Davis & Leslie.^ consulting engineers to the Xorth Fraser liar- be ,r Commissioners, expressed himself entirely satisfied with the engineering conditions connected with the project, and was most enthusiastic regarding future prospects. lie said, however, that from what he hail heard occasionally it would appear that the main objects of the scheme was not entirely understood by everyone. Briefly, he stated, the intention is by dredging and controling opera- tiems tei convert the entire length of the Xorth Arm into a ship canal capable of handling ocean-going steamships, and of providing wharf acom- modations with the latest modern facilities of every description, wherever the demand for such arises, and the natural condition* lend themselves to the purpose.

It will also include, of course, ample rail connections. The complete scheme as outlined hy the engineers, would be a very large one, and when completed woulil constitute the establishment of a port second to none on the Pacific Coast. Work of this magnitude cannot, fi course, be approached at the outset as a whole. Such a port can only be built up hy instalments, as has been done in the case of other large ports all over the world. It is the intention to commence operations with the dredging sufficient to afford access to ocean-going vessels with a channel wide enough for (Continued on page 31 Mrs. Manihly ami Mrs. Mclntyre represented the Ceelar Ceittage Political Equality League at a meeting ..n Monday ol the Central Parliamentary Committee ol Suffrage Societies, and agreed with othei delegates present to undertake the furnishing ol curtains ami he-el spre-.nls as tiie contribution of ihe Suffrage- Societies to the lining up fi the home for girls out of employment, which will be opened next month. ��� ��� �� That busy bird, the stork, t'e.ek lime la-i week 1.' leave Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

"The truth at all times firmly stands And shall from age to age endure." IS BRITISH COLUMBIA BANKRUPT SIR RICHARD McBRIDE has been successful in raising $ft.(XX),000 so that work on the building of the Pacific and Great Eastern Railway may proceed. He was forced to act as fiscal agent for tbe company owning this road because tbe company could rfot sell one dollar's worth of its bonds���though the bonds were guaranteed hy the Government of Hritish Columbia; though each bond virtually bore thc endorsement of every mail in the Province; though each bond was bached up by every foot of land in the Province. ,;; jf, # I' I In other words, liritish Columbia, and all that is within liritish Columbia, is not worth today in the eyes of the financiers of the world six million dollars. Sir Richard got the $6,000,000 for Messrs. Foley, Welsh and Stewart (owners of the P. G. & E.) through the good offices of the Dominion Government. Villi the money came from the Union Hank. It is likely, therefore, that recent amendments to the Canadian Rank Act were taken advantage of. These amendments' provided that in the event of tbe bank refusing to loan money on certain securities, these securities may be placed before the .Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canada. If the securities are considered good by that officer, the bank may be authorized to advance the needed money, under tbe guarantee of the Dominion Government. If this conjecture is well based and we have no statement from any official source to the contrary, then the I'. G. & E. work will go forward because of the stability of .Alberta. Manitoba, Ontario and tbe other Provinces as expressed through the Dominion Government. Sir Richard McBride bas made Hritish Columbia the Weak Sister of Confederation. If tbe Province of liritish Columbia is broke is it any wonder tbat widows wee]) in the shadow of ibe gilded entrances to defunct trust companies? If British Columbia is broke is ii any wonder that from the cottages ni mir workers comes tbe awful wail of the unemployed ? many. . < If this a singular instance fell under ray own observation.

Tbe Italian Government has just placed an order with a l'nited States firm for $5,000,000 worth of saddles, boots and other leather goods. The Australian Government has just placed an order in the l'nited States for a huge consignment of steel rails. All these goods could have been made quite as quickly and as cheaply and of equal quality in Canada. This question suggests itself���Is the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa doing anything or nothing to guide orders from friendly or allied Governments into Canadian channels?���Montreal Herald and The Daily Telegraph, September 26, 1914. w AR FASCINATIONS OF WAR las its own fascinations, illusions ami satis- w THE NAVY E depend upon the navy, say- the Edinburgh Review." to keep our shores inviolate from the footstep of the invader. The rugged writer of five hundred years ago who likened England to a, city and tiie sea to its wall; Shakespeare in a passage of rare beauty; liacon in a classic phrase; Raleigh in sounding words; Hawke, Howe, Jarvis and Nelson by their acts, and the unbroken record of nearly a thousand years, place tlle matter beyond the question nf reasonable men. BY THE WAY Till-: VANCOUVER "PROVINCE" is going to the bail. Three lengthy editorials were printed October ''h e headlines o f the leaders were: Limit. Dr. Cbown avonet- iroken but before La uneler iccaiise of MERELY A REFLECTION AT Waterloo, the power of Napoleon was for ever crushed. What if tbe battle batl resulted in bis favor ? The Old Guard would never have been for the English, Irish and Scotch ba Belle Alliance. History tells ns that tbe stupid Prussian Blucher were ol" value at Waterloo only 1 their brute force and their numbers. If the Old Guard had not been broken, what ven- gance the Corsican wouhl have wrought upon his treacherous Austrian father-in-law: He would have annihilated Blucher and his Uhlans, wh.. after the battle, while the British and lhe Russians kept within their lines, committed , lepra, Ial ions in and aboul the Cily of Paris which, history tells us. were more hideous than those committed by tbe Kaiser Wllhelm's forces in Belgium wil bin the past few months. It was tlle slime of lhe battle field of Water!,,,, which gave sustenance to the eyeless demon which through a hundred years bas evolved into the Kaiser- ism of today. h AFTER WATERLOO OL'TRAGES committed by the German soldicrv in Belgium are quite in line witb the traditions of Prussian militarism. After Waterloo the Prussians engaged in a carnival of murder and pillage. De liourienue, a former secretary to Napoleon, writing shortly after Waterloo, refers to the lust of Bluch- er's soldiers. "Taking advantage of this communicative disposition," writes Bourienne in his 'Memoirs of Xapoleon the Great.' "I made some remarks to Blucher on the excesses committed by his troops. 'What would you have me do? I cannot have an eye everywhere, but I assure you for the future, on your recommendation I shall cause to be punished severely all disorders that fall under my notice,' said Blucher when complaint was made. Spite of these fine promises, however, his troops continued to give themselves up to the most revolting excesses. The Prussian troops have, consequently, left in the environs of Paris a remembrance as that which is retained of Davottt's corps in Ger- factions. otherwise men would not go to war so readily as they do. It is not all a matter of cold-blooded slaughter. Of the several millions of men now under arms in Europe, each waiting for his opportunity to kill or be killed, the great majority are fighting for no personal reason. It is safe to say tbat of the small minority who could give an intelligent reason why they are fighting, most of them learned the reason since, not before, they went to war. They were not consulted about the war at all. Most of those who are killing each other with such zest have no quarrel with the men they are killing. Under normal conditions their instincts would lead thein to help rather than to I barbel injure. But the spirit of war changes all a man's notions of social relationship. The man with whom yon would have shared your crust and your sympathy today as a fellow mortal becomes tomorrow .an enemy to be killed at sight, not only without pity, bul with ,a certain clement of relish and satisfaction, not because he has done anything tee earn your haired but in-t because war is what it is. Fritz Krisler is nne of tbe world's greatest violinists, the world's greatest in tbe opinion of sonic. I le is described as tbe most refined of artists and the kindest of men. lie was preparing'fnr another tour nf the world when tbe war broke nut. lie joined Ids Austrian regiment at once and wenl In lhe front. I le -aw some bard service ai Lemberg, ami vvas finally sent to the hospital with an injured leg, having been run over in a charge by some Cossacks, lie has given the world some of bis impressions anil experiences. The moment he put the uniform on, he says, all that was artist in him was swept away, lie felt the soldier all over. Tbe man whose mission and privilege it was to charm the world with the witchery of his art, went forth rejoicing to the work nf slaughter. "More beautiful antl thrilling music I have never heard," he writes, "than the hurrahs of the troops at the moment when the) broke through Ihe lilies of the enemy. . . ben one fights in tbe midst nf such troops, all souls elated by the same entbiiiasm, ami when one daily witnesses such examples nf self-sacrificing heroism, one feels rejuvenated and invigorated." Apparently it mattered not tn Krisler that history would bold bis country responsible for having precipitated the greatest calamity thai ever afflicted the world. Ile bad nothing to dn with cause-- or conse- quences. As a soldier it was his duty to tight when somebody gave ihe command, and as a soldier he could give himself up to tbe elemental emotions arons- eel by tiie conflict without any reference to questions ��� if right or wrong.

Don't Delay Your Dental Work��� 4679 Delavs in anything are extremely dangerous; particularly so in dental work. By not having tbat tooth attended to at once, you are sure to suffer for it later on. A decayed tooth should be removed or treated and filled now, for if you delay it is bound to get worse and will affect the teeth adjoining it. Not only this, but if you lose your teeth by not attending to them, it will be necessary for you to have artificial ones made, and no dentist yet has been able to make teeth better than nature. A little attention now will save you teeth, worry and money. Dr. Hall makes all examinations free of charge, and will tell you the exact condition of your teeth.

However, I read 'The Last Conflict1 with a different feeling. The scenes described are within the realms eef possibility, and the flying machine, I sincerely believe, will perform an important part In hastening the ;nl- vi'iii of universal disarmament.] ON ihe "Hermanus" the monoplane launching apparatus was eei an old pattern, Inn ii had been repeatedly tested with such uniformly good results that it had met been superseded by a newer device, It consisted of a pair of parallel steel tracks jutting out over the >tcrn e.f the German warship em which the.' wheels of the launching truck ran until the monoplane slipped uff intn die- air. Tin monoplane itself was tti tin latest design, an electrically propelled Bierstadt, ami the operator was one eef llii-rslaelt's own pupils, one Krementz, a Bavarian who had taken the Imperial gold medal at last year's bomb-dropping contest at Kiel, with a record e,f forty-six out oi a possible lifly bull's-eyes while flying at the rate of fifty miles per hour, Krementz, dark, phlegmatic but thin anel wiry, stood in lhe shadow nf the monoplane's vast wing when a sudden movement of the bridge of the warship caught his sombre eye. Ile stepped oul e.f the shade ami st 1 wailing. A iii'eiiieul later a yening officer with an eager and excited air breathlessly accosted him: "lleiniich. the leeiikeiul reports a large English ship 'iff lhe port quarter about ten miles away. Il's sure 1.1 be ihe 'Victoria!' " "Nothing else! Well, wc are ready f.er her," replied Krementz, "The order is, that ynu may get away at nnce!'' The monoplane's launching crow appeared as if by magic, each man taking his Station in silence. Krementz put nn his headpiece and gloves while nu tlle superstructure eiflicers came aft ami looked'down, The ship's spenl had imt lessened, but Krementz niiled that shc was turning tu port see thai the monoplane would face llle western breeze. In another moment lie had taken his seat and grasped the steering wheel. The RIO- me nt nf launching the giant monoplane with its deadly freightage of live hundred pounds of oliiiilc suspended Immediately beneath Kfe- inentz's feet in tlle shape of a four- fool bomb was always one of breath-* le'ss and excited interest to every man mi board, and general conversation was invariably suspended until the feat had heen accomplished, For thirty seconds the propeller whirled noiselessly/ then the wheels eef the truck began to revolve, and the machine, which had seemed pant of the ship's self before, slid out upon lhe tracks. As she ncared the end of the slim sieel structure il sank beneath her, and wilh a quick birdlike lift -the greal Hying machine soared aloft. An irrepressible cheer broke out from the throats nl tlle eleven hundred seamen and officers ��� ef ilu- "Hermanus." "Now we sehall see what the new theories are worth!" exclaimed tlie drunken Aduniral Vein Grottzen, without taking his bleary gray eyes frum iln- monoplane as sin circled aloft. Baron Greuze of lhe Naval Hoard, a young, portly, rosy-cheeked' 111:111, laughed as he replied: "Heretofore, my dear Admiral, it has heen theory but today il is practice, anil, look yem, we put now into practice lhe first rule of aerial warfare���we launch our machine before the enemy launches his!" "Well, we shall see whal we shall ~ee." replied the admiral. The "Hermanus" was now speeding ahead1 al some forty knots ail hour, while the monoplane, after making twee wide circles to gain height, was flying a half mile lo star- hoard somewhat in advance eif the warship and rapidly distancing her. After live minutes had passed Krementz was seen to turn In the southward, rising perhaps live hundred feet until the aluminum flyer resembled a gray gull sweeping into the strata of haze that stretched- across the sky. "Ila! It will lie all over before we get within vision, 1 am afraid," remarked the merry little baron, "lie sheeiild have waited for us!" "If he gets into the clouds lie will perhaps miss the Englishman. These birdmen cannot navigate by compass yel." added the admiral. "Perhaps that is his idea," suggested the baron, "lie may intend to steal upon them behind that gray curtain." The English warship suddenly flashed up into their visiem against a low-lying bank of neu'tral-tinted haze lhat clung to the horizon, a blue-white vessel, pyramidal in effect, a floating mountain eef solid steel. "The 'Victoria'' It is she!" sprang from the lips of many of the officers on the superstructure, and a number from the groups upon the gun decks I elow showed that even anion.; the crew ihe vessel had! been recognized'. "She is coning along at a fifty knot clip!" commented Captain Keller, approaching the admiral. "Can be liit her?" "II he eha-.s im! .: e shall have iomi work een our ha ids," remarked the baron. "She has sixteen thousand and twenty-one as three e,r four Still, I put my Krementz!" muttered the te.HS till Dettl 1 eel 11 biggei Kims as well hundred more men' ev 011 lleinrieh "A splendid ship admiral, gnawing his grizzled moustache as In- surveyed iln- oncoming ship ihrough his marine glasses. Afler a careful scrutiny he saiel: "Gentlemen, if Krementz gels her our occupation is genu-. Tin- gentle art eef mama warfare will languish anil vanish from off iln- earth ii one man can destroy ihat magnificent fabric!" "IK- cannot miss her!" eried the captain shrilly. "See! She is as steady- as a rock! There is no motion lee her stacks whatever! There In- is! Look!" At the instanl the monoplane appeared, sweeping down toward the "Victoria" in a gradual slant from a height eef some hundred feet. The eyes of every man was glued lo his glasses, and in all lhe ship not a voice broke wilh even a whisper the sudden hush. Xo sign came from thc English ship lo denote thai she had sighted iln dread terror that was hurtling down from ihe clouds upon her. From her twee rear stacks dense black streamers of sninkc were pouring, indicating a suddenly increased consumption eel nil fuel, but these wire al! of ilie evidences of life that she showed. "lie-in! They are see busy watching us that tliey see him not!" snap- peel the baron, as his voice disturbed tlie stillness like a sudden shot. Many of ihe officers bestowed queer stares upon lhe little noblemen, then nervously took up the tense watching. The captain leaned' far oul e.ver the bridge rail as if trying to project himself intei the coming event. The monoplane sped hawklike upon her prey, swooping without a dip or curve until it seemed to the straining eyes that she had overflown her mark; then, as she turned and flashed 1 gleam of silvery radiance from her wide wing, they saw a streak of light fall from her, a brief, sharp glint that a'lished in the inly smoke pouring from the "Victoria's" slacks like a gleaming feather from the breast of some ocean bird, and' then she darted aloft with incredible swiftness. The space of time that followed the falling of the bomb as indicated by a slop-watch in the hands of Lieutenant Kuichstcin was precisely two second's, hut il seemed minutes before llie appalling result followed. Tlie cameras snapped each feature as it developed but no two men could have agreed upon particulars. The ebony smoke was cut off as a ribbon is severed by the shears, then the "Victoria's" rear slack shot aloft three hundred feet into the air; the forward turret, witb a queer, lifelike action, turned over, apparently slowly, twice and plunged into the sea over tlle bow. Then a black chasm opened- amidships, a mass of disintegrated matter resembling charred straw or other fragmentary refuse, impossible lo identify, but which was, of course, the machinery, llie thirteen hundred men and the interior fittings of this matchless warship, was spewed upward from the crater, and a tower of cadmium-yellow smoke mounted audi began lee spread like an enormous palm at the tup. Its base clung tn the sea tor another instant, and lifting, revealed lhe crimson flag of England just sinking beneath the waves. There was a tense, breathless space of silence, and then there came thc roar of lhe explosion���or rather a series of mingled roars, six .shocks in all, and' a blast of air that shook the Hags and signals of the "I lermanus." ll seemed incredible, so swiftly anil completely hade the English ship been demolished, anil tlle glasses remained glued to many an eye for several seconds before tlle men looked at one another, No eme spoke. The baron after a space pointed a shaking forefinger, anil Keller, following the motion, observed Krementz making a vasi dvtour far to the neirthward. "Gotlt in lliminel! I had forgotten al! about the fellow!" lie growled. Two eif the photographers began hastily tei make preparations to repair tei the developing room. The admiral, with a face from which all color had vanished, stepped! toward Keller and parted liis lips lei speak, lips thai revealed that he was deeply moved. He seemed tc; lind difficulty in voicing his words and he Inhaled twice wilh evident efforl. The captain gazed at him curiously as if beholding some marvel. Suddenly from far aloft came a queer rasping yet hollow sound, not the throaty call of the lookout but an agonized1 anil 'horror-stricken shriek of alarm, inarticulate but replete, even in its echo along the metal sides of the turrets with choking fear. Every eye aboard was turned upward to behold the lookout, a grizzled Swa- bian seaman, holding his arms aloft and frantically waving them as he shrieked out Iiis cry of warning, and every eye followed' the lookout's startled gaze only to start in dismay and petrify into an icy horror. There, against the afternoon sky, perhaps three miles astern, hung an oblong blot, seemingly swinging motionless in the blue, yet every eye on that ship discerned that it was approaching with a speed that was sweeping death nearer every second ���a large aeroplane, larger than that of the "Hermanus," and even at that distance the missile wilh which it was freighted was plainly visible to the naked eye. a bright egg-shaped object suspended by invisible tackle beneath the dark plane. The admiral's shaggy brows lifted' as the utterance with which be bad been struggling formed into coherent speech. "Achl Gottfried, after all, the Englishman saw us first! That was launched before we sighted her!"

As ihe bomb fell the aeroplane veered sharply lo Starboard as 'if In meet Krementz in midair tn the south'. There was a period of absolute stillness, an appreciable pause during which the men drew breath. It seemed, in that swiftly passing instant ihat. after all. nothing had happened, yet in ihat twinkling of time everything had happened and the vast steel fabric of the "Hermanns" was disintegrating, dissolving, wilh anitm- ifold movement thai permitted many instinct phases to bc observed by different beholders who never recorded their observations, The three stacks twisted upward, writhing, contorted, and streamed a- lnft in black ribbons. This was all that Hanm Gretize beheld; Ile died watching this phenomenon* Keller saw lhe forward turret crumble like a dry ant hill, its gigantic twenty-four inch guns melting like wax in a fur- lie.n lhat it seemed as if giant but invisible hands were tearing at the vessel from many direction*. A gunner between decks, reeling toward a bulkhead fnr support, found' himself walking a narrow strip of steel with serrated edges like a tremendous saw, with an Infinity of bluish space sur- rieiiuding him and a yawning black chasm below, but before he had' taken a step he flew into nothingness. The entire stern quarters of the 'Hermanus" soared aloft, yet spitting out in every direction masses of men, metal, stores, and ammunition; again, as this hundred foot block of steel flew upward it, too, crumbled, as if in a crucible, and1 fell into fragments, yards away, into the boiling sea. A blast that was as if some monstrous, unseen scythe had mowed along the vessel, sheared away the superstructure, tilted it upward, twisted it into a tangle of steel hands and rods filled wiih breeding corpses and flung it far to starboard) yet nine men standing pursued. lie had fully expelled a long chase, and knowing his adversary to be armed had quickly decided to evad'e him by a flight intee the clouds that were mounting in the eastern sky, but already the Englishman had lost tiie opportunity of engaging the monoplane upon anything like equal terms.

"If he misses us lie will he in a peculiar predicament!" 11 was quite plain that the aviator was capable of following closely each sharp turn made by the warship; in fact, it was evident to many of the officers, who were themselves practically bird'men, (hat he had the ship at his mercy and was merely amusing himself before he delivered the coup de grace. Down among the crew men were muttering prayers, others cursed loudly, lifting aloft menacing lists in impotent threats. Others, as if frozen with terror, stared up at the destroyer in pallid silence. The ship turned and1 doubled, but the thing hung in her wake as the weasel clings to tlie trail of a hare. A sharp, (bin report rang out from thc lee of the after turret and a tall dark officer was seen to be carefully aiming a Mauser for a second shot, but before the third had echoed1 from the metal sides the aeroplane darted forward with inqreased speed. In three seconds its shadow fell upon the superstructure and moved alnng the ship's length at twice her velocity. As it enveloped' the narrowing forward deck in gloom the egg-shaped bomb was seen te> .slant down, a gleam of shimmering lighl from beneath the aviator's feet. Straight as an arrow from a bow it fell, growing larger tn the terrified eyes hclnw until a whistling was audible which grew into a moaning as lhe missile plunged into Ihe fifty-foot mid-ship smoke nace, and as he turned a dull, dazed' gaze upon Admiral Von Grottzen, -the left leg of that officer disappeared as if by magic. The captain, who himself felt no sensation and heard no sound as this amazing spectacle imprinted itself upon his senses, stared stupidly as the admiral fell to the deck and- was surrounded in an instant by a great spreading pool of crimson. Lieutenant Kleppermaii gaped in incredulous amazement as the heads of six men vanished., leaving their headless bodies standing, erect and' ticmbling, at the port rail, their blood spinning forth in regular jets. He also saw the forward deck split lengthwise, noiselessly, and curl up like a carpel, parting to right and left, and rolling up in two metal scrolls.
