OF O.S. ON U-BOATS DISCUSSED Question Raised Whether American Warships Get Out of Way for Operations of Submarine (Ry Daily News Leased Wire.) 1/3NDON, Oct. 18.—In reply to a question concerning the attitude of tho United StatcB toward British patrols, Viscount Grey said that the IJnited States admitted that British ships were not exceeding their legal rights under international law, but that the American government complained of their presence on the ground of irritation which the continued presence of belligerent Warships'off the coast of the United Stales naturally caused a neutral •country. Ho declared that tho United States had requested Great Britain emphatically not to patrol off its coast and said that instructions were sent to the British ships there to avoid causing any unnecessary irritation and to comply as far as pos- slhle with the American request. "With regard to the UG3." said the secretary, "we do not know what steps were taken by the United States for patrollng its waters, or in regard to Its coming Into port and securing information from newspapers. We do not know whether it is truo that American warships got out of the submarine's way. That ls a matter for th-** American government only nnd we assume that that government is making full inquiries. We also assume it will announce Us attitude in due course. Pending that we do not propose to make any official representation on the subject of the submarine." Criticizes Reply The question concerning the submarine raid in American waters wns raised by Baron Beresford, Earl Orey nnd others. Baron Beresford asked whether British cruisers were removed from American waters owing to the American objections and, If ao, what steps thc government proposed for the protection of British vessels. He criticized the submarine reply as at ifcnst curt, and said the Amorican ideas of neutrality were curious, Earl Orey wanted assurance that tlie report was untrue that American commanders of destroyers had acceded to the request of the German submarine commander to clear out of the way and give him room to blow up ships. After giving at some length what lie described as, in bis own opinion, "a,fair summary of what lias passed between the United States government and ourselves, and what wc know of their views," Viscount Grey continued; "It amounts to this: That tho American government did request us very emphatically not to patrol near their coast and that instructions were sent to British ships of war to avoid causing any unnecessary irritation and so far as possible to comply with the request of the United States, This disposes of what has passed so far us we are concerned. "When we como to what has passed with regard to German submarines we do not know and I cannot answer the question as to what the attitude of tlie United Slates worships toward tlie German submarines on tho spot was. Wo know that they saved life. Thoy rescued the crews after the ships were sunk and did everything thoy eould lo prevent loss of life afterward.' Raises Question "Tlio questions usked mo arc: 'What did they do before any vessel was --.link, and is it true that a German submarine Qpmmandor request- ed tho American vessels to clear out of the way in order that the operation of sinking the defenseless merchant ships should be facilitated, nnd did the American vessels of war In fact comply with that request and so facilitate tho sinking of vessels?' "Thnt wo know nothing more than what has appeared In the press. We havo no means of finding out what actually occurred unless some of the refugees from tlie vessels themselves are aide to givo an account of tho matter. But I assume that the only peoplo who can give an account of It are tho officers of tho German submarine and tlie officers of tho American navy, who were present ou tho (Continued on Page Four.) Entente's Drastic Action Provokes RoyaKstfl BLUEJACKETS WITH MACH Nt GUNS READY Dufournet Sends New Note of Grave Character -Situation Tense (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Oct. 17.~Follo-flWhg the occupation of AthcnB and Pirfteus by marines from tlie warships of the entente powers, a tenso situation has arisen In Athens. Great crowds of royalists have paraded thc streets of the Greek capital, cheering the king and cordons- of Greek troops and marines have been thrown about thc railway stations, city boll and other points occupied by tho entente forces to prevent clashes between them and thc royalists. King Constantino in a speech to thn officers of his fleet told them ho would, stand by them, no matter what tho consequences might be for their loyalty to Greoco. New Demands Drastic, Vice Admiral Dufournet, commander of the A tig to-French fleet In the Mediterranean, has handed the Greek government a new note of an extremely grave character, says a despatch to tho Exchange Telegraph from Athens, dated yesterday. Following the presentation of the note King Constantino, it is added, came to the capital In haste from thc royal residence at Tataot. The railway stations of Athens ami Piraeus, the city hall at the capital and the Cnstllla barracks, have been occupied by French and Italian sailors to the number of 1000, while 150 'bluejackets with two machine guns hav« been stationed in tho municipal theatro according to a Reuter despatch from Athens today. Situation Dangerous. "Thc situation appears to bc dangerous. There have been royalist demonstrations in tlie streets. Admiral Dufournet, commander of the allied fleet in the Mediterranean, was hissed and a detachment of French sailors was driven back by a hostile crowd. "A procession of 4000 midcontents. headed by thc Greek and American flags, stopped outsldo the United States legation, protested ngainst tho landing of foreign marines and demanded the protection of the United States minister, who was absent. 'The demonstrators then paraded tlie streets, singing thc Greek national anthem.'' To Prevent Demonstrations, ATHENS, Oct. 16.—Delayed.—Tho British legation explains that the landing of marines at Athens and Piraeus wns merely intended to reinforce tbo police. It is generally thought, however, that tills action was taken to prevent demonstrations like those of this (Monday) mornng.

BRITISH ADVANCING OVER SHELL-TORN WILDERNESS (By Daily News Leasod Wlro) LONDON. Oct, 17.—Writing four days ago from tho front, a Canadian artlllory officer snys; "The soverlty of the fighting around here, which continues from day to day, is almost past all imagination, Every new stretch of ground over which we udvunee is a wilderness; there is not one inch of ground not torn up; there Is not one brick left on another in any village.

When the infantry advance, thoy Improvise a cover for themselves by Joining up the shell holes which aro as numerous as tho holes In wire netting. Bodies of dead BOldlers, Itritish and Germans, lie on the surface if It can be called a surface. "We came across othor German gun positions at various points; hero we find ample traces of tho deadly work of our artillery in carcassoB of horses, wreckage, guns wilh quantities of unused German sholls. Wo sometimes find deep dugouts which somehow have escaped tlie deluge of shells, if one takes n journey down ono of these, it is to find that whore our artillery has failed our infantry bombs have succeeded. It Is not an uncommon thing to find dozens of Germans bombed to death before they had time to meot tho oncoming British.

REDMOND'S BROT WRITES OF Ell) ER TNG Tells How Irishmen of 16th Division Went Forward Shoulder to Shoulder With Ulstermen (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Oet. 18.—Major William Redmond, brother of John Redmond, M. P., has sent to the London papers an inspiring letter on the work of thc Kith Irish division in France, where it has been since December, 11115. The division was employed during tlie past summer at the section of the front where the fighting was hottest, and played a splendid part in the Somme battle. Redmond, In concluding with an appeal to fellow Irishmen to keep up the strength of the regiment, says: "Tlie hclmviour of the battalion lias been exemplary and both officers and men have shown on nil occasions the utmost gallantry and devotion to 'duty. The number of military honors won hy the division Is over 100 and includes two Russian honors. On one occasion tho division found itself side hy side, heading a line with the Ulster division, and when the men met from time tn time tbe host of good feeling and comradeship was shown as between hrother Irishmen, "Such, In brief, is tlie record of tlie fil'st two yenrs of thc existence of the Kith Irish division, composed, ns it is, like other divisions, of men the overwhelming majority of whom had absolutely no experience of soldiering when they Joined from nil parts of Ireland. "It remains to he said thnt the 16th division needs reinforcements and at once, it would be- a thousand pities —indeed, it would he like a betrayal of the. heroic dead—if the division which has brought so much honor to tbe Irish, ceases to exist. This lniiKt inevitably happen unless recruits come from Ireland." CHARLES H. LOVELL DEAD.

Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have nlrondy tried pepsin, bismuth, soda charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and you know these tilings will not cure your trouble—in some cases do not even givo relief. But before giving up hope and deciding you arc a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little magnesia— not thc ordinary eorbfmate, citrate, oxide or milk but thc pure bisurated magnesia which you can obtain from prnctieully any druggist in either powdered or tablet form. Take a tea- spoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid in your stomach which now causes your food to ferment and sour making gas wind flatulence heartburn and thc bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you cut. You will find that, provided you take a littlo bisurated magnesia immediately nfter a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy It without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover tho continued use of thc bisurated magnesia cannot injure tho stomuch in any way so long os there are any symptoms of ucid indigestion.

HAS RESTORED FRANCE'S PR ES IGE CUT RUMANIA OFF (Continued from Page One.) stlnctively the notion of dircet council and assembly. There will be this difference, that, while under past regimes this authority was imposed upon it historically and by custom, today It is the country Itself which demands it from Its elected representatives as well as a more firm and concentrated direction of its business. "You understand I am not speaking for myself. I am thinking of the next group of politicians which will be in power. They are bound to come on the scene with a fresh outlook and less bound by opinions and doctrines, will submit themselves moro easily to experience. Our present political methods are not nt all damaged by tho war. They simply require to bc revised, remoulded and readupted, I am convinced, for example, that the spirit born of the war is about to clash with the spirit of parochialism and that It will break it. There will be substituted the notion of public welfare which has been lost in what one might call the pulverization of efforts, what will be wanted will he the concentration of effort in the general interest. "In my opinion tlie need of tomorrow Is to concentrate Instead of disperse and you cannot imagine with what good will universal suffrage will nccept these principles. I believe it is ready to do so now. The war has put it in a state of receptivity and it remains only to speak to it clearly and frankly and to awaken It to a realize tion of its own conditions." PAPER MAKERS HOLD FOR HEAVY INCREASE Offer no Relief for High Price of News Print at Ottawa Meeting—Inquiry Is Probable, (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Oct. 17.—In a conference of newspaper publishers and news print paper manufacturers held here today, the manufacturers held lo the price of three cents a pound that was quoted as a minimum in tiie conference Inst week by the minister of fi nance. The conference today wns pre sided over by R. W. Breadncr of tlie department of finance. The paper manufacturers quoted figures showing increased cost of labor and raw materials. It was not claimed that the incrensed cost of production today was sufficient to account for the proposed increase of GO per cent in tlie prce of news print pnper, but the manufacturers endeavored to justify so large an increase on the ground of uncertainty as to certain further increases In cost of production, coupled with a desire to take advantage of the present1 strength of the paper market of the world. Publishers Take Stand. The publishers conceded that some increase might be necessary but took the position that the proposed minimum price of 3 cents a pound was prohibitive. For some time past efforts had been mado to meet the present conditions nnd other increases in cost of production by advancing subscription and advertising rates and y the elimination of paper waste and and other reductions in paper consumption. Further increases in advertising and subscription rates would be necessary hut It would bo impossible to make so large and immediate an increase as would be necessary to meet an Increase of 60 per cent in the cost of paper. As the publishers and paper manufacturers were unable to reach nn agreement, the request of the former for an Investigation by thc government stands and it is likely an inquiry will be made by the department of finance. Those Present. Tho paper manufacturers were represented at the conference by (Jeorgc I'ahoon, Laurentide; A. O. Campion, Belgo-Canndlan Pulp & Paper company; 13. W. Backus, Fort Francis Pulp & Paper company; George H. Mead, Spanish River Pulp & Papon K. Milieu, 15. B. Eddy company. Those present for the publishers were:.P. D. Ross, Ottawa Journal; J. F.

LONDON, Oct 18.—"On both tho northern and southwestern fronts of Russia," says a Petrograd despatch, "heavy rains and fogs are holding up operations, but the Russians, are not giving the enemy a moment's rest. Many trenches havo been captured by hand grenade and bayonet attacks ln thc dark. The nervousness of the Germans at this style of fighting has been expressed in panicky bursts of resultless gunfire. The Russian attacks on the new German position of Svinuisky Korytnlza southeast of Vladimlr-Volynski, resulted In the capture of first line trenches on a wldo front, despite the concentration by tho Germans of some of their best regiments. The Germans brought up reinforcements from neighboring sectors and fresh reserves. Five counter-attacks, accompanied by curtains of fire, were delivered by the Germans, isolating the Russian trenches. In tho fifth ntack the Germans at some places reached the breastworks and threatened to break tho Russian line. The Russian bayonets, however, were too deadly, and the Germans renounced their attempts at the capture of their old positions.

WEAVER LOPER AND WALTER H. NIC-HOLLS-GIVE LOPER CREDIT FOR FIGHTING FOR STOCKHOLDEKS IN COURTS; BUT DECLARE THAT INTERESTS OF COMPANY DEMAND THAT LIGHT BE THROWN ON FINANCIAL SITUATION—MINE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER AND THEY WANT ITS FINANCES PLACED ON A SOUND BASIS. [■The war between Walter ,T. NIcholls -Spokane and G. Weaver Loper for J control of the Lucky Jim is .going terrlly along and* tho indications nre ijjit NIcholls Is getting somewhat the alter of the battle. At the abortive annual mooting of le company, at Victoria on Aug. 19 fyholls had 439,500 .shares of stock in is own name.and 273,800 proxies. Lo- had 82,379 Jn his own name and flG.CGO proxies," NIcholls held a total j 713,300 and Loper a total of 438,939 hfares... In addition P..H. Hannuer of Ipoknno, whose position In the fight is Tit known here but who is not believed )..bo tied to Loper, had 6800 shares in is own name and 16,000 proxies, a toil of 22,800. This made-up the 1,175,- 19 shares represented at the meeting, 'he total capital stock of the company ic 2,500,000 shares, all of which is be- I-We-il tp have been issued. ,'Sfockholdcrs In this district who $6fer to have NIcholls in control do- tarc that ns long' nn Loper holds Ills resent position It Is Impossible to hrn the true financial condition of ine company. For that reason proxies Ire being sent in to NIcholls. * It Is believed that one reason for ■lOper's power in the affairs of the •rganlssatlon Is thnt many of tlie stock iblders have not taken tho trouble to litve their stock transferred to their iwn names. -Consequently many of he share certificates nre still in Lo< lifer's name, although he does not ac- ually own the stock. Loper Held Whip Hand. As long as the 82,000 shares appear trt the books as being in Loper's name nd ns long as he can control 356,000 proxies, or anything like that ijmount of stock, it Is difficult for tho richolls crowd to have absolute con- rOI of an annual meeting. At the last fleeting, for example, Loper, it is said, vould not consent to attend and bring number of shares represented I.boye the minimum number required or'a quorum' until he had secured a ledge from NIcholls thut the meeting! ihould bc adjourned without doing utsiness. NIcholls makes this stnte- nent in a letter to a local stockholder n which he states that he Is en- l-gavOiiftfr to' riecttt-c' stock or proxies o'a total of 1,250,000 so that a meeting ;an be held and a complete statement if thc company's financial position soured, without having to make any leal with Loper. Nd»effective annual meeting has been icld for two years. Just what the ■ompans-'s tlndehtedncss isj no one eally knows. It hns beon placed at 170,000 by an authority who should »e In a position to know. Loper Is aid to have declared it wus $186,000, •ut he does not suy how it is made up. Express Gratitude to Loper. Those who aro hacking Loper de- lure thnt the stockholders owe him n ebt of gratitude because of the fight ie put up on their behalf at the time he Lendrum McMeans mortgage ap- illcatlon cumo before the courts. "But or Loper It is doubtful if the stock- tolders would today hnve nny interest n the property,'' states one shurchold- "■and we aro grateful to him for |.avlng fought our battles in the courts, Nevertheless I believe that-the time ias arrived when It is necessary in the nterests of the stockholders that light * thrown on the company's financial position. I cannot see that any stock holder has anything to gain by leaving matters in their present unsatisfactory state. I do not know why Loper should atten\pt to block tho holding of a meeting at which theso matters could be threshed out and the facts placed on record. We want to know what the company owes and* the names of* the creditors nnd the amount due to each of them." Larson Management Success. The mine is being operated by A. G. Larson under an order of the courts mado at the request of the first mortgagee and Loper hns nothing to do with its active management. Since Mr. Larson took charge of tho management of the mine it has paid off a large proportion of the first mortgage' and moro ore is in sight today by several times over than when the court placed, him in control of operations. Local stockholders feel that the mine is in such shape that from a purely mining point of view it has a bright future. But they want some light thrown on thc financial situation and have been unable to do so with Loper In control of anything like the amount of stock nnd proxies he produced Inst August. They fool that if thoy can learn how much the company owes nnd to whom, ii. would be a simple matter—in view of tho splendid condition of the mine and tho large orebodies opened up— lo finance tbo construction of a mill' antl carry out other plans for paying the company's debts and placing thc property on a sound basis. In his letter NIcholls points out thnt nny proxies given to Loper for the former meeting will bo automatically canceled if stockholders make out new proxies in his name for the proposed meeting. Nfchollf** on Aug. 19 hud 4'39,»00 shares of stock nnd 273,800 proxies. Since that time It is believed that he has added both to his personul holdings and his proxies. LOW GRADE ORE HADE MACHINERY.

DEVELOP FOURTH EVEL AT BLUEBELL San, Franoitco Mining Paper Says Method Has Bun Found Satisfactory Under Some Conditions The main shaft Is tto the mine what tho trunk line ,is to the railroad. Safety is the .first consideration," uninterrupted traffic the second. As a means to1 these ends the Copper jlQueeu Consolidated Mining company decided to concrete ,its Sacramento shaft, To do this Without Interrupting traffic was no small problem, says the Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco, Cal. The shaft was lh constant use ,'thoj space between guides was so small as to lie Impossible of utilization for, working platforms. The; fifth compartment of tho shaft was therefore utilized as a .passage-way for -the concrete pipe line, tho concrete mixture being spouted by gravity into the forms through a*'4-Inch pipe In 10-foot lengths In order that replacements for wear might readily be made In sport, rather than standard length sections. Compressed air as a. carrier for the concrete was employed, the air under pressure performing the double function of carrying the concrete to tho forms and depositing it therein under such pressure as to compact the mass even better than could lie done by hand tamping. This method wns used in San Francisco for both the Stockton street and tbe Mile Rock tunnels, the concrete being ho dense as lo show tho grain of tho wood used for forms. At BIsbee .the self-supporting steel forms were designed so as to lie collapsible. The guides were left In place, the jar and vibration of the skips in passing having the effect of helping lo shake iho concrete into place In the forms, compacting the mass. liven Ihe heanis to which the guides were finally attached were of reinforced concrete. Tlie total cost of the work was $80,623; this includes all preliminary work as well as the actual concreting. Tho result is a fire-proof, practically water- proof, permanent main artery of traffic from mine to surface, through which ore, waste und men may pass without Interruption as long us the mine continues to be productive. To the owner of a prospect, a concreted shaft would bo an expense wholly unjustifiable. To tlfo owner of a. real mine, anything else Is extravagant. Whllo the character and volume of the oro deposit are such that the mine manager can see his way clear toward production for a term of yenrs sufficiently long to take Into .consideration tbe last'as well as the first cost, the expense per ton of output per year for concrete as Compared with wood should show clearly in favor of tho former, leaving out of consideration the security from fire risk. The Copper Queen company Is a pioneer In this type of shaft construction, although concrete hns been \ised In shafts elsewhere in Arizona. The Bunker Hill Mining company In California, is about to undertake a similar work, .. . j I'-. .1, Work Is Being Carried on About 400 Feot Below High Water Mark of Lake—Monthly Payroll $10,000 Development work Is proceeding on the fourth level of the Bluebell mine at Rlondel at a depth of nearly 400 feot below high water mark of Kootenay lake. Between 85 and 90 men arc employed, with a monthly payroll of about $10,000. S. S. Fowler, manager of the property, was in Nelson yesterday. GRANBY LIKELY TO INCREASE DIVIDEND BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 17.—Increased dividends for stockholders of Granby Consolidated Copper company cannot long be deferred, owing to the enormous profits now being secured. Earnings of better thnn $25 per share were made in the fiscal period ended June 30 last ,and this rate has since risen to approximately $10 a share. An early Increase from tho present $2 quarterly rate to at least $2.50 a share would not be surprising. A. E. RAND HERE. A.

Tiie Wolverine Mining & Development* company, a Spokane concerns which is developing ;*. big low grade galena milling proposition at Ainsworth, Iiuh made arrangements with the Florence Mining eonipany for n supply of air to operate its hoist, pumps and murium- drills. J. F. Carey, of Spokane, secretary- treasurer nf tlie company, was at Ihe Hum© yesterday and staled that it had been decided lo sink nn additional 150 foot on the shaft, wblch lies above the Early Bird tunm-l. Tho idea is to prospect tlie vein before continuing the Early Hlrd .tunnel to Its full length of 2500 feet, Which 1.-* .required t<» bring it under tiie shaft and provide ,n depth of 900 feet on tbc ore. There are a dozen or more veins oh the property,'some running' north nnd south and some east and west. Thc shaft is on a north and south vein, while the Early Hlrd tunnel runs in on un east and west vein. At their junction it is geologically likely that a big shoot will bo found. Tlie Early Bird tunnel is now in 200 feet. The shaft Is down 100 feet. Crosicut on Nicollet Claim. On tho Nicollet claim of the Wolverine group a crosscut lias ineen run 250 feet to tap nn east and west vein which on the surface, contains from 6 to 12 Inches of clean galena. The vein In'tho Early Bird tunnel averages about four feot. On tho Rand claim and others of the 1-1 claims and fractions of which the group is composed there are numerous good surfneo shot-tings which aro to he explored. If development justifies it a mill will be constructed to concentrate the ore. Tlio company Is a close corporation and has no stock on the market. Ample capital was secured in the east by Mr, Carey lo carry development to the stage which -#111 show If the property Is worthy of operation on a producing basis. Mr. Carey spent 18 months in tlie consolidation of, the group, which wos divided among several owners. It Is located between the Highland and Florence mines.

AFTER SCORING GAIN Reaction Toward Close of Session Said to Be Due to Sudden Hardening of Demand Loans, (By Daily News Leased "Wire.) NEW YORK, Oct. 1?.—During the greater part of today's active stock market trading was conducted on an almost steady advance in prices. In the last hour, however, most of this gain was lost, the list closing with an Irregular undertone. It was a mutter of general comment that dealings, which again approached the lnrge total of 1.340,000 shares, seemed mainly of a professional character, lacking the Investment demand, of recent weeks. It is not unlikely that \ Sensational Gains Are Scored and Big thc selling nt concessions toward tho i Broadening of Export Business- close was precipitated in part by a WHEAT PRIC Rl SH SHAKE Oat.

No speclnl reason wus offered to account for thc hardening of demand loans, but lest week's hank statemont. which showed a further pronounced contraction of reserves to the lowest figure since thc middle of tho year, may have been the. cause. Rumors to the effect that financial Institutions were discriminating ngainst certain industrial collateral, first exerted a deterrent influence. The unusual activity of numerous low-priced rails nnd industrials ns well as other j specialties hitherto In tho background wns a noteworthy feature. Trading In some of these issues was obviously directed by pools and cliques to the detriment of more representative stocks. United States Steel once more fluctuated between 20 and 25 per cent of the whole trading; Marines, Reading, Republic Steel, Rock Tslnnd, such relatively unimportant issues as Hides & Leather, Internationa] Paper and Union Bag each supplvinrr a large quota.

Western Union featured the utilities, heing among the most active stocks at CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 17.—Sensational advances in wheat prices resulted today from wild rushes to buy which accompanied a big broadening out ot export business. The murket closed excited at nearly the topmost figures reached. Net gains wero 5% to 7c a bushel, with pecember at $1.63% and May at' $1.64%. In tho last hour prices went skyrocketing in good earnest. Estimates after the close indicated that since yesterday Europeans had acquired ' more than 2.500.000 bushels of wheat' from the relatively meager supply in tho United States. In this connection . reports were current from the British , government that vessel ^rates on the Atlantic were down from 28 to 10c a bushels and thut the British government was bending all energies to les- . sen the cost of handling wheat shipments from this country. Such reports put shorts and other purchasers into a turmoil that wus but little, If any abated when the gong cleared the pit.

THE LANDING OF TROOPS GREECE. IN Having found it necessary to take a lirmer grasp of the situation In Greece thfe entente allies have landed Iroops and marines and placed them In con trol of Athens and Piraeus, tho port of the Hellenic capital. King Constantino is not to he trust ed. He pledged himself t0 stand hy tho decision or his ministers. A ma pority gave that decision, which wns to ally Greece with thc entputo powers,- The kinp; then forced tho resignation of sufficient of the pro-ally ministers to prevent action ngainst Bulgnrla and Us Teuton allies. Since that time It is clear that he has bended the i|[o-German attempt to organize the so-called loyalist faction In Greece •with a view In forcing the issue Germany's favor. The entente bended off'n movement ■pf.this kind in the Greek navy by seizing the ships and having them dismantled. A similar movement in the army was met by n forced demobilization, which appears to have been at least partially successful. Constantino's promises are German promises nnd the landing of troops at Athens Indicates thnt the entente allies have decided to employ tlie only nrgu- ment that a German understands— force. Constantino will keep his promises only when he dare not break them. freedom of action which the submarine was allowed by thc ultsense of entente warships. This is one reason why Downing street can sit back and wait fur the United States to express its views on the blockade Germany established ngninst American Atlantic coast ports before making any representation on tho broad questions at stake. THE SOLDIERS HAVE PREFERENCE. THE The Domininn government has made It a matter of policy to appoint returned soldiers to civil service positions whenever suitable men could he obtained "from the ranks of lho.se who hnve served their country at tlie front. The government has now gone further in the matter by passing an order Jn council whioh sets forth the policy lh definite terms. Tlie order, according to a despatch from Ottawa, says that except where pfenning necessity exists no man eligible for military service shall be appointed to a government position und it stipulates that preference Is to be given In both tlie inside and thc outside service to men Who have served overseas nnd have been honorably discharged and more especially to those unable to resume their former callings. Tho heads and deputy hends and thei civil service commission nre to he held responsible for the carrying out of the order. The people will givo wholehearted support to a continuance of this policy. Tbe soldiers are earning the right to discrimination in their favor, not only by the government hut by private firms and Individuals. THE INCREASED PAPER. PRICE OF Increased prides for paper aro a difficulty with which every newspaper In Canada has at the present time to contend. Indications nre that manufacturers will ask from 40 to 100 per pent more for 'paper in 1017 than 191fi. The situation is not due to a demand in Canada in excess of tbc supply from Canadian mills. It Is due to the demand from the United States, Whose own resources in the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of paper have been depleted. Cdnadian newspapers cannot afford to pay the higher prices. It is for that reason that a conference of newspaper publishers was recently held at Toronto and a committee named to discuss the question with Sir Thomas "White. It is essential that somP relief from the threatened situation should be obtained. The raw material belongs to Canada. There is no justification for making Canadians pay more for their paper for the benefit of Hie American press. UNITED STATES WEAKENED ITS OWN POSITION. The position of Great Tlrltain in the questions raised by tho activity of tho U-B3 is strengthened and the position of the United States Is wenkened by the fact that shortly before the German piracy outrages off Nantucket shoals occurred "Washington urged London to order the British navy to -cease the close patrol it had been making of waters ndjaroht to the American coast. Great Britain acceded to tlio request nnd along qftme a Gorman submarine nnd, In these very waters, destroyed six neutral and British merchant ships, The United States cannot escape a (Measure of- the. responsibility for tbe German women arc being urged to wear nothing except German fashions. The horrors of war nre increasing. It is said that the German correspondents nre prohibited by the censor from sending out tlie truth. That will not worry them very much. The business of the rBtttsh and French on the western front is to advance moro quickly than thc Germans can dig, and they are evidently succeeding. The people of Greece have the choice of loyalty to their country or loyalty to their king. Thore aro apparently thousands In Athens who prefer king to country. Judging by a report from a Canadian artillery officer the Germans on the west have no chance of getting Into their holes and drawing the holos In after them. When tho British artillery has played for a few minutes there is no hole left. The Red Cross is this week making a worldwide appeal for funds, tho occasion being the week of the anniversary of Trafalgar day. The response in 1015 was excellent. The needs this year are greater and the donations should lie proportionate. German dug-outs become less plentiful ns the entente allies advance on the western front. It appears that the Germans, who seldom fnil to make adequate military preparations for eventualities, were In this case so strongly convinced of tlie impregnability of their defenses that they believed it unnecessary to provide against a rapid Franco-British advance. Discovery in a pawnshop of an illustrated address presented by Canadians 30 years ago to tho Marquis of Lome and the statement that other of the marquis' effects were found at resorts of the three gold balls suggests either than the man who later became the Duke of Argyll suffered from thefts or had a hard time to raise enough money to get out of tlie country.

We have not any means ourselves of stating whut the actual facts were. Await Developments "V will sum up tho situation by saying this: "Thc whole mutter seems to be in a slate of suspense so far as we are concerned. It is evidently the enso thnt a German submarine visited an American port and subsequently sank British and neutral vessels off the American coast. We do not know what precautions were taken to prevent the submarine from obtaining supplies or information from the newspapers or otherwise as to the movement of tterchaiit ships off the coast. Xor do we know whether American ships of war facilitated thc operations of tlio submarine by getting out of thc way as reported in the press. "It is only the United States government and Its officials who can ascertain tlio facts and until wc know what are the facts and what view tho American government, takes of the proceeding of the German stibmarlne we do not propose to make any official representation on tho subject, although it is obvious that the issues involved arc important. Of course tlin allies together have made representation expressing fully to the American government their views with regard to tlio danger of permitting submarines of the wnVring powers to visit, ports of thc neutral powers. That was done before this particular German submarine arrived. Unfavorable Reply "Thc reply of the American government was not. favorable lo the view of tha allies on that point but it is possible thero may be a further discussion on the subject. Therefore,' when I say that we do pot propose to make official representations until we know tlie full frtcts and the view of the American governmont, that applies only to the specific proceedings of the German submarine, which, we understand are now the subject of special consideration by the American government, which is itself ascertaining the full facts of the case and will, I suppose in due course let it be known to the world what view it takes. "Wo shall then be able to decide whether it Is necessary for us to make any official representation on the subject and, if so, what the nature of this official representation shall be." Lord Beresford expressed the hope that the situation would not bo allowed to remain as It was, as it wouldv lead to irritation, "We do not want political questions raised between these two great countries," he said, "but they are certain to ho rnised unless some definite conclusion is reached or some communication made between the two countries which will clear up the question."

I! depends on us Canadians—not on the few in high places, but on every one of us. Every year we are importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods, much of which could be produced just as well in Canada. Suppose they were produced here. Think of the number of workmen who would be employed. Think of what it would mean in wages, and money kept in circulation. Think of what it would mean to our farmers, to our shopkeepers—to our builders, to everybody. Think of what it would mean to you.

Walter Runciman, In reply to the complaints, said be was "hungering" for a practicnl proposal, which had not been forthcoming, for preventing evils which were largely dun to the increased food consuming capacity, not only of .the army but of munitions and oilier workers, and the decreasing supplies of food.

In relating the measures the government has tnken in regard to meat and wheat. Mr. Runciman said every effort was being made to increase tbe available tonnage for imports and that the admiralty had agreed in many Instances to do with a smaller number of vessels.

Barrone, the well known Italian military critic, the writer setB himself to give a general answer to two questions without going Into detailed description. The first is aa to the significance of the recent Italian successes from the point of view of the war as a whole, and the second as to the reasonable conjectures that may discretely be made with regard to future operations. After reviewing the position actually held by the Italians and Austrlans In the neighborhood of Qorizia, and pointing out the fact that behind their actual front lines the Austrlans have a labyrinth of other strongly fortified lines, ho says that the possession of the whole line of the Isonzo will only be secured when the plateau of Bain- sissza, north ot Gorizia and the Heights of Tre Santi have been taken. All the action of the artillery, he continues, is directed against the Austrian railway lines which load to the front and by which the Austrlans bring up their reinforcements. It is as if hitherto thc Italian, army had been standing on the threshold of the empire, their way blocked by. an obstacle that prevented it from fully utilizing its numerical superiority. If this obstacle had not been removed Austria would have been able to go on holding the Italian armies In check with a considerable smaller force, without being much weakened by thc loss of the contingents sent to Galicia against the Russians. As long as the Italian ndvance was barred by this short but strong front line even the continued offensive of the Italian army had little effect. But the piercing of the Austrian line and thc lengthening of the Italian line has changed the character of the operations. In future, as the resistance of the Austrlans is overcome, they will be obliged to dilute their forces, and the harmony between tho actions on the Russian and Italian fronts will be increased, bemuse the Austrian troops sent to reinforce those on the Italian front will mean a weakening in the opposition to the Russian advance. These successes also show, Col. Bar- ronne continues, that formidable positions, unless they nre held by troops who are admirably and magnificently commanded like the heroic defenders of crdun, unless there are ample reserves of men, may be obliged to yield. It Is sufficient for that purpose for the attack to be cleverly organized with abundant supplies and executed by brave menfwlthout recourse being had to massed formations In the German munne These lessons, he observes, s'ould be learnt by the Austrlans and Germans, who owing to the simultaneous offensive of the allies, find themselves In the position of having to defend as best they can tho territory they have acquired. Defenses, however strong they may be, must fall when the circumstances just referred to come about. As to the question of what direction the Italian military op orations will take whon onc-A the whole Tsonzo front is secured, Coi. Baroiine observed that these have before them one clear object, namely victory; national asperations will be roolized in due course and as tho logical cotise quence of this victory. •ATTITUDE IN INDIA ON ARABIAN REVOLT CALCUTTA, India.—The revolt of the Shereef of Mecca and the practical loss to Turkey of the Muhammadan holy land have naturally caused great excitement in India, which contains a far larger body of Muhammadans than any other country in thc world. Up to the moment of writing it would be exceedingly difficult to pronounce with any deflnlteness as to the attitude which thc body of the Indian Muhum- madans is adopting with reference to this crisis in the history of Islam. So far as the bulk of them are concerned, it is probable that they remain unaffected by this Important revolution, except that they have been pleused and interested to hear that thc net result will bo to Increase tho ease and safety uf the pilgrimage to Mecca. But there is a certain minority of noisy Muhammadan politicians, many of them having been educated In England, who have clearly been greatly disconcerted by the development. This group has captured the All-India Moslem league, and this body, immediately upon the news of the revolt becoming known In India, called an emergency meeting of Its committee, and passed a resolution denouncing the action of the Shereef of Mecca as detrimental to the interests of the holy places. This example has been followed by Isolated groups in Calcutta and elsewhere. All the malcontents have carefully avoided saying in so many words that the future of Islam Is bound up with the triumphant emergence of Turkey from the present war, but, as the statesman points out, there can bc no doubt whatever that this thought Is at the back of their thoughts, and if any attempt is made to follow this up by further demonstrations It must Inevitably bring them into open collision with tlie government of India, which is naturally In sympathy with the Shereef of Mecca and ls committed by the policy of thc British government to war a l'outrance with Turkey. Spenk- ing generally, it may be taken that the enormous majority of Indian Muhammadans, who ure more or less inarticulate, are not sufficiently animated by sympathy with Turkey to agitate themselves over events In the Hedjaz, and It remains to be seen how far the noisy, but otherwise inconsiderable minority ore able or prepared to go In the direction of influencing their more level-headed coreligionists.

CASES DECIDED BY CENTRAL TRIBUNAL LONDON, England—Notes of fur- thfcr cases which have been decided by the central tribunal have been circulated by the local government board for the information of tribunals. Included In the notes is an important one on the position of conscientious objectors. The central tribunal, says the circular, have had before them a number of appeals by persons alleging conscientious objection to military service not based on any religious ground. These persons are In most cases members of some Socialist organization. Tho cases differ. In some the objection alleged is based on opposition to the present war; in others on disapproval of the the present organization of society, which the man considers not worthy of defense, though he would fight in defense of a state organized in a way which he approves. These opinions, however, genuinely nnd strongly held, do not, in the view of the central tribunal, constitute conscientious objection within the meaning of the military service acts. In the majority of cases, the central tribunal are satisfied that the appellants ■have a genuine belief that the taking of human life in any circumstances is morally wrong, and the central tribunal hold that such an objection is properly met by exemption from combatant service. In some of these last cases the appellant has proved a genuine settled conscientious objection not only to the actual taking of life, but to everything which is designed directly to assist in the prosecution of war. Such cases, where established, entitle the appellant, in the opinion of the central tribunal, to exemption from all forms of military service upon conditions as to performing work of national importance the terms of which will be found In cases decided by the central tribunal. The central tribunal have carefully considered such authorized publications of Socialist organizations as have been laid before them. On the material so far available they do not find that membership of any such organizations is tn itself evidence of a conslentious objection to military service. The central tribunal regard tho age of the mnn alleging conscientious objection ns an important factor tn the consideration of the question whether his objection Is so deliberate and settled as to entitle him to exemption or to the widest form of exemption. Numerous cases have come before the tribunals of men whose parentage was non-British. One of these is in- eluded In the circular, which says; Application was made on the ground of (a) conscientious objection (father an unnaturalized German) ond (b) serious hardship (the father Is inter- nod and the man had to support the .family). The central tribunal were clearly of the opinion thnt an objection by a man of enemy-alien parentage to fight in the present wnr was not a conscientious objection within the meaning of the military service act. They understood from tbe war office that men of enemy-alien parentage were employed only In a labor battalion or Infantry works battalion. It was ascertained from thc war nffice that the fact that the father was interned did nol affect thy payment of dependnnt's allowance in respect of the mother and sisters of the man provided they were dependant on him, The central trlbunnl dismissed tbo man's appeal and gnve no exemption. M. TROELSTRA'S SPEECH AT THE HAGUE PARIS, France—The correspondent of PHumnnite gives a report of the speech delivered by M. Troelstra. deputy in the lower chamber of the Dutch states general at the conference held at The Hague recently by Socialists from neutral countries. The report of the speech, as it appears In tho French Socialist organ, has been a good deal censored. M. Troelstra expressed the hope that the conference would load to a reirnion of the various Socialist parties which had become divided owing to the policy of their governments. From this regrettable situation an endeavor had been made to draw the conclusion that the "International" was a thing of the past. Such an attempt only showed that thc international idea was darkened In the minds of those who made it. When tlie time comes, he continued, tho "International" will show that tt can adapt itself to fresh circumstances and that it will know how to maintain unity, even where a divergence of opinion exists. M. Troelstra then wont on to define the Socialist program based on the resolutions passed at the International congress of Copenhagen In 1910, and which had been confirmed during thc war by the French, British and Belgian parties In London, by the Austrian and German parties in Vienna, and by the Scandanavlan and the Dutch parties in Copenhagen. It lays on thc Socialists tho necessity of working for obligatory arbitration in all conflicts between states by means of International courts; for continued activity to bring about general disarmament preceded by the limitation of armaments at sea and the abolition of tho right of capture; for the sup- presslon of secret diplomacy; for the proclamation of the autonomy of all peoples and their right of defense against violence and oppression. Speaking of the terms of peace, M. Troelstra said that if the Socialist parties did not come to some decision with regard to Its terms at a general meeting of the executive, the result Would be that the proletariats would be surprised by peace, just as they had been hy war, or else, owing to the demoralization caused by the war, a condition of anarchy would be produced to which It would be Impossible lo consider facts calmly. On the contrary If, when the right time comes, Social Democracy Is ready to lead a popular movement in favor of a just peace, it will inspire enthusiasm with the people for Socialist Ideals and will find strength to carry on the program of pacifism. If such a program Is adopted by the Socialist parties of the belligerent countries, tt Is quite possible that the truth of political parties will come to an end. This, M, Troelstra said, would be considered by us as an advantage, for up to tbe present the Socialist majorities In 'France and Germany have observed the truce mom faithfully than PAGE SEVEN °f\l ^^Wffl^^_^pna-fi( Baby's Morning at The Bay OFFERING MANY ITEMS OF INTEREST TO MOTHERS WHICH ARE ALWAYS IN DEMAND—GOOD8 WHICH ARE UNOBTAINABLE FROM THE FACTORY TODAY 20c,25c WE START WITH BABY'S WHITE "RUBENS" OR BROWNIES—Made «E_ of Wool.

The ordor made by his lordship atso provided that If for any good cause tho arrangement should not prove satisfactory to either one of the parents, the case might he ORatn brought before the courts at tho next assizes. Graham "was ordered to pay court costs for his wife. In' making thc order, his lordship stated that he would not have followed this course If thc children wore to be taken care of by strangers, but the fact that tho aunt lived In tho same city with the mother and that tho father would make his homo with his sister, convinced; him that this was the wisest course to follow. Ho stated that after hearing tho evidence given by tho various -witnesses he had come to thc conclusion that the mother had not worried herself much over the welfare of her children or given much of her time to looking after them. Ho was not impressed favorably with thc appearance of the mother, he said, nor with the witnesses produced by her to testify to her manner of keeping her ho-ne and providing for tho hoy and girl, Thc boy in particular, ho said, did not appear to have received much care or restraint. On the other hand, his lordship declared that the nunt, Mrs. .Anderson, had impressed him most favorably, as had nlso her sister. They were, he thought, neat, respectable women, whose only thought was for tho well- being of the children. The evidence, he said, did not show (hot the aunts had In any way endeavored to pre- nidlce the children ngainst thoir mlther or -wished to keep them for any motive other than that of wishing to give them a good home, Tf It were not for ihe boy, he said, there would he little need for ordering tho change, as the girl had already been in Ihe custody of the aunt for some time, having gone to her home o-f, her own choice. It was the future of the boy of which he was thinking, he declared, as it wus evident from the statemenls of tho chlof of police of Trail that the littlo fellow wus being allowed to grow up wild and that his mother was hicapablo or unwilling- to devote her time to his proper upbringing. The boy, he said, needed a restraining Influence. This, he believed, would be provided in the sister's home and in the care of his father.' His lordship pointed to tho public school records and held that, if tho mother had exerted herself, both the children might havo been kept at school. His lordship ruled that In giving the custody of tho children to their aunt, thc mother wus to have freo access to them on Saturdays and Sundays, when their attendance at school would not be required. In this way lie said the mother would be relieved from what, it was evident to him, was a responsibility too great for her, without being completely cut off from her .children. In arguing the case for tho defense, R. C. Crowo took the stand that it had not been proved that the mother wus an unfit person to have thc care ot her children and urged thc point that sho was the natural paront and thereforo had a. moral iright to tho possession of her offspring . His lordship replied that he could not let sentimenli.il feelings for tho parents stand In the way of what ho felt was for the immediate and ultimate good of both children. Their welfare was the issue at stake and must be protected at all costs, he said. At the close of thc session, his lordship explained tho nature of the Judgment fully to tho father, urging him to use every effort to maintain peaco between Mrs. Graham and himself and warning him to seo that his sister refrained from using her Influence to prejudice tho children against their mother. dress and traveled to the Slocun where the honeymoon is tuning place, in a navy blue costume trimmed with fur.
