More than 1,000,000 Frenchmen have been killed in war and 1,500,- 000 are physically unfitted by their injuries to carry on their farm work. The women are managing the farms and doing most of the farm work. In battle zones, such/`as the Cham- pagne district, women did not for- sake their work in the fields even when German shells were bursting around them. When the -eannonad- ing was heavy they lay flat on the ground and as soon as there was a lull they would be up attending to their grape-vines. The wives of French farmers have always helped their husbands in the fields. They now do double duty, rising earlier and working later. Horses were con- scripted for the army and French women have taken their place to draw the plows and harrows. Food production in France despite the ef- forts of women ,children, old men and `cripples, has dropped to one- ` third. MY LADY S PERSIAN LAMB There are probably few people in Canada who have ever ___,riven a. thou5_rht as to whence the beautiful Persian Lamb furl, that ladies` so much affect for their outdoor gar- ments, is derived. In 1909, accord- ing," to apamplilet issued by the Live Stock Branch of the Depart- ment of A}_:ric11lt111'c, at Ottawa, the first importation of Karakule sheep was 'l)I`0l1_;'lliZ into America, with the object of producing on this side of the water what is known to the trade as Persian Lamb, Broadtail. and Astrakhan fl'urs. This first impor- tation consisted of fifteen head, ten ewes and five rams. Other impor- tations to the United States follow- ed in 1913 and 1914, with the re- sult that dnrin_ this time some fifty-l'our Karakules were imported. the n1ajorit_\' of which were rams. the purpose being to mate these with the domestic sheep. It was l ro1n these importations to the United States that the first Kara- kule sheep to_ arrive in Canada were obtained, when in the latter part 01' 1913 flocks were established in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The i'ollowin'g_" year other importa- tions were made and several flocks were established in Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Alberta. At the present time there are between five and six hundred _rrade Karaknles in Canada produced by crossing: Kara- kule rams with long-wool breeds of sheep and approximately one. hundred rams and ewes. either im- ported or descended from imported stock. The pamphlet from which this intolrniation is obtained can be had free on application to The Publications Branch of the Depart- ment ot' A5_rri-culture, Ottawa.

Scientists have become interested in the discovery and a small room in the Victorial and Albert .\Iuseun1 has been set aside for an exhibit of the work.

Looking fresh and youthful, with a wonderfully clear pink and white complexion like a child's, Miss Law gives tha impres- sion of being self-possessed and level- headed. She has blue eyes, nely-cut features, an unusually pleasant smile, and is very attractive in the military costume. Miss Law has been ying since 1912. Her rst ight was made at Marblehead, the mili- tary aviation school just outside` Boston. The -school in those days was not under Government control. Her instructor was the famous Amer- ican yachtsman, Mr. W. Starling Burgess. She has own from Chi cage to New York, a distance of 950 miles, in nine hours and one minute. This was a reoord-breaker, and Miss Law still holds the palm for the American long-distance ight. This was made in a Wright airplane. rm-.....1n chi: nnnparn in he -vet-v made ID. 8 Wrlgnt. a.u`p1a.uI:. Though she appears to be very young, Miss Law has been married ve years.

Von Hindenburg relies upon him to 9. large extent, and the Ber- liners are said to have nicknamed him Field Marshnl "Was-sagst-du?" This -is the result of his answering questions so frequently by turning to Von Ludendortl and saying "What do you say?" The dognomen, one ` can be assured, is not at all relished by the idol of the German nation.

SOLDIERS ARE GROWING FOOD. This \Vork Is Considered Second In Importance Only to Fighting. Food growing is second in import- ance only to ghting.

Every military camp in the United Kingdom, every German prisoner's camp, and every aerodrome has been brought within the area of military agricultural operations.

Being in good physi- cal condition, their morale will soon become very good, and then we try to amuse them, all oicers striv- ing to discover something new for their units. Some have plays. others challenge their comrades to football games or to grenade-throwing ma.tches--all of which has also a very good eirect in developing that esprit de corps which is so important. The esprit de corps makes every man feel proud to belong to his unit, for he proclaims that this unit is the best or all in the French armies a d that all men of this unit are a e lot. That esprit de corps will make them perform wonderful achieve- ments in order to outdo neighboring units. But the exaltation ot the morale is really the work of the cm- cers; they are in close touch with the men and have their condence. They will point out to them the rea- sons why they fight, they will tell them why they must be condent _of success. they will ve them some indications as to how the next bat- tle .will be fought and the reasons why a success is expected-namely. the great superiority in guns, in am- munition, in infantry, and in morale that we shall have in this particular sector. Then, as the training goes on, the men will feel and realize their superiority over the enemy. Another sentiment which must be inculcated into every ghter is a strong hate for the Boche, a strong desire to meet him, to ght him, and to beat him.-Capt.

The power of the Kaiser consists in practice far less in what he can prevent than in what he can pro.- mote. From top to bottom, civil life is controlled by the long line of his servitors, whose interest always lies in courting his favor as well as in avoiding his displeasure. To be a guest at his table. to be the reel- pient of his condence, to be re- warded with a word of his approval, is a passport to esteem in every com- .munity of Germany. By the ignorant, obedience to his will is regarded as a religious duty. To inculcate this duty on the part of the people is esteemed a service to the state. To glorify the state on all occasions, therefore, becomes an official oblig- , ation which it is deemed a grave de- 2 linquency to disregard. Whyeshould even chemists, or physicists, or ma- : thematicians-not to speak of histor- : ians and philosophers, who must dis- cuss such matters--be expected to obstruct their own promotion by a failure to meet this expectation? And when in time of need a manifesto, declaring the innocence of the Ger- man army in the invasion of Belgium and its right to impose the superior- ity of German culture upon neigh- boring peoples, was passed around for signature by the most eminent university professors and men of science in the Empire, for the pur- pose of balancing this violation of neutral soil by the weight of their great authority, what wonder that they were induced to sign a false and purely dogmatic statement in open contradiction of documentary evi- dence in the hands -of every scholar in every neutral-`country? ` r- `I?nnurini7.._nA1`snn'a.nV manv Of the i In every neutrazr I.'ouuu`,_y: Knowlngr. personally many `the ninety-ghree distinguished Germans who signed this manifesto in 1914, it is difcult to `believe that they were actuated by mere vulgar fear of -what might `happen to them if `they refused to sign. Their act was the fruit of twenty-llve years of`subser- vience so habitual that'they solemn- ly proclaimed a falsehood because they had been accustomed to think that whatever the Emperor ordered could not be wrong.
