(By Dally Newa Leased Wire.)
LONDON, June 8.—Tho big battlo In
Galicla has not yet reached n decision.
The Austro-Oermans have crossed tho
Dniester south ol Lemberg and have
assumed the offensive further to the
south .and, according to the Austrian
official reports, hnvo succeeded; In
pushing tho Russians Imck between
Kolomea and Kalussv. In eastern flal-
Sola.   '
This operation was necessary beforo
the Teutonic allies continued their advanco toward Lemberg, as the Russian
attacks In thd region of Kolomea were
beginning to look dangerous after the
Russians had, as reported from Petrograd last week, Inflicted a rather severe defeat on tho Austrlans In this
district
British and Rusisnn military opinion
is that the Austro-Germans, after their
Ms effort which regained for them
tho greater part of Galicla, hove about
exhausted themselves, nnd the view
is expressed thht they will soon have
to secure and fortify a line on which
Uiey can withstand the Russian counter attacks, which hnve already made
themselves felt on the lower Son.
If tbo Russian position were really
dangerous, these authorities say, the
allies would long ago have taken a
general offensive In the west to relieve the pressure on the eastern front.

But Btyonst Looks a Little Unhand-
some, Says General 8am Hughes-
Does Business Well
OTTAWA, Juno 8.—According to
Oen. Hughes, the Canadian rifle is
showing Up better than any other arm
at tho front.
"Tho Canadian rifle is the best ot
them all," said Oen. Hughes. "It
shoots better than tho small arm carried by the aoldlors of any other army.
It stans's rough work hotter.
"The only objection which hns been
suistalned against It Is that tho bayonet
is unhandsome. Wc may change the
design of the bayonet and adopt one
similar to tbe French.
"However unpleasant tho Canadian
bayonet may look to our friends. It
hasslooked far more unpleasant to our
enomlsps on severnl occasions. It is
effective for its business. Tho rifle
and bayVnet mako thc weapon a little
longer th-MJ most others, and tho fact
that they weigh a pound more than
the British gives greater power in
bayonet work.
"It has gone through recent severe
operations fine. Both the battle sight
an<J the sharpshsaotlng sight, with
which the Canadian rifle is equipped,
have been successful in actual service.
"I am well satisfied with the rifle."

FIGHT OVER IRISH POST
CAUSES CABINET CRISIS
(By Dally Newa Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Juno 0, 2:30 a.m.—Tho
difficulty of filling the office of lord
chancellor of Ireland has not yet been
overcome. Tho Unionists claim the
appointment for Right Hon. J. M.
Campbell, Unionist M. P. for Dublin
university, but tho Nationalists
strongly oppose this on account of Mr.
Campbell's Ulster sympathies.
The Nationalists held a meeting and
it. Is understood Mr. Campbell will be
induced to abandon his claim to the
lord chancellorship and accept a judB-
shlp Instead.
Tho Nationalists at their meeting
also passed- a resolution on motion of
John Dillon, one of the Nationalist
leaders, declaring against conscription.
The resolution stated that compulsory
military service is needless and that
any attempt to enforce it would break
up the unity of the United Kingdom.
It appears that Mr. Campbell received the offer of the chancellorship
from a source .he considered competent to offer it and thereupon gave up
ihis praotlse at the bar to accept. It
is rumored that if tho appointment of
Mr. Campbell, is withdrawn as a result
of Nationalist tajreats, Sir Edward!
Parson will resign as attorney-general
and that perhaps other members ot thc
new coalition ministry will glvo up
their portfolios.
Tho Nationalist contention Is that
the coalition government was formed
to carry on the war and not to interfere with the government of Ireland
and they strongly object to Mr. Campbell, who always has been prominent
In anti-home rule agitation.
Cabinet Crisis Called 8erisus
Altogether the new government is
not getting smooth sailing. There
wero many evidences in tho sitting of
the commons yestorday that a considerable section ot the members are
unwilling to forego their rights to
critlclzo the ministry freely.
The threatened cabinet crisis is, according to Liberal papers, very serious.   The Chronicle says:
"If Mr. Campbell is appointed lord
chancellor of Ireland tho Nationalists
will move ji vote of censure on tho
govornmont, which would receive the
support of at least 100 Liberal and
Labor members, as well as somo 80
Irish members."
Tho Chronicle adds:
"Both A. B. Law and Sir Kdward
Carson are holding Premier Asquith
to the appointment of Mr, Campbell,"

WASHINGTON, June 8.-.William
Jennings Bryan, three times Democratic candidate for the presidency of
the United States and author of nearly
BO peace treaties with the principal nations of the world, resigned today as
secretary of state as a dramatic sequel
to his disagreement with President
Wilson over tbe government's policy
toward Oermany.
The resignation was accepted by the
president. The cabinet then approved
the response which had been prepared
to the German reply to the Lusitania
note. Acting Secretary Robert Lansing
will sign tbe document and tomorrow
it will he cabled to Berlin. Secretary
Bryan will return to private life tomorrow, when his res&aiation lakes effect.
It. was learned that he intends to
continue his support, of the president.
Mr. Bryan's letter of resignation was
as follows:
"My Dear Mr. President: It. is -with
sincere regreet that I have reached the
conclusion that, I should return to you
the commission of secretary of state
with which you honored me at. the
beginning of your administration.
Fears Note Means War,
"Obedient to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government a note in which
I cannot join without violating what I
deem to ho an obligation to my country, and the Issue quoted is of such
moment, that, to remain a memher of
the cabinet, would be as unfair to you
as it would'he to tho cause which Is
nearest, my heart—namely, the prevention of war.
"f, therefore, respeol fully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
noto is sen!, unless you prefer an earlier hour. Alike desirous of reaching a
peaceful solution of the problems arising out of thn use of submarines
against merchant ment. we find ourselves differing irreconciliably.
"ll. falls io your lot to speak officially for the American. I consider it
to he none the less my duty to endeavor as a private citizen to promote the ond you huve in view by
means which you do not feel at liberty
to use.
"In severing the intimate and pleasant relations which have existed between us during the past two years,
permit me to acknowledge the profound satisfaction which It has given
me to be associated with you in tho
mportanl, work which has come before
the state department and to I hank
you for the courtesies extended.
'With the heartiest, good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the success of your administration, I am, my
dear Mr. President, very truly yours,
"W. J. BRYAN.
"Washington, D. C, June 8, 1915."
Wilson Praises His Work.
President Wilson wrote:
"I accept your resignation only lie-
cause you  insist on   its acceptance,
and I accept it with much more than
deep regret, with a feeling of personal
sorrow. Our two years of close association havo heen delightful to me.
Our judgments have accorded in practically every matter of official duty
and of public policy until now; your
support of the work and purposes of
the administration has heen generous
and loyul beyond praise; your devotion
to the duties of your great office and
your eagerness to take advantalg-e of
every opportunity has been an example to the rest of us; you have earned
our affectionate admiration and friendship.
"Even now wo are not separated in
the object, we seek but. only in the
method by whicli we seek It.
"It is for these reasons that my feeling about; your retirement from the
secretaryship of state goes so much
deeper than otherwise. I accept yonr
resignation because I must. We shall
continue to work tor the same causes
even when we do not work in the
samo way."

miners to act cautiously and deal fairly
with these aliens in accordance wilh
their organization obligation, but were
obliged to retire without completing
their discourses. A large number of
speakers presented their views, among
whom were Mayor Uphill, Messrs.
Draper, Biggs, Huney, Mine Superintendent Oaulfield nnd others. All attempts to induce a return to work
while the enemy alien workers wore
employed were objected to and continual Interruptions delayed progress.
Suggestions tbat the government be

that mines be set aside for the employment of Austrians und Germans

again be willing to work" was curried.
An amendment requesting the management to suspend the aliens unlit government intervention wns rejected.

A    DAUGHTER   OF   THE    EMPIRE.
This Is a little story of a personal
experience which Mrs. McCluiij,1 was
kind enough to give me to-readers of
lhe "Quiet Hour."
"Have you any chickens?" I asked
one of t.ho kcepiTa of the stalls in tbe
North Edmonton farmers' market.
"I have plenty!'* he answered rend*
lly—"bul say." lie added, quickly, "1
wish you would buy from the woman
over there in that stall at the don:*.
She's come a long way and she is anx-
s io get home. She's a young Knglish girl—she's outside now seeing titter her pigs.. (hui I'll go For her."
Who'll say that chivalry is dead?
This grizxletl old bomosteader is snrc-(
ly holding up bis end of il!
He came back with lhe younii Kii.l--
lish girl dressed in a rough serge
suit, opossum lilt's, and shoe-packs.
Is ii into thai yon want chickens?"
she said.
I   declared   lhat   il   was   qUlLo  truo,
llhoitgh from lho moment I saw her
I was interested in Iter far mon- than
ihe finest chicken  thai   was over
turned Into a pot-pie.
"How far did you como " I asked.
"Seventy-five     miles,"      she    said,
northwest of here.    II  took us Ihroo
days."
Who came with you?" I asked—she
IllGd so young to me.
One of tho neighbor's  hoys,''  she
said, "fl lad of eighteen."
Where, are your people?" I risked.
Tlie chickens were forgotten hy this
My broihers are all In the army."
she said, steadily, "and.I nm looking
ter things myself."
I   had   almost   expressed   my   sympathy   beforo  I  noticed   the look  on
face.    So I extended    congratulations instead.
Do you live alone?'' 1 asked.
Yes,"  she sulci, "since  my  young
brother wont—of course, It is not so
had—1 havo the horses and stock to
look after, and 1 hnve a cut, loo."
"I'll Inlce all the chickens!" 1 snid,
ind What else have you?"
■That's  how  |t happened  that she
imo home with me thnt night, and
I had the greal. pleasure of entertain-
lug this brave daughter bf ihe empire,
who stays by tho stuff—While her men
folk go out io fight!
I would have gone home," she said
simply, "if l had been a trained nur ho,

"flow many brothers have, yon?"
sited ber.
"I have three," she snid, "and-vtheJ

Then she explained the reason foi|
his delay.

t Yes—I know that sort of a house!
I can feel its cold draughts blowing
over my feet now! t
W'ere ynu never afraid to live

•"There was nothing else for me tel

■ ' "I really believe that I owe my life
to "Fruit-a-tives". Ever since childhood, I have been under the care of
physicians and have been paying
doctor's bills. I was so sick and worn
out that people ou the street often
asked me if I thought I could get
along without help, the same old
Stomach Trouble and distressing
Headaches nearly drove me wild.
Sometime ago, I got a box of "Fruit-
a-tives" and the first box did me good.
My husband was delighted and advised a continuation of their use.
Today, I am feeling fine, and a
physician meeting me on the street,
noticed my improved appearance and
asked the reason, I replied, "I am
taking Fruit-a-tives". He said, "Well,
if Frmt-a-tives are making you look so
well, go ahead and take them Tbey

INTEREST WANES
IN THE RED SOX
Fans and Writers Trying to Find What
Is. Matter With Thl8
"Prospect."
Last Winter many sharps predicted
that the Boston Red Sox would mako
a runaway -with the American league
pennant, tout they -have been big disappointments, says an eastern exchange. Whilo the team has had its
share of misfortune in the way of injured stars, it is also said that internal troubles have had much to do with
the failure of the team to get out In
front.
The team Is said to be split into factions and that there aro evidences that
tho old soro caused by the release of
Manager Jake Stahl, after winning a
world's championship, has not teen
healed.
That there was trouble was proved
by the suspension of "Dutch" Leonard,
who was the star hurler of tho team
last year. Success Is said to havo increased tlie size of Leonard's hat, and
this Once benighted busher has developed the temperament of a grand
opera star. He failed to get into condition and has been of little use to the
Ilex Sox this season.
Leonard made changes that Lhe players were down on Owner Launin. It is
hinted that the owner did not enjoy
his high-salaried team losing game af-
ga-nte. This is another evidence
of the unreasonableness of baseball
owners, who put up a ton of money to
run a bal lteam. They have the brazen
nerve to expect to get something in

Since baseball got in full sway the
new champion has been driven off the

The talk of tho big fight has simmered down and is almost entirely out.

but now that the heavyweight togaj
has come back to the white race all
the fans want now is for Willard to
fight and defend his title., lie Will
hardly take part In a bout, though,
before tho fall.
Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard, a few days ago iu Chicago stated
that no otter has ever been made to
him for a $lio,UU0 bit, for his end—win,
lose or draw—for a 10-round 'bout in
the open air in New York city some
time this summer. "All this talk about.

the winning of the championship from

a reasonable offer and against a first

BRYAN'S RESIGNATION WILL NOT
WEAKEN  CABINET
The resignation of William Jennings
Bryan will not weaken the United
States cabinet.
The "peerless orator" was taken into
the- administration because of his
faithful service as a leader of the
Democratic party rather than because
during his unsuccessful presidential
campaigns he had displayed any marked genius for statesmanship.
W. J. Bryan is a great orator, a man
of high principle but as impractical as
he is silver-tongued. His unfitness for
the solid duties of practical government has been recognized since he was
appointed to office by none more
openly than the Democratic organs.
Wilson and Bryan both believe in
peace; both hate war. But the president and the ex-secretary of state
differ as to the price which should be
paid to retain peace. President Wilson
considers that the time has come to
choose between dishonor and the possibility of war. Mr. Bryan would avoid
any action which might lead to hostilities.
The1 great body of the American
public, unless all the signs are mis*
leading, will not regret Mr. Bryan's
resignation under such circumstances
ur be weakened thereby In its support
of President Wilson's foreign policy.
Enlist today.
The Toronto Globe says that It is
estimated that it would cost $2,500,000
to abate the smell from Toronto's
septic tank.   It must be some smell.
General Hughes says that the
Canadian bayonet has been criticized
because it is "unhandsome." If Canada changes to a type which is really
beautiful the Germans simply won't
have a show.
Aviator Lieut. Warneford, who destroyed a zeppelin in an air battle in
Belgium, has heen given a Victoria

better deserved.
Canada is to raise 35,000 additional
volunteers. Four times that number
would not exhaust the Dominion's resources of patriotic young men willing
to offer to risk their lives for their
Empire's honor and safety.
Having retreated in Galicia with his
armies intact, Grand Duke Nicholas
appears now to be about ready to com

Into their former positions and beyond
them.
MEN    OF    KOOTENAY-BOUNDARY
SHOULD ENLIST IMMEDIATELY
Less than 100 men are now needed
to bring the 54th battalion up to a
strength of 988 men but the timo for
enlistment is short.
Those who wish to serve their country with the Kootenay and Boundary
boyB, with the regiment which has
been raised in this district, should en
list at once,
There is no further occasion for delay, * There will be opportunities later
for enlistment in the new formations,
totaling 35,000 men, which are to be
raised but thc opportunity of Joining
a Kootenay and Boundary battalion is
not likely to occur again.
Every district in which a recruiting
station is located should redouble its
efforts to secure the comparatively
email number of volunteers which are
needed in order that the magnificent
body of soldiers of the King who are
to leave shortly for Vernon training
camp may entrain at full strength.
The time in which Kootenay and
Boundary men can enlist in the Kootenay and Boundary regiment is growing so short that a few days' delay will
make Intending volunteers too late to
be included in the battalion which is
soon to go to Vernon.
Students of war history will recall
in connection with the resignation of
the pacificist W. J. Bryan from the
United States administration that
something of the same kind happened
to Lord Morley and John Burns of
the Britisli cabinet about the time
Great Britain declared war.

RATHER    BE    DUPE    OF    CHINA
THAN CHUM OF KAISER
The late John Hay, the great American secretary of state and author, had
definite opinions about Germany and
its government. At a time when many
leaders of public opinion had been
deluded into the belief that Germany
was a nice, peaceful, gentle nation ho
wrote to a friend concerning affairs ln
China after the Boxer rebellion:
The success we had in stopping
that first preposterous German
movement will always be a source
of gratification. . . . The German government, which is generally brutal but seldom silly, recovered its senses, climbed down
off its perch and presented
another proposition which was
exactly in line with our position.
Some time later Mr. Hay wrote*.
But  lt will  come.    At least we
are spared  the infamy of an alliance   with   Germany.    I   would
rather,   I   think,   be   the   dupe  of
China   than    the    chum   of   the

said yesterday in substance:  "We
have demanded   of China   everything we can think of.   If we think
of anything else we will demand
that, and be damned to you"—and
not a man in the world kicks.
The world has since discovered that
for a nation to be "the chum of tho
kaiser"    is    incompatible    with     Its
national honor and integrity.

No one will deny the professional

Evidently he assumed that he was

On that point Mr. Asquith respectfully

of professional experts, not at their direction. Fortunately the royal navy

At LotMlonr-iMinnehaha, New: York,
A Curious Study.
'Right Hon .A. J. Balfour it* a curious study. His career has been a surprise even1 to those who knew him
best. A "dilettante politician" ho has
often been called and despite his
strong stand In all positions ho is yet
considered1 to be dilettante. Ho entered parliament when he was 2t) years
of age and he was 12 or 14 years ln
the house before anyone every thought
of .him as anything but a moro Indolent amateur, a dabbler, who gave to
politics the -little time lie could spare
from phUoso phi sings land droamings.
Laughter greeted the announcement
that he was to 'become chief secretary
for Ireland. Strong men had broken
down on the wheel of Irish affairs.
Man after man of both political parties
had tried conclusions with the mighty
Irish movement but -all had failed.
Mr, -Forster, one of the most ruggedly .strong men of his time had
fought the fight with splondld courage
and tenacity but at the end of two
years he was a discredited politician,
a -broken man. Lord Frederick Cavendish had fallen bravely fightiag for the
life of a comrade in a pool of blood
in tho Phoenix park. Sir George Tre-
velyan, enteriin-g office with hair black
an a raven's wing left it after a couple
of years white, old and prematurely
ruined In health.
He Won In Ireland.
Can It be wondered at, then, that
contempt was thrown at the suggestion that a dilettante politician was
to assume tho offico of chief secretary
especially at the time when1 Mr. Par-
nell was at his best? But ho took up
his position. He introduced 'the Co
orclon bill and piloted it through the
house of commons. Then, he administered it Throughout the trying time
Mr. Balfour never quailed. He fought
assassination with lengthy imprisonment. He had taikeu up his position
and stuck to it with inflexible resolution. Threats, vituperations, pleadings
—all wero in vain.   And he won.
-Steadily he rose in his party and in
the estimation of tho country. During
the last tenure of office of his uncle
tho Marquis of Salisbury, Mr. Balfour
was first lord of the treasury and leader of the house of commons-. On the
retirement of Lord Salisbury Mr. Balfour succeeded to the office of prime
■minister and led his party until 1906
When he resigned. After the general
elections of Who (following year he
found his party In tho minority. He
continued in tho leadership until 1911
when he retired.
Two Things at a Time.
"The only man who seems to ibe ahle
to do two things at one timo and do
them -both properly" was tbo opinion
formed of Mr. Balfour when, he was
leader of the 'house of commons. It
waa his custom to write a daily letter
to hor late majesty, Queen Victoria.
This he -did as he sat on the treasury
benches, his long legs stretched tout,
his feet resting on the treasury table
In front of the -clerks of the house and
a pad on his knee. Many times members of hia own party watched him
uneasily as the opposition .brought to-
bear their heavy guns of debate on the
policy of the government without apparently gaining any attention from
tne leader of the house, who kept on
wrifiin-g his letter. But When It came
his turn to enter Initio the dobato lt was
quickly seen that nothing had escaped
him. Exhaust lively ho would deal with
every matter relevant to the discussion which had been brought up in
the debate.   Nothing escaped him;
IMr. Balfour isi not an attractive
speaker—-that Is, if one hears only the
first ten minutes nt ono of his
speeches. It takes him loin-g to get
going. This is a peculiarity of the
wholo Cecil family. 'Lord Hugh Cecil
and his brother, Lord (Robert, resemble
their cousin, Mr. Balfour In this. They
are all tall men, with long legs and
hands and arms which at first seem
to he ini the way. But when iproperly
started there are few men in the house
or in the country who can more readily
justify their participation in, debate.
It ha itwiw said of Mr. Balfour that
his main qualification for the post, he
has assumed ia his ability to take advice and counsel. ■H'ta record proves
th.ri.t be can but his record also .proved
that h© has. a mind of his -own.
Being the smallest of tlie belligerent
allies, it Is perhaps natural that the
kingdom of Nontenegro should be a
very little heard of In this war, says
the Toronto Mail nnd Empire. Ami
yet the soldiers of King Nicholas have
fought some pretty hot actions against
Austria-Hungary amd thoy are ready
to do their share of tlie fighting that
la to come. Montenegro has hut one
harbor on the Adriatic coast, DuMgno,
and in the new apportionment that
is sure to take place in this region
it Is very important that the little
mountain kingdom should mot be shut
away from the sea altogether, whatever .power Is to -be the dominant ono
in the eastern part of the Adriatic.
Tbo logical port of Montenegro Is
Cattaro, but it Is nno Austria has
jealously guarded for herself. The outbreak of the war was not altogether
unexpected In Cettinjo. The Austrian
ambitions in the Balkans as well as
thoso of the Serbs have not been unknown tW tho Montenegrins and when
the ferocious ultimatum was sent by
Austria to Serbia another note was
sent to King Nicholas thamking him
and his 'subjects for their correct record in. reference to tlie murder of
Archduko Ferdinand In Sarajevo which
was supposed1 to havo compromised
tho Serbians so badly.
Austrian Bribes.
This wan a plain hint that there
would be trouble with Serbia and that
Austria was trying to keep on friendly
terms with Montenegro. The Austrian minister furthermore mado it
understood that ini tlie ease of war
with Serbia Austria would (be willing
to cede to Montenegro the much disputed district of Scutari, which the
Montenegrin army had ocupled in the
Balkan war, but whicli it had been
obliged to give up in favor of the new
state of Albania, that was formed under Austrian auspices. The Austrian
minister also hinted that his country
would agree to a rectification of the
border in tho northwest and would
yield a small portion of H'erzegovia to
Montenegro, all as a price of neutrality. When the ultimatum to Serbia
was delivered' it was at once forwarded to 'Montenegro by the Serbians who
wanted to know what King Nicholas |
thought of it. His reply was: "Pre- ;
serve the honor of your country and
count on us." The representatives of
tho two central empires were kept under a reassuring impression until thoy
were suddenly told tn leave the country ns Montenegro would join Serbia
in the war.
Montenegro's War.
Tho actual hostilities began Aug. 6.
when an army of thc little mountain
country began ah invasion of Austrian
territory  between   itself anil  tlie  sea.
Tho Austrian frontier guard withdrew
behind the fortifications of the entrances  to tiie  harbor of Cattaro and
the Montenegrin forces ©coupled about
30 miles of tho Dalmatlon coast line,
Including' tho littlo towns of Splzza,
Castollastra   and    Boudua.    Another
army of  the   mountain   race   met   an
Austrian attack further to the north,
tho object of which hail been to roach
the city of Nikslc and thus practically
cut the Montenegrin}.territory in two.
Tho battlo took place on the historic
field   of   Grahovo,   where   In   1858   a
Turkish army had been destroyed by
tho   redoubtable   Montenegrins.    The
Austrian attack  was   delivered  from
tho   fortress  of   Dvrsnik   which   was
used as a base.    Tbe attacking forces
wero supposed to be at least t'ivP times
as strong numerically as the defend-
rs  and  eight  times the attack  was
renewed.     Tho   slaughter   was   great
and when It was over tho field wus
covered with dead. The not result was
that   the   Austrians  had  to   retire  to
tho fortress and Niksic was saved.
Beat Back  Invaders.
'•Simultaneously  with this attack  a
third was made with about 15,000 men
from the north  against the town of
PlevMe in ihe old Sandjnk or Turkish
province of No vi-Bazar, whicli separates   Montenegro  from '-Serbia   and
which was given to Montenegro as her
slico of Turkey after/tho first Balkan
war.    The  object of   this  alack  was
evidently to separate Montenegro from
her ally. Serbia and owing to the lack
of communications in this newly acquired province and also owing to tho
speed    wilh    which    the   attaclc   was
launched   from Sarajevo,  tho capital
of   Bosnia,  as a   base  It enabled  the
Austrian forces to roach Plevlle.   Reinforcements were sent from tho south
as rapidly as possible and after U reed
marches tho Mpnenegrlais mot the invaders, drove them as far as the river
Drlna In Bosnia, There was a battle
that ended victoriously for the Montenegrins, who then crossed the Drlna
and got wlfhLni ten miles of Sarajevo.
Last November the Montenegrin forces
were encamped 85 kilometres from,tho
homo border, but with the approach of
winter  the   river began  to  swell,  it
became increasingly hard to provision
the army so far from home, there being  no  railroads    and    consequently
King Nicholas decided to retire, to tho
river itself, .where tho army that made
tho advance is still encamped.
Five   Attacks   Repulsed.
A fourth attempt to Lnivade Montenegro was made by the Austrians from
Ragusa On the Dalmatian coast, at a
point failed the Valley of tho Wolves.
A few battalions wero sent there and
tho Austrlans were driven back, after
which tlie -defenders joined  the army
to tho north that was then attacking
Sarajevo.    A fifth attempt was later
made through the same point as tho
second, through Grahovo, but this w
also repulsed.   lira addition to defending tho country against the Austrlans
tho troops of King Nicholas hud to
ward off raids by moro or loss regular
forces  of   Albanians,     On  tho  wholo
tho littlo army of Montenegro lias been
very ibusy and tho Austrlans have won
little honor from It.

Laohlm C. Davidson, of Montreal,
gunner of tlie 7th Canadian Field battery writes to liis mother, Mrs. William Davidson, of Como, Que., an interesting account of the fighting
around Ypres, from which the following is taken:
"I think our battery suffered more
than any other. Of course the infantry
suffered more than we did. I saw Leslie Davidson the other day. We were
in action on the side of a hill and hia
battalion had been relieved from the
first lino and had fallen back as far as
we wero. They had to move that night
though, as the enemy's shelling was
too great. During the action in that
position wo had -11 casualties and 85
horses hilled out of 190. The head-
driver on the gun got shot in the lei
and I took his place. Since then I
have had threo horses killed under me
-but haven't been hit yet, except once
when a spent splinter of shell hit mo
on the shoulder blade which stung
like the mischief but only cut my
serge a little. That's the best of belniji
thin—tbey can't hit you.
The gas that tbe Germans used on
us at Ypres was fierce. If the dirty
slops hadn't used it we would have
wiped them off the face of the earth.
Say mother, you talk about it being murder to kill them, if you. saw our
hovs living along the voad, in thle
fields and ditches all torn to pieces, or
just dead or gasping for breath from
the teas you'd feel tlie same as we do.
that is to kill as many as we can. I
think we are going to give them some
of tlieir own back In tho shape of turpenlte, which freezes them stiff. We
call it French ice cream. When we
wero firing in the battle last Sunday
we were sending the little bills across
the hill that last that I had to open
the breach of tho ig.un with a fence
picket. sN'o doubt you have read a lot
about tbe .lack Johnsons. There is a
street in Ypres with a holo in It that
you could drive a wagon round the
bottom.
"It was at Hill «0 where wc were.
Tho Canadians certainly lost heavily
there We are out of the firing line to
-eorganize and are going into a reserve position tomorrow. Where we
were before they could shell us Irom
three sides. About ten of our boys
collapsed from nerves."

Those of Military Age Not Permitted

Consul Announces
(Special to The Daily News.)
TRAIL, B. C June 8.—The Italian
reservists here have not yet received
any word from the consul-general at
Montreal, but they are expecting to get
instructions by telegraph. D. Prior©
states that the Italian consul at San
Francisco has already received instructions as regards the reservists in
California and these are published in
full in the Italian newspaper there and
he cannot understand the delay in
notifying those in British Columbia.
As regards any Italians, other than
reservists, joining the Kootenay regiment, Mr, Priore has communicated
with the Montreal consul-general on
the subject, who replied in answer to
the telegram sent:
"It is impossible for any Italian who
has already served in our army in the
classes of the years 1875 to 1895 to
join any other nation's army in the
face of the Italian general mobilization and if they do so they are liable
to be considered as deserters." Mr.
Priore adds that any Italian who Is
not a reservist and wishes to Join the
Italian army must returs to Italy and
enlist there as according to the consul
at San Francisco there are no facilities
for recruiting Italians on this side.
The monthly meeting of the Trail

A VIVID ACCOUNT OF
CANADIAN SOLDIER'S LIFE
Letter From  L.  B, Reynolds, Nelson
Mining Engineer, Tells of Condi*
tions at the Front,
An interesting account or the daily
lifo of ono of the Canadians at tiio
front is contained in Hie following letter from L. 11. Reynolds, addressed to
■his mother in Wutisrford, Ont. Mr.
Reynolds is one of the eight mining
engineers who left Nelson last fall for
active service with the Hrllluli forces
in Flanders,   He writes:
"A Place in Belgium,
"April 20, 181-5.
"Wo have -had an exciting timo and
tho Canadians have certainly shown
thoir mettle, 1 told you lu a former
letter that I was astonished at tiio
Canadians being put on lhe flank of
the array, as it was so dangerous. The
Germans attacked with chlorine and
nitrous acid bombs on trenches hold
by Alhgcriaus -and tliey fled in terror.
We were in a billet directly behind and
half a mile from the French lines, on
the corner of a horseshoe held by the
British, the Canadians being next to
the French.  Cy and I wore having
a ig.ame of solitaire and watching the
German shells dropping about half a
mile to the east. About " p.m. they
started a terrific bombardment About
2:30 a dense cloud ot greenish yellow
smoke arose at the firing line on the
other sido of thc river.
"Tho shells started to drop closer
till they finally came over tho caiml.
We started to pack up niter five shells
had landed in so many minutes in our
billet. We marched out in fairly good
order to Brelm, where a taube dropped bom!b-3 at us. From there wo
went to the edge of I'lusuertiuo, where
we detrained. Our section went bade
after the rest of the supplies and wo
worked all night on the job. Wo
eould smell thc fearful smell ot the
-• -s
'The Canadian flank was exposed
and they boldly marched in to fill the
gap and hold the Germans. Eight
thousand Canadians held G4.000 Germans and saved the day, though thoy
suffered terrible losses. They were
forced to retreat, but wont forward
again and recaptured their guns.
Canadian Found Crucified.
'The British artillery attached to
the Canadians lost its iguns and the
Canadians retook tbem. The losses
aro tremendous, but many are only
slightly wouuded, of course. About 1)0
per ceut of tho wounded will be back
soon. One unit of engineers held 8(H)
yards of trench with only 22 men.
Many deeds of heroism were performed and so badly do the Oermans hate
us that when a certain village was recaptured a private of the Canadians
was found crucified with nails through
his hands and feet ou a church -door
with a bayonet in bis side, and Beware Canadians,' written underneath.
Our fellows more than avenged their
losses and are looked upon with pride
by their comrades, the British, than
whom no better soldiers, greater grumblers or better fighters exist.
The Gormaus aro interior in personnel, hut great In organization.
Every day we capture spies in our
lines with telephones and underground
wires, etc. Their aeroplanes-arc over
us daily, and their artHlory docs-terrible damage to the towns «»<» ^»l-*"»;
They shell the cross roads to catch
trains or supplies. After ibclug up all
night I went on duty on a bridge They
dropped 200 shells with aJ^"™
radius of the bridge Ir' »n« hour,Jbut I
did not got. struck, although a^piece_ot
he brldnge,toee were W*XS
were wounded so It was no bomb-proot
job, I can tell you. We got back to
our billot about 11 p.m., and bad something to out, tui-iKXl in «bP'tt I- 0'-»*>
und up again at 5 p.m., out all uight
until -1 a.m., and then went, to put up
sonic wire entanglements for some
Hrltish regiments. Tho Germans made
an attack just as we were ready to
come back, doing fifteen miles. And
so It !<roes. 1 got into a great dugout
I built yesterduy and slept fine last
night,
The fellows arc all behaving splendidly under fire.
The worst of It is. that, lhe infantry, artillery, etc.. can go back aud
get busy I'ightlii'g, Ibut wc engineers
just have to take It and keep carrying
on our work. The hardest Is when you
aro just watching. Our fuses were
about iu feet and our wires 130 feet,
yet eacli fuse was cut by a different
shell and our wire by another, aud
the big guns were not lu sight, anil to
stay there and tako that Is not easy.
Acid   Shells   Blinding.
They have a bis gun, 12 feet 8
inches, which has a shell five ls-ct long
ond will wreck several others. They
had three of these, but the Hrltish
have put two of them out of business.
This tbey call the Mack .lohnson.' and
it makes a dcuso cloud of smoke. They
have a smaller gun. too. probahly eight
inches, which is called the coul-hox on
jceoiint of Ilio donse cloud of black
smoke It makes. Then they have Ihe
0-lucli Uluck iMuria. All these arc explosive shells. Thoy ulso use a poisonous gas culled 'tetative' in lhe
Black Marias. The gas gets into jour
eyes and blinds you. Tho tears conic
when your eyes are closed and you
can't bear the pain if you open I hem.
It also niitkes your nose run. lt gets
down into tho trenches and dugouts
nnd bungs there, as lt is much heavier
than air. I was blinded by one of
these. A Hrltish regular took me lo
the water and washed my face aud
eyes and within 2tl minutes I could
see all right, but 1 suffered for hours
aud had a soro throat for several days.
They are beastly affairs. Then they
havo shrapnel, or shells full of bullets,
whicli burst and scatter: also shells
that make a terrible explosion, an Inner
shell containing guses OS ln thc case
of the Black Maria. Tho French 75
guns aro tho best lUgM gun to use, us
they ure very fast and entirely automatic. Our soldiers and tho Belgians
are better than the Germans, but the
latter havo bettor guns and more of
them, aud when we have more guns
and men we will win.
"The Canadians saved tlie day. It
lt had uot been for them tbo Germans
would have been tlirough, and Canada
can be proud indeed. It is hard luck
that thoy got into such a hole, but
thank God they fought it out und
showed the world what sort of stuff
they uie inudo of. This was tho biggest battlo of thc war and we will
win. Uvcryono knows we will, even
the Ccnnans."
CHURCH UNION FINDS

KINGSTON, Out., June 8.—Friends
of church union again secured a decisive voto In favor of their proposals

GASES IN WARFARE ARE
NOT SO FORMIDABLE
Their Uso Was Abandoned As Trans*
port Was Wasteful—No Match
For Big Guns
Col. l*\ IN. Minnie, C. B„ contributes
the fullowiiitf nrtlclG "Ou tho Uses of
Asphysiuiiim' Guses in Wur" to Land
und Water:
Thero seems some reason to fear
that tlie Brltisli press is about to
indulge in an outburst of hysterleal
mania and is attempting to rival its
German coutempomriea in the expression of hatred and disparagement. Tlie
nerve-storm lias been visibly ap-
proaehing Ior some timo and the .announcement that the Germans have
reverted to methods of asphyxiation
(one of tho oldest forms of offensive
ever employed in war), seems to have
precipitated a severe crisis.
In reality thoro is littlo cause for
either alarm or vituperation, for theso
ends generally defeat themselves in
practise. Experience has taught us
Hint, on the whole, we can produce
all the fire and smoke we need, together wilh man-killing' fragments, by
tho use of the shells we. all carry as-
part of our field equipment.
Smoke-shells, or carcases, special
incendiary sholls, Greek fire, stinkpots, and so forth havo long been
dropped out of all equipment lists because ilio transport they require can
be more usefully employed In bring-
iiig up tlie regulation projectiles,
shrapnel and high explosives.
It is childish to cry out against the
enemy for using theso improvised
methods. We should rather bo glad
that he wastes his efforts on means
tliat have heen proved of only local
and subsidiary application, and it
might with advantage be remembered
tliat if the alies cannot advance in
face of heavy fumes, neither ean the
enemy do so, and hy tho time tliey
(the gases) have cleared away, wc can
continue our forward movement quite
as expeditiously as our adversaries.
Protection  Against Gas
No doubt the allied troops ut the
front were surprised when they first
noticed yellow smoke issuing from
tiie enemy's trenches, but they will
uot. again be astonished, because they
know what this appearance indicates
aud a telephone message to tlie rear
will bring on the German troops,
massing for attack, tlie hail of shell
that has so often proved effective In
stopping their advance.
In days with a northeast wind blowing, qur troops will bo even mom thun
usually on the alert, for it is obvious
tliat fumes cannot be driven up against
the wind, and there aro several expedients well known to all firemon and
miners, civilians or soldiers, which can
lie adopted to enable men to work in
poisonous or asphyxiating gases. In
military mining, especially, such expedients must bo used, for when
working iu ground disturbed by heavy
explosives the fumes may cling to.it
for many hours.
Gases From All Shells
It is unfortunate, however, that these
elementary considerations, taught in
our text hooks as far back as I can
remember, should have been forgotten
by those who first made the statement and suggested an Infringement
of The Hague convention, for it leaves
us open to the samo churge of hypocrisy tliat we so often have hurled
against thc Germans.
- All shells, all fires, all mining
charges, give out asphyxiating gases,
und from some shells the fumes are
poisonous.
The use of these has been discussed for years, because the explosive
that liberates tho deadly gas fs said
to possess a quite unusual power; but
tho reason why many of theso types
wero not adopted was because they
were considered as- too dangerdus for
uur gunners and transport to handle,
not that when Ihey burst they would
have poisoned tho enemy.
At tho time this quality of dcudli-
ness wus defended on the ground of
humanity, as the death it inflicted
would be absolutely certain and painless, and henee there would be no
wounded.
In any case, at the beginning of this
war It was stated in all tlie French
papers that the difficulty of handling
these shells had been overcome uud
that tliey had heen employed on certain sectors of tlie French front with
admirable results.
When the time comes to defend
tlieir use, shall we really have the
effrontery to claim for our shells that
they poison but do not asphyxiate?
Moreover, is not poisoning also covered by The Hague convention.
In spirit, It undoubtedly is;  but as
I have not the text at hand to refJ
to, it may possibly leave a loop-hoi
on this question through which oif
International lawyers might escape.

BRITISH NAVALISM IS
NO MENACE TO WORLD
lion' Dernburg, the most plausible of
German apologists^ wlio has outlasted
his welcome In the United States and
who would have been on his way home
before now if only lie could have
secured a. safe-conduct from the British fleet which, he alleges, Is skltlklng
In Its harbors, has sought lo oppose the
charge nf militarism against Germany
with the chargfi oi "navnllsth" against
Great l-Jrllalti, pays the Toronto Mali
nd Empire. Tlm word coined by llerr
Dernburg or some of his associates Is
a new one. It was never heard of before the war begnn, hut It hns heen
so skillfully used hy Herr Dornhtirg
that il promises to have n. place in
the nexi dictionary. Jlerr Dernburg snid.
that the menace of Rritish navalism
is quite as great ns tlie menace of Oerman militarism, and intimated that
German militarism had been called into
being only to oppose Rritish nnvalism
If one thinks of militarism ns an army
and navnllsni as a. navy iliere is\ an
analogy. Germany has ibe greatest
army ever put in the field by any nation In history, Britain has tlie tireat-
esl navy. Dernburg, pressing homo
his arguments against nnvalism, soys
that the sens must be free, and thnt
one bf the objects of the present war,
as fnr as Germany is concerned, is to
remove the menace of British nnvalism.
Not a Menace
For one hundred years Ihe British
navy has had control of the seas. Our
song "Britannia, Rules the Waves,"
has been no empty invocation, Britannia does rule the waves. Britain
Is thc strongest naval power. .Should
any other powor dare to contest her
sovereignty If would be defeated.
Therefore British "naval ism'' is a
threat that inusi be challenged and defeated, according to the Germnn point
i.f view. Tn refer lo Durnhnrg's Culmination against, the British navy as
arguments would bo unduly to flatter
thom, bul the charge that British supremacy jit sea Is a menace in any
power Is answered ably by .lulleu S.
Corbett, In.'Hirer in history to the British War College, nnd a well known
naval historian. Me reviews the rise
of British nnvnlism.and shows tliat In
the hundred years and mnre in which
Britannia lias ruled ihe waxes she has
menaced nn small nation, and that her
sway litis heen invariably exercised in
the lulerosl oE freedom and liberty and
lho righl nf weak nations to fulfil their
destiny unhampered by lho influence
ai' their more powerful neighbors,
A Fight for Freedom
Britain was reengnls'.ed first ns n sea
power iu the sixteenth century, wheu
But.In attempted tn establish a "closed
aen-*' and rostrlcl ber colonies to dealing
with Spanish merchants alone. The
colonists desired to deal with others,
and it was Hawkins who fought to give
them the opportunity. Then followed
the groat Elizabethan war, which vindicated tbe right of. the Spanish colonists In do business whe.ro Ihey chose.
Thus tho first application of British
"navalism" was In favor of the weak
ngatnsi the strong, of lhe few against
the many. II was a blow for freedom
against depression. But in those days
it could nol he said that Britannia
ruled lhe waves, Thnt position was
only to follow tho Baltic of Trafalgar,
and even afler that; it was ten years
before the supremacy of the British
navy was universally conceded.
The Fight Againsli Napoleon
There is, as Mr. Corbett admits, one
dark pngo \n tho history that, records
the growth of British naval supremacy-
That; was written when tho British
navy seized the Danish navy. British
historians have profusely apologized
for the act. Yet upon that unauthorized usurpation of authority depended
the freedom of Europe. Ho planned
nnallinnoo ihat would have lefi Britain
rtlone in face him, and one of tho
knights in his game would have been
Control of ihe Baltic. Britain forstall-
ed him, and seized tbe Danish navy,
thus, closing the great northern sfai
againsi the Corslcan, and altering the
map or Fhiro'pe. At the end of the
struggle against Napoleon Britain was
virtually the conqueror of Denmark;
but did Britain act like a bonctuerer?
She handed hack to Denmark, what
she hnd seized In order Hint. It might
not have heen seized hy her enemy,
and today Britain and Denmark are
fast friends. At n Lime when British
"navnllsm" might have reduced Don-
mark to the status of a captured province the force was not applied.
Always for Freedom
Since thou, no flermau historian can
point in an instance when- tho sea
power nf the British Isles was used hi
;i manner hosiile to tbe development of
free institutions; It was used to end
ihe slave traffic. It has been used to
save Italy, Spnlu and Portugal from
the yoke nf militarism, Il was used in
IStiH to save (.aha. It has been used to
maintain ihe Monroe Doctrlno. Never
since the .lay of Sir John Hawkins has
ii been exerted agnhiRI a neutral or
smaller nation, except in the enso nt
Denmark, when it wns employed to defeat ihe ambitions of Napoleon, Pnr
one hundred years il has heen iiiuiues-
lloned, and I'm- lhe hundred years Hermans have been as free as Britons to
nntor ihe ports nf the world or sail
tin* oceans of the world. in other
words, tlie British navy has been, as
it were, an International police force,
thnt defended the weak against ihe
strong, u has threatened nobody,
when it had ihe power   to   threaten
many. Tlie neutral world will judge
It nn its record, rather than upon Its
possibilities as In tsrop resented by
Germnn npologlsts.

People   in   Switzerland   Fear  German
Invasion, Says^Mrs, Roth in Letter
to  Son  in   Nelson.
According to a letler recently received by W. Ro(h, of Nelson, from hia
mother In Switzerland, conditions In
that country owing to the war are very
had.   she says:
'"Dear Son—It pains me to have to
tell you litis, but hy tlie order of the
government. I am obliged to do it, lly
no means come home. [ have heen
waiting fo;- your home coining for nine
years, and now I have to tell you not
to come. As you have not had the
military training required you could
bo of little service to Ihe army aud
there is no time to last ready. And
on the other hand thero is no work
to be had aud business Is at a standstill on account of not getting any new
materials from the outside. Ilrend
(the staple food of the poorer classes)
has risen to three times lis usual
price. Black bread, the pooresl bread
there is, costs t. cents per pound, whilo
before the war white broad was only
',.% cents per pound. The government Is having a hard lime gotting
grain. Switzerland used to depend on
Austria and Russia for wheat. On
top of this wo do not know how soon
the Germans may invade our country
as they did 'Belgium, and tho incessant strain  Is almost unbearable.
Regarding Sw'tv.erland's position
should tlermauy vibrate her neutrality. Mr. Roth said:
"Switzerland resisted Hie efforts of
both Austria and Germany" to annex
her from tlie year Vim until the middle of the 18th century"; and it was
not until 1815 that her independence
was fully established by thc powers
in tlie treaty of Vienna. After 100
years of freedom Switzerland Is not
likely to allow Germany to invade
her territory, but will resist as did
Belgium, with every man and hoy capable of hearing arms. Rhe will say
to Germany, 'Am I a country, or am
I a road?'"

At a meeting of lhe trades and labor
council last night In Miners' Union hall,
tho secrotary was instructed to communicate with R. V. Green, member
for Knotenay, in reference to tho matter of selecting men from this district
to go to England ns laborers in tho

He will be asked for particulars ro-
gartltng the sort of men that aro required, and if thoy do not have to be
ikilled Inhnrers, ho will be requested
to bring pressure lo bear on tho authorities who hnve the mapping out of
tlie route of G. N. Barnes, the British
government agent, who will lie in Vancouver, to have blm malte a trip to

GREEN   BLOCK
KEPT HIS COMMAND
THOUGH BADLY HURT
Rev. Canon Scott, chaplain of tho
3rd Infantry brigade, has sent tho following description of how Capt. Wil-
frisl C. Brotherhood, 14th battalion,
Royal Montreal regiment, fell to hiB
sister, MrB. J. N. Woodcock. Toronto.
"It was In the trenches in that ter-
riblo attack whioh began on April 22.
A sholl burst near him, wounding him
very severely In tho back, and, I think,
giving him other wounds besides.
"In spite of his terrible condition
ho never thought of himself, but sat
there in the trench writing directions
for the men. It was a most gallant
sloed, and just what anyone who
knew him might have expected of him.
When the men had to retlro from the
tronch he was lying on the ground, too
ill to be moved, and had to bo left
there. What happened afterwards of
course no one can tell. From all I
can gather, and It is difficult to get
very coherent stories from the men, so
many have gone or been wounded, that
the ones who remain cannot recall
clearly what took placo, but from all
1 can gather thoro is very little hope
that Brotherhood's life was saved.
"I feel his loss particularly. He
was such a fine follow and one that
you could trust implicitly. Of course
there might be a chance of his having been taken prisoner by the Germans, and of his recovery, but from
all I can hear lt is not likely. It was
an awful struggle with overwhelming
masses of tho enomy, but our men
stuck to lt, and as Gen. Smlth-Dorrlen
said: 'Saved the wholo British line.'"
Judge Forin will leave this morning
for Von-couvef via tho Great Northern.
v"     WHY DO BIRDS MIGRATE?    <s>
<!> 9
VKtJM frfrfrfrj9&*3>frfrfr&frrt>frfr&&dfrS&<a
WASHINGTON. — Although North
American hlrds living in the colder
part of tho continent roturn south for
tho winter thero in no similar movo-
mont of iblrds from tho coldor toi the
warmer parts of South America, according to a bulletin (No. 185) of the
United Stastes department of agriculture. If tho fclnls of North America
did not go south during the winter they
would perish. Also if tho birds remained .in tho south later than tho
spring thero would bo an overcrowding, so tliey aro drawn northward
again by -the enormous summer supply of iblrd food. In South America,
on the contrary there are almost no
migratory land 'birds, ibecauso the
southern temperate latitudes, on account of thoir small area, offer no such
Inducements to tlie feathered inhabitants of tho limitless forests along the
Amazon.
The now pamphlet, wliich is entitled
"Bird-Migration" gives much information regarding tlie habits of tho migratory birds of North America. The
fact that tho routes of migration are
long and complex does not mean that
these routos wore so in tho beginning,
says the bullotln. In tlie early ages
flight was pri-Jbaibly short, easily accomplished and comparatively freo
from danger. Each lengthening of the
sxmrso was adopte-- T>ermanen-t!y only
after experience through rmmy generations had proved its advanstages.
There are some who argue that the
love of blrthplaco is the impulse which
causes; spring mfgiratloni amd theso
call asttention to the seeming impatience of tho earliest arrivals. Ducks and
geese push northward with tho beginning of open wator so early, so far
and so fast that many are caught
toy late storms amdi wander disconsolately over frozen poinds and rivers,
preferring to risk starvation rather
than retreat. Tho purple martins often
arrive at their nesting boxes so prematurely that th© cozy homo becomes
a tomb if a sleet storm sweeps their
winged food from the air. The iblue
bird's cheery warble we welcome as a
harbinger of spring, often only to find
later a -lifeless body in some shed or
outbuilding where tho bird sought shelter rather than return to tho sunny
la.nd so reoently loft.
It may bo safely stated that weather
in the winter home has nothing to do
with starting (birds on the spring migration, except in the case of a few,
llko some of the ducks and- geese,
which press northward as fast as open
water .appears. There is no appreciable
chango of temperature to warn the
hut-sires} or more species of our birds
which visit South America in wins!
that it is time to migrate. It must I
a force from within, a physiologio]
change warning them of the approas|
of tho breeding season, that imp
thom to spread their wings for
long flight.
Local wather conditions on tho '
of arrival at any stated ^ocallty
minor factors in determinir-g the ;
pearanco of a given specips at
place and time.   The major factors J
the problem are the weather oomd
tions far to tho southward., where tl
night's flight began and the relatlsl
which that place and time 'bear to t|
average  position  of the bird
normal weather conditions.   Many, I
not most, instances off orrivalss of birj
under adverse woather conditions i
probably explainable (by the supposj
tlon that the flight was begun ■
favorable auspices and that later t|
weather changed.
