The accident which Jack Lavio- lette, moted Montreal athlete, met with a few days ago while driving one of his racing motor cycles at Montreal, has ended his career as a lacrosse player, as one of his limbs has had to be amputated. Laviolette's career as an athlete has been a very brilliant one as he starred in motor- eycle, racing, aeroplane, lacrosse and hockey. It was his.craze for speed that undoubtedly "brought his ath- letic career to such an unfortunate end, as speed was his middle name. He always remarked that they didn't build motorcycles too fast for him. and that he hoped 'to see the day that he would operate an aeroplane 150 miles dan hour, Few players, ir any, could fravel up and down a hockey arena as fast as Laviolette. In fact, he was a. sensation on the steel blades, as he Skated just as fast backwards as he did going straight abead, and it was a very common sight to see him jump clean over an opponent rather tran waste the time of stick-bandling around.

Philip Gibbs, the noted war cor- respondent, believes that he see signs of a coming revolt among the Teu- tons. He has noted a number of facts which appear to him very sig- nificant. They are significant because they give direct and convincing evi- dence of the assertion of an element of independence of character among the German people which has been subdued too long. Mr. Gibbs, after relating bow a waggon load of mail matter came into possession of the British recently, says the latters thus taken "reveal an agony and the spir- ited revolt of a people who now understand something of the truth, and see nothing but death in all this war." "Oh, how much longer is it all go- ing to last," writes one correspon- dent to a relative with the German army. "It is full time the wicked humbug of it were at an end. In the last few days we had news of the death of five relatives in the big of fensive. It is frightful, and still no sign of peace. The world is full of sorrow.and misery. If only this wick- ed war would end, this murder cease. Oh, what a cost, and how much more to pay before the end!" "Peace does not seem to be com- ing along, as we fondly hoped." writes another. "All this in the west is too wicked for anything, and we are full of worry and anxiety. The whole crowd out hereabouts have had news of the death of their men- folk. It is too awful for anything. Four years of it now and no sign of the end. We hope every day It will: come to a decision and that the Brit. ish will be driven into the sea; but they stand firm." The Allies stand firm. There is the shattefing of all the German hopes, There is the portent that a day of reckoning must come between the public at home and the all-high authority of the military party, which has not scrupled at any methods of pressure to sway to its will the minds of the German peopl. anwhile, behind the external - act of the written letterS-revealed by Philip Gibbs lies the internal thought and feeling which may lead on to-- revolt?
