KING GEORGES REIGN.

This is the ninth anniversary of the accession to the British throne of King George ", as it was on May 6, 1910, that Edward VII. breathed his last The reign of King George has been destined by fate to be among the most eventful in Britain's long history. In the crisis that has con- fronted the country King George has played the role of a constitutional monarch, and has not attempted to gain 8 place fin the limelight. By so doing he haA gained the respect of the world, which has grown weary of royal pomp, and which has scant re- spect for the divinity that was for merly supposed to hedge a, king.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

On this date in TITS the American forces under Gen. John Thomas abandoned the siege of Quebec. That city, the last in the Province where waved the flag of England, had with stood a desperate assault by Benedict Arnold, General Montgomery and their troops, in which Montgomery was killed. Gen. Carleton, the mili- tary genius in command of Quebec, refused all intercourse with the 'rebels," who through the winter maintained a strict blockade. Before taking command of the American troops in Canada, General Thomas had served this country under the British flag. A physician by profes- sion, he had acted as surgeon in the provincial army sent to Nova Scotia in 1746, He commanded a regiment in 176O in the capture of Montreal.

GERMAN SUBMARINES
PUT OUT or BUSINESS BY
DEPTH CHARGES
(By Associated Press.)

London. Jan. 16.--Depth charges,
in the opinion Of many officers en-
gagged in submarine chasing, were the
chief factor in checking the German
submarine campaign. The war had
gone on for nearly two and half
years before the depth charges were
perfected. Previous to that time
trawlers dragged mines about on
cables in an effort to strike subma-
rines and used other equally danger
ous and futile devices.
But the perfected depth charges,
SO arranged that they could be timed
for explosion at any desired depth.
solved the problem of the small chas-
ers which were fighting the subma
rine. Trawlers with sufficient speed
could drop these charges and get out
OF the danger zone. The mortality
among submarine chasers immediate
ly dropped and the seas became very
unsafe for the sensitive underseas
craft.
One of the novel devices adopted By
the British for the coordination OF
the efforts of trawlers and submarines
has just been divulged. A trawler
would drag submarine by cable
and maintain communication with 1t
by telephone. When the trawler sight
ed German U-boat, the British sub
marine would slip its cable and attack
the German boat before the surprised
Germans could submerge or prepare
to give fight.

Amsterdam, Jan. 16.-The five car.

cording to NJ Oudenlyk, formerly

1. High wages.
2. Don't work.
8. Take other peoples property
4. No punishment.
5. No taxation.

give, "a solemn warning to the work
ing classes of all nations against the
high-falutin notions which l havc seen
in Russia. Bolshevism, say without
exaggeration, is the end of civilization
have known Russia intimately for
twenty years under the old regime and
under the new conditions. Never have
the working classes of Russia suffered
as they are doing at the present mo-
ment Notwithstanding all that the
present so-called ruling classes in that
country choose to tell the world.
"The bulk of the workmsn in Rus
sia are today far and away worse on
than they ever have been and the
state of unemployment is simply ter
rible. When I left Petrograd tie sit
uation was one Of utter starvation and
most people hardly knew how they
would exist through the following day.
Wherever Bolshevism rules, the ma
ton has been beaten TO pulp and is
utterly helpless. The future to me
seems hopeless. One thing is certain
that, left az she is now, Russia will
be In a state of utter and complete
ruin.
Factories are at q standstill and
are being ruined, and, without the aid
Of foreign capital, they can never be
revived. have never seen or dreamt
of the possibility OF such corruption,
tyranny, and the absence Of all SEM
blance of freedom as there is in Rus
sia at the present moment.
Most OF the workmen now begin
TO see that the regime fBolshevisr1
cannot possibly last. The whole world
must stand shoulder to shoulder so
that out Of the ruins something may
arise, but personally know not
what"
