Advance Nearly Two Miles on a Line That Dis-
tance Wide
A despatch f rein Paris,says; The
victory won by the British tvoops
florth of La Bessee, where they cop-
tured the village of Neuve Cha-
pelle appears from additional eli-
"6fti1s of the .affair .received to have
been the "gre,atest single advance
"which the British have made since
the fighting enteved upon its pre-
sent stage.
In addition to the capture of,
Relive Chapelle itself, the ,Britith
offensive resalbed in the occupa-
- ,tion of German trenches over a
front of 2,500 metres, the attack
reaching its furthest point one and
a quarter miles beyond the .village.
Thus the British troops advanced
neerlytwo miles on •e line about
that distance Wide. •
To -day the 'British are holding
their geins, despite a number of
eounteratt tacks.
It is believed thet the improve-
ment in the British simsition
brought about by the victory is- of

mens to" evacuate La Bassee and
perhaps other points which nea,ke

la. HON. L�GUSTINE BUUUiLT
Che f Secretary ' for Ireland Is a
Genuine Book DIVOT.
Recreations : Pedestrianism,
golf, book -hunting." Thus "Who's
'Who," in its biographical notes on
Rt. ion. Atigustine Birrell, Chief
:Secretary. of Ireland since 1907,
who, it is announced, .will resign at
early date. •Po whieh might be
.added the genial pastime qf in-
e'reiseingartot a little the gaiety. Of
his fellows, for Mr. Bitrell, being
.a' confirmed optimist, as he has
more than ence confessed, loves to
look at things through rose-colored
'spectacles, and to seize the oppor-
tunity to enliven even the most seri-
ems situations with light-hearted
witticisms and epigrams.
Men .of all parties have a sincere
.affection for him. When Bierell
"up" in the I-Touse, lobby, smelting-
roome, and dining -rooms are at
..ence emptied, for member's are sure
•to hear a speech witty,. informing,
.and eloquent.
Some bf his witty sayings *ill live
long after he is deacL It was he
who on one mern.orable occasion re-
ferred to the House of Lords as "re-
preeenting nobody but themselves,
and they enjoyed the full confidence
.of their -constituents," while in the
.same vein he (teetered that "a pan -
ion ef five:shillings a week was not
much inducement to longevity."
What Ile Believed In.
And then there w,a,s his witty re-
tort, when things were going badly
with his Education bill in 1907, bo
-a churets dignitary, who, meeting
•him one day, observed: "I am
.afraid near bill is dead, Mr. Bir -
Tell."
"Yes, it may be, my lord," was
Rt. Hon. Augustine Birrell.
the prompt replY. "But I believe
iu the resurrectionof the dead."
Ma. Birrell fully appreciates the
humor of an Incident, however,
even when the joke is .against him-
self, and in eenneetion with his fern-
eue Fclueation bill he is rather fated
of 'telling the story of an East Ang-
lian banner who said to Mr. Birrell
on one occaskn that if all the mo-
ney spent on education within tbe
last 20 years had been spent on
artificial mamma this would indeed
be a happy &matey.
• "Thee,' eald Mr. Ehnen, "you
prefer inunk to mind 7"
"Yes, I do," Said the fanner,
"and so do a good many other peo-
ple."
And no erie laughed more heartily
than him when he perpetrated a,
"bull" in the House of Commons
on a certain orhasion wilen he was
being heckled by Earl Winterton re-
garding a statement said to have
been tssued by the Chief Secretary
in connection with certain indus-
trial tionbles in Dublin.
"What appeared," said Mr. Bir-
rell, "was a wholly garbled version
of what never took place."
That Terrible Sword.
Mr. Birrelan, fondness for reliev-
ing a serious eituetion by a hunior-
ens comment, is farther illustrated
by his remark when frightened °M-
orals came to tel him that the
Crown jetinla had bees] stolen from
Dublin CaStle. Remembering that,
a visit from King Edward was ex-
pected in Ireland, ,and that he
would have to undergo the awful
ord,eal of walking beckwerds be-
fore' his 1VIajesty, holding the big
tword. ef State, Mr, Birrell ex-
claimed
"Good heeveas 1 hope they re-
membered the ersotd."
Perhaps the .iitere whith Mr. Bin
rell is most fend of telling against
hinneelf le that cos:kerning the days
when he was Mr. Asgrath"e'Col-
league in the representatiot of Fife.
One day a Scottish.M.P. cornered
Mr. "Birrell in the lobby withthia
question, "How is it, Ma.
that You are retuxned for West Fife
bynstiay thousands, whereas at the
eastern divisiori .of the'nanie Oratnty
a really. clever Man Iilre Mr. AS --
quill din only be interned by some
hundreds V"
"I esettiad him," said Mr. Bis'-
rell, when telling the story, n00,,
I had a great advantage over Mr.
Asquith, fel" my father, grand-
father; and great-grandfather had
all been harp in the county of Fife,
and thet most of them were buried
in the well-known parish church in
the dist rice'', •
I Like Lord Resebery, Mr. Birtell
is a genuine bookslover. Literature
is his ehief delight, andnothing
plettses him more than to escape for
a few hours from political and offi-
cial duties and take a quietstroll
among the bookshops in the hope
of picking ap some literary trea-
sure.
,TOE'S LOSS 3,000,000.
--
CaltMlation as to,' German Casual-
ties is Surprising,
An official note issued by the
French Press Bureau declares that
the Geranaa loses since the begin-
ning of hostilities in killed, woubd-
ed, sick and prisoners, reaches the
enormous ',total. of 3,000,000 men.
This ealcutetion is based on this
known casualties in ten German
regimente
'Analysis of the German losses
during five months, in. ten regi-
ments taken frees army corps on
both the eastern end western Ger-
man fronts, .thows a total of 36, 281
officers and soldiers; that is, an
average per regiment of '725 month-
ly, says the note. • Applying, this
percentage of losses to the entire
German army, iticluding the lead-
wehr, landeturna new formations
and maxinen the deduction is
made that the totol German losses
during the seven months of the war
must exceed 4,000,000.
The note eontinues.: "Even ad-
mitting that eertain regiments suf-
fered less than lhose mentioned
above, all regimeets have been vio-
lently* engaged repeatedly on one
Or the other of the- two fronts,
sometimes on both, and it is im-
possibleato arrive at'a smaller fig-
ure for the total German lessee,
including the sick, than 3,000,000."
Quarrels.
We can forgive a man who hates
a quarrel if lie quarrels hardly ex
even unfeirly ;Isa is so unused to
the game. that he cannot be expect-
ed to play it kindly when it is forc-
ed upon lain; he is embittered by
his natural anger that he -should
be ferced to quarrel at all. But the
quarrelsome man who quarrels
with a, .purpose is as base as the
0mM:sharper., He profits by the
wea,kneeses of °theta on a pretence
of 'tharing them. In :fact, he is a
man that even the most quarrel-
some would never quarrel 'with
twice, any more than- a gambles'
will knowingly Way ,hwiee with a
cardsharper; for in quarreling,' as
in gambling, there is one law that
should never be broken just be-
cause both are rather lewle,ss pur-
suits, and that is the law of fair
play.
Too Impatient.

SUBMARINE ATTACKS
THE SS. LAPLAND
Under -Sea Craft was Lying in 'Wait
'for the Liner atethe Mouth
of the Mercy.
A despatch from Loralon says:
The''Red Star as. Laplanicl, which
sailed on Friday for New ..YOFIcs
eaarying 106 pansen.gers, encoun-
tered a German submarine just af-
ter she had elestrecl the Mersey bar
at the Meath of the Meriey, .soMe
29 miles from the landing stage:.
The submaxihe, which evidently
was lying in wait for the linen gave
clatee, but the officers of the Lap-
land , sighted the enemy in time,
and 'crowded their vessel to the
limit. of ilea speed, 'outdistancing
the under -sea boat.
The Lapland earried 21' saloon,
36 abin 'and 49 deerake passen-
geas; 1,630 tons" 01 cargo, and
2,925 bags of mail. Sheis due in
New York this week. She was fly-
ing the British flag when she left
Liverpool. The vessel arrived in
Liveipool from New York on her
last eastward trip on January 29,
and has been held up since by the,
strike of the dock -workers.
In spite of the activity ,of Ger-
man under -water craft in British
waters since the German "war
zone" order went into effect, the
attack on the Lapland is 'the first
instance of n attempt to molest
trane-Ytlantio passenger vesedl.
The Lteetarties, on the occasion of
her flying the. Ammiean flag in
crossing the Irish Sea, was warned
of the presence of Germain submar-
ines, but did not sight the enemy.
Th.e Lapland is a twin-serew eka-
sel of 18,694 tons, built by Harland
and Wolff at Belfast iu 1908. Ori-
ginally a Belgian ship, she has been
flying the British flag since the
suspensican of the Red Star Line's
AntWeep service at the beginning
of the war.

11 U SS' A DRIN K1NG TEA..
•
1101.11 German and "Russian Troops
Are Using It.
Elimination of the vodka from
Russia has evidently started that
immense nation tea -drinking. Ac-
cording to The New York journal
of Commerce, heavy buying by
Russia, of India and Ceylon teas has
-caused abnormal' prices for these
teas, the quotations being frosn 8
to 10 cents a poand higher than a
year ago. From reports in the
trade the Russians are buying all
the India-Ceylons available; and
there is a likelihood of prices going
Still higher.
-.Not only is the Russian army
using tea in enormous quantities
flOW, but the Kaiser long ago or-
dered it for his treops. Unusually
jerge buying by these two natioas
and their entrance into neas mar-
kets as competitors have plated
the test market in a tight position.
It has been previovely pointed out
in these columns that 'Britain is
turning more to tea -drinking.
United States drinks 90,000,000
pounds a year. To these factors
the Canadian tea trade is sensitive,
and advances in market valises are
not unlikely.
