It must also be taken Into account that tbe British government can always borrow money\nnibre cheaply than can other parts of\nthe Empire and that money is worth\nmore on this side of the Atlantic than\nin Europe.\n.The wonderful natural resources of\nBritish Columbia, the rapidity of development which will follow when\nconditions permit tbe full benefit of\nthe opening of the Panama canal and\nthe'operation of the new railway lines\ntor'become effecttve and the strong\nfinancial -position which tbe province\nenjoys are chief among the reasons\nfor the. success with which the government haB been able to float the\nloan! \u25a0 -.\nTHE BOY SCOUTS.\nThe time is opportune for the formation of additional corps of Boy\nScouts at points in Kootenay and\nBoundary and efforts should be made\nto, take advantage of the favorable\nconditions which exist.\nThe physical and moral value of the\nBoy Scout training has been recognized. The boys receive healthful exercise, they are taught observation,\nthey are trained to observe tbe gold-\nenrule.\nThe training which they have received has enabled 12,000 .Boy Scouts\nln 'tbe United Kingdom to serve their\ncountry since tbe war broke out hy\nacting as messengers, as look-outs and\nin a Bcore of other directions. In Ottawa the Scouts have been employed\nby the government In various capacities.\nBelgian Boy Scouts did noble work\nduring the Ibuttles for the possession\nof that country during the first weeks\nof the war; by Germany and by other of the belligerent nations they are\nbeing used ln duties which It would\notherwise be necessary to delegate to\nmen fitted for purely military operations, who are thus set free for sterner work. .\nWar office authorities know that\nBoy Scouts are trained ln discipline,\nin the quality of trustworthiness, ln\ncarrying out their duty in the direction in which It may He. The ap\npolntment of Boy. Scouts to perform\noperations which are .second In Importance to those of a distinctly military character at a time when the nations concerned are fighting the greatest .war of history is the greatest tfi-\nbute that could be paid to tbe worth\not. the training which they have undergone.\n'The need for the use ot Boy ScoutB\nin such duties In Canada has not yet\nbeen felt to any great extent but boys\nwho Join the corps In their town or\ncity will be fitted to become better\ncitizens by the training which they\nwill receive and they will be prepared\nto answer their Empire's call If they\nshould be needed to carry out work\nfor which they will be fitted.\nThis institution, according to Sir\nGeorge Palsh, financial adviser to the\nBritish government, takes twenty-\nthird place among 34 banks' in the\nworld which have deposits of over\n1150,000,000, Its deposits In 1913-^1\nyear which Sir George took as\"a basis\nfor his figures\u2014exceeding those of\nthe imperial bank of Germany, which\nIs financing the war for the German\nempire.\nDuring the year ending Nov. 30 last,\nwhich Included four months of war,\nthe Canadian Bank of Commerce made\nnet profits of $2,668,233.29 out of\nwhich the usual dividends of 14 per\ncent and bonus of 2 per cent were\npaid to stockholders; $80,000 wis\ntransferred to the pension fund; $60,-\n000 was paid to the Canadian Patriotic fund and $5,000 to the Canadian Red Cross society. In accordance with the policy of strengthening\nIts resources the sum of $1.,117,7\u00ab3.27\nwas carried forward by the bank tp\nIts reserve fund. Although the prof-\nIts of the bank were slightly smaller\nthan In 1913 the result of the year'3\noperations Is considered most satisfactory.\nDeposits showed comparatively\nsmall fluctuation, the total ln 1914\nbeing $181,608,809 compared with\n$192,813,715 \u201eln 1913. The decrease\nwas In the current accounts, the savings or Interest-bearing deposits remaining at practically the same fig\nure as ln the previous year.\n(During the past year the bank has\nincreased Its \"quick\" assets, those\nwhich are capable ot rapid conversion Into currency, by 2 per cent\nto a total of 39 per cent, which 13\none of the highest which can be\nquoted. \u25a0 \u25a0\nCurrent loans In Canada show a decrease of about $4,306,000 and those\noutside of Canada a decrease of $8,-\n000,000. Current loans In Canada In\n1914 were $132,108,482, while those\noutside tbe Dominion were $10,419,-\n694. The Canadian Bank ot Commerce has several branches In tho\nUnited States and the term \"outside\nCanada'- may be taken to cover the\nbusiness of these offices. In this connection It is significant that tbe deposits received by tbe United States\nbranches ot the bank totnl $20,404,801\nagainst current loans outside of Canada totalling $8,920,859, showing a\nvery substantial \"trade balance\" in\nfavor of this country.\nIn tbe statement of assets It is\nshown that thc bank has Increased Its\nholdings of coin, bullion and Dominion\nnotes from $30,416,666 In 1913 to $32,-\n360,510 in 1914.\neV\"W -' \u25a0\u25a0\"\u2022'-\u2022:. \u25a0.\u00ab'.'' i*\nalso saw service In West Africa,\nNigeria and East Africa.

With the co-operation ot tbe Dominion government\nmeasures were taken which served to\nremove any danger of panic and made\nsecure tho confidence of the public,\nupon -which, in the last analysis, the\nbanking business is established.\nThe annual statement of the Canadian Bank of Commerce which has\njust been Issued illustrates the sound\nprinciples noon which the banking\nsystem of this country la established,\nMillers have again Increased the\nprice of [lour.

The kaiser\nmust be afraid they might acquire the\nBritish spirit of good sportsmanship\nand refuse to carry out some of the\norders to fire on non-combatant3,\nchurches and so on.\nItaly evidently has had enough of\nTurkey's traditional policy of delay\nand evasion lh International disputes.\nThe ultimatum which calls for com\nplete amends for tbe violation of the\nItalian consulate at Hodeida and for\na reply by Sunday puts the situation\nup to the porte In such a way as to\nleave little loophope for argument.\nIt Is one of the Ironies of fate which\nare pursuing the Prussian militarists\nthat the policy of \"attrition,\" which\nthey hoped would reduce tbe British\nnavy to such proportions that the\nkaiser's fleet might with some measure of safety engage It In battle, is\nbeing employed with real success by\nthe allies against their troops lu\nPrance and Belgium.\nThe Canadian Bank of Commerce\nstaffs tn various parts of Canada have\nmade a splendid response to calls for\nvolunteers for the Dominion contingents.

BOYD, Proprietor.\nHalcyon Arrow Lakes\nWARFARE METHOD8\nORIGINATED WITH FRANCE\nIn the warfare in Europe the leaders, schooled in modern methods of\nmaking war, have been taught the\nImportance of the decision-compelling\nspirit The long-drawn-out struggles\nwhich havo taken place have perhaps\nnot shown that they were able to act\nup to this principle with the success\nanticipated.\nThe origin of this principle -which\ncontrols In modern warfare Is seen by\nthe military authority writing In the\nFrench. revolutionary wars. France\nwas then at war against tho allied\nforces of England, Holland, Austria,\nPrussia, Spain and Sardinia. She had\nreorganized her armies and had Introduced thc division of armies into army\ncorps.\n\"This sub-division of forces was in\ntimately connected,\" says the Brit\nannlca, \"with the general method of\nmaking war adopted by the French.\nWhat astonished the allies most of all\nwas the number and tbe velocity of\nthe Republicans. These Improvised\narmies had in fact nothing to delay\nthem. Tents were unprocurable for\nwant of money, untransportable for\nwant of tho enormous number of\nwagons that would be required, and\nalso unnecessary, for tho discomfort\nthat would havo caused wholesale desertion In professional armies was\ncheerfully borne by the men of 1793-\n1794. Supplies for armies of then unheard-of size could not be carried In\nconvoyB, and the French soon became\nfamiliar with 'living on the country.'\n\"Thus 1793 saw the birth of the\nmodern system of war\u2014rapidity of\nmovement, full development, of na\ntlonal strength, bivouacs and requisitions and force, ns against cautious\nmaneuvering, small professional armies, tents and full rations and chicane.\nTho first represented tiie decision-\ncompelling spirit of riHklng little tn\ngain a little. Above all, the decision\ncompelling spirit was reinforced, by\ntho presence of tho emissaries of tin\ncommittee of public safety, the 'repre\nsentntlves of mission' who practically\ncontrolled tho guillotine. There were\ncivil officials with tho armies of the\nallies, too, but their chief function was\nnot to Infuse desperate energy into the\nmilitary operations, but to seo that\ntho troops did not maltreat civilians.\nSuch were tho fundamental principles\nof the 'New French' method of warfare, from which the warfare of today descends in tho direct line.\"\nENGLAND FOR EVER,\nMY LADS, WAS CRY\nNoble Spirit' That Routed Kaiser's\nGuards Is Described by Eyewitness,\n(Letter from Pte. S. A. Geary, R.A.\nM 0.) to his brother at Cotilsdon, Surrey.)\nI was near the trenches against\nwhich the kaiser sent his crack\nguards corps, the picked men of his\narmy. Thero were no files on them,\nI can tell you. They fought like d)\nmons; they charged our trenches a\nnumber of times, but they could no-\ndrive our chaps out.\nSeveral times they got right up lo\nthe trenches hut were hurled back\nby tho bayonet, and It Is no exarn.'\"-\natlon to say thousands of them were\nkilled. You must remember these\nwere fresh troops, who were not tired\nand worn out like ours. But it did not\nmatter to the boys of the old firm.\nOne young officer did a magnificent bit of work. Nothing could stop\nhim; he jumped out of his trench and\nyelled \"Old England forever! Follow\nme, lads.\" With half a company h?\ndashed forward lor quite 50 yards,\nand he and his men simply performed\nmiracles.\nAs I watched them I was spellbound. They seemed to possess superhuman strength. Caked from head to\nfeet In mud they presented the most\nfearful picture that could he imagined as they attacked like wild beasts.\nThe bLr Germans were rushing on\nfour to one, hut they could not beat\nour fellows back. Those who were no',\nkilled or wounded got away to shelter and our boys returned to their\ntrenches cheering and shouting. Five\nminutes later tho Germans came\nagain and again, ibut not a single man\ngot within 10 yards of tbe trenches.\nOne Incident of Many.\nThis was only one Incident In which\na handful ot men showed the Germans what our \"contemptible little\narmy\" can do. All along the line\nmany such acts were performed, nn-1\nthe next day Sir Douglas Uaiag Issued\nan ordo- thanking the men for the\nsplendid way in which they had resisted the German \"Swanky guards,\"\nand said their fighting was one ot the\nfinest records lu the annals of the\nISrltlsh army. ....\nAll the Infantry regiments out here\nhavo many times already crowned\nthemselves with glory, I have seen\nthe Devons, the West Konts, the\nQueens and the Wilts facing tremendous odds, audit some of those who\nare sitting by comfortable fireside:\nat home or are spending an evening\nat a picture .palace cheering war pictures, could realize what they have\ndone for our King and Umpire, they\nwould-come out like the Prince of\nWales and do their bit, ,\nKootenay and Boundary\nFarmer!

The whole subject has\nbeen under careful consideration and\ninvestigation by the government' pi\nCanada since tbe commencement of\nthe.war and they have been ln frequent communication with the British\ngovernment as to the precautions\nwhich should be taken to prevent ex\nport to Germany. The books of the\ncompany in New York are inspected\nat short intervals by a thoroughly\ntrained and experienced accountant\nwho goes Into all exports most thoroughly and reports to the Canadian\ngovernment. In addition to this by\nan arrangement between the company\nand his majesty's government certain\ncontrol is exercised In London\nthrough ithe company's British representatives. Tbe company is not un\nder German control but is controlled\naltogether in the United States, where\nthe vast majority of its stock is held.\nProhibition Not Necessary. -\nthere may be a few German shareholders, but tbe proportion Is insignificant and there is no German director.\nSteps which have been taken by the\ngovernment of Canada have the entire\napproval and sanction of the British,\ngovernment, who express themselves\nas entirely satisfied with tbe precautions that have been taken. It must\nbe borne in mind that the nickel exported from Canada to the United\nStates is used In a large number of\nindustries in that country and prohibition of the export, except for the\nmost urgent reasons, would be undesirable, as it would produce great business disturbance in a country whose\nsympathies are very strongly with tho\ncause of the allies. Moreover, tho\ngovernment is informed that there is\nan output of nickel In Norway con\ntrolled, by German Interests which\ncould furnish a sufficient Bupply lor\nGerman requirements during the present) war.\nPAY OF BRITISH OFFICERS\n-n'l II -\nKitehenV ll Obdurate and .Unyielding\n, Dvspit* Moat Oeenarate\n\u25a0>\u2022\u25a0\u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0\u2022\u2022- ; -Efforts.

I,4 1915, on condition that the\nwork of removing the poles in question: \"and placing the wires in underground conduits\" be commenced wjtlj-\nln 30 days'. '.. ,\nAt the sittings of the board in Calgary pn Nov. 26. last the, city called\nattention ,to the fact that,.while underground conduits were being constructed by the' city, the Calgary Power\nCompany was not'-puttlng .its wires, In\nthese conduits, although it .had an\nopportunity for doing so, but, was re-\nmqving the. wires, from the lanes upon\nwhich tho railway tracks were to; another street in the.,city of Galgary\nwhere there were no tracks of a street\nrailway. While admitting that, the\nproylslon of the general order as to\nthe clearance was. being complied\nwith by the. power rumpany, the city\ncontended that .the- company wa\u00ab not\ncomplying strictly , with the; order of\nJuly 18. The judgment says:.,\n\"I can quite, appreciate the desire\nof the city of Calgary to have as many\nof the existing, overhead. wires put\nunderground, as,possible; but the object of. the board ln dealing with this\nquestion was to \\ provide safety for\ntrainmen riding on outside ladders of\nbox-cars.- Since, that is being secured, by the removal of the poles that\nwere within 6 ft. of the tracks, it is\nnot the intention of the board on an\napplication of this\u25a0 kind to insist j on\nthe wires being placed. underground.\nThe city of Calgary admitted that\nunder a charter. from the city the\npower company had the right to move\nits wires as it is doing. If the city\ndesires to get the power wires underground that is a matter which would\nhave to be dealt with on its merits\nand could not be brought about by\nthe present application.
