(By Dally News Leased Wire.) NORTH BAY, Ont., Aug. 8.—Temis- kamlng & Northern Ontario railway officials report that tbe heavy downpour of ruin during the last 24 hours has partly extinguished the fires in the northern country. Word has been received that a good portion of the town of Gowganda has been wiped out by fire. The loss by fire at Gowganda included the principal business section. No lives were lost, the lake being handy to the town. The telephone exchange was burned, hence communication was cut off temporarily.

With the exception of the Miller lake mines, Gowganda has practically been at a standstill for the last two years. Speech Following Review One of Most Remarkable Ever Made by British War Minister (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 8.—"I have no words to adequately express my admiration for the splendid appearance of your men," said Lloyd George to Gen. Hughes after the war minister had finished his review., 'It was Lloyd George's first pu*buc military ceremony since liis new appointment. He spoke with reason, for the division surprised even those who know it well. Its equipment and perfection in detail were worthy of comparison with the older regular armies. The men's physique surprised every one, some battalions, particularly the Highlanders and Grenadiers, seemed like long lines of giants. Lloyd George's speech at the close of the review, delivered before the officers, was one of the most remarkable orations ever uttered by a British war minister. It was profoundly religious, deeply moving his hearers. The speech was instinct with the sense; of victory.

LONDON, Aug. 8—Russia's new victories south of the Dniester and southwest of tlie Stunislau-lvolomea railway afford much satisfaction here and the prompt admission in the Berlin official statement of the retirement of thi Austro-Germans south of the DnleH'.ir is taken to indicate that tlie Ru;isl.in victory in Ibis quarter is weightier than yet announced by the Rujsian, official despatches. According to an, unofficial report the evacuation ot Lemberg, capital of Galicia, already lias been ordered. A proclamation foreshadowing tho surrender of Lemberg, capital of Galicia, was issued by the governor of the city Aug. '1, says an Exchange Telegraph despatch 'from Bucharest. On tlie same date the despatch adds, tlie evacuation or tho city by the civilian population was begun. The proclamation declared the Austrians would return shortly to wrest Lemberg from the Russians. Scores New Victory. PETROGRAD, Aug. 9.—Gen. Letc- hltsky, who a week ago despite flooded rivers and heavy roads began anew hla hammering of the right flank of Gen. Count von Bothmer's army, and by a cavalry, attack took Ezerzuny,* has scored a new victory by the capture o£ Tluimu'b. io miles farther to the northwest. There has been little news from that section, but It is apparent, that Gon. Letehiisky has been following up liis success along a front of 10 miles south of the Dniester in the face of German reinforcements sent to strengthen von Bothmer's right wing. The taking of Tlumach cuts the railway between Stanislau, Tysmienica and BuozacK, which bus been utilized! the Austrians for supplying the southern cud of von Bothmer's front and gives the Russians another direct venue of attack on Stanislau. The .Austrians tried to offset tho force of Letchitsky's assault by fierce un tor-attacks along the Koropico river northward, but without: avail. They were repulsed with severe losses. At the same time a Russian offensive is being pushed against von Bothmer's left flank, south of Brody. A group of villages centering about Za- loeKo on tlie headwaters of tho Sereth, have been captured anil each day's developments show a further advance westward, the evident intention beintf to tap the railway between Tarnopol and Lemberg, which offers an easier line of advance with fewer rivers and natural barriers to the Galician capita.- Gain on 15-Mile Front.

Summer-Spoiled Skin Removed by Absorption v.- As undue summer exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan, redness or roughness, often freckles, too, the sensible thing to do Is to remove such surface. There's nothing better for this than ordinary mercolized wax, which actually absorbs an unwholesome complexion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed, gently, gradually, so there's no inconvenience, no detention indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take It off ln the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of mercolized wax at the drug Ktore, uHe it for a week or so, you may expect marked improvement dally. When the underlying skin Is wholly in view your complexion will be a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful whiteness. Don't let summer wrinkles worry you; worry breeds more wrinkles. Banish them by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in % pt witch hazel, Used dally for a while this will be found wonderfully effective. WAY 0 S NOW CLUED (Continued from Page One.) than passing attention for it constitutes the one natural obstacle to the British advance and having passed it, Gen. Haig's troops are now on the downhill slope for the most part, striking straight for Bapaume. This ridge begins near Thiepval, on the edge of the valley of the Ancre brook and extends in rather broken outline almost due east and west through Pozieres and Combles. The bills are named after the elevation in metres given on French general staffs' maps. The highest point in the ridge is Hill 160, which is ju.st north of Pozieres and is included in the latest success of the Anzacs. Hill 160 is just over 500 feet high. At .this point the British are about 130 feet higher than they were when they started from their old line trenches northeast of Albert, where the ground Is marked of? the French staff maps by the figures 121. West of Pozieres and north of Thiepval the ridge is 152 metres high, or about 27 feet lower than near Pozieres. East of Pozieres und north of Bazentin, where is situated the now famous "Hlghwood," the elevation i.s 155 metres, fully 60 feet lower than north of Poziere.s, but It recedes again farther west to 154 metres just north of Combles. Describes Country. As usual, Hilare Bellor supplies the best description of the actual appearance of the country. He says: "When I .say ridges I do not. of course, mean anything sharp and steep. It is only a succession of swells of land and the actual summits are so rounded and slight they can with difficulty he described. But from below and as one comes up from Albert and from the Somme the whole of these flattish lumps in series form a skyline. The highest point of all the countryside Is, I thllnk, just beyond Pozieres on the Albert-Bapaume road (Hill 160). At any rate, walking along the road in the old days of peace one saw all the countryside to the north and east from that hilltop. But the ridge as you go eastward Is only a few feet less high. The wood of Foreaux which the British have christened Highwood, for instance, is only 15 or 16 feet lower than the point upon the highroad." Up this ridge the British have now climbed. Only at one point have they heen checked and that is at the western end, near Thiepval, where the Liep- slc redoubt holds out, but the advance to the east has brought the British far in the rear of this redoubt and Its fall would seem to be Impending if, as yesterday's despatches suggested, It has not already begun to be evacuated. Are Clear of Obstacles. Without exaggerating the importance of the Albert ridge as a military obstacle, and bearing in mind the real difficulty has been the villages along the front and at the edge of the ridge, It is important to note that the British have tlowed over the only natural barrier and are fairly on the downhill slope toward Bapaume. They have be-, fore them, no such cluster of little villages as faced them at the outset. Courcelette, Martlnpuich and Flers, which ure in their front, are widely separated, and to the north as far as Bapaume there are only two or three small and scattered settlements. So far as one can judge by the map, and reckon from the character of the country, the British have passed the worst of their obstacles and there Is good reason to believe that their advance toward Bapaume will materially increase its pace. All this Is a long way from the fatal checks following promptly upon the opening success at Neuve Chappelle and Loos and demonstrates the progress the British army has made in the last 10 months. And It is worth recalling now that the failure of the French to get over the Vimy ridge north of Arras in June, 1915 finally terminated their advance toward Lens. This Vimy ridge was much lower than that of Albert, Its highest bill being about 130 metres. W ARE (Continued from Page One.) stores.

PARIS GREEKS AND KING CONSTANTINE PARIS.—The Greeks In Paris have formed a new "legion sacree'* to unite all Greeks who are opposed to the present attitude of King Constantlne with the remainder of the Hellenic legion of 1914, fighting under the French flag. A cbngress representing the 34 colonies of Greeks who are .scattered over the face of the globe, met in Paris in January last and decided unanimously: 1, That the constitutional liberties of Greece must be respected; 2, that in the interests of the country neutrality should be abandoned and Greece should range herself on the side of the allies; 3, that the congress would dissolve only when Its task was finished. At that time an address was sent to King Constantlne, and also an appeal to the citizens of Greece to condemn the policy which was being followed with regard to Serbia, to demand the strict application of the constitution, and the recall to power—instead of the councillors then In office, who had been denounced by the great majority of the Greek people—of the Liberal party, whose program, it had been adequately proven, bad contributed to tho aggrandizement of Greece and had given her the rank to which sho was entitled nmongst European nations. On the first of June the permanent committee of the congress of Hellenic colonies sent a telegram to King Constantlne expressing tho Indignation of alt patriotic Greeks at the invasion of FOR RENT.

The Perfect Corn Flakes NEW POST TOASTIES are not only inexpensive but they have a new delictousness, produeed by a new process of cookery—the first to produce corn flakes with the self-developod true corn flavor. So fine is this flavor that NEW POST TOASTIES are wonderfully good eaten dry. Try some that way—you'll appreciate the point, though they're even better when served with cream or good milk. These NEW POST TOASTIES don't mush down in milk or eream, and they are not "chaffy" in the package, like common flakes. They're new in form, new in flavor, and new in appearance. Note the tiny "bubbles" on each flake—an identifying feature. Put up in wax-sealed packages, NEW POST TOASTIES retain their oven-crispness and flavor until served at your table.

PRICES OF NEW YORK STOCKS ARE HIGHER Shipping Shares Are Active Features of Session—United States Steel Rises to 87. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—The stock market gave cVery indication today of a disposition to shake off Its recent dulness and rise to higher levels. Settlement of the local labor troubles, easier money and other favorable signs contributed to the sudden accession of bullish sentiment. Prices were at their best In the final hour, but reacted here and there on publication of the government crop report. Shipping shares were the aetive fca tures, Mercantile Marine preferred recording an extreme gain of 5% on large dealings, with 1% for the common and 2 for United Fruit. There were the usual reports of an approaching reorganization of the Mercantile Marine company on terms satisfactory to tho contending interests. Pacific Mail whose fortunes are Interwoven with Marine, also made a gain of 1& points. There were moments of strength in Reading, Union Pacific and a few other important rails, together with minor shares like Denver & Rio Grande common and preferred and Lake Erie .& Western, but granger were slightly affected by crop condl tlons. United States Steel rose to 87 and closed only a fraction under that figure, the stock showing signs of steady accumulation In the morning, when it led all others. There were additional gains in the paper stocks on highly prosperous trade conditions and petroleums were better, despite further price reductions. Miscellaneous stocks, Including some coming within tho category of war issues, were 1 to 2 highei but munitions and motors were relatively backward. Gas stocks supplemented recent advances, part of which was later surrendered. Total sales amounted to 225,000 shares.

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE OTTAWA. - j L FTS WHEAT PRICES Bearish Misgivings Over Government Crop Report Rules Market for Most of Session. CHICAGO, III., Aug. S—Although the government crop report turned out to ho more bullish as to wheat than oven the radicals had expected, bearish mis givings concerning what would be shown ruled the market most of tho. time today and were only overcome late In the session by word of liberal ■Eluropean buying and advices that black rust in Canada was becoming worse., The market closed firm,,% to %c net' higher, with September , at, $1.35% and December at $1.37. 'Oats lost Vt to % and provisions were 6 to 13Vjc higher. As the government crop report_is bused upon conditions no later, for the most part, than .July 28 and much of the damage to spring wheat had not developed until after that date, the trado as a rule was disposed at first today to be extremely cautious about accepting estimates that lhe total yield to bo predicted by Washington would be as low as 675,000,000 bushels, few if any traders were prepared for, the total announced after the close—054 000,000 bushels, The fact that Liverpool quotations were lower nnd that cable advices said buyers seemed to be holding off until after the issuance of the Washington report was a further discouragement to the bulls. Later, however, it be camo apparent that Europeans were buying on a big scale, especially at Winnipeg. Total purchases of wheat by Europe as finally given out, aggregated 2,000,- 000 bushels, mostly Manitoba. Besides, despatches from a leading expert said that more than ,r>0 per cent of the crop in Saskatchewan was likely to be badly Injured by black rust.

The new coalfields are of great extent, and so far, the quality of the coal promises to be better than was at finiBt anticipated.

THE WEAKNESS OF LIBERAL LEADER BREWSTER The control the notorious Vancouver i»\-r , clique have of the provincial Liberal machine is in itself sufficient reason ■w^iy the affairs of British Columbia should not be entrusted to the Liberal party. Against H. C. Brewster's personal Integrity no attack Is made. But the Liberal leader showed during the plugging Inquiry that he did hot dare disown the Vancouver Liberal machine. He had his opportunity. ' Two roads lay open—one beckoned to the weak man, the other to the strong man. Mr. Brewster chose the easy road. He assisted in the defense of the Liberal plugging. lie is still assisting in it. A stronger man would have fought the pluggers and gone after the higher-ups instead of threatening witnesses on the stand and trying to intimidate other witnesses into refusing to lay bare what they knew. "Possibly he would not be the Liberal leader today if he had taken the ■other course. But he would not have be>n In as weak a position before tbe ■electorate. DEWDNEY THE LAST Home rule by compulsion does not seem to come within the bounds of practical policy. N- "Lemon prices are soaring," says a headline in an eastern paper. Who wants to be handed a lemon, anyway? The Brewster writ means more to the people of this province than a mere dispute between lawyers. It is a menace to the prosperity of British Columbia. ' The Gorizia bridgehead on the Isonzo front, whose loss lo the Italians the Austrians admit, bas been the object of fierce fighting for months,] The victory opens the way to the storming of Gorizia. Italy's splendid victory on the Isonzo front is a matter for congratulation in the entente countries. The Italian troops were punished severely in the recent offensive Of the Austrians, which collapsed when the Russians, strengthened by tbe receipt of 1,000,- 000 new rifles from Italy, began their drive in the east. Italy now Is bitting back. Hon. Edgar Dewdney's death marks the passing of another of the few surviving members of the hardy band of pioneers who during the three decades around 1860 carried out the preliminary exploration work in the Interior of. British Columbia, which proved tho forerunner of the coming of the railroads and a new generation of pioneers.,., The history of the early days of tho interior of- British Columbia is inseparable" from the history of Edgar Dewdney. The Dewdney trail from the coast through the southern interior to Fort Steele and beyond will stand as a monument to Dewdney long after the work of many of his contemporaries bas passed from memory. As a trail little of it survives today but long stretches of it have become part of tho transprovincial trunk road and Its part in the early development of British Columbia is not likely to be forgotten. It stood to Kootenay in very much the same relation as the Cariboo road stood to the placer and cattle country of the north. There are pioneers in Kootenay and Boundary today who can realize the .hardships and difficulties under which Dewdney built the trail which bears his name. Those of a later generation can easily imagine them. 1 WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING, 1 More Publicity Needed. Hitherto the case of the allies has been badly stated to neutrals in general and to the United States in particular, The allies need a first-rate publicity bureau. The Germans are hundreds of miles ahead of them in publicity. Publicity exports here and In America could have managed the business far more efficiently than our old-fashioned officials. There has been no publicity organization worth the name. Truth Is mighty, but will not prevail without a publisher.—London Star. "Kitchener's Own." None was more appreciative than Loi-i Kitchener of the part Canada is playing in the war and we note with sympathy that suggestion made in tho Canadian press that one of the best battalions which Canada is now raising should bear the name of "Kitchener's Own." That would be Canada's best answer to an enemy who hoped the loss of the maker of new armies would paralyze the Empire's fighting arm.—Canadian Gazette.

I War has revealed to the British people many strange things. The charcoal burners have revived their industry aftenigenerations of gradual decay; the British woman has definitely stepped out of ber sheltered environment and cast away for all time the badges of an archaic age; the "nation of shopkeepers" has not, as many suspected, weakened In its faith or power since the days when it humbled the first Napoleon; the freedom on which tbe Empire has been built up has proved to be not its undoing, but its strength In this time of testing. And above all, this war has shown the people in the homeland that they cannot know England well "who only England know." The soldiers of Great Britain have revealed the Empire in all Its glory and strength of unity on the battlefield. But it is not only for its brave soldiers that the dominions beyond the seas ore known to tho British people. In the heart of Windsor Forest, where the huntsman's horn was wont to proclaim the sport of kings, there Is heard today the ring of the axe. Over 150 men of the 224th Canadian Forestry battalion are at work converting into railway ties giant trees that have lived for centur ies, silent witnesses of the rise of empire on the ever-broadening foundations of democracy. These Canadian lumbermen aro taking from the great park three million board feet of timber, Men, machinery and organization —all are Canadaian. Clak in khaki and ovei alls—-for these men are also soldiery—the bronzed lumbermen from the Doirinion are turning out about 20,000 board feet a day. War has brought these woodsmen to welld their ancient craft in the English Royal borough. They are playing their part in the greatest war drama ever staged. The day will come when the victory for v/hli'h they are preparing will be" won, when "The woodsman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done." —Toronto Globe. CANADA, AN IMPERIAL PIONEER ♦ ■>•»■>• •■>■>■>■> **' Canada may refloct today that the example which she set In 1867 is now the inspiration of a great Imperial tendency. Nothing has been more remarkable in British history than the rapid advance, in the midst of war, of the belief that the form of the imperial commonwealth must be altered. Sir Robert Borden, as prime minister of Canada, was the first among Dominion statesmen to say plainly- that his people could not continue to havo no responsibility for the greater issues of imperial policy and to escape from bearing their share in tho obligations of imperial defense. That was before the war, and at that time it seemed that years must pass before tbe realization of true union and strength. But war has bared to alt of us the face of enemy nations, has showed us that peril has long stalked our unheeding steps, and has spurred us to the resolve that in the future we will provide for our own security. The warning of Sir Robert Borden in 1912, which then seemed a prophecy of remote events, is now the commonplace of our statesmen. —Tbe Times, London. F.OYAL INSPECTION *'* OF CANADIAN TROOPS BRAMSHOTT, England.—The King inspected tho fourth division of Canadian troops at Hankley Common, Bramshott, on Dominion day, an honor highly appreciated by the comrades of those who have maintained the honor of Canada so well in the trenches. of Flanders. The inspection was marked by great enthusiasm, and on his arrival his majesty was accorded a fine reception. Field-Marshal Viscount French, commander-in-chief of home forces, and General Sir Archibald Hunter, commander-in-chief Aldershot command, were in attendance on the King. Among others present were Sir George H. Perley, acting high commissioner for Canada; Sir George Foster, Dominion minister for trade and commerce; Major-General Carson, representing the minister of militia; and Pelletior, agent-general for Mil Hdn. L. P Quebec. ' The division, under the command df Major-Gen. D. Watson, was first inspected in lines. On tbe return of the King to the saluting base the whole division, infantry and artillery, marched past in review order. The King was obviously pleased with the display of the troops and conveyed his congratulations to Major-Gen. Watson. His majesty afterwards dismounted and walked to the front of the review ground, where Major-Gen. Watson presented his brigade and battalion commanders, the members of his staff and the official representatives of the Dominion. There was another enthusiastic demonstration from, the troops when their majesties drovo away. . , The Victoria Red Cross has a membership of 1347 and has so far collected $31,436. MAKING GERMANY PAY ATROCITIES. FOR Sir Henry Dalzlel's proposal that Great Britain should seize German money held in the United Kingdom as a reprisal for such atrocities as the gold-blooded murder of Capt. Fryatt will be received with pretty general approval. Reprisals as such are often open to serious objections, but in this case tho only point to be considered Is, that of expediency. No question of humanity .is involved in the seizure of German property, .The question that would have to be ttirashed out before Great Britain took the proposed action would be whether .Germany could seize more British property than the British could find ln the United Kingdom. Probably it could not. In addition to money Great Britain might confiscate Qjjrman ships ■which lie in British ports but which v/exe not captured as prizes. They are certainly more numerous than the British ships lying under similar condK lions in German ports. The great advantage of the Dalziel proposal la that it would hit the pockets of Germany's financial magnates. They would not, care to pay a few million'dollars for every atrocity their country commits. I RED CROSS NOTES.

Even before the Deutschland bad accomplished its feat underseas, Lieutenant Mar- chal had given Germany his remarkable witness of French commander- ship of the air. The news, however, followed more slowly. America has today its first opportunity to imagine the impression made on Berlin in the night of June 20-21 when Lieutenant Marchal dropped a proclamation in the streets of the imperial capital from the Nieuport monoplane in which he had sailed all the way from Nancy in France, and in which he continued almost to the Russian lines In Poland. Certainly he could have hurled bombs Into the city if he had wished. His proclamation need scarcely have called attention to tills patent fact. All Prussia has been given to see that the might to do deeds of frightfulness Is- not always used, hy governments, other than German, as an equivalent p.f,,the right to k>Ii;ftefeiiseleqifi wppieft and children. None the less, Lieutcn' ant Marchal's flight should be a warn Ing to Berlin and Potsdam that they are not beyond the reach of French aviation, and that their own planes | and zeppelins havo a worthy match in \ the ships and pilots of France. Apparently Lieutenant Marchal cannot claim tlie longest distance flight mado.in an aeroplane, but only the greatest ever made under any and all conditions which chanced to present themselves. In July, 1914, a fortnight before the outbreak of hostilities, a German airman, Reinhold Boehm, completed a flight of many hours, during which ho estimated that he traveled 1350 miles without stopping. This distance, however, was not made in a straight, measurable line, and was accomplished by often running the machine at the levels and in the directions easiest for navigation and the saving of fuel. Lieutenant Marchal, on the other hand, had a definite objective in view—distant by fully 565 miles over the shortest possible straight-line course—from the point where he ascended. By the route which he hit upon, the distance became 807 miles, When it is considered that this mileage was covered mostly during hours of darkness, over territory which the French lieutenant could not have known very well, the skill, courage and control of the pilot stand out as far more worthy of praise even than the endurance and quality of the engine which he drove, Captive or no captive, Lieutenant Marchal is one of this war's heroes and his feat a victory for the French—Boston Transcript.

Bread Lines Lengthening" in Suffering Belgium Hungry Women are Grateful for Scanty Fare Provided by Belgian Relief Fund So long as their heroic husbands and fathers are fighting with the Allies, Germany will not raise a finger to Bave from starvation those Belgian women and children in the territory she has overrun. She permits the Belgian Relief Commission to feed them, but her heartless attitude is indicated by the recent torpedoing of two relief ships. Their cargoes were fully insured, of course, as are all shipments made by the Commission, so no contributions were lost. But much anxiety is felt lest even the delay in getting food over may cost precious lives. For all Belgium is dangerously short of food. Nearly three millions are penniless as well—and the number of these is growing fast as accumulated savings are exhausted. This means continually growing demands on the Belgian Relief Fund. To meet them more Canadians must contribute, and those who have been giving must be even more liberal. The only alternative is to let our devoted Allies perish! This is a plain statement of perhaps the most appealing cause in history—a cause that has stirred the hearts and opened the purses of thousands. Has it opened yours? Have you in your security done your share for those sufferers who, but for an accident of geography, might have included your own wife and children, or yourself?

I THE DEATH OF A MONSTROUS .I LIE •V ■♦-»-»♦ ♦♦•♦♦♦♦•>♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ■»-♦. It is for the further and complete liberation of the German mind that we must wait. Some months more of the prcaent agony and it is fair to assume that the "super" madness will vanish. Tlie measure of this war is not alone or mainly on the battlefield. It bas been fought for spiritual values chiefly. It has been fought to preserve our civilization and our humanity. It haa been fought to save all that we in America love^and cherish —all that democracies have cherished from the beginning. It has been fought against a lie as complete as the Spanish inquisition, as mortal as the ancient regime that the French Revolution destroyed. And the lie Is dying. Millions and millions of German men and women are approaching the light. The military force that was to make them masters of the world, for the sacrifice of their individual will, now comes on its knees to ask for a nieaS' ure of confidence. It has not paid; it cannot now or ever pay. A million Germans have died; thousands are dy ing dally, east and west. Millions more are hungry. Paris, Calais, Moscow, Suez, Verdun, these are the fictions of yesterday—false and proven false. The facts are written otherwise.—New York Tribune. Deep grief and indignation pervade the report from Cranbrook to the Llb- nral organ. A recent issue was glorious with the story that Mr. Watts and Mr. Caven were both in the field as government candidates in that riding, Wheiefore the Liberal nominee would he returned. Anger and tears come from the tact that Mr. Watts has announced his withdrawal. All the way from Cranbrook is wired to the Sun the startling news that the statement of Mr. Watts "should forever condemn him" and also "that when a man stoops Ip this lie should be locked up for safe keeping," with the further special wired intelligence that "there is only one place for men of his calibre, and that place is in jail." This does not read, like news, but has flavor of a "Sun" leader. Yet it is found in a despatch to the Sun from Cranbrook under the -oiurlousi head, "Split fn the Conservative Ranks." It is clear that the Liberals of Cranbrook have left hope and joy and comfort far behind, and are wholly given over to cursing and bitterness.—Vancouver News-Advertiser.

HORWOOD ADMITS ALL KINDS Of OFFENSES Says He Is Guilty of Eight Crimes- Is Questioned About Absence of William Salt (By Daily News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, Aug. 8.—The suggestion that it was V. W. Horwood who was principally benefited by the ab- scence of William Salt from tbe jurisdiction of Manitoba courts was made to Horwood this afternoon by defense counsel, continuing cross-examination in the ex-ministers' trial. Horwood admitted lo A. J. Andrews that he was guilty of eight crimes—perjury, subornation of perjury, false pretenses, theft, forgery, uttering of forged documents, falsifying public documents and conspiracy to defraud—as he had admitted In the preliminary hearings. "I want to sec really whose interests were being most served by sending and keeping Salt away," said Mr. Andrews. "If Salt came back and told the truth what would be tlie effect?" "It would give the whole thing away." "And you would have gone to jail?" "1 suppose so," said the witness, who agreed that he had been greatly interested In keeping Salt away and that he had spent the first money spent for that purpose. Horwood said that at thai time he and his wife had about $3500 in the bank and he owned some property. Horwood said the ministers were always kind to him. He said that when he was before the public accounts committee he wished to make a statement but he was dissuaded. Much of'the afternoon session was taken up with the reading of documents and the cross-examination was not concluded. Horwood swore that Contractor Kelly on one occasion offered him an electric motor car, which lie refused. BUILDS 1 SHIPS AS RESULT Of NEW James Carruthers, head of the $30,- 000,000 corporation known as the Canada Steamship Lines Limited, leading grain exporter and financier, with offices at Montreal, Winnipeg and New York, reached Vancouver last week from Prince Rupert. He is spending two weeks on the coast, during which time he will discuss with colleagues business In connection with investments made in the shipbuilding Industry under lhe shipping act passed at the last session of the legislature. "What the west needs more than anything else at the present time," suld Mr. Carruthers, "Is people for the vast stretches of open farm country at present untenanted and uncultivated. What British Columbia In particular needs is tonnage. The form of aid to ship-building brought down by the government recently," continued Mr. Carruthers, "we consider in the east to be very intelligent legislation. Our people have invested in the industry here about $1,- 500,000 on the strength of that legislation." Mr. Curruthers and his associates, among whom are .1. W. Norcross, Montreal, M. J. Haney, of Toronto, and Sir Trevor Dawson of'tfie Vickers Yards of London, have entered into contracts with the Wallace yards hi North Vancouver and at present have large crews of men at work on vessels now upon the ways. R. M. Wolvln, a Great Lakes transportation man, and H. W. Brown, formerly of the United States'Steel Corporation, with headquarters at Dulutb, are associated with Mr. Carruthers and have charge of the actual construction of the vessels. Discussing the question of financing the work he und his associates have undertaken, Mr. Carruthers said: Safe Now to Invest "Tlie legislation brought down by the government has made it safe for us to undertake this Industry at thi present time. So far as that legislation goes, though it provides for the borrowing oi money from the government, It will not be necessary In our case to ask one cent from them or to accept any guarantee at present, such as are provided for in the" shipping bill. We will be able to finance our work without any assistance from any quarter save the assistance promised by the government when the vessels are completed—a bonus up to 15 per cent of the cost, or what amounts to a guarantee that our earnings will be 15 per cent per annum on our investment. "When the ships ure built," con tinued Mr. Carruthers, " we will find little difficulty in raising all the money necessary to successfully carry along. On a recent vessel built at Duluth ut a cost of $600,900, it was an easy matter to bond her at 75 per cent of her value, the bond.i being so attractive as to bring 97 when offered for sale. "What this coast needs," continued Mr. Carruthers, "is a merchant marine and the 10 boats which we hope to have completed within the next few months will, I trust, only be a sta-'t upon what we intend to do. And so long as the government lends their endorsement in the way of Q bonus when the boats are completed, It will be an easy matter for us to find funds from private sources to carry on this industry forward." Will Change After War Discussing trade conditions, Mr. Carruthers stated that tbe end of the war is likely to see a great change In the trade routes of the world. Companies which he and his associates control own Hues of vessels plying on the Atlantic from New York and Montreal to Bermuda and the West Indies and he Is looking for a development of South A merlcan trade which will make the north and south coa.st shipping a more important factor than ever before.

The Liberal authorities at Victoria, have beeir notified "of the date when balk ting will commence and they will act accordingly. Jcfdiua N. Nolland, a merchant of' London, will be the Conservative scrutineer. The Liberals have notified the provincial secretary of their choice. The changed conditions necessitating earlier voting will make it impossible for the returning officer to give both parties seven days' notice of the dat- of balloting. This notice is only to be given when practicable. The agent-general also reported having received a copy of the ordcr-in-council regulating the taking of the vote and providing for lhe appointment of scrutineers at voting places ns well as at places where tbe votes are to be counted. Your Store Advertising "Every good store, even though it be a small one, should be advertised." Small beginnings, wisely made and persistently followed up, will mean assured growth and larger opportunities for the little merchant—just in the degree that his store merits and earns wider patronage and approval, A small advertising space costs a small amount of money. Yet it affords a chance to the small merchant to tell why he seeks a wider patronage—what he has to offer that is unusual. And whether he is located on the beaten pathway of trade or upon an unfrequented by-way, his ad. will lead people to seek him out. And, in due time, he will be able to decide the matter of store location according to his liking rather than according to his 1 necessities.

C—In a report to department of commerce from Berne, Switzerland, United States Consul Schulz says that Swiss manufacturers of automobiles exported during 1915 cars vaued at $5,700,000, exceeding value of exports'of preceding year by 100 per cent and making a greater proportional gain than United States. Exports were chiefly to France. About 750 ears and trucks are imported annually. Small 10 to 20-horse- power five-passenger cars are In greatest demand. Swiss automobile dealers declare absence of supply stations for American cars Is principal drawback to sale of such automobiles. Repairs under the circumstances are expensive. At least two high-class cars are manufactured in the country, and In normal times these cars sell, even in France, In competition with famous French machines. Price of these Swiss cars usually is from 1J1GG0 to $2190, but 15 per cent Increase has been exacted by manufacturers since tbe war. The Swiss tariff on chassis is $4.82 per 220 pounds, ahd on completed cars $7.72 per 220 pounds. RESEARCH WORK IN SILK INDUSTRY LONDON, England—The advisory council dealing with research ln connection with natural science and industries, has favorably considered an application for a grant In connection with the silk Industry, made by the Silk association of Great Britain and Ireland. The grant now made will cover half the period of a two years' course of research at the Imperial College of Science, at a cost not exceeding £400. The research will be entered upon Oct. 1, and is to take the form of Investigations Into certain variations of a chemical and physical nature observed In natural silks, and the effect of these on the processes of degum- ming, dyeing nnd finishing, as judged by their Influence on the results obtained In the finished materials. It is anticipated that the investigation will influence in one way or another all branches of the silk Industry, and that it may lead to the production in Great Britain of various classes of goods which are at present imported. Research work on the silk Industry has for a long time been carried forward In France, Germany, Italynnd Japan, but In Grcnt Britain Utile or nothing m m^um'ia t&at fluseiioi*. , ITALY AND GERMANY ROME, Italy—The Stampa has published an account of an interview granted its Paris correspondent by Count Sablhl, commercial adviser to the Italian embassy in Paris, in the course of which the latter said that the results of the economic conference between the allies were of such importance as to throw into the shade all other recent events, even the Russian offensive and the ministerial crisis In Italy. Everything had not been completed, Count Sabini is reported to have said, but the way had been prepared for a hundred years' economic alliance. For Italy, he continued, the most important result was that from now onwards all economic connection with Germany would cense. He would, he said, be betraying no diplomatic secret in stating that the Salandra cabinet had already decided to disavow the commercial treaty with Germany. After the Paris conference that treaty had ceased to exist. Italy was free from all obligations towards the central powers, and could enter Into no others with them. There is nothing for her now, said Count Sabini, but to link up her economic policy with thnt of her allies. The fact is irrevocable.

ROSE "I am very pleased at the number of enthusiastic workers who are rallying to my support. That Is about half the battle. I've got the workers. I've got tho friends and I am going to bo elected," said Dr. W. 0. Rose amid the cheers of a meeting of committees and other supporters which gave the candidate an enthusiastic reception in the Conservative committee rooms last night. "I notice that tlie Vancouver World admits that Mr. A. M. .Tohnson bas .made a number of serious breaks," continued Dr. Rose. "The Liberal candidate said that us a lawyer he should bo sent to tbe legislature to make the laws and the World remarks that It can bo imagined bow such a statement appeals to the working men of Nelson. The World also remarks, 1 notice, that 'No doubt, Rose is a very strong man,' " Dr. Rose went on that be bad seen a very large number of voters and that he was delighted with the offers of support which be had received. "I am, In fact, receiving support in places Where I did not expect it. Men who have been of tho opposition parties arc promising me their support. "1 will be elected, .said tlie Conservative candidate, "Mr. Johnson knows It, Mr, Bloomer knows It and I- know it. If you will look at the ballot paper you will see that Bloomer comes first, Johnson second and Ro.se third. That Is the alphabetical order but when the votes are counted il will lie found that tho result will fulfil the scriptural prediction: 'The 'first shall be lust and the last shall be first.'*' Good progress was made with organization work as the supporters of Dr. Rose are expressing the determin- itlon, while they consider his victory issured, to get out every possible vote in liis favor, (tne member of the committee last night pointed out that it was necessary to get out tho vote and that Ibis could not be accomplished unless the supporters of Dr. Roso built up a first class organization of active workers for tlie campaign. "Wo have nothing lo fear if we do our share of the work," he remarked. HELD YESTERDAY Service Held at Home in Presence of Friends and Members of the Family—Many Flowers Received.

TRAIL EAST—THE PLACE McQuarrie <& Robertson REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE NELSON AND TRAIL, B.C. HOSPITAL PLAMS HUD Shape of New Building Subject of Difference of Opinion Among . Members of Board Considerable discussion regarding the advisability of finally adopting tho present plans for the new Kootenay Lake General hospital in their present form, took place at the meeting of- the directors last night, the matter being brought up by the build Ing committee which reported in favor of the present plans but suggested that any changes should be made immediately before the excavation work was carried any further. The plans as first outlined called for a rectangular building, but were later developed into a structure composed of a central block, facing in a westerly direction and two wings set back from It at angles. William Haldane, tho architect, it was said, declared that n building constructed in this form would receive more daylight in the rooms than one built on the rectangular plan, or with a right angle wing. John Toye maintained that the cost of tho building as laid out by the architect would be greater than first planned and that owing to the number of angles iu (he wails the rooms would be of an awkward shape and also that there would be less opportunity of securing good ventilation than in a rectangular building. George Johnstone held that the plans as they now stood had many advantages over those originally considered, as, he stated, more bed space was obtainable and the building would have one less floor. As the plans have been sent to the provincial architect at Victoria for his report, it was decided to await their return, which it is expected will bs within several days, when a special meeting will be called and the matter finally adjusted and settled. Mr. Toye reported that he would be ready to begin construction work in a few days. JULY HOSPITAL COLLECTIONS WERE LARGEST ON RECORD Collections totaling about $3-100 of accounts duo the Kootenay Lake General hospital were made during the mouth of July, according to the treasurer's statement at tbe directors' meeting last night. This, it was said, is the largest amount collected in one month during the history of the institution. HOSPITAL TO INSURE ITS WORKMEN ON NEW BUILDING Board Takes Precautionary Action Pending the Enforcement of Compensation Act, Jan. 1, 1917. Accident Insurance will be taken out covering the payroll for the excavation and construction work on the new hospital building, as tbe result of action taken at the meeting of the hospital board last night. This course is necessary as the new Workmen's Compensation act does not become effective until Jan, I, 1917, when' liability for accidents occurring to workmen will lie taken care of under the provisions op thy act and procedure similar to that decided upon by the board will become unnecessary. 16 SOLDIERS REACH CITY ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE Members of C Company, 225th Battalion Arrive from Camp at Vernon —More Are Expected Sixteen members of C company of the li-T»th battalion arrived in tho city last night on leave of absence from the camp at Vernon.

He declared every precaution Is still being taken, however, and there will be no relaxation of vigilance on tho part of the guards. Tho district, he said, has been remarkably fortunate this season in tho matter of fires, only 63 having been reported to date. The damage from these, he said, was practically negligible. FRENCH TRAVELER VIEWS ARAB RISING PARIS.—in a letter to Lo Journal, M. CJervuis Courtel lemon t reviews some of the results consequent on the Insurrection of the tribes in western and central Arabia. M. Couytellemont has spent 20 years in Miihummudan countries and is ono of the very few Kuropeans who lias succeeded in penetrating within Mecca and El-Mcdinah, tho "holy cities" of Islam, in his opinion this revolt throws light upon tho question of tlie possession of "holy places"; for it is by a subtle derogation from Islamic institutions that the sultan of Constantinople has appropriated religious power. Should tlie movement develop and tho Shcrif of Mecca be able to proclaim himself Caliph, tbe defection would bo a very serious matter for the Ottoman government. This religious question, therefore, is a highly important one. For the moment, however, the writer considers the importance of the insurrection may easily be exaggerated. Hb,points out that at the beginning of the war the Arabs mado common causo with the Turks, fearing that the allies designed conquest. Alliance with tihe Ottoman empire was prompted by their conservatism. It is from Arabia that Turkey obtains her best contingents, and should thuso bu withdrawn, it would be a igreat blow to the Ottoman empire. "But It is not easy to say," continues M, Coui'telleinon ,"1£ this day is near at hand. The idea of patriotism is nonexistent in Arabia; it is replaced by a sentiment which can only be cum pared to feudalism; thus, the natives of central Arabia and of the 'holy [.luces' aro not united by ties of kindred and uf sympathy with tho other Muhammadans uf tho peninsula, although thoy take a lively interest in all that concerns thuso uf Bagdad and Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With OFFICES IN THE ALAN BLOCK, corner of Ward and Baker streets.

It is In ibe province of Hejaz that the desire for freedom Is particularly manifested, for the Arabs there have suffered more than \he others from tho Turkish power, which in one way or another, carries off the greater part of the profits derived from pilgrimages." M". Courtellemont's conclusions are that although the present movement may have arisen from a purely local desire for deliverance, it may easily asstimo greater proportions since the whole Arabian population has submitted only under constraint to the Ottoman yoke, which has weighed heavily upon it for four centuries. He feels assured that the rising contains no threat to Prance, a country regarded by the Arabs as their friend.
