Latest War News in Brief London, September 18th. -The House of Commons was proprogued to-day amid a most impres- - sive scene. Labor Leader, Will Crooks, led the members of all parties in singing the National Anthem, in which the wave of emotion and loyalty to the Throne and Empire that swept through the house mastered the most stoic of the Britons, the members breaking down with emotion. Royal assent was given the Irish Welsh Bills passed by the House. The censorship on news from the front is more rigid than ever this week, hardly a message of any credence getting through. It is believed that the English, French, Belgian, and Russian armies are engaged in the most .terrific struggle continuing the favorable results attained last week by the allied armies. The Kaiser's order to his armies to retire to the east of the Rhine seems to be the turning point and that the next authentic news will be toannouce to the world that the Germans are again back on German soil, and that Belgium and France are clear of the enemy. London, September 18.—It is reported officially that the English troops again repulsed the forces under General Von Kluck in his effort to break through the allied lines, the Germans sustaining frightful losses. The splendid gunnery of the English being responsible for the result. Lord Kitchener's message to send more men and send them now speaks volumes. The enemy is worn with their fighting night ancl day. The first flush of their invasion of Belgium and France and their early victories has exhausted the troops and they are not able to stand up under the constant gruelling lire of the steady English batteries. Hence Lord Kitchener's plan to keep sending fresh men after his own troops sent out early in the fighting, means much to the allied armies at this time. Quebec, September 18th. - The Government Steamer Motmagny was rammed in the St. Lawrence early this morning in a dense fog by the Collier Lingan. It is reported fifteen lives were lost. Both vessels badly damaged. THE HIGHEST IDEAL OF NEWSPAPER WORK An institution that should always fight for progress and reform. Never tolerate injustice or corruption. Always to oppose privileged classes and public plunder, Never to lack sympathy with the poor, Always to remain devoted to the public welfare. Never to be satisfied with merely printing news. Always drastically independent. Never afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty, Any Newspaper that nobly assumes these attributes is worthy of the support of the people and will leave its mark on the history of its times. Fire Wednesday Night About 11.30 Wednesday night the cry of fire sent the chemical engines to an out building in the rear of the Wedgis Rooming house on Fourth Street. Little damage was done outside of demolishing the building, which had been used as a store house and barn and at the time was not in use. It was found to be full of straw and hay and is supposed to have been set on fire by someone who went in to sleep. The fire department again did wonderfully quick work in get- ing to the fire and subduing it, without doubt saving considerable loss to surrounding buildings. Fire Chief Campbell has always preached readiness and proper equipment and his care and insistence on this point has already saved the town much loss. It must not be forgotten that the South Fort Geore Fire Department is sustained by Voluntary contributions and every person owning prop ..'ty should esteem it a privelege to donate something each month to keeping it up to the mark, None of you know when your time will come to look for the protection of the Department and you will expect the same protection who do not pay as the man who does. Some of our people have given liberally and steadily to the fund. Others have given seldom and still others nothing. But you will all want the same protection, Fire Chief Campbell and his assitants give their time and attention to the department, loss and damage to clothes are never reimbursed, they get nothing out of it. Men are sleeping in the Fire Hall ready at any hour of the night. The owners of property can do no less than support them with donations of money, everybody helping will make it easy and light. The funds are kept separate and open for inspection at all times. A night watchman constantly on duly with seven stations scattered about town which he visits every 15 minutes and examines all intervening property between has saved many a situation. This costs .$100 per month, Then the winter season is on when the chemical engines must be kept from freezing and ready for instant use. Then the materials and repairs for the engines are constantly calling for funds. We are at the season of greater costs but it means protection and saving of property. EVERYBODY HELP.

Local Company Now Forming For The Front Captain Leatham, on Tuesday night this week drilled twenty men in South Fort George garage and on Thursday night drill- I ed twenty at Central Fort George. ' It is expected a large attendance 1 will be had at the Cache on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. It is desired to form a company of 60 to 75 men from this section. Captain Leatham received a wire from Commandent Wilson," L.F., Edmonton, this week asking that 'the names of volunteers for active service be sent in by this : Sunday. All who wish to be included are asked to join the company on Sunday and send in their names. Nearly all the men who have thus far registered have passed the necessary medical examination successfully. Captain Leatham wired Ottawa for necessary rifles etc. but reeeived word that at present there were no spare ar ma available, as every firearm had been used to equip the forces already sent to the front and those preparing to go. This will shortly without doubt be remedied as soon as the Governmeut can get from the factories the supplies ordered. As there is in this district a scarcity of arms of sufficient length, it will be appreciated if the citizens will lend their guns for drill purposes, such as single barrel shot guns, to those of their friends who have registered. The names of the men attending drills can be obtained on application to Captain Leatham or 2nd Lieutenant L. G. Weston, at the Forestry Office. turbances have ceased.

Twenty Rounds of Fast Fighting To-Night The best boxing yet staged in Soutii Fort George will be pulled off at the Fort George Theatre, (Tonight) at 10 p. nv., immediately after the last show. The contest consits of two ten-round bouts of fast and clever boxing. The first bout will be between Harry Anderson, (better known as 'Toy') of South Fort George and Kid Noble a fast colored lightweight of Minneapolis. This promises to be fast, as Noble intends to force the fighting, while those who have seen Anderson in action know that he is not lacking in that respect. The second bout will be ten rounds of fast milling between 'Fighting' McKay of Winnipeg and Tommy Wilson of Kansas City. Both men are evenly matched and the fans are looking forward to hard battle. The price of admission is $1.00 only, for any seat in the house. Don't forget the time and price.

Firms claiming to transact their's on these lines are either deceiving the public or are in business for the sport of the thing-the latter is hardly probable. Anyone with a grain of common sense will agree with us when we make the statement, that in order to sell goods a firm must bear a certain amount of expenditure such as Insurance, Taxes. Salaries of Clerks Etc., Etc. People engaged in the mercantile business are not mere philanthropists: they MUST get a'certain amount of interest on the capital they have invested, AND THEY DO. So Beware of 'SALES AT COST', They Are Fakes. The secret of selling is buying right. In this we excel and it places us in a position to sell you the highest quality of goods (not junk) at the lowest possible figure and still make a LEGITIMATE PROFIT.

Canadian business men, who travel extensively through the Western provinces, and consequently knows commerical conditions there, says: "I do not think that in any country to- j day there is more prosperity and I less distress through lack of work [than in Canada. Jt is true that, for a while some of our towns speeded up too rapidly, but the brakes were put down before serious damage was done. A great deal of comment has been made in some newspapers that fewer farmers from the U. S. A. have come to Canada during the last twelve months than during the preceding similar period. The It is the belief of some of the leading men of all nations, that in addition to reducing Germany and Prussia to a position of dis- armment and a guarantee of peace, that now is the time to amalgamate upward of 70,000,000 Servians, Bulgarians, Romanians, Czechs, Slavs, Magyars constantly rebelling against foreign ap- pression. If they could be welded into one great power the peace of Europe might be assured for all time. Austria, Germany and Russia have quarrelled like dogs over a bone about these several so called Balkan states and peoples of Europe. The history of Ireland, Scotland and the United States and England is being repeated on a larger scale and without doubt good, will come out of the present struggle. The conquest of any people against their will and in violation of all natural conditions never pays. It is always attained at the The action of the French cabinet formed during conditions of P3ac<j, in resigning during the week of August 27th to be replaced within an hour by a strong coalition of all the Republican groups, was a public spirited and patriotic move of the highest order. Political alliances and differences of opinon within the state in times when foreign relations are amicable make for the well being and advancement of the home Govern, ment, But with a public enemy invading the borders, France's public men have banded together for mutual protection. Among the members of the new Cabinet are several ex- Premiers and many members of former cabinets. ECKSTEIN & WILSON Barristers, Solicitors, Etc. Haight Bldg, Prince George, B. C. P. E. Wilson :: L.

The city of the Georges looked forward to the time with eager anticipation last spring, but now that it is here little attention is paid to it. We are too busy talking pessimism— war—bad business—everything is going to the eternal bow-wows. Before we know it all will be going fine again and while we watch Europe and the butchery of men we will lose sight of our blessings at home. Now is the time to gather fresh energy and husband our resources for the change that is sure to come when business and finances are cut-loose and allowed to resume their way. Then the through train service east and west will be so common that we will forget all about the inconvenience of the Cariboo trail and start kicking at the derelictions of the railroad. Such is human nature. DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP TAKE notice that William F. Roy and .,.,-. ,,.. ,,, Joseph F.

It's success lies in the "get-up," type arrangement, and color scheme. It is simple and dignified type - setting that attracts. Simplicity appeals to all classes of people. The most pleasing attracts the most attention and consequently the most custom. A firm's goods are judged by the class of printing sent out. This is the most economical way of attracting fresh customers. Printing is a public link which connects the maker of the goods with the people who buy them, therefore, printing properly handled will always sell goods. Your brisker competitor knows this; You think he pays for it? He knows that YOU'LL pay for it, and you might as well pay for some for yourself as pay BY LOSS OF TRADE for his.
