A Midget Automobile For a Wound- ed Soldier Napanee, July 14. --""Jimmie" Ste- vens, returned soldier, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stevens, at pres- ent in a hospital in Toronto, recelv- ed a most acceptable gift in the shape of a midget automobile, built especially for legless soldiers. He was also presented with a $5 bill to buy gasoline. The circumstances surrounding the gift are as follows: A New York lady, whose heart was in the right place, was visiting the hos- pital for returned soldiers, and evi- dently was attracted by the youth- ful appearance and tie nature of the battle scars which "Jim' bore. Re- ceiving a negative answer to her enquiries as to whether "Jim" was the possessor of a midget automo- bile she went down to Eaton's store and purchased a car. Returning she informed "Jim' that she had pur- chased a car for him, and also pre- sented him with a $5 bill to buy the first lot of gasoline. It is needless to say "Jim" was delighted. Fire in Lumber Yard. Cornwall, July 13.--A fire started at the saw mills of the St. Lawrence Lumber and Box Co., South Lancas- ter, on' Wednesday, and about $3,000 worth of lumber was destroyed. The fire started in a pile of pine lum- ber. The cause is unknown. For- tunately rain was falling heavily at the time, and this, with the good work done by the yard help saved the two mills and much lumber from de- struction. Had the fire started in dry weather the consequences would probably have been much more seri- ous, Kept Liquor in Stable.

With some exceptions, the officers have not made any com- plaints as to their lodgings and food. As for the soldiers, the question is different. We know that the Turk- ish soldiers are subjected to the same regime; they are content with very little, endure the greatest privations and are accustomed to the smallest amount of nourishment. The Europeans, principally those coming from Kut, have been so weak- ened by the marches across the desert that one can understand their restoration to health would be ren- dered difficult by an insufficient diet. When, as at Afium Karahissar, they have to work, their strength is taxed to an extent which is not in propor- | tion with their power of resistance. | This implies no blame on the Turkish | authorities, but is the result of ex- ceptional circumstances.'

Brusa, whiyh was visited on Novem- ber 21st and 22nd, fourteen British officers including six generals were at thie Hotel Brotte and Hotel Os- manieh, At Afium Karahissar on November 28th, there were 67 British officers, 482 British soldiers, and 223 Indian soldiers. The quality of the food was satisfactory but the quantity rather too small. The delegates received an assurance from the Turkish high command that the prisoners shall not be obliged to work more than eight hours a day; they receive ex- actly the same food as the Turkish soldier, The delegates declare themselves extremely satisfied with the arrange- ments made by the British authori- ties for the housing, feeding, and clothing of Turkish prisoners. 7 A "Lightning Calculator."

Guatemala's decision to follow the example of the United States in breaking off diplomatic relations with Germany adds to the world al- | llance against Teutonic imperialism the strongest of Central American republics. 5 With an army which in peace times numbers 7,000 men, and with a reserve force estimated from 78,- 000 to 87,000, Guatemala is by far the most important military force in Central America. In area it is sev- eral thousand square miles mates the size of Louisiana, with a population equal to that of Virginia. Of its sister republies, Nicaragua embraces slightly more territory, but has less than one-third the popula- tion. Thejtotal available unorganized milit strength of Guatemala fis 338,000 men, which is three-fourths as large as all the rest of Central America combined. Guatemala has seventy miles of coast line on the Atlantic seaboard and 200 miles on the Pacific, the best | harbor, Puerto Barrios, being on the Atlantic, with regular steamship service to New York and New Or- The fact that Guatemala was the first of the Central American repub- lies to align itself with the United States came as something of a sur- prise in view of the fact that the country's industrial and ' commercial life had been permeated by German hfigence before the war. It was Ger- capital which had built much of the 502 miles of railway in the re- public, and it was Germany which used to buy a large percentage of the coffee produced on the Guatemalan plantations, many of which were either owned or managed by Ger- mans.

CANADIANS WANTED TO AVENGE YPRES But Imperial Troops Were Given the Task--Byng Boys Busy Elsewhere. Campbeliford, July 14.--Pte. Mat- thew Sergeant, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Sergeant of this place, who was recently wounded, in writing from a hospital in England, says, in speak- ing of the big push at Ypres made chiefly by Imperial troops, that the Canadians wanted to make the drive and avenge the second and third battles of Ypres. The Canadian sul- diers were the more anxious to do this, he says, on account of holding the salient for so long, notwith- standing every German thrust that was made against it. Nevertheless, ™ he says, 'they have done their bit on other parts of the front. The mines that were blown up at Ypres were no surprise to us. "We knew of them all right." I would like to dave been there to have seen certaln towns go up in dust.
