CAiit0_, April 12.--Nearly a thou-

sand Turkish prisoners taken by the British- troops in the fighting along the Sue ,canal are interned at Toura. in buildlngs which were formerly the Egyptian” Governl:nent’s small arms factory. There are twelve Turkish of- ficers, who are separated from the rank and file by a barb-wire fence run- ning.arol_lnd their quarters. They have a large room with rugs, beds ulld bedding, racks for their kits and clothing. a messroom equal to those _seen in British officers' quarters and bathrooms. Papers and books in Ara- bic are .supplied them regularly. Most of them purchased new clothing out of money advanced for this purpose.

These oillcers draw half the resu-

lar pay of their rank from _the British ofllccs, although the pay from their 'own treasury is said to be several months-in arrears.

The meals quarters include one

large dormitory hall and several small~ er rooms. The men are ill big squads each, under a sergeant. Their clothes. furnished hy the Government, include a dark blue uniform suit of drill, un- derwear, handkerchiefs, fezes, boots, slipperio and socks. -

LONDON, April 12.-The Petrograd

correspondent to the London Times

telegraghs that the Russian advance into th Hungarian Valley by way of the southern slopes of the Beskid mountains, on the part of the enemy in various directions. Not only have the enemy's counter attacks been re- pelled but he is evidently suspending them from fear of menace to his com- munioations.

In the directions of Rostlck Pass

and Stryk. actions have assumed a severe character owing to the em emy's receipt of large reinforcements with the object of penetrating our lines, while especially in the Ros. tck direction Austro- Germans have been endeavoring to isolate the Czar‘s forces advancing into Hungary from East. Galicia. This attempt. however, evidently* failed as is evidenced by .large bags of prisoners in this region. Generally speaking the Russian ad- vance encounters serlous obstacles only in the direction of Rostck and Uzsok Passes. in other sections the Austrians are striving merely to pre- vent a junction of the Russian forces qperating in various parts of the front.

Thus the enemy's efforts are mainly

defensive though owing to the import- ance of this theatre. their resistance is of a particularly desperate nature,

BISHOP OF LONDON VISITS CANADIANS.

LONDON, April 12.-interesting de-

tails regarding the work of the chap- lains of the Ctlnatliali Division since thc contingent left England have been received. Tile number of chaplains has been reduced to eleven. They are now mostly dis- tributed in the clearing hospitals. where they get ill close touch with those who most immediately -need ministration. [Tp till recently the senior chaplains were taking long- journeys, all over the rear of the fight- illg` line, visiting various Canadian ullits. who were distributed at many different parts.

The Bishop of London, whose visits

to Canada will always he remembered, visited a certain portion of file Cana- dian detachment. His Lordship met several Canadian soldiers wllo had been confirmed by him when he was Bishop of Stepney, anti who after- wards emlgrated to Canada. The Bishop of London spent the whole Easter festival with the troops in the field.

Canadian chaplains are impressed

at the wonderful efliciency of medical arrangements. The nearer you get to flglltlng the better are the t'eedi_ng arrangements.

MONTREAL, April ip.--John E.

Coin. whoplays the part of Jiggs Ma- UOHGY. lu “Bringing Up Father," at the Princess Theatre next week, has a weakness for horse racing. Some years ago when he was playing an eli- gagement in Allentown, he managed to escapetlle clutches of the bookmakers with just enough carfare to take him back to town. The hotel clerk forgot to. call him and he awoke In the' morn- ing only to learn that the company had

Without any money Cain boarded

the next train in the hope that the con- ductor would permit him to ride to New York where there would be no dif- fliflllll' in getting money to pay his fare.

The comedian was afraid, however,

to make a clean breast of the situation tearing the conductor would stop the train and eject him he framed up a story. When the conductor arrived he told him that\he was a reporter for a certain New York daily and he had come to Allentown to cover the__Fair for his editor. He stated that he had |081 his money at tho moss, but lr rn- lowed to go through to New York he would get the necessary money to pay his fare, from the proprietor of the paper.

"Oh, that's all right." assured the

conductor. “By the way, the prop;-le. tor oi’ your paper is in the smoker; come in and _see him." '

Cain felt certain that a whole lot of

trouble was brewing for him, but he made up his mind to bluff his way out 'of it if possible; and he followed the Conductor. who introduced him to a dignified looking man. who shook hands with-the actor,

The conductor departed almost im-

THE PATIENT RUSSIAN SOLDIER

, .Professor Paros, acting for the _Press Bureau as tlle_l'_tn_ssdan “Eye Witness' in the Eastern Zone of lilo War, writing recently from all ull- -named place, says:-

I set out into in the evening for n

_forward ambulance post attached to a `famous fighting division. Our earl was stacked. with necessaries for the sol- -(liars.

Ou the descent ofa hill we tllrned ill

to a Polish llut. It was two fairly large apartments with a large stove and an eartheru floor. In thc inner room lived'the six sisters of Mercy; in .the outer were an interesting anti strange collection. Along one side lay -a big bed, on which, crosswise, sat or

islept the Polish peasant. his wife, two

ldaughters and a little son; in a' corner. on a heap of boxes which he had to arrange each night, slept the young priest. a monk whom l had met else- where and one of the most spiritual

,men 'whom l have known. 'ine two Sanitars and myself made o r _beds each night beneath the windows (one *lf which was smashed). removing them each day to make room for the common dinner table. By the stove or anywhere else our soldier servants slept on straw.

ing pntience of a Russian soldier, and it is loo big a thing that oneshould get tired of speaking of it. A doctor at Vorlt here tells me how constantly it

SOME BREAD PUDDINGS

With the price ot' wheat flour soar-

ing, it is surely incumbent on cvery housewife who looks well to the thrift- iness of her manage to see that no lefi~ovcr scraps ol' broad are wasted. Today it may he profitable to discuss two excellent anti inexpensive pud- dings that t-_nll_ bc made l`rom dry bread.

"Bread pudding" as made in many

households, that is to suy. bread tulxed with milk anti egg into a sort of custard, is frequently a haphazard dish. Sometimes It is too hard;'at others too soft. Often it is over- cooked so that it becomes "watel_'y."

if the housewife will once get ilxed

in her mind tht-_ proportions of milk, bread and egg that are necessary for a custard of good texture, and will keep-to these proportions whatever the size of' the pudding sho wishes to make she may expect uniform suc- cess in her brood puritlings.

These proportions are as follows:

To each cup of fine bread crumbs add two cups of milk, two eggs and hall a cup of sugar. This. surely is not difiicult to remember. The flavour- ing may be varied in a number oi ways. A little butter added always makes a richness to the pudding and one must not forget the salt. tl _half teaspoonful for each cup of bread crumbs.

For fiavouring. vanilla may be llsetl.
