It is now definitely-settled that a former resident of Bella Coola, Pte. David Young of the 3rd Canadian Pioneer Battalion was killed in action on the 23rd October last year.

A ���������: short time ago there was quite an agitation over butter and other food fats costing too much and so could not be used " by the poorer classes. A prominent physician claims that this will lead to the undermining of the constitution in the growing up of future generations. A delegation of leading men waited on the Hon. Martin Burril, minister of agriculture, urging upon him the desirability of starting margarine plants in Canada to overcome this food fat shortage. The minister told the delegates thatthefewere one hundred and fifty million dollars invested in ��������� creameries in Canada and he was 'not going, to allow any one to compete with them although the health of the nation was at stake. o o o o o Whether the feeding of babes has anything to do with the food fat question or not is beyond our knowledge, it can be determined by scientific research and experiments. However, this we have from a no less source than the department of labor of the United States which says: 'The investigation of infant mortality carried out by the department of labor shows that it varies from one 1 death to every four babies whose fathers earn less than $450 per year to one death among every sixteen babies whose fathers earn $1050 or more per year." s o o o o o When the .earning power of a parent is so small that their chil- dren���������cannot be properly fed and cared for, thereby rearing a weak nation/or even keeping up a higher death rate than among those more favored, then it is time that the nation itself becomes the guardian and see to the proper bringing up of the youngsters, that must after all be the rearer of coming generations, as it has been aptly.said that the "child is the father of the man." .Encourage Shipbuilding. Shipbuilding is now a very much live subject. Notbhlythe warring nations, Jgujt neutral countries are building ships at an unheard of rate'to keep-pace with the enormous loss 'of; tonnage caused by the wanton destruction of shipping by German submarines. Building and outfitting 'of vessels have taken .place in Canada on ^the Atlantic coast, and the past-year has seen the completion of some on the Pacific coast as well. Now that shipbuilding in'British Columbia has every prospect of becoming a big industry, in Victoria this year new yards are to be opened and keels laid for many vessels, while the Vancouver yards promise great increase what is the terminus of the much talked of railway, Prince Rupert, doing; why no shipbuilding there? The people of Canada have put a lot of money into this road and its undertakings, then why not attempt to use its facilities, including the drydock which has practically been lying idle since its completion. Why are all the ships being built in Victoria and Vancouver? Is the Borden government trying to destroy the Grand Trunk and-its terminal that the people's money has lavishly been spent on? ���������- o o o o o The'pressis heralding the tearing up of the track of theG.T.P. in Alberta. Is this the beginning of the end of this great undertaking? Why was not the track of the Canadian Northern torn up? Is the Canadian Bank of Commerce the bankers to Mackenzie and Mann? Is Sir Thomas White, the finance minister of Borden's .cabinet, a shareholder in this bankinginstit'ution? Is this destruction of the G.T.P. line done under the direction of the Borden government? Why was not the track of the Mackenzie & Mann road between Kamloops and Vancouver torn up if the rails are needed over in France, as this section of B. C. is served by'the C. P. R. iiftSisiiKis HAS BEEN CANADA'S FAVORITE YEAST FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS ^^WHliBtU^I iiiiii MAKE PERFECT KfiUEirctN The times are changed, and we should change. o o o o o Among the exchanges last week we received a copy of the Comox Argus. Judging from the general make up.and its full local news columns The Argus will be quite a booster for the Courtenay section of the province. We also congratulate Mr. A. II. Herd on his enterprise as it certainly shows some pluck in starting a newspaper at this time. Latest is that the' munition board is going up toAlberni to locate shipbuilding plants. Is this so as to bring supplies wanted over the Canadian Northern and Canadian Pacific roads and thereby leaving the Grand Trunk out of the whole transportation business as has been the case hereto'. o o o o o Themanagementof theG.T.P. is without doubt a poor one and, viewing it at long range, needs to be buried. It looks as if the other railroads with the aid of the Borden government are making these troublesome times the occasion to bury it. Now the Liberals Can Share. Some deluded individuals probably imagine that a government that hasn't public opinion behind it has no business being in office, but that idea is old fashioned. The modern thing to do is to wait until the public opinion comes around to the government's view point, the' administration .meanwhile doing nothing as gracefully as possible, or messing up what it attempts. If the public never comes around to the administration's view, we presume nothing would ever be done and we would slump into'a policy of masterful inactivity, without the masterful. Nevertheless, some ������ Cr exrpect a government to be more' than an aggregation of,opportunists, or composed of timid statesmen who await the first sign of popular approval before venturing on any course of action. Then again, some people seem to imagine that all a government or a prime minister has to do is to carry out a policy regardless of anybody or anything. There have been insistent cries that the Borden government was weak because it did not introduce conscription two years ago. Wellj look at the opposition to conscription now, when, the arguments in favor of it "are very much stronger than they were Teach him with a real, maaly arm, a Remington UMC .22 rifle. Give him Remington UMC ratable ammunition and enjoy seeing his scores improve. Don't ������������y "anything is ' good enough for boys." It 1 isn't. Especially when you can just as easily give him Kemintrton UMC. - ,. before'.Canada^ raised her voluntary armies. To overcome conscription the prime minister appears to have gone to every length but one, and that concerned ,with the political fortunes of the government. Contrast the attitude of Premier Borden with that of another leader, Premier Hughes of Australia. Like Premier Borden, the Australian leader had gone to London during the war and, similarly, had-pledged the full co-operation of; his country in the common task. He returned home and introduced his conscription measure against the determined opposition of his own party. He courted defeat for a principle. He was defeated-but not crushed.' He stuck to his colors and in the recently concluded general election the "man who dared" was returned to power by safe majorities. Premier Borden was as well aware of the necessity of conscription in Canada as was Premier Hughes in Australia. ��������� Likewise "it is apparent that there was opposition to the measure in Australia as formidable, in a political sense, as any which has developed .in this country. Yet where Premier Hughes courageously and statesmanlike proceeded to demonstrate the responsibilities of government, Premier. Borden preferred to quibble. First we had the National Service scheme, which was but a play at compulsory service. It failed-to accomplish anything but add to our stock of statistics.. Then we had the home defense plan. This was a pathetic subterfuge, a cdn- fession of weakness which was at once recognized at its worth throughout the country. -Finally,- the administration has come back to the point from which it should never have deviated, but even now it baulks and has arranged a coalition government to share responsibility.' But previous it had never shown any inclination to share the other functions of government with its opponents. \ o o - o o o Was the Czar a Traitor?

Whatever the reason, Paris was saved and the original plan of Germany winning the war in short time was upset. Former minister of public works in the Italian government, Au- gusto Ciuffelli, and now a mem- bnr of tlie Italian war mission to America sheds some light on the subject. Italy's action helped France throw back the Germans at the Marne and also weakened the German-Austro offensive on Russia. In both eases, lie said, Italy's attitude was most'opportune. "Upon Italy's declaration-of neutrality at the outbreak of the war" said Ciuffelli, "France was able to withdraw one-half million men from our<frontier and throw them across the German path before Paris. "At that time France was pressed for trained men and supplies and the British army was not yet mobilized. Without Italy's action, the Germans would probably have entered Paris. "Similarly, Italy's actual "entrance into the war in May, 1915, tremendously aided the retreating and disorganized Russian armies and created such a diversion as to save Russia from being reduced to impotence. "Again, Italy's action was decisive. "If Italy had been inspired by lust of conquest she could easily have joined with Germany whose victory would have been tremendously facilitated by her intervention. But Italy could, not make herself a party to "the aggression of Austria upon Serbia, or aid in a war featured, by the invasion of Belgium. Italy could not join the two imperial dynasties which dreamed of world domination on the principle that might makes right. "Italy's sacrifice in this war has been staggering. We now have four million men under Canada's Boys Want Smokes! Will You Help? If so, Mr. Francis R. Jones will.be pleased to answer any enquiries addressed to the Canadian Office of the Over-Seas Club, Room 28, Windsor HoteK 'Montreal, and will be glad to supply Collecting Books, Contribution Cards, Boxes and Circulars to any who are willing to assist. $1 a Year Published every Saturday at BELLA COOLA, B.

Every yard we have conquered has cost us terribly. ��������������� "Some of our heavy guns are fighting from an elevation of over two miles on peaks 9000 feet high. Our roads and supply-lines in many cases have been cut through solid ice. A whole new human centre has been built up in the most inaccessible part of the Alps. ,' "This must be the last war. Nations can not in the future squander all their money.on military preparedness. The new spirit must make us live together in the ideals of peace and justice. Italy is eager to take her place in a new world organized for peace, just as on a smaller scale at" the Algeciras conference she made possible the international agreement on Morocco." The biggest steamer on the* Great Lakes is owned by a Canadian steamship line. She was built at Port Arthur, is 625 feet long, and has a grain capacity of 425,000 bushels. . French Co-operation. Eight French farmers, whose farms adjoin.and embrace nearly 600.acres alj told, last January formed a co-operative plowing association for the purpose of enabling them to get through with their spring plowing despite labor scarcity. They secured a 25-horse-power" tractor and a three-furrow plow, the expense of the work performed by the" machine to be rated according to the area ' cultivated for each member. Lots were drawn for the first use of the plow, and after the, machine has been around once the order will be re- verseed, but in all cases preference is to be given for the heavier land, which can be plowed only in fine weather. - Which Do You See?

Cannot Compete A:short time quite an agitation and/other food fats costing too much and so could not be used by the poorer classes. A prominent physician claims that this will lead to the undermining of the constitution in the growing up of future generations. A delegation of leading men waited , on the.Hon. Martin Burril, minister of agriculture, urging upon him tHe desirability of starting margarine plants in Canada to overcome this food fat shortage. The minister told the delegates that.there were one hundred and fifty million' dollars invested in creameries in Canada and he was not going to~ allow any one to compete with.them although the health of the nation was'at stake. o 'o C C O .- " Whether the feeding of babes has anything.to do with the food fat question or not is beyond our knowledge, it can be determined by scientific research and experiments. However, this we have from a no less source than the department of labor of the United States which says: "The investigation of infant mortality carried out by the. department of labor shows that it varies from one deatli to every four babies whose fathers earn less than $450 per year to one death among every sixteen babies whose fathers earn % 1050 or more.per year." ...

Premier Borden was as well aware of the necessity of conscription in Canada as was Pre- mierHiighes in Australia. - Likewise "it is apparent that there was opposition to the measure in Australia as formidable, in a political sense, as any which has developed_in this country. -Yet until the public opinion comes ("where Premier Hughes courage- o s ~ Latest is that the munition board is going up to Alberni to locate shipbuilding plants. .Is this so as to bring supplies wanted over the Canadian Northern and Canadian.

Many have been the guesses 5made why the Germans failed to take Paris. Whatever the reason, Paris was saved and the original plan of Germany winning the war in short time was upset. Former minister of public works in the Italian, government, Au- gusto Ciuffelli/and now a mem- bnr of the Italian war mission toj America sheds some light oh the.' subject. Italy's action helped France throw back the Germans at the Marne and also weakened the German-Austro offensive on Russia. In both cases, he said, Italy's attitude was most opportune. " , "Upon Italy's declaration-of neutrality at the outbreak of the war" said-Ciuffelli, "France was able to withdraw one-half million men from our frontier and throw them across the German path before Paris. At that time France was pressed for trained men and supplies and the British army was not yet mobilized. Without Italy's action, the Germans would probably have entered Paris. "Similarly, Italy's actual entrance into the war in May, 1915, tremendously aided the retreating and disorganized Russian armies and created such a diversion as to save Russia from being reduced to impotence. "Again, I tabu's action was decisive. ' "If Italy had been inspired by lust of\conquesfc she could easily have joined with Germany whose victory would have been tremendously facilitated by her intervention. VBut Italy could, not make herself a party to:the aggression of Austria,upon Serbia, or aid in a war featured by the invasion of Belgium^ Italy could not join the two imperial dynasties which dreamed of world domination on the principle that might makes right.
