WAR'S VICTIMS

Chivalry to the Fallen. ae
Inscriptions Indicate.
e.
It has been the hues+less nth both
sides—one of the sideli ee of the
grim business of war—to keep re-
cords of the graves of the fallen men.
Their resting plaees ticketed and-
rnimbcred, .and duly entered in rogis-
ter,a. In areas ihet have been occu-
pied Seccessiveiy by thc Germans and
the British, a number of graves bear
two numbered stakes. This goes to
show the pains that have been taken
to record the spots that have been
hallowed by the remains of those Hien
who have made the supreme sacrifice.
In spite of all this care, however,
the numbers of nameless graves are
very considerable. In Areas where
fighting of an extremely intense char-
acter extended over long periods, it
was a matter of impossibility to bury
at all the men who fell between the
Ines of the contending forces; and, in
places, there are graves where very
belated internments have taken place.
In Irish House --so named in compli-
ment to the Irish Fusiliers—whch
lies between Kemmel and the Wys-
chaete end of the 1\iessines Ridge,
there is one large grave which holds
the remains of an officer and thirty-
two inen of the Gordon Highlanders—
nameless---who died in June, 1916,
••incl were buried July, 1917, by the
Irish Fusiliers.
An Heroic German.
Farther up, amongst the ruins of
Wyschaete itself, are some elaborate
crosses on which the names of. British
soldiers appear, surrounded by other
crosses, bearing German names. This
marks the position reached by a tide
of British advance when was at that
time thrown back. Amongst what
was known to soldiers as the "Cata-
combs" of Wysehaete village, a single
cress bears the inscription in Englsh:
"Here lies an heroic German." Fre-
quently the word "brave" appears on
these crosses, as a trbute by either
German `tor -British to a fallen foe;
Meat onq, onders _ what deed inspired.
the use•'of the' word "heroic." Over
towards Lake Zillebeke, in a little
graveyard in a quadrangle of muti-
lated trees, one cross bears the Ger-
man inscription—"A Brave British
Stretcher -Bearer!" And a broken
stretcher lies eloquently across the
grave.
At a place called Preston Dump,
which, slightly north of Messines, was
once a German dump, and attic».wards
was made an cgineering 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
crosspiece from the German cross.
One of the men 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." Tho e two
itroeses in the engle between n road
and the lines of a light railway lean
towards one another, as if in a spieit
of reconciliation.
A Child's Grave',
A ,•hill's grave near Morville, in-
r:crihed with a child's prayer in Ger-
man rhyme, speaks of a Ilun less
Bun.nish than those who cuini;.sed
the little one's death.
Now that the war is over, and the
districts where the severest fighting
took place are freed, the work teat
remains to be done is bei r ;• tom -
Oda; and now, also, the pe•itile \V110
have lost relatives in the war are
snaking Gager 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
nnaa are buried.

each, old linen, leather trunks, old
clothes, books and furnture brought
cost price and as much as possible
was sold by the Belgians because they
never knew what would be seized, by
their tormentors. Those same tor-
mentors paid 280 for an oriental car-
pet four feet square that cost 240 ilt
1880 and had been in constant use.
They also paid 1,800 francs for a
piano which cost 1,400 francs eleven
years ago. Other similar purchases
were made with the intention of sell-
ing the articles later on—doubtless
bearing the magic words "Made in
Germany."
Dyed Sheets for Dresses.
Wonderful dyes were to be ob-
tained easily in Brussels and during
the past summer Belgian ladies dyed
their sheets according to fancy and
wore them. Last winter their spare
blankets were transformed into
coats. For a while the Belgians were
hoaxed into wearing their own patri-
otic emblems which had been manu-
factured by the Hun and put on sale
h Brussels. But as soon as the hoax
was discovered Belgians refused to
avail themselves of the privilege of
buying German -made goods. A flint
and steel for lighting the gas, al-
though clever, was unsaleable, the
reason being that it was made by the
Buns. Brass water taps were taken
by the enemy and for these they paid
two francs fifty, charging six francs
for taps to replace the requisitioned
ones. The new ones were, of course,
"made in Germany." Door handles
and bell pulls were seized in the same
way but were not replaced by house -
owners. It became "all the style" to
hang a piece of firewood to the bell
wire.

WILHEi.11l'S ABDICATIONS •
His Ancestral 'Throne and the Won.
derful Chair of Gerxoan Empire.
When Wilhelm II bcecame Icing of
Prussia he inherited an elaborately
carvoe chair, overhung by silken cur-
tains, which was the antesterial
throne of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
This chair, however, was a modest
and unpretentious affair compared
with the throne of the German Em-
peror, which is said to have cost
more than $100,000. It is described
as built of native woods in their na-
turaltints, with the armorial hearings
of the Holaenzollerns above the lofty
back and covered with carven de -
Agile emblematic of the States com-
posing the Teutonic Federation.
The back, supported by two col-
umns of wood, is of leather and ivory
and the seat is overhung by a canopy
of velvet. The tips of the arms are
solid gold, with a setting of emeralds.
There is also much eloth of gold to
lend additional gorgeousness.
Upon this wonderful chair, on state
occasions, the A11 Highest, sat in aw-
ful. majesty, dressed in a military un_i-
form of white and gold, in postaro
bolt upright and with his right hand
clasping an arm of the throne, while
One foot rested upon a velvet -covered
hassock.
But Herr Hohenzollern will never
again occupy either of these thrones.
He is out of a job and is, perforce,
cnotent to sit on an ordinary chair,
writing, writing at a smear in Hol -
lead, while wondering what sort of
a just punishment is to be meted out
to him.
Would not an electric chair just suit
his requirements?
Houses were constantly searched
for 'everything that could be used ia1
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.
LONDON'S GRANDSTAND
The Vietorial Memorial Commands a
Good View of the Mall.
Right in front of Buekinghain Pal-
ace stands the Victoria Memorial,
which commands a view of the whole
length of the Processional Way which
is called The Mall.
Access to the central monument is
gained by flights of stone steps, and
these lead to a spacious platform sur-
rounded by a low wall,
This platform has become, from its
position and great advantage as a
;viewpoint, London's grandstand.
To get a front place on this plat-
form is to command a splendid view
of any Royal or national procession or
function which has its centre of ob-
jectiive at the palace of our King and
Queen and is the cause of rivalry long
before any such function is timed to
talo place.
Of late it has been one of the sights
of the town to see the way it has been
ar'owded on such occasions as when
i Field
nerals headed I

the 1 � , 3
Marshal Sir Douglas flaelg, canto to
luncheon with the King, and when
President Wilson carne to be the
King's guest, and later made a sort of
royal progress to the city, to be en-
tertained by the Lord Mayor.
On such occaeions London's grand-
stand is a. "sttiud" indeed, for there
is only standing reenm,
When the king and Queen, accom-
parried by their gue•:tc, c•oine out upon
the balcony of the palace, as they
frequently do, the balcony and the
grandstand are opposite each other,
Land the Victoria Memorial becomes
one flutter of waving handkcrehiefs.
and one roar of cheering.
As a rule, the walls are occupied
by London's urchine, who may be
trusted to find the beet point o f 17111,

You reckless inen and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an artful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called froezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out with the fingers.
It is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without ins
P 4t tng or even irritating the surround-
jitf„ tissue 'or skin. It is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet

Power to Control or Forbid. Building
of Them Musl be Severed.
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 submarine, the London Daily
Telegraph says:
"The submarine campaign was
aimed at this country, and we suf-
fered worse than all the other Ira -
tons combined, '!.'here is danger that
that fact may he overlooked. Be-
sides ship74, wo 1'ottt cargoes tialued
at lluncireds of 7nilltiowi of pounds
sterling, while 15,000 British men,
women and children u -ere aesassin-
nted at sea.
"As we made no special represen-
tations on this subject, there has
been a tendency to su 3ge t• that we
emerged from this piracy rather well
off. L,et it be remarked once more
that 90,000,000 tons of our shi :ping
lie at the bottom of the sea. We
are more interested than any ceenl-
munity in the proposal for the aboli-
tion of tete' submarine. It would
ire misleading to claim that naval
opinion is unanimous in this hatter, '
but a large body of naval opinion,
and even a larger proportion of
statesmen, on both sides the Atlantic 1
favor the abolition of the U-boat."
