come soon" said r. l. Richardson. edi-
tor of the Winnipeg Free Press. The
same opinion was expressed by others
OF the party.
.T am happy to return to Canada and

and to tell them of the friendship that
has grown up between the American,

continued MIR. Richardson.
Speaking of the sights that had i'm
pressed him most, Mr.. Richardson
said:
The whole journey was one of edu-
cation and enlightenment, but l was
particularly impressed by the grea.
mass of troops the allies are forming
behind the aghtinG lines and the grand
fleet, supplemented by numerous first
class American battleships. harding
the Great Britain coast and keeping
the lanes OF transportation open on the
high seas. On one day while we were
guests of the grand feet we saw a
string of battleships two abreast and
seventeen miles long.
The king impressed me as being a
very earnest and democratic man. For
more than an hour he talked with us
as though we were having lunch in our
own homes. He expressed himself as
being particularly pleased that the
United States had entered the conflict

HARD WINTER ON BIRDS.

According to Bourbon county farm
ers who are close observers, the win
ter which it is fondly hoped, is now
past, was an unusually hard one on
birds, especially the quail and other
wild birds whose living depended en-
tirely on their own efforts.
They are of the opinion that the
winter has almost wiped out the
quail, and hundreds of rabbits have
been found frozen to death. Thous-
ands of fish were frozen in the ice
during the terrible winter. The
farmers predict that the Game Com
mission will have to restock the
country with game, especially the
birds.
Many farmers report an almost to-
tai disappearance of pigeons from
their places, and it is feared these
birds were also frozen, or had gone
South upon approach of the first
billiards.
The past winter will go down in
history as one of the severest in its
toll of death of both man, beast AMI
birds, within the recollection of tbs
present generation.

WOMEN REPLACING MEN ON
= WESTERN RAILROADS.

Due to a lack of men to perform
the work, the railroad officials ara
installing large number of young
women in positions along the lines
in Nebraska and the States to the
west. Indications are that when tn 2
spring rush of business sets in many
more women will take railroad posi-
lions formerly occupied by men who
have gone to war or engaged in
other occupations.
All through Nebraska young wo-
men are being employed as opera
tors and assistants to the station
agents in the larger towns. In
many of the small towns where
the male agents have enlisted or gone
into other lines of work the station
work is being performed by women
and reports indicate that they gen.
orally are giving the best of salts
faction.
On the Union Pacific the trunk
line telephone wire from Omaha to
Ogden is handled entirely by women
whereas six months ago men were
employed as stenographers. The
telephone line handles practically all
the company business, including the
train orders.
