Whenever John Bull has done this in the past the end has not only been\nassured, but it hns been in sight. He has lost none of his courage,\nnone of his sngaeity, and none of his endurance, and to-day in every\npart of tho Empire there is a profound conviction that in spite of\nmany blunders, many delays, and many misunderstandings, we are\nmaking real progress. We are cheered by the knowledge of the fact\nthat our blunders have not been either so numerous or so serious as\nthe Northcliffe press would have us believe. Never has there been\na more signal personal triumph than that achieved by Sir Edward\nGrey on Wednesday. As a London correspondent graphically describes the occasion: \"When Sir Edward Grey rose, nine-tenths of\nthe House wns agninst him, when he sat down more thnn nine-tenths\nof the House wns with him. The subsequent debate .wns devoid of\ninterest, only a few dozen members remained in tho House, the\nmagic wand of truth had caused a mountain of difficulty to vanish.''\nIt is not necessary to dwell upon the complete rout of the Northcliffe forces, but it must have been humiliating to be told by so eminent nn authority ns Sir Edward Grey that their writers hnd bungled\nwith statistics like n schoolboy. The Foreign Secretary had no difficulty in convincing the House that the alleged feeding of Germany\nthrough Sweden, Denmark and Holland wns \"n mare's nest,\" and\nthat there wns reason to believe thnt our Ally ,Rnssin, hnd benefitted\nfar more in this way than Germany. It is too much to hope that\nwe have hoard the last of Lord Northcliffe and his \"sour grapes\"\n.*: policy, but it is a relief to know how little foundation there has been\nfor tlie statement of his press. On the various battle fronts many\noperations are being carried on, which at any other time would be\naccounted formidable. Russia continues to gain ground both on her\nnorth and south flank, while in the Caucasus she has achieved a\nvictory, the extent of which is not even yet determined. The desultory fighting in Asia Minor is not scoring anything definite. If\nwe nre not gaining, we are certainly not losing. In German East\nAfrica the campaign of the South African Union has commenced in\nearnest. Tt will take time to achieve its object, but there arc no ode-\nqunte forces to permanently dispute the advance of our soldiers.\nBefore the end of this year, whatever happens elsewhere, General\nBotha will have added another German Empire to the great Commonwealth. Interest is centred on the Western front. Reports are\nconflicting. Terrific bombardments are taking place. A fsw hundred yards of trenches here and there, notably in Flanders, have\nchanged hands. Just what the purpose of the operations is cannot\nhe stated with certainty. The fact remains that there has been no\nserious effort on either side to break through the trenches. This\nmust happen before anything decisive can be registered. The bringing up of big guns, even 17-inch guns, is only a temporary diversion. We all await the real offensive movement, and are as much in\nthe dark as ever as to when it is likely to occur, and which side will\ninitiate it. Meanwhile the grip of our Navy is unrelaxed, the blockade is being tightened, and the economic conditions of Germany are\nundoubtedly becoming more acute.\nLearning the War Game\nA GOOD deal has been said about delay in getting Canadian\ntroops to the Front. In the course of the debate in the\nHouse of Commons at Ottawa this week, General Sir Sim\nHughes stated that there wore 60,000 Canadian troops at the Front,\n60,000 tinder training in England, and about 120,000 in training\nin Canada. He assured the House that the sole reason for delay\nin sending the latter across the ocean was the difficulty of transport.\nNo doubt this is perfectly true, but there is another side to the question. It is that in the main officers who have accompanied Canadian\ntroops to England havo proved to be so incompetent that they had\nto lake their training nil over again, nnd this nccounts very largely\nfor the fact that only half the troops already sent over have been\npermitted to go to Wanders or elsewhere on the fighting line. One\nof tho most impressive and best informed writers on this subject\nis Mr. Homer Len, who, denlinp with one phase in his \"The Valour\nof Ignorance,\" strikes straight out from the shoulder, and utters a\nwarning which may well lie taken to heart 'iy our own Militia Department. In fact the decision of the Minister to establish more\nextensive training schools for officers throughout the Dominion may\nfairly be regarded as a concession to the views so widely held, and\nso admirably expressed by Mr. Lea. He says: \"In civil life a\nbutcher is not called upon to exercise the skill of nn oculist nor to\nremove the cataract from the dulled eye; barbers do not perform tho\noperation of laparotomy; nor farmers navigate sea-going vessels, nor\nstonemasons try cases at the bar, nor sailors determine the value of\nmines, nor clerks perform the functions nf civil engineers. Yet, in\ntime of war these same men, together with all other varieties of\nhumanity, go forth in the capacity nf volunteer officers, to be learned\nby the end of a few weeks in the most varied of all sciences, the\nscience of war. The most promiscuous murderer in the world is nn\nignorant military officer. Ho slaughters his men by bullets, by\ndisease, by neglect; he starves them, ho makes cowards of them and\ndeserters and criminals.\"\nOur Candidate\nAT the Annual Meeting of the Conservative Association of Victoria, held last Thursday, the Hon. A. C. Flumerfelt was\nunanimously and enthusiastically adopted as the candidate\nto fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Sir Richard McBride.\nAbout a month ago Mr. Flumerfelt was asked by the Hon. W. J.\nBowser to accept tho portfolio of Finance. At the Annual Meeting the new Minister explained and detailed the history of the\ntransaction. On receiving the offer, he at first declined, having long\nago made up his mind to take more ease after a long and strenuous\nbusiness career. But Mr. Bowser was insistent and urged what is\nnow so generally! admitted, viz.: that the Province needs at the\npresent time nn expert and experienced financier for the important\nportfolio offered to Mr. Flumerfelt, and that no more fitting incumbent could be found.\nMAKES PERSONAL SACRIFICES\nMr. Flumerfelt's long association with the Province, and the\nimportant interests which ho has established no doubt added weight\nto Mr. Bowser's apnea], and he realized that, if his special training\nfitted him to render public service at a time of stress, it was his\nduty to thrust personal considerations into the background. All\nthis was highly creditable to the new Minister. It shows that there\nwas no self-seeking about the appointment, nnd that at his time of\nlife, nnd with his strong financial position in the Province, to accept a\npoliticnl positon involved ninny sacrifices. If Mr, Flumerfelt accepted the portfolio with reluctance, it is characteristic of the man\nthnt having neeeptod it, he has thrown himself into the work of the\nDepartment with all that energy and capacity for which he is noted.\nFrom now on his political opponents know that there is a \"Richmond\" in the field, and thnt the phlegmatic business man can be a\nvery determined and doughty fighter.\nTHE LIMIT OF HIS RKSPOXSIC1L1TY\nIt is only fair to Mr. Flumerfelt that his personal statement\nin connection with his appointment should be quoted verbatim,\nespecially as it was nn official utterance. He said \"I feel that I\nshould not be charged in respect of acts or things done by any former administration, neither do I take any responsibility for them.\n.But I do say here and now, most emphatically, that from the 15th\nday of December, last, and so long as 1 continue to hold any position\nunder the administration, I am prepared to take, and do here and\nnow assume, responsibility for any act or thing done or permitted to\nbe done by the Department over which I have the honour to preside,\nand my full share of the responsibility for any act\u2014of which I have\nknowledge\u2014by the Government of which I am a member. Now let,\nme emphasize this. Any act of the Government of which I have\nknowledge, and for the conduct of any department with which I am\nconnected, I take the fullest, most complete and most absolute responsibility. This clearly defines the position of the Minister, and\nwith equal clearness differentiates him from tho mere party nominee\nwho is prepared to say ditto to anything that his party may have\ndone in the past, or may do in the future.\nENDORSES  RAILWAY   POLICY\nIn the course of a lengthy nnd closely reasoned address Mr.\nFlumerfelt outlined his attitude towards the policies of the new\nadministration. He endorsed the railway policy of the late administration as necessary to cope with the growing requirements of the\nProvince, and especially emphasized the fact that in the near future\nit would be impossible to ship the wheat products of the Prairies\nby Eastern routes, and if would become necessary to utilize Pacific\nCoast ports for the purpose. When that day arrives, the wisdom of\nthe policy which constructed the Grand Trunk Pacific, the Canadian\nNorthern, and the Pacific Great Eastern would be manifest, and\ncriticism would cease. Mr. Flumerfelt pointed out what is too often\noverlooked, viz.: thnt the development nnd completion of railways\nwithin tho Province hns literally created millions of ncrcs of new\nhinds by bringing them within reach of the markets of the world.\nIt was not possible to carry out such gigantic transportation enterprises without the aid of the credit of the Government. On the\nother hand, the permanent improvements which the people inider-\ntnke are a legitimate charge against cnpiinl account, and not against\nmaintenance. In other words, such expenditures ns nre presently\nnon-productive should be treated ns capital outlay nnd Ihe expense\nborne not only by the present, but by the future production of settlers.\nAN IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE 01' FINANCE\nMr. Flumerfelt laid down n most important principle of finance\nwhen he declared that it would he his aim in future so to direct the\nfinances of the Province as to have regular current expenses provided\nfrom current revenue, and where capital expenditures may be necessary in tho future only, such aid shall be afforded to fixed permanent investments as will give promise of providing at least the interest charges agninst thorn. And further, where expenditures nre\nnecessnry for the development, of the country, there should be shown\nin the Balance Sheet, when such investments have been made, the\namounts so expended ns nn asset, which is not the ease in the Provincial hook-keeping nf to-day.\nPUBLIC WORKS ARF ASSETS\nJust how this would work out, nnd how il would deprive Liberals of their \"bonne bundle\" of criticism is well illustrated by the\ncommendatory remarks of the Hon. Thomas Taylor, whn, following\nMr. Flumerfelt, pointed nut thnt although the Provincial Debt hnd\nbeen raised from $12,500,000 tn $18,000,000 since 1003. there hnd\nbeen expended nn public works no less a sum thnn $35,000,000.\nThis is n fnct never commented on   >y critics, nnd tnn often over\nlooked, even by supporters of the Government. In no other Province\nof the Dominion would such an expenditure on necessary public\nworks bs treated otherwise than as nn asset.\nThe Conservative Association\nTHE Liberal press declares, and the Liberal Leader has endorsed the statement, that British Columbia is heartily sick\nof the Conservative Government, and eagerly awaits the\nfirst opportunity to consign it to oblivion. The reiteration of this\nsentiment has become so constant, and its emphasis so pronounced\nthat to the impartial mind there is more than a suspicion that \"the\nlady does protest too much,\" or in other words, that \"the wish is\nlather to the thought.\" One thing is certain\u2014there are at least two\nhundred and fifty men in British Columbia who do not share this\nsentiment, and who brnved the severity of a bitter night to give\nvisible testimony of their increduity. These men were the two\nhundred and fifty delegntes who attended the annual meeting of the\nVictoria Conservative Association on Thursday last. Neither the\nchilling influence of the weather, nor the threatenings of the Liberal\npress could damp their ardour. They were very much like the Allies, who, to the amazement of Germany, refuse to consider themselves beaten. They represented all classes and interests in Victoria,\nthe most conspicuous feature being the overwhehuinf number of men\nnf years and responsibility. This may be because our young men\nare doing their duty at the Front. It was certainly a striking testimony to the fact that our older men nre going tn do their duty at,\nhome. Next to the representative character of,the gathering, the\nmost striking feature was its unanimity. Whatever splits there maybe in the Literal party of Victoria, there are none in the Conservative party. The latter has only one leader \"in esBe\" or \"in posse.\"\nIt has rallied to the fight under one standard. All the quibbles of\nwhich the Liberal press has made so much failed to materialize, and\nthe party presented an unbroken front, and endorsed with a unanimous voice the selection of its Parliamentary candidate and the\nofficers of its organization. The Liberal party is welcome to all the\nconsolation it can derive from so-called dissensions and lack of harmony in local Conservatism. The gulf between the late and the\npresent administration hns teen bridged by the loyalty, the sincerity\nand the devotion of the party representatives, who have set their\nfaces towards the goal which they are bound to reach whenoer an\nelection is held. It may be idle to speculate as to the date, because\nsigns multiply that there will be nn tight, and that, like the historic\nboy who chalked up \"No popery,\" and then ran away, the Literal\nparty of Victoria has chnlked up \"Who wants a fight,\" and then\ntaken to the woods. Be that as it may, nothing can diminish the\nsignificance and the enthusiasm of the Annual Sleeting of tho Conservative Association, which, under the able guidance of Mr. Reginald Hayward, a native son, and one of the most honorable and capable of the young business men of this city, is as certain of victory\nat the polls, whether in a by-election or a peneral election, as at any\ntime during the last decade.\nThe R. N. 6. V. R.\nTHE position of the R. N. C. V. R. at Esqiiimalt is satisfactory\nto no one. The men themselves, who by the exercise of\nmuch self-denial, and the sacrifice, in many instances, of excellent business positions, have fitted themselves and proved their fitness to servo their country, arc dissatisfied because there is an evident\nlack of appreciation of their work. Tt is extremely unfortunate that\nthis should be so, because there is no body of men more deserving\nof commendation fnr the splendid pari they have plnyod in this war.\nWhat they did wns done with a promptness and efficiency which\ngive it an added value. If since those early days nf the war, when\nthe fate of Victoria and Vancouver hung in the bnlnnce, they hnve\nbeen less in the limelight, it is through no fnull of their own, nor\nis it because they have shrunk from file performance of the arduous\nand monotonous duties which hnve been assigned to them. The\nluck nf appreciation is nut mi the part, nf their officers, nor on the\npart nf the Xiivnl authorities nt Esquimalt, il is entirely on the purl\nof the naval advisers of Ihe Dominion Government at Ottawa. In\nview of the fact that naval recruits have recently been asked for,\nand that Mr. Asqiiith has announced the intention nf ihe British\nGovernment tn add 50.000 men tn Ihe Navy, there would seem to\nbo no reason whatever why Nn. 3 Company, R. N. O. V. IL, should\nnnt he recruited tn full strength. Men are urgently needed tn train\nfor this service should the regulars be required elsewhere. More\npublicity would help recruiting. The Dockyard authorities are in a\nposition to fully equip the men. The only trouble seems to bo that\nthe authorities at Ottnwa arc so occupied wilh military affairs Hint\nthe defences nf Esquimalt are receiving scant attention. Il is no\ntime tn detnil just how scant thnt attention is, especially ns il would\ninvolve an expose, which would undoubtedly receive the attention\nof the Chief Censor, but ibis bare outline of the facts is sufficiently\ngrnveto warrant notice.

A. Freeman, C.\nH. Lugrin and W. Idiens. It cannot\nhe far wrong for Lounger to follow\nsuch nn excellent \"lead.\" So X will\ncommence with \"When I was a boy\nI read a poem commencing, \"Oh the\nsnow, the beautiful snow!' It was a\nweird, pathetic dirge, something\nafter the style of Tom Hood's\n\"Song of a Shirt,\" and left one\nwith the uncomfortable feeling of\nhaving unconsciously wronged somebody's sister. From that day to this\nsnow has been my \"bete noir.\" I\nnever see a copybook (but I am reminded of the clean white page on\nwhich I have smudged the history of\nmy life. I never read a poem hut I\ntiling \"of Excelsior,\" nnd the \"awful avalanche,\" and \"the dogs of St.\nBernard,\" with all the accent on the\nlinal syllable. In my own happy\n\"Midlands\" we rarely saw snow,\nand only made its acquaintance\nwhen some nemesis drove us on a\nmission to the hills of Wales, or the\nmountains of Scotia. Then it was\nin the snowdrifts of Nova Scotia\nthat I renewed my acquaintance with\nIhe \"beautiful,\" and for the lirst\ntime learned of the charms of sleighing, nnd incidentally of digging one's\nway out of the house through the\nbedroom window, and \"mirnbile\ndictu\" digging election trains out of\nsnowdrifts. That was in 1890, when\nwe got Ihe late Sir Charles Tupper\nlo the Sidney convention against\n\"Siberian\" odds. And by the same\ntoken the sturdiest shoveller of the\n!100 loyal Conservatives who formed\nthat gang wns none other than the\nHon. David McKcnn, now Lieutenant\n'Governor of Nova Scotia. But that's\nanother story, not to be told yet. I\nthought I hnd finally escaped snow\nby coming to Victoria. Cuthbert\nsnid so. yet today I saw him hustling\nit off his sidewalk, nn industrial\nactivity lo which I hear he was stimulated by the gift of a pair of\nsnow shoes by nn admirer from\nSaskatoon. .\"Oh. tho snow! the\nbeautiful snow! How I adore yon!\nBut when will von go?\"\nAlthough only just convalescent\nfrom \"flue\" I dragged myself to see\n\"The Birth of a Nation.\" I could\nnot do less, in view of its reputation,\nand am free to confess thnt as a\n\"movie\" show it has only one rival,\n\"Peace and War.\" Of the latter I\nshall have a lot more to say in next\nissue. Now, as to \"The Birth of a\nNation,\" there can be but one verdict, \"C'est magnifigue mais ce n'est\npas l'histoire.\" This is the opinion\nnf Ihe President of tho local American Society, and he is right. It is\nnot good to purtrny anything that is\ncalculated tn arouse racial feeling,\nespecially among subjects of the\nsame country. The play under consideration does this: It presents a\nfalse picture, a picture of what never\nwns, and never conld be. The 'book\non which it is based, \"The Clansman,\" is responsible for thai. It\nhad an enormous circulation in tlie\nSlates, and if the people most affected were satisfied, others arc not\nlikely to resent it. The only thing\nwe regret would be if the public\ntook its historical representations\nseriously. But do tbey? I think\nnot. The American gentleman who\nis so jealous for (he good name ol'\nIhe people of Ihe South, black and\nwhite, lakes himself loo seriously.\nPeople do not go lo the \"movies\" to\nlearn history\u2014yet. They simply go\nlo he entertained. \"The Birth of a\nNation\" is u magnificent spectacular\ndrama. II packs Ihe houses everywhere, in the States, in Canada, in\nLondon. Why. in Vancouver even\nan Editor complained because he did\nnot get a good seat. Editors should\nalwnys get the best seats, how else\ncan tlie public be expected to appreciate the show? All the people of\nthe States, of Canada and of London\nare not ignorant of history, but that\nfact does not prevent them from\nflocking lo \"The Birth of a Nation,\"\noven nt a dollar \"per.\" From which\ncircumstance I argue that they go to\nbo entertained, nnd preserve a very\ndetached attitude where \"facts\" are\nconcerned. The \"Show\" is the\nthing.\nEveryone was pleased with the\nvisit of General John Hughes to\nM. D. No. 11, and incidentally with\nGeneral John Hughes himself. Comparisons are \"odorous.\" and I will\ntherefore content myself with saying\nthnt the General is ns different from\nanybody but himself ns can well be\nimagined. He is a modest gentleman\nnf experience nnd considerable competency.     He   fashioned   his   pro\ngramme on that of the Governor-\nGeneral, who during his recent visit\nconfined himself strictly to \"business.\" His \"business,\" apart from\nroutine duty seemed to be to speak\na word of encouragement and commendation to everyone in the Service\nwith whom he came in contact. He\neven tried to encourage those officers\nwho lind Victoria firesides more attractive than the trenches, and who\nhave had their last transfer. I had\nintended to publish their names, but\nit will hardly be necessary, they are\nwell known, and one by one will be\nregistered as dropping out altogether,\nfor various reasons, The next bunch\nlo be dealt with will be officers drawing military pay and continuing to\n\"run\" their private \"business.\"\nAny opinion expressed in this\ncolumn is strictly non-political, because, like most of the candidates\nfor parliamentary honors, I am \"not\na politician.\" As a matter of fact,\nvery few people are, and no greater\nmistake can be made than to suppose\nthat elections nre won by tlie \"machine. '' Who cares for the machine'\/\nIt may be a factor, a very small\nfactor, but most certainly it is not\n\"the whole show.\" Elections are\nalways won by what is known ns the\n\"silent\" vote. That is the vote that\ncannot be classified. The vote that\nminds its own business, keeps its own\ncounsel, and is not revealed until the\npoll is declared. Every politician\nknows this, and be knows that it is\npart of the game to say just the opposite, and to try to convince the\nrank nnd file that he has the election\nsalted away, nnd can produce the\ngoods whenever called upon. There\nwns some truth in this in those good\nold days when Sifton nnd Gnmey\nand ballot-box-Preston simply stuffed the ballot boxes\u2014but those days\nare gone. Despite the vaporings of\nIhe Victoria Times neither H. P., nor\nT. H., nor any other boss-organizer,\ncarries the election in his pocket. It\nis pnrt of the necessary bluff to\nmake both sides think that this is so,\nbut as a matter of fact it is the\nmoderate, non-party man who casts\nthe deciding vote. He belongs to no\norganization. He is the creature of\nno machine. He is the man you have\nto convince, Mr. Candidate, and if\nyou fail to do so, your name is\n\"mud\" in spite of all the \"machines\" in the world.\nin these parts for 24 years.
