This remarkable and melaicholy includes eighty nes d un- shed documents, a critical of the German White Book on the alleged atrocities in Belgium, ind a verbatim reprint of the semi- official article by Prof. Morgan which appeared in the Nineteenth Century Magazine The author was Home Commissioner with the British 2x- peditionary Force, His enquiry in France resulted in the establishment of German brutality on a large scale as a matter of quite irrefragable proof. It is a gruesome story/that he unfolds piece by piece, and ¥hich he proves up to the hilt. Outraiges and illtreatment and beastliness of the most abhorent and shocking charac- ter were perpetrated alike by German officers and soldiers and upon women, children, the aged and helpless and upon non-combatants as wel 8 com- batants in the field. The name of Germany must smell to heaven. Prof. Morgan's fairness is well ex- emplified by the following narrative, whieh is especially interesting to Ca nadians "The reader," he says, "may remember that in May of last vear a report as to the crucifixion of two Canadian soldiers obtained vide "currency.

To read them makes one shudder and---wonder many thingd. How can the world be delivered from the repetition of such things? the: author enquires, He answers his own question, rather hopelessly: "I confess I cdn see no hope. 1 can see no way out of the By of I ui] except an armed peace, with the elimination, as a hasis, for a long time to €ome, of Ger many from the councils of Europe."

Theése the author makes clear, and his explanation is absorbingly inter- esting. An admirable chapter is that devoted to a delineation of the Ger- man temper, Here the author shows his close acquaintance with German thought and teachings.

Many will recall Dr. Tanner's 40 days ; without food, but who could live a single week without sleep and retain their reason. It is during sleep that the nervous system is re- ptorad ard the nerve force, consumed by the activi- ties of the day, is replaced. Sleeplessness is oné of the first and one of the most torturing symptoms of nervous exhaustion. With sleeplessness you find nervous headaches, tired, wornout feelings, indigestion, lack of ¢nergy and strength. You eannof compose yourself to rest or sleep. The nerve force in the body is at low ebb, and the feeble, wasted nerve cells must be nourished back to health and strength by such treatment as Dr. Chasé's Nerve Food. You must not confuse this food eure with drugs taken to produce'sleep, for.it works in an entirely different way. It is not a quick relief, but a restora- tive, upbuilding treatment. vitalized sleep comes naturally with its soothing in- fluenee and hastens recovery.

When Philura lice, the quaint and lovable heroine) of "The Transfiguration of Miss Philura," married the Rev. Silas Pet- | tibone, she should have been happy ever after. But she wasn't. There! was one thing she hungered for with a deep, quiet heartache which she had | even from her husband. In the course of parish visiting with the Rev, Silas she meets a fam- ily of newcomers, the Hills', and thereby makes some unusual acquain- tances and is introduced to a mys- tery. And the mystery only deepens as the story progresses. Walter Hill, apparently at odds with his young wife, Sylvia, falls passionately in love with Millie Orme, and declares that he wrongs no one in telling her of it. Then comes a day when the unhappy Sylvia tells her story to little Mrs. Pettibone... The birth of a child at old Pggleston House; the sudden flight of the mother; and Philura's sweet gain because of another's bit- ter loss, brings one near the unex- pected close of the story--when everything turns out happy for every- body, and all because of the little candle of love and trust shining steadfastly in one of life's dark places ------ "Where Duty Leads."

In due time duty called and he offered himself for overseas service. He secured a connection with the 109th Overseas Battalion, was given an appointment, and ultimate- ly climbed to the post of adjutant of the battalion. Here his executive and organization ability was so. ap- parent that a number of his methods and changes instituted in the 109th was adopted as Hewdquarters Regu- lations. In the midst of his military Anties, which it may be imagined kept him rather busily engaged, Capt. MacConnell found time to write his impressions regarding the situation which, peculiarly enough, hi put in| hlank verse. Capt.
