An Ancient Civilization. .
Explorations show that 10,000 years
ago (twice the age of the Egyptian
pyramids), a people lived southeast of
the Caspian sea, about 120 miles from
the sea, who had brick houses, dec
orated pottery, convenient and ln-
genlous household articles and domes
tic animals, they raised and ground
wheat and cooked their food. . y
So, far as can be told, they had no
weapons and lived In peace with their
nirfghbors a? trait that . may be jtaken
as " evidencing civilization, : or its ;ab-
' isence, according to the point of view.

' ,Ixmdon.While , E. . H. Janes, a
prominent resident of Fiilham, was. at
Charing' Cross a few days ago he no-.,
! tlced" a number of men clad in khaki
getting out of "the train. He learned
they had just arrived from the far oft
'Fiji, where . they had; given up good
situations to off er their, services to the
motherland In herlhour of need. Mk
Janes asked if any of them were from
Suva. - . ' ;
"Sure," replied one of. the stalwart
young fellows. "I come from Suva."
"Do you know Harry Janes?" in-
quired the man from Fiilham. N
"I should think I do. He and I are
overseers on the same plantation. I
have a letter of . introduction to . his
brother, E. H: Janes, of Fulham." -,
"You can hand it over now," said
Mr. Janes. Both were amazed to learn
that the first man the South Sea
Islander had spoken to on reaching
London was the very man In all Eng
land he wished to see. -
This is but one of the extraordinary
coincidences which the war has
brought forth. A London hospital had
another remarkable illustration:
A young soldier was severely wound
ed .in the fighting "somewhere in
France," He lost consciousness, and
when he regained it he was lying com
fortably In a bed in a ward of a large
hospital. His first words were
"Where am I?" The purse told him
that he was in Londonthat during the
period of his unconsciousness he had
been transported across the channel
and that his wounds had been tended.
He asked the name of the hospital,
the number of the ward, the day of
the weeland the hour. The nurse
told him. "I say, nurse, you , might
tell my dad I am here." The nurse
looked at him, thinking the poor lad
was in a delirium.
"All right, nurse, my dad's In the
next ward now. You know he is the
"surgeon there and this is his visiting
day."
And so It was. The father was in
the next ward performing his work,
thinking all the time that his son was
in France. He did not even know that
- the boy was wounded, far less that he
: was being tended a few yards away.
Writing from the ;. front to friends
at Llangollen, Private S. N. Jones of
the motor transport A. S. C. , relates
a peculiar coincidence concerning
himself. . He was a driver on the
Llangollen-Wrexham motor bus route
and enlisted soon after the commence
ment of hostilities. In France, strange
to say, he was drafted to the identical
chassis of the motor he had been
driving on the Donbigshire route, it
having been purchased, with many
others, by the government.
The manager of the road car com
pany has written to Private Jones stat
ing that, if it should be possible, they
will repurchase the car after the war
and place upon it a plate recording
.the circumstances related.
David Henderson, a Bowhill soldier
belonging to the Black Watch, has a
remarkable story to tell of how he
was able to pay back on the field of
battle the services of a man who saved
his life in this country in the piping
times of peace.
About a year ago, when taking part
in a regatta at Wemyss, his boat was
capsized and he was thrown into the
water. He had been swimming towards
the shore for some time when he was
picked up in an exhausted condition
by a passing boat belonging to Dy
sart. - '
Strange to say, after a fierce day's
fighting in France, Private Henderson
saw a wounded soldier lying in front
of the trenches, and on going to his
assistance he was struck by some
thing familiar about the wounded man.
Henderson then asked his comrade If
it was he who had saved "Davie"
Henderson from a watery grave at
Wemyss the previous summer. "It
Was," came the reply. 'Then I am
Davie Henderson," was the dramatic
rejoinder. Henderson then took his
wounded comrade by the arm and,
under a heavy fire, led him to a place
of safety.

Mr. Daniels congratulated the coun-.
ty upon the erection of. theicounty
court house, which h& declared; was
more especially for the comfort and
convenience of the people than for the
bar. He dissented from, the view that
lawyers are pre-eminently the chan
nels of justice and insisted that the;
jurors are the great bulwark for the
people. He hoped that this new tem
ple of justice would mean a new dedf- ,
"cation of the hearts and mind of the
people to the cause of right and jus
tice.and arnew reverence for these
great principled : He declared ' that
the great jurists who had in .the past
made their impress have been men
who dared to blaze' the way for new
adaptions of law for the needs of their
people rather than following blindly
the precedents, which he characterize
ed as being oftentimes stumbling
blocks to real justice;';
Governor, Craig declared that he
honored the commissioners for their
wisdom and courage in erecting in
the Capital City a splendid structure
such as this to . be venerated as a
temple of justice for many years to
come. He declared that justice is
the spiritual energy of the state and
is hot a respector of persons. " ;
Cheif Justice Clark commanded the
fearless enterprise of -the j county
authorities in the erection of the
splendid building which he character
ized &3 a county administration
building as well as a court house, and
appealed for the county highways
andv other internal conditions to .be
brought up to, a standard such as

Great Britain Needs s.oOO.OOO Ms. .
London "Great Britain needs 3,-
000,000 men by next spring." This
declaration was made by Brig. Gen.
Eric Swayne, director of recruiting In
the northern command, in a speech at
Hull. 'General Swayne estimated that
Germany still has between 9,000,000
and 10,000,000 men from the ages of
18 to 45 and that, therefore,, It was
useless to talk about wealing out Ger
many. i In the spring, said he, Germany
would lose more men than the Allies,
which would balance the numbers of
the Allies and the Central Powers,
but if Great Britain should raise 3,-
000,000 additional. Germany probably
would recognize that it would be
fruitless to continue.
