Kansas who never saw a saloon, remarked Governor, Capper of that state, at the Panama-; Pacific ~4Exposition.' His speech was delivered in the Kansas building at the celebration^ of Kansas day. "If it is good to live in Kansas it is because the people of Kansas made it so," said Governor Capper. "Kansas people have never dodged a difficulty nor refused to face an issue. Kansas is now a good place in which to live, largely because thirty years ago we dared to make the I open saloon an outlaw because we were not afraid to attack a curse as ancient as human history and put it from us forever. I am immensely proud of the fact that Kansas has half a million boys and girls who never saw an open saloon. "And now that national prohibition, and world-wide prohibition are coming just as surely as to-morrow's sunrise, Kansas has done, is doing and will do more to bring this great blessing about than any other state." LIFE IN DEATH AT KRUPP'S A WRITER in the Gaulois, describing the Krupp works in war time, says: To construct the 16 in. gun a special plant is necessary. The formidable equipment of the works is but a thin <shell for the hatching of such monsters. Fifty-ton masses of steel are surrounded by a brasier which keeps them simmering. Then elephantine cranes catch up the blocks and roll along with them on rails through the City of Fire to the hammers. You can imagine these instruments in operation." The reverberations a^e such that it seems as if all Essen is being.bombarded by howitzers. Essen has long been accustomed to the noise of munitions in the making. It well remembers the manufacture* of the famous 14.5 guns for Wilhelmshaven, and the cannon of this war have been more colossal still/and .the wonder is that human, nerve even of the giants who are building them can endure the thunder. At the tolling shops of Solingen the masses of steel are retailed by the pound*. There the sabres and bayonets are tempered. But it is not .the men employed in casting operations that are the most to be pitied. It is the pyrotechny factory which is the real inferno upon earth. The army of chemists, artisans, makers of shells, of incendiary powder���������all these dispensers of death Xrare literally devoured by the atmosphere of the workshops, in which the acids vaporize a more subtle fire, the artificial fire of men. The air of the munitions factories is, as it were, a cancer that fastens on to 'each individual, eating him minute by minute, organ by organ, and only relaxing? its grip when he is dead. Truly a place where all hope must be abandoned! There the men-no longer seem made of flesh and blood and muscle. They remain nerves and intelligence��������� the deadly reactions fight for their possession, and their spirit alone carries them through to ���������he end of their task. , Some of these men are no longer able to rp- tain any food; They are shadows. They work ^bw all thexsamexnot realizing-theif- condition; V"After the war we will take a rest," they say, ' allured by the system of bonuses. To these no coffee is served out, but barrels of milk several times a day, as an antidote to the poison they have absorbed. Medical specialists patch up the most exhausted by'means of special hypodermic injections. Chemistry kills them and chemistry keeps them alive. X:- ,. ��������� .- X ��������� ��������� . ��������� ,N HYPHENATEP NEUTRAWTY THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL fromjhe Saturday F.vening Post, one of the most Conservative journals in the United States, and referring, we take it, to German-Americans, is qxiito into resting: So far as we are able to understand those on a a)' fellow-citizens who insist on a hyphen, their idea is that Uncle Sam* should take no, part whatever in the war except to tie England's hands behind her. The United States having performed that neutral office, they would have it stand finite aloof an dobserve the ensuing homicide with an impartial mind. Great Britain has spent much effort in building a navy, w;hich was not designed for ornamental purposes, but specifically to dominate the sea in \tfar. Present ability to import war munitions from neutral countries is the natural fruit of that preparation, exactly as driving the Russians out of Galicia was the fruit of Germany's preparations on tend. But hyphenated neutrality wants this country to take away the' advantage a supreme navy gives. _ The navy is England's special weapon, as the army is Germany's. Asking the United States to blunt England's weapon is a peculiar expression of neutrality. The only theory that would justify it is that Germany ought to fix the terms on which her adversaries shall fierht. A suggestion that Germany, instead of taking advantage of superior preparations on land, should politely dismiss a third of her army and scrap her big guns, would have,.about the same standings in, a neutral mind as the notion that the- allies should not take due advantage of their superior preparations at sea." MOUNT PLEASANT PBEBBYTSBIAN CHUUCH NEW PASTOR INDUCTED INJO MT. PLEASANT REV. A. E. MITCHELL, B. A., OFFICIALLY v TAKES CHARGE 0? MOUNT PU3ASANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH- FIRST SERMONS SUNDAY THE VANISHING AMERICAN SAGE After almost a yeajr without a settled pastor Mount Pleasant Presbyterian church last night celebrated the coining of their new pilot in the person of Rev. A. E. Mitchell, of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The induction ceremonies took place in the well known church, cor. 10th avenue and Quebec street, at 7.30, the services being conducted by Rev: J."H. Milter, of Cedar Cottage, Moderator of the Presbytery of Westminster. Rev. Matthew H. Wilson, the recently inducted minister of Ker- risdale Presbyterian church, preached the sermon, and gave a splendid address,' full of truths and ideals, v' Rev. Dr. G. C. Pidgeon, of Westminster Hall, a^dressedVthe iriinister, ^mpHiisizP ing the work from jthe pastor's standpoint, and holding out the ever-present offer of divine help in the work. Rev. J. S. Henderson, interim moderator of the congregation, addressed the people, and exhorted them to band themselves together in christian work, to uphold the hands of their new pastor, to live clean lives, and to go out into the world as strong virile men and women seeking the advancement of all that pertains to the Kingdom of God. Nearly one thousand people attended the "ceremony, and at the close of the induction a reception was tendered the new pastor and his -wife. Felicitous addresses were delivered by lie v. R. J. Douglas, Moderator of the Synod of British Columbia, Rev. J. H. Miller, Moderator of the Presbytery of Westminster, Rev. John Mackay, D.D., principal-Qf Westminster Hall, Rev. A. F. Baker, of Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, and Rev. Dr. W. J. Sipprell, of Mount Pleasant Methodist church. All these addresses were filled to overflowing with words of welcome and encouragement, and Mount Pleasant Presbyterian church enters into the new union under most happy auspices, and the future activities of. this important unit in the Presbyterian church will be followed with wide-spread interest. Rev. Mr. Mitchell was born in the township of Markham, York county, Ontario, and received his early education in Markham high school. He later attended Knox College, Toronto, and graduated from there~ after a bright university career. His first charge,was at "Waterloo, Ont., and after" a year or two there spent^nine years.^.-pastor: ofv St. John's Presbyterian church at Al������i monte, Ontario. From there he went to Ottawa after ithe great fire in the capital some years ago and took charge of Erskine church. This pastorate was exceedingly fruitful and after- five years Mr. Mitchell accepted a call to Knox church, Hamilton, where he labored with conspicuous success for four years. The call of the west -came over the wires and Prince Albert, Sask., were successful in bringing him to the prairie country. Here, again, success followed his efforts and a large and influential congregation was built up in the course of three years of exceedingly,, pleasant pastoraL work. -^ Mr., Mitchell. decided to come to Mount Pleasant's urgent call only after very serious consideration. Mount Pleasant people were obliged to seek his services twice before he finally consented to come and last evening's ceremony is only the beginning of what is confidently expected will be exceedingly bright future days for this church and congregation. Mount Pleasant Presbyterian, is one of the most outstanding fields within the province of the Presbyterian church in Canada. Under the able ministry of Rev. John W. Woodside, who last fall removed to Chalmers church, Toronto, this congregation has prospered in many ways.

Mount Pleasant Presbyterr ian stands for ail that is solid and substantial in religious life, and the prospects are indeed bright under Mr. Mitcfiell 's pastorate. Mr. Mitchell's record is almost without parallel in the .Iifj3_._oiJfce_^ and large things are expected in the life and growth of his new pastoral charge in the days to come. Presentation to moderator Among the many pleasant features of the induction and reception ceremonies last evening was the presentation of a purse of gold by the congregation to the interim moderator, Rev. J. S. Henderson. The presentation was made at the conclusion of the oratorical reception and previous to the social hour held in the athletic rooms of- the church. Mr. John Ridington, congregational secretary made the presentation, and the following felicitous remarks: The exercises of to-day, now approaching completion, meke this a memorable���������indeed, it may prove to be even a momentous-��������� day in the history of this church. We know that it marks the close of months of doubt, anxiety and uncertainty. We hope and believe that it marks the beginning of a new era in the history of Mt. Pleasant church���������an era distinguished at once by higher idealism and by more efficient w'ork, by fuller consecration, deeper devotion, greater power, and by wider and more intensified human service Something like a year ago the skipper of the good ship "Mt. Pleasant'" was promoted to a craft of greater tonnage, one of the fine fleet, the home port of which is Toronto. When Captain Woodside left the "Mt.

D., for- . merly Medical Superintendent of Randall's Island Hospital, New York City, Editor of "The Historians' History of the World," has the following to say under the above caption: The census returns show that for every thousand individuals of the population, 351 are either of foreign birth, or the children of foreign-born parents; ahd that 107 per 1,000 are negroes. As to the remaining 538 who are native-bom and of native parents, it would be a high estimate to assume that half are the descendants of the '. 4,000,000 colonists of 1790, unmixed with the blood of the. 9,000,000 immigrants that joined' their company prior to 1880. We may fairly compute that in an average 100 individuals of our present day population, there are no more than 27 of pure colonial stocky ( as against 27 whose ancestors came to America not more than two: generations ago, 35 who are aliens or of. foreign-born parentage and 11 ne-'" grbes. If we were to confine attention to the northeastern section of'-.the. United .'States, the home of the original colonists, .the record wonld be even . more thought-provocative. We should learn, for example, that in 1910 the population of Boston comprised only 28.5 per cent, of native whites of native parentage, as against 35.9 per cent, of foreign-born, and 38.3 of individuals having foreign-born or mixed parentage. Many of the industrial centres of Massachus- , ets show an even more startling record. Thus Fall River has onlyv 13.3 per cent, of native whites off native parentage. X In Massachusetts, as a whole, there are 117,- 000 Russians, 89,000 Italians, 30,000 Germans, 26,000 Portugese*. J6,000 Turks, 11,000 Greeks, 10,000 Finns. In a single recent year 100,000 immigrants have come to Massachusetts. Two persons out of three in the whole-state are either., foreign-born or the-children of foreign-born par- N ents.- In one town of less than 7,000 people, ���������. there arV r������>r������8ent^tiyes of 21- different- ratrx tionalities who "speak as many different Ian- guages. As further illustrating the changed charac- ��������� ter of the American race in the centres of popu- ' lation, we may note that the native whites of . native parentage number only 19.3 per cent, of the total population of New York city, and only 14.8 per cent, of the population of Manhattan Borough. Chicago is not much better off, having only 20,4 per cent.; of native whites of native parentage. >��������������������������� Moreover, this new stock is enormously prolific, whereas the old colonial stock has become alarmingly fecund. Had the 27,000,000 Americans whdiwere here in 1860 maintained the family traditions of their parents and grandparents, "their descendants would have numbered 104,000,- 000 in the year 1910, without taking stock of immigrants; whereas in point of fact the total population of the United States in 1910 was only 92,000.000, . even though 23,000,000 immigrants had come in the meantime and proved themselves far more prolific than the natives. _As_to:jth.e_Jatter__pointt it^appearsCaccording =^ to the census records of 1910) that the total white population in America increased in the decade 1900-1910 by 22.3 per cent. But only 14 per cent. of. this was natural increase of the native white population; whereas the increase of the foreign-born was 30.7 per cent. In the state of New,, York, the number of immigrants who make permanent settlement each year exceeds the number of babies born. Obviously our race is being transformed very rapidly indeed���������more rapidly in all probability, thaii any race was ever transformed before, arid it would be a peculiarly resourceful disputant who'-would bring forward convincing evidence that the race is being bettered as well as changed. If our racial development should continue for the ensuing half century as it has in the past half century, the population of the United States in the year 1960 will number 276,000,000, but 250,000,00 of these will be of alien heritage within three generations, outnumbering the members of the colonial race almost 10 to 1. a The question is often asked: How we can as- ^ similate the va'st coteries of immigrants of many- races? The answer is simply: We do not and cannot assimilate them. But it would appear that they are in a fair way to assimilate us within a few generations. The annual expenditure of the people of the United States for certain purposes is as follows: Liquor and tobacco, $3,200,000,000 Jewelry 800,000,000 Automobiles k 500,000,000 Soft drinks and candy ...... 45,000,000 Insurance against fires, etc... 600,000,000 Insurance against war��������� (Army and Navy) 250,000,000 An appeal issued in London on July 7th by the French Relief Society shows that 400,000 French soldiers had been killed up to June 1st, 700,000 wounded arid 300,000 taken prisoners by the Germans. THE WESTERN CALL Friday, August 6, 1915. It is an interesting exercise in illustrated history to compare with the numerouSgWar pictures now going the roujras the very much fewer pictures of the wars of a hundred years ago. There is an almost inconceivable difference between them, suggesting in many ways the great strides man has made within a single century in skill and daring. For alhough we may well wish that the world had learned in that time to be done with war, we cannot but admire the scientific genius that has produced the machinery used in modern warfare. , The fighting ships of to-day, as compared with those of ancient times, arc very near the limit of contrast. The galley-boats of the Romans, the ships of the Spanish Armada, or the British war vessels of King Charles' time, .were like floating toys in comparison with Britain's super- drcadnaughts now in action. But even the warships of only a hundred years ago do not stand the comparison very much better. That wonder of engineering and science, the mammoth battleship that !we see in the pictures today, is a creation of very recent times. In few other.ways is the change of a hundred years better shown. There were, to begin with, no steamships in those days, and that fact alone will account for the chief - differences iri the war vessels. Instead of massive ironbuilt craft, driven by the most powerful engines that have yet been made, these century-ago ships were of wood, and were driven by the wind, that is to say they were sailing ships. A full-rigged war vessel then carried a tremendous spread of canvas, so that the most conspicuous part was always that above deck. When a fleet of these vessels got together the effect was very pleasing, from a marine artist's, point of view, but its naval fighting value would be seriously discounted to-day. There is among the historic records an old print of a naval engagement in the war of 1812, showing some of the old-time battleships in action. It is as different from the sea fighting of to-day as could well be;" and suggests rather a fleet of merchant sailing vessels under full canvas. To have manoeuvred such craft about, as the sudden emergencies of the conflict required, must have meant expert seamanship on the part of the crews. The equipment of these sailing warships was. as unlike that of the modern dreadnaughts as were the ships themselves. There were none of the ingenious devices that to-day are regarded as indispensable, and none of the clever agencies of destruction that our warships now carry as auxiliaries to their guns. Everything depended then upon the effectiveness Rennie's Seeds and All Kinds of Seed Potatoes Delta Grain and Feed Store 1547 Main Street \ Our Specialty Potatoes and All Kinds of Vegetables Free pity Delivery Phone: Fairmont 2144.

A well-equipped ship carried as many as fifty or more guns, some of which were thrust through its broadsides and some on deck. The smaller ships had sometimes only ten or twenty guns, however, and it very often happened that only two or three guns on a ship could be used at a time, because they were so mounted that they could not give the angle - of fire desired. The largest and? best of them would make a poor showing beside our monster weapons of today. Such guns as the new Queen Elizabeth carries, for instance, would have shaken one of the century-ago ships to pieces under fire, even if they could haye been got aboard. Nevertheless, the old-time fighting vessels did some excellent markmanship and played their part in the history of the time. We have recently. been celebrating, with fitting thankfulness, the anniversary of the happy settlement of the war of 1812, and are prepared to forget many of its events and fighting details, but gor the sake of illustrating the ships a reference again to one particular event may be allowed. An old print shows how thie harbor of Halifax looked when the British Shannon took the captured American Chesa peake into that port, after a fight at sea off Boston. Both these ships were of the class called frigates, and -they carried three hundred and thirty and three htmdred and seventy-nine men respectively; In comparison with what is going on now in European waters, this picture is very interesting. Another typical warship of the British fleet was the Royal George which in the same war did service on the Great lakes, though from then������������������till now a warship has not been allowed on those waters. The amount of canvas that one of these vessels was enormous. They were slow and cumbersome craft, according to to-day's standards. Even when steam came into use, the first steam vessel to cross the Atlantic, in ty days from New York to Iiiver- pqol. But there was a grace and beauty about the sail-driven warships that the largest and best of our^ great fighting ships today, with all their strength and power and speed cannot equal. The life on board of them, too, in the whole naval service of. the day, engendered a spirit of bold adventure that, while it developed great sailors and admirals, sometimes found vent in reckless swaggering and piracy. What is more, the authorities seemed to recognize and encourage this spirit, and when they were in need of more recruits they did not hesitate to paint highly-colored pic-, tures of the life at sea. In the spring of 1813 an official notice was posted in Halifax, then, as now, an important naval and military centre, which read as follows: "WHAT SHOULD SAILORS DO ON SHORE while King, Country and Fortune point to the Ownn! His Majesty's Schooner, PICTOU, of twelve guns, commanded by Lieutenant Stephens, as fine a. vessel of her size as ever floated on salt water, wanks a few jolly, spirited fellows to complete her complement for a short cruise, who may all fairly pxnect to dash in Coaches on their return, as well as other folks. Apply on board, at the Naw Yard." This might be called romantic advertising, and one would like to know how effective it was. Yet there is not, perhaps, as "reat a difference on this score between then and now as in the shins and their equipment; for only a month or two ago there was displayed at various points in England a recruiting poster that represented the British Government as "arranging a trip to Germany in the spring for a few sportsmen," with "all hotel expenses and railroad fares paid," and "cheap trips up the Rhine." Times change, and machines change, but human nature, in its fighting, and its joking, remains very much the same. ON THE PACIFIC GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY As a scenic trip, the forty- minute ride on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway between North Vancouver and Whytecliff is unique even in this country of amazing scenes. Leaving North Vancouver, an unobstructed view is obtained of Burrard Inlet and the waterfront of Vancouver city. Then skirting the water's edge First Narrows are passed, and the passenger enjoys a ''close-up" picture of. Stanley Park, followed by English Bay, with Point Grey in the distance. From sea level at Dundarave there is a gradual rise; and one is carried through much that is beautiful in forest and ravine, until* at Caulfeild and for some distance beyond the views of the Gulf of Georgia and near and distant lands are unsurpassed from any other point. The elevation of the track in this section also reveals numerous cunningly hidden coves and tiny islands of great beauty, which the traveller by steamboat would never discover. A few minutes' walk from Whytecliff station is Horseshoe Bay, the gem set into Whytecliff townsite, comprising over 1,200 acres of natural, grandeur God- built in horseshoe design around the rippling waters, only divided by a. generous fringe of enticing beach. The beach and extensive nark grounds are free and open to' the public and are provided with ] many conveniences, such as bath house, refreshment pavilion, also a large assembly hall, arrang- .Mvto..M^BtiUzeoLwith or^jwith-? out a roof and serviceable for innumerable purposes. Large and small tables provided with seats are set among the park trees for the use of. picnickers, etc. There are swings for kiddies and shady nooks for those a little older. Fresh spring water is piped from the mountains right to the beach and picnic grounds. ^ All varieties of boats are for hire at a reasonable charge. The mouth of the bay has long been, famous for sea-trout fishing. These and many other features make Horseshoe Bay the place par excellence for picnics and similar gatherings as well as the individual desiring to spend a pleasant day. During their stay at the coast the Australian cadets will go into camp at Whytecliffe in the second week in September. Phone Seymour 8171 STOREY & CAMPBELL 518-520 BEATTY ST. VANCOUVER, B.C.

THE WESTERN CALL l* NOTES BY THE WAY By W. A. Ellis -5/ Before I came to Canada I was always told that "One man was as good as another over there." I have been here only three years but I have been here long enough to) find out that the statement was far from being true. The man who stands out from amongst the servile parly followers upholds his principles and does I his duty to Empire, according to his own lights is regarded with suspicion by the party hacks. Wherever you look you can find square pegs in round holes. Ability counts for nothing. Politics, patronage, servility to party, these things spell success at all times. There was once a good time in this city, and the party had plenty to offer to its followers; and the followers were satisfied. Bad times, alas, have made their appearance and sour faces and general grumbling is the first thing that strikes one on entering wqrd meetings. This is a great pity. It is impossible to give something from nothing. It shows the evil of. the patronage system. Do away with this and give men work on their merits and then you will* find the true patriot* be he Conservative or Liberal. ��������� ������������������,-���������' The counsel for the defense (Hon. W. J. Bowser) for two hours and a half held the jury fixed when he slaughtered the "Crisis" the other evening. Whilst hundreds of good Conservatives who work hard for the party could not obtain a ticket, over four hundred, ladies, whose proper place was at home looking after the kiddies, were to be observed just there out of idle curiosity, and for the purpose of chewing gum. Two ladies in a box never gave their jaws a rest the whole evening. It reminded me of .well, if they knew what it reminded me of they would chew it only after meals, if indeed, it is necessary then to do so. ��������� ��������� ��������� Is the Kaiser Mad?

' I think this story was also told in " Truth "a year or so after by the late Henry Labouchere. ��������� Surely it would seem by this that the machinery of the figurehead of this ' brutal Antichrist was greatly but of order or that he, perhaps, had been on a German beer bout and was only suffering from what the cockney cabbie calls "The rats." ��������� ��������� ��������� If you find two clever men p].aying the game of bluff together it is always interesting. They are both convinced that each other is a "bluff" and so they play and act accordingly. Exactly the case with the United States and Germany: It remains to be seen who is going to stop "bluff" and get down to business. The Germans appear to be sending a few more American citizens to the bottom of the sea, and in the meanwhile the, United States makes no reply and sends a note to Great Britain protesting against the interference with merchandise bound for Germany. No, Uncle Sam, we are not playing the game of "bluff" by the blockade of Germany we are preventing the murderers of our own men, women and children, as well as your own from prolonging this war. : * ���������������������������"������������������������������������...

That man is the commander of. the submarine which sank the Lusitania. To ordinary minds it is almost impossible to conceive the state of that murderer. To do so one must reconstruct his crime. " ^Imagine him waiting hour after hour in, his vessel off the Irish coast, the determination al-, ways in his mind to commit the world's greatest murder. Do not forget that this man knew quite well that he was about to attack (without warning) some 2,- 000 innocent persons. He was fully conscious that aboard the Lusitania were hundreds of women and children, many of them of a nation who were at peace with his own. In the moments immediately preceding that instant when he ordered the firing of the torpedo all those things must have been clear to him, and as he gaye no warning it was his intention to slay every soul on ���������the incoming liner. This man who of deliberate intent sought to kill nearly 2,000 innocent people, skilfully brought his boat -as near the doomed liner as he dared, and then without a word of warning he gave the command. The torpedo was discharged, and then a second followed it to make the filthy deed perfect, ami then through the periscope he watched the result of his action. He saw the giant ship heel over. He saw the rush from her decks to the boats, he saw most probably the struggling victims in the water; he saw men, women and children hurled to death. As* I sit here I wonder what are the man's thoughts today^ His explanation���������there can be no excuse���������will be that he was acting under orders. He will say that it is his duty to 'obey blindly the commands of the Emperor arid Von Tirpitz. In other days the world called men who obeyed such commands hy ugly names. Villains employed thein, but even they felt shame at contact with- such beasts. These sort of people told of in history were outcasts. Will this man be an outcast amongst his own people? No. He was feted and rewarded by his savage employers. The bells of the churches rang in Berlin. The Emperor conferred the Iron Cross upon him. Great God, how can the world think of peace with human swine such as these in our midst f But how will his family greet him, J wonder. His wife if he has one his children his mother, will they honor this red handed murderer ./'.-. He was not alto gether successful; 700 of his would-be victifns escaped him He only slew 1200. But I wonder does he feel proud of his work and his masters? ,HHs .name stands out in letters of blood red; when we get it we must never forget it, for surely the commander of the TJ-39 is the greatest murderer the world has ever known and please God ever will know.

And yet, when we enquire deep enough, it seems as if no time could be more appropriate for those to give attention to them who are unable to assist the cause of the Empire in a more direct way. Problems which have arisen since the war commenced have shown us the vital importance of public health and of the efficiency of human labour. Who can measure the enormous debt which the British army to-day owes to the public health legislation of the past 40 years f That the standard of physique has been raised by improved sanitation and housing is without question.. The value of this on the battlefield has been seen in recent months. In our workshops and Bad housing and sanitary conditions have contributed to the loss of tens of thousands of young lives in, Canada alone whieh might haye been saved to the Empire if we had paid,more regard to public health requirements. The errors or rather deficiencies of. the past should be our inspiration for the future. Healthier conditions pf life in our cities are needed now to aid us in finishing this war; they are needed more to build up reservoirs of strength for the future. Then, too. the men who are sacrificing themselves at the front will have to be replaced, and large gaps will have to be filled.

The minds of most men are centered at the present time on the problems connected with the devastating war in Europe. The supreme task which confronts the British Empire, and Canada as an important part of the Empire, requires the concentration of all the thought and energy that can be given to its accomplishment. It is a difficult time, therefore, to arouse interest in social problems which are in need of solution.

THE STAGE OF STUBBORN ENDURANCE FROM A FIRE RANGER'S DIARY WAR'S EFFECT ON DRINK TRADE THE LATEST INFORMATION availahle to the British Government as to the measures which have been taken in other'countries with regard to the sale of intoxicating liquors since the outbreak of war is contained in a White Paper, which was issued recently. Here is a summary of the contents: Austria-Hungary���������Hours of sale have been limited on ordinary days to between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and on Sundays and holidays all shops in which liquors only are sold are closed. Denmark���������-More or less absolute prohibition of the sale of aleoholic liquors to soldiers in sixteen police districts, and in some districts this applies tb civilians.Use of potatoes and various kinds of corn in the manufacture of alcohol is forbidden. ������ " France���������Sale of absinthe forbidden. , - Germany���������Sale of spirits forbidden to soldiers of all ranks in uniform in Berlin and in the province of Brandenberg, Limitations on output of breweries and distilleries. Bill in preparation to enable prohibition of sale of spirits. Holland���������Earlier closing in certain districts. Norway*���������Use .of grain and potatoes* restricted in manufacturing of spirits or beer. Spirits sold only on four days a week. Russia���������All wine shops, beer saloons, and government vodka shops closed at beginning of mdbilization, and sale of all intoxicants prohibited, except in first-class hotels and restaurants, until completion of mobilization. This order, with modifications, remains in force. Sale of beer and wine in Petrograd restricted to forty-nine hotels and restaurants. Light red and white wine and champagne may be sold by wine merchants between 10. a.m. and fi p.m., except on Saturdays and, the eve of festivals, -when hours are 10 a.m. to"2 p.m. Sale of all intoxicants forbidden on Sundays and feast days. Liquor in the\ hotels and restaurants supplied only with meals. In other countries few or no measures have been taken. WITH GERMAN BANKERS bearing to the Kaiser the news of impending bankruptcy, with ' every man available for active service or for less strenuous attendance on the fighters called both at home and abroad, with the. sadness of the German capital breaking down the officially ordered gaiety and unconcern, with obvious ef-v fort to turn United States' demands into intervention, it is apparent that this gigantic outrage on civilization is passing into the endurance stage. The most ambitious scheme of spoliation in the world's history is a failure. The design of national criminality planned even to the detail of wholesale poisoning, coldly including murder, outrage, and the revolting denial of all claims of civilized humanity, has been frustrated. The expectation of national plunder is abandoned and the guilty designer has no hope except,to mitigate the retribution he deserves. That trust or confidence by the nations can ever be restored is regarded as a vain hope. That the nations will ever again leave themselves exposed to the possibility of a repetition of the nefarious plot cannot be expected. With possessions lost in Southwest Africa, with Kaio Chau and the Pacific Islands gone, with a shocked world aroused and determined, there can be no hope even in the mind of an ambitious visionary for more than a chance to gain tolerance by restitution. Terms of restitution are all that can be hoped for from the desperate stubbornness of this phase of the war.���������Toronto Globe.

They think that their aiming device is just about perfect and they point it at a sky that seems to present a fair target. Any star they choose may be sighted and kept in line and the natural course is to choose the biggest. But the trouble is that when it comes to hitting the mark most of us are short of sufficient ammunition to carry our projectile to its objective., We were not bothered with poor eyesight, when it. came to finding ^our target. We may have looked beyond the first galaxy into spheres that were beyond the vision of most', but first of all we should have secured a charge of powder. ��������� -. - It' is quite easy to acquire a little powderT "Anyone can secure enough to shoot his bullet at the star that is made for grocery, drivers or day laborers. Many of us can strike the star that opens the Wjay to a slow, level progress to some post of dry routine, and there is none of us that need fall short of the planet that hands out the jobs for office boys. NThe thing is that we should learn to hit our, office boy star over and over again until we; know that we can call it our own, and have- a j conviction that we are ready for something better, fKen we may find it not difficult to achieve a higher grade. But all the time we should find powder of tlie right strength and shot of the right size to bring our bird down.

The courageous calibre of many of the fire rangers employed in the Canadian woods has been given frequent and well deserved testimony. The healthy, strenuous life, isolated from 'civilization,' continually demanding vigilance and resourcefulness has been the picturesque mark of much Canadian fiction, and not a little poetry. Here, however, are some real pages borrowed from a real ranger's report. A more enthusiastic champion of the rights of the forest can scarce be imagined: "Spent Sunday in conversing with church-goers on the Divine plan of Forestry for the proper usage of man, pointing out that the Creator made all things for a good purpose and for the proper use of mankind.

It was not totally through carelessness as I could see that they tried to put it out by pouring wat- ���������T over their fireplace before 1 paying it.

All are now preparing food, raiment and implements for fire extinguishing purposes. As I know the country well where this fire is, I am waiting until it arrives near some lakes where it is possible it can be put out without much help. "Myself and assistant fire ranger started at 6 a.m. with 45 men all equipped with axes, spades, coal oil cans and other cans, also old clothes and bags- for fighting fire. Got the help of a horse and car for taking 15 canoes over the1 four-mile tramway. We arrived at the extreme end of the lake and camped on a small island where we could get a good view of the raging fire.

And after all hands working hard we managed to gain a fire belt of about three miles. In the thick bushes we cut down the trees and with spades, hoes, etc., cleared the, sod for ten feet as a fire guard. "From 1st day of June to 5th we managed to finish a fire guard 12 miles long running almost east and west. By fire guard I mean a scraping of all dead kindling matter right to the gravel lied, besides felling an outline of trees, 20-foot clearing space, and back-firing every inch of 12 milek along the fire guard.

After years of confinement to an insane asylum, the monotony of which confinement was varied by long judicial proceedings before the courts, Thaw is free. His money .has won out. The Thaw millions have proved that clever men can find enough technicalities in the law, and eloquent men plead so emotionally before juries that justice is helpless. The Thaw lawyers first fought to prove that the slaying of White was not murder because there was enough incentive for justification. The jury failed to agree. Then the lawyers tried -to proye that Thaw was not guilty because he had acted under the ungoverried impulses of insanity. .;,, With this plea, the jury concur- / red, but to the disappointment of the lawyers, determined that the insanity might be recurrent and their client, therefore, should he incarcerated in an asylum. Since then there have been many trials in which Thaw and his lawyers attempted to prove that what- ' ever he might have been at the time" the'deed was committed, he was since then sane. In this they met with a number of failures, v but having been finally successful. His last jury, according to X. the testimony of the foreman.

It is a maxim of law that for every injury there is a remedy. It is certainly essential to the public well-being that for every injury there should be a remedy.

THE CRISIS IN B. C. The Attorney-General's meeting in the Orpheum Theatre was unique in many ways. The meeting was called to give the At- ���������*torney-General an opportunity "to defend himself and the government from grave charges brought against them in the pamphlet entitled as above. * The pamphlet was published by the "Ministerial Union of the Lower Fraser Valley." \'\ % Many have confused this highly sounding titled Union with The Ministerial Association of Vancouver, or of the lower mainland. This is altogether an error. The Mimsterial ^Association had no connection whatever with the pamphlet. Had they been associated with the matter the pamphlet would not have been printed or circulated in their name or otherwise if the decision in any way lay with them. The Union appears to haye been formed for the purpose of publishing the pamphlet. The form of the attack made it possible to answer it in detail. This 4s the1 best and the tybrst of that form of political controversy. The written word stands and can be nailed down. It was nailed down at the attorney-general's meeting. There was not time, of course, to go through all the "rigmarole" of \ the pamphlet item by item, but as much, as could be covered in two hours and a half of rapid work was thoroughly covered. In the pamphlet there were found so many mis-statements, partial statements so' given as to convey false impressions, even though there might be partial truths set forth, and upon these mis-statements and partial statements here were founded so many false conclusions, that it was* made clearly to appear that the whole* documenjL was a vicious production to which no honorable man should have signed his name.

SIR EDWARD GREY His efforts for peace during the last fatal week of July are on record ; and no one who saw him in the House during that tremendous time, when ihe chamber seemed darkened with impending doom, can doubt either his surprise at the sudden blow or his passionate desire to save Europe from the coming disaster. When someone met him after his speech of August 3, and rather ineptly offered his congratulations on what Mr. Balfour had Called the most momentous speech made in parliament for a hundred years, he turned away with the remark, 'This is the saddest day of my life;' .��������� I am told that at the cabinet council next morning more than one minister broke down under the dreadful strain, and that Sir Edward Grey was among them. But, indeed, there were more tears shed in England in those tragic days than ever before. And they were not tears of weakness, but- of unspeakable grief. If Mr. Asquith's intellectual mastery of the House is supreme, Sir Edward Grey's influence is not less remarkable as a triumph of character. In many respects his equipment is undistinguished. He has travelled .little-; it is jocularly said that he made his first visit 'to Paris when he accompanied the King there a short time ago. He is riot a linguist; he is wholly insular in his tastes, almost unknown in society, much more devoted to fishing /than to politics; speaks little, and then in the plainest and most unadorned fashion; is indifferent to the currents of modern life, and turns for his literature to the quietism of Wordsworth, Walton and White's 'Selborne,' is rarely seen in the House, and then seems to stray in, as it were, like a visitor from,another planet. .And in spite of all this he exercises an almost hypnotic influence on .parliament... The detachment of lhis mind, the Olympian aloofness and serenity of his manner, -the transparent honesty of hisVaims, his entire freedom from artifice and from appeals to the 'gallery,' all combine to give him a certain isolation and authority that are unique. His speech has the quality of finality. Mr. As- nuith wins by sheer mental superiority; Mr. Lloyd Gfeorge wins by the swiftness and suppleness of his evolutions; Sir Edward Grey wins by his mere presence, and the sense of high purpose and firmness of. mind which that presence conveys. It is a favorite jest of his enemies that no man can be quite so wise as Sir Edward Grey looks. Like some other products of the Balliol system, he is more advaric- ed in his views and more popular in his sympathies than his manner and speech convey '��������� but in his conduct of foreign affairs he has adopted a reticence toward parliament which has been resented ���������-notably in thecase of the Bus-, sian agreimerat olr1907r which was published some days after the parliamentary session had closed, and also in regard to the nature of the military 'conversations' with France, first disclosed to parliament, in the speech of August 3rd last.

These rules are: 1. Give the hens clean nests and plenty of them. 2. Gather eggs twice daily during warm weather,- and daily during other seasons. 3. Handle eggs just as little as possible. Every time they are handled they deteriorate. 4. Market eggs of the correct size���������24 to 28 ounces per dozen 5. Overly large or very small eggs should be culled out. 6. Clean eggs will bring best prices. Have clean nests and clean houses. Never wash the eggs as if- spoils the bloom. The last thing a hen does before laying an egg is to deposit a fluid about it whieh seals it, as it were, and acts as a protection. X 7. Produce infertile eggs. They stand shipment better than fertile eggs, they do not develop germs, withstand the heat, cost less to produce them and seldom decay from any trouble on the interior of the egg. Kill, sell or confine the mature male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. X.-X vi Are You Taking Advantage of The Reduced Telephone Rate to Nanaimo?

A dry, cool room or a dry cool basement or cellar will prevent shrinkage, mould and chick development. 9. Don't let eggs come in contact with odors such as paints, kerosene, cabbage or decaying vegetables or meat 10. Held eggs deteriorate. They shrink . in weight, evaporation takes place, and they lose their flavor and freshness. Market the eggs twice a week in hot weather. ���������11. Keep one variety of poultry and produce eggs of one color. 12. Market your eggs in clean 30 dozen cases, or in cartons holding orie dozen eggs, depending upon the demand. 13. Don't expose eggs to flies and dust and dirt and thus spoil their appearance,; 14. Sell your eggs only to buyers who are willing to pay you from one to three cents per dozen more for good, clean, fresh, infertile eggs, than they are for dirty, fertile, rotten and all kinds of eggs mixed together.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1915 < THE WESTEBN CALL SPORTING COMMENT Victoria and Aberdeen have jteen dropped from the Northwestern League for the balance _f the season and the other four earns will'continue the schedule fcntil September. It was not to be Expected that the six-team circuit could finish out the season, costs real money to operate a tall team, and real money is very Scarce on the Pacific coast. The abbreviating of the league was Jertainly the best thing to do lander the circumstances, and'the liirectors were wise. Aberdeen las shown no financial strength it all during the season and Vic- ftoria was little better, though tsport fans naturally expected the [capital city to put up a better [line of defence than what has [been shown so. far. Both teams will hold their franchise in the league until times are better, 'when they will again operate. The other teams are going strong,and with the division of the players of Aberdeen and Victoria there should be a warm argument for | the bunting. Bob Brown has re- ; leased Killaley and signed on Boy ���������j Brown again, and with another change or two expects the Beavers to come through with something like a show for the honors. At the'present time the locals are holding the cellar position in the league, and by the way they are , shaping up at Seattle this week there seems no chance of la change for a while. Meantime [Spokane easily holds the edge on the other teams, and with three weeks of ball at home in a row ! it looks practically a certainly (for the Indians to gather in the [league laurels. ��������� ���������������������������-: The Vancouver and New Westminster professional lacrosse teams staged another game at and contrary .to expectations the locals came out on top by the score of 4 to 3. Several times during the game the champions came within an ace of tying the score, but they didn't. Several times Geo. Tuck as referee sent men to the penalty bench for infractions of the rules, and in this respect his decisions won the approval of the1 fans who were at the game. Geo. Tuck is the best referee in B. C. and there is no one dare deny it. He knows the game, he is no has-been; he hand dirty work, and George can see it all because he has played the game and knows how himself. But George Tuck is not afraid and that is the secret of his success with the lacrosse tribes of the coast league. The players know he cannot be fooled with. All on this account the game was clean, and from the day's play the champions were clearly beaten. It was not a give away game as on the previous Saturday. The; Salmonbellies did their best to win, but the Vancouvers are climbing just now, while the-{champions seem to he slipping. The next game will be played at New Westminster on Saturday. One more win for the red shirts and the league is over. * * ��������� Len Turnbull made his first appearance of the season in a red jersey. He showed a few signs of his old-time form, but evidently not in shape to go a hard game, as it was easy for old Harry Griffiths to keeR tab on him. Harry Pickering,, the star defence man of the green shirts, Athletic Park on Saturday lastj! suffered a ���������/dislocated shoulder knows the dirty players and has them marked; he knows the slippery fellows who do the under- day and then the following Sat- and had to retire from the play in the third quarter. He expects to be in the lineup on Saturday, however, and with him on the defence a green shirt win is looked for. ��������� ��������� ��������� Word from Westminster is to the effect that the Boyals have been slowing up on their practices. The Columbian says that during the past month scarcely a good practice has been indulged in. Perhaps that accounts for the' poor showing of the Fraser river lads in their recent turnout. There is nothing that will disrupt a team quicker than a failure to turn Out to practice, and this may cause the transfer of the cup at the close of the season. ..' x--'" . ��������� ��������� .**���������'-** ,.

It seems a mighty hard road to champion honors, but the manner in which the home breWs are showing up these days adds weight to the opinion which has been freely expressed in some quarters that the mug will change its home. For us it looks like a vain hope. . ��������� ��������� ��������� Joe Lally and the other Mann cup trustees have entered suit against the bondholders of the cup here, arid are prepared to go ahead with legal proceedings to force a return of the cup. The matter will come up at a meeting of the V. A. C. directors on Saturday night. It looks from this distance that the best thing the V. A. C. can do is to hand over the cup to Lally and his confreres. The dispute which has engaged public attention from coast to coast was scarcely worthy of the attention centred on it. British Columbia Amateur body declares Kendall an amateur, and whether or no it is in the right it should have been supported. We are not concerned about the possession of the cup. From now on it will scarcely represent the amateur lacrosse championship of the Dominion, but the actions of the trustees ought to prove an object lesson to the V. A. C. and kindred organizations to see to it that their skirts are clean in this regard in the future. Meantime the transfer of the cup will most assuredly be in the best interests of amateur lacrosse in the Domr inion. '������������������'���������*������������������*������������������ x The Mann cup trustees have approved of August 25th and 28th for games between the Young Torontos, challengers from the east, and Calgary, amateur champions of. the world (?). The games will take place in Calgary and the fans of that city are enthusiastic as to the outcome. Calgary has some lacrosse team for sure. A team that failed to score in one game and got three in the second against such overwhelming scores of 18 . and 15 will have a great chance of holding the trophy. National Biscuits won the championship of the Commercial League for the second on Wednesday when they defeated the Malkin team iri the second game of the series by 6 runs to 4 This is the second year the Biscuits team have won the honors. ��������� ������������������"' The war is calling for the services of the young athletes of the Dominion, and the boys are responding nobly. Among those who have lately joined the ranks are Harry Broadbent and Leth Graham, members of the Ottawa hockey club, which played here last winter. These lads have joined at the capital, and with some of the Montreal and Toronto stars, will be in the trenches soon. Stanley O'Kell, of Victoria, well known in lacrosse circles, has also joined for service, overseas.

NIXON DEAD Many Vancouver, friends of Rev.. Dr.. Thomas Nixon, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church at Kamloops, will regret to hear of his demise, which occurred at London, Ontario, on Monday. Dr. Nixon was one of the brightest men of the Presbyterian church in Canada, and held several important pastorates. Several years ago he accepted ,a call to Kamloops, and had a successful ministry there until failing health compelled him to resign about a year ago. Deceased was a native of Belfast, Ireland, and was a brother-in-law of Rev. A. E.

M The celebration was of the beginning 6t the second year of the war. The past is gone, and there cannot be the going over the same groundtagain. But the present and the future are with or for us still. At the beginning of the war -we estimated the necessary output of strength on the part of the Empire. We then believed tbat tlie services of, the fleet and the moral support given by a small expeditionary force would be sufficient.- x We now know that this has not proven to be sufficient. Later we believed that the services of the navy and of an ariny of three millions of men would be abundant. We now have, grave reason to doubt this. - To-day we are facing the fact that it will take the united manhood of the Empire in addition to pur fleet ami the three million arraysto Jmngjthe desired result. ���������the"spirit manife^d^inV"^the consecration services show that there will be no shrinking- f from this measure of sacrifice.

NEWS FROM PRIVATE WILLIAM LONSDALE During the early months bf the war the British and Canadian newspapers contained many despatches in reference to Private Tyilliam Lonsdale and his adventures as a prisoner of war in Germany. Word now comes that Lonsdale, who is still a prisoner of war> is in good health and that he is undergoing a sentence of fifteen years in- prison. The last previous news received concerning Lonsdale was that a sentence of twenty years ' imprisonment which had been imposed on him Vhad been revised and *ne death penalty substituted. ��������� The case of Lonsdale early in the year attracted considerable attention. He Was condemned by court-martial for an attack on a. guard at the Doberitz prison camp and sentenced to death. The Lord Mayor of Leeds���������^the prisoner's native town���������appealed to the American minister at The Hague to urge that Lonsdale be not put to death, and both the minister and the American ambassador to Germany took an interest in the case and sought to have the -death sentence commuted. In February it was announced that the sentence had been changed to twenty years' imprisonment, but in April-ot was stated that the supreme military court had confirmed the death sentence.

If this ���������were not so, a just God would never allow hell to exist. Crime, unpunished, unrestrained, unprevented; criminals un- eured; greed, cruelty, malice, allowed to riot unchecked; purity and innocence unprotected from rapacity arid lust; a universe given* over to lawlessness, would be infinitely worse than the hell which Jonathan, Edwards, Milton and Dante portrayed. ^iW^Jf^ffilL- hut_ vthejrprhi has suffered experiences that are worse than war. The'massacre of St. Bartholomew was worse than the war bravely fought by the Netherlands to defend their country from Spanish despotism. The massacre of. the' unresisting Armenians was worse, than the Crimean war. The massacre of the unresisting Jews was worse than the Russo-Japanese war. Worse than the civil war Would have been ihe cowardly acquiescence of a once liberty-loving people that they allowed an empire with slavery for its cornerstone to be erected extending from' the Ohio river to the Isthmus of Panama. Worse than the Spanish-American war would have been a re creant America acquiescing in the cruelties perpetrated under the Weyler regime on the help less Cubans. There is a price too great to pay for peace. To.consent to injustice, to leave the defence less undefended, to submit V in craven spirit to despotism, to flee from peril with duties unfulfilled���������these are far too high a purchase price to pay for peace It is ^stated that in Italy alone 1,860 tons of orange blossoms and 1,000 tons of rose petals are consumed annually in_ the manu facture of her exquisite perfumes What do you know about the Pacific Great Railway ?
