Protest Called Technical In allied diplomatic quarters here the note was .not commented upon officially but uniformity of view wns notice- aide. The British view, as reflected in official quarters, was that the United -H.tates was protesting on technical grounds and failed to take into consideration the altered circumstances of Hip present war and the enlarged facilities for rapid communication by rail between Dutch and Danish ports, fdr example, and German cities. French and Russian officials pointed out that their governments were in sympathy with the attitude of their ally, Great Britain, and that while- the British foreign office was conducting the negotiations this did nut mean their governments were any the less interested. Among all-the allied diplomats t(fe view prevailed that the controversy would not become acute, it being pointed out J&at even if a deadlock was reached in the negotiations the llryan peace treaty mill was available for a year's investigation of the points in dispute. These 'pacts have been ratified between the United States and all of tlie allies. - .h, y j-^r "German Uiuartere"*t-tvpt*arguments in the American note were commended as sound aud justified by international law.

Earl Lorebunr added that this -was I what waa meant, by a war of attrition and that while the war continued the government should do its ibest to prevent irreparable mistakes. No scheme should be attempted, lie said, without the approval of the highest naval and military authorities. The idea of a small cabinet reporting to a'full cabinet on such matters, Earl Loreburn characterized as highly unsatisfactory. While discussing the censorship Viscount Milner said lie could not see that it did any good to censor tiie German wireless to London, that if the German reports were false it would be better to deny them than to let them go unanswered, for in the latter case neutral countries naturally came to the conclusion that Uhey were true.

The attempt failed, however, for the Spanish government, beinK* notified of what was going on, promptly declared the property as of "public utility," as forming part of the Spanish realm, and as such inalienable. Tbe declaration was followed liy the publication of a royal order In the Gazette of July 25. 1915, ' of which the following Is an extract: "ills majesty the king, In agreement with the council of ministers, has deigned to approve your excellency's (the minister of war's) proposition to declaro the Island of Caberera, of the province of Baieares, as of public utility, und as such subject to compulsory expropriation, in the terms of the dispositions contained in the law referred to and the regulations for putting it into force." It is curious that at a time when there is a. recrudescence of German submarine activity in the Mediterranean, the Spanish press should be again calling the government's attention to tho fact that ono of the Balearic islands, Minorca, is being used as a sup- -ply base for those vessels. There is another detail.

Robertson, president of the local Federal league baseball-club, admitted tonight that the $100,000 necessary to hold the Federal league franchise in liuffalo another year had nut been raised.

Judging from the responses that sum Ih-certain tn he raised within tho week. That the sum must be raised in ten days was made very plain by "William K Robertson, president of the duh. Robertson explained that the directors had been carrying the club, which necessarily incurred heavy indebtedness because of the unusually poor season. In short, he said, thc directors had either paid out or guaranteed obligations to the extent of aifout $168,000. The Federal league, too, advanced in each to the local club $-10,000 for salaries and other expenses which must he paid before Nov. 9 or the franchise would he forfeited to the lengue. In other words, Robertson stated that unless . the money was forthcoming Federal league baseball In this city w6uld be a thing of the past and the club would be taken elsewhere. Plan Decided Upon *: After much discussion the following plan was decided upon: First—The directors would accept $48,000 worth of second preferred stock and $24,000 worth of common stock, a total of $72,000, in lieu of the indebtedness amounting to $l(T8t- 000 which they guaranteed or paid. Second-—The sum of $100,000 is to be raised hy popular subscription. Forty thousand of this sum is to be paid to the Federal league for its' indebtedness; $10,000 is to be used to pay the sundry indebtedness outstanding, and the balance of $50,000 Is to be kept on hand to insure sufficient funds to carry the team through thc next season. The $100,000 so to he raised will bo secured by first preferred 7 per cent stock. An issue to that amount was authorized at a meeting of the stockholders last spring, but was never issued because of the confidence on the part of the directors that with a fairly good season the issue would have been unnecessary. Now that it Is imperative" that the money be raised every- effort will he made to do so. (G. H. Rice in Toronto Mail.) Less than a hundred years nun Ma- oaulay tn one of his brilliant essays in the Kdlnburgh Review, "Mitfonl's History of ('{recce." sketched with double perspective the existing condition of that country and her eontlimed claim by reason of her ancient herlt- age, upon the sympathies of civilized mankind: "Her freedom and her power have for more than -20 centuries been annihilated; her people have degenerated into timid slaves; her language Into a barbarous jargon; her temples iinve been given up to the successive depredations of Romans' Turks and Scotchmen, but ber Intellectual empire is imperishable. . . . Wherever literature consoles sorrow, or asaauges pain; wherever it brings gladness to eyes which fall with wakefulness arid tears, and ache for the dark house and the long sleep- there Is exhibited, In ith noblest form, the immortal influence of Alliens." The Recovery of Greece. — Since these words were written, and almost before Macauiay himself had passed away (1850) Greece had shown el gll s of recovering from her ruinous condition, and In our own day, thanks to the sympathetic attitude of Oreat Britain, France and Russia, and their active co-operation with her against Turkish domination ahd misrule, she,, like her neighbor, Italy, and largely frnm similar causes, has once more taften her place among the nations of Europe to the great gratification and abounding hope of all who had nn appreciation t of - her ancient power and fflory, and the large part which under wise guidance she might still play in the wnrhl. Nobody, \yc dare say, would hnve rejoiced more than Macauiay, before the outbreak of. this war, to hav*' seen the complete reversal In half a century of his dismal picture which modern Greece then presented. She Is cow nominally, at least, a free and independent country, with a'eonslitu- tional monarchy—the executive consisting of the King and' responsible ministers. ,Legislative power is In the hands of tiie chamber elected by man- hood suffrage for four years.

The actual introduction of artillery Into liritatyi may be said to date from 13M, the year of Bannockhurn, when a number of primitive cannon were imported from Ghent. "Mons Mog," at Edinburgh Castle, and "Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol," at Dover, arc the best known relics of the primitive weapons used by our forefathers. But to attempt a history of artillery progress Involves a history of the army, and amounts to a history of scientific progress, j Curiously enough, tlie first record of, tlie Royal Horse artillery which was-, formed In 1793) being employed In'jac tion appears to dors, in 1794, w "troop of galloper guns," as they were' then called, behaved In so gallant a manner that it was ordered to march past the whole of tbe allied armies, which were paraded in its honor. A Characteristic Feat (if the many famous batteries composing this section of the British "army mention must be made of the celebrated "Chestnut Troop" (now A battery), who covered themselves with glory In Holland in 17&!*: also Of Norman Ramsay's troop of "Lightning Artillery" in the Peninsular" war f"noi.V""I battery), who. at the battle of Feuntes Ouoro, when surrounded by the French cavalry, limbered up and charged their way ont through the masses of their enemies. Indeed, no feat of arms is more renowned or more characteristic of the dash and daring of the Royal Horse artillery than the one mentioned, when, to quote Napier's vivid words, "Suddenly the crowd became Violently agitated, an English shout pealed high* and clear, the mass was rent asunder, and Norman Ramsay hurst forth,, sword in hand, at the head of his battery; his horses, breathing fire, stretched like greyhounds along the plain', the guns- bounded behind them like things of no weight and the mounted gunnerjs followed close, with heads bent low antl. „pointed weapons in desperate career." At Waterloo the well known batteries of Webber Smith, Gardiner, Bull, Norman Ramsay, Mercer and Whln- yates, with Ross' and Meane's in reserve, were attached to the cavalry, and lost over 170 of all ranks nnd 309 horses killed and wounded. Thrilling Episode of Waterloo One of the most thrilling moments during the great battle was when Capt. Mercer and his battery of horse artillery turned cool, defiant faces to the pnrushlng sea of French horsemen, pouring into them round after round of case shot until the mass broke and ebbed, a flood of shattered squadrons, down the slopes.

French tirailleurs had crept up within forty yards of the battery and were busy shooting down the gunners, whllo Mercer himself rode .slowly to and fro in from of the muzzles of his guns, shaking hls.glove, in playful derision, at the men whose rifles were levelled at him, Shattered and terribly shaken up, tlie cavalry, nevertheless, quickly reformed, and came again UrM.be attack in solid, far-reaching squadrons, the very ground shaking under tbe multitudinous tramp of 'their horses. Mercer allowed the leading squadron to come within 80 yards; then, raising his glove as a signal, every gun crashed out, and the deluge of round shot plowed wide furrows in the; advancing mass of the enemy. Not once or twice, but again and again, the cannon thundered their volleys of destruction, until the ground was a welter of fallen men and horses, and the Frenchmen, unable to advance liefore such a blast of death, broke apd fled. Again and .attain they cann'1 on'— with the same result. "So dreft&ful was the carnage," MeFcer tells us, "that on the next day, looking back from the French ridge, he eould identify the position held by his battery by the huge mound of slaughtered men nd horses lying in front of it." And the combat raged until, out of 200 horses in Mercer's troop.

Germany's Infamous Alliance. We need [not emphasize too far the anomalies of the Teutonic-Turkish alliance, but a German alliance with a government that is systematically engaged in destroying a Christian folk must fall sharply even on a world's conscience hardened by many disillusions. So' far us sentiment in this country is concerned, Germany's moral battlefront has'been irreparably damaged on its northern flank in Belgium. II cannot be that Berlin is content to allow another Belgium to develop on its southern flank in Armenia.—New York Post. SAFETY MORE IMPORTANT THAN EARLY PEACE Despite the^eservation which he makes as to terms the aged Baron Courtney of Penwlth, who in the house' spf Iprds- yesterday urged that Great Britain should show itself willing to "accept, any suggestion which might lie offered" for ending tlie war, suffers from a common pacificist delusion. \\e imagines that the important thing is to end tlie war. The British Empire is* not fighting to bring the war to. an end but to win the victory which will make its freedom and that of other nations secure against Germanic designs in the future. R is fighting to destroy the power of the enemy which threatens the entente allies and which will threaten them as long as it exists. Nothing would please the allies better than an early victory but to ask them to open the way to peace negotiations before that victory has been made complete is to ask them to throw down their arms with their task unaccomplished.

In the east the Russian advance guards are now fighting on both the east Prussian and I'osen borders and it is believed that the Germans have given up their first plan of offering resistance to the Russian advance on the positions which they had prepared, on the Wartlie river. A demand upon Germany that Turkey end the fighting in Tripoli against the Italians will be forwarded to Berlin by Baron Sidney Sonnino, minister of foreign affairs, and Premier Salandra. No severe fighting has yet been reported between the Russians and the Turks. * - - >».♦>.......*** I THE CLUE OF THE MAZE. \ *•***+-*-**-***+**+*.**+ « . . . 11J GOOD LEGAL STORIES. **********************. There have been many collections of legal stories published and another has just been added to the list. It is entitled "The Majesty of the Law" and although many of the. anecdotes are well known the book, provides good reading. A few extracts may be of interest. A declamatory speaker, Ran- del Jackson, counsel for the East India company, who despised all technicalities and tried to storm the court by tlie force of his ^ eloquence on one occasion when uttering these words: "In the book of Nature,* my lords, is written-*—" was Stopped by tliis question from Chief .Justice Lord Ellen- borough, "Will you. have the goodness to mention the pane, sir, if you please." What the. reply was does not appear. A young; Irish barrister liegan bis speech to the court in these terms; "The . eagle soar-big high above the mists bf earth, winning its daring flight against a midday sun; until the contemplation becomes too dazzling fur humanity and mortal eyes gaze after it in vain!" Here the orator was noted to falter ami lose Die thread of his speech'; he sat down after some rain attempts to hegain it. The judge said "The next time, sir, you brin*,- an eagle into court, I should advise you to clip its wings." No doubt the hint was tnken. Lord Brampton (Sir Henry Hawkins) used to tell a story about. Mr. Justice ilaule. A liltle boy was being examined as to his fitness tri give evidence on oath. He was put through all kinds of questions to discover if he might be expected to understand the nature of au oath "And what becomes of people who toil iies—when they die?" asked the counsel, "if he knows that, he knows a great deal more than _f. do,-,, interrupted Justice Jlaule.qu.ie-tly. "Let the boy be sworn." Sir Francis Palgrave asserted that within memory, at the trial of a causo at Merioneth when the jury was asked for their verdict, the foreman answered: "My lord, we do not know who is plaintiff or w-ho is defendant, but w-e find for whoever is .Mr. Jones' man" It turned out that Mr Jones had been' the'successful candidate at a recent olection and the jury had been working in his interest. Another" version of a similar story is tliis: There is a tradition current on the Welsh circuit of the* great influence and ability of Mr. John Jones, one of the leading counsel, on one occa'sion, after one of Mr. Jones' felicitous speeches on lie- half of his client in a criminal case, the jury, as soon as the Judge liad summed up, without waiting for tlie officer to take tlieir verdict called out, "My lord, we are all for John Jones with costs." *•* * **** ** *** COLD STORAGE $ Things to worry about: The Mexican scltuation.

BERLIN.—An interesting phase in the history of the war is furnished by the evolution of "K" bread and its successful development up to the point of the protest which is now being made by a number of German newspapers,' which are calling on the government for immediate action in the matter. The German war bread began its career as "K" bread simply— Kriegs- brot, or war bread. A little later It became' "K. K." bread (Kartoffel Kriegsbrot--potato war bread). Then came a third formula., the "K. K. K." bread (Kartoffel-Kriegs - Kommand- anturhi'ot, or potato war kommand- antur bread), This was followed by" a creation of the kaiser himself, the "K. ' K ,K. K." bread (Kalserliches- Kartoffel - Kriegs - Kommandantur - Kuttur-1 rot, or imperial potato war kommandantur kultiir bread. Finally there appeared tiie "K. K. K. K. K. K." bread (Kaiserliches- Kartoffel - Kreigs - Kommandantur - Kultur-Kolossal-bread). The lead in the protest is taken by the Volkeszeitung of Leipzig, which calls upon the government either to end this '-(unnecessary and unseemly abomination" or felse confess that its stories of vast stores of wheat are childish inventions. This paper says: "No one will have failed to perceive that during tlie last few weeks our war bread, to which we had, little by little, become accustomed, has deteriorated to such an extent as to set up serious internal disorders. Bread Tastes Vile "Whether It be that the potatoes, of which- a proportion of 20 per cent is mixed with the flour are semi-putrid, or that the so-called flour itself is bad, we do not know, but certain it is that we are not at all surprised at the intestinal complaints which its consumption is causing. "Tlie bakers are not to blame. They are simply acting in obedience to regulations which were acceptable enough at the time they were Issued but which now" with the approaching winter are sure to produce lamentably serious effects on the health of the people." The fight against the high cost of living is also one of the favorite topics of thc German press. In this connection the Fremdenblatt of Hamburg says: "Truly the patience and long suffering of our housewives is being tried beyond human endurance. "To the authorities it Is seemingly not enough that the prices of 'daily necessities have risen in many eases by 75 per cent over the normal, The people also must be victimized by dealers who defraud them mercilessly while the government and municl- proper Is told ■I* pur- pal functionaries who are paid to do so refuse'to lift a finger lo protect them. Buyers Are Cheated "Citizens are urged, nay, . almost commanded, without cassation, to cat less meat antl fish and consume moro fruit, of which this year we have an abundant crop. They hasten to obey these Injunctions, and wilh what re- stilt? The shopkeeper fel'uses lo sell except by the crate, decline* to weigh it In the presence of lhe purchaser, who is tp ho content with a verbal assurance as to the contents of the crate. Returning homo, tin- housewife finds thta she has not tin weight. If she complains sli she need not make any m* chases*. "Cases have come under our notice where the crates were Iwo pounds short on seven pounds of plums, two pounds short on nine pounds of tomatoes, seven pounds short on .12 pounds of apples, and so on. This is a disgraceful stale of things. It is but too evident that the country people have been in school with the scoundrelly contractors and under- men, who are in league to rob the government and deceive and defraud hurd city workers who already have the greatest trouble to make both ends meet. Appeals Flood Towns "And the government does nothing but flood the towns with appeals for economy!" The chief military command of the -Mark and Brandenburg, including Berlin and Charlottenburg, has issued an order with the object of preserving the nutritive qualities of milk and of assisting the gathering of cream for the making of butter. The chief clause of the new law Is as follows: The sale of whipped cream is fur- bidden so also Is the serving of cream "hi conjunction'' w-ith food, cakes anil beverages iu confectioners' shops, tea houses cafes and restaurants," This order went into operation on August 26. The police are entrusted wilh the carrying out of its provisions and are empowered to take all steps to enable them lo do so. Persons acting against this order Will be fined a sum not to exceed $25,. or in default of payment will be punished with Imprisonment. ' GILLETT'S LYE Little Mm-) .

He hears talk of quitting, the permost word is not victory, peace, although most of the p continue to hope for victory. X theless, it is peace they di all things Their fighting spirit ts not rising, even though the tide of their armies' victories shows little sign of turning. On the surface the people are with the government, and no open criticism of the kaiser appears; hut underneath he finds a growing discontent with the continuance of the war, which the Germans had expected to be over before now Every month that passes takes it heavy toll of German lives and imposes fresh hardships upon the masses of the people. The newspapers are now venturing to publish letters from the front which discourage the nation that the flerman soldiers are supermen. Oermans in tho trenches are allowed to inform the peo. pie at home that bravery and military' resourcefulness are nut exclusive German eharaeteriatisticS, and even to rebuke those who continue to madly cheer for tlie war. Rhine Ready for Peace. He says that the recent peace demonstration ordered by the cardinal archbishop of Cologne would have heen impossible six months ago, and though the actual procession was frustrated at the last moment by.the authorities, tliey - feared to Interrupt tlle preparations which had preceded it, knowing very well that the archbishop represents the feeling in tiie Rhine provinces and in other parts tif western and southern Germany, where the majority of the people are Roman- Catholic.-*: For. months past the archbishop* has been advocating peace, and when he announced that upon September 20 there would be a procession In Cologne of those in favor of ending the war at once, thousands of Roman Catholic clubs and societies prepared to lake part in if. The authorities hesitated to interfere until it was announced that the Socialists were to participate, when they forbade it on the ground that it would lead to disorders. So the demonstration was can. reled, but nobody has ventured to rebuke the archbishop, who continues his demands. Vorwarts Protests. It is the rise in tiie cost of living, an despeciully in the price of food. that increases more than -anything .•lb.- the growth of war weariness. A remarkably outspoken comment on the food question which appeared in the Socialist Vorwarts was as follows: "one of the most dangerous deceptions perpetrated .luring the war is the pretense that Germany, although out off from all her overseas supplies, can feed her own population. The fact Is that the population 'of German cannot be properly fed by products of our own country. The war has proved beyond all doubt that it is impossible tb produce enough articles of nouriishment or to raise a sufficient number of cattle to feed the German ]peuul£ without foreign assistance. It is true that we shall be aide to hold out for some limited time, but only at the cost of the health and strength of the nation, now being undermined by systematic deprivation and underfeeding." Textile Industry Ruined. From another source it is learned that the great textile industries of Germany are stagnant. Tliis is caused by a law of raw materials, and means that nbt only are hundreds of thou- SandfMlf people out of employment, many of whom, of course, are serving aa soldiers, but that there Is Increasing difficulty in supplying the forces with clothing. The government Is being called upon to provide for idle men who are not fitted for military duties, on public works, to furnish temporary financial assistance to those without means and to keep the insurance policies of all of them in force until tho end of the war. The German government may be able to solve this problem, as It has solved others in the course of the past 15 months, but it is in the position of a tiring horse obliged to face one fence after another, each higher than the one before. Pressure from within and from without increases, and while such enterprises as Germany is now conducting in Serbia may {emmirnrily cheer the people It doesT"not*'lessen unemployment, reduce the cost of existence to the masses of German people, nor does it lessen tlie terrifying lists of dead und wounded which stare the readers of newspapers In the face each mowing.

He said that the plan was conceived by the ablest most experienced and disinterested men iii Canada. While some critics thought a government organization would have done the work better ll was clearly shown that the present organization could, through its visiting committees, keep in closer touch with the actual needs of the dependents than a government organization could. He was sure also that every dollar subscribed reached those for whom it was Intended as the interest on lhe money on deposit more than paid all expenses of disbursement. The inter- checking system employed in the disbursement of relief was so carefully worked out thai not a dollar could be misappropriated either by accident or intention. In proof of this it was cited that, after careful investigation of the business methods employed, conservative institutions, such as banks, milling concerns and other large-business organizations, endorsed the scheme by making contributions through It of many hundred thousands of dollars annually. After hearing tlie figures, by a little mental arithmetic it could be seen that this district would-.re- QUire to abdut double Its contribution next year, for the reason that the number of recruits had so grown that larger relief would be necessary for their dependants. S. .1. Towgood of Sandon said that that city stood ready to do its part and 'while not organized ns a branch as yet the citizens were imbued with the true patriotic spirit and with the mines at work he expected that Sandon would during the next year contribute even more money than Kaslo. \V.

Ross Writes to San Francisco Congress of Efforts to Benefit Industry. VICTORIA, B. C„ Nov. S.—The serious situation confronting the'lumber industry of tho west owing to chronic over-production and ruinous price- cutting received ji grcai (jfflj^i.^attention at the Pacific Hifggiiig congress and the annual meeting of tlie Western Forestry*, and Conservation association. Both of these meetings were held in the lumbermen's building** at the Panama International exposition at San l-Y-jncisco. Conditions in British Columbia are dealt with in a letter sent to the president of the association by Hon. VV. lt. Ross, from which the following quota? lion is made: "It is with great regret that I find myself unable to attend your meetings at San Francisco. I desired'particular- I.v to be present at the discussion of renditions affecting the lumbering industry. "It seems to me that there has-been definite progress during the pi'-esPnt year. ,1 "Discussion 'of what is wrong with the Industry is becoming" clearer and effort along definite lines Is beginning to take shape. From tliis side of the line we are watching with great interest your work of rephiffilg demoralization hy organization and of endeavoring to secure to wood its legitimate market. "As you know no government is so closely identified with the lumbering industry as it that of British Columbia. Present prosperity, public revenue and future development in this province depend very largely on the profitable marketing of our . forest products. Hence the situation of the lumbering business'is viewed with the greatest concern hy the. government, and every method of restoring the industry to sound health is being studied hy us: For the moment we are concentrating upon the conservation of lumber markets, to secure our products their lull legitimate market, and check the shrinkage in consumption from which wood has suffered so seriously in the past few years. Government campaigns of advertislng^have, in tlie past, been nf considerable effect when applied to immigration or the marketing of fruit. Tlie official campaign we now have In progress is, I believe, the first one that has been launched on he- half of the lumbering industry. We intend to push the work vigorously and to use-the most effective and modern methods of publicity. Pamphlets, newspaper articles and advertisements. farm building bulletins, moving pictures, and adaptions of some of the fertile ideas so successfully developed iu the forest protection movement iu the'west will all be used in an intensive artillery fire directed at the consumer. We are fortunate in securing the hearty cooperation of the agricultural authorities and other agencies now actively engaged in pushing the better-farming, more-lumber-cohsum- ing movement." i i- U.S. ARE FIGHTING HUNS One of Over Two Thousand Now in France Gives His Reasons. LONDON—When Major-General Sir Sam Hughes was over here he declared that some 2000 young men from tbe United States had joined th" Canadian contingents ndw fighting iu Flanders. He added that about 100 of these had fallen. What induced these men to join the Canadian forces is explained liy one of the men who proved his wortii in the trenches beyond Ypres. in addition to revealing the motives of his comrades he tells the world what they think of the present situation: If Roosevelt had been president instead of Woodrow Wilson it would he a case of the ITnited States army fighting in Flanders today and not a mere couple of thousand with the Canadians. In. the first place We are not fighting primarily because we come from the same old stock; That is not it ut all: it is because we are both the outcome of the same principle. An ordinary scrap between Britain and Ger, many purely out of trade rivalry would have left the !.'. S. A. cold: we should have looked upon it much as the Spaniards watch a .bull tight; und we rather expected it would eome along some day or other. What moved us was those first few weeks of the devastation of Belgium. That settled me and a good many- more of us. We gave our names as Canadians, and came over with the first contingent. And I can. tell you we have seen more than enough of Germany to raise 10,000,000 men -in tlie States, if only we were allowed. The Berlin papers may send ever boatloads of cooked-up accounts and Justifications by tbe yard, hut nothing will Welgn in the balance against what our fellows have seen with their own eyes in Flanders aloiig with the Canadians. There have been sights that we could not tell our women, and wliieh would make our men see red— sights that make the men in the trenches when once they rusli forward, cry out: 'TNo prisoners! No prisoners!" And that is saying a great deal when you realize the jolly boys they all are, and how they like fair play and mercy to a conquered foe All that is wasted on the Germans. Proud of Britain's Attitude. I can tell you the effect the war will have in America, lt is going to solve one of our biggest problems. It was always a question , which race was going to be top-dog with lis—the British or the Germans—and the Irish element practically held the .balance. Well, the violation of the neutrality of Belgium and the way Britain came ln on the side of the small states completely altered the old feeling of distrust, and us for Germany she "did" for herself. Besides, the Teuton never really became, an American even before the war. Thc gulf ibetween the two will now become greater. The interference '-1- -■<> mu.li .

Hence quite apart from my own belief in the justice nf the cause of the allies, I feel Justified in fighting fnr yQU.

Ynu were asleep when the war started. United States an Intended Victim. Tliere i.s another reason why we Americans are fishtino for llritain: We realize that your wan is our war; we are next nn the list of Oermany's intended victims. That is why wo have been piling up arms and ammunition ourselves and launching ships larger than your Queen Elizabeth. There is a strong war party in tho States who are out-and-out fnr active intervention on t'he side of the allies, not so much on behalf of Britain as of civilization, ibtit there Is alsn a strong peace party that blocks the way. Those who, like myself, have all the fighting spirit of the North and South war—and some eight or ten of our family fell In it—find our blond boil when we think of Poland and Bel- glum, and we, can not help fighting for you for that reason But if we Americans can feel sufficient enthusiasm to come over and fight "incognito," then I can't see why there is a single eligible young fellow in llritain not in khaki. We should he ashamed to see you English fighting: our battles when we .had still men who could fight of our own. Yet, after oil, I for one refuse to look upon the war merely as an Anglo-German conhlct. It ia a war between civilization and barbarism. If "Hie kaiser wins this war then civilization"-'wilt only have one de fender, and that is the rcnfclish-speak- inj? race. That would cement our country and yours as nothing else could. There are nn differences between us about" our planH for the future nf humanity. Civilization is already indebted to us considerably for what we—the English-speaking races—have done together for it, Init our task is not yet finished, In fact, we are up against tbe greatest danger the World has ever seen since the invasion of the Roman empire.

S.—-Until the ■closing hour the most conspicuous feature of today's market was relative dulness. Trading was altogether professional with a moderate upward trend after the opening. In the last hour the list developed a *- sudden weakness which not only completely obliterated previous early gains but scored some net ldsses. Chief among these were Canadian Pacific in the railway group and United States Steel among the leading industrials. Cana* dian Pacific fell from its top prico of 1S'% and closed at 18294. United States Steel, which early in the day showed a gain of almost -a, point at SO's, fell to S*l and closed a mere fraction higher. The Hurrimans, Ureat Northern, Atchison, New York Central and Erie substituted gains of a point or more by losses of as much, i Washington's note to Great llritain seemed to have nu effect in the early dealings, apart from London's lower prices for Americans. For want of somo more tanglible reason the avalanche of selling was attributed to adr vices from Washington indicating that the federal administration might meet with formidable opposition in its proposed policy of "preparedness,-'' In all probability, however, the reversal was accelerated by aggressive short selling. Total sales amounted to 825,000 shares. General news of the day embraced rejiorts from Chicago and other important railroad centres, showing'an increase of tonnage, Canadian products especially taxing the carrying capacity. Bonds were steady during the greater part of the session but weakened with stocks. Total sales, par value, were $5,735,001* United States bonds were unchanged on call. PtLEC, HOWLAND, President E.

COPPER COINS ARE SCARCE IN FRANCE Pr.es.8.-.*af Paris Is Devoting Columns to the Shortage—Alarmists Tales Abroad PARIS.—Tti&Si-smr crisis"—sou is the term for -copper coinage in France —has aroused considerable comment, and the Paris press is devoting columns to the ^subject. For the past few months i-hv scarcity of small change has been gradually increasing, and it Is now culminating in a positive famine. All the big shops are forced to give stamps in change, replying to complaints: "You can pay with them for what you buy next." Scuffles have occurred on subway trains and in street cars owing to the refusal of conductors to take anything but the exact fare. Tho railway stations are placarded, with notices: "Have the exact" sum ready; no change given." The leading shops are forced to buy coppers at a premium—fines have been Inflicted ln provincial towns on persons attempting similar transactions—yet the mint authorities say that never was so large a quantity of copper coinage in circulation as today. In popular view, German machinations are the cause. The Germans need copper? Sous are copper. Therefore the Germans seized sous. 'That is the Inevitable conclusion. Persons are said to ha%;e been arrested on the Swiss frontier laden wfth packs of sous. Twenty tons of copper coins have been discovered, it is solemnly asserted, in the hold of a ship captured in the Mediterranean on Its way from Barcelona to a Levant port. It is even asserted that organized gangs of sou hunters work ln the subway trains and street cars to collect the precious copper for Germany—the more plausible suggestion that such persons are acting for the big. stores being indignantly rejected. The fact remains that sous are uncomfortably scarce. The probable reason is the vast extension of petty commerce on the front, for which copper is needed in unprecedented quantities, with the British thero are nearly five million soldiers, including the subsidiary services, all constantly making small purchases and demanding a plontltude of sous*. The shortage thus created is exploited by small speculators who, at a premium of from two to four cents on a dollar, snatch a scanty living: The Inhabitants-of a frogpond close at hand awakened two little girls who were spending their first niSt In the country. -t>r \_/ First came the high, piping voice of a little "peeper." "What's that?" whispered Wlniile. , "I think It's a bird," ventured Susan. Just then a basso profundo frog sang one of his lowest notes. ■-'-■. --■'•■ "What's that?" came another startled whisper. "I ain't quite sure," came tho answer, "but I think it Is either a cow or an automobile," After the million German crimes in Belgium, crowned by the murder of Miss Cavell, it ,1s almost an anti-climax to receive the eighteenth report of-'tho commission of enquiry which has been investigating. Germany's violations of the rules of civilized warfare and which has been forwarded to this office by the consul-general for Belgium '""Canada, says the Toronto Mail and Empire.' There is nothing- here for tears, und yet we. gain from the report an idea aof the steady heroism of the hundreds of thousands of Belgian workmen who remained at home after the German Invasion and have since come under the authority of the Germans. We are tolfl. how in the face of fines and imprisonment and even banishment they have steadfastly refused to work for their taskmasters. They have; Ignored wages that would give them to-ewyWay more tlian they have earned In any week, and knowjng that they were at the mercy of their eonquerers they have persisted in their refusal*to do any work that might be In the interest of Germany'. In Love and War. We have an old vicious saying* to the effect that all is fair in love and wlftri and nothing more foreign to the genius of British ]ieoPl.R_was ever made Into a proverb. Pro-Germans, however quote the saw in order to justify Germany in many inhuman practises she has adopted. They say that if explosive bullets will more surely lead an army to victory the army ought to adopt them, since, the end in view is death to the enemy, and a man can die but once, no matter what sort of a bullet is employed. It. is to be admitted that some pf the conventions of warfare amount to no more thani a discussion Whether a man should lie killed*, liy the point rather than toy the edge of the sword. They do not attempt, howexer, to defend the practise of a nation agreeing with other nations to abide by certain rules which it had an equal voice in framing and then, at the first necessity departing from these rules. Those who say, all is fair in love aud war would not dare to argue that dishonor and treachery are fair. Heroic Engine Drivers. One of the articles in The Hague convention which Germany subscribed to forbids an occupying force to exact from the districts of an occupied country forced lubor which obliges t'hose who perform it to take part In an act of war against their own country. That is to say, if the Germans ocupied Toronto they could fnot oblige Toronto motormen to run curs carrying German troops to a point where they**ould engage the Canadian army. At the ffague convention Germany agreed to this and it is to be observed that at this convention Germany wus not the polite seconder of. every proposal put forward. She advanee-L ideas ,jb£* her own and -oth£r~td(.'u*4* ~she'ts,>i'issented from. That she should observe the rules to which. she objected 'at the time is'not to be wondered at; but this particular rule she approved. In Belgium she has persistently violated it. She has sought -fry .every means in her power to force railway employees to return, to their throttles and move German armies to and" fro across the country. Owing to their refusal it is said that several accidents have occurred, the German engine drivers being unaccustomed to the steep grades upon some of the Belgian railways. Banished from Belgium. When the mechanics first refused to accept the high pay offered them, it was announced that they would be starved into submission. Steps' were taken to cut them off from the food supplies sent to Belgium from Great Britain and the United States., They survived, however. Then they were told that unless they returned to work they would be sent to Germ-any where they would be forced to do whatever work was assigned to them without pay. Some (hundreds were thus expatriated, and though there is ncrnews of their fate, it is safe to assume that if they did not obey obey orders they were shot. However, this did not solve Germany's problem in operating the railroads of Belgium, where special mechanics were required. The.German invaders sought to apply .presi sure to the municipal authorities as well, and oblIg;ed them to issue instructions to all engine drivers that they would never be prosecuted in Belgium should they resume work. When they disregarded these announcements and failed to report their mayors and councillors were fined anil Imprisoned. Wire Workers Strike. At Sweveghem there is an important barbed wlro factory When the the Germans ocupied. the place and ordered great quantities of barbed wire the employees revolted. The Germans arrested the municipal officials and eventually forced every able-bodied man In the town to report at the factory for work The citizens still refused to work for the destruction of their fellow-countrymen. Many of them were imprisoned and their wives and families ill-treated. They remained firm, however, and whatever wire was turned out of the works was due to the efforts of German sbldlers, who had to drop tneir weapons and become mechanics for t'he time (being. The recalcitrant workmen are still subject to persecution and will be treated like felons so long as the Germans remain In occupation of their country. Their stubborn refusal to work, however, Is helping their country not less effectively than the activities of their fellows who have taken to the trenches; and when the war Is oyer they will be remembered* as gratefully as the armies In the field.

When horse chestnut trees that gave us such .bouquets (if beautiful flowers and such superb foliage shade in the summer arc. now' a mass of orange fingers around bunches of mahogany-like chestnuts the-children are stringing into necklaces. When the fern-like foliage of the mountain ash in Our city gardens is yellowing and reveals big clusters of coral red berries,'propnring..ii. feast for tbe birds that slay with us during the winter. When Virginia creepers like crimson rambler festoon porch and veranda, interspersed with Ihe yellow' trumpet flowers t>( the canary creeper whiehjs slow in yielding up the ghost'; when onr .gardens show a fenvwaning and belated pansies, astors and dahlias and we look for chysunthomums to replace them; whon the great, mountain mass of granite across tbo lake from Nelson is aglow from golden tamaracks and poplar cropping out among the dark firs and spruces, with here, anil there a touch of russet, red and purple from the ripening leaves of sbme low underbrush when gtin in hand we wander through the still woods with their pleasant resinous smell and the smell of fallen leaves looking out for a grouse among bracken or in the pine branches; when a blazing log in the open hearth_ is a cheery sight after supper; when all these sfeps are around us we know that a Canadian autumn bus arrived and that the days of our summer gardens are numbered nnd the plants will soon be under thq snow of the long Canadian winter. With the passing of our Nelson gardens which have contributed so much to all our pleasure during the summer sunn; of yoi^r readers may like to know how it fared with nn experiment we made with high mountain gardening around tbo Utile mine 5,000 feet above sea level, located on n rocky shelf. nn tlie steep slope of a-mountain 10OO feet above the valley on bare rock without a pOund of soil to make a garden with, as described iu an earlier issue of The News. They may Hke, perhaps, to know how in miners' phi-ase the experiment "panned out." We wore bound to have n. garden nt the mine, ifartly because we had always been used to a garden and partly because every one said It was impossible to have one at that altitude and under the conditions. Our miners took hold of the Idea and dug a trench around tho boarding house and office buildings, found simp- strong gravelly earth in the. bed of* a neighboring stream, screened it through thc meshes of an old wire bed mattress fronf the bunk house, brought the fine sifted earth in sacks on their backs till thc trencli was filled for a flower garden. Then they decided to have a kitchen garden by driving'^d-r-fbjhts into the dump on the bill side,"with mine lagging fenced off a little banging garden six feet deep. From the stables in the. valley tram buckets of manure were brought up anil with the earth;, from the creek the enclosure was filled with a good, rich soil. For growing cucumbers an old water barrel was similarly filled -and boxes arranged about the place for early lettuce, radishes, niusiard and cress, onions, etc. All being ready, flower and vegetable seeds were sown, which in due time began to conic up and gave us hopes of .a nice little flower and kitchen garden.

These brought with them a terrible beggary, personal despair, a predisposition to alarm. On their way they Impeded the retreat of armies, threatening confusion. Petrograd seemed to lie In danger. Then' the czar, by his brave and Idealistic, act of taking command, yet endangered his sacred personality. A Safety Valve All these circumstances and many more that cannot well be mentioned played into thc bunds of RadicalRus- sla. Confusion was apprehended, is apprehended, and In. that confusion some have been foolish enough to think that It would,be possible to do two things at thc same time, defeatj Germany and obtain a 'fundamental change In government, Thc policy of the political agitators, the extreme left, hay been to stir up trouble among tbe working-class population and then" to impnto the resultant strikes and outrages to the provocation of the police or the German-Russians. Fortunately the men of the duma, Liberal and Conservative alike, know that Internal dlsordor In.Russia is merely gain tn the enemy, and ln spite of Its extreme revolutionary elements, the duma is helpful. It still is, and can he, a safety valve. The most astonishing political phenomenon of the last six weeks has been the liberalizing of Conservative Russia. In order to save Russia, the Conservativesc have made a compact with all the moderate Liberals and have given their adherence to, a Liberal program. This has. been reflected ln the press, and the Novoe Vremya, corresponding fairly closely to tho Times In polltlcnl tone, has become the organ of the Liberal alliance. Thus rose the "Progressive Bloc," led by M. Mlllukoff, a pooling of political Interests which has caused more talk In Russia than any event of the war. i Sukhomlinoff had deceived the dufna by, jHlllQg.lt.iliat Rus- m.ule responsible to the duma i'or their W|(i*i1h and their actions.- A brief struggle of opinions took place./The Conservative element wished all tho energies of the blot* to be devoted to the tracking down of German influence, the dismissal of all people guilty of acceptance of German money, the ''■lease of Russian industry and finance from the grasp of the Germans; but the Liberals wonted the responsibility of the cabinet to the duma and they overruled the wiser counsel. Revolutionary agitation in Russia just now is ln all probability engineered by German, money and a pure Russia Is not the first thing desired by the Labor party and the Socialists. As a result of the adherence to the Liberal choice, M. Goremykin obtained thc prorogation of this session until' November, The Storm—and After The prorogation was thc signal for an astunishijjg storm—in all the political clubs, In the factories and among the people. Everyone feared the working men and the strikes and possible riots, the long-threatened Internal confusion which so .endangers Russia that which is ' loved by all 'rue Russiank There was a week of anxiety with-' hjII manner of rumors, aiul then we 'realized that for the time being tho danger was over, Ibe workmen had gone bach to their work, the movement not being ripe. That whieli the Germans hoped for failed to consummate itself. As u result of a conference of the political leaders witli the czar, the duma will resume its sittings at a little earlier date and probably with a greatly modified and moderate program. The work of the duma will probably be confined to the consolidation of all Russian efforts for resistance to the Germans and the winning of the war. . The war has put a terribly unexpected strain on the re- sources'of Russia. Thc personal, material and financial strain is increasing month by month and every effort of the reasonable elements in the duma is necessary for banding the nation I together for resistance to the* strain. I The duma as an institution is safe, i it I.s growing. It has destiny written in its fabric. It can afford to be I Patient, for it has plenty of time, After lhe "war the financial condition of Russia wii lie such that only through tbe duma will she be able io save herself, for it will he Impossible to raise adequate sums by taxation without an Intimate interchange of opinion with the people in the depths. GERMANY'S SUPPLY OF FOOD WILL HOLD Not As Well Off As Formerly—But They Are Not Starving LONDON.—Discussion of Whether tjie food situation In Germany really is as serious as has been pictured recently in some reports is continued by Ihe newspapers. The Daily Mail believes it misleading to say Hint Germany is starving, or in imminent danger of starvation, but adds: "There is no denying that food conditions there are vastly less favorable thglt at the outfeet of the first winter of the war. Last year, it is pointed out, Germany's domestic harvest was better than the average, and she had huge supplies in storage. This year's harvest, according to reliable Dutch reports, was under the normal mainly because the midsummer drought lusted two months, but in spite of this the potato crop was unusually large. Thc fodder question is believed to be the most important for Germany, as most of the supply formerly wa.s obtained from Russia." Tbe Post says it has learned that Rumania has decided the prices of cereals for export shall be double those for home consumption, and thai payment must be made in gold. An order for the commandeering of all flour in Hungary went into effect yesterday, according to Berne despatches. The Chronicle declares* Germany, is far from the end of her food resources, remarking upon German ingenuity in providing adequate substitutes for each article as it becomes loo scarce for general consumption. In this connection the Chronicle calls attention to advertisements in German newspapers for imitation eggs, lard, artificial, honey an.d straw flour. other London papers emphasize the bearing which the. Britisli submarine blockade in thc Baltic is likely lo have on Germany's supply of certain foodstuffs. It seems to be taken for granted" that Germany's connection with Sofia and Turkey cannot be protected soon enough to' have any considerable bearing on the food situation this winter.

He stated that.on Aug. 21, 1914, while engaged in operating the levers which control the carriage carrying the logs to the saw, a log got out of place and coming down behind' him struck a railing, driving it against his back and hand, thereby causing the lever to* move oyer and start the carriage*. When the lever was released, he satd,. the carriage, after going ahead, re- 'urneVl.'a.nd> catching the log jammed it against lilm, wedging hlm down. He claimed that as the result of the accident several of his organs were incurably injured. He bases his claim against the lumber company on the grounds that the guard rail behind which he was standing was not sufficiently strong to .withstand the impact of the log, and that if the rail had been more substantially built the accident would not have happened. Cross-examined by J. A. Harvey, K.C, who appeared for the defense, he admitted having been in a number of large saw mills were no guard rails were used at all. Peter Bqpks was the next witness. Being questioned by Alexander Mac- neil, who appeared for the plaintiff, he stated that he had been employed by the Nicola Valley Lumber company for several months previous to Lyon having been( engaged to fill his place. Asked regarding the guard rail, he said that white he was working the saw, it was in, a very shaky condition. He explained, by means of a rough model, displayed in the court, how he had placed blocks under the post of the rail. In order to protect himself. He claimed to have asked Mr, Robertson, the foreman, to make certain repairs to protect him from one of the belts. This, he said, had not been done. The witness then told of visiting the mill after the accident and finding the log lying where it had broken away and smashed through the guards. He gave it as his opinion that if a rail had been provided such as was used In the mill In which he now works, the log would not have broken through. Cross questioned by Mr. Harvey, the witness refused to admit that the guard rail was lose when he went to work in the mil), but swore that it was afterward, and that one o-ne occasion a plank came off.. He admitted that after telling Robertson that the guard was weak he did not mention the matter again during the 'two months he worked at the mill, Witness said that although there was a safety device on tlle lever that starts the carriage, he did not think it necessary to lock the lever when leaving it to adjtist a crooked log, although, he admitted, the lever could be released by a light tuoch of the hand. He did not think it was ever done. He said that it was a usual thing to move the carriage with one end of the log on it and one on the deck, but admitted that it would be proper practise to place both' ends of the log on the carriage before moving it, if it could be done. This, he said, would avoid danger that otherwise would be present. He admitted having seen first class mills operating without guard rails. *-_; Dr. J. J. Mills of Merritt, B. C, was called to the stand and stated that he arrived at the mill within an hour after the* accident occurred and found the plaintiff in a very serious condition. After an examination he declared that he found indications of internal rupture. He stated that an operation at the hospital confirmed his first diagnosis, and a second operation was found necessary. Irr addition to the rupture, he said, he found that the pelvic hone had heen broken and that several of the .adjoining organs had been injured to such an extent that some of. their functions 'had been ruined for lite, while others were rendered so defective that periodical operations would be required as long as the injured man lived. Cross examined by Mr. Harvey the doctor stood firm by his opinion that certain of Lyon's organs had been rendered useless. This opinion was borne out by Dr. L. E. Borden, who was next placed upon the stand. The case will be resumed this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The jurors in thc case are J. A. Erickson, foreman; Godwin C. Dickson, T. W. Ledingham, E. Marsden, I'. Halliwell, A. Wood, A. J. Gibson, Harry Burns. CITY TO SHARF IN CANADA'S WAR LiN Mayor and Treasurer Authorized to Invest $125,000 of Sinking Fund in Dominion Bond Issue. Power was given to Mayor J. J. -Malone and the city treasurer at the meeting of the city council last night to open negotiations with the minister of finance for the Dominion government with a view to taking up bonds in the proposed war Issue as, soon as they are placed upon the market to the extent of $125,000, the money to be taken from the city of Nelson sinking fund. When the matter of the Investment was placed before the meeting, it was pointed out that the probable rate of Interest on the money would be in the neighborhood of 5 per cent, which which would give the city a clear prof. It of 2 per cent over the regular 3 per cent rate of interest allowed by the bank. It was felt by the council that no better investment could be made and that it was advisable to lose no time in placing an application with the minister of finance, as it is expected that the issue will be in great demand as soon as it Is floated. The report of H. P. Thomas, manager of the city gas plant, was submitted to the meeting in which he recommended the installation of new retorts at the works. The report stated that the present set of five bench retorts was nearly worn out and that it was advisable, in getting new ones, to have five bench retorts, as the cost of increasing the capacity would be greatly lessened by doing the work at one time. It also recommended that the material be ordered for another set of five bench retorts which would he needed within the next 18 months. On the motion of Aid. A. S. Horswlll and Aid. John Bell the manager was au thorized lo negotiate for the material needed and the new retorts, In order to have them by the first part of Feb ruarj-. An application from the citizens living on Carbonate street between Park and Cedar streets, to have a portion of the street repaired was referred to the fire, water and light committee. Tho monthly statement of Fire Chief Guthrie, reporting everything in the department in running order, was read and accepted without comment. The council adjourned until Monday, Nov. 22, at 8 o'clock. ■ LJUUJI *\ TUESDAY A.S.HorswiM&Co.
