The names of virtually all of the officials on the naval home and high seas staffs are found on the list. Admiral Von Mueller, chief of the secret naval cabinet, was permanently attached to headquarters where he was counted among former Emperor William's personal advisers. In addition, the allies demand Admiral Von Tirpitz, Admiral Von Capelle and Admiral Von Trotha, who were successively secretaries of the navy. Admiralty officials who will discuss the list, charge that the wholesale demand for naval officers indicates that the entente desire to "permanently paralyze German naval aspirations," and the presence of names like those of Admiral Von Tirpitz and Admiral Von Mueller is ridiculed. Admiral Von Schroeber commanded the Flanders naval base, and it was under his jurisdiction that Captain Fryatt, later executed, was captured.

ST OF PARTY CAUSING TD ill DEEP RNXIETYTOGOftLITlONISTS Best Informed Politicians Believe Formation of New Ministry by Labor Party is Only Question of time; Parliament Reassembles Tuesday; Home Rule Bill is One of Principle Problems to be Forward During Session; Irish May be Allowed to Decide by Referendum CONDON, Feh, is.—The British parliament will reassemble on Tuesday, with several of the weightiest problems of reconstruction still hanging O'.cr its head. The financial situation, the question of nationalization of mines and railroads aad the new Irish problem are three ut th" most importance. 1,10yd George Is expected to begin tne session witii a review ol llio fi'iural slate of Europe and of the IVilish policy toward' various developments, such f.a relations wiib P.,;s- b'iii and the Polish and Italian ..n.ua- t'.iTit.. The kiit'i'iies promise Lo move an amendment Lo the address, providing for nationalization of mines wi.iie the ..mall delegation of the Irish Xalionallst party sli'I left in ilie house is oNjecled to ut'-'iclc tho government's policy of repression which they blu'mc for Irish disorders. Ainong announcements expected with the opening session is a slaLe- mcut (if whether the government favors the proposed international conference ■ for dlseusslntr the world's financial situation. Tho home rule bill probably will be brought forward at an early date, the cabinet having overhauled it during tho past week al ,u conference with Viscount French, lord-lleulenanl. aud governor general uf Ireland, and .fames Macpherson, chief seerctaray for Ireland. The bill may prove considerably different from that which had heen expected. One proposal wliich is rinding support in England is that it should be an enabling bill, rather than one which would impose a new system upon Ireland, leaving it to the Irish people to decide by some form of referendum whether they will accept ii and try to put it into effect. Heavy clouds appear to be gathering behind the coalition government, owing to the steadily increasing power of the labor party. Some of lhe host informed politicians profess tu see the luind-writng on the vull, lhat the formation of a new ministry by the laborites is only a question tif lime and the hour may siriki within tlie next few minutes. George Nicoll Barnes and George H. Roberts, the lust two Inbor ministers iu Premier Lloyd George's cabinet, have resigned, leaving the coalition government without any representative of the party which recent by-elections havo indicated in now numerically the largest political organization in Great Britain. Meanwhile, men of widely different types, such as Viscount Muldanc and Admiral .Sir John Fisher, have conic out for labor. Viwcount llaldaue, who was one of tho most conservative members of the old liberal government winch brought Great Britain into the war and a closo political friend of Herbert, H. Asquith and A'iscount Grey, threw u bomb into that group when be gave an interview declaring "that the labor party alone has a vision which will enable it to posses and serve the future." Speculation as to the personnel of tho next cabinet advances Arthur Henderson, lhe laborite leader, as a possible premier; Viseouul ifaldanc as lord i!han.cellor anil Prof. John May- nard, Keynes, British delegate on }hc reparations sub-committee of the peace conference, as chancellor of the exchequer. Nationalization of industry nnd opposition to armaments are Lwo of the strongest planks in the labor program. Lloyd Georgo contemplates a bill giving the miners a large share in the management or tho mines but this week refused a. suggestion made by representatives of tbo miners that he embody iu the bill the recommendations of the Sanlcey commission for a large measure of nationalization. Talk of direct action, which means a general strike lo bring about nationalization, lias been revived. The Paisley by-election, where Former Prmier Asquith is making a strong campaign for election to the house 01" commons on a liberal platform is the focus of political interest. The result may not be the verdict of the partie's relative strength, however, as numerous conservative journals, including the Spectator, are urging the conservatives to vote for Asquith, without endorsing his principles, hut on the ground that the ability of such a great parliamentarian should not be lost to the country in the present critical time.

The report is as follows: In pUbrhlUipg a brief report of ihe mining activities of this district for the year we beg to remark that besides keeping up the yearly assessment work on all promising claims, considerable work has also been done on the following properties with good results: The. Isaac, situated on Francis creek, to the west of Wilmer is under lease and bond to Paul Den- hart, who' has had a small crew engaged in taking uut ore Since October. , One car of ore has been shipped to the smelter and another is now awaiting .shipment at Brfsco. The Lead Queen, situated tin the same cre'ek as tin* Isaac, is owned by the same party, and has been worked up to November. They wero driving a cross cut to get depth and to avoid , snow slides, but winter overtook j the work before cutting the vein.

Tl>is prop- ty is situated on a tributary .of Horse Thief creek to the west of Wilmer. it was extensively worked the earlier nineties but on account, of the low price of met a Is and tbe ore being low grade, and there being no railway transporta- jqn tbo product could not be profitably bandied. There is a large piautily o£ this character of ore mi the dumps and this is,what Mr, Watson la shipping. Humor has it thai he is making a handsome profit. Tbe undertaking is giving employment to a large number of men and horses throughout' the district. Three cars of ore have been shipped to the smelter and another car is being Idaded. The Sittihg.

The Bald l.agle, also situated on' Bouhktr, 'or' Slade creek, across the mountain from Paradise mine, has been worked . steadily by the OWn-' ers. who are driving a cross cut to_ tap the vein ami to get clear of lhe Water from the upper level. They have encountered exceptionally hard rock, and Cor this reason have not iis yet reached their objective point. Paradise Hushes Shipments The Paradise mine is tuo well known to require any comment. It has- shipped' ID34 tons of ore for i his year and Intends rushing tbe shipments from now until the spring breaks up. It is the largest shipper in the Mast kootenay district with llieexcepiiun uf tbe North Star, the Sullivan ami siiine nf the properties of the Kimberley district. From tin- foregoing meagre outline it must In: readily conceded that ibe Windermere mining division offers opportunities to the prospector, the small mining developer, the development company or the operator. To ibe first of these it may be said that there are parts of this district as yet untouched which offer every .promise to the intelligent prospector.

Tbe subject should be pushed right now. The provincial government Is ranging tor the construction ol bridge across the Columbia river t o tu be built this year to fate the shipment of ore from district.

PIMENTO IS PRIF.B FRUIT Pimento, sometimes called allspice of Jamaica popper, Is a dried fruit of a' small Wost Indian troe. Tho fruit is green when gathered and turns brown when dried. The name allspice was given to It because It was supposed to resemblo ln flavor a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, A decrease of over $8,000,000, or about 20 per cent, in the value of the province's mineral output, ls estimated for tho year 1919, by Vf. Fleet Robertson, provincial mineralogist, In the "preliminary review and estimate" just Issued by the provincial department of mines. Tho introduction to the bulletin, written hy Mr. Robertson, is in part as follows: Tho .accompanying table shows an estimated mineral production during 1919 of n. total value of $33,421,333. Tt will be seen that the total value of the production of 1919, as est! mated, ls $8,361,-41 less than that of 1918, equivalent to a decrease of ot about 20 per cont. This decrease In production, as compared with the' preceding year, loses its adverse significance when it is considered that tho 1919 production Is still materially greater than that of any year prior to 191-8 and that tho larger productlohs of th. years 1916-17 are duo to the stlm iilus of war and tho Inflated rtietal prices attendant thereon. So that any feeling of regret this year's output being less than that of the previous threo years Is com plctoly obliterated by the consideration ot tho removal ot the cause of tho abnormal outputs of these threo years—tho war—and it becomes a matter of congratulate that, with tho return of something approaching normal conditions, wo should still find this year's mineral-output showing n very material increaso over those of former normal years. Main Decrease is in Copper It will bo noted from the accompanying tablo showing -the details of production that this year's decrease is almost entirely duo to copper—to tho lessor quantity produced and tho lower market price obtained for such product. To this must be added the consequent lessen' ing ot the production of both gold nnd silver to the extent that these metals would be contained In tho do crease of tonnage of copper oro mined, As the position ot tlie copper-output Is the Important feature for con sideratlon in this year's summary of production, it may be well to outline the conditions surrounding the marketing of this metal during the past few yean Copper ls such an essential war metal that all the Allied nations hod felt obliged to accumulate within their borders a sufficient supply ot tho metal for war needs for a considerable time in advance, in case transportation facilities should cease. The sudden coming of the Armistice in tho fall of 1918 found all the great nations with theso very largo stoclts ot copper on hand, and no further demand for war supplies. It was estimated roughly that the stocks on hand wero 'sufficient to supply tho demands on a peace basis for about two years without further production by tho mines. As a consequence of tho war tlie copper market ot tho world has been, during the wbolc of the year 1919, In a thoroughly demoralized condition and with no certainty as to the near future. During the latter part of the war tho market price of copper had been tlxod by the United States Government and, as the United States produces about two-thirds of the world's copper supply, the American price formed the basis of the world price. Tho price thus set during the latter months of lho war was .pound at New York. With tho sudden disappearance ot the cause of the great consumption, and with largo stocks already distributed, it becamo at once evident that the fixed war price could not he maintained. On tiro other hand, tho producers, who had greatly increased their plants and outputs unfler the pressure of war's demands, found themselves with Immense stocks on hand, and an accumulating Increased output which had been produced under war conditions as to costs, and which they could not sell, without a loss, for much below the fixed war price. The producers mado an attempt, through combination, to maintain the. fixed price, but the consumer did not have to buy, and consequently as a matter of fact, practically no sales took place for some months around tho end of 1918. Production Curtailed The great producers' combination Immediately set. about reducing their production to a point much below normal, hoping that tho Immediate coming of peace, with its expected greatly increased Industries and the rehabilitation from war devastations, would soon exhaust existing stocks, ' This hope was to a great extent frustrated by the unexpected delay in settling the pence terms, and the slowness with which tho expected rejuvenation of the pence industries has heen taking place, due to the almost universal social unrest. Tho burden of maintaining a profitable price over such an unexpectedly long timo became too great for the producers, and they wero, to a certain extent, forced to realize on their holdings at. a reduced market price. MOST FRAGRANT OF FLOWERS Tho Duke ot Rutland, who Intended to sell only half of his Haddon estate In Derbyshire, has now do- clded to sell nearly the whole of the 30,000 acres, reserving but u few fields round Haddon Hull, Stanton Woodhousc, and Longshaw Lodge. Our distinctions do not lie In the places wo occupy, but In the grace and dignity with which we fill them. —t'lmms. month of the yeur. Should this rise hot continue until It reaches the present, cost nf production, it will mean continued curtailment nf production and the eventual elimination of the less economically well-conditioned producers. Such is the uncertainty attending the market Conditions of tho near future, In tho light of which it is Impossible to predict, with any degree of certainty, what output in copper our British Columbia mines will mako during tho coming year. Should the market price improve somewhat, or should the items affecting the cost of production dim inlsh, we can confidently predict i much Increased otttptit, for the min es are in a position to make if, should the conditions render it commercially profitable so to do. The value of the products of the metalliferous mines this past year Is estimated to be about $20,095,057, a decrease of $7,815,221 ns compared with tho preceding year. This is almost entirely attributed to a decreased output of copper and a lower market price. for tho product, as has been already comment ed upon and further explained In the later notes on the metal. Outlook Reassuring Generally the outlook for 1920 Is most reassuring. Tbe opening of new camps In the Portland Canal district has.been the outstanding event of tbo past few months. There Is no doubt that this district will ho subjected to extensive prospecting and development this year. In short, thero Is every reason to ho] lovo that 1920 will he most important to the Province in point of mining develop ment. The pi*bducllon of gold, both plac- ' and lode, shows a decrease of ahottt $506,047, as Is fully pointed out ln tho detailed notes on that metal. With the value of the product fixed, while the ahnormally high prices of' all Items entering into the costs of production remain as thoy are, the condition of this branch of the industry never can he satis factory. The output of silver shows an increase both as regards quantity produced and tho value of lhe product. Silver Is tho only metal in the list the price of which may be considered abnormally high, and from. the present outlook this high price seems likely to continue for some years, lo the great advantage of the mines producing that metal, lu British Columbia our silver Is almost entirely derived from ores carrying also other metals which have not Increased in value. Tho production of lead shows a decrease, due partly to strikes at some of tbe larger producing mines, and on account nf the low prico of the metal due to an overstocked markot. As regards quantity, zinc shows a somewhat increased production as compared with 1918, but due to a. lower market price tho value of this year's product shows a decrease, A considerable portion of tho ore mined or concentrate's produced found their way to tho United States for smelting the returns from which can bo at present only bo estimated until final returns are received. Collieries Hold Their Own The collieries of tbe province about held their own as far as production wns concerned during the past year. Tho Cost\ collieries show on increase but the Crowsnest collieries show a slight decrease in coal produced and a large decreaso in the amount or coko produced, duo to a long-con tinned period of labour trouble, to some extent due to Iho large percentage of aliens employed in and about these mines. Due to this fact the total value of the products of (ho collieries appears to be this year about $357,718 less than in 1918. Increases In the selling-prices of coal have been allowed at various times in the past few years hy the Dominion Government Fuel Controller, until as nearly as can he calculated the average price ot coal for tbe year, over the Province as a while, has been about $5 a ton, and tho similar average price for coke about $7 a ton, +.. t- MIXERAL PRODUCTION FOR TWO YEARS The following table shows the quantities and valuo of the several minerals produced in the year 1918, and the estimated production in 1919.

Harvest is no sooner over than the outlook' for the next reason becomes a matter of interest discussion, not only hy the farmers, but by people in all sorts of vocations; business in all branches is largely dependent upon the returns from agriculture. It Is interesting, therefore, to note that G. R. Murnocli, pvisi- deni of the Lothbrldso Hoard of Trade, optimistically refers to tho 1920 prospects in his annual roport: There is a different fooling in the air altogether as lo tho buttock for the next season's crop, compared with what we felt during lhe winter uf 1918-19. There wero good rainfalls during September, tho precipitations at Lcibbridgo for that monlU being 2.04 inches. Then ''.here woro heavy snows in Octobur an.I November, which lay vory evenly, and all of Which, owing to tho favorable Chinook' winds that followed them, melted and found their way into the soil, Another snow storm early in December did not leave ;,o much in tho way of stored moisture, because tho snow drifted a nil before the wind came warm enough id melt It.

Quite Compatible With the German Idea of Honor Commanding officers of the German army and navy who declare that it would be quite compatible with "German honor" to violate the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles dealing with the extradition of the Germans who are to be brought before an international tribunal and tried for crimes committed during the war will find no one to dispute their contention. German "honor" isn't honor at all, any more than "kultur" is culture, Germans will only carry out clauses of the Treaty of Versailles to which they object if they are forced to do so, The fact that they have pledged themselves by signing the treaty to observe its provisions matters not at all, to the Germans. It matters to them no more than did the fact that they had signed the treaty providing for the neutrality of Belgium, the provisions of the agreement reached at The Hague for humane warfare and various other solemn documents. The signature of the German nation to a document isn't worth the paper- it's written on, unless someone has the power to force Germany to live up to its agreements. Events Often Disturb the Best Laid Plans • ____■ company that put up tlio Hotel Blltmoro and Bowman was to be its manager. A few months after the hotel was ready for occupancy Baumann died.

"Then ho branched out and now operates six great New York hotels— tho Blltmore, the Commodore, the Belmont, the Manhattan, the Murray IUU, and tho Ansonlo.

Iii memory of New Zealand heroes at Woking, near London. "I am an Abruzzese of Pescara," wrote Gabrielo d'Annunzio at tho agej of IC to tho literary critic Chiornl, when, sending him the first volume of his poems. Today Pescara is little more than a fishing village, though at the time of the Romans, under the name Atorno, on the Valerian Way, It wns a place of no small military importance. *Henam-| ed Pescara by the conquering Loin- bards, it retained Its huge fortress | and heavy ramparts and hero lato as tho nineteenth century were 1 herded the political prisoners of tho] Bourbons, weighted with chains, because they dared to think for tehm-l solves.

From c'hioli there . rolls away, to the distant blue, ef the Adriatic a wide plain inter-1 socted by a slim silvor ribbon; it is COMMUTATION, A TANGIBLE WAR MEMORIAL, There has been more discussion than the circumstances warranted concerning the statement of Secretary $lass of the United Staates treasury that there would be no more loans to European countries. Whether loans are made by the American people to Europe will not depend upon any declaration of policy or even upon any formulated policy, so much as upon commercial arid economic conditions. Hard facts, which aften change in their nature from day to day, have a habit of upsetting the most careful governmental calculations. Just now buying of cotton from the United States by British manufacturers has ceased and it will be at an end until there is a change in the sterling exchange situation. If the southern cotton planters suddenly find their best market shot to pieces the effect will be far more potent than any.declaration of policy by Secretary Glass. Cotton planters will learn that they can sell their cotton to Europe if Americans provide Europe with loans, or credits, which are the same thing. Producers of other articles in the United States will find that they are in the same position, that they can't sell their goods unless the exchange situation is relieved. Of course loans to Europe are only a temporary expedient, to carry the war-shattered countries over until they are able to stand on their own feet. The real remedy will only come through more production and harder work in Europe. But, of course, Europe can't bring its production back to normal in a day. -...£.- A Big Delegation for the Spokane Conventi ion A big delegation should go from Kootenay and Boundary to the mining convention at Spokane which takes place next week. It will be an opportune time to get in some preliminary boosting for the third annual British Columbia mining convention which will be held in Ncison in the spring. Much of the capital which has come into British Columbia mines has come through Spokane, which has always been deeply interested in the mines of Kootenay and Boundary. In fact, Spokane's first real growth was out of the wealth furnished bv the Rossland mines in the early days. An imposing delegation to the'Spokane convention from this district will be good advertising, it will enable the two districts to be brought more closely into touch with each other and it will be a friendly quid pro quo for the splendid manner in which Spokane has supported the mining convention at Nelson, TEN YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Daily News, Feb. 9, 1910) The thirteenth annual Itossland "Winter carnival opened „-re auspiciously today.

RATS DESTROYING ONE TWENTIETH OF SUGAR CROP It is estimated that rats destroy every yoar at* least a twentieth part of tho sugar canes in Jamaica, amounting ln value to little short of two hundred thousands pounds, Tho sugar cano is their favorite food; but they also enjoy Indian corn, all tho fruits that aro accessible to them, and mnny ot the roots. Some Idea can be formed of the Immense swarms of these destructive animals that Infest this island from the fact that on a single plantation thirty thousand wero destroyed in one year. Traps of various kinds are set to catch them, poison is resorted to, and terriers and sometimes ferrets are employed. They tire of a much larger size than tho European rat.—Family Herald.

Tho Boston public Latin school has been In Continuous existence since 1635. To tho Editor of Tlio Daily Nows: Sir;—Before returning to British Columbia last sprint' after a protracted stay across the waler, I made a farewell lour of ono of tho fairest of the soutnem counties of tho old land, and we visited many of the places witli which were associated many happy memories of boyhood days. Wherever my wandering stops led me, whether across the heather-capped hills and broad uplands, nr along the winding white roads which ran seawards, it was a very noticeable fact that even in the smallest hamlets and villages nosl- llng in llio rolling hollows of 'the. while ribbed downs, active preparations were being made—and in somo places even, had resulted in accomplished fact—to perpetuate In concrete form a lasting mem orial to "pur Glorious Dead" in the great war. It is the firm purpose of every community throughput the Island Kingdom that their village, town or city shall be suitably adorned with its precious table.l uf memory. Tin- ctiusualty lists published throughout the long years of stern conflict toll their own story of the terrible toll in human life, and are in themselves a guarantee that every community, however small, will have abundant cause to honor those "who died for England's sake." One can hardly doubt that any loss purpose fills the heart of every citizen in every community from Atlantic to Pacific tidewater In this groat Dominion, and that there is an anxious desire to commemorate the deliverance from a great danger by tho erection of a war memorial, to stand as a loving tribute to those who have made our peace and comfort secure, but who did not live to enjoy the fruits of their willing sacrifice. It will also stand as an eternal protest against tlie diabolical wickedness tit war. The purpose of this communica'-, tion, sir, is to ascertain If any organized communal effort has yet been made to give expression to our deepest thoughts, and, if so, then perhaps a measure of publicity is necessary so that the scheme can be royally supported. Thero is probably not 'a single man or woman who has not one or two or dozens of dead friends to remember an regret, and such war memorial will help to bring us once more Into the very presence of our im- Sorgotten friends. If, on the other hand, no definite action has yet been taken, then is not tho timo fully ripe for the matter to bo taken in hand and prosecuted to a successful and appropriate end? True we. know that the real memorial is not. In any building or tablet of stohe made with hands, but Is found In the souls of men, but it is a natural desire that there shall be conspicuous central war memorial Inscribed with the .•.,„„,,, of our fallen, as well as ony other record that may be deemed fitting. English Prefer Monuim-nts What form this idea of honor JT ,„Cad an<1 of ■-*•-• ■•*<•■-■<- tor which they fought should take Is a matter for public sentiment to decide, it is generally admitted that a memorial shoulct be utilitarian as well as monumental, but over thero in England public opinion has do- creed that preferment shall be given to a monumental record, and that any other form „f expression of gratitude shall be considered its' stip- P ementary. ,„ ,„„„,„_ [o V. hiust not forget l„ look back.

LORD MONTAGUE ONCE EARNED A TANNER Lord Montague of ^eaullou, who served as a volunteer locomotive engineer during the recent railway strike in Great Britain, tells of his experiences in the November Nineteenth Cenutry, Here are some of them: "During my experience between Bournemouth, Eastlelgh and Waterloo there were, ot course, unexpected land amusing incidents. One was when an old lady' came up to mc at. Waterloo, and after a good deal I of fumbling In a black handbag; gave me sixpence, remarking ln a motherly tone: 'Well .done, young man, I | am so glad ybu are defying your union.' Again, two children came I up, and one said: 'Driver, wo haven't | got any money to spare, but, hero are two apples.' Thus ago and youth No more trips to tho westward 111 be made by the Dora, a storied (tie steamer which for years has raved the bad waters lying off Sat remote part of Alaska west of eward, strung out along the main lind, Unalaska, and the Aleutian Hilands. . .The,, boat has been taken irom the westward run and sent to ISeattlo? J Alaskans will miss the Dora, for uring these many years they have ome to look to her for almost verytl)ing. The hundreds she had ir arried back and forth will regret thought alike. It was symbolic. The • learn of her passing from the run. j pul)ll0 aimost always subscribed a To tne fishermen, prospector* and,considerable amount of money at ||n'tives of* the westward, the Dora 'as the newspaper, the grocery boy, I he, mail carrier, the supply bearer 1 nd even a Santa Claus. Every ! ear, Just beforo . Christmas, she I niuie it a point to leave Seward time to get the Christmas mail | nil packages west before the holi ay' Children of the westward were ' Wmed after the boat their parents *ad come' to loves. It is said there '• hardly a town or fishing village 1 ll if the run that cannot boast ot at [past one girl christened Dora. tfor over thirty-five years th [jpora's run * has been in northern Ivajtors. It has been claimed she iterated on the most northerly [vlntcr route in the world, the 15th if'each month leaving Seward on a bqo-mllo trip to Dutch Harbor, jjhimak Pass, and other points and melt. Once tn a while she would I'enture north into the Bering Sea frith supplies. ji, The log of the Dora was one terminal stations, mostly from 'thirds, in coppers and small money, which ] shows how grateful people were for' any train and to any driver who would take them along to their destinations. "One naval" officer at Waterloo said to me an arrival there: 'Thlt. is the happiest day of my life!' 'Why?' said I. 'Because I'm to bo married today, and if I hadn't been able to get up this morning I shouldn't have been in time.' People waved handkerchiefs from windows, and allotment-holders waggled spades and forks at passing trains. There was, once more the tingle of war in the air, the'feeling of the nation attack- cd and compelled to defend itself. "The comparative desertion of the line led to wild animals and birds beginning to use the permanent way in a manner I had never seen before, and one morning, coming up to London, I put up on the 'road' no fewer than five coveys of- partridges between Winchester and Basingstoke."

A new way of spreading Canadian patriotism by means of the Union Jack has boen bit upon by the department of education in Alberta. Tlio national colors are tu be flung from every school house in the province, but only at intervals long tiough to make tlio peopio wonder why. Two days each month, or about twenty times in tho school year, aro all that will see tho flag in action, and those days will be chosen for some good and sufficient reason. What that reason is the children will tell when they go home at night. That is how the lesson of patriotism is to be kept in circulation and the whole community stirred to a new interest in the flag and what it stands for. The new flag policy of the Alberta government has just boen announced by the minister of education, Hon, George P. Smith. It is to be put into effect at tho beginning of the new year. The government will supply a flag of uniform size and quality to each school, the cost to be deducted ultimately from the government school grant. Tt will then bo required of each school district to erect a flag pole and otherwise to provide for the proper care of tho colors. Ordinarily the flag wili be displayed on the school room walls, but twice a month, on the days appointed, it will be raised on the flagpole outside, to tho accompaniment of a simple but impressive ceremony. A textbook is being prepnrod con tabling historical sketches that will be read to tho school children each flag day. These will tell why the day was so selected, the goneral' theory of tho selections being anniversary occasions of dates when the British peopio made some unselfish contribution to human liberty and world welfare. The children will be encouragotl to write essays about tbe day and its doings ami to talk about it when they got homo. The Alberta educationalists bo- llevc that in this way a deeper interest in the national colors will be simulated than if they are floated ti the -breeze ovory day. Mr. Smith gives it as his opinion that too much flag-waving is a blatant kind of patriotism that does not accomplish much of lasting value, but hc expects that by making tho occasional flag displays into impressive ceremonies of this kind a hotter and more permanent end will be served. The scheme anticipates a now popularity for tho Union Jack throughout Alberta, with all the countrysides Intelligently interested in the flag days at school.

Monday Morning, FeEraai'v 9, 152$ General News of the City Explorer of Malay Peninsula ■ Gave Three Addresses in Nelson Yesterday Large congregations hoard Carveth Wells, tlio jungle explorer, yesterday, in the Anglican. Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Tho subject of his address in the Presbyterian Church was the religious customs and superstitions of Chinese, Hindus, Malays and Jungle dwarfs, .\ vivid description was give>n of a Chinese temple swarming with tortoises and snakes, while Mr, Wells' humorous description of al Chinaman saying bis prayers, caused much amusement, li appears lhat, having said his prayers, .lohn Chinaman throws up into ihe air the two halves of a large wooden kidney bean, watching eagerly which way they fall. If they fall flat-side down, his prayer has 'been granted, H they fall round-side down, lie Throws them up once more, repeating the process until his prayer is granted, which Is simply a, matter nf perseverance. Hindu Pardon Tho Hindu's method of obtaining remission of tholr sins apparently ■ did not appeal to the congregation. The following arc merely suggest! ins which have very efficient results among Indian sinners socking pardon: (ij—Lie on a bed of iron spikes Tor li) years. If this does not answer: (2) cover your body with ten thousand fish hooks. Should this fair to produce tho desired pardon; i'3) Drag your children through the streets in a cart which is attached liy means of a chain to a largo iron hoolc stuck through tho flc-my part of your back. Or as a last resource; U) take a walk with bard feet upon a bod of red hot charcoal. Something is sure to happen then. Mr. Wells'- description of Mecca and tho King or the Hedjaz, was very interesting. Mecca to Moham- cdans Is what Jerusalem is to Chtst- lans, excepting that no Christian is permitted to enter Mecca, whereas Jerusalem swarms with Mohamedaris Jungle Dwarfs and Hell The .Inngle dwarf appears to haw quite a modern idea of hell. On dying, lho spirits of departed dwarfs have to cross a cauldron of boiling water, by walking on the blade of a slnirp sword. Good dwarfs manage io cross the cauldron into Heaven on iho other side. Bad ones fall into the pot. There they remain tlioy show signs of purification, when thoy aro ladled out and allowed to enter heaven. Today and tomorrow Mr. Wells is to speak in the city schools. Tonight and tomorrow night he will show his colored jungle pictures in the Presbyterian church under tlie aiispi.es nf tbe Ladles' Aid society. Mrs. Wells will appear in Malay costume. At 4.Iii P.m. there will he matinee for children.
