'Now Numbers in England - Nearly Fifty Thousand. The League of Fairy Godmothers which was started in England soon| after the beginning of the war by the wife of Gen. R. F. Johnson now num- bers nearly 50,000. The object of the organization is to establish a link be- tween those at home and the gunners at the front. Because the heavy siege and moun- tain batteries are recruited ¥rom the whole kingdom the gunners have no local societies to look after their in- terest at home. During the first months of the war, when the soldiers in other departments were receiving little tit-bits through the various so- cieties at home, the gunners felt very much out in the cold, so much so that they become known as the "Homeless Hectors." Being a fairy godmother to one of the Homeless Hectors is not very tax- ing. All that is required is the send- ing each week a copy of some weekly paper or magazine and at stated in- tervals a small parcel containing a shir., a colored pocket handkerchief, tobacco and a pipe, or some such use- ful article, which will give the gun- ner the feeling that he has some one at home who thinks of him as an in- dividual. oe. name for the temple, ) other place large enough a crowd ps we hear of 8, Tongues parting i margin, distributing themselves. pare Paul's rather similar phrase Cor. 12. 11.

There are many folks, especially women, who allow themselves to lapse into a state of nervous depression owing to the tumultuous times through which we are passing. None would seek to under-estimate the seriousness of the great issues that are being decided, but everyone owes it to the community to keep as normal as possible. On the face of it, it appears cal- lous, but if we go about our work and our play in the ordinary way each will be doing his or her little bit towards keeping" the calmness and normality so desirable, = ove all, work, Although not al- ppreciated, work is the great- est boon given to mankind, especially in.a period of the type through which are passing.

The moneyed classes | nations of Britain may feel the pinch of high- er taxes, but the general commercial prosperity of Britain seems likely. to be augmented by the results of the war. It is absolutely incorrect to pretend, as many blind and foolish Anglophobes are 'doing, that Britain's naval supremacy has been destroyed. I have already demonstrated-in an. other publication that. the British Fleet is stronger to-day than before the war. British naval supremacy is go overwhelming that it has reached the superlative degree. British mari- time superiority cannot become great- ef than it is at the present moment. 1t is only dangerous and mischievous when Germans have a false impres- sion of these matters. It 'is a far bet- ter policy to see things as they are. Nothing 'could be more perilous to Germany than to underrate Britain's power and resources. Practically Unassailable. The fable spread in Germany that Britain's immunity from invasion has been destroyed is dangerously mis- leading. It is true that a few air- ships have flown over the island, but it requires much more than individual Zeppelins to abolish Britains insular- ity. - There -may be .some vulnerable | points of the British Empire overseas, but Britain herself is practically un- assailable.

Just now when British sailors are maintaining their fine reputation so splendidly, it is well to remember the great memories which lie behind them. They carry with them always certain mementoes of some of Britain's proudest deeds. The three rows of white tape round the edge of the bluejacket's collar commemorate the famous victories of Copenhagen, the Nile and Trafalgar, And the knotted black silk scarf worn by every sailor is there as a sign of mourning for .the death of Nelson. When it became known that Nelson had perished, these black scarfs were adopted by the men quite spontaneously, and have been worn ever since. | SL TRIANGULAR BANDAGE. Japanese Taught Modern Armies Its ~ Usefulness in War. The triangular bandage first intro-| duced by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese war is. now being | widely used in the European war. It | has been found that bandages of this type are suitable for binding up| wounds in any part of the body, and, that one can be carried by each dol- | dier without inconvenience. The Germans improved it by printing on the bandage itself, in sterilized ink, various figures showing how it is to be applied: * The British War Office then adopted the idea, and every Brit- ish soldier now ' carries one of the printed bandages in a special pocket of his thnic. This bandage is often: applied without assistance by the wounded soldier. { 2 Be fmm place, and may even be miswritten some other district: Ayodhya (O has been suggested. 10.

It Knows the Trumpet Call as Well as the Rider. : It was recently announced that the Dutch across the border thought the Gérmans had been routed by ' the riderless horses they saw galloping about in troops. : Th The return of riderless Horses to camp is an almost certain sign of a rout that amounts almost to annihi- lation. A horse may lose its trooper,' but, unless it is wounded, it will nears ly always keep on with the rest. If the battle is lost, and the army is driven from the field in confusion, the ownerless horses will return te camp or remain on the field, often galloping about in military formation, but avoiding the wounded. hg An army horse knows the trumpet call as well as its rider, and when squadron forms up to charge it train at the bit, anxious to i but it does not like waiting nothing, especially if expo 'Many attempts have been xtend the Geneva Conventis mals; the proposal has received pathy everywhere, but nite has yet been done, soldier does his best for his far as in him les, :
