In the renewing year, on September 3, Britain, Fame and Spain signed the treaty which ended their war, while on the same day Britain recognized the independence of the United Btates by the treaty of Paris, Benjamin Prankhin, John Adams and John Jay being the Sign» or eapecial interest at the present the. when the representatives of the victorious attics are remaking the sided were.

Dur- ing the Tao Ping rebellion 1,850 women as well as men served in the ranks. In Nanklng. in 1863, an army of 500,000 women were recruited. They were divided into brigades of 13,000 each and‘were commanded by women om- cars. A teacher was reading to her class when she came to the word "unaware." She asked it anyone knew the mean- ing.

The children hide under their beds with terror. The nurse-s have to go the rounds continually. If the children would only cry, they would give warning. But instead they creep silently out from between the sheets and crouch against the. floor like dumb animals'. That is what they are when first they are brought in. Their most primitive instincts for the beginnings of cleanliness seem to have vanished. They have been fished out of caves. ruined dugouts. broken houses. They are full of skin dis- eases as the beggar who sat outside Dives' gate, only they have had no dogs to lick their sores. {hey have lived on oita1 so lone that hey have the faces of the extremely aired. And their hatred! Directly you utter the word "boehe" all the nisht-ttowned fieuretr sit up in their cots and curse. When they have done cursing of their own arcord they sing the “Marseil- laise." . The unchildiike stoicism of those children is appalling. I spent two days among tnem and heard no ery- ing. Those who are sick lie motion- less as waxen images in their cots. Those who are supposedly well sit all day brooding and saying nothing. When first they arrive their faces are earth colored. The first thing they have to be taught is how to be chil- dren. They have to be coaxed and induced to play: even then thes soon grow weary. They seem to regard mere playing as frivolous and in- decorous; and so it is in the light of the tragedies they have witnessed.‘ Children of seven have seen more of horror in three years than most old. nix: have read about in a lifetime.; Many of them have been captured by: and recaptured from the Huns. They have been in villages where the dead lay in piles and not even the women, were spared. They have been present' while indecencies were worked upon', their mothers. They have seen men , hanged, shot, bayonetted, and flung to roast in burning: houses. The _pit-i' tures of all these things hang in their eyes. When they play it is out of; politeness to the kind Americans, notl, because they derive any pleasure i from it. p __ being asked where his mother was, replied gravely: "My momma. she is dead, Les boches. they put a gun to 'er head.

The Chancellor boasted, with very just pride, in his budget speech last April. that all we had borrowed abroad, during the war we had borrowed in order to relcnd to Allies. so that with regard to our lown war cost we had been self-sumo- 'ine. The figures thTscially published. in so far as they can be understood. ‘mnre than bear out this statement." seas representatives were present, the chairman states that all overseas Governments had unreservedly agreed to bear their share of whatever ex- pense was involved in worthily honor- ine the memory of their dead. The commission. therefore, was free to discharge its task in no ungrudgirut or niggardly spirit. The commission adopted the recommendation that the most suitable method of honoring those whose graves could not be found or identified would be to place a tab- let. appropriately inseribed, in n ceme- tery near the snot where it is believed the. men were killed. It is estimated thot there will be at least a thousand cemeteries. The commission decided to ask the Indian Government to formulate proposals f or the establish- ment cf an agency in India for the care of British graves there. The commission also warmly thanked the Union of South Africa Government, for its most generous offer to meet the. entire cost of z-inieteries and for the provision of memorials to omeers atrl men of "w Imperial forces dying, within the Union.
