C. On Tuesday night Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P., sent the following dispatch to Ottawa: "Right Hon. Sir R. L. Borden:��������� "Since returning to Vancouver I find conditions such as to create alarm for the near future as regards payments on maturing mortgages and land sale agreements. It is impossible to get new loans on the best of security and certain avaricious persons exhibit the temdency to force foreclosure proceedings, taking advantage of war conditions. There is also a lot of German money invested through local companies, which companies are forcing payment or forfeiture on behalf of their clients. Recently .a Supreme Court judge declared that he had no power to staj* the execution of a judgment authorizing foreclosure. I would urge on your government to exercise the power given it at the recent session and declare a moratorium on all mortgages and agreements as a necessary action in view of the conditions, and would respectfully press strongly for immediate action by the government. "(Signed) H. H. Stevens." In referring to his dispatch to Jthe Premier, Mr. Stevens stated that he felt that such action was a necessary step on the part of the government to protect citizens who may feel themselves in jeopardy owing to the general tightness of money. It would not apply to general business or commercial indebtness, but would affect only payments on mortgages and agreements for sale, and the recommendation applied only to these two forms of indebtness, in which the creditor was amply secured and not to a general moratorium in which all classes of indebtedness would' be included. His action, he stated, had been inspired by numerous cases brought to his attention where extreme hardship had been inflicted with no immediate benefits possible to the parties instigating the foreclosure. Mayor Baxter, when spoken to in regard to this telegram, said: "I think it is a very good idea. From what I have heard about the way foreclosures are being ^forced itJsJiimeJfoatJome_suchj^ h***************************^ . f Regarding the indebtedness of the men who have gone to the front J may say that in our work on the relief committee in dealing with the mortgagors and vendors of land held by the volunteers we have riot had a single case in which there has been shown any inclination to press for the money. Every man has said that as far as they were concerned the payment can stand. However, the exigencies of business may require the transfer or assignment of some of these claims, and they may fall into less generous hands. But as far as the present holders of these claims I can only say that they have been most liberal and it has been a great pleasure to have associations with them. Outside of these cases, however, there are undoubtedly men who are pushing foreclosure pro-. ceedings beyond any necessity, and anything that will postpone these foreclosures will do good." Mr. Jonathan Rogers, president of the Board of Trade, also approved of the recommendation of the Member of Parliament. "I quite agree that some such steps should be taken," said he. "Whether a moratorium is best or not I am not sure, but these foreclosures should be stopped until better times. I have been urging something on this line for some time, but just how it could be worked out is difficult to determine. It might be that the courts could appoint a.trustee to administer property subject to foreclosure, so that the mortgagors would be assured of such revenue as it might produce. I think also that something should be done to lighten the burden of7 business men who although possessed of ample assets are yet unable to secure from the banks cash with which to prosecute their business on the scale demanded." The following reply to Mr. Stevens' telegram to the Premier has been received: : ���������'���������.������������������ -������������������'* H.i H. Stevens, M.-P., Vancouver: "Your telegram respecting mortgages. We are advised that such matters are under the juris-' diction and control of the Provincial Legislatures. The subject has been commended to the consideration of every provincial government some weeks ago. "B. L. Borden." This question then is now up to Victoria. ��������� - o MEN OF IHE HOUR O i * i"_"t"t' -1' <��������� -t' ���������!��������� 't'���������������!��������� ������������������������ -t' ���������!��������� '!��������� -t- ���������!��������� ���������!���������������<������������������!��������� ���������?��������� ������������������������ -I-l-l' -t-<g X X !

GTO3JtAfrJOFFR"E Commander-in-Chief of our French Allies tw war pay mm The Germans are now lined up for another great battle, which they must fight and win if they are to make g^ Their right wing rests on Noyon, 14 miles north of Compeigne, then sweeping south and north in a semi-circle, passes by Laon, then straight east to Rethel, and from there to a point just north of Verdun, then due east to the German fortress of Metz, on which their left wing rests. This battle is now on, and must be won by the German to prevent disaster. The situation is described as satisfactory by both French and British official bureaus. London.���������-From official Press Bureau: "It is stated from Russian official sources that the rout of the Austrian army in Galicia is complete. The Austrian loss since the taking of Lemberg is estimated-at-250,000 killed and- wounded,^lOO.OCHK prisoners, 400 guns, many colors and vast quantities of stores. The Germans made desperate efforts to save the Austrian army, but failed completely, losing 36 pieces of heavy artillery and several dozen pieces of siege artillery." Nish, Servia.���������The Montenegrins defeated the Austrians at Koulilivo on September 13. The Servians have finally* driven the Austrians across the Drina after several desperate engagements, and are now advancing into Bosnia. Nothing im- portant on the Danube. " Latest War News London, Sept X7-Eari Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, in the House of Lords today, took the country into his confidence as to what the British army had already done to assist their French allies, and spoke of what would be done in the future of the war, which he said probably would be a long one. "There are already in France," said Earl Kitchener, "rather more than six divisions of our expeditionary forces. The latest advices from Sir John French," he said, "did not materially change the situation from the published statements. The troops were in good heart, ready to move forward when the moment arrived." In addition to the six divisions of troops, he said there Were two divisions of cavalry in France, which were being maintained at their full strength, while further regular divisions and additional cavalry were being organized from units drawn from over-seas garrisons. A division of territorials haa already left for Egypt, a brigade for Malta and a garrison for Gibraltar. As to the two new armies, new divisions were now assembling at training quarters, and a third army Was being formed on the new camping grounds. A fourth army was being created and Indian divisions were on their way. Havre, Sept.17.���������The Germans have abandoned Laon and Lafere and are moving back to the hastily improvised fortifications and entrenchments at Sedan and M^rieres. This more than any other move shows the seriousness of the situation for the Germans. With some~ hitherto unrecorded developments pending, which may materially aid the Allies, the censorship has become stricter than ever. Antwerp.���������Belgians reject offer of extension of territory said to have been made, by Baron von der Goltz for ah armistice. Belgium's reply was a renewed attack on German lines precipitating a four days' battle. Paris.���������The Kaiser has sent a telegram to the King of Italy, as follows:��������� "Conqueror or conquered, I shall never forget your treason." This is one more case of lese majeste. The Vancouver Board of Trade have given Mr. Fee till today to resign his membership ere calling a meeting to expell him. Sentiment seems strong against the attitude taken by Mr. Fee. THE WAR DAY BY DAY Cape Town, Sept. 12.���������South Africa will up- ' hold the Empire in its conflict with Germany. Premier Botha in a thoroughly loyal speech, held , that when the Empire was at war the Union was also at war, her troops therefore had been mob- "'' ilized land the Union would undertake operations * against German Southwest Africa whose troops > had already invaded Union territory. The Imper- . ial government had arranged a loan for the Union of $35,000,000 to cover war expenses. Paris.���������The Germans have been decisively defeated on the Marne, and are now in full and rapid retreat. The French and British forces are pursuing closely, and it is thought in many * quarters that the Germans" will have some difficulty in extricating the armies of Von Kluck and the Prince of Wurtemberg. News is also received today, from Vitry le Francois that the Germans have abandoned the attack on the French centre that has been raging fiercely for four days, and are retreating on Nancy. The French forces' following up have re-occupied Luneville. Antwerp.���������The Belgium army haa resumed the offensive, and is harrassing the enemy.

Dijon, France.���������The Germans have evacuated the region of Nancy. The French centre has victoriously resisted a ten day's attack at this point. The vattack here for part of the time being under the personal direction of Kaiser Wilhelm. The Belfort district is also freed of Germans, and is now being re-occupied by the French who still hold Tharnn and the outskirts of Altkirche. Rome.���������Austria shas removed her first line of troops from the Italian frontier in order to strengthen her forces facing the Russians. Sept. 15, Paris.���������Battle commenced on Sunday still continues with advantage day by day to the Allied forces. On the left wing the armies are in close touch with the enemy on the whole front from the heights north of the river Aisne to those west and south of Rheims. On the centre our forward movement between the Argonne district and the Meuse continues. Verdun is not now and never has been invested. Fort Troyon, which protects the heights of Meuse, has been bombarded on several occasions. Nothing new on the right wing. Sept. 16, London.���������The general position along the Aisne river, is very favorable. Several counter attacks by the Germans have been repulsed, and a slight advance made by our troops and by the French armies both on right and left of lis. Soisson, France.���������The German right wing abandoned Soissons on Monday, and retreated north of the river Aisne.

London.���������The battle of tbe Aisne has been fought and won by the Allies and adds another chapter of heroism and daring to those won; by the A^ies at Mons and in the battle of the Marne.

While the program for the sessions of the International Dry Farming congress to be held at Wichita, Kansas, October 12-15, is still in the process of making to some extent, yet it has practically been completed. The distinctive thing about the program is the fact that representatives who are in attendance will not be compelled to bring credentials with them from any appointive power.'. This is a clear departure from the usual rule of congresses, conferences, conventions and the like. The idea in departing thus from the usual custom is to simplify and democratize the Ninth sessions so far as possible and to extractv the highest possible usefulness from! them. The Rev. Dr. Alexander M. Brodie, pastor of "the First Presbyterian church of Wichita", will deliver the invocation". The assemblage will be called to order by W. I. Drummond, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, chairman of the International.Board of Governors. Then there will be the introduction of Charles W.'Southward,.of Wichita, chairman of the Kansas Board of Control, followed by the addresses of welcome. ��������� . > Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in jFe railroad hi theT>anhaildle of Tex" States department of agriculture in the dry land agriculture work; by A.

C, that is attracting more than.'ordinary serious attention: . It requires the Federal reserve board to organize and put into effect, a system under which loans of not to exceed $5,000 in each case may be made to any one person at an interest, rate not to exceed 4 per cent, for a period not longer than 20 years. "Such loans," says the bill, "shall be made only for the purpose of acquiring farm lands or city property and improving the same for residence purposes, or for improving residence property." / In explaining the measure Senator Jones said: "With tbe general objects and purposes of the , rural credit bills which have been presented I am in hearty .sympathy. They do not/ however* go to the real needs of the people. They :help Vthe man who has something to get more, but they do not help the man who has nothing to get something���������to get a start, if you please. There are many men who, if they could just get a start, would soon own a home. They are honest, sober, industrious and economical, but they cannot get ahead. Most of their efforts go to support some one else by the payment of rents. The rent for the farm or city dwelling takes most of their savings. They cannot buy or build a home. These are the men who really need help. "JPut these men so that the money they pay as rent will apply upon the purchase of a farm or a home in the city without most of it going for interest, so tbat the product of their labor will go to them, and their families and they will soon become home owners and builders and happier men and better citizens. Strength, energy, industry, sobriety, honesty and frugality are a < substantial basis of credit in the business world, and the man who has these elements should, be enabled to capi- _^ talize them jeyen if he doesn't own any property. With these and the property purc.hasea with a. loan as security for its repayment, the element of loss will be small. , "This is the real purpose of this bill. It is to help those who now have nothing in the way of . property to acquire something to make it so that their efforts may go to their oMrn; benefit rather than to sustain some one else in idleness. It is to capitalize industry, good character and the frugality of the renter and assist him to become a home owner. When we do that we do a real good, we help where help is needed, we make better citizens, and strengthen the government itself. We make our citizens feel that the government really means something of good and helpfulness to them as individuals. I would rather assist in passing a law. of this kind than in enacting some great measure- so-called���������restricting the captains of industry from cutting each other's throats, as we spend most of our time in doing. "This bill simply lays down the broad principles to be followed in accomplishing a, great and definite object and allows the details to be worked , out through the great financial organization which we have provided for handling our currency system. It can work put the details much better than we and should be able to do it at a minimum of cost.. There need be no high salaried officials as is provided for in the various rural credit measures, and a comparativelysmall number of local agents will need to be provided. The greatest latitude is given to the most experienced of business men to carry out a purely business proposition. * They will be connected with local agencies fam^iar withVlocal eonditions, and they can carry on the work more safely and more economically and more wisely than any other agency. "This measure is not paternalism, it is aided individualism; it is not Socialism, it is good gov- ernmentalism." TRUE OF A CITY ALSO Only a few years have passed since it first dawned upon a people who had revelled in plenty for a century that the richest patrimony is not proof against constant and careless wa.ste; that a nation of spenders must take thought for its morrow or come to poverty.���������James J. Hill. PROCLAMATION APPOINTING DAY OF PRAYER fOR PEACE i MORE QERMAN ECCENTRICITIES We publish today the proclamation of President Wilson calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe. It is backed up by a call from the Federal council of the churches of Christ in America urging a full observance of the day on the .120.000 Protestant Evangelical churches the -.ouncil represents. _ The proclamation is humble, solemn and reverent, and will unite the minds and hearts of millions of praying men and women on October 4 in an appeal to the wisdom and goodness of God fronx the confusion and failure of human wisdom and counsel that has wrought such awful bloodshed in Europe. President Wilson's proclamation was as follows:��������� - ".[ v.; "��������� By the President of the United States of America ������������������:.;'-��������� i���������A Proclamation. Whereas, great nations of the world have taken up arms against one another and war now draws millions of men into battle whom the counsel of statesmen have not been able to save from the terrible sacrifice; land, Whereas, in this as in all things, it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel and succor of AI-', mighty God, humbling ourselves before him, confessing our weakness and our lack of any wisdom equal to these things; and, Whereas, it is the equal especial wish and longing of the people of the United States, in prayer end counsel and all friendliness, to serve the cause of peace j - .V Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do designate Sunday, the 4th day of October next, a day of prayer and supplication, and do request all God fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of worship,, there to unite their petitions to Almighty God, that overruling the^counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in his mercy and goodness showing a way where men' can see none, He vouchsafe Hs children healing peace again and restore once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship, nor any wholesome fruit of toil.or thought in the world; praying also to this end that he forgive us our sins, our ignorance of his holy will, our. willfulness, and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision .and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise. , ., In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to' be affixed. < ��������� "i WOODROW WILSON.

'-'/ ITS AN lit WIND THAT JIOWS NOBODYGOOD " The United States government September crop, report just issued estimates that the farm value, of the" four leading cereal crops of the country, together with the value of the hay crop, shows ������ total increase over the value of the same crops last year of $621,000,000. The total crop of wheat is placed at 896,000,000 bushels, a reduction of 15,000,000 bushels in the spring wheat yield estimated in August, lowering the total yield. The value of this crop is 93,3 cents September 1, based on the farm values, or a total of $836,000,000, compared to $588,p00,0O0 a year ago. The value of the corn crop is $2,117,. 000,000, against $1,845,000,000 in 1913, and oats $472,000,000, or $32,000,000 more than a year ago. The barley crop is worth $8,000,000 more than in 1913 on September 1, and the hay crop has a farm^value of $822,000,000, or. $61,000,000 more than last year. "'*' 3; " ���������' ' Sound Prosperity Shown The above figures show better than anything else the sound basis for prosperity on the farms the coming year. Eventually the splendid position of the farmers should be reflected in general business conditions,-as never before in the history of the country has there been the prospect ������or the monetary returns to the farmer there is this year. Ordinarily a huge crop means low prices, but this year the record breaking wheat crop is being disposed of at the highest values in many years. . The moderate size of the spring wheat crop is more than offset by the enormous winter wheat yield, which is now being marketed at about 35 to 40 cents higher than at the beginning of the harvest. THS GREAT CROP OF GERMAN VICTORIES AT LAST ACCOUNTED FOR The New York Evening Telegram announces, and with good cause, that so long as the present war lasts it will not publish again one single line of '' war news'' which is sent through any agency, German or otherwise, as having come from Berlin by wireless. This paper is in a position to know that wireless stations inthis country have not, are not and will not receive any authentic war news from Berlin and that the news which the capital of Germany, to this country by wireless has been, the rankest fake imaginable/with n^feone shred of authenticity. .���������'���������'. : At the proper time the Evening Telegram is going to make an expose of some of these German "victories'' which were not "made in^Germany" but were manufactured on this side of the Atlantic. ^ The Otto Shlegel Manufacturing Company have sent a. circular to the Canadian Trade dated New York, August 29, as follows: Dear Sir:���������, , Owing to, war conditions and the absolute certainty that no yellow Schlag metal or even composition leaf in books will, come froni Germany (the only place where it is made) for .at least six months or until the German army has occupied England and the sea coast of France, we offer you for immediate acceptance some of the remainder of our stock laying at our office in Montreal." As an example of German cocksureness this is certainly a good one; It but illustrates1 the condition of the Teuton ?s mind all over theV world that has brought to pass this awful disaster to the; human family. There is only One cure���������-a full and final settlement of accounts. That man is a traitor to the whole race, Germans included, who proposes a compromise. RE MR. FEE. Editor Western Call:��������� You will remember that his Worship our Mayor gave instructions to the chief of police to take drastic measures against all street speakers .of the rabid type, as, at this time, liable to cause or lead to treasonable acts or utterances by such speakers. My view is that Mr. Fee n his position and his use of the press to expound his disloyalty to Canada and all things British, makes his views more harmful than any amount of street speaking would do and raises the question of one law for the rich and one for the poor, the cause of so much class hatred. What would happen to Mr. Fee if, as~a citizen of Germany, he aired his views against that country at this time? He would be shot. And again, as a citizen of the United States, he told them that it would be best for them that Canada take them over, war or no war, they would give him a number in exchange for his name, or;, at least give him a term in some home for!the fee---. ble minded. I think Mr. Fee should take a sea trip; it would improve both mind and body. F. W. Wood. P. S.���������The Kaiser's views re Canada and the States are the same as Mr. Fee's. Puzzle: In what branch of, the German service does Mr. Fee hold a commission? it MUST BE BETTU5D RIGHT However the battle is ended, .- 'Though.proudly the^victor comes With fluttering flags and prancing nags And echoing roll of drums, Still truth proclaims thjs motto, In letters of living light��������� No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Though the he'd of the strong oppressor May grind the weak in the dust, And the voices of fame with one acclaim May call him great and just, fret those who applaud take warning, And keep this motto in sight��������� No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Let those who have failed take courage, Though the enemy seemed' to have won; Though his ranks are strong, if he be in the wrong, The battle is not yet done, For sure as the morning follows - - The darkest hour of the night, No question is ever settled until it is settled right. A TRXt FOR TH3 KAISRR "He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him; he hath broken his covenant.; - VThe wbrds of-his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. But thou, O. God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction, bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days." Psalm lv.f 20:23. A NEW TEXTILE FABRIC POSSIBUi It is believed, says a consular report on the trade of Panama, that a substitute for silk has been produced by crossing the blooms of certain wild fibre plants with the cotton plant. The result is a staple of texture finer than cocoon silk, but with a tensile strength more than five times greater. :'���������''��������� . The Rev. Jacob Primmer, the man who in season and out of season, has for the last 50 years: waged ceaseless war against the "Papish and ritualistic innovations in the Reformed churches of Scotland," is dead. Mr. Primmer "suffered the loss of all things" for the faith that was in him, and whilst disowned by the church that ordained him and stripped of his "living," he contended earnestly for the faith once delivered to the people of God and lived to see the movement he inaugurated grow into a mighty protest not only in Scotland but also in England, and now more recently in the United States. The Prince George, Grand Trunk Pacific liner between Vancouver and Prince Rupert, which was refitted by the authorities as hospital ship for the Pacific coast, is to be released by the admiralty after she has been, refitted, and returned to her route. ���������'���������'.*'- Twenty-eight Prussians, the first to be seen in Paris in the present war, arrived at St. Lazare station on September 8th. They had become separated from their regiment and lost their way. They asked a peasant near Meaux if the Germans had taken Paris and how to get there; The peasant replied that he thought Paris had. fallen, and would conduct them to the right road. When it was too late the Prussians found he was leading them, into the British lines. ,.

John Clifford of London, perhaps the' most prominent Baptist Non-Conformist leader, was on his way back from the International Peace Conference at Constance, Switzerland, when the war broke out. Passing through Germany tyr. Clifford was. inclined to think that Britain's position shpuldcbe that of careful neutrality, but on reading the official statement of the negotiations with German high officials, he was thoroughly converted and; Dr. Clifr ford, the greatest of peace advocates, became a "war to the finish" enthusiast ���������'������������������.'..

Dr. Clifford said in part:��������� "The first immediate duty of the church was to endeavor to understand this war; to see what is at stake; to discover the seed out of which this accursed harvest had grown said the speaker. In the time of war the real and full truth was'very difficult to discover. It took some twenty or thirty years to get at the roots of a war. Speaking personally, he could but say that, as one looked into the heart of things, one felt that it was not simply a matter of money, human lives, misery and wretchedness, but that what was really at. stake was-the triumph of spiritual ideas over brutal ones, of moral ideas over immoral ones, of the principles of righteous- *******************>********^ SNAP TOR G/\SH OR ON TERMS Four Good Lots at White Rock, B.C.

"Dr. Clifford said that while he was in Germany at the Peace Conference his own strong feeling was that England could do no better than- be neu- ) tral. On his way back to this country he had .drafted a letter- for the press in favor of complete neutrality. -But when he arriyeOack on the day that war was declared, and found, what Germany premeditation and action had involved, and how it had e- volved, he had to keep that letter in his hind. He had searched high and low,--for- reasons ^against^the-war.^ 'I hate war with the whole force of my being. "It is anti-Christian, wicked devilish, diabolical. Yet when I looked into the situation and weighed the whole of the evidence I could not see that our government had taken a wrong step. While I regret unspeakably that this island,' isolated as it is, should be embroiled in this Continental strife, yet the only thing T can say is that we are forced into it. It is an'awful compulsion and what it means nobody can tell. We must endeavor to do the will of God, which will be to stand up for humanity- I believe that the best and noblest elements of the human race are with us. "Passing on to the immediate duty of members of Christian churches, Dr. Clifford emphasized five points��������� There must be no giving way to panic, alarm or dread; enemies.must be for- ness and justice over brute force and given from the heart, for hatred is not Christian; those who were suffering loss, poverty or distress must be mere might. Triumph of Materialism. No thoughtful person could look back over the last forty years without observing the increasing triumph of materialistic conceptions and forces. The teachings of Schopenhauer and of Nietzche had permeated Germany, in general, arid Prussia, in particular. Prussian militarism was but the incarnation of the philosophy regnant in the great universities of Prussia, of the present conflict. Quoting the German chancellor's expression, "to hack our way through," Dr. Clifford affirmed that any thieving or robbery could be justified by the pleas put forward in the speech in which that phrase was taken. The idea that the realm of ethics was to be dominated by brute force, was accursed in its birth; in its developments, and in its issues. On that basis, the present conflict was a battle between brutal forces on the one hand and the *t I Xt XX XX X II til Ulllll 11 III ***** 1 X 11.

Nearly all our thought regarding war was wrong. We must cease glorifying it to the imagination of our children and' teach them that 'war is wholesale^ trturder.' At the earliest possible moment, also, the private trading in war making and , w Qff. 6ne armaments, which had become one of -������^ ,*, V the most menacing, facts of our na^ tidnal and international life, must be broken up.' ��������� "Putting his manuscript aside, Dr. Clifford .went on, with greater freedom, and with a touch of his old oratorical fire: 'The rule of the military casts must come to an end. Why should-twenty or-ihirty^men-govern Europe? When is this thing to come to an end? When is autocracy'to be put down and democracy to stand on its own feet? God is giving us , a great chance now, and we shall be false to ourselves unless we make use of it.

"Dr; Clifford turned to the question of how the churches were to set to work to secure fruits of the most beneficent and, abiding kind from the present struggle, and to ensure that this war'should not be the. precursor of others, but as it was the greatest known to history, so it might be the last. 'Our ideal is high, and our goal is distant. We seek nothing less than the organization of the peoples of the world on the basis of peace, the federation of the States of Europe, and of the whole planet on the foundation of international laws, with an international court to administer the laws, and an international court to administer the laws, and an international A Silent Pause at Noon. The Archbishop of Canterbury has drawn up a new form of private prayer to be offered up specially for the sailors of our fleet in the present crisis. He suggests its use particularly at noon as a silent prayer, when ' the bell reminds those at work to lift up their hearts to the Lord.' It is as folows:��������� . "O. Thou, that slumberest not nor sleepest, protect, we pray Thee, our sailors from "the hidden perils of the sea, from the snares and assaults of the enemy. In the anxious hours of waiting, steady and support those" on whom the burdens of responsibility lie. heavily,'and grant that in dangers often, in watching often, in Weariness often, they may serve Thee with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord.���������Amen. KING ALBERT REWARDS LEYSEN. HEROIC BOY SCOUT OF BELGIUM Paris.���������The hero of Belgium today is the boy scout Leysen, who has been decorated by King Albert for his valor and devotion to his country. This young man, born at Liege, is described by the Figaro as of almost uncanny sharpness, with senses and perceptions as keen as a savage. He was able to find his way through the . woods and pass the sentinels of the enemy with unerring accuracy. Leysen made his way through the German lines from Antwerp for the tenth time last Sunday, carrying dispatches to secret representatives of the Belgian government in Brussels. He has discovered and denounced eleven German spies in , Belgium, -and performed a variety of other services, and all without impairing his boyish simplicity. NO DRINK FOR THE FRONT Lord Kitchener states that no presents of wines or spirits can be accepted for the troops at the front, and that none will be forwarded. The British and Russian armies are both, as regards officers and men, on an absolutely teetotal regime during the war. BOYS' BRIGADE OFFER The Boys' Brigade which has 70,- 000 members In the United Kingdom and 10,000 in London, is stepping forward to offer its services to the country at the present juncture. The London committee, pf which MajornGeneral Sir John Moody is chairman, is making special efforts to be ready for any call for assistance which may be made upon the brigade. Their services will be available to help either military or civil authorities. According to Aaron Waldheim, president of the Empire Automobile Company, just back in Montreal from Carlsbad, prohibition went into effect in Germany the day war was declared. No. wonder the Germans were in such a hurry to get to France. ->��������� 7- -' . ��������� ' / THE WESTERN CALL. Friday.

The present stock of gold is the largest reported by the Bank in nearly twenty years.

BELGIAN WAR DOGS <:~x~x..:~:~x<<������x~^^^ Animals' Share in the Fighting at Liege. Sheepdogs and terriers used by the Belgian army to draw a little cart filled with amunition into the firing line have played a part in the fighting near Liege like the war dogs used in the battles in the Middle Ages. ' A telegram from Antwerp relates how a machine gun detachment which became isolated rah out of ammunition. The men determined to fall back on the main body by a charge. As they threw themselves on the enemy, thrusting with bayonet and striking with the butts of their rifles, their ammunition dogs sprang forward also, darting with fierce teeth at the throats and legs of the. Germans. * "BIGGER." The Biggest of its kind is the Jewelry store of Geo. 6. Bigger, Ltd., at 23 Hastings St. West.
