take care of them. They will last as long as you live, and will really be much less expensive than those whose finst price is low. Here are some tools you elrouid have: A pllpe-wrench large enough to handle any pipe on the motors you have. A large monkey -wrench cap- able of handling the heaviest nuts used en your tractor. A small mon- key -wrench that will handle the smallest nuts. A set of "S" wrenches, a oemplete set of socket -wrenches, three eeraw-drivers-large, medium, small; a combined pair of cutting. pliers and tweezers, a pair of round - One of /the stipulations lof the armistice called for the full disclos- ure by Germany of all the plans, charts, etc„ showing the location and extent of the areas which she had mined during the war; and in the intervening months since the armia- tice allied mine -sweepers have been engaged in removing these obateue- tions. In view of the disorganization of their navy during the latter part of the war, it is doubtful if the Ger- man Admiralty accurately charted the mined areas, and this must Ibe particularly true of the work done which probably had a rov- ing eon'im'ission to drop their eggs wherever the individunl commander had opportunity for undisturbed op- eration. But oven if the German Admiralty has accurate charts of its own mine fields, the complete removal of these would not mean that the seas have been rid of this deadly peril.

The ruthless mehods of a can of shellac and some insulated sea warfare followed by the enemy included 'a total neglect of this pre- caution, with the result that heaven alone knows how many mines are floating on the surfec of the sea that require only a touch from a passing ship to detonate them. Keep a Sharp Outlook. For these reasons we think that for some time to come shipping should continue to use the protective mea= sures which proved so effective dur- ing the war, particularly when they are passng through waters such as those lying off our own coast and those of Europe where the enemy mine -layers were most active during the war. Many merchant skippers are alive to the danger and are act- ing accordingly. The captain of a freight ship informs us that, 011±0 clear of the harbor entrance of an American port, he throws overboard his paravanes and does not take them in until he is well out to sea.; and that, an approaching has Euro- pean port, or destination, he makes a point of dropping them overboard again. How long the peril will con- tinue cannot be conjectured; but it will be remembered that over a year after the close of the Russo-Japanese war a merchant ship was sunk in the eastern waters of the Pacific by a mine which had broken- adrift during or subsequently to tine naval opera- tions of the war.' For a long time to corse it will be the duty of the watch to keep a sharp outlook for this deadly peril, of the sea.

Every unit ]n the United Itingdam will light a bon- fire onfire to blaze forth the glad tidings. The boys want to make the cele- bration Empire -wide. The British Overseas Club and the Patriotic Lea- gue have communicated with over- seas branches asking all willing to co-operate to get in touch with them at Aldwych, London, England. There is talk of a boys' bonfire in every town and city in Canada, a pec- uliarly appropriate form of celebra- tion, since this was in former cen- turies the chosen means of communi- cating great news, whether of na- tional danger or national victory. ale. The volunteer battalions re- cently organized were to be sent to join these armies, but were found to be unable to proceed from lack of greatcoats, and the whole system of ordnance, commissariat and trans- port seems disorganized. Not Genuinely Reformed. Undoubtedly a large part of the military caste still dream's of a fu- ture war which will reverse the ver- dict of this one, and it would be rash to believe any considerable part of the German people are really in their hearts repentant and honestly re- formed. But I do not believe any- where eny illusion exists •as to the immediate future or any hope .of be- ing able to renew the war against the Entente. The only national enemy now is Bolshevism, of which, beyond doubt, the German popple as a whole are terribly afraid. It is in the areas occupied by Allied troops alone that any sense of security exists. CUM MANDER FRO&I PALEfa.LIPll: HAS A 1C1t1VED IN YAlilti A despatch from Paris says:-• Gcmt. E. II. II.

Many other tools are useful. A. small breast -drily is almost indis- . pensable and a bat -stock with a num- ber of twist drills is essential; in con- nection with these drills there sliouid be reamer's and counter -sinks. You will need a hack saw, and a screw- elotter to fit the hack sate frame. The screw -Blotter will save much time and trouble in slotting old screws for use. A. milling tool is well worth the money. This is a large steel blade with hardened curved teeth and will cut much faster than an ordinary file -so much faster that there is hardly any comparison. Another advantage it has Is that it wall not clog, even when used to cut soft metals such as lead and aluminum. One good 'blade will last'at least two years. In making repairs it is usually best to go slow and be sure. There is -not much elasticity in cold metal. Try- ing to drill into it too rapidly is al- most sure to result in a broken part, ospecially if the part is made of cast iron. Too much force on a bolt or nut will result in stripped threads or a twisted -off bolt mead. This is especially time where a large wrench is used to tighten a small nut. The operator has a great leverage and exerts a tremendous pressure or force on the small beltbefore he realizes it.
