V That this constitutes a danger in v inter- national politics seems beyond dispute. Not that war with tlie United States under Wilson and Bryan is to be feared, for they are avowed ''pacifists" of the most pronounced type;0but . all the more conscious of their peaceful inten- tions they are apt to; push negotiations to a Soint that will raise considerable hard feelings etween the great English-speaking peoples.; Herein lies the danger, for that the Germans are, secretly, organizing raids on Canada is as' sure as that, we are at war with Germany. What they are waitings lor ia an American sentiment that will make the success of such raids possible. The American people are notorious "fttli- ;busters," and granted a hostile sentiment aroused over the British and French fleets stopping and searching steamers carrying American cargoes, the danger of raiding will become ra^iteX^-==x="=Xxxra"^^ "The United States has no organized force capable of stopping a resolute movement of this kind and that the Germans are resolute has been proved to a finish. The Allies will not give way in their "right of search." That is a certainty as long as Kitchener is at the helm.' v.

Dear Sir: As there seems to be some confusion in regard to whether or not a candidate for Mayor or Alderman must be entered on the Voters' List, I would be glad if you would give' publicity in your paper to the following quotations from the Vancouver City Charter: The Charter provides that in 'addition to other qualifications the candidate must be "otherwise qualified as a voter." Then part, of the qualification for a voter is that he or she 'lis entered on the Voters' List." It would therefore seem plain that no person can be qualified to become a candidate for the office of Mayor or Alderman unless entered upon the Voters' List as a voter. I have before advised enquirers that entry on the Voters' List "in the ward in which they are nominated" is not absolutely necessary; but being on the Voters' List some place in the City, is, of course, necessary, but-I am told that there is an idea prevalent that it is not necessary to be on the Voters' List at all, which, of. course, is a false impression. Yours truly, J. G. HAY, v City Solicitor. fm. L"^3 ["^3 RflTJ LM ������������������ ;��������� ��������� ���������**���������<*.<:;<:������������������������.' XV my sir Cold vs. Warm Houses. As has been stated, the cold house is not satisfactory simply because it is cold, but because suitable conditions can be more easily obtained. A house built warm; enough to keep water from freezing is, hard to ventilate. Should the windows be used for this purpose, the house is cold anyway, and the extra expense is hot practical. Ventilation must be provided even if., the heat is sacrificed. Should artificial heat be introduced, it is hard to keep it uniform; and experience has shown, that there is more sickness in a heated house, and poorer fertility from the hens. It is not claimed that a warm house may not provide just as many eggs for the time being, but the fertility is poorer and the strength of the germ weaker, and, if warm houses are used, each succeeding year witnesses a flock of poultry with a weaker constitution.���������-Mac- donald College.

MISCELIjANEOUS MANY JEWS DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES. Number of Refugees and Destitutes Due to War Approximates Two Millions. New York.���������Approximately 2,000,000. Jews have been driven from their homes in Russian Poland, according to a cablegram from the Petrograd < office of the Jewish Colonization Association, made public here today by the American Jewish relief committee. The message, in part, read as follows: ,, "The Jews-of all Russian Poland, and the greater part of the Jews in the provinces of Kovno, Vilna, Grodno, Volniya, Pedolia and Bessarabia, are suffering. The number of refugees and destitutes approximates 2.000,000- Extreme distress also prevails among the Jews in the Galician provinces occupied by the Russian armies." - CHOLERA CULTURES AS WEAPONS OF WARFARE. ��������� Foreign Austria General Favored Their Use- . Minister Opposed It. Petrograd.���������The Army Messenger, a newspaper issued hy the staff of the armies at the front, has now learned that the use of cholera cultures as a weapon of modern warfare was proposed officially by General von Hkthendorf for use against the Russians and Servians. General con Hethendorf's proposal was presented to the supreme military council of Austria and warmly opposed by Count Berchtold who threatened that if such a message were formally sanctioned he would resign his official post. The Army Messenger, by the way, is the official organ of. the Russian army during this war. It was created after the armies had got to work, and is circulated practically only at.the front. It is a perfectly trustworthy organ.

It is from the pen of a man who all his- life has had business and social connections in Germany, France, Austria, Russia and Belgium, and who has held for many years' a* seat, as Director .on the Board of Industrial Companies in Berlin, Cologne, Paris and Brussels. In later years his business connections have been extended to America, so that his opportunities for coming to a sound opinion on economic and political matters have been considerable. He writes from Glasgow, Scotland, as follows: "It seems quite funny to read and answer now your remarks regarding the war and your hope that it 'would not amount to much.' It is the most Jiorible war that has ever been waged on earth���������at least so far aa is known to history���������and the worst of it is one cannot see the end. "One .thing is certain, we can never afford to make peace now, until the Prussian military autocracy is ground into very fine powder and their powers of working mischief in the next generation reduced to a nullity. "So far, everything is going as well for us as we could reasonably have expected and the prospects appear quite encouraging. "Many people think the war may last two or even three years, but my opinion is the economic pressure on Germany will soon become so terrible that���������it is quite on the cards���������we may have peace signed in Berlin on onr terms by July or August of next year (1915). "Of course N is with his regiment. D has enlisted and has received a commission as Lieutenant in 'Tullabardine's Horse,-' in which there are very many gentlemen serving as privates. They expect to be ordered to the front very soon now. "Kitchener is a great man for 'training/ and I hear there was nearly a revolt among the Canadian troops because they were not sent out at once, but. were sent to Salisbury Plain to train. . "Little F got safely; back from Germany a>out a month after war brojee out. C- only got back fronr Austria on the very day war was declared (Both are girls). Jj has joinedtyhe artillery and has got a commission as Lieutenant." This letter is dated the 18th of. November, 1914. ' A SHEEP BUW,J3TJN. 'CANADA'S BALLY TO THE EMPIE-E."

Statesmen and newspapers the ..world over commented on it and cried: "Bravo, Canadai" The Illustrated London News said the arrival was "an event unparalleled since William the Conqueror." It was truly a magnificent spectacle to see this great fleet setting sail, a sight never before seen on Canadian shores. News of the departure was censored and kept so secret that few indeed were on the scene, to see the big ships weigh anchor on the Oaspe coast. This spectacle would have been lost to the people of Canada had not The Family Herald and Weeklv Star of Montreal had their staff, of photographers there to reproduce it. Their photos of the greet flotilla are the best piece 01 photographic work in the history of the art. They secured a panoramic view showing miles and miles of the great troopships and battleships ss they swung into line on the way to the Atlantic. In this picture The Family Herald and Weekly Star certainly possesses a treasure. It will be the greatest Canadian Souvenir of the War. It is 13% inehes deep by 46 inches in length. It is reserved exclusively for Family Herald and Star subscribers, and all who become subscribers for 1915. The picture will be. sent free to anyone sending one dollar for a year's subscription to that great paper. The demand is already enormous, and every home in Canada will want it. It will be Canada's great memento, and years hence, when neighbors are gathered discussing the great war, this picture will point the story. It will have a priceless value.

The text of the message addressed to the Moslems in India and in other British dominions by the Aga Khan, declaring that Turkey, having allowed herself to be made the tool of Germany, no longer ia the trustee of Islam, ia given aa follows in the Calcutta ' 'Englishman:" "With deep sorrow I find that the Turkish Government, having joined hands with Germany, acting under German orders, is madly attempting to wage a most unprovoked war against such mighty sovereigns as the King- Emperor and the C?ar of Bussia. This is not the true and-free will of the Sultan, but of German officers and other non-Moslems who have forced him to their bidding. Germany and Austria have been no disinterested .friends of. Islam, and while one took Bosnia the other has long been plotting to become the suzerain of Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, including Kerbale, Nejef and Bagdad. "If Germany succeeds, which heaven forbid, Turkey will become -only a vassal of Germany, and the Kaiser's resident will be the real ruler of Turkey, and will control the holy cities. No Islamic interest was threatened in this war, and our religion was not in peril, nor was Turkey in peril, for the British and Bussian empires and the French Republic had offered to solemnly guarantee Turkey all her territories in complete independence if she had remained at peace. -"''_��������� "Turkey was the trustee of, Islam, and the whole world waa content to let her hold our holy cities in her keeping. Now that Turkey has so disastrously shown herself a tool in German hands she haa not only raifted herself but has lost her position of trustee of Islam and evil will, overtake, her. Turkey haa been persuaded to draw the sword in. an unholy cause from which'she could not be -ruined, wh&tevtr else' bap- pened, and she will lose* her position as a, great nation, for such mighty sovereigns as the King- Emperor and the Czar can never, be defeated. ' .:.' ' "Thousands of "Moslems are fighting for their sovereign al-; ready, and all men must see ttat Turkey has not gone to war for the cause of Islam 6r ������or. the defence of her independence. Thus our only duty as Moslems now is to remain loyal, faithful and - obedient to our temporal 'and secular allegiance." The Aga Khan is the religious leader of the Ismailiah section of . Mohammedans. He is believed by his followers to be a descendant of Mohammed's daughter Fatima.' Like his father and grandfather, the latter the first Aga Khan, he is a strong supporter- of the' British Government in India. He has the title of "His Highness" from the British Government and has been decorated by- the Kaiser and by the Sultan of Turkey in recognition of his services.

In other words, the United States believes .that the Kaiser and his junkerdom are the aggressors in this greatest of all crimes that has beset the human race. And yet the great American people amoves not a finger to quench this awful conflagration! True, president Wilson has, by proclamation, set apart a day on which all Americans should father in their churches and pray to God to' ring the war to an end. And we believe in prayer; we believe also that while men pray they should not faint and that when men or nations really pray they get strength to work out the answer to their prayers. , We believe.that the United States never sent V a truer prayer to God than when Pewey said: "When you are ready, Gridley, fire!" We also believe that all -the prayers the United States can now utter will not lift the "Curse of Meroz" that today Is"her's because "they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty." God, or Providence, or History; or whatever you like to call it, never forgives a blunder or ��������� sin of - this description. - It is always- wiped out_ " in blood. Can anyone doubt that had the United States - ranged herself with Britain against the tearing up of the treaty that guaranteed Belgian neutrality that Germany would have halted 1 . Instead, the United States is busy praying for peace and supplying the combatants, with.ail" materials necessary to carry on a protracted war~ From the President's initiative, .the Halls of Congress and the daily press, the idea seems to . be that: "It's an ill wind blows nobody good," and that whilst America deplores and prays that the war may cease, still she sees the unrivalled opportunity of gathering in the commerce and industries of the nations engaged' in the death struggle. Can anyone believe that the United States will get away, with this? Once to every man and nation comes the moment t ' to decide In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side; >' Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering o each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right, And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that dark- '* ness and that light. ���������James Russell Lowell. ************'M^**********<i*****A'**^^^ I BE PREPARED! % Every Canadian should protect himself and * family by carrying a policy in MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA Established 1869 * ���������5s f "CANADA'S ONLY MUTUAL" t % - For rates and full information see our l! agents, or * W.

X Germany is demanding a new indemnity from; Belgium, this time one of-seventy, million dollars. From every point of view that we can see, it is an abominable imposition. Bight after the outbreak of war, Germany, through her chancellor, admitted that she was doing a wrong by invading Belgium on her way to what she expected to be the conquest of France. She did not fight with - Belgium, but she forced Belgium to yield her the use of her highways to^ France and to the sea at Ostend. That Belgium was bound to object to 'this Germany cannot deny, having herself admitted that she was doing a wrong in breaking a treaty, to which Belgium was the party of the . first part, and by violating the neutrality of a power with which she had no cause for dispute. Having gone in'and murdered the Belgians���������and it cannot be called anything else than murder to ,jgo into a country with which one has no quarrel, and kill its.-inhabitants because they object��������� Germany then proceeded to take from those inhabitants; mostly women and children who stayed in their own homes, their supplies of food and their farm crops. Having done this and reduced ' the people to starvation, Germany had tjie impu- " dence to declare Belgium to be a part of' Germany, and after thus annexing it, to continue' to treat the inhabitants as enemies by refusing to provide them with food, though Germany of- . ficially continues to tell us that she has lots of- food for her own people. * j&b if ^o pile injury, and! insult/ on injury and instilt; Germany having al* ready plundered the cities to exhaustion at the ;,must&e of the nfle, now extorts, from a starving , nation, the sum; of seventy million dollars. i That - is conduct becoming to brutes, not men. Her evident.'intent is to-take from the Belgian people everything they have, leaving them destitute, ^to be fed and clothed by the outside world. It is this conduct on-the part of Germany that is. making people formerly inclined 'to look on/her, actions with leniency, turn bitter against her.��������� Montreal Witness. _. .. ������������������_! tt*' ������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������<,.+������������������������+���������+������������������������+.������������+������������������4������������,������a+������+ -.:; ���������u, Electors of War4 Six: :fi " Your influence and votes are so-' \ licited for ���������ftftQMS k as alderman for Ward Six during 1915.������ +���������+���������+���������������������������+���������+->.+���������.���������,+.+������+,+,+���������+���������������������������������������+������������������ License .

Britain has loaned the Union $35,(^)0,000 for the purpose. Already recruiting has been brisk, and Scottish, Irish and English regiments have been raised to co-operate with the loyal. Boers in operations against tne enemy in South Africa. The Germans have invaded Union territory and strongly entrenched themselves, the point chosen being one that makes the carrying on of a campaign replete with difficulties. On the first outbreak of war a force of two hundred and fifty Germans attacked the Union post at Nakob, about three miles from the German military post of the same- name.' These points are situa.ed on the Orange River at the extreme southeast corner of Namaqualand (German Southwest Africa). The Union garrison, consisting of only eight police, resisted until their ammunition was entirely exhausted. The assault was made at daybreak, the Germans swarming up on two sides, killing two of the garrison anil taking three prisoners. The rest made good their escape, after the defenders had fired the 700 rounds in their possession. The Germans captured all the cattle in the district and took all the natives prisoners. Well over the British border are the Upington kopjes, and these were held in force by the Germans. Boer Women Fight Thirty miles down the Orange River, at Schuit Drift, a German patrol attacked a force of Afrikander refugees on an island in the river. The Germans, after a brisk engagement, were? repulsed, and left behind one sergeant killed, one man wounded and one taken prisoner. The Germans called upon the Dutch-speaking people to surrender,their cattle, but the Afrikanders went into laager and defied the Germans. The Boer women helped the men to throw up trenches, and some of them 'assisted'on the firing line. Schuit Drift is fifty miles from Nakob, where the Germans- first crossed, and shows that the invasion of the Union of South Africa,is seriously con-/ templated by the military commanders bf German Southwest Africa. r t Airship Ovar Johannesburg. Johannesburg is about'450 miles from the German border, and .the distance could be covered in eight hours by a Zeppelin airship.V Mysterious aircraft have been sighted" at different places far from German territory, and one circled over Johannesburg, hovering over"^ the city for nearly an hour, and then disappearing iu the direction of the West Rand. / Botha {to Command, x '.,- General Botha, the Premier,'-will have com-' mand of the Union troojjs that are to form the expedition for the invasion of the German colony, and a strategic line of railway is being built from Prieska, in the Cape, to Upington, on the Orange River, which will have an important bearing on the South African campaign. Sand storms and sand dunes are the natural characteristics of the area between Upington and the border: Feyr undertake the journey save in the . wet season, as, apart from the Orange Rivfer, there is no water available for many miles. Horses and mules give place to camel teams, and it is here the camels supplied by India may be employed in transporting guns and supplies. It is a fortnight's trek from Upington to the border and' water must be carried in carts. A species of melon that abounds in this arid area supplies moisture to travellers who'have run short of water. But sand is the staple product, and all the police troopers in this Sahara ride camels. For hundreds of miles on every hand the sand dunea rise and fall with monotonous regularity. A few kraals of Hottentots herding goats that draw sustenance from the parched roots of, the "salt bush" are met with occasionally, but these are the'only livings things encountered on the march through the desert. The "Dead Ind" ef South Afriea. . ���������* MOSLEM EGYPT'S LOYALTY. ������������ Rietfontein is^the last police station between Upington and the German border, and is only equalled in its dreariness by the "dead end" of Australia. It is through this territory that Botha will likely strike at the Germans, and the difficulties of his task are appreciated by all military men who know the country. But the obstacles in the way of' the German invaders are equally great. They must bring their supplies long distances over the sands and carry water for man and beast. The Orange River is a big asset, as it is nearly three-quarters of a mile wide at certain places during the wet. season. An important oasis, Eahamas, lies between Upington and the border. Eahamas has large areas under irrigation, andfis a Dutch Reformed Church settlement. It will probably figure in the fighting between Botha's force and the Germans. It has an inexhaustible water supply all the year round from the Orange River. After leaving this fruitful oasis the traveller must journey by camel to the, border. The whole country round is like a petrified seal Germans 3,000 Strong. In selecting this district as the point of invasion the Germans will be handicapped from the outset by the necessity of taking their commissariat with them. They are reported to be several thousand strong, ^.'bushman's diet of insects and dried melons does not offer'much sustenance, tb an army of 3,000 on the march. Every fifty miles may be found a farm set in a sea,of sand, but the family living on it can hardly obtain a livelihood.. There is nothing to spare for the invading locusts. The long summer is now on, and will continue to the end of April. The summer heat rises to 110J degrees in the shade, but the nights 9>re cool. Night marches, and attack at dawn will be the order of battle in this sand! swept,, sun-baked region. Native* Dislike Qermans. Thousands of the natives have fled during the past years from German territory, and have been absorbed by the Union of South Africa in mining and agricultural industries. German rule is not liked by the natives, and they escape from under it where possible. Strategic Points. Upington, Prieska, Eenbardt, the Orange River���������these places on the fringe of civilization will iu the coming campaign acquire historical interest, for it is in this region the Germans have elected to. harass British South Africa, and so prevent the Union lending material assistance to the Allies on European soil. Turkey "Doomed to Destruction Cairo. ��������� The Council of All Chiefs of the Ulema, composed of the -leading Moslem religious authorities in Egypt, has published' an important proclamatipn urging Egyptian Moslems-to maintain a calm and peaceful attitude. ^��������� **��������� After invoking Allah and his, pro'phet, who counselled mankind' to love peace and avoid ������trife, the Ulema remind their flock that. Providence has spared. Egypt the horrors and sacrifices of ther present war,, which has spread to one state after another; therefore it is their duty to remain calm and confident, to behave with discretion, and to let reason guide their acts, to avoid gatherings. when idle words might be spoken, and to shun intrigues and sowers of discord and ignorant or interested counsellors from whom good cannot come. v The appeal is signed by twenty- seven Ulema, including the Sheik- Islam of Egypt, who is also Rector of Al-Azhar, the famous university, the Vice-Rector, the Grand Mufti, and all the chiefs of different, ritete. .; The, chief religious Shieks of the Soudan have spontaneously' addressed a communication to the Governor-General expressing on behalf of the whole population their loyalty to the Government. They refer generally to the benefits conferred by British rule, and in particular to the sympathy which has always been shown to their religion, the justice which has been meted out to them, the educational advantages given their children, and the help afforded to the pilgrims to Mecca.
