The finish in\nprovisions varied from 5 cents decline\nto a rise of 16 cents.\nAt first, corn traders did not seem\ndisposed to attach any market significance to the vlslssitudes of the Italian armies. Wet weather delays to the\nmovement of the new crop formed the\nInitial dominating influence and also\nbrought about a moderate advance of\nvalues. Later, however, the fact that\nthe Italian retreat had bearlslily affected the New York stock market led\nto some Increase of selling pressure on\nthe corn.

W. Woodward,\nvicar-general of the diocese of Zanzibar and East Africa and archdeacon\nof Magila, has presented a petition to\nthe commander-in-chief, East Africa,\non behalf of himself and the other\nprisoners Interned In prison camps.\nHe says .the prisoners (all civilians\ndebarred from leaving the colony at\nthe. outbreak of war), apn rt . from\nhardships, insults and privations at\nthe hands of the guards, have been\npurposely subjected to cruelties and\ntreatment calculated to lower the\nprestige of the British race in tho\neyes of the natives. On an appeal\nagainst such treatment the prisoners\nwere informed that they had no rights\nand that, parties making such appeal\nwould be severely punished. The\npetition prays that a court of Innulry\nbe constituted to verify the allegations contained in the schedule; that\nall guards and their superior officers\nresponsible for the administration of\nthe various prison camps be detained\npending such inquiry; and that the\ncourt shall deal with the matter.\nMuch of the evidence referred to In\nthe schedule of the petition is unfit\nfor publication as It refers to loathsome work (such as carrying drums\nof excrement) Imposed upon men\nprisoners for and In Ihe presence of\nnatives and unnatural sufferings\ncaused to women. As an example of\nthis,. English ladies were nlaced in a\nshed with open door outside which\nGermnn soldiersstrimvd and had their\nbath.

It was necessary to yo\nto Culwe Station, 20 miles away. It\nwas pourins with rain, und she asked\nfor a native chair. Dorrendorf abused\nber violently and  refused.\n\"Klborlanl, where Dorrendorf was In\ncharge, was the only place to my\nknowledge where priests and ladies\nwere made to work. The ladies had to\nmake socks and underclothing for the\nGermans. Kiborlani was supposed to\nbe a first-cltfas camp, to'which privileged, prisoners' were sent, especially\nladles. Dorrendorf had a reputation,\nbefore the war, of {rrosH brutality\ntowards  natives.\n\"Dorrendorf built a special punishment cell, w)iich be called Ross.'

Vanishments wfci'<: inllieicd\non any one who omitted this .salute.\nThe KI.joria.ni prisoners were moved\nto Buigtii, with Donendort' In charge.\nThe behavior of the native guards towards the prisoners at Kilmrlanl was\nextremely insolent, and was encouraged by Dorrendorf, The guards would\nenter our rooms (even thoso of the\nladies) and compel the occupants to\nleave their beds. Miss Home, a nurse,\nwas ordered to leave KlboMaril for Kil-\ntamtindo to altend typhoid cases. Dorrendorf would not allow her a native\nchair, and she was compelled to walk\nthe 20 miles to Klllmatinde. Miss Dut-\nton, of the mission, waa a few minutes\nlate at work one morning, and Dorrendorf abused her violently and threatened her with bread ami water.\n\"Dorrendori was TreQuently the\nworse for liquor and extremely noisy.\nOnce he broke Into a room In which\nsix of the ladles wore sleepiu','.\nForty-nine European prisoners (nearly\nall British), thiriy-four of whom were\nladles and twelve of whom were babies\nln arms, were taken by Dorrendori'\nfrom Buigiri to Tabora. We wulked\nto Kikombo. We wero marched\nstraight into an iron goods-shed, together with forty-one native prisoners.\nArmed askaris were posted on all four\nsides of the shed. Dorrendorf gave orders that the ladies wero to be allowed\nto go to the lavatory two at a time\nunder armed escort.\n\"One of tbe askaris was very insulting and brought Dorrendorf and Gerth\nthe other German guard. Gerth kicked\nagainst the shed and shouted. Someone laughed, thinking it was a native.\nGerth entered. He had been drinking.\nHe was purple with rage. He abused\nus. Then Dorrendorf entered in a\nsimilar state. He abused the English\nnation. He abused Sister Eva (Miss\nClutterbuck) violently, and said\nEnglish women make more trouble\nthan the men, and finally, instructed\nthe jyuard to shout at once any man or\nwoman, white or black, who moved.\nHe went out saying \"Swine!\" We\nwei;e left without food for twenty-two\nhours, until wo wrote for some. (The\nsufferings of the women are then described.)\n\"At 10 a. in. Miss Plant sent A note\nden to mako a fire, and soul a quantity of rice, a lump of fresh pork, and\na bucket of water. About midday the\nheat was dreadfuj. There was no\nventilation, except for one window\ncovered with matting. The askarl said\nDorrendorf was asleep and we sthould\nhave to wall.\n\"lu Tabora a charge of immorality\nwas brought ngainst Dorrendorf. the\norigin or Inception of which I do not\nknow.

Time and time\nagain they have doac something especially memorable which has thrilled\nthe hearts of the people at homo. The\nvictory of Passchamlaele is one ol\nthese.\nIt seems almost unthinkable that any\nseotlon ot public opinion in Canada\nshould be averse to the employment oi\nselective conscription in order to assure that the Canadian divisions shall\nbe kept reinforced nnd enabled to con-\ntinuo in strength to strike at the Germans.\nthose whose policy would result in\nCanada retiring from effective participation in the war.\nThere can be no union between\nLaurier adherents and supporters of\nthe Unionist government. The union\nthat has taken plaeo has been a union of wholehearted Win-the-War\nconscrlptlonists of all parties.\nARMY   DISORDER   IS   SYMPTOM,\nNOT DISEASE\nOfficers of the Petrograd garrison\nmake the declaration that the \"lack\nof any sense of responsibility\" In the\nmen of the Russian army \"will complete the ruin of the country.\" Perhaps the Petrograd military commanders are unduly pessimistic us to the ultimate effect of tive lack of discipline\nin the army, but unfortunately It is\ntoo evident thnt the statement of present conditions is close to the truth.\nRussia's army Is little better than a\nrabble.\nPerhaps the inclination is to criticise\ntoo severely the government at Petrograd tor tailing io reestablish order.\nIt hns no efficient force with which id\nenforce the laws. The police count for\nnothing under tho conditions which\nexist In Russia and. the army is the\nmost noisy centre of anarchy.\nObviously, If control ol' the army\nwere gained, there would soon Ik- an\nend of internal disturbances. It is this\nfact which has perhaps misled the\nRussian government. It hus treated\nthe army as the disease instead of the\nsymptom of the trouble, lt still appears, from tliis distance, that the disorder in the army is but the symptom\nof tho real disease, which is economic\ndisorder among the civilians at the\nrear. If Russia's internal diseases were\nremedied disorders in the army would\nsoon bo cured.\nGermany's successes against Italy\nwill not relieve tho hunger of a sin-\ngle German nor weaken the entente\nblockade one iota.\nPreparedness to purchase Victory\nwar bonds is what will count when the\nIssue is offered to the Canadian people.\nA shortage of metal on this continent has become apparent.

It is on the western\nfront that the main Issue of the war\nwill be decided.\nIt is to be hoped that the attendance\nol\" Unionists who intend to support\nthe Unionist government candidate to\nbe nominated at the convention Friday\nwill he large at the Nelson meeting\nThursday which is to select, delegates.\nThe call states that the meeting will\nbe open to all the many Unionists in\nNelson, no matter what their former\nparty affiliation.\nNA TION A L H YPOCRISY,\nBRITISH AND GERMAN\nWAR   POLICY   IS   THE   SUPREME\nISSUE\nCanada'a Unionist government is\ncomposed of rrpronentutIves of tbo\nConservatives, Liberals aud Labor\nmen who are milled on lhe policy of\nvigorous prosecution of tbe war, including tho complete and effective enforcement uf thn Military Service act.\nVictory for the Unionist government at the forthcoming election will\nmean a victory for the Canadian soldiers at the front. It will mean tbat\nthey will be assured of adequate reinforcements to make good tho loss uf\nthose who have sacrificed Uvea or\nhealth in tho cause of liberty and that\nCanada's four divisions will not have\nto dwindle to three, to two, to one, to\nnothing.\n.That is tho supreme Issue of the\nforthcoming election. That Ik tho basis\nof tho policy upon which tbe Unionist\ngovernment, has boon formed. Thfil, as\nHon. Arthur Meighen has.stated, is\nthe rock upon which the Unionist\ngovernment has constructed Its policy.\nThat is the firm foundation upon\nWhich the government will stand or\nfall.\nThe price to be paid for $60,000,000\npar value of Canadian Northern stock\nis to be limited to $10,000,000, That\nwill be a sad blow to those who have\nbeen attempting to make the people\nbelieve thnt the government wns paying $60,000,000. Tho actual .tmount\nwill be decided by arbitration and,\nwhile it may not exceed the sum which\nis to be set, it may be much less. It\nmay bo nothing, if the arbitrators so\nfind.\nApropos of a Quebec speaker's claim\nthat the Unionist government should\ninclude Sir Wilfrid Laurier it may be\nrecalled   that   Sir   Robert   Borden   did\ninvite   Sir  Wilfrid,   but  that   the   opposition leader finally refused because\nhe would not consent to selective draft.\nAll that resulted from the offer\ndelay,  Sir Robert,  of course,  refusij\nto  recede  from his  policy of  keepir\nthe Canadian troops supplied with r<\nInforcements.\n(By Prof. D. J. Medley.)\nThere is no charge which thu Germans bring against us so commonly as\ntbat of hypocrisy. We are a hypocritical\nnation. \"Perfidious Albion\" has become \"hypocritical England.\" There\nIs no action of ours which is free\nfrom this taint. Our wholo national\npolicy is an organized hypocrisy.\nThus, while we progress to have gone\nto war for the protection of Bolguim\nand even for the rescue of France\nfrom the humiliation which she hnd\ncourted and deserved, we were really\naiming at the destruction of Germany.\nOur motive was not tho protection of\nsmaller nations or the assertion of the\nsanctity of treaties, but, as the kaiser\nhas recently expressed 11, \"envy, envy\nand, again, envy alone.\" We prate\nabout the blessings of democracy while\nwe tyrannize over India and Egypt\nand Ireland, and when Korniloff declared against Kerensky, the entente\npress, in obedience of course, to our\ndictation, backed the former in the\nhope that ho would restore the imperialistic regime in Russia. We talk\nabout the solidarity of the entente,\nbut such Is our need of ponce, owing to\nthe effective action of the U-boat, that\nif Germany could see its way to satisfy us about Belgium, we would willingly leave both France and RushUi\nIn the lurch.

All this is of a\npe'cc with our acquisitions of German\ncruelty, whon, it is notorious (though\nthe Germans forget that their own\ngeneral staff in its official histroygavo\nthe lie direct to the charge) that we\ntreated the Boers in a manner which\naroused the indignation of Europe.\nNow, German statesmen pride themselves on their renlpolitik, that is,\nthey boast that in their foreign policy\nthey face, facts and discard all sentiment in a field which does not admit\nof its exhibition, namely, international\nrelations. Other' nations, judging no\ndoubt from their own evil dispositions,\nhave attributed all kinds of sinister\ndesigns to German policy before the\nwar, whereas all the German cards\nhave been on the diplomatic table for\nyears for other nations to see. Germany proclaims now, as she proclaimed by the mouth of the kaiser at the\nbeginning of the war and for many\nyear.'? previously, that she has no aggressive designs, she merely desires\nwas t0 ensure the place among tbe nations\nto which her strength and resources\nentitle her; she will not be dependent\non the good will of other powers. Thus\nEngland is ber chief enemy, England,\njwho for her own selfish ends has de-\n! liberately leagued nil other nations\nagainst the latest aspirant for international honors and who has always\ninconsistently opposed the rise of any\nnew state. If other nations aro too\nblind to see through English hypocrisy,\nis   not  among  them,     lt   is\noral organ iu Montreal, thinks the now\ngovernment Is promoted by persons\nanimated by fanaticism against French\nCanadians. If that is the spirit of the\nunion Liberals in Le Canada's mind,\none realizes that the Ontario Conservatives could never be anything but\nbigoted \"orangcists.\" Some of the old\ntime politicians are illustrating in p.\nsimilar way how much decency there\nwas in their assaults on their Conservative opponents. Hon. Frank Oliver\nfor instance, who, prior to union government assailed the fellow Liberal.\nGen. Sir Arthur Currie because the\ngeneral appealed for support for out\narmy, now assails another fellow-Liberal, Hugh Guthrie, as guilty of tho\n\"crime of Judas\" for joining a unloi.\ngovernment.\nIt becomes clear that whatever the\nBorden government did In connectioi.\nwith tho war was certain to be attacked in a vicious way from the outset by a considerable section of thi\nLioeral press and politicians, no matter what the real merits wore,\u2014Ottawa Journal-Press.\nTho military autocracy which still\nholds Germany by the throat, cannot\nin fact propose terms of peace which\nthe entente allies would be willing to\ndiscuss without paving the way for its\nown abdication. It would have to\nmake public confession that its leadership had failed. It would have to\nconfess responsibility, for a catastrophe whose extent the German mind\nstill refuses to realize. Any peace\nwhich the non-German world can consider worth while must involve the destruction of the existing German government. For when the government\ngrows so weak that it must ask for a\nreal peace, involving a renunciation\nof all its plans for conquest and spoliation, the German people will themselves turn and rend it.

Never before has the\nathletic one bad a better opportunity\nlo give his admirers so much of his\ninimitable self and the various surprises aro in store for bis many friends\nwho wUlvlslt the Gem theatre.\nBecause of tho various twists of tho\nstory, disclosing many surprises, tho\ndetails of the plot must needs be kept\nsecret in order to get the greatest benefit out of the picture, but suffice it\nto say that tho FairbariUs-Emorcon-\nLoos combination has loft no stone unturned in Us effort to break all previous records.

You must\ncome tomorrow.\" I explain lhat I\nam invited to luncheon. \"M. KerenBky\nhns gone to the duma to the workmen's\ncouncil. 1 have no idea when he will\nbe back.   In these days, you know\u2014\"\nHo shrugged his shoulders. Then\nalmost before 1 had time to allow\nthe disappointment to show Itself on\nmy face the crowd behind me sud-,\ndenly surged forward. \"Stand back!\"\nTwo rather nervous and very young\nadjutants in uniform. Half a dozen\nquick, energetic strides, and M.\nKerensky Is beside me. His face\nhas an almost deathly pallor, his eyes\nare tired with an expression of infinite suffering, but the mouth is as\nfirm as a rock, and the hair, cropped\nclose und worn en browse, gives somo\noutward idea ot\" that wonderful energy which is the peculiar gilt of the\nhero of tho Russian revolution. And\nhis energy is indeed of the miraculous. I am told to wait white, ono by\none, the crowd of petitioners is received, counselled, refused, rewarded,\nand sent, on its way with a speed that\ncomes only to the man who has to\nsee as many people in a day as there\nare minutes.\nA Luncheon Parly.\nAt luncheon, tho most simple of\nmeals, besides about thirty Russians\nof all sorts und conditions there are\nalso present tho threo French Socialists, Monte, Lafont and Cachan.\nIn spite of the government prohibition\nthere Is wino on the table, but tho\nhost himself is on a strict dlot and\ntouches nothing stronger than milk.\nHis talk is of the most brilliant description. All the enthusiasm of youth\nis there. And indeed ho hardly looks\nhis 3l> years. On his right hand there\nis a groat, brawny-armed sailor' from\nthe sailors' committee of the Baltic\nfleet, and every tinio M. Kerensky refers to his favorite theme of \"believe\nin the common sense of tho Russian\npeople\" he points to the sailor as if to\nillustrate his argument. He turns to\nme with a smile: \"How would Lloyd\nGeorge like it If a Russian were to\ncomo to him to tell him how to manage tho English people. Believe me,\nwe may not know, much, but we do\nknow our own -people.\" His onthus-\nlasm Is infectious, his pride in the revolution unbounded.'! \"Wc are only doing what you havo done centuries ago,\nonly wo aro trying to do It better\u2014\nwith the Napoleon and the Cromwell.\"\nToday tiie ydung lawyer has\nchanged the working-man's jacket ho\naffected during thoso early days for\nthe uniform. His' ideas, too, have\nchanged with the- force of circumstances. 'His faith in tho common\nsense of the Russian people lias been\nseverely shaken, and the man who\nabolished capital punishment hns boon\nforced to restore it, But his ideals\nremain the same. They havo been\nmodified, not abandoned.\n\"A Mad Idealist.\"\n\"People call mo a mad idealist, but\nthank God for the idealists in this\nworld.\" Por, in spite of all hts energy, Alexander Feodorovituh is essentially an idealist. From the day he\nleft the University of Petrograd to enter upon ids legar career ho has never once put his material prospects before his political beliefs. Ho might\nhave made a largo fortune as a lawyer. Instead, he preferred to spend\nhis ttmo in defending the oppresses\"\nand unjustly accused prisoners ln tho\nfamous political trials which stained\ntho tecords of tha Russian tribunals\nunder the old regime. His gospel Is\nthe gospel of suffering, and in all his\nshort and active life he has never\nspared himself. \"Nothing is worth\nliving for which is not worth dying\nfor.\" \"Grent deaths beget great chil\ndren.\" \"Great privileges also demand\ngreat duties.\" And then the passionate rebuke: \"And you, comrades; \"Who\nhave suffered for 10 years *n silent*.\nwho havd carried out all the commands of the hated old regime, who\nhave shot down your own people when\nthe government demanded, now, when\nyou have wbn your liberty'\u2014now, you\ncannot hold out a little longer. Is\nthen, the free state of Russia nothing\nbut a band of revolted slaves?\"\nA Symbol of Russia's Agony\nThese are some of the fragments\ntaken nt random from his great\nspeeches before the Russian offensive,\nIt Is his own gospel, and combined\nwith his wonderful powers of oratory,\nIt,is the chief secret of his success.\nFor when ho speaks ln that raucous\nvoice of his, worn hoarse by incessant\nshouting to recalcitrant soldiers and\nsuspicious workmen, the effect is\ngreater than the silvery tones of the\nmost polished professional orator,\n1 have heard practically all the great\nRussian orators of today, but not even\nM. Maklakoff, the great cadet barrister, can sway his audience as M. Kerensky dominates his, The effect is\nmagical even on a foreigner, but on a\n\u25a0Russian at this hour of crisis, It is all\ncompelling. That harsh whisper, the\npale white color of that sdnken face,\nthe long pauses to gather fresh\nstrength for the sharp, incisive phrases\nthat sting almost like a lash, the\nswaying body that twists and gasps\nfor breath and fiually falls limp and\nexhausted to the ground. . Is it not\n^yinholicnl of \/that \u25a0supremo agony\nthrough which Russia herself Is passing? \"I have come to make my supreme appeal because I am at the end\nof my strength.\" And the enormous\ncrowd in tho opera house in Moscow\nin June knows that it-Is true, feels\nthat it is Russia herself who is talking to them. One man whispers to\nanother: \"He has only ono kidney,\"\nand admiration swells for this man\nwho Is faced with the Herculean task\nof carrying through a revolution and\na world-wur at the same time, and\nwho in a country where energy is\nconspicuously lacking can. in spite of\na shattered health, work 19 hours in\nthe 24.\"\nNo Sympathy With Germans\nAn ardent patriot, M. Kerensky has\nno sympathy with Germany or with\nGerman methods of government. The\nGermans have soon recognized in him\nan Implacable foe by trying to frighten the Russian public with the spectre of Napoleon. English and French\nideals he has always admired, but, as\nhe has not traveled and speaks only\na little French, his knowledge of these\ntwo countries is gained entirety from\nreading. Ho has, however, under circumstances of great difficulty, been a\nstaunch supporter of tho entente, and\nhas done moro than any living man to\nInstil into the minds of tho Russian\npeople the necessity of continuing thu\nwar. His enemios are numerous and\nhe is in danger of assassination both\nfrom the extremists of tho Right and\nthe extremists of the Left. But not\neven his fiercest denunciation can deny his personal courage. In. the thousand, and ono. problems which he has\nto setllo dully\u2014for in spite, I think,\nof M. Kerensky himself, the revolution .and fear of counter-rovolutlon\ncome first and the war. second in all\npolitical consideration in Russia today\u2014he has shown a firmness of grasp\nwhich makes tho doubt whothor Russia has any man more capable of carrying her through the grim crisiB.\nAt the present moment M. Kerensky is dealing with the greatest crisis\nin his career, oh the issuo of which\nwill depend, to a, largo oxtent, his future place in history. In his conflict\nwith Korniloff ho has been blamed\nby many for not accepting more\nquickly tho general proposals for the\nrestoration of discipline. It Is a most\nunfortunate situation, fraught with\ntho gravest consequences. At the present moment, ono can only say, with\nTho Times, that both men are patriots\nwhose anxiety to savo their country\nIn their first thought. They differ only in the question of ways and means.\nAnd m this lies the tragedy of fho\nWholo situation.\nT. H. B\u201e in the London Daily Mail.\nGOLFER'S POSITION       .    v\nin modern Armies\nThere are many novelties about\ncamp life, and it takes one some time\nto become reconciled to the change of\nconditions; but there is one thing certain and it is this: This new order\nof things holds out less hardships for\nthe golfer than for men not accustomed to outdoor life in any way, says\nFrancis Quimct, who is now a soldier\nin tho United Slates army. The man\nhas beon used to Indoors welcomes a\nchange, but he must make up his mind\nto adapt himself to the new conditions,\nA man who has known a life on the\nlinks falls into tho general idea of\nmilitary training much more quickly.\nThere are many golfers in the various camps, and the one where I am\nlocated is no exception. A good many\nhave asked me whether I am going to\ngive up the game now thatl I am in\ntbe army. This is something they\ncould answer almost as readily as I\ncan,\nIn tiie first place, I am now working for Uncle Sam, and ho must bo\nconsidered first In everything. If the\nchance to play golf comes to me I wilt\nnaturally take it, as once a golfer, always n golfer, and it would be a pleasant recreation for me to hundlo, the\nclubs occasionally, . There Is .another\ntiling to consider and that is that the\ngolf season Is waning and it will not\nbo long before it will be too cold to\nplay with comfort. If I didn't see my\nclubs again until next spring, I would\nnot be sorry, as I have played con\nsiderablc golf during the past, two\nmonths and one can become tired, even\nof golf.\nLayoff Beneficial\nIt does everyone good to drop golf\nfor a while. Most of the crack players prefer to forget the game lor the\ngreater part of the winter, and they\nusually go back to their favorite past-\ntime in the spring with renewed enthusiasm. The result is that they are\nable to play more consistently through\nthe summer months than if thoy were\nsurfeited with golf all winter lung.\nFor a golfer who is badly off of his\ngame, my best advice is to drop it for\na while and when he picks it up again\ntho chances nre lie will forget tbe\ntroubles he had when he was playing\nbadly. He will come back to his old\nstride much more speedily than if he\nworried nit winter long playing over\nrough courses in the snow and Ice.\nThe golfer adopt* himself to march\ning much more readily than the rook\nies who have never played tbe game.\nSomeone started tho story that I likely\nwould be rejected on account of flat\nfeet. Traveling over 3(1 holes a day,\nwhere one must cover about 10 miles\n1 -, - ,\t\nof actual ground, would disprdve this\ntheory and I would hate to offer it as\nan excuse, -,\nThis reminds me of the story of the\nyoung man who was rejected for this\nsame reason.

As\nearly as 1611, Chapman, in his translation of the sixth book of the Odyssey, makes Nnusieau and her girls play\nMtoolbnll.\nThe queen    now,    for    the    upstroke,\nstruck the ball\nQuite  wide  of  th'  other maids,  and\nmade it fall\nAmidst the whirlpools,\nthereby, doubtless, says Laug, scoring\na lost ball. As usually played, he explains, a square board on a pole serves\nin placo of the original stoot ns a\nwicket much as if one bowled at tho\ntelegraph instead of the stumps, Consequently, as at; baseball, only full\npitches can be tossed. However, he\nadds, In stoolball we recognize the unconscious beginnings of better things.\nMajor CJranthum, who organised the\nmatch in aid of a fund for providing\nstoolball outfits for all military am.\nnaval hospitals, is an enthusiastic believer in the game as a form of exercise, stimulating enough without being too violent, for men who have been\nshattered In or dy and nerve.\nThe rules are very similar to those\nwhich govern cricket. The bat may\nnot be morp than 7% inches wide. The\nbnll generally used is of solid' rubber.\nThe wicket Is a board one foot square,\nmounted on a stake, tho top of the\nhoard being four feet, eight inches\nabove the ground. Tne wickets nre\npitched 16 yards apart, and the bowling crease Is 10 yards from onch wicket and not more than one yard long.\nUnderhand bowling only is allowed.\nThore are 10 balls to the over and\nstumping is not recognized.\n|-4] HttHlMSa I \u00bb\u2022\"\u2022.\u25a0\u2022\u25a0>\u2022 -t- S>\nYES!

B. Godfrey ot the Y. M.\nC. A. The suggestion is for the en\nclosure oi wax coated maple leaves ia\nthe Christmas hamper. An abundance\nof Canada's national emblem is to be\nfound in the Kootenay district and by\na happy thought someone who has\n\"Soulier hoy\" hi thn trenches last year\nthought of the plan of enclosing In tin\nChristmas cheer box a few of the beautifully tinted leaves strewn about thi1\n.a wus and streets.\nThe preservation of the leaves during the long trip to Flanders was\nthought out by a simple and Ingenious\nmethod. The most brilliantly t In ted\nand largest leaves wero gathered together, Common paraflne wax was obtained and melted in a pan on tne\nstove. Then the leaves wore dipped,\nono at a time, into the hot liquid und\nallowed to cool. They were then ready\nio be placed on the top of the hamper\nwhere the natural tint of the emblem\nof Canada, would first greet \"his\"\ngazewhen he opcnpil the remembrance\nfrom the land of the .Maple Loaf.\nThe plan worked splendidly and\nmany of those In Nelson and district\nlast year received letters fro lite\nboys at the front remarking on the\ntouch of pride they had felt on opening their \"goodie\" box and finding on\ntup tne emolem of Canada, their native land.\nOnly Two Days More to Get  Your\nOil Painting\nTHIS   OFFER   POSITIVELY   CLOSES   WEDNESDAY EVENING\u2014ALL SALES SLIPS MUST  BE  IN\nBEFORE   SIX   O'CLOCK   WEDNESDAY    EVENING,    OCTOBER    31\n12x20   PAINTING   WITH   $10.00   PURCHASE 18x34   PAINTING   WITH   $20.00   PURCHASE\nExtra Special in Seasonable\nCoats for Ladies, $29.50\nGOOD HEAVY WINTER COATS\u2014In Fancy Tweeds, Salts Plush, etc.;\nsome hnlf lined, others fully lined; some of our best lines; OOQ Clj\nmade in the latest styles.

B. Annable was appointed\nr-halrman of the committee. H. E. Dill\nwas chosen to act as publicity officer.\nOther members of the committee wero\nappointed as follows: J. A. Irving, T.\nL, Bloomer, Chief Guthrie, Alex Leith,\n\"?. F. McHardy, W. J. Meagher, Judge\nJ. A. Forin and one to be chosen from\n\"he members of the local trades and\nlabor council. The committee will have\npower to add to its numbers.\nAppeal to People.\nOn introduction by the mayor, Mr.\nMacaulay briefly outlined tho need c\nivery assistance being given the new\nIssue about to be placed on sale. The\nippeal, he said, was being made more\ndirectly to the people of Canada than\nto the.tolg financial interests. To a\nlarge extent the whole matter of placing the bonds on the market waa being done by tho voluntary assistance\nof business men and citizens. The finance minister bad surrounded himself with a committee to assist In the\nchoosing of provincial committees who\nIn turn were sending out organizers\nthrough their respective provinces.\nThe organizers wore paid only their\nout-of-pocket money, the speaker said.\n.The! time was given voluntarily and\nin this province they were for the most\npart 'business men in Vancouver. In\nthis way the spirit of the whole matter\nwas one of service toward the end of\ngetting money so that Canada can help\nto win the war.\nActual  Expenses Allowed.\nThe local committee, he continued,\nwould be allowed actual expenses by\nthe provincial organization. This\namount, however, \"did not include advertising, as lhat was being dono by\nthe committee in Ottawa. Expenses\nwould be allowed for 'he rental of\nquarters in the city during the campaign. The organizer intimated, nevertheless, that if these quarters were\nobtained without charge it would be\nso much better. An amount would also\nbe allowed for the services of a stenographer if this were thought necessary In the eyes of the committee.\nSolicitors could be promised a commission of one-half of 1 per cent If\nthe committee so desired. In this case\nit would be imperative for the chairman to notify the provincial committee\nand the Vancouver executive would\nfirst supply the local with a card to\ngive the canvasser authorizing him to\nsolicit subscriptions.\nMr. Macaulay explained that it\nwould be impossible for him to visit all\nof the neighboring district places and\nhe would be inclined to suggest that\nthe Nolson committee assist in organizing In near districts not conflicting\nwith Kaslo and New Denver. In this\ncase the actual out-of-pocket expenses\nof the local committee would be paid\nby tho Vancouver office.\nNow Negotiating Details.\nThere were details, some of which\nwere very important, he said, which\nhad not yet been decided upon. These\nwould all be made clear before the\nbonds were placed on the market during the week of Nov. 22.\nThe most Important detail which\nmeant a convincing argument towards\nthe purchase of the loan was the matter of the banks allowing advances on\nthe bonds at' the same or near same\ninterest as the bonds were drawing.\nThis most important detail was now\nbeing taken up with tiie banks of tho\ncountry and would be definitely announced prior to Nov. 22.\nThe local committee will commence\nwork Immediately and steps will be\ntaken to make a record for the Nolson\ndistrict, It was stated by one of tho\nmembers of the committee yesterday\nafternoon. In speaking of the organization In the city, Mr. Macaulay at\nthe Hume i4aid: \"I am very much\ngratified with the spirit shown at the\nmeeting this afternoon and I havo no\ndoubt that Nelson district will do its\nshare in connection with this big is-\n10 NAME DELEGATES\nCity of Nelson\nNotice\nDeclarations as Householders and License Holders must bo filed with\nthe City Clerk during the month of Ootober, but no declarations can be\nreceived after 5 o'clock p.m. of Octobor 31st.\nThe City Clerk will attend at his office on the evening of Ootober 30th\nat 8 o'clock p.m. for the convenience of any who have not had an opportunity of taking their declarations during office hours.\nWOVALOID\nWE   HAVE   EXCLUSIVE  8ALE  OF  THIS\nBE8T  QUALITY   RUBBER   ROOFING\nWs) Querents.

The Conservative association was named because\nit was the only association which from\nthe commencement had supported the\nUnion government ond Win-the-War\nconscription policy. Hence it was\nask'd to call the local meetings in\nvarious centres, but to make It clear\nthat all who Intend to support the\nUnion government candidate were\ncordially invited to attend without re-\nsnect to former political affiliations.\nMr. Blackwood's announcement, which\nappea\"s in the advertising columns,\nissues this invitation.\nA.
