William F. Massey, i Prime Minister of New Zealand, Both Political and Religious London Times Analyzes the Austro- Russian Controversy The London Times says: \"Russian interests in Servia are at once political and religious. Most of the Serb Orthodox churches in old Servia, Bosnia and Herzegovina were built with Russian money. \"The political interest of Russia in Servian independence lies mainly in the fact that Servia stands athwart the Austro-Hun- garian line of advance toward Salonika, and is a bulwark of independence for the Balkan peninsula. ' 'The aim of the house of Haps- burg constantly has been to obtain political hegemony in the Balkans by extending its political influence, and by subsidizing tiie Catholic propaganda at the expense of the Orthodox churches. \"The question of Servia, however, is not the only point at issue between Russia and the dual monarchy. The Ruthene, or Little Russian question is equallyiformidable. Twenty-five million Ruthenians, or Little Russians, live in the southwest provinces of Russia, and 4,500,- 000 Little Russians on the line of Galicia and Northeastern Hungary. \"A majority of these Austro- Hungarian Little Russians are members of the Greek United Church, a church orthodox in its rites, but Catholic ,in its allegiance to the government. \"Vienna has, during recent years, encouraged the Greek United propaganda among the Little Russians in Hungary and Austria. \"Thecontest is one of political day last.

Vancouver Office - - 317-323 Carabie St. \"Dalits papuli flitprema ?st lex.\" SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1914. Unprecedented Situation. -For the past century Europe has enjoyed comparative peace. True, there have been wars between individual nations, but none in which the whole continent has been involved, and certainly none \" fraught with the tremendous consequences which must result from the general conflict which is proceeding at the present time. Never in the world's history have the opposing forces been of such stupendous proportions or so thoroughly trained or equipped for the purposes of destruction. The forces of the Triple Alliance, with Bulgaria, total approximately nine million men, while Russia, France, Great 'Britain, and their allies can put more than eleven million men in action. While the Triple Entente has the greater number of fighting men, this advantage is offset by the advantage of concentration possessed by the Germanic-Italian federation, and the most confident of the nations concerned cannot Jbut regard the outcome with both doubt and alarm. There is one respect, however, in which the Triple Alliance will be seriously handicapped, and that is in ability to stand the financial strain of a prolonged warl Germany is the only one partner in the Alliance whose national wealth equals that of either of the three partners in the Triple Entente. France and Great Britain are the richest countries in the world, excepting perhaps the United States. Russia also, is capable of prolonging hostilities long . after the resources of such nations as Italy and Austria are exhausted. With France, it is a matter of her very existence as a nation. It is well remembered how, after the Franco-Prussian war, Germany was minded to utterly destroy France as a nation, and was only prevented from carrying that intention into effect by the unanimous protest of the other European nations. There is good reason to fear, however, that should a similar situation arise Germany might not be so easily restrained. One of the articles in the compact of the Triple Alliance is to the effect that in the event of a war, conquered territory should be divided amongst the signa tories. Were this to be carried out it is plain to see that the consequences to France and possibly to Great Britain in case of defeat would be disastrous. Well may we hope that even at this late moment some way may present itself to the minds of the greatEuropean diplomats, whereby peace may be restored and a world-wide calamity averted. o o. o o o A United Empire. Only a matter of a fews days ago Great Britain was boiling- lover with political strife. The Home Rule controyersey seemed to threaten civil war. Today in the face of the fact that she has been forced to take an active part in tne great struggle, all internal dissensions are hushed and the whole British nation stands united. Great Britain is an Empire first, and after that an insular community, with its own domestic problems. The blast of war js ringing in the ears of the British people, and we shall hear no more about Home Rule or any other local controversy until accounts have been settled with friend or foe abroad. This is the real secret of Britain's greatness, that the British people are one when they need to be one', and it has been already proven that this is true of the British over the seas as well as those of the home land. o . o o o o Servia is a land of social equality, says the New York American. It has no aristocracy or middle class. Its officials are peasants in gold braid. Its people live well with little work. In 1900 it is said there was neither pauper nor workhouse in the country. Servians would rather talk politics and recite poetry than drink. What they like best are the singsong poems that tell of their national heroes. \"Every true Serb lives as much in the past as in the present.\" The greatest patriotic outburst thathas shaken the nation in recent years was passionate resentment toward Austria-Hungary in 1908, when that country's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina waked Servia from the dream of a great union of all the Serbs. The \"Unspeakable Turk\" is about the only European ruler whose voice has not been heard in the intertational battle song. A European war without Turkey being the principal or aiding and abetting is something unprecedented. o o o o o According to Sir Felix Schuster, the eminent London financial authority, France, Germany and Russia have during;the last year increased their accumulation of gold by sixty million pounds. These vast additions to the reserves were in no way due to commercial or financial conditions but were the result of a deliberate policy. ' The three chief militarist powers of Europe while increasing their armies, have been filling up their war chests. o o o o o The miracleof wireless telegraphy, which had already conquered the air and the water, now penetrates the bowels of the earth. German scientists by this all- pervading medium have not only located subterranean spring and ore deposits, but ascertained their depth. Moreover, miners working 1000 feet below the service have received wireless messages from a point a mile and a half away on the same level. There is an evident future of immense value to the mining industry in this discovery, for mineral wealth discoverable by no other means will be revealed to man. And with wireless equipment in mine pits, communication with entombed miners j will be possible in case of disaster and the work of rescue made easier, besides cheering the prisoners with messages from home and friends. The discovery means not a little to British Columbia where only a tithe of its hidden treasures have yet been revealed. o o o o o Be sure you are right, but don't be too sure that everybody else is wrong.

Sobriety Grows. But there is no question whatever that it is too late in the world's history for any man to drink freely, and all employers, commercial and governmental, are increasingly opposed to men who drink at all. Several ships in the British navy are \"dry\" and there is some expectations of a general order to that effect. All alcoholic drinks have been barred from the Norwegian navy. The Kaiser is not drinking anything now and his commended total abstinence to tk naval cadets,, telling them that the next war would be won bj the nation which drank the least.

MONTREAL WINNIPEG VANCOUVER ^ C. P. R. Must JProvide Six Millions Monthly On the fifteenth of each month the C. P. R. will pay in wages over the whole system $6,000,000. This is the monthly record in round numbers, 120,000 cheques being drawn every month. It seems only the day before yesterday when 50,000 cheques were deemed to represent a tremendous monthly wage list. The number of employees grows all the time, in spite of careful appointment and economic working. These monthly cheques find their way into the most distant, the oddest places. They are hurried, in enclosures, to the most distant parts of British Columbia. They find their way to the construction camps, removed from civilization. They reach the employees at the wayside station, showing a single tuft of grass amid the general aridity. And, however lonely or small or discouraging the locality or district, there will be someone there to cash the cheque for the employee. There may be a bank in a tent, which is very frequently the fact. If there is no bank there is a company's agent of some kind to whom the cheques will be addressed and who will distribute them to the men in the district. To make out the pay lists and check them, and control them, and issue the cheques to correspond to the book-keeping and get the work so advanced as to have all things ready at the right date, on the stroke of the clock, requires a large staff at headquarters. And whether the times be good or bad, the figures rising or falling, the $6,000,000 have to.be pro- To Sell Logged-Off Lands Wilson Creek, B.

Colonial Secretary's Duties. Mr. Lewis Harcourt presided at a meeting of the International Congress on Tropical Agriculture in London recently and spoke principally on the question of cotton-growing in the British colonies and protectorates, but especially on modern functions of the Colonial Office. Reviewing the work done by the Colonial Office, Mr. Harcourt added: \"In these days the Colonial Office has more the attributes of an immense trading and administrative concern than those of earlier days, when it was a mere machine of government. My days and nights are spent in the study of medicine, in the details of railway construction, with a desire that the smallest sum of money may lay the largest number of miles of tracks in the fewest possible days.

It embraces Russia, France and England. .The details of the Triple Entente have never been made public, but it is accepted as certain that France and Russia are absolutely bound in an offensive and defensive alliance. Just how firmly England is bound is, not known. Spain has become a party to this agreement, butto what extent is conjectural. For Balkan reasons Greece and Rumania will support Servia as against Austria. Russia's support of Servia is a part of the Pan-Slavic programme as against the Pan-Germanic expansion plans.

' It was formerly the Dual Alliance entered into in 1879, when Germany and Austria pledged themselves to joint action should either be assailed by Russia, and to neutrality should either be assailed by another power. In 1883 Italy was admitted into the Dual Alliance and it became the Triple Alliance. The treaty provides that should Russia assist any nation at war with any of the signatories to the treaty the other signatories must come to assistance. The treaty is very specific in its terms and provides for a division of all territory acquired in a victorious war. Under this treaty the Triple Alliance must back Austria should Russia come to the assistance of Servia. In addition to the Triple Alliance powers, Bulgaria, for Balkan political reasons, will support Austria. Austria's Reason for Causing War of 9 Mackay Smith, Blair & Co. Ltd. VANCOUVER, B.C.

The response of Servia was considered by the foreign office in Vienna as unsatisfactory, and in a semi-official communication made public, the Austrian government said that the reply was filled with the spirit of. dishonesty.
