The English writer sald: "Even be- fore the war there were superfluous women in' England to the number of over one and one-half millions.

These women are there to stay, for there will not be sufficient men to marry them." SL BAGDAD OF THE CALIPHS. Now a City of Crumbling Mosques - and Dilapidated Palaces. One of the picturesque contrasts of- fered by the 'war, writes Mr. H. M. Allen, is that. of the khaki-clad Brit- ish soldiers. 'contending with Germans and Turks amid the 'ruins of Mesopo- tamia.. Across the very plains where once swept: the war chariots of the Chaldeans are now 'moving the armed motors of Germany and England. In the rivers where the Babylonian and Persian barges once plied, the shal- low-draft gunboats that fly the Union Jack now manoeuvre. British aero- planes have already been seen fly- ing across the skies that looked down upon Harun-al-Rashid, and a German Zeppelin may be reported to-morrow hovering over the bazaars where the Commander of the Faithful delighted to wander. The visitor to Bagdad recalls that it was the capital of a domain reaching from Spain into Africa and trom Africa to India, and he knows that Harun-al-Rashid was once its ruler. | These facts have been inscribed on the | Ir ugh. the | me- Babe," "Sind- " and other delightful phrabisn Nights' " tales.

Their own interlocking associations with the them to speak out. So they use Hard- 'en for their purpose. When Harden declares that if the German people's real sentiments could be expressed the end of the war would be in sight he is talking not for himself but for Ger- many's gagged and muzzled men of affairs. The Government's- attitude toward the demands of these classes is that public discussion of the war would "injure us abroad" and "under mine domestic unity." This is the crusaders' reply, made in their name by Harden: "Yt is not what Schmidt or Schultz thinks about the conduct and object: of the war which damages us abroad. What hurts our prestige is the figure we. have cut for nearly two years now of a flock of docile sheep driven be- fore a merciless shepherd. Our ene- mies are listening to the right . the left, but can nowhere hear wha! the will of the German people is. If they could, we would be near to the peace which is to-day possible, and which only . niracle can improve." illness PRAISE FOR CANADIANS. British 'Staff Officer Says They Have * Done Wonderful Work. Lord Tennyson, writing in the Lon- don' Times, encloses a letter of an English staff officer in France: "The Canadians have done won- derfully well, and we are proud of fighting with them," he says. "The way they fought to recover the lost trenches was a lesson to everyone. We shall never forget it. They are 'the most hospitable and self-denying lot, and they will Mar the last crust or drop of water with any of us who need it. We have the greatest ad- miration for them after 'the recent fighting."

Those who conceive of the so-called "big push" as one great continuous movement along the whole front cher- ish an uninformed conception of the true situation. The big drive now tak- ing place is the composite result of many smaller drives. The main sig- nificance of this movement lies in the fact that these small pushes are a part of a co-ordinated plan, including the Italian, Russian and Balkan fronts with the western. The British drive [between Arras and the Somme is not the hurling of an army of over 2,- 000,000 men against the German lines as interpreted by some of the headline writers in the papers. This vast army will not be hurled en masse. So far as developed, it is primarily a powerful, localized attack intended to relieve pressure at Verdun. At least, that appears to be its object, but also to realize such strategic gains as will lead to further successful offensive movements after adequate preparation for them. In choosing the sector south of Ar- ras for the attack, the British greatly surprised their foe. The sector north of Arras has been the favorite fighting ground because the positions held by the British are within close reach of important strate- gic points in the German front. Vimy- Ridge commands the plains that sur- round Douai and Lens. The-capture of these cities would seriously m Lille, and the fall of Lille would de- moralize the military organization of the Germans along the Artois front. But by striking south of Arras the strongly defended region north of it may be weakened, and the way pre- pared for a second blow that will prove more effective than those hither- to dealt on the sector from Arras to La Bassee. The significant thing is that the in- {tiative on all the fronts is now with the Allies--and this for the first time gince the war began. It looks as though the first sen- tence in the first paragraph of the last chapter is being written, and the doom of the Hun is sealed. Let us hope that the end is near. iri THE SELKIRK TUNNEL. Will Cost the C. P. R. $12,000,000 at the Least. The Selkirk tunnel will be through in the fall, according to the C.P.R. of- ficials. This is another of the notable things to which the company has put its hand--a tunnel six miles through a mountain whose peaks pierce the clouds--a tunnel which presented en- gineering difficulties almost unique. This work will 'give the public an alternative route through the moun- tains; it will save six miles of snow iheds; it will eliminate danger, and it will 'minister to the comfort and | éonvenience of: the public. The cost 'will be $12,000,000 or more. That is about the only big work the O.P.R. has been engaged in lately, but it is in- teresting to recall' that in the years a 'the war oe company used to spend between ,000,000 x 000,000 per annum in the fim bm of the West.
