WAR'S FINAL STAGE
HAS NOW ARRIVED
REASONS FOR THINKING GREAT
DIVIDE HAS BEEN PASSED.
Superiority..ef Eilteitte Powers Steads
fly Increases While Germany
Drops Behind.
We have reached, after. two years
and a halt the final stage of the war.
Now that Germany's final thrust, in
the shape of unrestricted submarine
warfare, has been made, and is fail-
ing, and the Allies: are at last ready
for such a gigantic campaign in the
field as may well'dismay the Central
.-_Powers, a victorious end is only a
ea -nation of.,,time, Constantly is the
.Teuton .morale• and•.power declining;
constantly is that of the Entente ries
tag. The ,Great Divide has been paws -
ed, and henceforth. the Entente powers
progress, day by day, nearer their.
goal. la a military, naval and econo-
mic -way their superiority grows every
week. A high British military au-
thority, knowingmany circumstances
and conditions yet hidden from • the
public, announces that the Allies con-
sider the fighting season of 1917 to be
the final stage of the war, From many
British and French officials comes the
sante opinion. They believe that, un=
der conditions as they exist in Ger-
many and Austria, one supreme, com-
bined thrust this year, will topple over
-si heating elected ` by" Prussian
militarism. It is only a question of
time as to when the final .stage will
end, but that it is here no longer ad-
mits of dispute.
Entente Superiority Increases.
The reasons. for this are succinctly
set forth by this high army official.
The Entente Allies have attained a
previously unknown increase, of
strength in the field, through an
abundance of artillery and munitions,
and co-ordination between artillery
and infantry. 'tlthat this means was
shown at Verdun recently, when four
French army corps recovered Douau-
mont, Vaux; Pepper Hill, etc.—all of
the original Verdun defences—in a

,with total casualties on their owl'
r side of about'4.,000. Four army divi-
sions smashed up five'" German divi-
sions. with losses only one-fourth of
what the Germans suffered. Sir Doug-
las Haig has declared that the Brit-
ish army will be able to smash
through the German Western front
at many points this year, and prac-
tically destroy the Western army,
notwithstanding that it has been re-
inforced -up to a strength of three mil-

Russian and Italian Development.
Were it not for German stiffening,
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Tor-
]tey would collapse before the Entente
s.,m'ithout a real struggle. That much is
plain from Brussiloff's smashing of
the Austrian armies last Summer. But
1 the Russian armies of 1017 will be
t. • vastly more powerful than they were
last year, Like Britain, Russia has
had the men, but needed the time to
get them trained and organized and
equipped. Britain has been busy in
the last. year seeing they got equip-

and when the Germans find them -

East and West fronts, what happens
at Trieste and Istria on the Italian
front, will seem of truly minor import-
ance. Austria will then have to shift
for herself. It is not likely to be true
that Hindenburg will try u big offen-
sive against Italy. The Teutons can-
not afford to weaken even temporarily
against the British and Russian
armies, and without doing so they
cannot now spare troops for the inde-
cisive movement against Italy. The
new troops raised from•the dregs. of
Germany's civilian population cannot
be used as were the first line troops
with which Germany so proudly be-
gan the war.
PAINLESS .CURE FOR BURNS.
New Mixture Wonderfully Effective in
Cure of Liquid Fire 'Wounds.
Wonderful stories have reached this
country of the remarkable success •iii
curing burns from explosions and
liquid fire through the medium of a
mixture called amberine. In the
World's Work, in a group of articles
entitled "Wonders of War Surgery,"
the composition and application of this
healing wax is described. Here is how
it- is applied:
A. young soldier with his hands and
forearms bandaged was led in by an
•orderly and seated on a stool. A nurse
removed the bandages and the burned
skin. She washed off' the pus with
a small rubber .hose, and dried the
flesh with an electric hot-air drier.
Then she brought an atomiser filled
with a hot liquid This she sprayed
carefully over the hand and forearm,
so that they wore soon entirely cover-
ed with a soft, white, waxlike cover-
ing.
While it was still hot shelaid strips
of thin cotton batting over it and
painted this with the same liquid un-
til the whole wound was sealed in
under the drying liquid. Then she
wrapped it- up in thicker cotton .bat-
ting, and went to work on the other
hated.
Whatever the victim may have felt
about it, this was a very simple case.
I saw the hands a week later and they
were covered with new, supple skin. It
is net quite so simple a matter when
the burns are deeper, but es the pro-
cess is

burn, before going on to describe
other eures I had perhaps better de-
scribe the process.
,The liquid which does the work is
nothing more than a combination of
paraffin and resin. Itmakes an air-
tight covering over the burn and, at
the same time, soothes the wound and
allays the pain.
Laid on with a brush it would be
painful, ,but as it drops in tiny glo-
bules the patient does not even feel
the fall of the spray on the flesh, and
it is quickly covered with. a waxy sur-
face that becomes airtight as soon as

Marmalade Is Economic,,
This is the season for marmalade
making. Now, when oranges and
grape -fruit are fairly cheap and al -
moat everything else is fairly dear,
mtu'ntala'de should be an economy.
Marmalade may, while taking the
place of fruit, also take the place of
butter and do duty as cake. ' So it
should be worth the- sugar it takes.
Instead of always using it -for-
breakfast try it for tea, or even din-
iter, using it for this meal in the form
of dessert. A good sized plate full
made of thin slices of bread with the
marmalade between—no' butter. Sup-
pose you have a milk soup for tea then
you will require nothing more with
this to make a wholesome and, rather
tasty meal, than a plate of these sand-
wiches—soyou save on butter, cake
and other preserved fruit. • The
sandwiches do not require a very thick
layer of the marmalade. Now and
then use them, too, as easy dinner des-
serts. Occassionally use nuts,
cheese, or cocoanut which are rich in
both protein and fat (meat value). We
all know how delicious good sand-
