FEB MONTH WILSON MAKING ALL EFFORTS TO HALT GREAT RAIL STRIKE New Laws to Meet Crisis Are Urged MEN ARE QUIT WOR ORDERED I I Country-Wide Preparations Being Made For Tie-Up (By Daily News Leased Wire.) "WASHINGTON, Aug. 2D.—President Wilson laid the railway strike situation before congress today, with recommendations for legislation and advanced the crisis to a stage, where the next developments depend on two points. These are: whether the legislation he proposes can be passed; if enacted will It be effective to prevent a strike already called for September 4, at 7 a. m.? Neither of the questions can be an swered tonight. The brotherhood heads themselves announcing their Intention to fight certain portions of the president's*, {program, -arc at loggerheads over whether its enactment would prevent the strike. The railway presidents, favorable to President Wilson's plan in the main, think it would make it difficult for the strike to begin. Meanwhile, although negotiation between the employers and the men wero broken off today by. the rejection of the railway presidents' proposal for arbitration. President Wilson Is continuing his efforts to bring the two sides together on some form of agreement. Efforts which might well be described as almost superhuman are being exerted to that end tonight. Conference is Held. President Wilson had an important conference tonight in Speaker Clark's room at the capltol. Resid'-s the pre- WkSWotI. "h*! tbS speaker. Jibe vn^i.^''**.■ included Republican Lender-'Mann, Democratic Leader Kitchin, Representative Stirling of Illlonols, the ranking Republican of the house interstate commerce, commission, and Representative Adamson, chairman. No definite conclusions were reached. When the brotherhood leaders today rejected the latest proposals of the railroads and definitely set tho strike for Labor Day, without further notice, President Wilson decided to lay the whole situation beforo a joint, session of the house and senate with a solemn recital of tho great distress a strike would bring to the country and propose a plan of legislation. Immediately after the president had delivered his recommendations congress set about to see how they might lie enacted into law. The senate interstate commerce commission, which lias before it bills prepared to carry out the plan, did not get a quorum and will meet tomorrow. The house leaders announced their intention of waiting on the senate's notion. President Hopeful. President Wilson confided to advisers tonight his earnest hope that the ' brotherhoods, recognizing the fairness with which he had treated them, would yield to his request, that, pending action by congress, they rescind their strike order. The president intends to use all bis influence to hasten action in congress, but should thero lie dolay, he Intends to appeal to the patriotism of the leaders ana their duty to the public not to persist in calling the strike nt this time. ' Meanwhile the railway heads prepared themselves for a strike. Many of tho railway presidents have loft for their headquarters. Chicago Preparing.

BY RUMANIA'S MOVE Political and Strategic Significance of . Country's Entrance In War Dwelt on in Petrograd. PETROGRAD^ Aug. 30.—Rumania's entrance in the war Is generally interpreted as an omen of final victory for the allies by Russian official circles and the press, which emphasizes Its political and strategic significance. Tho fact that Rumania entered the war at so late a date and only after careful and mature consideration, in which sentiment played no part, Is, according to the Petrograd newspapers, "a satisfactory indication of the growing belief among neutral nations that Germany is beaten and more particularly that Germany's influence in the Balkans is waning." The two most immediate effects of Rumania's action will, it is felt, be a union of tho eastern and Macedonian fronts and a pronounced improvement in Gen. San-all's position, due to the Bulgarian necessity of transferring a large number of troops from the Saloniki theatre to meet an attack ou the northern boundary: Will Affect Greece. Among the more indirect results, according to press opinion, will be its effect on Greece, where, it is thought, the atmosphere of doubt will be cleared by Rumania's decision. The Reich says that the most significant point of Rumania's action is that it was not Fiiispesco or Jonescu that brought Rumania into the camp of the allies, but Bratiano, who had heretofore persistently refused to be swayed by the inducements of cither side. "In other words," says the paper, "Rumania cannot be said, as the enemy will maintain, to have been dazzled by fantastic promises of allied diplo mats into embarking on the adventure. Rumania's union with the allies is an act of real policy dictated by sound reasoning. "The decision of Rumania to realize its national ideals by siding witli the entente is a well-considered vote for allied victory. The charm of German power has fled and it can find no further allies. Perhaps fthe action 'of Rumania will return to Greece parts of i,t:-.-(oir-pos.:r.::>'lo:. ■■■.iu eommflri iiensc." A Studied Move. The Ndvo Vrcinya says: "The decision is the more important because we have not to do with the passing mood of a people but with the studied calcuatlon of politicians. It Is the best evidence that the enemy has lost its strength." According to Col. Shumsky, the military critic of tiie Bourse Gazette, a great allied stroke from the north along the Danube will force Bulgaria to abandon its plan of passively defending this front and conducting tho principal operations against the French and British in Macedonia, "Bulgaria," he says, "will be compelled to abandon active operations in Macedonia and will have to face tbe serious danger of an allied advance into its territory from the north. Rumania, on the other hand, will have only one important front to defend, since its strong natural boundary prevents serious danger from the side of Austria."

Viller-i oy told Mr. Andrews that bo had been paid $100 a month since the first of. lust May by lhe government, and'he added that it was because he. lost his position with the government and wanted to leave town.

Hi ATTACK NEAR POZIERES HALTED Effort to Advance Is Put Down by British Fire STRIKE HIT CANA .S. WOULD IAN ROADS DI Many Industries in Ontario and Quebec Depend Largely on American Roads for Fuel. OTTAWA, Aug. 29.—In official circles it is feared that a great railroad strike In the United States, if inaugurated next Monday and prolonged, will have a serious effect in Canada. It is pointed out that the industries of Ontario and Quebec depend in a grout measure on fuel from the United States and that a stoppage of this supply would mean distress industrially and otherwise. A prolonged strike would also mean a shortage of hard coal in practically all parts of the country. A strike of such proportions as to seriously tie up the railways of the United States would seriously uffect the whole Canadian transportation system and materially reduce the earning powers uf Canadian railways.

King Ferdinand has ordered a general mobilization of his forces ant is reported to have proceeded to the front personally to take command of his army. Unofficial advices from the Ruman Ian front are to the erfect that the Ru manians are making furious efforts to capture passes in the eastern Carpath ians leading into Hungary and already they are declared to lie fighting shoulder to shuulder with Rusian troops coming from Bukowina. While Berlin says that Rumania's attempts to pierce the pass leading to Hermannstadt and the Toerzburger and Toemoes passes, thus far have been futile, Vienna admits that owing to a "far-reaching encircling move ment by strong Rumanian forces," Austrian advanced troops have been forced to withdraw. What Greece's attitude will be as a result of Rumania's joining the entente allies is still problematical, but unof flcial advices to London express the belief that the Hellenic; kingdom will shortly throw in Its lot with the en tenle. The occupation by the Bulgarians of Kavala Is declared to have Intensified the feelings of the Greeks, who are said to be willing to follow Former Premier Venlzelos In any action he may advise. Venlzelos is strongly pro-entente. Reports Desperate Fighting. Desperate fighting on the border between Rumania and Hungary is reported in an Exchange telegraph despatch from Berne, Switzerland. The Rumanians, the message says, are making furious efforts to capture the Important mountain passes. Tremendous Importance. PARIS, Aug. 29.—Rumania's intervention in the war means four tilings of tremendous Importance—first, Austria-Hungary's extinction; second, tlie decisive triumph of the Slavs over the Teutons in southern Europe, thus sweeping down the Austrian barrier which hitherto has prevented the 180,- 000,000 Slavs entering into a complete community with the Rumanians; third, a greater Servia is doubly assured of its continued existence; fourth, tho war has entered upon its final phase and i.s considerably shortened. These are' the conclusions roachec" by men best Informed upon the situation as it has been shaped by Rumania's entry into the war.

To Mr. Jackson credit, must be given *lor the splendid system of roads which has been constructed since he became a member of the legislature. In Mr. Jackson workmen and the mining and ranching interests of the district have always found an earnest and successful supporter. He Is opposed by Dr. ,% D. McLean, an untried man who has shown himself as incapable as his leaders in the Liberal party of formulating any policy to take the place of the government policies to which lie is running In opposition. If the electors of Greenwood riding want the government policies continued they will vote for Mr. Jackson. IF THE AMERICAN RAILROAD MEN STRIKE. The fact that the threatened railway Strike would bring something approaching famine to New York drives home the treniendous importance of the'part that railroads play in modern life. If railroads ceased to operate New York ^'ould'be without milk in 24 hours, Its stock of meat would not last more than 10 days, flour would be used up in a week and general groceries pn hand, would be consumed In three weeks. : Similar conditions would exist in nearly all the large cities in the United States if the strike were prolonged, except in cases where water transportation could be utilized. At this time With so many ships under long-term charters to the warring nations, the TJhitcd States could not look for mucli relief In this direction, unless some drastic measures providing for the forcible seizure of shipping were pam- ed by congress. Even this would not go far to relieve the situation as the United States could not touch foreign vessels and food supplies in any event could not get far beyond the seaboard. If,the strike: occurs and Is prolonged American people are not going to starve but Jn some centres they will have to exercise considerable ingenuity to secure foodstuffs. <, WHICH DO YOU WANT, MR. VOTER PROGRESS OR STAGNATION? The voters of Kootenay and Boundary who Have faith in tbe future of the province and in the ability of Its people and who believe in progressive constructive administration will cast their votes on Sept. 14 for the Conservative candidates. Dr. W. O. Rose, R. J. Long, T. D. Caven, Thomas Uphill, Capt. J. N. Taylor, J. H. Schofield, Hon. L. A. Campbell, Hon. Ernest Miller, J. R. Jackson, William Hunter and Hon. Thomas Taylor are the Conservative candidates. They support the Bowser policy of progress and development of British Columbia's resources. A. M. Johnson, John Keen, Dr. J. H. King, A. I. Fisher, J. A. Buckham, M. H. Sullivan, W. D. Willson, J. E. W. Thompson, Dr. J. D. McLean, C. F. Nelson and Dr. Sutherland are the Liberal candidates. They oppose the government and Its progressive policies but offer no definite policy of their own. A vote for a Conservative candidate is a vote for progress and greater prosperity. A vote for a Liberal candidate Is a vote against the constructive policies which are bringing prosperity ind stimulating the development of the district. The Liberals would like to get t'he soldiers' vote but they do not want soldiers in the legislature. If King Consluntine still thinks that Germany will lie victorious he must be commencing to wonder how that will help Greece if the Bulgarians overrun liis country. Bowser's policy menus progress, Brewster has.no definite constructive policy and tto© course of action be has followed has been to obstruct the government's (measures to develop the province nnd make its people more prosperous. The Bowser policy is in the statute hooks of this province and is being put nto effect. The Brewster policy is Illustrated by a campaign of shallow criticism of what the government is iccompllsblng in tlie face of Liberal opposition. Russian troops are crossing Rumania. If they go directly south and attack the Bulgarians a vigorous offensive by tlie entente armies at Saloniki is likely. The Russian objective is probably the railway whicli runs through Servia and Bulgaria lo Constantinople, Tho Liberals pretend to favor the Workmens -Compensation act and tbe distribution of louns to farmers under the agricultural credits bill. If they are honest in these claims why did they try to prevent both measures from going into effect by their actions on March ty and again by tlie issuance the Brewster writ? Last week H. C. Brewster and M. A. Macdonald made a tour of Columbia riding where they showed their hive for the soldiers by urging the people of that constituency to defeat Capt. ,1. N. Taylor, the Conservative candidate, who is serving his country at Saloniki and is therefore unable lo defend himself against the attacks of his political opponents. H. C. Brewster, speaking at Golden, is reported as having made public a new scheme for raising provincial revenue. He said that trappers und hunters, under a Liberal administration, would l>c taxed more heavily. This would lie pretty tough on tbe hunters und trappers and if all they had were taken It would not very rapidly cause Ihe provincial coffers to overflow. ACROSS THE WORLD. Above me in an alien street The burning sun did fall; With clamor, us when armies meet, Life urged her great and small; 'Mid roar and tumult, dust and heat Went, burdened beasts and dolts of men. I felt; the hill-wind on my fact! The bog-moss nt my feet; I saw the white mist lift again; Heard Donald singing up the glen, As if liis love to greet. And half way across the world the song Came drifting sweet. Above tlie black old buildings hung The seething heat of day; And swarming children's laugh out- rung 'Mong trucks and cars at play; Men wrangled in an alien tongue, dr dwelt and slept as cattle may. I felt the call of upland fields, I heard the piper play The bonny tripping, dancing tune; I saw tlie sweet midsummer moon, And smiling—luring—stray, The bewitching grace of one girl's face Krom half the world away. —Margaret Hammond, "The Ettrick Untie."

By the same token, when Sir Robert Borden announced that Canada would contribute 500,000 men the figure staggered everybody but the head of the Canadian war office to whom nothing is impossible.—Ottawa Free Press. DOING .OR SAYING *> ♦♦♦♦ Mr. Bowser Is bringing to a close the third of his remarkably successful tours. He has addressed more than 00 meetings, large and small. Iri each of them the opposition candidate, or some one representing him, lias been allowed to speak. "We do not remember that any other government leader in Canada has ever allowed this privilege.: Mr.. Bowser and his colleagues^ and supporters might well have claim ed all tlie time at their own meetings, seeing that the opposition cuntbUlates have many chances during tlw campaign, ana tlie premier can only pass mat way once. But nothing lias been lost by these courtesies, as they enabled the government to meet criticism and charges on the spot, Mr. Bowser lias one greut advantage in this campaign. No one can say to nim that his platform is merely for electiuii purposes, and will never go Into effect. The Bowser program is no mere promi.se. It has gone into effect. The platform is not one of those illusive, cnangeuule, and repudiated deliverances, such as Mr. Brewster has ueen issuing and forgetting. The Bowser platform is in the statute book of tiie province. Never in Canadian political history were political promises fulfilled so completely and so soon. Wherefore Mr. Bowser is not obliged to explain what he means to uu so much as what he hus done.

For some years be has been the chief of the Independence party in his native land, but recent reports state that he has resigned the presidency of that organization and has launched a new party of even more radical tendencies. The main plank in the platform of the new Karolyi faction is1 said to be an early peace /between Hungary and il« enemies, regardless of the consent of the Austrian and German governments. He is said to have a large following In the Hungarian parliament. Count Karolyi made a tour of this continent shortly before the outbreak of the European war, and in his addresses in various cities he sought to enlist the aid of people of Magyar descent In the interests of home rule for Hungary and a separate parliament free from Ausrtlan domination. Following ihe assassination of the Austrian heir at Sarajevo he returned imedlately to Hungary. Little was heard of him until lost December when he delivered a speech in the lower house at Budapest demanding that the Vienna government make peace overtures to Russia and her allies. He asserted that Hungary had achieved everything she had desired from the war, and that further prolongation of hostilities would only add to the suffering and miseries of the people without accomplishing anything of moment. At that time he urged thnt Hungarian nationality should be recognized and that Hungary be given complete economic independence. He. like tens of thousands of his countrymen, is tired of tlie Prussian influence.—Cnl- garyj News-Telegram. | . . „ ■ E HEROINE OF LOOS. Mile. Fmilicnne Moreau, the young French school teacher, known through out Franco as the heroine of Loos, was recently the recipient of unusual honors at the British embassy in Paris. Wearing deep crepe—her father and brother were both killed at the front—Mile. Moreau was decorated by Lord Bertie, the ambassador, with the British military medal and the Cross of St. John of Jerusalem. Lord Bertie expressed his admiration of Mile. Mo- reau's conduct at Loos on Sept. 25, HH5 when British troops were under the enemy's fire. During 24 hours in the midst of a violent bombardment she did not cease to aid in removing British wounded to her father's house whicli she converted into an ambulance station and there gave them every possible attention. Lord Berfiie pinned both decorations on Mile. Moreau's corsage. The young girl was so moved that it was, with difficulty that she found words to express her thanks. y Mile. Moreau, when decorated by the Ambassador, drew, .from her pocket another "medal, which she pinned by the .side of those she,had just received. It was the'Freneh Military Cross, which she already held. A PRESS AGENT WHO ' OVER." i In a message from the press camp, the special correspondent from the Morning Post writes: Tlie events of the past two days have shown that one of the great towers on which tlie German leans is his machine gun. Jt is wonderful how well lie has protected them from the devastating effects of our preliminary bom- 'bardment. He has stowed them awuy iu deep dug-outs, In which no shell fire can penetrate; he has dragged them again into the light tu place them on his parapets; and has wrought fell work against our troops advancing to tlie assault, There is not an officer or soldier 1 have met emerging from the thick of the fight who does not agree that the modern machine gun is the bugbear of any man against an enemy position. Tjhe German' machine gunner dies but never surrenders. He is content to. remain behind after all his comrades have left in order to pour forth his deadly hail of bullets, and he never throws up his hands. How much damage a few men of this stamp may inflict on their foemen was shown in the advance,of the Gordon Highlanders against Mametz. Only 120 yards separated them from a German trench line. But the moment our bar- ji'age fire ceased the Bosches trained their machine guns on the advancing Highlanders, and swept them with a terrific fire. Yet the regiment won through. It had the singular ill-ludk to strike one machine gun section at Mametz, which was ready "to turn on the tup" at the instant of our men leaving the trenches. A sergeant of the Manchester, in speaking of tho prisoners captured, said they were "all sorts." Some were big fellows, but there was a fair jium- be'r of middle-aged, and also some very youthful soldiers. "I brought in myself," he said "two lads who did not look to be more than 15. Upon my word I was ashamed: to. do It. But they were very-nice b'o-ys and they cut the buttons off their tunics and handed them to us as keepsakes." Columns of space in New York city newspapers were used in an account of the life and death of Richard F. (Tody) Hamilton, who won distinction as press agent for Barnum and Bailey's circus. He died a few days ago at the age of 00. Ho has been regarded as the first of the modern publicity a-gents, In these days of modern publicity, some of which Is of the pitiless variety, it is natural there should be a lively interest in the manner in which "Tody" Hamilton functioned. He was the inventor of tlie modern circus poster, which considerably shocked the conservatives when Hamilton was in the heyday of his activities, but his answer to the shocked was a still greater shock. He had more color and more thrill put in the posters. He made known the wonders of the Cardiff giant and the sacred white ele- 'phant of Shim. As a reporter on the 'New York Sun when a young man' he learned what tlie people liked to read anil see. He learned how to "put it over." It has been said of him that he commanded more free space in the news* papers than any other press agent who ever lived. He wrote press agent stories with so much entertainment and so much news value in them that editors would no! reject them on the ground that they were advertising. And. he brought about situations that caused reporters to tumble over each other in an effort to get the story first. He once said that the greatest publicity stunt that he ever "put over" was the protest of the freaks. There was a department of the show made up of a, remarkable variety of what were called freaks. The word freak was oh jectionable to somo persons in that de partment, particularly to a proud little woman who moulded statues out of butter. Why call a woman of such ac complishments a freak?' She and others protested against the name and "Tody" Hamilton encouraged them In the protest. The protest reached the British public, for the circus was then in England. What was to be done about it? An appeal was made to the British people for a more humane name, and finally the circus accepted the suggestion of a canon of the Eng lish church that tho freaks be called "prodigies." Hamilton's publicity enterprise ex tended even to the death bed of P. T. Barnum. The noted showman had not long to live and I^amllton conceived the idea that a premature death notice in the newspapers would brace his chief up. He had one of the New York city newspapers publish three or four columns about Barnum's death. The account was well written and fully il lustratcd. Hamilton took a copy to Barn urn's bedside and showed It to him. Barnum lived four days lohger. To his physicians is attributed the opinion that he would have died soon er had it not been from the stimulation he received from premature mortality publicity.—Tacoma Ledger. the "Mrs, Blanks'' belongs to cream of society, does she not?" "Yes, but they Bay she Is lacking in the milk of human kindness." GOOD REASONS Liberals who denounce the provincial minister of finance because ho has joined the Bowser administration, may find that Mr. Stewart toas a good deal of Liberal company in refusing support to the Brewster combination. We do not know what Mr. Stewart's attitude toward federal politics may be, but he has given sufficient reason for his provincial position. He Is satisfied with Mr. Bowser's policy and program and is glad to help carry ib out. He respects Mr. Bowser himself and has confidence In him. He strongly disapproves of the course taken by Mr. Brewster and Mr. Mac donald during the last session and since its close, and believes that they should not be entrusted with the control of the province. Naturally he Is not attracted by the plugging operation which marked Mr. Macdonald'* arrival into public life, and he cer- talnly could not be favorably impressed with the way In which Mr. Brews ter and Mr, Macdonald behaved dur-, Ing the session and since in respect to that crime. A great many Liberals, who were much stronger party men than Mr. Stewart ever has been feel the same way about It.—Vancouver News-Advertiser, OBLIGING VESSEL He was describing the privations of a voyage from which he had just returned. "Then," he said, "I went down to the cabin to lunch." "Lunch," exclaimed one of his hearers, "But you told us there was nothing to eat left on board. "What did you have for lunch?" "Oh," was the reply, "it was a very modest affair: Beef, wine and an egg." "Beef? Where did you get the beef from?" "Oh,"' was the reply, "that came from .tho bulwarks." ' "And the wine, how about that?" "Oh, that came from the porthole." "Oh,:oh." laughed the listener, "Good, very giiod; but tell me where did you get the egg?" "OhJ that wns the simplest of all," was the reply; "the captain gave orders for the ship to Iny to, and he gave me one." i: VERY MUCH UNPREPARED. 0 Newspapers in Buffalo, Cleveland and elsewhere ridicule the military un- preparedness of the United States, as revealed-by the calling out of the National Guard for service on the Mexican border. We hear o'f regiments with uniforms for only a third of their membership, armories without reserve supplies of any kind, batteries without guns, troops without horses, rifles, but no cartridges, food, but no cooking outfits, tents but no blankets. The following sentences are clipped from newspapers in different states: "Troops sleep on cobblestones while their train with berths is switched around the sidings." "Company leaves without cooks." "Recruits leave in civilian dress." "Mustering incomplete." "Over one hundred men rejected as result of physical examination retards movement of Infantry." "Regiment needs physicians, ambulance men and stretcher bearers." "Companies will move as soon as equipment Is received from federal government."" "Members of troops refuse to take federal oath and delay departure." "Regiment (ios too many officers and must be reorganized." Incompetency, inefficiency and mismanagement are charged against the authorities. Political feel? Ing may account partly for this general outbreak of unbridled criticism, but In the light of such charges Canada must be regarded as having accomplished wonders. History will record no more striking feature of the great war than the comparative smoothness and ease with which this sparsely populated Dominion has mustered an army of 350,000, from which 200,000 effective troops have already gone overseas.*— Dnlly News, Toronto.

Belgians are Starving While Canadians Have Plenty Our Heroic Allies Deserve More Help than We are Giving An accident of geography, and the fortunes of war, have subjected Belgium to the cold-blooded, calculated cruelty and attempted starvation of the German conquerors—while we in Canada, secure from danger, are making money out of the War. Legitimate though our profits are, we surely owe a substantial share of them to our Allies, who are destitute because they dared stand up for their rights and defy the enemy.

"It is of interest to look into the reasons back of this huge sum spent In general newspaper advertising. Most of them are matters of the earliest record; some are of more recent development. "In the first place, the newspaper is a fixed daily habit in the lives of men, women and children. It is read every day by every purchaser of everything everywhere: It is read by tbe consumer who buys tbe article and by the dealer who sells it. and. like tbe weather, it is universal. Tn every city town or hamlet if is a local institution, known in every home and carrying with it the atmosphere of the community. It is the one daily means offered to the individual of laying his finger . upon the pulse of the world, and coming as a well known messenger, it personalizes the events of 'the day. "This universality of the newspaper Is the first thing that attracts the national advertiser. He knows that he can' buy newspnper circulation in exact quantities. He can cover one city or 100; one section, or a continent. His advertising represents the minimum of waste. He goes where tbe going is good and skips the places where be cannot do business. "The dealer knows that newspaper- advertised goods will not grow dusty on the shelves. "The newspapers of this country and Canada are doing much to stimulate and to crystallize this interest on the part ot the retailer in goods advertised in the newspapers. "In nearly every city newspaper men have impressed In some way upon storekeepers the fact that general newspaper advertisers are sending customers, direct to the retail counter, and that It Is In line with the dealers' profit to handle and to push newspaper-ad vertised goods as a class. "General newspaper advertising, while, still making up the smaller per rentage of the average newspoper's "revenue, Is becoming each day a more important item on the publisher's books. Newspapers Giving Closer Attention "Newspapers are giving closer attention to the problems of the national idvertiser. They are compiling facts abnut merchandising conditions in their communities which give tbe manufacturer an accurate business map for liis campaign. In a word, they are doing their part to make newspaper ndver-. Using an exact business Instrument. "We newspaper advocates are enthusiasts and we hnve reason to be enthusiastic, A thrill of just, pride goes with the knowledge that tbe medium we represent is tbe greatest social, political and commercial force in the world. Most of us live and die in the business, not because the financial rewards are colossal, .hut because other music is tame, tuneless stuff to ears, that know the hum of the high-speed presses. And while we are strongly' partisan in advocating our medium, we do not lose sight of the real merits and the real values offered by our mmpetU tor.<*. We are cognizant of advertising ideas and purposes that do not scpiare with our own; some nf them we respect and of the rest we strive to be .nlerant.

BRITAIN MODIFIES RULE THAT HELD UP MISSIONARIES WASHINGTON. — An amendment has been made by the British government to the rule affecting missionaries from the United States to British India. This amendment permits those who prior to the issuance of the order, had arranged to sail during August or September to do so If they make application to the British embassy at Washington sufficiently in advance of their date of sailing to permit inquiries to be made in tliis country. Several hundreds were affected by the order. As originally applying, and as it applies now to those who have not already arranged to sail during this or next month, it required application about three months In advance of sailing so that the applications could be forwarded to the British foreign office nnd to the Indian government before, being passed upon. Name, age, birthplace, citizenship, etc., must be given in the application and tbe name of the society under which the applicant proposes to go out. Each person applying must also sign a statement declaring: "I hereby undertake to do nothing contrary to, or in diminution of the authority of government as by law established in British India." References are also required. The British embassy at Washington received more than 200 applications under the amendment, some of whom allowed the embassy but five days or less in which to look up the references, etc., and get. the. answer to the applicant, _ .'_..■ $£: - _ News of §port CMS F ME TWO ROM League Race Tightened up by Winning of Double-Headers by St. Louis and Detroit.

Fraser, as senior prjjfes&or, acting for the principal, presided. and through the French Qmbassjj in London, be has.recently received a letter from tne French muilst'or .of'pulilic 'Instruction, M. Painleve, of which tbe following is a translation: The professors of the French universities .'whom the board of education had cordially invited to England, have just given fine, an enthusiastic account of their sojourn among your compatriots. Permit me to thank you particularly for Ihe reception whicli you have given them In your beautiful university. The visit which you have received lias only renewed tics already ancient. You have yourself recalled with eloquence that in 1884 French professors were present at the celebration uf tlie tercentenary of the foundation of the University of Edinburgh. The past and the present are guarantees of the future, and our friendship, more united by our com mon task, cannot do otherwise, when peace is restored, than become closer and deeper. MINERS, FEDERATION - .- AND COAL PRICE RISE LONDON, England—The executive committee of tlie Miners' Federation of Great Britain at a recent meeting at the Westminster Palace hotel considered the question of increases of the price of coal, and tnelr interview with Mr. Harcourt ut. the board of trade. The fpllowing resolution was unanimously passed by tbe committee: Tiie executive committee of the "Miners' Federation of Great Britain, representing tbe whole of the coal miners of tiie country desires to express ils astonishment that Mr. Harcourt, the temporary president of the board of trade, should have conceded the claim of the South Wales coal owners that tiio price of coal for home consumption fined in the'xoal mines limitation of price act, 1915, should lie varied from 4s. to 6s. 6d. per tpn.. Wu feel very strongly that no concession of this kind was, necessary to enable .tlie coal owners, in.South. Wales to carry on tliejr, business at a fair profit .to themselves, and we strongly protest against the- conduct of Mr. Harcourt in making the concession before hearing the representatives of this federation. We feel sure that claims of a similar character will bo submitted by the coal owners In Other districts, and It appears to this executive that it is merely another way to enable the coal owners further to profit by the home consumers of coal, and we wish to empliusi/.e tbe fact that any such additional burden will fall most heavily upon tbe poorest memhers of the working classes in all the great industrial centres. Inasmuch as this matter affects other workpeople more than the miners themselves, we consider the question should be vigorously taken up by organized labor as a. whole, and we desire to express our willingness to cooperate in any movement that may be necessary to secure the revocation of this latest concession to the coal owner. In the mealtime, we,,conslder that the question is of sufficient importance to justify the Labor party in moving the adjournment of lhe house w.ifh a view to-securing a full investigation into the matter. , In a statement at the.close of the. meeting Robert Smillie, the president, on behalf of the executive, said: At the meeting with Mr. Harcourt-on behalf of the miners 1 placed before him some figures with regard to prices and wages since the beginning of the war, In South Wales we found that the selling price of coal prior to the war was 16s. per ton; it is now 24s. an Increase of 8s. per ton. It is admitted that each 5 per cent increase of wages costs 4d. per ton. The Increases in wages have advanced the cost by 3s. 8d. per ton, leaving a balance of 4s. 4d. from which increased cost of production from other causes and increased profits will be earned. .

How to Lose Your Tan, Freckles or Wrinkles A day's motoring, an- afternoon on the tennis ground or golf links, a sun- bath on the beach or exposure on a sea trip, often brings on a deep tan or vivid crimson or, more perplexing still, a vigorous- crop of freckles. A very necessary thing then is mercolized wax which removes ta, redness or freckles quite easily. It literally peels off the. affected skin—just a little at a time, so there's no hurt or Injury. As the skin comes off in almost invisible flaky particles, no trace of the treatment is shown. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's and use this nightly ras you 'would -cold -cream, washing it off mornings. In a week or so you will have ank entirely new skin, beautifully clear, transparent and of a most delicate whiteness. Wrinkles, so apt to form at this season, may be easily and quickly removed 'by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in witch "haste], % pint. This is not only a valuable astringent, but;hns n. beneficial tonic effect also. OFFICER'S LETTER TELLS OF F GHTING 'Our Batteries Are Where German Trenches Were Few Weeks Ago," He Says LONDON, England—The following letter written by a young officer with the British "Expeditionary .Force ,ln France to his parents in Ireland hardly needs introduction. The actuality of the letter's Interest ln shown in the significant sentence: "Our batteries are where the German trenches were a few weeks ago." Divisional Ammunition Column, B. E. F. The last letter I wrote you was by candle light on a soap box, so it wasn't long. Life down here 1b pretty slack until we have to rush ammunition up or fill up the shell holes on roads. This Is liable to be exciting and is impossible to- do by day, as the roads are registered by the Germans and peppered all day, and sometimes a. bit of the night. We just dump the stone and the engineers fill up the holes. I wish I. had taken out gum boots now— a little rain here and the horses are up to their knees in mud. When a big straf is on, the muddy cross-country tracks are congested with A. S. C. wagons, infrantry transports, and the wagons of their batteries stuck up to their axles'-in mud. We are pushing the Germans back all along this front so fast that our guns are often coming into action ,In the open. This is why there are so many gunner casualites. We are situated in an extraordinary valley here with high hills on each side. I went up to the top last night and got a wonderful view. On the right I could hear the big French guns straffing. The wind was away from me, so1*1! couldn't really hear much, but shrapnel bursting high up with a bright flash was visible all over the front** away on the left the sky was lit up like a continual flash of sheet lightning so incessant was the artillery fire. We have got a complete ascendancy of the Germans in the air, our aeroplanes are buzzing all over the place and never a Hun to be seen. Our gas bags are hung up by tens alt along the line. The Huns put one up gingerly every now and then, but it soon comes down. Our batteries are now where the German trenches were a few weeks ago. No dugouts or funk holes when you're on the move, I dare say you read ln the papers that at a certain portion of the front where the gunners' work was so good not a strand of barbed wire was left and the German front line was flattened out well. I went up close to the front with a draft of Munsters to another division. I can't tell you the name or number of it. At that point we were about two kilometers from the first line and I could see Trone Wood or whatever it's called being shelled like fun by the Germans. A few weeks ago all the ground we were standing in was German. Shells had bust things up a hit. We talked to a sub. of one of the infantry regiments there, and he said that we'd soon be through the third Une into the open country; I guess I shall come in for that all right. I was about two days coming doWn, The train crawled along and It was impossible to keep those Irishmen in the carriage, specially as the train was full of other troops who all got out directly the train stopped, I had a corporal in charge of every ten men and in spite of that I lost six, however they turned up the next train at Railhead. All along the line they threw away their rations to lines of kids and women who yelled, Biskets! Biskets! Bully- Beef, Bully-Beef; the whole countryside flourish on our Tommy's rations; a pretty girl on the line gets knocked over with bully-beef and biskets. (May I point out that this wrong spelling is intentional... At one place wc got to we stopped for a bit and I and some other officers made for a hotel near the station and got baskets of strawberries and rolls of butter and stoked up in case we should be a week reaching the front. When we got to the railhead we washed in the stream and watched some Tommies coming out of the trenches with plenty of Prussian Guard helmets. Also a few hundred prisoners, not looking too bad. It was near this part of the front that tho Prussian battalion surrendered. I would ask you to send me some hooks, but as correspondence takes anout a fortnight I shall probably have plenty of work to do when they arrive. Please remember saddle bags. T'he evening straf is on just now, but wo don't get much noise down here. We lost a fc\v men and mules the day before I came, by an anti-aircraft gun firing at an observation gas bag over near us; they'missed the gas bag and dropped into our cozy retreat, but we "havo pushed them back so far now that we must be out of range—besides the gas bag has gone. I am wandering off the point a bit. They sent some guides down to us and we marched about eight miles along roads thick with dust churned up by the gigantic motor lorries rumbling to and fro— it was pretty hot too. Our merry j Irishmen were fed up to the teeth. Eventually we landed up at a camp. , Batteries hidden about near the front line loosed off a few rounds spasmodically every now and then, and up through the village near the camp I passed a lot of big Indian cavalrymen with fine sleek horses waiting till we have pushed through to the open country, I suppose, t handed my faithful Irishmen over, they weren't going to their own regiment.*1 The second In command wasn't very pleased to hear I'd lost six, so he offered me neither a drink nor breakfast. You can't keep men in carriages for two days, and at. one point the train spilt up and kept on shunting and went off quite suddenly In the dark. No officer there seemed know where the ninth division were,. so you see I made my first acquaintance with the "Practical Joke Department." Looking for divisions on the British front is like looking for a needle In a haystack. However, I wasn't for foot- slogging it back to the railhead so I got a lorry on the way back and on, arrival even the R. T. O. didn't seem to know much about the ninth. However eventuatly he introduced me to* a Scotch Major who by a great fluke, belonged to the ninth. He pushed me on to a lorry and I collected my kit1 and off we went, miles and miles, the: inside of the lorry so thick with dust that you couldn't see ,jthe . opposite wall. I wns white all over by this time, MISERABLE FROM E Felt Wretched Until He Started To Take "Fruit-a-tives" 594 Champlain St., Montreal. : "For two years, I was a miserable sufferer from Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble.

After going about 15 to 18 miles per hour for a couple of hours, they deposited me on the road and I wandered down to what looked like a camp. Here two gunner officers informed me that headquarters had just been advanced four miles. However, he lent me a wagon and a few mules and I trekked about three miles by road and one across country and arrived where I am now. This is a sort of a kind of ammunition column. There are about four sections and we supply about four battalions each; as far as I can make out ordinarily the wagon lines supply the batts. from a dump of ammunition, but In the straffs we take it right up to the batt. positions ourselves. I shan't take that mausei* up when I become F. O. O., if you get captured with any other but regulation service pistol you get shot. Well this letter is a deuce of a jumble I'm afraid. Hope you will unravel it all right. There Is not much water here, so I had a bath in the Somme, at that camp where the lorry put me down. We have to take the horses one mile to water three times a day.

UNITY OF SOMME DRIVE EMPHASIZED LONDON, England—The Splendid unity displayed between the British and French commands in their advance on tho Somme i.s shown by the Special correspondent of the British press witli the French armies, in a recent dispatch describing the initial stages of the French attack. It would be hard, he says, to find more conclusive testimony of the complete union of the allies in the present war than the choice of tbe point of junction of the two armies for malting: the great assault. The French loft wing, which was in contact witli the British army, held to the north bank of the Homme, and, .ih wns fitting, it was composed of tbe famous Twentieth corps—tbe French Tenth Lesion. To thn Twentieth corps belong tbe thirty- ninth division—lhe "Iron Division," which holds itself second to no infantry in the world. It is tlie French Ironsides' boast that they arc never elated by victory, since victory is (heir deserts, nor depressed by defeats, since they know that no troops in the world could have done more than they. On this occasion there was among 1 he veterans, who had seen nl the hardest fightinp- of tbe war, a certain sprinkling of young men who were coming under fire for the first time and were wildly eager to show themselves worthy of their corps. Together they formed the perfect combination of reckless dash and matured experience. As the Iron Division marched down, with their disciplined, springy swing that marks troops chosen from among the chosen, from the wooded bills north of the Somme to take up their position in the advanced lines ready for the assault, not a few Of thorn looked out across tbe marshes GEM TODAY The eminent actor, Burr Mcintosh in "MY PARTNER."

At 7:30 on the morning of July 1 the Iron Division opened the attack In the direction of Curlu. The opposing lines reached the Somme at a small hamlet called tbe Moulin do Fargny, about halfway between Vaux and Curlu. The first position the French had to carry was a steep cliff known as the "Gendarme's Hat." The French guns had stripped the "Gendarme's Hat" of the little vegetation that it once possessed and had worked havoc among the German defenses. The Hon Division made short work of the defenses that remained. They swarmed up the steep hillside and across what was left of the triple line of trendies with acrobatic rapidity, while their comrades swept round from the less precipitous bills above and met lliom on the crest. In half an hour tlie aeroplanes announced that tbe whole of the "Gendarme's Hat" was taken, and tbe watchers behind could see the young soldiers of the Iron Division cheering themselves hoarse and waving their handkerchiefs on the trenches they had so brilliantly carried. By 5 p.m. they had readied Curlu, but in the village itself on the higher ground round the church they met with a desperato resistance. The French artillery had demolished all tbe complicated defense works in lhe village itself, but a portion of the very powerful underground fortress constructed by tbe enemy In the vaults ot tbe church bad escaped destruction, and one or two maxims remained uninjured. In accordance with their orders the French infantry halted and sent back word to the artillery behind. At C o'cluck the fire of every gun available was concentrated on tbe -church of Curlu. in half an hour all was over. All the German defenses had been utterly .shattered. The French infantry swept forward relentlessly, and by 0 o'clock the whole village wus in their bauds. The Jrou Division had reached tbe objective of the first day's attack. From July 2 to July -1 the troops were engaged in organizing tlie conquered ground, a work of tremendous difficulty and labor. On the 5th they were ready to continue their advance, and at 7 in the morning the assault was resumed in tlie direction of tlie village of Hem, on the river bank. By noon Hem was in French bands. The next two days were devoted to organization. The British had decided to attack on the 8th the Bois des Trones (or Bois des Tronne, as it Is sometimes called, which, as it enfiladed certain positions, was causing considerable trouble, and the general commanding the French left supported this attack by advancing in the direction of Hardecourt. The Frenoh attadc began at 7 a. m. and by 11 o'clock they had captured Uie village uf Hardecourt. It would be difficult to find a better example of the perfect unity of the allies. At 1 p. m. the British infantry returned to ibe, charge and burled the enemy out of two thirds of the contested wood. French officers aro unsparing in their praise of the splendid dash with whicli this difficult operation was carried out and tho incomparable steadiness and endurance of tbe British troops.

Here's a new story." "Where'd you get it?" , "Drummer just brought it in from California." "Don't want to hear it—too far fetched."

NOTE ON PRISONERS CAMP AT RUHLEBEN LONDON, England—The foreign office recently issued for publication the following note, referred to in cable dispatches regarding conditions in the prisoners of war camp in Ruhleben, Germany. Tho note, dated June 18, was sent in the ordinary way from the American embassy, Berlin, to the embassy, London, and forwarded to Sir Edward Grey. Sir:—The reports of Dr. Taylor, our food expert, already sent to you give In detail conditions of the food supply in Ruhleben. I regret to state that practically no improvement ln tbe bousing of the prisoners has been made. The barracks at Ruhleben are overcrowded. The imperial authorities, after nearly two years of war, have certainly lind ample time to provide accomodation for the prisoners. It is intolerable that people of education should be herded six together in a horse's stall, and in some of the lofts tho bunks touch one another. The light for reading is bad, and reading Is a necessity, if these poor prisoners are to he detained during another winter. In tho haylofts above the stables, conditions are even worse. For cx- nmple, In Barrack No. 2 one half section of the loft is, at the centre about 10 feet from the floor, from the highest point, and the loft slopes downwards, so that at the sidos it is only V/2 feet above the floor; tho floor of this part of the loft is about 10 meters 20 by 12 meters 80. The beds are so close together that they touch. In 'this confined space C4 men live. After pointing out that the light from the littlo window is totally Inadequate, the note continues: Tho heating system should be improved and provision made for the drying of clothes by radiators or a drying room in each barrack; the prisoners ore obliged to answer roll calls outside, often In the rain, and iKtve no means of drying tb'elr.soaked garments. Many things, such as soap, usually issued to prisoners, even in jail, I am informed, have never been given to the prisoners In Ruhleben. Various authorities from time to time have promised that the housing would be bettered. The present conditions should no longer prevail; during another winter they will be impossible. The campaign authorities who, I am Satisfied, do all in their power to better conditions, have no authority to make these needed Improvements, but the conditions I describe must bo evident to any inspector acting on behalf of such authorities as mayvbe above the camp comander. I have, etc. (Signed, JAMES W. GERARD, The Hon.
