During the strike of last June there were days without knowledge of the outer world almost entirely, owing to the loss of operating staffs for the wlr- es; now the thre local papers have had to suspend publication because they have no paper on which to print their editions, This ls due to tho dispute with the papers mak. ers at Fort Francis and there seems little likelihood of any very early settlemen and supply of paper. In order that the people may not be entirely ignorant of the doings in the big world this time the local papers have made a joint arrangement with the Canadian Press whereby a quarter sheet will be Is. sued for distribution containing a fair utllne of the news of the day, This will be issued twice daily and hung up In proflnent places, out side postofflces, etc. On this meagre print the public must rely for Its information for a few days. ■ The only other places so far near Ing a famine in news and newsprint are Regina, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, but tlio outlook there Is tempered by the Xaot that one or other of the newspapers may be able td oohtlnue to publish for week yet. After that thero will be a dark spot In the news situation over the two provinces, at least so it would seem tonight.

If the present negotiations do not lead to a settlement it is expeced that the seizure of tho paper by the sheriff will at once take place.

Dealing with same subject the Pall Mall Gazette says: "The sifnlflcance of the bolshevist activities in Asia Is probably a subject of understatement rather than of exaggeration. Bolsheviki leaders have shown remarkable power in moulding tho ignorant population of Russia to their will by a skilful mixture of fear and falsehood. If they can extend the process to India, they may produce a menace whirh ordinary terms are quite in adequate to describe. No confidence can rest in tho defensive provisions of that country."

No .Danger To India LONDON-, Jan., 16.—While thero seemingly, is no dispute of the menace o£ the Red armies to Persia and neighboring countries, there is said to be no direct military men- aco to India at the moment.

In military quarters here it is declared that although undoubtedly the AfghanB and bolsheviki, should they combine militarily, would be 'able to cause considerable trouble along the northwest frontier, such an attack in itself could bo handled by the British, but, it is said an undoubted dangerous situation might arise were tho bolshevik able to start revolts at the same time in various parts of the country. The only roads Into India through the mountains from Afghanistan are by way of Quetta and the Narrow Khyber Pass, which Is strongly defended by tho British. Moreover, Afghanistan has no, railway communication. Therefore, taking all things Into consideration, it is asserted that it would bo extremely difficult for a large Red army to work through Afghanistan effectively.

The general expectation in French circles is that Holland will refuse to deliver the former monarch. , It ls pointed out ln supreme council circles that ln case the Dutch government is disinclined to deliver Count Hohenzollern it has a foundation for its resistance tn the fact that tho offenses named in the peace treaty, namely, "Crimes against International morality and the sacredness of treaties" are not provided for in the Dutch laws nor in tho treaties between Holland and the allied powers, regarding extradition.

Victoria, Jan. 16.—Although Vancouver took the hockey game from Victoria tonight by the narrow margin of 2 to 1, there was nothing spectacular about the hockey dished up by either team and it was certainly not by superior hockey that the men from the mainland left the ice victorious. Victoria appoared to different team from that which defeated Seattle In their last engagement hero and the clock-like combination which had come to be a feature o£ Eddie Oatman's team was not working with that well-oiled precision which delights Victoria fans when- they see it working and getting goals. The locals started well enough, at least some of them, and Dunderdale, who appeared on the ico with his forehead covered in plaster as a result of the cut ho received in his last game played ln Vancouver, was going Just as strong as ever and he and Oatman brought off some good rushes only to have their work spoiled by feebleness of tho left wing. About the middle of the period Moose John-'.. son had a nasty tumble on his ribse and had to retire and when Wilf. Loughlin was sent to warm the bench for three minutes the Victoria attack was completely disrupted and the locals had to bo contented, most part, with defense play. With neither slide able to get through the opposing defense, the first period ended without a score being registered. Victoria, with the "Moose' back on the ice were the first to take up the attack again in the second period and Dunderdale speedily tested Lehman with a couple of h6t ones. The Vancouver goalie was hard put to It for a time to keep the puck out of his net, and on several occasions had to leave his goal for an excarslon down the Ice, once as far us the blue line. In the third period, after four and a halt minutes, Johnson was successful ln one ot his fine efforts, and passing the puck to Dunderdale, the latter netted It for Victoria's lone tally of the evening. A lone effort by Cook was responsible for the odd goal which gave Vancouver tho game Just about threo minutes before the final bell rang. Lineup Victoria - Fowler, Johnson, C. Loughlin, W.

Three yedrt, of experimental! oin with ,the complex ore of the gredit Sullivan lead-zinc mine at Kimher- loy, owned hy the Consolidated MlnV in j&r Smelting company of Canada, camp to a head at Trail this week, with the completion of the 600-ton fill for the treatment of zinc ore that is the principal output of this property. Large though this mill is as mills in the Kootenay go, it ig still in a sense an experimental mill; though it will handle a commercial tonnage, but it represents the entry on the final lap of the long grind to solve the Sullivan's problem. During 1919 the Sullivan sent to tho Trail' smelter 136,536 tons of ore, 6f which 119,825 were classed as zinc, and the balance lead, and had the One Big Union strike not reduced output during the fall months tlie tonnage would.have been larger still. The mine now is among the largest on the continent. But its 1019 output in two.or. three, years will look small, and the Sullivan will rank as one of the great mines of the world, when finally the great 2,000 or 2,500-ton concentrator is built at Kimberley to which the plant just completed in connection with the Consolidated smelter at Trail looks forward. Oil Flotation the Touchstone Briefly put, the oil flotation process, in one form or another, is the solution of the complex zinc ore problem - of the Kootenay, andi all properties that have a * proportion of zinc ore and are equipped with Inills have installed some form of it. This has arisen within the last four or five years, and the big laboratories at Trait have been the hig agency in developing it. Go back beyond five years, and every ton of silver-load oro that had more than 10 per cent of 7,lnc paid a penalty In extra treatment charges. Tho zinc in the ore was not only not paid for, it was charged for. The Lucky .Tim oro, which was exported, was the one exception to the rule. That zinc mining is now an important branch of the mining industry in the Kootenay is due practically to this new method of separation. It was in 1917 that the Consolidated company started its ' experiments with oil: .flotation with, rth'ej Sullivan fere nnd? fft^^ssjanJ firerf particularly" in^mmu: \\The' Snflivan ore. is a finely crystalline complex miture of lead, iron and zinc sulphides carrying only three to six per cent insoluble. So intimately are the minerals named associated that grinding of the ore to 65 mesh liberates only 35 to 45 per cent of the galena, and inspection under the microscope of 200 mesh faterlaJ shows grains containing both galena and blende. Separation by Test The first experiments, based laboratory tests showed the process to be feasible, consisted in roasting. tho ground ore at such a temperature that the lead and iron sulphides were oxidized, while only a small percentage of the zinc sulphide was so affected and then submitting it to concentration and oil flotation, The process was found to be sound, but was discarded for practial reasons.-- The plant in "which these experiments were carried on was a specially built "mill of 250 tons daily capacity, equipped witli gravity concentration tables and magnetic machines, while tho roasting was done in 25-foot furnaces. After this, a long series of large- scale concentration testa were carried out, on a variety of lines, which ended in the conclusion that wet magnetic separation of pyrhotlte from blends was feasible commer' daily. * One step In the process was a preparatory heat treatment which C. Thorn, of the concentration staff received the credit for suggesting, for, the ore previous to wet separation. This .resulted In a, new mill, this one of 150 tons, being built. This is the plant that later was increased to 250 tons capacity,- op' erated on Sullivan ore the greater part of 1919, and has now been en- larged to 000 tons. "-. ') Two Processes Under Test ■Ah a result of laboratory preferential flotation tosts, continuously carried on, with the object of- separating the ore into the constituent lead sulphite, zinc sulphide, and iron sulphide. It is concluded that a satisfactory treatment by concentration tor the re of this mammoth Koot- enay property can bo devised, the fundamental elements' of it being (1) table concentration, (2) ' wet magnetic separation, (3) preferential natation. Incidentally, this method, applied to tho leachod' tailing from tho electrolytic zinc plant, recovers the small proportion of zinc sulphide therein contained. The fi00-ton mill, is now complot .od, will Illustrate the two processes on those linos :Uiiit piuiuiso the'most success, and the respective methods will be tried out against each other for a year or so, to determine which', if either, is the ono that vfl\\ ultimately treat, at Kimberley Itself, traiijsjU!t,ions--T.iHtpd! ti,(, hTbtefl or quadrupled output: Of the mighty Sullivan, ,. ,.■ Republic is-i RawMding and Ottawa, Hauling Ore—Neal Ships.

In the United States magnesium sulphate occurs with other minerals, and Is obtained as a by-product. If the discoverers of the deposits of magnesium sulphate at Basque, B. C, had announced at the outset that they had found 21,000,000 tons of epsom salt their statement would probably have aroused much amusement in chemical circles. Careful examination by a number of reputable analysts bear out the fact that such a claim is entirely conservative. Nature has done almost everything except put the epson salt in paper bags. It will be available shortly for medicinal use. The product has already been in- \ troduced to Canadian tanners. Tho mining operations are comparatively simple. Rollers and drying apparatus are all that are required to prepare the product for the market. This new industry has come into being within the last few months. \ The proximity of the deposits to the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways makes it seem remarkable that they have escaped the notice! hi scientists so long. Basque on tAa I two transcontinental lines, is abiiit 190 miles from Vancouver The deposits are located at Epsom Spur, about three miles from the station, consisting of five lakes, the largest of which covers about eight acres, and the smallest is two acres ,,ln extent. The lakes are 1,500 feet above the railway and 2,500 feet above sea level. Boring; lo 10 Feet Depth Borings have been made in Lake No. 1 and at a depth of 40 feet the drill was still in epsom salt. It has not been ascertained to what greater depth the deposit extends. It is apparent, however, that there are many millions of tons available for commercial use, and the storehouse of nature is sufficient to supply all needs for Canadian and export business for an indefinite period. Deposits of a somewhat different character have been encountered in Saskatchewan, and these, too, are being developed. In the spring of the year tho lake Is covered with water upwards of six inches deep, Tho warm sun of June and July evuDoratos the water and leav.es a stratum of magnesium sulphate of remarkably pure quality. The lakes are in the dry belt and the rainfall does not exceed five inches annually During the greater part of the year, mining can be conducted under favorable conditions. Drilling to depth has revealed the fact that the water is warmer than at the surface, and that there is a steady flow. The deduction from this is that the magnesium sulphate is carried in solution from rock sources and is forced upwards to the surface of the lakes. This process has probably been going on for scores or hundreds of years. Stumbling on Natures Gift The surrounding properly is used for the ranching of cattle, and the presence of the salt was more, or less b] iiulsance to the cattlemen, since [the herds persisted in straying to the; lakes. The ranchers did not realie the significance of the deposits, and they became aware of the nature of the mineral accidentally. Deposits of a different nature some distance away were discovered and secured by an American corporation. In this latter case the salt had to be refined, and the company eventually gave up the proposition. The ranchers were given an offer by a prospector, and the eagerness of the latter to clinch the bargain caused them to suspect the value of their holdings. They promptly staked the land and took out mining claims. A joint stock company was organized in which the ranchers retained control, and much valuable development work was clone, including the building of a road from the railway to the lakes. One member of a hunting party became interested in tho deposits and he got In touch with eastern interests through .the Ontario Oil & Turpentine Company of Toronto. An option was secured on the stock controlled by the ranchers and the purchasers were on their part obliged to act as the distributors of the product. The agreement included a liability on their part to mine and ship to the Toronto warehouses two cars of magnesium sulphate by a certain date in the early part of 1919. Great difficulties were met in getting the equipment set up for producing this quantity of the salt. Different engineers who were assigned to the task failed in the work, and it seemed that there was a combination ut - circumstances to render tho option null and void. Asldlous work by tho agents of the purchasing parties finally was rewarded by success. Rollers had been installed for ' crushing the blocks of salt. IL was found that these became clogged up after being operated for a short time The purchasers avowed their determination to mine the two cars of salt by even the crudest of methods in order to live up to their agreement. The cars were finally .. gotten out, and the funds were raised to close the deal. The option was due to expire on October 17 last. The funds were telegraphed to a Vancouver bank on October 16, and the bargain was sealed .Incidentally a representative of British interests was waiting in Vancouver for October 18, in order to take over the 'deposits. The controlling interest Was secured by the Canadian capi talists, most of whom are Toronto, Walkervllle .and Windsor men. Comparatively Simple Methods Subsequent analysis have confirmed tho elation they felt at securing possession of the magnesium sulphate deposits. The province of British Columbia had an examination made by its own geologists, and it needed no more persuasion before proceeding with the building of a threo mile line of railway from Basque to Epsom Spur. The method of operation that was first devised was lo cut the blocks of magnesium sulphate from the surface of the lake during the summer season. These blocks were stored and ground, for shipment. However, a shallow excavation was made and ono of the investigators found that when the temperature was warm enough the water was drained from Ihe crystals, and the latter fell down and were taken out in scoop shovels, It became evident that in order to carry on operations continually a building should be erected on the surface of the lake, where the proper temperature could be maintained at all times. Chemical Composition of Deposits The total area of the five lakes acres. The lakes are in a chain, and the last is about fifty feet below the first. The distance between the lakes varies between 500 and 2,500 feet. Evaporation of the surface water takes place rapidly in the summer months. There are a number of layers of salt, and below these thero is a solid bed of the mineral, which is principally magnesium sulphate. Analysis of samples tanen at various depths proved that arsenic, lead, iron, zinc, carbonate, phosphate and nitrate were completely absent, and traces only of chloride and calcium were encountered. A large part of the surface deposits were proven to be quite up to the U.S.P. and B.P. requirements. Magnesium sulphate has been taken Crom the surface area which has tested 99.5 per cent pure; In addition the magnesia waters from lakes one and two have been tested, and the proper tes of the water have been compared favorably with a number of other famous mineral .vaters from Indiana, Michigan and Austria-Hungary. When diluted to t proper extent it is established that the water from Lake No. 2 will make a good aperient mineral water. China offers a very large market for technical magnesium sulphate, ind the tanneries established In that country by British capitalists furnish in additional market for commercial salt. It is considered likely that in important market will eventually ie developed. In the case of this ieposil at Basque, nature appears to have done practically everything, and there seems to have been little left for human hands to accomplish. The deposition of the crystals and the ■vaporating system by nature could hardly bo surpassed. , Commercial magnesium sulphate imported from Germany sold at approximately $55 a ton before the war. it is. felt that the Canadian product can compete with the imported mineral from any source, while the securing of export business depends on the concession of lower freight rates on through hauls from British Columbia. PAPER CONTROLLER PRINGLE HAS RESIGNED OTTAWA, Jan. 16.—(C.P.)—It was definitely stated by A. A. Pringle this afternon that his resignation as paper controller was ln tho hands of the government and had been accepted. Mr. Pringle said his re lations with the government had been perfectly harmonious but he felt that having carried the work through the war period he had his own practice to attend to, and felt that ho should be relieved of the extra load. He added that he understood an official of the government would carry on the work of tho paper controller, and he, Mr. Pringle, would continue to assist In this as far as he could do so. Province Fruit Growers In Convention Pass Important JJesolution VERNON, .Jan. 16—(C.P.)—Most of the time at this morning's session of the Fruit Growers convention was taken by a discussion of the sugar shortage problem. An address of the past, present and future conditions in this connection was delivered by R. M. Winslow, secretary of the Association who was accorded a British Columbia Traffic and Credit hearty vote of thanks for the valuable information and advice which he had laid before the meeting. The sugar situation is so unpromising, complex and bewildering, said Mr. Winslow thai it will take the influence of enlightened public opinion throughout the west to secure anything approaching lo a satisfactory solution during the coming year. He detailed the difficulties encountered both by refftiories and wholesalers, and during the course of his remarks paid a tribute to the British Columbia refinery, which ho said "had played a. white game last year and it could do the same today.'* Mr. Winslow. advocated that pressure should be brought to bear, at Ottawa so that Canadian owned ships might be utilied to bring raw sugar to the British Columbia refinery, which was not operating to more than half its capacity owing to the difficulty in securing raw material although the supply of raw sugar In Cuba, Chile and elsewhere was ample for all requirements if shipping facilities were speedily obtained. He also urged a campaign to induce housewives to lay in a stock of sugar early in the year before the preserving season started. Fruit to the value of more than $8,000,000 to the growers of this province was tied up to the sugar situation, and the British Columbia fruit grower's association would have to knuckle down and stay with tbe situation until the season is over, or the position of affairs would be even worse this year than last. Following Mr. Winslow's address, the following two resolutions were passed the first coming from Kel- owna, and the second being presented by Peachland: "Resolved, that we ask the British Columbia Fruit Growers' Association to energetically press for tbe removal of the cause of this unfortunate sugar shortage, and to urge upon tho consumers in British Columbia and the prairies the desirability early purchasing their sugar supplies for the preserving season. "Whereas, the sugar shortage has had a serious effect upon the price obtained for soft fruits during the last year, 'And, whereas, according to information obtained from reliable sources this shortage will be as acute If not more so during the coming season not withstanding the reports that from time to time appeared in public press lo the contrary. "And whereas the solution of the problem can only be obtained by restrictions being placed on tho export of sugar to Europe and elsewhere and by additional ships being provided for the import of raw material for the refineries "It is therefore resolved to request the British Coluntbia Fruit Growers' association lo tuke whatever action they may deem best to secure from the dominion government the protection and assistance necessary to remove without delay this sugar shortage In order that the fruit growing industry of Canada may be saved from absolute disaster during the coming year. "And( further that the British Columbia fruit growers' association be also asked to. bring all the pressure possible towards securing from the railway companies an adequate supply of refrigerator cars for tho transportation of fruit and that the 'association be requested to slay with the foregoing requests and see them through."

You apply just a few drops on lho tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved "nnd soon the corn is so shrivelled that it lifts Hit without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue. This discovery will prevent thousands ot deaths annually from lock- law and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. R 6fA L, ,r\?

The reason is that pine contains several peculiar elements that have a remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine is famous for this purpose. Pine coujjii syrups are combinations of pine mm syrup. The "syrup'! part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2% ounces of Pinex (60 'cents -/worth) in a lG-oz. bottle, and iill up with home-made sufjai syrup. Or you can use elarillod molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup'. Either way, you make 1C ounces—moro than you can buy ready- made for $2.50. It is pure, good and very pleasant—children take it eagerly. You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in a way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse andijigbt, or may be persistently loose, from the formation of phlegm, The cause is the same—inflamed membranes—:ltlid tVthla - Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it—usually in 24 hours or less. Splendid, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness, or any ordinary throat ailment. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is famous the world over for its prompt effect upon coughs. Beware of substitutes.

He confesses that "only Sir Arthur Wilson and myself, when 1 was first Sea tor*d of the Admiralty, know the naval: plan of war." I loved Sir Arthur Wilson's reported Toply to tho maniacs who think the Navy is tho same as the Army. If It is not true it is been trq- vato. Ho said the Naval War Staff at the Admiralty consisted of himself—assisted by every soul inside tho Admiralty, and he added, "including the charwomen'Whey emptied the -waste-paper baskets full of the plans of tho amateur strategists —Cabinet and otherwise. And then Lord Fisher proceeds to discuss current ideas with reference to a Naval War Staff: The vulgar error of Lord Haldalno and others, who are always talking about "clear thinking" and suchliko twaddle, is that they do not realize that the Army is so absolutely different from tho Navy. Every condition In them both Is different. Tho Navy' Is always at war, because It Is always fighting winds and waves nd fog. Tho • Navy 1b ready for an absolute instant blow; It has nothing to do with strategic railways, lines of communication or bridging rivers, or, crossing mountains, or the time of the year, when the Balkans may be snowed under and mountain passes may be Impassible. No; the ocean Is limitless and unobstructed; and tho Fleet, each ship manned, gunned, provisioned, and fuelled, ready to fight-within five minutes. The Army not only has to mobilise, but—thank Gtj'drthls' being an Island—it has to lijj^ cHr'rUd somewhere by the Navy, no,1 mat,to'r where It acts, lijrt; !- NELSON SLIGHTED In Lord Fisher's opinion, "the mischief to the Navy is that our very ablest naval officers, both old and young, got attractod by the brainy work, and by the shore-going appointment," and ho adds, "tbe land Is a shocking bad training ground for the sea." IHIs view is that "so far as the Navy is concerned, the tendency of these "thinking establishments" on shore is to convert splendid sea- officers Into very Indifferent clerks." Later on In the book Lord Fisher's mind switches back to Nelson, and be' agrees with Lord Rosebcrry that "Nelson being slighted has led to his greater appreciation." Again even a greater slight, a slight hc feels more—when he looks doiwn from his monument in Trafalgar-square, does he see anywhere those splendid captains of his—docs he see"-anywhere'a single admiral? Nbt ono. And yet who made England what she Is? Those splendid sea heroes are ln very deed "England's forgotten worthies." Yes! Nelson looks down from his Isolated column, and looks in vain for Hawkc, Dun- donald, Howe, Hood, Rodney, Corn- wallls, Benbow, "and a great multitude which no man can number"— all seamen ln deathless fame, fighting slngle-frlgato actions cutting out tho enemy's ships from under the guns of their forts—doers of imperishable deeds! Death found them | fighting. We have heaps' of statues 1 to everybody else. Indeed such a lot \ of, them, that they reach down as J far off as Knightsbridge.. But who l knows about Qulberon—ono of the j greatest * sea fights? And . you | mention Hawke, your friend prob- 1 ably thinks only of his worthy des- I cendendant—the cricketer. ',: An old woman eating a penny bun || asked a friend of mine called Bug- la gin^ when sho was passing through II Trafalgar-square; "What are them ld lions uguardlng of/" Buggins told her that her penny bun would have cost hor threepence If It hadn't been for tho man them lions wero a- guarding of. When 1 sec the Duke of, Vorks' Column sllll ullowed tn II rear its futile head, and scores of other fifth-rato nonentities glorified by statues, I thank God I'm a sailor—we don't want lo be in that gallery! The Kaiser and Tirpitz Lord ISshcr collected In three bulky volumes the letters he received from Lord Fisher from 1903 onwards. Though "many of them," we arc told, "are unquotable, so blasting aro they in truth to existing reputations," a largo selection of them are included In this volume. Thoy con stituto a fascinating reflection of the workings of tho mind of this man of action and world affairs. As other chapters are illustrated by parable or anecodoto, so theso letters bristle with epigram. In one of these epistles occurs an account which Mr. Beit gavo to the admiral! In 1907 of a conversation which ho had with he German Emperor: Belt: "Your Majesty Is very great- yyi mistaken ln supposing that any Voting exists in England for war . Ith Germany. I know both Mr. Balfour and Sir Henry Campboll-Ban- norman are absolutely averse to any such action. I know this of my own personal knowledge." ^The Emperor: "Yes, yes, but .it doesn't 'matter wVther cither of them ls Prime Mlnlstc:-, ot what party Is ln power. Fisher remains! that's the vital fact! I admire Fisher. I say nothing against him. If I were ln his place I should do all that he has done (In concentrating the British Navy against Germany), und I should do all that I know lie has It in his mind to do. Isvolsky, the Russian Minister of Foreign affairs, holds the same opinion," And then in the following year oc- cured another curious reflection of German anxiety, as recorded in another of Lord Fisher's letters: Secret. Tlrpltss asked mutual civilian • friend living in Berlin to ln- -lulilB very privately of me whether .>" would agree on limiting size of it guns and size of ships, as this Is vital to- the Germans, who can't go bigger than the Dreadnought in guns or size. I wrote back by return of post yesterday morning, "Tel! him J*H see him d-—d first!" There is hardly u page of this, book of Memories which does not contain some arresting passage, wiso or otherwise, according to the predisposition of the reader. Lord Fisher, walking up and down his room in the presence of a typist, has pro* duced a book unlike any book written before. That, no doubt, was his Intention, nnd he has succeeded triumphantly. If any man or woman in futuro years wants to know *what Lord Fisher was like, he or she will bo told ''go and read his book—his one and only book." For in this volume, altogther lacking In self- depreciation, and adorned with sixteen portraits or sketches of tlio author, but with the aroma of great and cherished friendships, Ibis man of action, who gripped tiie Navy and moulded it for its great ordeal, speaks with all the fire and eloquence the surprise und apparent inconsequence, the force and subtlety, familiar to those who havo known him in hours of triumnn as' well as in periods of apparent defeat.

Jan. 16.—Five special trains have been i made up today to accommodate the 1350 passengers on the Empress of France. The special with third class passengers for the west loft this afternoon. Among the , passengers on the liner was Major-General Hon. Sir Newton J. Monro, former prime minister of western Australia and now a member of the British parliament, lie was chairman of tho overseas parliamentary committee of the British parliament general officer commanding the Australian in- fantr foycres in the United Kingdom ,nafi former agent general in London for Western Australia . $10,000 SUIT STARTS OVER EMPLOYE'S DEATH WINNIPEG, Jan. 16.—Action for ?lo,ooe following the death of Wnu McColl, in the Canadian , PMiflO Railway yards last October commenced today. Negligence of a fellow employe is charged responsible for tho fatality. It is the Root of Personal Righteousness, the Mainstay of Social Order, the Bulwark of International Peace The Makers of Canada The earliest settlers in Canada were roused by the Call of the Church to develop a noble and useful citizenship. Young and old were invited to turn their eyes from material things, and to regard the splendor of unseen realities. Knowing that Religion is the only true safeguard of stability in the State, they built Churches, Schools and Colleges, to train men for the Christian Ministry, and to spread abroad in the land the benefits of education. This they did in their poverty, and thus directed the course of history in Canada to this day. The Testing of Canada Because of such sacrifices, there arose in Canada a public spirit hostile towards all injustice, dishonesty and cruelty. The War tested the moral fibre of the Canadians of a later day. Would they choose material ease and wealth, or would they risk all in defence of freedom and the rights of the weak? Over 400,000 men voluntarily offered their lives, and endured hardness as good soldiers for the defence of equity and fair dealing in all human relationships, and for the vindication o£ public right. Nor were the people at home less steadfast. Besides bearing the national cost of the War, they gave voluntarily for the help of the soldiers more than $90,000,000. Canada nobly stood the great trial, ROW the ®oo& BtoW TV, *» M*»ri o ri» That conflict is ended. Now x ne mciidbc comes another test- Not of To-day onty m Canada, but all over the world, sectional and class struggles for material rewards and for mastery threaten the present basis of Society. The vision of spiritual values gained in the War is in peril of being forgotten. The supremacy of sacrifice, the nobility of service, the reality and glory of the Unseen and Eternal, the promises of Christ; these were the things by which we lived during the War. Now there is great danger that they may fade from view, giving place to selfishness and the love of ease. The great non-Christian peoples of the world comprise two-thirds of the human race. They are mastering our modern scientific knowledge, and if they remain Pagan may yet turn it to our destruction. Paganism stands for the supremacy of Might, the very ideal we fought, and conquered in more than four years of War. How can we retain the heavenly vision? How can the world be guarded against another attempt to establish the Pagan ideal? Only through the Church of Jesus Christ. There is no other agency or society that has any possibility or hope of bringing about a full realization of the brotherhood of all mankind, and the reign of the Prince of Peace. Victoryonly through Christ What the Church Has Done All the progress of humanity in Civilization for the last 2000 years has been inspired, directly or indirectly, by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It has ended slavery, protected life, ennobled women, educated the children and safeguarded their lives, sanctified the home, established schools, missions and charities. The World's Need is Spiritual I speak as one standing upon the watch-tower, and know what the need of the land is. It is not material, it is spiritual. Get the spiritual, and the material will follow. The wounds of the world are bleeding, and material things will never heal them. And that is why I hail any movement which brings the great spirit o£ brotherhood. The one need of England and France today is the healing and the brotherhood of the Cross of Christ. —Rt. Hon. David Lloyd-George, Before the Brotherhood Convention, London, September, 1919. The Coming Era must do her share. Victory places upon the shoulders of the Allied Nations the responsibility for directing new conditions to right ends. Canada The Church must prepare to meet the needs of the new day. Old standards of life with old habits of thinking and of giving will be wholly inadequate. We must do in our day what our fathers did in theirs. The hope of the world is bound up with the strengthening and extension of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Forwa ©vements FIVE Christian Communions, Angli can, Baptist, Congregational, Metfr odist, and Presbyterian, are con' vinced that the time has come to rouse all Christians to a clearer understanding of their calling and stewardship in Christ, their King. They believe that the Church should be equipped adequately with men and money to enable it to meet the needs and opportunities of the New Day. lief in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord They now . These five separate Communions are of one mind as to their be- EACH of the Communions n;\:iied is in the midst of a Forward Movement. Each is seekin; by prayer and by earnest effort to accept all its responsibilities. Each is striving to extend its activities in Canada and in Foreign Lands. Your Church needs your help, but, far more, you need the help of your Church to learn the difficult art of living wisely and well. Consult your Clergyman. He serves you and your children. Ask him how and when you can serve in this day of national emergency. Give yourself to the task. Say: "Here am I, send me." declare to their respective constituencies, and also unitedly, to the Canadian people, that the only effective method of making good citizens is by urging men to a more faithful practice of Christianity, by inculcating personal faith in Jesus Christ. They insist that there is no other dependable way of correcting evil tendencies in individual and national life. They call the people to repentance.
