Proven a Hero in the Defence of His Country. ING PETER of Serbia will never be the immortal and heroic figure that King Al- bert of 'Belgium has be- come, but, nevertheless, he too is a King without a country, and there is being poured out on him , some of that sympathy that flowed to King Albert mere than a year ago. In sinister circumstances King Peter came to the Serbian throne. The way for his accession was cleared by one of the most brutal murders in modern times, and since Peter pro- dted by the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Drage, there has been a general disposition to be- lieve that he either inspired or ap- proved the plan that made him King, This, however, he has always stren- uously denied, Leaving aside the bloodthirsty revolution that brought 'him to the throne, it is admitted that he has been a good King, a constitu- tional monarch, and has widened the bounds of popular government in his country. Twelve years ago Peter Kara- georgevitch. ` was crowned King of Serbia at Belgrade: In that time his tired of his thraldom, although, as remarked, he has been a constitution- al monarch, and, in fact, little more than a figurehead for some years past. Several times his abdication has been reported, and a couple of months before the war broke'out the Crown Prince was appointed regent. It was then announced that the King'sill-health made it impossible for him to fully discharge the duties. of his rake; but it wae whispered that the real trouble was his difficul- ties with the army, which had worn him out, ' King Peter is a real soldier, He has insisted on remaining at the frontwhenhe was w he weak he could a so hardly sit his horse. There is a story told of the King riding up the trenches where his brave soldiers crouched, their ammunition gone, but ready to use their bayonets upon the Austrians. "Drawing his sword the King said: "My dear brethren, you have sworn allegiance to your coun- try and your King. From this latter loath I now release you. You are at liberty to return to your homes. Your aged King has come to take your place, for you must be more than worn out." With these words the King galloped toward the enemy, and his soldiers springing to their feet followed him in a cliarge that made a Panic in the Austrian lines. This story is vouched for by Prince Alexis, and is recorded by James Walter Smith in the Boston Transcript. King Peter had his military educa- tion in France, where he was 10 exile with his father and mother. He was trained 'in St. Cyr, and when the Franco-Prussian War broke out lie hastened to offer his services. Few officers had more exciting e::ner1oncoa In the course of this war than "Sled Peter," as he was called, Throe tunes he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Three times he made his escape -and rejoined the French army, and in the end was riven the Legion o£ Hnuor for 'lis so:d;erly s'rviras. Later on he took tart in the rising in Herzegovina, and in the I essb- Turkish War. He had, therefore, something to do with establishing Serbinn independence.

We have great reason for gra'ti Iude to Almighty God that our country has, so farbeen saved from the/ actual ravages of war; that a most bountiful harvest has been vou,chsafeld• to us. and that there is Peace and conte', nentr within our ,borders. We have even great epi cause for gratitude that our mens, with brave hearts and un- flinching. courage, have cheerful- ly laid down ;their lives to p.re'-t serve' our liberties,; 'that' so many men and women of our Province have given themselves in unselfish service to all forms .of huinanitari- anr and patriotic work.

CHOICE IS A POPULAR ONE successor of the Pro -German Silnri, Pasha is a Man Whose Worth as an Administrator' Has Been Proven in Many Years of Official Labor—Work- ed With Kitchener. I VETERAN diplomat contri- butes the following recol- lections of some years ago of' Prince. Hussein Kenai, the new Khedive of Egypt who succeeds the pro -German Hilnei Pasha. I found him a most agreeable, in- teresting, and amusing companioh, save when he was' wont to complain,, in the most un -Oriental fashion, of the extravagances of conduct and of purse of his one and only wife, the Princess Ain -N1 -Haat Hanem, daugh- ter of Prince Achmet, and Who was quite as Europeanized in appearance and manner as her escort. It cannot be said that t?rincess Hussein was a'tery devoted wife, and for her there was 110 such thing as the captivity of an Oriental harem, which even in those days --I a.m,talk- ing of a period between thirty and thirty-six years ago=had become a mere figure of speech, as far as the great ladies of Egypt were concerned. She was most of the time away from her husband, sojourning in Paris, at Trouville, or at one or an- other of the ultra -fashionable ther- mal resorts of Continental Europe. PRINOn HUSSEIN RENAL. She would go about entirely unveil- ed, did not hesitate to appear at the opera and at private entertainments in Paris in the most daringly decol- late of dresses. When .his father Ismail was de- posed and sent into exile, Hussein took his departure from Egypt. i He took up his residence at Paris, where he had spent a considerable portion of his boyhood and youth under the particular care of Napo- , leon III. and of Empress Eugenie, who were very fond of him and who had treated him with the utmost kindness. Re was a welcome guest in the Faubourg St. Germain and at the leading Parieian clubs, and made his home, indeed, on the banks of the Seine throughout the whole of the reign of Khedive Tewfik, who took advantage of his absence from Egypt to encourage all sorts of stories to his detriment, regarding him as a dan- gerous foe. In this way Hussein was able to keep his skirts entirely clear from all the intrigues in connection with the Arabi insurrection, that brought about the bombardment of Alexan- dria and England's military occupa- tion of Egypt—intrigues in which so ' many members of the Khodival fame ily were incriminated, and in Which even Khedive Tewfik himself was so badlyinvolved, that Lord Randolph Churchill repeatedly insisted in the House of Commons at Westminster on his deposition. Not until Abbas Pasha succeeded to the throne on Tewfik's death did Hussein return to live permanently in Egypt and resume the occupancy of his palace at Cairo. Taught by Ills experience of what had virtually been many years of foreign exile, and. realizing that the English were, . in Egypt to stay, he determined to re- frain from antagonizing them in any way. He knew that it was within the power of, Lord Cromer to send him ont of the country at twentyfour hours' notice if he.showed himself in any way Inimical to the presence of the British, or to the British methods of administration. So he made up his mind to refrain in the very strictest manner from politics and to resist the pressing in- vitations of his nephew, Khedive Ab- bas, of the Nationalists, of the for- eign ppponents to English views in Egypt, as well as the requests of Sul- tan Abdul Hamid, that ho would adopt a political role on the banks of the Nile. Instead he devoted himself en- tirely to the promotion of agricul- ture, and: especially to the septette- tion of his extensive estates in Upper and Lower Egypt. I3e assumed the Presidency of •the Khedivlal Society of. Agrieulture, which has for its ob- ject the encouragement of the adop- tion of more enlightened and mo- dern methods of the cultivation. of CAPTAIN W. H. G. ®ULLARD. director of the T.:S.

When the Back Becomes lame IT IS A SION OF KIDNEY TROUBLE 'Doan's: Kidney .Pills curethe aebiag back by curing the aching kidneys be- neath—for it is really the kidneys aching and not the back. Doan's Kidney Pills are a special kidney and, bladder medicine for fhe cure of all kidney troubles. Mrs. Louisa Goushaw, 683 Manning Ave., Toronto Ont.,. writes: "I take great pleasure m writing you, stating the benefit I have received by using Doan's Kidney Pills. About three years ago I was terribly afflicted with lame baclt, and was so bad I could not even sweep the floor. I was advised to try your pills, and before had used one box there was a great improvement; and my back was much better. However, I kept on taking them until my back was completely, mired. I highly recommend 'Doan's' for lame back." Doan's Kidney Pills are the original pill for the kidneys. See that our trade mark the "Maple Leaf" appears on the wrapper.

When ordering direct specify "Doan's." 11, NEUTRAL who professes some knowledge of military history asserted- the other . day that Britain' was neve able to '.win more than on great fight in any of her wars, bu that it always happened to be the last one. Beneath ,the exaggeration of this opinion may be discerned the distinctive military quality of the British, namely, their ability to hold pn, and in the face of repeated re- verses to come cheerfully and con- fidently to the final grapple, where they have been successful ever since there was a British nation. In the present war it has been made plain that the British race has lost none of its'nobler qualities, and there is doubt 3n no quarter as to the final issueof the war. This war has come to be a question of holding on, and bitter and desperate tbrougb the fight is, our people are elle tl' a know- ledge of the fact the.. 8e pressure of the war ly more pronounced, nt of the Naw York • a b, who bbeeen finds that as a gitraygot over the people 1 months.

The newsp pens are now venturing to publish 1 ters troll the front which discourc the notion that the German solar are supermen.

Rhine Ready for Peas:. He says that the recent peace de- monstration ordered by the Cardinal Archbishop of Cologne would have been impossible six mouths ago, and though the actual procession was frustrated at the last moment by the authorittes, they feared to interrupt the preparations welch had preceded it, knowing very well that the Arch bieliop represents the feeling in the Rhine provinces and in other parts of Western and Southern Germany, where the majority of the people are Roman Catholics. For months past the Archbishop has been advocating' peace, and when be announced that upon September 26 there would be a procession in Cologne of those in favor of ending the war at once, thousands of Roman Catholic clubs and societiespreparedto take part in it. The authorities hesitated to in- terfere until it was announced that the Socialists were to participate, When they forbade it on the ground that it wbuld lead to disorders. So the demonstration: was cancelled, but nobody has ventured to rebuke the mands. Archbishop, who continues his de -- ties"• , Vorwarts Protests. es4'se, It is the rise in the cost of living,`;' and especially in the price of food, that increases more than anything else the growth of war weariness. A. remarkably outspoken comment on the food question which appeared in the Socialist Vorwarts was as tal- lows: "One of the most dangerous decep-.. bens perpetrated during the, war is the pretence that Germany, although cut off from all her oversea supplies, can feed her own population. The fact is that the population of Ger- many cannot be properly fed by pro- ducts of her own country. The war has proved beyond all doubt that it is impossible to produce enough ar- ticles of nourishment or to raise a sufficient number of cattle to feed the German people without foreign as- sistance. It is true that we shah be able to hold out forsome limited time, but only at the cost of the health and etrength of the nation, now being undermined by systematic deprivation and underfeeding." Textile' Industry Ruined. From another source it is learned that the greattttextiie industries of Germany are stagnant•..Tens is caus- ed by a lack of raw materials, and means that not only are hundreds of thousands of people out of employ- ment, many of whom, of course, are serving as soldiers, but that there is increasing difficulty in supplying the forces with clothing. The Govern- ment is being called upon to provide for tbe idle men who are not fitted for military duties, on public works, to furnish temporary financial "u,s sistance to those without means and; to keep the insurance policies of all. of them in force until the end of the war, The German Government may be able to solve this problem, as it has solved .others in the course of. the past fifteen menthe, but it is in the position of a tiring horse obliged to face one fence after another, each higher than the one before.
