Allied lines around Ypres where the greater part of the British forces are entrenched are bearing brunt of violent German attacks. British won brilliant success at Bixschoote, between Ypres and Dixmunde. Germans are no nearer gaining French ports than they were six weeks ago. British won success by strategy. They pretended to be broken and Germans came through only to find themselves almost surrounded, and were compelled to retire with heavy loss. Germans continue to bring up reinforcements around Ypres, mostly raw recruits. Allies continue to hold Ypres. onday. No German column has been allowed within two miles of Zeebrugge for the last fortnight. It is known that the Germans have big engineering works in progress. Entire coast from Knocke to Nieuport is dotted with heavy gun positions, with theobjectof making effective response to British warships. This is said to be the first step in execution of a great scheme of fortifying the coast in preparation for an attack on England. Chilean papers reaching Lima, Peru, say Chile is determined to stop German breaches of neutrality, even at the cost of war. Germans said to be maintaining a naval station out from Valparaiso where coal and provisions are stored. Despatch from Ottawa says, militia department this morning sent out a general order to officers commanding the various military districts, to prepare to carry on recruiting on a large scale. The force under arms in Canada is to be increased to 58,000, while the Dominion's contribution to the army at the '���������* iront will be increased to 108,000 men. Tuesday. Reports from Petrograd say the advance of Von Hin- denburg's army on Warsaw has been checked, also that a vic- ������ v^^ry;.;has'^e'en%'i^in^d^tr:Kutmorby-the Russians who took 12,000 f-prisoners, A new Russian army has reached the battle line. 1 ~ Conflicting reports reach New York concerning the fate of the German torpedo boat destroyer S-124, which was in collision on Sunday with the steamer Anglo-Dane in the Baltic Sea. One report says other torpedo boats attempted to tow her to Sweden, but there is no news'of her arrival. Other reports say that she sank immediately after collision. Admiralty announces that German submarine U-18, which was reported off the north coast of Scotland was rammed and sunk by a British patrol vessel. Three officers and twenty-three men of submarine's crew were rescued by the British desiroyer Garry. A despatch to London Times from Petrograd says reported Russian victory between Vistula and Warthe rivers has been confirmed by private advices. Large bodies of the enemy were surrounded and captured. It is expected, however, that Gen. Von Hindenberg who has been reinforced by new reserve corps will attempt an offensive at another point on the Polish border. Vednesday. British admiralty announces that all points of military significance in the vicinity of Zeebrugge were subjected to severe bombardment yesterday, the British ships retiring undamaged. Germany's scheme to establish a naval base on Bel- fclajlii g'an coast *s tnus tnwartea\ Zeebrugge is in flames. Solvay U^&1> works near Bruges canal are mass of ruins and sections of six submarines are reduced to twisted iron. Military train was blown to fragments, large crane for putting submarines together simply disappeared. Germans tried to remove stores including material for Zeppelins but found sections of railway destroyed. Petrograd correspondent says, in neighborhood of Brzezing, in Poland, Germans made a supreme effort and actually succeeded in temporarily breaking Russian defense and getting to rear of Russian positions, Germans, however, did not fully realize the chance and Russians countered by piercing German lines at another point, compelling Germans to withdraw with loss of whole battery of heavy artillery and two regiments taken prisoners. London despatch says, Allies now being attacked in force Ypres to Labasse. Terrific battle now in progress. Germans hive heavy reinforcements and fresh guns for this renewal of effort to cut their way through. hursday. London Morning Post correspondent says, a whole German army corps, over 40,000 men with munitions complete, has been captured. He believes when official details are forthcoming it will be found that at least two army corps have been captured. The correspondent adds, large number of German reinforcements from Wielun, with which it was intended to envelop Russian left flank, arrived only in time, to support retreat of whole German right wing. German left resting on river Vistula appears to be holding its position, but defeat of right wing must compel retreat of left wing also. Forty-eight trains have, been despatched from Warsaw to bring in the prisoners and wounded. Despatch from Warsaw says: Long columns of German prison- ������ v* e'S aiC!

Be- I Ocean Falls Company Is Reorganized Paper-Making Plant to Be Erected Vancouver, Nov. 24.-The big. pulp-making and lumber plant oi the Ocean Falls Company at Ocean Falls, B. C, 300 miles up the coast from Vancouver, is likely to resume operations again soon, under the management of Messrs. Fleishhacker and Johnston of San Francisco, who control a number of pulp and paper mills on the Pacific coast. Messrs. Fleishhacker and Johnston, who recently acquired the plant, pulp leases and other assets of the company by purchase from the recsiver, have formed a company called "Pacific Mills Limited," with a share capital of $9,500,000, to acquire and operate the concern. The company has been incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, with head offices in Vancouver. After the incorporation preliminaries are completed the question of recommencing operations will be considered. It is stated that a paper-making plant will be added to the existing plant, and most of the pulp produced turned into paper. Russians Continue Victorious Austrians Suffer Defeat With Heavy Loss New Zealand's Offei London, Nov. 24.���������Hon. Hugh MacKenzie, high commissioner for New Zealand, says his Dominion is prepared to send 50,- 000 soldiers. If Great Britain had had half a million men ready for service on the continent, he said, this disastrous war would never have happened. Rebel DeWet's Force Reduced to Twenty-Five London, Nov. 26.���������A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company from Pretoria says: "It is officially announced that r Gen. DeWet's rapidly dwindling rebel command became surrounded by loyal forces in the vicinity of Boshof, on the Vaal river. I i General DeWet succeeded in es- j caping with 25 men. The remainder of his force surrendered. Dr. Roche Will Not Resign Ottawa, Nov. 26.���������Repeated reports of the resignation of Hon. W. J. Roche are without foundation as Dr. Roche will return to Ottawa soon to take up the administration of his department. London, Nov. 27.���������The Petrograd correspondent of the Times sums up recent fighting in Russian Poland as follows: One group of Russian forces fetters an Aus- tro-German force on Ezenstocho, Cracow front, and has inflicted heavy blows, capturing many guns and prisoners. Apparently, at Willua, another group of Russian forces are holding a German column which is.endeavoring to get to the rescue of the German forces at Plock. The main Russian army is exclusively engaged against Plock where the German front is cut in half. The right wing is surrounded.from all sides and is striving vainly to break through and connect the left wing, which in turn is also battling unsuccessfully. A despatch published in Rome says in the retirement from Poland the Germans lost one-fourth of their effective forces. All communications between the Austrians and German armies is declared to have been definitely severed and the Russians are marching" on Breslau, Posion and Thorne with great rapidity; the despatch also says the Austro-: German defeat is assuming col- lossal proportions and will undoubtedly prove decisive. A late official communication from Petrograd states that in the battle of Lodz, which continues to develop to advantage of the Russians, the Germans are making strenuous efforts to facilitate the retreat of their corps which, having penetrated in direction of Brezzeing, are now retiring to region of Steykow under conditions most unfavorable to them. On Austrian front the Russian forces continue successful. In fighting on Wednesday the Austrians lost 8000 prisoners including two regiments with their commanders. Messrs. P.

They were fortunate in being able to be in Christiania during the celebration of the Norwegian Centenary. Returning, they left Bergen, Norway, on the 3rd October by the Norwegian-American liner Bergensfjord arriving at New York October 12th. This line of steamers are now giving the North Sea a wide berth, taking a course north of the Shetland Islands and passing close to Sudero, the southernmost island of the Faroe group. Excellent weather was experienced on the voyage home, which made the trip extremely enjoyable. Speaking of conditions in Norway, these gentlemen say that considerable excitement prevailed at the time of the outbreak of war, but that things soon became settled and are now practically normal.

The source of the explosion appeared to be he- hind the German lines. It later developed that a British naval aviator had dropped a bomb squarely on to a German amuni- tion train, horses, wagons, and large quantity of ammunition were blown to atoms.

This afternoon and evening the Bella Coola Ladies Aid will hold a sale of cotton goods at the Mackenzie School. A musical program and lunch will be furnished. The proceeds are to be put to the church building fund, and it is hoped the effort will meet with the generous support of the people of the valley. The regular meeting of the W. C. T.

British Columbia's Gift. With the receipt at this office of a specimen of the label which is being used to cover .the cans containing British Columbia's gift of- salmon to the Mother Country, comes a feeling of deep disappointment, and even resentment. Hundreds of thousands of the "flower of the Empire's manhood" are freely serving their king. These men are giving their best. They are making the supreme sacrifice. Surely there is no greater loyalty than that a man should lay down his life for his country. The debt of gratitude which we owe to our soldiers and those.of our allies is beyond recompense. They are doing their duty. The call has been to the Empire's best, and the best has responded. The best we can do to assist in the maintenance of our brave armies in the field, and towards the sustenance of those on whom the greatest burden of the war is falling is little enough. British Columbia chose as her gift canned salmon. Our coastal waters abound:wich salmon of various kinds, varying in quality as in appearance. The best quality salmon is the sockeye. This is the variety which when canned commands the highest price. It has been found practically impossible to dispose of any other variety in the Old, Country markets. Then there are the admittedly inferior grades. The humpback and dog salmon,: which is hardly marketable in Great Britain. These varieties are easily distinguished in the can, the flesh being a light pink color (almost white) as against the bright rich red of the sockeye. It is cheaper because it is recognized as inferior to the sockeye. Yet this is the kind of salmon the provincial government has chosen to send as a gift to the Mother Country for the use of the British troops. The label we have before us .bears the significant inscription "Best Pink Salmon" and also contains the explanatory (and apologetic) note that "When opened the salmon will prove light pink (almost white) in color, its quality is warranted by the B.C. government." To anyone who knows anything about B. C. salmon it is clear that our government has not given the best, but a cheap and inferior grade of salmon. That is obvious, according to their own labels on the cans. We say again, it is with a feeling of deep disappointment that we learn of the value our government puts on the services rendered by our gallant soldiers. Nothing but the very best is good enough. That is our opinion. We-do not know that any of the. other provinces gave second or third quality oats, wheat, flour or cheese, as the case may be, and we dont believe such to have been the case. But our own government boldly announces the poor quality of*their gift, and are not ashamed. In this matter we are not impelled by any other motive than that we consider that our government has insulted us. Knowing that Sir Richard has always an eye to business, it might have been expected that he would recognize what a world-wide advertisement the gift of salmon would be for the province. The people into whose hands these cans fall will naturally believe that British Columbia gave of her best. They will naturally judge all B. C. Salmon by the sample sent ���������hem at this time. We are indeed ashamed. o o o o o There Must Be a Change, and That Soon. Major-General Sir William Ot- ter, in his message to the Canadian people said: "Above all, measures should be taken to stimulate the production of food- stuffs. One of the greatest services which the Canadian people can render to the empire at the present is to increase our supply of. food for the British people. This is at once our duty and opportunity." British Columbia today, cannot take her rightful place as an im portant part of the Empire. We are importing more and more foodstuffs which ought to be produced in the province, and the reason is that the McBride government has faiied to recognize its duty to the people of the province. We lack a proper land- settlement policy. There are many men tramping the streets of our cities, who would, if they onlycould, be only too glad to settle on the land and become producers, but they have not the means. ���������,'-.���������-��������� The governnient has deliberately brought, on a condition which makes it impossible for a man with little or no means to settle on the land. How have they clone this? They have allowed' certain individuals and syndicates to illegally acquire millions of acres of the choicest and most easily accessible land for purposes of speculation. This land is being held at a price which prohibits the actual settler of small means from acquiring it. If he requires land he is forced by the government to go away back, .far from a market, with no means of transportation. He must deny himself and his family every reasonable comfort, and must be prepared for a life of isolation and poverty. That there are many people in our cities who would go ''back to the land" if it were possible, is proven by those men who have waited for weeks on the courthouse steps in order to file on small tracts of desirable land. One man writing to a contemporary said recently "I expected to get land here but found that the money sharks had bought the land at a small price and then raised it to such a price that no man of farming experience would think of trying to farm it. He would end up in debt with nothing for his labor." This man is an Ontario farmer with three grown-up sons. They are denied the right of taking up land and becoming producers, and are forced to live in the city as consumers. This is what the McBride government has been doing for years. They have driven colonies of excellent settlers off the land and out of the province by their refusal to grant reasonable assist ance. Witness the colony, o Danes which settled at Cape Scott years ago. This colony flourished for awhile, until driven away through the refusal of the goverment to provide reasonable transport facilities. This is a serious matter and should command the attention of all thinking men in the province regardless of their political leanings. It is not only the Liberal party who see the dangerous path the government is treading. Boards of .trade, and other non- political bodies have for long been advocating the adoption of a land settlement policy on broad lines. It is said with truth that we are laggarcls in the greatest movement of the day, the back to the land movement. The condition to which this province has been brought through the indifference of the government to the needs of the actual settler is deplorable, and will stand as a monument to the inefficiency and incapability of the McBride administration. o o o ��������� o ��������� o .- The Vancouver Sun has taken up the cudgels ori behalf of all men in the province who really want to settle on the land. A "Back to the Land" Association has been formed, and aiready many men have sent their names to the editor of the above named journal for enrolment as members of the association. The idea is that all men desirous of settling on the land should organize that they may bring some definite proposal before the government. If you want to get back to the land send in your name to the editor of the Vancouver Sun, and help in the fight for a change of policy. .'���������;:���������������������������������������������'��������� ��������� ������������������' e> o o o o An Ardent Wooer. It is interesting to witness the wooing of Norway by Germany. The Chistiania "Morgenblad" in a recent issue publishes a long article by Professor Dr. Juris Karl Lehman of Gottenberg, in which the writer makes a touching bid for the sympathies of Scandinavia in general and Norway in particular. It commences with the statement that the war has been forced on a harmless and peace- The Bank of British North America Savings Accounts opened for amounts of $1 and upwards, and may !,e . opened in two names-so that l/epartrnent either or survivor may with- draw the amount.

This, we may admit to be true, \vith the sing\e proviso; namely,? that the war was forced on Germany, not by the wicked machinations of other .powers, but by the uncontrollable pressure of her own vast military machine. We may never learn whose hands were, at the moment, on the throttle. The boastful admittance to having manipulated an Ems telegram followed a successful war. After an unsuccessful war the authors of analogous maneuvers are willing enough to "let sleeping dogs lie." Nevertheless, the truth has a way of leaking out, and one day Norway and the rest of the world may come to read the whole truth of Austria's ultimatum to Servia. In the meantime there is evidence sufficient to satisfy anyone outside of Germany that the war was willed in Berlin. The professor says: "For only one of our opponents, France, is this a life and death struggle and with France we went to war most unwillingly. To the very last the German government wished to avert the extremity. But the unnatural trio, England, Russia and Japan, were driversi to war by motives which leav; our people cold and indiiTtrenj ���������commercial interests and mill tary ambition."

Whence comes the amazing delusion that identifies German culture with Kaiserism and Kruppism? Finally, the professor makes a spirited play with the Russian scare, and depicts a dismal picture of a conquered and Russianized Norway. He adduces no proof that Russia contemplates any such outrage, and again he forgets that, by Treaty of 1907, Britain and France are pledged, along with Germany and Russia, to maintain the independence and integrity of Norway. He forgets that the Allies are today fighting for the sanctity of Treaty obligations,: callously overridden by Germany. He forgets that the victory of Germany would put Denmark at her mercy and transform the Baltic into a German lake. Even if she did not actually swallow up Denmark, it is certain that among the spoils of victory she would exact from Russia the cession of Aland Islands, stretching across the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia. Russia is debarred, by Treaty with Britain and France, from fortifying these islands; but there is no treaty to prevent Germany from doing so, nor would it matter if there were. She would obtain command of the Upper Baltic, and Sweden at anyrate, could no longer call her soul her own. ,A German victory, in fact, would reduce all Scandinavia to a state of vassalage to Germany, and it is hard to imagine that even the eloquence of Professor Lehmann can render such a prospect alluring to Norway. /'fejf-^c?-^ SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS COAl.

There are still a few Americans who do not understand why Canadians went to South Africa, and are now going to Europe to "fight for England." The New York Herald answers the query of these few persons as we would have answered had the question been directed to us: "A reader of the Herald asks if it is not queer that the peoples of India, Australia, Canada, and South Africa are fighting for England and the English. "They are not fighting for England or the English. They j are fighting for the British Em-; pire, in which they feel they1 have just as deep an interest as the English have. "Of the significant developments of this great war this is by no means the least. If Canadians, Australians, Africans and Indians regarded themselves as conquered by or mere appendages to England they would not be fighting at all." Canada, as we have before said, is in this war not merely coming to the assistance of the Mother Country, but fighting for its own existence. Geofi'Tiky K. IU'knett IJ. J. McOijoan O.K., U.c:.I,.H..

C. 1 c 1 [ \kTHAT person so happy and contented as the prosperous farmer? \ATHAT person so independent? \\JHAT ambition more noble than to be a producer of the necessaries of life? Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. THE REASONS for this enviable condi- dition of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and n^eds 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 Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes.
