There are many husky Germans and Austrians in Canada to-day who are mighty glad that war came. Work is none too plentiful in Can- ada this winter and what there is is hard workâ€"railway construction, snow shovelling and all that. In the big Canadian cities there are long bread lines, and the charities organ- izations are overtaxed. Through all this the alien enemy is getting three square meals a day. warm clothes and living quarter! and it doesn’t cost him a cent. A-- American Consul Bradley of Mont. real, who, as the neutral representa- tive there, handles the mail from the1 prisoners at the internment camps. says that he has not only seen no complaints, but that many of the let ters are written to friends in Monte real urging them to enlist in the army of prisoners and join them in one of the several camps. This applies particularly to AuSo trians. The comparatively few Gerd mans who are included are inclined to be more sullen of disposition and at times resentful or the confinement, though even from these there has been no word of complaint about the treatment. The Germans and Austrians, soon after the alien enemies’ regulations were put in force, were all kept at Kingston, but after a while trouble developed which culminated in a fight. TIOn the internment depart- ment decided to separate th prison‘ ers, sending the Austrians to Petewao \rfiu' wv__--â€"c -â€"- wa, where they were engaged in brush cutting and road making until the snow came. vuv nan-v v- _“ Later the Government established a camp in the Abitibi district known as Spirit Lake camp, exclusively for Austrians, and at the present time there are about 300 Austrians at work there clearing the ground, erecting huts and stores and laying out what will be a miniature town. s At the outset of hostilities the alien enemies feared that internment meant real imprisonment, and to avoid this they declared to the regis- trar that they had work and were able to support themselves and their families during the winter. and they were accordingly placed on parole.‘ But after a few weeks their resources ‘ came to an end, they lost their work and could not get employment. I A petition was drawn up by the lead-! ers among the Austrians in Montreal} in which expression was given to the ; desire of the Austrians to go to thef Spirit Lake internment camp and'; work under the supervision of the: guards. This petition was circulated [ among the Austrians and within a week, 1,300 Austrian workingmen voluntarily signed the petition. ! A- V vfluâ€"vw- -â€" Two things have contributed tq this desire among the Austrians to get awayâ€"-the fact that the Govern- ment supplies them with sheepskin coats, thick winter underwear, lum- bermen’s socks, overshoes and haver-o sacks for their belongings, feeds them regularly and pays them 25 cents a day for their labor in addiâ€" tion to housing them. -- ‘AL ‘5 vv â€"vâ€"-â€".â€" The guards have no trouble with them and the registrar of alien en- emies for Montreal is receiving rea quests every day from batches of Austrians to be sent away, and they are being complied with as quickly as possible. - Some interesting and authentic Sidelights on the war in France are given in a letter from Mr. Paul Rochat of Toronto. at present in the 113th Regiment of French Infantry. Mr. Rochat writes from a hospital in Dijon. where he hrs been lying wounded for the last three months. , LA u'ofi:f(\fi “fn “In a village." he writes, “to which the regiment had retired for a few days’ rest, the doctors and sev- eral officers, about twenty in num- ber, looking for a house to rest in, met a kindly priest. He said to them: ‘I have a fine house for you to rest in. Come with me. I shall give you a good dinner, my children, and to-morrow morning I shall say Mass for you and bless you.’ SL‘. “They accepted his invitation with delight, and soon were ready to sit down in front of a good dinner. The priest disappeared, and ten minutes later a shell burst over the house. They hurried out, just in time to escape destruction before a second shell destroyed the house. They looked for the priest, but he was not to be found.

Countess Zeppelin a Canadian. A fact not generally known is that Countess Zeppelin, wife of the inven- tor of the German aircraft, is a Cana- dian girl. Countess Zeppelin was the daughter of the late W. H. Mesgar- vey, formerly of Petrolea, who died recently in Austria, where he had be« come one of the leading oil magnate: of the country. She was born in the village of Wyoming, Lambton Coun- ty, in 1875, going to Europe with her father at an early age. - _ s - . INTER X)! EXT POPULAR. German Spy as Priest. none other War Has Given Rise to a New and Serious Nuisance. 1 I One bar-product of the war in Can- I ada is the patriotic song nuisance. The newspapers are pestered with ' him. He is anxious to entertain the soldiers at their driiling grounds. He ‘ haunts the theatresâ€"particularly of the “movie” and burlesque varieties -â€"with the object of getting the man- 3 agement to- allow him to sing during: intermissions or between picturesâ€"so ardent is his patriotism or, it not that, ' his desire for a free “ad.” This nuis- I ance on two legs, with the song that . he or she hawks around, is of both sexes, of all ages, and of many types. ! Quite the commonest type, however,‘ is that of the lady-like young gentle-: man, the dainty, blond. mamma's boy, ‘ who called on the manager of a To-i ronto theatre the other day, with the request that, for the sake of patriot- ‘ ism, he should be allowed to chirp there for his country's good and thereby “aid enlistment.” The man- ager had seen other specimens 0: the same kind, however. In fact. like a good many other man- agers, he had come to the conclusion that this type is not exactly cut out for the sounding of bugle calls, and that these “patriots” are out after the dollars and cents and little else. - . a reference to the “neutral” attitude [ of the United States being considered .perhaps the most delicate ironical touch. But though there are excep- t tions, the great majority of these pa- ,triotic songs have the most inane ,words and the most commonplace }music, however unexceptional the. g sentiments. And, as regards both i words and music, there is plagiarism ': aplenty. In fact, in general terms it {might be said, in the majority or 3 cases, of both, that what is good in them is not new. and that what is new in them is not good. “These geniuses,” he said, “in- variably say that their patriotic song is a ‘riot.’ and makes ‘Tipper- ary' look like an amateur. But their real aim is to advertise their pro- duct under the pretence that they are acting for the suite of their country." But all the songs are not hopeless, though the great majority or them are. “We’re From Canada." has un- doubtedly caught the popular fancy. In fact, recently it was sung on the same day at no fewer than seven thea- tres and places of amusement in the city, while it has been adopted as the “march past" of the lOch, Toronto Regiment. From three to tive patriotic. songs are received daily at the one theatre. Many of these are from soldiers at Exhibition Park. The soldiers usual- ly send the words. but not the music. And they are great as parodists, some of their parodies being really clever. Splendid work is being done by‘ the Canadian nurses who have ar-j 5 rived at the front in France. “The Canadian nurses in their khaki cos- tumes, with knickerbookers and broad-brimmed hats, look very smart indeed,” says a correspondent of the ‘ Rotterdam Nieuwe Courant. “In ' the field they are everywhere. They know no danger. And with wonder- " ful quickness they'manage to get the wounded behind the firing line and 1 out of danger. Several of them be- long to the best families. There is ' not the slightest coquetry about ‘ their clothing, and sometimes their ; delicate faces stand in graceful con- ; trast to their sand-colored attire. 5 They speak French slowly, with : rather a heavy accent. The weather is becoming more settled,’ and con- ‘sequently the roads are improving, so that the action is expected to as~ ‘ sume greater dimensions, the more so as half a million of British have i arrived. We only get a small part of them here; the French front will get the lion’s share. This is not the last E British contingent.” Some of the songs that are sent in to the various theatres are excruci- atingly, if quite unintentionally. fun- ny. Many of them have made the in- teresting discovery that "brave" rhymes with “grave." and perhaps seven out of ten of them are deter- mined not to conceal the fact from a (perhaps) listening world. Others are concluded in terms of fine irony. Col, 8. J. A. Denison, who will command the Fourth Infantry Bri- gade in the second Canadian over- seas contingent, is one at the best known military men in Canada. Col. Denison was born in Toronto 56 years ago and was educated at Upper Canada College and Royal Military College, Kingston. After- wards he served in the Fourth Bat- talion, South Staflordshlre Regiment. and was aide-de-camp‘ to the Earl of Aberdeen ‘whe: he was Governor- General of Canada. He was aide-de- camp to Field Marshal Lord Roberts in the South African campaign and was twice mentioned in deSpatches. He also received a medal with four clasps and was made C.M.G. and hrevet lieutenant-colonel. Exports Increased Three Millions. Canadian exports during January totaled $28,595,000, as against $25,- 218,000 in January, 1914. Exports of animal product increased from $3,- 151,000 to $5,661,000 and exports of manufactures increased from $5,050,- 000 to $7,769,000. Imports amount- ed to $30,000,000, as compared with $40,000,000 in January, 1914. Genius in the great majority of cases is but a very small seed, and it is only by unceasing toil and by tak- ing an i‘nfinitude of pains that it can be persuaded to grow and bring forth fruit. .A_-_.

It seemed strange and sad _ that he would be seen no more amongst them; it was a personal loss, a public calamity. The atmosphere of event has always clung to him; he was patriarch and lawgiver in Fort Qu’Appelle. Snow veiled the hills and the val- } ley, the lakes to east and west were frozen solid, yet exquisite, English- looking, fragrant flowers were upon: ,the coffin, as though to voice the story of the march of events between I the day on which Archibald Macdon- ald came to Fort Qu’Appelle, a lone- ly spot in a lonely land. and the day they carried him away from his pleas- ant home, which marks the spot where Gen. Middleton set out in vic- torious pursuit of Louis Riel, last of ‘the rebels. Across the -'valley the l church bell tolled forth the story of .‘passing time-school children lined 1 . the way of the long white road which lstretches like a Roman street from ' hill to bill across the valley. In the I little church the village pastor utter- ed the thoughts of all who had gath- : ered together to pay their last tri- a ‘ bute in words of affection and admir- al ation for a life which, cast for diffi- cult times in a hard country, had proved each day well spent.

The‘death of Archibald Macdonald. last of the representatives of the Hudscn Bay Co. to bear the distin- guished title of Chief Factor. is keen- ly felt in the little town of Fort Qu' Appelle, yvhere he lived as chief citi- zen for over forty years, says G. Bin.- nie-Clark in The Canadian Gazette. Archibald Macdonald was a man of unusual sincerity of mind, simplicity of manner and most attractive per- sonality. He habitually enjoyed the luxury of speaking his mind, and this he could do without offence, probably because he was entirely free from the taint of self-consciousness and egot- ism which so frequently mars the in- terest and attraction of successful persons. To the interested listener he loved to talk of men and events in the his- tory of the Northwest, but he was al- most pathetically interested in new happenings â€" eagerly, vividly alive. Through the burden of years, physi- cal frailty and increasing deafness, in him the gallant spirit of youth glow- ed to the last. 01 late years the his- tory of the development of Canada reads like a series of extraordinary events floating by at racing pace from the past into the future, inspired or controlled by men of talent, and not rarely of geniusâ€"men who in life and in death appear high above the level of. the crowd, hoist on the pede- stal of their achievementâ€"command- ing attention. The last of the “Chief Factors” is not to be found in this company, yet, should his biography come to be writ- ten from his personal notes and rem- iniscences, one feels that within the lines of the story of his life the his- tory of the development of Western Canada will appear as in a very clear mir.ror A Western Canadian reservation Indian was disconsolate over the breaking of. his axe-handle. He laid his misfortune before the “farmer” of the reservation, who, through pity, took a new handle from his private stock and adjusted it to the axe. The “farmer" then noticed that the axe was shockingly dull; so, motioning the owner to turn the grindstone, he expended a half hour’s time in sharpening the blade. When the re- habilitated axe was given to the In- dian, he was childishly gleeful, but still lingered about, indicating by his action that some feature of the trans- action had not been adjusted. The “farmer" was a little annoyed, and called to an interpreter. After an exchange of grunts and gestures, the interpreter announced. “He wants twenty-five cents.” “Twenty-five cents! What for?” “For turning the grindstone." “Ask the old fellow what he wants now," he directed. Dr. Tingle, Professor of Chemistry at McMaster University, is noted, among other things, for a very quick wit 0! a decidedly caustic ~vein. Not long ago while lecturing to a class of freshmen he referred to the forma- tion oi bail, and mentioned particu- larly the varying size of the stones, “The number of times they pass through’these different strata of the atmosphere," he said, “determines the sizetof the stone, which may be that of a pea, a thumb-nail, a hand, or even as large as a man’s head.” Here a big green fellow at the back let out an incredulous "Haw! Haw!” “Depending, of course.” continued the professor without a pause, “On the size of the gentleman’s head. ” The Operator of the Spanish pris- oner swindle has lately changed his methods. .
