that the mortality among German chill

Brend, man who candidly admits that
the matter of infant mortality is 10 some

"If maternal ignorance Is the main cause
Of high infant mortality rate, we must

there is no reason to believe that rural
mothers are 50 much better informed in

We cannot assume that the COnnaught
peasantry-man of whom can neither
read nor write-are so well instructed in
the care of infants that as a result infant

and hard conditions, is onc-half that

n 5 intimate a glimpse as readers of
L n fiction have ever been afforded of
that most picturesque body Of constabu-
larry in the world-the Canadian Royal
Northwest Mounted Police-is found in
Benton Of The Royal Mounted, by Ralph
s. Kendall. The author himself holds the
rank of sergeant in that famous organiza-
ton, and what he writes of it bears the
stamp of authenticity. Much of the book,
one feels, is photographed, but whether
or not Benton is Kendall, the hero is n
duty and did il quietly and efficiently.
Oftentimes that meant a hurry call for
the coroner TO come on the next train,
but the law was upheld.
As true and vivid a picture as ever
Frederic Remington painted is sketched
by the authors pen in the opening chap
Ter, which describes the canteen of the
old mounted police post of l. Division 4
score of soldierly looking men are seated
about small tables playing cards or
perched on high stools against the bar
Some wear the regulation uniform of Tia,
service, the scarlet serge tunic, dark blue
cord riding breccheS with broad yellow
stripe down the side and high brown
StrathcOna boots with spurs attached,
Others are in loose, easy, brown fatigue
suits. The atmosphere is hay with to-
baccO smoke as the beer glasses circu-

Fusilier seated at the piano raises his

of feet and banging of beer tankards that
mark each chorus attest.
A break has come in the life Of the or
ganiZation of which Benton was a mem
Der. The war has called many of the

Boxing for Beginners"

WHEN the director of physical train

book with the title Boring for Beginners
and Bdyonet Fighting, its worth a look
If you once look into Mr. William j.
Jacomb's book with the title given you'll
look all the way through; if for no other
reason than because it consists almost
wholly Of phOtographs-very fine photo
graphs-of various blows in boxing.
Everything seems TO be pictured and be-
low each photograph there is a brief de-
scriptiOn, just couple of sentences or so,

Bayonet fighting is similarly illustrated,
but here there is really chapter" made
of words as well as pictures Bayonet
fighting is treated Of in its relation TO
boxing, or TO put it more correctly, the
business Of the chapter is to show the APP
plication Of the principles of boxing to
the use of the bayonet. The book con
cludes with the boxing rules as settled By
the War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities.
A little book that will interest The boy

Conan Doyle, War Historian.
Nearly the whole of the third volume of
Conan Doyles History Of the Great War
is devoted TO the battle of the Somme. In
his preface, written last February, the
author explains why this is so:
at can be said without fear OF ultimate
contradiction that nothing approaching TO
the battle of The Somme has
ever been known in military history, and
that it is exceedingly improbable that it
ever will be equalled in IFS length and in
its severity. 1t may be said to have ragged

breaking of the weather, from July l TO
November II, 1916, and during this pro-
longed period the picked forces of three
great nations were locked in close battle

and their united casualties came to the
appalling total Of at least thrce-quarters
of a million"

boat in the Mediterranean, according
to La Journal A large submarine, of
which he was second in command. had
just torpedoed a British steamer be-
between Malta and Sicily. The German
was waiting to see the vessel sink when
two French patrol boats emerged from
the fog and sank the U-boat. OF the
crew of rs only one officer and four
men were rescued by the patrol boats.
While being taken to Toulon the off,
Ger appeared Ill at ease. When he
thought no one was looking he tried
to throw some papers overheard, but a
sailor seized his arm. He refused to
answer questions, but an examination of
the papers explained his uneasiness.
La Journal asks If the man who
committed "the most vile, the most
barbarous and the most cowardly act in
the ANIMALS of war is merely to be sent
to a prison camp.
