DEPT. ` 4i, TOROI`v'T0 TAKING STOCK ,r, A British Tommy Sunts Up What He Learned in the Arany. On the contra side there is a career broken short, and consequent mone- tary loos and 'future uncertainty. Again, to be cut off' from several years of one's primo from Society and the Paradise of Oivilization is no slight misfortune. he Army tenden- cy to idle, and sometimes to shirk, has ° been implanted in true. I swear freely, and am tarr> ' . t(✓ith animal'usm. On the c ^':t side, heattlh has been improved by the outdoor life. My job was despatch -rider, R.E. A B.E.F. motor cyclist must under- stand army orr.nizaticn, how the signal service is run, and something of the instruments used. Mechanical resourcefulness hese been drilled into him by a harsh tutor—michanee— and, no matter how bad the roads and weather, ho has become the -complete and fearless traveller. He Ihae to cuati- vate a detective's astuteness in 'un- ravelling mysteries and tracking lost units; Ito is handy with a revolver, and a wizard with maps. Armed with , pliers, a Primus stove, petrol, and the doctaine of "Scrooge," he can feed and house 'himself anywhere. These assets are mine. I have shouldered the respnnailai- ties of a section N.C.O., and gained er.' perience of thousands of men when . `7nipoeisi>ig as their trainer on a service. ',have met tyles finer llhan novel heroes, and scoundrels worse than stage villains. 'The com- racle's anade by. a soldier are a proud acquisition. Agreeable exercise in French has been provided ,gratis, and one may expect some good practice in German. Habits and ideas have changed. Diffidence was soon exchanged for self-reliance; conceits and fads have been knocked out of me 'by remorse- less "leg -paling." Once prejudiced against strong liquor, I now drink moderately, be- cause soldiering has shown me that sociability, induced , by drinking to- gether, often cures selfislntess. I know t71at the gunner and .infantry- man have been crucified do 'battle for others' sake; therefore, I resent any ,code that lectures them:instead of try- ing to -cure their lot. I awn not so con- vinced a democrat, for I see in the Army that the illiterate of the rank and file subsequently abuse power placed in their hands, Corresponding- ly, I view more reasonably the system of caste that rules the Army, and largely our country, since eny khaki years have taught sne that our aeistocratie governorsaare more mag- nanhnous than the governed, similar- ly placed, would be. Manures, fertilizers, and crap rota- tion will net compensate for a 'lack of j unvd'erdlradn'age of the sail; in feet, they only add to the real expense of growing crops 'without recompense.

An Heroic German. Dyed Sheets for Dresses. Wonderful dyes were to be o tained easily in Brussels and durin the past summer Belgian ladies dye their sheets according to fancy i wore them. Last winter their spa blankets were transformed int s` i coats. For a while the Belgians wer e, hoaxed into wearing their own pati a otic emblems which had been ratan Y factured by the Hun and put on sal — I in Brussels. But as soon as the ho. Ot , was discovered Belgians refused t ° avail themselves of the privilege buying German -made goods. A fib and steel for lighting the gas, a though clever, was unsaleable, th b - d rad re 0 e i- tt- e hoe 0 Y-I Farther up, amongst the ruins o Wyschaete itself, are some elaborat crosses on which the names of Britis soldiers appear,, surrounded by other crosses, bearing German names. Thi marks the position reached by a tid of British advance tyhch was at the time thrown back. Amongst wha was known to soldiers as the "Cats combs" of Wyschaete village, a singl cross bears the inscription its Englsh "Here lies an heroic German." Fre quently the word "brave" appears of t'-ese crosses, as a trbute by eithe German or British to a fallen foe but one wonders what deed inspire the use of the word "heroic." Ove towards Lake Zillebeke, in a littl graveyard in a quadrangle of muti lated trees, one cross bears the Ger man inscription—"A Brave Britisl Stretcher -Bearer!" And a broke stretcher lies eloquently across th grave. • At a place called Preston Dump which, slightly north of Messines, wa stem a German dump, and aftotward was made an egineering dump by the 'British, -there were two graves to gether—one that of a German, the other that. of a Britisher. Weather of a shell explosion had knocked the erom rosspioce ftthe German cross One of the noon of our party insisted on finding it and hammering it back into place. "Poor beggar!" he said, "I suppose he thought he was doing his duty, same as I do." Those two crosses in the angle between n road and the lines of a light raiiwa•r lean towards one another, as if in a epi_'it of reconciliation. A Child's Grave. A child's grave near Morville, in- scribed with a child's prayer in Ger- man rhyme, speaks of a Hun less Tlunnish than those who compassed the little one's death. Now that the war is over, and the districts where the severest fight'ng took place are freed, the work teat remains' to be done is beteg com- pleted; and now, also, the pe•,ple who have lost relatives in the war are making eager enquiries to know where those they love are sleeping. An cp- portunity will surely be- offered for those who desire it to make pilgrim- ages to the places where these loved ones are buried. reason being that it was made by the hHuns. Brass water taps were taken by the enemy and for these they paid s • two francs fifty, charging six francs efor taps to replace the requisitioned ones. The new ones were, of course, "made in Germany." Door handles and bell pulls were seized in the sante way but were not replaced by house - owners. It became "all the style" to hang a piece of firewood to the bell wire. Loot Sent to Germany. Houses wero constantly searched for everything that could be used in manufacturing ammunition, choice furniture was seized as well as ele- gant or luxurious clothing—all sent to Germany as loot. During this time there was no communication with the outside world'' -only such letters and news as the Hun chose to allow. It is scarcely conceivable that France and Belgium are even now filled with war's victims who are hearing for the first time of what has been happen- ing outside their own little environ- ment during the awful five years just closed. The low waistline is featured in this frock of youthful anal graceful lines. McCall Pattern No. 8742, Misses' Dress. In 8 sizes, 16 to 20 years. Price, 25 cents. Transfer Design No. 928.

Right in front of Buelcingham Pal- ace stands the Victoria Memorial, which commands a view of the whole length of .the Processional Way which lie called The Mall. Access to the central monument is gained by flights of stone steps, and those lead' to a spacious platform sur- rounded by a low Wall.

Referring to a report received from Paris by way of New York, that a plan for assuring freedom of the seas includes the restricted use of abolition of the su'bm'arine, the London Daily Telegraph says: "The submarine campaign was aimed at this country, and we suf- fered worse than all the other tia- t`ons-combined, There is danger that that fact may be overlooked. Be- sicles ships, we lost cargoes valued at hundreds of millions of pounds sterling, while 15,000 British men, women and children were assassin- ated at sea. "As we made no special reilresen 'cations en this subject, 'there has been a tendency to suggest that we emerged from bMs piracy rather well off. Let et be remarked once more that 90,000,000 tone of our shipping lie at the bottom of the sea. We are more interested than any com- munity in the proposal foe the aboli- tion of the submarine. It would ►fe misleading to claim that naval opinion is unanimous in this matter, but a large body of naval opinion, and even a larger in'oportion of statesmen on both sides .the Atlantic favor the abolition of the U-boat," P—o—�—o—o—o---o—n—o—o—o--a-'-A f LISTEN TO THIS!

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL Question of Immigration and Pass- ports at Peace Congress.- From on'grests.From alt authoritative source a correspondent is informed that when the major' issues are decided at the Peace Conference it is Certain that the powers will' discuss the question of passport restrictions, along with the general subject of international travel, and especially the subject of imenigrstion. One of the arguments for the neces- sity 'of some forret of passport super- vision is that dangerous agitators would not travel as 'immigrants. it is now thought by the police in this and other allied countries that many international moles were killed dur- ing the. War, and that this class` of criminals, therefore, will not immedi- ately-give mmedi- ately ggive trouble as in former times. It is suggested that with war -time passports the surveillance is too cost- ly.and too embarrassing to legitimate travel and trade to be maintained .in its present form, and that some simpl- er methods may be evolved in the Conference between the nations at Paris. r Keep Your Health TO -NIGHT TRY Minard's Liii me t for that Cold and Tired Feeling Get Well, Keep •Well, Kill Spanish Flu by using the OLD RELIABLE.
