HUGHES TO Rk TO EUROPE NEXT MONTH ABOUT CANADIAN MEMORIALS The Sites Chosen--Nothing Definite Has Been Decided As To The Kind of the Mamorials. Brig.-Gem; H. T. Hughes, who pre- vious to the war was engineer offi- cer of the 3rd Military district, but who is now chief engineer of Battle Exploits Memorial Commission which is arranging to erect memor- fals in France and Belgium in mem- ory of the Canadians who gave their lives in the war, states that he ex- pects to return to Europe some time next month for the purpose of pro- ceeding with the work of preparing for the memorials. He returned from France and Belgium last Dec- ember, and has been staying in King- ston. At the present time there 1s a bill tabled in the House of Commons ask- ing for one quarter of a million dol- lars to be voted to commence the work. If this sum fs voted, it will only be a starter as a great deal of money will be required' before the 'work is completed. A good portion of this money ich is being asked for will be u in building roads and for other construction necessgry to reach the sites where the memor- als will be located. When asked if any definite. sites had been chosen Gen. Hughes said that the commission had decided on the following locations: St. Julien, i-| Passchendaele, Hill 62 (Observatory Ridge) Hill 145 (Vimy Ridge), Dury Cross Road, Bourlon:Wood, Courcel- lotta, Hospital Wood near Le Quens- n Gen. Hughes stated that nothing | definite had been decided as to the kind of memorigl which would be erected for reason that considerable time would be taken in the prepar- atory work. The general stated that people of France and Belgium were getting back to work again. When he visited the city of Cambrai, which was held dy the Germans during the wir, he | found that things were being read- ¢ | justed. In the city of Arras consider- able construction was under way and would not be very long before things would be almost normal again. When he was in that city, men were busy rebuilding the large railroad station. Any Canadians who were in that city during the year 1918 can well re- member how the Hun 'used to shell that station with his long range gun.

Much interest is being taken in & new and most ingenious contrive ance, the invention of a British ofi- cer, Col. Bus ; for saving the lives of flying men when their machines fall into the sea. Under such circumstances the or- dinary sirplane, weighed down by its 'heavy engine, sinks quickly, dragging with. it: the 'occupants.

Under ordi nary conditions, collapsed, they have very small bulk and oppose no ap- preciable resistance to 'the air. In case of an accident they can be readily inflated at a few moments' notice, attaining a diameter of about three feet. This the aviator accom- plishes by pressing a button which releases avalveandallows compressed air to flow into the balloons from flasks contained within the body of the machine. Thus provided with means of sup- port on the water, the machine, if it falls or is compelled to alight upon the sea; cannot sink. If no help is near at hand, it will float for days while those on board await rescue by some passing vessel--a prospect opeful by the fact that the airplane, upheld by its balloons, is a conspieugus object, Otr own and other navies are do- ing much 16 develop the flying boat, which is assuming some new and very curious forms. In one of them the propeller is neither 'at the head nor the tail of the maghine, but actually in the middle of #ts body. Another is built, for running on land or water (when not in the-air), its wheels be- ing drawn up outbof the way when it is starting from or alighting upon the surface of the sea. . § -- - "Kava" Is Samoan Beverage.

J. Laflamme, who had left her at home alone. Serviss and Gallinger were on a westbound freight train which arriy- ed at Coteau Junction. Noticing smoke and flames issuing from a house' near the railway line, they held the train and rushed to the house, the door of which they found locked. They smashed in the door and hearing cries on the second Sloor made their way upstairs with diffi- culty on account of the suffocating smoke. The flames had also spread to the stairs and they were in great danger of being cut off from escape. On reaching the upper floor, Ser- Yiss and Gallinger found the child in bed, undressed and crying lustily. I the meantime other employees of th: railroad and persons waiting at the station for trains had gathered and they raised a cheer as Conductor Ser- viss emerged from the burning bufld- ing carrying the infant in his arms, They gained the street just in the nick of time, the roof of the house falling in as they passed out of the door. The child would certainly have met death had not the krainmen gone to her rescue, sei Lipton Seventy Years Old. London, May 12.--Sir Thomas Lip- ton on Monday celebrated his seven- tieth birthday.
