RUSSELL'S PATH.
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
stripped of his Cambridge fellowship
-he had a distinguished university
career. His London fiat was, he avers,

petent navel or military' authority,

, 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.

President of the United States Would Feel Deeply Mortified if

President Wilson, through the me-

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

WIVES OF

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. ,

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."

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

vided that they may besummarily

out regard to territorial jurdisdiction,

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-

Most of her time at her husband's

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

a hole battered in her side. Quick to
see the danger, a bluejacket took a
blanket given to him by Lady Jelli-

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.
