Except. for 15,000,000 lost in one night in the wreck of lhe Titanic, the lossess since Christmas are stuted by underwriters to be the heaviest ■since February, 1899, when 14' vessels bound from America to England foundered In about a week. In tht- present period one day's losses at Lloyd's amounted to about 12,500,000. Thirty vessels have already been hopelessly wrecked while seven more are reported missing.

Men have been' known to starve to death while their cases are being properly card-Indexed -by charity. societies. Within less than a week of the coming into effect of the Insurance act three citizens of London died while taking advantage' of Lloyd George's bcneflts, The trouble seems to have been due to a combination of card indexing, over work or carelessness. II may be that when all England Is properly indexed the death rate will diminish ahd it Is to. be hoped the majority of physicians will not think that sickness is to be" lightly considered when a patient comes under the Insurance act, but observation of the cot-tract indicates that bureaucratic doctoring Is not particularly conducts the health of the nation. EUROPEAN COAL TRADE British coal exports to Italy are undoubtedly decreasing. Whereas in 1910 Germany exported only 169,000 tons to Italy, she sent 412,000 tons in 1011, and last year,. January-August, ,000 tons; while the United States In the same latter period sent 50,000 tons; France, 106,000 tons, and Austria-Hungary, 154,000 tons, the principal destination being undoubtedly Northern Italy, where the frontier countries have the benefit of direct railway communication, Great Britain in January-August 1912, has sent Italy only 5,244,600 tons, against 5,386,400 in the- same period last year. The small Improvement ln the output of coal In India which took place In 1910 was well maintained during 1911, the output having risen.from 12,* 047,413 tons to 12,715,534 tons—a figure very much.higher than that reach* ed in any year except .1908, Concur rently there has heen a general fall in pit's mouth value In most of the pro* inces.

TAXATION TOO HIGH AUTOMOBILES TOO FEW (By Daily News Leased Wire.) BERLIN, Jan. 27.—Prince Henry of Prussia Is disturbed by the comparative scarcity of automobiles In Germany. He made the comparison this week that England had one. automobile for every 24S people and France one for every 441, while Oermany had one for every 927 only. In his opinion this Is largely due to excessive taxation in Oermany and he remarked that 11 years ago he had warned the Prussian minister of finance against too heavy taxation. The matter Is Important .from the military point of view aa In case of war the country able to requisition the most automobiles would reap.-a decided ad* vantage from that, fact CLOSE FIGHT IN __■ fifLONDONDERRY Voters Come From America to Cast Their Balots—Government to Control Rifle Clubs (By Dallv News leased Wire.) LONDON, Jan. 2T.—Voting in Londonderry to fill the seat vacated by the succession of the Marquis of Hamilton to the* Dukedom of Abercorn takes place next Thursday and the parties ure so nearly even that voters are being brought hack from America by both sides. One nationalist arrived this week from the United States having started by the first steamer on hearing of the death of the duke. Death, however, continues to disturb the calculations of electioneers for It has been the fate of Nationalists tu suffer the loss of another voter this week, the morality account now standing four Nationalists to two Union Ists. It has been a thing in former lections not only to remove -recent gravestones In cemeteries but for voters brazenly to impersonate their own well-known ancestors long since gone. The aged and the infirm among the electors are also being sedulously nursed In the interest of home rule or union and if there la life ln the voter at all on the day of the poll he Is regarded as effective. At overy election In Derry the bringing of sick and crippled electors to the booths on stretchers or tn ambulance Vans is a familiar spectacle. Everything- points to an exhaustive poll. It Is estimated now that there Is only a difference of nine for the Unionists In voting strength of the parties on the register. The talk so. far indulged In of rebellion ln Ulster if the Home Rule bill passes has resulted In rules being adopted by the government for the control of miniature rifle clubs. These rules will give the government an opportunity of denying the right to carry arms to Irishmen who now at present have that privilege . through their membership in rifle clubs. ' Another Irish parliamentary vacancy has occurred through.the death of P. J. Power, M. P., tor Bast Waterford, but as it Is doubtful If there are aa many as the odd 216 Unionists in. the electorate of 4216 ln that constituency, there will, of course, be no contest. CLEMENCEAU ON ALCOHOL M. Clemenceau has written the preface to a pamphlet entitled "Alcohol; a general economic study; its bearings upon Agriculture, Commerce, Legislation- Taxation and individual and social Hygiene," which has been laid before the Paris Academy of Medicine. M. Clemenceau,. like the author of the' pamphlet, finds It deplorable that the "omnipotent authority" of the. state should seem to be powerless against "the most formidable enemy of social peace, of general welfare, and of the rise of the humbler classes to a higher life/' He ridicules existing remedies, which consist in taking drunken men to the police office or placarding the Inside of public houses with prohibition of drunkenness, while all the time the laws of France relating to the m ufacture and sale of the most deleterious kinds of spirit contribute to foster this particular vice. "Today," 11. Clemenceau continues, "it Is beginning to be understood that the right to poison people cannot properly be re ■garded as one of the achievements of tne French revolution. Universal suffrage would really put itself out of court If it had only succeeded In emancipating Itself from the yoke of a single tyrant in order to fall under the sway of a league of private interests which are in open warfare with the public interest All well-intentioned men, without distinction of party, ought to join In a common effort for the salvation o four'country, which Is menaced from so many directions at once." Professor pebove, who presented the pamphlet to the Academy of Medicine, thanked the author, and congratulated M. Clemenceau on his courageous and patriotic preface, which was in contrast with the attitude of so many of the French legislators, whose motto, he said, seemed to be "the fear of the publican Is the beginning of wisdom," •FOYALI8T 8TAMP3 | The French postmaster-general has Issued an order warning postmasters all over the country against a new- form of seditious propaganda. During the last few weeks a quantity of stemos have been issued by the friends of the Duke of Orleans bearing his portrait. Others have caricatures of M. Fallieres, or of the Phyrgian-capped figure of the French republic. These little stamps,' which have been ' distributed by the hundred thousand, bear- the Inscription: "Long live the King!" or "A bas la Gueuse!" and others have the Royalist device: "Dieu 'Protege la France." The government considers their circulation dangerous to the. republic, and M. Chaumet has suppressed them by a very simple method. Postmasters all over the country have orders not to deliver let-: 1 ters on which these stamps are fixed, but to return them to the sender. It Is not quite certain that this arbitrary proceeding Is legal, for the French law says.nothing about politics on envelopes, So the supporters of the King and the royalist newspapers are raising a great,uproar about the suppression of their letters'. Meanwhile, however, as the most ardent royalist does not car to endanger the delivery of his correspondence, the stamps , are circulating far less freely than they did.

FRENCH DECORATIONS A man of figures has had the curiosity to ■ compile statistics of (he decorations of France, and of the num b-ir of people who habitually wear orders. The figures are a little startling. There are 66 different French orders and they* are worn by no less than 1,* 700,000 Frenchmen and Frenchwomen. Pushing the calculations a little fur ther, lt is found, that one Frenchman In every 21 wears a decoration of some kind, without counting the foreign decorations which are worn* very freely. Of the French decorations, the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor Is the most difficult to got owing to the fact that Its possession brings certain material advantages with lt The other two pet decorations, the violet Palmes Academiques, and the bright green Merlte Agricole, are given very freely, and are used as an easy method of canvassing fer votes by the The Quickest, Simplest Cough Cure Easily And Cheaply Made'** Home.

For the plain little medal; the ribbon of which is red, white and, blue, corresponds to the English Victoria.Cross. FIFTY BIGGEST POTATOES ■ ■ .-' '' ■■■ ' i A curious -thing to give a prise for according to our thinking, is a big potato,, but such Is the custom at the; land show, and this year no territory had a walkover by any means, for, three Long Islanders were In It and two Long islanders came in second, and third ln a warm contest. Some one way out in Idaho sent ln what they called the Idaho Rurals, and they; weighed 82% lbs. Several of the Ida*, ho potatoes had enough second growth' lumps on them to make them look like a stump of burned-over oak tree. Long- Island beat out*a number of other. Idaho competitors, and several from other points In the far west as well: as those nearer home. These western big potatoes are. mainly due to heavy, and continuous Irrigation, and are of small value Indeed, except as monstrosities. We have no doubt that many a Long Island farmer would* have found 60 potatoes ln his field, that would have covered .the needed, j tlve pounds to heat the winner, and 'besides been far smoother.and more' like the real thing,-—Long Island Agronomist. -,'i Dally News Want Ads 1 Cent • Wei-a\ '"- TUESDAY .......

WHAT WILL BE THE ANSWER? Today will decide the most important school board election which lias ever taken place in Nelson. The issue is clear-,cut and unmistakable, whether the affairs of the schools are to be run on business lines by the full board of trustees elected for that purpose or whether they are to continue to be run by the secretary, who happens als6 to J).' a trustee, and by what other members of the board he chooses to coll to his assistance. In other words the secretary has undertaken to say which of the trustees chosen by the people shall be nllowod to discharge the duties of the positions to which ■ttoy were elected. It is -almost inconceivable that a matt, in this supposed to be enlightened age should take such a stand, but Dr. E. C. Arthur, secretary of the Nelson school board Is so on record, net once but several times. Ho has nseumed and has maintained, with the assistance of his adherents on the board, this position for some years, but particularly during the past two yenrsa His attitude in this mntter Is one that It Is hard to see how the electors can support, were, there no complaints about the way in which school nffairs hnve been run. But there are. There have In some cases been the most glar- llts- departures from .businesslike admin ist.iin tion, nepotism has flourished and thore has come about a complete demoralisation of discipline among the stuff, to the detriment of the interests of the children In attendance at the schoolS. Tlie movement for a change has beffn 0*1 foot for some time and culminated this year in the placing in the field of throe candidates pledged to reform in the adml nls trai ion of school I affairs. These candidates Dr. Arthur, his friends and a certain element of the teaching staff and their friends arc -opposing by every means in their power, fair or foul. It Is. only natural that Dr. Arthur should oppose cnj-didfUes whose avowed policy is tht* wresting of absolute power in the city school affairs from his hands and tbe administration of school affairs on business lines, but why, it may be asked ave teachers out canvassing and working against them? Why do these teachers desire a continuance of Dr. Arthur's absolute rule and disregard ot business principles? This question evory elector should ask himself, or ht-rself^ ns the case may be,- when voting today. It was well known from the start that the campaign would be a strenuous one, but the Daily News had ..oped it would be a fair one. It, there!* ivo, regrets'lo learn that within the past few days a campaign of the gros-ienl kind of misrepresentation has been icftorted to in order to defeat, if jtw* sii-le, one of tiie reform Candida:?-;, Dr. Jones. Words have been Dialed In her mouth that she never uttered and on the strength of these a dls- grcceful attempt is being made to stir up n section of the community to v.ue bodily against her. The Daily News lin a too much faith in the good eense of the people of Nelson including :he six-tion of the community referred lo, tu suppose that this attempt would .succeed, but it servos lo show the lengths to which the old regime ir, prepared io go in order to prevent the ■Ir.treduction of government bv people Into the administration of school affairs and tlie application of business principles in the work of ihe br-atd.

This Dag in Canadian History Upon this day in the year 1S70 the iron fleiew steamer, the City of Boston, Of ■the Innian line, left Halifax for Liverpool, Tlie vitsJ-Pl wus ship-rU-mod, and «. had seven water-tight compartments, but was very small compared to the ocean-going monsters of today, having only a gross tonnage of 2,tiJ3. BuUt at Glasgow in 1X15, she had cost XSUWO, but wns only insured for £20,000. Hor crew numbered 86 men, in charge of Captain Joseph Halerbw, who had been for nine years in the service of the company. On her outward voyage from Liverpool she had lost one of her propellers, but had been repaired In New York. She carried a miscellaneous cargo of cotton, copper ore, wheat, beef and other farm produce from X-tw'York, and on arriving at Halifax took on board the malls and a number of passengers. She steamed out of Halifax harbor nt noon on the following day (January 28), and was never afterwards heard of; though reiterated reports of her arrival in England reached the city, and the relations of those on board suffered heart-rending alternations of despair und -hope—hope nnd despair. With the vessel 200 souls went down; and Halifax, it Is said, lost some of her best men. Cold Storage "I was a fool when I married you!" "Yes, and you married a fool!"—Houston Bost.

REPUTATION OF CANADA SOILED (Continued from pago one.) objection to the production of the papers. He reminded Sir. Lemieux that the government of which he had beeii a member had given a bonus to this railway and assured him that no applications had yet been made for a guarantee of its bonds. Ron. L. P.'Pelletler said Mr. Lemieux had stated that the county ol Charlevoix was a barren county. He did not consider this a fair statement. He had been told the line was almost finished and could be completed for about $700,000. In moving for the papers In connection with the establishment of La Hantpie Internationale du Canada, Mr, Lemieux said that prior to the defeut of the.late government, a bill was introduced for the incorporation of La TJnnque du Canada. Objection was taken by members of the government to the proposed name as one likely to create the impression abroad that tii proposed hank was a national institutional- Objection was also made that foreigners who were looked to as pro- yiifiers of much of the capital of the hank were in ignorance of the double hiliilily provision. Further, he said, the government was suspicious of the name of one gentleman who appeared aa a shareholder to the amount of 52,000.000, a gentleman who had heen stepped from running a. lottery ln Montreal. Eventually, the application for a certificate for the bank was re- fi.Fed. On the present government tak- it!} office, however, a license was ls- si.rd, though Mr. Lemieux expressed the opinion that Hon. W. tf. White had not heen famllinr with tho details of th" matter or he would not have al lowed the certificate to be issued. Mr. Lemieux drew attention to an agreement entered into by Canadian shareholders of the bank and the manager of the institution by whieh the shares were noolcd for 18 months with tho right given to the manager to dls-- nose of them'at any time during that period at an advance of nt least $10 PC) share. This, he said, was nothing more nor less than a huge speculation. Under the agreement the Canadian shareholders made at least 100 per ant profit since they paid but 10 per cent on their stock with practically a guarantee against future calls. The Investors in France, however, knew ncthlng of this arrangement, though they had subscribed $10,000,000 of the capital against $2,000,000 subscribed In Canada. Mr. Lemieux went on to draw dttontlon to the proceedings at the anneal meeting of tbe bnnk in Montreal in September last. The French stock- hc'ider.?. he said, sent two representatives and a young Canadian lawyer to appear on their behalf at the meeting. They held proxies for the $5,000,000 of Stcek held in France, but they were iK! allowed to take any uart In the proceedings; -Indeed, they -were forcibly ejected from the mooting. There were, ho continued, some ugly rumors afloat in regard to the management of thr, bank after the general meeting. The, prospectus of the institution hud staled that there were to be no com missions,paid on the stock sales, hut a note for $200,000, had been discounted in favor of the former lottery man, an amount equal to 10 per cent on h-U stick. This, Mr. Lemieux stilted, had been done without the knowledge of the directors and tho Amount appeared in the returns to tlie government as u current loan. Hon. "Air. Coderre asked for the name of this man, and as to whether or not h" wii8.ii French stockholder, Mr, Lemieux replied that the name was, J. It. O. Dnonst. He hod been living in I'nris for some years, but since the French government had started invos- ti-nllng the bank matter he had returned to Montreal, Speaking after..recess Mr. L*omleux elulmed that Hon. W. S, Fielding hnd i-eiused to issue h certificate* to this Wink and was quite warranted'in so dolpg. He then referred to the re-- pert that La ijanque International du Canada is to lie umaigamated with the Home Hank of Toronto and called upon the minister of finance to conduct n.- thorough Inquiry into tiie* offnirs of the former bank before permitting a nu-i ger to take place. Hoh. W. T. White, in reply said that Mr. Lemieux had made some serious en** grave charges with regard to the Incorporation and administration of this bank. As n member of parlia- mtnt' and member of a former government .he was fully aware of his responsibility in tbe matter. As for himself he hoped to speak with restraint because he was sneaking of one uf Canada's financial institutions and In discussing such matters reckles.-] statements should not lie it uie. Mr. White tben remarked with some warmth thnt while he did not propose to accuse Mr. Lemieux of making tt deliberate false statement in rs-Jfard to the Incorporation of the bank be wiuld prove thnt cue ex-minister had i.-aeii guilty of a reckless statement wh.'cti Is untrue. Mr. Lemieux hag stated that Mr. Fielding had declined to issue a certificate to tills bank. "I deny this absolutely and will prove that Mr. Fielding did not refuse the certificate," declared Mrr. White. The bank , act provides that a new bank must have half a million of pflidup capital. The capitalization of La Internationale I.Unciuo du Canada was ten millions, on which 10 per cent or $936,000 had been paid. The subscriptions were bona fide and included men on both sides of the house. No treasury board would be justified in refusing an application backed in this way providing alt the provisions of the act were complied with. LONG SESSION IS ANTICIPATED Little Business Accomplished up to Present—Long Debate Probable on Bank Bill (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

Mc. A\ nlte In declaring against the government inspection Is taking the same stand as did Air. Fielding, who in thut position was hacked up by liis party. Tiie delay In going ahead with the bill suggests to some the possibility of some umenumcuis being accepted, hut If this is to be, nothing has yet b-een arranged. It is known, However, that certain groups have conferred and that those opposed to the bill are very determined in their stand. The measure seems likely ot be uuoated in length before the second reading passes and also in committee of the tvuoie, inasmuch ns many who Would reform the measure are not on tl.e banning committee. The lutter is composed largely of lawyers, financiers and unsiness men, who aro more likely to favor me urn in its present form tiiun otnurwiso.

Merkhuger, Waterloo, Out., enthusiastically recommends Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets. Her experience with them, as she outlines it, explains why. "I was greatly troubled with my stomach", she writes. "I had taken so much medicine that I might say to take any more would only be making it worse. My stomach just felt raw. I read of Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablcts, and a lady friend told me they were very easy to take, so I thought I would give them a trial and r< all y tliey worked wonders. Anyone having anything wrong with his stomach should give Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets a trial, they will do the rest. My stomach is fine now and I can eat any food." One of the many good features of Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets is that they are so pleasant and easy to take. The relief they give from heartburn, flatulence, biliousness aud dyspepsia is prompt and permanent. Try one after each meal—they'll make you feel like a new person. 50c, a box at your druggist's compounded by the National Drug and Chemical Co. of Canada, Limited, Montreal. 143 TO^BREAK OFF NEGOTIATIONS (Continued from Dace one.) rianopie thjui without it, as the pre sent war proves, for 11 whole army Is iu,w immobilized inside that fortress.

LONDON VIEW OF DELICATESSEN You have to pay 10 cents In New York for a chicken sandwich, and then it Is usually made of turkey. You pay five cents for a ham sandwich, and then you have no idea what it is made of. 1 was in the delicatessen' trade in New York for three weeks— und I have my suspicions. For 25 cents you can have a club sandwich. That is made of toast and chicken, turkey and bacon, all hot and very good. It is well worth Lhe extra expense, because the smell of the bacon disguises that of the chicken. Ame'rg can bacon 'Is not good. It is nearly- always sold in glass bottles, as we xeil jam, whieh prevents its getting away. Personally, I prefer Its flavor to that of their chicken, because I was In a hospital once nnd I hate being reminded of it. There are as many delicatessen stores in New York as there are wineshops in Furls, or tailors In the city oi London. -To millions of good Nevy Yorkers the must dazzling kind of orgy Is to spend tiie evening' in a clnenui theatre, whieh costs five cents, and then go to a delicatessen store and have a ham' sandwich. For the rest of the week they live upon dill pickles! Dill pickles are what We call ghcrklnsi and they are far and away the most popular food in New York. You can. get one for a cent; a really big nnd juicy one,, which will do you for breakfast with a bit over for lunch, cosaj two cents. The people of New Yorg are simple and lung-suffering; the ex-; Isience of the delicatessen store is the proof of it.

NEW YORK MARKET IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION :(By Dally News Leased Wire.) -NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Speculatlve Interest was'' at low ebb today and the Sock market was virtually In a state ! suspended animation. The ticket wns silent for minutes at a time and fluctuations were so narrow that the trade for ths day possessed little significance. Recessions among Americans in London In- fienccd the home market at the open- C-and International stocks were slight- dealt In. Losses were made up and ring most of the day the list held steady at around Saturday's close. In tne afternoon a heavier tone developed, out offerings were small and the greater liart 'of the active issues ended the session.'with only fractional changes. The ' ;treme dullness of the market during ie day was attributed to uncertainty ,'hether the supreme court would hand Jowh today Its long-awaited decision In the Minnesota rate case. There is no Ihtretise In activity later such as on other recent "decision days" has followed announcement from Washington that this decision would not be made known. The Minnesota decision is but one of the events now hanging over the market which make for a waiting attitude on the part of traders. The outcome of peace negotiations In London and tho solution which lias arisen from the efforts to dissolve the Harrlman merger, will be of direct influence upon tlie securities market. The extent of the reductions* to be made In the tariff and the fate of the proposed measures for er forced changes In the stock market and banking methods are (.■■.her questions which remain unanswered and act as a drag on speculation. With no new li-centlvu for- trading on1 either side of the market operators were content for the time to do little and await a more ut-tiinti: lead. There was a slightly firmer tone in the money market and a correspondingly easier tendency in the foreign exchange rates.

CHINAlCOMPELLED_ TOTAKE OPIUM REGULATION OF STOCK EXCHANGES Governor Sulzer Recommends Enactment of Laws to Prevent Fleecing of Public (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 27.-State supervision and regulation by tho New York stock exchange and other- stock ex- chanses are advocated by Governor Sulzer In a message sent by him to the legislature tonight. The time is ripe, in tlie governor's opinion, for the state to ■step in and "end flagrant abuses, shifty -"■-i.-ii-i-rs and clever combinations to catch the unwary and to mislead the public." To effect tills he recommends the enactment of a group of laws, at least one of which shall provide imprisonment as a penalty for Its vlolutlon. These laws, the governor says, should apply to certain conditions Which have been shown to exist. "The testimony of some of the governors of the exchange," Governor Suljser snys, "leaves no doubt in the minds of men of Judgment that the ex- changes have been rather incapable or unwilling to devise measures that will eradicate the evils. It Is now the obvious duty of the state, it seems to me, to devise tne remedies. Tiie state means to do its plain duty; the state should find no fault If the federal government acts In the premises." Among the measures which tbe governor would have enacted into law are: A law to distinguish olearly proper transaeilons of purchase and sale from those that are the result of comhliut- tlons to raise or depress artificially the price of securities without regard to their value or legitimate supply and demand; a law to prohibit brokers from selling backward and forward among themselves blocks of a particular stock with Intent to deceive or mislead outsiders. A law to prohlMt brokers from selling for their own account the same slocks they have been ordered to 1-uv for their customers at tlie time the customers' orders are executed. A law clearly prohibiting insolvent brokers from continuing to buy or sell after they become Insolvent. A law making it a criminal offense "to Issue any statement or publish any advcrtlsi-mi-n't as to tho value of any stock'or other security or as to the financial condition of any corporation Issuing or about lu issue stock or securities, where any promise or prediction contained in such statement or advertisement Is known to be false or ot be not fairly Justified hy existing conditions. Governor Sulzer also recommend.1*, hut leaves to the legislature for di-Hslon, changes In existing laws-and-the enactment of new laws governing uT.ort sales, the hypothecation of securities, bucket shops, UBury {under which head he classes the raising of call money rates to moro than six per cent).

Hc said that In the United States deposits flowed freely from the western states to New York right up to the end of Juno and irom .Itinc were withdrawn ngaln continuously right up to the middle of December. Loans, he -said, showed a similar move ment. New security Issues of the year 1912, amounted to $2,300,000,000, according to Sir Edward, and It mlghi be taken that the Increase of gold would be about seven per cent of the increase of liabilities. In Cnnada conditions are much the same as in other countries. Referring to the money situation in England Sir Edward sal-; that while trade boomed, money had been dearer. The rate bad been higher In order to protect the gold re serve, yet the proportion at reserve gold to liabilities was 8% per cent lower than last year.

New Designs for Pleasure Craft That Could be Converted to War Needs (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) LONDON, Jan. 27.—Tlio Brlusn naval authorities .have now under consideration the question of using privately owned motor boats and yachts In time of war, nnd the statement is made that these craft will be given auxiliary places in he scheme ol! coast defense. In many places on the coasts ■*»-£ the British Isles the admiralty is constructing oil reservoirs anu a company of motor yacht experts* with Sir Frederick Inglefleld us chairman, has been appointed to inquire into the uses to which motor boats could be put In war times. No suggestion has been made or ii 'likely to be made that any of the existing motor pleasure craft cou-d used for offensive purposes in time of war, but there Is a Well founded belief that many of the existing boats suitably equipped and placed In the hands of naval crews could be deputized for torpedo craft In patrol work In creeks und estuaries. Tills would free for higher tactical work many small craft that under present arrangements are bound to cruise within strictly limited wr.ters. It-is believed that In the event uf the admiralty offering a subsidy to craft that can be coiweried from pleasure to, war purposes at short notice there are numerous wealthy motor yachtsmen who will be willing to full In with the requiremontB. 'Realizing this feeling and anticipating the government's awakening to the possiolll- ties of the motor boat, "the Motor Ship nrd Motor Boat" recently published from the pens of experts some details of new typo of motor craft that might in peace times prove a handsome aud comfortable cruising vessel, yet in times of a crisis be transformed at short notice into a useful unit for coast defence. This vessel, known as a torpedo yacht, will-be 100 feet In length, have a beam of 14 feet, a draft of four feet and a speed of 20 knots. The engines would be of a type using heavy oil, and of such power in proportion to the capacity of the oil tanks that a run of 1000 miles could be conducted at full speed without replenishment. In peace time this vessel would provide eight cabins of nine berths for the owner and his friends and accommodation for ward for the skipper ,two engineers, one deck hand, a cook and a boy. In war times similar accommodation would be available to thut found on destroyers. In war times simple but effective transformations would be made. The salon amidships would be removed, and its place taken.by the mountings of a 12-pounder, quick firing gun. Extra boats would also be carried oh, deck, to meet the admiralty requirements. Aft the deck house would be mounted a 12-lnch torpedo tube capable of discharging a torpedo with an effective radius of two miles. Two spare torpedoes, would be carried on deck. Such a boat.would have a keel of similar strength to that of the existing torpedo boats and would have the' distinct advantage of boing able to patrol and maneouvcr ln shallower waters. The British coast defence destroyers of the Gadfly class have ex tremo length of 166 feet and a draft of six feet. The torpedo yacht has a draft of only four net. kootenay and boundary news Annual meeting of cranbrook Presbyterian church (Special'to Tho Daily New--.) CRANBROOK, B.

Every morning she makes' a good breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten Just as It comes from the package with cream or milk added; and then again the same at supper, and the change In her Is wonderful.
