Several days later another raid
Was made upon Paris, and Director
Brans narrates Beetles accompanying
this: "While in my office I heard the
sirens shrieking through the streets
en all sides and knew that eve were to
experience another air raid. It was
impossible to sit quiet in the house
during- this excitement, and I macre
1ny way down stairs with a view to
going out and seeing what was to he
seen. When I reached the ground
Ilepr all the lights in the Union had
blren extinguished.
"Soon came a French soldier with
his girl on his arm and a flashlight to
find his way. I spoke to them and
was invited to join them, which I
did, they ansa seeking the Rue de la
Pain, as it chanced. Meanwhile a
great booming of guns. With the
help of a searchlight we finally pick-
ed out the Mirabeau Hotel. There I
found a friend dining, reclining com-
fortably on a sofa, yawning, smoking
and in his slippers.
"And every little while we could
hear the explosion of bombs very near
us. When things quieted I left my
friend and proceeded back to the
Opera. At the Opera metro (sub-
way) station a crowd had taken re-
fuge.
"Guns were still booming. Air-
planes were still visible sailing
th' 11gh the skies. The Parisians are
variously affected by sklch raids. We-
lton and children usually seek shel-
ter in the metro stations. Others ap-
pear quite unconcerned. Soldiers and
their girls go singing gayly along the
streets."

10 many respects the forest wealth
of. Australia is unique. In bygone
years, before the settlers' axes broke
the stillness of the mighty bush, the
number of our trees and the variety
of their species placed this island
continent in the front rank of the
timber -producing countries of the
world, but those who had the order-
ing of thing%, did not know—certain-
ly did not appreciate—the. immense
*este that was being caused by the
indiscriminate inroads that were made
in order that people might clear the
land for the grazing of herds and
flocks, or for growing crops. Only in
recent years has there been recogni-
tion of the importance to Australia
of a systematic and stable policy of
forest conservation, improvement and
utilization; but even now few people
take any interest in the subject of
forestry as a national concern, and
fewer still have troubled themselves
to think why Governments reserve
large areas of land for the sake of
the trees that grow and may be
grown upon it,
In other words, forestry in Austra-
lia is, , so far as the public, who own
the forests, are concerned, a subject
of no interest. The labor expended
Upon them is not understood; the
strict rules made for their protection
are often misunderstood, sometimes
ridiculed, and not infrequently wil-
fully ignored. That is not as it should
he; but the reason is not difficult to
find, The people do not understand
their forests; they do not know the
great commercial value they are to
the country; they have not been
taht to look upon trees as much
m„re than a source of supply for fuel
and fencingmaterial; and they have
been satisfied that the great countries
overseas should send us the timber
needed for everyday requirements
and take in return our good A.ustra-
Paan gold. •

THE WORK OF
THE SHIP DOCTORS
THREE WEEKS IN THE DRY
DOCK HOSPITAL,
A Navy Officer Tells How at Battered
Creaser Was Made Hale and
Well Again.
The groat cruiser was indeed in a
pitiable state; she looked the epitome
of desolation and misery as the fussy
little tugs hauled her gently past the
chequered forts at Spithead, and
headed her tenderly towards that
holne of healing for such battered
hulk as she—Portsmouth R'byal
Dockyard.
Her foremast was snapped off
short, and her fire control top had
completely disappeared; the fore fun-
nel looked like a battered tin -can or a
squashed concertina, and her bridge
was a mass of twisted steel and splin-
tered woodwork. The great fore tur-
ret looked as though attacked with a
gigantic tin-opener; the colossal right
twelve -inch gun was snapped off
short, the claw edges of the steel
showing' like the teeth of a beast of
prey. The midship funnel had com-
pletely disappeared with its casing,
but the after one, strangely enough,
had not received so much as a scratch
on its paintwork.
"Bearing Her Blushing honors."
The armored hull bore evidence to
the straight shooting indulged in by
the enemy. Circular holes indicated l'
where the monster shells had passed b
clean through; deep dents showed
where the resisting plates had turned
them off. One projectile had carried
a high-pressure turbine completely
off its bed in the port engine room.
Others had reined boilers, so that
eight -out of a score could only be u
trusted to raise steam. But, damaged d
as she was, the great cruiser was
triumphant also—a sixteen -foot h
square collision mat spread over her
bows covered a gaping hole made
when she, in her last extremity, lift-
ed her ram and jammed it clean ex
through the side of her insolent fop. ce
After that, what did it matter if the ex
foremost compartments filled with flu
water,. if the deck did slant down- to
wards till every ripple sent a film of al
inside the ship, driving out old rivets;
drills chopped thro'tgh armored bolts
like kniros thruugh eheeso; saws rut
away buttered plating as though it
lead been tissue paper, The work
went on day and night as le lander u
magician's wand.
Aad when at the end of their three
week' leave ---they burl well earned
the rest --the cruiser's complement
returned to their ship, they ;mind
that not only had her wound:: been
repaired, not only was she fully
equipped at all points and ready for
immediate action if needs be, but the
dockyardmen had hauled her out of
dock and placed her head toward the
Chennel, had filled her bunkers with
0011.1 and her magazines with ammu-
nition sooth, they had healed her
and convalesced her, and passed her

BUTTER FROM POTATOES,
Palatable Article Can Be Manufactur-
ed for Ten Cents a Pound,
Potato butter is recommended by
the British ministry of food as a
cheap substitute for butter, being
made in England at a cost of less,
than ten cents per pound, as follows:
"Peel the potatoes and boil until
they fall to pieces and become floury.
Teen run through a fine sieve into
a warmed basin fourteen ounces of
.potatoes and add two ounces of but-
ter or margarine and one teaspoon-
ful of salt. Stir until smooth and
then mold into rolls and keep in a
cool place. To make the appearance
approvable use butter coloring, and
if intended to keep beyond a few
days a butter preservative should be
added."

The Wings of the Aeroplane.
War conditions have afforded an
cellent opportunity for farmers in
rtain sections of Canada to engage
tensively in the production of fibre
x. They will thereby not only add
their sources of income, but will
so be of direct and vital aid in the
war efforts of the Allies. The mas-
ry of the air is proving a great,
rhops the determining factor, in the
niggle now going on, Aeroplanes
e being built in vast numbers as
rapidly as possible. As a covering
for the wings of these, linen is the
only material found satisfactory.
Large quantities are also needed for
machine gun webbing, ambulance and

ens, and a number of other uses.

So near, so far apart!

Sugar Saving 25 Per Cent.
The recent sugar restrictions pass-
ed by the Canada Food Board will
have the effect of saving about 100,-
000 tons, approximately 25 per cent,
of our normal consumption. These
restrictions are rendered absolutely
necessary by the shipping and xail
transportation situation. There is
sugar m Cuba but we cannot get it
into Canada. What we can get we
smut conserve for preserving time.

Eat More Fish.
Efforts have been made throughout
Canada to produce and market more
fish. This country has fish resources,
which have been exploited commer-
cially for the export trade, but only
in the big cities have fresh fish been
available regularly to private con-
sumers. On the Pacific Coast and the
Atlantic Const, on the lakes of the
West, on the lakes of Northern On-
, tario and the Great Lakes, fishermen
will procure fish if the demand for it
becomes regular and constant. Eat
more fish and save meat for the men
at the front.
Obligation to Save Food,
Every pound of food saved by each
Canadian citizen is a pound given to
the support of our army and the Al-
lies. Every pound wasted or eaten
unnecessarily is a pound withheld
from them. It is a direct personal
obligation on the part of each of us
to someone in Europe whom we are
bound to help.

pigeon in question has been given the
name of "V.C." and preserved by a
London firm. In the action tvllich
was fought in the region of the He-
nin Road on October 3rd, 1917, this
bird was dispatched with a message
from the front line to divisional
headquarters at LSO pen. During its
passage it was struck by a German
bullet which broke one of its legs, de- I
nucling the bone (the tibia) of all
flesh and drove the metal cylinder
containing the message into the side I

its back. In spite of all the wounds)
and being out ill the wet all night the
bird struggled home to its loft, a dis-
tance of nine miles, and delivered its

Share British Wheat.
We have shipped much of our pre-
cious wheat to the French and Ital-
ians and we must face the fact that
this has changed conditions so that
they conceivably may become acute
in the United Kingdom. Unless the
people of Canada and the United
States speed up their production of
food supplies, the allied peoples may
find it very difficult to carry this war
on to that conclusion which will mean
a permanent peace.
