RAINBOW ��������� Rescues Gunb oats and Returns to Esquimalt Vancouver, Aug. 14.���������Grave anxiety regarding the safety of the cruiser Rainbow gave place to great jubilation today when that ship arrived at Esquimalt having in escort the gunboat Shearwater. The gunboat Algerine is expected to arrive any minute. This relieves the naval situation on this coast. The Rainbow's trip south to the rescue of these two vessels and the taking of them out of the very grasp of the two powerful German cruisers Nurenburg and Liepsig is regarded as a fine achievement. So confident were the Germans of the capture of the two gunboats that the-'captain of the cruiser Liepsig told a San Francisco newspaper man that the capture would certainly be effected without any trouble. The Rainbow, which a short time ago was dismantled and laid up, has justified her existence and will henceforth stand high in the estimation of the people of the Pacific Coast. * ��������� # ually the German vessel drew out of range of the Bristol's six- inch bow gun, the latter being loth to give up the fight confined the pursuit. Taking advantage of the darkness and with the advantage of her greater speed, the German cruiser doubled on her course and made away south towards San Juan. Will Stay in Ottav/a Ottawa, Aug. 5, 1914.

Recently when the secretary, Mr. L. Bullock-Webster, was in Telkwa, Aldermere and Smith- ers, thirty-seven newr members were enrolled. Over twenty members have joined this week on the Queen Charlotte Islands. The management have arranged with Capt. T.

The sight of this famous old man soaring up into the clouds above Kaien Island will amply repay ��������� stay here. God Save the King Wilfrid Laurier." The above message was received from Ottawa by Mr. F. C. Wade. It is Sir Wilfrid's reply to the resolution passed at the Liberal meeting recently held in Vancouver, to make arrangements for the reception of the Liberal leader on the occasion of his proposed visit to the Pacific Coast, which had been definitely set for September 11. As well as the flying there will be many other attractions well worth going to see. There will be a splendid baseball match. The final of the football league will be played off. There will be rifle shooting and trap shooting, also tug-of-war in which the Granby Bay mine is likely to enter the heaviest team ever turned out in B.

Grant who was first on the program gave one of her cleverly executed pianoforte solos. The vocalists, Mesdames D. C. Balfour, B. F. Jacobsen; Misses A. Gibson and Marjory Clayton. During the evening pianoforte selections were charmingly rendered by Miss Ellen Thorsen and Mildred Gibson, which added much to the general enjoyment. What may be reasonably described as the feature of the evening was the Silver Medal Contest for local elocutionists. All the contestants acquitted themselves so .creditably that the judges were set a difficult task in deciding the winner. The final decision, however, gave general satisfaction when the announcement was made that Master 0. Petersen had won the medal by a narrow margin of points. Mrs. Livingstone of Victoria, presented the medal with a few brief remarks on the success of the evening's entertainment. v.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1914. Britain and Germany. In keeping the pledge she gave to Belgium, Great Britain has been true to her unblemished fame, and now her tremendous resources are joined with those of the other. European powers in resisting the ferocious policy of Germany. Throughout the whole crisis her attitude was one of pacification.' She used her best endeavors to bring about a peaceful settlement, and later to limit the area of hostilities, but immediately Germany violated the . neutrality of Belgium, which she herself- had pledged to respect, the sacred honor of Britain was involved: All Britain's protests were treated with indifference until there , remained no other course open to her but to intervene with all the force at her command. Even then she was not the first to declare war, the German declaration preceding her's by four hours. The situation which developed with lightening-like suddenness found Britain ready to the minute. Her great fleet had been prepared for action for days and the mobilization of her land forces had been completed. The state of preparedness affords proof that British statesmen accurately devined the crux of the German policy, and were not deluded by the peaceful protestations and fair speeches of the Kaiser which was intended to screen from view the menace which was threatening the liberty of Europe. For years past the German Emperor has aspired to the role of overlord of Europe. He harbored the delusion that only by "blood and iron" could Germany progress and ultimately predom- ate in the sisterhood of nations. Industrial advancement, the arts and sciences, the progress of government were sacrificed to the development of an enormous army and navy. A glance at the war budgets of the great powers in the last decade shows clearly that the increase in Germany's outlay has been out of ;ajl proportion to the requirements of a policy of peace. Between the years 1900 and 1905 while France slackened considerably in her warlike preparations, Germany continued her's vigorously. 1904 to 1908 saw Russia recovering from her struggle | with Japan; still Germany wrung tribute from her overtaxed millions. Finally, deciding to challenge the supremacy of Great Britain on the seas, she laid down a plan of construction extending to 1912 by which time it was intended that her fleet should be such as "even the mightiest naval power could not attack witnout danger to itself." The natural result of the mad militancy was that the other powers took alarm and huge expenditures on army and navy became the order; strangling industry and mortgaging the future of the people. The policy of Germany ..has been a menace to human liberty and progrees. It has created antagonisms which it is unable to subdue. It has raised all Europe against the promoters of that policy and it is reacting with terrific effect. By blood and iron did the imperial dynasty of Germany come into being; by blood and iron will it pass away. o o o o o Italy Is Wise. Italy has displayed common sense. When asked from Berlin as to what course she intended to pursue, she has declared that she will remain strictly neutral. According to the terms of the agreement between Germany. Austria and herself, she is not forced to take up arms unless one of them is compelled to fight in self-defence. In the present case Austria is the aggressor, and the conditions of the Triple Alliance, in the opinion of Italy, do not call for participation of its principals in a war of aggression. Italy's announcement of strict neutrality must seriously affect the prospects of Austria and Germany. Although the Italian army sustained considerable losses in the recent war with Turkey and her financies are none too good, yet by threatening France from the south-east and occupying the attention of the British and French fleets in the Mediterranean she would be of incalculable assistance -to her allies.: She could place in the field an army of 1,200,000, while her naval strength consists of sixteen battleships, twenty cruis ers and 33,000 men. But while Italy loses nothing by remaining neutral, she would undoubtedly suffer if she joined her partners in the present struggle. First, there would be a break in the friendly relations which have so long prevailed between her and Great Britain. Her interests in the Mediterranean would be seriously threatened. She would probably lose Tripoli, over which she recently waged a costly war with Turkey, and her other possessions1 in Africa would be endangered. Her fleet with, that of Austria could not cope with the combined British and French squadrons in Mediterranean, and her ports would be blockaded. From every standpoint, commonsense and prudence prompt the strictest neutrality on her part. Her statesmen clearly have .not lost their heads in the excitement. o o o o o As we anticipated, the 'Kaiser has asked heaven to shower blessings on his beloved army. But we notice from official reports that when the beloved army falls out of step or commits what is considered a breach of discipline some beloved 'officer of the Kaiser-s beloved army generally bashes it over the beloved head with his sabre. o a o o o The closeness of the censor on news from the seat'of war is shown in the following despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Dr. Dillon in Vienna. Dr. Dillon says: "The days of war correspondents are over. The vicissitudes of the struggle will be chronicled day by day by the official analysts to the exclusion of all others. Newspaper correspondents will be free to work embroidery, provided the patterns chosen are not disapproved." o o o o o Captain Give Phillipps-Wolley asks through the morning paper how many men there are in Canada who do not wish that "we had those three ships in the Peacemaker's fighting line." How many men are there in Canada who do not wish that we had those four Bristols and six torpedo boat destroyers contemplated by the plan abopted four years ago?���������Victoria Times. Better Take the Paper at Once. An exchange gives the following account of what happend to a family too stingy to take their home paper. It says: "We once knew a man who was too stingy, to take the newspaper in his home town, and always went to borrow his neighbour's paper. "One evening he sent his son over to borrow the paper. While the son was on the way he ran into a large stand of bees, and in a few minutes his face looked like a summer squash. "Hearing the agonized cries of the soil, the father ran to his assistance, and in doing so ran into a barb wire fence, cutting a haridf u I of flesh from his anato- may, and ruined a $4 (saleprice) pair of trousers. ' "The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence, got into \he corn field, and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy man's wife ran out of the house; upsetting a four gallon churn full of cream into a basket full of kittens, drowning the lot. She slipped on the cream and fell down the stairs, breaking her leg and a $19 set of false teeth. The baby left alone, crawled' through ,the spilled cream into the parlor and ruined a $40 carpet. During the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man, taking the family savings bank with them." Great Wars of History. It is not anticipated that the present general war will last as long as the widely extended struggles of the past. The development .of war material, the telephone, telegraph, air service and means of transport, all tend to bring hostilities to a rapid climax and conclusion.

However, some very useful work has been accomplished. Various crops have been raised and with the exception of the rather unfavorable weather and attacks of caterpillars, everything responded fairly well. The following crops are being grown: Grains���������hulless barley. This is doing exceedingly well and is recommended for cultivation here. Fodder crops���������alf alf a; grimm's and variegated clovers; sanfoin and vetches; field peas, etc. ; buckwheat (Japanese) has done well and should ripen here easily. It should be sown in May for best results. Vegetables���������the usual variety have responded well. They thrive in the best possible way. Roots���������turnips, mangolds and sugar beets are making headway. The latter two crops may be raised most successfully. They are splendid for dairy cattle. On the alluvial soil growth is tremendous. On the gravelly portions the larger stones have to be cleared away and manure, etc., applied. | During this season on the plots the use and value of lime, manures and fertilizers have been clearly demonstrated as follows: Lime���������this is necessary in procuring best results from the land. It is needed in all soils except alkali and very gravelly soils. On newly-cleared timber or wet land it is invaluable. Such land has usually acid or sour tendencies and thus needs "sweetening." Bacterial and chemical action is brought about by lime. A change takes place in the soil compounds thus unlocking or rendering available certain forms for plant food. Lime applied half a ton to one ton per. acre on local soil is sufficient for five years. Lightsoils take the less amount. Ground burnt limestone or water-slacked lime give the best results, Air-slacked is inferior, half as valuable. The best form of lime to buy is what is known as builders' quick, caustic or burnt limestone. This is sold in barrels. Before using this limestone, being lumpy, it must be made fine, this may be done by crushing or water-slacking. The former is hard to do, so the latter is usually resorted to, when slacked the lime may be applied at once. If lime is exposed too long to the atmosphere it becomes air-slacked and the carbonate changed in its form and is not so valuable for agricultu- tural purposes. Complete fertilizer��������� nitrates (nitrogen), phosphates (phosphorus) and potash (potassium) mixed in suitable quantities. The best yields are being obtained from this form. Basic slag���������this gives to the land phosphates and lime. On river bottom soil this has given every satisfaction, in fact this cheap form of fertilizer, with These prove very useful for fruit trees. Potatoes do better with a dressing of muriate of potash. The sulphate form is detrimental. Woodashes supply the best form of potash. Farmers should use all the woodashes possible on the land. Every form of vegetation needs potash to build tissue and furnish yields, etc. Barnyard manure���������in the test plots along side the various fertilizers the old stand-by holds its own. Manure gives to the soil nearly all the necessary plant food elements. It aids bacterial and chemical action in the soil as well as furnishing humus which aids in conserving soil moisture. The recent experiments show that to obtain the most profits from the soil good cultivation and manuring are needed. When plenty of barnyard manure is available, except an occasional lining, commercial fertilizers are not much needed on Bella Coola soils. Mixed farming should be aimed at, thus enriching the farm as time goes on. If commercial fertilizers are used, basic slag should be applied to the heavier soils, whilst complete fertilizer and nitrate of soda be given to light land. Crops of the Valley. The vegetables look remarkably well. Grain and fodder crops are quite good. Small fruits have yielded tremendously. Tree fruits as early maturing apples, are bearing splendidly, in fact, fruit trees on the whole are looking healthy and clean. The apples doing the best are yellow transparent, duchess, wealthy, wagener, gravenstein, blenheim orange. Bella Coola valley is well adapted for good agriculture and will eventually reach the position it deserves. It is hoped that the farmers of the district will make use of the experimental plot in making frequent visits and talking with the experimenter Mr. S. LeC. Grant, as well as discuss such matters with the assistant provincial horticulturist A. H. Tomlinson, when visiting the valley, or write him direct at his office, Prince Rupert.
