"The .Battle of the Somme has now been presented at the Marble Arch' Theatre, and should prove a popular thaw. There is no .51ternpt to weave romantic fiction round the grim facts •oreen any waY to eilnts upon so-called romance' of ever. Thera 10 no romance here at all—just plain, uuvainisitod, though to a oertairi ox. tent cleaned -up, pictures of everyday, Me in the' trenches; following the big- gun, creeping along in the shelter o1 u• tanks, or flying: with the a,•r- danes in an attack upon captive ob- s' rvation balloons. No fiction is let/educed, certain well - ti known °eminences aro reproclacecl, among them that act of supremo emir- a.gefor. which Private Veale, of ,rho Ilighth Devonshire Regimeet,.goth the Victoria Cross, This scene Is;enactell by the gallant soldier l;du soli. Pri- vate Veils -saw 'an arm waving ap- pealingly out in No Man's Land. Fac- ing a shell and machine gun fire, he wont out to reconnoiter and found one of the officers of his regiment ly- ing:.out .there wounded and helpless, e Privato' Veale administahed first aid. and then crawled back to the trench for volunteers to come and -help carry the wounded gfiicer in. Two men vol- untcered, but both were put out of action Ttejr Private Veale made an- other journey to the trench, bringing back more volnuteers and his. own Lewis gun to help cover their return, Eventuailythe aflicer'was rescued, and Private Vesloreturned safely after several hours of fearless' and gallant work. Other incidents are also re- corded. of pereonal heroism, in each of which cases the Cross lead to be posthumously awarded. We are shown the first advafice.of the tanks very vividly end ehare the amazing surprise which their appear- ` ante upon the scenecaussd to both friend andfoe alike, from whom their secret had been so cleverly kept. One sees in a flash the revolution in trench warfare that was produced by then'. arrival. One (lay the enemy's trenches were practically impregnable, the next day they were almost obs(fleto. We sea many repro'tuctions of she- elite engagements in which specific, regihnents distinguish themselves; night surprise attacks and marches by the light of the fitful flashes of the guns. Nor are the scenes outirely without Whir note of comedy. One remembers one scene especially whore a village is occupied at night with great stealth and strategy by an Eng- lish reconnoitering party; lingers on +4 triggers of revolvers and .pIns of pins. of bombs, everyone on the qui vivo of excitement and intenelty on both sides. One shot from either side and pandemonhnn will reign. For- tunately that shot was never fired. For, at the last moment, it is covered that that these two forces steal- thily creeping on each other in tho darkness are the slides. Among the last Mims are some plc - tures of the most prosaic and yet un- conquerable enemy of the 'wholo war —the Flanders mud, These pictures' should oortalnly destroy any linger- ing illusions of the romance of war, and a fitting climax is the eloquent map showing the ultimate gain in these tremendous struggles, so11-sacri- aces and incredible toil, work and ex- pease which the Somme battles cost. A few hundred square milds of shell - riven mud! And this perhaps illust- rates the most lasting good that may be done by these portrayals ofhis- torically accurate pictures of the Great War. The one pervading impression that remains behind is ono of waste. A waste of everytbing—money, courage, Ability, invention and all the things that should be busily employed mak- ing the world a happier place to live in. 11 the effect of these pictures is to express indelibly and unforgettably upon the multitudes who see them the utter wasto and wiokednees of war from any point of vlew whatsoever, then they will not have been released In vain. Canadian -Javan Trade Victoria, B.C.—Canada's trade with ee Java and contiguous territory will show an Important increase in the next few years, according to Robert S. O'Meara, Canadian Trade Commis.

Did you ever success- fully get away with anything? Why not quit trying? A man, being congratulated upon the economy practiced by his wife, replied: "She certainly is a wonder. She sold 60 cents worth, of beans out of the garden yesterday, took $1,25 worth of milk bottles to the grocery, stopped in at a furniture store and bought a ewalnut bedroom suite for $175.00." A woman likes almost as well to be asked Trow old she is as a man does to bo asked how much salary he gets.

The Tablets are praised by thousands Of mothers throughout the country. Those mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for her children she will use nothing else, Concerning them Mrs, Charles Hutt, Taucock Island, N,S, writes: "I have ten children, the baby being just six months old, I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years. and can truthfully say that 1 know of no better medicine for little ones. I always keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would ad- vise all other mothers to do sol" Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or will be mailed upon receipt of price, 25 cants per box, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Battle of the Flags Manohoster Guardian (Lib.); Doubt- less to Germane the battle—still rag- ing hotly—for supremacy between the official colors of the Republic—black, red, and gold --and the old black, white, and red of Imperial days is one. of principle, but to the rest of Europe it is becoming sIlghtly ridiculous. There 1s no doubt which in law are the national colors, but the present Government, being composed of Re- publicans, lukewarm Republicans, and Monarchists, cannot agree to enforce the law, and the tame compromise that the blade, red and gold flag must be flown along with any other flag displayed is all that it dare suggest.. pressing -buttons will be carried to `' one "i;e Joico' great perfection. "The population will, I think, begin to decrease slowly about 1950. The increase at present is entirely due to the preponderance of young 11553 in the population, which keeps the crude death rate (about 12 per 1,000) -very much below the real death rate (about 18 per 1,000). A decline in numbers would relieve the terrible dlurden of unemployment, whieb, in part at least, is clearly due to aver -population and a little more elbow -room would be very desirable."
