Ne ud w d MOT TO BRITISH CHAPLAIN IN A BODY Preacher Came Across A despatch from the British Armies | In France says: A British chaplain while searching the battlefield of thez Ancre for wounded hidden in the shell craters during the British ldv.nee,‘ accompanied by a few soldiers, umel upon an isolated trench containing nearly 400 Germans, who promptly: surrendered. The chaplain ordered the men to file out upon the open BRITISH FLEET COPES WIiTH SUB MENACE Col. Churchill Shows That Loss of Ships Has Been Made A despatch from London says: Great Britain‘s most important enâ€" emy, says Col. (Winston) Churchill, should not get the idea that Great Britain was afraid of the submarines. The fleet and resources of the counâ€" try were quite able to cope with the danger. The speaker urged the armâ€" ing of all merchantmen. Fourâ€"fifths of the armed ships attacked, he said, had escaped, while fourâ€"fifths of those unarmed had been sunk. Col. Churchâ€" ill pointed out that at the beginning of the war Great Britain had over eighteen million tons in ships exceedâ€" ing 1,000 tons. She had almost the same toâ€"day, although she had lost 2,â€" 225,000 tons by all risks, and, he beâ€" lieved, had added fourâ€"fifths of that amount by new construction. BRiTAIN TO STOP LIQUOR MAKING? Drastic Move Proposed to Conâ€" serve the Supply of Corn and Sugar. A despatch from London says:â€"A motion that the manufacture of intoxiâ€" cating liquors in Great Britain should be prohibited will be made in the House of Commons, according to notice given by a group of members after the speech of Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, on the food situation. _ The members of the group, their notice stated, will move that this prohibition should be imposed in view of Mr. Runciman‘s grave statement respecting the shortâ€" age of corn, sugar and other foodâ€" stuffs. The Record Set Up In Scotland Last Year. There were more marriages . in Scotland last year, in proportion to population, than in‘ any year since 1855. The total was over 36,200, and a feature of the ceremonies was the youth of many of the contracting parties. 4 were boys of sixteen. 50 were boys of seventeen. 200 were boys of eighteen. 695 were boys of nineteen. 1,328 were boys of twenty. In all 2,286 were married before the age of 21. There were 6,730 brides of less than 21. 11 married at fifteen. 102 married at sixteen. 542 married at seventeen. 1.328 married at cighteen. 11 married at fifteen. 102 married at sixteen. 542 married at seventeen. 1,328 married at cighteen. 2,124 married at nineteen. 2,623 married at twenty. In both cases records were set up, says the Registrarâ€"General, who also records the number of births at 114,â€" 191 (the lowest rate since 1869) and the deaths at 81,631 (the highest figâ€" ure, with four exceptions, since 1855). Tom, his mother, an older sister and baby brother took the train for grandfather‘s. _ One seat did not hoid them all and Tom was placed in the one in front of his mother. After they were some way on their journey, a portly geniteman entered from the amoker and seated himself by Tom. He turned and, beaming on the small boy, said: V""Wierll, my little man, where did you get on?". _ FTom looked wonderingly at him for a moment and then slowly and earefully answered: _ _ E':u'.ii'*-'p&ow, and another is the saving of Australian agriculture from wrasshoppers by the gtrsv!-necked who came across to Trance on Wednssday, A remarkable instance of the serâ€" viee of birds to agriculturists is the elimination of the thistle and the caterpillar from New'Zedax:d by the Some Units Have Been in Close Contact With Infantry on Somme All Summer.

Live Stock Markets Montreal Markets Winnipeg Grain. vellow Cornâ€"American below fitF; A despatch from London says: In the House of Commons of Wedâ€" nesday Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, stated that the time had arrived when the Governâ€" ment must regard the question of food supplies as a war problem, declaring that the strain the country would have to bear next year would be mainâ€" ly in connection with the food supâ€" ply. Measures would be taken, Mr. Runâ€" ciman declared, to prevent growers making an undue profit on potatoes. He also foreshadowed drastic Govâ€" ernment action to prevent the use of sugar as a luxury, and added that steps would be taken to control imâ€" ported flour, and that orders would be issued forthwith calling for milk contracts in order to limit the price. In announcing the intention of the Government to prevent growers from making undue profits from the sale of potatoes, he said, the question of disâ€" pensing with some articles of food was under consideration, and in this connection the mentioned elaborate and costly confectionery, concerning which a committee of the Royal Soâ€" ciety had been advising the Board of Trade. The retail prices of foodstuffs comâ€" pared with a year ago have increased on an average of 27 per cent. They have increased 78 per cent. over prices before the war. The prices of sugar, eggs, fish and potatoes, however, are more than double the preâ€"war prices. |\ â€""If our yards had remained in full | activity we could have produced two \ million tons yearly, while our total | losses during the war have been only \two and oneâ€"quarter million. I see | no reason why in the next six months iwe should not turn out nearly half a \million tons." The President of the Board of Trade also stated that the Governâ€" ment intended to bring about the poolâ€" ing of engineering resources in order to expedite shipbuilding, He saw no reason why at the end of this year the production of shipping for the preâ€" ceding six months should not apâ€" proach 500,000 tons. The Governâ€" ment must "make the plunge" in this matter, for the provision of more merchant ships was most urgent. The Wheat Question. Dealing with the wheat question, Mr. Runciman said the Government had taken full advantage of the abunâ€" dant harvests of Canada and Ausâ€" tralia, which had been augmented by an enormous production in the United States, but that next year the country would have to depend to a large exâ€" tent on Australia. Arrangements with Australia, he added, were rather a question of stimulating, not producâ€" tion, but transport. Dealing with the delay owing to the shortage of labor at French ports and consignment â€" congestion, Mr. Runciâ€" man suggested bringing labor from other parts of the world to relieve this congestion. On the question of the shipping outâ€" put, he explained that the British yards were not working up to their maximum production. Now construcâ€" tion must be increased if Great Britâ€" ain was to hold her own, adding: With respect to the possibility of the Government taking measures to limit food consumption, he said it was imperative to cut down the luxurious use of sugar, especially with regard to costly confectionery. The excessive consumption of poâ€" tatoes, he declared, must be stopped; potatoes must not be used for feedâ€" ing animals and unless consumption was reduced voluntarily recourse to potato tickets might be necessary. The Government would take steps to prevent undue profits being made from potatoes. A Food Controller. Foreshadowing the appointment of a food controller, who must have powers greater than the existing deâ€" partments to coâ€"ordinate all activities, the Minister announced that wider powers would be conferred by orderâ€" ofâ€"Council for the purpose of proceedâ€" ing against wasters and destroyers of food. Pure white flour, from which the best qualities are extracted, would not be allowed to be milled in the fuâ€" ture and steps would be taken for the control of imported flour and also for the sale and distribution of other articles of food in ~order to prevent cornering. If it became necessary food tickets would be introduced. Instancing milk as one of the arâ€" ticles the price of which might be controlled by calling for contracts. Mr. Runciman reminded the House that it was only possible to fix the prices of articles controlled by the state and that attempts to control other articles might prevent their coming into the country. The Governâ€" ment had been driven to ask for these powers against its will, but they were only a temporary expedient. The London morning papers devote their leading editorials to Mr. Runciâ€" man‘s statement in the House of Comâ€" mons. They recognize the seriousness of the situation and concur in the necessity of the proposed measures which some of them regret were not adopted earlier. A despatch from London says: The Timesâ€"announces that its collese tions on behalf of the Red Cross on Wednesday passed £5,000,000. $25,000,000 RAISED Old Marriage Feasts.

WHAIVX=8 MAHSOG JHT Means a Definite Encircling of the Central Powers. A despatch from Paris says:â€"Jean Cruppi, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, speaking at a meeting . on Thursday presided over by Prof. Paul Painleve, Minister of Public Instracâ€" tion, outlined the importance of the inâ€" tervention of Roumania on the side of the allies in the war. _ As a result of Rumania‘s participation the allied armies are now at Orsova, from which point he said they would be able to advance toward Budapest. â€" It is only 60 miles from Kalafat to Nish, through which passes the railway connecting the Central Powers with the East. TV 41 1 ONTARIO ARCHIVEsS TORONTO He pointed out also that it is only 180 miies from the advanced positions on the Salonica front to the Danube, and that the Russoâ€"Rumanian armies have a natural path through Doâ€" brudja towards Sofia and Constantiâ€" nople, Dorna Watra, in Moldavia, where the Entente allies have been fighting successfully, overlooks the plains of Hungary. These considerations, he urged, are sufficient to show the importance of the Rumanian front in the plans of the Entente. Habits of the Frost Weed Prove a Puzzle to Botanists. Late in autumn, after producing two sets of blooms, the frost weed becomes a miniature ice factory and forms crystals of "ice" about the cracked bark of the root. On each little broken rootlet there appear cakes of "ice," exactly right in size for the refrigerator of a fairy queen. As yet no botanist has been able to discover the secret of the plant‘s ice making. The ice appears often long before ice is formed on the ponds, and can be found by digging up the deeply set rootlets. Two blooming seasons is another peculiarity of the plant. Early in June it sends out a wealth of golden yellow blossoms, having five petals each and set at intervals upon the thickly leaved stem. These blooms mature and produce seeds. Then late in August the plant flowers again, producing blooms idenâ€" tical with those of the earlier season. Board of Supervisors Are Invested With Powers to Stop Waste. A despatch from Paris says: Under a Government decree which is about to be signed, France is to begin a series of war economies. A national board of supervisors presided over by exâ€"President Armand Fallieres will be invested with large powers in an effort to stop waste and to compel savings in the use of coal, light and provisions.

Ard Also for Polandâ€"Sacrifices of the Dead Must Not Have Been in Vain. Maurice Macterlinckâ€"mystic and optimistâ€"has never written with bitâ€" terness or hate. He has never in anyâ€" thing that he has written wished evil to any man. In "The Wrack of the Storm" he rises to a passion of maleâ€" diction. He has one essay in the preâ€" sent volume that is like Emile Camâ€" maerts‘ unforgettable "New Year‘s Wish for the German Army." And the reason is, of course, the same. Maeterlinck bere is the voice of Belâ€" gium. Andâ€"though he does not use the wordâ€"he curses Germany. Yet bitterness and hatred form but a small part of his book. Even the heartbreaking catastrophe that has overwhelmed his country (we cannot use the word tragedy in connection with magnificent, heroic Belgium!) does not crowd out the expression of other thingsâ€"things _ striving, or comforting, or triumphant. Speaking himself for his country, Maeterlinck sounds notes of ultimate _ victory. There is nothing easyâ€"going in his warâ€"time philosophy; he believes, on the contrary, that his country and her allies are fighting against maâ€" terial destiny, against "the will of earth"â€"and man has not conquered destiny before. His optimism is a vigorous battleâ€"cry toward the triâ€" umph that shall come. But he beâ€" lieves that it must comeâ€"not merely the victory over Germany, but the victory of man over destiny, over adâ€" Ivurse forces without and within. This faith he gives to his country in his exquisite invocation for Belâ€" gium‘s Flag Day. Here are book : "We are nothing, we are no better than our enemies, we have no title to deliver millions of innocent men to death, unless we stand for justice. The idea of justice alone must rule all that we undertake, for we are united, we have risen, and we exist only in its name. At this moment we occupy all the pinnacles of this justice, to which we have brought such an imâ€" pulse, such sacrifices, and such heroâ€" ism as we shall perhaps never behold again. . . . There are dead whose energy surpasses death and recovers life; and we are almost every one of vs at this moment the mandatories of a being greater, nobler, graver, wiser, and more truly living than ourselves.
