GENEVA, Dec. 8.—The liveliest motion this assembly has experienced was provoked today by Hop. N. W. Rowell, of Canadn, who expressed his views regarding European statesmanship In a way that startled diplomats of the old world. A sharp debate arose over tho recommendation of the committee, on technical organizations, that tho assembly propose to the governments to set up under the auspices of the League, three new organizations, finance, transit and health, with annual conferences on these subjects. Mr. Rowell objected on the ground that it was impossible for distant countries to send their best men abroad four times a year to attend the assembly and tho conferences, and declared that the result would be to -throw these organizations under European influence, Tho assembly, lie held, should occupy Itself with these questions. Canada, at any rate, he, said, felt that they were questions that should not be allowed to fall into European control. "Fifity thousand Canadian soldiers under the sod in Franco and FJan- ders is the price Canada has paid for European statesmanship;" he cried, lo the astonishment, of the entire assembly aud the dlarmay of the delegates. Arthur Balfour and Mr. Fisher were plainly affected by tho thrust from the Dominion; thoy remained motionless In their scats through the debate with grave faces. Lord Robert Cecil, representing South Africa In the assembly, In a gentle way softened thc blow by saying that ho agreed with much that Mr. Rowell had said, but thought Mr. Rowell was mistaken in supposing that the organizations would fall under tho control of Europe.

These truths, says the Times, have made their way into; the consciousness of the British people during the past year, but they are not yet understood here in their full significance even by some leading statesmen of these islands, as witness the antiquated ideas of what Dominion status means, which have been evident in recent contributions to the Irish question. ' The prince, says the Times, is still far ahead of public comprehension here, even in circles which should know better. Had he devoted part of his speech yesterday to a fresh exposition of thiw themo he would have done valu'iil-tle public aervicn, but douhUenn his visits to the dominions have miide dominion ideas about their national position and future so. much more com mo ni) lace to him lihat it is difficult for him to am>reciate the "-.low progress they are making here.

Ai'ler- wards, dtincing and <:ards were tlie order of lhe evening, there being tables specially reserved for cards for those disinclined to dance.

After spending several * years struggling along a t that church he bad received the call from Nelson, lie told of his reception on his arrival in Nelson and of the cordial relations that , have always existed between himself and his parlshoners during his lii years service hero, roncluding he totichlugly referred to the generops support given to him by his wardens, particularly. Pred Irvine, who had been his rectors warden alnlost from his arrival- Me left Mr. Irvine in charge of the proceedings for iho remainder of the evening. v The "Bihsop of Kootenay, Right Rev, A. ,[.

A splendid tribute' lo the esteem h which Mr. Graham Is held by his congregation at Ht. Andrews, contained in an address from the congregation, read by Leslie Craufurd, and later presented to Mr. Graham, It referred to the pbeiiominal growth of the congregation', the number of eonimimi'*ants, and societies, and commended his work as a. preacher and an organizei*. Not only at the church, but throughout the parish, in diocesan work, and as a rural dean. Air. U-rnham .had been a zealous worker and bad energetically forwarded tlie work of tbe "church.

The Nelson Sympony orchestra contributed several splendid selections, including "Chu Chin Chow Selections- . including *'Chu Chin Chow.*' and "Dogie's March.'' besides playing for the dances and during the arrival of the gu ests.

TRAIN, marine, itreet car—in (act, all disasters arc on the decrease, largely due to educational propaganda preventing carelessness. The toll of human life through ill health and disease is also on the decrease. People of the 20th century are realising more and more the necessity of keeping themselves fit and well, for without health they can never attain their ambitions. There are still some, however, who ignore a vital factor in preserving ihcir health and strength. They ignore medical scientists who tell us the necessity of repairing the ravishes on the heart and nerve centres. These are the people who fail to w«ke up one morning; the people who drop dead in the street, in the car or train, and just at a ' critical time when they ire specially needed by friends and dependents. ARE YOU IN THESE RANKS, inviting disaster? Do you ever feel that your work is proving ■ slight strain upon you? Would you be able to fill a bigger position to-morrow, make the rapid, clever decisions which bring success? Would your employer choose YOU? You can rest assured he won't if you're not in robust health. He can't take chances with ailing people. But you can obtain the health that will MAKE him choose you by i :oring the heart and nerve centres, the vital organs of the entire system. Thousands of people have accomplished this by the use of Milburn's Heart & Nerve Pills. One simple step.

A splendid repreSen-atlon of the leading varieties, and also of many loss well distributed, - is the particular feature of the present show, as the crowds of visitors constantly remark.

Thero is a heavy showing of pons, and p.articularly strong "pompetltlon in the utility section. Judging was completed yesterday and thc outside fanciers and tho home talent have divided honors very -evenly. A New Bird. Ono o'f tho curiosities nf tho show is the pen of beautiful birds shown by Frank Thompson, of Midway, under the name of "British Columbia breed." ■ Mr. Thompson claims to haVo bred these fo.wl true to type for .the last eight ..years, and now seeks recognition for them. It was decided to award the new breed a diploma. Brown Leghorn, White Leghorn and Barred Rock entered into thc ancestry of these birds, hich are of a general Mediterranean type, but considerably heavier than Leghorns. The neck hackle is reminiscent of the Brown Leghorn, as is also tho bright coloring of the wing bow and wing bar, but the wing "Hay is a slaty blue, and the breast also shows a touch of blue, similar lo lhe Blue Andelusian. Tho tail also carries this characteristic huo. Mr, Thompson's aim was to produce a breed having the -Leghorn and Rock dualities of egg-production, but medium in weight be tween the two types so as to feerve t useful purpose on the table. Admission to the show is free, and doubtless the general public will be out in force this afternoon and evening to inspect this fino .array of Kootenay birds. This afternoon Judge V. S. Amundson will give another of his practical lectures and demonstrations,' dealing vdith the matter of culling the flock, and general utility questions..

Tomoi row—Readers' Discoveries... Justice—Or Alms! In a speech here * the other night the' premier, in dealing with proposed aid to the muni cipalities, spoke in a strain that was far from encouraging to those who hoped for substantial assistance from the government, 'says the Vancouver World. As justification for going slow in that connection he mentioned tfiat "the government haud come to the assistance bf South Vancouver, only to receive a slap in the face for their pains in the election of an independent candidate at the polls, and similar treatment for their kindness in the interior." He ridiculed Mr. Bowser's offer of aid as a "bribe." One can only gather from this kind of talk that municipalities if they receive government aid, obtain it in the form of a kindness and not of justice; and that in return they are expected to support the administration of the day. Surely such is not a fair attitude. When the government grants aid to a municipality they do so with public funds, not with their own. They do so either in the public interest or for the sake of securing support. If the former, they have no right to talk of their "kindness" if the latter, they should have the good taste to abstain from charges about their opponents trying to "bribe" constituencies.

"^.-—(Associated Press)— Revelations in the Prjiaslan state leg-Islaut.ro at Berlin of the sums of money which the former German Emperor has been permitted to draw from Germany during the past two years, together with the announcement that the Dutch governonment will tnX him for an annual, income of 1,300.00,0 guilders, have caused the burgers of Boom to speculate as to what ho does with all this money. (Nominally a guilder is worth 40 cents.) From Germany, the former emperor is said to have drawn 1,000,- 000 guilders, equivalent at present rates of exchange.to 11,138,000 German marks, also the proceeds of the sale of some of his property In the Wllhelmstrasse, said to be 40,000.000 marks. Besides all this income the Prussian government has contributed additionally to the furnishing of his new house at Doom. For a long time William complained of being financially embarassed. N.ow, however, according to the people of Doom, he appears to be living in high style. Not counting his marshall, General von Gontard and other members of his immediate suite, approximately 50 servants are now employed to keep up the house at Doom. This'does not include the workmen who are still engaged in various repairs about the house and grounds. There are 24 charwomen, who are kept busy polishing the floors, brass- work, and otherwise keeping the castle up to the standard of old German cleanliness demanded by the former Empress Augusta Victoria. They receive the equivalent of about a dollar a day. Ten of them live in the castle. In all, William now employs six cooks, who include a chef and an assistant living at the castle and four women who come in to work by the day. There are also a number of gardeners and personal servants. Wages Bill is Considerable. To maintain this army of servants, whose average wages, the people of Doom siiy. must bo something more than a dollar a day, William pays in wages alone about $20,000 a year. Their upkeep costs him as much more and this does not include tho high salaried employes, like General von Gontardp Captain von lilseman, the "court physician" and secretaries, who must cost the ex-emperor about $20,000 more.

LONDON, Deq. 7,—(Associated Press)--rA new plan of government for Mesopotamia announced by Andrew Bonar Law in the house of commons provides that the Arabs Bhall be governed by Arabs.

During the war the question was often raised—"What has happened to the Canadian Pacific Observation Cars on the Austfian sHa^e Railways"? On the cessation ofhotilities ii transpired that they had been used hy the Austrian War Office as Red Cros?.Cars, and on the sign:**-**; of peace thoy were handed back to the Canadian Pacific in fairly good shape. It will be remembered that before the war thesa Observation Cars were operated by the Canadian Pacific on the *n*cprcs3 trains of the Austrian States Rail ways from the Arlberg to Vienna, and from Imisibmek to Trieste, where i hey were extremely DODUlar. particular!; with Anwicau tourists visiting Tyrol. Owing to the internal conditions of the country, tourists travel in Austria lias naturally disappeared for the time being, but Italy has been in different shape, and the Italian Government made an offer for these Observation cars which the Canadian Pacific accepted, with the result that they are now being operated by the Italian State Railways through the most picturesque districts of the Italian peninsula. 0 They were "used for the first time for a party organized by the Moroli Company of Rome for the transportation in Ilaly of the delcfrstos of the National Council of Woiuo*- of the United States proceeding to the International Feminist Meeting in Christiania. They left Naples on the 21st August, and proceeded via Rome to Florence, Venice and Milan to Geneva, where they arrived on the 28th August. Naturally the operation of these observation curs for the first time on the Italian State Railways created a great amount of interest and aroused intense admiration on the part of the people and the Railway officials, whilst the delegates from the United States declared that these cars, were a* clesant and comfortable as they had ever travelled ou. a clever analogy between tbe two cases, "And* he fell on his neck and kissed him!"

The tendency now is to return to ncrmal trading as was evidenced in thc recent removal of control from victory bonds.
