Crewe ' Robert Menary is pruning trees for A. Mc Q'uottltiw weed King La :grippe has knocked out a number of our citizens. We trust they will recover speedily, however, .and soon be at the front again. Robert Curran made a business trip to Lucknow last week. Wood cutting is the order of the day around here. Mr Archie Johnston of Lanes made a business trip to this place last week. Mr John Mallick of Zion visited Mr John Hunter Sunday. 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 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 Scottish Hero expects to clear on Wednesday morning for Detroit, where she will 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 Vest ladies.

BARRETT LUCHNO\O" 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. %AM ' - • -,610 Don't heavily ,ucceed.

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.
