Work on Sub-Station. Renfrew, May 1.--Work has been begun by the Calabogie Light and Power Co., upon the construction of a sub-station in Renfrew.

Much material is on the ground, and judging from it the station is to be no small affair, although the main outlay will be on the costly machinery which the station is to contain. "The Revolution in Russia | FTER an absence of a little more than three months, Mr. George Bury has just returned from Russia, which country he visit. ¢d at the request of the British and Russian Governmenfs in connection with transportation. Mr. Bury was accompanied through- out his trip by Mr. W. H. Winter- rowd, Assistant Chief Mechanical En- gineer of the Canadian Pacific. Mr. Bury and Mr. Winterrowd travelled from London to the merth of Scot- land, from where they were carried to Norway by a British destroyer. They proceeded through Norway, Sweden and Finland te Russia. Mr. Bury states that his experience gained by close personal contact and association with Lord Shaughnessy enabled -him to make recommenda- tions which were accepted by the old Russian Government as well as by the new, who are now putting them ito force with great vigor.) "Russia," he says, "is, of course, an im country. It has a popu- lation of 176 million people. The last time they took the census the papers had to be printed in seventy-two lan- guages, or dialects. | I "In Russia I travelled from a point * where | saw reindeer caravans to a point where | saw caravans of camels --that is, from Lapland to the Cau- casus.

(Special to the Whig) London, May 2.--England"s pre- sent national debt 18 1% billion dollars, according to figures included nn the budget introduced in the House of Commons today by Chan- cellor of the Exchequer. Andrew Bonar Law. Among the increases in taxhtion was the fixing of the duty of 80 per cent. on: excess profits of manufaec- turers'in England, as against 60 per cent. carried in last year's budget, and an advance of a shilling and ten pence per pound sterling on te- bacco. "Since the war opened, Britain has advanced nearly three _ billion dol- lars to her Allies, and 681 millions to her Dominjons. By the increase of the tobaeco duty, the Government expects, to in- crease the yield of money by 2% mil lions per year. Canadian Casualties. Killed in Action--M. Labow, Pem- broke; A. Edwards, C.

Red Cross Work Done by Women in England. . Mrs. W. H. Cawthra of Toronfo, where she was actively engaged in the work of the Canadian'Red Cross Society under Lady Drummond, gives an interesting description of the per- fect system that Lady Drummond has department. It was in the filing and record depart- ment that Mrs. Cawthra worked as well as being the authorized. visitor of the Red Cross, for two hospitals. At every hospital in England blue tickets are left with the secretary or O. C. to be giver to any Canadian who may be admitted. This is called a "Welcome Ticket" in that it may be filled out by the patient for any- thing that he needs or wants. And invariably the patient wants his own razor and shaying outfit, for he loses this when wounded. There is also a great demand for Canadian badges, such as "Canada" or the 'Maple Leaf" that they lose off their caps and uniforms. If the thing asked for is not at headquarters, it is bought and sent to the wounded Tommy. The authorized nurse visits him once a week. On the first visit she gets such particulars as name, num- ber, battalion, when wounded, nature of wound when admitted to hospital, and next-of-kin and their address. These particulars are all put on a card and filed. The relatives are then communicated with and all par- ticulars given. Once a week a letter goes to the nmext-of-kin telling of the progress of the patient. . When be is sent to a Convalescent Home he is then considered able to do this work himself. Miss Clara Hagarty, of Toronto, the well known artist, is in charge of the parcel room, having been there from the start, and never missed a day. The parcels are made up individually and sent collectively to the hospitals. The largest number of parcels ever pent out in one day was 496. Another interesting department is the paper scction, where all the newspapers are received. A soldier may ask for a Hamilton paper, and if unobtainable a Toronto one is sent him, or he may be from Calgary, and get a Winnipeg paper. Countess Fe- rozine, formerly Miss Molson, of Montreal, is in eharge of this work iante An ~ rides is another very well organized work. Large cards are hung in the hospitals telling that if anyone wants a motor ride to communicate with the Red Cross. There are four spe- cial cars ready to- take them for a run into the country for tea or pos- sibly just to the theatre. A large Red Cross is painted on the wind- shield. Sir Arthur Lawley supplies va car and chauffeur. Mr. W. H. Caw- thra another, which he drives him- self. Deiightful hospitality is offer- ed the boys by -charming English hostesses, eager to shower kindness on the brave Canadians. Mrs. Rivers Bulkley is in charge of the_prisoner of war parcels and everything is working smodthly now. Some idea ef the work that many | of Canada's smart society girls are doing in London was given when Mrs. Cawthra told of the Maple Leaf Clubs and what they mean to our boys. Lady Drummond is head of this work also, and there are seven of them running, with a possibility of the need for more. Miss Macdon- ald, daughter of Dr. A. A. Maecdon- ald, is in charge of three in Con- naught Place and has eight others associated with her. They do all the work voluntarily, make beds, sweep, wait on table, and help in the kitch- en, Miss Ashton, of Montreal, being most invaluable in ber work. Break- fast and dinner is served, but no mid- day meal. On Wednesdays the V. A.D. workers get a day off and the I.O.D.E. go in and work. Lady Allan acts as manager. Princess Patricia and her lady in waiting, . Miss Adams, Lady Evelyn Farquhar, Mrs. Cawthra, and several Toronto women all "do their bit" at the clubs.
