These figures,\nas regards sailing vessels, are virtually\nthe same as thoso for the year 1013.\nBut as regards sleamers they are nearly 338,000 tons higher than for the\nprevious year.\nThis increase is doubtless accounted\nfor by the losses duo to war opera'\ntions. During the last five months of\n1014 162 vessels of 373,277 tons were\nsunk by warships or by mines. Ex\neluding such war losses, the tonnage\nof vessels lost through wreck, break\ning up, etc,, during 1014 is actually\nlower b.v 34,106 tons than that lost dur\ning 1013.\nCANADIAN GENERAL\nIN MOTOR ACCIDENT\nCommander of Second Contingent Has\nNarrow Escape When Automobiles\nCollide at Folkestone, England'\n(By Daily.

J-Jcuiiumic-\nliy, Jin Huiu, tne struggle in Uarmany\ntiau oecume almost impossible, of\nwhich he himself hud seep many instances. Some outlet was essential,\nand this Kngland una Lhe other powers\nhud united lu prevent.\nI said that, lor us English, tbe Issue\nwas whether uormany should have\nthings which we at present possess,\nand that we were not likely to give\nihem up without fighting. He quite\naccepted this, Germany, he suid, was\nlike the troublesome boy uf the -school\nwho was dissatisfied unit had a grievance .and was always making things\nunpleasant tor all the rest, so that\nthero was no wonder if he was not\nliked, I maintained lhat this went too\nfar, if his own old allies .such as Italy,\nturned against him. He expressed resentment against Italy, ami suid Lhat\niinylunv right was on the side of Germany, whu would continue to defend\nherself to the end. I answered that we\nmight disagree as to the question of\nright, but lhat 1 could not understand\nhow any successful issue could he hoped fur under such conditions. He wns\nof my opinion, and twice spoke of tho\nwar us a \"catastrophe.\"\nI asked then why Germany should\npersist in n policy which bad obviously\nespeeiiilly In the case of Italy, proved\nto lie a, misguided one, we all felt admiration for the magnificent fighting\npower of tiie Germany army, which\nmight have dealt successfully with us\nseparately; hut it hnd been set an im-\npossible tusli. lie replied that England\nhad a long experience, and that policy\nwith her was well thought out; Germany hnd only some lft years of a\nunited existence behind her, and the\npolicy which had led to \"the catastrophe\" could not, as a policy, be defended. I asked whether it was likely\nto he changed, and to this I neither\nexpected nor got any answer. But it\nwas Interesting that, in spite of the\ngreat successes in Galicia, he described\ni lie present mood of the army as nothing like the first great outburst of\nenthusiasm at the beginning of the\nwar.\nI wns later given an opportunity of\nexamining a Gormun private, a Hanoverian, captured because he was\nasleep when the Russians stormed bis\ntrenches. I was interested both in the\nreadiness of his answers, which ho\ngave with a. smiling face, and in the\nanswers themselves. Tlie German\nheavy artillery wns all beyond the San\nund troops were being sent away to\nthe Italian front, Pood was poor in\nGalicia; all the soldiers were for peace,\nand there was tbe same refrain in all\nthe letters received from homo, lie\nhad been on tbe western front near\nReims and had made the railway\njourney to Neit Sandec in five days.\nHe spoke with especial respect of tho\nfirsl English troops, of the Russian\nfield artillery, and of the accuracy of\nthe French heavy artillery.\nBANANA MEAL REPLACES FLOUR\nJamaican Product Will Be Used to\nRelieve Food Shortage in\nWest Indies.\nLONDON.\u2014In view or ihe present\nhigh price of wheat flour attempts\nare being made in the British West\nIndies to replace part of the flour\nimported iby locally prepared products. A sample of banana meal from\nJamaica has recently been examined\nat the Imperial institute, and the analysis Is printed in the current number\nof (he Bulletin of the institute.

Prairie standards of settlement do not apply nt all to settlement\nin the heavily wooded valleys of British Columbia. While the figures of preemptions and growth of rural population seem small to Ontario nnd to the\nprairie country, yet relatively they are\nnot unimportant.\nIn Iflftl the farming population of\nBritish Columbia was 0,7.111. and in lftll\nit wns 85,000, of which 16,500 has been\nadded in the last three years. In thn\nlast five years pre-emptions numbered\nover 10,000 and the area of each was\n100 acres. That is, a total area settled\nIn that time of over 2.500,000 acres.\nWhen it is considered that the total\npopulation of British Columbia is\nsomething less than the population of\nToronto, estimated at 450,000, the rate\nof actual settlement docs not seem s\"\ndisproportionate as critics of the land-\ngrabbing would make out. Speaking\nsome time ngo on the British Columbia\nland situation, Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, declared the total sales\nof land In the 10 yenrs to the end of\n1014 amounted to 5,250,000 acres, and\nof this only 847,000 acres were In the\nthree railway belts. About 4,3?.',000\nacres were six or more miles away\nfrom the railways, and fer tho purposes of settlement of little present\nvalue. The alienation of agricultural\nland, to tho speculative public ha\ntherefore, not. been fraught with such\ndisastrous consequences to real settle\nmost n\u00bb critics of British Columbia\nlainl administration would mako put\nThe pre-emptions during five years\nh.'i.ve been larger in area than the land\nbought speculatively by tbe public\nThe Brillsh Columbia government\nhas millions of acres of land close lo\nthe railways available for farming\nsell lenient alone. If the speculative\npurchases had heen of this land\nwould there not have been larger acquiring of il. than there was Is 1014,\nwhen the sales by the government altogether wero only 45,000 acres? A. few\nyears ago British Columbia bad a land\nboom, in which the whole population\nwent into a frenzy over both urban\nand agricultural real estate, but though\nlarge ureas of the latter were bought\nIt was mostly ih the less accessible\nareas, and British Columbia, is now in\n.0> positioa to welcome scores of thou\nsands of hew settlers and provide good\nlocations.\u2014Toronto Mail and Empire.\n00\u00ae0\u00ae00\u00ae00\u00ae\u00aetototo\u00ae*>0\n0 0\nCANADIAN SHIPMENTS &\n0 0\n00 0\u00ae 0 0\u00ae \u00ae00\u00ae0\u00ae 0 00 00\nAn organized effort apparently ia\nbeing made to divert Canadian shipments from the St. Lawrence route\nand Canadian ports to Boston and other ports in the United States.

Scares and rumors are part of the program of those\n; who would benefit by such a diversion\nof trade. Even although patronage of\nthe Canadian route may not always be\nmost advantageous, Canadian shippers\nhave a patriotic duty to perform. They\nshould not lose their heads.

Is it not\nthe government \u2022subsidy for war purposes that Inventors have most in\nview when they engage upon their\nwork? Spain has devoted much alien tion to aerial navigation, but all\nalong she has.shown a disposition io\nplace more confidence in the aeroplane\nthan the dirigible, having only possessed herself of one specimen of the\nlatter species; this being the Clement\nBayard type and going by the name of\nEspuna. The inventor of the. new\ndirigible is a well known young engineer, Sr. Francisco Sulas, son of a\nnaval officer and distinguished astronomer. The new airship is a very\nrge affair, and has just eome well\nthrough its first trinls. li is given the\nname of Salas, after its Inventor, and,\nbuilt in France, it hus cost about\nmillion francs. There arc fifteen\nmotors in the vessel and by an inge\nntous arrangement great economy of\npower is effected. The ballasting arrangements have also been greatly\nimplified. On a calm day lhe Salas\ncan attain a velocity of 130 kilometers\nin hour, and can keep up an average\nof from 80 to 90, so that, for Instance\nif it left Barcelona at 12 noon it would\nreach .Madrid nt 3 in the afternoon.\nThe dirigible is L9B meters long.\nThe inventive spirit is undoubtedly\nkeen in Spain at present, and the time\nmay not be far distant when Spanish\nmachinery will have a better \"place and\nbo more appreciated abroad than it is\nnow. Attention is heing drawn at the\npresent time to a. new multi-tubular\nsteam boiler that has been invented by\nSr. Jose de Igual, who is president of\ntho Association of Civil Engineers.\nThis Invention has been examined by\nall tho greatest engineering experts\nand authorities in Spain\u2014and by some\nabroad\u2014and that in a critical spirit,\nloo, and the unanimous opinion is that\nIt is superior to everything of the\nsame type that is produced in Spain\nor any other country, and is likely\ncreate something of a revolution. It\nis believed that wherever possible it\nwill be adopted by the state.\nAn invention' of. quite another kind,\nto which increased attention seems to\nbe given, is the baliiidroscope that' has\nbeen produced by Sr. Ignaeio Calvo. It\nis an instrument designed to indicate\ntho presence of nublerrancan waters\nwithout boring for them or perforating tbe ground In any way. In this\nbusiness the batbidroscope has been\nUnite astonishingly and invariably\nsuccessful, nnt only in Spain but in\nthe Argentine Ttepubllc, where Sr.\nCalvo has put It to the most exacting\ntests.\nvance, but this may be only with rearguards which have been detailed to Inflict as much loss as possible on the\nenemy and delay its progress.\nLittle Change in NdVth\nPETItOGiRAD, Aug. 22.\u2014Tbe following official communication has been\nmade public:\nVOur land front is firm in the regions of Blga and in the direction of\n\u25a0lacobstadt and Dvinsk.

With a scarcity of\nlabor, owing to the temporary withdrawal of men to work as harvesters,\nthe rate of wages shows a tendency\nto increase for the time being, one\nof tlie larger orders now being filled\nby the mills at present Is composed of\ngrain doors, one mill alone having an\norder which will consume 1,500,000\nfeet of lumber, another mill having a\nstill larger order and a third turning out considerable quantities of the\nsame article. A. timber sale area containing ,1,500,000 feet of timber has\nheen recently applied for and cruised.\nThe steps which are being taken to\ndevelop the prairie demand for British Columbia lumber have naturally\ngiven rise to much interest in a district whose mills depend .so largely\nupon prairie orders and favorable\ncomment has been expressed upon the\naction taken by the government.\nThe fire hazard in this district gives\ncause for anxiety, especially as no rain\nhas fallen since. July 28 and ibe prevailing hot and dry weather is ripening vegetation to a dangerous degree.\nFires so far havo been easily controlled but unless rain falls soon the\nsituation will be fraught with much\ndanger. It is hoped to burn further\nareas of slash as soon as the weather\npermits this to be done without undue\nrisks being taken and so reduce a\nsource of trouble and difficulty.\nDaily News Want Ads\nThese columns are devoted exclusively to classified condensed Want advertisements,\nwhich appeal directly to all classes of people, iii the home, the office, the tradesman, the\nrancher and all professions.\nTo get immediate results at a minimum cost, the News Want Ad. will find a way.\nRatss for\nClassified Want Ads\nAdvertisements under any Hsadlngt\nMini.num Charge 2Ho\nOne insertion, per word lc\nSix consecutive Insertions 4c\nit consecutive insertions (on\u00ab\nmonth) ,.,,'. lBo\nBirth, one Insertion 80c\nMarriages, one Insertion 50c\nDeaths, one Insertion SOc\nCard of Thanks BOc\nDeath and funeral notice |1.00\nEach subsequent Insfirtlon 25o\nAll condensed advertisements are\ncash In advance, otherwise one cent\nper word per Insertion straight.\nAdvertisers are reminded that it Is\ncontrary to the provisions of tho Postal\nlaws to have letters addressed to Initials only, therefore any advertiser desirous of concealing his or her identity\nmay use a box at this office without\nany extra charg .\nThe News reserves the rl\u201eht to pass\non any copy submitted for publication.\nAdvertisements ordered (T.F.) till\nforbid, must be cancelled or stopped\nIn person or by written order.\nTO RENT\n(Say you saw it in The News.)\nic^^r^cT^Bi^CKr^^tsel^p^\nsuites and rooms for rent.

Many\nbelieve that theso purchasos are lhe\nfirst link in a chain of events that will\nhave a decisive bearing upon thc war.\nHolland, It i.s believed, is about to enter the world conflict, and her entrance wilt Inaugurate a campaign\nthat ,at a stroke, will change tbe whole\nHltuatlon, change it., more decisively\nthan could tbe participation of the llul-\nkan States.\nUnless Germany is defeated Belgium\nwill become pari of the German empire. Holland would then find Gcr-\ntnany on three frontiers\u2014in fact Holland would bo a small island surrounded by lhe German empire and tbe\nGerman ocean. About her own fate\nafter that there could bo no doubt. Shu\nwould go the same way as Belgium.\nIf Holland would live, Germany\nmust not conquer. According to thc\nstory Holland will soon enter thc wnr\non thc side of thc allies and in this\nintervention she will be supported by\nhalf a million British troops, sent\nacross the channel and landed in Hoi\nland. With the troops from Britain\nthe well trained and equipped Dutch\nforces would make an army at leaBt\none million strong, almost in the rear\nof the Germans In Belgium and France\nand in a position to strike at once at\nthe German lines of communication.\nNo doubt Germany would dispute tho\nlauding of British troops in Holland.\nShe could only do this with her fleet,\nand It would bring out the general\nnaval engagement the British have\nlong awaited. Students of the war\nsituation are now watching Holland.\n11\nCAR SH HAY\nRESUMED TODAY\nVarious Characters of School Children\nRequire Individual Study by Teachers, Says Frank G. Calvert.\nIn the opinion of Frank G. Calvert,\nthe new principal of the Nelson public\nschool, It is absurd for a teacher to declare that he has certain methods or\nrules for conducting a school. In an\ninstitution such us thc public school In\nNelson with about 700 pupils, he said,\nthere are just that many different\nidentities to deal with. Temperaments\nthat range from the dull, slow, phclg\nmatic and sometimes downright stupid\nto those highly sensitive, imaginative\nand quick to learn. Each one of theso\nas well as all the grades between, is a\nsubject for careful study In order that\nthe best that is In them may be properly developed. To get the varying\nand growing viewpoint of each pupil is\nno small task, and to lead nnd develop\nthat viewpoint to a simple and com\nprchensive understanding of tbe pupil's\nstudies requires many methods and\nmuch care and thoughtful considera\ntjons on the part of the teacher, said\nMr. Calvert.\nMr. \u2022Oaiyert came orlgina-Uy from\nLondon, Ont., but has spent many\nyears in thc west, having had charge\nof the school in Chllltwaek for several\nyears. He received his training in lho\nnormal school, Vancouver, and was until recently principal of tho Livingstone school in that city. Mr. Calvert,\nwho will take up his work this morning, was accompanied to tho city hy\nMrs. Calvert and their 9-ycar-old son\nHoward.\nADVENT OF CHRIST\nAPPROACHING SWIFTLY\nYear 1844 Marked tho Last Definite\nWarning of Lord's Coming,\nSays Pastor Wood\nEarly in the last century 700 preachers of almost every denomination\npreached that Christ would come in\ntho year 1844, was the statement made\nby Pastor C. E. Wood in his address\nat Eaglo hall last night. That Christ\ndid not como during that year was no\nproof, he said, that they were wrong\nin their calculations of times and seasons as set forth in Biblical prophecies. Ho contented that they bad misread the prophesy and that while it\ndid not actually mean that the advent\nof Christ would take place in that\nyear, it did mean that the year 1844\nmarked the last period preceding his\nsecond coming.\nReferring to ther scriptures, the pastor said that the year 1S14 was tho\nlast definite date given in thc scriptures on which to base calculations\nand that the Almighty would give no\nfurther specific -warnings, lie claimed\nthat tho coming uf Christ might now\nconic to pass at any time.\nBACK TO THE BOOKS\nSCHOOL IS OPEN AGAIN\nThc edict has gone forth. Tho department of education has spoken und\nwilly-nilly, this morning the rows of\ndesks in public and high schools will\nhe filled with freshly-washed faces,\nstiffly frilled frocks and new school\nsuits. Tho fall and winter term will be\non again. Once more tlie clock will\nchange Its habits and instead of sending its hands madly racing round the\ndial as was its wont when thc fishes\nwere \"a'hittln' good,\" or when there\nwere two more Innings tu play and the\nscore a tic, it will resume its old school\ntime habit of allowing them so slip\nbaclc 10 minutes in every ir> and drag'\nglng the hours out to twice their rcg-\nlar length between !) o'clock in tho\nmorning and 3:30 o'clock iu tho after\nnoon.\nOnce more the morning parade of\nlaggard feet and the afternoon race Lo\nbeach and boathouse will begin. The\nstaid 'business man will cast envious\neyes on tho pupils as they pass him\nwith their books and dream remtnis-\noeritly of his old school days as he\nplods to the office. The summer holi\ndays will have passed indeed and the\nserious work of the ycar for the young\nfolks will have begun.\nRepairs at Substation Complete But\nMachines Must Be Thoroughly\nTested Before Cars Will Run.\nAccording to the report of H. P.\nThomas, superintendent of the city's\nelectric and power department, who\nhas been in charge of the repairs at thc\nNelson street railway substation, the\nmotor generator has been put in shape\nandvls being given a test. If thero\nis no further breakdown the cars uiutf\nbe expected to be In commission somo\ntime dining today, *aid Mr, Thomas.\nMr, Thomas exlalned that he had installed the new parts and that the machine is now as good as new, but that\neven a new machine must have at\n'least a 12 to 11-hour test before anything definite can be suid about its\nservice. The superintendent stated\nthat the generator was started at 5:30\no'clock last night and that at a late\nhour It was running smoothly; however, ho added, that it is just possible\nthat another day or two may be needed\nto put It in perfect order. *\nTHREE PAYMENTS NEEDED\nFOR RURAL DELIVERY\nIn a letter received by T.
