2,500 DOGS OF WAR.
Obey Colhmands of the Germans by
Mouth or Pistol,
Dr. Max Osborn, the special corres-
pondent of the � r
ossische Zeitung on
the western front, contributes to that
paper an interesting narrative of Ger-
many's real dogs of war. The facts
and figures he adduces are striking
evidence of the thoroughness with
which the enemy has organized one of
the unconsidered trifles of war making
during the course of the struggle.
When the German army was mobi-
lized in July, 1914, the War Office
found that there were all told exactly
eight dogs trained for military service.
Orders were forthwith given to the
German Red. Cross Dogs Society to
train the largest possible number for
field work, with the result that to -day
(according to Dr. Osborn) there are
2,500 dogs in the various German
theatres of operation.
Many animals have been killed and
wounded and a special "military hos-
pital" for canine heroes hurt in battle
is now maintained at Jena.
Dr. Osborn describes a "dress par-
ade" of the war dogs recently held for
his edification in the Verdun district.
There were sheepdogs, Airedale ter-
riers, retrievers and pointers, each
about two years old, German sheep. f
dogs in the majority.
They have learned to obey con-
hands, given both'by word of mouth'
and pistol shots, "like Prussian in-
fantrymen." The drill which the cor-
respondent witnessed consisted of:
distinguishing the prostrate living
from figures representing dead men, 1
passing by men still able to standby)
themselves, and indicating not only!
where men were lying down but lean -1
ing in a state of semi -collapse or alt.
ting up.
"And, best of all," concludes Dr.
Osborn's tribute to the dogs of war,
"they are serving . the ]Fatherland un-
selfishly, without hope of either pro-
motion or decorations,"

Combined Land and Sea Attack From the Gulf of Riga and
Across the Dylan.
A despatch from London says: Ac-
cording to"advices teaching B'usel the
Germans etre preparing for a strong g
naval and military offensive in the
Riga region of Russia,' The ports of
Danzig .and Koenigsberg are said to
have been closed to commerce and
ships are being used sorely for trans-
porting artillery and ammunition un-
der the protection of a large German
fleet off' Libel'.
The Berne Bund says it learns that
the Germans:' have recently completed
a new railway running from Lihau
through Murnvievo to Mitau and that
reihforcements are passing over it.
The newspaper says it is thought the
German navy will attempt to force
the Gulf of Riga.,
The naval correspondent of the
Times asserts that the next great
German offensive probably will be be-
gun in northern Russia, taking the
form qf.acombined land and sea at-
tack from the Gulf of Riga and

deavor to 'advance toward Petrograd.
In concert with this campaign some
observers anticipate a simultaneous

and Flanders, and here also, it ie be-

as well as by land.

GERMAN PEOPLE WILLING TO
MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Prisoners', Say Sufferings of People
at Home Are Becoming
Unbearable.
The British have successfully ex-
tended their front toward the south
until it covers practically one-fourth
of the whole line from the North Sea
to Switzerland. An International
News Service writer recently made a
trip of inspection. The vessel which
took us across the Channel was
crowded with Red Cross nurses, army
officers and Tommied returning to the
front after a few days' home leave.
I had expected to see these men de-
pressed and downhearted at the pro-
spect of • going beck to ' the dreary
monotony of the trenches, but on not
a single face did I see a sign of any
such feelings. I asked several of
them about it, and the answer was in.
variably the same.
"Why should we feel sorry? We
are well treated, well, fed, and well
looked after in every Way, and our
job is not finished yet. The trenches
are not half as bad as you think. We
are going to stick it out until we
have given the Boehes such a licking
that they won't forget it for a hun-
dred years. There is not much fight
left in them even now."
Our first morning in France was
bright and sunny, though rather
windy. Women everywhere are
ploughing the fields or putting in
the seed, scattering it by hand in the
old-time manner. We pass through
villages full of life and -bustle, but
the women and children, who are
nearly all in deep mourning, bear
silent testimony of the sacrifice
France has made.
At Bethune we sec the first sign of
actual warfare. The town has been
shelled, and many houses are in
ruins, but the inhabitants go about
their business as if nothing had hap-
pened.
The sound of firing increases, aero
planes hovering above us, little cloud
of fleecy white suddenly appear nu
of space all around them and dr•'
away before the wind. It is shrapn-
from the German anti-aircraft guns
exploding harmlessly in the air.
We arrive at a village where w
have to leave our ears as it is no
safe to chive any further in broa
daylight. The German lines are no
far away. The country here is hien
and .barren; everywhere are th
signs of the devastation of war; th
houses mere husks, roofless and bat
tered by hundreds of shells, teen
habited hub for a few Englis
soldiers.
"'Pommies" Confident.
We find the Tommies in the iron
trenches, almost within -hail of th
Germans, the most cheerful of all
Not one among them who does no
feel firmly convinced that they are
able to finish off the Germans as
soon as the signal is given to swarm
out of the trenches.
I noticed that the English guns
fired at least four shots to every
German shot.
In a little village some mites be-
hind the fighting line, I came upon a
batch of prisoners captured by the
British two days before. I asked to
be allowed to sneak to them.
I found them deeply grateful to
their captors, who, they said, had
treated them with the most touching
kindness. They were greatly relieved
because they would now not have to
go back into the inform to fight for
a cause they never looped upon as
their own. They were from Danish
.speaking Germany.
Not one of them was under twenty
or over thirty, and they were tall,
broad -shouldered, blue-eyed and fair -
hatted, end quite willing to talk When
I addressed them in their own
language. •
One of them, a. man with a ..rank
rd intelligent thee, acting as spokes -
an, said:
"We all feel that the end is ap-
'ethhinP, not no much because tier -
any is short of ten ---there are still

"It is gradually beginning to dawn
upon them that all our victories eve
to comet for nothing, and that we
must not only give up what we have
won, but even more, in order to get
'the peace the. whole German 'people
is sighing for."
"Do you think the German people
are in a mood to give up any terri-
tory in order to get peace?" I asked
"I am quite sure that the people
would willingly -give up not only
every inch of foreign territory now
occupied, but Alsace Lorraine :Ras well,"
"ut what about an indemnity?"

short of seed corn and food, even
"potatoes are very scarce. That part
of Germany is a country of mourning
and despaii.
"All our able-bodied men have been
taken, and from the beginning of the
war we have always been sent to the
most dangerous places. Our heavy
casualties prove this."
"How have you been treated while
in the army?" I asked. "Is it true
that your officers threaten to shoot
you down if you refuse to go 'for
Award?"
Not Forced on Germany.
"No, I cannot complain of the way
we have been treated. German offi-
cers have their own way of treating
their man, They hardly look upon
us as human beings, but I think they
have been less brutal during the was
than in time of peace.

"She's just like.one of our own
lasses," a Canadian soldier remark-
ed of Princess Mary the day he was
one of the party of wounded entertain-
ed by the King and Queen at Bucking-
ham Palace, and he proudly displayed
the invitation card to the Palace
which the Princess had autographed
for hint.
It was only one of dozens of such
cards that she had good-naturedly
signed. When she wasn't. pouring out
tea she was surrounded by little
groups of soldiers and sailors who
begged he to write her inane on
their cards, too, and in each case the
Princess smilingly agreed.
Princess Mary has been aptly call-
ed the "Peter Pan" Princess; so ere
tremely girlish and youthful is she in
her ways, so much so that it seems
hard to believe that she recently cele-
brated her nineteenth birthday, and
that if there had been no war she
would have been one of last season's
debutantes.
But she enjoyed the homely birth-
day day tea-party given to her own inti-
mate little circle of girl friends who
came to help her eat the wonderful
three -tiered cake the royal chef had
nada for her, even so much more
than she would have enjoyed aregul-
lation court ball given in her honor
with all its attendant trappings of
state for, like Queen Mary, the Prin-
cess has very simple tastes. She is
gifted with the sound common sense
of her mother, too; and forms very
decided views.

Once some of her friends were h-
•n.g a friendly little argument as to
which profession produces the beav-
st mem Some' said the army, others
lie navy, others voted for the medi-
al profession.
The Princess listened very quietly
o what they' all had to say, and then
emarked very deliberately, "I think
you're all wrong;. J.'o my in air Wren are the bravest men that can be

ROAD' 1,400 MILES LONG.
The World's Greatest Highway Is In'
India.
Search where you will, you will find
no highway in the whglo world so ro-
mantic as the Grand Trunk Road of
India.
A stately avenue of three roads in
one—the centre of hard metal, the
roads Cit each side ankle-deep - in
sal very duet—fringed by double rows
of trees, it runs for ' 1,400 miles
through the vast northern plain which
,skirts the iilmalayas, from Calcutta
to far Poshawur, which'keeps sentinel
at the gate of Afghanistan,
Prom horizon. to hot•Izon it stretch-
es like a broad white ribbon, as seem-
ingly straight as it traced by a gigan-
tic ruler, And dotted along its entire
length are hundreds of series (way-
side rest houses), each With its arched
and turreted gateway, its spacious
enclosure—in which humane 'share
shelter with oxen, camels and goats
—and its central, well of sparkling
water,
'For 3,000 years the Himalayas have
looked down on this road and have
seen it as they see it to -day. it was
the world's greatest highway before
Rome was cradled.; when the abori-
ginal Indians drove their cattle over
the very spot where the motorcar
dashes to -day,
Alexander the Great led his Greeks
along it to the conquest of Northern
India; and Buddha himself took his
daily walks along it centuries before
Christ was cradled.
It has seen a hundred generations
of Men come and go; a score of
dynasties rise and fall. _ And yet tm
day, it is to. the eye, exactly the same
as in the long -gone years when Nine-
veh was a proud city and our own,
ancestors gnawed bones in their caves:
DRINK EVIL REDUCED.
Astonishing Success Achieved by the
Central Control Board.
The astonishing success of the Cen-
tral Control Board in reducing the
drink evil in England, Scotland and
Wales since the board's inauguration
in June, 1916, is strikingly'shown in
the second report made by its chair-
man, Lord D'Abernon.
The report shows that the efforts of
the board have resulted in a reduction
of the average weekly number of con-
victions for drunkenness in England'
and Wales from 2,034 in 1914 to an
average of 940 for last March, the lat-
est month for which figures are avail..
able. In Scotland the average has
been reduced from 1,424 in 1914 to 794
for March.
The figures for London, where a
"no treating" artier went into effect
on October 11, 1915, are of particular
interest. The weekly average of con-
victions for the metropolitan district
in 1914 was 1.801. This was reduced
to 1,008 for the four weeks prior to
October 11, and in the succeeding
month dropped to 718. Reductions on
a similar scale were shown in the
great industrial centres of Liverpool,
Birmingham and Manchester.
The board has been especially
active in locking after the great army
of workers who are employed in the
munitions industry. To offset the evil
influence of drinking places usually i
patronized by the workers, "industrial
canteens," where substantial and
well -cooked meals with light refresh-
ments can be obtained at reasonable
prices, were established. In addition'
the law was enforced which requires
public houses to supply food as wall,'"
as liquor, Lord D'Abernon - reports i a
that the canteens have proved a great h
success and have contributed materi-
ally to the checking of excessive
drinking and the improvement of the
health of the workers.
