'The Governor-General was given a warm welcome at Nelson, aud pleased he children of the city by shaking landB with every child ln the city schools. V Cumberland is without a police magistrate, Mr. Alex. McKinnon, who for some time had held this position, has resigned, and the government has not seen fit to appoint a man in his place. The people of Cumberland are beginning to ask themselves "What is the matter?" About the first of September the City Council sent to the attorney-general at Victoria an application for the appointment of Aid. Thomson, who was the nominee ior the position by the civic body, but Hon. Mr. Farris has not yet deigned to make any reply. Now the City Council is up in arms and they intend to push the matter to the limit. They feel they are the best judges as to what the community wants under such circumstances and they are making a move to come to a showdown with the attorney-general. It is hinted by some citizens that the reason for the delay can be traced to the desire of the government to appoint a man who is more to their liking than is the nominee of the City Council, and that the attorney-general is doing his best to give the position to a faithful supporter of the government, thus handing out a reward for services rendered to a political party. The City Council, however, does not intend that they shall be ignored in the making of the appointment, and at the meeting on Tuesday night the city clerk was instructed to write the attorney- general and remind him of the application already sent him. It is stated on good authority that if a satisfactory reply is not received within a reasonable lime the council will clear their decks for action and a regular bombardment opened. At the present time the city is practically without the proper authority to administer the law, Mr. McKinnon resigned because he could not-devote his time to the position, and although pressed to continue until his successor is appointed, he has declined lo act any longer, and the city has therefore no magistrate. Interesting developments may be looked for in the near future. States Lower House (Special l>('"|i..ieii in Ih.'

ROBERTS AND ROSS AGAIN Vnncouver Boxer Believes lie Can Turn the Tables on the Man From Merville. Ross of Vancouver, who was defeated by Roberts of Merville in their bout here in September, believes he can reverse tho decision If given an opportunity, and arrangements are being made to gratify his desire. Messrs. J. D. Davis and Robt. Brown have practically completed plans for staging a go between these two men on the night of November 8, which should be welcome news to the fight fans of this district. It Is stated that Ross has improved considerably ln his ring work since his last appearance here. Last Saturday he won u bout in Vernon and during the next couple of weeks he will fight-In both Portland and Seattle. A large percentage of those who witnessed the light between Ross and Roberts here In September are of the opinion that Ross should have been awarded the decision, while the admirers of Roberts are equality firm In their belief that the decision »f the referee was a proper one. No doubt a large crowd wlll he present to greet these boxers on their next appearance. One could not help being struck by the splendid spirit of sportsmanship displayed by the Cumberland people at the football match last Sunday, and the writer must confess that it was about the finest exhibition In this respect which he has ever seen. It Is only natural that people wish to see their home team win, and they can readily be pardoned for cheering the local men for their work on the held, but they are not usually prone to hand out bouquets to an aggregation of athletes who are doing their best to lower the colors of home players. Such, however, was the case on Sunday afternoon, and on several occasions the applause bestowed upon the men from Nanaimo equaled that given the Cumberland boys. This ls only as It should be, but as stated, It ls rarely In evidencce. * • • And the Nanaimo men fully deserved the kind words spoken of them. During the progress of the game they displayed genuine sportsmanship and proved themselves gentlemanly oppon ents. They were naturally anxious to win, but their anxiety in this respect did not carry them beyond thc hounds of the true sportsman. * * • These remarks are equally true of the Cumberland players. Perhaps the local men had greater provocation to complain than did their opponents, because the referee (who no doubt tried to be impartial) gave some pretty raw decisions, and the Cumberland boys might easily have been excused for registering a strenuous protest. They, however, took their medicine and said nothing. All of which proves that the Cumberland footballers and the people in general are genuine sportsmen. * * * I was also struck by the splendid spirit shown during the progress of the boxing contest on Saturday night. Both contestants had many admirers ln the audience, and the applause was frequent and hearty. There was, however, a marked absence of the rowdyism and offensive remarks which quite frequently emanate from the spectators at a prize fight. Boxing ls a strenuous game and has a tendency to excite an audience, but the supporters of the game In Cumberland have proved conclusively that the sport can be conducted in a gentlemanly manner. The promoters of Saturday night's events are to be congratulated upon the splendid way in which the whole affair was conducted. Would Reinstate Seven Island Pros. The -local board of the B.C.A.A.U. met at Victoria this week, the business being the consideration of applications for reinstatement as amateurs from the following well-knpwn Victoria athletes:' Al Davis, Dal Thomas, Ed. Brynjolfson, Boss Johnson, Billy Hill, Scotty McKay and W. H. Davis. As a result of the meeting the board wlll recommend to the provincial body that all Ihe above-mentioned athletes be reinstated as amateurs and the provincial body will, act on this recocm- mendation at a meeting to be held as soon as possible. 11) NAT BEVIS. Old Probs the weather man was kind enough to put the stopper In his watering can for a sulDcient time to allow tho football fans of Cumberland to witness one of the beat games that has been played in this city this season. There was a large, turnout at Recreation grounds on Sunday afternoon when the Cumberland and Nanaimo United teams clashed in their fixture of the Upper Island Football League. Some good games have been played between these teams during the last few months, and Sunday's contest was no exception. Cumberland has met and defeated the team from Nanaimo four times this season, each time with a score .of 2-0, and the tifth game was a draw. Rain was falling pretty steadily during Use morning, but about noon the weather cleared and remained tine (luring the afternoon. Both teams turned out almost at full strength, Cumberland being without Hunden, their outside left, C. Wilkinson taking his place. N'anaimo was without Craig, their famous right half, he having met with a slight Injury while at work last week. Synopsis of Play. The referee called the game at 2:4_ Cumberland won the toss and decided to defend the east goal. Hlnes kicked off for Nanaimo; Jackson Intercepted and let Cumberland away, but not for long, as Nanaimo defence was equal to the occasion. Nanaimo then got away on the right wing, Emerson and Green showing some fine combination work. Wilkinson, however, stepped in and stopped them in short order. W. Brown then secured the ball but was pulled up for being off-side. Leigh took the free kick, but Cairns returned the ball to the Nanaimo end. Bannerman carried the ball up the right wing, only to be stopped in time by Zaccarelll. Nanaimo now got settled down to Its usual splendid combination and some line football resulted. Hines, the centre forward, kept his team-mates on the balance. They had a few attempts at goal, but did not appear dangerous, all their tries going past the side. Nanaimo at this stage of the game was showing superior form. However, It was now Cumberland's turn to wake up If they Intended annexing points. Conti got away on his own and forced Murray to give away a corner, Conti taking the kick which was placed well. The ball went straight for Brown's head, and the latter had a good try for goal, but Donaldson saved. The Nanaimo formards appeared to slacken now and Cumberland had their inning. A foul off Conti for handling the ball spoiled a good opportunity. At this stage off-side and foul decisions appeared to have the effect of slowing up the game. The ball was now carried to Cumberland goal, to be nicely returned by Cairns. Then Smith had a try at Walker with a soft shot, the latter having no trouble to clear his lines. Hlnes, Nanaimo centre forward, met with a slight accident, his head coming In contact with A. Wilkinson's foot, causing a nasty cut above the eye. Hlnes was forced to retire. Nanaimo was npw very much handicapped owing to the absence of their centre forward, as he was showing great form prior to his injury. Bannerman again got away on the right, outplaying the defence. He secured a try for goal, the hall hitting Murray's shoulder, bounding Into the corner of. the net and bounding hack Into the Held again. The referee declared It a goal, and Cum- berland thus secured Its first point. This appeared to put more life into the game, anil Nanaimo was determined to even up the score. Wilkinson, however, was always on the Job, his checking and kicking being noticeable features, Half-time wan now called, with Oumborlaud leading by one goal to nil. During this period the Nanaimo. team appeared superior, but they were unable to locate the net. Upon the resuptton of play, Brown kicked off for Cumberland. Ho passed iiic ball lo Conti, nnd together with R. Brownj the trio uncorked some fine mhlnnrion, the play being almost ■ hoy carried the ball direct to • goal, Cnnii testing Donaldson a hot shot.

Although the Nanaimo boys were playing on the defensive they were doing some wonderful work, especially Murray and Zaccarelll, who were in great form. From a throw-in, C. Wilkinson passed to W. Brown, who out-played JACK ROBERTS of Merville, who has been challenged to light hy Ross. JIMMY CLARK DEFEATS TOMMY MOORE EASILY VANCOUVER BOXER SHOWS SUPERIORITY OVER HIS NANAIMO RIVAL. Moore Puts Up Game Fight, but Clark's Ring Experiencce Was Too Great—Moore's Seconds Toss Towel Into Ring in Tenth Round, Admitting Defeat. THE EXCELSIOR LIFE INSURANCE Coinpuny want a representative in this territory. Full information and literature mailled on request. M. J. Gillespie, Inspector. Standard Bank Building, Vancouver. B.C. Jimmy Clark of Vancouver decisively defeated Tommy Moore of Nanaimo on Saturday night last for the lightweight championship of British Columbia. Moore's seconds threw the towel Into the ring one minute after the commencement ot the tenth round, thereby avoiding what appeared to the spectators as an Inevitable knockout. . Clark's superiority as a boxer was clearly shown from the commencement of the fight, aud as the bout progressed his ring generalship and experience were apparent. Although he was outpointed in every round but one, Moore ls deserving of the greatest credit for his pluck ln standing up against such a gruelling as Clark handed out. It appeared to be the opinion of the majority of the fans prior to the bout that the Vancouver man would prove the victor, but It was generally believed that Moore would last the full fifteen rounds. It Is stated considerable money changed hands on this basis. In the third round only did Moore make a showing, and In this he succeeded in securing an even hreuk. All the other rounds were decidedly in favor of Clark. Only once did Moore go to the floor, and that, In the seventh round, was due to a slip and not as the result of a blow from ills opponent. After the light Clark addressed tho audience and gave Moore thc credit of lining the toughest proposition he liail gone up ugaimit ton some time and complimented the Nanaimo hid on bin gamoucss. Moore also said a few words and announced that he had fought his last tight, an announcement that was not at all welcomed by his friends. The contest was a clean one throughout, and though Moore resorted to the clinch to a considerable ixtcnl toward the latter part, the bout was a very good exhililtlon. The promoters,, Messrs. J. D. Davis and Robt. Brown, are to be congratulated upon the orderly and sportsmanlike manner iu which the whole affair was conducted, and future events should prove strong drawing cards. . The officials selected lo handle the bout were Mr, A. Rowan of Cumberland, referee, and Mr. S. Swansou of Cumberland and Mr. Sharpies of Nanaimo as judges. As a preliminary to the big event a four-round two-minute bout was staged between Durham and Roberts of Merville, in which honors were evenly divided. Roberts had a slight advantage In the lirst; the second nnd third were about even, while Durham had slightly the better of the argument In the fourth. Air. Al. Davis of Nanaimo acted as announcer and be succeeded in putting the large audience in good humor by his happy remarks. The contests wero staged In the llo Ilo Theatre, which was filled with enthusiastic fight fans. Make Your Trip a Success Ammunition — the right t mmunition—is half thc big game trip.

There appears to he a marked antipathy ou the part nf the provincial attorney-general to carry nut the wishes of the people of Cumberland as expressed by the City Council regarding the appointment of u police magistrate to succeed Mr. .McKinnon, who some time ago resigned. As a result of thla failure to make an appointment 10 this important ofllce, the city ol Cumberland is virtually without the proper authority to administer tlie law in the community. It Is well on to two months since the City Council asked the attorney-general to appoint Aid, Thompson to fill, the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. McKinnon, but as yet no notice has been taken ot the request, and Cumberland is without a police magistrate. Wherein lies the difficulty? Is it because the nominee of the City Council and the choice ol the people of Cumberland is not looked upon with favor by the powers that lie at Victoria? There appears tu lie a well-grounded suspicion that such Is the case, and that this is the cause of the delay. Perhaps the atturney- general has in mind the appointment of some faithful follower of the government, and while he must surely recognize the fact that a community of the importance which Cumberland possesses is in need of a police magistrate, he apparently refuses to accede to the wishes qJ the people of this city in making the appointment. How long must tiie people of this provincce be compelled to submit to such treatment? And how long will it be befor they rise en mass and demonstrate to those who are prone to assume tlie role of dictator when such in stances arise that it is the people who rule this province and not a chosen few who are accidentally in olllce for the time being? barge that debt and that as quickly a possible. They can best do this by ubscribing to the Victory Loan. Illlllllllill "Sweet are the uses of adversity," ut if you cannot buy sugar with them -hat is the use? "This is a line place," complains a Mttsburg man. "The strikers won't ct me work on week days and the lolice won't let me work on Sundays." An exchange remarks: "Winnipeg ixperlenced no trouble at all ln en- ertaining the delegates to the drug- lists' convention, recently held in that ■ity. They were all 'good mixers.'" An ultra-democratic United States tewspaper, which regards titles as an ibomlnation, refers to the King and lueen of tho Belgians as "Mr. and Mrs. Belgium." One of the speakers at a Farmers larty convention recently was frank nnough to admit that he was In favor if eight hours a day—eight before linner and eight after. A wag suggests that people who com plain of the extravagance displayed by >eoplc in buying automobiles, would, tad they lived in prehistoric times, mtered similar protests against the dse of the wheelbarrow. The temperature of the water In the 3ulf Stream has never been known to je so hot as at present. Sailors are mid to amuse themselves by poaching jggs in the stream for breakfast. The 'phenomena puzzles the scientists and where the sailors get the eggs ls mother mystery. Reports continue to show Improve- pent ln the condition of President Wilson. It is sincerely hoped that he .vlll be spared to guide the United States in the proper performance of tier duty. His loss at the present time would be felt throughout the whole world, but the blow would prove greater to the United States than to ihe rest of the world combined. AT PEACE WITH GERMANY. When His Majesty King George placed his signature to the treaty ol peace he officially declared that the British Empire was once more at peace with Germany. Offtclally tliere is peace and It is presupposed that harmany should also prevail, but the latter Is only a supposition. It is beyond all reason to expect that the people of Great Britain and her colonies and dependencies can so soon forgot tlie misdeeds of the German nation. So long as there are within the con- lines of the Empire people who mourn the loss of dear ones during the war there call be no forgetting; and usually where there Is no forgetting there is no forgiving. No doubt as the years puss by the feeling of contempt and distrust which the German people have earned for themselves will to an ex- teut die out, but the people of the British Empire will never again trust the German nation as was the case before the mad man ol* Postdam let loose his dogs of war and turned Europe into a shambles. Perhaps the Germans may rehabilitate themselves with the civilized races, but that can only be made possible by forsaking tlie policy of world domination which has been followed for years and which the present generation of Germans lias been taught lo believe was Ihe destiny in store for the fatherland. There will be official peace and to outward appearances there will he harmony, but the people of the British Empire will let tin; people of Germany know in no uncertain manner that their absence is much preferred to their company Many United States senators claim that America should have equal repre- lentation in the League of Nations with the British Empire. They seem to forget that the Empire is made up of several self-governing states, each of which did as much if not more than the United States in the winning of the war. The war was more than half over before the United States made any move to offer a helping hand, and her total of dead and wounded docs no more than equal that of Canada. She is therefore entitled to no more say ln the League ot Nations than is this country. II0RKOIY1NG AT HOME. Tlie advantages to be derived from raising at home the money necessary ior public purposes rather than obtaining il abroad arc so great and manifest that the government should experience no difficulty in successfully Homing the forthcoming Victory Loan. By purchasing the bonds, thereby loaning their money to the Canadian Government, the people of Canada reap the benefit of the Interest which the government must pay for the use of the money and do'not place themselves under any obligations to foreign money lenders. When money ls raised at home the nation as a whole is not running into debt, the people merely loaning the money to themselves. The government becomes indebted to the people, but the people are under no obligations to outsiders. For this reason alone, if for no other, it is desirable that every citizen of Canada should belli make the loan a success. A country that is worth living in is worth supporting financially, and when the security Is undoubted no good reason can be ad- vuucetl why each citizen should not do his share. Most of the money will be spent In re-cstublishlng the returned soldier, a debt which the nation owes to the men who did the, lighting on the fields of France and Flanders. Tlie people of Canada must dis- The City Council is to be congratu Iated upon the liberality which they have shown toward the returned men in granting a long-term lease of a valuable piece of property in the centre of the city to the Great War Veterans' Association, who will use it for the purpose of erecting thereon a clubhouse for the use of its members. The men who did the fighting for the nation when she needed the services of every man to assist in driving the Prussian ruffians back to their own country should not be forgotten now that this work has been accomplished, and the people of Cumberland have lecided that these services will be ,'ecognized in a substantial manner. MACKENZIE KING GIVES HIS SUPPORT Leader of Liberal I'urty Assures Finance Minister Both He and Ills 1'iirt) Are In Furor of It That there Is to be no politics In the iloating of the Victory Loan Is fully leiuonstrated by the following letter (rom W.

My Hear Sir Henry,— I am pleased to join with you ln commending the Victory Loan to the people of Canada. It is Imperative that Canada's credit should be maintained. As the government finds that borrowing is a necessity to meet existtnlg obligations, it ls iu every way desirable that the amount required should if possible be raised within Canada Itself. I hope, therefore, that the lo|n muy be over-subscribed by citizens -pf the Dominion. You appreciate, of course, that In expressing a desire to see the loan a success, such obligation as I may have 11 the matter of criticizing unnecessary or extravagant public expenditures is increased, rather than lessened; and that this endorsatlon ls given upon your assurance that "the organization of the campaign, everything about It, is absolutely and entirely non-political."

(Reprinted from the Shanghai Gazette, Shanghai.) The Osaka Ashai recently requested Dr. Sun Yat-sen to give his views on present Chtno-Japanese relations. Dr. Sun's reply to the Ashai ls given in full herewith: I will frankly answer the questions put to me by your representative as to the underlying cause of China's deep animosity toward Japan, and as to the way by which more harmonious relations between these two countries can be brought about. In the past I exerted myself to bring about a better understanding and closer friendship between our two countries, but my efforts in recent years have met wit'i utter failure owing to the actions, of the Japanese Government In abetting the traitorous Chinese officials te further their selfish ends and tb thwart the efforts of the People's Party. The members of the Mintang or the People's Party, are comparable to your reformers of the Meijl Period. Through the efforts of your own reformers Japan, from a weak and small country, has become a strong and prosperous nation in the East. Since our reformers desired to emulate the achievements of the MeIJi statesmen ln the reconstruction of China, I did my best to (effect a more intimate friendship between our countries. But the Militarists of Japan In the pursuit of the'.r aggrandizing imperia- llastlc policy, entirely disregarded the humanitarian aims and principles of their own reformers and considered China merely as being tn the path of least resistance for the expansion of their territorial ambitions. With the adoption of such an attitude harmony between our countries Is unimaginable. Your apologists declare that you cannot understand why China should single out Japan for her bitter hatred when Japan is not thn only Power1 that adopts such an aggressive policy towards China. What dltference exists between this line of reasoning and the query i of the younger brother who, after leaguing himself wf.th robbers to plundier his elder brother's property, enquires ot the elder brother: "Wtujrefore should you hate me more than you do the other robliers, for we are of the same flesh tinfl blood?" When Japan, like the unnatural brother, preaches racial aifnnity and closer relations, the limit of China's endurance ls reached. When Japan captured TsIntHau after her declaration of war with (Germany, shej solemnly, declared to tire world that she would return Tsingtau to China—the rightful oyner. But as soon as China Joined the Entente Powers, Japan secretly made a pact with the latter Powers by which she was recognized as the successor of the German rights in Shantung. As Japan was also instrumental in China's step of throwing In her lot with the Allies, it seemed apparent that Japan made this move only that she might enjoy the profits of China's labor. What sort ot transaction does this appear in the eyes of the Chinese? To make China work while Japan sits by and enjoys the wages of China's labor. Such an act is known in the expressive Canton colloquialism as "Mai chu teal," or selling poached pigs. This term originated at the time when the countries of Peru, Chile and Cuba lacked pioneer laborers to open their wilderness. The foreign capitalists, learning of the cheap and Industrious laborers of China and desiring to take advantage ot them, sent out agents to obtain Chinese coolies for them. China was still a secluded country and forbade her laborers to be "exported." Therefore the foreign i agents could obtain them only through the port of Macao, which was leased to the Portuguese as a trading station. From this port many hundred thousands ot Chinese coolies were "exported" yearly to those countries, beguiled by promises ot an El Dorado. These poor coolies were treated worse than the beasts of the Held, and not only had they to perform bard labor, but they had to endure such cruelties and barbarities as flogging and killing by the overseers with Impunity. This trafficking ln Chinese coolies was worse than any form ot slavery known to the Chinese. Slavery was too mild a term tor It, so our forefathers called the victim ot this trade the "chu tsal," or suckling pigs. The "chu tsai" Is In a worse position than the slave, (or It the slave Is laborious and obedient he has hope of good treatment and the compassion of his master, but tor the "chu tsal" there glimmers no such hope. However, In those dark days of labor exploitation, the "chu tsal" trader would not be willing to sell his own slaves to become laborers abroad, but he kidnapped and enticed those for whom he had no sympathy whatsoever. In the eyes of the Chinese this Is characteristic of Japan today, tor Japan has more consideration for Korea and Formosa than she has for China, for whom she holds out no single vestige of pity except to gain and reap whatever profits she can get out of China. And yet tor such treatment Japan expects from China no resentment! It what has befallen China in this recent war be taken as a precedent, then whenever a war occurs In the future Japan can force us to Join while Bhe herself watches by and enjoys the fruits thereof, This Is Blmply treating China as her "poached pig." The Macao "pig poachers" only sold their "pigs" and pocketed the money from the foreign buyers. Japan, by ordering China to Join the Entente in the European war, received Ike three groups of islands in the Pacific. But not contented with this, Japan snatched from us Shantung, the most precious and sacred of the eighteen provinces. This may be compared to the action of a I pig poacher who after selling the pig, pockets the money, and sneaklngly cuts off for himself a huge slice of flesh from the live animal. Is It to be wondered that bitter indeed are China's feelings toward Japan? Japanese pologlstB base Japan's claim on Tsingtau as by right of conquest. If so, why did not Japan openly and fearlessly demand from the Entente Powers the right to Shantung when her army took Tsingtau, instead of underhandedly and secretly concluding a treaty with the latter when China Joined the European war, by which Shantung is given to Japan as compensation for countenancing China's participation ln the war on the side of the Allies China Is not yet even a colony of Japan, but the Japanese Government has virtually exercised the power of veto over China's movements and thus gained rewards from the Entente Powers. Is not this the act of selling China as her "chu tsal"? The conflict of two distinct Ideas brought about the European war, the idea of world domination and the idea of self-determination of peoples. The American, and British troops recaptured from Geremany innumerable famous cities and historic towns in Europe which aggregated a hundred times larger than Tsingtau ,and their sacrifices and sufferings were a million times greater than those of the Japanese; yet every Inch of these lands was restored by them to the rightful owners. If Japan entered the European war on the side of nations opposed to conquests, how could she demand the succession of German aggrandizement in China? Borne have said that since China has not achieved much for the Allied cause she should not covet Japan's laurels. It is true that China cannot claim the laurels and glory ln the Allied victory, but be it noted that the Poles and Czechs accomplished very little in the war; yet their territories which were conquered by Austria and Germany over a hundred years ago, were returned to them. Denmark remained throughout the war a neutral country. She had not lifted a hand to support the Allies; nevertheless, her territories which were captured by Germany sixty years ago, are being restored to her. Is It not, therefore, reasonable and just tor China to expect the unconditional restoration of Tsingtau? While the Japanese are constantly advocating closer relationships between China and Japan on account of racial, affinity and common literature, their treatment of China ls far Inferior to the treatment accorded her by thej| Americans and the Europeans. How could you, then, expect the Chinese not to unite as one man to resist you and to adopt the policy of making friends with those afar and fight those near by and, it necessary, to drag you to a common ruin? Thus the succession to German rights in Shantung Is a prelude to the succession ot Germany's downfall. If you mean what you profess, and are sincere in desiring the friendship of the Chinese people, you should force your Government to repent and abandon for all times the policy of making China the victim of your territorial expansion. Unless that Is done there will be no peace in the Far East. SUN WEN. Shanghai, June 1G, 19111. Increase In Hate of Interest.
