How the British Make Roads For the Forward Movement. It is interesting to stand behind a battery of British howitzers and watch the guns in action. The men show the high morale which is in evi- dence throughout the British Army. They whistle and sing and bandy grim je'sts as they work. As the firing button is pressed the crew jumps back for a moment from the gun carriage, but have leaped again to their allotted posts before the easy acting recoil has returned the mammoth weapon to its original position. It is easy to dis- tinguish the scream of a departing projectile from one which is being sent in return by the Germans, and the onlooker can watch without diffl- 1 culty the black base of a British shell | as it travels In a long loop. \ The forward movement of the Brit-i ish on so wide a front has brought into play all the machinery of motion in ' warfare. Roads seem to spring up overnight in most unexpected places. \ Railways have audaciously flung themselves forward regardless of mud and shell holes, and with a com- pleteness which even includes most pretentiou.s sign posts bearing the names of French villages which exist now only as peographical remnants. It is also B revelation of the intensely practical side of modern war to see a â- ix-inch water main stretching itself Into territory but recently occupied by the Germans. Road-building has called into play all the ingenuity of pioneer bat- talionis, composed not only of e.xperi- enced British workmen, but of real pioneers from the prairies and moun- tains of Canada and the far lands of Australa.<ia and South .\frica. Road material i^ ."jcarce in the stricken wil- derness of N'o Man's Land, but the re- fuse of battle often serves the pur- pose duriiijr the first hours of a new forward move. Broken rifles, bits of clothing, fraKments of shells and oc- casionally a few shells themselves that fail to explode are used in the founda- tion of the new paths. The remains of a recpiiHy evacuated village bring great joy to the pioneers, for that means a temporary supply at least of much desire<l broken brick and stone. •> Fooled *Em. "It is remarkable," said Mr. Grunt- ler, "how mean .^ome people are. I had with rie on a fishing trip two friends whi) evidently were familiar with my reputation as an angler. Be- fore starting, one of them made the followinp: suggestion: 'We will agree that the /irst one who catches a fish must treat the crowd.' I assented to this, and we started. Now, don't you know, th ise twc folows both had a bite, and were too mean to pull them up." "I suppo.sc you lost, then?" remark, ed the friend. i "Oh, «i.>,"' replied Mr. Gruntler. "I didn't h;'.ve any bait on my hook." i Mrs. H. J. Tennant Assistant director of the Woman's Department of National Service in Britain. Mrs. Tennant is the second wife of the Right Hon.

SPRING IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD A Tonic Medicine is a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are an all year round tonic, blood-builder and nerve-restorer. But they are especially valuable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying ami en- riching, and every dose of these pills helps to make new, rich, red blood. In the sprir.g one feels weak and tired â€"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appetite is often poor â€" Dr. Williams' Pink Pin's develop tl\g appetite, ton* the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boilsâ€" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills speedily clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- tion, neuralgia, erysipelas and many other troubles are most persistent be- cause of poor, weak blood,, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Some people dose themselves with purgatives at this season, but the.~e only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, empty- ing the bowels, but it does not cure anything. On the other hand Dr. Williams' Pi:ik Pills actually make new blood which reaches every nerve and organ in the body, bringing new strength, new health and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women niid children. Try Dr. Williams' Fink Pills this spring â€" they will not disap- point you.

Heads Are Only Kept .Vbove Water by the Help Sent to Them. "I don't know any better way in which to picture the state of the Bel- gian nation to-day than to compare thorn to a drowning man, who i-i al- most on the point of exhaustion, and who is only saved from drowning by a friend holding his head above water." Such was the statement made re- cently b.\* M member of the Central Belgian Relief Committee at Mont real. "The Belgian nation." he said, "are absolutely at that point where they can see the goJden sun of deliverane • rising on ihVhoriT.on, liut will in- evitably perish before the deliverance comes unles-i stronger am! more for- tunate people liold their heads above the ocean of want which is threaten- ing to engulf them. "From day to day a very large pio- portion of tht: iiopulation exist only on the scanty allowances which the Bel- gian Relief Commission i.s able to hand out to thtni through the organi/- ation they have covering that unhappy land. "So great is the nee<! that the com- mission has to collect the children in the school.'* every day and feed them- selves, so that parents shall not give favorite children more th:«!i the com- mon allowance, and so cause others to run .short.

Surely thul .Methods Employed by British and French in Fighting U- Boats. There are two general methods in vogue for "eliminating" submarines, says an English writer. i The French are given to ".spearing" from aeroplanes. As nearly as may be learned, the operators fly at consider- able height until they catch .sight of I a possible victim. Then they dive within range and endeavor to land a 1 bomb where it will do the most good. I The British commonly employ a â-  less spectacular method. They trawl as they would for food-fish. If they net a submersible, they telegraph down by the Morse code<o it to come up or be blown up. It is rather instructive to note how each nation employs the implements with which it is especially familiar. . The French are beyond all other na- tions masters of the air; tile British, of the seas. The British naturally must have the most to show for their efforts because of their habit of taking submersibles "alive," but there are no statistics to prove which methoil of operation is actually the more productive. In fair fight, a trawler has all the best of it, and the Germans have come to realize this. The boats are heavily timbered and they can well stand the kind of attack which a subsca-boat can deliver with its light guns, al- though one shell from the trawler means the destruction of the U-boat if it lands fair. That i.s why you al- ways hear of U-boats, though they may summon a trawler by gun-tire to the aid of a doomed vessel's crew, al- ways submeririi^g before the rescuer arrives. .\nd that is why we believe the arming of all merchantmen will defeat Germany's last move. ^ .> TANKS OF 1860. These Were Much Smaller Than the Present Ones. French "tanks" existed as far back as 1800, or rather they were invented then by a Frenchman named Balbi, and submitted for the approval of Na- poleon III. Balbi called th^'m moving fortres.ses," .'(nd. in the absence of ex- plosion motors, uscil steam .is a driv- ing power. They were much smaller affairs tha:; the present "tanks," mounting only two guns, hut fitted so lliat ijuite a number of men could ride in them ami use their rifles. They wer;' iroi:cUid and sufflcienliy armed to resist any artillery of tho.*,- d;iy.\ They were provided witi> lances and .-.hears worked by stcani, and which whei' put it'to movement revolved rapidly .iiul i-ontinuously around the base of the fortress in a manner to cut anytlini); to pieees that got in its I way. I .4 special .system of flexible axles was employed, enabling thi eoutriv- aiice to go over any kind of ground and to nianoei;vre in any direction. Notwithstanding that the few ma- chines made of this pattern gave every promise of success in a series of exhaustive trials, they were never adopted by the army, and those that ' were constructed now figure, dilapi- dated ar.d neglected, among the relics of the iitiMevy niii.sciim. ( AI^TAIN (.YF. White Tvrier Who Was a Patient In a French Hospital. k British soldier stationed at one of the hospitals in France tells of a pleasing incident in which a dog play- ed the main part. We have had an unusual patient, he writes. .A. little write terrier came trotting in with rather a nasty gash in his side. He went straight into the receiving room and virtually asked to have his wound dressed. Kn officer dressed it and sent him off. He re- turned twice at different times during the day to have the dressing changed. He turned up the next morning, and, for a joke, a sergeant made out a pro- per sick report and sent it along with the sick reports of the chaps who had reporteil for treatment that morning. In due course the medical officer came to this report and called out, "Trooper Gyp, Eighth D.L.I." â€" the heading that the sergeant had put on the report. The initials in this in- stance stood for "Doggy's Light In- fantry." Of course there was no answer. The medical officer glanced at the sick chaps waiting for attention, and again called out, "Which of you is Trooper Gyp?" Just then the sergeant entered and explained matters. The medical of- ficer took the joke in good parr, dress- ed the dog's wounds and entered him in proper fashion: ".Shell wound in side; admitted into hospital.'' Gyp has now taken up his quarters in the park store, and nothing can per- suade him to move. He goes out for a stroll every morning but always re- turns. He has, however, been promot- ed, and is now Capt. Gvp, Eighth D.L.L The Future of Serbia. Not the least of the problems that Serbia must face ia the threatened lack of professional men when the en- emy is driven out of her country and the task of peace can command atten- tion once more. Obviously, with all her men at war and so many of them eliminated forever from taking part in the reconstruction, Serbia's hopes centre in the rising generation, and it is with this in mind that Britain has undertaken the education of over :iOl) youths. Despite the fact that the Serbian Relief Fund is relieved of part of the expense, the clothing and feed- ing and incidental e.xpenses are cost- ing a large sum of money, which in itself is but a fragment of tb.e drain on the funds of the relief work being carried out in Corsica and Corfu. The Canadian Serbian Committee ha.s every assurance that the funds are being administered with the utmost economy and efficiency by the Briti.sh Committee. .V Wooden Cross.
