GERMAN SEPARATION ALLOWANCES.
CONTRAST WITH BRITISH RATES. »
On July 22, Mr. Forster, Financial Secret. ary to the War Office, stated, in reply to Mr. Needham, who put a question in the House of Commons as to the separation and other allowances paid by the German. Government to wives and dependents of German soldiers, that a special allowance is issued to the wives and legitimate children under 15 years of non-commissioned officers and men on active service; to illegitimate children where the paternity is clearly established; to legitimate children over 15 years, brothers and sisters and relatives according to nearness of kinship, in so far as they were supported by the soldier or became dependent on him after his entering the service.
The rate of the allowance is for a wife nine marks (98.) monthly from May to October, and at least 12 marke (129.) monthly for the rest of the year. The rate for each child or dependent is at least six marks (s) monthly. A supply of our, potatoes, and fuel may be partly issued in lieu of the money allowance. The rates paid in England, including minimum allotments pay, are much higher. The allowance for wives alone, without chil dron, varies from 126. Gd, to 23s, a week. A wife with four children receives from 208, to 358. Cd. a week.
FATHER AND SON.
A STORY OF THE DARDANELLES,
Sporking at # recruiting meeting in Australia Sir Joseph Carruthers related a touching story showing the intensely humane feeling which in the midst of great things purineated the British Navy.
"A friend of mine (said Sir Joseph), Captain Dr. Kane, was one of the first Australians to land with his battalion at Gallipoli. The doctor was in the thick of the fighting, only he had the heart-rending task of attending in the open, under Are, to the wounded. The light began on a Sunday, and the battalion was then 1,075 strong; but on the Wednesday when the roll was next called only 476 answered.
Dr. Kane had two sons in the fighting. line, and one of them was badly wounded and taken to a transport. When on the ship the fad said, 'Fetch my father; he'll patch me up and pull me through.' His earnest words so touched his hearers that they gave the message to the ship's captain, and im- nediately the wireless call went out from ship to ship and was repeated by every ship in turn, right through the fleet, Where is Dr. Kane Send him to see his son on Transport No. But Dr. Kane never got the call. He was in the trenches helping some other man's son. Poor young Kane passed away in the night, still praying for his father. He was buried at sea, off the Aegean Islands, but kind hands took from his neck the little metal dise with his soldier's quinber and his name upon it, and sent it to the father.
When I met Dr. Kane a few days ago as he landed here with our first batch of wound- ed I saw that the doctor was bearing two discs round bis neck-his son's and his own. As I grasped his hand, I felt a big lump in mny throat da I said, 'More than a Victoria. Cross my friend, you are a hero!?
Addressing his audience, Sir Joseph said, Do you think the Gerruan army or the German navy would have troubled to send out in the still night such a message for the sake of one poor soldier, or of his father?”

The number of vessels totally lost, broken up, condemned, shows that during 1914 the gross reduction in the effective. mercantile marine of the world amounted to 760 vessels of 1,055,112 tons. Exclud- ing war losses, the tonnage of vessels lost through wreck, breaking up, etc., during 1014 was actually lower by 34,185 tons than that lost during 1913.
Whilst the United Kingdom has lost 2.2 per cent of the tonnage and 2.43 për cent, of the vessels owned, if all the "neutral" countries be taken together, they have lost 2.37 per cent of the ton nage and 2.69 per cent of the vessels owned by them.
A NEW AUSTRALIAN NAVAL BASE,
A big land deal, involving an expenditure of approximately £100,000, has been con- cluded by the Department of Home Affairs in Australia at the instance of the Defence authorities. For some time the two depart ments have been in communication regarding the zoquisition of land at Cockbarn Sound, West Australia, for the purposes of a naval
base.
