France lias been called atheistic in

recent years. She is, in fact, Catholic.There arc 700,000 French Protestants.There is not one probably who wonkidaily this atmosphere Nor does thepolitician, ai'-.ays cautious, rarely al-lowing himself to be qxiotod*. For lietoo believes in the atmosphere- amithinks France is in spiritual parturi-tion. His view has an added interestwhen the political troubles of the Caih-olic Church are considered. _ No at-tempt to describe these difficultiescould satisfy either side to the. contro-versy. On the historical -'--iclo theycentro around the Concordat and itsorganic • 'articles, an arrangement "1Napoleon Bonaparte wiiii Pope PiosVII. By it the State took over appor-tion 01 the control of the church eiFrance. Previous to this developmentatheism had appeared in France, i".Voltaire and his kind. The mob parethe philosopher's preachment ercteopieexpression during the excesses I'wTerror, setting up in Notre Dame aGoddess of Reason represented by a ini--let dancer. Iu the restoration ej tin:church in Franco at the time oi theConcordat the Catholic chrgy becantopublic functionaries and were nail asother officials. As part of the Govern-ment l-hc church and its interest;.; werechampioned by tho parliamentaryRight, «.the extreme wing of which arethe Monarchists and its opposition wasfound in the Left, 'the wingof which are the revolutionary Racial-ists. The anti-clericals, not all it re-ligions men by any means, constitutingthe Lefty began ninny years ago a lm:g.series of 'lccisialivo restrictions uponthe Catholic Church. Tho high clergywere excluded from the Si.perior Coun-cil of Public Instruction- Jesuits wereexpelled. The mortmain 'property cfmonastic orders, which paid no inher-itance tax, was made liable to excise.The Roman Catholic, catechism wa.sbarred from the public schools. Cath-olic theological students were deprivedcf exemption . from military service..Crucifixes over the entrances of ceme-teries, in schools and in courthouseswere ordered to be removed. 31anyCe.tholic orders Were excluded. Intime State differences with thePcpe,in the matter of authority over bishops,followed, and in 1900 the Concordatwas abrogated, tho Bill separating thechurch from the State be.-nmiae; law.The divorce is absolute. Pope Pills X.,at the time cf the pnssng? of the law.condemned it as " insultiiim to God."The feelings engendered by this eonllicfchave probably lessened in ten years,but in ' some they still rankle deep.Knowledge of the conflict is' prerequi-site to an understanding of the presentspiritual state of the Re-public. In theview of •mary of those who see. inFrance a profound religious revival, thewar, its .unexpectedness, the ferocity ofthe German attack, struck -deep in Jothe primitive emotions of oho French-man and awoke, at one stroke his pat-riotism and his piety, his partisanshipsinking beneath the stronger'passion ofthe one. his casual disbelief fading awaybefore the radiance of the other.

With slight differences of viewpoint,the process of this transformation isseen by all alike. Hov.' was it mani-fested? I will let two of the leadingecclesiastics of France, one a Catholic,the other a Protestant Episcopalian,answer. •

"This religious revival in. France,''T asked, "is it actual, and, if so, howdid it come about?"

"It is-aetual.'' be replied; "and itcame abcut in this way: First, beforethe war there had been a revival air, oil;the most- cultured of the young people.Among popular classes, inducing work-ing men and farmers. Catholic weakhad produced considerable results. Cath-olic associations had formed among allclasses and elite of the Catholic Church,and also lite society 'lhe CatholicYouth, which includes young people cfthe aristocracy, ihe bourgeoisie, and.Ihe children of the people. For in-stance, before th.e -war, I have myselfheard, in towns of Brittany, youngpeople sneaking Breton enthuse im-mense audiences composed of farmers.I have seen oh! men wearing iheBreton costume weeping with emotion,and 1 have heard them cry:they had only talked to its "tike thai inother days.' I\ow, -reinforcing thd.work; was the circumstance thai theclergy, above all the young vicars, hadbecome, sinco' the separation of iliachrch and the State, much mere ac-tive. They mixed more with the. ::c-pulatioh. The Concordat held jbc'm incheck: that is to say, .their zeal asfunctionaries was cheeked by c-lio fourof making trouble for their superior*,with the Government. .VI! tlu- eie-ntents of a- religions revival e.:i;lri!.then, before the war.

" Undoubtedly there is amongi-'rencinncn a religions revival of n vervrema.rkable nature," I said to him." 'What caused it: fear of death?"-

"Ac, no, no!" he e.\c!aiiiit"d. "Xotfea.a of death at all: deeper than thai,higher than that—-duty."

".tienning by thai—what?•'"That the Frenchman is nroved by a

1 recalled the ahnc.'ph ~e I had iden-tified in Not re Came and the otherchurches; and f asked this: "And thesymbols which stand between the wor-shipper and his intimate Deity?"

"They are no longer symbols. TheFrenchman clotiie-s the symbol, and itbecomes a vision. It is no lr-nper theimage; it is the being"; itis no longerilluminate, hut incarnate. €OlllO withme and 1 will show you the privatesoldier in his bane coat, and his ' redbreeches, on bis knees at- a shrine, be-fore, Jeanne d'Are, i-.r,caking with t'negreatest intimacy to Jeanne herself,not- to tho image, but to the saint.""You are speaking of normal men,

thing. This is a, Protestant church.Yfe keep it open all day long: soldierscome here singly and in groups, ktfcoldown and alive themselves and France-to the good God.

I may also add that this was my Inst.bi'i"t" before v. e went into tire action'where I was unlucky enough to com*off second best in a heated--very neat.-~.rl ni-guur'iii with a shrapnel shellwherein T l"sl my loft leg-

Nine-thiny the following morning

saw us all liiircl tn\ on parade in frontof our erstwhile billets, and :!.fter a

proper and fitting show of hurry anilhustle and shouted commands, womoved off for this mysterious Cailoune,

where we had never been iieiore, _ and

knew nauehc of. The sun war, sinning

brightly, and nil tmngs looked Ires')

and pure, except tis. e were plasteredwith mud collected in our rush overploughed fields from one barn to an-

other in search of last kit, which woinvariably recollected having, left mour last trench.

reinforcements which were urgenci.

needed, and, as the route to be tra-versed was nearly sixty ,ud.es. torcdmarelies would be the order ol the day.

Mavbe it was my fancy, but suddenljI felt verv t'.rcd and ill-used. iou

WC had already experienced wnata forced march is like,.and thewas not a bit alluring. l.iu,-aftei- a-

of'ncarlv a thousand lusty ihioats, Itook a long breath a rosier view ofthe world, and a " fag -the UUumtichod from my front tile s ■eav-.»£settled down to serious .oot-slogg ngU" Ml along the line of march we were

cheered bv admiring groups ot natives

That was tho sort of tlmiß *hc papoio

had led mo to expect before I K-UScotland, but the reality was r.ppallin ,especially to one of my retiring dis-position, who had never—contrary topopular belief in some parts of Lng-ln,'d—worn thekilt in all my life, evenalthough I was a- Scotchman. ■ ' .

As our regimental Cockney so aP Lyput in, the "reality was "the absol-luio blooming limit,." At every cot-tage and barn door we were gnpeclat. by buxom maids and decrepit giim-peres, whom we sensed were passing dis-paraging remarks cu our appearancein general and our dirty knees in par-ticular. Wo as a race aro not to boremarked for sensitiveness, but ourcopious sweating, in conjunction 1

the thickly rising dust, )»ndo us feel,iivnd I 'fcupposo. 10.0k,...1ik0 discardedscarecrows. Even our colonel, harden-ed as ho is. was, I'll swear, blushinglike a flapper caught in the act of nap-ping, and I know for a fact that outcompany lieutenant, wlio is the regi-

mental "dandy, took out a pocket peri'-scope and used it as a mirror to give

a surreptitious "touch up" to his ap-pearancesTHE OFFICERS LOOK "WORRIED.lint even this came to an end; as all

things db; and we- spoil fotfhd ourselves;'marching along quiet and very dustycountry roads with a pitiless sun blad-ing overhead. After wo had coveredabout fifteen miles and had had a lewrests we were told to fall out on thet'oadside for another -rest. Now, youmay guess we weren't, kicking at that,hut it certainly looked queer, as ourlast rest was but a quarter of an hourgone, nnd it is not the way" of' theArmy to pamper soldiers, especially on'i forced march, but we sat down toenjoy the bounty the gods—or theC.O.—had sent us. It was then thativo first noticed that our officers seem-ed worried over something, but as wewere not concerned over their troubleswe just sat or h/v about on the road-side and smoked.

After about ten minutes' discussionbetween the officers we again " fell in,"and set out to reach the end of theseemingly endless road which stretchedbefore us.

About an hour later wo were againordered to

" full out " and rest, andonee attain wo observed the ofdistress flying—metaphorically—in thefaces of bur officers, rind once againa period of discussion ensued. Longand earnest was the del ate, and thatthey wcro excited we could see, butimagine- our- surprise and horror when-tho news began to spread that we werelost!

Sounds impossible, doesn't it? ButI can tell you it's a. fact. Yes, r.iulwell we knew it when wo wcr? told to"fall in" naain, ''about- turn," andmake back tho way we had come.

STEPS RETRACED.Dear reader, Invo you ever marched

to a C.dloune, or an anywhere c;he,for about twenty rciLia in full march-ing erd'er, with bliitered foet, undera suffocating ?un, and an officer whosv.-ea.s you can't keep step, and thenfind that your Calloune, or your auy-whero. else, is further away than ever,and that you've got to <;o all tho waybaclc and start again? If vou haven't,yon don't know what it means to live,vou'vo only existed! Back to ourbillets, we tightened op our equ'p-m.eni, mad? our rifle* me.ru comfort-able, watched tho dawning loo!:s olwonder, amusement and amazement onthe faces of. our oi'iccrs, an:! ret offonce agiiu, in tin samo direction!

This 'imo. we thought, all will bewell, v.-o will get to Colloune, and seewhat is wjn tod of us, an-.l our worrm iwill be over. Five miles wore reohdoff, then ten, then fifteen, then twoa--Iy, and we were beginning to wonder

if such a place a". Onllnuno really ex-isted, and, if it did, were we going intl o right direc'ion for it, or were woonce again lost, or shall 1 s:iy mislaid.Lost, or mislaid, we wore getting justabout as fed up an it is possible to_ be,and our equipment and rilles were feel-ing about, a ton weight on our should-ers. We were hungry. we wore thirsty,wo were begrimed with caked oust., andaltogether we i'el f- about as cheerful a»;

doat mutes at a funeral. I think itwas only the timely order to " fall oui' 1i'.nd re;t that caused m: to reject wildschemes to fall behind en mas;omid demand a rido on the transportv.',logons.

A CURIOUS KATIOX OF TEA.Presently our hearts were cheered

by promises of tea, and we ;■.!! got outour mess tins and eyed the_ fickl aor-vico eookjry lorry with woliVii iiiu-u----sity. Mavliap it was that tho cook ob-served our looks, and va? tbs'-robymade nervous; ina.yhr.p lie. was. wild mbeing awakened from a comfortablesnooze on the back of thoold cookery lorry. Nobody canbo sure cf tho cauity but-, cer-tain it i.i that the results were ci'ii-a-jtrous. It eamo about thuiCoosstoked up, and soon had a f.pjeaci.dfire burning undor the boiler, and tlve-nill led it—tho boiler, 1 mcasi-—• wii.iiwater from thn water-cart, and prepar-ed to make tlie tea. Ton minutes hadpassed boforo steam was observed is-suing froux the boiler, and tho cookthen seized and emptied the contentsof a, tin into the boiling water, and' iyaall lined w> with our mess tins inreadiness; to receive our duo and lawiulshare of tea. The mess-tin of tho lead-ing man -was placed under the tap, thotap was turned, and out asteady stream of mu=tardy water! Tnecock had emptied tho wrong tin intotho_ boiling water 1No, dear reader, I can't- bring my-self to write what was said, Jiufficoit, to bo known that our stock of elo-quence was in no wise diminishing whenthe order caino,

" Fall in," and oncemore we sot oil—in nn atmosphere high-ly charged with electricity—on oursearch for elusive Ualloune.THE BAND PLAYED THE WRONG

TUNE.Eight o'clock that evening cams and

passed, and st.'ll we were seemingly nonearer -our destination,-. and starvationid'oihed large bu'bur libfizoti. Just aswe wero on the point ol " cease gious-ing "—the soldier's true danger .signal—an expectant stir macto itself leJuthrough the ranks, and word was passeuback that wo wero approaching a vil-lage ; maybe, who cou.d say, it wouldbe Callouno. As we drew nearer totho village music was heard, andsomething familiar about.,tho air madeus believe that this was'our destina-tion, and thatwe "were being welcomedin in ceremonial stylo. No such luck!Our colone), a great believer in thoold adage. "Music hath charms, etc.,"had simply sent ahead a. request thatuie band of tho billeted ' regimentshould turn out and play us throughthe village, and so hearten us a little.His intentions wero doubtless excel-lent, but consideriug our famished con-dition it soemed to us to be the heightof ironv to bo saluted by that r

well-known 'homely tuno of " "What's for thoSupper?"—and the unconsciously of-fending bandsmen v'rre in greaterdanger, did they but know it, thanever tliey would bo from "'Jack John-sous" or "\Vhi« Bangs. 1 '

But all things come to an end. andtwelro o'clock midnight found us allsafely ensconed and fast asleep in anold farmhouse and its surrounding out-buildings, dreaming sweet dreams ofsumptuous suppers and gorgeous gorges.

At six o'clock next morning we wereroused out and told to " fall in," andas no rations were forthcoming we hadperforce to "fall in" hungry, dirtyand tired, and set off on our endlessmarch, this time with the added stimulusof a dronching downpour of rain andthe knowledge that Yp— sorry, Censor—not Calloune was to be our destina-tion, and-that- a bayonet charge waswaiting to be carried out when we ar-rived. -

ARMY BASES.

THE ALL SEEING "I"HOW SOME OF WAR'S WASTAGE'

is mm good.

It is alt very well for tie mass of an

array to fed confidence. It knows solit lie of the truth, writes Mv GilbertMurray in tho " Westminster Gazette.'Wo are told that tho masses cf vhep°opte in Germany still believe they are-winning; it is only when you get intoconversation with tho well informed fewthat you realise how profoundly hopeshavo Vied. The public announcement;maintain their old boastlulness; but thepeople who know most • tell anotheistory.

There is no such el cava so in the -oru-i;-li linos in Franco. It is ono fpirui'rem the ordinary nrivate, whom wehave all talked with in the tram, to theprivate chambers of tho august precinct-which bears tie label G.11.Q.are perhaps no letters in the world quiteso awe-inspiring as tlioyj three; and iuthe region they cover no sanctum so in-

timate as " I-" l'er ''l stands loiIntelligence.

THE OMNISCIENT "I."Now I do not supposo that I was al-

lowed at " Ito see anything wmchthe Bocho would specially profit by w>revealing: but ftero is no harm i"being too careful. 1 will only say this,that? if I had been earned through theair by au angel or a Diablo- Boitoaua.

; .ud aSlovcd to see what was going onin those looms without hearing th'.-

language, I should havo saia' to •

'• Well, this is evidently tho InteLi-' -once Department of the German Gen-

7"al Stafif, and it surpasses all I baveheard about it. Ido not «e how a poo.olri. natio i of muddlers like the Bnti>h.-an hold out against this sort oi

this alert, exact, methodical, ali-e.u-brr.ci.nc oriran of knowledgo ■ . •

.Mutfefe indeed 1 I had. maecdIst-aTd rumours that, though m 150111-I50111-

time wo had almost no secret semce atall, since the war our secret service andt 1 rest of our Intelligence work haddeveloped in a wonderiul way.

But I was not prepared tor the real-irv. And when I think of tne combina-tion of qualities required lor producingMich a result, tho reckless daring andcool observation, the aaVqitness and m--enuitv and mutual confluence, and thehnce background or s.nkul,,vork and methodical organisation, Iamthe more impressed by it,cnou"b. just I came out of the otnci-I mS in the road a tired and ratbeidnstv man, and my guide r.ientionedhis name. It was a tame celebratedthroughout England for romantic '..ar-

i?" 7. .As a lncnd of my boyhoodT.sed to r-ay, "It's just devilish, and-there "s'no more to be said.

And yet. I could never really have

mistaken it for tho German stan, at'

Wst if the accounts of that institu-tion siven by various journalists aro atall iuat. For there is no Teutonicsplendour about "I," no clanking otspurs and curling of moustaches, anddrinking of beakers of champagne.There is no swagger of any description;only a. number of men, rather youngerthan one expected, looking busy andinterested and clever, and not in tJC

least fnssed. (The general at the.headof'them was, I believe, a captain atthe beginning of the war). ?sot muchleisure for the staff from tnorJng tillnight; 3 simple dinner at eight andback to work a quarter of an hourafter it is finished. I am afraid, afterall, that Sveo Hedin would be disap-jjointed in them.

MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS.. All this organisation, I supposo, has

practically been'created since the open-ing of the war; and much the same ap-pl&s to the medicd ■arrangements. Onebeard cruel stories of the bufferings ofcur sick and wounded during tho firstmonths. "Them blighters" had not.been prepared for such an unprecedent-ed strain oa their ambulance arrange-ments any more than the rest of thoworld had. For the German woundedsuffered terribly also, and their medi-cal service broko down, just as oursdid.

Bnt now every step of the woundedman's journey seems to have been care-fully thought for, and made-as littlopainful as human science and fore-thought and sympathy can Inako it,from the trench to that first dressing-station among the shells whore I sawthe two young doctors waiting; lastFriday; and from there by motor am-bulance or hospital train or barge to•he -beautiful hospitals. at "the base.Those who must have no shakiug gob.> barge; but the trains seem to haveyood appliances for minimising the vi-bration, and go at a regulated pace.And what lessons of surgery have beenlearnt since 1914! But these thingsshould be described bv a medical man *

SECRET DISEASES.; KITCHENER'S WARNING.

TV tofr 1 Lord Kitchener found thabthe ravages ntado by venoreal diseasesAmong B\i tieh troops serving in Indiatvfom iio coiu.it auded was of an ex-tremely sei"jou9 naturo, and ho deliver-ed a spirits address to tho man onfcbo subject It seems a pity, -whenwe remember tho numbers of our ownsoldiers who, particularly during theearly part) of Alio campaign, fell a vic-tim to theso diseases in Egypt that thesubject was no!i taken in hand by thoofficers. Lord Kitchener's address,which pats tho whole matter plainlyand in language that would impressevery soldier, is worthy of serious con-sideration.

After pointing ont that there -mas a,limit to what could bo dono by theauthorities and that- the hearty co-operation and assistance of /tho menwas necessary. Lord Kitchener saidthat ho felt hot that the man fre-quently suffered from mint of know-lodge of how to j>rotect themselves.

"Tho elimat-i and conditions of lifein India (and they apply practically inas great a degree in Egypt)," lie said,1 ■ are unfortunately s*uch as to createtemptations greater than thoso whichexist in coucriries catside the trcpics.Tho absence of home associationsthrows men nore on their own ressources, .and deprives them of it-any

of those helps towards resisting temp-tation which surround them at home.During the cold weather- there mayperhaps be enough work, healthy exer-cise, anil air.urement to keep men- oc-cupied mentally and physically; butthroughout- tin; long months of sreatheat time cften hangs heavily ontheir hands, &ncl with of' occnpartion comes tho temptation*,to excessiveir.dulgenc?.

" It is therefore all the mo£o neces-sary tliut those who are servirig theircountryshould exert to the utmost thosepowers of self-restraint with whichover;.' man is provided, in order that,ho mav keen his appetite in propcif'control. They should avoid all excess-in liquor; on no account touch couii-trv spirts; take an active interest intheir profession, and do their utmosttowards, making themselves I'crilytiriartsai*S efficient soldiers in every re-spect. "J.OY should take part in allhcr.ltliv ojl%or sports and games andalways in good tram-in" and physically fit'. Both mmd-and-tody should i>e fully occupied, and alivclv 'interest cultivated in all their,surroundings. In this way work willbe founa niuel: cosier and life generallyn:ore pleasant.

'•'Above nil things men must rera?m-

ber that they must do credit to theirregiments, for the good name of aregiment lies in the keeping of ovaryman belonging to it, and must msces-sarilyi suffer if the men become - ..»»-*

efficient through venereal diseases. Itis discreditable and even dishonest,that by ' cortracting, through self-indulgence,- a disease which _he canavoid, a man should render himself in-capable of doing that work for hiseculit rv which he enlisted to do."Unless pride in their corps, and the

"

desire to do it credit, keep men fromthis, they mus* bo prepared -to Sfio

other regiments chosen for active ser-''vice, and their own left behind."It is therefore the duty of a sol-

cticr not only to keep h/mself clear ofdisease, but >lso, by nis good ex-ample. to hoip his mates to avoidtemptation. The older men particn-larlv should realise theirties in this respect. Very m-ach de-pends on tho tono and example whichT>.ev set. and even if they themselvesWave suffered there is all the moreneed that- tlfKv-should do their .'utmostto keep ''their younger; comrades

and prevent them from lcvpcr-

in" the good name of the regiment asa whole. No soldier who is unable toexercise" restraint in these matters canbe expected to bo entrusted with com-maud over his comrades.

" Everv man can by self-control re-strain tlie indulgence of these impru-dent and reckless impulses that so of-t'-i lead men astray, and ho who thusresists is a better soldier, and' a betterman, than tlie man of weak will, who•Hows liis bodilv appetites to role him,and lias not tho strength of characterto resist temptation and to refuse tofo!bw any bed example he may see be-fore him.

*

" Remember the better influences oflife. What would your mothers, yoursisters, and your friends at home'thinly -o;' you if they saw you in hospital, de-graded by this cause? And later, oftin life, when you may rightly hope tomarry and settle down, it will make adifference to your own happiness and

"'l '-that of vour family—which no wordsfan express—if you can do so with abody clear of those loathsome diseaseswhich, if once contracted, may bo pass-ed on to vour childreu.

" Syphilis assumes a horrible,' loath-some and often fatal form.

"Tlie only hope for those who havethe misfortuno to contract such diseases 'is to submit to the earliest possibletreatment by a qualified medical offi-cer, for delay is most dangerous; Norcan any permanent good result fromresorting for aid to quacks or patentmedicines, for the disease will not beeradicated, but will break out againand again in the years to come, so thattho sufferer will"infect his wife, andtheir children (if any) will be diseasedand weakly cripples."Although the military penalties in-,

enrred by those who contract venerealdiseases can only be. considered as ofminor importance when compared totho more dreadful and far-reaching con-sequences referred to, yet men shouldremember that they exist, and whatthey are. Promotion may bo affected,iirst-cla&s servicepay. is forfeited for it isgiven for efficiency, and men who havesuffered from theso diseases remaininefficient for a long period Guardsand duties missed while in hospitalhave to bo made good, so that the self-indulgence of those who contract dis-ease may not throw extra work on theircomrade?. On their return to duty theymay find all indulgences, passes, etc.,withheld, and tho canteen may be clos-ed against them. Should men be in-valided for venereal diseases gratuitiesand pensions are liable io be affected.

"further, it must be rememberedthat it is impossible for long to concealthe existence of disease, and that theattempt .to do so is «/i offonco which isvery severely punished."

WAR NOTES.

THE NEW OFFENSIVE.(From Our Cohrksfondbnt.]

LONDON, Juno 16.Present, events suggest that tho mili-

tary expectation of a docisivo cam-paign during tho summer of 1916, whichwould Fettlp the result of tho war with-out perhaps finally ending it, is rathernear tho truth. At the preseut mo-ment tho fighting on all the fronts hasreached a pitch of desperato intensitywhich has never lieforo been equalled.Apparently tho German liopo was to de-liver early in the spring so crushing ablow on the Western Front that Francowould ho really beaten to lier Knees,and that evon though this failed tosecure an inconclusive peace, it wouldloavo no'possibility of an effective of-fensive by tho Allies in that theatre oftho war. Having thus onco more im-posed a 'strict defensive role on thoFrench and British armies in tho West,Germany planned to renew her groatdrive against tho Russians in the East,and by so doing not only to relieve thohard-pressed Turk and the apprehen-sive Austrian, but to double the chancesof bringing the Entente Allies into apeace conference. All tlieso plans havemiscarried. The splendid resistance theFrench have offered to tho smashingblows delivered by the Germans atVerdun day after day for months onend has saved tho situation. The Rus-sians~havo once moro displayed a mili-tary skill and energy which have been,as opportune as tiicv wore efficient.Even admitting that the Austrians arenot tho soldiers that tho Germans are,and that tho trench-lines in tho East,are not'so formidable and close-knit astho field fortifications in tho West, the-;Russian achievements are' magnificent.Tho Russian armies aro surging with ;

incredible swiftness right back overthe grcmnd they lost in the south afterttio fall of Warsaw. And this time tli6impression is that the Russians havocomo to stay. In numbers and equip-ment and munitions tho Russian armiesof to-day .are infinitely better off thanthey. were "during tho earlier stages ofthowar.; Russia has struck staggeringblows within the last few weeks bothagainst Austria and against Turkey. Itremains to bo seen whether Hinden-burg in tho north can create an ef-fective diversion. The persumption isthat- it is impossible unless he is heavilyreinforced from tho Western Front.the process of exhaustion.

And it is impossible for the Germans,w&o are already pressing Belgians andl o]es t ihto their battalions, to send any

' man to-strengthen Hindonburg in thoEast without- so weakening then .linesin tho West that they mil be courtingdisaster. In other words, without beingunduly optimistic, wo seem at last tobo approaching tho moment of Ger-many s military exhaustion. They havesacrificed nearer a half than a quarterof-3' million of men in the fruitless taskercaptilirilig Verdun. In several monthsthey .'have; advanced only a few milesagainst - that salient fortress ring, andevery yard of ground has been- purchas-ed at a bitter sacrifice. They1 are nownearer to tho fortress-than ever before,but the" most formidable positions of allstill confront them.

There is some doubt about the posi-tion At .Ypres. At "first it was thought,

. '.wJleiuitiiQ; Germans concentrated tlieirartillery arid" launched their massed at-tacks, that another bid was being madefor Calais. The Canadians sufferedheavily in that onslaught. Evidentlythe Germans are more fortunate thanourselves in being able to prepare andlaunch a 6udden blow like this with thefull effect of surprise, and without ourmen knowing all a,bout the operationswell in advance. Tho capture of thetwo distinguished Canadian- Generals,and the temporary less of tho frontlines and supporting trenches, must beattributed to this But the valourwith which the Canadians fought,'oftenwith broken rifle butts and fists, could'not have been surpassed. And the bril-liant way in which they have recap-tured the lost ground speaks for itself.In this instance it is-gratifying to findthat the British artillery proved itselfmore formidable even than tho G-er-man.. But it is quite clear, while wehave been straining every nerve- toovertake the Gorman superiority in themechanism of war, the Germans havebeen straining every norve to surpasstheir own resources. Some of their newquick-firing heavy guns arc very effect-ive weapons. Unfortunately tho affairat Ypres has cost tho Canadians manygallant lives. But there is good reasonto believe that the Germans have loststill inoi'o heavily.\JTfre>'Australians have also been dis-tinguishing themselves. They havecarried out line successful raids on theGerman trenches opposite to them in away which suggests that they arerapidly settling down to the trencfi con-ditions of the fighting on the westernfront. Looking at the general situationof tho wai-'as a whole, tho momentnow really seems to bo closer athand, when, under the stress of-a general offensive on all the fronts,vigorously and skilfully conducted, thecapacity of the Central Empires to

"withstand anything like prolonged pres-sure all along the lino might be pru-dently tested. Tho moment of collapsewill undoubtedly come, if the-Alliesjstick at it manfully and with determin-ation, and it will come suddenly.

THE NAVAL BATTLE.Some vivid letters and personal narra-

tives are now available from men- - who.fought in- tie battle of Horn" Reef.One of the gunlayers of. H.M.S. Tiger,the latest

.vessel of tho British Battle-

cruiser Squadron, has given the follow-ing account:— \.

-• "The Lion, which"was leading the;line, followed by tho Tiger. PrincessRoyal and Queen Mary, was the.first toopen firo, the range being about18,000yds, and common shell "beingcsed. _ '-Range-finding continued for 'afew minutes, .neither squadron doingwhat-might-bo called really good shoot-ing till then. Then it could bo* seenthat each of the British battle-cruisershad begun business in earnest. Controlfiring was adopted, the speed of eachsalvo being remarkable 1. The Germans,too, began to get the range as the ves-sels drew towards each other, and aparticularly lucky shot cut away partof tho Indefatigablo's firecontrol."Aboutfour o'clock every mail in tho BritishBattle-cruiser Squadron, each vessel ofwhich had' been singling out an oppos-ing vessel, realised that tho Germanshad not only a preponderance of guns,but more than double tho number ofvessels. They were clover in realisingtheir superiority. They began concen-trated fire, and every gun of tho Gor-man squadron was first turned on thoLion, bnt hardly a shell hit her. Twoasphyxiating projectiles fell on herupjicr deck behind the bridge, but thomajority fell short, sending up terrificvolumes of water. The two squadrons ■approached each other for twentv min-utes, and then the enemy suddenly boroatot to port, soou turning completelyas if they wero breaking off the action.Wo turned as well, and manoeuvringcontinued for fifteen minutes, when theGerman squadron again cam© ahead,their guns being concentrated on theQueen Mary. They bad been pokingabout for range for some minutes with--ont~effnct,-when suddenly a most -re-markable thing happened. Every shellthat the German threw seemed suddenlyto strike tho battle-cruiser at once. Itwas as if a'Whirlwind was- 'smashing a 'forest down, and Teminck-d me verymuch of the rending that is heard whena big vessel ; s launched and the staysate being smashed. The Queen Maryseemed to roll slowly to starboard, hermast, and' funnels gotiff, and witn abugs hole in her side. Sho listed again,the hole disappeared beneath the water,which rushed into her, and turned hercompletely aver. A minute and a halfnnd all could be seen of tho QnrnnMary was I Is jju<! then thot •;i~;'PP£;»rM.

" We tveve engaged by two battleshipsat 15,000yds, in addition to some half-dozen submarines, which were poppingup ovferywhere. Tlio loss of one sub-marine is given out, hut I know that

, two were sunk within ten minutes oftho loss of the Queen .Mary, one of ourbattleships that had come up rammingone, whiln tho New Zealand blew an-other to pieces with her quick-firers.A remarkable change took place withthe arrival of 'Mio Valiant, which, withtho Barham, was the first battleshipto arrive. Together with the Warspite.which had been engaged with twobattle-cruisers .somewhere astern, oneof-which sho-sank earlier in the after-noon, they concentrated their fire onthe end vessel cf the German line. Itmay seem incredible, but in two min-utes tho vessel had almost disappeared,only dense clouds of smoke and steammarking the spot where she had been.There was some satisfaction there, forit was that, vessel—n three-funnelledbattle-cruiser—which had put a luciiyshot right through the finrham twominutes after she had opened fire. Butthe Barham had her own back.

tinued to fire with deadly effect, evi-dently by control, so methodical werethe salvoes, till the Barham and Va-liant opened fire on her at 4000 yards.She literally crumpled up. Her'a-itergun turrets disappeared within sixty.seconds: her masts and funnels werethe next to go; and then slowly andhorribly methodically the great • tonshells of the British vessels began tohit. her in tho same place at; the sametime with wonderful precision. Theyliterally dug a hole in the Gorman shiptill, with a tremendous explosion, sheblew up. Not long after she had dis-appeared we were attacked by aboutfifteen destroyers. They came in ajcformation, but our secondary arma-ment sank three, the shooting of ourgunners being magnificent. One afteranother was -crippled, and a curioussight was one destroyer which had lostall her funnels, guns, torpedo tubes,mast, and bridge still travelling lo or20 knots, her decks one mass of flame.One thing was proved in that fight—-the undoubted superiority of Britishgunnery over the Germans. Gun forgun we were absolutely superior, end Ionly wish they had stucK it for anotherhour. Thev would then have knownwhat loin guns can do.

The good old Hampshire didall that was required of her. and hadthe satisfaction of loosing off her gunsat the lluns, and was in a position toseo a good deal of the whole action.Don't bo downhearted at the losses ourNavy suffered, or place too much faithin the Hun account of what happen-ed, as they will probably glois overtheir own disaster and exaggerate ours.Of course, there is no getting awayfrom the fact that otir losses wereheavy,. but beyond the three capitalskips, do not seriously affect tllo powerof tha Grand Fleet, and 'under the cir-cumstances in which the fight tookplace were almost inevitable.

er or a dangerous revolutionary, wemust say the same ako of Christ.

'• But the people who . arc reallydangerous and unpractical are thosewho lead a man in a wrong directionbecause they tell hjia that ho has nosense of direction at all and mustalways bo the prey of blind forces out-side him. Mr Shaw does at least be-liei'e in the human will, and this beliefhas 'ed him to believe in Christianityas tha only coiscious vind clear state-ment- of what n;an wills when he doeswill at. all. It is will and directionthat matter above all things to man.that jnaJSiQ the life or death of ailhuman society. AYe believe that v;ecan iinvo an anti-Christian will and ananti-Christian direction. Tliis is our■treat mistake,-- V.'hatover ":a anti-Christian is In its nature absence • of'will, absence of direction.""It leads to wars like tho present,

which some men think they want, butonly bafause they do not know whatthey wanu The very Germanfanaticism in this war is but a perrer-sion of the desire for salvation en-tittigjfed with cgotism'and not fully con-

f/Ous of itself. If "that desiro, whichives the Germans like sheep to the

slaughter, became consicous of itselfand freed from egotism, it would leadthem not to war but to peace."

A FORCE LIRE ELECTRICITY."Mr Shaw seems to be a little

ashamed of his own. admiration ofChrist—he spends too much of the pre-face in telling- ua what Tie Idoes notbelieve about Christ, in cipla,iiung thatmankind for the mosi part have believ-ed nonsense about Him—but, with allbis peculiar emotional prudery, he can-not hido his ©motion. Christ is to hima real person, who meant what Hesaid. He is "a fact, a force like elec-tricity, olily needing the invention ofsuitable political machinery to be ap-plied tq;, $»o -iflfffiff; of--mankind vronrevolutionary,l "" The originality And tTie value of the

preface lio in this—that Mr Shaw doesnot, like many Christians, despair of.the application of Christianity to poli-tics. He says that Christianity canhave no reality, that it cannot be be-lieved in, until it is applied to politics;that the Christian problem is to ap-ply it to politics, since without suchapplication men cannot .even begin toba Christians. The mart who says thatit cannot bo applied to- politics doesnot believe in it; it is to him merelyan ideal; ho may wish that it -wastrue, but ho does, not- think that itIS. .

"Mr Shaw, on the other hand, thinksthat it is true. He believes that theprinciples laid down by Christ areright biologically, that Christ did, inTact, make a scientific discovery aboutthe nature of man and of the miireree,and that mankind have hitherto failedto make any practical use of this dis-covery because they have not believedthat "it was true. They havo thoughtthat Christ told them what they oughtto be, and that, no doubt, Ho was right,but that they could not, as a society,attempt to obey His commands. Hutaceoiding to Mr Shaw, He told themthat if they behaved in a certain man-ner certain results would follow. Theyhavo not behaved in that manner, andtho results have therefore not followed :

but that is scarcely * a reason -why weshould say that Christianity is afailure.

TRY IT IN POLITICS. .

•''Men must believe in Christianityenough to try it in politics; -untilthey do that they have not made trialof It at all. Politics are a moral ac-tivity because they are an activity ofmail; and man is either a moral agentaltogether or not at all. Ho cannotbelieve that-, politically and economiccally, he is the prey of blind forces, hutthat he become* a responsible _ moralbeing as soon as he leaves Parliament'or his oEco and goes home to his wife

i and children ; that ho is a moral agentI when he gives sixpence' to a blind beg-'

i n; a r in the street, but not when heI pays wages or when he votes. That is

j A£r Shaw's contention, and it is obvi-! ouslv true. _ . .

"'if our society as it i- makes it im-

I possible for us to be Christian; iu ino-t! of our reI a'.ions v.ub each other, thenwo must eith :t try to change our so-

I eiety by political means or protend nolonger 'to believe in Christianity. Foreither the teaching of Christ i- in ec-eordance with the nature .of the uni-verse, in which caso it will work in allthings; or it is not, in which case it ismistaken, and wo had better dethronellim for Nietzsche. But, as Mr Shawcontends, our experience of other doc-trines in practice might not induce usto give the doctrine of Christ a trial:—

"'lt maybe that. Though nineteencenturies liovo passed sitKe Josu- wasborn, and though His C'hurch has notyet been founded, nor Hi-- political sys-tem tried, the bankruptcy ui all <>thersystems when audited by our vital stn-I'isiies, which give u; a tinr.l test tor allpolitical systems, is driving us hard intoaccepting Him, not as a. scapegoat, butas one who was much Jc.-s of a fool inpractical matters tlian we have hithertoall thought Him.'

'•"A CHRISTIAN IX ?PTTE OF 1IILM.SEI.i-."

Tha " Nation,'' reviewing Mr Shaw'spreface, also suggests that ha is aChristian iu spile of himself. "MrShaw's present-men? tails short of pcei'obeauty; he has 'come to Jcsu.' kvideas rather than fot\.e Per-en, ar.d forthat- reason tome of the best trait:- es-cape him."

USED TO IT.

Mr Payne started out to enioy a. 5-ptnon Irs motrr not long ago. Ho got onsmoothly until he had got well to thooutskirts of tho city, rather far froma car line, then the motor, actuatedby motives that only motors know, de-cided that it had gone far enough.It stopped, and no of levers orturning or cranks was sufficient to in-duce it to go farther.

After fruitless efforts to get it tochange its mind. Mr Payne climbedfrom his seat and worked around the-machine. Nothing seemed to do anygood, and ho was rapidly getting intoa state that is relieved only by stronglanguage. However, tho struggleswith the motor had attracted a goodsized company of children, and JHrPayne did nothing worse than think.Tho children's interest grew as themotorist tinkered. Among them was alittle girl with long golden hair anddeep blue eyes. She crowded close toMr Pavno as he worked.

Finally he became so exasperatedthat it seemed as if he really mustsay something. Ho turned to the littlegirl.

'•'l wish you would run away, littlegirl," he remarked.

"■WhyP" sho asked, looking up athim.

Perhaps he wished to tell tho truth,perhaps he only wished to see whattho little girl would do. At any rate,he said to her, quite frankly, "I wantto swear."

"Go ahead," replied the child ;"dou't mind me. My father has amotor too."

KITCHENER'SCHARACTER.

HOW THE NATION MAY DOHII HONOUR.

(By an Intimatfi Friend, in the "StJames's Gazotto.")

For nearly thirty years Herbert Kit-rhencr was my closest fTieud. We metin a tent near MHomneh on a scorch-ingday in the middle eighties. Howassitting at an improvised table, with hislegs crossed, the tent flans bent back,his vision a waste of hot sand. Beforehim was a heap of work, over which howas studiously bending. The Nile Ex-pedition was ended, and wechatted tillsundown. To mo, then, he appearedshy and intensely reserved, but out ofthat meeting sprang a friendship whichI shall treasure as tho greatest privilegoof njy life. Hitii all restraint, I wishto write as he would have mo write atthis moment—if, indeed, anything mayba written. Of his brilliant career, Iwould rather say nothing. Of himselfI fain would writo more than I dare,for to mo he was not alone a bravo sol-dier, and a marvellous organiser, but agreat gentleman and a very great man.I saw himat every phase in his life whileho was emerging to the climax ol bispublic usefulness—Dongola, Khartoum,South Africa and India. Wo oftenchummed together in Egypt. I havechatted often with him behind thoscenes of this gigantic conflict fortwenty months or more, and in the pre-sence of this distressing tragedy, whichthe whole Empire mourns to-day, onemay unconsciously bo tempted to assigna value different from that which onesets 1 when a career is in historic per-spective. I shall bo pardoned, for 1mourn my friend.

He leaves an example of duty whichshould be an inspiration to tho wholeEmpire in its sorrow at his passing.Could he but speak., there would be nomourning in his voico. His sonso ofduty was ovor tco great, his vision toolarge, his patriotism too sweeping; foridlo tears. To tho world he was re-lentless, unsparing, unflinching in thepath of duty: but the world did notknow Herbert Kitchener as he discip-lined himself. If perchance his swiftdecisive judgments withered inefficiency,to none was he so harrh, so unsparing,so cruel as to himself. He had anamazing facility for standing out ofhimself not in the smalluess of mereself-criticism, but in an almost inex-plicable introspection and self-discip-line which in wo:k ho undertook laidthe greatest burden on himself.

He was an inspiration to all whoknew him intimately. During thirtyyears I never saw him "busy " as smal-ler men are. About him thero was no-thing of the spirit of fuss. Ho seemedby intuition, to move to tho end' ofthings with lightning swiftness. Thedegrees by which they should ho at-tained he worked out with almost pain-ful care and thoroughness. Years be-fore lie avonged Gordon at Omdur-man I recollect him ouiiiuing tho end.I did not grasp it at the moment. Isaw it clearly years after. By whatmeans did he attain that end? By con-centration and araaaiug assiduity. InIndia his keenly a'ualystic mindpioreced the weakness of our Armysystem almost " in a night." Hesaw the end to bo achieved,and set himself to accomplishit The North-"\Vcst Frontiei Army•conditions to-day are his memorial.

When the present gigantic coufliHopened, with unerring accuracy he snrwhither it would lead us, before the

nation or the majority of its lendersgrasped the fringe of this enoimity.His mind was a wonderf'zl example ofindependenra and receptivity. It hadan extraordinary—almost a passiona.te—capacity for fashioning rudo materialinto duo form. At York House, in hisroom at tho War Office, and in my ownstudy I havo sat and watched its play—-sat " in conversation " without speak-ing for ten minutes at "a time. Therowas absolutely no " gnrlwgo" aboutthe play of his intellect. With such acareer; having met and handled men;having touched tho four corners of thodlobe; baling had a wealth of all kindsof experience, ho rarely indulged inreminiscence, and never in tho smalltalk or mere sentiment of lifo. 'What-ever was bc-foro him occupied him.

WHILE OTHERS SLEPT.I wonder if the public who viewed

him as an inscrutable organiser everrecognised what that meant. Here wasa man set in the highest position, withterrible, almost overwhelming, respon-sibility thrust upon him. Yet he re-mained frugal, pnnctilious, persever-ing and fill, taking work for his recrea-tion and the highest patriotism for hisideal. WhJlo London slept, far into thonight tho little silver lamp on his studytablo burned. He had visualised thoarmies; and ho knew their weaknessand their wants. Tho great work hehad willingly laid his hand io was everin his grasp. The resultant man afteryears of harsh, self-dieciplino was nsimple thing of human genius. X havebfcen amazed with his capacity foiignoring the non-essential things whichleapt up to impede him. To tho super-ficial obsorver ho had the mathemati-cal brain, the pigeon-holed and " com-partmeuted '' mind—a dissector draw-ing deductions and building 'and fash-ioning on them.

But he also Lad imagination andvision well under control and rarelycolouring his actions, while enlargingthem and putting them into a truerperspective. Ho rigidly did the day'swork in <he day. Ho was an arrest-ing completeness, not depending onothers, though using them for the_ ondin view. Ido not believe that his greatachievements were ever the result ofelaborato theories, but the applicationto the work in hand of J '«"' strong com-mon sense ho possessed—'a combinationof sanity and high principlo. Hisaloofness may have had results he neverdesired, but in recent years I haddetected the growth of a moro pronounc-ed conciliatory tone, that mellowed acertain critical vein to which ho rarelygave rein, but which was always appar-ently there.

Were I to attempt to assess myfriend as I know him as a man and as)a great public servant. I should saythat ho was tie embodiment of sim-plicity, and that he brought hia ownseasoning to tho plain fare, of dutyunconsicously by self-discipline. Hehad no faithless terrors about whatshould bo. He never recognised a posi-tion with panic, for .in the backgroundwas always tho residue of hopo. Therowas ever tho determination to do thobest with courago and sincerity underall conditions. He leaves a splendidexample for the nation, and an inspira-tion to go unhccdingly towards our

not standing in tho etreets tosorrow, but; to lay hands on duty as»o laid them. And if in doing that wohesitate for a- moment silently to salutehis memory and pass to our work forvictory, the great soldier and gentle-man wlwrn we mourn will have boenhonoured as he wished.

Advertising is thequickest way of making an articleknown to the Public. Quick Acquaintance makesQuicker Sales, and Quicker Sales enable both. .

Manufacturer and Retailer to sell on a SmallerMargin of Profit, because of Greater Output.

That advertised Footwear may be dearer, then, is notbecause it is advertised, but simply because it is

Up to tho present, how-ever, no satisfactory reply has been re-ceived. It a felt that tho time willIk> so limited that it will bo impossibleto- do anything to entertain tho troops,arid besides there is a strong feelingthat the men should bo allowed at leastan hour's liberty, so as to enable themto mingle with their friends and rela-tives.

This morning, Dr Thacker, M.P.. whohas interested himself in thematter,sent the following telercrain to the Min-ister of Defence, the Hon James Allen:

"Will you arrange for 'he Unionsteamers to leave Wellington two hoursearlier on Tuesday and Wednesday,thereby giving our soldiers two hoursmore leaveThoy could then be dis-missed for that two hours. This wouldgive estra joy to all'our citizens."

AMUSEMENTS." FRANCE ON THE FIRING USE,"

A private view of the. big film," Franco on the Firing Lino,'- ' whichwas taken for the French Govern-ment, was given to Chri&tehurch Press-men yesterday iu the King's Theatre,apd the picture proyed to bo all thatthe management had claimed for it.From start to finish tho picture wasintensely interesting, and every actionbore the impress of authenticity. Thomost remarkable action, taken in afrout-lino trench, showed German shellsbursting among tho entanglements,and, when tho gunners had got thorange, wiping out scows of gallantFrench soldiers in their awful ex-plosions. A large section of the pic-ture showed the actual fighting round-Yerdiiu. .and the uppnlhr.*; desolationcaused by tho myriads of .shells hurledinto the town was strikingly depicted.Tho picture shows war as it is, aud therealism of tho scenes has not been, ap-proached in any war iilms previouslyshown in this city. The fdm forms amost comprehensive record of tho workof tho French army. Besides thomany awful scenes of carnage, the pie-tpro gives an excellent impression of.tho, beautiful countryside of France,and contains a number of very effectivescenes of troops mobilising and on thomarch. "Franco on tho Firing Lino"will bo shown at the King's Theatre fora short season commencing to-night ateight. o'clock. Tho box plan is attlio Bristol.

SIXTY YEARS MARRIEDOCTOGERAIIANS' DIAMOND

WEDKNG.PIONEERING HARDSHIPS.

TTio Dnnncvirko " News " of AugustID oays:—

To-day an event oi' inoro than pars-ing interest took plaeo in Daimovirko—tho celebration of a diamond wed-ding, in which two well-known andrespected erstwhile pioneer residents ofthe Const were tho central figures.-After sixty years of matrimony, duringwhich time they have roughed it to-gether, and experienced the downs andup* of life in the Old Country and inthe, Dominion, Mr and Mrs H. Wilfinyiithe.ri.~d around them at their resi-dence in .Salisbury Street their chiid-rou and grandchildren in celebration ofthe- event. They are ;i remarkablecouple in many respects. 3Lr Wiffinwill bo eighty-two years of age next,December; his wifo will be eighty-threeat the end of Ovlober; and despitetheir great age time has not dealt

I unkindly with them. Yesterday, whena ".News" representative visited them,.Mr Wiffin was engaged in tho erectionof a shelter fence, working as well asmany a man of half his years, whilohis

*

J.ife-long partner demonstratedsimilar youthfulness to her bettor half.They aro both apparently halo andhearty, arid enjoying tho pleasures andcompensations of a well-earned rest.

The story of their pioneering aud'oarly struggling makes illuminatingreading at the present day. Thoyrushod into matrimony sixty years agoat Blandford, Dorsetshire, when thohead of the household' was earning thohandsome salary of J2s a week! Thoydecided to quit the Old. Country to trytheir fortunes in Mew Zealand, audhfty years ago sot sail for 'these ehofps'in the. Shaw Saviil sailing ship Aste-rope. landing at Vellington, at whichtime their worldly cash possession wasin the immediate vicinity of throefarthings. After a stay of a week intho capital they went up to Castle-point and stayed on Mr T. Guth-rie's station there for fivo yeare.At tho end of that period thoycamo further north —to Blatailuina,and here their hardships began-Mrs. "Willi n had the misfortune tobreak an arm .iust abovo tho wrist.There wefo no means in those days ofgetting medical attention with thefacility of the present day, so MrWiiiin assumed the role of doctor,bound up tho fractured limb with twopieces of bark aud a piece of flax, andwith the aid of cold water immersiontho bones eventually knitted —but tlioarm to thin day bears evidenco of itsprimitive medical treatment. At thistinio Mrs Wiffiu had,a baby ten weeksold. They put up in tho old shantyat Aohanga ferry, and after a couple ofweeks struck off 10 miles inland, takingup a position on Sutherland's estato.After staying there a little while thoymoved to Wainui —now known asllerbertvillo, and Mr Wiffin took to thebush, sawing and splitting tliero forabout fifteen yearn. After this ill",Wiflin took up a block of land, start-ing on it with about £3O, lent himby his son, got the bush down and pnta' few sheep on it. The neighbourshelped, and Mr Wiffin and his sonstuck to each other nutil his son drewa s-cction at Ngapaeruru, where ho isstill residing. Mr WifSn, sen., carriedon sheep farming for about eighteenyears at Wimbledon, and retired about1005, when he and his wifo wontabroad—to America and' England,amongst other places—and enjoyed ahard-earned holiday. Mr Wiffin hasexperienced none of tho ailments towhich the average mortal can layclaim—no indigestion, no headaches, norheumatism, hfs only trouble, and thatrecently, having been bronchitis.

"Wo had a good uumy hardships inthe early days." said Mr Wiflin.People now arc talking about the costof living, but thoy do notknow any-thing about a struglgo for existence."

•' Broad «'ns lOd a loaf when wo gotmarried," chimed in Mrs Wiffin, witha smile.

'•'lt is not the cost of living, butthe way people aro living," continuedMr Wifan. " When 1 landed in Castle-point I was £SO in debt. A workmanin ths Old Country had not murhchance to save £SO. I wont on a sta-tion for £1 a week, and paid off thedebt in two years, and came, up thecoast with a free hand. I started towork at eight years of age for thehandsome sum of Is 6d a week, andhad to pay out of it for all I ateandhad to pay out of it for all I ato andworr. I got married on 12s a week andthought I had everything I wanted."

Mr Wilfhi, who was brought up as anorphan, served his apprenticeship in theGicl Country as a pit sawyer, and tellswith a note of satisfaction how he un-dertook a walk of 40 mile* across Salis-bury Plains in quest of work, startingwith -"d iu his pocket and some breadand cheese. He tramped it, leavinghis wife to follow when his fortunes im-proved, gave half of his ninepence toa tramp ho met on the way, and ar-rived at his destination with twopencein bis pocket—not n had performance,as lio himself remarked. "I think webare got a In to be thankful for."r.tided Mr AVilfin. "T never troubledmy head. If anything went wrong womado the b<v,t of it. and nrot over, itthe best way we could. Tins was hot-ter than moping over it. Whentroubles appeared wo fought themaway."

GHOSTS STILL LINGERIN BYRON'S HOUSE.

■ Not lent; .150 (says a writer in " TV..?Times") I-dined i :; Byron's old boi'.so,13, Piccadilly Terrace, or "The Tor-race, Piccadilly," as bo wonid ■nKf-tiroes uSaae i', ivv. h Hobbou-c <;ot forhim, from ihc Bi:b"s.s cf r.ta rental cf £7OO. • It. is hauntedground, though 110 c the whole or it re-mains.

But it'still tingles ncl vibrates withall flow compressed eHnmxes of pa ;.-£ioa which happened from tho night,when hither'he brought liis bride ofthree months at the c!o\p of March.181-5, to the day, towards the dose oftho.next year's April, when he shoo:*the dust oil his foot (and heart) on theshores which ho Jorc-d, and departednever to return.

It seemed like standinc before someroagic mirror. Insensibly 0m 1

back into the past. Only the • loctrivlight, n rnnrbio staircase' and au un-obtrusive I'.it are whollv modern.

The noble rooms appenr little chang-ed. The preen dining-room still boastsits fine Adam ceiling. In the panoLs cfthe library is still sot that .speaking yetunfamiliar portrait—.the very portrait,perhaps, by Phillip?, of which aboutthis tirno ho wrote—or may it he byHarlow?—to Murray.

THE UNHAPPY LADY.His largo bedroom on the first floor

is now a drawing-room. Miny a night.1 was told, its impnssive-lootniip door-olemnly opens and an unseen presence;cenis to enter.

1 witnessed, the fact myself, howeverit may bo explained, and I fancied thatI heard a strago patter of footstepsin.the embrasure by the hi,r window atthe end.I stood in thsvery study where Lady

Byron found l.im ono morning moodi-lv. immersed in bills—baplv some billotstlonx amo tig tlierj.

Do I bore you:"' she had asked.'■ Damnably," was the curt answer;In -this very room she had received

the Stot-hard drawings that Murraysect'her to Byron's pleasure, and boreshe had been tho poet's amanuensis for

The Bride of Corinth" and Paris-ina "—in both of which some autobio-graphy may be traced.

■Tbeso very walls, toe, may have re-echoed his pistol shots. Here, too,had repaired the much older Coleridge,to crave an assistance gladly and oftenRiven at a moment when" tho opiumhabit was gaining on hiia.

Byron, too, had helped Coleridge twoyears earlier to {:ct his " Remorse " per-formed—that poetical tragedy withwhich many years earlier tho hard hadtramped up from West Country toLondon and laid before tho forgetfulSheiidan.

Here, too, moro than onco_

LeighHunt will havo foregathered with By-ron, and here, much - oftenor, Moore.ind Rogers—tho songster-singer and"the banker-poet. . Hero. now _ andagain, maybe, Sheridan in addition.PROMPTED THE NAME ALLEGRA.

And here, from tho birth of hisdaughter in December to tho flight ofhis wife, how often and how anxiouslywill Augusta-, tho sister of his heart,havo sought to guide and soothe andconsult him, as well as ho whose dearestItie.nd sho still was held to be?

Hero:al^camo-very different visi-tors—bailiffs, duns; and, when thevictim was absent, that Mrs Clermont,"IJorn in a garret, in a kitchen bred,"whom Lady Milbauko brought up inher train to assist her m detection.

.And,. last -of all, Jane Clairmont,that wild muse of passion, at onceshameless and shame-faced, intellectualand unrestrained.

Hpre, when Lady Byron had gone,and; after-.a.long bombardment of suc-c^iy<^..3Jidi!self-rc»-ea|in£ sliohad .penetrated_*at last-^though sho hadto wait for his-permission to enterhard ,by ia Hamilton Place-

Who can. forget the sad, eventfulhistory of the following year, when, to-gether with tho Shelleys, she trackedhim to the Lake of Geneva and thatMontallegre which may havo promptedthe name of tho child Allcgra—now atrest -in tho_ Harrow of which ho wasso fond, which she herself h.-id suggest-ed. as their secret trystirig*piaee?

Itere, too. surely-,ho* must have pen-ned that parting note to Lady Byron,severing them in all "worlds forever,wh ; ch so clashes with tho tear-stained■'.Fare thee well" that hero also hewill have written amid tho wreckageof his household gods.

_

But it was just, at this crash of crisisthat he was most active on the commit-tee ofcDrury Lane. Even at Jus mosttrn£ie or oper.atic- moments his school-hoy sense of fan, his sparkling wit andrich humour, never forsook him. .

He actually came ou as a youngblood in - a scene at' the pantomime.;and this-is how bo writes of tho diffi-culties that- in tliis sphere beset him:

Thon tho scenes I had to gothrough! the authors and the auth-oresses, and the milliners, and tho wildIrishmen. • • Glover's father,at: Irish dancing master of sixty years,cailinpc on me to request to play Archer,dressed in silk stockings on a frosCymorning to show his lees (which worecertainly good and Irish for his ape andhad been still better); Miss EmmaSomebody with a play entitled '' TheBandit of Bohemia, or. some such title.

. Mr O'Higgius, thea resident atKiehir.ond, with an Irish tragedy inwhich The unities could uot fail to beobserved, for the protagonist was.chained by the leg to a pillar duringtho chief part of tho performance.

Then there was Sheridan in his .un-reined age alter dunier:

. .To irown all, Kinmtird andI had to conduct Sheridan down af-orkscrcw staircas3 tyhieh had certain-l- beep discovered before the discovery

-fcj-meniei liquors, and to whichno lees, however crooked, wild pos-sih'.y •'"accommodate themselves. \Vodeposited him safo at hon:>\ where hi;nan, evidently used to the business.United to receive him in the hall. . ."

(joint; out into tho night air and re-»urnins to the war-world of to-dav.hc.w altered, yet how changeless. theworld seems. It is the finer ind nob-ler part of Byron' that endures andIW crers. tho passion for liberty, the re-: ol - c ' to rise above fate, the somethinga«monw tri'iE-pbin? ever despair—-

they moo'i ba'.v to be educated unlessvo'.i want to ru:u tboni. When voulearn KafH-; to write, first no off theyinrt.'o your name, or e! :e someone else's.-Not ,-june w-ongly in their own. mind,I'Tau.'-e a Kafiir has a funny mind. Ittakes a lot 0/ unu'Tstandiiu; 1 hare1.-'icl heaps to do uitb them, and still1 don't really understand quite nilthat is in ibeir mind. A Kaffir lias i.ot,pot a conscience like a white manlie has one, but it •> a different sort,for instance, a boy won't su-al fromyou if bo ivusts yon, but be will stealfrom your brr.ther, and think nothingof it (piovideci :ic is not educated, itso ho will sre.il Irani Inth).

Ju.r, tT,-t a boy called Jonas one?.Kafiir name, 1 believe, Impel u Ka

but mesi hoys, especiallythieves, hate to id re away their na-tive name-), end he got pock-marks ouhis nose, bad teeth (.showed h»* drank),and a lot of previous convictions. Thatboy was known as a bed thief, eatMecr anything else. Hut he worked for•11:0 months on end, nnd never stole.I ured to leave money in my room,

and once T missed lot, which 1 for-got in the pocket of my trousers. _ I''was scared. I tell you. By and by :that boy Jonas conies op, and I sayto him : "D'vou see any money of minoabout, Jonas," in English, just iikothat, and lie says, ' By , yes"'(beer.use ho learnt English in the mines—which is all swear words). "My putit.lapa lo wyeia " (meaning under myspring mattress).

Yet scon after that I sent that boyto take a message to a fripnd in theUmga Binrict, just below the I)rak-ensb'crg. He rides my pony, and Jindsthe gen!lonian airay. Believo mo ernot, but ho slept in the ir,entlonvan'sbed that night, drunk his brandy, . ntl Icomes back very happy with some ties jin the saddle bags. I never knew jabout it till I found some new ties inmv drawer, and long after I foundJonas had stole them as a present for |mo! 1"WILD KAFFIR"' A GOOD OXE.

say it is very hard to llud out aKaffir's conseien-ce. For instance, attho store, sometimes after the woo! sea-son, Thou I had been selling a gooddeal to travellers and got a lot of cashin hand, I don't, want perhaps to rideeighteen miles in to the bank. So Icall a Kaffir in from the crowd that'ssitting most times outside the st».rc.1 mustsay, I won't choose a young manwho might be tempted, perhaps bysome seduction, but an old, wild one,with grey hair. Every .wild old KalSris a good man. I say to him. will hego to the hank with some money for meand I'll give him tobacco, and be verycareful, 'uecauso it's a lot of moneyand worth a hundred head of cattle (or,perhaps 1 will say, live hundred, whichmakes him more careful still). He says"Y.es," ho will go, and then T knowray money is safe. But perhaps hemight steal tho bank malinger's clog orhen. • • s

Not-an educated Kaffir,-'though. Ionce .know an umfaan got sent toschool, and after he learnt to wriiowas given a job ill a town. He workedsomo. weeks, and saw cheques andthings, and soon he stole one. Nowho just knew enough to see that when,they got .a cheque they used to en-dorse it,.so he goes along to the bank,and writes across the back of the oneho had, " Mr .Bank, .please.give it tothis good boy that fivo pouiwh. - ' Hogot caught; of course, "but jusr. sluv.vsyou what they think.

When you are with Kaffir? a iofcyou liavc to be mighty careful to keeptheir respect. You must i>e tho whituman all tho time. Some white men i:itlio wilds can't- do this. and they turninto Kaffirs. and soon go to lieii. Forinstance, itis quite true t'irfc a whiteman must net sit with Kaffirs. T readthat. in a -South African hook. and itis one 'of the only true, sensible thingsI ever did read in' a South Africanbook. They said when Kaffirs aresquattinc: rour.d 'a fire a. white manmust sit on something. It is quiretrue. .and even a paraffin.box can easilykeep up the- respectability of the race.

HOW TO BEAT THE KAFFIR.Whin a Kaffir is with a white man.

ho must know .v,-hen lie conies second,and the white raau is best at every-thing. That is why you should not.play with knobkerries or assegais, be-cause you will be beaten. _lf I everwanted to r;m against a Kaffir I al-ways chose one who was a bit slow, andto 'ight one I wouldn't use a stick, butmy hands. Let rile Kaffir come at .vouwith his sticks, run in under, kick himin the stomach and then hit him veryhard in two or three places quickly.Yon will pet him beat-, as lone; as yonfcok hi.n in the eyes a!? the .time, andtbn other bovs will sa\ von are N'kulu(f'.vai-t.

The only dangerwas being tried for manslaughter,. asthen sometimes the jury pot confusedwhen the Judge said tlioro was differ-ent degrees of it, and thought it wassafe to say a man committed a mildsort.

GERMANY'S LOST COLONY.

GREAT MINERAL RESOURCES.NAIROBI, May 4.

In one respect, at least, the Got manshave heon of great use to GeneralSmuts iu his campaign in German -bast.Africa. Thcv had prepared splendidmaps of the country, which have provedinvaluable to our troops. \\ ithoutthem tlio advance would have boonmuch delayer!, lor it would have beennecessary to spy out tho hind andmako maps. Now a route can be de-cided upon with the sure knowledge,that tho information on tho enemy skartell is fairly reliable. Tho scale islarge, about 4* miles to tlio inch; anatlioro are shown all towns, villages,railways, roads lit for light wheeledtraffic," tracks, telegraph wires alongroads, heights of hills and mountains,mission stations, and indications givenregarding p),ic°s in low country whichis often nwamnv in rainy weather.

But in addition 'to tho Ordnancemaps on a large scale, there arc other*,showing the potentialities ot tho coun-try. On these, aro put down the re-sults of systematic prospecting, underGovernment supervision, as rcgan;.;mineral wealth ; agricultural and plantwealth; distribution of animals, bothwild and domestic; and tho distiibu-tion of the population. The mineralresources of any oouutry, especially anow one, arc

4ahyays a source of inter-

est. tor it is on such" that .tao-.lounda-tious of groat. States, such as Australiaard 'California. New Guinea, and he-publics of .Southern America have been[aid. And in this regard Gorman bastAfrica is rich. Gold has been found,both quartss and alluvial, as have alsolead and copper depots; graphite,coal, both hard and lignito; bitumen,mica, granite, agates and amethysts;and kaolin and springs, hot, salt andmedicated, have been discovered m se-veral different parts..

MINERAL RESOURCES.Gold is practically confined to tho

district* of Muansi suiu lahonv, a is-tricts which border on A ictoria .Nyan-za The Bismarck reefs are at Bituncl-we, near the head (if the Eniin I ashaGulf and in tho iron-ore lands aroundKaii"ura aro others. There is anothersmall field a little to the west of. tlioroad from Tabora- to_ -Muansa, ]ust.|where the projected railway Into fromTabora north is shown on Germanmaps as running througn an iron held ,-and another series ot reefs.is at ■Ssan-uvo. and a little to the south of these,in tho stream- that mark the begin-ning of the river flowing into NvarasaLake, alluvial gold is shown as bring

well distributed. Due cast ot thes'ao-nin, ab.iut thirty-five miles distantanother s--.fies is known to exist, Goldhas been discovered at- Ken'deliwiio. onthe headwaters of the Mbalagati, whichflows into S|>eko Gulf, and traces otthe precious metal have, ooen found atUssona and Iramba.

Xo diamondiferous ground has beenreported, hut agates and amethystshave been found near Ujiji (.about fiftymiles to tho south-oast), tho terminusof tho Dar-cs-Salnam line on Lake Tan-ganyika.

Copper has been located at- -Massuissi,tho lead-oro at Kondoa-frangi, • whichwas lately captured by us.

But perhaps the most valuable oinil the finds" of minerals are those otiron and coal. Iron is very general inall parts, especially- in Munnsa, Taboraand" Ujiji districts, and railways havebeen projected to serve same: hut coalonly in two places, so far as iskrtowu. Lignite deposits have been lo-cated near Lindi, the most southerlyport on the Indian Ocean. Ceal righton tho edge of Lake Nyasa. and thereis another deposit jusi: insid'e the Gor-man border, where it joins NorthernRhodesia, at the top end of the NyasaLake. So valuable is one of the dis-coveries considered that it has beenmade the lake terminus of a projectedrailway from Kihva-Kiwindie.

' VALUABLE DEPOSITS.Kaolin at Bukoba.; saltpetre at Quas-

r-e-Nyiro: salt in Irinea and otherplaces: and bitumen on an island atthe north end of Tanganyika, are someof the other valuable deposits that ex-ist iit tho German sphere of Africa.Granite and limestone for buildingmust also be accounted valuable in acountry where the climate is both wetand hoi-.

In all parts of East Africa, both Bri-tish and German, extinct craters andother evidence of volcanoes are jo lieseen, and generally distributedthroughout aie hot and chemicalsprings, many of an acid nature. Lakesare plentiful, some sait or hrackfh,but others, like t'hala and VictoriaNyan/.a, aro of n perfect clearness andpurity. t'hala Lake is also of rarebeaut v.

Whether British or German EastAfrica is the more rich in minerals,soils, climates, etc.. it is impossible tosay at present. bu t . one tact, staudsout clearly. Germany has done muchto explore her territory. Concessionshave hern grsnfed for tho uurposo ofseeking what the country coutaj'nr., oneof which. Gold'syudicat Ivoneession fuorEd&lmiiie.raJien (Gok! Syndicate" Con-eession for Precious Metals), has beenworking in a large, area just south ofVictoria Vanza, and it i> there that theBismarck reefs and others have beendiscovered.

DUMA REDIVIVA.

THE SYMBOL OF A NATION'SAWAKENING.

(By HAROLD WILLIAMS, in tho j•'Daily Chronicle.")

PETROGRAD, May 7.The, Duma, has met again. It- seems

a simple thing that the big glass doors.should bo swinging open, the gendarmetouching his cap' as of old, and thattho elected mci from the towns andtho provinces of Russia should bo toss-ing their fur coats'to tho attendants,thrusting fingers through tumbled linir,and then hastening into tli > great pro-menade hall with the shining tloor togive a threefold kiss of greeting to theirfriends and a- reluctant handshake totheir enemies, and so on into the hallof session, to 101 l in their chairs andlisten to tho long, long speeches. Itseems all so simple, and to us wholive here under the shadow of theDuma, just, a litilo dull.

Ono sees the familiar faces, onoknows the little foibles and weaknesses,ono hoars the ceascle-is hum of goss:p,one. grows weary of the party disputes.There are a few perfectly simple andobvious things to hounite and do them.'' Why form abaker's dozen of parties in a House ot

.!,-,0 deputies? Why not r-ink all prr-sbnnl.and class, differences for the sakeof tho nation? A\ hy so carefully con-sider attitude, why so anxiously drawlines of demarcation why so ponder-onslv consider relations with the Leftor relations with the Right? No onecares. This is the mere by-plar otpolitics. This is mere .solemn trifling,good onlv for the notebooks of thelobby reporters. Ono sees all this andthe. heart- sinks. Tt is so easy to ima-

gine that there is nothing bcyonu-

A GREAT AWAKENING.But the whole point is that there

is a bevoud, and that without the far-surrounding atmosphere ot Russia, theDuma is nothing. The Duma is not,tho Taurida Palace, not the; borediVes in the lobbies. That pale Arm-

tion's suffering. ,At the beginning ot the. war tho

Dema, in an outburst, of patriotic en-

thusiasm, decided to postpone its settle-ment of accounts with the Governmentuntil alter tho war was over. It gavetho Government carte b'anehe. Jn thename of the nation, it declared, "'Leadus to victory, live up to the greatnessof the moment and we will supportyou." The Government proved un-w,)i"lliv of this franic confidence. Thenation, did its best, checktd and snub-bed at every turn, but steadily over-riding obstacles. I he complete eohapseof confidence in the Government came,

with tho lialician retreat. Tho nationexpressed its indignant determinationto win m an energetic munitions cam-paign. .The Government made some at-tempt* at reparation. The most ob-noxious Ministers wero jettisoned, in-cluding the War Minister. Sukhonuin-off, whose professions of preparednesshad proved so disastrously wanting.Tho Duma was summoned, and thedeputies met in a, new spirit. Theysank party differences, and formed aProgressive Bloc, from which only thereactionaries and the Socialists held out.The bloc adopted as its programme thecommonplaces oi reform, and demandedthe formation of a Cabinet enjoying theconfidence of the nation. Then the Gov-ernment again took fright at the grow-inn strength of the Duma ; the bureau-cratic monopoly in government ,sec-m-

---od to 1.0 rapidly slipping away: theDliliia ua s iui-tijy dissolved, and u-v-

oral of tho Ministers who stood forreform resigned. Tho nation was bit-terly disappointed, but in the interestsof the army, refrained from any vio-lent demonstration of its feelings.

TRIUMPH OF THE DUMA.For. fivo mouths tho Government

tried to Oo -without the Duma. Underthe able direction of the new War Min-ister, General PoJivanoff, tlio muni-tions campaign was vigorously main-tained. But the economic organisationof the country fell into hopeless andperfectly unwarranted confusion. TheGovernment again mado abortive at-tempts to thwart tho national effortby pettifogging repressive measures.The nation maintained its self-controlbecause it was determined to win thewar. and nothing is move remarkablethan the way in which this big, doggedand determined effort to win hasstrengthened tho national will power.Tn face of fresh problems of growingurgency, the Government again yieldedground. .Mr Goremykiu resigned, andthe Duma was summoned once more.Nov.-. tlio Duma is stronger than everin the support of the nation. And itis a hopeful sign that tho Czar, whohas felt, the breathing of tho greatspirit of the people at tho front, hasrecognised the union between the na-tion and tlio Duma by visiting theTanrida Palace at the opening of tliosession. The problems ahead are diffi-cult, irul in the Duma itself, apartfrom n small group of reactionaries,there is little difference of opinion onthe main issues. These are, first, thedemand for a Cabinet enjoying ihe con-fidence of the ration. Tbero are somegood Ministers now, but tnev are at thehead of departments having little to dowith-tho conduct of internal affairs.Secondly, tho complete liberation of thenation's energies for the prosecution ofthe war. this involving a completeabandonment of tho bureaucracy's at-titude of suspicion and hostility topublic, initiative, and a reform of tholocal government franchise. Thirdly,

jfair treatment of the nationalities.Tho programme sounds humdrum in

I the stormlight of this time. But thoseI who know Russia know that its real-

: isaiion will mean that in the terribletrial of war the new and creatorRussia lias at last come to birth.

THE MERCHANT SAILOR.Tho eplendid deeds of tho Royal

Navy in the war havo overshadowedtho work of our meroantilo marine,nevertheless there aro frequent stirringepisodes which usefully remind theBritish peoplo of tho enormous servicewhich lias been carried on throughouttwo years of fighting by tho men of themerchant fleet. Tho recent fight of thoGlasgow steamer Strathness with a Ger-man submarine iu tho Mediterranean,which resulted in tho sinking of thoenemy craft by tho steamer's six-poundor, is only ono of a long series ofthrilling oncounters in which our mer-chant sailors havo displayed a readi-ness to give battlo equal to tho skilland resourcefulness ftnd unceasingvigilance needed, in the discharge oftheir daily duties. It is not long sincetho passenger liner City of Marseilles,0110 of tho great Ellerman fleet, emerg-ed with success from a battle with asubmarine off the coast of Sardinia;she fired eight shots with her stemgun and the submarine disappeared,visibly damaged. Tho story of theClan Mactavish going down fightingwith tho "old red ensign" still flyingis more tragic, but a still more glori-ous illustration of tho grand spirit that-animates tho British sailorman. AsAdmiral Lord Beresford told the publicin an address the other day, tho mer-cantile marine is now a' fighting ser-vice. It is called upon, in addition toits ordinary trading work, vastly in-creased by the war, to reinforce theRoyal Navy, to furnish men for patrolwork and for mine-sweeping, two ofthe most dangerous of services, and todefend its ships by means of tho lightarmament now placed on board manysteamers by the Admiralty. The Britishofficer's skill and tho strain npon hisphysical and mental powers are testedon thousands of ships as they neverhavo been tested before, and magnifi-cently thoy have -withstood the trial.Tho merchant shipping runs a fargreater danger than the fighting ehip»and transports, sinco it is impossibleto provide convoys, as in tho old days,for the huge ileots of trading vessels,and these ships, steam and sail, mustfor tho most part rely upon them-selves.

. libovo and bolow decks the gallantryiand devotion to duty which wo taksas a matter of course in tho Royal"Navy 31m distinguish the officers and

r men of our merchant shipping. ■ln the•danger jcess tiw men wL» are below6tokinp Hm and theengines winking arc aver literally faceto face with death in a horrible form.Tho bursting of a steam-pipe, a shotpenetrating tho boiler, would involvethem in a fearful disaster, and thatwithout tho least warning, since thepractice of tho barbarous enemy isto fire at sight on merchant craft. Ondeck,"in an armed steamer, there is atleast the compensation of getting in ashot at tho enemy, and tho exploits ofpome of our British officers and men inthis novel work deserve to livo in his-tory with the story of tho Navy'striumphs and to take their place in thonational sea literature alongside theheroic deeds of tho old-timo merchant-men. In the old wars with Franco andwith America many a merchant shipsucceeded in beating off a foe,. oftenmore heavily armed, and there wereoccasions on which the sturdy Britishtrading seaman did not heeitato toattack a Navy ship. Every merchant-man of that era was willing and eagerto fight in protection of his ship andpassengers and cargo, and the samedauntless spirit to-day possesses allranks of our marine, a vastly largerand moro valuable service and onewith which the very existence ofBritain is intertwined more closely thanwas dreamed of a hundred years ago.

.Admiral Lord Beresford, himself ainan-o'-war seaman of more than halfa century's service, boro testimony withsailorly downrightness in his recentspeech at tho annual meeting of theMercantile Marino Service Association,ia Liverpool, to tho wonderful work ofthe officers and men of the tradingfleet, "with up advertisement, but withplenty of danger, requiring all thequick decision, tho readiness of resourceand tho independence of action In-separable from the British seaman."Ha summarised the performances whichtho mercantile marine had added to itsordinary carrying work—a work whicShad hugely increased since tho war—-such as tho safo transport of morethan four million combatants, a millionhorses and males, and three milliontorn of stores over tho sea. Over onethousand two hundred officers and menof the mer«intile marine had given up-their lives in their country's cause sincetho war began; of these eighty-eightwere officers. And that the Govern-ment had not hesitated to reward mer-chant officers for their special serviceswas proven by the fact that nearly ahundred bad received honoure orspecial mention for promotion, andthree of themiad earned that gloriousdecoration, tho Victoria Cross. Theveteran Admiral did not stint his ex-pressions of admiration for tho pluckymen who keep Britain's trade com-munications going fearless of sub-marine, cruiser or mino, and who areready and glad to fight whenover thechance offers. It is pleasant to readhis whole-hearted praise, and cheeringto think that the Empire's sea-bornebusiness is in tho hands of such men,

a class whoso devotion to duty—toooften but poorly recompensed—andlore of country burn with as clear aflame as in tho heroes of the RoyalNavy.

Tbero are indications, too, that thowar has awakened the British auth-orities to the necessity for permanentlyguarding the mercantile marina againstth# foreigner. The danger that layin granting certificates to aliens asofficers of British ships has long beenpointed out by our seafarers and theiradvocates. Before the war, not onlywere foreigners, espocially Germans,allowed to man, officer and commandBritish ships, but Britishers were put

out of positions to make wo 11 lor ,

for economy's sake. YiV luvc 1something of this even keiv. on tl:<sNew Zealand coast and in tin- ScufiiSea. Islands trade. Since the oTit.-break of tho war tho Board oi Trade,tlio Admiralty and Lloyd's have.informed of very suspicions aeii/.-is mithe part of foreigners employed i n shinswhere British capital and British warsupplies are involved. At Inst, it. isteamed from London newspapers, itu>British Board or Trado has? issued anotico that no aliens, whether natural-ised or not, aro to be in, comina.nd oi'British steamers. This will IJ; > .-renclysatisfying to members 0 i tho profes-sion, especially to u.ose. v,ho hare suf-fered from tho influx tho cheapand dangerous alion, and it w emay hope, only the bocm-miiic; ofgeneral improvement in tho status andtreatment of tlio Bntis.t. jihtclumh6ailor of all grades.

RUMANIA'S PAST.Almost from tho day when' the. great

conflagration began its dr-stivuetivocourse, more than two years ago, therehas been much speculation r«;nin-th® attitudo of Romania, :i;:d l JO thsides have courted her most, jis-ud,"uou?ly.Many arguments have been adduced toshow why sho should throw m her lotwith the Allies, just as mar.y reasonshave been given to show that herfuture destiny is in the ki.eping of theCentral Powers. Innumerable missionshave gone to Bucharest to plead forintervention; all havo returned with-<Ait tho wished-for answer. Rumania'sposition has not been an onviablo one;powerful nations surround her, and, ofcourse, if sho had mado a lake stopat the outset, if she had '■ backed thewrong horse," it would have meant herundoing. 'For her own sake it. wasprobably fortunato that tho keeping oftha nation's destinies was not in thehands of tho Progressive leader, jr.Take Jonesco, as he would unquestion-ably havo at once plunged tho countryinto war. It can bo imagined whatwould have been the consequences hndRumania declared for the Allies whenthe Russians wero scaling the Car-pathian Passes before General vonMackensen's great thrust, which throwthe legions of tho Czar far back intotheir own country. Rumania wouldwithout tho shadow of a doubt havesuffered a similar fate to Belgium andSerbia, and it would ba difficult toimagine any more dreadful fate thanthat. However, Rumanian statesmensteered a wiso course, although thoAllies naturally felt exasperated, withthe result that to-day her borders arefree of the Austro-German armies, andthe nation is in a position to act.Whether she will or will not plunge intotho stmgglo cannot bo foretold, buteverything points to tho conclusion thatat the psychological moment, when theAllies give tho signal, she will step inthe arena, and if sho will do so heraction must seriously jeopardise thoposition of Bulgaria, as that faithlessand ungrateful nation -would find her-self between two great armies—one atSalonika and tho other at Bucharest.

The Rumanians arc generally re-ferred to as a .Balkan people, but thisis quite a mistake. They are Latinsin appearance, complexion, intelligenceand language; indeed, they aro moreLatin than the Italians, whom theyclosely resemble. Roughly spea'king,Rumania is about the same size asIreland, and has a population of be-tween seven and eight miLlions. Herpeople aro born fighters and she de-clared, not without reason, that it washp.<" soldiers fighting on; the side of theRussians at Plevna, that turned thetide of that battle in favour of Russia.Separated during tho Middle Ages intoMoldavia, and Valachia, sho had beenpounced upon by the Sultans, and forhundreds of years the people were com-pelled to live under the most objection-able of all kinds of protectorates.Naturally the people fretted underTurkish rule; and education, acquiredoutside the country, gradually made it-self felt. The better class of land-owners sent their sons to bo educatedin Paris, and a popular uprising oc-curred, as a result of which the twinStates of Moldavia and Valachia werecombined in one kingdom, a king ofthe Rumanians was elected, a constitu-tion proclaimed, and her independencewas recognised by the countries of thoContinent,. That was forty-eightyears ago, and from this it can be seenthat Rumania is till a juvenile 011 theroll of nations. Ten years after thenation camo into being tho Russo-Turkish War threw southern Europeinto tho crucible. By tho prelimin-ary Treaty of San Stefano the Turksceded to the victorious Russians someof their empire which they were unableto hold, and gavo away among otherprovinces Bessarabia, lying 011 thenorth and eastern side of Rumania.Tho Treaty of Berlin, signed in IS7S.provided that tho provinco of Dob-rudia, which had been ccdsd toRumania by the preliminary Treaty,should be immediately surveyed by a-commission, but when this commissionreported it recommended that Dobrudiashculd be handed over to the new Stateo Bulgaria, whicli should exist as '' anautonomous and tributary principalityunder tho suzerainity of the Sultan."For years Rumania consistently refusedto hand over the territory.

Years passed away; Rumania knewthat sho had not received a squaredeal," but Dobrudia was not worth awar. Then an unexpected thing oc-curred. Bulgaria renounced the su-zerainty of -Turkey and Ferdinand de-clared the independence of the coun-try over which ho ruled. That set-tled tho question for Rumania: a coun-try that refused to carry out its pro-mises as a vassal was unlikely to per-form them as a sovereign state. In aninterview which took place between thekinj£B of Rumania and Bulgaria afterthe outbreak of the Balkan war of fouryears ago, the lattor definitely pro-mised that if Rumania remained neutralthe debatablo landa would he handed'over immediately after the war. ButBulgaria's king, 113 usual, proved falsa,to his plighted word. Naturally the jRumanians were* exasperated, and in !July, 1913, they invaded Bulgarian (.»<- !ritory. The Balkan I. mvji- :

, the Tronhno, Italia Irredenta, almostwithin reach. Austria, far from beinga friend, had for years been tho commonenemy of both. For years the men ofBucharest had been pleading to theirfellow Rumanians living on tho ether:- : de of the Carpathians. They lead

| ilie life of serfs, and Austria has only| listened to one argument in ell history--that o-f the conqueror's sword. A pactwith Italy was drafted, tho terms ofwhich were first disclosed to Paris andnot to Berlin. It was for joint butnra necessarily simultaneous action ifAustria (having thoroughly upset thoBalkan status quo by her attack onSerbia) should refuse to restore tho dis-turbed balance- of power by with-holding territorial compensation. It isfor tho future to sec tho spectaculartight for the passes of thebut if organisation is worth anything,and if the Goutiment of a united peopleservos, tlici Rumanians should give apood account of themselves. Tho he-ginning of the war found Austria inthe belief that Serbia was worth no-thing,' saw Germany under the delusionthat the Belgians were negligible. Buttho day of the little State, derided byBismarck, is at last dawning, and thefusion or Rumania with Bukowina andTransylvania, a, fusion as natural asthat of England and Scotland, shouldweld Rumania together into one stable-mass that will provide for tho duodevelopment of the country's resources,mineral, pastoral, and agricultural, aswell as those leys notorial but equallyimportant developments that stand foriiuhistriaj, economic and social pro-gress.

THE BERBACLIERI.TYPES OF THE FAMOUS REGIMENT.

THE EXILE OF THEACADIANS.

ME.XRIES CF EVANGELINE.Thcro is perhaps no moro pathetic

story in American history than that ofthe simple Acadian farmers who weredriven from their homes at about thebeginning of the last French and In-dian war. They dwelt in peace andcomfort along tho north-western coastof tho peninsula, now known as NovaScotia, on lands they iiad inheritedfor generations from early French set-tlors; and when in 1713 France cededNova Scotia to Great Britain by theTreaty of Utrecht, they were allowed toremain there as French neutrals.

Gradually those, "ho were childrenwhen this famous 'treaty was madegrew to lie men and women; and thesimple virtuous 1 fc of tho happy valleyof Arcadia went on the same; v.h'.lernus;cetry rattled in New England andCanada. Although several attemptshad been made to plant English settle-ments among them, the French of NovaScotia far outnumbered tho English,so the thoughts of tho officers of KingGeorge naturally turned towards theseunwiliing subjects lodged on Britishterritory, but within easy reach of Que-bec and near neighbours on one handto the fisheries on the Banks, and onthe other to those terrific Indian tribeswhoso tomahawks' and torches had sooften broken tho slumbers of tho peace-ful border villages.

To make tho Acadians harmless intheir present position, nothing less-would be necessary than expensive fortsand armaments for which the CrownMas in no w:s;e inclined to maintain.There was ako much to fear from thefr endship of tho Indians.

Since the days, moro than li ilf acmitury back, when the Kennebec RiverIndians, the Cannibas, had showntheinsclvw to the English as tin brav-est- and most formidable cf their racein preserving Acadia to tho French,-tlio English had wanted to break thotio between tho red and white NovaScof^ans.

Now, in the alarm of a new warwith Frauco two thousand provincialtroops Mere sent out under commandof John Winslow, who surprised andtook tho French forts in Acadia, butpromised to 'cave the inhabitants un-disturbed. In a few months, however,when the v.ar clouds thickened, theKing's i.liieoi's, alarmed at the successesof tlu Ficnch, set this at naught, anddecided on the course over which thowind yet sighs ;n tiio mourning throughthe branches of the. tall hemlocks ofthe forest primeval.

They issued in the name of the Kinga proclamation t-nat ail these Frenchneutrals and their families should leavotheir lands and crops and stock, andtaking with tiicm only their money,clothi g and furniture, tind their homeselsewhere. Some of h s .Majesty's shipswero waiting; to take them to the colo-nics, and oiily a low days were allowedtor preparation.

,

'the wouien gathered their goods to-gether, while the men were kept underguard, and when all was ready, thepoor exiles were, marched down to thoshoro by tho King s officers. So littlecare was taken in embarking themthat families were separated, and nota few out of tho band, which was neat-ly 7000, spent the rest of their lh cs inlook ng for their kindred.

-Many sought in vain, for they werewidely separated, not only all over thecountry now belonging to the UnitedStates, but to remote parts of Canada,the West Indies, and some went oven asfar as the Falkland Islands by CapoHorn. Longfellow's pastoral poem."Evangeline," tolls tho sad life ofmany of these hapless Acadians. Thopoet never saw the Acadian land, butby a singular coincidence ho describestlio scenery and the people as truth-fully as he tolls tho historic story oftheir m-sfortune.

It was tour years before peace wasagain restored to the colonies of thotwo Crowns, and by this time most ofthe Acadian exiles were settled in newhomes and had wandered too far torc:urn._ Many who had gone to Louisi-ana, like the. blacksmith, hr.dbecome pro oereus farmers and herd -

m ni. who Kit that their new life was" bettor perchance than the old one,"for as Basil put it to his frivnds:"Xo liii:fj Gccij-o oi Enpiauci fhnll drive

yem a.vny from your h-.mi :-31 •; [id =,Burning your duel ingo and barns, aiul steal-

ing your farms and your oattio.''Still there were some whoso longingfor the fruitful valleys and vastdows that stretched' to the eastward

overcame all other feelings and com-pelled them to seek their"oarly homesas soon as they wero free to do so. Hun-dreds of them returned to the desertedtarnis, and built new villages, wheretheir children's children and grandchil-dren live to-day.

THE YOUNG TURKS.WK(> AND WO ARE THEY?THEIR OFPORT'JKITiES AND T2IS

contemporary "from intimate personalknowledge" of the rise and doings c ftha Young Turks. The na.r.e YoungTnr.;s is ol comparatively recent, date,but the movement which they repre-sent dates back to 1769, when theTurkish nation was threatened w.ithdissolution on account cf despotism,corruption and dccny. The first oftho reform idealists was Sultan Seleem111., who came to the throne in 17t9,and would have cviccted a considerablechange but for tha pressure from with-out and within (tho Austrian army en-tering Belgrade; the French, underNapoleon, entering Errvpt and Syria;a rising in Hijaz, "Albania nnd Servi.O,which ended in his deposition in 1807,and strangulation by his janissaries in180S.WHERE THE YOUNG TURKS

FORMED THEIR PARTY.Suit-ill Abd-ul-Majid pushed on the

wor* of ivjoun a little runner; butwhen Suk:::i Abd-ul-Aziz came to thethrone, he ruled with a rod of iron,which drew from Mustapha FadilPasha, the Minister of Education andthe rightrul heir to tho Egyptianthrone, a memmo exposing his curruptrule, and pointing to tin? places ofdanger and the means of reform : theresult of which was that in 18S5 hehad to flee to Paris for his life, accom-panied by Dia Pasha and Naniik KomaiBn\ the two ablest poets and writersin Turkey There he became tho ac-tual founder of tho Young Turks' party—so tailed, by the French, "JcunesTil res" on account of thoir youth,which name tliev have carried oversince, although in their ranks wereto be found Syrians, Greeks and Arme-nians Abd-ul-Aziz was got rid of in1876 by Midhet Pasha, known as thefather of the Constitution, nnd Abd-ul-Hamid enthroned on tho conditionthat bo would grant representative gov-ernment. He, however, was a greaterdosoot than Abd-ul-.Azir. and full cfcunning, for. as scon as the. change pre-sented it-e'f— t'l" War-he dissolved Parliament, imprisoned,exiled or killed its members, and ruledsupreme.THE REVIVAL OF THE YOUNG

TURKS.For seventeen years little or nothingwas heard of the Young Turks, until

tho Armenian massacres, in lti'J-i,which plunged the Empire in a,soa oiblood, and rendered foreign interven-tion and participation almost unavoid-able. Four medical students in Con-stantinople, fired with revolt againstexisting conditions, formed themselvesunder the presidency of one of theirnumber—Dr Abdullah Jawdet, editorof the Turkish paper ' Ijtihad "—intoa committee known as "The Commit-tee of Progress/' into which liberal-mindod students were admitted, resolv-ing to save their country at all costs,or perish in the attempt. They sentdelegates to organise, their forcesabroad, and those, who had fled toforeign countries, and came under theimmediate influence of modern ideas,formed themselves in Paris into an-other committee known as "the Com-mittee of Order and Progress," underthe presidency of Ahmed Rida Bey,who, later, became the President ofthe Turkish Parliament.

From platform and Press they usedall their powers of persuasion; theypublished nineteen Liberal papers inEgypt. England. Franco. 'America andSwitzerland in Arabic; English. Frenchand Turkish, and adopted novelmethods for their circulation in Tur-key. Al-Musheer " (the Counsellor),tlio Arabic and English paper publish-ed in Cairo by Mr S. Sarkis, to whichI was a contributor, was printed oiltissue paper, and posted through theforeign post office in letter form tosubscribers under assumed names. Toomuch precaution could not befor the Sultan's spies were everywhere,and the discovcrev of even a portionof a copy meant certain death. Itshould be mentioned that' li The LondonTimes" assisted their cause morallyand mater,ally, and Lord Cromer offer-ed them his protection in Egypt. Abd-ul-Haniid's policy, however, of attempt-ing to buy them over with money andpositions, was in. some instances suc-cessful, and tL-e treachery of theircamp brought down upon them the op-probrium of the European world, andplaced an obstacle in their path ofprogress.

The reformers in Salonika, whercsdisaffection was great and insurrectionsrampant, seeing that their comradesin the West were making too slow pro-gress to be of any moment, united andformed themselves into au associationsimilar to, but independent of, '"'theCommittee of Order and Progress."known as "the of Unionand Progress," wlrch achieved -a greatprominence by boing instrumental inoverthrowing the old regime. Chiefamong: its membrrs were Major NinziBey. the hero of that revolution; MajorEnver Bey—now Enver Pasha. _ thoMinister of War: Tnla.it Bev. Ministerof the Interior; Nail Hoy, Minister ofEducation, and Jawid Bey, Minister ofFinance.

Let it hp clearlv understood, then,that tho Young Turks were a party,not an association, conmrising all whowove dissatisfied with the old state ofthings, without any rules or recuV.-tions to bind them together ; while theCommittee of Union and Pro:jroM nnsan associating nine!' l up o) Voir'f Turks,vot'v much liko a Masonio withofficers and branches and strict rulesfn 1* ndmi«sion into its monilvrship."While cverv man.was a Young Turk, not every Vmi'Turk w-s a enn-,iiti.ee n'.m. and thetwo h"d'ns.

Tt is ono of these pictureshows where a muscular youth at theb?ck of the screen hits bricks withcoconut shells when the horses beginto gallop, and turns a barrel lull ofbuckshot when the sea begins to breakon the stormy coasts of Norway. Andtho central figure of this story wasa dear old lady from the farm, whohad, uncanny as it may seem, neverbeen to the movies in her life. Infact she was so sceptical of theireffectiveness as an amusement providerthat sho was wont to declare that shepositively could not see how lanternviews could move. But one eveningshe was induced to' attend tho show,and sho took a front seat good andearly, still maintaining that theycouldn't move as far as she could see-And then a series of views in theTyrol came on, and a beautiful wat«r-Fall crashed across the screen andtumbled down the sheet in a foamingcascade. Tho boy at the back saw theopportunity ofh ;s life, and whirled thebarrel ofshot round like the dickens,what time the waters fell with a crash-ing roar.

NOTES ON THE RACING.(By AL'GUS.)

£. 31'Drrraod. liy jus Kuccess inthe Introductory Handicap, lias ihocredit oi piloting iho iirst winner ofthe scayon. Flora Tr.icey was bred by.Mr Amor, being from tho Aus-tralian ninrcv Florodcnii, who <;:t:io t:iXi;iv Zealand a (rood lew yoaiv; ago.Flora Tracey improved ;i lot. last seasonand won the cliiei' raeo ;u WnimateI'iains ;it Easter.

Celtic, wha was second to FloraTr;tcey in tin- Introductory I landicap,wa.s bred by .Mr J. Smith, of Lauris-ton. As a youngster lie chowed groatpromise, which lie lias been a long timein fulfilling.

I-oarguarr], iho favourite for the. In-troductory Handicap, spoilt, his cb/ineeby dwelling fit the star:.

T;ikio, in getting third place in theIntroductory Handicap, stayed on bet-ter than usual, though he is a speedyinilcr.

Sinoda, went v.cl! for over a mile inthe Introductory Handicap and. thencompounded suddenly.

The North Island gelding Strategy,who "w:is well backed in tho Intro-ductory 'Handicap, pulled a shoo olfearly iu tlic race and settled his chance.

Backers fastened solidly oil to IvoryDelia (coupled with Albertoria) ir thoBelgium Handicap, and ho never gavethem much cause for uneasiness. Hewas out in front early and never lockedlike being beaten after -a mile hadliecn covered. Ivory Bells conies froir.Southland anil is o speedy trotter,though not always reliable.

In the August Handicap backers warowell on the mark. They made Bryeo'sbracket (Cathedra! Chimes and 3liiit-son) a little fatter favourite thanErin's Kins, and at the finish Cathe-dral Chimes beat Erin's King by ahead. Cathedral Chimes was one ofthe big -winners of last season, theAuckland Cup being among his suc-cesses, but be subsequently put up bisbest performance at Forbury IV.rk,when just beaten out of a place. Into-day's race ho paced so!Tdly all theway.

Erin's King was the horse ofthe field in the August Handicap. Howas badly placed early, but at the endof a mile Hcr.dr'>ksen took n chanceand put in a- fine, run on tho rails.Three furlongs from home he got intosome trouble and at the entrance totho sttaip;?!fc was badly interfered withwhen Matchlight broke. Then he cameon with a brilliant, finish and justfailed to catch Cathedral Chimes.

Cathedral Chimes and Erin's King,by their performances in the Angu.-;tHandicap, qualified for the Xcw Zea-land Trotting Cup.

Oinnko began somewhat slowly in theAugust Handicap, but- once fairly go-ing he ran a solid race.

Tamarisk ran one of his usual racesin iii" August Handicap. He begansmartly and held the lead for a. mileand a half, but' failed to see thejourney out. Uo is a brilliant paterbut a hard puller, aiifl at present can-hot stay out a solid two-mile journey.

The Gore pacer Matchlight ran agood race in the August Handicap butleft his feet twice in the last half-mile.

Y\ nod Drift was one of the rank out-sider.-- in tin- On ecu Mary Handicap,hut ho mr.de the fancied candidateslook ordinary. T'o was in frant nTacti-callv :i!l the way and won wiih r. bit'i! band at the finish. Ho lias longbeen known as a speedy pacer, but inhis earlier race?. he did not ftay.

.Hannah ?d. paced a sound racethe Qncen ilnry Handicap and wasini'imky to meet Weed Drift in such ago-id mood.

Will ycra assist bysubscribing personally and by bringingtfco matter under tho notice of everyone of your friends and urging them iolielp. The country needs tie use ofthe money now.

In tho annual report of tho C atholicEducation Board further reference ismado as follows to tho relations of thoStato and Catholics in the matter ofeducation:—" If tho Government was

to grant Catholics .justice in the mat-ter of education tho boards strenuous

efforts to raise n fund for the educa-tion of Catholic children could bediverted into other necessitous worksin connection with tho Church, butbeing denied justice, wo must, untilsuch""'time as it is granted, keep ourschools going, no matter wnat. sac-rifices havo to ho made. As it is theschool which is the foundation of Chris-tian life of the child, the matter oiCatholic education must of necessitybo regarded as one of the fir&t im-portance, for without Catholic educa-tion tho Catholic.

Proba ly no commander of an armyin the field over inspired more univer-sal confidence or better deserved it;for if ever there wer a born soldier andleader of men it is certaiuly Sii Doug-las Haig. AncJ. indeed, it would bestrange if it were not s.o, for ho hasin his veins the blood of 1 centuries ofas gallant men as ever dealt lusty blowsin battle.

IN THE HUSSARS.Haig had not long worn the uniform

of a Hussar subaltern before his smart-ness and zeal and soldierly qualitieswon tho high appreciation of hisseniors; bat.ho had many years toserve before the Soudan campaign, inIS9S, gave him tho first opportunity ofshowing the stuif he was mr.de of.Hp took a conspicuous part in thefighting at Atbara and Khartoum, andS3 distinguished himself that ho wassingled out for specially high praisein despatches, and returned home abrevet-mr.jor. Nor had he long towait for fresh laurels, for in the follow-ing year ho w,as in the thick of thefighting in South Africa—this time asChief Staff Officer to General French,who had already marked him out asa man of exceptional gifts and promise,an opinion which he speedily justifiedby much brilliant work, especially dur-ing tho operations at Colesburg.

RESCUED FROM DEATH BYGENERAL FRENCH.

It. was during the South Africancampaign that Major flaig's csreeinarrowly escaped a tragic termination.On tho day of General Conje's sur-render at Paarcieoerg, he was crossingthe Modder River, swollen by heavyrains, when his horse reared and flungbim into the swift-rushing water,which swept him helplessly away, for-tunately his danger was seen by anofficer, who dashed gallantly into theriver to his assistance. The nextmoment the would-be rescuer wasalso ■ unhorsed, and -equally at themercy' of the turbulent river. No-tiling daunted, however, be shook

himself free from his horse, struckout gallantly for the drowning man,and after a long and seemingly hope-loss struggle, m which he nearly losthis own life, brought him to safety.Tbo -officer.who thus bravely rescuedHaig from death was General French.

FACING MANY RISKS.This, however, was by no means tfio

first or - last occasion on which SirDouglas Haig has looked death be-tween the eyes. . In tue Scutian, in'the preliminary scouting hetoro thebattle- of Atbara, he volunteered toinspect at close quarters an enemyzareba, which'blocked the line of ad-vance. rlbe zareba was enoughto conceal an army ; and although jthere was no sign of life behind it, jit was almost certain death to ap-proach it. Although none knew thisbetter than Captain Haig (as he wasthen), he rode to within a couple ofhundred yards of it, sat calmly on hishorse, making the necessary observa-tions, in the midst of a perfect tor-nado of millets as coolly if on theparade ground, and by a miracle rodeback to our lines untouched.

When Haig returned from SouthAfrica at ihe end of the war lie hade.stahlisl ed his reputation as one of theablest and most brilliant soldiers inour arm v. Dispatch after dispatchhad mad-? his name and fame known jto ihe world; he vas now a colonel,CM'., and A.D.C to ihe King, wore |(he King's Medal and the Queen's ;Medal with scve.it clasps, and wasmarked out for a big career. P>utmany years of peace wore to followbefore his great opportunity came withihr present war - years during whichbe did excellent work and confirmed j!iis hiali reputation iu a variety of ;responsible offices, from Inspector- j'ieneral cf Indian Cavnliy to the com- jlaand of the 17th Lancers. At forty-jthree he blossomed into a major-gen- |rial. . within nineteen years cf first »soaring his subaltern's uniform; and!i-i'.-o vears r he was Director cfMilitary Training, an efSce quicklyrrt'l.v.vcd by that of Director of Stair •Duties at- Arm> Headquarters. |

how on several occasions he has hadalmost miraculous escapes from death.ON THE HAYSTACK.

On one occasion, Sir Douglas, with amember of his staff, mounted a hay-stack some distance behind our tren-ches near La Bassee, to watch theprogress of an action. He had: notbeen many minutes, however, on his" had eminence," before a German shellcrashed on to the top of the haystack.As luck would liave it, it failed to ex-plode. The tuo officers had barelyrecovered from the shock, to congratu-late one another on their marvellousescape, when a second shell droppedalmost at their feet—again without ex-ploding. " I think, sir," said theaide, "it is getting a little too warmfor comfort up hero. Don't you thinkwe had better climb down?" "Yes, Ithink it would be wiser." coolly answer-ed Sir Douglas, with a smile, as he pre-pared to descend to a less conspicuouspoint of vantage. On another occa-sion Sir Douglas had only just left abarn near Armontieres where some ofhis men were lodged, when a shellcrashed into the building, and killednine of them

IN THE TRENCHES.But such risks as these aro "all in

the day's work," and Sir Douglas facesthem with a smile and without a tre-mor, for he does not know what fear is.Nor does he expect his men io face anydanger which he is not ready to sharewith thorn. Probably no general hasever spent more time than he in thetrenches, cheerfully risking his life inorder to cheer his men in the same ven-ture. And certainly no general wasever more beloved by his men, not onlyfor his courage, but for his simplefriendliness and unaffected geniality.And by his offircrs. from the brigr.dierto tho youngc.st sub, ho is equally be-loved and respected.

THE MAN.And what kind of man is Sir Douglas

Haig? In appearance he is the idealsoldier and lender of men. He has-the characteristic soldier's face, withstrong, well-cut features, a resclnte, ag-gressive jaw and chin, a firm month,half-exposed beneath a fiercely bristlingmoustache, and clour, keen, command-ing eyes which seem to look straightthrough one. Jlany are the stories ofthe cheering and encouraging effectproduced on the battle-worn troops ofthe First Army in the terrific andbloody welter of the first battle ofYpres by the appearance of this sol-dierly fi'lure riding out, with beautiful-ly polished field boots, and seeminglyall unperturbed by the sights anasounds of war all around him, or bythe appnllirgly grave situation of hiscommand."

WAR BONUS.

EXPECTANT PUBLIC SERVANTS.

THE TASK OF ALLOCATION.

. [Faom Ouk Correspondent.]WELLINGTON, August 11.

When Parliament authorised the pay-ment of a- "'ar bonus to the rnilwaynierand public servants, it gave the Gov-ernment power to pay out a sum ofabout £IOO,OOO, and made no stipula-tions as to how it was to bo allocated.The secoud division of the railway ser-vice was officially informed that thebonus would amount to a shilling aday, but the rest of the service, to-gether with those who are under Com-missioner control, have been waitingwith -keen airxicty to know how themoney will be paid.

It is understood that the Public Ser-vice Commissioners will not be respon-sible for the delicate duty of fixing thedetails of the bonus. That tnsli; is nowunder the c.uskL ration of Cabinet. Ithujs been decided to pay married mena war bonus of £ls per annum, andsingle men £7 10s, but there will liesonic variation from this scale, in allprobability, in the c-ase of Lrtate em-ployees who live in institutions, aifiare therefore not. so heavily hit byhigh cost of foodstuffs as tnose whohave to buy for themselves.

It has been assumed that the bonuswould be paid in a hinip sum. hut Ihave reason to believe that public ser-vants arc going to be disappointed inthis. The lailwaymeirs shilling a dayis to be mr.de retrospective from Apr:!1, ami th s is what will ho done withother State employees. Probably theywill get monthly instalments of thebon'n." dating ba-k from the beginningcf the financial year.

SPORTING.RACING AND TROTTING.

Club.Mijcst 15. 17. Canterbury Jookei Club.

I understand that the Xew Brigh-ton Trotting Club has finally decidedipon the conditions for its next three)erby races. It is very gratifying townow that the club has decided to go>n with- its classic race, and I haveio'doubt that it will prove in theuture>, JvJias. in. the past, a greatuccess in every way. For severalears I advocated in these columns thostab'iMiment of classic races hy clubs,ousidsring such races to bo the high-si form of sport, but it took a con-iderable time before any club wouldiew the matter in a favourable light,i littlo ever three years ago, however,he-Nsw Brighfon Trotting Club, withommendable progreosiveness, decided0 ruakfa start,, and although not athat time in such a sound financialosition-as-inany other clubs, it broughtat tho conditions for its first race forhive-ycar-olds. Tho prospects of thorst rare. wero eagerly discussed byuiiiso doselv connected with the sport,iifl the club got a splendid advertise-lent For its enterprise. Together with:i© Free-ior-all race, tho ]>erby imme-:ately brought the.club into the frontanl\ and much of its later successas been diio to tho foresight of, thosnitxiittco in launching out from Ahoeaten track of races and providingJiitests.for the best horses. It is diffi->H to understand why other clubs, in' far stronger financial position, did

01 at onco follow tho Ifi&d of the JsoWrighton Club After thr«« years,ayvever tho Metropolitan and Forbmyark Clubs Tfavo decided to follow thoudalilc' example, and'this season wotailJhaye..at .least three classic racesir ihret>-year-i>ld3.

There" other clubs which &h6ald11 into line at 6ace, and I hopo tor.\t icason's racing there will-bo moro.ces> of this character in _ tho pfO-•amines of various trotting clubsnoughout tho l)wmmion.

fliat is~the- gcntlemau's opimoß oro&uty of a club he would, to be con-stant,"V_* an advocate of mile racesily, as from a financial point of viewese short dashes are tho most proht->le. But, as I have already written,jbs are not in existence for the 6010irpusa of making money, but merely toofide sport, and tho sooner 6onio oroffclub executives realise tho positionabetter it wijl, be for ftveryone. ThontSit'oijs oi the New Brighton Chibsree-vear-old. event this year provider a "stake of £3-50. distributed as fol-ws:—£2lo for the first horse, £9or second and £-13 for third. .

with anything seen in a hurdlo race inNew 1 Zealand for some time past. Tholength of the journey has been in*ci eased, for the first time, to two milesand a half, and its some of those en-gaged have never been raced over thisdistance, tho race is full of possibili-ties. So far as tho minor evonts onthe first day are concerned, the pros-pects* arc excellent, there being nineacceptors iu the Trial Hurdle Handicap,fifteen in tho Jumpers' Flat Handicap,sixteen in the Hunters' Hurdlo Han-dicap, twelve in tho Enfield Steeple-chase, and twenty-niiio iu the Avon-head Handicap.

Of tho horses who made the finalpayment for the Grand NationalSteeplechase last night, four took partin tho big cross-country event lastyear. Ngatoa was the winner and ThoBrewer filled second place on that oc-casion, while Captain Macky was fourthand Fagot fell. Naupata competedlater in tho meeting and Lady Bibberowdn tho Hunt Club Cup two years ago,but the other thirteen Grand Nationalcandidates are strangers to the Riccar-ton country.

There has been a good deal of talklately concerning the programme likelyto be followed with -Kooya next week.As she was allowed to drop out of theWinter Cup last night, it looks as if•she would have a run in the TrialHurdle Handicap 6n Tuesday, prepara-tory to contesting tho Grand NationalHurdlo Handicap on Thursday. F.arlythis week she injured hensolf whilorunning in the paddock, but she is ap-parently little the worse now, followingon a short rest, and there should benothing wrong so far as her conditionis concerned for her engagements nextweek.

Consequent on_ a recent decision ofthe Racing Conference, the owner ofAuzac had to find a new name for theAdvance—Splendid Idea gelding, whowill in future race as Splcndidus.'

_ Three candidates for the GrandNational Kindle Handicap—T.eonta,Crown Fear! and Gtadiul--are not en-gaged on the first day of the meeting.

The Trial Hurdle Handicap will at-tract agood deal of attention at Riccar-ton on Tuesday. Among those engagedaro five candidates for the Grand Na-t-onal Hurdle Handicap—Kooya, SirSolo, Golden March. Czarouus andJlultieipal—who;* running should pro-vide a line in their prospects in the bighurdle race on the second day.

Mr J. B. lleid's English stallion,Winkie, was allowed to drop out of theAvonhi-r.d Handicap lust night, so thatho will not be racing at Kit-carton next,week, this Icing the only event' forwhich lie was nominated.

T. M'Grath has four horses in work atCaulfield. They aro Three, who lookswell, Veronal, Two Lights and an un-named colt by Wallace. In the opinionof the visitor, Three will shortly makeamends for his failures in Syduoy. Ver-onal has only started onco. This wasatWillia.rostown, where she had 7nt- 71b,and, after drawing No. 1 position andhaving every clianco to win from thefront, she laded out of it.

Mr E. J. Watt, whoso Australianwinnings totalled £2163 last season,headed the list of winning owners theprevious season with £1'2.6.'?.

Fields have been so largo in Austra-lia lately that they are. becoming atrouble. As a way out, they are fre-quently run in divisions, tho rules pro-viding for this, but stipulating for anextra stake. The present- position isbeing urged as providing a fine opportu-nity for increased distances. No onowants to see programmes stretched outto twelve or even fifteen races, as at thepony meetings, and an easy way toavoid this would bo to framo conditionswhich would cut out the speedy squibs.

Martian's stock won £6538 in Austra-lia last season, so that, with the addi-tion of his New Zealand winnings,£17,750, he had an exceptionally fineyear. .

Bezonian, whoso progeny won £3BOIin New. Zealand fast season, added.£16(37 to his total as a- result of theearnings of his representatives in Aus-tralia.

The- list of winning sires tn Australiawas headed Inst season by Wallace.Carbine's most successful sod, who wonthe Victoria Derby in 1895, has beennear tho top year alter rear, and se-cond on half a dozen occasions, but tin'swas the first time he reachtd first pota-tion. llis winning total for the seasonwas £24,945. earned by fourteen re-presentatives, in twenty-three race?.Importer! Luiaere was second, witnforty winners for £18,(121, being fol-low ed liy Bobadil £16,4<35, Malslc.r£11.006, Grafton £13.8-10, Pistol£13.332. St Aiwyue £12,073. The Wel-kin .£12,-137, Charlemagne 11. £11.£2(3.Traquair £10,66-1, Kenihvorth £lo.ii3oand Antonio £10,153.

Since Wallace was first representedon the racecourse, during the W9-1000season, his stock have won £'2ou,93S instakes. Ho was second iti the winningsires list, in Australia in Hill and101:2, and third in 1901, 1005 and ISHKi.Ho is the first Victorian sire to headthe line since Pilgrim';; Progress cameout at thr.- top in 1003. From thatyear until the ko.hoii just- clo.-ed one oftho stallions '•elonging to the Thomp-son family in New South. Wales hasbeen the premier stallion each year.Lcchie! headed thelist in IWK! and1001, hut the following year was beat-en by Pilgrim's Progress, and again byTrentou in 1003. lie, bowevr-r, vas ontop again iri I'jDo aud 1908, and gaveplace to Grafton,' who was first on thelist in 1904, 1907, 130S and 1009. Hein iuni was supplanted bv. Malster,.who filled prime p!nr& for fire rears—--1010, 1011, 1012. 1014 and 1015; andAyi Laddie was first in tli6 list in 1013.

Several English writers seem to thinkthat N'asxovian should have won thoNew Derby this year. Ho bolongs toMr J. Sanford an American, who in-sisted at the last moment on the Ameri-can Jockey, O'Neil, being substitutedfor Spear, who had ridden Nassovian inhis races, and in all his work. O'Neilrides in France, and has had very littlopractice since the .var began ; also hohad never even seen Nassovian until theday before the l>rby. O'Neil had hismount absolutely last six furlongs fromhome, and did not shine on hiin later,but Nassovian struggled on, and wasbeaten a. liend by Kwang Su. who wasa nock behind Fifinella. .Since thenNassovian has won tho Prince-s ofWales Stakes. In 1913, his ■ half,brother, Craganour, Tvon tho Derby,and was disqualified for interference.It, is an unlucky race for the family.Nassovian is not engaged in tho Sep-tember Stakes, which takes the plnco.of the St Loger.

THE PUBLIC EYE.

PROMINENT PEOPLE OF THEPERIOD.

It went-without saying that Mr W.M. Hughes would receive a tumultu-ous welcome when ho got back to Aus-tralia!, because Australians always didliold liiin in high regard, and , it onlyneeded the stimulus of the Englishtrip to confirm their esteem. . In anycase the people of tho Mother Countrybad accorded tho Labour Premier highhonours, and no Australian could bearto think that the mere English hadbeen more enthusiastic about anythingor anyone Australian than the Aus-tralians themselves could be. _Mr'Hughes lias, "played the game'' intho most thorough fashion since thewar started, and even those people who.used to heap alnuo on him us a redSocialist have joined in the chorus ofappreciation. To learn what tho Aus-tralians really think cf their PrimeMinister— outside of psrty pontic'swhich at- the present time do not count

cue has only to turn to a recent num-ber of the " Sydney .Morning Herald.a journal that two years age. ir itshabitual tone towards the Labour Gov-ernment could be taken as a guide,must have been anticipating a shockingexhibition of adminish athv ineptitude011 the part of the Commonwealth -Min-istry. Jf Hie " Hera id " did ba.ve aMymisgivings on the subject iu injusticetowards the Government is .'implyalonocl for in iis latent appreciationoi the Labour leader. The whole ar-ticle is well worth quoting, less as evi-dence of the larfte-miiidedness of theSydney journal—though thatis to boremarked—than as a tribute io theCommonwealth Prime Minister front apoliiical opponent.

*' Tbero is soinvibing almost- akin toromanco iu the home-coming of ALrHughes,'' the "Idorald " says. "Itis an old tayinj that Ke must go irotahome to learn news of -ourselves; andit alrsjoit, -seems that it. was necessaryfor Mr Hughes to go sw&y-ijoui boW6in order' to establish his claims uponus—to present himself to us in a. lightthat wsq hardly dreamt or while he was"tvir.ii" us.

; paring them rritJi those of other lead-ers of the Empire, that they appealedto us with all their real force. elifivo had other examples of thid, not-ably in the field of science. The talentsof Professor Grafton Elliot Smith, anative of this State, remained unrecog-nised until he had left us; and to-dayhe has a fame that is world-wide inthe science nf ethnology and anthro-pology. Professor Sir Ernest Ruther-ford, famous for his radium .researches,had to leave New Zealand to win re-nown. Longstaff and Mackennal wouldhardly have starved in Australia, butthey would never have attained theirEuropean 'rcpntatitin.* So, tiotv, wehave this politician of ours, this leaderof the Australian Labour Party, goingto England and achieving distinction asone of the Empire's greatest states-men—-hailed, indeed, by some as thegreatest of them all. Wo must leaveit to time to assign him his rightfulplace among the galaxy of great, namesconnected with the world-war, but wobelieve that the verdict of history willaward him an honoured place.

" We knew Mr Hughes as n. man oftireless energy, an energy that wasthe more remarkable because_ of hisfrai! constitution. We knew him as apublic speaker of unusual power,whether it, was in conducting a general (election on the hustings or debating!'on the floor of Parliament, a man whocould rise to rare heights of eloquence,Or indulge in the fiercest invective. Weknew him as ail exact and powerfulwriter: and wo knew him as a greatreader and a keen student .of world-politics. The man who, from Domainorator and secretary of the Wharf La-bourers' Union, entered our State Par-liament as one of the first Labour mem-bers in Australia, studied law and teasadmitted as a. barrister, and finally, ontho retirement ot Mr Andrew I';.sher,

As potato planting will soon claimattention n I'eir remarks on this sub-ject may provo useful. •

: Last summer several correspondents. ooir.phuned that their potatoes were

. going to top, nud that there was nol .signs ol tubers at the bottom. 'We in-spected two gardens and found thostrove d'e&«nption was quito corroct,while tho cause was the same iu bothcase?.—-overcrowding, a fault too com-mon jij small gardens-'. The distance to!w g»vc*u to »-anh sot must be governedbv tho variety, and not the aroa plant-ed. Some varieties make shoots threeand four i'eet long, others only twelvoto liftern inches. Soil and situation,too, iniwt lu* considered.' • A variety

j grown in anv Christchuroh garden wouldj make nearly iwico tho length of' haulm;ao if g:"iv.:> at Mount, Pleasant, qr on

j Cashmere Hills, although the soil mayIbe richer on tho hills. Thus we sooI tlio in'iuviKo position has on tho lengthoi haulm.

The guildiiig principle must bo, toallow each plant ample room to spreadits shoots without being crowded—tobreathe for suck) in air and sunshine,so that every inch of stem is thorough-ly matured as it extends.

Hero we see the reason of regulatingthe number of shoots front each tuber,o.- sot. Some potatoes have'a greater'number of " eye's than others, «nd ifr.ll -a;,) :ert to grow the result is toomany shnots crowded or a small-space,and instead ov growing naturally, jn a

1 spreading position, they are forced .to! grew upright, in search of light and

I food.j If wo examine these crowded shoots,

; wo find that only a very small surface! cl' each is exposed to the full sunshine,

j while the struts get little or no light—-j .1 condition (/uite opposed to the liat-ura]

| habit of tho plant. . ' ~' .. :1 Vv.t cits tubov in an open space and

j leave it to grow naturally without anyaid or attention. Do not even reduce

I tho r.pm'ior oi shoots, but just leave| it alone ami we rhall find each shootI growing away from the centre, not up-

j right, b*it much the re. me as a shootirctn a plant of vegetable miirrow.The leaves will not be close to eachother; they will be several inchesapart, giving tho sunshine -free accessi > tho titom between tho leaves.' ,Ifany mistake is made it is better to erron tho safe side and give ample spacebetween the sets, also to reduce thonumber of shoots to three from eachplant. Although it, is impossible, togive -exact 'lie.wuremonts, it may bosaid that tho distances may vary fromMteen inches bscwcen the rows .forli.vge early i-orts to three toot for lateri.rieiios. i'ui; the .sets from ten to{•ftcvn Inches apart in the row. Thoit:ore room each plant, has the bettertin* sample of tubers willbe.

Another point to ror.iembar is thata considerable proportion of the lossesfjcm diseases may be traced to ovcr-ciowdij'g. The growths which -aroweakened through want of air andlight aro an easy prey to- several "ofthe posts thc.t attach this; crop;' :it' isthe strong, healthy growth that is bestable to ward off these, attacks.

The method of planting varies ao-'cording to tho soil. On-'' light landthey may be planted by the old-fashion-ed dribble." but very few adopt fhismethod in these days. - They can heplanted as the ground' is_ dug, -orpie.ighed in, and. if the soil has beendug or trenched take out, holesinches deep-ami cover tho tuber- withloose soil.

FI.OWEII GAlt DEN. . .

With tho advent of spring thoso whointend making a garden next wintershould obtain a notebook and enter thenames oi' flowering shrubs and trees asthey open their blossoms.
