Constantinople has always 'been a

the centre. of a religion which was
closely connected with the state. The
first Constantine, believing that re-

vision a Cross and the words, "In this

soldiers, who were mostly Christians
and they were inspired to conquer

to move his political capital from

due recognition the after ages have
called the city of Constantine. He

New Fighting Methods
But perhaps the greatest cbange of
all concerns the method of fighting,
its recently as half a century ago a
pistol was a particularly useful wea-
pon to the sailor in a sea battle. Ships
then drew near enough each other for
the very blast of the broadside to
momentarily turn day into night
'tween decks—sometimes, indeed,
close enough for some daring bloods
with cutlass between teeth and pistol
in band to dart out of the favoring
smoke pall and clamber up the
shrouds of the enemy. To -day sea
fights are usually long range affairs

OTHER GODERICH BOYS.
A dramatic letter from the front
telling of heroism of Canadians in res

an exposed position, published in The
Free Press on Monday, was written by
Chester McDonald. A later letter,
dated June 5, has been received by a
friend in Goderich, in which mention
is made of other Goderich boys. It
says:
"I believe. Philip (Carey) is in hos-
