Canada's Good Sense.

The Canadian Government has had
the courage to do what the Wilson
administration refuses to do-raise
the Tariff rates to secure the revenue
necessary. While the United States
is steadily losing money and the de-
felt is growing, the administration
refuses to make any change in it's
Tariff laws because it would be an
acknowledgement of inefficiency in
drafting the Tariff laws. The Cana
dian Government gives no thought
of its former policy; il sees the nee
essity of raising more money and it
pormptly changes its Tariff schedule
to meet the emergency. In the case
of goods now on the free list there
will herafter be a customs charge of
7h per cent on goods from the
United States and elsewhere. with
the exception of Great Britain and
colonies on the preferential list.
where the charge will be per cent.
From the increased Tariff duties an
annual revenue of between 100000
900 and $25,0O0.00O is expected

Blew Out Brains of Helpless Men.

Tom Logan and his deputies who

The officials theory is borne out
by the fact that after the men had
been laid low with loads of buck
shot. the murderers put pistols to
their heads and blew out their
brains. Although a sum of money.

helpless on the floor. Powder marks
on the dead mems temples show
how they came to their end.

HOW SUBMARINES
SINK VICTIMS
American Sailor Tells Of Thrills
Attending Incl
dent.

New York. February IA first
hand story of the sinking OF the
British freighter, Ikaria, torpedoed
by a German submarine on January
81. off Harve, was told by Alfred
Edwards, a member of the 1karia S
crew. who reached here today, pas
seneer on the steamer st. Louis, from
Liverpool. Edwards is a naturalized
American and his home is in Phil
adelphis.
"It was shortly afternoon" said
Edwards, when and another men,
Der Of the crew standing by the rail
saw the submarine come to the sur
face less than a mile distant. In APP
pearance she resembled partly sub
merged tugboat, her bow showing
the marks u g. Immediately recog-
nized what she was. A moment after
she rose a head appeared through
the tower top. our ship was evidently
under surveillance. The Captain OF
the Ikaria apparently took the war
craft for a British or French sub
marine. for he ran up the British
flag. II was but moment before the
submarine sank from view.
THE next thing we saw was
white ship coming toward us just
be low the surface of the water
Then there was a crash under. our
starboard side just abaft No. hatch.
A tower of water rose in the air. and
the ship keeled over as she rose with
the uplift.
"All hands were ordered to the
boats, but before we could launch
them a second explosion occurred on
our portside and again the ship was
lifted almost out of the water. One
of the lifeboats was damaged and we
were compelled to launch third one
in which to take refuge.
I'VE only got one look at the sub
marine and that was when she first
appeared. We did not see her when
the second torpedo was launched,
and we were ont molested in our
boats. When struck we were only Is
miles off Harve, the sea was calm
and after watching the Ikaria go
down we put for the coast and were
picked up within an hour by French
torpedo boat.

Birds In War Areas.
(By Edw. Fox Sainsbury.)

(By Edw. Fox Sainsbury.)
Man quickly accommodates him
self to new conditions of life. A man
coming from a peaceful village and
settling in London or Paris, where
night is turned into day, finds the
noise of the streets intolerable when
he goes TO rest after his daily work,
and he regrets his dear, peaceful
village where he could rest without
any noise disturbing his slumbers,
yet within a month he sleeps as well
as he did in his former home. But
the timid bird-surely city's noise
would never permit him of his own
free will to choose a home in cities
where millions of men, his natural
enemies, dwell Yet so it is. Year
by year the number of wild birds
increase in London, and nearly every
every species now lives in and around
that city.
In war time who would believe
that birds would not fee from the
dangers of war? II would appear,
however, that even the timid bird is
not to any extent scared by shot,
shell and bullet. II was expected
that a huge migration Of feathered
fugjtjves would seek asylum on the
eastern coast of England, but nothing
Of the kind has occurred. The mot
TO Of the bird is evidently "J'y suis,
~ reste''-"Let men and women
Zee, ] remain!" and remain he does.
One strange thing has happened,
however. with the migratory birds.
Having the instinct to migrate, the
restless birds feel they must "be off"
somewhere, and some instinct tells
them that TO cross over the narrow
seas from Britain, the usual route
being via Belgium and the north
of France into the very Jaws of
DEATH" were unwise. SO this year
n noteworthy emigration northwards
has taken place. Whether they will
find a new route TO sunshine and
warmth, il is too early to know.
Letters from the front often men
ton that birds, even living in the
very midst of bombarded towns and
villages, remain and get quite tame.
Robins visit the trenches and are
made welcome, for many tender

Mr.. Gish is highly pleased with the

Forest Folks at Home.
(By Jake H. Harrison)
Deep within the forest aisles
Cooling breezes blow,
While the verdant velvet leaves
Flutter TO and fro;
Signing with a lovers breath,
Hear them whisper low
While the daisies underneath
In their beauty glow.
Dancing ripples in the brook
Laugh as they go by,
Flirting with the water ferns,
Smiling at the sky;
While the minnows, pleasure mad
Glisten in the sun,
As they leap and dart about
In their wanton fun.
See the robin come to battle
In the cooling food,
Weary, warm and thirsty, too.
From his quest for food:
See his wings a-futter now,
Watch the water fly,
See him preen his feathers, too,
While they slowly dry.
40 cnn,srvo1 thnrn
Watch him frisk about,
See the teasing rascal, now.
Drive the robin out;
Hear him chatter in his glee
At the mischief doHe,
Clap your hands and see him dart
Now the tease is gone.
See that awkward woodcock there,
Bearing in the ground
In among that water mint,
Where his food is found;
Caution now, or he will fly.
All, the timid thing!
He has seen us and is off.
Hear his whirring wing.
Forest folks are full of life,
Interesting, too,
And it is a pleasant thing,
Watching what they do;
Take your picture-gun along,
Find their hiding spot,
And each time you have a chance
Snap them with a shot.
