Colonel Cody, "Lieuten- ant Colonel the Hon. William F. Cody," as the London papers used to call him in the Jubilee year when he was show- ing the Queen about his Indian camp and the Prince of Wales rode in the Deadwood stage, was the picturesque and genuine incarnation of a West that is gone, of the days when a mil- lion buffaloes "roamed the plains," as in the novels of Mr. Beadle's and Mr. Munro's series, .dear to the youth of oldsters. • Some of those oldsters remember when buffaloes could be shot from the windows of Union Pa- cific trains. The strain of adventure and a romantic temperament was in his blood, Irish, Spanish, English. Buffalo Bill trapped and hunted and fought Indians when only a boy. He was in wild Kansas, now so tame, ten years before it began to be ycivil Ized. - - All the excitements of the frontier and the trail were his. He was a man, it may be said, at 10, when his father was killed in a row over slav- ery, the seed of dissension between men and parties and sections. He was freight wagon courier, pony ex- press rider, he drove stage. The sum of his accomplishments and ac- tivities was all that the boys of fifty years ago deemed admirable and heroic. He was a hero such as "Ned Buntline" or Emerson Bennett or Mayne Reid could but strive to de - THE HURON EXPOSITOR "BUFFALO BILL." pict. He was a brave and wary scout, a chief of scouts, the slayer of Chief Yellow Hand. He was a brave soldier. Other mem were these. It was Cody's good fortune and :that of the country, and a good bit of the rest of the world, that he bodied forth the heroic age of, the West. One seems vaguely to remember about forty -odd years ago his not too successful appearance in "The Scouts of the Plains," or some such border play, rudely enough g i;o mposed; prob- ably, but that same "Ned Buntline," a _god to a generation of boys brought up on novelettes and weekly story papers, and now a name writ in water. It was not as an imperson- ator, but as himself, that Buffalo Bill delighted millions and became better known than the equator. Will there ever be anything to equal the Wild West Show, or is it to confess one's self the child of a sim- pler time so to ask? Again the out- stentoring and world-shaking voice of Nate Salsbury "announces," her- alds the -pageant Ponies, mustangs, horses, Indians of fine feather and ferocious port: scouts, Mexicans, cowboys, cowgirls, buffaloes—before these became museum pieces, so to speak, curled darlings of preserves and parks and Buffalo Jones—not too wild cattle, "buckers" that kick- ed the sun, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Pawnees, Sioux, all sorts of Tawnies; the Deadwood coach, better than all the gilded coaches of Napoleon, rat- tling and capering along, persued and rescued, to the sound of shots innumerable and the darkening of heaven and earth with dust. It was a grand show, let the slaves of the movie habit say what they will. It 014—tired an extinct civiliza- tion and barbarism. It was honest, manly, courageous, of the open, like its master. We can see him still, a little stiff in the legs latterly, buts, a gallant figure. He has ridden around until the spectators are dizzy. He lifts that patriarchal and venerable hat—it looks gray, or is that the mist of memory? -and bows from the saddle. He played a good game of poker. He was straight as a trivet. He knew the men and manners of many cities and countries. Emperors, kings, princes and princesses, sculptors, painters, statesmen, halfbreeds, pa- pooses, he was at home with all, There was something essentially poe- tical and artistic about the man. The frontier boy was naturally a cavalier and a courtier in the good sense, the man at ease everywhere, sure of him- self. In certain portraits of him one gets a glimpse of a sixteenth -century look. it is Frobisher, Drake, Ra- leigh, born in Iowa and bred among horse thieves, border ruffians, and i exiles from civilization. t He got a lot out of his Long life.

"Du Role Sociale de l'Offlcer." It was an article which at once attracted and held attention, alike by its mod- esty, and its remarkable excellence as a Piece of literature.The writer subnlitted that the vocation of the soldiers 'watt in a state .of transition. If be would only look up, he would see a new prospect opening out be- fore him. The writer of this article was therecently pp h appointed French War Minister, General Hubert Lyau- tey, at that time a colonel fresh from his great* exploits in Madagascar. Acting under General Gallieni, he had completed theconquest of the island, established French rule in the south, and seen inaugurated there that policy of education and concilia- tion which he was to put into effect, with such astonishing results, some thirteen years later, in Morocco. General Lyautey has always been a rnan of action, in the fullest sense of that word; a man who has never lain back on his laurels; who has not bad time for the recollection of an achievement, because it has no soon- er been completed than he has start- ed out, on some other quest. From the. time when he left the Saint Cyr GENERAL LYAI;TEY. Military Academy, in 1876, he has been. Carrying on the active work of a soldier and administrator in various parts of the world. Fighting rebel- lious natives in Algeria, Indo-China, the Song Can Valley, and at the cap- ture of Ne-Tuong; exterminating pir- acy in Upper Tonkin;. putting down rebellions, and pacifying the country in Madagascar; coessolidating the French hold on Algeria, and finally securing and pacifying Morocco for France, at a time when the greater part of the world is at war, these are only some of his many activities. In the early days of his connection with Morocco, General Lyautey did a remarkable work on the Algerian frontier, in that great tract of almost unknown country stretching from the Mediterranean in the Sahara. For several years he patrolled this re- gion, organized companies of light cavalry, and, with all his accustomed genius, gradually secured order out of chaos. Posts were established all along the frontier, round which vil- lages sprang up. New towns were formed and several magnificent It Was, however, in Mor OW the establishment of a French protectorate over the country, in the later part of 1911, that General Lyautey's most distinguished work was done. When, in the March of 1912, on the conclusion of the Franco -Moroccan. ti Baty, General Ly- autey, who had been in command of the French forces in Morocco up to that time, was created French Resi-s dent -General, he virtually took over the government of a country seething with all manner of strife, bitterly op- posed to French rule, and forever breaking out, now here and now there, in open rebellion. He recog- nized- his opportunity. A soldier ° of soldiers, he put valiantly into prac- tice the theory expounded some twelve years before in the Deux Mendes, namely, that soldiering in the sense of fighting was by no means the whole of a soldier's call- ing. Slowly, but very surely, the un- ruly tribesmen, the "blue -coat men," the: followers of the notorious El Haiba, the Berbers of the hills, and the Arabs of the plain and town, be- gan to see that the French Resident - Generally really wished them well. Roads began to be made; ports .be- gan to be constructed; food and all manner of goods and produce began to be more plentiful; the fear of the brigand disappeared . with the bri- gand himself; the Moor began to take an interest in what the French were doing; then he began to take a pride in it, and, finally, when General Lyautey launched his great enter- prise, the exhibition at Casablanca, Last year, he secured the eager sup- port of the very tribesmen who, a few years before, would have nothing to do with him or his works. Last Oc- tober, as a crowning achievement came the great fair at Fez, opened by the Resident -General, in the presence of some 25,000 people, amidst scenes of great enthusiasm. Proof Positive.

LITHUANIA, a region on the Russo -German Baltic, great- er in extent and population than Sweden, has had her aspirations stirred by the war, and is looking forward to emerging from it either asp an independent republic or as an autonomous nation, with its own parliament lia e t and home rule sub- ject to Russia's Imperial authority only in matters, of national defence. This was the view outlined to the Associated, Press by Martin Ychas, member of the Russian Duma, where he represents the importanto rtant Lithua- nian City of Kovno, and occupies the post of seetZtary of the Finance Committee. "It should be; understood," said Mr. Ychas, "that- Lithuania is en- tirely distinct from Poland,-althoug). the public is in the habit of treating them as one. Poland Is the great central region around 'Warsaw, whereas Lithuania and the Lett country is the vast northern section along the Baltic, with the great ports of 1 Riga, Libau, and Windau and the Cities - of Vilna, Grodno, Kovno, and Suwalki, aggregating 8,000,000 population, or more than any of the secondary kingdoms of Europe. "Like Poland, LItlnia has her own hopes and aspirations," contin- ued Mr. Ychas, "and with my col- leagues in the Duma we have already secured the acceptance in principle of complete political autonomy for Lithuania. This means home rule, the same as Canada, with. a Lithuan- ian Cabinet and Lithuanian Parlia- ment and with Lithuanian delegates in the Imperial Duma and a. Lithuan- ian Viceroy from the Czar. 'here are unofficial hopes going far beyond this, particularly among the Lith- uanians in the United States. But officially we look to autonomy as the first step to restoring Lithuania as nationality. In the Duni. the con- trolling authority, the Constitutional Democrats, or Cadet party, has ac- cepted in principle autonomy for Lithuania, and it was by Cadet votes that I, as a Lithuanian, was elected secretary of the Finance Committee. "In America, however, I found a strong movement for securing com- plete Lithuanian independence and setting up a Lithuania -Lett Repub- lic. Our native press in America is very strong for independence. They look to the Entente AIlies to secure this as one of the results of the war, holding that England entered the war in defense of small nationali- . Tie, however, aro unofficial hopes for the /future, and all that I can officially assume is that complete autonomy and- home rule for Lith- ua is an accepted principle of the riling authorities in the Duma. The Irian Government has not yet spoken, pending invasion of Lab - =mist by Germany; but when normal conditions are restored, the Govern- inent will undoubtedy approve the autonomy already agreed to in prim- e -Iola by the Duma."

Perhaps it was inevitable that the enormous death -roll of Europe should start a revival of spiritualism among those who have Iost loved ones, and the space given the book in the British press betrays the hope that fills many bereaved hearts. It is "the most re- markable book the war has produced or is likely to produce," declares The London Christian Commonwealth, an organ of liberal and progressive re- ligious thought, while The London Times devotes a rather non -commit - tal on -committal column to it. Says the Common- weal th ommon-wealth "If the book is not a simple chron- icle of the evidences which have con- vinced Sir Oliver Lodge that his youngest son, who was killed in the SIR OLIVER LODifill war on September 14, 1916, Is com- municating with him and members of his family 'from the other side,' and is being helped in this work by a group of .sir Oliver's friends on 'the other side,' it is a pathetic illustra- tion of the manner in which the ablest and strongest intellects can be misled by their hopes. In any case, the book is a quite wonderful liter- ary achievement, n met moreimpressive im r v e P than any formal biography, more in- tensely moving than any tribute of sorrowing affection in verse or prose. One's first impressions of the book. can only be expressed in this anti- thesis; it is either a simple straight- forward record of events that have actually occurred, or it is the story of a great scientist's credulity and self-deception." The Evening Standard (London) goes through the book and gives some citations to show how he speaks from the "other side." "For the most part, allowing for the impediments (as one may exalts - ably call them) of the methods of .communication, he speaks like him- self. We do not suggest that this is evidence of the truths Sir Oliver Lodge is trying to establish; but it Is well worth noting. "-He shows solicitude for his mo- ther. 'Mother, don't 'go doing so much,' he - pleads. 'I am very strong,' says' Lady Lodge. 'You think you air,' he retorts, 'but you tire yourself tout too much. It trou- bles me.' y "Reminded by his father on an- other oecasion that it is getting near Christmas, he says: 'I know. . I shall be there. Keep jolly, or it hurts me horribly. Truly, I know It is diffi- cult, but you must know by now that 1 am so splendid. I. shall never be one instant out of the house on Christmas day.' "He is anxious because his bro- ther Alec 'can't hear' hire. 'I do wish he would believe that we are here safe; it isn't a dismal hole as people think; it is a place where there is life.' "As the communications proceed he grows happier. In one passage, placed by Sir Oliver Lodge under the heading ®f 'Unverified Matter,' be speaks of going to a `gorgeous place,' which he describes as the Highest Sphere. The full account Sir Oliver omits; 'until the case for survival is considered established,- it is thought improper and unwise to relate an ex- perience of the kind which may be imagined. But something is given. 'I felt exalted,' says the suppositious speaker, 'purified, Iifted up. I was kneeling. I couldn't stand up, I wanted to kneel. Mother, I thrilled from head to foot. He didn't come near me, and I didn't feel I wanted to go near him. Didn't feel I ought. The Voice was like a bell." Sir Oliver gives this general de- duction from thought and experi- ment on the great mysteries: "Nor let ud imagine that existence hereafter, removed from these atoms of matter which now both confuse and manifest it, will be something so wholly remote and different as to be unimaginable; but let us learn by the testimony of experience --either our own or that of others ----that those who have been, still are; that they eare for us and help us; that they, too, are progressing and learn- ing and working end hoping; that there are grades of existence, stretching upward and upward to all eternity; and that God himself, through h Ills g agents and messenger's, is continually striving and working and planning, so as to bring this creation of his through its prepara- tory labor and pain, and lead it on to an existence higher and better than anything we have ever known." re - Children Children Cr FOR FLETCHER'S CASMORIA FEB UrA Y 2, 19 Lifebuoy for the " Counter-attack " All day long he's been standing the attacks of dirt, dust, grime, gems and microbes.

At all grocers a LEVER BROTHERS LIMITED TORONTO 467 i Why Flags Are Cremated. i Regimental flags are sometimes cremated. The ceremony is per- formed with great pomp and circum- stance, and the ashes are afterwards preserved with the most scrupulous care in a box. They are sometimes buried, too— and buried with full military honors. This fate has befallen sets belonging to ---among others—the King's Own Scottish Borderers and. the 2nd Bat- talion Worcestershire Regiment. Why these cremations and. bur- ials? The reason is not far to seek. Britain is the only country in the world which permits its historical flags to find their way to the "pop - shop,". or the auction -room; and flags are consequently oceasionally destroyed or interred in order that they may avoid this ignominious end. Some time ago the 1st Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment recovered from a pawnbroker in far -distant York no fewer than four flags, which it had borne with great honor and distinction for fifteen years, through tthe Egyptian andPeninsularcam - 1 1 paigns. And if you should chance to visit the parish church at Kendal, you . will there find a pair of the old colors of the 2nd Battalion Border Regiment. They were rescued by I Lord Archibaldam e 1 from an C b pl • upholsterer in London, who had put ' them up for sale with no more re- , speet than he would have had for a • pair of old window -curtains. But even this fate is preferrabie to that which befell a Rag which for three years waved above the 39th Moot during the famous neige of Gib- raltar, and which was not long ago found covering the sofa -cushions of t a trace's back parlor.
