SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY AID
VICTORY LOAN
•
As an instance of how science and industry have co-operated in helping:to win
the war, it is interesting to note that Sir Thomas White, K.C.M.G., Minister of
Finance, has made a special "1 -lis Master's Voice " Record for the purpose of
actually informing the Canadian Public in his cern voice concerning the need'of
the second Victory Loan.
Science has thus made it possible for the voice of the Finance Minister to be
heard in thousands of places in every part of the Country at the same time.
, The illustration shows Sir Thomas" caught in the act " as he made his special
recording at the laboratories of the Berliner Gratn-o-phone Company, Limited,
Montreal.

Telephone Service and
Spanish "Flu"
In common with the general community the operating
staff has been effected by the present epidemic of colds.
and influenza and has been seriously depleted in con-
sequence.
At the same time the volume of telephone calls has
greatly increased. So many people are ill at home that
the telephone has been used continously and the load of
extra calls on our depleted operating force has been
very heavy.
Please keep this extraordinary situation in mind and
Use Vour Telephone Only When Absolutely
•Necessary. You will thus be helping to keep the
service intact to meet the. urgent needs of the com-
munity in the present emergency.

Acting Vlee-Admiral Sir Roger
Keyes, lege.n„ M.V.O. D.S.O.,
who commanded Oto brilliant opera

tions againet Zeebrugge and Ostend,
when the mole at Zeebrugge was
breached and a great part of the fair-
way into Osiend harbor was blocked,
hue had a knighthood of the Order
of the Bath vonferred upon him by
the Xing in recognition of his dis-
tinguished services on that occasion.
Laat December, Sir Roger Keyes one-
eeeded. Viee-Admiral Bacon as ad.
miral a,t Dover, when he was ap-
pointed to. that command by Sir ROON-
lyn Wolves, First Sea Lord, Sir
Roger enjoys a very high, reputation
in the navy, both on account of- his
technical qualifications and also for
his initiative and courage, Entering
-
the navy in 1885 he was despatched
to the China, station at the time Of
the Baur rising, For his. services
on that occasion he was promoted
commander, and received a medal
and two clasps.He next acted
as naval attache successively in
Ttame, Nienna,, Athens, and Constan-
tinople, In 1912 he was appointed
commodore in charge of the sub-
marine service in home waters. After
the outbreak of war, in 1914, Ad-
miral Keyes commanded the sub-
"ina.rine flotilla which guarded the
Heligoland Bight, ready to attack the
German fleet if it made 'its appear-
ance. In 1915 he metered as chief of
BOX to Vice -Admiral de Robeck in
the Dardanelles operatiOns, The fol-
lowing year, Sir Roger Keyes receiv-
ed the 0.M.G., and the D.$.0,, in
recognition of his 'services. Last
year he was promoted to flag rank.
War Hysteria.
Mr. Justice Darling, the famous
English judge, made these comments
in giving his decision, at the Old
Bailey, in the case against Ilent7
Murray, author, charged with libel-
ling Sir William F. Marwood, Joint
Permanent Secretary to the Board of
Trade:
"X read in the letters Written by
defendant that he is suffering from
that kind of, shall I say, war mania
which affects a considerable number
of persons in this country. It is per-
fectly obvious that some people ow-
ing perhaps to the long. continued
military operations and the strain
which they put on. everyone, people
who in ordinary circumstances would
be quite quiet and decent citizens,
have taken leave of their senses to
some extent, and do things which
they would -not do in ordinary times.
"Defendant, like people 1 have had
in this tourt, is suffering from, 1
will not call it mania, but a crazy
condition of mind which leads them
to do all manner of things, some
criminal, and some merely foolish.
Because 1 detect this ht. him, I will
not send hint to prison," •
Ie fined Murray £100, and order-
ed him to p0 the costs Qg the prose-
cution, and also- enter illtO his eWti
recognizances n ith a surety In the
sum on 2500 to be of good behaviour
for two years. "I3y that time." 804
the judge, "I hope the war will be
over."
The Eisteddfod.
The antiquity of the Eisteddfod,
the gathering for the election of chief
bards, which Mr. Lloyd George, in
his quality of. Welshman, attended
recently, is a subject about which
there can be no question. wbatever,
Por the Eisteddfod is the direct de-
scendant of the Druldie Gersedd, and
the origin 'of the Gorsedd is lot lu
the remoteness of time. Sir • Norman
Lockyer once declared that he was
content to believe that the Welsh
Gorsedd was at least forty centuries
pld. That is as it may be, but in the
case of the Eisteddfod, the date of
the first gathering of the name is
known to have been 540, and the
place Deganwy. The president was
one Maelgwyn Gwynedd, and the pro-
ceedings were somewhat remarkable.
The story Is' that Gwynedd offered a
reward to those bads and minstrels
who should swim the River Conway.
This fent they performed, but on
reaching the other shore, though the
bards were quite ready to sing, the
harpers found themselves unable to
playe, owing to the effect of the im-
mersion on thein harps. But that was
Walea in the good old days!
Female Officials. •
The sweeping changes which the
war has brought about in the per-
sonnel of the public services in Great
Britain has certainly not produced a
class of employes any the Tess able
to bring a ready wit to bear on the
incidents of their work. Rather the
reverse. Individtiality and that qual-
ity best described as "on the spot"
are quite noticeable. A householder
in London found in her letter -box,
lately, a little missive couched in the
bellowing terms: "The postman has
dropped two letters in your box for
No. 9; .would you kindly put theta
in the box for No. 9 withotit coin,
ment. And oblige, yours regretfully,
Postman," Then there was the girl
conductor in a motor bus who, on
being ordered by an uppish young
lady to "Put inc down at No, 49,"
looked at her mildly and said: "This
is a bus, madam, not a taxicab."
Changed Their Plans,
Perry Robinson, telegraphing from
the British front in Frante, says:
"Evidence accumulates of the
expectation. of the Gentians of
attending the Winter in the ground
about Havrincourt. On. all sides are
signs of preparation for vinter rest -
arid beetles ordinary stores
we took an incredible quantity Of
those luxuries in the shape or wlnes
liquors, nillieral water, eigatettes,
etc., Of which the German officers
appear to have unlimited supplies.
"We also took large quantities Of
otter and parcel mail, undistributed,
among the latter being a great num.*
ber of cakes, fruit, cabbages and
other things dear to Germans, but
Which Germans have not eaten."

has now taken rank with the

most brilliant generals de.
veloped in the war. There
are no failures, no half achievements,
Allenbra record. He has. been in
the war from the very beginning, and
commanded the heroic cavalry in the
Old Contemptibles„ and perhaps to
his daring and, as it appeared, shs.
perate use of the cavalry as a screen
to cover the retreat from .11011E4, is
due more than to .any other cause
the fact that a remnant of the Stet
British expeditionary force to France
survived. Probably there is not
denby's equal living as a commander
of cavalry, and if for no other reason,
his genius in this respect suggested
him as a successor to Sir Archibald
Murray for a earapaign in which
mounted troops were obviously to
play so important a part.
Edmund Henry Allenby was born
57 years ago, and as a boy attended
the famous Halleybury school,
where, as at Rugby and Eton, the
tnaaters concerned th.enaselvem with
the boys' character and manners
quite as muclt as with their hooks,
and where a certain proficiency In
outdoor sports was considered as
necessary as a familiarity with the
dead languages. There is no record
that he especially distinguished bim-
self at school. His strongest interest
was in literature, which has clung
GEN. ',ALLENBY.
to him all his life, and perhaps has
contributed much to the development
of his character, whose most marked
quality impresses the observer as
gentleness. Those words that were
epplied to the beloved and lamented
Gen. Maude, nate gentlest conqueror
who ever topic a city," would equally
well deacribe Allenby,
As became a young aristocrat of
30 or 40 years ago, he entered the
army with a commissien in the
Inniskiiling Dragoons, and was said
at the time to have- looked the part
of a dashing cavalryman as well as
one of ()ulna's heroes. At the age of
28 he had his first introduction to
warfare, for lie served in the
Bechuanaland expedition, and four
years later in 1884 was through the
Zulu campaign, becoming adjutant.
He had already attracted the atten-
tion of his Superiors by his courage •
and a sagacity that seemed. to have
something of the quality of instinct.
He next served through the South
African war, and waspitted against
no less formidable an antagonist
than Gen. Delarey. For his work
there he was twice mentioned in
despatches, and was decorated by
the British Government. All this ex-
perience, of course, was child's play
compared with the tremendous task
that was thrust upon his shoulders
when the present war broke out and
he was placed in Command of the
cavalry division of the British force.
But Allenby never lost his head for
a montent itt the most desperate en-
counters, and though he exposed him-
self to death a hundred times in the
course of the retreat from. Mons, he
escaped without a scratch.
He commanded the right wing of
the 13ritish forces in the battle of
Arras in 1917, and was credited with
one of the most successful offensives
undertaken by the Allies up to that
time, When he went to Palestine he
Was subjected to much uninformed
eritleism because of his obstinate re-
fusal to move his army against the
Turks, He was of the Kitcherter
school, and declined to go forward
until he had at his command all the
meti and war material that he saw
was necessary for his task. The fact
that his inactivity was giviteg the
German -led Turks more time in
Which to prepare for his advance did
not trouble Allenby. So he waited
Imperturbably until his great organ-
isation. was complete to the least
detail, and then the next moment
launched his blow.
Few events of the war have thrill-
ed Christian people more than the
capture of Jerusalem by Allenby's
army, and by the manner of entry
to the city by the commander and his
officers. Instead of entering on horse-
baek with military pomp they went
on foot as pilgrims might approach
a shrine. On a par with his mili-
tary triumph was his capture of the
hearts of the Moslem population
about him. He leaned a proclama-
tion assuring them that they had
nothing to fear, but might go about
their ordinary business in safety.
