LAUGHED AT PNEUMONIA IDEA
Lord stratheona Had Not Thought for
illness When Business interests
Made Their Supreme Call.

As has been aptly said, Lord
Strathcona was "studiously careless"
about his health. His chief af1io.
ton was "colds," and it is q wonder
that, through his imprudences they
did not lead to serious illness.
An old Montreal friend, NJ. G. R
Hosmer, who is quoted in. Mr..
Beckles Wilson's "Life of Lord
Strathcona," recalls q typical Incl
dent that happened nearly twenty
years ago.
Lord Strathcona was declared to
be very i'll and threatened with
pneumonia. His private car was Or
dered to be got ready for trip to
Florida. He learned suddenly that
his presence might be useful in VIM
nipeg, where the Manitoba school
question had come to the front.
Without saying a word to his doctor
or to anyone, he ordered his car to
be attached to the Winnipeg train,
and off he went. Lady Strathcona
was greatly alarmed, and came to
my Office the next morning. was
then general manager Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway telegraphs. We
found out that he was as far as the
north side of Lake Superior at the
time, and that it was 80 degrees be-
low zero there. The night after he
arrived in Winnipeg he gave ban
quet to the bishop of st. Boniface.
When he returned to Montreal, I
spoke to him of how deeply con-
cerned, not to say alarmed, Lady
Strathcona had been. He smiled
and said, eyes, l remember that

General Petain's Action Gives impress.
sion That He Has No Intention Of
Taking the Offensive at Present
Along the Champagne Front
London, June 2S.-While General
Haig is closing in so closely upon
Lens that the capture by the British
of that coal mining city and its ad.
jacent fields seems imminent it is q
question whether the British opera.
ton will be accompanied by an often.
sive move by the French on q like

Although there has been more or
less constant jockeying for position by
the two commanders along the Aisne
and Champagne fronts, particularly
the former, the German activities ap.
pear more like efforts to choke of
any possible extended movement by
the French than anything else.
On the other hand General Petain's
occasional strikes give the impression
that all he is trying to do is to pre-
serve his vantage points as the basis
fof resuming the French advance at
some future time when that effort
seems advisable.
The most important Of the recent
French drives was that of Monday at
Hurtebise, west of Craonne. The
Germans seem to have suffered con.
siderable deprivation here, one of the
positions taken being a fortress OF
some magnitude which had served the

parture for counter attacks.

question that arises in mans mind is,
Why should ] contribute to fund
for the entertainment of soldiers. !
have bought Liberty Bonds and ]
subscribed for the maintenance Of the
Red Cross; why should l do anything
more for the soldiers!"
Let US tell you something abou. the
conditions.
In the first place, while the Red
Cross ministers to the soldiers who
have been wounded in battle, the army
Y. N. c. A. ministers to those who
are physically and morally clean.
Without these Y. NJ. C. A. huts, with
homelihe influences gone. there is no
place for the soldiers to find his re-
creation while off duty but the drink
ing places and brothels. The great
menace to the men in tn. army, far
away from home influences, is disease.
The temptations are greater for the
American, CANADIAN and Austrian
soldiers than they are for some of the
others. For instance. . British sold
ier can get home in q few days, when
he had his two weeks furlough; the
French and Belgian soldiers can get o
their homes in short time, but the
American soldier knows that he is over
here indefinitely; th.t he will be
there during the period Of the war and
some time after the war, and left to
his own devices for seeking entertain
ment. there is every chance that h,me
ties will not be strong enough to ken
him in the paths of rectitude.
Another elemen t enters into It.
The Russian soldiers pay is one cent
a day; the Belgian's pay is four cents
per day; the French soldiers pay is
five cents day; the British soldiers
twenty-five cents day, while the
American soldier is paid from one to
three dollars . day, 80 that, it being
generally understood that he may al
ways have q few dollars in his pock-
cts, he is sought after by the camp
followers and the lewd women of thu,
cities.
So you see what it will mean to the
mothers of America to feel that some
provision is being made to insure, as
far as possible, the return of her boy
and the boy of her friends-if they
have not been called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice-as clear-eyed and
unashamed as when she sobbed out her
final goodbyes when the boy went
away.
The men and women of this country
have Just subscribed over three bill
lion dollars to be used in the destruct-
ion of human life. This campaign
seeks to raise only one per cent of that
amount in movement to protect the
lives and souls of men.

LENA RIVERS" AT LOWE OP-

Our old friend Boyd Burrowes, ad-
vance man and part owner of the
LENA Rivers" company, was Jules
burg visitor the first of the week, and
made arrangements for his company
to appear in Julesburg next Tuesday
night, November Goth. Mr.. Burrows
has been in the show business for a
number of years, and to the best of our
knowledge has always had a company
of strong entertainers.
No doubt many of our readers have
read the story of Lena Rivers" and
have seen the play, four-act comedy
drama, written by Mary Holmes, and
it is one that never gets old, it having
long run in larger cities, in which
Beulah Poynter started her stage car
eer in playing the role of "Lena Riv-
ers" and made a tremendous hit.
Mr.. Burrowes assures us that he has
a good strong company of players who
are making good wherever the play is
staged. Although Beulah Poynter, of
course is not taking the part of LENA
Rivers" with the Burrowes company,
it is stated that Miss Mona Lee is
meeting with great success in this role,
and is proving quite a favorite.
LENA Rivers" is pretty story and
its dramatization has met with great
success. Elsewhere in this issue Of
