Fourteen thousand miles of road and C000* miles of\ntrail had been built or standardized\nduring the five-year period.\nMr. Taylor then proceeded to point\nout that British Columbia would be\njustified in following the example of\nsome sister provinces and including Its\npermanent public works among its assets, and thus adding very materially\nto.the credit side of the balance sheet.\nAn important feature of the develop,\nment had been land and forest surveys.

F. Oreen, member for Kootenay.\nthe situation of British Columbia fruit\ngrowers with regard to the competition\nof growers In the United -States by\nwhicii they are handicapped is given ln\ndetail and the acute need of protection for the industry is clearly aet\nforth.\nGreen's  Add rest.\nThe question of national policy and\nnational preference is no new question in this house. The principle has\nbeen in operation for many years past.\nDuring thnt time the various ministers of finance who have had tariff\nmatters to regulate have tried from\ntime to time to make the burdens bear\nequitably on the whole people of Canada\nand at the same time protect certain\nmanufacturers and certain industries\nthat needed protection in this Dominion.\n\u25a0When members opposite saw fit to\nattempt to find in the British Columbia 'byelections the reason for the finance minister dealing with this question at this particular time, they were\nvery unfair and had no knowledge apparently of the facts.\nDelegation after delegation haB come\nto the capital city during the last four\nor five years, not only from British\nColumbia, but from the other fruitgrowing districts In Canada, and have\nsought to have a duty placed upon apples that would enable them to supply our own markets. At this particular time In the history of the Dominion, a delegation from British Columbia arrived, and again pressed the\nclaims of the apple-growers of Canada\nupon the attention of the finance minister.\nThey pointed out that, so .far as Brit,\nish Columbia was concerned, we were\nnot a manufacturing country. We were\nbeing taxed under a tariff for almost\neverything that we used. The few\nthings that we could supply to the\nbalance of Canada were not in the\nnappy position of being sufficiently\nprotected to enable us to retain that\nmarket.\nNeeds of Growers,\nThe question has been asked this afternoon as to how we are going to keep\nthis* market without materially increasing the prices. If we could get\nthe whole of the market of Canada we\n\u25a0would be in a better position to deal\ndirectly with the consumer. We would\npractically have a n\\arkei for the\nwhole of our product, or the greater\nportion of it, and we would be able\nto supply u better class of fruit than\nwe have been supplying in the past.\nThe honorable member for Moose Jaw\nI Mr. Knowles) seemed to be surprised\n-because apple growing in the province of British Columbia has increased\nfrom 210,000 boxes in 1910 to 787.750\nboxes In 1915. Surely he knows that\nin British Columbia this industry is\npractically an infant industry.\nThe increase in production is not\nbecause of the prices, and not because\nof the money that is being made out\nof the sale of apples, but because the\ntrees are coming into bearing. The\napple growers of the western states,\nparticularly, Oregon, Washington and\nIdaho have planted trees over something like 550,000 acres of land. Their\nproduction is so great that 75 per cent\nof their trees will have to be uprooted\nand the acreage put to other purposes;\nand then when those remaining trees\nare In full bearing, they will have sufficient to supply their own markets.\nSo far as British Columbia is concerned, we have not as yet any overproduction and we are not likely to have\nany. The cost of producing a box of\napples today is, on the average, about\n$1.0S, and that is nut based on any ex-\ntravgant value for the land. The\nFruit Growers' association representatives, who were here, told me that\nthe estimated value of apple growing\nland was $125 per acre, and any one\nknows that that Is not an exorbitant\nprice for land ln the valleys of British\nColumbia.\nOver-Production in States.\nThe situation at present is that there\nis suidi an enormous over-production\nin the three western states which I\nhave mentioned that, when the growers there have graded their apples,\nthey make a price on the prairies and\nsell their lower grades in Canada, they\nhaving far more than sufficient of the\nbetter grades to supply the ordinary\nmarket.\nMr. Douglas\u2014Has the honorable\nmember any idea as to the price the\ngrower in Washington and Oregon re\nceives for his apples, say for No.; 1\nfancy?\nAn honorable member\u2014'Forty . cents\na box.\nMr. Green\u2014It is not 40 cents a box.\nTime and time again they have flooded\n.HEALTH AND INCOME.\nBoth Kept up on Scientific Food.\nGood, sturdy health helps one a lot\nto make money. With the loss of\nhealth one's Income is liable to shrink\nIf not entirely dwindle away.\nWhen a young lady has to make her\nown living,\" good health > Is her best\nasset.\n\"I am alone in the world,\" writes a\nyoung lady, \"dependent ou nay own\nefforts for my living. I am a clerk,\nand through cI6se application to Work\nand a boarding house diet I become\nnervous, and got so bad off it was al\nmost Impossible for me to keep up\nIn the office.\n\"A friend suggested to me the Idea\nof trying Grape-Nuts food which I -did,\nmaking it a large part of at least* two\nmeals a day.\n\"Today r am free from'dyspepsia\nand the Ills of an overworked and-improperly nourished brain and body. To\nGrape-Nuts I owe the recovery of my\nhealth, and the ability to retain my\nposition and Income.'* \"There's a reason.\" Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.\nEver read the above letter? A new\none appears from time tp time. They\nare genuine, true and full of human\ninterest.\nthe prairie districts with apples at from\n30 to '70 cents per box. Occasionally\nthey get as high as Jl and $1.20 for\nsome of the better grades, but these\nsupples very seldom come into our\nprairies...\nMr. Douglas\u2014I meant apples comparing with your No. l grade.\nMr. Oreen\u2014The better grade do not\ncome In at all to the prairie provinces.\nMr. -Douglas\u2014I know differently.\nMr. Qreen\u2014They do not come into\nthe- prairie provinces in any quantities. The apples that are being sold\ntoday are lower grade apples, as the\nreturns,will show, and that Is the apple we! have to compete against.\nThe position is this: They have these\napples that they have to feed to cattle\nor dispose of in some other way. When\nthey are packing the apples, they naturally pack, what is saleable, and they\nconsign some of them to the prairie\nprovinces at a price in some cases\nhardly sufficient to pay the freight and\nduty when sold. When the British Columbia producer is ready to sell his\napples, he finds the price being made\nall the time by the American producer. He muBt meet that competition.\nThey tell him that they can get apples from the Oregon country at a\ncertain price.and ask him if he can\ncompete witli it. If he can, he can\nget some of his apples in.' This duty\nwill enable us to send our fruit to the\nprairie provinces. It will enable us to\ndo away very largely with the middle\nmen because we will be in a position\nto deal directly. We can make a little\nmoney by being able to deal directly\nto the consumer and the consumer will\npay very little more for the apples.\nOn Basis With Cattle.\nI am not going very much into figures. The honorable member for\/Bed\nDeer (Mr. Clark) said we should put\nout fruit on the same basis as our cattle and beef. Our fruit is exactly on\nthat basis today. The fruit of Canada\nwi'll compare very favorably with any\nfruit produced in the world, particularly apples, and we are prepared to\nput our fruit in competition with any\nfair market that we have to enter. But\nit is not fair that all that surplus of\nthe American producer should be al\nlowed into our markets to the exclu\nsion of the apples grown by our own\npeople.\nThe patriotism of the fruit growers\nhas 'been referred to this afternoon. Ab\nthe minister of finance pointed out, the\nfruit growers arc only one branch of\nthe farming or agricultural industry,\naud I am sure the fruit growers of\nCanada will compare favorably in patriotism with those engaged in any\nother branches of farming. Whole\ncommunities in the fru it -growing dis*\ntrlcts of British Colombia have left to\nfight the 'battles ot Canada and of the\nEmpire, and I have no doubt that that\nremark aplies to other parts. I do not\nthink that in helping, the fruit growers\nof Eritisli Columbia we are going to\ninjure any one. The producer will undoubtedly -get more by coming into direct -contact with the consumer, and\nthe -consumer will halve to- pay very little more fur the product.\nWATCH SORE THROATS\nbecause swollen glands or inflamed\nmembranes often affect other tissues\nand lung trouble easily follows.\nAs Nature's corrector of throat\ntroubles thc pure cod liver oil in Scott's\nEmulsion is speedily converted into\ngerm-resisting tissue; its tested glycerine is curative and healing, while this\nwholesome emulsion relieves the\ntroubleand upbuilds the forces to resist\ntubercular germs and avert the weakening influence which usually follows.\nIf any member of your family has a\ntender throat, gajj a bottle of Scott's\nEmulsion to-day.

A.\nMcDiannid, solicitor, as Arepresenta-\ntles of the Union of British Columbia\nMunicipalities, the committee came to\nthe conclusion that such a clause\nwould form a bad precedent. The committee thought that if Prince Rupert\nprovided such additional security for\nthis bond Issue, bond buyers in future\nmight insist upon other cities adopting the same course. The credit of\nBritish Columbia municipalities and\nthc provisions to protect investors in\ntheir securities were already sufficient,\ntlie committee believed.\nMr. Baird. while admitting that the\ncity of Victoria had saved money under special circumstances by the issuance of sBfcrt term treasury notes, said\nthat other .municipalities had lost\nmoney through this plan, and summarized his views of treasury note issues\ngenerally with the declaration: \"A\ncity owes so .much, money and the\nquestion is, is it going to pay It now\nor take ;its medicine'later?''\nThe present circumstances, he said,\nwere that cities could sell their bonds\nfor a better price* than for several\nyears past, antl, possibly, for several\nyears to come.\nResolutions passed by the committee\ncxpretise^ opposition to any - further\ntreasury\/iiOte .legislation beyond that\npassed in\" lOl^i*1 which permits such\nfinancing-for a\\three-year term, if approved by tlie lieutenant-governor In\ncouncilAajid voiced disapproval of\nPrince Rupert's proposal to provide\nadditional security for bond payments\nbecause such action might cause investors to demand a similar concession\nfrom other municipalities,\nMeant Saving.\n. It was mentioned by Fred Peters, K.\nC\u201e who represented Prince Rupert before the' committee, that the change\nin the bonds from a 50-year term to a\n30-year terni and to serial or installment bonds instead of sinking fund securities would mean a saving to Prince\nRupert bf probably an amount equal\nto the total issue\u2014$1,366,160.

Moore, member for Pinto Creek, for accepting\n$1*500 in notes from an applicant for a\nliquor license for the purpose of procuring it. Evidence on the matter was*\ngiven by John Crippes, who started to\nbuild a hotel at Klncald, Sask., Nagi\n'Haddad, who did build one, and John\nC. Berger, formerly a wholesale liquor\ndealer at Swift Current.\nThe case was decidedly -involved. In\na general way the story told thc commission by the prosecution witnesses\nwas that Crippes and Haddad started\nto build hotelsi In Kincaid at the same\nLime before it was incorporated as a\nvillage; that Crippes ran short of\nfunds and 'fell behind in the work bn\nthe hotel; that he approached S. R.\nMoore, who took him to Berger and\nthat Berger took an option on the\nhotel; that Moore then took steps to\nprevent the incorporation of the village, without which a license could not\nbe granted; that Haddad then approached Moore, who took him to Berger likewise and that between the three\nit was agreed that Haddad should have\nthe field to himself on payment of\n$1500. Haddad gave notes for the\namount and Moore accompanied him to\nRegina tu arrange for the incorporation\nof the village to proceed.\nBerger Defense Witness.\nThe onlv defense witness was Berger, who slated that Moore had nothing\nto do with either the dea], with Crippes\nor with HUddad,' which both were bona\nfide business deals on his own behalf.\nHe said he expected to make a profit of ijaooo on Crippes' hotel and that\nhe gave this up -for $1500 ready money.\nHe said that Moore--was not present\nwhen he made this bargain with Haddad. Mr. Moore will probably take the\nstand In this case in the morning.\nn the morning Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon, John Markling, member for Biggar, and Ben Marshall of Limerick\nwere the chief witnesses.\nMr. Turgeon corroborated the evidence given by Dr. Lochead, M.L.A., in\nregard to the Gull Lake case nnd said\nthat Crockall's evidence with regard\nto a conversation between the three\nwas entirely false. Markling denied\nstatements made by C. H. Cawthorpe,\nM.L.A., in igard to the check which\nwas cashed at his hotel. Cawthorpe\nsaid thc check was cashed by one Gor\ndone, his partner in some real estato\ndeals.\nMarshall's evidence wus about the\npayment uf $y00 to Harry Meade, of\nMoose Jaw, to be given to Sheppard\nto secure ;l license for the Limerick\nhotel, whicii Marshall desired to sell\nand cuuld not without guaranteeing\nthe  license.\nCharges Against  Moore.\nThe afternoon evidence was entirely\nconcerned with the charge against S,\nR. Moore, M.L.A., for accepting notes\nfor $1500 from Nagi Haddad in consideration of his Influence in securing\na license tor a hotel at Kincaid. John\nCrippes of Kincaid told of starting to\nA Crowning\nSuccess\nTHE SALES OF THE OPENING DAYS GIVE PROMISE\nOP A RECORD SEASON\nOUR HATS SUIT EXACTLY\u2014THE PRICES ARE RIGHT\nAND THE  SERVICE PLEASES\nSmillie&Weir\nLADIES'    WEAR    SPECIALISTS\nbuild a hotel at Kincaid which he\nwas unable to complete through lack\nof funds. .At the same time Haddad\nwas building another hotel there. Witness spoke to Moore regarding the\nsituation and was told that the licenses could not be granted until Kincaid was incorporated as a village,\nwhich uctlon Moore thought it would\nbo possible to stop. The witness believed by that means* he could complete\nhis hotel in time to stand an even\nchance for the license. Moore said he-\nwould help to prevent the incorporation and took him to John Berger, a\nwholesale liquor dealer at Swift Current, who started a petition for tbe\npurpose. Later Berger took an option\non Crippes' hotel, paying a dollar for\nit. The agreement was introduced before the commission.\nHaddad followed. After letting tho\ncontract for his* hotel at Kincaid another hotel was started there. In July\nho.met Moore and told him tho hotel\nwas. near completion. Moore aaid the\nincorporation of the village bad been\nstopped and that ho had forwarded a\npetition of protest. The witness asked\nMoore to do what ho. could for him and\nMoore took him to Bergcr's office. Berber told the witness he was interested\nin the other hotel there and asked for\n$3000 to withdraw from the field.\nA tea in aid of the rectory fund ofi\nSt. Saviour's church will be given I\nTuesday afternoon, March 28 by Mes-I\ndames H.

Hon. T. C.\nCasgrain, postmaster-general, made a\npreliminary review ofI the situation\nin regard to the department in which\nhe said the increased expenditure was\nlargely due to the extension of the\nrural mail delivery, the larger amount\nthe department now has to pay lhe\nrailroads for the carriage of malls and\nthe  parcels  post.\nOpposition members thought that\nthe Increased cost of the administration of the department was due to ex\ntravagance and complained that It\nwas the letting of mail contracts, say\ning the practise of giving them to the\nman who submitted to the .lowest\ntender, had been abandoned. They\nclaimed that the increased cost of\nadministration could not be justified.\nTwo  Items had  been  passed when\nthe house adjourned at 11 o'clock.\nReviews Work.\nHon. Mr. Casgrain gave a review of\ntho work of the department and stated\nthat much of the criticism of the department was due to incorrect information. The increase in the cost of\nthe postal service was no new fact, ho\nIRISH PEOPLE TOLD DUTY\nIS TO MAINTAIN ARMIES\nGAIiWAY, Ireland^John Redmond\nrecently addressed a recruiting meeting\nfor the province of Connaught, at Gal-\nway. iReceftt events, he said, had made\nIt a necessity for Ireland to make it\nplain tq. the whole world that she was\nready ami willing to fulfill her obligations, There had been an effort to create the impression that because conscription was found by the coalition\ngovernment to be unsuitable find unnecessary in Ireland, that fact, somehow or othor, meant that Ireland was\nshirking her duty. Such ah Impression\nwould be a false one, a cruel one, and\nwould be an injury to thi1 future interests of Ireland.\nSince the commencement of the war\nthat little island had put a huge Irish\narmy in the field.* Up to .Tan. 8 last\nIreland had sent 86,277 men into the\narmy and into the havyw&4\u00ab6, making a\ntotal -of-89^743. \"-Tft* tfmr'fhiignlficnht\nrecord Ulster had led the yan natural-\nly and frrbperiyf because that firov-\nInce held one-third of the wholo population of Ireland. That record of Ulster was .tjie record of all creeds and\nclasses- There had been slackness in\nthe agricultural districts' ana\" in regard\nto that ho had no hesitation In saying\nto his fellow countrymen on the soil,\narid who after 40 years of sacrifice a^d\nsuffering were made its owners, that\nthey had' an inter-eat in winning this\nbattle o*v6r Germany greater even than\nany agriculturists in Scotland, Wales\nor England.\nMust Defend  Homes.\nIf Irish, farmers wished to hand on\ntheir property to their .tthildren, thoy\nmust be prepared to take their share in\ndefending it. He honestly believed that\nif this war ended in thc defeat of the\nallies there was imminent danger that\nevery tenant farmer in Ireland would\nbe robbed by the Prussians of his own.\nto-8hip of the soil. It was the duty of\nevery tenant farmer in Ireland to fight\ntenaciously in defense of his ownership. The position of the tenant farmer who would not fight for the land for\nchildren, and who expected the people\nof the towns to do' the fighting for\nhtm, was a contemptible one.\nThey had today 145,869 men from\nIreland with the colors, and If they\nadded to. that as.it would, be fair to do,\nthe, Irishmen who enlisted in Great\nBritain, as the returns showed, not including the Irishmen who enlisted from*\nCanada, Australia, New Zealand and\nSouth Africa, they had at least 300,000\nIrishmen with the colors. When the\nhistory of the war came to be written,\nthat one fact, coming: after centuries\nof strife between the two countries,\nwould stand- out as one of the most\nsignificant features of the history of\nEurope. It was a magnificent achievement which nothing could belittle.\nMutt Maintain Army.\nIt was not proposed to increase the\nhuge Irish army, but the war was not\nover, and no one knew how long it\nwould continue. The creation of an\narmy carried with it an obligation to\nmaintain the army, and to maintain\nit until victory was achieved. To de-'\nsert their countrymen in the trenches\nwould be a course that would be ob*\nhorrent to the Irish people, it would be\npitiful, humiliating, and disgraceful,\nand it would mean untold injury to\ntlie whole future of Ireland,\nIt would mean the end of their\nhopes, aspirations and ambitions for\ntHo futurorof rfRifir country. 'ITwiis tin\nunthinkable and Impossible thing. He\nwas, there, tp appeal to Ireland to realize her duty and to fulfill it. It had\nbeen rightly said by his excellency, the\nlord lieutenant that tho exclusion of\nIreland ffbm the conscription bill created a new ahd heavy obligation upon\nthe Irish people to do their duty under\nthe voluntary system They had been\nexcluded from the Conscription law\nwhich had been, made applicable to\nGreat Britain and they would undoubtedly cover 'themselves with disgrace if\nthey did not recognize that that fact\ncreated a new obligation to give hearty\nand generous response to the voluntary\nappeal.    ,\nTo Prove fidelity\nHe appealed to them to prove their\nnational fidelity an the political Intelligence ot the people. The task be-\nfor them ought not to bo difficult. After all, they were a united nation with\nreference to the war.\nMi'. Redmond expressed surprise that\nout of .10.000 or11,000 Royal Irish constabulary men ira Ireland, only 31 officers and .536 men had enlisted in the\narmy. His opinion was that half the\npresent,number of men In that force\nwould be sufficient to perform real\npolice duty in Ireland. He had personal knowledge of the fact that X.ord\nKitchner was most anxious to obtain\na considerable nuhiber of recruits from\nthe 'Royal Irish constabulary, and it\nwas neither Justice riof good policy on\nfhepart of >tho.government not to encourage these men to-enlist and to paV\nthem the difference between their present pay and that which they would\nrecoive in the army.\nsaid, lh l\u00ab\u00bb7 the expanses of the\npostofflce dejiartment amounted to $3,-\nT&9,*W By 1912 they Had grown to\nnearly three times as much, $9,172,086,\nor an increase of more than (6,000,000,\nalthough during this period no reform\nwas made in the service which would\ncause any great expenditure In the\ndepartmental .budget except the inauguration of rural mail delivery.    .\nOn the -contrary, during the period\nfrom 1912 on, reforms had been introduced and a modernised service has\nbeen established to meet the public\ndemand ahd to deep up with the progress of the times. Theae reforms have\ncost, a great deal of money. The chief\nhas been the extension of.-rural mail\ndeliveries, Mr. Casgrain said that the\nsystem Which had been developed In\nCanada was far in advance of the\nAmerican System, established by Mr.\nLemieux, when postmaster general.\nMv. Casgrain said that there were\nnow 33-37 rural dellv.ery routes in Canada.\nDuring \"the year IM4-lfi there were\nestablished 695 routes and 425 from\nApril 1, 1-91*5 to March 1, 191-8. Th$ decrease of this year Is explained by the\n-curtailing of expenses owing to.the\nwar.\nMr. Casgrain said that the'total increased cost of the department by reason of the establishment of rural mail\ndelivery between 1912 and 1915 was\n\u25a0*$8&5,000-, with $305,000 for rural boxes,\nbeing In nil $1,180,000. The boxes are\nresold to the public so that the government *in time will get all this money\nback.\nMr. Casgrain stated that another\nreason for the increase of the public\nservice was the result of the coming\ninto force of laws unanimously passed\nby parliament in 1912. 1913 and 1914\nincreasing the salaries of employees.\n...    Other Increases.\nStill greater Increases in the cost of\nthe service took place at the beginning\nbf the year 19*14 by reason of the\nchange in the rates paid railway companies for hauling the mail. Tills\nchange which was submitted to parliament, had -never been challenged by the\nopposition.  '1';.\nStill another reason for the increased\nexpenditure was the expansion of letter carrier service. Cities like Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, etc., are continually adding to their, boundaries nnd\nit is necessary. f\u00ab\u00bb' tho-department as\ntho city grows to extend its service.\nThe establishment of parcel post has\ngreatly Increased the work in the post-\noffice department and had required the\nservices of a large additional force.\nThere was a sincere determination on\nthe part of, the department to cut down\nthe expenditure as much as possible.\nThe postmaster general, having asserted that in the awarding of contracts for tho carriage of malls, the\ncontract system had not toeen abandoned, thc statement was challenged\nby a number of opposition members.,\nConcerning Contracts.\n.T. H. Sinclair said that a return\nbrought down showed that in 300 instances mail contracts had been canceled and had 'been let again, without\ntenders being called,\ni A, E, Maclean said that the opposition could produce hundreds and thousands of cases where mall contracts\nhad not been awarded to the men putting in the lowest- tenders..\n~ Mr. Marcll asked if It was not a fact\nthat. If the lowest tender Was put In\nby a'Liberal, the Conservative patronage committee advised some other tendered tliat if ho put In a still.lower bid\nHe Would got the contract,\nj Mr. Casgrain. maintained that even\nif this was done the Interest of the\npublic would not suffer because there\nwould be a saving. .\n: Mr, Kyte took, exception to this\nstatement. In Nova Scotia, he said,\nLiberals had come to the conclusion\nthat it Was useless for them to tender.\nAs a consequence there Is little competition and the public suffers.\nI Mr. Casgrain suggested that it was\ntho party and not the public interest\nthat suffered. '\"?.._*\nMr. Turriff asked what Was the policy of the department in regard to appointing wounded soldiers to places in\ntho postofflce and as postmasters.\n.Mr. -Casgrain said that he would\nconsider the claims of wounded men\nfirst irrespective of politics, provided\nthey were qualified. This was his\npolicy.\ni Mr, Turriff said he wished ho would\nuse his Influence with the minister of\ncustoms to adopt tho same policy.\n. Mr. Casgrain said that ho was not\nresponsible -for his .brother -minister.\nHe had enough sins of his own to attend to.\nCARVELL ASKS TlO NGS\nOf J Jf.

The toots ale\nall against this contention, although\nthe conduct of the opposition in talU-\ning out the time until aiftcr midnight\nindicated that It was unaware of the\nstatutory provision upon tlae point.\nTlae statute of Interpretations says in\ndefinite terms that a day's grace is\nallowed. That means thait tlae legislature, at tho vea*y least, had until\nmidnight of March 15, or nearly 24\nhours after tlae bill was passed.\nBut, if the opposition contention is\ncorrect, what does it mean lt moans\nthat the Liberal members talked until\nmidnight against the bill with the\nobject of preventing the government\nfrom passing any supply or putting\ninto effect any of its measures.

So there is\nthe prospect of a little more fun for\nthe newspaper readers of the United\nStates, and thojH are looking forward\nwith interest to-'tlie beginning of the\ncampnign.\nWhether it will -be associated with\nthe candidacy of any particular person\nfor the presidency cannot lie known\nIn a'dvance. it all depends upon who\nis a candidate. It might be used to\nassist the Prohibitionist or -Socialist\ncandidate if there should, be one, but\nit is extremely unlikely that either the\nDemocratic or .Republican candidate\nwill have any sympathy with Mr.\nFord. Both parties will be committed\nto preparedness-fvthe RepublKfans will\nbe more advanced irt this respect than\nthe Democrats,       *     *\nIf Mr. Ford can adduce any new\narguments for unpreparedness we\nhave done an'.Injustice to his Intellect, and the intellects of. those whom\nhe will employ.. We have observed\nonly a couple of arguments so far.\nThe first is that .'all-the United States\nneeds iu the way of defense is a powerful navy. This is-the idea of the\n\"hyphenated,\" who are in favor even*\nof having a- larger navy than Great'\nllrltaln, since Great Britain is the\nonly power which they could conceive\nas ever -being' at war with the\" United\nStates.   .\nThere is also the argument -familiar\nbefore the war to readers of soma Canadian newspapers, to the effect that\npreparedness lends to war; that i>f a\ncountry has a large army it is like a\nman carrying a stick. The nation will,\nwant to use the army, just as the man\nwill keep swishing with his stick at\nvarious objects. There Is also the argument that if a country begins to be\nprepared there Is really no limit to the\nbusiness; that tn be prepared in a-perfectly logical manner the United\nStates ought, to have a navy capable of\ndefeating the combined navies of the\nworld, which is. absurd, and an army\nable to defeat the combined armies of\nthe world, which, is absurd also. So\n\u25a0far these arguments have failed to\nmake much of an.impression upon the\nAmerican people.

People here have\nbeen accustomed to something quite\ndifferent on the part of the German\nand Austro-Hungarian armies when\nthey decide on an offensive on,a scale\nof this kind, and, as nearly four weeks\nhave passed since the Gorman attacks\nbegan, some anxiety is boing expressed.\n\"It must not be inferred that thc\nGerman efforts will diminish in violence, or that the Germans will put up\nwith an inglorious knockout without\nexerting every means at their disposal. Everything is being sacrificed\nto Verdun. Austrian heavy guns are\nbeing taken away from the Italian\nfront, the Russian front is being\nweakened, and reinforcements are\ncontinuously on their way from the\nInterior, as well as from thc Russian\nfront, for, not only has the Verdun\narmy to be reinforced, but other parts\nof tho western front \u2022* attention\nparticularly between Reims and Soissons.\n\"Military circles hero point out that\nit is essential, in view of the German\nefforts at Verdun, to keep an adequate number of troops along the entire western front. They even suggest as a grave peril that If the issue\nis not brought to a settlement soon\nit will be necessary for the Germans\nto send Austro-Hungarian troops to\nthe western  frontier.\"\nWorse Than Ypres\nPARIS, March 12, via London,\nMarch 14.\u2014We are at the twenty-first\nnay of what may at least plausiuty be\nuiuleu the greatest battle of history,\ndays a correspondent here. In* teftritj'.\noi. human heroism and sufterlng, U\nmay nut surpass thc great battles of\nI'prca and the Yser of October and\nNovember, 1914, save that the German losses are now very much larger\nand France has this time to bear all\nthe weight of the allied cause. In the\nexpenditure of material power the\npresent struggle is incomparably more\nterrific on both sides.\nIn tactical methods there is a curious parallelism, which shows the\nlimitations of the Germans' scientific\npreparation. The fighting of the last\nweek had the same desperate intensity as that around Ypres, with still\nwilder expediture of life and munitions. The displacements ot the batteries and regiments involved must\nhave been on a colossal scale. The\nFrench this time had the advantage\nof working \"on interior lines,-;' as %he\nsoldiers say.\nHave we now reached the final\nphase of the battle? No one is inclined to prophesy, especially as the\nhope of the allies does not point to\none more than the other alternative.\nIf the German command now breaks\noff the struggle it will have some\nscores of thousands of men for a later\neffort; if it continues to sacrifice\nthem the purpose of the whole war is\nbeing settled on the heights of * the\nMeuse.\nFor two things are established; The\nfirst Is the relatlce greatness of the\nGerman losses in this fighting; the\nsecond, which is regarded here as beyond doubt, is that whatever fluctuation  may happen  nt one or another\nfront point, the French line will not\nbe broken. If these two conditions\ncontinue, even tho taking of Verdun\nitself, of which there is no present\nprospect, would be a victory fatal\nonly to its authors.\nThere is no temptation to prophesy,\nindeed when the major signs of the\ntimes are so clear. Tho undertaking\nof a great offensive in the unfavorable conditions of the last winter\nmonth proves that the kaiser and his\ngenerals are under an urgent necessity to find laurels somewhere\u2014\nsomehow. Their failure even to obtain a result locally decisive means\nthat the day of German offensive successes is over, and that a new stage\nof the war has opened and that the\noffensive will be taken over by tht\nallies, who are only now reaching the\ntop of their strength.\nmn fron\nTO BE\nIRON\nPROVES\nWALL\nGermans   May  Continue  Verdun   Attack, But Paris Shows No Fear\nof  Outcome.\nPARIS.\u2014'I am ready to sacrifice\n200,000 men, but I will get Verdun,\"\nsaid tlie kaiser on February 20. Every\nFrench expert today points out that the\nkaiser has lost fully this number of\ntroops in thc tiiree weeks of fighting.\nLe Matin and the Echo do Paris\npoint out that in order to pursue their\ntitanic effort the German staff must\nweaken othor points of their front by\nwithdrawing men, and also deplete\ntheir reserves stiil in Germany.\n\"Now look at our own situation,\"\nadds Le Matin. \"Nowhere have we\ngiven ground in such a way as to com-\npromise our defensive line. We have\nvictoriously resisted- attacks everywhere with minimum losses. When\nthc number of wounded in the avacua-\nted Verdun region becomes known the\npeppie will ibe staggered by the relative\nunimportance of our losses.\n\"We can reveal that our losses are\nconsiderably lower than our casualties during the Champaigne offensive.\n\"The fighting will continue as bloody\nas ever during the coming week,\" says\nLieut.-Col. Rousset.\n\"The kaiser .will continue to hurl\nhis 'best, troops against our iron wall,\nbut unless an entirely unexpected\nchange occurs Verdun will remain im-\nprcgnablle,\" says Major CIvrleux. \"The\nbattle Is -bound to continue for many\nlong days,\" says Marcel Hutin. \"-Germany must fight on to avoid* a ghastly\ndefeat,\" says the Journal critic.\nAll traces of nervousness has disappeared in Paris. The prospect of a\ncontinued of the 'battle is accepted\nwith greater confidence than at ony\ntime during the past three weeks.\nI\nPAR\nISIDERS\nLMMEN\nPLANS\nSir Wilfrid Said Ho Believed no Need\nExisted to Alter Outside Appearance of Structure.\nOTTAWA, March 22.\u2014In connection\nwith questions which were raised in\nthe house today a discussion concerning plans for the new parliament building was taken up.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier inquired if the\nminister of militia was in Great Brit\nain on official business.\n' 'The premier replied  that he was,\nmore particularly    regarding the two\ntraining camps  nt    Shorncliffe    and\nBramshott, where there were 40,000 to\n50,000 Canadian soldiers.\nSir Wilfrid asked if he had any written instructions.\nThe premier said that he had not,\nbut that he had conferred with him\non the subject.\nMr. Proulx of Presscott remarked\nthat several of the ministers had been\nln New York lately and he Inquired\nif they knew anything about J.

He therefore asked\nSir Wilfrid and Sir Robert Borden to\nnamo three members each who would\nact with him in regard to the plana for\nrebuilding.\nSir Wilfrid replied that the work\ndone so far by Mr. Rogers had been\nquite satisfactory in regard to temporary accommodation for the parliament. All acknowledged that he had\ndone as well as could be. Sir Wilfrid\nalso approved the selection of Mr,\nPearson and Mr, Murchand, the arch\nitects, who wero both high in the profession. He had seen tho plans and expressed his satisfaction. He believed\nthere was no need of any change in\nthe outside appearance of the building\nfor which there always had been entertained the highest regard. He had\nno criticism to make in regard to tho\nInterior arrangements; they would add\nto thc beauty of the interjpr of the,.\nbuilding and to the comfort of the\nmembers. He would be glad to appoint\nthree members to the committee.\nSir Robert Borden said that the plan\nthat was proposed was the ibest possible unless they were going to alter\nthc outside appearance, which was to\nbe avoided if possible.

Just as the shapes and sizes\nvary greatly so also is there a wide\nrange in tbe matter of price and even\nthe shortest purse will be able to produce H.'ho necessary funds for the pur*\n\u2022chase of a \"creation\" that will embody\nboth beauty and style.\nBig hats and.small hats, hats with\nhigh crowns and small rims, small\ncrowned hats with big rims, stiff hatB\nand floppy hats, each one a masterpiece, that is bound to find an owner\nbefore many more days have slipped\naway. They were all cm display yesterday afternoon, and many of them\nput on their soft tissue paper and\npasteboard overcoats and left the store\non the day's last delivery for new\nhomes. But although some of the\nchoice models have gone the way that\nall choice models go, there are more in\nthe same garden and there will be more\nstill. The management has assured the\npublic that under the able superinten-\ndency of Miss Meta Bowles, a steady\nsupply of millinery will be kept on\nhand, not only for the spring season,\nbut fpr the seasons following and there\nis Uttle doubt but that the high standard hitherto set will be maintained.\nNot alone were the many visitors to.\nthe Hudson's Bay store yesterday afternoon treated to a feast of fashionable dainties, but the management had\nprovided a delightful musical entertainment.
