Lord Crawford Set Fine Example by
Enlistingas Stretcher.bearer
Those acquainted with the sporting
qualities, enthusiasm, and energy of
Lord Crawford were scarcely surprise
ed at the splendid example he set by
going to the Front as a stretcher -bean
er with the Royal Army. Medical Corps,
His lordship greatly distinguished
himself in many directions. He is a
trustee of the National Portrait Gee
lery,, having inherited from his father
that love of pictures which has made
him the moving spirit of the National
Art Collectors' Fund. One of his lord,
ship's notable characteristics is his
rapid walk.
No one enjoyed the joke more than
Lord Crawford himself ;,then, after he
had warned the government for weelee
about the da.tger of German spies ou

guard against them be itimseef one

which commended an extremely wide

of Lord Crawford is that concerning

But Lord Crawford felt the intrusion,
and, promptly turning to the man whe
happened to be on the lett, he punch,

averted only by the confession of the

Roumanian (or Wallachian) is one
of the Romance languages -the gener

that are the immediate descendants of
the languages of ancient Rome. The
language differs slightly in different
parts of the country, like the north and
oath of England.
ITLAY'S SOLDIERS WEAR"
Italy has some of the most efficient
and most picturesque soldiers in the
world. They are divided into four
classes; the leersaglieri, the Alpini, the
aarabinieri,, and the cavalry.'
The Bersaglieri are light infantry of
great mobility. They are always seen
on the run, and their picturesque cos-
tume, with low -crowned plumed hat,
is a feature of almost every Italian
landscape.
The Alpini are specially trained to
manoeuvre among thenorthern moun-
tains, and' their target practice 'con-
sists in sharpshooting acmes the vast
open spaces, Where the atmospheric
conditions would confuse the soldier
of the lowlands. As to the cavalry,
experts have said that that of Italy
is the finest in the world.
Besides these unique corps, there
are the famous Carabinleri or nation-

GIRL WON COMMISSION
Russia Honors Young Woman of Un-
usually Adventurous Type
A Russian girl of 18, Alexandra
Ephimovna Lagereva by name, has re.
calved a commission in one of the
regiments of Don Cossacks. Her pro-
motion from the ranks was a reward
of special services. During one of the
battles In the Suwalki Government,
the detachment to which she belonged
was surrounded by superior numbers
and captured. From certain remarks
which the Germans let fall, and from
the way in which they looked at her,
It was evident they had guessed the
secret of her sex. Perhaps this was
the reason that, when the other
prisoners were divested of their pro-
perty, she '+vas allowed to retain her
watch and compass. The prisoners
were locked up in a church, outside
which a sentry patrolled.
During the evening the party was
visited by several German officers,
who seemed to take a lively interest
in Alexandra, and laughed a good
deal among themselves. When' all was
quiet the prisoners broke a window
and clambered out, and Alexandra
felled the sentry with a stone. The
refugees succeeded in recovering their
horses, and picked up one or two
stragglers, who increased their num-
ber to seven. This force attacked a
German patrol of 18 Uhlans, and cap•
tutreed them ill .- __ _ _.-

The war bulletin of the Fourth Ger-

French aviator. He was making for ,
Langelede, Belgium, when a railway

slightly gassed. What the workers
call a "feed" of chlorine kills a man
outright inside of an hour or so. Of
course, the workers take every pos-
sible precaution, such as, for instance,
working with goggles on their eyes,
and bulky muzzles over their ,mouths
made of twenty thicknesses of flannel,
but despite everything accidents fre-
quently happen.
Nevertheless, constant familiarity
with this particular danger breeds a
oer•tain amount of contempt for it, as
for most others, and the regular alkali
workers often speak slightiugly, and
even jestingly, of "Roger." They even
make use of him for their own ends
upon occasion. For instance, the fac-
tory yardsare sometimes infested by
stray, prowling cats, who steal the
men's dinners. A favorite dodge is to
decoy pussy to where the green fog is,
when, of course, that cat becomes a
dead oat without more ado.
Another incident that shows the
deadly power of chlorine occurred in
Widnes some time back. A hawker
from a distance came with a donkey
cart, and drew up in a yard attached
to gome chemical works where bleach.
Ing powder was being made. Sudden-
ly there rose the familiar cry of "Rog-
er is coming!" followed by the usual
rush for safety on the part o1 the
workers. Only the hawker, ignorant
of the terrile danger, stood gazing
open-mouthed at the flying figures, and
wondering what all the commotion
was aout. And he would have been
caught by the green gas, 'without
doubt, had not a burly workman paus-
ed for a moment to pick him up in
his arms and bear him, kicking and
struggling, to safety. He did not even
get a taste of the chlorine, but when
he returned a few minutes later he
found his d.nkey stone -dead -poison-

A VERSATILE LABORITE
rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson Worked
Hard to Win High Position
The Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson,
M,P., whose knowledge of labor ques-
tions gained from a place in the coali-
tion government, has had a romantic
career. He was born in Glasgow in
1863 and started life as an iron -
moulder in a Newcastle factory. His
schooling was but scanty, and he was
obliged to educate himself in his spare
time. His ability and perseverance
soon made an impression on his fel-
low workers, and after many years'
work as a Trade Unionist leader he
entered Parliament as labor member
for the Barnard Castle division of Dur-
ham in 1903. He is now Chairman
of the Labor party, and is a Privy
Councillor, a Wesleyan and a popular
tag Preacher.

A WiTTY BELGIAN i
When the Germans finally entered
Belgium a native of Liege made him-
self obnoxious to one troop by his con-
stant loud talk about the brave de-
fence. Finally the commander sum-
moned him.
"Now, you've boasted about
enough," he said, "We can't listen
to you any longer. I'm going to give
you your choice: you will be shot or
will swear allegiance to the German
Emperor."
Considerably subdued, the offender
wondered. "Well," he decided, "I
don't want to die, so I guess I'll, swear
allegiance."
"All right," said the commander,
