London, Dec. 13.—An official report says that General Townsend reports that the enemy shelled his position all day December 8. The bombardment continued during the night,
when the enemy made desultory attacks from all sides.
On December 10 the enemy again
heavily bombarded Kut-El-Amara.
There was developed an attack again-
There was developed an attack
against the north front, a position
which was not pressed.
On December 11 the bombardment
was renewed. Two attacks were made
to the north of this front, which
were repulsed with heavy losses. The
enemy since then has been less active. Reinforcements are being rush-
en' forward to the British lines.
R. Nacien appeared in person and opposed the proposition, largely along
the same lines.
The subject was discussed at
some length.
Aid. Montgomery was In favor of
the Dominion providing adequately
for the soldiers and for the dependents, and not having this thrust
upon local residents.
Aid. Casey.did not agree with basing taxation upon a falling investment like real estate. He felt that,
the council should try to interest the
governments'in the matter. He did
not think it was fair to throw wounded men who were not fit to follow
their former vocation into the labor
market. He thought -there should be
some soldiers compensation act to
deal with this. He wanted to see the
council act with others.
Aid. Beveridge favored Aid. Montgomery's motion. He thought the Dominion Government should take steps
to provide for the Patriotic Fund.
Aid. Maitland contended that If a
woman got $20, and what a man
serving could have given to her, a

Townsite Company in that city. Owing
to the fact that Major Hall is serving
at the front that part of the action
has had to be laid over to be taken

PORT EDWARD CASE.
(Continued from rage One.)
some more actions pending in connection with this fruitful subject of
litigation, arising out of the difficulty
between the Port Edward Townsite
Company and Harrison, Gamble, who
were the selling agents of the company.
The case that was disposed of in
the court yesterday was for the recovery of $12,594.01, which it was
claimed was still due to the town-
site investors as commission for the
sale of lots in the site.
It was brought out during the
hearing of the case that the selling
agents of the company were to receive 20 per cent, commission for the
sale of the lots, but in getting such
a commission there were rather
strenuous obligations put upon the
local firm in the matter of advertising the townsite.
The local sellers were to spend
$50,000 a year in advertising, until
the sale of lots had reached $1,000,-
000. In the first year there was
$53,000 spent in advertising, but in
the second year it fell to less than
$10,000. There were $515,000'worth
of property sold in the townsite.
The plaintiffs contended that the
selling agents here had lived up to
the agreement ns inlerpreled for a
time, rendering statements to the B.
C Trusi Corporation, which was lo
receive the money:- rrom month to
month as the sales were made. Then
a change took place and the statements v.ere not rendered. In Nov.,
191.'! a general statement was made,
but th- commissions that .ven- charg-
(■['i were nn another basis from that
npon which they had been collecting.
It wns -nit forward by the dofen-
dants in the action thai. Ihern was a
sum el' $5,000 in this amount that was
claimed hy Ihe plaintiffs lhat was
held in trust in reality for an investor who claimed Hint be did not
buy, and that pending Ihe settlemeni
with the agents Iu Victoria this
should   nol   lone been  paid  over to
the plaintiffs.
Hit, Lordship gave judgment for
the plaintiffs for the full amount of
the claim, with interest at ." pi r cent,
upon the amount from Nov., 1914,
the date when the action was .started.
He was satisfied that the agents had
an exclusive agency undei t,.e contract. The venture a1, tl ■ ou'set was
regarded as a very favorable one. He
believed th.-■ t the original mstrue-
ii":, placed upon the contrac was the
pro] i r one, The selling agi . ts were
to get one-h If li -heir en ire com-
misslon out oi tlie lirsi payment*
made by buyers oi the properties.
After that they wore to get one-third
of the remainder a^ yearly payment
was made, until the whole ;;u per
cent, of the cost was paid in commission. The construction that they
were to get thirty-three and a third
per rent, of the total commission
when the second payment was made,
as the interpretation was made after
dispute, was not in his opinion thc
real one.
, L. W. Patmore as president of the
townsite company was represented in
the action by Williams & Manson.
The defendants were represented by
W. K. Fisher.

Aid. Casey felt that companies that
benefitted by the war should be maa'e
to pay some way. Copper companies
that made big profits might well be
made to pay. He believed in the matter being dealt with and done promptly.
It was decided to take no action
for the present.

ficials of the city. The general ver-
diet of all was that the production
was the greatest picture that has
ever appeared in the Dominion, and
no reason could be seen by anyone
present for condemning it. An appeal was then made to the Attorney-
General, who after viewing the picture, instructed the Censor to pass it
at once. Through the fairness of the
Attorney-General the people of this
Province have been given an opportunity to witness the greatest photoplay that has ever been produced.
It is nine reels long, taking over-
two hours for a single presentation.
No play ever created such a sensation
in Vancouver as did "The Spoilers,"
as was testified to hy the    fact that
the first week of its presentation at i	
the Colonial Theatre, over twenty such as they were. He had delayed
thousand people witnesesd it, all anxi- his judgment, therefore, for a eon-
OU8 to see the popular picture, over sidevahle time until that day. Tn tbe
which there had been so much dis- meantime some citizens had made inclusion.    The general verdict of all | tercession   for him  asking  for  leni
to the depicting of the play seems to
have been covered. It would not seem
reasonable t0 suggest that its reproduction in this city before a mixed
audience would affect adversely the
morals of any.
"The duties of the censor in dealing with all these plays are exacting
and often delicate, and it is in the
interest of the public whom he serves
that he errs rather on the side of
prudence than of licence. Under the
present instance, however, there does
not seem to be present any feature
which would justify criticism, while
on the other hand the censoring of it
deprives the public of an opportunity
to view a film of exceptional merit
and power."
