LONDON, Oct. 20.—Parliament today adopted a resolution presented by Premier Lloyd George expressing the thanks ot parliament to the army and the navy, . including the overseas troops and the mercantile marine, for their services In the war and to the women in' the medical and other auxiliaries services, and further expressing sympathy to relatives and friends of those who have give* their lives for their country. LONDON, Oct. 29.—(Via Reuter's Ottawa Agency.)—Premier Lloyd George, in' moving the resolution expressing the thanks of the government to all branches of the forces said that even had be leisure in these terrible times, especially during the anxiety of the last few days, he felt he could not do justice to this grent theme. The deeds referred to In the resolution had wonv tho admiration . and gratitude of every subject of his ma jesty, and ha. felt no words were needed to commend the acceptance of the resolution to any body of Britons throughout the world. Referring to the navy, he said it was like a vital Internal organ, tho existence of whloh we are unconscious of until something goes wrong. The navy, was token for granted, tlje navy wns the anchor of the allied cause. If it lost hold, tho hopes of the allies would be shattered. To understand the great part of the navy ono hail only to Imagine what would have happened if the navy had been defeated even a year ago. Our armies in France, Mesopotamia, Saloniki and Egypt would have languished and finally vanished for lack of support in men and materials. France' would have been deprived, not merely of our support, but of the material assistance which the British navy enabled us' stilt to get from abroad and would have been unable probably to defend herself agalnRt the overwhelming hordes of the foe. Optimittio About Italy Italy, deprived of coal, ammunition and food, would havo fallen ready prey to her fierce and vindictive enemy—which she had not done as yet and would not do. (Cheers.) Russia would Indeed have been defenseless and he said that but for the British navy an overwhelming disaster would have befallen the allied cause. (Cheers.) The Prussians would have been insolent mistress of Europe, and through Europe of the world. Never in the whole affairs of tho world had the British navy heen a more potent or more beneficlent influence In the affairs of men. Despite hidden foes and black piracy, it had preserved the highway of the seas for Britain and her allies. Since the war began the navy had transported 13.000,000 men, 2,000,000 horses, 25,000,000 tons of explosives and supplies, 51,000,000 tons of coal ana oil fuel for the fleet; armies and needs of the allies. Out of these 18,000,000 men only 8500 had been lost, of which 2700 had been lost through the action of the enemy. All that was apart from the prodigious quantity of food and other material, totaling a hundred and thirty million tons, which had been transported in British ships. This, Indeed, had been a triumph for that navy. (Cheers.)

Oct. 29.—The situation in ]j regard to the iron and steel supplies • remains serious. Rigid economy in j[' every scrap of metal is strongly urged. ,.As the result of a visit of F. C. T. IjtyHai-a, deputy minister of trade and i commerce, has paid to Washington, [some misunderstandings have been fcleared up In respect to procedure In rhundllng both of export license appll- rcatkmsand applications for priority Fasslstance. Arrangements have been I made, too, which It is hoped will great- Ply aasist the Canadian manufacturer ■to secure the articles ho needs in the | United States. It Is pointed out here, however, that ['■demands In the United States are ab- h normal. Thejp is even a likelihood Ithat a number of Canadian manufac- Iturers will have to face sacrifice in the I future for the reason that it is not I possible for the United States to sup I ply many materials required for com I raercial purposes In Canada. Further, (•there Is reason to believe that there ,]will be scarcity of'materials required [Lin Canada for the manufacture of ar htlclea which might properly be re' igarded us articles contributory to the Iwar. It Is felt that the situation can ■only be met by the strictest economy fin the use of metals. Arrangements have been reached Iwlth Washington whereby all articles ■now requiring priority shall first be [covered by a priority application made the United States shipper. Such application must be forwarded to the department of trade and commerce, Ottawa, and the department, upon investigation as to the need and ur- f of the article in Canada, will ■ecommend such priority as it can, 1 on the scheme laid down by jjudge.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The better feeling created in stock market circles lost Saturday by the successful flotation of the second Liberty Loan was almost entirely swept astda today by tbe discouraging advices from Italy. At least theBe were cited as-the principal reason for the violent reaction which ranged from 3 to 5 points in potential Issues. Low records for periods covering two to 15 years were established by high grndo and minor rails, Industrials and inactive specialties, also local utilities, notably tbe tractions. Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific were the objects of renewed pressure, the former making an extreme decline of 6% to 138%. Other transcontinental grangers and coalers lost 2 to 3 points, with barely more than nominal rallies. Industrials experienced equally severe . reverses, active steels, coppers, equipments, motors, oils, tobaccos and sugars losing 2 to 7 % points and many unclassified shares 2 to 4. Exchange on Italy reflected the reverse to the arms of that country anc< Hussian government bonds weakened on the curb. New Liberty fours were traded in for the first time at par to $100.02, the threes.and halfs showing less activity at 99.04 to 99.06. The general bond list was heavy.

Pressure was markedly tn evidence in Brazilian, Mackay and tho ateol stocks, while Canadian Pacific railway which broke in New York, was treated in locally to tbe extent of three shares only at 143. The closing bid of C. P. R., however, was only 138%, with 140 asked. Brazilian', both in activity and extent of decline, was tho market feature. -The stock was thrown on the market In large blocks. Absorption power was small, and the price sagged off to 32,. at which it closed. In tho.'steel group, Dominion Steel and Steel of Canada proved readily vulnerable. The former opened weak at 54% and dropped to n'i%, a loss of 2% points from Saturday. Tho closing bid waa only 51%. Steel of Canada was hammered down to 19% after opening at 51. Mackay was unloaded in quite heavy volume, closing at 73%, the lowest point, a net loss of 1% points. The list of losses included also General Electric, 1 point; Maple Leaf, 1% points.

BLUHSTONB AND SPELTER Caused by Rains in Grain Areas and News From Italian Front— Provisions Fluctuate (By Dally News Leased. Wire.) CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—Persistent rains that appeared to be rendering much corn unfit for food lifted the corn market todtyy, although some temporary weakness resulted from the German Invasion of tho north Italian plains. In the end prices were firm, % to %c higher for December at 1.18 & and May at 1.13}4 to 1.1394. . Oats gained 8c to %o. The finish in provisions varied from 5 cents decline to a rise of 16 cents. At first, corn traders did not seem disposed to attach any market significance to the vlslssitudes of the Italian armies. Wet weather delays to the movement of the new crop formed the Initial dominating influence and also brought about a moderate advance of values. Later, however, the fact that the Italian retreat had bearlslily affected the New York stock market led to some Increase of selling pressure on the corn. The resultant, setback in this, however, failed to last and tho upward swing that ensued became pronounced ln the final hour of the session. Oats merely duplicated the action of irn; Advances In the hog market, together with enlarged export of bacon, gave some strength to provisions.

The Venerable H. W. Woodward, vicar-general of the diocese of Zanzibar and East Africa and archdeacon of Magila, has presented a petition to the commander-in-chief, East Africa, on behalf of himself and the other prisoners Interned In prison camps. He says .the prisoners (all civilians debarred from leaving the colony at the. outbreak of war), apn rt . from hardships, insults and privations at the hands of the guards, have been purposely subjected to cruelties and treatment calculated to lower the prestige of the British race in tho eyes of the natives. On an appeal against such treatment the prisoners were informed that they had no rights and that, parties making such appeal would be severely punished. The petition prays that a court of Innulry be constituted to verify the allegations contained in the schedule; that all guards and their superior officers responsible for the administration of the various prison camps be detained pending such inquiry; and that the court shall deal with the matter. Much of the evidence referred to In the schedule of the petition is unfit for publication as It refers to loathsome work (such as carrying drums of excrement) Imposed upon men prisoners for and In Ihe presence of natives and unnatural sufferings caused to women. As an example of this,. English ladies were nlaced in a shed with open door outside which Germnn soldiersstrimvd and had their bath. T*»e German'" followed the i^»tr- lish ladles to t*»e lavatory a"d pushed open the door when one ,was inside. Another Geissler The statement of the Rev. A. B. Heller, M. A., Oxon, inspector of fcchdols In Zanzibar diocese, haB many references to ono Dorrcndorr, a German planter. Dorrenilorf was in charge at Klborl- anl (a church missionary society sanatorium turned Into a prison camp). "Miss Davey left Kiborla'ni to nurse al Killmatlnde. It was necessary to yo to Culwe Station, 20 miles away. It was pourins with rain, und she asked for a native chair. Dorrendorf abused ber violently and refused. "Klborlanl, where Dorrendorf was In charge, was the only place to my knowledge where priests and ladies were made to work. The ladies had to make socks and underclothing for the Germans. Kiborlani was supposed to be a first-cltfas camp, to'which privileged, prisoners' were sent, especially ladles. Dorrendorf had a reputation, before the war, of {rrosH brutality towards natives. "Dorrendorf built a special punishment cell, w)iich be called Ross.' Villa, after a British prisoner towards whom lie was piH'tleularly malignant. Dorrendorf ordered us to lake off our hats to any German we passed at any time Of the day. Vanishments wfci'<: inllieicd on any one who omitted this .salute. The KI.joria.ni prisoners were moved to Buigtii, with Donendort' In charge. The behavior of the native guards towards the prisoners at Kilmrlanl was extremely insolent, and was encouraged by Dorrendorf, The guards would enter our rooms (even thoso of the ladies) and compel the occupants to leave their beds. Miss Home, a nurse, was ordered to leave KlboMaril for Kil- tamtindo to altend typhoid cases. Dorrendorf would not allow her a native chair, and she was compelled to walk the 20 miles to Klllmatinde. Miss Dut- ton, of the mission, waa a few minutes late at work one morning, and Dorrendorf abused her violently and threatened her with bread ami water. "Dorrendori was TreQuently the worse for liquor and extremely noisy. Once he broke Into a room In which six of the ladles wore sleepiu','. Forty-nine European prisoners (nearly all British), thiriy-four of whom were ladles and twelve of whom were babies ln arms, were taken by Dorrendori' from Buigiri to Tabora. We wulked to Kikombo. We wero marched straight into an iron goods-shed, together with forty-one native prisoners. Armed askaris were posted on all four sides of the shed. Dorrendorf gave orders that the ladies wero to be allowed to go to the lavatory two at a time under armed escort. "One of tbe askaris was very insulting and brought Dorrendorf and Gerth the other German guard. Gerth kicked against the shed and shouted. Someone laughed, thinking it was a native. Gerth entered. He had been drinking. He was purple with rage. He abused us. Then Dorrendorf entered in a similar state. He abused the English nation. He abused Sister Eva (Miss Clutterbuck) violently, and said English women make more trouble than the men, and finally, instructed the jyuard to shout at once any man or woman, white or black, who moved. He went out saying "Swine!" We wei;e left without food for twenty-two hours, until wo wrote for some. (The sufferings of the women are then described.) "At 10 a. in. Miss Plant sent A note den to mako a fire, and soul a quantity of rice, a lump of fresh pork, and a bucket of water. About midday the heat was dreadfuj. There was no ventilation, except for one window covered with matting. The askarl said Dorrendorf was asleep and we sthould have to wall. "lu Tabora a charge of immorality was brought ngainst Dorrendorf. the origin or Inception of which I do not know. Every woman who had been in boofe KIDNEY '/PIUS .Klboriani or Buigiri was sent for and asked throe questions by" Lieutenant Hahn. "At KJbpriani we did fear that the ladies might "be assaulted by Dorrendorf, and Padre White,snd myself had formed a plan,of action In such event." IS COMMITTED FOR TRIAL ON GRAIN STEALING CHARGE Archie Dean Given Preliminary Hearing at' M"ose Jaw— Rudle to Be Charged Tuesday I MOOSE JAW, Sask., Oct. 29,— Archie Dean, held in connrction with tbe theft of grain from cars on the Canadian Pacific railway siding at Parkberg, was given a preliminary hearing thrs afternoon and committed for trial to a higher court. Dean was charged with the theft of 100 bushels of grain from the car. Three witnesses were heard, they being Morrison, the station agent at Parkberg; George Garrett, another member of the gang; and Provincial Constable Nicolson. Tho latter's evidence had to do with a statement mado^ by the accused to the constable while held ftwnitlng trial. On Tuesday morning tho trial of M. Rudle for theft of a quantity of grain will be commenced. Rudle Is also held on a charge of attempted murder, but it is not likely tbat this charge will be gone ahead with until the trial of the others on the grain theft charges has been concluded. ■ 1ANS IN CH LIST i-=.Hf:s.Di5 " (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

ANOTHER FINE PERFORMANCE BY THE CANADIANS Once more under conditions of al- moBt unexampled difficulty the Canadian troops have won high honors for their splendid work ut the front. When the British troors advanced west of Fasschandaele Friday they pushed forward through marshy lands which the enemy believed Impassable and Sir Douglas Haig has pnyed a warm tribute to the part played by the Canadian boys in the victory. "While all the troops did well and contributed materially to the results achieved, the performance ot the Canadian divisions ln particular was remarkably fine," states the commander in chief. The Canadians have won many laurels at the front. Time and time again they have doac something especially memorable which has thrilled the hearts of the people at homo. The victory of Passchamlaele is one ol these. It seems almost unthinkable that any seotlon ot public opinion in Canada should be averse to the employment oi selective conscription in order to assure that the Canadian divisions shall be kept reinforced nnd enabled to con- tinuo in strength to strike at the Germans. those whose policy would result in Canada retiring from effective participation in the war. There can be no union between Laurier adherents and supporters of the Unionist government. The union that has taken plaeo has been a union of wholehearted Win-the-War conscrlptlonists of all parties. ARMY DISORDER IS SYMPTOM, NOT DISEASE Officers of the Petrograd garrison make the declaration that the "lack of any sense of responsibility" In the men of the Russian army "will complete the ruin of the country." Perhaps the Petrograd military commanders are unduly pessimistic us to the ultimate effect of tive lack of discipline in the army, but unfortunately It is too evident thnt the statement of present conditions is close to the truth. Russia's army Is little better than a rabble. Perhaps the inclination is to criticise too severely the government at Petrograd tor tailing io reestablish order. It hns no efficient force with which id enforce the laws. The police count for nothing under tho conditions which exist In Russia and. the army is the most noisy centre of anarchy. Obviously, If control ol' the army were gained, there would soon Ik- an end of internal disturbances. It is this fact which has perhaps misled the Russian government. It hus treated the army as the disease instead of the symptom of the trouble, lt still appears, from tliis distance, that the disorder in the army is but the symptom of tho real disease, which is economic disorder among the civilians at the rear. If Russia's internal diseases were remedied disorders in the army would soon bo cured. Germany's successes against Italy will not relieve tho hunger of a sin- gle German nor weaken the entente blockade one iota. Preparedness to purchase Victory war bonds is what will count when the Issue is offered to the Canadian people. A shortage of metal on this continent has become apparent. The deputy minister of trade and commerce states that the utmost economy should be exercised. A statement going into details should be given as a guide to the public. Lloyd George: "In tho principal, theatre of the war the enemy Is going steadily downward and Germany has been beaten by the French and British armies." That point should not be forgotten. It is on the western front that the main Issue of the war will be decided. It is to be hoped that the attendance ol" Unionists who intend to support the Unionist government candidate to be nominated at the convention Friday will he large at the Nelson meeting Thursday which is to select, delegates. The call states that the meeting will be open to all the many Unionists in Nelson, no matter what their former party affiliation. NA TION A L H YPOCRISY, BRITISH AND GERMAN WAR POLICY IS THE SUPREME ISSUE Canada'a Unionist government is composed of rrpronentutIves of tbo Conservatives, Liberals aud Labor men who are milled on lhe policy of vigorous prosecution of tbe war, including tho complete and effective enforcement uf thn Military Service act. Victory for the Unionist government at the forthcoming election will mean a victory for the Canadian soldiers at the front. It will mean tbat they will be assured of adequate reinforcements to make good tho loss uf those who have sacrificed Uvea or health in tho cause of liberty and that Canada's four divisions will not have to dwindle to three, to two, to one, to nothing. .That is tho supreme Issue of the forthcoming election. That Ik tho basis of tho policy upon which tbe Unionist government, has boon formed. Thfil, as Hon. Arthur Meighen has.stated, is the rock upon which the Unionist government has constructed Its policy. That is the firm foundation upon Which the government will stand or fall. The price to be paid for $60,000,000 par value of Canadian Northern stock is to be limited to $10,000,000, That will be a sad blow to those who have been attempting to make the people believe thnt the government wns paying $60,000,000. Tho actual .tmount will be decided by arbitration and, while it may not exceed the sum which is to be set, it may be much less. It may bo nothing, if the arbitrators so find. Apropos of a Quebec speaker's claim that the Unionist government should include Sir Wilfrid Laurier it may be recalled that Sir Robert Borden did invite Sir Wilfrid, but that the opposition leader finally refused because he would not consent to selective draft. All that resulted from the offer delay, Sir Robert, of course, refusij to recede from his policy of keepir the Canadian troops supplied with r< Inforcements. (By Prof. D. J. Medley.) There is no charge which thu Germans bring against us so commonly as tbat of hypocrisy. We are a hypocritical nation. "Perfidious Albion" has become "hypocritical England." There Is no action of ours which is free from this taint. Our wholo national policy is an organized hypocrisy. Thus, while we progress to have gone to war for the protection of Bolguim and even for the rescue of France from the humiliation which she hnd courted and deserved, we were really aiming at the destruction of Germany. Our motive was not tho protection of smaller nations or the assertion of the sanctity of treaties, but, as the kaiser has recently expressed 11, "envy, envy and, again, envy alone." We prate about the blessings of democracy while we tyrannize over India and Egypt and Ireland, and when Korniloff declared against Kerensky, the entente press, in obedience of course, to our dictation, backed the former in the hope that ho would restore the imperialistic regime in Russia. We talk about the solidarity of the entente, but such Is our need of ponce, owing to the effective action of the U-boat, that if Germany could see its way to satisfy us about Belgium, we would willingly leave both France and RushUi In the lurch. We were righteously indignant over the Luxburg revelations and accuse the Swedlst government of unneutral conduct for transmitting German messages to a neutral country, Argentine, whon nil the world knows that for years the whole of to a world which has already hoard of Machiavelli. "Cynics," says Meredith in tho Egoist, "are only happy in making the world as barren to others as they have made it for themselves." For us there may be soma hope, for nt least we recognize and pay tribute, if only in words, to a higher ideal. Hut God save the world from the deeper and almost ineradicable hypocrisy that takes refuge in the cynical arguments of tho most accredited German writers. Let our civilization perish rather than It should be overlaid and ehoaed by the German view of human nature. | DIPLOMAT* OUT OF WORK | *- <§>- VICIOUS ABUSE "The Canadian Liberal party," Le Soldi says, "now freed from disreputable influences" will begin this and that. Merely because the recognized foremost Liberals of nearly every province in Canada havo decided it to be their duty to Join the win-the-war government on honorable and equal terms, they become "disreputable" to Le Sol- ell. It Is not to be supposed that anything Borden ever did or could ever do would be anything but disreputable to Le Sollcl, nor could meet any treatment save distortion or misrepresentation from that newspaper? The Quebec Telegraph sneers at "the nervous desperation of Borden's "agitation to get in a few westerners." Would not all Borden's war doings be nervousness or desperation, and all who helped htm the J negligible? Le Canada, the chief Llb- | WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ♦) ': The Sub.

All this is of a pe'cc with our acquisitions of German cruelty, whon, it is notorious (though the Germans forget that their own general staff in its official histroygavo the lie direct to the charge) that we treated the Boers in a manner which aroused the indignation of Europe. Now, German statesmen pride themselves on their renlpolitik, that is, they boast that in their foreign policy they face, facts and discard all sentiment in a field which does not admit of its exhibition, namely, international relations. Other' nations, judging no doubt from their own evil dispositions, have attributed all kinds of sinister designs to German policy before the war, whereas all the German cards have been on the diplomatic table for years for other nations to see. Germany proclaims now, as she proclaimed by the mouth of the kaiser at the beginning of the war and for many year.'? previously, that she has no aggressive designs, she merely desires was t0 ensure the place among tbe nations to which her strength and resources entitle her; she will not be dependent on the good will of other powers. Thus England is ber chief enemy, England, jwho for her own selfish ends has de- ! liberately leagued nil other nations against the latest aspirant for international honors and who has always inconsistently opposed the rise of any new state. If other nations aro too blind to see through English hypocrisy, is not among them, lt is oral organ iu Montreal, thinks the now government Is promoted by persons animated by fanaticism against French Canadians. If that is the spirit of the union Liberals in Le Canada's mind, one realizes that the Ontario Conservatives could never be anything but bigoted "orangcists." Some of the old time politicians are illustrating in p. similar way how much decency there was in their assaults on their Conservative opponents. Hon. Frank Oliver for instance, who, prior to union government assailed the fellow Liberal. Gen. Sir Arthur Currie because the general appealed for support for out army, now assails another fellow-Liberal, Hugh Guthrie, as guilty of tho "crime of Judas" for joining a unloi. government. It becomes clear that whatever the Borden government did In connectioi. with tho war was certain to be attacked in a vicious way from the outset by a considerable section of thi Lioeral press and politicians, no matter what the real merits wore,—Ottawa Journal-Press. Tho military autocracy which still holds Germany by the throat, cannot in fact propose terms of peace which the entente allies would be willing to discuss without paving the way for its own abdication. It would have to make public confession that its leadership had failed. It would have to confess responsibility, for a catastrophe whose extent the German mind still refuses to realize. Any peace which the non-German world can consider worth while must involve the destruction of the existing German government. For when the government grows so weak that it must ask for a real peace, involving a renunciation of all its plans for conquest and spoliation, the German people will themselves turn and rend it. It can have no function any longer in a Germany cured of the militaristic mania.—New York Tribune. e $ I THANK GOD FOR BORDEN \ , ,,.■.>,.,......... »4 Halifax 34 Max. 34 48 42 34 18 18 14 22 30 48 f>4 fiO 42 46 48 , 48 believe that because one man is a, Liberal and another Is » Con- knowledge have in earlier days knowledged that the British Empire was one of the greatest Instruments for civilization that tho world possessed. It may be that sometimes we claim a disinterested motive for actions which aro too obviously for our own benefit. But if there Is hypocrisy in this, the claim in itself is a homage to a. high view of national policy. At least we have not poured scorn and contempt on disinterestedness in International dealings. The Pharisee's hypocrisy was deeper than this. He was in love with himself. He had deceived himself into the belief that he had realized the ideal, he thought himself a thoroughly sincere person. And therln lay the typical nature of his hypocrisy; hence it is that to all lime his sect has been damned as the last word ln self-deceit. It Is not of hypocrisy of this type that the Germans accuse us. To them we are conscious hypocrites. We cloak our evil actions with fine sentiments. The fact is that it is they and not we who are the typical hypocrites. Fortunately, they havo not been clover enough to deceive the world, hut they havo succeeded in tho Infinitely moro dangerous process of deceiving themselves. They recito to the world their own virtues and make a parade of their excellent Intentions when all the time their nctH belie their words. The kaiser loads the way, followed by writers and speakers of European fame in talking in dlthyramble strnlns of the mission of German kultur. The world has yet to learn that any civilization can bo recommended by means of con' coaled bombs, poisoned wells and scat' tered germs, If it bo really true, as undoubtedly it is, that the German nation as a whole considers Itself possessed of a civilization superior to that of all other races, it can only be the best of a very bad lot.

Close to 15,000 volunteors have answered tho call in Vlctorla'beforo tho enforcement of the Military Service act. They constituted seven separate battalions and a host of special units and drafts;for the artillery, infantry. engineers, cyclists, signallers and other branches, of the army. Thnt sums up whnt Victoria achieved dur(ng;tht, ont. of voluntary enlistment—three years and one month. Vacant Spot in Vancouvor. ln Vancouver there is now a strange blank at the corner of Hastings and Cambie streets, where the familiar tent home of the recruiting officers was located for many months, More than 15,000 prospective soldiers were handled at this station sinee Us establishment, and altogether 8000 odd soldiers were accepted for overseas service. Practically every branch of the service had its representative there. Men from every walk of life entered Its humble portals and emerged sworn soldiers of the King. Lieut.-Col. George McHpadden, chief recruiting officer in Vancouver, received demobilization orders last Saturday, Before the doors were finally closed the colonel picked ui> from the table and put in his pocket the worn Bible upon which he had sworn -1.100 men for the Uth Irish Fusiliers, not to mention the thousands of other soldiers who, with the book in their hands, vowed allegiance to the Empire. CHINESE BURIED FOR TWENTY YEARS PORTLAND, Ore.—Fivo bundled graves in Lone Fir cometory, Portland, Ore., are being opened and from their depths are being exhumed the remains of as many Chinese buried there during tho last 20 years.

This custom is in reality a religious mandate that no follower of Confucius may attain the Chinese Nlvana unless his bones have been Interred alongside those of his ancestors in Ids native land. So, in order to achieve the beatific state the practise, has been maintained through the centuries. Four white men are engaged ia the work of exhuming tho bodies. Working near tho graves aro a score of Chinese experts busily engaged in the cleaning of the remaining bono.s of tht departed and preparing them for shipment and subsequent preservation after tho second Interment. Tho remains are treated with peculiar concoctions of herbs to insure them against decay and carefully packed in tin cases. From the graves are being removed large sums of money which in cplns was placed In the grave aftd upon the mound when the remains originally were burled. Other relics and mementoes are being unearthed.

"After my first few weeks in the army," lie writes, "1 suddenly found myself deprived of every kind of music except ragtime and popular songs, in all circumstances music is the chief solace of the soldier. It is a. sheer necessity to glvo culm and balance to a.bruin almost entirely occupied witli seeming trivialities, Always Something New The'natural inclination of normal people is to be constantly on the lookout for "Something New"—the scientist and explorer for new developments and unknown lands, the pleasure seeker for new amusements, the child for new toys.

THE STORE FOR STYLE THE STORE FOR QUALITY "But even us after a time, the recruit's stomach ceases to rise at Mils greasy stew and leaden dumplings, so his musical appetite ceases to he revolted hy tile eternal ragtime and parodies on church hymns, end now I um able lo find actual satisfaction in them." This change of attitude hus caused Iho soldier to ask Himself liow much of the preference of say a Beethoven composition is due to the difference of temperament whloh causes one person to like apples and another pears, or ono to tako to studious habits and another to athletic sports. The perfection of music itself lias touched moments when it has given lhe hearer u rapture which he can neither explain nor trace. That seems to be the ideal of musical art. but this soldier owns up lhat he has had few such experiences. Ho therefore has reached the conclusion that the differences between tunes of tho music hall, drawing room, church, symphony concert, etc., ure not so much differences of musical quality as of human temperament and character. Whether or not this opinion is justified it shows a broadness of musical vision. It certainly introduces individual liberty Into the world of music: lor if a lover of our lighter music is not justified In throwing pebbles ut what he calls a dull classical number on the organ, should the more highly cultivated musicians grow sarcastic in the mention of the popular tunes thel musses are singing'.'

Wednesday and Thursday the Gem theatre will present America's most popular star of the screen, "Doug" Fairbanks, in his initial Artcraft picture, produced by his own company, "In Again—Out Again." A typical Fairbanks picture, "In Again—Out Again," presents the smiling "Doug" at his best in a subject of rapid-fire theme and hundreds of hearty laughs. Never before has the athletic one bad a better opportunity lo give his admirers so much of his inimitable self and the various surprises aro in store for bis many friends who wUlvlslt the Gem theatre. Because of tho various twists of tho story, disclosing many surprises, tho details of the plot must needs be kept secret in order to get the greatest benefit out of the picture, but suffice it to say that tho FairbariUs-Emorcon- Loos combination has loft no stone unturned in Us effort to break all previous records. Staged in New Jersey, tho subject offers a mixture of rural scenes the humor of which are accented by the smiling "Doug" in tho characterization of his role, that of Teddy, a red-blooded young man, who, It would seem, would rather remain In jail than out ot" it. KERENSKY IS DESCRIBED BY ONE WHO KNOWS HIM ... him, like a first love, _ The Russian poet will not forget. The scene is in Petrograd on a piercingly cold day In March some three weeks after the revolution. My sleigh draws up before the ministry of.justice, and in a minute I am passed up the official staircase, where so short a timo beforo reigned all the rigid ceremonial! of the ancient regime, into an antechamber filled with a crowd of soldierst sailors, Uegal functionaries, students, school girls, workmen, and peasants, all waiting patiently like one of the fbreadj queues in the Litelnaya or the Nevsky. 1 push my way through the throng to a tired and much-harassed secretary, "You wish to see M, Kerensky? Quite impossible today. You must come tomorrow." I explain lhat I am invited to luncheon. "M. KerenBky hns gone to the duma to the workmen's council. 1 have no idea when he will be back. In these days, you know—" Ho shrugged his shoulders. Then almost before 1 had time to allow the disappointment to show Itself on my face the crowd behind me sud-, denly surged forward. "Stand back!" Two rather nervous and very young adjutants in uniform. Half a dozen quick, energetic strides, and M. Kerensky Is beside me. His face has an almost deathly pallor, his eyes are tired with an expression of infinite suffering, but the mouth is as firm as a rock, and the hair, cropped close und worn en browse, gives somo outward idea ot" that wonderful energy which is the peculiar gilt of the hero of tho Russian revolution. And his energy is indeed of the miraculous. I am told to wait white, ono by one, the crowd of petitioners is received, counselled, refused, rewarded, and sent, on its way with a speed that comes only to the man who has to see as many people in a day as there are minutes. A Luncheon Parly. At luncheon, tho most simple of meals, besides about thirty Russians of all sorts und conditions there are also present tho threo French Socialists, Monte, Lafont and Cachan. In spite of the government prohibition there Is wino on the table, but tho host himself is on a strict dlot and touches nothing stronger than milk. His talk is of the most brilliant description. All the enthusiasm of youth is there. And indeed ho hardly looks his 3l> years. On his right hand there is a groat, brawny-armed sailor' from the sailors' committee of the Baltic fleet, and every tinio M. Kerensky refers to his favorite theme of "believe in the common sense of tho Russian people" he points to the sailor as if to illustrate his argument. He turns to me with a smile: "How would Lloyd George like it If a Russian were to como to him to tell him how to manage tho English people. Believe me, we may not know, much, but we do know our own -people." His onthus- lasm Is infectious, his pride in the revolution unbounded.'! "Wc are only doing what you havo done centuries ago, only wo aro trying to do It better— with the Napoleon and the Cromwell." Today tiie ydung lawyer has changed the working-man's jacket ho affected during thoso early days for the uniform. His' ideas, too, have changed with the- force of circumstances. 'His faith in tho common sense of the Russian people lias been severely shaken, and the man who abolished capital punishment hns boon forced to restore it, But his ideals remain the same. They havo been modified, not abandoned. "A Mad Idealist." "People call mo a mad idealist, but thank God for the idealists in this world." Por, in spite of all hts energy, Alexander Feodorovituh is essentially an idealist. From the day he left the University of Petrograd to enter upon ids legar career ho has never once put his material prospects before his political beliefs. Ho might have made a largo fortune as a lawyer. Instead, he preferred to spend his ttmo in defending the oppresses" and unjustly accused prisoners ln tho famous political trials which stained tho tecords of tha Russian tribunals under the old regime. His gospel Is the gospel of suffering, and in all his short and active life he has never spared himself. "Nothing is worth living for which is not worth dying for." "Grent deaths beget great chil dren." "Great privileges also demand great duties." And then the passionate rebuke: "And you, comrades; "Who have suffered for 10 years *n silent*. who havd carried out all the commands of the hated old regime, who have shot down your own people when the government demanded, now, when you have wbn your liberty'—now, you cannot hold out a little longer. Is then, the free state of Russia nothing but a band of revolted slaves?" A Symbol of Russia's Agony These are some of the fragments taken nt random from his great speeches before the Russian offensive, It Is his own gospel, and combined with his wonderful powers of oratory, It,is the chief secret of his success. For when ho speaks ln that raucous voice of his, worn hoarse by incessant shouting to recalcitrant soldiers and suspicious workmen, the effect is greater than the silvery tones of the most polished professional orator, 1 have heard practically all the great Russian orators of today, but not even M. Maklakoff, the great cadet barrister, can sway his audience as M. Kerensky dominates his, The effect is magical even on a foreigner, but on a ■Russian at this hour of crisis, It is all compelling. That harsh whisper, the pale white color of that sdnken face, the long pauses to gather fresh strength for the sharp, incisive phrases that sting almost like a lash, the swaying body that twists and gasps for breath and fiually falls limp and exhausted to the ground. . Is it not ^yinholicnl of /that ■supremo agony through which Russia herself Is passing? "I have come to make my supreme appeal because I am at the end of my strength." And the enormous crowd in tho opera house in Moscow in June knows that it-Is true, feels that it is Russia herself who is talking to them. One man whispers to another: "He has only ono kidney," and admiration swells for this man who Is faced with the Herculean task of carrying through a revolution and a world-wur at the same time, and who in a country where energy is conspicuously lacking can. in spite of a shattered health, work 19 hours in the 24." No Sympathy With Germans An ardent patriot, M. Kerensky has no sympathy with Germany or with German methods of government. The Germans have soon recognized in him an Implacable foe by trying to frighten the Russian public with the spectre of Napoleon. English and French ideals he has always admired, but, as he has not traveled and speaks only a little French, his knowledge of these two countries is gained entirety from reading. Ho has, however, under circumstances of great difficulty, been a staunch supporter of tho entente, and has done moro than any living man to Instil into the minds of tho Russian people the necessity of continuing thu war. His enemios are numerous and he is in danger of assassination both from the extremists of tho Right and the extremists of the Left. But not even his fiercest denunciation can deny his personal courage. In. the thousand, and ono. problems which he has to setllo dully—for in spite, I think, of M. Kerensky himself, the revolution .and fear of counter-rovolutlon come first and the war. second in all political consideration in Russia today—he has shown a firmness of grasp which makes tho doubt whothor Russia has any man more capable of carrying her through the grim crisiB. At the present moment M. Kerensky is dealing with the greatest crisis in his career, oh the issuo of which will depend, to a, largo oxtent, his future place in history. In his conflict with Korniloff ho has been blamed by many for not accepting more quickly tho general proposals for the restoration of discipline. It Is a most unfortunate situation, fraught with tho gravest consequences. At the present moment, ono can only say, with Tho Times, that both men are patriots whose anxiety to savo their country In their first thought. They differ only in the question of ways and means. And m this lies the tragedy of fho Wholo situation. T. H. B„ in the London Daily Mail. GOLFER'S POSITION . v in modern Armies There are many novelties about camp life, and it takes one some time to become reconciled to the change of conditions; but there is one thing certain and it is this: This new order of things holds out less hardships for the golfer than for men not accustomed to outdoor life in any way, says Francis Quimct, who is now a soldier in tho United Slates army. The man has beon used to Indoors welcomes a change, but he must make up his mind to adapt himself to the new conditions, A man who has known a life on the links falls into tho general idea of military training much more quickly. There are many golfers in the various camps, and the one where I am located is no exception. A good many have asked me whether I am going to give up the game now thatl I am in tbe army. This is something they could answer almost as readily as I can, In tiie first place, I am now working for Uncle Sam, and ho must bo considered first In everything. If the chance to play golf comes to me I wilt naturally take it, as once a golfer, always n golfer, and it would be a pleasant recreation for me to hundlo, the clubs occasionally, . There Is .another tiling to consider and that is that the golf season Is waning and it will not bo long before it will be too cold to play with comfort. If I didn't see my clubs again until next spring, I would not be sorry, as I have played con siderablc golf during the past, two months and one can become tired, even of golf. Layoff Beneficial It does everyone good to drop golf for a while. Most of the crack players prefer to forget the game lor the greater part of the winter, and they usually go back to their favorite past- time in the spring with renewed enthusiasm. The result is that they are able to play more consistently through the summer months than if thoy were surfeited with golf all winter lung. For a golfer who is badly off of his game, my best advice is to drop it for a while and when he picks it up again tho chances nre lie will forget tbe troubles he had when he was playing badly. He will come back to his old stride much more speedily than if he worried nit winter long playing over rough courses in the snow and Ice. The golfer adopt* himself to march ing much more readily than the rook ies who have never played tbe game. Someone started tho story that I likely would be rejected on account of flat feet. Traveling over 3(1 holes a day, where one must cover about 10 miles 1 -, - , of actual ground, would disprdve this theory and I would hate to offer it as an excuse, -, This reminds me of the story of the young man who was rejected for this same reason. He appeared at one of too recruiting stations a perfect specimen of manhood, six feet and weighing 195 pounds. "We know you have all the re- I, W. W.

ANCIENT GAME IS REVIVED IN LONDON Recently, for thi-. first time in many generations, the ancient garni: of stool- hnll was played in London. In tho presence of a fair crowd of onlookers nn exhibition match took place at Lord's cricket ground between a team of officers anil men from the second London general hospital and a team of "yo ancient lawyers." The scores wore: Second London general hospital, 65; Ye Ancient Lawyers, 77. Commenting on the match Iho London Times says: It is in keeping with the curious reversion to the catapult, the mortar; the body armor in the trenches that there should be a revival among the wounded and convalescent of one of the most rudimentary forms of cricket. As early as 1611, Chapman, in his translation of the sixth book of the Odyssey, makes Nnusieau and her girls play Mtoolbnll. The queen now, for the upstroke, struck the ball Quite wide of th' other maids, and made it fall Amidst the whirlpools, thereby, doubtless, says Laug, scoring a lost ball. As usually played, he explains, a square board on a pole serves in placo of the original stoot ns a wicket much as if one bowled at tho telegraph instead of the stumps, Consequently, as at; baseball, only full pitches can be tossed. However, he adds, In stoolball we recognize the unconscious beginnings of better things. Major CJranthum, who organised the match in aid of a fund for providing stoolball outfits for all military am. naval hospitals, is an enthusiastic believer in the game as a form of exercise, stimulating enough without being too violent, for men who have been shattered In or dy and nerve. The rules are very similar to those which govern cricket. The bat may not be morp than 7% inches wide. The bnll generally used is of solid' rubber. The wicket Is a board one foot square, mounted on a stake, tho top of the hoard being four feet, eight inches above the ground. Tne wickets nre pitched 16 yards apart, and the bowling crease Is 10 yards from onch wicket and not more than one yard long. Underhand bowling only is allowed. Thore are 10 balls to the over and stumping is not recognized. |-4] HttHlMSa I »•"•.■•■>• -t- S> YES! MAGICALLY!

U ff MME LEAF IDEA Last Year Gift Senders Say Soldier Boys Appreciated Canadian Emblem Enclosures. A novel idea which met with favor by (hose who sent Christmas boxes last, year to the soldier boys in th' trenches might again be drawn io the a (lent ion of gift senders, remarked Secretary A. B. Godfrey ot the Y. M. C. A. The suggestion is for the en closure oi wax coated maple leaves ia the Christmas hamper. An abundance of Canada's national emblem is to be found in the Kootenay district and by a happy thought someone who has "Soulier hoy" hi thn trenches last year thought of the plan of enclosing In tin Christmas cheer box a few of the beautifully tinted leaves strewn about thi1 .a wus and streets. The preservation of the leaves during the long trip to Flanders was thought out by a simple and Ingenious method. The most brilliantly t In ted and largest leaves wero gathered together, Common paraflne wax was obtained and melted in a pan on tne stove. Then the leaves wore dipped, ono at a time, into the hot liquid und allowed to cool. They were then ready io be placed on the top of the hamper where the natural tint of the emblem of Canada, would first greet "his" gazewhen he opcnpil the remembrance from the land of the .Maple Loaf. The plan worked splendidly and many of those In Nelson and district last year received letters fro lite boys at the front remarking on the touch of pride they had felt on opening their "goodie" box and finding on tup tne emolem of Canada, their native land.

Canada's new Victory war loan got off to a good start locally yesterday afternoon at the city hall council chambers, when nn organization meeting, held with the assistance of Provincial Organizer C. H. Macaulay, resulted in the appointment of a committee of 10 to handle the sole of the new issue In the Nelson district for the first three weeks after it is placed on the market, which will be about Nov. 22. Mayor J. B. Annable was appointed r-halrman of the committee. H. E. Dill was chosen to act as publicity officer. Other members of the committee wero appointed as follows: J. A. Irving, T. L, Bloomer, Chief Guthrie, Alex Leith, "?. F. McHardy, W. J. Meagher, Judge J. A. Forin and one to be chosen from "he members of the local trades and labor council. The committee will have power to add to its numbers. Appeal to People. On introduction by the mayor, Mr. Macaulay briefly outlined tho need c ivery assistance being given the new Issue about to be placed on sale. The ippeal, he said, was being made more directly to the people of Canada than to the.tolg financial interests. To a large extent the whole matter of placing the bonds on the market waa being done by tho voluntary assistance of business men and citizens. The finance minister bad surrounded himself with a committee to assist In the choosing of provincial committees who In turn were sending out organizers through their respective provinces. The organizers wore paid only their out-of-pocket money, the speaker said. .The! time was given voluntarily and in this province they were for the most part 'business men in Vancouver. In this way the spirit of the whole matter was one of service toward the end of getting money so that Canada can help to win the war. Actual Expenses Allowed. The local committee, he continued, would be allowed actual expenses by the provincial organization. This amount, however, "did not include advertising, as lhat was being dono by the committee in Ottawa. Expenses would be allowed for 'he rental of quarters in the city during the campaign. The organizer intimated, nevertheless, that if these quarters were obtained without charge it would be so much better. An amount would also be allowed for the services of a stenographer if this were thought necessary In the eyes of the committee. Solicitors could be promised a commission of one-half of 1 per cent If the committee so desired. In this case it would be imperative for the chairman to notify the provincial committee and the Vancouver executive would first supply the local with a card to give the canvasser authorizing him to solicit subscriptions. Mr. Macaulay explained that it would be impossible for him to visit all of the neighboring district places and he would be inclined to suggest that the Nolson committee assist in organizing In near districts not conflicting with Kaslo and New Denver. In this case the actual out-of-pocket expenses of the local committee would be paid by tho Vancouver office. Now Negotiating Details. There were details, some of which were very important, he said, which had not yet been decided upon. These would all be made clear before the bonds were placed on the market during the week of Nov. 22. The most Important detail which meant a convincing argument towards the purchase of the loan was the matter of the banks allowing advances on the bonds at' the same or near same interest as the bonds were drawing. This most important detail was now being taken up with tiie banks of tho country and would be definitely announced prior to Nov. 22. The local committee will commence work Immediately and steps will be taken to make a record for the Nolson district, It was stated by one of tho members of the committee yesterday afternoon. In speaking of the organization In the city, Mr. Macaulay at the Hume i4aid: "I am very much gratified with the spirit shown at the meeting this afternoon and I havo no doubt that Nelson district will do its share in connection with this big is- 10 NAME DELEGATES City of Nelson Notice Declarations as Householders and License Holders must bo filed with the City Clerk during the month of Ootober, but no declarations can be received after 5 o'clock p.m. of Octobor 31st.
