It\nis only In the west, he stated, where\nthe significance of the move can be\nreally appreciated.\nReferring to the effect which free\nwheat would hove, Mr. MoKenzIo re\nmarked:\n\"It will greatly stimulate nil lines of\nbusiness throughout the west, because\ntho wealth of tbe weest Is taken out of\nthe lands. Farmers will be inspired\nwith confidence, and it will encourage\nthem to Increase production of wheat\nas much as possible. It means a great\ndeal for the farmers, and us a consequence to free wheat sample markets\nare bound to come. We favor the es\ntablishment of a sample market at\nWinnipeg. Of course, we have still got\nto press for free access to the United\nStates markets for oats, barley, flax,\npotatoes and so forth. Our principal\nobject is achieved, but wo have still\nsome demands which we must contlnuo\nto press upon the government.\nMeans Much for Future.\n\"The decision of the government Is\nnot going to make much difference to\nthe western farmers immediately, ns\npractically all of the 1916 crop is out\nof their hands.

It was drawn especially to Ihe attention of the Laurler\ngovernment in 1910, when a largr- delegation went to Ottawa. As a result of\nthat delegation's visit the Laurler government negotiated the reciprocity\ntreaty which Included free wheat. Since\nthat time we have continually pressed\nfor it. All farmers' organizations in\nthe west have used every means in\ntheir power to influence the government lo give us better facilities for\nhandling dur wheat crop, and we asked\nfor free entry into the United State\nThe Dominion millers sent a delegation\nimmediately we left Ottawa opposing\nour claims.\n\"I marvel Unit the government refused to grant our request so long, as\ntho granting or it will not affect tin*\nrevenue lo any great degree.

The vote occurred on\nthe amendments offered to Hon.

In thia connection\nthe first sea lord asserted that the\nbest hunting ground for raiders is on\nthis side of the water, as the possibility of German submarines operating on\nthe American coast la almost negligible\nunless they have a base on thnt side.\n\"1 have no desire to minimize to tho\nAmerican people,\" said the admiral,\n\"the serious situation prevailing as a\nresult of the Illegal use of submarines\nby the Germans. Neither is it easy for\nus to take them into our confidence\nand tell them what we are doing to\ncope with the evil without providing\nthe Germans with useful Information.\n\"No method existed In the past for\nfighting tho submarine and the new\nInventions and proe-ays***-* for that purpose take time to develop. Wc are\ngiving your navy all the Information in\nour possession, and knowing its record, we havo great confidence that\nAmerican Inventive genius will supplement It.\nMust Save Tonnage.\n\"As far as the feeding of tho allied\npopulation Is concerned, our efforts\nmust bo concentrated on having ton\nnage while bringing in the necessary\ncargoes, lu order to minimize the effect of the submarine warfare. As\nyou probably know, we, have bought\nlarge quantities of wheat in Australia\nbut as the round voyage is four times\nas long us that to the United States,\nthe bringing of this wheat means four\ntimes as much tonnage aa the carrying of American wheat to the allied\npowers. We therefore require all the\nwheat wc can obtain from the United\nStates and Canada.\n'Our food situation is by no means\nas desperate as the Germans want tr\nbelieve it to bo, but on the other hand.\nit is more tjgrlous than many of our\nown people realize. Our own shipping\nsuffered very little more in March than\nduring tho first month of unrestricted\nsubmarine warfare und other tonnage\nsunk dining that period was in much\ntho same position.\n\"There Is no very marked method of\ncombatting the evil. What has been\naccomplished is the result of Inventions nnd processes which take timo to\ndevelop and tho government Is well\naware of the fact that immediate results could not bo expected.\nSmall Craft the Best Protection.\n\"Against a submerged attack a host\nof .small craft forms the best protection. We can use everything from destroyers to lugs of any size. Tho danger of showing a periscopo when the\nsubmarine may have a bomb dropped\non it, or bo rammed, is one which\nour enemy docs not like to face. But\nthese craft must be used in the zone\nwhere submarines operate and such a\nzone is hnrdly likely to bo extended to\nthe American coast. German submarines cannot operate over there effectively without a baso and I am sure\nthut your navy will have no trouble in\npatrolling tho Mexican gulf coast on\nwhich a base might be established,\nwhile the entrance of Cuba into the\nwar on the side of the allies deprives\nthe Germans of the best place they\nmight hnve secured for such bases.\"\nFRONT OF ABOUT 25 MILES\nST.

People living in a city rarely\nknow what it Is to be without uny ono\nof theso. or can Imagine conditions\nwhere you cannot go down to a store\nand order what you want. It may be\nInteresting to consider how some of\nthese necessaries are supplemented in\nregions away from the usual path of\nsupplies.\nLet us take the matter of fuel and\nthe substitutes for coat or forest wood\nIn regions where theso cannot be obtained. In some areas, marsh inosKes,\nby successive growths and decay\nforming \"peat,\" are dug up,, dried and\nburnt, as in some of the bugs and\npioors uf Great Britain and Ireland:\nThis peat makes a slow, flameless 1ml\nfairly hot fire. In this connection, we\nknow that peat from peat mosses Is\nthe original or first condition of coal\nand the remote ancestor of the coal\nwe burn.\nIt was tho primeval peat swamps,\nWith their gigantic tree-like mosses of\nthe carboniferous or great coal making\nperiod of the earth's history, that\nwhen covered over by sediments and\nburied under the weight of inlle thicknesses of rock, by compression, time\nand concentration of the element\ncarbon gave us the substance we burn\nand call coal. For peat is modern coal\nand coal is ancient peat.\nEvolution of Coal\nThe evolution of coal Is, first a\ntropical swamp, like the Everglades of\nFlorida, overgrown by mosses and\naquatic plants growing on their decaying selves ln successive layers, tilt\nunder pressure of great thickness the\nlowest Inyer Is compressed Into the\nbrownish black substance we call peat.\nBury this under tons and tons of rock\nforming sediment and the pent gradually changes into nn inferior kind of\nconl, called lignite. With grenter accumulation of rock, witli time, compression and a certain amount of subterranean heat, producing certain\nchemical changes, the brown lignite\nchanges into a better coal called llg-\nnltic-bltumlnous, or black lignite, and\nunder the same Influences Its next\nstage Is to a first class full bituminous coal which may also yield coke.\nIntroduce heat Into the coal seam or\ninto adjacent strata by intrusion of a\ntongue or body of molten rock, nnd\nthe coal by the driving, out of Its\nwater and certain impurities, and tho\nconcentration of its fixed carbon, becomes' anthracite. Add a little more\nheat from tho same sources or from\nthe closer contact of the Igneous rock\nand we have graphite, or the so-called\n\"lead\" wo use In lend pencils, which Is\nnearly pure carbon, and, curiously\nenough, will not burn any more than\na diamond, which Is absolutely pure\ncarbon. Such is the general history\nand evolution of the substance we call\nconl.\nSubstitute* for Coal\nPeat Is sometimes used by the\npoorer population where peat bogs\nexist and where neither wood nor coal\nare to be had. Along the sea coasts,\nnear shore und exposed at low tide,\nthe rooks are covered with n luxuriant\ngiowth of seaweed, known as \"kelp\"\nand by tlio French fishermen as\n\"vrack.'V Quantities of this, torn off\nby waves or storms and thrown ln\nwind rows on the shore, Is collected\nby the coast dwellers to spread on tho\nfields as a manure, for which its\nunctuous, decomposable character and\nthe potash it contains well udapts it,\nA portion Is sun dried nnd used like\npeat to' make a smoldering fire. In the\nIslands of Guernsey, one of the Channel Isles, this kelp, or vrack as It Is\ncalled, Is protected by law. Whilst\nthose along the coast are allowed to\ngarner what is thrown ashore by\nstorms, they arc only permitted to cut\nor harvest the growing crop once a\nyear at a special season of exceptloo-\nally low tides. This Is a \"gala\" time\nfor the fishermen and their families,\nwho make of 11 a \"harvest home\" festival and get ready weeks before for\nthe picnics and festivities on' the\nbeach. Then, as the tide goes out, the\njdior-ja m, UucU Avith, merr>v*fttipa 0?\nmen and women, some dancing In the\nwater as the tide recedes, or following\nit up. sickle In hand, cutting the brown\nwood step by step, and ns it returns\nresting for a picnic lunch on the\nbeach. Meanwhile every animal from\na Newfoundland dog to a milch cow\nis harnessed to any kind of vehicle or\ncontraption on wheels, and the loads\nare piled up In heaps above high water\nmark lo spread out later in the sun\n.to dry. When the tide comes hack\nand Ihe rucks nre covered with water\nthe day ends with dances and merrymaking.\nA livelier or more picturesque scene\ncan hardly be imagined or a finer ono\nfor a lover of color. The sapphire\nblue sea, the rloh brown of tbe seaweed on the rbckfc'or when stacked up\nhigh on the rude wagon, lumbering\nalong wllh heavy wheels drawn by a\nyoke of oxen. In Brittany tbe oxen\nare ornamented with collars of gay\ncolored wool or sheepskin. The holiday costumes of tho fisher folk, the\nbrilliant reflections in the wet sand\nand, as Ihe French say, the \"tout\nensemble,* is a charming sight not to\nbe forgotten. Apart from the crowds\nof fishermen, the beach was covered\nwith equipages of the people of the\nneighboring town, who came ont to\nnee the scene and enjoy the tun. The\nfestival usually lasts a week or as\nlong as the tides continue low.\nOther Fuel Substitutes\nIn crossing the plains In the olden\ndays, when herds of buffalo roamed\nthe prairie, so-called \"buffalo chips\"\nwere used for fuel. In the Andes the\ndroppings of herds of lamas, nn animal\nsomewhat like a small camel, are collected and stored for the same purpose\nand have even been successfully used\nIn smelting and metallurgical processes. In another part of treeless\nSouth America, a large \"fungus,\" or\ntoadstool, which grows abundantly, is\ngathered and used for fudl. In the\narid region of Arizona and the desert\nof Southern California, cnctl, sagebrush and scrub growing along the\ndry creek courses and arryos, are\nburnt. Indians dig them up by the\nroots and sell them by cords at the\nmines and sometimes to the metallurgical plants. The scrub is composed\nof peculiar small stunted trees, called\n\"Palo Verde,\" or \"Iron wood,\" and\nbushes called mcsqultc and many curious desert forms of vegetation. They\nare said to yield a hot fire. With the\ndiscoveries of the great fuel oft fields\nof California and transportation facilities, the fuel question for mines and\nmetallurgical plants has been settled\nIn the desert zone, and supplanted\nmuch of the fuel-brush Industry. In\nthe Arctic regions, whilst the \"tundra,\"\nor heavy peat mosses, such as are\nfound ln Alasko, may be locally used\nas fuel, oil from the blubber of marine\nanimals appears to be the principal\nfuel.\nWONDERFUL GROWTH\nOF FLYING SERVICE\nWhen the history of the present wnr\ncomes tu hu written in detail, says a\nwriter in the Toronto Mail and Empire, It will be seen that one of its\nmost Interesting features, In view of\nthe Inevitable development of our\nforces to meet future contingencies of\nImperial defense, was the extraordinary and rapid development of * the\nBritish uir service In the teeth of difficulties. It Is true that In 1913 It\nhad been recognized that \u25a0< aircraft\nwould play an Important part ln the\nnext war, whenever It might qome, but\nhow soon the proof of this was to be\nafforded had not been realized by the\npowers who controlled the public\npurse. Consequently, every penny of\nthe necessary funds for setting up the\nnew service and providing' aircraft\nhad to ho contended for In parliament\nand the press and wrung from an exchequer which feared nothing so much\nus exceeding the speed limit in expenditure on preparation for war.\nUnprepared nets Again \"\nThe utilisation of alrcrutt in the\nBritish maneuvers of 1918 and the\n.concentration camp for the air service ' In June, 1914( at Netheravon,\nsoeiri fui-uff mutWrs when viewed In\nthe perspective of close on two and a\nhalf years of :*thri^gre4test y*;ar,in history, but they *flrere both sopping-\nstones in the progress of aeronautics\nas a military art. In the latter case\nthe testing In various ways of the degree of training of personnel, both on\nthe ground and in the air, the work\nand handling, of aircraft and transport\nand experiments of numerous sorts\nwere both Interesting and Instructive.\nThe study and coordination by means\nof lectures, discussions, conferences\nand specially detailed committees of\nthe innumerable problems, such as\nmobilization, technical and military training, observation, workshops,\nBtores, meteorology, wireless telegraphy, photography, bomb dropping\nand organization of all sorts, were all\nessential to the rapid building up on a\nsound basis of an efficient flying\ncorps. This expenditure of thgught and\nenergy bore fruit subsequently in the\nconduct of uffolrs under the stress of\nactive service and the rapid expansion of the corps, with the result that\nthe latter, though small as compared\nwith those of other armies taking the\nfield in the autumn of 111 14, was as\nefficient us human beings could make\nIt. During the first six months of the\ncampaign In France and Flanders,\nsays the Army and Navy Gazette, we\nwere terribly hampered by the want\nof forethought shown by the government of the day In the year preceding\nthe outbreak of the war; our non-\npreparedness was disastrous in that it\nhandicapped our fighting forces, seriously as compared with those of the\nenemy, 'not only in Franco but in Africa and Mesopotamia, but for these\nthe heads of the . royal flying . corps\nwere not responsible, as it was the\nresult of a policy imposed upon and\nnot determined by them,\nBritish v. German\nOur position as compared with the\nenemy's air forces in Flanders in\n1934 was this: They were more numerous and bad higher-powered\nengines, although Sir David Henderson had foreseen the want of the latter und endeavored to obtain them,\nand this could not be immediately\nremedied. At home we had not sufficient aerodromes and more especially\nsafe pluces for landing at night.\nThese deficiencies seriously Interfered\nwith the training of pilots, especially\nin night flying, which has since proved\nto hu the most essential and effective\npart of the system of anti-aircraft\ndefense against zeppelin raids. Our\nmain deficiency as regards the operations in Flanders and France, apart\nfrom the inadequate number of\npilots and personnel generally, was\nengines. While admitting that ln\npeace time neither the government\nnor the manufacturers could be expected to foresee the extent of the\nurgent demands for more powerful\nengines in the Immediate future, it\nis obvious that the latter were not\nimpressed by the inducements offered\nto compete for government orders.\nIn addition lo this there was the testing of machines and accessories, and\nan Immense amount of skilled work\nof the highest order had to be, and\nIs, done by the training mechonicB\u2014-\nthe great majority trained since the\noutbreak of war\u2014of the air service.\nGrowth of Service\nAll this training and a great deal\nof inspection of machines nnd parts\nhad to be carried out during the\ncourse of a campaign, in addition to\nproviding the services required by\nthe leaders on the various fronts.\nWe started the campaign ln 1914 with\n80 airplanes In the royal flying corps\nand practically no airships available\nfor any duties with the royal naval\nair service. Our establishment of\nwett under 2000 of all ranks had already risen to five figures before the\nend of 1916.\nIn the estimates of 1913-1914 we\nallowed for spending thousands of\npounds on material, whereas we now\nspend millions as a mailer of course,\nnnd still cannot keep pnee with, the\ndemands of tho campaign, though'we\nnumber our mnchlnes by thousands.\nOur small nirships and seaplanes keep\nwntch and ward along hundreds of\nmiles of coast line and over a large\narea of sea In northern and southern\nEurope, and our kite balloons and\nthose of the French make a continuous sentry line from Switzerland to\nthe English Channel.

Those were pouish, nitrates\nand dyes. Potash salts came from deposits at Stassfort In Germany. There\nare considerable deposltB of these salts\nIn California, but not sufficient for\ntho demand even for fertilizing purposes, and to the lack of potash has\nbeen attributed one of the causes of\nthe poor cotton crop of late in the\nsouthern states. Potash at present has\na more urgent use than for fertilizing,\nviz., as an Ingredient of powder, particularly tbe old black powder still\nused in shrapnels.\nThe chief American source from\nwhlqh potash is now derived also holds\nthe chemical \"acetone,\" the chief solvent In the manufacture of smokeless\npowder used by* all the participants lu\nthe war. Without an assurance of\npotash and acetone In abundance\nwithin Its own boundaries the United\nStates could 111 afford to go to war.\nScientific development, the result of\nthe necessities of war has opened up a\nlarge field of these chemicals.\nEnormous contracts for smokeless\npowder and cordite enmo from England, and the United States were asked for two million pounds of the stuff.\nTwenty-five millions dollars were at\nstake. To fill the contract the ele^\nment \"acetone\" was reuuired, especb\nally for cordite, which Is made up of\ntwo explosives, guncotton and ultra\nglycerine. The only solvent of these is\nthe pleasant smelling, etherial \"nee-\ntone.\" The contract depended on the\ndiscovery of an entirely new method\nfor making \"acetone\" from a source\nhitherto unknown and never beforo\navailable. The overseas people also\nwanted acetone for their own munf-\ntlon plants.\n\"Acetone\" was formerly made from\ndry distillation of acetate of lline.\nAnother way was from carbide. Vinegar was experimented with on a gigantic scale with only partial success.\nFinally chemists turned towards \"help\"\nor seaweed as a source uf both potash\nand \"acetone\" and this saved the day.\nThe Californian Kelp Fields\nThe great kelp fields of North\nAmerica lie along the California coast\nwithin a mile or so of land. They are\nconspicuous off Han Diego harbor and\nalong the const to Lafolla and beyond\nat various points north and south.\nUp till lately they have heen put to\nno commercial use. In other countries \"beach eombors\" gather up nnd\nglean the floating weed after the tides\nand storms and make potash from It\nas well ns using a portion for field\nmanure or for burning and in some\ncases for extracting iodine, hut at\nSan Diego there is little tide and except after severe storms the kelp Is\nseldom thrown ashore in any great\nquantity. It is necessary to go out\nnnd cut the growing weed, whose roots\nmay lie deep down in the seabed. The\nkelp must be cut, not pulled up by\nthe roots, or the fierennful crop would\nbe ruined. So after various experiments, a itolp-cutting scow was invented which did tbe work successfully and u large potash and refining\nplant has been established by the\npowder company by the side of San\nDiego harbor at a cost of more than\na million dollars. Three practical\nkelp harvesters have been installed,\neach of which* cuts about TiOO tons of\nkelp dally.\nThe result Is the inauguration of a\ngreat permanent industry in time of\npeace and an asset in time of war\nExperts consider that this hod of kelp\ncan bo relied on to supply potash to\ntho United States for many years to\ncome. Much depends upon the rapidity with which the kelp crop grows\nagain after cutting. There is enough\nln sight, It Is claimed, to keep the\nUnited States independent of any other\nnation In the manufacture of powder.\nNatural History of California Kelp.\nWe ere familiar with the great kolp\nbeds ot the California coast, having\noften rowed and sailed out to them\nand with some difficulty crossed them.\nWe have viewed them nlso from the\ntop of a high hill in the vicinity of San\nDlego and. La Joltn, commanding a fine\nview of the sea on which the belt a\nmile or so wide nnd a mile or two\nfrom the shore stretches along the\ncoast ns far as the eye can reach. It\nreminds one of the coral reef of a\nSouth sea lagoon, with calm water inside und a rough sea beyond. In the\nmagnificent sunsets of that region tho\nkotp bed appears like a zone of blood-\nred molten metal. Along the beach you\noften come across specimens of the\ngreat Sargasso weed lying in festoons\nand long strands upon the sand a hundred or moro feet long. The kelp\nconsists of a long, yellowish rope of\ntough gelntlnouB fibre attached to a\nmass of roots resembling the fingers\nof a hand grasping the muddy bottom,\nFollowing up the strand or rope whose\nlength measures the depth of the water In which the plant grows, which\nmay be from 50 to 100 feet, more or\nless, the rope ends in a float or buoy\nconsisting of a hollow ball or bladder about the size of a large cocoanut,\nwhich Is full of air and when stepped\non explodes with a report. From this\nbuoy, which .reaches to and floats\non the surface, long strands extend\nwith branching arms supported by\nnumerous small float-bladders bearing\nlong yellow leaves growing luxuriantly and reminding one of those of the\nchestnut or laurel.\nThousands of these plants with interlocking arms and leaves form a\nbeautiful submarine forest just below\nor at water level, not always easy to\nbreak through In a boat but affording\na favorite retreat not merely for the\nordinary fish of the neighboring water,\nbut for a fauna peculiarly its own, grotesque and strange-looking little fishes\nand a number of crabs nnd other crus-\ntucen so closely resembling the weed\nin the. mimicry for natural protection\nboth In cotor and form that they are\ninvisible except when moving or crawl-\ning over the surface.\nThe Sargasso Sea.\nThe great seaweed is known as the\n{Sargasso from, the tfnmcd Sargasso\nseu, where enormous, bodies of this\nweed were snld to accumulate to such\nan extent as to impede shipping which\nIf once encnlmed in it never succeeded\nin extricating themselves and were not\nheard of again, Tbe sea was supposed\nto be a general dumping place for the\nwreckage and flotsam and jotsam\nbrlc-a-brac of the ocean and to cover\nbeneath it the wrecks of Spanish galleons laden with burs uf gold and silver.

Diffl-\n. culties which might arise if men were\n^thinking ol themselves or of their particular offices, he said, did not arise In\ntfie face of n great crisis, when men\nwere bent on serving their country to\nfitlie best of their ability. The new arrangements, he believed, secured more\nrapid decisions. He thought It was nn\nadvantage that responsibility and authority should be concentrated in Che\nsame hands, and that a small cabinet\nof five men must concentrate its whole\nattention on the war and take its decisions .solely with a view to bearing\nAlkali In -Shampoos\na Bad For the Hair\nIf you want tftkdep your hair looking Its best, tie careful what you wash\nit with. Don't title prepared shampoos\nor anything el-*-;*\u2022 that contains too much\n(alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the\nhair brittle and ruins it.\nThe best thing for steady use is just\nordinary mulslficd cocoanut oil (which\nis pure and git-useless) and is better\nthan anything else you can use.\nOne or two teaspoonfuls will elennse\nthe hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply\nmoisten tho halt'-with water arid rub it\nin. It makes .in abundance of rich,\ncreamy lather, which rinses out easily\n[removing every particle of dust, dirt,\ndandruff and - excessive oil.

He did not believe the new\narrangement would do in times of\npeace, but, while there was war, power,\nhe thought, must be concentrated in a\nfew hands. He took the fact that the\ncoalition government never rejected\nthe decisions of the then wnr committee as an indication that the cabinet had even then censed to exercise\nthe functions proper to it In peace\ntimes. He alsp considered the new\narrangement was justified, in that the\nwar committee became the cabinet,\nand therefore responsibility wns clearly placed upon the shoulders of those\nwho had the real authority.\nTurning to the question of national\nservice, Mr. Chamberlain paid a warm\ntribute to his brother, the director-\ngeneral, and declared that if any man\ncould discharge successfully the tremendous responsibility imposed upon\nhim his brother was that man. If the\nwar was to be won, Mr. Chamberlain\nsaid, they must increase their exertions and dojnq-ce, find more until final\nand absolute, victory was won. He\nthought peoplo would, of their own accord, redouble their efforts, if to each\none of them could be brought home\nthe knowledge which rested with the\ngovernment, and which could not bo\nspread l^rondcast throughout the\ncountry.\nMr. Chamberlain then went on to\nspenk In appreciative terms of India,\nand the part It had played In the war\nThere was no more satisfactory feature or better testimony to British\nrule In India, he said, than the fact\nthat the peasantry and villagers of\nthe Punjab gave their assistance to\nhunt down the men who at German\ninstigation had tried to stir up\ntrouble In the Punjab. When the story\nof German activity in India, AX\ngbanlstan, Persia nnd Arabia came to\nbe written, Mr. Chamberlain declttrefl,\nIt would be an interesting one. Ho\nwould not1 disclose it at present, but\nhe coidd only say that the revelation\nof the activities of Germany in America, with whom sho was friendly, might\ngive some idea of her activities when\nfriendship was not iu question. He\nresented, ho said, not for himself, but\nfor the government nnd the people in\nIndia, the aspersions which some\ncritics were inclined to cast upon the\naction of India. No cnll had been made\nupon India that had not been honor\nably and willingly responded to.\nReferring again to the question of\nnational service, Mr. Chamberlain said\npeople had no right to ask others to\nmake sacrifices If they made no sacrifices themselves. The least the people who remained nt home could do\nwas to offer their services for national\nwork, in order to help their soldiers\nto win the war.\nTRUCK GARDEN CONTEST\nARRANGED AT ROBSON\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nROBSON, B, -C, lAprll 16.\u2014At a\nmeeting of the Robson Farmers' Institute It was decided to accept the offer\nof tho horticultural branch of the department of agriculture for a truck\ngarden contest, the prizes for which\nare $20 for first, $15 for second, $10 for\nthird.

I In\none amendment, Dr. K. t*. McDonald,\nNorth Oknnngnn, and George.

Then Hon.\nJohn Oliver upheld a point of order\nthat Mr. Cowper should have a seconder. He got a seconder and when\nthe vote was taken the second time\ntbe government majority was lined up\nagainst It and the amendment was\nkilled.\nin moving his amendment specifically to include the payments by J. W.\nStewart and Angus Stewart, Opposition Leader Bowser said he was not\nopposed to the main motion giving the\ncommittee power to examine Mr. Tate\nas to donations to the Conservative\nfund, but the resolution was not as\nbroad as it should be. It should cover\ncontributions to both parties, not to\nthe Conservatives atone. \"We nre\nanxious to have an* investigation, but\nwe don't want It jugbiindled or onesided.

M. Manson, Omlneca, who lives\nat Prince Rupert, which is the residence of Donald McLeod, objected to\nthe addition of that Pacific Great\nEastern official's name to the Inquiry\nresolution. Ho could not see it would\nserve any good purpose, a.s he\nthought the scope was wide enough\nalready. Two Stewarts were in\nPrance, and be thought an Inquiry\ninto what they might hnve paid was a\nmatter for another committee, so that\nthe Pacific Great Eastern report\nshould not be delayed.\nDr. Mcintosh said the committee\nshould make an interim report.\nPremier Brewster declared he hud\nno objection to making tbe scope as\nwide as possible, but he did not\nunderstand the reason for naming the\ntwo Stewarts or McLeod, as they were\ncovered by \"any person whatsoever.\"\nIt was necessary to get an early report. He thought Mr. Bowser's suggestion concerning contributions to\ntbe Liberal funds was practically an\nInsinuation that .1. W. Stewart was\nguilty of bribery and corruption. He\ndid not know if ho were guilty or not\nguilty. \"1 don't know anything aboul\nIt,\" said the premier, lie concluded\nby saying he had no objection to the\namendment except that there should\nbe no Imputation against Mr, Stewart.\nIt was this speech which led to the\nexpect a t ton t ha I t lie government\nmembers would agree to broaden tbe\nscope im S.SiS * * * * ,\u00bb'\u2666<\u2666 \u2666 * ********\nOVER PHILADELPHIA\nNew York Shuts Out Brooklyn\u2014Chi-\n^ cago Loses Another Game to\nSt. Louis.\n\" (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.)\nBOSTON, April 10.\u2014Barnes out-\npitched Alexander today and Boston\ndefeated Philadelphia; 3 to 1.\nBROOKLYN, April 10.\u2014New York\nshut out Brooklyn in the first game of\nthe scries here today by a score of\n6 to 0.\nCHICAGO, April 16\u2014Chicago was\nunable to do much with Meadows today and St. Louis won again, r, to 1.\nCINCINNATI, April 16.\u2014Pittsburg\nhit three Cincinnati pitohers hard here\ntoday and won easily, 8 to '.\nDETROIT, April 10.\u2014Fnber hold Detroit to two hits today and scored a\nshut out for Chicago, 4 to 0.\nPHILADELPHIA, April 16.\u2014Boston\nhad no difficulty In defeating Philadelphia today by a score of 6 lo 1,\nNational.\nR. \u25a0 H. \u25a0 E.\nfit.

Not only were the\npresident o&the republic, the president of the -senate, the premier, the\nministers and the diplomatic corps1 bf\nall the allied nations present, but\ndelegates attended of evvery phase of\npolitical'and-religious opinions and of\nthe Intellectual, economic, Industrial\nand -commercial associations of\nPrance. M. JFanl Dcschanel, president\nof the chamber of deputies, and of tbe\nnational federation of the great\nFrench associations, by whom the\nmeeting was called, took the chair\nThe arrival of the president of the\nfcpublici of the members of the gov\neminent, of the president of tho\nsenate and of the diplomatic corps\n-was marked'by the playing- of the\n'\"Marseiliaise'' by tiie Colonne-Lamou\njTeaux orchestra, the entire audience\n(Standing. M. Deschone] lu his opening speech declared that France, after\n31 months of the most terrible war,\nwas still united as on the first day\nof the hostilities. Every Frenchman\nhas but one --thought, one purpose, he\n-said, to drive the enemy out of iho\ncountry. We are touching on the most\ncrucial period of all time. This war\nIs the greatest of wars, not only\nbecause of the extent of its field of\noperations, the number of men and\npeoples involved, but because the\nmoral Inheritance of humanity ts at\nstake.\nThe stake is the morality of the\nworld. The time has come, said M.\nLavlsse, president of the organizing\ncommittee, following on Al. Dcschanel,\nfor France and her allies to make the\nsupreme effort for a victory which will\ninsure a peace In conformity to justice and right; a peace which will\nmake it impossible for Germany to\nharm her neighbors, and which will\nestablish in Europe and in the world\na regime which will prevent the recurrence of a catastrophe such ns is\nnow afflicting the entire humnn race.\nTo gain this victory we must be prepared to endure hardship, we must be\nready to accept all tbe sacrifices demanded of us.\nRepresentatives of Roman Catholic,\nProtestant, Jewish and Mohammedan\nassociation having spoken, M. Jean\nAlcard of the French Academy recited\na sonnet In honor of the sons of\nFrance fnllen in the defense of their\ncountry. The declaration made by the\nrepresentative of the Educational\nleague was followed by thnt of the\nLigue des Droits de llfomtne, delivered by M. F. Ruisson. In this wnr,\nhe said, the league defends what it has\nalways defended, territorial integrity.\nthe Inviolability of the natlonnl conscience and the independence of oppressed nations. It supports, against\nthe pretensions of one state to become\nthe master of'the world, the right of\ntiie world to have no masters. It is\nessential to the future of humanity\nthat the belief which places right at\nthe mercy of might should be conquered.\nThe League of the Rights of .Man\nIs. Opposed to alf'annexation, to nil\ndismemberment of a nation by violent\nmeans and against the will of the\ninhabitants. It has noted tbe solemn\npromises of the statesmen of the\nentente and the generous Initiative\nof the president of the great American democracy. Trusting in the en-\nlightmcnt and the energy of the peoples, It hopes that out of this\nmonstrous war will arise a society of\nnations based on the Institution of\nnn international taw protected by positive sanctions from the caprice of\nemperor nnd the whims of diplomatists.\nM. Maurice Bar res having spoken\non behalf of the league of patriots.\nMine. Jules Siegfried read the declaration of the women of Franco and M.\nAdrlen Mlthouarti that of the Paris\nmunicipality; at the close of which, In\ntbe name or all the communes of\nFrance, M. Mithouard handed a palm\nleaf to the mayor of Verdun as the rep\ntentative of Verdun, the bulwark of\nnational defense. It was several minutes before the cheering subsided sufficiently to enable the mayor to ex\npress his thanks In the name of the\ngreat fortress! A number ol other representative associations having been\nbeard, the meeting terminated with\ndeclaration made by M. Vivian! on behalf of the government. After 30\nmonths of war the resolves of France\nIs strong and unbroken, he said. We\nare still fnce to face with the enemy.\nWe must neither undervalue nor overvalue his strength. Closed In by the\nring of iron and of fire which France\nand the allies have formed, Germany\nis making ready for a desperate effort.\nWe arc ready. When a nation has\nborne without wavering a formidable\nonslaught, It neither brags nor trembles. To enable our children to live\ntree lives, and In the cause of justice,\nFrance, with her allies, stands erect\nand ready.\nSG30TTS\nEMULSION\nRELIEVES SORE, TIGHT CHESTS\none in-whlchj.i^ey flight have every\nconfide'ttce.'.'^h'efWar bad .demonstrated\nthe vital npeesafty of aircraft.

Last year\nBritish purchasers stepped in' and\nbought up the Norwegian '-catch of herrings at very high prices, probably\nnearly, four times the normal cost.\nGreat Britain, however, realized tha*\nthe Norwegian fisheries were dependent on supplies-., such as rope work,\npetroleum, petrol, etc., coming through\ntho blockade and they had this additional power that,even if they might\nnot bo able to stop supplies from neutral countries-they could paralyze the\nNorwegian i Industries by withholding\ncoal nnd OthCr commodities of British\norigin. \u25a0!\u2022'\u25a0 \u25a0 ,\nIn his exfila'naUon of his resignation to the public, Dr. Hjort does not\nexpress anVopInlon on this subject,\nbut he explains that he bad to look\nafter the fisnetmen in particular, and\nhe also states'that he is of the opinion Hint (t JieHeives acknowledgement\nin Norway (oat brent Britain; instead\nof stopping' Supplies, made tTie alternative proposal that fhe's'ifppllos would\nbe allowed t(\u00bb reach Norway, provided\ntbe fishermen in turn would sell their\nfish to British purchasers at prices\nwhich were certainly about three times\nthose obtainable in normal circumstances.

He was\naccompanied by several local guests\nrtnd\"by officers ot the company, who\nJoined him at vnrlous points through-\nnut the west. C'onthiulng his talk on\nthe general outlook lor the coming\nseason, Mr. Hall said:\n\"General business ut the coast has\nmado probably a greater revival since\nmy last visit then: than any similar\nrevival I have ever seen. There Is no\nmore of the general depression that\none noticed for two years after the\nslump, nnd retail stores are more liko\nthey were during 1911 and 1912. l\nam not referring particularly to Vancouver, but to tin- whole of British\nColumbia. In what is known aa the\nBoundary country it seems like tho\ndays o\u00a3 the\" early 'nineties, with all\nthat high rolling so prevalent in those\ndays cut out. Mines are working to\nnearly full capacity, and in consequence the smelters are running full\nblast. Nelson, Trail, Rossland and\nGrand Forks have made a come-baek\nthat is healthy, as the country is In a\nstate of economy as well as a state of\nprosperity,\n\"On the prairie the situation somewhat differs, as there is no possible\nway to gauge what the coming crop\nwill be, but. again there is that noticeable fact regarding the retail trade\nthat is seen on the coast, it being like\nformer years.

In Charlerol, the Germans\ncompelled the municipnl authorities to\nprovide the bread necessary for the occupying troops. In reply to the burgomaster's protest that this would leave\nnt least 10,000 inhabitants without the\nIkisIs on which to sustain life, he was\ntold, \"That is no concern of ours, it Is\nthe fault of the allies.\" Exactly the\nsame demands, with the same results,\noccurred at hlege, Brussels, Antwerp,\nand similar thickly populated cities.\nToday Belgium looks wistfully to the\nnutHiile world, fearful lest its meagre\nrations-\u2014a little bread and soup daily\n\u2014should be stopped, and all the horror\nof famine submerges the country from\nAntwerp to Luxemburg, for in spite\nof the fact that the relief commission\nis currying out its functions as effectively as ever\u2014left strictly alone by\nthe German government according to\ntheir guarantees\u2014supplies are running\ndangerously low.
