Italy bas taken eight months to get into fighting trim, and has succeedéd in forcing the enemy to fight on their own territory. So much for our Al- lies. But what of us? Are we do- ing our best? Well, the case for Canada is soon stated. * They have found in the Mother « Country that their volunteer system is not likely to produce enough men to win the war. They are talking of "nations al service"--which is a euphemisth for "draft" or "conscription." « Yet their volunteer system has brought out just about four times as large & proportion of their population as have volunteered in Canada. Do you get that? Out of every: huns dred Britons in the United Kingdoms four times as many have volunteered. as have enlisted out of every hun dred in Canada.' And that is Jess than half the story.

The indemnity demanded of Ture key at the close of the Russo-Turk- ish war of 1877 was $725,000,000, but Russia agreed to accept terris tories for $500,000,000 of that sum. It seems incredible that indemnities Bearing a like relation to costs can be assessed at the close of the pre- gent struggle.

Barbarows Methods = Not Practical Before Medieval Times. ago Tribune . Tha use of torture in order. to elicit information from persons ac. cused of grime, barbarous as it is, was little practised before medieval times. Under Greek and Roman law torture was only allowed upon slaves, though in the latter days of the empire it was employed against free citizens if they had been ac- cused of treason to. the Emperor. It seems to have become part of the law in Europe about the thir. teenth century. From the four- teenth century downward torture was a part of the legal system of most European countries. The 1tal- ian municipalities used it to a very large extent. "In Gor y elaborate apparatus existed. for Ys infliction, in the dungeons of the feudal castles and In the town halls of the cities, it was used in the prisons of (her. many when the philanthropist How. ard visited them in 1770. In France it 'was part of the judicial till abol- ished by the revolution, and in Scot- land: it was used until the reign of Queen Anne. The use of torture seems never to bave been wholly sanctioned by the law of England. re pein GAVE HIM THE LIE. Donkey Breaks Silence and Spoils Minister's Sermon. Rey. Arthur.

There are many handsome little suits) of white linen, serge, sailcloth and even corded silk for small boys. Small, yet important detafls distinguish the new models, such as an increased fullness to the long blouse, a new, saucy turn to the cuffed trousers and, perhaps, an abbreviation in their length. The suit shown here consists of a blouse and side-closing trousers. The cuffs may. be omitted from the lower edge of the trousers if desired, but they are very cunning on chubby youngsters and usually well liked. The collar is cut in square outline, but, this can be changed easily to a round effect. Even though expensive material be used in developing tha suit, its cost cannot mount very high, since 2 yards of 36+ inch goods makes the model. There are so many sections to the pattern that unusual care is required in cutting it. Several parts are to be evenly laid on a foid of the goods-- namely, the waistband, collar, blouse front, back, tollar and shield. These can be arranged in the order named, working from left to right. Now on a lengthwise thread place the back, fly, pockets, belt, front of trou- sers and sleeve. If the trousers are to be made without cuffs at the lower elige find double "oo" perforation on front and back and follow these marks ings to cut off lower edges. The square collar ean have its outline changed to a round effect by cutting off lower part on small "o" perforations. A very servicable material for these little suits is khaki linen. - Trimmed in white, red, blue or brown braid, it is cool and comfortable looking, yet there is no sacrifice of smartness {f the sult is left entirely unadorned. 4 A belt of patent leather is used when white lmen, serge or silk is used to make the suit, but for the tub fabrics. self-belts are t as practical and are pleasing because of their uniformity of effect: Pictorial Review Boys Costume No. $201.
