'HE OLD AND THE HEW GERMANY fO REALIZE WHAT ''The Great Change" really is, we have but to recall Ihe War of" 1870 and th Germany we knew for almost a feneration afterwards. That was a Germany which the memories of Goethe, Schiller, Kant, |r Heine had not died; in which the kindly simplicity of a strong race continued and prospered; infewhich we experienced ther vaguely pleasant appeal composed of music, sentimentalism, j>londe hair and blue eyes, excellent beer, large [luantities of wholesome food, simple and genuine jiospitality. The test of sudden prosperity has fhanged all this, and given the nation all those .pleasant positive characteristics which are |)bservable in the worst type of "self-made in," of nouveau riche, together with that fatal defect, for nations as for individuals��������� ltter loss of all philosophic humour and all )ower of self-criticism. As John Galsworthy Ivrote to Andre Chevrillon, "there is in the blood V the French and British a salt which inclines ������ur peoples to individual liberty and to those lemocratic forms of government which alone ermit of enough philosophic humour and self- briticism to keep patriotism sober." In modern Germany we see patriotism run mad; and the process by which the whole nation has been j?hanged is only now observable. The psychologi- sal problem involved is of profound interest. It mflfled some ef our best men until the outburst of last August made it clear to us all.- , WINTER IS COMING |N A SHORT TIME winter will be upon us with unusually aggravated demands upon us for "relief." What are we doing as a City, as a province? This is most assuredly our responsibility and lere excuses will not do. We must ACT. Again we .plead with the City Council to Iwake up." X -*\. PROHIBITION [HE WORD "PROHIBITION" is, perhaps, unfortunate; it gives the impression of coersion, and many will oppose the. cause because of le,T name. Is it not possible,- at.the.\iortheom-,. ig-convention to'coin a-new''haniev?;' OurXib-1 get-is not to force men to do anything agaipst tieir will, 4>ut rather to abolish^ or- eradicate a raffle which is proven a curse. Several very estimable and responsible citi- lens recently waited, upon the Premier of the province to urge the government to refuse any jieasure which would give effect to the growing |entiment in favor of abolition of the liquor raffle. These gentlemen speak only "for them- eives, they do not represent a definitely organ- ted section of society. Those who interview- Id the Premier previously in favor of the move- Lent did represent a very large body of society; large section of the community, and we urge our [hey went with a strong mandate from a very lagacious and much respected Premier to give }ar to their request. | The government has the right to demand a iefinite expression of public opinion, but they" jnust bear in mind that on them rests the responsibility of providing the medium through whjch luclr opinion may be" expressed. - f We want no undue delay. It will not do [o put it off/until after an election. We ask toly for a fair and square deal, with the privilege of majoriti/ rule. This we aek, this \ve have a right to receive, this, we are sure, sane government will readily grant. > t THE MOSQUITO FLEET If the news published in Washington describing the new British motor patrols is correct the .errnan submarine will be less of a menace in |_uturc. These motor patrols have been spoken )f as "whippets' a whippet being an extremely jfast dog of the greyhound type used in coursing, fl'be motorboats are to ' course' the German submarines,, are fitted with gas engines, and Itheir speed will range from thirty to sixty Jki]ot8 an hour. They will mount one or two [quick-firers,-..and their speed, small size- and lability to turn and dodge will make them almost ���������invulnerable to underwater attack. Thousands of Jthese boats are reported to be in process, of [construction, and orders for 500 are now being [filled in the United States. They will all have [searchlights, and groups of them will act as [convoys to merchantmen within the submarine [/zone. . ..."' X'V. XX 'X -Xx XX.

It is reported that another White Star liner Avas sunk < by the Germans this morning. THE GERMAN WAB BOOK IN PROP. MORGAN'S brilliant edition of The Usages of War on Land, originally issued by the Great General Staff of the German Army, and lately published in the English version, by Mr. John Murray, the definite policy actually inspiring these actions, which might otherwise have been considered to be the accidental results of momentary passion, is definitely laid down. "A war conducted with energy," says' this gruesome volume, "cannot be directed merely against the combatants of the Enemy State and the positions they occupy, but it will and must in like manner seek to destroy the total intellectual and material resources of the latter. Humanitarian claims, such as the~ protection of men and their goods, can oniybe taken into consideration in so far as the nature and object of the war permit. Consequently, the 'argument 'of war' permits every belligerent state to have recourse to all means which enable it to obtain the object of the war; still, practice has taught the advisability of allowing in one's own interest the introduction of a limitation in the use of certain methods of war and'a total renunciation of others. Chivalrous feelings. Christian, thought, higher civilization, and by no means least of all, the recognition of one's own advantage, have led to a voluntary and self-imposed limitation." v The Germans are erecting a monument in j Gotha showing ~ a Taube monoplane on a pedes- ptal of red marble six feet high. In front is seen a German soldier in a fighting'attitude, and l-two sides of the pillar show Paris and. Dover; where the Taubes have operated. AGRICULTURAL CREPJT IN SPAIN THE PROVISION OF CREDIT is one of the ' most urgent and difficult problems wbich remains to be solved^ in the agricultural econ- omy of Spain. In spite of the fact that a- number of bills have been laid before parliament, none has so far passed into law, and the demand for the organization of adequate credit institutes becomes day by day more insistent. The public authorities have recognized the urgency of the problem and for. some time past have been seeking a solution. In the absence of any special credit system the steps taken by them have been in the direction of strengthening and developing such institutions as already exist. The .institutions towards which the authorities have directed their attention are the old-established positos, institutions resembling the Italian monti frumentari or the Portugese cel.leiros, which rendered such excellent service to Spanish agriculture in its apogee. These institutions the authorities are endeavoring to adapt to the requirements of present-day agriculture V. '_ The first step was .taken in 1906 when a Royal Commission was appointed to enquire into the property held by the^ positos, to crill in their outstanding loans, and turn their assets into cash. In addition to discharging its purely economic functions the Commission has been able to examine minutely the working of the positos, noting both their defects and their advantages. It was found that there very often existed, in the same district, positos which had abundant funds lying idle because there were no borrowers and others which were compelled to suspend operations from lack of funds. Upon the lines indicated, the Minister for Agriculture and Commerce, Mr. Ugarte, following the modern economic and sociological ideas, determined to organize the positos in federations. This is the reason for the Royal Decree of October 16, 1914, which permits positos already in existence, or which may be formed later, to form provincial federations. The main object of the federations will be to enable institutions with an excess of funds to lend to institutions in the same federation 'which are short of funds. They will be empowered also to make advances to agricultural associations, chambers of agriculture, savings ���������banks, co-operative associations and other similar institutions which are able to give proof of their; solvency. For tbis purpose they will utilize the funds lying idle in the.positos or deposited with the Bank of Spain: . The .interest On the loans/yvill be 4 per cent, which will be distributed -thus: 3 per cent, to the posito providing the funds and 1 per cent to the federation as its legal due. X This organization of the positos must be absolutely voluntary; the provisions of the decree are merely the rules for the constitution of federations. Nevertheless, the decree states that in future.- in the matter of grants and increases in capital, preference will be given to such positos as are organized in federation. Finally, the decree announces that when the organization of the positos has been effected steps will be taken to furnish the federations with capital x>f their own so that they may become district .credit institutes. This is a provision of great importance illwhich indicates clearly the lines upon which it is intended that State action shall be directed. n SIB BOBEBT BORDEN AMIDST THE TITANIC responsibilities which now rest upon our great Prime Minister, . he finds time for special work He has given special consideration to our needs in B. C, and has taken up the question of securing from the Admiralty the release of sufficient "tonnage" to handle our -lumber trade. No other man in Canada could have done this, and we owe him a debt of-gratitude. ., Second only to this debt to SirlRobert is onr obligation to Sir Geo. Foster, who some months ago appointed Mr. McMillan as special representative of his department to advance the interest of the B. C. lumber trade. His work has been so successful that we now have several large orders for B. C. timber. It is also well to note that Mr. McMillan received valuable assistance from Sir Geo. Perley, High Commissioner, in London. THE WORLD'S OAT PRODUCTION THE FOLLOWING TABLE giving the world's production of oats does not include the fig-? ures for Greece, Portugal, Servia, Turkey in Europe and Asia, Mexico, China, Persia. Peru, Uruguay, and the Union of South Africa, for which there are no agricultural statistics at all' or else only data for some separate years,, and which thus do not enter into the return, of the world's production, the average production may be-estimated for the groups at about 40V to 50 million bushels. On adding these 50 millions to Xhe 4,120 of the harvest year, 1914? and4914-*5 ���������������������������������# 'obtain a total world's production of 43-TO million bushels in round numbers. Hence the table of the world's production includes about 99 per cent, of the total world's oat crop and may be considered to be complete. Countries Bushels Prussia 385,747,000 Germany (less.

Totals 4,120,591,000 THE WORLD'S CORN PRODUCTION THE WORLD'S PRODUCTION return does not include the production in the following countries to the Institute for some of which the maize crop is of fairly considerable importance: France, Greece, Portugal, Servia, Turkey in Europe and in Asia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Gautemala, Mexico, China, India, Algeria, Chili, Peru, Union of South Africa and the Dutch East Indies. For the above group of countries the average yield may be estimated at about 492 million bushels, which being added to the 3,688 million of the harvest year 1914 and 1914-15 give a total world ^production of 4,180 .million bushels in round figures. The following table for the world's production includes therefore only about 88 per cent, of the total maize crop.

More startling still are tbe facts if we total our military bills for army, .nay.vv_and_pensions When the^great-war began- they were nearly $487,000,000 a year, not including some $10,000,000 paid by the States for militia���������more than any other nation on earth then spent for military purposes. Great Britain in 1914 was spending 230,- 000,000 for navy, $120,000,000 for army, and $20,000,000 for army pensions; Russia,$285,000,- 000 for army, $122,000,000 for navy; Germany, .$300,000,000 for array, $114,000,000 for navy; France, Italy and Austria-Hungary were well behind. Our 1913-1914 army cost of .$173,000,000 equalled that of Germany before the Imperial Array Act of 1913 in preparation for the present war Our naval cost of nearly $140,000,000 was second only to Britain's. Our pension bill of .$173,000,000 admitted of no comparisons whatever. There was nothing like it. Ex-President Taft computes that our active army costs... $1,200 for each man. The League figures a ten-year total cost of $10,000 a man. -A-large standing army on such terms is out of the'.question. For years we have been spending more than any other country for war purposes, past and future, without getting the worth of our money. It is. time for a change���������New York World. ?%&#' Miners in the Mons region of Belgium are on 'strike and a clash with German soldiers is said 0 to have resulted in the death of two of the military and seven miners. Disorders also are reported at Cai'leroi, a result of the high cost of food, due to the pillaging of. the shops. German troops are said to have charged a crowd of civilians, killing ten and wounding forty. J?our battalions of Landsturra have been sent to .Mons and Charleroi. XXV Total .....: .....3,687,701,000 Over 80,000.men have now been sent from Canada for service at the front. There have been about- 13,000 casualties, so that there are still 67,000 fighting men in England and France. This makes two army divisions. There are nearly 65,000 "men in training at the present time at the various camps in Canada, and there is a proposal under consideration by the Ottawa militia-authorities to ereate four Canadian army divisions���������two at the front and two to continue training in England and to;Offct as reinforcements for the two in the _*0jg^ingi line. Xv mnt*mwem^emwmwm :,:;?1^.^;-'*!i; if^^^^^^^i^i^^������ Mi ������#��������� ������1 Ss i> \ H. 11 V m The following stirring patriotic address was delivered by Rev. A. K. MacLennan, D.D., pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, Nanaimo, at the opening of a patriotic concert recently given in that city: "One year ago the fiery summons went forth from the heart of Britain calling all loyal citizens to gather around the flag which is synonymous and emblematic of the truest liberty the world has ever seen- On this day the armaments of the greatest civilized nations of. the world plunged into the most deadly conflict of the world's history. The empire has been and still is imperilled, but Britain's subjects have fought and will fight. It is an extreme moment in our history and in such extremity there is no choice. The Lord of Slaughter and Frightfulness has issued the call too, and the .heartiest response came from the Dual Monarchy. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of well equipped men prepared by forty years training gathered around him. Science has been made the remorseless enemy of mankind by ��������� German' kultur. It has destroyed all the simplicity and gentleness of life and marring the beauty of the world. It has restored barbarism under a( mask of civilization and has darkened men's,minds and hardened their . hearts. It has brought in a time of great conflicts before which these pale into insignificance the thousands of wars of old, and it may yet overwhelm all the labor- ( ious advances of mankind in blood-drenched chaos. In this crisis England began to gather her .children about her. They came from all quarters of the globe. Her nobles, often accused of leading luxurious lives and of indifference to social injustice, put their lives in her hands, not only - with alacrity but with glowing enthusiasm. Even the races that have been subject to her, rallied about her and never in her long history, full of peril and vie issitude has. Britain and her col onies shown a more heroic spirit than in this day when she is fighting for her life. "The. monument at the Pass of Thermopylae bore this inscription: 'Go, stranger, and tell Lace- daemonia tbat we died for our country and in obedience to her laws.' The memory of her heroic deeds and of her heroic men lives in immortal freshness though the names have not been recorded, and so rightly will our heroes who have come from every eity and town and village and hamlet and rural district in Brit-, ain and Canada tho' they may nflAH avsrav fiwin' .m.w oJ-1,* i_ j._.j_ ' awful war, they will live in our memory in immortal freshness. It is well to get the act thoroughly grounded in our memories that Europe has not been convulsed by a mere quarrel over so many leagues of territory and so many millions of treasure. No, we have taken sides in a far more awful conflict, the conflict of hostile ideas which admit of. no possible compromise until the pernicious effects of Germany's damnable doctrine will be wiped from the face of the earth* German victory would mean the triumph in Europe of brute force. Before permitting that it is our duty to fight without thinking of what may befall us. To give up fighting now would be to give up and betray our past, our ideal, our holy vocation. We must hurl defiance against the hateful challenge of Germany. We must not listen at this stage of the conflict to the friendly advocates of peace. We cannot be lured by the favorite formula about the sac- redness of business life. There is a cardinal fallacy concealed in this formula. There are many things which are more sacred to me than my life. My loyalty to Christ is infinitely more sacred* The authority of truth is more sacred. The moral, the intellectual, yes, and the well being of my fellow men must-be more sacred to me than life. It. is not man's life that is sacred, but, man himself and if for the maintenance of the true worth and dignity of man it is necessary that life should be surrendered it must be surrendered without shirking. Surely it would be a grievous, calamity to the world if Britain1! did not arm in this conflict. We welcome all comers to our shores and give them free citizenship and we govern these great Dominions imperially. The title 'British Empire' could be replaced by another, viz., "British Commonwealth' all divisions of which are loyal to the British throne and continuity of British political life while each of them is self- governing. We all speak of Britain as home, and when tbe awful news of the outbreak of war flashed along the cables a year ago the home love and loyalty of all British subjects came up to a passion of enthusiasm and all her colonies sent tbe flower of their youth to help the British cause which tbey recognized as their own cause* ^sxmmm^mmmmMmmsMmmjmmjsmiMmLjmmm^ Trout FiBhing���������Daisy Lake���������P.

"Buy Goods Made at Home, and get both the Goods and the Money.'' J New railroads invariably mean new opportunities, and never more so than in the case of the Pacific Great Eastern, which will eventually connect Vancouver with Prince George and thus by way of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad to the Atlantic ocean. The 469 miles between Vancouver and Prince George presents opportunities in almost every known activity, both for pleasure and business. The principal section of the line now in operation is between Squamish aud Lillooet���������a distance of 120 miles. Squamish is reached daily from Vancouver by boats of the Terminal Steamship Co. From the sightseer's viewpoint it is doubtful whether on a thousand miles of any other railroad there is such a wealth and variety of natural'beauty to be viewed from the car window, as on this 120-mile stretch of P. G. E. track. From sea level to varying altitudes up to 2,000 feet, passing, rugged, snow-capped mountains and fertile -valleys (settled to some, extent for many years) winding through mighty canyons and gorges, past wondrous rock effects carved by the waters of bygone ages; alongside turbulent mountain streams, often ending in waterfalls of crystal loveliness; on the shores of placid lakes that are teeming with trout, through forests of giant timber, where lurks the game that hunters seek-as well as wealth for logger and miner���������the vision of the traveller is rapidly changed from scene to scene, each embodying some new feature and awakening some new interest, all thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated because.of the closeness of the object���������often but a few feet distant, _ _ Lower Nairn, or "Green. River" Falls, beside affording a] most interesting sight about 100 feet from the track, also possesses commercial possibilities. Approximately 25,000 h.p. can be developed. Distant 40 miles from tidewater at Squamish. The available timber found along the line is representative of the best British Columbia can uroduce, and the conveniences for exploitation are ideal in every respect. Much might be said about the mineral resources, which are now being developed on a constantly increasing scale. Gold, Silver, copper, antimony and some platinum are in evidence, copper being most represented. While the pleasure seeker finds so���������much to revel in, it must be said that the visitor who regards fishing as the basis of a vacation, can find= good sport at almost any point along the line. Anderson and Seton Lakes have yielded trout weighing in excess of 15 pounds each. As the hunting season is fast approaching to 4the hunter and sportsma,n this country offers possibilities of the greatest interest and of a variety absolutely unequalled. - Beyond Lillooet, and within a distance of 75 miles, big game is plentiful. Between Squamish and the town of Lillooet, on both sides .of the railroad, lies a stretch of country undoubtedly sheltering much game, but until definite knowledge is obtained through pioneer hunting (particularly as to means of "getting in"), it will be wise for the average hunter"'to use Lillooet as a base cellent "camp" resort, and also stores where all or any part of an outfit may be obtained. Most of the guides make this town headquarters. Operating from Lillooet, it is possible for the inexperienced as well as the experienced hunter, to secure any of the many varieties of animals found in the district, but the most satisfactory plan is to secure the services of a guide who knows the country thoroughly, and therefore in a position to lead to almost certain lairs and thus assure a trophy. The known haunts of most of these animals are within 20 miles of Lillooet town/and extend for many miles in all dirctions. Auto roads reach within five miles of favorable hunting grounds on both Cayoosh Creek and Pavilion Mountain, while the center of the "Big Horn" country can also be reached by an 18 mile auto ride from Shalalth (on the railroad 15 miles south of Lillooet) giving excellent opportunities to the man whose time is limited. After leaving the town it is necessary to live under canvas, which is no disadvantage since the climate is so delightful. From the standpoint of "packing" although the mountains rise to 11,000 feet, they are not rough enough to prevent horses being taken close to summits. There are no poisonous insects or reptiles in the mountains, and any mosquitoes or flies there may be in the valleys do not last long and are always gone by the hunting season. Good water is obtainable at all times. Practically every mile of the one hundred and twenty between these points brings into view a new and original picture, embracing indescribable magnificence jn every imaginable form of natural'' grandeur. Snow capped mountains dotted with glistening glaciers.

It may transport its own troops where it will- It may secure their supplies, and the supplies of the nation, and in fitting circumstances, it may assist their operations.

Tbe shells which fall on Dunkirk now very often, did not as at first supposed, come from battle ships or from the clouds, but from the bellies of the big gUns in position somewhere on or near the Belgium coast���������from West- ende to Dixmude���������at a distance of from 20 to 23 miles. Now, if the Germans can throw a shell weighing one ton from Dixmude to Dunkirk, it stands to reason it will be equally possible for them to shell Dover from Calais. No wonder the news agencies couldn't at first credit such a thing���������though there must have been something wrong with the first official announcements on the subject���������and took it upon themselves to_ put -the .matter right by announcing that a portion of the German high seas fleet from Wilhelmshaven, 3.30 miles distant, had broken through the "walls of Jellicoe" even as Joshua once did the walls of Jericho, with the object of reducing Dunkirk and all its immense stores of military materi al to the last sad state of Sodom and Gomorrah. Anyhow, the moral for us is that tbe Germane have proved themselves to be the possessors of guns which can throw shells from Calais to Dover which is a reason more potent than any others why we should never allow them on any account to get to Calais. We all sincerely hope that the wounds of Lieut- Col. Victor Odium are but slight and that this gallant officer will soon be again at the head of the 7th battalion which he commands. At the opening meeting of the National Education Association at Oakland, Cal-, last week 16,000 delegates listened to a denunciation of warfare by David Starr Jordan, president of the'Association and Chancellor of Stanford University. "Military necessity is always a coward, but never more so than in the war today," he said: "Victory is supposed to go to the nation that strikes below the belt, and that strikes hardest at the real victims of war���������the women and children that can not strike back." "We are proud to be here," he said. "In the belief that we represent a grand army of the republic, which is more powerful to save than all the millions of loyal soldiers which, led by the spirit of militarism, are marching to destruction and death. "May every teacher in attendance at this congress return to his or her work with a lighter heart and a clearer vision of duty. "War is always the destroyer. It is comparable to a .great lava flow, laying desolate the fertile fields, branching in every direction, scorching all vegetation, weeds with the flowers, thistles with the fruits and leaving a trail of evil riot removed for years or centuries. "Peace is the interval between wars, a pale negation, the period of fattening for the great struggle which decides the fate of na*- tions." * Woman's love for martial music and the trappings of war was given some blame for the European war by Mrs* Phillip Snow- den, wife of a member of the British parliament, in an address on "Women and the War." "Education is the remedy for war and for all social, industrial and political conditions, which make for war," she said. "They tell us they don't make war on women, but that the war is for the women. "My God I How can they tell us that when they are killing our men? You cannot fight for women when you kill their men. ^X^TX r r -f -r jTte<gV. Jos. H. Bowman 910-11 Seymour Street ki.iL...

IX'��������� ���������. - ( ��������� ft"- X'i IX ���������' N OUTLOOK IS SATISFACTORY CESSATION OP THE WAR in Europe will mean an enormous demand for the lumber products of the northwest and will make necessary greatly increased shipping facilities if utter paralization of the industry- is to be avoided. There is at present a demand for lumber in Europe that is greater than can be supplied with the existing transportation facilities. There are hundreds of shipwrights and carpenters out of work in the Vancouvers. m What is required is men of enterprise and capital to utilize the surplus labor and surplus lumber in the .construction of ships to be ready for the big demand that is sure to follow the war. Not only are Great Britain's financial resources unimpaired after twelve months of war, but the nation can continue to meet her' own expenses and also provide loans to her allies out of income, and not out of capital, while on the other hand, Germany has little or no accumulated wealth available to prosecute the ���������war. This is the- conclusion of Sir George Paish, . the famous economist and editor of the Lon- , don Statist,' in. a lengthy financial review of the first year of the great conflict as reported by a special London correspondent of the New York World. . All the available evidence, he says, shows that Great Britain after a full twelve months df war is just as wealthy and just as well off as she was .before the war began, and that she has met the full cost of the war out of the money she would otherwise have saved, out of 'extra savings, and out of an increased income. , In the past century the income of the British people per head of population has increased five fold, and within the last half, century it has more than doubled. Moreover, the great war expenditures now being made are increasing the incomes of nearly every individual in the country. The aggregate income of the nation when, regarded as the total of. all the incomes of all tbe individuals composing the nation has increased sboutw20 per cent, since the war began. Tbis means that if the whole nation will save a third of its greater income instead of a sixth of its smaller one, not only will the whole of out own war expenses be met,, but we shall provide loans, to our allies out of income and not ont of capital. ; CTOTR-MAy S.1KP FOB S. 0* ; ym BRITISH APWRALTY have agreed to turn over *to the British Columbia government, for one Voyage from tlie coast to tbe United Kingdom, the steamer "Grahamland," now at the Falkland Islands. The "Grahamland" has an interesting history, having been, until the destruction of Admiral von Spee's -squadron, -the -German- collier-"Josephena," when she surrendered to one of the British warships. The ship" was offered through the Agent-General, to the British Columbia Government for the transport of a lumber cargo to the United Kingdom, not necessarily for admiralty purposes, and this being so, all timber shippers were no- Friday, August 20, 1915.fr tified and asked to make offers for the vessel, the amount of. the charter being- ������6,600. The bid of the Cameron Lumber Company, of Victoria, was' accepted, and the "Grahamland" is expected to arrive for August loading. Her capacity is given as 550 standards equal to 1,100,000. feet, and the securing of such a vessel at a time when tonnage is scarce by a British Columbia firm even at such a high figure is a matter for congratulation. It is hoped that the "Grahamland*' will not be the last of the captured or interned German ships to be utilized in the lumber carrying trade from Canada. TIMBER REPORT Some interesting items are recorded in reports recently received by the Hon. the Minister of Lands, upon conditions in the Cranbrook district. Crop prospects and favorable weather give every hope that the prairie demand for lumber this fall will,be good, especially as present stocks in the 'prairie yards are light." The amount of current business done by the mills is showing some increase, and it is estimated that there are from 900 to 1000 men engaged nt tho present time in the lumber industry in the district. With a scarcity of labor, owing to the temporary withdrawal of men to work as harvesters, the rate of wages shows a tendency to increase for the time being. One of the larger orders now being filled by the mills at present is composed of grain doors, one mill alone having an order which will consume one and a half million feet of. lumber, another mill having a still larger order, and a third turning out considerable quantities of the same article. A timbar sale area containing thrcs and a half million feet of timber has been recently applied for, and cruised. The steps which are being taken to develop the prairie demand for British Columbia lumber have naturally given rise to much interest in a district whose mills depend so largely upon prairie orders, and favorable comment has been expressed upon the action taken by the government. The fire hazard in this district gives cause for anxiety, especially as no rain has fallen siribe July 28, and'the prevailing hot and dry weather is ripening vegetation to a dangerous degree. Fires so far have been easily controlled, but unless rain falls soon, the situation will be fraught with much danger. It is hoped to burn further areas of slash as soon as the weather permits this to be done without undue risks being taken, and so reduce a source of trouble and difficulty. OPTIMISM An order in council has been issued in London forbidding the exportation of coal and coke, except to British possessions and protectorates. The export of coal heretofore has been restricted to the British possessions and to countries which are allies of Great Britain. The new ruling eliminates all the allies. The housewives of Berlin were officially notified on July 31st that all copper, brass and nickel utensils were confiscated for the armies. It was nddpd that thereafter the selling, exchanging or HisnosaJ by other means of any such articles was forbidden under severe penalties. , ��������� A sworn affidavit, produced in court in London last week during the hearing of the meat cases before a British prize court, gave an estimate by Major Eric Dillon, a member of the pritish General Staff, which he says is approximately > correct, showing that the' number of "e--sciis serving in the German army and under tlie control of German military authority acrirre- Salcs 10,000,000. .'A statute of.

Dr. John Scrimger, principal for eleven years of the Montreal Presbyterian College, died suddenly at his summer residence in Tiic, Que, on August 6th, aged 66 years. The Principal was one of the strongest advocates -Tor church union which, has been so long discussed in Presbyterian councils and throughout Canada. Editor Western Call: Many opinions are given as to the termination of the war and as to the general prospects thereafter. And to the many that can see nothingbut blue ruin I would like to advance some of the likely after effects and my reasons for so doing. To begin with no doubt the effects of the war so far has practically upset all calculations in every resect financially and otherwise, but I venture to say that the time is coming when the Dominions will enjoy the groatest prosperity ever known as soon as hostilities cease, and the final settlement is arranged, and I believe it will be brought about in this manner by Great Britain abandoning her free trade policy and placing a duty on all im- norts and giving free trade within the empire. If such a duty was imposed by ' Great Britain *s was placed against Canada at the end of the Civil War by the United States, the benefit to Can- oda, and' I might say to British Columbia in particular, could hardly be calculated at the moment. This would have the effect of an enormous amount of capital being brought in to manufacture our raw material, of which we have an abundance. Not only European money, but also from the United States, which would mean for Vancouver prosperity of a substantial nature. This also would end the German and Aus-: trian nations from flooding England as it has for the last forty years. Through the generosity of Great Britain with free trade Germany and Austria captured many of the manufactures- by- flooding the Empire with spies posing as manufacturing agents and are now using this capital against us i nthe shape of guns and munitions of. war. What would be the result of free trade for Canada with the Mother Coimtry (-Great Britain), and more especially for Vancouver? We would have the busiest harbor on the Pacific shipping to Russia and the far east. With a free trade policy within the empire it would mean factories in British Columbia for lines that we cannot compete with now against Germany and other neutral countries. No doubt there would be some opposition to free trade for British made goods es- necially by the manufacturers' association that has been pampered by a. high tariff to the extent of becoming* multi-millionaires. But though the consumer sees very little difference in prices between the goods made in Canada nnd the American article after the duty is paid, the duty certainly does not go into the pockets of tbe consumer. For instance, if there was a 25 per cent, duty on salmon for the English market and the canneries would all be shortly in British Columbia on the Pacific as that is, I might say, the only market for the export trade. Alio after the war there will be enormous quantities of lumber required for bridges, railroads and building purposes, not only in England but France, Belgium and Russia as well. and ��������� under cultivation would more than feed the empire. The Dominion government should be able to furnish every soldier with one hundred and sixty to three hundred and twenty acres of this land by an arrangement with Great Britain for a monetary consideration, and thereby settle up all vacant prairie lands, as no doubt the soldiers will prefer to strike out for,a new| country in preference' to returning to their office work at home.L If any difficulty should arise byl cheap British manufactured ar-l ticles to obviate that, I say, raisefl the standard, of wages at home] to equal or nearly so of what iti costs in this country. I would] say by ..all means have free trade] within the empire which would] mean 25,000,000 population in] Canada in less than twenty-five ( years. A. M. BEATTIE. SWIMMING AS EASY AS WALKING SUMMER PICNIC AT THE CAPILANO CANTON Now, with free trade within the empire and preferential rates with the other powers that have been engaged in the war, as no doubt they will have to resort to a high tariff to raise the war debt. This would mean our lumber mills with double the number would be busy night and day. It would mean our railroads would be supplied with* all they could do and our shipping at a premium. It would mean the north-west wheat lands brought into cultivation and settlers from all parts of the world. It would moan our vacant buildings in Vancouver filled up and more being built.

' . J\To doubt after the war Great Britain will deal generously with the soldiers . by giving them grants and pensions. Canada (the The popular idea that swimming is a dangerous art and should be shunned, because if you can swim you'll get in the water, and if you get in the water you will probably drown, is characterized as "rubbish" by G. H. Corsan, swimming instructor, says the /.;.''Kansas City Star.^ Every year Mr. Corsan travels around the North American continent-���������his home is in Canada- giving short courses in swimming in the larger cities. In the last five years he has had one month's vacation. He has taught more than a hundred thousand; persons how to swim. '! The way to avoid drowning, according to Mr; Corsan, is to learn how to swim. Good swimmers don't drown. They might die of chill or starve to death, but as for drowning���������pooh! x V How about cramps, he was asked. Even good swimmers have cramps, that bugaboo of those who aren't at home in the water. His answer was reassuring. ''Cramps needn't cause a moment's worry. I've seen thousands of good swimmers seized with cramps and never a one was drowned. All they did was to, turn over on their backs and either wait for help or paddle with their free limbs. I've never heard of a swimmer having cramps in both legs and arms. Even then his case would not be hopeless. There never was a case of drowning that was caused by cramps. That may seem surprising after the countless water tragedies that have been blamed on cramps. Death in the water is caused by chill or strangling. "People strangle to death because they are ignorant of the proper method of breathing. When they sink beneath the water they hold their air passages shut. When they come to the top they have to breathe out-the air they've used under water. As breathing out takes fifty'times as long as breathing in, they have no time to get a fresh supply of air before they go under again. This keeps up until they breathe in under the water and thus strangle to death. "The process should be reversed. Breathe in for the second you are above water, then breathe out through the nostrils while under the water, andjrou can kgep it up^w^ the time he was in the water.. Most of the time he kept his head completely submerged. ' Another point in breathing emphasized by Mr. Corsan is the way to avoid that disagreeable experience of getting a mouthful of water instead of air when the swimmer encounters short, choppy waves spray or splashes.'" When breathing; in, he holds the upper front "teeth as a sort of curtain. This is so effective that Mr. Corsan is willing to lie flat on tiis back and let fifty persons throw buckets full of water on his face. Not a drpp will get in his mouth; he; says.. "XXX. VV V" X...;;VX- NOW IS NOT TOE TIME TO HANG BACK A knowledge of this reversed pro cess of breathing would bave saved hundreds who died when the" Lusitania " sank. '���������When you know all the factors in the case you will wonder how any one ever drowned. Only a deplorable ignorance can explain it. Look at the buoyancy of the human body. After the "Lusitania" tragedy hundreds of bodies were found floating hours after they had died. The body weighs but a few ounces in the water. What is needed is but a little common sense, a cool head and a knowledge of swimming to keep afloat indefinitely. "Recently Great Britain started a campaign to teach the methods of life saving. I say, teach them to swim properly and they will get better results. Let every man be his own life saver. "..,/��������� To -swim 'properly,, however; as Mr.-..Corsan admitted, is different from mere swimminjg. Many swimming experts in the past bave _ drowned. People argued that if experts drowned, an ordinary swimmer wpuld have no chance at all. Mr. Corsan explained that they weren't -ex-- perts at all. and when they were -eized with cramps they lost their heads;, xiust -lifceX inexperienced swi>ninersV and wer-e strangled to rtealb' because they didn't know howV to breathe properly. This business of breathing is very important,-according to Mr. Coi-saii.: ; V ,V. .��������� .���������"-..,.. ;��������� 'Nice-tenths of swimming is breathing and movement is only one-tenth," he says. .This in spite of the fact that when he illustrated the Austral- You say, the war is a long way off. We do hot hear the great guns or see the smoke of battle. But the struggle is on. No matter what might have been; the call to arms is irresistible; The loyal Canadian must stand by the mother country in her desperate need; he must stand by his own land.. which is a part of the British Empire. Young man, you who are thinking about the war; dreaming about it, but doing nothing to end it; your flag would be trailing in, the dust; your Empire, would be degraded; the Kai- ster would have been crowned in London as his ��������� grandfather was crowned at Versailles, if all the men who are able to fight were as slow and incompetent as you are showing yourself to be. There is nothing too good for the soldier. The politicians last winter were discussing whether the men at the fron,t should be allowed to vote, A better topic for discussion would have* been whether or not the men who stayed at home should be allowed to retain the franchise* For all our hopes are pinned to the King's uniform. A learned judge the other day told the jury that in spite of the war justice was going on as usual in England, but if the British navy disappeared what would statesmen, judges, house of parliament and courts of law amount to ? If our forces are vanquished by land and sea London will' be as Ninevah and Tyre. So the ilim^Mioy.fight=inLihisXKait=^il^ return to be the leaders of the nation.

THE WESTERN CALL MATSQUI ROADS OPEN _ TO BIO IMPROVEMENT Municipality Has All Advantage* Excepting Good, Roads and Byroads t On July 26th an auto trip around Matsqui municipality was taken by Mr. A. Limas, ot the Glen Valley Land Company. Mr. G. Z. Smith, a pioneer of the valley, and The World representative revealed the fact that the majority of roads in Matsqui could stand considerable improvement in 4 the '-winter would be practically impassable for'automobiles. Mr. Geo! C. Sutherland in charge of the ear, in some places, had to make the machine do everything but climb a tree. While the main trunk roads were in fairly good shape, the. cross- roads and byroads, such as the Jackman road, were anything but smooth. Gravel scattered along the highway and left loose without the application of a roller made travelling very hard and on a portion of the Town Line road, a short distance from Patterson road, the highway has been left in a ploughed-up state. A Dangerous Stretch On the road from Clayburn to the ferry landing off the Fraser opposite Mission City there are stretches that are really dangerous, the road flanked on either side by deep sloughs and swamps with no protecting rails or. dykes to pre. vent autos from being plunged into the mud and water of an uncertain depth. The free government ferry across- the Fraser to Mission City proved a fine accommodation, while the roads of Mission proved far superior to those of Matsqui municipality. From Clayburn to Ab- botsford the road was in fine condition, the only thing lacking along this highway being direction posts. Has Other Distinctions Throughout the entire community crops were excellent and on every side the ranchers expressed themselves in a decidedly optimistic manner. Matsqui municipality can justly claim distinction as an agricultural district second to none in the Fraser Valley, 4 bet when it comes to cross roads and by roads a quite different story must be written. One thing that impresses one in this district is the special care taken in nearly every home of the flower gardens; also the many new houses and large barns being erected would tend to denote an air of prosperity this being still further exemplified by the general activity of the numerous lumber mills in the municipality.

While an auto cannot be driven to these places from Vancouver direct, recent developments have made it a simple matter to transport the machine easily and rapidly to those highways leading to the haunts of Big Horn Sheep, Rocky Mountain Goat, Deer, Bear and numerous other wild inhabitants of Central British Columbia. The Lillooet district, with the town of Lillooet as a base, is particularly favored with excellent roads leading directly to several points possessing long and consistent records of yielding trophies to t'he sportsman. For instance, one may travel by auto for approximately ten miles in the vicinnity of Cayoosh Creek and, in the course of the. journey for many years past, considerable game has been secured. From the ��������� same starting point it is possible to take a car for twenty-five miles right into the heart of _ sporting activity V on Pavilion Mountain. Many fine specimens have been re- Igularlj^obtaihl^ ity and there is every reason for the hunting motorist to hope that he will not be disappointed in having an opportunity to hit more than one animal within a very short distance 'from where it iB necessary to leave the auto. X Of course, it must not bis supposed that a good bag can be obtained .shooting from the tonneau, but to the man with limited leisure and who in the past has had to forego a hunting trip for ���������this reason, hunting by auto will prove of in. estimable value since the time saved in reaching a rendezvous will often prove sufficient to secure the game, desired. But' perhaps the best illustration of how useful the automobile can be to sportsmen in the Lillooet District is in connection with the "Big Horn." What is known as Jones' Place on the Big Horn is undoubtedly one of the finest all- round hunting centres in Western America,- and for years past many parties hffve gone out from Lillooet to make the site of Mr. Jones' residence headquarters. By pack train this was a four days' journey; now it is possible to travel by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to Shalalth, about 15 miles south of Lillooet, and from there, motor over an excellent road for over 50 miles into the -Bridge River country. Splendid fair weather all this week has been a great boon to ihe directors and management of the Vancouver exhibition at Hastings park, and large crowds have taken in the fair every day. As usual, the exhibits in the many industrial classes are well up to the mark of former years and in a number of cases surpass the most sanguine expectations of visitors at the exhibition. The Industrial building is full of splendidly arranged exhibits and from appearances it is quite evident that the B. G. Consumers' League is doing a good work in their "Made in B. C." campaign. The fine arts building is the centre of attraction/housing as it does, exceptionally fine exhibits of. oil paintings, photography, fancy needlework, and manual training work'done by the various schools. The forestry building, the permanent exhibit at the grounds, gives the visitor to B. C. a splendid - idea of the wealth of resources of British Columbia, and the choice results that can be obtained from - their manufacture under a well defined and skillfully executed plan by the provincial government. The splendid finishes of the various timber of B. C. is certainly a revelation, L_L ��������� 1 ^ GARDEN HOSE . We have a special Sale of Hose on now.

Over '700 entries were made in this division which is without doubt the most popular exhibit on the grounds. Rosy cheeked, plump, short, tall, black, red'and fair, the children have been there in great numbers, and the doctors and nurses have bad the time of their lives picking the winners. Vancouver certainly is not shy oh children, and tbe hope is expressed that they will be as patriotic as they are loud in their praises of the Baby Show, the greatest exhibit on earth. The ring attractions have been of a high standard, especially the The main hall is occupied by racing card, and the events have been most keenly contested all week. The rough rider cow boys have fairly captivated the pat rous of the fair with their ex hibitions. The other attractions of the fair centre around the skid road, where Sadie, the strangest girl on earth devotes her time to a weird exhibition of snake charming, all through theununununnn ing, where the sharpshooters knock down the clay pipes, and the aspiring spit ball artists topple over the Kaiser;' where the bashful young man buys his sweetheart a chance^ for a box of chocolates and the married men takes his wife and kiddies on the merry-go-round; where the small boy listens to the tin-horn band and the old man puts up his 1 lands in horror at the big girl show. ' The skid road is certainly a success, a combination of the burlesque, vulgar and money- grabbing gentry of the coast cities.

A woman's heart is a storage vault Where nothing breaks in to steal, Except the honor you fail to pay And the love you forget to feel. A love you have placed there once remains, And you may forget, but she Will give it back, if you want it so, And smile, as she hands the key. Smile, but never forget, my lad, That a smile is the saddest thing, When it's over the ashea of something dead And the heart is a broken wing! A woman's heart is a fortress strong, Where your foes may never come, With prancing steeds and gleaming sword And the rat-tat of the drum.

Subscriptions may be addressed to 618 Pacific building to either Mr. Pennock, treasurer of the St. John Ambulance Corps, or Mr. J. R. Seymour, vice-chairman of the Red Cross Society. New Westminster representatives are arranging for an extensive "tag day'' campaign and it is sincerely hoped that British Columbia will do herself proud on that occasion. (Wm. M. Feigenbaum) Recently Henry L. Stimson showed carefully and in reasoned legal language why women should not have the vote. Some time ago Geo. W. Wickersham, a leader of the bar, former attorney- general, expounded the advantages women enjoy without >the ote. The fact that both were leading barristers made it plain that the legal mind cannot see tbe validity of the. claim that women need the vote- Time was, and not so long ago, when the notion of women in public life was the signal for uncontrollable mirth. "What, teach the shes?" fairly shouted a man! years ago when it was first proposed to allow tbe "shes" in college. To-day, happily, all that is changed. "Women, comrade and equal, is the keynote of the relations of the sexes among thoughtful people. "Woman, comrade and equal is life. Women meet men at every step, and men are driven to respect women. Men dare not, in general, sneer at women as tbey used to. They are driven by the sheer force of the numbers of their women coworkers at least to a make-believe-respect. Therefore, the arguments against the enfranchisement of. women must be based upon a sham, a bluff at reason. The lawyer caste, as yet little affected by the so far trifling invasion of women into law, despises women* But the lawyers must keep their contempt to themselves. ' Outside the public forum, the lawyer is the same smirking, simpering, oleaginous "reverer" of women. '' God bless her 1 " In "An Illustrated Treatise on the Laws of Evidence" by T. W. Hughes, L.L.M., a text-book widely used in law schools to-, day, we find an interesting dis-J cussipn on the examination o*r| witnesses. Taken very seriously, this important subject is ,until we come to section 61, "Women as Witnesses!' (p.386)* "They (women) are usually pe- ciiliarly bad witnesses on the cross-examination. In .advising a young lawyer upon the subject, the distinguished advocate, Ru- fus Choate, once humorously (sic) remarked:*'Let me give you my dying advice, never cross-examine a woman. It is no use. They cannot disintegrate the story they have once told. They cannot eliminate the part that is for you from that which is against you. The moment you begin to cross-examine one of them instead of being bitten by a single rattlesnake, you are bitr ten by a whole barrel full. "I never, except in a, case absolutely desperate,'' dare to cross-examine a woman." c XNo, there is no need to de^ Dounee old Rufus.?'He's., dead, and he won't notice it. The present interest lies in the fact that Prompt use of the telephone saved the residence of a Saanich, Vancouver island, rancher from fire recently. The incident also served to show how the B. C. Telephone Company strives to impress its employees to be ever ready to serve. On the morning of July 23rd, Mr. F. W. Sproule, a subscriber at Sidney, Vancouver Island, exchange, called up the local manager, Mr. B. L. Pickering, and asking for a number, incidentally mentioned that his ranch was on fire. After making the connection, Mr. Pickering had the fire alarm rung by two people, and he also called up all the people in Sidney who had automobiles, requesting them to proceed to the fire hall and pick up available help and rush to the fire, which was two miles away. There is no fire wagon at Sidney, but the .people appealed to responded willingly, and gathering the fire buckets, wore soon on their way to the scene of the fire. As, Mr.'Pickering was concluding his messages the first arrival called up from Mr. SprouleV and. reported that the house could be saved as only the, corner was ablaze. A bucket brigade had been formed and water was being transported from the well and the creek by those who had hurried to the scene. , >��������� The "Sidney and Island Review," made very favorable comment on the incident, under the heading, "Telephone Efficiency." Its article closed as follows: "People do not live in isolation in the present time when their house is equipped with the telephone. You are brought into touch with your neighbor just1 as if you lived in the next house to him in the city street." British Columbia Telephone Co. Limited a modern law book, used to-day in the law schools has the impertinence to use such a maudlin remark as instruction in law. There is no consideration of the subject other than in the paragraph quoted. Women have not yet invaded law to any great extent. The profession is principally a man's profession. Therefore, men make the rules, they create its morale and esprit de corps. Hence that remark. Woman's place is���������the world. Her sphere is the sphere, nothing less. If women created a morale cf a profession wherein were no men, it is possible that men would������ be as despised as women are by lawyers. To allow one group to make laws for another group is wrong* To allow men and men only, to create laws, thoughts, philosophy, morale, means that women will be spat upon. We dwell together in the world. We have not willed it. We must live here for better-or for worse.' Therefore, in order to understand one another, to live in happiness and content, we must work together, share the world! together. , " ' Prison Warder: "We tiy to get every inmate work with' which he is familiar.

The league dropped in interest immediately tne destination of. the cup was settled for another year. Some of daily newspapers report that there is a likelihod of some of the players joining some regiment for the front. Let us hope it may be true. ��������� ��������� ��������� The Beavers are playing great ball this week* They have taken the-measure of the Indianstwice already, and if they, keep up their present streak will likely finish near the top. Seattle is now in second place, with Tacoma in the cellar. Spokane has a glorious lead and it will be very difficult for any of the other teams to overhaul them. NORTH VANCOUVER DEFEATS VANCOUVER What was the matter with the steamship "Eastland'* which rolled over in the Chicago river with the loss of more than 1,000 lives is revealed in the correspondence between the general manager of the company operating the vessel and Secretary of Commerce Redfield more than a month ago. Discussing the provisions of the La Follette law, which does not take effect until next November, the manager insisted that obedience on his part would decrease the revenues of the boat 40 per cent, and add considerably to the expense. In reply the secretary said that he had no option but to enforce the law after' it became effective; yet he did not fail to warn the steamship manager that by taking advantage of existing law in the meantime he 'Was needlessly endangering the lives of his passangers . What the owners of the "Eastland" did was to seize every dollar from a holiday crowd that was permissible under present regulations. They assumed the risk knowing it to be a risk, for the sake of profit alone* Under the La Follette law providing for life-saving apparatus the "East land's" passangers would have been reduced by more than one- third. In that case it is probable that there would have been no such overcrowding as that which caused the boat to capsize at its dock. If the disaster had happened in midlake the toll of death would ha(ve been much greater. There were at least 2,570 persons aboard, and there were life-boats and rafts for only 771. Greed took every chance permitted by a loose law loosely enforced. All tbe inquests, investigations and trials that are to follow will point to nothing but greed that gambled with human life.���������New York World. J. Dixon House Phone: Bay. 886 G.

X CADETS SOON DUE IF GERMANY SHOULD WIN Rudyard Kipling came out of his silence and told the Empire in burning words just-what would be the fate of the Anglo-Saxon race of its arms should go down to defeat in this-Armageddon. His concluding sentences were as f oIIomjp : "But whatever has been dealt out to Belgium, France and Poland will be England's fate tenfold if ������we fail to subdue the Germans. That we shall be broken, plundered, robbed and enslaved like Belgium will be but the first part of the matter. There are special reasons in the German mind why we should be morally and mentally shamed and dishonored beyond any other people���������why we should be degraded till those who may survive may scarcely dare to look each other in the face. If Germany is victorious every refinement of outrage which is within the compass of the German imagination will be inflicted on us in every aspect of our lives- "The call of national and empire duty ought to be in itself sufficient, but when it comes to the supreme appeal for-the preservation of highest ideals of civilization and the rights of the individual, as embodied in that same British Empire, then no sacrifice of blood and treasure can be too great."

There are no mills for the manufacture of textiles and clo thing, while munitions of war in the* absence of jthe _ requisite machinery, cannot be completed here. Where is the tannery which should flourish in such an exceptionally good environment with all the constituents of successful working on the spot? War has created an unprecedented demand for manufactures and few cities are more favorably situated than Vancouver to supply them. Now is thf time to "grasp the shirts of. happy chance" and do away with unemployment by rebuilding Vancouver on that most solid of civic foundations���������local industries. Opportunity never loiters, but depression has come to stay if not combatted, while the war is on 'ere the aftermath of neglected opportunities blocks progress on the advent of peace. Want of capital is the prevalent excuse for the present industrial crisis. The objection is overruled .when it is remembered that wherever it can be conclusively demonstrated in the right quarter that capital will bring in large and quick returns sufficient money is usually forthcoming to float a company. The best way, it may well be the only way, of stemming the tide of poverty which threatens I o engulf a large percentage of cur citizens and at the same time do our utmost to shorten the war by providing the vital requirements of the fighting line is to start factories for field equip- i>j<>nt and also to take our shore of Germany's trade throughout the world.
