although it is bound to come now in short order.One great factor in the bringing about of peace at the earlier date is the large number of honest, intelligent, patriot Mexicans who have treen compelled to leave alland escape from Mexico.In San Antonio, Texas, alone there are today about 70,000 Meaicans who had to escape {rum Mexico during the last three months in order to save their lives.In El Paso there are 26,- 000 more.These penpls leit oll they had in Mexico, some even still have their.familics down there.and will move heaven and carth to bring about order and to be able to go hack to their native land and to resume their 1{ peaceful pursuits.There are also many thousands more in Mexico who formerly had revolutionary inclinations and who.now that they hae had a good taste of it.are honestly i | sick of revolutions and longing for .peace.Terrorized by Criminals.\u201cThe climax canot be far off.Soon somebody is bound to arise who will > treat these bandits as they deserve to be treated, just as bandits are treated in the United States when caught.Here you put them in the electric chair or hang then.The same sort of thing must be done in Mexico.Those hundred thousand bandits who are today terrorizing Mexico are not newly horn babies.They are hardened criminals, and should be treated as such.for theie will be no pence in Mexico until the criminal element is put down and -trushed by à strong hand.\u2018 What thev need in Mexico now is a beast tamer to make the beasts behave like human beings.\u201d \u201cAnd who is this chosen one, this master of men?\u201d \u201cPerhaps we do xnow who the I am enjoying the hospitality of the United States\"\u2014he was very keen on the hospitality idea.\u201cI am, therefore not in a position to speak as freely as 1 might do otherwise.\u201d \u201cWell, some people have declared that you were not given a fair opportunity to show what you could do for Mexico?\u201d His only answer to that was: *When I was constitutionally elected President of Mexico by the Senate, Congress and Supreme Court\u201d\u2014 Huerta enjoyed emphasizing the Mexican legality of his election\u2014\u201cthere were seventy thousand Americans in Mexico.Any of these seventy thou- nd will tell you that during my rule oreigners were respected and indus- ries prospered.Now\"\u2014and he smiled deprecistingly\u2014\"now it is somewhat different.\u201d .so \u201cBut had you remained in power, what would you have done for Mexico?\u201d \u201cA Nice Docile Indian.\u201d Then he laurched forth dé large en this favorite topic, embroidering ail the beautiful socialistic schemes tht each Mexican reformer studies by note for United States consump- ton.Land problems, school prob- fems, financial problems \u2014 he had solved them all.It wes amusing to listen to the glib he styled himpelf-rattie off these high sounding sentiments, and then to watch Huerta himself.He looked tike nothing so much as a nice docile Indian, sll dressed up for Sunday in\u2019 to meeti\u2019,.He wam't 8 bit Free looking nor dissipated.It was difficult to conneet him with all the fearful tales they told about him.His head was nice and round and inoffensive.His forehead was not obttusive.His eyes were commonplace;

London, Jan.31.\u2014 31.08 p.m.\u2014~The War Office communication issued today says: \u201cThe German artillery has bombarded Shick and opened an active fire in the region of Lake Babit.The enemy fired on our trenches near Oger (region at Mitau) with explosive bullets from machine guns.\u201cNorth of the Pohiewesch railroad and between Lakes Medmousk and Demmen the enemy opened a violent artillery fire.\u201cOn the middle Stripa our scouts surrounded an Austrian detachment of rural guards.In the hand to hand encounter that ensucd most of the Austrians were bayoneted.The others were captured.\u201cA great increase in the number of enemy deserters has been observed recently.\u201cIn the Caucasus the operations during the past fortnight against the Turkish front justified our expectations.After developing the first coup against the Turkish center into an important success, General Youdevitch pursued the enemy and threw their advance guards on the fortification of Erzerum.At the same time Russian troops, by an impetuous advance against the Turkish right wing, compelled the Turks to evacuate the reg- fon of Melazghert and *Khuysskala and retreat on the Mush valley.These operations have had the result of dislodging the enemy from a region sixty versts (about forty miles) long which had previously been fortified and organized.\u201cWe now descend from the moun- \u2018tainous regions, with their rigorous climate, into regions well populated and easily accessible, and favorable for the encampment of om troops for the period of the winter.\u201cIn the course of these operations we took numerous prisoners of Turkish officers and Askaris and guns, machine guns, great quantities of artillery and engineering material.\u201cOn the 29th our scouts

bleeding piles some years ago by using Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment.His doctor could do nothing for him and recommended a surgical operation as the only means of cure.Luckily his wife had heard about Dr.Chase's Ointment and complete cure resulted from this treatment.It is by the cure of extreme cases Nike this that Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment has: won the reputation of being about e.only actual cure for piles\u2014itch- bleeding and protruding piles.r.Samuel Parker, fruit grower, Qeimsby, Ont, has made the following declaration before Mr, W.W., Notary Public, of the same place: \u201cI do

wdvertisement regarding housing accommodation for instructors of the « fous Rifle Company.It is nearly a year ago since Sir Chartes Ross cou- sulted our Aldermen about the question of housing accommodation for his employees.But, se far as we know, absolutely nothing has been done to solve this important question since thea.In order that unskilled labor may be used in the Ross Factory it is ah- solutely essential that there should be a large number of skilled ana competent instructors housed Quebec.To provide rooms and board for these experts is the problem with which Sir Charles is faced and for the solution of which he counts upon the co-operation of Quebec householders.If the desired aec- commodation is not forthcoming, 1t seems only too likely that the Ross will have to give out sub-contracts for various operations connected witn the manufacture of the rifle and wa believe that this has already been done in the case of the sights.It is to be hoped that there will be = prompt \u201cesponse to this request of the Ross Rifle and that the matter will soon be settled satisfactorily.It will be a bad thing for Quebec if more business is sent elsewhere.CANADA'S SWITZERLAND.There is no question of the manner in which Switzerland has been hit by the European war.The little republic has heen hit hard.With the exper.fence of Belgium in mind, the Swiss acted both with promptness and ef- fiency in maintaining neutrality.Thefrontiers have been guarded from the outset.This is neither perfunctory nor spasmodic.From the beginning to time of writing, military provisions have been everywhere adequate.The Chronicle does not pretend that it Germany wished to invade Swiss tere rvitory.as it overran a portion of Belgium, the invaders could be kept out.But the attempt would involve great a sacrifice of lives, the defense would he so Herce and vigorous, that violation of neutrality would prov: YGittle less than staggering in its cost.With industries crippled, with the treasury drawn upon for abnormal sums for military cxigencies, and with sundry policies of the Allies making for isnlation of Switzerlandthere is little wonder that commercial and industrial concerns are in bad shape.One quarter in which the country has heen markedly affected is that generally indicated as the tourist business.In time of peace.Switzerland is the objective point of scores of thousands of visitors.not only from American shores, but alsn from continental Europe.In no other country have the interests nf entertainers to the public, both a< regards hotels and pensions and railroad amt flake travel, heen so closely welded ax la Switzerland.In short, the busines: of entertaining tourists has been reduced tn a fine art which Quebre would do well to study more.Frot the most pretentinus hotels down to modest pensions, every pnckethonk is met: while in print of railroad travel, us well as in the lake and mountain betd, the tourist will (ind every reas- enable want anticipated.At the lowest calculation, the tour- tat business of Switzerland is worth $100,000.000 a year; and the best part of the feature centres in this: that visors go away well satisfied that they fgve had the worth of their moner.When the reader stops to reflect upon the embargo placed upon tourist travel from the United States alone, hy reason of war, it is easy to concetve =.a that the Swiss Federal railways have Bad such poor pickings that government revenue from this source has Shattered RVE S Nelpleas ome cent.since September, 1914.Take the case of Italy slso.As a belligerent country.Italy, which asanwally welcomes increasing throngs of tourists from Christendom, has naturally witnessed a contraction of the tourist business.This has made for the closing of any number of resorts, with corresponding embarrassment to the travelling public.It has been said that before the war American tourists were spending of Trans-Atlantic traffic has been make the most of its present opportunity to derive some benefit from the situation by diverting as much as possible of it to this neighborngui while the war is on.Few cities in the world have such a charm tor the vis- ina itor as has the Ancient Capital.With its wealth of historical associations.| its natura! beauty and picturesque ! situation, its healthy and bracing air, \"its surrounding glory of mountain, forest, lake and river, its quaint and pretty villages, its fishing and hunting, its military activity, ous other attractions, it has an appeal for all kinds and conditions of men and women.Historian, novelist, globe-trotter, hunter, angler, canoc- ist, summer holiday-maker, tired busi- | ness man\u2014everyone who comes here can find what he wants and go away satisfied.The Canadian Pacific Railway is spending thousands and thousands of dollars to bring tourists to Quebec and Mr.McMahon of the Chateau \u2018 Frontenac is doing much to cater to , this traffic.But itssimportance ana the significance of the present oppo.tunity seem hardly to have been realized as yet by our business men generally and we are surprised that th: Board of Trade has not given it more earnest consideration.The time to strike is now, for the fact is clear that when the war is over, there is bound to be an abnormal tide of travel eastward to Europe again.Ohviously, great numbers of | people will visit the countries now embraced within the war ares, in response to family considerations.On top of this travel must be the volume of demands for transportation and entertainment on the part of a legion of people who will have for some time heen denied the privilege as well as the pleasure of gratifying their desires for travel on the other side of the Atlantic., When the war is over it will be of little avail to advertise Quebec in competition with Furopean resorts.We must get in the work of estabe lishing the tourist business while we have oil in our lamps and the conflict of the Powers is still continuing.THOSE NEW GERMAN AEROPLANE3 The report that the Germans have stolen a march on the Allies in aern- plane construction must be taken with reserve.Tt has heen the subject of inquiry in the British House of Com: mons and the French Chamber of De puties.and in both it has heen officially asserted that there is nn ground for apprehension.It is not denied that the Germans have evolved a new type of machine.The Paris correspondent of the New York World quotes this description of it hy a high French nffiial: \u201cThe new German air dreadnoughts are fitted with a .ntal

Fyne, which was almost entirely rebuilt by Sir Robert Lorimer, the famous Scottish architect, to whom was entrusted the building of the Thistle Chapel in St.Giles, does not go, as was expected, to Sir Andrews unmarried daughter, Miss Noble, but falls, with other portiofis of the Argyllshire estates, to the eldest son.The Present baronet, Sir George Noble, married an Irish lady, Miss Walker- Waters, and has a daughter, but no son.There is no tack of male heirs to the baronetey, however, af Sir George has three brothers, all of whom have sons.Sir Andrew Noble, Bart, was a brother of Mrs.Darling Campbell of Quebec and his wife.(Lady Noble) was a sister ofthe late Daffing Campbell Esqr., of Quebec, Canada.The Argyll family is placed in mourning by the death of Mr, Ivar Campbell, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who has died of wounds in the Near East.Mr.Campbell was the only son of the late Lord Geoirge Campbell and of Lady George Campbell.He was in the diplomatic service and appointed to the Embassy at Washington, but volunteered for active service on the outbreak of the war.He was a specially charming and very popular young man, and, in spite of his remarkable good looks and the fact that circumstances had made him in a peculiar degree a favourite of fortune, he was quite unspoilt, Mr.Ivar Campbell was a first cousin of the Duke of Argyll, and was very well known at Inveraray, as his father, the late Lord George, had been tenant of the place fér many years; in All the flags in the town were floating half-mast, and the castle flag with the Campbell chequers was alae lowered on reception of the news.Much sympathy is felt for Lady George Campbell, who in the space of twelve months has lost both husband and son.Still Singing Their Praises DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS

family ee Great Britain but mourns a kinsman who has been killed in action or died of wounds.The sorrowful \u201croll of honor\u201d includes a member of the royal family, Prince Maurice of Battenberg; seven peers, sixteen baronets, who, although they hold hereditary titles, are not members of the House of Lords; six knights, one hundred and sixty-four Companions of the Bath, eut of seven hundred and five military members of that class of the order, ninety-five sons of peers, cighty-two shons of baronets, and eighty-four sons of knights.In quite a number of instances the peerage is threatened with extinction owing to the death of all the possible heirs.Among titles so affected are the marquisate of Lincolnshire and the baronies of Knaresborough, Play- Ribblesdale, Rosmead and Stamfordhat.Half a dozen baronets âre also left without heirs, and several titles are in doubt, owing to the heirs being reported \u201cmissing.\u201d The war has been most eruel to some noble families.Lord Penrhyn has lost his eldest son and two half- brothers, Lord Desborough has lost two sons, as have also Sir George Dashwood.Sir Henry E.St.L.Clarke and Sir Lulham Pourid, while Sir

Take Ordinary Nuzsted Irom Wil Make Dalicats, Nerveus Rundown People 200 pc.Seronger \u2018in Two Weeks\u2019 Time, in Many Cates.New York, N.Y.- Most people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrams or narocotic drug, said Dr.Sauer, a specialist of this city, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat.But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter.From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can't tell what, s0 they generally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or | symptoms ef other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood.This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony.If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test.See how long you can work or how far you can\u2019 walk without becoming tired.Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks.Then test your strength again and see for yourself Iron, Says Doctor, if You Want Plenty of \u201cStay There\u201d ' Strength Like an Athlete! t how much you have gained 1 haw teen dosens of nervous, rundows peaple who were ailing ai the while double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepalé, rer and other troubles in from ten to fourteen da simply by taking iron im the proper form.And this after they had ia some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any begpe- ft.But don't take the old forms of reduced irom, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents.You must take iron in à form that can be easily absorbed and asaimilated like nuxated irom if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he mew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled this blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.Note\u2014Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr.Sauer, is one of th: newer organic iron compounds.Ualike the older itorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, docs not injure the teeth, make then black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly afl forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions.It is dispensed in this city by L.E.Martel, and all other druggists.George's first cousin, was killed in battle in France.He was only twen- ty-three years old, the youngest son of Prince Henry of Battenberg, who married Princess Beatrice, a sister of King Edward.The young Prince's sister, \u201cPrincess Ena.\u201d married King Alfonso of Spain.Prince Maurice was a lieutenant in the King\u2019s Royal Rifle Corps.His two brothers also went to the front.Lieut.Prince Alexander of the Royal Grenadier Guards and Lieut.Prince Leopold of the King's Royal Rifle Corps.Pottsville, Pa, Jan.31\u2014 Stanley Meuse, a thirteen-year-old boy, has been, after a weird carcer, captured here and placed in jail as one of the most desperate prisoners who has ever been there.Crazed by dime novels, the boy organized a \u201cJesse James Society,\u201d and laid plans to rob his parents of $600, after soaking the parental home with coal oil to burn it down.He also attempted to burn the Boone building at St.Clair.Taken to the Phoenixville Protectory, he attacked a priest and, jumping through a plateglass window, escaped.Brought back he escaped four times, and was again captured near Shenandoah, where he had established a home in a cave.AUTOMO Model 75.$850 Model 88.Knight.$1878 Knight 86.BILES Camions Kelly Springfield Dart WINTON SIX request.Come and see our automobiles before buying Our showroom is open from 8 a.m.to 10 pm.The purchase of an auto demands consideration.You do not bind yourself to anything by coming to see what we offer.Catalogue on You are cordially invited \\ \u2018 to 83.00.Special 1200 St.Valier St, Quebec.EUG.JULIEN & CO, Ltd (Spot Cash Garage Reg'd.)

TO HON.K.MERCIER PRESENTS GOVERNMENT BILL\u2014MUNI- CIPAL CODE MEASURE.Amendments to the Quebec Mining Law which are intended to stimulate the mining industry as well as to provide better protection for mine workers are contained in a Government bill which was presented in the Legislative Assembly last night by Hoa.H.Mercier, Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries, and read a first time.The measure provides for concessions of postions of lots to miners instead of whole lots as the present law dictates.In cases when only a small portion of a lot contains minerals the Department by the new law wiil be allowed to concede as sinall a portion as forty acres and the remainder of the lot which may not contain any minerals may be used for agricultural or other purposes.It is also stipulated in the new law that all miners whether beginning new operations or resuming some previously abandoned must notify the Department within a certain time so that the Government inspectors may visit the mine and see that ail precautions are taken for the safety of the workers.Miners who fail to carry out this provision of the law will be subject to a fine.The encouraging of the iron mining industry on the North Shore is also provided for in the measure by the reduction of the price of lots in that section of the Province.Another clause of the bill concerns the correction of letters patent when mistakes occur in the designation of numbers of lots.It's purpose is to facilitate this correction.Sir Lomer Gouin\u2019s bill respecting the Municipal Code of the Province of Quebec was read a second time last night, when the Premier explained that the measure was simply to permit the House to study the Code in its revised form.Mr.P.Cousineau, Leader of the Opposition, complained that the publie had not been given sufficient information relative to the Manicipal Code.He felt that before the House took up the study of the new Code in Committee of the Whole, the substance of that document should be made public.The study of the question by the House should be delayed for a few weeks in order to find out how it would be received by the publie.Sir Lomer nid that he would give full explanations when the revised form of the Code is under study.in the House.The Quebec City bill and a large number of other private measures were presented and read a first time.Other private legislation passed the second reading stage and were referred to the Private Bills Committee, while the following bills were given final reading: \u2014 To amend the charter of the town of Montreal West.\u2014Mr.Perron.To authorize the College of Dental | Surgeons of the Province of Quebec to admit Elie Jobin among its members.\u2014Mr.Lemieux.To authorize the College of Dental Surgeons

suffering of his countrymen sincé the invasion of Montenegro by the Teutonic forces during the present war in a lecture delivered under the auspices of the Women's Canadian Club at the Chateau Frontenac yesterday afternoon.Captain Seferovitch became very emotional in telling of the ill treatment that those near and dear to him were aubjected to by the enemy in this present struggle.The large gathering was very much affected by the sad atory unfolded by the speaker and with difficulty suppressed giving outward vent to their feelings of sorrow for the brave little Allies, Serbia and Montenegro.On being introduced by Mrs.Geo.Tessier, the Montenegrin Consul- General from New York made it understood at the very outset that he was by no means an orator, but simply a patriot, who would endeavor in the beautiful French language, to and Montenegrin's part in the present world war.He considered it an honor and extreme pleasure to be invited to address the women of the Canadian Club, of Quebec.In the early part of his address the speaker related an incident which occurred while travelling in England which greatly amused the audience.He said \u201cwhile journeying from one part of the Isle to \u2018another he met an English lady, who was greatly astonished, when learning that he was a Montenegrin, that he wis not black\u201d.\u201cNo, Montenegrins are not black,\u201d continued the lecturer, otr hills are black enough though.Wearing the costume of the Montenegrin National Guards, to which he is attached, Captain Seferovitch made a striking figure and his words fell on a very interested audience.The address dealt with the national life of Montenegro and Serbia, two countries that were very closely unit ed, having the same language and religion.He explained that his coun- trv was universally for temperance.coffee being the \u201cchief and favorite drink.The women marry young ane do quite a large portion of the daily home labor.Since the war they have rendered invaluable service in the way of provisioning the army in the field.They have not quite the same freedom as the women of Ameri the Captain stated.In both Serbia and Montenegro Christmas was the chief feast of the year.Captain Seferovitch stated that there were no industries in the try and hardly any agricotural son tivity, the inhabitants earning a livelihood by rearing sheep and goats.The mountainous condition of Montenegro was responsible for its present state from an industrial viewpoint.After his terse and intelligently worded review of the national life of Montenegro the Consul then told of the work of his countrymen in the field againit the Turks and other armies of the Central Powers.Handicapped by inferior equipment and oftentimes without sufficient food, the Balkan States nations on the side of the Allies fought bravely and it was only when superior numbers, better artillery and poisonous gases were brought into play by the unscréplous énemy that they retired.Referring to the evacuation of Scutari, the Cap ital of Albanis, the Captain said that the city from a strategical point was unimportant, but it was a big loss t- the army as the district surrounding the capital was the best agricultural centre in the country.Reference was made during the abk address to the fpiendid harmony be tween the Allies.A touching tribute was paid to what Canadians are do ing.The speaker said the best and only way of fighting the enemy was in Europe, for if Canadians waited until an attack was launched on theif country they might find that it would be too late to resist the invaders effectively.Captain, Seferovitch made it dis tinetly understood that he was making no appeal for financial assistance for his countrymen.There was a great need for nurses, however, On conclusion of the very interesting address a voté of thanks «vas proposed by Mrs.John Hall Kelly.Mde.P.E.LeBlanc was among those oscupying seats near the apesk- er.colds end lw trogkiss.They sre are little tablets Plas extracts and medicine aa into the mouth these medici ingredients tura inate healing which are breathed dows direct te the lu throat aad bronchial The Towk of Levis wants to be- | SGD4ch to cure aliments and dis.come a cliy.It will then only require at ie * chee od oo le within the reach of | Wonders of the World.\u2014What kind en rms Fore Coe of a the \u201cweather mes\u201d can \u2018acute, have aguiget Quebess , JA ë © \u2018 ;
