LORD KESTEvEN.

Capt. Thomas Carew Tro1lope, who recently succeeded to the title and es- tates of his uncle, the second Baron KesteVen, is 24 years old. He has made an excellent reputation as an officer of the British army in France and if he survives he will be a most fortunate young man, for he now has a title and a large fortune, as well as good looks and military glory. He is a son of the late Hon. Robert Cranmer Trollope, and his mother was the daughter of an army officer. The new Lord Kesteven is the third of his line, the barony having been created in 1648, but he also holds baronetcy dating from 1642, while m elder branch of the family was djstin guished in English military cir cles for centuries before that. The late Lord Kesteven served with the Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa

LEMBERG TWICE
 CAPTURED SINCE
 BEGINNING OF WAR

During the present war the inhab- itants of the old Polish city, Lem berg, the capital of Galicia, have had more than their full share of the horrors of war. Just a year ago to- day, on September 3, 1914, Lemberg was taken by the Russians, who held it until June 22 last, when they were driven out by the great Austro Ger man drive. The city has suffered terribly and its population, which was 16O,OO0 at the time of the Russian occupation, has considerably dwindled.
 Although the capital of the Aus trian provinces of -Galicia and Lodo- meria, Lemberg was little known to the outside world until the events of the war brought it into prominence. The city is 365 miles northeast of Vienna, and, although off the beaten track of tourists, it had much to cont mend to the visitor in more peace full days. Its parks and gardens, with their fine oaks, beecfes and acacias, were not surpassed by those of any other city of similar size in the world. The Cathedral of St. George and it's fine churches. libraries and public buildings were the pride of the in- habitants. The Lemberg Conserva- tory of Music was famous, and among its pupils were numbered several eel ebrated singers, including Mime. Mar celia Sembrich, who was born in the Galician capital.
 The Russian capture of Lemberg a year ago was one of the first import ant triumphs for Russian arms. Upon entering the city the Russians proclaimed the restoration of the city's old Polish name, Ii Lwow, and imm ediately began arrangements for a permanent occupation. Russian officials were placed in charge of the municipal administration and that of the conquered territory of Galicia. For the people of Lemberg life went on much as before. and within a few months most of the scars of warfare were obliterated.
 The people of Lemberg had appa- rently settled down to a philosophical acceptance of the new regime when, with a large part of Galicia in Rus sia's possession, the tide of war turn ed against the soldiers of the Czar. On the third of June last the Austro- German forces recaDtured Przemsyl. and then began cree and concen- trated attack on Lemberg. The Teu- tonic Allies struck at the city from the south and west, and, with a vast amount of field artillery at their com mand. battered down the Russian re- stStamce- The line of defenSes near Grodek, 16 miles west of Lemberg, although of great natural strength, had to be abandoned by the Russians, and on June 22 the Austrians march ed in triumph through the streets of the Russian capital and again hoisted the Austrian flag.
 On the day that. the Russians en- tered Lernberg, marking the first great triumph of the Russians the Czar's western allies were in the depths of despair. Paris was threat ened, and on September the French government was removed to Bor- deaux. The German invasion of France was then at it's high tide. hay ing reached Crei1s within 80 miles of Paris Two days later battle began south of the Marne and east of Paris in which the German right wing was pushed back, starting a general re- treat of the Germans which halted on the Aisne.

SIR GEORGE FOSTER
 VETERAN OF OLD
 REGIME IN CANADA

Sir George Eulas Foster, the Ca- nadian stateman who has acted as Borden's .understudy during the ab- senee of the Prime Minister, was born 68 years ago today in Carleton county, New Brunswick Sir George is a vetera1 of the old Macdonald regime and is one of the last of the fighting Conservative leaders who stood shoulder to shoulder with the famous s.Sir John-" It is 30 years since he attained his first ministerial position, and since then no Conserva- tive cabinet has been complete with out him. Sir George is descended from a family of Loya1ists who set tied in the Maritime Provinces after the An1ercan Revolution He was given a thorough education, and after graduation from the University of New Brunswck, where he was a gold meda1list, he pursued his studies at the University of of Edinburgh He was prizeman in literature at the
 ancient Scottish institution. From Edinburg he went to HeideIberg and put, the finishing touches on his education at the German university. After returning to Canada he join ed the faculty of the University of New Brunswick as professor of classics and physics. He abandoned a lecturer on temperance, and visited many cities in the United States, as well as in Canada, as an ardent advo- cate of teetotalism. His ability as speaker, first displayed on the temper ance platform, was soon turned to use in politics, and in 1882 he was elected to the Dominian Parliament from New Brunswick. In 1885 he entered Sir John MacdonaId's cabinet as minister of marine and fisheries, having won in three years a place which many politicians have strug- gled vainly throughout a long life to attain. In 1888 he became minister of finance in Sir Johns government, and held that post through the nnin- istries of Sir John Abbott, Sir John Thompson, Sir Mackenzie BoweII and Sir Charles Tupper. When the Con- servadveS were returned to power in 1911 he entered the Borden cabi- net as minister of trade and com merce. In that capacity he visited New Zealand, Australia, and the Far East to bolster up the commercial relations between the Dominion and the trans-Paeific countries. Last year he was created a Knight of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, at the same time similar honor was awarded to Premier Borden.

acres, although late in life he took a second wife Il the hope of obtain ing an heir. The Trollope family, of which the most distinguished modern
 representative was Anthony Trol- lope, the novelist, has slight adnaix- ture of royal blood. as a, Trollope of the fifteenth century married an ille-
 gitinate daughter of King Edward w. The family home in which the new peer will take up his residence if he returns safely from the war is Casewick House, Stamford, in Lin- colnshire,2 which has been the chief possession of the family since the six teenth century. The new Lord KeS- teven is unmarried, and in the event
 of his death the peerage would be- come extinct. He had a considerable fortune before he inherited that of hs uncle, his home being Crowcon1be Court in Tauntain. <
