NO WINTER REST ON SOMME FRONT Allies' Offensive to Continue Whenever Weather at all Favorable. A despatch from Ottawa says: An explanation of the new British order prohibiting the sending of parcels di- rect to individual prisoners-of-war in Germany has been received by the Government. The new plan has been formulated by the new Central Pris- oners-of-War Committee of the Brit- ish Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England, and the British Government has ap- proved of it, to take effect December 1st. The Government here has-cabled for further information as to the ef- fect that this will have on shipments of Christmas parcels now being pre- pared in Canada. The object of the new plan is to eliminate the necessity of the British censorship by preventing the use of food parcels as a means of conveying information to the enemy, also to co- ordinate and control the supplies of food for the prisoners. The order will apply to all British prisoners, naval and military, except officers, parcels TO PRISONERS IN Explanation of the New British Order Has Been Received at Ottawa, addressed to the latter being dealt with according to an existing system. Under the new plan supplies will be sent to every prisoner, but only through one. central organization, the British Red Cross. The central com- mittee or an organization authorized by the central committee will examine and pack all parcels before sending them to the prisoners. While adequate supplies of food will be sent by au- thorized organizations out of their | own stores to. all prisoners, it will still be possible for persons to send parcels to jndividual prisoners through the authorized organizations. It is provided, however, that such parcels sent to an individual prisoner must not exceed 30 pounds gross per week, and must not contain bread, cake or tinned food, as articles are difficult to censor without spoiling. This is an outline of the scheme, full particulars of which are being forwarded by mail.

In the language of the British army, says Mr. G. A, Birmingham in the Cornhill Magazine, the building is, called "Sweet Lavender.% It is a Y.M.C.A. hut, but hardly more like the hut of civil life than it is like the flower from which it takes its name. The walls are of thin wood. The roof is corrugated iron. It contains two long, low halls. Glaring electric lights hang from the rafters. Inside the halls are gathered hundreds of soldiers.

The father of the rules of civilized warfare, which Germany has broken so ruthlessly, was Grotius, a native of Delft, who attempted to codify exist- ing customs during the Thirty Years' War. That was three hundred years ago, and his book soon became the basis of warfare, for when countries were fighting to extend their territory they | were wise to recognize the advantages of propitiating their future subjects.

Lord Rosebery's reference was pre- sumably to rumors which were cur- rent in London recently of a move- ment in favor of the consideration of proposals which, according to reports emanating from Germany, Chancel- lor von Bethmann-Holweg intended making public in the Reichstag. The German Chancellor's expected statement has been foreshadowed as an appeal to reason and humanity on the ground that prolongation of the war could not materially alter the military position and would only in- crease useless carnage. In England, according to the rumors to which Lord Rosebery there was a tendency to look only at the present results and forget primal reasons for which Great Brit- ain went to war, reasons which Lord Grey emphasized in his recent speech to the foreign press.

At half past eight, by order of the supreme authorities, Sweet Lavender hut must close its | doors. The end of the entertainment | is set to allow time for a final cup of | tea or at least a glass of milk. The | last half hour is a busy one for the ladies behind the counter in the outer | hall. Long queues of men stand wait-| ing to be served. Dripping cups and | sticky buns are passed to them with | inconceivable rapidity. The work is | done at high pressure, but with the | tea and the food the men_ receive| something else, something they pay | no penny for, something the value of | which to them is above all measuring | with pennies--the friendly smile, the | kindly word of a woman. No one will | ever know the amount of good those | women do, without praise, pay or hope | of honors. If "the actions of the just | smell sweet and blossom," surely | heavy | these deeds of love and kindness have | | a fragrance. After all, the hut is well named, "Sweet Lavender." 2 --~fo----- LD STOP EXPORT OF BREEDING CATTLE.

An Austrian regiment, anxious t0 cross the river, were held up by the ferryman because he demanded ready- money for the toll. Rather than dis- obey the code by seizing the ferry for themselves, the Austrians calmly sur- rendered to the advancing French. But France was fighting for her life, and disregarded the little niceties of the rules of warfare, and those of her enemies who stillyobserved them faithfully were taken at a disadvant- age, so by degrees the elaborate pol- iteness disappeared. But the Prussians have always act- ed on the ideas set forth by Clause- witz after Waterloo, which may be summed up in two of his sentences: "The use of force in war is absolute," and "Every idea of philanthropy in war is a most pernicious error." - .
