A Canadian gentleman who re- cently returned to Canada was in Strassburg when the war broke out, and had been there for a few days before war became imminent. He says that in Alsace there were three currents of opinion, prior to the out- break. First, thére were those, mainly of the older generation, who refused to abandon in any particular their aspirations as Frenchmen, for although their native tongue is Ger- man, they were on the: French side in the last war, bore the first shock of 'the combat, and have never as- sented to the permanence of the German acquisition. Second, there were those, who waiving thé questi- on of national preference, though still of French sympathies, sought to make the best of a bad situation, hoping thus to avoid continual clash- es wit the . Prussian authority. Third, there were men of a genera tion born after 1870, who had nev- er known French rule and who were disposed to nieet the Germans a good half-way in the hope of even- tually removing the internal strife. But when war broke out all these differences were swept away in a twinkling, One could- tell, without a mistake in a hundred cases, which were Alsatfans amd which were Ger- mans. Was a man active, confident, aggressive-looking, he was a Ger: man. Did he move along sad-faced regretful, he was Alsatian. The Al- satians were off to fight for Ger- many, but their hearts were all with France. Mercifully, the Alsa- tians were sent off to the Russian frontier. German regiments were brought in to hold Alsace. Forty years and more of aggressive Ger- manizing had left Alsace French at heart, although the Alsatians are of German race and speak German.

Collet of the Royal Mar. ine Artillery --First*British Avia- tor to Loop the Loop--Flew 275 Miles Without a Stop. a London, Sept. 26---C. the hero of the aerial raid into Ser- many, is a lieutenant of the Royal Marine Artillery. He took to fly- ing a year ago, and scon proved himself a remarkably fine pilot. Lieut. Collet was the first to show what a competent pilot could. do with a heavy biplane, which the Ad- miralty bought in Leipzig lasteyear. With a German pilot in this ma- chine it used to limber 'around the aerodrome near London, bit" when Collet took chargé it Became a dif- ferent vehicle. One of the sights of | the aerodrome wis to see him stand (he. machine vertically on one wing, tip to perfofm "an aweé-inspiting spiral for a thousand feet. «Early this yédr Collet had this bi- plane fitted for a long, non-stop flight, the" passenger space being fit: | ted with an enormous petrol tank. Thus equipped he flew from Ply- mouth to Grimsby, about 275 miles, then alighting through a faulty en- gine. It was his original intention to fiy to the north of Scetland. Later Lieut. Collet lToopéd the loop in a Caudron biplane, and was the first of the army aviators to: per- form this feat. He has great stay- ing power, fine hands, and a good eye, and was thus eminently suited for the raid on Dusseldorf. H. Collet, { Lived In Manitoba, Winnipeg, Sept. 26--Lieut. C. H.

Toronto, Sept. 26--It seems pro- bable that all Ontario surgeons whose services have been placed at the disposal of the Pritish war offi- ce must, be rejected, owing to the lack of necessary registered qualifi- cation, A cable from London re- ported 'that Sir William Osler and Dr. Donald Armour, as eminent Ca- nadian surgeons in London had been called in consultation to con- sider the cases of a number of Can- adians, chiefly Ontario doctors, whose services had been offered but not ac- cepted by the war 'office. These two gentlemen are stated to have is blameless in the matter, and is de- barred from utili%ing the services of Ontario medical men, whooare legal- ly unable to practise in Britain. They took the ground, however, that the matter was entirely in the hands of the Ontario authorities, who could alter the position of Ontario medi- cal men at once if they desired hy providing for reciprocal medical re- gistration. rrr die COL. LOWTHER IMPROVING. He is in the American Hospital at Neuilly. London, Sept. 26<=+Colbhel" Low- ther, ex-military secretary ' to the Duke of Connaught, who was wound ed in the battle of Aisne, is pro- gressing satisfactorily at the Ameri- can Hospital at Neuilly, 'and hopes to be back in the thick of it shortly. Colonel Lewther gives a graphic account of the battle; and mentions that his horse was killed under him, and that one piece of shell tore away one of his spurs, while another inflicted a slight, wound on his foot, and a third striking him on the chest. Colonel Lowther emphasizes the fact that this is..a far different affafr from that in South Africa, that the German legions were thor- oughly trained soldiers, and it need ed trained men to compete with them. « x To Kaiser & Co.
