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.  Mr. Ivor Westmo, who also  left for Norway last fall, will  remain there during this winter,  returning to Bella Coola in the  spring.  and liked by both Indians and  whites, because of his quiet disposition and good behaviour, and  it is felt that clemency might  weil be exercised in his case.

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. The^avi-  tor flew awav to safety.  stay he supervised the commence  ment of the work of repairing  the wharf, and arranged for an  inspection uf the Necleetsconnay  river with a view to determining  the nature and extent of the  work necessary to prevent a recurrence of last Tuesday fs flood.

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.

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.

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.
