VOL. lb Nq. 7 NELSON, B. C, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 24. 1916 50c. PER MONTH ARE AT ST.EL0I Fighting in Mud . Under Overcast Skies IMS OF INDIVIDUAL HEROISM TOLD OF Sodden Ground Ploughed Into A Veritable Porridge (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Aptfil 23.—Desperate fighting on the St. Eloi salient, participated in >hy three Canadian battalions, the 2lfit (eastern), 19th (central) and 18th (weBtern), occurred the week of April 11-18. The Canadian general rep. resentatlve at the front In his weekly review tells of battles under unpreee- dentedly difficult circumstances in which the Canadians held their ground and in addition occupied a portion of [^ an enemy^trench. Many instances of individual heroism. are recounted. The communication follows: "Canadian General Headquarters in France, via Londan, April 23.—Tfhe struggle tot position In front of St. ji31ol was again the dominant Interest on the Canadian fornt, The still wearther of the previous week gave way to high winds and brilliant sun ■ shine to a sky overcast with clouds. . Occasional downpours of rain added to the burden of a waterlogged soil. By day and night the German guns pounded tlje narrow confines of the St. Eloi salient, the volume of IJritish fire swelling at times to bombardments of extraordinary violence. Great shells tore fresh holes in the already torn ground, obliterating the landmarks of previous explosions. Shnrpnel slashed over the fields, Bursting gas shells poi soned the air and f times oMachrymc-cal shells assailed the eyes. Wierd Night Scenes. At night Innumerable German flares illuminated the darkness and continu ous streams of bullets from rifles and machine guns crashed against our par. apets or swept over them far into the country beyond! In the face of such conditions our men Waged the fight, repelled enemy attacks, dug trenches and maintained their positions, Uunder normal conditions of trench warfare, the* struggle for so narrow a /strip as a few hundred yards would have quickly ended. Whether after loss or capture the trench lines would have been quickly readjusted and new defenses built. Observation and reconnaissance would soon have revealed the fresh dispositions of tho enemy. The extraordinary state of the tor- rain opposite St, Elol has been chiefly responsible for the prolongation of the fighting. With the Germans overlooking the great' part of the area, and with the ground sodden with water, the construction or even repair of trench was difficult. Only hy slow and laborious effort could the desired result he achieved. With the damp earth ploughed into a veritable porridge and dented with countless 'pits and holes, with steaniy vapors, veiling the landscape, and blotting from view all familiar landmarks, movement was infinitely hazardous and exhausting and reconnaissance almost an impossibility. Mud Daunts Bravest. In places even the hardiest were baffled toy the mud. At times even the most skilled lost their bearings. *~ . One night sections of a new German line were attacked and 'bombed toy men , our 13th western Ontario, 19th central Ontario, and ^lst, eastern Ontario battalions. On our left the bombing parties were'under the command of Lieut. E. C. Hooper of the 19th battalion and Lieut. C. H. Kerr of the 18$h battalion.. The night was misty and progress over tho broken ground very slow. Lieut. Kerr assisted as guide and eventually a position was reached clOBe to the German'lines. A light lifting of the fog revealed a number of the enemy, who at once hurled a shower of bombs In the dl- Nrectlon of our men. Most of the -bombs fell into the crater on the edge, OVER THOUSAND CHINESE SOLDIERS ARE DROWNED (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

FLOODS HAMPER BRITISH ADVANCE ON KUT-EL-AMARA (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, April 23.—Further efforts •by the British to advance on the Tigris toward K«t-el-Amara have been futile, the failure of an attack this morning on-the Turkish lines at San- nayyat being attributed in an official statement issued »■. this afternoon largely to flood conditions, which necessitated an advance over a very contracted, .front. .

(By TJaily News Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, April 23.—The Unit ed States government has made tenta tlve plans to cope with every conceit able situation which would result from the severance of diplomatic relations with Gernjany. For reasons they in- dlcated were obvious, officials last night deemed it useless to discuss de tails. There is reason for believing, however, that some of the plans have to do with the safety of American citizens in the German empire and that others have to do with American su pervision of, German interests in the counti-ies at war with Germany. Numerous despatches on these subjects are understood to have been sent to diplomatic representatives abroad, particularly to Amliassudor Gerard in Berlin. Among the despatches received from Ambassador Gerard within the last two days, Is one\deelarlng the manner in which the American note declaring the purpose of the United States to break relations unless Germany modified her submarine methods, was received by German officials. Mr. Gerard is said to have gathered at least an impression that the foreign office had no idea that the communiea- tlgn would bo as drastic and final as it was. Not Optimistic, The general feeling here last night apparently was not al all optimistic regarding tho otttc^K-. in the absence of further information regarding advices from Ambassador Gerard, the day's press despatches were read very closely. % Despatches of an Important nature are hourly expected from Ambassador Gerard. It Ha expected that before Monday or soon thereafter the ambas- sador will be in a position to forecast with some degree of accuracy what will be the view of the German government. In the meantime, the situation at Washington seems ono of tense expectancy. It Is considered quite probable that Austria will be called to account if it develops that her submarines have not been acting.with a proper regard for the rights of non-combatants. Reply Coming This Week. Germany's ■ reply to the United States note demanding immediate abandonment of illegal and Inhumane submarine warfare probably will be before President Wilson by Saturday. In the meantime, perhaps within 48 hours, Ambassador Gerard at Berlin Is expected to bej able to forecast the contents of the document. It Is pointed out that if neutral rights and international law were observed strictly by the German govern ment, all sources of possible difflcul ties with t%e United States would be immediately removed In some diplomatic quarters the statement made by a semi-official news agency that Germany.will act nlong the lines of national dignity and respect for neutral rights and. international law, as well as for vital German interests, is regarded as being a hopeful indication.

Amendments to Forest Act Will Benefit Operators Working Small ( Tracts. (By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, April 23.—In addition to providing fur exempting settlers -from payment of bounties on cordwood the amendments to the Forest act which have been brought down toy Hon. W..R. Ross contain . an important provision for . the benefits of tbe small logger. In cases where the sale of timber amounts to less than $2000 and the period of sale is less than two years the payment to the government of rental, cost of advertising, cost of cruising and forest -projection dues need not be made until-the first stum- page becomes payable. The government believes this provision will prove of great advantage to loggers who wish to operate on a small scale. Under the existing act it has been found that small operators were unable sometimes to take oyer timber from the government because of their inability to meet the various charges which were collectable before the logger could derive any benefit from the timber token off the areas concerned. Under the new provision which Mr. Ross has just introduced, loggers need not meet these charges until the logs are in the water when they will be a tangible asset.

REMITS PAYMENTS ON SOW ESTATES Amendments to Succession Duty Act Is Benefit for Deoendents of Men at Front. (By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, April 23.—Further legislation to 'benefit the dependents of soldiers or sailors who die in the service of their country has been brought down by the government. It is in the form of an amendment to the Succession Duty act which permits the minister of finance to rmit the whole or part of succession duties in the case of soldiers who die as a result of wounds or disease sustained on active service.

NEW YORK, April 23.—Heavy and persistent selling pressure was again highly effective during yesterday's two hour session, the recess of the preceding day merely accentuating the extent of the .liquidating movement. Trading was far tho largest of any recent weekend, approximating 600,000 shares/more than half of wiliich represented the output in the final hour when the list was almost without semb lance of support. The German and Mexican crises, for as such they are regarded, hy the financial community, were again thefac tors around which the feverish market centered; Special stocks, that apply more directly to the munitions, mineral, equipments industrials and oils, were steadily liquidated with few exceptions recording lowest prices of the year. In general these issues are 30 to 50 points under last year's best quotations. United States Steel which outstripped all other stocks in volume of offerings, maniftsted some steadiness at first, but fell back 2 to 80 as the selling movement gathered momentum. Rails wore immune for a time, hut the same cause was operative In that quarter later, coalers, grangers and transcon- tinentals losing from 1 to 2 points. Mercantile Marine preferred was conspicuous for its relative strength but yielded a point on its very large overturn. There were signs of liquidation in bonds, some issues receding materially on large offerings. Total sales, par value, $2,630,000. United States coupon registered 3s and coupon 4s declined 14 and Panama 3s registered y2 per cent on call during the week. GRAIN WES DROP TO NEW LOW LEVELS Bullish Reports Go Unnoticed by the Traders—Declines Due to Strained Foreign Relations. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, 111., April 23.—Strained foreign relations brought ahput material declines yesterday in the value of wheat. Prices closed unsettled 2 to 2% net lower with May at $1.12% and July at $1.11%. Liquidating 'sales, which were general In the wheat pit throughout the day, met with no active demand until just 'before the close Weekend and evenlng-up trades led to a moderate rally during the last 15 minutes, hut in the main sentiment continued bearish, despite prospects of a good decrease in the United States visible supply total on Monday. The action of a majority of wheat traders seemed to depend chiefly on the course of the New York stock market insofar as stocks appeared to guage diplomacy conditions, especially the crisis with Germany. To some extent, however, ithe Kansas state crop report, suggesting a yield of 2(5,000,000 bushels larger than in 1915; became effective as a cause of lower prices. Unfavorable weather for the seeding of wheat in the northwest was more or less ignored by dealers here, except as tending somewhat to check' the downturn of prices. The field reports from the soft winter states were also for the moment given scant notice, although one well known expert was out with a forecast of less than half a crop this season in Illinois and Indiana. ACTIVE STOCKS WEAKER ON MARKET AT TORONTO ACT DOES 1 ALTER CTS MEDICAL CONTRA Agreements of Physicians and Workmen May Continue Under , Compensation Law (By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, VICTQR1A, B. C, April 23.—It is understood that the railroad men of the province, while welcoming the provision in the new Workmen's Compensation act to provide for medical aid because of its benefits to some other classes of labor, will continue their present arrangement with the doctors. Under this plan they pay $1.25 per month and for this expenditure obtain medical assist ance, not only for themselves, but for their families. They point ont that the plan em braced by the new compensation bill will be of great benefit to men who at present have no arrangement under which they secure satisfactory medical aid. The bill provides that a sum of ] cent per day may bp collected from workmen and applied to the purpose of providing medical aid, which will include hospital fees and crutches, etc. in cases of personal injuries. As many of the workers have In ef feet arrangements with doctors under which they obtain medical aid for their families as well as for themselves the bill provides that all such agreements may he continued if the parties to tbem sfi desire.

The prominent bearish factor was the lower trend in Americans.

With the coming of dawn our party retired, succeeding with great difficulty and under heavy flre'ln carrying toack its wounded. The attack was most successful. Parties of our 21st battalion under Lieutenants Brownlee, Marks and Davidson bombed their way into a German trench and although severely shelled 'by the enemy's guns and trench mortars, blocked the trench at 'both ends and established 'bombing posts. Wounded Men Undaunted. Sergt. Major Edmunds, to whom leave had 'been granted to return to England in order to take a command, played a prominent part in tho attack and was .seriously wounded. Private Bruce Blanchard, although wounded through the lung by a rifle bullet, continued to throw 'bombs at the enemy until his supply was exhausted. Sniper Joseph Zacharias from an advanced position used his rifle to advantage until it was blown to pieces in his hands by the explosion of a German bomb. During the period that our troops held the line in front of St. Eloi tho circumstances of the fighting afforded a wealth of opportunities for deeds of daring and several members of each battalion greatly distinguished themselves in the eyes of their comrades. The following are but a few of the Instances: Deeds of Valor. Sergt. E. W.

Proper Food Makes Marvelous Changes Providenee is sometimes credited with directing the foosteps by so simple ja way as the reading of a food advertisement. A lady writes: "I wus compelled to retire from my school teaching because 1 was broken down with nervous prostration. "I suffered agony in my back and was in a dreadfully nervous condition, Irritable, with a dull, heavy headache continually, hud no appetite and could scarcely digest anything. I was unable to remember what l read and was, of icourse unfit for my work. "One day, as It* by providence, I read the testimonial.*^ a lady whose symptoms were much the same us mine, and she told of how Grape-Nuts food had helped her, so I concluded to try it. 'I began with Grape-Nuts, a, little 'fruit, and a cup of 1'ostum. 1 steadily Improved in 'both budy and mind. Grape-Nuts bus done more for me than all tho medicine I have, ever taken.

Times-Dispatch. 1 CARELESSNESS CAUSES FIRES j Eighty per cent of all fires begin through carelessness, and, after they are started, their spread and the great bulk of the losses therefrom is due to careless building methods. Insurance experts agree upon this. Of the recent three great fires in the south, cauSlng an aggregate loss of 15 million dollars, one Is known to have started through the carelessness of a boy; and the disastrous spread of all three was due to shingle roofa. The shingle roof is looked upon toy Insurance men as one of the greatest fire hazards, because it catches fire easily, and the burning shingles are carried on the wind, spreading the fire. Fire losses in this country and Canada In January and February of this year amounted to $46,184,120, an hv crease of $1,052,270 over the corre spondlng months last year. The three fires in the south this month will make the fire lloss for the first quarter of this year 30 million dollars more than In the first quarter of last year, insurance experts estimate. The'way to have lower insurance rates ts to have fewer fires and everyone can help toy bring 'careful,—Kansas City Star. THE PASSING OF THE CLAN MACTAVISH She passed as ihe ships of England In days of long ago! 'Twas a listing deck and a leaning mast That settled slow from the cannon's blast, When the raider boarded her at last To strike the final blow. She sank as the ships of England sank While yet the world was young! For her slaughtered seamen rank on rank Had died on the boat-deck's bloody plank And the shattered strakes beneath her drank The sea with thirsty tongue! She went as the sh'ps of England will When untoorn worlds are old! For her little guns, perforce, were still, And the flreroom began to fill 'Tilt the damaged engines felt the chill of death within her hold. She played the game as the English play, Regardlefes of the cost!

(By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, April 23.—Municipalities are given power to regulate, govern and inspect all places where articles of food or refreshment of man are sold, served, prepared or kept for sale, by one of a number of amendments which have been placed before the legislature by the municipal committee. The new power extends to regulating and inspecting the sanitary condition of places where food is prepared or kept or processes used in its preparation or storage. The cities are also given power to compel bakers to latoel each loaf of bread with its weight and the name and address of the toaker or manufacturer and to establish slaughter houses and swimming baths. Another amendment deals with the power of cities to convey school sites to school boards, Municipalities, under another change which Is to be made in the act, are given authority to define "the channel or bed of any stream passing through the municipality and for constructing flumes or artificial works to protect the toanks of such stream from erosion or damage. For the purpose of constructing flumes or artificial banks to any such stream as so defined the municipality shall have the right to appropriate land which constitutes the channel or toed of the stream without compensation to the owner or owners. Municipal Loans. Section 97 of the Municipal act is amended to enable cities to issue serial or instalment bonds and a substitute for section 102 authorizes municipalities wherin sewer rentals or water or gas or electric light or power rates or charges are enforcable under the provision of the act to borrow money on the security of such rental or rates. . As additional security the municipality may make a general guarantee of the repayment of such loans. Sufficient sums must toe set aside each year to meet the payments due under bonds issued in this way. Power to make contributions to the Canadian patriotic fund Is given to cltfles, tout no such grants shall be made except toy unanimous vote of the aldermen present and after notice of resolution has been given at the next preceding meeting. Collection of taxes toy instalments and the acceptance from time to time of payments on account is provided for in another amendment. Tax Sale Deeds. > The question of notice tp delinquent property owners before tax sale deeds can toe issued to another person for lots which have been sold at tax sale was the subject of considerable discussion before the committee. It,has been dealt with in the following amendment: "The collector shall give to every pterson who at the time of the sale appeared In the land registry,, office registers of the land registry district In which the land is situated as owner or as holder of a registered charge on the land a notice in writing, of partly in writing, and partly in print, of the sale and of his intention to issue such deed, and such notice shall be deemed properly given, if sent by registered mail to the registered owner and to the holder of every registered charge at the address of such owner or holder as shown on his application to 'be registered as such, or to the solicitor or agent of such owner or holder as shown by such application at the address given in such application. The notice as herein provided for shall, In respect of lands sold for taxes In the year 1915, be given at least three months before the execution of the dee! provided for in section 270 of this act, and in respect of lands hereafter sold for taxes such notice shall be given within six months after the date of sale." The transient trader clause In the licensing section provides that a license of not exceeding $500 for every six months may be charged transient traders. Transient trader is defined as a person who on commencing the business of offering goods or merchandise of any description for salo by auction or otherwise and being requested toy a represenatlve of the municipality to give security to the amount of the license fee that he will carry on business in the municipality for not less than one year refuses to do so. Muni, cipalties are also given power to revoke trade licenses held toy persons who have broken bylaws. No refund is necessary in such cases.

"To the east of-the Meuse and In the Woevre region the artillery has only toeen intermittently active. "The night was quiet on the other parts of the front. "South of the Somme our artillery carried out concentrated fires on the German trenches in the neighborhood of Fransart and Hattoncourt, south of Chaulnes. "West of the Meuse and in the Woevre. there were artillery gusts, but not Infantry . action occurred during the course of the day. In Torralne we vigorously shelled the enemy works In the sector of Lelntrey. No events of Importance occurred on the rest of the front, "Thirty German divisions have appeared on the Verdun front up to April 22. It Is to toe remarked that the German command seeks ,to carry on the action with the least troops possible' and keeps them at the front until they are completely used. As fast as losses are sustained the German command reforms the units by means of reinforcements and brings them back to the attack when they are scarcely reconstituted. It is thus that certain divisions have reappared on this front as often as three and even four times," The Belgian official communication reads: "The activity of the opposing artillery forces was resumed with vigor today, particularly in the whole sector bettween Nleuport and Dldmude. German transport toy railroad was effectively taken under our fire near the village of Beerst." Berlin Statement. BERLIN, April 22.—The German general staff today admitted that the British had recaptured trenches lost to the Germans last Monday. Admission was also made of a suc- cesful attack by the French on the German positions in Caurette Wood. The statement added that French attacks at Le Mort Homme were repulsed.

If the British Empire is worth while," he said, "it is the duty of every man to do all in his power to uphold its greatness." The speaker then asked every young man to think seriously and ask his soul the question whether, when the war is over and he was asked what part he had taken in the conflict .whether he would rather be a stay-at-home anda quitter or a Bruc MeClennan, a Jack Goulding or a Bob Quin.

Leith, who spoke on behalf of the mayor, who was out of town, and as president of the Canadian club, declared that _In the war Canada had found its soul and had written a page of the.world's history in the blood' of Its boys from the office, the field, the universities and the homes, that would never be obliterated while time should last. .But declared the speaker, mast never forget that although Canadians, they are also British. When the mother land sent the fathers of this country out to sot up housekeep' ing for themselves, It kept the great British navy behind them and that therefore to be a better Canadian,,!*, better Australian or a better South African, was to be a better Britisher. Rev. Fred H. Graham, in addressing the gathering, quoted the British war office announcement following the ibat tie of St. Jullen, as saying: "The Co.- nadians have had many casualties, but their gallantry undoubtedly saved the situation." This, he said, was high tribute as the .British war office, he declared, did not deal in romance. A year ago, continued the speaker, the Canalan troops at SI. Jullen, among whom were a number of men from Nelson and the Kootennys, carved tho word "Canada" on the annals of history and set a standard which, xhc declared, every man recruited in Canada would keep before him ad make'it his earnest endenvor to live up to., 'It is all very well to say 'hurrah,' nnd 'God's speed' when the soldiers leave for the front," continued Mr. Graham, "but we at home have our Work to do, There are lessons to be learned at home as well as"*3>h the shell raked battlefields of Flanders, and' one of the lessons is to get rid of the 'Hip-hip-hurrah patriots'who have one eye on the flag and the other on main chance, of the menwho line the streets when te men go off to war and cheer them on their way and then turn round and try to get the jobs they are leaving behind." In closing, the speaker paid a trib ute to the mothers who have willingly given up their sons to the service. Tribute to Bandsmen. Preceeding the speeches, which were delivered in the open air at the corner of Ward and Baiter streets, the mem bers of the Nelson -company of the 225th battalton accompanied hy tho boy scouts and the boys' brigade, paraded the city streets. Music was furnished by the city band, some of the hands- men wearing the khaki uniform of the 225th, and the bugle band, One of the features of the procession was the presence in it of E. Sutcliffe, a veei*an of the Crimea, and Sergt. Bob Quin, Pte. Bruce McO|ennan and Pte, J. C. Goulding, who were disabled during the present war. A touching tribute to a former member of the city 'band, Pte. Ben Crowther, who was killed in action In the battle which was being celebrated, was to he seen in the instrument which he used toy' play, which was draped in black.
