OTTAWA, j»n, 7—Scenes of wild
disorder marked the reopening this
morning of the Guigues school in this
city,1 the storm centre in the trouble
between French-Canadian ratepayers
and the commission appointed by the
Ontario, government to administer the
separate schools In tl.e place of the
deposed- school board.
The two Misses Lesloges, the teachers, formerly employed at the Guigues
school by -tho: old separate school
board, who were deemed Ineligible and
dismissed by" the commission, were
again placed at the heads of their old
classes by the opponents of the government, commission.

men and women 'overpowered three po»
lice officers and rushed tho buildings.
Police reserves wore called and 30 men
responded, but in the meantime the
crowd was in possession of the school,
The officers, finaly withdrew and }oft
them there. No force was resorted to.
The excited assemblage was. addressed
.by Artbpr Oharbonnau, French representative on the government commission, who explained his attitude and
declared that there seemed nothing for
iilm to dp but resign.
"I think there will be a regular rew
down there," said Hon.. Howard Ferguson, • acting minister'of education,
referring to the Ottawa sohool trouble.

back up the commission to the limit."
Dennis Murphy, chairman of the Ontario, government's separate school
commission, after the trouble at

was most unfortunate. The commission, he said, had not been quite prepared for the happenings of the day.
Asked wha,t the next move ef the commissioners would be, Mr. Murphy said
that they would be guided entirely by
the advice of the Ontario government

on the Bessarahlan front is conveyed
by petrograd despatches today which
state that the Russians for 50 hours
concentrated 400 guns on the Austrian
position at Czernowltz as a preparation
for an infantry ataok. The Russian
communications do not claim that
Czernowltz has fallen, but despatches
from German sources admit the poal-!
tlon  there  is  critical,   .
It is not clear whether the Russian
operations in this theatre herald a big
general offensive movement of all the
Russian"armies from the Battle to the
Rumanian frontier, or merely indicate.
a diversion of unparalleled magnitude
and fierceness, designed to weaken the
pressure of the central powers in the
Balkans, and incidentally on the Italian
front.
The fighting, lum been of the most
bitter character,, according to both the
Austrian and Russian' reports. Few
prisoners are being taken and the infantry engagements are largely In.the
nature of band to hand'encounters.
All the Russian operations thus far
revealed are being pressed along the

MANITOBA HOUSE MAY
ADMIT WOMEN MEMBER0
WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 7.—If the doubt implies recognition of its right
to choose its own representatives.
It is pointed out, however, that tho
enfranchisement of the women wll not
in itself, remove their present dlsquaU
lflcation for election to the houfle. The
election act defines the qualifications
required of candidates, and among
them It Is required. that ■ they shajj
be of the male sex. in order to udmit
women to the house the statutes would
have tp be amended, redefining ths;
qualifications of candidates.
More than one cabinet minister, it if
believed, holds the view that the enfranchisement of women must bring; in
its train the speedy abolition of aU die*
crlminatnions against them; ,
women of Manitoba, after getting the
vote, want to elect members of their
own sex to the legislature they will bo
free to do so. This opinion was expressed today in government cir6les.
It Ih known that the government has
'MNldfred the problem, and the statement was. made this morning that a
decision has been reached. Tho government Is prepared, it is reported, to
pass the necessary legislation should (
the women express a desire to have
women representatives in the house.
There has been ns yet no formal representation to this effect.

with Sheriff Uinstead, regarding the
disposition of troops, which are expected to arrive here later in the morning.
Culmination of Strike.
The trouble was the culmination of
a strike of laborers whU-b began at
the plant of the Republic Iron & Steel
company a week ago and spread to the
plants of ttio Tube company, the
Youngstown Iron & Steel company and
tho Briar BUI Steel' company.
The men demanded 26 cents an hour,
tho companies offering an increaso
from 19 to 22 cents an hour. Tho
trouble started early this morning
when strike sympathizers and workers
at the tube plant clashed. Stones were
thrown and several shots were fired,
but no one was injured, later in the
day a riot occurred juBt outside tho
Tube -company plant and two men were
injured so badly that they wero taken
to a hospital.
The most serious trouble started tonight when the day shift at the Tube
mills left work. A'crowd of 6000 gathered at the entrance of the works and
stoned a squad of private police in
charge of TVoltz of the Tube company
forces.
Firing Becomes General.
According to thoystutemout made by
Woltz he fired a blank shot In tho air
to scare tho crowd, and then firing
became general. Nineteen persons in
the -crowd wero wounded, following
which the mob, frenzied, surged into
tho East Youngstown buslncs sdlstrlct
and set fire to several buildings; ' As
the torch was applied, first to a clothi-
ing store and then a Jewelry store, the
loting began. A saloon was fired'iijind
looted, the liquor being distributed to
tiie crowd.,
Tho Youngstown fire department
went to the scene of the firo but was
driven off'by tho crowds, The East
Youngstown department also attempt
ed to check the 'blaze but the hose was
cut and the firemen driven away. Tho
flames were quickly beyond1 control
uf tho firemen and at a late hour was
still beyond control.
Militia Called Out.
Governor Williams ordered tho 5th
regiment, with headquarters at Cleveland and the 8th regiment, with headquarters at Bucyrus, to this city. The
4th regiment, at Columbus, was ordered to mobilize and move to the scene
of the trouble. The first man killed
was fatally shot while attempting to
loot a store in East Youngstown. Home
one insido the store fired the shot.

WHAT CAUSES CUDS?
This question is asked every day.
A cold, is^ really ay fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
Scotfs Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more—
builds strength to prevent sickness.
Scott's Emulsion contains Nature's
rare strength-building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. It is free from harmful
drugs. Sold at drug stores—always
get the genuine.

OF INDIGESTION OR

Instant relief! "Pape's Dis-
pepsin" ends your stomach
trouble forever
Wonder what upset pour stonmch-
Which portion of tho food did the dam-
ago—do you? TVoll, don't ibothcr. If
your stomach is In a revolt; If sour,
gassy and upset, and what you just
ato has fermented into stubborn lumps;
head dizzy and aches; .belch gases
and acids and eructate undigested
food; breath foul, tongue coatod—just
take a little Pape's Diapepsin and in
five minutes you wonder what'v'be-
camo of tho indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it Is needless to havo a bad
stomach. A little Diapeiwln occasionally keops this delicate organ regulated and they cut their favorite foods
without  fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion;
if your food is a damage instead of a?
holp, remember the quickest, surest
most harmless relief is rape's Diapepsin which costs only fifty cents for
a large case at drug stores. It's truly
wonderful—It digests food and sots
things straight, so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing. ' Please,
for your sake, don't go on and on
with a weak/disordered stomach; it's
so  unnecessary.
Von Berhstorff, the <3ermo.h ambassador. 3Jhe secretary immediately sent
theni to President Wilson.
Official Washington tonight considered that the United States and Germany at last ryvel'o near a final agreement regarding the conduct of submarine warfare. Officials made no attempt to conceal their gratification at
tho attitude Germany apparently had
assumed. It was considered to he virtually in harmony -with the American
viewpoint,    h
Tension regarding the entire submarine question'seemed to have lessened
considerably. Austria, in its reply to
the hist Aueona note having assured
the United States of its intention to
operate submarines "With due regard
for international law and the principles of humanity, Turkey and Bulgaria, it is understood, will next take
steps to give such guarantees. It is
stated authoritatively that Germany
mid Austria will use.their influence
to accomplish this end. Tho-Lusitania
controversy, except tor the wording
of the agreement to be.entered into, Is
considered In Teuton^ circles here as
virtually ended. j ..
Under tho terms of the proposal
submitted for the approval of the United States, Germany, while offering to
pay an Indemnity makes the reservation that no admission of wrong doing
thereby is involved. It is contended
that tho Lusitania was sunk as an act
of reprisal for the British blockade of
Germany;. While Secretary Lansing is
understood not to have indicated to
Count Von'Bernstorff whether tho pro.
posal was satisfactory a number of
officials in a position to be familiar
with the American attitude indicated
that it. would be accepted. The assurances regarding the conduct of submarine warfare in the Mediterranean,
obviously prompted iby tho sinking of
the passenger steamer "Persia with a
loss of two American lives, are much
broader In their scope than the promises made after the Lusitanla disaster,
covering the operations of the' submarines in the North sea and adjacent
waters. Tiie letter guaranteed only
that "liners" should be immune train
attack without warning. The assurances regarding the afeditorranoSn
operation includes privately owned
ships of every character, freight as
well as -passenger vessels, provided, of
course, they, do not attempt to escape
or offer resistance.

Junius H. Sch'ofield, M.F.'P. (or Trail,
who viBltcd the city last night and attended the hookey game Is well pleased
with the present and, future outlook at
Trail.
He states that at the present time
tho city, has ,a payroll of 1200 mon,
calling for a jnonthly expenditure of
over $1<M);000. Although, ho says, money
Is free and'a .number of men of all
olusses Irve^been atrtacted to the city
In tho past throe, tha law aljldiugncss
of tho community is vouched for 'by
tho fact that in that period thcro havo
been hut two cases in the police court
and those of such a minor character
that ho had forgotten what tho delin.
quentB had been charged with.
'Many people feel that, In view of
the number of men on the (payroll who
are doing 'construction work, there will
be a lessening oj activities after.their
work is completed,", said,Mr. Schofield,
"but it must .bo rememberod that following thp mon" engaged in construction wonk will come the crows to fill
the buildings that they have been constructing." There Is no doubt, he said,
that ere long the new xiiic plant at
tho smelter will be working three shifts
a day., and'that'will more than make
up for the exodus of the gangs of construction men; ■
Trail's future Is bright," Jlo concluded.. ."Wo all have.some money, enough
for our needs and a,littlo tilt more and
the man who has not been In the city
for a month would .be much surprised
If he could see It today." Mr. Schofield returned on the special train that
took the team and Its rooters back to

E OF SEASON TO TRAIL STARS
The fastest and best game of the
West Kootenay season waH the verdict returned on the game that was
playe'd last night at the local rink between Nelson aha Trail. The lee was
in good condition nnd the many fans
that were present were keyed up so
that what nofce was larking from the
band was forthcorrimg from them. Ail
the way through, the game was ^ell
played by both septets, which exhibit*,

a couple of months, administered such
a severe punishment that, for- pure

as a token of defeat. This was in the

helpless and hanging on' the ropes, was

his object.. '■

able cures effected by Dr. Cassell's Tablets, ami having personally
investigated the same, I am now in a position to state that, as a
safe and reliable remedy for loss of flesh Snd vigour, nerve
affections and bodily weakness induced by deficient assimilation
■of beneficial food products, Dr. Cassell's Tablets appear to bft
unique, an^I have no hesitation in recommending the same as a
really trustworthy household remedy for young or old."

SHEER   WEIGHT   OF   METAL
AND    MEN
Petrograd is not saying much about
Russia's great offensive upon the
southern section pf tho eastern battle-
front but the German and Austrian reports, together with the brief despatches which the correspondents are
allowed to send out, indicate that the
Czar's general staff in applying against
the enemy the same tactics which
forced the. Russian retreat from the
Carpathians last summer, By sheer-
weight of metal and men an attempt is
being made to force the Austro-Ger-
mans out of the corner of Galicia near
tp- Rumania, whero from a political
Viewpoint they are of greatest danger
to the entente cause.
The issue of the struggle is unde
cided but the fortune of battle so far
hag.favored the'. Russians. There is
one cause {or great satisfaction in the
fact that the Russians are evidently
amply supplied with, the field guns and
shells without which victory in trench
warfare is virtually unattainable.
answer the people would have given.
They would have supported their governments in the only honorable coursu
which could possibly he taken. A vote
in Russia would also have. been in
accord with the attitude of the ministry. The people would have supported their "Little Father," the czar.
Italians would undoubtedly have voted
for war.
SOLDIERS    DEMAND    CANADIAN
MADE   TOBACCO
Large quantities of tobacco are being sent by Canadians to the .soldiers
at the* front and in hospital but that
the needs in this respect are not being
fully met is shown by the letter from
Lieut D. A. McQuarrle, which The
Dally News publishes this morning.
The point upon which Lieut. McQuarrle lays emphasis is the desire
of the' Canadian boys for Canadian
tobacco. It is one to which attention
hasJieen drawn in the past and which
wilt appeal especially to smokers, who
know how much greater is the pleasure to be derived from a brand, to
Which they have- been accustomed than
from a grade to which l tlVey, are
strangers. Tobacco sold in England
differs considerably from that manufactured in Canada and the United
States.
■'Organizations in Great Britain
whJch.accept cash and forward tobacco
to tbe front have done good work but
there seems to be little doubt that a
very large number of the soldiers from
this country would prefer to receive
the Canadian-made   product.
P.   McCONNELL   PRAISES   NEW
CABINET MINISTERS
John P. McConnell, former editor of
the Saturday Sunset and the Vancouver Sun, Liberal candidate in Yale
in lit)12 .and present Independent Liberal candidate for Cariboo riding, has
commenced the publication of "J. P.'s
Weekly" at Vancouver. In the first
Issue he pays tribute to the strength
of Premier Bowser's new cabinet.
"No one can deny," he declares editorially; "that the inclusion of Messrs.
Tisdall, Campbell and Plumerfelt will
bring new and important strength to
the cabinet."
' He speaks of Mr. Flumerfelt's fitness for the 'portfolio of finance and,
concerning the portfolio of mines,
says: "By separating the portfolio
from the premiership and putting it
into the hands of a capable, practical
man like Mr. Campbell, Premier Bowser irV-my opinion has made a move
calculated to give & tremendous impetus to the mining industry. J look
for. a renaissance in the mining iri-
duatry in- the near future under Mr.
Campbell's guidance.'1'
'He says that under Mr. Tisdall
"there will be no waste and few leaks
In the works department. Mr. Tisdall
fibva foe to extravagance." Summing
Up,, Mr. McConnell declares that "all
the new men have strong individuality.
They are capable and independent."
POPULAR     VOTE     WOULD     NOT
£HAVE PRESERVED PEACE
EIHm Root, one of the greatest of
j^rfjerlcan statesmen, -believes that a
safeguard against future-wars would
tie to give the people the power to say
by-vote- if their country should embark upon a- struggle In which their
lines' and property would pay the bill.
Looking back upon the events which
preceded the outbreak of tbe present
struggle it is doubtful if much support
isi.'-'glveh to'Mr. Roofs idea,
j If Germans had voted upon the
question there is no reason to suppose
fhtff'they would have given .a majority
for peace. . For four- decades they had
oeeri' educated in the idea that Germany could win world domination by
iotce of arms. A vote in Austria
IrouMT have supported the > gdVernjaent, -
PJ$Ucy*' t?       ■
' As to Great Britain and France there
J»  no  question   whatever .as. to   the
Enlist for overseas service. Twenty-,
five thousand men . are needed' from
British Columbia.

family with bread for weeks. Send a

Dr. Cook, who did not discover the
north pole, is a sincere admirer of
Henry Ford's peace propaganda. He
naturally has a fellow feeling for all
who play the chief part in hoaxes and
fizzles.
Two suits are threatened against the

Little Reggie McCarthy of Nelson

Germany has promised the United
States that none of its submarine
commanders will attack liners in the
Mediterranean without giving warn

passengers. Von Tirpitz doubtless has

to disguise his pirates who arc coim

Here is :i ^I'.ef "appreciation" of t]le

trenches who has.had some opportunity of verifying his description:
"By evolution he is a degenerate; by

by nature u traitor; toy profession a

Mrs. Twiekenbury found the gas

A washerwoman applied to a gentleman for work and he gave her a note
to the manager of a certain club. It
read as follows:   .
"Dear Mr. X.—T?hlp;. woman wants

Very shortly.afterward the answer
came back:
"Dear Sir—I dare say she does; but
I don't fancy the Job."
Clergyman (to tattered hobo)—Instead of spending your life wandering about the countryside and sleeping under hedges why can not oyu

When Prince William of Weld started to organize the Albanians to attack tho Servians' and Montenegrins
he apparently stirred up quite a lot of
trouble. Essad Pasha, the Albanian

is now recruiting 50,000 of his people
to attack  Austria, ■*

Changing Commanders.
Great Britain is the last of the chief
belligerents to change her commander
in the field. Germany led the way by
the dismissal of Von Moltke from the
chief ship of the general stafif, and tho
substitution of General von Falken-
hayn. This was done almost immediately after the 'battle of the Marne and
the failure of the plan of crushing
France. Long afterward after the
great retreat from Poland, Russia
swopped horses by transferring the
Grand Duke Nicholas to the Caucasus.
Only recently the chief command of
the French armies on the western front
was delegated from General Joffre to
General de Castelnau.—Lloyd's "Weekly News.
Wilson and   Next  Election.
The Wall Street grievance against
President Wilson Is like the pro-Gorman grievance and there is about as
much patriotism in one as in the other.
Neither of these elements has been
able to use the president or control
his administration. Therefore both are
prepared to exert all their power to
defeat his reelection.
A combination of Wall Street, the
German vote, Theodore Roosevelt and
the Republican machine may be able
to control the national election or lfllG
but we doubt .it. Our own belief is
that there is still a great deal oC disinterested patriotism in the United
States and that tho idealism of the fathers has not yet been submerged in
hyphens or in dollars.—New York

THE  WAR  ONE  YEAR  AGO
Along the whole front of the Vistula
terrific .fighting is going on between
the Russians and Germans, while to
the east of Borjiow artillery and infantry make up the main part of the fighting.
Artillery and bombing attacks to the
north of Arras make tip the total of
fighting that occurred along tho. western front.

t RUSSELL  DID  HIS JOB WELL.j
In the days when Briton and Rubs
were face to face In the Crimea, Sir
Garnet Wolseley, writing from the
soldier's standpoint, spoke of "Those
newly invented curses to armies—I
mean war correspondents." The editor
of the London Times was responsible
for the invention.
One day in February, 185-1 William
Howard Russell, while in the office of
the Thunderer, was 'offered a very delightful position. England was. about,
to show Russia that Turkey, whose ib-|
tegrity was then important to BmiSn'
enterprise, was not to be disturbed.
The Guards were off'to Malta. Would
Russell go with them? The trip would
be delightful. Wife and children could
go along'and all be home 'by Easter.
•Russell went, but lie was wise
enough to leave his 'family behind.,
More than two years passed before
he saw them again. The Guards went
on through Constantinople to the
Crimea. When Russell returned to
London he found himself and his paper more powerful than ever before.
All because of his despatches.
England hutched tho job. The commissary and sanitary departments
were chaotic and the effect upon the
soldiers awful. Russell sent the truth
name. England has -probably never
done quite so badly since, but the Dardanelles campaign would have been
shorter or different If another Russell

No dotrbt".but'7e"are the people—your
throne is above the King's,
Whoso speaks is your presence must
say acceptable things;
Bowing the knee in worship, bending
the knee in fear-
Bringing   the   word   well- smoothen—
such as a King should hear
Fenced by your careful fathers, ringed
iby your leaden seas,
Long did ye wake in quiet and long
lie down at ease;
Till ye said of strife, "What is it?" of
the sword, "It is far from our
ken."
Till ye made a sport of your shrunken
hosts and a toy of your armed
men;
Ye stopped your ears to the warning—
• ye would neither look nor heed-^-
Ye set your leisure before their toil
and your lusts above their need.
Because of your witless learning and
your beasts of warren and chase,
Ye grudged your sons to their service
and jytitir fields of their caftiplng
place,
Ye forced Ith'e'm glean in the highways
the straws for the bricks'they
brought:;
Ye forced them follow in [by-ways the
craft that ye never taught.
Ye hindered and hampered and crippled; ye thrust.out of sight and
away
Those that would serve you for honor
and  those  that  served  you  for
pay.
Then   were  the  judgments  loosened;
then was your shame revealed,
At the hands of a little people, ifew but
apt in the field.
Yet ye were saved by a, remnant (and
your land's long suffering star),
When your strong men cheered in their
millions   while   your   striplings
went to the war.
Sons   of  the  sheltered  city—unmade,
unhandled, unmeet—
Ye pushed them raw to the battle as
ye picked them raw   from   the
street. - '
And what did ye look   they   should
compass?   Wareraft   learned In
a breath, '
Knowledge unto occasion at the first
far view of Death?
So! And ye train your horses and the
dogs ye feed and prize?
How arc tho beasts more worthy than
the souls you sacrifice?
But, he said, "Their valour shall show
them," but ye «aid, "The end is
close."
And ye, sent them comfits and pictures
to help them harry your foes,
And ye vaunted.your fathomless power,
and ye flaunted your iron pride,
Ere—ye fawned on the Younger Nations  for  the  men   who  could
shoot ahd ride.
Then  ye returned  to your  trinkets;
then ye contented your souls
With the flannfcled fools at the wickets
or the muddied oafs at the goals.
Given to strong delusion, wholly believing a lie,
Ye saw that the land lay fenceless, and
yet let the months so toy
Waiting some easy  wonder,    hoping
some saving sign-
Idle—openly  idle—In  the   lee  of the
foresont Line.
Idle—except for your, boasting—and
what, is your boasting worth
If ye grudge .1 year of service to the
-,*•--^lordliest life on earth?

We cannot—we MUST NOT let the destitute Belgians starve! No victory
could be lastingly glorious if it involved the decimation by famine of a small
nation that deliberately sacrificed itself rather than sacrifice honor!
EarlCurzon ofKedlaton, says:
"We have to relieve from privation, and from worse, these unhappy people during the
forthcoming winler, the second winter which they have passed under these cruel conditions; we
have to keep alive their Vital resources, to support their courage, and enable them to continue
to endure".
.Belgian Relief fund
has been and is administered with an Efficiency and
Economy never before equalled in Public Relief Work.
All accounts are audited, and every pound
of food and supplies is accounted for. The
arrangements are absolutely effective for
securing that none of the food or money
goes into the hands of the Germans, is requisitioned by military authorities, or in any
way diverted from tho object for which
it is given.
Nearly 3,000,000 Belgians must depend
this winter on charity I Without help hun
dreds of thousands will starve! We in
Canada have plenty! In the name of
humanity and of the cause for which we
are 'fighting, let us do our part toward
saying these heroic allies!

these, and It is your duty to save your
eyes before it is to late. The eyes aro

your day's work you sit down and rest

many, may' work equal wonders for
ydu. Use it:;a short time. Would you

store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto
tablets; fill a two ounce bottle with
warm wat/r, drop in one tablet and

times dally. Just note how quickly
your eyes olear tip and how soon the
inflammation will disappear. Don't be
afraid to use it; it is absolutely >harm-
i. Many who are now blind might
have saved- their eyes had they started
to care for them in time. This is a

Bright Musical Revue.
"The Girl from Nowhere," the biggest musical comedy success of 1915,
will Ije- the attraction at the opera
house for two nights,; commencing
Monday, Jan. 10.
This 'brilliant musical revue is right
up to the minute in every particular.
The scenes are laid In San Francisco
and the entire action is supposed to
take place during the foig exposition.
Several of the famous landmarks of
the fair have been duplicated on canvas and form a vivid background for
the story. The most beautiful setting
of the whole production shows the
tower of jewels at night, with the spot
lights playing on it and "bringing- out
sparkling shafts of myriad colors as
each of the thousands of tiny jewels
reflects the light.
The plot is equally as timely as the
settings. There is tht dark and desperate plotting of the Mexican revolutionists and the romantic story of the
young British remount officer who discovers the mystery of the pretty little
girl from nowhere and proves her to
■be an English heiress instead of a
Mexican senorita.
Although the story is thrilling, sensational and sometimes almost melo-dra-
matic in its intensity, the keynote
throughout is pure poy. The 24 musical numbers are also a part of the
story and not just interpolations.
There are 14 acting parts in the
piece and a beauty ebon's of the prettiest, cleverest and most altogether
lovely 'bunch of femininity ever shown
on the stage.
"The Chimes" Tonight.
"The Chimes," by Charles Dickens,
in five nets; a Shubert feature with
Tom Terriss, wil be shown at the Cem
tonight. Trotty Veck, the licensed
messenger, reconsiders his promise to
allow' the marriage of Ms daughter,
Meg, to Richard, after being advised by
Alderman Cute that it is a sin for the
poor to wed.
After his day's labors he meets William Fern, with 'his infant'daughter,
Lillian, seeking shelter from the authorities, who have threatened to kill
him. The kind-hearted little man
takes them to his humble home for
the night. *. j.«. _
Lil, now grown to girlhood—Fern in
prison for his demonstration against
tbe rich, and Richard a drunkard from
disappointment. Sir Joseph Bowley
visits the little home and offers to
adopt Lil, but instead mistreats her so
that she is compelled to escape, but
finally upon promise from Sir Joseph
to free her father, gives herself up to
him, only to be ejected in time from
his fine iiome with an unfortunate infant, She goes back to Meg and dies
from tiie effects of her ill treatment,
leaving the infant to Meg, who In turn
is compelled to leave her home, due to
poverty.   '
Going to the bridge, Meg attempts to
end it all for herself and infant. At
this point Trotty's dream comes to an
end. He now realizes that the poor
as well us the rich havo a right to
marry, and hastens to correct his error. This done, >he goes to check Fern,
leading one of his meetings. Knowing
tbe influence of little Lil on her father
lie takes her and induces Fern to give
lip his plans. Trotty and Richard are
taken prisoners -by Sir Joseph's servants and brought before this despot,
who, instead of compelling Trotty to
submit to his terms, is himself forced
to sign a document giving tiie poor
their rights.
"The  Spoilers"   Drawing   Card.
The wonderful drawing power of
"The Spoilers" has been proved by the
long engagements to capacity houses
which the great picture has filled. It
has played 24 weeks in New York, Hi
weeks in Chicago, six weeks in San
Francisco; four weeks in Los Angeles,
six weeks in Seattle, eight weeks In
Montreal, seven weeks in Toronto, and
five -weeks In Vancouver. Following
are some of the Canadian press comments:
Toronto World: It is the finest pic-
lure we have ever seen.
Montreal Daily Mail: A remarkable
film; this photoplay of the north
cannot -fail to please anyone who sees
it.
Montreal Gazette: It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most perfect
as well as the strongest film play ever
seen in Montreal.
"St. John Standard: "The Spoilers"
Is the peer of pictures—a photo triumph.
Vancouver World: Truly a wonderful picture.
"The Spoilers" will be shown at the
Starland  today  and Monday.

ada for the purpose of retaining property they have been unable to pay
for. Local financial men are understood to, plan strong representations to
the government for some amendment
to this, act designed to cheek such
abuses  as  those mentioned.
The archbishop of Canterbury was
to officiate at an important sen-ice
in London. The mam entrance to
the abeby was opened, and a great
spaced roped off so that the dignitaries
might alight from their equipages unmolested. When a dusty two-wheeler,
crossed the square, driven by a fat,
red-faced cabby, 'bobbles rushed out
to bead him off.
"Get out of 'ere," one of them called
briskly, "This entrance is reserved
for the archbishop."
With a wink and a backward jerk
oC his thumb the irresponsible cabby
replied cheerfully:
"1 'ave the old duffer inside."

Much additional significance in regard

publiHhea', in the American Magazine.^
This sicetch is presented in the form
of a private conversation with, a Ger-<,

a -fellow,43tudent  of William  at  thel
iniivewtity  qf  Bonn,  and  was on

In..ord,er to understand our emperor,)
Von.1*—r~ says, one must remember
hoW far the young man's love of power
would lead him.
The relations between the Empress
Frederick.aud her sbn^became at last
so bitter that William placed spies
about her—even in the bedroom of
his invalided father.
First Official Aot
. Through one of these spies William
learned of the existence of a journal
■which his father had kept fo£ some
years," Frederick 'had a taste for writing and tho .fact that there was coldness between him- and his son led
William to rear that this secret jour-1
nal might contain some criticism of
his conduct. JThe fear of it. haunted
him and he bent all his thoughts to
obtaining possession of it.
.. The empress,.' however, was clever
enough 'Jo conceal the diary before her
husband's "death. Eluding the surveillance of her fiion, she sent the
papers to her mother, Queen Victoria, (
ur to her brother, then Prince of
Wales—I don't renjember which.
Hardly had his father drawn his
laSt breath when William, over the
dead body, performed his first official
act. '.
It was to demand Of his widowed
mother the journal, which he termed a
"memorial."

for colossal statues,-giant universities,

bolic monumentallsm—dates -from the
Gruenderzelt. If the Gruenderzelt disappears, little by little, from the souls
of men, it still lives in the souls of
stones, ahd in' the soul of William II.,

of megalomania, inflation, uproar and

not the man tfpeniy to regret an act—
even a mistake—and he was too much

after realizing his error, that I keep
the story 'secret. Nevertheless, each
time X have; wanted \o tell It I have

act of authority. ■■

cilal. fever during the hundred doyn-
reign of.-his. poor cancerous father,
Fredericlj.. Ah, WllHam.had escaped
his -parents long. before.. that tline.
Bismarck had got him away frpm
them; an easy game, for the old diplomat , in. whom ferocious energy and
supreme cunning Tyefo blended.
Appetite for Power
1 Bismarck never cared for the Emperor, Frederick, who., he thought
wished to change the order of things,
and ns for the empress he abomin
uted her because of her English ideas
arid referred .to her as "the stranger
lie devoted himself to filling William'
w,ijh the appetite for. power, taught
him to criticize every., written andt
spoken word of hiSMfather ahd to believe ithat the influence'.of his English mother :was anti-national, andi
.-t|ie>efoi^ dangerous,';; ^Biit Bismarck,'
shrewd *s he was, could nojt foresee
resisted the more determined he be
came. It. seemed tq him that the Im-
portanco.-of. :the papers might be

opposition,.,besides .which he was enraged '(n'ai"ln tho first- hptir of the

Arrest of Hit Mother'
"Well," he commanded, purple with
wrath, "you will, remain under close
arrest until you have obeyed me."
Bismarck, arriving at Potsdam two
hours after this; found the palace
surrounded by - squadrons of armed
cavalry. ■-.  ■
The emperor, whom ho found still
axcited, told the old .chancellor how
he had met the disobedience of his
mother. .   ' '  ■,
"And she need not expect, pity or
consideration uhtll she- has. obeyed
rtie," ho declared. "!you u*"*er9tand
that, Mr." Chancellor? ,,TJntil sho has
Obeyed me)"
The pupil imd gone much too far.
Bismardk saw at dnice that tiie buffoonery continued might mar the
whole of William's Yeigirt. Later in
life, he'sald, he used to wontfer how
he ^kep't from laughlnrg In ,'lilM sov-

Bismarck's Strategy

'Iin'm's hfews witH':^eferemial;'siie'hc'e,!
and later; when' 'the 'emperor Was
calmer, show him that :liis course was
sure'to meet \vith'geheml 'disapproval.
There was a'way, he'thbught, of "proceeding1 imieh mofe YigbVohbljf and at
the same time TBfflcaciouHly. Why not
rather cut downr' the- income of 'the
empress?   Suspend her appandages?
"I ,kn6w her jnajesty,'^ said the good
Bismarck. "Sho has pride. Forced
arrest she can brave out, accepting it

as a sort of martyrdom; but ■ the
money aire, the - money-—who «arf-re*-
sist money?"
. Further, he laid tactful stress upon
tiie probable representations of England. "Is it really the moment, sire?"
> The kaiser, becoming appeased, listened to Bismarck's counsel. The arrest of the empress was removed. The
officers . led. their cavalry back to
quarters, and William turned his attention to the details of his father's
obsequies, which he wished to be most
fastidious.
The struggle between the dowager
empress and her son lasted for several months; six at least Finally the
emperor obtained the manuscript arid
the empress her money.    ,
Brilliancy and Noise
Was It not a worthy debut, I ask
yon, for an emperor whb+ .despairing
of ever attaining the glory of having
made a Bismarck, discerned that the
glory of daring.' to. dismiss him was
the only thing that could be thrown
into the balance *
Wha), did he risk, after all? Germany was already  made.
And so it comes about that the
Gruenderzelt has, in William II., the
first new fashioned emperor of Germany; an emperor of brilliancy and
noise. He squares himself majestically upon the imperial throne and
caracoles spectacularly upon the field
of maneuvers.
His character is paradoxical. Sometime I think of him as a good German
boy. Ho has some true friepds, too;
some of them obscure people, absolutely disinterested. To hear him
talk intimately, without -arrogance or
pomp, his body slouching in a low
armchair and bis legs crossed high,
smoking his pipe and laughing boisterously, one. can hardly realize that
he Is actually the formidable autocrat
who terrorizes not only his own country, but the whole world with the
tumult of his personality.
His Deformed Arm
The intimate William, son of an
English woman, has in him a good
ileal of the young English patrician.
Though graduated from Bonn Instead
of' Oxford, ho has done his best to
approximate the English sporting
gentleman. Bu't his Britainism is too
mixed; it amounts'-.only to Anglo-
maliln; His tihclef King Edward,
laughs at his pretentions, and the
ffephew rafteS. Of course, it is quite
out of the Question for him to manage
any sport (here Von B— spoke in a
lower tone)- on account of his deformed arm. Though lie has a thousand Ingenious tricks for concealing
it, it has come tp, bo pretty generally
known,' that one of his arms has never
developed. , Look at him or his pictures, and you will see that he has
taken.precautions to prevent its being seen. The fact remains that, to
alt practical purposes, he is one-
armed.
His Ideas Commonplace
William's cultivation is extensive
but vague. The only, think he knows
In a. precise and detailed fashion is
geography—for geography is commerce.
It.w^s a joy to argue with him in.
the old days on literature, philosophy,
morale—anything at all. Ho did not
by-.anyr^ans.impose Ids ideas upon
use, but accepted differences of.opln--
ion sensibly. I may add that his Ideas
are usually commonplace. He would
joke. even in the midst of the most
lively controversies and .to his credit
be it Said that when beaten, in an
argument he never hurled his imperial
crown at his adversary's head in order- to .come- out ahead. Perhaps he
revenged himself on his generals and
hiprministers.;-;:' "

WING OFFICERS
FOR NEW ARMIES
Thcro used lo be a saying in the
jr'rmy to tho effect that it took only
|};ix months to; make a soldier at a
l.iinch, but five), years to make an officer.   It'sounds as though an officer
who had been rcadiing Kipling backwards had said  it says tho Toronto
[Mail and Empire.   -Nevertheless it ro-

trniics, numbering 'some 4,000,000, got

' homseives have been called into ex-
stence. Whether designedly or not,
ho machinery for making the new of'
'tiecrs has been in existence fur some
imo and the officers can be turned
jut as promptly ay the men.
Three Avenues of Approach.
Tho young officers of the new ar
Ifnies ai*o obtained -in three ways, omit
jtlng to reckon the product of the mili-
itary academies, not because they have
not done good work, .but because they
xre now almost negligible in numbers.
Tho three avenues of approach to u,
•commission in tho British army today
jaro direct from civil life, through one
of tho public schools or university of'
fleers' training corps, or through one
iOf tho territorial regiments.which have
been specially designated as officers'
training corps. The most interesting
from the civilian point of view is the
V ,
last of the three. The most notable
of tho O.T.C. regiments are the Inns
of Court, the Artists' rifles and the
Honorable Artillery company, all of
London. The Inns of Court Is familiarly known as the "Devil's Own" from
the fact that Its membership is confined'to lawyers—members of the four
Inns of Court in London, of the Faculty of Advocates of Scotland and tho
King's Inn of Dublin and "such other
gentlemen as may bo considered by the
commanding officer to bo specially
eligible."
An Honorable Hiitory.
It is a regiment with an honorable
history, for it was organized in 1584,
when under Lord Ellesmere, a famous
judge, It served in land operations
against the Spanish Armada. It fought
In the Civil War under Lord Lyttletoi.
and it furnished "two valiant corps"
to quote its official history, for service in tho Napoleonic wars. It was
christened the "Devil's Own" by King
Qeorge III, who Is also credited with
Inventing the bugle call, "A guinea
for the governor and a crown piece for
the clerk." The Artists'B Rifles is a
moro modern regiment. Officially it Is
a battalion of the Kensington Regiment
and before the war it was one of the
crack Territorial regiments of London.
Its membership is largely composed of
artists, actors, writers and men of sim
ilar pursuits, It was sent to the front
with the other Territorials early In the
war, but Sir John French came to the
conclusion that men of the standard
of education of its members wero wasted as privates, and -designated the battalion an O, T, C. regiment, and sent
it home to train.
Veterans Respond.
At first it was a comparatively easy
matter to secure competent senior offi-
cers for Kitchener's army. The best
teachers in tho world wero ready for
tho task. There was hardly an English hamlet that did not number in
its population some elderly officer who
had spent the best part of a lifetime
in India or Egypt, and had retired on
half pay lo cultivate mushrooms or
rabbits. At the call of war these veterans . sprang to life, and began to drill
tho young men who had applied for
commissions. How successful somo of
these old chaps wero is,illustrated by
tho ease of one of them, who was 75
years old. He drilled two battalions
of his old regiment until they wero
sent to Franco and then took upon him
self the duty of preparing a third.
When tho word came for the last detachment to go, the veteran insisted
upon going with it, and -despite his
years lie was permitted to lead the
boys into action. Ho has since won
new 'distinctions and is now recovering
from wounds lii hospital.
Fine New Officers
Air. Steele, 'the correspondent referred to, says that the young officers of
the latest British armies have nothing
to fear from a comparison with the
best officers in Europe, although 90
per cent of them never thought of war
before 'the present conflict occurred. It
has been shown, as Sir Ram Hughes
pointed out, that men who were nothing but lawyers, doctors or merchants
till the years of their lives can bo made
into ideal leaders of men when once
they tackle tho military problem, If
they can convey 'the impression that
tho officers kiibw what they are doing
and that they will not reeklesly waste
life, they have mastered the first essentials of their'avoeations. The men
will .follow them, ahd the officers will
plan for the welfare of tho men, England 'does not tack those who will ful-
fill these qualifications.

Spteial Correspondent of London Ex-
prett Would Pit British Dirigible
Againtt German Zepp
Londoners are naturally mostly
concerned about London's defenses
against Zeppelin attacks, writes a
special correspondent of the London
Express. But the real question ia
how to prevent zeppelins coming to
this country at all, for as the greater
covers the less, so If you destroy or
drive away enemy aireaft before
they reach our coast, there prould toe
ho need to worry about London or
any other town or 'village In Great
Britain.
In the past certain of our pundits
appear to have put their faith In
aeroplanes and suns as the sure and
only means of salvation again Zeppelins. But what are the facts. Zeppelins being as long as St. James street,
would prove an easy mark at a low
altitude by day. They, therefore, take
advantage of the dark, which affords
protection against both guns and
aeroplanes. It is difficult enough for
an aeroplane to' fly at all by night
■but it is doubly difficult for aeroplane to land in the dark without tho
machine being smasheed and the
pilot's neck broken. To alight
even by day needs the nicest calculation; what, then, arc the chances of
castastrophe in the dark or with a
slight ground mist obscuring the landing place?
' In their attacks upon London the
zoppeiins work at a height of over
10,000 feet, and are capable of rising
in the air ten times as (fast as any
ordinary aeroplane. The plane's one
chance of success is to get above the
airship and drop bombs on1 her
Butttfly and Hawk.
To rlso above her pray she must
laboriously climb in spirals at a tenth
the speed of an adversary capable of
rising both perpendicularly and
dynamically at an angle by means of
her rudder area, though it Is true'
this may causo the airship to lose
some of her buoyancy It is liko
buttorfly chasing a hawk. The plane
may hit the zoppelin several times,
with Its machine gun, but the net
effect of this ou tho numerous gas
tight compartments and chambers is
likely to be negligible,
Witli Lieut. Warnoford fortune
favored the brave. He was high in
tho jilr awaiting tho zcppelin's return,
but even bo it took several bombs before tho brilliant tattle was ended.
Such ■ a flight over Jmndon, with
"swarm of hornets" dropping innumerable bombs on tin- offenance of one
hitting Is easier imagined than do
scribed; and this pre-supposes the
planes to have had time tu time ten
or twelvo thousand feet before tho
enemy arrives, to bo able to ace him
when he conies; and finally to evade
his bigger gun's in the car and those
possibly mounted on the top of the
hull.
Now as, to the guna for.defense.on.
land, of which only those of power
and long range arc of use against the
raiding zeppelin. shrapnel and pieces
of shell having a habit of returning
to earth at much the same rate at
which they were impelled, the bigger the guns the more dangerous it
is for those in whose defense they are
fired.
It is difficult enough in daylight
to hit a ship on the water some miles
off, whlcli, after all, can only go
backwards, forwards and sideways.
How much more difficult, therefore,
It is to hit a zeppelin in tho work,
which can go up and down, as well as
backwards, forwards and sideways,
and which', moreover, docs this at almost double tho speed of a dreadnought cruiser?
The Great Use For Guns.
\.The great use for guns In defending a city or any other vital spot
against zeppelins is t0 force.the airship to keep above a certain height,
whore, even on a. clear night, It will
nol be able to distinguish important
areas at which to aim its bombs. If
tho zoppelin bo allowed to descond to
four or five thousand feet It might
placo Its bombs witb somo accuracy,
but the fact that they cannot sec at
what thoy arc aiming does not deter
German airmen from causing useless
dumoge and from murdering women
and children.
So, while our guns may bo useful
in "blinding- zeppelins when tliey
arc over a danger zone, they cannot
bo relied upon to keep them away,
nor can .they stop them from slaughtering our. women folk. Guns should
be our line of defense whoh a zep-
peWn has snipped through our
defenses Zeppelins should , be kept
away from England by some similar
type of aircraft, capable of attacking them on their journey here, and,
should the need arise, capable-of effective reprisals in Germany itself.
This type of aircraft will certainly
not ' prove ' to be' an aeroplane. ' As
tho first lord said In the house of
commons on 'November. 11: "The time
muy'come. when'the power of the aeroplane' will so increase its length of
flight, tho load It can carry and its
powors of offense that an aeroplane
starting from the shores of Norfolk
might become a menace and terror on
the banks of the Shine. But that time
iff hot yet and it is no use pretending
that it is."
Tho Great Ship of the Air.
Quite so; the true weapoln of defense and offense against zeppelin
attack would appear to be a super-
zeppelin—superior, at any rate, in turn
of speed and goneral mobility. And
in this direction we hope we see Mr.
Balfour's thought tupiing. For years
the expert advisers in the air department of the admiralty have asked to
be allowed'to build the <great ship of
the air.. They have argued and
fought against incredible odds to get
their way, and one one occasion the
then first lord was persuaded to sanction construction on those lines.
On July 17, 1913, Mr, Winston
Churchill, as first lord of the admiralty, announced in the house of commons that, "the preliminary construction of two .rigid airships of tho largest size.is.now well advanced. . . .
Probably a. succession of these rigid
airships will be ordered. ... We
have very good. hopes of building a

ANDREW   DENHOLM   DIES.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
BIiENHiaiiM,s Ont., Jan. 7.—Andrew
Denholm, reeve and wai-den of Kent
county in 1910, died laat night aged
59. 'He was an old newsiwner man,
having at one time managed the Kincardine Reporter*), and established the
first daily newspaper in "Woodstock,
the Sentinel.
He was president of the Canadian
Independent Telephone association.
Three sons and two daughters as well
an his widow survive.

and IboweJs aro idogged with sour
waste. .
When liHtless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act nautrally, has stomach ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give
a tenspoonful of "California Syrup ol'
Figs'' and in a few hours all tho foul
waste, the sour bile and fermenting
food passes out of tho bowels and
you have a well and playful child
again. Cbildrcn love this harmless
"fruit laxative" and mothers can rest
easy after giving It, because it never
fails to make their little "insides" clean
and sweet.
Keep it handy, mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California -Syrup of Figs," which has directions! for babies, children ol' alt
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there aro counter-
felts sold here, so surely look and see
that yours is made by the "California
Fig 'Syrup Company." Hand back with
contempt any other fig syrup,

TRY   ONE   WHEN   THINGS   ARE   DULL
In a letcr received from Ueut, D, A.
McQuarrle, written Dec: 21, he states
that'ho had been'to see Billy Busk
at the Liverpool Merchants' Mobile,
hoBpillU, and found him very much
aliye and in fine spirits. He states
tha.t lie inade very light of his wounds.
but that in talking to the doctor later,
he found that Billy had been shot in
the left side. The bullet passed .between the ribs, missing the heart by
about an inch and just grazed the.
spine. The doctor says it will 'be a
year before he is completely w©ll> but
.will eventually be as well as ever if
ho takes care  of himself. • ''*■
He took him up about two. dozen
boxes of cigarettes and a package';oP
Canadian cigarette and chewing tobacco. Billy did not look at the cigf
arettes but pretty near fell on Lieut.
McQuarrle's nook when he saw the
tobacco. It is very difficult to got.
Canadian tobacco'in England and it.JS'
double the price it is in Canada, but
it makes the 'boys feel like 3iome/to*
get it, the detter says.
. Busk said that tho campaign in tho
summer was a huge1 joke, just like
camping out, but in the winter is was'
absolute hell. "Thero Is not a house
within 20 miles pf the firing line Witli
a roof on. You are mud from top to.
bottom and" even the colonel comes
out of the trenches looking like a coal
heaver. -The morale of our 'boya Us>
great and the Germans are a beaten
people. We are,firing five shots'to*
their one."
He asked that Sergt. Robert Quinn
he told about.George Blake, who is
from Nelson, and who was killed by a
premature explosion of a bomby.
He says that Blake Allan died like
a hero. He was conscious, for three
hours before his death and never let
a whimper out of him. , >'   "
Lieut. McQuarrle's friend, tho fighting parson> D. D. Donaldson of Ymir,
he says, is in the artillery now. "During tho first sermon ho preached," he
said, th,ey were al lsinging 'Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep,5 when a shell
just missed Davo by about three feet
and buried itself in tho trench without exploding The rest of tho bunch
d.ucked and beat it, hut ■ It neVer
phased Davo a bit, ho kept right on
.singing."
$he letter reports that /Miy Agnew,
who was working at the Edgewood
lumber mill before ho left and was
formerly in a bank, has Jbeeii-wounded in tho wrist, hut is getting along
well aud also that Reggie James has
a commission in tho 7tii Middlesex
regiment of British territorials. He
was in the Bank of Montreal and formerly worked for McQuarrle & Robertson. J. B. M. Barnum of thp Bank
of Montreal has a cominiesion With
the .Royal Horse artillery. S. G. H.
Sleet of New Denver, Who was in
Limit. MoQuarrie's batallon, has a
oommisuion in tho Leicesters and
Murray Scott, who lived across the-
lake, is at the Gallipoli peninsula-as a
bomb inspector. Robert Scott, who
worked In Nelson *W McQiiarrlo &.
Robertson, is a second lieutenant in
the L. H. J. stationed at Kllcragrin,
Scotland.
.The letter states that Lieut. McQuarrle is slated for a. second two weeks'
course m Franco in February and that
all the hoys of. tho second contingent
wish to be remembered to Boh Quinn
and Charles Mclnnis.
A young fellow just 'back tfrom op
leave from the front was relating to
his 'friends—fellow members in the
offico from which he went out—some
ot'hia experiences i nthe trenches. He
described tiie action at Ypres as one
of the most terrible things possible.
"It was hell," he declared, "in the
mornln*; It was hell in the afternoon,
and it was hell at night, in fact," he
concluded, "It was, only about 1 pet
cent better than being. 1 nthe old office

Jail.
Tomlch, who is a miner, was interii-
ed from Rossland,,last June and had

ing the period of his imprisonment his
