Minds burg remains silent, wiobh onl occasional rumblings, but Hind,. burg is in a different pas tion from Ludendorff. Hinder bung was a military idol. Ludet dorff .never was. While the new leaked out .that Hindenburg wa merely the glorious figurehead an that 'Ludendorff was really th brains of the German army, ther still remained something gloriou about •Hindenburg, even if it wer only his tremendous looks. Ther was nothing glorious about Luden dorff. Prof. Delbrueck, in a recent boo entitled, "Ludendorff, fainted h Himself," goes carefully over lei actions in the Great War, and find that his most brilliant operation wa the retreat from South Poland i 1914, and the subsequent shifting o the Genman army northward to eh Russian right flank. The oom pleteness of the German victory a Tannenberg he attributes to a mov by Gen. Otte von Bulow, comparate bo the :Nelson tactios at Copenhagen Von Snlow acted on his ow initiative and against orders from Hindenburg's headquarters. Sur veying the rest of Ludendorff' career, the•herr professor is unabl to find much to admire. Ile says that the original plan for the invasion of Belgium an France were modified in th Operations Section of blies grea General Staff at a time whe Ludendorff was in charge of it Instead of :hushing the German righ north toward the North Sea and th English Channel, the German lef wing was extended down to th Swiss border, a stnovement that th professor regards as a serious blunder. �& He says that Foch .laughed eett Lu'dendorff's strategy calling it "buffalo strategy,' though it is to be admitted that Foch has been too polite to make the asser- tion. The generalissimo, says Del brueek, drew tate logical conclueio hat Germany's tactical 'successes `must lead eventually to ruin, since hey were only :hall successes," er particular operations, Luden- orff had the necessary talent, but of for .the "great strategical com- inations and conceptions which the nprecendented scope of the World ✓ demanded, especially not in ituations in' which he came in con - act with politics, for which Inc tad o competency whatever." Be accuses Ludendorff with hay - g frustrated all attempts made in 917 and 1918 to secure a negoti- ated peace, Witte the aid of the ope, diplomats were .weaving the red of a negotiated peace. udendorff ether did not ender- nd that a German victory had ecome .impossible or else his pride forbade any yielding. He over- ledruBebhmann-iHoiiweg •im regard.', the U-boat war, .and is said to ave told the Kaiser that either the ancellor would resign or he and i•ndenburg would quit.

A greater contrast to the audiences of New Pork, Boston, Chicago, Roch- ester, and Toronto than the one.I ad- dressed in Ottawa could hardly be imagined, and r recognized some of the apathy and "breeding" which had characterized my listeners in Montreal. In Toronto I limited my address to an hour and fifteen minutes, longer than which no one can be expected to endure, and as we ,had still time be- fore catching a midnight train, I in- vited my enthusiastic audience on to the stage. At this the platform was stormed and I was seized by hands •and arms, showered with compliments, and, never at any time a robust figure, so crowd- ed and crushed that I felt suffocated. My chairman did his best, but it was not until my secretary begged them not to mob me as I had to catch a train that I was allowed to move.

ENGLISH STATESMEN WHO LOWED THE TURF. It is significant to note .that in a recent iaeue of the London Spectator the leading 'book review is written by the editor, J. St. Loe Stratehey, and that the book reviewed is entitled "Chapters From Turf History" by "Newmarket." As all the world knaws the Spectator is +perhaps the most 'respected political and literary weekly in that world, but it mayrot be no well known that Mr. Strachey is quite as farted as an outstanding layman of the Church of England es he is known as the editor of the Spectator. :He is essentially a. relig- ious and serious-minded scan, and at a .time when horse racing and the wagering that accompanies it are be- ing so violently assailed in Canada on grounds of morality it is worth while noting that Mr. Strachey confesses to finding keen :pleasure in reading a book which is wholly concerned with horse racing and betting. He evi- dently is one of that great body of Old Countrymen wive delight in the spectacle of a .horse raise and who feel it to be no mortal sin: to make a bet which one can afford to lose, One of "Newmarket's" mast .inter- esting chapters is that devoted to "Prime Ministers and Their Race- hgQrses," another significant indica - teen of the •kind of Englishman who finds his keenest delight in the breeding and racing of :horses. Lord Rockingham was the first of tile. Prime Ministers who won distinction on the turf, .his best ,horse being Bay Molten. This horse had the honor of beating the famous Gimcrack, the little grey who won twenty-five races and is ,the patron saint of the Gim- crackClub. Mr. Strachey evidently has his own independent ideas about race horses for he says that the smaller a 'horse is the better and that if you ever hear of great feats of speed or endurance in a horse you are almost certain to find that he or she is not more than fifteen hands. Gimcrack was a shade more than fo�ttr- teen hands. If this is a safe rule to go upon many modern :instances might be cited in contradiction of it. Man 0' War, for example, is sixteen Brands, if not !more. The Duke of Grafton was a racing mean, and Palmerston, though he did not have much success on £he turf, was devoted to it, and would leave a debate at any moment to talk to his .trainer in the lobby. 'He had high hopes of winning a Derby with Maidstone, .the year that Thormanby won, and .his only consolation was that the leader of the Opposition shared in the same defeat with Cape Flyaway. An amusing account is given of Palmerston moving that the House should adjourn over Derby Day on the :ground that to do so - was an unwritten law and that' his Majesty's Government did not wish to "depart from so wholesome a custom." A few days later when Gladstone, a member of his Cabinet, exptessed bitter disappointment over the defeat in the Lords of a pet measure, Palmerseos retorted, "Of coarse, you are mortified... and die, - appointed, btrt -your disappointment is nothing to mine, who ,hats a horse with whom I 'hooped to win .the Derby and Inc'wet amiss at the ;last mo- ment," The late Duke of Devonshire per- haps took more interest in the Turf than in anything else.eile devoted vast sums to building' up a great stable, 'bust - won only one of the classic races, that ,being the Oaks, if memory serves. Of him the author writes:. "The statesman who refused three times to be Prime Minister, and who, wrote of the pos- sible succession of Gladstone that `tot really will be a great thing to be out of it,' -would gladly have given ,his 'life instead' of his leisure to the •prosecution of the sport of racing. In the House of Commons he yawned in the course of his own speech; at Newmarket Inc was never bored. 'Sometimes; he said,,`I dream that- I am leading. iii' the winner of the -Herby, but I am afraid it will never be -anything but a dream.' Reluctantly he thought that his destiny summoned shim - to spublic life and office acrd - so he obeyed. But that he eared greatly for the Turf and acknowledged its claim, .is well known. The dates for Cabinets were oftee fixed to suit his racing engagements, and Inc sometimes cancelled important com- mittees Shen they clashed with such appointnrents.

Just think of the time and cost of labor saved in laying the roof of a big barn, freight shed or other large building with this new Tirantford Asphalt Slab Slate which is four shingles in one. Fewer nails are also required. Brantford Asp -halt Slab Slates are so cleverly designed • that a roof laid with them has the appearance of being covered with individual size shingles. One sizs only: 32 inch x 12 inch, with cut outs five inches. They are laid five inches to the weather. Red or'green color. Brantford Asphalt Slab ates are made of the same materials as our famous Brantford Asphak Slates which have given such satisfaction for artistM homes.
