For the French are in Alsace. There is nothing m front of them, and if they wish they can walk right - through to the Rhine, "The Germans try to make the world believe. they hold Alsace still, for they cannot bear own fiat the French have won a peek Bat, 3 9 - sace, 0 well entablished, too--so0 'well that the have not dar- ed to attuck them for weeks. "It was due to the kindness of the military authorities that I was able to tour through the country. We left Belfort in the staff officer's motor car to make the round of the outposts. It is no wonder the Ger- mans have preferred to try an easfer way into France than these frontier fortnesses;, because, although Bel-| fort is strong, yet the others---Epi- nal, Verdun, Nancy and Toul --are 'little less formidable, You Have to watch a Frenchman's face as he looks at the tricolor floating in Al- sace to realize what it means to him to have regained that lost province after forty-four years of bitter wait- ing --to have Alsace again. Already French soldiers are repainting names on sign posts." MADE EMPEROR LAUGH. Captive French Gemeral Made Mere King Wait. Chicago, Oct. 7---The Chicago Daily News prints. the following as a cable despatch from Berlin: "An interview in a railway stat- ion between the Kaiser aud a cap- tured French general, while the King of Bavariw waited, is the subd- stance of a.story told by a wounded cavalry sergeant on sick leave. " 'In' the transport in which we were being sent home,' the sergeant sald, 'there were aleo French pris- oners, and among these a captured general who had at one time been military attache at Berlin. The train stopped at the station where the kalser came down the platform, the general among the prisoners, after much argument, ma- naged to gel an officer to take his card to the emperor. When he saw the name the Kaiser ordered the pri- soner brought to him and a long conversation between them followed. They talked for fifteen minutes, and the kaiser laughed aloud several times. I have never seen Him laugh before --smile, yes; but laugh nev- er, "'F tell you, gentlemen,' the en- tire compartment was listening to his story by this time, 'that was an interesting picture---the kaiser look- ing up at the great Frenchman --He was one of those tall, handsome, black haired fellows, and you know that our Kalser is not a tall man -- and down at the end of the platform thé King of Bavaria was waiting for the kufser. And you know that it is very exveptional for the kaiser to 8 to any one for more than four or minutes; and he talked to this mun for all of a quarter of an hour." Many a good story has been spoil- ed by sticking to facts. THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, 0CTO™ 8, 1914 GIRLS ! Stop Washing Hair! Try This! Mankes Hair Glossy, Soft And Abundant.

That' ambiti- ou may possibly animate him now, but his refusal to be crowned on accession was due to, pique. - His dearest wish was to be crowned, not German emperor, like his two pre- decessors, but emperor of Germany, after the manner of Charlemagne. He made elaborate preparations for the ceremony, but to his intense chagrin the rulers of the minor Ger man states, always jealous of Prus- sian predominance, refused to grant him the title. Whereupon he decid: ed not to be crowned at all. in LIEGE DEFENDER RECOVERING. Cured of Wounds But Still Stiffering From Gas.

"Liberal measures on behalf of the Finus are also being prépared,"' Chance For Rifié Shooting. Ottawa Journal With ' the approach of unfavorable weather conditions, when training in rifle shootmg will be impossible out of doors, officers commanding units of the active militia, captains of rifle clubs and principals of cadet corps are reminded of the facilities afforded in the use of the Esdale gallery target for indoor shooting. In view of the outstanding importance of training in the use of the rifle at the present time, attention is directed to the gen- eral order of the militia department requesting officers to take the neces- sary steps to ensure that these tar- gets are made use of more generally. the regulation reads as follows : "hLadale targets may be issued op the approval of the officer command- ing divisions or districts to militia units afid cadet corps in the propor- tion ot one target to each unit of forty members or less. Units using these machines may draw free of charge one roll of paper targets an nually for each five members.' Thus it will be seen that all officers interested in promoting the shooting efficiency of the various branches of the service as represented in the .ac- tive militia or rifle elubs may requisi tion for this gaMery target, which lends itself admirably for indoor rifle shooting, and thus without ex- pense to their corps, utilize the ad- vantages afforded in same during the winter season, when outdoor work is not practical. Such activities will prove most eflective in holding the members of the militia together dur- my the long winter months; and at the same time will offer to civilians anxious to equip themselves at the present time for assisting in the --de- fense of their country the necessary means of gaining a practical experi ence in the use of the modern rifle #0 Notes Of Interest.
