Prize. crew‘s The correct custom, an Imperial solâ€" dier says, is to wear the service butâ€" ton on the rightâ€"hand side of the coat. If relativesâ€"of a deceased soldier wear the latter‘s decorations of valor their ribbons should be worn on the left side. They are, and they are not, the colors and shading are identical, the only difference, however, is an imporâ€" tant one, for a Mons hero wears a blue, white and red ribbon and the Canuck turns his rightside up and wears a red, white and blue ribbon. A short time ago a veteran stated that the Mons Star ribbon and the Canadian 1914 ribbon were exactly the same. On the word of an exâ€"Imperial solâ€" dier, both the Mons Star ribbon and the 1914 Canadian service ribbon, are worn on the left breast, as are all other service ribbons.

The sole result of this incident will be that the revictualling of Gerâ€" many will now depend on the acceptâ€" ance by Germany of all conditions of the new armistice." The Homme Libre, the organ of Premier Clemenceau, says that such attempts at resistance will prove fuâ€" tile, "Premier Lloyd George having demonstrated that the Allied governâ€" ments will be still more exacting than the miitary experts in regard to disarmament." _ The stand taken by the German representatives at Spa in refusing to deliver German merchant ships is commented upon by the newspapers as an attempt to blackmail the Alâ€" lies, says a Paris despatch The newspapers say that the incidont must be regarded very calmly. | "Again and again during the loast two years," the paper adds, "it has | been pointed out to them that the ‘ destruction of merchant tonnage by their ruthless submarine warfare would produce a situation in which it might be totally impossible to supâ€" ply Germany herself with the food |and raw materials which she would ’need when the war ended. This is the often predicted nemesis of ‘ruthâ€" less submarine warfare.‘ ‘ "If the Allies are unable from lack: of tonnage to send sufficient coal and . food to their friends, the use of Gerâ€" man tonnage will enable them to do ; justice to their friends and at the| same time provide for their enemies,| but we are obliged to tell the Gerâ€" mans that this is the only way and if it seems harsh and repugnant they have themselves to thank for it." | Enemy to Blame for Lack of Vesse!# to Distribute Food.

The industrial upheaval plays the e| main part in the decision of the older h men. In the first rush for demobilizaâ€" . tion no man was permitted to go who d‘ had, not a definite offer of employâ€" d; ment. The government did all in its s | power to make certain that such ofâ€" . fers were bona fide, but in spite of ‘every precaution thousands of men ;) got their release on bogus papers. 1 These men soon found themselves in -;'nn unenviable position.

Now that.the war ‘is over the army is resting on its laurels, and in the groat camps around | England "work" is confined to one ,hour‘s parade a day, with football games, paper chase and other sports | to fill in the remainder of the time, | That is a considerable contrast to |eight or nine hours of monotonous | toil in a shop or factory. : The army authorities have not so ifarflmde_ public any figures on reâ€" The army authorities have not s« far made public any figures on re cruiting, but some indication is offer od by the experience of two battalions in one of the largest camps in the south of England.

Thousands of the British army who recently became so war weary that they openly threatened mutiny unless they‘ were soon discharged have turnâ€" ed about face and are volunteering for the new army, according to the military authorities of Great Britain, who assert that they are satisfied that there will be little difficulty in securâ€" ing the 900,000 men who will do Great Dritain‘s share in safeguarding the peace the Allies have won.
