Camp Niagara, Ontario, is their post office address, | There, even now, is seen a Slavic melting pot. There Russian, Austrian land German subjects, Poles with the traditions of Pulaski and Kosciusko behind them, find brotherhood. Even the most illiterate, the unskilled lab- orer, strong and silent, has the Pol ish imagination and can vision a new nation in the north risen from the deéspoiling of an historical land. The French, perhaps more than any other people, appreciate the Pol- ish disposition. Mutual love of free- dom binds them close. France, there- fore, will help thé Poles in America who have not become naturalized 'o come to the aid of those who would demand that Poland be freed from thé yoke of either Germany or Rus- sia, President Poincare sent to the United States a Freneh-Polish mis- sion, to appeal to these northmen who are' steadfast in their almost mystic love for religion and who still hold as their treasured hope the reality of a Polish republic. Italy, too, has offered to give money or equipment ig the organization of the 150,000 American Poles. The attitude of Italy may be summed up in the words of Arturo Colautti, the poet: "Poland; Latin by faith, west- ern in soul, French in habits and tastes; Poland the snowy rampart of Europe, already thrice guardian of civilization, has been condemned to an oblivion worse than hatred, slav- ery or death itself." Italian newas- papers have been unanimous in rea- lizing that there is no safe place in Europe until Poland is free, In one appeal which Paderewski made to hls countrymen in the Unit- ed States, he sald: "Our army fis needed. not for Fra-~a, but for Po- land. Occupied by ue enemy, Po- land is prevented from sending her sons to join the ranks of freedom's champions. . But you are here, the worthy sons of a valorous race. Con- scious of our sacred duty to the motherland, conscious of our obliga- tions to America, we have long wait- ed for this opportunity with a full responsibility before God. the nation and our own conscidnee." Poles from all over the world are being asked to come to the aid of the new army. Heavy enlistments pro- mise that the future Polish army will render effective service, Canada, as a whole, is sympathetic and is energetically supporting the Polish army. The men's uniforms, and even their food, come from the Government commissary, and when this article is written there are 5,000 in the Ontario camp. The uniforms chosen are typical of the artistry of Poland and of their passion for in- dividuality as a separate people. The tunie is a light bluish-gray, with trousers to match, and trimmed, like the cap, 4n purplish red. The white gle of the old Poland nation domi- tes the flag they expect to carry into the trenches in France, and white eagles are seen on buttons and shoul- der straps. On the boulevards of Paris already a few of these new uni- forms are noticeable. It is the first Polish army raised in more than 100 years. # That Gaul was divided into three parts is a more familiar quotation, but concerns not nearly so important a fact as the tragic partition of Po- land into three parts. "There is no exact knowledge of the number of Poles: serving in the armies of the three powers among which Poland is divided," wrote one authority on things Slavic, "but in spite of the estimate may be obtained by compari ures as are published. But it is cer- in [tain that the dumber of Poles serv- ing foreign masters in 1915 was equal to the army of France, Ger- many at that time having 111,000 men of Polish birth, Austria 82,000 and Russia 400,000 -- Pole fighting Matus Pole, at the command of alien ngs."

He found it difficult, he said; to find terms in which to express his appreciation of the patriotic and practical part which Newfoundland had taken, and -was continuing to take, in the war. He entered upon the Governorsiijp of that colony in 1913, and had remained there con- tinuously ugtil a few weeks ago, when he was summoned to London by the | Colonial Office. During that period he witnessed scenes of. enthusiasm which, "he says, 'it would be difficuit to rival as manifesiation® of patriot- ism in any other part of the Empire, and which will remain with hini as vivid memories for life. Newfoundland is small in compari- son with the big Dominions of -Can- ada, South Africa, and Australia--iis area is only one-third of that of the | United Kingdom, #nd..itg population numbers little more than d quarter of a million--but it Is proud of the dis tinction it enjoys as "Britain's oldest colony," and what it lacks in num- bers, as far as population is concern- ed, is more than made up in the in- tensity of its patriotism. 'It was my privilege," said Sir Walter Davidson, "to see that patriotic enthusiasm translated into terms of action, which, measured by results, represented =a practicable, contribution to the war resources of the Empire far beyond the anticipations of the most optimis- tic. It Is no exaggeration to say that for the purposes of the war the whole population was a unit. Every man, woman and child in the island, with- out exception, was and is animated by one impulse--to do his or her utmost by personal service or by contribu- tions in cash or kind to help the Em- pire's eause in the war. Newfound- land possesses a seafaring commun- ity which is, perhaps, larger in pro- portion to its population than In any of the other overseas dominions. And, perhaps, as a natural corollary, it produces the finest seamen in the world. These men have gone into the Royal Naval Reserve in their thou- sands, and have there won a reputa- tion for valor and seamanship which stands out as one of the most inspir- ting facts of Newfoundland's partiei- { pation In the war, And what is true of the sea forces is equally true of the fikhting men in the Newfound- land regiments, who have distinguish- ed themselves in a degree whieh, 1 think, merits special distinction. Even the highest honors for miljtary service in. the gift of the nation would be no more than a just recog- nition of their gallantry and hero- ism." The Fool-Hen of Canada. Wasn't it Theodore Roosevelt who brought back from Brazil the story of a bird that gnashed its teeth? Dan Beard has been hunting in Canada, and he has another kind of bird. He tells about it in Boys' Life, as follows: That night we heard the moose grunting around the little lake a few vards back from our camp and in the morning saw their fresh tracks in the snow that had fallen during the night. The chief had risen very, early, and at dawn he and Isaac Hunter, the halfbreed, shouldered their guns and went to look for meat, You see our party was not out for blood, nor ever for heads. but we were fo be gone about a month and needed some fresh meat, 50 off we started through the silent woods, climbing over snow-covered fallen Jogs, but we met nothing except some fool-hens--this is the name given to these birds by hunters because the birds do not seem to be afraid of peo- ple and consequently they are birds whieh will become extinct as soon as their country becomes the resort © y tless hunters, A ] fool-hen has already been ex- terminated in many parts of the northern States because this bird; the 'spruce grouse (Canachites canadensis canted), is so unsuspicious of harm| from men that I have seen them sit quietly on a limb while a boy shot t with a twenty-two rifle. ; The Alberta Government has ex- tended the close season for antelope, whieh expired this year, until 1925, e 8 is all but extinct. Sas- it was only when winter quarters be- man prisoners are at work on the land, helping to produce the corn and other articles the country needs so badly. The example of a prominent land- owner on his home farm of 1,200 acres (70 acres arabic) im a south- western county is instructive, At the beginning of this year the au- thorities were induced to allocate to him about 30 prisoners. Most of the prisoners chosen had been engaged in farm work in their own country, and the others were skilled artisans used to country life, and they and the trained hands adapted themselves quickly to tke "'few conditions of work and living. The laborers be- side whom they were to work offered no opposition to their employment, Of course, it was made clear to them |- that it was a choice between Ger- man prisoners and reduced food pro- duction, and this removed instantly whatever objection as entertained to the introduction of enemy prison- ers to the farm and the neighbor-| hood. The idea that the prisoners! were to be utilized to produce food] for the nation instead of being kept, as many of them were, in idleness, commended itself to the shrewd peo- ple of the south-western district. The number of employers who could provide work and accommoda- tion for as niany as thirty men is probably small, but it would be as easy to arrange for ten as for thirty, and if the size of the batch could be réduced, say to ten, or bétter still, to five, wider possibilities for the scheme would be opened up. The plan involved the .eréction of new buildings on the farm referred to, beyond an ordinary iy hut to in- crease the accommodation provided by the adaptation of three unoccu- pied cottages. In the summer some of the men were under canvas, and came necessary that the erected. The cottages block, and were made in the interior walls for hut was form one the convenience of the prisoners and | the guard of thfee soldiers. The prisoners draw their rations from the camp af stated times," and one of them' cooks for the draft. The men: have given proof of their industry and skill in the cottages and in the use to which they have put their in- closure as well as on the farm. The dormitories and living roms are neat and clean, and the area within the barbed wire fence is used for grow- ing vegetables and breeding rabbits in wonderful abundance, the latter the progeny of a few given by the employer. In a few weeks the prisoners will have completed a year's work, and they have been tested in all kinds of labor. The nature of employment varies as the season changes; some of the men hawe driven horses field operations, harrowing, and drilling, others have done carting and others manual work. In ail capacities they have shown equal aptitude and willingness to jelp. The standard of efficiency is high, and there has been no friction between. the prisoners and loéal workers, When I visited thé farm the day's program included the cart- ing of mangolds from the field to the homestead, where the roots were being stored in a huge Duteh barn, and although this work entailed the inclusion of both English and Ger- man labor, amicable relations ap- : to exist, and only the armed guard and the tunics of the prison- ers indicated the exceptional nature of the situation. The language dim- culty was troublesome at' first, but with the aid of dictionaries it was soon surmounted, and the whole ar- rangement works smoothly and with appreciable advantage to the coun- try, for the work on'the farm is far more forward than is common in the district, and the additional forty acres of corn.
