Lines.
A despatch from the American
Army of Occupation says: More than
a million and a half of prisoners of
various nationalities have been releas-
ed by the Germans, according to esti-
mates based upon repo',s received by
the Third Army.
Of this number approximately
250,000 will pass through the A1n-
eriean lines, and will be fed by the
Americans. Most of the quarter of
a million prisoners are French, Eng-
lish. Italian and American soldiers.
The army, assisted by the Salvation
Army and the Young Men's Christian
Association and the knights of Col-
; um us, is shouldering the bulk of
1 the 'teak. •
1 The population of the Grand
Duchy of Luxemburg already has
been. doubled- by the arrival of the
ormv of occupation. The •question
of feeding the former prisoners is -
taxing the American transport facili-
ties owing to the fact that the new

cans are getting farther each day I
from the base of supplies.
EPITAPH BRITISH SOLDIERS
many and Generals Are De-
voted to His Cause.
A despatch from Leaden says: "It
would be a great n nistake to suppose
the Kaiser is done with; he has many
adherents in Germany who are quite
resolved not to take the recent defeat
lying down," is the opinion given tire'
Daily Mail's correspondent at The
Il:ague by a Dutch citizen who- spent
the whole period of the revelation in
Bremerhaven, and now has returned
Ito holland.
The returned Dutchman estimates
the proportion- of loyalists to revo-
jlutionists as one to two, and he says
a large Humber of soldiers are what
might be called "true to, the Kaiser."
It must not be itna(tined, he insists,
that the German army, although
j mailer than before, has ceased to
I exist. On the contrary, lie repre-
sents it as very moth in existence
and, moreover, commanded by Gen-
e' orals
en-porals devoted.to tIle Emperor's cause.
I The correspondent's informant did
not doubt that something in the
:diem.' -of. a counter-revolution would
be attempted before long. .He said
the red flag is still freely displayed
in Brenieehaven, but 'he heard Mate
it bad almost disappeared in the
Rhine ditteiet.
A despatch from Paris says: Wil-
liam Hohenzollern can be extradited,
in the opinion of. Professor Batheleny
of the Paris law faculty, who` explains
that his guiding principle, is that
EP
"Their Name Livetlt For Ever-
more" to be Engraved on
Memorial.
A despatch from London says: -
"Their name lived' for evermore."
This is the phrase that will be en-
graved upon the great . memorial
stone which is to be erected in each
of the cemeteries of British soldiers
who have fallen In the war. It -is the
suggestion of-Budyard Kipling, who,
in submitting the phrase to the Im-
perial War Graves Commission, wrote,
"It was necessary to find a word of
praise and honor which should be
both simple and well known, compre-
hensible, and of the same value in all
tongues, and also standing as far as
might be outside the flax of men and
things.
"After search and consultation with
all ranks, and many races in our
armies and navies, as well as with
those who had given their sons, it
seemed to me that no single phrase
could be better than that which
closes the tribute to the famous men
in Ecclesiastes: 'Their name livetll
for evermore.'"
ONE TANK BATTALION
NOW ON ITS WAY HOME
A despatch from Ottawa says: At
the Militia Department it was stated
that the Second Canadian Tank Bat-
talion is now on its way home. The
First Tank Battalion:. is not coming
at present and the date of its return
could net be learned. In returning
the Second Tank Battalion, the Mili-
tia Department is following its policy
of clearing up certain troops in Eng-
land before the real demobilization
of the C.E.F. starts. Low category
men, now in England, and men who
are not required and are also in the
British Isles, are being sent home. It
will in all probability be some time
before men now in France will be
moved.
GREAT BRITAIN'S DEAD
IS A FULL MILLION
A despatch from: Loudon says: --
It is officially announced that during
the war the forces of Great Britain
actually lost nearly one million men
killed or dead through various causes.
Recently it was stated that the
British losses totaled 668,704, 'hut
this number- did not take into con-
sideration men who were reported
missing who actually lost their lives,
but of whom there is no trace, nor
did it account for, mere who died at
the front from sickness.

Ias long been abandoned. Ile notes
that Belgium, in 1856, classed regi-
( tides among common law criminals.
Crines such as the assassinations of
President Carnot of France and King
Humbert of a Italy were inspired by
political motives, be points out; and
yet the authors of them were exe-
cuted.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the Professor con-
tinues, are condensed even in a
state of war by international Ia'a*,
and constitute common law crimes.
To maintain that they are not, be-
cause the object for which they were
committed was political, is, he argues,
an absurdity.
BELGIUM HAS BEEN CLEARED

hare and one of the men saw a bear.

Members of the Canadian army in-

A despatch 1rOnt the British Armies
i11 Belgium says: When I crossed the
field of Waterloo the British and
French troops were not far Bipart and
were moving in unison towards the
Germine :frontier, A British generel
was standing beside the great bO'Q17ze

the distance•, -a }wonderful panarema
of advancing ermiee.
The Britieh troope were fortunate
enough 'to find Waterloo • ea their
itinerary, and they have passed most
interesting hours on this battlefield.
The men clustered around' a little Bel-
gian guide who told the story of the
battle very clearly acrd'' in excellent- -
English' and they bombarded •11im with
questions. They were amazed to find
that the opposing armies were so close
together. I saw a sergeant carefully
studying the position of Hougoumont
from the mound of the lion and then
I heard hint say to his companions
that "a few trench mortal's would
have settled the business,"
"The Germans looked their last on
Waterloo ten clays ago. They were
nearly starving, and a woman told
me that one of their last acts was to
kill and eat her pet cat.

A despatch from 'London' says:
Writing in The Daily Mail on what
Canada is going. to do about the ex-
tensive land holding on the Pacific
coast of the kaiser, acquired through
his agents, a writer says he was en-
abled during his connection with the
Government departilient to gain much
knowledge of the., activities of the
Count Alveneleben in British Caitlin -
hie. They bought up large tracts,
both on the mainland and Vancouver
Island, in various names, but all
ought to have been in one name alone,
William Hohenzollern. Remarking on
the uncertainty of the whereabouts
now of the Alvenslebens, who dis-
appeared , after tate. outbrealc of the
war, the article concludes "in any
case it is certain the whole of the
Alvensleben transactions will be thor-
oughly investigated, and Canada will
not 'stand for any dealings with the
ex -Kaiser or leis friends."
