Identifying Dead Soldiers.
Each of the armies in this great
war, says the Christian Herald, has a
system that enables it to identify the
dead. The Russian soldier wears a
numbered badge; the French soldier
has an identification card stitched
into his tunic; the German soldier has
a little metal disk that bears his
name; the British soldidi has are alu-
minum disk, with identification mmeki,
and church affiliations; the Japanese
soldier has three disks, all ; alike, one
round his neck, another in his belt,
and another in his boot; and the Aus-
trian soldier has a gun-metal badge,

leaf within. The Turk is the only sol-
dier so lightly valued that he carries
no badge. Identification is evidently
regarded as unnecessary in his case.

Since the war Poland has suffered,
t is said, to an even greater degree
than Belgium. Denied, as they were,
to impelling voice in the events out
if which the war grew, the Polish
)eople have had to bear the brunt of
error. Men of international re-
nown who had retired to country
tomes for the declining years of life
lave seen everything swept away.
Some have been driven to cellars
where the only food left would, in
tormal times, have been regarded as
lardly fit .for domestic animals. Po-

PERSONAL POINTERS.
Interesting Gossip About some Prom-
nent People.
The Queen of the Belgians, called.
affectionately the "Angel Queen" by
the Belgian soldiers, is a daughter of
Duke Carl Theodore of, Bavaria.
The Duchess d'Aosta, who takes a
great part in Red Cross work in
Rome, was born at Twickenham. Al-
though delicate, she is a great devotee
of big -game hunting.
Captain J. H. S. Dimmer, who won
the V.C. by gallantly handling a
machine-gun against the Prussian
Guards, confesses that the honor has
brought publicity to the point of be-
coming "a worry and annoyance."
Miss Mary Garden, the opera sing-
er, is of Scottish extraction, and has a
pretty wit. When asked if a woman
of the world could dress on $1,250 a
year, she promptly retorted: "It may
be possible, but what's the use?",
Lady Cardigan, whose "Memoirs"
caused such a stir a few years ago,
has many Crimean relics in her home
at Deene Park, Northamptonshire, in-
cluding the head of the charger which
her husband rode at the head of the
famous Light Brigade at Balaclava.
Mr. John Redmond has sartorial
ambitions. He is wearing a silk hat
with a rather low, massive crown that
suits his striking head. When the
sun . shines he blossoms forth into a
light-colored trilby and a flower in his
buttonhole. He is easily the best-
dressed man in the Irish Party.
The least -discussed member of the
British Government to -day is Mr. Bir-
rell, who seems to have relapsed into
obscurity. Ile makes no speeches,
and he no longer 'tBirrells"—that is to
say, talks charmingly in the "obiter
dicta" vein. He looks a tired man,
and it is doubtful whether he would
not. welcome retire' from the Cabinet.
There was a discussion at one of
the London clubs the other, evening as
to the unlucky thirteen Superstition.
An M.P., who had been quietly listen-
ing, intervened with the remark: "The
best speech for years Was based on a
phrase of thirteen Tetters. It was
'Wake up, England!' by his Majesty
the Xing." That settled the discus-
sion.
If you were to ask General Smith-
Dorrien what he thought of the Cana-
dian heroism at Ypres his answer in
all likelihood would be: "1 always said'
they -were fine." For years he has
said: "Give me a thousand Colonials
who can ride and shoot, and in six
months' time they will be able to meet
with advantage the finest Continental
troops that can be brought against
them."
Paderewski, whose eloquent appeal
for our help for the Polish .victims of,
the war has brought him into the
limelight ` again, probably thinks the
highest honor ever paid to him was
when he was, asked by the Princess
Louise to sit to .her for his portrait,
which her Royal Highness finished in
three sittings. It would be rather in-
teresting to know what has become of
that painting.
Of a morning, taking a walk in
Hyde Park, London, there may be met
a bachelor who lives in one of the
largest mansions in London. He is
M. Paul Cambon, France's trusted
Ambassador to the Court of St.
James's, and one of the pillars of the
Entente Cordiale, and his house is the
great corner building by Albert Gate,
where, in a quiet hour stolen from the
cares of diplomacy, he may be found
immersed in the chessboard.
A very anxious sovereign at the
moment must be Queen Wilhelmina,
whose country the war has placed in
such a difficult position. Happily her
health nowadays is better than it used
to be, and this no doubt gives her
greater strength to face whatever is-
sues the future may have in store.
Her chief pleasure lies in the studio
that she has fitted up in her palace,
and there, some time ago, she painted
a number of beautiful illustrations
founded on "The Arabian Nights."
Sir Percy Girouard, who is helpin
