Hotel, a two-storey brick and fraine
structure in the Riverside district,
north of the Bow River, was attalked
by a crowd of about 500 soldiers and
civilians and 'thoroughly wrecked.
The windows were' smashed, frames
and all, and most of the furniture
pitched out into the snow, where is
Was broken to bits by the shouting
crowd. The bar`was raided and tate

ers, who' speedily grew to about 2,000
strong, at least half being civilians;
and under the influence.of the liquor
orgy of wild destruction followed. The
building was reduced to a mere shell.

EMPTY SCHOOLS
IN ENGLAND
HERE IS SHOWN THE TRAGEDY
•'OP WAIL:
'rife Students Have Gone Forth to
Fight the Battles of
Liberty,.
The actual battle line in this great:
struggle is scarcely 100 miles, away,
but in Londbn on rets 1 the touch
of the teal tragedy of it, writs Philip
H. Pateti11, in the Chicago Herald,
In the street, there ,are many 'sol-.
tiferr„ .often one sees wounded men
strolling _about in the loose blue
hospital unifo nswith flaming red
cravats or being driven : about
motor cars . or carriages by kind wo-
men, hut .these men of battle are a
jolly lot and they clo not bring home
the tragedy of it all.
England! suffers, but her wounds
are not open ones, like those of Bel-
gium. But there aro evidences of
what it all means and how vital it
is. A few days ago I was taken to
Cambridge University by a don of
one of the colleges there. There the
truth came home. There was 'the
evidence -the proof of what England
was doing.
Town is Deserted.
Beautiful Cahbridgel The ancient
cradle of British learning is deserted.
Streets, • courts, and buildings that
should be echoing the glad ring of'
college' life are, empty. - The thou-
sands of young.Britons who should
be there are gone,. departed to: the
four quarters of the Globe, to fight
in England's, numerous wars -in
Flanders, in the near 'east, Africa,
Mesopotamia,
It is like an American University
summer -deserted; but with a
difference. There are enough stu-
dents 'and instructors left to make
the thing more poignant, to suggest
what was and what ought to be, and
what really is.
The presence of the few, the. ab-
sence of the many -it strikes one
with dreadful force.
In. all Cambridge University, in
the - various colleges that make up
the whole, there should bo 4,000
undergraduates. There. are 600. The
rest of these boys, many of them
barely of military age, are in khaki.
Many of them are dead.
Buildings Are Quaint.
On this clay I had visited half a
dozen of the famous colleges of
Cambridge -Corpus, Trinity, Christ's,
Jesus', King's -beautiful old world
places, entrancing in their antiquity,
splendid in their architecture, but
best in their atmosphere of British
breeding -of things clean and fine.
And as we walked on from one
place to another, in grandeur mixed
with antiquity and quaintness, the
place was empty, No punts on the
am, no undergraduates strolling
bout -athletic fields showing dis.
se. We went into the buildings-
ntpty. Gate porters let us in here
and there., They were the only people
we saw. Windows closed everywhere
and everywhere silence.
What classes there are :ire sparse
in numbers. One of the masters of
a leading college said the other day
that he has one lecture where his
class consists of a solitary student,
and he is an Indian. But the lecture
goes on, this master solemnly de-
livering it to his single student.
WAR MACHINE I5 GROWING.
Britain's Strength Most Alarming
Feature to Germany. '
England's war -machine is mount-
ing up; every day that passes adds
to its size. There you have the
thing that frightens Germany most,
writes M. Andre Chevrillbn in the
"Revue de Paris." She is now at
the height of her effort; she is still
capable of hurting, but the wear and
tear on her resources is now visible
in everything. Her human fuel is
running out at a terrifying rate, and
its quality is- going down; it is pos-
sible to calculate the date when the
actual shortage .will begin. Mean-
while, England's strength is only in
process of being got together -silent-
ly, without vain words; and this si-
lence,.as anyone who knows England
can say, is far more disturbing than
all the German tumult of hate.
The fourth million of men is being
prepared. Strange, ridiculous, "ama-
teurish" -in such terms may the
professionals of Germans have dis-
missed the Derby. scheme. 'What do
they think to -day of its success? At
the moment, when four. -fifths of their

Categorical Accounts of Angelic
Hosts Appearing at Bhttles
in Flanders.
The story of the appearance of
angels at the battle of Mons which
appears to have had its genesis in
a purely imaginative description by
a newspaper writer of the old eng-
lish bowmen coming to the help of
their countrymen has travelled the
length of precise statement and dir-
ect evidence.
In the small religious paper "Co
fidence, , published in Sunderlan
England, testimony is given by "P

J. G. Davies of the K. R. R. is a

Angelic Forms.
The following were some of th
questions submitted to Pte. Easy an
his answers:
Can you describe the angel form
as to color, size, number and th
length of this line of angels?"
"They were a pretty white in color
bigger than the average man; four o
five in number; they reached acres
the street,"
"Did you look hack when retiring
and did you still see them? How
long did they remain there? DM
they follow you?"
"They did not follow us. We look-
ed back twice.Thefirst
time they
were still there. The second time
they were gone as suddenly as they
appeared."
Faced the Enemy.
"Were their faces toward you or to-
ward the enemy?"
"They had' their faces toward the
enemy."
Pied they swords in their hands?
Did they.move their arms?"
"I did not see anything in their
hands; They did not move their arms
backward and forwards,"
"Did you see their' races or hair?"
"I did not see their faces or hair,"
"Did the Germans seem to see'
them' ?s'
"We could not see•anythingr beyond
the angels."
"Was it broad daylight when you
saw them? What sort of weather?
in Broad Daylight.
It was a beautiful- sunny after'-
noon in August."
"Did the other men who were near
you see them also?"
"No one could help but see them,
who was there."
"What did any of them say at the
time•or afterward?"
"I said when we were retiring
that they were angels and no' one
contradicted me. It was often dis-
cussed rftcrwards."
"Arc 'iiy of yowr comrades alive

He gives the following answers to
e questions put in regard to his
perienees:
"When did the asrgcls appear?"
"As I can remember it was Octo-
re2nd when I saw the host of
gala at St. Jean (Ypres)."
"How did they arrive?"
"They came from a very high dis-
nee and they lowered themselves
us within a visible sight, then
ey went upwards until we lost sight
them."
,,Could you see them plainly?"
"I could see them quite plainly
and they had faces of men and wo-
men."
"Which way were their faces turn-
ed?"
"They faced us and the enemy."
"What time was it'in the day?"
"It was about ,I2.80 in the morn-
ing„
"What was the weather? Were
shells bursting at he time?"
"It was not cloudy and the' shel-
ling had just ended."
"How did the men take it?"
Men Maid.
"The men feared very much. Five
have been killed since."
"How long did the vision last?"
"The sight of the host lasted for
quarter of an hour a1
h q td they went
upwards quickly."
"When. did this vision of the angel
with the trumpet take place?"
"At Lebricl: at nine o'clock, the
7th December."
"How far off did the angel appeal
to be?"
"The angel was about twenty yards
away and I heard the
voice which

and it weakened away! then -I heard
the words were 'destruction.' destruc-

RUSSIANS HURL
i
NEW- ONSLAUGHT
Promises to. Extend to the General
Initiative Along the Whole
Line.
A despatch :from Petrograd. says:
Although a general revival of activity
is offtc0Ully reported along the entire
Russian front the only. developments
of more than local and temporary
importance aro the Russian avdance
in the Stripa region, soutiir-east of Ise
broil', where the Russians succeeded
in capturing heights commanding the
district in which runs the main, rail -
111y line between the Chodorov and
Slay rivers, and the occupation by the .
Russians of the heights east 01!Tche-
merine, -
The progress in the latter district,
which is between Kovno and Lutsk,.
is another sign of the resumption of
the 'Russian offensive, which came to
an abrupt halt a month ago, when the
Germans apparently succeeded in
erecting such firm fortifications that
further attempts at an advance on
the part of the Russians became a
waste of energy and ammtion.
It is considered significantunithat a
now and more formidable Russian of-
fensive is being launched against tette
same positions, and with initial suc-
cesses. This is explained by most of
the military obserers as due to the
new power and effectiveness of the
Russian artillery, which recently has
shown marked improvement on all
fronts,
The Germans, evidently surprised
by the fierceness of the new Russian
onslaught, which promises to extend
to a general initiative along the whole
line, have been forced at several
points in Galicia to retire: to their
second line of defence.
The Czar has arrived at the front.
