PARKER WILLIAMS FOR
MINIS TER OF MINES ?
VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 23.—On
the eve of the announcement by
H. C. Brewster, the new premier,
of his cabinet, Victoria is agog with
the rumor from authoritative
sources that Parker Williams is to
be minister of mines.
Strong Influence, it is stated, has
been brought to bear on Mr. Brewster to prevent him from making
the appointment but the Liberal
leader has refused to take artyone
into his confidence and the strongest men of the party on tbe coast
are as much in the dark as to the
real situation as are the general
public.
Mr. Williams was elected in
Newcastle against Dr. Dier, Conservative. He ran as leader of the
Parker Williams Socialist party,
as he was some months ago repudiated by the organization Socialists. He refused however, to run
as a Liberal.
Coast Liberals refuse to consent
to associating their party with the
Socialists and declare that in any
event Mr. Williams has no claim on
a portfolio aa he refused to run as
a  Liberal.
Another rumor which has not
given much pleasure to the Liberal
leaders here is that Dr. John Mackay of Vancouver is to run for Al-
berni and be given the portfolio
of minister of education,
But about this, too, Mr. Brewster refuses to take his former as
sociates into his confidence. They
eay they do not understand his
attitude and lay emphasis upon
their contention that it was the
Liberal party and desire for a
change and not Mr. Brewster
which carried the party to victody
on Sept. 14.
VANCOUVER, B. C„ Nov. 23.—
The resignation of Hon. W. J.
Bowser was placed in the hands of

tor has made no formal announcement of his slate, but the following is the probable ministry:

Head of War Purchasing
Board
(By Dnily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Nov. 23.—Canada linn a
now minister ot militia. As generally
anticipated tlie mantle of Sir Sam
Hughes lias fallen upon tho shoulders
of Hon. A. B. Kemp, who hns been
minister without portfolio in the Borden government nnd who for more
than a year hns been the head of the
war purchasing department. Thc
new minister was sworn in at a lato
liour tbis afternoon in the presence of
his excellency tbe Duke of Devonshire. The oath of office \vua administered by Rudolph BoUdreau, clerk
of tbe privy council.
Speaker Sevigny will be In the
capital tomorrow and will authorize
tbe Issue of writs for thc byelcctlon
necessitated by tbo acceptance by Mr.
Kemp of an office of emolument under
tbo crown. Air. Kemp sits for East
Toronto. The writs will be Issued lm
mediately and will cnll for an election
between Dec. 15 nnd 20. Whether
there will be a contest or not Is not
known hero.
It Ih not known whether a successor
to Mr. Kemp as head of the war purchasing department will be named.
There Is an impression, however, that
Mr. Kemp will continue to act in a
(supervising capacity in addition to
being minister of militia. He will bo
enabled to do this because of thc fact
that F. B. McCurdy, under secretary
for the department, will relieve him of
considerable routine business relating
to the department.
Mr, Kemp was acting minister of
militia during the period of Sir Sam
Hughes' absence in Knglnnd last
winter, an absence which was terrain
ated hy his recall when the Kyto
charges were made In thc house.

NICKEL EMBARGO WOULD
BE SU1CIDAL-MEIGHEN
* TORONTO, Nov. 23.—In an address here today before the
Howard Conservative association,
Hon. Arthur Melghan, solicitor-
general, declared that on the British government rested the responsibility for any nickel reaohlng
Germany, as the Canadian government acts on orders from the
British government and checks
shipments from Canada to the
United States.
It would he, he said, suicldul for
Canada to place an' embargo on the
metal as it would prevent the allies
from getting what thoy want, through
tho lack of refining facilities In
Canada.
Bejfardlnp Ilui'W^ powart's charges
respecting the Merton firm in London,
which is acting as agent for the International Nickel company, he stated
that the firm acts as sole agent ln
Britain and had the full consent of
the government. It was considered
desirable thnt thero should be only
one channel through which orders may
receive the ratification of the British
government. The shares of tho firm
hail, all been turned over to British
people, or to people loyal to tho allies.

they wero going to an enemy cvjratry.

LAURIER  GIVES  PRAISE
TO CANADIAN ENGINEERS
(Uy Dally News Leased Wire.)
(>TTAWA, Nov. 23.—Sir Wilfrid
Lnurler was the guest of thc Ottawa
Engineering society today at a luncheon when be gave nn address on Canadian engineering. Sir Wilfrid cm-
phaslzed his conviction ns a result of
yenrs of experience that the Canndlnn
engineer was the equal of any in the
world.
He said that when the Quebec brhlre
was first proposed it was felt that tbe
undertaking was too great for Canadian engineers and the contract was
lot to nn American company and the
plans were drawn by American engl-
noeds. The plans proved to bo faulty
and tho bridge collapsed of Us own
weight. They decided on tho second
attempt to engage Canadian cnglneois
and Canadian workmen. Unfortunately
there was a second dis.i.itir, but It v. up
not due to tho fault of any engineering
design, but to faulty machinery. The
structure of the bridge proved sound.
Ho was of the opinion that Canad'an
engineers should always bo given tho
preference. Sir Wllf"!d said that thc
Cunadlan engineers he hnd found stood
for honesty and honor. They should
maintain these high standards.

Ancre and Italians 5000 on Isonzo
(By Dally Nows Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Nov. 23.™"It Is for Hin-
denberg to decide whether the gains
of the Germnn army in Rumania pay
for the losses sustained on the other
fronts by the withdrawal of divisions
to operate there," said Maj.-Gen. F. B.
Maurice, chief director of military operations of the war office, discussing
today with an Associated Tress correspondent the latest military developments.
"It is Impossible and foolish to prophecy the outcome of the German campaign In Rumania," continued Gen.
Maurice, "but I can say th© first efforts to cut through by way of Predeal
Bass havo been a failure. Since that
time the Germans have had to go
long way around, thereby giving the
Rumanians time, which they needed,
"Tho Germans have a long line of
communications to defend, while the
rapid approach of mid-winter operates
In  favor of the  Rumanians.
18,000 Germans Captured.
"I will not undertake to say whether

gan the French at Verdun have regained much lost ground and captured
GOOO prisoners while we gained a con
slilcrable victory un the Ancre with
7000 prisoners; and the Italians took
moro ground on their front as well
as  5000  prisoners.
'*I have just returned from a visit

German communbiues asserting that
we had much greater objectives In

Teutons   Claim   Success.
LONDON, Nov. 23.—The Teutonic
allies in the Wallaehian provinces aro,
uccording to Teutonic claims, which
are not contradicted by Bucharest or
petrograd, keeping up their advance
against the Rumanians. The operations there are, according to the latest
German official communication, "progressing in accordance with our plana."
Semiofficial advices from Berlin are to
the effect thnt Gen. von Falkenliayn's
army, up to Nov. 21, had taken 11,000
squaro kilometres of wheat soil in
Wallaehla and with the capture of the
railway had cut off the communication
of all the Rumanian troops west of
Craiova. Berlin reports thai reinforcements of Russians on the eastern
Transylvanhin border have arrived, but
the locality is not definitely stated. In
the Alt region Bucharest reports that
the Rumanians are holding their posU
tions.
Repeated Von  Ktuck's Move.
PARIS, Nov. 23.—Henri Bldeau, thd
military critic of the Journal Desbats,
compares the German Gen. von Fal-
kenhayn's attack with his right wing,
which resulted in the ta*klng of CraU
ova, to Von Kluck's enveloping movement on Paris before the battle of the
Mnrne. He points out thnt Von Fal-
kenbayn's strategy was to fix the attention of the Rumanians on his central attack. In the region of Campulung,
whllo his right wing was rapidly nnd
virtually without supports, sweeping
on toward Bucharest.
At the same time Field Marshal vort
Arz hi Moldavia and Von Mackenzen
in Dobruja. were fighting battles principally of demonstrations. M. Bldeau
asks "What Is the situation today?"
and replies: "While Von Falkenhayni
has succeeded in getting his enveloping movement under way, he leaves a.
very daiiKerous blank between the
army at Craiova and the central army,
descending the Aluta river. This blank
Is 100 kHometres wide and exposed to
attacks by tho allies. If the Gcrman-
Bulsrar armies were closing up togothei*
ns they come down to Bucharest tho
situation of tiie allies would bo mucti
moro   unfavorable."
Taking the two armies together. M",
Bldeau reckons that Von Fnlkcnhayri
has 20 divisions, to cover a front of
500 kilometres (310) miles, which ha
says nre not nearly enough if the &U
lies can attack anywhere on masse.

It distresses you as much as her!
Why continue to treat it by dosing
tho stomach (which is not ailing)
with cough mixtures, syrups,
tonics, and the like? You will
never cure lung troubles by dosing
the stomach. The Peps way is entirely different. Peps are tablets
made up of Pine extracts and medicinal essences, which when put into
the mouth turn into healing vapors.
These are breathed down direct to
the lungs, throat and bronchial
tubes—not swallowed down to tho
stomach—which is not ailing.
Peps contain no morphia, laudanum, nor any of the poisons which
are found in many of the old-Cash-
ioned syrups. Peps are, therefore,
best for ased peoplo and for young
children. Peps do not disorder the
stomach: they sweeten the breath,
are pleasant to take, and arc the
latest and best that science can
offer for the treatment of coughs,
colds, bronchitis and allied lung
troubles. SOc. all druggists and
stores, or for price from Peps Co.,

PANTOMIME  AND
HORROR COMBINED
London     Times     Correspondent     Describes 'Tanks'' in Action on
Somme  Front
Tho Germans huve now bad fair opportunities of becoming acquainted
with at least the exterior nnd the
fighting power of our "tanks"; so It
is permissible to go discreetly some
way towards giving a description of
Ihem, writes the special correspond
ont of the London Times at British
headquarters. Curiosity in regard to
them usually expresses itself in the
question: "What animal are they
really like?" Candor compels on to
reply that they are not like any animal, except so Cur as they are even
less like anything else on earth, it
you must have sonic particular animal
to compare them with, they perhaps
resemble In general contour ji toad
rather elongated towards Its hinder
end.
In size the thing Is—well,-large, Not
to be too exact, It Is bigger than an
ordinary motor-car and smaller than
a laborer's cottage. In these circumstances II can hardly he expected to
move fast, and the dellborateness of
its advance, coupled with the fact
that it Iiuh no visible wheels or legs,
gives it a perfectly ridiculous solemnity.

allsls call protective colors, the colors
of snakes or lizards—that Is, browns
and greens and yellows, which harmonize admirably with the desolated
environment In which the creatures
move. Perhaps this Coloration Increases the suggestion of a toad in
the thing's appearance; till one almost
thinks that some huge und awful
batracbian may havo lived, if not In
the childhood of this earth, then in
some other world, a thing related to
all other toads as Dlplodocus Is related to a small sand lizard. When
one sees ihe unspeakable things moving, with their great blunt noses
thrust in tbe air before them, limbless and whcelless, going with a
movement as smooth us that of a
snake, but majestic and deliberate as
a giant tortoise, It is such a mixture
of pantomime and pure horror as no
nightmare ever equalled.
They are, as you know, armor-clad,
hut the thickness of their armor I
must not tell, although tho Germuns
doubtless know it. l-'or their armament, it may vary as you please, but
Is of the machine-gun typo; and tho
guns, It is needless to say can fire in
all directions. Bach carries its commanding officer and a crew of drivers
and gunners; ami they have at least
room enough in their Interior to have
been able on at least ono occasion,
as you have been told, to bring home
n Oerman battalion commander ns u
prisoner inside. To thrust oneself,
cooped up In the beast's steel interior
Into the maze of the enemy's trenches
and strong positions must be an exceedingly unpleasant job, but not a
man, 1 believe, on any machine has
yet behaved otherwise than splendidly.
Offioial and Army Titles
Officially the new craft call themselves bis majesty's land ships t"ll.
At. L. S.") und every one carries Its
own name—Pclphlne, Daphne, Uelsle,
Cordon RougO or Creme de Mentha—
as proudly as any ship of the sea.
But. whatever they call themselves,
the army generally calls them "tanks,"
that name, It Is understood, ns 1 have
told before, being chosen as having
tbe •merit of being totally undescrip-
tive. No person overbearing an unguarded conversation about "tankH"
could possibly imagine that It. had reference to such a portentously Incredible thing as are these land-ships. And
besides "tanks," the army call them
by many names, uh "Rhino" and
"Willie" and "Crocodile" and "Humming   Bird,"   and    other    names   less
printable, while in certain select
circles the brute is known as the
"Hush-hush."
Even atr a slow rate of speed a
creature of this size travels with considerable momentum; and neither the
brick wall of an* ordinary house nor a
tree of moderate size, if Behemoth
gels a fair push at It, is much of »»
obstacle in his path. Lesser obstructions are only pleasing incidents in his
jouuney, which he climbs over, as a
slug climbs over a pebble, or squashes
by his weight and passes on.
The Vague Horror
The Germans, as It has been said,
have now had fair opportunities of
seeing something of the animals.
More than one, as you know, has lain
crippled out between the lines, where
the enemy has been able on the one
yide as we wero able on thc other to
creep up und examine it, always subject 'to the possibility of being shot,
or bombed, in tho operation. No
"tank," however, has fallen into the
enemy's hands. The Germans have
bccn*V'able to reach tho beast and
londlo It, but they have not been able
to persuade one to follow them home.
Many thousands of German soldlors
also have seen the things coming into
battle, and they must have been a
terrifying sight to those who saw
them first dimly outlined In the grey
light of dawn, spitting fire and death
as they came. <>nc can pity oven
Germans who only saw the vngue
horror moving against them and wero
Killed by il before they knew What It
was that killed them.
The lime is doubtless not far away
when pictures of "tanks" will bc familiar features of the illustrated papers
and we shall have their portraits on
post cards. Children will havo miniature "tanks" for toys, and street-sellers will make them waddle about the
kerb. As yet, however, they aro half-
mysteries.
Of the value of the services which
they have rendered there can be nn
question, or of lhe gallantry with
Which they have been  handled.

Opinion   Now   Being   Held   Generally
That Prioes Do Not Depend on
the War.
A French inquiry for 226,000,000
pounds of copper for delivery In the
second half of next year, tho selling
of spot electrolytic at a new high rec-
ord price, a tremendous demand for
domestic consumers, a serious shortage of copper for this delivery, a preB
sure on producers to open their books
for last half business, have been the
developments in the copper market
since our last market report. Last
week it was stated that there wero
"rumors that anothor tremendous foreign purchase is Impending." Tho for.
eign inquiry was announced on Thursday. It was stated that "domestic consumers are willing to place their second half requirements under contract.'
Definite acknowledgement of such Inquiries has since been made by leading producers, says the Mining World.
Business Excited,
Business in copper recently hns been
excited. Consumers who were In need
of first quarter copper shopped around
all the leading producers without filling their wants. Dealers who aro holding large blocks of metal available for
nearby delivery are selling sparingly,
waiting for higher prices. Copper was
sold at 32H cents for spot, 31 to Sl-j&c
for first quarter delivery and 30 to 30%
for second quarter delivery. Predictions that tho red metal will sell at
40 cents a pound before the end of
the year are being heard. Tho extent
of copper requirements of domestic
consumers for delivery in thc first
quarter that must still ihe purchased
appears to have been greatly underestimated. One important wire maker
is now seeking 600,000 pounds per
month for the first quarter. Several
brass makers are negotiating for 2,-
000,000 to 3,000,000 pounds a month for
that delivery. There are even some
million pound lots being sought for
December delivery. Thc amount of
copper Inquired for In carload lots is
nlso tremendous.
Dealers in Control.
With dealers controlling the entire
situation over the first quarter the
fact that a premium market for copper has arrived cannot be disputed.
The inability to Increase production of
copper Is primarily the cause of the
tight situation now prevailing. Consumers who felt secure in the belief
that tho output would run above 200,-
000,000 pounds a month by the first of
the new year have since come to n
realization of the fact that consumption will bo greatly In excess of tho
output. Producers warned these consumers of their peril but they failed
to heed the injunction. Price considerations are no longer the determining
factor as to whether a consumer will
buy copper.
Courage of Sentiment.
Melters, who are protected ovor the
first half are clamoring for coverage
over tho second half. There hns been
a remarkable change In sentiment
among copper consumers. The opinion
Is now more general that the future of
copper does not depend wholly on the
continuance of tho wnr. With Europe
buying copper a year ahead oa orders
that cannot bo cancelled and willing to
pay the prevailing high prices, domestic consumers have found that the
fears of a reaction lf the war should
end, are baseless.
Producers Conservative.
Producers are today limiting even
transactions for the second half of
next year to regular customers. Buyers who havo mado a practise of shopping around are finding that their
"penny saved Is a penny earned" policy is of no earthly advantage to them
whon the market turns from a buyers'
to a producers' market. It has come
down to apportioning copper production. Output cannot bc increased sufficiently to take care of tho greatly
enlarged world demand. Facilities
may bo created but labor cannot and
there Is theVub. Plants cannot be run
forever without reairs and when parts
for renlrfs cannot be obtained plants
close. Thus notwithstanding tlio desires of producers to bring the output
up to 225,000,000 pounds a month there
are factors which prevent them from
so doing.

GRANBY OUTPUT GROWS
Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power company's October copper production of 4,340,09!) pounds is
a gain over previous month of about
906,000 pounds.
Anyox output amounted to 3,081,431
pounds, an Increase of 900,950 pounds
over September production at the Hidden creek property and practically the
entire gain for October, since production at Phoenix was 1,254,6(18 pounds
as compared with 1,259,554 in September. ,
Production at tho Hidden Creek property which really constitutes the
"Now Granby'' is now at the rate nf
37,000,000 pounds per annum. It
expected that this will be Increased
to 40,000,000 pounds.
Even with the present high eost of
supplies and unsettled labor conditions
production cost of copper Is about 8.75
cents a pound, so that tho company,
on the basis of 25-cent copper is earning at the annual rate of more than
$45 a share.

LOSSES MODERATE
BUT VERY GENERAL
Traders in New York Are in Mood Receptive of -Depressing   Reports-
Coppers  Down.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 23. — Traders
seemed in a mood today to accept with
little or no reservation the many reports of a character calculated to depress quoted values. These rnnged
from the stability of existing war contracts to the measures employed by
banking interests to check excessive
spoculntlon, while the Internationa'
situation was injected with some effect. Declines were mostly moderate
but very general coppers, munitions
and related issues, including equipments, making extreme concessions of
1 to 3 points. Shipping shares also
were heavy, a result ascribed to the
loss of the Britannic, although Atlantic,
Gulf & West Indies rose briskly on Intimations of an early division of profits. Leather Issues were comparatively strong in connection wilh es
tahlished trade conditions and such
distinctive industrials as Bethlehem
Steel and Lackawanna Steel made
gross gains of substantial proportions
as did Oulf States Steel.
I'nlted States Steel was sold steadily
in round amounts down to 124, an ex
treme decline of 1V4, with no material
recovery. ' Offerings in stoel came
from quarters usually represented by
professional Interests, The stock contributed not less than one-fifth of the
dny's dealings.
Efforts to revive interest In motors
and affiliated stocks met with Indifferent success, and the operations of pools
In the other pnrts of the list were
equally futile. Final prices in the more
important slocks were at or nenr the
lowest levels of the dny.
Rails showed a lack of public Interest, despite the publication of additional excellent statement on earnings. Reading Atlantic Coast Lino.
Rock Island and less prominent issues
shaded a point on more light offerings. Total sales of .stocks 1.G20.000
shares.
Call money rose to i% per cent toward the close and time money stiffened also, further discrimination being shown  against  Industrial  loans.
Itnnds were irregular with concessions in most international Issues. To.
tal sales, par value, $5870,000.

of this Issue which has had a great

(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 23.—Heavy sell
ing by houflea with seaboard connections gave a downward swing to the

Transitory gnlns nt tho outset In

nnd Australia. As soon ns values here
had scored a moderate advance, how
ever, selling widened out to an extent
that could not be readily nbsorbr-d and
tho embargo talk, together with an
apparent absence of any important ex
port sales, seemed sufficient to put
the bears in control for the rest of the
dny. Lack of sufficient available
freight room on vessels for Europe
tended to discourage buyers, and ho
did complaints of a shortage of n .,
way* cars, especially ns restricting the
operations of millers In the northwest,
a condition mnde more acute by the
approaching closo of traffie on the

OTTAWA. Nov. 23.—The decline in
flour has been very short lived. The
wholesale price jumped 30 cents loday,
making the price per barrel of 196

Throwing a Stone
Into a Pond
produces a series of ripples in ever-
widening circles that stretch out and
out until they finally reach right up to
your own feet at the water's edge.
Every time you purchase something "Made in Canada" you
start a ripple of prosperity—reaching out in ever-widening circles,
through shopkeeper, wholesaler, manufacturer, farmer, right back
to yourself; for no matter what you yourself produce, what
occupation you are engaged in, your individual prosperity is
dependent on the general prosperity of the country—on keeping
every Canadian busy.
Dollars spent for Canadian-made goods help to do this; some
of the dollars spent for Canadian-made goods are bound to come
back to you—all of the dollars spent for imported goods are gone
—are starting a ripple in someone else's pond.

-'«   *    HAS MADE GOOD
n;Ip *the appointment of Hon. A. E.
Kemp to be minister of militia,  Sir
I Robert. Borden bus recognized that
Under the conditions which  exist at
| this, time—conditions which are essentially   different  to   those  which  pre-
| vailed during the first 18 months or
two years of tbe war—the prime need
of the department is a head who Is
■•fir^t ,of all a good buslnoss man with
I outstanding, business organization
abilities.   Tbe military knowledge and
| the enormous martial energy and enthusiasm which Sir Sam Hughes
hurled Into his work filled in 1914 and
1915 a need which at the end of 1916
Ss being filled by scores of military
officers who hnve received training in
Canada and Europe. To them Mr.
Ames can go for technical advice. He
Will be in the same position ns the
civilian head of the British wur office,
The new minister has made his
mark in the business world of Canada,
As a member of the cabinet without
portfolio he bas heen recognized as
one of tbe strongest members of tlio
government. His work as head of the
munitions purchasing commission in
Canada has accomplished such splen
did results that since be undertook it
Canada has been moro free from criticism of Its war purchases than any
other of the belligerent nations. It is
to he hoped that he will he able to re
tain supervision over the purchasing
board in addition to carrying on the
duties of Canada's minister of war,

would be to deprive the entente allies
of supplies of the metal, which until
the Canadian refinery is completed
can only be refined in thc United
States.
Germany has protested against its
envoys being thrown out of Greece on
the ground that It is a violation of
"international morality." And the
funny thing is that the people of the
nation which knows no morality that
stands in the way of the achievement
of its purpose believe it and feel virtuously indignant. Another lecture
from the chancellor on the morality
of tho "necessity" of "hacking a way
through," of murdering women and
children and of making slaves of Bel-
glan civilians should accompany the
protest against the expulsion of the
enemy ministers.

JvTf EMPT TO FORCE BREACH OF
TRUST WRONG
The Kltsllano board of arbitration
Will be well-advised If It makes no
further attempt to force a News-
Advertiser reporter to divulge the
source of Information published in
that newspaper. Lawyers, clergymen
nnd doctors are entitled lo withhold
certain information on tho ground of
privilege and no good reason has ever
been advanced for attempting to make
a newspaperman violate confidence
under similar conditions, Newspapermen before this have gone to jail
leather than prove false to the confidence reposed in them, and thoy will
unquestionably do so again rather
than lose the public trust which Is essentia] to their business as well as to
the maintenance of their honor. It is
about time that commissions ceased
to make or carry out threats of committal for contempt in such cases.
Their authority lo do so, In any event,
Is so doubtful as to be virtually nonexistent.
Of course, in this particular case It
may develop that the person who gave
the information to thc reporter will be
willing to have his name divulged. If
he Is, that will end the matter.
ONE ANGLE OF NAVAL
SUPREMACY
The fact that the entente nllies have
borrowed over $1,500,000,000 in the
"United States calls attention to one of
the less spectacular but none the less
vital achievements of tho British navy.
But for the control of the 'seas the
entente allies could borrow little If
any money In the United States. That
, point is driven home by tho figures of
enemy borrowings, which amount to
only  $20,000,000.
Borrowings In the United States
represent munitions of war ond supplies, without which the entente nations could not hope to bring the end
Of the struggle into sight.
Few of these loans would have been
■made if the United States financiers
had not realized that control of tho
•ea and-freedom of ocean commerce,
Which the navy hafl virtually guaranteed, adds-enormously to the financial
Strength of Great Britain. It Is the
chief factor In enabling Britain to
raise revenue to pay off millions of
her war debt as It is Incurred,
Under somo circumstances the only
place to find sympathy Is in the die
fionary.

We regret to learn that St. Pauls
cathedral was demolished in the
course of a zeppelin raid in October,
1U15. Tho authorities have naturally
been very reticent in the matter, but
It seems no longer possible to conceal

100 Per Cent Efficiency
Without saying much about it, Hon
Martin Barrel!, of the Dominion department of agriculture, is doing yeoman work for the farmers of Canada.
It is well that Canada has a White for
finance minister In this time of war,
nnd It is also well that a Burrell
stands at the head of the department
of agriculture. Both men are giving
tbe people 100 per cent efficiency Her
vice.—Calgary  Herald.
"Wo Who Survive"
The kaiser Is reported as beginning
a recent speech with the words; "We
who survive." But was it tactful to
remind the mere common food for
powder that tbe mon who are responsible for the whole course of the war
do for the most pari survive? It Is
the other fellows who meet death,
swift and merciful, or slow and agonizing, it Is the other men who are
blinded and mutilated and poisoned
by gas. Even a glimmer of a sense of
humor would have saved the kaiser
from—saving bis presence—making
himself ridiculous.—Ihirtford  Times

"WE- SHALL LIVE FOR EVER IN THE RESULTS
iOFOUR EFFORTS," WROTE HERO WHO
GLORIED IN DEATH FOR THE
CAUSE OF FREEDOM
Before giving his life to his country
Lieut. Eric Townsend wrote to his
parents ln London a letter which for
Its pure .patriotism and literary and
human qualities deserves to bo given a
permanent place in the literature of this
war. The letter is printed In the London Dally Mnll ahd Is reproduced below: ,
Sept. S, 1916.
Dearest Mother and Father:
You are reading this letter because I have gone under.
Of course I know you will be
terribly cut up, and that it will be
a long time before you get over it,
but' get over it you must. You
must be' imbued with the spirit of
the navy and thc army to "carry
on." - You will still have dear little
Donald, who Is safo at any rate for -
some while. If he should over-
have to go on active service I
somehow feel that his invariable
good luck will bring him through.
You must console yourselves
with the thought that I am happy,
whorfiaB If I bad lived — who
knows?
Remember the saying attributed
to Solon, "Call no man happy till
he Is dead." Thanks to your self-
sacrificing love and devotion I
have had a happy time all my life.
Death will have delivered me from
experiencing unhapplness.
It has always seemed to me a
very pitiful thing what little difference the disappearance of a
man makes to any institution,
even though he may have played
a very Important role. A moment's
regret, a moment's pause for readjustment, and another man steps
forward to enfry on, and the machine clanks onward wilh scarce a
check. The death of a leader of
tho nation is less even than a
seven days' wonder. To a very
small number It Is given to live in
history; their number is scarcely
one in ten millions. To the rest
it is only granted to live in their
united achievements. But for this
war I and all the others would
have passed Into oblivion like the
countless myriads before us. We
should have gone about our trifling
business, eating, drinking, sleeping,
hoping, marrying, giving in marriage, and finally dying with no
more achieved than when wo were
borfi, with the world no different
for our lives, Even the cattle in
the field fare no worse than this.
They, too, -eat, drink, sleep, bring
forth young, and die leaving the
world no different from what they
found it.
But we shall live for ever in the
results of our efforts.
We shall live %s those who by
their sacrifice won the Great War.
Our spirits and our memories shall
endure in the proud position Britain shall hdld in the future. Tho
measure of life is not its span but
tbe use made of It. I did not make
much use of my life before the
war, but I think I have done so
now.        v    *
One sometimes hears people say,
when a young man is killed, "Poor
fellow, cut off so early, without
ever having had a chance of knowing and enjoying life." But for
myself, thanks to all that both of
you have done, I have crowded
into twenty years enough pleasure,
sensations, and experiences for an
ordinnry lifetime. Never brilliant;
sometimes almost a failure in anything I undertook; my sympathies
and my Interests somehow or other—why I cannot tell—wero so
wide that there was scarcely an
amusement; an occupation, a feeling which I could not appreciate.
And as I have said, of most of
these T hnve tasted. T don't suppose I ever met anybody who was
not my superior in knowledge or
achievement In one particular subject; but there his knowledge and
his interest ended, whereas my
interests comprised nearly the
whole field of human affairs and
activities. And that is why it is no
hardship for me to leave the world
so young.
Well, I have talked a lot of rot
which must have given you great
pain to read and which will not
bring you much comfort. I had intended to try and say words of
comfort, but that scnicely being
possible, It has drifted Into a sort
of confession of faith.
To me has been given tho easier
task; to you Is given the more, difficult—that of living in sorrow/Be
of good courngo that at the end
you may give a good account.
Kiss Donnld for me.
Adieu, best of parents.—Your
loving son, ERIC.
I THE  WHINE   OF  THE   BEAST I
Humanity!    You dare to raise the cry
Whose hands yet drip wilh innocent
young blood,
Beneath   whose   heel   all   things  most
pure and high
Have ruthlessly been trodden in the
mud.
Honor and virtue, savagely defiled,
Unanswered   shriek  to  Heaven  for
redress,
And many-a mother and her unborn
child   * I,
Have died* to make a tale of fright-
fulness.
And   those,  our   splendid   sons,  who
fighting fell
Into your hands, what  tongue can
tell their state.
Without pollution in that seething hell
Of German vlleness and of German
hate?
Mattered and maimed nnd tortured dwy
by day, *
Cursed, spat upon, bound helpless to
the tree—
Smnll wonder If the thought that you
must pay-
Casts Its black shadow on the days
to be!
For now, at last, the reeking whip is
laid
Across the bully's shoulders in the
field,
And every yard of hard-won progress
made
Brings nearer yet the hour when you
must yield.
"Humanity!"    The nameless boast at
grips
With cruel fate knows yet a deeper
shame
In that It now with blanched and faltering lipp
falls blasphemy on that sacred name!
BRITAIN  HAS BIG GUNSNOW I
On the first occasion when he visited France, as minister of munitions,
Mr. Lloyd Georgo had an opportunity
of discussing artillery with French
artillerists, and he was greatly Impressed by the farsighted views of a
French expert, who told him thnt the
master stroke In the war wotftd come
from heavier guns. His alert mind
quickly grasped the situation, and on
his return to l^ondon he initiated the
program of manufacturing big guns of
the highest calibre. They have taken
a considerable time to turn out, although no time lias been lost; for In
the first place machinery for their
manufacture In this country did not
exist. But since production began,
progress has beon on a geometric
basis, and now tbe output of big guns
from this country Is ample, not only
to keep up supplies for our own army,
but lo help our allies.—London

I THE  HISTORY OF SHRAPNEL. J
*>■	
FREYCINET.
Charles Louis de Saulses de Freyoi-
net, who entered the French cabinet
last year as vice-president of the ministry and secretary of state, was born
SS years ago, on Nov. 14, 1828, at Folx,
in southern France. When the statesman of a future republic made his
mundane debut France was under the
Hourbon heel, with Charles X. trying
with might and main to wipe out the
memories and results of that greatest
of upheavals, the French revolution,
and its aftermath, the omplre of the
Corslcan, He failed, and when Freycl-
net was in his second year King
Charles was deposed and Louis Philippe of the House of Orleans began
his reign. Freyclnet was 18, and a student at the Ecole Poly technique, when
Egallte was forced to' abdicato his
throne, nnd tho second republic was
instituted, soon to be replaced by the
second empire of Napoleon 111, During
that period Freyclnet was for a time a
mining engineer in the government
employ, and later a builder of railways
and the manager of the Southern railway of France, He was prominent in
scientific circles and as early as 18R8
published a two-volume work on "Rational Mathematics," and a littlo later
"A Study of Infinitesimal Analysis."
In tho latter years of the second omplre ho was employed principally ln
studying ways and means of safeguarding the lives and health of workmen in the principal industries, In the
troubled period of the Franco-Prussian
war he was the associate and aid of
Gamhotta, and he holped in tho establishment of tho third republic. Asmin-
istor of public works in tho late "70s he
initiated the French system of government-owned railways, and in 1879 he
became premier of France. This was
the first of several times he held that
high post, and at other times he was
minister of foreign affairs and of war,
helping to effect the alliance between
France and Russia.
Although more than a century has
elapsed since shrapnel was first used
in warfare, this year marks tho
seml-cent.iiry of its flrut use on a
great scale as one of the most destructive and terrible of missiles.
Henry Shrapnel, an officer of the
British army, Invented shrapnel and
It has since boon given his name. It
was first used in war during the
bombnrdment of tho Dutch settlement of Suflnan In lSf-4. Shnimiel
were effective in winning several victories for the Knglish in Spain during
the Napoleonic war, and shrapnel
fire helped to rout the French at
Waterloo. In the Crimean war shrapnel was used not nt all by the Knglish, and very little hy the French.
The civil war in America did not
create any great demand for shrapnel shells, although the missile was
used by both the Novlh nnd South
to some extent. Up to this period
shrapnel, while offeiitiv-J on several
occasions, was not valued highly iiy
military experts. Tt was tho war between Prussia and Austria half a
century ago that brought shrapnel
Into Its own, The Prussians used
large quantities of shrapnel In
achieving their speedy victory over
the armies of Francis Joseph, and the
ordnance experts of Prussia thought
so highly of It that immense quantities wero made and used during the
Franco-Prussian war. Sedan was
largely a shrapnel victory, and everywhere the French were decimated
by these terrlblo shells. Since then
shrapnel has been one of the main
reliances of the artillery of all armies.
Its terrible destructlveness was
marked hy all the military observers
at tho front during the Russo-Japanese war. French field pieces firing
shrapnel were largely responsible for
the victories gained by the Balkan allies over tho Turks. In the present
war shrapnel shells have worked terrible execution, and tho missile invented by Henry Shrapnel, which was so
little appreciated ln his lifetime, now
perpetuates his name by piles of
corpses,

SERVIA,   UNCONQUERABLE,
Sorvia's army   in   its   approach to
Monastlr will carry tho hattlo to tho
gates or the Bulgarian    enemy.    The
Bulgarian and Grecian rulers betrayed
the other Balkan nations. The Servian
army that escaped from tho destruction of their -country's national existence will yet teach the Bulgarian traitors and the Toutonlc oppressors the
truth of the words—
And if we do but watch the hour,
There nover yet was human power
Which could evade, If unforgiven
The patient search and vigil long
Of him who treasuros up a wrong.
I SHIPOWNERS' PROFITS
I AND WORKERS^ WAGES
LONDON, England—In a letter to
the members of the Bollcrmarkers' society, Mr. John Hill says the advances
in wages since July, 1914, ainount to
less than 15 per cent on tho average,
but during the same period tbe average increased cost of living Is officially
stated at 45 per cent, the net result
being a reduction of 30 por cent In real
wages.
Does the nation need a sacrifice in
our homes at the present time? Mr.
Hills asks, adding lf it did, we would
give It cheerfully. The evidence In
favor of the sacrifice Is formidable,
but Is It true? Tho ships we build
have been sold again at prices 50o to
1000 per cent more than their cost of
construction in 1914. It ls therefore
quite clear that the shipowners are
not making any sacrifices. What next
about shipbuilding employers? They
are crying out in the press about the
hardships which are pressing on the
shareholders. I would give them all
the ,£ GO pianos which they say we
buy if that would make them hdppy
and content od in those hard times. I
would do all this on one condition,
namely, that they sive us the "pittance" which they now receive out of
the industry, and which causes them
to feel so keenly tlie effects of the
wnr.
Tako one shipbuilding company—
not the most profitable ono. On a capital of £300.000 this company made a
profit in ono year of wnr of over
£240,000. This is just about 70 per
cent. It has been well said that "Truth
lies at tho bottom of a well," -and nil
around that well we havo politicians,
exploiters and shareholders warning
us not to go near it or we shall surely
he drowned. I am sorry I cannot believe, as some people profess to do,
that we are all brothers now, duke's
son and cook's sou, all suffering and
working together in industry as In
war. We gave up our right to strike,
and in return we have boon maligned
hy faked figures supplied to the press
and to the government until even
some honest men look upon many of
us as a lazy mob, reveling In high
wages which we waste In useless
luxuries.
Tho governmont committee on fool
prices havo Issued their first report,
the committee has been true to the
traditions of royal commissions. They
havo sat a long while. Their duty was
.to find us bread, and they offer us a
stone. Their report is a confession of
fear and failure to get to the root of
the problem, and the cheerful exploiter
will put another halfpenny on the loaf
at once. On the milk question a candid farmer tells us that he could sell
his milk at Is. por gallon, and after
meeting all extra eosts for feeding
stuffs, etc., ho would have a handsome
profit, but he says his trade union
will not allow him to sell it at less
than ls. 3d. por gallon wholesale.
UNITED STATES SHIP

"Meat Prices Will Not
Come Down" isthe
cheerful news from the
Department of Agriculture.
Meat prices will not worry
the man or woman who
knows that a Shredded
Wheat Biscuit will supply
more real body-building
nutriment than beefsteak or
eggs and at much less cost.
Shredded Wheat remains the
same price, the same high
quality, supplying all the
nutriment a man needs for
a half-day's work. Two
shredded wheat biscuits with
peaches and cream or other
fruits make a complete,
nourishing meal at a cost of
not over five cents.'

GERMAN  MILK AND
CHEESE REGULATIONS
BERLIN, Germany—Tn view of the
scarcity of milk and fats, and of the
fact that In numerous communities
sufficient milk has not even been
available for young children nnd other
people specially in " need of it, the
German authorities have taken steps
to restrict the use of unskimmed
milk to a minimum throughout the
empire. It bas, therefore, been ordered
that unskimmed milk is to bo distributed only to children under six years
of nge, and to such people as can
produce a medical certificate showing their need of It. Among those
eligible for stub certificates are to oe
the poorer classes of tho population,
who nro to be supplied free of charge
as far as possible. In distributing
any quantities of unskimmed milk that
may still remain preference Is to bo
given to children between tho ages
of 7 and 14, but In their cnse thc
communal authorities may reduce
their fat ration to some extent ln
exchange. The latter authorities are
also empowered to use any superfluous
quantities of unskimmed milk for the
menls provided for school children.
Theso regulations will henceforth
apply to town and will be carried
out as fnr as possible In rurnl districts nlso, but the difficulty of regit
latlng consumption on the part of Ihe
producer Is obvious, and It Is recognized that tho matter will require
time and patience. The work will ho
mainly Intrusted to the communal authorities, who are to endeavor to secure tho maximum delivery of milk
from the farmers, who, on their pnrt.
aro hampered by tho shortage of
hands, and the necessity of employing women unaccustomed to tho work.
Thoy are to bo encouraged, however,
by means of a kind of premium sys
tern, nccordlng to which producers
With a good record will be ablo to ob
lain larger quantities of clover than
thoso whose deliveries of milk fall
below tho average.
Meanwhile Btops have also been
taken to regulate the salo of cheese,
which has latterly disappeared from
tho open market altogether, a
consequence of the practise adopted
by producers of sending cheeso
to individual customers by post,
and thus obtaining the retail price.
This proceeding is to bo prohibited for tho future, and at the
same time the price of various milk
cheeses is to be raised to correspond
with the higher price of milk, so that
farmers will bo encouraged to man-
ufneturo such goods.
Theso regulations, It Is stated, wore
absolutely necessary In order to secure
at least a minimum of unnklmmcd
milk for Industrial districts during tho
winter. It is hoped that It will subsequently ho possible to undertake the
regulation of tho distribution of
skimmed milk nlso, much of which Is
still being used for feeding cattle, and
that eventually everyone throughout
the empire >vllt bo In receipt of 90
grams of fat weekly.

APPOINTMENTS TO CANADIAN
STAFF   |N   ENGLAND   MADE
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Nov. 22.—Considerable
interest has been aroused here over
the announcement by cable of the appointment of the- overseas Canadian
military staff by Sir George Perley.
These appointments were all made
with the exception of two by Gen. Sir
Sam Hughes; but were not confirmed
by the government here. The chief
objections were against tiie appointment of Col, A. D. McRae as overseas
deputy minister.
In cable despatches, no mention is
made of tbc deputy minister, and apparently a choice hns not yet been
made. In some quarters it has been
suggested that Oen. Fiset, the deputy
minister at Ottawa, might go overseas
as deputy;
Tho othor appointment, whioh has
not been confirmed, is that nf Col. G.
I'. Murphy, who was made acting
iiuartermastcr-genenii. Tiiat position
has been glvou to Col. W. J. Neill.
Col. Murphy is ut present on Ills way
to Kngland. after a brief visit lo Ottawa to see his father, who lias been
seriously ill. One of tbo appointments
of Gen. Hughes which has been confirmed is that (.Of Major B, Green, a
son-in-law of the ex-minister of militia, as director of personal services.
This is a department which has to
deal wiili appointments and promotions.

JOIN MOW
Is Signed With Spokane But Transfer
Is  Expected— Millionaires'  Lineup
Nearly Complete.
(By Daily.News Leased Wlro.)
^VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 23.--Wlth
the arrival of Lloyd Cook, left wing
man of the Vancouver club, tbe Millionaires' hockey line-up '« complete
with the exception of Hugh Lehman,
who IS scheduled to report here on
Monday. Cook arrived yesterday afternoon just In time to jump into a uniform and take part in the afternoon
practise.
With the receipt of :i telegram yesterday afternoon from -Murray of
Sault Ste. Marie to the effect that the
Soo boy was unable tn come here for
a try-out, it was practically assured
thnt Ron McDonald, who is signed with
the Spokane team, will piny with the
Millionaires. McDonald hns been practising with tho local hockey crew and
hopes to line up In a terminal city
uniform when Seattle opens here
Dee. 2.
Frank Patrick himself was out for
a little air yesterday, but refuses to
say whether he will play this season
or not..
Nothing further bas been given out
on the Portland-Spokane squabble over
players and the matter is expected to
be settled satisfactorily.
DID NOT PAY TO
J
Lannin HacJ Hun in With  Magnate
Had to Sell Interest in Boston
Americans.
Josenh L. Lannin, who recently sold
his inferest In the Boston Amerlc
bnsehnll club, made a liberal and progressive owner during the threo years
ho was in possession of tbe predomi
nnting stoek in the club, but made one
mistake last season. He hnd a run in
with Ban Johnson, and observers are
dulck to point out that this was the
reason he bad to sell out to Frnzee and
Ward. He accused Americun league
umpires of throwing decisions against
his team, and followed this up by
claiming that a tip had beep given
■from somewhere.to the umpires to put
his club out of the running so as to
inject more interest into the American
race. He wub alone In his belief, apparently.
Lannln's charge against Johnson Was
exceedingly grave, "but Johnson passed
it up, for which he wos heartily panned
by baseball writers in general and
those ih the National league in particular; -When" JohHBon subsequcntly
eamo out' •fclth' a fanfare of trumpets
and. announced what he would have
done with John MeGrnw if John Mc-
Gmw had been an American leaguer,
because McGraw accused the Giants of
quitting to the Brooklyn Supcrbas, the
National -league writers very properly
wanted to know why Johnson had remained mute when attacked by Lannin. Johnson hnd no answer, and
went back to his cage.
But It must be handed to Johnson
thnt ho is a wonder at easing out of
the leagUo-men who run counter to his
policies. Whether it is a streak of
lucky coincidents, or whether he has
some -secret methed of active operation
is not known, but it is a faot that tho
man who gets in thoroughly Dutch
with Johnson -sooner or later finds It
convenient to sell,-says Price, in (he
Brooklyn Eagle.,
The most notable previous case wns
when FrniVk Farrell sold the New York
Americans. Prior to that he bad edged
George Stalllngs out of the management of the New York teaifi. Johnson
,-ilso brought about changes in the
ownership of the Washington club, and
out the skids under Joe Cautlllon a?*
manager pf Us..team.
Johnson   Omnipotent.
He was responsible for Jimmy Mc-
Aleer rind Robert' McRoy actually or
nominally supplanting John 1. Taylor
at. the head of the Boston club, and
when McRoy gratuitously Insulted tbe
Roval' rooters of Boston at the world'
series In 1912. ■ thereby bringing the
club Into -costly disfavor, Johnson
stirred about and "persuaded" thi
popular McAleer and McRoy to sell
out  to Lannin.
Lannin bucked Johnson this year,
not only In the matter of umoiren, but
in giving his chnmplons permission to
plnv exhibition games after tbe world's
series, contrary to thn rules of the National commission. B. was freely predicted that 1-rfinnin would find It convenient to sell out before long. The
nredlctlon hos come true with aston-
ishing suddenness. It's a groat league,
that American league.

■    > TO GROUSING PLAYERS
Barney Dreyfuss is peeved over the
dissatisfaction expressed by several of
his players with their jobs, and has
announced that he will give every
Pittsburg player who requests it his

Dreyfuss sent his players on a barnstorming tour after the close Of tho

JIM CORBETT HAS A
VERY GOOD  MEMORY
James J. Corbett was In a Fifth avenue. New York,'hotel recently, when
a little old Irishman made his way
through the crowd of Corbett admirers
find grabbing the once famous pugilist
•by the hand, sold:
"Say, don't you know me, Mr. Cor-
"hett?"
"Don't know that I remember yon,'"
replied Gentleman Jim.
"Well, you certainly ought to remember me—look again."
Corbett sized the fellow up critically
and could not place him.
"Why, Jim Corbett, I'm tho fellow
who sat back of your comer at Nev
Orleans 24 yours ago on Tuesday and
yelled at you, 'You're not Irish If you
don't lick him in the next round.' And
,you .lumped from your corner at the
sound of the bejl, and ytth a right
hand jolt khocnea Sullivan out and
became the champion of the world. I
always will believe that 1 made you
the champion."
"Say, 1 do remember some one yelling that nt mc," exclaimed Corbett,
"and by the way: It was just 24 years
ago that I knoofjcd out Sullivan and
became the new.ubiynplon."

Millionaire   Loses  $20,000   Pearls
John Battleliy Walts, a wealthy promoter and breakfast food manufacturer touring l>,vrope with his now
wife, loses partly through" carelessness
and more partly through foolishness
his wife's twenty-thousand-dollar
necklace.'
What did be do? He Immediately
bought her a dupllcnto for 20 cents,
expecting to have the other one in a
few days, and to his delight his wife
did not realize that she had been deceived. But, alas, they are to leave
for America and no troce of the string
of pearls! What would you do to
prevent the customs Inspectors from
disclosing Iho false jewels lo your

to tho scene. As Phillip Borden he Is
supposed to manage a steol foundry
and he sits before a large desk in an
office with his name on the door, but
,ho never would lie mistaken for a business man. At this club, In the theatre where he goes to admire the pretty

8HIPMENT8 OF ANTHRACITE
LESS THAN YEAR AGO
PHILADELPHIA, Pn—While statistics prepared by tho Anthracite Bureau of Information show a decrease
in Anthracite shipments for the month
qf October, this year, ns compared
with the same month last year, the
October shipments, 1910, are larger
than the shipments for September this
year. According to the information
gathered the shipments for last
month as reported by the bureau are
5,870,204 tons. In October 1915 the
shipments were 6,663,007 tons. In
September 1916 the shipments are re
ported ns 5,544,706 tons.
Attention is caltcd to the fact that
shipments in Ootober 1916, were the
maximum for the region, tho nearest
approach to that record having been
mado in October, 1912, when 6,655,321
tons were shipped.
The total shipments for tho ten
months of 1916 ending with Nov. 1,
wero 58,800,620 tons, a gain as compared with tho same period 1915 of
560,373 tons. Part of the bureau's re
port follows: "ln comparing the total
shipments from January to October in
1916 with thoso for tho same period
in 1915, consideration must be given
to tho fact that, iu addition to thc Increase of 560,673 tons, tbe markets
have absorbed a large amount of coal
that was In storage at the beginning
of the season. The shipments from
storage yards in October amounted to
approximately 500,000 tons, which are
not Included In the railroad shipments
reported for the month and reduce by
that amount the apparent shortage as
compared with October, 1915.
"The net decrease of 300,000 tons
could undoubtedly have been up if It
were not for the Interference with op
orations due to hutton strikes, nonleg
al holidays, etc."
Bert Nnnceuiveii, farmer of Dere
ham township, lost his barn by fire
which followed a mysterious explosion; loss $4000.
Tbe above represents the number of years spent in fruitless efforts to cure a bad case of eczema
with ordinnry ointments, compared with the time It took Zam-
Buk to effect a complete and permanent cure.
This was thc experience of Mr.
H. C. Buckley of 461 East Broadway. Portland, Ore. Writing to
the Zam-Buk Co., he says: "For
fifteen years 1 suffered with a bad
case of eczema.and used all kinds
of so-called "cures" and treatments, but nothing was capable
of curing me until 1 tried Zam-
Buk. This wonderful balm, however, completely cured me In less
than a year, and not only so, but
I have had no return of thc disease. I strongly recommend Zam-
Buk. to anyone afflicted as I was."
This is but one of thc hundreds
of cases where Zam-Buk has effected a cure when everything
else failed. The reason Is easily
explained. Zam-Buk being unusually refined—containing absolutely so animal fats or mineral
drugs such as are contained in
ordinary ointments—is capable of
penetrating to the underlying
tissues where skin diseases have
their roots. Ordinary ointments,
on the contrary, never get beyond
the surface skin and so arc incap.
able of effecting permanent cures.
Zam-Buk is just as good for
salt rheum, ringworm, boils, ulcers, abscesses, blood-poisoning,
piles, cuts, burns, scalds and ill

Beauty's Infant Son Likely to Inherit
Great Wealth of Lord Gerard Whose
Ancestors  Include  Martyr
LONDON.—In these days when the
toll of human life Is so heavy, a baby,
particularly a baby boy, gets a
heartier welcome than perhaps ever
before in England. And nowhere more
so than In titled families where the
"little stranger" may be the eventual'
bearer of an historic name and even
save the line from extinction.
The latest society woman to present
her husband with a son and heir is'
Mrs. Charles Gerard, whose luiBband
Is the eldest son of Hon. Robert J.
Gernrd-Dicconson, who, Jn turn, is
heir-presumptive to Baron Gerard.
Previous to her marriage, Mrs. Gerard,
who is exceedingly pretty, was Miss
Aimee Clarke. She is the youngest
daughter of Sir Rupert Clarke and
Lady Philip Grey Egerton, her father
being the second baronet of Ruperts
wood, Victoria, Australia, anil her
mother the daughter of a Tasmanlan
magnate. The present Lady Grey
Egerton obtained a divorce and eventually married Sir Philip Grey Egerton, whose first marriage, meanwhile,
had also beea dissolved. This latter
baronet Is tbe twelfth of his line.
Ancestor Was a Martyr
Lord Gerard, to whose title and estates his pretty cousin's infant son has
quite a fair chance of succeeding, Is
exceedingly rich, and is head of one
of the oldest nnd most Important of
English Roman Catholic families. At
32, he is without a son, but has-two
daughters. Ills family history is one
of the most picturesque ones tn British annals. The family line goes back
beyond the conquest to the time of
Edward the Confessor, when Domlnus
Otherus possessed several lordships In
Middlesex, Hunts, and Berks. Rather
than relinquish his Roman Catholic
faith, a member of the family suffered
martyrdom. This was Father Edmund
Arrowsmlth, whose mother was a
Gerard. Ho was charged'at the Lan
caster assizes in 1628, first with being a priest nnd a Jesuit, and secondly
with being a "persuader" in religion—
i. c, prevailing upon persons to abjure the Protestant and to espouse the
Romnn Catholic faith. He was convicted and condemned to be drawn on
a hurdle to thc place of execution,
then to be hanged, drawn and quartered. A "Rev. Mr. Leigh," who was
to follow him on the scaffold, asked
htm to save his life by conforming to
tho Protestant religion, but tho martyr replied, "I will do It In no such
case and on no such conditions."
leather Arrowsmlth desired his spiritual attendant to cut off his right hand,
which should then have the power to
work miraculous cure on those who
bad faith to believe in its efflcucy,
Tho hand of the martyr was cut off
after his death and transferred to
Ash ton, and hundreds of people up to,
comparatively recent years visited thc
place to have it applied as a remedy
for their diseases. The Emperor
Napoleon II, was once a guest at one
of Lord Gerard's residences, Garswood,
Lancashire, and the rooms he occupied nre furnished in mahogany and
upholstered in crimson. The King and
Queen hnve also been to Garswood
Hail. The Queen, when Princess of
Wales, paid a private visit to see the
pictures of members of tho Gerard
family.
Heir to Bradley Martin Millions
It Is now possible to disclose some
interesting details in connection with
the romantic marriage of Viscount
Ufflngton, Lord Craven's 19-year-old
son and heir, tn the pretty daughtcr-
exaclly his own age—of the town clerk
of Ihvergordon, Miss Willi el mlna Mary
George. When the young viscount,
who is a. second lieutenant in the
Hampshire regiment, telegraphed his
father that ho had quietly married
Miss George, of whose existence the
oar], had previously been unaware,
Lord Craven at once invited them to
Home and stay at his town residence.
Lord Craven then wired the news in
a very laconic telegram to the bride's
father, who replied expressing his sur-
prise, and nlso conveying his forgiveness, together with the usual wishes
tor the future happiness of the young
couple. Lady Ufflngton hns now relumed to her parents, while her lord
nnd master is back agnln "somewhere
in Prance."
The young couple had first met a
few weeks before at a ball at Strath-
Defter, Lord Ufflngton Is heir not
only to the earldom of Craven, but also
to the Bradley-Martin millions, estimated at at least 10 in dollars. So
that the young lady from. Invergordon
has made what tlie Into, John Brown,
Queen Victoria's servant, described as
"ii verm fine land In"' (when Prince
Henry of Hnttenberg's engagement to
Princess Beatrice was announced).
She has snatched one of ,the most,
eligible aristocratic parties from tho
matrimonial arena of London society.

■ But I started to write about the gal-
land and good looking young earl, who
Is only 24. In pre-war days a member
of tho Scots Guards, he was a lieutenant in t'he general reserve at the beginning of tho fighting, and is now in
the Welsh Guards. On coming Into
the title when he was only seven, he
inherited a Welsh estate of something
Jlke 42,801) acres. The manor and seat
of Crosswood, Aberystwyth, have heen
ln the possession of bis family since
1200 which is, according to Burke, almost an unparalleled length of undisturbed possession. Never have tho
seat and estate been alienated or, It
is believed, ceased to be occupied by
the possessors. The family stands In
the front rank of ancient Cymric
houses, Its pedigree coming down by
well ascertained steps of descent from
,the famous founder of tbe fifth noble
tribe of Wales. He was Collwyn ap
Tangno, but whether, as ont! might
■'fancy, he wns a devotee of the dance,
Is not on record. The earldom was
created ln the year of 1776.
.' "Not Responsible" for Son's Debts
The proverb, "like father, like son,"
appears to be working out In the cases
of certain Interesting young lordlings.
We all know of tho proud record of
-Lord Rosslyn, who once was on the
stage, who has been divorced twice,
nnd who, at various times, has been an
"editor," war correspondent, soldier
and would-be breaker of the Monte
Carlo bank. His son, Lord Loughborough, who is only 24, made a promising start on  the  matrimonial road
by marrying, after a singularly brief
acquaintance, a pretty Australian girl
whom he met while soldiering in
Egypt.
Patti  Nursing Wounded
Madame Patti who hus wounded soldiers at her beautiful castle, Craig-y-
Nos, Jn South Breconshlre, is devoting
herself to nursing them and generally
looking after their comfort. The winter garden ls kept full of exquisite
flowers. The castle contains a miniature theatre and splendid rooms
overlooking the valley.
Pretty Countess' Wedding
Countess Nada Torby, daughter of
the Grand Duke Michael of Russia,
and Prince George of Battenberg,
whose father, Prince Louis, was first
sea lord when the war began, will report says, have a November wedding,
though tho actual dato is not yet fixed. It is not generally known that
Nada is an abbreviated name. The
elder of the two countesses, Zla, now
four-and-twenty, was christened
Anastosie Klkhaeleoua, but us a name
of this length would bc cumbersome
she ls known as Countess Zla. Similarly her twenty-year-old sister Nada
(a pretty brunette and a marked contrast to Zla, who is very fair) is
Countess  Nadejeda Miklaeleonn.
The bride-to-be has received some
beautiful wedding presents from her
Russian friends and relatives, including a tiara in Boyar style, furs and
table linen made by the peasantry.
Lpte all Russian brides, she is having
a large trousseau. Prince George of
Battenberg has been attached to the
naval base at Rosyth, and it is expected the couple will take a residence
near Edinburgh.
Mrs. Cook, a resident of Heath district, ten miles west of Wulnwrigbt,
is in the hospital at Edmonton in a
serious condition, and Mrs. Kimball, an
inmate of the same house is dead, as
thc result of a coal oil explosion.

It  Is  Feared  That Name  on  Casualty
List Is That of Former Manager
of The Dally News.
Lieut. W. G. Foster, with next of kin
at Halifnx is given among the killed in
tho casually lists published this morning. It is possible that this is W. Garland Foster, former manager of The
Dally News.
Mrs. Foster is in England, but she
spent some time in Halifax nnd she
may still appear on the war office records as residing there.
Foster went to tlie front as captain
and quartermaster of his battalion. The
difference In r:ink might be due to the
fact that heavy casualties among the
officers of his unit resulted in his
taking command in a company, in
which event he would be reported In
the lists as a lieutenant.
As no relatives who would be officially notified live in tbe west the
matter will be open to speculation until the fear that tbe former Dally News
man Is killed is confirmed or removed
by mall advices.

"Ikey" Humphrey of Nelson Doing His
Bit for Empire But Eager to
Get to  France.
"W. A. Ward has received the following letter from U W. Humphrey,
formerly a Canadian Pacific railway
engineer working out of Nelson, who
enlisted with the 54th battalion. "Ikey"
Is now with the Canadian overseas
railway construction company at Newcastle -pn-Tyne where he has been
since last March:
"Well, Bill, I am still alive and In
the vory pink of health and although
I have tried hard to get to France, as
yet It has not been my fortune to do
so.. I am still with the C.O.R.-C.C. and
we are doing work here at Newcastle
for the government and although wo
are all anxious to get to France they
say we are doing work that Is more
important to them here in England
than by sending us to France. We
have been warned several times to go
but have been cancelled again. It
hardly seems possible tiiat I have been
in England a year and it has passed
away very quickly. I have put in lots
of hard days drilling and working and
am not afraid of going up against any
hardships. We have also had lots of
good times In the meantime and espeel
ally here, as it is some town. We have
every evening to ourselves and you
should hear how I can throw out tho
Tyneside talk.
'I have not heard much news from
Nelson for months and have not seen
The Nelson Daily News since I came
up here in March, A good many of the
boys have "gone west** and wounded,
as i suppose you know. 1 have a visit
for a few days from Ernie Kinahan.
He was just out of hospital after being wounded, but was getting alone
all rig*ht. Con. Harkness is In hospital in France, but do not know whether
It is sickness or wounded. I had a
letter from Con beforo he went into
hospital and he had seen the old 64th
boys and mentioned Bob McTavlsh and
Art Bush. Bert Beer Is here with us
and wants to be remembered to all.
"I am figuring on taking a trip to
Ireland and Wales about Christmas
time if I am not sent to France, and
if I do not go before I go to France
I am afraid I will not have a chance
after. Please remember me lo all tlie
boys and Nelson people and I can
tell you many times I think of good
old Nelson and its people."

Tribute Paid to Nelson Officer by Pte.
T. K. Macleod of Nelson, Who Is
in Hospital in England.
'If over there was a man who showed
himself to be every inch a man the
night we hnd the mix-up, it was Lieut.
Donald McQuaiTio," writes Pte. T. K.
Macleod of Nelson In a letter to D,
St. Denis, from a military hospital in
Endell street, London, W„ where ho is
confined with Injuries to the knee received lu action about two months
ngo.
Speaking of Lieut. McQuarrie he
says; "He deserves the D.S.O. for the
work he did that night among the
wounded. Here U one boy who would
go anywhere with him and I know his
scout section feels the same way."
Pte, Macleod states that tho medical
authorities sny that owing to thc tendon at thc side of his knee having
been shot away, he will bc unfit for
further active service and therefore
hopes lo be able to return to Nelson
ln tlu- spring, He pays high tribute
to the treatment ho has received ln tho
hospitals In Franco and England.
WAR FOR TRADE
WHEN PEACE COMES
Writing on what he culls "Tho War
After the War," Isaac F. Marcosson
warns the readers of thc Saturday
Evening Post that it ls a war in
which the United States cannot remain
neutral. It will be a war lor the trado
of tho world, the great reconstruction
effort of the belligerent nations to retrieve some of their glguntle. losses.
Already commercial treaties and arrangements have been made among
the entente allies which provide for thc
"most favored nation" treatment
among them; and thc central powers
arc supposed lo have a similar understanding among themselves. After tho
war is over tho trade war will begin.
it will not be necessary for one group
of former belligerents lo specltically
make tariffs against thc other ur Impose restrictions. Hy giving themselves favorable treatment they automatically discriminate against thoso
not on this footing. Nobody, will suppose for instance, that when this war
is over the Uniled States will enjoy
the same standing in thc British and
French markets as Canada and Australia, Therefore the United States
becomes involved In thc war after tho
war.
The American Position.
Similarly it is unlikely that thc
manufacturer of American goods will
be permitted lo compete on oven
terms with the German manufacturer
In Austria, for example, unless lhe
present war should bc followed by a
revolution that will disrupt tho present
relations between the Central powers.
The United States therefore, Is likely
to find Itself discriminated against by
both groups of belligerents, uf course,
the United States cun retaliate by
tariffs that will keep non-American
goods out of the country, but this will
not solve the problem of her foreign
trade, which is absolutely necessary if
she Is to malntuln her present position
among the great commercial nations
of the world. She Is likely to find, too,
that the war has unfitted her to become tho keen competitor of Europe.
Tho war demands for American commodities, suys Mr. Marcosson, paid for
with gold, have raised the cost of
production and it will stay up.
Britain  in Training.
On the other hand, the experience
of thc war has put Britain In training
for the ( war after the war. Tho
"speeding up" method has been accepted) The unions have abandoned
their restriction upon output and they
are likely to find that this is an advantage to them and not tbe peril
they supposed it. Women havo become skilled workers to the number
of hundreds of thousands. They are
nol going to be turned put of their
Jobs after the war. They have become u permanent part of llritatn's
Industrial army. The writer says that

Britain. The old ways will never bc

A Supremacy Tossed Away.
England has at last wakened up.
Mr, Marcosson suys that 30 years ugo
sho was* the workshop of the world.
Her goods were carried to every port
by her ships, but, convinced that her
supremacy could never be successfully challenged, she relaxed her efforts
and was content to adopt a Make It
or leavo it." tone witli her foreign customers, ln the meantime the initiative
and adaptive GermanH were freely
welcomed. They served their apprenticeship in English factories and took
home the socrels of British arts and
crafts. Those thoy harnessed to cheap
labor, and, backed by the German government, presently were able lo mako
goods in Germany more cheaply than
they could bo made In England.
Death of Free Trade,
Joined to her free trade idols Britain
saw no peril to this development.
Thanks to her shipping Industry, she
was able to make great profits by Importing German articles and re-exporting them in her own ships. Some of
her Mad Mullahs of free trade insisted
that Germany was gradually ruining
herself by making goods so cheap, and
It was not until lhe war came that thu
peoplo realized the position. Mr. Marcosson says, however, that lhe awakening was a thorough one. British
men and women showed thnt they had
not lost the old qualities which a gen-
