‘ MONTREAL, 'April 14.- When the
steamshlp Bt. Cecilia, now on her
_way to Canada, arrives next Sands-Y
st,rts_ius;, it will be the mst or the
five’ , ' seels sent to fake from Canada
the gods collected or bought by the
central committee of the Belgian Re-
lief.Fund for the sufferers in the land
of the Belgians. which has not been
sent by the British Admiralty. ‘ This
vessel has been arranged for by Chair-
man'l;Ioover‘in the central committee
at London, and. like the others, it
will take the goods to Belgium free of
al_l charge for freight.
ln anticipation of her coming” the
central' committee of the Belgian Re-
lief Fund here is buying 100,000 bus-
hels of wheat, and they are 3,000 tons
of'goods already in Halifax awaiting
the new_`boat’s arrival. -This will give
the St. Cecilia a cargo of 6,400 tons.
which isiitsicapacity. The total cost
of thig- cargo_,_will be $460,000. Part of
the 3 .Q00 tons of cargo already at
Halifax” consists of.19,000 bags of flour
which have been collected from all
over Canada.
When the St. Cecilia sails from`
1-_ia1lfax`in' about a. fortnight. Cauadg
will have sent a total of 30,000 ton
of goods, worth $2,100,000. This is a
remarkable showing, and evinces that
nowhere has the plight ,of the Belg-
ians touched the hearts of the people
of the world more than in Canada.
Canadians have sent two and half
times as much as the United States in
proportion to population.
After Sunday, about a. week will be
consumed- in loading the St. Cecilia.
After that, preparations will proceed
for stocking a sixth steamer.

A "STIMULA'I`I;‘\`G" STATEMENT.
- No alcoholic drinks stronger than
red wine and beer are supplied to
our troops in the field. We may
leave it t_o the English to ply their
soldiers with rum and whisky. They
need the strongest stimulants to
make them forget the disgrace of
a dishonorabie cause. Our men und
their stimulant in their patriotism.

'I‘0MMY'S ONLY TERROR.
Life in the trenches is crowded with
hardships and deadly perils, but it
has its coneolations. A Liverpool
Territorial, who has been at the
front for several months, finishes up
bis letter to his young wife in these
words:-“It’s just about as tough as
it can be at times; but, thank Hea-
ven, auyway, I shall miss the spring
cleaning this year."
A ,LETTER TO THE REGIMENT.
"They are very patient, these wo-
men of Franco," says Philip Gibbs,
correspondent of the Loudon Daily
Chronicle, “and immensely brave;"
and there isea -great deal of that
some brave patience exemplified in a
letter which he translates for his pa-
per, from a little Parisian working-
girl to the odlcers and men of a
French regiment. With its big, child-
ish handwriting, asserts .the journal-
ist, "it might have been written -by
,any one of the girls whom I see
working, through the plate-glass win-
dows of the ouvoirs in the Champs-
Elysees." It ie singularly character-
istic of those same "little big girls"
‘of whom we know so little in this
country-the "midinettes.” The let-
ter is addressed to "The Gentlemen
of the Regiment," and begins:
I do not know one of you. So I write
to all of you and ask you what you
know of the death of Cesn M--,
and cf his last moments. I should be
very grateful to you, gentlemen, if
you would write all that to me,
with as many details as you can
give. We know nothing, nothing,
of that sad fatality. "lie is dead."
But where? How? There is nothing
about all that. So I write to you,
his comrades.
1 am his little cousin, so tell me
everything, and do not be afraid of
causing me pain. I am brave he-
causc you set me the example.
Did be get a packet from me be-.
fore his death, or a. letter, do you
know? If the packet did not arrive
soon enough, it is for you. I told
him: “It is for your comrades."
Perhaps he gave you some -of the
things I sent?
Ae for my -last letter, it was full of
wishes for all in the trench. It ha_d
s grecp_ envelop like this one-so take
it.
Good-bye, gentlemen; good courage
and good luck. Poor Jean would say
as I do. that the sacrifice of B0 many
lives may not be useless. Vive la
la France! ,
P. B.-I add some flowers, which
you will put, please, on Jeau’s
grave, if there is no danger of any
kind to yourselves.
OERMAN8 SHOW ABSOLUTE
OONTEMPT FOR DEATH.
PARIS, April 13.-There has been
given out in Paris a description by an
eye-witness of the attempt made by
the Germans on April 8 and 9, to re-
take a small fort at Beauseiohr held
by the French. -
Two companies of volunteers led
in this attack. They showed an abeo
lhte contempt for death bht neverthe-~
less they were stopped by the fire of
the French artillery and infantry. On-
ly a few of them escaped. Another at-
tack, in which the Germans paid a
heavy price was sdccessfdl in captur-
ing the first line of trenches. These,
positions were held by two compasies
until April 9. The Germans were so
thick in these trencles that they
crowded each other and iuterferéd
with the freedom of operations. into
this mass of men the Frenrh artillery
fired. Those who escaped the shells
were mostly bayonetted by the French
infantry. Only ion 'men survived.

STATE MONOPOLY ON BEER
LONDON. April 13-The Daily Ex-
press says it learns that the solution
of- the drink problem which the Gov-
ernment is now favoring is a state
monopoly on beer.
"The only beer brewed or sold."
says the newspaper, “will be brewed
and sold by the Government. All
breweries and public houses in Great
Britain and Ireland will be purchas-
ed outright, ‘payment for them being,
made in bonds. bearing four per cent.
interest. No strong or heavy beer
will _he brewed.”
FOREMAN BURRILL
OF C. P._R. ARRESTED.
FREDERICTON, April 13-Foremali .
Burrlll, of the C. P. R. coal sheds at
McAdam Junction, is the second pri-
soner arrested in the alleged conspira»
cy to defraud the C. P. R. by falsify-
ing pay rolls." Word has been receiv-
ed' here that Burrill has been caught
at Millinoeket, Maine, whence he is
said to have gone when C. P. R. De-
tectives Bailey aud Ginatelli were
about ready to make their round-up
of the persons said to have been en-
gaged in the alleged frauds. One
young l_taliau,_who was arrested at the
time, is still in jail here awaiting trial
on the charge of having obtained a
=check by impersonation. Burrlll, it is
claimed by those interested in the
prosecution, was the leader in the con-
spiracy, and his arrest is looked upon ,
as an important development in thei
case. Hundreds. if not thousands of`
dollars, it is alleged, have been wrong-
fully maintained by the frauds which
have been practised at the coal dc-
partment at McAdam. Burrill will be
extradited and' brought to Fredericton.
LADY RALP PAGET ALIVE. .
NEW YORK, March 31.- The re-
port that Lady Ralph Paget, daughter
of General Sir Arthur and Lady Mary
Paget, had died while engaged in Red
Cross work in Serbia was denied in a
cahlegram ,received yesterday by the
Associated Press from her mother,
who is in London. The telegram said:
“Lady Paget is most touched by the
kind sympathy of her friends in Am-
erica, and cables .saying that the rum-
or is false. Her daughter is out of
danger in Serbia.
The report that Lady Ralph Puget
had died of spotted typhus fever in
Serbia was given out in Berlin Thurs-
day by the Overseas News Agency
and forwarded by wireless telegraphy`
to Sayville. L. l.
Lady Ralph Puget, who is a grand-
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Parau Stevens of New York, has been
active in war relief work, and some
time ago she went to Serbia to take
charge of a hospital. She was there
stricken with a serious illness, from
which she is now recovering.
ENGLAND LAYS DOWN '
NEW BATTLESHIP.
NEW YORK, April 13.-According
to a report from London received by
the Tribune England has laid down a
new battleship of amazing proportions
which will be by far the most power-
ful craft afloat. it will mark a change
in battleship construction' exceeding
that which came when the first Dread-
nought was built. V
it will necessitate she adoption of
new methods in battleshlp construc-
tion by all the nations and will halt
the con-struction programme of the
United States. ,
lt is impossible, in view of the ah-
solute secrecy surrounding all British
naval construction. to verify absolute-
ly the facts about this new sea mous-
ter but The Tribune's information
comes from a trustworthy source. it
is said that this great new ship will
be 800 feet in length, will carry six
15-inch guns and have the wonderful
speed of forty knots.
At present the Queen Elizabeth, now
at the Dardanelles. stands as the most
powerful engine of war afloat. She is.
however. only 650 feet in length but
carries eight 15-inch guns. She is
oil driven as the new ship will he. In
the craft now planned, armament is
sacrificed for increased speed. The in-
creased length gives the great boiler
and engine room and capacity needed
to produce such speed.
