“The German sword, wielded by our
great army leaders, has brought ; cace
with Russia. With deep gratitude to
God, Who has been with us, I am filled
with proud joy at the deeds of my

A Few German Words.

Amsterdam, March 5.—The
nische Volks Zeitung says:

“Peace in the East gives us one free
hand and we can turn with all our
strength to the West. Should not that
make the enemy peoples reflect?”

“Thankful Gaze.”

Amsterdam, March 5.—The Ferlin
Lokal Anzelger, a copy of which has
been received here, commenting on the
Russian peace pact, says:

“We turn our thankful gaze to
headquarters, to the Kaiser, who gave
von Hindenburg dnd von Ludendorf a
free hand, and to those two briliant
energetic men themselves; but we also
thank Count von Hertllng and Dr. von
Kuehlmann (respectively Imperial
Chancellor and Foreign Minister). They
performed their task with firmness
and tenacious perseverance.”

Other German newspapers received
here rejoice over ‘‘the brilliant leader-
ship” of von Hindenburg and von
Ludendorff.

Greater Effort

Kol-

Ottawa, March 5.—7hne following in
the form of a message to the women
of Canada was issued here last night:

“The conference of women summon-
ed by the War Committee of the
Cabinet desires to pass on to all Can-
adian women the deepened sense of
unity and responsibility which emerged
during the meeting.

“As women assembled from all the
provinces of the Dominion, our first
action was to send au messuge of sym-

pathy and-hope to the Canadian forces

overseas, to whose welfare and en-
couragement our deliberations were
directed. The conference demonstrat-

ed the willingness of the women of
Canada to share their fight for free-
dom and justice by taking up the tasks
which our men must leave when called

to service.
“The advantage of discussing sub-
‘jects of national importance with

members of the Guvernment has given
us a keener realization of the gravity
of the present war conditions and the
necessity of a single-minded effort to-
ward winning the war. We are con-
that
serve the state at this time by sim-
plicity of life and by concentrating our
energy on
thrift in all our ways, in order to meet
the demands for food and money made
updn us by the Motherland and our
Allies.

and the fortitude of the women In the

NOW REGULATING
CANADIAN BAKERIES

ee emammenaaed

Food Board Passed Order Yes-
terday Governing the Bak-
ing Industry

Ottawa, March 6.—The licensing and
regulation of the baking industry as
required under an order of the Can-
ada Food Board issued Febraury 9
became effective and compulsory on
March 1. An exception is that bakers’
white wheat flour may be used until
March 15, but not on or after that
date. An order was passed yesterday
making these regulations binding on
all bakers to whom the license system
is applied, and making it plain that
the extension of time refers only to
the use of white flour.

Bakers who have not already obtain-
ed their license should do so immedi-
ately, and also should comply with the
regulations, which now have full force
of law governing the manufacture and
sale of bakery products.

The only reason for the extension of
time for the use of white flour other
than the standard flour was the trans-
portation situation and the delays
which some bakers had experienced i:
securing supplies of standard flour.

LLOYD GEORGE PAYS
TRIBUTE TO MAUDE

London, March 5.—The House of
Commons yesterday voted £25,000 to
the widow of Major-Gen. Frederick
Maude, commander of the British Ex-
peditionary force on the Tigris front,
whose death occurred last November.
Mr. Lloyd George, in speaking of Gen-
eral Maude, said:

“General Maude died a victim to his
inbred courtesy. He visited a plague-
stricken area at the invitation of its
inhabitants, who wished ,to thank him
for his many kindnesses. He knew the
perils so well that he forbade any sol-
dier of his escort to eat or drink dur-
ing the visit. But when the ceremonial
cup was Offered to him as a part of the
welcoming festivity, he ran the risk
himself rather than hurt the suscepti-
bilities of the people. There was
cholera in the cup; he died a few days
later.”’

WHEN THE DAY !S DONE

Of spinach and kale,
IT have eaten a bale
And Pye never raised a row.
I have swallowed a can
Of moistened bran
And I feel like a brindled cow.
Iam taking a snack
From the old haystack
In the evening shadows grey,
And I’m glad, you bet,
At last to get .
To the end vf a meatless day.

STORY OF THE HOLY CITY

The capture of Jerusalem by our troops re-
calls the tragic and fascinating story of that
city, which carries us back through the mist
of ages to the days when the
David was

Throne of
established within its walls.
From that date we pass to the glories of the
Temple built by Solomon, which for centur-
ies was to stand as the centre and pivot of
the Jewish nation and faith. The time came,
however, when her days were numbered, and
the drama of Calvary was followed a few
years later by the onslaught of Titus, the
Roman Emperor, who encompassed the city
round on every side and cast a trench about

‘it and laid it even with the ground.

Round its ruined walls Saracen and Cru-
sadcr were to fight continuously for its pos-
session, and Christian knight flocked from
all lands to the rescue of the Holy Places,
until in 1099 Godfrey de Bouillon defeated
his enemies and was chosen as_ the first
Christian King of Jerusalem.

Following this, for a considerable period
the city remained in Christian hands, until
in 1517 it was captured by the Turks and in-
corporated in the Turkish Empire. Now the
British Tommy, the most modern of Cru-
saders—fighting as his prototype for God
and King—has secued the city from the
enemy.—Tit-Bits.
