The Germans expect an armistice by - Christmas, and the end of the war in February. They imagine the condi - lions in England regarding food are as bad as with them. Cunningham was captured when i making a sortie, with sixteen others, I ten yards from the enemy trenches. An °Meer and eleven men were killed and the remainder were taken pris- oners, but all except Cunningham were killed on the way to the Ger- man rear by the British artillery, During a sortie he received a bayonet wound in the leg, and was taken , before a German general, who show- ed him a book containing the records of the Canadian army in France. He pressed him for thformation con- cerning reinforcements. Next morn- ing he was taken to German head- quarters, into a dugout, 150 feet deep, Subsequently he was tak,en to i Cambria. He was in a hospital there ten days. During this time the place was bombed by British airmen. He was three days without food in the journey to the prima camp at Dulmen, was inoculated four times, vaccinated six times, isolated for a month, then put on sinking pumps for wells. His food largely consisted of a kind of meal looking like serer - fin. Here he met McArthur, and they arranged. to escape together, and, with a South African soldier, speaking German, they lowered themselves from the barracks, walk- ed to the station and asked for three tickets to a certain place, which were issued readily, They arrived safely and .walked through the 'vil- lage, and rested till night in a small wood. Continuing the journey, they encountered first-line sentries, but crossed the frontier without a Luis - bap. The British consul looked after them well.

There are many people who don't believe in pro hibltion—but there are few we think 'who will not agree that from the point of view of wartime economy and conservation, It is desirable—yes essentlal—that the wiriest possible measure of prohibitory law be enact ed and enforecd . And that is what the Government's pronouncement means. The sane and logical course is be- ing followed—prohibition of import- ation. stopping inter -provincial ship- ments and finally ending the manu- facture of all aleholie beverages of over 2 ea per cent, proof spirits, That is °lily light beers and wines which are virtually non -intoxicating will be procurable, It is a sweeping program of prompt temperance reform that will remove the loopholes which have Militated against provincial temper- ance measures such as the Ontario Temperance Act. It is aerofouudly I certain that the licensed bar will never return. Prohibitory laws are always world-wide now. Men and woihen did not dare hope to see John Barley -corn given his death blow.

For a long time the French have need him to drag small ambulances and to carr Y relief -to wounded soldiers and the men in the trenehes. Several stories of heroic conduct on the part of the canine 1pecies have been recorded. Scot - and Yard, London, for years has :ooked to the dog to track down mur- derers, and not a few criminals have peen safely landed behind prison nars owing to the keen scent and sagacity of the bloodhound. Two German airmen recently escaped Nom an internment camp near Maid- eehead, and for some days no trace could be found of them.
