C\u2014Tho Argos are\nDominion champions. They won the\ntitle by defeating 'Varsity Iby 14 to 2\nhere yesterday.\nContrary to expectations tbe Argos\nwere nble to appear with their strongest line-up. Wendell Holmes, the sterling half-back, was In the game. He\nwas injured in Ottawa Nov. 7. Though\nthreatened with pleurisy, he went Into\ntho gamo in fairly good shape. Foster, who had his ankle twisted In the\nHamilton Rowing club game on Wednesday, had tlio injured member well\nbandaged.\nCoach Hughes Gall sent the 'Varsity\nteam on tho field in the best of shape\nafter two weeks' lay-up. Only three\nchanges wero made on the team from\ntho ono that lined up against McGiil\nin tho final intercollegiate game.\nRed Mackenzie, who got into the\nMcGiil game in the second half, started out today in Lindsay's place.\nMonty Clarkson replaced Adelard at\noutside wing. O'Reilly, out of tho\ngame owing to parental objections,\nwas replaced by Nicholson.\nTho Argos won the gamo In the\nfirst quarter by taking advantage of\nthe fumblings of the 'Varsity halves.\nA few minutes after the gamo started\nMcKcnzio fumbled a punt from O'Connor and Murphy grabbed tho ball and\nraced over for a touch. This put 'Varsity up against an uphill fight and\nthough they tried hard, the Argos had\nenough left to stavo them off for tho\nrest of tho gamo.\nBrilliant Rugby Playod\nHolmes, Motley and Foster played\nbrilliant rugby all afternoon. In tho\nfirst part of the gamo the Argo halves\nplayed great rugby and caught bravely\nbut toward the end they 'began to show\nthe strain of two hard 'battles this\nweek and fumbled badly. Thc 'Varsity\nwas unablo to take advantage of this\nfumbling and thc Argo halves always\nrecovered.\nThe fine tackling of Knight nnd\nMurray played no little Part in the\nwinning of the Argos' first lead. The\nArgo outside wings were a menace to\nthe 'Varsity players and always downed them in their tracks.\nBurkat and McFarlane wore prominent In blocking the opposing wings\nand gave their halves great protection.\nMills' following up and tackling featured his work. He also got the ball\nout cleanly. Holmes and Smith pulled\noff several good runs in the earlier\npart of the game but weakened toward\nthe last. Murphy was on tho job,\nplaying as usual.\nROSSLAND HOCKEY CLUB\nELECTS NEW OFFICERS\nROSSLAND, B.C., Dec. (J.\u2014A hockey meeting was held on Friday.

Whnt ambitions\nwould not deepen in Germany, what\ntribute could she not exact, if dominating Europe with her army she\ncould wage a successful naval campaign against Britain'.'\n\"Within the past 10 years the peace\nof Europe has been threatened by\nGermany on no less than three occasions. In 1905 France at her dictation\nwas obliged to dismiss her foreign\nminister. In 1909 Germany showed her\nmailed fist nnd compelled Russia to\nbow to her will, in 1911, as the history of tho Agadlr incident recalls, she\nagain attempted to coerce and humiliate France and the situation\nsaved only by tlie interposition of\nGreat Britain. Germany receded from\nher first pretensions but only to bide\nher time, which came In 1914.\nDominion Quickly Met Situation\n\"Tho military autocracy of Germany\nhas taught its people for moro than\n20 years that the British Empire stood\nconfidently in the path of German expansion nnd that war was inevitable.\nNo one could predict the exact occasion which would be seized but no one\ncould doubt the intention of the Prussian militarists. There was the lesson\nof Denmark nnd Austria and France.\n\"In the end the storm broke suddenly and the country was confronted\nwith responsibilities greater than\nthose which It had ever faced. Thc\nsituation demanded action; it deinnnd-\ned immediate and unhesitating action\nbeyond the authorization of the law as\nit then stood; It was impossible for\nthe government to wait and by order-\nIn-council wo promulgated necessary\nmeasures in advance of the meeting of\nparliament. The people ot Canada\nloyally acquiesced in these measures\nand our course has been ratified by\nthe necessary legislative sanction.\n'On Aug. 1 I sent to tho British\ngovernment a secret telegram announcing Canada's desire to send an expeditionary force if war should ensue.\nThe offer was not accepted until Aug.\nbut ln the meantime steps In anticipation wero taken and the raisins\nand equipment of troops for such a\nforce were authorized.\nOn Aug. 7 the suggested composition of the force was received from\nthe British authorities ant\\ was immediately sanctioned by order-in-\ncouncll. Recruiting in the meantime\nhad already commenced and on Aug. 6\nthe preparation of thc Valcartier camp\nwas begun.\nAchieved Wonders at Camp\n'I visited the camp four weeks from\nthe day on which work commenced\nand I am proud that Wo possess In\nCanada the ability to achieve Within\nso limited a period all that was accomplished within that month. A\nrifle range comprising a line of 1,500\ntargets and extending over 3h_ miles\nwas completed within about 10 days,\nA complete water supply with necessary pumps, piping, tanks and chlorinating plant with about 200 taps fitted to the tables and 75 shower baths\nere constructed. An electric' light,\npower and telephone system was installed. Streets were constructed,\nbuildings and tents erected and an effective sewerage system, comprising\nover 28,000 ft. of drain pipe was\npleted. Railway sidings with loading\nplatiforms were constructed. Woodi\noro cleared and elaborate sanitary\narrangements prepared. Six large\nbuildings for ordnance stores nnd for\ntho army service corps, buildings for\nmedical stores, for pay and transport\noffices, for hospitals, stables for sick\nhorses, fumigating and other buildings\nwere constructed and madc ready foi\nuse within the samo period. Thirty-\nfivo thousand men were assembled and\nput though a most valuable course of\ntraining iu all branches of the service. Infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, army service corps, army\nmedical corps, signalers and ammunition columns were organized and all\nwere trained In their respective duties.\nSixteen thousand men were trained\ndaily in musketry. The clothing and\nequipment, tho transport and supply\nfor 35,000 men were a heavy under-\ntaking, especially ln tho urgency and\nhaste. It Ib difficult for thoso who\ndid not see tho camp and who have\nnot studied all that has been accomplished to realize the tremendous demands madc upon tho organizing ability of tho Canadian people to accom*\nplish this.\nHuge Amount of Equipment\n\"I venture tho assertion that tho organization ond arrangements of Valcartler camp havo not been excelled\nin any part of our Empire slnco the\ncommencement of this war. It is unnecessary to describe in detail all the\nequipment, arms, accoutrements and\nother necessaries furnished. To equip\ntho force sent forward and to make\nsomo provisions for future contingents\n290.000 pairs of boots and shoes havo\nbeen provided, 100,000 forage caps,\n90,000 great coats, 240,000 Jackets and\nsweaters of various kinds, 235,000 pairs\nof trousers, 70,000 rifles, 70,000 bayonets, 80,000 oil bottles, 70,000 water\nbottles, 95,000 sots of valise equipment\nand so In like proportion over a list\nof 66 different articles.

In the great Armada\nwhich threatened the shores of Great\nBritain over three centuries ago, there\nwere less than 20,000 soldiers. The\nforce whicli w'a have sent across the\nAtlantic is nearly 50 per cent, greater\nthan the total number of British troops\nunder Wellington's command at Waterloo.\n\"It would not only be useless but\nunjust and cruel as well to send untrained men to the front against highly trained and seasoned troops. They\nmust also be hardened by exercise In\nthe duties of a soldier's life until their\nphysical condition will enable them to\nendure the hardships of aclive service.\nThus our troops are receiving in\nGreat Britain tho tests of training and\nof exercise which are prescribed for\nthe volunteer army of tho mother\ncountry.

It can be played in several\ndifferent ways and with almost any number of players. As originally introduced\nit consisted of partners (representing various countries) congregating in large\ngroups, and with small metal projectiles or with instruments of steel, perforating\nor prodding their opponents until the latter broke into a run or fell to the ground\nthrough weakness.\nVarious improvements have been made since this form of entertainment was\nbrought across the Atlantic. Perhaps the most effective method of playing in\nvogue here is as follows:\nAs many men as can be spared are sent forward to check the opposing side while\nthe majority, remaining at home, endeavor by drawing their opponents best cards\nto strengthen their own hands and thus support those at the front.\nComing down to cases, the people of Nelson can establish their long suit by trading at home. To properly support our side in this contest we must concentrate\nour resources.

Ills declaration that if twice or thrice one\nhundred thousand men were needed\nthe government would send forth the\ncall to arms with confidence in the\nreply strikes a note which will find\na responsive chord in the heart of\nevery loyal resident of the Dominion.\nSir Robert referred to the fact that\nmen could not be Eeut forward more\nrapidly than the British authorities\nwere prepared to receive them and undertake their final training and that\nin Canada, this country not having\nbeen organized ou a military basis,\nthere were no great stores of equipment, arms and ammunition. In Great\nBritain, the premier pointed out, a\nsimilar .situation prevailed, but these\nsupplies in both countries were being\nproduced with all expedition so that\nfurther volunteers could bo trained\nand equipped as sooti as possible.\nThe view expressed by Sir Robert\nthat tho Monroe doctrine as the policy\nof the United States was entitled to\nevery respect but that iu tills war\nwhich involved the destiny of tbe Empire Canada did not take shelter behind It will find cordial agreement\nthroughout the Dominion. As he\npointed out, Canadians are ready and\neager to assume the responsibilities\nwhich fa*IT to their lot as citizens of\ntlie 'Empire. There has been no hesitation iu responding to the calls for volunteers and patriotic and relief funds\nhave been contributed to in no ni;\ngardly way. Canada will light its way\nwith the rest ol tiie Empire until a\nlasting peace has been assured by a\ncomplete victory for Great Britain und\nits allies.\nWOMEN POINT THE WAY.\nThe Nelson and District Women's\ninstitute is taking a step in the right\ndirection hy arranging to secure\nspeakers at its Saturday afternoon\nmeeting who will set forth some of\nthe reasons why the public should buy\nat home and ask for madc-in-Canada\ngoods.\nIf tbe women of tlie Kootenay and\nBoundary district will engage in a\ncampaign for supporting their own\ncommunity by keeping their money in\nthe first instance at home by making\ntheir expenditures in their own district and In tbo second place to keep\nit ln the Dominion by insisting upon\nsecuring the products of Canadian natural resources and of Canadian factories tho movement will receive an\nImpetus which cannot fail to carry it\nto a triumphant conclusion.\nAnd its success means more money,\nmoro employment and greater prosperity in Kootenay and Boundary and\nthe Dominion as a whole.\nGERMANY'S OBJECTS.\nProf. Ernst Haecltel ol Jena university has come forward with a statement of -the objects whicli Germany\nmust set itself to attain in the war it\nis waging against the triple entente,\nlu It he incorporates offers of bribes\nto Poland, Finland, Holland and\nSweden.\nThe \"British tyrannical state\" is to\nbo invaded by tiio Prussian urmy and\nnavy and London is to be occupied,\nhe states. Germany is to obtain the\n\"greater part\" of the British colonies\nand ol tho Congo Free State. He provides for the partition of Belgium, the\nwestern portion, including Ostend and\nAntwerp, to become a German federal\nstate; the northern portion to fall to\nHolland -and the southeastern part to\nbe added to Luxemburg, which would\nalso become a German federal state.\n'France Is to give up, Prof. Haeckel\nsays, a portion of its northeastern\nprovinces, while Russia Is to be weakened by the re-estahllshment of the\nkingdom of Poland which should be\nunited with Austria-Hungary and by\n\u25a0giving the Baltic provinces to Germany and creating Finland an Independent kingdom, united with Sweden.\nFrom one ot the professors who\nhave been arguing that Germany was\nforced into a defensive war and that\nIt \u00abhad no desire for world or even\n\u2022European dominance -the confession\nof Prof. Haeckel comes with a frankness that Is re fresh-tag.\nOnly sixteen more days ln which\nto do your Christmas shopping.\nAn eastern financial journal arises\nto remark with due seriousness that\nprobably Russia \"went dry\" with the\nobject of hastening the speed of the\nadvance of its troops into East\nPrussia.\nMadame Sebumaim-'Heinlc, the great\nsinger, says she cannot tell a lie and\nthen declares there are 100,000 Irishmen In New York ready to grasp tiie\nfirst opportunity to go over to Germany and help that country against\nGreat Britain.\nTho payment by tbo Brouse-Nakusp\nTelephone company of a dividend of\n8 per cent is an illustration of what\ncan be accomplished by a well managed farmers' telephone company under tho facilities provided by the laws\nof this province.\nMax Harden, the Prussian writer,\nsays in Die Nulurnpt: \"My strength\nls my law.

Readey\nof Victoria, of the soils and crops division of the department of agriculture,\nwho is In the city en route to Grand\nForks, where ho wlll inspect one of lhe\ngovernment experimniit.il plots whloh\nare. under ills supervision. Mr. Readey\nwas at the Hume.\nMr. Readey would not say that the\nIndustry might not ultimately become\na success In this district if attempted\nbut he strongly advised that those interesting themselves in the movement\ngo slowly and make a careful analysis\nof the situation. A test should be\nmade of tho sugar beet as it can be\ngrown In tbc various portions of the\ndistrict for he bad found that In many\ndistricts thc soil of one portion was\npeculiarly adaptable for Sugar beets\nwhile in other portions they could not\nbe grown with any success at all. He\nemphasized thc necessity of cheap\nlabor and thc necessity of growing\nthc boots in proximity to the sugar\nfactory In ordertbat the freight Chargo-\nif any might be cut down to a minimum.\nIn view of the fact that on account\nof tho European war thc Importation\nof root seeds and In fact many .other\nvarieties of seeds from Europe has\nbeen cut off, steps are -i-elng taken -by\nthu agricultural departments of the\nfederal and provincial governments of\nCanada to meet with Iho situation. In\ncertain communities Ihc growers under supervision of experts provided by\nthe government are conducting seed\nplots for the growing of theso products\nand already stops arc being taken to\nwork up a market, states Mr, Readey,\nThc scarcity of seeds, he states, is riot\nlikely to be felt during 1?1B but Lt is\nalmost sure to be In li*l\u00ab and [t,,ls,t,liat\nyear that a market will bo worked up\nto the greatest extent for the product.1\nDuring the coming winter -seed cen-j\ntrcs aro being organized throughout\ntho province under the Canadian Sood\nGrowers' association and supervised by\nthe provincial department of agriculture. _n these seed centres tho object\nwill be to produce high class seed in\nquantities and m this way when the\nioccasion arises Canada will have a\nconsiderable quantity of tho necessary\nseed on hand and all tho benefits accruing from the production will i*e-\nmuin m thc country, Here, too, Mr.\nReadey emphasized tiio necessity of\ncaution. Tho seed business, ho said,\nwns a special business\u2014one that ro*\nquired careful study\u2014and lie advised\nthat farmers and ranchers should not\nflock into the business. In that case\nthere would be chances of an overproduction and In an inferior class Of\nseed being turned out, A market had\nto bo found before fanners generally\ntook up the production of seed.\nHo nnnounrod that the provincial\ndepartment of agriculture was Introducing improved strains of varieties of\nseeds and definite announcement he\nexpected to bo made shortly. They\nwould be brought In and distributed\nby the department at cost, he thought\nHo dwelt on the importance of fall\nplowing to Iho agriculturists. Good\ndeep plowing should bo done In the\nfall* ho said, for it increases the water\nholding qualities of it. Jt allows th'o\nsoil to benefit from the action of the\nfrost and permits of a freer ramification of roots.\nAlfalfa,- he said, should not be sown\non new ground nor should it be sown\nwith a nurse crop. The soil, he stated, should bo well prepared. As a\nmatter of fact, lie said, it will not pay\nto plant alfalfa unless the land is well\nprepared. It should bo cut often\nenough to keep the weeds from growing to seed and where small areas were\nsown he advocated that it be planted\nin rows and cultivated carefully.\nAlfalfa seed should be inoculated\nwith alfalfa nltro-culturo, which may\nbo obtained from tlm soils and crop?\ndivision of the department of agriculture without cost. The need for the\nuse of nltro-CUlturo, lie said, is Indicated by the sickly yellowish color that\nthc plants take when in tho neighborhood of four and five months old. If\nthey get into this state they will, he\nstates, eventually die,\nHe spoke of the field crop competitions and the excellent results which\nhad been obtained by his department\nthrough this branch of tlie work. They\nhad been of great value to the ranchers of many districts and were entered\nInto by many with a spirit of keenness. They will bo conducted again\nnext year nnd he expects that thc entries will be far In excess of those of\nprevious years. The coin petitions are\nheld for potatoes and other fodder\ncrops.\nHe touched oh the groat success that\n,had been met with during the past\nyear iu tlio experimental plots particularly with corn and alfalfa and lie said\nthe department found that corn could\nlie grown where .it had been thought\nthat It was impossible to produce It.\nHe advocated that all dairymen grow\ncorn and erect silos, It would prove\nInvaluable to thorn, ho thought. An\nexperimental stave silo, 8 ft. x 20 ft.,\nhad been constructed by the department during the past year at SardlB\nand this will be opened shortly. Its\nconstruction cost $40.

This\nwork Is being carried on to encourage\nefforts along tills lino on the part of\nthe ranchers.\nIn concluding, he urged that ranchers\nstick to one line\u2014that Is, if a man\nstarted In Io specialize In fruit let liim\nstick to fruit or if lie started in dairying let him continue doing -so. This,\nho thought, was tlie only road to success. There were bad seasons In all\nlines, but there were more Rood seasons than bad ones nnd ultimately n\nman who specialized would prove successful. He would lu timo learn t\u00ab\u00bb\nproduce liis product more cheaply and\nof better duality. However, in spite\nof this it was wise to supplement any\nline of agricultural endeavor with fl\nfew cattle and lo participate to some\nextent in mixed farming, otherwise\nthero was a certain amount of risk.\nINDIAN WANTED FOR\nSLAYING TURNKEY KILLED\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nPEMBROKE, (.nit., Dec. 6.\u2014Anthony\nJocko, one of tho Indian slayers ot\nTurnkey Koxford In tiio Jail here a\nweek ago, today -paid with his life the\npenalty of hiu crime.

G. Wells' Appeal to Them to Take\nUp Arms if Invader Comes\nThought Dangerous.\nGeorge Bernard Shaw and H. G.\nWells have once again furnished proof\not tho adage that the cobbler should\nstick to his last, says a despatch from\nLondon. These distinguished literary\nlight were the authors, respectively,\nfirst, of an appeal to all the combatants In tlie western field of war to\nevacuate Belgium and carry on no\nmom military operations in that much\ntried country and, second, a fervid,\nnot to say hysterical, series of letters\nin whicli the civil population of England wns exhorted to tako up arms,\neven if those.weapons were only shot*\nruus or carving knives, to defend\ntheir homes against the Germans.\nMr. Wells* articles have heen more\nwidely referred to than Mr. Shaw's,\nbut even Mr. Wells has not had whnt\ntho French cull \"a good press.'1 Practically all the comments upon his suggestion have been condemnatory. The\nwar office has issued an announcement to the effect that in the event of\ntho enemy attempting to invade this\ncountry instructions would be issued\nby tlio proper authorities as t() what\nnon-combatants wore to do. Some of\nMr. Wells' supporters took this tu\nmean that the war office was, to some\nextent at least, iu sympathy with his\nviews, and counted upon making use\nof civilian resistance In case a German force should lie landed on Hritish\nshores.\nThero is excellent authority for slating that tliis inference is entirely erroneous. Tho war office announcement was Intended simply to \"Hay any\nhysterical alarm which might have\nbeen aroused by the novelist's articles, and to prevent tlie spread of a\ndoctrine which was believed to bc pernicious. By staling that the wur office\nhad tho matter in hand, it was felt.\nindividual action along the lines\npreached by Mr. Wells would be obviated.\nBelgian Civil Guards' Fate.\nWith the experience of that section\nor tbe civil population of Belgium\nwhich attempted to resist tlio Gorman\nInvaders to go upon, the British government would have no option but to\nprevent by ail the means in Us power\nany but military opposition to any invading army In Britain, In Belgium\ntho Germans would not recognize tbe\ncivil guard, which is a regularly constituted body, as a military organization; and though The Hague regulations are wide enough lo include\namong legitimate combatants volunteer and militia corps Whioll satisfy\nall of the following conditions: (1)\nThey must be led by a person responsible for liis subordinates, (2) wear a\nfixed distinctive emblem recognizable\nat a distance, (3) carry anus openly,\naud (I) conduct their operations In\naccordance with tho laws and customs\nof war\u2014these regulations are purely\nacademic, for they settle nothing unless the belligerent powers abide by\nthem. Neither in 1870-71 nor in tho\npresent war has Germany shown any\ndisposition to recognize as legitimate\ncombatants any but fully nnd regularly organized military forces.\nTne \"Levee En Masse.\"\nOno of Mr. Wells' contentions Is\nthat The Hague regulations recognize\na levee en masse in territory not yet\noccupied by the enemy, and when it. is\nspoiitnpeous. Article II. provides that\n\"the Inhabitants of a territory which\nhas not been occupied who, on tho\napproach oC the enemy, spontaneously\ntako up arms to resist the invading\ntroops without having had time to organize themselves in accordance with\nArticle I. shall lie treated as belligerents If,they carry arms openly and if\nthey respect the laws and customs of\nwar.\"\nIn tills connection an authority on\ninternational law points otit that the\nword \"spontaneously,\" which has\nhitherto been construed as dispensing\nwith a state order or call to arms, is\nshown by an incidental nnd indeed irrelevant remark in the German official explanation of the sack or Louvain\nto bo construed very strictly by tlie\nGermans. A rising organized by the\ngovernment providing arms in advance is- on this view not \"spontaneous\" and persons who join in it are\nnot legitimate combatants. A national rising on this view must rely on\nprivately owned weapons, rifles (if\npossible), shotguns and pitchforks.\nThere can be no question that any\nsuch rising would be speedily and\nruthlessly put down by a well-equipped\nInvader.\n9.444444444 444444 4>4444444 *>\ni> ..4-\nAll Kinds of Goods May Be Disposed\nof Through n Want Ad.\n9 4\n94>444444444>4X*444444>4.44>94^,-\nRetiring From Business\nBargains\nGet your winter footwear at\nThe Palace Shoe Store\nAnnable Block.

Its status as a nation\nIs a sham. It has owed the continuation of its being to external forces-\nstates fearing a dislocation In their re-\nbilious to each other through its disintegration.\nTurkey may have served its purpose to support European equilibrium\nwhen such equilibrium was desirable\nfor the maintenance of peace among\nthe nations, iitit once this equilibrium\nhas been deranged through the present international conflict, and the distribution of power, which, until a few-\nweeks ago, seemed so fii'miy ami carefully established, has heen upset, tho\nralson d'etre of the Ottoman empire\nceases,\nThere never has been an Ottoman\nnation. Peoples of different races,\ncreeds and habits have been made,\nthrough their differences and lack of\nunity, to submit to a master oppressor,\nthe Turk, who, knowing their weaknesses and working on their spirit of\ndiscord, lias thereby maintained his\nascendancy.\nTbc trump card of the Turkish empire is tbe religious quality Invested\niu its head of the state. Eliminate tlie\nkhallfate and not all the powers of\nEurope could havo held together the\nwidely different elements of whieh the\nOttoman empire is composed. When\nono remembers that this Quality has\nbeen usurped by the Turks from its\nlawful holders, the Arab tribe of Ko-\nreisii. it becomes obvious on how weak\na foundation ibis whole religious fabric is built, and how easy it should he\nto recognize this state of things.\nIsiam as a Pawn.\nA real and honest struggle for [slam\nmay havo had universal support from\nadherents to that faith. But when Islam is made a pawn to bo used in favor of the Germanic struggle and\nagainst Germany's enemies the question of whether tho Turks can depend\non the support of their co-religionists\nbecomes very doubtful. It hardly\nseems possible tbat all the Mohammedans of Turkey, especially tlio more\nenlightened among them, could support such ft movement on the part\nof their government, which will have\neverything to lose and nothing to gain,\nwhatever the outcome of the present\nconflict In ease Germany wins,\nWhich is the maximum they can hope\nfor, It is obvious that Turkey will become a German dependency, managed\nand run by Germans for Germany's\nbenefit. Should Germany lose, as appears certain, Turkey, even as a much\nenfeebled state, will cease to exist.\nThis a large proportion of the Ottoman empire .Moslems recognize, and\nit hardly seems reasonable that they\nwill abet and uphold a policy wblch\nundoubtedly will result In such a denouement.\nHut besides tlie Moslem element,\nwhich is the preponderant one. there\nexists a by no means negligible element of Christians, Jews, Druses and\nvarious other sects recognizing in the\nTurk only an oppressor and parasite\nwho would willingly contribute to his\ndownfall.\nThe Turks, the descendants of the\noriginal conqueror's, holding all tho important posts In the army and state,\nIn Turkey are not more than 6,000,000\n7,000,000. All the rest of the inhabitants, whether Moslems, Christians, Jews or otherwise, are Kayas\nof dependents. The Moslem element\nkeeps Its allegiance to Turkish rule\nbecause, as has been said before, ot\ntho religious factor, and for no other\nreason. Once a Christian leader of\nthought in the Arabic world was discussing iho Hritish occupation of\nEgypt with some Egyptian UIema\u00bb\n(religious teachers) and, after he had\nheard their objections, asked them to\ngive him a straight answer to a\nstraight question. He asked them if\nthey would still object to the British-\noccupation and rule of Egypt if the\nBritish were Moslems. After some\nhesitation ihey answered \"No.'1\nThe Christian Minority,\nOf the I'*-',ooo,000 inhabitants of the\nOttoman empire over 5,000,000 are\nChristians and other than Moslems,\nTlie Christians are either Catholics\nand Maronltes, Greek Orthodox or Pro-.\ntestants, and all their sympathies are\nfor one or tlie other of the allies. The\nCatholics and Maronltes are heart and\nsoul for France. The Greek Orthodox\nare for Hussia and the Protestants for,\nBritain, Besides, there are the HniBes,\n20,000 to 30,000, hardy warrions all,\nwho would fight to the death for England against the Turk, their hereditary enemy.\nTho Emir Omar Fezayri, grandson\nlo tbe famous Emit* Abd-el-Kader, the\nAlgerian, is living with some 20,000\nof his men, in the province of Damascus. He and his men would certainly\nstriko (for Prance, The Lebanon\nwould riso as one for the allies\u2014all\nits men hardy and strong and for the\nmost part armed. All these different\nelements and more are ready to act\nand strike against the common foe.\nIt is not proposed to indicate ways,\nhut there surely must be some means\nof making use of these different\nfriendly elements and having their\nhelp in tiie struggle for their own deliverance.\nThen Turkey and its dictator will\nfind they will have to contend with\ninterna! as well as external forces, all\naiming at the same object, the deliverance of a country famous for its history as the cradle of religions, for Ha\nwealth in agriculture and minerals,\nfor its beautiful scenery and delightful climate, from tho devastating influence of the Turk, which promises\nwell to be imbued with the more ruinous German kultur.\nCard\nPrinting a\nSpecialty\nHigh grade stools and suuerlor\nworkmanship ennble us to guarantee satisfaction In this as In\nall other lines o( printing.

Admiral Bettolo, ex-minister of marine, presented the resolution calling for a vote of confidence\nJn tho cabinet. The admiral said he\napproved -the reasons for neutrality\nas given by Premier. Salandra,\nItaly's neutrality was not due to unsatisfactory military conditions in this\ncountry, Admiral Bettolo said, but to\nthe fact that Italy was not obliged to\nfollow the central empires of Europe.\nThe former minister -added:\n\"Our neutrality must he strongly\narmed to enable us to defend the supreme interests of the country 'f they\nare threatened or unrecognized.\n\"Our neutrality should be au expression of our independence and military\npower.\"\nThe majority of those who spoke\nin the chamber, especially the extreme left, tried to construe accord*\ning to their own views the statement\nmade by Premier Salandra at the\nopening of the parliament Thursday.\nThe premier at that time advised that\nItaly maintain an attitude' of armed\nand watchful neutrality. Some of the\nnew speakers urged the government\nto make more explicit declarations,\nwhile others attacked the oablnet he-\ncause, they said, notwithstanding her\nheavy military expenses, Italy was\nobliged to remain neutral owing to\ntho military unpreparedness.\nPremier Salandra replied to the\nspeakers, expressing regret at the un\nmeasured language of some of them\nIii judging the conflict in which the\npowers are engaged. While recognizing tlio merits of all civilized peoples\nand tlielr contributions to the progress\not the world, he Bald In this parlia*\nmeat one sentiment was common to\nall and that was love of Italy. The\nwhole chamber rose and applauded the\npremier, crying \"Viva Italy.\"\nAustria Was Not In Danger.\nGioganni GloleitU, the former pre\nmier, in a speech .announcing his approval of the government, made a\nmost important declaration. He said\nhe thought it was necessary to emphasize that Italy always has been\nloyal to treaties and in this connection added:\n\"I feel it my duty to recall a precedent showing how correct was the interpretation of the alliance by the government when the conflict began. During the Balkan wur on Aug. !), 1913,\nbeing absent from Rome, 1 received\nthe following telegram from the late\nMarquis dl San Glultano (the martinis\nwas at the time referred to minister\nof foreign affairs in the cabinet of\nwhich Slgnor Giolittl was premier)\n\" 'Austria has communicated to you\nand Germany that it has been the intention to act against Servla, defining\nsuch action as defensWe and hoping\nfor an application of a casus foederis\njy the triple alliance, which 1 consider\ninapplicable. I am trying to agree\nwith Germany concerning efforts to\nprevent Austrian action hut it may be\nnecessary to say clearly that we do\nnot consider such eventual action as\ndefensive and therefore do not think\nthat there exists a casus foederis.\nPlease send a telegram saying whether you approve'\n\"I answered Marquis dt San Guiliano thus;\n'\"If Austria goes against Servia a\ncasus foederis evidently does not ex\n1st. It is an action she accomplishes\nou her own account. It is not defensive because nobody thinks of attacking her. lt is necessary to declare\nthis to Austria iu lhe most formal\nnature, hoping that Germany will act\nto dissuade Austria from a dangerous\nadventure.'\n\"This was done and our interpretation of the treaty was accepted by\nour allies, our friendly relations not\nbeing In the least disturbed. Thus the\ndeclaration of neutrality made at the\nbeginning of this conflict ds according\nto the spirit and letter of the treaties.\nI recall this incident, wishing to demonstrate the complete loyalty of Italy\nbeforo the eyes of Europe.\"\nThe former premier was interrupted\nat this point by great applause. He\nconcluded his address by urging the\nmaintenance of neutrality until the\nnecessity should arise to protect\nItaly's rights.\nUntil then, he said, there should he\na loyal observance of neutrality which\nalone can give, in any moment, com*\nplete liberty of judgment and action\nNELSON MEN PASS CIVIL\nSERVICE EXAMINATION\nOTTAWA, Dec. fi.\u2014The names of\nsuccessful candidates at the preliminary civil service examination held in\nNovember at various western points\nhavo been announced ns follows:\nAt Prince Rupert\u2014Archie B.
