' The Way the Soldiers Put In the Day At Drill, Meals and Recreation Grow Healthy At Their Duties. Six o'clock Is an early hour for ci- tizens to get up these cold mornings but the overseas volunteers who are in the city seem to be growing heal thy by doing so. Every morning Fevellle is sounded at six o'clock and in a half an hour they are ready to parade to the cricket field or their parade grounds for their early drill, AL half past seven breakfast is ready and needless to say this hour never comes too soon. Tea or poffee, por- ridge and milk, meat and bread ahd butter makes a suitable breakfast and by eight-thirty the men are ready for their morning work. Thig is the hour for the first rifle practice at the ranges at Barriefield, and the com- pany at the first practice must be at the ranges at this time. This means that the three mile march to the ran- ges must be started very soon after breakfast. Dinner is servad at twelve-thirty, the men having come from their par- ade grounds a half Wour before. The afternoon parade begins at two o'- clock 'and ends at five. Supper is on at five-thirty and after supper the men unless on guard duty are free for the evening until tén.. Any man that is not in at ten o'clock is put in the lock-up or the "click" as the men term it, if they do not have a pask. The drilling on the cricket field and on the Artillery park is watched with interest by a large number of citizens. The men drfll in their heavy great-coais and between times: kick a footboll around to keep warm. The men take their work serious- ly and people who are in their coufi- dence never or seldom hear a "kick" The "colonel" is popular with every one of his men, as he has the knack of showing a personal interest in ev- ery one without losing his dignity.

They also stated that the big new dredge was wrecked, and that séveral sailing vessels had sunk in the harbor, 3 The reply of the department of railways and canals ig that these men went from Halifax to Port Nél- son under an -agreement to work for a year, in consideration of which they were to get free trans- portation to Port Nelson and back. These men broke their agreement, abd the cost of their transportation was consequently deducted from their wages. The men also complained that their families at Halifax, who had heen given power of attorney to draw their salaries above the amount spent at the stores at Port Nelson, had in some cases been unable to get any money. The department re- plies that in such eases there was no balance to pay to the families, As for the dredge, it is not wreck- ed, but is at work, and the sailing vessels were old ships bought in England, loaded with coal, unload- ed at Port Nelsog, and then purpose ly sunk to form a bulkhead for the government piers. The yearly agreement with the men was to ensure a sufficient num- ber of men all the time, to expedite the work as far. as possible. ---- Lerrons RR 2 =» Many | FOOLING THE GERMANS.

An interesting story was told by Rev. John Marshall at one of the series of special services being con- ducted by Rev. Cr8. Applegath at Is- lington Methodist church last Sun- day. Rev. John Marshall ig the mission- ary at Jack River, the farthest north charge in the Anglican ¢hurch in Lanada, located in the Hudson Bay territory. One evening while taking a short walk, Mr. Marshall was stopped by the chief of one of the neighboring Indian tribes and asked if it was true that the motherland was fight- ing with Germany. On being as- sured that such was the case, the chief walked away, apparently in a deeply thoughtful mood. Next morning, before his usud! rising hour, Mr, Marshall was awak- 'ned by the sound of numerous uorses' hoofs approaching the street on which he lived. Such an unusual occurrence aroused Mr. Marshall's curlosity, who as soon as possible rushed out, to the street, where he ame face to face with the sheriff f Ja®k River, who was on a simi- lar errand. Looking up the street they saw a whole tribe approaching under the leadership of the Indian chief to whom Mr. Marshall had spoken the evening before. The Indians were mounted and supplied with everything to carry on modern warfare. As the Indians drew near- ar Mr: Marshall and the sheriff stop- ped the chief to find out the reasons for the mobilization. As the event infolded it was apparent that the fndians were. intent upon taking vengeance upon a (German settle- ment situated only a few miles from Jack River. Mr. Marshall and the sheriff had their hands full dissuad- ing the chief from earrying on war- like operations against the jer- mans. --------t As to Fortresses. Professor M. A. Gerothwohl dis- cusses in the current Fortniglitly Re- view a question pointedly raised by the course of this war-- "Are Fort- resses Valueless?" His opinion is that it is simply a question of wheth- er the fortress is equipped with as heavy guns as the besiegers At liege the Germans brought up 11 and 12-inch Krupp howitzers, while at Namur 16 1.2 inch howitzers were used. When the attacking force cau plant a gun out of range of the artillery mounted in a fort, they can pound it to pieces at leasure. Even Antwerp had no gun heavier than "an oldish S8-inch." with which to meet these 16 1-2 inch, and, inevit- ably, it succumbed. Verdun, how- ever, he points, out, tells a difficult story, Verdun. possesses heavy Freuch ordnance of the maval 12.2- inch pattern," which is quite suffi- cient to disturb the fire of the heavi- est German siege-gun. I wag bom- barded, he tells us, for two weeks by the Krupp guns with the crgwn prince's army; and yet it was never shaken. "Phe deduction he draws is that the strength of a fortress is not fo.much a question of whether it be of conerete or earth-work, but whether it has mounted on its ram- parts heavy enough artillery to reach the howitzers of the enemy. ---------- ' J Poincare's Story President Poinéare of France tells jan amusing story. of au oll pemsant { Who was very superstitious and | "faddy." = A neighbor who disayp- braved of hix little fads said to him | one day, "That potato yon gave me ito carry in my pocket as a cure for rheumatism has had a wonderful effect.
