(By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Muy 24.—Tlie debate in tiio 'house of lords on tho aerial .service was resumed today. Earl Curzon said tho reason why tho government had not created a. "ministerial department to tako chargoof aeronautics was tho lack of agreement between the war office and the admiralty on this subject. He believed that both departments would havo resisted a measure providing for an air ministry and that unless their vjlews 'are harmonized there would be no Justification for putting forward such a project. The nation has reason to he proud of its aoriul servico which had accomplished great things, Earl Curzon continued. Tiio defense) of London and of tho -country at large, he said, wero n hi eh moro formidable at present than thoy were a short time ago. Looking at the rise of the nation's air service from almost nothing at the beginning of tiio war, Lord Curzon said lie considered It an enterprise second to none in the world and believed that It need not fear -comparison with tho German air servico. Another reason for not creating a ministry of aeronautics, added Lord Curzon, was that the setting of tho machinery to ttliat end at work in tiie midst of the war would havo meant a tremendous effort and might have exercised a disturbing Influence. His personal opinion was that such a ministry, was destined to come, but ho would rather sGo it come us military compulsion had come, aa a gradual agreement among all those interested. Lord Curzon then announced that tho new. aerial board to advise the admiralty and tlie war ofHco In regard to air services and designs of machines of which Lord Curzon is chairman, would comprise Rear Admiral Frederick Charles Tudor, Roar Admiral Charles L. Vaughn-Lee, Major Sir David Henderson, Gen. W. S. Brackner, Lord Sydenham and Major Baird. Lord Curzon explained that tho policy of the new board would be to explore questions relating to aerial service in every direction in an endeavor to form a policy for the two services and provide them with machinery for carrying out that policy. Baron Montague of Benulieu, form-. er vice-chairman of the joint naval and military board, then tried to press to a division tha resolutlbn which lie moved yesterday complaining against divided control of the national air-service but he was unable to secure tellers and therefore was obliged to withdraw the i'osolutton, ' LOT WITH SOT Voices Defense of Missing' Liberal Official SAYS HE TOOK RICH COURSE WITH LIS Brewster Reveals He Has Communicated With Man Wanted (By Staff Correspondent.)

He said the Liberal secretary who has been connected with tho plugging was appointed after lie made full inquiries into his qualifications for the work and he believed that in handing tho "crooked" list of "not to be challenged" names to Asliworth Anderson without any comment Scott followed tlie right course. Whether-Scott believed the list was genuine or not, Mr. Macdonald said ho agreed with Scott that that official's business was simply to hand it over to Anderson who was chairman of-tiio Liberal voters' list committee. This was the list of several hundred names of which' Anderson discovered about two-thirds wero of absentees and dead men nnd which was one of those R. R.

Macdonald and recounted the steps he took to frustrate their activities which included asking immigration officials to hold thorn up at tho border and* the receipt of a promise that everything possible in that direction would be done. Alter Mr. Reid's evidence Mr. Brewster complained to tha committco that tho issuance of a warrant for the arrest of.

Incidentally tho Liberal leader made tlie admission that on Monday he had been In telegraphic communication witli Scott, who said ho was ready to uppe when tho Liberals wanted him. lie thought tho warrant was an attempt to keep Scott away. Ernest Miller retorted that the committee had had a subpoena out for Scott for a week or ten days und the police liad been unable to find him, A great many threats wero made by tho Liberals early In tho inquiry which had a tendency to keep witnesses away and he had pointed out that the immunity order gave them protection. "Now- If an honest man like Scott can't como beforo tho committee for fear of arrest then tlie Inference is plain," suid thu member for Grand Forks sarcastically.

Germany's Man of Peace Prince von Bueiow, one of the foro* most statesmen of Europe, has been referred to frequently in tlie last feW months as the man who might bo selected by Emperor William to conduct preliminary peace negotiations should they be undertaken. Ho haa been mentioned In this connection not only oh account of his experience and recognized ability, but because he had occupied a rather detached position, so far as actual conduct of the war is concerned.

VICTORY SENDS WAVE OF HOPE THROUGH ALL FRANCE (liy Daily Ntvvs Leased Wire*) PARIS**}, May 21.—The success of the offensive undertaken by General Klvcllo, the commander at Verdun, and the results obtained have sent a wavo of hope and encouragement through the country. The Germans are said to have thrown in every possible reserve to -restore tlie balance, French officers t-ay the German crown prince has boon using 80,000 men In his efforts to swamp the Ifi'erieh positions east and west of Doad Man's hill and to gain advantages between that point and Hill :i0-l. Thus far the efforts have aceompllshed little, Tho great advantage of Lhe success obtained by the French In Dou-uu-Mqnt region lies In the fact that this district is the highest in the vicinity and therefore permits artillery observation which Is fur superior to any In the district. Deputy Andre Tardieu, foreign editor of the Temps, writes that the offensive thus has been carried out over a front of less than 25 miles and that It has failed invariably since the defenders have had time to brlng^up reserves. The optalun is expressed by. M, Tardieu that in order for tho entente allies to conduct a successful offensive it will bo necessary to carry it on simultaneously over all of their fronts. At present the allies havo not sufficient material to do this, although they possess means of producing that material. Hence, the proper pulley, ho writes, is to continue ou tho defensive for tiio present, the material now available being sufficient to woar down the man power of their adversaries. When the war material of tho allies exceeds that of the Germans aa their forces bf men now do, the victory M. Tardieu concludes, will bo virtu-* ally a mathematical certainty.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, May 24.—In the vernacular of the speculative element today's market went through the process ot "healthy" reaction. Investment issues as well aa specialties developed marked heaviness on fairly large dealings. Washington's note to the British government anent mail detentions and tho French admission of a German gain in the Verdun sector formed the basis of bearish sentiment, but in all likelihood today s reversal resulted' chiefly from the belief that the upswing had proceeded to rapidly for safety, \ Reading, which led the recent advance on its series of new high records, culminating in tho previous day's maximum of MQ'% was no less conspicuous in the decline, falling to 103% and closing at lOU'/is* Other active mils were lower by 1 to more than 2 points at irregular intervals, with the exception of Rock Island which was in marked demand at an extreme gain of U'^iit 2i%, presumably in consequence of the company's earnings and progress toward a friendly reorganization. Tlie movement of specialties was confusing, suggesting a conflict between tho short and long aecounts, but higher prices prevailed after midday. Mexicans were once more active and strong on "intervention'* talk. Automobile shares for the most part added to yesterday's substantial advances with a new high record for Chandler Motors on its 5 point rise to 105%. Such war and semi-war stocks as the Locomotives, Crucible Steel, General Electric, Westinghouse and United In dustrlal Alcohol were galvanized into renewed activity and strength on reports of additional foreign contracts, Coppers were firm to strong and shipping shares particularly Mercantile Marine .preferred figured prominently at high1- levels. United States Steel was firm most of the session hut fell back with the entire list in the final hour, when Beading and other favorites wore at minimum prices, tho markef; closing with a heavy tone. Total sales of stocks, 790,000 shares, Reading contributing almost it quarter of the whole. Foreign exchange, notably sterling, continued heavy despite additional receipts of gold from Canada. ■Reasons for the recent activity In Wabash shares at material gains were found in the April statement of the road, showing an increase of $580,000 over the same month last year. - Bonds were Irregular on ai^ expansion of operations. Total sales, par value, ^$4,680,000. , WHEAT PRICES SHOW TO Sharp Advance 'During Session Due to Crop Damage Reports Followed by Reaction. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) ■CHICAGO, Ul., May 24.—Notwithstanding that peace rumors led to a bearish reaction in the last hour the wheat market today continued to hold something of a sharp advance which .had resulted chiefly from increased reports of crop damage in Oklahoma and southern Kansas. Prices closed unsettled lfe to % net higher, with July at 109% and September at $1.10%. Oats closed unchanged to % higher and provisions varied from the same as yesterday's close to 12e advance. Until speculators began to appreciate the possible significance whicli the reported mission of Prince vou Hue- low to the United States might have as a definite move for an early( peace, the wheat market was uniformly on the upgrade. Excessive heat and absence of rain in Oklahoma and neighboring parts of Kansas had caused decided enlargement of burnt areas of the fields and led to predictions of an abnormally shrunken yield. Bullish sentiment was further emphasized 'by fresh reports of Hessian fly damage Iii Indiana and by advices telling of reduced acreage In the northwest on both sides of the Canadian boundary. Two cents a bushel was added to values In some cases before the advance was checked. Skepticism regarding the authenticity of the news regarding Prince von Bueiow prevented the bears from obtaining a more complete control of tho wheat market during the late trading, The fact that the report was without confirmation from German sources did much to impair the- effect on prices. Sufficient Importance was attached to the peace outlook, however, to induce lively selling on tho part of some lead Ing houses that beforehand were conspicuous on the buying side. Damage reports from Oklahoma tended to lift the oats market. Ad vices, however, wero favorable us to the central states. Scarcity of Argentine beef was said to be a factor of bringing about higher prices In provisions, Tho chief In fluence, however, was an advance in the value of hogs. METAL MAIRKET. .

COUNTRY POSSE8ED BY AN ARMY In an interesting .article on Germany in the Nineteenth Century, .T. ] Sills Barker quotes a French military attache at Berlin us having said just before tiie Franco-Prussian war that rnssia was not a country which had in army but an army that possessed country. Four decades of experience f Prussian militarism that have culminated In the present struggle have not shaken thnt view. Germany is -tilt an auxiliary to Its army. Mr, Unrkcr points out how tho German iririy gained its tremendous prestige rnd influence. Tlie war of 180*1 against. Denmark listed only a. few daysj Tlie war ot Prussia against Austria was begun at lluhnenvasser on .Tune 2fi, ISfili, and tn July 3 the decisive battle of Konig- ITfltz was won. On July li), 1K70, France declared war on Prussia. By !>ept. 2, Napoleon III. and his entire i.rmy hud been made prisoners at Sedan, and the remaining two French armies liad been severely defeated and had withdrawn to Metz. which was ilosely invested by German troops. The issue of tiie war had been decided jy a month's fighting. All Germany ooked for another lightning campaign, it tlie outbreak of the present war. If the effect of failure is tlie converse of the effect of success, the crushing defeat of Germany's army must be dealt before peace is agreed upon should in itself free the world from future aggression from Germany. But the defeat must be complete. ONE FUNDAMENTAL IN ENSURING PEACE .President Tuft's "League to Enforce Peace" recognizes a fundamental principal which advocates proposals for making war impossible usually lost-sight ot. It recognizes that law and order cannot be maintained unless there is some force behind it. For the great powers to agree on universal I disarmament, even if such a plan wero practicable, would be as foolish as for Ithe province anrt cities of British j Columbia to agree on the abolition oC j police service. Tlie league's plan in bread terms ia to bring about tlie establishment of a j combination of nations pledged to up | hold peace. There arc difficulties hi I the way of making such a proposal I effective, but good may bo accomplish-- j ed by league members providing they j discuss tlie matter with the basic prln- ! cipal of the necessity for force always ■ before their eyes. ++1 WHAT THE P"*SS 'SSAY1NQ t Unconquerable Belgiunp.

We will never sheath the sword until Belgium is restored to her full national rights and until generous reparation is made to her for all that she has suffered. There aro other aims in this war precipitated by Germany's unholy ambition; but tho restoration of Uelglum's national independence is the foremost aim; and whatever the cost the allies will continue tho war until lhat aim is fully realized,—London Chronicle. How to Address the Court. Chief Justice Meredith and Mr. Justice Duff have let It be understood that while they aro presiding at the investigation of tho Kyte-charges, tliey wish to be addressed not as My Lord, but as Mr. Commissioner, The use of tho titles "My Lord'' and "Your Lord ship*' in connection with judges of the higher courts is not universal In Can a da. Without referring to what may ibe the practise In Quebec and of this wo aro not sure, iu Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island all judges- are addressed as "your Honor." The stylo adopted. The style adopted in Ontario and western points not obligatory. Our judges are not •lord justices. There can bo no objection to calling a judge, while acting in his official capacity "My Lord," but to refer to him. at other times by such a title is unwarranted. Ono of our best loved judges once said: "I'm not as young as | was, but i can lick any man who calls mo 'your Lordship;' when I'm not on Uie beiicli."—Victoria Colonist. A Little Bet in New York. To the Editor of tiio New York Times: A German acquaintance was so positive that Gorman forces would capture '.Vordtin ho wagered tbo inclosed $5 that the Germans would be ih possession of Verdun in less than a month, Tho month has just expired, and the French army is still doing business at the old stand, lt would ibe most gratifying to the. writer, a humble- Englishman, if.the $5 could be devoted to benefit tile troops defending Verdun.

But day after day witnesses had been asked if they knew of Scott's whereabouts, Mr. Brewster said he did not know a subpoena was out, To Parker Williams Mr. Miller pointed out that Scott was in tbe same position as others with regard to immunity. Mr. Miller reserved his cross-examination of Mr, Macdonald which/is expected to produce some Interesting testimony. James Reid, 'Vancouver license inspector, said John L. Sullivan gave him the letter from Tom Carroll. He read it over and saw the contents were of Importance to the Conservative party. Reid therefore took tiie letter to C. E. Tisdall who asked him to give it. to Fred Welsh or some other of the campaign managers. He gave Uie.letter to Welsh. *•** Tisdall said: "You surely don't think Jim, they're going to run in piuggers on us?" "1 said it looked like it," witness related. There Was a statement in the letter that Carroll had ibeen asked to round up a number of men in Seattle for election purposes. Thero was also some reference to Can-oil hoping lie was, not working against J. L. Sullivan's interests. confidence in tlie Liberals he explained. To Mr. Miller witness said Sullivan's attitude when ho sent for .him was that be wanted to stop the piuggers from coming in. It was with the same purpose that Reid went to Tisdall and Welsh. Witness spoke personally to an immigration official over lite phone and was assured they would stop as many of these men at the line as tliey could. Macdonald Careful Witness. Mr. Malcolm Archibald Macdonald gave evidence with care. Every statement he made was clear and concise and it. would be difficult to misinterpret his meaning. Afflicted with intense physical nervousness he did not retain one position in his chair for longer than half a minute and was usually twitching- something., in ids hand. Mr. Brewster asked him questions from ibluc: papered memoranda and in most cases it was necessary merely to refer to certain topics and somo explanation was forthcoming, Tbe witness was president of the ■provincial* Liberal association and chairman of the provincial organization committee. ■ Mr. Scott had come to Vancouver probably a year ago. He bad-been working in some of the ward associations as well as on the Sun newspaper and during the last part of last year the six Liberal candidates liad obtained his assistance for canvassing wor1' Owing to the serious condition of the voters' list there was a tremendous amount of work to be done. The city and district Li'beral association was not in a position to" do the work themselves and the six Liberal candidates arranged with Scott to Irok after it. Mr. Macdonald explained that the provincial organization committee was composed of representatives from all over tlie province. He had followed the tfsual practise lof writing to all the members as to the conditions existing and asking them..to attend a meeting of tbe committee at which It was proposed to appoint Scott, They were asked if tliey could not be present to state their views by letter. He had personally seen nearly all tlie Vancouver and Victoria members. Prior to that he had made-Sis full an investigation as possible into Scott's qualifications. 1. I There were three byelectjons pend*- ing at the time of Scott's appointment, Mr. Macdonald continued, and tbe provincial association was giving assista- unce toy way of suggestion and advice to all these constituencies as had also been Seott and G.\ B. Patterson of the city association. Tliey had some hundreds of dollars. In the provincial treasury and tiiey Were in a position to keep up that provincial organization work. The city organization was not prepared and it was on that account that tbe provincial organization had gone to work and employed canvassers und other workers for (he byeleetion campaign. After the city organization could get under wav and get money it assisted in tho campaign. Recommended Donnelly. There bad been no available financial support until comparatively late lu tbe campaign and they were insisting, as a. matter of* fact,\hat the city organization relieve them of that responsibility. Continuing, witness thought that he liad recommended the appointment of Patrick Donnelly as campaign manager. He knew that be liad recommended that Mr. Anderson should be chairman of the voters' list und that D. LO. McTaggart toe chairman of the scrutineers committee. The former had indicated in a previous campaign that be had a splendid aptitude for detailed work and the checking up was an Important feature in tho campaign because thejr- did not want any impersonating-done, Mr. Macdonald said be had employed Mr. Reddington of the Thiel Detective agency to keep a .yrutch on any attempts to personate. The witness had done so from his own personal knowledge of political conditions in the province. He remembered the occasion of liis first political campaign in Cranbrook in 1901) when he declared illegal work liad been done. *One man admitted that he had voted against him seven times. There had also been ckses at Fernie. The condition of the voters' list opened the door wide to conditions of this sort. Witness had spoken to Donnelly, the, campaign manager, about the engagement of Reddington, informing him that he would engage this man as his contribution towards the campaign fund. For obvious reasons he had not mentioned the matter to anyone else. It had been loft to lteddlngton's discretion as to what course ho should pursue In liis investigations, witness liad not suggested placing a man in the Conservative committee rooms. Concerning the Lists. Turning to John T. Scott's connection with sundry voters' lists, witness explained that tho'night before the by- election McTaggart and Mr, Housei* proper course in handing it to Anderson even, if he felt it was a crooked list and that is the stand Scott took.". "Did you hear anything more about that list previous to the election?" "No." "And now as -to the instructions to scrutineers mentioned in previous testimony regarding voters ibetween "R. and W" prompted Mr. Brewster. Witness* did not know that those were the particular letters. He had met McTaggart on the street' on election day andfvicTaggart had told htm about the instructions received at one. polling plaoe not to swear men coming there between certain letters. -^ He asked McTaggart to go over to that particular polling booth and tell them to ignore all instructions except those by McTaggart himself. The Annance case was then touched on. Witness said that late at night before the elections, McTaggart had told him that Annance had been getting men to go to the Calumet rooms at 7 o'clock tho following morning McTaggart had mentioned the name, of Eldridge, whom witness knew to be the secretary of the ward association, and therefore a man of some responsibility. McTaggart,had tofd him that it had been Liberals who liad been told to go around to the rooms. Tho joint conclusion arrived at by McTaggart and himself had been that Eldridge and the other Liberals should go to tho rooms and ***keep their eyes open." The Investigation Committee. The. member told of the appointment of an investigation committed after the election and of McTaggart and Anderson going to the rooms to get information. The witness expressed himself as willing. lhat any personal matters toe inquired into to tho full,; any rumors, suspicious or anything else. He could answer for the Liberal association that there was nothing that they would not have investigated. Ho ■ did rot believe that there was any individual Inside the party knew of any additional money and it was his sworn opinion that there was ho One outside '■buti interested in the party who did anything-in connection with it. Mr. Macdonald said that as far as he personally was concerned, he did not object to going into the evidence of Gosden In connection with the pending perjury charge, but his counsel had advised him not to make any statement. "I can sny this, however," concluded Macdonald. "The whole thing Is dastardly falsehood. I am referring to the statement that Goshen made that I paid him $50." CELEBRATION IN EDMONTON.

Nelson kicked off before a stiff breeze and it was plain to be 'seen that the game was going to bo a fast one, although the grounds were not to the liking of the Nelson boys. After about 10 minutes of play Trail scored tho first goal after some clever forward play engineered by Wilson. From tbe kickoff Celle of Nelson look the ball down ou a nice run and centered, one of the opposing halves falling within tbe penalty area and from the resulting kickoff Capt. Kidd equalized. Shortly afterward Trail scored again after some fine forward play. Nelson once -more equalized from a corner kick by Sternstrom, which Celle bustled through cleverly. Trail played the faster game In the first period, but the second half was easily in favor of the Nelson boys, hard, luck keeping them from scoring, Tlie stars for the Trail team were Borland, Wilson ahd Cunliffe, while Nelson was best assisted by Celle, Harrison aud Talbot. Freeman played well between the sticks for Nelson. The lacrosse game between Nelson and Trail, which was another feature of the Trail sports also was played to a draw, the score being 5—5. Tho game, on account of poor grounds, was not as fast as might have been expected from the players taking part, but there was some good stick handling e.nd clever combination shown. The line-up for the two lacrosse teams was as follows: Nelson. Trail. Goal. Schcrmerhorn Boyes Point. Ronan McDonouglf Cover. Williamson Valentine First Defense. Marquis Eller Second Defense. Pitts Berg Centre. Murphy Crowe First Home. Turner Grant Second Home. Richardson Fraser Outside. Manhart O'Leary Inside. Rudy Ferguson OLD BIL L BEAR BITES THE DUST Havager of Meat House at the Eureka Mine Falls to the Unerring Aim of uook Graham Then lie up with liis gun and old Bill Bear bit thu dust. Time: 2:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Place: Eureka mining camp on Eagle creek. Party of the first'part: Old Bill Bear. Party of tiio second part: Thomas Graham, camp cook. Party of the third part: Parly of miners who ate the best liart uf old BItl Bear at a supper party Tuesday night. Old BUI Bear, so the story goes, had lived around tlie Eureka mine for the past four years, visiting tho camp meat house in spring when times were bad and helping himself to an occo. slonal joint, lt is said that old Bill, whoso hid, now on the way to Van couver in company with his venerable head, is as black as a hat, had come to look upon the camp meat houso as specially provided for him by all wise Providence and used it to good ad vantage, without by-your-leave or apology, whenever the pangs of hunger di-ove him to seek animal food. As the seasons passed, this idea became 80 firmly fixed In BUI Bear's venerable head (now on the way to (lip taxidermist at Vancouver) that when this- spring came and vegetable food was scarce, he followed bis usual jilan and made a little trip to the meat house, walked right in and turned right around and walked right out again—with a good sized Joint. Loud wero the lamentations of tho cook and lurid the language of tho superintendent and Old Bill's ears must have been more than warm as he polished off the fine beef bone up in his den and rolled up for a nap. Mr. Superintendent took down his gun and searched long and earnestly for tho old black rascal, but found him not, so once again Old Bill made a trip to camp and enjoyed a fine meat meat in the solitude and comfort of his favorite cave, but the third trip broke the'charm. On Tuesday morning, about 2:30 o'clock ,so the story still goes, old Bill Bear took another hitch to his belt and rambled down the mountain to the Eureka camp, but his theology had never quite reconciled Itself to the presence of humans in Providence's scheme for his sustenance, so before going after another cut of fresh meat he snooped around a hit. Unfortunately for old Bill Bear there had beon a light fall of siiow during the night and doubly unfortunate for poor old Bill, Thomas the cook was awoke and heard blm snooping. Reaching for his gun, Thomas cautiously emerged from the bunk bouse and there stood old Bill Bear, outlined black against snow. Bang! Bang!— and so the story ends. Old Bill Beai-'s big black hide and venoi'able head are on their way to the taxidermist at Vancouver, the crew at the Eureka mine sat down to a fine bear stew on Tuesday evening and tho soul of old Bill Bear, wherever It is, knows now that Providence hadn't a thought for him when the meat was hung In tho meat houBe.
