Big Point Involved. | Many questions of international law : involved, however, In the conver- ■ on of a merchantman Into a commerce destroyer on the high seas.

OTTAWA, Jan. 19.—The usual state ceremony which marks the formal opening of parliament was observed .i connection with the formal opening of the house today. With a now speaker in the chair, everything was in readiness for the ceremonial function which must bo gone through with before the parliament can get down to business. His excellency tho Duke of Devonshire arrived at the Victoria Museum punctually ut 3 o'clock, accompanied by an escort. Ho ascended the throne in the senate chamber. On his left was the Duchess of Devonshire and the ladies In waiting. The duke was attired In a uniform of state. On his right were Sir Robert Borden and Sir James Lougheed, leader of the government In the senate. In Windsor uniforms; officers of the headquarters staff In uniforms, and Judges uf the supreme court in their robes of state. The senate chamber is small, so that the attendance of ladles was restricted, and when the members of the commons arrived, following the formal Invitation conveyed by the gentlemen usher of the blnck rod there was hardly room to accommodate all. Reads Speech from Throne. Ills excellency, the Duke of Devonshire, road the speech from the throne In English and French. It was remarked that his accent w-J.Uo reading In French was good although, perhaps, not quite so perfect as his predecessor, the Duke of Connaught, who Is a very accomplished French scholar.

He nt once Introduced tho preliminary business of the session and moved that tho house take up the consideration of tbe ad dress on Monday. When moving tbo appointment of a special committee of the house to name standing committees, Mr. Hn7on Included that of John Stanfleld, the former chief Conservative whip. This occasioned some surprise, and Mr. i'ugsley asked: "Is that the late chief whip?" No ;an,swer. however^ was gtveti. The explanation of the mnttor is that a successor to Mr. Stansfleld lias not been chosen. When n choice Is mnde tbe name of the new whip will be substituted for that of Mr. Stanfleld. Both pnrty whips are al- wavs on this committee. Report on War Suonlies Inquiry.

PARTY STRONG Makes Its Influence Felt'at Liberal|Gathering ATTEMPT HADE TO DISMISS NEAL Premier Said to Have Consented to Retiring of Renwiek (Special to The Daily Nows.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 19.—The exponents of the no patronage principle made their influence felt at last night's meeting of tho Victoria Liberal association when they relegated to the position of second vice-president tbe nominee of the element which has been championing the principle that "to the victor belongs tbo spoils." Right up to tbo Inst minute the Internecine strife which waged around tho question of patronage or no patronage, a strife accentuated by the recent dismissal of Robert Renwlck, deputy minister of lands, separated the local Liberal camp into two factions, each of which had its followers out In force at the meeting. As a result of the polling a sort of compromise was effected In the election of Dr. Lewis Hull to tbe office of president, but the no patronage element scored when they elected their candidate for president, Mr. Goggen, to the office of first vice-president, the candidate of the other wing, E. J. Bawdcn, being forced to content himself with the office of second vice- president. Discussion Acrimonious. Acrimonious discussion preceded the election when the "regulars" insisted upon tho provisions of tho constitution that only accredited members of the various ward committees should be allowed to vote. But they were overruled by-their opnoVrtmts with the ro- sult that all present who could be vouched for as Liberals voted. It was In this mnnner that the non-patronage element secured its victory as its ranks were chiefly composed of those whose interest in the Liberal cause was due to conviction rnther thnn a hope for early reward for services rendered, the latter class, os is customary, having more or loss ignored the necessity of being duly accredited In order to be better in lino for rewards. The Renwlck dismissal Is by no means a dead issue and only lies quiescent pending tlie return of Premier Brewster, It is stated on good nuthor- ftv that the premier acquiesced in the order In council dismissing Mr. Renwlck, but that it was held up for two days owing to the refusal of tbe lieutenant-governor to sign it in tho absence of Mr. Brewster, who wns enst when the executive council approved of tbe dismissal, and that It was only after a message was sent to the premier nnd one received from tbo latter anprovlng of the dismissal that the lieutenant-governor's slffnnturc was secured to the order In council. Effort to Oust Neal. Prince Rupert seems productive of changes in the service, the latest cose of an attempt to oust o competent servant Is that of J. Neal, for the past seven months acting assistant horticulturist at Prince Rupert. Only recently he was recommended to be placed permanently In that position after several months' trial, but an effort to hav: him dismissed was made to provide a place for a party favorite. The change was not agreed to hy the minister of agriculture, it Is said, and that for days Mr. Neal's fate hung in the balance. He wns one of (he first to enlist for active service, but was taker ill at Salisbury Plains and was Invalided home. TILL REPARATION PLEDGED EARLY SETTLEMENT NOT NOW EXPECTED AT FERNIE ■Michel and Hiilcrest Men Issue Ultimatum—Endorsement by All Locals Being Asked. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) FERNH3-, B. C, Jan. 19.—Developments in the strike situation today have taken a more definite turn, and the outlook for an early amicable settlement is gradually giving way to a culmination of the crisis which will require excessive measures or the unconditional granting of the men's demand to prevent Indefinite interruptions of operations throughout district No. 18. No further cessations took place at Michel and Hiilcrest, of which local unions passed resolutions to the effect that work will not be resumed unless an Increase of 9% per cent as a war bonus on the ground earnings of all classes of mine labor is granted. Endorsement of the action taken by Michel and Hiilcrest is being sought from alt locals and unless something unexpected transpires within the next. 48 hours the organized mine workers will come out to a man. 500 Quit Work. FERNIE, B. C, Jan. 19.—Tho ranks of the striking miners were augmented to the extent of approximately 800 more when Michel and Hiilcrest ceased work today. The adoption of the resolutions for the uniform increase of 9% per cent by Hiilcrest and Michel is believed to be a step towards safeguarding the contract miners against a repetition of the method applied when tho previous bonus was granted. Then the contract men received 5 per cent while day wage employees benefited from 3 to 12 & per cent. The mtnen clnim the Increased cost of living has to be borne by them to the same decree as tlie others and insist, therefore, that all shall be regarded equally. Tonight there is not a gli amor from the coke ovens here, as they are sealed up until the supply of slack can be renewed. Shipments of coko consequently will cease immediately. Coal for local consumption s now off tlie market, as tho stock on hand is exhausted. The condition here In this respect, however, will not cause serious Inconvenience for a fortnight at least, as nearly everyone has mado preparations for such contKgenoy, and the company has been abb to fill all orders lately. SPEECH DECLARED CLOSE ON TREASON Dixon Assailed by Capt, Wilton in Manitoba Legislature for Anti- Registration Address. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, Jan. 19.—In a lengthy and forceful speech, Capt. .1. W. Wilton, Assinlboin, replied in the legislature today to F. J. Dixon's defense of the nnti-rcgistratlon movement. Capt Wilton conceded sincerity and courage to Mr. Dixon but impugned his logic and his patriotism. He described the position of Mr. Dixon as coming close to treason. Any one had a right, said Capt Wilton to agitate for the repeal of a law, but not to instigate persons to disobey It. If Mr. Dixon hnd done the latter, bo had placed himself within the pale of the criminal codo and hnd rendered himself to a year's Imprisonment. The speaker did not advocate Imprisonment for Mr. Dixon, because it was well known "that tbe blood of martyrs was tho seed of tbe church." Capt. Wllsoa placed himself fairly before Mr. Uixoa's argument and examined it in detail. After setting forth his idea of the reasons and justification for Britain's entry into tho war ho inquired why Mr. Dixon had not made bis anti-war stand manifest earlier. If It were true that Canadians were dying In vain in an unjust cause, their blood would cry to heaven against the man that believed this and held his peace. »It was a great speech and at its close tbe floor and the galleries resounded with applause. Albert Urefontalne, Carillon, the leader of tbo opposition, also expressed bis regret at the stand taken by Mr. Dixon. He said that, like other members of the house, he resented tho fact that while Canadians were dying In France a member of the legislature had tried to weaken their support at homo.

PARIS, Jan, 19.—President Polncaro has received Edward Marshall, an American newspaper writer, and talked with him In regard to President Wilson's note and tho reply of the allies. Tho crux of the Interview appears in theso words of the president: "We aro condemned to continue the war until we—our gallant allies and ourselves—can obtain the reparations and guarantees rendered Indispensable by tho aggressions of which we have been the victims, by the sacrifices to which we have subjected ourselves, and by tho losses wo have suffered. "Tlie United States," the president said, thoughtfully, "has remained neutral, but tho sympathies ot individual!, In every section have manifested themselves In favor of France and her allies. We have been deeply moved by innumerable demonstrations of friendship. There never haB been a day since soon after the beginning of the war on which I have not personally rcelv- ed from America a voluminous mail containing generous offerings for our Invaded populations, for our war widows nnd our war orphans. The letters which accompany theso tributes ema- nato from all social classes, and often aro expressed In very moving v.'cr'-ds. Other letters Tiring to mv warm wishes for the victory of France.

Wo are fighting for tho rights of tho Individual nnd for the liberty of peoples, j Violation of Belgium. 'The violation of Belgium brings out the symbolical significance of this whole war. Germany was not satisfied with declaring war upon us without provocation. She hnd willed to butcher us without warning nnd to attain thnt end she trampled under her feet In pnssing a little, Innocent people. This Is enough evldenco by which to Judge responsibilities of our enemies: it is enough to define tho nature of the struggle In which we arc engaged. The United states have made no mistake about this." "Are you willing to make some comment with regard to President Wilson's note?" was asked. "Knowing as we do the feelings of America*, we have not failed to understand the thought which Inspires tho recent initiative of President Wilson." M. Polncaro replied. "We wero at once convinced that In the mind of tho president the suggestion mado to tho belligerents wns In nccord with the traditional friendship between our two nations. But being conscious that wo nre fighting for mankind, we find ourselves without the right to lay down our weapons beforo wo can sign a pence really humane: that is to say, founded upon principles which would make It workable and lasting, which would be consistent with the rights ot nntions. nnd which would spare tho world from the repetition of such a terrible cutnstropho as this war. Un- hnpplly, It Is certain that Germany. who pretends now to consider horeolf victorious, although she can hardly entertain nny doubt as to tho end, Is not ripe yet for such a necessary peace, we, therefore, are condemned to continue the war until we—our gallant allies nnd ourselves—can obtain reparations nnd guarantees rendered indispensable by the aggression of which wo have been the victims; by the sacrifices to which wo havo subjected ourselves and by tho losses which we havo suffered.

The correspondent asked president Polncaro'whether Franco felt the return of her lost provinces, Alsace and Lorraine, as well as tho restoration of Belgium, essential to the conclusion of a satisfactory peace. "In our reply," said President Poin- care, "we also have spoken of the restitution of provinces torn away in the past by main strength or separated from us against tbe will of their inhabitants. Noto this, that during 41 years Franco hns strangled tbe pain which her old wounds have caused her. In 1S71 Germany took from her Alsace and Lorraine, against the unanimous wish of the inhabitants. Whatever may have been the burning regret which she felt for this, France never would have been willing to make a wnr of revenge. We know too well also what a war must cost, humanity. Instead, we waited, taking care to avoid all occasions for conflict. France has proved herself patient and resigned. She endured provocations such ns that of Agadlr and many others. But today when war was declared on her without just motives; today when hot- blood hns been poured out through the fault of others, how could she fall to claim vindication founded upon right und justice?

Mr. Dobell said that the fact that all milling companies raised tholr prices simultaneously to the same figure in aecordnnce wIt h tho ud- vance In wheat prices was no sign thai the millers were working in unison. While admitting thnt western Canada flour had been sold cheaper in Liverpool than In Winnipeg, he explained that there was a vast difference In the grades and thnt the poorer qualities sold in the old country wore not on the market here. Mr. Dobell attributed the high cost of flour to tho advancing wheat prices which, in turn, were directly traceable to tlie world labor shortage, stating that millions of men who wero formerly producers nre now ranked with the consuming class. Crop failures was another reason for the' advance. BAPTISTS FAVOR NONPARTY GOVERNMENT (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Starting off at 55%c in New York and 2U U-lGtl. in London, prices touched 77Ur' and 3"-&d. enrly lu May and, following a reactionary movement, these figures were closely approached In December. Compared with the low levels of 1015, there was an extreme advance of about 31c and 15d, respectively, and gains of 24'JJo and 13Vsd, wore shown over the quo tatiuns current just before the war. Various factors combined to explain the great strength of silver prices Inst year, hut the augmented demand from the mints of the entente powers, coincident with a diminished supply, was the immediate cause. Also, larger quantities were consumed hy India, while the business boom in the United States stimulated buying of tlie white metal for use in the arts. At 7-1,061,- 075 fine ounces, production In this country gained about 2,500,000 ounces in 1015, but the turbulent conditions in Mexico naturally curtailed tlie output there and tho world's total was considerably reduced, though exact statistics are not available. Domestic exports during 101U showed a material expansion, being valued at $lil,1,00,000 for eleven months, against $46,800,000 i in 1915, while the imports were $2S.- 700.000 as compared with j;ii!,ooo.floo in the early period.

BETHLEHEM STEEL AGAIN PROMINENT Gyrates Remarkably—Stock Quoted at 430 at One Point and Drops to 420 at Close. (By Dally Nows Leased Wlro.) NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—The gyrations of Bethlehem Steel, foremost of tho '"war fbrldefC' which fluctuated between 430 and 396 and closed at 420, a net loss of IB points, were the subject of much conjecture in today's extremely professional market. Transactions in Bethlehem Steel amounted to 8100 shares, Its largest total for any single session In many months. Today's minimum quotation represents a groan decline of 74 points since Tuesday; 119 from the high level of the first week of the month and 304 from its maximum of 700 attained last November, Until the final hour the rest of the active list und for that matter many Inactive Issues, pursued an Irregular, hut upward course. United States Steel und affiliated Industrials, as well as minor munitions and equipments, showed extreme gains of 1 to 3 points, with 2 to 4 for Mercantile Marinec and United Fruit and 6 for Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. Metals, motors, sugars, leathers and fertilizers also were variably better, with Mexicans and numerous utilities, particularly gas shares, Ohio Gas leading at a gain or 6 points. There were the usual spasmodic advances In shares of no specific description, with 1 to 3 points In Sears- Rneluiek, Industrial Alcohol and Pitts- Coal. The movement In rails was restricted lo low priced shares, aside from moderate gains in Reading, Louisville & Nashville, Delaware & Hudson and Chicago & Northwestern, closing prices were 1 to 3 points under the top. Total sales of stocks 509,0040 shares. Exchange rates on Petrograd and Rome felt tu new low records, with further heaviness in remittances to Berlin and Vienna. Steadiness ruled In sterling and francs, with Increased strength in Swiss exchange, Concessions in all existing International bond issues were associated with the more attractive terms of the new British external loan.

CHICAGO, 111, Jan, 19.—Rising rates of vessel Insurance on the Atlantic tended today to depress the wheat market as did an apparent check In export demand. Prices closed heavy, 1% to 2% net lower, with May at $1.88 and July at $1.52%. Oats lost % to % and provisions closed 5 to 12% cents higher. Disquiet in regard to Increased perils of ocean commerco handicapped the wheat bulls from the outset, hut at first the market was helped upward by hopes that the urgency of European need of supplies would prove more than an offset. The fact gradually he- camo ovldent, however, that new purchases for Europe were not being rushed. Holders who had profits in sight made haste lo realize and while doing so received a decided jolt from announcements that marine underwriter were boosting charges to record breaking figures. Refusal by the interstate commerce commission to In- creaso storage charges on export grain seemed ulso to count in favor of the bears, although the commission's action did not affect sentiment much if at all during the early part of the session. Considerable notice was taken of news from Baltimore that 700,000 bushels of wheat was on steamers not yet reported as cleared, and there was 'bearish comment ulso on the circumstance that north Atlantic shipments for the week showed an apparent falling off more than 2,500,000 bushels as compared with a year ago. Bearish domestic crop reports formed something of an additional weight on the market. Opening bulges In both corn and oats faded away and were succeeded by declines. Advances in the provision market resulted chiefly from higher quotations on hogs. SALES TOTAL SMALL NUMBER AT TORONTO Public Utilities the Most Prominent Issues—Steel Stocks Inactive and Weak.

"P" writes to the Spectator as follows: "I have hit on a plan which does mo personally a lot of good, and which, I think, mny assist others. 1 am hopeless in money matters, and although I make up and down about .CI500 a year and live most simply, I never scorn to save. Now this Is all changed. I made it a point of honor to buy one lis. war loan voucher every day, and I am beginning already to be proud of my growing heap. I mention my income because I used to feel that I should be above only 5s. instalments, and thought 1 must wait and put together, say, £100, and put that in In one lump, but r knew in my own mind what that would moan. Another groat point about It is that one realizes how small sums saved mount up, and also it Is splendid to be reminded day by day in this way of one's duty to save, and it Is astonishing how a 'taxi' less here and cigar less there provides, without any hardship, the wherewithal, Until 1 started my plan I thought suoh daily savings were too small to matter, but now I know better and feel better ns the result." The other letter to the Spectator, which is written by B. Palmer.Ivirby Lonsdale, Westmoreland, Is as follows: "The present admonitions of the cabinet ministers and others on tho necessity for practising economy and thrift during tho continuance of these trying times, and after, make no allusion to thnt spirit of true independence produced by a contented mind, which goes to the root of tho whole matter. The advice given us seems lo be based by our rulers and guides upon tiic low ground of expediency. It mny be that, in your opinion, the following translation by A. Cowley from Martial, Lib. 11. Eplg. 53. comes near to touching the spot: "Would you lie free? 'Tls your chief wish, you say. Come on. I'll show thee, friend, the certain way. If to no' feasts abroad, thou lov'st to go. While bounteous tiod does broad at home bestow; If Ihou the goodness of thy clothes dost prize. By thine own use. and not by others' eyes; If only safe from weathers thou canst dwell In a small house—but a convenient shell; If thou, without a sigh, or golden wish, Canst look upon thy heechen bowl and dish; If in thy mind such power and greatness lie.

If that commodity, whatever it may be, were of any avail Belgium would now be Intact, Serbia would be attending to her Internal affairs. Even Mexico would have ceased to be a problem. So Jar as she Is concerned she has been subsisting upon a diet of moral suasion for somo yenrs past, mainly at our expense. Personalities are always to be avoided and they are not fair when applied to presidents who, by the nature of their office, cannot talk back. It is necessary therefore to consider Mr. Wilson only In the respect that public office always lays every man open to criticism in the discharge of ttio duties of that office, In the discharge of these duties Mr. Wilson niter his reelection, continues to exhibit two qunlitics which nre not helpful to the solution of the problems with which any president at any time is confronted day by day. These arc personal ambition nnd cowardice. Mr. Wilson would like to lie handed down In history ns the supreme mediator in tho world war. He is no longer actuated by the desire for reelection responsible for the Adamson act and othor mischievous activities in the past year. But his ambition is insatiable, nnd lie seems to desire to mnko a new record, if Mr. Roosevelt earned the Nobel Peace prize mainly by keeping his mouth shut at tho right time, why should not. Mr. Wilson earn it by keeping his month open all the time? But Mr. Wilson's ambition curiously conflicts with a. cowardice in office which has made him take back practically every conviction he ever expressed. He has been for strict neutrality and the enforcement of pence, for disarmament and preparedness, and for a dozen other incompatible tilings. But he has been prepared to abandon -very one of them when the maintenance of his latest conviction would mean a fight. lie hns now learned that the constitution u\' the t'nited States, to say nothing of Its traditional policy inherited from Qeorge Washington, and tlie obligations of the Monroe doctrine, do not permit the president to engage this country In tt ."league to enforce peace,'*' or vaccination, or birth control, or prohibition, or anything else. Hence the "morn! suasion" backdown, only one more of a long series. It was once said that Mr. Taft was the best liked and best licked president of modern limes.

What this means is Been by estimating what an equivalent effort would produce in the United States. Our continental population Is now Just about 14 times the population of Canada. What Canada bus done In raising an army for the defense of the empire is equivalent, in proportion to population to an army of about 5,000.0110 men raised by the United States.

It is only at the very beginning, before a young man has started his career, that bo is required In Switzerland lo give up two months of his time to military training, Thereafter all that is required of him Is the maintenance of his marksmanship and participation In the annual training, which lasts for only one or two weoks. It Is not n choice between weakness and militarism that faces tiio Amori' can people, hut the question of equal service to tho state.

No one of my fellows can do that special work for me which 1 havo come into the world to do; ho may do a higher work, a greater work, but he cannot do my work. I cannot hand my work over to him any more than I can hand over my responsibilities or my gifts, I must do it with these hands or these lips which God has given me. I may do little or I may do much. That matters not. It must be my own work. And by doing my own work, poor ns it may seem to some, I shall better fulfil Qod's end in making me what I am, and more truly glorify His name, than if I were either going oiit of my own sphere to do the work of another, or calling another into my sphere to do my proper work for me.—.Tohn Ruskin.

Every Christian man is under obligation to recognize his kindred with every other christian man—his kindred in the deep foundations of his spiritual being, which are far deeper and ought to be far more operative in drawing together than the superficial differences of culture or opinion or the like, which may part us. The 'bond that holds christian men together is their common relation to (he one Lord and that ought to influence their attitude to one another.—Alexander .McLaren. FRAGMENTS OF THOUGHT. The humblest man or woman can live splendidly. That is the royal truth we need to believe, you and I, who have no "mission" and no great sphere to move in.—William C. Gannett. That by which a man conquers, in any passage, is a profound secret to every other being In the world; and It Is only ns he turns his hack on us and on all men, and draws on this private wisdom, that any ftood can come to him.—Emerson. The greatest benefactor to mankind, as I conceive it, is not th,o person whose name Is talked about, not the person whose nchieveincnts are recorded in papers and encyclopaedias, but it is the person who never noticed and not greatly honored, the person who manages to convey to his fellowmen and even to children, the breath of the Spirit of God.—R. F. Horton. Prayer gives serenity, calmness, peace, trust, after the anxieties of expectancy, the exultations of success,, the agonies of sorrow and bereavement. What is prayer, that it will make us tlitis tranquil and joyous, thus calm and trustful? What Is prayer that it purifies and exalts us, helps us to live worthily and hopefully? It is an Irrepressible sense of want of seeking supplies from the Infinite Fulness, it is aspiration climbing, along tho craggy pathways to the Fountain of all joys and fruitiqns.— George Simmons.

THE SCHOOL OF SORROW. 1 sat In the school ol sorrow, I Where the light was dreary and dim; learning life's long, hard lesson, And my cup seemed full to the brim. My eyes were heavy with weeping, My heart was aching with pain; For I feared that my niitenrn'd lesson Would grieve my Teacher again. But still 1 sat In the shadow. My eyes running over with tears, * My lesson spread out before me, Battling with doubts and with fears, For I felt the weight of my burden Was more than my strength could bear; And 1, alas, had forgotten The Helper who's ever near. But while my burden was pressing My weary soul to the earth, A radiance shown thro' the darkness, A ray of celestial birth. And 1 heard my Teacher speaking In a gentle, loving tone, "Tell me thy doubts and sorrows. Thou canst not bear them alone." So I dried my tears of sorrow, And looked thro* the mists of pain, And tlie sun outside was shining As after a summer rain, And my weary soul grew stronger. And my gloomy spirits bright. For no longer I dreaded my lesson; My Teacher had brought me light. And now, tho* I still am learning In the school of sorrow and pain, I dread not the frown of my Teacher As He looks o'er my tasks again, For I go forth and seek some sad one Who is weary and faint with bis toad, And I whisper the words that eheer'd me And brlghten'd my darksome road. —The Westminster. Rev. A. E, Rush, who for three years was pastor of the Central Methodist church at Woodstock. Out., Until he was superannuated in 1900, Is dead after a long illness. He was hi his -87th year, NEW ZEALAND'S PREMIER IN DUBLIN DUBLIN, Ireland—The Hon. W. F, Massoy, prime minister of New Zealand, was recently entertained at a mayoral banquet in Dublin. The lord lieutenant and Lieut-Gen. Sir Bryce Mahon wore nmbng the distinguished guests present. In reply to a toast Mr. Massoy said he was glad to find that Ireland, his native country, was prosperous. There was a parallel between Ireland and New Zealand In the matter of agricultural prosperity, and in his adopted country, thnt prosperity, he was pleased to say, depended upon tho energy. Industry and enterprise of Its settlers -Its farmers—who, tn a large extent, hailed from Ireland. Irelnnd had taken a somewhat prominent part In the public affairs of N>w Zealand—Its public affairs both legislative and nd- minlstrative. Lord iMunkelt. an Irishman, Who was well known in Dublin, wns governor of New Zealand a few yenrs a*0, and at that time the speaker nf the legislative council was nn Irishman, the speaker of the house of representatives was nn Irishman, and the leader of the opposition was an Irishmnn. The author of their education system, which hart stood the test for 40 years, was n graduate- of Trinity college, and probably one nf the best speakers who ever presided over tlie legislative assembly, was nn Irishman—Sir Maurice O'Rourke. Irishmen, he went on, had done credit to their native land in the war. and he hoped they would come in increased numbers, so as to nut a victorious end id the struggle, They should all lie careful that reinforcements should he kept up. He had not the slightest doubt about Hip result of the war. Rut If they did not do their duty in the matter of reinforcements a«d supnlles. the end would be unduly delayed. It was the duty of every citizen of tho Empire, no matter where he was located—to do everything In his power to bring the war lo a satisfactory and definite conclusion. New Zealand, out of a population of l.tOO.QOO. had sent out 75,000 soldiers to assist the Empire In her struggle: the expenditure of the colony was over a million a month in connection with the war. The people of New Zealnnd were noxious, as soon as it could he arranged, that there should bo a closer union between them and tho centre of the Empire. Ho thought they wore entitled to It. Thoy wore anxious to wet nwoy from the relations which thoy bad with Germany prior to the war, and they felt that It should not bo necessary to go outside the Empire lo got all the things that they required. Every ship sunk by the Germans, every crime committed, should he a Htronger reason for golnif on until il. was made impossible for Europe to experience a repetition of this war for centuries to come. As a race we are said to be addicted to eating of hot breads.. But it is doubtful If there Is anything heavier and more indigestible in the cook's list of hot breads than English muffins, Some of the Viennese breakfast breads too, are a bit heavy, and probably ev ery country of Europe would havo to plead guilty ut the bar if accused of producing breakfast breads that defy tho requirements of .digestibility. Whatever the real situation with regard to hot breads may be, the fact remains that good muffins or other hot breads makes breakfast worth the eating. And the Canadian cook who has mastered the art of muffin making may he counted successful. Thore are two tests to put to breakfast broadH. One is put by the cook, and that has to do with the tlmo and trouble required In tholr preparation. Tho other has to do with flavor and texture, and that comes from those who oat thom. Always let breakfast breads cool slightly on a cloth or wire rack before sending to tho table. They will then bo moro .digestible and more easily handled than If sent to the table literally piping hot. Heat all muffin tins before putting, in tho muffin mixture. The muffins; rise more thoroughly and more quick-1 ly when put Into hot tins. Remember, too, that most muffins need a quick oven. Dopove.rs need a quick oven, but thoy also need long and thorough cooking, and some popover cooks let them stay In the oven 40 minutes. I'opovers—I'opovers, robbers* caves, or wheat puffs, as they are variously called, are not difficult to make. The Ingredients needed are two unbeaten eggs, two cupfnls of milk and two cup- fuls of flour, with a quarter of .a teaspoon of salt. Ileal all thoroughly to (father until not a lump remains, and then pour the mixture into very hot muffin puns, well greased, filling them about half full. Cook thoroughly until one broken open is hollow inside and shows a firm wall or crust. Emergency Biscuit—Mnko a good baking powder biscuit dough and drop it, by spoonfuls, into well-greased muffin pans. These biscuits nre crusty little things nnd especially delicious if you have tho continental habit of serving honey or Jam at breakfast. A good rule for the dough is this: Mix six even teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one of salt with throe, cupfnls of flour. .Sift all together three times and [■^hen chop in, with a silver knife, six tnblesponnfuls of butter, lord or some other shortening agents. Mix together quickly with a knife, and add a cupful of cold water. Mix lightly and then put In a greased pan with n spoon.

I tlie' komoB llivmMv.Ofl, as long aa tlioj; LONDON, England—The National Union of Women's Suffrage societies havo Issued a memorandum "showing cause why women should take part in the elcetfon of the parliament which is to deal with problems of reconstruction out of the war." The Interest nnd tbo value of this document Ho in the fact that it deals with the enfranchisement of women In the fresh light that the war has served to throw upon it. Setting nside the familiar arguments relating to the right of tax payers to representation and tbe enumeration of the evils from which women suffer owing lo their having no voice In the framing of the laws, the memorandum deals directly with those circumstances which have so enormously strengthened the women's claim to he heard on matters vitally effecting their status, a. claim which Mr. Asqulth fully conceded in his speech of Aug. 14. So unquestionable has it become, that, should the conference, on electoral reform fall In recommending, some practical scheme for the franchise Including both men and women, a serious situation would threaten the country. The object of the memorandum is to lay facts so clearly before the public as to avert this situation by prompting a timely recognition of the urgency of a franchise reform which will admit women as well as men to citizenship. The government, the memorandum points out, has given certain pledge, to labor which will have to be redeem ed; but to find a way of redeeming these pledges without injustice to women and without economic loss to the country will be difficult. If parliament attempts to solve this problem while women are still disfranchised, It will lay itself open tn the charge of protecting Interests of voters at tho expense of those who are not voters. There can be no doubt of the readiness of women to recognize tho paramount claim of those who have given un their positions in industry to answer the call of nrms. . . . with their quickened and deepened sense of citizenship they are not willing that their interests should bo bargained away by a parliament over which they have no control, or that they should be treated as a football in a gamo hetween capital nnd tabor with tbe government acting ns umpire. It would be a pity in a survey of the detnlls sot forth in this memorandum. engrossing as thoy aro, to fall to grasp tbo extraordinary significance of tho revolution In the economic and soclnt ltfe of the country which it denotes. The war has swept away the four main causes which hindered women from taking their due place In the industrial life of the country: (a) The tradition that restricted woman's "place to the home," (b) the belief that women, with certain exceptions, were Incapable of nny but tho lightest form of work, fc) tack of training which stood in the way of skilled employment, (d) the opposition of trade unions. As to this last deterrnnt to woman's work, it Is not yet wholly destroyed, though, owing to the country's need, the nntago- hlsm of trnde unions has heen allayed. Before the war, as Is shown by the memorandum, though women wero practically excluded from nearly all skilled trades, with tho exception of those regarded as peculiarly women's province, this exclusion was never legalized and was carried out without conflict between either men or women or men and employers. Rut this tacit acceptance belongs to the pre-war period. Conditions have so radically changed that such a solution, if it can be termed one, can no longer he accepted, Even more unacceptable, because further removed from justice, Is the undertaking given by the government to trade unions that women shall he turned out at the end of the vttit Such a.faot, states the metnorandum, is a wholly now oho in" English Industrial histpry. Both employers find trade unions, it goes on, will have political menus bf Influencing legislation, but remain voteless, possess no such Influence. 'And It must not be forgotten thnt any legislation directly bearing on the position of those women who are now doing skilled work or other work which is regarded as specially men's work, must affect tbe whole of the 6,- 000,000 women employed, insofar ns it narrows or widens the possibilities of employment open to women, and also Insofar as It affects the question of wage rates. The problem, therefore, Is not confined to the reinstatement of men in positions that during the wnr have been filled by women, but extends to the whole question of the status of women in the economic life of the nation, and the parliamentary solution of this problem calls for the direct represcntution of the Interests of women. The board of trade statistics quoted by tho national union's memorandum sho wthe number of women employed on commercial and industrial work (excluding outworkers and domestic servants) to have increased during the last two years by StiG.OOO, the total In July lOlfi being approximately 4,080,000 Of this number 710,000 are reported by employers ns directly replacing men or , doing work formerly regarded as men's work. With regard to the testimonies of efficiency in skilled work, many nf which are quoted in tho memorandum, It Is to be noted that in most cases the industrial training received by the women concerned has been a very short one, as compared with the men, by whoso standard they are judged. The opinion of a number of public men as to the effect of the adoption of woman suffrage on the stales which they represent is also given at the close of the memorandum. Tho most remarkable Of theso testimonies is that of the Anstrllnn senate embodied in n resolution passed on Nov. 17, RI10, It said: "That this senate Is of the opinion thnt the extension of the suffrage to the women of Australia for stntes and the commonwealth parliaments has had tho most beneficial results. It has led to the more orderly condiu-l of election, and at the last federal election the women's vote in a majority of the states showed a greater proportionate increase than that cast by men. It has given a greater prominence to legislation particularly affecting women and Children, although the women have not taken up such questions to the exclusion of others of wider significance. In matters of defense and imperial concern they have proved themselves as far seeing and discriminating as men. Because the reform hns brought nothing but good, though disaster was freely prophesied, we respectfully urge that all nations enjoying representative government would be well advised in granting voles to women.

It is consequently! able to provide a great export market for a pre-eminently industrial country such as Great Britain; and at the same time constitutes an admirable sphere for the Investing of capital for the development of local Industries. Italy Is very rich in every : kind of agricultural and natural product, and can therefore, become an Inexhaustible source of raw materials for British Industry and trade. Tho Italian colonies in the Mediterranean and the Indian ocean have an area of some 766,000 square miles. These can likewise become an immense and excellent outlet for English manufactures and capital, and on the other hand, for Ihe exportation of raw matorials to England, to the mutual advantage of the maritime trade between tbe two countries. Long before the outbreak of tho war Germany had realized the importance of the Italian market and had established there, for her own advantage, very considerable banking and commercial interests. The Economy of the Best is realized by the millions and enjoy who use The Original and Genuine Worcestershire Sauce. It goes further and adds more to the zest and flavor of food than any of its many imitators. Sold by Grocers Everywhere. Write for our Kitchen Booklet to H.

How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different, Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well- founded. Their tender little "Insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentlo. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative'' handy; they know children love to take it; that it never falls to clean tho liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a tea spoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a BO-conl bottle of "California Syrup of Figs' which has full directions for hahles, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle..... Beware, of counterfeits sold here. See that It Is made by "California Fig Syrup company." Refuse any other kind with contempt.
