Mr. Churchill's latest statement to the House of Commons did not differ at all from the account he gave in his naval "budget" of the position of the Canadian ships. That is, they are lo be over and above the margin of safety fixed for the United Kingdom; but that does not mean that they will not be needed for the defence of the Empire. Mr. Churcnill's latest statement docs, however, pul a new emphasis upon the ne esslty of speed. He calculates tha our ships will be ready in 1915; and, if this expectation Is to be met, we can have no more delay al Ottawa. The world is moving witli greater rapidity than ever. Military and naval preparations are being lushed on all sides.. "Speeding up" has become a normal condition, i. we mean business in this country, says the Montreal Star, if we are to take our place among the serious nations of the world—if we are to escape from the /'baby class" and cease to beg that allowance be made for us because we are so inexperienced and timorous—we must begin to live strictly up lo our obligations, and to do this world-business with the snap and decision which is apparent among all the competing nations. It is no child's play on which we are embarked—it is no iietty party game we are playing. We have Challenged the attention of civilization, and it is high time that we began to acquit ourselves like an adult people. * * _ . _ * * ***************************************************** I mation of the company SHIPPING NEWS OF THE BUSY NORTHERN PORT wind 43, sea bar.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier says that had been called upon when in office to adopt closure, but he had "always opposed it." There is then a straight issue of fact between the leader of the Opposition and his Minister of Agriculture, says the News-Advertiser. Three times and in three different places Mr. Fisher declared in the last general election campaign thai the closure system would be introduced by the government after the election, and on two of these occasions he said that he was authorized to make the announcement. We believe that .Mr. Fisher's statement was accurate. IMMUNE FROM CANCER. UNLOADED POWDER. The steamer Capilano unloaded her cargo of powder at the magazine on the other side of the harbor.

Once more arises the statistician who figures out the odd angles of baseball. His latest researches have to do with Joe Wood of Boston, who was such an important factor in the Red Sox triumph over the Giants in the world series. Here are his statistics: Wood pitched in 43 games last season. At $7500 a year that would mean about $172.09 a game. He pitched 344 Innings—just averaging eight innings lo a game. Thai would be about $21.80 an inning. Not being quite so old, nor nearly so steady as Waller Johnson, Wood wastes more balls and more energy than Johnson does. While "the Terrible Swede" pitches from about 90 to 100 balls In a game of nine Innings, "Smoky Joe" goes him about 10 better mi an average. While no statistics have been kept, you will find Wood averaging about 12 balls to an 'inning. So you "see Joe Wood will be paid $1.82 every time he hurls the borschide in a regular game of baseball this year—always assuming that the $7500 story is true. In other words. Wood threw the ball from 4000 to 4200 times last season, and for probably just about the same work he is credited with receiving $7500 this year, to say nothing of perquisites, as there's still plenty of easy money when you only know how to get it. out, and young blood Is replacing them, not in accordance with any fixed policy of the club, but because many of the stars of the past years have outlived their usefulness. Old players are never dropped from the roster merely because they are old. The combination of Clarke-Waguer- Leach-Ritchey that was looked upon as one of the most formidabb in organized baseball was first broken uu when Claude Ritchey was let out. Clarke was next to go, through self- elimination and last summer a third member of the quartette in the person of Tommy Leach was dropped. Today only Hans Wagner remains. It is a case of the survival of the fittest. The big Dutchman is 39 years old. Perhaps it could be put "39 years young," for It Is only the lines on his face and the whitening of his hair at the temples which indicates his age. There is nothing In his ball playing to suggest the' advisability of his retirement from the game. They,say he-is slowing up, and perhaps he is, but he can alow up a great deal more and still be one of the world's greatest ball players. The game has not produced his equal. He is a perfect baseball machine, and the machine will not be clogged up in this year if early Indications count for anything. Wagner is Hie Wagner of 1912 this spring, and there's no telling how many more seasons he will be playing the most difficult position on the diamond. No man who has watched him throughout his marvellous career would hazard his reputation as a prophet by predicting that this will be Wagner's last year. Hans Wagner will be robbing opposing players of base hits and knocking down fences with his own drives this summer as of yore. He Will be running wild on the paths. He will continue to be a terror to pitchers, the idol of every American youth, and one of the most talked about, and written about men in the United States. o : Family washing is our specialty.

Sunday, April 13, 1913. GIVES GOOD ADVICE Chief Justict Hunter Deals With Naval Question In No Uncertain Way. He Points Out What the Duty of Canadians Is in a Mallei of This Kind. Speaking In Victoria on the toast of The Empire, Chief Justice Hunter a few days ago traced the history of the British race from earliest times, pointed to the various other races that had become blended with it, and expressed .the opinion that such a people must in the very nature of things become great. "And that race has become great, the greatest that the world has ever seen, but not without its calamines and its tragedies. Think of the great nation to the south of us. I shall always consider that the greatest calamity that has befallen the British Empire was the secession of the United States. A narrow-minded oligarchy in Great Britain brought about that, and I am convinced that if it had not happened the seat of British power would today be located somewhere on this North American Continent, But, I do not believe that that calamity is irreparable; I believe that there will yet be a reunion in some form or another of these peoples. Whether it will be by consolidation of all the separate English-speaking parts, or an alliance, or what not, is really a secondary affair provided they come at last to an understanding whereby their difficulties would be settled by .arbitration. That would be the nearest thing to the stopping of future wars that we have yet attained. If we reflect for a moment we find that neither of these great nations, that is Great Britain and the United States, are in danger of invasion. Great Britain is secure on sea and the United States is safe on land. If they should come together they could establish the domination of the sea, and they could dictate to all others on the question of war. They would be in a position to say to any European nation, 'you must not do this or you will find your ports blockaded and your trade routes cut.' To He .Sought. "To my mind nothing could be more Inspiring than such a consummation. At the present lime the British fleet is the only guarantee that the world has of peace, but With the United Stales and all the parts of the Empire acting In unison for the common end ihe menace that threatens the peace of the world would disappear, perhaps forever. That is an inspiring thought, and as a Canadian it raises the question in me of what Canada is doing in regard to it. 1 think that there is a great responsibility resting upon Canadians in ihis mailer, for they represent, a very substantial portion or the Empire referred to. They have a very great responsibility, say, in contributing to the support and maintenance of the greatest police organization of the world. "How have we met this obligation? We have been a confederation fori little short of fifty years, and what! nave we done in the course of that' period toward the maintenance and ! support of the British fleet, or off tiie Empire as an organization for tue preservation of the peace of the earth? I must, say, gentlemen, whether you like ii or not, thai she has J not done herself credit In the matter of contributing to the support of the British Empire and what it means to the world al large. Duty of Canada, "What is our duty in this matter? I Will not say anything about the permanenl policy of the Dominion Government tor that is a question thai Is entitled to further discussion. Bul let us consider the emergency policy. Assuming that there Is an emergency, and the circumstances would appear to point to the fact that there Is, then it becomes a question thai ought not legitimately to be brought within the field of party politics. This is not a party question. It is not even a Canadian question. It Is an Imperial question, or If you like, a world question. It affects all mankind as well as ourselves, "Is there an emergency? For my part 1 am content to accept the advice of the fact from the Imperial Government. The politics of that Government matter not at all, nor do the politics of the Government at Ottawa. It satisfies me that the Imperial Government has advised the Canadian Government that there is an emergency. I do not need, however to be satisfied In that way. The mere fact that the Imperial Govern ment has increased its appropriation for the navy so enormously for the present year over all previous years is proof enough for me that in the opinion of the Imperial Government there is a grave emergency. Germany Spending Lavishly. "Of course, on the other hand, we have the German Chancellor staling publicly the other day that there is no immediate probability of a European conflagration. That may be all right, but then we have the German nation spending $50,000,000 in increasing its army by means of a war tax placed upon so-called fortunes of $1400 a year and upwards. That indicates a condition of things that is very grave, indeed. It means to Germany that strain after strain is being put upon her people to increase the fighting strength of the nation. It means the accenuation of a condition ot things that is even now almost intolerable. And it that is not demonstration enough of the fact that there Is an emergency.] do not know what would satisfy some people of the fact. "Now assuming that there is an emergency is there any other way of meeting it than by giving contributions freely and voluntarily to the Imperial Government. If there is I am unable to see it. Some people tell us that the money w-ould be better spent at home, but if what I say is the fact how idle It is to talk of spending the money in our own country. That suggestion does not so much appeal to our'patriotism as to our materialism. "Then it is also suggested that we should have the ships stationed here. So far as that is concerned 1 would like to know what one battleship and two cruisers located at Halifax would do In the event of'a European war. We want to have the ships in the fighting line, right where the danger threatens and where they would be of some service. It would be of very little use to have a battleship placed at Vancouver or Victoria. No doubt the officers, could amuse themselves on the golf links, but I think it would be better for us and for the Imperial Government, whom we are anxious to assist, to have them nearer the scene of action. It has always been a fighting policy to get near the enemy if you could not, exactly get at (hem, and, for my part, I believe in it." WILD HORSE HERDS. Are Progeny of Animals Turned Loose by Men Unsuccessful in Cariboo Gold Knsli, COMMISSION READY Three thousand or more wild horses, in herds of from thirty tc one hundred are roaming over the hills and valleys in the interior of British Columbia, according to a report brought by James Bradley, who. with Gustav Reiland, a veteran prospector and miner, known throughout, the Bonanza gold camps, has just returned from an extended exploration tour of the Coast Province. "Indians and white prospectors and pack-train freighters value these untamed animals more than highbred horses," said Mr. Bradley. "They are the progeny of horses turned loose on the trail by discouraged or dying men during the famous gold rush in the Cariboo country. Thousands or the veriest Menderfeet' stampeded to the new fields in the early 00's. Most of them were Incompetent and, in fact, utterly helpless in that wild country, and the horses either broke away or were abandoned when the fortune hunters gave up on the long trail. "The horses made their feeding grounds In the vicinity of Barker- ville for several years afterward, and their offspring wandered northward as the bands increased. They are wild, and make trails on tbe mountains and timbered country much after the fashion of buffalo In the early days, and deer at present, "The Indians and freighters ivurl Ing in the limber districts, catc them with snares, such as are use for lynx. In most cases, the ouima are easily broken, and they are be ter for the rough country than tl high-grade horses on account of tin stamina and soreness of loot ei i mountain trails. We lost horses fr< our train from time to time, and placed them with wild animals." The Indian Question Will Be Dealt With Now By Joint Body. Hon. E.

Conferences which have recently been in progress between the Federal and Provincial appointees upon the commission created by the Dominion Government for the investigation and determination of all matters affecting Indian lands in British Columbia, have resulted in the mutual and amicable agreement by these commissioners upon former Chief Justice VV'etmore of Regina—whom Mr. Iianltaiii not long ago succeeded on the bench—as the fifth member and chairman of this Important tribunal; and-ra telegram from the Right Honorable Premier Borden announces that the formal commission will now issue at Ottawa under the Canadian act respecting public enquiries, so that the work assigned to the board may forthwith be undertaken. The complete commission, which consists of Hon. Mr. Wetmore, chairman; Messrs. White and McKenna, representing the Dominion, and Messrs. J. P. Shaw, M.P. P., and D. H. MacDowall, Provincial appointee, will meet in this city very shortly for organization, and will then arrange an itinerary which will embrace visits to every part of British Columbia. It is expected that the important work of investigating and determining all questions relating to Indian reserve lands in this province will occupy considerable time. , Terms of Agreement. The agreement between the Federal and the Provincial authorities in this Important matter was originally concluded September 24 last between the Prime Minister of British Columbia, Sir Richard McBride, K.
