Canadian Shells Cheaper. On Hopt. 10, 1014, the war offico was advised thnt Canada could supply 20,000 shells by Nov. 1, and 30,000 a month th'erea-ftcr. . * ' • Gen. Hughes 'declared that he had not interfered with thegivilig of contracts, nor had Jm bad anything to do with the setting of prices. Canadian manufacturers eot no bonus or ensh payment. Thoy took many riskH and they delivered the goods lower in price than tiny other country excepting Great ftritain. As an example. Gen. Hughes rend a letter received from the Crucible Stool company, one of the large concerns of the United States. This firm offered to deliver to the Canadian government a large fjuantity/of shells at $12 each, while Uie Canadian price at the time was $8.5i> nnd SS.30. Gen. HUghes said that on April 24 he had transmitted to him a cablo from Lord Kitchener thanking Cnnndn for* its satisf.Tetory delivery of. shellsi Tt was significant that thl« cable arrived when the third day's fighting at St. .luliei. was ou. He remarked inpfdent- ally that during that battle a Canadian ammunition corps commandeered some 8000 shells it found back of the line. ♦he corps discovered that they were Canadian shrapnel shells. They were used by Canadian gunners to help hold back 100,000 Gorman soldiers. Manufacturers Were Nervous. Gen. Hughes repeated, that \n tho beginning manufacturers wore nervous at starting tho work of making shells. They -were afraid that they would 'lose money at $B.fii> and to induce them to start operations tho. prime minister promised that he would try to hnvej them recouped If they lost money. Later the banks becahie more confident and soon every financier and promoter in the country wanted to start making shells. "TSvery young barrister in the country came to Ottawa," he said, amidst laughter, "with his bair, parted in tho middle and a pencil anijfl paper prepared to make shells. Doar old Gen. Bertram, soon got to size them up. The first question he asked waa, 'Where is your machine shop?' This had to bo inspected before any order was given and it knocked modt of them out. I heard lots of rumors; I, heard as many hi an afternoon as ray dear friend St. John recited in his whole speech. He only touched the fringe of them. I Investigated many, of these rumors and I challenged anyone to say there is anything wrong. I am at Gen, Bertram's back, morning, noon and night. 1 Col. Cantlie Experiments. "I may bo, a little erratic and all that," -continued Gon. Hughes, rfso I always consulted the prime minister I thought I could find a balance wheel in him. I was continually told that shells could not be made with basic steel, that they had to be made with acid steel. I do not know much, aibout steel; I could not understand this. So I went to the premier. I said to him, 'Who in (laughter); Who ih Can ada knows all about steel?'". , ' 'The house was etlll laughing and Gen. Hughes remarked that he might have said the otherXhing, too. The prime minister suggested to him the name of Col. Cantlie. , "I bunted him up," continued the speaker, "and asked hlmwhy basic steel would not do. Hfr said that he would experiment. He tested and ex- ■ perimented nnd spent upward of $600,000 beforo he got any returns. Finally ho got what he wanted. Tests wero mode hero and in England. British exports said that the shells would do. As a result 800,000,000 pounds of steel had been made In Canada which Biingajow Aprons THE OLD FAVORITE OVERALL BUNGALOW APRON AGAIN TO THE FORE Our Old Price Stil A FINE RANGE OF COLORS Holda, Each ';.... 59c Ladies' Fine Kid Gloves .

Liberate on Committee Gon. Hughes roviewed the names of the members of the shell committee. Generals Bertram and Benson, he said, he understood were Conservatives. Col. Cantlie, ho believed, was a supporter of B. AT. Macdonald. He had probably voted both ways. Col. Lafferty was a Libera 1. Col. G eorge Watts, he, was told, waa a Liberal. "J. W. Borden," ho said, "belongs to the Liberal branch of the Borden Ifamily." There was loud laughter in •"which tlie premier joined. Gen. Hughes said that he had quoted these names to show that he did not allow politics to Interfere with military matters. f\t the opposition leader would point out any member of his following who wanted to go to the front he would put him in uniform and give him a chance. , Gen. Hughes said that for the first orders for 18-pounders, tbo prico was $8.55 and machining at $fUr>. The second order for 400,000 completed shells was for ft! nnd the machining ?3.S0. On subsequent orders tho nia- chining-was reduced to us low as $1.85. Ue said that some of tlie firms ln the early stages-spoiled 40 per cent of their shells. They took the risks and in many cases lost money. » Australians Learned Here Ho asserted that sliellw were made cheaper in Canada than in the United States. As - for Australia, all they Itnew'about shell making was learned from the Canadian shell committee. Experts came here nnd saw how Canada did 11. They got the prices hero and fixed their price nt %"* at a time when the Canadian price was *S.S0. Hon. William i'ugsley—Did not th'e Australian shell include bullets? Gen. Hughes—That was not my information. Mr. PugHloy—Well, it is mine. Cen, " Hughes—No, you are wrong. You got your information from the Liberal Monthly. I got my Information from tho Australians who wero here. Cheaper Than in England. Continuing, the minister said that tho shells made in Canada were, with feW exceptions, cheaper than tlioso made in tho United Htntes or Great Britain, although no bonus was given in Canada but providing machines for manufacturers ns was done in England. Canada had led tho way in quantity, in price and in driving force. Tho machining of the 4.5-inch shells cost only $7.45 in Canada now »h compared with MO.'Ao In England1. The machining ol* JS-pbunder shells was being* done for $1.8") In Canada and $3.S1 In England. Tbo complete (i-Inch shells wore costing 51(1.1)1 in England and $16.85 in Canada, while the H-lnelj forglngs were costing $0/53 and 7.50 in Rngland and Camilla respectively. (Continued on Page Three.) WILL NOT DEW FORMAL (Continued from Pago Ono.) forbidding all ships to go tihrough, adding:, "■Neither could we put every cargo in prize courts. If wo had done that the war might possibly have ibeen. over by .now. Only the whole world would have been against us and we and our allies would lhave collapsed under the general resentment of tho whole world. Therefore, If such lines are es- otabllshed we must allow ships for neutral ports with bona fide neutral cargoes to go through. "What I understand is meant when you say 'blockade' is that, you aro going to discriminate and that Is ox actly what Is now being done/' Blockade Bad for Neutrals, The secretary repudiated the idea that a technical blockade would be moro palatable to neutral countries, and said if anybody wished to realize the,justification of Britain's present policy he had only to read the correspondence with the United States. If he wished to read objections taken to It—objections with any cort of policy might meet with, ho could road the American notes to Great Britain, especially the lost note which had not yet lieen answered. In this connection Sir Edward Raid that consultation' wltb France was with a view.to pursuing not merely the same policy, but to Justify It i by the same arguments and put the-samc ease before the world ' On tho general-Question heUaid'that the government, was trying to avoid friction with the peutrals by fllging agreements, not with the governments, but with traders ^to facilitate/discrimination between enemy and isenuine goods. He laid siresB on'tho fact that Britain had a duty toward the allies In this matter, although, he added, !had Britain had no allies doubtless it would have done precisely the same thing. , Task Is Burdensome The contraband committee, which Includos two representatives^ of the admiralty, the speaker said, liad dono Its work admirably and during the last year there wero only three cases !n which ships were dealt with without consulting, that committee. Sir Edward said It was time these attacks ceased for they must have a dispiriting effect on tho navy, because they led the navy to suppose its work was being undone by finothor department. Continuing, Sir Edward said: "The task of the foreign office is a burdensomovone, It. has t,o do itR. best to retain tho good will nf neutrals and secure that the sources of certain supplies for ourselves and our allies be not cut Off. At tho name time it has to explain, justify and defend oiir Interference with neutral trade. If w'e arc to establish a lino of blockade wo must do It consistantly witli the right of neutrals and wo must let through bona fide vessels for neutral ports. Doing All Possible "That is the intention of the supporters of the blockade, resolution and that Ik what is actually, being done. We are unable to do more thnn^at- tempt to stop all goods entering or leaving Germany, and that is'belr.r done. "Wc are applying the doctrine of continuous voyago. Wo agree that wc want common action with our allies- and that Is what we had with France* when the order in council was Issued; "Wo are going to answer'the last United States note but in tho first Instance in consultation with tho French government. That consultation Is now> taking place and consultations with other allies' which are concerned in tho carrying out of our declared polley of stopping enemy trade. ^ . I would say,to neutrals that we cannot, abandon our rights of Interference with 'enemy trade and , cannot exerclso that right without, considerable Inconvenience to their trade. They must answer the one main question: Right to Follow U. S. Principles "Do they, admit our right to apply (b the full- the principles a pplted by. the Amerioap government in tbe civil war, according to the order df conditions nnd to do our best, to prevent trado reaching ' the enemy * through neufrals. "If they answer 'Yes,' ns they- unbound in fairness to do, then I would say, let them do their best to make It easv for us to distinguish, "If they answer that we are not entitled to prevent trade with tho enemy and If the neutral countries take that line, it would be a departure from nou-- trallty. H don't understand that thoy Will take that line. Tt is finite trHj* there were things in tho last American" note which if conceded 'would have rendered it impossible for Great Britain to prevent goods, even contraband; going wholesale to the enemy, but l do not understand that that is tho attitude of the United States , or any other government." Sir Edward in scathing terms contrasted Germany's attitude in regard to the neutrals with the British attitude and snid:, - , "If ever there was a war In which wc and our allies could.employ recognized belligerent rights to their'utmoRt extent it was this waiv What would have been said, by-neutrals If we .had done what'Germany had done?*' The foreign secretary emphasised again what was the aim of the allies, and concluded by declaring: '/ .■ "We shall see this thing through to tbo end." .___ .

Even New Believe President Wilton tt - Determined to Force War Upon1 Their Gauntry. (Ourut Garrett in the New York h ';- Times.) . BERLIN (by wireless to. Sayvllle, N. T.)—An American in Oermany Is soon aware that the obstacles in the way of mutual understanding between the two nations are, iri the first place, those of feelings, and, secondly, those of facts. The facts cannot he success, fully approached from either aide through on angry state of feelihg. This Is in danger of becoming a tense situ* a tion. Beyond the circle of Germany's enemies are neutrals, meaning principally ourselves. Communication between Germany and the United States must pass through the hands of the censor or the hands of Germany's enemies. Tbe only means of communication not physically controlled by Great Britain. is the wireless arid messages by wireless are audible to the whole world, England knows every word that passed. Therefore a message from Germany to tbe United Stales has to Ibe considered In three terms—namely, its effect upon the Englttm mind, it* reixc- tion upon tho German mind as it will be tauntingly construed In- the English press, and, lastly, its effect upon the American mind. Discrimination Charged. By wireless, it is true, the German government may communicate with Its ambassador in Washington Ih a private code known only .to the American government, but as all other governments may communicate by cable in absolutely secret code,- the German government feels that to be alone deprived of that same privilege is an unfair discrimination. This, therefore,. is an obstacle that combines both fact and feeling, and If you -will add thereto the misfortune that the German government thinks It has reasdn to distrust the neutrality of the United States, you will see how serious it is. We need not Inquire whether the German government is justified in regarding America's neutrality with reservations; the doubt exists and hinders every approach to an understanding. The reason for denying tb,fe iGeirmun government the privilege of using a secret code by wireless was In the beginning,, that it might communicate In that way with Its ships at sea; but the German government thinks that if this reason were ever valid it has ceased to be, as there are no more German ships upon the sea. Attitude Misunderstood. It would be bard to say at this mo* ment whether Germany misconceives lite American mind more than the United States misconceives tbe Ger. man mind. On both aides a, great majority of the average people and of men In responsible places very earnestly wish peaceful relations between the two countries lo remain undisturbed.. I am as sure of that In Germany as I was- sure of it six weeks ago in the United States, and yet In tho last few days some very eminent German men, Including one of the most powerful bankers In the empire, bavc said to me despondently, almost despairingly,that the only conclusion open to them was that President Wilson was resolved to force war upon Germany. By that you may measure .the depths, of the misunderstanding. . *, A Political Divergence, Preposterous as tills German con- (•option of the American attitude must seem to Americans, It Is, from this point of view, no more so than the American conception of the German attitude toward the United States. It is a pacific attitude, and that it has not been differently expressed is awing to tlie fear that to express It in any less formal manner would betray tbe world into errors of judgment as to tbo conditions that exist within the fortress. Those conditions are much stronger than tho world believes. It seems easier for Germany to understand ber enemies than to comprehend tho American point of view. 1 recently spent two hours with one of the' highest officials of the German government, who said at least: "Nobody has told us these things before. It Is u, pity we did not have that kind of insight sooner," and T told him only what every American knows, namely, tho si mplo-reasons why American feelings and sympathies aro anti-German, and that our sympathies spring from a deep political faith which another people may understand even while disagreeing with; it. The problem is not that Germans' and Americans think differently so much as that each aide has, mistaken the significance of the other's thoughtst and for that reason lias been unable to respect them. , » 4 44 4 * e »■>!.* > > * M Mill 4$ »#■< Ifaotenag and Boundary iMllllllll.Mllnai mniiiii!!.!, a )IIIIIIH ., ROSSLAND NEWS Patient (mournfully)—I'm atruid, doctor, from what you've salt! there very Iittl6 hope for.me.

Canada was also supplying tho British nnd Russian demand for zinc. Therefinln^of copper:'also had been begun in Canada arid this opened up great . possibilities' ufter;'the war.

Mackenzie (North Cape Breton) declared that. ,1» epite of what the minister of militia had said, there Had .been politics in his department from' the beginning arid there was today. The war, he.added, had shown what Canadian enterprise dud. Initiative could do in. the manufacture of Shells and otherwise., It was a good answer to the former .assertions, that Canada could not build ships or do do anything that was mnv'to Uie country. Ho demanded that there should be au investigation of the shell committee. Tho Cariadl&n people would not bo satisfied wJHi the anstver that It was Imperial iri'oiiey that was being spent; Canadian money would, be paid for some, of the" shell's Arid there was no 'comparison//between' tbe present case Und that which had been cited in connection with'the Souh African war. In hat ease there was no charge of any wrongdoing l and no Canadian money at all was being spent. Mr. Mackenzie' asserted that In Xova 'Sco'ttu, 'everything hi connection With the war 'goes through the ordinary channels of the party patronage committee. Ho said he would not mind this so much if .clean men were put in charge of military affairs. But this was not always the'easfe, The organ of the prime minister at Halifax'the other day'contained on Its front page trio picture of a irtait wh" had been given the title of major and who would later ■bo'Jglyeii the command of a battalion. The records' of the supreme court of i")ova .Scotia show that he has been found guilty of forgery and perjury.

Major ^iuir- head,''fsald Mr., Mackenzie, :-'and.;I have ^nothing: to: take back,'' - Mr. Mackenzie maintained, that in all its departments the government had showed marked incompetency. ' War U Paramount Issue. Hon, Martin ■ Burrell' followed. He said that the pressure which shadows this great conflagration was over them day and night. They were daily affected by- the tragie character of this war. Ho thought perhaps they were inclined to lay too much stress upon smaller affairs to.tho neglect of the paramount issues. Ho was In, Vancouver the day after war waa declared.- iHe addressed a convention of the Canadian club. He would never forget the deep emotion that stirred thbso people at that time, the wave of passion that swept over that gathering and the determination which moved every heart and mind to see tills war .through to the end, no matter what It cost. He had watched with the deepest: pride the splendid responso made by the people of his own province. There were men in his own riding who had walked 30 to 40 miles to enlist." The response to this call was tho best 'guarantee of tbe final outcome of the .war. He himself had lost many strong, person.] 1 friends in tho conflict. Tt ,was a deep satisfaction to know liovr bravely Canadians have carried themselves. Mr. Burrell said he did not object to criticism. Alucit of.tfte criticism which had been made was of a helpful character. ''' But come criticism had been designed entirely to make political capital.. He objected to the tone and character, particularly of the.speecl.es of the member for St.'John and the member tor Carleton, '. ■ Carvell of Sandbagging Type. Mr. Burrell described Hon. Mr. Pug- sle'y ln scriptural language, "the words of his mouth were soft as butter, but war is in his heart;" As for Mr. Car*, 'veil, suavity.was,npt one; of his characteristics. He was rather!' Of thi sandbagging or blood-getting type. Referring to the reflections upon the Davidson commission, Mr. Burrell said that the Toronto Globe had spoken highly of Sir Charles Davidson's character ahd ability. John Thompson, counsel for the 'commission, represented the country arid not the Conservative party and lie was a capable; and honorable member of the bur. Mr. BUrrel said that just before the Outbreak of the war he happened to be at Vlctdria. The commanding officer of the ^navy yard wa» anxious to feet the two submarines which were known to:be available. "I concurred as to the advisability of getting the boats at that- time and left the pi-Ice to be fixed by the government," said tlie minister. "There was not only the possibility, but the probability," he added, "that the Gorman fleet would sail in arid sheH Victoria and Vancouver. Th,e ucriulsitlon of the submarines assured the safety of tho two cities.

At this point Charles Murphy made the assertion from his seat, that at the time the .German cruiser was off tho coast of British Columbia thero were no torpedoes on the submarines. Mi-. Burrell, while admitting that this was the case, said that the mere fact that they were known to be there probably 'prevented a German attack.

LOCATING OF EXPLOSIVES How Battlefields Will be Cleared of Unexploded Shells When tlie erstwhile* battlefields of Europe aro reclaimed for the peaceful purposes of agriculture there Is an ever-present risk uf death or serious injury to both tho farmers and their horses as the result of ploughshares coming In contact with burled shells that have failed to explode when fired. Recently an engineer was commissioner to devise a method for the discovery and subsequent removal of such shells. His report on the matter was laid before the French Academy of Science, an account of his findings appearing in the Comptes Rendus o£ the academy. The apparatus which was thoroughly tested, is so sensitive that its user can detect by the sounds in the head telephone the proximity of a mere scrap of shell on or near the surface of the ground, or even a tin can. Tho note caused by a shell fragment differs from that caused by a buried shell, so that the trained ear easily distinguishes between the two. Two coils of large diameter are employed; the device being in reality two induction balances, used as one. In the Instruments thus far constructed In France, the diameter of the colls is about 28 inches. The winding of the primary circuit consists of 20 layers, while that of tbe secondary circuit has 10 layers. There windings ore placed on wooden spools of a size not unlike that of the frames of ordinary sieves. Tlie two windings of the same coil aro placed one beside tbe other at a distance of about one centimeter apart, so that the mutual induction of tho primary and secondary circuits will b« brought to tlie neutral state, resulting in the telephone receives remaining silent, in tho absence of any metallic 'mass in tho vicinity of the device. The primary periodic current is produced by four dry cells and an electromagnetic vibrator interrupter of a design similar to those employed on medical coils. To explore the desired territory, the two coils—each of which comprises a primary and secondary winding—aro placed on two vertical sticks attached to tho ends of a horizontal piece of bamboo. An assistant carries tbe device by means of a suitable handle, and walks over the field to be explored, holding the coils of the balance a few centimeters above tbo ground. Tho observer, wearing a telephone head piece and carrying about a box which contains the battery, condenser, vibrator and regulating apparatus, follows at a distance of several feet behind tlio assistant; a flexible conducting cable belnp* employed to connect the exploring coils with tbe apparatus of the observer.

THI EMPIRE AND CANADA ALIKE HAVE BENEFITTED Sir Bam Hughes yesterday told the • house * of commons of the Important work; which Canadian plants and wofkmen have succeeded in accomplishing for the Empire ln the manu- fac|ure of shells, since that industry waa- inaugurated through the efforts of tlie shell committee. Twenty:i;wp mi I) ion shells have been produced. They are'now being shipped at the rate bf 1,100,000 a month. Through the establishment of the industry $350,000,000 has been kept within the Empire. and to the Empire's credit, which would otherwise have been- spent in neutral Countries. And Canadian prices for shells are lower than those of the United States or Australia and, except lit a-few instances, lower than the cost in Great Britain, even though old country manufacturers were bonused. Canada has benefitted directly through the, $350,000,000 received, through the. employment of 90,000 workers, through the use of raw materials-such as metals and -through the establishment of new industries, such as zinc smelting and refining. Indirectly it has benefitted from the gain which has accrued to the Empire as a whole. LABOR'S OVERWHELMING VOTE SHOWS TRUE SITUATION By a vote of 1,870,000 to 20,000 British labor men have given formal approval^ to the action of the Parliamentary Labor party in assisting in the t .national recruiting campaign. While London despatches do not mention the compulsory service bill the vote appears to be virtually an expression of approval of the conduct of ' Arthur Henderson, the Labor representative in tbe cabinet, and other Labor members of the government who withdrew resignations, which they placed in the hands of Premier As- tjuitu when. the bill .wan introduced, and supported the measure. ' , , The sweeping expression of determination, to do all in their power to bring the war to a victorious conclusion ^especially timely in view of the false impression which men of the type bf Phillip Snowden and J. Ramsay Macdonald have endeavored to Create as to the attitude of the labor men of the United Kingdom. The vote drives, home.tho point, which has many times been made since August, 1914, that' the British Labor party has "leaders" who do not lead and who are not representative of any but a small faction of those for whom they pretend to speak.

A slight modification In the chamber bore of the Ross rifle, a change which tho British war office later found tt desirable to make in the Lee- Enfield, has made the weapon entirely satisfactory, General Hughes told the house of commons yesterday. Sir Sam Hughes yesterday shoyfed that Canada had paid the same prices in the United States for pistols as charged to other governments since the war began. American manufacturers who have goods which.are essential to warring nations are not making any cut prices just now. The Dally News Belgian relief fund haa passed the $300 mark. How much will you give for the women and children who are starving because their country was loyal to its honor, to its friends and-to the.

William Pugsley for the Insinuation against Sir Richard McBr.de and Sir Charles Davidson was merited. Mr. Pugsley lias not Improved his position before the country by repeating a charge which has been probed to the bottom and shown to be a slanderous untruth. A former minister of the crown should be above such tactics.

Joseph Conrad went to sea and revealed himself a'great teller of stories, proving the World to be a romance to. the right kind of rover. Masefield ran away to be a sailor and In due season showed himself a poet, both • born and made, .who could find songs and phil osophy alike In -the rough tossing of the waters and the rough hearts of men. These two writers, one of prose and one of verse, have in common the faculty of seeing beneath the obvious facts of. life and- action. "When he wasn't working," says Masefield's former employer, "he stuck to his room all the time; reading books." But this does not explain tho poet. Before he came to the books, he had' learned to read things not to be set In type. New York Sun. OUT Oi BONDAGE AWE GRIP" XND PNEUMONIA • KIN"? ♦'•••♦♦••-» ?*■*+* What, is the-relation between grip and pneumonia? Doctor . Emerson, commissioner of health In New York, has lately advanced the theory that the epidemic which in sweeping the country''is not our old acquaintance, the inflnenze or grip, but a pro'duct of the, pheumo-coccus germ of. pneu-' naoni ; Other authorities have declared that thegrlp shows itself in four .or, more very -different' forms, according as it attacks ' throats, lung, nerves, digestive tract, etc. Which view is correct? Does/me disease take such {protean forms, or Is the peculiar character ascribed to this year's visitation, including a tendency to pneumonia, due to the fact that the penumo-coc- cus is specially prevalent? Whatever the relations/between grip and .pneumonia,- the increased death rate this winter is a reminder tnat pneumonia Is one of the greatest perils that beset the elderly and even those in the prime of strength who ■neglect elementary precautions. Are people nowadays as careful as their grandfathers You'll catch your death o' cold"was Ihe warning of accumulated experience which needed no scientific foundation. Science, indeed, has become, a little less confident. When It began to learn about bacteria lt became prematurely convinced that its knowledge was adequate. It regarded pneumonia as a product of specific ex- 'pc-su're like smallpox or scarlet fever, •and scouted the popular notion that a "cold" could develop it. More ia known now of the great' prevalence of the pnuerao-coccus and the conditions under which it may. break through nature's defenses, but perhaps the defence of vigilance and fear of the unknown has; been relaxed—Springfield, Mass., Republican. FORMAL BLOCKADE CONSIDERED TT • liy PRACTtCABLE The British government's attitude upon the blockade question is that the present system. Is enabling the navy to inflict the maximum damage that is practicable upon enemy ocean trade with' a minimum of hardship upon neutrals: , " ■ *'" The paragraph of'Sir Edward Grey's speech in which. he says that a formal blockade of the; enemy, which would involve a Virtual blockade of neutral ports,'is not possible contains the gist of , the whole, matter; as the. British government sees It. -; '• | By virtue of the doctrine of,continuous voyage .President Lincoln enforced a blockade against goods de signed to reach the - South, but consigned to 'neutral ports, during the American civil war. Sir Edward Grey declares that doctrine is being en forced under- the existing system. He suggests that a blockade would give no greater' advantage. ■■ The chief argument in favor of a format and effective blockade Is .that ita legality could not be questioned: and it would carry with it^the penalty of confiscation, which would teiid strongly to discourage attempts; to break through the blockading fleet. Sir Edward Groy considers it impracticable^ in view of all the circumstances. r: A BLOW TO THE HUNS. :s »»♦>♦» »-»♦♦♦♦♦♦»«>»«■♦ »♦♦»♦«!

SECURITY HOLDERS ASKED TO SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM LONDON, .Ian. 20.—Reginald Mo- Kenna today, said the list of American securities which • the government is willing to purchase,, wtts being" enlarged rapidly so as to .Insure a steadily increasing stream of the stocks and bonds. He emphasized the point that holders of American securities would perform patriotic services by selling them to the government; thereby'enabling it to maintain -stability of the exchange with America and to.safeguard the gold standard. A orowd of. dirty-faced urchins were playing dangerously near th'e edge of a providence 'pier. Suddenly an old salt, who had'been a fidgety onlooker from the cabin of his boat, emerged from his fttvorlte post and proceeded .to soundly'^thrash due of:.'the 3ads in question.

"It was like passing into paradise, said an Englishman, who formed one of the.last-party of civilian prisoners of war-to be: exchanged from the .'internment camp at Ruhleben, in describing his, feelings on safely passing1 over the Gorman/frontier to the friend. ly security of Holland, before the war-be Wns thedirector of large chemical works in. Germany, and"hnd_been interned in tlio camp for 13 months.

"The system in' regard to tlie civilian prisoners was to treat thorn almost ns criminals. In some respects our condition was worse, "for we were not allowed, to.see. any relatives.or friends. Even those who had relatives in Benlin were hot permitted to see them, and if,any of us ever got out on Home pretext or other. We were always accompanied by a ■guard With a fixed bayonet. . "At^ the beginning the life was. intolerable. Many were without beds for weeks, and were obliged to sleep on the concrete floors on\ straw, 'which they had to fetch themselves .from-a place a mile or more away.., And as a number of Russian Poles had. been using the same straw to.sleep on for months, you can imagine its condition. Hardly any of us got out of- our clothes' for weeks. At that time also when our friends at home seritparcels Or money the German public were led to believe that these comforts' -were provided for us by the beneficient German government." ' An unpleasant,iupident occurred on tha kaiser's birthday last January, when the Germans, apparently to irritate their prisoners, insisted on hoist ing the German flag over the camp with a good deal of ceremony. Subsequently the flag was discovered 'lying on tho ground, the cord having been cut. U: course It was' alleged "that one pf the prisoners was'Ihe culprit and a'U were placed under, arrest. But among the interned men It.was believed that the guilty person. was;a Ger-, man desirous of making still worse the lot of the prisoners.; ■ The-lighting; of; the camp* was al-; ways bad, arid the heating often defective. The prisoners understood that there" was a great shortage of coal and that the strictest economy was ordered. -Latterly conditions improved, and thanks largely to the efforts^of the prisoners themselves in conducting the civil government-of the camp, and also to the parcels of comforts seriti from England. Even there, in the heart of the enemy .country, the ublquitoua; Y. .M.'C. A. was to be "found,-and "they wero how. engaged in completing a large building for the 'greater comfort of the1 men. "But the strain on the nerves is sej great that many of ~uq, have had our health seriously affected. The younger men are better off, as they have tiieir sports, but* of the others it is awful.' The swampy nature of the<.Blte ,is bad. for the health, and there is.no. comfort at all.

Jan. 2C—Heavy profit taking by holders swept away in the wheat market today notable Rains which had resulted from bullish Liverpool despatches and from adverse weather conditions. The clone was weak, % net lower to !4c hiffher, with May at $1.8614 and July at $1.26tt. Oats were off 14 and 'provisions unchanged at i.r>c lower. It was not until the last, hour of tho session that tho big realizing sales In wheat turned the market unmistakebly downward. Previous to that time a number of the leading bulls had steadfastly refused to unload but when the fact became evident that export from the United States had virtually come to a standstill prices broadened to such an ex- eent that iprices broke rapidly and brought into play a good many stop loss orders. Word that the Canadian government hod" ordered three railroads to begin moving immense quantities of commandeered -wheat to the swiboard tended apparently tn shake the confidence oi, holders here. New high price record for the 1915 crop was made in the wheat market today for the fourth time in four successive days. Tho temporary fresh strength today was based mainly on advices that consumption of the supply Ip Great Rrllafn was exceeding the arrival. Storms cutting down receipts In'the nortnVest remained a bullish factor and so too, did chances of cold wave damage in Kansas and other important winter -wheat states.

I (By Daily News Leased .Wire.) NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The trend of today's session must ljave been a source of disappointment, to those who hoped that the construct!^ factors employed by the resumption of the United States Steel common dividend and that corporation's remarkable statement of earnings would lift tho market out of Us .recent pessimistic mood. Stocks were strong at the outset, mainly In consequence of extensive short covering, but before the noon hour prices receded with a succession of irregular declines, which more than offset most Initial gains, in fact, minimum quotations were lowest ln many Instances for many weeks. . Various theories were again offered to explain tho market's failure to respond to good news. .Further foreign liquidation was accepted as the choice of the obstacles, although domestic developments, siteh as tho threatened contest between the railroads and their employees, Assumed, considerable Importance. Washington's refusal to accept Berlin's terms in the settlement of the Lusitaiila incident, also figured In the calculations of the trading element.. United States Steel was, of course, tho foremost feature, opening with an offering of 15,000 shares at 86 to 85%, declining to HV/*, and closing at that price, a net loss of a point. Dealings in Steel were again in largely preponderant, exceeding the combined output of other leading Issues-. All sections of the list contributed to the initial advance with virtually no losses but before the end of the first hour realizing and short selling completely reversed the early order. Heaviness of the rails, which was most acute in the final hour was the most disconcerting feature, Canadian Pacific falling 5 to 168, with 1 to 2 points decline in other Investment Issues, while high priced specialties were 3 to 7 points lower. Among the few noteworthy exceptions to the lowering movement .were the Mercantile Marine issues. Transactions In Marines were ho large as to convey the belief in. an eariy announcement of the reorganization plan. Bethlehem Steel fell 17% to 456; International 'Nickel 13 to 202; Cuban- American Sugar 7 to 176 and. Willys- Overland 6 lo 212 in the feverish,operations immediately preceding the close.

CARTER, District Passenger Agent, Nelson, B.C. Ldvertisements Ure Real Business-Getters (By Prof. Arthur Lakes.) There aro a number of, so-callea •rare" an well as useful minerals that •nay await discovery and development in British Columbia. ,. Some of these have already heen found and turned to account bin a good many havo not been systematically looked for or evon recognized when found. The/ peculiar- value and importance of somo of these minerals In these war times Is their utility In hardening steel for. war purposes, others nro of general commercial, scientific and sometimes medical use. Amongst these we may enumerate a few:. Antimony, bismuth, platinum, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, chromato of Iron and manganese. Antimony Is not so very uncommon and occurs In many of the mines of the United States and has no doubt been recognised hero and there ln some of those of Canada and British Columbia. Magnificent crystals of antimony are sometimes to be seen in large minora- logical museums. They are several inches in length and a group of them resemble a number of steel bayonets or the polished barrels of revolvers. These obme from Japan. Antimony is a steel-grey mineral sometime* occurring in fibrous crystals or in masses, grains or flakes or Impregnating sche- stone roqks. It takes a chemical test to distinguish it from other minerals It resembles. It is largely used in type metal and in Babbitt metal for axle wheels and electric motor-cars, also iii glass and rubber manufacture.! Bismuth is not unlike antimony but rarer. It has a peculiar property of lowering the melting point of alloys. A property utilized in automatic sprinklers against fires In department stores. It is also, used In medicine as a tonic, also as a cosmetic and in dentistry. Quicksilver in America Is distilled by heat from a beautiful rose-colored ore called cinnabar, found1 in California, Nevada and Arizona, also in Spain. Thero is no geological reason why lt might not bo, found in British Columbia. Ferrp tungsten, or tungstate of Iron I* nn | intensely hard, black or dark brown mineral, which may occur here and there in patches In a quartz vein. It rls usod for hardening armor piercing projectiles and tho plates of battleships. In the United States lt In valued at from $6 to $60 per unit of 20 pounds. It is quite likely to be found in the mines of British Columbia If searched.for. ' Molybdenite, although occurring sparingly and scatterlngly in scheiton* or Igneous rocks, is not very uncommon and on Sheep Creok^* near Salmo, B. c„ a few miles from Kelson, are some important nnd promlsttig-'detibsits In process of development.-:1 Molybdenite is a silvery-white, 'shining, soft metal, occurring In flakes and grains commonly permeating, achiatone rocks. Its composition Is molybdic acid and iron: it is a molybdate of iron. It resembles graphite but is more silvery and lustrous. It ia. used in making smokeless powder, "steel, electric light bulb and ih dyeing. According to A. B. Frenzol, commissioner of rare minerals for Colorado, In an article In the Mining American,, of Denver, Colo,, new. processes for .concentrating and treating molybdenite have recently been discovered by" Denver parties. A recent 'v&liuinTeVhapJ for molybdenite has been' found'as a'sUb- stltuto for the rare nnd costly metal platinum, valued at- from $20 to $65 an ounce. Illie principal supply of this metal wns from tho Ural mountains in Russia, which has been out 'off since the war. British Columbia ha's shown considerable platinum in the,rplean.- ups of Its placer gold mine*, it hits also the honor of beliig the qnly region ln which platinum has heen found in places in certain varieties of igneous rock, but not in sufficiently '/concentrated quantity as to be mined or to be of commercial value. By: eareful handling of the clean-ups of -placers In- this province wo may annually recover a few ounces of this exceedingly scarce and valuable mineral, ,'-,'^ i Tin is a much to bo desired, but rare metal in America. ' There Is oiily qne producing tin mine in North America and that is at El Paso, Tcxaai'i small mine outputting a tevr- ingots, annually. Indications of tin ore nave been found In various parts of" North NOTICE. Tho adjourned annual meeting of tho Nelson Board of Trade will be Held in tho Board rooms on Thursday, Jan. 27 nt 8 p.m.' Election of officers for 1916. (2269) „ D. C. MbMORBIS, Secretary. America and thero is no geological reason why tin should not bo found In British . Columbia. Crystals of tin found in quartz voins as in the. mine at El Paso are very like com non iron garnets but very much harder and heavier. Other Metals Of the other metals mentioned, vanadium, titanium, cbromate. of iron and munaganese. These are all moro or loss used,in the manufacture and hardening of stool for war and other purposes. Geologically there is nothing In the way of the occurrence of all these minerals in British Columbia. A brief general description of them as they may appeal- at sight is all that can l)e given hyin article like this, but a. miner or prospector should bring to the cliemlHt or assayer any mineral he finds In the field that lie does not plainly recognize and have it tested, ftr. this is tho only way of determining most of these minerals.

MIES GIVES ISO 0 BELGIANS Little Listowell, Ont., Tot Sends Money to Feed One Belgian Child for a Month. MONTREAL, Jan. 26.—Among the donations that havo tipme into the hands oC the Belgian relief committee in oho of $2.50 from m-baby-girl in Listowell, Ont., "who just hates Germans." Perhaps everyone may not approve of tho sentiment which prompted the fflft, hut this litllo tot's money will provide t'ho food that will keep the breath of life for one month iu some other little one who, perhaps, also hates Germans for an even 'better reason. Life for a month! Few Canadians can realize what that meann. The Belgians—three million ot them— are living from hand to mouth. They have no monoy with which to buy food, there is no food to buy eve,n if there were money, no food except that provided through the generosity of their friends overseas. i Wheal, is their one great need and Canada can supply it. If every 'little tot in Canada hated Germans $2.5,0 worth, many a shipload of the much needed wheat would go to feed tho hungry Belgian kiddies.

MUCH DISCUSSION AS TO CHAMP ON MAT Boxing Game Is Not Only Sport Where Titles Are Argued—Wrestlers Make Claims. Who is champion catch-as*catch- ean wrestler? Joe Stecher, the new western mat sensation, says the Butte Miner, will soon arrive he.ro claiming the honor, ."Strangier" Lewis, .one. of the stars of the Manhattan opera house tournament, declares that he has the only valid and legal claim to it. The controversy is somewhat similar to the welterweight and middleweight titular disputes tn boxing. Frank Gotoh started the wrestling, disruption when he retired with his "title -to his farm in Iowa just after he had sue ceBSfully defended his crown against Hackenschmldt in their famous—or in famous—match in American league ibaseball park in Chicago. Who Gotch Named. After his retirement Gotch named Htenry Orderman and Jess Wester- gaard as the logical contenders for the throne he vacated, just as Jim Jeffries selected Tommy Burns and Mar- ■vin Hart to fight for the world's heavyweight title when he left the ring. Orderman and Westergaard met, with Gotch refereeing, and Orderman was the victor. The match started the process of succession by which LewlB asserts he succeeded to the championship. ' Billy Sandow, Lewis' manager, discussing and supporting his protege's claims, said: "Orderman, by defeating Westergaard, succeeded to Gotoh's title. Now I will show you how Lewis comes by his claim to it. After Oderman won from Westergaard-, he was matched with Charlie Cutler in a bout advertised as a championship affair. They met in Minneapolis and Cutler won, throwing Orderman twice In 37 minutes "Then Cutler met Dr. Roller at Ben ton Harbor, Mich., with Ed. Smith as referee. Cutler was then regarded as the champion by virtue of his victory over Orderman. Roller beat Cutler, registering two falls In lens than an hour. "Roller then met Lewis ln defense of his world's title. They faced each other twice in championship matches at Wheeling; Va, Roller won the first match and retained the championship, but ln their second contest Lewis was the victor. Carl Stein refereed both bouts. Lewis defeated Roller two out of three falls. This was last May. Lewis won the first fall In less than an hour. Then Roller threw Lewis in 22 minutes. Lewis came back and won the third and championship-deciding fall in 14 minutes. x "After defeating Roller and winning the title, Stecher challenged Lewis. They met at Evansvllle, Ind., last October, Bert Sclsson was the third man In the ring. The men wrestled to a draw, the time being two hours and' 10 minutes," FORESTERS CONDUC JOINT INSTALLATION Court Royal Nelson and Court Elian Appoint Now Officers at Mooting of Both Court.
