The articles needed for this treatment are: Hot water, pieces uof soft flannel twice the size of the area to be covered, a protector which may be made of folds of flannel, or better, of cotton batting quilted between lay- ers of eheese-eloth, and some kind of a wringer. The flannel is wrung out by placing it in the centre of a towel and twisting the ends of the latter in opposite directions. This device can be improved upon by making a hem in either end of the towel and running sticks through the hems. By ty.utr init the sticks in opposite directions) the flannel can be wrung very dry. To‘ apply, Dover the painful part with‘ the protector, then remove flannel trom the wringer, test it with the back of the hand. and, if it is not too hot, place it under the protector and put it down slowly to avoid burning the patient. Change these applies. tions every few minute l do not al- low them to become cool. . Torpedoed Off Irish Coast-48 Lost Out of 610. A despatch from London says: The British auxiliary cruiser Calgarian was torpedoed off the Irish coast on Saturday last. She was struck by four torpedoes, but of the 610 persons on board all but 48 w e landed at an Irish port. The pool“; of the same town, who a few days ago won the gratitude of the American people by their kindness to the survivors from the Tuscania, have extended their hospitality in the last few days to nearly 500 men from- the Calgarian, one of the finest auxiliary cruisers in the Atlantic service. The Calgarian was torpedoed in the late afternoon not far from the place where the Tuscania met her doom. BRITISH CRUISER CALGARIAN SUNK Montreal.

The fortifications of the Aland Islands will be removed. A despatch from Amsterdam says: Official announcement was made in Berlin on Thursday of the signing of a peace treaty between Germany and Finland, and also of trade and ship- ping agreements and a supplementary protocol. FINLAND REPUBLIC SIGNS , PEACE TREATY WITHGERMANY. A despatch from London says: The drastic terms imposed by Germany upon Rumania, it is contended here, not only definitely takes her out of the war, but places her geographically at the economic mercy of the en- emy. All pretence of "no annexa- tions, no indemnitieis," is openly aban- doned in the clause requiring "reeti- fieation of the Austro-Hungarian fron- tier," which involves the loss of the valuable oil fle1ds. The cessibn of Dubrudia, not to Bulgaria, but to the Central Powers, suggests that there is a eonfliet in the Quadruple Alliance over the division of the booty. from the spoliation of Romania. . GERMAN TREATY WITH RUMANIA Province of Dobrudja as Far as Danube is Ceded to Central Powers. A despatch from Amsterdam says: A preliminary peace-treaty between Rumania and the Central powers has been signed, says a despatch from Bucharest. Under the terms of the preliminary peace agreement Rumania cedes the province of Dobrudja as far as the Danube to the Central powers. Ru- mania also undertakes to further the transport of Teutonic troops through Moldavia and Bessarabia to Odessa. An oMeial German statement said Rumania had accepted the conditions of the Germans for an armistice. Ap- parently the signing of a preliminary treaty followed almost immediately. F3 A despatch from New York says: Production of pleasure automobiles will be cut 30 per cent. during the pre- sent f1seal year as a war measure, ac- cording to a decision reached here on Thursday by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. The reduction applies to the entire uncompleted sche- dule for the your. Production of Pleasure Autos Reduced. In view of this assurance that the United States will be able‘to main- tain its place as a fighting unit on the battle front, reports from the Western front are being scanned more eagerly than ever by offieers here for the first signs of the 1918 campaign. It is felt strongly that the opening of major operations in what President Wilson has_predieted will prove the decisive year of the great war will not be much longer de- layed. A despatch from Washington says: Troops and supplies for General Pershing's forces now are moving to France on schedule time, it was learn- ed on Thursday on high authority. While figures may not be published, it was stated positively that tranSport- ation requirements of the away are being met by the Shipping Board, and the immediate situation as to ships was described as satisfactory.

" The Germans watched the men struggling in the icy water, said, Capt. Hermansen, but did not offer any help. “A young mai," he said, "asked me Which was the more estimable, riches or brains. A university president was com- plaining about the worship of wealth that has seemed to characterize the twentieth century. With five companions, Capt. Her- mansen spent a terrible night on a raft, exposed to intense cold. They found an upturned lifeboat at dawn and managed to right her. They had drifted about for 50 hours when res- cued by an American destroyer. One man died in delirium; the others had their feet frozen. A despatch from London says: The Norwegian, steamer Havna, of 1,150 tons gross, has been torpedoed without warning. Sh‘e sank in less than one minute. The crew of 18 had no time to launch a boat and jumped into the sea. The captain and five survivors were landed Monday night. Norwegian Ship Sunk-Six Sur- vivors Rescued. GERMANS WATCH CREW DROWN $6,900,000 ls Knowledge Golden? m”. American naval ofheials appear to be tsatisfied that the weapons with which they expect to crush futtU- ly the submarine meme are forth- coming. Increased numbers of patrol vessels of various types, appliances, and devices to make them more ef.. fective agiinst underwater craft, and the increased skill of new personnel are among the things upon which they count. It has taken time to devise and builothe weapons, but they are be. ginning to become quibble now. A pair of scissors will be found an endless convenience in the kitchen. Whether succeeding months have shown a net loss in German submar- ines is not known here. It is believed, however, that the anti-submirine cem- pnign has proved so effective that in- creased efrortg this Spring will see’f steady decrease in the number of U- boate availebie to prey on allied and American shipping. 'Feeling of Optimism Prevails in V Official Circles. A despatch from Washington says: More submarines were destroyed by the allied and American naval forces in December than Germany was able to build during that month, according to information reaching Washington. This fact developed on Thursday in diseuisions of the statement made to Parliament on Thursday by BirAilrie C. Geddes, First Lord of the British Admiralty, that the submarines were being checked.
