By this I do not mean for one moment that the infantry man is takirg no part, nor do I for one moment overlook the splendid work he has and is doing, the gallant bayonet charges and the strenuous hours in the trenches, but the section that will to a great ex- tent decide thé campaign is the artil- lery, says a writer in'London Ideas. Looking back to the commence- ment of the war when the Belgian Army made that heroic stand at Liege, driving back superior forces time after time 'until the enemy brought up enormous Howitzers fir- ing sbells nearly 1% inches in dia- meter with which he ploughed his way through to within a few miles of Paris. These guns are one of the things that cannot be piaced in one end of a machine in the form of raw mater- ial and come out finished at the Other, but each requires a great deal of care- ful and accurate work, and in conse- quence the production is slow: A visit to one of the 'arge armament works Is extremely interesting, The raw material arrives in the form of pig-iron either from our own ironfields or from those of Sweden, and to convert i. into steel it has to be subjected to the heat of the sieel making furnace for a considerabie time. The usual process, which is known as the Siemens-Martin pro- cess, is conducted in a large rectan- gular furnace baving a dish-shaped bottom which is filled with pigs. None of these furnaces is heated with solid fuel as is the case of most other steel melting furnaces, but by gas supplied by large producers. The gas is admitted to the side of the furnace at the sae time as a current of air, causing a flame of intense heat to shoot across the fron. When the iron has been converted into steel it is withdrawn from' the rear of the furnace in its molten state into a large ladle mounted on a small truck. This ladle is moved along from furnace to furnace until it is full or contains sufficient 'metal for the work in hand when it is driven along fnto the casting shop and poured into the ingot mould. Passing into the forge everything Seems in a tumult, the large steam hammers noisily clattering away at the red-hot masses o: steel, the shrill whistle of the forema controlling the workmen, the steam hissing as it es- capes from the cylinders and tHe roaring of the furnaces from whieh the men withdraw the re-heated in- gots, It appears marvellous to the stranger to see the ease with which a twenty-ton casting is turned about by the men; it is swung under the ham- mer, turned over, given the requi number of blows, moved backwards and forwards without the hammer stopping its rapid movement, and merely at the command of the fore- 'Who Infuse into our work the latest, most practical thoughts of trained 'hands and minds.

Rhythm, Just as an Liish rugby team is ut- erly diffcrent in its temper from an <nglish, Welsh or Scottish rugby «eam, so is an Irish regiment utterly lifferent frora an English, Welsh or scottish regiment. do not say that ils temper is finer, writes James Douglas in The London News. I say it is different. A' Lord Roberts' fun- eral 1 stood on the Thames embank- ment beside an English war corre- spondent. As the soldiers went by in the rain we tried to identify the various regiments. One very smart regiment puzzled us. Suddenly we fixed our eyes on a great, strapping soldier with a roguish eye and a devil-may-care glint in it. His khaki cap was cocked rakishly over one eye- | brow. "Irish, of course," said the English war correspondent. "You can't mistake that fellow." "It was the Irish Guards. Even in the mud and rain they looked uproariously and outrageously Irish. And I re- membered how, not many months ago, the Irish Guards (now fighting in Flanders) cheered John Redmond and John Dillon, . In the rain-sodden ' twilight one evening I stood at the ccrner of a street in Cork and watched an Irish regiment swinging past on its way back from a long route march. Were they leg weary? Not a bit of it. They went up the murky hill to their bar- racks with a rhythmic dash that sent my heart into my mouth. I have thrilled to the rhythm of the Grena- dier Guards at the end of a route march, But the rhythm of this Irish regiment, though not finer, was dif- ferent. There is only one word for it--there was more devil in its rhythm. It reminded me of the rhythm of a rush down the field by a pack of Irish forwards. The corpor- ate soul of the regiment was in the rhythm, and the soul was Irish. The drums and flutes were playing a queer wild Irish tune, and at intervals each section barked like a pack of hounds. That fierce bark went down the regi- Ment from front to rear, bark after bark, like a series of volleys--the vo- cal attack, as a musician would say, being perfect. As I heard it, I knew that I was listening not to a mob, but to a regiment--an Irish regiment «and there were tears of pride in my eyes as the long pulsing line of sted] swept like a live thing around the corner up the dark hill.

Attorneys Were Fighters In the Days of Wager of Battle. In the days «han suits at common law in England were settled by wager of battle the attorney was known as champion. It wui be understood that this position was one or real impert- ance, where one party to a cause or one affected by it was either a woman or a child. It was customary even for men to empicy a champion to wage battle for them for precisely the Same reason that a litigant at pres- ent employs a lawyer -- because the ed in his profession. Under the Anglo-Saxons the liti- gant, if a male adult, came into court himself and pleaded bis own cause. The Christian kings in this period had abolished the .earlier wager of battle, whica later was restored by the conquering Normans. As women and minors could not come into court they were allowed to be represented by whomsoever they chose. The exact time when it may be said that the recognized lawyer came upon the scene in the English courts is open to considerable difference of opinion. That there were officers of the king's court -- William the Conqueror, who might be likened to attorneys, seems probable, but under Edward I. there is positive record of Sergeants-at-law. These officers of the court wera under oath to serve the king and his people, and received a small compensation from the court. In some of the ancient illuminated manuscript treatises on the laws of England there are pictures of the Sergeants standing beside the liti- gants and at the same time being a part of the court. The sergeants re- ceived the same kind of legal train- ing deemed necessary for a judge in those days; and the bench was filled with men who had formerly been ser- geants-at-law.. As time wore on it was found necessary to add counsel- ors-at-law to assist in keeping up with the incrcase of legal business, and from these to the modern attor- ney, as 'we know him, was only an- other phase in the development, The attorney even in this country is technically an officer of the court, although he does not act directly for 40 Drop 8 car wanting anytBing done in the carpen- tery line.
