A despoteh from Ottawa says: Boards of medical men are to be ap- pointed in every military division of Canada in connection with the ttrant- ing ot pensions to wounded soldiers or the families of those killed on active service. Already between 300 and 350 pensions have been granted, most of them being for the families of dead soldiers. It is already apparent that the sum of $2,000,000 set aside for pensions this year will be quite in- sufficient for the purpose.

The houses of Christians, especially Greeks in the Phamr quarter, have been sacked by mobs, often with the con- nivance of the police. Christians at- tempting to flee from the capital are set upon, robbed and maltreated by the Turkish ofrieia1s and soldiers. The authorities wink " these out- rages and encourage their perpetra- tion in order to keep alive the flame of hatred of the Moslems against the Christian allies.

It is 70 miles from the coast of the Adriatic. Wife: "There are so very few really good men in the world." Hubby: "Yes; you were mighty lucky to get one." " am doing my best to get ahead," asserted Chollie. "Well, you certainly need one," assented Dollie. A daring raid by an Italian airship on a railroad station eight miles into the interior from Trieste is reported in an official announcement, which says: "An Italian dirigible passing over the enemy's entrenched camps threw high explosive bombs on' Di- vazzs railway centre. Notwithstand- ing the enemy's intense fire the dirig- ible returned undamaged." "You are a disgrace to humanity. How could I have married you?

A despatch from Rome says: Ital- ian troops have occupied Mori on the railroad from Rovereto to Arco and Riva, important towns at the head of Lake Garda. As there is only one railroad in this section the fall of Arco and Riva before the Italians in- vading the Trentino from the west- ern side is believed to be only a question of a few days. Mori is about five miles south of Rovereto, the objective of a strong Italian movement, but the road to that place is fortified to such an extent that it will be a hard task for the Italians to force the Austrian defences. Fierce fighting in the Monte Nero zone, north of Tolmina, on the Isonzo front, is reported in an official re- port from Gen. Cadorna, the chief of staff, issued by the War Department. The Alpine troops are giving a good account of themselves in this region, using mountain paths unknown to the enemy, and falling unawares on the strongly fortified Austrian trenches. Almost all of this region is now in the hands of the Italians. Ice is not considered strong enough to bear the weight of a man unless it is " least two inches thick and sound all through. Ice that is four inches thick will bear men on horseback. NEAR THE HEAD OF LAKE GABDA and the Austrians lost enormously more in proportion in prisoners than the British. To the Prussian lists of killed must be added rather less than one-fifth for non-Prussian lists of the German Empire and further 80 per cent. for Austria and Hungary. Multiplying these by six, Mr. Belloc arrives at 3,250,000 enemy casualties before the great Galician effort. This, according to his estimate, cannot count for less than half a million; this makes a grand total of three and three-quarter millions perman- ently out of the tuld.

There were a few spectators on the grounds and some of the men connected with the aerial corps. The machine glid- ed from earth, but there was no hint of anything wrong, and the young lieutenant and his American passen- ger had soon become but a speck in the sky.

"How, James'?" “Wool, sir, I got a letter frae a Glesca la_wyer body this The exact cause of the accident is unknown, and will remain so, as the aeroplane and its engine are a mass of tangled wreckage. But the cause may be found in part, at least, by the fact that Lieut. Warneford remarked before leaving the Hotel Ritz for the testing ground that he felt sick and dizzy, and would not fly, although he had been asked to experiment with some new machines. By the time he reached the avia- tion grounds, however, he had re- covered his usual buoyancy of health, and immediately set about to ascend in one of the aeroplanes to be tested. He took the machine up alone, put it through some of the customary manoeuvres and alighted without mishap. _ _ Lieut. Warneford, Who Recently De strayed a Zeppelin, Killed in Paris. Henry B.

In hotels and clubs they have almost en- tirely filled the vacancies caused by men enlisting. All this goes to show that every class of society is now giving itself up to the war and no- thing else.

This recruiting stimulus is charac- teristic of the change which has come over the nation. Practically all the engineering works throughout Britain are now devoting themselves in one way or another to making munitions. Retired engineers and men with engineering knowledge, many of them amateurs, are giving up their whole time to working in these factories without pay to in- crease the output.

It strongly urged them to raise as much stock as possible during the war, and gives the following advice: - Do not send breeding and immature stock to the butcher simply because prices are attractive now. “hut it eekainry is edgier than science or mathematics," the principal insisted. "'Donot reduce your stock; when you cannot buy for', buy calves. . Maintain yodr flocks and breed your sows; it wilt. pay wp to fie so_. The board adds that the above re- commendations are made not only in the national welfare, but because it believes them to be for the ultimate benefit of British agriculturists.
