:" REAULT'S cough was not pleasant
II to hear. A cough possesses mani
fold and almost undesirable
- diversities. But there is only one
cough when man has bullet through his
lungs and is measuring his life by minutes,
perhaps seconds. Yet Breault, even as he
coughed the red stain from his lips was not
afraid. Many times he had found himself in
the presence of death, and long ago it had
ceased to frighten him. Some day he had
expected to come under the black shadow
of it himself-not in quiet and peaceful
way, but all at once, with shock And
the time had come. He knew that he was
dying; and he was calm. More than that
in dying he was achieving triumph.
The red-hot death-sting in his lung had
given birth to frightful thought in his
sickening brain. The day of his great OPP
portunity was at hand. The hour-the
minute.
A last flush of the pale afternoon sun
lighted up his black-bearded face as his
eyes turned, with their new inspiration.
to his sledge. 1t was face that one would
remember-not pleasantly, perhaps, bat
as a fixture in shifting memory of things;
a face strong with brute strength, i'm
placable in its hard lines, emotionless.
1t was the best known face in all that
part of the northland which reaches up
from Fort McMurray to Lake Athabasca
and westward to Fond du Lac and the
Wholdaia country. For ten years Breault
had made that trip twice year with the
northern mails. In all its reaches there
was not cabin he did not know. Yet
there was not a man, woman, or child
who welcomed him except for what he
brought. But the government had found
its faith in him justified. The police at
their lonely outposts had come to regard
his comings and goings as dependable

Jan Thoreau shot me and left me for dead.
Have just strength to write this-nO more.
FRANCOIS BREAULT.
1t was epic-a colossal monument to
this man, thought Sergeant Fitzgerald, as
they pried the frozen body loose.
TO Corporal Blake fell the unpleasant
task of going after Jan Thoreau. I'm
pleasant, because Breault's starved hus-
kies and frozen body brought with them
the worst storm of the winter. In the
face of this storm Blake set out, with the
Sergeant's last admonition in his ears:
Don't come back, Blake, until you've
got him, dead or alive"
That is simple and efficacious formula
in the rank and file of the Royal North
west Mounted Police. 1t has made vol
umes of stirring history, because it means
great deal and has been lived up to.
Twice before, the words had been uttered
to Blake-in extreme cases. The first
time they had taken him for six months
into the Barren Lands between Hudson's
Bay and the Great Slave-and he came
was gone for nearly year along the rim
of the Arctic-and from there also he
came back with his man. Blake was Of
that sort. A bulldog, Nemesis when
he was once on the trail, and-like most
men of that kind-without conscience.
In the Blue Books of the service he was
credited with arduous patrols and unusual
exploits. "Put Blake on the trail" meant
something.
Only one man knew Blake as Blake
actually lived under his skin-and that
was Blake himself. He hunted men and
ran them down without mercy-not be-
cause he loved the law, but for the reason
that he had in him the inherited instincts
of the hound. This comparison, if quite

CUT OFF ALL SUPPLIES
Starvation Is the Only Method to End War Was Opinion of
 German Chief.

BERLIN, March 5.-If there was any doubt left in the minds of the German people that Hindenburg's judgment was the spark that set the long dormant volcano of un- brldlod U-boat warfare to full blast, it is removed by the Bavarlan Prime Minister. Count von Hertllng, who is also President of the Federal Councils Committee on Foreign Ar- fairs. He told for the first time in detail the expert opinion of the chief of the great general staff as given to the leaders of the empire early this year. Hihdenburg, it de- velops, said in effect that the only possible way to prevent the war from going on indefinitely was to cut off the allies from their overseas supplies
 The Bavarian Premier thus quoted the Field Marshall
 AS matter of theory, the war should be continued indefinitely

since our losses are considerably smalltr than our increase of men. Our frontier walls in the East, west and south are unshakable.
 "Our economic life goes on, al- though more limited than in peace times. But as matter of theory our enemies also can continue the war indeflnltely-proyided they can maintain the importation Of war material across the seas"
 The conclusion reached by the German government as result of these statements was put in these words by Count von Hartllng:
 "Thorefore, if we want to termin- ate the war, we must cut off these importatlons. The means to do this is our submarine fleet.
 "our peace proposal was declined because our enemies do not dare to confess to their respective peo- ples and their allies that all the great promises by which they in- duced them to enter the war and that hold them together in the war have already failed and deceived the nations instead of bringing them the promised gold and land. There exists now in the countries of our adversaries financial and economic chaos.

RAISING THE LOAN,

Inasmuch as the two houses of con-
gress have authorized the seven bill
lion dollar war loan. the largest in the
history of the world. it can be con-
sidered that an excellent start has
been made in the way of providing th<
government with the means of prose-
cutting the war and of aiding it's allies
From now son the question will be that
of actually getting the money but
from the expressions which have been
voiced by 1nanciers there can be no
question but what there will be a most
generous response ON the part of the
institutions and the people in supply
ing. the government with all that il
requires.
1t is highly improbable that any eff
fort will be made to raise this stupen-
doHs sum all at once. If such was at
tempted there are reasons for. believing
that it would succeed but all this
money is not going to- be needed at
once and for that reason the wisdom
of calling for and getting what is
wanted as it is needed can. be appre-
ciated.
Though no decision has been reached
upon that point. there are indications
that the loan will be raised in INSTALL
ments,- This would give an opportu-
nifty for .readjustment of securities
by those who might be anxious to dis
pose of such as they hold for the pur-
pose of investing in government bonds.
The financial resources of the country
are such that there can. be no doubt
about this loan and others being raised
but the piecemea1 method has advan-
tases which will appeal, and such is
likely to. have the least effect upon
the market value of government Sc

change which has taken place in Spain
is will be revealed in time but even
in. that country It was only little
over a..year ago that a new. ministry
was formed. But in connection with
ting present resignation it is a ques-
ton whether S5ain-.is contemplating
breaking away from the neutrality
which it has BEEN maintaining.
Along with other countries Spain
has been suffering from the attacks of
the UZboats upon its shipping. IT is
being treated no al ferenfly than any
of the other net frais. There has been
much Uncertainty there for some time

the maintenance of the strictest neu-
trality. but the large steamship Tom,
q vessel of over IL. 900 tons. has since
been sunk and the feeiiug In Spain
cannot be much different from that in
other outraged countries.
For that reason IT. will be interesting
to learn whether i the new cabinet
stands as strongly In favor of neutral
ity as did the one which has just end

which have Joined. with the United
States, Spain has provocation enough
for at least breaking off diplomatic

DRAFTING BY SELECTION.

The question of how the army,
which this country must and is going
to raise, will be secured. is now get
ting extended consideration at Wash
ington. Likewise it is being fully dis
cussed throughout the country. but
there appears to be -soundness in the
arguments which are being put forth
in behalf of the selective draft which
Is being urged by the administration.
In the past the volunteer system has
had the call and at has been claimed
7 that those who want to go to war,
those who are anxious to fight for
their country and its rights ought not
to be denied. but this country has had
its experiences with the volunteer
method, it knows just how much and
how little dependence can be placed
upon. it. The weaknesses are appar-
ent and il is vital that they should be
avoided. But in addition there are the
experiences which, Great Britain went
through with such a system. only to
fall back upon CONSUMPTION after long
delays and unsatisfactory results, and
it is this waste of time and effort
which this country is anxious to avoid
and which will be overcome by the
selective draft.
The president in his letter deals with
this matter in a clear cut manner
when he says that the selective draft
is favored because by it.those will be
chosen for service. in the army who
can be most readily spared from the
prosecution of the other activities
which the country must engage in and
to which it must devote a great deal
of its best energy and capacity. The
volunteer system does not do this.
When men choose themselves they
sometimes choose without due regard
to their other responsibilities
This is the situation which the coun-
try faces in raising an army and it is
one which deserves the most thorough
consideration.

| Norway and Sweden stand in only
a slightly different relation to Germany
from what Holland and Denmark do.
They have continued to tolerate the
| injustices and disregard for their
rights which have been persisted in
by the German government but it can
hardly be said that they have done so
without complaining. Norway in par
ticular has BEEN great sufferer. Over
500 of its sailors have been killed or
drowned and vessels representing a
been destroyed by the German sub
marines. It therefore has plenty CT
reason for complaining. As neutral
nation it is being treated with all the
severity that is being displayed
against the belligerents. So far as its
rights are concerned it is getting no
more protection than as if it was in
the war on the side of the entente ma
tons. =:

on the incident where a Scandinavian
steamship was sunk with the loss. of
all on board except the captain. when

comment doesn't serve to stop such
barbar1ty as Norway mas good reason

mind to do as it pleases just as long

that will stop it will be the crushing
