The opinion Is held that the 'Germans plan somc mold stroke against Renncnkampf before the troops which Jhave btfen engaged Jn Galicia can reach him. If is pointed out, however, that it would be a bold stroke indeed for the Germans to attack the Russian forts on the frontier in view of the fact that the country within a few weeks wlll be a marsh and later a snow-covered wilderness. The Servians and Montenegrins continue their advance into Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Servians, It is said, have advanced 25 miles .beyond Semlin, so that In this event it Is evident thaj, little opposition is being offered them. probably Will Attack Warsaw.

"It Is Relieved the Germans have concentrated 75,000 men in Bast Prussia, a far greater number than ls required for a mere defensive movement As there would be little purpose tn attempting to drive the Russian general, Rennenkampf, out of his strong position at Kovno and venturing into the Interior, the object of tlie vast German concentration is probably an Invasion of Poland and an attempt to capture Moscow. "If this were attained it would not only safeguard East Prussia but would also divert a great portion of the Russian forces now operating in Galicia, tihus easing ithe pressure there."

A. .Tones. —King Albert yesterday motored out bf Antwerp to view the general situation and he declared himself well satisfied* His continued and active presence at the front has been the greatest factor in cheering the Belgian soldiers. Tho retirement of the main Belgian army into the cover of tho Antwerp forts has given the Germans an opportunity to move their forces in the direction of that city. Yesterday they were'said to bo In Wlllerbrocck, wliich had been occupied by the Belgians hitherto As it was reported yesterday from Antwerp there aro two contingencies which may occur, the retaking of Brussels or tho attempted capture of Antwerp. Events point to the latter but this fact should be borno In mind: that fact Is that I was told In Brussels by a high military authority that Gen. Brallmont built the Antwerp forts so well that lt would take LjOO.000 men to make a successful attack. I cannot see how tho Germans can take Antwerp with the 100,000-odd men I hey have at their command In Bel- glum. I met today several Belgians who fled from Brussels. They declare that the German attitude is dally becoming more hostile and they all expressed fear that on the first reverse the Germans will In mortification fire tho guns they have trained on the town. . They added that to the east, west, north and south deadly artillery Is trained on the houses and public buildings. "Brussels could be made another Louvaln in an hour," It was said to me.

SOISSONS, Sept. 1(1.—By G. H. Peiris—For the last three hours I havo been watching from tho hills to the south of this town that part of 'the almost unending and terrific struggle which may be isolated in history us the battle of Soissons. It has lasted for four days and only now can it be sttld that victory ls turning to the side of the allies. The town Itself cannot be entered for It 'Is still rnked by both artillery and rifle fire and great columns of smoke mark several points at which houseB aro burning. The centre of fighting lies wbere the British and French pontoon corps are trying to keep 'bridges they have succeeded ln throwing across .the river, for, of course, 'the old bridges in the town and up .and down stream were destroyed by the forces on their retreat southward a fortnight ago. ' This shambles, for it deserves the name, ls out of sight below the end of the plateau on which I am stand- lag, but the men who have come Straight from the front of the lino tell me the combat there Ila9 been 'a positive slaughter. They say the unremitting and desperate firing of those four days and nights put any- 'thlng In the South African wnr, or anything else In modern warfare they 'have heard of, 'altogether in the shade. Tho rlveicrosslngs are great objects on one side to take and on tho other to destroy. British Capture Guns. Ifenr some regiments which were the rlrst to get to the north banks of the Aisne suffered se"erely. Several crossings were effected Sunday but the bigger guns got the range and yesterday It became necessary to withdraw. Last night, .however, the 'allies were able to bring .up some heavy cannon and these were put to work. At an early hour this morn Ins, when the prospect began to change, several German batteries were seen moving backward but one or two others .'hidden in the woods could not bo exactly located until nn incident o! this morning's duel revealed them. The British had managed again to get a battery across the river and inlo position. Apparently the German artillery could not reach it from its hiding position aud It therefore moved to a better place. Under heavy fire the British had to retire, leaving six guns behind, but their assailants were not discovered. Under the protection 'of a heavy bombardment new Brit' ish batteries were got over and were planted at the bridge head. Soon the six guns had been recovered and the two Gorman batteries captured. French Make Crossing. On tho western side the French succeeded in getting a regiment and four guns over. I oan clearly trace the abandonment during the last three hours ot a number of German positions, for the smoke of their guns, great white bubbles Wihich fade away In less than a minute, are moving farther and farther away over the northern hills and the dull boom and sharp bangs grow slowly fainter. But oven the aviators, flying like great hawks overhead in British biplanes and French monoplanes, cannot see more than part, and that uncertainly, of the modern battlefield. From Vic sur Aisne on the west to Reims on the east Is nearly 60 miles and that is not tho full extent of the line that Is now being contested but the lie ot the land whioh makes Soissons so important a place also circumscribes an Individual view. But now that I have seen the landscape the whole affair is much more comprehensive. The hillside cloalng on the north, the Soissons gap Into which several southern valleys lead was evidently a position to sleze and hold it possible. It is said with great probability that on their southern march the Germans Btarted entrenching a stronghold here and that the big siege guns destined for Paris got this far and no farther. This is supposed to be bhe reason for the increasing fatalities in heavy artillery until today. JK'W British wounded are being sent todny to Paris. Several whom I have seen huve had their hands nnd 'faces stained a horrid1 yellow. 1 first tho.ught lt a peculiar form of jaundice but It IB the effect of lyddite shells which the Germans are using. -♦ * FRANK S.

IR.—A resume ot the findings of tlie Belgian commission of inquiry appointed by the king of the Belgians to investigate tho alleged atrocities committed by German troops, was made public today by the Belgian legation here after the report had been presented to President Wilson, A partial summary follows: "German cavalry, occupying the village of Liivsmeau were attacked by some Belgian troops and two gendarmes. A German officer was kilted by the Belgian soldiers during bhe fight. None of tiie civilians had taken part in the fight nevertheless the village was invaded at dusk on Aug. 10 by a strong force of Germans. "In spite of the formal assurances given hy the burgomaster that none of the civilians had taken part In the fight two farms and six outlying houses were destroyed by gun fire and reduced to uslios. No recently discharged firearms wero found. Nevertheless, the Invaders divided the male peasants into three groups. Those In one group were bound and U of them placed In a ditch, where they were afterward found dead, their skulls fractured by the butts of rifles.

LONDON, Sept. 17, 3:45 a.m.— The German right wing is now encircled by the allies, according to an Amiens despatch to the Daily News. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) . LONDON, Sept. 10, 9:20 p.m.—The German army, which less than a fortnight ago was at the gates of Purls and the right wing of which then expended to the east bf the Fitfmch capital, Is tonight drawn up in almost a straight lino extending- from the neighborhood of Noyon In tlie west to Bois Fergs on the Meuse, north of Verdun, with Ita left resting on the German fortress of Met*!. Thus tlie right wing, nt least, has gone back moro than 70 miles In two Weeks, while the rest of the army has had also to retire before the whole could find ground upon which to make another stand against the nd- Vffjioe of the allies. That the Germans intend to give liattle on this line, with the river Aisne In front or tlieir right, iho hills of Reims facing their centre and the mountains and forest of Argonne on tholr left, there seems to be little doubt. Thoy went hack steadily beforo tlie French nnd English armies, fighting only rearguard actions until their right got' across thc Alsne. Tflttf»*Wiey turned and delivered several' counter-attacks, which, however, according to the British official reports, were repulsed, the Germans leaving 200 prisoners in the hands of the British. Teuton Right Wing Not Safe These counter-attacks were doubtless delivered in the hope of giving the troops of the Hght wing, exhausted by the long advance followed by an almost as long retreat, the opportunity of resting and preparing poi lions from which they could resist b tacks from tho allies and in which tliey could await reinforcements before taking up the offensive again, The Germans are In the hilly country around Noyon, on tho plateau north of Vic-sur-Alsne and Soissons and north of Reims, -Where they are dig* giiig strong entrenchments and receiving reinforcements. But even here this right wing has up to the present borno the brunt of the fighting lu tin advance and the retreat is not altogether safe for the French army opet* ating from Amicus clings to Its flank, while the Britlsn and French for continue to press In front. It is essential, however, that tliey should hold their positions to cover the lims of retreat to the north, which would he the only way out if defeat should be their lot. That they realize this hns been shown by the fact thut they bave been contesting every foot of ground with the allied armies.

The British nrmy, ns has been Its lot since it landed In France, Is taking its full share In this fighting, which on the front has been particularly severe since tho Germans crossed the Aisno and made their first determined stand in the retreat from Purls. Entrench on High Rough Ground The German centre, which in- the last fow days has come more into line with the two wings, now stretches from tho heights north of Reims to the western foothills of the Argonne ridge, dipping a little south to touch Ville-sur-Tourbe, just northeast of camp de Chalons. This Is all high, rough ground In many places covered "by heavy forest, which may by this timQ have been destroyed. The -Germnn left has been driven hack a^ little further than tho centre and holds the ground from west of the Argonno hills north of Vurennes, which the French have reoccupied, to the Meuse, which It crosses at Con- senvoye and thence southeastward to Metz. Tbe crossing of thQ Meuso, which the Germans have selected at Con- senvoyc is just out of range of the fortress guns of Verdun, so thnt as far as the battle now pending ls concerned they have not to reckon with this stronghold except as It offers support to the French In case the allies aro compelled to retire. The Germans on this long line cover* as many lines of retreat as possible, including those by Namur, Glvet, Meniere?, Sedan and Stenay, and should soon be ready, if they have not already commenced, to give battle, or If tho offensive comes from tho other side, to defend their positions. A German defeat would leave the enemy in a bad position as the heavy rains would prevent tho getting away of tbo big artillery.

This Is the first view of the little country which is now the scene of mighty struggle, the end of which no person can foretell. There are horse races, concerts, and the amusements for which Ostend Is noted. Ostend lies in the middle of the Bel* glan coast and is the largest of the seaside towns and one of the oldest In Belgium. In ancient times It was fortified nnd during the wars between the Spnniards and the Dutch, the Spaniards defended it for three years. However, today it is quite changed and has no .walls but just a long "digue" or sand dune. The town is full of imposing hotels, pensions, handsome stores and churches The large church of St. Peter and St, Paul being one of the finest of the many outside of the city of Brussels. Ostend Is a popular holiday resort, for the people of the country. English and Germans are also frequent visitors, and a large number of French peoplo resort to the town during the summer months for the sea bathing dancing and a great deal of gambling at the Kursal (a handsome building, the dome of which can be seen from the sea). ,One part of the flat beach in front of the digue is crowded with bathing muchlnes and it is told by th attendants that one day last summer 6,000 persons bathed there. It ls very noisy and the people seem to live for gaiety, some parading around and others sitting outside the numerous cafes drinking lager beer and wine and enjoying the music of the bands and orchestras, of which the town is full during the season, An enjoyable holiday can ibe spent for a comparatively small sum in this resort and hundreds of persons In all -parts of England regularly visit Ostend during the summer months In preference to other seaside or summer places ln their own land.

He Is quoted by the New York City News as having made the following statement concerning the withdrawal of American troops from Vera Cruz: "It Is a desperate shame that the United States has seen fit to abandon the decent people of Mexico when they most need help. I do not know the reason for this but It would seem thut President Wilson is misinformed in some matters and that if another side of the situation has been brought to his attention he has not seen fit to listen to anything that contradicts those who have told him that the country has been pacified.

His reply to President Polncare's message will follow the same lines. The text of the president's reply to Emperor William was as follows: I received your Imperial majesty's Important communication of the seventh and have read it with gravest Interest and concern. I am honored that you should have turned to me for an impartial judgment as the representative of a people truly disinterested as regards the present war and "You will, I am sure, not expect me to say more. Presently, I pray God very soon, this war will be over. Tho day of accounting will then come when I take it for granted the nations of Europe will assemble to determine a settlement.

The nations of tbe world "have fortunately, by agreement, made a plan for such a reckoning and settlement. What such a plan cannot compass the opinion of mankind, tho final arbiter of such matters, will supply. It would be unwise, it would bo premature for a single government, however fortunately separated from the great Btruggle, it would even be Inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation which, like this, has no part in the contest^ to form or express final judgment.

N For Sale by Wood-Vallance Hardware Company, Limited GERMANY SPENDS MILLION PER YEAR ON SPIES 'Protests have recently been made against the action of thc British ad- pilralty ln permitting foreigners 'to ■pompoto at tho said of warships, held pcrio^-cally in the various dockyard**; of Britain. At ordinary times the alien ia kept at a,good distance from the yards but when a sale 'takes place he js pracWcally given a free run of thom. 3'hero is very little.doubt that aunong the foreigners whu attend the "warship .auctions" arc several secret service agents who are on the lookout for Information which will be valuable to the powers they represont. *. The main endeavors of foreign spies to obtain valuable secrets are devoted - to naval stations and dockyards. Il was not so very many years ago when yVpicrlcah students wero permitted to •attend.British schools of naval archl tecturo. \ Women spies are said to haunt the neighborhood of British naval stations: and dockyards like so many flics on a molasses barret, and 1t was not so very long ago when a, contain naval officer discovered that a pretty young lady he was on vcry<good terms with was a apcret service agent In tho employ of a blg;.powor. Tho girl's Innuisitiveness concerning naval matters generally made hlifi a. little suspicious and he thought it wis© to Inform his superiors. Quiet inquiries elicited the fact that alio had attempted a few days beforo to bribe a dockyard employe to steal certain plans for her. Secrets of Gibraltar H has been said and probably with a,good deal of truth, that bidden away] Ipi a safe in a government office In Germany are fairly accurate plans of Gibraltnr's defense works, and that tjiify were made from rough sketches supplied 'by a German girl, who some years ago alighted at Gibraltar for the "beneDit of her health." After she had been on tho rock for some weeks the offfeers thero discovered that she knew too much concerning, quick firing guns and other things and In the long run s|io was politely but* firmly advised to 'sc.ck another "health resort" u was proved that she wus a spy In the cm- , ploy of Germany, and it is pretty cer- ,taln that she -despatched particulars THMl. sketches of Gibraltar's defense woHw to Berlin. ,,Tlio various governments spend thpusands of dollars each year on thplr secret service, and It costs Ger inauy moro than one million dollars every* twelve .months to maintain her battalion of spies. ■ There Is a. special fund fpr paying the salaries and expenses of the .body of men and women who comprise the sides of Britain* and, as a rule, this secret service costs the country one quarter million dollars. Thc minister responsible for thc distribution'of tho money lakes the fol lowing oath: "I swear that the money paid to mo foi* foreign secret service, or for dctectilng, preventing and defeating conspiracies Against the stato has been bona fldo applied to said purpose and no other." Tho Germans are always bitterly complaining of the British sketching and photographing tourists and declaring that nine out of ton mon who, to all appearances are opulent and idlo tourists, itrnivel under commissions from tho British war office. In this they are well justified, for British ugonts exist in Prance and Germany in largo numbers and a good many of them are women. Spies Caught Every Month There aro certainly more. spies In Germany and France than in any other countries in the world, and scarcely al month passes but some spy is (taken' red handed on the Franco-German frontier. Germany spies on Fronde, and France spies on Germany, and the Bpy work of the frontier has become so systematic that at the present time it is considered quite a business, and mon are trained by both the French and German governments how to become spies and to act its such. There is a school for spies in Prance and the masters arc expert hands at spying, if a. French spy is sent into Gormany he Is given miniature maps of German fortifications nnd the like. These ho has to learn by heart, for the French government wisely refuses to allow1 a spy to carry* such incriminating documents about Mm. The spy Is supplied with German notes and gold, and given several addresses, both In Franco and Germany, to which he has to send his reports In code and under different names. It Is an 'international law, ibut an unwritten one, that a sovereign can not lawfully require a subject to servo] as a spy, except in a singular casc.i and that of the last 'Importance. Nevertheless, no country will ever lack spies, for the work that Is required of them is so adventurous and so well ■paid that thousands of men would jump at the opportunity to become a secret service agent.

Austria, in fact, had fully yielded and that she herself at this point had good hope of a peaceful issue is shown by tho communication mnde to you on Aug. 1 by Count Menszdorff (Austrian ambassador to London) that Austria had n'either 'hanged the door' on compromise nor cut off the conversations. "Count Schzbeko to the end was working hard for peace. He was em-; ploying the most conciliatory language to Count von Berchthold and he informed me that the latter as well as Count Forgach had responded In the same spirit. Certainly it was too much for Russia; to expect that Austria would hold back Us armies. But this matter could probably have been settled by negotiations and Count Schebeko repeatedly told me that he was prepared for the acceptance of any reasonable compromise. Unfortunately, .these conversations at St. Petersburg and Vienna were cut short by the transfer of the dispute to the more dangorous ground of a direct conflict between Germany and Russia, "Germany intervened on July 31 by means of Its double ultimatum to St. i Petersburg and Paris. These ultimatums were of a kind to which only one reply could be possible and Germany declared war on Russia on Aug. 1 and on Franc*) Aug. 3. "A few days might in all probability have saved Europe from one of the greatest calamities in history."

Sir: Tho evolution of tho human races may he. in short, confined into two classes—the agricultural and the industrial. To the latter statistics say belong 4'. por cent of the population in our Dominion, while the industrial classes with their varied occupations claim the other 55 per cent. The dominating class of our nation la the industrial, which by its majority and technical education has a superior riglit to tho final say in I'ram- Inj; our luws by which wo nil are governed. In our modern civilization fl- nanco has become the most important agency whereby each unit of tho human raco can obtain comfort, convenience" nnd food, for existence, not only as It relates to our domestic affairs, hut. In our relations also with other nations. To tills end the principal nations of the world have adopted gold as a standard upon wliich lo issue tiie currency which finances them both for domestic and foreign purposes. Tho utility of gold for this purpose in normal limes no one has seriously questioned until our present crisis; hut what we do question is if our statesmen, financiers and economists havo given tho same sincere aud impartial study to the needs and economic requirements for financing adequately the farming classes as that given to tlio Industrial classes in their varied occupations; Tlio agricultural classes aro largely tho source and foundation upon wliich (tio Industrial classes aro built aud maintained. We know for sure that it is the class whicli is the closest to and forms tho first link witli nature to bring forth from mother earth what Is needed for human existence—food—the first consideration, in sufficient quantity for our domestic need**, and if possible a surplus to pass on to other nations less favored. A currency based on the standard of gold is considered most roliable for all concerned In our bartering both at home and abroad, 'Tho farmers have left this function of barter to the industrial class and this class In its varied occupations forms this second link in our social relations both at home and abroad. ■To argue that the system which is most convenient aud secure for financing this industrial class In its domestic as well as foreign affairs Is also tho most economical and reliable for financing the agricultural class is an argument not founded upon scientific economy. Ill our statesmen, financiers and economists would give consideration to the following suggestions wo feel confident thev would make the productive tillable soil the means of so- curing a moro staple and economical standard for our domestic currency than our present gold standard alone; and there never was, nor do we trust there ever will be, a time when this | subject needs moro consideration than ; at the present and that without delay. v * We would suggest that our Dominion- government paBS an act, which might he known us the Dominion Agricultural Mortgage Bond act, to form the basis for a standard currency to lin known as Dominion agricultural mortgage bond notes, whicli notes by i»ct of parliament must he mado leg;*! ■teuderi'or all debit and barter within their land should form themselves into ' t*. co-operative organization operating under a 'constitution and' bylaws drawn up by the Dominion government to meet the situation. Individual members applying for and obtaining a loan from the government under this act should give a mortgage In triplicate—the original mortgage which is endorsed and guaranteed by tlie respective provinces iu whicli the laud to be mortgaged Is located and which' Is deposited with tho Dominion government In exchange for the mortgage bond notes; the duplicate mo"t- gago which Is endorsed and guaranteed by the co-operative organization of which tho mortgagor is a member and which is deposited with the re* specttvo provincial governments; and last, tbe triplicate copy for iho use of the local co-operative organization, Such loans should, if necessary, hr granted up to the full valuo of the property mortgaged, as approved by tlie local official valuator of the organization and the district, officer acting on behalf or the respective governments concerned. By this means the mortgage both as to principal and Interest; is guaranteed by the local organization and the Dominion and provincial governments. Tho Dominion mortgage bond notes issued on the security of such mortgages must only bo expended under tho supervision of tbo local organization and for the purpose only us specified In the application, as each organisation must be responsible for each of Its members and the respective province responsible for each of its organizations. Tlio mortgage loan should be for a term of years with tho privilege to redeem before maturity, All payments of principal on such mortgages must be made in mortgage bond notes, which must then bo withdrawn from circulation as their funclion has been accomplished and their place taken by the gold standard circulation gravitating back to the farmers through the increased productiveness of their land by scientific methods of tillage, convergence of perishable products into marketable commodities and a national organization for distribution. Add to this the moral impetus witli a spirit of progresslve- ness which will lie exemplified liy the leade/s ;in each community having such an organization and then draw your own conclusions as to whether our Dominion government can trust tbo circulation of such a. currency until the agricultural classes have produced sufficient surplus to replace it with foreign gold. If we doubt this then we must admit that the earning power of our Dominion agricultural class has been a better standard under crippled financial conditions and disorganization than wltb sufficient financial accommodation and perfected organization. The interest on these mortgages should not exceed -I per cent and this shall Inclule the cost of administration. Wo will leave it to those better qualified to picture the blessing and progress of our agricultural development In Its many and varied lines by being able to finance it unhampered, ns required, along the lines of sclen- tifc modern advancement. You all know that the cow which lias to exist on half rations and scanty attention can only produce half or less of tho nutritious flujd and that at a greater cost to Its owner than the cow wltb full rntlntiR and proper attention. . And so with tlie agricultural class* most of their nourishment, they should see. too, that they get full valuo by giving full financial ration and proper attention. Do not overlook tho value of effective co-operation by the fnrmers as a result from organization under government control and be not misguided by a small percentage of better-to-do farmers units in its class who, like similar units iu tho industrial class, have selfish interests at stake. lu (his greatest trial of civilized nations it behooves us all to throw aside all petty differences and selfish interests and meet on common ground with common interests for tiie elevation to u nobler and more perfect adjustment of our social and national relations. o. ,T.

CANADA'S WORST FOE. Says the Canadian Cornier in a note on current events: The worst foe this country bus ia the man who makes a big contribution to tbe patriotic fund and then closes down his place of business, or lays off his employes. In this the Courier is absolutely right. While contributions to the patriotic fund are necessary if tbo dependents of tlio men who have gone to the front (o fight the Empire's battles are to be adequately provided for and while everyone should contribute thereto us liberally as possible, the ni'iii who gives a large amount to the cause and then takes it out oi his employes Is not a loyal Canadian nor yet a true Britisher, whatever ho proclaims himself. Any Canadian manufacturer who contributes a large amount to the Canadian patriotic fund or any other fund and'then recoups himself at the expense of his employes deserves to have his name and his action advertised from the end of the Dominion to the other and to have his goods boycotted by every right-thinking person. THE KAISER AND A PREDICTION. The attention of The Daily News has been drawn to an extract from tlio Glasgow Weekly Herald of Aug. ]5 of the present year which may perhaps servo lo explain why the kaiser did not precipitate tho present war in 1012, as the German proclamations Issued in connection with the opening of hostilities a little over a month ago Indicate was at one lime intended, providing, of course, Emperor Wilhelm was aware of lhe prophesy In figures and names mentioned therein. Tbo extract from tho Herald Is as follows; A Glasgow correspondent writes; While in London in January, 1013, I was in conversation with a gentleman und we fell lo discussing commercial matters generally. I nskedjiim what bis view was of tlie cause of the depression in business. He made no reply, hut taking a piece of paper wrote tho following: 1S4!»—King of Prussia. 1 8 -1 It 1871.—*Emperor of Germany. 1 x 1888—Death or lOmpefor. 1 1D13—Knd of tho German Empire, Proceeding tho gentleman said: lu 18-HI the king of Russia, while Visiting a remote part of his country, camo across a soothsayer whom he asked "to tell his fortune." Tho woman assented by writing down the series of dates as I have shown them to you. Our correspondent's friend concluded by remarking that the kaiser is not without his superstitions und the prediction of the woman no doubt had an unsettling effect upon bis mind. As a matter of history and fn explanation of the above dates, lt may be recalled that In 18*10 the national assembly elected the king of Prussia emperor, but he declined the position. In 1*871 came the re-establlshment of the German Empire, William I of Prussia being proclaimed emperor. On March 9, 1888, "the great emperor who founded German unity" died. # <$ *> WHAT THE PRESS IS SAVING <3> <$> <*> $Q&&&Q&t)4>tt*t} #$$■$£«&$$$*$■-*$ War In Common Words.

What was commonly known as a rural school district wag one. he said, whicli contained moro than 20 children of school age and also assessable property and income sufficient to provide for the necessary school expenditure and which had also been gazetted as a fully organized rural school district. In fully organized rural schools tho government paid to,each teacher $480 per year, and also granted in addition ?1 for each dollar by which tho salary of the teacher is increased by the assessment up to a limit of $100 per annum. The council of public instruction had the power to defray the cost of the erection of a suitable building and to supply furniture, etc. Other equipment, such us fuel, maps, etc., was supplied by the district, Do Not Vote Enough, He pointed out that the chief financial trouble wns that in rural school districts usually enough money was not voted at the annual meeting. The board should present at the meeting, ho said, an estimate of the expenditures for the year, for which tliey consider taxes should be voted by tho ratepayer. Another, and the chief eaiiso of trouble, was that most rural districts forget that, while they vote ttixes, say hi June, ror the running of their schools lor the year, it is not for the school year commencing that month but for tho calendar year commencing tho following January. Unless they had the previous year voted sufficient funds to run their school until the end of the present year, they should now vote one and a half years' taxes. Ho said that the education department recognized tlio difficulty of borrowing money for school districts nnd that It had made provision for an advance to the board of an amount not. to exceed In any year 7*1 per cent of the tolal amount, voted at the last annual meeting, to supplement the teacher's salary and for incidental expenses. He advised strongly that the boards should not borrow if they could help it but should endeavor to Bee that tho full amount was voted at. the annual meeting. Speaks en Public Health. A paper by Dr. A. Verth Jones on "Public Health" led to a. discussion a1* its eon-elusion on ways and means of providing a means for better medical attention In schools. Dr. Jones said that among the several things Important in a community were the water supply, playgrounds for children, good sanitary conditions and medical supervision of foodstuffs. She said that the population of many of tho western towns was mote or less of a transient nature and to leave health legislation in tho hands of local officials was on this account, very unsatisfactory. Tlio state should care fo: the public health. Moro than that tho people should he educated and taught tbe essentials of health. She went Into the matter of water, typhoid, sewage, diiBt, heating and ventilation and environment in connection with health. She discussed infectious diseases and said that the C'uiadian people thought, too lightly of these matters and the results following therefrom. They were, in her opinion* entirely unnecessary evils. In discussing the care of the teeth, she said that too little care was given by parents to their children's teeth. It certainly was ii problem for the slate to pay a competent dentist, not only for inspecting children's teeth and telling them they ought to be filled, but for doing the actual work continuously and well. There wore all kinds of Inspectors to show how to make tlio laud more productive and how to care for the production; what was wanted now was more care for tiie producer, man. Garden As Educational Factor ,T. W. Gibson, in speaking on the subject, "The School Garden As a Factor In Education," said that U\e demand of tho education of modern limes was lhat il should fit one for uctlvc lite. Education was largely un enrichment of experience. Uy tho use or the school garden ns a part of education in the country schools the child was taught to observe closely and to think moro clearly along the tines of farm occupations. The speaker gave lhe history and different conceptions of the. school garden management, dating us far back as Uh> seventeenth century. lie told bow the experiment bad (succeeded In various parts of tin world and how the Industrial idea might be experimented with among the Canadian Indians. Thi; educational Idea wns aot lost sight, of and In some places was mon Btrongly emphasized than was the Industrial aspect. In Canada. Great Britain and the United States the two were combined. Thc Influence on the child, physically and mentally, was Tor the best It madg r,,r better health and trained the chllil to observe. The farmer of the future must be a scientific man to produce what was necessary and this method encouraged scientific and methodical Ideas. Banquet Is Held At the banquet held In the public school assembly ball in tile evening, Dr. N, Wolverton, who has boon up- pointed chairman of the local board In tlie place of the late John Hamilton, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the school board and was replied to by President Wright. Short addresses were given by Inspector Miller and W. It. McLean, M.l'.P., and a program was supplied 'by W. J. Twlss and li, J. Martin, principal of the public school. At the conclusion of the dinner Judge Forin addressed thf. convention on "English Literature and Oratory," pointing out the importance of these brunches of educutional work. There were many Canudians who were nol sufficiently'acquainted with the mother tongue, although they spoke It, he said. He advised thut much reading be done and said that he thought that time could be put to good advantage in lhe schools by getting the children to memorize passages In English literature. Canada was a vast country, be said, and When Germany and Austria were split up after the war, as lie was sure tbey would 'be, then would the people of those countries seek other climes and this would have a widespread effect on the English Innguagc, as inuny would come to fill this great space known as Canada. Ho spoke of somo of the orators of Great Britain and America, described the style of each and his character isllc mode or expression.

Smith, K.C., one of the leaders of the Unionist party. In an Interview tonight emphasized the statement that though the Unionists might Justly resent the putting of home rule on the statute book, their firm and single determination was to support the government lo defeat the common enemy. The government represented a united Empire. When the sword was sheathed it was lime enough to re- sumo the discussion of home affairs. Mr. Smith added: "Party politics are a small consideration and until we are victorious all domestic questions arc laid aside, The Unionist parly will lend every assistance to the government which is de- |.termlned to see the country through tbe present crisis and Is resolved to carry the great struggle to a successful and triumphant conclusion. "The motto of Bonar Law and Sir Edward Carson alike, is 'our country first,' and that has always been our motto." Mr. Smith concluded: "I am addressing a meeting with Right Hon, Winston Churchill In Liverpool'on Monday and am prepared to stand side by side until the war Is ove with any Englishman, Scolsman, Irish man and Welshman who means to see the war through. I know this -is the view of the whole Unionist party." ■— ♦— GET-RICH-QUICK ARTISTS ARTISTS REAP HARVEST The closing of the stock exchange and KUSpensio,u of business In Wall street have given the -get-riCh-quiCk!' men a good field in which t0 work.

"Fanner Jef DUei'ch of NeerheBpon Is an eyewitness to the following atrocities, committed by German -jay* airy at Orsmael and Neerhespen, oi Aug. 10, il and 12: Burned Alive—Others Mutilated, "An old man had his arm cut ln threo longitudinal strips, he was then hunged head downward and burned alive. Young girls were raped and littlo children outraged at Orasmael and mutilations, too horrible to describe, were inflicted on otlier Inhabitants, "After an engagement at Haelen ■Commandant Vandamme was so severely wounded that he was lying prone on his back. He was murdored by German Infantrymen firing their revolvers Into his mouth. "At times the Germans went into battle with a Belgian flag, "Near a fort at Loncln a gnup of German Infantry holBted tho flag nf truce and when Belgian soldloi's approached them to take them prisoners tliey wore fired upon at close range. Aerschot, a town of 8,000 inhabitants, was Invested by the Girinnnt" on the morning of Aug. 19. No Belgian troops remained behind. No sooner had the Germans entered the city than they began by shooting several inoffensive civilians, In the evening, claiming that a superior German officer had been shot, the Germans took hold of every man In the ciiy, carrying them, 50 at a time, within somo distance of bhe town. There they grouped them in lines of four, nude them run ahead of them, and Hied upon them, killing 40. "For threo whole days they continued to pillage and set lire to everything in their way. "About 150 inhabitants of Aerschot are supposed to have thus perished. "The German army penetrated into Louvain, after having set fire to the surrounding towns and villages. Indulge in Horrible Orgies. "From the moment of their entrance into the city they requisitioned lodging nnd food for their troops. They entered every private bank and loot- e.i their reserves. They entered private residences and sacked and pillaged them, and Indulged in orgies oC all kinds. Women and children were outraged and illtreated by the soldiers. "On Aug. 25 an engagement took place iu the neighborhood of Louvain between German and Belgian troops. The Germans, repulsed and pursued hy the Belgian troops, retreated toward Louvain In full panic. Many witnesses testify that at the moment the German garrison in Louvain was erroneously Informed that Belgians were entering the city Immediately the German garrison stationed at Louvaln withdrew toward the station, where It clashed with its own troops, which were being pursued hy the Belgians. Everything seems to point to the fact that a conflict took place. rPretcuding that Belgian civilians had fired on the German troops, the Germans began bombarding tlio city and kept up the bombardment until 10 o'clock that night. Around the place where the affray started not a single body was found of a civilian, proving that the population had not participated In the shooting. Houses wiliich had not taken fire wero set on fire by soldiers. Tho greater part of the city, especially the haute ville, that Is to say, the part comprising the modern houses, the cathedral of St. Peters, the universities, with Its old and famous library, its manuscripts, its collection and scientific investiga tlons, tho theatre and many more buildings were consumed by flames. Soldiers Carouse Amid Ruins. "Tho city is entirely destroyed with tho exception of tho city hnll and the station. "The library of the university is also destroyed. The town resembles (in old city in ruins in thc midst of which drunken soldiers were carousing carrying around bottles of wines and liquors. Tho officers theniselvos were installed In arm chairs, drinking like their own men. The procedure of the Germans seems to ho the samo everywhere. In ■several instances the civilians were sent to Germany to be compelled there, it seems, to labor In tho fields as was done in the days of slavery."

It was considered that the formation of such a national board was not calculated to prove of mucb advantage owing to the Immenso dist ances and tho differing interests of tho various provinces. Another point was tliat with such a board the really Important boards of trade such as Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg might not havo a proportionate voijo in a body whore tlie Innumerable smaller boards throughout the country would also claim representation. Instead of such a fixed hoard It was thought that much more useful work could be done by occasional conferences of representatives from the varl ons board nf trad,, when matters of importnnce could be discussed. Consideration was given lo the Winnipeg board of trade appeal for support of Us protest to tbe government agains (he cancelation of through rates from the United Kingdiin to points in tin Canadian west and the recent increase in ocean rates.

We grudge lotting our men sol ta help in this defense simply be-1 cause "wo do not realize the danger or tho personal element about It. Wo hear some firms remark, "Oh, this is only a scare, There Is no need for my men to go." Although this is fortunately not often heard, yet the Idea Is there and the danger is very close. Only by the efficiency of our men at home can we hope to show a bold front to the enemy, and the only wny to havo peace is to prepare for war even at this eleventh hour. This Is the story of that part of the Invasion which the London Cyclist regiment were responsible for atul illustrates the use of the cycle in warfare over all kinds of country. The regiment wont Into camp at LeWes ROO strong; nil fully equipped, about the end of July, and nfter nr* rival on the ground each company was marched to its own lines, tbere to pitch tents and havo a clean up be fore "cook-houBe" sounded, which of course, was greeted with cheers (be* fore the men saw tlie grub), but everything disappeared In a marvelous manner* in spite of the fact that the tea was made with the water that the cabbage was boiled In. Each man hud his own plate, mug, knife and fork, which he washed up afterwards and took away with him. The recruits were somewhat disgusted, but they Boon fell into it, and their hunger made many things possible. We had nothing to do In the afternoon except clean up, -put up a few tents and mount a guard, Then all who were not on for duty were allowed off till midnight to inspect the town. Even this was new to some of the city men, who found a little country town a source of great amuse ment. "Lights out" went at 11:15 p. m., si that tlie late comers had to get tn bed in the dark as best tliey could, and the noise when they came in is better imagined than described. The oldtlmers hud tnken the precaution to make up their beds before going out, but the "rookies" found on thcli turn that all ithe best positions were taken, and that as they tried to put down their blankets they were con tinually treading on some one, and were rnther forcibly reminded of the fnct. They all settled down at last, ho'wevor, the veterana to sleep and tho others to spend the night kicking about, wondering why the blankets •would not stay on. them. They had not noticed that the veterans had brought safety pins and had pinned the blankets at the side and end, thus forming an admirable sleeping bug; but all things have un end, und there ■was not much grumbling when reveille went at r>:30 a. in. Ten minutes were allowed for dressing, and then tbe tents had to bo :braled up und all the kit brought out and dressed in line in front of the tents. As soon as that waa accomplished we wont off for a wash and then back ready for breakfast at 7:30. Then came tho final clean up, ready for church parade. After this We were frco for the rest of the day. On Monday morning the work started by physical drill, and some good stiff doubling under tho guidance of tho sergeant-major, who did not forget to put us through it. After breakfast we had an alarm call, and managed to get on parade in two minutes Which would even rival thc fire brigade. For the first week wc did very littlo except elementary work anfl route marching, and on the Sunday over 00 men went down With ptomaine poisoning, from some liad moat which the caterer had managed to put off on our quartermaster. The way the doctor set to work at the first alarm was rather interesting. It was seen that the sickness was confined to one company, so that company was immediately isolated, all their tents being moved to tbe other side of tho field and those men who were very "bad were taken to the hospital tent, wbere they wero dosed with hot brandy every 15 minutes, whllo onc man win was very bad was rushed In the eye list ambulance to the hospital 'In the town. Then the medical officer went round and asked every man In the stricken company just what he bad bad to eat the day before, and then by deduction he was uble to find out just wbere the offense lay. Needless to say, we had a new caterer, and fortunately everyone recovered, hut thero is little doubt thut tills was due to the prompt uction taken by our M. O. It ruined on Monday, but we had to make a start in the evening, so we were busy all day with preparations, and aibout 6 p.. m. we made a* st***'t for the coast, our orders being to bivouac at Shorehnm and be ready to move at nny minute. We arrived af about 10:15 and found a cavalry regiment ensconced under the shadow of their horses vainly trying to keep dry and gert some sleep. They were very giud to see thut we were rather -worse off and managed to give us a cheer as wc went past. We had one small tent, under which we managed to get our heads, nnd so we slept, or tried to. until the morning, when it was a case of cold rations and an early start. We were the •due force and were supposed to have landed on the south coast at daybreak. There were cavalry guarding nil roads north of us, and ll was up to us to get through them and force our way along inland, So that -we could help the other divisions of blue who were landing at different points along the coast. Oui scouts told us that thc red force wer. holding all roads in force, so that tin only thing for us to do was to try and make our way over the range of fairly high hills, which intervened between us and comparatively safety Our colonel was equal to the occasion, and was determined to get through; so off We went, It was Impossible to ride, so we had to get off and -tramp for eight miles, pushing our machines, aud occasionally giving a helping hand to tho motor transport that carried our belongings. It was hard work, but We eventually won through, and there Was not one "quitter." * We succeeded, and as the movement was so unexpected, we were enabled to get In touch with our main body, und by nightfall we were 40 miles away from our last resting place. From there on we had a comparatively uneventful time. There were times when we liad to be on tlie alert all night In ease of attack. We rode al! along tlie south of England, fighting our way from town to town and vil iage to village, until we had driven the enemy to Dover, where on Friday the final battle came, and Wo were forced to retire and lot the red force get back lo their headquarters ut Lon doii; while we slipped through to the coast again.

In thp early history of the army soldiers were quartered upon Innkeepers and the inconveniences arising from this custom led to the buildiing of barracks. In Europe.' troops on campaign seldom carry tents, the inhabitants of the districts traversed being obliged tn, give them Judging. This economical method of housing soldiers on passage has been adopted in England, apparently with pleasant results lu making the peoplo acquainted with their defenders. During tlie week of the embarkation officers asked private presidents tin Lon- \m suburbB to blltet soldiers on .the march for a night or two. In most lases the amplication was willingly, •'Ven Joyously acceded to. Everyone .vas ready to accommodate Tommy Atkins Or an officer, and there was no difficulty 'In Obtaining the lodgings required far the men during their paSS- ge through the district. The householder, however, often was puzzled as tio what billeting involved, what bedrooms the soldiers would want, how lu lUMild he fed, how he should be tWdt- ed, as one of the family or as a dls- Iiigubhed guest. Sometimes, according to a correspondent of one English newspaper a kind-hearted woman would ask In a confidential tcjno whether she would have to provide sleeping garments and pocket money for tho soldiers. In many cases they were aim-oat pampered by tho housewife, who regarded it as an honor 'to he asked to entertain a soldier "going to tho war." •> KING ALBERT THANKS CZAR FOR MILITARY CROSS (By Dally News Leased Wlro.)

MANITOBA GIVES FLOUR. TO BRITAIN Fifty Thousand Bags WIN Be Sent— To Raise Loan for Public Works Construction. (By Dally foews L&wd Wire.) WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 1G.-In the local legislature today the reply to. tho speech from the throne was moved by H. B. McWhlerter of Elmwood and was seconded hy S. Thorvnldson of Gimll. Both speakers referred in'patriotic terms to Ci'iiada's duty to the motherland in the present time of stress. Mr.' Thorvaldson, who was horn In Iceland, said the people of his rae© who had become naturalized were among the most loyal of Great 'Britain's sons, realizing fully the freedom .they enjoyed under the British flag which they loved devotedly. T. C. Norris, leader of the opposition, spoke at somo length, telling of the duty of Manitoba to give substantially to the Empire and of Its best. He referred to the fact that no mention hod been made fn the Bpeech from the throne as to such assistance, although he said he had heard on good authority that a gift of flour was'contemplated. Me thought that a gift of 1,000 or 2,000 horses would meet the needs of the Empire more fully. He spoke of his pride In the sons of Manitoba who had rushed to offer their services to the Empire when duty called. Premier Roblin referred to the special conditions which made necessary tho calling of the legislature. He stated tliat he had alreay conferred with the minister of militia with >'e£- erenco to a gift of horses, but Col, Ihigbes had informed him that re* mounts wero not needed, that In fact, the Fort Garry horse would have to leave Its hor-aes behind. He had also offered to have a regiment equipped hut this was not accepted in view of tho action of the federal government in sending a contingent. It was tho intention to send BO.0O0 bags of flour. The premier in making reference to •lhe closing down of the public works said that it had been necessary, nl- l.hcugh the government had not thought It advisable to make the reasons public. He, however, was will- Ins to give the reasons privately to the leader of the opposition and l? the latter thought necessary the matter could- he gone Into hy committee of the whole. Mr. Johnson, Liberal member for Centre Winnipeg, said he considered it only his duty to. at this Htag'e, call attention to the secrecy of the government in not having made reference to Manitoba's gift to the Em- piro In the speech from the throne. He made comparison with the Dominion government which had taken the opposition Into Us confidence. He charged the Manitoba government with lack of frankness in not giving fully its reasons for the closing down of public works. He did not think the offer of Premier Roblin to take Mr. Norris into his confidence was sufficient Hon. Hugh Armstrong, provincial treasurer, explained his bill to raise $2,000,000 for public works. He stated that hut for the war the government cou*ld have completed the works without having recourse to the legislature. Debate on the bill was adjourned. In discussing the land bill introduced by Hon. J. M. Howden Mr. Nor- Vis said that it was one of the most difficult questions he had heen called upon to consider. He was a member of a farming community but he did not know what the farmers who were most vitally concerned in the measure thought of it. He asked If anything had heen done to get their views. Mr. Howden answered no. Mr. Norris, continuing, said the measure should only be made to apply where needed, it was necessary to frame the hill so that not the speculator but the men in need should benefit. He suggested that the registrar-general or the courts should pass on special cases. Premier Koblin reviewed the conditions which made the bill necessary. He said it would be difficult to have individuals come before the committee to make representations but the officers of loan companies and agreement of sale men would be there ln force. The bill would do no injury to loan companies but even if It did should they not make some sacrifices for their country? All the sacrifices should not be on the side of the men who had gone to the front. Sir Rodmond agreed to the suggestion of receiving deputations. ■ ♦ COST OF LIVING WORK HAMPERED BY WAR OTTAWA, Sept. id.—The commission appointed by the government last autumn to make a report on lhe high cost of living has practically discontinued Its efforts to collect statistics and o,ther information for Its report.

Expert Watch Repairing CALLS ON IRELAND TO KEEP FAITH John Redmond Hopes War Will Unite Differing Factions of Erin During Struggle. (Hy Daily News Leaded Wire.) LONDON', Sept. 16.—"The democracy of Great Rrltaln has kept faith with Ireland and it is now the duty o" honor for Ireland to keep faith with It," says John* Redmond, the Irish lender, In n manifesto issued tonight in which lie calls on Irishmen to hear their share in the war in which the Empire is engaged. "The Irish people know and appreciate the fact fully that at last after centurities of misunderstanding tho democracy of Great Britain has finally ana irrevocably decided to trust them and give them back their national liberties. "By overwhelming British majorities a charter ot liberty for Ireland lias three times been passed by the house of commons and in a few hours will he th© law of the lund. A new era has opened In the history of tho nations. During the long discussion on the Irish problem in parliament and on the platform we promised the Hrltish people that a concession of liberty would have tfie same effect In* Ireland as hi any other part of the Empire, notably in recent years In South Africa, that dissatisfaction would give way to friendship and good will and that Ireland would become a strength Instead of a weakness to the Empire," Mr, Redmond then goes on to speak of the war, saylag: "It Is a just war, provoked by the intolerable military despotism of Germany—it is a war for high Ideals of human government and International relations and Ireland would be false to history, to every consideration of honor, good faith and self-interest, did sho not willingly bear her share in the burdens and its sacrifices. "We have even when no ties of sympathy bound our country to Great Britain always given our quota and more than our quota to the firing line and we shall do so now. "We have a right to claim that Irish recruits for an expeditionary force should he kept together as a unit and officered as far as possible by Irishmen—to form in fact, an Irish brigade, so that Ireland may gain national credit for Its deeds and feel with the other communities of the Em* pire that she, too, has contributed an army bearing her name in this historic struggle," * Mr. Redmond asks that the volunteers be put in a state of efficiency as speedily as possible for the defense oH the country. "I would appeal to our countrymen of a different creed and of opposite political opinions," Mr. Redmond said in conclusion, "to accept the friendship we have ao conscientiously offered them and to allow this great war, as to which their opinions and ours are -the same, to swallow up all the smaller issues tn the domestic government of Ireland which now divide us. Our soldlerB are going to fight and shed their blood and die at each other's side in the same army and against the same enemy for the same high purpose and I bope that their union fn the field may lead to union ln their homes and that their blood may be the seal that will bring al! Ireland together in one nation and in liberties equal and common to all."

PRICE OF BREAD IS RISING IN GERMANY Make Loaves Smaller—New Bank Notes Are Issued to Replace Diminishing Gold [BERLIN, Sept. 16.—New German bank notes valued at two marks and one mark are elaborately described in the Germnn newspapers and are regarded as quite respectable works of art.
