In the day of peace for the world of trade,
They stamped their marks on the goods
they made; '
T3ut never again will they flaunt their
• name.
For they have•made it a badge of. shame,
They've stripped it bare • of its outward
pride,
And shown the creed and the lust inside
And men will shudder whene'er they see.
Hell's label red; "Made in Germany."
Before their eyes dead men will float,
Who were left to die in an open boat.
To the end of time will pictures rise
Of demons high in the summer skies
Seeking the haunts where the wounded
lie
To murder them as they hurry by.
Nor all their• skill nor their art. will hide
The naptive boy that they crucified.
A little child with his right hand gone
Will live when the years have travelled
on.
As the ,sign of the German heart and
schools
With the crimson blood of the, babes in
pools
And the innocent dead, with their faces
fair,
Bombed by the cowards high in air
Will rise long after the war shall cease
To shame the Hun in the years of peace
Jr Made in Germany! men will start
)
As they see that badge of the German
heart.
On whatever that stamp of shame is seen,
There will be the curse of a thing unclean.
They have foiled, with sin, what once was
pride
And they shall live by the world denied;
For `wherever that mark through the
years is met "
There will rise the scenes that men can't
forget.
Editor (sets Into Trouble
editors, They tell lots of tales on the but
this is a new one: The editor of a Kansas
paper went to attend a party given by one
of his neighbors, where just a few weeks
before the home had been blessed with a
new baby. The hostess met him at the
door and, after the usual salutation, he
asked after the baby's health. The lady
was hard of hearing, had a- bad cold, and
thinking he was asking about herself, an-
swered that although she usually had one
every winter, this was the worst one she
ever had, it kept her awake at night a
great deal, and at first confined her to her
bed. Then noticing that the editor was
acting very strangely, she said she could
tell by his looks and actions that he was
going to have one just like hers, and she
asked him to come in out of the draft and
sit down.—The Ladies' Horne Journal.

WHAT Tit We it COSTS, KEEi'INIi BIENNIAL VE0E.
Sow Flgirres That Stagger the
Ordinary Man,
Which country of France, Great
Britain, and Germany, is spending
most money? Title is one of the
questlone answered in "German War
Profits," where a table lo given,
based upon the eeeeziditure during
the first three years of warfare,
Great Britain spent ,£'111 19s. per
head of population during this period.
France comes next, with £88 16s.
and Germany next, with 164 10s.
Assuming Germany's financial bur-
den to be 100, France has to bear
138, and Great Britain 174.
An American statistician, writing
in the Century Magazine, carries
these figures a step or two further.
Iso estimates that, if the countries
could devote livery cent of their in-
come to the National Debt, it would
take France the longest to pay it off.
Slie would require three and one-
third years to do it in. Germany
would take over two years. We
would take just under two. The
United Stales could settle the jop in
two or three months!
It is impossible to calculate a
nation's income with any degree of
exactness, but the following may be
taken as approximately correct:
United States' income, £8,000,000,-
000; Great Britain's income, £2,500,=
000,000; Germany's income, £2,200,-
000Q00:000000.;
000,00,000;000France's income, £1,200;
.
When we consider the cost of the
war in the bulk, and compare it with
the above incomes, we enter truly
bewildering realms. During the first
three years of the war, the Central
Empires spent roughly £7,600,000,-
000, or an average of £2,5,33,000,000
odd a year, The Allies—excluding
the war outlay of Serbia, Row:pante,
Greece, Japan and the United states
—spent £13,370,000,000, averaging
44.456,000,000 odd a year!
The belligerents have a credit as
well as a debit account, and Germany
has temporarily gained a great deal
of potential wealth,
Besides "movable booty," of which
there is a vast quantity, she has se-
cured possession of 212,000 square
rniles of territory in France, Bel-
gium, Italy, Rpssia, Roumania, Ser-
bia and lVjontenegro. Before the war
the value or these vast tracts was
estimated at about £6,400,000,000,
but probably this figure ip tee low.
Against this, the Allies have little
more than the German colonies in
Africa. These undoubtedly contain
much potential wealth, but they do
not compare commercially with the
gains of the enemy.
England, because such things are not
normal to humanity. He shrinks still
more perhaps from discussing them,
And yet just because they are net
normal, the fact that these outrages
are being ccommitted• and all that this
fact means is apt to be lost sight of.
With a vividness all the more re-
markable because so largely uncon-
scious, Major Fox showed, East of all.
the terrible shock with which the
British soldier, who would "gladly
have called his foe noble," found him
out utterly ignoble. The major tells
how, in the course of the first battle
of Ypres, he and his men captured
some 200 prisoners together with of-
ficers; how he sympathized with the
officers, offered them refreshment,
told them it was "jolly hard luck"
for then, and did all he could for
them and their men; how, a few
hours afterwards he was in German
hands, and when he was brought to
the officer who was to have charge
of hint, this "officer "turned and spat
at him full in the face." That was
the beginning of three years of In-
sults, suffering, and degradation,
days at a time in crowded filthy cat-
tle trucks, without food or water,
with interludes at wayside stations
where women offered them food, and
snatched it away again on learning
they were English,
Then once in • the camp, they were
destined to be the daily helpless wit-
nesses of outrages on common hu-
ntantty the like of which the world
has few records outside the annals of
the Inquisition. Let one case be tak-
en, and its significance appreciated,
Three clerks from Parisi were forced
to work in the coal mines, -Utterly
inexperienced and unfitted for the
work, at the end of a day of toll,
their output was too small and they
were condemned ' to twenty-four
hours in the steam cell, and now let
Maier Fox complete the story. "The
steam cell," he said, "is small, and
when the men are inside and the
door closed, hot steam is turned on,
and there is no release for twelve
hours. At the end of twelve hours,
the door was opened, and the strong-
est of the . three was able to walk
out. and pull a half-conscious broth-
er after him. The third was dead.
Soup was given to the survivors, and
then they were ordered back, the
stronger of the two being ordered to
carry the other one, He refused.
'One brother,' he said, 'died last
night; I will not earry another one
in to die.' The German sergeant in
Charge, for a reply, took his rifle and
shot. the half-trlpefied Frenchman
dead before the eyes of his comrade,"
Now this was not an isolated case
of barbarity, the depraved device 'of
some Germans soldier, The steam cell
is apparently a recognized Gennari
institution. It is one of many suer
institutions, all of which hate, Po far
as any known protest to the Contrary
goes to show, the full approval and
recognition of the German people.

'IAbLES FOR SEEL
13y the term "biennial" vegetables is
meant one *hick takes two seasons to
produce seed, writes the Dominion Horti-
culturist in a leaflet giving advice on the
"Selection and Wintering of Biennial
Vegetables for Seed" which can be had
free from the Publications Branch, De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. The
vegetables must be stored over the .first
winter and replanted for seed production
the following spring. Some well-known
vegetables of this class are beets, cabbage,
carrots, celery, parsnips,. salsify and tur-
nips. Seed from these can easily be grown
in Canada if the vegetables to be so used
are kept in good condition over the.
winter. Unless a rigid selection is made,
each year, of specimens which are true to
type, it will not be long before a larger
proportion of the crop will be not true to
type; hence great care should be taken to
select well -shaped, medium-sized roots,
typical of the variety, of beets, carrots,
parsnips, salsify and turnips, firm -headed
cabbage true to type, firm stalked and
disease -resistant plants of celery, and firm,
shapely onion bulbs, If this is done and
varieties are kept far enough from others
so that they will not cross the crop, Can-
adian grown seed should compare favour-
ably with imported seed in regard to
purity, as it does in other characteristics.
The methods of wintering vegetables
for seed will vary in different parts of
Canada, but in most places it will be
necessary to give them some protection.
When possible, it is best to store them in
a rr0st-proof cellar, put, if necessary,
-the vegetables may be stored outside,
both in small and in Large quantities, (=x-
cept in the case of onions, °which ipust be
kept dry, and stored in a cool place where
there is little or no frost.
LET HIM LIVE
As long as the flowers their perfume give,
I'd let the Kaiser live;
Live and live for a million years
With nothing to drink but Belgium tears;
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the salted brine of a Scatchman's
curse;
I would let him live on a dipper each day,
Served with things on a golden tray,
Served with everything— but things to
eat, ,
I would make him a bed of silken shears,
With costly linens to lie between, '
With covers of down, and fillets of lace,
And downey pillows piled in place.
Yet when to its comfort he would yield
It would stink with the rot of the battle
field,
And blood and brains and bones of men
Should cover him, smother•him. and then
His pillow would cling with the rotten
clay, -
Clay from the graye of a soldier boy;
And while God's stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves of white sands
sweep,
He should never never sleep.
And through all the days—through all the
years,
There should be an anthem in his ears
Ringing and ringing and never done,
From the edge of light to the set of sun
Moaning and moaning, and moaning wild,
A ravaged French girl's bastard child.
And I'd build kiln a castle by the sena,
As lovely a castle as ever could be,
Then I'd show him a ship from o'er the
sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat.
Yet scarce does she touch the silver Sands,
Scarce may he reach out his eager hands—
Then a hot and a hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell.
And Tho' he'd watch by the wave swept
shore,
Our Lucitania would rise no more.
In No Mans Land, where the Irish fell,
I'd start the Kaiser a private hell,
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas,
And in each wound I'd pour ground glass,
I'd march him out where the brave boys
died,
Out past the lads he crucified.
In fearful gloom, in his living tomb
There's one thing I'd do before us there—
I'd make him sing in a stirring manner
The wonderful words of "The Star Span-
gled Banner."

John Barleycorn Porced To Retreat
The Executive Committee of the Huron
County Temperance Alliance are of the
opinion that the present method of regu-
lating the sale of liquor by vendors is
very defective. They claim that the
vendors are pushing their business with
the doctors and informing them concern-
ing methods by which liquor can be se-
cured. The vendors apparently are not
familiar with the law as it applies to Can-
ada Temperance Counties and they have
been notified that if further shipments are
sent into Huron County contrary to aur
law, prosecution will follow. Tlie dodo}s
and express agents are also liable tci pro-
secution if they violate the law by giving
requisitions, and delivering shipments.
Liquor and alcohol can be secured in
C. 'I'. A. Counties only through a drug-
gist on a doetor's prescription, and the
doctor must only prescribe what is con-
sidered absolutely necessary at the time
the prescription is given and the quantity
must not exceed ten ounCf:s.

;+hlpy
Of 400 13ritirlh Ships sunit in the
last two and a half years at leapt 50
oer cent, have been raised trona the
bottom of the sea. The organization
t,.;:i,aszsib1e ---- the Admiralty Salvage
l)1*partnrent_ . is CQm1osed entirely of
,*xp„rts employed by a Commercial
firm which engaged in the business
before the war, Ships were so cheap
then, however, that often it did not
pay to raise a sunken wreck and re-
store her to seagoing condition.
Things aro very different now, anti
the result is that invention has been
stimulated to ILn extraordinary ex-
tent.. it used to be considered that
1,500 tons was the greatest weight
that could be lifted from under water
by wire ropes. A sunken Government
collier that was. obstructing a fair-
way was lifted out of the mud re-
cently and carried away by four lift-
ing ships, with sixteen .9ench wire
ropes, and the dead weight carried
was calculated at 2,750 tons. The
wreck was shifted one mile at the
first lift, and so was gradually taken
to the beach, Patched up and sent
off to the" repairing yard. She went •
back into service and made several
voyages before a torpedo ended her
career altogether. Ships sunk in
deep water cannot be salved, It is
not expected that the Lusitania, for
example, will ever be lifted, Divers
cannot work in nior•e than twenty-five
fathoms successfully, though for spe-
cial purposes they may sometimes go
down to thirty-flve fathoms for a.
brief spell of work. The bulk of the
ships saved have been sunk in less'
than twenty fathoms, or !rave been _
towed inshore by rescue tugs, and
have gone aground in fairly easy
positions,
The salvage men face considerable
ricks, not only from bad weather, but
also from submarine attack. Only
the salvage ship, however, has been
lost tereul h eperiy action,. Many
risks are run by the divers, particu-
larly from gases generated by de-
composed vegetables and meat in
the holds of sunken ships, deaths
having resulted from this cause.
Grain, it seems, develops sulphuret -
ted hydrogen, which occasions blind-
ness and violent sickness. A chemist,
however, has found a preparation
which when sprayed on a rotting
cargo immediately kills the gases and
enables men to carry on their work .

Go to Franco "For the Ride."
History relates that:
There was a young fellow named
Hyde,
Who once at a funeral was spied;
• When. asked who Was dead.
..Tie just nodded and said:
'!1 'don't know; I just carne -fee tree'
. ride!" •
•
Leaving out the malty well-inten-
tioned and loyal people who have
come to do real good practical work
over here, it seems to us that a good
many of our fellow-countrymen—
some in skirts, and some even in
khaki—"just came for the ride,"
says a writer with our Expeditionary.
Force.
What they are doing over here is
beyond us. They speak vaguely of
"uplift," of "investigation," or "co-
ordinating branches," and some even
more brazenly speak of "getting at-
mosphere"; nothing more. Some--
we will let the reader gueps the gen-
der—are as, naive as to exclaim:
"Why, didn't you know -that France
is all the rage this year? Everybody
is coming over!"
If that "everybody" referred to
the army, all would be well; but we
rather "imagine that the young lady
—you guessed it—who employed the
word has reference to "everybody
worth while," or "everybody in our
set." Now, while "everybody worth
while" or "everybody in our aet"
have their nses—when in khaki, tot-
ing a gun or an automatic, or (in
ease of the ladies) working in the
hospitals er canteens—we don't see
how they ear). be so very useful if
they approach the war in that spirit.
People who come over to France
Without definite, concrete, telling
work planned out ahead of them,
people, who merely drift peer here
because "it's the thing to do," are
really hindering the cause more than
they are helping it,
We are eheer•fully foregoing a lot
of expected parcels from home be-
catttp we are told that _they take up
too much space in ships destined to
bring men, steel; beef, and other
rock -bottom essentials of war over

fulness to see our forfeited ship space
taken up by a lot of folk who "just
came for the ride,"
The Torpedo.
I3ack of the torpedo is' its fish-
shaped body, containing all the naas
chinery to drive and steer after it has
been launched. From forward aft we
find compartments ee follows; A
compressed airreservoir, an immer-
sion • or bplance chamber, engine
space arid n buoyancy chamber. The
tiny engine is driven by compressed
ate, whioh is compressed_ to a high
a
degree, and It rotates the propellers
r e
whereby the projectile is carried
through the water. The immersion
or balance chamber provides means,
of maintaining the depth et which
the torpedo shall travel through tate
water after being launched. In the
engine chamber there is also the de-
vice ;or keeping the projectile to its
designed path daring its travel. This
is achieved by means of a gyroscope.
The buoyancy chamber, which is
placed aft of the engine chamber, is
virtually a vacuum, Without this
chamber the torpedo would eink. The
propellers and rudders are astern
and outside the torpedo's body,
