These facts are contained in a report by Provincial Fire Marshal Heaton to the Department of Agriculture. One-half of these fire3 could be avo'ded, says the Fire Marshal in pointing out that fires in 600 barns involved a lost; cf over a million dollars and seriously interfered with supplies in these times where the urgent call is production. He says it Is equally important to preserve our products from loss by fire. Three very simple suggestions are thrown out: (1) Install lightning rods on barns and save fires from lightning; (2) The crops should not be put in until it is certain they have been properly cured; (3) Ventilate the barn so that giisses caused by the fermentation of imperfectly cured crops will be sur< essfully carried off. RED CROSS HEROES A correspondent writes this week from British Headquarters in France: From the high ground it is possible nowadays to see the devotion to duty of the Red Cross stretcher-bearers. They can bo seen from time to time in the very thick of the battle, with sheds bursting all about them. They are not immune--these non-combatants--for the shells have a distinctly impersonal way of killing most of those with whom they come in contact. In the last few days' fighting the correspondent has seen stretcher-bearers fall under the fire. They seem to have a valor all their own. They have none of the excitement of the actual fighting, and must go cooly about their duty with death ever near them. They grow remarkably indifferent to their fate, and there is never a word of command needed to keep them at their tasks. WAR CONFERENCE IN PARIS At a conference of the Allies held in Paris, last week, a full discussion of the war situation took place, and a complete accord was reached, according to a semi-official communication issued Saturday from Paris. David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister; M. Rihot and other members of the French Cabinet; Gen. Petain and Gen. Xivelle, Vice-Admiral De Bo:!, chief of tire Naval General Staff, and the Italian Ambassador, Marquis Raggi, and \. E. Iswolski, the Russian Ambassador, were present. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, Commander of the British forces in France, also FRATERNIZE AT FRONT Fuss, and Germans Established Virtu. A special correspondent wrote last week: Not a shot has been fired on the Austro-Russian front in more than a month. There has been no real activity on the German-Russian sector. At many places Russian and Garman soldiers are fraternizing, metting unarmed in No Man's Land. So general has become the habit of fraternizing, and so complete*/ has the fighting spirit been subdued, that General Gourka, Commander of Russian forces on the Minsk front, issued a formal statement warning his forces to beware of a German ruse. He contended the Germans' l'riendlines., was part of their plan tg obtain information of Russian condi- Dublin, R. J. Kelly, K. C, nan foresaw the cousue c jountrymen.

Executors' Notice to Creditors i MILTJKOFF'S FINE STAND Addressing a delegation of soldiers and workmen from the balcony of tha palace at Petrograd, Prof Milukoff said last Saturday: "Never shall Russia consent to a separate peace. We look, then, for your trust, which is the wind that is to make our ship go forward. I hope you will supply us with that breeze, and that your confidence will aid us in propelling Russia towards liberty and prosperity and in upholding the dignity of our great free country."
