Is Re-Named the 'Canada'--Will be Used to Facilitate Military Opera- tions. by Keeping Archangel Open During Winter. GUttawa, Oct. 28. --The Lady Grey, the Canadian ice-breaker which has in past years done such good work in the St. Lawrence every winter, has been sold to' the Russian gov- ernment and has now arrived in Archangel, : The Lady Grey, with another Ca- nadian jce-breaker, the J. T. Horne, will be uséd to keep the only Rus- stan winter port on the White Sea, that of Archangel, opén during the winter and thus fdcilitate military operations in the present war. Both vesyels were plirchased through the Russian embasdy at Washington, an official from that office having been in Ottawa weeks ago to conclude arrangements. : The Lady Grey was sold by Can- adm, not because it was undesirable to retain her here, but because the need of the Russian government foor such a vessel was urgent and it was recognized that it was in the gener- interest that it should be supplied. For navigation on the St. Lawrence this winter there will still remain the Montcalm, the Minto and the Stanley, while a giant new {ce- breaker, the largest in the world, is now rapidly approaching com: pletion and will soon be ready for use 'by the marine department. A cabled message from M. Tima- shelf, minister of commerce in the Russian government, was received by H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, as follows: "I beg your Royal High- ness to accept a respectful suppres- sion of profound gratitude which I hasten to present in the name. of all interested in the Archangel sea route for the valuable aid given by Canada in providing the fine ice- breaker 'which has now sefely ar- rived at Archangel, 'it is re-named 'Canada' in commemoration of the assistance rendered by the Tanadi- an' government." The Lady Grey is a steel lee-breaking 'paspenger and freight steamer, designed by Charles Du- guid, marine architect of the marine dapartment, and was built by Vick- ers Sons 'and Maxim," Barrow-in- Furness; Great Britain, for winter navigation in the Strait of Northum- Lemrand to keep up steam communi- 'ation between Princes Edward Is land and the mainland. She is 249 feet long, 47.7 feet Wide and 24.' fest . deep Her tonnage is 2.58" gross and 920 net, with a disnlace- nent of 3,340 toms and she is fit- ted with wireless apparatus PAULHAN IN MID-AIR DUEL. French Aviator Killed a German Flier. Paris, Oct. 29.--A thrilling adven- ture of which Louis Paulhan, the fam- ous aviator, was the hero is related in a report . printed by a provincial paper, Paulkan, who was one of the first aviators to aequire worldwide fame, retired some time ago and it was un derstood that he intended to devote the of his life to raising flow ers to be used in the manufacture of perfumes. It now appears that he is serving in the army as an aviator with the rank of lieutenant, Paulhzn's mechanic says they were flying toward Amiéns on October Ist and passed over the German army at a height of 8,000 feet. "As"we flew over the aviation park we were saluted hy a volley from the special aircraft cannon used by the Germans," he says. "We were laugh- ing at their attempts when suddenly, to. Gir great delight, a 'boche' aero plane which hitherto . had heen con- cealed by a cloud appeared beneath us, "I loaded the mitraflléuse and Paul han allowed the machine to descend slightly. We gained on the German rapidly and when we" were at the same height and only 200 yarda away I prepared to fire. As he perceived us he made a diving turn. 'That was the end of him. He offered a splen- did ( target and when I saw him ap- pear between the sizhts of the gun | pressed the trigger and bang ! down he went. "In triumph we watched the terrible fall. "I cold not but feel some pity for those brave men who died trying to flee before us.'" : The descent of the French aeroplane brought 'ft within range of the Ger- man ghns. Several bullets struck the engine, which began to fail. But the mechani held his finger against a bul- let hole in the gasoline tank. This én- abled "the" Krenclunen to tand safely within their 'own "lines, While they were making repairs Uhblans attacked the forty soldiers wh had come to their assistance. The me- chanic, still seated in the aeroplane, worked his mitrailleuse and two score Frenchmen charged the enemy with bayonet 2. Twelve of the Germans were killed and eight were wounded. The French lost three killed and five wounded and took a number of prisoners. --s ARRANGE TO LEND MONEY. Famous rest Syndicate Will Assist to Rebuild De- stroyed Homes. London, Oet. 29.<On the initiative oi the directors of the Antwerp Peo-| ple's bank, according | to an Amsterdam despatch to the Daily Chronicle, there has been formed an association which will lend money to .Antwerp house owners to help them rebuild. Import. ant British interests are concerned in the negotiations. An architects' com- mission is already making a complete survey of the damage done to the city. -------------- An Aged Precentor. Presbyterian, Toronto, Rev. A. L. Fraser, of Smiths Falls, Ont., writes us that one of tin elders of his church, Mr. MacTavish, ninety years of age, was precentor for Rev. Mr. Romanes, the first min- ister in Smith's Falls, and the father of George John Romanes, the great scientist and friend of Darwin. Mr, MacTa sh remembers George Joh | ship Romanes, who was born in Kingw ton, Ont, a fact that is not known by many admirers of this great jead- er of modern thought. KITCHENER ASA SPY! A Littlé-Known Incident In the Greal Soldier's Career, There @re spies and spies. Those of the rat-hole kind are despicable, but those who take their lives ip their hands in order to get through the enemy's lines In actual war-time often deserve, if they do not get, the V.C., for there is no more hazardous undertaking or one requiring more courage. The word "spy" has an ill sound, but the spy is essential to war- fare, or the aeroplane would be of little use, The most heroic of English kings, the One whose splendid eMgy is one of the glories of the ancient capital of England, Winchester, our ' great and noble 'Alfred, was himself a spy, unless the story of his entering the Danish camp as a minstrel is fiction and not fact. And our greatest living general, the finest orghhizeér in the world to-day undoublédly, has acted the difficult and dangerous part of a y also. Like Joshua and Caleb of Bible narrative, who won eternal honor by venturing into the enemy's country all alone, it is said that Lord Kit chener acted in the same way in one of the earlier Egyptian campaigns, where he was eventually to establish his reputation, It: is related how two scouts from the Egyptian lines came upon a ragged Arab sitting under a date tree, who begged from them, in walling tones of the pros fessional mendicant of the East, im- ploring them in the word so familiar to every tourist for "baksheesih,' The next day the same beggar was pointed out to one of 'the scouts as an English officer of great promise, and also of great histrionie powers, who was able to disguise himself so a8 to deceive "the very elect." In fact, It was none other than Herbert Kitchener, whose namé was just be- ginning 'to be mentioned as a com- ing man, and who later conquered that very Soudan whose natives he could copy to the life, Perhiips the most heroic feat of legitimate "spying" ever undertaken in the British army was the marvel- lous performance of "Lucknow Kav- anagh," as he is honorably called in army annals. He was the son' of the bandmaster of the 3rd Buffs, and when Sir Colin Campbell wanted an expert man to lead the way through an intricate country swarming with mutineers young Kavanagh volun- teered for the job. The story of his splendid feat which won him the Vietoria Cross is too long to tell here, but if is one of the shining déeds of bravery and de- votion which we are thankful to know are being repeated every day on the Continent by men equally ready to give their lives for a great cause. And none could be greater than the cause for which Kavanagh hourly risked his life, for it was nothing less than the relief of Luck- now, that great achievement which has been the theme of poem, paint- ing, and song, and to the success of which young Kavanagh the spy was a great contributor, The Kindly Queen Mother, A pretty incident seen the other day proved once again the hold Queen Alexandra has on the hearts of the people generally and showed some- thing of the reason. A very old gentleman who bad never seen the Queen Mother was at a dog show in London which was to be attended by Her Majesty. His anxiety to see her was great, and he seated him- self in hopes she would pass that way. He bad almost given up hope, and was meditating taking his de- parture, when two ladies quietly dressed in black passed by where he was sitting. One of them with a kindly smile picked up the old man's walking stick, which had fallen to the ground, and passed on. Some- one near by informed the delighted veteran that the gracious lady who had done him this service was none other than'. Queen Alexandra her- self. It was a proud moment for the old man, who left protesting that as long as he lived the walking stick should remain "his 'most treasured possession, Warships at Kennington Ovid! The announcement that the Oval has been transformed into a military depot recalls the warlike traditions of the neighborhood. Incredible as it seems, a foreign fleet once invest: ed Kennington, . This was in 1016, when the Dames under Canute sald up the Thames to attack Lone don. Unable to get past the fortifica+ tions at London Bridge, they deep- ened a "'ditch™ (really the River Tigris) which ran' south of the Thames from Rotherhithe, by way of the Elephant and e, Kenning ton, and Lambeth, Inte {he rive again at Chelsea. Canute brought his warship up this river as far as Kennington, and thence delivered hig attack on London. Until enclosed, less than a century ago, the stredm was still commonly known as "Can. ute's Trench."

The Copenhagen correspondent of f the London Times learns from Her: | lin, that under the new military agreement between" Germany and Austria, Emperor william undertak-' oe the leadership of the united arm- es. Rev. Dr. J. B. Silcox of Kansas City and formerly of Winnipeg has accepted a call to the First Con- gregational ehurch, London, Ont, succeeding Rev. H. 'D. Whitmore, who goes to Maxville, Glengarry county. Suggestions continue fo appear in the London press urging the mili tary authorities to arrange for a public welcome to the Canadian con- tingent before 'its departure for the front." Amongst the latest advo- cates is Lord Derby. The authorities of Honx Kong and of other British possessions in China have is%ved 'orders for the expulsion from British territory of Germa nsand Austrian subjeéts, ex- cept those of military age who will be detained.

Nurses Persecute Russian Sisters of Mercy, London, Oct. 29.--The Petrograd correspondent of the Standard writes: "The Russian Sisters of Mercy who have returned to Petrograd after hav- ing been tuken prisoners by the Ger mans, give dn account of the sav- agery displayed toward them by Ger man women. "One of the sisters said "After we had been -taken prison- ers, we were marched off under mili- tary escort to the nearest German medical station, and there detained three hours. Thence we were dis- patched to the nearest German town, where we stayed for ten days in" a hospital. We looked after the Russian and Gérman wounded, " 'German women did their best to tortard us, and oécasion us the great- est unpleasantness. We were hated not only by the women residents of the towns where we stayed, but also to a much greater extent by the Ger- man Sisters of Mercy. Their hatred went so far that they refused to work in the hospitals with us. " "The officials of the town did not know what to do with us, and sent an official inquiry to Berlin. "The re ply came to send us back to Russia, and this the authorities duly carried out. We do not yet knaw ii we shall be sent back to the front, but we all have a burning desire to continue to succor our wounded in the hdd of bat tle." "I'he Holy Synod has instructed the ecclesiastical authorities to propose to monks, bishops, friars," and other cler- gymen within their jurisdiction to take part in the war in the capacity of Brothers of Mercy, whose functions will be similar to those of the Sisters of Mercy. The synod has further re quested eminent heads of the church to act as commanders of the corps of Brothers of Mercy which will events ally be formed by those desiring to participate in this holy work, and who will place themselves at the disposal of the Russiao Red Cross for that pur- pose."
