General Sir John Nixon overcome them, and overcome. the Turks into the Bargain. Germany is growing a little less confident about a Berlin -Bagdad thoroughfare, we and all know in what terms Mr. Asquith, in his statement on the war the other day in Parliament, referred to Sir John's victorious campaign. "In April,' said the Prime Minister, "a second division was added to the force, and the command was assumed by General . Sir John Nixon. After a brilliant series, and an absolutely, chequered series, of land and river operations, the Turks were driven back both up the Euphrates and up the Tigris. In July their final posi- tions on both rivers were captured, with heavy casualties, and General Nixon's :force is now within a measur- able distance of Bagdad. I do not think that in the whole course of the war there has been a series of opera- tions more carefully contrived, more brilliantly conducted, and with a bet- ter prospect of final success." LATEST WIRE TOY SOLDIERS. Has Devised Something New. The children of Europe are so im- bued with the martial spirit that it enters largely into their play, and even the stories written for present consumption are for the most part about battles and valiant deeds. To meet this situation a woman has de- vised evised something in lien of the time honored tin soldier, something that will soon relegate the latter to the at-' tic or a like out of the way corner. Her idea has been to create minia- ture figures so flexible or alive, as she expresses it, that they could assume any natural attitude. It took much patience and no end of pains to work out these diminutive make believe soldiers. She finally hit upon the no- tion of a wire skeleton wound about with thread to represent body en's - stance. This gave her the desired flexibility, and it was an easy matter then to clothe thein suitably, Suitably in Germany meant a garb of field gray, the color of the :uniforms worn by the Kaiser's fighting glen at the front. Of course there must be contending. armies to give the real complexion of a battlefield, and the enemy is repre- sented in the uniforms of the Allies. The wire foundation of the figures makes it possible to simulate liuntan movements to a nicety, and therefore the make believe soldiers may be pos- ed to represent the digging of trenches, the throwing of band gren- ales, the working of guns, the charge of infantry, the toilsome march or the peaceful atmosphere of a catnp. _se Sixty thousand pairs of boots are being produced in Northampton every clay. A '\Volnan Club Founded to Encourage Raising of the Animals. This is the time, when milk is dear and supplies for the householder are limited, that the picturesque and use- ful goat takes a higher position in the economic scale in England. Goat keeping by the small holder has increased considerably since the war, and suburban residents, too, have found the ownership of a goat or two less troublesome and more-pfofitable than pigeons, rabbits or even poultry. In the view, however, of the Rev. A. C. Atkins, founder of the new Na- tional Utility Goat Club, the keeping of 'goats for utility purposes should be more largely extended, and with •suetuzef age Jo tiomsod ojgt.tta,T, this aim he is taking a census of alI the goats in the country.

The memorial deals briefly with the question of articles. commandeered by the German military authorities, stating that the complete confiscation of all raw material would paralyze in- dustry, and that enough machinery should be left in the factories to en- able them to continue in partial oper- ation. The customs tariff promulgated on June 22 by the German commander is criticized as unsuitable, because it fails to protect Polish industry, and even in normal times would bring about its ruin. Therefore the estab- lishment of the old tariff is asked.

It is gratifying to know that our men in khaki, who, according to Mr. Asquith, are now costing between £250 and £300 a head, receive their pay with commendable promptitude, says the London Chronicle. .In the prolonged campaigns of former times our soldiers often received 110 pay for years, and considered themselves lucky if they then procured a small part of what was due to them. In one of his dispatches, May 27, 1708, Marl- borough complains of the great hard- ships 'sufl.ered by a certain regiment to whom £5,500 was due, and pointed out that it would "innch eontribute to the s,rvice if some part of it were paid to enable the colonel the better: to clothe his regiment and the officers to suppoet themselves in the army." biixiarcl'e Liniment Ou_ce Distemper, Don't think because e man wears a large hat that he .is the heart of the house. s I t THE LARGEST FIRE".PR0OF RESORT n ..11 HOULE THE WORLD ami The Spirit of America at play Magnitude and Cheerfulness.
