and the southern cities-and Paris has seen
no sadder procession than the lines of
dlspossessed people streaming through its
stations. There are the incredibly ancient,
men and women of eighty and ninety, who
mad made their way back to ruined homes
because they had not the vigor to take up
life in a new place; women with white,
set faces and children who crnge in terror
at the occasional distant explosion of one
of the shells which the long-range German
gun is sending into the city. One group
brought man of sixty-seven in charge of
two women, one eighty-three, the other
ninety-two. In another was a boy of four
teen, piloting a bewildered old grand
father, little sister and chubby brother
of four, who had been a baby when the
Germans took the mother away during the
first months of the war. The father is
still prisoner in Germany, but the mother
has been repatriated recently and the fam
lily was going on to rejoin her at ST.
Etienne.

But there are things in Bolivia other
than the temperature to impress the
traveller. "a really remarkable land"
the writer calls it, continuing:
This mountain republic stands at the
distributing crossroads for traffic through
South America. Two-ffths of its area is
mountain region, and the rest is composed
of vast stretches of swampy bottom lands,
forests, low hills and plains, lying on the
eastern border. 1t is land rich in mines
of silver, tin and copper. The climate is
Diverse and, like Peru, it il capable of great
extremes. One sees in La Paz lamas loaded
with ice from the north coming into the
market place to meet there mules loaded
with oranges and tropical fruits from the
south and eastern borders. 1t is land of
contrasts and rich resources, and is as de-
pendent upon the Indian race as is Peru.

"A municipal camp ground is rather a
novel idea, but, for that matter, there are
many novel things in California Indeed,
some one has said that the whole state is
the biggest experiment in social govern
ment in the world and one of the most
successful. The people of Californian
cities have a way of thinking for them

Needless to say. the camp is success
Hundreds of persons have been benefited
in a way that the expenditure of four or
five times the money elsewhere would never
have accomplished. Indeed, it is SO much
of a success that the Fairgrounds Depart

be operated in addition to the Seeley Flat

Monoplanes and Triplanes

FOR the last two years of war the
biplane type has been in practically
universal use, although during the last
year the British have employed few
squadrons of Sopwith triplanes with ex-
cellent results. However, at present
there are many indications that design
ers are again swinging back to the mono
plane in search of greater speed, better
climbing ability and greater manoeu-
wiring power. In a recent British official
statement it is admitted that excellent
results are being obtained at the front
with new monoplane On the other
hand, the Germans are now trying their
hand at triplanes, and it is reported that
they are rapidly increasing the number

There were only few Burmans in the
