A letter from Capetown, South Africa, says: Two dogs and a baboon had a frightful battle at the Rietkuil farm in the Vitenhage district, and the "old man" would undoubtedly have finished off both his antagonists had not humans interfered. Natives see- ‘ing a troop of baboons walking up a small hill set out after them with the two dogs, which intercepted and drove one of the baboons towards a farm house. The baboon made for a tank at the corner of the house. The dogs vainly tried to get at it from one side, and the baboon jumped down the other side and made for a small wood, where seating itself be- hind a bush, it calmly awaited the oncoming enemy. But One in Africa Fought Two Dogs “Manfully” The foremost dog had no sooner reached the bush than the baboon made a grab for it and with one bite bits its head off. The second dog a native’s gun killed the baboon. A curious part of the affair is the way the local newspapers’ treat it. Ap- parently no sympathy is conceived for thehaboon, although these animals are inoffens‘ve harmless animals unless attacked. They go about in troops, the old valiantly defending the young. When in trouble they moan and cry like children and their conduct is often remarkably human. igunced on the baboon, but before ong its side was ripped open.

London, Eng. After the boy's tonsils had been removed he stepped breathing. Other means fail- ing to restore respiration, which had ceased for twelve minutes’ an incision was made to enable the surgeon to massage the heart. After about twenty squeezes the heart was suddenly felt to be beating and reSpiration was re- established, though at first the pulse was not perceptible, and the boy’s con- dition remained extremely feeble. He was unconscious for two days. Only by unremitting care was he brought round gradually to perfect health. The medical statement on the case concludes: “There have been several successful cases recorded of heart masage. but this case is perhaps unique. in that recovery took place after so long a time of cessation of the circulation. It can be imagined that it is extremely difficult to estimate time in emergencies, but it is certain that the heart had stopped at least thirteen minutes. and the impression of those present was that this figure should be between fifteen and twenty minutes.” “V-“ Ivvâ€"w new . . , Lord Hampden were well over sweat: when they died, and Lord Peel lived h eighty-three.

His promotion from the rank of Major came through from Head- quarteis early last week. His new rank is quite in keeping with the capabilities of the Commanding Officer of the 248th Greys.

J b'. wnlte OI me 248le Greys were comrandes in France, first with the 29th Battalion and later in a brigade machine gun company. The experience of these re- turned, Officers is going to be invalu- able in the training of the 248th Greys. That the 248th Greys will produce a good hockey team is now evident. The line-up includes Lient. Kelley. Ptes. Mercer and Staples of Markdale and Sgt. V. Findly, Ptes. iiidgeway. Mc- Arthur, Sehwan and Denny Breen of Owen Sound. The team is down to practice and is looking for games from teams from outside points. There was a meeting of the Officers ' of the 248th Greys at Owen Sound on Wednesday of last week. Recruiting was the chief topic under discussion. and arrangements were made for further improving and extending the Battalion’s recruiting efforts through- out the county. Encouraging reports were heard from the Officers in charge the various recruiting offices. The 1.000 League came in for special praise on account of the way it has "Caught” everywhere. The Officers present were Lieut. Col. Rorke, Oapts. Kelson. Whit-e, Dallyn Allen and Lieut. Pfeffer. Price, Marshall and Yule. Owen Sound: Capt. McKechnie. Thornbury; Lieut. Kelley. Durham; Lieut. Norman, Hanover; and Lieut. Thomson, Shallow Lake. The public meeting at Hanover on Friday last in the interests of the 248th Greys was a great. success. Lieut. Col. \Villiams of Toronto was unable to be present. but he sent Capt. Noble in’ his place who delivered a stirring address. Lieut. Col. Rorke was also present and inspired the audience by his enthusiasm for the cause and his encouraging remarks concerning the success of the 1.000 League in recruit- ing the Battalion. Other speakers were Mr. John McQuaker of Owen Sound. Judge Sutherland W. H. Smith and Mr. Wilson acted as chair- man. while local talent supplied a most enjoyable musical programme. Monday oflast week was the big gost day yet at the 248th Headquart- ers :LL Owen Sound. Twenty one men were recruited and sworn into the Battalion. The 1,000 Le :gue has the enthusias tic endorsement of Sir Herbert Ames. President of the Can. Patriotic Fund, who visited the County last week. He says that, ”The 1,000 League is absolutely the best recruiting scheme or which I have yet heard. It satisfies all the demands of a perfect recruit- ing medium, in that it enlists the per- scnal and individual efforts of every person who has a personal interest in the war. It places the responsihility on the Citizens who cannot go to the front themselves and ensures their enthusiastic support, operating not only to incite them to the effort necessary to procure one recruit. but to secure as many recruits as possible.” Sir Herbert said further that, he was convinced the scheme would be tried with success in many other places and would probably become general throughout the Dominion. Asked as to probable effectiveness of the 1,000 League. if generally adopted, towards averting 00nscripL- ion he said that subh would be the certain result if given Wide and full exmugh trial. 248th Battalion, Notes The vast amount of work under- taken by the Canadian Patriotic Fund for the relief and assistance of soldiers dependents will probably never be fully appreciated. In most cases this work is carried on by voluntary effort and as the organization extends into almost every town and hamlet in the Dominion but few deserving cases“ can be overlooked In the Department of Insurance for instance the Montreal branch last month saved for twenty-two families policies which would otherwise have lapsed and been 1 lost to the beneficiaries. These pol» cies represented insurance to the val- ue of about $30000, the annual prem- iums being over $800. In all this branch is looking after insurance rep- resenting not less than $60,000. In other words. through carelessness or ? fancied inability to pay premiums,thls amount of protection to soldiers’ . dep- endents would have been .lost if the organization had not financnally assas- ted in keeping the policies alive. In addition to what the organization is directly financing the total amount of insurance saved to dependents with within two years by the committee s advice and counsel is in excess of RPM, WU. ‘The experiences of the committee in these matters is a revelation in human nature. one woman preferred to buy new skirt rather than renew a policy ‘ on the life of her husband who was battling in a Flander‘s trench. an- other woman, whose husband’s daily. facing German bullets. would have allowed her policy to lapse rather than take the amount of the premiums out of the savings bank. An other ins- ltance worth recording is unfortunate- ly typical. The' women had an idea that insurance was allright for the rich out that in her straioened circumo , stances she should not be expected to a make any sacrifice to maintain her husband’s insurance in this case am- ounting to $1,000.
