A despatch from the American Army of Occupation says: More than a million and a' half of prisoners of various nationalities have been releas- ed by the Germans, according to esti- mates based upon reports received by the Third Army. 3 i Of this number approxima ly 250,000 will 'pass through' the Am-| erican lines, and will be fed by the mericans.. Most of the quarter of a million prisoners are French, Eng- lish, Italian and American soldiers, The army, assisted by the Salvation Army and the Young Mews Christian Association and the Knights of Col- umbus, is shouldering the bulk of the task, * ' The = population of the = Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. already has been doubled" by the arrival of the army of occupations The question of feeding the former prisoners is taxing the American transport facili- ties owing to the fact that the new lines of communication cross No Man's Land, and because the Ameri- cans ave getting farther each "day from the base of supplies. EPITAPH FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS "Their Name. Liveth For Ever- more" to be Engraved on Memorial. a A despatch from London saysi-- "Their name - liveth. for evermore." Phis is the phrase that will 'be en- graved upon the great memorial stone which is to be erected in each of the cemeteries of British soldiers who have. fallen in the war. It is the suggestion of Rudyard Kipling, who, in submitting the phrase to the Im- perial War Graves Commission, wrote, "It was necessary to find a word of praise and honor Which should be both simple and' well known, compre hensible, and of the seme value in all tongues, and also standing as far as might 'be outside the flux of men and to things. "After search and consultation with all ranks, and many races in our armies and navies, as well as with those who had given their sons, seemed to me that no single phrase could be better than that which closes the tribute to the famous men in Ecclesiastes: 'Their. name liveth NOW ON ITS WAY HOME A despatch from Ottawa says: At the Militia Department it 'was stated that the Second "Canadian Tank Bat- talion is now on its way home. The First Tank Battalion is not coming at present and the date of its return could' not be learned. In retu "{ tha Second Tank Battalion, the Mili- tia Department is following its policy He he real a EF. starts.

It must not be imagined, he isists, that the German atmiy, = although smaller than before, has ceased to exist. On the contrary, he repre: sents it as very much in existence, and, 'moreover, commanded by Gen- erals devoted to the Emperor's cause, The correspondent's informant did tot doubt that something in 'the| shape of a counter-revolution would | be attempted before long. He said the red flag is still freely displayed in Bremerhaven, but he heard that it. had 'almost disappeared in - the Rhine district. A despatch from Paris says: wil. liam Hohenzollern can be extradited, in the opinion of Professor Batheleny of Paris law faculty; who explains that his guiding principle is that avhen. there is an apparent. conflict between law 'and' common sense, the solution is always found in following the latter. ; RICE The theoty that A political crime is ny crime inspired: by purely politi- | 1° motives, the Professor declares, has Jong been abandon & notes that Belgium, in 186065:8 reogi- cides among common I i} President Carnot of France Humbert of Italy were inspired by political motives, he points out, and yet the authors"of them were oxe- cuted.

To maintain that they are mot, be- cause the object for which: they were committed was political, is; he argues, an absurdity. : Se pens BELGIUM HAS BEEN CLEARED ; OF ALL GERMAN TROOPS: A despatch from London says: Belgium is clear of German troops The corfespondent of the London Times, who thas followed the retreaf, | says that thére has been little des» truction in the country east of Mons.
