front and again was repulsed at all
points, except opposite the southeast

DISSOLUTION UNLIKELY
BEFORE END NEXT WEEK
Work  of  Arranging  for  Election   so
Heavy That Voting May Not Be
Till January.
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTVWA, Oct. 1.—Sir Robert Borden's first day in the capital after his
brief holiday was not productive of
any definite announcement in regard
to government reconstruction, the
formal dissolution of parliament or
government appointments. The cabinet counoll was In session for a couple
of hour? in the late afternoon. Subsequent to the meeting Sir Robert said
he had no, announcement of any kind
to make, but he Intimated that there
might be something of interest to mnke
public within a day or two.
It probably will bo Wednesday or
Thursday before there are Important
developments at the capital. Formal
dissolution of parliament, which otherwise would die a natural death on
Sunday next, Is not expected until toward the close of the week. Meanwhile a number of appointments are
likely to be put through. In addition
to the one vacant aeuatorahip from
Ontario, which can be filled before dissolution, and certain vacancies In the
judiciary, there are a couple of important posts In the house of commons
staff to be filled. There are the clerkship of the house, made vacant by the
retirement of Dr. T. B. Flint, and tho
post of sergeant at arms which was
held by the late Lieut.-Col. Smith,
who died suddenly at Kingston a few
days before the house adjourned. The
western senate appointments, designed to give the west a group of 24 representatives In the upper chamber,
cannot be filled until after dissolution
of parliament.
While plans are being made for the
holding of the general elections in December, the impression Is growing that
it may bo found Impossible to have
the voting take place before January.
The revision of the lists In addition to
the provisions of the Wartime Elections act, the printing of the same and
all other necessary arrangements for
the contest at the polls, may consume
so much time that nominations cannot take place until December with
the voting four weeks later,

WML INTEREST
IS PRIMARY FACTOR
Men Likely to be Called in
Drafts of About
20,000
(By.Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Oct. 1.—No special occupations will receive exemption when
men are called to the colors under the
Miliary Service net. In Great Britain certain occupations were certified
and a. man so occupied received conditional exemption. But, while conditional exemption, viz., exemption
granted so long as the man remains
at specified occupation, may be grant'
ed by a local tribunal in Canada there
will be no trades or occupation granted
exemption as a whole. This declaration, it is understood, has been definitely reached, and local tribunals will
lie guided by it. It is pointed out here
that the Military Service act docs not
provide for the listing of occupations
especially calling for exemption. The
plan was not found to work satisfaC'
torlly in England. Further, the ex
tre'the variation In conditions prevail
Ing in different parts of Canada ren.
der such a plan even less suitable here.
In considering a claim for exemption, a
tribunal will regard national interest
as the primary factor. A man's occu
patlon will be a factor of first im
portance, but. each individual claim
will be dealt with on its merits. A
loafer will not be able to get exemption
by claiming that he is employed in one
of the basic industries.
Buildings Offered  Free.
The Military Service office has re
celved   letters   from,  many   sections
throughout  Canada offering to place
municipal buiUlings at the use of offl
cials of exemption tribunals free    of
charge.    Such expression of desire to
cooperate  in making the administration of the act a success is regarded
as  highly  encouraging.    Further reports  from  the various military districts show  that  the medical  boards
are kept busy with voluntary applica
tions for physical examinations.
A week or so after the board meets,
which will be in Ottawa next week, it
is anticipated, a call will be publlshhed
under the Military Service act and all
mon coming within the first class are
requested to report for servlco or file
a claim for exemption. About three
weeks will be allowed after the publishing of the proclamation for the filing of applications for exemption. The
delay in which appeals from the decision of a local tribunal may be made
will be considerably shorter.
The Military Service act provides for
the calling up of 100,000 men, but It
is not proposed to summon so large
a number to the colors immediately.
In all probability the men will be called
In drafts of 20,000 or so.
WINNIPEG, Oct. 1.—Brlg.-Gott. R. J.
Gwynne, director general of mobilization at headquarters, Ottawa, left the
city tonight for Regina. Calgary and
Vancouver, in order to discuss general

to meet fuel shortage lit the northwest
The order also declares that producers shall fulfil contracts for delivery
of coal to Lake Erie ports for transshipment; directs all handling agencies

with the fuel administration. Buyers
continued to drain the lake ports of
their coal, however, and of 180,000 tons
shipped dally on lake carriers, only
about 53,000 tons has been reaching
the northwest. To meet the needs of
this section the daily shipments should

Cannot  Get  Peace   Except on  Conditions America Approves, Says
Viscount Grey
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Oct. 2.—In discussing the
entry of the United States into the
war, Viscount Grey, former foreign
secretary, in a preface to a collection
of war statements by President Wilson published in a pamphlet, declares it is now clear that the military and naval success of German
arms in Europe could not secure a
German peace. Viscount Grey's remarks are printed by the Daily News:
"Germany," he says, "cannot get
peace except on conditions that the
United States may consider essential
to its own interest and to the future
peace and freedom of the world.
"It is Impossible to get around this
fact, and it is not surprising that Germany dare not lace it and turns her
back upon it that she may not face it,
for that is what the organized silence
and contempt in Germany of the action of the United States renlly
means."

Thickly-Populated Southwestern District Bears Brunt
of Attack-People Warned of Danger by Cars That
Rush Through Streets Displaying Illuminated
Notice-Take Cover"
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Oct. 1.—The strangest air
attack yet attempted on London and tho
coast towns by the Germans was carried out tonight by four groups oC
hostile airplanes. Some of the ma-
chanes got through to London and
bombed tho southwestern district,
A terrific barrage was sent up from
the defense guns and the roar of bat-
tie lasted intermittently for two and a
half hours.
Two of the groups succeeded in'getting a number of machines through
the sky barrage. Numerous bombs
were dropped on the southwestern district, which is thickly populated with
the homes of the upper and middle
classes. The fire from the defending
guns was longer and louder than ever
before. A rain of shrapnel fell In all
sections of the town and the streets
were deserted save for a few police.
Raid Was  Expected.
The weather was perfect for air
operations as there was a bright full
moon with no clouds or wind. The
people of London expected a raid and
were awaiting for signals. Soon after
7 o'clock motors of the volunteer corps
speeded through the streets blowing
sirens and displaying an illuminated
notice, "Tako cover." The telephone
exchanges .notified their subscribers
and other measures were put into force
to inform the people of the impending
raid.
Many of the theatres were continuing their performances despite tho
raids. At the conclusion of the performance in one of the leading theatres the manager came on the stage
and  Invited   the  audience  and  stage
hands to vote on continuing the night
performance. The vote was for continuing.
Lord  French  Reports.
Field Marshal Lord French Issued
the following report dealing with tonight's rnid:
"A group of hostile airplanes crossed
the Essex coast at 7 o'clock this evening and proceeded across Essex toward London.
"This group of machines was followed at about a quarter of an hour's
interval by a second group, which pursued the same course.
"The first attack on London wns delivered from the northeast about 7:45
p. m. Most of the raiders were turned
back, but one or more of the machines
penetrated the defenses and dropped
bombs In tho southwestern district.
"About 8:16 p. m. the second group
attempted to cross the defenses at
various points In northeast and north
London, but without success until
shortly after 9 o'clock, when a few
of them passed across London and
bombs were again dropped In the
southwestern district.
"Meanwhile a third group of raiders crossed the Kentish coast and
dropped bombs at various places. This
group did not penetrate very far westward.
"A fourth group of enemy machines
crossed the Essex coast about 8:50
o'cioclt and proceeded toward London,
which was approached shortly beforo
lo o'clock-. They did not penetrate
further than the northeastern outskirts of London, where some bombs
were reported to have been dropped.
"No reports of casualties or damage
have yet been received."
QUEBEC WILL VOTE
Keen Campaign Proceeding—Lavergne
Attacks  Clergy  for  Supporting
Dry Movement.
(By Dully News Leased Wire.)
QUEBEC, Oct. 1.—Quebec will vote
on prohibition on Oct. 4 and a campaign is going on that is creating as
much interest ns the anticonscrip-
tlon movement did. Four big meetings have already been held, two in
favor oC prohibition, two against. It is
very hard to say who will win at the
polls.    Both   parties   claim  victory.
The vote on prohibition is to be
taken under the Scott act.
Armand Lavergne severely attacked
the clergy last night on the question
of prohibition,  saying:
"The clergy claim in pastoral letters
that they want prohibition to save the
young men from death. Why did they
not publish pastoral tetters against
conscription, which is more dangerous
than prohibition?"
Should prohibition be voted on Oct. 4
the "antls" claim It will have no effect, as all the hotelkeepcrs and wine
merchants would move their establishments to a little city called Quebec
West, that has been created by an, act
of legislation, and hns power lo give
as many licenses as the council wants
to.

LONDON, Oct. 1.—Via Router's Ottawa Agency.—"-Router's correspondent
at British headquarters in France tele-
iphs today:
'At dawn today the Germans developed a heavy counter-attack on our
positions near Tower Hamlet on a
stretch of the front tor which the enemy has already fought his hardest. A
bombardment of great intensity proceeded the attack. Our guns responded
In considerably greater violence.
The weather was most misty, making it difficult for airmen to carry out
reconnaissances to any appreciable degree, but as the sun rose conditions
improved.
"The first infantry attack was
launched at, 6:to this morning astride
the Menin road on a wide front. The
first and second waves were so severely battered by the artillery that they-
ncver reached our positions. The third
wave got into actual contact with our
Infantry but met with such a steady
und devastating volume of rlflo and
machine gun fire that It broke and fetl
back.
"Simultaneously a body of our men,
cheering, broke forward in pursuit and
established theinnclvos 100 yards in advance of their previous line.
"The second attack was delivered at
8:30 and although repulsed nearly
everywhere, at one point tho enemy

A/ANTS   POTATOES   DUG
TO AVOID  FROST DANGER
Chairman F. M. Black Declares This is
Important  in   View   of  World
Food Shortage.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Oct. 1.—F. M. Black,
chairman of the fruit and vegetable
committee of the food controller's office, who has been investigating the
potato situation in the west, has reported to Ottawa that In view of the
world food shortage, it is important
that all potatoes should be dug before
there is danger of loss by frost. He
advises that all under three ounces in
weight should lip retained by the producer for local use and for seed and
that the others should be stored for
winter and spring use.
Mr. Black states that it Is in the
Interests of consumers in the west to
pay fair prices for potatoes now as an
unreasonably low price at the present
time to tho consumer might mean high
prices next spring and during early
summer, because all of the large crop
would not he harvested.

REPORT APPEARS TO BE
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
Nothing Known Officially About Statement Regarding Big Coal Shipment to Ontario.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Oct. 1.—Nothing is known
at the office of'the Dominion fuel controller, of a. report emanating from St.
John, N.B., to the effect that 24,000
cars of anthracite coal are coming into
Ontario by way 'of Buffalo for distribution throughout Canada, more particularly In the eastern provinces.
Twenty-four thousand cars would
represent about one-quarter of the annual importation of bard coal and the
bringing in of such an amount would
solve the problem. Unfortunately there
does not appear to ho any confirmation of this statement, that such complete relief is in sight and purchasers
of coal are advised to lay in a supply
for winter months whenever it. Is possible. In this connection It Is pointed
out that the consumer who is financially able to stock up for. the winter
months will help the situation by buying now as this would leave more of
the winter importations for ihc purchasers who can only afrord to purchase in small quantities.
INQUEST ON DEATH
MRS. MATHER ADJOURNED
Medical   Evidence   Indicates   She   had
Steadied Barrel of Revolver
with   Hand.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
WINNIPEG,     Oct.     1.—An     inquest
concerning the death of Mis. Ada OUvo
Mather  which,   under   tragic   circumstances, occurred at a  local hotel last
week, was opened this evening before
Dr. McConnell, coroner.   The husband
f the  deceased,  who  had   attempted
ulclde by severing arteries in his arm,
i*ns  still   in   such  a   condition  at tho
general hospital that  his doctors ad
ised against his removal to give the
evidence necessary for (ho completion
of   the   cast.     After   Dr.   Gordon   Bell,
provincial     bacteriologist,     who    had
made the postmortem examination on
the body, and Detective Sergeant Geo.
Smith, had given evidence, it wns decided to adjourn the hcarinc; for one
week.
Dr. Bell, in his evidence, said the WO
man's left band was marked; by powder, with which she presumably bad
steadied the barrel of the revolver;
also that the skin surrounding the Incision was black and charred.
The funeral of Mrs. Mather will be
held at Brookside cemetery Tuesday.
ELEVATOR MEN II
[AT FORT W LLIAM
Employees     Who     Struck     Without
Notice Urged to Resume Pending
Probe   I nto  Demands
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
FORT WILLIAM, Ont., Oct. 1.—
Tonight no new developments have
occurred in the elevator strike here.
Meetings wore held between the grain
commission und the employers and
between the commission and the employees   this  afternoon.
Commissioner Jones, when asked
whether there was any statement to
give out, replied that there was
nothing as yet. At tho session with
tho employees it had been strongly
urged that the men should return to
work pending an investigation and a,
settlement. The matter is being dismissed by the men behind closed doors
tonight, and It is possible that this
will bo the solution.
The employers claim that they had
no notice of any intention of the men
quilting and the first intimation was
when the men, who are paid on an
hourly basis, did not turn up this
morning. Some employees came to
the Consolidated elevator this morning, but wore warned off by the
strikers. The men state that this Is
the result of the refusal of the employers to accede to their demands In
tho summer for a scale of -10 cents per
hour with lime and a half on night
shifts and double time on Sundays
and holidays. The present scale Is
35 cents for all hours worked. The
ndvance in wages since the. fall of
1914 is about 40 per cent. The board
of grain commissioners is keeping in
constant touch with the department
of labor at Ottawa, and there is no
foundation for the rumors that the
militia will be called out to deal with
the situation. All proceedings have
far been quite orderly. According
to the operators, SO per cent, and according to the men, 40 per cent, of the
men on strike are of alien enemy
origin. If tho men consent to the proposal to return to work at oncp a
board of arbitration will be asked for.

"On tho right bank of the Meuse,
after a violent bombardment, the Germans delivered an attack between the
Boise lo Chaume and Bezonvuux. A
stubborn engagement ensued in our
advanced elements which the enemy
bad succeeded in entering and ended
to our advantage. Our line was reestablished and we look about ir> prisoners.
"Belgian communication: On Sept.
30 and Oct. 1 the regions around
Ramscappello, Costcappellc, Rouge
Dame, Loos and Knocke have been ex.
posed to the enemy fire. Many of our
advanced posts have been violently
bombarded.
"Our artillery has bombarded enemy
communications  and  cantonments   in
reprisal for numerous bombs thrown
different points on our rear zone.
"The aviators have been very active
during the course of the last two days,
carrying out numerous missions of
reconnaissance, chase and protection,
in the course of which many battles
were fought and also bombardments

LONDON, Oct. L—The raid last
night, the fifth within seven days, as
far as available details shows, accomplished nothing important for the enemy. The claim that the new air barrage acts as ii powerful deterrent to
the raiders seems to have been justified further in tho latest attack. An
immense number of suns of various
calibres were in action. Indeed, it was
they and not the invaders who were
putting up the jdiow. The .text of the,
official statement reads:
"The latest reports state that the
casualties in last night's air raid in
all districts were:
"Killed, 9; Injured, •12.
"Only two were killed in London.
The material damage was not great.
"One enemy machine is reported to
have been brought down off Dover."
Berlin Says Great Damage Done.
BERLIN. QQt. 1.—An official report
states:
"Our airmen again dropped bombs
upon military buildings and warehouses in inner London. Numerous

that little more action would be granted the market, but it is quite likely
that lew existing loans will be dls-

AGAIN ON RAILWAYS
Some Standard Issues Fall to Lowest
Prices in Decade—C. P. R. Drops
3 Points.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Recurrent
liquidation or rails, generally attributed to the greater necessities of, foreign
holders, more than neutralized a firmer tendency shown by othen stocks in
the course of today's irregular market.
Offerings of transportation shares
were insistent .and In larger volume
than any recent period, some standard
issues falling to lowest quotations of a
decade or more. Additional reasons
for their weakness were furnished by
the poor August statements of such
systems as Pennsylvania, New York
Central and St. Paul.
The market opened with an all-
round demonstration .of strength, leaders soon advancing 1 to 3 points under
the favorable influence engendered by
the opening of the second liberty loan
campaign and indications of relaxed
money conditions. St. Paul common
and preferred at declines of 3% and
1 point, established new minimums at
52% and 99 respectively. Canadian
Pacific's 3-point drop to 146% was the
lowest level of the year, and Baltimore
& Ohio's loss of 3 points to 61% furnished a low quotation for almost 20
years. Sales amounted to 585,000
shares.
Bonds wore irregular on reduced
dealings, the liberty issue ranging between 09.98 and 100.10. Total sales,
par value, $2,875,000. United States
bonds, old issues, were unchanged.

IGHTLY
Frost   Damage   Is   More   to   Quality
Than Quantity—Business in Oats
Is Narrow.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 1.—Indications
that damage by frost Monday morning
had been done to the quality of corn
rather than to quantity led to a reaction today from an advance which
at first took place in prices. The market closed unsettled at $1.18% for December and $l.l5Vt'to $1.15% for May,
Vj cent °" 1° a shade up as compared
with Saturday's finish. The outcome
In oats was unchanged to % cent lower and for provisions 7 cents down
to a rise of-5 cents.
Frosts In Illinois, lown, Missouri
and Indiana had a moderately bullish
influence on corn at the outset. In
view of the generous size of the expected supply no uneasiness developed
over the fact that the present visible
quantity for October was shown to bo
the smallest at this season in more
than 30 years. Assertions current late
In the day that a petition was being
circulated here to have the maximum
price on corn removed were without
any substantial basis.
Business in oats was narrow and
simply reflected the changes in the
corn market.
Provisions, like oats, swayed with
corn. A small demand from commission houses was quickly submerged by
offerings from  stockyard  houses.
At H. Brown's auction sale at Na-
mada, Alta., a bunch of yearling heifers brought $62.50 per head and cows
with calf at foot realized between $90
and $100.

All Good Music
Is a Joy
iatliln    But tne  greatest joy comes
from hearing the kind of
music you like best just y
when you want it.
That's the kind of music-joy you
can have when the Columbia Graf-
onola comes into your home.
The stirring music of great bands
and orchestras, the wonderful voices of
grand opera singers, the clever singing of
popular song hits—and as for dance music
—well no one can keep quiet when the
Grafonola plays a dazzling "jass" tune.
Think of ths merry little parties you can
have at the shortest* notice when your
friends drop in—if you are prepared to enter-
tain them with a Columbia Grafonola.
Why let YOUR home go without this
musical joy when almost every other good
home you know has it?
Good music is as essential in your home
as the food you eat or the clothes you
wear. Step into the nearest Columbia
dealer's to-day and let him show you the
beauties of the Grafonola. He will also
gladly play for you the latest Columbia

STAND    FIRM    BEHIND    BRITISH
WAR GOVERNMENT.
London newspapers with one or two
minor exceptions do not regard with
any favor the formation of the new
"National" party in Great Britain,
which is headed by some 27 peers. The
London Daily Telegraph's views are
typical of what appears to be the general opinion of the attempt to oust
the war ^government from control. It
remarks that ever since the Lloyd
George adminstration took office
"there have been hints and rumors of
new political organizations from this'
quarter and that. Among those, indeed, who are able to bring themselves
to, the necessary condition of mind, It
has been much more than a matter of
hints and rumors; schemes of the sort
have been busily discussed and a considerable amount of quiet progress
made with the congenial business of
plotting nnd maneuvering, securicd financial support, winning over this person and getting rid of that. If the nation desired it, or showed any sign of
tolerating it, there might arise tomorrow a promising crop of new parties,
each with its wire-pullers, Us fund, its
cYy, and its eagerness for the political
fray. Such is human nature in that
aspect of it to which our parliamentary
history has accustomed us."
.The Telegraph continues: "We have
in power a government . . . with
the sole object of winning the war, and
doing more to that end than could be
expected of any other attainable sort
of government that could be named.
Patriotic men owe it support for no
other reason whatever than that; but
for that reason, in our opinion, they
owe it all their support while the war
lasts and no other political body has
any claim on them."
GERMANY'S TRADE  ARGUMENT
FOR STARTING WAR
It is one of Germany's habits to
convict itself out of its own mouth.
The chief explanation for the dastardly/ outrages against Belgium and the
barbarous attacks on non-combatants
on land and sea was that Germany
had to fight for its place in the sun,
that it had to have trade and that the
only way to get it was to take up
arms against the rival nations which
were endeavoring lo destroy it. This
Is In face of the fact that German
overseas trade had for years been
growing at a marvelous rate, even in
the British Empire, which German
apologists like to present as having
had a death grip on Germany which
had to be broken at all costs.
But here arises "Vice-Chancellor
llplfferlch before the main committee
of* tho, reichslag to inform Germans
that had it not been for tho outbreak
of war, Germany's trade by 11117, at
the rate at .which it was increasing
before the War, would have reached
the level of Great Britain's trade.
And only the next day another German statesman arose to explain that
Germany simpU had to go to war in
Order to protect Its commerce.
NO JOY  IN  BEING AN  ISLAND IN
AN   OCEAN  OF WAR
: Switzerland has been in a position
OJLiU.fficulty ever since^tht-'.war began
and it docs not. find the ^situation becoming any easier as the struggle
continues. In the beginning of 1915
Switzerland had to appeal to both sets
of belligerents for concessions in the
admission of exports. At that time
the Swiss manufacturer was being
strangled by lack of raw materials. He
could obtain many of them from Austria;, but Austria refused to release
them unless the Swiss would export
flee to the dual monarchy. Switzerland-could get rice only by permission
of the entente and naturally the entente Would not allow the Swiss to
become a channel of food supply to
the Teutons,.
That is one example of the difficulties of the situation In which Switzerland has. been placed. It Is looking
forward anxiously to the coming winter, the question again is one of raw
materials. The country is dependent on
Germany for coal, iron, certain artificial fertilizers, benzine, benzol and;
other indispensable .commodities. Ger
many, is short-of many of these sup
lilies and will agree to fill part of
Switzerland's needs only If the Swiss
will advance "a very, considerable
Joan." Just what the outcome will be
Is. uncertain.
!^"Tho'':Borden government may have
•jpoused the ire. of the profiteers by going after tho bacon magnates, but It
making friends by the hundred among
the people for the course it is following.
The former Russian czar is having
a quiet life, which is more than can be
said of the Russian people who are
now suffering the results of centuries
of czardom,
The kaiser told Ambassador Gerard
that be would remomber the United
States after the war. He made a
similar threat with regard to Canada.
There la reason to believe that both
countries have justification for promising that he will be able to keep his
word, though not in the way he intended.

Now that the Military Service act

of himself and others. It Is important to have sufficient choice of
courses to enable a boy to approach
the problems of study in the way In
which he will afterward approach tho
problems of life. No persons will
watch the experiments of Mr. Flexner
in developing new subjects of secondary school teaching with greater or
more sympathetic interest than the
advocates of old fashioned competitive standards. For every new subject in which the old standards of
power can be developed and tested
gives us a wider choice of methods
of teaching and an opportunity to
appeal to more boys. The schoolmaster who can show us how to make
French teaching a means of developing intellectual power ami persistence, as Latin artd Greek has been the
means of developing them, will confer a boon upon the school and college world.—President Hadley hi Harper's.

The War Needs qf Canada
(By  Benjamin  Apthorp Gould.)
Transportation is the one essential
upon which every effort of the country
to render service In the war is absolutely dependent. It is the basis of all
modern civilization, and Is the one
thing a failure of which would result
in totally nullifying every other activ
ity of tho nation in the direction of
service. This fact has been universally
recognized by all countries nt war,
and the effective marshalling of the
means of transportation has in every
instance received the Immediate attention of every government.
The greatest advantage which Germany had in the war was tho preparation which had been made in adapting
the German railways to war purposes.
A network of strategic railways existed along both the western and eastern
frontiers and these two system? were
connected by trunk lines across the
country which has made possible the
rapid transferring of units from one
front to the other ns occasion required,
as well as the massing of units at any
particular point on cither front. It has
been made evident that one of \he chief
Teb.s|on& why Germany brought on the
war in 1914, instead of waiting until a
later date, was the deBlrc to profit by
the overwhelming transportation advantages existing on the eastern front,
and to anticipate the completion of the
system of strategic railways aoout to
be constructed in Russia along tho
Courland and Poland boundaries.
In Germany all the railways were
government owned and operated. In
France the railways were mostly government owned and operated and those
which still were actually under private
ownership were in effect under government operation on account of the very
close supervision and control maintained over them. The railways of
England were privately owned and
operated, like the railways on this continent, but at the outset of war the immediate need of government control
and direction was recognized and steps
were taken which in effect turned the
railways over to tho government. The
current dividends were guaranteed to
the shareholders, but the railroads nt
once were operated by the railway
managers for government account and
under government direction. The consequence was a remarkably quick and
effective coordination of transportation effectiveness, with the result of
incalculable benefit In permitting the
resources of Great Britain to be mobilized for the war.
In the. United States the progress toward government operation has not
been as greal, but nevertheless one of
the chief things immediately put Into
effect upon entrance into the war was
what was practically a railroad-dictatorship. Mr. Willard, president of the
B. & O., was given authority under
which he has required from the railways that coordination and cooperation
which Is vital at times like these.
In Canada the railways have for
many years been subject lo the control
of a railway commission, which has
undoubtedly been of great value in
preventing selfish exploitation of the
public. I do not think, however, that
this control is sufficient to meet the
extraordinary requirements of these
extraordinary times and In my opinion
there ought to have been at the beginning a long step taken townrd nationalization of the railway, certainly
in operation If not in ownership. The
fact that this was not at once done Is
no reason why it should not.he done
now.
Of tho principal railway systems in
Canada, only the C. P. R. is on a satisfactory financial basis. The Grand
Trunk system has been struggling
along from hand to mouth for many
years, and the National Transcontinental system, intended to be operated
In connection with the Grand Trunk
and finally to be taken over by it, hud
to bo acquired and operated by the
government in order to protect the investment of Canadian public moneys
made in it. The C. N. R. is insolvent
today in spite of the' large subsidies
given It by the government and by the
provinces.
■ There Is little question but what both
the C. N. R. and the Grand Trunk systems must be nationalized in the Immediate future, unless the C. P. R. is
to be allowed to swallow them and to
become such a ruilroad octopus as the
world has never seen. To my mind It
would be a great mistake if at the same
time steps were not taken to nationalize the C. P. R. also. There is nothing
to prevent the same action here as
was taken in Groat Britain, and requisitioning the road for government
uses, at the same time guaranteeing
payment of the current rate o£ dlvt-
dens to all shareholders. The enormous subsidies both In cash and land
grants which have been made to this
railway at the expense of the, people
of Canada are an irrefutable argument
agalpst any accusation of injustice If
such a course should be adopted. My
own belief is that if this should be
done the people of Canada would never,
allow tho C. P. R. to revert to any,
such private ownership as at present
exists.
There is practically no difference of
opinion in the country in regard to tho
necessity of taking over the C. N. R.;
"What has become of the old cult
for plain living and; high thinking?"
"Ought to be stronger than ever now.
Those who.are forced to plain living
arc doing some tall thinking."
Senator Chamberlain, while conducting the food control bill through;
the senate, listened one afternoon with
a bored look to a long and prosy opposition speech.
As he listened he happened.to look
up, and in the strangers' gallery he
saw a deaf man take out an car-'
trumpet and apply It to his ear.
Senator Chamberlain stifled a yawn,
and, nodding towards the deaf man,
said:
"Look at the deaf fellow up there
throwing away his natural advantages."
Patience—Peggy says she has no
faults,
Patrice—Well, she   has,   but   she's
clever enough to cover them up,

the only question which is being debated is at to whether the stock of that
railway has any value nnd should be
paid for by the government. This is
a question of valuation rather than of
policy, because everyone admits that
Canada must not* confiscate private
property Without compensation.
The opponents of railroad nationalization maintain that it is impossible
under public ownership to obtain any
adequate efficiency of operation on account of the political patronage system which would be injected into it.
Scandals in regard to the government
Intercolonial railway are usually quoted in support of this argument. It
seems to me ah almost unbelievable
confessloa of weakness and partisanship on the part of parliament to admit that it-Is incapable of creating a
railway commission which shall operate the railway systems of the country
on a just and non-political basis, and
I for one refuse to believe that It cannot be done. Whether this be so or
not, there is,\ however, no question that
In time of war the needs of coordinated transportation are so great that
much greater control than is being at
present exercised Is required for the
welfare of the country.      ,
There is also the further danger that
the political influence of such huge accumulations of capital as are controlled
by the C. P, R. will be exercised for
selfish ends to far greater damage to
the country than could result from the
dangers of .political patronage under
government operation. The charges
openly made that tho C. P. R. is backing Sir Wilfrid Laurier because It feels
that any further devotion of the
strength and resources of the country
to the war would result in such financial weakening of the nation as to lead
to decreased profits for the road cannot be dismissed as merely political
scandal. No one who has any knowledge of the baneful effect in the history of the country of railroad lobbying can fail to be awake to at least the
possibility of such a danger.
In addition to the railway question; I
believe that the Canadian government
ought to exercise direct control over
the water transportation of the Great
Lakes. The rates here have not, as I
understand it, been controlled by any
supervision other than the operation of
the law of supply and demand. Last
year the freight rate on a bushel of
wheat through the lakes was about 5
cents. This year I am told it is at
present about two and a half cents.
Consequently the owners of lake tonnage have at times profited enormously at the expense of the Canadian consumer and of the allied governments
which have purchased Canadian grain.
The selling value of lake ships has
doubted and. tripled, and, whether or
no undue profit's are at present being
earned, they undoubtedly have been
earned In the past. It seems clear that
In dealing with the question of Canadian transportation the government
should assume immediate authority
over the system of inland waterborne
freight.
Briefly, the whole trend of modern
thought toward transportation is to
hold that It ought not to be the subject
of private business, but is one of the
most important of' public utilities.
Certainly In time of war, when the services of these utilities become of paramount importance, nothing should be
allowed to'stand in the way of the most
complete possible control, coordination
and direction by the government of
every transportation facility.

I'THE SOLDIER'S TOOTH BRUSH!
Do sotdlers use their tooth brushes
other than for legitimate tooth cleaning?"
This is a question asked in a Canadian Associated cable despatch from
London. The writer of the despatch
docs not answer the question in a
straightforward manner. He vaguely
remarks: "Seemingly some men apply the brushes to foreign purposes."
This Is distinctly aggravating, and
sets one wondering what those "foreign purposes" might be.
The word "foreign" may mean anything, or it may mean simply that, our
Tommies in the trenches have acquired tho habits of the foreign land in
which they are fighting.
When the correspondent goes on to
say: "There is a prevalence of the war
bred ailment known as 'trench
mouth,'" one immediately thinks of
"troneh feet."
Arc we to infer that there Is some
connection between these ailmen,ts?
Can it bo that the tooth brush has boon
the agency of transmission from the
one to the—but, no! It cannot be!
Who has not seen a tooth brush—his
own tooth brush—used for purposes
entirely foreign to his Intention when
he purchased It? What man has not
beheld his own kith and kin applying
white polish to a pair-of canvas shocB
with that dental instrument? And the;
only explanation thought necessary:
for the outrage was that the "sponge;
was not good," and It was "clean polish," and would wash off—and, furthermore, that one could not expect to be
too particular when camping out.
Trench life, like summer-camp or
summer-cottage life, Is a step back to
nature and the barbarian. Conventional domestic habits are broken down;
by the absence of the household facilities that foster them. The tamest man
becomes wild and irresponsible.
It was recorded of our prime minis
ter not long ago that while visiting a
military camp he actually cut and buttered his own bread! And who knows,
if the censor had permitted the whole
truth to be told, who knows but that
Sir Robert so far relaxed as to flnfeh
his gravy with the same knife?
The obscurity of the trench tooth
brush story, may, of course, be due to j
the vagaries of the. censor. The Associated Press correspondent may have
written In picturesque language how
Tommle,
"In the spoils *
Between the shells,"
put his tooth brush to most ingenious
though base uses. He may have used'
It.for painting pictures with the various shades of mud for pigments. Then,
again, he may have been put to the
extremity of using the tooth bruSh for
bis halls or his hair, or for sweeping
the floor of his dugout.   '
All of which vain imaginings are due
to the Incomplete or censored despatch
of the'i Associated Press. The corre-'
spondent should be allowed to send a
sepclnl report on the subJectr-Toronto
Globe. ... ;  ■      ..
ENGLISH, SCOTCH AND IRISH
FIGHTERS
An American recently returned from
service at the front with Canadian
troops tells of the difference In preparation for battle of the English soldier as compared with Scotch and Irish. When getting ready for attack,
the English soldier carefully goes
over mechanism of his rifle to see the
locks are working properly, tho barrel free of mud and so forth.
The Scot and the Irishman pay no
attention to mud on lock, stock or barrel, but. each very carefully polishes
his bayonet on his sleeve. The battle
over, the English soldiers may be observed proudly escorting back groups
of prisoners, while tho Scotch and Irish come back empty handed. Asked
about prisoners, they reply: "Prisoners!    Never saw any!"'

!   A   TEUTONIC   MASTERPIECE   |
® : <$>
The editor of the Cologne Volks
Zeitung will never know how funny he
is. His comments on .the Luxburg revelations are a masterpiece of unconscious Teutonic humor.
"More American Prying Into Official
Documents," is the title of the editorial.
Think of it! Here's a country that
actually insists on reading something
not handed to it! In other words; it
is infringing Germany's patent. No
wonder the editor feels ngrieved.
"The state department has again
published documents of which it obtained possession by God knows what
underground methods," he proceeds to
specify.
With what beautiful consistency this
comes from a country with the biggest spy system in the world and the
most complete official lie system!
But note the first intimation of a
doubt ns to the reality of the partnership with God the kaiser always proclaims. "God only knows" how the
wicked American government got the
notes and he won't tell the mllitocracy.
There must be something wrong somewhere.
'Such matters are, of course, not
for publication," he adds in a burst of
confidence.
They certainly are not. It is only
with trouble and expense that newspapers or governments get the documents relating to murder plots for
publication.
When published at all," this Teutonic humorist says, "they may, easily
hurt susceptibilities by some turn or
twist, like private conversations, which
though not ill-meant, may work like
poison, when reported by the tattle of
third parties/'
They certainly hurt susceptibilities.
Also those who arc not expecting to
be hurt. Witness Luxburg's dismissal
and the little surprise bonfire of German establishments at Buenos Ayres*
"By some turn or twist." Like that,
for instance, Bismarck gave the report
of the Ems interview, thus precipitating the Franco-Prussian war. The
Germans are great on turning and
twisting. But no American would
have the art or lack the art to touch
ono letter of that statement of rare
lucidity—^"sink wlthouj a trace.".
Not ill-meant;"'of course not. The
idea was to sink the little ships and
murder the little people of the little
nation, even jovial fashion.
"Such a poisoning process was, of
course, the object of the Washington
government."
"Again the note of moral indignation and the cry of outrage from a
poison monopolist who believes his
privilege corruptly infringed. It is
really too funny for anything—except
for an editorial in a German newspaper.—Chicago Herald.
|   COMPARED TO CONSTANTI-
{ NOPLE
A Canadian correspondent is indignant at the mere suggestion that any
person should imagine that there are
worse streets anywhere than In Montreal. He wants to know where in
Boston anyone is going to equal St.
Catherine street, Montreal. St. Catherine street, he insists, after -rain Is
Venetian in the extent of its water,
even if it does not resemble it in any
single other thing. Anyone who knows
St. Catherine street will admit this
without question. But It must be observed that this paper was writing of
roadways and not of practical jokes.
If you want to equal St. Catherine
street you must apply to the municipality of Constantinople, where they
don't worry about such things at all.

(By Nelles U. Fallis.)
It is always pleasant to get hold of
good book, when you know or have
over seen its author. This Is why I
welcomed a volume sent to mo the
other day entitled "How to See a Play"
by Prof. Burton. Just a few years
ago when I was a student at one of
our Canadian universities, 1 had the
privilege of hearing Prof. Burton lecture on  the theatre  of today.
When t opened the book I expected
that the author would try and impress
the theatre goer of today, with the
necessity of choosing his entertain-
eiit wisely, i remember that in his
lecture one of his startling sayings
was this: "Take the theatre prayerfully. Never mind what your parents
may say about the advisability of attending the theatre. We are, here for
haractcr development and a little t'ui
on the side." This language from
professor p.u,t things in a new light foH
me, It is'hard for many people to^j
day to gotMvovcr the old Idea which
they inherited from their fathers, thu.t.1
the mere act of entering a theatre is
committing' a sin of a serious kind.
But as the eminent scholar stated in
his hook, the theatre is simply a place
where people may be made to think
and feel. A good play can show us
the truth about life, or present the
poetry ot life, and so bring about the
enlargement of human sympathies. It
can leave us awakened, stimulated human beings. A bad play, and by a bad
play I mean one that is seamy for
scaminess' sake, can poison our minds
and injure our souls. Wherefore we
need to select our plays on the ground
of conscience, that is, to refuse to attend a performance which comes to
us with a had reputation.
And when yon come to think of it,
the drama, which is such a potent
agent for educating and amusing human beings, will never be delivered
from vulgarity until the people generally, and especially those who mould
public opinion, take their plays prayerfully—Prof. Burton did not mean by
this striking phrase that a healthy desire for amusement should be cut out
of our lives. Nor does he mean that
anyone should be so namby-pamby as
to refuse to see evil passions delineated on the stage, We are permitted to
see evil every day and It is by coming in contact with evil and seeing Us
ravages that our sympathies for the
good ought, to be developed. Many
contemporary plays referred to in this
book have unhappy endings. In some
of them evil is even allowed to triumph.
But suppose evil does triumph as in
"The Easiest Way," there may be
even In such a, sad ending to a play
not only a faithful presentation of Just
the sort of thing that Is going on
about us every day, but a powerful
sermon to excite our sympathies with
our tempted, or fallen brothors,
"; Tt, will, be a long time before tho
masses of our population are able to
enjoy the theatre as a national institution. But much progress has been
made lu the last quarter century. The
fact is now coming to be realized that
the drama bos a direct, and vital Influence upon the civilization of the
Educators are assuming today
that the playhouse, nlotig.Wlth the
school, library, newspaper and church,
ls*'ohe of the flve'inlghty-soiilal sources in suggesting Ideas to a nation and
creating ideals. In order that this
mighty social force may be shaped to
right ends and uses, it should gradually become an enterprise conducted by
the people and la the interests of the
people, born of their life.and cherished  by their love.
This can never happen, of course,
until the theatre trust and the control
of the business by those whose only
ideal is the mighty dollar are done
away with; until we have a people's
price for a people's entertainment, instead of a price prohibitive to four-
fifths of the people. Is not this fact
an explanation for the enormous
growth of the moving picture typo of
amusement; I think, though, that the
moving picture, much ns it has injured
the old line theati'3, will never supersede it.
one the greatest mistakes the
church ever made was in allowing the
drama to pass from uuder Is Jurisdiction. Perhaps tins had to come in
the course of evolution, but I cannot
help but wish that the church, and by
this 1 mean the Christian men and women in every community, were able
to use this great educating force today, l am glad that Prof. Burton has
given a history of the rise und growth
of the English drama, in order to Impress his readers with the fact thai
the theatre ought to be devoted to the
greatest good of the greatest number,
because it was originally designed for
that purpose.
If wo begin to look for the origin of
the ISngllsh drama, we must not seek
to trace it back to the pluys of Greece
ami Rome. It Is a home-grown product and it arose in the bosom of the
church, at file time of the Norman
conquest. It began In the .pious at
tempts of the clergy to Interest the
people In tho stories of the Bible, especially those connected with Master
and Christmas. None of the peasants
could read; none could understand the
Latin litany, but all could follow a
tableau representing I lie Shepherds
visiting I lie manger on Christmas
morning. All could follow the story
and appreciate the dramatic spectacle
given in the church on Easter morning, when the women inarched up the
nuiin aisle, halted before the representation of an empty tomb, and held
converse with the nngol of the sepulchre, in this simple way, then, our
English drama had its origin, as an
educational extra grafted to the liturgy of the church.
In the process of limb It was amplified and grow more ami mure hi favor
with the people. But owing to the
big crowds that thronged the cathedrals on these special days, owing to
pocket picking and violence—for there
is always a disreputable element in
every crowd, even u church-going one
—the clergy found it necessary to isolate tho plays from the regular service of the mass. The players gave
the simple performance In the churchyard, but here UlBO the multitude;
trampled the .muss and did other violence; so in the thirteenth century
the rude, early English drama wasi
removed from the precincts of tin1
church altogether, was divorced from
the church, carried to the tq'wn square
and enme Into tiie hands of the town
guild. '*
Hut from.1300 jtt teou the'druma of
EJngland was essentially religious. All
the plays were reproductions from Bi-!
ble stories. Flays relating to Adam
and Eve, to Noah and his wife were
very popular. On Corpus Christ! day
30 or 40 plays were presented in which
the whole history of the Bible was reviewed, from the fall of Lucifer to the
resurrection of Christ.
Many of these plays were filled with
comic touches, they took tremendous
liberties with the Bible characters,
yet they were of real religious value.
In many of them the simplicity and
sincerity were perfect. In the play
Abraham and Isaac, there Is a wonderfully vivid scene descriptive of the
journey of the aged patriarch and his
little son to the place of sacrifice, the
boy asks the most pathetic questions
and continually says, "I would God my
mother were here on this hill." No
play that I have ever read is more
piercing in its simple pathos or more
beautiful in its Interpretation of the
love of parents and children. We can
easily imagine how the beasants were
Impressed by that play-sermon in the
middle ages.
And if the modem church could present powerful sermons in dramatic
form today in its own chain of theatres it would increase its Influence n
hundred-fold and heat the devil at
what bet has long led some high-
minded people to consider his own peculiar game, play-acting.

PLACE OF WOMEN IN
BRITAIN  AFTER THE WAR
LONDON, England—At the recent
conference on reconstruction problems
at the Hampstead.Gurden suburb, Miss
Mary Maeorthur gac,e an address on
the industrial future of 'women after
the war.
None of the changes that had been
brought about by the war were, she
said, greater than the unchanged status and position uf women. It was
not, however, the women that had
changed, but men's conception of,
them. The uld idea ha dboen that
woman's place was the home, but those
who said this usually meant that woman's place was the kitchen. Now
they said that her place was the workshop. It was no. lunger the hand that
ocked the cradle that ruled the world,
but the hand that drilled the shell. The
number of women engaged in industrial occupations had increased by 30
per cent since the war. A million women were now doing the work formerly done by men. This influx had not
bjien an unmixed blessing, ..It was
true that the output had been satisfactory, the status of. women, had improved and also the stjuujai'd of remuneration, but at the '.same lime
much of the work was unsuitable for
women and was performed under unsatisfactory conditions, in spite uf all
the apparent enthusiasm for welfare,
factory legislation had been scrapped,
for a time night.work had been universal, work had been carried on for
seven days a .week with one Sunday
off in a month. In one factory as
much as 30 consecutive hours had been
worked, and instead of the eight-hour
day they had the..eight-hour break.
In the reconstruction of Industry
they should  aim  at securing as wide
field as possible consistent with the
maintenance of the welfare of the
workers. Women must be employed
at wages that would ensure decent
livelihood, at uijuul wages for equal
work, under conditions that would
promote and nut retard their full development. This could be brought
about lu twp ways, either by trade union organization, or by state action,
ami'state action would U> the better..
Trade unionism fur vcmen-had made
great progress during the war. It was
a good thing that women should belong to the same trade unions as men,
where possible, but i must not be a
paper membership. They must be encouraged to take an active part in
their union, or they would lose the
benefit uf its educational influence.
Trade unions would play a most important part in reconstruction, and
state action would be supplementary.
They needed a new consolidating factory act which would secure a 48-
hours week; no fines and deductions;
no truck; improved sanitary standards and more women factory inspectors instead of welfare workers. Educational reforms must be made, including the raising of the school age
to Ifi. The nation had everything to
gain and nothing to lose by giving women their fair rlinre lu imperial poll-
tics.
]     EDUCATION OF GERMANY.
Every policy of the German government for more than three years has
been based upon the belief that might
alone could prevail. The atrocities
committed In Belgium and France, the
typnton destruction of cities, the Lusi-
tania massacre, the" air raids on unfortified cities, ..the murder of noncomuat-
qnts, the.attacks on hospitals and hospital ships, ruthless submarine warfare, the driving of French and Belgian
civilians into exile, the conspiracies
against the peace and safety of neutrals—every act of the German government fias'neen a deification of the
doctrine of might.
It Is only' because might has failed
that the imperial foreign secretary
begins to realize that it was doomed to
fail from the start and that right also
must be 'considered in shaping the.
policies of government.
The education of Germany is a painful and costly process, but now that
.lunkertum Is beginning to learn, there
Is all the more reason why tho instruction should lie thorough. When Ger-a
many has been-compelled by crushing
defeat to understand that it is right
that makes might atid not might that
makes right, there will be security in
the world for honest people.—New
Tdrk  World.

prevent,the attainment of the object
sought under the Military Service Act,
indicates that the majority of the delegates and the executive council realised the gravity of the issue the congress had to decide. Faced with the
responsibility of aligning Canadian
labor aitainst the democratic cause and
of opposing the enforcement of an act
passed under a constitution based on
the principle of popular self-government, the congress did not allow Itself
tp.be^drawit Into inconsistency.
Canadian trade unionists, in common with those of Britain and the
United Slates, haVe appreciated the
significance of the struggle proceeding in Europe. They have refused
to follow the extremists who gave
vent to the foolish doctrines that
would identify the citizen armies ol"
Hiitain and tiie Dominions with the
lustruments of Prussian militarism;
and that would reduce constitutional'
government to anarchy, in the midst
of a war for democracy, by placing
sectional and minority opinions in a
position lu defy the will of the majority. The interests and existence
of labor are bound up in tbe interests and existence of tbe nation, as
the greater contains the less. The
national existence at this crucial-
time—or all that makes it worth
while—Is involved in the success of
the Allied cause on the battlefields
of Europe.
That the congress should have
signified its opposition to conscription is better developed In the Gcr-
niiin  empire than anywhere .else.    It'

FORTS ON SCHELDT
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 1— The Tele-,
gtiiuf gives particulars of the adventure of the Belgian motor boat Scul-
.dlsh, which left Antwerp on Sunday
and arrived in Walvoorden, Fast Zee-
land, in Flanders, by way of Holland,
with Belgians for the Belgian army.
The Scaldbih belongs to the Belgian
government, but was confiscated by
the Germans, who rephrjstenod her the
Sehokio and fitted her luxuriously for
.the use of the highest officers. Tho
Belgian pilot, vnn Dingen, always
known us „".lof," was appointed cap-
lain because he knew the river intimately. He frequently had the gover-
nor-general aboard, and generally
floated tiie admiral's flag, for which
every guard un the Schedlt and the
Willebrouk eanal showed respect. He
determined on a serious nttempt to
convey Belgian civilians to Holland,
these men being so weary of German
tyranny that they were willing to risk
their lives to escape. "Jof" had orders
to take Governor-General Falkcnhaus
from Antwerp to Brussels last Mon-
'day. He reckoned if he cruised northward on Sunday the guards on the
Scheldt would think the governor-
general was taking the trip to tho
frontier along the forts. He started on
Sunday at midday, hoisting" the admiral's flag. The Belgian i-f Mans
were hidden below the deck and the
captain and two assistants alone remained on deck. They passed the
forts or South Maria and Phillip do
T'addro by l.lefkensock and Duel, tbe
German flag being saluted everywhere
and the soldiers presenting arms. At
Duel tbe whole guard turned out.
Close lo the frontier the motor stopped,
the petrol being almost exhausted, A.
German patrol boat approached, but
no assistance being asked, apparently
did not dare to come alongside a boat
flying the admiral's flag. A friendly
salute by ".lot" indicated that he did
not require assistance. His salute was
relumed. By good luck the motors
were made to work n little longer and
the tld/ also helped the vessel ultimately lo reach Holland, where after
a visit <d' exnminntioa by the Dutch
naval authorities enough petrol was
obtained to enable the boat to reach
Valvoorden, where the captain and
.jMiHHpugerw .were ■..heartily welcomed
and. ,c<uiH;rai plated, on the success of
ill" 'daring' and dangerous adventure.-

subordinates the rights and activities of the citizen, not alone In regard to military service though in
that more evidently, .tp the ujms and
umbilicus of • the* • state; it Involves
the domination of a militaristic and
bureaucratic governing class by
whom the conscription is applied and
whose privileged members reap its
fruits.
The system of conscription, military and industrial is what the
Allies are fighting to defeat. Without it the Prussian junkers would
have been powerless. But in order
to defeat it—and In that defeat Canada must not be prevented from taking the share allotted to .her by
every obligation of duty and honor—
It has become necessary to mobilize
intelligently the man-power of the
democratic nations.   This it is which
necessitates the draft .in Canada as
It has previously necessitated it in
Britain.
The Labor Congress could have
gone .further without inconsistency
and expressed its approval of a course
for the adoption of which thousands
of trade union members have not
waited In order to serve, their country. And in so doing It would have
been opposing conscription in its
most violent and dangerous manifestation.—Winnipeg Free Press,
Mrs. Napoleon Martin of Dover
township, entered action against the
sons of a neighbor because they killed
her geese. The boys were ordered to
pay ?7.5o for the geese and JIB costs,
hut Mrs. Martin was then ordered to
pay ?5 and $2.50 costs for letting the
geese run at large.

True Economy
lies, in Wise Spending
TRUE economy is not in denying ourselves the necessaries of life or
even some .of the so-called luxuries. The housewife who sets a too
skimpy table runs the risk of impairing the health of her family and
retarding the growth of her children. This means doctors' bills and an
underdeveloped citizenry, which is in itself this worst kind of waste. If the
family attempts to cut down on shoes and clothing below their legitimate
needs the result ts loss of self-esteem and often results in sickness. This
means loss of time, doctors' bills again, and lowered efficiency. Just now
the world demands that every one shall produco something and produce
the maximum of whatever useful thing they are doing. The husband or
provider who thinks it wise to ask his family to live in poor quarters,
without modern comforts and conveniences; who refuses to buy a piano
for his daughter's musical instruction and entertainment; who denies his
son the opportunity to go to high school or college and who attempts to
put the entire family on what he terms a "war time basis" is making the
most serious ,mistake possible. He is actually guilty of what might be
termed a moral crime, because he is driving the young folks away from
home for entertainment and lowering the living standards of his family.
He thereby helps to lower the living standards of the entire country, and
you cannot lower a country's living standards without giving that country
a serious setback and placing it under a great handicap in the world
struggle. Nol This is no time for hoarding. Economy does not,mean
penury. Neither idoes patriotism mean "panic-stricken." Keep your head.
Live decently. .Don't talk in a nervous strain. Work hard and learn how
to spend wisely by reading The Daily News Want Ads every .day.
The Wise Economist Reads The
Daily News Want Ads Regularly
For the buyor, runter, hpmsit.kor or any on. elm Tho Daily News
Want Ads will provo an invaluable guide to intelligent spending and true
economy. The practise of reading them regularly will bring to light
countless opportunities for securing the things you want at .the greatest
possible saving of time and money. .Because of the well recognized fact
that results from The Daily News Want Ads fare practically certain, the
vast majority of folks when they have something to.sell, a house, room or
apartment to rent, or desire to communicate in any way with the permanent, earning classes of Kootenay and Boundary, use The Daily News Want
Ads. It therefore is important .that you include in your plans for truly
patriotic economy a regular reading of The Daily News -Want Ada in
order that you may be able to do your part intelligently.

Many Canadians Have Joined Various
Naval   Services  Since War
Began.
OTTAWA, Oct. 1,—Since war began
Canada's men of fighting ago have
paid considerable attention to the navy.
Naval service has become an important 1'eaturo of the nation's* war activity.
From the start of the war 5300 officers and men have joined the Canadian naval service, cruising in home
waters. Canadians to tho number of
400 are officers in tho motor boat patrol section of the royal navy, which
Includes In Its duties the exciting task
of looking-for U-boats off the British
coast and elsewhere. Thirty-six cadets have gone from the Royal Naval
college at Halifax to be officers in the
royal navy and 40 arc taking the
course of training there now before
joining the navy,
Canadians are particularly well
fitted for such duties as those of the
motor boat patrol service, owing to
tho abundance of waterways and the
great vogue of water sports in summer
throughout the country. Canada is
doing much essential work for the allied cause through the medium of naval service,

HERBERT E.BURBlDGE STORES COMMISSIONER
this established, standard  or  be considered adulterated.
The correspondence of the division
of chemistry during the past year has
contained many complaints regarding
these chop feeds. In certain cases It
■was stated tho feed was refused by all
classes of stock and only eaten with
repugnance after being mixed with
bran or middlings. In any other cases,
persistency in feeding the material resulted in the death of swine, calves
and poultry, apparently partly from
starvation and partly from digestive
disorders brought on by the low nutritive value of the feed and its coarse,
fibrous nature.
All Samples Below Standard.
A few samples of these feeds respecting which complaints had been
made, were collected in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, and submitted to analysis in the experimental
farm laboratory.
While it is not claimed that these
analyses were typical of chop feeds as
sold generally throughout the Dominion, it is highly significant that not
one of the seven samples examined
contained the minimum percentage of
protein required by the standard, that
they were all exceedingly low in fat,
and that they with one exception contained an excess of ribre, three of them
over 20 per cent. Taken as a series
they were of extremely low feeding
value and several of them were practically worthless.
These feeds ranged in price from
$20 to $35 per ton. In a few of them
there was a sprinkling of corn, but in
the majority of them the proportion
of meal was very small; they were all
doarse ami, fibrous, 'ind'icatiing that
they had been largely made from light
oats or contained a heavy admixture
of oat hulls, mill waste and other
worthless offal. Some of them contained a number of weed seeds, fragments of straw, etc. There is no won
der that sloe]; refused them. Indeed,
it is well nigh impossible to Imagine
how they could he used profitably if
purchased at any price.
Ground or crushed oats from good
quality grain make a nutritious feed—
though tor young pigs and calves the
hulls should be sifted out. While not
a high protein cencentrate, it possesses
many excellent qualities as a basis of
tho meal portion of the ration. Of all
the cereals, oats are the most readily
and successfully grown throughout
Canada, and there is no reason why
the progressive farmer with foresight
should not be independent, of these
purchased chop feeds. With a grain
grinding mill on the farm there should
he little necessity to buy chop.
There are many excellent feeds on
the market, the price of which Is more
or less in accord with their nutritive
value. These should he/bought, rather
than chop feeds, to supplement the
home grown feeds and fodders. At the
best, chop is but a low grade feed. If
necessit y occasions the purchase of
chop, careful examination of the proffered feed is important; unless finely
ground those containing an excess of
hull can he readily distinguished by
the experienced farmer.

QUICK RESULTS
MANY COMPLAINTS ARE
MADE ABOUT CHOP FEEDS
The term "chop" or "chop feeds" is
is a general one used to denote a class
ot feeds which are essentially oat products. Mill feed, cattle feed, oat feed,
moulec chop are common names for
these feeds used by the local grist mill,
while somo ot tho larger mills put out
this product In quantities under specific brand names. Cortaln of these
feeds consist entirely of crushed or
ground oats, others consist almoBt.enr
tirely of the byproducts of the oatmeal
mill (Including oat hulls), while others
contain a certain admixture of corn,
barley, etc. They are extremely variable In composition. The Commercial
feeding StuCfs act, under the administration ot tho department ot Inland
revenue, does not require any registration nor any guarantee as to their
percentages of protein, tat or • fibre.
However, the Adulteration act has established a standard of quality for certain grain products, and it states t^at
"chop feed is whole grain of one'or
more kinds more or less finely ground
and contains not less than ten (10) per
cent pritein, not less than two (2) per
cont of fnt and not more than ten
(10) per cent of crude fibre." All chop
feeds not carrying a guaranty as to
nutritive value (minimum percentages
of protein and fat and maximum percentage of fibre) ought to conform to

REFUGEES FIND WARM ,4
WELCOME  IN  SWITZERLAND
ZURICH, Switzerland—The anniversary of the foundation of the Swiss
Federation in 1291, was celebrated on
Aug. 1 In Switzerland by a series of
festivities, most oE them taking the
form of concerts and exhibitions, for
the inci casing of the funds of the
Red Cross society and for the refugees
who are arriving daily from the occupied districts of France and Belgium. When it is remembered that
nearly 500,000 of these refugees have
passed through Switzerland, since
October, 1016', one can form some idea
of the magnitude of the task of caring
for them. * On their arrival the refugees are divided Into two parties, one
of which is received nt Schaffhausen
and the other at Zurich; and about a
thousand arrive at these two places
every day.
Switzerland has displayed a magnificent generosity in  welcoming  these
homeless,   penniless   strangers.     Several    towns,    notably    Schaffhausen,
Zurich,   St.   Gall   and   Geneva,   are
special  centres  for  this  relief  work.
At   Zurich   a   committee   has   been
formed   consisting  of   the   Rev.   William  Cuendet,   pastor  of  the   French
Church,   chairman;   Messrs.   A,   Stoll,
S. Wixler and F. Knochel, and Mes-
dames    Echwyzer-Ellsworth,    Ceresol
and Knuchel.   They are assisted by a
devoted band of some 200 voluntary ]
workers, men and women, who meet ,
the trains on their arrival and look I
after the refugees until they leave for i
Geneva.   Every train is in the special '
charge of a Swiss officer and a small !
detachment  of  soldiers,  who  receive :
the fugitives on the German frontier, j
and   escort   the   train    right    across
Switzerland to the French frontier.   A '■
small group of nurses also accompa- I
nles the party.   The trains arrive at !
Zurich a little after 7 each morning,
with from 400 to COO people, and remain until 10:30 In the station.   During this time the occupants are fed
nnd   the   most   necessitous.   receive
fresh clothing,   for none  of  the  old
men, women and children,  and  very
often little babies, have a change of
clothing, and of course, not a penny.
The Germans see that they bring no
valuables out with  them.    Formerly,
tho people were allowed to keep their
watches but now even those are taken
away.    Their ear-rings,  too,  the one
precious    possession    of    the    French
peasant   woman,    are    taken    when
found.  Some of the women told how
they   hid   these   trinkets    by    putting
them in glass bottles and buying them
In their own gardens.
Tiie little badies are washed and
cared for in a railway carriage specially equipped for the purpose. They
are given hot milk and all their clothing is changed for new and fresh
things, old clothes, being given back
to the mother In a bag to be washed.
The older children, and men and
women, wash on the platform, plenty
of water, soap and towels being provided for that purpose.
A nurse and an orderly are assigned to each carriage. The people
are taken in groups of fifty to the
station restaurant and given breakfast. This meal and the sympathetic surroundings soon loosen their
tongues and they begin to relate their
experiences. At the beginning of the
flight of the refugees these stories
were dreadful, even now they are bad
enough. The earlier ones came
through literally paralyzed with terror, incapable of thought or action,
and absolutely In tatters. Some had
hidden in caves and expected to he
killed at any moment. Their recollections weru not always very clear,
but this was quite comprehensible
when one thinks what they had gone
through.
A French ecclesiastic, who came
from a small town near Arras, said
that of the 1800 Inhabitants there 30
only were left. Most of the evacues
belong to the peasant class. One
poor man brought his shovel with
him; he said that the Germans had
taken his little bit of land from him,
but he could not part with his shovel.
An old woman told how they had
taken her cow, which knew her voice
and would follow her around. She was
under the impression that it had been
bought, as she showed a piece of paper
the Germans had given her in exchange. On examination, it proved to
be simply a line from the commandant that they had requisitioned "the
cow.
The three hours of rest, cleanliness
and good foot! suffice lo make a great
change in tho appearance of the refugees and all look rested and encour-
ago"d. Just before the train leaves, a
party of Swiss soldiers assemble on
tho platform and sing patriotic songs.
it is evening when the train arrives at
Geneva, where great crowds are waiting eager to welcome tie travelers.
There they were taken to a temperance hotel for dinner; the tables are
decorated with fresh flowers and a
•good substantial meal is sorved. The
night is spent in various schoolhouses
set apart for that purpose.
The next morning they leave by
tramway, again with military escort,
for Annamasse. The moment when
the refugees find themselves again on
French soil, is an affecting one.
"Ladles and gentlemen, we are in
France," the conductor remarks
quietly. Some weep, others sing the
"Marseillaise," whilo a few of the
more vigorous give vent to their feelings by shouting "Down with tho
Boche!" At Annamasse, they leave
the train and are taken to the city
hall, where preparations have been
made for transporting them to various
parts of France.
Most of the refugees come from the
occupied and devastated districts of
northern France and Belgium. A few
come from concentration camps.
Numbers ulso of totally disabled tjpl-
diers come through from time to time.
