He appears to have obtained informa- tion in advance of the report of his expedition, and to have acquainted himself thoroughly with the numer ous advantages which Chébucto Bay, now Halifax Harbor, had to offer to both the navy and the merchant ma- vine of England. _ Large sums of money were immediately expended upon the site. So much discernment had been displayed in the prelimin- ary work that Lord Cornwallis set- tled a community, between the fortl- fications and the water front and, In honor of the man who bad so intel- ligently paved the way for it, named the place Halifax. Two ofjthe same title have some- times confounded. George Sa- ville, Marquis of Halifax, was the first. He held high places and took a conspicuous part in the political activities of three reigns, as Baron Saville, Viscount Halifax, and, fin- ally, as the Marquis of Halifax Re- wards came to him for his participa- tion in the restoration, and to his eloquence is attributed the rejection | of 'the bill excluding the Duke of York from the succession. Because of the manner in which he accom- | modated himself to changing condi- | tions later on, he came to be known | ag a "Trimmer," a name which he adopted and defended with signal ability. Charles Montagne, Earl of Halifax, after whom the city of Halifax was called, was the second. He entered the House of Commons as member tor Maldon during the convention Parliament, and was made First Lord of the Treasury in 1697. He is sometimes called the father of the English de ince the first of the great fun measures was passed ¢.| while he was a Lord of the Treasury. When a second loan became neces sary, he met the amergency by estab- lishing a national bank, with « capi- tal of £1,200,000, the shareholders of which were to be called the Gov- | ernor and Company of the Bank of England. Partly as a consequence of his hold manners, and partly be- { cause of high party feeling, certain charges were brought against him al- leging a breach of trust -as Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, and he was impeached, but the proceedings fell through. Although out of office dur- ing the reign of Queen Anne he took an active part in. the negotiations that led to the union between Eng- land and Scotland,and in those for the 1 succession of the House of Bruns- | wick. Notwithstanding the demands of a remarkably busy career, he found time to write poetry and to befriend authors and artists. J Halifax grew up, naturally, from the water's edge, for, from the be- ginning, shipping constituted the principal industry of the community. In the course of time, the street along the water front was supple- manted by another higher up and running parallel, and eventually other thoroughfares appeared, one above another, like terraces, until they reached the fortification, known as the Ci 1, on the suminit of the hill. With the further passing of time, the city grew westward, to the north and south of the Citadel, and toward the north-western arm of the bay, The harbor, about one mile in width, terminates in a magnificent sheet of water known as Bedford Basin, which is capable of floating the navies of the world. With its suburbs the city proper extends, along the slope of the fortified hill, | over an area about three miles In | length and one mile in width.

"Likewise the city has long been one of the most important transatlantic terminals and calling stations. During recent years it has been making vast ahd costly dock and harbor improvements, and little of this work has been impiired by the recent disaster. : The recognized value of the in both a naval and a commere sense, makes it certain that Halifax | will be 'quickly, solidly, and hand~ somely rebuilt.

Colonel Kirkcaldy of Winnipeg Had Narrow Escape. i Colonel! Kirkcaldy is wounded in hospital in London. A He is doing well and is able to get about freely although still in hospital. His wound was incurred on the night of No- vember 1st, when out in No Man's Land, where his men were making a sap. . A man seventy yards away called for help. The colonel thinking he was possibly one of our own wound- pd, ordered the remainder of his party to remain behind while he moved forward, Guided by the cries he got within twenty yards. Then the caller suddenly opened quick fire on him, the second bullet erashing into Colonel. Kirkcaldy"s left shoul- der, The colonel, who carried a rifle, dropped into a shell hole and blazed away in reply. - Our troops on either side behind, not knowing that he bad gone forward and believing the Ger- mans were attacking, opened fire. Colonel Kirkcaldy was thus between two fires, Eventually he got. back to the trench, whence after some adven- tures he walked, refusing a stretcher, to the dressing station. sent him back in an ambulance, He- yond the Australian Ypres.

The other day I asked some ques- tions of a number of Canadiins-- men who have been fighting in France for two or more years-- and from all they tell me I find, to my. surprise, that I have a vital in- terest in the. Canadian general election, that every member of the British Empire has, that Australians particular nd emphatically of all, that every man in khaki has. ~ Another thing: Australia just now is in the throes'; of a struggle on this same question. of conscription. A vote is being taken on December 22. The fight is being bitterly wag- ed, and is likely to be a close thing either way. Who can doubt but that the decision of Canada--if, by some great misfortune, it goes the wrong way--will be worked to the limit is'an argument in Australia. And it won't even stop there. I do know something of Australian and New Zealand politics, being still in touch and correspondence with a good many there, and reading the down-under papers as I can get them. In New Zealand there has existed for New Zealand, to her everlasting credit, long ago lajd down the rule: "To the last man and the last shilling. and played up to her word by bringing in conscription, The '&nti- conscriptionists were beaten but hot silenced, Ever since, though they are in a minority, they have worked ustiringly against conscription. . And the Canadian pacifists, the deliberate pro-Germans, or their foolishly unsuspecting supporters, who imagine they lead where they are being blindly led, bave baited their trap with fiendish ingenuity. The great bait they rely upon is this ---that they, . the iti -conscription- 'ists, have pledged themselves if re turned to power, to bring home every padian soldier in the field who ishes to return.

Some of the smartest houses which specialize in garments for women are creating models in this fabric | which certainly before all else | should appeal to the war economy instinct. Women have been warned to con- serve wogk apd to go lightly as to silk, so naturally when they are offered garments of so humble'a fabric they will believe they & rede- monstrating their patriotism by ac- cepting it and a, calico frock will be the reward of +irtue. The calicoes that are engaging the attention of designers at the present moment are those of quaint printed effects on light grounds. It appears that many of the frocks will be given a certain lightness not expected of calico by combination with sheerer fabrics such as organ- die and net and . that the extreme femininity and quaintness will give them a distinction of their own which will not permit them to be scorned by even the most exclusive of fashionable women.--From Wo- men's Wear.
