G.. H. Sines, vice-president of the

proof of this is that more than 1,6OO
members of the brotherhoods employed
on Canadian railroads are now lghtlng

an amount in excess of 100000. We
already have paid out 100000 in war

Of our Canadian members, they I'M

The German losses in dead, officially

yond 100000 officers and men, IS. ac-
cording to cautious estimates, 100000

been very good, and because Of this a
high percentage of wounded soldiers

Copenhagen, Feb. 15.-Warrant Off
Ger Hardy, Of the American Gunbost
Scorpion, station ship at CONSTANT
nople, arrived here last night from
Constantinople after an experience Of
arrests, detentions and trials covering
the period since the announcement OF
unrestricted warfare.
Hardy left Constantinople January
80 and, as he was wearing uniform
was the object Of suspicion from the
outset. He was taken from the train
at Sofa, Budapest and Vienna, but in
each instance was permitted 10 pro-
coed. When he fell into the hands OF
the German authorities at Dresden,
however. he was detained in military
prison for three days. Thence he was
forwarded TO secret service headqusr-
ters at Berlin.
After an investigation he was per-
mitted 10 proceed TO Warnemunde'
where he was again detained before
being put on board the ferry for Den
mark. The Germans apparently
feared he might be carrying informa-
ton, for he was subjected TO the full
course Of acid washings and other
scientific methods of detecting commu-
nications written in sympathetic ink:
His uniform and effects were searched
In the most thorough manner.
