WINNIPEG, June 5.—"I(t Is much hotter to move slowly and to move wisely,'' was the advice of prof. Richie England of Montreal to the National Council of Women at thd afternoon session today when a resolution advocating the removal, for the present, of all duty on foodstuffs, including dairy products, was about to go through unchallenged. The resolution was introduced by MrB. N. R. Jamieson of Calgary on behalf of the Culgnry local council. Prof. Currie Derick of Montreal pointed out that such a move would be class legislation and would leave the farming communlfy open to competition, while at the same, time the manufacturer was under protection of the tariff. Tho speaker also opposed the resolution on the grounds that. It bordered too closely on party politics and that it should not havo been discussed in the local council. It was lost when put to the convention. "Conservation ana thrift," the third plank In the proposed platform of tho council, was the subject of discussion during a large part of the session and was dealt with under the twofold caption of "Conservation of Food and Child Life." A resolution was passed urging the government to prohibit for the present the slaughter of lambs and heifer calves not diseased. The council reaffirmed a former resolution forwarded to the government asking that the use of grain and fruits in tho production of alcoholic beverages bo prohibited. A motion put before the morning session asking that the council undertake to affix the union label to all Us printed matter was defeated after a lengthy discussion. Dr. Adam Shortt of Ottawa Introduced a resolution favoring the nationalization of all coalfields in i'anada. the appointment of a food and fuel controller; the public ownership of cold storage plants and canneries and tho passage of an order in council giving municipalities the right to operate coal and wood yards, and government control of the milling industries. This resolution was referred to the resolution committee, and was then introduced by Mrs. John Dick of Winnipeg, on behalf of Mrs. Shortt, asking for conscription of wealth along with the conscription of man power; for adequate pensions for mothers who give their sons in the war and for adequate pensions for war widows based on the needs and not on the military rank.

LAURIER REPLIES TO BORDEN TODAY (Continued from Page one.) the inside service, but the case of the letter carriers was under the consideration of the postmaster general. So far as the outside service was concerned, the matter would be dealt with In the. supplementary estimates. Wants Minimum of $800. H. B. Morphy Haid the minister had not been any too genorous to the so- called under class. Ho did not see haw anyone,, especially a married man with children, could live on $600 year. He thought the minimum should bo $800. He'believed, howover, that thero were many young single men in the inside service physically fit who ought to be at the front and he asked if the intention was that these should receive the Increases under the'proposed legislation. He asked if the measure was to be applied to men who, instead of fighting tholr country's battles, were staying here and drawing their salaries while tho boys were dying at the front. He also inquired If Increases applied to the men who bravely wont from the civil servico to (he front. ; Were they watched nnd protected?' \ Sh* Thomas replied that as to safeguarding tho rights of those who had gone overseas, he thought that thero were orders in council which had re gard to those rights. It went without saying that the position of anyone overseas would be held for him. Sir Sam Hughes asked if the civil servants at the front received the statutory increases the same as those who remliined nt home. He. had been told they would not. Sir Thomas said that an order in council had been passed to provide for statutory Increases being given them. With regard to enlistment from the civil service, ho said that, the totnl from the inside service nt Ottawa was DSC, or a total inside and outside of 3308. If the compulsory service legislation were passed, then the civil service would be subject to Its provisions. J. G. Turriff thought it would cause Ill-feeling that a civil servant who joined the first contingent should get both civil and military pay while others did not. Hon. G. P. Graham commended the minister for allowing civil servants to be promoted from one class to another class without passing an academic examination. If he had his way promotions would be altogether on the recommendation of the deputy. An individual least competent to pass an academic examination might be the one best, fitted for promotion. Tho same upplied in any business. Wants Them Outside Politics. Dr. Chahot declared that It would be in the best interests of'the country if the clyil' service, both inside and outside were entirely under tho control of commissions and beyond the pale of politics both in regard to appointment and promotion. A. E. Frlpp agreed that It would be the greatest mistake in the world to do away with the recommendations of the deputy minister. It v/tiniii mean thrtt members, for tho tlmo,,being, will he deluged with retpiests of civil servants for promotion. My five years experience," said Mr, Fripp, "loads .me to believe that it 'would bo in the interests of the service If the civil servants were removed from politics and disfranchised. That Is my judgment. If the minister would go that far and not allow a civil servant to vote or have any interest in the country politically. I think it would bo to their Interests as well as to the Interests of the country at large. At present there i» a certain influence unnecessarily brought to bear on the local members that I think should be avoided." Tho resolution secured second reading and the bill Introduced. Urges Separate Fisheries Department Clarence Jamieson of Digby moved an amendment to a motion to go into supply, seconded by H. H. Stevens, Vancouver, thut "in the opinion of this house, In view of the food shortage, tho necessity of developing Canada's supplies and resources, a separate de partnient of fisheries with a separate minister be created." Canada's fisheries, Mr. Jamieson contended, were the greatest In the world, and yet, while the output In tho l'nlted States in lfllti had totalled a value of $7»i,t)00,00i>. In Japan $45,000.- 000, in Great Britain $75,000,00 and In Norway $50,000,000, Canada's output for that year had been only $35,800,000. As compared with the output In 1896, tho value of the Canadian fisheries had increased in lfllli by 75 per cent, but the market price for fish since On June 18 the annuul Baptist convention will commence In Edmonton, This will be the 19th assembly for Alberta, and about 150 delegates are expected to be In attendance.

A REFERENDUM IS OUT OF THE QUESTION Politicians who are afraid that they might lose votes by declaring for or against conscription and men who are oposed to conscription are crying out for a referendum. The vote of the Montreal city council yesterday was typical, the English-speaking members votlnj for Sir Robert Borden's policy and the French-Canadian councillors voting for a referendum. When the enemy Is at tho door, when delay may mean defeat and will certainly postpone victory, il is no time to talk nf referendums and plebiscites. One might as. well hold a referendum in the fire brigade while the city Is burning down. It is the political Bhufflers, the dodgers, the evaders who -would procrastinate by means of a referendum while the lives of Canadians are being sacrificed at tho front and the cause of civilization and the freedom of the world is at stake. A referendum would involve disfranchisement of the soldiers, or pnr- Ital disfranchisement, while an attempt, extending over months, was being made to take their votes. Everyone in British Columbia knows' how long It takes to secure a vote overseas and that it is impossible to take anything like a full vote. As conditions are tbday the number of soldiers who could vote would be much less than when the British Columbia vote was taken. A greater proportion of the men aro now In the trenches. But every slacker, every anti-Britisher, every pro-German would vote ln safety behind tho ranks of tho men who are dying for them.. A referendum under such conditions Is out of the question. HAVE THE SUBMARINE MENACE IN HAND. A London forecast of tomorrow's weekly report of losses duo to submarine attacks on merchant shipping states thnt in some respects lt will be the best since unrestricted submarine warfare wns inaugurated. When Lloyd George stnted a couple of weeks ago that the Hritlsh navy had made such progress that the menace was well in hand results were awaited with interest and there hns been a great deal of speculation as to tho means which is being employed to cope with the undersens craft. In this connection a correspondent of the London Westminster Gazette states that a new invention Is boing usod which is nearly infallible, which takes only a comparatively short time to come Into effect and which "wears out" the submarines. Tlio plan is described as '"a model of simplicity" and Is stated to be the invention of an American who has worked "along independent lines." Whether this particular invention is being used or not, it now seems clear that the edge has beon taken off the submarine campaign. It must not be forgotten, however, lhal the destruction of shipping lias been so large and the demand for tonnage is so immense that tbe situation will continue to be Horlous until the shortage of ships nnd foodstuff* lias beon overcome, by Increased production and the exorcise of strict economy in consumption of supplies by civilians, NAVAL ATTACK ON THE BASE AT ZEEBRUGGE The bombardment of Zeebrugge by n Hritlsh fleet, while little is said about it iu despatches, Is one of the most Interesting naval developments in months. It means that the British fleet, overcoming mines and submarines and facing the heavy handicap of counter-shelling by land batteries, has succeeded iu getting near enough to the enemy's coaHt to bombard It. Zeebrugge is the German submarine and destroyer base in Belgium and for the time being is enemy territory. It Is defended by overy means in tho ene my's power. f Reports say that the bombardment was effective and that the British ships, which were apparently large vessels, ns heavy guns wore employed, escaped practically unscathed. They wpre assisted by a heavy fog, which handicapped the batteries on shore. The raid opens up possibilities of a powerful attack on the coast of Germany. If the mines and submarines defending Zeebrugge can be passed it would seem that favorable conditions will make it possible to. bombard the German coast further nortnv^ 1 am a slice of bread. I am wasted onco a day by -13,000,- 000 people of Britain. I am "the bit left over;" the slice eaten absent-mindedly whon really I wasn't needed; I am the waste crust. If you collected-me and my companions for a whole week you would find that we amounted to 9380 tons of good bread—waste! Two shiploads of good bread! Almost as much—striking an average—as 20 German submarines could sink—even If they had good luck. London Dally Mirror. A campaign against waste Is being conducted in Great Britain ond the above is one of the striking appeals which are being issued to the people, It shows, too, how great a total a little wasted here and a little wasted thero amounts to. Canadians by the exercise of thrift can increase tho amount of food available for shipment for tho uso of the entente armies and people. It is significant lhat after nil tho noise that the anti-registrationiats raised In the United States the actual registration passed off quietly yesterday. Germany expended two airplanes and their crows, with the net result of killing two Britishers and wounding 29, In the raid yesterday on the Thames. More than 10,000,000 young Americans enroled yesterday for war service. The Germans will have to find something stronger than "Gott strafe America" to express their feelings now. Thnt German paper which says that tho new order giving* amnesty to Gorman deserters if they return to the army is not a sign of need of mon but is a "noble hearted act -by tho emperor" either has nn acute sense of humor or none at all. The Krench government, ns was expected, has triumphed over thoso who, wittingly or unwittingly, aro traitors to their country and would bring about premature pi-ace. Premier Ribot's administration is today stronger than ever. Under conscription essential industries such as coal and metal mining, smelting, agriculture and transportation will not be depleted of men as they havo beon under tbo voluntary system. Men engaged in tho necessary Industries will lie exempt. COMMUNICATION REIBIN ANSWERS CRITIC OF BREWSTER GOVERNMENT To the Editor of The Daily News,— The medium of your columns having been utilized by Mr. Stenson to voice his strictures upon my recent appointment as a notary public by the presont idministratlon at Victoria, possibly you will feel prepared to accord a similar privilege to me, in reply. The secrecy of the ballot is too In-' vlolable, and it would serve no useful purpose to controvert his statement to have voted Liberal ut the general election, excepting to remark that some political effect is expected to result from this strutegom. Particular emphasis Is applied to the apparent remissness of tho Doukhobors, generally, to participate in military service. Tho government, however, recognizes the merits of the Doukhobors in another sphere, no less essential to the "win the wur" movement, viz., in Increased crop production, for which work so many of Its members are appropriately trained and now wholeheartedly engaged In assisting. Whilo the -Doukhobors may not be considered to be a political factor, since they do not possess the voter's franchise, they have novel- expected nor solicited exemption from taxation, und Mr, Stenson can quickly ascertain if, both in volume and promptitude, they are less responsive to such public obligations than himself> Thon Why should it appear lo bo so monstrously inequitable when one of their members is honored by such an administrative appointment?

This is brought to my mind by a letter received this morning from a Canadian friend on ' the western front. I will quote you fragments from the letter. The expression will interest you, the spirit will, quicken you, and the feeling that you will perceive to be at the back of the man's mind will make you wish that you wore at such an age that you could go there yourself und see and feel things thoy really are. "The blasted guns ure shaking the ground as 1 write, and the vibration hits one like nothing else that I know. It Btops ono thinking and even writing every minute or so. There aro some nine point fives (howitzers) nearby—great, big fat follows, and they look for all tho world like gigantic bull frogs or ugly toads, squatting down ready to spring on their prey. Their great brond ribbed wheels are like the legs and feet and when they go off they cough viciously, and the brute jumps In tho air bodily. They seem to look on their victims in a sullen, brutal way; while a wreath of dirty black smoke curls from their maws as thoy spit forth their venom at the German line. It is wonderful, it is awful, and It Is also a scene that expresses a grandeur of its own. "Thank God they are friendly." "——Yet hath a precious jewel in his head." I finished the quotation as I remembered that dull, murky flash, ruby red, that comes ut the mouth of the gun as it sends forth its deadly messenger Into the German trenches. Fire Is casting out fire. War destroying tho lust for war. These ugly creatures wilt bring us pence. A precious jewel, Indeed. Now to Mesopotamia. Here Is another letter recently received. Its author was, in civil life, a linen draper. His days wore not spent in the outdoor life, nor did ho dream that his travels would ever take him over the trackless desert. Now he Is a driver in the army service corps and enjoying It. Does he moan about the. absence of western civilization? Do days and nights of toil weary him? Does he find fault with the heat and the sand and the sun, or groan about the dangers in the wastes north of the Persian gulf. You shall read ( for yourself and you shall soo exactly what he thinks. "No, 1 did not spend Christinas with Kubla Khan. The 'stately pleasure dome' gave way to something far more uninteresting; for it is just niud waste. I went out twice last week and saw the first tree I'd seen for months. I also saw a building. I think it started out to be n bungalow but had bulged Into a sort of Swiss chalet at one end, and Improvements at the main front suggested a mediaeval stronghold. It looked very quaint. Thero is interest and amusement in everything hero If you only look for it. Well, well. Hero we nre. And what is more, we are still plodding along. What Is still more we shall finish up in bogey. Johnny Turk wants a big handicap In order to make match of It with us. Another year will see it over, if not beforo. Send ie a newspaper now and gain. You can picture him driving along roady to laugh whenever he may. He Is not at all despondent, and what he thinks is merely representative of what they all think. And yet Germany believes she can terrify men like this. Here is another letter, also from an A. S. C. man. This man is a Cambridge graduate Who before the war was a tutor. He went to GullipoU and was hit while In the peninsula. He recuperated at Hudres and, on recovery, was sent to Saloniki. While there, he contracted fever and was Invulided to the hilts of India. From hospital there he writes: " As you will see I am still here, and between ourselves I am quite sick of this enforced idleness. I joined up to do my bit, to put an end, once and for all, tp war. At present it looks as if I am doing nothing but having a cheap tour of the world. Of one thing I am thankful, I am gradually grasping tho limitless size and greatness of the wonderful empire that our ancestors built up and left to ns as trustees. One recognizes how solemn is the trust, as one never did hefore. But nt the same time I feel, and I feel strongly, that as they died to make It, it Is tor us to die, If necessary, to leave this heritage greater—not necessarily in size, but in honor—than it was when wo received it. But 1 can't do this by stopping in India. "Galllpoll,- Saloniki and Tndin, And nil the time the greatest struggle the world has ever seen, or ever will see, is being waged in France, it Is very galling to mo to be cooped up hero. I havo tried to got away but fate seems to be agnlnst me. Still, 1 must make the host of things ns they are, I suppose, "I hoard n wonderful story of pluck tho other day. An R.A.M.C. doctor was in n torpedoed ship and, having been picked up by a passing bout, was landed in the neighborhood of Suez. What do you think he did? Just walked to military headquarters and asked to be put on ship and returned to duty nt once, if you please. By all the rules he ought to hnve had a. short rest after his experience, but that was not his wny. 1 think it Is a wonderful example of devotion to duty, the "stern daughter of the voice of God" as Keats called It. What do you think? "The news we receive is good. On all fronts things seem to be going well, which after all, is natural when Britain really sets her mind to a job. I long for a talk and a smoke with you as in the old days. We shall enjoy it howevor, nil the more, when the opportunity does come, 1. e., when we have finished the war, ch? When I read that letter I was reminded of another familiar trifle from Shakespeare "Beware of the entrance to a quarrel, but, being lit1 ." There you have the letters of men who nre seeing things and doing things; things none or them dreamed they would ever havo to do either from compulsion or choice, and things that up to tho outbreak of war,,they had never been taught lo do. But being in it (as they describe it) tlfcy aro deterred by nothing; they are neither alarmed or worried; they arc Englishmen. If you told them they were heroes they would bo hurt. All they nsk Is to be remembered as the men they are. It Is so that history will remember them, and no countryman of theirs who In the years to como will read of what they were and what they did, will ever need to feel shame for them. WAITING FOR SIR WILFRID I >»»-H>»-Ht*>MtM»« I »»»»•>'* The Montreal paraders and window- smashers who cried "Down with Conscription," who also shouted "Vive Laurler," Ily the French-speaking Lib. erals who organized the meeting In Lnfontalno park, tiie crowd was bidden to trust Laurler. Mr. Mederic Martin, mayor of Montreal, and supporter of Sir Wilfrid I-nuder in the house of commons, asked thorn in the mime of Laurler not to lie violent. Mr. Napoleon Seguin, a Liberal member of the provincial assembly, told the crowd to go home and wait for Sir Wilfrid Laurier. "You will seo," he is reported to have snld, "that Laurler is with yon." Not only his own followers in the province of Quebec, bul the people of Canada us a whole, aro still looking to Sir Wilfrid Laurier for tlio decision ho ought to have announced on Friday last in the speech he delivered In reply to Sir Robert Horden's statement of the government's purpose to Introduce a measure of compulsory service. None arc waiting moro expectantly than the rank and file of the Liberal party ln English-speaking Canada. They trust thnt Sir Wilfrid will pronounce, as ho ought to pronounce. In favor of tho speedy onnet- ment of a law to raise by selective drafts the force necessary to bring our overseas army up to the strength of 500,000 men and maintain it thereat. We all trust that Sir Wilfrid will so decide and we all regret that he did not do so at once. If he hud, tho fo- mentors of disorder at Quebec would nol have been so successful on Victoria day. As wo huve shown, his name was used to tranqullize the crowd. Had he risen to the occasion on Frldny last and proffered his support to the government in Us patriotic policy for reinforcing our men at the front, he would have shown tho lendershlp that Is required in his provlnco at the pro- sent time. As the politician with the Inrgost following there, a word from him would havo had great weight with the ngltntors who, after doing what they could to prevent volunteering, aro now trying to stir up the people against compulsory service. The orators at the Lnfontalno park meeting uttered his name as ono to conjure with. Now Is the time to show himself a strong leader In tho province of his chief strength. Uy declaring for compulsory service he wll rebuke the demonstrators against it, and will at least havo tho satisfaction of exercising his party authority in behalf of our forces at tho front, It Is tho patriot, not the purtlzan or falterer, whose leadership Is now needed by all groups and sections In this groat country. The political chief who. puts aside every consideration but that of winning tho war can be us* fiured uf u following wherever his in fluence attracted followers before. The people of French-speaking Canada arc preptirod to submit to the guidance of men of commanding patriotism more readily than to the suggestion of the seditious. The latter have too long been permitted to carry on their rascally work. If Sir Wilfrid is strong enough to lead In Quebec, let htm but declare that he Is In favor of the prompt enactment of a measure of real compulsory service. That will be received ns the word of a moderator, if ho but pronounces ll as one who means to stand by It. In such times as theso lie Is surely a weak leader who will take his cue from those small and vicious underlings of his pnrty who labor to dlsaffcct the rank and file. Also, il Is only the weakest of Sir Wilfrid Laurler1***) party opponents who can wish him to take any line of nction that is contrary to the Interest of the nation and the Empire, or damaging to his own reputation as a public man. Party aims, objects and tactics, ought to be sunk nt such a time as this, nnd evory man lhat loves his country ought to hope that Sir Wilfrid Laurler will now prove himself a strong Canadian, —Toronto Mail and Empire. PROVINCE RUNS A BANK The first one hundred dollar bond, or certificate of deposit, of the new Manitoba Farm Loan association, under which cheaper money will be provided for the grain growers of tho province, hus been sold. The buyer of the certificate was Miss Ruth W. Winkler, daughter of the provincial minister of agriculture. Miss Winkler is just graduating from school and received a gift from her father in recognition of the event. Sho concluded thnt she could not do better with the money than lend lt to somo food producer and took this means of doing so. It Is a remarkable and noteworthy fact thnt this one hundred dollars, within is hours of its reception by the Farm Loans association, will be In the hand of a Manitoba farmer, who is putting ln us large a crop as possible to meet the unprecedented needs of thu world. Two applications for mouey from Manitoba farmers wero approved by the board recently and the amount to which reference Is made will be Included In thu remittances made in ono of these cases. The certificate of deposit is guaranteed unconditionally by tho province of Manitoba, it bears 4 per cent interest and can bo converted into currency al any moment as easily as a hundred dollar bill. The province will provide the cash Instantly on demand. —Manitoba Free Press. THE AXE WILL ACTIVE BECOME The axe will be falling, fulling now, since the legislature has closed and the ministers have more time on their hands. Conservatives holding office in this province might just as well look for another job, or make up their minds to take an enforced vacation. "Honest') John Oliver was not "mealy mouth" about the proposition when he declared on the floor of the house that there would be Liberals put In office until the situation was "balanced up a bit." And still the farce of a civil service law is staged for the benefit of tho independent voter. It would be far better to see the government frankly admit that "to the victor belongs the spoils," rather than have them talk ln a most sanctimonious way about the evils of partizanshlp and at the samo time work overtime firing Conservative office holders to give somo good Liberal worker a job,— Kamloops Standard, Tho University of Toronto will establish, n department of military Instruction.

It is strange how It almost always needs the hand of death or at least a break down in health for people to realize a man's good qualities; and thero can be no two opinions that for the position he occupied Sir Richard possessed a great many lhat wore invaluable. A man with his personality could never be a nonentity In any community, and here in Ills own province he certainly has mado himself a name to conjure with. Now that his mind is free from official worries It is to be hoped his health will return nnd that we may seo him completely recovered when he comes amongst us onco again. Platitudes. Platitudes. Hundreds of articles all couched In vory much the same tone have appeared in all parts of tho world. Now here the I ruth. The position of agent-general in London wus far too lino n job to be left In the hands of a political opponent, so the hot-heads of the Liberal ranks took a firm grip of the big stick and practically forced the premier to draft a bill canceling Sir Richard's appointment. Nothing less thnn that would satisfy them. They hnd the whip hand and they knew It, and tho "no patronage" cry having served its purpose, need not of course be taken into account. To such lengths as this may political warfare be carried on, the only concession being the compromise of "resignation" Instead of a bill before the house. Now what? Or should we say Who?—B. C.

While all the peoples of the United States, with the exception of the Indians, are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants, statisticians apply the term Immigrant only to those who have come to our shores since the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. According to the census figures, these number 33,000,000. Those who remained hero, with their descendants, now compose about 35,000,000 of our 108,000,000 inhabitants. About 10,000,- 000 immigrants arrived in the United States before 1890 and about 17,000,000 since. It is interesting to note, In the present circumstances, the numerical relation between our German immigrants and those from other countries. Previous to 1890 we received 6,000,000 immigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, 5,125,000 from Germany, 2,000,000 from Scandinavia, nnd about 2,000,000 from all other countries. Since 1890 thero hnve been but 1,023,000 from Germany, less than a million from Scandinavia and Great Britain combined and about 15,000,000 from other countries—mostly those of Southern Europe. The census shows that there are in the United States today 8,000,- 000 people of German stock or uncos try, but that less than one million of these hnve come to America since 1890. That is to say, there are not one million persons ln this country who themselves or whoso ancestors ever owed allegiance to the present kaiser. On the other hand a large mass of our citizens of German blood truce their parentage to those who, like Carl Schuiv. and his compatriots, either fled from political oppression, or sought the better economic conditions of this lund of individual freedom. These figures prove, beyond need of commont, low greatly exaggerated are the fears that America's people will bo divided in the struggle with Germany—The Eagle Magazine. f Every 10c Packet of WILSONS FLY PADS WILI KILL MORE FLIES THAN S8'-0 WORTH OF ANY ■ STICKY riY CATCHER Clean to handle.

The resolution concludes by appealing to Sir Wilfrid Laurler to use "his influence to induce the people of Quebec to do their duty, not only to the Empire but in the interests of civilization and for the salvation of the liberties of mankind." Rev. W. H. Bridge, president of the league, stated that he hart invited well known politicians from both parties to address the meeting on the subject of "national service," among those invited being His Honor Judge Thompson, who was detained by a prolonged session in Fernie nnd could njot attend, R. E. Benttie and A* E. Watts, the latter being the only one In attendance. Jlr. Bridge emphasized" the fact that while the members of the organization were not affiliated with any political party, they were always anxious to hear the views of both sides on topics of national Importance, such as the one to be discussed, and especially the military phase of the situation. He said also that greater production and the exercise of more economy In consumption were matters ot importance. Resolutions touching on selective conscription, Dominion prohibition, women's suffrage, etc., were submitted and fully discussed. The principle speakers were N. A. Walllnger, Mrs. John Laurie, Mrs. J. D. McBride, Mrs. W. B. McFarlane, Miss Cherrlngton, Mrs. Burton and other women. They were very pronounced and unanimous in their criticisms of thoso who shirk their duty. The chairman, In calling upon Mr. Watts, said there could be no doubt as to which party he belonged and he trusted that at some future date representatives of the other side would address the members. Mr, Watts admitted that ho was a Conservative, but as a partlzan prior to the inception of the Non-Partlzan league, he had publicly advised the women to hold aloof from party politics, to preserve their independence, to use their own discretion in the selection of.representatives instead of permitting any political machine to do It for them, as a noh-partlzan body during tho serious crisis tholr expression of opinion would carry more weight than any partlzan resolutions, and he would strongly advise that In addition to the resolutions under consideration, that an appeal lie made to'Sir Vt*Tliiirt Laurler to'uso his influence to Induce the people of Quebec to do their'duty for the sake of humanity—not for the sake of Groat Britain or the Empire, whose sons nre fighting for the salvation of the motherland nf tho French-Canadians, some of whom are dastards Indeed who threaten to take up arms against the protectors of ' the noble country, France, which gave them birth. Those guilty of the puerile talk of revolt aad those who encouraged them in lt should be taught to do their duty and would he by the Anglo-Saxon race of this and other continents. If Sir Wilfrid took tlio manly stand he would have their approbation and the approval of Conservatives. It was unanimously decided to wire a synopsis of the resolutions to the premier, as follows: "Right Hon. Sir Robert L. Borden, Ottawa: "At a public meeting in Cranbrook, under the auspices nf the Non-Partlzan league, Rev. W. H. Bridge presiding, It was resolved that tho policy of selective conscription be heartily endorsed and thut the government be urged to take immediate steps towards the enactment thereof. "Thnt the resolution passed hy tho I. O. IX E., Vancouver, encouraging the premier and condemning traitors he heartily endorsed. "Also that the premier be congratulated upon bis determination to extend equal suffrage to women throughout Canada, and lhat the government bo urged to enact a measure of prohibition applicable to the whole Dominion. "Thut an appeal be made to Sir Wilfrid Laurler to use his Influence to Induce the people of Quebec to do their duty, not only to the Empire but In the Interests of civilization and for the salvation of the liberties of mankind."

OTTAWA, June 5.-~Hon. Albert Sevigny, former speaker of the commons, and at present minister of inland revenue, figures In a return tabled In the commons today. The return contains copies of correspondence and documents exchanged between Col, Henry Fi. Smith, sergeant at arms of the commons, and Mr.' Sevigny; tho sergeant at arms and the justice department and between the justice department and Mr. Sevigny concerning furniture, pictures and ornaments belonging to tho speaker's department which were removed from Ottawa subsequent to the fire in February of last year, which destroyed tlje parliament buildings and sent by Mr. Sevigny to Que bee. The correspondence shows that OJrme, Limited of Ottawa, sent the following to Quebec on order to Mr. Sevigny: "Victrola, style 16, two record carrying cases, nine albums, 21 records nt 75 cents, nine al !)0 cents. 35 at $1.21 seven at $1.50, ll at $2, one at $2.50, 11 at $3.50, one at $5 nnd one at $6, or 97 records worth $152.10.''

C, Smith springfeed. The value of the latter articles were placed at $15.50, Evidently the articles were missed after the resignation of Mr. Sevigny as spenker, for on Feb. 1 lust. Col. Smith wrote to Mr. Seviigny and asked him to return to him these articles, the property of tho house of commons. Sevigny Replies. Mr, Sevigny replied as follows: 'I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the first instant, regarding certain articles'sont to Quebec whon 1 was speaker of the house of com mons. I expect to return to Quebec In a few duys and 1 will glvo orders to send the articles mentioned In your letter." On Feb. 24 Col. Smith again wrote to Mr. Sevigny as follows; "lu reference to your letter of Feb. 12 regarding cor tain articles, nothing has reached mo from Quebec. 1 would be much obliged If you WOUla give this matter your immediate attention." To this letter there wns no reply, nor did tho articles arrive. On March 12 Col. Smith again wrote Mr. Sevigny. He said: "Referring to my letters of Feb. 1 und 24, in which I asked you to .•eturn to me certain goods sent by yon from Ottawa to Quebec during'the past year which aro the property of the houso of commons, you are probably aware that these articles should be In my custody and that I am responsible for their use and safe keeping and yet you persist in,retaining them In your possession. 1 am thus, reluctantly obliged to take action to recover the said goods (an unwelcome position into which you have forced mo) by reporting tho matter of the placing of claim in the hands of the department of justice." j Mr. Sevigqy Much Surprised Three days later, on March 15, Mr. Sevigny replied ns follows: "My dear Colonel: 1 beg Ho acknowledge receipt of your letter :of Feb. 12 which sur prised me very much. You need have no anxiety over the articles in question. It is not my intention to keep them, and if I have not returned them before now it is beeauso my time has been all taken up with my official duty, I prefer making no comment whatever on your conduct In this matter." The articles, evidently bad not reached Col. Smith on April 2, for on thnt date ho placed the matter in the hands of tlio department of justice He wrote to K. L, Newcombe, th- deputy minister of justice, as follows: "I enclose herewith a claim for certain property of the house of commons removed by Mr. Sevigny from Ottawa to Quebec City during tho last year. The correspondence explains Itself, and I he***** tn request that Im mediate stops bo taken to recover the articles named us 1 am unable to In duco Mr, Sevigny to accede to my request in this regard." Next day Mr. Nowcombe acknowledged the receipt of Col, Smith's request and on Muy 1 he wrote the following letter to tho sergoant-at-arms: "Referring to the claim which you sent me recently for tho return of somo articles by the Hon. Mr. Sevigny, the minister of justice informs me that Mr, Sevigny tola him recently that he had returned these articles, and If this bo so, I shall be glad to have your confirmation of Ihe fact." On May 2, Col, Smith replied thnt the articles had been sent hack to the houso of commons with the exception of one filing cabinet and one record carrying caso belonging to the Vic troln. The last letter Included In tho return Is dated Juno 3 and wus address ed by Col. Smith to Hon. 15. L. Patenaudc. It wns lis follows: "In reference to a recent Inquiry from your d purtment as to a filing cabinet taken by the Hon. Mr1.

He objected to the original motion as falling to reaffirm the determination of tho first convocation of anti-unionists to carry on the church* and suggested the additional phraseology which Mr. .Macdonnell agreed to. When Rev. Principal Fraser, president of tho rrosliyleriau Theological college, who presided, put tho motion to the convocation, the greater number of those In the hall rose in response and tho chairman declared the motion carried. A vote was not called tor against the motion. When a man near the back of the church called the attention of the chairman and the mooting to the faet that ho had not asked those against the. resolution to stand. Rev. Fraser asked: "Doos anyone want to voto against this?" There woro a few cries of "No," and the meeting was continued. Tho chairman staled ho considered such a proceeding unnecessary as a majority of those present bad clearly voted in the affirmative. Two delegates who were to deliver addresses at tho evening session— Commissioner Perry of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, of Regina. and Judge Robson of Winnipeg—were unable to be present.

HUMBLE "SPUD" NOW HAS MOST IMPORTANT POSITION Fom belhg the commonest of vegetables, the humble "spud" has now risen to a position of international importance. So dependent are the peo-; pie of the world upon the potato as a staple article of. diet, that the fate ot* nations may depend upon the success or fa|lurc of the potato crop, poring the Inst few years that crop has been utterly Inadequate. This article tolls why It must be Increased during tho coming year and What you-enn do to help increase It. In classic English the word spud signifies a digging Instrument, some-' what like a spnde. ln the vernacular, the term Is applied, affectionately to th'e chief of vegetables unearthed by thnt Instrument—the potato. Tho potato is the most democratic fond in the world—popular with the great and, In normal times, easily withiirthc reach of tho common peoplo, among whom it Is the staple article of diet. In short, the humble "spud" is exactly the sort a vegetable you would expect the "land of. the free" to produce, says the Eagle Mngazine, For the potato is nol, ns commonly supposed, a. native of Ireland. It was unknown to the Old World. Like Indian, corn it was first found in America. It became popular in Ireland first because It was easy to cultivate nnd easy to cook, and, second, because it was hard to carry away. In the days of rack-renting landlords, the grain, poultry or cattle of tho Irish peasant could be seized by tiie avaricious overlord and shipped to England. But tho mild climate of tho Emerald ' Isle enabled the shrewd Irishman to keep his potatoes hidden in the ground all winter, digging them a mess at a lime as they were needed. The humble spud accordingly became the great food crop of Erin. "If broad is the staff of life," a certain Hibernian- is said to havo remarked, "sure potatoes are tho crutch." The utter dependence of the Irish on thnt. crutch has resulted in terrible suffering and starvation when blight or disease has caused the failure of tho single crop. Of recent years Ireland lias lost her claim to being the land, par excellence, of the potato. The vegetable has become a well loved staple throughout the world. In Germany, especially, perhaps because of the high food value yielded per aero, tho farmers havo, within a few years, outdone the Irish peasantry in making the potato the national food. Tho Imperial government, with lhat military efficiency that characterized it oven before the war began, took account of this mammoth produce not long ago and found thnt, in the consumption of the tuber tho German had beaten the Colt clear out of sight. According to statistics, each man, woman and child In Germany consumed on nn average. 2r, pounds of polntoes each week. Germany was producing inoro of tbe bumble spud than was any other country of the world, and hor yield per acre was second only to,thnt of Belgium. Intensive farming haft reached tho highest point in tbe smaller country, but Germany was *not far behind. In 11)13, Germany's crop was 54,000,- 000 tons; In 1R14 it wns 1)5,000,000. The following yenr It shrank to 40,000,000; but by cutting off tbe use of the potato for the distillation of alcohol and the feeding of livestock, the govern-* ment was still able to maintain the, weekly 2n pounds per capita for the people? The effects of the scanty supply was felt only by the prisoners of war, who received reduced rations. In 1010 the crop was nearly a failure.' Less than 25,000,000 tons of potatoes were produced* and a large proportion of this amount was of poor quality. In view of tho distress nnd food riots, that resulted from tho scanty supply it has boon suggestert thnt a failure of this year's crop might force Germany to sue for peace. The humble spud will hove Indeed come up In the world if it should prove more potent than shells and shrapnel In deciding the world conflict. Germany's potato crop, however, does not immediately concern us. That oftthe United States does. Here In America, also, tho potato is on the way to becoming nn aristocrat. Not only was our potato crop of last year far helow tbe average but our cereals too, fell short. The increased demands for supplies for foreign countries—far greater because of the war, than anything previously conceivable resulted in n shortage that affected prices to srfch an extent that now the "high cost of living" has become 'a problem not only for tbo housewife but for tho nation. Although the advance ln prices has boon aggravated through the activities of conscienceless speculators, many of whose attempts at ojctortion havo been curbed only through governmental interference, much of tho Increase has resulted from unavoidable causes. Potatoes are not the only food whose price has reached from four tn six times the ordinnry figure. And tbe worst of it Is that the future "offers little hope of relief. Ottr winter wheat crop for tho present year will doubtless be innny million bushels below tho normal yield. Thore is springing up, however n nation wide conviction that extraordinary measures nre needed to enlnrgo the summer production of food and thus save the country from shortage, perhaps even from famine. The people are beginning lo realize thnt the acreage given over to the production of spring wheat, barley, oats and Indian corn must he increased to the utmost possible limit and that potatoes, beans and garden vegetables must bo produced in large quantities. The farmers, of course, will havo to look after tho planting and harvesting of the cereals, but everyone who hns a bit of land available can share in tho raising of vegetables including the humble spud. So serious is tho situation thnt President Wilson has issued a formal appeal, urging each man. woman and* child of the nation to contribute somo- The Latest Style in gas ranges is this new McClary cabinet model.

Referring to the. great struggle in which we are engaged, "fighting for the rlfthts WTftffflWnV rfn'd for thrl' future peace nrtdj- security of tho world," he says. "To do this great thing ^worthily und successfully, we must devote ourselves to the service withMVt regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and Intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. We must realize to the full how great the task Is and how many things, how many' kinds of elements of capacity and service and self-sacrifice, it Involves. We must.supply abundant food,' not only for ourselves nnd our armies and our seamen, bilt also for a large part of the nations with whom we have made a common cause. . . . "The government'-of the United States and* the governments of the several states standi ready to cooperate. They will do anything possible to assist formers in securing an adequate supply of seed, on adequate force of laborers when they aro most needed ht harvest time and the means of expediting --shipments of fertilizers nnd farm machinery, ns well as of the' crops themselves. . t , "Let me suggest also thnt every one who creates or cultivates a garden helps, and helps greatly, to solve the problem of the feeding of the nations and that every housewife who prnctises strict economy puts herself in tho ranks of thoso who serve the nation. This is the time for America to correct hor unpardonable fault of wnstefulness and extravagance.* Let every man and-women, assume the duty of careful, provident*, use and expenditure as n public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which-one cannot expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring." A response hns already been made to this appeal of the' president. Even before the appeal was published, individuals and organizations were planning a new sort of tyick to the soil movement, which did. not require a removal, bag and baggage, to the country, but demanded simply the utilization of all available land In cities and towns. Amateur gardeners nre now at work all over the country. In many places, the use of vacant land has been olTered free foi' cultivation. Parks, plensure grounds and ornamental plots nre being devoted to tho production of food. Oftentimes seers are furnished free nnd expert advice is given to the nmnteur gardener without chai-ge. One of the chief things to be accomplished in this back to the soil movement, is tho putting of the humble spud in his place. He has "jio right to bo exclusive, like tbe orange, in tissue paper wraplpngs. He ( is a nouveau rlche upstart who belongs among the common peoplo. Everyone can help to put him where he belongs; for the potato enn bo cultivated almost anywhere—In dooryards and backynrds, in vacant lots—wherever n few square feet of earth are available. Women and little children, feeble old mon enn do the work required. The price of seed is high; but lt Is not prohibitive. Potato seed furnishes nn ever- present refutation of the1 classing saying, "You can't ent your cake and have it." You can eat your potato, or most of It, nnd'nt th/ same timo save lt for seed. Tho plant grows from tho "eye," which should he cut ont of the potato with a bit of tho substance about half the size of^fi peanut. Now, most of the eyes are In the seed end of the potato, which you may cut off—sometimes you may even _dlvlde .It—for planting; nnd tho roimilndor of the potato—the larger part—you may out. If tho eyes and seed erils are kept In a cool, moist place, they must bo accumulated for weeks before they are planted, If you want to know just how ta plant, fertilize and ^cultivate the humble spud, consult an expert. You will find ono ready wilK free advice In almost every county soJit and most of the Inrgor towns. Mjinember that nothing repays carefull cultivation as doos tho potato. The -yield will vary according to the nmout>t of care given, from 50 to 400 bushels por acre. And remember if you do your part and everyone else who Is favorably situated does his part, the humble spud may prove to be a mighty .factor In saving tho nation.

While Canadians of military age who want to visit the United States for business or other legitimate purposes must first secure a passport that is not all that is necessary before the border can be crossed. Tho passenger must bo prepared to answer tho questions which may bo propounded to him by the Immigration officials, especially If he Is not well knrnvn. While the passport must ba signed by a bank manager, olllof of police clergyman or Dominion government of. ficlal, as well ns by the notary or Justice of the peace beforo whom lt Is sworn, as evidence of bona fides it must, In addition, bear tho names of four reputable citizens as references, thero Is always the possibility of attempts at deception. For this reason the Immigration officials have been instructed to question bearers of passports when it seems desirable lo do so. It Is not expected that many attempts at deception will be made, ou account of tho difficulty thnt faces anyone who attempts wrongfully to secure a passport and because of the heavy penalty which awaits anyone who is caught whilo attempting to break the law, but the immigration department is taking every possible precaution to prevent Infractions of the regulations.

ROME CONGRESS URGE8 RUSSIANS TO REMAIN FIRM ROME, Italy.—The congress of the Reformist Socialist party, recently held In Rome, has aroused considerable Interest in political circles. The Reformist Socialists are thoso who have always been In favor nf the most vigorous prosecution of the war; the Official Soeinlists, on the otlier hand, have been opposed to Italian Intervention. Among those taking port in the congress wero' the minister, Slgnor Blssolatl, Slgnor Canepa, the commissioner-general for food, Senator Pulle and a large number of deputies. Delegates from Gorizia were also present. Belgian Socialists were represented ln the person of M, Destrees and the Russians by the Socialist Rlchter and others. Signor BIsBolati who was greeted On rising with hearty applause, said that thoy sent a salutation to democratic and socialistic Russia, not only on account of the sympathy which they had always felt for the Slav charactor, but because it was also their duty to do so as a political act. It was known that the kaiser's Socialists were trying to Induce the Russian Socialists to bring pressure to bear o'» the provisional government to conclude a operate peace. The Socialists of all the allied nations should stand together to show the Russian Socialists their solidarity and should beg them to scout the German proposals. The great majority uf the committee of workmen and soldiers al Petrograd had already rejected these treacherous underhanded advances, but the defense needed strengthening because they knew the tenacity of the Germans. Delegates were going from Italy to Russia to make known the Italian ideals to their Russian comrades and to help them to frustrate the German plans. Signor Blssolatl then proposed a resolution framed on the lines Indicated in his speech, in which the congress expressed its satisfaction that the Russian proletariat know how to repulse the Insidious advances with whicti German socialism, in agreement with kalserlsm, was endeavoring to detach Russia from her allies, and which, advanced under iho gnise Pjl sympathy lor the Russian people, would if successful, involve the betrayal of the Russian revolution, and instead of being the glorious champion of the liberty of all nations it would then become. If the German attempts succeeded, the accomplice of German domination. The resolution wont on to express tho full confidence of tho Our Optical Department is equipped with overy modern appliance.

A brief spceeli was made by the Russian Sopiallst Rlchter, and the resolution was agreed to amid much applause. After speeches from S. S. Bertesl and Berentni, the Belgian Socialist M. Destrees, who, in the name of the Socialists of Belgium, associated himself with the message to tlio Russian people, and others, Signor Blssolatl again addressed the congress. It was unnecessary, he snid, to offer any explanation of his presence at the congress; the Reformist Socialists were in perfect accord with the government on all questions concerning the war which. Indeed, they had been the first to recognize as necessary for Italy and a duty for the nation. It was clearer thon ever today, said the speaker, that Europe desired to be a federntlon of free peoples and not the colonial dominion of a predatory state. Signor Bissolatl referred to the vigorous strength of Kngland, the Russian revolution, nnd tho intervention of the United States, and said that theso all implied the march of socialism, the suppression of the rapacious egotism of militnry states, the foundation of international right and the preparation of a lasting peace among the peoples. A resolution wus subsequently agreed to In favor of an attempt to consolidate all tbe Italian Socialist groups In one body. The only subject on which complete unanimity was not apparent wns that of the annexation of Dalmatia, ngainst which the voice of Signor Mondlalnl was raised; however, the majority of the congress was apparently in favor of annexation. A number of questions were considered by the congress, among which were, the supply and distribution of food, the reform of the bureaucracy, the expropriation of land for tbe benefit of soldiers returning from the wnr, and the need lhat the land, through improved cultivation, should be made to yield its utmost. The congress also affirmed Its conviction that the Reformist Sociulist party should give every attention to the need for obtaining better conditions for women in industry and should do Its utmost to further the extension of the franchise to women.

C—A force of American Indians, consisting of 10 or more regiments of cavalry, to guard the Mexican border while other elements of the regular army are participating in the European war, was advocated by Dr. .loseph Kossuth Dixon of Philadelphia, who lectured hero under the auspices of the Notional Press club. Mr. Dixon pointed to the fact that a bill to accomplish this purpose is now pending hefore congress. He assorted that the Indian has those mosi vital elements In the making of a soldier—the ability to shoot and a knowledge of how to live in the open. Ho declared thnt the Indian is "capable, adaptable and available." The speaker added that the government in the past has used the Indian of the border to hunt down renegades of his own race. He urged that the legislation providing for a North American Indian cavalry be passed, and this resource of the "nation used in the most effective way. i In this connection Dr. Dixon advocated citizenship as the privilege most vital to the development of tho Indian and proposed that such citizenship be made a part of the government's acceptance of the Indian into the army. Dr, Dixon recently conducted tho Rodman Wnnamnker historical expedition to North American Indians, in the course of which he traveled 50,000 miles, visiting every tribe In the United States, taking 10 miles of moving picture film of an educational and historical character, as well as many wonderful stltl pictures, Particulars of tlio Injuries and condition of Liout.

"The war," he said, "inter alia, has made us realize as never before, how we In India have been passing our great resources by. Being thrown back on ourselves, we have already increased our output of Industrial products a hundredfold ln several directions, and this war will have -proved a blessing in disguise if through Us teaching wc shall havo learned how great a field of enterprise lies open to us' in the Industrial and agricultural spheres, and how necessary it Is to organize ourselves Industrially. I verily believe, then, however conscious we may be at this moment of the extra burden which we have taken upon ourselves, that it lies in our own power to cope with it, and that some day, in consequence of our efforts, wo shall look buck to this war as the date of India's industrial birth," With regard to the war loan, his excellency sold: "It still remains for mc to Impress on you lhat It Is the duty of each of us to secure the maximum response to India's war loans. In the first place let us remember that every million that comes from India eases not merely the exchange difficulty which we are experiencing here, but through It the exchange difficulty with which his majesty's government arc confronted at home. Next, let none of us think that wc have done enough until we hnve made the question of how much wo can manage a matter of real thought and anxious contrivance. Wo are not asked to givo outright, but to lend the largest amount which we can make available. Lastly, we want all to subscribe, and wo can only get the countless millions to join ln, if the duty and advantage of subscribing ure fully brought home to them. For this wo want propaganda work, and tho mora unofficial that propaganda is, tho more satisfactory will bo its results." Referring to tho increased cotton duties, the viceroy said: "Is not tho imposition of an extra duly on cotton goods, thus raising tho import trade to our general tariff level, nn event which of itself makes this budget and this session memorable? A grievnnce has thus been removed which has heen for a long time a standing source of irritation. You will have noticed from the report of the proceedings in the house of commons that the question of the Indian cotton duties will bo considered afresh, when the fiscal arrangements of the Emplro como to be reviewed au a whole after tho war. I am sure that hon. members will agreo that his majesty's government could not, in the existing circumstances, have gone further than thoy have done to meet India's wishes, and that none of you will question the desirability of the fiscal problems of the Empire being fully examined after the Wnr."

PLEA FOR MORE SHIPS IN FRANCE PARIS, Prance—The unsatisfactory present condition of the French mercantile marino and the present need that energetic measures should at once be taken to Increase the number of available ships is the subject of two articles appearing at approximately the same date In the Victoire and the Revue des doux Mondes. Tho writer in the Victoire points out that the difficulties of transport, arising from the worn out condition of the French railways and rolling stock at the moment, can be overcome only by the use of water transport. The great necessity, 'he urn in tu Ins, for the modern merchant fleets lies in the ability to enter nny port, nnd to penetrate as far as possible Into tho country by mentis of canals and rivers, and with this ond In view, the most useful ships will be those not drawing too much water nnd of ii n average tdsse of from 4000 to fiOOO tons, these to bo supplemented by n fleet of sea-going lmrge» drawing about 1000 tons each. Hefore the v.'nr, by reason chiefly of iho extremely low freights then prevalent, the tendency wns to increase the-size of merchant ships so that enormous cargoes could be carried, and, In con- seqmiice, on'y the 'argent ports nnd -,... I t.a hrirn en sM bP vi.dtcd by -inch shlPfl, 'I'hyHn days- iho -ffrltor thinks, are over, and the future lies with smaller vessels. He points lo tho accelerated program of shipbuilding to be carried out in Kngland and especially to the American project for building as rapidly as possible a fleet of medium-sized wooden merchant ships. The ships of which France stands SO much In need, might, ho thinks, be constructed of wood, steel, iron or concrete, nnd their motive power derived from steam or petrol, not excluding the use of sails. He urges tbo necessity for France Immediately to take steps to increase her merchant fleet, not only in order that sho shall not find herself In an Inferior position with regard to other nations at the end of tho war, but with the object of relieving her present economic conditions. The writer In the-Revue des deux Momies emphasizes the same point. French industrial production during tho war, has, he maintains, achieved marvelous results, but he claims that tho necessity for shipbuilding has not received the same attention as that of other branches of the national requirements and he urges the necessity for giving serious and prompt attention to the matter. He points out the impossibility of mnklng good the shortage by purchase, the greater number of nations having forbidden not only the transfer of their flag but the sale of ships. Construction tn French shipyards alone, he maintains, will meet the difficulty. One stumbling block lies in the fact that the production of iron in France ut the present moment, is, it Is no secret, Inadequate to meet tho demands made upon It. An increased output from the mines is, in the circumstances, tho first consideration und fresh efforts aro being made In this direction, but the results aro not, he considers, llke- " Where Everybody Goes, TONIGHT ONLY 6:46 to 10:40.
