A VOICE FROM THE TOMB.

Street car men in Huntington Va,
has organized and the Ohio Valley
Electric Railway company posts this
notice from the tomb in it's car barns:
ITO Our Trainmen: We observe
with much regret that some of our
men have seen fit to join the so-called
union of street car men. During the
brief time this has been going on
some of the men have set out to dis
pute the authority of the company Of
ficials and violate the rules of the
company, apparently doing these
things with the evident intention of
provoking trouble. The majority Of
our men do not want to have any
thing to do with such an organiza-
ton, and while some of them hav.
joined they have done so to be rid OF
the annoyance and criticism heaped
on them by the men who claimed to
be the organizers.
I'VE take this means to call your
attention to the fact that these condi-
lions do not meet with the approval
of the company.
eve wish to state that under no
circumstances will we recognize or
deal with any members or committee
from the so-callsd union coming TO
US as SUCH

A Scarlet Rider

Lieut.. Col. G. e. Sanders, d. s. O
OF the Second Canadian Pioneer Bat
TALON, holds a somewhat remarkable
record IN the Canadian forces. He Ii
said to be the first Canadian office,
who has ever been known to sugges,
that his command should be taken owe,
by a younger man. In view of the
splendid work which has been done
by the Second Pioneer Battalion, the
Canadian authorities have been rath
er hard to persuade on this point; but
Colonel Sanders has, unfortunately, in.
sisted that, while he may still be use
full in other directions, pioneering is q
young mans job. Colonel Sanders
who fought through the Boer war will
distinction, was before that war II

Police at Calgary. Indeed, he returned
to that command Of famous "Moun

The town of Wenden, one of the old

The story of Wenden goes back seven

1910, and though it is now scarcely
more than crumbling ruin. as it was
never restored after the destructive
fire Of 174s, around it cluster many
romantic and fascinating stories.
One Of the most celebrated grand
masters Of the Brethren Of the Sword
was Walter Won Plettenberg, who ross

the fifteenth century and was finally
recognized as prince Of the empire
by the Emperor Charles V in 1927;

The most tragic chapter in the
history Of Wenden was enacted In 1877
when the members Of the garrison OF
the castle, besieged by the forces Of
the implacable Ivan the Terrible, blew
themselves up rather than fall into the
hands Of the car. The castle was
soon repaired, however, and shor,

With a continuance of the war, in
the next year at least 10000 nurses
will be needed in army hospitals at

tions permit. Nurses who prefer not
to have service abroad will have their
