Canada's industry has not been engaged in war work sufficiently long\nfor any man to be able to measure its peak.\nTo try and set a definite limit would not only be impossible but it might be disastrous.\nIn a war such as this it is the country which does more\nthan it thinks possible that is rewarded by victory, not the\ncountry which measures its strength by established rules.\nWe must break all precedents, smash all rules, and\nbase our production not upon what we think we can do but\nupon what the Empire needs. .\nWars are won by breaking precedents, by accoihplish-\ning the seemingly impossible.\nIt is in that frame of mind that Ottawa should give\n,leadej\u00bbhip.\nTHE COMING BATTLE FOR BRITAIN\nThe British have won a great preliminary victory\nover the Italians in Africa, the moral effect of which is tremendous in the Middle East, in Africa and in Asia.\nThe Greeks have astounded the world-by their historic\ndestruction of the Italian forces in Albania.\nBut\u2014None of us should allow ourselves to forget Lord\nBeaverbrook's statement in a broadcast on Tuesday that\nHitler is making colossal preparations for attempting again\nin the Spring the invasion of Great Britain.\nThat attempt will fail, but it will fail through the unremitting efforts of the democracies to supply Great Britain with aircraft, ships, guns, shells, food and such additional armed and technically trained manpower as may be\nneeded. '\nThe great and decisive battles of this war are yet to\niome. '.\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\nCanada is doing; much, but it must do very much more,\nto strengthen the Empire in the struggle against destruction by Germany. -;-\u00bb\u25a0'' \u2022 _,\n.' ,,'f.i\nOrt JAe.

These signs are narrl-\ned from the 12 constellations of the\nzodiac; wjth which the signs coincided in the time of the astronomer Hlpparchus, about 2000 years\nago. Owing to the precession ot the\nequinoxes, that is to say, the retrograde motiowof the equinoxes along\nthe ecliptic, each sign in the zodiac\nhas, in the course of 2000 yeara,\nmoved backward 30 degrees into\nthe constellation West of it; so that\nthe sign Aries Is now in the con\nstellatlon of Pisces, and so on: The\nsigns of the Zodiac with their Latin\nand English names are at follows:\nSprng signs \u2014 Arie,, the ram; Taurus, the bull; Gemini, the twins,\nSummer signs \u2014 Cancer, the crab;\n,Leo, the uon; Virgo, the virgin.\nAutumn ilgns \u2014 Libra, the balance;\nScorpio, the scorpion; Sagittarius,\nthe archer.

Long\nand bitter controversy resulted Irom\ntheir- failure to force the Dardanelles, gateway to Russia's -Black\nSea Ports and the heart of the\nO'.'.oman Empire.\nTwenty-five yean ago today the\nm 'n body of Allied troops was\nsuccessfully evacuated toom the\nclltf-bordered beaches ot the Gal-\nlipoli Peninsula. The operation was\n<_be of the few bright spots in 10\nmonths of naval and military war-\nftre against the Turks - fighting\nthat cost the Allies 130,000 men,\nkilled, wounded and missing.\nEPIC OF DARDANELLES\nEndurance of the Allied troops\nduring the land campaign that followed unsuccessful efforts of a\nfleet to Wait its way through the\nDardanelles is an epic in British\nhistory. Casualties in bitterly-fought\nbattles were augmented by losses\nfrom disease and through it all the\nexpedition suffered from shortages\nof men and supplies.\nA total of about 3_7,000 combatant troopi and 140,000 non-combatants were employed from time to\ntime in the Allied land operations.\nThe maximum strength at any one\ntime was about 85,000 combatant\nand -2,000 non-combatant.\nIndirectly tne campaign achieved\nnotable results in holding Turkish\narmies from other theatres of war,\nparticularly Palestine, Mesopotamia\nBnd Armenia.\nBut .political and strategi-al objectives that prompted the expedition were never achieved.

Instead,\nthe failure to force a quick victory to the side of the Allies, making poisible an attack on Germany'!\nSouthern frontiers. Instead, the\nfailure to force a quick victory was\nresponsible for Bulgaria joining the\nCentral .Powers and the'embroilment of the Allies in a strength\nsappitig campaign in the Balkans.\nVeterani ot the Gallipoli expedition recall names like Cape Helles,\nGaba Tepe (later known as Anzac\nCove) and Suvla Bay md the battles\nof Krithia, Achi Baba, Sari Bair and\nSuvla.\nMEMORABLE LANDING\n. Withering fire from Turkiah defenders on the heights above Amac\nCove failed to halt Australian and\nNew Zealand troops in their memorable landing on April 25, 1915.\nThey scaled steep cliffs and gradually dug themselves in in the face\nof great odds.\nThe Trojan-Horse story of the\ntroopship River Clyde is another\nof the unforgettable incidents. Jammed with troopi the old vessel was\nrun ashore and the men disembarked through an improvised gangway.\nWhen Turkey threw in iti lot with\nth eCentral Powers in October, 1814.\nRussia's water communications with\nthe rest of Europe were virtually\ncut off. The German Navy's blockade stopped her in the Baltic.\nWith Russia's Black Sea porta\nclogged with foodstuffs and other\nproducts and th epressing need for\nimports of munitions and war equipment, the plan to break through the\nDardanelles from the Mediterranean was given consideration by the\nBritish and French Government!\non Russia'! suggestion,\nThe question of mastering the all-\nimportant waterway had been studied by British naval and military experts many years before. Then lt\nwas agreed that, whether the campaign was to take the form of e\npurely naval expedition or to be\nthe teak of a combined army and\nnavy force, the enterprise wai\nbound to prove moat difficult. .\nWhen Ruuia appealed to the .'J*\nlies early in 1915 requesting that\nan attempt be made to open the\nDardanelles, no large bodies of\ntroopi were available. With the approval of Vice-Admlral Sir Sack-\nville Carden,- commander of the\nMediterranean Fleet, a purely\nnaval undertaking wai decided on.\nHe proposed a methodical advance\nwith a fleet attempting to destroy\nthe Ottoman forts in the Strait!\nand the clearing ol minefields sown\nln the channel.\nFLEET OPERATION\nFourteen British and four French\nwarships, many of them leml-obio-\nlete in view of the danger of the\nenterprise, steamed into the Western\nentrance to the Straits on Feb. 19\nbut it was not until a week later\nthat the outer Turkish forte were\nillenced.\nLargely because of the Inability\nof Allied minesweepers to make\nheadway under the fire of the Turks\nthe plan for, a methodical advance\ncollapsed. Vice-Admlral Cardon had\nbeen replaced by Vice-Admlral Sir\nJohn De Robeck and he decided on\na quick attack on the Narrows, only\na mile wide at one point. The operation op March 18 wat unsuccessful\nand three battleships were sunk. De\nRobeck then informed the Admiral\nty that the campaign could not be\ncontinued as a purely naval opera\ntlon.\nFrom this point the military began\nto assume the principal role In the\nEntente's efforts to secure control\nof the Dardanelles. After 42 yean'\nservice ln every quarter of the globe,\nSir Ian Hamilton was given command of a force of Britiih, Australian, New Zealand and French troops.\nThe veteran general hid Uttle to\nwork with. He htd a manual ot the\nTurkish army, an out-of-date admiralty report on Dardanellei defences and an old map.\nOn April 25, allied troopi mtde\nsuccessful landings at three of the\npoints where debarkation was attempted. But they were effected at\nterrific cost.

The other half are\nup the whole night, armed mostly\nwith spades, digging desperately into the earth.\"\nReinforcements were lent!, but\nitill there was a lack of men and\nsupplies, particularly high explosives. The Turks reorganized under\nthe German general, Li-nan von Sanders, were adequately strengthened.\nSeveral Turkish divisions were liberated for service at the Dardanelles\nwhen a Russian army destined for\nthe Bosporus was taken from Odessa\nfor ..vice ln Galicia.\nMonth after month the Allied\nforces clung to position! and fought\nbattle! on the peninsula. In the late\nFall Sir.Ian was replaced by Sir\nC. C. Monro who, after examining\nthe situation on the spot, declared\nunhesitatingIg for a complete withdrawal. I\/)i-d Kitchener was sent to\ninvestigate. He also reported that\nevacuation was the only justifiable\ncourse.\nUnder the noses of the Turkish\ndefenders the Allies set about the\nbusiness of withdrawal trom Suvla\nBay and Anzec Cove. Night after\nnight masses of war material md\nfood luppllei were removed and\nanimals got aWay. During the daylight ' houn guni boomed, reliefs\ntook plice as usual and pretences\nwere made of disembarking animals\nand supplies. The Turks were completely out-manoeuvred and on the\nmorning of Dec. 19 the skeleton\nforce withdrew from the trenches\nand embarked with only two casualties.\nThe evacuation of the forces at\nHelles on the extreme tip dt the\npeninsula was carried out success-\nhilly three weeki later.\nINSURANCE, ind REAL ESTATE\nR.

Dawson, City Engineer. Most of the Public Works\nmen, except those on maintenance,\nare now employed on the Waterworks Department Fairview main\nproject.\nliie complete report followa;\nGRADING\nThe year opened with the work\nof grade separation continuing in\nthe 1100 and 1200 blocks on High\nStreet, and with the work of installing a 10-inch lewer along Douglas Road from Anderson Street, being Sewer Project No. 41. There\nwere 18 men on the Public Works\npayroll, with from leven to 16 daily\non relief, while on the sewer project the numben varied from nine\nto 13 daily.\nSTREETS CLEARED\nOn completion of the High Street\nwork we carried'on a fairly large\namount of work at the North end\nof Vancouver Street removing large\nrock and grading, and we did some\nsmall amount of work removing the\nbank on Edgewood Avenue opposite\nthe Curling Rink entrance and in\nopening up the lane in Block 13,\nLot 150 West of Kootenay Street\nand North of Robson St.\nBy this time the Spring breakup\nhad arrived and very little further\ngrading work was done until Aprl\n16 when the work of execavaung\non Front Street and reballastlng and\nsurfacing'with premix i_phalt was\ncommenced. From then on We have\ncarried  out   the  following  major\n1. Grading and black-topping four\nblocks both sides of track on Front\nStreet; 2, Blacktopplng three blocks\non Victoria Street from Josephine\nto Cedar; 3. Blicktopping all that\nportion of Nelson Avenue fronting\nthe Hume School together with\nsidewalk there; 4. Excavating poor\nmaterial and reballaitlng four\nblocks on Third Street with the adjacent portion! of .Daviei Street;\n5. Grading of two blocks on Hendryx Street between Latimer and\nObservatory together with the removal of considerable portions of\nthe High School bank.\nMISCELLANEOUS JOBS\nSome of the less important worki\ndone during the year are enumer\nated as follows:\n1. Cribbing and grading East aide\nof Falls Street South from* Victoria; 2. Lane Weit of Josephine\nStreet North of Latimer; '\u25a0 3. Lane\nEast of Ward Street North of Mill;\n4. Removing large bed rock at intersection of View and Union\nStreets; 5. Grading boulevard West\nside ot Nelson Avenue opposite\nHume school; 6.

Grading of\nUnion Street West of Pine; 12.\nBlacktopplng of alley North of\nBaker Street West of Kootenay;\n13. Blacktopplng o' portion of Nelson Avenue by the Shardelow Tourist Camp.\nASPHALTING\nAs toon ai weather conditions\npermitted, we treated practically all\nexisting asphalt surfaces with a leal\ncoat, namely: Three block! on. Latimer Street; three, blocks on Kootenay Street: three blocks on Stanley Street; three block! on Silica\nStreet; four block! on Vernon\nStreet; one block on Hendryx\nStreet; one block on Baker Street;\nand a number ot smaller areas. For\nthese purposes 6700 gallons of asphalt were'used.\nDuring the year we have purchased four carloads ot M.C. 3 asphalt\u2014\na total of 25,851 gallons. The amount\nused in preparing pre-mix for the\nvarious new construction projecti\nimounted to 16,562 gallons covering\nan area of 11,800 iquare yardi Owing to the prevailing damp sand in\nthe pit 500 gallons of fuel oil were\nused to assist In mixing.\nIn addition to the new road project! as stated, we bave supplied the\nStreet Railway Department with\npre-mix for railway crossings and\nrepair work, which consumed 770\ngallon! of asphalt, and we supplied\nthe Parks Committee for Lakeside\nPark with another 300 gallons.\nSundry repair work and patching\ntook 1580 gallon!. A few small\npieces of asphalt were done for private owneri at their expense. By\nthe end ot the season we stored\na imall quantity in order to be in.\na position to treat chuck holes\nwhich may develop before the next\nyear's asphalting season comei on.\nEQUIPMENT\nDuring the yeir wt have purchased three new pieces of equipment, namely, the sanding machine,\nwhich wai put into use eirly to\nJanuary and proved very effective\nand two trucks.\nThroughout the year two trucks\nhave operated iteadily; trom April\n16 to November 9 there were three\noperating; and from May 14 to September 21 tht fourth wtt also ln\noperation. The total mileage of theie\nfour trucks tor the year amount!\nto 22,534 milei.   - ,\nOn November 9 we cloted flown\nnew construction work, leaving two\ntrucks on maintenance work alone.\nOn this date the majority of the\nPublic Worki crew! normally engaged on new conitruction work\nwere switched over to the water-\nworki project, Bylaw 1002. There\nare usually IS of such men on the\nwater ditching work, but as occasion demands some of these are\nwithdrawn when required on downtown work..    '\nWe had the shovel working continuously from April 16 to November 5 and during this time the\nshovel excavated, mainly from road\ngrades and iome smaller amounts\nfrom the High and Central Schooli\nground!, 8838 yardi of which about\n500 yardi wai hauled by private\ntrucka for convenience of cit'i.ns\nrequiring material, and the bal\u00bbnce\nby our City truck!, In addition the\nshovel loaded 6476 yardi of gravel\nfrom the Fairview and Roaemont\npits combined, miking a total of\n15314 yards'handled by the ihovel.\nCRUSHtR PLANT\nEarly to the leiion we entirely\ndismantled the cruiher plmt, purchased a number of new parti,\nchiefly for the elevitor and crusher,\nand re-assembled and started operating in the middle of March, and\nthe plant was kept in continuous\noperation up to November 12. During this time it produced! for street\ngrading, 4181 yards; for winter land,\n600 yards; for- the asphalt mixing\nplant, being sand and small crushed\nrock, 1298 yards.\nThe amounts sold amounted to:\nSand 537 yards; gravel 120 yardi;\ncrushed rock, 17 yards; a total oi\n674 yardi.   \u2022\nTotal produced by the crusher\nwas 6753 yards.\nSo that together with the amount\npreviously stated, as loaded by the\nshovel from the pits, the total production from the pits amount to\n13,229 yards.\nROAD OILING\nDuring the month of July we\ngave the whole of our gravelled\nroad system a treatment of fuel oil\nfor dust laying purposes, using for\nthis purpose 16,280 gallons.\nDRY STONE WALLS\nA number of dry itone wall projecti were put in hand and completed during the year. That on Carbonate Street,East from Josephine,\nand that on Hall Street North of\nLatimer were the largest, the first\nentailing the laying of 120 cubic\nyardi of rocks, and the second 67\ncubic yards. Other similar projects\nwere small quantities each in the\nfollowing lanes: 1. East ot Stanley\nand South of Robson Street; 2. West\not Kootenay Street South of Baker;\n3. West of Josephine, North ot\nHoover; 4. West of Josephine, North\nof Latimer. These comprise a total\nof 23 cubic yards, making a grand\ntotal of 212 cubic yardi.\nThii rock wai quarried from behind the Wtrehoute, from City owned block! on the Ymir Road, and\nfrom a number of large boulders\nln different parts of the City, That\ntrom the warehouse wai the cheapest to quarry, but the grade deteriorated so that we had to stop\nproduction from that source. Cutting and picking up rock from the\nroadsides is a more expensive way\not quarrying, but on the other hand\nremoving the rock from roadsides\nserves the additional purpose of\nassisting to the street grading.\nDRAINAGE\nThe work ot sewing and drainage\nhaa been carried on fairly continuously throughout the year, all\nbut small amounts being in the\nFairview District. The total footage\nof sewers and drains laid amounts\nto 7154 feet and consists of the\nfollowing: 10-inch, 1880 feet; 8-inch,\n723 feet; 6-inch, 3403 feet; 4-mch,\n1146 feet.\nThe 10-inch sewer wai laid\nDouglai Roid, and the 8-inch tewer\nwas divided between Fourth Street\nfor the Radio Subdivision local Improvement scheme, the Hendryx\nStreet storm water drain near, toe\nHigh School, and the extenilon of\nthe overflow lewer under the wharf\nat the foot ot Hall Street\nThe 6-inch leweri includes: 1079\nfeet in the Radio Subdivision local\nimprovement icheme; 366 feet on\nthe Elwyn and Sixth Street extenilon: 328 feet on Fifth Street South\nof Elwyn; 148 feet on Union Street\nWest from Pine; 260 feet on Union\nStreet above Douglai Road.\nSmaller amount follows: in block\n37 and 58A, and 800 block Sixth\nStreet, and a number of imaller\nlengths moat of which ire in con\nnection with draining catch basins,\nwhile the 4-inch tewer cover entirely new sewer connections to the\nnumber of 41.\nThere were 15 new manholes constructed and 40 new catch basins.\nThe manhole coven were purchased\nfrom W.
