FIERCE FIGHTING ON THI
BATTLE FRONT
BRITISH POLITICAL CRISIS S
A TIME
The Germans Again Bombarding Nancy With Big Guns
All Hope Has Been Abandoned For The Barque Callao
All Hope Abandoned
For Peruvian Barque
Callao In Pacific
Seattle, Jan. 8.—The local agent
for the W. R. Grace & Company has
abandoned all hope for the Peruvian
barque Callao. She was last sighted
in distress off Ucluelet, on the west
coast of Vancouver Island, on the
night of December 28. The company
had communicated by wireless with
all incoming steamers to watch for
t: t Callao. No trace of the vessel
has been found, and it is now believed she has foundered.
The barque, when she was last
seen, was dismasted. She was driven
to sea before help could reach her,
and although several other ships have
come to the Straits of Juan de Fuca,
since then nothing has been seen of
the Callao.
GERMANS HAVE BEEN
BOMBARDING NANCY
FOR THREE DAYS
Paris, Jan. 8.—Six persons have
been killed and ten wounded during
the last three days, in the bombardment of Nancy. The Germans are
using fifteen iijclt guns in their attacks. M&
W. R. Taylor, of the G. T. P. service, who has been in the Vancouver
ami San Francisco offices, will arrive
shortly as assistant to G. A. Mc-
Nlclioll, Assistant General Freight
and Passenger Agent.
Insure now with M. M. Stephens.
Russian Official
Report States That
Decided Gain Made
London, Jan. 8.—The battle continues between the Russians and the
Austro-Gcrmans in Galicia. At Buko-
wina the Russians claim further
gains, while the Austrians maintain
they are holding their ground.
The Austrians have made a determined counter attack along the middle Stripa and northeast of Czerno-
witz. According to the Russian official report, the Austrians were beaten back with enormous losses, while
the Russians made distinct gains, occupying several Austrian positions
and taking more than 1,300 prisoners.
Mrs.  Morte Craig has gone south
on a visit.

A LADY CANDIDATE FOR
THE SCHOOL BOARD
Miss R. M.  Davies Is Offering Her
Services As A School Trustee
At The Coming Election.
Among the candidates that will
offer themselves at the forthcoming
election, as school trustee, will be
Miss R. M. Davies. This is the first
occasion upon which there has been
a lady candidate for the office in this
city, but the election of ladies in
other cities of the province on this
board is not at all uncommon.
Miss Davies, who has lived In this
city for a considerable time, is eminently qualified for the position that
she seeks to fill. She has devoted to
the teaching and the care of children
a number of years. For a time she
was superintendent of the Indian
(llrls Industrial School at. Metlakatla.
That she is heartily interested in
tho work is evidenced from the fact
lhat she has devoted herself to the
work of teaching, In many Instances
at her own expense.

Move   Than   Usual   Interest   Shown
In The Coming
Contest.
Following a period of unusual
calm, in connection with the muni-
ipal campaign, there has suddenly
arisen a decided interest in the coming contest, and instead of the usual
small number of candidates, this
coming election promises to see more
than the usual number in the running. While the mayoralty contest
Is now altogether likely to be confined to the present Mayor and M. P.
McCaffery, the interest is beginning
to be attached to the aldermen, who
are abundant.
Among these are a number of
c'tizens who have not been in the
council before, but among them are
many who shoula make good members of the council. Robert Smith,
who, as the head of the old firm of
Smith & Mallett, plumbers of the
city, is well known to all, decided
yesterday, after considerable persuasion by friends, to consent lo run.
Frank Clapp, who has very heavy interests in the city, also announced
himself and is seeking election.
Thomas McMeekin,, the wei) known
grocer is in the field. George Munro,
who has resided here for many years,
and has followed the business of contractor, has decided to be a candidate
ana is going into nomination. O. H.
Nelson, editor of the Journal, has
been inveigled into entering the contest, on a request that seemed to indicate a general desire. D. C. McRae, of McRae Bros stationers, has
decided lo run, although at first
withdrawing. W. Angle, one of the
well known citizens who has taken
a deep interest in the successive
councils is running, in order to show
what should be done at the council
board. W. G. Barrie, whose connection with the city has been a long
one, will be a candidale also. He belongs to the mechanical class, being
employed in the warehouse of Georgo
D. Tlte. It is expected that he will
be endorsed by the Trades and Labor
Council.
There are a number in addition to
these who are expetced to announce
themselves before election day. There
are several already In the Held, and
soem of the old council thai have not
yet announced themselves will be doing so it is said. ,

Halibut Boats Again
Arriving In Port After
Holiday Season
After the holiday season, fishing is   will be unloadeu from the boats to-
again beginning out of this port. Advantage is taken of the holiday season usually and the time immediate
ly preceeding It and also following,
t0 have a general overhauling of the
boats. This is now about accomplished and the boats are out on the
banks. In a very short time now, it
is anticipated that there will be the
usual number of boats coming into
port again with their catches of halibut.
Yesterday the monotony of the offseason was broken by the arrival in
As the European war is not only
a war of men with which to recruit
wasting armies, but of material with
which to replenish depleted supplies,
and even more a war of money with
which to finance the whole gigantic
extravagance, anything which sheds
light on the financial position of the
belligerents helps to determine the
posture of the conflict, says the New
York Sun.
There are special reasons why
every fact which tends to illuminate
the financial condition of Germany
attracts special attention. The great
mystery of the war is Germany's economic condition. The Central Powers
still hold very clearly the military
advantage on land, but while the experts are calculating the resources
of the Teutonic Allies in terms of
armies and territory occupied, the
real battle of the war is being fought
by forces which operate inexorably,
although not, so much in the open.
It Is material anil money, the munitions of war ana the commodities
by which the non-combatant popul
tion is supported, but above all
money, which has most to be reckoned with in the prosecution of the
struggle. The side to which the balance of advantage inclines in these
respects, particularly in respect to
money, has most in its favor in the
continuation of the war. That Germany in this relation stands as well
as it does in all the relations of military organization is more than doubtful.
Taking monetary resources for
carrying on the war to mean all the
.apparatus of finance which can bo
aevoted to mobilize accumulated and
productive wealth, there have been
few economists of any description
who have been able to analyze satisfactorily Ihe relative strength of the
belligerents in order to yield unde-
batable conclusions. Nevertheless the!

day when the vessels will get back to
the banks. The men report that the
fishing, while fairly gooa, was tinder
trying conditions of cold weather.
The boats were the Polaris, Capt.
E. Erickson, and the Sitka, Capt. J.
Joliannson. The prices paid for the
catches were six cents and six and an
eighth cents. The one sold to the
Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company and the other to tlie Atlin
Fisheries.
The crews of the vessels report
port of two of the vessels from the ; that there were several of the fleet
banks. These had each of them good on the banks, and there will be a
catches of 75,000 pounds each, mak- number more arriving on the fishing

Socialists Threaten i
Strike In Coal Mines
In Great Britain
London, Jan. 8.—The British political crisis over conscription has
su' sided for a lime at least. The
">ne3ition has gradually simmered
down, as did the threatened revolt
against the drink restrictions.
The most radical section of the |
labor men, particularly the Socialist j
branch, talk of a strike among the
coal miners, which would bring the
wheels of industry to a standstill,
and handicap the shipping industry
which is the bean of the nation's
life.

Till; M.U   IMPERIALISM.
Never again can imperialism be
made a class or party cry in England. Henceforth it must be, not a
divisive, but a unifying symbol. It
is the. banner under which we must
all he imperialists from now on,
avowedly so, or declare ourselves recreant to our highest trusts, and unworthy of our history's brightest
page, says the British Weekly. To
cry down imperialism now as though
it were the consort of militarism
would be incorrgible stupidity if not
unpardonable perversenese. During
the last fifteen months the new imperialism has stood forth to strike
down militarism once and for all and
to champion the cause of international truth-keeping, brotherliness and'
penr'?.
'■ lie British Empire was not established, primarily, by the might of the
sword, nor has it been sustained by
military force. Legitimate, peaceful,
commendable human impulses gave it
birth, and spiritual bonds have held
It together. With'her* unique and
splendid insular position in the centre
of the world, wooed by the ends of
the earth, Britain from the first was
barked for empire. Loving the "blue
water" and at home upon Its bosom,

Department, of Public Works,
Ottawa, December 23, 1916.
Germany every trained observer
knows who has tried to follow the involved processes by which the German Imperial Government has raised
a dizzy structure of pyramided credit,
or who has sought to calculate the
consequences without repi.rd for the
official explanations of German finance, notably the explanations offered by the financial secretary, Helf-
ferich, which have "ecu so obviously
designed for the comfort of the German people. It begins lo look more
an more, however, as though Germany had reached u stage of economic impairment which was forcing
Involuntary confessions 'hat all was
not going nearly as well with Teutonic finances as had been represented, and that a military situation on
which u world umpire might, In a
cosmic Kriegspiel, award a decision
to the Central Powers was perhaps
more than offset by rapidly growing financial  weakness.
There is a new note In the addresses which Dr. Helfferich Is making to
expound the new war budget and invoke support for the programme of
war expenditure. In the last few
months rumors of the skyscraping
cost on living in Germany have indicated that commodities were expressing a mounting premium on gold, despite edicts proscribing tlie quotation of German paper credits at any
discount from gold. In the same way
the foreign exchange have been telling of the debasement and debility
of Germany's monetary system.
We have seen here, in tlie last few
weeks alone, the discount on the German mark carried from fifteen to almost twenty per cent. The discount
has been still larger in Holland, with
which Germany maintains closer
business relations than with any
other country. At the same time, the
principal exchanges of the Allies have
shown, in the firmer recovery of some
stability for sterling and francs, a
strengthening derived from an increasingly effective mobilization of
British and French wealth. And now
comes Dr. Helfferich talking to the
German people through the Reichstag
about taxes which are going to be
colossal.
As late as last August Dr. Helfferich was discussing war finance in
the language of an avoidance of taxation. There was a hint that some
heavier burden of taxation must be
expected, but he was still able to
conjure up a vision of enormous indemnities to be paid by Germany's
enemies which would be compensation for all the financial sacrifices
of the German people during the war.
The whole German scheme of war
finance was founded on discounted
indemnities, although nobody outside
of Germany can see any prospect that
Berlin and Vienna will ever have it
in their power to make a peace involving the exaction of money in any
form from their present foes. But Ihe
references to indemnity which the
German financial secretary makes as
yet arc only incidental. Tho change
which is coming over Germany is all
summed up in bis efforts to prepare
Ihe Kaiser's subjects for the taxation
which tlipy niusi endure henceforth.
Probably when the time arrives to
take up the budget, after Ihe one
now under consideration all talk of
Indemnities will have ended and some
pi ogress will have been made In answering the question which Gorman
Socialists seem to be hinting at, as
lo Whether or nol Germany is goiii'-'
bankrupt.
