Those whe had just escaped from the Hun in- ternment camps when seen at Berne by Lt.-Col. Claude Bryan, Assistant commissioner of the Canadian Red! Cross, declared that they would be! bappy there forever, that they wanted nothing better. But those who had benefitted by the exchange some months back were suffering from en~ nui and chafing to get back to Canadi, They were tired of those wonderful mountains which in peace time caus- ed AMurren, Chateau d'Oeux oo from the entire globe. Beyond this! homesickness and certain minor mat- ters connected with the administra~ tion, there was little to grumble] about, and on the other hand, much for which there should be gratitude. | There are approximately in these| internment camps of the little Tepub-| lic' 15,000 French, 8,000 Germans, 2,000 Belgians and 1,200 British, and! { the last number embraces about 100, i Canadians The hotel and pension keepers be- ing deprived of their tourist business have been glad to accept belligerents| as paying guests and they are, on the | whole, giving a square deal. For men! who have been on the banting system | of the Hun internment camp, the pri- mary recommendation of the Swiss camps is that food is good and plen- tiful. Col. Hodgetts thowed me the following dietary, which he, as medical man, declared ample and, in fact, more generous than many Eng-| lish people now obtain: Meat, bread, 10 ounces; milk, 30 ounces; flcur, 8 ounces; sausages, cheese, 2 ounces; lard, about 2 ounces; butter, just over 1} ounce; with coced, coffee, jam, fruit and sugar. In addition, sick men are given more delicate foods. The Canadians, stated Col. Bryan, potatoes, | authorities, and this he attributes largely to their energy and readiness to undertake any task assigned to them. Some of the most responsible appointments were held by Cana dians. Capt. W. H. Hooper, of Carla. ton Place, Ont, is chief paymaster Pi- cot, military attache of the British Legation, who has charge of all Brit-| isl interned, and in the ordnance; department the chief ; assistant is Capt. T. V. Scudamore, of British Columbia. * * That no man need regard his in. ternment period as lost in future Many facilities . have been given for learning trades and indus- try, of which Col. Bryan made a per- sonal inspection, 'The motor me- chanical school at Vevey is in charge of Lieut. A. '. McLurg, of Sault Ste.

"These cases are cited," sald the assistant commissioner, "as examples of Canadiar industry, and the result has been to procure a very cheerful 'lot of men who otherwise would find their Mmternment exces- sively tedious." While waiting at Berne Central Station, Lt.-Col. Bryan saw a train. load of new arrivals come in from Germany, and in this convoy were five Tanadian officers and 38 other ranks, Col. Ussher was one of the officers. Mrs. Fraser, an Ontario worker in the Canadian Red Cross in London, was also there in charge of a party of relatives of prisoners. Most of these new arrivals were In good health, and they reported that their treatment by the enemy had im-~ proved considerably in recent months; moreover, it appears that the nearer they draw to the border, the beftér they are treated, so that the last impressions slall dwell with them. Ope thing they reported was that the representations which are be- ing made as to cegtazin urgent cases forrepatriation do net appear to have much effect.

Grand to-night and Friday, | matinee and night, there are! three stars, each with a large! enough following to "make" the piec-| ture in ¢ which they are appearing. Carlyle Blackwell is one of screen- dom's most popular + and talented; leading men. In "Good For Noth-| ing" he has the part of the debonair] young hero, a role that suits him to! perfection. Muriel Ostrich is well-| known for her exceptional beauty and | talent, while Evelvn Greely has re- cently been starred in a number of picture successes. They both have | parts in this pletyre which endbles! them to display 'their respective tal-| ents. | Lonesome Luke appears in his' greatest two-reel laugh-producer, | "Birds of a Feather." Other inter-| esting reels and an act of high-class! vaudeville 'completes this double programme for to-night and Friday. vd = "The White Feather," On next Saturday, March 23rd, matinee and night, at the Grand Opera House Albert Brown will re- vive "I'he White Feather," which deals with the present European con- flict and is described as the greatest detective war play ever written and which is now in its third vear of un- precedented success, The play con- tains all the ingredients and thrills necessary to satisfy the most blase theatre-goer, including German sub- | marine and Emglish warships, four , German sples, two English secret ser- {vice agents, a new recruit, an iras- | eible M.P., and his daughter who, of course, is in love with the secret ser-! i vice chap; a wireless outfit conceal-| ;ed in the drawing room where the scene of the play-is laid; a wonderful dictograph; an always-to-be-forgot-| ten pipe; a code book of signals which! falls into the wrong hands; carrier) pigeons, a cane shaped gun which works wonders at the proper time | |all add to the great success and end- less thrills' of this big secret service drama, Mr. Brown will be supported | by an all English company. Bargain prices prevail for this engagement. | At Griffin's, | In "Stella Maris," the Artcraft pie-| | ture which is being shown at Grif- fin's this evening and also Friday and Saturday, matinee and night, Mary Pickford plays a part wonderfully adapted to her, In fact, the illus-| trations in the novel by Wm. J.| Locke, show Stella Maris as a replica of Little Mary, golden curls and all. | The portrayal of two characters so! , vastly different by Mary Pickford | will probably stand as a wonderful | | achievement in screen art. Those | | who have seen Mary only as the "'be- | { loved curley head" will be amazed at the art she displays In this picture. "The Babes in the Woods," William | Fox's latest kiddies' picture, is a masterpiece that will live for years,| | is another feature of our programme. | I'It is a photo-fantasy that will carry] { ilmdom before it or with it. Itisa| | story that is old in origin but always! new in the telling, At the Strand. For the last three days of this 'week a double feature bill of excep+ tional merit will held the boards at this popular theatre. Madge Ken- nedy will be seen in her lafest Gold- | wyn screen vehiele, "Our Little { Wife," from the stage success of the Same name. by Mary Hopwood. | "Our Little Wife" is the story of a | beautiful bride who cheered her re- jected lovers by taking them on her honeymoon. Can you imagine the feelings of the husband with three love-sick rivals at his elbow? Can ! you picture the many plots, the jeal- ousies, suspicions and accusations? And can you imagine anyone who can get the drama and the fun out of this role so wonderfully as Madge Kennedy with her eyes and 'her smile? Baby Marie Osborne will also be seen in "A Little Patriot," a delightful and timely picture, which tells how Baby Marie Osborne and her band juvenile patriots cap : hold a spy ti 's Gotha comes, and after a thrilling fight make him a prisoner. Comedy reels will also 'be shown. } Election at Clayton, N.Y. (Clayton, N.Y., March 21.--The Clayton village election was very quiet. There were 'only sixty-nine votes cast.
