SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918. THE WORK OP THE BRITISH SUBMARINES. Much has been heard of the oppra tion of German submarines, but little of the work of British submarines. The British navy seldom breaks its silence, but the other day an admiralty statement showed that the undersea department of the grand fleet has been by no means Inactive, Forty German warships have felt the sting of torpedoes fired from British submarines. In addition British submarines have penetrated German harbors with damaging results and dodged through mine fields, always striking deadly blows at the enemy's naval resources, at the same timo -making -obperviations of the greatest value to the allied cause. ■ And the British submarine has hud few targets ut which to shoot. Before a British submarine can get into touch with the enemy it nearly always has to, travel into or nearly into ii German port. ORGANIZATION ESSENTIAL TO INDUSTRY. Kootenay Fruitgrowers* union will meet May £0 to decide if it is to continue in business or not. There should be no room for doubt as to the issue. The farmers of the district need tho union. Ih fact, they cannot succeed without cooperative selling. To attempt to sell as individuals is worse than wasteful of energy and money; it is disastrous. With each individual rancher going out Into the open market and selling for what he can get prices arc slaughtered and not- only the growers, but the district us a whole, ultimately suffers. It is only by securing fair prices that the industry can prosper and out of the prosperity of Its industries comes the prosperity of the district. But the matter goes far beyond prices. A strong organization tends to maintain quality, to force producers to keep their product up to grade, which is essential if Kootenay- Boundary fruit is to hold its reputa- ■ tion. lt gives strength and permanence lo the industry. The meeting Wednesday will occur under more than usually favorable circumstances. The union is in good financial condition, so that the question of meeting a big indebtedness piled up in the past does not arise. Prospects for good prices during the coming season urc excellent, always providing that the growers do not allow themselves to drift Into any cut- throat individual marketing schemes. California and Florida, Washington and the Willamette valley point the way to success. They have achieved it through forming strong organizations and sticking to them. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS WILL HELP BEAT GERMANY The adoption by the government of the thrift stamp idea, as applied in tho United States, will be a considerable help in the war financing, besides being an incentive to wartime saving by the people. The scheme in the United States is to is- suo 25-cent stamps, the first one to be put in a small book with spaces for another fifteen. In addition to tlie $4 represented a few cents extra the saver pays a few cents extra, and gets a $5 war bond due In 1923. and bearing interest at 4 per cent. The price of the bond is so adjusted that, bought at any time up to the end of the period, the interest rate works out equitably to the date of maturity. I Canadians who are In the habit of throwing away loose quarters and dimes on useless Indulgences ought to have some Incentive to save them and apply them to tbe war fund, the Toronto Mail and Empire suggests. The dime bank Idea hod a remarkably wide appeal to the public, because it furnished un incentive * to the saving of >>mall amounts that otherwise would be wasted. Many people found themselves able to Eave in this way, when they could riot afford putting by larger sums. The thrift stamp fills this function of gathering up small sums ,and will be of real service io Rain may not be very pleasant, but it's worth a great sum of money to the district. Herr Hausmann, a member of the Wurtemberg diet, admits that Germany has been disappointed ln the results of the 1918 offensive and that a fifth winter of warfare is inevitable. There will be pretty loud murmurings when the German people generally realize that fact. "Truly, it was not my will that the war hus come," suys the kaiser. No, he didn't figure on quite this kind of a war.. The sort of war his All-Highest majesty designed wns one of quick triumph for Germany, with the dictation of peace on Hun terms from Taris by Christmas, 1914. German newspapers are now demanding the extension of the Alsace- Lorraine frontier "as a protection against a neighbor who for more than 600 years has always been the attacker." Yes, it was just the terrible way France marched through Belgium and assaulted poor, Innocent, peaceful Germany in August, 1914. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING "Annie Laurie." Like an echo out of the past comes word of the popularity of "Annie Laurie" with thu British soldiers. "It Is the queen of songs In the trenches," says Sir Alexander Mackenzie, as quoted by The London Chronicle.

The landlady bustled up to her new lodger as he came down to breakfast the first morning. "Good morning, sir," she wheezed. "Good morning," said the lodger. "I hope you've had a good night's rest," said the landlady. "No," said the mild-mannered little man. "Your cat kept mc awake." 'Oh," said the landlady, tossing her head. "I suppose you're going to ask me to have, the poor thing killed." No, not exactly," said the gentle lodger. "But would you very much mind having it tuned?" TOLD IN RHYME. TWO SHEPHERDS When Caledonia, stum and wild, Was stilt a poor, unkllted child, Two simple shepherds clad in skins, With leathern thongs about their shins Finding that dulness day by day Grew Irksome, felt a wish to play.

He hit a pebble with his crook, And sent Iho stono across the brook, Tho other, tempted then to strike, With oqu'il ardor "played the like." And thus they went with heart and soul Towards a distant quarry-hole, With new success contented. Twas thus, the prehistoric Scot Did wonders by Un idle shot, And golf was first invented. ROBERT SERVICE'S LITTLE DAUGHTER IS DEAD (By Daily News Leased Wire.) DAWSON, Y. T., May 17.—Private letters received hero from France announce the death at Mentonc, on the Riviera, of Doris Service, one of the young, twin daughters of Robert W. Service, bard of the Yukon and author of. "Songs of. a Sourdough'! and. other verses. Mr. Service Is engaged in Red Cross work In France. WHY IS TRAIL PERMANENT? Trail occupies a most peculiarly fa vorablo position among smelting cen tres on the continent—a position that Is sometimes overlooked by thoso who do not take a broad perspective of the situation. This position, furthermore, means permaence in the broadest sense of the term, as will readily be noted by. those who take the trou.blo to consider the matter In all Its varied aspects. ■ Firstly, Trail Is the only place we know nf on the continent where all 'five metals—gold, silver, copper, load and zinc—are smelted and refined. Did you ever, think of it? This directly means that If one metal la low in market price, greater efforts can bo put forth to produce other metals. Already we have seen this identical phase worked out here. Next, Trail smelter owners also control hydroelectric power in greatest profusion, that it Is so necessary to have at lew cost In any extensive metallurgical works nowadays. The Consolidated company also is not dependent on custom mines for its ore or flux supplies. If necessary the works can be operated on the company's own ores. Finally, tlie Consolidated company, being a first cousin, as it were, to the C.P.R., undoubtedly works in harmony with the greatest railway in the world, though the orriclals of both corporations will work just as hard for points and dollars from each other as though tney were sworn enemies. Tho combination is a remarkable one, and with the investment of more than ?&.- 000,000 in reduction works alone, besides another $7,000,000 in mines, the outlook iiero for steady and profitable eleciro-chemical metallurgical operation l!« almost Ideal.—Trail News*. -mMm _ Bayonne, N.J., board of education has abolished the teaching of German in the schools of that city.

THINNING In some parts of Canada the very early vegetables may now have reached the sta^e where It is necessary to thin them. This, too, is one of the ticklish prolicms that confronts the beginner.

PASSED IN HOUSE (Continued from Page One,) , ment in the organization for collecting income tax. He said it was inadequate. ' Mr. Maclean promised to tako the matter up and said that' every assistance had been given to Inspectors. • Mr, Sinclair claimed | that' by distinctions drawn between married and unmarried womon, the . unmarried woman was put at a disadvantage in regard to the income tax. A. R. McMaster, Brome, expressed the opinion that the age of children on account of whom certain exemption is allowed under tho aot should be rafted from 16 to 18.' In explanation, he said.that a largo number of people possessing mpdej*ate means kept their children,at. sdhool" until is years of age and were entitled' to some consideration. Mr. Maclean replied- that tl^e- gov- ernment had taken tills into consideration, but had ■ decided on the- age of 16. W. F. Nickle, ittnij-ston, asked why. the incomes of- a husband and' wife should not be considered as .one.l He thought 'that the" government -was losing considerable revenue through not taxing their combined i'nebtnes over 51500. Under the act it was quite possible for a man to transfer securi ties to his wife which would lessen the amount of his Income subject to taxa. tion. Combined incomes Mr. Maclean declared that ho was disposed to agree witli Mr, Nickle and In all probability thero would be borne amendment of this nature made at the next session. ' '* G. Parent, Quebec West, asked if TROUBLED WITH CONSTIPATION From 16 to 20. * i Constipation Is one of the commonest' ills Of mankind and one too often allowed to go unlocked after until some serious complication sets in.. If the bowels are properly looked after there will be no constipation, Jaundice, sick or bilious headaches, heartburn, coated tongue, sour stomach, floating specks tfefo're the eyes, etc. ■ - Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills will keep your bowels- so' regulated- that in no time the constipation will disappear entirely. Miss Emma E. Melanson, Halifax, N.S., Writes: "I am now' 20 years of age and since I was 16 I have been greatly troubled with constipation, so much so that at times I would be in bed 3 or 4 days, a month. 1 tried all tbe old fashioned remedies, castor oil cascara, etc., with only. temporary relet until "my-slster-tn-law gave me somo Qf MIlhttrB's Laxa-Liver Pills.

He was told by the acting minister that Sir Thomas White had been In negotiation with officials In the finance department at Washington who anticipated reaching seme arrange- ,ment in this matter. Sir Thomas had taken up tho matter of the -Business, ■Profits,Tax act. .;'•' Mr. McMaster pleaded for a higher, taxation on large Incomes, A tax on 'an income beyond a certain amount 'was a tax on luxuries and not oh necessities. To this E. W. Nesbitt, North Oxford, replied that if the taxes wero made too heavy on large incomes, it would tend to mako the wealthy man invest his money in non-tax piylng government bonds, with the result that the capital would be withdrawn trom industry. Cannon.Roapj . .. : L. Gannon, Dorchester, ■ wanted to know what Sir Joseph Flavelle - was ,being taxed; what Mdckenisie &' Siann were going to pay and those who had bribed* the press .during, tha last election. He said Liberals claimed that men should be taxed according to their means and' hot' according to their power of. extraction. '' '""ivtien Sir Joseph Flavelle walks in the corridors of this parliament," declared Mr. Cannon, "the acting minister is proud to bow to him because Sir Joseph Flavelle represents, wealth.., You liavo bribed the press. The press of this country cannot oxpress any view unless the president of the- privy council has O.K.'d the articles." At this point the deputy speaker, intervened by calling Mr. Cannon to order. The clause under discussion, said the deputy speaker, was comined to taxation. In conclusion, Mr. Cannon asked that Mackenzie; & Mann pay something to. the exchequer. "Let us see that they..give us back some of tho money that .they, hav.^ stolen." ' Members Laugh 1 -Dr.- J. Edwards, Fronteuac, cwsed amusement by stating that the House had been given a demonstration p't the fact that there was Iri the -fonse a. Cannon, which to Judge by the volume, of sound could carry 3,00,0 pilles,.. Mr- Cannon, Dr. Edwards said, had dwelt on equal sacrifice of money. Put there was another sacrifice, the greatest sacrifice "of all, the sacrifice not of dollars but of men. "I invite him," p.r, Edwards continued, "to direct hla attention to equality, in .the taxation' on men ih this country. What sacri*; flee has he induced the peoplo of Dor*; Chester to make In the past?"'. The honorable gentleman is on record, he said, to prevent an equalization of sacrifice as far as; men o**i tho battlefront are concerned. "I say that the whole attitude ot- the honorable member has been one to discourage members 'of- his con*, stltuency from taking part',In tha- war," said Dr. Edwards. When the section .dealing with the exemption of Judges' salaries ahi re- tlHng' allowance's from taxation was. under consideration, Mi Nickle. expressed, the opinion that It wpuld ba a breach of contract if an attempt was- made to.deprive judges of-amy im**nu-: (Concluded,on Pago-Eight',) V-' FRECKLES Now It the Time to Get Rid of Thu* Ugly Spots.

Frank Varley, Australian Chap- lain, Delivers Warning * Sermon That people today too often let anything crowd pr&yer out of their lives, and that a generation ts growing up that is in danger of forget- t ng how to pray, was the statement of Rev. Frank Varley, ln tho course of an able discourse at Jarvis street Baptist church, Toronto. Rev. Frank Vailey ts a son of the late Rev. Henry Varley, the well-known evangelist, and ts on his way to his home in Australia, after two years' service among the troops in France and England. Not only Ib prayer being crowded out of the business and home life, but, said the speaker, tt is also being crowded out of the church life.- Because of this there is tho danger of losing the personal element In religion. "There are a large number of people Christians in theory rather than In actual fact," he said, "and thore are those who are Christians tn name rather than In actual possession. I believe the reason for that is this: That,we have lost the personal merit, -'the personal experience." Tilings are put in their stead that are oil right th their place. However, the personal experience should be In the first place, and other things should come second. These days are testing times 'for people's faith. "It ls only those who have personal faith and who come In' personal contact with Jesus ChriBt that are enabled to endure the darkness tn these days."

WM omans FAT MORE VEGETABLES URGES FOOD BOARD The most critical food needs overseas at the present moment, and'until the next, harvest, are wheat, meat, bears, and dairy products. The utmost effort .must be made by the people of Canada.to save these foods by eating less of them. Outside of absolute requlrem'entrj for feeding livestock there is no.considerable surplus In Canada of coarse grains which can be used as substitutes for wheat. The only substitutes available in large quantities are fish and vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, onions and turnips. ■ We must not allow wholesome food to waste while millions of our allies are threatened with hunger and perhaps with actual starvation. Vegetables are not suited for transport overseas but, by using them freely, we can release large quantities of other foods. Considerable supplies of these, vegetables are now on the market at reasonable prices and they should continue to he available during the next few weeks, Farmers and dealers who still have stocks on hand are reminded that the order making waste illegal and subject to heavy penalties applies to the case of those who fail to market food before It deteriorates or spoils. .Campaigns in Toronto, Hamilton arid Ottawa for Increased consumption of vegetables prove that the public is willing and anxious to use this food more freely in order to prevent- waste and to save bread and other essential foods. This effort must be continued in these cities and shou'd be extended to ulj.. parts of the Dominion. . _. . .; , .The available supply of fish Is large, especially at the present season. Outside of a few luxury varieties, such as halibut, Salmon, etc., the price is reasonable. Fish, is a cheap source of protein and should be used to a much greater extent as a substitute for meat. Cod and haddock are obtainable in very large quantities at the present time, as well as certain varieties pf flat fish and other splendid edible sea food. The food board appeals to the public and. to dealers to do their part in order that the maximum supply of wheat, meat, etc., may be available for shipment,to our soldiers and allies. | TALK OF THE TATTLER | It ''''joifietlmes ^-happens that the lightest "heaid ls.Jield. the-highest.

Anonymous Writer Tells of Incident and Need of Spiritual Help for Soldiers. Every Friday there is a half hour's intercession service In St. Saviour's church. On one occasion, says a correspondent there were about 12 persons present The writer continues: After the service I went to the library to change a book. While waiting I picked up an IlluBoratcd paper and saw a picture of wounded soldiers on stretchers on the ground waiting to be put into an ambulance. Thero was also a picture of a string of motor lorries packed full of men going up to tho firing Hue. As I looked at theso I thought, yet thero were only 12 persons represented at church that morning to pray for these mon. Their Sacrifice. "In oho of the newspapers I read that dui.ng this last great battle the men had fought fofV.days :arid nights without sleep. Thej-lwere so exhausted they could hardly walk or talk. One statement which particularly Impressed me was this: 'On the night of March 24 the men hoped that they would be relieved nna prepared to go into billots but before they reached ' them they were called out again. That night all ranks, including the orderlies, fought with rifles and the officer commanding the brigade wrote in his report: "1 am writing this report with .one hand and firing a rifle with the other." Again on the night of March 27 the men were to have a rest but again had to turn out to cover the detainment of other troops. Then it was that although they were so tired they could hardly move, they went in singing Tlpperary."', Half an Hour. 'Surely we can glvo up 30 mtnutea out of the •>vh0!e wec1*-'t0 P"1*' £-?r theB0 soldier iwys, I thought. Five o'clock on Friday should be our most important engagement of the week.

Tho motive for the deed is believed to have been fear of the Military Service act. (By Charles Mansferd.) The physical configuration of Armenia, In which; ls tho vilayet of Erzerum with Its ohlef. city, has deeply affected Ita tragic story.; Its long valleys are frequently isolated for six months out of the 12 by tho rigors ot; a Siberian winter, while Its mountain fastnesses .have nurtured a race not far removed from the bandits who have preyed, upon and persecuted tho Armenians of the valleys and plains. Tho long valleys themselves are the natural corridors connecting west with east; the German taskmasters of the Turks realize that these valleys are a way-to tho Iranian plateau: and beyond, for which, ln the remotest times, men sought conquest by the arbitrament qf the sword. To tiio casual traveler there ls nothing, at first sight, remarkable about the city of Erzerum Itself, which, ow- ing to Russia's collapse, hns fallen once more Into Turkish hands. It has a'certain air of plcturcsqueness, with, its flat-roofed or domed houses, Its narrow, garbage-littered ways lrregu-. larly built, and in the medley of sights and soundB tpyical of a nearer eastern land. .!?, Pleasant in Summer. In summer it is pleasant enough, having a mild, genial climate, but, lying over 0000 feet above tho sea leyol,, its winters are so rigorous that Its valley is often blocked with Bnow from October to April. It was still a fair commercial centre at the outbreak of tho present war, having,an oxport trade of about £300,000 in value, and an import of goods valued at two-thirds that amount. In early times the Arabs called tho city Ard-ar-Eum, the city of tho Romans, and their geographers, frequently referred to its Importance and tho beauty of Its situation. It had a very largo population then, for when the Scljuks captured lt, lu.1201 A. D., no less than 140,000 of its Inhabitants perished. In 1517 lt came Into possession of tho Osmahll Turks, slnco whon lt has had no real opportunity of progress. Events such as tho ghastly atrocities of 1895 and the continued persecution of tho Armenians, havo diminished tho population and stood in the way of Erzerum holding that status as a really great commercial city whioh is its birthright ' About it vast stretches of land which once produced wheat, barley and millet in abundance, have gono completely out of cultivation, for the peasantry have been butchered. The consequence of the constant un- settlement, too*, has been extended, for. lts_great Persian trade has slowly decayed. Strongly Fortified. Erzerum Is strongly fortified, occupying an important strategical position. Of tho four great highways qf communication in Anatolia, the- \ longest and most Important is that which connects Europe with Asia. Starting at Scutari on tho Bosphorus, the-Asiatic suburb of Constantinople, lt runs through Ismld, Soli, Amssla and To.- kat, making Its. way across, the northern portion of the eounfry to Erzerum. Hero lt Is connected with Kars, the great fortress of Russia, which Oermany has suggestively handed ovor to Turkey.. Both Russian and Armenian patriots, realize the close connection between these two fortress cities; no name Ib more honored by Russian and Armenia alike than that of Count^Lo- rls Mellkoff; the son of an Armenian merchant, who proved himself such a capable administrator in tho Caucasus. In the Russo-Turklsh war of 1877-8, he commanded an army corps. After taking Kars by storm, he laid siege to Erzerum which was restored after falling into Russian hands, by tho subsequent treaty. Erzerum has. roads connecting it with Slvas westward- and Van to, the south, lvhilo it Is linked up with Treblzpnd on the Black sea, which is only 100 miles distant. The railway from Scutari to Angora Is steadily being pushed on to Erzerum, both' British and Russian prisoners being employed in furthering its construction. It will not be difficult to connect Erzerum with the rail* road at Kars, and thus with the trans- Caucasian railway,, so that .by way of. Soutari, Erzerum, Kars, Aleandropcl and Erlvan, Tarlz Itself may bo reached, and Persia exposed to the machinations, of the German taskmasters of their 'Osmanll Turkish tool. It- thus forms an alternative route to that Via Odessa, Batoum, Tlflls and Aloxandro- pal to Tarlz, and. beyond. , Destroyed Part of City. The recapture and burning of a part of Erzerum by tho Turks, in spite of its gallant defense by the Armenians, Is ono of tho tragedies of the war, for many tlie many crlmos against civilization wihlcfn has distinguished the central powers noiie havo been worse than their countenance qf the njiseries Inflicted by the Turks upon the defenseless Armenians! Against those crimes no voice of protest from Germany or Austria has ever gone forth; it is known, qn. the contrary, that these, reprehensible acts have had the actual approval of those who seek to bring tho world to their despotic heel. Armenians, tho world over, havo shown their capacity arid Intellectual grasp of essentials; for a time their nation may bo downtrodden and be-' trayed by tho forces allied with German kultur, hut, alike in Europo and in America, they look to tho allies with supreme confidence for the ultl-- mate deliveianco of their land and tholr race from the harsh Turkish taskmasters, Receipts for Week Ending May 14 Show Slight Qecresss from the- Previous Week.

Dr. Edwards said that if Judges woro tfald a certain fleilary to make them Immune from te-nptatlon, then overy increase ln salary was made- to keep them honest. Tetnptation must Be removed. "Has it resulted that way?" Dr. Edwards asked. "Not that we notice particularly," * Hon. W. S. Fielding suggested that the minister of Justice (introduce a bill this session to make t*ho salaries of Judges appointed in the future liable to taxation. OVER 40 YEARS ON THE ROAD The name ofW.G.

Over the top of the oven and down the right hand side, the heat passes in a steady current, then underneath the oven till it strikes a guiding bar that sends it tothe front, then straight across to the back. The oven itself is constructed of heavily nickelled steel which absorbs and distributes the heat evenly and quickly to the interior. . Thus the oven is practically surrounded with an envelope of heat on five sides—left, top, right, bottom and back, and the outside is pro tected by a heavy steel door with air-tighfc joints so that not a particle * of. heat can escape. The outside envelope of the heat flues, or the body of the range, is insulated with asbestos and protected with air-tiglit joints.
