The day has been relatively calm, with no modification in situation. We have retained all ground which we gained in the last few days. In Champagne, Germans took from us ir, the region of Beausejour 30C metres of advanced trenches. We have retaken half of them. In Argonne, near Marie Therese, an attack attempted by Germans was immediately checked by us. At Les Esparges enemy has bombarded but delivered no further attack?. Same thing has occurred at Hartmann's Weilerkopf, Germans directing an intense fire against the summit but made no attack. On April 27 our aviators launched 32 shells on station at Bollweiler (seven**miles north- west of Mulhausen), and sixty shells on station at Chambley where they set fire to a depot of munitions. Station of Armaulle on Lorraine frontier, and junction of railways of Chambley and Thiaucourt have'been bombarded at night. On April 28 one of our aeroplanes dropped six projectiles on hangars of dirigibles at Friedrichshafen, the aviator observed clouds of smoke rising from the roofs of one hangar. Twentyone shells have been dropped on station, the bridges, and a factory at Leopoldsche, Baden. During this bombardment one of our aeroplanes fell within the German lines. During the day, four German aeroplanes were pursued and reached by our aviators. One being well ablaze fell within the lines of the enemy nearBremont. Two others came to earth near our trenches, one in Champagne and the other in region of Amore, and were destroyed by our artillery. The fourth fell well within our lines at Muizon, west of Rheims, two German aviators who were not wounded were taken prisoners. Jottings of Bella Coola and District The S. S."Cam������sun arrived 'in port Sunday, forenoon and remained until 4 p. m. The usual amount of freight was landed and among the passengers we noticed Mr. E. R. A. Russell, of the Bank of B. N. A., and his mother Mrs. Russell ; Mrs. B. Brynildsen, her son Alger and daughter Grace; Mr. G. B. Oleson of Hagensborg, and Mr. T. G. Garrett, representing Gault Bros, of Vancouver. 0 Mr. Russell will spend two weeks of his vacation with friends gained during his stay here as an official in the local branch of the Bank of B> N. A. He and his mother who accompanies him are stopping at Mrs. Clayton's. Mrs. Brynildsen returned after a protracted visit to Vancouver and New Westminster. After frequenting the Colum- Coola, but at the call to arms they dropped everything and hastened to offer their services. AH three are now with the colors. We learn it is the intention of the Union Steamship Co. of B. C. during the continuance of the Exosition, to engage the Camosun in making regular runs to San Francisco, commencing in the month of June. , A valuable fox was lost a short time ago from the fox farm located here; efforts are being made to trap it, as some of the boys saw it close to the town during the last week. The many friends of Mr. Frank G. Andreae, for a long time engaged at Ocean Falls will be interested to learn that he is ren- denng distinguished service in the war.

Tucker, the Indian constable, left last Monday morning for Anaham Lake to investigate an epidemic said to be carrying off the children of the Indians located in the country surrounding the lake. The Mission Church proved to be an all day attraction to the Indians last Sunday. The signing of the temperance pledge recorded in the Courier last week was continued. The service became impressive when among a number of others, noted characters as Humpback Tommy, Charlie Goose and old Doctor Aleck came forward, signed the pledge and were prayed with by the missionary and Rev. T. C. Colwell, who took part in the afternoon service. The total number of Indians who have signed the pledge within the two weeks are 116 adults arid about 30 children. reached Bella Coola. Almost everybody seem to take a friendly interest in this cause, which a few years ago was considered an outworn fad. The meeting was presided over by Mr. O. C. Olson the president of the society, and Mr. Hjalmar Schu'lstad held the position of secretary, and therefore wielded the pencil on the occasion. The audience opened the program by singing a- rousing temperance song to the tune of ."Marching through Georgia." Then the Bella Coola String Band and Choir came forth and rendered very creditably a selection, after which speeches, singing and music came in succession, and a long one at that. The meeting lasted for more than two hours and everybody enjoyed it. The society numbers about 80 members and new ones are being added at all the,meetings which are being held once every month. It was decided to suspend the meetings during the summer months, as nearly all the young men will be out fishing. In the evening almost the same number of people gathered again, this time to attend the organization of a Young People's Missionary Society. Before the organization, the meeting was presided over by the Rev. H. Sageng, who explained the object of the proposed organization and read a. draft of a constitution. The constitution was adopted, twenty members were enrolled and then the following were elected officers of the society: Rev. H. Sageng, president; Mr. Hjalmar Schulstad, vice-president; Miss Gertrude Fredland, secretary ; and Mr. Theodore Livelton, treasurer. A short speech was then made and the meeting closed at 10 o'clock, and Come and look them over and lrx> j a very strenuous Sunday was at | them on before deciding to buy elsewhere, j an en^ wjth n0 headache in the We also trim and furnish trimming | morning after the night before. for hats at reasonable rates. j J^adies of Bella Coola Galley are most cordially invited to inspect our stock of Ladies' and Children's SUMMER HATS.

Mr\ Olsen has spent about two months in California, during which time he visited the Panama Exposition at San Francisco. The captain and other officers of the Camosun availed themselves of the steamer's long stay at the wharf to make a trip some distance up the valley. A very pretty wedding took place at the Mission Church last Sunday when Eliza Mack was married to Samuel Moody. The Indians had shown considerable taste in the decoration of the church with wild flowers for the occasion. .Local readers will be interested to hear .that Robert Lowe, who for a number of years has been surveying in this district, has received a commission in the Scottish Horse, a regiment raised by Lord Tullibardine.

SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1915. . - ��������� I " Sir Richard's Mistake. In our last issue we tried to show the necessity of a fairly . strong1 opposition in .- passing- sound legislation. The McBride Government, in its campaign before the last election made such a strong fight that all its Liberal opponents were defeated. It seemed from the result of that election, that Sir Richard js not a believer in the need and usefulness of criticism. In that campaign his popularity was at its height,, the people had such confidence in his ability, as an administrator of the affairs of the province that he could 'have been re-elected upon almost i any. policy he would have seen fit to set forth, and no one. was better aware of that than Sir Richard himself. He .stated, during this campaign, that there was no electoral district in the province he.could not carry, and he did carry all but two, where Socialists won. In attaining this result he used his genius as a campaigner, the great prestige, power, and apparent success of his administration with unrelent- " ing vigor. : We cannot believe that in his effort to stifle all opposition, he was promted by a wicked desire to pass injurious legislation or conduct an' administration corrupt in its practises. Let us rather believe it was* done to show an admiring world that here was a man, with an extraordinary ability and popularity- a man who, when opportunity offered, could swing any undertaking into a g'reat success. But his unmeasured ambition was hisundoing. . When at the height of his popularity, he made the great mistake of his public career. In our opinion he should have offered no opposition to Mr. Brewster, the leader of the Opposition. He should have welcomed, the election of Mr. John Oliver and a few other Liberals. H.e should have in some way made known to the voters in the districts where such Liberals were candidates, that by electing ��������� these opposition members they should not suffer in the bestowal of favors by the Government. But instead of doing this he made specially great efforts to defeat the stronger Liberal candidates, as for instance in the case of the leader of the Opposition. Later, at the by-election held in the Islands district, there was an opportunity to get a Liberal opponent elected, but Sir Richard saw no need of criticism and, therefore, in order to defeat the Liberal candidate the best campaign orators of the administration was employed-, large amounts of money were expended for public works, to placate the public ; with the result that the opposition candidate,was defeated. We are.no prophets, but we believe that Sir Richard McBride, who, was at one time in a fair way of obtaining the highest position within the gift of the people of this great Dominion, has reached the point where is star is now declining. His great success carried him away, he lost his balance and failed to avail himself of his opportunity to remain the leader of this great province and, very likely, eventually to become the'premierof the Dominion. GIL LETT'S LYE EATS DIRT" themselves of above charges they would be" more useful to the nation. The Socialist Members. J We would not intentionally belittle the opposition offered to the Government by the -two Socialist members of the Legislature. It has- been conducted with signal abilit}', and Mr. Parker Williams, the leader, should be commended for the manner in which it has been done. But the Courier is not a.Social- istic paper and must therefore be pardoned for holding the opinion that for several reasons the opposition of the Socialist members is not sufficient to hold' the corrupt element of-the party in power in check. They are too few in numbers, they ' have not. the substantial backing the other two leading parties enjoy; they pre-eminently, represent a class rather than a composite body of the people and, therefore, -do not possess the weight and influence necessary. Then again, people at large are apt to accuse Socialists of holding extreme views, defending, strikes and subsequent riots, having disrespect for the christian religion and sympathizing with the views and practises of the I. W.'W. If the Socialists could free Signs of Peace. As the war is dragging its weary, gruesome way from week to week, we are anxiously scanning the news coming to our office for any indications of the end drawing near. Astherecan be no hope of lasting peace unless Germany's military spirit and ambition is brought low, we look towards Germany for the signs of a desire for peace. Last week we published some extracts from a very prominent German newspaper . confessing that victory against the ..great odds which their country was fighting was well nigh hopeless. This time we quote from the Province of Vancouver, some, more extracts from another German newspaper, the Berlin Tag: ' 'We have been deceived in all our calculations. "We expected that .the whole of India would revolt at the first sound of guns in Europe, but, lo! thousands and tens of thousands of Indians are now fighting' with the .English against us. "We expected that the British. Empire would crumble to pieces, but the British colonies, have united, as they have never done before, with the mother country. was degenerate ond incapable of being a serious factor in the war, and she shows herself to be our most dangerous enemy. "It was the same thing with France and Russia. We thought that France was corrupt, and that she had lost the sense of national solidarity, but we now learn that the French are formidable adversaries. "We thought that Russia>could do nothing; we believed that her people wejrc too profoundly discontented to fight in favor of the Russian Government; we counted on its rapid .collapse as a great military power, but Russia has mobilized her millions of men very rapidly and very well. Her people are-full of enthusiasm and her force is crushing. "Those who-ha^ve-led us into all these faults, aft.these calculations, all these mistakes about our neighbors:! and their affairs, have assumed a,heavy burden of responsibility." Other signs-are becoming numerous. "Feelers" from German and Austrian sources are being sent out to ascertain on what terms peace can be obtained; These countries are already willing to make some concessions, but not nearly as far reaching as the Allies will demand. A peace-conference attended by some of the greatest statesmen of'the countries at war is said to have been held at Rome, but with what result is kept strictly secret. For Results Use a P.

The battlefields of Ypres where we lost so "heavily (and gained so much) will be revenged very shortly. I saw a pretty fight in the air two or three days ago. A German aeroplane and two of ours fighting, one soaring above the other trying to gain an advantage, when suddenly the German canted sideways and then nose first took a dip for mother earth, you can guess the rest. Our airmen and the French are very clever. It seems to me that the Germans are not in it with the British in every branch of warfare, (a great surprise to me.) In the last big fight, our artillery turned some of the GeV- mans crazy, the shooting by our guns being very terrible and accurate, the number killed cannot be exaggerated, it was terrible; they threw down their arms and implored for mercy. They did not show any mercy to our men at Ypres when they bayoneted our wounded, as, they retreated. Enough said ! The prisoners were from boys of 1.5 to men 55 years of age. They were in a poor emaciated condition and yellow looking from the effects of our shell fire. They told one of our interpreters that the shell tire was "Hell". Some of these men went crazy from the effects. Well, L don't know -whether this letter, will pass or not, but if I cannot send you a little news it Ms not worth writing at all. We have almost the best troops in France and whatever is said in their praise they have earned it; they are steady in the trenches, good shots, and very aggressive. We are all in good trim, and our casualty list very small considering everything. No. 48027, P. J. Kenyon, 1st Canadian Contingent. (Head-quarter staff.)

Bella Coola farmers are independent] they are strangers to hard times. HTHE REASONS for this enviable condi- ���������*��������� 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 pro-' duce from Bella Coola 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!

ADVERTISERS- Now is the time to keep your name before the public. "No manufacturer or wholesalehbuse can afford to let slip the opportunity of increased sales that public advertising brings. rV'EAL ESTATE' booms in the - cities have come and gone. People are beginning to flock to the country. . The North-West- Coast of British Columbia offers opportunities for all. Did not know- is no excuse. Investors should keep posted on developments by reading the "Courier." You are judged by the stationery that you use. Let us do your job printing. We will do it right. Salisbury is coming to life! The sleepy, ecclesiastical serenity of the cathedral city is stirring itself. The inhabitants are rubbing their eyes; "getting a move on," as the popular jargon expresses it. They are finding that, after all, the "rustic murmur of their burgh is not the great wave that echoes round the world," and are asking each other what this new feeling of life and activity in which, 1 iIre a wave come washing in from the great world beyond the precints of their cathedral close, bringing in its train a freshness and vivacity ��������� almost sacrilegious. The answer is, "The Canadians have arrived ! "' The flower ol the manhood of the West has come, accompanied by that brilliant, bubbling, pulsating life, with the smell.of the good brown, earth of thepraries'and ranches, or the scent of the pine covered Rockies, and of the fruit ladened orchards of the Eastern plains. Here they are, the men with the well-knit,.finely braced physical frames, at once our admiration and envy, with that freedom from restraint which makes-them so engaging, but also with- that quiet decorum which keeps you on your guard all the time, lest one loose phrase or suggestion should banish .for ever that esteem which you fain would win. In a moment you are proud of them. The camps lie 14 miles across the Plain as the crow flies from Salisbury to Devizes. To get to them is your main difficulty. On the'visiting-days.you will find that the owners of the limited supply of motorcars in Salisbury require high prices for the trip. But if you are lucky enough to get away Mr; a fast travelling car, you- wilt accomplish the journey in 40 minutes. The car darts past stray knots of soldiers outward or homeward bound. Here a cavalryman is giving his horse an exercise. There alum- bering transport wagon wends its heavy way towards the camps. But at last in the distance the white tents appear. They are pitched on either side of the road; and as your car passes along, a hundred manly forms line the edge of the turf arid watch your progress, not. 'with inquisitive stare, but with a quiet self-reliance which at once brings you up against their chief character- D istic. When you alight, you are for the moment the "centi-al object of attention. You accost the nearest indi-vidual with, "could a you tell me how to find D Company, 16th Battalion*?'' At once you have placed yourself right with him. To be of service to you was just what he wanted. "16th Battalion? Well, Iguess you can't be' very far away, because (pointing to a camp indicator) these are the lines of the 14th, and they run in that direction. The 16th must be farther along. Anyway, come along, and we'll see." You proceed, and the stalwart figure of your guide goes leisurely forward. You venture on the remark that you are glad to see such a fine turnout of men. "Well, yes, and we are mighty pleased to be here, lean tell you. The only trouble is that we don't want to be sticking around this Plain too long." ��������� "You want to go to the front." "I should say we do. That's what we've come for, and the sooner we get there the better we shall like it." We pass the indicator of the 14th Battalion. "These are the lines of the 14th and the 15th is next. So you'll and the 16th just beyond." You thank him and proceed; but at the end of the 15th the lines suddenly cease; there is no 16th ! ��������� A sentry is on duty here, and as he happens to be the only man nearby, you make up your mind to enquire of him. It is with some hesitancy that you approach him, as you are not quite sure whether he ought to VANCOUVER LAND DISTRICT DISTBICT OF COAST���������BAJJGE HI. TaKe Notice that Oliver T.

On the other side of the road" (pointing in an opposite direction) "just opposite to where the band is playing."^ The soldier continues his sentry-go, you retrace your steps,, cross the road and make your enquiries again off a group of fellows. One of them immediately'detaches himself and voluntarily places himself at your service. You are_ informed that these are the; lines of the 16th, but you unconsciously ask yourself how you are to pick out the right tent from the rows that confront you. The dilemma is immediately anticipated, and your guide comes to your rescue with, "Come right along, and we'll go to the sergeant's quarters. What's the name of your friend?" With that he pulls back the opening of the tent, pokes his head in and makes the enquiry. A man is. told off to search through the tents until the friend is found.
