Col, Hughes on Regulations----Drink- ing at Sunday School Picnics. Ottawa, May 31.--That the regula {ions concerning the eonsumption of lgtor by mien in camps will be rigid- fv enforced this year was the om- 1 hatic stdtement of Col. Sam Hughes, ininister of militia, when asked if there were any new regulations this year governing the consumption of Lquor in the training camps, "Regulations are the curse of the "world to-day," was the ¢minister's statement. 'They are nothing unless they are enforeed, and the existing ot ders concerning liquor will be strictly adhered to this year." The sale of liquor of any kind is 1 vohibited in camps, and it is said that during this season's camp a sirict watch will be kept for any private supplies" being brought into the lines. Canteens were abolished last year, and although it is stated that drunkenness in many of the camps adjacent to cities increased, they will not be permitted this year. That the minister has a very high rgard for the general sobriety of the Canadian militia was evidenced hy his remarkable assertion that "the Canadian soldier does not drink, and needs no regulations prohibiting his drinking. 1 venture to say that more drinking begins at Sunday school ex | carfions and pienics than at militar | training camps. I know, because 1| have seen it at the picnics," | was thel minister's half-jesting, half-serious re mark. } -- { EDUCATION OF MASSES. Object of _ International Peace! Foundation is Stated.

ASTOR'S YOUNG WIDOW To Entertain the Captain of the Carpathia. New York, May 31.-Capt. A. H Rostron, commaner of the Carpathia, upon which were refcued the 705 sur vivors of the Titanic, will be enter tained at luncheon, this aiternocn, by Mrs, John Jacob Astor. : Only members of she young widow's immediate family and a very few in timate friends wil meet the gallant satlor at luncheon. Mrs. Astor has been in strict retirement since Col. Astor's death and to-morrow's luneh- eon will be the first of any kind of social function in which she has par- ticipated. She is giving it merely to testify to her appreciation of Capt. Rostron's heroism in rushing his ship to the rescue of the Titanie's survivors and of his kindly attention to her while she was aboard the Carpathia. The Astor mansion in Fifth avenue. "Two Hreadnoughts." Toronto News, Ine people of this country are ashamed of being pensioners on the rest of the empue. 'Fhe citizens of all the provinces want to wipe out the stigma and take their place on that first line of derence which safe- guards their own security, their own liberties and British traditions and ideals the world over. In a growing sense they realize the vast significance of the empire for them- selves and for civilization every- where. Therefore they want to contribute in a very real and large manner towards its upkeep and maintainance. Moreover they take Mr. Borden and Mr. Hazen at their word and look for early action at Ottawa to meet the crisis in the for- tunes -of the empire. At the latest the coming eoce'sn of parliament, which meets probably in November should witness a con- tribution of two Canadian New Zealand's battleship in the Royal navy. Sueh an announcement would be a further warning to Ger- many that the lion's cubs are ga- thering about her and that they are growing big and powerful That, step having been taken, the govern= ment should proced ' without delay to the 'élaboration of a permanent nolicy of Canadian and imperial de- fence." Love Affairs of Handel. Women greatly admired Handel, who was very handsome, but the serenity of the composer sems only to have been ruffled twice by love on Nis part. His first attachment was to a London girl, a member. of the aristocracy. Her parents be- lieved him beneath her in social po- sition, but were good enough to say that if he abstained from writing any more music the question of mar iage might be entertained. It was easier to abstain from their daugh- ter than from his art, and he did so Years after almost the same thing occurred. Handel and another beau- tiful pupil of his fell in love with each other, and proud parents gave him the choice of giving up his pro- fession or their daughter. Music, "heavenly maid," was chosen.-- "The Love Affairs of Some Famous Men. The Forermnner. Mme.
