A despatch from London says:--- Eight members, of the 'National Com- mittee of the No Conscription Fe11ow ship were arraigned in the Mansion House Police Court on Wednesday under the defence of the realm act in connection with the publication of a pamphlet demanding the repeal of the compulsory, military service act. This pamphlet affirmed the determination of the 'committee to resist the act, saying: "We cannot assist in a war which to us is wrong, which the peo- ples do not seek, which will be impos- sible only when men who so believe remain steadfast to their convictions:" Each defendant was fined the maxi- mum penalty, $500, with $50 costs, 37,000 TURK PRISONERS TAKEN BY RUSSIANS.

Not Instinctive With the Human Race a Scientist Asserts. One who has seen young children playing with snakes, even with rattle- snakes, may well be skeptical about . i an instinctive horrorof serpents, says - "-)• Tullius Henderson, in Science. Mothers in some regions have found it advisable to deliberately teach their children to fear snakes in order to prevent them front handling the dangerous species. In other cases the fear probably comes from asso- elation with those who had acquired the serpent horror. On the other hand, there are many boys and men and some women, who seem to be quite' devoid of any such horror. The argument that one unexpectedly brought into close proximity to ithy kind of snake "is suddenly seized with a panic of horror and fear" has very little weight, because ib is not universally so, and the same is usual- ly the case when one is brought sud- denly into closer i p ox maty with al- most any kind of an animal. Does woman's proverbial fear of a mouse indicate an instinct engendered by ancestral residence in. a region where. such small animals were dangerous? Many beginners• in biology exhibit as much horror of a worm or a cater- pillar, ie proportion to ibs size as of a serpent. ALLIES TAKE STEPS TO FEED THE POLES. A despatch from London 'says: Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade and Blockade, in an interview on Wednesday night announces that the allies have taken steps to feed the Belgians, Poles and Serbs. "It is un- questionably the duty of Germany to do this; said he, "but as it has been r. neglected, the allies have undertaken e steps, although the task is not obli- - gatory on their path. The German militarists will regard contemptuously the allies' proceedings, but the latter ' are not prepared, even for military reasons, to seethePoles starved to death by the Germans. We hear of women and children perishing by the wholesale, and even of grown men dropping dead of hunger in the streets." COMPULSION BILL PASSES IN BRITISH COMMONS. A despatch from London says: The compulsion bill passed its third read- ing in the House of Commons on Tues- day.by a vote of 250 to 35. The compulsion bill was introduced by Premier Asquith in the House of Commons on May 2 last. It becomes effective a month after its passage. The Government is authorized by the measure to call to the colors all males, whether married or single, between the ages of eighteen and forty-one The bili also provides for the estab lishmeet of an army reserve for in- dustrial work, be which the Govern- ment may assign as many men as in- dustrial conditions demand, _ ' ASK DOMINION PREMIERS TO SETTLE 3R:ISH TROUBLE. A despatch from London says: One of the suggestions for dealing with the Irish problem which has gained many supporters in the past few days is for the appointment of a Commis- sion to arrange a setblement, the mem- bers of which will include Premier Borden of Canada, Premier Hughes of Australia, and Promier. Botha of South Africa. Discussing this pro- posal The Chronicle says editorially: "The settlement of the hrish question is not only a matter of great moment, but also a condibion precedent to any scheme of Imperial federation. There is thus a double reason for the co- operation of the Dominion Premiers." Sonne people seem byintuiti.oi t to tree only truth and right; others must need work out their faith by failure and sorrow. t SON OF LADYSMITH IT D DEFENDER D R TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ODY Tried to Induce Aberdare Miners to Strike if Rebel Leader Connolly Was E*ecuted. A despatch from London says: James White, son of the• late Field Marshal, and formerly a captain in . the army, was remanded to custody at Aberdare on Wechtesday on the charge of making statements likely to cause disaffection and prejudice in cotlit?ection with recruiting. The prosecution describes White as lit "dangerous character," and claimed that it was able,to prove that he event to Aberdare bo induce miners"to strike if John Connolly, the rebel lead- er, was executed.. Documents feline' in the possession of the prisoner proved it is charged, that he was consorting with the enemies of Great Britain. White has figured previously in con- nection with the agitation carried on by Jitn Larkin, who organized the street car strike of 1913, RUSSIAN TROOPS MARCH IN MARSEILLES :�Mk..H'4�' OW.

ALLIED SUBMARINES IN BALTIC SUNK THREE GERMAN SHIPS Sea is Now Ice Free and Activity on Part bf'iinder is Renewed. espatch from London says: A large number of Russian and British submarines are operating in the east- ern and southern portions of the Bal. tieSea, which is now ice -free. The German steamer Hera, 4,750 tons, was sunk on Thursday morning off Landsort, in the Baltic. Reports confiiob as to 'whether a British or Russian submarine sank the vessel. The Hera left Stockholm on Tuesday to take iron ore to Oxloesund, carry- ater Craft ing a cargo of 2,000 tons. ].ler cap- i tarn was ordered on board the sub- marine with the ship's papers, and made prisoner. Sufficient time was given the crew to leave the ship, Al- though the weather. was rough, all on board were saved. The sinking of two other German steamships by a submarine, believed to be a Russian, is reported in a Reu- ter despatch from Stockholm. The steamships were the Kolga, Hamburg for Stockholm, and the Bianca, ------------ FAIL TO BREAK VERDUN LINE Germans Make Another At- tempt on Hill 304 Front. A despatch from Paris says: An- other attempt was made by the Ger- mans on Thursday afternoon to break through the French line on the Bois d'Avocourt-Hill 304 front, on the west bank of the Mouse. The French trenches,were subjected to the usual violent preparatory bombardment be- fore the German infantry left its trenches, but the moment the attack was launched the French fire -curtain was thrown out and the mibrailleuses were brought into action, checking the Germans, apparently with heavy losses before they had reached the French positions. The German artil- lery is still continuing its bombard- ment in this sector, indicating a prob- ability that further attacks are to be launched. The French guns are re- plying.

A despatch from Geneva says: German soldiers along the Swiss- Alsabian frontier, chiefly elderly men of the Landsturm,ltave begun to ask food. from the, Swiss ;soldiers. The Germans say they have not eaten meat for weeks. ;Five German soldiers in uniforin, althougli fired upon, escaped• across the Swiss fl'onlier at Rodoldorf; near Basel on Tuesday. They were in- terned at Berne. The Neuo Stuttgarter Zeibiing says the food situation in Rhine towns is becoming intolerable. The newspaper advises the Government to take Bras: tic measures to change the mode of living of the people. It suggests that cooking in private families be prohib- iced, and that the population be order- ed to eat' in common at'restaurants, where meat would be served once daily, at noon, and only vegetables in the evening. Eighteen "German cabtle dealers ar- rived in Basel on Tuesday hoping to buy cattle, which are becoming MYSTERY OF THE span'.

He shook his head.
