Walker, late of Hagensborg, giving an account of her brother's death at the front. It will be remembered that Lieut. Bryan Townsley was visiting his siter at her home at Hagensborg on the outbreak of hostilities, Leaving here he joined the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders, for "over-seas service. He saw service in Egypt and then tranferred to the . 12th West Yorkshire Regiment,'where he gained his commission. c His regiment went to France and had only been in the trenches two weeks when he met his death while gallantly leading his men to success. Mrs. Walker's husband, after their arrival in England, joined the colors and gained a commission. He is now at the front. bia, if not in all Canada. This prospect was first located some twenty years ago and has changed hands many times. At one time it . was worked and owned by Mr. James Findlay, ex-mayor of Vancouver. The present company have made large improvements on ��������� the property which speaks well for the faith that they have in its immediate future. Indian-agent Iver Fougner, accompanied by Rev. W. H.

Seattle, who for the past week has been looking over mining properties around Bella Coola left for Vancouver, Monday. Mr. Drange is really the first mining man that has taken the pains necessary to look over this section of British Columbia with a view of. ascertaining the mining possibilities of this particular locality. The Tacoma smelte;* is in need of ore for fluxing purposes and according to Mr. Drange this community will be able to produce just what is required in that class of ore. He expressed a hope that' something, might be done in the mining line here in the early spring. Lance-Corporal Fred C, Grant was wounded on the 6th of October and is now at the Third Stationary Hospital, Boulogne. ��������� Such was the sad news received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Le C. Grant on Wednesday last. On the outbreak of the war Fred was amongst the first to offer himself for foreign service from Bella Coola and has been in the thick of the.fighting right along, having been fortunate to escape injury up to this. The Courier joins with his many friends in wishinghim a speedy recovery and extends to I F. G. Hagan met with an accident last Wednesday with the result that he is now under the doctor's care. While squaring a piece of timber for a building in the course of construction on his ranch in Saloomt valley, the axe slipped and in so doing entered the leg a little below the knee cap. , Mr. Hagan had a very narrow escape last spring, while on a hunting trip the gun he was carrying by some misfortune emptied itself, the ball doing considerable damage to some of his ribs. It is hoped that this last experience will not be any more serious than the first and Mr. Hagan's many friends wiil be able to see hi-m around again in a short time. The lectures delivered by Mr. J. G. Walker in;the Mackenzie school during the week were well attended and very much appreciated. The subjects were masterly handled by the speaker and showed that a great deal of study has been devoted to them, bearing as they. did. on both ancient and,modern history. \ "THE NEAR EASTERN QUESTION" IS THE SUBJECT FOR TONIGHT The near Eastern Question will be dealt with by Mr. Walker at the meeting this evening and no one should miss the opportunity of hearing this great question discussed. J. R. Morrison, John Nelson, William Nelson and others making up the crew building a section of the main line of the proposed wagon road from Bella Coola, to Chilanco Forks, have quit work and returned to town. The work done this year is claimed to be the heaviest on the whole stretch of the road between salt water and Atnarko, a distance of sixty miles. An exchange gives this on the political situation at^ Victoria. After election the premier elect, H. C. Brewster, took himself to his salmon cannery on the west- coast of Vancouver Island, and ever since party followers have been busy at street corn ers selecting a cabinet for him. Among the most prominent mentioned are John Oliver of Dewdney, Dr. J. H. King, Granbi'ook, and T. D. Pattullo, Prince Rupert, who are regarded as sure of seats in the new cabinet. The new ministei-s will have to offer themselves for re-election in'their respective constituencies, which is an ancient safeguard against weak and unpopular appointments. Usually ministers of a newly-elected government are returned by, acclamation. Reports from Surf Inlet show that this newly started mining town is building up very fast. _ The ore being taken out is making better showing every day as the work progresses.

There has been a belief commonly held that the Germans were a virtuous, law abiding and God fearing people. In fact, that they were the best people on the continent of Europe. Late occurence have tended to throw doubts upon such opinions.t While the writer some years ago was actively connected with the temperance movement in the United States, it was a common ' thing to read in print that beer had a very brutalizing effect upon the general character of the habitual drinker, and as proof of this statement it was pointed out that the most horrible of crimes were generally committed by the beer drinking Germans; and that the worst elements in society such as saloon-keepers, brewers and anarchists were mostly of 'canst, tho war, was brought about by Germany to satisfy Germany's ambition for "a place in the sun." j The cruelty and brutality of I tho deliberate launching of this j war upon the world is ko appal- I ling that ordinary humanity are i * * ! loth to believe that any'nation j should he held responsible. Hut Germany went into it with her eyes open, in defiance of the pleadings, remonstrances and threats of the other great powers of Europe. Floods of Evidence In further proof of the wickedness of the German people as a whole, a look has = lately seen the light of day which brings forward a flood of evidence to this effect. - Its title is "Degenerate Germany," by Henry de Halsalle. It is "dedicated to those who still harbor the mischievous illusion that the Germans afe an estimable, peaceful and kindly people, utterly misled and misrepresented by their wicked government." And M! de Halsalle equipped by a most extended knowledge of his subject, and backed by the approval of Frederic Harrison, Lord Halsbury, Earl of Rose- bery and Admiral Lord Bores- ford, will certainly dispel that, illusion wherever honestly entertained. The outrages committed by the Germans in Belgium and Northern France, of which there are such abundant proofs, have by Germany's defenders been held cases and committed Ly some i drunken and dissolute soldiers and should not bexjharged to the army as a whole. But the author of this book proves beyond doubt that such is not the case, but i that "even German statistics indicate that Germany is beyond question the most vice-ridden country in Europe.-- In the year 1909, there were dealt with by German courts as crimes result- ing in convictions, 797,112 separate acts! Germany furnishes women for the white slave traffic for half the world." Tire book contains 2GG0 pages of close print and is packed with information of this nature. In refutation of the assertion that the Germans are a religious people the statement is made that in one parish in Berlin three clerg\ men sufliceri, for CO,GOO people, with a total (this in the year 1870) of 03 burials with religious services and 1897 without. Some years ago the'Kreuz Zeit- ung deplored the fact that "Berlin, of all christian towns is the one that has, proportionately, the least number of churches." To which a free-thinking journal rejoined: "The pious Zeitung should have added that even the few churches of which it speaks are always empty." The Volks Zeitung places the attendance at about one half of 1 per cent.of the population. ... o- .: o- -o,: o o:: :���������',;. - -\ ! ��������� $' President Wilson's Troubles. ��������� The late submarine activity on the eastern coast of North America is making President Wilson's campaign for re-election somewhat complicated. It is safe to assume that Mr. Wilson's sympathies are with the Entente Allies, but in deference to his party, whose success at the polls he must not jeopardize, he is obliged to assume an attitude almost unfriendly to the Allies1 in order not to antagonize the large German and Irish voters. The Allies have protested to have been confined to isolated lajainst'the enemy's submarines being allowed to call at United States ports for information and possibly supplies; but Mr. Wilson rules that he cannot refuse the German submarines this privilege, as it is not a violation of International laws. It is not easy to lay down ,the correct rulings in this case, because the situation created by the entrance of submarines in naval warfare is unprecedented; and in the heat of the campaign for re-election Mr. Wilson naturally gives a decision which,will cause the least harm to the success of the Democratic party.' And recent events show that t Mr. Wilson is not exactly reposing on a bed of roses. In spite of his lenient and forbearing attitude towards Germany, and his strong protests to Britain for interference with commerce and searching and detention of the mails, he has drawn upon himself the opposition of the pro- Germans who now see an opportunity to punish him for not pitting an embargo on munitions of war, etc. Of what he is up' against the primary election in Mr. Wilson's home state, New Jersey, furnishes a pretty fair sample. Two Democrats, one a very good and able man, the other of the ward"politician type, were contending for nomination at the primary election. Mr. Wilson used every effort, which, in his case is exceptionally strong, to get the best man elected. Under ordinary circumstances with his qualifications and the support received Mr. Wilson's candidate would have had a walk-over, but instead he met with the most ignominious defeat.' And the reason for this unexpected result was that the German-American and the Irish elements united to give Mr. Wilson a drubbing by opposing his candidate. Hence it is easy to,explain Mr. Wilson's attitude in, his controversy with the Allies over the latest phase in submarine warfare. But thathe resents the attacks made upon him by the pro-Germans was made evident the other day when in answer to an insulting telegram from a pro- German he replied it would mor: tify him to receive the support of such men and as he was not Mackay Smith, Blair & Co.

Even the most devoted Bowser- ite must now admit tnat it is with the greatest,reluctance and utmost delay that the defeated government retires from office. Itis.an operation as painful-as the pulling of teeth. It is now- over a month' since they were told emphatically at the polls that their services were no longer wanted, but they are very deliberate about obeying the summons. The indications are now that another month will'elapse before they will resign and it is possible that even after this long lapse of time they will find some pretext for hanging on a while Ion gei\ Mr. Bowser very graciously announces that in this interval no new business will be introduced or appointments' made. Only routine business, the catching up with the affairs behindhand in the different departments and getting everything in ship-shape for turning over the administration to the incoming government will be performed. It is very kind of Mr. Bowser^ to inform the public of'what he thinks is proper,for his government to do and not to do under the 'circumstances, as if there, according to all precedents, was any other course open to him. But he has become so accustomed to violating precedents that he probably thought it necessary to inform an impatient public that in this case he had decided otherwise.

According to our notions of a popular government it is altogether inexplicable how any man or body of men could be permitted under the circumstances to .conduct the affairs of the country in this way. Another thing we cannot fathom is why it should be necessary to wait one month after the election before counting the soldiers' vote. The Victoria Times sarcastically comments on the slowness of the progress of the count in this fashion: > ., , Very Gradual. "The count of the soldiers' v.ote cast in Canada will be commenced on- October 13th. The count of the vote polled in Europe will be started four days later. It never would do to have the two commence on the same day. There would be too much uniformity about, while it would not be in keeping with the process by which the Bowser government is being disconnected from office by graduated stages. Never has a ministry, overwhelmingly rejected by the people, slid so gently into oblivion. The only shock this one suffered was on the day the returns of the civilian vote came in. There has been no grinding, groaning, moaning, parting of the hawser, no sharp wrench. Although the owners of the ship have fired them bat and baggage,- the ministers will remain on deck to the very last minute and the very last cent. Perhaps after all the electors i should feel grateful that the retirement of the government is not even more gradual than it is. The count of the soldiers' vote might have been started some days later than the present schedule demands or the act might have stipulated that it should hi begun in not less than six months and not more than twelve months from the date of nomination." o o o o o An Early Federal Electior.. In Montreal they are .talking about an early Dominion election, perhaps the last of Novem-. ber. Ottawa says no election in sight, but Ottawa was the only place taken by surprise when Sir Wilfrid Laurier dissolved parliament in the summer of 1911. It certainly looks like the ministers of the crown were busy feeling the pulse of the country. Sir Robert Borden has been looking over his fences in Nova Scotia, and yesterday was said to be meeting influential people in Montreal. Hon. Mr. Cochrane has gone to Sudbury, where nickel abounds, and even more precious metals may be obtained. Dr. Reid is sizing up the country west of Lake Superior, and Sir Thomas White came up to Toroth to from Ottawa Thursday prepared to spend some little tipie in this part of the province. Before long,'these doctors no doubt will come .together, compare notes and decide on a course of action.

The Germans find it rather 'difficult' even with their blood and iron rule to govern the Belgians. The-Belgians do not accept their authority as legal and therefore has no scruples of defying it whenever possible. The Germans have bsen using che railroads and the rolling stock of Belgium for war purposes and in the natural course jf events repairs and renewals have to be made, but the Belgians could not be induced to do :his work. Therefore force had co be used. They were told that .io food would be allowed to be supplied them from any source, and in order to enfore this deeiee barbed wire fences were erected around the town; no food should pass^'this barrier ar.d no Belgian be allowed, to leave. The relief committee protested without avail; but the Belgians were firm and would not yield even if they were starved, with the result that finally the German authorities had, to give in and allow food to be distributed.

Carrick, member of Dominion House of Commons, has just returned from a visit to the fighting front in France. He found everyone at the front filled with optimism and confidence. In regard to the celebrated "tanks" he said: "During the few days that I was at the front, the first attack was made by the mysterious 'tanks.' They were^considerably to the north of us and could not be distinguished on account of the tremendous bombardment, which never let up day or night. However, when I was at dinner with Lord Rhondda and some of the war-office officials, they de- scribed these tanks as a miracle of ingenuity.

April Favored for Election. ��������� The Borden government is in doubt whether to pull off a general election in December or to postpone the day of wrath until next April.' The chances favor the latter date. The government itself looks on April as a desirable date to test public feeling for two or three reasons. In the first place, an April campaign means a short session of Parliament. To dissolve the House and make the writs returnable means a clear space of a month, and that in turn means an adjournment by the end of February. A six weeks session, occupied largely with estimates and appropriations will not give a scandal crusade much chance to make headway. The Borden government has enough scandals on its hands already. y.'s:'^* / heJVlason & rlisch Piano "NO of to-day will mafic plain our privilege to slate with authority: FINER PIANO MADE!"

In fact, that they were .the best people on the continent of Europe. ' Late occurence have tended to throw doubts upon such opinions. While the writer some years ago was actively connected with the temperance movement in the United States, it was a common thing to read in print that beer had a very brutalizing^effect upon the general character of the habitual drinker, and as proof of this statement it was pointed out that the most horrible of crimes were generally committed by the beer drinking Germans; and that the worst elements in society such as saloon-keepers, brewers that nationality. Coming down to this war and the cause of it some people insist that it is a punishment from God upon sinful people. Be that as it may there is some human agency also responsible -for the launching of this the greatest of calamities upon human society. And it is equally true that that agency was evil. The responsibility in'the light of history will not be charged to a virtuous nation. It is the evil things that bring evil to come about. ��������� And in spite of the pro-Germans asseverations to the contrary'the calm and critical historian of the future will have no trouble to find that this monumental holocaust, the war, was brought about by Germ amy to satisfy Germany's ambition for "a place in the sun." The cruelty and brutality of the deliberate launching of this war upon the world is so appalling that ordinary humanity are loth to believe that'any nation should be held responsible. But Germany went into it" with her eyes dpe'n, in defiance of the pleadings, remonstrances and threats of the other great powers of Europe. Floods of Evidence In further proof of the wickedness of the German people as a whole, a book has lately seen the light of day which brings forward a flood of evidence to this effect. Its title is "Degenerate Germany," by Henry de Halsalle. It is "dedicated- to those who still harbor the mischievous illusion that the Germans are an estimable, peaceful and 'kindly people, utterly misled and misrepresented by their'wicked government." And M. de Halsalle equipped by a most extended knowledge of his subject, and backed by the approval of Frederic Harrison, Lord Halsbury, Earl of Rose- bery and Admiral. Lord Beres- ford, will certainly dispel that illusion wherever honestly entertained. The outrages com mitted by the Germans in Belgium and Northern France, of-whhm there are such abundant proofs, have by V mmm wmmmrn MAKES perfect bread J cases and committed ly some drunken and ^dissolute soldiers and should;hot be charged to the army as a whole. But the author, of this book proves beyond doubt that^such is not the case, but that "even German statistics indicate that Germany is beyond question the most vice-ridden country in Europe. In the year 1909, there were dealt with by- German courts as crimes resulting in convictions, 797,112 separate acts! 'Germany furnishes women for the white slave traffic for half the world." The book contains 2660 pages of close print and is packed with information of. this nature. In refutation of the assertion that the Germans are a religious people the statement- is made that in one parish in Berlin three clergymen sufficed for 60,000 people, with a total' (this in the year 1870)of v63 burials with religious services and 1897 without. Some years ago the Kreuz Zeitung deplored the fact that "Berlin, of all christian towns is the one 7 that has, proportionately, the least number of churches.'' To which a free-thin king j.ournal rejoined: "The pious Zeitung should have added that even the few churches of which it speaks are always empty." The Volks Zeitung places the attendance at about one half of 1 per cent of the population. Germany's defenders been held and anarchists were mostly of to have been confined to isolated President Wilson's Troubles. The late submarineactiyityoh the eastern coast of North America is making President Wilson's campaign for re-election somewhat complicated. It is safe to assume that Mr. r Wilson's sympathies are with the Entente Allies, but jhMefer- ence to his party, whose success at the polls he must not jeopardize, he is obliged to assume an attitude almost unfriendly to the Allies in order not to antagonize the large German and Irish voters. The Allies have protested against the enemy's submarines being allowed to call at United States ports for information and possibly supplies; but Mr. Wilson rules that he cannot refuse the German submarines this privilege, as it is not a violation of International laws. - ,' It is hot easy to lay down the correct rulingssin this.case, because the "situation created by the entrance of submarines in naval warfare is unprecedented; and in the heat of the campaign for re-election Mr. Wilson naturally gives,a decision which will cause the least harm to the success of the Democratic party. And recent events show that Mr. Wilson is not exactly reposing on a bed/of roses. In spite of his lenient and forbearing attitude towards Germany, and his strong protests to Britain for interference with commerce and searching and detention of the mails, he has. drawn upon himself the opposition of the pro- Germans who now see an opportunity to punish him for not put- ing an embargo on munitions of war, etc. k , Of what he is up against the primary election in Mr. Wilson's home state, New Jersey, furnishes a pretty fair sample. sTwo Democrats, one a very good and able man, the other of the ward politician type, were contending for nomination at the primary election. Mr.. Wilson used every effort, which in his case is exceptionally strong, to get the best man elected. Under ordinary circumstances-with his qualifications and the support, received Mr. Wilson's candidate would Jiave had a walk-over, but instead he met with the most ignominious defeat. And the reason for this unexpected result was that the German-American and the Irish elements united to give Mr. Wilson a drubbing by opposing his candidate. Hence it is easy to explain Mr. Wilson's attitude in his controversy with the Allies over the latest phase in submarine warfare. But that he resents the attacks made, upon him by the pro-Germans was made evident the other day when in answer to an insulting telegram from a pro- German he replied it would mortify him to receive the support of such men and as he was not Mackay Smith, Blair & Co- Ltd.

It is very kind of Mr. Bowser to inform the public of what he thinks is proper for his government to do and not to do under the circumstances, as if there, according to all precedents. was any other course open to him. But he has become so acoustended to violating precedents that he probably thought it necessary to inform an impatient public that in this case he had decicit d otherwise.

According to oar notions of a popular government it is altogether inexplicable how anyman or body of men could be permitted under the circumstances to conduct the affairs of the country in this way. Another thing we cannot fathom is why it should be necessary to wait one month after the election be fore counting the soldiers' vote. I The Victoria Times sarcasti-' cally comments on the slowness! of the progress of the count in; this fashion: j ! Very Gradual. j "The count of the soldiers'! vote cast in Canada will be commenced on October,13th. The count of the votepolled in Europe will be started four days later. It never would do to have the two commence on the same day. There would be too much uniformity about, while it would not be in keeping with the process by which the Bowser government is. being disconnected from oflice by graduated stages. Never has a ministry, overwhelmingly rejected by the people, slid so gently into oblivion. The only shock this one suffered was on the day the returns of the civilian vote came in. There has been no grinding, groaning, moaning, parting of the hawser, no sharp wrench. Although the owners of the ship have fired them ba^ and baggage, the ministers will remain on deck to the very lasi minute and the very last cent. Perhaps after all the electors should feel grateful that the retirement of the government is not even more gradual than it is. The count of the soldiers' vote might have been started some days later than the present schedule demands or the act might have stipulated that it should bt begun in notless than six months and not more than twelvemonths from the date of nomination." o c o c o An Early Federal Electior.

The Tanks. Col. J. J. Carrick, member of Dominion House of Commons, has just returned from a visit to the fighting front in France. He found everyone at the front filled with optimism and confidence. In regard to the celebrated "tanks" he said: "During the few days that 1 was at the front, the first attack was made by the mysterious 'tanks.' They were considerably to the north of us and could not be distinguished on account of the tremendous bombardment, which never let up day or night. However, when I was at dinner with Lord Rhondda and some of the war office officials, they described these tanks as a miracle of ingenuity. They are about 60 foet long and between 12 and 15 feet wide and run on an endless chain belt arrangement which enables them to go over rough ground and over trenches. Sh Sam Hughes told me that one ol the German officers is reported to have said that when a tank was across a certain tnnch, enfilading it, that this was not wai it. was simply murder. How- evel., it ill behooves the Germans after their tactics of gas and baby April Favored for Election. The Borden government is in doubt whether to pull off a general election in December or to postpone the day of wrath until next April. The chances favor the latter date. The government itself looks on April as a desirable date to test public feeling for two or three reasons. In the first place, an April campaign means a short session of Parliament. To dissolve the House and make the writs returnable means a clear space of a month, and that in turn means an adjournment by the end of February. A six weeks session, occupied largely with estimates and appropriations will not give a scandal cyusade much chance to make headway. The Borden government has enough scandals on its hands already.
