MANCHKSTIDR, England, June 3.—
Declaring tho German victory im Galicia waa duo" to an, overwhelming su-
, periorlty in equipment and that if the
tannics in iho west had been as well
■equipped ttio German's would long ago
nave .been driven from Franco and
Belgium, David .Lloyd Georgo, new
minister of munitions, made a stirring
appeal tonight to employers nnd workmen to supply the British armies with
tho necessary munitions.
Tho speech was delivered before employers In -the engineering trades and
trado unionists. Mr. Lloyd George,
who had previously lunched, at the
{Clarendon club, received a remarkable
ovation from the people of Manchester which was in striking contrast to
tho manner in which he had been received in tho city on previous visits
of a "political nature, particularly when
he appeared at tho time of the Boer
wajr as an opponent of that struggle.
Fighting for Life.
I come,'' 'ho said, as an emissary ol
stato to carry the most urgent messago over told to the ears of a Manchester audience. Our country is fighting for its 'life, for the liberties of
■iBuropCs and upon what it docs, 'Upon
What it is prepared to sacrifice, depends tho issue. It depends moro upon
tho masters and men occupied in runf
iiin-g worlcshops than upon any part of

lonor, influence arid a mere fljorjd slave
3f cruel military tyranny, or whether
A will como out triumphant, free and
noro 'powerful than ever for good in
;ho affairs of men,
I -como hero to tell you tho truth.
Unless you know It you cannot be expected to make sacrifices. Our Rus-
dan allies lu>vo suffered a severe set-
jack. Tho German's have achieved a
, jreat success, not because of superior
•'d'lqr of their soldiers or strategy -of
.heir generals. Tho German main trl-
imph Is due entirely to superior oqui-p-
nont, on overwhelming superiority of
thot and shell and munitions and
equipment, u was a battle won by the
iso they made of their skilled indus-
rles an-d especially hy the superior organization of German workshops.

fenso of the Realm act, but they were
great and the committeo appointed
would find the powers helpful in- enabling it to organize quickly and get
rid of unnecessary difficulties, without
loss of time, ibut there were a few
who lagged behind and these would
havo to be Jogged up.
To what extent and direction the
moral duty of each citizen to give his
best to tho stato should be converted
into a lcga]»,duty was a question not
of principle hut of necessity, to be
decided from time to time as an emergency arose during the period of the
war. Theso questions, said tho minister, sprang up with great rapidity
and should be dealt with with decision
and iprom'ptlt'udo arid above all with
courage. Tho government which alone
knew the facts, must bo trusted.
'"I do not mind guillotining ministers,'' said Mr, Lloyd George, "but until
they reach tho scaffold Ihey ought to
be obeyed and, above all, do not unnerve them by sniping them from behind."
Conscription Only if Necessary.
Speaking of conscription he said:
"To Introduco compulsion as an important element iu organizing the resources of skilled industry and trade
does not necessarily mean conscription in tho ordinary sense of tho term.
Consoriptfor.i [means the raising .bl.v
compulsory methods of armies to fight
Great Britaiu't battles abroad. If the
necessity arose I am certain that no
man of any party would  protest.
Wo won our liberties in this land
on more than one occasion by compulsory sen-ice. France saved the liberty it won In the revolution by compulsory service. The great republic
to tho west won its independence and
saved its national existence by compulsory service and two of tho greatest
democratic countries In Europe today
Franco and itn'y, are defending their
national existence and 'liberties by
means of compulsory service.
"ft 'has been the greatest weapon In
the hands of democracy many times
for tho winning ami ■preservation of
freedom. All the same, it would be a
great mistake to resort to it unless it
s absolutely necessary."
Tho young men," continued the
minister, "have not refused to respond
in sufficient number to the appeals
made to Iheir patriotism and they arc
still coming In far ahead of the equip
ment for them and I havo no doubt
that they will keep well ahead of the
equipment.
"1 say to those who wish to dismiss conscription for the time being
as a means of levying armies for
fighting abroad, that they ought not
thereby to assume that compulsion is
unnecessary in enabling us to mobilize
the full strength of the country. Wo
wore the worst organized natlqp in the
world for this war, which showod that
we had nothing lo do with precipitating it. It is a war of munitions and
the government has decided that compulsory powers are essential to utilize
the resources of the country to the
best advantage. The work of the
country must come first because, unless it. does, there wfll bo no country
worth fighting for.
State Must Control Labor
"The employers aro now subject to
completo state control for industrial
purposes and If we are to make the
best of our resources for the shortening of tho wnr tho same purpose must
extend to the wholo fletd of industrial organization whether it be capital or labor. There must be one situation—tho control of labor must be under the control of the state.' '

done In France and Italy, Mr. Lloyd

Report  Is  Given  on  Weaker Presbyterian Churches to General Assembly at Kingston
(By Dally Nows Leased Wire.)
KINGSTON, Ont", Juno 3.—The
Presbyterian general assembly today
devoted the greater part of tho afternoon und the entire evening session to
the consideration ot the work In the
weaker churches which are under the
care oL the home mission committee,
of which Itev. A. S. Grant is thc chairman. Dr. Grant referred to the fact
that during the past year the denomination spent almost $500,000 In sustaining religious services in tho remoter parts of the country, an amount
greatly In oxcess of that expended in
any previous year. Thc actual amount
of money received during the year for
this purpose was only $854,974, leaving a deficit of $147,G32.
The deficit is largely due to tlie fact
that' a few years ago the church decided to increase the small remuneration paid tb Its representatives in the
mission districts. A deficit has occurred each year since this decision
was-reached.
J. H. Edmlson, secretary of the home
mission committee, stated that the
Canadian church had beeu much more
successful than the American Presbyterian church in dealing with tho
rural problems, in portions of tho
United States only t percent, of these
churches were supplied with ministers.

Attain Main Object of (.Treat Thrust Commenced Month;
Ago and Which Has Driven Russians Back
From Positions in Carpathians
USED TO MIN SHELLS ON
ITES: FORTS IRE OF LITTLE USE
LONDON, June 3,—With the capture
of Przemysl, which occurred at an
early hour this morning', the Austro-
German armies achieved the main object of the great thrust which they
commenced against the Russian lines
in western Galicia just a month ago
today. They have yet to drive the
Russians farther back and establish
themselves In easily defended positions
which will ennble them to detach
forces for operations against Italy and
the allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish this,
the Teutonic allies have won u great
victory, but at terrible cost and with a
suddenness whicli overshadows all past
operations of the war, It was only 10
week." ago ihat Przemysl fell to the
Russians after a siege of six months,
which was interrupted for a short timo
In November by an Austrian advance.
With the surrender of the fortress
there fell into Russian bands, according to official claims, 120,000 Austrians
and 600 guns and an immense amount
of war material. Most of the forts,
however, had been completely destroyed by the Austrlans before they surrendered, and tliis is considered in
military circles hero to account for tbe
fact that the fortress succumbed so
quickly io the Austro-German attack.
Teutons Had 1,000 Guns
When lho Russians captured Przemysl tliey were pressing the Austrians
noross the Carpathian passes. Then
Jlay '<i came the news of a great Aus-
tro-G.-niKii. thrust Into Galicia. Advancing slowly but surely and accompanied by u thousand guns, the Teutons compelled the Russians to fall
buck until the Russian line ran to Ihe
riffht bank of the river San. Crossing thc river ihe Austro-Germans
forced ihelr way to the north and south
of the fortress and Tuesday Berlin announced that three forts to the north
hnd been stormed, while Vienna slated
that the railway between Przemysl and
Lemberg was commanded by Austrian
guns.
Then; was Still hope In the allied
countries, however, that a. Russian
counter-offensive would hold the invaders off but this proved ill founded
and this morning the Russians had to
give up the city which early iu tiio war
had cost them so much to win.
of what booty tlie Austro-Germans
have eaptured with (lie fortress there
is no estimate, but It Is fairly certain
that tiio Russians, having lots of lime,
got away as many men and as much
material as possible and destroyed tho
guns und ammunition thnt remained.
It is not expected here that the victors will he satisfied with their gain
cf Przemysl but they doubtless will
endeavor to push on to Lemberg.
Russians Win Some Success
PJ3TROORAD,  June  2,  via  London,
Tunc  1. 3:2fj a.m.—Thc following official statement, was issued tonight:
The   battle    in    Galicia   continued
le 1 with tlie same desperation on
tho whole front from the Vistula to
tlie region of Nadwornn, On the left
bank Of tlie lower San our troops, after
powerful advance June 2, finally
pierced the enemy's lino and captured
m Important position which the enemy
had fortified in tlie region of llouny-
ick, where wo took about 1,000 prisoners and somo guns and numerous machine guns.
Our offensive  on   the whole   front
far as   the  mouth  of  the  Wlsloka
continues to develop successfully.
Admit  Lobs of  Przemysl
"As Przemysl, in view of the state
of its artillery and its works, which
were destroyed by tho Austrians before they surrendered, was regarded as
incapable of defending itself, its maintenance In oui* hands only served our
purpose until such time as our possession of positions surrounding tho
town on the northwest facilitated our
operations on the San.
"The enemy having captured Juros-
lau and Uadymno aud begun to spread
along the right bank of the river, tho
maintenance of theso positions forced
our troops to fight on an unequal and
difficult front, increasing it by about
24 miles and subjecting the troops occupying' these positions to concentrated
fire of tlie enemy's numerous guns."
Germans Stormed Last Position
VIENNA. June 3, via London.—The
following official statement was Issued tonight:
"In the Russian war theatre the German troops last night stormed the last
position on tbo north front of Przemysl
and entered tbc town at 3:30 o'clock
this morning from the norths,
"Our 10th corps entered the town
from thc west and south and reached ■
thc centre of the town soon after C
o'clock.
"Tlie importance of this success cannot yet be estimated.
"Thc attack of tlie allied troops in
the sector north of Stryj Is progressing successfully."

a coalition government at London.
"Le Toquet, Paris Plage, France,,
May 20.—This terrible war still goes
on," he writes, "and no sign yet when
it will end, though a good many peoplo
now say August. It'seems more terrible to us now that we have Canadian patients all the time and some
of them terribly wounded. During the
week following ihe battle of Ypres.
where our Canadian boys did so well
April S2-25i wc handled 1,370 transfer
patients through our hospital In seven
days, so you can understand we have
been terribly busy. We have titiO beds
and w©** have had 700 patients at one
time. We had thom all over the place
on stretchers. Just as soou as wc take
out thc bullets, set tiie fractures nnd
clean them up. we send them by hospital ships over to England. Tho
Canadian boys arc not anxious to go

just as often as possible we do keep
them."

Grow Corns
If You Will
But don't keep them
One can't well avoid corns
in these days of dainty shoes.
But it's folly to keep them, pare
them and doctor them.
A chemist has invented a way
toend corns quickly. It is known
as Blue-jay. Attach it and the
corn pain slops at once. Then a
bit of wax—called B & B wax—
loosens the corn very gently. In
two days the whole corn disappears without any pain or soreness.
It seems magical. Alter a
Bine-jay plaster is applied, the
shoe can't hurt the corn. After
48 hours there is no corn to hurt
Folks have proved this on
some 70 million corns. They arc
removing in this way a million
corns a month.
That's why corns are not
so common as they used to be.
Bhie-jay plasters came—folks
found them out—and half the
corns that grow today aro quickly
ended by them.

the lower houso has been assumed by
Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, Unionist,
who today put the time-honored question of the leader of the opposition as
to the course of 'business next week.
By the courtesy extended to privy
councillors Mr. Chaplin sat on the front
'bench oni the left, bf ithe speaker,
where he had as companions new and
old privy councillors, all known, supporters of the coalition.
•Behind them, however, was a tlittle
group of radicals which -will accept
nothing ibut a Liberal government and
which, as a token of its disapproval of
the coalition crossed the floor of the
house to seats from which it faced the
ministers and will ibe in a better position to cross-examine them. The
Nationalists retained their seats on
the opposition side where they are separated from all other parties and can
wajtch closely everything (connected
with Ireland. It is said that they are
prepared to make a fight as soon as
the government proposes to appoint
J. H. M. Campbell, unlomist member
for Dublin university, as (lord chancellor for Ireland.
Speak of   Italy's  Entry,
The proceedings la the house of lords
today wero confined to the first reading of th© bill relieving the new ministers from appealing for re-election
and to a few remarks by the Marquis
of Crewe anid Lord1 Lansdowne on the
entry of Italy into the war. These two
members, heretofore leaders of opposition parties, sat together on the government bench, the former us lord'
president of the council and the 'latter
as minister without portfolio. Facing
them from the opposition bench sat
Lord Sa-lisbury.
Sir -Stanley Buckmaster, new lord

he has not yet received his peerage

George said it might be dangerous to
depend entirely upon tho continuance
of present conditions.
"We have enlisted men," he said,
"who would have rendered better service at home. We needed compulsion
not to send men to the front but to
prevent them from going to the front.
We have been endeavoring to conduct
a war against the most formidable antagonist that hns ever attacked human
freedom with the ordinary untrained
weapons of peace, You may as well
send our men to face shrapnel and
howitzers armed with picks and
shovels as merely to go through the
war with the industrial army organized, equipped and armed with the ordinary shifts and experiments of
peace."
In closing his appeal to the employers and mon, he said:
"Stand by your country, now that it
has risked its honor, its life In the
greatest war of its history."
The    meeting    passed    a   resolution
pledging   to   support   in   every   way

■RESULT OF SHOOTING
(By Daily News Leased W.*re.)
VANCOUVER, B.C. June 3.—Frank
Gralo is dying in a hospital here and
Nick Gentile is in custody on a charge
which likely will be changed to murder. Gentile alleges that Gralo is a
Black Hand member and that they met
by appointment at False creek on business, though he refuses to say the nature of tho business. Whatever it was
guns were pulled and Gentile shot the
other man in tho centre of the forehead and afterwards gave himself up
to tho police. -When searching for the
body Gentile continued to mutter
"Black Hand" and stated that he did
the shootin« in self defense. Graio
came here May 24 from Calgary and
both men stopped at the same hotel.
Gralo will not live.

Thin men and women—that big,

night What became of all the fat-
producing nourishment it contained.
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce, That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open grate, The material was there,
but your food doesnft work and stick
and tho plain truth la you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost of cooking. This is
truo of thin folks thc world over. Your
nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation are sadly out of gear and
need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Omit tho flesh cream
rub-ons. Cut out everything but the
meals you are eating now and eat with
every -one of those a single Sargol
tablet In two weeks note th0 difference. Five to eight good solid pounds
of healthy, "stay there" fat should be
the net result.' Sargol charges your
weak, stagnant blood with million's
of fresh, new red blood corpuscles—
gives the blood tho carrying .power to
deliver every ounce of fat-making material In your food to every part of
your body. Sargol too, mixes with your
food Hnd prepares It for the .blood

iplo gain all the way from 10 to 25
pounds a month while taking Sargol

PETER NELSON
(Continued from Pns« OneO
up to tho spot whore the launch was
discovered but found no trace of his
friend. A search -party was then organized consisting of 20 men in charge
of Constable King which proceeded' up
the lalte yesterday morning taking with
them a dog [belonging to the deceased.
Dog Finds Bed/
Landing at the point the dog was
turned loose and almost immediately
took up the scent and led the party
directly to the thicket whore It found
the "body, hanging face downward the
hands and lower part resting upon
the ground. Nelson had evidently tied
the noose about 'his nock and then
thrown himself forward, thus strangling hy his own weight.
Near the scene of the tragedy several pieces of rope wore found, in
-which the destd man had made two
loops and it Is thought that bo found
them too light for his purpose aa they
were -broken In several places and that
he then returned to the launch and
removing the painter, returned and
completed the act with it.
A letter from a brother in Council
Bluffs, la,, and a small sum of money
were found in the clothing. But he
left Tso message of any "stlnd either at
his hotel or the scone of the tragedy.
Nelson was 65 years of age and was
born ln Aarhus, Denmark, coming to
this country when still a youth. He
first became associated with his part
ner, John Johnson, about 30 years ago
when they were in the hotel ibuslness
near Bulldog tunnel in the Boundary.
He was -unmarried and had no known
relatives with the exception of the
-brother who is on his way from Council Bluffs. The body was examined
by Dr. Vf. O. (Rose, coroner, who pronounced an inquest unnecessary. No
funeral arrangements will be made until the arrival the brother who is
expected in Nelson Saturday night.
FIRE THREATENS TO
WIPEOUT HOPE
Brigade   Succeed*   in   Saving   .Large
Buildings in Historic Town—Loss
About $35,000.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
VANCOUVER, B.C., June 3.—A fire
which for a time threatened to wipe
out the entire town of Hope started
early this morning and it was not
until 11 o'clock that the windi went
down and the danger to some of the
largest buildings in the town passed.
Hope is 80 miles cast of Vancouver,
near the entrance of the Fraser river
canyon. It -l'ies on the opposite side
of the river from that traversed hy
the Canadian Pacific railway while the
new Canadian Northern and Kettle
Valley lines have been built through
the town.
The fire started shortly after 6
o'clock this morning and swept away
a number of frame buildings. The Co-
quihalla hotel, Nichols' store, a picture
theatre and the Royal bank, which
were the most pretentious buildings of
tho place were saved1. The loss Is estimated at $35,000.
■No one was injured. The Eire started in the kitchen of the Busby restaurant and the buildings destroyed were
as follows:
Busby's restaurant, J. A. McDonald's poolroom, Mrs. McDonald's candy
storo, A. E. Rabb'a office, T, Martin's
poolroom and barber shop, D. S. Campbell's meat market, P. N. iRaymond's
grocery, Mrs. Stromgreen-'s restaurant,
N. P. "Woods' shoe store, Lafayette barber shop, Schwartz candy store, Martin's jewelry   store.
The volunteer fire brigade and the
citizens had to make a hard fight to
save the Empress hotel, the contents of
which were quickly moved out but finally the Indldlng was isolated from
the blaze without any damage -being
done,
Hope has long been an important
centre in the Fraser valley. More than
half a century ago it was a roaring
frontier town, lying almost at the nead
of navigation on the Fraser.

HAVE YOU A BAD SORE?
Dn so remember these facts—Zam-
Buk Is 'by far the most widely used
"balm In Canada. Why has it -become
so popular? Because -it heals sores,

claimed for it. Why not let lt heal
your sore?

of any animal fat or any mineral matter.   It is absolutely herbal.
Remember that Zam-Buk Is at the
same time healing, soothing and antiseptic. Kills poisons' Instantly and
all harmful germs. It is suitable alike
for recent injuries and diseases and
for chronic sores, ulcers, etc. Test

TURKS IN MESOPOTAMIA
FLEE BEFORE BRITISH
(By Dally Nows Leased Wire.)
LONDON, June  3.—An   account   of
the fighting between tho British and
Turkish,  forces In   Mesopotamia   was
given out officially as follows:
"After hoBtlle columns which recently threatened us on the lines of
the Euphrates and Karum rivers had
beon successfully dispersed, as described In previous communications, a
combined naval and military attack
was organized the morning of May 31
against the remaining hostile forces
ln the position a couple of miles north
of Ksirisss.
"Starting at 1:30 a.m. our troops,
partly by wading, partly by boats, successfully executed a turning mvement.
The enemy's guns were soon silenced
by our artillery. Excellent practise
was made by naval guns and by a territorial battery which was especially
conspicuous.   The heights occupied by
the Turks were seized by noon and
the enemy fled, leaving three 16-
pounders, completo with ammunition
and nearly 250 prisoners in our hands.
"After harmlessly exploding several
heavily charged mines of the Turks,
we continued our advance on June 1
but found that the enemy had hastily
evacuated its camps at Barhan and
Ratta, leaving a number of tents
standing. They were observed retreating ln Bteamers, which were
speedily pursued by the naval flotilla.
"By evening we reached a point five
miles north of Ezras Tomb, somo 33
miles north of Kurna,
"The Turkish steamer Bulbul was
overtaken and sunk. We also captured two large lighters. One contained
three field guns, ammunition, mines
and about 300 prisoners. The pursuit
was continued by moonlight.
"Our casualties have been trifling,
about 20 In-tall,"

Held  at   Rossland—New Train
Service Considered Inconvenient
(Special to Tho Dally News.)
TRAIL, B. C, June 3.—As the Trail
recruits arc being trained in Rossland,
it ha8 heen difficult to arrange for a
farewell gathering here for them.
However, the Trail Rifle association
states that a special train has been
arranged for tomorrow at 6:15 p.m.
from Trail for Rossland, where a large
farewell meeting is to he held to say
good-bye to the recruits from both
cities. It is expected that a large
number of Trail citizens will avail
themselves of this opportunity to give
the boys a good send-off.
The alteration in the train service is
considered extremely Inconvenient as
the mall and newspapers do not now
arrive here until 2 o'clock In the afternoon, instead of 11 a.m. as formerly.
Visitors from here to Rossland for the
day now have only two hours in that
city instead of five.

Puny Children
are generally tho victims of wrong diet.   They ma/ eat enough, but
it'a the wrong kind of food.
If your boy or girl don't thrivo—don't gain and grow in physical
and mental strength, it's a good thing to change food and start the
child on a regular morning dish of
Grape-Nuts

Thousands of parents who have tried this wholesome, appetising
food have seen their youngsters grow strong, rosy and olesr-eysd.

|PRZEMYSL    SHOWS    WISDOM    OF
JOFFRE'S   STRATEGY.
The fall of Przomysl is a victory
Ifor tho (fei-manic. nllies over the Rus-
IslanR which is of considerably moro
llmportniico than Uio capture of the
■ fortress (from  the  Austrians  a  few
■ weeks ago.   Tho victory for the Ten-
■ tonic forces has conie nt a time when
lits moral effect upon Uuniiiniuand Bul-
lgnrla ansl possibly Greece Is likely to
(ibe of considerable advantage to the
lenemies of the triple entente and
|ltaly.    -
If. demonstrates once nsain the onor-
|mous military powor whicli the Ger-
ls and Austrians are still able to
concentrate at a given point along the
Ibattlo lines without dangerously weak*.
|ening their front, in other sectors.
Nothing could illustrate more clenr-
Ijy Ihe wisslom of tin* "attrition" pol-
llcy of the sillies in the western arena

Iremly suit any lime lo frustrate tremeu-
Idous efforts to advance such sis have
Ibeen mado hy tlie Csermans at. Ypres
| and other points.
Tho time 1.0 advance nnsl to throw

lly weakened to remove the danger sif

lhas just taken placo in (lalioin. or
I when a liugo supply of high explosive.
Ishells  has  bee nacoumiilatefl,

The Ledger says there is uo proof
that Germany was consulted hy Austria before the ultimatum was sent.
Docs not the Ledger know that Germany -prepared Tor mobilization, if It
had not already commenced it, before
tho note wns sent to Servia; that Germans in British dominions were notifies! before tlto Austrian ultimatum
was sent, to remove iheir money to
neutral countries; tliat Germany, even
if its own story of Ihe negotiations is
accepted, made no effort lo influence
Austria against war, tliat there is evidence in abundance of weoks of prep-
ir.'ilion ia anticipation sif Ihe rusb of
lis* German armies through Belgium;
that Germany Itself extended the zone
f the etvuggile by declaring war on
Russia?
Of course Germany anil Austria
have mil. -published a verbatim report,
of llie discussion's of their diplomatists
or facsimiles of lite notes between the
two countries wliich would expose the
diabolical plot, hatched .-it the Wilhelm-

There is something humorous In the
official -report sent hy a United Slates
consul who was commissioned to inquire Into and report on a recent mutiny at the Canadian internment camp
at Port Henry, near Kingston.
When tho Germans und Austrians
there revolted and attempted io overpower tholr guards they wero mot
with a display of cold; steel and subsided. The German govern ment,
through its embassy at Washington,
asked Uncle Sam to investigate, thc
belief evidently being- that the Canadians in charge of Fort Henry were
treating the -iuternod allies shamefully
to have induced.; them to ninthly. So
lho United states consul tn Kingston
was  instructed to investigate.
Ho did so, and now reports to this
government that theso aliens are being well ifoci -and well housed; also ho
adds the suggestion that. ii. would- Iks
hotter for them if they were required to do'a little bard- work, and that
the loaders of the uprising should be
punished.
Of course this is not the sort of
report tho German embassy wanted.
They were looking for a. cause of -troublo at the embassy, and wil Ibe disappointed: because it. does not appear.
However, we oro not, very much interested In the feelings of ihe German
officials at. ihe Wasliingtou embassy,
and find the investigator's reji-ovt. interesting from the -fact of its suggestion that the able-bodied men or the
enmp should he set. at work. With
ihat we thoroughly agree.

EMBEZZLER DIES POOR.       '»
V promlnenl lawyer aud lianker of
t'llii-ago, ttlio tied thai city in UH.l,
afler having embezzled $'u'(i,riOO (ront
clients and depositors, whicli he declared he had lost, hi gambling, died a
charity patient iu tin- tuberculosis
ward of the county hospital in Chicago, .lust before he died he revealed
bis Identity 10 a nurse and said.: "Tell
my old friends I paid for my folly
wilh my life. The money did me no
good."
It makes no difference where or
how Hio money went: the attempt Us
et. something for nothing always
proves a raiture, "Easy come, easy
goes" is a true old saying.
The accumulation on money requires
far mors- than mere acquisition of it.
.Thousands of men mako lots of money
and have very litile. Thousands ot
others make vory litile. bin. manage to
mnko ii multiply into considerable.
A Inn kit wilh a. holo in lis bottom
may he filled with water repeatedly,
but soon goes empty again, while. 11
light bucket may stay filled even from
ordinary rainfalls.
And. afls'r all, the pleasure in money
lies not. iu its (possession so much as
in its accumulation, it. is lbs' joy In
Hie game of making ii. of planning
enterprise, sif giving oneself ts, it, and
ss.elug il. work out favoralilliy.
There Is direction connection lie*
tween stealing nnd pauperism. Both
grow out of failure to properly appro,
dale iho right purposes of property;.
II is lust as natural. -Just as much
accordance with rule, tor a thle"
to become pauperized as it is for 1
pauper to steal.
The man in. position io embezzle
$11111,11011 and embezzled it. rolslieit himself most of all. He robbed himself
of standing, public confidence, friends,
Belf-rertpeot and all chance to live a
wholesome, happy life. What greater
loss eould be suffered."—Montreal

BIG LEAGUE BALI
TAKES HER
Wise Ones Are Being Puzzled by the
Dally Performance of Teams
This Year.
The major league baseball season Is
a long time getting settled, writes a
-well known eastern scribe. The dope
is turning flip flops, batters who never
could hit are way up, teams that are
notoriously weak at bat are near the
top, strong hose -running teams are
far down the list, weak fielding teams
are among the leaders In fielding.
There is Pat Moran's Phillies, who
have beeu leading practically all year,
last In fielding and next to last in
batting and base running, whioh
shows pretty conclusively that pitching alone has kept them up In the
race.
The Chicago White Sox, the alleged
"hitless wonders," second in hatting
and Washington, which we Feared
lacked the fielding steadiness to win,
leading the American league in fielding and the Yankees, who looked good
in -fielding, |base running andi in
pitching, hitting within a few points
of the alleged slugging clubbs, and the
Athletics, supposed to be crippled in
batting strength, ranking third.
Imagine Pittsburg's Federals leading their league ln fielding! Add tho
Orioles, down in last place and still
third in batting strength.
From the dope of the first month
and a half of the season It Is evident
there are going to be some startling
changes in the standing of the clubs
If the weather ever settles down to
business. The clubs are not going on
form. Chicago's Cubs have surprised
themselves. The team Is hitting some
15 points above Its real gait, and the
pitchers are going stronger than they
will later.
New York Is just starting, and is
showing a lot of Improvement which
ought to continue when the cripples
get back into the lineup.
The Boston Braves have suffered a
lot through the absence of Evers. With
Evers thero the team probably would
even now be out In front.
In the American league Detroit's hid
seems real. The steam Is playing a lot
of baseball, and getting fair pitching.
Whilo the White Sox now are regarded as the Boston Red Sox most dangerous competitor the Chicago bunch
has been winning on wonderful pitching rather than on good hall playing
and If this continues, Detroit's hitting power will tell.
The Red Sox are awakening to the
fact that they will have to hustle to
get hy with the pennant. The team
has heen very slow getting going and
all has not been harmonious. Gardner's illness has been a heavy handicap.
The Yankees have kept   hustling,

STEEL LEADS STOCK
War Specialties Not Conspicuous but
Some   Make  Good Gains—Steel
Wins Case.
NEW YORK, .June 3.—In its constant
strength and Increasing breadth today's stock market .served as a striking reminder of the daily sessions
which accompanied the memorable advance of lust March and April, Trading did not attain the largo proportions of that period but was of sufficient extent to make the movement
noteworthy.
United States Steel led the advance,
dealings in that stock aggregating-190,-
000 shares or 25 per -cent of the whole.
Coppers were next In favor with average grains of li to 3 points on a largo
joint 'turnover. War specialties were
comparatively inconspicuous uithough
advances in that group were of a substantial dharalcter, the same being
truo of the automobile shares und
other Issues having no speciul classification. General motors mnde the
■greatest gain of any specialty, advancing 10:Ji points. Half a score of
tho railroad stocks, mainly those In
the 'International! list,, 'Host* 1 'Ho 3
points, but tho demand for these Issues wore  relatively light.
The advance in Steel to 59-^, Its
best quotation since the 'beginning of
the strained relations between* this
■country and Germany was mado the
occasion of much gossip und -conjec-
ture. It is known that tho corporation's output has increasod during the
ipasttwo weeks und this favorablo condition Is expected to show in the May
tonnage figures to bo Issued a week
from today. Not until tho close of the
market was It learned that tho Steel
-corporation had won its suit brought
against It by the federal government.
Tho further rise in the -copper group
was 'traceable to a number of specific
causes, Including the greater demand
for the metal at high prices. Moreover It is argued tliat tho new turn in
the Mexican situation is calculated
'to work to tho -advantage of tlie many
largo producing and .smelting companies which huve large property interests In  the southerni republic.
Many of tho day's hlgh"st quotations
wero made in tiio final .hour, closing
prices showing no material recessions
■from tho level despite considerable profit taking.
Another feature oi* tho day was the
decline ln time loans to the lowest
rates since April.  11*11.
Sixty and ninety day loans were reduced to 2MtPer cent for six months,
to 3 per -cent for over and to 3*/j per
cent for year loans.
Bonds wero strong, with a more
general demand. Total sales, par
value, $3,122,000. United States COUpon
■is declined -J& tier cent on call.

WANTS   MATCH   WITH
DURNAN FOR TITLE
All hope of a match for the American professional sculling championship between Eddie Durnan of Toronto, the title holder, and Prank Hagey
of Australia, has been abandoned, says
a Tarkmto excluuiige. Jimmy >Rice,
the former Toronto oarsman, who is
now coaching the Columbia crews, advises Durnan from New York that
Hagney does not mean business.
On the same mail that brought the
foregoing information there came to
Durnan a communication from Pay-
son Davidson, formerly of Toronto,
now of St. Paul, Minn. Davidson is
a brother of Harley Davidson, the
former ibkycle rider and skater. He
wants to know whether Durnan will
consider an offer to row an unnamed
oarsman for the American title. No
particulars are given but Durnan
stated last night that he was ready to
considerable any reasonable kind of
offer. He had been training daily in
Ihe hope of a match with Hagney.

if  the  terms  are satisfactory.
With no county cricket being played this summer and all athletic events
abandoned during the war, English
sport has reached the lowest ebb on
record.

UNEMPLOYED  QUESTION   IS
STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, June 3.—It is understood
that no decision has been arrived at
>ot hy the government hi regard to
the request of western mayors for the
appointment of a commission to co-
oporalo with 'tlm provincial and municipal authorities in regard to unemployed conditions in Canada. It is said
tliat the matter has i,een considered at
a couple of sittings uf the 'cabinet but
no definite dcclsio has heen reached.
As has already been intimated, cooperation between tho departments
most vitally corjeernej wilh tho problem of unemployment mid the provln-
■eial and municipal authorities is likely even if a commission is not appointed, lt is stated that In so far us
the present year is concerned ut least
tho proposal to put unemployed on 40-
acre farms did not meet with much
favor in official circles. They point
out that, they could not be placed on
prairie lauds this year in time to
do any breaking and they would have
to bo maintained for practically two
years before they could raise a crop.

OBJECT TO NEW SERVICE
OF CANADIAN  PACIFIC
Kaslo People Accuse Company of Bad
Faith—Say Connections Aro
Not Mado
Objections lo the new schedule of
tho Canadian Pacific railway are
voiced In the following article in tho
Kaslo Koolcnulan:
"Tho Canadian Pacific railway's
summer schedule went into effect on
Sunday and as far as the Kootenay
lake service works out, there appears
to be good ground for some of tho
kicking that is being indulged In here.
"Some of the people who were most
emphatically tn favor of seeing tho
change made arc tho biggest kicker.1
now that it has been effected.
"Tliey aro kicking chiefly because of
alleged bad faith on the part of the
Canadian Pacific railway in promising
connections by tho Kokanee with tin
Crow bout east and west, said connec
tions not having so far materialized to
any great extent.
"On Monday morning the Kokanee
could have connected with the Kuska-
nnuk had there been passengers ti
transfer, but there being none no con
uectlon' was made. Connection, was
made at Proctor on Monday night,
On Tuesday morning the Kuskanook
was low down on tlie southern horizon when the Kokanee reached beyond
Pilot bay, and the latter boat had
passengers who wished to catch the
Crnw boat. On Tuesday night the
Kokanee passed Proctor north bound
some little time before the arrival of
the Kuskanook at that point.
"As it looks at present tho only
days one can be sure of malting the
Crow line connection is on Monday
and Friday, when, on account of tho
Kokanee making the Crawford bay
run, the two boats cannot very well
help coming together, if they happen
tp be reasonably within schedule
time.
This state uf affairs, if continued.
likely to prove must unsatisfactory, as not only were verbal ossur-
nices given by the railway people
that through connections would be
made, but a written assurance was
given as well, and it was upon such
assurances that many here were led
lo vote favorably upon the proposed
change, notwithstanding the fact that
otherwise it presents many incouvcnl
ences and disadvantages as compared
to the schedule ln effect prior to thc
30th.
"IL i.s evident that wo have been
worked for !t sucker again,' stormed
one man on Tuesday night. 'Wo got
uur eastern mail eight to 1- hours
later than before and we do not got
what wo want iu tliis Crow line connection, wliich was promised.'
'"Yes," said another, 'when I desire
tu go to Ainswortli or any point south
1 must get. UP at G o'clock. I could
forgive that if this connection was
made and could be depended on, but
now when I want to go to Spokane or
cast, I must not only get up at C
o'clock but most likely will have to
stay nearly ill hours in Proctor or
Nelson, and I would Just as soon stop
in Gehenna.   It's a pretty raw deal.'
"Most of those hero who voted in
favor of thc change now wished that
they hadn't but regrets in this case
are useless and any way 1C it affords
them such, there may perhaps be a
little satisfaction in thc reflection that
the railway would most likely have
made the change any way, no mattor
what the majority verdict bad been/
J. Ames Stewart, Ex-Employee of City
power Plant, at Front, Was
Safe on May 14.
..Although it-was reporied Unit ho
had been killed in action early in May,
a letter received by H. P. Thomas,
city electrical engineer, goes to show
that, James Stewart, au electrician,
who was employed in the city power
plant at illonninglon falls, who went
to Quehec ami Micro jointed Ilic rein-
forcemeats of the Princess Pats, was
well, and uiiWOluided on May 14, on
which day ho'wrote as follows:
"No doubt you have heard of tho
stand our regiment* made, although
there aro only a few of us left to tell
the tale. We were holding a trench
or about 100 yards frontage/. The
Germans began shelling us with all
kinds of guns; in fact it fairly rained steel and lead. It is estimated by
our artillery thai thoy must have fired
70,000 shells oi our trenches. The explosions fairly lifted our trenehes out
of the ground. Our poor regiment
suffered terribly as our roll call afterward showed, but thank God, they did
not get. our trench. The enemy figured that after they had finished shelling us1, wo were all gone, and got a big
surprise when they found a few alive
—enough to hold the trench.
"The Germans must, have suffered heavy losses, as we were firing at
close range, and they could not press
their attack home. While the shelling lasted, a matter of a few hours,
it was worse than all hell lot loose.
I saw trees two fact in thickness cut
down like grass by the shells. I had
my rifle smashed, but there were plenty of dead's men's guns about. It was
an awful experience. When a big
shell buret near, one felt as though ho
were stunned1.
"We also had a taste of their gas,
but the wind favored us and it did not
do any damn ye. except to make our
eyes smart a little. The commander in
chief sent a message or praise to tho
regiment for the great stand we made.
At present we are a couple or miles
from the firing'line. We* will have
to reorganize I suppose, as we are
now not a company strong, and wo
will want, a Tew days to get our nerves
back again.
"By.eryonc thought we were wiped
out to a man, and It is a wonder we
wero not. But, thank God, we kept tlie
old flag flying and put another crimp
in old 'Fritz.'"
The writer is a soldier of much
experience. His record shows that he
served at Chiitral, India, in 181*5, with
tho expedition Which was sent to relieve the British residents who were
besolgbd bv the natives in that city;
and in l8f)9-92 with the King's Royal
rlrios in the Poor war.
