Peaceful Scenes On Battlefield.

A marvellous change has come over the battledelds of Gallipeli. There are very few evidences of the great con Aict which was waged there. and the landscape Is dotted with herds and picturesque shepherds. Occasionally one will come across pile of wire or other debris as reminder of the pres ence of the armies The land Is to great extent under tiliage or being prepared for crops.

It has long been known tHat traces of arsenic are 10 be found not only ln human and animal organism, but in certain plants. such as the cabbage turnip and potato, and ia wheat. Jailn and Astruc, members Of the French Academy Of Sciences have shown that arsenic k also to bc found in rice, peas. beans. lettuce. celery. asparagus. parsnps and iu most vegetables used as food by man, as well es in apples, pears, piueapples, oranges and nuts, Since plants undoubtedly get the ele- ment from the soil, arsenic must occur far more widely in nature than was at one time supposed.

laws of Canada.
~ is not yet fifty years since the inception of
the Mounted Police. At that time Canada.
west of Lake Superior, was a howling wilder
ness, without law or order of any sort With
the purchase of the Northwest Territories from
the hudson Bay Company however the gov
ernment decided that some means must be
taken to police the new districts, and in 1874
Sir John Macdonald, then Premier. formed
the Northwest Mounted Police In the fall Of
the same year the first force of 800 men
marched across the plains, establishing police
posts as they went, and the reign Of utter law
iessness In the West came to an end.
The story of the police on the plains for the
next twenty-five years is one of hardships
bravely endured and difficulties gloriouslv
overcome. They had first of all to win the
confidence Of the Indians, and in this their
scarlet uniform played no small part Scarlet
had been chosen mainly because the United
States troopers wore blue, and the Indians be-
heved they had been very badly treated by the
Americans. The mere sight of blue uniform,
was, therefore, enough to send them whooping
on the war path. With the scarlet coated no.
lice, however, they were disposed to be friend
". Treaties We're concluded all along the line,
by which the Indians surrendered all claims
to the land in exchange for the promise of DO
lice protection against other Indians and white
settlers alike and equal justice to all, plus an
annual allowance of flour, blankets and money
from the Canadian government.
The next task was to enforce the laws of the
dominion. Not only the Indians, but also he
half-breed and white settlers had to be i'm
pressed with the fact that laws were made to
be obeyed, and that the police were there to
see that they were obeyed. The officers soon
saw that this could be accomplished only by
never failing to punish crime. For in such
primitive and sparsely settled region failure
to capture and punish one criminal would soon
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08

breed contempt for all law, and one murderer
unhung was considered q standing invitation
to others to take the law into their own hands.
Hence the famous slogan of the police: "Get
your MANI So well did they live up to it
that the laws of the Dominion were soon re-
spected far more and enforced far more ef-
fectively in the Western wilderness than in
the City of Montreal.
The police records abound with instances
of the relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. A
small body of men in the beginnng--only 800
strong-was intrusted with the duty of main
tanning order over an area of more than 3OO,-
600 square miles. 1t meant the hardest kind
of work, and called for courage, stamina and
endurance of the highest order. 1t meant
long, lonely patrols in the dead of winter,
when for weeks on end no sign of other
human life was to be seen and the traveller
faced nothing but never ending vista Of
silent forests and wind-swept rivers. It
meant, too the leaving Of many bones by the
wayside before the westward creeping march
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08

of civilization brought the entire prairie coun-
try under constituted authority.
AS new posts were flung further and fur
ther into the wilds the Mounted Police would
be for a time the only constituted authority,
and would function for every department of
the Dominion government. Thus a sergeant
in the mounted might easily be called upon to
act as postmaster, health commissioner, Gus
toms agent, immigration officer and tax col
lector as we'll as policeman, coroner, Judge
and jury. AS settlers drifted in and the
post grew in size and Importance the govern
ment would appoint officials of each depart
Lent, and the work Of the Mounted Police
would be finished there.
The amalgamated force known as the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police now comprises
about 1900 officers and men and 75O horses.
They are scattered all over the Dominion, from
Halifax to Vancouver, in eleven posts and
137 detachments. They are the force upon
which Canada relies for the enforcement of
federal legislation in every quarter of the

1t strikes me as stand here tonight that
if you fellows would put on laundered shirts
and clean your ingernails now and then you'd
make better appearance
From what hear about you you are getting
an awful lot of money for work that is merely
muscle work-no brains in it-and you are
always making lot Of trouble for ship and
dock owners. Besides that, you fight among
yourselves a good deal, and keep the police
busy too often to suit me.
But suppose your votes are as good as any
body else's, and need 'sm. That's why I'm
here
If elected shall vote on every measure just
as my district leader tells me to vote, and shall
be as little at the state Capitol as possible
certainly shall no nothing for you fellows,
and I'll thank you not to annoy me by coming
to see me at the Capitol. It would get me in

any Of you.

military titles. The force also employs sur

Quoted under strict military discipline when in

Because of the new duties devolving on The
Mounted Police it is not to be supposed that
