Our troops, however, are 'making slow but sure progress, ' capturing trenches and heights. Among the noteworthy actions have been hand to hand engagements fought near Vakh-Karask and Jednorozico, where our troops, who attacked with self- sacrificing valor, gained the day, taking -300 prisoners, eight machine guns and two trench mortars.

Mine Sweeping in Dardanelles Aiistrians Lose Heavily Russian Success in the Carpathians Petrograd, March 26.���������Official bulletin : On the front towards the west of the middle Neiman we continue to make good progress. On the right bank of the Narew and left bank of the Vistula there has been no change of importance. In the Carpathians, our offensive on the front in the district between Bartfeld and Uzsok is developing with complete success. Our troops, operating under extreme difficulties, gained a most decisive success in the region of Luppoff (Laup- kbw) pass where we captured by assault a very important Austrian position "on the great crest of the Beskid mountains. Having forced a wood, which was a perfect entanglement; of barbed wire and surrounded by several lines of trenches, our infantry pushed forward to the main position of the ""enemy, the men hauling the guns. After bom barding it from a distance of six hundred paces, they crossed deep ditches fortified with palisades, and carried the enemy's works which j were strongly armed and provided with internal defenses. The Austrians made several counterattacks in close rank formation, but Avere dispersed and partially annihilated by our fire and bayonet charges. Towards morning the enemy began a retreat on certain prepared positions. During the day we took as prisoners about 100' officers and 5600 men, besides capturing several dozen machine guns. Brittania Mine Struck By Avalanche Over Fifty Killed and Many Injured Vancouver, March 24.���������A terrible calamity occurred on Sunday night at the Brittania mine located ten miles below Squam- ish, Howe Sound, the present southern terminus of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The mine, which is about forty-five hundred feet above sea level and reached by an aerial tramway extending about a mile and constructed in two sections mounted on strong poles, was struck by j an avalanche. The force of the avalanche coming down for thousands of feet and gaining ground every yard swept away these supports like so many straws, killing over fifty men and injuring--about''fifteen.

Pieces of old muslin blouses as. small as four inches square, ragged old handkerchiefs and table napkins. , Everything that can go through the washing machine will be of the greatest of value. To the devoted nurses and doctors, the tragedy of a shortage of bed linen, bandages and towels, must be terrible. This scarcity of everything that is needed for the sick and wounded must steadily increase, unless we, who are far from the horrors of the battle-front, realize to the full and give, until the passion of sacrifice rises to the height which is demanded by humani- tarism and imperial necessity.

SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915. The Victoria Colonist, owned by'"$45,000'; Matson, is not lacking in zeal in earning its annual thirty-five thousand dollars subsidy. In a recent issue it even 'attempted to show that in foist- 1 ing an election on the public at this inopportune time, Sir Richard placed himself in the class of Asquith and Sir. Edward Grey. In view of the fact that the tvyo eminent British statesmen invited the co-operation of their political opponents, the comparison would be insulting if it were not a trifle amusing. The Colonist used to have a fair circulation in Bella Coola Valley, but the people jiave become sick'of reading such piffle and now it would be difficult to find a home where the Colonist is admitted. Nor is it the only paper which persistently tries to gull the public by throwing dust in their eyes. We have previously referred to the 'Week' which simply exists for the purpose of presenting bouquets to Sir Richard, who is so enamoured of himself that he pays well for such flattery. The Colonist airs one opinion, held exclusively by itself and such papers as have for years been looking to the provincial treasury for their sustenance, but level-headed and honest Conservatives as well as Liberals hold an entirely different view. ��������� Mr. Charles M. Woodworth, former president of the Vancouver Conservative Association, speaking to a large gathering in the Orange Hall, West Point Grey, stated his opinion in the following terms : " It is a coward's choice to plunge the country into an election now.'.' Mr. Woodworth-deprecated the fact that he found it necessary to take the steps he proposes���������to stump the district against the government and therefore in the interests of the Liberal policies. He said, however, that though taking this stand, he was still the truer Conservative of the two men, he and his former political friend Sir Richard McBride. Compare these words with the vaporings of the Colonist. Mr. Woodworth said, "If the war is not ended by September when there are to be general elections in Great Britain, all parties will return the same government until the wsar does end. Men are dying on the battlefield that the I about an election. It deserves &i50" tne "cowaro. s deserts. The Agricultural Bill was described by this leading Conservative as nothing more than a bait to the voters, and Sir Richard vvas dabbed as the "friend of the Chinese." Mr. Woodworth has seen good cause to sever his connection with the party,,.not because" he is no longer a Cons'er-, vatiye but because he has become nauseated with the corrupt practices, the absolute inefficiency, and the wasteful extravagance of the McBride government. He sees, as every right-minded man must see, that we have come to a crisis, when party affiliations must be set aside in a combined effort to raise our province from bankruptcy, and ill-repute. The honor of the ..electorate of this province is at stake. It has been repeatedly impaired through the actions of members of our government and by the government as a whole. But the public conscience is awakened. Men of all political shades are becoming alive to .the seriousness of the situation and are demanding reforms. We in the North have suffered at the hands of so called representatives who have been mere puppets in the hands of Bowser and McBride. ; The people must govern. They must demand the restoration of their rights, which have been taken from them by a gradual process under the manipulation, of Mr. Bowser. Five years more of McBride rule and British Columbia will be an excellent place to live out of. telegrams. First, do these telegrams reaily exist? Probably the Colonist thinks so, but that is no evidence. Are they genuine or forged? We have heard of "forged telegrams being used to serve a purpose at just such a time as the present, and history might repeat itself. However, we will not press that point. But surely the Colonist might have added at least some hint of from whom these, telegrams were received.. Since such knowledge is so carefully kept from the public, we can "only make a guess, and in so doing may of course be entirely wrong. However, let us see just how near we can get. It is not hard to imagine that Sir Wm. Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann would be marines, previously condemned by the naval expert of the Chilean government; at $250,000 more than they would have been worth had they been-any good.' Then (this is not a guess but merely a* suggestion) King George himself might have felt it his bounden duty to congratulate our premier on this last noble effort to keep the Empire intact Now comes the question, how many of these telegrams were sent" by fair minded business men in British Columbia? How many came ,from the heads of the struggling industries, that are taxed ajmost out of existence? Were any'received from the white fisherman's organization who have to thank Sir Richard and his government for the CHICK STARTER CHICK FOOD CHICK DEVELOPER SCR A TCH FOOD SOLD BY LEADING DEALERS And by ALBERTA PACIFIC GRAIN COMPANY VANCOUVER, B.C. ���������;"A, P. Standard"���������We stand bach of every sack Who Sent the Telegrams? Evidently there has been an impression in the minds of some people in the east and in Great Britain, that Sir Richard might decide to retire from public life. This is the assumption offered by the Victoria Colonist, which "organ." repeatedly made mention among the first to express their] hordes of Japs with which they satisfaction in knowing , that their-dear friend, whom they have always found as clay in their hands, had decided to continue to serve them. Sir Richard has been the easiest snap imaginable for these men, and the idea of losing their "cinch" on the provincial treasury- would undoudtedly cause them grave anxiety. It is safe to say.they telegraphed congratulations to Sir Richard. What about the land sharks who owe the province $15,000,000 ? What soothing news this must have been to them.. ;What is theu'eost ?of~ a telegram when you are absolved from the necessity of paying your debts? Indeed these men would be ungrateful indeed did they not offer congratulations. The timber kings, might like to be polite as showing their appreciation of Sir Richard's untiring effort on their behalf. If they did not dig up a couple of dollars for telegrams they are certainly ungrateful wretches.

A descriptive series by our soldier correspondent, Jlrchie *D. ~ 'Darlington, late of Shushariie Bay, B. C. ' There is a military exodus to the south. The troops are moving in battalions and brigades to the coast, or to towns near the coast. The old camps, so full of life last summer and fall, have now vanished. Bustard, Bulford, Park House and Perham Downs are mere travesties of their former selves and undergoing transformation at the hands of the Royal Engineers in order to be soon ready for a new, blue- clad army from the north. And from over the channel British soldiers are pouring into France. A taciturn, cold-eyed, six-foot man in London writes a telegram, and thereafter many things happen.

As an example, there was one night in Basingstoke when the bugles sounded the unmistakeable notes of the alarm. The two little cinema shows were packed to the doors, and the night being fine, the soldiers were walking the streets, humanly strolling with bright-eyed Kate and Jane, or drinking sociable glasses of beer in snug hotel parlors, when distant but clear on the air the call came to us like Gabriel's trumpet! It came first from the Warwick's quarters and we laughed as they retreated to the purlieus. However, the call came again, nearer and in a deeper tone from the Gloucester billets, and before the echo had died away we manhandled a breathless drummer in the act of putting the bugle to his lips. "Double, youjam- wallahes! It's for the brigade!" he panted. The cinema shows opened the fire exits, and men from the parlors and the well-lit streets raced for their billets, thereupon to hurriedly piece together and don a complicated equipment, fill water bottles, seize rifles and dash away, sweating profusely, to the battalion rendezvous. Each man somehow stumbles onto first his company and then his platoon. The roll called, they are numbered off in whispers and slope arms quietly and with precision. One officer enjoins silence.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. npHE REASONS for this en viable, con di- ���������*��������� 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 ; long 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 Goola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes. OELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Coast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola.

Some hazarded a guess of a sudden order to France, others ventured an east coast landing, a "'"further Zeppelin raid, and a few wiseacres said it was only a test. At any rate, they knew as much as ourselves,' and our knowledge equalled that of Mick, the regimental dog, who in turn', and at least as regarded the .business toward, was as well informed as the colonel. One could scarce help picturing a similar scene in Flanders���������an old-world burg, a few aged people, women with the anguish of separation, the fear of the unknown writ on their faces, and a tonsured priest���������standing together in the deep black shadow of some ancient Halle, listening to the roar of the great guns.

Down the London Road they go and onto the common, where many sightseers are gathered, evidently impressed by it all. As the Old Regiment comes to its place one can perceive three blurred masses on the skyline; three battalions drawn up in mass, which, when we the fourth are in place, makes a rough aggregate of five thousand men. O', for the glare of a searchlight! That is all! Although the ammunition has been drawn'and the transports are in complete readiness, there is nothing more save an inspection. Some men are censured because there is no water in their bottles, others because a small partof their equipment is missing. Then, following a short lecture on always being ready, we are marched back and-dismissed. Since the call sounded, just an hour and a quarter has elapsed; yet in that interval of time a bingade has foregathered with all essentialsand marched away.
