Dr. Meinecke goes on to sketch subsequent developments, and says substantially: We took to treneh- warfare, the enemy .did likewise; we tried, and failed, ..to -break through both on the Yser and on the Baur*. aid Rawaka; the French. tried, and tailed to break through': in Cham- pagne People at home began to .argue that the war had finally dem /►eloped into one of attrtt£QIL Then in May, 1915, German troops sue-' -seeded in. breaking through` In Gali- cia, but ultimately had to settle downs -`guts in defensive positions.

Hideous in the extreme, and only equal in awfulness to the • frightful horrors oY the Inquisition. of the dark ages, is, the story told in a semi-official French -communique of the tortures inflicted upon French,- . Mau, and English prisoners in erran. prison camps. Exaln1 ies are given, as follows: Io reprisal camps. of occupied diss- trictit - of Russia this treatment has been applied with terrible refine- ments` of cruelty.

Preacher Monkeys. The author- of the "History of Brazil" tells of a species of monkey called "preachers." Every morning and evening these monkeys assemble in the woods. One takes ' a higher position. than the rest and makes a • signal with his forepaw. At this signal the others sit round him and • listen. When. they are all seated he begins -to utter a series of sounds. When he stops these cries he makes another signal with his paw, and the others cry out until he makes a third signal, on which they . become anent again. • This author, Mr. Margrove, asserts that he was a witness to these pr�hings. B1 -Guided Zeal. - William Wilberforce, the aloe - liberator, had a sister •who --was a • hustler, She hustled for William at the hustings and succeeded in get- ting id ting him elected to Parliament. - On one occasion, when she had conclud- ed her stump speech, some enthus- iasts in the crowd shouted: - "Miss Wilberforce forever!" The lady stepped forward. "Gentlemen, I thank you," she said, "but, -believe me, I do not wish to be Miss Wilberforce forever. Weird Stories - With Small Begin- nings Rounded Out by Gossips. Most people in London. are hear- ing, irc `one form - or - another, the legend -of Lord Kitchener ing alive and a trimmer in GerranY' `says the Manchester Guardian.. . It 'is now as popular, and of course as baseless, as the legend of the `Russian soldiers in England was in 19;14, and takes quite ass' many forme. I have taken the trouble to _follow out the course of these fables, 'but each time its origin eludes diec:overy.

Plough Tip Grass Lends, The Scottish Departinent Com- mittee on Food Supplies report that there are about 1,600,000 acres of permanent pasture in Scotl&nd, and 1,500,000 acres in. temporary pasture. Much of the permanent pasture is only suited for grazing stock and certain areas also of graz- ing land are unsuitable to break up, but, it is added, in the hands of both farmers and occupying owners there are many acres which, in present cir- cums3taneess, should be brought under the plough. The report considers that steps should be taken to find out what land now in gram is suitable for growing grain and other crops, and to secure that it - be cultivated. Also that steps should be taken to cultivate lands now let ass grass parks and home. policies, where the . ordinary organization of a farm does not exist, it- also recommends that when deemed advisable, the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, by them- selves or their nominees, :should enter, occupy, - and cultivate such lands.
