Camp With Canadian Regiment.
John II. Senter of Montpelier has
received two letters from his SON.
John, jr., who joined a Canadian regi-
ment which has crossed the Atlantic
and is now stationed at Sanding,
England, near Folkestone which is
on the English channel and not far
from France He is a member of
company b, gath battalion, OF the sec
ond Canadian contingent. Other let
ters have been received by local
friends telling of pleasant journey
across the ocean.
He writes that camp life is pref
ty busy. They have to start at $50
in the morning and do not finish UNI
til Ais in the afternoon. he praises
the weather and scenery. The camp
is about 100 miles from London, and
he is going to try to see London If he
can, although he says it can't be done
in day. He says that soldiers fare
is good what they get. the menu con-
sisting of meat, potatoes and tea,
everything else being extra, such as
salt and canned peaches. The soldiers
buy extras. He says he does not see
how the English soldiers get along
as they do not get more than half the
pay.
He writes his company had night
hike recently but didn't go far. He
had been on guard at pumping sta
ton. The work was not hard but was
tiresome. He said he did not believe
they would leave for France for some

Hejoehoo Fish.

The hedgehog fish is IL strange crea-
ture. 1t has body covered with long
thin spines. When In danger 1t follows
the custom of the ordinary hedgehog
to Il certain extent but In addition 1t
puts its nose out of the water and
swallows such Il quantity of air that
its body is blown out into the shape OF
Il football, with sharply pointed spines
bristling in every direction. This ma
newer upsets its balance. Still 1t
floats contentedly along OH its back,
quite safe against the attacks of its op-
ponents, who are kept at bay by i'm
penetrable armor.

PERJURY IN COURT.
Il Is Quite Common and the Rules Of
Evidence Favor II.

-
1t is conservative ayerment that In
two-thirds of the cases tried in court
there is positive contradiction OF facts.
There are few arguments made by al
vocates In which bias and prevarlca-
ton on the part OF witnesses are not
charged. Deplorably immoral as well
as farcical IS some of the evidence nd
duced In many cases where experts are
used on both sides to support diamet-
rically opposed propositions.
Any judge or practlcing attorney
knows that seldom does party to n
suit testify against his own interests
In the decisive matters affecting the
rights involved. Although perjury may
not necessarily aud invariably be pred
icated on these facts. yet they must
lead to the conclusion of sworn mis-
statements In large proportion Of
cases. especially when we recall that
the oath of the witness requires him
not only to tell the truth ana nothing
but the truth, but all the truth.
In this connection It is interesting to
remember that the rules OF evidence It
present and for centuries in the past.
enforced in our courts and English
courts. not Only tend in spite of the
plain context of the oath to prevent
the telling of all, but permit a witness
rather to conceal much that has some
bearing In truth upon the matter at
issue
We are forced to recognize. then.
that perjury prevails as common and
crying evil.--Charles j. Martell IN Case

ANGL0-FRENCH
PAYMENT CALLED
Underwriters TO Pay Over All
Of Remaining Instalment-
Bonds Touch 95.

J. P. Morgan & Co., In their capacity
as agents for the syndicate managers
Of the s5O0,o00.000 Angio-Freneh loan.
sent out letters yesterday calling upon
the underwriters to pay on December
u the whole remainder Of their sub
scriptions. The syndicate will expire
by limitation on December is, and there
is no intention Of extending IL though
IL is In the power Il the syndicate
managers 70 do so.
The fact that the entire balance Of
unpaid subscriptions was called for,
contrary 20 the ord'narv practice o.
syndicates, caused considerable COM
ment in the financial district. II had
been expected that only a sum equal to
the amount OF unsold bonds would be
required from the underwriters. As IL
Ia, J. p. Morgan & Co. will rebate 70
the syndicate members whatever excess
there is over requirements. II Is ex-
pected that the return to the members
can be made within two or three days
after December Ii.
IL was taken for granted In Wall
Street that the action of the agents OF
the syndicate managers was prompted
by the wish not TO disclose al this time
the number of bonds still unsold. There
have been conflicting reports in the
financial district concerning the success
of the sale, the general belief being
that the underwriters will have 20 take
possibly $3.50. 100000 OF the bonds This
is on the assumption that there were
originally withdrawn 100000 and
that approximately 100000, 900 has since
been sold in countrywide campaign.
Beginning December Is, there will be
no limitation on those who were in the
underwriting agreement as TO the price
at which the securities may be sold.
Until that time, however, they are
bound not 10 dispose of them under %.
The price TO the underwriters was 96
plus a share Of the general expenses,
which, il was estimated, would add
somewhat less THAI one-fourth OF per
cent. Recently, however, the bonds
have been sold on the Stock Exchange
at considerably below 9s Yesterday.
70 the first time, thsJ went below even
the underwriting price, S535,000 selling
at 95, delivery TO be made within thirty
days and the buyer exempted from pay
ing the accrued interest Without the
provision for delayed delivery all sales
were made at 97i5.
