Mr. Willison is a son of Sir John Willison of Toronto and at this writing nobody knows who Todd and French are, although doubtless questions will be asked about them in the House. The world does not know them as- food experts or anything else. Thequestion naturally arises, on what ground were they appointed. Rumor has it that Mr. Hanna was influenced by something more than than merit in, mseIecting them. Food Controller Hanna is also cred- ited with selecting the well- known Flavelle commission.

The Fiavelle commission will not be dOing its duty if it fails to prick the delusion that Sir Joseph had pure philanthrophy in mind when he offer- ed to operate the Williaia Davis Packing plant for the Borden Gpv- ern on a "cost plus" basis! Plus! There's the rag! NiThat was that plus -five, ten, fifteen per cent. or a hundred and fifty per centewhich was what the William Davies consider- ed reasonable in the Boer War. Pins! Humph!

He was counsel for J. Wesley Allison in the famous Hughes investigation. Later on he represented the food interests. in an inquiry into the high cost of liv- ing, conducted by the city of Ottawa. Mr. Henderson is a corpation lawyer and naturally no 'enemey to capital. According to Premier Borden he qual- ifies for his present position as a "drainage referee." What drainage refereeing has to do with fohd pro- fits heaven only knouts, unless per- haps -the drainage meant is the mon- ey that has been drained off by Sir Joseph Flavelle and his fellow pirates Meanwhile Mr. Henderson. is acting without salary. Doubtless he finds his reward in his own conseience. Associated. with Mr. Henderon are Price, Waterhouse & Co. and Mr. Geoffrey Clarkson, also a leading ac- countant. No doubt these gentlemen are competent to deal with the com- plicated figures Sir Joseph will pre- sent to show why his margin on ex- port bacon was 5.05 while that of his nearest competitor was only 3.3; also why. according to his own statement he did business at two thirds of a cent. profit while the Swifts- who are not' philanthropists but nlain business men could do it at a quarter of a cent; also why Flavelle bacon that costs thirty-six cents a pound in Eng- land costs fifty cents a pound in its own home town of Toronto. Doubt- less Messrs. Brodie and Clarkson have the right kind of minds to tack- le Sir Joseph's figures but why are two auditors necessary when one aud- itor would do? Why not substitate for one of these affluent auditors with their intithate emmection with Big Business a laboring man, a represen- tative of the class of people who feel the price of bacon most? The fourth member of the commis- sion, added by special request, is a Mr. Conners of Chicago. Mr. Con- ners is "late of Armour's." Presum- ably he has made hia bit and retired. He is a bacon expert of course, and can bring a great deal of technical knowledge to the uebject. It is true that the Armour interests in Canada are closely touched by the O'Connor report but Mr. Conners will not al- low that to influence him. He will have only a mellow, detached interest in his old busines associates. Rumor has it here that the Armour interests in the United States and the Stand- ard Oil interests are not hostile and - Food Controller Hanna represents Standard Oil in Canada. The mut- ual eeteem of the two great corpora- tions is shown when Food Controller Hanna selects Mr. Corners as Iris main coadjutor in the pending invest - gets nothing for its services. When thorized to go outside the O'Contior report but if they were it would be interesting to learn what effect -the novelle profiteering has had ezi re- crifitiing in this country. My own opinion that it did more to kill it even than the official chill given to it by the Borden Government. Where is tlie man who Willingly gides up a job with $3.00 a day to march. off to the dangers of war at a dollar ten a day leaving behind a wife and kiddies to be looted by the food pirates of all be can save out of his wages of death and peril? SHORTEST RAILWAY IN CANADA If you get out a map of Canada and trace the course of the Athabaska River from Edmonton down to where it is ibined by the Clearwater River near Fort McKay you will find the site of the shortest railway in Can- ada, and in fact in the whole world. The entire length of the track is a little over four hundred yards, and yet this road makes money without burrowing from the Government. The history of the line is brief, but interesting. Fifty years ago a number of daring traders found that they could make the- rounds of the Hudson Bay Company's posts in the great North-West in eruch better time by shooting the rapids of the Athabaska River in their huge scows than hy making the long track from Prince Albert. But when they came to the Grand Rapids of the Atha-. baska they had to nnload their seows at the top of a narrow island, carry their packs on their backs across it, and then shoot the rapids in their em- pty scows to the lower . extremity of the island, where they reloaded. Ev- entually the Hudson Bay Company laid a strip of wooden rails across the island and covered them with scrap iron . Two old fiat cars were requisi- tioned as carriers and the railway was established. The line boasts but one employee who fills every position from general manager to "braki ." He charges a high tariff for his q r - ter -mile run, but the traders would rather pay him his toll than carry their goods on their backs or risk shooting the rapids in a loaded scow. GERMANY'S CARE The general declared an interest in "'caring for the people." He was trying to re-establish the industries of the region he said. I had noted the stacks of -two factories smoldng as we entered the town. Such sights in Belgium and North France have been unusual for two years aerl at- -t.act attention. I said we were glad to learn from his interest and aske what the factories were. He tamed to the gentleman on the other side.

All distinguished themisel- ves not only for "indifference to dan- ger, but for quick thinking. In ev- ery case the winner had rallied. and Jed troops under fire, had snatched victory from defeat. , For instance, Private Robert Rider of the Middle- sex„ assumed command of his regi- ment when all the officers had been killed er wounded, led a remnant of Tnen forward and with the aid of a Lewis machine gun cleared the trench in front of him and carried the ene- my's positions In. commenting upon the latest awards and reviewing some of the earlier ones, the New York Sun observes that among -the winners was an elderly- man -who left a wife and nine children at home in order to serve his country, and "that glor- ious boy," John Travers Cornwall who, mortally wounded., remained at his post in the Jutland battle be- cause, as he- eplained shortly before be died, "he thought be might be needed." We may be sure that when the roll of heroism for the war is completed no name will shine more radiantly than that of this lad. Nor shall the first to win the cross in this war ever be forgotten. This was the famous Captain Francis 0. Grenfell, who was wounded in both legs and a hand at Andegnies, Bel- gium, on August 24th, 1914, while saving the guns of the 119th Battery, He was invalided home but returned to the ,front and was killed in action. In his will. Captain Grenfell left his decoration to the Ninth Lancers, "to whom", he wrote, "the honor of my gaining the . V.

This force has I Coldstream Guards, for instanre, lost been trained to fight to the last ounce of luirnan endurance, and there was little of it left when the Battle of the Marne was decided. The Sun thinks that the question as to the bravest deed that won the Victozia Crass well never be decided. There are over a. hundred deeds which no devotion or courage or sacri- fice could ever surpass. For valor in attacking a foe Michael O'Leary stands out with L.-Corpl. Albert Jacka, of the Australians, as unsur- Passable in all military history. At Courtney's post on Gallipoli, Jacka, single-handed, shot or bayoneted sev- en Turks -who tried to rush the trench he was defending and he was the only man left alive or unwounded in it. Yet his bravery cannot rank above that of Private Potts of the Berk- shire Infantry at Salve Bay. Shot in the left thigh, he dragged a worse wounded conu-ade for tree nights on an entrenching shovel, moving only a few feet with every effort until he reached a British outpost. Lieut. A. V. Smith, of an East Lancashire Regiment, threw himself upon a /bomb that had dropped out of his hand and though he was blown to pie- ces he saved the lives of his com- rades. Major Yates of the Second York- shire Light Infantry; was mortally wounded and taken prisoner at Le Cateau while leading ninetme survi- vors of his battalion of 220 men in a charge and Major George Wheeler of the Seventh Lancers at Shaiba, Mesot potamia, a born leader of forlorn hopes, thus met his death: "He was seen far ahead of his men, enreie single-handed, sk-aight for the ene. my's standard." The writer in the Sun has been impressed by the photo- graphs of some of these V.C. men, which have apneared in the London weekly papers. He says, "There is a quiet steadfasn look about most of the faces; seldom if evert a Pose of conscious galliantry. The V.C. man rereany seams to be the soul of good ence. ADVERTISING TO ATTRACT DARTERS FROM THE ENEMY "We will want more bread in the fid Mae tomorrow," said a captain in niy hearing "We expo many de- serters " e-serters." 4 Feel aroy receienes dewtere but I had never heard beforea an army making preparations to receive them. l The story that was told illustrates the extremely personal nature of the fighting in Macedonia. The Serbians had directed a number of Bulgarian prisoners to wash their feces and brash their clothes and slick their hair. Then their captors dis- tributed stew and •tri`buted mph soup and b broiled strips 'over the coals of a wood fire. "Now sit down" was the order, "and look pleasant." The stuffed and shinieg men drop- ped on the grass and lolled about in gardenAsarty attitudes. The picture which an army photovapher took of them is the most ridiculous thing in the Balkans. The grinning Bulgur- inns entered into the mit of the af- fair and put their auris about each other's necks' and draped themselves in elaborate postures and featured the large hunks of bread and the strips of beautifully greasy meat and the steaming cans of coffee. Except for certain details of clothing and the guards in the background it night have been a basket picnic. The Serbs tied copies of this picture to stones and threw them into the Bul- garian trenches. "See how well we treat your broth- ers?" roth-ers?" ran the legend. "Come on over." They same for a time. Then the bait ceased toattract more deserters. though.. the Serbs dangled it never so wisely before $ulgarin eyes. After a time the Serbian officer who bad been responsible for the. plan to get deserters by advertising made in- quiries • along the best follow. up Methods in use commercially. B wrote -Utters to his prospective cus- tomers and .threw them into the Bul- garian trenches. He wanted to know what was the trouble. Were not the samples of his goods convin- cing?
