TREATED THE SAME Britain Too God To the German §ub- marine Murderers. London, May 4.-- Ambassador Page informed the foreign office yes- terday that the treatment of the ¥rews of captured German submar- ines in England and of the British officers upon whom retaliatory meas- ures were visited by Germany was virtually the same, with the excep- tion that some of the British pris- oners were 'being held in solitary confinement except at meals. This is sald to be due toa misunder. standing of the treatment by the British of the German submarine crews. These facts were brought out in an investigation through the agency of the American Government, un- der an agreement between Great Bri- tain and Germany. When Scot Meets Scot.

Ashes Over Father's Grave A peculiar English will is that of Gillibrand, of Eller- wood, Bowness-on-Windermere, who left estate of the value of $125,206. It was his earnest wish that his remains should be cremated and the ashes afterwards removed to Stand- ish Churchyard, and there scattered over his father's grave, after the earth had been removed therefrom to a depth of about 1 foot, the earth and stone to be replaced after the ashes had been so spread. ------ T0 TAKE THE PLACE, AS 'MEDI gentleman, frequently. | THE SOLDIERS GET HOME-SICK. as ALL NATIVES REVERENCE ROY AL EXECUTIVE IN ALL LAND revalent Among Prisoners of War in Foreign Countries. Home-sickness, or nostalgia, the doctors term it, has long been recognized as a military disease, which is especially liable to attack recruits and. even seasoned soldiers, if "they served for long periods in| foreign climes. A French sclentist | has published a book on the malady He says: "The symptoms bf 'home- sickness are great mental dejection, loss of appetite, indifference to what is going on around, and irregular action of the digestive organs." The bad effects of home-sickness sin an army were first noticed among Swiss soldiers some time ago. The! men were forbidden to sing or listen to their native melodies for fear of rousing in them an overpowering longing for their mountain homes. A doctor writing at that period cited many instances of the serious results of sentimental music on soldiers campaigning far from their own shores, An English physician recently stated that home-sickness is a pre- valent disease amongst prisoners of Semi-Annaul Ceremonies -- Official Classes Makes Oath Of Allegiance Twice Each Year--Resembles Cor- "onation Festivities.

Dr. Gordon, of the Old South Church, Boston, probably has as large a circle of admirers as any mi- | nister in that city. He always prea- | ches to large congregations, who are attracted not only by his personality but by his intellectual and sometimes humorous sermons. Last Sunday he made sanctimon- ious, psalm-singing, professed Christ- ians who have no real religion in their make-up a target for his wit. A little boy who heard him remark- ed after he returned liome: "Mother, I shouldn't have thought Dr. Gordon, would have spoken that way about Christians this morning. There might have been some of them in Church!" the Tory Press, St. Catharines Standard do not LET THEM HAVE IT (Hamilfon Times.)

Very few gains were made to his following. i The Manitoba elections followed soon after, with a like slogan from the -Opposition headed by the Hon. T. W. Norris. The result was the reduction of the large legislative ma- | Jority of Sir Rodmond Roblin almost to the vanishing point, and the plac- | ing of his administration in a minor- | ity of the popular vote.
