As Nell Carroll in this thrilling comedy-drama,\nMiss Dawn does the best work of her\nmotion picture career, far eclipsing\napytbing that she has ever done.\nIn addition to tho far-famed Dawn\nsmile and the personality that has enchanted her audiences, Huvsel Dawn\ndisplays a snap and dash in her portrayal of the girl detective that is\ncaptivating and delightful. Nell Carroll\nis a southern girl of good birth and\nfine breeding, who suddenly discovers\nthat* her ohl, home in mortgaged to\nthe limit midJW'lIlbe.lost.if she cannot\nraise tho 'monoy to meet the- obligation;;. She has never been trained for\nany specific work, but finally obtains\nemnloyment in a detective agency.\nSeveral big robberies have been committed on the huge summer estates in\none of tbe fashionable summer colonies\nand tbe agency is requested tn handle\nthe case. It is evident, that it is an\n\"Inside\" job\u2014'that Is, that someone In\nthe household, either a servant or a\nKtiest, Is doing the stealing. There, is\nonly ono way to work against such\npeople, and that is to fight them from\ntho inside. Accordingly, Nell Carroll\nis sent to the town whero she is heralded in tho papers as the Baroness\nDu Vassey. Mrs, De Veaux, whoso\nhome seems the logical place for the\nnext big haul, calls upon tho \"baroness\" and invites her to her houso, little suspecting that sho is a detective.\nIn a very short time tbe girl finds\nstrung evidence that point to Mrs. Do\nVeaux's own son, Toddy, as tbe thief.\nDespite the. fact that she Is becoming\ngreatly interested in him, she decides\nlo do her duty and lays a trap for\niilm. Meanwhile Reno Lldal, the real\ncrook, becoming suspicious of tho au\ntlientlcity of Nell's title, decides to\noutface her, and presents himself at\nthe De Veaux homo as the Baron Du\nVassey Hoist by her own petrad! Nell\ndoes not know whether she has stumbled upon a real iiame in selecting the\n\"baroness'\" title or whether she is fae\ning another Impostor.

Premier Asqulth'a\nannouncement Tuesday ' is ibeing followed . by the introduction of the\nnecessary legislation.\n\u25a0 The step Is not unexpected. The\npartial compulsory service plan made\neffective\" some months ago to apply\nto single men was generally believed\nto be the forerunner of .similar measures upon a broader scope.\n..rThere will be opposition. But probably lt will be more remarkable for\nits' noise*,than , for Its substance. The\n\u2022government has the -btae unanswerable'\nargument\u2014necessity. If necessity\nknows no law, it certainly recognizes\nno theories, however potent they may\nlie'tinder normal conditions. If Great\nBritain needs more men than it can\nsecure by voluntary service it follows\nas a matter of course that some other\nsystem should be adopted. In Canada recruiting shows no signs of\nfalling off, the numbers of men joining are increasing rather than decreasing, but if the necessity for compulsion should arise iu this country\nthere are few who would accept the\nalternative of a German victory.\nEXTENDING THE INDUSTRIAL\nUSE OF AIR\nThe use of air tor cooling or heating and for cleaning purposes is being rapidly extended in industrial\nplants. In an interesting article in\nthe Chicago Factory, II. F. Porter\npoints out that a jet of water Is capable of cooling or cleaning, but its\naction is limited to materials which\nwill not be injured by moisture, and it\nrequires provisions for drainage. Air,\non the other hand, will clean or cool\na batch of dough or a chunk of steel\nwith equal facility. A steam-jet, too,\ncan accomplish many things by direct\naction, but who wants to work around\none? Air is obviously in a class by\nitself, for such purposes. In at least\none machine-shop, air-jets aro employed on cutting tools, in lieu of oil\nor \"soda-water, to keep both tool and\nwork cool.\n(Air, again, in a German factory,\nhas been found to solve the problem\nof graduated hardening of steel. By\ncarefully. spacing the nozles the degree of hardening may be graded\n| quite accurately.\ntFpr reaching dirt and dust In the\nI hidden recesses of machines and\nproduct, nothing equals a blast of air\nttom, .. a well directed nozzle.\nI Vucuura: cleaners are all right for flat\nI -surfaces, and hence excellent for\nfloors, tables and benches, but it\ntakes a Jet with plenty Of pressure\n1 behind it to remove oily particles and\nI --negotiate the irregularities qf motors\nj and machines.

It is of the utmost importance that that great problem should\nhe considered in an atmosphere free\nfrom bias and prejudice, not by \"raging, tearing propagandas\" .but by cool\nand deliberate calculation. Above all\nit is essential that neither on our side\nnor on the sldo of the dominions should\nthero be any tendency to dictate to\nthe other side or take part in the controversies on \"internal policy.

Feyler, the Swiss military writer,\nsays: \"the German staff will not end\nthe Verdun action until it has exhausted- all .ofi its resources -for gaining\nwhat may pass for success at home.\"\nThat is,, the German staff Is reduced to\nthe necessity of wasting armies merely for tho sake of prestige at home.\nThe original blow at Verdun may have\nbeen meant to impress neutrals as well\nas the German people, but now the\nkaiser and his military advisers must,\nat all military cost, get something that\nlooks like reasonable success.\nWhen the main object of employing\nmilitary forces Is not first and chiefly\nmilitary advantage, but the keeping\nup of a brave front .before tho people\nat home, the result is usually disastrous, it was so in the war of 1870-71\nwhen tho armies of MeMobon were\nmaneuvered under instructions from\nNapoleon, not for military safety or advantage, but for political effect upon\nthe French people. Tho allies could\nnot ask for fighting on better conditions for them than a continuance of\nthe German stuffs sacrifice of huge\narmies for the sake of prestige, Germany will 'be strong enough upon the\ndefensive in any case when once it Is\nforced there in tho plain view of the\nGerman masses.

C,\nMay 7.\u2014With the triple purpose of\nsecuring within the British Empire a\nsupply of potash and iodine for imperial uses, of providing cheap fertilizer for the farmers of the province\nand of building up an industry which\nwould result in the employment of\nlargo numbers of men and the production of much wealth from one of\nBritish Columbia's natural resources\nwhich at present Is largely undeveloped, the provincial government is doing all in its power to encourage the\nupbuilding of the kejp-eutting and refining industry. A shortage of potash\nhas resulted from the supply from\nGermany being cut off by the war. ,\nMillions of tons of kelp, a form of\nseaweed which exists in great groves\nin the sea adjacent to tho British\nColumbia mainland and island coast,\nare available. Capital to establish the\nIndustry is needed and for some time\nthe government has beon endeavoring\nto induce moneyed men to go into the\nbusiness. Since the Kelp Reduction\nWorks act was passed last year and\nwhich, among other things, provided\nfor reducing the license fee from $100\nto $5 per annum, a company has established a factory at Sidney on Vancouver island and has met with sufficient success to cause It to decide\nto enlarge Its capacity from 12 to 60\ntons per day.\nFrom the kelp is secured chiefly\npotash but thore are valuable byproducts in tho form of iodine, sodium\nsalts and the dried desiccated weed,\nwhich can be used for filling mattresses and simitar purposes.\nPotash, in the form of potassium\nchlorate, is one of the essential ingredients of many forms of explosives.\nIt is used largely by druggists and it\none of tho most valuable of fertilizers,\nHon. W. R. Ross has before tV.o\nlegislature a bill which -jxtends for\nanother year the inducements offered In the kelp works act to capitalists to establish works in this province*' -and both the minister and\nMichael Manson, member for Comox,\nspoke of the importance of building\nup this, new industry in British\nColumbia. H. C. Brewster also supported the measure. Parker Williams\nopposed the general principal of\nlicensing industries on the ground\nthat thoy tended to restrict competition. Mr. Brewster pointed 'out that\nono advantage of building up the kelp\nreduction works industry would be to\nremove kelp from fishing grounds\nwhere it at present created havoc\namong fish traps. He personally had\nhad the experience, he said, of having an $8000 fish trap made useless\nby kelp.\nSince the outbreak of the war the\nvnlno of potash has soared from $60\nto $200 per ton. This is due to the\nfact that it Is only in Germany that\nlarge deposits of free potash are being worked. Iodine has also become\nscarce as a result of the supply from\nGermany having been shut off. If\nBritish Columbia can build up a kelp\nreduction industry It will be able to\nInsure the Empire against a potash\nor Iodine shortage.\nTRACTOR FLYER TO\nCARRY 12 PASSENGERS\nANDERSON, Ind.\u2014A local manufac\nuring concern announces the completion of a 300-horsepower trl-plane\nflying machine, which is designed to\ncarry 12 passengers, and to travel at a\nmaximum speed of fl8 miles an hour.\nTho aeroplane is lo be known as the\n\"transcontinental tractor type .\" Its\nthree planes cacn measure 67 feet from\ntip to tip.

At all these camps and lazarets, except Wurzb'urg (where on acT\ncount of unlimited time it was not\npracticable,) tbe visits were made entirely without previous announcement,\nand in each case ample opportunity\nwas given to speak with the prisoners\nIn private.\nRegarding Ingelstadt, Mr. Dresel\nsays: The conditions nt fort No. 9 do\nnot appear to be as satisfactory as in\nNo. 8. There ds some evicj-jnee of\ndampness, the walls of one of the\nrooms, where part of the officers live,\nshowing occasional patches of moisture and the sound of dripping water\nwas in places audible. Tho vaulted\nhalls from which the rooms open are\ndark and cold, and the whole atmosphere Is somewhat depressing. The\n\u25a0officers cook, eat, wash and sleep in\nthe same rooms. Following the visit\nto these forts, representations were\nmade personally at Munich to the Bavarian war ministry, and Mr. Drcsel\nsays the officers spoken with at the\nministry of war expressed themselves\nas entirely (willing to meet any reasonable requests mad6 by the American embassy, on the ground that information had been received of excellent treatment of prisoners In England.\nReporting on his visit to the prisoners' detention camp at Nurnberg, Mr.\nDresel says, of.the 3300 prisoners now\ndetained here, out of a total capacity\nof 4000, 46 are British. Tho conditions\nwere found to bo still good. Sergeant\nTate, tho ranking non-commissioned\nofficer who occupies a separato \u25a0 room\nwith five senior French non-commissioned officers, and who by his attitude\nand efforts for betterment is setting a\nfino examplo to the men, reported tho\nrelations with tho camp authorities as\nexcellent, and tho cxlstenco of only a\nfew minor grounds of complaint.\nAl.Hdmmelburg, Mr. Dresel says, the\ncamp Is situated somo 2500 feet above\nsea level, about two miles from the village of the same name, in the picturesque valley of thp Saale, some 20\nmiles from Kissinger), with which,\nhowever, it is not connected by rail,\nThe camp inelosure Is situated on\nsloping ground at the northerly and\nhighest extremity of a largo military\nreservation extending several miles in\nboth directions, and affords a wide\nand striking view of the surrounding\ncountry. The air is mountalneous and\nbracing.\nThe camp buildings consist of the\nusual type of wooden huts, constructed\nsince the war, each built to contain 300\nmen. At present under 2000 are quartered there, iwlth an average of 160 to\neach hut. The organization is in seven\ncompanies, noramlly of 500 men each,\nbut there are no fences or divisions as\nin some camps, between the different\ncompanies. The 72 British on the rolls\nof tho camp, most of whom have only\nbeen detained there slnco last autumn,\nsleep all together in one of the barracks.. The ventilation wos good, and\nthere was somo complaint of cold at\ntimes, though there are stoves in each\nbarrack. The commandant promised\nthat attention would be given to this.\nThe bathing quarters are modern,\nclean and well arranged, with 25 showers, a weekly bath being compulsory.\nThe canteen post office and package\narrangement appeared satisfactory, but\napparantly the packages received, due\nprobably to the recent date of the\ntransfer of the greater part of the\nBritish there, were not so numerous\nas In most camps. For presumably\nthe same reason the clothing and shoes\nof some of the prisoners were not\nentirely satisfactory.\nThe Landau camp was visited for the\nfirst time on Feb. 27, 1916. Landau, a\ntown of some 17,000 Inhabitants in the\nBavarian Palatinate, lies in a vino-\ngrowing and agricultural ^ country,\nwhere somo manufacturing is also carried on. Tho camp is situated on the\noutskirts of the town on rising ground,\nwhenco a good view of the Hardt and\nVosges mountains is obtained. Tha\ncamp contains 12 barracks of the usual\nwooden construction, about 200 feet hy\n30 feet arranged in parallel rows, and\neach built to contain 250 men. At\npresent, only 1400 prisoners, divided\ninto six companies, and including nine\nBritish non-commissioned officers and\n16 privates, are detained there.\nAs a whole the camp made a very\nfavorable impression and the relations\nbetween the military authorities and\nprisoners aro good. As ;at Hammel-\nburg, which it resembles in many particulars, a difficulty is tho need of a\nsufficient exercising ground. Urgent\nrepersentations as to this tack were\nmade to the commandant, Lieutenant-\nColonel Krauter, who promised that\nattention would be given to the matter.\nSome other requests of a minor nature\nwere granted at once by the commandant, who laid stress on' the\nfaqt that every prisoner was allowed\nat all tlmcH to come to him personally\nwith complaints, and who appears to\nshow real interest In improving gen-\noral conditions.\nPITIFUL PLIGHT OF\nBELGIANS GIVEN IN REPORT\nNo document or report ever given\nto the public Is more replete with\nheart-rending- details and pictures of\nmisery and privation than tho statement of conditions existing in. Belgium\nas given by Mr. F. G. Walcott, who\ninvestigated the conditions in the\nmartyrod country on behalf of the\nRockefeller Foundation.\nMr. Walcott, tells of tho scant meals\nwhich the Belgian Relief Commission\nhas; been forced to hand out to these\nBelgians who face starvation and he\ndescribes the efficient manner in which\nthe committee has made its meagre\nsupplies bring the most results.\n.Tho regular dally ration for those\nheroic women, wives of equally heroic\nsoldiers\u2014some of them widows\u2014and\ntheir emaciated, weeping children,\nconsists now of three slices of bread\nand one pint of soup. More would be\ngiven if possible but that more must\ncome from the generosity of Americans, Canadians and others who can\nhelp.\nMany of tho relief depots are able\nto accomodate only '50 people at a\ntime and Ion-? quoues stand outside\nthe stations nearly all the time. Thei**e\nare seven millions of people in Belgium\nto bo fed and three millions of them\nare destitute, and of these some aro\nobliged to stand in line for three and\nfour hours daily to obtain this meagre\nration.\n\"Almost one half of the population\nof Belgium,\" says Mr. Walcott, \"which\nhas been deprived of all industry by\nthe invading army, have been reduced\nto this existence of dally waiting in\nline for a starvation ration,\"\nIn the hour of prosperity that is\nCanada's the Belgian Relief Committee\nof 59 St. Peter Street, Montreal, is\nappealing to Canadians to relievo these\nterrible conditions. The committee\nfeels that these Canadians who are not\nat the front or not assisting the Allies\nin somo way will at least give their\nbit toward keeping from starvation tho\nwomen and children of the brave men\nwho are fighting our battles In Europe.\nContributions aro received also In\nNolson at the Dally News office.\nWILL INTRODUCE MEAT\nCARDS IN BAVARIA\nMUNICH, Gormany\u2014According to a\nrecent announcement in the Bavarian\nDiet by Baron von Soden, minister of\nthe interior, the authorities are about\nto introduce meat cards in Bavaria.\nThe innovation, the minister declared,\nwas not dictated by necessity, but was\nmerely designed to guarantee their\nholding out with the stocks available.\nAt the present time, he said, Bavaria\nwas exporting three times as much\nmeat and cattle ,as before the war, but\nthanks to official supervision that had\nbeen instituted the rearing of cattle\nhad not been unduly impaired. Fortunately Bavaria had not, like the rest\nof -Germany, joined in the wholesale\nreduction of the stock of pigs, but\nherds of cattle, on the other hand, had\nbeen greatly reduced. Meanwhile the\ninstltutiou of \"meatless days\" had\ndone Uttlo to solve the difficulty, and\nthere were mony obstacles in the way\nof exereislng compulsion over households, as official supervision was well\nnigh impossible.\nIt therefore appeared preferable,'\nfrom the social, ns well as from every\nother point of view to introduce a system of rationing -Meat cards however,\nwould not, like the bread cards, entitle\nthe holder to the quantity specified,\nns it would not be possible to ascertain\nso exactly In the case of grain the\ntotal quantity of meat available.\nTho minister remarked in conclusion\nthat a distribution of meat throughout\nthe empire, on as uniform a basis as\npossible, was doslrable, and stated that\nthe various federal states had largely\nbeen consulted with that end in view.\nGERMAN FOOD PRICES.\nBERLIN.\u2014In consequence of the rise\nin tho price of raw materials required\nfor the manufacture of margarine and\nedible fats, an order has been issued\nraising the wholesale price of margarine to 1.83 marks a pound and that\nof edible fats to 2.15 marks a pound.\nThe retail price is fixed at 2 marks\nand 2.32 marks respectively. In Berlin recently the maximum price of potatoes was fixed at 6:5 pfennigs a\npound.\nJohn Burns & Sons GerdBcu0Srrs\nSA8H AND DOOR FACTORY.

F..Mitchell at the regular monthly meeting of\nthe Robson Farmers' institute Thursday evening. Tho speaker pointed out\nthat thero were three ways of soiling\nfruit, through the unions, to private In-,\ndividual**, and to -jam factories. In\nmany cases there was a wide range of\nprices received through these three\nmediums. An advantage to tho shipper\nwas more often to be had by shipping\nto Individuals but this was a most limited means as comparatively few\nranchers were able to find their own\nmarkets. Statistics compiled for 11)15\nshowed that [bettor prices prevailed\nlast year through the unions, so that\nthis medium of disposing of th.e fruit\ncrop was fast becoming tbo leading\none. Reference was made to the advantages to be derived from selling\nthrough the Okanagan United Growers,\nas many communities wero at present\ndoing.

One of the others tried,\nand could not find the target. Mr.\nJohnston took note of the direction of\nthe wind, and judged Its velocity. He\nthen aimed not at the target, but at a\ntree quite distant from the target. Tho\nfirst shot netted him an Inner, and the\nrest of his shots found a lodging in\nthe bull's eye. lt was this quick wit,\nand keen judgment that made him, as\nhe was, the terror of competitors on\nthe range.\nHere he rests in tho quiet spot\nthrough which he walked many times\nin the days of his pilgrimage; rests\nwith every sign of devoted attendance\nabove him, a well kept plot, and a\nmassive tombstone, as If to indicate\nthat there Is long before he will be\nforgotten. Yet such deeds as his\nshould not be left in the cold care of\ngranite or marble to remember, they\nshould be enshrined on the living\nmemory of those to whom he brought\nhonor, and should be passed by them\nto their children for sacred keeping.\nDOLLAR MEANS LIFE\nTO THE BELGIANS\nBelgian Relief Committee Continues Its\nAppel for Food for\nDestitute\nMONTREAL, May 7\u2014While England, th\u00a9 States and Canada have done\nmuch In the way of contributions to\nthe relief work that is being conducted\namong the destitute people of Belgium\na report from Mr. Herbert Hoover, the\nhead of the commission in charge of\nrelief, shows that approximately 50\nper cent of the relief given has come\nfrom Belgians and Belgian Institutions\nabroad.\nThis is conclusive evidence that\nthese Belgians who can are assuming\ntheir share In the burden of caring for\nthe needy in their devastated country.\nWith this In mind the Belgian Relief Committee of Montreal has assumed that Canadians are willing to\nbear with their allies a part of the\ncare of the wives and chitdren of those\nnoble men who so heroically sacrificed\nall in the first days of August, 1014.\nFrom the committee rooms, 50 St.\nPeter Street, a new call has gone out.\nBelgium Is again on the verge of starvation. The committee asks Canadian\nmen and women to do something-\nsome little thing\u2014that will mean so\nmuch to these people, whose comfortable home are now but meagre shelters\nand whoso plentiful tables havo become bare.\nThe dally sustenance of nearly seven\nmillion of these women and children\nIs three slices of bread and a pint o:\nsoup and now conditions threaten to\neven reduce that. Canada Is asked to\nhelp, asked to save the lives of these\npeoplo, who will otherwise die of\nstarvation.\nA dollar sent to the Belgian Relief\nCommittoc, 60 St. Peter Street, Montreal, goes a long way when spent by\nthis organization in Belgium.

McKily, officer commanding, the Kootenay battalion, re\ncently stated that it was his desire\nto establish a band for the 225th. He\nestimated it would cost about $2000\nfor the instruments and music. In\naddition to this, he asked that some\nsteps be taken to raise a fund to cover\nthe expense of sending recruiting\nsergeants out to portions of the district hitherto untouched and' an:\nnounced that the other recruiting:\npoints had * promised to raise funds\nfor this purpose. Lieut,-Col. McKay\npointed out that In his opinion a band\nwould serve as a great aid to a re\ncruitlng campaign and that he Intended to make the headquarters of\nthe band at Nelson until such timo\nas tiie whole battalion would be moved to Its'mobilization point. x\nIt was felt that no time should be\nlost in furthering the efforts of tho\nofficers to fill the ranks of the 225th\nbattalion and that this woulA require\na certain amount of money to defray\nexpenses entailed by sending the re*\ncruitirig sergeants to outside points.\nIt was said that at tiie present time\nany expenditure incurred must be do-\nfrayed by the officers themselves and\nIt was therefore decided to appoint a\ncommittee, consisting of Harry Amos,\nR. G, Joy, Rev. C. W. Corey and Robb\nSutherland, to make an appeal ttf tho\ncity council for a grant toward this\nfund. . '\nIt was stated that Fernie, Cranbrook and Rossland have ' already\npromised the commanding.officer, to\nmake substantial donations to this\nfund and was expected that Trail and\nGrand Forks would also follow suit.\nAfter some discussion it was. decided\nto place the matter before the general public and to open a fund at the\noffice of The Daily News.J\nDonations are to be acknowledged\nthrough the columns of the paper\ndally. No doubt was expressed of the\npossibility of quickly raising'a large\nsum to be devoted to the two purposes of providing money for recruiting and to supply band instruments\nand music for tho.battalion.'\nOn the motion of Pte. Williams,\nseconded by R. G. Joy, it was decided\nto request the Dominion and provincial governments as well as other employers of labor, to uso their influence\nin Inducing eiegiblc unmarried men\nIn their employ to enlist.\n$10,000 MARK NOW\n, AIM REACHED\nSecond Year's Receipts for Patriotic\nFund Total $9866.29\u2014Full Amount\n\u2022 Expected This Week\nAccording to tho statement of the\ntreasurer, but.$133.71 Is now required\nto bring;, the donations to the Nelson\nand district .branch of tho Canadian\nPatriotic fund up to $10,000 for tho\nsecond year of tiie fund's activity.\nThe treasurer's repoi-t for last week\nshows the receipt of \u00a5227.21*, which\nbrings the total received since Nov.\n16, 1015, up to $0800.20.\nThe raising of $10,000 by May 15\nmeans that, if if is accomplished, the\namount for which Nelson and district\nwere assessed for the year, will have\nbeeti raised In just half the time It\nwas asked for and that Instead of the\nactual amount required from the city\nand district to keep up tho work of\ntho fund, double will in all probability\nbe given before the second^year closes\non Nov. 15..
