Under the Exis w Freedom Impossible. THE NEW ZEALAND This-battle -cruiser, which is the lapt word in naval construction, is the gift of New Zealand to the British Navy. The crew are all Britishers, with the exception of four men who are New Zealanders, having joined the navy before their plucky little island home made this magnificent contribution. The New Zealand is an armoured battle cruiser of most modern type, developing 45,000 horsepower and capable of a speed of thirty-one miles per hour. She carries a crew of 800 men and cost over ������2,000,000. Her armament consists of four turrets, with two twelve-inch guns in each, or. eight guns each capable of firing a projectile weighing over 800 pounds three times in a minute, or a broadside of 6,400 pounds every twenty seconds; in other words, these guns alone can discharge 24 tons of steel a distance of several miles each minute. In addition to these heavy guns she carries a large number of smaller guns and the latest thing., in torpedoes, which will destroy at a distance of three miles. To work this great ship there is a crew of 800 men, and. during action all these men are protected by heavy armour. The ship is steered from below and all guns are sited from ,there. Each of the gun turrets is served by 50 men, and all the guns moved by hydraulic power. She has 31 large boilers to keep up steam for the huge 45,000 horsepower turbine engines. She may be used both for cruiser purposes, such as scouting and decoying the enemy, and upon re- joining the main fleet she takes her place in line of battle, being almost equal to the heaviest dreadnaiight. In short, as already stated, she is , the very last word in modern battleships. To New Zealand belongs the' great honor of contributing this mighty fighting machine, and what an object lesson t<r those who have placed themselves in the way of Canada doing her duty iu this regard. "���������"���������" ���������"��������� - "-.; GREATER VANCOUVER SEWERAGE. The Sewerage Commission has been named over two weeks but as yet the chairman has not seen fit to call a meeting. At least not up to the time of writing. The citizens expect"this commission to get busy and justify its cxistance. It is up }o the chairman to act, and we trust the first step taken'will be to ratify the course pursued by R. S. Lea, the expert engineer, and put the quietus upon that upstart Thomson from Seattle, who has attempted to poison the public mind againsjt Mr. Lea. A more outrageous insult to the intelligence of. the electorate eould scarcely be conceived than was the report of the Provincial Government of this American Engineer. If we as citizens, or if the commission, allow this fellow Thomson to have his way in this matter, we deserve to suffer all the inevitable consequences which must result from accepting his advice. Mr. R. S. Lea, who was engaged to formulate a scheme, is the most eminent drainage engineer in Canada and a recognized authority, while Thomson of Seattle, who was employed by the Province to check his report, is not an eminent engineer at all and in no wise fitted to criticise a report made by R. S. Lea. In fact, he has not dared to attack the principles laid down by Lea, but only to insinuate that Lea was not capable. He is a meddler and should be put in his proper place. There are a dozen engineers in Vancouver who are far more capable than Thomson and who could be retained to check the plans. WADE THE PHILANTHROPIST. Well, Fred, you have failed to answer our questions. Were they too pointed? Did they touch a sore spot in your memory ? Now, Fred, what do you really think of an employee of the Government who would accept a $10,000 fee from applicants for a Government lease, which lease must pass through the hands of such employee? Would you call it "philanthropy?" The Sun, the official Liberal organ, advocates the policy of turning over our fisheries without reserve to the tightest food combine on this continent, the canning interests. They support Bell- Irving and his Japanese fishermen���������they condemn all white fishermen���������and openly oppose all efforts to encourage white men and a free chance to fish A DISGUSTING PRACTICE. A large number of Japanese fishermen who are plying their trade out of our city, make a practice of catching codfish up the coast and keeping them alive in tanks of water. These poor fish literally rot away alive. One may go to the waterfront on almost any day and on board these Jap fishing boats find this state of affairs. Not only is it a menace to public health but is a barbarous practice and should be stopped. About three years ago the medical health officer, under instructions from the committee, seized and destroyed a lot of these fish. The time is ripe for another raid. B. C. FISHERIES ' In a speech at Ganges Harbor recently Mr. Stevens referred to the Fisheries question and through the Liberal organ the cannery-interests made a vicious attack on the member, seeking to make party capital thereby. The Fisheries question is not a party question. It is a problem which deals with one of the most vital assets of the Dominion, therefore the public interests are affected. Now it is clear that the cannery men are.spoiling for a fight and expect by allying themselves with the Liberal party here that they will be successful in defeating any public man who dares to favor public rights when it conflicts with their selfish interest. In all probability these gentlemen will have all the fight they want before this matter is dropped. In his evidence before the Labor Commission, H. Bell-Irving said that the ... reason they, the cannery-men, hired Japanese was because they were better workmen than the whites. From his narrow, self-interested standpoint this may be true, but lioiv near to the whole truth is this statement? Are the Japanese better fishermen than whites? If so, what class of whites is referred to I When Mr. Bell- * Irving made that statement he knew that he made a "mental reservation" in using " Ihe word "whites;" by whites he meant the transient trash who have no stake in 'the community, nor any net or boat. He knows perfectly well that his policy and that of his associates has been to secure control of boats and nets, thus enabling, them to better control the men. He knows, also, that Japanese fishermen do not compare favorably with white fishermen. He knows, too, that the Japs were introduced because of the strike of white men in 1904 and because they could be handled with greater ease. .J No one objects to the Canner making money, but we do object to him making fortunes atthe expense of good citizenship (in the fishermen)and of public inter- : estsx ''" ��������� ���������.' N ���������'.��������� ���������''���������*-������������������ It is, however, in Northern B. C. that one may witness the workings of the most blatant food trust which exists on this continent. The cannery interests, or at least some of them, induced both the Provincial and Dominion Governments a few years ago to inaugurate a system called "Boat Bating," whereby each cannery was'allotted a certain number of boats. This was done under the gyise of " protecting the fish," but in reality it was conceived with one object only ��������� to protect the Canner, and it worked to perfection until recently H. S.) Clements, M*P., and H. H- Stevens, M.P., have been audacious enough to attack its justice and utility. This "boat-rating" scheme made it necessary for each applicant for a fishing license to present, to the Government Inspector issuing the license, a contract with. some cannery for his whole season's catch. In other words, before one could get the right to fish one was compelled to agree to sell the fish caught at a given price to one-man, thus eliminating all chance of competition, all opportunity of a raise in the market and.virtually making the fisherman a serf of the Canner. That is not all, by this iniquitous regulation. The Government becomes a collecting agency for .* the Canner. "What right has any Government to demand that a fisherman shall contract for the season with a banner before he can receive a license? Positively none. This regulation is a reversion to barbarism and we defy any public man in B. C. to defend it before the electorate. It was conceived in the dark, without public notice, and we purpose airing it, some what,'to test its value. , . ��������� We have stated that this regulation was inaugurated a few years ago by the late Laurier- Government and the Provincial Government. It was passed ostensibly to protect the fisheries, and some will ask how are you going to protect the fish if you change this regulation ? Our answer is, by strict enforcement of the law and by having longer closed days, or times. ' For the past two years the two Members mentioned have consistently attacked this regulation and succeeded this year in having the Dominion Government throw open a'mimber of these licenses for white men only, with the avowed intention of next year, or as soon as possible, of having all thrown open to whites only. It will however, be difficult to make a success of it inasmuch as the Canners bitterly oppose _ the innovation, and, as they control the boats, they can easily refuse to buy from the whites and otherwise militate against them, but we are convinced that public opinion, once thoroughly aroused, will not permit of such high-handed tactics. We are also convinced that the more sane and just members of the canning fraternity will not allow the super-selfish, grasping individual to dictate to them altogether. Some of the Canners say they are not "making money;" our answer to that argument is, that B. C. Packers' common stock, which is all water, was worthless a few vears ago, but is now quoted on the Toronto Exchange at $130 bid, or 30 above par. Again we would also draw attention to the number of gentlemen who have made fortunes out of the business. We do not begrudge any man the best possible returns from his investments, but not at the public expense. Again we would say that anyone who >seeks to black-guard a public man for advocating a measure which is in the public interests, is unworthy of the name of a Canadian citizen. More will be heard on this question before we are through with it, and the public would do well to study it carefully. AN ANSWER FOR THE SUN. F. C. Wade, K.C., late public official of Yukon | fame, asks if the malicious lies published in the) Sun recently regarding Mr. Stevens are true.] The answer is that they are positively false in j every respect. Wade knew that they were lies when they were published���������he knows it still, and yet the he persists in reiterating them. We leave both Wade and the base falsehoods of the Sun to public scorn. , They are unworthy of any other attention than that of utmost contempt and loathing. A SUCCESSFUL RECEPTION. Mayor Baxter and his council merit the highest commendation for the able manner in which they conducted the entertainment of the visiting Nev Zealand. The officers and crew have left our city with loud praises for the city fathers and our community as a whole. To successfully entertain visitors necessarily means a great deal of hard work and personal sacrifice, and in this case, as in many others, nothing was spared by the mayor and council in their efforts to make it a success. CURRENT COMMENT (Prof. E. Odium, M.A., B.Sc,) THE BRITISH ISRAEL ASSOCIATION OF VANCOUVER, B. C. In a few weeks this association will begin to hold meetings in the Orange Hall, where all those who take an interest in the word of prophets and historians will have an opportunity to give their views and hear those who have made a long study of these and kindred topics. v* One of the first papers to be read will be on the foundation of the old British Language. The object will be to show that thia language,���������that of the men who opposed Juliua Caesar when he first visited the shores of England,���������was founded on the Hebrew and the Egyptian. The reasons tot this double foundation are easily adduced, and the cavses are natural and logically necessary. If any of the large numbers of British Israel students in Vancouver or vicinity care to' com- ' municate their views by letter they may do so by addressing such a letter to the Associate 'Editor of the Western Call. By this route they will come into my hands and be perhaps of considerable value in determining the best time for beginning the autumn series of meetings. ' A WORTHY PUBLIC 8PIRIT. It takes some men a long time to fully manifest > their true nature in its fullest sense. As years roll around certain men grow-and in the end reveal the best or worst that is in them. For many years we have been alive to the claims and qualifications, one .of the other, here in Vancouver.- I refer especially to those who have been in public service, and thus have had themselves before the public more or less. Among these men is Alderman, Captain MeSpadden, who has "made good" both in public and in this World's goods. Of late, because of .special success, the worthy -alderman has been able to do what has been in his heart for years.. Until now he was not in a position to do his best. But his turn has come, and at once the high public spirit is shown in his generous treatment of a matter of great utility. I refer to th/8 new. regiment he is getting under way. Not only is the Captain showing himself to be a patriot,.loyal to the "old flag," but he has already contributed the handsome sum of $5j000 towards the expenses of the undertaking, and is determined that his regiment will not be second to any in the province. This, then, is a splendid public spirit, shown after long years df patient waiting and preparation. His time and opportunity came, and he was ready to answer to-tbe demand of public claim. ��������� While the Captain is thus enabled to do what is in his. heart, others are without the material ability to do as they would. Perhaps they never will be able. But the spirit is there. SKIN BLOTCHES IN MEN AND NATIONS. When boils break out on man or beast, the blood.is impure and needs a cleansing course for 'the sake of improved health. It comes to pass that even in young", as well as in the aered. skin diseases show at times, owing to the blood being out of order. Preceding dca$h of men and nations, very commonly symptoms indicative of the coming disolu- tion manifest themselves. At times one can detect the decomposing state by a careful investigation, and prevent the mortification becoming deadly. Lately, while examining the condition of John Bull, the healthiest of all national animals, a strange boil was perceived near the root oi his tail. Using a barn-yard fork to probe, and make examination, with a view to a cure, there was a wonderful outpour of pus and microbes. These microbes were vigorous and active," but there were three more lively than the others. These three seemed to resent the pitchfork interference, for they preferred to remain in the skin of John Bull, even though located near the tail, so long as they were not molested, and had what to them was fat feeding. Looking at this mass of microbes infesting the outletted pus, it was seen that the three very active germs carried the facial features of Canadian politicians, such as bugglesly, sir rawss and sir bilf ord larry. They were wrathy because they were forcibly removed from the root of the tail of John Bull, so they kicked up quite a fuss, and raged around to prevent any improvement of the noble animal. However, the man with the pitchfork said to the trio, begone, get out, and leave. Your influence and work are and have been bad. John Bull needs help, and shall have it as quickly as possible. The bug, having lost his good fat sit, and being incensed thereat, determined to prevent the necessary cure being effected in the hide of John Bull. Sir bilford larry was as mad as a wet hen be- (Continu������*J Pag* 5) i . v>'. \ -'- *"5_ 'J". 2 THE WESTERN CALL. 1 I I I'M :'��������� m m pi :��������� n l-Si .ii *. i-. . t Winnipeg Grocery Pfce��������� IHtfc.156- HarriaACsfftrtl One of the most up-to- date stores in the district, carrying a full line of High-Class Groceries Special attention to phone orders.

CHEAPER FRUIT FOR ALBERTA FARMERS. SMOKER AT GRANDVIEW. Commercial Athletic Club Members Hoild Open House. The recently organized Commercial Athletic Club of Grandview held their first athletic gathering of the season in the club premises in Marfew Hall last Tuesday night and the affair was a huge success from start to finish. A lengthy and varied programme was staged and everybody went home happy. Here is the programme: Bud Soules and Billy Soules boxed three rounds to a draw while Ernie and Frank Barrieau went the same distance to a similar decision. Fred Smith and Al Hatch went two fast ten-minute bouts in a wrestling exhibition. Al Carter helped along the good work with hia own inimitable manner. L. Lambert and G. HcEwan gave a clever exhibition of tumbling. F. Ayres and Harry Wills furnished the comedy element, while the Kil Kour trio rendered several good songs. F. Bud and B. Courtell contributed soIob and Jocko Vinson wound up the programme by giving a ten-minute skipping rope exhibition and a recitation. J. T. McArthur, honorary president of the club, and Councillor Dickinson, president ofthe club, .made neat speeches during tbe evening. At St. Saviour's Church, Grandview, on Tuesday evening Miss Jessie Margaret Fowler, who recently came from Trinity, Newfoundland, was married to Captain Gilbert J. Brown. The bride was becomingly attired in a. e,uit of cream silk with hat to match, and carried a bouquet of white carnations. Miss Janette Butler of Newfoundland, who was prettily gowned in pale blue silk and carried a. bouquet of ferns, acted as bridesmaid, while Mr. Bussel Kearley, also of Newfoundland, gave the bride away. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. St. George Buttrum. After the ceremony a drive round the city was enjoyed and later a reception was held at the home of the bride and groom. The bride was the recipient of a number of valuable gifts, The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome gold watch, and ot the bridesmaid a gold brooch set with pearls. Included among the gifts were a number from friends in Newfoundland. Captain and Mrs. Brown will reside on Graveley street, Grand- view. : , Grand Forks, B. C���������Fruit growers throughout the Grand Forks district are expressing general satisfaction with the decision of the United Farmers' Association to handle the distribution of British Columbia fruits among the different Alberta unions, thereby eliminating the middleman to a large extent. In the opinion of P. P. Woodridge, secretary of the as* sociation, the new method of distribution will mean fruit for Alberta farmers at greatly reduced prices; and the system once organized should remain in force as long a sit proves profitable. With the readiest access of almost any western shipping centre to the leading inland markets, where the almost' exclusive grain- growing policy has thus far prevented almost entirely the development of the fruit-growing industry. Mr. Ernest Dodd left for Seattle last Saturday night. He will be gone for a short time on an auto trip through California with his brother, who lives in Victoria. Last Sunday the services in the Grandview Methodist Church were conducted by Rev, Stapleford. Iii the morning the communion service was conducted by Rev. G. A. Odium. The W. M. S. of Mount Pleasant Methodist Church held their regular meeting on the lawn of Mrs. A. E. Burnett's home, 2810 Ontario Btreet, Tuesday afternoon. Supper was spread on a long table, prettily decorated with flowers, and the husbands of the members partook of the ladies' hospitality. Over a hundred sat down to the table, at the head of which Dr. Sipprell presided. Noteworthy in the afternoon's events was the joining of fifteen new members with the society and about eight honorary members. Class number ten of the Sunday school served ice cream on the lawn.

The fire was discovered by a night watchman after it had gained considerable headway. The origin of the flre Is a mystery. WILL DEVELOP B. C. DAIRY INDUSTRY. Elko, B. C���������Since it has become known that western branch creameries i of eastern ,. manufacturers are many carloads behind in their orders owing to the immense demand in. the West, renewed interest is being taken in the recent announcement of A. F. MacLaren of Toronto, known as the Canadian cheese king, to the effect that his company is.about to estab lish a chain of creameries in British Columbia for the purpose of handling dairy products under the special process controlled by him. The organi zation of a provincial company has Just been effected with ap authorized capital of $400,000. It is practically certain that at least one of the ten factories to be established will be located in the Kootenays, another ln the Okanagan Valley, and several more at favorable points along' the main line of the Canadian Pacific. THI8 MAN MADE SURE OF CROP. Canadian western farmers are remarkably ingenious in assuring them selves a crop. At least they are re ported to be. An Ontariq farmer tells of an incident that occurred when he was paying a visit to a relative farmer in the Canadian west. He followed the trail for many miles and finally found bis relative digging in a field. The man dub about eight inches and rooted out a good hill of potatoes. He dug to another depth and revealed a second hill. At still another depth a third hill of potatoes was forthcoming. Mystified, the farmer from the east questioned tbe digger concerning the magnificent crop of potatoes, by hills, three deep. "Well," he said, "we plant them three deep; this way in order to be sure of one crop at least. You see, in a dry season the upper hill is killed by drought, and in a very dry season the second hill is also lost, but it never gets so dry that the bottom hill is destroyed. On the other hand, when the season is wet the bottom hill rots, in a very wet season the middle hill goes as well, but it never gets so wet that the top hill is destroyed. In the third place, in a favorable season like this has been the result is three crops, as you see." Canada's Future It takes years to grow trees���������not hours or days. To keep us in timber, pulp, an equable water supply, fish and game, we must haye trees. Stop the fires. Stop the waste in logging, milling and utilization. Stop the insect and fungus depre dations. Cut tiinber only when it is "ripe"��������� when it will produce as much value as possible in usefulness to men. Plant up the waste places. Plant the needed shelter belts. These take time, they take men, they take money, but they are worth It- France has spent $35,000,000 in planting trees on watersheds. Germany spends up to -$13 per acre per annum on some forests, and gets gross returns up to $24 per acre, thus yielding net profits up to $11 per acre every year. As a whole, German forests produce about $2.00 net per acre annually. Canada spends much less than one cent per acre per annum on the forest lands under management. If we set the fire loss against tjie timber product, Canada's forest balance sheet shows an enormous deficit. How can Canadians stop the losses, arrest the waste? There is but one answer. Public opinion, public interest, public conscience are the only forces tbat will ever make for progress. fHE - Where it pays to deal. Watch o������r Windows It will pay you Every Week & Special.

Thej flre started either in a poolroom or the Grand Union Hotel. The flames swept through Strathcona street and Litchfield avenue. The two hotels were destroyed and over thirty business houses. Bucket brigades finally checked the flames, but hot before a total damage exceeding half a million dollars waa done* Constable Blair eceiyed serious burns waking the guests of the Grand Union Hotel. The City Council met and formed a relief committee. One Hundred people were absolutely destitute and twice as many had no place to'buy a meal or get a place to rest, -the government placed the im migration hall at the disposal of the council, and those merchants having any goods left offered what tbey bad to relieve the stricken. The heaviest individual loser was Mike Gagnon, who lost a number of buildings worth $200,000, and all uninsured. 7he Athabasca Forwarding Company's warehouse filled with goods consigned to the Peace River was burned to the ground. The goods were worth $50,000. The waterworks were not. completed and only a hand-pump engine was available to fight the flames except the bucket brigades. The following are the losses: The Athabasca Forwarding Company, Athabasca Hotel, Ney's confectionery, Gibbing'8 restaurant, Hackett's cigar store, Stacker's dry goods.

C. Lowther, secretary to the Governor-General, has issued a bulletin to the effect that Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught will prolong their stay in England until October 17 in order that they may be able to be present at the wedding of H. R. H. Prince Arthur of Connaught, which has been fixed for Oct. 15. The "Journal" says: "Historic Quebec, the ancient capital of Canada, may once again become at least the temporary seat of government ln the Dominion. 'Tt is probable that in the event of the alterations which are being made at Rideau Hall not being completed before His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught returns to^Canada, he, will take up his residence at Spencer- wood, the home ol the Lieutenant- Governor bf Quebec, or possibly at the far-famed Citadel, and the, administration of the country would then be carried n onot a stone's throw trom where it was ruled more than 200 years ago by the intrepid and gallant Frontenac." CALLING A MAN A LIAR Places In the United Statea Wfiere H Is a Crime : The other day a resident ln Louisville, Kentucky, expressed his opinion ;to another man that he was a dirty liar, and was promptly knocked down. He commenced an action tor assault, bat lost the case. The Judge declared from the Bench that to call another man a liar was to dettveT him a blow, ind. honorably dlachaifced the defendant ��������� ..;_���������' ���������' v It Is a Justifiable defenoe ln any of the American States to claim tbat the man you bave assaulted baa flrat culled you a liar. A Rill containing such a provision was introduced in the Texas Legislature tome years ago. and' hai not yet been repealed* The sens-} tor who introduced the Bill declared; that he based it on a law which make* the offensive use of the word * misdemeanor punishable by * 1*5 <*���������������. Calling a man a liar ta not only an offence against the law in Virginia; It Is a crime. Tbere is a law on the statute-books of that State which reads as follows: "If any person shall! in the presence or bearing of anotherr curse or abuse such person or use any violently abusive language to such Jerson concerning himself or any ^>t is female relatives in circumstances .reasonably calculated to provoke a 'breach of tbe peace, he shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on con* -rjotton shall be fined not less than UJK, nor more than f80." , To call a man a liar ln Georgia Is (kinder, for which one may be punished by a fine of f 1,000, or imprisonmnent for a year, or both. The defend gat has tbe right, however, to prov* hie charge and go clear. On tbe crlmi nal tide of the courts the law holds ���������s it does in Kentucky, tbat the lie constitutes the first blow and Justifier violent response. In Arkansas the use of the epithet ia a misdemeanor punishable by ��������� Une. In Mississippi it ls not specifically mentioned in the laws, but all in suiting words are made civilly action able. In South Carolina it is not I crime, but m?>y be used as a basis o civil action for defamation of charaa to*. In North Carolina the user of the epithet and the man to whom it is applied are held equally guilty ia cases of assault and battery. But every State is careful to warn the public that "all words which, from their usual construction and common acceptation, are construed as insults and tend to violence and breach of th* peace shall he actionable."

CURRENT COMMENT (Continued from page 1) cause his pact with the dirty bald-headed eagle was not successful. "Larry looked fierce,, and has got the jaundice of defeat and sad failure. He sees his doom, the doom of a badly directed John Bull microbe. He knows, but hates to admit it, that he is but the microbe of a microbe's microbe. And then the third, sir wraas, sworn to be true to John Bull, and to defend the noble animal against all dangers, enemies and other microbes, is disgusted because he has been forced by bugglesley and sir larry to be false to a sacred trust, and give his aid to the master microbe, which mud- woggles around -in the Tiberine marshes. However, since the pitchfork has done its work, these three microbes are growing more harmless every day and soon will be quiescent, especially larry, the disgruntled slave of a slave's slave. In the meantime! John Bull has his tail working in better shape, and soon will have three other helpers, big burly defenders; and these are coming in spite of the three little microbes lately removed from the root of the tail. May their end be restful and their now sorrowful shades be a bit more happy. THfc NEW ZEALAND AND VANCOU VERMES The advent of New Zealand's gift to the Umpire made the people of Vancouver truly proud and grateful. Of course there are some exceptions. Among these are the people who want peace at any price, and would not build a single British ship even though the other nations were doubling their fleets at a most rapid rate. Such people have little influence in the councils of the Empire, and never ean so long as nations delight in war and until the big wars of the future, as foretold in Scripture, shall have taken place. Then there are many foreigners in Vancouver who do not like to see the British Empire so far ahead of their own countries in all that stands for peace or war. And the Battle-Cruiser, New Zealand, stands for both peace and war, either in an emergency. ) .: < Then there are certain extreme followers of Sir "Wilfrid Laurier who aire enraged to see the Empire growing strong in spite of the continued attempts to keep it from thus growing in physical force; a true measurement of its high ideals and visions,���������yes, and a measurement of its lofty spirit. But apart from these and a few others not worthy a mention here, the bulk of Vancouverites were proud, and hailed the New Zealand with joyful spirits. In this statement I include the vast body of those citizens whom we call Liberals. They, the best of them, were tiie men who here, and elsewhere in Canada, came to the aid of Canada and the Empire nearly two years ago, "when they forsook the leader whom they had followed for many years. They are sorry for him and ashamed of his late course as well.' He has wrecked his party, for a time, and wrecked himself forever. He never -can win back what he has lost. He has lost his best men in tens of thousands, as the last election has shown, and ad the next will emphasise, unless he and his. co-workers make a-sharp turn. They need not try working for the enemies of the Empire and. expect political success in Canada, which is perhaps more loyal in its units than even Old England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland in their units. When our citizens were manifesting their enthusiasm and high appreciation of the action of the Dominion of l^Tew Zealand, it was evideht to the close observer that a deep sense of shame and sorrow pervaded the best of the men of the Liberal party, for |hey know and; hesitate not to say that Sir Wilfrid. Laurier has disgraced Canada in the eyes of loyal Britons throughout the world,' and worse yet, in the eyes of our most inveterate enemies. . These very Liberals have aided in chastising the men at Ottawa"who ventured to hand the destinies of Canada over to the States; and they are ready to make these same leaders of the party feel the lashings of a fierce disapproval at the next elections if their conversion be hot manifest beforehand. However it is likely that the loyal and statesmanlike Liberals will be in contral of the party before the next election when their national and Empire plans will be more commensurate with the world needs, claims and aims of Britannia Major. In the meantime they will have to throw Sir Wilfrid, Sir Geo, Ross and the present leaders aside on account of the political act of treachery performed of late. The old unrepresenting Senate of Canada simply acted as so many feeble tools ofthe Laurier manipulators. In the meantime we welcome as part of the British defending force the splendid ship the "New Zealand." And we shall, ere many moons, place beside that ship three of a similar or superior sort. Then Canada will make its voice to be heard as it long has wanted so to do. It is remarkable that the Borden policy has been condemned by Germany, Austria, and all the enemies of England, while these very nations and peoples are loud in their praises of the Laurier do-nothing policy. The course to pursue nine times out often is the course condemned by A woman's work is never done unless 'tis done the Hot Point way.

"Ah, yes���������Lieutenant Fortesque of the Forty-second British Foot" We bowed coldly, neither extending a band, the captain twisting his mustache as he continued staring at me. "Fortesque," he repeated slowly. "Fortesque; not of this garrison, I believe." "No, from New York," coolly. 1 regret having interfered with your program." "Dont mention lt; there are other ladies present, and, no doubt your gallant act was -worthy the reward; a pleasant evening, sir," and he withdrew aside, stiffly military. Eager to lose as little as possible of the measure, I swung my partner forward, catching glimpse again of the man's face as we circled. "Pleasant disposition," I ventured, without meaning to be uncivil. "Oh, very," and her eyes met mine frankly. "But you must not quarrel with him; that ls his one specialty, you know." ment. "Come with' me, beyond the light yonder." I followed her guidance, bewildered, yet having every confidence the reason for this mysterious occurrence must be fully Justified. The passage curved slightly, terminating at a closed door: Scarce a reflection of the candle reached us here, yet my eyes were by now sufficiently accustomed to the gloom so that I could trace the outlines of her face. A vague doubt, took possession of me. "You are causing me to run away from Grant," I protested blindly. "You are making me appear afraid to meet him." "No, it is not t_at" swiftly. "He was not coming to you personally at sill���������you were to be arrested?" "What! He knew me then?" "I am not sure���������some one did, and mentioned his suspicions. Captain Grant was glad enough of an excuse, no doubt, but he," the soft voice fal- jterlng, "he made a mistake ln twitting ime for being friendly toward you." "And you came to warn, to save mel" I exclaimed, pressing her hand. "That was nothing; I could dp no jless.

Suddenly she looked up laughing, as though to make others feel that we conversed lightly. We passed Grant, even as I held my breath, almost afraid to venture with words. ' Yet they would not be restrained. Tou certainly startled me; how do you know this? Surely we have never met before?"

My cheeks burned 'with indignation at his cool Insolence. What could it mean? Was he merely seeking a quarrel? or was there something else concealed behind thts request? In either case I knew not how to act, and yet felt no inclination to avoid the meeting.

Sweet as the face was, greatly as it had attracted me, there was nothing to awaken a throb of memory. Surely I could never have seen ber before, and forgotten; that would have been impossible. The music ceased, leaving us at the farther extremity of tbe hall. "And now you will go?" she questioned eagerly. "You mean, leave here?" "Yes; you said once tonight that but for me you would be riding yon* der. I realized all you meant, and you must not remain. The guard lines are slack tonight, and you can get through, but if you wait until tomorrow lt may be too late. Believe me, I am your friend, a' friend of your cause." .

"Well catch the lad all right, Grant. Some ot those outposts will nab him before daylight. No use our waiting around here; let's go back upstairs."

I had better chance the possibility that aome visitor had left a horse tied in {front, or to one of the stands. With 'this possibility ln mind I turned, and skirted the house, making myself as inconspicuous as possible. There were soldiers on the outside steps; I beard tbelr voices without seeing them, and WW thus driven to run, swiftly across an open space, memory guiding me toward the opposite pavilion. Breathless, with heart beating fast, I crouched low in the shadow, endeavoring to make out my more immediate surroundings. There were no horses there, but 1 could clearly distinguish the, stomping of reBUess hoofs some- 'Where to the right. As I straightened up, determined upon discovering an empty saddle if possible, the figure of a man suddenly loomed directly in front, advancing toward me.' In istartled surprise I took one step backward, but was too late. Already tbe eyes of the newcomer had perceived liny presence, and be sprang forward, 'tugging at bis sword. : "Hold on there! hold on!" he commanded shortly. "Who are you? What the devil are you skulking about out ;here for?" i It was Grant beyond a doubt; I [would recognize the peculiar snarl of ���������that voice in a thousand. He had not gone upstairs then; bad not rejoined ithe lady in the dining-room. What jwould she think ot his absence? What -would she do when she realized lite probable meaning? Someway I was inot frightened, at thus meeting him, jbtft glad���������if those others would only fkeep away, and let us settle the affair [between us. Here was his test���������a [coward wot-d cry out an alarm, sum- ���������mon the guard to his assistance, but, 'if the fellow's u������.rve only held, or lf he 'bated me badly one ga, he'd fight it tout alone. All this came to me in a flash, and the words of challenge jspoken before be ~ven grasped the ���������thought of wbo I was. "So I have discovered you, have I? Why did you fail to keep our appointment within?" j He drew up sharply with an oath, peering at me through the dark, bewildered by my speech. j "The spy! Ye gods, what luck! Do iyou mean to insinuate I'ran away, isirr j "How else could I interpret it?" I iquestioned coolly, determined to taunt [him to action. "I waited where you jtold me till I was tired. Perhaps you jwill oblige me by explaining your pur- poae." j He muttered something, but without ���������comprehending its purport I went on threateningly: "And I think you made use of the word spy Just now. Did you mistake jxne for another?" . "Mistake you? No; I'd know you in [hell," be burst forth, anger making his voice tremble. "I called you a spy, and jyou are one, you sneaking night rat. ���������You never waited for me in the par- (lor; if you had you'd now be under ar. Irest." "Oh, so that was the plan?" . "Yes, that was it. Mister Lieutenant 'Fortesque." "Well. Grant,". I said sternly, "I've (got Just one answer to make you. You rcan call your guard, or you can light it out with me here. Whichever you .choose will depend upon whether you are a man, or a cur." I took a step nearer, Watching him as best I could In. the dark. "You are an unmitigated liar, sir," and with sudden sweep of the arm I struck him with open hand. ''Probably you will realise what that means." For an instant he remained so still I doubted him, even held him cheap; then the breath aurged through hia clinched' teeth in a mad oath. He surged toward me, but my sword waa out, the steel blocking his advance. "You���������you actually mean fight?" <*Why not? Isn't that cause enough? ���������If not t will furnish more." . "I do not fight spies���������" "Stop! That silly charge Is merely an excuse. You do not believe it your- 'self. You wanted a quarrel yonder ln the ball-room. The expression of your eyes, was an insult. Don't evade now. I am here, wearing the uniform ot the 'British army. I bave every right of a gentleman, and you will cross swords, or 111 brand you coward wherever there Is an English garrison." I saw the sudden flash of his drawn blade,- and flung up my own ln guard. "Wait; not here. Captain," I insisted quickly. "We're far too near your watchful friends yonder; besides the light Is poor. Let's try our fortunes beyond tbe pavilion, where it can be simply man to taan." He turned without a word, and I followed, eager enough to have done with the business. -Tbe stars gleamed on the naked weapons held . in oqr hands, but we exchanged'no wori.G until we had rounded the corner and come forth into the open space beyond. CHAPTER VI. The One Hope. As he stopped and faced about, I at 'instantly halted. "Perhaps this spot mar satisfy four ���������requirements," be said aafoaittcallr. "Tls far enough away at least, and the light is not so bad." "It will do," I replied, and threw my scarlet Jacket on the grass. "Strip to the white, sir, and then, we can see fairly well where to strike. That's better. On guard!" He came at me fiercely enough, confident of his mastery of tbe weapon, and, no doubt, expecting me to prove an easy victim of his skill. His first onslaught, a trick threat under my guard, caused me to give back a step or two, anil thia smalt success yielded *ilm the over-confidence I always pre* ;<er that an opponent have.' 1 was young, agile, cool-headed^ Instructed mk ? early boyhood by my father, a rather famous swordsman, In the mysteries of the game, yet I preferred tbat Grant should deem me a novice. With this lh mind, and ln order that I might better study the man's style, I remained strictly pn defense, giving way slightly before the confident pley of his steel, content with barely turning aside the gleaming point before it pricked me. At first he mistook this for weakness, sneering at my parries, as he bore in with Increasing reckless* "A club would be more in your line, I take it, Mr. Lieutenant Fortesque," be commented sarcastically, "but I'll play with you a while for. practice��������� ahl that was a lucky turn of the wrist! 86 you do know a trick or two?

Two hundred men will be employed and it will cost $500,000. The line will be done in 1916. It is a private enterprise. Iceland lies 155 miles from Greenland and over 500 miles from Norway.

There were hundreds of rcoa ot old fence to bj> torn down at er.es and fence rows elmned, so r'day would deno good ar.d itwrs impevs. ble to got. help. . The long tendrils were woven about tho post?, old 'piec; s of boards, bltB of rail, and the shrubbery that had grown up along tiie fence, so that practically every bit oi the grouud was infectfid with the poison. In the first place he pt.t on long gloves of heavy material, and thou drew stout old stocking legs over his sleeves above the gloves to protect the wrists and arms. In this way he escaped the scratches that so quickly are infected, and he could work with more freedom because he wos not on the lookout constantly to avoid touching the vines. With an old pitchfork he quickly forked them out of the way to dry, and later they were placed on tbe bonfire .with the same tool. - In cutting down the vines he used a long Iron or spud sharpened at the end, so that the roots could be easily cut underground. Of course, where they were tangled around the boards and posts and wires, large hedge trimmers had to be used in clipping them, hut the spud cut off the roots very easily. Great care was taken not to handle the tools with the bare hands after they had been used In the poison. The farmer always stood \ so the wind would not blow in his face, and thus bring the. infection, and be avoided wiping his warm face ,.w ith a handkerchief touched by. th������ poison.
