The Dardanelles Will Soon Be Forced Submarines Play Havoc With Turkish Ships Sinking Battleship, Gunboat and Torpedo Boat London, Aug. 13.���������After sinking the Turkish battleship Kheys- Ed-Din Barboressa, a gunboat and a torpedo boat, says a despatch to the Times from Mitylene,-the two British submarines which accomplished the feat drew close to the shore and shelled a column of Turkish troops marching towards the town of Gal- lipoli, inflicting heavy losses upon them. The Allies in the Dardanelles are greatly elated at the sinking, of the Barboressa, which was a thorn in their sides because of the accurate fire of its high trajectory guns, which more than once hampered the movements of allied ships approaching the gulf of Saros by firing across the peninsula. Foreigners in Turkey the Times despatch says, have been forced to discard hats and wear Turkish fez's as a precaution against insults and illtreatment by natives. Montreal, Aug. 13. ��������� "The Dardanelles will soon be forced," said Sergeant J. C. Smith a New Zealand soldier, who was wounded at the Gallipoli Peninsula and who passed through Montreal yesterday on his way home to Auckland, via Vancouver.

I have been twice wounded and have just reported to th6 above Canadian base to await the next batch to France. "I guess you read about our doings at Ypres and Festubert. We had a very lively time. I am thankful to be alive today. Dick- Lees is reported missing; I think he was killed at Ypres along with Green, who was blown to pieces by a shell. ... "Corp. P. J. Kenyon." Mr. R.

There are seven regiments of the Scottish Horse ready and they are hoping to go almost immediately to the front. There is a possibility that they will go as dismounted troops.

Political Strife. - "Some of the Liberal campaigners in this province are beginning - to show impatience over Mr. Bowser's delay in making aVan-" couv.er speech on the B. C.- crisis. They seem to be looking for something which will provoke an interest in their own speeches.-' Meanwhile the electors are giving attention to a much larger and more serious crisis."-���������News-Advertiser. The Conservative press in this '. province is very much opposed to any political discussions taking place during the war. We,have referred to this-matter before; but we return-to it again because tire change of front on the part of the government and such change neither will nor can be made by the party in power. It is lacking both in will and ability. The voters must be roused,^their attention called to this state of affairs, and they must be appealed to,' to turn out' of power a party which, for the present at least, is past its usefulness and is doing the country positive harm. In fighting the enemy at our g-ates, we cannot afford to neglect the enemy in our midst. These are harsh words to use, but they are nevertheless true. Those who do not strengthen-the hands of the nation at-this time but who are rather doing trie opposite by their extravagant ways, must be classed as indicated above. "He who gathereth not, scattered." Therefore we shall continue to-'call attention to the evils of the administration as long as we have any hope of getting them remedied. The only way to stop political discussibh in the province7at this timeris to hold an "election as soon as-pos- sible and :p*ut.irr.a new government. " '/'-' '."'';'.' '" ~ " ' ;GJ-LLET:,TS , GLEANS-DISINFECTS I Retribution. . . A provincial election has been held "in'^Mani-toba and according to a dispatch" received last Saturday the Conservative party, as reconstructed, went down -to a crushing defeat." Full returns are not at hand, but strong indications are. that.out of 48.constituencies the Conservatives carried only five. '��������� This-result of the "election a huge campaign fund. In collusion with- the contractor, Mr. Kelly, the contract and specifications were'changed so as to enable the contractor to draw about $1,000,000 out of the provincial treasury for work and material aot furnished.���������_, ' ~ .The opposition, . suspecting something in the way of graft going, on, tried to verify its suspicion, but "met with, many difficulties placed -in its way by the government. The.opposition then asked that a'commission be appointed; but this the government refused. It then carried its.charges to- the lieutenant- governor, who ordered ah investigation and had a commission appointed;'" with, the' result that theAConservative -government, seeing itself foredoomed of being found guilty, resigned and a Liberal government was called to the administration. The result of -the investigation has more than justified the. charges'preferred; in fact the findings are so grave that very likely crimin- al proceedings will be started against the former government. t We should riot have blamed the Conservatives so much for the guilt of'the Conservative government in Manitoba if it had not been because of-its attitude in connection with the affair. The press of the party defended the government after-every intelligent'man'was convinced that it was engaged in-very.question conduct of the Conservative party and press reprehensible is in the facts���������that they first defended a crime committed by their representatives in power and when defeated in this they tried to besmirch the good name of those who brought the investigation about. When the Conservative party failed in its efforts to defend its representatives against the charges made it reorganized so to speak, by denouncing the( men found guilty, electing new Readers and adopt- ing a platform endorsing every political virtue and the prohibition of the-liquor traffic. On. this denouncement and platform it appealed to the voters for their support; but the voters not approving of its former attitude in the graft scandal and very likely considering 'their changed front in the nature of a death bed repentance' and thus not above suspicion, nearly wiped it out of representation after a long, period of abuse of power.

It found/fault The 1 tion clear in this respect arguments in"favor of the cessa- ~ tion- of political warfare at this time, have considerable force and cannot be brushed aside lightly. As far as Dominion politics are concerned we are fully in accord with such policy. The term of parliament has yet a long time to run, there is no issue of mag- nitude, compared to the prosecution of the war, on which there is any difference of opinion. The country is fully in accord with the policy of the government on this overshadowing issue. In the matter of .graft in war contracts, it is certainly regrettable that such should occur; but the government, even though it may . be reluctantly, is conducting an investigation and we believe with the intention of punishing wrong doers. And until the contrary is evidentwe should refrain from any controversy on this point at this time. But when it comes to provincial politics the case is entirely different. : The term of this administration is nearly at an end. A 'few months more and there must 1 r be an election; and conditions are such that an election is imperative. The welfare of the province demands that it be not postponed. Over and over again we have, together with the Liberal press and others, called attention to the gross mismanagement of the affairs of the province. This is a time that calls for retrenchment, and the conservation and development of all pur resources, and the present administration is pursuing a policy entirely the opposite. We hold that there must be an en- lation to every lover of free government. Everyone- who,-has read the papers knows the cause that-led up to this defeat; but in order to show that any other result than a Liberal victory would have been regrettable, allow us to point out the following outstanding facts: The late government of Manitoba, which had been Conservative for more than 15 years, was engaged in erecting new parliament buildings. In the letting with the opposition, because," as it claimed, it.,defamed the fair name-of the province. But, finally when-, it found that the government was notable to hide its. crookedness; but that' its shame would be manifesto the world, then, and not till then it abandoned its defense. But instead of humbly acknowledging itself in the wrong and as proof of sincerity lending its support to the investigation; it went to work to prefer false of the contracts, the government] charges against the newgovern- made provision for the raising ofj ment.' And where we. find the The Liberals Are Now , . J Squelched. The attorney-general has at last made his reply to'the charges contained in, the now famous pamphlet,' "Crisis in B. C"; We do not care to take up the discussion of either the speech or the "Crisis" at this' time;- as there will be^'plenty of time to do so before election. For.obvious reasons it is not likely that there will be an election untij the parliamentary term expires. In the meantime, before Mr: Bowser's defense is replied. to, the Conservatives claim that now the l^st word in regard "to the/ charges made has been, uttered,' that'the Ministerial Union and the Liberals are utterly dum- founded. .The attitude of the Conservatives in this matter at present is somewhat, similar .to that of a:' justice of the peace before whom' a case of some petty crime wasj being tried. He listened carefully to the plea of the lawyer for the defense and when that learned gentleman closed and the prosecuting attorney rose to his feet, the justice waived him down and told him it was no use for him to say anything as he had made up his mind, that the accusation niade against the defendant had���������no foundation in1 fact, but had been made out of malice and therefore the case was dismissed.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. ���������HTHE REASONS for this enviable co.ndi- ���������*��������� tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. The climate is mild and enjoyable ;^lbng warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops. Large and small fruits, garden and field crops are grown to the best advantage. This-'fact'was- established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes.

JNo manufacturer or wholesalehouse can afford to let slip the opportunity . of increased ' sales that public advertising brings. The livestock branch' of the Federal Department of Agriculture has issued an attractive folder to be circulated among // Canadian farmers in an endeavor to encourage them to raise more sheep and' the booklet sets forth the advantage of sheep raising. The matter contained in the pamphlet follows: "There are, according to the .1914 census, 2,058,045 sheep .in Canada, shearing in the neighborhood of about 14,200,0C0 pounds of wool. ' This number represents but a small measure of what Canada's resources will permit in sheep production. "With its boundless areas of. undeveloped land, why should Canada be under the necessity :>f importing'its supplies of wool and mutton when sheep can undoubtedly be^raised with profit lot only in'connection with mixed' farm ing., but as wTell under conditions where-cultivation of the land or the grazing of other animals is impossible? The booklet gives the advantages of sheep raising as follows: . 1. The sheep is a dual purpose animal,-producing both wool and mutton.. ��������� ' n 2: The initial expenditure is small. Every farmer can weli afford the investment of the necessary capital in a few sheep. 3. Rapid monetary returns are received, the- wool clip and the lamb crop being saleable annual- 4. Expensive buildings.are by no means necessary. ,A warm lambing pen is required, but for the. aged sheep, a sheltered shed to protect them from the winter winds is alone sufficient. 5. Weed destruction represents another asset. Sheep will eat and relish almost every class of weed. 6. Sheep admittedly improve soil fertility. Their manure is rich and uniformly distributed. 7."Except at certain seasons of the year, less time and atten- tion need be bestowed upon the care of sheep than in the case of almost any other animal without thereby endangering .successful results.

Dr. Shearer, head of the social service- committee of the Presbyterian Church, the day is not far distant when prohibition throughout Canada will be an accomplished fact. Dr. Shearer has just returned from attending the World's Social Congress at San Francisco, where, with Rev. Dr. Albert Moore of Toronto, he ac-| possible to get ted as delegate appointed by the Dominion Government. "The news of the sweeping victory in Alberta was received with enthusiasm at the congress," said Dr. Shearer. "T have been pleased to note the strong sentiment for prohibition in this province. I believe British Columbia will be the next to go on record as prohibiting the manuf acture.and sale of alcoholic drinks. There is an internal revolution in men's minds with respect to the drink problem. The war came, bringing the great example of Russia abolishing vodka with.a consequent loss of $500,000,000 of revenue. Then France followed with the prohibition of the use of absinthe. "Prior to my visit to San Francisco-1 helped in the campaign in Alberta for some three weeks. It was astonishing to see the change in sentiment on the .part of old-time ranchers, labor leaders and others with respect to the drink question. Business men there, were solidly for prohibition. "Quebec is making great progress toward complete prohibition. , This advancement along prohibition,lines has been greatly furthered by the attitude of Roman Catholic priests toward the traffic.'' More and more they are becoming opposed to the selling of liquor. As an indication of the trend of sentiment, 879 municipalities out of a total of 1108 in Quebec already have prohibition. There is a law in Quebec, which makes the obtaining of prohibition a simple process. If a petition is signed by a certain number in favor of prohibition, it immediately becomes operative in that municipality. ��������� In Montreal - there is a very- considerable reduction'1 in the number of licences each year. A law provides for a certain number'of reductions each year. "In the United States 18 out of 48 states are already dry," (and a majority of the counties of many of the'other states have adopted prohibition under local' option laws. Ed.) "I look for the entire United-States to be dry within the next five years. As soon as two-thirds of the states are in favor of the measure it will be a constitutional amendment that will prohibit the sale and manufacture through the nation."
