The proper comment\nwill be made by every reader.

The Canadians\ncould march into a defeated country\n.iiumphantly, where there would be\nplunder and glory galore.\" After a\nweird distortion of figures to explain\n.he financial condition of Canada the\nwriter closes:\n\"The satrap, Borden, went to England to discuss tho crisis with his\nmasters. Tht other day he returned\noiinging with him his henchman, Sam\nHughes, minister of militia. These two\npitiful figures slunk In an obscure hold In New Y'ork.

A commission and a cheap\nknighthood. May these cheap favors\nbring him joy.\nA  Painful  Duty,\n\"it is painful for mo to recapitulate\nthis sad story. But the reason la\nmanifest. These dreadful deeds were\ndone to a quarter of a million of Teutonic peoples in Canada.

Ejactories had been\nruined, farms burned down, and unem.\nployment began to raise it grisly head,\nOne of tho best pictures that has\nbeen presented in American newspapers of General Joffre is thft^of Wythe\nWilliams, one of tho European correspondents of the New Y'ork Tfeies. He\nhas met .the French geiierallssijno...several times, and has talked with him.\nHo lias been conducted over large\nportions of the French front by members of Joffre's staff, and he has heard\nthe opinions of generals and privates\nabout tho man who ha.s such a hold\nupon the affection and imagination\nof both French people and army as no\nlader has had sinco Napoleon. It Joffre a Napoleon? is a question that is\nfrequently asked. It Is some improvement on the other speculation, Will\nthe war develop a Napoleon? For It\nseemB to mean that if there is a Na-\"\noolean yet developed In this war or\niu process of development it Is General Joffre, says tho Toronto Mail\nand Empire.\nModern Military Problems.\nThe question is not a very sensible\none, anyway. Joffre may not bo a\nA'apoleon. Nor was Napoleon a\nMarlborough, nor Hannibal an Alexander, though all were greut military\ngeniuses. But if there should be another great war in, say, fifty years,\nthe world may be asking, Will this\nstruggle produce another Joffre? The\nnoint is thut while every- great general\nmust study the campaigns of famous\n'renerals of the post, his understanding of them will be useless unless he\ncan contribute the necessary spark of\nhis own genius. Without this ' his\nknowledge will be like, an electric\n\u25a0ilant minus the current. Napoleon's\nTreat maxim was to beat a large army\nby subdividing It, and destroying it in\nsections. He depended tremendously\nufSbn the element of the unexpected,\nin this war the unexpected cannot often happen. The aeroplane, tho tele-\nnhone, wireless, and the huge numbers of men employed make it im-\npossilbe. So Jofrre cannot adopt the\nchiel Napoleonil principles, though\nbe may adapt some of them. He has\nInvented a principle of his own: \"I\nam nibbling at them,\" said Joffre. Mr.\nWilliams says that without huge maps\nit is impossible to understand the\nsteady success of the French nibbling.\nA mile taken here, and a couple of\nmiles there are healthy bites at the\nGerman front.\nFather Joffre and His Children,\nThe writer in the Times describes\na review of fifteen thousand French\ntroops by General Joffre \"somewhere\nin France,\" and draws a striking\nportrait of flic great general. He\nsays in part:\n\"A man detaches himself from the\nline of trees behind tlle group and\ncomes plowing his way across tho\nmud. He is largo and - bulky. He\nplants his feet firmly ttt each Step,\nsplashing tlie mud out iu all directions. He wears a short jacket of\nthe 'horizon blue' and no overcoat.\nHe wears tne old red trousers of tho\nbeginning of the war. His hat,\naround which you can seo the golden\nband of onk leaves signifying that he\nis a general, Is pulled low over his\neyes. Drops of rain are on his grizzled moustache. A leather belt is\nabout his powerful body, but lie\nwears no sword.\nA Big, Powerful Man.\n\"Langle de Cary and his officers\nwhirl about quickly at his approach.\nEvery hand i.s raised in salute. The\nbulky man touches the visor of his\ncap in response, then plants both his\nlarge, ungloved fists upon his hips. His\nfeet ure spread slightly apart. He\nspeaks to de Cary in.a low voice. As\nyou have already guessed, this big\nman is Joffre. Y'ou were told at the\nbeginning of the war that Joffre was\nx. little fat man\u2014like Napoleon. That\nis not true. Joffre is a big man. He\ns even a tall man, but docs not give\nsuch an impression because of his\nbull l'ew men possess at his age\nsuch a powerful or so healthy a body.\nThat is why hc cau cover so many\nmlles of battle front in his racing\nauto every duy. That is why he shows\nnot tin* slightest sign of the wear and\ntear ..f war.

Even in the battle-\nstahieil uniforms every regiment looked 'smart.\" Wli^n they canjo a-breast\nof Joffre. stolidly and solidly standing\na step in advance of the others, the\nlong line bf rifles raised in salute was\nas straight as ever that of a German\nregiment on parade at Potsdam.\nThe V.

Taking this view, tlie correspondent assumes that the Turks and- Germnns\nwill seize the first opportunity for an\nadvance upon Egypt. .Though he\nwrote before it was announced tli.it a\ngreat British army had been withdrawn from the Gallipoli peninsula,\nthis fact might liave supported his\ntheory that the next great phase .of\nthe war will be tho campaign against\nEgypt, and' that the British troops\nhave been moved to meet a German\nadvance.\nHe notes that tlie evacuation by the\nFranco-British forces of their last\nposition in Servia was confirmed early\nin the week. The contingent, clearing\nthe frontier, fell back unopposed on a\nline running approximately -3 miles\nfrom the northwest to tbe northeast of\nSalonika, arid using the alternating\nheights and defiles of the Greek .Macedonian mountains as Its. supporting\npoints. Tlie thoroughness of the work\nof destruction, organized largely by\nthe French, in which railways, bridges,\nroads and trails were made impassable, prevented the armies of the central allies from pursuing ^midi' beyond \u2022 Ghevgeli anil Doirafi.

The question naturally arises, What has become of the main army, 1.10.000 strong,\nthat crossed the Danube in the first\ndays of October anil begun tlie in-\nasjon of Servia? Its losses were comparatively small. Its efficiency has\nnot been impaired. H has been out of\nthe active zone of operations since the\nfall of Pristina and Mitrovitza, nearly three -weeks, except for minor columns that aided the Bulgars in dislodging the I'ratuo-lJritlsh army from\nthe Vardar front. Express train service was opened early in the week between thc Danube and the Golden\nHorn. Military trains had been making the journey except for a short gap\neast of Nish, where a.,wrecked tunnel\npresented .soHous..\" engineering diffl-:\nculties for two weeks before.

The more fact that the\nAbyssinian emperor has sent word to\nFrance that his army is at the command of the entente seems to dispose\nof the rumors that the -SeKftan propaganda in northern and eastern\nAfrica, and particularly in the Soudan, has been making headway. Discontent, It Ih admitted, has appeared\nin some districts as a result of German activities, but, there is a confident belief in tlio loyally of the great\nmass of native tribes to the cause of\nthe allied powers.\nThe transport of an Abyssinian\narmy into either the Suez or tho Meso-\npbtamian theatro of war would bo a\ncomparatively easy matter, due to excellent railway connection between the\nFrench port of Jubuti and the town\nof Addis Abeba in Abyssinia.\nIn Mesopotamia, Gen.

It covers a wide\nspan of 70 years. It i.s written with\nserenity and charm. It paints living\nthe nianagemefit I pictures of most nf the greatest figures of a stirring time. But, above all,\nit is of 'historical importdnce for its\nvindication of King Edward's mcrnory\nngtltlist the errors of Sir Sidney Lee,\nIn the \"Dictionary of National Biography.\" That such an account of -so\ngreat a sovereign should have appeared in a standard work of reference I.s\na national misfortune.\nTho 20 pages which Lord Redes-\ndalo devotes to correcting this \"contemporary judgment\" are among the\nmore valuable in the book. They give\nthe testimony of one who knew his\nmajesty intimately. At first it. is'\npointed out that Edward VII. was\nbrought up in lhe strangest fashions,\nprobably through the influence of the\nprince consort, or whom we.nre given\nthis curious picture:\n\"He was essentially a shy man. He\nwould enter a room to meet some visitor whom he had summoned, sidling\nup, at is were, along two walls of it\nbefore stepping forward to hold out\nhis hand. . . He preferred the second rate. So in art, as portrait painter ho was satisfied With Landseer and\nWititerhalter.\"\nKing Edward's Memory.\nThe piunce con.sorl'a_ indifference to\nbooks perhaps accounted for tiie i'n-\ndifference to literature with which bis\ncensoriouH biographer hus taxed King\nEdward. As an eager boy of 17 the\namusement devised for his leisure\nhours was \"turning over books of\ndrawings and prints.\"\nIf King Edward was not a bookish\nman lie bad a vast fund of knowledge\nand Information. While Queen Victoria and the prince consort saw little\nof the great men of their time outside\npolitics, King Edward knew them all.\n\"His memory was phenomenal; lie\nseemed unable to forget.\" His power\nof intelligent discussion\u2014which all remarked\u2014\n\"Was the result of long years of patient listening and inctuiry\u2014of those\nsame long years which his detractors\nhave us believe were spent to exhaustion in the pursuit of frivolous occupations and in the selfish sacrifice of\nduty to pleasure. No more false charso\nwas ever brought against a man in his\nexalted position.\"\nIt. is equally untrue that he neglected work, and this anecdote ls told\nby Lord Redesdale to prove how seriously tho King took his duties:\n\"Wo sat smoking and talking over\nold times for a couple of hours. Toward midnight ho got up and said:\n\"Now I must bid you goodnight, for. I\nmust get to work\"\u2014pointing to a lnrge\npllo of familiar red boxes. \"Surely,\" I\nsaid, \"your majesty Is not going to\ntackle all that work tonight?\" His answer wa?: \"Yes, I must. Besides it is\nall so Interesting.\"\nA Man Intensely Human.\nThe charge has been brought against\nhim that after he became King he enjoyed practical joking at tho expense\nof his friends. \"Nothing could be\nmoro misleading.\" says Lord Redesdale. \"When a very young man he\nlaughed at thc pranks of tho youngsters about him,\" but \"never either as\nprinco or king, did 1, during nearly\nhalf a century soo him take active part\nIn such games himself. My recollection of the King ... Is that of a\nmonarch deeply impressed with the\nduties and obligations of his exalted\nstation\u2014a man intensely human, and,\nlet his critics say what they will, altogether loveable.\"\nThe \"Dictionary of National Biography\" would lead the public to suppose that King Edward was a political\nnonentity. Lord Redesdale your just\nscorn on the remark: \"An irresponsible suggestion at a private party in\nParis that the entente ought to be converted Into a military alliance met\nwith no respbnse.\" 'The response,\" replies Lord Redesdale, \"is loud enough\ntoday ln the dunes of Inlanders, on the\nVistula, ln the Carpathians, nnd in the\nDardanelles.\"\nHe traveled Widely op the -qontinent,\nknew Its sovereigns and statesmen,\nwas \"Immensely popular In France,\"\nwhere his memory is Venerated today,\nand even in Germany tributes woro\npaid to his diplomacy and bonhomie.\nAfter all, It was tho Hamburger Nach-\nrichten which called him \"the first\nstatesman of Europe.\" He stood above\nthe factions \"and parties with one desire to help and save his country.\n\"The King loved Egland. He was\na patriot in the highest, I had almost\nsaid, the dlvlnest sense of the word.\nQueen Mary Tudur salfl that when sh\u00abi\ndied the word Calais would be fount}\nwritten,, upon her heart.

Eliot, in Philadelphia last week, asked the question,\nrepeated so often, \"Can . dfcmocracy\nbe us efficient as autocracy -in war?\"\nAnd he said that, If free governments\nare Jo live, ihey \"must be at least as\neffective lis \" autocratic governments\nIn developing industrial, commercial,\nfinancial . and military efficiency.\"\nThe.matter has been much discussed;\nand the seeming advantages of autocracy,\" unity of plan and direction,\nsecrecy, nnd so on, have been dwelt\nupon sufficiently. It is proper to remark, however, that \"autocracy\"\nmeons \"German autocracy.\" Russian\nautocracy is notoriously inefficient in\npeace and war, carried . on with a\ntruly Oriental amount of graft. Russia's vast population, territory, and\nresources, not her organization and\nher administration! make her unconquerable. Compare Russia, or\neven the greatly more developed Austria, with democratic France. In\neither financial or military efficiency\nis l-'rani'e unequal to Germany? Suppose she had Germany's population.\nGreat Britain is more efficient\"tharf\nGermany at sea. Slow in raising, inexpert in handling, armies, she has\ngathered* millions of soldiers, lffroifi\"\nneglect, of repented warnings, she\nwas unprepared for land warfare, her\nhold upon the sea is unshaken. Without her fleet the allies 'would have\nbeen beaten Jong ago. .Her.Uanadians,\nher Australians, all the flower of her\ncolonies, are fine fighters. . She will\nhold out to the. end, learning to fight\nbettor and better, as the north did in\nthe civil war.\nFrance and Great Britain are fighting the one great autocracy, a powerful, unscrupulous; scientific state, organized for war.- Wait till the end\nbefore, being sure that even German\nautocracy is' fatally efficient\nNot military inefficiency, but military unpreimredness is tbe fault of\ntlie American democracy.

They\nhave learned much from the war. They\nAdmire much In the German thoroughness and scientific administration. But\nin civil life they prefer liberty to restriction. For war they need only to\nbe. prepared. Perhaps something too\nmuch is said of the superiority of autocratic efficiency. It has been very\nimpressive, very' effective. Perhaps\nit is not as efficient as it has looked.\nThe economic efficiency seems to be'\nbreaking down. The naval efficiency\nwas a dream.

In a sense it was an accident.\nTlie Greeks had for years suffered\nmuch a.s the Macedonians have been\nsuffering; the Turks passed throug)\n.he land, outraging, robbing and mur-\nJerlng the population. At last in 1821,\n.here was a revolt; little Greece rose\nagainst mighty Turkey\u2014a case of Da-\n,-id and Goliath. The sulton collected\nfrom Egypt\u2014then part of his vast empire\u2014and all the ports of Turkey, a\ngreat naval force, and the work of repressing the rebellion was taken in\nHand with what Count Reventlow\nwould describe, in terms of admiration, as \"ruthlessness,\" for there is ^\nclose affinity between the Turkish and\nGerman methods. Greece\u2014courageous\nin despair\u2014was being bled to death\nwhen Britain, France and* Russia intervened and each despatched a\nsquadron to Grecian waters to \"stand\nby.\" The Turkish commander, Ibrahim\nPasha, was at first impressed by the\ndemonstration, and then came to the\nconclusion that lt did not amount to\nmuch and resumed his murders.\nThe Battle of Navarino.\nThe massarcre was continuing in all\nIts Turkish ferocity when the allied\nadmirals determined to see if something could not be done in a mild way\nto save the oppressed country. The\nBritish, Rrench and Russian ships proceeded to Navarino, where the Turkish-Egyptian fleet was assembled.\nPourparlers wore to be conducted on\nthe spot, for there-was no intention\ntonight so Impressive and assembly of\nmen-of-war as Ibrahim Pasha had un.\nder his orders\u2014at. least not at once,\nthough Codrington had made the nec\nessary preparations If counsel of humanity and reason failed.\nThe Turks ha dmobred their vessels\nround the bay, so as to command the\nwhole anchorage. Out of this arose an\nincident which precipitated the battle.\nOne of the British ships, the Dartmouth, sent a boat to a Turkish-fire-\nship requesting in the politest way\nthat it should shift its position. The\nofficer of the latter vessel was nervous and suspicious, so he opened fire\nand killed the officer in command of\nthe small British craft and some of\nthe crew. The Dartmoutli then intervened, a. French ship joined in, and one\noXtex another the vessels in the great\nharbor became engaged, and a general\naction occurred.\nFor three hours or so the battle raged fiercely, and when it ended the\nTurkish-Egyptian fleet had been practically annihilated. Codrington, in his\ndespatch summed up the result: \"Out\nof a fleet composed of 81 men-of-war,\nonly one frigate and 15 smaller vessels nre now in a state ever to again\nput to sea.\" No estimate was possible\nof the Turks' loss of life, but it was\nconsiderable, amounting to 650. The\nBritish people generally, whose sympathies had been moved by the sufferings of the Greeks, were delighted,\nand the Duke of Clarence, the lord\n-high admiral, reflecting public opinion,\ndealt out rewards and decorations with\na liberal hand; it is said that \"more\norders were given foi- ihe battle of\nNavarino than for any other naval\nvictory on record.\" The navy and the\nnation's heart was in the right place.\nThe  Debt of Greece.\nThus was the power of Turkey ot\nsea broken, never to be revived, as\nByents have shown. Ibrahim realized\n;hat he could not continue his terrible\ncampaign after such a defeat, and\nwithdrew from Greece. The sultan at\niast agreed that Greece should be an\nindependent kingdom under the protection of Britain, France and Russia,\nwhicli, at no mean cost of life and\n.reasure, had championed the cause of\nthis little nation; and after a short period as a republic Greece became a\nmonarchy, and thus King Constantine.\nhappens 10 have a throne today.\nAnd now the same powers, with the\nassistance of Italy, have helped to\n;ave the Greeks from the results which\nwould have flowed from any mistake\nwhich tlieir ruler might have committed in the late crisis. The Greeks\nire sailors; their king is a soldier,\nirougJlt up in the Prussian school.\ni_,ike many other people, he is fascinated by soldiers, and does not real-\n\u25a0v.e that in a contest between \"Mahan-\n-sm and Moltkeism\"\u2014as the Berliner\nfageblat^has put it\u2014the former must\nwin, and that on that victory the fu-\n.ure Greece must rest.\nGreece, in fact, owes everything to\nsea power. It saved her nearly ninety-\nyears ago from Turkish tyranny, and\n.t has since made her what she is today. Though the country is not an\n.sland, it lives, in the main, by the sea.\nit is agricultural, and produces vast\n.luantltles of currants, * olives, figs,\ngrapes (for wine), and tobacco. Most\nof these products ar-j luxuries, and\nconsequentlyr fhoudJVfaeece is an agricultural country, a'ml grows a good\ndeal of grai\/i, s(ie is'largely, dependent\non imported corn, thr'dugh the possession of Thesaaly will, render her less\ndependent than she has been. As in\n.he ease of the United KingdC!tri,~the\napparent balance of trade is always\n-igainst Greece; her imports are, in excess of her exports, and thc balance is\nadjusted by the earnings of her mercantile marine; next to agriculture.\nshipping is her most valuable indus-\n-ry.\nThe Greeks are the Carter Patersons\njy sea in the eastern Mediterranean.\nThey rule an immense number of islands, which can trade only by sea, and\n.hey are the carriers of produce for\nother nations; there is, moreover, no\nsea in which Grecian merchant ships\nire not seen. Since the war opened\n3reclan shipowners have been reaping\na rich harvest from the high freights\nwhich have ruled, for ship labor is\njheap in Greece. Adhesion to the\n.-ause of Germany would have resulted In n stoppage of nil oversea communications. Any interference with\nSreek shipping would prove a serious\njlow to the economic life of King\n,'onstantine's sublets. This would\nhave been all the more embarrassing\nto the Creeks because this country is\nine of the allies;  the Greeks do be-\nween a half and a third of their trade\nwith lhe United Kingdom.\nGREAT MEN AND\nFIGUREHEADS .\n-**-**-*+**+*+*\nAn American journalist who interviewed Gen.

But\njust as there are imitation artists\nwith long halr and velvet coals, so\nthere are Imitation great men. whoso\nbusiness in life is not to do great\nthings but to be conscious o'f their own\ngreatness and iby means of that consciousness to persiiadu others, that\nthey are great. Their face Is tlieir\nfortune, and they usually flref.i up to\nIt and live up to it. Tliere is no one\nin the world, for Instance, who is better at. being photographed than the\nkaiser. He can in n. moment assume\nthe expression of n'hero oil the stage\nthinking inscrutable thoughts. Indeed,\nthis expression has now become a\nsecond nature to him, so that be could\nhardly- be surprised without i' He ii\na living illustration of a romantic\nnovel, but Gen.

Joffre\nbecause he is 111.1 occupied with .conceptions of himself. No artist could\nmake a formula of him hor does lie\nmake a formula, 'of llimself for the\nphotographer. He is a captain not a\nfigurehead; and captains arc busier\nthan  figureheads.\nAt least they- nre busier about real-\nbusiness. It would be unjust to tlie\nkaiser to say lhat he was not busy!\nbut his business is 10 he a figurehead.\nand he does it so well that the German People seem to be very well satisfied with his activities. He Is for\nthem and for himself, a living work\nof art, and all Germans are fond of\nart. But they like their art \"a. little\nto expensive for our taste; an dif their\nkaiser is to represent a great man\nthere must be no mistake about his\ngreatness. Indeed no human being\ncould be so great as the kaiser looks\n\u2014not Caesar, nor Napoleon, nor Alexander himself. One feels that he\nwould never cry for new worlds to\nconquer; he would find them and conquer them. For him Deutschland is\nnot merely an Empire of this little\nplanet: it is the ideal of the universe,\nto which the universe, as soon as it\nKnows what is good for it wilt submit. Alexander, perhaps of all the\nworlid conquerors, is his aethetlc model\n\u2014for Attila excelled 'In deeds rather\nthan in looks\u2014but we doubt whether\nAlexander was ever so successful a\nfigurehead as the kaiser. Like Gen.\nJoffre he was a captain. A photographer or an interviewed, if he hail\nbeen exposed to these, would probably\nhave found him -busy over the commissariat or some other detail of a\ncampaign, it is only in legend that\nAlexander has the look of a conqueror;\nbut the kaiser wears that look always\nin fact, because it is his business to\nwear it. Undoubtedly he does it well.\nNo photographer has ever surprised\nhim without \"it; or at least, if be bus,\nthe protograph and perhaps the photographer, has been suppressed. He lives\nhis own legend, which the great men of\nhistory never did. The only question\nis whether his legend will survive\nhim.\u2014London Times.\n********************** **m\nGERMANY'S WEAKNESS 4\nIN THOUGHTi\nWithout conception of human or national rights, principles or spirit, Germany sits up aloft and says: \"We ure\nnow ready to receive overtures of\npeace which insure Germany's permanent gain.\"\nHaving scored below the line In\ngame points, by reason of Bitperprepar-\ninlness and selection of cards, she 1b\nready to disregard the honor score, add\nup Ihe sum of her military advantages\non land and negotiate for freedom of\ntho seas, expansion of German trade\nand Influence and compensation for\nGermany's sacrifices on behalf of\npeace.\nMany times the Wall Street Journal\nhas called attention to the immature\ncharacter of Germnn political and national thought. Prussianized Germany,\nthe youngest nation ln Europe, has\nbeen taught that war is a \"Kulture\ngame.\" Tho Imperial authorities have\ndeclared that Germany had only to\npush the war for enough t'o show its\nown invincibility nnd the surrounding\nnations would pay Germany the cost\nof tho war as the price of their peace.\nNo one can understand Prussianized\nGermany unless he understands its\nprimitive, or childish view In the wnr\ngame it hits been ..playfiig. '. Prussia\nIdoes not think from moral ethics inhuman principles of right, lt thinks\nentirely from tho standpoint of force.\nNowhere in the utterances of the\nkaiser or the chancellor, or any other\nimperial source, will one find nny\njudgment based upon rights, hpman\nor national; but always the argument\nof  force.\nPrussia has now been exclaiming for\nmany months: \"We have won; no enemy has taken from onr territory!\"\" It\nnow depends upon the enemies of Germany as to how far Ihey desire to push\nthe sacrifices of war, after their, utter\nrout on every side and the failure of\nIheir diplomacy in the southeast.''\n\"Isn'l it wonderful,\" said an international banker recently in private\nconversation, \"Germany winning all\nihe battles and losing all the war?\"\nThe outside world, the American\nworld, the Asiatic world, the African\nworld, knows that Germany is beaten\nand will have to accept and not dictate terms of peace. The outside world\nknows that this struggle Is over principles and that Germany and her system cannot survive: that the world\noutside her trenches is growing stronger daily than the world within her and\nthat the end is only, a question of time.\nY'et Germany can \u25a0 neither see nor\nunderstand. Every declaration, whether\nof the kaiser or the chancellor, betrays her internal weakness\u2014the weakness of thought.\u2014Wall Street Journal.\nTHORPE'S\nSHRINKS\nBusiness\nUiruciory\nA88AYER8,   \"  ~~^\n\u00a3 W.

The new plant will\ndc capable of treating 500 tons of ore\na day, from whieli the spelter produced will aggregate about 50 tons a day.\nThe coming year will therefore see\nthe zinc production of the province\ntrebled.\nSo far the only zinc produced has\nbeen the small amount from the experimental plant at Trail, probably\naveraging from half a ton to a ton a\nday. Tne zinc produced from the\nores hitherto exported from the\npiovlnca for want of a plant to treat\nihem here has reached ahout 9,000,000\npounds of zinc a year. Now the production of the province itself, thanks\n,o the enterprise of the Consolidated\n..lining and Smelting Company, Lim-\n.iccl, will aggregate from 26,000,000 to\n\u202210,000,000 pounds. At present market\nprices this zinc would have a value of\nover $4,000,000, but on the average\nvalue to which the metal will doubtless\nrevert after the war, the output will\nbe worth about $1,500,000.\nIt ls Interesting to know that development work done on the Sullivan\nmine by. the Consolidated Mining and\nSmelting company has proved it to be\none of the largest and most valuable\ndeposits of zinc ore on the continent.\nThe company is driving a low level\nuinncl two miles In length to provide\nfor the economical mining and shipment, of the ore from this mine,\nwhich will fotm tho principal source\nof supply for th0 new \"zinc plant at\nTrail.\nAnother Development.\nA new property about to be- opened\nlias presented many metallurgical difficulties on account of the complex\ncharacter of the ore. Now tho writer\nIs advised the difficulties have been\nsolved and we are to havo In British\nColumbia one of the -most interesting\ndevelopments in the chemical treatment of large 'bodies of low grade ore.\nIt Is proposed to er-fQt fl, large plant\nand there is no longer any doubt about\ntho tonnage available. The develop-,\nment will probably be the key to the\noperation* of other deposits of similar\ncharacter now lying Idle,\nANNUAL MEETING\nOFSLOCAN 1TAR\nDirector**    Report    Muoh    Success    in\nOperation of Slocan  Property\nSince  Month of May\nAn event of more than ordinary importance in mining was the annual\nmeeting, jn Vancouver this week of\nthe Slocan Star Mines Limited, says\nthe .Vancouver Province.

Operations wero\ntherefore oonfined to development until market commons* improved. On\nMay JS the .-concentrator again commenced operations. Shipments of\ncrude ore from, development amounted to 294 tons lead ore, assaying S8.94\nounces silver per ton, and 59.86 pet-\ncent zinc, of the gross value of $20.-\n502.11; and 43.10 tons zinc ore assaying 12,01 ounces silver per ton, and\n43.6 per cent zinc, or a gross value\nof $1434.77, or a. total value of $21,-\n936.88  of crude ores sold.\nIn addition there were sold 665 tons\nof lead concentrates carrying CG.56\nounces of silver per ton, and 58.33. per.\ncent lead; ami .there were produced\nIn addition 1400' tons of stipe concentrates, which remained unsold at tho\nend of the financial year. The company had entered into a contract with\nan Ajjicricim company t.i market its\nzinc concentrates, but when the price\nof spelter advanced abnormally the\npurchasers, refused to abidij by their\ncontract, with the result that the.sine\nconcentrates were left on\" the company's hands. Since the report was\ncompiled 5.00 tuns of these concentrates have been sold to another\nAmerican company, who are now negotiating for tlie balance.\nDevelopment during the year\namounted to 1309 feet, paid for entirely from the income from ore sales.\nThe main ore shoot has been struck\non No. 9 level and is being developed\nas rapidly as possible. A compressor\nand other appliances for economical\nmining tyere added during the year.\nWith improved marketing facilities,\nmetal quotations and developments in\ncontemplation the report concluded\nby expressing' the hope that the present year will have satisfactory results\nfor the shareholders.\nSuperintendent's Report\n\"The superintendent, Oscar White,\nreported fully on the results of development work and condition of the\nmine. This report showed that on\nSo. 2 level tliere Is a strong vein of\nzinc blende froin which ore carrying\n45 per cent' fcihe can be sorted. On\nNo. 8 level hi'itaixJt of* ore 60 feet long\nhad been opened up. T( is-'sCVeii \"feet\nwide and consists of mixed ore with\nbunches of clean ore. The face is In\ngood vein matter, and it is expected\nto prove up the downward extension\nof the shoot in No. 5. Work on No. 9\nconsisted of cutting station, drifting\nand raising. Crosscut on No. 10 was\ndriven by J.-M. Harris.\nThe mill ran 251 shifts of eleven\nhours and milled 17,837 tons of dry-\nore, au average of 71 tons per shift,\nproducing 665.5 tons lead concentrates,\nassaying\" 66.5 ounces silver per ton,\n58.3 per oent lead and 8.1 per cent\nzinc; also 1400 tons zinc concentrates,\nassaying approximately 15 ounces silver and 32 per cent zinc. Milling costs\naveraged 37(4 per ton milled and mining and tramming $1.55 per ton, making a total of $1.92 per ton milling and\nmining. Gross value of lead concentrates amounted to $60,775.66, and net\nprofit from lead alone, after allowing\nfor freight and smelting charges,\namounted to $7066.66.\nMr. White recommends extension of\nnew level on No. 12 -rein 4*0 feet to\nIntersect Slocan Star vein; continuing\nNos. 8, 9 and 10 several hundred feet\nto points under two known ore bodies*\nIn upper levels; extension Of No. iff\nwestward (o a point under the Silversmith ore shoot, one of the highest-\ngrade shoots in the mine. Diamond\ndrilling should be done. Grinding and\nsliming machinery should be added to\nthe mill and more power provided;\nalso an aerial tram from the mill to\nthe town.\nStopes 810 and 811 are showing up\na much better class of concentrate, aa\nWell as considerable crude ore. The\nnew ore being opened up on No. 9 is\nthe continuance of the shoot on No. 8\nand will no doubt he found on No. 10.\nThere is a large tonnage of zinc ore in\nNos. 2, 3, 4, 5 levels, part of which\ncan be mined at'a profit with the present prices of zinc.\nJ. H. White informed the meeting\nthat, estimating the value of zinc at\n5 cents per pound, there is developed\nIn * the mine zinc ore of a value of\n$590,000. Several shareholders paid\nhigh compliments to Mr. Lennie for the\nexcellent manner in which he had\nhandled the affairs of the company,\nand special notes of thanks were passed to R. S. Lennie, chairman of the.\nlioard, and Oscar White, mine superintendent.\nThe following board of directors was\nelected for the ensuing year: R. S.\nLennie, J. Elliott, of Vancouver; A.

Impulsive, excitable;\nall these things he may be, but all\nthese defects were, as glaringly apparent in Caesar and Napoleon. The bulk\nof the people, however, are Inclined\nto judge the minister of militia by\nwhat he has accomplished. They have\nlittle regard for those who make It\ntheir business to flatter dr those who\nmake it their business to villify him,\nSizing up the man and his work they\nsee a war minister who works seventeen hours a day and never'a moment\nwasted; who has sent more men to\njthe front in a year than the British war\noffice was able to get to the front during the entire Crimean .var: who\npushes, drives and sometimes shakes\nhis fis't' and swears at people, but\nmakes them obey, fall into line and\npull  together for the  same great end.\nA lot of people say that the minister\nis egotistical; lie may be. A man\nmust believe in himself before ho -can\nmake other people believe In him.\nPerhaps those, who criticize the general are more modest themselves; no\none at least has had the temerity to\nsay that lie could take Sir Sam's place\nas minister nf militia.\nAll  Business\nSomehow we do not like that \"Sir\"\ntacked on in front of. the democratic\n\"Sam.\" lt scarcely becomes the nigged democrat, but It is in the day's\nwork to be knighted ns it is lo be\nabused or praised, to be called up by\ntelephone or to he written up in the\nlifewspapers. And so the general goes\non his way, and a very busy way It Is\nYou will find his at his desk in the\nmilitia department as early as 7 o'clock\nin the morning ho Is at work with 7\nsecretaries about hlm at half past\neight. The general disposes of his\nmall ina way that the. great captains\nof industry might envy. He gets\nthrough more work in an hour than\nthe average man in his position would\nget through  in a week.\nIt is all business at the militia, department, YoU get what you want, or\nyou do nut get it. without loss of time\nor much ceremony. There is no siting for hours In the ante-rooms, but\nyou ure taken almost dlreltly into the\nminister's private ofice. It ia a \"private\" office but seven secretaries are\ntalcing dictation. You. therefore, state\nyour \"business quickly. Vou prefer\nyour request without circumlocution.\nThe answer comes like a rifle shot and\npierces the heart i.f your petition. It\nIs \"Yes,\" or \"No,\" \"Hood day,\" and get\nout.\nGeneral Sir Sum Hughes, K.C.H., fs\na self made man so far as titles are\nconcerned. He came Into the world\nwithout ally. He was born in Durham\ncounty, Ontario, on the Sth of Jan.\n1853. He is said lo have joined tho\nmilitia at 14, and there were no buy\nscouts or cadet corps at that time. He\nhas been in the militia ever since. We\ncan hardly think of him at all except\niu connection with the militia. Indeed,\nbefore the war broke nut he was regarded as somewhat military mad, but\nthe ..Hughes family has a turn in that\ndirection. The general has five brothers who had risen to the rank of\ncolonel liefore tho war broke out. A\nnephew, the son ot Dr. James' L.\nHughes, only a few days ago was reported killed in action. His son. Garnet Hughes, -is the youngest Brigadier-\nGeneral at the front.\nGraduated With  Honors\nSir Sam went to school before he\njoined the militia. Indeed he cuuld\nnot have been much more than 14\nwhen he matriculated at Toronto University and had already Joined the\norange order. He was no doubt a\nhard student for lie graduated with\nhonors, but his college days are principally recalled ln connection Willi his\nprowess as an all-round athlete. He\nwas a good hand at every sport, but\nhis name first became a household\nword in Ontario by reason of his\nachievements on the lacrosse-field.\nForty or fifty years ago lacrosse was\nIII fact, as ft still js ln name, tbe national game of Canada. The best lacrosse player in Ontario was as truly\na national figure in the Canada of 40\nyears ago as the best, huseball pitcher\nIs a national hero In the l'nited.*States\ntoday. -Small hoys must worshipped\nand pretty girls frankly admired the\nToronto champion wherever he went\nin Upper or Lower Ca inula. A, handsome young fellow he must have been\nund a player with dash, daring and\nresource. To this day the general has\na big silent following all ovcr Canada\namong the men who best remember\nhim as tlieir hero in lacrosse.\nOne Is a little surprised to find that\nafter graduating at Toronto.university\nGen. Sam\u2014as he now is\u2014should huve\nsettled down to so prosnlc a Job as\nteaching school. For 10 years hu was\na lecturer at the Jarvis street collegiate. Ho was a good teacher and popular with his pupils, \u201ewho by the way\nnlso form a small army of people who,\nln spite of everything swear by Sam\nHughes, \u2022 \u2022 Hut Sam was looking for\nand planning ahead. He had already\nmade up his mind to outer public life\nfrom some district outside Toronto. Finally he went to Lindsay, where he\nbecame editor and proprietor ot the\nWarder. He wooed Victoria with assiduity and success. Coquettlshly she\nturned him down when he contested\nNorth Victoria in the Conservative Interest at the general elections In 1891\nbut a year later, when a byelectlon\niffered an opportunity to repent Victoria county sent Sam Hughes to the\nhouse of commons and has kept him\nthere  over since.\nIrish and   Frenoh   Descant.\nGeneral Sam's parents were of north\nof Ireland origin, but his mother was\nof H'ugetiot descent. Sam Is rather\nproud of his French blood, and being\nHugenot.lt does not do him any harm\nwith the unterrifled electors of Victoria\nand Hallburton. He rather delights to\nInvade Quebec, where the men give\nhlm a good reception although in that\nirnvlnco  mothers   still   frighten   re\nfractory children Inio silence by\nthreatening to call either Dr. Sproule\nor Sam Hughes.\nGeneral, Sam ol' course Is an Orange\nman. He could never be neutral. But\nhis quarrel Is rather with the clergy\nthan with the people and he has more\nthan once quite freely expressed himself respecting the clergy of all\nchurches. He puts bimself-'down as a\nMethodist but it may be snid without\noffense that the general is* broa*\nminded Christian who deprecates creed\nantagonism. He Is said to get the\nRomun Catholic vote In his own riding\nand that on the whole ls not surprising. Sam has always been ready to\nrun his feet off to serve a friend and\nit makes no difference to him what\nchurch  that friend belongs  to.\nGoneral Sam's great grandfather,\nJean Saint Pierre\u2014not Jean Baptiste\n\u2014fell fighting for Napoleon at Wator\nloo. Two of his sons fell on the same\nday, and in the same cause, perhaps\nIn the lost dramatic charge of the old\nguard. So the general comes honestly\nby his fighting blood.\nOf course he was a little too young\nfor the Trent affair In 1861 and the\nFenian raid in 1860, but he got to\nthe front and secured a medal In the\nFenian raid in 1870. There were few\ncasualties ln that* war that we car,\nnow remember, but there are pensioners galore. It was not the kind of wa,\nthat appealed to the great grandson\nof St. Pierre and for years after Sam\nHughes vainly sought for glory eveli\nat the cannon's mouth. He personally\noffered to raise a corps 'for the Egyptian and Soudanese campaigns, the\nAfghan frontier wur ami the Transvaal\nwar. He got to South Africa like a,\nshot when- there was real fighting* to\nbe done, although a fussy British officer stationed in Canada did ail lie\ncould  to prevent  him.\nWe learn from'the autobiographical\nsketch in the- Parliamentary Guide\nHint the then Col. Hughes In the\nSouth African war went as assistant\nto Inspector General Steele, on the\nlines of communication and subsequently as chief of the intelligence\nstaff to Gen. Settle in the (lordonian\nand Brloska campaigns. 'Then he went\non the staff of Gen, Sir Charles Warren in the Griqualaiul West and He-\nt'buanaland campaigns, and later on\ncommanded tbe mounted brigades In\nthe snme campaign.\nBut these are dry annuls. From- the\ncolonel's own letters home we g.-t a\nmore Vivacious account of what happened in South Africa. Ho was frequently mentioned in tbe despatches\nand could have secured a. commission\nin the Hritish army at the close of thc\nwar had he not preferred' to return to\nCanada.\nRoss Rifle Caused Discord.\nReturning from South Africa, Col.\nHughes became again ensrossed in bis\nparliamentary duties at Ottawa. He\nhnd opposed the Laurier government\nbut inclined to keep the militia out of\npolitics, H-e should have beeii* the\nspokesman of his parly in riiilitari\nmatters, but an apple af discord in\nthe shape of the Ross rifle made this\nfor a long time out of tbq.question.\nSir Charles Ross, a Scottish baronet\nhad served through the South African\nwar with a rifle of his own Invention,\nto some extent n^jjilelled upon the.rifle\nin use in the Austrian army He conceived tlie idea of manufacturing such\na rifle for the use of the Canadian\ngovernment. The Dominion small arms\ncommission, of which Cot Hughes was\na member, recommended the rifle with\nsome mollifications as a suitalvle service rifle for the Canadian militia.\nThereafter under a -contract with the\nCanadian government. Sir Charles built\nhis rifle factory on the Plains of Abraham, near Queliec. He was manufacturing extensively and the government was taking his output when the\ntenth parliament opened its first session  in  1S05.\nThe Conservative members came to\nOttawa prepared to denounce the contract made by the government and also\nIhe rifle Itself. Major G. Fowler and\nthe. late Dr. Worthlngton led the assault but Col Hughes refused to Joiin\nthe attack. On the contrary he range,\nllimself nu the side of -Sir .Frederic!.\nItorden and staunchly defended the\nRoss rifle. Some were for reading him\nout of the party, but after he becunv\nminister of militia they hod to go way\nback  und sit down.\nIt   will   be   observed   that   although\nGeneral Sam has always been a grea\nimperialist   he   has   never   permitted\nCanada   to   take   second     place.     H\u00bb\nwould  probably  repeat    Sir    William\nepigram  that. Canada should be Juyal\nnot  to   England   but   tn   the  Empire\nHe .did   not   hesitate   to   cross  sword\nwith  Gen. Hutton  and  we know  how\nho   called   the   Brlltsh   commissioner\ndown when they attempted to bar ih\nRoss rifle from the Bisley meet. Eng\nllsh papers say he talked to Kltchene\nlike a  Dutch  uncle the  last time, b\nwent to England and we can plctui\nhim  speaking  up  to  King George  a\nHotspur  spoke   up  to  King  Henry   i.\noccasion   demanded.\nIn and out of session the general ha\ndemanded a closer union in the natur*\nof a partnership among the: nation\ncomposing the British Empire. H\nthinks Imperial federation feasible. H>\nsays it presents lesB difficulties thai\ndid the federation of the.Americai\ncolonies in 1787, or the federation ol\ntho Cunadian colonies 80 years later\nHo has no patience with those wh<\nlook forward to Canada becoming Ir,\ntime an Independent nation. He hus\ndeclared In tho house of commons thai\nhe would prefer annexation to Independence. Neither alternative he considers to be ever possible; no one outranks him as an imperialist, zeal,.us,\nsincere and  optimistic. \u2022 _ ^\nBreathes Robust Canadian Spirit,\nWe have long suspected tliht all \"native bom Canadians, no matter what\nthey mny say to tho contrary, are really\nfund of Hum Hughes, lie is racy, of\ntho soil nnd always breathes the sjjlclt\nof a robust Canadianlam.\nWho can tell what the future Jul* In\nstore for him?

Hut what of the\nrest? To many the lack of literature\nU one of the most seritnis of deprivations. We are not all strong silent\nmpii of action out here. Many of ur\nnr^ fra\u00abklv men of peace. Our paths\n\u00abpempd to lie in the quiet Wftyfl of\n^\"dv and contemplation, our pursuits\nwere intellectual rather than physical.\no\"r pleasures were those that could be\nen'oved within the four walls of our\n'mnn. That khaki-covered rnffinn.\n**nul to the waist-band, and bearded\n''ke the bard, is absently Ihlnkinir of\n'\u25a0\u2022ich a room, well lined with shelves\n*it books, which, it seems, ho inhahil-\nd in davs long past, when a soldier\n-\u25a0'as a person who did heroic things in\nTie nages of Herodotus or Caesar, or\n\u00ab botatei*OUS subaltern at a house Party\n\u25a0rho had on. unaccountable but cheerv\n\u25a0*o\"t*\u00bbmpt for literature. Will he ever\nv\u00bbturn to that tranquil heaven? Now\nV works hard at soldiering and his\n'lours of leisure are few. Hooks are\njjpsqy to convey and in a sudden ad-\nVance it wrings his heart to jettison\n*hem. So he goes unsatisfied. Hut\n\u2022onight Is a special occasion. The\nnadre has brought in a sheaf of literature designed for the delectation of\nTommy, and he eagerly fastens on It.\nWhatever Tommy may think of it,\nthere is no doubt as to what his schoolmaster officer thinks. To him it is\nMke a breath from that book-lined\nroom where his friends in their familiar garb clustered round him when\nthe shades of evening fell. Once more\nthose well-tried friends gather round\nhim. It Is like a sudden meeting in a\nyruwded room, no timo for totjftf conversation, just a nod hero, a cheery\ngreeting over another's shoulder, a\nhasty hand clasp there, but what a\ndifference it hu* made to tho day.\nThe Bookworm Officer\nIn ten minutes he has talked with\nthe genial Uimh and the kindly Haz-\nlitt, he has listened to the slow burr\nof brave old Gobhett, and the placid\ntones of Fisherman Walton. He has\nlooked through tho keyhole at the\ngame of oribhage that Richard played\nwith the marcliionesN, ho has sat with\nPartridge at the play and trembled\nwith Garrlck at thc ghost. His blood\nhas thrilled with the battle songs of\ntlie Old Testament and his heart tingled to. the touch of the maater In the\nbattle speech of Henry at Aglncourt.\nOur bookworm officer is discovering\nthe secret of great literature\u2014namely,\nihat Us appeal can only reach off to\nwhat is already there, the heart to\nsympathize, the brain to grasp, the\nmemory to register, the intuition to\nunderstand. And to him who has been\n'doing real things at last and moving\n[among live men aud dealing with tho\ngrand rejiijties, tliere'OSW^ -greatness\nland dehths in these old classics that\nhq has never plumber before. That is\nthe wonderful .thing about these few\nsnippets of literature, apparently so\nhaphazardly selected. Their appeal is\nso happily directed to what is already\nin his heart, tn flare up at the slightest spark of tlie Divine fire.\nHere is a parage from the Old Testament and another from the New. He\nknows theoretically tlio greatness of\nits literature. He is ready tn grow enthusiastic over its pure wells of Kngllsh undeflled. Homeotie has thought it\ngood to reprint a page of literature and\nsend it out to him labelled as such, and\nhe catches his breath at the marvellous\naptness of the appeal:\n\"If Thy people got out to battle\nagainst their enemy, whither.sqev,er\nthou shalt send them, and shall pray\nunto the Lord, . . . then hear\nThou in Heaven their prayer and their\nsupplication and maintain their cause.\n\"What shall we then say to these\nthings? If God be fur us, who can be\nagainst us ? . . . Who shall lay\nanything to the charge of God's elect?\n. . . For I am persuaded that\nneither death, tier life, nor angels, nor\nprincipalities, nor powers, nor things\npresent, nor things to come, nor height,\nn#\u00bbr depth, nor any other creature, shall\nbe able to separate us from the love\nof God, which is iti Ghrlst Jesus our\nI^ord.\"\nThe  Word  \"Freedom\"\nIs not this great literature? It is\nsomething more. It Is great truth and\nDivine consolation. Or take again the\nvirtue of patriotism. U is a word that\nhas been much to tlie fore lately. But\npreviously the Knglishman was rather\nchary of using it and It is still not in\nmuch favor in the army. When you\nhave the thing you sometimes have\nlittle use for the word. Hut my bookish officer takes up another broadsheet\nand he reads again words whose splendor he has often admired and finds his\nown thoughts on the present situation\nreflected in the speech of Henry V, to\nhis soldiers:\n\"He that outlives this day and comes\nsafe home.\nWill stand a tip-toe when this day is\nnamed\n\\nd rouse him at the name of CHsplan\n(ay, or Festubert or Hooge),\nAhd gentlemen in England, now abed,\nShall  think  themselves  accursed  they\nwere not. here\nAnd hold their manhoods cheap whiles\nany speaks\nThat fought with us upon St. Michael's\nday.\"\nThe speech of Pericles i.s no longer the\noration of a dead statesman but a reminder to us of the glorlmis heritage\nwe fight, for and principles as dear to\nan   Knglishman^ as  they  were   to   tho\nmen of Athens, and \"knowing that\ncourage is freedom and freedom happiness, do ftot let us be too careful in\nweighing the perils of war.\" It is euri-\ni us how the \\vnrd \"freedom,\" which\nonce was an abstraction much dwelt on\nby politicians and theorists, is now a\nbattle cry that stirs our blood: that\npatriotism, once a subject for debate\nand academic reasoning, is now a\nburning Instinct that defies expression.\nSo wo turn to the old classics and they\nput our feelings Into words and we\neome away exhilarated and braced\nfrom the contact. That is the secret\nof great literature.\nBut all our titerature is not of one\ntvpe. There is Dickens fwho are the\nfools who call him second rate?, and\nMantllini.  Micawber and Richard Swi-\nI veller and the Marchioness disport\nthemselves before us In as many pages.\nThere  is  Gray's   Elegy.     Now at   last\nI we will undertake the task so unfortunately  neglected   in   those  receptive\nj days of boyhood,  and  learn  by  heart\n! that wonderful little gem. Thero is\nHub Acres with the courage oozing out\nof his finger tips as he contemplates\nthe prospect of being pickled and sent\nhome, and Falstaff and his buckram\nknights,   and  a   bust  of    old     friends,\nI whose honest  faces show  more worth\ni after a sojourn among the upstart\nsevenpenniea and the slovenly shallow\n{ih>wn-at-heels yesterdays.\nCIVIC  ACCLAMATIONS\nPOPULAR IN ONTARIO\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nTORONTO, Dec. 2S.-^Monday was\nmunicipal nomination day throughout\nOntario, when nominees for office in\nthe various civic electiods came forward.

C. J. Archer has announced\nthat there will be no parade of H com.\npany, 107th regiment, until Tuesday\nJan. 4, at 8 o'clock.\nT\nGood Audience  Evidences Hearty Appreciation of Work of Company\nat Opera House\nSeldom have the citizens of Nelson\nbeen treated to a performance of such\nall round artistic merii as that rendered by the artists who iiiadi- up lhe\nconcert cumpuny whicli performed in\naid of tlie Belgian relief fund at.tlle\nopera house last night. Although tlio\nprinted program was not strictly adhered lo, several numbers of a patriotic nature being Introduced, their\nrendition was such that from an artistic standpoint they lefl nothing to\nbe' desired.\nAldlle. Daisy Jean, who opened the\nconcert, proved to be truly an artist\nshowing a. mastery of the most difficult of stringed instruments, the.'cello.\nIn her first number, a concerto by\nDvorak, she displayed a vibrant sustained tone nf rare beauty, bringing\nout the little underlying melody und\novercoming the technical difficulties\nwith ease; Her \"Tarentelle,\" by Popper, a well known number particularly\nadapted to the 'cello, won her un enthusiastic encore, for which she played Saint-Saens' \"The Swan,\" with an\nexquisitely even, sweet singing quality\nof tone.\nMdlle. Ootavia Belloy. from the Antwerp opera house, proved to be the\nideal soprano, having that most beautiful of all voices, the voice of soprano\nrange combined with mezzo-soprano\nquality. He.i'\u201e.bUf d Vim Ull\" from Gounod's \"La *,RiMhe .de Saba,\" was an\nartistic treat, the rich, round notes\npouring forth under perfect cont nil\nmade her singing a pure delight. Her\ndramatic appreciation of the scene\nfrom which file number is taken visualized the picture for those who have\nheard the opera sung. As an encore\nshe wing, \"Little Grey Home in the\nWest\" in English, with an appealing\nbeauty of voice, her foreign accent\nmaking the liltle song all Ihe more\ncharming. Mdlle. Belloy changed her\nprogram slightly, singing \"My Hero,\"\nfrom \"The Chocolate' Soldier.\" and a\npatriotic song \"Till the Boys Come\nHome.\" Massenet's \"Lo Cid,\" a quite\nwonderful bit of music from a melodic\nstandpoint again proved Mdlle. Belloy\nto be the possessor of a lovely voice,\nperfectly trained.\nJan Colllgnon's rich, mellow voice\nshowed to advantage in his intensely\ndramatic number. \"Le Coy,\" by\nFlegier, but the audience wus quite\ncarried away by his encore, the splendid rendition of a war song, \"On to\nBerlin,\" a song with a swing and dash\nall its own. M. Colllgnon's big, sonorous voice ringing out in the chorus\nwith a fervor that made the audience\none with him in hope and faith for\nthe allies. That famous nolo of all\nbaritones, the Toreador song from\n\"Carmen,\" Was enthusiastically received, as was the duet of 51. Collignon and Willie Flanagan, another\nstirring patriotic, number, \"The Battle\nEve.\"\nMr. Flanagan's voice is a tenor of\nwide range and pleasing timbre nnd\nhe was especially happy In his Irish\nnumbers, \"In an Old-Fashioned Town\"\nand \"Mother Machree,\" while In his\nduet with Mdlle. Belloy, the \"Miserere\"\nscene from \"II Trovotore.\" his light,\nclear tenor fulfilled all of the traditions of the Tower music.\nMdlle. Oabrielle Radoux was an excellent and sympathetic accompanist\nand one wished that it had been possible to have heard iutf iq..solo work,\nas the small opportunity afforded by\nthe accompaniments gave promise of\nexceptional expressional power and\ncomplete mastery of technique.\nAfter M. Colllgnon's and Mr. Flanagan's duet the entire audience rose to\nits feet when Mr. Flanagan announced that M. Collingnon would sing the\nBelgian National Anthem, after the\nsinging of which Mr. Flanagan sang\n\"O Canada.\" The accompanist struck\nthc opening chords of \"God Save the\nKing\" and tho audience Joined In the\nsinging of the National Anthem.\nCORP.

I  do  not\nwant to mention tho   names   of  any\nwell-known politicians, but there was\nno lack of people willing to put then*\nselves at the head of the revolution\nary movement who belonged  to different   political   parties    and    social\nclasses.\n\"The most superficial analysis of\nthoso persons, of their points of view\nand their convictions, convinced mo\nthat tho movement, under tho circumstances, could obtain no decisive\nresult, but would only have brought\ntho country into a state of complet\ndisorganisation. Thoy possessed\nneither unity of purpose nor a definite plan, least of all any faith in their\nown strength. Although they were\nprobably qulto prepared to sacrlfloe\ntheir lives ln tho struggle, those men\ncould not carry the cause through to\nthe end, t6 tho triumph of their will\nover the king and government.\nOthor Point of View\n\"There doos not seem to have beon\nmuch seriousness or soundness, moreover, In the other point of view\u2014a\npoint of view which In shored hy a\ngreat many well known politicians\nwho have wide influence in the country an(t~,ul\u00ab). defnlto political idoa.\nThey sulci to me: 'A revolution In\nBulgaria  is  iinitosslblc.

Before the quadruple entente could profit by this-revolution,\nTurkey, Rumania   und   Greece   could\n0 disorganize us that even In tho\nevent   of a   victory  for  the   revolution\nshould   not   be   able   to help you\nvery   seriously.     The   only   clrcum-\ntuncc which could realize the possibility, of a revolt in Bulgaria is the\nappearance of considerable forces of\nentente troops lu our territory, and\nthe neighborhood of our frontiers. If\nthese forces arrive in time, and If\nthey make any impression by tlieir\nnumbers and preparations, then the\nBulgarian army would find in them\nboth its defenders and lhe organizers\nif the coup d'etat.    A  Hussian descent\nmi Varna or Burgas, or indeed \u25a0 lhe\noccupation of Macedonia by ihe allied\narmies, would create for all lhc elements prepared psychologically for\nthe struggle, and thc sacrifice tlu!_pys-\nsibility of going over to this artny-nnd\naccomplishing the strike with the\nminimum of - complication and disorganization.\nOrdered Mobilization\n'These were* tlie words -ofmon who\ntook a very earnest view of the destiny of their country and'nation.

He said the German\nfleel was reudy. willing and waiting,\nbut tbo Britons skulked in hiding, fearful of a test. Un a par with this is tho\nofficial statement given out by tho\nGerman admiralty yesterday. It follows:\nA portion of our fleet last week\nsearched the North sea for the\"\nenemy. It then cruised on thc 17th\nand 18th In the Skagerack to watch\ncommerce, examining 52 vessels\nand seizing one carrying contraband. During tho whole time the\nBritish naval forces nowhere were\nsighted.\nTho impression Is given by this\nthat the bold German fleet has beon\nsearching the North sea for enemy\nships, has failed to find them and has\nreturned to its base lu disgust at the\ncowardice of the foe.\nIt may bo that the German people\nenthuse over such official statements,\nbut theirs must be an empty enthusiasm, for only last week a safe conduct had to be asked of Groat Britain\nIn order that two dlsgracod German\nofficials could get - home from tho\nUnited States.
