Washington.-Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador delivered a note to the United States, which was promptly transmitted to Great Britain, in which Germany offered to recede from her plan of destroying enemy merchant ships if restrictions placed by the allies on shipments of conditional contraband and food stuffs destined to the civilian population of Germany were removed To this Britain replied as follows: "Britain will under no consideration allow food stuffs to enter Germany from the United States." London.-The countries fighting against Germany, Austria and Turkey up to the present time have thrown only a third of their strength into the field. To maintain this force and to bring the remaining two-thirds into action will cost £2,000,000,000 during the current year. This announcement was made in the house of commons early in the week by David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, who, with Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty! gave the British public perhaps a closer view of the mystery behind the great struggle than any that had been afforded since the outbreak of the war. Mr. Churchill declared amid cheering that Great Britain finally had decided to clamp on every ounce of sea pressure to choke off Germany's food supply in retaliation for the German submarine policy, while Mr. Lloyd George drew a general cheer by a reference to loans to countries which, he said, he expected to throw in their lot with the allies. These countries the chancellor did not name. It was the first time that a reference was made in parliament of such expectations. §WTH FORiTgEORGE. B. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY loth. 1915; $3 PER ANNUM Provincial Legislature Ice Carnival at South. The London Tunes Asks: "What Arouses Germans?" "What has aroused the Germans to the desperate fury of today?" asked, the Times editorially. "We have ample testimony that they are complacently satisfied, perhaps foolishly so, with their position in the land campaign. What makes them foam is the silent, invisible, irresistible pressure of sea power. They know they cannot overcome it, and it is reacting with fatal and unerring certainty upon their chances of land. When Mr. Churchill said that the naval pressure could by itself decide the issue of the war he made no idle boast. We cannot complain if these things are imperfectly understood by nations preoccupied with military problems, but the Germans perceive them well enough, because they feel the pinch. And our allies are coming to perceive them too." Successful Attack by Allies' Air Wing London.—The air wing of the British navy made another massed attack Wednesday on German positions along Belgian coast in an effort to destroy or damage submarine base at Zeebrugge, .uns at Ostend and at Middel- kerke and aerodrome at Ghistel- les. According to official reports, good results were attained. Forty machines were utilized in this attack as compared with thirty-four last week. While British airmen were dropping their bombs on gun positions, supply trains and barges and trawlers used in mine laying and mine sweeping operations, eight Frenchmen attacked the Ghistel- les aerodrome, thus preventing German airmen from making an attempt to cut off British machines. Churchill Discloses Naval Losses to Date London.-Winston Churchill in the house of commons announced for the first time the total naval Josses as the result of the war. These, he said, were upwards of 5000 officers and men, a majority of them victims of submarines. Still Has Hoiies That Stefansson Lives in Arctic New. York. -Berf M. McConnell, secretary toVilhjalmurStef- annson, the explorer, who^with two companions has been missing in the ice fields of, the Arctic ocean for several months, is making another effort to interest friendsjof the explorer in a relief expedition. Aid has also been sought of the Canadian government, under whose auspices the original expedition sailed. Mr, McConnell is anxious to send a powerful schooner and two hydro-aeroplanes in search of Stefannson. With the machines he believes it would be possible to make a thorough search of the regions where he is convinced Stefannson and the others reported missing are still fighting for existence. P. BURNS NEW MARKET. The ^construction of the new handsome market of P. Burns on George Street is under way. It will have a 60 foot front facing on George Street and extending west on Third Avenue 70 feet. Every possible convenience and invention known to the meat business will be installed for the benefit of customers and the scientific handling of all kinds of meat products. The new business house will be an added attraction to|the George Street area which continues to grow and expand as the business centre of Prince George, despite abortive efforts of the Dominion Railway Commission and Real Estate boosters to belittle the street and make people think the western flats which fail to attract real interests and business, are to be "IT." The old axiom that we thrive best under adversity and opposition is exemplifyins its truth on George Street. Proceedings of the British Columbia Legislature, now in session at Victoria, are beginning to come through to this centre. A number of interesting bills are here given for such information as our readers may find of value. The Moratorium Bill (as reported in these columns last week.) Amendment to the Moving Picture Act. Amendment to the Supreme Court Act. Various amendments to the Companies' Act. Amendment to the Benevolent Societies' Act. Modification of the provisions of the Forest Act, relating to Special Timber Licenses. The Act is entitled "Forest Act Relief Act" and deals with the negligence of timber licensees in renewing their licenses — giving them opportunity to renew. The Act seems to deal very liberally with delinquents, and as it remains in force until March 31st, 1916, is no doubt designed to help those effected by the war. An Act to exempt members of the Allied Forces from operation of certain provisions of the mining laws of the province. Is intended to protect from forfeiture until March 31, 1916, those who had mining claims, but who have since gone into service. Amendment to the Iron Placer Act, having to do with granting leases ot unoccupied and unreserved crown lands and land already occupied for the extraction of iron from magnetic sand for any term not exceeding 25 years. An Act to enable the Lieutenant Governor in Council to grant relief from penalties and forfeitures in relation to moneys payable to the Crown and similar matters. Deals with postponement of payments due the Government and the remitting of penalties, fees, etc. for failure to pay, as well as extending the time for the performance of any contract. This act also remains in force for one year. Other Amendments and Acts have to do with Pool Rooms Act, Civil Service Act, Small Debts Court Act, Municipal Elections Act, Creditors Trust Deed Act, and Health Act. On Thursday evening, a most enjoyable carnival was given on the South Fort George Rink The ice was in splendid condition and quite a crowd took advantage of it. The rink was prettily dec orated with a large number of Chinese Lanterns and harmonized well with the different costumes The different events were won by the following: Best dressed man, Mr. Lowden Best dressed lady, Jessie Chapman. Terry Johnson, dressed as Canada, took the part good and had lots of fun, as he was introduced as Miss Smith, and nobody recognized him. Mayor Anderson gave an impressive speech on incorporation. The lady's race was won by Miss May Gross. Lady and partner's race was won by Miss May Gross and Wilfred Taylor. Boys' race (under sixteen) was won by George Haskins, George Young coming in,second. Free-for-all, M. Morgan first, Wilfred Flynn second. Harry Keefe showed up well and with a little training will make a fast skater. Jack Robarts, official starter, Doc, Layne, judge. The attendance was not as large as was expected, but all had a good time, the carnival not breaking up until after eleven o'clock. Audacious to Rejoin Fleet .

ASKS BUNK CHECK FOR LARGEST WAR BUDGETJF BRITAIN London.--The largest military budget in the history of England has been introduced in the House of Commons. It is called a "blank check budget" because the a- mounts of actual money which will be expended under same are represented by nominal or token figures. For the first time in 200 years the Government has asked for a blank check for army estimates, the correct amount being withheld to keep Germany from learning size of forces. When Parliament has voted the nominal sum of $5000 under each of the fifteen groups of expenditure it will virtually have voted supplies without limit for an army of 3,000,000 men, to be accounted for when the war is over. Latest War Despatches. London.—Despatches to Daily Mail from Copenhagen says German Emperor William with his brother, Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, and Admiral von Tirpitz, Minister of Navy, and their respective staffs left Berlin yesterday for Wilhelmshaven, Heligoland and other naval stations to direct arrangements for blockading England. It is reported that Germans have built 120 big mine-laying submarines during the last six months, each with carrying capacity of over 100 mines. Washington.—Germany has sent a note to the United States saying she is now compelled to adhere to her declared policy in naval war zone and suggests that American warships accompany all U. S. merchantmen. London.—Russian army defeated with heavy losses in East Prussia, but retired in good order. Warsaw in no immediate danger. Berlin claims big gains in three places against the Allies. Also says Germany has 100 submarines in English Channel. Paris.— Official communication.-The day of Feb. 18th has not been less favorable for us than two proceeding days. Frem the sea to the Aisne it was marked by artillery combats, though near Roelincourt the Germans delivered five counter attacks with object of retaking trenches which had been occupied by us on Feb. 17th. These were repulsed and several hundred dead were left on the ground, among them several officers. Petrograd.—The completion of several lines of,, railroads radiating from Warsaw tn points on the Austrian frontier of eastern and western Galicia, which is expected to be accomplished within a few weeks is designed to give the Russian forces that mobility which apparently is necessary to cope with the calediscopic changes that the German and Austrian armies make so successfully.

Taxation and Debts of Cities. Prince George is a babe in swaddling clothes compared to the greatest city on the North American continent which we are advised has a debt of $1,307,022- 221, and raised taxes last year of $193,000,000, and this year will have to have $199,000,000 of which Real Estate and personal property will pay $150,000,000. The debt of the United States as a whole is less than the debt of New York City—being bur $1,115,000,000. Wise statesmanship and financing has been as absent in the C.ty of New York as in many o.htr cities, and in the private afiirs of men as well. We learn by experience and example. The Comptroller of New York says conditions there are serious, A word of warning to ourselves on the threshold of our nativity as a city is not out of order. A very interesting situation has developed in the local hockey contest between South, Central, and Prince George teams. One of the best games of the season was played last Sunday with Central on the South rink, ending in a score of 2 to 1 in favour of South, This was the contested game allowed by the managers some time since. It left the score of the respective teams at 8 games for Prince George 6 „ South Fort George 6 ,, Central Fort George with a chance for both South and Central to even the score with Prince in the remaining games to be played, which would tie the three teams at the end of the series. Such a result is possible but would be an unusual thing. The hockey enthusiasts and supporters of the respective teams are urging their favourites to their best in the closely contested series. the Central goal tender. Scott also deserves great credit for the ga.ne. He came down from Salmon River to be in at the finish and without him it would have been impossible to win, as he is easily the best centre in the three towns, In fact enough cannot be said of the play of every man on the team and we want the boys to realize that we appreciate their efforts and their game fight after being pursued apparently by the JINX all season. Here's success to the final game. "Puck." Apple Industry Of Canada. REVENUE TAX STARTED. Winnipeg.—Word has been received at the inland revenue office at Winnipeg that clubs and hotels throughout the province must immediately secure stamps to cover the wines they now have in stock. The tax is five cents on a quart or less of non-sparkling wines, and 25c a pint or less on champagne and sparkling wines. Last Sunday on the South ice South and Central played the final scheduled league game of the season, the score being 2-1 in favor of South. For the first time in two years the hockey enthusiasts of South witnessed a victory on their home ice, and it was a success to be proud of. From the start of the season the boys have played in extremely hard luck for we believe our team as lined up last Sunday is the strongest in the league. It was our last chance for a place in the cup race, for hy winning our protested game with Prince, and by Central doing the same the three teams will be tied with 8 points each. Every South player realized the importance of the contest and every man played to the limit of his ability. If any one player could be picked out above the rest as playing a star game it was Cy Paterson. For two years "Cy" has played on the South team, and in that time has only participated in two victories. Sunday he played the best game of his career, He was fighting every minute from whistle to whistle, and three times he took the puck by brilliant rushes through the entire Central team only to lose the honor of scoring br the grand work of Donohue A resolution in the Provincial Legislature at Victoria this week was submitted to the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa, asking for greater. protection to the Apple Industry of Canada, having in mind particularly competition from the States of Washington and Oregon, Montana and Idaho. It is pointed out ttiat by reason of overproduction in the United States and unfair competion in the Canadian markets as a consequence an increase in the protection afforded by the tariff to Canadian apple growers would enable them to continue an industry that is of immense consequence to the Dominion as shown by the value of annual apple production already reached. The grape growing industry of the Niagra Peninsula of Ontario formerly suffered similar conditions and was ruined until the Dominion placed a duty of 2c per pound on imported grapes, and the industry was revived to prosperity and consumers have never yet complained as to prices paid as a consequence.

She is fortified against sea and cannon alike, with great granite buttresses 15 feet thick and 240 feet high on all sides, Even the fissures in her cliffs have been filled up and bound together for ever with ferro-concrete—thousands of tons of it. To-day the little one-time crumbling island is wholly encased with a cemented belt of armour, fortified with £1.500,000 worth of modern ordnance. And there in the open sea is the Kaiser's advanced naval base and aero station to-day, with its east coast a 48-fathom roadstead which can hold the entire Herman fleet in safety and one hundred miles nearer England than when they are at home.

The bill will recommend in the place of the present control by the provincial secretary that a commission of at least five men be formed and given absolute control over the license branch in much the same way as the workmen's compensation board controls the administration of the workmen's compensation act. The provinceof Ontario will be divided into at least six districts and licenses for each district will be issued on different dates, so that the commission can hold court in each district and deal with the various licenses.

He sketched the growth of his steel business and said that it had been marked by an absence of labor disputes. "I never had a better time in my life as when talking to my employees," he said, and ventured the assertion that the men liked him, too. "When they call you Andy instead of Andrew or Mr. Carnegie you know the boys are your friends," said he. Mr. Rockefeller declared that his sole motive was to devote a portion of his fortune, said to bo the greatest accumulated by any single person in the history of the world, to the services of his fellowmen. He told about his meeting with J. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, and Mackenzie-King, former minister of labor of Canada, at a time when there was lalor trouble in Colorado. He said he would accord all men the right to organize, working men and business men as well, providing t .ey kept within the proper limitations in respect to the law and to safeguarding the general interests of the public. Mr. Rockefeller said he "would be happy to surrender" his holdings either in whole or in part and let the workers have a voice in the board of directors just as all other stockholders do, thus giving them some of the Austrians in Montreal Appeal to U. S. Consul Montreal.—Thirteen hundred Austrians recently signed a petition and presented 3ame to William H.

The petitions state that they are kept in this country on account of the indefinate state of non-imprisoned prisoners, and "are treated without any regard to international law, being neither allowed to leave the country nor given the opportunity to forestall the miseries and horrors of hunger and cold." The petition sets forth that the signers were induced to come to this country to work, and they brought an abundance of good will. They have been discharged because of the war, although willing to work, they claim. In conclusion, they beg to be given a chance to become agriculturists. "We have heard," says the petition, "about the suggestion to send us together in a bush, to found there a village with farms. We beg you to say to the government of this Dominion that we are anxious to carry on as soon as possible the execution of that suggestion, and we shall submit ourselves to the authorities of that place."

Eight-Hour Day vs Nine-Hour Day In discussing before the "Federal Industrial Commission" the pros and cons of the eight and nine hour day, Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer of Detroit, stated that by substituting the eight-hour day for the nin • Hour day, the efficiency of his men had been increased from 15 to 20 per cent, in the amount of work produced. That is to say, each man on the average has done more work by more than one-sixth in eight hours than he used to do in nine. And furthermore, the daily absences from work have decreased from ten per cent, to three-tenths of one per cent. This seems to indicate that the proper division of the twenty- four hours is into eight hours for work, eight hours for rest and eight hours for recreation. There can be no doubt as to the beneficial efiect of such an arrangement in promoting effective longevity. All this should be surprising, hut will not be so to those who have paid close attention to the influence exerted by the mind on the efficiency of the body. The feeling of fatigue, which is so destructive of efficiency, is psychological rather than physiological, The result of Mr. Ford's first year of experimentation foreshadows for him a high place among sociological reformers, Shopkeeper-Candles are up in price to%, y'know, Mrs. O'Flynn, on ac count of the war.

Beneath the stable a cellar was being excavated from the rocks. I made my way into this excavation and so avoided being crushed to death. "From the moment I entered the cellar I saw no more light and I believed I had become blind as my mind could not conceive that the ruins covered the cellar so completely as to prevent a single ray of light from penetrating through. For a long time — l cannot say how long — my despair increased until I became almost frenzied. I shouted with all my strength until I fell into an apathetic condition, almost like a coma. This saved my life, for had I continued my desperate efforts to free myself I must have died from exhaustion. "By feeling about with my hands in the darkness, I found a wet spot and moistened my burning lips. This revived me, and with my hands I dug a hole in which water collected and I was able to drink. "Thus I managed to exist — how long I know not as I lost count of the days — until of a sudden I heard voices above me. SaidJ'one, 'All fare?|dead.' Another answered, 'Quite so, but let us recover what we can of our property.' "I aroused myself to make a supreme effort and screamed T am alive here in the cellar: Michael Cairolo.' Those above me, I am told, thought it was a ghost; but I continued my cries and convinced them that a living man was imprisoned in the ruins. Then came my rescue, and in about three hours I was free." January 1st, 1915. Victory follows the flag.

McElroy, Maieagur ' A dangerous spot in the Upper Fraser Canyon, where a number of lives and many tons of freight were lost during construction of the G. T. P. Duties of Post Office Staff at the Front Prisoners to be Used on the Farms Mr. George Nichol, a noted English athlete, now serving in the post office staff'at the front, describes bis duties as follows : Our work here is to regulate the whole of the mail tJaffic between home and the front. There are thousands of separate units, companies, sections, squadrons, troops, batteries, trains, signals, aircraft, anti-aircraft, and flying corps, ammunition trains, parks, columns, etc., making up an army. The whole is one vast beehive, continu ally on the move. Our position is this : We are stationed at the spot where the railways serving the various divisions and corps branches off, and our business is to regulate, direct, ancl re-direct all mails going up and down country in accordance with current^movements, of which we are advised by wire from general headquarters at all hours of the day and night, As the troops are continually moving their location, you may guess my job is no sinecure, for I have inaugurated a system of recording every movement of every unit, in order that our work here shall be as accurate a? possible. In addition to this, I am the sole interpreter to the section, and have to interview goodness knows bow many people, from mayors down to lamp cleaners all day long, am confidential clerk to the 0. C. (who is an old colleague of mine), handling all sorts of confidential paper work in addition to the usual staff records, and fill in my spare (?) time as quartermaster to tlie depot (150 men), looking after all the feeding, lighting, clothing, sleeping, sanitary and other arrangements. I always was a pretty rapid worker, but I've had to hustle some lately, 1 can assure you. My only diffi- culty is that, with so much work, 1 am unable to get as much exersise as I should like, for when I go out it is usually on a breakneck journey on the motor cycle or car, with nhout a dozen different missions to perform, ranging from borrowing a travelling postoffice wagon from the postoffice here to getting a leaking roof mended. However, with it all I am quite well and happy, and have put on, I suppose, about 10 pounds in weight. Hut for being away in Scotland when the war broke out I should have got my commission right away, but as it is, I have practically been promised it when the next army conies out, when I shall reap a welcome reward. We have only had two men killed so far, and four wounded, but about forty have had more or less serious illness, and six have "gone under" so that, although we in the K.E.P.S. are soldiers in every way, we have a pretty safe time on the whole." Travel Heavy for Season of Year "Taking into consideration that this is the slack season of the year, trans-atlantic travel is unusually heavy. We are booking all the passengers we can handle with the boats at our command, and the indications are that this state of affairs will continue." Thus Mr. J. W. Nutt, Pacilic Coast agent for the Allan Line, this week outlined the situation. Amsterdam, via London. - Prisoners of war in Germany will be used to carry on agricultural work, under a decision of the military authorities, according to the Telegraaf. It has been decided, the paper says, to place groups of from 80 to 100 prisoners at the disposition of the farmers. These men must be lodged and fed by those for whom they work and a stipend of ten pfennig (2 1-2 cents) a day will be paid. The authorities are said to have urged farmers to take advantage of this opportunity as the economic welfare of the country is dependent upon the production of large crops. G. T. P. Preparing for Rupert Fish Trade That the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway is adding CO new refrigerator cars to its present equipment, in order to handle the rapidly increasing amount of fish being shipped from Prince Rupert, wasihe statement made a short time ago by Supt. Norman, of the Canadian Express Co., which handles all the express matter of the G. T. P. The cars are already under construction, and the first of them will arrive in Winnipeg on April 20. After that, delivery will be at the rate of two a week, the whole number to be delivered by May 15. No expense is being spared in the construction of the new cars, and every facility to increase their efficiency will be included. Attached to passenger trains, the cars will be able to land fish in Eastern Canada or the Eastern States in just as fresh a condition as they leave the Coast. Each of the cars will have a minimum capacity of ten tons, or 100 boxes. The fish are packed in crushed ice. Fish shipments from Prince Rupert have increased greatly during the past few months. In December, 27 carloads were shipped; in January a total of 75 carloads was reached, and an even greater number, it is expected, will go forward during February. "TWILIGHT SLEEP' NOW ALL THE RAGE "Twilight sleep" baby exhibitions and "twilight sleep" lectures are all the rage in Chicago and New York just now. It is the German method of painless childbirth, which is induced by the administration of a drug. Eminent obstetricians in the United States testify to an extremely low rate of infant mortality with the "twilight sleep" entry into the world. Until last week the "twilight sleep" treatment had been used only in childbirth cases. Two Chicago physicians decided to test its efficacy for other purposes, While under the influence of the drug, a Chicago minister had his appendix removed, and another epileptic man had a section of his shinbone fitted into his depressed skull. Neither of the patients felt any pain. "Twilight sleep" is produced by scopolamin and depresses the heart less than other anaethesia. No nausea ensues, and there is not the risk of pneumonia and kidney trouble incident to the use of chloroform. The success of the Chicago cases will promote the use of twilight sleep materially.

To Inaugurate Semi-Weekly Service Mr. Nutt pointed out that, with all the modern liners under requisition to the Imperial Government, the company was severely handicapped in maintaining anything like their usual first-class service. He The resumption of the Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Company's semi-weekly service between Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle, whereby the "Prince Rupert" would e- merge from retirement, is being planned by the officials of the line. The double-weekly service will be inaugurated about April 1st, and before that date the sailing schedules of the coasting steamships Prince George and Prince Rupert will be announced. oarInIeeds. could express no opinion as to wben such fine steamships as the Alsatian j p]y tlio needs of and Calgarian would be released to ^ and the wants of the people thc mercantile trade.

Northern Pacific Une 5000 FACTS ABOUT CANADA "Know Canada! Make Canada known!" is a striking sentence in the War Year edition for 1915 of that pop- ular booklet "5000 Facta about Canada," compiled by Frank Yeigh, of Toronto, who knows Canada as probably few Canadians do. It ia true that he who would know Canada and its wonderful growth in any one year, will find this annual publication "worth its weight in Yukon gold or Cobalt silver," while as a means of making tho Dominion known in other countries, it is no less valuable. Fifty chapters are devoted to such subjects as Agriculture, Area, Banking, Census, Immigration, Mining, Manufacturing, Trade, etc., and a page of Canadian War Facts show how up-to-date it is. Sketch Maps are included of the Dominion in 1867 and 1915. Copies may be had from progressive newsdealers, or by sending 26c to the Canadian FactB Publishing Co., 588 Huron Street, Toronto Canada. ' Victoria. — A party of legislators and business men from Victoria, Vancouver, New Westminster and other western points went on an inspection tour over the Canadian Northern Pacific as far as the bridge site at Cisco, early in the week. From Port Mann to Cisco the road follows the south and east banks of the Kraser for 170 miles. This distance was made on the outward trip in li 1-2 hours and on the return in an hour less. At Cisco the train was pulled into the centre of tin? big spun of the bridge and halted there to allow the party to take in the magnificent view up and down tho river canyon. Tlie line passes through the districts of Langley, Surrey, Sumas and Chilliwack, in all of which there is a great deal of land under cultivation. It is conceded that a ship of war may hoist a neutral flag or any other flag in order that she may enter a port belonging to her enemy or in order to take enemy ships of war unawares, and wc assume, if the German contention is correct, and ships of war belonging to belligerents may sink enemy merchant ships without notiee, such ship of war may hoist any flag she may choose in order to get within reach of the merchantmen. Surely, then a merchantman has a right to hoist any flag she may see fit in order to escape destruction. If not, why not? J. F.
