PREMIER BOWSER CONFIDENT OF T1SDAITS RETURN RUSSIANS STILL PURSUE FLEEING TURKISH FORCES Kaiser Now On The Western Front May Strike Blow Turkish Armies Are Still Pursued By Victorious Russians Petrograd, Feb. 22.—Both at the centre, in the Erzerum district, and on the widely extended northern and southern flanks tlie Russians are everywhere continuing with energy the pursuit of the routed Turkish armies.

Mr. Maitland, who has always" interested himself in the welfare of labor, and who represented labor on the city council as alderman for a number of years, took the opportunity of thanking the Trades and Labor Council for the support and assistance given him while In the city. He had endeavored to do his best to serve the interests of labor, assisting in the organization of different unions and In the up-keep of a fair wage. He did not accept nomination for the city council this year, on account, of his enlisting in the service of his country, but If he returned to the city, which he hoped to do, he would again assist the Trades and Labor Council in every way possible.

O, IN WAR His ActHin Considered To Be Of The Highest Order. The news that H. J. Arnold has been" made a companion of the Distinguished Service Orner will be of interest to residents on the coast. Up to October, 1914, Mr. Arnold was in charge of the Dominion wireless station at Ikeda, Queen Charlotte Islands. Mr. Arnold entered the Canadian Government wireless service in June, 1911, being first employed as an operator at Triangle station and then at Cape Lazo. During one of the heavy gales .at ithe Triangle station the aerial halyards were carried away. Operator Arnold volunteered to "shin" up the 200 feet mast and reeve a new halyard. This he ac-' complished, by no means an easy nor safe exploit. Later Mr. Arnold was transferred to Ikeda station as officer in charge. When the war broke out he had ambitions, chief amongst them being to work wireless from an aeroplane. He applieo and obtained permission to resign, paid his own way to England, and joined the R. N, A. S. Incidentally it might be mentioned that no boat was leaving Ikeda in time for Mr. Arnold to make connections wilh an Atlantic vessel he proposed to take.

Its truthful picture of American ambitions and sentiments has nt vei been excelled, In story, play, or even in actuality. The oetailed story of this notable feature, now Ihe chief 'attraction at the Westholme Theatre is as follows: In their quiet little farm home, Esmeralda lives with her father and mother. For Esmeralda and her father the little home means content- ! nii'iii and peace, but for the mother | il is quite tiie opposite. She longs : fur .i life in the society of the city and for the adulation of people in Another and greater joy enters the heart of Esmeralda when shi . alizi i I that she loves nnd is loved by her childhood companion, Dave Hardy. \\T ii tht good '. '.v - reaolhi s (he - ai's i f her father, he is happy, but the mother shows clearly that she has greater ambitions for her daughter than io marry her off "to a farmer to slave and drugde all her life as I have done." Then, from oul of the sky, comes the wonderful discovery that ore has heen found in large quantities on the little farm. The mother then prepares to enter the life for which she always yearned, and after telling Dave that a marriage between himself and Esmeralda is now out of the question, she leaves for the city. Dave, realizing also that he has now no tight to Esmeralda's hand, starts out for the same city to win "a name for himself" and return to claim her. The last farewell to the old home for Esmeralda and her father is a heart-breaking one. The little farmhouse is part of their very lives, and it Is difficult to believe that they must say goodbye to Its simple comfort— perhaps forever. Dave, after a bitter but futile fight in the city, admits to himself that he is a failure, and reconciles himself to the life of his ancestors on the old farm, while Esmeralda and her father are quile lost in the maze of the artificial life of which they are now a part, with only the mother supremely happy. Tlie Income from the lease of the i farm enables the mother to purchase a magnificent homo in the city and to employ the services of a society woman to teach them, the rules or re- I finer, etiquette. From this point the ■lay progresses to the nighl or their recei liori, it Is hen' thai Es- aldn meets tin poverty-stricken j Marquis, In whom her ihother sees the po slblllty of making i big mar riage for her daughter, Esmeralda refuses to consonl to her mother's desires, which forces the latter to exei re drastli measm es with her lawyer in write Esmeralda a letter thai her lover Is dead.

BRITISH CREDIT Bache & Company York, in the review of the situation pays a compliment to Britain's credit, which this house puts as practically unlimited. The review says: The British Chancellor, in bis statements to Parliament last December, estimated the holdings of American sei urities In Great Britain at from $1,500, , I to $4,000,000,- ". and ■ spressed the hope that the sun would change in the United Stati - foi the I eriod of the war. The gross cosl of the war to Great Britain does nol 30 much concern that country, as the part of thai cost which needs to- he paid to other countries for the necessities of life and for munitions and manufactures a large proportion of which are cO' Ing from this country. ." mobilization of American seem Hies is a movement in preparedness, which will go a long way to- wai-Qs providing for this part of war posts. As to general costs, on the ability of the Government to borrow, based upon the great wealth of the country, there is practically no limit from the viewpoint of probable needs. The after-effects of a great national debt will have to be met, but by additional taxation the Government is paving the way. England's total revenue before the war was around $900,000,000 to $1,000,000,- 000 annually. Owing to the steady growth of taxation, ii is estimated that receipts from revenue for the fiscal year to March 1st will approximate $1,500,000,000 and over, and for the following year, swelled hy large taxes on war profits, will increase to around $2,000,000,000.
