' Complete confidence in General Foch i.s also expressed, and  thanks arc extended to President  Wilson for his co-operation in the  the United States can bring its full  American   troops.  \"The supreme war council held  its sixth session under circumstances  of great gravity for the alliance of  free\" peoples,\" says the. statement.  \"The German government, relieved  of nil pressure on thc eastern front  by the collapse of the Russian armies  and people, has concentrated all its  effort in the west. It is now seeking  to gain a decision in Europe by a  series \"of desperate aud costly assaults upon the allied armies before  the United States can bring igts full  strength effectively.-to bear.  \"Thc advantage it possesses in its  strategic position and superior railway facilities has enabled the enemy  coTTiniand to gain some initial success. It will undoubtedly renew its  attacks, and thc allied nations maybe  still  exposed  to critical  days.  \"After- a review of thc whole .position, the supreme, war council _ is  convinced that the aiiies, bearing  the trials of the forthcoming campaign with the same fortitude as  thcy have ever exhibited in defence  of the right, will baffle the enemy's  purpose and in due course bring  him to defeat. Everything possible  is being done to sustain, and support the armies in the field. The arrangements for unity of command  have greatly- improved the position  of thc allied armies and are working  smoothlv and with success. The supreme war council has complete confidence in General Foch. It regards  with pride and admiration the valor  of thc allied troops.  \"Thanks to the prompt and cordial co-operation of the president of  the United Slates, the arrangements  which were set on foot more than  two months ago for the transportation and brigading of American  troops will make it impossible for  the enemy to gain victory by wearing out the allied reserve before he  has   exhausted  his   own.  \"Tlie supreme war council is confident oi the ultimate, result, and the  allied peoples are resolute not to  sacrifice a single one. of the free  r-atiens or\" the world to the despotism of Berlin. Their armies are.  displaying lhc same steadfast courage  which has enabled them on many-  previous occasions to defeat a German onset. They have only to endure with faith and patience to the  end to make victory for freedom  secure.  \"The free peoples ami their magnificent soldiers will save civilization.\"  Studying Canadian  Lumbering Methods  F.  the  has  trs.^ji.\\ ;   *ur\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds tHei nag  TT-.  \\i\\\\\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  m.V,r-  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdill*-:  Scraps of War  Be  Prominent Official of India Assigned  to Investigate Methods in  America  S.. Lccte, a prominent official in  forestry service of India, who  been assigned by the Indian  government to investigate logging  methods in America, has arrived in  Vancouver and will visit scenes of  logging operations in British Columbia before proceeding to thc United  States. Mr. Lccte has been 26 years  in thc department of woods and forests of the Indian government, and  has spent his whole* time in thc forests of India and Burma.

Every  type of timber to be found on the  American continent is included in.  Indian forests, but in India hardwood was the principal timber, while  in America soft woods predominated  largely.

All this material was made  through long hours of sweat and  labor and toil to be used in saving  the country, and here it all is lying  in great quantities unused about a  dead battlefield, having unfulfilled its  purpose  and having  served  no  cud.  But it is not now all lost, as it  was  up  to a few  months  ago.  Hardly have the troops passed  forward in an attack than a second  army, usually of aged territorials,  follows it on to the battlefield and  begins  thc  cleaning up  process.  Sometimes their companions call  them the \"rag pickers of the army\"  and sometimes thc \"divers for  spoils,\" but in the present official  organization of the armies thcy rank  as a very important  corps.  Their work too i.s often dangerous  as that of the troops who dash to  the assault, as not only have they to  handle abandoned explosives of the  most perilous kind to touch, but often enough their work has to be carried on under a terrific bombardment.  But    thcy  do    it  as  heroically,   as  stoically and  as methodically as    do  | their  brother  territorials    who  carry  the  hot  soup  up  to  thc fighting  line  through    a barrage of machine    gun  j lire, shrapnel and high explosives.  First   there   are   the  unused    shells  which  the batteries  and  trench  mortars  had  to abandon  as  thcy dashed  forward.  Sometimes  they lie  in piles  of  half  a  dozen  or  more  and  sonic-  times scattered singly about.  But every one is exceedingly valuable for the metal of which it is  made, for thc high explosives it contains, for thc skill and genius that  has gone into the construction of its  highly perfected fuse and mechanism.  Less delicately made trench bombs  and aerial torpedoes arc likewise  gathered up.  Ivlost dangerous are tlie unexplod-  ed German shells -which lie scattered  about. Thcy may explode at thc  first human touch, but nevertheless  they must be gathered up both for  thc removal of such a menace and  for the value of thc material they  contain.  Then come thc hand grenades.  These may have been abandoned, or  dropped by thc \"poilu\" as he dashed  forward to the assault ' Or again  they* may be. unexploded ones, either  allied or German, which may still  go off at the first touch. But thcy  must be gathered  up.  In another pile are heaped up the  steel helmets gathered from the field.  Thcy again may have fallen from  thc head of a soldier in the heat of  a charge or may have fallen to the  ground  as   the  wearer    himself    fell  *-..-! *.1 1,11..  plClll.CU     Willi     .1    LMllldl.  Kven when the helmets themselves  are. riddled with bullets and shell  splintered 1lte steel they contain is  still  loo  valuable  to  leave behind.  On every battlefield hundreds of  thousands of rifle cartridges, both  exploded and unexploded, lie. scattered about. These must, be gathered up one ill a time, often under a  heavy   artillery   fire.

One of the most encouraging  things, tbc premier continued, was  the \"superb valor and the trained  skill with which thc Americans have  taken their part in. the struggle and  defeated the foe. It is a most encouraging thing, because there has  been a great flow of these troops  and we were depending on them.\"  \"If, for any cause the allies fail  to succeed, it will be a sorry world  to live in,\" Mr. Lloyd George said.

We are paying a big price, a  sad price, for victory, but the sum  total of human -wretchedness which  has been paid will not equal in value  that which wc are defending. Wc  arc passing through anxious days  and the crisis is not yet passed, but  with stout hearts, we shall win  through and then woe to the plague.  In the interest of civilization, in the  interest of thc human race, it must  be stamped out. You cannot allow it  to come again to darken the lives  of millions and desolate millions of,  homes.\"  In his reference to the Americans,  the premier said:  \"I have just returned from France  where I met a French statesman,  who had been at the battlcfront soon  after an engagement where thc  Americans fought. He. was full of  admiration, not merely for their superb valor, but for thc trained skill  with which thcy attacked and defeated the foe.  \"His report of thc conduct of the  American troops, a division which  had been in action for the. first time,  was one of the most encouraging  things that I have heard. We. know  that whenever they appear in thc  battle lino, thcy will fight in a way  worthy of the great traditions of  their great country. This is in itself a source of support, sustenance,  and encouragement to all those, who  with anxious hearts arc watching the  conflict  going on   in   France,\"  In conclusion Premier Lloyd  George  said:  \"Wc have faced ,n great crisis. We  have heard von Ludendorff's threat  of hammer blows. Hammer blows  would crush poor metal, but they  harden and consolidate good metal.  There is good metal in llrilish hearts  and it has stood the lest ol* centuries.

Thcy arc full of  courage and determination, and it ia  a United France morCNfian ever.  \"Unity and resolution arc two  qualities Ave need. We have sunk  our political difference. Wc have  bigger things to think about. These  differences will come again, but for  thc moment wc have one purpose.  \"Let us be one people, one in aim,  one in courage and the resolve never to give in. Let Britain stand like  a great breakwater against this current, and God willing, wo will break-  its force.\"  Long Range Guns  C5\\. r\\77.^r.  IT  xn  General   Early  914 by Bertha Krupp When  Visiting Essen  The Daily Chronicle's Paris correspondent says that the long range  cannon with which the Germans are  bombarding Paris, were invented  several years ago. A model was  shown to an American general eariv  in 1914, by Frau Bertha Krupp von  Bohen Undclbach (principal owner  of thc Krupp works, Hersel). \"The  gun,\" says the report, \"was shown to  thc American when he visited J-.ssen  on an official mission. He had been  taken all through the vast Krupp  works escorted by a swarm of technical experts and was about to retire when Frau Bertha dismissed all  the party except two confidential  members of the firm, and with the  latter conducted thc general to a  secret room.  \"Here the visitor's attention was  attracted by two immense cannon  with extremely long tubes and of  relatively small diameter. Frau  Bertha said in excellent .English,  'These are the gitiis you ought to  orde**- for thc Panama Canal defence.'  Thcy carry ninety miles, are guaranteed and cost $240,000 each. Ot  course, these are only trial guns and  they cannot fire more than 20 to  25 shells without being repaired.

The nerves   thrive  on  the  new  blood    made  by these pills; the appetite improves,  digestion  is. better, sleeplessness    no  longer   troubles  the     former     nerve-  shattered victim,  and life    generally  takes  on  a   cheerful  aspect.

Dandelions as Food  Cornell University has published a  card \"Dandelions as Food,\" which  explains how some benefit may be  obtained from this yellow flowering  plant which prevents the lawns from  being beautiful. It is known that  iron is necessary to maintain the  body in perfect health, and that fresh  vegetables and especially greens _ or  spinach supply a large proportion.  Dandelion greens are valuable in this  respect also and may be used to  supplement\"the staple foods and give  variety to the menu.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, AUG.   9  It' there is any institution in the  country these days that, can be  said to strike the happy medium  between the ultra optimistic and  the unduly pessimistic\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwith a  leanings if a^yv toward the latter\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  surely it is the Canadian banking  system. Coming from such a  source the following from the end-  of-July statement on the crop outlook issued by the Bank of Commerce will be read with confidence  and some satisfaction :  \"It is generally admitted that  the cereal crops of the year are not  likely to be above the average and  this should be an incentive to  greater economy. In some of the  mobt productive portions of the  West the prole?-gee! drought before  the recent rains has done considerable injury, but there is still a hope  justified by the experience of previous years that unforseen recoveries will take place.  * It was expected, in 'view of the  great need of foodstuffs, that a  larger crop than usual would be obtained, but present indications are  that the yield will be somewhat  below the average, though the total  crop, as a result of the larger acreage seeded, promises to exceed that  of last year. Fodder crops, too, in  some districts are below the average and pasturage has been only  fairly good, so that the output of  dairy produce has been curtailed to  some extent. Better prospects  exist with regard to mixed grains.  \"The fruit crop on the whole will  be an average one and generally  speaking the produce of the fields  and orchards will permit of our exports from these sources being  maintained on the same level as  last year, provided that weather  conditions are favorable for the  rest of the season.\"  that in any division of the lands  the size  of the white  population  and the importance of a plentiful  supply of good feed for present as\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  future herds of such residents shall  be given the full importance it deserves in comparison with the 187  or so Indian residents and the class  of cattle they are now producing.  An allocation of these lands in view  of present and future population requirements   should   be    eminently  satisfactory all round.  Along with regulating the Indians' activities and keeping the  whites within due bounds in the  premises, Mr. Smith might find it  well to set aside an area for pasturage purposes, devoting the rest to  hay growing exclusively for a term  of years\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif reclamation does not  eventuate. \"With these two details  definitely arid religiously observed  we fancy the matter of having the  permits issued as to cutting- areas  respected would not be a serious  matter, and it would then only be  a master of a short time till the  flats were producing more hay and  of better quality than most of our  haycutters can recall as obtaining  on these overflowed lands.  \"Without bein*' unduly fulsome  one can say that Mr. Smith looks  all over like the right sort of official  to tackle the job, and that given  half a chance he will see it through  without fear or favor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor know the  reason why.

Coincident, with the increasing  herds of the. whiten we are aim> face  to   face   with   tho  name   condition  In some quarters Creston Farmers' Institute is coming in for criticism because it was not directly  representod in such numbers as a  goodly cash balance on hand would  petmit, at the Western Carada Irrigation Congress at Nelson last  month.

Among  the many who have come forward  with statements is Air. Paul Landry,  a well-known resident, whose testimony can easily be corroborated.  \"Jt is with great pleasure, that I  write to tell you your Dodd's Kidney  Pills arc the best medicine that 1  have ever taken,\" Mr. Landry states.  \"When 1 commenced to take them  there was not much hope for mc  After taking four boxes I fell: like  myself again.

Admirable  Working  tern Wherever  The permit system of regulating-  settlers' clearing tires is now in effect throughout nearly all the forest  regions of Canada. Last year, legislation to bring it into force was  adopted in Ontario, Manitoba and  Saskatchewan. This year, the new  Fire Act in New Brunswick makes  the plan effective throughout that  province. In Nova Scouu, Quebec,  and British. Columbia, the system  lias been in effect for years. Alberta is now tlie only forest province  without it.  Wherever the setting out of setters' clearing fires has been regulated under the permit system, with an  adequate staff for its enforcement, it  lias worked wonders in reducing the  forest fire losses, with no real setback  to  agricultural \"development.  The disposal of logging slash by  fire, under control, is a problem  closely related to that of slash resulting from settlers' clearing operations. In various parts of Canada,  the. safe disposal of logging slash is  receiving increased attention, due to  the rapidly increasing stumpage value of timber and to the realization  that our forest resources arc by^ no  means inexhaustible.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdC.L., in Conservation.  \"General   Issimo,  ton Transcript.  1 believe.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBos-  The Cause of Appendicitis  1  l  *&T  1WW  tm  <p  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.  1  U6IliliI\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdiy  laisOwEi  r-V  The commonest cause of appendicitis is constipation.

Thc church army worker picked  up the small, broken body from the  flower patch into Avhich it had been  flung. But the boy was dead; and  lie could find no words and no touch,  to slay the sobbing of the old man  by his side, whose work-worn fumb  ling lu  1 sign  meeting it was made  expansion was in the main a direct ,  result of the increased valuation of)  the commodities on which such  loans are based. The assets have  been rigorously scrutinised, aud thc  sum of $400,000 was appropriated  out of profits for the contingent fund  for the making good of any depreciation.  In spite of thc expansion in current loans, the proportion of liquid  assets lo liabilities is still high  enough for the most conservative  requirements. Thc cash and readily  realizable assets now total $57,667,481  against public liabilities amounting  to $126,322,671, or in the proportion  of 45.6 per cent. About 34 millions  of these liquid assets is in thc form'  of cash, bank balances and call  loans, and the remainder consists  largely of government securities of  the Dominion, thc Provinces and  Great Britain. It will be seen Ihat  both by its assistance, lo thc current'  trade and industry of the Dominion  and by its support of lhc government finances of Canada and ihe  allies, the Merchants Bank is performing important services towards  the  -winning of  the Avar.
