When Napoleon was compelled lo retreat from Moscow a famous Uus
Man made the remark that Russia had two generals at least that could not
be beaten—Generals Janvier and Fevrier.
It ntav happen that one of the hostile sides now fighting in Europe may
have to add the names of Generals Novembre and Pecembre. lhe suffering
of the men in the trenches at present in the eastern and western theaters of
war must be frightful. Let us just imagine being a member of a surveying
gang out here in the woods, without tents or tires. In the fighting lines the
chances are that campfires cannot be permitted owing to the dreadful ac
curacy and range of the guns in use today. It is also certain that men can
not march long distances as the soldiers in Poland are doing and carrv grtut
loads of blankets as well as rifles.
To get an idea of what this warfare means to the poor private soldiers
we must picture trenches whose bottoms are tilled with cold mud or snow.
In the cold night the private lies shivering in a hole. Before him constantly
is the fear that this hole might be his grave. In the dense, cold darkness he
hears the thunder of the guns that are seeking his life. Then comes the
word that the enemy is about to assault and he arises with chattering teeth,
leans against the snow covered breastwork with this benumbed lingers on the
trigger. The very marrow in his bones is chilled. He is hungry. The snow
goes dow n his sleeves. His feet are w et. I he touch ot the iron of his gun al
most burns his hands. In all the universe, in heaven or earth, there is nothing
that his soul craves for so much as the warmth of a tire or a warm meal. In
this way he is reduced to the level of the irrational animal. In such a
moment the very thought of the flames of hell must bring pleasure. And
while he suffers to the limit of human endurance physically his mind must be
wracked by the thought that the fighting will continue and that if he escapes
now he is almost sure one of these days to he converted into a mangled and
torn and bloody carcass from which even his best friend would turn in disgust.
Sherman even undershot the mark, for there can be no hell so terrible.
A man who camt‘ up on the .Mariposa the other day says that the people
down in Seattle are now bemoaning the fact that Alaskans will in future give
the dry state of Washington the “gobye* as Alaskans can, of course, in their
opinion, never think of hitting a city where never again can they hang over a
bar and say “here’s looking at you." This has been regarded as an insult
to Alaskans and to get even with such a horrible suggestion it can be said
that the tables will probably be turned and instead of going to Seattle in
tuture we shall be glad to receive the thirsty souls ot Seattle. Let us re
mind them that as Oregon is also dry it will be much cheaper for them to
to come to Seward orKnik for a jag than to go to Frisco. Two years from
now you will see Seattlites entering a bar in Sward with sensations such as
Hr. Faustus must have experienced when he found his youth renewed.

LONDON, Nov. 16.—To enable the
British clergy to recognize made-in
Germany hymns, a list of them has
been prepared by the Guardian, a
church newspaper, which has opened
its columns to a discussion of the pro
priety of using these hymns in the
English sendee.
If German hymns were banned, the
English hymnal would be deprived of
some of its oldest and most popular
numbers. Luther’s famous version of
the 46th psalm, “A Sure Stronghold
our God is He.” would be perhaps the
most regretted of all excisions. Other
familiar numbers of German origin
are “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing;”
"Sun of my Soul, my Savior dear;”
Christ whose Glory fills the Skies;”
"As with Gladness Men of Old;”
“Christ the Lord is risen again;” “We
plough the Fields and scatter;” “Hail
to the Lord’s Anointed;” “Oh Happy
Land of Pilgrims,” and “Commit Thou
all Thy Ways.”
Lutheran hymns are popular not
only in the Wesleyan Methodist
church which is allied to Lutheranism,
but also in the Church of England,
which regards itself as a part of tht
ancient Catholic church and not a part
I of the reformation.
Since the Wagner nights excite as
much enthusiasm as ever in the
Queen’s Hull concerts, it is not be
lieved that the agitation against Ger
man hymns will find a strong fol
lowing.
PARIS, Nov. 16.—How an unnamed
lieutenant-colonel in the French army
stiffened the courage of his men and
his own, when they were about to
charge the enemy for the first time, is
told in the Figaro. The Colonel wound
ed, but convalescent, is decribed as re
lating the anecdote on the train as
follows:
“It was in the course of one of the
numerous battles on our right wing.
For the first time my regiment was
about to go under fire. The moment
was decisive; the regiment had their
battle formation and now it was
necessary, over open ground, to march
straight and resolutely at the enemy.
Their fire was hot, and already han
produced ravages in our ranks. It
was scourging. I had taken my posi
tion at the head of the regiment and
given the order ‘forward, but, separa
ted from their base, my men hesitated.
In vain I repeated the command . 'I hen
returning toward them I said:
“What? You flinch? All you will
gain out of this turnabout is death on
the spot without having been of any
use. Attention! Take my arm one of
you, and all of you lock arms, and arm
in arm, gun in hand, we’ll advance.
You’ll find that’s not so bad.
“My word! the idea decided them,
and arm in arm we started forward.
They soon got warmed up and for a
little I was nearly forced to hold them
back. Oh! the brave fellows! ”
A lady who was standing said:
“It was fortunate, colonel, that you
yourself were not afraid.” “Not
afraid!,” exclaimed the Colonel. “Oh,
madam if you knew what shivers went
through me. But when I saw them
hesitate, I had to set an example. I
was blurting.”
LONDON, Nov. 16.—Christian Hel
lstrom Secretary of the Olympic
Games in Stockolm 1912, when travel
ling recently in Germany and Austria
on behalf of a London company of
whom he is now manager, was sever
al times arrested as an English spy.
Once in Austria, when waiting on a
railway platform, the officials were
quite sure Mr. Hellstrom was a spy
and the crowd had already started

LONON, Nov. 16.—The announce
ment of the Lord Chief justice that
barristers who are now serving in the
king’s army may appear in court in
their uniforms, rather than in their
customary white wigs and gowns, has
produced a great change in the ap
pearance of the pleaders who attend
the daily sessions of courts at The
Temple.
Scores of young attorneys are uni
versity men who have entered the ser
vice but are stilt quartered in London
or its vicinity. It would be a great
hardship to them to sacrifice the time
necessary to put on conventional -court
garb, and the action of the Lord Chief
Justice makes it possible for many
young attorneys to look after their
pratice notwithstanding the demands
of their military offices.
LONDON, Nov. 16.—Although the
big guns used by the Germans have
been the surprise of the war and are
accredited with having caused the fall
of Liege, Namur and Antwerp, some
military experts in England question
the wisdom of carrying such weapons
into the field, regarding them as a
burden which an army cannot afford
to transport.
Colonel F. N. Maude, discussing the
heavy guns, says in The Standard:
“It would be interesting to obtain
the exact facts and calculate what
the policy of taking the 42 centi-meter
and 28 ceQti-meter howitzers into the
field really cost the Germans in loss
of transport power for the food of
the troops. I am willing to grant that
the 42-centi meter weapon was ad
mirably adapted for its purpose of
destroying steel and concrete targets J
presented by the forts of Liege and j
Namur. But seeing that the weight
of one of the shells is nearly equal to '
the weight of a whole square meal for
one of their battalions, would not the
available horsepower, whether mecha-1
nical or actual, have been far better
employed in hauling food for men to
the front in the first instance ?"
Military experts writing for the
English press say that big guns are,
not really a novelty. The new feature
is their general use in the recent cam
paigns. Heavy guns were tried in

England has constructed a more

howitzer. It is Mallet’s mortar, which
was built for use in the Crimea War
