Disguised German Desperadoes Sent to England. That spies of Germany have been very active among us for the past ten years cannot be denied, but in this, the third year of war, Great Britain may certainly congratulate herself upon the possession of a very adequate and effective system of counter-espionage and, indeed, upon having secured a veritable strangle- hold upon the enemy's spies, writes Wm. LeQueux in the Weekly Scots- man. To the average man or woman the working of the Intelligence Dep irt- ments of both branches of the ser vice is shrouded in mystery, as must obviously be.

Since ths outbreak of the European war, about fifty American industrial corporations have opened branch es- tablishments in Canada.

The salary of $20,000 a year is attached to the post. But Lord Devonport refused to touch a cent of it. The honor of serving thj country was enough, he said, for him. As has been said, that service brought him into almost unparalleled unpopu- larity, though it gained him the re- spect of those who like to see a man stand through thick and thin by what he believes to be right. Lord Devonport, in spite of all his haril work, is great at outdoor pur- suits. He loves a tramp through the stubble after the partridges. He is a great gardener, and yachting and boating are also among his hobbies. FARMS FOR VErERANS. What the C. I'. R. Is Doing For Re- turned Soldiers. I The decision of Lord Shaughnessy to provide, through the department of Natural Resources of the C. P. R., farm homes for many of the returned scldiors, is a further proof of his desire that those who take part in the war will have recognition of their services. This subject received much attention during the past year. "The extent and magnitude of tho work of preparing 1,000 farms will be realized when it is noted that it involves: Building 1.000 houses, building 1,000 barns, constructing 1,300 miles of fence, digging 1,000 wells, breaking and cultivating 50,000 acres; the build- ings will require about 20,000.000 feet of lumber to erect* The preparation of the farms will entail an expendi- ture of about $3,500,000. One thou- sand farm.A will of course provide for an extremely small proportion of re- turited soldiers who will want to ob- tain farm homes, and the Dominion Government must adopt some general policy of providing these homes. How- ever the Canadian Pacific Raibvay has led the way in frying to solve the pressing and troublesome question ami no doubt the Dominion Govern- ment will announce its general scheme. An examining committ.^e will select the prospective farmers. There will be inspectors and advisors to help the soldiers from the tim.' they get on the land. Under the im- proved farm scheme ItiO acres may be allowed to a settler and under the assisted colonization scheme as much as 320 acres may be allowed. The terms of payment for the land are very easy. WOMEN AS BANKERS. Sav London "Oo-oo!" screamed the pretty girl, a nice, decorous, surprised little scream .
