STARTS CAMPAIGN TO 100,000 BANDAGES ! 1 Pupils of the Schools Will Take Part In the Work----Collection | Will Be Made On Empire Day. | A campaign on behalf of the Red! Cross Society to secure ' 100,000, bandages for the soldiers at the front is sow on. At the meeting of the Board of Education held on Thursday night the Society asked that the pupils of | the Collegiate Institute amd Public Schools be asked to take part in the campaign in the giving of small! sums of money or material, the sug-| gestion being made that the collect- ion be made on Empire day. i The matter was referred to the| Management Committee, and as a| result it was decided to allow the pupils to take part in the campaign. | In addition to bandages there will be accepted clean linen, sheets, pil- Jow ceses and towels. The city drug stores are taking part, and have offered to sell dress- ings at 5 cemts each and if there are any profits to turn the same over to the Red Cross Society. While the pupils of the schools have been asked to take part in this campaign it is pointed out that it is| not confined to them alone, and a cordial invitation is extended to ev- ery citizen to lend a hand. It is for a noble cause and the appeal should be met with a ready response. It is proposed to have boxes plac- ed in the drug stores where contri- butions can be received to help on the campaign. ROGERS IN CONDEMNATION Free Press Scathingly Reviews Re cord of Roblin Govermment. Winnipeg, May 14. -- The Free Press reviews the record of the Rob- lin Government in scathing terms, declaring that it leaves office with-| out a shred of dignity or particle of | honor. Including Mr. Rogers in its condemnation, it says: "Nemesis has at last overtaken them---they are suffering and will suffer a punishment that will in some measure fit the case; loss of office, of the spotlight on the stage, of the plaudits of the crowd; of all the sat- isfactions which the possession of power yield to men of a certain type of mind. But one man--and he the most guilty of all---escapea, thus far. The Roblin Government was the perfect flower of Mr. Rogers' theory of politics. He was the mind, the intelligence of the Roblin Gov- ernment. Sir Rodmond was the "barker" who cried the wares and sought to commend them to popular favor, In its corruption, its cyni- cism, its incompetent business meth- ods, its deplorable election standards its wastefulness and extravagance, it betrayed the source of its inspiration. Mr. Rogers, with a sagacity which does him eredit left the laboring ship four years ago for newer quarters, and has thus--for the moment---es- caped shipwreck. In the wider field he is applying the tactics and methods which have been so disas- trous to this Province; and even | more so to the Manitoba Conserva- tive party, which has for the time being ceased to exist. Given time and space, he will run, at Ottawa, the same course and achieve the same results, Justice will not be done, nor the good name of Manito- ba vindicated, until he follows Sir Rodmond into defeat and obscurity. The duty to see that this is done rests upon the people of Manitoba and will be met by them at the first op- portunity." "Chamois skins" at Gibson's. R. H.

Native Press Regards the Germans As Inhuman, { Catcutta, May 14.-- The cold-| blooded brutality of 'the Lusitania] affair has sent a shiver of horror through India. For some time the natives had difficulty in grasping the | fact that the ship was full of h:lpless| non-combatants and refused to be- lieve that human beings could be rs- sponsible for such ruthless murder native organ, the Allahabad, says: "And this is Germany, the leader of culture and civilization. Human-| ity can do very wel without this cul- ture and civilization which _only breed on a lapge scale the callous murderers who have thrust them- selves upon the world's attention during the last nine months, May God soon rid the world of that Prus-| slanism, which cruelty staggers hu-| manity." { The native Bengal organ, Amrita/ Bazar, says: | "These cold-bloded barbarities, practiced by ruthless Germans, are indeed staggering, especially to the Indian mind. Chronicles of even the most sanguinary wars in this land contain no record of such unmitigat- ed cruelty to combatant and non- combatant." | The Pioneer, representing English | opinion, says: i "However one looks at it, it Is im-| possible to regard the sinking of the | Lusitania as a legitimate act of war. | It was sheer murder, and women and child murder at that. Both by word and deed, the Germans have pro-| claimed to the world that it is net| inconsistent with German honor to] wage war on women and children." | The Statesman says: | "All that can be done is to realize | that we are at war with an enemy a void of conscience as the gorilla, | and must shape our measures ac-| cordingly, carefully eschewing any ap-| plying redoubled energy to crushing this eruption of barbarism in Eur-| ope." | | | | ONTARIO PUBLIC OPINION Will Be Made Stronger by Manitoba's Action. (8pecial to the Whig.) Toronto, May 14.--Ome_ of the chief points of interest for Ontario passa: br the sudden political charge in Manitoba where the Con servative Government suddenly re-| signed and the Liberals have:.com? into power in the prominence of ti» Public Accounts Committee in the Manitoba crisis. The investigation into the Government House expendi- tures was first carried on in the Pnb- lic Accounts Committee but the same sort of blocking tactics wer em- ployed there which have been uscd with such effect by Messrs. MoGarry and Ferguson in the Ontarfe Com- wittee for several years. The dif- ference between Ontario and Mani- toba is that here those who have tried to shut off imvestigation, by means of the partisan majority or the Public Acounts Committee, have succeeded whereas in Manitoba a higher power, represented by .h: Lieutenant-Governor, evidently in- tervened and forced the appointment of .a Royal Commission. It is s'g- nificant to mote that in both the m portant investigations in Ontario's Public Accounts Committee in recen. years, that is, the Proudfoot charg- es and the Bowman charges in the Snider case, both against the Fro- vincial Secretary, the Opposit.on have tried to get axactly what uas forced 'the Government in Mahitola to resign--a Royal Commission. It is safe to assume that with this Manitoba example, public opinion in Ontario will be stronger than ever in condemnation of such blocking tac: tics as are used by Messrs MecGar y and Fergusom and it is hoped that after this there willbe freer scope for genuine investigation in Ontaric politics.

Germans Believe It Will Increase Their Prestige. London, May 14.--An editorial in the Daily News Says: "Editorial comment in the Ger man press on the sinking of the Lusi- tania has. been singularly scant. Tn- authorized comment, however, has been plentiful and this is the sort of thing which appears, for instance, in the Berlin Lokal Anzieger from the pen of Erich von Salymann: * "The Lusitania is no more. Only those who have travelled by sea can appreciate the extraordinary impres- sion which this news will make call over the world. It will 'ome clear to other nations that England's world's dominion is gone forever; The mistress of the seas, whe oppressed small nations with most brutal ruths lessness and to whom modern North America kow tows, has received a well aimed smack in the face, a veri- table knockout in the boxing ring.

In some garrison towns small hotels and boarding-houses are take ing every advantage of the over crowding which creates such a de- mand for sleeping accommodation. Quite fourth-rate hotels are charg- ing £3 3s. and £3 10s. a week for single Yedrooms, simply because they can get it. The worst type of soldier shark, however, are the keepers and decoys of the night clubs which have sprung up in such large numbers in London and some of the provincial towns. Many an officer or private who has or three days' leave has been Iun- veigled nto ome sf 'hese clubs and gone back not only fleeced of every coin he possessed but in fear of fur- ther blackmail, A favorite trick is for one of the women who frequent these night clubs, after scraping up an acquaint- ance with a soldier visitor, to ask him to take care of her purse and articles of jewellry while she dances, The soldier in nine cases out of tem, acquiesces, and is amazed a short time afterwards, when he is sudden- ly accused by the woman herself of stealing her puree and jewellry. It is little use him telling the story of taking care of them, for it is one which is promptly ridicdled, and the affair generally ends ip the soldier, particularly if he is an officer, pay- ing so much hush-money to avoid any further trouble or scandal. Armies Defeated By Weather. The weather hes often served Bri- tain well in times of war. We all knéw how the weather finished the destruction of the Armada, and serv- ed us when the French invaded Ire- land, and there have been other times when a foe, anxious to raid Britain's shores, found his work rendered dif- ficult by bad weather. A heavy thun- derstorm at Crecy slackened the bow strings of the Genoese archers of the French, whereas the English kept their bows cased, and suffered nothing; and, to come to modern times, the Devons made their famous charge at Waggon Hill, Ladysmith, with a thunderstorm at their back, It is only fitting that fogs should have aided us at times. It was a heavy mist that allowed Marlborough to get his army across the Scheldt, al- though the enemy had gathered to dispute the passage. Anson was once well served by a fog, which enabled him to slip through a French fleet unobserved. Snow and frost have always hindered ruther than helped, though the terribls winter in the Cri- mean War showed that we could rise superior even to such handicaps; and Col. Kelly's march across the snow- covered mountains to the relief of Chitral showed the same.

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps and prepared sham- poos contain too much alkali. this dries the scaip, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful, Just plain mulsified cocodnut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this cant pos- sibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abun- dance of rich, ereamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor- oughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of. dust, dirt, dandruff and exces- sive oll. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and #t leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy 10 manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oll at most any drug sters, It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
