Caused Dizziness, Weakness
and Smothering Spells.
It •
When the heart becomes affected,
there ensues a feeling of a choking sen-
sation, a shortness of breath, palpitation,
throbbing, ' smothering sensation, and
dizziness and a weak, sinking; all -gone
feeling of oppression and anxiety.
On the first sign of the heart becoming
weakened Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills should be taken, and you will find
that they will give prompt relief and soon
effect a complete cure. -
Mr. John Doucette, Bei River Cross-
ing, N.B., writes: "I suffered greatly
from heart trouble which caused dizziness,
weakness and smothering spells. I used
a great deal of doctor's • medicine but
received no benefit. A friend advised
me to use Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills, and before 'I had finished the first
box I felt so much better that I got an-
other one, and was completely restored,
highly recommend these pills to every
one suffering from heart trouble.

SENIOR OFFICERS WHO
HAVE RETURNED.
Some of the senior officers of bat-
talions that went overseas have re-
turned to Canada and are out of the
war without ever having been in it.
The position of some of these men
is a very awkward one. They raised
their battaliops or partly raised them
by vigormis recruiting methods, in
which they made speeches and used
hard-hitting arguments. They spoke
in severe terms of the class of mete
who shirked the duty of volunteering,
and now that they are home without
having entered the war, while the men
they recruited are at the front, those
here at home who refused to enlist,
and who were rebuked and scorned a
year ago by these senior officers, are
seeking to justify themselves now
and avenge themselves by scoffing at
these returned officers.
An officer who helped to raise a bat-
talion or part of one, especially in a
rural community where every man
knows everybody else -who used. his
personal influence which was perhaps
considerable in getting recruits and is
now 'back home while the men he ,re-
cruited are in the trenches, is in a
very unpleasant position. But it
ought to be remembered that the man
is, probably, not to blame, but is him-
self the greatest victim of a bad sys-
tem. .
• People who have the desire to be
just should think twice before they
join with those who sneer at returned
officers, because most of this sneering
is done by those who decline to vol-
unteer and now seek revenge on offi-
cers whose censure they came under
when recruiting campaigns were in
progress.
The system by Which battalions
,Were raised with a full complement
iof Officers and a shortage of -men was
a bad one, and was continued long af-
ter everybody knew how utterly bad
it was. All over the country we had
• schools for the training and promotion
of lieutenants, making of them cap-
tains and majors, although there was
a surplus of officers of those ranks.
They were sent to England, where
they could not be usefully abeorbed.
They left here drawing the pay of
their rank, and made all their arrange-
ments on the basis of: the pay they
were receiving. • Then their emits
were broken. up, they became stAplus
officers, and superfluo es. There was
probably not a man among them but
from one source or another was en-
couraged to expect employment at his
rank either in England or in France.
But nothing came of it, and they had
to revert to the rank and pay of lieu-
tenants or return to Canada. Some
were not wanted as lieutenants be-
cause of their age; some were willing
to revert if they could be assured that
they Would be sent to France and not
I ept on in England swelling the force'
f the idle who were coming in for
nsure; some others could not meet
he financial obligations theynhad as-
umed on the reduced pay offered them
as lieutenants',
Many of these inen are not free to
make public statements as to their ex-
neriences. They have in some cases,
teceived pretty raw treatment,greatly
at variance with the consideration
shown others But after all, at the
final showdown, many of the officers
who, finding that they were not to be
used in the war came home and got
back into civilian clothes and resumed
business activities, will cut a much
better figure than others who are re-
maining abroad during the war as uni-
formed office -holders, filling nominal
nosts and giving no value for the pay
and allowances ,they draw. The sys-
tem was a bad rone all through, grew
worse as it was prolonged,- and efforts
to reform it have never been suffic-
iently persisted in. But the defense
of the surplus officers who came home
and got back into civilian work -which
so many have sensibly done -rather
•than flourish idly in England, will be
made in due time. Star -'Weekly.
A JUNKMAN'S PARADISE
Old rags., old battles, old iron ! "
That familier cry that has resounded
through the a,lieys and back streetsaf
every, city came back to the mind of a
correspondent; who stood amid the ru-
ins of the -Somme battlefields one day
recen ti y. Pozieree. 'Th e peed Bann um e
and ellehe surrounding country form
a veritable jonkman's paradise. What
re*,el-of delight it would be for Am-
erican ragpickers to he turned looee
on the scene of a modern battle !
It, might not be an unreasonable Aug-
g-estiou fo'r Am!rica to recruit a sal wage
brigade of trained junkmen to come to
Europe and clear up the mess that, has
been made. The.countries that have
been at war for nearly three years can-
not spare the labor to do this work,and
when peace comes theirmen and wom-
en will he .needed for morevital indus•
tries. Or if it is not practical to recruit
junkers' brigade the work might be
allotted, by competive bidding to com-
panies ot ganized for the purpoee. Con-
tracts could be let for each ruined city
at an enormous profit, to the districts
involved and to the contractors„
For instance, there is a vast fortune .
to be- ma.de in recovering the wine bot
ties that have been left hy the million
all over the French and Bern terri,
broken glass. Most of the unbroken
bottles are to -day worth from 25 to 80
cents ebb. It is simply astounding
to go through the wreckage of houses
of Bapaume that before the German
evacuation were used as hilletts for
Hun officers and men. Entire roorns
are piled high with champagne bottles
that 'would hying in France threefrancs
apiece. In one roomi which is now
the home Of ten Australian soldiers,
there are no less than 4,000 wine bottles
piled up along the walfslike cordwood,
and this repository is only a small one
compared with the dumps in other
places.
Practically nohtttention isibeing paid:
by the army salvage corps to debris of
this 'clad. Old iron, steel and lead are
simply left to he destroyed by rust or
covered with dirt thrown up by shells.
All the junkmen in the world working
night and day couldn't clean up the Ba-
p.auwe region in a year, and it is prob-
able that when the period of recon-
struction begins this blot on the face
of the earth will be covered up and no
attempt made to recover anything.
The Germans were prodigal in their
use of iron when they constructed
their defences along the old line that
fell before the rush. on July 1, 1916.
They intended to stay there for the re-
mainder of the war and then recover
the material they haa used in construe,
tion. When the 13ritish bombardment
began with ite previously unknown
force of desteuction the iron and steel
collapsed or was pounded to flinders.
Taking 'any direction from Bapainne,
one May walk for hours over fields
that are gold mines for salvage parties.
If the barbed wire could be bought
by one company its dir-ctors could re-
tire for life on the profits. Hundreds
of thousands of miles of wire remains
intact, some of it -still unrested.;
It is allowable under French laws for
the owners of property or the heirs of
the original owners to go back to their
homes, or the site of their ruined homes
and collect whatever remains and
claim the ground. In millions of cases
the owners of destroyed property eith-
er perished in the war or fell into Ger-
man hands and Iravelleen deported to
portions of the Central Empires from
which` they never may return. There
will be vast tracts of battlefields so
torn and disfigured theta will require
a detailed survey to establish the form-
er positions of some villages, so that
even if property owners survive the
War. they will hardly- find it worth
while to go back to try to locate their
land.
Standing on the s.urnrnit of the Butte
de Wart en court one may look for miles
over a territory every square fcot of
which is covered with iron, steel, old
boots, rags, caps, bottles and tools of
every description. Shell holes are till-
ed with debris of this nature and clear
to the very horizon the ground is pit-
ted with these holes. As the war pro-
gresses the waste of material undoubt-
edly will be greatly decreased through
organization, but over this area the
junkman and the salvage party will
reign supreme for years to come
THE KAISER'S HEADQUARTERS
The Kaiser has nb settled head-
quarters. Since the outbreak of the
war he has kept continually on the
move, rarely staying more than a
w,ek at any place, and often only a
day. But the place wherever the
Einpetor may chance to be is the offi-
cial German headquarters.
The Emperor has spent a consider-
able portion of his time in the Im-
perial train since the outbreak of
• ever -indeed, it Might be regarded as
• his most permanent headquarters. I
was talsen over it by a Dr. Von Nied-
ner, one of the (hectors of the Imper-
ial household, while the Emperor was
at Neestadt.
consists of five saloon coaches,
two kitchen coaches, a cable ear, six
sleeping coaches, and five luggage
wagons. Two saloons -one used as a
smoking car --are given up to the
personal use of the Kaiser. The other
three saloons are used respectively
as a car for the secretaries. a dining
car, writing and smoking car for the
equerries, arid a servants car.
The Kaiser has not ceased since
the outbrsak of the War to satisfy
his never-ending desire for holding
great military functions, and the giv•
Ong of elaborate and costly banquets.
Dr. Niedner, who told me of this, wae
severely critical of his Imperial mas-
ter's conduct in doing so.
" In these days," he said, v, hen the
most dire distress prevails in many
parts of Germany and sorrow is
everywhere, that the Emperor should
give those costly banquets is a most
regrettable thing, and one that would
fill many peoele with indignation if
they knew of it."
The Emperor is greatly affected by
the character of the news he receives.
If it is had he is often profoundly de-
pressed by ft. -if it is good be is wildly
overjoyed.
No news during the Past eighteen
months had a more depressing effect
on him than the announcement of
the destruction of the two -Zeppelins
in the Air attack on England last No-
vember.
The Kaiser was at Cologne when
the English official announcement of
the destruction of the two airships
reached him.
in the morning he had a message
from the German Admiralty in-
forming him that an attack had been
made on England by six airships, but
that only four had returned. The re-
ceipt of this news did not much dis-
turb the Emperor, for it was a com-
mon enough thing for some airships
of a raiding squadron to return to
their bases much later than others.
But when the Kaiser learnt the -con-
tents of English communiques he was
deeply affected On returning to his
headquarters he _ went to the room
used as his private writing -room,
where all the latest war news was
put nh typed 'slips on a long board
covered with green silk.
He glanced quickly at the slip
headed " English Official." Captain
Weissenrode and Dr. -Niedner were
standing just behind bins when he
read it. He turned to them and said,
"That is very bed news -very had
news." Then he dropped into a chair
and sat in silence,
He -was to have dined that night
with a General Vs inteefeit. who was
in charge of the military district at
Cologne,- ant he eent' a message to
him to 13 a y he ingretteci he could not
go, and dined in his private room. at
headquarters. Capt. Weissenrode and
Dr. Niedner dined with him, -a.nd the
Emperor scarcely touched his din-
ner. He talked the whole while of
the destruction of the Zeppelins.
" It .meams, lie said after a long
pause, and speaking -very slowly,
the destruetion of something more
than the two air -hips . our air-
ships can be brought down as easily

as the English appear to be able 'to
bring them down now, it lilet1138 that
our air squadrons have become uee-
lese as a weapon of attack."
The Erope.ior telegraphed to Count
Zeppelin to come to see him, but the
Count was ill and could not come;
perhaps be did not wish to see the
Emperor just then! The whole of
the next day the Emperor remained
in a deeply depressed condition ; he
ate 'frothing at all, but drank a lot of
coffee and occasional liqeurs, and
smoked incessantly. =AIM
In the evening Generals Ludenclorff
and Von Falkenhayn arrived to have
a conference with the Emperor,
'Their arrival." said Dr. kcedner
"made him forget for a moroent about
the lost Zeppehns and saved him, I
believe from a bad nervous break-
down."
The Emperor has a great horror of
being caught in anair raid. Thia is
a besetting fear with him, when at
any place that is in the least likely
to be bombed by allied airmen.
Once the Kaiser .•said to:Dr.,Nied-
ner iron
"1 cannot magine a more horrible
death than to be killed in a house
when bombed by airmen."
And yet the Eniperor has frequent-
ly expressed the wish to witness the
bombardment of London or other big
English city by Zeppelins.
The Kaiser at one time every
week, wherever he was, used to re-
ceive full reports from different cen-
tres in Germany relating to the state
or the food supplies for the civilian
population,
On one occasion the Kaiser, after
spending the greater part of the fore-
noon in going through the food re-'
ports, fiving the papers from him in a
rage, and turning round to one of his
secretaries exclaimed:
"Oh, curse the people ! If they
can't get food they must starve!
The secretary repeated the remark
to Home of the Emperor's equerries,
and the story got about. :It was
printed in a Socialist paper 'in Col-
ogne, with the result, that the editor
was imprisoned and the paper 'elosed
down.
The story was no doubt the direct
cause of the riot that occurred at
Cologne last May when the troops.
fired on the rioters killing half a doze
en.
There is no doubt from all I heard
that the Kaiser has keenly felt the
loss of Germany's colonies. To our
colonies!" is a toast that is drenk
every night at the Kaiser's head-
quarters. From all I heard it ap-
pears to have taken the place for the
moment, at all events, of the famous
these of " DerTag 1" which for good
reasons is not nowadays very ften
honored either at royal tables or else-
where.
