 known that London's defenses had been greatly improved, as the mount ing of additional protective guns ana the appearance of scouting dlrlglple balloons obviously suggested.
 Iondon's Routine Not Varied.
 The last two raids made good, to a limited extent, fanciful pictures Of death and destruction which have ap- peared in German illustrated maga- zines The results, when seen in broad daylight, showed what wreck age a German bomb is capable of, and were not reassuring. Still, London's S routine has not varied. It is only during ''Zep weather,'' which is the result of unusual climatic conditions, that apprehension is felt.
 Stories that seem based on good authorities have it that Zeppelins were driven back by British airmen during the time of the attacks on Paris and even on the night of the raid on the midlands, but on the latter occasion the Zeppelins escaped in fog and eluded their pursuers, which presumably is the reason for their detour to the north

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
300 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as whole has enjoyed WON
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page OF history in
agricultural and industrial develop

billion bushels OF grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average s24
and will not exceed s35 per quarter
section. which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist In harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave of abb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
ricultural production lie commanding
even more attention in 1916, and it is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave OF absence from
their military duties in the spring for
certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province OF the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
