All ENGLAND SOU OF GREAT VIC DRY Premier Sifton, Back Home, Says Canadian Soldiers Have Made Wonderful Impression (By Daily News Leased Wire.) EDMONTON, Sept. C—That there Is little hope In England of the war ending this year was the statement made by Hon. A. L. Sifton tonight. Tho premier has just returned from the old country, where he visited the soldiers from Canada at various camps in England and also met many on furlough from France, and he stated that not only did they look well but expressed no dissatisfaction with conditions. How they had acquitted themselves in the fighting was written about not only in the newspapers but was the talk of soldiers back from the front as well. The people of England are thinking of practically nothing el.se except the war and war conditions, the premier said. "London Is more crowded than ever. Every hotel and restaurant Is full. The people who formerly went to the continent cannot get there now and people are coming Into the city to see their friends and relatives home from the front or to see the troops, all making the city more crowded than it usually is at this season. There aro no summer vacations. "Nobody ever talks of any fear of the final result. But the general impression Is that it will be some time yet before the war is over. There does not appear to bo any genera! hope, of It ending this year." Mr. Sifton said he had an opportunity of seeing quite a number of the Canadian soldiers at Folkestone and Bramshott, and also many of those who had come from France on leave. "All of them," said he, "appeared to be In good condition and thero was no feeling of dissatisfaction." The Canadian troops, ho added, have made a wonderful impression over there. There is a good deal of talk about them all the time among the soldiers and in the newspapers, Wherever they have been la action they have dono more than was expected of them, and they are recognized to have been of immense benefit. Premier Sifton spoke In terms of the highest praise of tho military medical department. The organization for bringing tho wounded men to the hospitals was most efficient and there were excellent hospitals all over the country. Speaking on tho financial side of the wai"i he snld it had been a surprise to everybody to see the ease with which the money was obtained. There was practically no business being done but what was in some way connected with the war and yet there was apparently no scarcity of money for what was needed.

It comprises, he stat- d, more than 8000 articles, the prod- cts of German and Austrian industry, which were collected by the commercial Intelligence 'branch of the jtritlsh board of trade with the object f capturing enemy trade. Wherever hown in Great Britain they have exited the interest of manufacturers and ave been the object of careful study, Tho Idea of bringing the exhibit here to ascertain whether Canadian man- facturers are making, or can make rticles of the kind shown, either for ireign or the home markets. In most asos the price at which the article aa been sold by German or Austrian merchants is attached. It was possible to secure the exhibit for Canada, for only a limited time and for this reason It was decided lo exhibit them only at Montreal and Toronto as the two most convenient manufacturing centres. .They will be on view two weeks in each city. Mr. Kershaw of the commercial intelligence brunch of the British board of trude will accompany the exhibit and Watson Griffin, acting commissioner of commerce, will have charge of arrangements in Canada. Mr, Griffin will, be In Montreal in a few days to secure a sultnlile building for the exhibit. While this will be only a temporary exhibit, arrangements are under way by the trade and commerce department for the establishment of a permanent sample museum at Ottawa, Instructions have been sent out to Canadian trade commissioners all over the world to collect the samples and this is now being done, Australia being one of the first countries in which collection Is being made. It will be some months before this work is sufficiently far advanced to establish the-museum, although a building is now being secured in Ottawa as a- temporary home. When complete, the museum will be large and will occupy considerable space, LAND SETTLEMENT PLAN IS PROPOSED Project to End Speculation in Farm Property and Establish Communities Put Forward. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) TORONTO, Sept, G.—To end speculation In farm lands; to provide continuous rather than scattered settlements are the two objects which W. J; Black, recently appointed commissioner of agriculture. Is endeavoring to attain. With this end In view he proposes that settlement boards, appointed jointly by the federal and provincial governments ha organized in the various provinces; that these boards have legislative authority to take over any unoccupied land suitable for agricultural purposes, paying for the same at a fair price based on present values. It is proposed that men with families shall be allowed tn settle on the lands taken over and that such settlers be given a long time, possibly 30 years, in which to pay for the land located upon. It Is further proposed Unit settlements so formed shnll be continuous, that is, thnt there shall be no "spreading out." It is also contemplated as a means of preventing speculation on the part of those takiag up holdings under this plan that the hulders shall not be allowed tu dispose of their holdings until a. certain proportion has actually beon brought Into cultivation. "Where are you going to get settlers?" Mr. Black was asked. "There are hundreds available in Winnipeg and other cities along the great lakes," he said. "Not all of these have had experience In farm work and on this account I would suggest that past graduates in district representative work, or successful farmers be appointed to direct the operations of the settlers."

LONDON, Sept. 7.—officials of the British foreign office have not yet had time to consider, tho general revenue bill, but news of the passage of the- bill through the United States senate lasL night excited considerable interest. An official Of the foreign office said today that the department rally recognized the importance of this legislation but that any statement as to the government's attitude must, await tlie return of Lord Cecil, minister of war trade. It is expected that one result of the action of congress will he tn hasten a reply to the Washington protest against the British blacklist. The Bill WASHINGTON, Sept. . (I.—The administration emergency revenue bill was passed hy lhe senate, 42 to Hi, late Tuesday night. The measure was designed lo raise $ 2 05,0 00,000 annually from taxes on Inheritances and war munitions and from Increases In the Income tax, creating a tariff commission, establishing a protective tariff on dyestuffs, providing for protection of American firms from ''dumping" at; the end of tho war, and giving lhe president authority to take drastic retaliatory steps against allied Interference with American trade. Retaliatory Measures Amendments for retaliation against Great Britain for emburgoes on American goods,tire-trade blacklist and-in* terference witli the tnnilH were agreed to without roll calls and were unopposed In debate, The amendments would authorize tlie president to: Deny use of United States mails and other methods of communication to citizens of any belligerent nation which decs not accord those facilities to American vessels, citizens, companies or corporations. Withhold clea ranee to any vessel from American ports which gives "any advantage whatsoever to any particular person or institution in tlie United States or its possessions or to tho citizens of the United States residing in neutral countries abroad," or is subjecting any of them to "any undue discrimination In regard to accepting, receiving, transporting or delivering any cargo, freight or passcnegrs," Might Use Military Deny the commercial privileges and facilities of lhe United States to any vessel or citizen of a belligerent, nation which does not accord« full facilities of commerce to American citizens that are accorded to citizens of other nationalities, or to withhold clearances to vessels of such belligerent nations until "reciprocal liberty of' commerce has been restored." Employ ihe land and naval forces of the United States to enforce tho retaliatory measures; and to prohibit, importation of goods into the United States from nations which prohibit the importation Into their own or into any other country or dependency of any legal article produced In the United States. Creates Tariff Commission Another retaliatory provision would prohibit the admission of halibut or salmon Into the United States from tho Pacific coast through any foreign nation except in bond from n United Slates port. This is directed against an alleged Canadian monopoly of tlie Pacific north west flsti industry, and is designed to encourage revival of nn American fish industry, Tho Dill creates a tariff commission to consist of six members to be designated by the president. The commission would investigate lhe administration and fiscal effects of the customs laws; relation between the rates of duty on raw materials and finished or partly finished products; effects of all duties; all questions relating to the operation of the tariff laws; tariff relations between the United States and foreign countries, and would make reports to the ways and means committee of the house and finance committee of the .senate. E GERMAN LINES SOU! OE SOMME REDUCED BY THEIR LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY TO VILIFICATION OF OPPONENTS Upon charges and Insinuations against the government alone are the Liberal leaders and the Liberal candidates basing their appeal to the electors. They say that because of these charges a government whicli is putting into effect a constructive policy for the development of the province should lie thrown out and the Liberals, who offer no constructive policy to take the place of that Lhey would defeat, should lie placed In control of provincial affairs. Now what nre these charges? They have been made nnd reiterated by the Liberal leaders, hy Liberal candidates and Liberal campaign speakers and press. Thoy centre on the parliament buildings, the Pacific Great Eastern railway, the Kltsilano reserve, tiie Songhees reserve, the Dominion Trust, the sale of Renfrew lands, ami the re-registration of a lumber company's mortgage. None of these charges Is new. Every one was made prior to the byelections* When tlie legislature opened last March Premier Bowser threw wide the dour to Inquiry, Investigations, months of investigations, were held and, now that the Liberals were given the opportunity to make good their allegations against tha*premier and the government, they had to admit that lhey could not do so. They bad made their charges nf corruption without possessing what straight-forward men usually insist upon possessing before impugning tlie honor or personal Integrity of an opponent—the evidence to support their allegations. They investigated dozens of transactions and were given every opportunity to probe any other charges they cared to make. The result was that not a cent of money was proved to have been dishonestly spent; not an instance of corruption by any government member was shown. The Liberal leaders were exposed by their own actions as men guilty of making charges against their opponents that could not ho substantiated; What, was their course when the campaign opened? Flrsl they repeated the old charges. But the evidence of their own Investigations proved theso allegations to be unscrupulous political slanders. The next step of the Liberal leaders was to .set about: to make new charges, First of all it: was tlie soldiers' vote. Their allegations here were given the lie by their own Liberal scrutineers. Then it was the Wallace shipyards allegation that was .so wide of ihe mark that it had to be backed tip by tlie use of a forged document, As each charge is disproved another one is manufactured. It is all tlie stock in trade the Liberal spokesmen possess. Having nothing to offer for stimulating lhe industries of the province and bringing about a condition of greater prosperity lhey are reduced to the weak position of concocting charges and attacking what their opponents are doing. i . The Liberal party,in this election is in the position of the salesman who has no good product of his own to boost and whose sole argument is to knock the goods of liis competitor. Does such a salesman ever make good? Counter-Attacks .North of River Cheeked BATTLES IN DOBRUDJA U. S. INTERESTED IN Rumanians Assert They Have Retaken All of Frontier East of Danube to Bulgaria.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) TORONTO, Sept. 6.—Hon. J. D. Ha- zen, minister of marine and fisheries, tonight made an announcement regarding Canada's prospective naval contribution to the fighting strength of the British fleet. N Speaking at the Royal Canadian Yacht club, where he was the guest of honor at; dinner, he stated that the government of Canada mnde the proposal to the British government that Canada bear the expense of men to go forward to serve in the British navy, pay them the same rates as paid in the Canadian navy and to the men in the expeditionary force. This was accepted by tHe admiralty and the British government and in a few days he hoped the details of Hie .scheme would be made public. , When the .appeal for recruits came he knew that the members of the Royal Canadian Yacht club would help by personal influence so that before the year ended Canada would send over several thousand men, who perhaps would not enlist in the overseas land forces, but who when they got on board ships of the British navy would, he believed, be able to join in what the overseas expeditionary force had done in making the name and fame of Canada greater throughout the world than before. Hon. Mr. Hazeii announced striking figures in regard in the transportation of goods and munitions. He stated that beginning April, 1915, and ending March, 1016, there were sent across the seas for the assistance of the allies and of the British soldiers fl73,80.i tons of Canadian products through Canadian ports. , YZES STRIKE PARA NEW YORK (Continued from Page One.) vote on the question of a sympathetic strike, it was declared, had been called for tomorrow. At police headquarters it was announced that a thousand patrolmen were available to protect the Interborough carbarns. Six hundred detectives in reserve in the greater city were ordered to remain on duty. Interborough carbarns have the appearance of barracks. Approximately 4000 men were being housed and fed in preparation for the anticipated strike orders. Most of the men were hired by strikebreaking outfits at the time of the railroad emergency and were taken over without lapse of employment by the Interborough. Should the strikers succeed in their threats more than 12,000 employees will be affected and New York will face the worst tieup of its transportation lines in its history. Line Quits Service. The first interruption in service occurred shortly before midnight on the surface car lines of the New York Railway company, when motormen and conductors began turning in their cars at the barns. Frank Hadley, general manager of the company, at midnight suspended traffic on the 23rd street cross-town line. William D. Fitzgerald, general organizer of the union, addressing employees of the Interborough & New York Railways company tonight, after the strike had been declared, advised them to "keep out of trouble." Trains were running as usual long past midnight in the subway and on the elevated lines, despite reports at headquarters of the union that many men had quit. Union leaders declared these men hnd been replaced .by strikebreakers. From midnight on the police were kept on the jump in response to calls fro mplaccs where strikers congregated. A riot call from a hall In whlc'i 1000 strikebreakers were herded disclosed the fact that a brick had been hurled by a strikebreaker into a crowd of strikers and their sympathizers who, it was alleged, had tried to Intimidate the former. It was announced at the city hall that Mayor Mitchell, who has been attending the military training camp for civilians, at Plattsburg, Is expected here some time tomorrow.

The mayor proved an interesting witness and counsel had a hard time keeping him to question and answer. Several times Mr. Martin started to make what Mr. Laflamme, counsel for the city, declared was a speech and at one time he complained bitterly that never before had a mayor been summoned as a witness in such a case. The mayor confirmed some statements made by previous witnesses. Me denied many of importance, mostly those of ex-Controller Hebert. Ho denied that he had participated in an oath as testified by Hebert, between Hebert, Cote and the "mayor, to stand by ono another in carrying projects through the board of control, "like Father, Son and Holy Ghost," he had merely promised to help the two controllers iu the interest of the city.

GENEROUS DONATIONS COME PROM WINNIPEG Sub-Committee Sends $11,000 More to the Bobian Relief Committee, 59 St. Peter Street. Montreal WINNIPEG, Man. Sept. 6—Between June 23 and Aug. 5 inclusive this year the Winnipeg sub-committee of the Belgian Relief Committee has raised ¥11,000. This is only a continuation of the excellent work that has been done previously in this city. Winnipeg, the centre of the western country which has profited so much through the full crops of the last two seasons, has not been slow in appreciation of the fact that out of the fullness of their revenue they owe something to that country which is now on the verge of starvation as a result of its determined stand against the enemies of Canada and the Empire in the first days of the war. Winnipeg, like all other parts of Canada, will get this money back as every cent of the money contributed for Belgian Relief is spent in Canada by the Belgian Relief Committee. Money is of no use in Belgium—food is the great necessity. The food is purchased in Canada so donations are of the "brend cast upon the water" type. The contributions made In Winnipeg have been forwarded to the Belgian Relief Committee office, 59 St. Peter street, Montreal, under whose careful administration $2.50 Is made to provide food for a Belgian family one month. plikeug IB ? ■'-'"■ - **"■*■'■■■ ■ i '•■■ -ir Tf- The sales of Noblemen Cigars have more than trebled during the ' past , throe mbn'tns. Have you tried one Seattle Editor Tells Real Story of What Prohibftion Has Done for His City REFORM ENDORSED BY BITTEREST OPPONENT Man Who Conducted Stringent Fight for "Wets" Admits He Was Wrong CITY HA8 PROSPERED Business and Social Life of Con munity Benefited by New Order While local contemporaries of Tbe World continue to run stories alleging the failure of Prohibition In Seattle, and local anti-Prohibitionist! continue to pay for expensive adver Using space In their columns to make false statements regarding the success of tho Prohibition measure through out the State of Washington, the Seattle Times, the bitterest opponent Prohibition has had in the oity of Seattle, comos out pronouncing that Prohibition Is not only a success, but endorsing the measure and exposing somo of the tactics of the ant! Prohibitionists outside of the State of Washington, who are trying to show that the measure has not been,a success. Here is what Mr. C; IT. Rlethen, edilor of the Seattle Times, the leading paper in tbe evening field Seattle, has to sny for Prohibition, a mpiisuro that he fought most bitterly a few months ago. From Mr. B let hen's Pen "Well, we've had six months of Prohibition. And I can't find those miles of empty stores. ' . ,', "I think six months is a'.sufficiently long period from which to draw conclusions as to effects of tho law on business! Frankly, T don't Intend to concern mvself much with the morals of Prohibition. They say that, 'By their fruits ye shall know them.* "If that's the case, tho morals of Prohibition may ho determined by the things that liave happened under the law. "in several states, three of which are Montana, California and Missouri, advertisements and news articles are appearing daily In newspapers, much similar in construction and tone to the advertisements and arguments against Prohibition which appeared In the columns of the Times prior to the 'dry' election In Washington. "There isn't so much being said about the evil effects of Prohibition on Kansas as was said in thn advertisements that appeared in Seattle. "Perhapfj tliis Is . due , to the fact that the men responsible for tho 'wet' publicity have found out what T have- that It isn't safe to base any arguments against Prohibition on conditions in that state. On the contrary, I have become convinced that the results of Prohibition In Kansas are about as powerful arguments for the 'drys' as thev could possibly desire. "Rut here's the pinch, coming In the exact spot T expected it to when I gave an Interview to the Kansas City Star. Insisting that Seattle was bettor off under the dry law; Seattle and the State of Washington have been picked as substitute horrible examples. Same Thing Here "Every day newspapers in Montana. California and Missouri are printing advertisements and interviews against Prohibition which assert that Seattle and the State of Washington have been harmed beyond re'iJa'fr"* by the law which became effective' January 1 Over the signatures of liquor dealers formerly resident in Seattle and the various wet organizations of the states which are engaged in Prohibition stores in Seattle, that business has gone all to smash, that former leaders hi business are leaving town because of deplorable business conditions, that rentals are off to nothing at all, that bank clearings are down, that merchants are doing no business and so on and so on and so on. "It is human nature to like a man who will say be knows he Is wrong when he finally discovers it.. But it Is infernally hard for the human animal to recede from a position for which he has once commenced to make public argument. It is so much easier to say: 'There! You see, I was right after all,' than to say, 'Well, I was wrong.' "So I shall try to comfort myself with the thought that the thinkim readers of the Times .will be willing to extend enough credit for an i mission about to be made to offset the 'loss of face' which accompanies the abandonment of a long-defended position. Admits He Was Wrong "The Times admits it was wrong when it said during the campaign against Prohibition that the enforcement of the statute would mean miles of empty stores ln Seattle, reduced bank clearings, reduced bank deposits, reduced rentals, reduced realty values and general depression. Six months ago the law went into ^effect. None of the dire things prophesied for the first half of the year 11110 haS occurred. On the contrary, Seattle has prospered wonderfully. "I am not attempting to say that Prohibition, when enforced, makes prosperity. I have my own opinions about that, which have no possible value in an article of this kind. But I do say that certain wonderfully prosperous and gratifying conditions have followed the enforcement of tho law regardless of what caused them to happen, and that the disasters which t personally believed would occur, have not happened, nor do now I believe they ever can happen. }< "The interview concerning Prohibition wbich I gave tlie Kansas City Star was almost accurate as It appeared in print on February 9. Certain small mistakes which crept in became difficult to correct as I traveled farther east; so 1 determined not to take up the subject in, thevcolumns of the Seattle.Times until I had.returned to my own city and gathered evidence CoYOtlng" the first six months of the in minor places only, is the Kansas City Interview: - ■ "/The world Is watching Seattlo to see' how Prohibition works out In a large city. Seattle is the largest city that has ever had prohibition. .It and the whole State of Washington be came dry January 1 of this year. " 'The strongest single force that worked against Prohibition in the State of Washington was the Times, tho leading newspaper of Seattle, In its campaign against the passage of the prohibitory law it used -all the familiar old arguments, such "Prohibition doesn't prohibit," that il would force down rents, that so much property used for saloons all at once made empty and unproductive in one clay, would have a bad economic effect, and so on. "'Why We Fought Prohibition. "'The editor of the Seattle Times, Maj. C. B. Blethen, one of the men who made the fight against Prohibi tion, was at the Coates House yesterday. He was asked how Prohibition was working and if all-his prophecies had'come true, He said: " ' "My paper fought its damnedest against Prohibition. We fought It on economic grounds alone. We behoved that in a great seaport city with a population of upwards of 330.000, Prohibition would lie destructive: it would bring on economic disaster. We believed that under our system of llcens ing saloons we had the liquor traffic about as well controlled as It could be, and we wanted to let it alone, and so we fought as hard as wo,could fight. But ip spite of all we could do against It, Prohibition carried and it went Into effect in Washington January 1. We have had a month of it now." " ! "And how has it worked out?" " 'Business Expended Quickly. " ' "We already know that it is great benefit morally and from economic standpoint. Its moral •benefit had been tremendous. Seattle bad 33fi saloons, and we had about 1600 arrests a month for crimes and mis demeanors growing out of liquor drinking. Tn January we had only 765 arrests and sixty of those were made January 1, and were the result of 'hang-overs' from tho old year. The year previous there were 2600 arrests in tho same month. That in itself is enough to convince any man with a conscience that Prohibition is neces sary. There can be no true economy In anything that is immoral. " ' "And on top of that great moral result, We have these economic facts: In the first three weeks of January the .savings accounts in the banks of Seattle Increased greatly In numbers. There was not a grocery store in Seattle that did not show an increase of business in January greater than ever known in any month before in holiday time. In all tbe large grocery stores the increase was immense. In addition to this, every drygoods store in Seattle, except one, and that one T liave no figures from, had a wonderful Increase jn business. Each store reported the largest business ever clone in ono month except; in holiday lime. " 'Women and Children Profit " ' "I wished to know in what class of goods the sales increased so greatly, so 1 sent tp all the grocery and drygoods stores to find that out'.' And to me it is a pitiful thing, and it makes me sorry that we did not have Prohibition long ago—that the increase in sales in all the drygoods stores was in wearing apparel of women and children, and in the grocery stores tho increase was made up chiefly of fruits and fancy groceries. This proves that it is the women and children who benefit greatest from Prohibition. Money that went formerly over the bar for whisky Is now being spent fo clothing for the women and children, and in better food for the household. " ' "It's just like this: When you close the saloons the money that formerly was spent there remains in the family of the wage-earner, and his wife and children buy shoes and clothing and better food with it. Yes, sir, we have found In Seattle that it is better to buy shoes than booze. The families of wage-earners Seattle are going have more food and clothes and everything else than they had before. " 'It Actually Prohibits ' "And Is the Prohibition law enforced?" ' "Absolutely, Prohibition docs prohibit." '"And how about the. empty saloons and the landlords who own them?" ' "Many of them have already been made over and are occupied hy other businesses. I will venture the prophecy that in one year from today you won't be able to find a place in Seattle where there was a saloon. They will all be occupied by other businesses, And Prohibition has not lowered rents except, in old saloon locations. I know of one big drygoods store that has al ready had Its rent raised since Pro bibition went into effect."' Six Months' Summary "Now for a direct, statement of what has happened to business In Seattle during the first six months of 1916, but always with the understanding that It is not asserted that Prohibition has been responsible for all the improve ment, but that it Is asserted that the had business conditions promised the people of the city and state by the wet advocates did not arrive. "Apparently without any important Increase of population to account for It, the drygoods bouses, small stores, haberdasheries, shoe stores, meat markets and groceries have heen doing a largely increased business. "In spite of the reluctance of many real estate dealers to discuss conditions, rentals have not gone down appreciably save In old saloon locations, where false values were maintained ns long as it was legal to sell liquor. On the other hand, many targe firms are paying higher rents. And it should be said In passing that there are two sides to the question as to whether lower rents would do Seattle anv harm. "Building permits have declined in amount as compared with the first six months of 1915. The difference Is $174.000—and this is the only item In the whole list which is unfavorable! "Bank clearings increased more than fifty-five millions. Bank deposits in general have increased. Savings accounts liave increased in numbers and totals. r, "Real estate tfa^sfers have increased and higher prices are being paid for property than In the first six months of last year. Collections Improve "Collections have wonderfully improved, being called bv certain authorities fifty per cent better than in 1915! "Suicides anrl murders have decreased one-half. This Item would not have been mentioned, but for the public assertion of liquor dealers that, crimes of violence were increasing in Seattle as the result of the sale of 'drug store' or 'blind pig' liquor. "Again and again the newspapers of Missouri, Montana and California have printed assertions that crime was much more prevalent in Seattlo under the dry law than previously. Let us look ot the figures: "Total arrests going to police blotter In first six months of 1915 10,152 "Drunks turned loose after sobering down, names not going to blotter, in same period .. 1,13(1 "Total arrests first six months fOlli, none being turned loose without name going to blotter, and including violations of liquor law, which should not properly be included in. comparison 11,888 i.4.44 'Total human beings kepi put of jail, apparently bv npfcr- ation of Prohibitum law.... 5,8.44 "Think of the sum total of human anguish being reduced in that amount! 1 confess that it makes mo ashamed of myself for ever having dared to argue that the saloons should not he disturbed. "Below will be found detailed accounts of various things of interest In connection with this subject. From observation and careful study of actual figures and facts, 1 advance these conclusions: Seattle Is better off without saloons. Prohibition as practised here may have its weak spots, but not one of them has made itself felt In business conditions, Thousands of women and children in Seattle have better clothes and food than they had a year ago. Perhaps Prohibition didn't bring this condition about, but certainly Prohibition can't be charged with making condition harder for women and children. 'Of course, it is my personal belief that tlie closing of the saloons has directly caused Ibis particular improvement. Prohibition is keeping thousands out of jail and Is saving human life. It is giving employers full gangs of efficient laborers on Monday mornings and reducing the accidents on con1- struction work of all lands to a minimum, ft has certainly improved collections Und helped the banks, even ufter noting all losses caused by financial dlsaster-to liquor dealers. We were wrong when we said Prohibition wouldi-Tuin Seattle and the State of Washington. And we are go ing to do everything we can to stop the campaign of misrepresentation and viltiflcation waged against the name and reputation of this city by the newspapers of other states."—Advt.

The legislation already passed for the encouragement of the three basic industries of agriculture, lumbering and mining and for the protection of workingmen and soldiers is a record of which any statesman might lie. proud. It will be bearing fruit long after Mr. Brewster and his writ and legal technicalities are forgotten. Mark your ballot in favor of a live, courageous and progressive administration. R.J. LONG.

Every time you purchase something "Made in Canada" you start a ripple of prosperity—reaching out in ever-widening circles, through shopkeeper, wholesaler, manufacturer, farmer, right back to yourself; for no matter what you yourself produce, what occupation you are engaged in, your individual prosperity is dependent on the general prosperity of the country—on keeping every Canadian busy. Dollars spent for Canadian-made goods help to do this; some of the dollars spent for Canadian-made goods are bound to come back to you—all of the dollars spent for imported goods are gone —are starting a ripple in someone else's pond.

CANADA TO ENLIST A NAVAL BRIGADE. '•There are a great many men in Canada who will welcome the opportunity to become part of the Canadian naval brigade that the Dominion government Is about to form for service on Imperial warships. The plan, as outlined 'by Hon. J. D. Hazen, minister of marine, Is that Canada should recruit, equip and pay a body of men who would go forward to serve in the British navy. ^Canada was prevented by the Liberal party in 1912 from contributing three battle cruisers to the imperial navy and since the war began it has had little part in the naval defense of tb.e Empire. Unlike Australia, New Zealand and the Malay States it has had K no battle cruisers to which it could point with pride as strengthening Admiral Jelllcoe's battlo. fleet. But It can send men. I tip to this time Great Britain has had so many volunteers for naval work that none from overseas were required. Now it is able to accept a force from Canada. Thevmen of the Dominion will not be slow to respond lu the call. SACRIFICE PUBLIC INTEREST TO HIT AT OPPONENT. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Macdonald said, it would tie up Mr. Bowser and the Liberal leader was receiving the approval of the people for his courageous course." This Is an extract from a report in the''Vancouver Sun of a speech on the Brewster writ delivered Saturday by M. A. Macdonald in Vancouver, .... The writ would tie up Mr. Bowser— that in the opinion of the Liberal leaders eoint*letaly justifies It. What does it matter to them if the writ creates a condition of uncertainty? What does It matter to them if it makes outside investors susplcious*J(| and those advancing from tbe north What does it matter to them if it should stop public undertakings and delay and possibly destroy the workmens compensation act and block distribution of loans under the farm credits bill, shipbuilding and operation of measures to aid mining? The writ appeared as if it might embarrass Mr. Bowser. That to the Liberal leaders was quite sufficient justification. But it is not sufficient justification for the people of a province whose prosperity depends on development of resources and industries. VICTORIES ARE BRINGING END INTO SIGHT. While no student of the war is likely to underestimate the magnitude of the struggle that the entente allies are engaged in, the events of toe past three months clearly -bring the end In sight. Rumania knew that when she decided to enter the war. Not taking any chances, she waited for two years to pick the winner. Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey arc pressed almost to tne breaking point. With the possible ex ception of Turkey none of the Teutonic allies has a safe maogln f men to defend its lines. Hungary already knows that it is beaten and Its people are eager for a separate peace which they are not likely to get. Tottering Austria is being sustained by German soldiers, German money and German government. Bulgaria is caught between two fires. 'The entente drive, that is now In full swing against practically every sector of the circle of Tcutonlc-Bul- gar-Turkish defenses, is dally gaining in* vigor and momentum. As it progresses the growing weakness of the e'hemy Is shown in the' larger area" of ground and the greater number of prisoners captured. On the one side the rot is beginning to set In;'on the other the victory-winning potentialities of the attacking forces are becoming stronger. Ledger, which was the official organ of the United Mineworkers of America, When the Bowser act was first proposed, have all' been adopted In the measure now before the people. The Ledger suggested a ?5 minimum, pro- Vision for medical assistance, provision for hospital charges and the inclusion of non-resident dependents In the act. All these features are embodied In the Bowser act. THOMAS UPHILL WILL SERVE FERNIE FAITHFULLY. Thomas Uphill, the Conservative candidate in Fernie, is a hardheaded man of the people who has proved his worth both as a labor man and as mayor of the city. He was elected mayor in 1915 and gave such general satisfaction that he was elected by acclamation last January. While he Is supporting the Conservative party he is a man of independent spirit who can be depended upon to stand firmly by what he believes to be right and to do good work for the Fernie district. As a labor man he has exceptional qualifications to represent a constituency in which working men form such a strong element In the community. In him the coal miners, the employes of the lumber companies, farmers and the people of the district as a whole will find a fair-minded and able exponent of measures to advance their welfare. Carry on. King Constantlne seems to have slid back on the throne of Greece. The Conservative government stands for progress. Don't let tho pluggerbund get in any of its fine work a week from today. The Intervention of Rumania added 350 miles to the Teutonic allies' already dangerously extended lines'. After three months of campaigning the public has yet to hear from the Liberal leaders a single definite policy to improve business conditions, stimulate Industry or increase payrolls, Every false charge the opposition brings against Premier Bowser only serves to.strengthen the prime minister In the minds of the people. Vernon Castle, the .tango dancer, it- reported to have beon killed at the front. His name is Letter known in the United States than that of any British general of division. An interesting race to Constantinople between the Russians advancing from the east through the Caucasus through Bulgaria is In progress. J. W. Weart, one of the Liberal can dldates in greater Vancouver, who is said to be sure of a cabinet position if the Liberals should gain control of the government, has gone on record believing that the mining industry should be taxed at least five times as heavily as at present. That would be a fine way to stimulate the industry and cause it to employ more men, wouldn't It? The Liberal speakers say that John L. Sullivan took Carroll's gang of pluggers to his hotel in Vancouver. That is perfectly true. And that was the only gang the Liberals brought over from Seattle that did not vote. These men were proved by their own evidence and that of independent witnesses to have been frightened by Sullivan into refraining from carrying out their part of the conspiracy. They hurried back to Seattle on the next train. WORKERS LUCKY THEY DID NOT ■ GET LIBERAL ACT. The workers of British Columbia have, reason to feel fortunate in the fact that the Bowser workmens compensation act was not "stolen," as the Liberals claim, from the Liberal platform. The only act -the Liberals ever proposed pretended to provide for "compensation without litigation." But iudid not. It contained a "joker" that enabled anyone to fight in the courts any award of the„compensation board. 'in connection with the Bowser act it Is of interest to note that sugges. ]lon.s'hindo by the late Fernie District W. J. Black, the new.Dominion commissioner of ugriculture, will no doubt find the Bowser government anxious to cooperate with the proposal that the Dominion and the provinces should Join together in a comprehensive scheme of land settlement. The problem of preventing speculation In farm lands and of building up community settlements is one.tbai confronts every province In Canada. In British Columbia the government already has under way a policy to solve these problems. Its policy will work In well with Mr. Black's proposals. ' . M. A. Macdonald says that his proposal to submit the question of the expiry of parliament to the supreme court would havo made the Brewster writ unnecessary. From tbe Liberal point of view, Mr. Macdonald's proposal, if adopted, .would have settled matters effectively enough. It would have caused the house to dissolve, if the Liberal technicality were well founded, before the government had passed the workmens compensation act or any other measure in its program. The Macdonald proposal was made a few minutes before midnight on March 14, the hour at which the Liberals claimed the legislative term came to an end. No judge could possibly have given a decision in the time remaining, r. "BLIGHTY AGAIN." I believe you all know the "Home Fires" chorus. Part of It runs like this: "Keep the home fires burning Though your hearts are yearning, Though the lads are far away They dream of home." Home—In this potent last word you have the meaning of "Blighty." And, as used by Thomas Atkins, gentleman, today home is England. In the days before the war I do not think the word had ever been coined, or if so, seldom used. There have been days before the war, you know, although the intervening space has seemed In the Empire's history like a night watch protracted to a thousand years, and pre-war existence seems to most of us like the submerged city of Breton fable, whose church bells are heard sounding on quiet evenings over miles of sea. Columns have been given in" the newspapers of England to the origin and deriviatlon of "Blighty," and thoso dear retired peppery old colonels and civilian officials who have for so many years served their king and country "east o' Suez" have hurled themselves into the fray of wordy warfare; have hastened to the writing tables in the sanctity of their luxurious clubs and each has assured a wondering word that his explanation Is the correct one, andall osiers are "taboo." In any event, the word is going into the language rapidly, and thus into literature, and cannot be kept for soldiers only though we grudge them nothing. A slangy word, you say. Oh, yes! but slang has enriched our mother tongue for centuries, so "Blighty" la a new word in its baby stage, and we may train It in the way it should go. There is little doubt that our soldiers have got the word from India, or from soldiers who have served in yon "coral strand." The Englishman in India calls England "Bilat," and he also calls England home. As to the spelling, it varies, like the spelling of all Indian words „ and names. In Calcutta it is spelt "Belattco'' (we are getting nearer to It my friends). Elsewhere in that mystic land the pronunciation is "Bi- layati" (we are getting hot). In India, \s Kipling says, W. Thomas Atkins prides himself on being a profound Orientalist and scholar—although us a matter of fact, he depends largely on the sign language, and the rattle of silver coins—and Thomas makes 'Blighty" of the heathen word. (Here we are at last). And so, What though the east be calling yet, From Khiva to My pore; Down from the highlands of grey Thibet To the Straits of Singapore; What though the maid ncath the temple's shade Sings softly her sweetest lay— They have no care for anything there who crave' Jjut to sec how their kinsfolk tare In "Blighty." To the soldier therforc in our eastern empire, "Blighty" stands for the white chalk cliffs, rolling downs, green fields and russet woods, and "all that In them is." To the soldier in active service, be it in Flanders or France, Saloniki or Egypt, on the burning Tigris plains, or in malalrlal forests of Central Africa, "Blighty Junction" is ever the clearing station for home.

With the loss of Doual, Cambrai, and St. Quentin they must give up Champagne. There are no such key positions at Verdun. The operations at Verdun are local In effect. Those o nthe Somme are general, far-reaching. At Verdun, in over five months, the Germans '-Wave occupied 120 square miles of territory, pierced a twelve- mile front to a depth of five miles, and have captured two of the nineteen permanent, positions of the enemy. To do this they have lost 500,000 men. They have attained none of their objectives. In seven weeks on the Somme the allies have .occupied seventy square miles bf territory, pierced a twenty- six-mile front to a depth of eight miles, and threaten the most vital bases on the western front. They have done this with a. smaller loss of men, for there is no comparison between the preparatory artillery assault on Verdun and that on the Somme—no comparison between the killing capacity of their respective defenses. The offensive at Verdun has long since reached its maximum, and the side door to Metz across the Woevro ♦I WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING.} **********•********••*••* "In every airship that throws bombs on London, England shall remember the Barolong case."—Berlin despatch. / And the zpppelfn motto is, "Women and children.first!"—Chicago Tribune, VERDUN AND THE SOMME After seven weeks of Verdun France said: "They shall not pass." The phrase became a symbol, a creed. They did not pass. But certain war critics doubted. They had been told in Paris that Verdun was of no military value to the French, whose army would have surrendered if it had not been for the politicians' fear of the anger of the people. It took a secret session of the- senate to lay that phantom. Now another has materialized. After seven weeks Germany is saying of the Somme: "They shall not pass." And the same war critics, having finally accepted the French creed, are ready to accept the German. With the campaigns of Napoleon and Grant for a background, they paint the Somme as a .replica of Verdun and say: "Behold bow like!" In reality no such resemblance exists except as the strategy of defense and attack identified with one place resembles that of another. So it has been since the days of Joshua. But in the tactical problems to be seolved, In which they appear to find so much in common, there Is no resemblance1 whatever, rather a series of vivid contrasts, "Verdun, when the high-angle fire of the great German howitzers had scrapped the steel cupolas and concrete counterscarps at Liege, Namur, and Antwerp, became transformed. General Sarrall reconstructed the works devised and built by General de Riviere and made them to conform to the tactical developments of the day. He did something more. He turned the terrain into the greatest military trap in history, with a killing capacity of 750,000 men. After a year the Germans entered the trap and the trap was sprung. So far the trap has worked well. The capture of only two of the nineteen permanent positions has cost the Germans 200,000 men. But why Verdun? Due east across the plain of the Woevre lies Metz. Verdun opens the side door to Metz. The front door Is opened down the Moselle from Pont-a-Mousson, where behind the cliffs great French guns have slumbered for eighteen months, with the twenty-five German forts In the ■bowl of the Moselle in full view when they shall awake. This is the military reason for the attack on Verdun and for Its stubborn defense. Yet, the Germans had two others—the attack would force the enemy1 to use up his accumulations of men and munitions and so make his offensive elsewhere Impossible and, with Verdun captured, the German line in Champagne could he fed direct from Metz nnd thus relieve the depots at Cambrai and St. Quentin on the menaced front to the west, They had non-military motives, too—eeonomio! sentimental, and, perhaps; ntpbtifltlc' '"' There Is nothing of all this on the Somme.

Mr. Brewster comes back from his eastern tour with the childish statement that the government has not a single safe seat. Boasting like this is crude. It discredits everything else that Mr. Brewster says and shows that his other sayings are not to be taken seriously. We do not remember whether Mr. Brewster allowed the government any contested seats four years ago. But he made large and reckless claims. As a matter of fact,' his party did not take a single seat. The Con servatives had not boasted that they would defeat every Liberal In the province. They did not expeqt to do it. They do not expect to do it this year. Mt. Bowser could, wfth far better reason than Mr, Brewster, claim every seat. But he and his friends are not going about with preposterous boasts, any more than they did four years ago. They now expect, as they expected four years ago, the endorsement of the electors, and .they are willing to wait for the event before proclaiming the majority. Mean while Mr. Brewster can go on claiming everything until election day shall determine how much better he shall fare than he did in 1!) 12.—Vancouver News- Advertiser.

C., Sept. 6.—The school house here last night was crowded to the doors with an audience which had gathered to hear J. Hi Schofield, candidate of the Conservative party for the riding, of Trail, and R. C. Crowe and Harry Wright of Trail, who accompanied him. George D. Bell was in the chair and introduced the first speaker, R. C. Crowe. Mr. Crowe received an attentive hearing as he outlined the progressive business policy and legislative program of the Conservative party in British Columbia under the able leadership of Premier W. J. Bowser. The premier, he said, was determined and able to follow up the road and railway building policy of tho last few years.' Schofield Gets Ovation. Mr. Schofield received a great ovation as he arose to address the electors and throughout the whole of an ablfl speech he carried his audience with him and was frequently interrupted by applause. He dwelt at length on the business of the last session in which he had represented the riding, spending in the house and the committees every possible hour of his time in the Interest of his district. He said he. had been present at every session of the plugging inquiry and was able to tell the electors that he had heard the most convincing evidence from officials of the Liberal association of British Columbia which without a shadow of a doubt proved tlie Liberals to be guilty of the greatest plot ever attempted in Canada to stuff ablot boxes with ballots cast for M. A. Macdonald, one of the Liberal leaders. In contrast with this guilt of the Liberal party be showed where in three months of investigation with every possible help fro mthe government itself the opposition had been unable to find a single dollar of public money misspent by the government, nor were they able to prove any of the many charges which they had made against the government, and yet they continued to come before the electorate of Birtish Columbia and make the same charges without evidence to prove them. Mr. Schofield closed with an appeal for the support of tho electors of Salmo. Wright Speaks Briefly. Harry Wright was heard briefly in a fighting speech which has not been equalled in the present campaign and which was greatly enjoyed by the audience. He. said he was working for Mr. Scbofield's candidature because he knew him to be as lionest a man as ever entered the portals of a parliament building and becau.se Schofield knew every foot of tho riding and its every need. He was sure tlie people of Salmo would very greatly add to Mr. Scbofield's majority on election day. After tbe singing of the national anthem a member of the audience proposed three cheers for Mr. Schofield, which were heartily given. Mr. Schofield will speak at Robson Thursday night.

VICTORIA, Sept. -3. — Employees throughout the province, to the number of about 10,000, will, in a day or two be In receipt of the first official communication from the government relative to the submission of data re< quired under the provisions of the Workmens Compensation act, the measure passed at the last session of* the legislature and declared to be the finest piece of legislation of Its kind in existence. Frank W. Hinsdale, who has been engaged by the provincial government to inaugurate the system *n this province, has been busy for the past three weeks arranging for the work. His long experience in similar work in Ontario, Nova Scotia and in tlie states of Washington and Oregon, in all of which he was engaged to inaugurate the nets passed there, has proved a boon here. Labor men of Manitoba have asked that he lie employed to Inaugurate the now act in that province. The operation of the terms of the Workmens Compensation act necessitated a complete system of forms, methods of accounting, etc., as well as the classification of the various classes of employment, the striking of the rate to be assessed upon each class, etc. A tremendous amount of preliminary work is thus necessitated and Mr. Hinsdnle's experience is proving Invaluable. The provisions of the act become effective on October 1 next, so far as tiie returns to be made by employers are concerned, but the act, as it affects the payment of compensation to injured workmen, does not become effective until next year. Forms prepared by Mr. Hinsdale have been printed and issued to employers. Every effort has been made to secure the names of all employers who are affected by tlie terms of the act. If any do not receive the forms, etc., they are requested to apply to the department. Mr. Hinsdale, who states that the British Columbia act, besides containing every feature of those acts already In operation elsewhere, also contains some most important features, which make it a decided advance upon that other legislation, notably the provisions for medical aid to injured workmen, outlined some of the salient features from the standpoint of classification of employments and method of levying assessments. Much Preliminary Work. The extent of the work involved in preparing for the administration of the Workmens Compensation act Is not apparent at first thought. The provisions of the act, which will become effective on October 1 next, are those relating to employers in the industries to which the act will apply, and to tbe requirement upon them to send estimates to the board of the probable amount of their respective payrolls for the whole of the first year of the operation of the act. These estimates under the requirement Of the act must be received on or before October l ot this year. The aci, as a Whole, however, and as regards payment of compensation to injured workmen, will not come into force until the first day of January next. But upon that day the entire equipment and information necessary lor tlie efficient administration of the act must lie in complete readiness, and the board which is to administer the act must be fully prepared to take over the large business which will Immediately require its attention. Most new organizations have their period of growth from comparatively small beginnings, and the equipment l' material and knowledge increase!; witli the gradual development of the business; but on tho day when tho Workmens Compensation act comes in force the whole machinery for the administration of the act must hv moving and ready to take over, on the wing, as it were, a very considerable business, the operation of which may lie likened to that of a series of large mutual insurance companies which arc to pay compensation lor Injuries to the workmen of over 10,000 separate employers throughout the province. Tiie mere enumeration of the names nnd addresses of these empoyers, with notes showing the nature ami classification of their industries, or of the branch or departments of their business which would be within tlie scope of tin. act, is a work of considerable} magnitude, In the listing of tlie names of employers in the various industries, \er\ many sources of information were utilized and much valuable information was promptly and courteously supplied from the records of a number of the governmental departments. Forms for report and estimate of employers' payroll have already been prepared and are being addressed to employers throughout tlie province who nre engaged in Industries affected by tho act, and in order that tbe work of classification and other work Incidental to preparing for lhe administration of the act may proceed promptly, it is hoped that employers generally will fill in and return the reports as early as possible without wailing for October 1st, which is the day named in the act as the date by which tlie reports are required to be made. As the different forms of Industry nre attended by varying degrees of hazard, and as several separate classes of industry are provided for In the act, it is important for each employer to see that either liis whole industry is Correctly designated in the report, or to make separate reports for each distinct and separate depart ment of bis industry. Additional forms for the purpose will be supplied upon request, and if full information js given upon tlie report as to the nature nf the industry, the work uf proper classification will be much facilitated. Method of Grouping. It is doubtless well understood that under the provisions of tlie act the various kinds of industry in manufacture and work of construction and other Industries to which the act will apply are grouped into a number of separate classes, the division having reference either to tlie general similarity of the work or to tlie comparative equality of the hazard incident to' the, industry. The whole body of employers In any one class are responsible for the compensation payable under the act on account of only such ncci- Luxurious Furs But a Luxury Everyone Can Indulge in at Our Low Prices.

C, Sept. fl.—"Why should we, as Conservatives, place detectives in the Conservative committee rooms, print 5000 plugger cards, and spend money in bringing pluggers by the score from Seattle—all in order to defeat bur own candidate, my minister of public works?" With all their arguments to relieve themselves of the responsibility for the byelection plugging II. C. Brewster and M. A. Macdonald have never yet even attempted to answer this question of the premier's. Flying in the face of the evidence before the committee of Inquiry at Victoria, and the report of the committee to the house, these two leaders of the Liberal party have been going around the country building up a wonderful story about the plugging, During the first of his tours through the province Premier Bowser made no reference whatever to the manner" in which the byelection was won, and he was able to deal exclusively with the real issues of the campaign. But with the memories of tho effect of unanswered charges by the sit me two gentlemen before the Vancouver byelecllon, he has been compelled to defend himself by referring to the testimony placing the blame for tbe Impersonation where it belonged, lie did tliis at his first Vancouver meeting iu the Empress theatre on Friday evening, and tlie applause which greeted his remarks told which way the wind of public opinion was blowing. "They have charged that I was responsible for tlie plugging," declared the premier. "1 have a right lo make my own defense." From Edmonton School John T. Scott bad come to the provincial Liberal organization committee from Edmonton, tbe premier explained, and he knew of no more nefarious training school to come from than that at Edmonton. Scott bad been Installed in Vancouver, and the other Liberals, including Ash worth Anderson, had wanted to know what he was doing there. They had been unable to find out. Mr. Macdonald had admitted on oath having been chairman of the committee which engaged and paid Scott, and it had been Seott, the man engaged and paid by Mr. Macdonald, who had prepared the crooked list of 309 names of absentees and dead men, and banded it to Ashworth Anderson, chairman of the scrutineers' committee. Written across the top of this list in red ink were tlie words "Not to Be Challenged." The names were to be voted on election day between the hours of 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock. The premier paid a tribute to Mr. Anderson for refusing lo have anything to do with this list. After the election, the suspicions of what he might term the Ralph Smith wing of the Liberal party had been raised and ihe prosecution of Peter Annanee had followed. The decent wing of the Liberal party had wanted an investigation, but Mr. Macdonald had fought against it. Trail Leads to Seattle After tho session the house commenced, another trail had been found, and it had led, not to tlie waterfront of Vancouver, but to the Seattle waterfront. Then hod followed the legislntive investigation. Scott had been hustled out of (he country to the land of the free across the line, and Pearce, his chief assistant, had stated on oath that Mr. Macdonald had paid him $".0 to havo him spirited out of the country by automobile, al though, to be fair to Macdonald, the latter had denied this, although not mder oath. "And still Mr. Macdonald says he wants to get at the higher-ups. Is there anyone here who thinks that Bowser money was behind Scott to defeat my own minister of public works?" Yes, one here in the gallery," shouted a doubter. "Well, you look as intelligent as the ordinary man who thinks that way," retorted .Mr. Bowser amid laughter. The legislative Investigation had disclosed one of the most nefarious plugging schemes ever attempted in Canada, planned to rob the Vancouver elector of his franchise. The evidence showed also that many of the absentee soldiers had been voted hi their absence. As" the investigation had gone it had been proved that it was John T. Scott who had perpetrated this offense. Increase in Vote In the general elections of i'912 Vancouver hacLbeen able to poll only 10,000 votes, and notwithstanding the fact that the city had been partially depleted 6f its population, and notwithstanding the fact that there was always more Interest taken in a general election than in a byelection, there had heen 15,000 votes polled in the byelection. In the general contest Mr. Tisdall had received a vote of some fiOOO, and had been elected by a majority of 400; in the byelection he had received 400 more votes than in the general election, but had heen defeated by -1000 votes. Pearce had testified before the Inquiry at Victoria that Scott had had 5000 plugger cards issued—the number of the increased votes In the byelection. These cards, according to sworn testimony, had been distributed to pluggers who voted for Macdonald under the names on the cards, names of absentee voters or dead men, "And now Mr. Macdonald says he was trying hard to reach Hie higher ups," repeated the premier, with a smile, "tie's Insinuating that I was behind Scott; that it was my money that financed lhe election frauds', Yukon methods had never been appreciated among the Conservatives of Vancouver us they had been in the north." Conservatives Were Honest Then the premier turned to the evidence of tlie manager of the Thlel Detective ugency, which had been hired by Scott under a contract endorsed by Macdonald, to place men in the Conservative committee room, The detective had brought back reports showing that the Conservatives had not had any thought of plugging men to victory. The Liberals had not placed detectives for the purpose of seeing whether the Conservatives proposed to carry out impersonation, but to see whether lhe Conservatives were on lo the Liberal plans. Scott Was Available "If Mr. Macdonald or Air. Brewster wanted to get at' tin - higher-ups, they could have placed Scott in the witness box ' at the Victoria investigation, when there was no warrant for his arrest' and when immunity was extended to him. "They had him there in their room in the bouse 15 feet from the room where the investigation was being carried^on. Why didn't they put him on the stand? Now tncy ask immunity for him. I am not here to make deals with the Liberals, so that they can wash their dirty linen. When the paper made the exposure about the Vancouver; plugging at Easter, what did Mr. Macdonald do? Instead of spending hia holidays in Vancouver he went lo Seattle, where Scott is, and thither went Mr. Farris, of Revelstoke, a brother of Mr. deB. Far- l'I's, the Liberal candidate in Vancouver. Mr. Macdonald returned to British Columbia about lhe time Gosden claims he received the $50 from him. I cannot bring .Scott back here, but If he comes he will lie prosecuted, the same as Annanee was, and if Scott has nothing to fear, why does he not come back? Why does not Mr. Macdonald get an affidavit from him in Seattle, if he wants to get at the higher-ups? "if Scott enmes back here now he will face ii charge of bigamy and a charge of making it false affidavit, if his contention that he is an American citizen Is true. For he made an application prior to the byelection to have his name placed on the voters' list. Do you think, even If the warrant was withdrawn, that he'd come back in the face of these two charges?" Telephone Communication Toward lhe end of tho Investigation in Victoria, there had been long-distance telephone calls between Seattle and Victoria, nn "May ]7P c. B. Patterson, secretary of the Vancouver Liberal association, of which tho Ralph Smith wing was trying to get rid, had telephoned to Scott, of Seattle, and the following day he had repeated tbe ,cnll. On May IS, Scott, of Seattle, bad telephoned to Macdonald, of Victoria; the next day Patterson had called Scott up once more. On May 22, Macdonald, of Victoria, had called up Scott at Seattle, and the next day he had telephoned Patterson, who had gone to Tacoma to see Scott. On Victoria day Macdonald had again telephoned Scott, of Seattle, and Pat terson, having returned to Victoria, had called up Jerry L. Finch, of Seattle. What right had Macdonald and Patterson to be so familiar with the Bowser employee that they should talk over the long-distance telephone with him at Seattle? And who was Jerry L. Finch? Finch was a notorious Seattle attorney, who had defended Macdonald at Victoria during the investigation at the capital. Macdonald had gone to the waterfront of Seattle to secure advice, although there were plenty of lawyers in British Columbia who could have assisted him. And when the Ralph Smith wing of the Liberal party was trying to get Scott deported from Seattle he had defended Scott. Yet they were trying to tell the people that it had been Bowser money^ behind Scott. It was too improbable for any decent citizen to give any credence to. A Plugging Card In conclusion the premier read a facsimile of the 5000 plugger cards distributed through Scott's office: "Name (printed) Thomes Beanland (written in ink). You are registered as (printed) teamster (written in ink). Your registered address Is 027 Broadway 13. You should vote in Ward V. Your number is 249."

The other side was in the form of a simple ballot, containing the names of Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Tisdall. "Mark your ballot thus," advised a note along one side, and a cross was placed opposite the name of Mr. Macdonald.

(3772) iADIANS GIVEN 0 YPRES Receive Letter Captured by French Troops Who Wero Present at Historic Fight (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 6.—An echo of the Ypres salient comes to tho Canadians, now near the Somme, from the famous French iron division, which held the Canadian left when the Canadians first went into the salient, but who were relieved the day before tho gas attack by the colonial troops and have just been in terrific fighting, which ended in a considerable gain on the right of the Somme po.sltion. Coming back to a well-earned rest, they heard the Canadians were somewhere near and the French officer looked them up, bringing them a letter they had captured from an officer of the 125th Prussian battalion. Ho evidently never had a chance of mailing it and avoiding the German censorship. It described tlie terrific attack which resulted in tho recapture by the Canadians of the last great crater on Hill CO early in August. He suys: "Half our regiment was wiped out by the frightful artillery fire. We thought we could never remain, then still heavier guns concentrated on our makeshift trenches. .We were getting ready to retreat when suddenly the Canadians sprang out of the ground at our feet. They were devilish, possessed with a mad spirit and knew no fear. They bombed the few of our men who stood their ground, then bayoneted, many others ns they fled through the barrage of the Britisli artillery. "So utterly demoralized were some of our men who came through that they refused to murch when we wero ordered to our new positions, which we knew would be on the Somme." Tho bringing of the letter by their French comrades was a delicate compliment that is appreciated by a certain Montreal regiment, which was holding the position just before Langemarck and which also happened to make the particular attack described in the prisoner's missive.

D. llazen, referring to Canadian fisheries, said that the fisheries of Great Britain have been reduced to less than one-third of their pre-far production. Tlie fisheries ot France have suffered to a gresit extent, but the industry of neutral nations has been greatly stimulated, the fishermen receiving unheard of prices for their catches.

Ferdinand, tin; king of Rumania, who succeeded to tbe throne in October, 11)14, was 51 years old Aug. 24, having been born on Aug. 24, 1801. He is the nephew of the late King Charles, tbe German prince who was elected to the Rumanian throne just half a century ago soon after the union of the Don- iihiau principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia under tlie name uf Rumania. Prince Charles was a scion of the bouse of Uohenzullern-Sigmariiigen, and his rule was subject to Turkish suzerainty until 1881, when lie was proclaimed king. Russia aided Rumania in throwing off the Turkish yoke, but the czar, annexed to ills dominions the province of Bessarabia, in which there are more than a million Rumanians. Austria also took possession of a large territory principally inhabited by Rumanians; To unite these lost provinces under tlie .Rumanian flag is tlie dream of every patriotic subject of King Ferdinand. As a German and a Hohenzollern, it is believed that King Ferdinand Is in sympathy with the central empires, but this sentiment, if it exists, is by no means shared by the masses of ills people. The Rumanians have a great sentimental attachment for France, and are disciples of French culture, manners and literature. To fight against France is to them unthinkable, and the monarch Who sought to force them to do so would probably have a brief reign. King Ferdinand married in ]SS3 Princess Marie of Suxe-Cobourg and Gotba, and they have six children. Their first born, prince Charles, the heir lo the throne, is now In his 23rd year. The king's reputed sympathy for the German cause certainly finds no support from Queen Marie, who is intensely English in her ways, She is the daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, son of Queen Victoria, who succeeded to tho Teuton throne of Sa.se- Cobourg and Gotha. Queen Marie was reared almost entirely in England, and still entertains a deep affection for the "tight little island." She is one of tlie most beautiful of the royal women, and a talented writer as well. During tlie cholera epidemic which followed the first Balkan war she spent several months in tiie uniform of a nurse, ministering to the sick.

Ottawa nnd Montreal." Dr. Hartin stated that he was greatly impressed by the busy conditions throughout Ontario, where he said almost every available factory and machine shop was being devoted to the production of munitions of war. Towns and cities that had for years been regarded as suffering from business stagnation, be said, were humming with activity. Labor is at a high premium and those who are employed in the many munition factories, he declared, were receiving higher wages than ever before. In the large cities as well, said the doctor, the war time activity was lo' be noted on every band. Tn Montreal the great factories, hitherto devoted to the manufacture nf bridges, structural steel, harvesting implements and other industries were turning out thousands upon thousands of shells a clay. One large department stnre In Montreal, lie said, that operated d small workshop for the building of motor boats, had taken up the manufacture of aeroplane frames, while a well known automobile factory was constructing' motors for flying craft. During bis return trip from the st, Dr. Hartin stated that he has bad ample opportunity of inspecting crop conditions. Tn Manitoba, he said, the wheat and oats bad all been cut and threshing operations were well under way. Tn the majority of cases, he stated, the farmers had sown a, smaller acreage than last year, but he had been informed that the crops would be of a much higher grade than last year. The Alberto crop is later than further east, but. he said, If the weather holds fair, the farmers expect a particularly fine crop. In eastern Ontario, he stated, the hoy crop was exceptionally large. ;: Social and Personal j G. S. McCreery of Cranbrook is a guest at the Hume. .T.

Samples of Ores to Be Displayed After Fair in Hume Rotunda—Prominent Mining Men to Visit City Prespectors and mine owners throughout the district are being urged by the committee in charge of tho mining exhibit for tlie Nelson fall fair, Sept. 27 and 28, to send in samples of their ores, at the expense of the association for exhibition purposes. Arrangements have been made with (George Benwell, proprietor of the Hume, for the removal of tlie display of ores to the rotunda of the botel after the closo of the exhibition, where it will be publicly shown. It is pointed out by the committee that in view of the visit of the members of the Spokane Mining Men's club and the Columbia section of the American Institute of Mining Engineers to the city during the latter part of September and tlie first of October, exceptional opportunities will be offered for bringing the mineral wealth of the district and particularly the class of ores being mined and developed in the country, to the notice of men who aro powers in the world of mining finance. ln addition to the opportunity for giving publicity to the various mines and prospects in the district offered by this exhibition, prizes are being offered by the fair association for the best specimens sent in, the freight charges on which will be borne by the association. It is therefore hoped by tnoiie who have this department of the fair in charge that the prospectors and mine owners throughout the district will cooperate with them by sending in the finest samples possible.

I The German military power is engaged indirectly in a struggle against the united public opinion of the rest of the world, and directly with the arms of France, Belgium, England, Russia and Italy, to stop with principals. In Its desperation It throws off, one after another, the established laws of human intercourse because of their restraint. Tho naked German soul and purpose Is gradually perceived to be fighting against the armies of civilization.
