SIR Mai SIORrNGaitiOl' WAS A, ..,...'SAT ABMEASSA ►" OR 1 t HSI the history,' et the present War is written in full, the name of Sir Cecil Spring -Rice wil appear on .the small list of men who played their: roles in the struggle without making a Mistake. Canadians Will afways re- member -that the 'career of this great Britisher came to an end at Ottawa, where he passed away* after his work was done. A scholarly..man, quiet and unostentatious; a man .of broad vision, yet with an inflate capacity for details, Sir Cecil Arthur Spring - Rice rendered our Empire most rvalu- able service as Ambassador at Wash- ington- It would be difficult to over- eastims.te the importance of the part he' played in bringing together into what is practically an alliance the two great English-speaking peoples —one of the most momentous de- velopments An world history._ What Sir Cecilaccpntiiilished was made pos- sible by hist understanding of the American people and his ability to make his Government understand them. • He did not make the mistaken of his rival ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, whose 'activties did so much to discredit his country. Sir Cecil Spring -Rice played safe. He was on home . leave when Ger- many let loose the great war storm he had so long foreseen, and here - turned shortly afterwards to Wah- SIR CECIL SPRING -RICE. Ington, convinced that the struggle would be long and arduous and that the issue would largely depend on the attitude of the United States. He be- lieved in the essential good -will of the President towards the allied cause and the genuine sympathy of all the best elements of the Ameri= tan nation, but he realized that the United States would only come in if Germany brought home to the Ameri- cans by her own deeds the real mean- ing of the struggle into which she had forced us, and meanwhile he knew she would spare no effort to 'embroil us with the Americans. Delicate questions were bound to arise constantly in regard to - the treatment of neutrals, especially neu- tral shipping, which, unless handled with skill and forbearance, might easily lead to serious controversies. It behooved the British Ambassador to walk warily through the maze of pitfalls. That Spring -Rice never once stumbled in those .anxious two and a half years of American neutrality, when a single false step might' have had disastrous consequences, shows how trained and experienced he was - in diplomacy. 'He had his reward when, invited on the floor of the House, he listened to President Wil- son's great pronouncement which Culminated in the American declara- tion of war against Germany—a pro- nouncement we were told which Sir Cecil himself once described as being as dispassionately and mercilessly de- livered as that of the judge who puts on his black cap to pass sentence on a condemned criminal. Prom that - moment Spring-Ri e felt he had achieved his task, and several months ago he spontaneously placed himself in A. J. Balfour's hands should the Government con-' Bider the work of the Embassy, which had passed out of the mere diplo- matic stage, could more effectively be carried by a representative of larger experience with complicated ques- tions of finbtice, shipping and sup- plies. It was; however, only at the beginning of this year that he was invited, not indeed to retire from the Embassy, but to come home and take some long period of leave which he had abundantly earned. Care of Pregnant Mares. The pregnant snare should be well ted,. and given regular exercise or light wo*k. All food and water givien shoule be of first-class quality, She should tj-e given more grant than the nou-pregnant quart, as she ,has her foetus to support. All possible care should be observed to ave.71,f digestive derangements; :terse everything con- sumed ;should be of good quality, eas- ily digested, fed in proportion to the anieunt of wort: performed ani at regular intervals. In addition to hay and oats, she should be given a, few raw roots daily, and a feed of bran with a cupful -of linseed meal, at least twice. weekly. Work that requires excessive tiius- rular or respirator:- effort should be avoided, so also should plun4in;; through deep snow, slippi'l:;, east.. All nervous excitement should be avo.d•. e'l, so also should sights which frighten her, also. offensive odors and operations. i The use of drugs should not br tole=rated,. except upon the advice of a veterinarian.

The majority of the horticultural societies in this province have accom- elished great things with their vacant lot propaganda. in the cities of To- ronto and Ottawa alone many acres nave been cultivated. Ottawa reports over 100 acres from which 50,000 bushels of valuable garden products have been garnered in first-class con- dition. Those interested in horticul- ture in Toronto through the Vacant Lot Gardening Association have also done a splendid work and in a large way. The report issued by the super- •intendent, Mr. Geo. Baldwin, states: Number of lots under cultivation dur- ing 1917, -7 98-, all well cultivated. Number of soldiers and soldiers' fami-- lies working - lots, 80: Average size of -lots 3,000 square feet, all marked with sign board, Package of seeds' provided 725, of which 607 were paid d for S evera l` churches, hospi ais. homes, girtj, guides,` boy scouts included in lot Holders. One lot looked after• by a returned soldier who lost both his legs, another by a man with only one hand. The condition of both these lots would shame those who are not thus seriously handicapped. All gar- dens are inspected once a Week and reminders sent to those who neglect their slots. The crops produced have a. value of $40,000 at -a mod.erate esti- mate.—J. Lock_ ie Wilson, Ontario Department of Agricuture, Toronto. Preparing for Gardening. - This month begins the active gar- dening work, Hotbeds should be made and, the seed of the early plants like cabbage, Cauliflower, early celery, early beets, and the long season plants like tomatoes, egg plants and peppers should be started. Many of these seeds for small gardeniing work may be started `inside which will re- lieve the necessity of making hotbeds until the - first part of next month. Manure for top dressing the ground may be hauled out the latter part of this month. Hints For the Poultryman. The flock should be given the op- portunity to get out of doors and ex- ercise on fine days. Begin to make preparation for hatching. Clean up the incubators and brooders, get boxes ready for setting hens. Do not set bens in the laying pens where r,thrr birds are running.

College Notes. A Farm Workshop. The progressive farmer recognises the need of a small building where he can 'overhaul, paint and repair his farm equipment in the most expedi- tious manner. Such a building must be compact and conveniently ar'rang- ed with a floor space that will accom= mods,te any of his larger machines. The floor should be of concrete to stand the wear and tear. In making the floor it will be necessary to place the anchor bolts, to which the sill is fastened, before the concrete has set. The avorik bench, forge and 'heater roust be ao placed that the centre cif the floor is left clear, but the bench and anvil must- be well lighted. The placing of the long window will de- pend upon which side of the shop re- ceiving the best light: Stairs read through a trap-door to the loft, where the lumber, etc., is stored..` This loft' is lighted with a window at each end • nd it also has a small door at the, front, on a level with the moor.

When - e is an argument among the about someuncertain point as to whether Houghton is entitled .to Watkins sixpence, the matter is taken to the recognized authority and his decision is final. The two most popular games are "Crown and Anchor" -,.and "House." ,The paraphernalia used in "Crown and Anchor" consists of a piece of canvas two feet by three feet. This is divided into six equal squares. In these squares are painted a club, dia- 1 mond, heart, spade, crown and an an- chor;, one device to a square. There are three dice used, each dice marked . the same as the canvas. The banker sets up his gambling outfit in. the cor- ner of a billet and starts bally-hooing . until a crowd of Tommies gather a- round; the the game starts. The Pommies place bets on the squares, the crown or anchor beings played the moat. The: banker then rolls his three diceandcollects or pays out as the case may be. If you play the crown and one shows up on the lice, you get even money, if two show up you receive two to one, and if three three to one. If the crown does not appear and you have bet on it, you lose, and, so . on. The percentage for the banker is large if every square is ` played, but if the crowd is partial to, • say two I squares, he has to trust to - luck. The banker generally wins. The 'game of - "House" is very popular also: It takes two men to run it. This gable consists of •,num- erous- squares of cardboard containing three rows of numbers, • five numbers to a row.i The numbers run from one to ninety. Each card ,has a different combination. The. French estaminets in the vill age are open from eleven in the monk. ing until' one in the afternoon in ac- cordance with army orders. , After dinner the Tommies congre- gate at hese places to drink French beer at penny a glass - and play "House.' - - As soo as the estaminet is sufe- : iently crowded the !proprietors of the "House .

He rape on the table and cries out, "Eyes crown, my • lucky lads," • All noise ceases and everyone- IS attention. - The dr,oupier placess his hand in the bags and draws- forth a numbered square 'and immediately calls out the number. The man who owns the card with that particular number ,on it, covers the square ww1th amatch. The one one who covers the fifteen numbers on his card first shouts. "House." The other backer izn mediately comes over to hint; and verifies;:the. card, by call: ing out the numbers thereon. to the man with the bag. As each Humber is called he picks it out of the ones picked from the bag and says "Right." Then • -if the count is right, he shoutse "H©use correct, pay the lucky gentleman and sell him a card for the next school." The "lucky gentleman" generally buys, one unless he has a Semitic trace in his veins. Then another collection is made, a school formed, and they carry on with the game. - The caller -out nas niany nicknames forrthe numberssricb as "Kelly's Eye" for one, "Leg's Eleven" for eleven, - `Clickety-click for sixty-six,_ or "Top of the house' meaning ninety.

A card game called' "Brag" is also popular. Using a casino deck, the • dealer deals -each player - three- cards. It is similar to our poker, except for the fast that you only use three Lards and cannot draw. The deck is. never shefiled until a man shows three of a kind or a "prile" as it is called.

It is not the intention of the Government to allow these men to evade nmanently their obligation to bear their part in the military defence of- the Country and of the ideals for which we are -fighting. To do so would defeat the purpose of the Act, and cause grave injustice to men in the second class necessarily called out to fill their places. Exemptions ' Granted on False Grounds - It is, therefore, proposed to.scrutinize carefully' all exemptions granted to date in order to separate those which have been granted on 'false or insufficient grounds from those that are well'founded. With this object in view the various Registrars under the Wlitary Sezvice Act have been instructed to issue a series of questionnaires tc+ exempted hien. These questionnaires must be .filled up correctly and- returned promptly under penalty of forfeiture of exemption for failure to do so. Exempted Men Who Have Changed Address It is therefore important in their own interest that all exempted men who have changed their address since their exemption was granted and who have not already notified the Registrar Of such change should notify hire at once. Under the Regulations it is the 'duty of exempted men to keep the Registrar advised of any change of address, and failure to receive the questionnaire tby reason of neglect of this duty must be treated as equivalent to failure to, return the questionnaire after receipt. ,-- Citizens Urged to Assist In many instances information has been furnished by members of the public which has led to the cancellation of exemptions obtained by false or riait- lea ing statements. Further co-operation of this character is invited, The Government regard it as the Duty of all loyal citizens, not only to the Country, but to the men at the front, to assist in this. way in securing reinforcements on a just and . legai`+basis. Correspondence of this character will be treated as strictly confidential and will receive the fullest investigation. - CHARLES J.
