Northern France, June 21.--The Canadian Engineers, have been giv- en a full measure of praise for good work, A British soldier tells me a re- markable story, For several weeks, in fact ever since our last advance on the Festubert front, complaints have been made by advanced dressing sta- tions that they were being fired upon by our own guns behind the British lines. The headquarters staff in- vestigated and their reports 'said that it was impossible. But the shells came, making life very uncom- fortable for §he men in our reserve trenches and for the engineering parties at work each night. The Canadian - Engineers stood it for three nights, distinctly saw flashes of «gung about 800 yards to the rear, and reported to headquarters, They obtained the same answer and then decided to go stalking' for it them- selves. They noticed the flashes came from several plates, sometimes 200 yards apart, and from fragments of shells picked up, stil) warm, they decided that it was anti-aeroplane { guns firing. "Watch out on these byroads for a motor car," a Canadian captain told them, and a few nights ago they stumbled right into the car busy fir- ing away at the enemy over the Brit- ish trenches. JKeeping concealed, they followed the car until it arrived at a clump of trees and disappeared suddenly. When daylight came searched the woods, but could find no wheel tracks. After a long search they found where the bush had been moved, and soon discovered a masked entrance to what had onee been a German officer's dugout un- der ruined farm buildings. In it was an armored motor car with an They were taken prisoners, and in the search of the place enough pro- visions and gasoline for several months was unearthed. British uni- forms were found buried in one place. By being dressed in these, the Ger- mans h isled the few soldiers who had anced to see the car on its midnight tours. mn 08S : . . Petrograd, June 22.--Moscow suf- féred damage to the amount of $20, 000,000 during the recent anti-Ger- man demonstration, in which nearly "600 stores and factories and more than 200 private lodgings were to~ tally w The infu mobs turned the city into wild disorder, according to eye-witnesses. From music stores, pianos and other musical instru- ments were hurled into the streets until the pfles of wreckage made progress through these thoroughfar- es im le. The rioters, heated with lquor which the¥ found in the demolished wine stores, became reckless in their pillaging, setting fire to and destroying many sto.es and apartments, the owners of wuich were Russians. Of the total num- ber of buildings destroyed only 113 belonged to Austro-German subjec.s. The demonstrations, beginniag early on June 9th, lasted more than +34 hours. Buildings burned and crumbled to ashes, and the fire by': gade, although active throughout the disturbances, found it impossible to cope with the flames; so extensive were the co tions, ' The neil at a meeting held on June 10th took measures tu quell the disorders ond prevent a repetition of the rioting.

A Political Organization May Be Launched After the War. New York, June 22.--The dispo- sition of Palestine after the war and its organization as a Jewish State, with ancient Jerusalem as the capi- tal, is an ambition which will be seri- ously considered at a great confer- ence of Jewish organizations of the United States which will open: in Boston next Friday and continue for a week. Palestine, it is estimated, can ac- commodate a population of six mil- lion. With the establishment of new political control of the Holy Land, it is proposed that Jews shall migrate there from Russia, Germany, Austria and other European States. The investment of foreign capital has resulted in a marked improve- ment in the physical features of Pal- estine. Until a few years ago the country was a treeless region, with much desert land. The ground has been rendered productive, with soil formerly considered barren, yielding great wheat crops. MOTOR FARM TRAOTOR Claims Machine Will Reduce Tilling . Of Soll Third. Detroit, June 22.---After more than thirty years of toil, Henry Ford has announced that he had perfected sa motor tractor that will give the high cost of living its greatest blow yet. ' "A tractor has been my idea for many years," said Mr. Ford, "I HaVe worked at it constantly. ready and it means much." The inventor claims the new farm implement. will reduce the tilling of the soil at least a third of the pres- farms and will mean a boom in lake shipping.

Fined For Singing At Wife, New York, June 22.--Because he attempted to drown his wife's com- plaint against alleged ill treatment by raising his voice in song, George F. Plant, contractor, living in Woods haven, L. 1., was fined $10 by Mag- istrate Fitch, in the Jamaica police court. Mrs, Plant sald that her hus- band had used abusive language to her and then sang in order to drown her replies. He denied this, but said that he sank to keep' his neighbors from hearing the curtain lectures given by his wife, "WELL, CAN YOU BEAT THAT?" the, Camp Feels by Herbert Co St. Omer, France, Tone 1.--A big eorpora] stood at the turn in the main street of St. Omer. His duty was to wave a baton at the drivers of the ambulances and show them where to take their loads. We began to make éenversation. Eventually, having discovered there Were some questions he would not answer, some, one asked him if the English soldiers sang at their camps at night. 'Not very mueh," said he. now." "Not even 'Tipperary'?" No, they didn't even sing "Tipper- ary" He didn't know just what they did sing. He shuffled about in embarrassed fashion when the query was pressed, and we let it drop. Later that night it was answered for us. Our car stopped on a shoulder of a high hill, dn the valley be- neath a white patch told of the pres- ence of British tents. The sound of singing came to use on the chill breeze, but for a time we could not distinguish the air. Then thé wind died down. The chorus rose from below, clear and strong. "Onward, Christian Soldiers--" That unimportant little incident made clear to me the change in the menta] attitude of the British sol- diers as compared with thosé I had Seen in the first weeks of the war. He is much more quiet to-day, the Britisher, He doesn't smile so much, He is very grave and very earnest, and very determined. He knows the maghitude of the job that is ahead of him, and he proposes io do that job and he knows he will pay the price. War isn't a summer pic- nic for him now. It is the bitterest, grimmest, most sorrowful thing in the world. Bn by Rholy that he prays--many of m: 'erhaps he doesn't know how. But away down inside him he feelg the need of ac- knowledging his reliance upon a Higher Power. _'He can sing with less embarrassment than he can take to his knees. Then, too, "Onward, Christian Soldiers" is a fighting man's song. It the of the man who belleves in his 4 On the Lord's Service, Somehow, one doesn't feel very far away from the Roundheads when one is in a British camp. No doubt Cromwell's men were not as godly 4s they have been painted. Per. haps they sang psalmg in the lack of more tuneful aire. These British fighting men are not saints, But they have that same tight-lipped alr of being on the Lord's service that the oM crop-ears may have worn. The men who made up Eng- land's professional army may have enlisted because of the promise of "sport," or because 'the squire had determined to cut down his stable, or because it was hard serabbling in Whitechapel. That army in good part died at Mons and on the Marne "Not of Former Songs With Some of the British at Front.

The French feel this same need for divine aid. Not in forty years have there been 80 few people to go | to church in France--and not in forty years have the churches been so full. Every flay In Paris--I might almost say upon every street ---Oone passes little girls dressed in their confirmation robes of filmy white. "The French have been call- ed an unreligious people. " There are 20,000 priests fighting in the French ranks. Fighting, you un- derstand. Carrying rifleg and us- ing them. Digging trenches. Pray- ing between times. The .polluge-- "the hairy omes"--the soldiers of whom France is most proud--wel- come their presence. "Do they pray with you?" I once asked a prigst who had but just re- turned from the front. He wore the brown robe of one of the orders. Under it was hig uniform. "No," sald he, somewhat sadly. "But they desire us to pray for them. And we close thelr eyes" A Pleasant Spirit of Hate. There fs. another aspect of the British spirit as shown at the front. Being a soad Behl men, the Brit. . on probebly kills his enemy in a pleasant spirit of hate. But he doesn't call him names.

I have asked. ' answer 'was very apt to be couched in these terms: "We did not believe it at first. We thought there must be some mis- late. We did not think they would 0 it." If England has not yet awakened to what this conflict means, the man near the trenches has. To the jast man he believes that the fate of the British Empire swings with this war, He believes, too, that it will be a longer war than his people at home lize, it I may judge by the ex- ons that reached me. { hard for him to u thy of those safe island.
