Ottawa River StorageOver half a century ago. it was urged that the construc-tion of. dams on the upper Ottawa would be of great benefitto power users at the Chaudiere Falls, Ottawa. Between1904 and 1908. detailed surveys of the proposed Georgian BayShip Canal via the Ottawa, Mattawa and French rivers weremade. These surveys demonstrated the value of conserva-tion dams at several points, notably at the outlets of LakeTimiskaming. Kipawa Lake and Lac dcs Quinze.

The German Standard of Warfare THIS remarkable illustration is the reproduction of an actual photograph taken Some-where in France by an aviator, who has since been killed in action. The Germans hadsurrendered and were advancing under the white flag, when suddenly the front line threwthemselves on the ground (note the white flag) and the entire company opened fire on theBritish. The original photo was very small in size and the enlargement has resulted in someblurring of the features, but nevertheless, a close study, with a magnifying glass, if one is avail-able, reveals the brutal gloating with which the Huns are contemplating the success of theirtreachery. The photographer was just on the point of snapping the surrender, which accountsfor his securing a picture that, under other conditions, would have been impossible. It is avivid portrayal of the type of enemy our boys are up against and the unflinching courage withwhich they are facing death. ■
