Suez Canal Well Guarded
Traveller Tells of Daily Work of Allied Mine Sweepers
The Soerabajosche Handelsblod
prints an interesting article of a jour.
ney through the Suez Canal made on the steamship Tabanan by a pasesigel
“When we arrived at Port Said,” writes this traveller, “the decks of the Tabanan were covered with sand- bags in ordexy to prepare against any possible attack by the Turks. The ship’s lights at the stern were remov- ed and the passengers were ordered below. We were told that there was a strong Turkish force on the east side of the canal, and a few days previous they had fired on a French mail boat.
“At three o'clock inthe afternoon we entered ite canal, To the right we saw the French aeroplane sta- tion, with the wreckage of. a hydro- plane lying nearby, and to the left was a large encampment. Behind that as far as the eye could see the land was under water.
“Guided by a hydroplane overhead our ship slowly made her way, In the meantime darkness had set in, but, nevertheless, on both sides of the canal we could see the camps of the Indian troops. We passed two large transports carrying hundreds of horses.
“The ship anchored when we had made the journey half way through the canal, as no vessel is permitted to traverse the southern part of the cana] at uight. This is due to the fact that under cover of night the Turks lay mines. Therefore, every morning mine sweepers are at work. It is also forbidden to throw anything overboard. Recently a patrol boat sighted a box floating in the water, and this information was telegraphed to the various stations along’ the shores of the canal. Some »w the re- port spread that it was a box of dyna- mite, and as a consequence the cana was closed for an entire day.
“In the morning the Tab-nan con- tinued the journey through the south- ern half of the canal. We saw num- erous stones marking the graves of those who had fallen in battle. Near Seraplum we saw the resting place of Major von al.
“The cross of granite which some loving hands had placed there, had fallen on its side. On the right shore were lines of trenches occu- pied by Indian troops. Behind were Austarlian troops drilling with cam- els. At the entrance to the Red Sea we were met by the French warships Requin and Montcalm. From all we could see the British by means of war- ships and aeroplanes, as well as patrol boats, had the cana] well protected against any possible attack by the Turks.”
Pills of Attested Value.—Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are the result of care- ful study of the properties of certain roots and herbs, and the actioa of such as sedatives and laxatives on the digestive apparatus. The success the compounders have met with attests the value of their work. These pills have been recognized for many years as the best cleansers of the system that can be got. Their excellence was recognized from the first and they grow more popular daily.
Bombardment of Wilderness of Sin
Bir-el-Hassana, in the Wilderness of Sin and on the caravan route from Palestine to Ismalia at the eastern end of the Suez Canal, has been subjected to an air attack by British aviators,
It is not reported that Sin itself was seriously damaged; but a hu- morist, describing the consternation that fell upon the inhabitants of the wilderness, says: “It was evident that our shells put the fear of the devil into their souls.”
From a military viewpoint the shelling of the wilderness was effec- tive.
It was planned that four machines
on a reservoir and connected build- ings and on the trenches with great effect. According to the description of one observer, ‘‘the camp presented the appearance of a volcano in erup- tion.”
When the work appeared to be fin- ished one of the British pilots noticed
some aviators firing on his fellow aviators, He swooped down upon them from behind, and, greatly dar- ing, descended to within 200 feet; and then opened on the foes with machine gun fire, scattering them across the desert. Knemy officers who had been in the marquee were
sent helter-skelter.

Glycerine Six Times as Expensive The world’s output of crude gly- cerine is estimated at from 90,000 te 100,000 tons.
Production is entirely inadequate the demands and refiners how have on hand only enough for three months, About 60 per cent. of the glycerine used on this side the At- lantic, ordinarily comes from Kurope in a crude form—a by-product of soap and candle-making. Now this avenue of supply has been shut off.
Many industries are thus serious- ly affected by the high cost and lim- ited supply of the material, The bulk of the distilled glycerine is used
for the production of nitro-glyoerine |
and dynamite, and a_ part in the manutacture ‘of formic acid, allyl, alcohol and artificial mustard oil.
In 1908 glycerine sold for 10 cents a pound; now it is 60 cents, and the price is steadily advancing.

Australian Cattle Barons
Many “cattle barons” have been created in Australia by the profitable- ness. of the live stock industry. The greatest of these ranch kings is Sidney Kidman, who cirectly owns or con- trols 45,000 square miles, or 28,800,- 000 acres of land. His vast estates are scattered all over the country, and his time is practically all taken up going about from one property to the other and giving his personal atten- tion to his enormous cattle interests. He owns and controls more land and live stock than any other one man. One of his ranches, situated in the States of Victoria, embraces in one tract 7,680,000 acres. It is stocked with more than 100,000 cattle—W. D. Harnaday, in Breeders’ Gazette.

Neurasthenia
It is quite possible for the nervous system to be considerably ex- hausted before you realize the seriousness of your condition. You do not feel up to the mark, are easily tired out, worry over little things, and get cross and irritable, but do not consider yourself sick.
For this reason we shall give an outline of the symptoms so that you may be warned in time and use preventive treatment at a time when it will do the most good,
General discomfort—excitement and depression alternating. Headache and sometimes dizziness, and deafness. Disturbed, restless, unrefreshing sleep, interrupted by dreams Weakness of memory, particularly of recent events. Blurring sight, noises and ringing in the ears. Disturbance of sensibility or feeling, as in hands, or, with women, in the breasts. Coldness of parts of body or flushing and sweats. Lack of tone, easily fatigued, dyspepsia.
Fear to be alone, or in a crowd, fear of things falling, fear of travelling, ete.
These symptoms indicate that the nerves are being starved for lack of rich, red blood. Certain elements are lacking which can best be supplied by Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food.

THE ORGANIZATION OF BRITAIN’S
ARMY SUPPLY BASES AT FRONT
THE HEART OF BRITAIN’S GREAT WAR MACHINE
\ ES ee PRE ee Thoroughness and Efficiency are the Outstanding Features of the _ System Whereby the British Army at the Front is Kept Supplied With Requirements for Active Service
Bndless rooms; a multitude of busy @ierks, both men and women; filing eabinets titted with countless cards, each neatly indexed; messengers hurrying to and fro, their hands full of pink, blue, white or green slips— euch is the impression the writer got ef the British general headquarters in France.
Through the windows after warehouse, factory upon fac- tory, railroad yards, roundhouses,
continual shunting of long trains of freight cars, a never-ending proces- sion of great motor lorries. All blending into a huge industrial city— ene of Britain’s army supply bases, somewhere in France.
Here is the heart of the wonderful war machine which England has built up in little more than a year— built with the utmost care and thor- oughness in spite of incalculable dif- ficulties.
Nobody could look on at the work- fugs ul this organization and accuse England of being ‘‘slow.” The mar- vel of it all is how it possibly could have been done in so short a time. The Germans have been out-German- ed when it comes to thoroughness and efficiency. EA
The British have all the poWer of organization which the enemy has plus the facilities for obtaining sup- plies of certain materials not avail- able to Germany. ‘
There is no shortage of rubber or wheat flour, or sugar at the British bases. ‘here is no ree of any- thing. And more than that, there are millions of dollars’ worth of re- serve supplies which never are touch- ei and are only held against emerg- ency.
We stepped into the biggest gar- age in the world. ‘Model garage would aid in the description. Lines of spacious, well built sheds were filled with every Known make of
owerful trucks. Engines were roar- ng; petrol was splasning into tanks;
imy helpers were scurrying about Todas with soldering irons, wrenches or jacks? ‘
In the accessory storehouses tiers of neatly labelled Lids ran from floor to ceiling, filled with everything from cotter pins to crankshafts. And s0 perfect is the system that these goods are handled and issued by absolutely untrained men, many of whom never looked inside a hood before.
Across from the automobile station fs the shoe factory. It seemed as if all the shoemakers and apprentices in the United Kingdom must have been there, hammering away for dear life. At oné end of the long struc- ture a stream of lorries was dump- ing thousands of pairs of boots which a@ppeared to have passed the worth- less stage long ago.
‘'wisted and bent, covered with mud and showing gaping holes, these relics of the trenches were caught up and thrown into great vats of steam- ing solution. And on the other hand they were being scooped out into huge trays and passed on to the army of men in the shops. It would require too much space to tell of the various processes through which the forlorn looking mass was passed.
But at the far end of the estab- lMshment the results could be seen— hundreds of thousands of pairs of sturdy boots going away in sacks to divisional headquarters for redis- tribution. And, best of all, “Tommy” prefers the remades to new boots; Says they are far more comfortable.
*Wouldn’t the Huns like to get into this place.’”’ asked the officer who was escorting us. It was the bread bakery, where several hundred thou- sand loaves of excellent white bread are turned out every day. was better bread than is served at the
warehouse
average restaurant table in London or Paris. Crisp and warm, the loaves came
from the ovens and were stacked up in the storerooms to remain % hours before shipment to the front.
A brisk business-like captain took us through the buildings where the “iron rations” are stored. These are packed in small wooden boxes, each containing a day’s rations for twenty
men. A tin of corned beef, bouillon cubes, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and mustard comprise
one man’s “‘iron rations” for a day. The items are wrapped in separate packages. The supply trains come in and go t like clockwork. The loading plat- lorms are on one 8ide of the build- ing, and the receiving platforms on the other side. When goods are be- ng shipped to the rail-head near the ines the doors on the receiving side ,are locked, thereby avoiding the pos- sibility of confusion. One of the most interesting depart- ents of this military establishment where the gas helmets are reno- vated, Kvery day many thousands of these grotesque accessories are sent back from the front to be re- paired and redipped. Firet, they are washed antiseptic solution. this treatment perfectly clean and free from germs. ‘Then they are assed on to the long rows of girls,

main into which millions of pounds of British gold are poured every day.
The establishment pays for itself many titnes over each day, it is said. Further, it is furnishing an elaborate business education for thousands of men who will be so much better equipped when they return to civil- ian life again.
“It was a long hard grind,’’ a high official told me. ‘‘At- first the feed- ing, clothing and arming of such 4 mass of men seemed almost impos- sible.
“rhings must go with absolute regularity, it’s no good getting a trainload of salt to the men if they have nothing on which to eat it. But row we have things as they should ba.
“Not one of our men ever goes hungry. At messtime his food is there. Always clothing 1s ready for him when he needs it.

Canada’s Firm Foundation
More Farm Workers Would Add to
Our National Wealth
In the condition of agriculture every Canadian is vitally interested. . If the Dominion is to pass safely through the period of reconstruction that will inevitably follow the war, the farm must be the foundation of econ- omic development. The obstacles in the way of successful farming must be removed and the financial and social advantages of rural] life added to by all practicable means,
There is no other adequate outlet for the return to civil life of the 350,000 or 400,000 men who will be released from military service some time during 1917 and 1918. Figures compiled by the militia department show that of 263,111 men enlisted up to February 29 no less than 170,369 were manual workers and 17,044 farmers and ranch- ers. The great bulk of the manual workers were engaged before the war in railway construction, in the build- ing trades, in factories, and in national and civic public improvements. Few of them will be able to return to their former occupations. Railway construc- tion on a large scale will not be re- sumed for several years. The Domin- jon has too great rather than too small railway mileage for its popula- tion. City building has been over- done alike in the east and the west, and there will be a marked cessation of this form of activity. Under nor- mal conditions the iactories might be able to absorb a considerable propor- tion of the inen mustered out, but it must not be forgotten that the muni- tion plants and the factories making military equipment will the end of the war, and the 275,000 workpeople now engaged in producing war material will have to compete with the returned soldiers for places in Can- adian factories, Under these condi- tions there can be little hope that openings will be found in industrial life for very many of the returning soldiers.
The farm remains as the one great Canadian industry that is underman- nei and that produces things the world must have. The shortage of food and draught animals in Europe will be very great for years after hostilities end. Men whose business it is to take the long view and estimate probabilities over a series of years state unhesitat- ingly that Canadian gtock-raisers need not fear a glut in the market for a con- siderable period. The production of grain in the Canadian west is an- other branch of agricultural industry that is on a very firm basis, for the world will need more and more hard northern wheat to bring up the quality of the flour milled in large part from softer grain grown in warmer climates.
There is ample opportunity on the existing farms of the Dominion to pro- vide profitable work for all who have been withdrawn from manual occupa- tions throughout Canada during the past twenty months. One of the great- est handicaps in the way of a return to the land in the case of married men is the absence of cottages for farm laborers. No investment. that could be made by the well-to-do farm- ers of Ontario would pay a greater re- turn year in and year out than the spending of money to anchor married farm workers to the soil. It is frequent- ly asserted that the average hundred- acre farm will not keep two families. That may be true where grain is raised to be sold and where few animals are kept. The average hundred-acre farm) devoted to up-to-date animal husban- dry will not only keep two familieg but return a good profit to the farmer in his capacity as landowner and capital- ist. Why should not Ontario contri- bute to the economic reconstruction that must follow the war by tackling the problem of the hired man? A quarter of a million additional workers, married and single, on the farm of the Dominion would add enormously to stability and to the national th.— Toronto Globe.

Agricultural War Book
Production and Thrift Dealt With in New Publication
The Agricultural War Book for 1916 entitled “Production and Thrift,” an having for its particular text in war time, produce more and save more, make your labor efficient; save mate- rials from waste, spend your money wisely, consists of 250 valuable and instructive pages. Opening with a brief address to the farmers of Can- ada by Hon, Martin Burrell, federal minister of agriculture, under whose direction the book has been issued, followed by extracts from the budget speech . of bir. Thomas. White, finance minister of the Dominion, and an article bearing upon the national in- come and expenditure of the United Kingdom, there ensue contributions from over seventy expert authorities on different branches of agriculture, including the compiler and editor of the work, the federal commissioner of agriculture and the commissioner of live stock and dairy products of the Dominion, the director of experi- mental farms, chiefs and sub-chiefs of departments of agriculture of all the provinces and a number of professors at the different agricultural colleges. A vast deal of general information, statistical and otherwise, covering various countries as well as Canada, is given along with a large fund of sound advice and counsel bearing in particular upon the subjects embrac- ed in the title. Although primarily devoted to agriculture, there is much matter that the general citizen will find of interest. Among other things he will be rather surprised to learn that wheat in 1801 was $3.47 a bushel in Britain, while last year it was only $1.61, the latter, however, being near- ly twice as much as the lowest point reached, which was in 1894, when the rice was down to 86 cents. For the
rst fifteen years of this century the average price of wheat pe bushel in Britain was 98 cents, whereas in the first fifteen years of the nineteenth centu the average was something like $2.66.
While crop production occupies a large space, live stock comes in for a large share of attention, horses, cattle, ames swine and poultry all be- ing learnedly dealt with along with dairy products and special crops, such as sugar, ftiax, fruit, vegetables and tobacco, In short no branch of agri- culture is overlooked. The nutritive and commercial values of different foods are set forth in company with a deal of excellent advice on the prac- tice and results of thrift. Marketin is dealt with, and sections of the boo are devoted, among other subjects to economy in the home, patriotic pur- chasing, women and the war, the call to the colors, patriotic relief work and education and the war.

Binder Twine
Manitoba farmers have a direct in- terest in the trouble in Mexico, since 90 per cent. of the world’s binder twine comes from that country. In recent years a trust, composed _ of United States capitalists and Mexi- can planters, has been formed with a view of exacting more money from the consumers, and it is expected that in 1916, $500,000 will be added to the price, with the probability that fur- ther increases will be made in future years, The area from which the raw material of binder twine is obtained is a small part of the smal) province Yucatan, where sisal hemp is indig- enous, and where it grows in pro- fusion on large estates. How the northern farmer is going to get bind- er twine out of Yucatan at a fair pkey under present conditions is a ard problem, and if war should oc- eur, the difficulty would not be much simplified, as long as the struggle was on.—Free Press.

The Influence of a Picture
By Edith C. Salisbury in the Country Gentleman
There is a long stretch of prairie country between Saskatoon and Kd- monton, in Western Canada, where there are some very isolated homes. Once, while on a visit to a women’s institute in that section, I had an op- portunity to visit in one of these homes. I had heard much of the wo- man who presided over it; she was known throughout the district for her interest in community affairs.
It was a small house, not at all at- tractive in appearance, and it must have been uncomfortably cold in win- ter. It was unplastered, with many cracks in the walls and floor ets which the wind entered as it would. The rooms were small, the furniture scant and poor; but it was home to this woman and to her husband and her ‘child, a little girl of four years.
There was a bit of lace curtain over the window, and a crocheted tidy on a table in the “front room’? under the family Bible. There was a path- os in these simple decorations that .made the eyes smart, for they spoke plainly of hope and discouragement, of an innate love of those trifies which change an ordinary room into a home.
But there was one adornment in that room, sufficient in itself to make one forget the missing things; it might not have been so conspicuous in other surroundings, but in that par- ticular place it stood out above every- thing else: it was just a good, but in- | at copy of one of the famous paintings; a picture of a bit of lovely country.
It was impossible not to wonder how the picture came there. Who se- lected it? What prompted its selec- tion? These were the questions the woman who presided over that home saw in the eyes of her visitor. We were sittin

Pictures which show suffering, cruelty or grief are not good object lessons for children and so are out of place in the home, while pictures of fine animals, beautiful bits of land- scape and domestic scenes serve as 81- lent lessons.
Appreciation of good pictures is not an intuitive sense. We need education in art, as well as in music and litera- ture, and the best place to begin that education is in the school and the home, where good pictures should be an essentia) part of the furnishings.
A little colored girl, a newcomer in Sunday school, gave her name to the teacher as “Fertilizer” Johnson.
Later the teacher asked the child's mother if that was right.
“Yes. ma’am, dat’s her name,” said the fond parent. “You see she was named fer me and her father. Her father’s name am Ferdinand and my name is Liza. So we named her Fertil- izer.”"—-Boston Transcript.

WOULD CUT OFF GERMAN TRADE WITH EMPIRE AFTER THE WAR
PREMIER HUGHES ADVOCATES A BOLTED DOOR
Points Out the Stupendous Follies of Former Decaded in Per mitting the Germans to Control the Trade in Many Nec- cessities Which Should be Within the Empire
Addressing the City Carlton Club, at a luncheon several weeks ago, Pre- mier Hughes of Australia returned to the question of the necessity for an immediate declaration of British pol- icy in regard to trade after the war.
The eyes of Britishers are open, said Mr. Hughes. A_ people slow to anger, unsuSpicious of guile in others, foolishly generous in throwing open their land to the world, offering sanc- tuary to all, even to those who pro- posed first to exploit and then to be-
told what the trade policy of Britata after the war is going to be, so thaé they can make their arrangements a@ cordingly.
If we are to attack this question ef fectively, there must be organizatio: We must attack it systematically an scientifically. We must see what Brit ain and the various parts of the empire, too, can produce not only with commercial, but with national profit. We must exploit every oppor tunity, develop every resource within

me what is at once the most appealing What stupendous folly it was that and hopeful sign 1s the unanimity | placed in the hands of Germany the with which the
eople recognize the futility of their former views of na- tional and economic life. They are ready to scrap everything in which they formerly believed in order to en- sure a decisive victory Over our ene- my. I emphasize the word ‘“‘decisive”’ for nothing short of a decisive victory will avail.
Germany's military power must be utterly crushed, for in no other way can the peace of the world be as- sured, Peace under any other con- ditions would be only a period of feverish preparation for another and even more fearful struggle. When the civilized world has lifted herself from the shambles, it must be able to rest itself on the sweet, green pastures of peace, unhaunted by the dreadful spectre of war. The British people are prepared to do anything necessary to achieve victory. They recognize that much has to be done, not only on the but in the fields of commerce and industry. They recog- nize amongst the chief causes of this war the desire of Germany to wrest from Britain her industrial and com- mercial supremacy. We must kill the hope’ that still buoys Germany up that after this war she will be able to win back that position in our com- merce and industry by which she was not only able to exact great tribute from us in the way of profits, to oust our manufacturers altogether from many trades, and.to make many ab- solutely dependent upon her for the raw materials of their industries, but to imperil our national] safety.
But if I have interpreted the tem- per of the people of the empire aright, they have determined that the end of this war will see not only the downtall of Prussian military power, but of that insidious and intolerable influence which had in very many eases reached a point when Germany actually dominated the trade, not only of this empire, but of that of our allies; and I rejoice with all my heart and soul to see how this feel- ing moves the people of Britain to- day. But this task which the people of the empire have set them- selves—the extirpation, root, branch and seed, of German contro] and in- fluence in British commerce and in- dustry—is'no light one. Its roots are embedded deeply in the very vitals of the economic organism. The influ- ences that are working in its interests are the more to be feared because they too frequently work beneath the sur- face. And the German cancer has eaten into our national body’ in such a fashion that we cannot cut it with- out seeming in some cases to cut into the healthy flesh.
There are some people in this coun- pif today—calling themselves British citizens—who would rather we lost the war than that the German trade with England and German influence in English trade should be lost. They do not say 80, of course, but beneath the surface they are with Germany.
I feel sure you know of the diffi- culties ahead of you, but that you are prepared to let nothing stand ft your way in your desire to free British trade, so that at the end of this war it will be in a position to meet the conditions that will then exist. And here we°may consider for a moment what ney will be. I said the other day the trade policy of Britain after the war ought to be declared without delay. I gave some reasons for this opinion, Let me now deal more closely with this matter?
What is the present effect of war on the economic life of our country? I may be pardoned for setting it out as I see it. Some milling of men have been withdrawn altogether from production, To these must be added very large numbers who are engaged in producing munitions, clothing, etc., for those in our army and navy. All these millions are engaged, along with the millions of the allies and of the enemy, in destroying wealth and life. Production is reduced to a bare mini- mum and is daily a diminishing quan- tity. Every day the work of destruc- tion goes on. Ships, bridges, railways are vitally essential factors in the modern industrial world, At the end of this war the world will be very poor, It will have wasted its sub- stance, It will have to set to work with all its might to produce more wealth, And millions of its most ef- fective producers will be dead. It will have to build more ships, bridges, factories, manufacture machinery and produce wealth generally.
monopoly of tungsten powder essential for hardening our steel, and the con. tro] of the metals which enter inte the warp) and woof of our industrial life, and which are the drawbridge to national] safety. We weré the pioneers of the textile industry. It is one of our great Industries. Many millions of capital, many hundred thousands of men are employed in it; but can any words sufficiently castigute a nation who permitted the dyes, without which the industry is clipped of its wings, to be in the hands of our enemy? The empire is capable of providing all the sugar consumed in Britain. Yet we placed ourselyes in bondage to Ger many and Austria, eating an inferior, article because it was cheap, while fertile sugar-producing lands through out the empire were allowed to lie idle. This war has rung the death knell of a policy of cheapness that took no thought for the social and in. dustrial welfare of the workinen, that mistook mere wealth for greatness, no matter whether the wealth was in our hands or those of German Jews,
Well, after this war, where are we going to get our suvgar—from_ the empire or from Germany and Aus tria? What new industries are we going to establish; what old ones are we going to develop? Where are we going to get the raw materials for our industries? What preparations are we going to make to cope with the great demand for ships, bridges, machinery, etc., after the war?
These are questions that ought te be answered now. To wait until the end of the war is to play directly inte the hands of our enemy, to help him to keep up his national apirits, to still the loud murmuring of the Germag people and the ever-increasing mise givings of the capitalists of Germany by the promise of brisk employment and good trade after the war. To de lay the public declaration of what oug trade policy is to be is to make the work of attempting to eradicate Ger man influence in our midst infinite! more difficult, and to make any radb cal change after the war impossible. To pretend otherwise is to throw dust in the eyes of the people, to play the ame of Germany, to prolong the war, indelibly to snp Britain as a ne tion of men no longer fit to carr: the great burden of empire. This our hour, our ep ing let slip, wil
ie portunity, which, be pass forever.

“You keep him quiet; you know he’s pretty bad, and one can’t tell yet how things may go. Somebody must sit hy him now until the nurses arrive, and if he recovers consciousness he mustn't be talked tc or Worried in any way. No questions must be asked. Just let him be kept as quiet as pos- sible.” Having given a few more di- rections, Dr. Barry left the room, and the Squire stood looking rather for- lornly towards the bed and the pat- ient, and wondering what to do next, when a soft knock sounded on the door. Mr. Merivale opened it at once, to find his supposed daughter-in-law on the threshold, her face almost grey with fear, her eyes very big and frightened, her hair falling round her like a torrent of gold. She was en- veloped in a white wrapper, trimmed with the flimiest of lace, and her whole appearance was so childlike, so pathetic, that the kind hearted Squire put his hand on her shoulder with a caressing gesture.
“Why, my dear, you look scared to
death,” he said, ‘come, come, you mustn’t take things to heart like this.”
“Is he—is he—” she stammered,
and Mr. Merivale patted her arm re- assuringly.
“My dear,” he said, “you must try not to upset yourself too much. Doce-
, tor Brentwood—”
“He isn’t dead, is he?” she inter- rupted feverishly, not entering the room, but stancaing just outside the door. “Daphne came, Daphne said he was lying unconscious somewhere out of doors, and I—it was so awful. I came—! was frightened. I didn’t know what had happened. It made me feel dreadful.”
“There, there, my dear,” the Squire murmured soothingly, “you are too sensitive; you mustn’t wear yourself out over other people’s_ troubles, though it is very sweet of you to be so interested when you have such sor- row of your own to bear.”
“I—” she began, then checked her- self, and, flushing deeply, said in more normal tones—‘I liked Doctor Brent- wood, he was always so kind to me. I could not bear to think he had been hurt. He is not dead?” There was excitement in her voice again, she into the Squire’s face with fresh terror in her eyes.
“No, no, certainly not. Of course he is not dead, he igs very ill, but he is alive. Don’t harrow yourself need- lessly. He was knocked down in the lane—”
“Knocked down?” Marjory chimed in faintly.
“Yes. Evidently some ruffian must have knocked him down from behind. We don’t know when it happened, but the doctor thinks he had been lying in the lane for hours, I daresay he haa taken the short cut across the park Jast night, he often went home that way, and some ruffian must have seen him and evidently knocked him down in the lane, though why anybody should want to knock him down neith- er Doctor Barry nor I can imagine. He was not robbou—the blow must pers been struck out of sheer mal- ce.”
“You are sure he isn’t dead?”
“Of course, I am sure.” Mr. Meri- vale smiled kindly; “come inside and have a look at him yourself. It will Teassure you.”
Very shrinkingly she followed the Squire into the room, one of the spare rooms hurriedly prepared for the patient, .nd when within sight of the bed she cast one fleeting glance toward it, only to shrink back at once in the direction of the door. The white face, so like death in its still- aoe, the closed eyes, the bandaged
ad, all awoke in her feelings of re- pulsion and horror, and ‘she shivered s0 uncontrollably that Mr. Merivale almost pushed her into the passage.
“You must not come in here.” ‘he said, seriously alarmed by her ap- pearance, “it upsets you far too much. Go back to your own room, and rest We will tell you all there is to tell: but’ you must not come back here again—it is bad for you.”
“T am silly, I know I am silly,” she faltered, smiling her bewitching smile into his face. Then growing grave again instantaneously, she whisper- ed: “It makes me think, it makes me re- member Denis and his illness. You must forgive me for being s0 weak and foolish.” With that smile and those few words she found it easy enough to disarm the Squire, who was rt all times her devoted slave; his passing annoyance at her hysterical and unbalanced behavior was quickly forgotten, and he watched her go slowly down the corridor, ‘his eyes full of admiration.
“Poor soul,” he thought, “how sen-
' gitfve she is, how highly strung. And
all this business must naturally re- mind her of our poor boy, and of her long spell of nursing. One must not blame her for being so easily thrown off her balance.
He wag still standing in the door- way, his eyes fixed on Marjory’s re- treating form, when from the other end of the corridor Daphne came to- wards him. She had changed her gown and was now wearing a simple linen frock—and though her face, like Marjory's w:.s very white, there was a quiet purposefulness about her ap- pearance very much at variance with the nervous excitement of the elder

“I have come to gee if I can help,” she said gently, when she had reached his side. “I saw Doctor Barry in the hall, and he says the nurses can’t be here yet, but that the patient is not to be left alone at all. Aunt Mildred is not down, and in any case, she is not fit to attempt any nursing; and you must go and have some break- fast. I will sit here for the present.”
“But my dear,” the Squire hesitat- ed, “wouldn't it be unpleasant for you after all tnat hag: happened? I can stay here; I am sure you would rath- er not help in here.”
‘Do you mean thaé I should not like to help just because Hugh anu I were once engaged?” she said simply. “Oh, no, Uncle Raymond, it wouldn’t be un- pleasant for me. How could it be? I’m only too glad to do what I can to help him. We are still very good friends, he and I.” j
“Yes—I know—and it is just like | you, little girl, to think only of help-| fulness,-and —ot at all of any embar-) rassment. You think Brentwood! would not mind?”
“T am gure he would not,” she an- swered, speaking now with much more certainty than before; ‘we are only friends, there is nothing for him to mind. It is much better to do the simple and straightforward thing. I will promise to watch him carefully and do everything Doctor Barry wish- ed; I will keep the patient quiet and watch over him very carefully. You can trust me, Uncle Raymond.”
CHAPTER XXVIII. Daphne's Vigil
Daphne sat motionless in the semi- darkened room, her eyes resting on Hugh’s white face, her hands locked together in her lap, her heart aching with anxiety, her brain in a turmoil c/ speculation and surmise.
Who could have done this thing? Why should any one have tried to hurt Hugh?—Hugh, who was so kind- ly and gentle to every living soul? These were the thoughts which per- sistently swung to and fro in her mind, whilst her eyes were fixed on the unconscious man. She had long since forgiven Hugh for the pain he had given her, and at this present mo- ment she could feel for him nothing but an overwhelming pity and tender- ness. To see the man she loved help- less and stricken stirred every wo- manly and motherly chord in her heart, and some of its aching was soothed by the thought that she could watch over him now.
“Be careful that he is in no way ex- cited. Keep him perfectly quiet,” Dr. Barry had said to her; “if he recovers consciousness and speaks, answer him in a normal, matter-of-fact voice. Don't let him worry his brain.” For an hour Daphne sat there in silence, and Hugh did not stir; then all at once he moved restlessly, and opened his eyes, a bewildered expression flit- tel over his face, and he put out his hands, saying in wistful accents that made the girl’s heart contract:
“Marjory—my—sweet.”
For an instant after speaking his eyes closed once more, but he opened them again almost at once, and--mov- | ed restlessly, his face growing troubled and anxious,
“Where am I?” he muttered, “why is it half dark? I can’t understand.”
Daphne rose quietly and, going to! the bedside, put one of her cool, soft hands on those restlessly moving ones.
“You are at Demberton Manor,” she said gently, “you are not very well and you are resting here until you are better.”
His brows drew together, there was a perplexed look in his eyes.
“Daphne,” he said: slowly, the color mounting to his forehead, “why are you—what des it mean?” Daphne's voice was very clam, very collected as she answered him; she spoke in perfectly natural tones, as though his being ill at the Manor were quite a normal event.

Opposition in the United States to Pre- vent Immigration Into Canada
An alleged plot to keep American immigrants. cut of Canada on the ground that) undue’ pressure was brought to bear upon them by the military authorities to force them to enlist for overseas service was Called | to the attention of the commons by Mr, H. H. Stevens, member for Vancouver. Mr. Stevens quoted American news- papers as circulating a report, said to have been sent out by the American | consu] at Vancouver, declaring that many Americans had gone back to the United States because of the eftort made in Canada to force them to en- list. So far as British Columbia was concerned, declared Mr. Stevens, this report was deliberately and malicious- ly false. ‘
Hon. Dr. Roche, minister of the in- terior, said that the Canadian immi- gration agents in the United States had called his attention to similar reports credited to the American consul at Vancouver, and the latter had been taken to task about it. The matter was being reported to Wash- ington. Dr, Roche added that very strong opposition was being encoun. tered in the United States to all ef- forts to promote American immigra- tion into Canada, and that false state- ments such as the ones referred to by Mr. Stevens were being largely exploit- ee”. ;

German Brutality
This Hun Boasted of Having Bayon- etted Women and Young Girls
The following is a translation of a letter’ quoted by Prof. J. H. Morgan in his book, ‘‘'German Atrocities: An Official Investigation.” It was writ- ten by a German soldier to a German girl in Hamburg, informing her of his having bayonetted several Trench wo- men and girls:
“Breal, the 16th March, 1915.
“Honored Miss or Mrs. Grete May- er,—Have received the parcel and best thanks for it. I was very glad to have received a present of comforts from Hamburg, for in the enemy’s country presents are hard to find. Dear Grete Mayer, I will send you a small present when I find one again, a ring from one of these shells which threatens us with destruction. (?) Dear Grete Mayer, I will arrange the ring so fine- ly that you will be able to wear it on your arm at once, and you have a nice souvenir from a German warrior who has been through everything from the start and has shot and bay- onetted so many Frenchmen, and | have also bayonetted many French. women. Dear Grete Mayer, I bayon- etted seven women and four girls in five minutes. In an engagement near Batovile. We had a house-to-house fight, and these women fired at us with revolvers, and they shot at the captain, too. I bayonetted them and did not shoot them, this herd of sows; they are worse than the men. We have dead and wounded every day. Vear Grete Mayer, I am a _ bomb- thrower, and have often crept up to within 10 metres of the enemy and have thrown him one_ into his trench; then they have fired flares to see me and tired at me, but have never hit me, and that is always the good thing. Dear Grete Mayer, if | live and get through it, I will seek out Grete Mayer; if this Grete May- er is still single and not engaged, | take the liberty (? to ask) that she send me her photograph so that 1 too may know from whom I have re- ceived my present.

Backyard Gardening
Scores of reports of the operations carried on in the season of 1915 by small householders speak of produce being grown worth from twenty-five to fifty dollars, every dollar of which means so much added to the wealth of the country as well as saved in the cost of living. Financial profit is not the only gain forthcoming. Lessons of industry and thrift are inculcated, and the whole household from the old- est to the youngest, come under the influence of those qualities. They also have the gratification of eating fresh vegetable, the enjoyment of which is tremendously enhanced. — Hamilton Times.

Australian Cattle Barons
Many “cattle barons” have been created in Australia by the profitable- ness of the live stock industry. The greatest of these ranch kings is Sidney Kidman, who airectly owns or con- trols 45,000 square miles, or 28,800,- 000 acres of land. His vast estates are scattered all over the country, and his time is practically all taken up going about from one property to the other and giving hig personal atten- tion to his enormous cattle interests. He owns and controls more land and live stock than any other one man. One of his ranches, situated in the States of Victoria, embraces in one tract 7,680,000 acres. It is stocked with more than 100,000 cattle.—W. D. Harnaday, in Breeders’ Gazette.
“ANURIC!”
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is.head of the Imvalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
. Y., Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- mation—as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sedi- ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has’ caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely “ Anuric” acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accom- pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-cent package of *Anuric,” manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or send a. pn a7 Pierce for a; large trial pac ¥ you susp kidne or bladder trouble send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce’s chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or le
Note: — French scientists affirm that “Anuric” is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be anny given to children, but should be. use’ only by wn-ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box—or more in extreme cases—as “Anuric” (thanks to Doctor Pierce’s achievement is by far the most perfect kidney an bladder corrector obtainable.

Germany’s Strong Man
Falkenhayn the Most Powerful Man in the Country
A new and more masterful spirit pervaded German strategy from the moment of Falkenhayn’s assumption of the control of military policy. There was no longer any sense of conflict be- tween political and military aims, still less of any evidence of the collision of wills. The disastrous experience of the first four months of the war had aged the Kaiser and modified his im- perious self-will. He was in the frame of mind to forget that he was the su- preme war lord and to distrust his own judgment, and Faikenhayn had the force and the adroitness to avail him- self of this fact. He established over his master an intellectual authority which left him the practical dictator of military policy. This ascendancy. has been confirmei by the success which attended his far-reaching and powerful strategy throughout 1915, and in pre- senting him wtih the Order of the Black Eagle the Kaiser used terms of flattery which almost touched the level of obsequious reverence. General] Falk- enhayn has fortified his position by an artful policy of excluding possible riv- als from access to his master. In an unusually informing analysis of the forces around the Kaiser at the pres- ent time, published in Le Temps, Mr. Hendrik Hudson, who, as a neutral, has spent a long time in Germany, de- clares that Falkenhayn is the most powerful man in the country—A.

A remarkable coincidence is re- lated in connection with the escape from death of Private 8. Cross, of the Dorset Regiment, an Australian with Weymouth connections. While on duty at Jefferson’s Post, in the Gallipoli Peninsula; he was struck in the chest by a bullet from a Turkish sniper. Cross had in his breast a Testament. containing a booklet of texts given him by Mrs. Drury, wife of Colonel Drury, of Weymouth, and various trifles. The bullet _ pierced half-way through the Testamént and perforated the ‘book of texts as far as and no further than the following:

WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi- cine Co,
Women who are well often ask ‘‘Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham ‘Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?” ‘‘Are they truthful?’” “‘Why do women write such letters? ’”
In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name, Never, knowingly, have we published. an untruthful letter, or one without the. full and written consent of the womap who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women. from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink- ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought: health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis- placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues,
It is impossible for any woman who is well and who has never suffered to realize how these poor, suffering wo- men feel when re- stored to health; their keen desire to help other women who are suffering as they did.

Fall of Tirpitz| On New Breaking
All His Schemes for the Grand Fleet Went Awry
The New York Herald’s naval cor respondent writes:
Grand Admiral von Tirpitz’s re- signation leaves opinion in naval circles unmoved. Such an announce- ment had more or less been expect- ed for a long time, ever since the naval secretary got the worst of the tussle last August over the conces- sion which Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg’s party agreed to make to Am- erican representations on the sub- marine war. That was undoubtedly arude shock to the grand admiral’s position and power. It seems he has never got over it,
The ‘change* made by the ap- pointment of Admiral von Capelle to succeed his old chief is therefore more apparent than real. The new secretary is known to be a disciple of Admiral von Tirpitz. He has had several years’ experience in the Marine Amt as controller and has certainly imbibed the doctrines of the grand admiral, who promoted him to the status of under secretary for the navy about three years ago. He is the man best fitted, therefore, to continue the sea war with the en- ergy promised in the German semi- official communique.
In one sense the work of Admiral von Tirpitz, which has run into its twentieth year, was finished some months ago. He built the German fleet, but it has not been his to de cide finally how it should be used in the war. Some persons have re garded him as the strategist of the German navy. In a measure he has been this because he produced the material of the navy and the man who is responsible for the material of war must necessarily have for- mulated in his own mind some idea for its use in action.
But while Admiral von Tirpitz may have had his schemes all ready for the employment of the German fleet, it is probablo that all or most of them depended for their successful execution upon the initiative resting in his hands. The principle underly- ing German naval administration for the last twenty years has» been that the fleet should deliver a big blow at the earliest possible moment and endeavor to catch the enemy off his guard. These hoped for conditions were not fulfilled. Consequently, many carefully prepared schemes were rendered useless. It is more than doubtful if Admiral von Tirpitz has formulated others during the progress of hostilities.
With the submarine it was differ- ent. This weapon was still more or less an experiment when hostilities began. It. had never been tried i. war. Thus the id-a of a submarine war on merchant ships may we'l have been a later product, designed to restore confidence in the German seamen. Grand Admiral von Tirpitz admitted in the interview in which he first announced the coming attack on merchantmen that he had learned a great deal about submarines in the war.
The German officers believed that they could scarcely remain longer than three days from their base. The said, as after that time their crews would be exhausted. But it was soon discovered that the larger types could go right round England and remain out for as much ag fourteen days at a time. That was in December, 1914. As every one knows, great develop- ments have taken place since.
It is a strange thing if the sub- marine’s employment as a commerce destroyer, for which Admiral von Tirpitz was no doubt primarily re- sponsible, has led to his retirement owing to political differences with his cabinet colleagues. He must have had scores of projects, well matured, went awry at the start when the British fleet seized the initiative.
Here is one scheme—apparently the
only one—which may be said to have been improvised, and it leads to his downfall, It seems quite likely that the true reason why the new cam- paign of frightfulness promised for March 1 never came to a head wag on account of the fluctuations in the rul- ing councils in Berlin, which have now culminated in the resignation of the Grand Admiral. A chicken breeder near Toronto is selling 1,200 day-old incubator hatch- ed chicks weekly, and says he could sell 12,000 if he had them.
GLASS OF WATER Upset Her People who don't know about food should never be allowed to feed per- sons with weak stomachs,
Sometime ago a young woman had an attack of scarlet fever, and when convalescing was permitted to eat anything she wanted. Indiscriminate feeding soon put her back in bed with severe stomach and kidney trouble.
“There I stayed,” she says, “three months, with my stomach in such con- dition that I could take only a few tea- spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at a time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought to my attention and | asked my doctor He said ‘yes’ and | commenced at once.
“The food did me good from the start and I was soon out of bed and recovered from the stomach trouble. I have gained ten pounds and am able to do all household duties, some days sitting down only long enough to eat my meals. I can eat anything that one ought to eat, but I still continue to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and supper and like it © »tter every day.
“Considering that I could stand only a short time, and that a glass of water seemed ‘so heavy,’ I am fully satisfied that Grape-Nuts has been everything to me and that my return to health is due to it.
“1 have told several friends having nervous or stomach trouble what Grape-Nutg did for me and in every case they speak highly of the food.”

Prepares the Soll for Wheat and Pro- vides Found Crop
J. H. Grisdale, B. Agr. Director Do- minion Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Says:
“For the new settler or the man with new breaking done before May 25 or 26, flax offers an opportunity for money making this year on this land such as is not possible with any other crop. ‘Breaking about three inches deep, 60 as to fill all openings or space between the furrows, and to conserve any available moisture, as well as make a solid seed bed, will be such a preparation as gives a fair chance of a fair crop of flax, if good seed is carefully sown before the first of June. Sow seed at the rate of 30 to 40Ib per acre
“Where wheat seeding has progress-
‘ed rather slowly it will often be ad-
visable to sow the last few acres in- tended for wheat to flax instead. The cash returns from the two crops are likely to be practically equal this
ear.
. “The flax crop will rot the sod on new breaking, and leave the soil in at least as good condition for wheat as if it had been summerfallowed. Be- sides, it will provide a substantial rev- enue, for flaxseed has averaged around $2 a bushel for several months past.”

Germany’s Vast Gun Output
It is well understood among naval men that the limiting element in the question of rapid construction of a navy is the speed with which the guns and armor can be produced.
Speaking upon this question, & critic of the United States navy plans draws attention to the fact that dur- Ing the naval agitation of 1909 in England, the then First Lord, Mr. McKenna, stated that it was not be- yond the power of the Krupp estab- lishments to produce all the guns and armor necessary lor eight dread- noughts per year. This output would be additional to the enormous home and foreign orders for war material taken care of at Kssen.
Hence, having in view the preseni increased size of the Krupp works, this authority believes that the Essen and affiliated factories could easily supply the guns and armor for all the dreadnouoghts and other ships which Germany is capable of build. ing.
This is true of no other country but Great Britain.

NEW STRENGTH IN THE SPRING
Nature Needs Aid in Making New Health-Giving Blood
In the spring the system needs a tonic. To be healthy you must have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap to renew their vitality. Na ture demands it, and without this new blood you wiil feel weak and languid. You may have twinges of rheumatism or the sharp stabbing pains of neur- algia. Often there are disfiguring pimples or eruptions on the skin. In other cases there is merely a feeling of tiredness and a variable appetite. Any of these are signs that the blood is out of order—that the indoor life of winter has lessened your vitality. What you need in spring is a tonic medicine to put you right, and in all the world of medicine there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These Pills actually make new rich, red blood—your greatest need in spring. This new blood drives out the seeds of disease and makes easily tired men, women and children bright, ac- tive and strong. Mrs. Eugene Cada- rette, Amherstburg, Ont., says: “I suf- fered for a long time from dizziness, pain in the back and sick headache, and nothing I took did me any good until I began Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These cured me after taking six boxes and I now feel better than ever I] did in my life. I had fallen off in weight to 82 pounas, and after taking the Pills I had increased to 100 pounds.”
These Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or can be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 fro- The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.
It is interesting to record, aays a special despatch from Simla, that the recent Winter had been the quietest on record for the past five years on the northwest frontier of India. Doubtless the strict neutrality main- tained by the Amir Afghaniston has contributed to this result. India con- tinues to make munificent war gifts and the manufacture of munitions is proceeding briskly, many shipments having been made already. The de- velopment of existing factories is re- ceiving the diligent attention of the government. The trade of India con- tinues satisfactory.

The Modern Scourge
and How to Meet it.
The speed at which we live, the hustle now so
necessary for success have unfortunately a very adverse effect on the nervous and digestive systems of Canadians. The baneful results, increased lately
to an alarming degree, often lay the seeds of more deadly trouble, but it will be satisfactory to learn
of the ever-increasing popularity in the Dominion, of the Great British Remedy, Dr. Cassell’s Tablets.
Dr, Ramsay Colles, J.P. of the City of Dublin, a man of high eminence in the scientific world, says :—‘‘I have great pleasure in expressing my satisfaction as to the curative effect of Dr. Cassell’s Tablets in cases of nerve troubles. From several cases which have lately come under my notice I am able to form the opinion that Dr, Cassell's Tablets constitute a safe and reliable family remedy, and appear to be specially effective for nerve and bodily weakness.”
Dr, Cassell’s Tablets are Nutritive, Restorative, Alterative, and Anti-Spasmodic, and of preat therapeutic value in all derangements of the Nerve, Digestive, and Functional Systems in eld or ye . They are the recognised medern home remedy for Dyspepsia, Nervous Breakdown,
tomach Catarrh, Kidney Disease, Nerve and Spinal Paralysis, Infantile Paralysis, Rickets, St. Vitus’ Dance, Anemia, Sleeplessness, Brain Fag, Headache, Palpitation, Wasting Diseases, Vital
Exhaustion, Less of Flesh, and Premature Deca during the Critical Periods of Life.

You Never Can Tell in This Army Never was 80 heterogenous an army as Kitchener's, now in France. You can never tell who the next prt
vate may be, professional, nobleman, or laborer.
An officer superintending the re ceipt of a large and varied stock of stores felt the need of a clerk, and told the sergeant-major to hunt one up from among the men.
The sergeant-major could not find a man who “pleaded guilty” to that occupation, but he eventually singled out a sober-looking private and took him before the officer.
“Are you a clerk?” demanded the captain.
“No, sir,” replied the man.
“Do you know anything about fig- ures?” asked the captain, sourly.
“I can do a bit,” replied the man, modestly.
“A bit!” snarled the officer, “is this the best man you can find?” said he to the sergeant-major.
“Yes, sir,” said the worthy.
“Well,” growled the captain, “I suppose I'll have to put up with him Turning to the private he snapped:
“What were you in civilian life?
“Professor of mathematics at College, sir!” was the reply.
Cotton Industry in Japan
The export of cotton piece goods from Japan has greatly increased since the war, according to the Brit- ish consul at Osaka. The mills are reported to have maue a big profit in the sale of shirtings and drills. From May, 1915, the diminution in stocks in Shanghai created a demand for Jap- anese goods, which increased steadily during the year. The mills, however, adopting the view that prices would go higher, showed no anxiety to push sales. This attitude appears to have been justified by results. It is re- ported that at the beginning of 1916 the mills were in the comfortable pos- ition of having sold their output for six months ahead, and there is a gen- eral impression that the position ‘thus gained in the cotton piece goods mar- kets of China and India is one which will be held.
Want Six Hundred Motor Boat Men The British admiralty wants six bundred Canadian motor boutman for service With the auxiliary patrol of the Royal Navy. Commander Arm- strong, who is in charge of the party of representatives, sent by the admir- alty to Canada to select the men, stated that they would visit every part of the Dominion and sce the vol- unteers in their own districts.
