Has Two "MermaIds."

J. B. Smith. spaniard, residing in Hamilton, Ont, possesses two crea- lures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids. Though these are described as 'fab- led" or fictitious creatures in the dictionaries, those of Er. Smith have heads shaped like. those of human be- ings and bodies, that are distinctly fish-like. One is much larger than the other, and is considered to be the mother, and reckoned to be 300 years old, Both have line hair like human being, and a small mustache and beard. The head is attached to hu- man-iike neck which merges into the fish-like body, and the arms are like those of monkey, only that the fingers are webbed. It Is said that the ''mermaids" were found in, the wreck Of ship in the Arabian sea.

SUFFRAGISTS OF as NE WYORK CLAIM
 TUESDAY ELECTION

New York, Nov. 3.-1he woman suf- frage advocates virtually closed their campaign in New York today. Tuesday the fate of votes for women" will be decided at the polls by vote on an amendment to the state constitution, which, if adopted, will give the wom- en of the empire state who are of voting age, the full rights of the bal lot.
 Undaunted by their previous defeat in New York the suffragists have wag- ed battle which for intensity has seldom been equalled in the political history of New Yorfk. Party lines throughout the state have been swept aside. The campaign has been wased virtually by the proponents of sui frage, but in the face ol quiet and or ganized opposition on the part of the anti-suffragists and either antipathy or open opposition oli the part or many leaders of the two older pol1t- ical parties. Other political leaders, however, have joined the women-s forces and have worked in the open for the success of the amendment.
 Both sides claim victory with the close of the campaign. The New York State Suffrage association and it's ai- lied organizations have conducted tireless campaign. sending flying squadrons" into every city, town ana village from one end of the state to the other.
 The suffrage leaders claim today that the decision, though close, Will be for the amendment. The anti. suffrage associations and a. number or political leaders who have done lit tie in the way of speech-making, but have adopted less conspicuous metn- ods of campaigning, claim the amend ment will be decisivefy defeated.

importance of Discipline.

There Is not that thing in the world of more grave and urgent importance throughout the life of man, than is dis, cipline. What need I instance? He that hath read with judgment of nations and commonwealths, of cities and camps, of peace and war, sea and land, will readily agree that the fourishing and decaying of all civil societies, all the movements and turn ings of human occasions, are moved to and fro as on an axle of discipline. So that whatsoever power and sway in mortal things weaker men have attrib- uted to fortune, I durst with more confidence ascribe either to the vigor or the slackness of discipline. And certainly discipline is not only the re- moval of disorder but the very visible shape and image of vir- tues; whereby she is not only seen in the regular gestures and motions of her heavenly peace as she walks, but also makes the harmony of her voice audible to mortal ears.-Milton.

THE NEGRO SOLDIERS , 7

Correspondent at Front Depicts Char acteristics of Negroes From
 British EamOli.

In view of. the fact that the United States will be sending numbers of regiments of negro soldiers to France the following from our correspondent at the front will prove of interest to many readers:
 French Front, Oct. 1S.-{Corre- spondence.)-Two hundred and sixty four personal citations for bravery have been won by the negro soldiers of g single Somali battalion since II landed in France in June, 1916. Ol these citations 19O were gained in the fierce battles in the vicinity of the Aisne and the remainder in the neigh borhood of Verdlfn.
 The Somalis, many of whom were recruited in British Somali land, are very independent in character and find the discipline oi an organized army very severe. Their French officers, however, are accustomed to deal with these freedoin.loving tribes men and by appealing to their pride of race, and their sel.-respect obtain their devoted obedience to such an extent that they rapidly become ex- cellent soldiers. These men learn to handle modern infantry weapons quickly and furnish many specialists in the grenade-throwirg rifle and ma chine gun sections of tle French reg iments, for the men are of very high intelligence and are full of natural initiative valuable adjuncts in these branches of fighting-while at hand-grenade throwing they are sec ond to none in the army.
 I Mafir,11nuo1y o1oon nf hahif fhNn Somalis, who are strict Mahomedans, they look on any man given to intox- ication with the greatest disdain. They are self-sacrificing to degree as was evidence during their attack on La Bovelle, when tacy had to clear out the soldiers in . trench which they had just captured. and which was still full of Germans who had taken refuge there from the bombardment. One of their European sergeants was about to enter a dugout known to be full of armed enemies when. he was pushed aside by a Somali private

Then officers say this charge has been disproved time and again after fights at Yer dun, in Champagne and north, of the Aisne. The Associated Press corre- spondcnt saw negro troopers bring ing in patches of prisoners after a batti. at La Bovelle, when French artilleryman approached them to take nnn If Una nria0uaras ShOu1dsfran as a souvenir.
