Referring' to these operations,. Sir Douglas IIaig's report reads:._ 'Faking advantage of the fine weather the flying corps continued its bombing operations against points of military importance with 'successful results. The hostile aircraft were in- active until evening, when there was a good deal of fighting behind the WOUNDED' SOLDIERS schema dfuvocationa'l training uentil' a scale of maintenance could be arrang- ed for the men undergoing the train- ing and for their dependents. The Commission has therefore prepared a scale under which a. small ruin for personal expenses will be granted to the men undergoing training, while provision on a sliding scale is made for married men add their depend- ents, and for those unmarried men who may have persons lgally depend- ent upon them, Here is the scale which the Commis- sion has now been empowered to es- tablish. It will be understood throughout that "maximum age" means 16 for a son and 17 for a daughter: - 1. A single man, with pension, liv. log in, receives free maintenance; that is, board, lodging and washing. 2. A single man, with pension, liv- ing 'out, -60c a clay. 8.

The Military Hospitals and Con- valescent Homes Commission, with Sir Tames Lougheed at its head, has already given a great deal of consider- ation to re-education for men who need it, and has taken steps to 9 gan- ize the training required in many parts of the country. Th ccmplete es- tablishment of the system may be ex- pected very soon; for the Government, by Order -in -Council, has just adopted a report of the Military Hospitals Commission, of which we are enabled to give this summary: - The report begins by explaining that the Commission aims at benefiting not only disabled members of the Cana- dian Expeditionary Force but also dis- abled Reservists of the British and Al- lied armies who were bona fide resi- dents of Canada when the war broke Ott. The Commission has received the assurance, it tells us, of the active co- operation of the Provinces anti vari- ous Municipalities in carrying out such a policy. Technical Schools, Agricultural Colleges and other public institutions have agreed to receive disabled Men for training and many offers have also been received from private commercial establishments to provide training and subsequent em- ployment when the men have become proficient. The period of training for a new vo- cation will vary according to the pre- vious education and industrial his- tory of each individual. The cost of tuition will vary in consequence, and also owing to the fact that in many cases the tuition will be free or the fees nominal. (The training will be free to the men in all cases. If there. is any charge, it will be paid by the Donlinioe Government.) - A Scale Prepared. The- Commission has already under- taken the provision of training in gen- eral subjects and elementary voca- tional work for all men under treat- ment in the various hospitals and con- valescent homes operated by the Coln - mission, irrespective of whether or not such men will later be subjects for vocational training leading to new oc- cupations. In a few cases, arrange- ments have also been made for that special training.

For wife and two children, from $41 to $47 a month. (less pension and allowances) according to age of chil- dren.' i For wife and three children, -$44 to $50 (less pension and allowances), according to ages. For wife and four children, -$47 to $53 (less pension and allowances), ac - cot -cling to ages. For wife and five children, --$50 to $55 (less pension and allowances) ac - cot -cling to ages. For wife and six children, --$53 to $55 (less pension and allowances), ac- cording to ages. A wife with seven or more children under the maximum age may be given the maximum allowance of $55, less pension anti allowances. All these allowances for wife and children will be paid direct to the wife, unless otherwise thought fit by the commission. 4. A married man living at home will receive 60c a day. (This of course is in addition to the allowances for wife and children.) The Widowed Mother. 5. A widowed mother, if dependent entirely upon the unmarried son who is receiving training, and if the son macre an assignment of his pay to his mother and also arranged for her to receive separation allowance while he was on active service, may be paid at the same rate as the wife of a mar- ried man with no children. 6, The parents of a man undergo- ing training, if both are old and past work, and entirely or partially de- pendent upon him, may also be paid at that rate. 7. The guardian of a widower's children (under the maximum age) will be paid monthly: -for one child, $10; for two, $17.50; for three, $22; and $8 for each child in excess of three, with a maximum of $35. Payments under these regulations will be continued for one month after the completion of vocational training, whether the man has secured employ- ment or not. It is clear that this system of al- lowances will enable many men to take advantage of the training offered, by providing for their families while the training is,being given. The President of -the Military Dos- pital.d Commission asks us to say that any .further inforins:lion desired by our readers will be gladly given on application to the Secretary, at 22 Vittoria Street, Ottawa. , HUNS ARE GLUTTONS. Eat Far More Than Other People, When Possible. Though the Mutts are beginning to complain that they' are being starved, yet whatis starvation -to them is plenty to most nations, says London Answers. 'Before the war the Germans, both men and women, were the biggest eat- ers of any one the Continent. The average German begins with coffee and milk between seven and eight in the morning. About ten there is a meat breakfast, atone o'clock a really heavy meal, as a role about twice as much as an English lunch, with beer or wine, or both. At tea, cakes, eho- cols.tes and marzipaus are invariably eaten. At 8 pan. comes supper, almost as heavy as the midday dinner, and con- sisting of cold ham, mutton, beef or veal with wine. Knows by Experience. Rankin -"Have you ever stopped to consider how the other:half lives?" Phyle-"I don't have to." "Why net?" "Because half of the time I live that way myself."' A man is' none the less skilful be- cause he is modest about his ability. • England's Women War Workers -This One Is an Engineer THE RE -BIRTH OF RUSSIA, 13y Chas. K. Bice, Denver, Colo. Nothing that has taken place dur- ing this devastating war is so grandly significant as the almost miraculous manner in which the great Russian Empire has recuperated after its first defeat at the hands of the Central powers. Germany, and not without reason in the ordinary course of events, had proudly proclaimed that the huge over -grown bear of the North had been rendered helpless and harmless by her Krupp guns and bayonets. To one unfamiliar with the real Russian spirit, this prediction would be but the announcement of a fore- gone conclusion, for it was based upon the admitted fact of Russia's unpre- paredness at the beginning of the tear, and her apparent inability to as- semble the necessary machinery with which to manufacture arms and am- munition to supply her vast numeri- cal force. But despite all adverse cirelicn- stances, and while much of her strate- gical territory was in the hands of the enemy, Russia has surprised the world, not only in "coming back," but in the superior courage and valor of her soldiery, and is now sweeping the foe before her as chaff in the wind. There must be some adequate cause for this wonderful rehabilitation, that does not show itself on the surface. We must go deeper clown into Russian life to find the reason for this new life and spirit that has challenged the admiration of the world. When the war began, Russia was cursed with a Bureaucracy the most vile, corrupt and inefficient, that ever disgraced humanity, while her people were ignorant, degraded, -indolent, drunken and impoverished to a degree hitherto unknown in any even half - civilized nation on the earth. The first grand step towards emancipation was the abolishment of intemperance, -the vodka had to go, and that quickly by imperial decree which was soon forthcoming. With this prolific source of poverty- removed a wonderful change came, for even bureaucracy could not be longer tolbr- ated by the quickening spirit of the new democracy. It, too, had to go, and many of the pampered recipients of its unholy favors lost their lives. Even the severe Autocracy of the Czar was resented for ;it was inimical to the liberty of the new patriotic spirit. The Duma gradually gained ground over despotic imperialism, un- til the rights of the oppressed people wee e'respected, The astounding results of it all are eloquently toll in a recent article by the Secretary of the Russian -Ameri- can -Asiatic Corporation, Ivan Narod- ney, from which we glean a few facts: The Co-operative bank, anti the Co- operative store are the two institu- tions, that chiefly reflect this Wander ful change that followed the abolition of vodka in Russia. Some 18,000 of these banks, and over 14,000 stores have been created, since vodka was prohibited. The peo- ple have become sober, industrious and saving, while the general increase in intelligence, and the purer moral tone of the people that resulted is simply astonishing. Mutuality of economic interest has led to political demand., and the lop- ping off of unjust discriminations and other autocratic impediments, until the people have become measurably free, ancYaro able to realise their true man- hood. The government has largely adjust- ed itself to these new forces and con ditions that are constantlyincubating within the empire. Vodka was ever the ally of oppres- sion, for it had.. kept the people sod- den, poor and easily amenable to au- thority, however cruel and severe. But the first step to political freedom if an emancipated nhind. Mr. Narotiney says that beside these banks and stores, 116 peasant com- mercial infltitutlons have placed or- ders in New York • for printing presses, types and' other accessories. That pablication centres are lie be establishod, crude doubtless they will be at first, but wonderfully meaning- ful as evidences of the awakening of community consciousness in a renais- sance of expression. The printing press will do more to end autocracy in Russia than all the Nihilist bombs ever made to blow Czars skyward: The 20th century may have no stranger story to tell than the rebirth of the Slav, HOW TO BE WEATHER WISE. Nature Supplies Signs by Which Con- ditions May be Foretold. If you want fine weather, look for fine -weather signs, says A. D. Beard, in St. Nicholas. Here are some of the most reliable, for they are based upon scientific facts: When the sunset sky is red, you may expect clear weather on the following day. At night, when the moon is clear and shows clean edges, with no halo or ring of mist surrounding it, there is little danger of rain. When the wind blows steadily from the west the weather will continue. fair. Watch the smoke from a chimney or from your campfire -it is a good barometre. If the smoke rises high it means clear weather. A gray early morning, not a heavy, cloudy one, promises a fair day. A heavy dew at night is seldom followed by rain the next day. Think of it this way and you will remember: wet feet, dry head. • Animals are said often to show by their actions what the weather will be, and there is reason in this. Some of them certainly have a knowledge of coming storms. We are told that spiders are especially sensitive to weather changes, and when they make new webs the weather will be fair; if they continue spinning during a shower, it will soon clear off. In the Opposite Direction. Sir Douglas, Haig has a keen sense of humor met a gift of repartee. A big, blustering sergeant was cursing two men for being careless with am- munition, and shouted. "You'll send us all up to Heaven like a rocket." Sir Douglas chipped in, "Unless you improve your language, Sergeant, I'm afraid yon, may go in an opposite direction," If you suspect a man don't employ him; if you employ him don't suspect him -Chinese Proverb.

A despatch from Paris says: Con- trary to expectations, the Germans have made no attempt to follow up the smashing blow delivered against the northern. Verdin defences a week ago; The French counter-attacks, ac: cording to the official accounts, are gradually winning back the ground gained by the Germans at heavy cost in the vicinity of Thiauinorit and Fleury. This inactivity on the part of the Crown 'Prince is interpreted by French military opinion as evidence that the Germans,are finding increas- ing difficulty in concentrating troops at any one point on the front, The French officers say that each fresh as- sault on Verdun is requiring longer and larger time to prepare. They claim that the Germans took noless than 18 days' in preparation for the attack of July 12. • SHORTAGE OF FOOD IN GERMAN TOWNS. A despatch from Amsterdam says: The. Berliner Tageblatt says that at a recent conference at Darmstadt with regard to the food 'situation, Adolph T. von Batocki, president of the Ger- man food regulation board, frankly admitted that there was a shortage of foodstuffs, especially in towns which it was impossible to overcome and that he did not believe the present supply of potatoes would permit of the rais- ing of the maximum allowance from 1% to 2 pounds per week per head, as had been proposed. HUGE GERMAN LOSS { IN DEFENCE OF HOVEL. A despatch from London says: The London Times publishes the following from its correspondent on the Hovel front, dated July 13: "According to prisoners the enemy's losses, includ- ing prisoners, during the last ten days, have been extremely heavy. I estimated them at between 75,000 and 100,000 this week, probably it would be no exaggeration." PRUSSIAN CASUALTIES APPROXIMATE 3,000,000. A despatch from London says: The Prussian casualties up to the present are 2,801,521, according to the Daily Telegraph, which claims these figures are official. STEAMERS RELEASED FOR ATLANTIC TRADE. Northland, Southland and Canada Back Into Service. A despatch from Montreal says: The British Admiralty has released three of the White Star -Dominion Line steamers which were formerly in the Canadian trade -the Northland, Southland and Canada -which have been engaged in the Government ser- vice between Great Britain and the Mediterranean. News o;f the release of the three ships was received here on -Friday, Famine Rages in Smyrna Vilayet. A despatch from Mitylene, Greece, says: Refugees from Asia Minor re- port that famine•is ravaging the en- tire vilayet of Smyrna. The condition of the civilians is said to be most pitiable. Marriage is a failure for a leap year girl who proposed in vain. RUSSIANS MAKE BIG SIMS '9 IN DIRECTION OF ER .ZINC AN Capture of Guzuskaneh From Turks Means an Advance by the Grand Duke's Troops ofForty Miles in Five Days. A despatch from London says: Guzuskaneh has fallen before the ad- vancing right wing of the Russian army .of the Caucasus, Petrograd an- nounced' officially on Friday. The place lies 45 miles south-west of Tre- bizond, the Block Sea port; The town has about 3,000 inhabitants, and is built on both sides of a ravine. It is noted for its fruit production, The capture of Guzuskanzh indicates that the Russians are pressing forward rapidly toward their objective at Ed - slogan. Since the capture of Baiburt on July 10 the Czar's troops have ad - a yenned to Guzuskaneh, a distance of nearly 40 miles. Further successes in the Caucasus ore reported in the official statement from Petrograd, which follows: "In the region of Djwizlyk we made further progress, taking prisoner an officer and 60 Turks. Between Trebi- seneh and Erzingan, after a fight, We took the town of Guzuskaneh. In the region north -]vest of the town of Kiel- kitscheytli we macre prisoner 30 Turk- ish officers and 400 men, and captur- ed important convoys. We repulsed an enemy offensive in the region east of Rivandouza (region of Mosul)." -if you feeI bilious, "headachy" and irritable - for that's a sign your liver is out of order.
