the Western Hebrides are in this re-
spect ranking highest in Scothoid. It
is said there are over 4,000 from these
islands at the front. Aignish, near
Stornoway, has thirty-two houses and
has sent twenty-seven men to the colors.
Bernera, in Uig, has sent almost its
last available man. From the village
of Breasclet, with thirteen houses,
eleven men have gone to the front.
Kirkibort has twenty-six houses, and
has contributed twenty-five men, while
Tobson is one better—from twenty -Ave
housesit has sent twenty-six men. The
village of Upper Slimier, Barves, with
fifty-five crofts, has fifty-eight men
with the colors, besides which there
were other five men who were sailing
in foreign parts when the forces were
mobilized, and it is not yet definitely
known whether they have joined the
colors or not. Then Crowlisca, Uig,
with four houses less than Aignish,
has sent two men more, viz., twenty-
nine men from twenty-eight houses.
At Aird Point, there is one croft from
which eight men have gone to the front,
Some interesting facts have come from
Breasclet. Here there are sixty-seven
houses but only forty-four crofts, and
the township has sixty-four men with
the colors. Six men were absent in
Canada, but some are reported to be on
their way home to join the fightingline.
The proportion of the population of
Breaselet with the colors is 18,2. The
population of the British Isles is forty-
five millions and if every district con-

WINTER TOURIST TRIPS
TO SOUTHERN STATES
are becoming more popular every year,
largely owing to the inereased trans-
portation facilities and modern luxuri-
ous equipment, making the journey to
California, Florida and other resorts a
pleasure instead of a hardship, With
one change of cars, you can travel from
almost any point on the main line of
the Grand Trunk Railway to your des-
tination in the Sunny South, where the
flowers bloom and warm balmy breezes
blow. Meals served in dining cars
make it unnecessary to leave the train
en route. Travel is an education, and
it is delightful to get away from the
every day grind, the monotonous or
etrermous life to mingle with succeas-
ful happy people and, besides, it pays.
Round trip tickets are issued by the
Grand Trunk Railway at exceptionally
low fares, giving choice of all the best
routes, via Chicago, Detroit or Buffed°.
