SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT OTTAWA, Juno 1.—Progress Ir be ing made in arriving at a settlement of the strike at Lethbridge. Robertson Gives Interview WINNIPEG, June 1 (Via Thief River Falls, Minn,).—Before leaving for tlio east this morning the minister of labor, Senator Gideon Robertson, who has been hero for ten days taking an active part In tbe general strike, gave out an interview lo the press, in which he very definitely stated the position of the government. "The . promoters of the general strike in Winnipeg now Hit In the ashes of their folly. In responding to the call to strike n ' majority violated and repudiated their obligations to their own trades unions and to their employers, individually ami collectively they wilfully discarded their agreements, indicating that the possession of what they are contending for is of llttlo value. Labor leaders who advocate that might in right, who hold that law, justice and honor should be discarded at will, merit and receive tlio condemnation of good citizens. In u general sympathetic strike the force is directed against the whole community, who are innocent of any responsibility for thu offense. Public indignation is Immediately aroused because of the inconvenience, loss and suffering imposed upon Innocent peopl.e Therefore, sympathetic strikes must, fail. Socialism has long recognized that trades unionism is an impossible In to Its revolutionary progress, and seeks through the One Big Union movement to undermine and destroy the labor organizations whose policies ure to regard its obligation as sacred and inviolution. Not Organized Labor "Employ era (must not mistake the defeat of the genoral sympathetic strike as a defeat for organized labor. On the contrary, labor will emerge from the conflict strengthened from the wisdom gained from Its experience. Numerous strong labor organizations have by their votes and actions largely contributed to the outcome because they believed the general sympathetic strike Ih wrong, vicious and demoralizing. Employers should seek to deal justly and at this time liberally with their workmen and thus assist the bona fide labor unions in their legitimate efforts to obtain v. reasonable competence for all who ai'e willing to labor." .Senator Robertson's attention hav- has been drawn to the fact that efforts are now being made by the strike leaders to spread the idea thai this is not a mere strike, but a revi lutlon. "Sir. Robertson said be had no doubt ihey were beginning to climb down. He had nothing more to say. however, with reference to the cause of the trouble than he had staled in his message to the mayor uj Cal gary, which set forth that: "Events have proved conclusively that the motive behind the striki was for the purpose of assuming control and direction of Industrial affairs, also municipal, provincial and federal activities so far as they yere1 carrier! on in the city, and with the avowed intention of evtending it to a wider field." Ultimatum to Strikers Saturday morning the general offices of the railways having head**' quarters in Winnipeg Issued a statement to all employees on strike, giving them until Monday at 10 o'clock to return to work and, fulling to do so, their places will be filled. It is understood tbat it is the intention of the railways to accept applications from reurned soldiers as rapidly ns possible lo fill the places and offer them permanent positions. An entirely new phase of the ger-eral striko situation was injected Satiiivl.iy, when R. A. Rlgg, former secretary of the trado and labor council, a labor member of the Manitoba legislature, and just ro- turned from overseas, made a public statement that neither the Winnipeg trades council nor any other trades council in Canada has any authority to order a general strike. He asserted that the trades council is entirely a voluntary organization, whose charter is granted by the Trades Congress of Canada, and Its charter gives it no such authority. Indications Are That Vancouver Will Not Have General Walkout. VANCOUVER, June 1.—In accordance with the will of the central labor council trades unions here tonight are completing their balloting on theques- tlon of u general strike. Several unions, among them the commercial telegraphers, are not voting. Teamsters and chauffeurs have voted threo to one against a strike, while tli*1 musicians also have voted two to one against taking any action. Boilermakers have voted heavily In favor of a strike, while firemen have declared their unwillingness to vote In favor of a strike at this time. It Is understood tnat the street mil- way men have voted against going on strike. The completion of the ballot will not be available until .Monday morning. Tuesday, June 3, Ik set as the dale when the strike will take effect, pro vullng a muv-jflty of the unions si will It. At the present lime it would not appear that the strike will become general. Vote at Victoria VICTORIA, June 1.—While the Victoria public is preparing itself for at least a partial tie-up of industry early next week, voting on the question of a strike in sympathy with the Winnipeg strikers is proceeding. Practically no developments of importance have taken place within the last H hpijr's. Two delegates from tbe Winnipeg strikers. Messrs, EI rich and Rogers, arrived In lho city Saturday afternoon, and addressed the postal workers. They will meet the executive of the trades and labor council during their stay bore. "If thero is a strike." E. E. Woodward, president of the trades and lagor council, said: "unquestionably the responsible1 committee will enjoin everyone to keep the peace." "The municipal authorities will see to It if there' is a strike that order is maintained," declared Mayor Porter. "They will do their duty and they will not abrogate that authority. The unions are at liberty to urge their members o be orderly, hut the municipal authorities will certainly seo that order is maintained."

Keen Interest in Flight There was wonderful interest in the flight, although it was eclipsed ly thc previous flights of this seaplane, for in the opinion of the American naval ofifcors and the British public gener- lly the NC--1 reached the peak of her greatest achievement when she spanned the Atlantic at Lisbon. The prldo felt by thc Americans in tho extraordinary feat of the NC-4 found echo tonight in genuine admiration expressed by British naval men and airmen for the crow's skill and pluck and the well worked-out plans of tho American navy to facilitate and safeguard ibe flight. Early in the morning when word was flashed that the NC-4 had start- | ed on the final leg of her journey, a ! heavy rain was falling, but shortly after noon the skies cleared and ideal conditions prevailed. The NC-4 flew in rain and fog through the Bay of Biscay and the fog also was encountered off Brest, compelling the plane to keep at a low altitude.

ALMOST BLIND FROM HEADACHES It is hard to struggle along with a head that aches and pains all the time. Headache seems habitual with many people; indeed, some are seldom, if ever, freo from it, suffering continually, and wondering why they can get no relief. In nine cases out of ten, persistent headaches are duo to poisoned blood, the blood being rendered impure through some derangement of the stomach, liver or bowels. The reason Burdock Blood Bitters makes permanent cures of all cases of headache, is because it starts the organs of elimination acting freely, and the poisons and Impurities are carried off from the system, purified blood circulates In the brain cells and Instead of pains and aches there is revived mentality and bodily vigor. Mrs. Geo Monck, Arden, Ont., writes* 'I have been troubled a great deal with sick headaches, and at times would almost gOvbllnd, and have to go to bed. I tried different kinds of medicine without any benefit until I was» advised to use Burdock Blood Bitters. After taking'.It I have not beep troubled since." B. B. B.

June 1.—Howard Wilcox of Indianapolis, on Saturday won the seventh annual international sweepstakes race of 500 miles at the motor speedway, his time being 5:44: 21:75. libs average speed was 87.12 miles an hour. One driver, Arthur Thurinan, was killed in a spill, and Louis Lecocq and a mechanician. R, Baudini, were burned to death and two others were injured, As a result of his victory, Wilcox wins a prize of $20,000. Fifty thousand dollars was divided among the first 10 drivers. The other prize winners finished In the order named: 11 earne, Goux, Guyot, Alley, DePalma, L, Chevrolet, I), lllckey, G. -Chevrolet and Thomas. The time and average speed an hour nf the others follows: Hearne, f).46.16:06; 86.64 miles, Goux, 5:50,49:90; 85.51 miles.' Albert Guyot, 6:53:33:65; 8LS5 miles. Alley, 6:06:54:83; SI.20 miles. Iiel'ahua, 6:10:10:92; 81.04 miles. Others finishing among the first 10 were: Seventh, L. Chevrolet, time, 0:11:40:33; eighth, D, Hickey, time, 6:14:38:62; ninth, G, Chevrolet, time, 6:15:14:88; tenth, Reno Thomas, time, G: 25.1.7. Wilcox and Guyot were team mates. Wilcox assumed the lead as the contest approached the half-way mark, and drove consistently throughout, Ho had two stops, once for a tire change and once to take on gasoline, oil, water and to repair a loose steering knuckle. His average was 87.12 miles an hour. DePalma Shatters Records All records for the Indianapolis speedway were shattered by Ralph DePalma fin- the first 200 miles, Long stays in the pits, however, put him almost entirely out of the running and It only was by terrific speed that he managed to nose L. Chevrolet out of sixth pluce. Arthur Thurinan, driving a ear he had reassembled himself, was killed when his machine turned over the ba.ck stretch before thc race had progressed 250 miles. He was dead when found. His mechanician ceived a fractured skull and was rushed to a hospital, where ho was operated on. Two Burned to Death Louis Lecocq and his assistant, It. Banditti, were burned to death when their car turned over and caught fire on the north turn. Tbe machine rolled over three times before it stopped, pinning both driver and mechanician under it. The sliowing of several Frenchmen, made favorites at the start because of their sensational work in practice, was a disappointment to a crowd of 125,000. The terrific pace at the start, however, in which they were consistently among Ihe leaders, resulted in many stops. Wilcox has partaken in evtry 500- mile race held at tbe Indianapolis speedway. It was his first victory, however. Of the six half-thousand mile grinds—one of the international sweepstakes, was for a distance of ,100-—three local drivers have finished first. Ray llarroiui won iu BUI and Joe Dawson in 1912. Race Stirs Crowd The race was oue of the most sen sallonal ever held here. Broken steering knuckles, the loss of wheels, two cars overturning without serious injury, and the loss of exhaust pipes kept the crowd on edges. The el irlea] timing device was broken when one car, putting in minus a front wheel, caught the wire and tore It Irom Its connection. At no time was the field strung out, not more than two minutes separating the winner and the second man. The remainder of the field was proportionately bunched. Start Under Sweltering Sun The race started under a sweltering sun at 11 o'clock this morning. DePalma led at the first 100 miles, -Bablot was second and L. Chevrolet third. G. Chevrolet was fourth. All .previous records of the speedway for that distance was broken, the average speed being 92.70 miles an hour. G. Chevrolet Stops at Pit At 200 miles G. Chevrolet had to stop at the pits and changed from first to third position. DePalma took the lead hy the change, with Wilcox Others in order were L. IS. Cooper, Lecocq and 1st, B.

Wilcox still led by about two laps at 475 miles. Hearne was second. With less than 25 miles to go Wilcox maintained his lead of two laps, and Hearne, In second place, led Gonx in third by threo laps. Arthur Thurman's car turned over on the north turn on the 44th lap. Covered With Flaming Oil Leeoeq's car caught fire while rounding the southeast turn of thu track. Both men burned for five minutes before guards anil spectators extinguished the flames. The burning gas spread over the track and several of the speeding cars were compelled to dash through the blaze. The accident was one of the most serious in the history of the track. Itablot's ear, driven by J. Cbas- sagne, his relief driver, turned over. A. Romigulre, mechanician, was injured seriously. Chassague was only hurt slightly. Thurman, the driver killed shortly before the turning over of Bablot's car, was from Newark, N.J. It was his first race on a brick track. Various difficulties put the cars driven by Durrani and Klein out of tho race also, After the accident to Lecocn's car the speed became slower. The time for 325 miles was 3:27:07:10, or an average of 813.HI miles an hour. Contestants and Cars The racers and their cars follow: — Rene Thomas, Ballot, L. Chevrolet, Frontonao, L. Wagner, Ballot.

Romano GERMAN GOVERNMENT FEARS TROUBLE IN CAPITAL CITY BERLIN, June 1.-—The government apparently anticipates trouble in Berlin in the near future, for the minister of defence, Gist/ Noske, has tightened up the s-^w.-* on martial law under wh'cl. the city still lives. It was announced last night that the minister realized the orovjB'ci*1.'! cf tho law go sa far as to pi*-mit demonstrations against the peaco terms, public meetings and par* p.cles. But he considers that this had been abundantly accomplished and now forbids not only public gatherings but even private, meetings indoors unless permission is given. The ostensible reason for this '■ tnat many meetings called, presumably for protest purposes, have developed into meetings dangerous to the government and agitation for uprisings.

WAR TRIUMPHS OF BRITI8H SECRET 8ERVICE Some day perhaps Mr. Basil Thorn son will write the romance of the wonderful Intelligence System in Great Britain, of whieh he has just been appointed director, says tho Toronto Telegram. It would be story teeming with sensational episodes, of thrills and triumphs, mystery and adventure, Ten years ago the special brunch was little moro than an obscure off shoot of the criminal investigation department, Scotland Yard.

Rounded Up Enemies To the special branch was en trusted the task of roynding up all tho enemy aliens and undesirables ln thc country This work was carried out-with the maximum of efficiency and thoroughness, and in less than a week every detention camp in England was crowded with Ger mtins and Austvians. .But a grave evil htid to be eoimuorod. Desperate espionage plots wero afoot. Gor many's secret service agents began to creep into England in a Variety of disguises. They came from many lands, from Middle Europe, from the Scandinavian countries, from tho East and from far-off South America. Spies Had Small Chance The special branch, co-operating with the Admiralty and the War Office, drow an invisble cordon round the kaiser's spies, aud ono by ono they were accounted for. From the moment a German agent set foot on English soil his every movement was watched day and night, of tho hundreds who reached London, few if any ever returned. It is on record that not a single German spy of any importance succeeded in leaving England, and, what is still more gratifying, no naval or military information of any value was ever transmitted to the German government. British brains triumphed over Ber Iin bluff, and the special branch com pletely exploded the so-called Herman secret service.

MINING TRUTH SPOKANE, WA8H. 1 NEW DISTRICT ASSOCIATION , More than 300 teachers ln thcl Kootenay nnil Boundary district have joined be Kootenay and P.oundury! Tenclii-i-s' itssoeiiitlon. Tlie movement was started only eiuite recently in Nelson, und the speed with which the teachers are joining up is considered eiuite gratifying by the executive committee which has the eerganl zee tlon ol the new association in charge. A circular was recently sent out tu the teachers ot thc district, setting forth the purposes eef the association and urging them to join. .The .Uwehers are warned against thc ejld practice of bidding for positions. VA sense of honor rceiuires Hint great care should at nil times be taken to avoid under bidding.*', The first annual meeting of tlio association will be held at Cranbrook next Easter. The association will lie affillateel with the B.C. Teachers' federation. Circular to Boards Another circular was sent to tho school boards of the district. It contains a statement to thc effect thut the association lias no intention to protect inefficiency, and that it wishes to avoid any action which might tend to spread discontent. After reviewing the advance In tho cost of living, the circular makes a definite reipicst for an advance in salaries. It asks that in caso the advance cannot be granted that the boards make a elefinite statement to that effect, . The eiiTular also deprecates the old practieo of certain school boards of asking teachers to bid against each otliers for jobs, Instead of offering a definite salary. The circular to tlie teachers reads: Circular to Teachers Teachers representing Michel, Per nie, Criinbrbok; Rossland. Trail, Rev, elstoke, Grand Forks, Now D«nver, Silverton, Kllslo, 'Creston and other points, recently met in Nelson and organized the Kootenay and Boundary Teachers* association. To improve the status of the teach ers' profession, which is one of the objects of the association, a higher remuneration for services is required, A recent official estimate places tho recent increase in the cost of living In tlie last five years at 78 per cent, Every teacher who has not received an increase in salary proportionate to the advance ht living expenses Is in a worse position, than he was at that time. Since the war is,now over some, effort should be made to, re store the proper Balance. If nothing is dono at thc prtsint time, the apparent approval of existing condi tions, or of some slight change, will make future complete adjustment more difficult. Every person who gives honest and effective service is asserting nothing more than dinury self-respect if he actively endeavors to make good his • claim to considerably, more than a mere living wage, lie who would reply that the country cannot afford this does not give evidence! ot ordinary serious ness, and candor. What Can Bo Done Though a binding agreement among all teachers to c?(act a certain specified rale of increase is for various reasems at present not practicable, yet thero arc sonic tlifiigs that can now be done. Tho executive committee is forwarding to all school boards in the Kootenay and Boundary .district a circular, a copy of which is enclosed. Tills contains a definite request for a really large increase as compared with thc salary scale In 1911. Wc beljovo that this will be cphsldored fair and reasonable. If so, then teachers should expect, and sUoulil make it known .that they expect, that it shall receive recognition in practical form. If any teacher resigns at the, proper time for lack of sufficient increase, it is requested thut detailed 'Information bu immediately sent te, the corresponding secretary. Such information may prove to bo of value at or beforo the' opening of the succeeding term. Avoid Undor-Biddins It Is well,: perhaps, to remind teachers that a sense of honor requires f that great care should al all times lie taken to avoid uneler-biddlng. Likewise, when a teacheT from a distance, not acquainted with local salary rales, accepts an appointment :ind, on coming to his school, learns that lie has been appointed at a reduced salary, he* cannot but feel, if possessed e,f p'rhjc, thai this is n personal affront; and further, where this happens in a graded sdiooi, his nssociate'il u-aciiers have reason to resent such action, anel a strong protest should be expected from their principal. While consideration of the welfare 'of the profession rceiuires thut the matter of salaries Should be speedily and elefinltely dealt with, it is perhaps well to point out that, when once a flxeel remuneration has been willingly accepted for a term or for a year, with full knowledge ot salary rates In that district, all disaffection should be laid aside. Tile welfare of the profession in a wider sense re- (lUlres that nil disappointments whether petty or real, all local difficulties, and the influence of uncongenial surroundings, where such exist, must be faced with undaunted spirit. We think It timely to say this as evidence that tlie narrow and fault-finding spirit, whicli unhappily at times finels expression in unionism, is to be discountenanced in an assoc iation of teachers, Cranbrook: has heen chosen as tho place of the first annual meeting, which will be held next Easter. In order that teachers from the moro remote points may not be placed at a disadvantage, tho executive has been asked to arrange for the peiol i|)g of railway fares, thus making Hie transportation expenses tlie same for all teachers attending. It Is the in tentlon to prepare a strong educn tional program and, If possible, ,to make this gathering the most sue, cessful of any convention of teachers evtr held in the Kootenays. The B.p. Teachers' federation has raised tho membership fee to $5.0p; and we understand that associations that wish to affiliate will be expected to pay $r,.00 per member. A: our- association covers a wider area than any other in tlie province, most coast associations being purely local, there must be n much greater expense involved In completing and maintaining tho organization, and we shall expect to do some work whicli at tlie coast points probably could best be done through the federation, ,We feel that we ha\ve a right to ex- .pect that this expense anil the affil jntlon feo both be 'covered by the ,$5.00, and correspondence is now be Ing conducted to this end. (In the other hand, an association that is not worth ?5.00 to ils members is probably worh nothing, and It was felt at the •organization meeting that our fee could not at present be made less than that of neighboring assoc iatlous. "*'"; Icxt to Board. The text, eef the board circular reads: The teachers of the Kootenay and lioiiiulary district have recently formed nn association. The aims of this organization arc two-fold; First, to promote higher eeiiluatlolittl idqals, bolter teaching methods and greater efficiency among teachers, thus doing a much needed work which was formerly carried on liy thq Teachers' Institutes; and secoiie1^ to improve the conditions under which tho members of the profession are employed. With this in view, it is the purpose of tho association always to endeavor tei work In harmonious cooperation with scluail boards and with the officials of tlio educational department, and care has been taken to embody this principle in our constitution. To prevent possible misunderstandings in regard to our purposes, tho executive committee wishes to say further that the influence of the association can never be used to protect Inefficient members of tlie profession, or those whose conduct in any matter lias ben such as to impair their usefulness In the school. In such matters the judgment of the school boards, when motives arc iinnucstiohcd, must be considered as final. It would seem i - I—j._Uii needless to say this, but for the fact that a contrary impression Is known to exist. It is also our wish to avoid any action that would tend to spread discontent and distrust among teachers, knowing that efficient service <-*un not be looked tor where disaffection exists. We have, however, a definite request which wo wish respectfully to present lee the serious consideration of school.boards. During the lust five years living expenses have advanced .a rate tutherio unheard ol, estimates varying from £1) to 80 per cent. This is a fact of lrequent remark, and It has indeed become so common- pine that pften it ia treated even lightly, and there seems to bo a general tendency to make little real effort at adjustment, While the war was on teachers generally retrained from asking for increases, and school boards rlgptly endeavored to keep di)\yu expi'il'IUure,' Gradual adjust- fent, ilii'ivlore, could not tako place, aiid now a rapid change has, we think, become, necessary. We therefore would urgently submit that teachers are jiistllled in expecting a really largo iiicreitse in salaries for the term beginning in September next, as compared with the yearly rate ot salary In 1911. ln a case where an adequate and substantial increase is not provided, due. to a well founded belief on tho part of a board tiiat the work of a teacher is not satisfactory, the teacher should be, informed of this in a.frank and (jlnilglitforwai'd manner, regardless of personal feelings, ln this way we can best avoid misunderstandings between school boards and their teachers where cooperation and good-will should always be fostered. In ungraded-schools, however, w„ere there Is no supervision by a principal, and the visits, of eiie inspector arc rare, wo feel lhat there often is grave danger ot tlie work of a teacher being harshly Judged; and we would respectfully urge upon boards in such districts tho need of great care. Jt, is a very old practice with somo boards, chiefly rural, In advertising vacancies, to ask teachers to "apply stating salary expected." This places teachers in the undignified position of bidding against each other even when.Uiis is not Hie purnpse of,tho board. We think it is well to make It known that teachers arc being warned that, whether members, of any association or not, they cannot reasonably expect to maintain a position of respect among theij associates if they practise any such unprofessional conduct; and in this we hope for the consistent approval of school boards. We arc enclosing with this a copy ot a c.eailar that is being sent to teachers. While It may contain Utile- tnat would ue of interest lo others, wo feel that in placing this elircctly ln the hands of school boards we may iu sohlc cases uvolel. dimculties which might otherwise arise, due to incomplete information. cows were taken there for slaughter. Tbe head butcher despatched three of them, and was about to knife thc fourth when it looked up at him and in clear Trelu yelled out: "Maro mat." (Do not kill). Tlie butcher, "who is an old hand, was,taken aback at this and refused to knife the cow. His assistants, who were present and had heard the cow's words, retused to -.espatch it, although ordered le, do so by the officer, in charge. Tito news soon spread like wildfire, an- presently a large crowd gathered on the scene. A European sergeant In the army came to make enquiries and, on learning what had happened, laughed aloud and ordered the butchers to do their duty. The head butcher once more took up his knife and wus about to despatch the the cow. when, to the amazement of the sergeant and the bystanders, the animal was heard to yell: "Kho da ki kasum, nehl maro." ("For Goel*s sake, do not kill mc.) Thc result of.this fresh appeal was that Hie animal was not sacrificed. It was soon brought insldo the compound of Fort William. .Members oi the European community believe that some Mussulman ventriloquist was at work. Butchers are all Mussulmans by caste, and their mother tongue ls Urdu. The cow talked Urdu. It Is understood that certain pious 11 Indus are trying to purchase the ow from the military authorities.

"Collective bargainig," which means the right of men or women to make agreements with regard to wages and working conditions through their union, Is n principle which has the approval of the majority of thc people of this country. To refuse to recognize it would be to refuse to recognize the right to organize and every sensible man knows that organization of tho workers is necessary and desirable. Ih has resulted in much good. But that is not the issue in Winnipeg. The public of Winnipeg, the minister of labor, the provincial government, the Dominion government and the people of Canada gensra'ly are opposing the strike in Winnipeg because If it succeeded it would throw complete control of industry into tho hands of a small group of O.B.U. Bolshevist agitators who are fighting to establish what would ultimately amount to the soviet system in Canada. This group has used the words ''collective bargaining" as a red herring to draw across the trail. The right of the unionB to make bargains on tehalf of their members lias not been challenged. It is tho right of this smal group of Bolshevists to deminato all industry that has been, chnlleriged. If the Winnipeg Bolshevist element won the strike by means of cjimouflaga talk of "collective bargaining" It would enable the strike leaders to dominate all idustries completely. Seizure of all Industry and property would take place Just as quickly as control was gained. They would posses a rule as arbitrary and autocratic as is thc rule if the Bolshevists in Russia. The public realizes this, and docs not intend to submit to it. interchange,4 to complete Its economic life. It ls a grain country, but lacks coal, iron and other resources, and even trade outlets. German Austria ls in a worse position because it is wedged in between the new Jugoslavia and the Bohemians. No enemies are so bitter as slaves suddenly set free. President Wilson's insistence on freedom for Flume is the result of this peculiar internal division of the old Austrian Empire. If Flume were controlled by the Jugo-Slavs, some customs ugreement giving German Austria and Hungary use of It might bo made. With Italy In control the muss of Austrian Slavs and Teutons and the Magyars would be united in angry protest. The allies, as a group, are determined to encourago Czecho-Slovakla and the Jugo-Slavs to become powerful minor states, as a bulwark against renewed Teuton aggression and a stay against Bolshevism. THE TRAIL NEWS CHANGES HANDS. The peace gardens nre beginning to show what they can do in Kootenay and Boundary. Bolshevism is a doctrine of ruthless force. That is natural as it was mado in Germany. German peace delegates who are busy decorating their heads with halos havo not succeeded in hiding the spikes. Von Hlndenburg wants to live in Switzerland. Why? It is not apparent that ho was built for mounaln climbing. Evidently, in spite of the pessimists, there is no very serious unemployment situation In tho east. One Toronto paper on May 26 publishtd more than 13 solid columns of "Help Wanted" advertisements. It looks as if Czar Lenine and Czar Trotsky of Russia will need an airplane to get them out of Russia quickly enough, before very long. But they will find it difficult to pack what they havo stolen ln an airplane. Even if they can borrow a Zeppelin from thoir friends In Germany it could only carry a small part of the loot. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING. It is announced in the current lasuq of tho Trail News that W. B. Wlllcox, editor and manager of the paper for four years, has disposed of his interest to J. J. Clarke and Elmer D. Hall, who have been members of the Trail News staff for some time. Mr. Wlllcox states that he proposes to enjoy a rest, His departure from Trail will be deeply regretted by the people of that city, During the past four years Mr, Wlllcox built up tho Trail Xews into one of the best weekly newspapers in thc Dominion. He has been on energetic and whole-hearted booster for Trail, always pursuing a sound policy of advocating steady development and harmonious cooperatiou of^ tlie people toward that end. A successful newspaperman, a goo J citizen, and the possessor of a likeable personality, W. B. Wlllcox will be missed in Kootenay nnd Boundary, if he decides to leave the d.strtct. Messrs. Clarke and Hall will begin their new venture with the support of tho best wishes of the people of Kootenay and Boundary. AUSTRIA'S SMALL INDEMNITY. If tho preliminary announcements are correct, the peace treaty with Austria-Hungary will require an indemnity from that vanquished enemy of tivo billion crowns, or about a billion dollars. Contrasted with the $25,000,000,000 to be exacted from Gcr- muny, this seems small, but the breakup of the Dual Monarchy has tripped the Teuton and Magyar portions of ability to pay more than a nominal yum. Even If the old Hapaburg do monion had held together, it could not pay a largo indemnity, because dur Ing the war it sank Into a morass of ucbt, and its currency became inflated on a Bolshevik scale. But the principal reason why the financial ■penalty to be visited on the Austrians and Hungarians is so light, an east ern paper points out, is the withdrawal and erection into allied states of the fclav portions, from an economic point of view the chief producers of the empire. Thc new state of Czecho-Slovakla, for Instance,- which includes Bohemia, has 38 per cent of the grain- producing area of the old empire, 83 per cent of the coal, $0 per cent of the iron and 90 per cent of the sugar factories. It paid nearly 63 per cent of the empire taxation. It is not without reason that Hungarian and German* Austrian economists shriek their dismay at the outlook for their badly shrunken countries.

GERMANY FLOODED WITH BILLIONS OF BANK NOTES NEW YORK.—Germany, at the end of last January, was flooded with 17.778,000,000 or bank notes. This consisted ot 15,438,800,000 of Uclchs- bank notes and $2,339,200,000 of notes put out by the numerous war loan banks, called "Darlengasson." At thc outbreak of the war the only paper circulation was about $667,900,000 of notes issued by the Hcichsbank. A description of tho war operations of the German Reichsbank is given In the current number of the Federal Reserve Bulletin. Reichsbank notes tn circulation increased steadily from the beginning of the war with slight declines following the flotation of the loans when, as a result of cash payments by the public on subscriptions considerable amounts of bank notes would find their way back .into the coffers of tho Reichsbank and thereby decrease tho amounts of outstanding circulation. , On July 81, 1914, there was a total of 2,904.4 million marks of notes in circulation, or about $667,900,000 taking the normal eriulvnlcnt of 23 cents to the mark; by December 31 of the same year the amount had Increased to 5,043.9 millions. At Ihe end of 1915 notes outstanding were 6,917.9 million marks; at the end of 1916, 8,059.7 million marks; at the end of 1917, 11,467.7 million marks, and at tlio end of 1918, 22,188.0 million marks. Since then the figures have Increased further to 23,647.6 millions on January 31, 1919 ($5,438,800,000) While the notes in circulation Increased continuously throughout the war, the rate of growth during tho first three years of the war was com paratively moderate. During 1915 the rate of increase was about 37 per cent.; during 1916, 17 per cent.; and during 1917, 42 per cent.; but during 1918 the note circulation increased 106 per cent. From October 31, just beforet he armistice, to January 31, 1919, the volumo of the Reichsbank notes lh circulation increased by nearly 7 billion marks, or by about 67 per cent, in four months. A large portion of these notes found their way into enemy territories (Poland, Lithuania, Belgium, France, etc.) occupied by the German armies, largely as a result of the practice of thc German military to Pay with German currency for requisitioned supplies. Loan Banka Opened The notes Issued directly by the bank and shown in its balance sheet as a liability, are not all tho paper currency circulating in the country. Immediately after tlie beginning of the war thc government adopted tlie policy tried out during previous waj*s and established a number of loan* banks (Darlcnkassen), which loaned money- to tho public on securities and non • perishable commodities. These banks-were authorized to Issue their own notes (Darlenkassenscheino) up to an amount equivalent to the loans made by them. According to the original act establishing these loan banks tho total amount of their notes was not to exceed 1.500 mil lion marks. The law provided, how- ever, that this maximum could lie raised by order of tlie Fedeml coun cil (Hundcsrat). Tho first increase of this maximum was authorized as early as November 11, 1914. Since then further expan slon became necessary, as may bo seen from the largo increases in tho reported amounts of these notes outstanding. Thc notes were issued in small denominations nnd obtained mldc circulation owing to the scarcity of subsidiary coins. On August 31, 1914, there were 70 million nuu-ks of these notes in circulation; on J'Jecem ber 31 of the same year, 446 millions. Since that time the . amount has increased enormously. At the end of 1917 it was 6,266 millions; Just before the armistice wUa signed it wns 9,430 millions and on January 31, 1919, it waB 10,170 million marks ($2,339,200,000). To thc 23,648 million marks of Imperial .bank note circulation there should therefore bo added U0.170 mil lions of loan hank notes, making a total of 33,818 million marks ot fiduciary currency Issued by' thc two bank authorities. These notes np parcntly arc put into circulation largely by the Reichsbank, which receives them from the Darlcnskasscn In exchange for Its own notes. The Reichsbank retains part of , tho loan bnnk notes which, according to the law of August 4, 1914, may be counted ns part of the bank's one-third legal reserve cover for Its own bank notes and to a limited extent also ns cover for the 360 million treasury notes, the maximum Issue authorized at the outbreak of the war. On January 31, 1919, 5,988 million marks of the loan bank notes were held in the Reiciibank which, added to the 10,170 millions in circulation, brings the total amount of such notes outstanding to 16,158 million marks, indicating that loons aggregating this amount wefc made by the loan banks. ON WITH IMPROVEMENTS! <$ 9 The city council has taken the plunge and if all goes well It will come out of the year's display of activities with a paved Water streot. Under consideration for several years, begetting at times hesitation upon the part of somo members of thc cily council, who felt dubious about the policy of placing a burden on a few property owners not in the independent or fairly well-to-do class, It has at last run the gamut at the board and Is now on the way to tho bylaw stage, tho last step before construction operations start. "We may not be doing the city council an Injustice in saying that it has at last acted in desperation. Such a Water street as wc now possess ls a disgrace to thc city. In Itself it proclaims civic apathy and scarcoly a 50 per cent, public spirit. Visitors not knowing thc circumstances Interwoven in thc delay that has occurred In the consideration of a permanent pavement receive a. very bad impression of down-town Gait. Our citizens through visitors aro severely criticized for tolerating such a con dition as obtainB on Gait's main thoroughfare, and it takes a lot of explaining by our partisans to meet the strictures levelled at our devoted heads. Tho end to all procrastinating tactics has como In tlio nick of time. Water streot, with its stores, massive factories, public buildings, and fine residences is o be asphalted from l'l'eston road to Concession street. What of the street railway* tracks'.' will be askea. That proposition can be permitted to incubate for the present. The main thing is a permanent pavement to take this main thoroughturo of the city out of the rut—to provide it with a cleantace, so to speak. That provided for, the city council can go on with the railway job—or it can approach the subject calmly, deliberately, without malice aforethought, without a chip on its shoulder. Incidental as It is, tho trackage franchise must not be allowed to Interfere with tho proposed roadway, cialtonlans generally will support tho city council in tho stop, while hoping that tlie issue will be satisfactory to all parties.—Gait Reporter.

Many peoplo who live In cities and towns evince about- tho minimum consideration for oiher members of the community. They aro quite oblivious of community rights unless, at tho same time, their own personal comfort or convenience is endangered. A simple concrete Illustration of this is the careless manner in which brouen glassware is left in city strccis. During the winter, many bottles and jars or broken by delivery men. Tho broken parts arc le.t whero they fall, and with the disappearance of the snow in the spring patches of broken glass are left In the winter's accumulation of rubbish and filth, a constant menace to all rubber-tlred vehicles. Often, too, such bottles are broken near the entrances of homes and, instead of being gathered up and removed, are left where they (ell. Painful and more or less serious accidents have occurred to many children who have stepped or fallen on broken milk bottles. Civic authorities might well consider thc advisability of making such forms of carelessness punishable offences. By making examples of a few, this class of offenders might be made to iciilizo that sooner or later inconsidenit.ness of others acts as a boomeiang.—Conservation. THE RED REGIME.

I Diacuseea Canadian Premier's Appeal For Equality of Nationhood—Post Dwells on the Paat LONDON, May 17 (Delayed in transmission).—There Is a good deal of editorial comment In the London morning papers on Canada and the Empire, based on Sir Robert Borden's speech at the Westminster luncheon yesterday. ' The TlmeB devotes a first leader to the subject and, discussing the past and future of (he imperial cabinet, says it agrees wholly with Borden's blunt declaration that tlie one possible bnsis of Britisli relations with the Dominions now and for the future Is ceiuallty of nationhood within the Empire. It agrees, too, that tho real danger In the future is any tendency in tills country to ignore that principle. "How is the Imperial cabinet in its present form lo be brought into harmony with it? For thc moment, ns Sir Robert Borden says, that question must lie in abeyance, but it cannot be left in abeyance indefinitely, and he shows his wisdom and foresight when lie suggests that tho promised conference on thc constitution of thn Empire should meet not Inter thnn next year." Temptation to "Immediate Wealth1 The Morning Post snys; "Some time before the war Canada loyally resisted a great temptation of immediate wealth fen- tho sake of tho ideal of united Empire; and there was another Ideal involved, the economic security of Canada and tho British Empire In war. Wc realize thc Canadian instinct wns sound. "Independence and even eXls'toiice of the Empire rest upon ,its" self- siifficldiicy in essential industries and necessities of life. That cause has to bo maintained ln Canada, its In the rest of tlio Empire, nnd we have good reason to believe that in Canada that cause Is safe in tlie hands of Borden and his colleagues." Empire a League of Nations The Daily Chronicle, liko tlie Times, gives its first leader to the Canadian farewell, and on the question of Do-! minion nationhood as illustrated in their representation on the leaguo of nations, remarks that "thc British Empire is already a league of nations in being. The members of It nre united by birth, language, sympathy and traditions, nnd their common allegiance to Ihe Crown, which more ond more has become thc symbol of Imperial duty. This Ib one reason why our government, ably backed by Borden and others, has played so important a part In drafting the terms of the league of nations for Thc world, for the only available experience of such a league Is that which we share with the Dominions." Thc Daily Mail declares "wc shall fiqd it difficult to discharge our debt to Borden. Canada can look back with unexampled pride, on thc part she has played both in peace and war under his wise leadership." PRIVATE CARS USED BY CABINET MINISTERS OTT.VWA. — Because Mr. Joseph Emilc Stanislas Emmanuel D'Anjou, member for Rimouskl, yearned to have full and satisfying details as to the facilities for traveling which would be at the disposal of a polltlclun who becomes In the courBe of time a minister of a federal cabinet, there was placed on the table of the house tho following list of private cars which members of the government or thc governor-general can use; Official ears "Cornwall," "York" and "Canada," assigned to the use of tho governor- general; Car No. 100, assigned to tho premlor; No. 40, assigned to the minister of railways; No. 31, assigned to the minister of militia; No. 30, "Empire" and "Niplsslng," for the use of ministers and others from time to time. How Ministers Travel. It is explained In this return that on the famous night when accident delayed a Canadian Northern train running from Toronto to Ottawa the acting premier occupied Car No. 100, the minister of militia Car No. 31, while the car "Toronto" was used by tho president of the Canadian National railways, and that not one of these was injured. It Is further stated, In answer to the searching questions ot the inquisitor, that the supplies used on these enrs and tho transportation furnished were arrangca for- by the minister to whom each car was assigned, and that this is the common practice except when a guest of the government ls being curried. In addition to tho official special cars mentioned, General managers, general superintendents and superintendents of the government railways have special cars, "Just us similar officials have on other railways." "No Record" of Pleasure Trips. Tho most leading question of all received the following answer: "Thero is no record." The question was; "How many of those private cars, if any, have been used from time to timo sinco 1911 by memberu of tho family of thc ministers or high offi- iuls exclusively for social nnd pleasure trips?"

June 1.—An in- teresth.g and instructive lecture was given nt a combined meeting of. tlie men's and women's institutes Thursday evening by .Mrs. Chalmers of Thrums. The whole process of cheese making was explained, both verbally and by lantern slides, whieh added very much to tlie interest. The process appeared to be very simph but it was explained tbat if not care felly attended to the result, instead of a nice succulent cheese, would probably be a block not even break able witli a hatehet. Tlie value of a silo on the farm was also demonstrated and the machinery, etc., for an up-to-date silo was shown on the screen. The many and varied uses of a canning outfit were nlsii shown, and the finished products were certainly a good testimonial for it. The rearing of chickens aad geese, also the value of trap-nesting, wore subjects touched upon. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the speaker. (bi Friday afternoon the usual monthly ■■meeting of •> the- W.I, waa held and was well attended. Thc (piestion of a Normal school for tlie interior wan brought before tlie meet ing. The great need for it was cm phasized by Mrs. Chalmers, who also addressed the members on their grc responsibilities and opportunities as voters. A resolution was passed concerning ihe perpetuation of the 51th bat tnlion as a militia battalion, with headquarters at Nelson. The library continues to grow and seems likely to be useful and also appreciated by tbe members, Tiie usual monthly collection amounted to $1.05. After a vor pleasant meeting a vote of thanks was passed to Mrs. Chalmers and te, was served. Shock Left Her Weak and Nervous COULD NOT SLEEP.

What with the removal of "fillers," thinning out uf poor varieties, and tlie "working over" of many hundreds of trees In the aggregate, these figures are not now correct as to varieties, nor are there 90,307 trees to crop from, neither wilt the new plantings of the lust five years make good Ihe deficit ill this respect, as very little nursery stock of tlie tree sort bus been put in tlie ground since 1914.

Columbia, Pa—"I was very weak nnd run down and had dragging-dowr pains and pains ir my back; I couk' not get around to do my work and had tc sit down and rest often during theilny. 1 saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised in the papers and read thc testimonials, so I thought 1 would try it. Now lam healthier than 1 ever was inmv life, ond can recommend it to any woman who suffers as I did." -Mrs. Elizabeth May, K.F.D. No. 1, Columbia, Pa. The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so successful in overcoming woman's ills is because it contains the tonic, strengthening properties of good old fashioned roots and herbs, which act on the female organism. Women from all parts of the country are continually tcstifyingtoits strengthening, curativcinfluence, and the letters which we are constantly publishing from women in every section of this country prove beyond question the merit of this famous root and herb medicine. smoke "Player's Navy Cut" Ciejarcltea wrapped In Till Foil.

STEALING BICYCLES CAUSES DEALERS LOSSES TOItONTO, Int. — Two CanadWn dealers were discussing bicycle trade association work, and they Immediately agreed thut fur one reason among many others the cooperative idea was worth while. This one reason was the stolen wheel problem. It was pointed out thai losses irom the stealing" of bicycles during thc past year or two had been greatly reduced in those cities where the dealers cooperated through an association. They have also beon able to save considerable money through co-operative effort by getting final payments on time-sold wheels from ' avoltlers." In many Canadian cities now a dealer will call up his competitors to notify them that somebody or other lias walked Into his store wilh a 1-icycle that may not be the person's 1 oncst property. The man wants to sell tlie bicycle to the dealer at a vry low price, tlie dealer immediately telephones the rival dealer who happens io sell thai particular lino of wheel, Kninetimes the information secured is astonishing and thc properly is recovered, The dealers have also learned that if a rider walks into it -store for re pairs or adjustments on an almost new wheel that has been sold by another dealer, there is iL possibility lhat the rider owes one nr more payments on the wheel, and is afraid to go back if- his own dealer. A little telephone conversation will bring to light the real situation^ and everybody gels satisfaction through cooperation again. Another little trick that many dealers have learned is to-watch the outgoing baggage rooms or express offices for stolen bicycles. As soon as :t wheel is reported stolen, the dealer goes or sends a man to the railway station, nnd sometimes the wheel is there all nicely tagged for a nearby point, whore it will be resold. This move was made in Ottawa recently, with the result that the local police officials were able to follow a man to a nearby centre. -\ search of the premises in the other town disclosed the fact that a stock of stolen wheels were being refitted. and Ihe "bunks" of the "agency" showed that many bicycles bad been handled. The man got two years. "Sir, this is a golden opportunity! Small Investment, no risk, and enormous returns absolutely sure." "Then l wouldn't have the heart to deprive you of it.'!- -Life.

EIGHT HUNDRED KILLED AND WOUNDED IN INDIAN RIOTS LONDON, June 1 (Reuters).— In the house of commons at question time Saturday, Sir t Edwin Montague, secretary of State for India, stated that he understood the total of deaths and injured in thc riots in India were about four hundred each, including eight or nine Europeans. The damage was nearly a million pounds sterling, A CANADIANIZING INFLUENCE. At this time when movements having for their object the fostering of Canadlanizing influences are being strongly advocated it would be a mistake not to recognize the value of war savings and thrift stamps, which nre inducing so many persons of foreign birth to get a stake in Canada. The stranger within our gates who puts his money into' a wur savings stamp, which is a small Dominion government bond, is being Canadlan- Ized in a very practical manner. The person of foreign origin is usually very careful with his money and when he puts it into an enterprise lie is pretty well convinced that it is all right. Having put their money inlo war savings stamps these people are convinced that Canada is ull right. They will now work for^the Dominion with a better heart than ever before, for they are being Canadianized by their investment. BAD CONDITIONS SAID TO EXIST IN P.G.E. CAMPS VICTORIA, H.C, .lime 1.—Acting on behalf of a client, a Vancouver legal firm has written to l'remier Olivor complaining lhat conditions in a number of the Pacific Great Eastern construction camps are not sanitary and that the semi-weekly pay-day is not operation. While Mr, I 'liver stated that the matter would have his immediate attention he was at u loss to understand why the complaint should have arisen for the simple reason that all the camps visited by him during his recent trip over the entire system disclosed nothing in the nature of Irregularities of any kind. In fact, there were g njinutes by street car from post office, und not far from the water front, with beautiful view of the lake. I consider this a splendid buy for anyone wishing lo own a good home and am satisfied any building contractor would require at least 25 per cent, more than the price asked to build the same house and not taking into consideration the value of the lots. If you are prepared to buy a good home, let me show you this one. Tho price is ST.TiOO on terms, I buy and sell all Issues of Victory Bands. Hugh W.

THE DAILY NEWS ' PAGE SEVEN ' Prof. James Mayor, head of the illtical science department, Unl- rsity of Toronto, has addressed the Mowing open letter to Sir Thomas 'hite and has requested The Citizen 1 publish if.— lOpen letter to Sir Thomas White, ■ling prime minister of Canada*. Sir,—I desire to appeal to the high- inded public of Canada to prevent, :: they can if they will, thc perpe- ation of what appears to me to be : monstrous national crime. It Is ell known that between 7.000 and ,'JUO Doukhobors emigrated from jussla in 1899. Thc oppression they idured from the government there Kis well known, and they npplied \ be allowed to come to this county. They made two conditions, both [ which were accepted by the mln- iter of the interior of the time. The rat of these conditions—exemption |om military service—was embodied , an order-ln-council. Thc second mdltion—freedom to settle in vll- ges—was as fully accepted, al- iiongh It was not embodied in so nrmal a document. When they came lie people were received with open priss. The immigration was the irgest which had ever come to Can- tla In one mass. Tbe fame of Can- da as the refuge of the unfortunate ran spread and even trumpeted iroughout the world. Other clreum- lances no doubt conspired, but the loukhobor immigration represented he beginning of a great movement rom Europe, which was looked upon t the time as the utmost Importance building up this country. Thc luropean immigrants built the rnll- [oys in the northwest and contrl uted enormously to the Increase of roductlon. Had this immigration Dt taken place it Is doubtful If the orthwest would now have been in ie economical position in Whicli It nds itself. Whether the disturbance of their lllage and family life, duo to tho 'cquent harassing conduct of the ussiun government, affected their ilnds or not, It. is thc fact that for ime years before and for some years fter their arrival in Canada the loukhobors were subject to put- reaks of religious fanaticism. These utbreaks did not, however, affect lore than one-fifth to one-quarter f the people, and in no case wero lie outbreaks of long duration. There lave been no outbreaks for several 'ears. When the arrangements were being 'jade about their settlement, I was fivltcd by the department of the in frtor to make some suggestions. And suggested that the land allotted to to Doukhobors should lie on the eiter limit of what was considered y the government surveyors at that *mo ns suitable for practical settle ten. I pointed out that tho fact of lelr being a. "hard knot" in : pUlttry otherwise occupied by farm cultivating individually would ,ot be so inconvenient as it might if. the settlement were iu th'e uart of the country, und that the rea intervening between the exist ig settlements and the Doukhobor inds would fill up all the more readily, that they were beyond that urea. Jills suggestion was adopted, and the liitlcipatlon proved to be correct, 1 he intervening area did fill up very ipidly and the lands quickly rose value. What I did not anticipate as that the government would break J lith with tiie people and would, so |>on as lt'wus subjected to pressure y land speculators, seek to deprlvo ie Doukhobors ot the lands which ;,d been given to them, or explicitly ■served for them. Had 1 known so iithlng would havo induced me to | icourage any immigrants to come this country. Tlie procoss of attack upon tho | oukhobor lands began In 1906. It necessary to explain certain pecul- I iritles of the people which laid them lien to the attack und left them Jefenceless before it. About three- j inrths of them practised rigid I joperatlon, They bought collectively und they sold collectively, he local merchants disliked them ecause they did not profit by their roxlmity on account of tho pur- [ lascs of the Doukhobors being made rincipally in Toronto and Vancouver here, soon uftcr their settlement, ley began to buy on a large scale. he local farmers professed to be- evo that the sale of Doukhobor pro- juce reduced prices. Together with the land speculators I -many farmers being among these— lad aided by the local politicians, the roups mentioned organized a raid jpon Sir Wilfrid Laurler and Mr. rank Oliver.' Neither of these had Ijer been in tho Doukhobor settle- Lent, nor did they know anything I tjout the people nr their character, ho Doukhobors I. .1 no votes be- luse they objected io '.ho oath of | llcglance—conceiving that to swear gave the government a power over lem which they could, not under- | :and. For this reason their case regarded with cynical indlffer Mice. Instead of dealing with the uestion In a diplomatic manner, the vernment in 1907 simply cancelled io Doukhobor grants and took away •oni the people nearly 400,000 acres ( land. Large areas of that land ad been brought Into cultivation y tho people. Technically tho gov rnrnent may have acted within thoir owers; morally, their action waB rtthout justification. One of the (ccullarities of the Doukhobors Is SPORT adherence to the maxim of Tolstoy, by whom in recent years they have been much Influenced. That maxim is "Resist not evil." They accepted the*situation and of course believed that—like the government of Russia —the Canadian government was simply an Instrument of oppression. They decided tjiat even the small portion of land left to them was held on very insecure tenure and therefore they should buy land instead of trusting to government grants. They bought large tracts of land in Britisli Columbia from and with the knowledge of the govern' ment of that province. They were well adviseei, at all events for the time, for in 1912 further encroach' mentB upon their Saskatchewan lands was made, at the instance of Con servative politicians and others. Some thousands of the Doukhobors were transferred to the British CO' lumhia lands. There they engaged in the intensive agriculture to which they had been accustomed in Russia, this form of agriculture not being possible ln northern Saskatchewan, They established large fruit farms, built jam factories and produced on a large scale. During the war they presented tlie government witli great quantities of Jam as their contribution lo tlie war funds. Now comes the crime—these peaceable, If obstinate and peculiar people, are being forced out of their purchased lands as they were forced out of their homesteads by the same conspiracy of local tradesmen, local farmers, local politicians and local speculators. .These people have entertained the idea of exploiting the returned soldier in order to deprive the Doukhobors of their cultivated lands. Tho intention of tho scheme is ns obvious as it is llscredltable. On tho pica that the returned soldier must have land they have induced the government to buy out the Doukhobors at forced sale, and then to give the returned soldiers grants of their land. Thc experience of such military grants In this country and elsewhere is thut the soldier quickly realizes upon his grant, and then the opportunity of the speculator comes. He buys the grunts thus suddenly thrown upon the market at a low price, and holds ho, land for a profit, meanwhile allowing it to fall out of cultivation. There is plenty of land In British Columbia and in thc northwest for all the returned soldiers who genuinely desire to settle down to an agricultural life. They should be generousy treated in tho distribution of innd, but there can be no sound policy in turning out established settlers who aro making a success of intensive cultivation, and who have bought and paid for their land, be Ueving in tlie good faith of the people of Canada in their respect for civil rights. The soldier, unless he ls nlso a politician, may find his grant similarly expropriated on the plea that lie has not fulfilled precisely all the conditions. This coun try needs immigrants to occupy its wide spaces; how can they bo expected to come if the prospect lies before them of being deprived on one excuse or another of their homesteads or even of the lands they have paid for? What are the dispossessed Doukho- bi'rs to do? They cannot go back to Russia; tlie conditions' there would be for them not any belter than they are here. It is useless for them to elnnk ot buying land in this country, because senile plausible excuse might at tiny time bo Invented to deprive then of it in the same way oelng done now. They must inevitably be turned into vagrants-unable to obtain land in a country there arc millions of acres tor the plow. Thc lite of these unfortunate people has been again and again torn up by the roots, not only in Russia, but 1„ this country, by the action the respective governments. H Utile wonder that they . distrust the •organisations of the state. Theii of it has been that when its attention is them, it is on INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Sunday Games. At Reading— R. H. E.

WILLARD REACHES TOLEDO; IS WEARY AFTER LONG TRIP TOLEDO, Ohio, May 31.—Weary from his long, not journey from California, Jess Willard arrived here late tonight to finish training for bis championship contest with Jack Dempsey. Today was scorching hot, but the heat did not stop a crowd from Jamming Dempsey's canvas enclosed arena, After elrlving Ills punching bag from Its moorings and tugging nt the weights, Dempsey boxed four bristling rounds. Jack I.avln, a Cleveland light-heavyweight, and Soldier Santon of New York, loft the ring with their knees sagging from the punching the challenger handed them. Each boxed one round. The Jamaica Kid, 156-pound negro from New York, gave Dempsey tho most spirited workout, He is a skillful boxer and a hard hitter and rev- of the experience for some reason spasmodically drawn to occasion merely an instrument of oppression and disturbance. The ■short-sighted policy government with regard to the Doukhobors during the past 13 years has u„rnc the fruit, that this Averse or even perverse view of the state has been strongly confirmed in the minds o The Doukhobors, and if the policy ,s further persisted ln must affect i„ a similar way others who are not so simple-minded as they are. The distrust inspired in their minds by me past actions of the govern- me,it has a great deal to do with S objections to the education of heir ch Wren as well as with their Lotion from their neighbors. They m,,y bo self-righteous and afflicted wlh spiritual pride, but they feciald have reason to feel, that they h ve been and arc now being treated without regard to justice by their Neighbors, and through their Influence by the government. °" proceedings have nothing in common with a policy of."reconstruc- tlon." on the contrary, they amount to deliberate destruction. If thogov- ™menV expropriated the fruit farms n Wasara district, turned the "rm ,s adrift and bestowed the and In grants to returned soldiers with liberty to sell to speculators, thc case would be precisely similar. Care for our returned men is a national duty; it cannot with justice be made a special burden upon a few. Dls regard of civil rights is an infectious disease. When a government breaks the fundamental laws of a country and of society it is little wonder that law in general should be held in light esteem. If Canada is over to be emancipated from slavery to the petty politician, whose eye is bent exclusively on the main 'chance, this can only be done by a wider and less self-interested public opinion making its influence felt upon 'the govern ment. This seems to bo an occasion when such influence ought somehow to be made manifest. If there is anything to be done, there ls no time to be losL Appraisers sent liy the Dominion government are already on tho spot estimating the value of tho land whicli is intended to be confiscated. Tho whole, matter has been rushed with indecent haste. I would suggest that the Dominion government institute without delay a serious inquiry conducted by competent persons into the whole circumstances of the case. Canada cannot afford to have its public character compromised by a transaction wheh will no bear the light of day The fact that the people who have been and are being again plundered are innocent, Inoffonalye. industrious people, unacquainted with political guile, ought to make every high-minded citizen of this country insist upon justice being done them, and upon their being left in the enjoyment of their peaceful and productive lite. • *'■ ' j £ (Signed), JAMES MAVOR.
