Pitney, | Paris, Oct. 80.--I have returned | to-day from 'a visit to the Somme | front, made for the purpose of stady-| ing and realizing on the spot the| progress made by the French since | my last visit. The progress was very weal, but made at the cos: of ierrific destruction and the. absolute sweep- ing out' of 'existence of all material objects in the path of the advancing | troops. { The contending armies in their | slow march across the rolling hills of | Pleardy left behind them a veritable | desert, and as one stands on a slight. eminence and looks across miles of this desolated land one cannot help one's gorge rising against the man and the pation responsible for this ghastly work. Bavarian Peasants Worst, The question naturally occurred to me which was worst among the many little nations composing the German Empire, and 1 said to a staff officer standing beside me: "Who, among the Germans, do yoy find most given to destruction?" "'Bavariams,"" he replied. - "I should have thought," I said, "it would have been the Prussians." "No," he replied. "The Prussians are proud, overbearing and intran- sigeant, but for pure brutishness the Bavarians exceed all, and the worst of them are the peasants. Men from the cities are not asad as the peas- ants, Education seems to improve them a little, but thé uneducated peasants are mi brutes." best { this?" ; : oT "Educated men," Ne sald; "men of families.

Harvesters, Were Tame, Possibly owing to the fact that the ey0s of blue-coated members of the provincial police department were constantly upon them, there was very little horse-play on the part of the several train loads of harvesters that have passed through Cobalt on their way to the West. Acting on instruec- tions policemen were on every train between North Bay and Cochrane in readiness for any eventualities, the commission having in mind the dam- age caused along the line last year. The only place where trouble started was at Englehart, where a mob of excursionists made an attempt to raid a grocery and fruit store. A policeman with a cocked revolver stood them off, and apart from some broken glass little daamge was done. At the same time another gang start- ed to make a get-away with a num- ber of cases of soft drinks, but when stopped they attempted to smash the bottles on the platform. Before the trdin pulled out of North-'Bay they were given the alternative of paying for the damage in full or going to the lock-up. They paid up.

Sir Max Aitken 1s 'Given Charge by the War -Office of All the Films Taken on the British Front. London, Oct. 31.--Canadian war films promise to enrich the national Patriotic funds both in England and Canada. The battle of the Somme pictures cleared only one hundred thousand dollars, it ig understood, but more, it is confidently predicted, will be realized from the Canadian pictures which will be exhibited soon on both sides of the Atlantic. Ap- plications have also been received from Australia and South Africa for the views which have some special features. Sir Max Aitken has been given charge by the War Office of all films taken on the British front These will remain the property of the Gov- ernment. Col. Mauyice Alexander, of the Canadian legal «staff in England, is doing t= legal work, and has thou- sands oi contracts for lease of the Canadian films in hand, The profits of the Canadian films exhibited in England will be divided between the Prince of Wales and the Canadian national Patriotic Funds on a pro- rata basis.

This past. year has an unknown quantity in provi- sion for two years' Dominion tax. The amount wds evidently large, The balance before dividends were paid was well abové other normal years.

New York, Oct. 30.--American in- terests associated with the Union Car- bide Company of New York have or- ganized under the laws of Canada the Electric Furnace Products Com- pany, Ltd, and are building a large plant at Saude, Norway, for the manufaeture of calcium carbide and other electro chemical products for sale in the American market. Edgar F. Price, an officer of the Union Car- bide Company, is president of the new concern, which expects to have DOGS BIG PART IN WAR. Doing Excellent Work on Battle fields of Europe. When _the historian records the story of this great war one chapter will be devoted fo the great work done by dogs. Practically 1 the European na- tions have used dogs In one way or another. They have been on the battlefield attached to the ambulance corps; on trol duty. They have been despatch carriers and scouts, and when the invasion of Belgium took place they drew the quick-firing guns to the front line of action." In addition to. 'work on the battlefield, dogs' much to aid refugees. They took their masters and"their families out of the lipe of invasion. ----. War corréspondents have told how much sagacity and courage the Bel- glan draught dogs displayed upon the battlefield at Haelen, where with the aid of Col. Isaac Newton Lewis' machine gun they held back -for a time the German advance through Belgium. Just how many wounded men on both sides of the firing line" have been saved by sheep dogs and other breeds probably never will be known. These dogs have been trained to search for wounded, and by taking & man's cap to headquarters in the field a trained nurse or doctor fol- lows the dog, leads back to the place where the man is lying. Frequently a wounded man with his last ounce of strength will use it to drag him- self out of the line of fire. It is in the out-of-the-way places that the dog has been particularly valuable. Europe has been training dogs for years to the work which they did up- on the battlefield. Prizes were their rewards, but when the war broke out they aided humanity. . These trained dogs immediately became attached to the Red Cross work, and many of them gave up their lives in aiding humans. WILSON "CRAWLED" IN NOTE TO GERMANY "Strict Accountability" Made Meaningless by Postscript Change Made. New York, Oct. 31. --U. S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge caused a big sen- sation when in a speech at Somer- ville, Mass., he asserted that Preai- dent Wilson, at the time the second Lusitania note was sent to Germany, wrote a postscript informing the Ger- man Government that the contents of his former "strict accountability" note was not to be too seriously in- terpreted. Mr. Lodge insisted that William Jennings Bryan had know- ledge of and approved of the presi- dent's postscript and that when Sec- retary of War Garrison and other to re- for {separation allowance fed from the 80 as to grant the separation | its plant completed for the beginning of shipments by 1918.

Mr. H. G. Wells Tells the Story of His Career. Before he discovered, his forte Mr. H. G. Wells; a number of whose most r works are included in the Newnes' Series of Sifpuriy Copyright Novels, tried a variety of occupations. The son of a profes- sional ericketer, he aspired in nis early days to become a black-and- white artist. Then he tried a draper's counter, put in a year or two as a teacher, and scribbled ar- ticles in his spare time. His first serious attempt at lter- ary work was in collaboration with his wife, and Mr. Wells has told how they "set to' and wrote his frst book, "The Time Machine," in a few weeks. He sent it to his friend, the late W. E. Henley, who was edi- tor 'at that time of The New 'Re- view. "The book made a hit," said Mr. Wells to the writer, when chatting of his early struggles, "and we started another story. I remember I was in ill-health at the time, and the acceptance of this story en- abled my wife and I to leave Lon- don and--live." A football accident in his early days left behind it physical injuries which were not improved by the hardships Mr, Wells suffered as a draper's shop assistant. He has placed it.on record that for a couple of years in his youthful days he slept "in ome 'of the abominable dormitories of the shop and ate the insufficient food supply. When I was fifteen I ran away one Sunday morning to my mother and told her that I would rather die than go on being a draper." : > Apropos of Mr. Weils' association with Mr. Henley, he tells an amus- ing although somewhat pathetic little story. The New Review was not exactly a successful production, and one day Mr, Wells and Mr. Hen- ley were in the office of the maga- zine, gloomily discussing its - pros- pects, when a funeral went by jn the street outside. Henley Tookéd out of the window and regarded the cortege for a moment in .silence. Then be turned to his companion and said with a worried frown: "Can that be our subscriber?"
