I Veterans and Sympathizers Object to
" Employment of Aliens by Winni
peg Branch of Company.
(By bally News Leased Wire.)
WIN_J1P__G, Jan. 27.—Timely action
by Mayor Charles F. dray and Brig.
Qen, H. D. B. Ketchen was the only
thing which saved a most threatening
situation at the big packing plant of
the Swift Canadian company at Elm-
*6od, a suburb of Winnipeg, this afternoon. With a'large crdwd 'of re
. turned mon and sympathizers clamor
Ing at the gates of the establishment
Mayor Gray 'mounted an improvised
platform, and "With General Ketchen,
succeeded In getting the men to ait
IMi-t'rofraltlti'om raiding the Plant and
ejecting alien employees bodily,
course"WlllSh' was _rtir_ued by'the sol-
*Hets'fa't" several places subsequently
visited.
' ThlsactWtt df the mayor arid General
Ketchen -Whs taken at the outset of
the 'tffterriobii's j._og_am of the'men.
F They had' gone to the picking plant to
i denialnd 'thht'nll aliens be replacerl by
whit.' labor. iTU-t when things looked
at "t-Velr 'wor.t!'the*rtiayo. and General
KOttihen appei'r.a bn the scene. The
latter spoke first, urging the, men not
to hamper the work being carried out
In their behalf by wiser counsels and
ib go~ track to the city and give the
manager of the plant a chance to dismiss the aliens. The crowd waited until the general had spoken and then
hurled epithets at tho manager, W. R.
Ingram, who was present and tried to
address "them. Slayer' Gray then
mounted 'the'railings and 'in almost
dramatic terms appealed for British
fair play. "I am an Englishman hnd
I want yoii men to gtVe British fair
play. "Wo want to get the aliens' out,
rthd'-I am With "you In 'that, but let:us
do '|t cohtrtltUtlonally;" he urged. "Qp
li(ck to'tho.clty'and show them thai
\ ydri will give them n chancer to get rid
bf 'the 'aliens and if they don't do It
| then Is'the time for ro'ckoning. Send a
[lette.*to every employer of alien lav
> bbr In tbwn arid risk for the' foreigners "to bo fopltibcd. Give them three
I days tb do It," he continued, but this
I didn't 'altogether appease the Crowd
"We want them but now and out
quick,": yelled on soldier, and he was
loudly .heered. "Well, the manager
Baft ho Will get them out right away,"
answered tho Mayor. '1 promise you
I will stand by you artd see that you get
rl square deal. Now go back, boys, and
show them that you are law abiding
rif.ii.ens. Obey General Ketchen and
'general law' and. they will see that
the aliens have to go. The manager
says he will meet a committee ot you
and will go over the list of employees'
names wllh you. That is fuir, now,
boys; and give him a chance to mako
good on It."
Will Oust Aliens
Manager Ingram said that ho would
"have every alien off the job tomorrow
If the boys can got mon to fill their
places." 'One soldier In' the crowd,
however, saldne was a mechanic wlt'h
tho firm" beforo going overseas and
had not been taken back.
Tho crdWd separated after this. One
section beaded for St. Boniface und
another for home.   The Alaska Bed-
Idlng conipr)hy was next visited. While
|n scoro df soldiers piled Into the waro-
ouse the couple of aliens employed
here vaniihod through a rear door,
anager Baker Md  the  soldiers  ho
_had tried time and again.to get re
turned soldiers to fill the aliens-
places. A number of returned soldiers
In tho company's employ bore out this;
statement and the soldiers went away
satisfied.
Suspect a Store
Suspecting a gramaphone store on
Hlggins avenue to be the headquarters
of an Austrian club, one section of
soldiers and their sympathizers paid a
visit to this establishment. No damage-was done, the leader's of the 'men
announcing that there was no cause
for trouble. In a backyard two aliens
were forced to kiss the Union Jack
and then the crowd surrounded the
Manitoba Cold Storage company's
plant. Two aliens ran out, one mak
Ing his get-away, -while the second
waB captured by the crowd, frdm
which the polleo. rescued 'him after he
had received several blows in the face,
The 'manager of the 'company said ho'
would make a list of tho alien employees and submit it to the Great
War Veterans with a request for men
to replace those whom the veterans
wanted dismissed. This satisfied the
crowd and a march was started west
and -south to Henry avenue.
'Having' heard that one of their
number had hot been fairly treated
by a man named Schult..- running an
employment agency on Henry avenue,
the soldiers .hided this place before
the 'policemen who hud been following the ' crowd everywhere in a huge
patrol /wagonj cou^d binder 'them.
Every window and all fittings were
stnnshcd, as well as all partitions and
furniture.
The crowd then crossed Main street
and divided. One section went north
on Princess while the other section
completed the work It began ye'ster
day, when a jitney bar near the corner of Henry avenue was partially
wrecked. Most of the glass had been
destroyed but now the men smashed
up bottles and a number of souths
took away boxes of cigars as souvenirs.
Free   Drinks
Swlhgjng back to _M(Un street, ^the
crowd Surged into tire Allies jitney
bar. Mostly returned soldier's wero
found here, so the crowd contented
Itself in getting on top of the bar
and bunding out soft drinks. Meanwhile several of the manufacturing
plants had been visited in search of
alien employees. Beforo leaving this
section of the city an attack was made
on the Empress hotel Little damage
was 'done here, soft drinks being
frce|y handed out and the wiser
heads prevailing. On the way south
along Main street calls were mado at
tho Bell hotol and othor restaurants
run by foreigners. Nothing of a
noteworthy character occurred until
tho crowd got to the American brtr on
Albort stroet, whero windows wero
smashed in most thorough fashion.
At the Carlton cafe, on Notre Dame
avenue, wiser heads again prevailed.
"Do not break anything, boys," they
urged when the men went In to look
for aliens. Tho boys obeyed, lint on
their' way out some of tbe younger
element made a raid on a cigar, case.
After paying a quiet call to the Fort
Garry hotel and tho Union depot lunch
counter, the crowd broke up, tbo
afternoon's program belpg about ended. On the way west alphg Bortagq,

Columns of Allies and Russians
in Archangel
(By Dally News Leased Wire)
•ARCHANGEL, Sunday, Jan, '26.—
(Associated I'ress)—The Bolsheviki
are now on the offensive with infantry
or artillery, or both, against four of
the seven thin columns of tho allies
and Russians which have penetrated;
southward through the frozen forest
swamps of' the province of Archangel.
Last night the enemy entered Slren-
kursk, while the tired column of
Americans Russians and British which
have evacuated Shenkursk, marched in
a roundabout way over the deep snow
on the road, evading a force of several
hundred of the enemy who waited on
the main high road to trap,the column in its retreat.
In good spirits, despite long marches
In the cold and ten days of hard fighting, the Americans nnd other troops
of the allied forces were today at She-
govarl, approximately 30 miles north
of Shenkursk In the Vngrt river. The
enemy apparently Is sending patrols to
follow the retreating troops, but up
to this morning no new attacks had
been made on this sector. Saturday
tthe Bolshevlki attacked the allied positions at Taresvo, a village some 40
miles east of Shenkursk in the sector
between the Vaga river and the Volog'
da railway. They were repulsed with
heavy losses, the British, American
and Russian forces fighting with such
valor that tho enemy column which
attacked on the left of Taresvo retired in disorder, leaving twenty dead
In the snbw. On .the right of the vil-
large enemy column whs spotted by
the American artillery and retreated
under a rain of shells. N   .
"*<*bvthO:Dvina river no It.fantry at

the enemy artillery continues a heavy
bombardment nt Tulgsa. On the Vo
logda railway the enemy's armored
train continued to shell the allied positions, and recently his patrols, moving over frozen trails in the swamps,
which were Impassable In the summer, havo attempted' bombing raids
against American outposts.

AMERONGEN, Holland, Jan. 27.—
(By the Associated Press.)—William
HohenzOllern, the former emperor, will
awake 'on his- sixtieth birthday tomor-
dow morning to find his apartments in
Amerongch Castle, a bower of flowers
sent by many German admirers irr
Germany and Holland. Slnco Friday,
bouquets have been arriving in great
quantities from school children and
formor supporters' ln Germany.
At the .same time every mall brings
piles of letters and telegrams, most of
'which aro of a congratulatory nature.
However, there are dozens of letters
of abuse. The letters undergo u
double censorship. 'First the Dutch
authorities look them over to prevent
Intrigues. In the second Instance, a'
servant of the 'former emperor inspects
the letters and permits, only those
communications which he considers
will please him to reach the emperor.
Mirch adverse comment has been
beard In Holland .regarding the proposed concert'which was to have been
given Saturday -In the castle in the
presence of 'the former emperor by
'the Amerongen church choir. It was
reported that the concert would be
given in behalf of tbe ernperor's birthday. The outcry was so grent that tire
.concert was abandoned.
The veil, which up to this time Iras
hidden the ex-emperor's dally life from
the public, has been lifted slightly
apd shows that be employs his day 'in
tho humdrum fashion usual among
country gentlemen who do not fre-"

Those'who have noticed the change'
in tbe former emperor's appearance
scarcely recognize the elderly civilian
with the short whitish Vandyke beard
and somewhat thinned gray hair,
which, however, still is in good condition considering his age.

FOR RESULTS
Swedish  Louder at Berne Conference
Is Careful and Moderate in His
Optimism
ifBRNK, .Tun. 26.—(By Associated
I'ress)—A tone oC carefully moderated
optimism ns to the results expected
to be attained by the international .labor ami Socialist contcrence, nov?,assembling here, characterized the views
expressed today by M. Branling, the
Swedish Socialist louder, ou his arrival to attend the gathering.
M. Branting mentioned the visit paid
to Paris by Arthur Henderson, the
'British labor leader, and his conference with Foreign Secretary Balfour
as an indication that tho peace conference intended to attach weigh to
tho demands and desires of labor. He
hoped, he said, that the conference
would find a way, to establish, perhaps,
a minimum of living standards for
working men, although he recognized
it naturally was impossible to attempt
to standardize wages since the, buying
power of mr icy and prices for commodities varied so largely in the different countries.
He was pessimistic as to the German workmen's future, declaring that
the situation in Germany was critical,
despite the' Spartacan dei'eat and he
feared for the results unless reliel
came quickly , Bolshevism was referred to by him in terms of sarcastic
condemnation, although he said he
spoke with full realization Is its dangerous possibilities.
He quite obviously does not look
with favor upon the decision of the
peace conference to make an opportunity of conferring with the Bolsheviki whoso regime he styled an
autocracy quite as dangerous as that
of the former Pruseian clique, but he
shrugged his shoulders resignedly and
said the allies would see they had
made a mistake.

PARIS, Jan. 27.—(By the Associated
•press)—The peace conference today
made a distinct gain when the 19 small
"powers gave full adhesion to the"or-
ganlzatlon formulated by the five.great:
■powers, thus securing a united'front
of the great and, small powers at the
outset of the work on the main subjects before, the members of the commission.
This was largely due to the skilful
[direction of Jules Cambon, French
[delegate, and former ambassador at
Washington, who was designated by
the council of the great powers to preside over the meeting of the small
powers held this .afternoon. This
meeting was convened at the foreign
office at 3 o'clock at the same time
'the five great powers met in separate
session. For a time there was some
apprehension of the sequel to the different viewpoints expressed at Saturday's conferencve, but today's meeting of the small powers was without
incident or renewal of the claims then
set up for increased representation on
the various committees. Berlin, Serbia, Rumania and all the other small
powers had their full delegations at
the afternoon meeting.
M\ Cambon, hv opposing the meeting, took occasion to allude to the
great part 'Belgium had taken in tho
war. He then paid a tribute to tho
part played by Serbia, Rumania!
Greece and the others. This dissipated
any lingering shadows of disagreement and the meeting proceeded with;
entire harmony to designate the membership of the small powers on the
commission. In the meantime the
council of the great powers held two
sessions during the day resulting in
the formation of two new commissions
to deal with financial subjects and t>ie
question of the private and maritime
laws.
While the official eornn.ni.K'ations
givo no indication of the nature of
"the question of maritime law, It
would seem to be a term embracing
President Wilson's second point—of
freedom of the seas."
The council also proceeded to hearings on the disposition of the conquered German colonies in the Pacific
and the Far East, a final conclusion
not being reached,
The conference is giving evidence of
real progress since the committees
were named and most of these bodies
began to initiate their work today.
Prosldent Wilson, who is chairman
of the committee on the "league of nations, joined his colleague Colonel
House, also a member of that committee, during the noon recess of the
council.
Later in the day Lord 'Robert Cecil,
British member of the committee, joined him In a further consideration of
tho questions which the president and
Colonel House had examined.
Labor Commissions
The labor commissions also began to
get under way. President Wilson met
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Feredation of Labor; James
Duncan. John R. Alpine and other
members of the labor delegation, for
a brief exchange of views, and later,
Mr. Gompers and Edward N. Hurley
who are the America nmembers of the
lator commission, held their first conference on the work ahead.
The military -commissitin on de-
moblization also had a session while
Pichon eompleted the draft of instruction for the commission which
leaves for Poland in a fow days.
Henry White, the American delegate on the waterways committee, also
established relations with his' colleagues of that body. Thus real progress on all the main subjects is becoming apparent as the commissions;
are beginning to formulate detailed,
projects for presentation to the conference. •

The throat, breathing passages
and lungs are the weak spots at
which colds strike. And these
are the very organs most difficult to treat, because only a
breatheable remedy Is capable of
reaching thetroublelodged there.
Peps provide a breatheable
remedy, and their superiority
over remedies which are swallowed Into the stomach Is therefore obvious. For convenience,
this breatheable remedy is condensed Into tablet form. To
take the treatment, merely dissolve Peps In your mouth, and
the medicinal vapor that la
released la carried by the breath
to the remotest parts of the
breathing passages and lungs,
healing, soothing and strengthening every part with which It
comes in contact. At the same
time, by destroying all disease
germs, these medicinal fumes
prevent the development of
colds, coughs nad serious chest
trouble.
Carry Peps with you, and
when you go from an overheated building to the bitter
cold of outdoors, put a pastille
in your mouth. Also as a protection against germs, keep a
Pep In your mouth, when breathing the impure air of a crowded
theatre or store.

i How to Retain Youth
"All honor to the passions that make
a man a boy," wrote that master of the
human heart, immortal victor Hugo.
"The autumn of life is prosaic; youth
only is poesy and romantic and light-
hearted,' Dickens. "The haunted
mnn" prated for forgetfulness and
after his prayer was heard asked for
memory again. Why? Because the
dream.* of youth are elastic and their
remembrance, are only illusions. Our
"chatter box" days are after all tho
supremely happy days; Carter, the
threat magician, who appears at tho
opera house, with his big company and
who has been scoring unprecedented
success everywhere, succeeds by his
great Illusions and the spontaniety of
laughter caused by mystery and wonderment, to tako his vast audiences
back to childhood's unalloyed happy
hours, when hobgoblins and ghosts
were not myths and "Allndin's Wonderful Lamp" charmed our innocent
hearts. Carter's miracles quite surpass the tales of the genii, and after
young und old see bin marvelous tricks
such as "The Enchanted Crystal Caso,"
"The Ethereal Bride," "The Astral
Hand," "The Seance from Simla,"
'The Vanishing Fairy," "Tho Bewitched Bottle/ "The Guinea Pig and
Ruses," '-The Cards of Karnac," and
hundreds of other novel conceits—
there is little1 left for the imagination
to conjure with. Bring the children
to a veritable fairyland. Seats on sale

At the Gem
Hoof-beats in the darkness, a. whispered command, a rally to the cause
of right and. freedom! Such things
as these set the blood to tingling,
and the heart to pounding against
the ribs, When deeds must bo done
under cover of the night, it is well
that they should be done in the
sacred name of justice.
"Riders of the -Night," this five-act
Metro drama of Kentucky and the
blue grass to be seen at the Gem
theatre tonight is filled with color and
romance, with a hint of tragedy. Sally
Castleton, the heroine, played by Viola
Dana, is willing to make the supreme
sacrifice forthe sake of the man she
loves. The;magic and witchery of
night heightens the thrilling events of
this picturesque photoplay.
"Riders of the Night" is a Kentucky
story without a feud. Viola Dana
was never more bewitching than in
this dramatic story of the struggle of
right against privilege. It has surprises in every act.

Mining arid Markets
International mining convention for
1919 is to be held in Nelson during the
latter part of June or early ln July,
Fred A. Starkey, president of the asso*
elated boards of trade of eastern British Columbia, said last night. The
announcement follows Mr. Starkey's
recent trip to Spokane, when 'he discussed tho question with Frank C.
Bailey, secretary of the Northwest
Mining association.
With reference to ..the report last
night that the Spokane conferenco had
been indefinitely postponed, Mr.
Starkey said thnt arrangements would
be so made that there would be no
danger of the dates conflicting as
there were many interior mining men
who desired to attend that gathering
as well as many ln Spokane who had
already expressed their interest in the
Nelson convention, immature'as plans
were at the present time.
"Every effort will be mnde to mako
this convention even better than tho
one in May, 1917," Mr. Starkey said.
"And that one was termed the best
In the west by many Spokane mining
men. We will make the convention
a top notcher and leave nothing undone to beat, all records."       v      ■
BONDS HAVE BIG

(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
MONTREAL, Jan. 27.—Transactions in bonds to a par valuo of $2,-
£1.2,3*25 on the Mptnreal stock exchange last week appear to have established a new high record. _Thc

HER FIVE CHILDREN
HAD WHOOPING COUGH
AT THE 8AME TIME
Whooping cough Js ono of the* most
dangerous diseases of children, especially to those under five years of
age.   It first starts with a fever and
| cough, sneezing, watering of the eyes
and an irritation of the throat. Later
the coughing Increases, the child becomes livid in the,face, tl*e eyes appear as If they would burst from their
sockets and suffocation seems imminent tilt relief is brought by tho
"whoop."
On the first sign ot whooping cough
we would advise the use of Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup. This famous
remedy will clear the bronchial tubes
of the collected mucous and phlegm
and In this way ease'the racking cough
[and in a short tlmo make It disappear
entirely. '
Mrs.. Walter McGaughey, North Battleford, Sask., writes: "I have fivo
children, the eldest thirteen and the
baby two years old. They all had the
whooping cough at the same time. I
t. led two or three cough remedies; 'but'
I none gave the same satisfaction as Dr.
| Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. A home
where there aro young children should
(never bo without it.   I will highly recommend It to those who want a quick
cure.'
Thero arc many  Imitations ot Dr.

Bringing Our Soldiers'
Dependents to Canada
IN England, there is a colony of Canadian women who went overseas in
order to be near their husbands. There are also in England and
France many women who married Canadian soldiers and have neverr
seen Canada.
It is one of the duties that Canada has incurred through the'war to]
' bring back these dependents of our soldiers with all speed, and to help]
establish their home life. «
*
Up till the time" thfe Armistice wiis
signed, some 22,000 women and children
were returned. There still remain about
50,000 to be brought back.
These 50,000 soldiers' dependents will
be Teturned to Canada at the public expense. Those who have already arrived
in Canada since November llth, 1918,!
will have their ocean and railway fare
refunded by the Government. \
The facilities for transporting soldiers'
and their dependents are limited to
about 30,000 monthly. Theref6re, women
and children will be returned to Canada
at,the rate of about 5,000 to 7,000 each
'month. >. Many of the women, will be
accompanied . by - their husbands. < On
every boat carrying 200 or more up-'
accompanied women there is aY-W-CA.)
'secretary.''
■At the Ports.
mm^mm^—~—  ' ...
To these 50,000 returning women and
children every care is being given. Until
they reach the shores of Canada they are
in charge of jJieJDverseas Militia Department.    :-   _^.	
At HALIFAX they are welcomed by
the Women's Reception Committee, com-
posed of women who haye been engaged in war activities, £ This committee
has been organized for nearly two years
and has bqen doing splendid work.
At ST. JOHN there is also a com-
mittee representing all the organizations
interested. This committee, although
more recently formed, is giving excellent
service. The National Y.W.C.A. has assigned twosecretaries forworkat thisport.
Qn each of these Committees there is
a trained mjrse to give necessary attendance.
At the ports the organizations meet
every boat. Locate the women's luggage. Take charge of the babies. Bring
the women to a cosy rest room. Here
cots and baths are provided for the
children. Hot lunch can be securejl.
Overnight accommodation   is arranged.
Women who are too sick to proceed on
thfiir journey are taken to the local
hospitals.     Women  who arc without
money receive assistance" froitf the Patr
riotic Fund; are provided with lunch
baskets and money to buy meals on the
train. _ j
These "organizations ''also Tsecure" the!*!
railroad tickets for the women, get their! i
money changed, give them such inform-} ''
ation as they need. $_, The workers ac-J
company the women to the train.
The Repatriation Committee have a^
nurse, trained in social work, lent by the
Victorian Order of Nurses to act as the,
committee's representative at each port.]
On the Train!
On each train carrying unaccompanied '
women and children there is a Red Cross j
nurse, experienced in social service who
has been enrolled by the Canadian Asso-J
ciation of Graduate Nurses. *_ This nurse
carries with her first aid supplies and an'
emergency fund of money^, furnished by
the Red Cross Society.
Telegrams are sent ahead to the local
branch of the Patriotic Fund and to the
. local Reception Committees giving the;
number .who will arrive.
On Arrival.
The Rotary Clubs "of Canada have'
undertaken to provide motor cars to
take the women and children from the
station to their homes.
The Patriotic Fund have undertaken
to provide temporary, accommodation
and other necessary assistance at cities
and towns en route and at points of destination.
The main function of this nation-wide
organization is to care for soldiers' dependents. It is therefore fitting that
they should be responsible for arrangements for all the returning women and
children.
Many other well-known organizations
have been doing admirable work—meeting trains, providing rest-rooms, canteens
and hostels and generally caring for the
women and children. It is important
that these organizations continue this
work and o>qpcrai:t* as closely as possible with the Patriotic Fund.

THE MAN WHO BELIEVES IN HIS
' "' . COUNTRY
Activity on the eastern Canadian
markets of'war* loan bonds evinces an
optimism that Is highly encouraging.
Trading ia other war loans has been
steadily Increasing for weeks until
record after record has been broken.
..-This shows that there must be not
only a healthy condition of Canadian
finances but also confidence of the
people in the future of the country.
In peace after war Canada Is grasping the significance ot the situation
even more quickly that it did at the
time of war after peace. While there
Is not the same thrill ln the reconstruction era that is found in time
of war. nevertheless there Is the same
demand for patriotism and optimism.
When citizens demand more war
bonds after hostilities on the field have
ceased there is the assurance that the
purchaser 'believes in the ability of
his country to make good ln peace as
Is war, and optimism ln the commercial world is as vital as on the
battlefield.
BE A RE-PATRIOT
Repatriation is a word Canadians
are Hearing -much about these days.
It is a Johnsonian word, for which
there is no Anglo-Saxon equivalent,
Just as there Is no precedent ln Canada
for conditions that have followed the
European war.
Repatriation means bringing Canadian soldiers home; it Involves the return of their wives and children; it
embraces tine Recharging of returned
men from the army, and their absorption into useful congenial and self-
respecting employment.
Repatriation has to do with employment; It deals with. opportunities
for employment, their expansion and
their mobility. It foresees, that If employment is not avallablo In the east,
it may be in the west, and alms at
the movement of the worker to tho
work, wherever it may be.
Repatriation nevor leaves tire returned man, It Is a constant buckler
for him. Under its command is tho
pension system of Canada, that extends to the returned man as a right
his country's tangible gratitude, as a
moiety of his deserts.
..Repatriation contemplates the readjustment of commercial and industrial conditions; within Its purview are
war workers and others.  ,
It busies Itself with the possibilities
of tho expansion of domestic and foreign trade, that new and greater
chances for employment may be opened, up.
Repatriation demands the b_s». endeavor of every citizen.
JUST   DOGS
Now that the British government
has Issued an official report on the
services of trained dogs with the British army, the dog Is bound to have a
new standing in society. After reading such exploits as the ono where
the ..shepherd dog ran two and one-
half miles in ten minutes, part of the
way- through a deadly barrage, with
a message calling for reinforcements
which saved tho city, one may think
that all the dogs wero. puro breds.
But they were not The report says
(hat "the first dog recruits came from
various' homes for lost dogs, and many
a soldier owes his life to a stray dog
saved from the lethal chamber by.
the war." A. majority of the dogs
that were trained for the service were
strays of the common Variety which
wero picked up by the police and sent
to the training school for dogs.
* When the soldiers return from the
front there^. will be stories told of the
faithful, silent, dumb messengers that
will put to shame, perhaps, some of
the human'Slackers who contributed
far leas 'to their country In Its time
of need. For a brief., review of the
official report of the war records of
these doge* makes no mention of any
conscientious objectors amongst them.
they wero used not only aa messen*
InSfe,' but is searchers through No
lien's Lend for wounded soldiers, and
'itmf ''#e*e used as sentinels and they
tmm. tied wherever they were trusted.
^_'	
When the soldiers come home, says
the Kansas City Star apropos of thlB
report, we may have to abolish tho
timo honored custom of shying dor-
nicks at every stray dog we see. Many
a stray in London that could not afford a llcenso tag won a service flag,
a life pension and an honorable citation on the field of glory. There Is
almost sure to be a feeling of comradeship between the soldier who saw
fighting nnd the dog that served him
while he fought, which we who stayed at home will not be able to understand.
About the worst insult to William
Hohenzollern today is to wish him a
happy birthday.
What is it that wouldn't be tnken as
a gift but on the market gets the most
cash?   Apples. Creston apples.
Alfred and Wlnnifred Mason, who
were found guilty ot a conspiracy to
murder the British premier, have been
released on license. Go where one
will It Is hard to find a better natured
old pet than the British Hon.
For downright Ingenuity in advertising Creston board of trade is good.
Creston valley apples got more advertising out of the U. P. Al's refusal

had they swallowed them skins and
all.
Eisner, a German politician, secured
3nly four of 156 delegates in the re-

PERIOD OF PROSPERITY
NOW BEFORE COUNTRY
At least 300 of the soldiers who returned on the Empress of Asia have
expressed their desire to take up Brit-
iesh Columbia land. They are making
no mistake, for the land is rich and the
climate Is unsurpassed, as many of
them know.
The Bolsheviki are planning for au
army of 2,000,000 for a spring campaign. If the Bolsheviki will look
over the file copies of The Daily News
along-about spring last year and then
note how things turned out for the
world power fiends perhaps they will
have less desire for this spring drive
business.
Things not in the news these days:
"We withdrew our lines to the east
of Bapaume."
"More trouble Is on foot ln Mexico.
The whole American army may be
called  out,  etc."
'Free lunch—step inside and help
yourself."
'City drug stores yesterday ran

Investigations carried on through
Canada by agents of the Dominion
government disclose the fact that the
task of replacing Canada on a peace
footing so far as manufactures are
concerned, can >be accomplished with
little confusion, and that a period of
exceptional prosperity and activity
lies before both Canada and the United States.
Canada, according to the department
of labor, Is entering upon a period of
expansion greater.than at any time
in her history. There is no anxiety
concerning the attitude of the manufacturers of the country, who realize
that they must take full advantage of
their opportunities and minimize the
difficulties of transition from war to
peace conditions. Immeasurable opportunities, embracing every department qp industry, confront the Canadian manufacturers, and with tho
passing of the need for conservation,
the demand for goods of all kinds will
Increase.
Construction Programs
Deterred construction programs, involving the expenditure of scores of
millions of dollars, will be proceeded
with in the spring, and industrial
plants In all parts of Canada are
awaiting only for labor to inaugurate
large schemes for expansion. Stocks
are low and tho call for manufactured
goods will come from every quarter.
The demand from abroad will be enormous. Europe must be reconstituted
and rebuilt, and with the release of
shipping for commercial purposes,
trade with other parts of the globe
will be stimulated.
Price levels, it has been ascertained,
will be generally maintained. Any
possibility of a precipitate fall is precluded by the world-wide demand. No
sudden readjustment of wages is anticipated. General stability, with slow
and steady realignments to meet new
conditions,   Is    the    evident  tendency
throughout the country.
In order that all manufacturers may
better be able to take advantage of
these opportunities, the Dominion government is giving them every assistance. It has reendorsed the principle
of using goods made In Canada, and
has undertaken to stimulate public interest in the movement.
By establishing industrial research
bureaus, it affords valuable aid to existing industries and will foster the
creation-.of new ones. By its program
for the construction of useful public
works it will absorb the products of
many factories. It has stimulated the
building industry by instituting a
credit of $25,000,000 to be drawn on for
housing development, nnd it has in
augurated an Important shipbuilding
program. It Is providing employment
for thousands of men nn the government railways. It is establishing employment offices "through the country
to aid both the employer and employee.
The opportunities, abroad have not
been forgotten. The government proposes to establish credits for work
undertaken by manufacturers and producers in connection with the rehabilitation of the devastated regions of
Europe, which will enable manufacturers to finance contracts on a cash
payment basis, and which should lead
to a large.share of,the business coming to Canada.
A system has been begun for tho
compilotion of accurate details of imports with the object of Indicating tho
directions In which trade may be developed. A trade mission to London,
and a Canadian trade commission with
headquarters In Canada have been established for the fostering of commerce and industry. Important machinery Is being built up by which the
Government will cooperate with the
manufacturer In every possible direction.
MADE   HIS   ESCAPE   THROUGH
RUSSIA
Silver-haired at.29 as a result of the
experience he has been through, l'te.
Harry E. Drope, of the famous Princess Pats, has just returned to Canada.
He Is the first Canadian to have escaped from a German prison camp by
way of Russia—and he knows all
about the Bolsheviki.
In August a cable reached Canada
stating that a member of the famous
Canadian regiment, who had been captured on June 2, 1916, had reached
London with the aid of the Bolsheviki.
That was all, until a few days ago,
when it was learned that Pte. Harry
Drope was the guest of his cousin,
J. B. Drope of Toronto, while passing
through to the west.
•How did you spend the first hour
ofJ your escape?"' coax'ed an audiencfe1
of one. The* grave countenance of
the man who had been through tho
fighting at Sanctuary Wood In the
third battle of Ypres, June, 1916, and
who had experienced the horrors ol
the Hellsbery German prison camp for
22 months, fascinated the interviewer.
"In a bake oven," replied Pte. Dropo
and the first smile of the interviewer
was born.
Pte. Dropo was baking bread with
two Russians in the prison camp at
Hellsburg. Scarcely darings to; hope,
they formed their plnns, and on a
dreary night, under a downpour of
rain, the fight for freedom Was begun.
Ten minutes either way and death
or a worse fate would have to be
faced. The attempt had to be made
while sentries were being changed.
Pte, Drope had slid into the oven
from which he had taken the last pan
of bread. And here he waited until:
the hour sot for the first .meeting—
11 o'clock at night. The meeting
place was the edge of a wood near
the oven.
At 12 o'clock the second Russian
joined his comrades and the game was
on.
AH night in a steady rain they
trudged on, with beating hearts and
aching bodies, their bacKs turned forever, God willing, from the town of
hate they had known for a lifetime.
Early in tho morning the three
weary, nerve-racked travelers came
upon a field of rye, where they lay, 300
yards apart, to avoid the temptation
of even one word of speech with one
another, until mericful darkness came
again. Then the march was resumed
and in their prison garb, unshaven, ill
from months of sickness and deprivation, the three pressed on.
After twelve days of day-time rest
and night-time travel and frugal mealB
of uncooked vegetables, peasants were
encountered who gladly gave 170
marks for the few Rod Cross supplies
which the men had concealed beneath
their Jackets.
On the fifteenth day a German airplane shed proved a great temptation.
One of the Russians suffering from
lung trouble was holding up the flight
for liberty, and they thought a rest
under cover might help him to rally.
The shed offered the first comfortable
sleep ln days of misery and suspense,
and it could not be ignored.
- The sound of the voice of a German
officer broke the first decent sleep
they had hod for a fortnight. Through
the window peered the dread countenance of a young Hun exponent of kul-
ture, out for his dally stroll in the
country.
The poor weak Russian had to tie
abandoned to a fate which his comrades will never learn, while Pte.
Drope and the other made their escape, with the young war lord calling
for somone to arrest the ^uspecta
The two mado good their flight to
the woods again and by thlB time wero
nearlng the Russian border. The sympathies of the peasants, tired of the
German yoke, were now easily enlisted, and a loss conspicuous wardrobe
obtained to replace the prison garb.
Black bread, milk and water were now
occasionally offered nnd at last tho
Dwina river waa reached
The Canadian and the Russian had
now reached the point where they
could on no account retrace a step.
The Germans held one side of tho
river, the Bolsheviki tlie other. To
swim meant to leave their only clothes
behind, where sentries might discover
them and give chase.
"We walked on a way to see if wo
couldn't find a bridge," said Pte.
Drope, "when suddenly we spied a
ferry tied up on the shore. Almost at
the same time we "were petrified by the
sight of seven German sentries. But
there was no alternative. Our beards
were long, our clothes those of the
peasants around and we walked right
into their midst, untied the boat and
pushed out. Twenty yards out we
got a nasty look, but no atMmpt was
made to follow us.
*■ '"Ofi'tTie other shore we met the Bolsheviki, who were friendly to the allies
at that time, and with their help secured passage   to  Moscow,   after   35
Don't Use
Too Much

Quite a few people use too much
Pacific Milk until they become accustomed to ft.
It should be mixed with at least
an equal amount of water for everything (except tea and coffee) and in
many recipes you'll find that 1-3
Pacific Milk and 2-3 water is better.
Pacific Milk contains all tho croam

REAL
VALUE
Is based, not on the price paid for
a commodity, but on the benefit derived. That Is why Zam-Buk Is the
cheapest skin healer on the market
—because the benefit derived is 95%
greater than can be got from
ordinary ointments. This is due to
the fact that Zam-Buk ia oil rnedt-
cirre—100%. Ordinary ointment!
Are 5% medicine and the balance
animal fat.
The superiority ef Zam-Buk ll
proved by the many casee ot chronlo
skin trouble and old sores which
yield to the power of Zam-Buk after
all other treatments have failed.
The unusual power pf penetration
which Zam-Buk possesses enables It
to reach tbe underlying tissues,
where skin troubles have their
"root." Then tbe germicidal properties In Zam-Buk destroy all
germs. Until thia is done healing
can never be thorough. The reason
why sores that have been treated
with ordinary ointments break out
again Is because the remedy has
never got to the Beat of the trouble,
but has only healed over the outer
skin. Zam-Buk, on the contrary,
uproots skin disease, and the our*
Is complete and permanent
Zam-Buk should always be used

pimples, abscesses, ulcers, blood-
poisoning, bad leg, piles, cuts, burns

In Moscow members of the British
mission arranged his passage to Archangel und thence to London, whero he
was greeted by the authorities and
recognized as the source of valuable
Information.
Pto. Drope says that a revolution In
Germany Is Inevitable, owing to the
terrible conditions existing. It In a
common sight to see children of 12
or 14 years of age going about In the
streets with only a sheet to cover
them. '
Ho says he cannot praise his Rub*
sian comrade too highly, for he says;
"In all' my life I have never met a
man so near the essence of a gentleman. I can nevef forget his gallantry."
And after all the_e experiences Pte.
Drope is game to go back! Is It nny
wonder the whole world honors a
"Princess Pat"?
SURGERY  MIRACLES
Mirny wonderful operations hnve
Ireen performed at the Edmonton general military hospital, which has been
a special surgical centre for wounded
soldiers requiring prolonged treatment.
Lleut.-Col. Spencer Mort said that
42,000 patients, drawn from all the
expeditionary forces, have been .treated since the hospital was converted
from a poor-law .infirmary, and with
Its ring of 29 auxiliary hospitals It
has accommodation for 3500 patients,
A speciality of the hospital's work
i.s tho treatment of fractured femur
by a new method, ln which bandages
are not required. Skin grafting arid
blood transfusion have been common
operations, and R.A.M.C. orderlies frequently volunteered to give blood to
patients. An experiment is now being
tried to replace a broken bridge of
the human nose 'with a sparrow's
breast-bone.
A patient who had a piece of bone
protruding into the surface of his
brain became so morose and Ill-tempered that even the nursing staff
avoided him as much as possible. The
bone was removed by an operation
and afterwards the man became the
most cheerful patient ln the hospital,
singing and whistling all day long.
FLOATING   SAFES
AFTER INFLUENZA
The Grippe, Fevers end Other Blood-
Poisoning, Prostrating  Diseesee
The best course of restorative treatment, purifying the blood, stimulating
the liver, building up the whole system, Is:
Hood's Sarsaparllla, the standard
blood purifier, before eating.
Hood's Pills (cathartic, mild and effective) as needed.
These two great medicines work In
perfect harmony, improve appetite, aid
digestion, relieve biliousness and constipation. They make convalescence
real, rapid and perfect. They are also
of service in the prevention of disease and the preservation of health
Each Is good alone; both are good
tngnther.    Oet them  today.
As a means of preventing registered mall and valuable articles owned
by passengers from being lost when
a ship founders, two Italian inventors have developed a system of
floating safes for installation in
ocean liners. The arrangement consists in part of a large cylindrical
steel casing placed vertically fn the
middle of the ship, the top flush with
the upper deck and covered with a
loose-fitting, easily .lifted cap. The
bottom of the well is closed by a
concave head of considerable
strength.
Within tho shaft is a perforated
shell of considerably less diameter.
In the lower part of the inner casing
there is a hermetically sealed float.
This bears the name of the vessel and
is attached to one end of a flexible
cable wound about a reel. Arranged
above this is a series of nonslnkable
vaults. Doors are provided in both
the outer and inner casings at the
various decks so that ready access Is
gained to the safes.
Should a ship thus equipped sink,
water would enter the well and cause
the floating, vaults to shoot out of
the tube and rise.to the surface. The
purpose of the float in the bottom
of the shaft, which has the ca-fte attached, Is to nerve as a marker, indicating the position of the wreck
and identifying It.
To demonstrate that the system
would work if put to the.test, one of
the builders recently allowed himself
to be locked inside one of the floating safes. This was held in a double
casing of the kind just described, and
dropped off a raft into deep water.
Scrap iron and a, large anchor were
secured about the outer steel cylinder
to cause It to sink to the bottom.
In 80 seconds the safe reached tho
surface, shooting about five feet into
tho air. A moment later the man
was liberated.

war iuu m chixorw
(By Daily News Leased "Wire.)
. TORONTO, jjait 27.—Speaking nt
the Canadian club here today on the
purposo and plans of the national war
savings committee, Sir Herbert Ames,
chairman of that committee, <at the
outset referred to losses sustained by
Canada during the war.
"Sixty thousand men," he said, "are
coming1 back to us broken In health
and maimed of limb. We can, with a
somewhat greater def initeness, esti -
mate financial losses. .First comes tho
actual costs of tho war; the disbursements made in raising, equipping and
maintaining our troops. This will
approximate $1,400,000,000. Then wo
have assumed—and rightly—tho burden of supporting the widows and assisting the disabled men. This obligation capitalized would represent
an indebtedness of not less than $600,-
000,000 more. While it is probably yet
too early to accurately determine what
financial burden the war has placed
upon Canada, I think we may assume
that it represents a capitalized
amount of at least $2,000,000,000, that
is to say, a debt of $250 on every individual  in  the  Dominion.
('Serious (though .the situation In
Canada is, the outlook is hopeful and
we believe that Canada will be ono
of the first nations of the world to
emerge from the incubus of the war."
Referring to the war savings committee nnd the reason for Its appointment, Sir Robert said that tho Canadian people would be called upon to
lend their savings still further to tho
government if we are to sustain unity
und provide markets for products
when sold abroad.
"New loans must be floated if our
natjuml resources are to he developed
and it is to the regular investor that
such enterprise;, turn," ho declared.
"Should the government require—as ii
will—to make further borrowings it
cannot expect In future, as In the past,
to draw upon tho industrial surplus,
nor upon the re-investment capital to
the same extent as heretofore. Then
we are to sustain industry during the
rcostabllshmcnt period and tho government Is called upon to provide
money to this end, *t must look elsewhere to borrow. In fact it must appeal to tno small investor.
•'Now It Is in view of the situation
that I havo endeavored to describe
that the government of Cannda has
found it desirable to introduce whnt
Is known as the "war savings stamps"
idea which has been mnrvelously successful in Great Britain and in tho
United States.
"National war savings committee is
not planning for a 'drive.' The work
that they have beforo them is not of
a sensational character. Thoy intend
to carry on a continual propaganda In
favor of thrift and the degree attained will be evinced by the number of
stamps held."

them to the womens auxiliary." But
the women wouldn't take tliem.
So the best the board could do was
to sell tho fruit and it brought the
best price In town at that.
Incidentally, It Is pointed out that
the market irrl.ee in Edmonton is littlo
more than the Creston board paid for
the apples. In fact, there wrrs not
enough difference to pay the express
and consequently the treasury is
minus a few shekels for express, brrt
the whole country is talking about the
best apples ln the world thnt couldn't
bo given away but could be sold for
the best prices on the market.

Catarrh
Of The Stomach
Is Dangerous
"Thousands have it and Don't Know
It," Says Physician—Frequently
Mistaken for Indigestion—How
to   Recognize  and  Treat.
"Thousands of people suffer more
or less constantly from furred, coated
tongue, bad breath, sour burning stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in
stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind
and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trouble
is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes nNew York physician.
Catarrh of tho stomach is dangerous because tho mucous membrane
lining of the stomach is thickened and
a coating of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with tho food and digest them.
This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented unasslmllated
food. Tho blood is polluted and carries tho infection throughout tho body.
Gastric ulcers aro apt to form and
frequently an ulcer is tho first sigi*
of a deadly cancer.
In catarrh of tho stomach a good
and safe treatment is to tako before
meals a teaspoonful of pure Blsurated Magnesia in half a glass of hot
water as hot as you can comfortably
drink it. Tho hot water washes th*
mucous from the stomach walls and
draws the blood to the stomach while
the blsurated magnesia ts an excellent solvent for mucous and increases
tho efficiency of tho hot water treatment. Moreover tho Blsurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but
harmless antacid which will neutralize
any excess of hydrochloric acid that
may bo In your stomach and sweeten
its food contents. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind
should soon follow. Blsurated Magnesia is not a laxative, is harmless,
pleasant and easy to take and can be
obtained from any local druggist. Don't
confuse Blsurated Magnesia with other
forms of magnesia, milks, citrates, etc.
but get it in the* puro blsurated form
(powder or tablets) especially prepared for this purpose.

Partnership
Tho making of even the most

a. partnership of at least three
persons.
Tho effectiveness of the service depends on the degree of
team-play existing between these
three partners—tho person calling", who co-operates by consulting tho directory and calling by
number always; the operator, by
making the connection quickly,
courteously and with the maximum degree of human accuracy,
and the person called, by answering promptly.
The greatest satisfaction of
service Is attained when the sec- \
ond paitn-er, the operator, 1s

and courtesy which she is always
anxious to show tho other two
members of the partnership.

(By Daily News Leased Wire)
VANCOUVER. B. C, Jan. 27.—As
i ha result of a bad start, plainly from
ov r-anxiety, Vancouver Is now se-
cv.tly in the cellar, while Seattle has
a l'.tirly good lead, Pete Muldoon's men
wi.ning tonight* 5 to 3, in a game
ex- t.n£ in spots, listless in others.
Tl*-' locals were outplayed by the visitor ■ in the first two periods, but came
ba '-, strong and scored two goals to
non.- In th^ final, but their rally was
too hits and there was.too big a handicap :.,;ainst thom. The largest crowd
of tli"-* year sy,w the game, the paid attendance being more than 7000. This
fact, and the Importance of the game
seemed to make tho locals over-anxious to win. They tried hard, except
for part of the second period, when
they lagged a bit, but on top of everything else Happy Holmes, in goal for
the visitors, played a sensational game,
stopping the shots with all parts of
his body and paraphanelia, from all
angles and at times when the locals
were right on top of him any they
locked like sure counters. Lehman, on
tho other hand, was off his usual style
for the first part of the game.
Cully Wilson, Seattle's right wing
man, sustained a nasty fracture of
tho nose in the first period pnd may

Manager Muldoon announced after the
game.   Foyston was not in uniform.

Specks Floating
Before His Eyes
When .pecks stal-t to float before
the eyes, when everything turns black
tor a few seconds and you feel as if
you wero going to faint, you may rost
assured that your liver is not working
properly.
Tho essential thing to do In all cases
where tho liver Is slow, lazy or torpid,
is to stir it up by tho use of a medicine
that will clear away all the waste and
poisonous matter from tho system and
prevent as well as cure all the troubles
arising from this accumulated mass
which Iras collected In the system.
Keep the bowels open by using Milburn's Laxa-Llver Pills and yorr will
have no liver trouble of ony kind. They
will clear away all the waste and effete matter which has collected and
make the liver active and working properly.
Mr. John It. Morrison, Grand River
Falls, N.S., writes: "Several months
ago I was troubled with a sour stomach and Irad specks floating before my
eyes. I took five vials of Milburn's
Laxa-Llver Pills, which cured and
cleaned my blood before any length of
time. I told my friends about it and
they got some, and they, too, find
themselves different slnco they took
them. I recommend your pills very
highly."

These are the word of Mrs. Arthur

they have used Dodd's Kidney Pills;
they have found them good.
"Yea," sho says, in speaking of her
case, "I suffered from kidney disease
for six months beforo I was married
in October, 1917, and two weeks after
I was married I was laid up. Tho

advised mo to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills. I commenced to take them at

was perfectly cured. I will always
keep them in tho house, as they are

Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used
to treat rheumatism, sciatica, diabetes,
dropsy, sore back, gravel and other
simitar ills. That they continuo to
give satisfaction Is evidenced by their
ever-growing popularity.

ALUES LEAVE
RUSSIAN TOWN
Evacuate Shenkursk to Avoid Further
Casualties—Little   Interference
By Bolsheviki.
(By Daily News Leased Wiro.)
ARCHANGEL, Jan. 26.—(By, the As
sociated Press)—The town of Shenkursk was evacuated Saturday afternoon by the American and allied
forces in order to avoid unnecessary
casualties. The allied forces moved
northward to a line along the Vaga
river.
Tho withdrawal from Shenkursk
was carried out successfully. A number of wounded in tho American hospital were removed in sleds. There
was little or no interference by the
Bolsheviki. A large number of peasants and Russias troops also moved
out with the American forces.
Allied headquarters here in an
ncunoing today that the evacuation
of Shenkursk on Saturday -s was1 to
avoid the possibility of a long siege,
revealed that it was only by a ruse
that an American battalion nd other
allied forces succeeded'in escping from
being surrounded.
T-Jie Bolsheviki, who had already
closed in on tho town from the south,
east and west, had appeared in considerable numbers of the highway
north of the town and had cut all tele
graph wires. To escape them the
American troops slipped out of the town
along a seldom used trail through the
swamps, bringing with them virtually
.ill of their equipment. All the American guns were removed or rendered
useless.
In a fight Saturday in which the
Bolsheviki were defeated, the Ameri
an troops captured several prison
.■.rs, a number of machine guns and
other equipment. The American and
illied airplanes continued active and

under the auspices of the Dominion
government. The people who attend
ed first were enthused by the display
of lethal weapons of many descrip
lions, by the photograph'^, airplanes
and soon their enthusinsm infected thi
whole city and surrounding country
The exhibit is being taken from Calgary to Vancouver,
It is impossible to mention or de
scribe all there is to be seen in this
exhibition. Aided by the wonderful
photographs that adorn the walls and
one's own imagination, the visitor I.s
able to procure some real thrills down
at the Pryce-Johes building, where the
trophies are on display. Those bat
tered little machine guns, sitting there
silent and dour, their stutterings,
death-dealing rattle finished forever
have to their credit many a human
life. Those heavy brutes of artillery
whoso rounded, ugly mouths had spat
out death, destruction and strafing,
woro now being mauled over by small
(joys, who worked mysterfous wheels
and turned screws nnd peered down
the muzzle and forgot all about the
horrors that tlie gun had dealt out
during its career. There were shells
f all sorts and sizes*:, rifles aud hand
renades, pieces of zeps, with a whole
German airplane, with machine gun
Jn turret mounting, a one-man tank,
aiinnerwerfers of all sizes ad types,
German clothing, helmets, money, med-
Us, all lho way down to the private
llary of a German private.
Everything is here, and at some
time or other it hus been through the
fire and fury of bloody war, and bears
the marks to show it, Having heard
ao much about tlie deadly barbed wire
entanglements, one gets a good idea
of the spltefulness of it, by a roll that
is on exhibit. The main strain is a
good deal thicker thnn the ordinary,
kind, and it is decorated ot short intervals by four-point jaggers. Altogether it is a collection of machinery
and weapons which look bad enough to
see them silent, but when ono imagines
the purposo for which they are intended—ugh!
Thore arc nearly 200 photographs,
md taken as they were by the Canadian official photographer at closo
juartors, and under all conditions of
warfare, they are a fine exhibition in
themselves . The visitor will be sure
to soo No. i 69. It illustrates the taking of Vimy rldgo.

Wounded  Five Times  in  Battle Wm
Undeservedly Put in French Prison
on  Murder Charge
(By Daily News Leased Wire)
HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 27.—Trooper
George Clark, a Nova Scdtian, who
enlisted with the Winnipeg Black
Devils in 1914 and later transferred to
the Fort Garry Horse, is bacjc in Canada with one of the strangest records
resulting from the war.
Trooper Clark, of course, wears the
1914 star. He also wears the ribbon
of the D. C. M. with bar and the
French war cross with Palm received
at the hands of Marshal Foch. He
tells a story of languishing many
weeks in various French prisons foi
lowing a charge of murdering a man
he had never seen, and -whom the
courtmartial, disposing of the case, es
tabllshed he had never seen. Trooper
Clark, who states that all the facts
in his caso are included in the military records, protests he has been
given a "raw deal" and states that he
proposes to nsk the Canadian govern*
ment to see that reparation is mado
for the wrongs inflicted upon himself
and his English bride of a year by
reason of the false charge. Trooper
Clark was wounded five times, but
was required to leavo the line on only
two occasions.
He is going to his old home in
Maitland, Hants county, to see his
mother before proceeding west, where
he Is planning to take up a tract of
land.

SHOWED  HUN OFFICER
HOW TO HANDLE MEN
LONDON.—Ono British naval officer
showed a German naval captain how
to handle his undisciplined sailors during the surrender oi' the German warships to the allied fleet off the Firth of
Forth.
It is related lhat when the British
officer boarded a German battleship to
make an official examination he found
numbers of Gorman sailors lolling about
and some of tliem making themselves
very much at home ln the captain's
cabin. Many were wearing armlets
inscribed "Soldatcn und Arbelter," indicating their allegiance to the soldiers
and workers' councils which brought
about tho revolution.
"You will need no explanation, sir,
for my presence here,".said the German captain, approaching the Englishman.   "You see how things are."
"You will please converse with me
in your own language," replied thn
British officer, returning the salute.
"You will also order these men out
of those quarters before wc do anything else."
"What would be the good to command them?" asked the German.
"Very well',* snapped the Britisher
as he swung around. Look here, you
men," ho thundered in German, "If I
have any mme of this insubordination
I'll put all of you in irons. Attention!"
Every man sprung lo his feet. Cigars and cigarettes disappeared and
Ihe talking ceased.
"Fall In there," ordered the Britisher.
"And you,"—he indicated a petty officer—"you take these men away. And
clear the lobby, too. See that they
behave themselves or I'll know the reason why.   That'll do.   Carry on."
The petty officer stiffened saluted
and rapped out a word of command.,
In a moment the cabin was clear.
"Nuw," said tho English commander, "I'll give you your orders."
TOO   FAT   FOR   A   U-BOAT.
There are so many tragic stories
in connection with tho murderous
warfare of tho Gorman submarines

U-boat to bring back their skipper,
who was to be made a prisoner.
"All unwillingly,." the story goes,
"the men row their skipper to the
pirate and in reticent sailor fashion
wish him good luck as he mounts her
iron side, lie reaches the deck and
Is incontinently ordered below, Kngllsh and Germans looking on, tho former glum at the fate of their captain,
the latter jubilant that they have gallantly accounted for another hateful
British ship.
"The skipper, waving his .adieu to
his late crew, repairs to the conning
tower, and tho facetious Huns crowd
round to assist him below. Cautiously he lifts one leg into ihe darksome
hatch und thon lho other.
"And then—there is an hiatus, for
it now appears that ho Is of such
Fulstaffian proportions that ho can
gel no farther. Even the commander
takes a hand in the struggle. But
all In vain; get him below thoy cannot. The conning tower was not made
tor the accommodation of such a
jovial, rotund British. Even the,
perspiring commander is compelled to
admit that their prisoners cannot be
cribbed and cabined in their private
craft.
"Fortunately the U-boat commander was not devoid of humanity and
a saving grace of humor, and so instead of submerging and leaving him
to drown, ho ordered the captain back
to Ills boat, a command obeyed witli
alacrity, tbo British jacks grinning audibly and the Huns louklng as crest
fallen   as   priates   usually-   do   when
balked of their prey.
"As the U-boat disappeared she waH
greeted with a salvo of ironical cheers,
and with joke and laughter the torpedoed sailors addressed themselves to
their oars, feeling prouder of their 'old
man' than over."

$21,000 FOR CITY
HOUSING PLAN
Council    Gets    Outline    of    Province
Proposal en Loan from Dominion
' for Soldiers Homes
Twonty-i no thousund dollars is to
bo rtpproprlntod to Nelson to enable
returned soldiers, widows and dc
pendents of soldiers to obtain homes
of their own, according to the plans
of the provinco as outlined by Hon.
T. D. 'Pattiillo, minister of lands, In a
letter to tho city council, which was
read at the meeting1 In the city ball
last evening".
The.council decided not to tako any
definite steps with regard to the offer
at tho present time, but the city clerk
was Instructed to write to the minister of lands asking' him to hold the
offer open until some future date,
when on the return of the soldiers
some more definite conclusions as to
the needs if the city in this regard
may be formulated. It was thought
that the requirements of tho soldiers
could bo outlined better when men begin returning in greater rra'mbers.
An order-ln-ootincll was passed recently by the Dominion government
appropriating the sum of $25,000^000
for a general housing scheme. This
money will bo lent to the provinces In
proportion to their population, the
provinces tn turn lending proportionate sums to the different towns. British Columbia will probably get the
sum of $1,100,000 to $1,260,000 under
this arrangement.
Among the other points In British
Columbia which are listed In the housing scheme appropriations are: Cranbrook, which will receive $7500; Enderby, $2850; Fernle, $15,000; Grand
Forks, $5400; Greenwood, $2100; Kamloops, $13,500; Kaslo, $2700; Phoenix,

Charted F, M<?t1ar<t%
Increased -wages paid to employees
was largely responsible for the deficit
shown in the balance sheet of tho Nelson Street railway 'for 1918, according
to the report of City Engineer H. P.
Thomas, 'which waB read a't 'the'council meeting 'In the olty hall last night.
A total of 12600 extra was paid for
wages. This completely overshadowed
an increase in receipts which Amounted to $1400.
The report Is as follows:
"Your street railway department has
during 1018 been kept running with
the minimum of expense, and as is
always the case ln such circumstances
will require a little more attention and
therefore a little more money in 1919.
The overhead" trolley wire has not
been replaced on tho main track (from
Latimer street to Falrvlew) except at
the corners for many years, and the
result Ib that lnsead of being round
wire size No. 2-0 it Is thin copper
ribbon looking for a good excuse to
fall "down.
This should all be replaced and wi".
be cheaper in the lpng run, than
patching up this old worn' "wire, which
almost always break wherever an ear
is removed to keop a span wire in
place.
The cars themselves are only off
duty two weeks in the year and are
overhauled in that time, whloh Is hot
sufficient for tho work to be done on
them. They got a touch of varnish
once a year but that is not enough
and it is high timo tho city decided
to buy, the third car so long talked
about. In this connection tho plan
poken of two years ago in which a
slnglo ended car was. to be purchased
and a Y installed in Falrviow, and
these cars converted Into single ended cars also, is hy far tho -Jest, as It
will enablo us to put on ono man cars
as soon as the laws of British Columbia arc so altered aB to make this
legal, and the ono man car is tho only
possible hopo Nelson has for a pay-
ng struct railway for some time to
come.
Money can bo saved in 1919 liy tho
purchase of some liquid weed killer to
be used In spraying tho tracks to kill
the myriads of dandyllons and other
weeds whicli spring up on the road
bed.
"In the past it hns been tho custom
to put a gang on to out theso weeds.
This is not however satisfactory be-
cauBo it lessens the ballast on tho
track, and the weeds grow up again
almost at once, but with a spray from
two 60-gallon drums mounted on a
flat car the entire track could be
sprayed with weed killer in one day,
at a cost of about $30,> while It takes
about $800 to do this work by hand
with a gang of men. As this weed
killer comes from the east it should
be ordered soon so as 'to be hero in
time for the spring, aa freight is mov
ing very slowly at present,
"In dealing with tho financial- state
ment for litis please romember that no'
charge is mado to the department for
the electrical energy UBcd, which at
cost is worth $7.13.12, so that If this
department paid Its share of the up
keep of the power plant, its statement
would show a further debit of this
amount. Tho Increase in cost of
operation for 1918 ovor 1917 Is almost
all duo to Increased wages: $1000 extra
for motormen and conductors, $1000
extra for track work, $500 extra for
substation attendance are the main
oxtras, but these wages had to be paid
to give the employees enough to live
on, and I cannot see how any reduc
tion on these Items can be made at
present or until we get one-man car
operation, and this Is. at 'present Cb'n-
trary to the laws of British Columbia,
"Our receipts are $li'00 hlghor than
1917, but this advance, large'&s it was
for this department, was not enough
to keop pace with the extra expett'
dltures caused by Increased wageB due
to the high cost of living.
"This department, like the 'gas de.
partment, constitutes a problem for
your earnest consideration during
1919."

COAL BOOSTED
OTJSCOST
Report for Year Is Given by City Engineer at Council
Meeting.     *.
High price of coal was atribngthe
causes of the deficit in the gas department in 1918, according to the report of City Engineer H. P. Thomas,
which was read at the council meettnc
last night   His report follows:
'"Your gas department has had ont
of the worst possible combinations to
combat during the last year, namely,
excessive Increase ln cost of coal, increase in freight rates, increase In cost
of materials, so that new extensions'
eould not be put in with any chance'
bt paying on account of the excessive;
first cost. i.i
"Fortunately we had no heavy work*)
expense, ob we were able to run OH
the old bench of.4's till October,' a_rt\j
On October 14th we blew In the new
bench of 5's built last year. You ww
doubtless be pleased to know that th|J
new bench of fives is a splendid suo
cess, and by using It now and repa
ing the old bench of 4'B Instead
facing a 41200 outlay for a new bent!
we can repair one of the flues,
patch this old bench and get at lei
twelve months' use out of this bene)
although it has now1 been
longer than It is usual for a ben
to last
"We are now, for  the  first  tin
since the gas works was built, direct!
under the observation bt the goverl
ment inspectors as an office for th
Inspection of gas and electricity ha
been opened in Nelson. We will, then
fore, have to have our 500 gas meten
reteBted during 1919, Which, of court
will mean a considerable expense
wages as well as fees to the gbvera
ment.
"In making the tests for the heat 1
valves bt tho gas we have fauna I
having only a dally output of son
18,000 or 19,000 cubic feet ".tibvi
holder bt 60,000 cubic feet capacity^
takes three days to alter the qui
of the gas besides giving tho gas
th holder three days to deposit'
tho tildes of the holder many high
hydro-carbons, whloh have a high i
orlflc value. We are, therefore, -u
running the holder about one-tb.li
full, of approximately with a capaci
of 20,000 cubic feet, thus giving;!
far as we can no chance for thta M
aration ot the Ingredients of tho C
"In considering 1919 we mustrecog,
that wo must cither extend our syst*
or close down. We cannot make
paying proposition of the gas worj
with its present small number of col
sumers, and whether In the face
present high prices both of materia
and labor it will be feasible to extol
the system Is a question which mu
bo decided, because even if the olty 1
.willing to furnlBh'the money neeesat
to do its part, unless the consumer j
prepared to pay his share beyond f
property lino wo can do nothing, j
while we have had various prospect*
consumers in line with a view to 3
tending, the cost to them under
present high prices has been more t
thely felt they could afford, and j
thermore, it Is a question whether]
money so extended by the olty col
not be utilized to better advantage J
pushing electrical cooking.
"The gas works is being condudl
as economically and scientifically .1
la possible, and  if coal were to i
back tp its pre-war price it could j
made at least to pity its way; but I
der  existing  circumstances  It foBJ
a problem requiring some  deep i
careful thinking, as any further o
ital expenditure may he simply »|
ther tax on the already oveitaxal
forts of this department   to
self-supporting."
