That' authoritative body does not heisitate to say it comes as near at- tempting the impossible as anything any reition hu yet committed itself to, It bases the conclusion on the feet that Germany is undertekhas to guard a "deadline of 1,600 miles, measured from headland to headland, 20 miles off shore"; to seal up 110 ports., all of which are admirably developed for businene and 80 of which aro navigable at low tide by vessels thatacan go in fourteen feet of water; to combat at onee dithe sinuosities of a shore line lendinei itself better to defense against blockade than any other of equal length in the world and the greatest navy civilization has ever een." "Wane if the Germans have 500 sub- marines constructed for the purpose of this blockade, as is claimed," it goes on to say "the total makes an average of only about four submarines avail- able for blockading each port." Fur- thernrore, "submarines, with even the largest radius which any of these peseees, are dependent an a convenient base or upon the service rendered by a 'mother nhip."They generally can carry a most limited number of tor- pedoes, without which they are ind- feetive, and in addition they are sev- erely handicapped by the very nature of their operations!' • • The rieliietance the submarine vain- paiga will meet in the ability of the liritieh to replace a large part af the. lost shipping, is also set forth. At' the end of 1915 there were 455 steam vessels under construction in British hipyarde, more than half of them -being of more than 5,000 tons burden. The aggregate capacity of these is more thin 1,788,000 tons, "so that both in tonnage and in number the new Fish Recipes. , does this apply just now to old pota- toes.

The erns and the legs supplied bactory cent Home on Spadina Avenue, but the men go from there to the one on College Street to get their artificial limbs. As regards the artificial arm question, 't should perhaps be said that the type of arm reeemmended is dependent a good deal on what the vo- cation of the man by whom it is need- ed is to be. If he is to be a clerk or an office man, a Carne's arm is de- cided on. If he is to be a mechanic or a manual worker, not a Carne's arm but one which will be of more practi- cal use to him is decided an. The men appreciate to the full the great value of the vocational train- ing which has been brought within, their reach. The majority of them — probably • about 60 per cent.—were manual workers in the days before the war. In connection with the classes in vocational training, there is a great run on bookkeeping and clerking, while the courses in me- chanical engineering' are also very popular. It should be mentioned that the Y. M C. A. admits the men at the Con- • valescent Horne to its privileges., and these are very highly valued by them.

An instance of this recently _occurred in a London East -End Sunday School, where the teacher was telking to her elass about Solomon and his wisdom. "When the. Queen of Sheba came and laid gold and jewels and costly spices before Solomon, what did he say?" she asked, presently. One small giri, who had evidently had experience in .such matters, promptly replied. " 'Ow much (1.3rer want for the lot?"
