OUR SECRET SERVICE.


 Although all the details have not been made public in connection with the Caillaux arrest in France. 1t is iin- possible to overlook the important ser vice which this country has been rem dering in undermining and bringing to light the intrigue which Germany has been conducting. This has in- volved this country both directly and indirectly, but it has also concerned other countries. both those which are allied with us in the war and those which had decided upon maintaining neutrality.
 That mass of diplomatic correspond : ence which the secret service came into possession of has displayed German activity in no uncertain light. It has been opened up for public inspection bit by bit as conditions required, the schemes which Germany was practic- ing in order to strike the enemy in the back. Count Luxburg proves to have been master hand at this work except when it came to keeping it se- cret. But for the revelations which have been made there is no telling what would be the situation in South America today.
 What the revelations regarding Gail laux will amount to will be revealed at the hearing which this prominen, Frenchman will get. He appears te have recognized the seriousness of the work he was engaged in and the dan ger of having his connection with Luxburg revealed, but it remains for France to get to the bottom of his activity whether he was successful ir his undertakings or not. The impor- tant service which the United States has been rendering in striking at Ger many's trickery is however clearly sci forth

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

MT. John Burroughs, the famous oc- togenarian naturalist, sends the New York Tribune a powerful "plea for ostracism of all things German" under the title Gan Peace Make Us Forget?" He recites the unspeakable trocities of the Germans, and asks if after the war the world will be willing to say Never mind; let it pass; busi- ness is business, and it will be the same in a hundred years" For him. self MT. Burroughs says:-
 I will never again use an article made in modern Germany, if I know it; l will never look into a modern German book; I will favour the ex- elusion of the German language and literature from our schools and col leges; and I would drive every un- naturahzed German from this coun- try.

Now that we are all talking about queues, and one lady has originated a new ailment called "queue cold" it is interesting to look at the early use of the word. Carlyle wrote in his French Revolution 30 years ago about that talent of spontaneously standing in queue" which distinguishes the French people,. Later, Thackeray al- Mded to a thaf mile queue of car- riages." The word has affinity to "cauda" the Latin word for tail, and is French. Of course, queue used to be applied to the pig-tail of hair worn in olden times.
 Whatever else the magnificent ruins discovered in an Amazonian forest may be, they are not the remains of Fl Dorado, for that name, so often applied by us to an Incan city, wot not a place at all but a man. Fabu- lous stories of untold riches fired is the buccaneering days of the 16tI, century the imagination of many a Spaniard and Englishman, including often distrous expeditions into South America in seach of the golden city where it was said, the ruler was smeared in oil and rolled in gold dust and hence called Fl Dorado, the gold e man.
 Not many, we imagine, could trace the origin of the word "hapdoodle,' D used by Mrs. Sexton, the Liverpool Dockers' delegate. at 8 recent Trade Union Congress. It is 8 relic of the bad old cock k-f1ghting days. As used by MT. Sexton, it implied that there was too much trifling and not suf- ficient stamina about certain policy MT. Sexton doubtless remembered the word from the old Lancashire cock fighters. A certain class of fighting cock, when placed in the cock pit, in stead of facing it's adversary forth with, would strut about with Tapping wings, growing all the while, in the hope of frightening the other birt without coming to blows.
