His reply, in effect, was that Kitchener himself had made good his promise.

knapsacks and the like. And of the train between. Omaha and Salt Lake. Canada 'came West immediately after the war, when he was but eighteen years old. He had served in the Third Kentucky Confederate Infantry, and had been promoted for bravery on the field of battle.

When he got into the trans-Missouri country in 1866 he found a chaotic condition. The gold fever was It its hieght and bands of outlaws and cutthroats infested the land. The first transcontinental railroad was in course of and when it was completed a few years later thousands of rougi characters found themselves out of work and ready for any venture that promised excitement and big pay. From tbc-lr ranks were recruited the train robbers. Nobody knows just how Union Pacific officials happened 'to pick out the quite Bill Canada as the man to "clean up" the vast stretch of mountains, plains and deserts between Omaha and Salt Lake but they did.

After his arrival in the West Canada had been lumber salesman, mule driver freighter, surveyor, sheriff and half a dozen other things. And one day he was Invited to a conference with the hea." of the Union Pacific Railroad at Omaha. When that conference ended the young man. had been instructed to put an end to train robberies on their system. He was not hampered by any instructions.

That was the beginning of the famous "bandit hunters," the organization originated by Canada and used by him In accomplishing the work that he had been set to perform. The "bandit hunters" was a body of twelve men. Every one was a "gun fighter." As horsemen they had no superiors in the West. Cheyenne, was chosen- as the headquarters. A special train consisting of a sletping car, a baggage car fitted up with stalls of their horses and another car used as a dining car and telegraph car waa prepared for their use.

Arrangements were so complete that within fifteen minutes after a call for help was received at Cheyenne the special train with the fighting men, their horses and their telegraph operator could toe en route to the scene of the trouble. The outlaw leaders of the Hole in the Wall country, the Robbers' Roost and Hell's Acre looked upon the bandit hunters as a personal challenge to them, and they were not men to permit a defy to pass unnoticed. Scarcely had Canada's men got used to their mounts when "Flatnose" George Cury and five of his band fo mthe Hole in the Wall swung a red lantern before the Overland Limited as it whizaed through the Red Desert In central Wyoming one night. The Limited stopped, the express and locomotive were detached from the train and sent down the track a short way. The express car.

The French whole-heartedly admit that England furnished the broom which was large! instrumental 'in sweeping German ships and German commerce from the seas. "But French ships have not been idle either," they declare. "We hiive kept the Austrian fleet cooped up all winter and we have done all we could with the fleet in other directions.

For every hour the war is prolonged means many lives snapped off. Not the least part of the resentment in France is caused by British insularity. In Kngland, as George Clemen-ceati, the former Prime Minister, writes "After all Calais is only Calais!" Calais is in France a foreign country. The measures taken- around London are an admission that Calais and Boulogne may fall into German hands. The French feel that if England does her duty the thing won't happen.

So the French not only think, but speak. Note: Simms sent a copy of the above to Ed. L. Keen, London correspondent. To-morrow Keen's statement of the British reply.

What do all these stories mean? the French are asking. What is the matr ter with England after more than a year of war? Why can't she, with all her' steel mills and kindred works, turn out much more than sufficient enough, in fact, to supply her allies "Strikes have hampered Englishmen in France give as an excuse for many of these questions.

"Why tolerate strikes?" the French ask impatiently, "when the life of England hangs in the balance with our own and that of several other countries perhaps as well?" Now, with fall almost at hand, England is still holding, with great effort at that, her little 30 miles of front. The French hold 500 miles. In the 11 months of trench-fighting this proportion has not changed and many has been the time when French artillery has been called upon to support the British even along their short front. Gabriel Hanotaux, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, a historian and unusually calm thinker, has said: "From England there have come il-lusionary catchwords on which we have lived for months and which, after benefitting us for a moment, have ended by doing us harm. Was it not Eord Kitchener, who evolved that formula so pregnant with hope but so tardy in delivery: 'Our forces will continue to expand unceasingly while those of the enemy will unceasingly diminish." Hanotaux did not express this criticism-of England in private, or behind England's back.
