Here in France the Catholic atmosphere is over -evérything---picture postcards ncluded. Armies are represented as protected by Jeanne d'Arc or the Sacred Heart of Yesus. The skies of these pictures are fuil of angels and saints, Soldiers are depicted--wear ing protective badges. The Cathed- ral of Rheims, in total ruins, shows Christ standing at the main porch and erying. "What have the demons done to My house?" On the other side, the secular pictures are such as the British are largely strangers to. The gargoyles of the rained cathed- ralssare: made to lend themselves to representations of the Kaiser and his minions in a manner that may eas; be imagined. It is at pight, however, that the difference is most clearly séen. At sunset the tramcars cease running and the shops are closed. Cafes and hotels alike close their doors. There is no open drinking. The streets are plunged into a profound darkness. Every blind is drawn. No shaft of light must illuminate the pavement Of laugh- ter there is none.

The war has entered, like iron, into the soul of this people In company with. Captain Chaplain Hughes I made a tour of the city within and without the walls after dark. It was a weird experience. In piaces we would not see a step be- fore us. Passing into the old city we traversed the great square, skirted the buildings of the Hotel de Ville, and reached the Basilica. Not a per- son was abroad. The city within the walls lay around us as if smitten with the plague. Then, mounting a stone stairway, we gained the wall, and lay at our feet. Little could we see of it. * The lights near Ke at 80e.. per the harbor alone gave us any indica- tion of our locality. Then, as we remained contemplating the weird gpettacle, there flashed out across the sea some powerful seatrchlights, While the men remained indoors and | the city was plunged in darkness the Navy kept its unceasing vigil. Hard by the Chateau, as we des. cended, we beheld the silhouettes of two figures outlined against the gky. A thoment later there rang out on the night air the full pure tenor volce of .a Scotsman singing 'Annie Laurie'. We could not see the face of the singer, nor did he reply to our salutation, but he was. without doubt one of the many professional singers and musicians who have answered the call of their country. One of the chief bass singer§-of Beechman's Opera is here, while any day Mr. Kennerley Rumford may be seen driving his Red Cross motor car, I have had pointed out to me a wedl- thy titled man Who is sérving as a , private in the army, The son of one of -the best-known noblemen in Eng- land is also here, an ordinary sol- dier. He did not trouble about a commission. Has England ever known anything like this before? And afterwards, can it ever be the same country again? I turned into a nymber. of the churches always to discover that they were crowded to the doors whenever a service was announced. At ten o'clock on a Thursday morning one big ehurch was filled. At eight o'clock on the same night it was pack- ed, 1 looked in at various churches T-during the daytime and never failed to find scores and sometimes hun-|- || dreds of peoplé kneeling down to pray. There is no priest visible nor {| is any required. The people come in from market-place and shop for a few moments to pray. They then re- sume their occupations. Before the | war I am told the churches were in- differently attended---people did not care about religion. All is now changed. A new spirit has come to France. The nation has recovered its dying soul. And somehow 1 cad- THE DAILY he kitten "Knaws thi fs a parable of nothing life. THIS SPY FAILED. I. T. Tribitch-Lincoln is Well Known in Canada. The mass cf fiction that has ap- peared during the last ten months with the "German spy" as its motif has nothing to compare 'With the re- velations of Ignatius Timotheus Tri- bitch-Lincoln, once Jewish amission- ary in Montreal, later British M.P., later still a German spy in England, apd now a fugitive in the United States, Tribitch----that 1s" the name by which he was kibwn' in Mont- real---has been writing his "confes- sions" for the New York World, and they reflect small credit on the author. : No less. a plot than to lure the British fldet into the North Sea un- der circumstances that would make it an easy mark for the Germans, was Tribiteh's scheme. It failed bitterly, as the Admiralty was forearmed, and fully aware of the - man's perfidy. However, it makes interesting read- ing. Many people in Montreal still re- member Tribiteh, and it is known that he visited the Canadian city re- cently, since his activities in £ngland forced him to flee to the United States. He came to Montreal in 1901 there. jn 1902 he was appointed a Jewish 'missionary in Montreal, but within a few weeks of his appoint= ment be broke away and joined an- other church, being ordiined deacon on Christmas, 1902, In 1903 ha re: turned to England. After<the outbreak of war Tribiteh found life in England "intolerable." He was insulted in his club. So he decided to revenge himself on the country of his adoption. As he writes: ling. It was certainly original. It secrets and to betray them to the Cen- tral Powers, and having achieved that, to quit England forever, if still alive." In pursuance of this laudable scheme, Tribitch offered his services Edward Grey, and to Mr. Churchill, They had nothing to give the spy. So he tried to get into the Counter Espionage Department at the War Office. "Now, my plan was nothing less than to lure part of the British fleet into a certain quarter of the North Sea on a certain day, and to have the German fleet within. easy steaming distance. In order to procure this, I proposed just the reverse to Captain and laid before him a care- fully prepared scheme, the ostensible purpose of which was to destroy part of the German navy." Tribitch was told that the plan was not feasible as it was not the policy of the Admiralty to reveal to him the whereabouts of the British fleet. So he left England for Rotterdam to visit the headquarters of the German espionage for England, at the Qer- man Consulate in the Dutch city. With the object of having something in his possession that would give him the entree with the British War Of- fice, he played the double traitor with the German cpnsul in Rotterdam, and secured 'the absolute and unques- tionable power and means to hunt down most, if not all, the German spies in England--had I wished to do s0." On January 2, Tribitch returned triumphantly to London. He hur- ried to Whitehall to offer his inform- ation unconditionally to the Acting Chief of the Secret Service, whom he excitement" on receiving codes, a list of spies, some addragéses to which telegrams and letters were being sent bwaples; ASCIo8UTEs OF How they were being financed and through what channels, and "a document which would show what the Gérmans do and do not know of the British Army." The Secret Service officer promised to teli Lord Kitchener of what Tribitech had done, and also. to give the apy further employment. Either then, or perhaps earlier, the War Office suspected 'Tribiteh and soon he found himself dispensed with, with hig elaborate scheme still incomplete. Pocket Money for Prispoers, The Canadian prisoners of war in Germany are to Foceive $1.75 a week spending money. Negotiations be tween the British and German Gov- ernments resulted in an arrangement by which the British Government will forward seven shillings a week (approximately $1.95) to each of its soldiers now prigoneraof war in Ger- many. The money will .-be sent to American Ambassador Gerard at Ber- Hin, who will see tha{ it reaches the British and Canadian prisoners.

Notice of the arrangement has just been received by the Militia Department. ; -- TO REGAIN HEALTH ~GLEANSE THE BLOOD Put your blood in good eondition, and do so at once. : Hood's Sarsagurilla acts d 1 and peculiarly on the blood--it "fies, enriches, and revitalizes it builds up the wi y J Hood's "The plen I mapped out to achieve | this will seem to many rather start- | was nothing less than a decision to | find out important naval and military | in turn to the Home Secretary, Sir | represents as 'beside himself with i Que., Monday.

Just | think! As soon as a gingle thin] layer of Zam-Buk is applied to al wound or a sore, such injury-is-in-| sured against blood poison! Not| one species of microbe has been found that Zam-Buk does not kill! Then again.' As soon as Zam-Buk| is applied to a sore, or a eut, or to, skin disease, it stops the smarting. That is why children are such friends| of Zam-Buk. They care nothing for| the science of the thing. All they| Know is that Zam-Buk stops their| pas. Mothers: should never forget this. Again. As soon as Zam-Buk is ap- plied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the skin's sur- face are so stimulated that new healthy tissue is quickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue from below is Zam-Buk's secret of healing. The tissue thus formed is worked up to thie surface and literally casts off the diseased tissue above it. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent. Only the other day Mr. Marsh, of 101 Delorimier Ave,, Montreal, called upon the Zam-Buk Co. and told them that for over twenty-five years he had been a martyr to eczema. His hands were at one time -s0 covered with 'sores that he had to sleep in gloves. Four years. ago Zam-Buk was 'introduced to him, and in a few months it cured him. To-day - over three years after his cure of a disease he had for twenty-five years --he is still cured, and has had no| trace of any return of the eczéma ! | All druggists sell Zam-Buk at §o0c.| box, or we will send free trial box if} you send this advertisement and a lc. stamp (to pay return postage).
