The "Vossische" writer does not believe that the million or so of prisoners will unanimously take to studying German as a relief to the monotony of their captivity, but there are thousands for whom dominoes and football afford no intellectual stimulus, and these men would only be too glad to master the key which open to them the treasure house of Goethe and Schiller, Lessing and Hauptmann.

Lord Derby made an earnest plea for America‘s help in ending what he termed "German kultur." He paid tribute to the Prussians, who, he said, were fighting like "tigers," but their confident spirit was incomparable with the British. "What will you do with the Kaiser if you get him?" Lord Derby was asked. "When you get to Bapaume will you rest there before beginning a new offensive?" he was asked. "We won‘t rest until we get to Berâ€" lin," came the reply. Regarding the length of the war, Lord Derby said that any one who named a specific time could only be described as a fool, but that the next two weeks ought to see great things achieved. Spirit of Men at Front is Perâ€" fect, Says Underâ€"Secretary of War. A despatch from London says: Lord Derby, Underâ€"Secretary of War, who recently visited the British front, on Wednesday gave the International News Service his impression of the work being done there by the British "I never saw such absolute confiâ€" dence, not only among the officers, but all the grades from the generals down. The spirit is absolutely magâ€" nificent. Men who, fifteen months ago, were in counting houses, are toâ€" day the finest soldiers imaginable. "After all, you cannot beat a volunâ€" teer army, where such spirit and conâ€" fidence exists, for remember, I should say at least 93 per cent. of the army are volunteers, while the remainder really only wanted their minds made up for them." Lord Derby was asked whether the ground gained in the recent British advance was worth the losses of men. Lord Derby said: "There is no question about it."

The newest evidence of German warâ€"time frugality is an official orâ€" ganization to make use of the coffee grounds hitherto thrown away in most cases with kitchen refuse, It is the result of successful experiments to convert dried grounds into nourishing fodder for cattle, A special filtering process has also been devised for winâ€" ning a certain "extract‘" from the grounds, which has been found suitâ€" able for human nourishment.

GOVERNMENT TO SINK ARTESIAN WELLS It was greatly due to:â€" his efforts indeed that the Territorials became such an important part of the army. As director of the Auxiliary forces the militia, yeomanry and vyolunteers had nothing too good to say of him. It is only fitting that General Macâ€" kinnon should be one of the men gatherinng recruits for the greatest volunteer army the world has ever seen, for he has been associated with the volunteers for many years.

Upolu covers an area of 345 square miles, while Savaii boasts 660 (Monoâ€" no and Apoluma are small tributary islands), the whole population of the latter not exceeding 3,600, of which five hundred are white and a thousand halfâ€"caste; the bulk of Europeans and halfâ€"castes are on Upolu. A Fine Wireless Station. German New Guinea was another valuable capture, Kaiserwilhelmland, as it is called, being taken after slight resistance. At Henhershoe, the capital and seat of German Government, the Germans have erected a fine wireless station capable of transmitting messages very long distances. Thousands of Chinese were introâ€" duced by the Germans in order to work the plantations, for the natives are averse to labor; but although the Chinese are splendid workers, they are a menace to white and native alike. The island of Upolu is one of great beauty, hills rising above hills, all clothed with tropical verdure. The roads all over the island are good, and almost everyone owns a horse or horses and buggies. Native Choruses. British, French, American, and German residents have got many valuâ€" able cocoa plantations; besides which there are also cocoanut plantations, bananas, faro, and many other troâ€" pical fruits, vegetables, and plants. the n Forces. Apia roadstead was ‘the scene of that historical cyclone when H.M.S. Calliope, as she escaped, was cheered by the crews of the sinking American warship and the other doomed vessels. It was also in Samoa, not long ago, that Americans, Germans, and British joined forces in subduing a native reâ€" bellion. The natives are a fine race, courtly and intelligent, and essentially a warâ€" like race. Those who have heard the beautiful native melodies that they sing in chorus can never forget the beauty of the scene and setting. Samoa isthe most important group in the Pacific, and some miles from the coast, upon a spur of the hills, the Germans had erected at enormous cost a most upâ€"toâ€"date wireless station which can give and take messages to San Francisco. This wireless station and plant were simply put out of comâ€" mission by the removal (by the Gerâ€" mans) of a few important parts, but was quickly restored to working order by the clever operator who landed with Samoa is famous all the world over as the last home of Robert Louis Stevâ€" enson, and his restingâ€"place is marked by a great granite stone, the grave beâ€" ing on one of the highest peaks in the island. His old home, Vailima, is now the headquarters of the adminisâ€" trator. The buildings and business places at Apia, the capital, are of an upâ€"toâ€" date and substantial character, and the European habitations all over the island are roomy, wellâ€"built and comâ€" fortable. The New Zealanders, under an Ausâ€" tralian naval escort, took possession of this group, and the British flag was soon floating in the breeze opposite the residence of Dr. Schultze, the Gerâ€" man governor. To a race of islanders like ourselves the idea of hoisting the British flag over an enemy isle makes a strong and romantic appeal. This is intensified by the fact that our Australian cousâ€" ins have taken and occupied most of the islands captured during the war, says London Answers. The first islands to be taken were those of the glorious tropical paraâ€" dise, Samoa, censisting of Upolu and Savaii; the other island of the group, Tutuila, being already an American naval station.

Parshall, the famous German aviator, was killed fighting a British biplane. In December, 1912, Germany had 73,400,000 hens, which laid on an avâ€" erage 75 eggs each a year, a total of 5,505,000,000. Germans imported in the two years before the war 166,000 tons of eggs per annum, and it has been reckoned that consumption of homeâ€"laid and foreign eggs totalled 8,â€" 800,000,000, "Aunt Voss‘s" egg staâ€" tisticlan says only about 7,800,000,000 of these were used for or as food, or 150,000,000 a week, or 22 per capita, In families, even in peace times, he asserts, there were never more than two eggs per person used a week on the average, so that the war ration involves "no hardships." Ration is Cut Pretty Small in the German Capital. After bread, meat, butter and potaâ€" Xoes, eggs can now be had only on the ration basis of two per person per week in Greater Berlin The latest papers, commenting on this newest precautionary measure to regulate the food supply, make a somewhat amusing attempt to belittle the imâ€" portance of eggs "after all." The Vossische Zeitung‘s lightning food calculator says eggs comprise only 1 per cent. of Germany‘s nourishment necessities, compared with 13 per cent, represented by meat, 12.2 per cent. by potatoes, and 42.2 per cent. by bread. "Everybody knows," he adds, "that it takes 12 or 14 eggs to equal the nuâ€" tritive strength of 1 Ib. of beef." _ Large Quantities Are Obtainable From In England there has been much talk of introducing natural Eastern dyes which heretofore have not reâ€" ceived much attention because of the cheapness and reliability of mineral dyes. Large quantities of the lac dye, which is the basis for a fast scarlet, may be obtained from India, where it is now only a waste product of the shellac industry. Certain roots are found in quantitie in India which might be used as substitutes for madâ€" der. "Cutch" is an extract from the bark of the mangrove, which is used extensively in tanning. There are seyvâ€" eral varieties, gambier, Bombay, Benâ€" gal and mangrove cutch, and all were considered valuable by dyers until reâ€" placed by the cheaper aniline dyes. The two main varieties of mangrove found in the East Indies are Bakau and Tungah. The cutch made from the Tungah variety is superior for dyeing and commands a far higher price. There is a factory in British North Borneo which now turns out about 160 tons of Tungah cutch a month and will shortly have an outâ€" put of 250 tons or more. The groves in its immediate neighborhood show no indication of exhaustion. Chinese manufacturers of vegetable ryes have also been induced to reâ€" vive the manufacture of vegetable dyes which had been almost wholly suspended. The higher prices being paid for these dyes at present is said to have made possible the organizaâ€" tion of the business on sounder ecoâ€" nomic principles. Large quantities of the dyes have already been shipped to the United Kingdom, where they are said to be giving satisfaction. There is practically no limit to the supply, provided the price paid is commensurate with the cost of proâ€" duction. In Japan, before the introâ€" duction of miner dyes, there were probably more different vegetable dyes used than in any other part of the world. Few of the dyes, however, were strictly fast, and the only thorâ€" oughly dependable black was the one made in the Kyota district and used largely in dyeing the haori, the short, jacketâ€"like garment worn by Japanese men and women alike. The vegetable dyes were long ago supplanted by mineral ones, but existing circumâ€" stances are said by American indusâ€" tries to be forcing a return to the older dyes. "In a historical sense it embodies the measuring by the army leaders of the countries of all their forces in a decisive land battle. "The fearful battle which has now raged three weeks signifies more than the fact that it is the greatest atâ€" tempt yet undertaken by the western enemies, with unprecedented force, to push back the German army from the occupied _ provinces of â€" Northern France. * A despatch from Berlin says: The Vossische Zeitung prints the followâ€" ing despatch from its correspondent, Max Osborne, from Cambrai, France: BRITISH ADVANCES CONTINUE IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA Enemy Driven From Stronglyâ€"Organized Positions Astride Railâ€" roadâ€"German Governor Killed.

He excused himself with: "My men and horses are fatigued," and came quietly in the day after, His thought for his men and officers is one of General Allenby‘s marked characterâ€" istics General Allenby married twenty years ago, and his dislike of publicity is emphasized by an incident which occurred during the South African War, when he won his C.B. At the entry into Barberton, after desperateâ€" ly hard fighting under Lord French, the general of the brigade wished Alâ€"‘ lenby‘s division to lead the triumphal procession into the town; but alâ€" though it had taken the honors in the field, being first in every attack,! Allenby demurred when it came to a parade of victory, of "Hard service" is General Allenby‘s motto, Like Lord Kitchener, he holds the view that social and society life should play no part in a soldier‘s career. f two years of the war appears the real significance of the great world strugâ€" gleâ€"namely, England and Germany engaged in a tremendous duel. Everyâ€" thing that has taken place hitherto between the two peoples appear now a mere prologue. The duel has begun, and day by day it swallows the lives of tens of thousands. It was with the Inniskillings that General Allenby made his mark. As a youngster he entered the famous dragoons and first saw active service in the Bechuanaland Expedition of "84, and afterwards in the Zuly War HE SAW SERVICE IN THE soUTH AFRICAN WAR.

We are all hoping so at any rate. So far this war has been a titani¢ struggle between infantry and artilâ€" lery, the cavailry playing but a small part; but what work there has been to do has been done with that splenâ€" did efficiency which led Lord French, in his early despatches from the front, to bestow the highest praise upor General Sir Edmund Allenby, who is commander of our horsemen at the front. King George has the highest admirâ€" ation for this great cavalry leader, who visited His Majesty recently ts post him on matters at the front. Cavalry men in general and the Innisâ€" killings in particular swear by Allenâ€" by, for it is largely due to his methods introduced on Salisbury Plains that our cavalry are toâ€"day recognized as the best in the world.
