upon which the visits Of Lord Kitch-
ener to Paris and Emperor william to
Vienna, 1t is believed. will have an i'm

Lord Kitchener, after visiting the
Balkans and Italy, has arrived at Paris
for conferences with the French staff.
while the German emperor has gone to
Vienna to see Emperor Francis Joseph
and discuss with the Austrian generals
what the mex move will be.
Presumably it is q question whether
the central powers will attack the An.
glo-French forces in Southern Servia
or concentrate in Western Bulgaria
to meet the threat of a Russian inva-
sion and the possibility of Rumania
taking sides against her old enemies
Bulgaria and Turkey.
So far as Servia is concerned. win
ter appears virtually to have put an
end to any important movements. al
though the Austrians are proceeding
to deal with the Montenegrins. whose
frontier they have crossed while the
Bulgarians r attempting to advance

Heavy and continuous snowstorms
will make these operations slow. espe

ance
Monastir. 1t Is admitted, cannot be

WHEAT SEIZED BY CANADA
AZ Act Of War Government Command
GERS Over 2o.oco, 900 Bushels Of
High Grade Grain.

Ottawa.-The Canadian government
has Communicated all high-grade
wheat in elevators from Fort William.
on Lake Superior, to the Atlantic
coast.
The action was taken by the Cana
dian Grain Commission under the spe-
cial war act. The wheat seized was
of grades / hard and l, 2 and 3 north
ern. It was the property of grain
shippers and millers. That taken is
all which was in public elevators at
Fort William, Port Arthur, Midland,
Tiffn, Port McNicholl, Collingwood.
Goderich, Kingston. Port Claiborne,
Prescott. Quebec, st. John, Montreal
and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about 20. 1000, 900 bushels. A
considerable amount is the property
Of American grain dealers.
It is stated officially that the price
win 70 fairly adjusted and the grain
owners promptly paid by the Cana
dian government. It is estimated that
!. there still is in Canada In the hands
Of the farmers and dealers west OF
Fort William $50. 600 600 bushels sur.
plus Of wheat available for export. II
is expected that most OF this will be
taken in the future for the use of
Great Britain. France and Italy. The
domestic supply of Russia is more
than sufficient to meet the needs OF
that country.
Had the Dardanelles been forced,
. the surplus Of Russian wheat would
have made the present action unnece
sary. While the wheat just taken was
Communicated to fill an order from
the British government for a large
quantity of wheat. it Is understood
most of 1t will be shipped to Italy.

 ''How to secure good nights sleep in hot weather is often most trying problem, especially to the sick. Here is a method that I find successful: I pour cold water into a hot water bot tie until about half full, screw top part ly on, then with one hand, squeeze up- per part of bottle until all air has been forced out. Then 1 tighten the top, and a soft, pliable pillow is the result. l wrap this in a towel, or slip it in side the pillowcase, and lay my head so that the bottle is at the back of my neck. In few moments I am cool and comfortable and sleep quickly fol- lows. Just try it some night"

 The young Jenkinses went aloft, and there seemed some prospect of peace until Harold, the eldest, who had been allowed half an hours grace, began outing in with his ridiculous queries.
 What on earth do you want now ?" demanded the harassed parent, as he desperately flung down the paper.
 "Well, dad did Adam only have one name?"
 "Of course he did Now look here, any more silly questions and you go to bed, too, my son."
 "Yes, pa, hut can't l talk a litle bit more about that question:"

New Things You Discover About Your

David Grayson, writing his story "Hempfeld" in the July American Magazine, says:
 Tt is a curious thing how people surprise us. In our vanity we begin to think we know them to the utter most, and then one day, possibly by accident, possibly in a moment of emo tion, little secret door springs open in the smooth panel of their visible lives, and we see within a long, long corridor with other doors and pas sages opening away from it in every direction-the vast secret chambers of their lives."

Indians Predict that Little People" Inhabiting Mesa Verde Cliff Dwell
 lings Will Destroy Line. =.

The Indians living near the cele- brated Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado are interested in the outcome of their predictions about the tele- phone line which the Government has just completed into the Mesa Verde National Park. They declare that the poles won't stand and that the wires won't talk. When asked why, they solemnly reply that the "little people" will permit no such uncanny things to come so near their ancient homes. Nor can they be persuaded to the contrary. The white men will see for themselves pretty soon
 The Indians live in great awe of the prehistoric dwellings, of the Mancos Valley, which are. by far, the finest and best preserved of any in the Amer ican southwest. They will not be- lieve that it was Pueblo Indians, or any Indians in fact, who, so long ago that the oldest traditions describe them as they now are, carved these wonderful cities out of the cliffs. They believe that spirits built the cliff dwellings,, and that spirits still inhabit them. They reverently call these spir- it's the little people,"
 For this reason it is difficult to in- duce Indians to approach the cliff dwellings,. Whether or not the con tinued success of the Government tele- phone line will shake their supersti- tious faith remains to be seen.

Catching Submarines
Buffalo Express


 The captain of the American liner Philadelphia gives this information about the way British vessels hunt for submarines. Two fast patrol boats take each an end of steel wire net which sinks about 25 feet below the surface. When the hawsers show a heavy strain the boats turn inward to- ward each other and thus wrap the net around the submarine, which it iy supposed to have caught. Then they cut it loose and let the submarine go to the bottom. It is said British of ficers believe that more than a score of German submarines have been de stroyed. That may be possible, but the net story sounds.
