Here is how young Bent modestly de-

he was honored:
I'VE were as usual taking our turns
alternately watching for the enemy,
and had Struggled down into my hole.
We had no officer in our trench and
my platoon loader had gone TO visit
a post, when someone passed the word
down to the line that the battalion was
TO retire. I started to follow them, but

Will Help in Defence Of
England if German Army
InVades Great Britain.
IN PHILLIP EVERETT

z ONDON, Eng, Jan. Eff the Ger
mans ever invade Great Britain
- and the situation becomes desper-
ate, they will be faced by an army Of
English Amazons, carefully drilled and
trained to the use Of the rifle.
At first the WOmen's Volunteer re
serve was considered a joke, but visit
to Old Bedford College and a view of
the determined women perspiring
through their military drills, is con-
vincing proof that it is a serious or
ganization.
It is not to be concluded that the
women will rush to the coast and fight
the moment the Germans make land
ing They will take W the rifle only
when Great Britain is in desperate
straits. Till such an unhappy time the
Reserve will simply act as a discip
lined body of women, skilled in first
aid. cooking, dispatch riding on motor
cycles. signalling and the care of horses.
VIII Not Neglect Rifle.
AT the same time the rifle is not
being neglected" said ViscOuntess Cas-
tlereagh the colonel-in-chief Of the
Women's emergency corps. All the
women are spending time in the pri-
vate rifle ranges, and there are some
astonishingly good shots among them.
There is no reason in the world why
woman cannot be as good a marksman
as a man"

officers of the WOmen's reserve that

Dancing DerUishes viii
Form Volunteer Regiments
To Aid Turkey in the War

Amsterdam, Holland, Jan, at is
reported from Constantinople that the
sect Of Dancing Dervishes has decided
to enrol regiments of volunteers. The
Dervishes are the religious orders of
Islam, but unlike the monks of Chris
tendon, they are married men.
They are hated BY the Ulemas who
are the high doctors and ecclesiastical
authorities of Islam, but they rest their
power on the ignorance and fanaticism
of the people.
Some of the Dervishes are benevo-
lent and brOad-minded. men, anxious
to do good ito humanity and living a
life Of self-denial and piety among the
poor; others are sensual and savage
ruffians who prey on the people.
There are 80 Dervish sects in Turkey,
but there are three that mainly count
the dancing Dervishes or Melvevi,
the Howling Dervishes, and the Bek-
talks.
The dancing Dervishes are really
whirlers. They cultivate a species of
spiritual exaltation which degenerates
into physical frenzy.

women bear certain forms OF hardship
better than men. It is well known
that women are less susceptible TO cold
and wet than the stronger sex. Their
bodies are better protected by fatty
tissue This is seen on the bathing
beach where women are able to enjoy
themselves on chilly days when most
Of the men seek the clubhouse. The
same condition should be true in wet,
damp trenches. 1t is also accepted
that a woman, once her nervousness

Hold Wife as Hostage.
At the farm where the boys of the z

the acquaintance of young farmer.
He has a married brother who lives
five or six miles away from here,
across the German lines, in the terri
tory at present occupied by the Ger
mans.
About ten days ago this young farm
err was awakened in the middle Of the
night by his brother, who had been
forced by the Germans to cross the
Belgian lines to obtain information for
them. His wife and house were held
as hostages and he had been informed
that in case he should prefer not to re-
turn. his wife would have to pay tho
penalty for his treason" He went

back with such information as he could
take.
A cOmmandaut with whom recently
travelled from Calais to Furnes, eX-
planned the attitude of the Belgian
farmers.
Peasants Are Intimidated.
"At first" he said, the Germans paid
cash for everything they bought or
requisitioned, while we, of course could
only give bOns' Therefore, in many
cases, the Germans were thought quite
well off, and received more attention
than our own people. But after
while, the mailed fist under the kid
glove was shown, and they have cowed
the population of the countryside into
such a state that the peasants, out OF
sheer fear for their lives, have given
information tothe Germans where they
pretended to US that they knew moth
ing at all.
Many ofo ur losses and surprise at
tacks may be explained in that way.
That even today, many of the Belgian
peasants beyond curl ines are forced,
almost beaten. into doing their dirty
work for the Germans, 1 am perfectly
convinced"
