Li iNDuN, Dec. 5.—King George signed the proclamation prohibiting the Importation uf arms and ammunition Into Ireland, which was issued here tuday, at the meeting uf the privy council yesterday, Tbls step Is taken lu counteract the activities of lho Dl- ater volunteers, whu have fur some time heen drilling With a view uf op- puslng Irish government, should home rule roi* Ireland become law. The ducuineiiL is based on the provisions uf tbc Customs Consolidation act uf 1870 Instead of thosu of the Irish Crimes act, as had been expected. Tbe unly reason given in flic pro- (nmatlpn for taking this step is the Statement. "'Whereas It is expedient tit the importation into Ireland of ins and animiiniliun nnd other goods hereinafter mentioned should be prohibited, Uierefure,** etc. iimaliuii specifies all articles intended for or capable of be-' 'd fur military purposes, but exempts arms and explusivcs designed solely fur .sporting ur mining uses. Too Late. Tbo comment of the Ulster leaders is to the effect that. t.lu> Kinn's proclamation comes loo late. They say they have 80,001' serviceable rifles, halt ofl them finite modern weapons, and 500,-1 ooo rounds of ammunition in the possession of the instor.it.es. They also argued that It. Is easier to issue a proclamation than to prevent, continued secret, impurtuiion of riflea. They say there Is nothing to delay the starting of a gun factory in .Belfast, that the proclamation gives no TioWer tn search fur arms, a"d the government's belated action will serve no purpose beyond the making of the blunder of admitting of tlie seriousness of the situation In Ulster, Sir Edward Carson, in an interview al, Nottingham, said itlie proclamation was too late. He added Hint It would make no difference, but. that it WolUd put. to an end the Liberal taunts about wooden guns and lho. like. Tho British cabinet, by 'the royal proclamation promulgated tonight, for ho first time grasped t.h(. nettle of the revolution* iu Ulster, which it iiad hitherto ignored, although tho rollow- rs of Sir lOdward Carson for months hail been advertising tlieir military preparations in every possible way and daring Interference wilth them.

Tlie game ended with Ihe score at: Nelson, 48; Rossland, ti. This, however, did not daunt the Rossland teams thnt followed, as fn Ihe remaining games hut very few points were to choose between tbe teams when lime was called.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6 PROGRESS MUST CONTINUE. The decision of Sir Richard McBride and his colleagues to allow no curtailment in the program of public worka, and by the Issue of treasury hills in London, to take an important step toward relieving any temporary financial stringency, will lie universally commended. It is a course similar to that which has been wisely adopted hy the government, at Ottawa. Hon. W. T. White,, milliliter of finance, is credited, says the Toronto World, with the design of making large expenditures upon public works throughout the Dominion, even though It should be necessary for that purpose to borrow considerable money upon the credit of tlie Dominion. The correspondents who profess to know the mind of the finance minister recall his budget speech of last session, wherein he declared that in times of financial stringency the government of a, country should spend with lavish hand. If expenditures tire increased in the face of a falling revenue, the credit of the national government must be used to some extent. The expenditures made in various parts of the country upon the construction of public works would give employment to laihor and distribute a great deal Suffered Seven Years. Itching and Burning.

This money would find its way through the merchants to the banks and tend to relieve the general financial situation. It is a device to whicli all governments have from time to tlme resorted, and its ultimate benefit must of course largely depend upon the utility and productive character of the undertakings in which the money is Invested. In a country -where so much la needed for proper development in the way of construction, the .Investment in public works could and should be profitable to the nation over and above the immediate relief afforded by increasing the demand for lahor and many kinds of material. Secretary McAdoo faces *; slmilai problem. He fears a tight money sit nation, partly occasioned by the determination of the government to decentralize the bank reserves ol tho country. He has therefore announced that the large reserves of the government will be made available for the relief of the hanks by issuing currency and lending money to the lianks upon prime commercial paper. The smaller banks will be assisted in becoming stockholders of the regional banks and in maintaining tlieir reserves by what is virtually an extension system of re- discounting along lines which will become permanent when ithe currency bill now before congress is enacted. Mr. McAdoo largely assisted the bank;- in lhe south and west during the crop- moving period, and has extended 'thi time In which tlie advances ahead*, made to them by the governmeni must be repaid. WHAT IS IMPURE AIR? Tho Smithsonian Institution lias recently published a revolutionary memoir iby Prof. Leonard Hill ami several collaborators, entitled "The Influence of the Atmosphere on Our Health and Comfort in Confined and Crowded Places." A main purpose of the memoir, says the Scientific American, Ib to show that the chemical quality of ithe air in crowded and stuffy rooms has nothing to do with Its 111 effects, and that, apart from the influence of infecting bacteria, the ventilation problem is essentially one of the temperature, relative humidity and movement of the air. The ordinary tests of air for carbon dioxide are declared to be worthless. The. percentage of carbon dioxide in the worst ventilated room does not rise above 0.1> or, at most, 1 per cent. whereas tlie normal concentration ot carbon dioxide in tlie lungs is from 5 to (I per cent of an atmosphere The writers adduce a great number of experiments and observations to prove that percentages regarded aa deleterious or deadly by hyglenists are quite harmless. They claim that it Is also a fallacy to assume that a diminished amount of oxygen Is harmful. At noted health resorts in the Alps tiie barometer stands at such a height that the concentration of oxygen Is far less than In the most ill- ventilated room. One unfortunate result of this fallacy is that the laws regarding ventilation of mines insist on a high ■percentage of oxygen, and thereby increase the danger of mine explosions. Finally, the widespread belief in the presence of an organic poison In expired air its equally erroneous. Tlie smells of crowded rooms and tlie like are no indication that the air Is deleterious. "The deaths in the Black Hole of Calcutta, the depression, headache, etc., in close rooms, are alike due to heat stagnation; the victims of tlie Black Mole i(.ed of bent-stroke."

C, Bee. 5.—A London despatch announces the sale of £ 310,000 of British Columbia six months treasury bills, bearing 5 per cent Interest. Interviewed in respect thereto Sir .Richard McBride said: "The provincial government has sold £310,000 of six months treasury notes bearing 5 per cent interest in London at par. In view of the fact that th-e British government paid 4 3-4 per cent interest on a recent issue of treasury notes the success attending the British Columbia issue, which was taken up with the greatest promptness, shows beyond contradiction how high our credit stands in the money murket. Very naturally the public will ask why the necessity arose for ihe issue o,f tlieee Mils. It Is t-he," practice of all governments to put out treasury bills for temporary purposes. The British government very frequently does so, and tlie Dominion government has done so on several occasions, Such bills are Issued in anticipation of revenue and' It has been deemed advisable to follow BUeh a course here. As everyone knows, the province began the ifiscal year with u large amount, to Its credit In the bank, but with -i program Intended to exhaust the greater part of it. This program lias been carried out. The government felt that in view of the Interruption of municipal and other work due to the financial stringency it was not desirable to curtail tlie expenditure In any way and thereby add to embarrassment arising ont of tho general depression. I have not the exact flgureB before me. but tbe total expenditure on public works since the beginning of tlie fiscal yeai will probably be found to be somewhere between $8,000,000 and $0,000,- 000, a truly enormous amount for a province of 500,000 people and equal to what the Dominion was expending only n few years ago. This expenditure has not exhausted the bank balance, for the province has yet a very substantial sum to Its credit. Certain largo payments must, however, be met after the new year opeii3 and thei*c are several large sums that will then be pnyable to the province, but iu oiticj* that every bill may be met promptly it seemed a good business policy to make a temporary loan. The receipts on account of extraordinary revenue have not been what was expected, owing to causes that bave affected all lines of business, and the government had three courses open One was to curtail expenditure and thus accentuate the general depression, another was to force the collection of sums due the province and thereby embarrass many people, the third was to proceed with the full program of public works and make a small temporary loan to cover possible deficiencies In the revenue. The latter course,was adopted, and 1 think the public will concede that it waB the wjsest course of the three. "I may add that the province has tied up in the former Songhees and Kltsllano reserves a sum equal to the Issue of treasury bills. It lias also a very large amount of accounts receivable, ontBttinding at li per cent interest. Under all these circumstances we thought It was wise to issue treasury bills rather than force the collec- lectlon of debts payable nnd thereby have precipitated results which in l IF YOU ARE LtNERVOUS " or worried or vexed at trifles, your vital forces are slowly but surely deteriorating.

Chairman Drayton interrupted to Btate that It was almost Impossible to draw any definite conclusions for these figures. Other statements submitted were to the effect that tonnage east and west was approximately the same, but that rates were higher ln the west. Mr. Whitla: Well, wbat I desire to emphasize more particularly ls that the difference in the earnings In the west Is out of all proportion to the difference in the earnings between the east and the west. This Is due to the fact that in 1911 the average earnings per ton mile in the west was $1.20 per mile, as compared with 83 cents on the eastern divisions. Mr. Whitla then went on to deal more specifically with the difference In the rates Charged in the east and west. He said that a comparison of these show that on distances from 50 miles to 550 miles rates are from 9 to 89 per cent higher In the west than ln the east. On grain and grain products, on distances from 100 to '.00 miles, rates on the western divisions are higher by 143 to 191 per cent than those charged east of Sudbury. Correspondingly heavy spreads as between western and eastern rates wero shown on cement, coal, live stock, wire fencing, etc. The rates on tho wire fencing on distances from 91 to 1100 miles were shown by the figures submitted by Mr. Whitla to ,be from 39 to 159 per cent higher in tbe west than In the east. He submitted that these rates were charged for the performance of the same service in the west as in the east- despite tlie fact that the cost of operation Is lower than In the east. Western Rates Unreasonable. Mi*. Whitla then referred to the claim of tlie Canadian Pacific railway that existing rates are reasonable. This was an admission by tho Canadian Pacific railway that tbe eastern rates are reasonable from Its standpoint. That being the case, and It having been demonstrated that earnings are higher and cost of operation less In the west than in the east, then it is only reasonable to expect that the commission will decide that the western rates must come down. "No rate can be based on the density of the traffic alone. Standing alone it means nothing,'- said Mr. Cowan. Considered together With the cost of operation, however, it was the ruling factor In making rates. A veteran member of the board like Col. Mills could remember, said Mr. Cowan, that from tbe earliest times wben adverse comparisons were (madia (between Canadian and American rates, the railways had only ■one defence, that traffic was denser and cost of operation less south or the line. This same argument had later been used to explain the difference between eastern and western Canada rates. Mr. Cowan cited a number of tbe rate cases where this evidence l«ul beeu given, Toronto's complaint about east and west bound rates from Montreal, and the Vancouver case, where Mr. Gutelius, now manager of the Intercolonial, had testified that the Pacific division was the most expensive to operate, and after that came Canadian Pacific railway branch lines In Ontario from Teeswater and Owen Sound. If, when Canada was young and its railway earnings less, its rates should be higher than those of the American railroads, then now that the country liad grown and the Canadian Pacific railway's per mile earnings were larger than those of any American roads why had not the samo principle been applied? Mr. Cowan spoke of empty car movement east and west, claiming that tbe difference between such movement In the two sections was only 2 per cent and quoting from Canadian Pacific railway evidence in the Portage la Prairie and const cities cases to prove his 'assertion. Mr. Cowan quoted at some length mm the evidence in tlie Reglna rates Hand Bags Make Very Presentable Gifts That tliey —— ' x MATHIEUS SYRUP . of TAR & COO LIVER OIL.

PREMIER'S OFFER OF CONCILIATION (continued from page one.) In delivering his speech, Premier Asquith said: "I have looked 1n vain tor a sug- geetlon from the opposition which would lead to a possible settlement, and I fancy I have found it where 1 least expected to find it." Concluding, the premier said: "I am hopeful that discussion, freely and frankly carried out on the lines I Indicated at Ladybank and the lines Sir Edward Carson Indicated, may lead to to a cessation of the long, embittered controversy and a settlement which will -command the consent and good will of all parties concerned. I agree with Sir Edward Carson that we have to consider carefully and sympathetically the case of the Irish minority, but equally we must keep'In mind the case of the majority, who, a£ter a struggle extending over more than a lifetime, now see their goal actually in sight." Must Obey Orders. Mr. Asqukh's speech comes at an hour when the newspapers of both parties considered that an attempt at settlement had reached the stage of deadlock and were taking the gloomiest view of the future. If the compromise Is cemented, the agitation over the army, which during the past week has grown bitter, will be one of bh0 strongest reasons for It. Sir Edward Carson aiid some of the prominent Unionists/ notably Lord Lans- dowtie and. Andrew Bonar ■ Law, in Bpeeches, suggested that the officers should resign and the soldiers refuse to fire If ordered to fight fellow Protestants. The leaders of labor unions hailed these speeches as precedents and asked indignantly why Sir Edward Carson was permitted to advocate such a (policy -when Tom1 Mann was recently imprisoned for a speech in which he advised soldiers not to fire on strikers. The present labor situation is so delicate tbat the Conservatives apparently have begun to fear tbe influence of their words. Even Sir Edward Carson now declares that the firat duty of tlie army is to obey ordors. A Dublin newspaper today said that Secretary for War Seel.v had demanded the resignation of Major Chrlchton of the horse guards, a son of Viscount Erne, for his connection with the Ulster volunteers. Thereupon eight officers of tlie horse guards threatened to resign, and the secretary for war withdrew his demand. Ulster Army Growing.
