Disarranged Nearly Ah Week :��������� About seventy feet of the east end of the Bulldog tunnel, east of Fife on the C.P R., caved in last Saturday shortly after the 'east-bound freight train harj passed through it. The accident is said to have been caused by leakage of water through the roof of the tunnel. : Traffic on the road between- this city and Nelson was completely blocked until last night, when the east-bound passenger train passed through the tunnel forHhe first time this week. Last Saturday's east- bound passenger train was tied up in this city until Sunday noon, when it proceeded east over the Great Northern track. On Monday the west-bound train also came around by Marcus. Tuesday's coast train came as far as this city, and on Wednesday a train was run from this point to Vancouver. It required a crew of GO men from the time the accident occurred up till yesterday to clear the track. It is'said that clearing operations were very difficulty owing of dripping water and falling debris.

Department for about seventeed years, handed in his resignation to the hoard of police commissioners on Monday last. Wednesday evening the commissioners held a meeting and accepted the resignation. Xlt is understood that the chief's action was prompted owing to friction between himself and one or two of the commissioners. The resignation takes effect on the first of May. The city council will probably appoint, a new chief at its meeting next Monday evening. Ralph Quinn and family moved Victoria this week. ' Pte. R. VV.

Victoria,, April 8.���������Investigation of the schedule of charges recently made effective by the Consolidated Mining &' Smelting Company of Canada, a schedule concerning which many and loud complaints from mine owners in theSlocan and Nelson districts have been made to members of the legislature, as well as to the government, was urged in a resolution presented, by C. E. Nelson, of Slocan to the legislature today. J. H. Hawthornthwaite, New castle, wanted the enquiry made by a royal commission. There was no desire to interfere with the business of the company, Mr. Nelson said, but he thought it advisable that the enquiry should take place and tbe committee could then present its findings to the house and upon those findings whatever action was deemed advisable could be taken. Personally he would like to see the question investigated by royal commission. Mr. Hawthornthwaite expressed ! the belief that tbe company was guilty of deliberate discrimination against the mine owners with the Latin America's vital interest in Germany's plan of aggrandizement and attempt to .crush all world democracies is pointed out in messages addressed to the people of all South American republics by Viscount Bryce, former ambassador to the United States, and Viscount Northcliffe. "This war," says Lord Bryce, '"is unlike any other the world has seem not only in the vastness of its scale, but in the tremendous issues involved. It is'a war.of principles; a war waged for liberty against military tyranny; a war to save mankind from being ' enslaved by one ambitious and aggressive power whose military, chiefs have proclaimed that they mean to dominate Europe first and then the Western hemisphere. That is what brought the United States to fight beside the allies in Europe. "Her war aims are our: to vindicate the....public right .which..Germany outraged when she invaded Belgium, to reestablish the faith of treaties which Germany has shown she will violate whenever her advantage require it, to secure immunity for non-combatants whom the German government has massacred by thousands on sea and. land, and to deliver from the ..greatest peril that ever has threatened it. '���������A German victory would vanish republicanism from the worid, for the German government rules by torce, fear and cruelty. "The men of South America,where freedom took a.new birth a century ago.fellow countrymen of SanMartin, Bolivar, O'Higgins and many other Argentine, Chilean and Uruguayan patriots whose memory is honored today, will surely give their sympa thy to those who in Europe are fighting the battles of democracy and and humanity." Lord Northcliffe, in his message, said: "Latin America is as vitally interested as North America in Germany's attempt-to enslave the world. Latin America seems out of the danger zone today, but the defeat of France and the British empire would be followed by an attack upon South America as surely as night follows days. "The German monster already has cast greedy eyes upon your fair young republics of the south. The monster has his agents already among you prepared for action if success should attend his efforts to Empire or Commonwealth The following editorial, taken from the Vancouver World, is probably worthy of your best thought. It should appeal to us all: In the speech from the throne at the opening of the Ottawa house the governor-general in the words put into his mouth by his ministers, referred to-the British commonwealth instead of the British empire. -This fashion of speech is growing and ought to be encouraged The rrsolutions passed at the sessions of the imperial war cabinet last year all spoke of the British commonwealth, and it is noteworthy that General Smuts, as well as Sir Robert Borden, frequently uses the term, A commonwealth is a society of free people banded together for mutual aid and protection, and for the furtherance of equal liberty and opportunity for all. Its basis rests on the principles of Christianity, namely, those of service and sacrifice. Right and not force rules. On the other hand, an empire in the strict meaning of the term is an organization wherein physical force is dominant and the will of a central power claiming unquestion authority prevails. Germany is such an ampire. In a loose way the term "empire" has come to be applied to that extraordinary family of nations, dependencies and protectorates over which the British flag flies. But the term, though hallowed by usage, never fails to create misunderstanding in those lands where, our political system is not understood. If the WILLSENDDVEI I0NTR0DPS America Adopts New Plan and Will Rush Soldiers Overseas Wasiiixoton, April L���������A large part of the American army will be enroute to England as soon as transports are assembled, it is authoritatively learned here today. The.troops of America will replace the British forces undergoing preliminary training in England, allowing the latter to go to the front. This plan is entirely apart from the accelerated movement of Amecican troops to the French front. The best divisions of the Americans will go direct to France. The government believes a democratic victory must be assured this year. The Germans are straining every nerve for German peace, and realizing this, the previous American troops schedule has been destroyed, the new one being much faster. Secretary of War Baker is returning soon, and more than a million men will be shipped to France by the year's close under the present plan. Short.furloughs will be granted enlisted men, enabling them to help in farm planting, the war office announced ibis evening. Maj.

The business is a snap in this hind of cafes, sunshine and Yesterday's casualty list contained tbe name of Major Herbert N. Glossop as having died in the service in England. The cause of death was not 'given, but as he was past the age for active service at the front, it is supposed that he died from natural causes. Major Glossop was well known in this district. He lived at Whyte- leaf, Kettle Valley, and was a frequent visitor to this city. For some months prior to his enlistment in the 225th battalion he was in command of the 102nd Rjcky Mountain liangers. At that time he made his home at Nelson. He owned a ranch at Rock Creek, where he spent a great deal of his time. Major Glossop was a veteran of the Indian army, in which he served for several years. It was when he retired from army service thot he came to British Columbia. After the outbreak of the war the call to arms became too strong for him to remain in the mountains to fulfil the less hazardous duties of the 102nd, and he went vcith the boys of the 225th.

Today's dispatches indicate that thecentral powers are making preparations for a fresh offensive; but the allies are confident of being able to hold their present lines, and to drive the enemy hordes back after they have weakened themselves in attempting to break through the British and French lines. One hopeful feature of the present crisis'is: the Germans.apparently have all their available forces now in the western war zone, and therefore the offensive can not develop much more strength, while the allies are constantly getting reinforcements from the overseas dominions and from America. If the allies can hold their present lines for a few weeks longer���������and there is no reason for doubting their ability to do so, they should be prepared to engage in a gigantic offensive and to hurl the enemy back and to keep him going until he gets across the Rhine. When this event takes place the Germans will never come back. j tinct American type af face and physique. M.

The natural resources of this-country have been so bountiful that our people have been inclined to consider them inexhaustible. In the matter of food particularly, millions of dollars are wasted every year. Wheat; for example, is 'wasted on the farm; wasted on the road to the mill in some cases; wasted at the elevator; wasted throughout the course of its transportation;- wasted at the flour mill by reason of over^ refinement of flour to which we .have become accustomed; wasted in the homes. Of foodstuffs in general, it is calculated that $50,000,- 000 per annum is a conservative estimate of wast*71 that has gone on in Canada in recent- years. ������������������;.-' ^ When correctly fitted, relieve ey es train and headache.

John Hart delivered his first budget speech in the legislature at Victoria yesterday. He refered in general terms to the financial situation, which, he explained, "was serious," demanding careful study and not a little sacrifice on the part of all, but it was not incapable of satisfactory solution. He could hold out no hope of immediate relief from increased taxation. The government had planned to have a complete new assessment of all real property coming under provincial taxation made during the next few months, on which the 1919 rolls will be based. Mines must pay taxes on ore values or income. Canada is now involved in the greatest/war of all-time. She is fighting a nation who has organized her resources, men and materials, on a most thorough, modern, systematic basis. The wastefulness which goes on in Germany in times of peace is small in comparison t'o that which characterizes this continent, including Canada. In time of war, Germany still more strictly conserves and organizes, otherwise she could not withstand practically all the rest of the civilized world in this struggle. In the four years ef war the lessons of organization and avoiding waste have been brought home to the British people and to the dominions overseas. "Waste in war time is a crime," said the Canadian food controller, and his words have, been paralleled by the food controllers of Great Britain and fhe United States S When an Indian warrior felf hungry he tightened his belt.

By reason of an order-in council now in effect as the law of Canada,the governor-general in council, on recommendation of the minister-of agriculture, and pursuant of the advice of the-Canada food board, acting on the power conferred upon them by the War Measures act, has penalized wilful waste of food, due to careless or faulty storage. It is'now the duty of each municipality in Canada to enforce this regulation within its municipal limits. Where conviction is obtained, in a case of food or food products, resulting; from carelessness or from the manner of storage or any other avoidable cause, a fine not exceeding $1000 and not less than $100, or a period of imprisonment not exceeding three months, or both fine and imprsonment, There is considerable wisdom in the follow- wiH be imPosed.

"''",' It is not the intention of the Government to allow these men to evade permanently their obligation to bear their part in the military defence of the Country and of the ideals for which we are fighting. To do so would defeat the purpose of the Act, and cause grave injustice to men in the second class necessarily called out to fill their places. Exemptions Granted on False Grounds It is, therefore, proposed to scrutinize carefully all exemptions granted to date in order to separate those .which have been granted on false or insufficient grounds from those that are well founded. With this object in view the various Registrars under the Military Service Act have been instructed to issue a series of questionnaires to exempted men. These questionnaires must be filled up correctly and returned promptly under penalty of forfeiture of exemption for failure to do so. ��������� ��������� Exempted Men Who Have Changed Address It is therefore important in their own interest that all exempted men who have changed their address since their exemption was granted and who have not already notified the Registrar of such change should notify him at once. Under the Regulations it is the duty of exempted men to keep the Registrar advised of any change of address, and failure to receive the questionnaire by reason of neglect of this duty must be treated as equivalent to failure to return the questionnaire after receipt. Citizens Urged to Assist In many instances information has been furnished by members of the public which has led to the cancellation of exemptions obtained by false or misleading statements. Further co-operation of this character is invited. The Government regard it as the Duty of all loyal citizens, not only to the Country, but to the men at the front, to assist in this way in securing reinforcements on a just and legal basis. Correspondence of this character will be treated as strictly confidential and will receive the fullest investigation. CHARLES J. DOHERTY, Minister of Justice. Correspondence should be directed to Robt. S. Lennie, K.C., Registrar under the Military Service Act, Vancouver, B.C. L mSSSSSS* Bsaasa fiwmamiusi jggSBE ^ TARE your repairs to Armson, sboo repairer.
