Some of .then, in the light blue, hospital uniform, which' is worn by the wounded, have return- ed from fighting ,in Flanders, and others have fast enlisted 'and are about to go to the front. Most of these Bulgarians have had an ardent admiration for England and have, without becoming natural- ized, "contrived to enlist in the Cana- dian force.

Remember th3 place: THE REiLL STORE NOTES AND COMMENTS ��"a yd George of German militarism has always2LSSPt'Z Acclaimed trained and prepared itself to secure an immediate restllt. Frederick the Great established the German tra- dition,' which hats been maintained and enlarged ever since. Frederick the Great's father had died in • 1740, leaving his son e standing array of 80,000 Hien highly trained, and better. than those of any of his neighbors. IIs pretended to discover a plot against him and suddenly launched hie array against those' of Austria, com- pletely defeating them and annexing Silesia, by which Prussia got an in- valuable territory, rich in iron and coal. Austria made peace, but a -little later Frederick found out, or pre- tended to find out, that ai coalition was forming against him, and again jumped upon Austria before she was ready, and opened the Seven Years' War, which spread to England and France, and cost France Canada amoig other colonies. Austria ,sec- seeded i1t arraying against Frederiek, Russia; France, Saxony, and Sweden, but the Allies did not co-operate, and Frederick was able to do what the Germans have been trying to do in the present campaign, -teat:troops from one side of the kingdom to the other to defeat his enemies in detail. Frederick was. a wise old despot;. greatly developed his country, and when he died left a regular army of 200,000 well-trained men, which be- came a force that all Europe had to keep well in mind. Napoleon caught Prussia- unawares by his superior quickness and ability. The Prussian army had become, through its aristocratic control; badly dry -rotted when Napoleon struck :it with his enthusiastic Republican Vol- unteers. Prussia's defeat was com- plete and pronounced; but there came later til uprising of the people and again Prussia helped force a quid: de- cision- at Waterloo. In 1864 Prussia and Austria descended upon Schles- wig-Holstein and brought about Den- mark's quick defeat. In 1866 Prussiai with everything in complete readiness jumped upon Aus- tria, who was only getting ready, affil in seven weeks forced her to a humili- ating peace in which Austria was ex- pelled from the German Confedera- tion allowing Prussia to become the head of the New Entente. This was followed four years later by Prussia catching France similarly unprepared; and crushed her in a' war which lasted only from July, 1870, until January, 1871. In reality Prance was crushed aside of three months. Germany had hoped to, repeat these quick contests in the present want She expected to crush France before' England and Russia could come to her assistance Lind then jmnp, as Freder- ick the Great had done, upon the other Allies, and defeat thein in succession. The history of the war, however, has been a grave disappointment to the German militarists who haveemt suc- ceeded in securing a decision any- where, although they have had most astonishing successes. Though Germany concentrates' al her strength for a quick decisive blow vet she has shown great powers of en- durance. Frederick the Great man- aged to maintain the war in spite of awful defeats Tor seven years, during which time Berlin was taken twice. The whole country was ravaged and even the seed wheat was destroyed. But the country had no foreign debt. The currency had been badly inflated, but under Frederick's wise despotism Tressle was able to ee-establish her, self. GERMAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY. Lack of Raw Material, Cotton, and Other Products. Regarding conditions in the textile t industgy in Germany, a correspondent writes to the Paris Temps, as follows: "The Central Union of Christian Textile Workers and the German Tei - tile Workers' Uniontwo of the great- est labor organizations `111 Germany, have recently held a conference for the discussion of the grave crisis menacing' their industry. A:fte as -1 s certaining the exact situation, a re- medial programme was'agreed upon, I f, which will be submitted fore approval to the authorities of Elberfeld, Char -'1 men, and other industrial centres in Rhenish Prussia and Westphalia. The s 1'.undamental cause for the crisis is a hack of raw material, cotton and other products of which there ars not - P suf fcreut quantities o t l s n hand it to keep the. numerous mill rn Jt 5 t o tet atiot 1 the steadily decreasing import trade, o Which may soon cease altogether, can- not but aggravate the general eeeno v nee situation. The official sequestra- tion of the raw materials in ell Ger- many and their subsequent redistti- s bntion by the government have only tided over matters temporarily, Soon a it will be necessary to reduce opera- tions still further, either by discharg- e ing part of the workers or by cutting n, down the hours of labor. "In this crisis, which affects hu,m- dreds of thousands of textile work- tl ers their organizations have invoked .n the aid of the government and local astthorites. The demands presented include the employment of idle men. on public wot'ke, the ,p•ocurement of s knitting and sewing wort. for the wo- a men, the fut.nishing of temporary fin- le uncial assistance to ' those without any means, the payment of insurance premiums far all hire are unable to keep tqt their policies themselves and the appointment of a general execu- tive council to look after all these de- tails, ---4' Yi1�':Je�ri 'r4:'c�rerllki�t, .

A despatch from London says: A telegram from Gen. Sir John Eccles Nixon, commander of the British forces in Mesopotamia, reports that Gen. Towtisend's troops were in pos- session of the battlefield, while the Turks were reported to he retiring on Dialab, ten utiles above Ctesiphoe, and the same distance from Bagdad. Gen. Townsend was engaged in clearing the field' of wounded and prisoners, "At first it was stated that 800 pri- soners had been taken. 1t now ap- pears that no less than 1,300 have been marched back to Lajj.

The. - Bulgarians had tried to force the r L'r•eneh lines with full strength, and heel left in the rear no covering troops, so that a vigorous French counter-attack forced them to with• draw hurriedly, leaving a considerable number of stead and wounded, A small squadron of French aero• planes bombarded the Bulgarian vit. lige of Strurtitsa with great success and reached its baso uninjured. The Serbian army is continuing it: retreat in the new direction and hal attacked the Bulgarian ;forces cover• ing Prilop. The Austrian forces arc marching ori Uskub.

The Bulgarian press is unanimous in declaring that after the occupation of Serbian Mace- donia the Bulgarian army Will have brought its mission to an enol, but Bulgaria in no way is disposed to- ward fresh sacrifices the advantage of which is not apparent. Bulgarian public opinion seems uneasy at the presence of Turkish forces in Thrace, Five Turkish divisions are al ;Sufi, ono at Mustafa Pasha, one'1tt Varna and one at Burgas. On the other hand the Tuttle; press states that the question of Thrace will. be definitely settled with the support of Germany, for Thrace, contrary to the declarations made by Premier Radoslavolf, of Bolgnr.ia, shouse] fall to Turkey. INSTRUCTION IN LANGUAGES. Englishmen Are Learning Polish g f, and Balkan Dialects. Classes in Russian, French and Spanish are prospering in London as - never before. It is recognized that Germany's great gains in trade were due largely to the pains German clerks and business men tools to ac- quire foreign languages. Special courses in the Slav tongue, including Polish and the Balkan dialects, are now established at king's College, University of London. T. G. Masaryk, professor of philosophy in the Czech University of Prague and formerly a j prominent politician in the Austrian Parliament, is the head of the school. Instruction in the languages will be accompanied by lectures in Slavonic history and literature. Spanish is rather the latest to be taken tip; just as Russian was the first after the out- break of the war', The Welsh people, on account of being bilingual, are the cleverest students in language and the Scotch next, according to the teachers.
