Many of the young folks of Bristol are busily em- barked in smelt fishing; they report smelts very scarce. St. Peter's Har- bor School is progressing favorably under the skilful management of the teacher, Miss Mary Leslie. Some, of the jolly folksof Bristol and vicinity, are practising for a concert, which they intend holding in Morell Hall in the near future. Miss Laura McVar- ish paid ii flying visit to St. Peter’s Harbor Saturday. .The central part of the island was visited on Monday and Tuesday last by one of the heav- iest rnin falls that has been for years, but owing to the bad condition of the roads, it did not hinder Mr. McEwen, the mnil driver, from enduring his re- gular routes, Mr. McEwen is the right man in the right place.-* SICKNESS AMONG CANADIANS LONDON, Jan. 24.-A visit to-day tc Levington. a. Wiltshire village, where the Canadian field artillery is biileted, shows that the sickness which has prevailed on the south side of Salis- bury Plains. is equally rife on the north. Spinal meningitis has among its latest victims Jack Kennedy. of the Fifth Battalion, formerly the Twenty- First Westmount Battery. A spacious manor house has been converted into a hospital (No. 2 Gen- eral, under Lt.-Col. D. W. McPherson). which, though full. only takes less serious or non-surgical cases. About 150 horses are also in hospitals, but the Canadian veterinary servico is doing good work, and has restored several animals which had been con- demned to slaughter. All nnticipations are directed to an early move, which is expected and favoured from ii medical standpoint, as likely to tanip out meningitis. The fact that the Second Brigade, Seventh Hattery, sarted firing for the first time yesterday is also considered signifi- cant. After the church parade to-day a medico gave lectures on how to deal drinking water on active service. The experiences oi’ the contingent at Salisbury Plains may mean the selec- tion of another camp for the second contingent, and on this subject,.your correspondent ghtliers, urgent repre- sentations are being made from several quarters. Ari inevitable result of the system adopted nt Salisbury Plains regarding newspaper reports was seen when Colonel Heard, chief of the staff, sum- moned the scribes to discuss import- ant matters.. Representatives of the Globe, the Mall and Empire and the Star, from Canada, nttcnded and Col. Heard complained of mis-statements communicated to the three news- papers mentioned. Specific exception was taken to stories of alleged differences between General Alderson and the Minister of Militia, and of the former's likely re- tirement; tlie reported accident to (.‘ol. Victor Williams in the trenches; thc report that (Janadian engineers were leaving for France to build huts for Sir Jolni Jackson. As the newspaper men involved had received honorary commissions, they had rendered themselves liable to court martial, but warning was sufllci- ent this tiine. Col. Heard hoped. lt is only fair to point out that re- presentatives of Canadian papers can- not get any news front official quarters now, either at Salisbury Plains or Londoii_ Even the news of deaths from disease or accident filters through Ottawa, except when it is obtained privately. in tiiiisiciiii Amount already iicltnowledgcci $6476.71 Miss Helen MacI"hersou.

New York and Newfound- lund route this winter, and not go on n sealing trip as she has been doing each winter up to the present. This resolve by the company is due to the scarcity of boats for charter and the high rates prevailing. The steamer Florizei, of the same line, will prosecute the sealing in- dustry ns usual during the coming season. The Florlzel is admirably suited for this work, being well able to cope with the ice conditions. Last year the Black Diamond steam- er Morweiinn was chartered by the Red Cross line for the Halifax, New York and Newfoundland route. She is only a small vessel, and finding the freight trnde very good this winter, the company will be able to use the Stophano's capacity with ease. lhdneye Wfun¢?-- ......."

Maurice Maeterllnck, the cele- brated Belgian author, is naturally, no lover of the Germans. He stated the' other day that he had irrefutable evi- dence that the Huns had made up their minds to blow up Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges. M. Mneterlinck. unlike most men-of letters, has one of the calmest natures imaginable. Nothing seems to rutile his temper and he tnkes nil things as they come. While he was dining at a big restaurant some time ago, a big clumsy waiter spilt nearly a whole plate of clear soup down his back. The author of “The Blue Bird" never turned a hair, but, looking calm- ly nt the ilustered waiter, merely 're- marked: "It was thick soup l asked for." THE SIMPLEST WAY. Sir Oliver Lodge. the famous scien- tist, stated the other day that the pre- sent war is “the holiest war that we were ever engaged in." Sir Oliver is a man of very plain speech and he hates nffectation of any kind. On one occasion he administer- ed a sharp rebuke to ii student of chemistry. Strollingthrough the phy- sics laboratory one day, Sir Oliver sow ri young man performing an ex- periment in which he had to cause the water in a. basin to rise in a tube. “How are you going to do that?" he asked. The student, wishing to show off his knowledge before so great a. scientist thereupon entered into a long explan- ation in which technical terms were mixed up by the dozen. "Um," said Sir Oliver dryly when the youth had finislicd, “lf I were you I should just suck it!" Whlcii was what the student really intended to do, only he didn't like to say so.

HUIIS Blilliiilli ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Charges of brutality on the part of German of- ficers toward British prisoners under transportation from the bnttlefront to the detention camps, matic by a major of the Scottish Rifles who escaped from prison at Crcteld, were published here tonight by the British Embassy. "The report of the oflicer also has been put, into the hands of Ambassador Page hy the Foreign Oflice in London. The oiilcer‘s statement declares that from the time he was captured at La ‘to "continua abuse and revllement." that his gre ioiit was taken from him und that he, like those wiio made the .ltrp with hiin. arrived at their destina- ‘tlon after being "starved and coufiiicd ffor three iiuys und nights." ,THIRTY HOURS WITHOUT FOOD A large port ot' the journey, he said, was made in a closed car used for the |'transpoi'tntion of horses, filled with _filth and with so little ventilation that lt was almost nspliyxlating.
