“This torpedo can be directed to take any course and to alter its course at any distance automatically. Supâ€" post a Warship or other target to be 2,000 yards from the submarine about to fire a torpedo. The range is set for 2,000 yards plus an additional 500 yards. If the torpedo hits the target within that range its mission is com- pleted, but if it misses it travels on for 500 yards, then swings back, boomerang fashion and zigâ€"zags or circles with a bias in the direction of the moving target until it strikes. The rudder can be so set as to oper- ate the torpedo in a logarithmic spiral. The return of the torpedo “Its mechanical simplicity renders it the more efficient, and it is claimed that when the new equipment is fully installed even Heligoland and Wil- helmshaven will cease to be safe re- fuges for a fleet. “Seven years ago, Bleriot crossed te English Channel in an aeroplane, and the world wondered. To-day,‘ the European sky is dotted with flying men. Without a doubt, war has de- veloped mechanics, aeronautics and every science years ahead of normal progress. Every war department is stirring its brains, dOWn to the pri- vate in the trenches who constructs his own periscope from a stick and a broken mirror, which at times proves as efi'ectiVe as the periscope-rifle which enables the soldier to shoot without exposing himself above the parapet. There is no end to the in- novations for destruction, but one which the English navy claims will actually search for a target is worthy of mention and that is a new torpedo. “At times it is primitive and sav- age,” he says, “added to which are the deadly climatic conditions, and the fear of attacks from tarantulas, reptiles, ferocious animals and all the diseases of the tropics.

When those deported were conveyed to the railway station and loaded into the cattle trucks they kept crying: ‘Vive la France,’ and singing the ‘Marseillaise.’" “At Roubaix the Prussian Guard refused to participate in the raids and the work had to be done by the Sixty-Fourth Regiment from Verdun. “Men especially suffered torture at seeing their wives daughters and children of both sexes over the age of fourteen led away. “The protests of mayors and other officials went unheeded. The victims in all cases were chosen arbitrarily by the officer in charge of the deporting party. The Yellow Book continues: “The measure caused the greatest anguish and despair among the popu- lation of the notified districts, while in some cases it led to madness. The Germans’ orders were for the people in certain districts of these towns to assemble in readiness for departure at their front doors, and none was to leave the house before 8 am. The orders stated that “all protests will be useless and any one trying to evade deportation will be pitilessly punished." Inhabitants of Northern France De- ported to Germany. Poignant deails of the deportation at an hour and a half’s notice of 25,- 000 citizens from the French towns of Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing by the Germans last Easter, are given in a.

The captain of the company was all that a captain should not be. He was short and stout and round of shoulder. Needless to say, among his men he was known as “Humphy.’ One night, on return- ing to camp, the sentry let him go unchallenged, and so roused his mili- tary wrath. “What the Blue Alsa- tian mountains do you mean?” he snapped out. “Why didn't you de- mand the countersign'!” The sentry trembled with fear so badly that his wits got shal'en. “Badad, sir," he stammered, “I thought you was a c-c-c-amel."

Lake Louise will also provide de- lectable trail paths, especially that leading to Paradise Valley and its circle of giant summits, and Sentinel Pass, leading to the valley of the Ten Peaks, while in the Rocky Mountain Park and Banff, the routes are multiâ€" plying year by year.

Its sacrifices for humanity are great, but its services for humanity are greater.” “We have now the equipment for victory in men and material. The great battle of July has demonstrated that our armament is, to say the least, equal to the best our foe can command, and that our men are bet- ter than the best he can put into the battle line. Eoch month sees our armament increasing and our men improving. Many trail trips are now made in loo’ps, There is the one from Glacier station up the Cougar Valley to the caves and back by a loop route and over a pass that brings to view some of the sublimest scenery in the Sel- kirks. The liberal ups and downs of this unique scenic route, as the rail- }ways would say, add to the interest, now in the bed of the valley, closed in by trees and huge plants like the De- vil’s Club, now climbing a thousand feet from which superb views are had of the king‘ly peaks nKe Sir Donald. “In August, 1915, those who knew the difficulties and the means at the command of the allies to surmount them had grave apprehensions as to the course of the war in the coming months.

The trail traveller will find another region of infinite variety and attrac- tiveness in the series of trails radiatâ€" ing from Field and leading up the Yoho Valley to the Yoho Glacier field as its upper end. Hundreds of miles of excellent trails have been made in the Canad- ian mountain ranges by the Canad- ian Pacific Railway and the National Parks department of the Canadian Government. Most of them are made for pony use, and mounted on one of these sure-footed little beasties of the west, you can be an explorer of the wilds and revel in the experience. Every mile of the devious way is a way of varying charm, every turn of the trail reveals new wonders. But the mountain trails are the mom: alluring of them all, and hitting trails is the rarest of sport in Rockâ€" ies or Selkirks, all the way from the Kananaskasis Pass on the east to the Yale gateway on the west. Canada is a land of trails. Trails over mountains and hills, across prairies and through forests, by the banks of rivers beyond num- ber and across country toward a dis- tant sky line. Trails made by red men, and by nature. Ran-est of Sport in the Rockies or Selkirks. ALLIES’ POWER EVIDENT. HITTING THE TRAIL. Wheelock Engine, 150 H.P., 18 x 42, with double main driving belt 24 ins.
