Very truly yours, JAMES K. HACKETT. Letter To The Advertiser. New York, Oct. 18.~To the Editor of the Advertiser, London, Unt.: My Dear Sir,--| am in receipt of a clipping from your valuable paper of Uctober 10th, reading as per copy en closed. Regarding the | comment of .your critic concerning my performance, | have nothing to say. He was proba bly more than half right. However, as a man | resent it intensely, pactic larly because 'he is guilty of stating untruths regarding facts that do not concern my interpretation. 'But | most strongly protest against the idea conveyed to the (Canadian public that 1 had inspired in the"least Mi Wolie's questionably humorous com ment upon my first appearance in your city. I may add that I have not seen Mr, Wolf for months. 1 protest particularly because 1 am too great an admirer of Canadians and have too many thousands of warm person al friends throughout the dominion to be guilty for one moment of reflecting mn any way upon anything within your borders. Thergiore 1 would appreciate it very much if you wound print in ydur col- umbs niy leiler 4s I am now dictat- ing it. Ww I am a membér of the Canadian Club of New York and 1 have jusy sent to them a donation to their war fund which, at the present moment, | can ill-afiord. I am also a member o! the Canadian Camp Club, of which | had the distinction and honor of 'be ing one of the founders and directors, in connection with Ea Grey and Lord Minto, and the much-beloved Dr Drummond, who was 'my warm per- sonal friend. It is' unnecessary to mention other men, dear to the do- minion of Canada, with whom 1 have been 'associated, to disprove any im- plied slight by me on even the small est hamlet in Canada. I might say in 'conclusion that 1 think the most undignified and thor- oughly undeserved '"'discharge" of your writer--as we might say under present unfortunate war conditions-- went off "hali cocked' and "missed fire. I bave dictated this letter hastily. Had 1 had more would probably have said less. With every assurance of esteem, my dear sir, | ovemain most sincerely yours, JAMES K. HAUKEIT. ; P.8.,--1 am sending .a.eopy' of this letter to the Kingston Whig, with the request that they not only publish your eritic's comment, but my letter as well & mest time, 1 Offeasive Comment. From the Advertiser, London, Ont., Oct. 10th, 1914: Rennold, Wolf, one of the Pelegraph's 'raciest following a vow York writers, has the Hackett Enjoying Tour. "According to reports from ada, James K. Hackett's recent visit to Loudon, Ont., has its amusing side. Of course, the iden of playing London arouses the 'first laughter. My tlackett, who is now an heir, has lavished a fortune upon his produc- tion of Othello, and ris travelling in (ine 'style. He arrived in: Lopdon in a private car, attended by Chatles Emerson Cook and two servants. Af. ter the dress rehearsal he took the entire, company to a restaurant and banguéted 'them. "Phe idea of 'playing London is just about as funny as the idea of Mr. Hagkett playing Othéllo. The last ime we saw James K. he was ap- ering in a painfully, strong play called Samson, in Detroit. He was suppobed - to tbe one 'of these -- super- wen a ular siege-gun of a fol low-- and ix company with a num- ber of others we took ourselves by the hand and. hunted for a good pie- Lire" show after we heard about seven Eplloys. It may have been, this fair if 'provincial eity 'that convinced Mr. Hackett that he needed more dra- matic Sgt when he essaved Oth- ello. For the twenty-five parsbas who saw him in this city and the - well known suburb, St. Thomas, were con- vinced 'that he not only hacked it but murdered it. With the stories of atrocities filling the air he did well | to é=cape. ; | "And 80 James K. Hackett has | gone to see his clever friend, The | versatile and debonnair Remnold, and | has "had him write a sfap at the | Canadian tanks. Tt is a fair sam- ole of the ard any Broadway ac- tor has for this part of 'the country. They are quite readyito send us their worn-out plays and 8 find all is 'quite sereme wo Tomg as we 'fall for it." When the Canadian public shows a little diserimination they must, of jcourse,-be 'vaps' and the iden of playing their towns must be funny."

The apparent inacticn al ome points on the great army lines in the European eonflict, as reperted in the daily despatches, is apt to be confus- ing to the peaceful citizen, Hi: to the studefit of the art of warfare the reason for this is frequently clear, as! is explained by oo miliary expert in) the special way ix:ue of the Se! g'i1- ie' American. It may happen that when fighting extends along a Trent of many niles, some troops way be mere succersful than others, and thus gain ground much in advance of the general line. This, if permitted to. proceed euy great Gistance, would have the .en- dency to leive gups in the live, or weak spots on the Hanks of 'the suc- cessful troops which would prove most dangerous to the gencral line, as 'well as to the advanced troops themselves, if coafrontéd hy a ten- thermore, the slecess of . the paign does not depend cn isolnted advantages of ijodividual units (di- viglan, ariiy corps, or fold armies) supporiing ench other in the for- ward movement, ail under the gen- eral supervision of the confmander In- chief Therefore, 't may be necessary to. hold back the more ad vanced portion of the ling until the other units are abld to come up to it. To enable them to hold what they have won 'the advenced troops will entrench. ; The line or lines of trenches are not uweceesarily continuous T usually form irregular groups of en- trenchments distributed along front of the position, ihe trenches facing the enemy's the avenues of approach It will be well to note at +his point that this advaneed part of the line, while still a factor in the general of- fensive movement, has now assumed a defensive attitude 'seeking a fav- ordble decision," wwhich means that it is simply waiting for the opportun- ity to resume the offenrive, and that is the only form of defence that can sequre positive results lines or Uses Cats As Hounds. T. G. Nimmo, of Missouri, prob ably has the strangest "pack of hounds" in the world iL consists of two huge domestic eats, which he bas 'been training for more than three 'years until they teail, point and retrieve small game as well as any dogs ever 'seen in his distriet. The cats are named Tom and Jerry, and are used principally in hunting rabbits, tree squirrels and quail, though they have tracked and belped kill opossums and raecoons, both of which are plentiful in that part of the south. According to their owner, who be- gan training the eats when they were kittens, on sight of a rabbit, squirrel or quail, they assume rigid positions, like, that of a pointer, ex- cept that they move thelr tails slight ly, and wait for him to come up and shoot the game 'they have found. They 'have never since he finished their training, rushed forward to kf the game themselves, or to attempt to stalk it. When the shot is fired they retrieve the falen animal or bird, and if it is not quite dead give it a guietus by biting it in the neck. The especial value of these cats, Mr. Nimmo says, is in their abil- ity to trail, capture, and kill wound- ed squirrels 'which flee to the tree tops after being shot.--Exchange. FRENCH STILL BAR WAY.

An amusing incident {= told by Dr. Heury Coward 'of his early days in Sheffield concerning a quattet which he organized in a warehouse. Anx- fous to make money, he approached a showmar who was visifing the place 'and suggested to him that a party 'of singers would be a decided altraetion to his show "Rin ye sing?" asked the show- man. "Yes, 'gir, very well," "Have ye dress sits ? Theni's necessary.' "Yes, sir," "How mueh will it cost for su¢h' an engagement?"

General Smith-Dorrien, who re- celved unstinted praise from Rir John French for his handling of the British 'troops during the retreat of the allies, played a prominent part in the défente of Belfast during the South African war The down was strongly held by his force of 1,750 men, 'but it was somewhat small to hold a denfensive perimeter of fif- teen wiles. Each of the little forts was Situated some distance from its nejghbor, but the Boers did not lose the opportunity to profit from this circumstance. They 'mude a night attack upon Helvetia 'and succeeded in capturing and carrying away the Gin. gun upon which the fort de- pended for its. defence. Flushed with their success they attempted to repeat the feat 'at another point which was .also protecied. But when the burghers swarmed the little fort, to their chagrin there was no howit- zer to be seen, w Because Smith-Dorrien, knowing that the howitzer was useless for night op- erations, had the gun trundled into Belfast every evening!

The «entrance of Turkey into the Furypean conflict 'has a very deep sig- nificance. ~ Twenty-four eputuries 'ago the downfall of the Turkish power was predicted, and its overthrow is used as a sign of the end of the world. I'his statement made in the sermon Evangelist J. C. Stevens, church, Syracuse, N.Y., preached to pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist his congregation on Sunday. "Turkey," said Mr. Stevens, is brotight 'to our view in the prophecy the eleventh chapter of Daniel the title 'King of the North. was " under, This chapter is a great chain of pro- | phecy, reaching, link after link, from Daniel's time down throiigh the reigns of Persia, Greece and Rome fo the very endl of time. Greece is the bur- den of the prophecy in the. sécond verse, and its fourfold divigion after the 'career of Alexamder the Great is foretold. * "According to this prophecy, the Turk is to be driven out of ¥urape ind will euentually make his capital at Jerusalem.

German military officers are now very closely assoctated with this movement, and while there is no 'pos- sibility of duplicating the position at Constantinople in Pekin and Canton, it is not demied that developments are possible.
