It was\nonly natural, he said, that Liberal* of.\nfleers should be iri (ho majority. Tin\nLiberals had been .in power 16 years\nand it was but natural that a number\nof Liberal officers should come to the\nfront owing to their association with\nthe former ministry.\nMentioning medical officers moro\nparticularly, he said that of the 47 \u00aben-\nlor officers only four or five were Conservatives,\nLiberal* Got Moat Contracts.\nHe then turned to the matter of tho\nshell contracts and the organization of\nthe shell committee. As a preliminary\nho stated that four-fifths of the shell\ncontracts went to Liberals and seven-\ntmiths of the shelMiox contracts went\nto Liberals.\n.Referring to the shell committee ho\nsaid:\n\"It is my baby; 1 am the father of\nthe concern, be it for good or bad, and\n1 propose.to stick to it.\"~\nHe then proceeded to tell of the organization of the committee. On Aug.\n24, 1914, he had received a cable from\nthe war office asking if it would be\nposslblo to secure shells In the United\nStates or Canada. Jt struck him at the\ntime thnt Canadian firms could make\nshells, as lie had seen the work dono\nIn the arsenal at Quebec. A meeting of manufacturers was called at\nonce. Although It was a large meeting\nthero wore, only a few in attendance\nwilling to take tho risk of entering upon the new enterprise, owing to nervousness over capital. Iflven these\nfew would not consent until they had\nbeen taken rto Quebec t>nd shown how\nshells wero being made'there.\nCanadian Shells Cheaper.\nOn Hopt. 10, 1014, the war offico\nwas advised thnt Canada could supply 20,000 shells by Nov. 1, and 30,000\na month th'erea-ftcr. . * '     \u2022\nGen. Hughes 'declared that he had\nnot interfered with thegivilig of contracts, nor had Jm bad anything to do\nwith the setting of prices. Canadian\nmanufacturers eot no bonus or ensh\npayment. Thoy took many riskH and\nthey delivered the goods lower in\nprice than tiny other country excepting\nGreat ftritain.\nAs an example. Gen. Hughes rend a\nletter received from the Crucible Stool\ncompany, one of the large concerns of\nthe United States. This firm offered\nto deliver to the Canadian government\na large fjuantity\/of shells at $12 each,\nwhile Uie Canadian price at the time\nwas $8.5i> nnd SS.30.\nGen. HUghes said that on April 24\nhe had transmitted to him a cablo from\nLord Kitchener thanking Cnnndn for*\nits satisf.Tetory delivery of. shellsi Tt\nwas significant that thl\u00ab cable arrived\nwhen the third day's fighting at St.\n.luliei. was ou. He remarked inpfdent-\nally that during that battle a Canadian\nammunition corps commandeered some\n8000 shells it found back of the line.\n\u2666he corps discovered that they were\nCanadian shrapnel shells. They were\nused by Canadian gunners to help hold\nback 100,000 Gorman soldiers.\nManufacturers Were Nervous.\nGen. Hughes repeated, that \\n tho beginning manufacturers wore nervous\nat starting tho work of making shells.\nThey -were afraid that they would 'lose\nmoney at $B.fii> and to induce them to\nstart operations tho. prime minister\npromised that he would try to hnvej\nthem recouped If they lost money.\nLater the banks becahie more confident and soon every financier and promoter in the country wanted to start\nmaking shells. \"TSvery young barrister in the country came to Ottawa,\" he\nsaid, amidst laughter, \"with his bair,\nparted in tho middle and a pencil anijfl\npaper prepared to make shells. Doar\nold Gen. Bertram, soon got to size them\nup. The first question he asked waa,\n'Where is your machine shop?' This\nhad to bo inspected before any order\nwas given and it knocked modt of them\nout. I heard lots of rumors; I, heard\nas many hi an afternoon as ray dear\nfriend St. John recited in his whole\nspeech. He only touched the fringe of\nthem. I Investigated many, of these\nrumors and I challenged anyone to say\nthere is anything wrong. I am at\nGen, Bertram's back, morning, noon\nand night.\n1     Col. Cantlie Experiments.\n\"I may bo, a little erratic and all\nthat,\" -continued Gon. Hughes, rfso I\nalways consulted the prime minister I\nthought I could find a balance wheel\nin him. I was continually told that\nshells could not be made with basic\nsteel, that they had to be made with\nacid steel. I do not know much, aibout\nsteel; I could not understand this. So\nI went to the premier.   I said to him,\n'Who in  (laughter); Who ih Can\nada knows all about steel?'\".    ,   '\n'The house was etlll laughing and\nGen. Hughes remarked that he might\nhave said the otherXhing, too. The\nprime minister suggested to him the\nname of Col. Cantlie. ,\n\"I bunted him up,\" continued the\nspeaker, \"and asked hlmwhy basic\nsteel would not do. Hfr said that he\nwould experiment. He tested and ex-\n\u25a0 perimented nnd spent upward of\n$600,000 beforo he got any returns.\nFinally ho got what he wanted. Tests\nwero mode hero and in England.

Hughes roviewed the names of\nthe members of the shell committee.\nGenerals Bertram and Benson, he said,\nhe understood were Conservatives.\nCol. Cantlie, ho believed, was a supporter of B. AT. Macdonald. He had\nprobably voted both ways. Col. Lafferty was a Libera 1. Col. G eorge\nWatts, he, was told, waa a Liberal.\n\"J. W. Borden,\" ho said, \"belongs to\nthe   Liberal   branch   of   the   Borden\nIfamily.\"   There was loud laughter in\n\u2022\"which tlie premier joined.\nGen. Hughes said that he had quoted these names to show that he did not\nallow politics to Interfere with military matters. f\\t the opposition leader\nwould point out any member of his\nfollowing who wanted to go to the\nfront he would put him in uniform and\ngive him a chance.\n, Gen. Hughes said that for the first\norders for 18-pounders, tbo prico was\n$8.55 and machining at $fUr>. The\nsecond order for 400,000 completed\nshells was for ft! nnd the machining\n?3.S0. On subsequent orders tho nia-\nchining-was reduced to us low as $1.85.\nUe said that some of tlie firms ln the\nearly stages-spoiled 40 per cent of their\nshells. They took the risks and in\nmany cases lost money.\n\u00bb     Australians Learned Here\nHo asserted that sliellw were made\ncheaper in Canada than in the United\nStates. As - for Australia, all they\nItnew'about shell making was learned\nfrom the Canadian shell committee.\nExperts came here nnd saw how Canada did 11. They got the prices hero\nand fixed their price nt %\"* at a time\nwhen the Canadian price was *S.S0.\nHon. William i'ugsley\u2014Did not th'e\nAustralian shell include bullets?\nGen. Hughes\u2014That was not my information.\nMr. PugHloy\u2014Well, it is mine.\nCen, \" Hughes\u2014No, you are wrong.\nYou got your information from the\nLiberal Monthly. I got my Information from tho Australians who wero\nhere.\nCheaper Than  in   England.\nContinuing, the minister said that\ntho shells made in Canada were, with\nfeW exceptions, cheaper than tlioso\nmade in tho United Htntes or Great\nBritain, although no bonus was given\nin Canada but providing machines for\nmanufacturers ns was done in England. Canada had led tho way in\nquantity, in price and in driving force.\nTho machining of the 4.5-inch shells\ncost only $7.45 in Canada now \u00bbh compared with MO.'Ao In England1. The\nmachining ol* JS-pbunder shells was\nbeing* done for $1.8\") In Canada and\n$3.S1 In England.

If\nhe wished to read objections taken to\nIt\u2014objections with any cort of policy\nmight meet with, ho could road the\nAmerican notes to Great Britain, especially the lost note which had not yet\nlieen answered.\nIn this connection Sir Edward Raid\nthat consultation' wltb France was\nwith a view.to pursuing not merely\nthe same policy, but to Justify It i by\nthe same arguments and put the-samc\nease before the world    '\nOn tho general-Question heUaid'that\nthe government, was trying to avoid\nfriction with the peutrals by fllging\nagreements, not with the governments,\nbut with traders ^to facilitate\/discrimination between enemy and isenuine\ngoods. He laid siresB on'tho fact that\nBritain had a duty toward the allies In\nthis matter, although, he added, !had\nBritain had no allies doubtless it\nwould have done precisely the same\nthing. ,\nTask  Is Burdensome\nThe contraband committee, which\nIncludos two representatives^ of the\nadmiralty, the speaker said, liad dono\nIts work admirably and during the last\nyear there wero only three cases !n\nwhich ships were dealt with without\nconsulting, that committee.\nSir Edward said It was time these\nattacks ceased for they must have a\ndispiriting effect on tho navy, because\nthey led the navy to suppose its work\nwas being undone by finothor department.   Continuing, Sir Edward said:\n\"The task of the foreign office is a\nburdensomovone, It. has t,o do itR. best\nto retain tho good will nf neutrals and\nsecure that the sources of certain supplies for ourselves and our allies be\nnot cut Off.

Sayvllle,\nN. T.)\u2014An American in Oermany Is\nsoon aware that the obstacles in the\nway of mutual understanding between\nthe two nations are, iri the first place,\nthose of feelings, and, secondly, those\nof facts. The facts cannot he success,\nfully approached from either aide\nthrough on angry state of feelihg. This\nIs in danger of becoming a tense situ*\na tion.\nBeyond the circle of Germany's enemies are neutrals, meaning principally\nourselves. Communication between\nGermany and the United States must\npass through the hands of the censor\nor the hands of Germany's enemies.\nTbe only means of communication not\nphysically controlled by Great Britain.\nis the wireless arid messages by wireless are audible to the whole world,\nEngland knows every word that passed.\nTherefore a message from Germany\nto tbe United Stales has to Ibe considered In three terms\u2014namely, its effect upon the Englttm mind, it* reixc-\ntion upon tho German mind as it will\nbe tauntingly construed In- the English\npress, and, lastly, its effect upon the\nAmerican mind.\nDiscrimination Charged.\nBy wireless, it is true, the German\ngovernment may communicate with Its\nambassador in Washington Ih a private code known only .to the American\ngovernment, but as all other governments may communicate by cable in\nabsolutely secret code,- the German\ngovernment feels that to be alone deprived of that same privilege is an unfair discrimination.\nThis, therefore,. is an obstacle that\ncombines both fact and feeling, and If\nyou -will add thereto the misfortune\nthat the German government thinks It\nhas reasdn to distrust the neutrality\nof the United States, you will see how\nserious it is. We need not Inquire\nwhether the German government is\njustified in regarding America's neutrality with reservations; the doubt\nexists and hinders every approach to\nan understanding. The reason for denying tb,fe iGeirmun government the\nprivilege of using a secret code by\nwireless was In the beginning,, that it\nmight communicate In that way with\nIts ships at sea; but the German government thinks that if this reason were\never valid it has ceased to be, as there\nare no more German ships upon the\nsea.\nAttitude Misunderstood.\nIt would be bard to say at this mo*\nment whether Germany misconceives\nlite American mind more than the\nUnited States misconceives tbe Ger.\nman mind. On both aides a, great majority of the average people and of men\nIn responsible places very earnestly\nwish peaceful relations between the\ntwo countries lo remain undisturbed..\nI am as sure of that In Germany as\nI was- sure of it six weeks ago in the\nUnited States, and yet In tho last few\ndays some very eminent German men,\nIncluding one of the most powerful\nbankers In the empire, bavc said to me\ndespondently, almost despairingly,that\nthe only conclusion open to them was\nthat President Wilson was resolved to\nforce war upon Germany. By that you\nmay measure .the depths, of the misunderstanding. . *,\nA Political Divergence,\nPreposterous as tills German con-\n(\u2022option of the American attitude must\nseem to Americans, It Is, from this\npoint of view, no more so than the\nAmerican conception of the German\nattitude toward the United States. It\nis a pacific attitude, and that it has\nnot been differently expressed is awing to tlie fear that to express It in\nany less formal manner would betray\ntbe world into errors of judgment as\nto tbo conditions that exist within the\nfortress.\nThose conditions are much stronger\nthan tho world believes.\nIt seems easier for Germany to understand ber enemies than to comprehend tho American point of view. 1\nrecently spent two hours with one of\nthe' highest officials of the German\ngovernment, who said at least:\n\"Nobody has told us these things\nbefore. It Is u, pity we did not have\nthat kind of insight sooner,\" and T told\nhim only what every American knows,\nnamely, tho si mplo-reasons why American feelings and sympathies aro anti-German, and that our sympathies\nspring from a deep political faith\nwhich another people may understand\neven while disagreeing with; it. The\nproblem is not that Germans' and\nAmericans think differently so much\nas that each aide has, mistaken the\nsignificance of the other's thoughtst\nand for that reason lias been unable to\nrespect them. ,\n\u00bb 4 44 4 * e \u00bb\u25a0>!.* > > * M Mill 4$ \u00bb#\u25a0<\nIfaotenag and Boundary\niMllllllll.Mllnai mniiiii!!.!, a\n )IIIIIIH .,\nROSSLAND NEWS\nPatient (mournfully)\u2014I'm atruid,\ndoctor, from what you've salt! there\nvery Iittl6 hope for.me.\nThe Spesoialist\u2014'Nonsense!

Ho said he would not mind\nthis so much if .clean men were put in\ncharge of military affairs. But this\nwas not always the'easfe, The organ\nof the prime minister at Halifax'the\nother day'contained on Its front page\ntrio picture of a irtait wh\" had been\ngiven the title of major and who\nwould later \u25a0bo'Jglyeii the command of\na battalion.

He\nwould never forget the deep emotion\nthat stirred thbso people at that time,\nthe wave of passion that swept over\nthat gathering and the determination\nwhich moved every heart and mind to\nsee tills war .through to the end, no\nmatter what It cost.

Lecturing here, as he plans\nto do, on English literature, he can\nhave nothing to offer more amazing\nthan the tale of his own rise, in let-'\ntors. For he who a little more than\n20 years ago, was a handy boy, washing glasses and cleaning out In a\nwest-Side barroom, has come back to\nNew York, a singer whose songs are\nknown to two hemispheres.\nJoseph Conrad went to sea and revealed himself a'great teller of stories,\nproving the World to be a romance to.\nthe right kind of rover. Masefield ran\naway to be a sailor and In due season\nshowed himself a poet, both \u2022 born and\nmade, .who could find songs and phil\nosophy alike In -the rough tossing of\nthe waters and the rough hearts of\nmen.\nThese two writers, one of prose and\none of verse, have in common the faculty of seeing beneath the obvious\nfacts of. life and- action. \"When he\nwasn't working,\" says Masefield's former employer, \"he stuck to his room\nall the time; reading books.\" But this\ndoes not explain tho poet. Before he\ncame to the books, he had' learned to\nread things not to be set In type.\nNew York Sun.\nOUT Oi BONDAGE\nAWE   GRIP\" XND   PNEUMONIA\n\u2022     KIN\"?\n\u2666'\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2666\u2666\u2022\u2022-\u00bb ?*\u25a0*+*\nWhat, is the-relation between grip\nand pneumonia? Doctor . Emerson,\ncommissioner of health In New York,\nhas lately advanced the theory that\nthe epidemic which in sweeping the\ncountry''is not our old acquaintance,\nthe inflnenze or grip, but a pro'duct of\nthe, pheumo-coccus germ of. pneu-'\nnaoni ; Other authorities have declared that thegrlp shows itself in four .or,\nmore very -different' forms, according\nas it attacks ' throats, lung, nerves,\ndigestive tract, etc. Which view is\ncorrect? Does\/me disease take such\n{protean forms, or Is the peculiar character ascribed to this year's visitation,\nincluding a tendency to pneumonia,\ndue to the fact that the penumo-coc-\ncus is specially prevalent?\nWhatever the relations\/between grip\nand .pneumonia,- the increased death\nrate this winter is a reminder tnat\npneumonia Is one of the greatest perils that beset the elderly and even\nthose in the prime of strength who\n\u25a0neglect elementary precautions. Are\npeople nowadays as careful as their\ngrandfathers You'll catch your death\no' cold\"was Ihe warning of accumulated experience which needed no scientific foundation. Science, indeed, has\nbecome, a little less confident. When\nIt began to learn about bacteria lt became prematurely convinced that its\nknowledge was adequate. It regarded\npneumonia as a product of specific ex-\n'pc-su're like smallpox or scarlet fever,\n\u2022and scouted the popular notion that a\n\"cold\" could develop it. More ia known\nnow of the great' prevalence of the\npnuerao-coccus and the conditions under which it may. break through nature's defenses, but perhaps the defence of vigilance and fear of the unknown has; been relaxed\u2014Springfield,\nMass., Republican.\nFORMAL BLOCKADE CONSIDERED\nTT      \u2022 liy PRACTtCABLE\nThe British government's attitude\nupon the blockade question is that the\npresent system. Is enabling the navy\nto inflict the maximum damage that\nis practicable upon enemy ocean trade\nwith' a minimum of hardship upon\nneutrals:       , \" \u25a0 *'\"\nThe paragraph of'Sir Edward Grey's\nspeech in which. he says that a formal\nblockade of the; enemy, which would\ninvolve a Virtual blockade of neutral\nports,'is not possible contains the gist\nof , the whole, matter; as the. British\ngovernment sees It.     -; '\u2022 |\nBy virtue of the doctrine of,continuous voyage .President Lincoln enforced a blockade against goods de\nsigned to reach the - South, but consigned   to 'neutral  ports,  during the\nAmerican civil war.   Sir Edward Grey\ndeclares  that  doctrine  is  being en\nforced under- the existing system.   He\nsuggests that a blockade would give\nno greater' advantage.\n\u25a0\u25a0 The chief argument in favor of a\nformat and effective blockade Is .that\nita legality  could  not  be  questioned:\nand it would carry with it^the penalty of confiscation, which would teiid\nstrongly   to   discourage   attempts; to\nbreak   through   the  blockading   fleet.\nSir Edward Groy considers it impracticable^ in view of   all   the   circumstances.\nr:\nA  BLOW TO THE  HUNS.\n:s\n\u00bb\u00bb\u2666>\u2666\u00bb \u00bb-\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u00ab>\u00bb\u00ab\u25a0\u2666 \u00bb\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u00ab!\n\"I promise, in memory of those who\nhave died for me, never to trade with\nGermany or with any Germans, as long\nas I live.\" THIh Is the inscription on\na little lapel badge that Is being worn\nby many thousands In the old Country.\nIt is the voicing of a sentiment that\nis felt, throughout tMe British Empire.\nIf we deal with Germans, we aid them\nto finance this war against us.

Some of these\nhave already heen found and turned\nto account bin a good many havo not\nbeen systematically looked for or evon\nrecognized when found.\nThe\/ peculiar- value and importance\nof somo of these minerals In these war\ntimes Is their utility In hardening\nsteel for. war purposes, others nro of\ngeneral commercial, scientific and\nsometimes medical use. Amongst\nthese we may enumerate a few:. Antimony, bismuth, platinum, molybdenum,\ntungsten, vanadium, chromato of Iron\nand manganese.\nAntimony Is not so very uncommon\nand occurs In many of the mines of the\nUnited States and has no doubt been\nrecognised hero and there ln some of\nthose of Canada and British Columbia.\nMagnificent crystals of antimony are\nsometimes to be seen in large minora-\nlogical museums. They are several\ninches in length and a group of them\nresemble a number of steel bayonets\nor the polished barrels of revolvers.\nThese obme from Japan. Antimony is\na steel-grey mineral sometime* occurring in fibrous crystals or in masses,\ngrains or flakes or Impregnating sche-\nstone roqks. It takes a chemical test\nto distinguish it from other minerals\nIt resembles. It is largely used in type\nmetal and in Babbitt metal for axle\nwheels and electric motor-cars, also iii\nglass and rubber manufacture.!\nBismuth is not unlike antimony but\nrarer. It has a peculiar property of\nlowering the melting point of alloys.\nA property utilized in automatic\nsprinklers against fires In department\nstores. It is also, used In medicine as\na tonic, also as a cosmetic and in dentistry.\nQuicksilver in America Is distilled by\nheat from a beautiful rose-colored ore\ncalled cinnabar, found1 in California,\nNevada and Arizona, also in Spain.\nThero is no geological reason why lt\nmight not bo, found in British\nColumbia.\nFerrp tungsten, or tungstate of Iron\nI* nn | intensely hard, black or dark\nbrown mineral, which may occur here\nand there in patches In a quartz vein.\nIt rls usod for hardening armor piercing projectiles and tho plates of battleships. In the United States lt In\nvalued at from $6 to $60 per unit of\n20 pounds. It is quite likely to be\nfound in the mines of British Columbia\nIf searched.for.    '\nMolybdenite, although occurring\nsparingly and scatterlngly in scheiton*\nor Igneous rocks, is not very uncommon and on Sheep Creok^* near Salmo,\nB. c\u201e a few miles from Kelson, are\nsome important nnd promlsttig-'detibsits\nIn process of development.-:1\nMolybdenite is a silvery-white, 'shining, soft metal, occurring In flakes and\ngrains commonly permeating, achiatone\nrocks. Its composition Is molybdic\nacid and iron: it is a molybdate of\niron. It resembles graphite but is\nmore silvery and lustrous. It ia. used\nin making smokeless powder, \"steel,\nelectric light bulb and ih dyeing. According to A. B. Frenzol, commissioner\nof rare minerals for Colorado, In an\narticle In the Mining American,, of\nDenver, Colo,, new. processes for .concentrating and treating molybdenite\nhave recently been discovered by\" Denver parties. A recent 'v&liuinTeVhapJ for\nmolybdenite has been' found'as a'sUb-\nstltuto for the rare nnd costly metal\nplatinum, valued at- from $20 to $65\nan ounce. Illie principal supply of this\nmetal wns from tho Ural mountains in\nRussia, which has been out 'off since\nthe war. British Columbia ha's shown\nconsiderable platinum in the,rplean.-\nups of Its placer gold mine*, it hits\nalso the honor of beliig the qnly region\nln which platinum has heen found in\nplaces in certain varieties of igneous\nrock, but not in sufficiently '\/concentrated quantity as to be mined or to\nbe of commercial value. By: eareful\nhandling of the clean-ups of -placers\nIn- this province wo may annually recover a few ounces of this exceedingly\nscarce and valuable mineral, ,'-,'^ i\nTin is a much to bo desired, but rare\nmetal in America. ' There Is oiily qne\nproducing tin mine in North America\nand that is at El Paso, Tcxaai'i small\nmine outputting a tevr- ingots, annually.

Frank\nGotoh started the wrestling, disruption\nwhen he retired with his \"title -to his\nfarm in Iowa just after he had sue\nceBSfully defended his crown against\nHackenschmldt in their famous\u2014or in\nfamous\u2014match in American league\nibaseball park in Chicago.\nWho Gotch Named.\nAfter his retirement Gotch named\nHtenry Orderman and Jess Wester-\ngaard as the logical contenders for the\nthrone he vacated, just as Jim Jeffries selected Tommy Burns and Mar-\n\u25a0vin Hart to fight for the world's\nheavyweight title when he left the\nring.\nOrderman and Westergaard met,\nwith Gotch refereeing, and Orderman\nwas the victor. The match started\nthe process of succession by which\nLewlB asserts he succeeded to the\nchampionship. '\nBilly Sandow, Lewis' manager, discussing and supporting his protege's\nclaims, said: \"Orderman, by defeating\nWestergaard, succeeded to Gotoh's\ntitle. Now I will show you how Lewis\ncomes by his claim to it.\nAfter Oderman won from Westergaard-, he was matched with Charlie\nCutler in a bout advertised as a championship affair. They met in Minneapolis and Cutler won, throwing Orderman twice In 37 minutes\n\"Then Cutler met Dr. Roller at Ben\nton Harbor, Mich., with Ed. Smith as\nreferee. Cutler was then regarded as\nthe champion by virtue of his victory\nover Orderman. Roller beat Cutler,\nregistering two falls In lens than an\nhour.\n\"Roller then met Lewis ln defense\nof his world's title. They faced each\nother twice in championship matches\nat Wheeling; Va, Roller won the first\nmatch and retained the championship,\nbut ln their second contest Lewis was\nthe victor. Carl Stein refereed both\nbouts.\nLewis defeated Roller two out of\nthree falls. This was last May. Lewis\nwon the first fall In less than an hour.\nThen Roller threw Lewis in 22 minutes. Lewis came back and won the\nthird and championship-deciding fall\nin 14 minutes.     x\n\"After defeating Roller and winning\nthe title, Stecher challenged Lewis.\nThey met at Evansvllle, Ind., last October, Bert Sclsson was the third man\nIn the ring.
