PROHIBITION A WINNER "YOU HAVE A WINNER,V said a hoteHceeper ; recently in reply to a question as to his opinion on Prohibition.r A brewery owner said "The local trade will be dead within a year and a half because by then'there will be provincial prohibition." .These expressions represent views voiced by hundreds of citizens who are not prohibitionists and go to show that "Prohibition is a winner," and we will succeed if given a fair chance. Two questions have been asked and it is well to answer them promptly. First, why did. the convention ask that the vote on prohibition be taken apart from an election f Secondly, why did they wish to draw the bill and have not the liquor interests a right to that privilege as well* As to the first question the answer is that it is desired to keep this question out of politics and if the campaign synchronized with the provincial political campaign it was sure to become involved in party strife. Some men would promise support to catch votes without any intention of carrying out the pledge. This question should be disposed of prior to an election. As to .the other question, it is pointed out that we must know definitely what we are voting on. A Plebiscite only determines the, principle, and it is very easy to draft a bill which is unworkable, and also later, raise a controversy as to what the Plebiscite really meant anyway. By presenting a bill it relieves the government of all responsibility and places it upon those who claim to have the electorate behind them, and if carried it is final. Why not let the licenced victuallers draw the bill? If they have a proposal which they are willing to initiate and back,' let them go ahead, but in this case they are directly opposed to the movement, therefore, can only negative the question and certainly cannot in the very nature of things expect to draw the measure; in other words they cannot be- both "negative" -and "positive" at the same time. ' The government will *%o well to recognize that this is v a spontaneous outburst of public opinion and as such merits.,the utmost respect and consideration.

Some of the most prominent men_in China seem to have reached the opinion that a sterner rule than that of a republic is needed to govern the tremendous masses of the Chinese people. Prof. Frank Johnson Goodnow, of Johns Hopkins University, iegal adviser to the Chinese Government, says that for China a monarchy is a better form of government than a republic. COMPULSORY SERVICE IN INDUSTRY IT MUST BE EXCEEDINGLY gratifying to every British subject to learn from authoritative sources that conscription is unnecessary to get the required army. ' No finer tribute could be paid to a great people than that they are willing, voluntarily, to offer themselves in sufficient numbers for the enormous .task which Great Britain has under- ��������� taken. They are fighting for the integrity of the Empire. They are doing something even higher and .nobler than that. They are defending the cause of Belgium. This small, weak nation has not appealed to the British in vain. The response in two and a half million men, and billions of dollars, to preserve the independence of the small nations. The history of the world does not contain a better example of high ideals of democracy than this response of the British nation to preserve Belgium- independence. That it could be accomplished without compulsory service is something which the Kaiser probably is; unable to understand. He does not know the temper of the British people. While we are opposed to conscription except as the last resort, we believe that compulsory service for the manufacture of. munitions would be a reasonable and proper measure. It is one thing to force a man to give his services to industrial purposes, and something entirely different to compel him to give his life. It is true that the great democracy of the United States was saved by compulsory ..'service. In past) times, England resorted to it.But it is gratifying to realize that the nation has got past that stage in its existence and development, and that it has reached a height where nearly every man rcognizes his duty to serve. Those who object to compulsory service in the industrial life of the country at this time should receive no consideration. Selfishness is added to cowardice with them. They will not volunteer' for active service, -nor will they accept compulsory employment in order to enable their brethren in France to succeed. There is/no serious hardship in any man's being compelled for a year or two. to work the full limit ef his strength, especially while his neighbors are offering tfceir lives every day 'to preserve" his liberty. K Lloyd*George finds it necessary to* exercise the power which the government possesses' under the statutes .to compel men to work in the munition factories, he will have the support and the sympathy of K' every right-thinking loyal British citizen. ���������Sentinel. THE MOST POPULAR MAN IN FRANCE THE MOST POPULAR man in France, the most ,, widely respected abroad, is probably Joseph Jacques jQesaire Joffre. He seems to be a man without roots, owing as little to Nature as to nurture. A Southerner, he possesses hardly any characteristic Southern trait. He is patient, silent calm; with a Southern warmth of friendship he has shown that he can sacrifice it to his conception of duty. His parents were inconspicuous (his father was a cooper); yet he showed at school a gift for. mathematics j and .entered the Ecole Polytechnique, the youngest eadet, near the head of the list. ,( His present, again, seems to have little root in ��������� his career. At forty-two he was still a major, serving under a colonel some years his "junior. From that point his promotion was a little more rapid. But his life in the army "could hardly be called brilliant of particularly significant until in 1910, he entered the Superior War Council. The following year he was appointed vice-president, a position which harries with itr the responsibilities of. commander-in-chief in,case of war. Those who came into contact with him . were not left long in doubt as to the manner of < man he is. He began to organize and reorganize. Like Kitchener, he had been an engineer, and the engineers attract and breed a certain . type of mind. The engineer has to deal with 4 strictly calculable factors which produce verifiable results. It is a cool, scientific craft, and one who has been habituated to it for a period of years comes to act almost by instinct in a cool and confident way. This is the character of General, Joffre. His ^normal expression is confident. There is a deliberation even about the movements of his massive ���������u figure, whose bulk dwarfs its height. He/ has one quality of greatness���������simplicity. His- military directions are notably simple in comparison with-the subtlety of the conceptions which shape" them. A-PVANOE OF HfmUHSM i ___.__________ WAR HAS EMPHASIZED the cohesive qualities of the British empire. It has brought Canada. Australia, South Africa and India into closer relationship with the mother country. , We have demonstrated our unity' of purpose and action. " Before the war broke out imperialism did not ,have the marked support it has to-day. In this country there was conflicting opinion on the merits of autonomy as against an imperial federation. Since Germany, started out to gain, her world domination we have realized the virtue1 and. the strength of ' interdependency, s Against a common foe we have pooled our resources, fighting all for one and one forVall. future than it has in the past. It may involve greater, obligations and responsibilities, but it will; bring added prestige. /The oldVbr^er of things is changing. The component parts of the British empire areV being welded in the crucible of war. When we emerge from the struggle imperial Britain will stand for the highest expression of national unity. The overseas dominions will have won the voice they deserved in the government of the empire for the good of the whole. We find this .sentiment expressed in the Manchester, England, Times, which had this to say in a recent issue: ���������_''One cannot consider imperial aspects of the war, without recognizing the anomalous position of the overseas dominions in our scheme of things. They have* been involved in a war in the making of which they had no word to say. They realize that their interests and ours are identical. We know that they will be consulted upon the terms of peace; but it is all informal in character, lacking in organization, and therefore unsatisfactory. We must look forward to the formation in the near future of a true parliament of empire, in which all the self-governing states of the empire will be represented, along with the united kingdom. With that imperial senate must lie the" making of peace and the waging of war, the provision of naval and military resources adequate to our needs, and all kindred matters that, concern the empire, as a whole." KINDNESS AND CHARACTER AMONG THE LAST THINGS Elbert Hubbard did before sailing on the Lusitania was to write from New York to an office boy, asking for an increase in wages.- The. note had been overlooked in the hurry of getting away, but was found in some papers gathered up at the last minute. The letter was kind, fatherly, contained a suggestion as to a personal habit of the lad, and promised the advance asked for. That little service rendered a boy amid the, pressing duties connected with .the preparations for a long journey is like a door opening into the inner life and revejjiling the secret spring_of conduct and character. 'X ���������.''k'js&Bi THE PHLEGMATIC BRITISHER THE BRITISH IS BORN with an equable~and - ' composed temperament. His emotions are :. forced into' the channel of that temperament -hjr hia own distaste,^! outward show, and mo^e,, 6y his life's companions' distaste for outward show. Whatever his emotions they are forced to flow in the same groove, and therefore, he does not change. He is always the same, whether he is going at a steady jog-trot through business life, or whether he is fighting Germany. And being always the same, yoircan neither make him excited���������that is in the hysterical German or the emotional Gallic ways���������on the battlefield, or afraid. He is always himself, and himself has not altered for a century. War to him must be carried on in the same way as his ledgers were ���������filled up, and his lawn mown in civilian life. In. the former state he frequently paused to light a pipe and contemplate the universe, in his new state he continues the habit. In one of the fights a private smoked steadily as he fired at the advancing Germans. He puffed at his cigarette between his shots, put the cigarette on a stone, fired, and took the cigarette again.

Chemist) Fresh vegetables are wholesome, palatable and productive of good health. Though in direct food value yegetabjes yield a first place to meats, it must not be supposed they Are destitute of those nutriments which build up the body tissue and keep the machinery going. It would be possible, though not desirable, to live exclusively on vegetable foods. But vegetables, and especially fresh vegetables, are not to be regarded merely from the standpoint of maintenance, though we assert that now-a-days they would make a good showing on the ground of economy. Nor need we urge their extensive use on the grounds simply that they are appetizing and furnish variety to diet. They, in addition, to those excellent qualities, possess a medicinal value; they are aids' to* digestion and afford that bulk or volume to the food necessary for the right, distension of the alimentary t tract. Many vegetables contain salts which are gently * laxative, relieving constipation, that scourge that is the forerunner of so many dangerous and not infrequently fatal, diseases. And again, many vegetables, especially those used in salads, have a special value in cooling the blood, and, are, therefore, most wholesome, especially in the summer season. Fresh vegetables are vastly superior to those that are wilted from keeping a day or two, in succulence, crispness and palatability. To.be enjoyed at their best, vegetables must be eaten strictly fresh. ,;'; MOSCOW AND CENTRAL RUSSIA CENTRAL RUSSIA, with Moscow, the ancient capital of the Gear, as1 its focal point; is_at once the richest and the most thickly popul-~ ated part (93.73 to the'square mile) of the Empire. This region contains eighteen governments covering-an area of 480,000 square miles, less than one-half of the Petrograd district, but with more than twice the population, vis., 45,000,000. It is roughly two-fifths of the total-area of European Russia ,and stretches from Minsk in ^the west to the frontiers,of Siberia and of Central Asia,, a distance, ol 1,500 miles. A closer idea may be obtained if. Central Russia is 'compared to an area equal to Germany, France, 8witse*������ land, Belgium, Holland and Denmark, and a pop-, ulation equal to that .of the United Kingdom. As may be expected the large towns are both. larger and more -numerous than elsewhere ( in Russia.Moscow had, in 1912, a population of'l,- 617,000, and there weae also at least ten cHiei with populations ranging from 40,000 to 80,000; ten of from 100,000 to 170,000, and one each of 190,000 and of 225,000 inhabitants. Railway communications are, for Russia, relatively well developed here, and to the south, but, compared ' with Canada, the mileage is relatively small* la!. 1914, Russia had 32 1-2 miles of railway.per - 100,000 inhabitants, or one mile for every. 3,125 of the population, against/Canada's one mile for every 200 of her inhabitants. Russia, how- ever, is beginning to realize the economic significance of. railway expansion, and from other points of view the lessons of the present war may be expected to accelerate railway development. Moscow as a Business Centre As a place of business Moscow occupies a unique position. The interests located there control and serve the enormous area* of which the city .'forms literally, the geographical centre in , all matters of supply and demand for a mainly' agricultural country, and it is through the Moscow merchants and agency houses, that foreign, imports are brought'more directly before .-the'' consume**. With characteristic , enterprise the ' Moscow |aerohantaJjM������ also organized and may - be said itHi|k'a4(iiri^TTO' Siberian trade. Many'ox the most successful bf her citizens are Siberianr born, who find' it 'desirable to reside in Moscow, to direct the financing and the purchasing end of their business operations. Finally, industrial Russia may be said to centre in this city, wber* the Moscow Manufacturers' Association alone forms almost a party in the State* and exercises a potent influence on tbe tariff policy ot the country. They are responsible for the Russian textile industries, which centre mainly here, the iron and steel industry, and many other manufactures, which are financed with local capital. It was Moscow's initiative also that started cotton-growing in the Caucasus and Central Asia^ which now supplies a considerable portion of the raw material of the country's cotton trade. The air of business which pervades this strange but fascinating city is attractive to a westerner. Business men are more accessible than elsewhere. They seem to have a grip of affairs and they pursue definite methods in their dealings, which lead to quick decision and execution. These qualities coupled with a strong local patriotism and self-confidence form the driving power of Moscow's citizens; which cannot fail to secure for. the city can ever-increasing influence in the political and economic development of Russia. 4 I Jr. . ^ I' ��������� X������| j>~'~ "*{ JV lilAI^IJiOUS OgJJNCTS FOR YEARS ADVANCED THINKERS have been advocating the conservation of energy by nationalizing industry, but few of them dreamt that their visions could come true for a century or two at the earliest.

When employers and employed are arraigned over against one another in organized associations, it is inevitable that differences, by which peace is threatened, must from time to time arise between them. These differences may be concerned either with matters in themselves trifling, such as the treatment accorded to some small group of workmen, or with larger issues touching the general rate of wates or hours of labor. Whether a difference is large or small, it is, in the last resort, a difference between the two organizations. To attain agreement without conflict on terms reasonably satisfactory is obviously, when practicable, much to the advantage alike of the employers and the employed in any industry. Consequently, it is not surprising to find that in advanced industrial communities, the more highly organized industries have evolved, aR it were, exceedingly efficient 'orms of peace-promoting machinery. The classical home of these wholly voluntary arrangements is the United Kingdom. Elaborate systems' have been established for the representation in conference of employers and employed by persons whose business it is to discuss and wherever possible, to adjust, any matter of difference that arises. These systems fall into two main groups, in one of which the proceedure is wholly byway of conciliation, no provision being made for the solution of an " ultimate deadlock, while in the other, when conciliation fails, resort is had to' the arbitrament of a neutral chairman. Now each of these two types of arrangement is evidently capable, when worked in a friendly spirit, of doing much to promote industrial , peace. Neither type, however, is adeqilate to prevent strikes and lock-outs in all cases. Purely conciliatory schemes may be broken into by conflict even during the period of their currency and schemes in which provision is made for arbitration may fail to be "renewed when this period comes to,an end. Consequently in recent years, attempts have been made by public authorities to supplement private efforts af- ler industrial ^ peace by the offer of official mediation in cases where the danger of a rupture seems imminent. The idea is not to supplant negotiation between the parties directly concerned, but rather to supplement and assist it. In some cases the offer of mediation may only be made on the- request of one or other of the parties. Experience gives reason to believe that mediation, skilfully and sympathetically conducted, can often bring about the adjustment of differences that would otherwise have led to a stoppage of work. For it affords an opportunity to one side or the other to make concessions without the loss of dignity, and it brings into prominence the fact, apt to be lost sight, of in the heat of controversy, that the general public as well as the parties directly concerned, have an interest in peace. There is, however, in mediation of the kind so far discussed, an obvious imperfection. The "good offices" of the public authority which seeks to intervene may be refused by one or' other of the parties, or they may be accepted and yet prove unable to bridge the differences; and there is then nothing further to be done. In view of this defect in purely optional mediation, the Dominion of Canada passed a law called the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. <4Q. B.M Means Quigley Brand Sweater Coats. "Q. B."

"Buy Goods Made at Home, and get both the Goods and the Money." This law is not of general application, but refers exclusively to certain industries in which there is reason to believe that a stoppage of work would prove exceptionally injurious to the community as a whole. The industries covered are mining, transportation, all f.orms of railway service, the supply of 'electricity or other motive power, the working of steamships, the telegraph and telephone services, gas and water supply. Practically speak- in g, the Act comes into play in regard to these industries whenever a stoppage of work is seriously threatened, and it cannot be successfully evaded by the joint refusal of both parties to invoke it. The principal provisions are the following: Thirty days' notice must be given of any proposed change in the terms of contract between employers and employed. If a proposed change is resisted by the other side, a strike or lock-out in reference to it is prohibited under penalties, until the dispute has been investigated by a board appointed by public authority, and until this board has made a report together with recommendations as to proper terms of settlement for publication by the Minister of Labor. When the report has been published there is no obligation upon either party to accept its recommendations, and a stoppage of work may legally take place. But until the report is published, such a stoppage is prohibited by law and renders every individual taking part in h\liable to a fine; in the case of employers engaging in a lock-out of from $100 %o $1,Q00 per day; in the case of work people engaged in a, strike, of from $10 to $50 per day. This law, it, will be noticed, has two distinct aspects. On the one hand it enforces delay, inquiry and discussion, from which it is hoped a settlement by agreement will emerge; on the other hand, when such a settlement is not attained, it endeavors, by the publishing of the Board's recommendation, to secure the acceptance of those recommendations through the pressure of public opinion. Of these two aspects of the law, recent investigators seem to agree that the former has proved in practice the most important. The other aspect of "the law is, however, not without significance. It is true fhat, as regards trifling disputes, in which the general public takes small interest,, little pressure from pub lie opinion can be evoked, and that in all disputes, when once the passion of conflict is aroused, even strong pressure may be ignored. But, when the issue is one which seriously ��������� affects the whole community by threatening to disorganize, say, the railway service or the coal supply, public opinion is a force which must at least be reckoned with. It is interesting to observe, for example, that in a number of cases, where one or other of the parties has at first refused to accept the recommendations of a Board and a strike, or_ Jock^out has taken place, the dispute has ultimately been settled substantially on the basis of the Board's proposals. Under the Canadian Act, as has already been observed, if the parties remain intractable alike to efforts at conciliation and to the suasion of opinion, strikes and lock-outs can ultimately take place without any infringement of the law. The Australian colonies have introduced a type of legislation under which not only does a publicly appointed Board recommend terms for the settlement of differences but the terms so recommended are legally binding, and a strike or lock-out against them is a punishable offence. This type of legislation when fully developed, closes that loop-hole for a stoppage of work which the Canadian law leaves open. Generally FEUIT PACKING TIME IN B. C. ONE OF B. O'D. LABGE LUMBERING MANUFAOTUEING PLANTS not unduly to discourage settlement by discussion and conciliation, but the principal stress is laid on preventing resort to a strike or lockout in those difficult cases where less heroic expedients have failed. In New Zealand, contrary to a common opinion, a small loop-hole is left. For the compulsory arbitration law of that colony applies only to unions of work people registered under the law. Individual employers and unions who break the law are liable to a heavy penalty, and in case a union fails to pay, its individual members are liable to a fine, which may be collected by means of a writ of attachment of wages. No surprise need be caused by the circumstance that in the Australasian colonies, in spite of their coersive laws, stoppage of work, on account of industrial disputes have in fact occurred. This is only to be expected, just as it is only to be expected that thefts and murders will occasionally take place in de-' fiance of. laws penalizing these acts. The advocates of compulsory arbitration laws do not deny this. Their claim is, not that these laws can create "a country without strikes," but that, by in- voki^g a pressure more direct and potent than that of unorgan- ied opinion, they can render stoppages of work less frequent than they would otherwise be. There is considerable difference of opinion as to whether or not the best, interests of the community are served by the institution of these things, of legislation on the Canadian or on the Australasian model. A very important objection oftens urged against compulsory investigation and compulsory arbitration alike is that they necessarily tend in arreater or less degree, to check the up-building of voluntary systems of conciliation and arbitration by the joint efforts of employers and employed in tbe various industries. These systems, it is urged, are valuable, not merely as agencies of peace, but also as agencies for promoting mutual sympathy and understanding between employers and work people- Peace- enforced by external pressure is, doubtless, still peace and, so far, 'a bitterness and hostility, and is much inferior to that peace and goodwill which, had conflict not been forcibly suppressed, might before long have emerged from its ashes. PEACE AND THE PROFESSORS No American seeking a correct estimate of German purpose in the present war should overlook the document prepared by German professors and setting forth their views of proper terms pf peace. It is an admirable disclosure of what is in the German mind and was there when the war began. Germany, says this excellent ae.idemic document, should annex Belgium and all of France north of a linev drawn from Belfort to the mouth of the Somme river. This, with certain unfixed indemnities, is the price Peranceis to pay to Germany. .Now, exactly what does this mean in terms of human beings and of territory? Before the war Belgium contained 7,800,000 inhabitants living on about 11,- 000 square miles. The French territory to be annexed amounts to 27,000 square miles, which before the war contained 4,700,000 people. Germany, then, the professors reason,, is-entitled to take over 12,500.000 French and Belgian people. In other words, and the point should be fixed in American minds, 12,500,000 people, four times as many people as there were in the thirteen colonies that fought our revolution, are to be placed under an alien rule, deprived of the right to choose Phone Seymour 817 r STOREY & CAMPBELL 518-520 BEATTY ST.

Frye" on the ground that she.was "carrying foodstuffs to an enemy country." And now she would have the United States protest to Great Britain for her audacity in stopping ships (not sinking them) who are doing the same thing. Ridiculous. The W. P. Frye it will be remembered was sunk before the order in council effecting foodstuffs had heen passed by the British government, which makes the protest even, more ridiculous. ��������� ��������� . ��������� The commander of the U boat that sank the Arabic has not returned up to date.

Besides, just consider what they have now proved themselves to be in a position to do against us without landing a single man in England. _ I pointed out a few weeks ago that the guns used for bombarding Dunkirk had their home near Dixmude and that with these guns at Calais it would be easy to bombard Dover, although, of course, the ability to fire shells across the straits of Dover does not at all imply command of the pea between the shores of France and England. But it will now be brought home to the minds of most of us as well as the British navy and army what we are really fighting for, since there are signs in some places that they have never quite realized this before, nor the tremendous seriousness and difficulty of the job they have taken on. The average Tommy will tell you if you ask him that he is fighting to uphold the sacredness of treaties and to wreak vengeance on the despoilers and oppressors of a brave little people like the Belgians; but I rather think he has never yet quite risen to a clear understanding of what would be the consequences to this country if the Germans were allowed1 to retain possession of Belgium, which would alsp imply their absorption of Holland and their acquisition of* the coast line from the Scheldt to the Seine.

This war has dissillusioned us about many things, and among others the feasibility of an invasion of Great Britain. I confess I was one of those who believed that even if, the Germans were to gain the mastery of the sea by some inconceivable- and most unlikely freak of the fortunes of war, they would, nevertheless, never be able to effect a landing on our shores in face of modern fire and defencable methods of the latest kind. But I think so no longer, after what we ourselves have just done ,in the Dardanelles, and done,v too, after giving the Turks a mouth or so notice of our intention to do it so that they had more than ample time to prepare for giving us a hot reception, including the construction of barbed-wire entanglements we read .;' in some places "50 yards wide'' ���������Good heavens!."and supported by artillery."

Once at Calais, the Germans; as we have seen, could -easily land their shells at Dover,,even if they couldn't land barge loads of their men, and that would always be something for them to brag about and keep their spirits up.

One of the cleverest men in England is Horatio Bottomley, editor of John Bull. After being mixed up in many transactions one of which caused him to leave the House of Commons, he is now playing to the1 gallery in that well known play, "The Master Patriot," with himself in the title role, and offers shares of John Bull at a sovereign apiece which he advertises in his own paper is to help him to reenter parliament.

If so I hope the "business government" will be able' to keep out of the law courts. Many people, and important people too, when spoken to about the United States and Germany say "What can America do?" or "they can do nothing." These wiseacres are a little bit dense for I imagine the United States if she went the right way about it could bring this war to an end in a very, short time. The United States has great influence with the small nations adjoining Germany on the west, who are all smarting under the blows delivered at their ships hy the German U boats and sick of German arrogance. She could form a league with the Netherlands, Sweden,. Denmark and Norway, and send 250,000 troops and supplies for the Butch army, attack the hosts of the Kaiser from Holland, and then, we should not be long before peace was within sight. In fact she could do many things, but it appears to me she has no thoughts of anything except the Almighty dollar. _���������_ . ___ ___ \ **��������� "* " <���������������' Jos. H.

The water-power wealth of Canada is one of the principal assets of the country, and it is most urgent that not only the governments but also individuals interested in water- power schemes should recognize vthe importance of expert regulation and control of our streams.

While the straining liquid is heating, select some small firm, ripe tomatoes just big enough to slip into the jars. Place- these in boiling water for a. moment, core and peel. Pack carefully in the jars without crowding or spoiling their shape. Add a level' teaspoonful of salt to each quart and fill up the jars with the Strained hot liquid.

Friday, September 3^ 1915. HARVESTING OPERATIONS The party in South Africa who have held that their sovernment did wrong : to use the' defence force for an attack on an "inoffensive neighbor" cannot maintain their ground in the face of such revelations as General Botha made. He puts it beyond doubt that Germany reckoned on. Boer help to overrun the Union, and guaranteed to Maritz the independence of the old Republics-in return for a swift and successful rebellion. Whether the Kaiser would have carried out his promise is more than ever doubtful, .now that. General Botha has found, among other interesting evidences of the great plot a map of Africa for 1916, in which tbe whole of the south- of the continent is represented as "Greater Germany" with a small "Buer reserve"! In any case it ;is now pro red beyond question that the Union's campaign against tbe Germans was not only the "great service" to the Imperial cause for which Britain asked at the beginning of the war but was also very really a defence of South Africa itself. The bitterest Hertzogite cannpt how represent the attack as a "fighting of England's battles." It was a national campaign, undertaken to remove a long-standing menace and" frustrate a well-matured plot, and as such it must now appear to every patriotic Aficander. Moreover, Germany has in truth, as General Botha makes clear, forfeited her right to the land by her treatment.of its people as much as by the ulterior uses to which she put her occupation; She made a cijiel bungle of her -relations with, the Herrero natives, and when re-, pression had no results but distrust and reprisals;' she sought to enforce peace by a war of extermination. It is not surprising that the Union troops found .themselves hailed as deliverers by the natives in many parts, 8nd it will be with the goodwill of the black people as well as pf the hundreds of Boer farmers who fled across the border after the South African war that the vUnion will undertake the administration of her1 new' territory. The remarkable speech in which, General Smutz followed General Botha makes it clear, if there could ever have been any doubt on the subject, that the Union .will not, unless compelled, relinquish what it has wori.-���������Mau- chester Guardian. . J Harvesting is general throughout the province of Saskatchewan at the present time. The farmers are experienceing considerable difficulty in securing sufficient farm help to gather in the crop. Experienced farm laborers are being brought .from-British. Columbia to assist in reaping-Saskatchewan's harvest. The Saskatchewan Labor Bureau is .opening offices at Vancouver, Victoria; Prince Rupert and New Westminster. T. M. Molloy, superintendent of the Labor Bureau at Regina, has just returned from a trip to British Columbia,;where he completed arrangements!���������* for the opening of these offices,! It is estimated that close upon 2,000 experienced farm hands will be brought into the province from British Columbia to assist in harvesting operations. Special rates on the railways are being arranged for, and while there will be no excursions, harvesters will be brought east on regular trains at very low rates. From figures received by the Labor Department of the Saskatchewan government, close on 2,500 men had up to the time of writing been sent into the harvest fields of the province through the various local. employment offices, opened at the principal centres of the province. At the Regina office 750 men have been sent out since the office opened on July .22. We ixmnd ourselves with no lumber to construct sluice boxes and ] gutters to carry water to the gardens. Most of the men have been.1 ^drafted into the Turkish fight- \ ing ranks, and the women have worked heroically to save theJ crops.

We have been visited by a plague of locusts, and trees and vegetation are ruined. .1 can conservatively estimate the losses at Jaffa and its vicinity alone at $30,000,000.

Have Had Long Service Commissioner and Mrs. Sow ton are not strangers to the bulk of Canadian Soldiers and friends, as during" their ten-months' stay in Canada in 1908, they travelled extensively, nevertheless, the following facts concerning their career may be of interest at this time: Commissioner Charles Sowton has been an officer for thirty-two years, during which.time he has held almost every Field position in The Army. His first foreign appointment was the Territorial Leadership of Norway, which had only- been opened nine months; then followed the Territorial Leadership: of Denmark; the Chief Secretaryship of Sweden, under the command successively of. Commissioner Bidsdel and Commissioner Oliphant; the oversight of the Scandinavian Work in America; a second term as Territorial Commander in Denmark, where The Army had, of ,co.urse, greatly grown; the Chief Secretaryship in Canada; and the Chief Secretaryship of India and Ceylon. The Commissioner tells some excellent stories of the early bat- .tles against prejudice and misunderstanding. Jn Norway the opposition was particularly fierce, Salvationists being denounced as wolves in sheep's .clothing, and the people being warned against them. A certain chief of police, who was especially embittered, openly declared that he would keep The Ar&3r%ut of bis town. One method he adopted was to forbid any one to let the Salvationists a Hall; :��������� . , ..XX.x;XX\_ It so happened that thisN same chief of police hacl aXbuilding siteifor^sale-in oneVof-the^most commanding positions. Commissioner Sowton demonstrated his astuteness by prevailing upon a friendly builder in a neighboring town to purchase the site-.and erect thereon a building suitable for Salvation Army use. He bought it, the chief of police asking nb questions, and when it was too late, that enemy of the Cause found to his dismay that he, the very person who had vowed that he would keep the Salvationists out, was the one to let them in. ' A fact which may be said to contribute -still further to Commissioner Sowton's fitness for advancing The General's scheme of development in Canada West is his nineteen5 years' association with the Scandinavian Work of The Army, not in the three North European Kingdoms alone, but in the United States, where, as is well known, there are three and a half millions of those sturdy people. Now, the Commissioner and his capable wife are British born. For the past seven years, to be sure; they have largely been. Indians, and they would as heartily become Koreans or Jav anese or Zulus, if they were call ed upon to labour among such people. But if'they are one thing more than: another, next to being British, Commissioner and Mrs. Sowton are Scandinavians, A large part of their officership has been spent in Norway, Denmark/and Sweden, and during the time he had charge of. the Scandinavian Work'in the United States, the Commissioner spoke practically nothing but Swedish for eleven years. . Mount Pleasant people and Vancouver people in general, will welcome this opportunity of meet- COMMISSIOHEB and MBS. SOWTOWing the Commisioner and his wife. BRIGADIER J. 8.

Seymour: 5408-5409 NELLIE McOLUNG ON WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE Mrs. Nellie McClung, the noted author and lecturer, addressed a full house in Wesley Methodist church on Saturday evening on "Woman Suffrage./' Rev. Dr. McKay occupied the chair and introduced the speaker. Mrs. McClung opened her remarks with an answer to the question, "Should Women Think?" Mrs. McClung said that if women must always submit to present man-made legislation that sheltered so many evils, then it was a crime for women to think. If these things must always be, then it were better for womankind to shut up her mentality and refuse to exercise it at all, for the penalty of thinking would be too great, Briefly reviewing the history of suffrage, Mrs. McClung reminded the audience that there had been a time when women in England had enjoyed the franchise on very much the same basis as did the men. But when the working men, beginning to realize that they were human beings, clamored for and obtained the right to a voice in national procedings, the electorate grew too cumbersome, and the. women were thrown overboard to light, en the ship. Ever since then the women had been following the ship, crying to be taken on again; and although there were some who would reach down to help them aboard, there were those who would fain shove them back into the water. The arguments used as weapons in keeping the women out had been many and varied; and to the frail feminine mind they seemed so diverse as to be contradictory. For example, it was claimed that women, if they had the ballot, would be so enamored with their new possession that they would -forsake all other pursuits and duties in the following of politics and public life. Again, it was declared that _ women wquldn t use the ballot if they did have it. It was argued that it would despoil domestic happiness because political, disagreements would enter into the sanctuary of the home, and at the same time it was argued^ that women would have no mind of her own in the matter, but would merely vote the way her husband did. To all this Mrs. McClung asked: "Were you men asked what you were going to do with the ballot when you got it' Wasnt it given to you merely because you were a human being and twenty-one? You weren't asked whether you were intelligent, moral or wise. Women are asking for the vote on the same basis. They want a voice in their own government because it is a sign of spiritual independence, a mark, of individuality. They also want the ballot as a weapon with which to fight against the things that threaten home and children." This was no time for the chivalrous man to deny his helpmate a weapon. It is a mean man th$t denies his womankind the weapon of. the ballot with which to stand between the world and her children, if the matter has been squarely put up to him." Mrs. McClung had something sharp to say against the woman who was indifferent���������the woman who was too comfortably sheltered to have a concern bow ber sister less fortunate fared. She drew attention to a picture that had appeared in a leading monthly depicting a waning honeymoon, where the ship of , matrimony seemed bound lor troubled waters. The artist had drawn a be- frilled bride at her breakfast table gracefully posed and waiting for admiration wbich did not come, for her lord and master was deeply engrossed in his newspaper. "Now why," questioned *Mrs. HcClung, "didn't she have the other half of 'the ne^vs- paper, instead of pouting because ne wasn't taking notice of her frills*?" This class of woman was the hardest proposition that suffragists had to deal with. They did not hear the cry of the little children and toiling women from the streets, who sent out a petition, "Come dowh and help us." In closing, Mrs. Mc- McClung reminded those who were already laboring that "we are working this thing out not only f.or ourselves, but for all peoples the world over; for we are bound . together with gold chains about the feet of God." In reply to a question asked aftej the address as to whether women should busy themselves with suffrage during the period of the war, or whether they should devote all their time to the war and its needs, Mrs. McClung said: V "The only ray of hope we have in this war is that it will be the last one. There is nothing more horrible than the thought that theX struggle being fought out now is not for all time���������that there will be another one. Yet Ave have no assurance that there will not be another one; and I believe that there can be no such assurance until the hand* of the mother comes into" the guiding of affairs of state. I believe that now, of all times, suffrage should be a more active theme than ever."

SPORTING COMMENT The Passing of the Mag ���������y The tit-bit of local sport during the past week was the final game of the 6. C. Amateur Lacrosse League which took place at New "Westminster on Saturday last, when the young Salmonbellies defeated the V. A. C. by~ the score of 11 to 1 and captured the famous Mann cup.

Dhe amateur association should get a move on and put up a trophy worth the prestige of the amateur athletic union of Canada.

It was a hand-over pure and simple. It is noticeable however the lack of interest manifested in the V. A. C. this season. Last year when the Brampton team came this way for a try at the cup the great professional fiasco started and Joe Lally, the cup trustee, is still busy making a fool of himself and his confreres on the trustee board over the matter. In our opinion there is no question but that the Vancouver team were at fault, and it would have been a good thing for amateur, lacrosse if the cup had changed hands right then. The conduct of the men behind the Vancouver team in ringing in players for the second game with the easterners was certainly most unsportsmanlike and sounded the death knell of the V. A. C. there and then. Since that time the champions have been slipping, and the general public are not slow to see that there must be something radicklly wrong when the amateur champions of the world cannot field a full team' in defence of the trophy.

The baseball leagues, both in Canada and the U. S. have not been 'the success this season that they have been in other years, which is chiefly attributable to financial stringency, and the desire of the fans to follow the greater game which is being played in Europe at the present time. Like all other professional sport, baseball is a luxury, not a necessity. Some of. the leagues have fallen down woefully this year ' and have suspended operations altogether. ' In the Northwestern the league' was reduced to a four-team association'in mid-season, and since then has been operated with only indifferent success. The composition of the teams has been improved by the division of players after the blow up of the Victoria and Aberdeen teams, and the race for the pennant has been much improved. So far as the Beavers are concerned, while they have been putting up a good article of ball of late, their chances of landing near the top are decidedly slim. The end of the season is but three weeks away, and it looks for a certainty like Seattle and Spokane being the contenders for first place with Tacoma third and Vancouver last in the race. The games of late "have been noted for the exceptional hitting of the ball and the abnormal scores. Such scores as* 18-1 and 11-1 and I so on in baseball savor of the school league of olden times, but withal the brand of ball has been good, and as usual, the * Northwestern will be called upon^to part with several of the stars , who will next season be translated to the major leagues.

When the full history of war is written, says The London Daily Mail, the gallant fishermen who sweep the seas clear of mines will occupy a high position on the scroll of honor. It is questionable whether any branch of life offers such a sternly strenuous, arduous and hazardous calling. These men toy. with death .from the moment they leave port until they return. The mine-sweeper must have nerve. Nerve is the element with which to play the game on such, deadly errands. They are the first to face death with all ita terrors. They are the pilots into the zone of death. They scavenge the seas clean of the terrible murder floats which the barbaric enemy has strewn therein. Contact with these deadly mines means instantaneous hurling into eternity. These men go to the valley' of the shadow of death, courageously doing the mission assigned them, and come back tp the fleet heroes. Without these scavengers of the floating mines the gun power of the British squadrons would be ��������� minimized to an appalling degree. The deeds of daredeviltry at the Dardanelles and before Smyrna are imperishable. When the warship goes into action there is the opportunity of hitting backr but not so with 'the sweepers. When five of them were ordered to go,into Smyrna to sweep, the wily -Turks allowed them to steam in as far as the buoyed harbor area, and it was not until in response'to the signal to retire the sweepers helmed about and steamed full speed ahead for the protection of the battleships that the music of concealed guns began. But these boats possessed a charmed life, for not one of them suffered any serious damage. The Turkish shells fell fast and thick around them, pitching everywhere but on the objective. Sometimes the splash of the water was thrown in swamping volumes .on the decks. But the quintet came through to the.admiration of the British sailors. They had drawn the fire of the concealed forts, and thus served the purpose of their mission. Your ad. here will bring you results. J. Dixon House Phone: Bay. 886 G.

This is brought out in a bulletin of the Dominion Forestry Branch on Poles and Cross-ties which has just been prepared by the Branch and is now in the hands of the printer.

Mine sweepers work in pairs. The Beatrice and the Okino were the partners' to carry out the initial operation. The sweep was successfully achieved, and the Beatrice slipped the steel wire for the CUvino to hpave overboard. That was the last task the Okino did. Wiihin five minutes after getting the wire aboard contact with a mine or destruction by a shell sent her to her doom, and out of the complement of fifteen ten sacrificed their lives for the flag. The Beatrice had a thrilling escape. A shell struck the fore part of her funnel, smashed into the wheel- house, missed the skipper miraculously by inches and, fall- ing^-into^the: stokeholdf-rseverely wounded the engineer stoking the fireX But probably; the gallantry of Captain "Bob" Woodgate, of the sweeper Koorah, has not been excelled by any during the war. This episode took place in the Dardanelles. Of the sweeping partners, Gwendolian and Manx Hero, the latter was blown up, Koorah about and with rare sea manship manoeuvred her to the scene of the accident, though shot and shell blazed about them in the glare of the searchlights 'from the Turkish forts. To rescue the men it was imperative the small boat be launched. Wood- gate called for volunteers. At such supreme moments men are endowed with superhuman strength. Like handling a top the men on deck tossed the boat over the trawler's side.* Into it jumped three men. The shells pitched viciously about the frail craft, but the splashing water was the only * sting from the fangs of the murderous gins. The crew ot. eleven was snatched from the water, and thanks to the slcilfuOeliMi^ they were soon on the Koorah's 'deck; . , '���������������������������.-. Xx /X It was now a question of " cut and run." But Woodgate meant to do the business creditably. JHis boat was to him as sacred as' life itself, for he knew hot at what moment it would be needed. So he determined not to cut the boat adrift. Many men in similar circumstances would have chopped the painter. But Wood- gate gave the order that it mtrst be hove aboard. The heaving tackle was securely fastened/ yet,. scarcely had the bow of'the boat been lifted deckwards than a shell pi>hed clean into it, shattering it into matchwood* Then tli ere was no other alternative but to dash for the entrance. Tbe Koorah was now the only traw- lrr on which the Turks could concentrate their fire. Through the range zone with shells pelting at her from right and left Woo'dgate steered the Koorah. With admirable judgment he manofiivred his craft to the position where he observed the clanger was less acute, and came through a true British hero. The daring deed took quite ninety minutes t������ achieve. Another dashing example of British pluck occurred on May Day in the vicinity ojj the North Hinder Lightship, the Cardiff steam trawler Miura emerging triumphantly^from^the-fray-withi- a German torpedo boat. Bw* was the immediate danger of destruction by being torpedoed by; the German; but the Miura's helm was promptly altered, and she dashed bow first into the German, carrying away her bridge and knocking several of the Germans overboard, the Hun making off at his best speed like a whipped cur to a port of safety.

This morning's News-Advertiser says: Hundreds of men who hve been complaining that the Cambie street bridge 'would never be repaired,' will be surprised to learn that work on repairs have been continuing for over a fortnight. When the contractors , commenced ' work they discovered that their pile-driver would not fit in under tne bridge so they proceeded to build a new pile driver. The driving of piles has proceeded steadily and much of the false work necessary for the construction, of Ihe new section has been placed. Indications are that the bridge, which was burned last spring, will- be ready for traffic again by the beginning of next month. ��������� ��������� ��������� CHANGES AT THE Y.M.C.A. Mr. F. J.

Mr. McKellar will be succeeded in the local institution by Mr. Geo. Ross, who will also act, as physical director. Mr. McJCei- lar is veil known throughout the city and particularly in - Mount Pleasant, where he has made ibis home. He was for some time.actively identified with the choir of Mt. ��������� Pleasant Presbyterian church, and was one of the foremost vocalists of the city. His successor, Mr. Geo. Ross, is also well known in Mt. Pleasant, and has for some time been one of the active -leaders- in the Crescent Class of Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian church. On Wednesday evening Robson Memorial Church. Cedar Cottage, was filled by South Vancouver residents who had assembled to protest against the granting of a. brewery license by the South Vancouver License Commissioner-! and against the amendment of the trades license by-law by the Municipal council to enable the license to be granted. A resolution, to be forwarded to the council and to the license commissioners, strongly protesting against the proposal to establish a brewery in South Vancouver was unanimously carried, and it was resolved to send a further telegram to the inland revenue officials at Ottawa endorsing the telegram of protest sent last week and stating that several of the councillors had since publicly acknowledged that when amending the trades license by-law they did not know its purport. Rev. Richmond Craig, in moving the resolution of protest, said that South Vancouver citizens had been insulted by the reeve, by the license commissioners and by every member of the council. "We have had a vaudeville sh'ovir at the Municipal Hall for nearly nine months," he said, "one man opposing all the rest. Then a man from Seattle comes to see the reeve about a brewery license. The question is raised. How will Coun. Stanley, the council's representative on the license board, regard the proposal? The reeve finds out that Coun. Stanley is favorable, and he then sits back and says, I am neutral." * * "Reevev Gold has been spending his -time writing letters to the press declaring his .neutrality, and councillors have been busy ringing me up on the telephone explaining their position. If, they are sincere we should give them an opportunity of proving their sincerity by,re- pealing the amendment to the trades license by-law." Ex-Councillor Milles, seconded the motion. Dr. Ernest Hall, yho preside ed. sard that the meeting had been called because of an attempt to foist a brewery upon tbe citizens of - South Vancouver without their knowledge or eon- sent, and he believed, very much against their wishes. Rev. Pr. Thomas, of Wesley church, followed with an address on prohibition.

AN HISTORIC STRAIT The Bosphorus, no less than the Dardanelles, ,is rich in classic myth and ancient deeds of valor. The name that the Greeks gave to the strait means a passage or crossing for cattle^Oxford is the exact English equivalent f������r Bosphorus. Did they so name it because agricultural knowledge there crossed from Asia into^Eur- ope, or because the Phrygians crossed there when- the oracle' told them to follow a route that one of their oxen would take if driven to the water? Or was it because the Phrygians first crossed in a vessel that had an ox for a figurehead, when Zeus had transformed her into a white heifer, swam the strait to escape the tormenting gadfly? You may take your choice, for ancient writers give all these explanations. They also tell us that other straits bore the same name, notably the passage that connects the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea. The Strait that now has the exclusive use of the name, Bosphorus was known earlier as the Thracian Bosphorus. A modern writer has well called it "the bleeding vein of Europe." There the crimson tides of conquest have ebbed and flowed for unnumbered centuries. More than five hundred years before the birth of Christ, the great Darius led his Persian hosts across the Bosphorus on .a bridge of boats for the invasion of Scythia', as a generation lator, his son Xerxes, led his armies across ,the Hellespont., There, like a succession--of wonderful pageants, the hosts of the crusaders crossed from Europe into Asia, aflame with zeal to rescue the -Holy Sepulchre fro.m the infidels. There, for centuries, passed the priceless cargoes that in the Middle Ages gave power to Venice and Genoa. *��������� In May, 462 years ago, over the welter and sack of the fallen city, Mohammed H. spurred his horse through the doors of St, Sophia. Since then the waters of the Bosphorus have reflected a crescent above the dome of the There's a sound in the far distance That calls to tbe patriot ear With loud and tense insistence That Britons-all must hear.
