Approaching Kut-el-Amara from the
south by the River Tigris, the first
thing one sees nowadays is tall ODE

no people in the world but the Brit

the Saturday Evening Post. 1t stands
on The wide, sheil-torn and deeply

peninsula on which the town is built
where for IA days the shattered rem

double siege of constant bombardment
and slow starvation.
This obelisk was raised by the
Turks to commemorate the surrender
of General Townsend and their vic
tory over the British forces that had
tried so long and so heroically to re-
lieve him. To me it was an exclama-
tion point to punctuate my own aston

Was ever anything quite so prema-

had the British in Mesopotamla per-

TO END NOBILITY.
Canadian Plan Strikes at Very
Ancient institution.
Proposal ls Called Radical and Affects
Titles That Run Back TO the
Old French Regime.

The report from Ottawa that the
Canadian nobility Is to be abolished
may be the first news to not a few
on that side of the border, as well as
to many on this side, that Canada
has a nobility. The proposal is called
radical, and 1t certainly does strike
ut very ancient institution, states a
writer in Providence Journal. If such
law is enacted in accordance with
the recommendations of the govern
ment, in the form Of an order in coun-
Gil, mo hereditary title shall hereaft-
er be conferred upon a British subject
resident of Canada" and appropriate
action shall be taken by the govern
ment to provide that, after pre-
scribed period, no title held by Brit
ish subject now or hereafter Ordina-
rily resident I'm Canada, shall be rec
ognized as having hereditary effect"
The reference presumably is to the
titles that have come down from the
period when the king Of France 'con-
coded his North American possessions
in fiefs of duchies, marquisates, coun-
ties, viscOunties, barOnies and other
seigniories to the members of the
noblesse, military officers and other
men of merit admitted to the noblesse"
according to the old chronicle. And
although, as one of the ancient regime
has plaintively observed, democracy
has hatred for natural superiority
and endeavOrs to crush it out" the
titular nobility seems to have survived
among the "bourgeoisie" and peas
antry' of the husky young Dominion.
Canada has its college of arms and
can claim descent from patrician
families, or who by feats of arms or
other public achievements have shown
their merit, have qualified in some of
the orders, and are privileged to dis
play the ribbons and wear the court
dress of clark blue, red cord, gilt but
tons of the imperial two-headed eagle.
cavalry saber, and blue, red or green
SASH" At about the time Of the Civil
war one of these orders invited the
membership of 'those of the American
states disguised with the vulgarity
and tyranny of democracy" and its
rolls contain the names Of General
Gordon, General Vance and other dis
tinguished personages of the Southern
confederacy. Among the old French
titles are Due d'Arkansas and Baro
net Of Novia Scotia.

The mill will be what is known
as a 2-band mill, and will be of

machinery will be driven by
electric power, and the output
of the mill will be from 100000
to 100000 feet per day. The
mill, proper, will be eleven hund-

mill, and the coast railroads. and
logging will continue all winter.
Four sidings, or spurs are be-
ing built in the mill yard, to
