The contract\nfor the new arsenal was. let on a percentage basis which will vary according to the amount of engineering work\nrequired, but which will, it is estimated, average 10 per cent or more\non the cost.\nThe reason why the company was\nchosen without tender is explained by\nthe fact that the company has had experience in constructing arsenals in\nthe United States. The estimated cost\nof the building is about $675,000,\nthough it, is believed that the total\nbuilding and ejuipment cost will considerably  exceed  that amount.\nWhile tenders have not been called\nfor on the construction, all materials\nwill be purchased by tender, all of\nthese, tenders to bo submitted to competent officials of the government\nIt is estimated that the plant will bo\nready for the manufacture of rifles\nand ammunition early next summer.\nRIOTS   REPORTED   IN\nDUTCH WESJ INDIES\n(Hy Daily News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Aug. 2D.-\u2014A despatch to\nReutcr's from The Hague says there\nhave been riots in the Dutch East Indies at Moortembeci, in Jumbi.

A\nlarge body of troops was brought in\nfrom Chaikis lo reinforce the Athens\ngarrison. Soldiers with fixed bayonets\nlined the streets in the vicinity of the\nresidence of M. Venizelos.\nImmediately following the meeting a\ncommittee of representative Liberals\nwas named to present King Constantlne with resolutions outlined in the\nspeech of M. Venizelos. The text of\nthe resolutions, as given by M, Venizelos in his speech, follow:\nThe Resolutions\n\"By these resolutions, we, the people, advise the monarch that he has\nfallen a victim of evil advisers, who\nseek to nullify the results of the revolution of 1909 and achieve a return to\nthe former state of misgovern ment,\nwhile satisfying personal hatred of M.\nVenizelos; that the sovereign hns fallen victim to advisers of purely military and oligarchical ideas, who have\npersuaded him that Germany must be\nvictorious, and trading upon the king's\nadmiration for the Germans, whoso'\nvictory he believed in and desired,\nhoped by Germany's victory to be enabled to sot aside the free constitu\ntion of Greece and concentrate abso\nlute power in royal hands.\n\"As a result of these warped ideas\nwe see today instead of extension of\nthe territory of Greece to Asia Minor,\nThrace and Cyprus, that Macedonia is\ninvaded by the Bulgarians, that tens\nof thousands of dollars' worth of military supplies have been surrendered\nto the invaders and that northern\nEpirus is in danger of being peman\nontlyUost.\nDemands   Are   Made\n\"Wc, the people, by this demonstration, declare that we do not approve\nthe course recently followed and insist on dismissal from around the\nking's person of the present sinister\nadvisers. The introduction of the\nking's name Into the electoral contest constitutes an internal revolution\nagainst the Liberal party. National\nunity has been destroyed by thrusting\nthe royal prestige into politics. The\nZaimis ministry Is necessary today,\nand the Liberals are prepared to give\nit all support to enable it to be a permanent instead of a mere interim cabinet and to assure to tho entente tho\nmost benevolent neutrality conceivable.\"\nThe resolutions conclude' with the\naslateinent that unless the people are\nbeard they must take counsel tis to\nother action.\nVOCATIONAL CLASSES\nGovernment    Cooperates ' with Commission   in   Providing  Technical\nTraining for Wounded\nSoldiers.\nAssurance lias been received by the\nProvincial Returned Soldiers' commission at Victoria uf the active cooperation of tiio provincial government in a\nplan to provide vocational training lor\nsoldiers who are unable to return to\ntheir previous occupations owing lo\ndisablement Incurred on active service.\nTechnical schools, agricultural colleges and other public Institutions\nhave agreed to receive disabled soldiers for training and many offers\nhave also been received from private\ncommercial establishments to provide\ntraining and subsequent employment\nwhen the men have become proficient\nThe committee of the privy council\nhas had before it a report from Sir\nJames Lougheed, president of tlie\n.Military Hospiials commission, stating\nthat the commission, acting under order in council No. 2412, dated Oct; VI,\n1!)15, has given a large amount j-bljmme\nand consideration to the (|uestioii' of\nvocational training for members of\nthe Canadian expeditionary forces and\nalso of the reservists of the forces of\nGroat Britain and the allies, who v\/ere\nbona fide residents of Canada at the\noutbreak! of the war and who will bo\nunable to return tojtheir former occupations by reason of disability incurred\nwhile   on   active   service.\nThe commission is of the opinion\nthat, as the duty of the state to provide training for some new occupation\nfor those disabled in the war has been\nrecognized by all the nations now at\nwar, the restoration of a disabled man\nto the fullest possible productive capacity Is a duty and a step of economic\nwisdom and in its study of the question the committee states that it has\nfound many evidences that the people\nof Canada are strongly in favor of\nsuitable provision being made for\ntraining to this end.1\nThe period of training will vary according to the previous education and\nindustrial experience of each individual. The cost of training will also\nvary in consequence, and also from the\nfact that in many cases the tuition\nwill be free, or the fees nominal.\nThe commission has alrcudy undertaken the provision of opportunities\nfor training in general subjects and elementary education work for all men\nunder treatment in the various convalescent hospitals and homes, operated\nby the commission, irrespective of\nwhether or not suc.li men will later become subjects for vocational training\nleading to a new occupation.

This is not substantial\nenough to carry sufficient air to move\nthe accumulation of gas which has\nbeen reported to exist therein for some\nconsiderable period, although In small\namounts. Every witness today agreed\nthis was improper and that better results would have been obtained had\ntlie advance along the stopebeen discontinued until the first of these crosscuts was connected with the counter\nstope and a permanent air course thus\nestablished.\nThere was, however, no suggestion\nthat the explosion originated in this\nlocality nor would one of the officials\nexamined today attempt to designate\nwhere the point of ignition was, although a district In the west workings\nshows indications of terrific heat, uhe\nfine coal on the floor, sides and roof\nbeing coked.\nFire Boss Hayes who came off shift\nat 11 o'clock, half an hour before the\nexplosion, graphically described phenomena accompanying tbe storm on\ntiie night of tlie explosion. He said\nthat while in the hoist house with Fire\nBoss Phillips, who was killed shortly\nafter, a flash and the apparent impact\nof something against tlie hoist suggested to tihem that someone bad fired\na rifle at them. They later decided it\nwas lightning. Hayes had a repetition\nof this experience while walking from\nthe mine to the wash house and later\nnoticed a strong smeii of sulphur in\nthe  atmosphere.\nToday's witnesses, as those of yesterday; considered conditions in the\nmine were good. It was, however, established that the mine was gaseous.\nInquiries' regarding Mike Marmol,\nbratticeinan, killed by the explosion,\nbrought out that the place where the\npit boss had left instructions for him\nto proceed to work lhad not been Inspected for approximutely 12 hours before the time he would have reached\nthere.

What little selling drifted into the market was well enough taken\nhowever, and while the tone inclined\nto heaviness, net changes were scarcely more than nominal.\nCement's activity was again premised on the dividend which has been\nunder market discussion for some\ntime. The early tone was strong, tbe\nopening at 6S*v\u00a3 showing an overnight\ngain of % point, but It sold off quickly\nto 64M;, probably under offerings thnt\nrepresented a mixture of profit taking\nand.short selling.

Closing\nprices although unsettled, were 2% to\n3%e net higher, with September at\n$1.43% ^d December ?1.47*4.\nOats gained H *\u00b0 %\u2022 Provisions\nclosed the same as yesterday to 20c\nhigher.\nNotwithstanding that the wheat\nmarket showed considerable weakness\nat the outset, a recovery soon began\nthat developed later into an Important\ngeneral bulge in values. Reports of\nserious frost damage in Canada gave\nthe first upward impetus to prices but\nfear of a widespread railway strike\ncontinued for a while to check buyers,\nas also did the lingering effect of Rumania's declaration of war. Subse\nfluently, however, sharp gains were\nscored as a. result of cable advices\nthat even if the Dardanelles were immediately opened it would require\nmuch time for any large supply from\nRussia to be made available. Meanwhile Great Britain was snld to be\naccepting bids from America with a\ngood deal of freedom nnd there was\nannouncement of a notable falling off\nin the weekly total of the European\nVisible supply.\n\u25a0 Selling pressure hy holders nf wheat\nand by speculntive shorts Increased on\nthe upturn and led to something of a\nreaction, but at no time showed ns\ngreat force as had been generally expected before trading began. On the\nother hand, a disposition seemed to\nbe more manifest to regard the scan-\nover Rumania's entrance into the war\nas to a large degree premature.\nOats derived strength mainly from\nother cereals. Bulls, however, were\nfavored by indications that the crop\nmovement from the country wns about\nto decrease.\nHigher quotations on hogs gave an\nupward swing to provisions.

The admission by Vienna that\nAustrian troops In the Carpathians\nwere compelled to retire before an encircling 'movement by strong Rumanian forces is proof that preparedness\nhas heen the policy of the Bucharest\ngovernment.\n'\"It appears that the situation in\n\/Greece is nearing a crisis. The Bulgarian advance on Kavala has stirred\nGreek fiatrlotism ami the entry of\nRumania; to tbe war on the side of the\nentente .allies has had a marked moral\neffect oh Hellenic sentiment,\n- Greece.seems about ripe for a coup\nby the Venizelos forces. Athens may\nbefore lijmg again return to Us ancient\nrepublican form of government, not so\nmuch because the monarchic system\nhas failed ns because King Constantlne, the head of it, has proved false\nto his country.\nLIBERALS   DON'T   WANT   THESE\nSOLDIERS IN HOUSE\nThe Liberal party Is in a weak position when It seeks the votes of the\nsoldiers of British Columbia. The\nConservatives have among their candidates five soldiers on active service.\nThe Liberals have none. Four of the\nConservative candidates, Major W. W.\nFoster, Capt. Cory Wood, Capt. W. IT.\nHayward and Capt. ,1. N. Taylor are\nat the front. The fifth, Lieut. F. J,\nMackenzie, will probably leave for the\ntrenches before election day. The\nLiberals are bending their energleVtu\ndefeat every one of them.\n\u2022.Mr. Brewster himself has gone out\nof his own constituency in Victoria to\nAlberni in an attempt to defeat Capt,\nCory Wood. Afraid of defeat in Victoria, where he is also running, lie has\nhad himself nominated In a constituency where he hopes that liis chance.s,\naguinst a Conservative candidate who\nis fighting for his country in tlie\ntrenches in France, are better.\n8HOULD SUPPORT JACKSON AND\nGOVERNMENT POLICIES\nJohn R. Jackson, the Conservative\ncandidate in Greenwood riding, has\nearned tho support of the electors of\nthat constituency.

At this time\nWith so many ships under long-term\ncharters to the warring nations, the\nTJhitcd States could not look for mucli\nrelief In this direction, unless some\ndrastic measures providing for the\nforcible seizure of shipping were pam-\ned by congress. Even this would not\ngo far to relieve the situation as the\nUnited States could not touch foreign\nvessels and food supplies in any event\ncould not get far beyond the seaboard.\nIf,the strike: occurs and Is prolonged\nAmerican people are not going to\nstarve but Jn some centres they will\nhave to exercise considerable ingenuity\nto secure foodstuffs. <,\nWHICH DO YOU WANT, MR.

But nothing lias been\nlost by these courtesies, as they enabled the government to meet criticism and charges on the spot,\nMr. Bowser lias one greut advantage\nin this campaign. No one can say to\nnim that his platform is merely for\nelectiuii purposes, and will never go\nInto effect. The Bowser program is\nno mere promi.se. It has gone into effect. The platform is not one of those\nillusive, cnangeuule, and repudiated\ndeliverances, such as Mr. Brewster has\nueen issuing and forgetting. The\nBowser platform is in the statute book\nof tiie province. Never in Canadian\npolitical history were political promises fulfilled so completely and so\nsoon. Wherefore Mr. Bowser is not\nobliged to explain what he means to\nuu so much as what he hus done.

For some years be has been\nthe chief of the Independence party in\nhis native land, but recent reports\nstate that he has resigned the presidency of that organization and has\nlaunched a new party of even more\nradical tendencies. The main plank in\nthe platform of the new Karolyi faction is1 said to be an early peace \/between Hungary and il\u00ab enemies, regardless of the consent of the Austrian\nand German governments. He is said\nto have a large following In the Hungarian parliament. Count Karolyi\nmade a tour of this continent shortly\nbefore the outbreak of the European\nwar, and in his addresses in various\ncities he sought to enlist the aid of\npeople of Magyar descent In the interests of home rule for Hungary and a\nseparate parliament free from Ausrtlan\ndomination. Following ihe assassination\nof the Austrian heir at Sarajevo he returned imedlately to Hungary. Little\nwas heard of him until lost December\nwhen he delivered a speech in the lower house at Budapest demanding that\nthe Vienna government make peace\novertures to Russia and her allies. He\nasserted that Hungary had achieved\neverything she had desired from the\nwar, and that further prolongation of\nhostilities would only add to the suffering and miseries of the people without accomplishing anything of moment. At that time he urged thnt Hungarian nationality should be recognized\nand that Hungary be given complete\neconomic independence.

Jt is wonderful how well\nlie has protected them from the devastating effects of our preliminary bom-\n'bardment. He has stowed them awuy\niu deep dug-outs, In which no shell fire\ncan penetrate; he has dragged them\nagain into the light tu place them on\nhis parapets; and has wrought fell\nwork against our troops advancing to\ntlie assault, There is not an officer\nor soldier 1 have met emerging from\nthe thick of the fight who does not\nagree that the modern machine gun\nis the bugbear of any man against an\nenemy position. Tjhe German' machine\ngunner dies but never surrenders. He is\ncontent to. remain behind after all his\ncomrades have left in order to pour\nforth his deadly hail of bullets, and he\nnever throws up his hands.\nHow much damage a few men of this\nstamp may inflict on their foemen was\nshown in the advance,of the Gordon\nHighlanders against Mametz. Only 120\nyards separated them from a German\ntrench line. But the moment our bar-\nji'age fire ceased the Bosches trained\ntheir machine guns on the advancing\nHighlanders, and swept them with a\nterrific fire. Yet the regiment won\nthrough. It had the singular ill-ludk\nto strike one machine gun section at\nMametz, which was ready \"to turn on\nthe tup\" at the instant of our men leaving the trenches.\nA sergeant of the Manchester, in\nspeaking of tho prisoners captured,\nsaid they were \"all sorts.\" Some were\nbig fellows, but there was a fair jium-\nbe'r of middle-aged, and also some very\nyouthful soldiers. \"I brought in myself,\" he said \"two lads who did not\nlook to be more than 15. Upon my word\nI was ashamed: to. do It. But they\nwere very-nice b'o-ys and they cut the\nbuttons off their tunics and handed\nthem to us as keepsakes.\"\nColumns of space in New York city\nnewspapers were used in an account\nof the life and death of Richard F.\n(Tody) Hamilton, who won distinction\nas press agent for Barnum and Bailey's circus. He died a few days ago\nat the age of 00. Ho has been regarded\nas the first of the modern publicity\na-gents, In these days of modern publicity, some of which Is of the pitiless\nvariety, it is natural there should be\na lively interest in the manner in which\n\"Tody\" Hamilton functioned. He was\nthe inventor of tlie modern circus poster, which considerably shocked the\nconservatives when Hamilton was in\nthe heyday of his activities, but his\nanswer to the shocked was a still\ngreater shock. He had more color and\nmore thrill put in the posters.\nHe made known the wonders of the\nCardiff giant and the sacred white ele-\n'phant of Shim. As a reporter on the\n'New York Sun when a young man' he\nlearned what tlie people liked to read\nanil see. He learned how to \"put it\nover.\"\nIt has been said of him that he commanded more free space in the news*\npapers than any other press agent who\never lived. He wrote press agent stories with so much entertainment and so\nmuch news value in them that editors\nwould no! reject them on the ground\nthat they were advertising. And. he\nbrought about situations that caused\nreporters to tumble over each other\nin an effort to get the story first.\nHe once said that the greatest publicity stunt that he ever \"put over\" was\nthe protest of the freaks. There was\na department of the show made up of\na, remarkable variety of what were\ncalled freaks. The word freak was oh\njectionable to somo persons in that de\npartment, particularly to a proud little\nwoman who moulded statues out of\nbutter. Why call a woman of such ac\ncomplishments a freak?' She and\nothers protested against the name and\n\"Tody\" Hamilton encouraged them In\nthe protest. The protest reached the\nBritish public, for the circus was then\nin England. What was to be done\nabout it? An appeal was made to the\nBritish people for a more humane\nname, and finally the circus accepted\nthe suggestion of a canon of the Eng\nlish church that tho freaks be called\n\"prodigies.\"\nHamilton's publicity enterprise ex\ntended even to the death bed of P. T.\nBarnum. The noted showman had not\nlong to live and I^amllton conceived\nthe idea that a premature death notice\nin the newspapers would brace his\nchief up. He had one of the New York\ncity newspapers publish three or four\ncolumns about Barnum's death. The\naccount was well written and fully il\nlustratcd. Hamilton took a copy to\nBarn urn's bedside and showed It to\nhim. Barnum lived four days lohger.\nTo his physicians is attributed the\nopinion that he would have died soon\ner had it not been from the stimulation\nhe received from premature mortality\npublicity.\u2014Tacoma Ledger.\nthe\n\"Mrs,    Blanks'' belongs      to\ncream of society, does she not?\"\n\"Yes, but they Bay she Is lacking in\nthe milk of human kindness.\"\nGOOD   REASONS\nLiberals who denounce the provincial minister of finance because ho has\njoined the Bowser administration, may\nfind that Mr. Stewart toas a good deal\nof Liberal company in refusing support to the Brewster combination.\nWe do not know what Mr. Stewart's\nattitude toward federal politics may\nbe, but he has given sufficient reason\nfor his provincial position. He Is satisfied with Mr. Bowser's policy and\nprogram and is glad to help carry ib\nout. He respects Mr. Bowser himself\nand has confidence In him. He\nstrongly disapproves of the course\ntaken by Mr. Brewster and Mr. Mac\ndonald during the last session and\nsince its close, and believes that they\nshould not be entrusted with the control of the province. Naturally he Is\nnot attracted by the plugging operation which marked Mr. Macdonald'*\narrival into public life, and he cer-\ntalnly could not be favorably impressed with the way In which Mr. Brews\nter and Mr, Macdonald behaved dur-,\nIng the session and since in respect to\nthat crime.

The\nfollowing sentences are clipped from\nnewspapers in different states:\n\"Troops sleep on cobblestones while\ntheir train with berths is switched\naround the sidings.\" \"Company leaves\nwithout cooks.\" \"Recruits leave in civilian dress.\" \"Mustering incomplete.\"\n\"Over one hundred men rejected as result of physical examination retards\nmovement of Infantry.\" \"Regiment\nneeds physicians, ambulance men and\nstretcher bearers.\" \"Companies will\nmove as soon as equipment Is received\nfrom federal government.\"\" \"Members\nof troops refuse to take federal oath\nand delay departure.\" \"Regiment (ios\ntoo many officers and must be reorganized.\" Incompetency, inefficiency\nand mismanagement are charged\nagainst the authorities.

One of the many\nillusions still surviving in popular\nthought regarding newspapers in that\nthey experience more or less difficulty\nthe greater parr of the time in finding\nenough material with whicli to fill their\npages. As a matter of fact, the difficulty usually encountered with respect\nto material is quite the reverse of this.\nThere Is always more than enough material available. The problem is one\nof selection. Especially watchful are\ncity editors of that kind of matter\nWhich is skilfully prepared by designing persons to serve some ulterior purpose. Sometimes It is so skilfully prepared that, regardless of the selfish\npurpose it is intended to observe\u2014pro-\nHdort that it is not actually harmful,\nmorally or otherwise\u2014the artistic sense\nof the most vigilant and punctilious\ncity editor is touched, and be allows it\nto \"go through,\"\nTime was when almost any fair to\nmiddling press agent could tfet almost\nany fair to middling \"story\" Into the\nnews columns. It needed only to be\nreadable and it passed. In recent years,\nsay in the past 25 years, the standards\nhave been ascending constantly, until\ntoday tbe \"story\" intended by the press\nagent to compete with current news\nfor prominent position In a big newspaper must be planned and written\nvery cleverly indeed. Richard F. Hamilton, newspaper reporter, son and\ngrandson of men who in their time had\nbeen newspaper reporters, upon whose\ncareer there is considerable comment\nat present, became press agent for the\nBarnum & Bailey circus about tlie time\ncity editors were be ning to steel\ntheir hearts against free advertising\nreading matter of nil kinds. The circus press agent could no longer expect to get satisfactory results from a\npad of complimentary tickets and a\nstereotyped prepared notice of ihe\n\"show.\" More than likely the latter\nwould be consigned to the waste basket. If the press agent was not content with what one of the reporters\nhad written about the coming of his\nattraction, be was expected to prepare\nsomething himself, and if the notice\nbe prepared rend more like an advertisement than a news article, that also\nwould probably be consigned to the\nwaste basket. In fact, the city editor\nwas becoming very particular. Later,\nupon advice and instruction from his\nsuperiors, he became still more particular. No free notices could \"slip\" by\nnt all, if in any way they bore the\nstamp nf free notices. They must have\nintrinsic merit. They must contain\nenough of the artistic to carry them\npast all office rules. Nothing short of\ngenius could circumvent the copy\nreader.\nThese were the conditions that confronted Richard F. Hamilton, who later\ncame to- be known in the principal\nnewsrooms of the country, for some\nmysterious reason, as \"Tody\" Hamilton, when he entered upon bis task of\neducating the public thought of the\nUnited States up to the point of believing that Barnum & Bailey's circus was,\n'without any question, the \"greatest\n\u2022show on earth.\" The newspapers and\ntheir city editors did not intend, if they\n,knew it, to allow him to carry on his\neducational work at their expense, and\n\"Tody\" Hamilton did not know any\nother way of doing it than through tbe\nmedium of tbe free notice in the newspapers. Thus it became a contest between watchful and conservative\n.journalism and wakeful and tireless invention, and this contest went on for\nyears.\nIt was one-sided from the start, although the city editors and their\nnewspapers were loath to admit it.\n\"Tody\" Hamilton brought in his \"stuff,\"\nplaced it in front of the city editor and\nbegan to talk fishing, or golf, or baseball. Next day bis \"stuff\" appeared.\nIt seemed irresistible. It had to appear. The city editor, bis first and\nsecond assistant, tbe head of the copy\ndesk and hi.s assistants, the make-up\neditor and the managing editor were\nnil conscious that It was, beneath the\nsurface, a barefaced \"puff\" for Barnum\n& Bailey, and received it or passed it\nunder protest; but all bad to admit\nthat common justice to their readers\ncompelled its appearance. In time it\nbecame the custom to regard \"Tody\"\nHamilton's copy as preferred and even\nas \"must\" copy. If \"Tody\" Hamilton\nhappened to be detained for any reason reporters were sent out to find\nhim.\nNine years ago he retired from active\nduties  as  press agent  for Barnum &\nBailey, and instead of marking the\nchange by giving a complimentary\ndinner to the newspaper men who had\naccepted his copy long enough to make\nhim famous and rich, he allowed them\nto give a dinner to him. At that dinner, among other things he said:\n\"In my long, useful, truthful, faithful, funny and fashionable career\nas a circus press agent, I have no\nvain regrets and remorse to keep n1e\nawake nights. 1 can lie down with the.\nconscience of a man who has done,his,'\nduty. I have grabbed more space for\nnothing than any other mnn you know.\nTherefore, you are. as representative\nnewspaper men and future publishers.'\njustified in gathering hern tonight to\nentertain me with a bountiful repasT\nin celebration of my retirement from\nbusiness,\"\nIt iscomputed thnt if the free notices\n\"Tody\" Hamilton succeeded in rtpu&\nting through\" for Barnum & Bailey's\ncircus were cut out of the newspaper.s\nand pasted end to end they would go,\nfar toward girdling the globe. Tli'tV'\nfact that he was a scholar, a wit, a\ngood story-teller, above all, a tip-top\nnewspaper man. accounted for it. Ho'\ninduced millions to visit \"the greatest,\nsiiow nn earth,\" but it is said of .him,\nwith great positiveness, that he never\nwitnessed the spectacle himself, because he did not carq to have his \u25a0con-'-,\neeption of it as a whole blurred by ton\nclose contact with the details.\u2014Christina Science Monitor. \u2022**\"'\nANTI-WAR   PAMPHLET.-     U\nAMSTERDAM, Holland\u2014The Tele-\ngraaf has published particulars of a\nVery outspoken anti-war pamphlet\nwhich, it learns, has been circulated in\nGermany, ft Is entitled \"People of\nGermany, Awake!\" An open letter tn\nGerman citizens and workers,\" and tbe\nauthor is Dr. Hermann Ruescmeier,\nwho slates that be was political editor\nof the Berliner Morgcnpost until September, BIN, when he quarreled with\nHerr Rudolf Cuno, the chief editor,\nwho declared thnt. \"unyone who does\nnot help to deceive tbe people is a\nrascal.\"\nTbe author further states that both\nHerr Cuno and Herr Georg Bernhard,\nmanager of the Vnssisehe Zeitung, explicitly admitted that Ccrmany provoked the war in order to gain tlie\nhegemony of Europe.

Thompson, director of the bureau of advertising of\ntbe American Newspaper Publishers'\nassociation.   He said:\n\"The daily newspaper is supreme ns\na local advertising medium. The general advertiser lias made it supreme\nalso as a national medium, because he\nrealizes that a national campaign is\nsimply a number of local campaigns\nadded together.\n\"fn 1015 advertising in the newspapers totaled the enormous sum of\n$300,000,000.\n\"Of this amount, upwards of ?3.\".,000,-\n000 came from general advertisers.\n\"In the first quarter of 191G newspaper advertising, the dailies will carry\na total of fully $7.r>,000.000 in national\nadvertising alone for the year.\n\"It is of interest to look into the\nreasons back of this huge sum spent\nIn general newspaper advertising.\nMost of them are matters of the earliest record; some are of more recent\ndevelopment.\n\"In the first place, the newspaper is\na fixed daily habit in the lives of men,\nwomen and children. It is read every\nday by every purchaser of everything\neverywhere: It is read by tbe consumer who buys tbe article and by the\ndealer who sells it. and. like tbe weather, it is universal. Tn every city\ntown or hamlet if is a local institution,\nknown in every home and carrying\nwith it the atmosphere of the community. It is the one daily means offered\nto the individual of laying his finger\n. upon the pulse of the world, and coming as a well known messenger, it personalizes  the events  of 'the  day.\n\"This universality of the newspaper\nIs the first thing that attracts the national advertiser. He knows that he\ncan' buy newspnper circulation in exact\nquantities. He can cover one city or\n100; one section, or a continent. His\nadvertising represents the minimum of\nwaste. He goes where tbe going is\ngood and skips the places where be\ncannot do business.\n\"The dealer knows that newspaper-\nadvertised goods will not grow dusty\non the shelves.\n\"The newspapers of this country and\nCanada are doing much to stimulate\nand to crystallize this interest on the\npart ot the retailer in goods advertised\nin the newspapers.\n\"In nearly every city newspaper men\nhave impressed In some way upon\nstorekeepers the fact that general\nnewspaper advertisers are sending customers, direct to the retail counter, and\nthat It Is In line with the dealers' profit\nto handle and to push newspaper-ad\nvertised goods as a class.\n\"General newspaper advertising,\nwhile, still making up the smaller per\nrentage of the average newspoper's\n\"revenue, Is becoming each day a more\nimportant   item   on     the    publisher's\nbooks.\nNewspapers   Giving   Closer   Attention\n\"Newspapers are giving closer attention to the problems of the national\nidvertiser. They are compiling facts\nabnut merchandising conditions in their\ncommunities which give tbe manufacturer an accurate business map for liis\ncampaign. In a word, they are doing\ntheir part to make newspaper ndver-.\nUsing an exact business Instrument.\n\"We newspaper advocates are enthusiasts and we hnve reason to be enthusiastic, A thrill of just, pride goes\nwith the knowledge that tbe medium\nwe represent is tbe greatest social,\npolitical and commercial force in the\nworld. Most of us live and die in the\nbusiness, not because the financial rewards are colossal, .hut because other\nmusic is tame, tuneless stuff to ears,\nthat know the hum of the high-speed\npresses. And while we are strongly'\npartisan in advocating our medium, we\ndo not lose sight of the real merits and\nthe real values offered by our mmpetU\ntor.<*. We are cognizant of advertising ideas and purposes that do not\nscpiare with our own; some nf them we\nrespect and of the rest we strive to be\n.nlerant. Rut our message to tne national advertiser, based upon simple\nfact, is this:\n\"If your purpose in advertising is to\nget your goods to the consumer quickly and profitably; the daily newspaper\noffers the ideal route.\"\u2014Fourth Estate.\nBRITAIN  MODIFIES RULE THAT\nHELD   UP   MISSIONARIES\nWASHINGTON. \u2014 An amendment\nhas been made by the British government to the rule affecting missionaries from the United States to British India.

As originally applying, and\nas it applies now to those who have\nnot already arranged to sail during\nthis or next month, it required application about three months In advance\nof sailing so that the applications\ncould be forwarded to the British foreign office nnd to the Indian government before, being passed upon.\nName, age, birthplace, citizenship,\netc., must be given in the application\nand tbe name of the society under\nwhich the applicant proposes to go\nout.

Wales\nto carry on tliejr, business at a fair\nprofit .to themselves, and we strongly\nprotest against the- conduct of Mr.\nHarcourt in making the concession before hearing the representatives of this\nfederation. We feel sure that claims of\na similar character will bo submitted\nby the coal owners In Other districts,\nand It appears to this executive that\nit is merely another way to enable the\ncoal owners further to profit by the\nhome consumers of coal, and we wish\nto empliusi\/.e tbe fact that any such\nadditional burden will fall most heavily\nupon tbe poorest memhers of the working classes in all the great industrial\ncentres.\nInasmuch as this matter affects other\nworkpeople more than the miners\nthemselves, we consider the question\nshould be vigorously taken up by organized labor as a. whole, and we desire\nto express our willingness to cooperate\nin any movement that may be necessary to secure the revocation of this\nlatest concession to the coal owner.\nIn the mealtime, we,,conslder that the\nquestion is of sufficient importance to\njustify the Labor party in moving the\nadjournment of lhe house w.ifh a view\nto-securing a full investigation into the\nmatter. ,\nIn a statement at the.close of the.\nmeeting Robert Smillie, the president,\non behalf of the executive, said: At\nthe meeting with Mr. Harcourt-on behalf of the miners 1 placed before him\nsome figures with regard to prices and\nwages since the beginning of the war,\nIn South Wales we found that the selling price of coal prior to the war was\n16s. per ton; it is now 24s. an Increase of 8s. per ton. It is admitted\nthat each 5 per cent increase of wages\ncosts 4d. per ton. The Increases in\nwages have advanced the cost by 3s.\n8d. per ton, leaving a balance of 4s. 4d.\nfrom which increased cost of production from other causes and increased\nprofits will be earned.\n.

A very\nnecessary thing then is mercolized wax\nwhich removes ta, redness or freckles\nquite easily. It literally peels off the.\naffected skin\u2014just a little at a time, so\nthere's no hurt or Injury. As the skin\ncomes off in almost invisible flaky\nparticles, no trace of the treatment is\nshown. Get an ounce of mercolized\nwax at your druggist's and use this\nnightly ras you 'would -cold -cream,\nwashing it off mornings. In a week\nor so you will have ank entirely new\nskin, beautifully clear, transparent and\nof a most delicate whiteness.\nWrinkles, so apt to form at this season, may be easily and quickly removed 'by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in witch \"haste], % pint.

The actuality of\nthe letter's Interest ln shown in the\nsignificant sentence: \"Our batteries\nare where the German trenches were a\nfew weeks ago.\"\nDivisional Ammunition Column, B. E.\nF.\nThe last letter I wrote you was by\ncandle light on a soap box, so it wasn't\nlong. Life down here 1b pretty slack\nuntil we have to rush ammunition up\nor fill up the shell holes on roads.\nThis Is liable to be exciting and is\nimpossible to- do by day, as the roads\nare registered by the Germans and\npeppered all day, and sometimes a. bit\nof the night. We just dump the stone\nand the engineers fill up the holes. I\nwish I. had taken out gum boots now\u2014\na little rain here and the horses are\nup to their knees in mud. When a big\nstraf is on, the muddy cross-country\ntracks are congested with A. S. C.\nwagons, infrantry transports, and the\nwagons of their batteries stuck up to\ntheir axles'-in mud.\nWe are pushing the Germans back all\nalong this front so fast that our guns\nare often coming into action ,In the\nopen. This is why there are so many\ngunner casualites. We are situated in\nan extraordinary valley here with high\nhills on each side. I went up to the\ntop last night and got a wonderful\nview. On the right I could hear the\nbig French guns straffing. The wind\nwas away from me, so1*1! couldn't really\nhear much, but shrapnel bursting high\nup with a bright flash was visible all\nover the front** away on the left the\nsky was lit up like a continual flash\nof sheet lightning so incessant was the\nartillery fire.\nWe have got a complete ascendancy\nof the Germans in the air, our aeroplanes are buzzing all over the place\nand never a Hun to be seen. Our gas\nbags are hung up by tens alt along the\nline. The Huns put one up gingerly\nevery now and then, but it soon comes\ndown. Our batteries are now where\nthe German trenches were a few weeks\nago. No dugouts or funk holes when\nyou're on the move, I dare say you\nread ln the papers that at a certain\nportion of the front where the gunners' work was so good not a strand of\nbarbed wire was left and the German\nfront line was flattened out well. I\nwent up close to the front with a draft\nof Munsters to another division. I\ncan't tell you the name or number of it.\nAt that point we were about two\nkilometers from the first line and I\ncould see Trone Wood or whatever it's\ncalled being shelled like fun by the\nGermans. A few weeks ago all the\nground we were standing in was German. Shells had bust things up a hit.\nWe talked to a sub. of one of the infantry regiments there, and he said\nthat we'd soon be through the third\nUne into the open country; I guess\nI shall come in for that all right. I\nwas about two days coming doWn, The\ntrain crawled along and It was impossible to keep those Irishmen in the carriage, specially as the train was full\nof other troops who all got out directly\nthe train stopped, I had a corporal in\ncharge of every ten men and in spite\nof that I lost six, however they turned\nup the next train at Railhead.\nAll along the line they threw away\ntheir rations to lines of kids and women\nwho yelled, Biskets! Biskets! Bully-\nBeef, Bully-Beef; the whole countryside flourish on our Tommy's rations;\na pretty girl on the line gets knocked\nover with bully-beef and biskets. (May\nI point out that this wrong spelling is\nintentional... At one place wc got to\nwe stopped for a bit and I and some\nother officers made for a hotel near\nthe station and got baskets of strawberries and rolls of butter and stoked\nup in case we should be a week reaching the front. When we got to the\nrailhead we washed in the stream and\nwatched some Tommies coming out\nof the trenches with plenty of Prussian\nGuard helmets. Also a few hundred\nprisoners, not looking too bad. It was\nnear this part of the front that tho\nPrussian battalion surrendered.\nI would ask you to send me some\nhooks, but as correspondence takes\nanout a fortnight I shall probably have\nplenty of work to do when they arrive.\nPlease remember saddle bags. T'he\nevening straf is on just now, but wo\ndon't get much noise down here. We\nlost a fc\\v men and mules the day\nbefore I came, by an anti-aircraft gun\nfiring at an observation gas bag over\nnear us; they'missed the gas bag and\ndropped into our cozy retreat, but we\n\"havo pushed them back so far now\nthat we must be out of range\u2014besides\nthe gas bag has gone. I am wandering off the point a bit. They sent\nsome guides down to us and we marched about eight miles along roads thick\nwith dust churned up by the gigantic\nmotor lorries rumbling to and fro\u2014\nit was pretty hot too. Our merry j\nIrishmen were fed up to the teeth.\nEventually we landed up at a camp.\n, Batteries hidden about near the front\nline loosed off a few rounds spasmodically every now and then, and up\nthrough the village near the camp I\npassed a lot of big Indian cavalrymen\nwith fine sleek horses waiting till we\nhave pushed through to the open country, I suppose, t handed my faithful\nIrishmen over, they weren't going to\ntheir own regiment.*1 The second In\ncommand wasn't very pleased to hear\nI'd lost six, so he offered me neither\na drink nor breakfast. You can't keep\nmen in carriages for two days, and at.\none point the train spilt up and kept\non shunting and went off quite suddenly In the dark. No officer there seemed know where the ninth division were,.\nso you see I made my first acquaintance\nwith the \"Practical Joke Department.\"\nLooking for divisions on the British\nfront is like looking for a needle In a\nhaystack. However, I wasn't for foot-\nslogging it back to the railhead so I\ngot a lorry on the way back and on,\narrival even the R. T. O. didn't seem\nto know much about the ninth. However eventuatly he introduced me to*\na Scotch Major who by a great fluke,\nbelonged to the ninth. He pushed me\non to a lorry and I collected my kit1\nand off we went, miles and miles, the:\ninside of the lorry so thick with dust\nthat you couldn't see ,jthe . opposite\nwall.\nI wns white all over by this time,\nMISERABLE FROM\nE\nFelt Wretched Until He Started\nTo Take \"Fruit-a-tives\"\n594 Champlain St., Montreal.\n: \"For two years, I was a miserable\nsufferer from Rheumatism and Stomach\nTrouble.

Here\ntwo gunner officers informed me that\nheadquarters had just been advanced\nfour miles. However, he lent me a\nwagon and a few mules and I trekked\nabout three miles by road and one\nacross country and arrived where I am\nnow. This is a sort of a kind of ammunition column. There are about\nfour sections and we supply about four\nbattalions each; as far as I can make\nout ordinarily the wagon lines supply\nthe batts. from a dump of ammunition,\nbut In the straffs we take it right up to\nthe batt. positions ourselves.

The French loft\nwing, which was in contact witli the\nBritish army, held to the north bank\nof the Homme, and, .ih wns fitting, it\nwas composed of tbe famous Twentieth\ncorps\u2014tbe French Tenth Lesion. To\nthn Twentieth corps belong tbe thirty-\nninth division\u2014lhe \"Iron Division,\"\nwhich holds itself second to no infantry\nin the world. It is tlie French Ironsides' boast that they arc never elated\nby victory, since victory is (heir deserts, nor depressed by defeats, since\nthey know that no troops in the world\ncould have done more than they.\nOn this occasion there was among\n1 he veterans, who had seen nl the\nhardest fightinp- of tbe war, a certain\nsprinkling of young men who were\ncoming under fire for the first time\nand were wildly eager to show themselves worthy of their corps. Together\nthey formed the perfect combination\nof reckless dash and matured experience. As the Iron Division marched\ndown, with their disciplined, springy\nswing that marks troops chosen from\namong the chosen, from the wooded\nbills north of the Somme to take up\ntheir position in the advanced lines\nready for the assault, not a few Of\nthorn  looked   out  across   tbe  marshes\nGEM\nTODAY\nThe eminent actor, Burr Mcintosh in\n\"MY   PARTNER.\"\nA story of self-denial and\nfriendship rivaling that of Damon and Pythias.\n\"THE TWIN TRUNK MYSTERY\"\nOne Reel Comedy.\nFriday and Saturday\n\"THE     BECKONING    FLAME\"\nA Triangle drama with a real\nJapanese actress as leading lady.\nf^tJSTME ARK\nPrinted Linoleum, yard 68c\nFlannelette, 34-in., yard t6c\nGirls' Hair Ribbon, yard f5C\nBoys' Khaki Suits, each 95c\nGirls' and Boys' Hats, each,.,.20c\nLadies' Lisle Hose, pair 2Sc\nSpectacles, pair SlaOO\nNew   and   Second-hand   Furniture\nCheapest in the City.\n8IGN OF THE RED ROCKER.\nPhone 6SL. 606 Vernon 8b\nFINE\nSELECTION\nCut Glass and Silver\nfor\nWEDDING   PRESENTS\nat\nMEDIUM  AND  LOW  PRICES\nWe aro specializing in tills line\nand can positively say we are carrying an extra large stock of low\npriced Cut Glass and Silver of the\nfinest quality.

The opposing lines\nreached the Somme at a small hamlet\ncalled tbe Moulin do Fargny, about\nhalfway between Vaux and Curlu. The\nfirst position the French had to carry\nwas a steep cliff known as the \"Gendarme's Hat.\" The French guns had\nstripped the \"Gendarme's Hat\" of the\nlittle vegetation that it once possessed\nand had worked havoc among the German defenses. The Hon Division made\nshort work of the defenses that remained. They swarmed up the steep\nhillside and across what was left of\nthe triple line of trendies with acrobatic rapidity, while their comrades\nswept round from the less precipitous\nbills above and met lliom on the crest.\nIn half an hour tlie aeroplanes announced that tbe whole of the \"Gendarme's Hat\" was taken, and tbe\nwatchers behind could see the young\nsoldiers of the Iron Division cheering\nthemselves hoarse and waving their\nhandkerchiefs on the trenches they had\nso brilliantly carried.\nBy 5 p.m. they had readied Curlu,\nbut in the village itself on the higher\nground round the church they met with\na desperato resistance. The French artillery had demolished all tbe complicated defense works in lhe village itself, but a portion of the very powerful\nunderground fortress constructed by\ntbe enemy In the vaults ot tbe church\nbad escaped destruction, and one or\ntwo maxims remained uninjured. In\naccordance with their orders the French\ninfantry halted and sent back word to\nthe artillery behind. At C o'cluck the\nfire of every gun available was concentrated on tbe -church of Curlu. in half\nan hour all was over. All the German\ndefenses had been utterly .shattered.\nThe French infantry swept forward relentlessly, and by 0 o'clock the whole\nvillage wus in their bauds. The Jrou\nDivision had reached tbe objective of\nthe first day's attack.\nFrom July 2 to July -1 the troops were\nengaged in organizing tlie conquered\nground, a work of tremendous difficulty and labor. On the 5th they were\nready to continue their advance, and at\n7 in the morning the assault was resumed in tlie direction of tlie village of\nHem, on the river bank. By noon Hem\nwas in French bands. The next two\ndays were devoted to organization.\nThe British had decided to attack on\nthe 8th the Bois des Trones (or Bois\ndes Tronne, as it Is sometimes called,\nwhich, as it enfiladed certain positions,\nwas causing considerable trouble, and\nthe general commanding the French\nleft supported this attack by advancing\nin the direction of Hardecourt. The\nFrenoh attadc began at 7 a. m. and by\n11 o'clock they had captured Uie village\nuf Hardecourt. It would be difficult\nto find a better example of the perfect\nunity of the allies. At 1 p. m. the\nBritish infantry returned to ibe, charge\nand burled the enemy out of two thirds\nof the contested wood. French officers\naro unsparing in their praise of the\nsplendid dash with whicli this difficult\noperation was carried out and tho incomparable steadiness and endurance\nof tbe British troops.\nTbe best man noticed that one of the\nwedding guests, a gloomy looking\nyoung man, did not seem to be enjoying himself.

Tho note, dated June 18,\nwas sent in the ordinary way from the\nAmerican embassy, Berlin, to the embassy, London, and forwarded to Sir\nEdward Grey.\nSir:\u2014The reports of Dr. Taylor, our\nfood expert, already sent to you give\nIn detail conditions of the food supply\nin Ruhleben. I regret to state that\npractically no improvement ln tbe\nbousing of the prisoners has been\nmade. The barracks at Ruhleben are\novercrowded. The imperial authorities, after nearly two years of war,\nhave certainly lind ample time to provide accomodation for the prisoners.\nIt is intolerable that people of education should be herded six together in\na horse's stall, and in some of the lofts\ntho bunks touch one another. The\nlight for reading is bad, and reading\nIs a necessity, if these poor prisoners\nare to he detained during another winter.\nIn tho haylofts above the stables,\nconditions are even worse. For cx-\nnmple, In Barrack No. 2 one half section of the loft is, at the centre about\n10 feet from the floor, from the highest\npoint, and the loft slopes downwards,\nso that at the sidos it is only V\/2 feet\nabove the floor; tho floor of this part\nof the loft is about 10 meters 20 by 12\nmeters 80. The beds are so close together that they touch. In 'this confined space C4 men live. After pointing out that the light from the littlo\nwindow is totally Inadequate, the note\ncontinues:\nTho heating system should be improved and provision made for the drying of clothes by radiators or a drying\nroom in each barrack; the prisoners\nore obliged to answer roll calls outside,\noften In the rain, and iKtve no means\nof drying tb'elr.soaked garments. Many\nthings, such as soap, usually issued to\nprisoners, even in jail, I am informed,\nhave never been given to the prisoners\nIn Ruhleben. Various authorities from\ntime to time have promised that the\nhousing would be bettered. The present conditions should no longer prevail; during another winter they will\nbe impossible.\nThe campaign authorities who, I am\nSatisfied, do all in their power to better\nconditions, have no authority to make\nthese needed Improvements, but the\nconditions I describe must bo evident\nto any inspector acting on behalf of\nsuch authorities as mayvbe above the\ncamp  comander.\nI have, etc.\n(Signed, JAMES W.
