trough 22 ft. long; a storage tank of 560 gal. capacity attached to a heater supplied abundant hot water. Where possible the sewage was discharged directly into running streams; where desirable, septic tanks were installed for its treatment. Steam-heating was provided for all hospitals, and in four instances for the whole cantonment because of rigorous climatic conditions. In 12 cantonments and in the 16 camps stoves for heating were placed in the various apart- ments. Central power plants furnished electric lighting in all cases. No special type of road was required, but specifications were pre- pared for brick, cement concrete, bituminous macadam, and water- bound macadam. The width was usually 18 ft., but in some cases 24. Such walks as were built were usually of wood.
Tables I. and II., from official reports of the War Department, give the name and location of each cantonment and camp, the number of buildings erected and the amounts allotted for construction (from July i 1917 to June 30 1918 inclusive) :

BARRES, MAURICE (1862- ), French novelist and politician (see 3.434), published La Colline inspiree (1913); but
after 1914 was occupied almost exclusively with subjects aris-
ing out of the World War. La grande Pitie des Eglises Fran-
Daises (1914); L'Ame fran^aise et la Guerre (1915); La Lorraine
devastee (1919); Le Roman de I'Energie nationale (1919) were
amongst his later works. He also published literary addresses
and lectures.
BARRIE, SIR JAMES MATTHEW, BART. (1860- ), British novelist and dramatist (see 3.435), devoted himself after 1910 almost exclusively to drama. He produced, amongst other plays, Rosalind (1912); The Will and The Adored One (1913);
Der Tag (1914); Rosy Rapture (1915); A Kiss for Cinderella
(1916); Dear Brutus (1917); and Mary Rose (1920). He was
created a baronet in 1913.
BARRILI, ANTONIO GIULIO (1836-1908), Italian novelist (we 3.436), died Aug. 13 1908. His last work, a volume of poems,
Canzoni al vcnto, was published posthumously in 1911.
BARRINGTON, RUTLAND [GEORGE RUTLAND FLEET] (1853- ), English actor, was born at Penge, Kent, Jan. 15 1853, and was educated at Merchant Taylors' school. He appeared first at the Olympic theatre, London, in 1874. Three years
later he joined D'Oyley Carte's company at the Opera
Comique and appeared in Gilbert and Sullivan's opera The
Sorcerer. From that time onwards he was identified with the for-
tunes of the long series of these operas, which ran continuously
from 1877 to 1889 and were revived at frequent intervals.
In 1908 and 1911 he published two volumes of Recollections.
BARROW-IN-FURNESS, England (see 3.443). The pop.
(63,770 in 1911), which more than doubled during the World War, was estimated at 78,000 in 1920. The shipbuilding .yards
developed greatly and war vessels of all types, including
dreadnoughts and submarines, were constructed during the
war. The Cavendish dock adjoining the Ramsden dock on the
E., 146 ac. in extent, has been leased by the Furness Railway
Co. to the firm of Vickers Ltd. for the construction of airship
sheds and for the manoeuvring of airships and dirigibles. The
airship factory is situated on Walney I., which is connected
with the mainland by a bridge with an opening span of 120 ft.
for the passage of vessels. Among the public buildings con-
structed since 1911 are the town hall with a clock tower 170 ft.
high, built at a cost of 70,000, and a working-men's club and
institute, the gift of a former mayor; a new Carnegie library was
in course of erection in 1921.
Vickerstown on Walney I. is a rapidly growing township of model workmen's houses and is becoming more and more a residential suburb of Barrow. It has the James Dunn park on the E. and the Biggar Bank, a public retreation ground facing the Irish Sea, on the W. side of the island.
BARRY, ALFRED (1826-1910), English bishop (see 3.444), died at Windsor April i 1910.
BARRYMORE, ETHEL (1879- ), American actress, was
born Aug. 15 1879 in Philadelphia, and was educated at
the Convent of Notre Dame in that city. She made her
debut in 1896 in the company of her uncle, John Drew. In
1897 she first appeared in England in Secret Service, and with
Sir Henry Irving's company in The Bells and Peter the Great
(1898). She was first starred by Charles Frohman in Captain
Jenks in 1900, and subsequently became one of the leading
actresses in the United State's.
Her brother, JOHN BARRYMORE (1882- ), who first appeared on the stage in Magda in 1903, had also, by 1921, estab- lished his position as one of the foremost American actors as had also another brother, LIONEL, whose first appearance was in 1893-
BARTELS, HANS VON (1856-1913), German painter (see 3.447), died at Munich Oct. 5 1913.
BARTHOLOMEW, JOHN GEORGE (1860-1920), Scottish cartographer, was born in Edinburgh March 22 1860, the elder son of John Bartholomew, also a cartographer (see 3.450). J. G. Bartholomew was educated at the Edinburgh high school and university, and succeeded his father as head of the business of the Edinburgh Geographical Institute. In this capacity he maintained and improved the unsurpassed reputation for scientific cartography and exquisite reproduction which the firm had already acquired; in particular, he extended and popularized the use of " layer " colours exhibiting relief of the land, applying this method not only in the reduction of ordnance survey maps but in many other instances, including general atlases, of which the finest example is that published by The Times since the close of the World War. Bartholomew was associated with Sir John Murray and others in connexion with the mapping of results of the "Challenger" expedition, the bathymetrical survey of the Scottish lochs, and other scientific studies. He planned a physical atlas on a large scale and with the cooperation of Dr. A. J. Herbertson published the Atlas of Meteorology in 1899, which at once became a standard work. The volume on zoogeography, in collaboration with W. Eagle Clarke and P. H. Grimshaw, followed in 1911. His written works include a bibliography of authoritative maps of all countries (1891) and a gazetteer of the British Isles; and he interested himself greatly in geographical education, helping to found the lectureship in geography in the university of
