See tho next episode and you will not miss the following ones. Tuesday night only. A particularly good thingin the film line which is booked at the 'Ilo Ilo Theatre for either Wed- i esday or Friday of the coming week,-is a production of the American Film Company, "The Gir from His Town" with Margarita Fischer in stellar role. This is a four-act drama of the stage and one that has made a great hit with all audiences. Miss Fischer, has been a great favorite in films for the past few years. Previous to that time she was for some years with the Pollard Opera Compeny, and was well known on the Pacific coast in such popular plays as "The Belle of New York" and other Pollard sue cesses. When the "Girl From His Town" was recently shown in Vancouver it drew crowded houses for a week, as evidence of her popularity there. The story, itself is an exceptionally good one and should not be missed, lt can be shown here one day only, the exact date to be announced later. Some of the most hair-breadth escapes imaginable are shown in "The Girl and the Game," a series of railroad stories which have made Helen Holmes famous. The series will start shortly at the Ilo Ilo.

' THE FINGERS OF FATE. The grip begins to tighten.—JohnBull, NEW SCHEME FOR RECRUITING Ottawa, Aug. 16.—A species of registration is outlined in the government's new system of recruiting for which an oi der-in- eouncil was passed today. Briefly the new scheme contemplates the appointment of directors of recruiting, who will have supervision of enlistments in the various military districts, one director to be appointed for each district. These directors shall be empowered to make a canvas of tl eir districts with a view to distinguishing between the various classes. Those whose services are refused in the essential industries of the country shall have their names tabulated, while those who are physically unfit shall be provided with badges or buttons, thus by inference all (slackers) shall be designated. Regulations governing badges are somewhat extensive. Badges in such form as the Governor in Council may recommend shall be issued to the following classes! (a) Men honorably discharged from expeditionary forces. (b) Men who have offered themselves for active service in the present war and have been rejected. (c) Men who desire or who have offered to enlist and who have been refused on the ground that their services are of more value to the state in the employment in which they are engaged than if they should enlist in active service. ECHOES OF STRIKE HUNS ATTEMPT TO BRIBE ROUMANIA Bucharest, Aug. 16.—Germany has proposed territorial compensation at the expense of Austria- Hungary as a reward for continued Roumanian neutrality, according to a story published in the Epocha here today" •VOTING AT CAMP HUGHES Camp Hughes, Man., Aug. 16. —All former residents of British Columbia have been requested to register their names in their battalion orderly rooms in- connection with the British Columbia elections.

" Daniel in the Lion's Den." The Commision appointed by the Provincial Government to in- vestfgate claims for damages a- rising from the strike disorders of 1913 and 1914 opened its sess-' ion in Nanaimo yesterday under the chairmanship of His Honor Mr. Justice Gregory, with Mr. H. Langley as secretary. Claims totaling in the vicinity of $70,000 have already been filed with the commision and all claims have not yet been submitted. After reading the Mandate from the government appointing hittr as Commisioner His Lordship stated that he had received letters through the mail which he had not read and which he did not propose to read as he wished to keep an open mind on the question during the progress of sittings. Any person desiring to bring their claims before the Commision, His Lordship stated, could do so by communicating with Secretary Langley or Mr. Herchemer, council representing the Provincial Government. Mr. Herchemer stated that a number of claims for damages had been received from Ladysmith, South Wellington and Extension, and in order that as little inconvenience as possible might be occasioned to employers of labor by the calling away from their work of a large number of men who would be required to hgive exidence in support of these claims, he suggested that special sessions of the Commision should be held at these centres later on. Since there were somewhere in neighborhood of two hundred claims to be heard in Nanaimo, he thought it would be some time before the Commission would be ready to sit elsewhere, and he suggested theiefore that His Lordship should set a" date for sittings at the other places named. FRVATTS MURDER MUST BE AVENGED London, Aug. 16.—Replying to a question in the House of Commons today, Premier Asquith said the government was determined that "this country will nol tolerate a resumption of diplomatic relations with Germany after the war until reparation is made for the murder of Captain Fryatt." "Some ofourallies," continued the premier, "have suffered by brutalities even more gross. We are in consultation with them as to what conditions should be expected in the terms of peace to secure reparation that will satisfy justice." A member asked if the government was "prepared to make a statement that Emperor William is wanted for wilful murder in this case." No answer was made to tips. *m'-:f^\$^^ "k aw (Km —By Bert Thomas in London Opinion. WASTEFUL COKE Mrs. J. H. MacMillan, of Prince Rupert, is here on a visit to her parents Mr. and Mrs. John Mac Kenzie. Newest Styles in Ladies Serge Tweed & Check Skirts shown this week at Campbells. J. V. Nordgren of the accounting department of the Canadian Collieries Dunsmuir, Ltd., left on Monday on a ten days vacation to Seattle and Portland. i The coke produced in Western Canada is made almost entirely in beehive ovens. The volatile combustible contents are consumed and all of the valuable constituents of the coal except fixed carbon, which remains as coke, are wasted. These wasted constituents consists of gas, tar and ammonia. In by-product ovens the tar, ammonia and all of the gas, except that used for heating the ovens, are recovered. In the carbonization of coal by the two different classes of ovens mentioned, high temperatures are used. Low temperature carbonization is still only in the early stages of its technical development, but, helped by the war demands, for high yields of light oils, it is now being energetically pushed forward in Great Britain and has an assured future as an adjunct of the older systems of high temperature carbonization, especially in view of the growing demand for light oil as motor fuel. Coal gas residuals form the bases of many industries. Owing to the great development of byproduct coke ovens and gas plants in Germany and the application of modern chemistry to (he util- izationof their by-products, these industries have been controlled largely by thai country, In the readjustment of industrial and trade conditions after the war, it is desirable that as many of these industries as possible be established in Canada and in other parts of the British Empire. There are two large by-product coke ovens in Canada which produce 67 per cent of our coke output. These plants are situated at Sault Ste Marie, Ont., and at Sydney, N. s>. Since the outbreak of war, the latter plant has been installing a benzol recovery plant. While large quantities of tar are recovered from local gas plants, no industries have been established for the refining, separation and use of the products obtainable from it. Not only is the saving of the by-products from the coking or carbonization of coal a measure of conservation, but the sale of these residuals reduces the cost of production in a degree corresponding to the efficiency of the recovery methods adopted and the market value of the products, -W.

Onc by one the Camping parties have been "folding their tents" and returning to homes and business cares, this week. While the weather this summer has not been as ideal for camping, in this section, at least, as usual, still many families have benefitted by a few weeks of outdoor life spent along the beaches, and are returning re- freshed and ready for work. Cumberland is particularly fortunate in the matter of beautiful camping spots, numerous good bathing beaches being in easy walking distance, and even connected liy train service, both on salt water and on Comox lake, where tliere is splendid boating antl fishing as well. Schoolchildren, especially, who are privi- liged to spend their summer holidays in this manner should ap- i preciate the fact, as there are I so many in cities who are not so fortunate. FOR SALE.

Foreign subscriptions to countries In Postal Union, $2.tH) S.V.'I.'KDAY, AUGUST lilth 1916 ACCIDENTS IN ONTARIO The lirst annual report of the Ontario Workmens' Compensation Board contains interesting data concerning the cost of accidents in that province. Under the Act governing the Board's operations it is compulsory for emplojers to report all accidents by which employees are prevented from earning full wages. This has had the effect of securing very full reports. For the year 1915, 17,088 notices of accident were received by the Board. Of these, 9,829 came under the Board's jurisdiction, and 7,(1011 were finally disposed of. The time lost due to these 7,600 accidents amounted to 170,711 days, or equal ti the combined labour of a stall' of 569 men for a yea'. Only temporary disability resulted from 0,544 accidents, but in 1,033 cases permanent disability followed, and 251 of the ac cidents resulted fatally. The value of safety appliances is very strongly emphasized by comparisons betweeen the cost of necessary safeguards and the monetary eostof accidents resulting from their absence. For instance, automatic locks on two elevators, at a cost of $3.50, would have saved-two lives and •S"G, 179 compensation, The removal of protruding nails, pieces of broken glass and metals, would have saved 120 injuries, while the wearing of goggles, costing *150, might have saved 38 work men from permanent injuries to to the eyes and $42,846 in compensation. The foregoing presents in a striking manner the need of care to prevent accidents. Many of our larger industries are organizing safety associations to further impress upon the employers and workmen the advantage of safety appliances and the use of every precaution in their work; much good has already resulted. Such a record of accidents, causing a constant and ceaseless drain upon the productive resources of Canada, is unnecessary. Enlistment is making heavy demands upon the labour of i lanada, and there is already a severe shortage in some branches of industry. Yet, in one province alone, in 1005, accidents injured 17,033, permanently disabled 1,033, aud killed 251 of our producers.

GAME A NATIONAL ASSET Judging from the rate at which the wild creatures of North Am erica are now being destroyed fifty years hence there will be no large game left in the United States nor in Canada, outside of rigidly protected game preserves. It is therefore the duty of every good citizen to promote the protection of forests and wild life and the creation of game preserves, while a supply of wild game remains. Every man who finds pleasure in hunting or fishing should be willing to spend both time and money in active work for the protection of forests, fish and game. In the settled and civilized regions of North America, there is no real necessity for the consumption of wild game as human food; nor is there any good excuse for the sale of game for food purposes. The operations of market hunters should be prohibited everywhere, under severe penalties. The highest purpose which the killing of wild game and game fishes can hereafter be made to serve, is in furnishing objects to overworked men for tramping and camping trips in the wilds, and the value of wild game as human food should no longer be regarded as an important factor in its pursuit. -Code of Ethics, Michigan Wild Life League.
