Scotland Yard issued a notice requesting the public not to sub- scribe to one of the leading war babi- es' fund. The Bishop of London declares the agitation was a large bubble -which now is exploded. General Booth of the Salvation Army, declares after careful enquiry that the bulk of the scandalous stor- ies spread about the morals of the troops were sharnefully false. There is real trouble about the effect of the war on infant life in London. The infant death rate? averaged for the last thirteen weeks 209 a week more than the births over 400 a week less than last year. This is largely attribut- ed to the increased cost of living and the anxiety of the women. was launched by F. E. Armstrong, who with R. J. Younge, constitutes the management. With the commer- cial doors of the allied nations closed after the war, to a large extent agaihst Germany and Austria, he said, and with the great demand there would _be by united nations for goods there would be magnificent oppor- tunities for the factories of Britain and Canada. He urged the mem- bers of the Association to exert every effort to prepare for that time.

COPYRIGHT PHRASE It was suggested in the conclusion of the report that the phrase “Made in»,Cannda" be _copyrighted for those actually participating in the Canadian campaign. ' The discussion on the recently or- ganized Export Association of Canada Mr. Henderson said to a Canadian Press representative today that the future never looked brighter for Can- adian manufacturers. The future of Canada is assured when one looks at the way the Canadian manufacturers have taken up the manufacture of ar- ticles never attempted before. The success of the Canadian manufacturer in the manufacture of war munitions was remarkable. Now that we have got right down to a real rock-bottom basis the future of Canada commer- pially is brighter than it ever was be- ore. Mr. Ross, the manufacturing head of the American Can Company. Mont- real. also struck the note of optimism and held that Canada had not half tapped~her resources. ~ 5 l I 1 i l \ l , 1 I. mlthamwatches U .

C..” A private in the R. A. M. C., writes as follows: We were the first ambulance into Neuve Chapelle, and we had a very lively time clearing away suffering humanity and dodging “Jack John- sons" bodies as plentiful as pebbles on the seanbeach. Every man, whether Indian or Eng- lish, whether as a fighter or as a patient, deserves the V. C., they all worked to the finish. One case in par- ticular 1 shall always remember -a fine Scotch Guardsrnan we brought in after lying in the field for four days without food and having six wounds, all bad. Not moan, groan, or com- plain-took it all cheerfully and as a matter of course. We made as big a fuss of him as we _could and time would allow, but I was not the only one who thanked God I was an_Eng- ilshman when we looked st this monu- ment of pluck and national spirit. At present we are standing by and having a rest, which is very welcome. altho- ugh our billets are not so comfortable as pevriously experienced--about 50 of us sleep over a cowshed in a loft with a concrete floor and minus many tiles in the roof-but active service 'being the real thing, I do not expect a feather bed. -' ' We have established several hos- pitals since landlng here, and I have been most things. At_the last hos- pital, was in the operating theatre, very good and very interesting. Be- fore every big engagement every man goes into the iield as a bearer, and then his troubles start. Two days and one night on six biscuits. Have the numerous escapes, and many times be- ing well within a foot of suddenly de- parting from the earth. The “Jack Johnsons" are terrible affairs. Only earth and stones caused by their ex- plosion have so far struck me. The type of German on our front I am very disappointed with; he is small, in fact undersized, no particu- lar shape, wears glasses; his ofllcere are, however, fine men. As we captur- ed hundreds. I have seen them in big batches, and they do not require a lot of persuading to surrender. ' EXPERIENCE OF ASPHYXIATING GASE8. A young Glasgow man, Private Har- ry Roberts, Royal Warwickshire, is now inthe Deaconess Hospital, suffer- ing from the effects of the asphyxist- ing gases used by the Germans. Ii: seems that the Warwickshires went to the assistance of the Canad- lans in their time of stress at St. Julien, and Private Roberts was in the trenches when the second great wave of gases came floatins BCPOBS 'from the German lines. “A thick, greenish-yellow cloud,” Private Rob- erts remarked, describlng the incident, "We prepared to run for it for no man could live through such a thing as yon. Just as _it approached our lines, however, the wind changed. and carri- ed the cloud back towards the German trenches.i But our relief was only momentary. We were being heavily shelled, andkthe shells were gass shells. Men were dropping senseless on all sides. Our officers decided that there was nothing for it but to retire. If we 'stayed much longer in the trenches it was certain that every man'of us would be wiped out. My lungs seemed like to burst, and my whole body felt as if it was full of nnedles. We decid- ed to run for it. We tore across a couple of fields, and made for a line of trenches behind. The air outside the trenches was no better than the de. The fumes seemed to have ‘ air insi poisoned the whole atmosphere. How I managed to cover any dis- tance at all beats me. l felt every D10- ment that I must collapse. I was once ` nearly drowned; the sensation on both occasions was the sage. Things be- gan to swim about in ont of me and l dropped.

The moderate and responsible or- gans'of the Austro-Hungarian press of war, recalling the lmniemorial friendship of Great Britain and Aue- tria, dbploring the fact that it was broken, and resigning themselves to the inevitable-but there was a gen- eral impression that the two countries would never be in the position of ex- changing active hostilities, but were, as regarded one another, the victims of circumstance. ' ' My misfortunes threw me into ex- clusively mllitary clclres during the first three months of the war, and though, as a prisoner, the discussion of politics was, of course, barred to me, I passed,through the hands of several custodians. With them I dis- cussed things on several occasions, and I gathered that they held the opin- ion to which I have alluded above. Since the character of the campaign began to alter the trend of public opinion in Austria has also begun to change, and this alteration has been very much fostered by the tone of the 'press. EFFECT OF FALSE NEWS. I have been able to see the effect 'pr duced upon popular and _official opInion in Austria by the reputed treatment of Austrians in England, and the practical effect it has had up- on the treatment of British subjects in the Austro~I-Iungarian Empire. The severity (compared to the treatment of other nationalities) which is at pre- sent be\ng exercised against _their British prisoners is simply looked up- on as an act or reprisal for the hard- ships which Austrians are supposed to be undergoing in England. And this is where the quotations with which I began these reflections operates. It is, of course, impossible for us to know actually what is happening in this connection. All we know is that the number of Austrians interned in England enormously exceeds that of the British in a similar position in Austria, and than an enormous numb- er of Germans are in custody in Eng- land at tthe present moment. Under these circumstances, the necessity is evident of keeping a tight hold over all subjects of' countries with which wt are at war, until it is possible to differentiate with certainty between suspects and peaceable citizens of a foreign and unfriendly Power. The authorities andthe public here have firmly got hold of tha opinion that Austrian subjects generally are being severely treated in England. They have, without any doubt, mixed up their own fellow-countrymen with the Germans of whom there are such masses in England, and a great many of whom are undoubtedly open, to the gravest suspicion. This view is great- ly encouraged by the Press, and the consequence is that all the bitterness of Austria, as of Germany, is now con- centrated against Great Britain. _I doubt if Serbia itself is more unpopu- lar in Austria today than the country which has nothing against her, and against which she has nothing. The practical form which this feeling tak- es is that of reprisals against British subjects interned in the Austro-Hun- garian Empire. _ SPECIAL BRITISH RESTRICTIONS » My own personal experience is de- rived from the colony at Raabs. a pic- turesque little town in Lower Austria, where are confined the better-toula prisoners. who can afford to pay for their keep. About the other places in the neighborhood I have no knowledge Ainonbst the inhabitants of Rasbs nt present are two British and one French officer, who were unable to get out of the country before the re- spective declaratioas ‘of war. These gentlemen having given their parole nm to try and escape from the place of their confinement, are allowed cer- tain privileges which are not accord- ing to the civilians. I am far from suggesting that anyone at Ra_abs is ill-treated, but, of course, liberty is very restricted, and there are differ- ent rules for the Britisn as compared _with other prisoners-French, Russ- ians, and Serbs. The rule which, ac- cording to the newspapers prevents Austrians in England showing them- selves in public, has been replied to here by forbidding the English even to take their meals in the two or three inns ofthe place. (This does not apply to the oillcera.) They are also do arrod from taking part in any spans or pastimes, such as skating etc., and have to bo in their own af- partmaats by eight o'olooa evsryalsnt. roo1‘a'A|.|._ nlauars av ruoua.

Edward Stuart, Wortley, commanding a. British army corps in France, describes the horrors of death from the asphyxisting gases used by the German troops. The strong expressions employed in the letter gain additional point from the fact that General Stuart-Wortley was formerly on terms of considerable in- timacy with the Kaiser, and when, a few summers ago, Emperor Wilhelm was ordered by his physicians to spend several weeks by the seashore in the South of England, the general placed at the Kaiser's disposal his country seat on the Hampshire coast. General Stuart-Wortley's letter fol- lows: “You will of course have read of the fighting that.has been going on around Ypres lately. and _of the magnificent behavior of the Canadian division. In their attack on the Ypres salient, the Germans made use of as- phyxisting gases. This gas is dissem- inated both in shells and bombs, and also from cylinders which are buried in the trenches, with`thelr nozzles pushed through the parapets. The tops of the cylinders are then turned on, and the gas. which ls, as far as we know, chlorine, is pumped out. The gas, which is heavier than air sinks into dur trenches, and kills or incapacitates any men who happen to be in them. The effect of the gas can also be felt back ds far back as ache and smartlng of the eyes. ’ A DAMNABLE EFFORT “The German papers as well as falsely accusing us of making use of poisonous fumes, apparently defend their conduct by stating that the dis- semination of this gas results in a swift and painless death for those -..._ "‘INEf" “"5 , _ ' _ THE cnsamrrsrowu G_UA1__u>1An_ ‘ of _ _ _nf-.cs me mul IJIIIMIII SIITIUII f HIS _SIIIIIIIIIIIIHID _.....- (8poclai to *Ile Guardian.)
