C w8 ONE KILLED AND FOUR WOUNDED and four others, also said to be Gerâ€" rumor was abroad during the day that the shooting occurred when a squad of German prisoners attempted FRENCH UNEMPLOYED ABOUT 10 PER CENT. 1,097,000 employes in ordinary times, it was found that 65 per cent. were fully employed in the month of April. The remaining 35 per cent. does not represent the actual unemployment because 24 per cent. of the total numâ€" ber prior to the war is now with the ecolors; so that actually only 11 per ecent., including both sexes, were unâ€" employed during April, as compared with 17 per cent. in January, 32 per eent. in October and 42 per cent. in August. A despatch from London says: The question of whether there exists any scientific method of detecting the preâ€" sence of a submerged submarine, which was raised during the Lusitania enquiry, is now engaging the attenâ€" tion of the Admiralty. Certain valuâ€" able suggestions have been made by a prominent Canadian to Mr. Donald MacMaster, K.C., who representd the Dominion Government at the enquiry, and Mr. MacMaster has submitted these to the Admiralty and to Lord Mersey, and the latter has promised to give every encouragement to any experiments in the direction of setâ€" tling the question.

A despatch from London says: Now that the agitation for munitions is at its height, England is going to take a stock of her resources. A bill providing for "the register of nationâ€" al resources" is to be introduced in the House of Commons by Walter Hume Long, president of the Local Government Board, according to anâ€" nouncement made by William Hayes Fisher, Unionist member for Fulham. Just what will be the scope of the inâ€" ventory, and whether it will include men as well as supplies, has not been made known. A despatch from London says: Tho‘ hope that Germany will take steps to safeguard neutral shipping from subâ€" marine attacks was expressed by the Norwegian â€" Foreign â€" Minister, M. Thlen, at the opening of the Storthâ€" Ing, says a Reuter despatch from Christiania. Discussing the tor])edo-I ing of the Norwegian steamships Belridge and Sveinjarl, Thien declared:" "Whatever differences of opinion may ' exist regarding rights under intema-‘ tional law, it is my hope that thel German Government, having learned | through experience how easily misâ€" | takes are made, will give commanders ' of German warships such instructions | as will make neutral shipping safe." | NORWAY IS WORRIED BY PIRATE WARFARE A despatch from London says: F. Robert Muller, who on June 4 was found guilty at the Old Bailey Police Court of being a German spy, was executed in the Tower of London on Wednesday by shooting. Another alleged German spy, Robâ€" ert Rosenthal, who is said by the police to have confessed that he was sent to England by the German Adâ€" miralty to obtain information on naâ€" val matters, is to be courtâ€"martialed. CGERMAXN spy is swor IN TOWER OF LONDON An Increase of Forty Per Cent. Over Last Year. A despatch from Ottawa says: A eable from the International Institute of Agriculture gives the 1915 forecast of the winter wheat crop for Euroâ€" pean Russia at 301,000,000 bushels; winter rye, 941,000,000 bushels, being for wheat an increase of 40 per cent. and for rye nearly 20 per cent., as eompared with the production of the last year. PRISONERS IN BRITAIN WILL HARYEST CROPS. A despatch from London says: The Goyernment has decided to allow gqners of war to help in the harâ€" of crops near places, where under detention, The outâ€" r Will be performed only unâ€" specified conditions, & POPE IS HORRIFIED BIG RUSSIAN CROP. BY WAR ATROCITIES. | Feeling is to strong, that anyone with a German name is viewed with ;suspicion. A distinguished English woman archaeologist, whose family has been resident over 30 years, can !cbtain work nowhere because she has ‘a German name. The Friends Emerâ€" lgcncy Committee for the assistance |of Germans, Austrians, and Hungarâ€" ians in Distress has dealt with over 3,000 cases, trying to find work, genâ€" erally unavailingly, for German woâ€" men and men and to relieve necessiâ€" tous cases. Other societies also are helping, including the Y.W.C.A., the ‘Friends of Foreigners‘in Distress, and | the German Benevolent Society. Li uo "While the prisoners of war in the detention camp were being condueted. to the compound for physical exerâ€" cise, one of them, Fritz Clause, asâ€" saulted one of the internment police, knocking him insensible. The camp police with the guard was called out to quell the mutiry and in the meanâ€" time the originator of the trouble was shot dead, and four of the other prisoners were seriously wounded." Work is made absolutely impossible for them with one curious exceptionâ€" the German cook, whose position has fluctuated since war broke out. In th» largest of the servants‘ agencies it was stated that German servants had been dismissed almost everywhere, and that the German cook was rare in English families. In one of the Gerâ€" man women‘s associations, on the conâ€" trary, it was said that though Gerâ€" man servants were dismissed at the beginning of the war, many applicaâ€" tions were afterwards received from Englishwomen, overwhelmed by the servant difficulty, for German cooks, and these women, unless they have been dismissed as a result of the preâ€" sent,outcry, are perhaps the only Gerâ€" man womén in British employment. Wives of Interned Aliens in Britain Cannot Get Work. The question of the internment of German women is under consideraâ€" ated or have gone with Home Office permitsâ€"obtained with great diffiâ€" cultyâ€"to the United States. Many have definitely refused repatriation, having left home through some family quarrel and lived here for many years. When war broke out there was a large number of German â€" womenâ€"clerks, typists, commercial travellers, stuâ€" dents, and tourists in London, but these with few exceptions have been repatriated. The women who are here now are mainly the British or German wives of German men who have been interned or middleâ€"aged and elderly German women who have lived here so long that they have lost touch with their own country. Their sympathies are, however, German, and they make no attempt to conceal the fact, though German women of the better classes avoid all allusion to the war when in the company of English people. tion. Meanwhile the German women in London regard the idea with horror. They are asking where will room be found for themâ€"they number many thousandsâ€"if the housing problem has proved a difficulty in the case of their interned husbands. Nearly all the single women have been repatriâ€" There has been a considerable amount of suffering among German women and British women married to Germans since the war. Only 1 per cont. of the German men at large are in employment, and there is much poverty. The German Government through _ American _ intermediaries make an allowance, paid through the German Benevolent SSociety, of 108. a week and 3s. a week for each child to the wives of interned Germans, while the English Government make a grant, paid through the relieving offiâ€" cer, of 8s. outside the London radius and 10s. inside, and 1s. 6d. for each child to the English wives of interned Germans. Where 6s. or more a week has to be paid for rent and the chilâ€" dren require much milk, the allowance does not go far. The mental distress of those who have male relatives fightâ€" ing in Germany, and who have been badly frightened by the recent antiâ€" German riots is very great. A comparatively young industryâ€" the conversion of eggs into the frozen and desiccated productâ€"should beâ€" come a great stimulus to the egg inâ€" dustry of this country. In fact, it seems destined to have a great future. The desiccated product not only furâ€" nishes an excellent and highly nutriâ€" tious substitute for fresh eggs, in compact form, to campers, explorers, sailors and soldiers, but there is an increasing demand for it for generat culinary purposes, and wherever eggs are used in large quantities, as, for instance, in bakeries and restaurants. The product, as it appears in the market, is chiefly in the form of goldâ€" en yellow flakes, which are made ready for use by simply dissolving them in water. The cold storage of eggs only retards, but does not preâ€" vent deterioration. With the modern method <of freezing and desiccating eggs, on the other hand, it is possible to obtain a product that retains for a long time the qualities of fresh eggs. GERMAN WOMEN SUFFERING. A despatch from Montreal says: German submarines ‘within firing distance of unarmed merchant vesâ€" sels, and actually firing, can still be foiled by superior seamanship and steadfast courage. This was amply demonstrated by the experience of the Teespool, a vessel which has just come into Montreal from Barry, England. When the shells began falling around the vessel, Capt. I. Olsen placed his vessel beam to the waves, so that if the submarine folâ€" lowcd him it would roll heavily and disconcert the gunner‘s aim. This was successful, and the vessel, by reason of his wellâ€"thoughtâ€"out plan and clever manoeuvring, arrived safeâ€" ly in port.> .. â€" .« , Took Advantage of Waves. Enter the Dried Egg.

TORONTO SOLDIERS TAKE SACRANMENT BEFORE GOING OUT TO THE Drank Christ‘s Blood in Symbol and Then Marched to Grip the Hand of Death. . "We‘re going off to the front toâ€" night, sir, and we thought we‘d like to ‘have ‘the sacrament before we go. Can you give it to us?" ‘The question was put by some soldiers of the Black Watch to that poetâ€"preacher and Highland mystic, Lachlan MacLean ‘Watt, and in the Edinburgh Scotsâ€" man he describes what followed. It took place somewhere in Flanders, "a table cloth borrowed from the officers‘ "A notice on the door that the place was closed for ordinary use unâ€" til the communion service was over did not keep us free from interruption for the room was the ordinary one for the soldiers‘ ‘sing song,‘ and the men would come and beat upon the doors and clamor for admission, not reading notices nor at first underâ€" standing. mess IT a little wine from the same source helped out the preparations." We read: "There was a very special reason why I welcomed the experience. For, some years ago in my parish, I realizâ€" ed how many, laid aside by sickness or old age, were unable to share in that service which is so precious to our Scottish folk. And I used to go on each communion Sunday into the little homes in the lanes or away across the moors to some quiet bothie carrying the sacred symbols of divine brotherhood, and so linking on the lonely to the side community, setting the solitary in the families. And the girls‘ class of St. Stephen‘s had heard of it, and given me a chaste little set of communion vessels for the purâ€" pose. And now these were to receive a very deep consecration. They were to be brought into living touch with the sacrifice of the bravest of our imperial manhood, in this the greatâ€" est conflict of opposing ideals which the world has ever seen. Crooning Psalm Melodies. The men began to gather, and sat down there as reverently as though the dim, little, drafty hut were the chancel of some great cathedral, holy with the deepest memories of Chrisâ€" tian generations. ‘You might wait,‘ whispered one. ‘The Camerons and Seaforths may be able to come.‘ So we waitedâ€"a hushed and solemn waiting. Then quietly some of them began to croon old psalim memories and quiet hymns, waiting. And at length the others came, stepping softâ€" ly into the place, and with them comâ€" rades who explained that, though they were of a different country and a difâ€" ferent church belief, they yet desired to share in the act of worship, preâ€" paratory to celebration. . At length about one hundred and twenty men were there and we began. "It was the twentyâ€"third psalm, the: psalm of God‘s shepherding, the comâ€". radeship of the Divine in the Valley of the Shadow, the faith and the hope of the brave. What a power was in itâ€"what a spell of wonder, of comâ€" forting, and uplifting in this land of war! They sang it very tenderly, for it spoke to them of times when they had held their mother‘s hands and looked up wondering in their faces, in the church at home, wondering why tears were there as the dear old hearts remembered. Some of them, alsoâ€"the tears were on their cheeks as they sang that old psalm, very precious in the homeland, very preâ€" cious here; and it is a soulâ€"shaking thing to see a strong man‘s tears. It was surely thus our father‘s sang, in quiet places and by foreign streams, when to be true to the faith commitâ€" ted to them meant outcasting, exile, and death. It means a big thing still, toâ€"day, for our Empireâ€"this heartâ€"deep singing of our soldier men. I have never dreamed that I should see such depth of feeling for eternal things. Do not tell me this is Armageddon. It is not the end of things. It is Resurrection and Penteâ€" cost we are passing through. A harâ€" vest is being sown in France of which the reaping shall be Empireâ€"wide. There will be angels at the ingatherâ€" ing. It only needed the simplest words to seal that sacrament. And next morning, in the grey light, the men who had been touched by the thought of home and the dear ones there, and the big throbbing thought of consecration were marching off to grip the very hand of death, in sacriâ€" fice, like Christ‘s, for others." The scene was repeated with a difâ€" ference at another spot, where in a big marquee the members of the Y.M.C.A. had been selling tea and coffee. "We are going off toâ€"morrow," said a fine lad from Cheshire. "Give us communion that we may rememâ€" ber when we go that high ideals call us." "It was a difficult thing just for a moment, to decide whether in that tent where men were noisily eating and drinking at the counter it should be held, or in some place apart. Inâ€" stinctively I said: ‘Yes. Here‘ So a fude communion table was made of boxes heaped together as our fathers would heap stones together in the moors. Covered with a white linen cloth, we laid upon that table the little chalice of silver, with the flagon of red wine, and the bread upon its platter, expecting eight men to parâ€" take. But the tent filled and hushed, and filled to overflowing; and even outside men stood and peered in through the seams. And we began, as ever, with the psaim of consecratâ€" ed memory. Again and again, and again, the chalice and platter came back for replenishing. Men raised their drooping heads and stretched out their hands for the sacred symâ€" bois. Away up in the trenches, and about the region of La Bassee, red blood, as red as Christ‘s, was enrichâ€" ing the soil of France; and the hearts that were beating here might soon be still, in the long graves yonder. A breath of mystery seemed to sway them in that tent, and still that quiet urgency for more came up, until over three hundred men whose faces toâ€" To Die As Did Christ. d morrow would be set toward the batâ€" tle, had partaken of the sacrament of sacrifice that linked us to God and our homes across the sea. % "Talk of your churches, your se*ts, your quarrelsome . divisions! When men are face to face with the eternal, as we are out here, these things are as forgotten as the dust that blew last year over the remotest sand heap into the Atlantic. Brotherhood in the divine uplifting of a great imâ€" perial call, and the love of a uniting Christship, bind, as with a golden girdle, all our hopes, our faiths, and fears, and link them to the Highest." " RISE 1,000 FEET A MINUTE. Expert Explains How Zeppelin Airâ€" ships Escape. Although it has been officially anâ€" nounced that the Zeppelin which dropped bombs on Ramsgate and three or four adjacent English south coast towns was attacked and damâ€" aged by British aeroplanes, it seems fairly certain that the airship was not destroyed and managed to reach its shed near Brussels in safety. The fact that smoke was seen issuing from it is explained by aviation exâ€" damage. The smoke probably was caused by displacement of oil in the enâ€" engines to run back to the rear cylinâ€" ship was presumably suddenly forced upward at a steep angle, thus causâ€" ing the oil in the crank cases of the engines to run back to th erear cylinâ€" ders so that they spouted thick oil smoke from the exhaust pipes. The same thing has frequently been noâ€" ticed when a German aeroplane has dived vertically to avoid attack by English aeroplanes, only in this case the oil runs forward and floods the forward cylinders. It is now recognized that when a Zeppelin which is going full speed. ahead wants to rise rapidly to avoid attack the pilot simply throws the stern of the machine down by means of the elevator planes, or vertical steering rudders, so that the nose goes up and the momentum of the vast mass plunging through the air produces such pressure underneath it that it shoots up like a rocket and for the first thousand feet or so will actually rise much faster than any aeroplane yet built. A Zeppelin in this way can rise: 1,000 feet in a little over a minute,| declares Dr. C. G. Grey, a well‘ known British expert. An aeroplane is doing very well to climb 300 feet | a minute. Of course, when the moâ€". mentum of the Zeppelin is exhausted it cannot continue f: climb and the| reroplane will soon get the upper position if it continues the chase. Various accounts of actions with Zeppelins have assumed that an airâ€". ship which has been fired upon has. been damaged because it is seen toi be very much "down" or "up" by’ the nose, but this, as now shown, is not necessarily the case, but more, probably is due to the fact that the | airship if â€"suddenly attacked will; rise suddenly by the use of this manâ€"| oeuvre. In other cases the clever airâ€"| ship pilot by the use of this device, for a sudden drop or rise is able to get his machine quickly behind the| shelter of a bank of cloud or mist, in | which he frequently can conceal himâ€"| self for an indefinite period. * | We get used to certain names or terms, and, not unnaturally, think that, in cases where they are descripâ€" tive, they hold truth. Not always. For example, "sealingâ€"wax" conâ€" tains no wax. We wouldn‘t say "German silver" now at any price. Well, first of all, "German silver" isn‘t silver, nor is it of German origin. It has been used in China for centuries. If we wished to.partake of a real Irish stew we should naturally go to Ireland. It is stated, too, that "Turkâ€" ish baths," despite the sign of the Crescent, are unknown to the Turks. The same comment can be passed on another "Turkish commodityâ€" viz., "Turkey rhubarb." It is a Rusâ€" sian monopoly. is There is no reason why one should not buy a Dutch clock, except thisâ€" that they are of German manufacâ€" ture. It is useless to kill cats to get "catâ€"gut." Catâ€"gut is "sheep" gut. When you roll your own cigarette, and use the hest "rice" paper, you can remember that it isn‘t made from rice or the rice plant. "Kid" gloves are capable of a punning illustration, for they are not made from "kid" but of lamb or sheep skin. . The foregoing are but samples, for the list is endless.

Ostertag, the German military atâ€" tache at The Hague, and formerly at« tache at London, whose sudden deâ€" parture from the Dutch capital .A fow days ago occasioned surprise in diplomatic circles, was practically reâ€" quested to leave by the Netherlands Government. "Col. Ostertag," the correspondent says, "nominally attache here since early in the war, is said to be in realâ€" ity one of the most efficient and use+ ful leaders of the German intelligence department, and is said to have kept an active watch on all lines of comâ€" munication between Holland and Engâ€" land, and between Holland and America. He latterly has become much interested in Dutch military operations, and in the disposition of the Dutch troops on the Belgian frontâ€" ier. His efforts to obtain information and the methods he has pursued, it is stated, finally attracted the attenâ€" tion of the Dutch Government, which intimated its strong disapproval to the German Foreign Office. "Col, Ostertag left on 24 hours‘ noâ€" tice, and is now at Ghent. Soon after his arrival there, nine civilians were summarily courtmartialed and shot on a charge of transmitting military information to the frontier." y Buttons on Sleeves, the Frock Coat, and Other Styles. The fashion of adorning the sleeves of our coats with buttons originated, it is said, with the French army. The French soldiers were in the habit of wiping their mouths with their sleeves, and the buttons were put on to prevent them from doing so. Toâ€" day, of course, the real reason for the presence of these buttons is forgotâ€" ten, and they are considered ornaâ€" ments, civilians as well as soldiers decorating their sleeves with thm.
