It was a very cowed crew that stepped aboard the "City of Lon. don." Nevertheless such is the strange mentality of the Russian peasant.

Signor Titteni did not want it too early, because he liked to have his siesta early in the afternoon. Mr. Lansing did not want it too late, for he wanted to have his drive in the Bois and then his siesta before di ner. M. Clemenceau then summed up.

"TIN HATS" FOR SALE.
Although the army allowed demo- helmets as trophies of war, the sup bilised soldiers to retain their steel
ply was far in excess of the demand, and now the Government Disposal Board is seeking a market for the surplus quantity, which numbers maay thousands of new and second- hand helmets, with or without leather lining, but all fit for further use. In addition to providing efficient heat Protection these helmets, in less ex. citing times, were used for many pur- poses. Frequently soldiers were seed to use them as wash-basins, whilst in the trench dug-outs they often served as candlesticks.

IN THE RICE TRADE. This was the first of a series of trading voyages for the "Orel," and money began to flow in, officers and cadets were paid again, and by the kindness of the French Government a barracks at Cap St. Jacques was placed at the disposal of the cadets and a temporary Naval Corps was established there.
At the beginning of the present year, however, things having become more settled in Vladivostock, the cadets, by their unanimous desire were returnedto Vladivostock Lieut- Commander Affanasieff apparently had no wish to return, and he toge- ther with a number of his officers, remained with the "Orel" as traders in French water.
