The Sphere, one of London's fam- ous illustrated weeklies, publishes an elaborate record of the Camdian Expeditionary Force. It is called "From- Valeartier to Valenciennes." A record of the glories of Canada's eiariliaar Army."It is written as a tribute from an Englishman serving with the C.E.F. Some quotations are here made from it: The great Dominion lived epaeious- ly apart, secure in her immensity, and immune from the entanglements of European strife. The hour of war struck without warning. And when war came to England, the Englishman looked questioningly masters in other brunches of modern at his brothers beyond the seas In war. The Canadian system of light the past there had been no little flag-' railways was a signal triumph over the motor in bringing up supplies or in following up a push. The quantity of timber required by the armies was enormous. The Canadian troops brought the art of lumbering to Europe, and the Cana- dian Forestry Corps supplied timber not only to their own corps, but td the armies of the British, the Bel- gians and the French. One million tons of timber, equivalent to 455,000,- 000 feet board measure, was their re- cord for the first eight months of this year. In the summer of 1918, too, great forest fires broke out behind the lines in France. The French, unable to cope with them, called in the Cana- dians. Miles of roaring furnaces were extinguished and the thanks of the French Government was the Forestry Corps' reward. Nor should one forget the Canadian Corps Salvage Company. It saved material to the value of nearly $20,- 000,000. Such, in brief, is the proud record of the Canadians.

But now? Now that England Kaci need of her sons beyond the seas, would they answer her call? So far as Canada went there was no need to call. With unerring instinct, the Dominion realized that this was a fight of right against might --of autocracy against democracy. With spontaneous unity, the people of an- ada arose and threw all they had' into the Motherland's lap, The first of their gifts, apart from their love and their loyalty and their whole -hearted aid, was a full division equipped and armed for the field—a gift bestowed by cable. On October 14, just over two Months later, the first contingent, •'38,000 strong, landed on the shores of 'Eng- land. Even so, Canada's declaration that she would raise half a million leen, was accepted with reserve. But in 1918 that great pledge was on the eve of fulfilment. Upwards of. 400,- 000 Canadians had come over seas, while 70,000 more were in the train- ing camps in Canada.

Gast of Stefaneson's Party Lands Safely on Coast of Alaska After Years on Eoe Floe. The Department of. the Naval Ser - Vice tit Ottawa has receiNed from Yu- kon, Alaska, a despatch from Stoker Storkersen announcing the safe lirri- vel of his ice exploration party on November 7 last, on the north coast of Alaska. This brings to an end thea exploratory work of the Canadian Arc- tic Expedition. The work carried out by Storkersen •was planned by Mr. Stefausson, who Intended to command the party per- sonally, but was prevented from do- ing so by typhoid, which overtook him about three weeks before the expect- ed start. Storkersen's party, when they left the north eclttst of .Alaska at Cross Is- land. consisted of nine .whites and four Eskimos. with sledges. They started March 15, 1918. ri.i:ter about • two weeks of travel northward across the ice Storkonsensent back three of the sledges and four of the men. Two hundred miles from Alaska he sent back three more sledges and all but four of his companions. Their plan then was to camp on the. ice, and drift with it, They carried practically no provisions, expeeting to live on seals and Iaolar boars. No Currents 4✓estv'ard. It had been the general belief of geographers and Polars that there was a current running westward and that Storkersen's party would bo car- ried west parallel to the coast of Si- beria. Had the drift been to the west- ward, Storkersen would undoubtedly -have remained on the ice all winter, but it appears from his despatch that no such westward drift was Pound, but that the ice cake on which they were camped was carried around in what may be considered a large eddy. They commenced their drift about 73 north latitude and 146 west Iongtitude. The most north-westerly point reached by then Storkersen reports to have been 74 north latitude and 152 west longi- tude. While the most easterly point reached was 144q west longitude. In addition to valuable deep-sea sound- ings, which" were taken, although no report of them has been received, this exploration has shown the inaccuracy of the theory previously held as to currents in this part of the Polar Sea, and has given additional demonstra- tion of the safety and suitability for Polar exploration of the method of living on the country. for Storkersen reports that after seven inont]rs with- out other provision than those secured by his rifle, his party landed all safe. The other four members of the party were: l3ustav Masik, Lorne Knight, Martin Kilian .and G. G. 0t mar. HOHENZOLLERN'S GHOST White Lady of Bayreuth Still Causes Dread in Ex -Ruler's Life. Superstitious people who know the family history are attributing the sad death of Captains Angus Mackintosh from pneumonia, in Washington, to the family curse. The young captain, who was a sou -in-law of the Duke of Devonshire„ belonged to the house of Moy, which was cursed many years ago by a girl, who prayed that: Never a son of a chief of Moy, Might live to protect :his father's age; Or close in peace his dying eye, Or gather his gloomy%ier'itage. To -day the Kaiser Lives in dread of the tune of the White Lady of Bayreuth, whose story is being re- called by one or two German papers, in view of the fall of the Hohen: ol- leen dynasty. According to histor- ians, the White Lady of Bayreuth ie the ghost of a certain German count- ess who murdered her two children a.nd committed suicide because of her hopeless passion for tt royal lover who refused to legitimize their union. She cursed the Ilohenzollerns and threatened to revisit thele, bringing ruin and tragedy. Lately, it `es said, the dreaded apparition, which has ap- peared at various intervals, notably before +the death of the ex-ICaiser°a father and grandfather, has reappears ed—a precursor of death or disaster to the German royal family. On Condition. The soldier had been severely wounded, 'and (luring the convales- cent stage was ordered sherry and egg as a pick-me-up. One day the doctor attending hila asked hint how he liked his diet. "Well," said the blue -boy, "if the sherry was as old as the egg and the egg as flesh as the sherry, I •believe I would enjoy it as much ea anything else 1 :could think •of."
