He asked the questions, he said, because there was lull\nuneasy feeling thut there liad not been\nsufficient expert suprevision.

No scheme\nshould be attempted,  lie said, without\nthe approval of the highest naval and\nmilitary   authorities.     The   idea   of   a\nsmall cabinet reporting to a'full cabinet   on  such   matters,   Earl   Loreburn\ncharacterized as highly unsatisfactory.\nWhile discussing the censorship Viscount   Milner   said   lie   could   not   see\nthat   it   did   any   good   to   censor   tiie\nGerman   wireless   to   London,   that   if\nthe German reports were false it would\nbe   better   to   deny   them   than   to   let\nthem go unanswered, for in the latter\ncase  neutral  countries naturally came\nto the conclusion that Uhey were true.\nHe   referred   to   the   report   published\nin    the   I'nited   States,   alleging   that\nBritish sailors had murdered the commander of a   German  submarine -^1.*- a\ncase in point.\nCourtney's  Peace  Ideas.

The more one looked\non the papers  the more clearly did it\ntranspire that individual political reputations hud been most unfairly assailed\nand   that  those   Who   should   be   most\ndirectly attacked had nothing to fear.\nMilitary Viewpoint Counts.       \u201e\nEarl   l.oreliiirn. continued Earl  Curzon, appeared to think that experts always spoke with one voice,    That had\nnot been his experience In the last few\nmonths.   As to the contention that political consideration did not enter into\ntlie   war,   it   was  impossible   to  argue\nthe opinions of England's allies.   Their\nurgent appeals were not to be weighed\nin the  'balance  and  matters  ought to\nlie looked-at solely from the point of\nview- of generals and admirals.\nEarl Curzon said he agreed generally with the principles laid down by\nViscount Milner with regard to the\npublication of news but he thought\nit would be unwise,to .be unduly frank\nabout diplomatic njnd political situations which might jassuuie new forms\nfrom day to day. The government, he\nadded, was unanimous in .a desire to\ngive the public as much information as\npossible.\nAfter haiing praisjd the press for its\ndiscretion and loyalty, Earl Curzon expressed the view that more^news he\nprovided through the press bureau. He\nadded that the government wa.s endeavoring.to see whether arrangements-\ncould not be mado for -creating closer\ncontact between the press and the\nfighting   forces.\nReason Globe Closed Down\nDefending the censorship of the German wireless, Earl Curzon said he did\nnot see   why  England  should   become\n\"the   advertising   agent   for   German\ncalumnies and lies.\"   In defense of his\nministerial colleagues Earl Curzon said\nthe attacks, on  Premier Asquith were\n\"cruel slanders\" and that those on Sir\nEdward   Grey,   foreign  secretary,   filled him with \"indignation and shame.\"\nPublication  of  the Globe had  been\nstopped,    Earl    Curzon    declared,    because it made an untrue statement and\n\"assigned   that   statement   to  a   false\nand malicious reason.\"\n'   The publication liy the Globe of the\nstatement   thta   Earl   Kitchener,   war\nsecretary, had tendered his resignation,\nEarl Curzon went on, was made at o,\nmoment   of   an   international   crisis\u2014\nwhen   the   Greek  government had  resigned   and   when   it   was   doubtful\nwhether former Premier Venizelos was\nready lo resume the office or not \"and\nat a moment when Servia in its agony\nwas appealing for help and we were\ndoing our best to help it.\"\nAfter being warned, Earl Curzon\nsaid, \"the Globe repeated its aet and as\na result the government ordered its\nsuspension under the Defense of the\nRealm act.\"\nCabinet of Three Likely\nThc Marquis of Lansdowne announced that a small cabinet which some\npapers say will,consist of Premier Asquith, Arthur J.

For\nseveral years past, a German gentleman\nwhose position and profession were\nequally difficult to find, out, lived\namongst us, occupying quarters in the\nCaserio del Terreno.

But\nto attempt a history of artillery progress Involves a history of the army,\nand amounts to a history of scientific\nprogress,\nj    Curiously enough, tlie first record of,\ntlie   Royal Horse  artillery which  was-,\nformed In 1793) being employed In'jac\ntion  appears to\ndors, in 1794, w\n\"troop of galloper guns,\" as they were'\nthen called, behaved In so gallant a\nmanner that it was ordered to march\npast the whole of tbe allied armies,\nwhich were paraded in its honor.\nA Characteristic Feat\n(if the many famous batteries composing this section of the British \"army\nmention must be made of the celebrated \"Chestnut Troop\" (now A battery),\nwho covered themselves with glory In\nHolland in 17&!*: also Of Norman Ramsay's troop of \"Lightning Artillery\" in\nthe Peninsular\" war f\"noi.V\"\"I battery),\nwho. at the battle of Feuntes Ouoro,\nwhen surrounded by the French cavalry, limbered up and charged their\nway ont through the masses of their\nenemies.\nIndeed, no feat of arms is more renowned or more characteristic of the\ndash and daring of the Royal Horse\nartillery than the one mentioned, when,\nto quote Napier's vivid words, \"Suddenly the crowd became Violently agitated, an English shout pealed high*\nand clear, the mass was rent asunder,\nand Norman Ramsay hurst forth,,\nsword in hand, at the head of his battery; his horses, breathing fire,\nstretched like greyhounds along the\nplain', the guns- bounded behind them\nlike things of no weight and the\nmounted gunnerjs followed close, with\nheads bent low antl. \u201epointed weapons\nin desperate career.\"\nAt Waterloo the well known batteries of Webber Smith, Gardiner, Bull,\nNorman Ramsay, Mercer and Whln-\nyates, with Ross' and Meane's in reserve, were attached to the cavalry,\nand lost over 170 of all ranks nnd 309\nhorses killed and wounded.\nThrilling Episode of Waterloo\nOne of the most thrilling moments\nduring the great battle was when Capt.\nMercer and his battery of horse artillery turned cool, defiant faces to the\npnrushlng sea of French horsemen,\npouring into them round after round\nof case shot until the mass broke and\nebbed, a flood of shattered squadrons,\ndown the slopes. \"I actually saw\nthem,\" ;>.Mercer says, \"using the pom-\n\"mels'of their swords to fight their way\nout   of   the   melee.\"     Meanwhile   the\nformerly pitcher ot the New\na now ot the St. 'Louis\nlchm\u201e;,'.,'\" Hlo-nned to start Nov. 8\nE',';i!s-  It Is\n\"\"nil and\nOm.ihi\nworlc, westward as\n1\u00b0 for ti,A WhCTe the turn will be\nI'therlv I h0,mewara Journey along\n\"\"\"- extending Into New\n\u2022It routo\nu   tl*,..  i     ,   --\u25a0--'\u00bb\u00ab*\"'tt   iniu   now\nPon nftl ri1!81 flh00t M\"Z held in\n^ of th\" ^ttnksKiving.

When tbe\n\"moving acres of flat-capped Russians,\" Ifi.oOO strong, rolled in resistless flood on a mere' handful of C<Jli-\nnaught Rangers with Townseh.d's battery of six guns, the gunners had but\ntime to deliver one hasty shot liefore\nthey were submerged. When the last\nround was fired, Lieut! Miller, in command of the battery, bade his men\n\"Draw swords antl charge.\" lie rode\ncuit under the hail of bullets straight\ninto the enemy's midst, the gunners\nfollowed to a man; some armed with\nswords, some with ramrods, and one\nof them\u2014a famous boxer -relying\nbnly on his fists, with which he was\nseen to lay mnny a Russian low. The\ngreycoats got possession *<f the guns,\nfor, desperately as the artillerymen\nfought, they could not stay the enemy's advance, but it is satisfactory to\nknow that the battery was retaken not\nlong after and fought again under\nMiller and his gallant men.\nYet another hard fight at the gujis\ntook place at a battery where Kergt.-\n\u25a0lMajor Henry was in charge. When\nthe Russians were upon them he and\na private named Taylor drew their\nswords and made a desperate defense.\nTaylor was soon slain, however, together with nearly all the other gunners, and Henry badly wounded. A\nbayonet pierced his chest, another pinned him in the back and he sank to\nthe ground.\nAs not infrequently happened, the\nRussians continued to strike at the\nhelpless man as he flay at their mercy,\nthe result being that when, some time\nlater, Henry was rescued and found\nto be alive,Hhe had no fewer than 12\nterrible wounds. He lived, however,\nto wear his Cross for Valor with his\nfellow artilleryman. Miller, and to rise\nto the rank of captain.\nDuring the operations before Sebas-\ntopol two other heroes of the guns\nworthily won the coveted cross. Their\ndeeds are written large in the annals\nof the order.\ni'(,\":.i-dr him, ran out of ammunil\nArthur promptly volunteered to s\nply them and although be bad to c)\nrepeatedly an open space, on wl\nii hot fire was concentrated, he t\nI'led tlie ammunition stoves to\nWatting men.

Dixon's\ndefense of his battery. The latter was\nwrecked by n shell Mgiich, bursting In\nthe magazine, blew it up and destroyed five gun::, besides killing nearly all\nthe gunners. It was a great event for\nthe Russians, who t;heered and danced With Jpy at the result of the shot. ~\nBut they counted without Dixon.\nThe sixth gun of rhe battery, although\nhalf burled, in earth, was still workable. \u25baWith some help'he got the gun\nInto position again, loaded and sent\nan answering shot hurling into the\nenemy's battery, much to their surprise and discomfort\u2014to put it mildly.\nAnd it is to Dixon's lasting glory that\nhe worked that single piece until darkness ended the duel. The chagrined\nenemy peppered him without cessation throughout't!ie rest of that day,\nbut he bore a charmed life. The artillery captain,rose to be a major-general in after years,, with C.B. after his\nname, besides tlie letters V.C, while\nFrance honored him by creating him a\nKnight  of the  Legion of Honor.\nMemories of the Mutiny\nThe memorable part which the guns\nplayed ln the relief of Lpcknpw once\nagain revealed all the famous fighting |\nqualities which have made Hritish gun- [\nners a force to lie reckoned with In i\n.ictioii. When ilavelock's weary warworn army set out from Alumbagh on\nthe final march which wns to relieve\nLuclcnow, it was to encounter some of\nthe flrccst fighting of the .Mutiny.\nThey had lo run the gauntlet of a\nterrific fire of musketry and cannon\nshot before tlie enemy's batteries on\neither flank, from the torn fields, the\ngarden walls and every bouse roof.\nThe I'-ritish guns, courageously and\nSkilfully directed by Col. Maude\u2014the\n\\'.C\\ hero of Fettepore\u2014opened fiercely In answer to this, fire; but it was\nimpossible to live ln such 11 scourge of\nflame and destruction. Out rum himself was one of the first to be struck\nby a musket ball, which pierced his\narm; while many of the * very best\nartillerymen were laidtlpw.\n\"Sergt. Major Lamonf, the best artilleryman I have even known;\" says\nMaude, \"had the whole of his stomach\ncarried away by a round shot, lie\nlooked up at me for a moment with a\npiteous expression but had only\nstrength to utter two words, 'oh, God!'\nwhen he sank down on the road. Just\nthen another round shot took tiff the\nleg of our next senior sergeant, John\nKierman. A few minutes later a round\nshot took off the head of a young, gunner; for a second the body stood\nstraight up and then fell flat on the\nroad. But fast as the men of the. leading gun detachments were swept away\nby the enemy's fire 1 replaced them by\nvolunteers .from either  guns.\"\nIt was desperate and costly work,\nbut .Maude's brave lads stuck unflinchingly to it. Again and again Maude\nhad to call for volunteers from the\nMadras fusiliers, lying down under\ncover near him. The last gunner had\n.almost been shot down before the men\ngot the order to charge, when the\nMadras fusiliers drove the enemy in\npanic right before them.\nHeroes of Colenso\nIn the South African w;ar the artillery won laurels that can never fade.\nAt Colenso especially the magnificent\nheroism of the gunners simply beggared description. The thrilling story\ncan only be briefly outlined here.\nWhen two field batteries, under Cot.\nLong, dashed far ahead of the infantry\nand unlimbered a thousand yards from\nthe Boer trenches, they were assailed\nby such a deluge of lead as has seldom\nbeen known on the battlefield. The\nteams were simply mown down. Subjected to a deadly rifle fire from the\ntrenches In front and from the village\nof Colenso on the left and also by the\nPAGE THREE\n[tiick-fircrs on their right\nand gunners, officers and men,\n(Ulckly rendered hors de combat,\n'very gun was out of action, ex-\nne. This was still served by four\nring, desperate gunners. For a-\ntime this quartet of heroes seemed\nto bear a charmed life. One after th\u00ab\nother, however, eventually bit tho dust\nclinging to their beloved 15-pounder ttf\nthe hitter end.\nFor two hours the guns, each surrounded by*its fallen herogs. remained\non the bullet-swept plain, until at last\na desperate attempt was made to mVfti***-\nthem. 1-low Lieut. Roberts (Lord Roti-\nerfcs' only son) perished in the gallant\neffort is known to all. It was a hero'c\naud pathetic ending to a career full of\npromise, and fittingly crowned an.episode which will live in the history of\nthe artillery as long as tlie language\nitself.\nTheir deeds In the. present conflict\nhave repeatedly elicited the highest\npraise from Sir John French and glowing tributes to the courage and resourcefulness of British gunners- have\nbeen paid by other branches of the\narmy. Many a critical battle has been\nturned into a success by the artillery,\nand we may safely predict that in tfie\nultimate subjection of the enemy the\nheroes of the guns will have a tremendously bfg sny, for wherever glory arid\nhonor are to b<* found there you will\nassuredly find Britain's \"incomparable\nartillery.\" \u25a0\n\"You   mustn't\ncomment   impolitely^\nYou   might   be   b\njard.

It is\nentitled \"The Majesty of the Law\"\nand although many of the. anecdotes\nare well known the book, provides good\nreading. A few extracts may be of\ninterest. A declamatory speaker, Ran-\ndel Jackson, counsel for the East India\ncompany, who despised all technicalities and tried to storm the court by\ntlie force of his ^ eloquence on one\noccasion when uttering these words:\n\"In the book of Nature,* my lords, is\nwritten-*\u2014\" was Stopped by tliis question from Chief .Justice Lord Ellen-\nborough, \"Will you. have the goodness\nto mention the pane, sir, if you please.\"\nWhat the. reply was does not appear.\nA young; Irish barrister liegan bis\nspeech to the court in these terms;\n\"The . eagle soar-big high above the\nmists bf earth, winning its daring flight\nagainst a midday sun; until the contemplation becomes too dazzling fur\nhumanity and mortal eyes gaze after it\nin vain!\" Here the orator was noted\nto falter ami lose Die thread of his\nspeech'; he sat down after some rain\nattempts to hegain it. The judge said\n\"The next time, sir, you brin*,- an eagle\ninto court, I should advise you to clip\nits wings.\" No doubt the hint was\ntnken.\nLord Brampton (Sir Henry Hawkins) used to tell a story about. Mr.\nJustice ilaule. A liltle boy was being\nexamined as to his fitness tri give\nevidence on oath. He was put through\nall kinds of questions to discover if\nhe might be expected to understand\nthe nature of au oath \"And what becomes of people who toil iies\u2014when\nthey die?\" asked the counsel, \"if he\nknows that, he knows a great deal\nmore than _f. do,-,, interrupted Justice\nJlaule.qu.ie-tly.   \"Let the boy be sworn.\"\nSir Francis Palgrave asserted that\nwithin memory, at the trial of a causo\nat Merioneth when the jury was asked\nfor their verdict, the foreman answered: \"My lord, we do not know who\nis plaintiff or w-ho is defendant, but\nw-e find for whoever is .Mr. Jones' man\"\nIt turned out that Mr Jones had been'\nthe'successful candidate at a recent\nolection and the jury had been working\nin his interest. Another\" version of a\nsimilar story is tliis: There is a tradition current on the Welsh circuit of\nthe* great influence and ability of Mr.\nJohn Jones, one of the leading counsel, on one occa'sion, after one of\nMr. Jones' felicitous speeches on lie-\nhalf of his client in a criminal case,\nthe jury, as soon as the Judge liad\nsummed up, without waiting for tlie\nofficer to take tlieir verdict called out,\n\"My lord, we are all for John Jones\nwith costs.\"\n*\u2022* * **** ** ***\nCOLD STORAGE $\nThings to worry about:    The Mexican scltuation.\nEvery day Is Guy Fawkes day for\nthe German bomb artists wfcose efforts\nare directed toward destroying liners\nwhich are crossing; the Atlantic from,\nAmerican ports.\nEurope bought $74,000,000 worth of\nAmerican     automobiles     last     year,\nThrough the heart of the maze of the\nJungle of doubt,\nI have found the way out;\nThrough the blackness of darkness of\ninfinite  night\nThere arises a light;\nAnd I  follow  ii  on,  never  darinc' to\nroam,\nFor it'beckons me home.\n\"And what was the way you discovered the clue,\nSo infallibly true?\nRis link  grasping link   in  a  logical\nelutch\n.Or a thread you can touch'\nFiery   pillar   before   you'    or     planet\n\u25a0 above?\nIs it light?   is it love?\nIt  Is light from  the Love  that- des-\nfended to shame,\nAnd through death overcame-\nft piakes   the path  shine,  which   the\nmultitude shun,\nMore bright than  the sun*\nThrough   death's  agony  black,   drops\nof blood mark thc track\nLove's wounded feet run\nNo plumb-line of logic that rapture can\nsound, \u2014=*\u2014-i\nWhich   surges   profound\nIn the heart of a many who will follow\nLove's ray\nNever   swerving away,\nTill it leads out  of gloom  Into  sunshine and blue,\nAnd God is found true.\n\u2014C.

Haya ln Judge.\nBERLIN.\u2014An interesting phase in\nthe history of the war is furnished by\nthe evolution of \"K\" bread and its\nsuccessful development up to the point\nof the protest which is now being\nmade by a number of German newspapers,' which are calling on the government for immediate action in the\nmatter.\nThe German war bread began its\ncareer as \"K\" bread simply\u2014 Kriegs-\nbrot, or war bread. A little later It\nbecame' \"K. K.\" bread (Kartoffel\nKriegsbrot--potato war bread). Then\ncame a third formula., the \"K. K. K.\"\nbread (Kartoffel-Kriegs - Kommand-\nanturhi'ot, or potato war kommand-\nantur bread), This was followed by\"\na creation of the kaiser himself, the\n\"K. ' K ,K. K.\" bread (Kalserliches-\nKartoffel - Kriegs - Kommandantur -\nKuttur-1 rot, or imperial potato war\nkommandantur kultiir bread.\nFinally there appeared tiie \"K. K.\nK. K. K. K.\" bread (Kaiserliches-\nKartoffel - Kreigs - Kommandantur -\nKultur-Kolossal-bread).\nThe lead in the protest is taken by\nthe Volkeszeitung of Leipzig, which\ncalls upon the government either to\nend this '-(unnecessary and unseemly\nabomination\" or felse confess that its\nstories of vast stores of wheat are\nchildish inventions.    This paper says:\n\"No one will have failed to perceive that during tlie last few weeks\nour war bread, to which we had, little\nby little, become accustomed, has deteriorated to such an extent as to set\nup serious internal disorders.\nBread Tastes Vile\n\"Whether It be that the potatoes, of\nwhich- a proportion of 20 per cent is\nmixed with the flour are semi-putrid, or that the so-called flour itself\nis bad, we do not know, but certain\nit is that we are not at all surprised\nat the intestinal complaints which its\nconsumption is causing.\n\"Tlie bakers are not to blame. They\nare simply acting in obedience to\nregulations which were acceptable\nenough at the time they were Issued\nbut which now\" with the approaching\nwinter are sure to produce lamentably\nserious effects on the health of the\npeople.\"\nThe fight against the high cost of\nliving is also one of the favorite topics of thc German press. In this connection the Fremdenblatt of Hamburg says:\n\"Truly the patience and long suffering of our housewives is being tried\nbeyond human endurance.\n\"To the authorities it Is seemingly\nnot enough that the prices of 'daily\nnecessities have risen in many eases\nby 75 per cent over the normal, The\npeople also must be victimized by\ndealers who defraud them mercilessly while the government and municl-\nproper\nIs told\n\u25a0I*   pur-\npal functionaries who are paid to do\nso refuse'to lift a finger lo protect\nthem.\nBuyers Are Cheated\n\"Citizens are urged, nay, . almost\ncommanded, without cassation, to cat\nless meat antl fish and consume moro\nfruit, of which this year we have an\nabundant crop.

Oermans in tho\ntrenches are allowed to inform the peo.\npie at home that bravery and military'\nresourcefulness are nut exclusive German eharaeteriatisticS, and even to rebuke those who continue to madly\ncheer for tlie war.\nRhine Ready for   Peace.\nHe says that the recent peace demonstration ordered by the cardinal\narchbishop of Cologne would have\nheen impossible six months ago, and\nthough the actual procession was\nfrustrated at the last moment by.the\nauthorities, tliey - feared to Interrupt\ntlle preparations which had preceded\nit, knowing very well that the archbishop represents the feeling in tiie\nRhine provinces and in other parts tif\nwestern and southern Germany,\nwhere the majority of the people are\nRoman- Catholic.-*: For. months past\nthe archbishop* has been advocating\npeace, and when he announced that\nupon September 20 there would be a\nprocession In Cologne of those in favor\nof ending the war at once, thousands\nof Roman Catholic clubs and societies\nprepared to lake part in if. The authorities hesitated to interfere until it\nwas announced that the Socialists were\nto participate, when they forbade it on\nthe ground that it would lead to disorders. So the demonstration was can.\nreled, but nobody has ventured to rebuke the archbishop, who continues\nhis demands.\nVorwarts Protests.\nIt is the rise in tiie cost of living,\nan despeciully in the price of food.\nthat increases more than -anything\n.\u2022lb.- the growth of war weariness. A\nremarkably outspoken comment on\nthe food question which appeared in\nthe Socialist Vorwarts was as follows:\n\"one of the most dangerous deceptions perpetrated .luring the war is\nthe pretense that Germany, although\nout off from all her overseas supplies,\ncan feed her own population. The\nfact Is that the population 'of German cannot be properly fed by products of our own country. The war\nhas proved beyond all doubt that it is\nimpossible tb produce enough articles\nof nouriishment or to raise a sufficient\nnumber of cattle to feed the German\n]peuul\u00a3 without foreign assistance. It\nis true that we shall be aide to hold\nout for some limited time, but only at\nthe cost of the health and strength\nof the nation, now being undermined\nby systematic deprivation and underfeeding.\"\nTextile Industry Ruined.\nFrom another source it is learned\nthat the great textile industries of\nGermany are stagnant. Tliis is caused\nby a law of raw materials, and means\nthat nbt only are hundreds of thou-\nSandfMlf people out of employment,\nmany of whom, of course, are serving\naa soldiers, but that there Is Increasing difficulty in supplying the forces\nwith clothing. The government Is being called upon to provide for idle men\nwho are not fitted for military duties,\non public works, to furnish temporary\nfinancial assistance to those without\nmeans and to keep the insurance policies of all of them in force until tho\nend of the war. The German government may be able to solve this problem, as It has solved others in the\ncourse of the past 15 months, but it\nis in the position of a tiring horse obliged to face one fence after another, each\nhigher than the one before. Pressure\nfrom within and from without increases, and while such enterprises as\nGermany is now conducting in Serbia\nmay {emmirnrily cheer the people It\ndoesT\"not*'lessen unemployment, reduce\nthe cost of existence to the masses of\nGerman people, nor does it lessen tlie\nterrifying lists of dead und wounded\nwhich stare the readers of newspapers\nIn the face each mowing.\t\nYou'll Have to Hurry\nK You  Want Your  Winter's\nSupply of Oats Cheap\n\u00b0NE-THIRD   OF   THE   CAR   WENT   YESTERDAY\nHE OATS ARE  LOOSE\u2014BRING YOUR  OWN  SACKS\nThe Taylor Milling &\nElevator Co., Ltd.\n,******\u00bb**,\nKootenay and Boundarpi\n\u25ba \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2022><\nKASLO TO DOUBLE\nSecretary   Nation   Speaks  of  Work   of\nOrganization and   Business-Like\nMethods  Employed\nI Special to The Dally News.)\nKASLO, B, C':, Nov. 8.\u2014I-\\ Nation of\nVictoria, secretary of the patriotic\nfund, addressed a meeting in the city-\nhall Friday night.

The inter-\nchecking system employed in the disbursement of relief was so carefully\nworked out thai not a dollar could be\nmisappropriated either by accident or\nintention. In proof of this it was cited\nthat, after careful investigation of the\nbusiness methods employed, conservative institutions, such as banks, milling concerns and other large-business\norganizations, endorsed the scheme by\nmaking contributions through It of\nmany hundred thousands of dollars\nannually. After hearing tlie figures,\nby a little mental arithmetic it could\nbe seen that this district would-.re-\nQUire to abdut double Its contribution\nnext year, for the reason that the number of recruits had so grown that\nlarger relief would be necessary for\ntheir dependants.\nS. .1.

Both of these meetings were\nheld in the lumbermen's building** at\nthe Panama International exposition at\nSan l-Y-jncisco.\nConditions in British Columbia are\ndealt with in a letter sent to the president of the association by Hon. VV. lt.\nRoss, from which the following quota?\nlion is made:\n\"It is with great regret that I find\nmyself unable to attend your meetings\nat San Francisco. I desired'particular-\nI.v to be present at the discussion of\nrenditions affecting the lumbering industry.\n\"It seems to me that there has-been\ndefinite progress during the pi'-esPnt\nyear.    ,1\n\"Discussion 'of what is wrong with\nthe Industry is becoming\" clearer and\neffort along definite lines Is beginning\nto take shape. From tliis side of the\nline we are watching with great interest your work of rephiffilg demoralization hy organization and of endeavoring to secure to wood its legitimate market.\n\"As you know no government is so\nclosely identified with the lumbering\nindustry as it that of British Columbia. Present prosperity, public revenue and future development in this\nprovince depend very largely on the\nprofitable marketing of our . forest\nproducts. Hence the situation of the\nlumbering business'is viewed with the\ngreatest concern hy the. government,\nand every method of restoring the industry to sound health is being studied hy us: For the moment we are\nconcentrating upon the conservation of\nlumber markets, to secure our products\ntheir lull legitimate market, and check\nthe shrinkage in consumption from\nwhich wood has suffered so seriously\nin the past few years. Government\ncampaigns of advertislng^have, in tlie\npast, been nf considerable effect when\napplied to immigration or the marketing of fruit. Tlie official campaign we\nnow have In progress is, I believe, the\nfirst one that has been launched on he-\nhalf of the lumbering industry. We\nintend to push the work vigorously\nand to use-the most effective and modern methods of publicity. Pamphlets,\nnewspaper articles and advertisements.\nfarm building bulletins, moving pictures, and adaptions of some of the\nfertile ideas so successfully developed\niu the forest protection movement iu\nthe'west will all be used in an intensive artillery fire directed at the consumer. We are fortunate in securing\nthe hearty cooperation of the agricultural authorities and other agencies\nnow actively engaged in pushing the\nbetter-farming, more-lumber-cohsum-\ning movement.\" i i-\nU.S.\nARE FIGHTING HUNS\nOne  of  Over  Two  Thousand   Now   in\nFrance  Gives  His  Reasons.\nLONDON\u2014When Major-General Sir\nSam Hughes was over here he declared that some 2000 young men\nfrom tbe United States had joined th\"\nCanadian contingents ndw fighting iu\nFlanders. He added that about 100\nof these had fallen. What induced\nthese men to join the Canadian forces\nis explained liy one of the men who\nproved his wortii in the trenches beyond Ypres. in addition to revealing\nthe motives of his comrades he tells\nthe world what they think of the\npresent situation:\nIf Roosevelt had been president instead of Woodrow Wilson it would he\na case of the ITnited States army\nfighting in Flanders today and not a\nmere couple of thousand with the Canadians.\nIn. the first place We are not fighting primarily because we come from\nthe same old stock; That is not it ut\nall: it is because we are both the outcome of the same principle. An ordinary scrap between Britain and Ger,\nmany purely out of trade rivalry\nwould have left the !.'. S. A. cold: we\nshould have looked upon it much as\nthe Spaniards watch a .bull tight; und\nwe rather expected it would eome\nalong some day or other.\nWhat moved us was those first few\nweeks of the devastation of Belgium.\nThat settled me and a good many-\nmore of us. We gave our names as\nCanadians, and came over with the\nfirst contingent. And I can. tell you\nwe have seen more than enough of\nGermany to raise 10,000,000 men -in\ntlie States, if only we were allowed.\nThe Berlin papers may send ever\nboatloads of cooked-up accounts and\nJustifications by tbe yard, hut nothing\nwill Welgn in the balance against what\nour fellows have seen with their own\neyes in Flanders aloiig with the Canadians. There have been sights that\nwe could not tell our women, and\nwliieh would make our men see red\u2014\nsights that make the men in the\ntrenches when once they rusli forward, cry out: 'TNo prisoners! No\nprisoners!\" And that is saying a great\ndeal when you realize the jolly boys\nthey all are, and how they like fair\nplay and mercy to a conquered foe\nAll that is wasted on the Germans.\nProud of Britain's Attitude.\nI can tell you the effect the war\nwill have in America, lt is going to\nsolve one of our biggest problems. It\nwas always a question , which race\nwas going to be top-dog with lis\u2014the\nBritish or the Germans\u2014and the Irish\nelement practically held the .balance.\nWell, the violation of the neutrality\nof Belgium and the way Britain came\nln on the side of the small states completely altered the old feeling of distrust, and us for Germany she \"did\"\nfor herself.\nBesides, the Teuton never really became, an American even before the\nwar.

S.\u2014-Until the\n\u25a0closing hour the most conspicuous\nfeature of today's market was relative\ndulness. Trading was altogether professional with a moderate upward\ntrend after the opening. In the last\nhour the list developed a *- sudden\nweakness which not only completely\nobliterated previous early gains but\nscored some net ldsses. Chief among\nthese were Canadian Pacific in the\nrailway group and United States Steel\namong the leading industrials. Cana*\ndian Pacific fell from its top prico of\n1S'% and closed at 18294.

For the past\nfew months i-hv scarcity of small\nchange has been gradually increasing,\nand it Is now culminating in a positive\nfamine. All the big shops are forced\nto give stamps in change, replying to\ncomplaints:\n\"You can pay with them for what\nyou  buy next.\"\nScuffles have occurred on subway\ntrains and in street cars owing to the\nrefusal of conductors to take anything\nbut the exact fare. Tho railway stations are placarded, with  notices:\n\"Have the exact\" sum ready; no\nchange given.\"\nThe leading shops are forced to buy\ncoppers at a premium\u2014fines have\nbeen Inflicted ln provincial towns on\npersons attempting similar transactions\u2014yet the mint authorities say\nthat never was so large a quantity of\ncopper coinage in circulation as today.\nIn popular view, German machinations are the cause. The Germans\nneed copper? Sous are copper. Therefore the Germans seized sous. 'That\nis the Inevitable conclusion. Persons\nare said to ha%;e been arrested on the\nSwiss frontier laden wfth packs of\nsous. Twenty tons of copper coins\nhave been discovered, it is solemnly\nasserted, in the hold of a ship captured in the Mediterranean on Its way\nfrom Barcelona to a Levant port. It\nis even asserted that organized gangs\nof sou hunters work ln the subway\ntrains and street cars to collect the\nprecious copper for Germany\u2014the\nmore plausible suggestion that such\npersons are acting for the big. stores\nbeing indignantly rejected.\nThe fact remains that sous are uncomfortably scarce. The probable\nreason is the vast extension of petty\ncommerce on the front, for which\ncopper is needed in unprecedented\nquantities, with the British thero are\nnearly five million soldiers, including\nthe subsidiary services, all constantly\nmaking small purchases and demanding a plontltude of sous*. The shortage\nthus created is exploited by small\nspeculators who, at a premium of from\ntwo to four cents on a dollar, snatch a\nscanty living:\nThe Inhabitants-of a frogpond close at\nhand awakened two little girls who\nwere spending their first niSt In the\ncountry. -t>r \\_\/\nFirst came the high, piping voice of\na little \"peeper.\"\n\"What's that?\" whispered Wlniile.  ,\n\"I think It's a bird,\" ventured Susan.\nJust then a basso profundo frog sang\none of his lowest notes.       \u25a0-'-\u25a0.        --\u25a0'\u2022\u25a0\n\"What's that?\" came another startled\nwhisper.\n\"I ain't quite sure,\" came tho answer, \"but I think it Is either a cow or\nan automobile,\"\nAfter the million German crimes in\nBelgium, crowned by the murder of\nMiss Cavell, it ,1s almost an anti-climax\nto receive the eighteenth report of-'tho\ncommission of enquiry which has been\ninvestigating. Germany's violations of\nthe rules of civilized warfare and\nwhich has been forwarded to this office by the consul-general for Belgium\n'\"\"Canada, says the Toronto Mail and\nEmpire.' There is nothing- here for\ntears, und yet we. gain from the report\nan idea aof the steady heroism of the\nhundreds of thousands of Belgian\nworkmen who remained at home after\nthe German Invasion and have since\ncome under the authority of the Germans. We are tolfl. how in the face\nof fines and imprisonment and even\nbanishment they have steadfastly refused to work for their taskmasters.\nThey have; Ignored wages that would\ngive them to-ewyWay more tlian they\nhave earned In any week, and knowjng\nthat they were at the mercy of their\neonquerers they have persisted in their\nrefusal*to do any work that might be\nIn the interest of Germany'.\nIn   Love  and  War.\nWe have an old vicious saying* to\nthe effect that all is fair in love and\nwlftri and nothing more foreign to the\ngenius of British ]ieoPl.R_was ever made\nInto a proverb. Pro-Germans, however quote the saw in order to justify\nGermany in many inhuman practises\nshe has adopted. They say that if\nexplosive bullets will more surely lead\nan army to victory the army ought\nto adopt them, since, the end in view\nis death to the enemy, and a man can\ndie but once, no matter what sort of\na bullet is employed. It. is to be admitted that some pf the conventions\nof warfare amount to no more thani\na discussion Whether a man should\nlie killed*, liy the point rather than toy\nthe edge of the sword. They do not\nattempt, howexer, to defend the practise of a nation agreeing with other\nnations to abide by certain rules which\nit had an equal voice in framing and\nthen, at the first necessity departing from these rules. Those who say,\nall is fair in love aud war would not\ndare to argue that dishonor and treachery are fair.\nHeroic Engine Drivers.\nOne of the articles in The Hague\nconvention which Germany subscribed\nto forbids an occupying force to exact\nfrom the districts of an occupied country forced lubor which obliges t'hose\nwho perform it to take part In an act\nof war against their own country. That\nis to say, if the Germans ocupied Toronto they could fnot oblige Toronto\nmotormen to run curs carrying German troops to a point where they**ould\nengage the Canadian army. At the\nffague convention Germany agreed to\nthis and it is to be observed that at\nthis convention Germany wus not the\npolite seconder of. every proposal put\nforward. She advanee-L ideas ,jb\u00a3* her\nown and -oth\u00a3r~td(.'u*4* ~she'ts,>i'issented\nfrom. That she should observe the\nrules to which. she objected 'at the\ntime is'not to be wondered at; but\nthis particular rule she approved. In\nBelgium she has persistently violated\nit. She has sought -fry .every means in\nher power to force railway employees\nto return, to their throttles and move\nGerman armies to and\" fro across the\ncountry. Owing to their refusal it is\nsaid that several accidents have occurred, the German engine drivers being unaccustomed to the steep grades\nupon some of the Belgian railways.\nBanished from Belgium.\nWhen the mechanics first refused to\naccept the high pay offered them, it\nwas announced that they would be\nstarved into submission. Steps' were\ntaken to cut them off from the food\nsupplies sent to Belgium from Great\nBritain and the United States., They\nsurvived, however. Then they were\ntold that unless they returned to work\nthey would be sent to Germ-any where\nthey would be forced to do whatever\nwork was assigned to them without\npay. Some (hundreds were thus expatriated, and though there is ncrnews\nof their fate, it is safe to assume that\nif they did not obey obey orders they\nwere shot. However, this did not solve\nGermany's problem in operating the\nrailroads of Belgium, where special\nmechanics were required. The.German invaders sought to apply .presi\nsure to the municipal authorities as\nwell, and oblIg;ed them to issue instructions to all engine drivers that\nthey would never be prosecuted in\nBelgium should they resume work.\nWhen they disregarded these announcements and failed to report their\nmayors and councillors were fined anil\nImprisoned.\nWire Workers Strike.\nAt Sweveghem there is an important\nbarbed wlro factory When the the\nGermans ocupied. the place and ordered\ngreat quantities of barbed wire the\nemployees revolted. The Germans arrested the municipal officials and eventually forced every able-bodied man\nIn the town to report at the factory\nfor work The citizens still refused\nto work for the destruction of their\nfellow-countrymen. Many of them\nwere imprisoned and their wives and\nfamilies ill-treated. They remained\nfirm, however, and whatever wire was\nturned out of the works was due to the\nefforts of German sbldlers, who had\nto drop tneir weapons and become mechanics for t'he time (being. The recalcitrant workmen are still subject\nto persecution and will be treated like\nfelons so long as the Germans remain\nIn occupation of their country. Their\nstubborn refusal to work, however, Is\nhelping their country not less effectively than the activities of their fellows who have taken to the trenches;\nand when the war Is oyer they will be\nremembered* as gratefully as the\narmies In the field.\nTHE COMING OF AUTUMN AND THE\nFATE OF A MOUNTAIN MINE GARDEN\n(By Prof. Arthur Lakes.)..\nAt this, season when \\he,trees are\nturning gold nnd orange, nnd the undergrowth here and there russet and\npurple, when the maples along our\nsidewalks ure passing from orange to\ncrimson and their ripe leaves are dropping in the street and on the sidewalk,\nnot dead but ripe, for leaves do not die\nin autumn but ripen as apples ripen,\nand fall to the ground, and might well\nbe gathered in heaps and packed away\nto really die, und decompose and become rich leaf mold manure for other\ngarden crops next year.

They may Hke, perhaps, to\nknow how in miners' phi-ase the experiment \"panned out.\"\nWe wore bound to have n. garden nt\nthe mine, ifartly because we had always been used to a garden and partly\nbecause every one said It was impossible to have one at that altitude and\nunder the conditions. Our miners took\nhold of the Idea and dug a trench\naround tho boarding house and office\nbuildings, found simp- strong gravelly\nearth in the. bed of* a neighboring\nstream, screened it through thc meshes\nof an old wire bed mattress fronf the\nbunk house, brought the fine sifted\nearth in sacks on their backs till thc\ntrencli was filled for a flower garden.\nThen they decided to have a kitchen\ngarden by driving'^d-r-fbjhts into the\ndump on the bill side,\"with mine lagging fenced off a little banging garden six feet deep.\nFrom the stables in the. valley tram\nbuckets of manure were brought up\nanil with the earth;, from the creek the\nenclosure was filled with a good, rich\nsoil. For growing cucumbers an old\nwater barrel was similarly filled -and\nboxes arranged about the place for\nearly lettuce, radishes, niusiard and\ncress, onions, etc.\nAll being ready, flower and vegetable\nseeds were sown, which in due time\nbegan to conic up and gave us hopes of\n.a nice little flower and kitchen garden.\nTUESDAY\n______ **   \"'\"\"-I-Mijji\nLSiit  with   tin*  \u201e.,   ~~^\n'\"\" \"\"\u25a0 \u25a0'\u25a0'\u25a0-'\u25a0- a c,i\u201e  Si\nWound spulrreh- \u201ei* V\" \u00bbffl\ntastes.

Tlu- ilunia\nbecame the voice of the people, pro-'\nclaiming anxiety, pain, dread'. In\ngreat stress better than tin* people\nhave a voice, otherwise they may go\nmad. The duma affords a, great relief. Let. the people be angryr let\nthem cry hopelessly, foolishly. Dry\nafter day has had its bitterness, anil\na store of tears hus accumulated and\nmust be shed. From, the body of the\npeople so many have been 'cut off,\nriven away like young leaves from\nthe trees in spring storms. There Is\na  terrible  sense  of laceration and\/Tif\nbleeding   wi Is.     A   Russian   wohuin\nWho recently received a letter from\nthe ps\u00bbr had lost five sons, all that\nshe had. A year ago she could point\nto five handsome boys and say: \"He-\nbold the significance of my life.\" Today that significance is fled. There\nis no sense loft, no words, only tears\nand a  dreadful  silence.\nDuring this summer Russian newspapers have been read not so much\nfor the military news, which was nf\na terrific significance In itself, but for\nthc political news and tin* speeches in\nthc duma. Unusual freedom of\nspeech was allowed to the duma. ami\nl similar freedom to tbe press in reporting tlie speech es. All manner of\nscandals were ventilated, and publicity wa.s given to thoughts, accusations, griefs, and aspirations that in\nthis country would lend to get. hushed up. *,K;u*h copy of a Russian newspaper flaring .Vugust and September\nwas a sort of symposium of views of\nthe condition of Russia. The function of tbe duma seemed to be a kind\nof literary or journalistic function\u2014\nto express in speeches what everyone\nwanted to. say. Most private telegrams sent' in Russia this summer\ntook two or three days, because the\nwires were all occupied with tbe\nspeeches of the duma being telegraphed to every provincial news-,\nnewspaper.\nA great political development begun to take place; however, aftor the\nfall of Rovno, when it became clear\nthat thc great defensive line of\nKovno-Grodno-Brest was not really\ntenable, and that the heart of Russia was in danger from the enemy.\nThen thc political leaders of what is\ncalled the Left in the Russian duma\nsaw a new prospect of power. Thoy\nhad become \"the voice\"; they would\nnow become \"the will\" of Russia,\nwould govern Russia. The oncoming\nof the Germans rendered the internal\norganization of Russia unstable. There\narose the munitions scandal and all\nover Russia was whispered the dangerous watchword, \"Wc have been betrayed.\" The police answered with the\nequally mysterious phrase, \"The ulr is\ntoo close, wc must open u window.\"\nThe working men In the factories became more wild. Thc soldiery began\nto return to true Russian soil and to\nlisten to the scandal of the rear. After\nthe full of Brest the troops began to\narrive at .Moscow, a magnificent army,\nresolute, splendid, exalted in temperament by their arrival in the ancient capital, * To every large city\ncame tens *>f thousands of penniless\nfugitives, the stricken population of\nthe Pale now permitted to settle in\nRussia. These brought with them a\nterrible beggary, personal despair, a\npredisposition to alarm. On their way\nthey Impeded the retreat of armies,\nthreatening confusion. Petrograd\nseemed to lie In danger. Then' the\nczar, by his brave and Idealistic, act of\ntaking command, yet endangered his\nsacred  personality.\nA Safety Valve\nAll these circumstances and many\nmore that cannot well be mentioned\nplayed into thc bunds of RadicalRus-\nsla. Confusion was apprehended, is\napprehended, and In. that confusion\nsome have been foolish enough to\nthink that It would,be possible to do\ntwo things at thc same time, defeatj\nGermany and obtain a 'fundamental\nchange In government, Thc policy of\nthe political agitators, the extreme left,\nhay been to stir up trouble among tbe\nworking-class population and then\" to\nimpnto the resultant strikes and outrages to the provocation of the police\nor the German-Russians. Fortunately\nthe men of the duma, Liberal and\nConservative alike, know that Internal\ndlsordor In.Russia is merely gain tn\nthe enemy, and ln spite of Its extreme\nrevolutionary elements, the duma is\nhelpful. It still is, and can he, a safety\nvalve.\nThe most astonishing political phenomenon of the last six weeks has\nbeen the liberalizing of Conservative\nRussia. In order to save Russia, the\nConservativesc have made a compact\nwith all the moderate Liberals and\nhave given their adherence to, a Liberal program. This has. been reflected ln the press, and the Novoe\nVremya, corresponding fairly closely\nto tho Times In polltlcnl tone, has become the organ of the Liberal alliance. Thus rose the \"Progressive\nBloc,\" led by M. Mlllukoff, a pooling\nof political Interests which has caused\nmore talk In Russia than any event\nof the war. i Sukhomlinoff had deceived the dufna by, jHlllQg.lt.iliat Rus-\nm.ule responsible to the duma i'or their\nW|(i*i1h and their actions.- A brief\nstruggle of opinions took place.\/The\nConservative element wished all tho\nenergies of the blot* to be devoted to\nthe tracking down of German influence, the dismissal of all people guilty\nof acceptance of German money, the\n''\u25a0lease of Russian industry and finance from the grasp of the Germans;\nbut the Liberals wonted the responsibility of the cabinet to the duma and\nthey overruled the wiser counsel. Revolutionary agitation in Russia just\nnow is ln all probability engineered\nby German, money and a pure Russia Is not the first thing desired by\nthe Labor party and the Socialists.\nAs a result of the adherence to the\nLiberal choice, M. Goremykin obtained thc prorogation of this session until'\nNovember,\nThe Storm\u2014and After\nThe prorogation was thc signal for\nan astunishijjg storm\u2014in all the political clubs, In the factories and among\nthe people. Everyone feared the\nworking men and the strikes and possible riots, the long-threatened Internal confusion which so .endangers\nRussia that which is ' loved by all\n'rue Russiank There was a week of\nanxiety with-' hjII manner of rumors,\naiul then we 'realized that for the\ntime being tho danger was over, Ibe\nworkmen had gone bach to their work,\nthe movement not being ripe. That\nwhieli the Germans hoped for failed\nto consummate itself.\nAs u result of a conference of the\npolitical leaders witli the czar, the\nduma will resume its sittings at a\nlittle earlier date and probably with\na greatly modified and moderate program. The work of the duma will\nprobably be confined to the consolidation of all Russian efforts for resistance to the Germans and the winning of the war. . The war has put a\nterribly unexpected strain on the re-\nsources'of Russia. Thc personal, material and financial strain is increasing month by month and every effort\nof the reasonable elements in the duma\nis necessary for banding the nation I\ntogether for resistance to the* strain.     I\nThe duma as an institution is safe, i\nit I.s growing. It has destiny written\nin its fabric. It can afford to be I\nPatient, for it has plenty of time,\nAfter lhe \"war the financial condition\nof Russia wii lie such that only\nthrough tbe duma will she be able io\nsave herself, for it will he Impossible\nto raise adequate sums by taxation\nwithout an Intimate interchange of\nopinion     with     the     people     in     the\ndepths.\nGERMANY'S SUPPLY\nOF FOOD WILL HOLD\nNot   As   Well   Off  As   Formerly\u2014But\nThey Are Not Starving\nLONDON.\u2014Discussion of Whether\ntjie food situation In Germany really\nis as serious as has been pictured recently in some reports is continued by\nIhe newspapers. The Daily Mail believes it misleading to say Hint Germany is starving, or in imminent danger of starvation, but adds:\n\"There is no denying that food conditions there are vastly less favorable\nthglt at the outfeet of the first winter\nof the war. Last year, it is pointed\nout, Germany's domestic harvest was\nbetter than the average, and she had\nhuge supplies in storage. This year's\nharvest, according to reliable Dutch\nreports, was under the normal mainly because the midsummer drought\nlusted two months, but in spite of this\nthe potato crop was unusually large.\nThc fodder question is believed to be\nthe most important for Germany, as\nmost of the supply formerly wa.s obtained  from Russia.\"\nTbe Post says it has learned that\nRumania has decided the prices of\ncereals for export shall be double\nthose for home consumption, and\nthai payment must be made in gold.\nAn order for the commandeering of\nall flour in Hungary went into effect\nyesterday, according to Berne despatches.\nThe Chronicle declares* Germany, is\nfar from the end of her food resources, remarking upon German ingenuity in providing adequate substitutes for each article as it becomes\nloo scarce for general consumption.\nIn this connection the Chronicle calls\nattention to advertisements in German newspapers for imitation eggs,\nlard, artificial, honey an.d straw flour.\nother London papers emphasize\nthe bearing which the. Britisli submarine blockade in thc Baltic is likely\nlo have on Germany's supply of certain foodstuffs. It seems to be taken\nfor granted\" that Germany's connection with Sofia and Turkey cannot be\nprotected soon enough to' have any\nconsiderable bearing on the food situation this winter.\nMILLION  UNIONISTS . *>,*\nIN  KAISER'S ARMY\nBERLIN.\u2014The Socialist Monthly\npublishes statistics showing that on\nJuly 31 more than 1,000,000 members\nor German trades unions, or about 42\nper cent of the total membership, were\nin the.army.\nMADE TO DO GOOSE STEP;\nCALLED CANADIAN SWINE\nala had sufficient ammunition, whore-\nas Hhe had not.

He\nclaimed that as the result of the accident several of his organs were incurably injured.\nHe bases his claim against the\nlumber company on the grounds that\nthe guard rail behind which he was\nstanding was not sufficiently strong to\n.withstand the impact of the log, and\nthat if the rail had been more substantially built the accident would not\nhave happened. Cross-examined by J.\nA. Harvey, K.C, who appeared for the\ndefense, he admitted having been in\na number of large saw mills were no\nguard rails were used at all.\nPeter Bqpks was the next witness.\nBeing questioned by Alexander Mac-\nneil, who appeared for the plaintiff,\nhe stated that he had been employed\nby the Nicola Valley Lumber company\nfor several months previous to Lyon\nhaving been( engaged to fill his place.\nAsked regarding the guard rail, he\nsaid that white he was working the\nsaw, it was in, a very shaky condition.\nHe explained, by means of a rough\nmodel, displayed in the court, how he\nhad placed blocks under the post of\nthe rail. In order to protect himself. He\nclaimed to have asked Mr, Robertson,\nthe foreman, to make certain repairs to\nprotect him from one of the belts. This,\nhe said, had not been done.\nThe witness then told of visiting the\nmill after the accident and finding the\nlog lying where it had broken away\nand smashed through the guards. He\ngave it as his opinion that if a rail had\nbeen provided such as was used In\nthe mill In which he now works, the\nlog would not have broken through.\nCross questioned by Mr. Harvey, the\nwitness refused to admit that the guard\nrail was lose when he went to work\nin the mil), but swore that it was afterward, and that one o-ne occasion a\nplank came off.. He admitted that after telling Robertson that the guard\nwas weak he did not mention the matter again during the 'two months he\nworked at the mill,\nWitness said that although there was\na safety device on tlle lever that starts\nthe carriage, he did not think it necessary to lock the lever when leaving it\nto adjtist a crooked log, although, he\nadmitted, the lever could be released\nby a light tuoch of the hand. He did\nnot think it was ever done.\nHe said that it was a usual thing\nto move the carriage with one end of\nthe log on it and one on the deck,\nbut admitted that it would be proper\npractise to place both' ends of the log\non the carriage before moving it, if it\ncould be done. This, he said, would\navoid danger that otherwise would be\npresent. He admitted having seen first\nclass mills operating without guard\nrails. *-_;\nDr. J. J. Mills of Merritt, B. C, was\ncalled to the stand and stated that he\narrived at the mill within an hour\nafter the* accident occurred and found\nthe plaintiff in a very serious condition. After an examination he declared that he found indications of internal rupture. He stated that an\noperation at the hospital confirmed his\nfirst diagnosis, and a second operation was found necessary. Irr addition\nto the rupture, he said, he found that\nthe pelvic hone had heen broken and\nthat several of the .adjoining organs\nhad been injured to such an extent\nthat some of. their functions 'had been\nruined for lite, while others were rendered so defective that periodical operations would be required as long as\nthe  injured man  lived.\nCross examined by Mr. Harvey the\ndoctor stood firm by his opinion that\ncertain of Lyon's organs had been rendered useless. This opinion was borne\nout by Dr. L. E. Borden, who was\nnext placed upon the stand.\nThe case will be resumed this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The jurors in thc\ncase are J. A. Erickson, foreman; Godwin C. Dickson, T. W. Ledingham, E.\nMarsden, I'. Halliwell, A. Wood, A.

It was felt by the council that\nno better investment could be made\nand that it was advisable to lose no\ntime in placing an application with the\nminister of finance, as it is expected\nthat the issue will be in great demand\nas soon as it Is floated.\nThe report of H. P. Thomas, manager of the city gas plant, was submitted to the meeting in which he recommended the installation of new retorts\nat the works. The report stated that\nthe present set of five bench retorts\nwas nearly worn out and that it was\nadvisable, in getting new ones, to have\nfive bench retorts, as the cost of increasing the capacity would be greatly\nlessened by doing the work at one\ntime. It also recommended that the\nmaterial be ordered for another set of\nfive bench retorts which would he\nneeded within the next 18 months. On\nthe motion of Aid. A. S. Horswlll and\nAid.
