THINK- KIPLING MISTAKEN

LONDON. Jan. 25.——In a recent ar- ticle‘ Rudyard Kipling wrote: “Eng- lands new armies are humorous be- cause for all our long faces, we arc thc only genuinely humorous race on earth."

Tile Evening News has been col- lecting opinions regarding this "dar- ing assertion."

E. V. Lucas thinks that Mr. Kipling probably meant. “facetlous" instead of "humorous," for hc says. "Humor implies imagination. and iii imagina- UOH W0. us u race. arc not rich."

F‘. Anstey also dlsscnts from Mr. Kipllnghi view, saying: "if such ll claim were seriously mailc, l should regard it as dangerously near tho German boost that their nation arc the solc poasessors of genuine cul- ture. Perhaps Mr. Kipling meant to include our American cousins under ‘wc‘."

Waiter Emanuel elder the British tlon and says:

GLASGOW, Jan. 25.—~The tartan kilt should be used during the war ing all the remonstrancea the War Oiilce seem determined that the drab kilt shoul dbe used during the war. There is, of course, the question of personal safety to consider. A tartan kilt is almost as good o. target as the Frenchman's red trousermwhich have. for the time at least, been replaced with grey unmentlonnblea. The grcnl- est objection to the drab kilt has been that it is not sufficiently thick and does not lie about the legs in such n comfortable way as the tartan. and that for this reason the men will not be able to keep so fit. A chill ls. of course. a much more awkard illness on the battlefield than it ls at home. It does seem as if the London lady who knitted the little woolen pettlcouts for the Highlanders had got a hint from the War Oillce of the coming change. Tho only satisfactory point in the ag- itation ls that Lord Kitchener emphat- ically states that there ls no intention of interfering with the (rharacteristic dresses worn by our Scottish regi- ments in times of peace.

A OANADIAN‘S SURPRISE.

Some more letters arrived in Scot- land this week from the ill-fated Em- press of Ireland, which sank in the St. Lawrence six months ago. These ill- cluded letters to a Kirkiston lady coll- taining photographs of her (Zanadlan friends. When the photographs arriv- ed one of those friends. who is llcre with the Canadian Contingent and at present on leave from Salisbury Plain received from the postman tho water- stuiued lcricr which he had himself posted in Canada six months ago.

THE HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.

There is o feeling llcrc that “the women from Ilell," as the Germans call the llighund regiments, have scarcely got due praise ill the olllclal despatchcs of Sir John lfriexicll. It has been quite cvldclil. that they have been ill the thick of llic lighting. Tllc Rev. J. E. Adams, wllo has been acting chaplain to the (Jordon Highlanders. is home again and ill a sermon in the West United Free (Jliurch at Aberdeen he told all affecting story of the sol- diers’ hardships and their interest in Christianity. (Iatliolics had accepted his administrations gladly. The First Gordons, he asked—-wliere were they? There were still some of the 2nd hilt- talion. Ilc believed that. after u fum- ous battle tho roll call iliscovcrcil lllut there were 120 men and 3 oillccrs lcft. They went out 1,000 strong and 3i of a mess, and- when you spoke to the officers they declined to talk of tho things that had happened.

THE FAIR CITY DEFAMED.

Perth lTuited Free Church Presby- tery has been urging very storngly that this country should adopt prohib- ition (luring lilo war and recently they sent. resolutions on the subject lo the Plimc lllinlster and other politicians. including thc Marquis of 'l‘ullibardiue. At Tuesdays meeting the reply of the Marquis was the subject of discussion and on lllc whole His Lordship Ililll rather the worst of it. Ill his letter tllc Marquis expresses llle opinion that early closing and not prohibition would he advisable. Druukcuncss am- ong soldiers, he declares, is due en- tirely by tllc temptations put ill their way in the localities in which they may be situated; He points out that at Bedford and Kefferilig, where the civil population realized their respon- sibilities and public houses were pul out of bounds at on early hour. there was little or no drunkenness; willie he was at Perth "whiskey was litcral- ly forced down illc throats“ of the men.

The Presbytery showed that the re sponslbility for the situation did not lie with them. They pointed out that it lay with the military authorities to place public houses out of bounds. that they had urged the Provost mid iho sheriff to take action, but that their doputaiions had been ullablc to get anything done. Further. while lllc soldiers were at Scone Palace Park. tho United Free (Ihurch Guild had two tents in which recreation and concerts were givcn every day. The amusing side of thc luattcr is that Lord Tulli- bnrdinc is a Unionist, and that pariy is rather adverse to interfere with the liquor trade, and that the United Free Church, which is largely liberal. is now going lo use ills letter which they regard as an ofllcial iIOClllllfllll to fur- ther the restriction which they have always advocated. The Provost of Perth declares that lilo fault lies ill u lack of proper discipline. and the Fair City, as n. whole. is rather indignant ut having thc responsibility put on their shoulders. '

BERWICWS DANGEROUS GUNS.

in the olden days llerwick on Twccd was sometimes in England and some- times in Scotland. ll all depended on the wars. Although it is now on llic other side of the border. i am annex- ing lt this week for the purpose of this letter because Scotsman are keen- ly int ested in the old town.
