PER MONTH FAR RESOLUTION MAY BE PASSED BY CONGRESS TODAY Sentiment in Favor of ' Almost Unanimous it fiLVIiLTIE WES DELAY OF 24 /Plans for Aggressive Hostilities Are Being Bushed (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, April 3.—An Exchange Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam says it is reported there from Berlin that the German government contemplates sending to all neutrals a protest against the expected American declaration that a state of war with Germany exists. It is hoped in Germany, the despatch adds, that the pro- teat will influence South American republics as it will denounce President Wilson's policy as perilous to the neutrality of the republics of Central and South America. Will Not Change Attitude BERLIN, April 3.—The press report of President Wilson's "state of war" message reached Berlin at 10 o'clock this morning. It is declared here there would be no change in the German attitude even if congress adopted President Wilson's views. Germany will not declare war nor take any steps to wage war against the United ; States. The submarine war will be continued as it has been conducted since Feb. 1, but this, declare the officials, is not directed more against the United States than any other neutral. It is also declared that there will be no change in the treatment of American citizens in Gctmajiy. who now have the same freedom as all other neutrals. But Germany expects that the United States will continue the same treatment of Germans in that country. WASHINGTON, April 8—War plans, military, economic and financial, for aggressive hostilities against Germany, were rushed forward today by administrative branches of Ihe government and only await action by congress on a, war resolution to be put Into execution. Knactment of the resolution not later than Thursday wus confidently fore casted at tho capltol, after a delay of 'M hours had been caused In the senate by Senator La toilette's objection to Its immediate consideration. Debate will begin in both houses tomorrow, with action before adjournment probable. Sentiment in favor of the resolution is almost unanimous und the only question is how much time tilia.ll be devoted to speech making. President Wilson and his cabinet went over the war plans at a two-hour session, and previously the national defense council, with Its civilian advisory commission and several subsidiary organizations, developed policies and details of momentous consequence to the nation. Meanwhile, the war and navy departments are going ahead with the most immediate preparations for defense. Already tho navy has taken steps to insure cooperation between the American fleet and those of the entente allies, to become effective upon the formal entry of the United States Into the conflict. Plans Outlined. Enlistment by selective conscription of young men for a national army, in addition to the regular establishment and national guard, In increments of C00.000, enough to be trained to make certain tho defeat of Germany. Organization of the nation's commercial interests for economical and effective distribution of commodities among the civilian population. Rapid provision of adequate means of combatting the submarine menace. The raising of a very large sum of money, as much as possible to bo obtained by taxation, and tho definite amount of the first budget not to be fixed until tho exact needs of the army and navy and of the entente allies are ascertained. Purchase of supplies and equipment of all kinds for the army under a provision of laws wjilch allows the secretary of war to fix a "reasonable'' price. Division of the young men of tho country into service clusses, those needed more tn industries than In the army and navy to receive Insignia showing they are performing duty equivalent to fighting. Most of these plans will require the authorization of, congress, but from opinions expressed at the capital It Is bollovod once the war resolution is adopted further legislation to empower the executive branch to go full speed ahead will follow quickly. Nation Will Follow President. There is every indication that the nation, through Its representatives; will follow out President Wilson's words to congress and "exert all Its power and employ, all Ita resources to hrlng the government of tho German empire to terms and end Ihe war."

S. CITIZENS RUSH 10 JOIN IHE COLORS Keen Excitement Prevails at Winni peg—Many Enlist in Canadian Battalions. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, April 3.—The United States' entry into the war resulted today In a rush of United States citizens to the office of the American consul general offering to enlist. There was a fervor of keen excitement on the part of the young men who expressed their immediate desire to get into uniform. -A number, realizing that It was of little import what flag they were fighting under, enlisted in Canadian battalions, and many more are expect' ed to follow their example when a declaration of war by the States has actually been made. "With the material resources that the United States has, she will simply throw money to the allies for their use in the prosecution of the war," said Frederick Ryder, American consul general at Winnipeg, when Interviewed today. "Money is perhaps more needed by the allies today than men." he said, "but I believe that if the men from the United States' are needed to van nuishj the Germans, they will be furnished in abundance." Legal Officers of Administration Direct Attention to Law on the Statute Books. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, April 3.—While President Wilson has indicated the benevolent policy the government will pursue toward the Germans in this country, legal officers of the administration today directed attention to u law already on the statute books under which, as soon as congress declares war existing, every unnaturalized male ttermun 14 years «Wd or over may, b$* presidential proclamation, bo confined or removed as alien enemies. Under tho old Prussian-American treaty of 1828 German citizens hen- would to an extent be exempt from the provisions of this law. The United States has, however, refused to accede to a proposal of the Berlin government that the treaty be reaffirmed, with changes and additions, and it is understood the document will be declared abrogated if the action of Germany makes such a step necessary. Tho state department official revealed today'that Germany recently replied to the American note refusing to accept her proposal regarding the treaty because of her 'disregard of tho canons of international courtesy'1 and her "clear violations" of tho treaty itself. While no details were given out, it is understood that Germany denied that she had violated the treaty and evinced a desire to abide by It. The American government in its note said it was seriously considering whether the treaty had not been in effect abrogated by tho German government's "flagrant violation of Its provisions."

No news of the past year has so stirred the country save only the Russian revolution. There have been no street demonstrations or exhibitions of excitement, such as the first weeks of the war In London, because the war has long passed the stage of excitement and is regarded here, as In America, as a heavy and solemnly borne duty. The substance and tone of the president's message was an electrifying surprise. The directness of his Indictment of the German methods and his whole-hearted statement of America's duty to maintain her rights and of her duty to civilization was more than the public here expected. Dispatches from tho United States In tho lust month had reported tho president as reluctant, to enter the war and that recommendations to congress would be limited to defensive measures for the protection (Continued on Page Two,), i HOUSE UKELYTO RISE ON THURSDAY Easter Recess May Extend to Wednesday BOWSER GIVES VIEWS ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE Changes he Urges in Bill Will be ^fade by the Attorney General (By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, April 3.—It is likely the government will adjourn the legislature for the Easter holidays from Thursday night to Wed nesday afternoon. Premier Brewster told The Daily News tonight that some of the interior members wanted to go home for the holidays, but he had not yet sounded the house on the question. It Is believed the government would welcome the extra time, as after more than one month of session, only ono act of three short sections had been passed, the measures as brought down requiring so many changes. Today H. C. Hall, Victoria, spoke for five minutes on the civil service bill, saying that Opposition Leader Bowser's speech was an intimation to the present civil servants to get out and work for the Conservatives as he was behind them. F. W. Anderson of Kamloops spoke on the irrigation bill, giving approval of the measure and the Hon. John Oliver's "Dolly Varden" railway special charter was the subject of another mlxup in committee, without getting the bill much farther ahead. Thut provision should be made lm mediately to enable women to be created commissioners for taking affidavits for election purposes so that they will be properly equipped to carry on the work of registration of women was suggested hc-jW. J. Bowser, leader of the opposition, In the legislature today. M, A. Macdonald, attorney-gen ernl, replied he would make the change suggested. Attorney-General Macdonald also stated that he would make another change suggested by the opposition leader. This is that tho first registration of new voters should bo open un- ttlythe second Monday In May, instead of the fifth Monday In April, as provided for In the act as it now stands. This will give women additional timo to get on the list. Giving his hearty approval to the bill which makes effective the result of the woman suffrage referendum put by the late government, Mr. Bowser said there was one section he did not understand. It provided that "corporate bodies" should bo included among the eligible to vote. "Surely this does not mean that the government proposes to-give the vote to corporate bodies. There Is somo provision in the M unlclpnl act under which corporations may vote on money bylaws, but surely this moral reform institution that I see facing me is not going to give a vote to corporations. If It did, that would mean that perhaps 150 Chinese corporations In Victoria would be able to come up and vote for my honorable friend Premier Brewster."

The British, already within a stone's throw of the western outskirts of St. Quentin, seemingly arc resting there, while to the northwest they are carrying out a movement having as Its object the flanking of St. Quentin from the north.

ENTERING WAR WILL AFFECT DOMINION Outstanding Consideration la Whether It Will Subscribe to Allies' Agreement on Peace, (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, April 3.—Discussing tho official situation arising out of tho almost certain entry of the United States Into the war, the Evening Journal says: "Although It seems assured that tho United States is about to enter the war she has not yel definitely done so, and official Ottawa, of course; cannot bo induced today to utter a word of comment upon the situation as it prevents Itself to the authorities. But the outstanding viewpoint may be said to bo that the forthcoming entry of the United Stutes into the war will mean the bringing of It to fl speedier conclusion. "There are several important phases which Will undoubtedly Involve readjustment ot conditions, but just how far u readjustment enn take place de- ponds absolutely upon the status of the United States as n belligerent. "The outstanding consideration is whether the United States will take part In tho conflict as ono of the allied countries and subscribe to their agreement, which is, In the main, that there will be no separate peace concluded by America, and that she will undertake to carry on hostilities to that conclusion which the council of the allies determines upon. All other arrangements, including those which especially affect Canada on account of tho geographical position are dependent upon this question. "There is the matter of restriction of importations of tho present allied countries. For Instance, Halifax Is the port of examination for vessels proceeding to Europe, and it may be presumed that New York will also bo made an examining port. This will fa- eilltnte tho transport of freight. Can Be of Immense Assistance. "In this regard the United States can he of immense assistance to the allies.

CALGARY, April 3.—With mora than 1300 miners out on strike pending HrtUlemei.tijOf wcjklng agreements for the coming year''uetwocn miners and operators, prospects tonight were not reassuring for an early adjustment of the differences between tho Alberta coal barons and their employees. Following the expiration of tho old ngreement, Saturday walkouts occurred at Michel, Hillcrest, Bellcvuc. Chinook and Drum holler. While the mines are idle the movo has not taken on tho proportions of a general strike. The miners havo simply declared a holiday. Tho effect of the suspension of work Is manifest in the conference here, tho fear being expressed that the situation has shifted from the hands of tho delegate miners hero for a conference with the operators. That there is dissatisfaction In other camps is reported by Incoming delegates. At Drumheller, with 400 men out, there is likelihood that a struggle will ensue that will leave the mines idle until the close of summer. In other camps there Is also a spirit of unrest and a spark may cause the whole Industry to bo tied up at short notice. The effect of a general strike at this time, when an Increased Industrial demand and transportation troubles have already created a shortage, Is hard to estimate. A despatch from Ottawa says that the government Is deeply Interested in the outcome of the conferonce hero owing to the fact that the Nova Scotia operators are cutting down orders. These mines, which usually ship ^,000,000 tons to tho St. Lawrence district, havo notified purchasers that their output will limit the St. Lawrence district this year to 250,000 tons.

DARWALL DEAD; WAS ; FORMERLY IN CANADIAN ARMY (By Canadian Associated Press.) LONDON, April 3.—Capt, Gordon Cecil Darwnll has dlod of heart disease. He retired from tho Canadian permanent force shortly before the war ami joined the imperial army In IflH BRITAIN ELECTRIFIED (Continued from Page One.) of American commerce would have fulfilled the general expectation. That the Russian revolution did much to. pave, tho way lor American cooperation with, Germany's opponents and mndo President Wilson's policy possibleJh one,of tho first features of the situation which' the newspapers seize upon. ' Liberal papers, liko the Dully Chronicle, contend that the German people havo supported with apparent enthusiasm such proceedings ns have been going oir in Belgium and have, demanded its annexation. That the' British press regards the entry of.America as one of the most momentous events of the war Is shown in tho importance "attached to President Wilson's address. Preis Comment. The Dally Chronicle, giving its editorial on this subject with tho caption ^America at War; Wilson's Magnificent Appeal," says: "It Is Impossible to read President Wilson's speech without being struck by its statesmanlike breadth and elevation of tone. His long patience and caution, his determination to advance no faster than the mass of opinion in his country, only render more impressive his final crossing of the Rubicon. Tbe moral effect of such a speech, mndo with a nation of 90,000,000 people behind it, must be great throughout the world. "It is a strange, impressive phenomena—the tardy but weighty intervention of the United States in the death struggle of Europe." The Express says: "The president's speech will always be regarded as one of tho great historic documents of the great war. Tho lofty dignity of his language adds to the impressivencss of the enunciation of international idealism. "America is entering the war for the one specific purpose of destroying Potsdam. If the president's speech means anything, It means that America, will never treat with the kaiser and will resolutely oppose any peace which leaves the Hohcnzollcrns on the German throne." The Dnily Mail says: "President Wilson's speech will stand beside Lin* coin's greatest speeches for Its gravity ind pathos. That Is in effect an appeal to the American people to taka up the task for which Lincoln laid down his life, for tho Issue is today as It was in 1861 and 1864, freedom, although it would lie a sovereign Injustice to compare the south, whose soldiers fought like gentlemen, with the kaiser's inyrmidions. Warning That Pirates Shalt Hang. "The president's speech is a plain warning, that pirates shall hereafter bang in the execution dock under condemnation of the whole world." The Mull argue* that the destruction of Prussian militarism requires that Ihe German people themselves must he set free, adding: "Though to tell the truth, tbe show no desire nor aptitude for freedom, and therefore tho despots who inoculated the German people with the passion for slaughter nnd cruelty must be removed." Tbe Mull credits the American people with complete disinterestedness in the course they are about to adopt and hails as one of the most glorious events of history the coining of America into line witli other free peoples. The Times views President Wilson's action as "an event which is certain to Influence the destinies of mankind on both sides of the Atlantic for a generation to come, and adds: "None greater, except the war Itself, has happened since the French revolution shattered the traditions of feudalism In Europe. Tho cause in' which America draws the sword and the grounds on which the president justifies the momentous step he has taken are auguries that the final outcome will be for the happiness And welfare or mankind. We doubt If In all history a great community has ever been summoned to war on grounds so largely ideal." With regard to the assumption that the- German people are innocent, tho dupes and victims of a responsible government, the Times says: "That view. Mice his attitude toward Austria, is probably politic, but it makes it necessary to Ignore a mass of awkward evidence." The Post in an editorial suys: "The president and the American people serve tbe world's highest interests by proving that there is such a thing as solidarity of civilization." It compares his address in dignity and force with the most historic declarations ,of Lincoln and says that America may be assured "that never were friends In need more heartily welcomed," The Post singles out the president's point thai the continued existence of a German military, autocracy is totally Incompatible with future peace. WNR SPEECH STRONGLYIENDORSfD LONDON, April 3.—President Wilson's speech has made a tremendous Impression in admiralty circles, par ticularly that portion referring to the Impossibility of continuing armed neu trail!y, when the Germans threaten to shoot armed guards In case of cap ture. While, not desiring to give an off! clal expression regarding tho potlcy of the admiralty respecting tho arming of merchant ships, a nnvnl official of high rank expressed the general feeling of the British navy on that subject to the AsHoclnted Press in the following state, merit! "Tho'presidont In his speech referred to the fact that armed neutrality was rendered impossible owing to tho fact that the Gorman authorities had threatened to shoot as pirates the armed guards on American armtfd merchant ships, an act that would at once drive the. United States into war in defense of these seaihen, who In tho meantime would be carrying out thoir duties under a grave, disadvantage. The case of Captain Fryntt has neither boen forgotton nor forgiven and the murder 6f this officer, after defending his ship by nIf means In his power against molestation or possible capture by the enemy has heen repudiated by nil neutral powers." HOUSE LIKELY 10 (Continued from Page Ono.) and tho Liberals hud taken to themselves full credit for not being in favor of woman suffrage. It was a fact that woman suffrage had not been a plank in the Conservative platform and most of tho Conservatives In the house had voted against it when the suffrage bill had been introduced. He himself had voted against it be- causo he and other Conservntlves had not then believed that ttho time was ripe. But their views 'had changed, particularly becauso of the noblo part that women had played in tlio war. When the Conservative administration had at the last session Introduced the woman suffrage referendum, it bad realized that a change had come over tho peoplo of the province, including members on the government side of the house, and it had been felt that the result was a foregone conclusion. He considered that tho vote of tho referendum waa a well deserved compliment to the women and the manner fn which the women speakers had handled the subject would have dono credit to any public man. "Our course was consistent; we felt that the time was ripe for an extension of the suffrage and that the proper course wns to place tho Issue before the peoplo for their decision." He noticed also that the Liberal press took credit to its party for tho fact that the bill as introduced gave the women tbe same right as the men to sit in the house. He thought the government shouRl have been fair enough to say that exactly tho same provision was in the Bowser woman suffrage referendum act Attorney-General Macdonald, he continued, had tried to introduce into the debate a little of federal politics. The attorney-general had said that the federal government should amend its franchise act so that women in the provinces whore they had been given the provincial franchiso should also have the vote in the Dominion elections, "I entirely agree with that proposal, but I would go further," said Mr. Bowser. "I believe that the Borden government would be in line wl*h modern thought not only if it gave the Dominion franchise to women of .this and other provinces where they have the provincial vote, but If it provided for Dominion-wide woman suffrage." Want Wartime Federal Election Speaking of a visit to British Columbia of federal Liberal leaders, Mr. Bowser said: "There isno doubt but that word was passed to the faithful that there would be a wartime election, nnd that Liberals Th the federal house would refuse to consent to an extension of the term of parliament;!' Capt. Hayward, soldier member from Cowlchan, stated he had always opposed the extension of the franchise to women because he always believed women did not want it. He could not. understand why Attorney-General Macdonald had attempted to make political capital out of the bill, as ho did not believe the women cared twopence for Liberal or Conservative. Making It clear that he had changed his opinion on the woman suffrage question und that he proposed to vote for tho bill now before the house, Capt, Hayward proceeded to place before the legislature an account of the great work .which the women of the Red Cross 7md other patriotic organizations were doing at the front, when Speaker Weai't cut him off by ruling that he was out of order.

The ways and means committee members feel that the present feneration will receive the greatest benefit from the war and should pay the greater share of the expense. They recognize, however, that coming' generations will, profit by world peace. and p-opose .to fasten some of the burden on eltiaons of the future. Kepuhllcnn Leader Mann believes very (tie money comparatively can' be raised by taxation. Democrats of the ways nnd means committee urn firm In the belief that unexpected resources can be turned up through new taxes. ' Although no definite pinna have been laid, It is known that the excess profits tax will be greatly raised.

"The'Tommles believe, you know that all Germans are waiters In time of peace. Yes, it makes the Germans angry, hut they don't seem to be able to come back strong. All they answer Is 'Tommie!' to an English battalion or 'Jock' to a Scotch battalion. The Germans don't go in much for humor. Neither do the Scotch." The subject of trench newspapers came up. "Yes, there have been a few," Captain Beith agreed, 'but they arc not as frequent as you might suppose. The principal reason is the scarcity of paper. Then, too, as soon as you get a paper started and >iave a good editor to manage it he gets "done in' or transferred to another front and you have to begin all over again. An editor does not last long at tho front. In a few months If an officer hasn't been killed, wounded or captured, he has. been transferred elsewhere, as I have said. There was a case, I remember, of one of the older divisions, which held Ypres—the Tommies call it 'Wipers,' you know, and now everybody, high or low, does the same—early in the war and established a rattling good paper; they called it the Wipers Times. But after a time they were transferred to Neuve Eglise and they changed the name to the New Church Times. Last I heard of them they were on the Somme and the paper bad become the Somme Times. \ shouldn't care to speculate on how often the editorial staff had been renewed, "A paper the Tommies are very fond of is one called Blighty, which is published In London specially for them. It consists of authorized excerpts from current humorous publications and it is circulated at all regimental headquarters. The Canadians hove a good sheet. I have seen several copies, and now and then a short lived paper springs up elsewhere. But trench papers arc much more numerous among the French than with us. The French have so much better facilities for getting them printed." "That word 'Blighty,' you have just used is one of the favorite phrases in tho new soldier argot, isn't It?" was suggested. "Yee, but I should hardly say it originated in France," replied Captain Belth. They say it comes from a Hindustani word, 'bhllati,' which means England, and which our troops picked up in India and brought to France with them. You know the slang of the old army consisted mostly of words and phrases gathered in India where about half the troops were stationed all the time. But there is no doubt that 'Blighty' has come to have a wide cir culation, much larger with--- civilians back home than at the front even, ft stands for any number of things. For instance, a 'bllghty wound,' now Is a severe wound that involves being sent home to recover, and in the same way a 'couchy wound,1 means a comfortable wound, one that means a short layoff in hospital, with good living and no work and no inconvenience to speak of. Couchy is one of the words the Tdm- mies have coined in France. The only derivation of it that I can imagine ia from the French word 'coucher/ u STERLING EXCHANGE. (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

TORONTO, April 3.—Toronto stocks recovered from their lethargy today under the influence of Washington de velopmontB, and with the help of an early upward movement of Wall street stocks, and although business shaded off materially during the afternoon, after the first burst of buying had spent its force, stocks closed fnirly steady at or near the high prices of the day. Canada Steamships common and Russell Motors performed best, and while the news was favorable the fact that reactions developed In New Yflrk toward tho close ot the day,' It wtiri plain' that the fimuicial .community is awaiting the taking of full measures before going further. Steamships led on the local board from a standpoint of activity, going up to 40Yi in the morning nnd easing off to 39H in the tight afternoon trading, closing there for a .gain of one-eighth from Monday with the turnover for the day reaching a total of 1400 shares. The Russell Motor stocks were also responsible for. tlio stronger feeling with the common rising to 92 and closing Ya below the high point for an advance of 1% from yesterday, with the preferred 2 higher at 122.

General Electric rose 4% to 114% with 100 shares changing hands. MONTREAL MARKET OPENS WELL BUT HAS RELAPSE (By Daily News Leased Wire.) MONTREAL, April 3—Following the lead set by New York, Canadian stocks opened strong today and for a time the demand was marked by considerable breadth as well as activity. In the subsequent reaction at New York, however, tho market flattened quickly and trading in the afternoon relapsed into familiar dullness, with a drooping tendency in prices, early advances in some cases being lost. Thus, in the steel Stocks Dominion Iron finished 65% bid, or down >4; Steel of Canada 66 bid, or lower by 1% and Scotia Steel bid or down 1 point. Actual net cha'nges varied from this mostly because of the inactivity of the after, nodh when stocks were offered down. In tho first rise Dominion Iron sold at 66, or up %, but was offered at 65U atf'tne end of tho day. Steel of Canada was strong at 68 but fell back to 66% asked at the close. The outstanding feature of strength in the market was Canadian Locomotive, whose recent steadiness around 55 was followed today by a sharp advance of 5% points to 60%. Dospite the reactionary tendency of the rest of the market, the advance held to the close. Another feature of strength was Paton Manufacturing, ono of the least active stocks in the list. It sold at a new high level of 130 or 2T% points above the last reported sale. Stocks that were variably firm to strong through the day and wore credited with net gains at the close Included Brazilian, Brompton, Car, Cement, General Electric, Steamship common, Maple Leaf, Riordon and Spanish River. Net gains among these ran from, about % to a full point, but with some shading in final quotations. Total business, 5132 shares and $15,- Itoo bonds. CHICAGO STOCKYARDS.

TOMMIES HAVE LURID PERCEPTION OF HUMOR The trouble with the humor of the trenches on the British front in France Is that most of it you couldn't very well print In a family newspaper. In discussing* the subject, this was not exactly tiie way in which Inn Hay, author of "Tho First Hundred Thousand"—otherwise Capt. Ian Hay Belth, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, at present specially detailed to the foreign office— put it. But it was tlio general impression you gathered from his carefully guarded remarks. Humor in 'the trenches, utf'Cnptain Belth remarked, (.^distinguished primarily by a certain crude neatness. II is wholly lacking in subtlety and It is brutally direct. It'reached the highest development in the hands of the Cockney Tommies who have a distinctly lurid perception of the humorous. The Scots nre far more ponderous in their quips, and the Germans—well the best illustration Captain Hay could give of the German Idea, was the poster set up by some of them In a trench opposite the line held by the 16th -Irish division during the outbreak In Dublin last Easter week. The poster read: IRISCHMANS ,THE ENGLISHMANS ARE SHOOTING YOUR WIVES AND CHILDREN IN THE STREETS. The Irish cogitated over this poster throughout the day, and finally elected to make no written response. But after nightfall a party "went over," cleaned out the opposite trench and brought back a few German prisoners. Captain Beith considered that a first rate demonstration of German nnd Irish humor in the trenches. "The favorite diversion of the Tommies, whenever tho trenches nre close together," Captain Beith continued, "is PROTECT YOUR WAGES AND FAMILY By taking out a Sickness and Accident policy.

" EDITORS KNOW THAT THI8 IS TRUE , Chambers' Journal for March contains one article which will commend Itself to editors of newspapers, and possibly win be rend with a certain amount of Incredulity by readers of newspapers. The article is entitled "Some Fallacies About Editors," and cites a few of them. We quote from one part of the article ns having a .mV ' i ,r ■ ... special application here: "Another .deep-rooted fallacy is that the editor Is In perpetual want of 'things to fill up.' I suppose the popular picture of ah editor is of a distracted man who comes to the office about seven in the evening without an idea as to how his columns are to be filled next morning, trusting that some kindly providence will come along during the Evening with a sufficient supply of battles and tragedies and law cases to enable the paper to come out. He Is growing desperate when, by the laSt post, arrives > Mr. C. Scribendi's article on the state politics In I'ata- jroriia. With muttered thanks to a merciful providence, ho grasps the manuscript nnd rushes it to the printer; and the readers of the Morning Molehill are spared the humiliation of finding a vacant column on the back page next morning. No, editors do not live on casual manna in the wilderness like that. They are not in want of copy, not even in what used to be called the 'silly season' till the war had reduced ^Al the montliH of the year to a dead levil of wisdom. If you ever have anything to send to an editor, do not sonoVlt from eleemosynary motives, *to\fill up an odd corner.' Well-conducted newspapers do not have odd corners." CONCRETE DISPLACES WOOD AND STEEL FOR SHIPS. Attentlou has been .drawn of late to the new type of ship constructed in Norway, it being entirely of concrete with the exception of the ribs, which arc of steel. Two large barges so built tvure recently launched at Moss, a small town near Chrlstianin. It Is claimed that the hull will resist damage better than steel, Iron or wood, and will consequently be safer. Tho first practical application of the idea of such "stone ships" dates only a few months hack, when the first barge constructed of this material was launched. It at once attracted much attention at Scandinavia, and when a second barge of some hundred tons was launched al Moss the Swedish minister of marine, Daniel Uoslrom. who Is himself a largo shipowner, was present at the ceremony accompanied by experts who closely examined the new type of vessel in all its details. So satisfied was Mr, nostrum with the result of the investigation that he immediately ordered a lighter with several tons displacement. A similar "stone ship," a lighter for the mining company of Sydvaranger in Norway, Is now to he built for the oversea transport of iron, ore and coal. This vessel, having a displacement of 3000 tons, is to be ready before Christmas. Nlcolay Fougner, the inventor, maintaining that ships of any size can he built of concrete with steel ribs. A Swedish expert on the transport, service has proposed that the new Swedish ferryboats which are to be built for service between Sweden and Kng- land across the North sea, should be constructed of the new material. Besides ordinary cargo these boats could carry entire railway trains across the sea, having a displacement of between 15.000 and 20,000 tons. WHAT THE OLD LAND HAS DONE IN THE WAR The Wall Streot Journal prints the following striking tribute to what Great Britain has accomplished in the war: . .All the seven wonders of the world fade on history's page compared with the spectacle Great Britain presents today. A commercial nation of less than 50,000,000 people suddenly sum tnoned to arms where no arms existed 'and In loss than 30, months she has * mWW army, than history ever before recorded and a war machine in Europe ihai for wealth of shell, explosives and War power is the amazement ol tho Germans. „ Without an English airplane engine t!tiat could clrcte her own Island she am vanquished tho zeppellns and is mistress of her own skies. With sub' marines hy the hundred threatening her coast defenses, her food supplies "wn ' <"■■. ■• and her commerce, she has swept all oceans, locked the German fleet in harbor, convoyed shipments of gold across tho ocean In safety—loads of gold that In former times would have paralyzed national financial markets —made the English Channel her multiple track ocean railway to Europe with no loss by zeppelln or submarine; fought In Africa, at the Canal, at the Dardanelles; grappled with the Turk nnd the Bulgar; changed generals and admirals In command; changed cabinets; fed the armies of France; given arms to Russia; maintained the armies and the governments of Belgium and Serbia and altogether advanced $3,000,000,000, or three times the national debt of the United States, to her war allies. While the United States lias been trying to find out how to build military rifles in quantities und has unfilled orders for them representing hundreds of millions of dollars, England has been turning out rifles by the million for herself and her allies, cannon by tho thousand, boots and coats by the million for herself and her allies, and, wonder of wonders, she has done all this, Is doing it, is yet to do more, and has now her manufacturing, her trade relations and her overseas commerce unimpaired. Yet she has grabbed the trade of the world, so that her enemies are struggling on half rations with food, rubber and metal supplies from the outside world practically cut off except as new territory is taken. This is a gigantic physical power and a trade and war power combined never before dreamed of. It puts in the shade all that tho world previously knew of Great Britain's financial power. The British Hon was regarded as a money bag of trade nud a whelp of the seas. Great Britain's ability to put 10 per cent of her population under aims, to feed and equip her allies and at the same timo to maintain her credit and commerce throughout tho world wus something never dreamed of within or without her Empire before this war. I Defenders of Our House Conditions must indeed be growing bad In Germany. The people are so gloomy in Saxony, states an American consul who has just returned to the United States, that "every day is like a New England Sunday." The Pacific Cnnadian, a weekly paper published at New Westminster, has suspended, making twenty British Columbia newspapers thai have gone to the journalistic graveyard in less than two years, The man who ''goes short" also "goes broke." Any man who goes "short" on Brit Ish Columbia will Inevitably go broke.' A great American financier once voiced this doctrine concerning the United States and it applies just as potently to British Columbia. The man who adopts the "bear" attitude toward the future of this province will inevitably go broke If he backs his opinion with his money. It is the man who goes "long" on British Columbia who will win out. The man who goes ''long"; who allows no temporary setback or pessimistic talk to influence him into timid doubt concerning the future of the province and its ability to make good, financially and econo mically, is the man who best serves the people of British Columbia. And this applies to public men just as much as to individuals. (By h. B. C. Pollard.) There is an aspect of the present war that passes to a large extent unnoticed by the world. Civilization has seen how Britain entered the lists to defend her honor and how the oversea dominions of tho British Empire rallied to the support of our common cause. It is out or this that tho new aspect of imperial Britain emerges, for the Empire has become a new factor In world politics—an Empire of trained soldiers and veterans. The Btudent of political affairs between 1900 and 1914 was continually confronted with problems of Imperial defense; 1017 sees the main interests of these problems settled, for points that were difficult questions upon paper have been settled in fact without any discussion having arisen. War is a great solvent of political iccretlons, and measures have been adopted under the Instant pressure of events, that in peace time would have been bandied about as legislative Innovations for several years before they passed at all. Today Britain and Greater Britain, tho United Empire, stands with all its manhood trained and equipped for war—and modern war itself has been proved to be a matter only within the compass of great powers to conduct. Years hence, when the possibilities of the British* Empire will have been comprehensively developed, the defensive resources of the Empire will bo incomparably superior to their position In the present day, for we shall have not only the armies and factories of the United Kingdom but the man-power and the industries of the Dominions; the united legions of the Empire. Has Learnt Much The Greater British soldier, and in particular the officer, has learnt much during the progress of the campaign. The training of overseas forces and the teaching of their war seasoned men was for the most part based upon tho peculiar conditions and lessons of tho Boer war. The first experience of modern conflict revealed the need for new military methods and a speedy approximation to the soldier of the continental typo as distinct from the "Irregular" of the Boer war ideal. The overseas soldier, of course, brought with him certain preconceived prejudices. Like so many of the home-born citizen soldiers he confused discipline with red tape, and boasted a contempt for many of the regular soldiers' idols. This attitude was partly temperamental and duo In part to the free and self-assertive spirit of the overseas man. Also it was part of the tradition of the Boer war contingents; a natural point of view for the non-professional citizen soldier. As soon as the overseas soldier discovered for himself the practical reasons for rigid discipline, his shrewd Intelligence developed a quick appreciation of the need and he set himself to acquire the new spirit In earnest As a result of this tho German assurance as to tbe British overseas.troops proving to. be an undisciplined mob, was rudely dissipated by thAe troops thomselvep at the 'outset. This moral victory has hardly been appreciated at Its true value, for in point of fact It Is one of the greatest of the numerous triumphs the oversea troops have won. The war-trained oversea officer has not only become a soldier, but ho has become a highly efficient professional soldier in whose hands the military development of the youth of the Empire can safely be entrusted. Each' Will Have Her Quota; In the future discussion of problems of defense, public opinion in the Dominions will not be dependent solely upon the view of professional experts from tho United Kingdom. Each dominion will have her quota of thoroughly trained officers; men who have learnt the art of war not in the class room, but In the field. The temperament of the stay-at- home. Englishman has been affected by contact with the oversea mon, just ns much as the oversea man has risen to ii new appreciation of tho English, for both have been subjected to the same stresses of campaign, shared tho same perils and received the same honor. In the Boor war, the Greater Briton, accustomed to outdoor life and the wider scope of action of wilder lands, was better fitted for the campaign than was tho British trooper who had been bred in these crowded Islands. In this war the man from the factory has been upon more equal terms with the man from the ranges; for neither of them ever saw a, trench before. Troops from overseas, the men of the new army and the survivors of tho old regulars, thero is no difference between them now, nor will there be again. To a certain extent, modern warfare has forced far-reaching changes upon the old army, for many cherished Idols and .traditions have been scrapped. But they, the Territorials, Colonials, Kitcheners, all are now modeled alike. The very outward semblance of tho old red coated British army has been lost, and the imperial fighting machine bids fair to emerge victorious from tlio. si niggle closer akin, perhaps to tho French citizen soldiers type than any other military species. Imperial service, national service- citizen service, they are one and the same; for with the acceptation of the principle of national service, the days of predatory war making are ended. The launching of the German war machine was'the last attempt at world dominion; Hs defeat the first step toward a permanent peace. Men who' have been through war know the best methods of maintaining peace. / So far ns the British Empire is concerned, her dominions have learnt the lesson, and tho policy they will pursue after the war ia over will be the fruit of the wisdom of the warriors who return. Great Britain, and Greater Britain alike may well be hopeful of the future, when they look upon the defensive organization which their ordeals have called fopth.. i WHAT THE PRESS 18 SAYING J The Daily Paper In the days through which we are passing the dally -paper has come to occupy such a place in the home and the community that It can no longer he regarded as a luxury.

Carrying Bundles Help* To help out housewives in the struggle with the high cost of living, the grocers of a suburb of Chicago have decided to knock off five cents from any lot of goods the purchaser carrlos home. People have been so used to the delivery system that they take It oh a matter of course, liko wrapping paper and twine. It does not occur to them that tho thing enters into the cost of the wares they buy. But It Is an Important item to the grocer. It must be paid for by the consumers. The merchants would be glad to be rid of It particularly now when their own costs of operation have risen alarmingly, and they are faced not only with tho difficulty of getting materials, hut also with the difficulty of soothing their customers' resentment. It strikes us that the Chicago scheme Is worth transplanting.—Toledo Blade. ♦ ♦♦»♦♦ »♦»+■♦■».* I FREAK TREES t *♦+■♦-♦-»+-♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦-»*♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 To the person who Is not versed in forest lore the grotesquely bent tree tnmks^hat are to be found iu almost all woods are mystifying and wonder Is often aroused as to the cause. Foresters will tell questioners that In the case of trees In mountainous country and other sections where the snowfall is heavy the weight of snow Is responsible in most instances for the queer twists they assume. When a tree is young the weight of snow that falls on its branches often bends the trunk over until it Is flattened lo the ground. Sometimes it Is buried under six or eight feet of snow and held in that position ho loiijr that when warm weather comes tiie tree fails to spring buck Into its normal position. The summer sun causes the tip of the young tree to turn upward, and if It manages to withstand the weight of the snow the next winter that, portion of the tree will, as a general rule, continue to grow in a normal way. "Hairpin" bends and other odd shapes result. A curious tree stands at the lop of Ttinnet Hill, Johnstown, Pa., about four miles from town. It Is a sugar maple about 100 years old, which has prolonged its own life by grafting a branch into a much younger tree.— Populnr Science Monthly. t» »♦»♦♦♦-♦■ THE ENGLISH PHEA8ANT L: Suld He—Why do women, as a rule, talk more than men do?

Generally speaking, tho English pheasant Is misnamed, since it came from Asia, nnd is still to be found In India, Tibet and China. The birds were hrought to Europe moro than BOO years ago, turned loose on hunting proserves and thrived amazingly. They supply the finest bird shooting in Scotland and England, and so much care ts taken in raising them that thoy may almost he regarded as a half domesticated bird. Under the present system tho eggs are hatched by hens or In Incubators. The chicks are curefully fed on ln- sectH and prepared foods, and when they are able to shift for themselves they are turned into the woods.

LIGHT WAVES ~1 A RICH PRIZE FOR THE ALLIESX Germany's last remaining colony Is passing from her possession. The kaiser's dreams of a great' German central African empire are proved to have been only dreams and the German flag ceases to wave above a rich and fertile country twice the size of Germany. German and British East Africa are in many respects much alike. The number of white inhabitants is about the same. The highland regions nre^ suitable for white settlements and the agricultural products are similar. The Germans, however, have'gono in moro for planting than farming. The German territory Includes, of course, a considerable proportion of useless land, but^by. far,the. greater part of rich. In tho vicinity of the coast the soil is shallow and not very rich although eoeounut, palms and sisal (fibre) two of tho most important products of tho country, flourish In it. For years East Africa was Germany's most favored colony.. Largo sums were spent by the government on scientific research and in the construction of roads and railways, Spo- clal inducements were held out to settlers and every encouragement given to industry. The'Imperial navy, for example.^was ordered only to use rope made of"sisal grown In German possessions. Shipping was subsidised and money poured into the country for its development. Country of Great Possibilities It is indeed a country of great possibilities. Behind tho coast line lies a maritime plain from 10 to 40 miles broad whero the mango, orange, banana and other fruits flourish. Parts aro suitable for cotton and tobacco, while the natives cultivate rice, cassava, maize, beans, etc. Inland from this plain the country rises gradually to the plateau which constitutes the greater part of the Hinterland. Its general level Is 4,000 feet until It falls to the levels of lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa, '2,590 feet and 1,607 feet respectively. The greater portion of this country is rich and large sums have been spent in the Kilimanjaro, Moro- goro and Neu Langenburg districts. Ruanda is said to be Ideal, for stock raising. Coffee, vanilla, cnoutchon, cacao, sugar, tea and cinchona may be mentioned among the agricultural products. Coal, iron, lend, copper, mica and salt are known to exist. It Is true that in 1914 the revenue of the country wns only £825,000 but German East Africa is still in its infancy. We shall reap the benefit of the hard pioneer work done by - the Germans which has placed the colony far ahead of any tropical African country. Special attention has been devoted to means of communication, and it may be noted that the railways were designed to satisfy both military and commercial needs. The Cental railway runs from Dar-es-Salnam, the chief port on the coast, northwest across J.he Tabora plateau to Ujijl on lake Tanganyika a distance of 780 miles. It divides the colony into two parts nnd taps not only the Tanganyika district but also the western part of the Belgian Congo; ' ■ Tho Northern railway, ' 220 miles long, starts from Tanga on the coast and runs via Moshi to Arusha, It passes through the rich farmers' country about Kilimanjaro and the great plantations In the Usambnra highlands. Development Advanced The land has heen surveyed and plans prepared for many other railways and light railways, while excellent roads, some suitable for motor traffic, have been constructed. The telegraph, telephone and postal services have readied a high point of excellence, and wireless stations are established in various parts of the country. Large railway works exist at Tanga, Dar-es-Salaam and Tabora. Enough hns heen said to show that German East Africa Is not a. useless tract of tropical country. It is a going concern already highly developed and ripe for a very great Increase. No belter proof of Its value can be found than its enormous expenditure lavished upon it by the Germans. Commercially, it will be an asset to The very smallest thing on earth which has been actually measured Is a light wave. Light waves, of course, are of different lengths. In the spectrum the red waves are longest, orange next, yellow next and so on to the violet, which are shortest of the visible waves. So If we wero to give the measurement of tho very smallest thing we would havo to take one of the. light waves In the violet, end of tho spectrum, or better still, one of the waves of the ultraviolet portion which is invisible. Tho shortost of these that has been determined Is 120 mllllonthB of a millimeter. Changing this to fractions of nn inch, we can comprehend tbe smallncBs of the wave bettor. If these waves wore placed ono on top of tho other, there would be more than 200,- 000 of them In a line one inch long. Tho negligent corpuscle which is a constituent part of the atom is known to be smaller than this, but Its exact size lias not been determined. That theso light waves can be measured is due to the fact that as light waves aro refracted it Is only a matter of determining tlte angle of refraction and by trlnngulation finding the length.

GERMANY'S NEW UNDER- CRAFT TERROR MMt t 4 All Germany now appears to have comn to the conclusion that the submarine Is the weapon of the future for the German nation, nnd that complete victory to Germany, which means utter annihilation for her enemies can and will thereby he attained. Day und night the shipyards are never resting. Already submarines In large numbers arc In commission. Indeed, apparently, the only limit to the number in commission is the great difficulty In securing crews adequately trained, so that tho new submarines should not prove a greater danger to tho crews than to unarmed enemy ships. One of the chief training centres of the new crews of new submarines is Kiel harbor. There any day may bo seen about 30 of tho newest and lar-*; gost submarines being used solely for the purpose of training crews; but this Is by no means the only centre. The outline of the bows is described as being like the blade of a scythe, pointing upwards out of the water. By some process, said to be newly invented, this blade Is cxprcmely hard nnd extremely sharp, so tfiat when the sub- marine traveling nt a moderate speed, strikes a wire hawser an Inch and a half thick, it cuts it through as If mere hempen rope. ] This work of construction and training is not carried out without dangers, difficulties and accidents. At the recent launching of a submarine at the famous Gcrmania wharf a disaster occurred. The submarine was released and glided down tho slips with Increasing speed. When it was quite impossible to check it, the spectators saw, lying across the slips cither a crowbar or other Iron Implement. They could only watch and wait for the impact. The vessel struck the obstacle, bounded up and then fell upside down "Seal Brand" means a certain, definite blend of high-grade coffee—uniform in quality and always delicious. < Don't take any chances— always insist on having "SEAL BRAND" COFFEE.

If Food Disagrees Drink Hot Water When food lies like lead In tho stom ach und you have that uncomfortable distended feeling, it is because of in sufficient blood supply to the stom ach, combined with acid nnd food fer mentation. In such cases try tbe plan now followed In many hospitals and advised by many eminent physicians of tnking a teuspoonful of pure blsurated magnesia in half a glass of water, as hot us you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach and the blsurated maKncsia as any physician can tetl you, instantly neutralizes the acid and slops the food fermentation. Try this simplo plan and you will be. astonished at the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. Peo pie who find it Inconvenient at times to secure hot water and travelers who aro frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared should always take two or three five-grain tablets of Blsurated Magnesia aftor. meals to prevent fermentation and neutralize the acid in their stomach. iiihi in»iniliii» t A SINGLE APPLICATION WILL I BANISH OBJECTIONABLE t HAIRS.

F- Young, iP.D.F., 445 Lymans Bldg., Montreal, Can, War Correspondent TeHs of Adaptation of Words to Languages in War Time. (By Stewart Lyon to Canadian Press, Montreal.) * v WITH THE BRITISH ARMY, IN FRANCE. April 3.—"Righto." Everywhere one hears this word of genernl utility In that part of France in which British, troops aro quartered. The French use it as they use the word "Sport" and many other adaptations from the English language. Long after the war ends, perhaps centuries henco when the great struggle 1h but a bit of difficult history for school children, the people of northern Franco may still indicate cheerful acquies- cense by singing out: "Righto." New words-make their way into a language easily and quickly in time of war because of the need lor forms of expression that will be easily understood by the sojourner. When they got In they stay, as Scotsmen understand who have given study to the derivation of the Lothian tongue. "Tns- sie,'' a cup of convivial drinking, is almost certainly a survival of the presence of a French garrison during the early years of the reign of Mary Stuart. Near Linlithgow palace, long the centre of French influence, is a wide expanse of level ground known in the vernacular as "Chamfloory." This is unquestionably a corruption of Champs des Fleurs, th© parade ground of troops who found it carpeted with dandelions when they first saw it Then there is the story that the Edinburgh man does not like to hear on a west country tongue. There wero and are, very high houses in old VAin burgh, chiefly on High street and Can nongate. In tho pro-sewer days It was a heavy task to carry household slops downstairs, so the Edinburgh house' wife threw them over the window-sill to the cry of "Gardyloo," so that any Frenchman in the street would look out for the water, "(lardyloo" was the warning cry long after the lost soldier of* France had gone. •Th*v strange French-EngllMlv-1 that during almost three years has been getting a grip in northern France may stick like tho Scots-French in tho Lo- thluns three centuries ago. Today, whnn in limping French I asked for "Le menage des officers," the very old lady I asked replied; "La messe c'ost la." In France 'La messe" is the phrase for mess and the old lady was letting inc see not only that she knew the right name for the officers' quarters but that she considered they might bo given a moro fitting name. Patience Beyond Praise. The patience with which the people bear the long-continued hardships and perils of military occupation is beyond praise. Today from a Toronto artillery officer 1 heard this story, Up near Armentieres close by his battery was the tiny farm of a pedant who was well-to-do in that ho owned two horses. When tho b.i'.tory located near him lie was preparing hts land for a crop of wheal. When the Germans replied to the Canadian fire most of the shells fell in the prospective wheat field. They were what is known as "Light stuff" and the holes they made were filled in without too great difficulty. The work of preparation was almost completed—under dally shell fire, be it rehiembered— when a bursting shell killed both the old man's horses. It was a sore stroke, but the offer to loan a pair of battery horses was thankfully accepted, all the shell holes wero filled, seeding was completed, and the Canadians remained long enough to see the plucky old fellow reap a good crop in spite of the Bosche. : That represents one sort of patience. Another is displayed by tens of thousands of householders, from the owners of tho fine old chateaux to tho colliers of tiie mining villages, who have had men of alien race, billeted in their houses ever since liu-l. To give up one's best bedroom for a few days to a convention delegate with whom one can become well acquainted In an hour Is a pleasure. To be deprived for years of every spare room so that strangers may uso them Is a great hardship. It is borne uncomplainingly "pour la Patrie." Often, alas, the room of the son of the household' would be empty but for "les Anglais." The Frenchmen who have made the last great sacrifice are numbered by hundreds of thousands and the ond is not yet The suggestion is heard occasionally that thero will bo many marriages between British soldiers and French girls after tho war. Assuredly much laughter that is not all masculine is heard In billets and elsewhere. There are very many men In transport and similar services located all the way from the English channel to tho battle front. It would bo strange if the little archer did, not hit some of them. Tho resultant crop of marriagos— big or little—will bo to the advantage of France, because It wilt bind the* people on opposito sides of the channel still more closely together, j Ono of tlio groat discoveries of the war has been l-Yunce's finding of her soul. Another has been the discovery that tho supposedly soft und degenerating, if not already degenerate, Englishman is as hardy and as tough and resourceful a fighter as his ancestors who followed the great Edward or the dauntloss Henry to France centuries ago. A little racial Intermixture might benefit both nations. Britain ueodB France's mental alertness and adaptability; Franco could find a pfaoo for English physique and resolution.

(5406) M „ LD MAKE CITY TOME CENTRE Nelson Transfer Company Bring* in Two Carloade of*Cars—Several Sales Made. Tho entry into the automo^i'.'.! bus- InesB, on a substantial scale, of the Xolson Transfer company, which received its first carload of now ears from the McLaughlin factories in Oshawa, Ont., Saturday, is felt to mark a significant business advance In Nelson, by establishing It as the nu- tom'oblie headquarters for the Kootenay-Boundary. The first shipment, which will be followed by another carload of cars to arriv« next week, consisted of six ears, three of which aro Chovrolets and three McLaughlins and plans arc already under way for the enlargement and special equipment of the garage fa- tilities of tho company, which It Is expected will soon be found Inadequate to accommodate the new ears on order as well as the machines belonging to citizens renting storage rooms or whose cars are In need of repairs. The confidence of the firm in the future of the district as an automobile market is unbounded and already Severn 1 orders have been booked for new ears by Nelson citizens. Among those who |iavo purchased machines are Dr. Gilbert Hart In, who will in future drive a Chevrolet four, and F. H. Skoels, who, Instead of tbe Studabaker four which ho drove last season, will this year drive a McLaughlin six. The firm states that since the filing Of, its order for these shipments tho price of automobiles have risen twice, but that it will be able to give their first buyers the' advantage of the former quotations, In speaking of the entry of, the Nelson Transfer company Into the business, George Kurts stated yesterday that he believed this year would see a large number of new machines in operation in the district and that a large market was opening up for ears. Thero was no reason, he declared, why Nelson should not bo made the selling centre for Kootenay-Boun- dary and declared that his firm had decided to Uevolop the business in the city on a large scale.

J.O.Patenaude SPECIALIST IN OPTICS. Nelson News* of the Day B/Mion TO BUY OR SELL TRY WANT AD ED Fifty Millions Needed for War Hospitals—Volunteers Asked to Search for Moss. The use of Sphagnum moss for surgical dressings is by no means new; It has been used since time immemorial. They are said to have been employed to a limited extent Ln the Napoleonic and franco-Prussian wars; U ts known that tbe German army medical people were using them before the war and that they are using them In large quantities at the present time. But It is only within the past two years that tho Urltish army has adopted this form of dressing; even In the spring of 1916 the use of moss In hospitals was still in its experimental stage. Now, however, since they arc considered to be superior to any other available absorbent dressings, societies and organizations hnvc heen formed throughout Great Britain and Canada to collect sphagnum and prepare dressing for use In the various war hospitals. The Irish St. John's Ambulance association under the presidency of the Countess of Wuterford created a sphagnum department, and is supplying over 50,000 moss dressings per month. To show how rapidly the demand has grown, Sir Alexander Os- »ton, M. D., the eminent military surgeon, ln an article in the National Review for August, estimates tho probable casautlles for this year and concludes that at leust fifty million dressings should be prepared and clearly Indicated that sphagnum is superior to any other absorbent materials. It is, therefore, quite clear that Canada and British Columbia In particular, with its large sphagnum resources, and many willing Red Cross workers should lose no time in ascertaining what we can do to provide a share of these hospital supplies. Red Cross workers in eastern Canada found thut certain species of sphagnum In the east were eminently suited for surgical work and began the preparation of dressings, but winter came on and all the sphagnum bogs were buried under snow so that for the time being no moss could be collected, TODAY ONLY Flora Parker DeHaven In tho Red Feather Feature, "THE WHIRLPOOL OF DESTINY" Twelfth Chapter of "THE IRON CLAW" Note—This week and each succeeding week "The Iron Claw" will be shown Wednesday only. Don't miss a single day at at the GEM Easter week. A new program each day. Meantime they thought of the mild climate of British Columbia and a communication wns forwarded by the head office of the Canadian Red Cross society to John Davidson, F. L. S. botanical office, University of BrltlBh Columbia, to ascertain what species wero available for this purpose, and samples were forwarded to Prof. J. S. Porter of McGill university, who is secretary of tho sub-committee on sphagnum dressings. In acknowledging receipt of these Professor Porter asks for sufficient quantities to enable him to make absorbency tests, aB some species were more valuable tha nothers. The next mail brought a letter stating that for the present all Canadian supplies of sphagnum dressings were being held up on account of freight congestion on the railways and a serious reduction of cargo space on transatlantic shipping, but it is expected that these difficulties will soon be removed and that all our supplies will go forward as before. Meantime it is desirable for volunteer workers throughput tiie province to take stock of their resources and also for Red Cross workers to inform themselves as to the technology of preparing dressings. It should be stated that while the Canadian Red Cross is undertaking serious and probably extensive work on this new material, it does not consider it advisable for untrained persons lo make up dressings, Experience In Great Britain has shown that only certain grades of moss arc useful, and dressings made to any but the strictest specifications are likely to be worse than useless. It Is desirable that all bogs in British Columbia should be searched for suitable mass and preliminary samples sent to the botanical office, University of British Columbia Vancouver. Collectors should state the locality and also if found in abundance. The specimens will be examined and reported on as soon as possible. No attempt should lie made to collect moss in quantity, still less to make dressings, except with the approval and subject to the inspection of the provincial Red Cross authorities. This preliminary stuck taking of our bogs is work which could be undertaken by the various Boy Scout and Girl Guide organizations In the province and they should be instructed to keep each sample and the Information pertaining to its district, so as to preclude the possibility of confusion When the request comes to procure supplies of any particular kind. Therui are many different species found ii | British Columbia. It may be pojsible to find useful and useless grades la the same hog. Funeral Attended by Members of I. O. O.

Contributions of jam, jellies, preserved fruits and pickles, received yesterday at the rooms of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, for inmates of the returned soldiers sanitarium at Balfour, reached 12r> quarts. Yesterday wan the first day of tho shower which is being held under the auspices of the local branch of the Canadian Red Cross society nnd the Kokanee chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire and it is expected that today will see the girts more than doubled, as it is pointed out that it will take a. large quantity of these things to provide even a toothful for each of the ailing men that are expected soon to fill up the building. Attention has been drawn to the fact that the government cannot supply ''home made" delicacies and while the supplies provided In regulations are of the best that can be purchased, It Is felt that there 'exists such a wide difference between "store-bought" and "homo made'* that there is no comparison whatsoever. It has been suggested that if every woman In Nelson and district, who has home made delicacies upon her cellar or pantry shelves would sacrifice hut ono quart for tho use of the sick fellows, a good supply would be gathered together. The rooms on Josephine street will bo open this afternoon from 2 until 6 o'clock for the receiving of gifts. BRITISH GUNS MANGLE GERMAN BATTALION (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

D0UKH0B0RS Will NOT HOU HONE Verigin's Cable to New Government Merely Diplomatic Courtesy- Interests Too Great Dotikliobors in Canada have no desire to return to Russia as the result of the overturn of the monarchy, according to tho statement of John Sherblnln, right-hand man to Peter Verlgln, leader of the Doukhobor communities in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Mr. Shorblnin, who is visiting Nol- son, declared last night that there was not the slightest chance of his people leaving Canada, nor had they any wish to do so, as they were perfectly content with tho conditions under which they were living. Mr, Verlgln was also a visitor to the city yesterday, and the question was thoroughly discussed between him and Mr. Sherblnln, Mr. Verlgln stating. with reference to the cables sent by him to the former Czar Nicholas and to the new government, that he had done tills merely for diplomatic reasons and to register In Russia the interest taken by his people In the affairs of their homo country. The cable sent by Mr. Verlgln to the dethroned monarch, following the announcement of his abdication, was in the form of a. tribute to his wisdom In abiding by the expressed will of the people without plunging the country into internal warfare. Tho cable to the government stated that under the new order of things 10,000 Doukho- bors in Canada would, if necessary for the welfare of the country, return to Russia us agriculturists and hoi-' tlculturlsts. Mr. Verlgln, said Mr. Sherblnln, de clared that his people were entirely satisfied with conditions under which they wero living in Canada and therefore there was not the slightest chance of their returning to Russia, unless some crisis should occur in the Dominion which would render It necessary for.the Doukhobors to leave the country in order to maintain their Identity and retain their beliefs. Mr, Sherblnln declared that the interests of the community were too large to be abandoned and that the increasing commercial development of its agricultural, timber and other resources would hold the people here even were there any desire to return to Russia, li SEVEN MAINTAINS HAD Manual Training School Report for March Issued—Leading Class Has 81 Marks.
