Unfavorâ€" In As early as the middle of the seventeenth century the Carignan regiment was disbanded and settled upon the soil, as were some British regiments in Upper Canada after the Napoleonic wars. Here again history is about to repeat itself. The close of the present war should witness the settlement of tens of thousands of Canadian and British soldiers upon lands of their own in the several Proâ€" vinces. Earl Grey has provosed i~ London the creation of a hugo Imâ€" perial fund for this purpose s 14 there A Royal decrtee characterized the seigneurs‘ attitude as "repugnant to His Majesty‘s intentions," and forthâ€" with forced their . hands. They had to give free deeds to wouldâ€"be settlers whether or no, and, however the value of his land grew, no seigneur could exact more than the original nominal rental from his tenants. Under this system both banks of the St. Lawâ€" rence, from Montreal to below Queâ€" bec, were occupied, as were also both banks of the Richelieu and other triâ€" butary streams. For some time past The Daily News has advocated such arrangement with the transportation companies and other specuiators in the West as will make the accessible land in their possession available for actual productive settlers on equitable terms. Such a departure would close up the gaps of untilled sections along the transcontinental railways and greatly add to the national food outâ€" put, and therefore to the national wealth. In time the seigneuries occupied all the fertile territories bordering upon the rivers, which were the only through transportation routes. In time also some of the seigneurs reâ€" fused to allow settlement on favorâ€" ablyâ€"situated water frontages. They began to hold their choicest lands out of use, in the hope of ultimate gain. In 1707 the Intendent complained to the King of this new "spirit of busiâ€" ness speculation, which has always more of cunning and chicane than of truth and righteousness in it." Those greedy seigneurs were the foreâ€"runâ€" ners of the railways and other large speculators who for years have withâ€" held accessible lands in Western Canâ€" ada out of cultivation in the hope of larger profits. On arrival at Quebec the newcomâ€" ers were met by officials and friends, who quartered them and cared for them until they got a start on the land. The immigrants of the last twenty years have not been looked after nearly so well. Instead of beâ€" ing taken to their destination, located on the land, and shepherded through the difficulties of the first few months or years in a new country, they have been left to go where they would in the summer and drift into the cities in the winter. From the French seigneurs the immigrants got farms on nominal terms. In fact the condiâ€" tions were so light that any settler of reasonable industry and intelligence could meet them without difficulty. When the company grew lax in its efforts at colonization its privileges were withdrawn, and the country was converted into a Royal Province. For the next 100 years, or until the Briâ€" tish occupation, the French court granted tracts of land to seigneurs upon a modified feudal system, the grantees undertaking to bring out settlers and get the land under cultiâ€" vation. The King continued to assist with shiploads of immigrants, but then, as now, it was often found diffiâ€" cult to keep the adventurous newâ€" comers to the "prosaic task of tilling the soil." In those days the fascinaâ€" tion of the forest and the lure of the Indian fur trade drew the settlers from the land as the amusements and attractions of cities and railway conâ€" struction have drawn them in this age. on the land until they became selfâ€" supporting. The King of France ofâ€" ten assum_ed much of the expense. The Wheels Covered With Straw to Keep Them Coolâ€"Artillery Wagon at Cairo. The excessive heat of the summer sun in Egypt and other places of similar latitude Has an injurious effect upon artillery, especially upon the tires of wheels, and these, as our hotograph shows, are covered with straw to protect them from the sun. The photograph was taken in tfie square of the fafhous Kasrâ€"enâ€"Nil Barracks at Cairo. Similar coverings for artillery are, of course, used in the field as a disguise to conceal the position of guns from hostile aircraft. Recent war news from Egypt has concerned chieflly the accommoâ€" dation of wounded and prisoners from the Dardgnelles, and has recorded no further attacks on the Suez Canal. It was reported recently from Cairo that most of the Turkish forces in Sinai and Syria had been withdrawn to assist in defending the Dardanelles. From the Toronto Daily News. Get Soldiers On the Land. Rebuked by Royal Decree. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO The British Red Cross has 863 auxiliary hospitals containing 25,000 beds in addition to the military hosâ€" pitals. & . The Japanese Red Cross is conâ€" ducting a hospital at Netley, England. It has a, hospitalâ€"also in the Champs Elysees, Paris, and another in the "Italianskaya," Petrograd. Packages sent to prisoners. of war in Germany through the agency of the Red Cross are exempt from cusâ€" toms duties. * A French Red Cross medical bulleâ€" tin authorized by the French Ministry of War states that the mortality rate amongst wounded has been 8.48 per cent. The American Red Cross is supâ€" porting one thousand beds in fifteen hospitals in Turkey. It is the only neural branch of the International Red Cross which is conducting operaâ€" tions in the Ottoman Empire. The Argentine Republic sent 50,000 francs to the French Red Cross. It was distributed equally amongst the belligerent countries. Among the strangest strikes on reâ€" cord may be mentioned those of schoolchildren, executioners, prisonâ€" ers, beerâ€"drinkers, barristers, pauâ€" pers, choirâ€"boys, ministers, commerâ€" cial travellers, and undertakers‘ men. Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross, died in 1910 in poverty, having given his whole fortune to the society. The British Red Cross has collected and administered over $7,000,000 at an expense of 1%4 per cent. The cost of the stores management inâ€" cluding distribution wasâ€" only 3% per cent. An order was received for a comâ€" plete hospital at Calais. In five hours there was dispatched +~from London a train containing a comâ€" plete personel, 120 beds, a large amount of stores, 3 motors, and 3 ambulances. France has stationed German prisâ€" on camps in Corsica and Algeria. The French Red Cross is sending supplies to the German prisoners. The Red Cross hospitals at Bouâ€" logne handled 7,000 wounded in one day. The Russian Red Cross are running laundry and bath trains in which 2,000 men can bathe daily. The French Red Cross owing to the suspension of industry in France has had to make appeals for money in England. Its hospitals contain â€" over 1,000,000 beds. f Charles Le Moyne, probably the best of the seigneurs, gathered the stones from the land near Longueil and used them in building houses for the settlers. His grist mill and his brewery operated upon the products of the settlers‘ farms. It was the custom of the day for the seigneur to grind his tenants‘ grain. Le Moyne spent money on roads and other useâ€" ful improvements, so that he soon had a model seigneury, supporting a large number of comfortable and happy habitants. Some of the more industrious and intelligent settlers themselves became seigneurs. Thus, despite primitive conditions and many defects the seigneurial system did much for Lower Canada in the early days. Its strength lay in its use of what was virtually Stateâ€"aid in the promotion of settlement on the land, and in the support of the settlers unâ€" til they got on their feet. The earliâ€" est chapters of Canadian history thus present a precedent for carrying setâ€" tlers directly to the soil and financing them until they become securely esâ€" tablished. The same plan adapted to modern conditions has worked out successfully in Argentina, New Zeaâ€" land, and Australia In the twentiâ€" eth century Federal and Provincial Governments must take the place of the seventeenth century seigneurs. No time should be lost if the existing unemployed and the immigrants who are to come after the war are to be handled in a way that will be most advantageous to them and to the country. is need for adequate organization of the project while the war is still on. The soundest, sturdiest and most proâ€" gressive c‘lement of the Canadian population sprang from such military stock, and this blood flowing in the veins of our people, has had much to do with the eager response of the country in the present conflict. The character and standards of the peoâ€" ple who are to inhabit the Dominion is quite as important a consideration as their productivity in dollars and cents, and therefore it is that for more than one reason disbanded solâ€" diers will be welcomed as pioneer farmers.

"Too close together." said the hunâ€" gry youth, and the innkeeper took the hint. 2,228,300 Dead, 1,705,000 Prisoners Among 8,770,810 Casualties. According to an official appeal isâ€" sued toâ€"day by the French Relief Soâ€" ciety, the French casualties from the beginning of the war up to June 1, 1915, total 1,400,000. Of this numâ€" ber 400,000 are reported killed, 700,â€" 000 wounded and 300,00 taken prisonâ€" ers.

"Why," said the host, "isn‘t it good?" _ 4 s k hn‘ This is the second time Field Marâ€" shal von Hindenburg has tried this. His last effort, while it freed East Prussia of the Russians, cost the Gerâ€" mans an immense number of men and nearly involved them in disaster owing to the muddy condition of the ground. Now, however, there are only bad roads or lack of roads to contend with, but it is possible that the Germans have built railways to their northern front, as they have done in Central Poland. This statement is the text for the following computation, from official sources, giving the latest estimates of the total casualties of all the Powâ€" ers engaged in the great war:â€" France, Killed, 400,000; wounded, 700,000; prisoners and missing, 300,â€" 000; total casualties, 1,400,000. _ Germanyâ€"Killed, 482,000; woundâ€" ed, 852,000; prisoners and missing, 233,000; total casualties, 1,567,000. .

It was genâ€" erally supposed that Gen. von Macâ€" kenzen would, after being strengthâ€" ened, continue his attempt to reach the Lublinâ€"Cholm railway, thus foreâ€" ing the evacuation of Warsaw. But, as in all their operations, the Gerâ€" mans have done the unexpected. The new offensive will probably be genâ€" eral, and extend from the Baltic around the East Prussian border to the Vistula, west of Warsaw, for all the Russian troops in this section must be kept busy to prevent them from concentrating at the point where the Germans hope to break through. GERMANS AGAIN WIN PRZASNYSZ Occupy Town.in Northern Poland on Route of Their Former Drive. A despatch from London says: Abandoning for the moment their atâ€" tempt to outflank Warsaw from the south, the Germans, probably under Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who is reported to have said that he would shortly astonish the world, have renewed their attack on the Polish capital from the north. They have not only captured a large number of prisoners south of Koino, according to the report issued by Berlin, but have occupied Przasâ€" nysz, a fortified town of 50 miles north of Warsaw, which was taken by von Hindenburg in his great drive from East Prussia last winter, but was retaken by the Russians in their counterâ€"offensive. This claim is partly confirmed by the Russian official report, which stated that the Russians, in the face of strong German forces, withdrew to their second line of entrenchments. WAR‘S RECORD TO DATE. The Close Ends. A Gespatch from Zurich says: It is becoming more clear that Germany has now talled up her last reserves and that every available man is beâ€" ing Sent to the fighting line, Gerâ€" mans of 45 years of age residing in Switzerland have now been called to TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHINESE DROWN Among the simple inventions which are awaiting evolution, and any one of which would make a fortune for its inventor, are: a bottle which canâ€" not be refilled; a nut for bolts which will not shake loose; a smokeâ€"consumâ€" ing appliance; a good pencilâ€"sharpenâ€" er; and a means of driving away A fireâ€"swept area of one mile and raging floods handicapped the work of rescue in Canton. The city was in darkness, the water having inunâ€" dated the machinery of the electric light plant. "The French are arming their troops with a short knife for use in trench warfare, thus replacing the bayonet, which, when fixed in the rifie, is too long a weapon to give a man free play in the narrow trenchâ€" A despatch from Hong Kong says: Tens of thousands of natives are estiâ€" mated to have been drowned by the floods in the Chinese provinces of Kwantung, Kwangsi and Kiangsia, and the desolation in the devastated districts is terrible, according to the latest reports reaching here. Missionaries arrived seeking the asâ€" sistance of the United States gunboat Cattao to aid in the work of rescue. The last report received here from Canton before communication was cut said that the Christian hospital was in danger from fire. A despatch from London says: The Daily Mail‘s correspondent at British headquarters in France says: Rabbit fur is said to be supplantâ€" ing wool in felt hat making in Ausâ€" tralia, where thirtyâ€"two factories are in operation. The fur is consiiered much superior to the finest Merino for this purpos:, and millions of rabâ€" bit skins are used annually. ITALIAN TROOPS ENVOYS LEAVE _ CONSTANTINOPLE A despatch from London says: Priâ€" vate .advices describe the Battle of Isonzo as the greatest fought as yet on the Italian front, the attacks of the Italians being almost incessant and most determined in character. The bridgehead of Gorizia has sufferâ€" ed greatly from the bombardment of the Italians, who seem resolute to carry the position at whatever cost in order to develop the operations on the east ‘side of the River Isonzo. The whole front along this line is strewn with thousands of dead. The mountain slopes are also spotted with the bodics of attackers and defenders alike. The new Italian offensive seems to develop all along the front in the Tyrol, Carnia and Trentino. A new device has been adopted by the Austrians. Peaks and high slopes of the mountains have been fortified, and the men are under cover behind rocks and great stones built up all around the peaks. When attacked by great masses from below they blow up these fortified positions so that great boulders roll down on the onâ€" coming enemy like an avalanche. The Italians also are said to have captured two important ports south of Gorizia. The despatches which bring this news say that many Germans in Turâ€" key are leaving the country hurriedly, and that as a consequence the wellâ€" informed Turks feel that there is little hope that the Dardanelles will be able to hold out. The lack of muâ€" nitions in the Turkish army is said to be a matter of very serious imporâ€" tance. Bread and foods of all descriptions are scarce in the capital and elseâ€" where, while the wounded soldiers are recciving very inadequate attention. The wheat crop in Anatolia is said to have been ruined. The Ulemas no longer mentoin a Holy War, and are exhorting the people to be calm. Fire Is Now Also Sweeping a Large ARM FRENCH TROOPS WITH A SHORT KNIFE The Italians have captured two miles of Austrian trenches in the Carnic Alps, according to a despatch received from Villach, an Austrian town on the River Drave, 52 miles northâ€"west of Laibach. The Alpine troops, the despatches say, dragged their artillery to the heights near Roskofel, which is situâ€" ated at an altitude of 6,600 feet. A despatch from Rome says: It is confirmed here that a disagreement between Enver Pasha and the two German envoys at Constantinople, Gen. von der Goltz and Gen. Liman von Sanders, has resulted in the deâ€" parture of the latter for Berlin.

The Wieliczka salt mine is two and oneâ€" half miles long from east to west and 1,050 yards wide from north to south, says a writer in the Manchester Guardian.
