The letter is in Gerr and is one of many, which were dr ed from allied airplanes while flying over the German lines. The idea is said to have been con- ceived by Lord Northcliffe, and fis designed to give the Huns a true in- sight into conditions as they actually exist. ' The letter, follows: "A Voice From the Grave, (Poem from the diary of a German soldier, who fell a victim to the proud lust for power.) "A Soldier's Fate: "1 was a soldier, but I was so re- luctantly. They did not ask me to enlist but dragged me away to the barracks. I became a prisoner, hunted down !ike a wild beast. had to go from my home, from the hoart of my beloved, and from the circle of my friends, When I think of this I am filled' with yearning and my heart burns with indignation. "I was a soldier, but only against my will. I did not like the gaudy uniform. 1 did not like the hard military life. A stick would suffice to defend me, and if I am to go into the field, then I am to kill my brothers, not one of whom has done me any harm. For this, a cripple, reap care and humiliation, and starv- ing, 1 would then cry--'1 was a soldier!' "1 was a soldier! Day and night 1 had to march instead of atténding to my business. I had to be on guard instead of being [ree, [ had to sa- lute and behold the arrogance of many a knave, : "Oh, tell me, why are there soldiers at all? Every nation loves rest and peace alone, but only for the lust of power and to cause injury and to cauge the gold ficlds to be trampled down, "Therefore, up Brothers! Germans, French, Hungarians, Danes or Fleni- ish--whether your trousers be white, black, red or blue. Extend a broth- er's hand instead of a leaden greet- ing, Up!

The New York Sun tells of a sub- scription "bee" for the Sun's fund to buy tobacco for soldiers, held at the Hotel Shelburne, Brighton Beach. Pte. Peat made two speeches and did some of the auctioning of articles contributed for the fund. The Sua | proceeds: And, besides several others, there was Alfred Rogers, merchant, of To- ronto, Canada, present, with his wal- let, a generous heart and an abun- dance of patriotism. The first article offered for sale a! auction was a pair of Billy Burke pyjamas, wonderfully dainty andi pretty. "What am 1 bid for this adorable garment?" called Miss Tucker. "Five hundred dollars," shouted Mr. Rogers. The first bid was the winper. "Thanks a thousand times," said Miss Tucker in delivering the pur- chase, "No thanks are due me," Mr. Rogers protested. 'I'm a Canadian, and | was moved by that speech of Pte. Peat's. Peat's one of: us, you know. And, besides, 1 lost a brother in France, If 1 can help any of the fellows over there I'm doing only my little bit. And I don't know of any better way of helping than througn the tobacco fund," Halibut Catch Dwindles. The Vancouver Province publishes the following news item: There is no doubt that thé halibut are vanishing from the known banks up north and are peeking new grounds, for the halibut fishing fleet is having very bad luck. Steamer after steamer ar- rives and hails small catches, al- though the weather has been good. In many cases, the fish brought in do not pay the expense of the voy- age. The steamer Kingsway has come in with 20,000 lbs. of halibut and 15,000 lbs. of cod after a trip of three weeks. This is very ex- pensive fishing. Not so many years ago the steamery used to bring in from 200,000 1bs. fo 300,000 Ibs. and sometimes 400,000 lbs. 2 trip, and were only out a week or ten days. The declining supply of halibut has placed this fish in the luxury ¢lass. and people who wish to provice cheap substitutes for meat must turn to other varieties of fish. There is a large number of edible fish which are available at low cost. We have no right. to complain that the cost of fish is high if we limit our demand to halibut and a few such luxury varieties.

LATEST REQUEST American Government Behind Sale and Exploitation of Own Seals. CENTER OF INDUSTRY HERE | Prophecies for Autumn Are That | France and America Will Join in ™ Using Soft, Rippling Furs in Lavish Quantities. New York.--The American govern: | ment is interested In the exploitation of sealshin. That Is a s¢nience preg: nant with significance. It means one thing : to Hooverize on the other furs and use the kind which the Pacific coast produces, writes a leading fash- fon correspondent. It is sald that the dyes and the pre paration of fur for costume usage are exceptionally good. The story goes that quite a degree of sharp Irritation has been caused among certain groups of individuals concerning the dyeing knowledge that St, Louis has made he: own. Whatever the outcome of the Designers of clothes have already started October fashions, and here is | one of them. It Is a sult of green duvetyn, with a big collar of squirrel. It is embroidered ' in squirrel-gray chenille, and the wide double-breasted waistcoat Is of gray silk. irritation, the fact remains that the fur people say that women have noth- ing to fear from the grade, the quality or the coloration of the fur that will bear the American label. Everyone does not know the extra. ordinary situation which was develop- ed In the fur trade before the war broke. The simplest pleca of Ameri ean peltry that an American girl wore had probably made a little journey half sround the world and was far more traveled than its possessor, You could catch a 'coon In Georgia, send it to London for preparation, across the English channel to France to have style and finish put into it, then, from a port in France to au Atlantic port and finally journey it across the con tinent, drop it into various places, well known and unknown, and sell it to an American woman. Such was the fate of a piece of fur Today our peltry stays at home. We rats the nation does not need, and turp them out between St. Louis, New York Chicago and San Francisco Into a mot: ley array of admirable furs, Will Push Native Sealskins. Fostering this condition is the Amer fean government. Our native seal skin will be pushed to the limit of ex ploitation as @ fashionable fur, and there is no reason for women to linge: far behind tthe government in its de sire to have these skins sold in a steady fashion. The reason for the enthusiasm or the part of the majority of women fo this soft and pliable fur, Is its effect upon the human face and figure. itis singularly attractive to flesh and bope It falls into supple folds; it brings out the hest in an complexion. Raccoon opossum, skunk and all the other long haired furs are stylish. one admits, but they are not becoming.

The diamond earrings will not re- turn to fashion, but the ostrich feather and the sealskin coat will come out on the primrose path of fashion in the early autumn, The women of England and France have led the way. The ostrich plume was first demanded by those who made { money in munitions and had to spend it on the symbols of luxury; but soon the French women took it up for its with blue and rose pink, black and brown thickly curled esirich plumes floating eround the crown and drop- ping down on the shoulder.

The American designers, as well as those in France, are taking time by the forelock and exhibiting autumn gowns that hiay be bought at the pres- ent moment and worn at summer re- sorts cool enough to make fur endur- able. To the outsider, the very thought of peltry in our hot, humid climate dur- ing July and August, is depressing; but there are thousands who are not so easily depressed by a circumstance over which they have full control. They want fur; they like to wear it, and it pleases them to make a piquant contrast between thelr costume and the thermometer. . Therefore, the designers will let them have their way. They not only give them separate pleces of fur, but gowns trimmed with it, eapes bordered with it and blouses heaped with it. Mind you, they are not stingy about fur on these new clothes, There is not a tiny fringe of it on a -chiffon ruffle, as In other days, but it Is used In a bold and lavish manner, such as 20- inch bands, medieval sleéves and huge girdles with bows at the back. It does not take superfine reckoning to realize that the American sealskin Is about the only fur that ean be used in this generous fashion. The stiff-haired pelts cannot be manipulated into pleces of a garment; they must remain ss separate entities used as accessories, imitates Medicval Coat of Wail. We are not only going to embellish our bodies with saft furs as a protest and protection against the lack of coal and hot water in zero winters, but we delightedly find that the designers are giving to the world a new material that looks exactly like a coat of mail Women will have jerkins of it with sealskin sleeves, or they will have long tunics of it, girdled at the waist with Indian red silk and glittering in the sun. There will be short skirts of seal- skin sometimes worn under these long jerkins or coats'of mall, and there will be evening gowns built of this silver and gold coat of mail cloth. In contrast to these glittering and 'sumptuous fabrics of a day when men had to wear armor as a constant pro- tection from the danger thrust of an enemy, are the new coats of leather. They shimmer and shine in the rain; they protect one from the cold; they will be used jas jerkins, as short jack- ets over thick, woolen skirts when the autumn comes, This fashion has been stolen of its glory in October by smart women al- 4 This frock is In medieval effect and ie built of green cloth and black satin, which is embroidered with white An: gora wool.

When the Government asks you to buy bonds it is very important to the Government that you should be able 'o buy them! : You are either a citizen-asset to your Government or you are a citizen-liability to it. If you keep yourself efficient, maintain and de- velop your earning capacity, use moderation in your expenditures, wasting nothing at all, and holding al- ways all that you have at the eall of the nation--you are a cilizen-asset, serving usefully in the great crisis. If vou waste, if you spénd recklessly, if you run in debt in order to gratify your whims or your desirés for amusement; if you buy more than you need, or pay more than is necessary for the things you need, leav- ing nothing for investment in the securities of the Government--then vou are a citizen-liabilily, and your country is carrying you as a dead weight on its shoulders. You can aim a blow at your Government through hoarding as well as through wasting. It is up to you to find the reasonable middle ground, to buy wisely, to buy to the best advantage. When you spend a dol- lar for something nseful to you that dollar has enlist- ed in the service of the Government--it helps to sus- tain some vital industry. That dollar goes to work---- and works for victory in its.way quite as surely as the yJlar that goes directly to the front in the way of mu- ions or military equipment.
