He saw no reason why the\nAmerican clause should not be accepted.\nCovered a Large Class\nHon. C. J. Doherty, the minister of\njustice, stated that the reason the\namendment was dropped was because\nthe term \"divinity students\" covered a\nlarge cluss of people other than those\nthey were discussing. He hnd antls\nlied himself that holy orders were\nexempted and no injustice wus being\ndone. Some students were also members of religious orders and as such\nthey would be exempted.\nSir Wilfrid Laurler said it wus a\ntechnical uuestlon, and be would ad\nmit with Mr. Lemieux that the legls\nlatlon was more liberal than that of\nthe United States with regard to\nreligious orders.\nMr. Boulay declared it was unfortunate that Sir Robert Borden had accepted the suggestion of tbe Ontario\ngovernment. When tbe amendment\nincluding divinity students was introduced, it make, the clause practically\nsatisfactory to everybody and to\nchange it now would make It more\ndifficult to enforce the bill.\nO, Turgeon of Gloucester, N. B\u201e up-\npealed to the premier to leave It as It\nstood and not to cause any new disappointment to the people. Vailing\nthat, he would ask him to accept the\namendment proposed by Mr. Lemieux.\nHe said that in New Brunswick every\nbishop, both Roman Catholic and\nAnglican, was depending upon young\nnlen now finishing their courses to\ncarry on the work of the churches.\nHon. A. Sevigny, speaking in French,\nsaid that the clergy of the province of\nQuebec were ready to do their duty.\nNo man, he said, had any right to assert otherwise.\nMr. Gauthier. St. Hyacinth, asked\nthe minister if he considered that\nstudents studying tor minor orders\nwould be exempt under the hi!!.\nMr. Sevigny replied thnt he did not\nthink so and added that he hoped they\nwould not be.\nMr. Sevigny declared that no young\nman without family responsibilities\nshould be exempt from military service when married men may be sent\nto the front.\nAfter A. Bellemere. Muskigone, had\ndeclared himself In favor of Mr, Lemieux' substitute amendment, the vote\nwas taken on it and it was defeated\non a division of 71 to 40.\nSir Robert Borden's amendment was\nthen adopted on a division of 72 to f.:.'.\nVote Against Borden Amendment\nAs the divisions were taken in committee the names of the individual\nmembers were not recorded. It Was\nobserved, however, that all the Quebec Liberals voted for the Lemieux\nsubstitute amendment and against the\nBorden amendment, as did the Quebec\nNationalists und Messrs. Pugsley,\nKyte, Carvell, Mackenzie and Chls-\nholm. Those who voted against the\nLemieux amendment and lor the Borden amendment on the opposition side\nwere Messrs. Pardee, Nesbitt, Ross,\nTruax, Graham, Oliver, Buchanan and\nGuthrie.\nOtherwise the divisions were on\nparty lines.\nHon. William Pugsley then proposed\nto move an amendment to section 11,\nproviding that every local tribunal\nshall once a week publish in the\nCanada Gazette a list of the applications for exemption dealt with during\ntbe preceding week, with a statement\nof the grounds upon which the decision of the tribunals is based.

Publicity could well bo done in\neach locality.\nSir Wilfrid Laurler supported the\namendment, and Mr. Meighen said\nthero were cases iir which It would be\nthe grossest' Injustice to publish to\ntho world the reason Why men were\nexempted\u2014physical disability for instance.\nSir Wilfrid said there was some\nforce in the argument, but the law-\nshould be exercised with common\nsense.\nMr. Pugsley did nol press his\namendment.\nClaims Remedy Should Be Found\nCnpt. H. Bumham. after the recess,\nbrought up the question of officers who\nwere over age. He declared that many\nsuch officers had succeeded In getting\nlo the battlefront and had fought nobly\nand well. Others quite ns determined\nand anxious to go had foiled to succeed. Others again did not want to go\nbut stayed In Canada, and he ventured\nto say they wore enjoying preferences\nto which they were not entitled. No\nremedy had been provided against this\nin this measure. The men who now\noccupy these places would be ready to\nplead their age when confronted with\nthis act, he. said. There was nothing\nwhich antagonized the young men so\nmuch as to sec these fellows take the\npresent positions though they had no\nIntention whatever of going to the\nfront.\nHon. Arthur Melghen moved an\namendment to clause six, a suggestion\nof the leader of the opposition, making it necessary for each member of a\nboard who waa not a judge to tnke an\noatli of affirmation that he would per\nform his duties faithfully and impartially. Such oath might be taken be\ntore a judge, justice of the peace,\nmayor or reeve.\nHon. Frank Oliver referred to subsection three of section 16, dealing\nwith the penalties lor newspapers, pe\nriodicals, pamphlets or books, whicli\nmight contain objectionable matter.\nNewspapers and periodicals were -business organizations involving large expenditure of money and were in a very\ndifferent position from books and pamphlets. The suppression of a book\nmerely destroyed the investment made\nin its production, but the suppression\nof u newspaper or periodical amounted to the confiscation of tho business.\nMr. Oliver moved nn amendment providing for the suppression of tho slnglo\nissue of a single newspaper or periodical containing the objectionable matter, together with the prohibition of\nits further publication at any future\ntime during the war. He moved further that any newspaper or periodical\ncontaining objectionable matter should\nbe deemed to be a person and offenses\nshould be Indicted by order of a\nJudge.\nHon. Arthur Meighon did not sec\nwhat good could conic of suppressing\none issue of a newspaper after Its contents had reached the public and all\nthe harm had been done; The nc\\vs-\npaper would not Care whether its Issue\nwas suppressed after that or not. Un-\nder the war measures act the government had had power to take action in\nsuch cases without bothering with the\njudge or the courts, and no one had\nsuffered unjustly. He did not think\nthe newspapers would be harshly\ndealt with under this law.\nHon. George P. Graham consldcrcj\ntile people always felt moro secure to\nhavo as a defense a statute rather than\nthe promise of the government. He\nbelieved that between tho time of the\noffense and a consideration of it by\nthe court the paper could be suppressed by the censor. It was a very stringent' tiling to say that the good will\nand business of the paper should be\nconfiscated because of the fault of\nsome minor official of the paper.\nMr. Melghen declared that the only\nway to deal with this question was to\ndeal with it firmly.\nHort. Mr. Oliver declared that when\na man went shooting It made a great\ndeal ot difference what end of the\ngun he wus nt. The solicitor-general\nmight feel more confident al his end\not the gun than Mr. Oliver did at his.\nA newspaper was a good deal like a\nmember of the animal kingdom, ir you\nstop the circulation It dies.\nHe could not see why his business\nshould be Jeopardized any more than\nanyone else's. He did not see why his\nproperty should be subjected to destruction without proof or evidence of\noffense on his part or without possibility of defense. There was a grave\ndanger lhat this clause might be exercised by the governmont against its\nparty opponents.\nSuppression Only in Extreme Cases.\nMr. Melghen sold that a newspaper\nguilty of printing seditious matter at\nsuch a tlmo should be suppressed.\nThere was no clanger of drastic action\nbeing taken except In extreme cases.\nHe did not think It advisable to Insert\nIn the law the provision suggested by\nthe member for Udmonton. The present censorship law had been administered for three years by officers appointed by tlie government nnd there\nhad been choice of suppression of publications. Tho member for Edmonton,\nhe said, as a publisher of a newspaper\nhad never been interfered with for\ncriticism of the government.\nSir Robert Uordcn, closing, said that\nthe newspapers almost without exception, as well us tho nows doalers, had\nworked loyally and effectively In uld\nof the government's efforts to keep\nfrom becoming public, mattcn) which\nwould be detrimental to tho country\nduring war times.\nD. L. Mackenzie said that tho proposed law In tho legal sense would be\nsimilar to a perpetual Injunction. Ho\ncould see no reason why thero should\nnot be something In tho nature of an\nInterim injunction whoroby u newspaper could be suspended for u tlmo\nwhile Its offense was being Inquired\ninto.\nHon. George P. Graham asked if the\nbill would exempt officers of tho Salvation urmy.\nHon. Arthur Melghen said that It\nwould be a gross Injustice If the officers of the Salvation army wore\ntreated differently from other denominations. He had no doubt but that\nthe bIH covered them without any additions to It. That would lie the Intention.

D.\u2014For probably the\nfirst time in the history of America an\norganization of farmers representing\nthe employing class is asked to rat-t\nify an agreement with a labor organization representing the farm labor of\nAmerica. The proposed contract is\none which a committee selected by\nPresident A. C. Townley of the Non-\npartlznn league has tentatively entered\ninto a committee representing the Agricultural union. It provides for a\nstandard day, a certain standard of\nworking and living conditions and such\nother rules as are incident to agreements between employers and labor organizations the world Over.\nThe effect of the agreement, says\nJohn N. Hagon, commissioner of agriculture and labor for North Dakota,\nand who headed the Nonpartlzan\nleague committee, will be to assure tho\nNorth Dakota farmers un abundant\nsupply of skilled labor when and\nwhere It Is needed; to eliminate the\ncongregation of unemployed, which the\ncommissioner holds bus been responsible for North Dakota's I. W. W. troubles in the past, and to prevent any\ndispute between the farmer and the\nhands on whom he Is to rely for the\nharvesting of North Dakota's much\nneeded bumper crops.\n\"Ratification\" meetings of league\nmembers, called by President Town-\nley, similar to that in progress here\ntoday, will he held In Fargo, Valley\nCity, Jamestown and Bismarck. The\nleague's farmer membership is reported ns between 40,000 and 60,000.\nThere are 80,000 farmers in Nortli\nDakota. Whether those not In the\nleague will be bound by the agreement,\nIf ratified by the league, Is not yet\ncleur.\n\"If the agreement is not acceptable\nto the farmer,\" said Commissioner\nHagon today, \"the department of\nagriculture and labor will seek to\ncontinue to supply the furmer's labor\nneeds as it has done in the past. We\nhave worked for weeks on thlc agreement. If It is approved, I believe it\nwill go a long way toward ending harvest troubles in North Dakota. I am\nconfident the union will live up to its\ncontract. This tn the only means I\nknow uf by which we can obtain reduced transportation for farm hands;\nit is the one means 1 have yet discovered of making certain of skilled\nbunds; it is the one measure which\nwill give us control of the harvest\nbund from the time he enters the state\nuntil he leaves It. it will mean absolute certainty of employment for\ntho farm laborer when he arrives at\ntho end of his journey, something he\ncannot be sure of now.\"\nmm\nSUMMER\nMILLINERY\nNEW SHIPMENTS JUST IN OP LIGHT.

His plan was to use the\ndefeat of Rumania us proof of Germany's invincible might and as a reason for concluding a separate peace.\nBut for the revolution he would hove\ncompleted the plot.\nNegotiation--! between (Russia and\nRumania, prior to the entry of the\nlatter country lo the war, lasted for\nmany months. Rumania declared that\nit should have 200,000 Russian troops\nIn the Dobrujn, hut Stunner asserted\n20,000 would be ample. Twice the Rumanian general staff urged the Russians to cross the Danube and occupy\nRuBtchuck, to protect Bucharest. The\nFrench general staff concurred in the\nopinion of the Rumanians but Sturmer\nwns adamant. iH'is whole scheme depended on the crushing of Rumania.\nSturmer pledged his government to\ncooperate with a large force of Russians with the 3rd Rumanian army in\nTransylvania. The Russians were sent\nto Dorna Watra, but were held there.\nThey arc still at the same spot. The\nRumanians carried out their program,\nonly to be overwhelmed by superior\nenemy forces.\nThe defeat of Rumania was planned\nby Sturmer In conjunction with German agents. He wanted Rumania invaded as far as the Sereth river, and\nused the Russian troops only to keep\nthe enemy from Russian territory.\nThen he proposed peace, making the\nclaim that Russia had not been defeated but that it was impossible to\nheat Germany.\nGERMANY'S LOSSES AS SHOWN\nBY CASUALTY LISTS.\nIncluding the names published in\n.Tune, officially admitted German casualties have reached a total of 4,.-\"-23,307,\nwhicii agrees very closely with the\nestimate given out by the French war\noffice two weeks ago. The total represents roughly one casualty for every\nsix males in (lermany.\nAnalyzed, the figures show that the\ntotal number of dead is 1,105,760. Prisoners and missing, including many\nwho are dead, total 591,966. Germany\non its own admission has therefore\npermanently lost 1,697,726 men from\nits armies or one man in every seventeen of its male population. Wounded\ntotal 2,825,581. Of these probably 0i\nper cent are not permanently out of\naction, if the Canadian and British average of full recovery from wounds applies to German casualties. Sixty-five\nper cent of 2,825,581 is 1,836,65*0, which\nleaves 088,(125, or nearly another million men who can be reasonably considered to be out of nctlon. The total\nnumber of German soldiers out of action through death, capture or permanent disability therefore amounts to\n2,686,051, which Is about one in eleven\nof the male population nf the country.\nbegan. It will find that it has still\nmore stirring times ahead of it.\nThe new chancellor states that history will appreciate the work of Beth-\nmann-Hollweg. It certainly will not\nforget that \"hacking-a-way-through-\nBelglum\" speech.\nHon. W. J. Hanna says that the\ngovernment may not take over the\nbusiness of tho distribution of fish,\nbut that \"prices must and will be\nlower.\" That looks liko a pretty\nbroad hint to someone.\nHerr Mlchaelis starts in just like\nBethmann-Hollweg. He says Russia\nstarted the war. The next stage wilt\nbe to accuse Belgium and the third\nstage is to assert that the country\nwhich really started the struggle was\n\"degenerate England.\"\nThe increase in the price of cool in\ntho Crows Nest which has been necessitated by tho raise in wages is 50\ncents per ton. It wns generally declared that the increase would bo $1\nper ton. Government Controller Armstrong has power to control prices as\nwell as to force operation.\nThe Dominion government is to be\ncongratfllated upon its decision to\nmake a grant of $10,000 for the widows\nand orphans of tlie unfortunate miners\nwho wore killed in the Crows Nest\ndisaster last April. The case is a\nspecial one, and the government has\ndone well to give assistance. The\npeople of the Crows Nest district have\nthemselves recognized the need of tlie\nwidows and orphans and have with\ntheir usual generosity subscribed about\n$9000. In addition the provincial government has distributed $1100.\n\u25a0 \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u25a0\u00bb \u00bb\u00bb\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u00bb \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u2666<\n; WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ,\n\u25a0 \u00bb\u2022>\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb \u00bb\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u2666 \u00bb4 \u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u25a0*\nFomenting Labor Trouble\nSuit for damages for unlawful detention of n.

Look at it close to home\nand see how it operates. From Esquimau to the bridge outside Duncan the\nfarms aro under government control\nIn the matter of roads, taxation, etc.\nFrom the bridge to Chemainus the\nfarms are within the municipality of\nNorth Cowichan. Thus the farmers\nin the first named area have to pay\na super tax to meet a deficit in the\nprovincial revenue while the farmers\nIn the municipality of North Cowichan will not have to contribute a\ncent for the same purpose. It seems\nlogical to conclude that the super tax\nwill make it impossible for the farmers in unorganized districts to compete with those in municipalities, and\nit must not he forgotten that the former labor under the additional handicap of being farther from their markets.\nThere was a time when the difference between the rating and taxation\nwithin and without municipalities was\nreckoned as favorable to tho unorganized districts. This advantage l*\u00bbis\n\u25a0been annulled. Now farms located\njust outside munielpaltles have had\ntheir valuations increased to synchronize with tlie values of adjacent\nland within organized territory. And\nnow, upon the former class of property comes the super tax. It would be\ndifficult, in fact impossible, for any\nminister of the crown, or anyone else\nfor that mfittcr, to justify the imposition of a burden on one class of land\nand on one section of the community.\nThere is neither good judgment or\nequality in such a course.\nFrom information that has reached\nThe Colonist it seems lhat very few\nfarmers will he able to meet the new-\nsuper tax, and It is very certain that\nnot one on Vancouver island will meet\nit out of the farm profits of the current year. Under recent and existing\nconditions we doubt If it is possible\nfor any farmer to break even on his\nland. The government's department\nof agriculture should be fully appraised of the conditions that exist. Instead\nof putting obstacles in the way of agricultural development during such a\ncrisis in production, every effort that\nis possible should be made to foster\nthe industry. The legislation which\nputs a super tax on farmers is ill-considered, unpatriotic and a political and\neconomic blunder.\u2014Victoria Colonist\nPRICE OF FISH 10\nMl DOWN\nHITS AT LAWBREAKING, NOT AT\nLIBERTY.\nThe liberty of the press, in common\nwith freedom of speech, should not\nlightly be interfered with, even in-war\ntimes, but the clause in the conscription bill which was strongly opposed\nyesterday by Hon. Frank Oliver and\nHon. George P. Graham prohibits license, rather than liberty. Newspapers Insist on freedom, but not on license to break laws.\nThe clause in the conscription bill is\nclearly designed to enable the government to take prompt nctlon against\nany newspaper or speaker who advises\nthe peoplo of the country to evade or\ndeliberately break the law. To instigate the violation of any law is an offense that has always been punishable\nunder the criminal code of Canada.\n\u00bbC0TO blaitse in the bill does not interfere In any way with criticism of\nthe government, It merely provides for\n\u25a0 prompt action against a form of law-\nbrcaklng that might prove particularly\ndangerous during a time of war.\nI THE WEATHER\nMln.

F. Hanna,\nfood controller. Mr. Hanna himself\nwas present and also G. Frank Beer,\nwho will be chairman of tlie fish commission, and F. S. Wiley, ft. V. Eaton,\nthe third member of the commission\nwas unavoidably absent.\nAt the conclusion of tlie conference\nMr. Hanna Issued a statement which\nreveals tlie extent of the authority and\nthe measure of power Invested in the\nmembers of the special fish commission. It. also entails thut within a\nshort time the consuming public in\nthis and other provinces will see a\nmaterial reduction in the price of\nfish.\nMr, Hanna's statement was as follows:\n\"The question is being asked\nwhether the fish commission will need\nto assume control of the actual distribution of fish. Such action may he\nnecessary. It is hoped, however, that\nthe interests concerned may adjust\ntheir methods to the requirements of\nthe public.

He argues (1) that compulsory selective draft is the most efficient from a military standpoint, (2)\nthat it involves the smallest financial\ncharge on the country, and (3) that' It\nis the only plan that permits com-\nparatively uninterrupted production\nat home,- These contentions aro unanswerable. The greater number of\npatriotic volunteers who go to the\nfront leaving large families depending\nupon the government nnd the patrlotio\nfund the greater the financial burden of the war.\nInstead of sending more of such men j[\nacross the water the prime mlnlBter\nproposes to take .unmarried men and\nchildless widowers. It is probable that\nthe 100,000 men can be secured without going beyond three elosses. The\ngovernment measure also keeps in\nview the wisdom of recruiting only\nsuch men as can best be spared from\nessential industries. Aside altogether\nfrom the recent failure of the authorities to secure an adequate number of\nrecruits on the voluntary basis, it is\nessential to the financial stability and\npermanent welfare of the country that\nwc put into force the only scientific\nand truly economical system of maintaining our armies nt the front.\u2014Toronto News.-\nTHE COALITION IDEA\nAs wc liavo said before, Sir Robert\nHorden's invitation to Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier to join with him to form\ncoalition government was not a piece\nof political strategy, and it was not\nfor the purpose of opening a way out\nof a deadlock or other government em\nergency. Nor did It spring from one\nof those dove-like moods into which\npoliticians in other countries have fal\nlen In this war time. The gush of\nparty truce sentiment had nothing to\ndo with it. It came out of a robust\nmind that grasped the realities of the\nsituation, and boldly followed the\ncourse that seemed to bo in the high\nest interests of Canada and the Em\npile.\u2014'Toronto Mall and Empire.\nA SLANDER REFUTED I\n*-\u00bb-\u00bb\u2666\u00bb#\u2666\u2666)\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u2666)\u2666)> \u00bb \u00bb \u00bb4 \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666.J\nA correspondent of The World some\nweeks ngo called attention to the\nmany rumors that reached Canada\nfrom Britain as to tlie prevalence of\ncertain social diseases in the army.\nTho World in commenting on the latter took the view that it was unlikely\nthat conditions were as bad ns represented.\nOfficial reports now available show\nthat in respect to social diseases, neither the army in Canada nor the army\noverseas is more affected than the ordinary civilian population.\nSince the commencement of the war\nto Marcli 31 last the percentage of\ncases of social disease to the number\nof recruits in Canada, has been remarkably small-1\u2014only 2.5 per cent. In\ncivil life, the figures are not available, but medical opinion lias no doubt\nthat the proportion is higher.\nOn the general question the opinion\nof the director of medical services (invalids) has been secured. He stales\nthat the situation as regards venereal diseases is no worse among the\ntroops than among the non-military\npopulation, nor among the Canadian\ntroops in Britain compared with those\nin Canada. In fact the percentage\nof cases In both Britain and Canada\nis the samo. Statements that would\nindicate that tlie troops are worse than\nthe civilians in respect of such diseases are to he deprecated In the opinion of tills officer, whose testimony\nmay be relied upon.\nThe statement ,is reassuring. It\nshould go far to set at rest the rumors\nwhich are now shown to be. largely\nwithout foundation. \u2014 Vancouver\nWorld.\ni GERMANY'S CONDUCT AND f\nt_^ FATE I\nThis then, is the one supreme truth\nwhich Is being taught the world: That\nwhich occupies the mind enters into\nthe conduct, just as that which is near\ntho heart Invades tho Intelligence; an*1\nwhat enters into conduct fashions\nfate.

Henri Coulon contributes an article to Le Rappel on tho\nsubject of tho difficulties under which\nthe French merchant service Is laboring. He advocates the arming of cargo\nboats with at least two guns, as a\nmeans of defense against submarines.\nFrom results already obtained, the\nwriter believes thnt this would secure\npractical Immunity to the boats concerned, except in the case of torpedo\nattacks, .which are relatively not so\ndangerous because of the difficulty of\ngiving efficacious direction lo the torpedo. \"It would certainly seem,\" he\ncontinues, \"that this method would result In lesa loss than that of convoying vessels which might be reserved\nfor neutral boats working for the allies\nand which aro not armed.\n\"It is inadmissible that merchant\nvessels of varying speed should be expected to sail one behind the other\nas if thoy were a squadron of war vessels. The results are often regrettable\nand frequent accidents ensue. The\nquestion of, necessary repairs is an\nextremely serious one, since though\nrepairing,is not absolutely impossible,\nyet it is such a lengthy process that\nin numerous cases the ships are held\nup as long as five, six or seven months\nand sometimes longer. Both in France\nnnd Great Britain authorization has to\nbe obtained to make use of plate iron\nand the necessary machinery, and in\nboth countries these authorizations are\nonly obtained with difficulty. The British admiralty has taken every possible i\nmeasure to cope with the situation,\nbut it has not always perhaps, found\nIn the French government the support\nwhich It had the right to expect.\n, \"Following on an Agreement'with the\nDanish government, the British admiralty had decided to requisition that\ncountry's fleet, sharing equally with\nthe French government, on conditions\nwhich nre now official. It had obtained from the Swedish nnd Norwegian\ngovernments conditions which were\nvery advantageous, especially for\nFrance, But latterly, having decided\nto purchase all ships ln course of construction In the world which, according\nto information which I obtained,\namounted to about 800,000 tons, the\nBritish admiralty offered to carry out\nthe transaction in cooperation with the\nFrench government, but the latter replied that it desired to preserve its\nfreedom of action and would therefore\nprefer to wnlt nnd purchase at a time\nwhich it considered most propitious.\nThe British government then lwught\nthe 800,000 tons outright for lis own\nuse. Following on this refusal, the\nBritish government, being In need of\ntonnage and having reduced to a considerable extent all imports which\ncould be reduced, advised the French\ngovernment that it would soon be\nobliged to withdraw tho 400,000 tons\nwhich had been lent to France a few\nmonths ago. The French government\nhas never replied to the British government on this subject and it is nol\nknown yet what measures it intends to\ntake to meet this grave contingency.\n\"It is also a regrettable fact,\" continues M. Coulon, \"that the French\nshipowners meet with so little support\non the part of their government, there\nbeing a' great need for centralization\nof the authorities dealing with the\nmerchant marine. It Is nt the present\ntime impossible to find crews in French\nports for the. ships which have Just\nbeen purchased. The stringent mobilization of the ministry of marine, the\nfrequent torpedoing and losses of ships\nhave interfered with the supply or\nthose sailors who are above the mobll-\niznblo age ond who can find much\nmore remunerative employment on\nshore, Yet at certain naval depots,\nsuch as Toulon, there are 3000 unemployed men and this figure keeps on\nbeing Increased by the crews of torpedoed vessels. The navy continues to\nrefuse to provide the shipowners with\nthe men they require, with the result\nthat the delay of'ships from 5, 6, 8. 10\nor 15 days has become terribly frequent. Ship owners are refused permission to use the naval telephones lu\nthe harbors, the ministries of war, marine and of public works stating that\ntho commercial maritime transports\nhave nothing to do with the national\ndefense and therefore the necessary\npermission cannot be given. Yet the\nnational defense is only posslhle,\nthanks to marine transports.\"\nThe writer of the article concludes\nby urg|ng prompt action. \"There Is\nno time\/* he Bays, \"for Questions of de\ntall; the ship owners should be given\ncomplete, and absolute support and\nabove all measures should be taken\nto reduce the imports which do not\ndirectly uffect the national defense.

A little\nover $1300 is required for the conduct\nof school affairs without making any\nextraordinary improvements.

A resolution was passed requesting the government to so revise tho\nschool act that trustees may be paid\nthe annual vote quarterly In full, regardless as to whether taxes have been\npaid or not. It was felt that the government had the machinery at hand to\npress payment of delinquent taxes by\nholding lax sales, though the trustees\nwere powerless and continually had to\nborrow.

C, July 'l9.\u2014Saturday\nwill round out exactly four weeks since\nrain has fallen in the Creston valley.\nNaturally this has shortened up the\nstrawberry corp, although this fruit\nwill continue on the shipping list for\nanother week, some of tlie ranchers\nhaving got their irrigation systems\nworking to good advantage tlie latter\npart of the week. Tbe strawberry output will hardly totul 8nOQ crates, as\ncompared with 17,680 crates last season.\nComplaint is hoard in spots that\nraspberries are starting to dry nut,\nbut so far the setback is not serious\nIn this regard, this fruit having held\nup remarkably well considering the\nprolonged and excessive heat. Over\n90 ln the shade has boen registered for\nthe past ten days. Of course, if there\nis no more rain the raspberry yield will\nslump as badly as the strawberries as\ncompared with last year even, and\n1916 was quite a dry season itself. This\nfruit started shipping at most points\nin the valley on Monday, and so far the\noutgo has been well up to last year's\nfigures.\nCherries are coming In In even larger\nquantities than a year a-ro, though In\nsome cases they are considerably smaller In size but of good color, and, so far,\nthe market has taken up everything offered, despite market reports that most\nof the prairie centres are overstocked.\nSmall garden truck Is wilting fast,\nbut fortunately this year few, It any,\nare growing must outside of potatoes\nand tomatoes, and Information as to\ntbe latter is that Ihey never looked\nbetter at this time of the year. Potatoes, too, are standing tlie drought in\ngood shape in practically every field.\nFraser & Son at Erlckson are shipping\nout. cabbage in qujtjitlties as high as\nhalf a ton n day, starting this week,\nbut six or eight tons of it is their\nlimit.\nDespite these fortuitous eircum-\nslances business men in town report\nthat tho cash Iradp'doing just now Is\ntho best for years i>ack, and that back\naccounts are being liquidated In equally satisfactory fashion. This is largely due to the long prices tiiat strawberries have been bringing. At Creston\nfor the first selling week the berries\nbrought $3.50 per crate and $3 for\nthe second week. For tlie year the\nprice will average liettor than $2.25,\nwhich compared with $1.65 for 191\u00ab accounts for the present show of prosperity, tn some degree at least. Against,\nthis, of course, must be charged up\nthe crates the grower will have on\nband, due to tbe big slump In tbe expected yield.\nThe raspberry market has also opened asupiclously, this week's soiling so\nfur being :tt $2.ri0 per crate in the\nsmall hallock. La-tri, year the season\nopened at $1.7'\u00bb In the full pint, but, of\ncourse, later season prices were better,\nowing to a short British Columbia\ncrop.\nBUSH FIRE RAGES IN\nBULL RIVER VALLEY\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nFERNIE, B.

The title\nitself is somewhat ot a misnomer, for-\nthe large allied army at present stationed in the1 Balkan peninsula spreads\nout In fanlike formation from.Its base\nat Saloniki to a lino which stretches,\nroughtly speaking, from MqnusUr,\nacross what, Is known, as the Tserna\nbond, through Ghlevghelli and Dot-\nran, and thence along the Struma\nvalley to the sfea. %t should, therefore,\nreally be-called the Macedonian or\nBalkan expedition. jhi,(the absence of\nany definite news of an advance towards the Belgrade- Constantinople\n^ail\\Vay, which,should, of course, be\nthe offensive object \\at the expedition,\nIt Is not unnatural that thoughts\nshould sometimes Jura, to what might\nhave happened in the Balkans had the\nallies played their cards differently.\nRunning briefly over the past, It\nWilt be recollected' that there have\nbeen divers times of. crisis In the history of events in the peninsula. The\nfirst of these; may be put as far back\nas November, 1914. when the Austrian\narmies had so far penetrated into Serbia that no reasonable person could\nhave anticipated the marvelous manner, in which the Serbs eventually\nturned on their adversary and drove\nhim m headlong flight from their\ncountry. During the period of the\nSerbian retreat the assistance of the\nGreek army would have been, of vltiu\nImportance, ahd Vlscoxint Grey rtiude\nan effort tb obtain this support. M.\nVenizelos was, however, very rightly\nInfluenced by the attitude of Bulgaria,\nwhich he already assumed to be hostile, und he was unable to consent\nto the entry of Greece into tho conflict\nunless sufficient allied troops were\nsent to parry nn eventual attack on\nSaloniki by Bulgaria. This guarantee\nforce was not .sent for two reasons.\nFirstly, it was very doubtful whether\nthe allies had the troops to spare, and\nsecondly, Viscount Grey persistently\naccepted the declarations of the Bulgarian statesmen at their face value,\nand wns apparently convinced that\nthat country would ultimately .join\nforces with the allies. This erroneous conception, .indeed, dictated the\nallies' policy In the Balkans from tho\nivory commencement of hostilities, with\nwhat results are now apparent to all\nthe world.\nDuring the first nine months of 1916\nthe Austrian menace against Serbia\nwas always present, but in the spring\nany immediate risk wns removed by\nthe Russian, operations in Galicia. At\nthis epoch the wise course would have\nbeen to make a determined attempt to\nsmash Austria entirely, and this could\nhave been done had a force of say\n100,000 AnglOrKrench troops been sont\nto Macedonia, In order to insure the\nneutrality of Bulgaria. Had this step\nbeen taken, the Serbs could have been\nsent into Hungary, hacked up hy the\nAnglo-French contingent, nnd the\nwriter has every reason to state that\nthe Greek army would have joined In\nand followed up in the rear. The\nassurance of Bulgarian neutrality and\nthe presence of strong Russian and\nSerbian Jpnjlnfents. in Himgaryy Wftujdr\ndoubtless have also brought in Rumania at this juncture. It is oven\nprobable that in such circumstances\nBulgaria would have torn up her arrangements with the central powers\nand become a party to the general\nBalkan advance, taking her reward at\nthe expense of Turkey.\nThis scheme was, however, rejected,\nand nothing was done to strengthen\nSerbia, save Viscount Grey's abortive\nand disastrous attempts to purchase\nBulgarian assistance at the cost of\nSerbian and Greek territory. These\nmeasures were taken, of course, with\nthe very best Intentions in the world,\nhut a truer grasp of the Bnlkan situation ''would have demonstrated their\nfutility fnrtn the very commencement.\nWhen the combined Austro-Gcnnan-\nHulgorlan attack on Serbia commenced\nIn the early days of October, 1915, the\nallies were totally unprepared to assist their ally or to make the necessary cbflceiitration of forces which\nwould have brought In Greece in conformance with the Graeco- Serbian\nIre'aty. The fact seems to be overlooked that, the moment this attack\nIn strength Was opened, It was certain\nthat Ahe combined forces of the central powers and Bulgaria would secure possession of the Belgrade-Constantinople railway, and thus enable\nmunitions to be sent through to Turkey. The importance ot this consideration, was due to the fact that at that\ntime the only chance of forcing the\nDardanelles Iny In Turkey's lack of\nsupplies. In Short, the Gnllipoll enterprise *was doomed the moment that\nthis combined attack opened against\nSerbia; and.ihe logical course was to\nplace immediately a strong allied army\nin the Saloniki district, push it up as\nfar As Uskub, meet \\he retiring Serbs\nand proceed to n- Joint attackin order\nto recover possession of the Orlentol\nrailroad.\nHad sufficient troops been landed\nImmediately It is probable that King\nConstantino would have been' unable\nto keep Greece quiet. The difficulty\nwas to find the necessary forces. They\ncould not be spared from France, military opinion was opposed to any weakening nf the armies in Egypt, and as\nwe know there set in a regime of hesitation and delay.\nBut it will be remembered that the\nGnllipoll expedition had, by the evolution of events, already failed in Ita\npurpose, and the difficulty might have\nheen overcome by Immediately evn-\ncuatlng the peninsula and transporting the troops there stationed to Macedonia. This plan, however, was not\nadopted. Ve*ry foeble nhd totally Insufficient detachments were landed at\nSaloniki. The Serbs accommodated\ntheir strutefc-y to the advice given by\nthe allied general staffs and were un\nable to boat their way down to Mon-\nustlr.\nThis failure opened up another alternative. Instead of despatching\ndriblets to Snlonikl, Hie allies might\nhave turned their attention to tho\nAdriatic, In which direction, tho bulk\nof the Serbian armies hnd heen obliged\nto retreat. It Ih seen now, though apparently tt was hot recognized ln official circles at the time, that Germany's\nprincipal ambition was to secure con\ntrol ot tho Balkan peninsula and to\ndestroy Serbia, which tor a wore of\nyears had been the shndow across tho\npun-Oerma6 dream of \"Berlin.Bug-\ndad.\" The importatfcWi-or acting from\na base on the Adriatic wan twofuld.\nFliBt, a great part of the Serbian army\nwhich ultimately perished, could haVe\nhVn saved,'arid a direct and progressive menace could have been built Up.\nagainst the enemy occupation of Serbia, and. secondly It would have assur-\ni'|ed them the possession of Mt, Lovt-\ncheri, which dpmlnated what is now{\nthe great Austrian submarine base of\nCattaro, and ta.a. lesser extent also\ntnc open roadstead of San Geovanl de\nMedtia. '\n\u25a0 In. this connection Italy might have\nrenedered very prompt and precious,\nservice, and it is now generally realized in that country that It was a fatal\nmistake to allow Lovtchen to fall into\nAustrian hand.\"* They might have,\n\\ylthout dfejay, fortfied this outstanding summit, which could speedily\nhave been rendered Impregnable, ana\nthe allies could - then have availed\nthemselves of the port of Sun Geovanl.\nThis, as has been already said, Is but\ntjie open roadstead, but a temporary\nbreakwater could have had been made\nby sinking a few merchant ships, and\nIt was seen at Gallipoll with what facility engineers enn construct a satisfactory port under tlie stress of war.\nNow the difficulties of this proceeding should not be underrated. There\nare no roads leading from the Adriatic\nlo Serbia, and of course, no railways;\nbut the Drlh valley offers facilities\nfor railroad construction, and with a\ncertain amount of forslght the material could have been prepared so that\nan iron way could have been pushed\nfprward almost as quickly as tho troop\ncould advance. Support of this description would have enabled the Serbians* to hold out with greater increased stubbornness, and the vital\ncommunications of the advance could\nliavo been laid up the Drin river,\nacross tu Diakova, and along the road\nthence to Mltrovitea, where the junction would have been made with the\nUskub-Mitrovitzn section of the\nOriental railway.\nWhether such strategy could be employed today is questionable. The\nAdriatic Is infested with submarines\nwhich are based at Tola and Cattaro,\nthe latter being In its turn dominated\nby Mt. Lovtchen,,. It would, therefore,\nlie exceedingly difficult to despatch\nthe necessary materials for tho transformation of San Geovanl do Medua\nInto a military port, more dangerous\nstill to convoy troop ships across the\nAdriatic, and exceedingly risky to deploy in thut sea the battleships and\nmonitors which would be necessary\nto recapture San Geovanl by a naval\nattack. Tho other alternative is to\ndispute even \u25a0 in a small degree the\nGerman possession of the Balkan peninsula by remaining In Macedonia,\nand when the opportune occasion arrives and the necessnry men and materials can be spared, push steadily\nnorthward to Uskub and on the Nish,\nat which point'the communications of\nthe central powers1 with Constantinople could lie interrupted.\nA further idea, and one which was\nat one time much favored by the Greek\ngeneral staff, would he to land nt De-\ndeagatch und advance to Adrlnnople.\nirti.li* proposal has, however, never\nbeen taken into serious consideration\nby the allies, and the enterprise would\nbe necessary to combat a strong Bul-\nbc necessar yto combat u strong Bulgarian section and the full forces of\nthe Turkish army in ICurope.\u2014Boston\nMonitor.\nTIDEWATER COAL\nTO Bt POOLED\nWASHINGTON, D.

Three' of\nthe five railroad executives who form,\nthe railroad war board, Rea, Elliott,\n\u25a0fctruttstahnitt\u2014-and President Hplpon,\ntold the shippers pf the necessity of\nsome-plan for pooling coal at Atlantic\nports, just as it is being pooled on\nLake Erie. A committee of 25, five\nftom New England receiver!?!, five from\ntho producers of bituminous coal, five\nliroducera of anthracite, and five representing vessel ownership, was appointed. This committee, with Mr. Elliott acting as chairman, met in Washington on June 7 and again on June\n11.' It accepted the report of committee urging that a tidewater pool be\nestablished, and proposed that a commissioner be selected With central offices \u2022 hi Washington and that four*\ndeputy commission era be selected for\nthe ports of New York,.

It Is possible for one\nshipper to transfer credit In coal to\nanother, In writing.

Bolin of\nPrinceton are among the returned soldiers who reached Vancouver Wednesday. Sergt. D. F. Peters of Appledale\ncrossed with the same party and was\nIn Nelson yesterday.\nAmong the group of veterans were\ntwo Military Medal men, Pte. John\nQlil of Coal Creek, near Fernie, and\nSergt. Thomas Birch of Fort Fraser.\nThe former went away with., the\nKootenays and served for olght\nmonths in the trenches, when on\nMarch 1 this year at Vimy Hdge he\nwas shot through the left elbow, losing\nthe power of the left arm. His wounds\nwere dressed by Pte. R. W. Manning\nof Vancouver. At the same tlmo Pte.\nMontague Johnson, alBo of Vancouver,\nwas wounded in the side of the face\nand was sent to Epsom to convalesce,\nPte. Gill states that. Pte. Johnson is\nnow probably with his unit in Franco.\nA short time previous to recoivlng\nhis injury, Pte. Gill won the Military\nMedal for \"dressing wounded under\n.heavy fire.\" The following is an excerpt from a letter sent him by Capt.\nW. C. Walsh of Vancouver, medical\nofficer of the battalion: \"Col. Harvey\nasked me to convey his congratulations\nto you. I take great pleasure in adding mine and those of the M.O. staff\nof the battalion. You did great work\nand we are all proud of you and so\nglad that you have received the well-\nmerited honor. I sincerely hope your\nwound is doing well and that you have\nnot had to suffer much pain. You got\na good knock on the arm that morning. Am sorry I could not give you\nmore attention at the time, but you\nknow what a rush we had.\"\nAnother letter from his sergeant\ntells of tho details of the award. Sergt,\nW. T. Davies says: \"It falls to me to\ninform you of an honor which you\nhave earned tor yourself and for our\nS. B. section. It gives me especial\npleasure knowing as \\ do that you\ndeserve this fully as much as any man\nwho has received it. Enclosed you,\nwill find the ribbon for the Military\nMedal awarded to yon for the brav\ncry displayed in dressing wounded\nwhilst under heavy fire. Every one of\nthe section has expressed himself as\nbeing highly pleased at your distlnc\ntlon, so you may have full assurance\nthat your decoration was not only\nmerited but was very popular amongst\nall those who knew you and your\nwork. This was the only award In\nour section with the exception that\npoor Wright has been mentioned in\ndespatches.\"\nCorp. W. H. Carr of Pentlcton was\nattached to the bombing section of\ntho C. M, n.'s and left tlie coast on\nJune 4, litis. After.a short period\nDf training in England the unit was\nsent to France, whero, the corporal\nserved in tlie lines fori thirteen months\n'fwring which timo he Was wounded on\ntwo occasions. It was in March, 1916,\nthar? Corp. Can- wasiwounded in the\nright arm and left log by an enemy\nbomb. At that timo the boys were\nonly separated by about 60 feet from\nFritz's trenches at Hooge; and the\nbombers were engaged in their favorite pastime of hurling-tho death-dcnl-\nng missiles back and forth. When\nhe was struck, two men of the bombing section were killed, one being\nWright of Canoe, and the other was\nVaughau of Peachland.\nThe young corporal was returned\nfor three months convalescence, in\nEngland and when he went back to\nthe trenches lie was again injured,\nthis time by a high-explosive shell.\nThis occurred at Stuff redoubt on the\nSomme on Sept. 29 last year, when\nboth legs and the left arm were\nstruck. The boys bad made the attack and Corp. Carr had gone buck\nto headquarters with despatches. It\nwas on his return lo the front line that\nthe shell got him. When in. Englnnd\nand immediately previous to' his departure for Canada, ho saw another\nPontieton man, pto. Nesbltt of the\nPentlcton Herald staff, who, after convalescing from wounds received in\nthe face, was on liis way back lo Hie\nfront.\nAnother Fighting Martin\nIn the words of a comrade, Pte. C.\nMartin of Cranbrook is just as good u\nfighter as Fighting Joe of parliamentary fame. Pte. Martin went over\nWilli tho machine gun section of Warden's Warriors, with which unit he\nfought in the trenches. As a result\nof a piece of shrapnel In tbe back,\nWhich he received during a heavy\nbombardment at Ypres, \\ Pte,''. Martiii\nspent two weeks In hospital.>* Oh tha\nsecond occasion on which he wns\nwounded, a number of German prisoners had been taken' during an attack by three battalions.on the night\nof Nov. 11. One of the prisoners\nthrew a bomb which struck Pte. Martin in the head, severely Injuring the\nshoulder. That prisoner, according to\nauthentic information, is now helping\nthe daisies to grow in Frun*po.\nPte. P. Armer was a miner off Coal\nCreek before going to the scene of\nwarfare with a Kootenay battalion. lie\nhas been invalided home on account\nof illness. \u2022-.v-.i\nr\n\\\u201e ', !\nEconomy Is Keynote Here\nAT \"THE BAY\" WE ARE EVER STRIVING TO PRESENT TO\n'THE PUBLIC \"RELIABLE MERCHANDISE\" AT ECONOMY\nPRICES.

C\u2014Reports from\nLondon of the Increasing frequency of\nair raids and the popular demand for\nreprisals have had tho effect in congress of creating a sense of the necessity for rapid additions to the aircraft forces of the allies, and members who realize the importance of\nspeedy legislation for this purpose\narc urging action that will enable tho\ncountry to bund a vost fleet of airplanes,\n\"I have spoken already,\" said Captain De la Grange, \"of the great help\nAmerica enn bring to the allies in\n1918 by establishing allied superiority\nin the air. We know that this superiority would secure a speedier and\nmore decisive victory.\"\nTlie captain said ho Is sure that tho\nmost effective and quickest way in\nwhich tho United States can help the\nallies Is In aviation. \"Tho formation of a large aviation section by the\nUnited States,\" he said, \"is only\nquestion of money. It takes three to\nfour months to train a pilot. We have\nalready seen how quickly sturdy young\nmen can bo turned into excellent aviators. In less than a year It would be\npossible to have more than 5000 pilots.\nThese pilots would be trained for tho\nfirst few months in tho United States,\nand for the last months in tho American school that is now being created in\nFrance at Issoudun.\n\"The Important question is that of\nmaterial. Tho experience of the last\nthree years has permitted the allies\nto create models of military air\nplanes which fulfil all that is de\nmanded of them: Great climbing\nability, great horizontal speed, ease\nof handling at high altitude, and\npower to carry arms. The American\ngovernment hns tho possibility of\nbuilding these motors, and these\nplanes, and of giving them to their\npilots.\n\"If the government wishes to, bc-\n* fore the first of April, 1918, it can\n\u25a0have a tremendous aero flcot. Suppose It decided to havo only 5000\nplanes and 10,000 motors. In order to\nkeep that number of airplanes always\nat the front, it will he necessary\nto build 2000 planes and 4000 motors\nper month, viz.: 18,000 planes and 36,-\n000 motors dulng tho next nine months.\nTherefore, between Jan. 1, 1918, and\nDec. 31, 1918, tho United States must\nbuild 22,000 planes and 46,0000 motors.\nThis means a great effort on the part\nof the American factories. They can\nmake .this effort, as they have already\nthe buildings, the workmen and part of\nthe machinery needed. They also havo\na large number ot the best mechanical\nexperts and technicians. The size of\nthe orders given them will insure obtaining the money necessary to organize the plants for their construction.\"\nFRUIT JAR SALE\nFOR CA8H\nEconomy Jars\nPints, per dozen . $1.20\nQuarts, per dozen 31*40\nVi Gallons, per dozen S2(20\nPerfect Seal Jara\nPints, per dozen $1.05\nQuarts, per dozen $1(2&\nImproved Gem Jars.\nPints, per dozen SltOO\nQuarts, per dozen 81t20\nV2 Gallons, per dozen SI .60\nWhite and Red Currants, Eating\nand Cooking Cherries, Cabbage,\nHothouse Tomatoes, Cucumbers,\nNew Potatoes.\nJoy Bros.'
