Ay, ¢ ¥ BRITISH TRIBUTE TO GLORIOUS WAR RECORD i -- Splendid in § : ie Fighting Qualities; Says English- 'men Serving With CEF. _ The Sphere, one of London's fam- ous fllustrated weeklies, publishes an elaborate second - of the Sadia editionary Force. It is called "From Valcartier to Valenciennes." A record of the glories of Canada's ian Army" It is written as a tribute from an Englishman serving with the C.E.F. Some quotations are here made from it: ~The great Dominion lived spacious- ly apart, secure in her immensity, and fmmune from the entanglements of d strife. The hour of war struck without warning. - And when war came to England, the Englishman looked questioningly at his brothers beyond the seis. In the past there had been no little flag- wagging 'and more than enough talk that "blood was thicker than water." But now? Now that England had need of her sons beyond the seas, would they answer her call? So far as Canada went there was no 'need to call. With unerring instinct, the Dominion realized .that this was fi of right against might--of' racy against deguocracy. With } eous unity, the people of Can- ada arose and threw all they had into the Motherland's lap. The first of their gifts, apart from their love and their loyalty end their whple-hearted aid, was a full, 'division equipped and armed for the field--a gift bestowed by cable. On <4 - October 14, just over two months later, 'the first contingent, 33,000 strong, landed on the shores of Eng- CANADA'S pirit, in Valor and in flung into the Sreach ut Ypres, were thankful for the 3 had made them the days, acquitting themselves like vet- erans, they bere the brunt of perhaps the most sanguinary battle of the war, and withstood the seemingly endless onslaughts of the outnumber- ing hordes of Huns, A month Jater came Festubert, when there wag bitter fighting in the initial stages of the Aumbers Ridge offensive. In June, at Givenchy, they continued that offensive from September the Canadian artillery lent a hand in the famous battle of Loos. In April, 1916, they fought the terri- ble and inconclusive battle for the possession of mine craters before St. Eloi. In June they played their part at Sanctuary Wood, when the Ger- mans made their third attempt to "break through." In September they won a great victory on the Somme and at Courcelette, while @ month later they took Regina Trench after some of the bloodiest fighting of the war, Rested and reorganized, the Cana- dian Co won the Vimy Ridge in April of 1917. It was a position which the enemy had alwys regarded as impregnable. In July came the tofnadic and triumphant attack on Hill 70, and in October and November the four bitter battles which finally won for the Canadians the possession of Passchendaele. This year, in three months of glory, the Canadians won, too, Amiens; Arras, and Cambrai, For the Canadizns, Cambrai will live beside Ypres in the greatest de- fensiye fight they have ever fought; Cambrai their most splendid and vie- torious offensive, t After all this desperate strife, after ding-dong battle by day and night for months, the Canadians, still unwear- ied, still advancing, captured Valen- ciennes!

The quanti to October 2, the Canadian Corps cap- tured 26,630 prisoners, 501 guns, 8,000 machine guns and mortars, and wiles of beleaguered France. During the period alone the corps engaged 47 enemy divisions, of which 40 were fully and seven partially engaged. From the first the Canadians were "shock troops." And the marvel is how these purely 'civilian soldiers, men with no military traditions, ad- apted themselves to the complex me- thods of modern warfare. General Currie, their leader in the field was himself a Canadian business man be- fore the war; to-day he is recognized ag one of the 'most able corps com- manders in the British Army. 4 w complete goldiers they then were.

Activity in the World's Steel Trade Should Create a Demand. Australia is second "in importance among British territories" producing tungsten ores, In Qu d many of the principal 'mines have quite re- cently been acquired by one of the largest of the concerns which have es- tablished tungsten reduction plants in Great Britain since the war, and the progress for this branch of mining in Queensland. Wolfram is mined in New South Wales and Victoria, while img portant quantities of scheelite, an- other ore of tungsten, are obtained in New Zealand and in Tasmania. 'Wolfram is also obtained as a by-pro- duct of the Cornish tin industry and has received special attention during the last four years, Canada has be- come a producer chiefly of scheelite, mined in Halifax county, Nova Sco- tia, and deposits are also known-in Rhodesia. It is difficult to foresee the future of tungsten, but it is worth while to examine: the considerations which would lead one to form an opinion. It would be optimistic to expect a con- tiduance of the eager demand and handsome prices realized at times dur- ing the last four years. If a general commercial depression and a fall in the world's demand for steel were to take place tungsten would suffer as 'would many other commodities. On the other hand. activity in the world's steel trade should support the position of tungsten. Its popularity among the steel. makers as a steel hardener would seem to Be established for the pre- sent. The pobsibility may alse be borne in mind that the results of scientific research, which has been continuously conducted during the war, may lead to new uses for the metal. Tungsten proved to be a dominating factor in military power as soon as, it was recognized that modern war must be waged with thousands. : Its individual power in times of peace may prove equally great. tet se ae, "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP." A Phrase Frequently Occurring in Treaties Afterwards Broken. One spot seems to have been over- looked in the search for the thing that might have prevented the present war, The makers of most of the peace history mot certainly have done their duty in this direction. In fact, a glance over the firsf.article of most of these treaties brings more than a smile to the lips of the reader. They read like a joke. Short and to the point is the first article of the Russo-Turkish Treaty of Again, apart from their capacity for leadership in the field and a gen- jug for stern and brilliant fighting,! their gift of adaptability made them masters in other branches of modern war, The Canadian system of light ty of timber required by | 1918, » out the tween the two empires." b; same sentiment in many more words.

Diet for a Cold. A When a cold first starts physicians usually advise a light laxative diet, consisting chiefly of hot lemonade or orangeade, broths or gruels, with crisp toast, baked potatoes, mild stewed fruits and vegetables. After this for a few days, until the cold seems to be broken, it is well to eat an ordinary diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
