IS NOT ROSY ONE HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE ENGLAND. His Views Have Got Hint Into Dis- favor With the British Government. The path of those who oppose con- scription in.Great Britain just now is not one that is strewn with roses, as the Hon. Bertrand Russell, only bro- ther and heir -presumptive of Earl Russell, has lately been finding out. Some three months ago this aristro- erotic pacifist was fined $500 • and costs, with the alternative of sixty- one,days' imprisonment, in respect of a leaflet written by him in defence of those who object to serve in the Brit- ish army. He is a prominent member of the so-called "No -conscription" Fel- lowship -a body which includes a number of well-lcnown "cranks." Sev- eral members of Parliament belong to it, including Messrs. C. P. Trevel- yam Arthur Ponsonby, Philip Snow- den, and Ramsay Macdonald. Natur- ally its tenets are not looked on with favor by a Government which has its hands full in enforcing conscription. Mr. Russell has written a book call- ed "Justice in War Time," in which he advocates an early peace without any serious weakening to any of the great powers involved, and the for- mation for the future of a central world government, "able and willing to secure obedience by force." In the course of this volume he admits that "no doubt atrocities have occurred on both sides," but seeks to discredit the authenticity of some of the cases mentioned in the report of Lord Bryce. Such views are not very ac- ceptable to the Government, nor are they very popular in circles other than Governmental. Making a Martyr. In fact, they are almost making a martyr of Mr. Russell.

He has been appointed to a professorship at Harvard University, but is not al- lowed to leave England to enter oh his, prefesSional duties, the authorities appareptly not desiring that his pecu- liar views .both on wee and peace should in .dhsseminated, in a neutral coentry by an Englishman. • On the first of this. month he was served with the following notice: PL, Limit -Col. the Hon. A. F. V. Russell, being a competent military .authority under the Defencd of the Realm Regulations, do hereby order that the Hon. Bertrand Russell shall not, except with permission, hi writing from me, or from some other com- petent navel or military' authority, reside in any area specified as a pro- hibited area by virtue of, any order now or hereafter made under the Aliens' Restriction Act, 1614." About this notice there is certainly something dramatic. For the orderer and the ordered --Col. A. F. V. Rus - Hon. Bertrana .4. 11USS,27.1. sell and Mr. Bertrand Russell- hap- pen to be cousins. Both are der,cend- , ed from the sixth Duke of Bedford. Mr. 13. Russell is the grandson of the great statesman, Earl Russell, better Imown as Lord John Russell, who was twice Prime Minister. His Monitor Cousin. But his cousin, Col. A. F. V. Rus- sell, who has been chosen, by virtue of his office, officially to admonish him, is a brother of the present and son of the late Lord Ampthill, the latter of whom, as Lord Odo Russell, was the first British Ambassador to the Ger- man Empire. It was while he was Ambassador that the Treaty of Berlin was signed. And an amusing story is told illustrative of his tact. Disraeli himself, then Premier, represented Great Beitain at Berlin. And he pro- posed to address the Congress in French -and his French was notori- ously bad. There was much constern- ation among those who wished well to the British. But Loyd Odo Russell was equal to the occasion. He went to the British Premier, and pointed out that the Congress would feel hurt if "the" address was not delivered in English "by the greatest living mas- ter of English." So Disraeli spoke in English. But probably he was not taken in as to the reason. Did the man ever live who could "take in" "Dizzy"? • DEADLY DUST. It Is Most Dangerous to Breath Dust - Laden Air. The worlcman has no more deadly foe than dust. Not only are there tiny articles floating in the air, which carry- germs of deadly disease which Ile may breathe or become infected with through a cut or scratch, but • others that will inflict harm on his tissues. Just now, when so many thousands of men are turning their hands to the making of munitions, it is timely to warn them against inhaling the fly- ing, minute splinters and dust that are aused by a lathe or file working on metal, says the London Answers. If a tiny particle of steel be ex- amined under a Iniseroseope it will be found to be jagged and sharp as a needle, and when breathed into the lungs in great numbers it sets op all kinds of pulmonary troubles. The workman used to his conditions takes care not to breathe more of this dust than he can help, but the unaccustom- ed man May lean over his work, or, laboring in a dusty atmosphere, the unusual exertion may cause him to inhale deeply through his mouth. All of us avoid nasty senile, but it is often fah more dangerous to breathe dust -laden air which is not so percept. fide. A Slight Matter. "I don't see you at Miss Golder's receptions any more, old man." "No; she and I had a little differ- ence of opinion." "Nothing serious, I hope." "Oh, no; only I thought I was the man she ought to marry, and she thought I wasn't." Only a good neighbor can appre- ciate good neighbors, President of the United States Would Feel Deeply Mortified if They Marked Their Ballots in His Favor. A despatch from New York says: Stung to anger by an avalanche of in- sulting and insistent communications demanding that the Government take certain notion favorable to Germany, President Wilson, through the me- dium of a telegram addressed to Jere- iniah A. O'Leary, president of the so- called American Truth Society, an or- ganization formed for the purpose of aiding the German propaganda, on Friday served notice on the hyphen- ates that he wants no ''disloyal" Am- erican to vote for him. The Presi- dent's message, which was in reply to a telegram from 'Leary, accusing him of being pro -British, was sent from Long Branch, N.J. and reads; "Your telegram received. I would feel deeply 'mortified to have you or anybody like you vote for Inc. Since you have access to many disloyal Am- ericans and I have not, I will ask you to convey this Message to them." WIVES OF OUR, COMMANDERS NOTABLE 'WOMEN WHO WORK ' WHILE THEY WAIT. Since the Outbreak of Hostilities They Have Done it Great Deal • of Utieful Work. Fierce as the light which beats upon a throne is that now focussed upon the military and naval com- manders of , the Allies. But their wives are so much in the' shadow that we seldom see or. hear of them, not- withstanding that some of these ladies have done a good deal of use- ful public work since the outbreak of hostilities, says London Answers. Madame Joffre leads so retired a life that a French lady who recently delivered a lecture on General Joffre confessed that she did_not know the , maiden name of that national hero's wife. She is, however, the ruling : spirit of the French commander's! home at Auteuil, and is always bright and cheerful, despite her husband's long spells of absence. Madame Jaffee. At the beginning of the war Joffre prohibited wives and sweethearts from visiting men on active service, adding, in his customary terse, vigor- I ous fashion: "Women have nothing to do with I the Army. -I fear them as much as I fear intoxicating liquor." And, as an indication of his inflexi- bility of purpose, he imposed a similar I restriction on himself. For five months at a stretch Madame Joffre ; never saw him, and since then she has' obtained only glimpses of him on his I flying visits to Paris. Lady Smith-Dorrien devotes a good deal of time and energy to "mother- ing" the British Army. Always a very active worker in connection with the Soldiers' anct Sailors' Families Association, she toolc charge in the early days of the war of the huge task of finding homes for the wives and children of the Regulars turned out of barracks to make room for t'he men who flocked to the Flag. Lady Beatty's Yacht. In much the same direction excel- lent work is being done by Lady Max- well. Though she has many hobbies, and loves riding, she takes an active I part in caring for the sick and wound- ed, thus continuing the mission she undeilook in South Africa. When her husband was appointed Governor of Pretoria his wife joined him in that town, and, at a time when there was no other offieer's wife within. a radius of many miles, threw herself into the task of caring for men sent to hospital. , Lady Beatty usually gives full rein to her passion for yachting, and used often to follow her husbend's ship forfonwiaprlascheetioloptlacoen.lyAtegtohieppouedtbr ehaelic. GERMAN SOMME COMMANDER GOVERNESS ON CROWN PRINCE. MadWays of .Kaiser's Heir Told In New Book. Whoever is interested in knowing about such things as the Prussian Crown Prince's special form of night- mare, which is a dream about white mice, will find plenty of entertain- ment in a new book, "In the Eyrie of the Hohenzollern Eagle." From October, 1910, until a short time before the outbreak of war, Miss Brimble was governess to the children of the Crown Prince and Princess, Miss Brimble, like other chronicles's, cannot make an engaging personality of the "High Papa," the Crown Prince himself. His wild lack of consideration for others is illustrated by some of the stories of his romps with his children. "The final act," it is recorded, "usu- ally consisted in the Crown Prince seizing one of the bedroom jugs from the washstand and emptying its con- tents over Prince Lulu in bed. As soon as he had made his son and the bed thoroughly wet and miserable, out he would go with hie dogs, with a guffaw of amesement," "High Papa's" calls were not wel- comed at meal times. "We stood politely while our lunch got colder and colder and the Crown Prince acted the 'buffoon, seizing a spoonful, of potato puree and smearing it all, over the boys' heads, or pouring as- I paragus sauce on their heair, laughing immoderately meanwhile. "Often he svould pour their cups of cocoa over them, or a glass of water down their backs, or rub the whipped cream from a sweet dish all over their faces, Prince Lulu being nearly always the victim on account of his getting so easily irate, though once Prince Wilhelm had to stand with open mouth while his father poured a ladleful of soup into it through a funnel which chanced to be in the room."

P TISHMENT FOR DESERTERS They May be Sent to Prison for Two Years -Stringent Or- der for Seamen,' Too. A .despatch from Ottawa says: Two orders in Council have been pro- mulgated stiffening the law with re- gard to dealing With deserters from the expeditionary forces ancl with re- gard to seamen who refuse to obey ordurs on shins requisitioned for his Majesty's service. In the case of soldiers who desert or are absent without leave it is pro- vided that they may besummarily tried by any Justice of the Peace, Police or Stipendiary Magistrate with- out regard to territorial jurdisdiction, and sentenced on conviction to impri- sonment for a term not exceeding two years. The production. of a service roll or attastation paper purporting to be signed by the accused, and a written statement from the Officer Commanding the military district showing that the accused was absent from his corps, shall be deemed a sufficient proof of desertion. In the case of ships of the mer- chant marine requisitioned for war service it is provided that any sea- man who neglects or refuses without reasonable cause to join his ship or proceed to sea or joins in a state of drunkenness, ;hall be liable to sum- mary conviction to imprisonment up to five years, I LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. Sir William II. ITutin, the Third Ro- man Catholic. • A despatch, from London says: -Sir William Henry Dunn was 011 Friday elected Lord Mayor of London. The new Lord Mayor, who will take office in November, will be the third Ro- man Catholic Lord Mayor of London in recent years. He was elosely as- sociated with Sir. William Treloar in the work of improving the condition of thousands of London's poor crip- ples, and is Treasurer of the Alton Cripples' Home. FINED $450 FOR SALE OF 2 BOTTLES OF WHISKEY A despatch froi-n London, Ont., says: -That the prohibition act is to be strictly enforced was brought home to. John McIntosh of 520 Ontario street very forcibly on Friday when he was fined $450 or three months in jail for selling two bottles of whiskey since September 10.

"I suppose, Will has left you," she sniffed. "Yes," sobbingly returned the young wife. "Then there's a woman in the case," her eyes lighting up expectantly. "Yes." More sobs. "Who is it?" demanded mother with authority, "You," came the tearful admission. "We? Goodness gracious!" ex- claimed mama -in-law. "I'm sure I never gave him any encouragement." --- How Japs Do Their Washing. The Japanese do their washing by getting into a boat and letting the garments to be washed drag after the boat by a long string. yacht, the Sheelah, as a floating hos- pital for our soldiers and sailors, but volunteered to go with it wherever it might be sent. Of late, however, she has spent Most of her time at her husband's home, Brooksby Hall, Leicestershire, and with the sorrowing women iii na- val towns. All one night a group of bluejackets' wives waited on the pier of a certain port, anxiously waiting for news from the Fleet, and among them was Lady Beatty, who comfort- ed them in their moments of greatest "Mothering" the Navy. The wife of another great com- mander, Lady Sturdee, cultivates the domesticities in an unpretentious house in the 'middle of Droxford, Hants, where she and her husband are very popular. It is characteeistic of the simplicity of both that when the victor of the Battle of Falkland Islands was called upon by the Ad- miralty to inflict that crushing blow ; upon Germany, and was offered a spe- cial train to Convey him to London, he elected to travel to town in an ordin- ary second-class carriage, Finally, Lady Jellicoe -whose sis- ter, it is interesting to note, is the wife of Admiral Madden -"mothers" the Navy in much the same way as Lady Smith-Dorrien "mothers" the Army. , One of the most gratifying inci- dents connected with her good work occurred after the disaster to the For- midable. A cutter containing sur- vivors from that ill-fated ship was floundering in the heavy Fleas, when -she began to sink in consequence of a hole battered in her side. Quick to see the danger, a bluejacket took a blanket given to him by Lady Jelli- coe, shafted it. into the hole, and stem- med the Thrush of water, with the re- sult that all in the boat were saved.

DECLINES TO MAKE PREDICTIONS Does Not Think, However, That a Decision Will be Forced by Allies During This Year. A despatch from Berlin says: The Berliner Tageblatt's special war cor- respondent interviewed Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, commander of the German forces' on the Somme, Tuesday. The Crown Prince is quot- ed as having said that since the offen sive began the Entente allies had gained some ground, but there could be no thought of this decisively changing the situation. "Itis impossible to . predict how things will go hereafter," said Prince Rupprecht. "But one thing is cer- taM, namely, that we have .everything so thoroughly prepared that we are able to contemplate the situation with equanimity, whatever comes. The of- fensive will certainly not reach an Iearly end. , "We can reckon upon an offensive of great persistence and with heavy attacks, accompanied by an CI101'111000 expenditure of ammunition. But we have taken precautions. Our artillery have been reinforced, and likewise our aeroplane corps and our fliers have had fine successes in the past few days, although they have had hard fighting against increased numbers. Our artillery derives advantages from the successful work of the aerophmes, after having formerly been much ex- posed to observation by hostile avia- tors. . Our troops have been striking with the utmost strength, and the enemy has found the nut too hard to crack. It is my distinct opinion that the en- emy is trying to force a decision at -this spot and during this year, and he has not yet succeeded. He will have to put up with a Winter campaign and continue bis fighting next year." KILLED ALL MACHINE-GUN CREW BEFORE HE WAS SHOT DOWN Fuller Details of Ile Heroic Death Of Lieut. Pringle, Son of the Canadian Chaplain. A despatch T1'01Tr London says: De- tails which have just reached London of the death in action of Lieut. Pringle, son of the Canadian chaplain, show that he made a heroic stand be- fore he fell a victim of a German bul- let, As his battalion was advancing toward the German trenches Lieut. Pringle discovered a concealed ma- chine gun, and single-handed he charged and killed the whole crew with his revolver. After he had acs complished this he was instantly hdll- ed by an enemy bullet., Captain Ohrysler and Captain Whillans were wounded in the same action. Lieut. Eric Dennis, son of Senator Dennis, of Halifax, hit on the head by shrap- nel, was saved by his helmet. A young soldier with the same bat- talion lost part of his nose by a shell fragment, but refused to stop fight- ing, saying he was going to get a Hun before he stopped. He got to the German trenches, raptured a Germaii and marched him back to a dressing station for treatment.
