WOULD the City be liable to an action for damages on the part, of several propei'ty owners should they decide to locate the site of the Great Northern Railway Company's depot 100 feet farther south? was asked by Aid. Maln- tosh at a meetinw of the council on Thursday last. Aid. Mcintosh was of the opinion that the city and the company had agreed on the site, and this had afterward been sanctioned by the people, neither the city nor the railway commission had the power to alter the location of the site. XThis is also the stand taken by property owners adjacent to the original site. -/.>City Solicitor Jones wiU likely reply to the question during the coming week. IN TAKING OVEJJ the Western Call the new owners feel that some expression of appreciation to Mr. Stevens, the retiring owner and editor, is due to him and his former readers. , r. . , , N , Xi t Vi'.", - ������������������ . Mr. Stevens is, of course, too well known to make necessary any detailed reference to his career, but sometimes it is opportune to say of a man some of the nice things that are usually reserved for his demise. We make, no secret of the fact that the policy of the Call " will be to give, Mr. Stevens an unstinted political support and" that comes freely from the hands of the new owners of the paper. There are, of course, things in the Conservative policy which Ave do not approve, but there are also things in the Liberal policy which we' . _do not approve. Soifar as choice between parties is^ concerned?, the Call regards, them as__. all pretty much alike and differing only in the class of men who lead or represent them. So our position is resolved down to men and measures and among politicians we consider Mr. Stevens very much above the average. lt was the writer's privilege in 1913, as editorial correspondent of the Sun in the press gallery at Ottawa, to come much in contact with Mr. Stevens and to learn much about his standing among the members of the Commons. No member stands higher.in the estimation of his fellow members than he does, and tha,t is a crucial test. -If a member of parliament enjoys the respect and esteem of his fellow members on'both sides of the house, it is proof positive that he has made good. There is no lack of this kind of proof that Mr. Stevens has made good. ������ Other .members were envious of his record for "getting things" for his city. One member said if the parliament buildings hadn't been nailed down, he would have had them in Vancouver. Howev.er, his record in that matter will be subject for discussion some other time, and when his record as member for Vancouver is subject to that test, it will be found to stand up well. \ In the various negotiations preliminary to the purchase of the Western Call, the present owners found Mr. Stevens candid, straightforward and as good, or better than his. word in every respect. It can easily be seen that these qualities in the man have made him successful, both in business'and politics. He is frank and outspoken in his public utterances as he is in private business. In other words, you always know where he stands, whieh is a refreshing experience. He does not say one thing and mean, another, nor make promises with mental reservations. s Mr. Stevens has demonstrated that ke-is a big mail with, progressive ideas and a wide vision, and he is making this more evident day by day. x ;���������.--" AncLso while the Call is thus saying farewell to-him as'owher and editor, it will meet him coming round the corner as one of his warm supporters, giving him, perhaps a more effective support than it _ could give him as its owner and editor. X *< Friday, December 81, 1915. mmmmtUmimmmmmmimmmmmmmmm ROMANTIC BAGDAD J Who that has ever read that wonderful collection of Eastern tales, "The Arabian Nights Entertainments," with all its enchanting descriptions of Eastern life,, can ever forget Bagdad, the centre of most of the stories, and the home of the famous and best- beloved of the Caliphs���������Haroun- Al-Raschid. To this day the Chaldeans, Arabs, Kurds, Persians, and other races of Mesopotamia, the "land between the two rivers," speak of the good Caliph, and also of the terrible storming of Bagdad in 1259 by the Mon- '.. gols, who took the city after six days' fighting, and put the 800, 000 inhabitants to the sword, piling them up into mountains of dead. To-day, after almost four hundred years of peace, since Sultan Murad IV. recaptured it from the Persians, the ancient city is again the objective of war, a British force steadily advancing by water, up ������rom the Persian Gulf, to the capture of it. Its Situation From a distance Bagdad still appears to be the wonderful eity of Eastern history and romance. It is a city of the plains, and reaches far out on each side Jot the Tigris, fringed with a fairyland of green, in which innumerable groves of date-palms, olives and fig-trees form thick fringes. The town is divided into two parts 'by the, broad, Tigris, . the eastern' part, founded, by' Caliph Aba Jasfer al Mansur in 763 on the site of a- former;eity* being the real < aneieot -T Pajgdad. F^om it the Caliphate removed toward the end of the Eleventh century to the-west side of the- river, and, the better class of the population following. Old , Bagdad became a sort of suburb, still inhabited chiefly by the poor.'To-day, as nigfya thousand years ago, the ttvo pafcrts are connected by the famous bridge of boats, and through means of "gouffahsV or large round wicker baskets (coracles), coated with bitumen, propelled by native boatmen with infinite dexterity. '<- - The whole area of the town, on both banks, is surrounded by a high and thick wall of brick and mud, flanked at distances with towers, many of them dating back to the times of the Caliphs. The entire wall is about five miles in circumference, but a large portion of it encloses gardens and plantations/of date and fig trees. Under the wall there is a ditch of considerable depth, which may be filled from the Tigris. A Disappointing Interior Inside, this most famous and ancient city of the east is very disappointing. There are few towns even in Asia which have such narrow and winding streets, farrow, dark, and frequently like tunnels, the streets of Bagdad were built to1 keep out the terrible heat, which for weeks at a time is 125 degrees in the shade. They are often walled over at the top with arches of brick, or mud, straw and poles; and in the numerous bazaars the booths of the merchants are arranged along the sides of these tunnels. Un- paved and full of holes and heaps of rubbish, dead carcases, and all kinds of rubbish, the streets are genuinely Oriental, and would en danger the public health were not the worst removed by the innumerable unowned and half-savage dogs. - the bazaars, where each shop- keeper is seen squatted on a rug lief ore his pile of goods, and tha great Arab market-place, are just as busy and picturesque as they were 600 years. jLgg*.:vrhen $jie fa mous mediaeval traveller?

The Jews are usually distinguished by having their red caps fitting close to the head with only a yellow kerchief tied around them. Kurds are easily picked out by means of their turban of silk with stripes of blue, red and white, and its fringe of. knotted strings. Arabs, with their wide sleeveless cloaks, black or white, with a wide stripe of blue, brown or red, and their singular headdress of a coarse silk" and cotton shawl striped red and yellow, folded triangularly upon the head, and tied around with thick brown worsted; Turks, in their loose flowing robes of muslin or silk, with wide cloaks of broadcloth, and red cap tvith its blue tassel - wound around .

The Christmas services at St; An-f ! drew's church, both morning and evening, were of an exceptionally fine character. After a discourse entitled "The 1'Christmas Message," delivered, by Rev. E. D. McLaren, the ehoir, under Mr. Frank Wrigley's leadership, sang the anthems, "Glory to Qod in the Highest," "O, Come Redeemer of Mankind," and "The' Heavens Are Telling." The carols "Good King Wenceslas" and "The First Nowell" were also sung. In the evening an i organ recital by Mr. Wrigley * began at 6.45 o'clock. The pastor, Rev; Dr. Wilson, conducted the service, and in place of ;the service, the cantata, f'Qtar of 'Bethlehem,"1 was rendered in an im- pressive manuer by a mixed choir of ninety-six voices, assisted by" Mrt.

Some time ago Great Britain embarked upon the industry, and has refined' a certain quantity of the precious mineral! . tThjB' war haa yirtually cut off supplies of foreign.radium from Great Britain; ^rhieh is now dependent on her own resources. The Scottish venture ia due to the enterprise and energy of. a Glasgow metallurgical chemist, Mr. John 8. MaeA-thur, who baa established his factory within easy reach of Loch Lomond. The founder of this latest industry, who has familiarized himself with the problem* of his -task, has been carrying out experiments with a small plant, and has trained a small staff of men for the work. The extraction and refining of radium from the erode ore is a prolonged and" delicate operation, the material having to pass through about" -fifty processes.. The proportion of radium per ton of .finest ore is about ten milligrammes,, so that the j-ield cannot be described as heavy; but as the world's' annual production of this rare radioactive agent is only about thirty grammes, it will be seen that there are great possibilities for the new industry. It is anticipated that the Scottish plant will' be able to turn out about six grammes per year. It is also intended to work upon the production of radium, fertilizer as 'Well -as the by-products, uranium and vanadium, since these articles are in demand, the last-named more especialy, as the market for vanadium steel, of which vandium forms a component, is increasing rapidly.

David W. Griffith's most extraordinary achievement shows, with vividness of detail, how slavery'<. was introduced into the Southern States, the causes which led to the war of secession, and tbe later signing of peace at the Appomattox onrt House. The film.portrays the death of Lin-, coin, the- consequent miseries attendant upon the reconstruction of the nation, and particularly the" restoration of the r South to its own. -' . Inside the small space of 12,000 feet of film, Mr. Griffiths has successfully produced a thrilling, plausible 'and dignified presentment of national upgrowth. The story is based on Thomas Dixon's romance, 'The Clansman.' Eighteen thousand people were employed in the taking of these historical pictures. The battle scenes were actual duplicates of several Civil War conflicts. The pictures show Lincoln among his counsellors making his famous appeal for volunteers, Generals Grant and Lee shaking hands at Appomattox, the assassination of President Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, along with the famous rides of the Ku-KluxKlan. Altogether it is a masterpiece. "BRINCHMG UP FATHER" When the historian of the future comes to write the story of the present period, he will, no doubt, regard the rogue of the moving-picture and the series-picture as one of the important social symptoms of the time. Almost every issue of every daily paper of a popular character has at least one instalment of the history of Mutt and Jeff or Happy Hooligan or the Hatzen- jammer Eids^ With a lot of mere slap-stick humor, there is a good deal of genuine fun and skill in some 'of these series. Among the very best of1 them is "Bringing Up Father," by George McManus. The;figure of the democratic little Irishman, with his plebein taste for beer and lots of it, and his >utter refusal to be educated socially, has achieved a wide popularity. As a result he has' been put on the stage and made the centre of a musical farce, where' he is just - as funny as in the cartoons "of Mr. McManus. "Bringing up Father" proves to,be a bit from, the very start. This is due, in large measure, to the perfection with 'which Joee B."

The work, that the Canadian Patriotic Fund can do for returned soldiers, however, is limited by Act of .Parliament, and it has been specifically enacted that no assistance can be given by the Fund to "any person who is in receipt of any gratuity, pension or'allowance paid by His Majesty or by any foreign government in consequence of incapacity or death occurring as aforesaid." Partly on this account and largely because the pensions and gratuities paid to incapacitated men are oft-times; admittedly inade- qute, it has been necessary to establish a Hospitals Commission and Disablement Fund. The officials of the latter, in their report to the Federal Government, recommended among other measures, that provincial commissions be formed for the purpose of supplementing these pensions either by monetary grants or by free training in various trades. The. Soldiers' Aid Commission of Ontario, as we have said above, is the first step in this direction. Already it has announced its intention of mobilizing the manufacturers of Ontario, and we do not doubt that the process will be facilitated by the manufacturers themselves. Others also will be asked to lend their aid in discharging a great national duty and there is every prospect that in Canada at least the traditional tragedy of the returned soldier will have no place. Henri Bourassa is scarcely the stuff out of which is made ei- ther, (the martyr or the hero. To hiinself he .may be the one, and to some of his Nationalist admirers he may be the other, but in the part he is playing in the national life of Canada he has neither the outlook of a statesman nor the unselfish devotion of a patriot. Bourassa played false with Liberalism, of which at one time he professed to be an adherent, and he rwas rejected. Then the Conservative leaders in Quebec and in Ontario took his pledges, but they played false with him. Bril- liafat though he is, and not devoid either of capacity or of personal merit, he stands today distrusted, by those among whom he might have been a leader, and disowned by those who used him for their own party ends. He cannot succeed in Canadian statesmanship, because, like the ill- fated Wolsey, all the ends he aims at are hot his country's, his God's, and truth's. He falls, but not a blessed martyr; rather is he a victim of his own vanity and 'petty ambitions. The trouble with Bourassa is that, as, a French-Canadian, he poses as defender of. the rights of the minorities ijpi the Provinces of Canadat but ���������as a Nationalist he ctenies the duty of Canada to join with Britain ins defence of the rights and liberties of the wronged'and slaughtered rainori ti$- *mongi ithe pations; ot., $nr ope./ He is right in holding thai ajl true" Nationalism Jn. Canada is involved in the defence of every just right and every true liberty of all the little peoples that make up the nation. But he is wrong, utterly and blindly wrong, in holding that true Can adian Nationalism, involved as it is in tbe larger Internationalism of all the free British nations, can preserve neutrality, either of mind or of armed force, so long as Belgium and Poland and Serbia, the little peoples of F<urope, are robbed of. all rights and liberties by the brute-despot of the world. Bourassa does not see that the world is forevermore too small for. any nation to stand alone Anything that calls itself Nation alisni, and at this crisis time re pudliates all the vital claims of the:Internationalism of the world, majr have a name to live, but is dtJid. It is not a principle, it is a ppse. The man Mho champions it can scarcely be worth sup- presp'ng.'V' Canadians of French descent, even though two year* ago they followed Bourassa, show themselves more worthy of their race in repudiating him, as his first lieutenant, Oliver Asso- iin, has already done. He is not the stuff out of which martyrs and heroes are made.���������Toronto Globe. - ' The Telephone will take you Quickly 1 The telephone is the short cut.

THE MAYORALTY THERE IS NO DEARTH of candidates for the Mayoralty this year, there being at this writing four in the field, Messrs. J. D. McNeill. Aid. McBeath, Martin and Hepburn, with Aid. Kirkpatrick and Kirk still to hear from. The process of se^ction with many electors will be by elimination. Of the last two in the field, Martin and Hepburnj there should be no question of their unsuitability for Mayor. Either of them would be a serious infliction upon the city. , There is nothing iii Mt. Martin's record or capabilities that stamp him as the man wanted for mayor next year. . The public' is : getting tired of Mr. Martin and his never-ending em broilmentB with everyone with whom he comes in contact. With Mr. Martin in the chair next year we would have many- spectacular quarrel- lings and little :done. Vancouver has a good^ ���������v deal of business to transact next year that wil1 require the cool sagacity ef a good- business - head, which is not to be found under Mr. Martin's hat.

' ; It is''generally agreed that a nation is able to mobilize about one-tenth of its population, and Belloc admits that when the effort is extended to a second year and when a supreme effort '���������is'"made, and a few elements not-quite desirable are introduced, you may just reach 12. per' ceiit. Twelve millions of men for Germany, however, means over 17 per cent., and it would include children, elderly men, invalids, lunatics, crip- pes, biind and paralytics. XThe French General Staff have calculated somewhat over 8,000,000, this calculation being based upon the knowledge of k what they can-themselves. do,'with a population at least as healthy.

ROOM FOR MORE UNITS THAT THERE was still plenty of available room at aHstings Park, sufficient* if necessary, to quarter two more units, was the statement made "at" a meeting of the Exhibition Committee on Thursday. The discussion arose over the announcement that the Bantam Battalion under command of Lieut.-Col. Powley, would be recruited at Vic-, toria. The chief reason advanced lor the station-. Capital City Council had offered to build a baring of the, Bantam Unit in Victoria was that the racks'for the battalion, .hut.in the. ease of. Vancouver it was different, there were plenty of available buildings which would be quite suitable, including about half of those at Hastings Park, while the nevy immigration building at the foot of Burrard street might.also be used. V The opinion has been expressed that the Bantam Battalion would have been quartered here if the City Council, Board ofTrade and other public bodies had energetically cooperated;, to bring it here. ��������� X ��������� M.anager Rolston, of the Exhibition Associa.- tion> was instructed to provide Mr. H. II. Stevens, M. P., with full details of the buildings at Hastings Park which might be used for military purposes. British local authorities have been notified by''the War-Office that owing to the demand' for benzol and toluol for the manufacture of explosives it lias been found necessary .to require gas undertakings throughout the kingdom to extract these constituents from their gas,; thereby in some cases affecting the illuminating power-, oi. the gas and its calorific power. It 'is urged by the war office that municipal councils should do everything in", their power to prevent attacks-on gas undertakings owing to possible deterioration of the gas supplied, and that this could best be done by ceasing to test gas altogether, or by preventing results of the test being made public. ALDERMAN McBEATH, chairman of. the finance committee, announced at a special meeting of the city council on Thursday that he had Varranged; to borrow from the city's bankers $900,000 at the interest rate of 6 3-4 per cent. This amount will be Used td set up sinking fund balances. Of this amount $343,000, which was recently -borrower on the security of local * improvements, will be repaid. ��������� By this repayment bonds hypothecated with the bank as security will be released and sold to the sinking fund By this, transaction the requirements of the city charter in connection with setting up the' sink ing fund balances >by the end of each year will have been- fulfilled. To Neffect the purchase the city will have to hypothecate all this year's tax arrears, aggre gating about $1,700,000. TBE CAR FARES THE BRITISH COLUMBIA . ELECTRIC Railway announces the discontinuance of tbe tango tickets-after-January 1. The new tickets will sell for 6 for 25 cents instead of 8 for f j}5c, but. they will carry transfers and be gdoisl" ' on :the owl cars. X ' ' ' ��������� " .0$ course the. British Columbia Electric Rail- |l"way> no doubt, understands its own business,' but * to us it looks as if this step will tend to increase the use of the jitneys. It might be^ pointed out to tbe British Columbia Electric that much of the passenger traffic they have been gettiug lately has been solely because of the savings .effected by the public in using tango tickets over paying a straight five cent fare to the'jitneys. The reduction in the service has caused many long waits and increased the temptation to use the'jitneys. People often are forced to take a jitney when they would rather ride -in, the cars. ,If that is the case where there is a decided economy in using the cars, the result' 1 is easy to see when the economy becomes negligible. 1 The jitney traffic is a disturbing element and * a difficult problem to deal with. It carihotgive a,full service to the public, yet it is proving a serious handicap to an organization that can give a proper service. The jitney competition will inevitably result" in a very inadequate and unsatisfactory transportation service to the public. The jitneys are the second stool between which and the handicapped tram service,^ the public is going to fall down. , Unfortunately the tram 'company hasnot always earned the good.will of the public, and th**- jitneys arrived just in time to ride in on a w^ve of public resentment against it. The jitney cannot, and never will provide a proper public transportation system, and its existence can only be a menace to a-system whieh not only can, but oyer which the city can exercise a ^measure of control to, provide adequate service. ���������'��������� -'''"������������������ ' x "'_��������� ..'."'"'X The city council for 1916 should make an honest effort to dispose of this question in. the public interest. The British Columbia ElectrifV" 'Railway and the jitneys should be called upon . either to give the entire city a good service for- reasonable charges or get out and leave the franchise to some one who will. If it is shown that the jitneys are causing inconvenience to the' vast majority of citizens who do not or could not use them,'- then it is tip to the city to deal with them accordingly. If the jitneys, are regulated out of business it should be on the understanding-.-; that the British Columbia Electric Railway give a substantial undertaking to provide- an'"adequate, service' at reasonable rates.

Little bodies of deserters have become much more frequent. The. saying in civilian Germany that "no one comes back ffom Ypres," prevails in the ranks, and even the half-humorous, remarks, shouted from the trenches indicate a state of disgust. The weather and fearful state of some of the trenches are in part the cause of this, but, the real reason is the supply of- artillery arid* munitions. The German is now obviously beginning to _feel that the balance-has changed and his inferiority is likely, to be permanent. It is not well to lay over much stress on a few desertions or the- confessions of deserters, .or'even on the absence of offensive movements. But it remains that a wave of deep depression is over many Germans in the trenches of. one wide and important district, and our men were never more cheerful, in spite of snow- and slush and cold and rotting sandbags and frequent landslips. # # # The Zion mule corps, composed of Jewish refugees from Jerusalem, gets official notice in the notice of awards from the Dardanelles.

Ho declared Sir Edgar a:i<r Sir Ernest, as naturalized British subjects, had all tho rights and privileges of British- born subjects, and therefore were entitled to be members of the Privy Council. Fifty-four members of the staff of * the Board of Education of Toronto have enlisted for active < service. Their places will be-fill- - ed by women, but will be. open to them again when they return. Fourth Canadian Division Authorization of a fourth Canadian Divcision to take -^s place in the field is expected before long. The Third Division, re-. ceutly formed,- is now .being got . into shape jn Prance, and the recruiting which is in progress throughout the country, and the reserve of troops in England, justify the Fourth Division, ,piak- ing in all two complete army- corps. The limit of the present establishment is a quarter of a million. By spring it is anticipated this will be raised to 300,- 000. Tlie Militia Council has decided that no'matter how many Canadian Divisions are organiz- "d for service abroad, they will be thoroughly Canadian in all of Uiolr branches. ]n .the past, ���������illhough tho great preponder- onco has been Canadian, n few of the sina)lor units have been sunpliod overseas. There is every, reason to believe that the German Reichstag will have to sit much longer . than was expected in order to deal with- the pressing discontent among the masses, says a Rotterdam despatch. "In order to appease the.se clamorings it will, need to deal with no'fewer than one hundred and thirty resolutions, all relating to the distribution of food, besides resolutions dealing with the social policy, which will require delicate handling, and demands of better pay foiv the soldiers for the relief, of war families."

PHONES: SEY. 405, 605, 5408, 5409 J BOLL OF HONOR UNVEILED An event of unusual interest* and one which ��������� stirred to the depths the patriotic sentiments of all the partakers and onlookers, took place at Mount Pleasant Methodist church last Sunday night, when the unveiling of the second roll of honor was conducted with due pomp and ceremony. So universal was the interest in the event that the church was filled to seating and standing capacity, and many disappointed people had to forego participation in the proceedings. The seats in the central portion of the church were, reserved for the men in uniform and their friends. The church was prettily decorated with flags and bunting, the gallery and choir seats being | draped with the same, whilst a giant Union Jack covered the whole front. In harmony with the surroundings and general trend of feeling, the service was of a patriotic tone throughout, and patriotic choruses and solos were sung by a full choir.. The speakers of the evening were the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. J. Sipprell, Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P., Col. Clark, commanding officer of the 72nd Battalion,, and Rev. W. P. Bunt, who read the scriptural ies- son. ' ',, Rev. Dr. Sipprell, in his address to the men in uniform, based on the'text, "What-Shall a Man Give in Exchange for His Soul?" made a stirring appeal ta them to take their stand on the side of the King of Kings in as noble a manner as they had taken it in response to the summons of the King of Britain. He declared that the war had brought Russia, France and Belgium into a new realization of their national souls, and he believed it was awakening the people of Britain to 'a higher spiritual consciousness. And, in this case* the nation was typical of the people who were beginning to take a more serious view of spiritual responsibility. Mr. Stevens made a clear. and earnest speech, basing his remarks on two questions: Did Britain have just cause for entering the war? - and when should we sheath the sword ? He justified Britain's attitude as the only one consistent with her national self-respect, her traditions and high ideals. As for defeat, the danger lay within, in the form of the liquor traffic, an evil which Britain had already done much to eradicate, and in a manner which Canada would wisely emulate. As for when Britain should , sheathe the sword, he said not until. Germany had made restitution, as far as possible .and; had been made to pay the price of the devastation of Belgium, France and Poland, for the sink, ing of the Lusitania, the murder of Edith Cavell and countless other inhuman acts. t Col. Clark congratulated the church on tbe record number of .recruits she had already-furnished to the great cause*. and hoped for its steady continuance. Victory and. apathy could not go hand in hand, he said. He also appealed to the congregation to support the Patriotic Fund, as thirty-four per cent, of his battalion were men with families. Mr. Stevens and Col. Clark conducted the ceremony of unveiling the honor roll, on which appeared forty-one names, namely: Armishaw, Or. Armishaw, A. Bullock, F. Bullock, A. Bellring- er, M. W. Bracewell, _W. A. Campbell. H. C. Chamberlain, A. E. Clapp (who was killed in action), N. Coates, R. G. Crowe, C' S. Dean, R. Dingree, A. N. Freen, C. W. Fox, W. "S. Garbutt, H. H. Hammond, W. Harper, J. W. Irwin* W. A. Laird, J. Machin, R. Marsden, J. Mullett, J. Mung- er, A. G. McLeod, I_. McMorran, G. Pearson, E. R. Rule, F. Seed, H. Simmons, C. E. Smeton, J. A. Smith, W. Thomas, H. E. Tre- leaven, F. H. Trenholme, H. Ur- quhart, A. West, C. K. Fox, A. R. Taylor, and Nursing Sister M. Healey. As the pastor called the roll, the men rose in answer to X their names, those not present being represented by their next of kin. It is a noteworthy fact that the first honor roll which was unveiled in this church contained forty- eight names of members of the congregation, and as a sign' that the patriotic flame has hot died out* a third tablet has been erected for future volunteers. .X'l wouldn't go out vat the end of every act, my boy.

Ernie Johnson and Lester Patrick did not start with the teams but they were soon rushed in as spares and the substitutes pulled out.

December- 31. 19lj /- "-? LOCAL ITEMS OF INTEREST Mt. Pleasant Y. P. S. C. E. I The regular meeting of 'above society was held in the the* Junior schoolroom Monday evening last. The topie, "How to Keep on the Up Grade," was taken by Mr. Graham Bruce, who gave a splendid paper. , A speeial feature of the meeting was the installation of the new officers for the coming year by Mr. Mitchell. The topic for next Monday evening is "Consecration," and will be taken by the President, Miss J. M. Robertson. Many New Years' Eve parties are T)eing held throughout Mount Pleasant tonight. Late cars will help the first-footers do their rounds. Canada Recruits 210,000 ���������- for War Men get no rifle' practice except' at at the indoor ranges during the winter, and the ranges are no good as far as sighting is concerned. They teach a man to hold a gun and how to operate it. We can't handle men any faster than we are getting them. But wait until spring and you'll see things liven up. Canada has no reason to feel ashamed of the way she has re-, 'sponded to the call to arms. She . has 110,000 men at the front, 100, 000 more vin training and before next May 40,000 more volunteers will enlist, which will make a total of 250,000 men in Jess than two years." Such are the words of Col. Wiji.-p McBean, of Major-Gen. Hughes' staff. We are getting all the recruits in -Canada that we can equip and train. Understand there is little outdoor training possible vhere in winter, and the supply-bf barracks for large numbers is totally inadequate. ��������� The'! men- can The largest crowd of tbe season should be on hand to greet the Millionaires next Tuesday evening when they battle with the Seattle team. A little encouragement is coming to.the boys after their first victory of the season. While the Portland team went into the undisputed lead for the P. C. H. \j. championship as the result of Tuesday night, it is quite probable that while they may retain their lead, the race wil lbe considerably tightened as the result of the games next Tuesday. Portland journeys to Victoria, and with Lester Patrick back at cover, the Aristocrats will be a hard team to beat. Capt. Foyston, of the Metropolitans, wi havle his work cut out for him with the Vancouvers. From the goal'out as far as Taylor, the champions look like the team of a year ago. Lehman, Patrick, Griffiths and Taylor are a quartette of champions to be sure. The Answer "Just suppose," supposes the King of Greece, "that the Germans were in a position to demand that your country concede the use of Boston or Seattle as the base of an attack on Canada. What would you say?" The answer probably is that if we had pledged our word to support Canada in ease it was attacked we should probably keep our word, regardless of the consequences.���������Chicago Daily Tribune.

Forest Preservation Government statistics showing that during the present- year no less a sum than ten million.- dollars was lost by forest fires make depressing reading. It seems: almost past belief that twelve thousand separate forest fire- shave had to be fought. Carelessness on the part of settlers is the main cause set down for the outbreaks. The fact is very clearly. realized that still more stringent laws are needed in nearly all of the provinces if there is to be any marked abatement of this deplorable evil, lt is a matter of no little consolation to be informed that railways, however, owing to greater supervision, are charge able with quite a small percentage of the fires���������in former years they were the chief offenders. She Had a Season Dinah Snow was a colored cook in the home of the Smiths. One morning on going to the kitchen Mrs. Smith noticed that Dinah looked as if she had been tangled up with a road roller. ��������� "Why, Dinah!" exclaimed she. ''What in the world has happened to you?" "Was me husban'," explained Dinah. "He done went an' beat me ag'in, an' jes' fo' nothin' too!" "Again!" cried Mrs. Smith, with increasing wonder. "Is he in the habit of beating you? Why don't you have him., arrested?" "Been thinkin' ob it several times, missy,'' ,was the rejoinder , of Dinah, "but I hain't nebiih had' no money tp?pay his fine.'^Atlanta,;Journal. .���������>. Spain Purchasing Munitions Spain has entered the American market to buy $20,000,000 worth of munitions of war and machinery to complete the equipment of Spanish munition plants. Francisco Gavier Salas, Spanish Consul- General in New York, said that a commission of five military officers had ' been in the United States since last February quietly engaged in rounding up huge orders of military supplies. Four hundred' million, cartridges and shells already have beeri ordered for earliest possible delivery. Many rifles and field guns of'Various types will be required, but no orders have yet been pieced for :arms, because American manufacturers have raised their prices to"an exorbitant figure in their trade with the belligerent governments. ���������* CUT FREIGHT RATES 1 x * ��������� ��������� - Household Goods packed,and shipped to all parts of.the world at a saving you of from 25 per cent, to 45 per cent., owing to our improved method packing and superior shipping facilities. -For "Fireproof" Storage, Bemova in "Car Vans," High Grade Packing, or Shipping7at prompt, reliable and courteous service.
