Mr John Henderson of Zion was the
guest of Crewe friends Sunday.
A large number attended the lecture
given in aid of the Belgian Relief Fund
here Thursday evening last. The lec-
turer made it ctear to us why the war is
not reaching a conclusion more quickly.
It is owing to the fact that superior
numbers were required to drive the Ger-
mans from the fortifications and well
entrenched po>Eitions of their own terri-
tory, and the difficulty of transporting,
in the early stage of the war, sufficient
troops to accomplish this herculean task.
Reports are to hand, however, of the
bravery of the Canadians in the field of
battle, and we predict that the war will
soon reach a victorious conclusion for
Britain and her allies. We expect,
moreover, to see some some of our Cana-
dian soldiers, when they return home,
proudly bearing the V. C.
Su.;ker spearing is now being engaged
in by some lovers of that exhilarating
sport.

Goderich, April 12.—The freighter,
Drummond, always the first to get in
in -the spring, made an attempt to open
navigation this afternoon by clearing
for the Soo, but after forcing her way
past the outside breakwater was coin_
pelled to turn around and come back
as the ice was too heavy for her. The
wind of last night had blown the fields
of ice over to this shore. The Scottish
Hero expects to clear on Wednesday

be cut in two to enable her to get thru
the canal for Montreal, where she will
be refitted for the sugar trade in the

THE DUNGANNON NEWS
ATROCITIES IN POLAND DON'TS FOR THE BEGINNER
IN THE CHICKEN EUSINESS
Polish Newspaper Published in Mil-
waukee Tells of German Brutality
"Poland's Cause," a daily news
paper published partly in English and
partly in Polish at Milwaukee, Wis.,
printed a lumber of letters illus-
trative of German brutality in Poland.
A.mcng others these are typical:
"Ccunt Thomas Potocki, of Soch-
aczew (near Warsaw), was taken be-
fore a German court-martial, sentenced
to death and shot—because he pro-
tested against the robberies and de-
liberate burning and devastation com-
mitted
om-
mitte 1 by the German soldiery."
"in Ciepielowo, the Germans took
everything away from the peasants.
When leaving the palace in Ciepie-
lowo the officers deliberately chopped
to pieces all furniture and destroyed
all the pictures.
"In Januszewo they robbed the
palace and the peasants of everything
that they could carry off.
"A detachment of German soldiers
arrived in the village of Gory (near
Kalisz) at night time. When the
niglitwatcbman asked them what they
wanted, they shot him down. Then
they shot and wounded several other
people and burned down the palace.
'In all invaded villages every,hing
was taken away from the peasants.
Whenever anyone protested, he w.is
shot down.
"In To:naszow the commanding of
iicer had :.11 the kerosene oil taken
from a Jewish dealer. The Jew cama
to the odicer, who was then standing
on the bridge, and asked him for a
_oucy order for the oil taken. In
i'ply, the ofiacer threw the Jew nto
the river. The officers appropriated
for themselves all they could take in
the pi-ivat3 homes. For instance, in
Silber's house they took even such
things as a silk quilt and a pillow,
in addition to other things. They mis-
treated the populace.
"As a result of these and hundreds'
of o_her abuses and brutalities, several
hundred Polish reservists in the Ger-
man army near Kalisz deserted to
the Ruszian lines. The Germans
burned down several flour mil's near
Kalisz. L. M. Kohn, a prominent
Jewsh merchant, was arrested and
tortured, and finally killed."
BLUCHER WAS FAILURE
Authentic Story of How Germans
V."€re Fooled Into Building Criiaer
Many stories have been to d of the
iii fated creiser Blucher, Germany s
"reply" to the Dreadnought. But
from the Navy and Army, is probably
the true version: When th , D: cad
naught was laid down at Portsmouth
there were three other 13riti_h shi s
of the same type is d down up north,
only they were the first of th 2 tattle
c_oisers—the Invincible. -.nflexible a__d
lndoniitab_e. The estia2at - -for th
your gave the shipbu dding prot;rani
.s one battleship, throe armorei
cruisers, and the only noti e taken
was that it was not enoush for o...r
re:tuirements. The aimored cru: ;ers
,,arc =_erai'y ac_e-eted as b.ing a
r pE titi:-n of the "Shannon' class, aril
the battleship as ano.her "L:rd Nel-
son."
suddenly rumor3 were spread
about tf.ie latter. It was going t3 Le
quite uiii'erent from any ether battl ,-
ebip; no one was allowed t3 go any -
v;1 -,ere near the building stip, while
building operations were pushed for-
ward at ph; nonrenal speed. An air
of mystery sotrrounde.d the who -e
thin;;, till at last the attention of the
v. hole world became concentrated
upon it. That Ge::_any made very
de prate e;'_crs to penetrate the vet:
is well known; that she failed is pretty
well proved by the fact that her own
battleship 1:rcgram was held in abey-
ance till the features of the British
ship became known.
Not so her cruiser program, and the
Blucher was the resultant armored
which was a great advance
on the British Shannons, because it
really embodied the all -big -gun ship
idea, carrying twelve 8.2 -inch, with a
25 -knot speed, as against the four
-inch, and ten 7.5 -inch of tb3
"Shannoas" v: ith their 23 -knot speed.
That Germany thought she had stolen
a march on the British is certain
and her writers were jubilant. Mere -
: Cil the whole world talked "Dread-
noug`.:t," and the three armored crus
,crs building tip north were entirely
forgotten. When these particulars at
1:,st beta_ e known, it was discoverol
that they .arried eight 12 -inch guns
elid had a speed of 28 knots, and 3.i
1:,erniany had been bluffed into spend-
ing a million-and-a-qualcter on a slip
of no use, and which is now at th.e
bottom.

EVERYDAY SCIENCE
Explanation of Phenomena We Some-
times Wonder About
Why does a whip crack? Why do
bits of buff come cff the end of the
\vhp whin you cra k it Why do_s
a bust ;_:ll bat st ng? One might ask
dozens of su.h quest on3, dealing with
little problems of everyday life, which
would puzzle not a few pzop.e.
A whip cracks fcr the same reason
that a bullet sings or a :_h_11 whistles
or whines. It is a mater of speed
or v elo_ity. When a thing moves
rapidly through the air, it reaches th3
velocity of sound, in other words
makes a noise by pushing the air
aside. The speed at which a whip
travels through the air when lashed
Is greater and greater throughout its
entire length, and so great at the end
that it comes t tie velocity of sound.
.41.nd this also explains why the fluff
at the end of the whip is torn off by
the friction of the air, and why the
end of a wet towel or handkerchief
harts you so much when someone
flicks you with it.
It is a popular belief that safety
aches will not strike except on the
box; but they will strike on anything
that is very smooth, such as glass.
The simple explanation is that if the
match is rubbed on a smooth surfao3
the friction is sufficient to make It
{hot, and it gets hotter and hotter
until it ignites. In the case of safety
matches, however, the surface on
which they are struck must be per-
feotly smooth, otherwise the rough -
nese will rub off the substance on
the tip.
When a baseball bat is hit tco near
the end the hand is stung because the
impact coming. at that par tigglar
point drives the bat up.
Here is a simple trick which one
can perform with an egg and yet,
perhaps, not know how it is ac.:om-
gilohed. Spin an uncooked egg on
a plate, and then place the hand upon
it. stopping the moti.:n mome :tartly.
Immediately the hand is removed tie
egg will resume its spinning motion,
on account of the fluid co..ten:s of
the shell, which first act t s a brake,
and afterwards continue thea gyra-
tions when the shell Is stopped.
The kitchen provides mangy sipiple
lessons in science. A loaf taked with
only flour, water, and salt will be so
heavy that it can .lardly be cut, but
the addition of yeast produces the
loaf as we know it. This is explained
by the fact that when yeast is em-
ployed carboulc add gas is produced,
which gives rise to the sponginess
essential in the structure of good
Weed.
Natural Blankets
lihture is kind in leicuador. Wheat
a native wants a blanket he goea to
a demajagua tree, and cuts from it
a strip of peculiarly soft thick barn,
b feet or 6 feet long. This is dam%
pened and beaten until the flexibility
of the sheet is much increased. The
rough, grey exterior is next peeled off;
and the sheet dried in the sun. The
result is a ulanlcet, soft, light ani
fairly warm, of an attractive cream
color. It may be roiled into a com-
pact bundle without hurt, and win
ordinary usage 11/41 last for several
veara.
