Splendid Sdght as They Came Charg- "'ing Across the Field as in Days of Old. Despite the many efforts of army officials of the Allied nations to have cavalry regiments changed into light and heavy artillery, because of their incompetence in trench warfare, the recent successes of cavalry commands attached to General Haig's army in checking the German offensive em- phasizes the further need of the mounted organizations in this and future wars. The cavalry had made history long before all Europe had arrayed itself to suppress the common foe of.demo- cracy. During the present German offensive the cavalry got its long-de- sired wish to distinguish and to prove to the world once again that mounted men still constitute a force to be reck- oned with and thsCt the service is not a useless adjunct of the army. Valuable in Present Offensive. These mounted organizations have at no other time since the beginning of the great conflict been able to play such an important part in this war as they have during the great bat- tles which have taken place on the western front recently. They have been stretched along the battle line, filling in gaps, strengthening the line and covering the retirement of the infantry. During the first three days of the Teuton drive the mounted men accomplished valuable work, fighting mostly on foot. Dismounted cavalrymen held the Ollezy-Ham line, where the fighting was terrific, while the infantrymen withdrew. One party of dragoons was cut off all night, during which they were out in the open battling for their lives. Fin- ally, they cut their way through the enemy's lines at Jussy by main force. On the 23rd of March the cavalry came into its own, for the horses were brought forward and the troopers be- gan a series of spectacular feats. When Noyon was first threatened cavalry was sent to hold the line of the Oise west of the town. The Brit- ish infantry was forced to fall back on the 26th, and the cavalry was pull- ed back also with the intention of occupying the ridge near the village of Porquerticourt, in the vicinity of Noyon. Canadian Cavalry .Vssist. The Germans were also aiming to get a foothold on this hill. A race developed between the horsemen and the enemy infantry across the rolling ground. Both reached the forest at about the same time, but the cavalry lost no time and rushed through the forest against the Germans. An in- tense battle at close quarters ensued and the cavalry was doing great exe- cution when the order came for them to fall back in order to cover the re- tirement of the infantry, which had succumbed to pressure at other points. The mounted men withdrew from the wood and brought up the rear, pausing often to fight rearguard actions with the hostly pressing en- emy. When word came from the British command that the wood northwest of Moreuil was filled with enemy in- fantry, who had brought forward great numbers of machine guns, which were mounted in every avail- able vantage point, even in trees, the gallant horsemen were called upon To clear the wood out. They respond- ed and came pounding up to the wood }n a picturesque manner. Here part of them dismounted and went on foot, but the Canadian horse tore on into "the forest and hurled themselves on the enemy. The Germans slowly gave way before the on.slaught until the â- western part of the wood had been cleared. Like Knights of Old. The cavalry was again called upon on April 1 to attack the enemy. They did and no more splendid sight has been seen along the battle line than when they came charging across the field as in days of old and drove straight into the banks of machine funs scattered among the trees. The rst charge gave the horsemen a foot- hold in the wood. They reformed and surged forward again. This time they got to the centre of the forest. Once more they drove their hor.ses full- tilt against the German line. The lat- ter held for a little and then sagged and broke and the Briti.sh stormed their way clear through the wood to the eastern side, the enemy flt'cing be- fore them. Behind them the ground was strewn with German dead and -Wounded. The Germans immediately reori(an- ized for a counter-attack and here the horse gunners accomplished more gallant wprk. As the enemy massed in the open, the artillerymen poured large quantities of shell into their ranks, one battery alone firing 2,000 rounds at the target. For an hour the German infantry marched ex- posing themselves to the hail of death. They kept coming forward, but only a few reached the wood and the attack was smashed by the troopers. « DISCLOSURE BY HUN PAPER. ' German Newspaper Reveals Vastness Of Spying System. The extraordinary number of Ger- man "agents" and spies who are still working for the Fatherland in Eng- land, France, Spain, the Scandinavian countries and America forms the sub- ject of an illuminating article in a re- cent issue of the Berlin Tageblatt. Herr Thgodor Wolff has apparently no intention of giving away any in- formation to the enemy in the matter. He is merely concerned with the scan- dal of granting exemption from the new German raxation proposals to this army of shirkers who, "under the pretence of working for Germany, are li\'ing a life of luxury abroad and es- caping military service." The Tageblatt's unconscious revela- tions are as follows: "The people who know what is go- ing on are amazed to learn how enor- mous is the number of people who are working in Germany's interest in for- eign countries. It will be e.xtraordin- arily interesting to hear something one day about their duties and their achievements. "W^hen the war broke out we were told in Germany that we had not done enough to make sure of the moral conquest of the world, that our re- sources in the matter of secret agents were too small and our methods too old fashioned. Instantly there arose a number of persons quick to under- stand the mag:nitude of the opportun- ity that was presented, and all these offered to help the Fatherland in this dire necessity. "Every one who pretended that he had some relationship with foreigners was sent away with plenty of money. Adventurous plans (of which noth- ing more was ever heard) were greed- ily accepted, and we threw ourselves into a great propaganda work which was considered 'intelligent' and 'mod- ern.' "All this was supposed to win over the world and turn the hearts of for- eign peoples towards us. In reality it spoiled the little that remained to spoil. In the reiAotest corners of the world, and still more extensively in neighboring countries, this work of 'information' was started. "All it has shown is that Germany still has a large reserve of strong men of military age." The simple dress of silk or satin finds a place in every wardrobe.

At length one woman, an intimate personal friend of his too indulgent mother, turned to her and said : "I can't think how you can let your little boy be so greedy and unruly at meal times. If he were mine, I should give him a good spanking." "Oh," said the mother; "'you can't spank the poor little chap on a full stomach." "No," said her friend, "but you can turn him over." It Was the Limit. lii connection with rationing, econ- omy recipes. Government flour, and ot.ner similar abominations, Madame Melba, who has just been made a Dame of the British Empire, recently told an amusing story of a bride who made a war-time cake for her lord and master. He ate of it and made a face. She ate of it and made another face. Then there was dead silence. Finally the bride summoned up courage to falter. "Iâ€" I'm afraid, dear, I left something out of this cake." "No. sweetheart." he gently re- plied, "nothing that you could have left out could make a cake taste iike this."

LIFT YOUR CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF ' "JOY-RIDING" IN A T.\NK. .\nything But a Pleasurable Experi- ence, Says a Correspondent. Joy-riding in a British tank means hanging on for dear life in a deafen- ing roar of machinery while the ma- chine lumbers up and down grades, alternately tossing its passengers first one way and then the other. X trial trip is thus described: "We accepted with some trepida- tion, an invitation to make a journey in the machine. About half a dozen of us entered by the narrow door and were cramped up on the little plat- form which runs on each side of the machinery. We held on like grim death with our hands. For a few mo- ments everything went well. Then there was an upward movement of the forepart of the tank and in a trice we found ourselves without a foot- hold and were suspended by our hands from the 'holdfasts.' "The vessel jerked violently as she started on her downward course. In the twinkling of an eye we were No humbug! Apply a few drops than just lift them away with fingers. Minard's Liniment Co., Ltd.

Just ask for freezone. Ap- , ply a drop or two di- rectly upon a tender corn or callus and in- stantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that , you can lift it off, root and all, with the fin-i gers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; not even the slightest smarting, either when applying freezone or i afterwards. i ' This drug doesn't elft up the corn or cal- ' lus, but shrivels them so they loosen and come right out. It is no humbug! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or com between the toes, as well as painful calluses on . bottom of your feet. It never dis- , appoints and never burns, bites or j inHames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet, tell him to get a little bottle for you from his whole- sale house. ,> . W hat He Inferred. A lieutenant was instructing his platoon in visual training. Said he'to the first man: "Now tell me, how many men are there in that trench- digging party over there?" "Thirty men and one officer," came the answer. "Quite right," said the lieutenant after a pause, "but how do you know one is an officer at this distance?" " 'Cos he's the only one not working, sir." .4 Slacker's .\Iibi. One of the recruiting canvassers in an English provincial town was a | well-known magistrate.

"My man,'.' said the magistrate in ! his most persuasive tones, "are you ' going to fight for your King and country?" | "No, I beant. sir," was the prompt reply. "And I be surprised at you ' askin' me for to do it.
