,. THE ART OF TATTOO
An :Ancient Catania That Has Corrie
Down to. Modern Days.
Our lighting men will come back
troth Europ.g, especially 'those of the
navy, strangely adorned :with tat -
teeing. It is bound to beeso. Sailors,
and soldiers to a less extent, have
developed this curious fad since
tirnee long prehistoric.'
Consider the jack tar for example:
One of the things he learns on enter-
ing the service is that a pig's foot
tattooed on his left instep'` will pro-
tect him from drowning. This. is
more than ordinarily important in
these days of suemarining.
The antiquity of tattooing is eve.
deuced by its; almost universal em-
ployment among: .primitive peoples,
In New Guinea the young women are
tattooed all elver their bodies, their
faces being similarly' treated after
marriage.
In the Solomon Islands a giri' 'is
not eligible for marriage unless she
has been tattooed. ,'The girls of
Borneo are thus adorned from wallet
to knees in most elaborate fashion;
likewise their hands, feet and ankles,
In, Burmah, 'under time last king,
every stale was required. by royal
edict to be tattooed-froni waist to
Mees; and it was customary for the
girls to' have their tongues tattooed
with charms.to attract the' men.
Widows in the Hawaiian Islands,
up to .very recent years, had. the
names of their dead husbands tat-
' tooed on their tongues. Egyptian wo-
men to -day have their lips pricked
blue for becomittgness. And in Yev,o,
the northermost island of the Jap-
anese archipelago, the fashion de-
mands that girls „shall greatly en-
large the apparent - _size of their
mouths by a tattooing in reed -about
' the lips.
Most retnarl:able of , all tattooers,
however, are the New Zealanders,
whose men of rank have always been
distinguished by an ornamentation of
this kind covering the.hody from head
to foot. The face, 'dng• out with
gashes inflicted by a sharn shell—the

and Won by Dominion 'Troops,
The following statement, showing
what has keen accomplished from a
military point ofview by the i)oniin-
ion since the' beginning of the war,
has jest been issued by the ,Militig^,
Department,
When Canada entered the war do
August 4, 1914, she had a permanent
force of only $.000 'men, ttncl an tae
five n Ij1tia" of 00,000. Wheal hostlll-
ties cegsed on November 11, 1918,
Canada had sent eeversets 418,980
soldiers'..
At first Canada supplied a division,:
This, teas iitareased untilbye1910 sho
had ip„Fra-rrG-an army core's of foer
divisions,• a cavalry brigade, and
numerous other services, such es' line
of communication troops, railway
troops and forestry corps. On Sept.
80, 1018, the Canadian trobps in
France numbered 156,250. The caval-
ry brigade included a strong draft
furnished by the Royal North-west
Mounted Police. ,
The Canadians engaged in the
United' Kingdom and France in ,con-
tructing and operating railway lines,
and in cutting down forests and mill-
ing the timber number about 50,000.
Of. the Royal Air Forces, some 14,-

says, it was clear -to • every thinking

On all sides, "continues the writer,
Admiral von Tirpitz was advised to
construct only submarines, but he re-
mained obstinate. On October 1
(10,16.0' eseverai .members of the
Reichstag made an earnest appeal to
the army command—not to the.naval

was issued terminating the canstruc-
tion of battleships' in order that the-
material night be used for the mak-

great a scarcity of material had ar-
isen that it became necessary to dis-
arm a number of the' battleships and
take the metal. In this manner, at

At thebegintting of this year; Capt:
Persius states, the German navy con-
sisted only of dreadnoughts, and bat-
tleships air the Heligoland, Kaiser
and Markgref types, and same new
battle cruisers. All the ships' which'
Von Tirpitz had constructed from
1897 to 1900, at a cost of influenceable
millions, had been destroyed, and the
U-boats that had been constructed
had proved unable to fight against
British warships,

Admiral von Capelle, during his
period as .head of the navy, says
Capt, Persius, constructed very few
stibrnarines, worktebeing continued
only on the construction of submar-
ines •of the large type,• but in official
quarters it was still stated that Ger-
many possessed an enormous, mint -
bee of U-boats, and that the louses
were virteally nil. ,

had 136, and itt June of the sante
year 118, according to Captain Per•
aius' figures.
Ofily a small perco ,,tagp of these
submarines were actively operating
at any given time, Captain Persius
declares. In January, 1917, for in.

per cent. were active, while 39 Iger
cent. were in .harbor, 38 per cent,
under repairs, and 20 per cent. "in-
capacitated." Submarine crews, he
says, were not sufficiently educated
and trained, and they looked with
diatrust upon the weapon. In the

difficult to get men for submarine
work, as experienced seamen looked
upon the submarine warfare a$ politi-

Captain Persius fells of the mut-

of this month when the German navy
was ordered out for attack. lead the
