skill they have restored to the fight-

err whole divisions of men who in
other wars would have eked of their
wounds or would have been crippled
for life.
The recent gigantic battles, as the
result of which more wounded men
than ever before have received sur-
gical treatment within a chert space
of time, have demonstrated the 'im-
mense strides made not only in sur-
gery but in the methods of removing.
the wounded from the battlefields and
transporting them to hospitals. So
effective is the co-operation between
surgeons and physicians at the front
and those at the hospitals in the rear
that an immensely lnrger proportion
of the wounded recover than was the
rase at the beginning of the war.
Men whose legs or amts have been
�► fractured by shells now are restored
to their regiments in a minimum of
time. This is clue mostly to the fact
that they receive prompt antiseptic
treatment and surgical attention
which prevents blood poisoning and
the stiffening of articulation. Their
recovery is rapid In the hospitals be-
hind the lines, where they can be
treated under comfortable conditions

confidence in the army surgeons in
the great battles around Verdun and
in the great German offensive which
began in March. -

BIRDS AND TIIE WAR.
Speed of Aeroplanes Compared With
That of Feathered Flyers.
The connection between the flight of
a bird and the flying of an aeroplane
is obvious; yet, in spite of the won-
derful results obtained by birdmen—
aces of the air—nature retains the ad-
vantage over men in flying.
An' ordinary swallow can travel 120
miles in an hour, and there is a record
of a swallow that flew from Antwerp
to Compiegne, 148 miles, in sixty-
eight minutes, attaining an average
speed of 128 miles an hour.
The swooping vulture whizzes
through the air at 149 miles an hour.
Perhaps a falling aeroplane, or a Hun
Taube escaping from an ace, may go
that rapidly, but 100 miles an hour is
a good rate to travel for a birdman.
However, aeroplanes are constantly
being improved, and some aro exceed-
ingly speedy; 108 to 185 miles an hour
has been claimed at the front, but at
this speed the plane is in constant
danger.
Birds can fly for twenty-four hours
at a stretch, but 8 hours flying is suf-
ficient for an aviator. As yet no bird-
man can cross the ocean, but cuckoos
travel from England to Africa.
It has been estimated that at 10,000
feet altitude kites and hawks can see
field mice, their eyes being twenty
times stronger than those of man. At
the same height an aviator must have
powerful glasses to see even large
buildings and rivers.
Birds are helping to win the war.
The homing and carrier pigeons snake
excellent messengers on the battle-
field.
Birds adapt themselves in a most
remarkable manner to abnormal con-
ditions and environments, and while
they are naturally shy, they soon get
accustomed to the terrible thunder of
battle.
A correspondent witnessed the fol-
lowing interesting incident:—"At six
o'elooh, when the sky began to lighten,
it was possible to see a rolling ex-
panse of grayish dead grass, the
color of the prairies after a summer
drought. In the half light of the
dawn we put up two coveys of par-
tridges, while larks sprang up from
under our feet. Later, when the guns
were thundering and the battle raged,
crows flew cawing across the sky, in-
different alike to guns and aero-
planes."

My ceaseless work goes on—

Beneath the waters green.

•IMMIGRATION TO FRANCE.
107,800 Settlers Have Entered Coun-
try Since 1915.
A considerable stream of immigra-
tion has developed across the Pyre-
nees and across the Alps into France,
made tip of agricultural laborers and
industrial workers.
Statistics recently announced put
the number of immigrants last year at
107,600. Before the war France, like
most of the other Continental nations,
had practically no immigration and
had no machinery for handling new -
'comers. The movement began in 1915
with 28,300 men, women and children.
Now thirty stations have bean estab-
lished for examining and registering
the immigrants.
The service goes much further, It
finds work for these people, that is, it
directs them to localities where they
aro needed, and looks after their liv-
ing conditions, encouraging and fos-
tering the movement in every way.
All expenses are covered by a tax of

CANADA'S ANTI-
LOAFING LAW
AGRICUX.TUItE^. 1S NOW MOST
ESSEN 1TAI. INDUSTRY.
Male Persons Eetween Sixteen and
*sixty Meet Engage in Use-
ful Occupations. '
Tho loafers and merely nominal
workers of the North American Con-
tinent have fallen upon evil days.
Both in Canada and the 'United States,
the law has now set its face severely
against them. On July 1st the United
States Federal Order, as drawn up by
Provost Marshall Enoch Crowder,
went in effect. All men of draft age,
that is between the ages of eighteen
and fifty have now to be enoaged in
some productive employment or get
into the army. This Federal Order is
being re -enforced by anti -loafing laws,
enacted by the State Legislatures,
Measures in United States.
The Provost Marshall has defined
productive and non-productive occupa-
tions and there is no escape for those
who cannot be classed among the pro-
ductive workers if they are of draft
'ago. Non-productive occupations in
the United States are defined as fol-
lows:—
First, persons engaged in the serv-
ing of food and drink or either in pub-
lic places, including hotels and social
clubs.
Sccond,,passenger elevator opera-
tors, attendants, footman, carriage
openers and other attendants in clubs,
hotels, stores, opera houses, office
buildings and bath -houses.
Third, persons, including ushers and
other attendants engaged and occu-
pied in connection with games, sports
and amusements, except actual per-
formers in legitimate concerts, operas
and theatrical performers.
Fourth, persons employed in domes-
tic service.
Fifth, sales clerks and other clerks
employed in stores and other mercan-
tile establishments.
If'a man of draft age registered in
due course and waiting his selection
for the draft be not employed in pro-
ductive occupation, or if he be idle
partially or completely, he must hold
himself on immediate call for the
army. The regulation is applicable
to idle 'registrants, to gamblers of all
descriptions and employees of race
tracks and bucket shops, to fortune-
tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and
people of such vocations. If the
Board of Appeal so judge, idlers may
have their deferred classification with-
drawn and their names will be report-
ed to the Adjutant General of the
State for military service. The only
excuses for idleness and non-produc-
tive employment on the part of a man
of military age are set down as sick-
ness, reasonable vacation, lack of
reasonable opportunity for employ-
ment, temporary absences from regu-
lar employment, not to exceed one
week, unless such are habitual and
frequent or domestic circumstances
involving hardship to dependents if a
change of employment were ordered,
or where such change would necessi-
tate night work on the part of women
under unsuitable conditions.
In the State of New York, the sher-
iffs, state police, district attorneys,
magistrates, other officers of the law,
and the State Industrial Commission,
under the State Anti -loafing legisla-
tion, are combined to enforce the Fed-
eral Order and assign men where nec-
essary to jobs of a productive charac-
ter. It is estimated that 1,000,000
will change their employment as the
result:of this order of General Enoch
Crowder. It is pointed out, however,
that no man should give up his pres-
ent employment, even though of the
non-productive class, until he has
either procured work at an essential
industry or such work has been pro-
cured for him, as it is recognized that
a man employed at non-essential work
is better than a man not employed at
all.
The Work of the Moment.
Canada's Anti -loafing Law has been
in operation since early in April and
every male person over sixteen and
under sixty years of age, unless a
bona fide student, or physicially unfit,
or reasonably unable to find employ-
ment, must be engaged in soma useful
occupation.
111. Canada the most essential indus-
try at the present time is agricultural.
Food production is a necessity of the
present moment. More than 65,000
able-bodied men,, in addition to the
mien already employed on the land,
such as the Soldiers of the Soil and
the boys and women of other organi-
zations, will be needed to save the
crops this season, There is no room
for loafers; no time for idlers and
there should be no mercy for tramps
and mere pool -room sports.
Slightly over 79 per cent. of the
municipalities of Canada own and
operate their own water supply sys-
tems.
I believe, if we cunei<lered the
ultimate object of cultivating land,
we would put more energy as well as
wisdom into our attempts. That
ultimate object is not merely more
money from the crop now, but the
ministering to civilization just as
sincerely as a man does who sacrifices
himself to win this war that civilize -
tion may not perish.—Dr. J, W, Rob-
ertson..

NO FOUNDATION FOR
TRAVEL RESTRICTION RUMORS
The volume of tourist traffic from
the United States this year has been
considerably lessened by misleading
press despatches appearing in Ameri-
can and Canadian papers regarding
the Canadian Registration Act. It
was unwarrantably statdd that
visitors to Canada from the United
States would be compelled to register
at a post oglee before they could se-
cure accommodation at a hotel, that
passports were absolutely necessary,
and more recently the absurd rumour
was widely circulated that women
from the United States would not be
allowed to return home. This latter
ridiculous report is specifically denied
by Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of
Immigration, who officially designated
it as "absolutely without any founda-
tion in fact," Senator Gideon Robert-
son, a member of the Dominion Cabi-
net, and Chairman of the Registration
Board, is equally positive in his
denials of the other mischievous re-
ports. The actual facts are, aocording
to the official statement of the Regis-
tration Board, 'that the Registration
Act applies only to people permanent-
ly resident in Canada and does not af-
fect even remotely anyone living in
the United States; that 00 registrar
tion at a post office is necessary, and
that no passports are required. The
possession of papers showing'. .tel
holders to be American citizens is all
that is necessary to cross into Cana-
da.
anada. At the International boundary
line the holders of these papers are
given an identification card by the
Canadian Immigration Officials, which
enables the visitors to travel freely
where they wish without any inter-
ference on the part of Canadian of-
ficials.
Senator Robertson, Chairman of the
Registration Board, has announced
that "neither in the instructions is-
sued, nor the regulations for Cana-
dian registration, is there anything
that would indicate desire or inten-
tion to impose restrictions upon
Americans or aliens, entering, travel-
ling in, or leaving Canada."
