GALLANT DEEDS OF 1
HORSES IME ON WAR TRIP
BRITISH OFFICERS
ACTS OF BRAVERY ON THE
FIELD OF BATTLE.
Officer Leads Men Until Hurt
Third Thne—How a Trench
Was Held. •
Glorious deeds by British officers,
many of'whomstoically bore the
pain of serious wounds in order to
remain among their men, are related
in a War Office list of honors con-
ferred by the King.
Thirty-two -officers are appointed
to the Distinguished Service Order,
while sixty-four are awarded, the
Military Cross.
Among officers who have gained
the D.S.O. are the following:—
Major 0.3.. L. Allansom let Bat-
talion, Oth Gurkha Rides,
With two companies he reached the
summit of Chunuk Bair Ridge, Gal-
lipoli, under a very deetructive fire
from the enemy, where he was wound -
da by a bayonet thrust. When it be-
came obvious that supports could not,
reach him, he skilfully withdrew his
men and, notwithstanding the pain of
his wounds, remained with his butte-
lian throughout the whole day, being
the only British officer left.
Major A. C. Gordon, 16th County
of London Battery, 6th London Bri-
gade, Royal Field Artillery, Terri-
torial Force. ,
At Maroc he got close tip to the
German lines to reconnoitre, and,
although under heavy fire, captured
twelve Germans after shooting one
man with a revolver. On the after-
noon of the same day he again went
up to and reconnoitred the enemy's
second line under very heavy fire.
Major F. Lewis, 2nd Battalion, the
Leicestershire Regiment.
During the action near Metre
'Farm on September 25th, 1915, as
second in command, he directed the
,assault with the utmost coolness.
At an early stage he was wounded
lby shrapnel in the neck, but refused
to leave his post for three hours, and
then returned immediately after his
'wound was dressed. About 3.30 pan.
he took command of his battalion, his
senior officer being wounded.
Fired. From Three Sides.
Temporary Captain 3% E. Adamson,
'8th Battalion, the Gordon Highland-
ers. -
, After leading his company across
the open under heavy- shell and
ride fire, and across three lines Of
wire, !where he Was exposed to
heavy machine gun fire he pressed
on with great determination into the
village of Haines, far in advance
any other detachment, and held
on there from 8 :a.rn, to 5 p.m„ caus-
ing heavy losses t the attacking
Germans. ,Einally, when completely!
isolated and exposed to bombs and
artillery and rifie fire on three sides,
he brought back *hat remained of
:his company in godd order.
Temporary Captain M. P. Beau-
champ Dennis, 7th Battalion, the
King's Own Stottish Borderers.
He was wounded in the trenches
:immediately before the assault On
,Hill 70, but after his 'wound was
.bandaged, he advanced With big
'company, Cheering and encouraging
Olis men till he was again wounded,
ille was carried back to the -dressing-
Istation, from winch he disappeared
'after his wound was dressed. Later
,he waS seen catching rip'his company
1,and ,again cheering them on till he
was wounded a third time.

He took charge of n small Deity
of bombers near "Posse 8;" Bethune,
and during 17V2 hours lie and his
,bombers threw close on 2,000 bombs,
while the enemy responded with about
five times that number.
It was raining nearly all the time,
'and the damp fuses had to be lit
from cigarettes, yet the'enerny were
held up. Second Lieutenant Wil-
liams, :though wounded, refused to
leave his post, and it was mainly due
to his bravery and that of hie party
that the trench was filially held.

Wood, Inth Battalion, the Gordon
Highlanders. He took 216 prisoners in
LOOS, marched them back under heavy
fire with a small escort.
Silt JOHN AT THE FRONT.

An interesting description of Gen, i
French at the front comes from a!
member of the general staff in Plan- •

the campaign is a quiet stroll in what
IS left of the leafy lanes or gardens
of the distvict wherein his headcmar-

he is yeally well gearded—sometimes
even !against his ow» wigh—e few
trusted "Toganies" being told to see
that no one, net even though they ap-
pear to be harmless peasante, an-
proaches within hundreda of yards of
the Commander.
People have been wondering why
Sir ;John, French: now signs him selt
on his despatches and orders as "Field,
Marshal Commanding in Chief British
Army in the Field," instead of ".Brit,
lab Expeclionary Force." The explan-
ntion is , quite simple.' !Considering
that the troops:under his command
have expended from 350,000 to eight
or ten times that number, it was time
that the more, imposing title was
used, especially as theta are other

Animals Purchased for French Army
Badly Treated. •
A gruesome story of the suffering
'and death of horses beingsent to
France for army work is told by j
V. Povall, a horse trainer and doe
tor. Re has just returned to New
York after taking 1,026 Western
horses to France;
"As a lover of horses I hate to pic-
ture the horrors of that trip," he de-
clared. "I was supposed to be docthi
for all the horses. There was work
for a dozen doctors, The horses were
from ranches all over the United
States. Some of them were unbrand-
ed and unbroken. The domesticated
horses were in terror of the wild
horses. .Many of the domesticated
horses died of fright.. Suppose you
had to ride for two weeks between
two savages,
- "The borses were crowded into nar-
row stalls. For the entire two weeks'
-sea voyage they had to stand up. They
could move but a few inthea, Their
stalls were not cleaned during the
voyage. The men hired to feed them
were picked up along the New York
waterfornt. They did not understand
horses. The men were paid $15 for
the round trip. They did as little
work as possible.
"I don't blame the men for shirking.
They were treated worse than the
horses. For breakfast they had a
black fluid, supposed to be coffee,
without milk or sugar. There were 36
men—not enough for the work. Their
food was bad and their beds were
worse. They were a tough crew and
wereson the verge of mutiny most of
the time.
"When we reached France, the cap-
tain of the ship ordered the men to
unload the horses. They refueed. It
was not in their contract, they said.
He threatened to put them in a
French prison. They still refused.
"They did not have to da the work.
Unloading horses from a ship is a job
for an expert. The Frenchmen who
did the unloading were not experts.
Several horses fell from the sling that
lifted them from the hold to the deck
and their ribs and backs were broken.
"When we renched the Gulf Stream
-T-the cemetery of 'horses—conditions
on boerd the ship were as bad as those
on a slave ship in the old days. The
horses, sick, wounded and driven
crazy by fear as the ship pitched
about, shrieked and kicked and bit
each other. Many of them died. A
sahool of sharks was soon following
the boat. It did not go hungry.
"These horses weren't low-grade
stock, by any means. They were for
cayaley and artillery duty in the
French army. They were handsome
animals, but the voyage reined many
of those it did not kill.
WARS AND. WOES OF ILIUM.
Deeds of Myth and Fact Done Along
the Dardanelles.
What a wealth of classic myth and
ancient legend lies behind the pomp
and wreck of history that the shores
of Hellespont, or the Dardanelles,
have witnessed,
Wby is it called the "Hellespont"?
Botause "pontos" means a sea, and
because the Greeks named this par-
ticular sea for }Idle, the goddess who
fell into its waters while she was rid-
ing through the air above them on
the ram of the Golden Fleece, says a
titer in the 'Youths' Companion,
Through the sante strait at a later
time eailed Jason and, the Argonauts,
in search of the Golden Fleece..
Why "the Dardanelles"? In honor
of Dardantim, a city that Greek COO-
nomists founded on the strait tot far
from ancient Ilium, the Troy of clAie
Mathes,. Blum! The walled city of
Priam, the descendant of Dardanus;
that the Greeks captured by craft af-
ter the ten years' siege of which Ho-
mer sang.
The plains where Agamemon led
Isis Argive hosts echoed this year to
the thunder of gune on the British
battleship Agamemnon. Nearby tow -
ors Mount Ida, where Aphrodite won
the golden apple, the prize of beauty
that led to the wars and woes of
nun, and where the gods gathered
to watch the embattled Greeks and
Trcti tine.
Farther along atood Anndos and
Sestos, facing each other on the mile -
wide strait that Leander swam once
toe often to meet his sweetheart Here,
who found his body on the shore.,
Thither, in 334 B.C., Alexander the
Great led the Greeks, who sought
more worlds to coequer, and there, a
Century and 0 half before, Xerxes bad

WAR CRIPPLES IN
PERISCOPES SAVING LIVES:
Campaign Started to Supply All so,
TRADESCHOOLS dials at the Freat'
' It is a well known fact that peris-
copes are not only indispensable in
FRENCH GOVERNMENT AID
WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
S • submarine boats, but also on land in
the trenches. Soldiers back from the
front in England are unanimous in
praising these instruments, which
they say have proved far more impor-
tant savers of life than apPeared
likely when they were at first intro-
duced.
A carnpaignIs now being conducted
to induce parents, wives and friends
of soldiers at the front to supply their
relatives with one of these instru-
ments Which will go far toward pro-
tecting -them against attack. Among,
men at the front the opinion is gen=1
eral that the periscope is of impor-
tame not only for use by the officers,
but also by the new recruits who are
beginning their experiences on the fir-
ing line. These men are alwaya eager
to see the enemy and are inclined to
'risk any danger with that object in -
mind, Hundreds of lives have been
lost in this manlier, whereas had the
soldier used a periscope he would have
obtained a better view of the enemy's
lines while keeping himsif out of
reach.
The periscope has been improved
and simplified tohthe highest degree,
ancl the instrument which is now be-
ing widely used carries ,the scope of
the contrivance as far as it can be
carried, It is the invention Of a Lon-
don journalist,:and is called the Max-
fieldscope. It consists roughly in a
telescopic metal tube made somewhat
on the lines of the leg of a collapsible
camera stand. Closed, the tube mea-
sures ten inches in length; fully ex-
tended it is thirty inches long. The
tube part of it, which can scarcely
weigh six ounces, can be hung on to
the belt.
The other essentials, the glasses,
though they are four inches square,
and thus afford it large field of vision,
are no longer than an ordinary busi-
ness envelope, and thus fit easily into
a jacket pocket. The arrangement by
which the glasses are attached to the
tube is ingenious and invariably suc-
cessful. The tube being oval the. mir-
rors are sprung on it by clips, which
hold them absolutely rigid.
Another vital necessity in a peris-
cope is that the splintering of the
glass should be prevented in case of
a hit by the enemy. This is met by
making the mirrors of the best glass,
"backing" the glass with good, sound
material, and binding the edges round,
Each part is packed in a separate
cover and the whole, if enclosed in
one parcel, would weigh well under a
pound. It is a really marvellous ex-
ample of much in little, and 0 -.1,.. -„hole
contrivance, including spare „glasses
(which can be got at twenty-five
cents apiece) can be delivered' at the
front for less than $5.
Photographs of Wounds ' Aid in Sys'
tematizing Scientifia Treat -
The French Government recently
gave facilities to the Associated Press
and a party of foreign journalists to
inspect some of the remarkable work
which is being done for the regenera-
tion of the ranks of stricken; crippled,
maimed and apparently hopeless
-wonnded, who are borne back from
tile fighting line at Champagne.
Under the escort of French' officers,
the party was takeh to St. Maurice, a
short distance outside Paris, where
wounded are brought after the physi-
cal cares of surgery have been given,
to be nursed into convalescence, di-
verted from thought of the loss of
limbs, and gradually educated into
some new line whith re-creates them
into useful members of society. St.
Maurice is of vast dimensions, the
buildings and grounds occupying an
area probably greater than Central
Palk in New York. The buildings
stretch as far as the eye can see; low,
two-storey stone structures, so that
the cripples are not climbing long
stairs, and are near the gardens,
everywhere abundant with flowers
and shrubbery, to lend cheer to the oc-
cupants.
In the Receiving Ward.
"Two hundred more wounded are
coming," saki an attendant, as the
officer led the way into the first build-
ing, the receiving ward.
"Here they are," said the officer,
pointing to 200 large glass photogra-
phic plates ranged and: numbered in
a case.
The photographs of the 200 wound-
ed bad been sent- ahead, the plates
showing with precision the exact
wound and its process of healing,
some of them being X-ray plates.
"See this one," said the officer,
holding up a large glass plate show-
ing the side profile of a 'wounded sol-
dier, with a gaping bullet hole back
of the ear, and around the hole little
sutures or cracks of the skull.
"It is not a fractured skull—that
would be hopeless," said the officer.
"No, that man can be made over."
But this receiving ward was merely
the fit•st stage 10 -0 sort of ascending
scale, -which improved the wounded
man's condition at each stage until he
was finally landed in the cchool where
he was made over into a condition
more uset,l to himself and society
than he was before. It was to this
school that chief interest was directed.
A Hive of Workshops.
This enormous school at St. Mau-
rice is a hive of workshops of all
kinds—shoemaking shops, machine
shotis, Auto repair shops, blacksmith
shops with blazing forges, and
clothes -making shops, and the work -
Men were the wounded soldiers from
the firing line, minus an arm, leg or
eye, on which they had before depend-
ed, but now launched on u new line
which did not need that arm, leg or
eye. As a whole, it was as efficient
a body of werkmen as one wouldfind
in any well -regulated factory. The
men had smiting faces. Those work-
ing in groups were chatting and
laughing.
Attention was also given to the tine.
arts and the professions, and here
also Were sehools for sculpture and
painting and architecture, so that leg-
less or armless or eyeless soldiers who
had a taste, for the esthetic could be
led into some new line which did not
require the use of the lost member.
One pale -faced young soldier, his left,
arm gone near the elbow, was deli-
cetely modelling a Venus de Milo with
his remaining hand, .
The soldier architects were making
designs, with blueprints, of girders,
arches and columns, and calculating
the strength of walls and roofs. All
of these men had something missing,
but their work WaS so chosen as to
make absolutely negligible the lost
member, and to make what remained
of their members entirely efficient for
this partimiler work. Near the sol.
diet architects were -ranged two long
lines of soldier typewriters, men who
had lost a foot or SOMB other mem-
ber, but whose hands had now been
taught 0 skill they had not known
before in rapid typewriting. -

the Shoe Shop.
the men were turning out a good
grade of shoea, selling for '23 francs
(about $4,60); also wallets end purses
of all kinds, leather watch chains and
belts. A large glass case exhibited
the diversity of their product 10 was
the! same in the machine shop, the
blacksmith Shop and all the other
branches of this hive of industry.
"One soldier, with both hands
gone," said the efficer, "is making!18
francs a day as a carpenter."
He explained that special tools had
been =delft's! this 'handless carpenter,

arm stumps. The planes, for in-
stance, automatically permitted the

pressure was too great onthe left,
and other holla of forward and rear

dier carpenter learned his trade auto-
matically, bells warning him of each
false move until he had become ex-
pert.
The St. Maurice institution and
School, which is thus making soldiers
over for a new and neefuloccupa-
tion, has a capacity of 800 men, who
:have their wounds dressed so far as
remains necessary, are housed and
fed, and, at the Same time, carry on
these extensive .shops, which turn out
useful men, skilled in the nits, meld-
tectere, mechanical arts and thc many
branches of manufacture,

WHAT WAR COSTS.
Small .Affairs Run Into Hundreds of
Millions.
. The present war will undoubtedly
be the most expensive of modern
times, and the cost of the actual fight-
ing alone must run into billions of
dollars. Ls comparison, the Balkan
War was quite a small affair, yet
when the treaty of peace was signed
between victors and vanquished over
$200,000,000 had been spent in fight-
ing.
The Russo-Turkith War of 1877 cod
nearly $90,000,000 a month. When
hostilities bad ceased Turkey was
called upcn to pay $725,000,000, but
Russia consented to accept various
territories in part payment, leaving
a balance of some 3250,000,000.
The total cost of the Franco-Prue-
sian War, which lasted eight months,
ran into more than 31,580,000,000.
France had to pay the sum of 31,000,-
000,000 hi three instabnents, and cede
Alstme and Lorraine.

blacksmith, and the "muscles of his
brawny arms are as strong as iron
bands," as the poet sings, while the
local shaver makes no attempt to con-
ceal the fact that you are in for
1Vlarks if you go to him!
On a Tann lately two laborers
worked in the same field often enough
who were named Pill and Pothecary;
while neighboring villages were blest
With incumbents who rejoiced in the
names of the Rev. Paschal Lamb and
the Rev. Vivero Rabbits. And the re-
cent occurrence of the centenary of
the great battle reminda one of the
death lately of a nonagenarian
named Wellington Waterloo Travers.
It is very unfortunate that a Cana-
dian's name bestowed upon him at the
font should be Quintus, because, al-
though it is quite a fine -name, his sur-
name happens to be Cumber, and he
is constantly referred to in the law re-
ports, being a barrister, as Mr. Q.
Cumber,
Still, this is no worse than such
names as Mr. Mineral Waters, Mr,
Frosty Winters, and Mr. Alfred Day
Weeks, which are perfectly genuine
cases of nomenclature.
Sometimes marriage plays queer
tricks with names. For instance,
Miss Wild Rose had a sweetly pretty
name till she wedded a handsome
young fellow named Bull. Then she
saw it.
In conclusion it seems hardly prob-
able that the names of Thinn and
'Freshwater for the partners in a
dairy business could have been pur-
posely chosen for trade purposes.
