The little Danish steamer Mary, bound from New Orleans and un the way to Anrhuus, Denmark, picked the men up and continued on her • northward voyage. Lacking a wireless oultit the captain of the steamer was obliged to withhold tho good tidings of the rescue until he was opposite Butt of Lewis, where the Information was .signalled by means of flags, thai Hawker and Grieve wero aboard his ship. Immediately word was sent to tho British admiralty, which sent out de stroyors to overtake the Danish vessel. One ol! the destroyers took thc airmen off and later transferred them to the flagship* Revenge. Prom this safe haven Hawker sent a message to iglu that his machine had stopped wing to the blocking of the water circulation system. u lieu she got away, Hawker let loose his wheels and undergearlng, thereby lightening the weight of thc ljichlne by a considerable amount, ut making a possible lauding on thu spot in Ireland a dangerous venture, j ..is, however, probably proved of much advantage when it became necessary lo alight on the surface of the water. The airplane remained afloat without difficulty during the hour and half it took the Danish steamer to ome up and effect a rescue All England is stirred by the news of tho safety of iheso two stout-hearted iviators, but owing to the difficulties of communication, some time must pass before the full details of the most remarkable voyage ever ' undertaken are known.

The first report of the aviators since their famous jump-off last Sunday came when the Mary, which was bound from Norfolk to Anrhuus. rounded the Hutt of Lewis today ami wigwagged the fact lhat she had Hawker and Grieve aboard. "Saved hands off Sopwith ; plane," was the signal. "Is it Hawker?" was the question told by the flags from the Butt, whieh is the most northwesterly point of the He"! rides group off Scotland. "Yes," laconically replied tbe steamer. The Admiralty immediately t out a tasl torpedo boat destroyer, an endeavor to intercept the Mary and take off the aviators. There was un anxious wait for several hours when the word was flashed thai the destroyer had come across the steamer aad transferred Hawker and Grieve and was taking them Thurso, on the northern coast of Scotland, about 100 miles east of the Butt of Lewis. The destroyer, the Revenge, ports to the Admiralty this evening that Hawker and Grieve would stop on board tonight. The aviators will at oVIo Tuesday; reach London evening. The pews of the rescue has electrified ail Britain, Light destroyem fter a thorough search of ihe Atlantic for ;i'fu miles from the Irish coast had given up the quest, and thero was practically no hope that the alr- riien were alive.

The admiralty immediately dispatched destroyers from northern points tu Intercept the Mary and the Daily Mall instructed all signal stations in try tu communicate with the captain, that it wus urgent to land the aviators at some Senttisli port, The admiralty acceded and a message was sent to the destroyer Wool- sun late in the evening, that sho should overtake the Mary and should transfer the aviators. Nothing except some great battlo he- excited London more, than today's unexpected tidings. The publio was disposed to furcation whether tho first report couhf be trusted, and the admiralty statement that It 'wast taking measures to verify the report indicated doubt which the Woolsun's message dispelled. 1 In Ll of Lewis is the ex t renin northern point of the Hebrides, ot'C the west coast nf Scotland.

("Continued from Page One) and kjiII in ahout fmn- days for England. Notables on Board Several notable Canadians were on board, among whom was Mr. Lloyd Harris senior member of the Canadian trade mission to Great Britain and Europe. He 1ms been abroad on the business of Canada since December und returns to report progress officially nnd to address a series uf public meetings throughout Canada on trade possibilities and necessities. Particularly he wants to impress the point that while the government has done well in arranging credits with certain countries, yet the amount of business being offered is greater than the government by Itself can he expected to take care of. He desires to get thc people of Canada to organize themselves by trades and arrange the credits necessary to take care of the further business being offered across the seas. He declares that the shipping control board in Great Britain has met tbe representations of the Canadian trade mission and made refrigerator space on board the trans-Atlantic liners open to the trade. Tills for many months after ihe armistice was signed wns th*1 great obstacle in Canada's negotiating for a larger share of European trade. Now that {this is removed and shipping is easier, tho prospects for trade botween Canada and Europe are greatly Increased. What Mr, Harris has been able to accomplish overseas affects the. industrial life of Canada beneficially. In particular he has been a business scout surveying the chances for Canadian trade. He hwi visited the countries of Europe, met the representatives of tho.se countries in Paris and London, and has advised the Canadian government as lo what steps should be taken touching credits and tbe development of trade. He has been a real trade ambassador, the first one Canada has ever had, and has won tbe confidence of the trade ambassadors of other eoun- 'tries to the lasting good of Canada and Canadian goods. In international trade, as in other trades, confidence is the foundation stone. While Canadian troops have let Europe and all the world know what stuff Canadians are made of, yet It remained for Lloyd Harris to acquaint Europe in detail with what Canada ran produce, can sc-«. nnd ship and what her industrial aims are. The whole industrial field of Canada has been laid before these countries by Mr. Harris and bis associates, who know the facts. On this foundation, bargain and sale have been effected by Canada under the terms of the credits extended to Rumania and other countries. His work has been to organize the Canadian trade mission In London and Europe, to get information as to trade opportunities, to furnish information as to Canada's capacity to supply foodstuffs, raw materials and manufactured goods, to arrange the basis of credits and to institute a policy of rigorous, independent inspection as a protection to both buyer and seller. With Great Britain and Europe In a turmoil owing lo the unexpected cessation of hostilities, with every country suddenly faced with toward problems, domestic and inter- nntiolal, it has been no easy (ask for the Canadian trade mission in London to make progress; yet definite ami concrete progress has been made and the outlook for continued trade lu Canadian goods is excellent. Mr. Lloyd Harris' mission has been to introduce Canadian products into foreign countries, and thus to aid tn keeping the wheels of Canadian Industry going, in order that employment might be given to Canadian workmen. He has had to protect the value of the credits given by Canada and also protect the buyer. It has been found necessary to sell by the group representation method in order to facilitate trade. This in a great measure has eliminated competition. It has resulted in the insistence upon Impartial, independent expert selec tlon; price fixation and inspection of goods, in order that the buyer might he protected. At the same time. Canadian sellers have been counselled not to expect unreasonable profits through tlie credits established and tlie trade arranged by the Canadian government. All the circumstances warrant the most moderate profit. All these things have been done 'on the principle that the future business of Canada with European countries depends upon the method Canada now uses and the real value given to tbe buyer. While the European buyer has to buy quickly, hit-: needs must not lie taken advantage of by the seller. II is the business of the Cnnadlan trade mission to see to that, and they will be aided by the sellers In the interests ot permanent Canadian foreign trade. The Canadian trade mission has been greatly aided by th« services of H. B. Thomson, who arrived in London before Mr. Harris left, and whose knowledge of thc distribution of goods in Canada" is expected to aid' In placing orders with greater dispatch aad arranging shipments with more surety. Mr. Harris is of the opinion that not only must Canadian industry sell goods to foreign countries, but at the same time sell service. More than anything else at the present time countries like Rumania, Servla and Greece need leadership, even mothering, and the Canadian business man who sells goods to these countries will be. well advised to personally see that they are up to standard, that they are delivered on time and that they are devoted to the purposes for which they were brought. If he can employ an expert to accompany his goods ho will do much in satisfying his customers and creating further orders. In this age of competition "Service" should be jtbe watchword In Canadinn foreign trade. > Mr. Harris accentuates the idea that every package of Canadian gpods bearing the trade mark of Canada should contain only goods Aeroplane Linen BV CHANCE WE GOT 3 BOLTS OF LINEN STRAIGHT FROM BELFAST REAL IRISH UNBLEACHED LINEN When the Armistice was signed the British Government cancelled the contracts for Linen for Aeroplanes.

SMILLIE & WEIR of the highest standard of quality. 11 Is by quality and service that Canada can obtain and hope to maintain its foreign trade now opening up so well across the water. Canadian soldiers on the front line in the recent war made an enviable name for themselves. It is now the privilege of Canadian business men to emulate Ihe example by making Canadian goods the standard throughout the world. The Canadian government, through the Canadian trade mission In London and Europe, can do much to lay the foundation for foreign Irade, but In the final analysis the Canadian commercial traveller and salesman should be on the ground to tako advantage of the work done by the Canadian trade mission. In business there is nothing like personal con-1 tact between buyer and seller. Other, things being equal, the seller who. Is on the ground with tho buyer can; do better than the seller who Is three thousand miles away, although he may be represented hy some of the most capable business men of j Canada associated with the Canadian trado mission. The world has] broadened since the war, and the large industry in Toronto or Montreal or Winnipeg will find it advisable to have Its representative in London or Paris or some other European capital to do business on the spot with countries that want to buy.

WHAT MILK AS A FOOD MEANS TO THE PEOPLE In the report of the New York Farmers' Institutes, the committee on milk as a food reports the following conclusions'. 1. No food Is of greater importance to the welfare of tlie country—both at this lime and in the future—than milk, and alt possible st'-ps should be taken to maintain the present milk supply. 2. Special effort should be made to acquaint the public with the high value of milk as a food and with its especial value to littl children as a source of protein, lime, and two unknown substances which are necessary for health and growth. .1. That at prevailing prices milk is tlie cheapest animal food. 4. The public must he educated to an understanding of the eonditi ns that govern the cost of milk and to an appreciation of the iie cosily for paying a fair price fnt' It if the supply is to be maintained. 5; Milk must be regarded as a solid food and as a welcome substitute for meat. 6. The value of milk as a milk- producing food should lie recognised in the dietary of the nursing mother. 7. That mothers be trained to an appreciation of making milk an im- Blyo milk in food to those persons ulu don't drink milk. 12. That milk Is a food l.ndlng i: self to conservation of time, labor aii( fuel, since it may bo eaten raw. 13. That the making of t.read wltl milk or whey should be. i ncouing.'d since it improves tho value of lh< bread as a food. 14. That infoimatlon on milk food be distributed through as manj channels as possible. Source materia on milk' as a fond is now availabh and should be procured. and will probably decide to support the side which gains first success in [ portant feature in the diet of all grow tho operations which are about to ing children. commence.

ONE DROWNS WHEN COAST SCHOONER WRECKS VICTORIA, B.C., May 25.—Albert Crane lost bis life by diowning and two others of the crew of the Vancouver fishing schooner Madelin -• Dyke had a narrow escape from death in tho wreck and total loss of the vessel off Triangle Island Saturday morning. Tiie schooner last night anchored at Triangle but a gale springing up early in the morning the ve.-sel was blown out to sea. Her plight became so perilous that tt was decided to abandon her, and two of the crew were able to make their way ashore in a small boat which wns eairi?d aboard. How Crane lost his life Is not described in the wireless message received here. A thorough search of the beach was made for tbe body but without success. Tho other m mhers of the crew are being cared for at the Triangle wireless station. 8. That since milk is so easily contaminated, there should be no relaxation in the effort to produce ckan milk. 0. Thc public should begin to make plans that would insure a supply of milk to the children of the coun'ry. 10. That practical efforts should be made to overcome the prejudice many persons have against milk by showipg them a variety of ways of using it. 11. That greater effort be made to MAIL STEAMER AGROUND.

VANCOUVER, li. .(.;., May 25.—A new '"method of treating copper ores- has been established hero Which, it is believed, will increase the percentage of recoverable metal, at a lower cost than by any other system. Recent tests Indicate that the process will extract values from ores formerly considered useless, The invention is konwn as the Lock wood-Dai- zeil copper recovery process. ' By the new method tedious and expensive still leaching, requiring from one to two weeks for a single cycle of operation, is replaced by a process effecting a high recovery from any kind of ore in 24 hours. Test runs havo returned ns high as :>0.i per cent from retractory ores, varying from six-tenths'of 1 per cent to 2.71 per cent in copper. Ono of thc greatest advantages seen in tho discovery Is tne economical cost of installation. A plant can be established at tbe mine, thereby elim inating the necessity of paying freight on one shipments. Small mine operators sec in the process an opportunity to cash In on* holding^ on which they were previously unable io break even, it is believed that the method will revolutionize tho metal industry in tbe province. For the big concerns, handling thousands of tons of ore a day, and extracting copper to hundreds of tons, recovery methods witli a maximum efficiency of 06 to 75 per cent of the copper content will, it is believed, re- tiro before ihe method returning from !)0 per cent upward; ot a cost from 11} to 25 per cent lower than under tho present order. detOXS ■■3*jiHB||, mi mm E \V.

Is, We have private ownership of sonic railways and wc have public ownership of others, both existing in the con try now. Tho fact that the country has been compelled through the financial failure of some systems to take them over In order to prevent thum. from falling into utter dismantle is one thing, bul that is quite a dil'fer- •nt problem from tho question of u lermuneijt policy of government owned ind government managed railways..

GOOD OLD KASLO It was good to see Kaslo resume Its May 24 celebration on Saturday. For 20 years until 1918 Kaslo's "Victoria day celebration was one of the big holiday events of the year in Kootenay and Boundary. It;*,-attracted visitors from-tnnrty parts of the district. Everyone looked forward to it. In 1918, owing to war conditions, the celebration did not tako place. But this year it has been resumed and, while the celehrntlon on Satur* day wns on a smaller scale than in the past, the people of Kaslo as hosts displayed tho same spirit of hearty welcome to visitors as in the past and mode every effort to make their visit enjoyable. The people of the district will look forward to many another May celebration at tho good old city Kaslo. THE BROAD GAUGE POLICY THE SOUND ONE IS When President Beatty of the Canadian Pacific railway told those at tho banquet at the Hume hotel on Saturday that the prosperity and development of the Canadian Pacific depended upon the prosperity and development of the country generally he stated an axiom which applies to every solid business ln tho country. No sound, permanent business can prosper unless the country prospers. And it is also true that tho country as a whole and its people cannot prosper unless the business of thc country as a whole prospers. The day of narrow gauge "going it alone" without regard to thc wel- fale or prosperity of the other fellow and It is to be are ciisup pea ring, hoped they are going tor all time, it is gratitylng to have a public expression along these lines trom the Jieau ot a great and successful transportation company like the Cauauian i-aeiiic, which lias played a gigantic part in tbe development of Canada anu can piay an even more important part, in tne tutuiu tlon of tho alien allies and enemies in Canada. The War Veterans nsked that the alien ally be asked to do his bit shoulder to shoulder with true Canadians, and that the alien enemy be interned or deported. Did they do this? No. It lias been shown throughout the Dominion that the capacity of production has been greatly hindered by tho refusals of Germans and Austrians to work full time. Also, ln many cases wheru they refused to contribute to any war patriotic funds or in any way help to carry on the great conflict other than to earn a fat wage, which Immediately was cached or spent among themselves in such low foreign dives as you will find in any of our great cities. The Canadian Government pointed out the chief trouble In dealing with the aliens was because of labor's attitude and the International law. The bold and dangerous effort which is being made to establish Bolshevism in the Dominion of Canada Is nothing more nor less than a movement by thc alien, who, of course, can look far enough ahead to realizo that if something is not done In his behalf, that he must leave the country eventually. Aided by a few pro-German and cold- footed so-called citizens, they aro indeed making a good showing for the triumph of the Bolshevist movement In Canada. It appears that the greater part of tho Canadian propaganda Is conceived in Detroit and Seattle, and that a major part of the so-called Gallcians, Ukrainians and other scum aro In reality Austrian or German citizens, and that the doctrines of Troesky and Lenine are closo at heart. Who, indeed, oro tho aliens in our midst but the cast-off of Europe who are endeavoring to make this fair Canada a kennel like such countries as RuHsia and Germany. When we have a state of government such as they were used to we will indeed have something over which to kick. In my estimation this is a much hotter country than Russia today, and aro free-minded and loyal Canadians going to allow the riff-raff and Ignorant to drag this country odown to the level of horror and blood shed which was so lately demonstrated on the fields of France and which was caused by the plutocrats, A great deal of bosh has been preached during tho last few years about the ideals of true democracy— not by the men who died and shod their blood for the freedom of Canada, and al] by the absolute opponents of true demoevracy—men who until now»| havo had little trouble in making the big bluff, but now find themselves face to face with the problem of real democracy. Of one thing I am certain; true democracy and Bolshevism will not mix. Could you expect a soldier to intermingle and associate wilh the same class of men against whom they wero recently carrying a rifle and sword- men who carried the sword and torch against defenceless women and innocent children. Men who betrayed every humano law of Ood and man. Men who were devoid of all sense of honor, decency or respect for the old or defenceless. It Is high timo the government of Canada would do something to curtail this kind of thing and get a firm understanding as to what is to be done. Delay is dangerous and even now Bolshevism and revolution is rampant in our country. Better to carry a gun and fight than bo subject to thc demands of a few fanatics. The loathsomeness of the Russian brand of Bolshevism will make us foes to every thought of it. Well we know of Its origin, its slimy trail of blood and filth'. We also know of the clique which endorses tyid countenances the Bolshevist in Canuda.; agents of treachery and sedition, while we have been overseas fighting for God knows what If this state of thing is allowed to carry on.

COLD STORAGE. At a dinner given by the prime minister of a little kingdom which shall be nameless, a distinguished diplomat complained to his host that the minister of justice, who had been sitting on Jiis left, had stolen his watch. "Ah, he shouldn't have done that," said the prime minister, in tones of annoyance; "1 will get It back for you." Sure enough toward the end of the evening thc watch was returned to its owner. "And what did he say?" asked the diplomat. "Sh-h," cautioned the host, glanc ing anxiously about him. "He doeBn't know that I've got It back." COMMUNICATION. To The Editor, . Nelson Daily News; Sir;—In the year 1918 the Canadian government asked members of the Great War Veterans Association to •confer with them on the great ques- Among a squad of policemen who were being examined on ambulance work was one -to whom the doctor put the following questions: Doctor—What would you do to a man who had a cut on the forearm?

PolIcem»n—Ice, sorr, (Special Correspondence of Thc Lon-' don Times.) First impressions nre supposed to be false, but experience is that they are always interesting to those who conceive them. I arrived here only a few- days ago, and write with the feeling that I know all about the place, its hopes and Its despairs, its inspirations and its resoluteness; probably some one who has been here more than a few dnys will reply that I know nothing of the truth; but, then, that is human nature. Tlie spirit of contradiction is a human concomitant of vanity, and nothing gives the average man greater pleasure than to impose his superior knowledge on another. Before leaving England I shnred the gencrul belief In England that expeditions, military or otherwise, were sent to the Kola Peninsula to be forgotten, or for some unrecorded sin. Murmansk, if my history serves me was once a penal settlement. I am not certain. Anyway, It deserves to have been. What the future may have for it I cannot say, but at present it is a town of wooden huts built by Russians, insreased and improved on by the British and the Allied troops. It lies about 30 miles due south from the Gulf stream, is said to be a perfect harbor in that a battleship can moor alongside, and has the distinction of having been coveted by the Germans, when they were anxious to establish a submarine base from which they might reconnoitre tho North Sen. I was nsloep when we left thc open sea and entered tho inlet; 1 was awakened by a crunching, grinding noise that hurried me to porthole. We wero scraping our way through the icefloes, and there was a bite in the morning air that reminded us of what wo had left in the study at home. It was always good to nose one's way into strange port nnd pick out, first of all the British flag. Here the harbor was alive with shipping, but not thc shipping that one looks for on the "line." Nothing of your dainty Ilmmcd yachts and stately liners; no color at all—only dirty black and dirtier white, with the gloomy H.M.S. Glory and tho old RusBian battleship Askold to relieve thc monotony. Ugly bull-dog nosed tugs snapped viciously at the Ice; thc Josephine, once, 1 believe, the private yacht of Mr. Rockefeller, and said to be a floating draw- ng room in the dear dead days, lay sullen and moody, wilh her boom snapped short and her sides grazed and dented. .From the decks of our ship wo could catch only a glimpse of her one-lime pristine glory—the upholstery of the bridge—but the duchess had become a slut, and a vicious, ill- tempered slut, with a foul-looking gun leering over her bows. A Frozen Harbor. Thc Old Glory—she must be .nearly 20 years of age—lay in the middle of tho harbor, apparently frozen in; the Askold, known to every sallorman as the Woodbine, because of her fivo funnels, crouched like a hen on an ley nest a cable's tow behind her. Away to the north the snow capped mountains showed like clouds through the morning mist. Murmansk lies in a cup of tho hills, and if you would conjure up somo impression of the place, iccall the tales of Bret Harte with the rude shanties and thc polyglot crowd that inhabited them. The railway that somse from.the Archangel-Petrograd line, 500 miles duo south, sweeps round the edge of the water to tho quay sidbj on the snow-covered slopes of the hills is the town, and in that town arc Americans, Russians, Italians, French, Serbians, Karellans, Finns, Letts, Lithuanians and Chinese. And British. Always British. "For never an isle so little and never a sea so lone." You know thc rest. Let me go buck to the ship that brought us out, because, somehow I fancy that a few notes about her company will dispel tho prevailing idea at homo that people are sent out hero so that they may be forgotten. I find that in my notes I havo written: / "Wo aro on our way to another war, j a war, so different from those that* havo gone before during the last few years that on this ship wc hear men who havo brushed shoulders with the death in Franco and Flanders asking of subalterns returning from leave, "Give us an idea of the stunt. How about frostbite? What aro theso Bolshevists, and how do they fight? I scraped my gear together In a hurry becuuse I didn't want to miss tho chance of another fight; will you cust your eye over It and see if there's anything missing that might bo worth whilo?" The Promise of Adventure On tho ship there wasn't a man who hadn't done something. One' morning, aftor wc had cleared thc mine fields that make of the grey North Sea a bed of treachery, I saw four men taking walking exercise on the bridge deck. They wore men with laughter in their eyes and voices; they wore as boys who come down to the station, arm-in- arm, when the term is ended and all the promise of adventure lies in tho days of holiday ahead. One bore tho decoration of the V.C. the others, "out" In the sombre days of '14, showed the ribbons of the Military Cross and Mons. My companion drew my attention to them, saying, "Good boys—eh?' Which is a compliment that they themselves would have appreciated, since It came from J. H. Mather, who was with Scott on that fateful adventure in the Antartic. Mather is coming out to Murmansk as a major, in khaki; Just for a little while ho has forsaken tho blue of the R.N.V.R. He ought to be able to calm the fears of the V.C.'s and M.C.'s who are not quite happy in their minds about the climate of the Murman coast. And F. E. C. Davies (now a warrant officer) is with us. He. too, was with Captain Scott, and one of the memories that I shall always treasure of this trip Is the way in which these two sidle up to each other, out of the press of other men, and yarn about the days when they looked at each other1 through an atmosphere that was 60 below zero iSir Ernest Shackleton, Dr. Mucklln, Hussey Stcnhouse and Brocklehurst, of that other, exped!

My impression of him is that he would listen patiently to a disquisition on the art of peeling an orange during dinner and go away with the other man's secrets in his pocket, so to speak. Captain J. F. Warton, R.N., is going to the Glory, to join Admiral Green. I fancy that the Glory is going to play a big part in the Archangel operations. Col, E. L.

R.A.M.C., comes out special mission. Captain C. McVean Gubhins. M.C., whose father I met at the British Embassy in Tokyo at the end of the Russn-Japanesh War, is going out as aide-de-camp to Gen.1 Ironside, commanding the Archangel forces. Major H.

And sc back to the day of landing. Major-General C. M.

Officers and men have toiled under conditions that France never offered. Hospitals and stores havo been built by the light of flares, since there is a season in this latitude when the sun goes to sleep for a long, long while. In subsequent articles I shall hope to tell you of what Englishmen, with their allies, have done In this connection: they havo done it without the hope of joying in the glamour thnt touched the wars In France. Perhaps, they have felt that they might have had greater assistance, but they are soldiers, and are entitled to a grumble. The engineers have worked like trojans from the beginning, and officers and men have shared the labors of building. Strange that on the first day ! should meet on old * friend of mine, Major Stanley Monck, R.E., whom" I hnd not seen for a long, long while, We both of us were muffled up ln the garb that Is fashionable, and Just for a moment there was a doubt in each mind that things were as they were.

Reading's Bit Well Done. Lord Reading has done his part in winning thc war, and he has done it well. In the first two years of the struggle, besides being Lord Chief Justice of England, he was thc principal financial adviser to Lloyd George, who was then chancellor of the exchequer, ond is credited with having devised those methods of financing that havo resulted in the British Empire emerging from the war in a sounder economic position than any other- belligerent or neutral, with tho exception of the United States, which bore only a tithe of her burden. In 1916 he was sent to the United States to negotiate loans for the British and French governments. This was a difficult task. There was pro-German propaganda to be overcome, and the military position of Germany at that time made lenders chary, while the money market conditions were generally un favorable. Tet Lord Reading sue ceeded, despite Henry Ford's mem- eroable suggestion that the borrowers ought to be tin-canned. The next year he returned again as British High Commissioner, and on tho dca-th of Sir Cecil Spring Rice was given the additional honor and burden of the American ambassadorship. May Try the Kaiser But so greatly was his counsel in demand that last full he was summoned home to consult with tho British government on the peace terms, and for several weeks he was busy in Paris as a member uf the commission for the feeding of the European neutral and enemy nations, A short time ago ho again returned to tho United States, but simply -to close his desk and say good-bye. He was urged by the BrltlHh government to continue thc post, and thc American government, it is hinted, made similnr representations, but Lord Reading's henlth cannot face the continued strain, and he returns to resume his office as Lord Chief Justice. It may be, indeed, that ho will be one of the interniitional court thnt will try the ex-kaiser.

A Master of Tact Tact appears to lie al thc bottom of Lord Reading's success at Washington. This gift he dowered with to an extraordinary degree. It is especially desirable in tho British representative at Washing-ton, for while he ls on a slightly different footing from all other ambussadors, his privileged position makes it all tl)e more necessary that he shall live up to a higher standard than is demanded of others, A "break" on -the part of some ambassadors might be excused on the ground that they were unfamiliar with certain American prejudices or conditions. Jt would not thus be forgiven in a British ambassador. Moreover, personal relations enter Into Washington diplomacy to a greater extent than In any other great capital. It is ono of Lord Reading's gifts lhat he has been able in a remarkably short space of -time to get on terms of friendship and intimacy with tho leading men in American public life, Maybe the fact that he is a great lawyer, and thus has been able to make use of the legal freemasonry in a country where, every lawyer Is a politician, has helped him greatly READING MADE J Hil AS.

Two disadvantages had to be met and overcome by Lord Heading. In tho first place, he was known lo be ono of tho greatest lawyers ln Great Britain, tho greatest with tho exception of Sir Edward Carson. This fact might well havo created tho impression that he had been chosen tor his aDllity to "put something over" and would have tho natural tendency of making the Americans, with whom ho came ln contact, rather wary and reserved. In the next place he had had no diplomatic experience, surely a grave disability at a time when thc most delicate negotiations were on foot. The fact that Lord Beading is a Jew may also have had some influence, for while this would aid him among the Jews, and would he particularly valuable ln financial negotiations, it might not prove an asset with other, not qulto free from ami-Jewish prejudices.

KASLO. May 25.—Although it was not a celebration in tbe same sense as efforts put forth some years ugo. Empire day was recognized in Kaslo, anything in the nature of a celebration having been arranged at the eleventu hour. It was not until the miii--. of last week that a special boat from Nelson bad been arranged so that the time lo arrange anything In the way of sports was neces- sirily short. Notwithstanding this, the day prov- d successful, for although it was no large crowd that went from Nelson md neighboring points to tbe main lake city, each and ail expressed themselves as having had a pleasant iiillng and a holiday.

Visitors Who came ln the previous evening by boat and train made a total of about two hundred on hand from outside for tbe day. The main event on the somewhat impromptu program was the ball game between Kaslo .'ind Nelson In the afternoon. It proved very satisfactory to the must enthusiastic fans on both' sides and until near-the end nt least could be classed as ''good ball." No runs were scored on either side until the fifth inning. Kaslo about that time got in one run, whicli was followed closely by two for Nelson. In the seventh and eighth the Nelson boys somehow went to pieces and player after player of the Kaslo aggregation romped home amidst the enthusiastic cheers of tlie home teams' supporters, Tlie score at tbe end o£ tlie game stood 2-7 in favor of Kaslo.

LOOK OVER PROPERTY IN THE WANETA DISTRICT WANETA, I3.C.. May 22.—W. .1. E. Miker, district engineer ol' the provincial water blanch aud Engineer Swan, of tlie Dominion service, were in the valley on an inspection trip last week. A party of Spokane mining men looked over the iron deposits near tlie mouth of the Salmon river on Friday. Sergt. II. I'. ICingwell brought in his brother. Lieut, Eric Klngwtll, on Monday to look over some lands ill thc valley. Lieut. Kingwell has lately returned from service In France with tlie railroad troops. A large number of ranchers arc shipping cream to the Nelson creamery. In no recent year has grass and foliage in tlie valley been as luxuriant as nt present. Early potatoes are well above the ground and tlie field corn is already sprouting. Dr. J. li, Thorn, liealth officer, inspected the Nine Mile Creek school on Friday. Alan Merry witli his family motored out from Trail on Tuesday. "Now." :-'ald the lfiedltail officer to thc recruit," having taken your height and chest measurement, wc will next try the scales." "O, Lardy," yelled the astonished boy, "I didn't know a fellow had to know bow to sing in order to git into Ibis here army." Optimistic Note Is Sounded at Banquet to President of C.P.R. (Continued from Page Three.) convinced it will be found impossible to persuade those who vote the money for these enterprises to exclude themselves entirely from Hie admin.stru- tion of tlie properties for which they supply Hie. money. Is it Efficient? In the determination of this question I know of no consideration less important .than that of political exp;'d- ioncy'i; it is particularly a question of national economics, and what system will give the best and chcapokt sc.vic to tho people of this country. The crux of the whole thing lies in this, i:e:, the ability of tin- government lo carry on enterprises sucli as this with the same competency and efficiency as private owners. I am not attempting to persuade you to my views; they are. not unalterable, but I have not yet found unyone who could adduce evidence of the success of a government operated system in former days, or in other countries, where similar conditions prevail, and before we adopt a similar policy whicli will saddle us with tbe prinicples of public ownership and operation of our systems, we should, 1 think, be very sure of our ground. Tbe question cannot be determined in accordance with the wishes and views of financiers, stockholders, politicians, or any one set of men; it must be determined on Hie one ground by balancing its advantages with ita disadvantages, which is in the best interests of Canada. In order to reach a decision, the most careful consideration and analysis of results here and in other countries is necessary. With knowledge and experience, wc can. determine it, without it, we will add lo our railway mistakes. That we have made serious blunders is evident but we are all responsible. We built railways in wrong places, and at wrong times, but these mistakes, serious as their consequences have been, would be minor compared to the. mistake if we-adopted a wrong principle for their administration, and add the continuing aud pyramiding of losses which would result from extending these wrong principles to a largely exLended system. Believes in Canada I am a gnat believer lu tbis country, and I believe that our difficulties, economically and commercially speaking, will be solved. Some of these dlfll- cultles appear serious, and they are,, and in expressing hope in confidence, I do not with the idea of minimising the danger of the situation. I am convinced, however, that the difficulties are not Insuperable, nor should they be entirely unexpected, it is the mbst natural thing, and quite in accordance with the precedent of history, that following such a terrible four years' world eruption, there should now arise, both nationally and individually, coiir dltions which it will ttike extraordin ary measures to meet. Last summer, the railways of the country were threatened with very serious labor troubles; wage adjustments were made and rail's were raised, but toe Individual difficulties due lo tiniest d.d not entirely disappear, The railways, iu conjunction witii tlie government and the labor unions, adopted a course quite without precedent in the history of Canada, Their beads sal round a table, discussed the best methods lo adopt, and in tlie end constitute what is known as "Hallway iJoard of Adjustment ijto. 1," compo.sed of six representatives uf tbe labor unions and six railway executives. The board was empowered to adjust and make binding upon the parties concerned all disputes arising between railway employees and tbe railway companies. In the event of failure lo agree, there was provision lor calling in aa outside and Independent referee, who would have Hie casting vote Whether or not it was because the number this gentleman would bear was No. 13, I cannot say, but thirty-two main disputes, in some eases involving half a dozen minor differences, each ono of which might have precipitated a strike, have been determined by this board, and in no case has there ben an absence of agreement, and in no case have cither llie executives or the men complained that substantial justice was not none. Now tbe reason for tlie extraordinary success of this tribunal, which was formed to exist during the period of tlie war only, Iuit which I hope will continue long after peace has been declared, Is thin—it was composed of men determined to see that right was done; men who respected their colleagues on the board and themselves; men who were actuated by the spirit of adjustment, in no case has tha board ever forgotten its judicial attitude, nor has there been any evidence of feeling on either side in the course of iis deliberations, Cost of Living It is not for me to suggest what measures would lie appropriate for Industries, but I can assure you that the Workings of the Canadian Hoard of Adjustment No. I can be looked to with great satisfaction, and I should think, with some advantage by all those who have to deal with the existing labor problems. You are all aware of the high scale of wages now existing iu this country and of the prevailing unrest. As representing a company whose operating expenses increased by $:14,IHI0,U0I) in the short period of two years, t have some experience of the manner in which these rapidly increasing coi-ts affect large enterprises. "Wo are all disposed to attribute, these things lo tlu; high cost of living, but few, If any, of us know what Is responsible for It, nr what the ingredients In It .are. Jt has ree.ent.ly beep announced |>y the minister of labor that the government have quietly made Investigations and will be able shortly to make an announcement of the results of them, nnd undoubtedly that is the first step to be taken, because if these costs are Improper costs, we should know where the unfairness rests, if they are otherwise, we must lake means to Insure ur ability to meet these higher standards of living. Here again, it Is the actual facts, which will enable the people to decide wh.it should be done and whether our highly increased wages are due to reasons which could be avoided, or whether they are Inevitable. It has been announced that conventions are to be held in the coming mmmer for the purpose of developing tlie natural resources of tho western provinces, tbe establishment of Industries there in order that they may bo more self-contained, this is as it should be. We need immigrants, principally of the agricultural class, and we need to know and interest thers in llie local possibilities of western Canada. Most of us believe that they are almost limitless, but we must interest capital in order lhat these resources may ha developed and indrs- tries maintained in tiie development of the whole country. Optimism and Cooperation After proposing the toast to the king, I. It. Hunter, who served as chairman of the banquet, delivered a short address of welcome to Mr. Beatty, his party anfl to the visitors from nearby points, Mr. Hunter stated that in becoming president or the Canadian I'acific, Mr. I caty had risen to the highest commercial position which tlie world affords. He stated that he was parlicu- laily pleased to be present at the banquet, as it was Mr. Beatty's first visit to the Kootenay. The speaker pointed out the industrial and commercial possibilities of the district, declaring thnt it was thc richest in tho province. He also referred to the clmate. Tho speaker read the names of many prominent citizens of eastern British Colombia who had written or wired their : egrets. Starkey Is Toastmaster. "I will now turn the balance of the program over to Mr. Stnrkey," said the speaker amid ringing cheers. "With a broad smile he added: "1 warn you, gentlemen, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to you from nc w on." Mr. Starkey said that, as the hour was late and that a great many speakers were to be heard, he would permit tlie proposers of each toast to do most cf the talking with Regard to their subjects and lo Introduce the gentlemen who were to respond. He requested the local speakers lo cut their re- narks as short as possible, as the principal business of the evening was to hear from Mr. BetUty. Would Like Him Often. .1, .3, Deschamps, who proposed tho toast to "The Allied Nations," said that he wished .Mr. Beatty would come to Nelson at least once a month so that he might become acquainted with the people and its needs. .Speaking to Ihe toast, Mr. Deschamps pointed out thc fact lhat a united effort on the part of the allies bad led to the vie tory. .fudge .1. A. Forln in replying to the toast said that he did not desire to take up valuable time when tho pur pose of the meeting was to hear the honored visitors; Mr. Beatty, D. C. Coieman and .1, .1. Warren. Tho speaker declared lhat be was proud to have watched the progress made by Mr. Heatty and Mr, Warren, more especially as they were graduates of his own alma mater, Osgoode Hall, Toronto. Used Good Judgment. Mr. Heatty was complimented by Judge Forln for his good judgment in leaving the legal profession for one with a greater remuneration. 'ihe s| eaker also referred to Sir. Beatty's apparent youth and the fact lhat his hair was not gray. Judge Korln said be was sorry that Major tlie Hon. F. E. Grosvenor w net present, as had been expected, to speak to the loast to the abies, lc was a man who had made a great reputation on the battlefield ; would be in a better position to speak, lie said that a Canadian would not have been lu Nelson as the president of the C. V. ll. if a million and a half Frenchmen, a million Uritish soldiers ami the American thousands had not been willing to lay down their lives to win thc war. Beatty Will Be Loved. W. E, Coleman, vice-president of ihe C. I1. It. western lines, proposed Ihe toast to Canada, lie said thai he hud lived a short iiut very enjoyable part of his life in Nelson, ami that just I., years ago he spoke to the same toast al a banquet given here in honor of thc late Premier Richard McHrlde. The speaker paid a tribute to the memory of the "great native son of Uritish Columbia." Referring to Mr. Beatty, Mr. Cok man said that he found it a great pleasure to bo able to pilot him on his first trip through this section of the country, The speaker was warm in bis praise of his chief, saying that the man's temperament would make him loved i y all. He said thc Canadian Pacific had realized tlie possibilities of the west and white it had often faced losses in tlie post, il bad continued Id forgo ahead with a view to Us own development and the growth of the country "Today is nothing to Mr. Beatty but tlie evening of tomorrow," said Mr. Coleman in referring to Mr. Beat ty's youth, resourcefulness and determination to do tile best possible for the future. Big Fight of Future. Hon, John Keen, speaker of the British Columbia legislature, said that he did not see why lie should be asked to speak at the banquet, since his duties did not allow him to when he was in Victoria. "Twenty-nine years ago," he said, "this place was a row of stumps. Today it is a great cily." (Cheers,) "I feel thut all Canadians can well be proud thai they are living in Canada." (Here, hear.)

[General News of the City HUNDREDS ENJOY Officers, Nurses and Soldier-Inmates of Sanitarium Entertain Nelson Visitors, Hundreds of Nelson and district people were the guests of the officers, nurses and soldier-inmates of the sanitarium at BftJfour on Empire day. There was something doing at all times from early morning until the last boat left at night t^j entertain tho visitors, and everyone had a real en- joya-Jic outing. A program of track sports, in whicli was the feature ot the afternoon, while trap and target shooting was participated in on the rifle runge. During the afternoon E. \V. Beatly, president of the Canadian Pacific railway, stopped at Balfour on his way to Nelson, lie was taken all through the institution, and declared that he was highly pleased with tlie way llie hotel had been converted to the use of the soldiers and hoped that the government would see fit to keep tho institution running as long as there might be a need for it. .Mr. Beatty wus invited to remain to see the program of sports Which was^held soon after his arrival, but he was unable lu do so, as he planned to see some or iielson's sights during the afternoon. A small band of Indians who were camped on the lake shore near Proctor crossed the lake to Balfour and proved to be oue of the main features of the celebration. Two of the Indian women had tiny babies with them, currying them In the regulation old- time fashion with a lump line and board. The kiddies were a, centre of interest with the white ladies, while the latter seemed to b equally interesting lo the Indians. The Indians also had a young bear cub witli them. One of the women led it about at tlie end of a rope, Occasionally one of tbe whites would attempt to play with the cub, but it would have nothing to do with anyone but Its mistress. One or two children got a. little too close to It and wero bitten slightly for their Oaring. An attempt was made.*to feed it with chocolate, but without success. At about 4 p. m. afternoon tea was served on the lawn in front of the sanitarium. Little groups were quickly formed on the grass, where they sat, without chairs. Later a horse race wus run off on the golf course. TO BUILD KASLO-NELSON ROAD LINK THIS YEAR The links in the road between Queen's Bay and Kaslo will bo completed this year, stated Hon.

Mr. Keen complimented Mr. Beatty on his youth, saying lhat tho new president was a "young man like myself." The speaker said lie had been here for about 30 years and that he was good for another 30 years of work with men liko Mr, Beatty for llie good of British Columbia, and especially for the good of this section eif tlie province. He Is a Man. "We must get away from thc tomfooleries of life and get down tu facts, said Mr. Keen. "The man who owns the transportation of a country has been said to be the man who owns the country, and he is tlie man who can hold up the country. "My best compliment lo Mr. Beatty is that he Is a man." George Stevenson proposed the toast to "Our Province," thc "gem of thc Dominion." ns the toastmaster put it. lie declared that it required more real manhood tn stay behind this provinco than any other. Parallel Histories. Br. W. o. Rose, In reply to the toast, congratulated Mr. Beatty nnd welcomed him to the Queen City of the Kootenay. The speaker said that many men of the name of Realty had become prominent during the past few years, mentioning llie name of Admiral Sir David Beatty as an example. Dr. Rose stateil that tho history of the province and nf the Canadian Pacific havo been very closely related. The carrying into effect of tlie act of 1871, tinder which Britisli Col'imlilu be'i'ume a part uf the Dominion, depended very largely upon the promise f direct railway connection with the prairies and the east. At that time it necessary tn go around tiie Horn ir through the United States In order go from Victoria to Ottawa. Tho at! was connected up ln 1885. Available Resources. The speaker said that today the province has the potentialities to become the premier manufacturing prov- vincc of the Dominion. He reviewed the early history of the mineral development, pointing nut the possibilities had only been touched. He told of tlio possible futuro of lumbering, fisheries, agriculture and horticulture. At present the province eloes not raise enough food for its own people, but tlie speaker said he believed the time wiis near when there would lie a small surplus for export. The toastmaster proposed a toast to "Our Industries," to which S. S. Fowler, manager of the Bluebell mine, Rlondel, was the first lo reply. The Mining Industry. Mr. Fowler said that mining was too large a subject to be properly reviewed in a brief speech. Speaking to .Mr. Beatty, he said that tlio province was credited with having produced about $350,000,000 worth of mln- erals other than gold, but the Important thing was the development ai the mines ill tlie future. He declar- eel that tie greatest duty of the mining community today Is to encourage prospecting. Either thc old-timers must be brought back or a new class .if prospectors developed. "If new ore bodies are not located the district Is iiound to go back," said .Mr. Fowler. Continuing, he said lhat the potentialities had only been scratched. Lumbering Industry. W. A. Anstle said he was glad of the opportunity tu tell .Mr. Beatty of tlie lumbering Industry in the Kuut- enay, He said that he has been connected witli tlie industry hero for about 20 yeurs and that the business had had somo good and some lean seasons, lie declared the industry was entitled to be placed first in importance In the province In that it distributed more money fur wages, transportation and supplies than any other. 'J'he output was reduced during the war, but last year, from the stand point of returns, was ono of lho beat in the history of the industry. Speaking of tlie future, which he said he believed would bo kind to the Kootenay, -Mr. Anstle said that be was if the opinion that a pulp mill would bo established in the near future in tlie vicinity ot Xelson, and also on the Arrow lakes, lie said that labor conditions were not tlie best, but that lie believed there would be an improvement ln the future. He wus of the opinion that the 1. W. W., Bolslie and others of thc red element should be let know that Canada has no place fir them. (Cheers.) J ID. Annable told of the possibilities of fruit growing and of tlio success of those who had started with it in Kootenay and Boundary. Ho told of the development of the fruit and vegetable production and of the possibilities for the future. Gunner Graham sung "There's a Ijind" and "The Toreador" from Carmen. Welcome From Kaslo. James Anderson of Kaslo said that he considered it a pleasure to come to greet Mr. Beatty. He invited the distinguished guest to go to Kaslo If he could In the future, assuring him a welcome eejual to that extended by Xelson. Mr, Anderson pointed out the need feir cooperation between all the towns, cities and industries of the Kootenay. Ho then proposed a toast to the mining, smelting and commercial interest!.. .1. J. Warren, general manager of the Consolidated smelters at Trail, said that he had known Mr. Beatty for many years. , "He is one of the most straight forward and manly men of Canada today." (Cheers.) "He Is absolutely trustworthy. He may be a little slow in giving promises, but he will keep his word when lie does make a promise. He Is equally as interested ln tile development of Canada as are the people of the west. Mr. Warren said that he felt that lie wiis under suspended sentence when it came to speaking of the Trail smelter. He salei that at best he was "only an executive," lint he was blam- ed when tho price of copper went up and when It came down, In fact, he seemeel to be blamed for a little of everything. I ..bsLHII Future Development. Speaking ot the future lie said he would try to adopt a policy which would make for the development of llie province. He said that the smelter endeavored lo make Its charges fair, but pot to give something for nothing, lie did not think that would lie good for tlie country, but ho would give and do what he considered was right. Referring to schedule B, ho said that it was Intended to be a basis for reasonable charges for the work done ley the smelters. He said that lie was waiting tlie decision of tho special committee whicli has the schedule un- ler consideration, with a feeling that nil should get together witli a view to developing the country Mr. Warren said that he had never heard n kinei word in public for his company's development at the Sulli van mine, until Mr. Fowler spoke just a few minutes before him. He said thnt the smelters had been criticized for treating the ore from the Sullivan em a lower schedule than that charged for outside work. In reply lo theso criticisms he said thai it would bo Impossible for the smelter to operato without the Sullivan ore. Need for Cooperation. Tlie speaker told of tiie special operations carried on liy the smelters with a view ot assisting the allies win the war. Ho said that the company had saved tho British government over six million dollars on the cost nf its zinc alone. Mr. Warren said that he would liko to see more cooperation with regard the> development of tho Canadian market. As an illustration of tho way they work together, the speaker told of a trip whicli lie made to Washington after the States had entered the war. lie offered lei sell lead at about twti cents under tho prlco which tlio American proeluccrs wero receiving, and as a result was nearly driven out nf the city. Recently In Canada tlie Canadian National railway sent to Mexico to purchase lead when the smelters hnd several thousand tons on bund. That sort of thing should bo stopped, he said. He slated that ho looked In tlie future with optimism. Promising Developments. "We will soon be ln a position to treat from two to five thousand tons e.f Sullivan ores every day. S. G. Blay- lock nnd his staff of metalurgists havo solved tlie problem ot treating the Sullivan ores at a reasonable price. They have also discovered a new, Special Offerings OF INTEREST TO BUSY HOUSEWIVES 250 Yards Colored Oxford Shirtings Suitable'foMioys' Summer Shirt Waists and Men's Shirty.

"Hut say," said one fisherman, when asked about his, "do you know I had Ihe best'luek on Satitiilay., Until nboiit midnight Saturday night everything wns lovely, hut from that time on there was not a man in our party who had any luck. "We couldn't figure it out at first but thought that the gathering clouds might have something to'do with It, so. we changed bait and tried again. Things went from had to worse when we got out on the lake Sunday morning. The fish refused to look at our lines. Once ih a while we would sec fish jump clear of the water and cast a frightened look' in the direction of our boat, nnd then start off in tho opposite direction as fast ns possible. "Wo tried to figure out those looks. 1 couldn't get the idea for a time, but till of a sudden it came to me. What do think was wrong?
