THE SUBMARINE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST U-BOAT IS
SIATISEACT ORY.
Statements of Germany Denied by
• 'Spokesman of the British
Admiralty.
•The German Vice -Admiral, von Cae
Pelle, ,said lately in a speech affirming
• that the unrestricted submarine war
had exceeded the most rosy expecta-
tions:
"Although a'number of submarines,
• because of their large radius of action
and their instructions, have not yet
returned to their bases, I can already
assure the committee that the results
have surpassed the expectations en-
tertained by the navy. It is very
satisfactory that there is no reason
to reckon with the loss of even one Ue.
boat since the beginning.. of the un-
restricted submarine war. The de-
fensive measures, about which such a
fuss has been made by the British
press and Parliament, have remained
within normal limits, according to the
reports of the U-boats which have re-
turned."
The German Contention.
. In fact, the Germans assert that the
submarine is a weapon against which
no defence is possible. With its aid
they expect to stop importations of
food and transfers -of men into France,
and force the French to conduct the
war on the Western front unaided. As
for England's anti-submarine cam-
paign, Berlin reports in the New York
Times:
"Neutrals who have lately visited
England say that over there all is
confusion, and that it is an open se-
cret that the Admiralty has no plan
to meet the new danger. They say
that notices have been posted in all
the Government shops promising a
rich reward for any invention likely
to help ward off the U-boat danger.
The English Government is said to
look to a mysterious invention by Edi-
son for salvation.
"Submarine crews returning from
the scene of operations are said to be
exceedingly enthusiastic, asserting
that new methods have at last given
them a fair chance in their perilous
"trade," •as the English call this most
dangerous of all forms of sea -fighting.
Formerly a U-boat, if she was lucky,
plight find one victim among six or
eight ships, the rest being inviolable
according to the restrictions ruling
"trade." I have heard of cases in
which a submarine could not find one
victim among thirty or more ships
passing it successively Now the
game is worth the troub :."
The British Reply.
And now for a flat denial. Alfred
Noyes, as spokesman for the British
Admiralty, tells the New York Tri-
bune that, far from being able to in-
tercept traffic in the Straits of Dover,
"I din confident that it is because
the Admiralty has driven the sub-
marines from the home waters that
Germany announced her intention to
create a wider zone. We have 4,000
private yachts, whalers, and fishifig-
vessels, and 60,000 men in the ,anti-
submarine fleet.
"Every boat is armed with guns
throwing 12 or 14 -pound explosive
shells, and has 1,000 yards of steel
netting trailing behind. We have de-
stroyed 200 submarines. All the home
waters are mapped out in blocks and
every block patrolled."
Four thousand ships and sixty thou-
sand men! Nor is this all, for these
figures include only the so-called pat-
rol or trawler fleet gathered to pro-
tect the English Channel and the wa-
ters around the British Isles. In ad-
dition to this, large fleets of mine-
layers place mines in the entrances of
German harbors, while the submarines
are away, and prevent them from re-
turning. There are numerous esquad-
villes of aeroplanes, manned by the
French; the constabulary constantly
search the shores of the British Isles
to ferret out the concealed submarine
bases, and lately, at least, the skipper
of every armed merchantman is, upon
occasion, a submarine hunter. "Tak-
ing one consideration with another,
the ll -boat's lot is not a happy one."
A Wooden Cross.
Somewhere, in No Man's Land, a
wooden cross,
Swept by the rain and beaten by
the sun!
Pathetic? yes, and yet how .small a
loss;
Among the many thousand crosses
--one!
Bow small a loss, you say; but nay!

MACHINERY OF MOTION.
How the British I41ake Roads For the
Forward Movement.
It is interesting to stand behind a
battery of British howitzers and
watch the guns in action, The men
show the high morale which is in evi-
dence throughout the British Army.
They whistle and sing and bandy
grim jests as they work. As the firing
button is pressed the crew jumps back
for a moment from the gun carriage,
but have leaped again to their allotted
posts before the easy acting recoil
has returned the mammoth weapon to
its original position. It its easy to dis-
tinguish the scream of a departing
projectile from one which is being
sent in return by the Germans, and
the onlooker can watch without diffi-
culty the black base of a British shell
as it travels in a long loop.
The forward movement of the Brit-
ish on so wide a front has brought into
play all the machinery of motion in
warfare. Roads seem to spring up
overnight in most unexpected places.
Railways have audaciously flung
themselves forward regardless of
mud and shell holes, and with a com-
pleteness which even includes most
pretentious sign posts bearing the
names of French villages which exist
now only as geographical, rel u ants,a lt,
is also a revelation of the intensely
practical side of modern war to see a
six-inch water main stretching itself
into territory but recently occupied by
the Germans.
Road -building has called into
play all the ingenuity of pioneer bat-
talions, composed not only of experi-
enced British workmen, but of real
pioneers from the prairies and moun-
tains of Canada and the far lands of
Australasia and South Africa. Roacl
material is scarce in the stricken wil-
derness of No Man's Land, but the re-
fuse of battle often serves the pur-
pose during the first hours of a new
forward move. Broken rifles, bits of
clothing, fragments of shells 'and oc-
casionally a few shells themselves that
fail to explode are used in the founda-
tion of the new paths. The remains
of a recently evacuated village bring
great joy to the pioneers, for that
means a temporary supply at least of
much desired broken brick and stone.
Most of us believe that clouds have
a silver lining, but few of us make any

To Clean Gloves.
A. saucer, of milk, a piece of Whit
soap and a piece of white cotton as
large as a handkerchief will clean kid
gloves, and leave them in a soft spot-
less condition. Put the soiled, gloves
on your hands, dampen a corner of the
clean cloth, put over first forefinger of
the right hand, rub once or twice on
the soap, and then gently stroke the
I glove from the fingers to a clean place
on the cotton frequently. Do not rub
the kid both ways but always from the
fingers up.

White ".Perrier Who Was a Patient In
a Preach Hospital.
'A British soldier stationed at one
of the hospitals in France tells of a
pleasing incident in which a clog play-
ed the main part.
g ,> &have had an unusual patient, he
writes."A- little write terrier came
trottingin with rather a nasty gash in
his side. He went straight into the
receiving room and virtually asked to
have his wound dressed. An officer
dressed it and sent him off. He re-
turned twice at different times during
the day„to have the dressing changed.
11,049ened up the 'next morning, and,
fcifie ,joke; ,.sergeant made out a pro-
pe.sick report and sent it along with
thta sick reports of the chaps who had
reported"±or treatment that morning.
In' due course the medical officer
came to this report and called out,
"Trooper Gyp, Eighth D.L.T."—the
heading that the sergeant had put on
the;'report. The initials in this in-
stance stood for "Doggy's Light In-
fantry."
Of course there was no answer. The
medical officer glanced at the sick
chaps waiting for attention, and again
called out, "Which of you is Trooper
GYP?"
Just then the sergeant entered and
explained matters. The medical of-
ficer took the joke in good part, dress-
ed the dog's wounds and entered him
in proper fashion: "Shell wound in
side; admitted into hospital."
Gyp has now taken up his quarters
in, the park store, and nothing can per-
suade him to move. He goes out for a
stroll every morning but always re-
turns. 'He has, however, been promot-
ed, and •is now Capt. Gyp, Eighth

A Tonic Medicine is a• Necessity
at This Season.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People 'are an all year round tonic,
blood -builder and nerve -restorer. But
they are especially valuable in the
spring when the system is loaded with
impurities as a result of the indoor
life of the winter months. There
is no other season when the blood is so
much in nee& of purifying and en-
riching, and every dose of these pills
helps to make new, rich, red blood.
In the spring one feels weak and tired
—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give
strength. In the spring the appetite
is often poor—Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills develop the appetite, tone the
stomach and aid weak digestion. It
is in the spring that poisons in the
blood find an outlet in disfiguring
pimples, eruptions and boils -Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills speedily clear the
skin because they go to the root of
the trouble in the blood. In the
spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges-
tion, neuralgia, erysipelas and many
other troublesare most persistent be-
cause of poor, weak blood, and it is.

needs attention. Some people dose
themselves with purgatives at this
season, but these only further weaken.
themselves. A purgative merely
gallops through the system, empty-
ing the bowels, but it does not cure
anything. On the other hand Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills actually make
new blood which reaches every nerve
and organ in the body, bringing new
strength, new health and vigor to
weak, easily tired men, women and
children. Try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills this spring—they will not disap-
point you.

Popular etymology, says the Man-
chester Guardian, is always more in-
teresting than the learned explana-
tions of philologists. For example,
take the barrack -room derivation of
the word "canteen." It is of no use
trying to convince Tommy Atkins that
it comes from the Italian cantina, a
small cellar. He has his own deriva-
tion, which he finds quite satisfactory.
"Canteen" is simply "tin can" said
backward. To justify his theory he
merely invites you to look round. Cer-
tainly, tin enters largely into the
utensils and furnishings of the aver-
age canteen. The drinking vessels
are tin and, in many cases, the tables
are also covered with block tin. No
wonder Tommy" holds that the word
has some connection with the metal
that is so much in evidence.

friends who evidently were familiar
with my reputation as an angler. Be-

following suggestion: 'We will agree
that the first one who catches a .fish
must treat the crowd.' I assented to.
this, and we started. Now, don't you

bite, and were too mean to pull them
up."

Beautiful Spring,
If one takes the word of the astron-
omers or almanac compilers for it, the
Spring began on March 20, at • 11.30
p,m. On that date, and at that hour,
persons having poems entitled
"Beautiful Spring" may, if they de-
sire, mail them to the newspapers
without violation of any literary
canon, But, as a matter of fact, there
is but one dependable and invariable
rule with relation to the change in
seasons that is now impending in
many lands. Pioneers, early settlers,
old-timers," life-long observers, peo-
ple of wide experience, and so on,
have now very geneiizlly come to the
conclusion that, throughout a wide
area of Canada, at least, Spring does
not arrive until the early Summer is
well advanced, and that, even then, its
coming may be delayed.
