POISON GAS STILL DOES DEADLY WORK • Passengers in German Coaches Handed Over to France Suffer From Fumes. A despatch from Paris says: -Two trai1way coaches, recently, handed over to France by Gacmany, played a most important part in a puzzling •accident on the Paris -Metz railway Pine on Wednesday night in. which five per- sons lost their lives. Sixteen persons were injured. Train NO. 47, bound for Metz, had just entered the tunnel at Nanteuil when the passengers occtipy'ing the two coaches handed over by Germany began to experience trouble in. breathing and strong obnoxious gases began to fill up the eoaohes. The passengers smashed 'the win- dows, but as soon as fresh 'air came in contact with the gases the roaches became a mass of firs. The passen- gers, in terror, fled to the tracks in the dar9t tunnel. A. train going in tho yy_opposite direction crashed into 'them and five were killed. Of the 16 injured, all'of whom were treated at the hospital at Chateau Thierry, eight suffered only from the effects of asphyxiating gas. An ^official' statement given out by the railroad company says: "The fire in the coaches was not due to any defect in the lighting or heating ap- paintus, nor to a hot -box, The pres- ence of the obnoxious ,gases is still unexplained. Both coaches were con- sumed by the flames."

In German East Africa the Ger- mans made use of their empty beer bottles by cutting them in two and rasing the tops for electric wire insu- lation, while they sold the bottoms to the natives for drinking glasses. The German beer drinkers patriotic- ally kept up the supply. Lieutenant Pierre Daye, of the Bel- gian army, told about it the other day. Lieutenant Days was on one of the Belgian expeditionary forces which penetrated into German East Afilca and was at tate capture of the capital, Tabora. "We marchacl 1,200 miles, a journey 01 lifteeri months, 'through jungle and what not;" he said. "We crossed and recrossed the trail of the early explor-' ors, and we came upon the stenos marking the spot where Livingstone met Stanley on the noted rescue ex- pedition. It was jungle then. Now it re on a. 'beautiful automobile highway,' and about the little tablet has sprung up a prosperous trading post, "You can fancy out surprise after; such a journey to be met by it terrible artillery fire out of Tabora. Shells of huge calibre burst aromtd us. We' could not figure It out. At last wed captured a, cannon of five inch cal'ilbre. It 'was one, of three of suet dimension the Germans had • et Tabora. They • had 'taken them Irani their raider, the IZo'enigsberg, and dragged them 900 miles into the country. "We learned that thirty oxen 'haul- ed each piece. It took us seven slays to 'take the town. "We forma how the Germans had •used beer bottles to Make insulators and drinking glasses for the motives, tend we found evidence that slave tree- � ing had been legalized by the German � authorities before and after the out- break of the war.

To most persons the spinning anti knitting of dog's wool seemed to be an outgrowth of this war. But it ap- pears that twenty years ago Princess Victoria had the combings of her pet brown spaniel spurn into yarn by the Sandringham Village Industry, and the Princess herself knitted the wool into a brown shawl for herself. It was at Sandringham also that the first Borzoi wool was spun, King ltd - ward making thesuggestion and clip- ping the firet sample from his famous Borzoi Alex for the test. Twenty years before that the hair of St. Bernards was 'knitted into mit- tens and snufflers and ten years earl. ier poodles' wool was spun and woven into cloth that is to -flay as good as when first made up, although tho cap has been worn ever since. A waist- coat knitted from the wool of skye terriers has been worn constantly for two winters and shows no sign of its service. Even the hair of Per- o sian cats has been spun into the ' loveliest wool by the British Dogs' Wool Association. The wire-haired Clogs have proven themselves real war workers, also; for their combings make ideal filling for pillows for • There is every prospect that the spinning of dogs' wool can and will be developed as a national handicraft since much of tine spinning can be done in country homes and no doubt in these same' places .there will de- velop some interesting work in weav- ing and knitting. One very important consideration is the fact that the yarn s practically indestructible and of de- lghtful texture, teras giving every en- couragement to careful designing of patterns in weaving. $1,200,000 LOANED MONTHLY BY BRITAIN TO ARAB RING A despatch"- from Paris says: - Great Britain Ioaneci 0220,000 'month- ly to the Hedjas Government to en - e'en It to take an active part in the war against the Turks, according to a ;letter from Abexandnia, published by the Temps.

CANADIAN VILLAGES TO HAVE SOUVENIRS Proposal to Distribute Captured War Trophies Throughout Dominion. - A"' de3Pa't011 from Ottawa Baas; -- Tho Commission on Canadian War Records end Trapiiies have, made a report to the Government which con- tained recommendations as to the col- lection and handling of trophies cap- tured by the Canadians during the war: "The trophies captured by Cana diens form a most interesting end practically an invaluable collection," nand General Cruikshank, "They include practically everything. from huge German guns of the /may - tag type to badges and records. Some of these trophies have already reach- ed Ottawa and are stored here, There will .be several shiploads in all, judg- ing from the information we have re- ceived so far." "What disposition will be made of them ?" "Sitliicient will be reserved to make an adequate and representative dis- play in the Imperial War Illuseam to be established in London. I should then say that of the articles brought to `Canada, it complete collection should be retained in the war museum to be established in Ottawa. It is not expoete4 that the trophies will be ex- hausted by the collections in Ottawa and London. On the contrary, there will be enough left to give practically every city, town and village in the country a war souvenirlo'.f some sort. Applications for these have already been received from hundreds of towns and the requests run the entire range. How these will be dealt with has not been decided, but it is understood the cm -emission will recommend that an advisory committee with ono member from each province shall be appointed to pass upon the applications, and the provincial representative's recommen- dation will be taken as to the distri- bution of the trophies." CANADA ASKS FOR COMPENSATION Over $16,000,000 Are -Claimed Against Enemy For Illegal Warfare. A desp.atalt from Ottawa says: - Canadian claves for compensation for losses deo to illegal methods of wanton employed by the en- emy during the war are meet- ing upwards. Already a state- ment of such claims totalling 816,- ( 000,000 has been :for'warded to Faris Inc conaidera.tion with sim,nex demands for repara- tion by the Peace Conference. Additional statements of claims are daily being received by the Enemy Debts Committee here. The Enemy Debts Committee is pre- paring five different lists of claims by and against Canadians. First, is the list of olaims arising out of illegal methods of warfare; secondly, claims by Canaellans for debts owed by cor- porations and persons of enemy na- tionality, and by Canadian holders of shares in companies in enemy coun- tries; third, claims by Canadian hold- ers of Russian securities and owners of property in Russia and by Cana- dians having accounts against Rus- sians; fourth, claims for damages arising out of the allies' black list of persons and firms with whom trade was prohibited, and fifth, claims by persons and firms in enemy countries against Canadians and by enemy alien holders of shares in Canadian cor- porations. In connection with the listing of alien holders of Canadian stocks, it is said that persons of enemy nationality hold shares of the Canadian Pacific Railway of a par value of $14,500,000 upon which some $7,000,000 of divi- dends have accrued during the period of the war.

Eventually that little hallowed spot will be enclosed with maple trees, so that the national emblem of Canada will stance as monuments to the hon- ored dead. ALLIANCES TO REMAIN AFTER thin LEAGUE A despatch from Paris says: -Al- liances between the various nations will not be affected by the existence• of the Society of Nations, now in process of formation, it was declared by Arthur J. Balfour to newspaper interviewers hero. The British For- eign Secretary was asked the direct equestion as to whether the formation of the world society would involve the abolition of alliances. "The constitution' of the League of Nations," responded the Foreign Sec- retary, "will involve no modification of the treaties of alliance previously conclsicled. "As to the queston whether special coalitions of two or severnl peoples could be formed aside from the lea- gue," Mr. Balfour added, "the confer•, cues alone ma decide." A MAN OF PRAYER General Foch Finds Time for Devo- tion Amid Stress of War. A California boy -Evans by name --with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, has recently written a Totter to his parents in San Bern- ardino, in whish he tells of sleeting General Foch at close range in France. Evans had gone into all old church to have a look at it, and as he stood there with bared head satisfying hie respectful curiosity, a grey mall, with the eagles of a general on the cellar of his shabby engrain, also entered the church, Only one orderly accompanied the quiet, grey man No glittering staff of officers, no entourage of gold laced aides were with him; nobody but just the orderly. Evans paid small attention at fust to the grey man, but was cariouat to see him kneel ,in the church, praying. The minutes passed until full three. quarters of an hour had gone by be- fote the grey man arose from his k.�ees. Then Evans followed him down the street, and was surprised to see sol. diers salute this man in great excite- ment, mid. women and children stop- ping in their tracks with awestruck faces as he passed. It was Foch. And now Evans, of San Bernardino, counts the experience as the greatest in his Iife. During the three-quarters of an hour that the generalissimo of all 'the Allied ,armies was on his knees 4n humble supplication in that quiet elumeh, ten thousand guns were roar- ing at his word on a' hundred hills that rocked with death. Millions of armed men eroudhed in trenches or rushed across blooct- dronched earth at his command; gen- erals and field marshals, artillery, cavalry, engineers, tanks, fought and wrought across the snap of Europe ab- solutely as he commanded them to do, and in no other manner, as he went into that little churdh .to pray. Nor was it an unusual thing for General Foch to do. Thera is no day that he clods not do the sane thing if there be a church that he can reach. He never fails to spend an hour on his knees every morning that he awakes from sleep, and every night it is the same. Moreover, it le not a new thing with him, He has done it his whole life. The Same Willie. The Echo de Paris publishes a tole - gram from Amsterdam on the sub- ject of the Crown Prince's sojourn at Wieringen. This is the picture given of the one-time hope of the Hlohen- zollerns: "The population reproach him for his stinginess in the cafes of the island, where he is trying to calm his nervousness, The Crown Prince is continually playing billiards with the landlord of the cafe and his pot- n1Rt1, Ito is a peer player, and bears defeat badly, while he sometimes cheats in the sears."
