About 300 Irish volunteera were present in full uniform and armed with heavy swords.

Why, then, is it that American opinion has set so steadily from the;outset in favour of the Aliies> Our Government has done very little to guide American opinion. We sent out a cheap edition of our Foreign Office papers; and employed two or three novelists upon a sort of semiofficial literary expedition. Beyond this We did , nothing. Great Britain is fortunate in her American Ambassador. Our Minister at Washington, Sir Cecil Spring Bice, is, happily for England, not like Count Bernstorff. He is not ' an idealist, and is not fond of the interviewer; neither is he a lecturer. He is "a practical, levelheaded man of affairs. The real reasons why the Germans have made no headway is that England had an unanswerable case. Our cause was right. We went to war in defence of our treaty obligations; in support of a small nation whose territory was wantonly invaded; and we stood face to face with the immoral plea that (Continued on Page 4) tfirift -' i- ,v,i THE WESTERN CALL.

' "- 4| ^ ********************************************#**************< On August 3, 1914, forty-eight hours after.the, Swiss Federal Council had issued' orders1 for the. mobilization of the entire army, 300,000'men-stood at their appointed posts, ready to defend the sac- - red neutrality of their country.'*. -The ai xvmplish- ment of .this feat won the admiration bf ,eyen thi< . much engaged belligerent natlansr/or it famishes u eloquent nroof of Swiss military discipline and: ���������, efficiency;\ 0nl the Swiss mobilisation been ca.r. , tried out .with less promptitude, it' is -very ^owtit> f������l whether the .territory of the little Alp6ie>rer public would not have been invaded right at the beginning of German-French hostilities., ' Jt is interesting to note that in Europe^Swit- . zefland. with a population of 3,800,000, maintains the largest armed force proportionately. France comes second, Germany and Sweden third. The-1 other countries maintain from one soldier to every 110 inhabitants, in the case of Russia, to one soldier to every 170 inhabitants, in the case of Great Britain. - ' ' The per capita cost of the Swiss army in J9t0 was $2.25 of the British army $4, of the French army $3.35 and of the, German army. $������.10. The per, capita expenditure of the United States ia aboutfl, and according to the statistics of 1912; this country possesses an army of 176,016 including all non-combatant troops and the coaat artillery. The reason why the eost of the Swiss army is comparatively so small is entirely due to a rational military system; a system which is both economical and democratic in the truest sense of the word. The' army of the Swiss Confederation is a citizen army. Every Swiss citizen is liable to military service from his twentieth to his forty-eight year. The federal forces consist of "three divisions,? the so-called "Atiszug", the "Dand- wehr"- and the'*'Jjaihdstrum".'"���������'���������To the;Auszug or Elite belong the young mien up td the age , of 32; the Landwehr of First Reserve comprises the soldiers from 33 to 40 years of age and in the Landstrum or Second Reserve are incorporated vthe men from 41 to 48 years of age. X No Swiss citteerfc^ unless he is physically unfit or under the stipulated height of 5 feet 1 1-2 inches. Citizens who are liable to do military service and who are prevented from filling their duty on account of their residence in a forign country -are obliged to pay a regular military tax. This tax amounts to 6 fanes per man, with the addition of 1.30 francs (30c) for every 1,000 francs of private fortune he may possess. )tntntsitiif.ilistk%r VTVTr'l I' ���������* The. rich and thej>qor have to serve side by x Bide and there isno choice ,in the service, except that each man is at liberty" to. decide whether he ��������� would like'Jo belong'to the; infantry or cavalry, - as the, cavalry soldier has generally, to provide his ,;own hopae*^ ," -: - ';- ' - ' A * s i������\ -Military instruction is imparted at the expense /oftne S^i8s^Confe4eration by a special instruction corps, aided by the'off������cewko!/tbe higher and lower rank!

Since the year 1907, when a new military organization took place in the Swiss army, tbe cavalry and all the forces of the Auszug have to attend a yearly repetition course lasting 11 days. Formerly the cavalry alone had these yearly exercises, and the other sVvices attended a repe- _, titiojr course every-otber- year. The -Jjandwehr forces also have thejr repetition courses Vnt in their case they take place only once in four years. Special courses and training are, of course, ���������re- quired in the case of soldiers'who are desirious of advancing to a higher grade. There is' a central military college at Thun for the instruction of officers of the general staff and another for regimental .officers. "Infantry instructors receive their training in a school of that description at Basel and there are furthermore courses for shooting (especially for officers), also for ambularce work etc. ��������� ������������������.v.'"-X'.->x--; ;��������� .Every soldier is obliged, morover, to do a certain amount of rifle practice each year, and A record of his capacity in this line is carefully kept for him. It is therefore not to be Irondered at that all. the men are eager to produce good results. There is hardly a village which has not its own "SchutzengeseHschaftXi;e.rits ownlife chrtrand all these men take a pride in doing as much extra - practice in rifle shooting as time will, permit. This is the reason why the Swiss markesmen show a well nigh infallible accuracy and this also accounts for the fact that Switzerland attained for the fourteenth time out of. sixteen the world's championship on the occasion of the rifle-shooting contest at Camp Perry, Ohio, in September, 1913. A WARNING TO FARMERS DEATH MAT LUBK IN SILOS. The ."Journal of the American Medical Association" calls on papers with.a rural circulation to sound a warning in regard-to the. ���������silo, which is a common structure on the modern farin. It-appears that carbon" dioxide gas, most deadly; forms in silos, and that fatal accidents are likely to. happen if silos are not carefully ventilated before being entered by human beings. It appears that out in O- hio such an'accident has happened costing the lives of four workmen, who were employed on ihe farm of a. state hospital. These men went UP the ladder on the outside of the silo to an open door about twelve feet from the top and jumped down on to the silage, theV top of which was about six feet below the door. Five minutes later two other workmen did the same thing and" found the first fomk uricon������- scious. The bodies were at once taken out_ and the .doctors in the hospital were' immediately summoned, but were unable to resus- ciate any of the men. Tt is supposed that the carbon dioxide gas bad formed during the night, form ing a layer some six feet deep, into which the men jumped. The medical journal says the same thing may occur on any farm with a silo, hence the necessity for thorough yentuationX-St. Albans (Vt.)

A Remarkable Utterance By the Presbyterian Church of the United States yM 4< i'. X:: DEAD SEA FRUIT - ������, It i8 now a proven fact that for many years Germany haa been ^definitely preparing to im- poae her Imperial will ^upon the Nations. Her military and-naval preparations are and Jiave been very apparentfor the last five or vd yeara. It ia now known in taurines* circles that for more than a year previous to the outbreak of hostilities German bankers and "big business Germans all over the world were^p*ep$j*ing for "The Day," aa well as the army and pavy. * It waa known aaid openly asserted iii jnany quarters that Germaiiy waa preparing to wage a ruthless wax for universal supremacy, buVthat the whole German nation���������Kaiser, officers, preachers, professors, philosophers, cdnservatives, centrists, agrarians, liberals; and social democrats ���������would lay aside evfiiy principle ;������of honor, _, Aonesty and civiUrationViind become a great "rubber' band," restf^^fe^V ������od ������������7 through any method* that MM help them, to , conquer not only in militanr ntattew but also in ^umeree, was not ,e*eiis4^^ Germano-phobiflt centres.

The Master has said, "By tatir trntti j������ sh������U Jwfrw torn," ������������d this was said relatively to spiritual teachings. The fruits of German philosopher and religious jieg&tions are now before tjie "wprld and to destroy the froit without destroying ;th^ source from which this fruit has come is plain madness.

The chwreh must, not.be put in *1^tf WW.* Ipr&tcan;'IT������l������Ew By order of the General Assembly -of the Presbyterian Church in the United Statel, the following declaration on the essential principles of the Protestant Reformation: Whereas, Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and,��������� Whereas, There are" febundant indications' of, the need of directing the attention .of the t American people anew to the essential principles of the Protestant Reformation, which underlie the civil and religious liberty of our modern lif e,> insuring progress of thought "and increasing righteousness; therefore,��������� Resolved, (1) That the-General Assembly of; the Presbyterian Churph in the United States of, America calls upon its ministers to review with , their people the history of the great Reformation., period, to the end that the essential principles off Protestantism may be reaffirmed and re-empha- s. sized in the face of conditions that demand such reaffirmation and. re^emphasis/ ' > ; Resolved, (2) That the executive commission > of the General Assembly transmit this action to*! every presbytery, and adopt such measures aa". may be fdund necessary to carry out its pro--* visions during the year, 1915,.rwliich the assembly has already set apart for the special commemor-. ation of the life, labors and martyrdom of John" Hubs, one of the great pioneers of the Reforma-i- tion^movement. < i - The Presbyterian Church is -distinctly and^ \ unequivocally-committed to the principles of the' Reformation. They are engraved into the letter^ tod spirit of, ito doctrine and life- Without^ their assertion and activity its'existence and itsV right for existence cease, ^hey "carry in them the������t vitality of Protestantism, the culture of spirituati life, the progress ^of civilization, the fact of civiFi and religious liberty,'and the purity, Scriptural reality and influence of the church of Christi. The fundamental principles of the Reformation^ ^ar'e: u. / ^ 1. The absolute supremacy of the Word of God. The Reformation, unchained the.Bible. Ii dethroned councils and vaticans. Whatever help\ or illumination may be in, Christian conscious^ ness ' or cultivated scholaisticism or - _ drdained. priesthood, the supreme unquestionable authority, iniall matters of'faith or morals is the Word oil God. It is' the dominant authority in the soul of* the Christian, the.one textbook,of the ,chijrch|!! and the?supreme-study fl*tii4 lninuter.' This t*%t thority should, be emfiheaized. The formula' ofi' Chillingworth contindlsitrO be the expression o������- our faith: "The Bible, the whole Bible, and- rfothing but the'Bible is the religion of Prof testants.," Tb^e open Bible is the ehart of o American civilization, its ethics are onr efficient protection for~ public virtue ! 2. The absolute supremacy of the grace ol Christ. Justification is by faith alone. Thl ^toning tMWk^&^if^Qfcfa. isame principles be preserved. <��������� fccclesiasticism must be rebuked in any attempts for recognition and power through partisan politics. , The Christian citizen should guard the money and offices of the state against any encroachments by sectarian ambition, and our public officers should be compelled to hold churches aloof from the suspicion of such influences. The life of the republic lies in the separation of church and state. The five hundredth anniversary of the life and work bf John Huss gives welcome and needed occasion for the, reaffirmation of the principles of the Reformation. We suggest that during the coming winter and spring this special emphasis be made throughout the church. Let'the biographies and histories of. the Reformation have large place in the literature of the Christian home, in the columns of our church papers, the study classes of our missionary young people and men's societies, in*the themes of our pulpits, and on special occasions of presbyteries and synods; in order that the trust of the American republic may be conserved, that our free institutions may ' be transmitted in integrity and * righteousness, and the church of Christ may be held distinctly and exclusively to its supreme mission. -' This is one of the most remarkable'documents issued by ��������������� Protestant body in the last quarter '. of a century and bears the impress bf a n������w, life f1 ' in Protestant church circles that must be������ gratifying to* ev^ry lover of Truth and Liberty. ntt- A Letter from Sir R������W.

Regardless of class, one scarcely meets a^man or,woman here who does not devoutly wish"and pray for Germany's downfall." '"'..��������� My next correspondent is the president of one of the largest-and best known railways in the United States.^ He'says :^ "I share the belief that the Germans in building up their Navy are laying their plans for us quite as much as they are, for Ijlngland; and that Germany has' her teyes on. South. America, and proposes some day to, question the Monroe Doctrine with fleets and armies. } If, however, she is :, chastened, $ri I devoutly hope will be the case, we shall not need to worry. .Public sentiment in America is 'almost unanimously in favour of the Allies."-. A w������flI-kiK)WB[ banker in Chicago,, who visits Germany every year, .and left there a few days before^Wr was'declared,1 writes: . "England^ has-our full sympathy and beat wishes for.jits suedess in the present war, which >w$%roi_ght:on by^Germany." The following-is from a prominent New tvI Yorkerf .bearing a Scottish, name^ whose Jfore-~ fathersrleft Scotland in the, days,,of the.Young Pretender: "As a nation before the world we are neutral, and every effort, even to the point,of suffering some national indignity, will be used to keep us so.

IM������ MMIMHI111111III . & DOUGLAS ri-' ^ i<t * /1^ - From the "SUN" kkJv,,} A REAL CANDIDATE. The annouticeinent tbat Mr. G. S. , Douglas' will be a candidate for the mayoralty is''the best news of the week,''locally' at least. Mr. Douglas is, essentially the type of man who does honor to the office and he, of .. the three candidates in the field is the only one who has been sought out by the representative citizens of Vancouver. Although he occupied the occupied'the mayor's chair in 1909, he is far from, being a professional politician, and had retired definitely from public-life. Strangely enough, his opponents also have occupied the chief magistracy, in Ithe city, both for two years, but they are of an entirely different type. Both Mr.^Baxter and Mr. Taylor are office-seekers of the first degree. They have become perpetual candidates, it would ' seem, and although they may be admirable men, it cannot be said that they are creditable representatives for a city as large as Vancouver. Mr. Douglas is sincere . in :fcfc desire to keep out of the ring -1 aad Tt is greatly to his credit that he permitted himself to be over-ruled. Vancouver needs a strong nian at the halm, particularly a man who has made- a success of his own affairs and .whoscan be tristed with the larger ' and more responsible duties of a large ' city. Neither; Mr. Baxter nor Mr. Taylor has - eVjBr- distinguished himself during 'aiformeiC;term of office. Neither ' can claim, to lie" a success In his own ' business' and _ from alt appearances it' is {made obvious that" they are in poll. V ties' for tbe salary that goes with it,, Mr. Baxter has been a , jaek-of-all-,' trades.'*"Lawyer, school teacher^ furniture dealer and professional politician.' , His regime at the city hall has been " >>��������� racked by no constructive TefornXof t ;any deseriptionXWitb the* prospect of ^ , the openingrof tha Panama Cana} right V ,. before liim, the, mayor lias , done ncFV thing to .atimtt; \>mtom$q ���������������T������ie; t.-1 greatest vrvr affopif* mayor in tlie <���������;X city of Vanetasver. ,wa l>ave had fcard time's and me������y*misfortuneBf bat. tlie - *. mayor h������������ 4<me ootWucto prepwe for the good times that1 are bound to -*������������������ come. We .cannot- blame'Mr. - Baxter ��������� " for tbe financial .eonditions of Vancouver. He most be given credit for ,, accepting,a policy of practical.charity in the matter of' land clearing, bat it' cannot be sai<l that he himself has, ' been acti"������.in any measure. His obviously theatrical scheme of cutting salaries at the end of. bis present term, , thereby censing considerable hardship1 ' to certain classes of civic employees, will not bring him mucfc applause. Mr. Baxter is a man of small calibre. He is a shrewd ward politician and _has some superficial attainments as_a 'speaker and handshaker. He has done . the city no great damage, unless his advocacy'������f the False Creek may-be considered in tbe light of- a mistake, but he baa done the city no good. His opportunities have been many and results few. - ' As regards Mr. Taylor, one must regard him as a sort of annual disease. He runs for mayor as a part of his business and has been successful formerly. Swung in the balance with Mr. Baxter, one would be doing neither an injustice by saying tbat their weight is about equal, although Mr. Taylor's capacity for doing damage is somewhat greater than is that of his rival. Mr. Taylor, however, has been an absolute failure in his various undertakings. He is one man ia whom the citizens can place but little trust, for he has been found wanting too often, and, if one might attempt a mild pleasantry, too much. Next year should witness a remarkable change in the city's affairs. The Panama Canal will be open; there will be large expositions at both San Francisco and San Diego, and there will be a rush of immigrants to this country. What has been done to prepare for - thesef What has Mr. Baxter donef What reason does he advance why he should be re-electedt He has had two years and has accomplished���������nothing. Let us make 1915 a big year in the history of Vancouver. We need a man such as Mr. Douglas to take charge of affairs and put the city on a sound basis. A man of scrupulous honor and unquestioned ability, lie is entitled to the strongest support from the citizens who have the best interests of Van- ( couver at heart. Your Vote alict Influence as Chas.Dqug.las, Mayor of Vancouver in 19$* Candidate for Re-Election, 1915 : ___i,. ������������������������ MMMMMMM. Vole for On S, DOM '*JTC> LOWER TAXES From the "News-Advertiser" Another candidate for mayoralty honors is definitely in the field, the newcomer being Mr. C. S. Douglas, who was mayor of th^ city in 1909, and who was defeated in January, 1910, by Ex-Mayor L. D. Taylor. Thus two former opponents will again cross swords. Mr. Douglas has stated that among the planks in his platform will be retrenchment in civic expenditures and the reduction of the salary of mayor and aldermen. From the "Province" CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF CITY IN ��������� 1909 PROPOSES TO RUN ON ECONOMY TICKET. Mr. C. S. Douglas, who iwas mayor of Vancouver in 1909, has announced himself as a candidate for that office again in January. , He Btated his platform this morning to be civic economy, reduction of the salaries of mayor and aldermen,, and ( the, equalization of taxation. He told , The Province that he favored a return to the 25 per cenk tax ��������� on improvements which was in viogue during his last term of office. X'N '/ "It is, only fair that >e" should make ��������� tbe: owner of the big building pay for the extra expenditure, incurred ,on* his - behalf," he said.. "To tax/the im-v provements would be fairer on'> the poor man." " ,' ', - ��������� He added that it will be -imperative to reduce the tax rate to, 20 mills next , year, and to do this the tax jam im- provemente would be necessary./-_ He favored reducing "the salaries of mayor and aldermen considerably/ although " .he did not say they should be wiped out entirely. When be was mayor In 1909 he had to spend a great deal entertaining the city's guests. He, with one or two others) were hosts to Lord Strathcona that year. , "We want a mayor that does not favor tbe Canadian Northern Railway too much," he added. "We must see that it lives up to its agreement." He; had not wished til stand for mayor, but at the solicitation ,of some of his friends yesterday, be bad con- '~sented"to be a candidate " MB. C. 8. DOUGLAS, A FORMER *ATO| ANU WHwWoWW CmZEN, WILL ENTER FIELD FOR CHIEF MAGISTRACY. ' Another hat is in the mayoralty ring. Mr. C. S. Douglas, who had resisted all attempts to bring him into tbe campaign, finally succumbed.to the insistence of his many friends yesterday and last evening announced himself definitely as i candidate. Thia will come as good news to the citizen's of Vancouver. Mr. Douglas when mayor in 1909, proved to be one of^the most efficient and'popular men ever to have occupied the mayoral chair in Vancouver. Mr. Douglas has been intimately associated with the growth and prosperity of the city and has done a great deal to further the best interests of the community. "Some retrenchment of civic expenditures, the reduction of the mayor's salary, as well as that of the aldermen, and the equalization of taxation, will be the main; planks of my platform," said Mr. Douglas last 'evening. "I don't believe in cutting down the-firemen, policemen and ' other underpaid employees of the; city, but I do think that in other cases it works no hardship." ;X'- .-���������-���������: :V::--- V .
