And that gun is not superseded to -day, Ilut for trench work, for aero. planes, if you ask our boys, they have but one name to say—"Lewis" --that wonderful little machine-gun, manageable by one elan, light, effi- cient, dependable. • Like the Maxim, it is the invention of an American, Col, Isaac N. Lewis. Englishmen are apt to think that' an invention, has at least a double chance of success in the States, yet both the Maxim and the Lewis guns were taken up by the British, and it seems a providential circumstance, considering what an asset the Lewis gun has chess to our men in, the trenches and tanks, and in the air, that British capital came to Col. Lewis' aid only some 12 months be- fore the war broke out. After detailing his failure to give his gun to the American Government, the Colonel told the 'U.S.A. military affairs committee; "I went over to Brussels in 1912, but I soon found that my Belgian company was in the hands of the Germans. My president and manag- ing -director were both under German influence. My company was about to pass under German control. I suc- ceeded, by the help of my loyal Bel- gian associates, in ousting our presi- dent and managing -director, "I went to London," be eortinned, "to the Birmingham Small Arms Co. I dict not know anybody con- nected with the company, but I made an appointment to go there with the gun. In forty-eight hours I had elo-8- ed a contract for the exclusive manu- facture of the Lewis gun in Europe, We are working under that contract to -day. They, are delivering guns every week to 'the British forces," In writing to the Secretary of War at Washington, under date Dec. 11, 1917, the colonel has some very ln- -teresting information to give. He says: "The Lewis gun is no longer .a new anal untried weapon. It has success- fully met every military requirement, under a grilling test of more than three years of daily service on the battlefields of Europe during the greatest war in history." The colonel's story of how his own Government turned Lis gun=down is remarkable: "As early as 1911, when the first model of the Lewis gun was built, I took it myself to Washington and presented it in person to the chief of the staff, requesting him to examine it." He goes on to tell how his offer was ignored again and again, bow, when he wrote as lately as Decent- . ber, 1913, to the Secretary of War, renewing his offer, and asserting his willingness to relinquish royalties aggregating two and a ,quarter mil - lien dollars on forty thousand guns already under contract for the Gov- ernment, no reply was v.iuchsafed. Asked why he wished to make these great sacrifices, Col. Lewin said: "I got my education at the Gov- ernment expense. I developed my gun under very discouraging circum - 'stances. I was a poor man with a large family, But there is a deeper dtttestion, a far deeper -question. This country is facing the struggle of its life. Are we to be a vassal nation or a sovereign nation? That is in the balance to -day." • World's Best Beggar. . The London IlospitaI has a real egging campaign not oftener than every ave years. This year is one such quinquennial, and the chairman, Lord Knutsford, the world's record beggar, is in search of a million half- crowns, "Since the. last quinquennial," he writes to the Daily Express. "I have written literally thousands of letters. I have alienated many friends whose friendship towards me was not cheque -deep, and I have been run over by a motor -lorry which brought in £20,000, but is the sort of thing that cannot be done too often. 'Shortly put, we have to raise £150,000 a year, with an endowment Of only £30,000 a year to depend on. "Take but one case—the case of nurses. They are underpaid, and too often not too well fed and badly ac- commodated, We have recently made a further move towards betterment, but this alone has added £4,000 a ,fear - to expenditure. "I am not wishing to cry 'Wolf.' We mean to keep open doors at the London' as long as, possible, but if We do not get enough money now to carry on during the next five years, some part of the work..must go under, "If I eau collect a million half- crowns by December 1, the birthday of our president, Queen Alexandra, the position will be saved." Lord Knutsford asks that cheques naay be sent to him at the London Hospital, E.1. The Hiltis:Ls, "I have just come back from forty- eight hours' duty in Paris," writes an officer in a Highla.id regiment. "My servant and 1, both in the kilt, were buying sone stuff outside a shop, as one does in Paris, when a crowd of about twenty people gathered routed and simply stared — some amused, open-mouthed, and some doubtless in admiration. I was amused at first, but it got a bit too mush of a good thing, and my servant, who is a wag, said, 'Shall I hand round the hat, sir?' So, not thinking lie would, I said, 'Yes, do,' and --- if he didn't whip off his Balmoral and take it round perfe.t.ly seriously with a ehildlilte expression on his face. They Cleared off all right, 90010 grinning" and Oboes looking very sheepish. But we got nothing!" Air Bald Warnings. In the French cities warning of German air raiders is given by sirens Of different collstru.ction, $ome elee- tric, others worked by r'i:lil`re.ssed air or steam. The sound of these sirens is so powerful and penetrating that it can be heard for miles even under unfavorable conditions. Look- outs are maintained at elevated points and day and night close watch is kept upon the liorison line in the direction toward the enemy. Paris itself, however, has been al- ln, t immune from aerial attack.

It plowed the field that afternoon, A„d when the job was through, It hummed a pleasant little tune, And churned the butter too; Then pumped the water for the stock And ground a crib of corn, And hauled the baby round the block, To still its cries forlorn. Thus ran the busy hours away, By many a labour blessed, And yet when fell the twilight grey The tractor had no rest; For while the farmer, peaceful -eyed, Read by the tungsten's flow, The patient tractor stood outside And ran the dynamo. 13111 ev ale Mr, Ernest Churchill -underwent an operation in Wingham Hospital last weelc, We hope he 'w 11 soon be around again.
