The resolution was introduced by MrB. N. R. Jamieson of\nCalgary on behalf of the Culgnry local\ncouncil. Prof. Currie Derick of Montreal pointed out that such a move\nwould be class legislation and would\nleave the farming communlfy open to\ncompetition, while at the same, time\nthe manufacturer was under protection\nof the tariff.\nTho speaker also opposed the resolution on the grounds that.

Morphy Haid the minister had\nnot been any too genorous to the so-\ncalled under class. Ho did not see\nhaw anyone,, especially a married man\nwith children, could live on $600\nyear. He thought the minimum should\nbo $800. He'believed, howover, that\nthero were many young single men in\nthe inside service physically fit who\nought to be at the front and he asked\nif the intention was that these should\nreceive the Increases under the'proposed legislation. He asked if the\nmeasure was to be applied to men who,\ninstead of fighting tholr country's battles, were staying here and drawing\ntheir salaries while tho boys were\ndying at the front. He also inquired\nIf Increases applied to the men who\nbravely wont from the civil servico to\n(he front. ; Were they watched nnd\nprotected?' \\\nSh* Thomas replied that as to safeguarding tho rights of those who had\ngone overseas, he thought that thero\nwere orders in council which had re\ngard to those rights. It went without\nsaying that the position of anyone\noverseas would be held for him.\nSir Sam Hughes asked if the civil\nservants at the front received the statutory increases the same as those\nwho remliined nt home. He. had been\ntold they would not.\nSir Thomas said that an order in\ncouncil had been passed to provide for\nstatutory Increases being given them.\nWith regard to enlistment from the\ncivil service, ho said that, the totnl\nfrom the inside service nt Ottawa was\nDSC, or a total inside and outside of\n3308. If the compulsory service legislation were passed, then the civil service would be subject to Its provisions.\nJ. G. Turriff thought it would cause\nIll-feeling that a civil servant who\njoined the first contingent should get\nboth civil and military pay while others\ndid not.\nHon. G. P. Graham commended the\nminister for allowing civil servants to\nbe promoted from one class to another\nclass without passing an academic examination. If he had his way promotions would be altogether on the recommendation of the deputy. An individual least competent to pass an\nacademic examination might be the\none best, fitted for promotion. Tho\nsame upplied in any business.\nWants Them Outside Politics.\nDr. Chahot declared that It would\nbe in the best interests of'the country if the clyil' service, both inside\nand outside were entirely under tho\ncontrol of commissions and beyond the\npale of politics both in regard to appointment and promotion.\nA. E. Frlpp agreed that It would be\nthe greatest mistake in the world to\ndo away with the recommendations of\nthe deputy minister. It v\/tiniii mean\nthrtt members, for tho tlmo,,being, will\nhe deluged with retpiests of civil servants for promotion.\nMy five years experience,\" said Mr,\nFripp, \"loads .me to believe that it\n'would bo in the interests of the service If the civil servants were removed\nfrom politics and disfranchised. That\nIs my judgment. If the minister would\ngo that far and not allow a civil servant to vote or have any interest in\nthe country politically. I think it would\nbo to their Interests as well as to the\nInterests of the country at large.

The vote of the Montreal city council yesterday was typical, the English-speaking members\nvotlnj for Sir Robert Borden's policy\nand the French-Canadian councillors\nvoting for a referendum.\nWhen the enemy Is at tho door,\nwhen delay may mean defeat and will\ncertainly postpone victory, il is no\ntime to talk nf referendums and plebiscites. One might as. well hold a referendum in the fire brigade while the\ncity Is burning down. It is the political Bhufflers, the dodgers, the evaders\nwho -would procrastinate by means of\na referendum while the lives of Canadians are being sacrificed at tho front\nand the cause of civilization and the\nfreedom of the world is at stake.\nA referendum would involve disfranchisement of the soldiers, or pnr-\nItal disfranchisement, while an attempt, extending over months, was being made to take their votes. Everyone in British Columbia knows' how\nlong It takes to secure a vote overseas\nand that it is impossible to take anything like a full vote. As conditions\nare tbday the number of soldiers who\ncould vote would be much less than\nwhen the British Columbia vote was\ntaken. A greater proportion of the\nmen aro now In the trenches.\nBut every slacker, every anti-Britisher, every pro-German would vote\nln safety behind tho ranks of tho men\nwho are dying for them..\nA referendum under such conditions\nIs out of the question.\nHAVE THE SUBMARINE MENACE\nIN HAND.\nA London forecast of tomorrow's\nweekly report of losses duo to submarine attacks on merchant shipping\nstates thnt in some respects lt will\nbe the best since unrestricted submarine warfare wns inaugurated. When\nLloyd George stnted a couple of weeks\nago that the Hritlsh navy had made\nsuch progress that the menace was\nwell in hand results were awaited with\ninterest and there hns been a great\ndeal of speculation as to tho means\nwhich is being employed to cope with\nthe undersens craft.\nIn this connection a correspondent\nof the London Westminster Gazette\nstates that a new invention Is boing\nusod which is nearly infallible, which\ntakes only a comparatively short time\nto come Into effect and which \"wears\nout\" the submarines. Tlio plan is described as '\"a model of simplicity\" and\nIs stated to be the invention of an\nAmerican who has worked \"along independent lines.\"\nWhether this particular invention is\nbeing used or not, it now seems clear\nthat the edge has beon taken off the\nsubmarine campaign. It must not be\nforgotten, however, lhal the destruction of shipping lias been so large and\nthe demand for tonnage is so immense\nthat tbe situation will continue to be\nHorlous until the shortage of ships\nnnd foodstuff* lias beon overcome, by\nIncreased production and the exorcise\nof strict economy in consumption of\nsupplies by civilians,\nNAVAL ATTACK ON THE BASE AT\nZEEBRUGGE\nThe bombardment of Zeebrugge by\nn Hritlsh fleet, while little is said\nabout it iu despatches, Is one of the\nmost Interesting naval developments\nin months. It means that the British\nfleet, overcoming mines and submarines and facing the heavy handicap of\ncounter-shelling by land batteries, has\nsucceeded iu getting near enough to\nthe enemy's coaHt to bombard It. Zeebrugge is the German submarine and\ndestroyer base in Belgium and for the\ntime being is enemy territory. It Is\ndefended by overy means in tho ene\nmy's power. f\nReports say that the bombardment\nwas effective and that the British\nships, which were apparently large\nvessels, ns heavy guns wore employed,\nescaped practically unscathed. They\nwpre assisted by a heavy fog, which\nhandicapped the batteries on shore.\nThe raid opens up possibilities of\na powerful attack on the coast of Germany. If the mines and submarines\ndefending Zeebrugge can be passed it\nwould seem that favorable conditions\nwill make it possible to. bombard the\nGerman coast further nortnv^\n1 am a slice of bread.\nI am wasted onco a day by -13,000,-\n000 people of Britain.\nI am \"the bit left over;\" the slice\neaten absent-mindedly whon really I\nwasn't needed; I am the waste crust.\nIf you collected-me and my companions for a whole week you would find\nthat we amounted to 9380 tons of good\nbread\u2014waste!\nTwo shiploads of good bread!\nAlmost as much\u2014striking an average\u2014as 20 German submarines could\nsink\u2014even If they had good luck.\nLondon Dally Mirror.\nA campaign against waste Is being\nconducted in Great Britain ond the\nabove is one of the striking appeals\nwhich are being issued to the people,\nIt shows, too, how great a total a little\nwasted here and a little wasted thero\namounts to. Canadians by the exercise\nof thrift can increase tho amount of\nfood available for shipment for tho\nuso of the entente armies and people.\nIt is significant lhat after nil tho\nnoise that the anti-registrationiats\nraised In the United States the actual\nregistration passed off quietly yesterday.\nGermany expended two airplanes\nand their crows, with the net result of\nkilling two Britishers and wounding\n29, In the raid yesterday on the\nThames.\nMore than 10,000,000 young Americans enroled yesterday for war service. The Germans will have to find\nsomething stronger than \"Gott strafe\nAmerica\" to express their feelings\nnow.\nThnt German paper which says that\ntho new order giving* amnesty to Gorman deserters if they return to the army is not a sign of need of mon but is\na \"noble hearted act -by tho emperor\"\neither has nn acute sense of humor or\nnone at all.\nThe Krench government, ns was expected, has triumphed over thoso who,\nwittingly or unwittingly, aro traitors\nto their country and would bring about\npremature pi-ace. Premier Ribot's\nadministration is today stronger than\never.\nUnder conscription essential industries such as coal and metal mining,\nsmelting, agriculture and transportation will not be depleted of men as\nthey havo beon under tbo voluntary\nsystem. Men engaged in tho necessary Industries will lie exempt.\nCOMMUNICATION\nREIBIN ANSWERS CRITIC\nOF BREWSTER GOVERNMENT\nTo the Editor of The Daily News,\u2014\nThe medium of your columns having\nbeen utilized by Mr. Stenson to voice\nhis strictures upon my recent appointment as a notary public by the presont\nidministratlon at Victoria, possibly\nyou will feel prepared to accord a similar privilege to me, in reply.\nThe secrecy of the ballot is too In-'\nvlolable, and it would serve no useful\npurpose to controvert his statement\nto have voted Liberal ut the general\nelection, excepting to remark that some\npolitical effect is expected to result\nfrom this strutegom.\nParticular emphasis Is applied to the\napparent remissness of tho Doukhobors, generally, to participate in military service. Tho government, however, recognizes the merits of the\nDoukhobors in another sphere, no less\nessential to the \"win the wur\" movement, viz., in Increased crop production, for which work so many of Its\nmembers are appropriately trained and\nnow wholeheartedly engaged In assisting.\nWhilo the -Doukhobors may not be\nconsidered to be a political factor,\nsince they do not possess the voter's\nfranchise, they have novel- expected\nnor solicited exemption from taxation,\nund Mr, Stenson can quickly ascertain\nif, both in volume and promptitude,\nthey are less responsive to such public obligations than himself> Thon\nWhy should it appear lo bo so monstrously inequitable when one of their\nmembers is honored by such an administrative appointment?\nS.

While there, he\ncontracted fever and was Invulided to\nthe hilts of India. From hospital there\nhe writes:\n\" As you will see I am still\nhere, and between ourselves I am quite\nsick of this enforced idleness.

Mr. Mederic\nMartin, mayor of Montreal, and supporter of Sir Wilfrid I-nuder in the\nhouse of commons, asked thorn in the\nmime of Laurler not to lie violent. Mr.\nNapoleon Seguin, a Liberal member of\nthe provincial assembly, told the\ncrowd to go home and wait for Sir\nWilfrid Laurier. \"You will seo,\" he is\nreported to have snld, \"that Laurler is\nwith yon.\"\nNot only his own followers in the\nprovince of Quebec, bul the people of\nCanada us a whole, aro still looking to\nSir Wilfrid Laurier for tlio decision\nho ought to have announced on Friday\nlast in the speech he delivered In reply to Sir Robert Horden's statement\nof the government's purpose to Introduce a measure of compulsory service. None arc waiting moro expectantly than the rank and file of the\nLiberal party ln English-speaking\nCanada. They trust thnt Sir Wilfrid\nwill pronounce, as ho ought to pronounce. In favor of tho speedy onnet-\nment of a law to raise by selective\ndrafts the force necessary to bring our\noverseas army up to the strength of\n500,000 men and maintain it thereat.\nWe all trust that Sir Wilfrid will so\ndecide and we all regret that he did\nnot do so at once. If he hud, tho fo-\nmentors of disorder at Quebec would\nnol have been so successful on Victoria day. As wo huve shown, his name\nwas used to tranqullize the crowd. Had\nhe risen to the occasion on Frldny last\nand proffered his support to the government in Us patriotic policy for reinforcing our men at the front, he\nwould have shown tho lendershlp that\nIs required in his provlnco at the pro-\nsent time. As the politician with the\nInrgost following there, a word from\nhim would havo had great weight with\nthe ngltntors who, after doing what\nthey could to prevent volunteering, aro\nnow trying to stir up the people against compulsory service. The orators at\nthe Lnfontalno park meeting uttered\nhis name as ono to conjure with. Now\nIs the time to show himself a strong\nleader In tho province of his chief\nstrength. Uy declaring for compulsory\nservice he wll rebuke the demonstrators against it, and will at least havo\ntho satisfaction of exercising his party\nauthority in behalf of our forces at tho\nfront,\nIt Is tho patriot, not the purtlzan or\nfalterer, whose leadership Is now\nneeded by all groups and sections In\nthis groat country. The political chief\nwho. puts aside every consideration but\nthat of winning tho war can be us*\nfiured uf u following wherever his in\nfluence attracted followers before. The\npeople of French-speaking Canada arc\npreptirod to submit to the guidance of\nmen of commanding patriotism more\nreadily than to the suggestion of the\nseditious. The latter have too long\nbeen permitted to carry on their rascally work. If Sir Wilfrid is strong\nenough to lead In Quebec, let htm but\ndeclare that he Is In favor of the\nprompt enactment of a measure of real\ncompulsory service. That will be received ns the word of a moderator, if\nho but pronounces ll as one who means\nto stand by It. In such times as theso\nlie Is surely a weak leader who will\ntake his cue from those small and vicious underlings of his pnrty who labor to dlsaffcct the rank and file. Also,\nil Is only the weakest of Sir Wilfrid\nLaurler1***) party opponents who can\nwish him to take any line of nction\nthat is contrary to the Interest of the\nnation and the Empire, or damaging\nto his own reputation as a public man.\nParty aims, objects and tactics, ought\nto be sunk nt such a time as this, nnd\nevory man lhat loves his country ought\nto hope that Sir Wilfrid Laurler will\nnow prove himself a strong Canadian,\n\u2014Toronto Mail and Empire.\nPROVINCE RUNS A BANK\nThe first one hundred dollar bond,\nor certificate of deposit, of the new\nManitoba Farm Loan association, under which cheaper money will be provided for the grain growers of tho province, hus been sold.\nThe buyer of the certificate was\nMiss Ruth W.

It is strange how It\nalmost always needs the hand of\ndeath or at least a break down in\nhealth for people to realize a man's\ngood qualities; and thero can be no\ntwo opinions that for the position he\noccupied Sir Richard possessed a\ngreat many lhat wore invaluable. A\nman with his personality could never\nbe a nonentity In any community, and\nhere in Ills own province he certainly\nhas mado himself a name to conjure\nwith. Now that his mind is free from\nofficial worries It is to be hoped his\nhealth will return nnd that we may\nseo him completely recovered when he\ncomes amongst us onco again. Platitudes. Platitudes. Hundreds of\narticles all couched In vory much the\nsame tone have appeared in all parts\nof tho world. Now here the I ruth.\nThe position of agent-general in London wus far too lino n job to be left\nIn the hands of a political opponent, so\nthe hot-heads of the Liberal ranks\ntook a firm grip of the big stick and\npractically forced the premier to draft\na bill canceling Sir Richard's appointment. Nothing less thnn that would\nsatisfy them. They hnd the whip hand\nand they knew It, and tho \"no patronage\" cry having served its purpose,\nneed not of course be taken into account. To such lengths as this may\npolitical warfare be carried on, the\nonly concession being the compromise\nof \"resignation\" Instead of a bill before the house. Now what?

S.\nWhile all the peoples of the United\nStates, with the exception of the Indians, are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants, statisticians apply the term Immigrant only to those\nwho have come to our shores since the\nDeclaration of Independence, July 4,\n1776. According to the census figures,\nthese number 33,000,000. Those who\nremained hero, with their descendants,\nnow compose about 35,000,000 of our\n108,000,000 inhabitants. About 10,000,-\n000 immigrants arrived in the United\nStates before 1890 and about 17,000,000\nsince.\nIt is interesting to note, In the present circumstances, the numerical relation between our German immigrants\nand those from other countries. Previous to 1890 we received 6,000,000 immigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, 5,125,000 from Germany, 2,000,000\nfrom Scandinavia, nnd about 2,000,000\nfrom all other countries. Since 1890\nthero hnve been but 1,023,000 from\nGermany, less than a million from\nScandinavia and Great Britain combined and about 15,000,000 from other\ncountries\u2014mostly those of Southern\nEurope. The census shows that there\nare in the United States today 8,000,-\n000 people of German stock or uncos\ntry, but that less than one million of\nthese hnve come to America since 1890.\nThat is to say, there are not one million persons ln this country who themselves or whoso ancestors ever owed\nallegiance to the present kaiser. On\nthe other hand a large mass of our\ncitizens of German blood truce their\nparentage to those who, like Carl\nSchuiv. and his compatriots, either fled\nfrom political oppression, or sought\nthe better economic conditions of this\nlund of individual freedom. These figures prove, beyond need of commont,\nlow greatly exaggerated are the fears\nthat America's people will bo divided\nin the struggle with Germany\u2014The\nEagle Magazine.\nf Every 10c\nPacket of\nWILSONS\nFLY PADS\nWILI KILL MORE FLIES THAN\nS8'-0 WORTH OF ANY \u25a0\nSTICKY riY CATCHER\nClean to handle.

The resolution concludes by\nappealing to Sir Wilfrid Laurler to\nuse \"his influence to induce the people\nof Quebec to do their duty, not only to\nthe Empire but in the interests of civilization and for the salvation of the\nliberties of mankind.\"\nRev. W. H.

They\nwere very pronounced and unanimous\nin their criticisms of thoso who shirk\ntheir duty.\nThe chairman, In calling upon Mr.\nWatts, said there could be no doubt as\nto which party he belonged and he\ntrusted that at some future date representatives of the other side would address the members. Mr, Watts admitted that ho was a Conservative, but as\na partlzan prior to the inception of\nthe Non-Partlzan league, he had publicly advised the women to hold aloof\nfrom party politics, to preserve their\nindependence, to use their own discretion in the selection of.representatives\ninstead of permitting any political machine to do It for them, as a noh-partlzan body during tho serious crisis\ntholr expression of opinion would\ncarry more weight than any partlzan\nresolutions, and he would strongly advise that In addition to the resolutions\nunder consideration, that an appeal lie\nmade to'Sir Vt*Tliiirt Laurler to'uso his\ninfluence to Induce the people of Quebec to do their'duty for the sake of\nhumanity\u2014not for the sake of Groat\nBritain or the Empire, whose sons nre\nfighting for the salvation of the\nmotherland nf tho French-Canadians,\nsome of whom are dastards Indeed who\nthreaten to take up arms against the\nprotectors of ' the noble country,\nFrance, which gave them birth.

On March\n12 Col.

You need have\nno anxiety over the articles in question. It is not my intention to keep\nthem, and if I have not returned them\nbefore now it is beeauso my time has\nbeen all taken up with my official duty,\nI prefer making no comment whatever\non your conduct In this matter.\"\nThe articles, evidently bad not\nreached Col.

The correspondence explains\nItself, and I he***** tn request that Im\nmediate stops bo taken to recover the\narticles named us 1 am unable to In\nduco Mr, Sevigny to accede to my request in this regard.\"\nNext day Mr. Nowcombe acknowledged the receipt of Col, Smith's request and on Muy 1 he wrote the following letter to tho sergoant-at-arms:\n\"Referring to the claim which you\nsent me recently for tho return of\nsomo articles by the Hon.

So dependent are the peo-;\npie of the world upon the potato as a\nstaple article of. diet, that the fate ot*\nnations may depend upon the success\nor fa|lurc of the potato crop, poring\nthe Inst few years that crop has been\nutterly Inadequate. This article tolls\nwhy It must be Increased during tho\ncoming year and What you-enn do to\nhelp increase It.\nIn classic English the word spud\nsignifies a digging Instrument, some-'\nwhat like a spnde. ln the vernacular,\nthe term Is applied, affectionately to\nth'e chief of vegetables unearthed by\nthnt Instrument\u2014the potato. Tho potato is the most democratic fond in\nthe world\u2014popular with the great and,\nIn normal times, easily withiirthc reach\nof tho common peoplo, among whom it\nIs the staple article of diet. In short,\nthe humble \"spud\" is exactly the sort\na vegetable you would expect the \"land\nof. the free\" to produce, says the Eagle\nMngazine,\nFor the potato is nol, ns commonly\nsupposed, a. native of Ireland. It was\nunknown to the Old World. Like Indian, corn it was first found in America. It became popular in Ireland first\nbecause It was easy to cultivate nnd\neasy to cook, and, second, because it\nwas hard to carry away. In the days\nof rack-renting landlords, the grain,\npoultry or cattle of tho Irish peasant\ncould be seized by tiie avaricious overlord and shipped to England. But\ntho mild climate of tho Emerald ' Isle\nenabled the shrewd Irishman to keep\nhis potatoes hidden in the ground all\nwinter, digging them a mess at a\nlime as they were needed. The humble\nspud accordingly became the great\nfood crop of Erin. \"If broad is the\nstaff of life,\" a certain Hibernian- is\nsaid to havo remarked, \"sure potatoes\nare tho crutch.\" The utter dependence of the Irish on thnt. crutch has\nresulted in terrible suffering and starvation when blight or disease has caused the failure of tho single crop.\nOf recent years Ireland lias lost her\nclaim to being the land, par excellence,\nof the potato. The vegetable has become a well loved staple throughout\nthe world. In Germany, especially,\nperhaps because of the high food value\nyielded per aero, tho farmers havo,\nwithin a few years, outdone the Irish\npeasantry in making the potato the national food. Tho Imperial government,\nwith lhat military efficiency that characterized it oven before the war began, took account of this mammoth\nproduce not long ago and found thnt,\nin the consumption of the tuber tho\nGerman had beaten the Colt clear out\nof sight. According to statistics, each\nman, woman and child In Germany\nconsumed on nn average. 2r, pounds of\npolntoes each week. Germany was producing inoro of tbe bumble spud than\nwas any other country of the world,\nand hor yield per acre was second only\nto,thnt of Belgium. Intensive farming\nhaft reached tho highest point in tbe\nsmaller country, but Germany was *not\nfar behind.\nIn 11)13, Germany's crop was 54,000,-\n000 tons; In 1R14 it wns 1)5,000,000. The\nfollowing yenr It shrank to 40,000,000;\nbut by cutting off tbe use of the potato for the distillation of alcohol and\nthe feeding of livestock, the govern-*\nment was still able to maintain the,\nweekly 2n pounds per capita for the\npeople? The effects of the scanty supply was felt only by the prisoners of\nwar, who received reduced rations. In\n1010 the crop was nearly a failure.'\nLess than 25,000,000 tons of potatoes\nwere produced* and a large proportion\nof this amount was of poor quality.\nIn view of tho distress nnd food riots,\nthat resulted from tho scanty supply it\nhas boon suggestert thnt a failure of\nthis year's crop might force Germany\nto sue for peace. The humble spud\nwill hove Indeed come up In the world\nif it should prove more potent than\nshells and shrapnel In deciding the\nworld conflict.\nGermany's potato crop, however,\ndoes not immediately concern us. That\noftthe United States does. Here In\nAmerica, also, tho potato is on the\nway to becoming nn aristocrat. Not\nonly was our potato crop of last year\nfar helow tbe average but our cereals\ntoo, fell short. The increased demands\nfor supplies for foreign countries\u2014far\ngreater because of the war, than anything previously conceivable resulted\nin n shortage that affected prices to\nsrfch an extent that now the \"high\ncost of living\" has become 'a problem\nnot only for tbo housewife but for tho\nnation. Although the advance ln prices\nhas boon aggravated through the activities of conscienceless speculators,\nmany of whose attempts at ojctortion\nhavo been curbed only through governmental interference, much of tho Increase has resulted from unavoidable\ncauses. Potatoes are not the only food\nwhose price has reached from four tn\nsix times the ordinnry figure. And\ntbe worst of it Is that the future \"offers\nlittle hope of relief. Ottr winter wheat\ncrop for tho present year will doubtless be innny million bushels below\ntho normal yield.\nThore is springing up, however n nation wide conviction that extraordinary\nmeasures nre needed to enlnrgo the\nsummer production of food and thus\nsave the country from shortage, perhaps even from famine. The people\nare beginning lo realize thnt the acreage given over to the production of\nspring wheat, barley, oats and Indian\ncorn must he increased to the utmost\npossible limit and that potatoes, beans\nand garden vegetables must bo produced in large quantities. The farmers, of course, will havo to look after\ntho planting and harvesting of the\ncereals, but everyone who hns a bit of\nland available can share in tho raising\nof vegetables including the humble\nspud.\nSo serious is tho situation thnt\nPresident Wilson has issued a formal\nappeal, urging each man. woman and*\nchild of the nation to contribute somo-\nThe\nLatest\nStyle\nin gas ranges is this\nnew McClary cabinet\nmodel.\nEvery part of the\ncooking and baking\nis at a convenient\nheight for any woman.\nBaking and broiling\novens are very roomy.\nThe same burner\nheatsboth,savinggas.\nEasy to clean.\nWhite enameled back splasher and aluminized oven.\nRust-proof black enamel finish that requires no stove\npolish.

Even\nbefore the appeal was published, individuals and organizations were planning a new sort of tyick to the soil\nmovement, which did. not require a\nremoval, bag and baggage, to the country, but demanded simply the utilization of all available land In cities and\ntowns. Amateur gardeners nre now\nat work all over the country. In many\nplaces, the use of vacant land has been\nolTered free foi' cultivation. Parks,\nplensure grounds and ornamental plots\nnre being devoted to tho production of\nfood. Oftentimes seers are furnished\nfree nnd expert advice is given to the\nnmnteur gardener without chai-ge.\nOne of the chief things to be accomplished in this back to the soil movement, is tho putting of the humble spud\nin his place. He has \"jio right to bo\nexclusive, like tbe orange, in tissue\npaper wraplpngs. He ( is a nouveau\nrlche upstart who belongs among the\ncommon peoplo. Everyone can help to\nput him where he belongs; for the potato enn bo cultivated almost anywhere\u2014In dooryards and backynrds, in\nvacant lots\u2014wherever n few square\nfeet of earth are available. Women\nand little children, feeble old mon\nenn do the work required. The price\nof seed is high; but lt Is not prohibitive.

The\nReformist Socialists are thoso who\nhave always been In favor nf the most\nvigorous prosecution of the war; the\nOfficial Soeinlists, on the otlier hand,\nhave been opposed to Italian Intervention. Among those taking port in the\ncongress wero' the minister, Slgnor\nBlssolatl, Slgnor Canepa, the commissioner-general for food, Senator\nPulle and a large number of deputies.\nDelegates from Gorizia were also\npresent. Belgian Socialists were represented ln the person of M, Destrees\nand the Russians by the Socialist\nRlchter and others.\nSignor BIsBolati who was greeted\nOn rising with hearty applause, said\nthat thoy sent a salutation to democratic and socialistic Russia, not only\non account of the sympathy which\nthey had always felt for the Slav\ncharactor, but because it was also\ntheir duty to do so as a political act.\nIt was known that the kaiser's Socialists were trying to Induce the Russian\nSocialists to bring pressure to bear\no'\u00bb the provisional government to conclude a operate peace. The Socialists\nof all the allied nations should stand\ntogether to show the Russian Socialists their solidarity and should beg\nthem to scout the German proposals.\nThe great majority uf the committee\nof workmen and soldiers al Petrograd\nhad already rejected these treacherous\nunderhanded advances, but the defense\nneeded strengthening because they\nknew the tenacity of the Germans.\nDelegates were going from Italy to\nRussia to make known the Italian\nideals to their Russian comrades and\nto help them to frustrate the German\nplans. Signor Blssolatl then proposed\na resolution framed on the lines Indicated in his speech, in which the congress expressed its satisfaction that\nthe Russian proletariat know how to\nrepulse the Insidious advances with\nwhicti German socialism, in agreement with kalserlsm, was endeavoring to detach Russia from her allies,\nand which, advanced under iho gnise\nPjl sympathy lor the Russian people,\nwould if successful, involve the betrayal of the Russian revolution, and\ninstead of being the glorious champion\nof the liberty of all nations it would\nthen become. If the German attempts\nsucceeded, the accomplice of German\ndomination.

A\nbrief spceeli was made by the Russian\nSopiallst Rlchter, and the resolution\nwas agreed to amid much applause.\nAfter speeches from S. S. Bertesl and\nBerentni, the Belgian Socialist M. Destrees, who, in the name of the Socialists of Belgium, associated himself\nwith the message to tlio Russian people, and others, Signor Blssolatl again\naddressed the congress.\nIt was unnecessary, he snid, to offer\nany explanation of his presence at\nthe congress; the Reformist Socialists were in perfect accord with the\ngovernment on all questions concerning the war which. Indeed, they had\nbeen the first to recognize as necessary for Italy and a duty for the nation. It was clearer thon ever today,\nsaid the speaker, that Europe desired\nto be a federntlon of free peoples and\nnot the colonial dominion of a predatory state. Signor Bissolatl referred\nto the vigorous strength of Kngland,\nthe Russian revolution, nnd tho intervention of the United States, and said\nthat theso all implied the march of\nsocialism, the suppression of the rapacious egotism of militnry states, the\nfoundation of international right and\nthe preparation of a lasting peace\namong the peoples. A resolution wus\nsubsequently agreed to In favor of an\nattempt to consolidate all tbe Italian\nSocialist groups In one body. The\nonly subject on which complete unanimity was not apparent wns that of\nthe annexation of Dalmatia, ngainst\nwhich the voice of Signor Mondlalnl\nwas raised; however, the majority of\nthe congress was apparently in favor\nof annexation.\nA number of questions were considered by the congress, among which\nwere, the supply and distribution of\nfood, the reform of the bureaucracy,\nthe expropriation of land for tbe benefit of soldiers returning from the wnr,\nand the need lhat the land, through\nimproved cultivation, should be made\nto yield its utmost. The congress also\naffirmed Its conviction that the Reformist Sociulist party should give\nevery attention to the need for obtaining better conditions for women in industry and should do Its utmost to\nfurther the extension of the franchise\nto women.\nMatinee 2:30\nThe Land o'\nLizards\n5-Fart Mutual Star Production\n\"THE VOICE ON THE WIRE\"\nEpisode No. 2\nTHE MYTERIOUS MAN IN\nBLACK\nTomorrow\u2014Mary MacLaren in\nTHE MYTERIOUS MR8.

C\u2014A force of\nAmerican Indians, consisting of 10 or\nmore regiments of cavalry, to guard\nthe Mexican border while other elements of the regular army are participating in the European war, was\nadvocated by Dr. .loseph Kossuth\nDixon of Philadelphia, who lectured\nhero under the auspices of the Notional\nPress club.\nMr. Dixon pointed to the fact that\na bill to accomplish this purpose is\nnow pending hefore congress. He assorted that the Indian has those mosi\nvital elements In the making of a soldier\u2014the ability to shoot and a knowledge of how to live in the open. Ho\ndeclared thnt the Indian is \"capable,\nadaptable and available.\" The speaker\nadded that the government in the past\nhas used the Indian of the border to\nhunt down renegades of his own race.\nHe urged that the legislation providing for a North American Indian cavalry be passed, and this resource of\nthe \"nation used in the most effective\nway. i\nIn this connection Dr. Dixon advocated citizenship as the privilege most\nvital to the development of tho Indian\nand proposed that such citizenship be\nmade a part of the government's acceptance of the Indian into the army.\nDr, Dixon recently conducted tho\nRodman Wnnamnker historical expedition to North American Indians, in\nthe course of which he traveled 50,000\nmiles, visiting every tribe In the\nUnited States, taking 10 miles of moving picture film of an educational and\nhistorical character, as well as many\nwonderful stltl pictures,\nParticulars of tlio Injuries and condition of Liout.

Being thrown back\non ourselves, we have already increased our output of Industrial products a hundredfold ln several directions, and this war will have -proved\na blessing in disguise if through Us\nteaching wc shall havo learned how\ngreat a field of enterprise lies open\nto us' in the Industrial and agricultural spheres, and how necessary it\nIs to organize ourselves Industrially.\nI verily believe, then, however conscious we may be at this moment of\nthe extra burden which we have taken\nupon ourselves, that it lies in our own\npower to cope with it, and that some\nday, in consequence of our efforts, wo\nshall look buck to this war as the date\nof India's industrial birth,\"\nWith regard to the war loan, his\nexcellency sold: \"It still remains for\nmc to Impress on you lhat It Is the\nduty of each of us to secure the maximum response to India's war loans.\nIn the first place let us remember that\nevery million that comes from India\neases not merely the exchange difficulty which we are experiencing here,\nbut through It the exchange difficulty\nwith which his majesty's government\narc confronted at home. Next, let none\nof us think that wc have done enough\nuntil we hnve made the question of\nhow much wo can manage a matter\nof real thought and anxious contrivance. Wo are not asked to givo outright, but to lend the largest amount\nwhich we can make available. Lastly,\nwe want all to subscribe, and wo can\nonly get the countless millions to join\nln, if the duty and advantage of subscribing ure fully brought home to\nthem. For this wo want propaganda\nwork, and tho mora unofficial that\npropaganda is, tho more satisfactory\nwill bo its results.\"\nReferring to tho increased cotton\nduties, the viceroy said: \"Is not tho\nimposition of an extra duly on cotton\ngoods, thus raising tho import trade\nto our general tariff level, nn event\nwhich of itself makes this budget and\nthis session memorable? A grievnnce\nhas thus been removed which has\nheen for a long time a standing source\nof irritation.

Tho writer in the\nVictoire points out that the difficulties\nof transport, arising from the worn\nout condition of the French railways\nand rolling stock at the moment, can\nbe overcome only by the use of water\ntransport. The great necessity, 'he\nurn in tu Ins, for the modern merchant\nfleets lies in the ability to enter nny\nport, nnd to penetrate as far as possible Into tho country by mentis of\ncanals and rivers, and with this ond\nIn view, the most useful ships will\nbe those not drawing too much water\nnnd of ii n average tdsse of from 4000\nto fiOOO tons, these to bo supplemented by n fleet of sea-going lmrge\u00bb\ndrawing about 1000 tons each. Hefore\nthe v.'nr, by reason chiefly of iho extremely low freights then prevalent,\nthe tendency wns to increase the-size\nof merchant ships so that enormous\ncargoes could be carried, and, In con-\nseqmiice, on'y the 'argent ports nnd\n-,... I t.a hrirn en sM bP vi.dtcd by\n-inch shlPfl, 'I'hyHn days- iho -ffrltor\nthinks, are over, and the future lies\nwith smaller vessels. He points lo\ntho accelerated program of shipbuilding to be carried out in Kngland\nand especially to the American project\nfor building as rapidly as possible a\nfleet of medium-sized wooden merchant ships. The ships of which\nFrance stands SO much In need, might,\nho thinks, be constructed of wood,\nsteel, iron or concrete, nnd their motive power derived from steam or petrol, not excluding the use of sails.\nHe urges tbo necessity for France\nImmediately to take steps to increase\nher merchant fleet, not only in order\nthat sho shall not find herself In an\nInferior position with regard to other\nnations at the end of tho war, but with\nthe object of relieving her present\neconomic conditions.\nThe writer In the-Revue des deux\nMomies emphasizes the same point.\nFrench industrial production during\ntho war, has, he maintains, achieved\nmarvelous results, but he claims that\ntho necessity for shipbuilding has not\nreceived the same attention as that of\nother branches of the national requirements and he urges the necessity\nfor giving serious and prompt attention to the matter. He points out the\nimpossibility of mnklng good the\nshortage by purchase, the greater\nnumber of nations having forbidden\nnot only the transfer of their flag but\nthe sale of ships. Construction tn\nFrench shipyards alone, he maintains,\nwill meet the difficulty. One stumbling block lies in the fact that the production of iron in France ut the present moment, is, it Is no secret, Inadequate to meet tho demands made upon\nIt. An increased output from the\nmines is, in the circumstances, tho\nfirst consideration und fresh efforts\naro being made In this direction, but\nthe results aro not, he considers, llke-\n\" Where Everybody Goes,\nTONIGHT ONLY\n6:46 to 10:40.\nEnchanting Little\nMargueriti\nClark\nsupported by Conway Te\nClara K.
