A despatch from Berlin says:--The Reichstag on Thursday passed a new law fixing definitely the exact number of officers and men which the Minis- try of War will be permitted to hold The law obeys orders given by the inter-Allied Council Com- mission. The total number of Ger- many's military forees 'is not to ex ceed 100,000, including staff officers and sub-officers, the numbor of which is not to exceed four thousand. The law further provides that the number of officers to be discharged annually |? shall not be more than five per cent. of the total number of officers and men, The War Minister will be unable, therefore, to call more than 100,000 to the colors annually as was origin- ally planned, ------ "Rainmaker" Scores in Alberta | A despatch from Medicine Hat,| Alta., says:--Thursday was a great! day for "Rainmaker" Charles M.

A despatch from Ottawa saysi-- Proclamations to give effect to the result of the plebiscite held in On- tario under the Canada Temperance Act and to provide for two plebiscites was published in Sat urday's number of the Canada Gazette. The proclamation affect- ing Ontario provides that thirty days from, its publication, that is, en July 18, the sections of the Can- ada Temperance Act prohibiting im- portation of intoxicating beverages into the province shall become oper- ative. That is to say, on and after July 18, importation of such liquors, except for medicine, industrial and sacramental purposes, into Ontario will be illegal. "Another proclamation calls for a vote in New Brunswick on & date to bp fixed by the chief electoral officer, on the question whether or not importation of liquors into that province should be prohibit- ed. A third proclamation provides for a vote in Quebec City on the ques- tion whether or not the Canada Tem- perance Act should continue operative in that city. The Act has been in force in Quebec for several years, ahd it is now proposed to repeal it and allow the provincial law, which per- mits sale of beer and wine in licensed hotels and provides for sale of spirit- uous liquor through Government ven- dors to residents of the province, to take effect. --------rea-- " Fighting Forest Fires. Over a considerable portion of the province, particularly in the northern districts, forest fires continue to be # problem during periods of drought and while public agencies aro being developed for effectually meeting situations as they arise, the individ- ual is not losing his interest in praec- tical methods of combatiing flames in wooded areas. In this week's mail came some very practical suggestions from a man who has had wide ex- perience in protecting forests against damage by burning, and with-the ap- proach of that season of the year when dry spells are common, it would seem to be appropriate to give pub- licity to the suggestions. The best time to attack a forest fire, he states, is at the break of dawn. At that time a half-dozen men will ! accomplish more than fifty men can expect to do at two o'clock in the afternoon. From seventy-five to nine- ty. per cent. of the perimeter of a surface fire actually goes out without any human 'assistance whatever be-: fore sunrise, but if nothing is done | while the flames are at low ebb, they will, by the middle of the forenoon, have abain started sufficiently to pre- sent an unbroken front. A forest fire naturally proceeds in the general direction of the wind, burning an eliptical shaped area with head, flanks and tail. The most ef- fectual places to attack are at the head and flanks. If one can have only a single tool to fight the forest flames he should choose the shovel. With this he can cut the edge of the surface fire and throw it back. He can also throw dirt on burning embers to re« duce the temperature and to exclude oxygen. The plow is likewise a good tool, where it can be used, to limit the area of the fire by plowing a nar- row strip across the path of the flames. Where there is danger from these fires the community should be * organized to get out in force upon a moment's notice.
