THE BAPTISM OF FIRE.

The New York Times seizes on very signif-
cant fact. foretes history In fact when it points
out that the death OF colonial soldiers In defense
of the foreign policy OF England signalizes the
birth of the real British empire, an empire in
which all the colonial dependencies become
equally interested and equally voiced in the
councils Of the empire.
One of the weaknesses in the British empire
to which critics and historians have often de.
voted themselves has been the lack of particspa-
ton by the colonies in the Parliamentary coun.
ellis. which shape policies for the whole empire,

And stays bitterest tear.
She bends with grace OF willow

Tides fall in ehb and flow;
Mother still sings the love hymn.
Howe'er the winds blow.

NEWSPAPERS IN INDIA
They Seem to Be Run in Happy go
lucky Sort of Way

Americans, accustomed to the hustle
and hustle of onr newspapers that are
enterprising to a marvellous extent
would be amazed if not exasperated
with the papers of India. One of these
sheets recently published this explana-
ton:
This is only the beginning of our
paper. We were not sure how much
matter was required to fill it up, and,
thinking we had sufficient, we did not
exert ourselves much to get any more.
We therefore beg that our readers will
excuse us for the SPACE left blank and
promise to do better and get more in
the future
How many subscribers would that
paper have in this country? Still more
CURIOUS was the announcement of a pa
per that came out with two columns
blank, the editor having the cheek to
say that a large quantity of exceeding.
ly interesting matter has been left out
for want of space.
When the average East Indian editor
wants a holiday he suspends publica-
tion until it is convenient to resume
and, taking the public into his conf.
dence, informs them plainly why the
paper was not issued ON the expected
dates. "With the consent of our read
ers we now propose to take our annual
holiday. We are sure none of them will
begrudge us our relaxation. st.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on--castor oil. calomel. cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physie simply don't realize what they
do. The childrcn's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given to-day saves sick child to-
morrow.

Shout 'VIVE LA France"
AS Turks sink WARShP
B0UVET IN DARDANELLES

Paris, March 2S, S.e5 A. NJ
Standing at salute and shouting 'vive
la France the officers and crew of
the French battleship Bouvet, sunk in
+ the Dardanelles ON March is, went
down with their snip, according to the
Tenedos correspondent of the Athens
"Patris,N who thus describes the ac-
tion in which the Bouvet and the
Gaulois We're engaged:
The captain of the Bouvet had
been ordered to cross dangerous mine
zone and force passage to Chanak
kalessi, thus making the allies master
of the straits as far as Niagara. At
1a20 p. m. the Bouvet was iive miles
from Chanak and was firing at Fort
Dardanus. She had crossed two mine
zones. The Gaulois followed, firing all
her guns. The commander of the
Gaulois, by skillful maneuver, avoid
ed two mines which were exploded by
destroyer but third struck her in
the region of her magazines and she
sank BY tine head.
Seven survivors of the Bouvet
Niinioou ihto poat anu spent the
night in a bay ON the European side
of the straits. They were taken off the
next day by a British destroyer.
"When the captain of the Gaulois
saw the Bouvet was sinking he order
ed full steam ahead without an in
stant's hesitation, but his ship had
been struck seven times and he was
obliged to put back, anchoring off Ma
vrsis island.
A dispatch from Mytilene says a
division of the allied fleet is still keep
ing watch on the Gulf of Smyrna. A
Greek ship picked up a floating mine
near Imbros Island and another was
found by fishermen near Lemnos.
