INDIA'S CONTRIBUTION. 1 - - King George Is 'a National Hero In Vast Empire of the East Since the war began India has sent 1,106,000 of her sons, according to Dr. Gurubai Karmarkar of Bombay, who has been in New York attending the International' War Worl Council at the Y.W.C.A. "My country has' also contributed gold by the' ton, spices and grain," she nformed the reporter. . "We have even sent firewood and charcoal to Mesopotamia, where they had only Pahn leaves for fuel.

Within the first four months the WORK OF CARRIER PIGEON& Only Means et C▪ omniniticatian at Times in Recent Offenelve.. One of the principal elements which worked toward the bringing of the re- cent German offensive to a halt was the splendid co-operation of the trans- port and information services. In Champagne lorry drivers passed' four days and • nights without a moment's repose in hurrying troops- from _one ever most needed, and conveying tens of thousands of men; often •under heavy fire. The role of the carrier pigeon prov- ed most important in the Champagne fighting, where the French advance posts were often cut off from the main body and possessed only this means of cominunicating. The birds con- stantly brought back messages keep- ing the staff informed concerning the movements of the Germans. In one instance a pigeon brought a request that the French artillerymen Qpen ' fire on a position occupied by their own comrades, because the Germans were surrounding them in dense mas- ses. The gunners complied, 'mowing lanes in the German • waves. Their wonderful accuracy of aim spared their comrades, many of whom after- ward were able to make their way. 1 back.

He had got possession of a 22 -calibre rifle, and as all guns will persist in doing. this one would go off at unexpected times, and as usual when pointing in the wrong direction. On this occasion it was pointing down at his foot when it took a notion to go off. George knew at once that the gnn had gone off, and also that it ha been loaded,' for he had proof of that fact in a hole in the top of his foot as well as one in the sole. The limp that he takes with him when he goes over to the dodoes is not due to any imaginary pain, but is genuine, and will exempt him from military service for some time. —Two Toronto young men, . Ar. thur McGuigan and Joseph Cedar - et, were charged with a violation of the Ontario Temperance Act in Pickering about two weeks ago, and ware summoned to appear before Police Magistrate Jephson on Tuesday eveniog. Cadaret's father, who owns the auto in which they came to Pickering, appeared in bis behalf and settled by paying a fine of 810 and costs. McGuigan ignored the summons, as he was too busy making muni- tions, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. - As a result of his neglect, he was obliged to pay the maximum fine of $10Qand costs or 00 days in jail. As he did not have the money he was sent to Whitby jail, but the next day his brothet and sister appeared and paid the fine, and he was thus given his liberty. —We hear a great deal these days about the letter "B" on the leaf blade of oats. Those who are superstitious, ascribe the phenom- enon to something supernatural. The letter occurs on the blade of the leaf on the under side, and at the point where the leaf bends over, and is no doubt due to the continual movement of the blade in the wind. Those who see in the phenomenon something very significant, and something to make us worry, say that it stands for "blood", and that it means that the war will continue for a long time yet. Others interpret mean that the letter stands for "r tam , •us Britain will be victorious in the war. If you are a dyspeptic and of a pessimestic hature, yon will readily see that it has a terrible meaning, and that are there awful days ahead of us. But if ,you are free from all bodily ailments and can take a bright view of life, the letter will have a good omen, and the optimist will see bright days ahead. - 4. letter was also seen on the oat leaf during the Boer war, and if a person had looked he would have seen it every year since. Pont worry about the let- ter, for we have enough of real worries these days. and we should not add to them by such nonsense as this. • 1 5,5 Z • 1 be in • accordance with the food regu • tions. •—The Soldiers' Coinfort Club '•:• will hold an open air concert in • Mrs. O'Leary's grounds on Church -• • St., on Monday, Aug.. 5th (Civic • .
