There will also he three squadrons of Strathcona horse, three squadrons of the Royal Canadian dragoons and tho artillery, aibout 4,000 men, and many 12, 18 and 60 lb. guns. 'Sir Robert Borden shook hands with every officer In eamp this morning. He addressed the ofMcerB of each brigade, telling them that it had been decided to Bend practically every officer and man to England. This was a splendid surprise to the officers, many of whom thought that they could not go owing to the surplus. It Is possible that many officers will be unattached and may be iiBed In English territorial regiments. Canada will also contribute aibout 30ft machine guns. Already ISO have been given by wealthy Canadians and it Is expected that many more will he forthcoming In the near future. All ot these guns will he mounted on armored automobile trucks. .

DESPERATE NATURE OF BLOODY BATTLE (Continued From Page One.) neatly folded, laced and buckled. All seem to form an integral part of the body. Even the spiked helmet remains on the head, "Nothing creates the Impression of a routed army. If the French corpses revealed the Irresistible fury of the aBsault the German dead display order and discipline. The German army 13 'beaten but not routed, It retired quickly but methodically, not resisting attacks. It withdrew with hurry but not in confusion. It disengaged Itself. "Besides war material it abandoned alBo its wounded, but with them it left behind whole sections of Its hospital corps to look after them. The French made prisoners of the wounded and of their nurses, doctors and dispensers, who maintain their rank and authority, and all these form a little German organization which continues to act automatically In the midst of tbe French army, isolated and imperturbable with Ub rigid salutes and Imperious commands, just as If nothing bad happened. Close Pursuit Impossible, "The retreat continues under the protection of heavy artillery placed In the rear guard, and so It Is still proceeding. Close pursuit Is Impossible. Action of pursuing cavalry Is out ot tbe question. Maneuvering Is necessary. Batteries must 'be turned. Tho German Infantry ls out of reach. Gaps are made in the German ranks and small bodies* of troops are captured, hut as a whole the army keeps Intact, Defeat is not yet. "The Anglo-French victory might be compared with the Japanese victory at Llao-yang, where the Russians retired without losing effectiveness. There are successful battles which do not finish. The victory is great but it cannot be more tban a magnificent preface to the end, "Later. AH roads lead to the front and all roads are jammed with an interminable array of convoys and cavalry escorts. "Galloping dragoons make the rnnks o? the convoys open behind them and an immediate line of lighted lamps draws near. The orderly and swift piocession glides along, a running funeral. Strange, they are Paris taxis, the vehicles of the French cap- Ital, which go to war at so much a mile. There are thousands. They follow each other full of soldiers. The flag of each clock is lowered. The taxis serve for carrying out rapid concentrations of troops and they go back loaded with wounded. Such Is up-to- date war." •> OXFORD UNIVERSITY WILL OPEN AS USUAL (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OXFORD, Sept. 21.—Oxford will Open as usual on Oct. 8 and F. .1.

He must know that it is honest, efficient, pure and wholesome. In cases of nervousness, heart flutter, headache, biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the patient is a tea or coffee drinker, most doctors order: "Quit tea and coffee and use Postum." Doctors recommend Postum because they know that it is a pure food-drink—absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, which makes tea and coffee injurious to mott users. It is significant that thousands of physicians not only recommend, but themselves use POSTUM —its worth having been fully demonstrated, not only in the home, but in Sanitariums, Hospitals and Colleges. POSTUM now comes in two forma: > REGULAR POSTUM—must b» well boiled—15c and 25c packages, INSTANT P08TUM—soluble—no boiling—made in the cup with hot water, INSTANTLY. 30c and 50c tins.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 A QUESTION FOR THE C. P. R. A meeting of the 81ocan district board of trade has been called to deal with the action of the Canadian Pacific railway in reducing Its service in that territory from 'dally to triweekly. Just" what action the board will take remains to be seen, but it is only natural that the proposed change should bring forth a vigorous protest from those whose Interests It would so adversely affect. Through all the varying conditions of the past 15 and more years the Canadian. Pacific railway has maintained a daily service through Slocan district. At the time of the outbreak of war conditions In Kootenay were more promising than for years so far as mining was concerned and tbere is now every prospect of an early, if not an Imiriediate resumption of normal, or approximately normal, uctUlA in this industry, as a matter of fnt there is today considerable activity la mining throughout Slocan district and as a result there is a very considerable freight traffic at the present time. It is probably quite safe to say that there will continue to be a freight train each way between Nelson and Slocan City. The only difference from the present truffle will be that on three days a week there will be no passenger coaoh attached and tbat the public will, as a result, be greatly Inconvenienced. The saving affected s.) far as the railway line is concerned is so small as to be almost negligible. It Is possible that the company hppes to make its chief saving so far as the Slocan Is concerned In tlie reduction of its lake service, making one .boat do the work of two. The business of the district, however, has grown so that one boat cannot handle the towing work and give a daily passenger service, as it could and did a couple of years ago. In other word;;, fn this case the public are being penal teed for the growth of business in the Slocan district. Is that right, or Is It fair? Will the Canadian Pacific railway Please an- s\ve.\ f -— SUCCESS TO THE MARKET. At, last an attempt is to be made to establish a public market In Nelson. Tills is n step which has been long advocated and now that action in to tv taken it is to be hoped that the movement will have the united support or the ranchers of the district and the people of Nelson. The establishment of a mar ket Is particularly opportune Just now, when the question of the cost' of living is more or prominently before the public. Not only this, but it affords a test of the practical patriotism of the people ot Nelson. Bvery dollar which will be paid a rancher for his produce will ho a dollar retained in circulation in this country and will to that extent aselst toward the maintenance of normal business conditions, something that is particularly necessary in this time of stress. People of Nelson who patronize the proposed market will not only assist tbo ranching community tributary ta tho city, but they will probably also ' save money and certainly will be discharging a duty to their city and their country. - Success to the market. feat on land is now out of the question. The aims of the German general staff have been attained. The'allies hnve been so ■badly and so suddenly worsted that Germany is free to withdraw great numbers of men to ward off the Russian invasion." Since that date he has on several occasions published interviews with himself, in which he announced that, If tbe allied powers were still desirous of peace the kaiser would likely be pleased to consider any proposal which they would make to that end, and announce the terms upon which lie would grant this peace. Britain, acting for herself and on behalf of the allied powers, has intimated that In her opinion the time has not yet come to talk of peace, and that she has had no proposal from Germany or Austria regurding peace. She entered upon this conflict, not because sho wanted war, and not until all efforts which she could put forth for the sako of peace bad been exhausted; but that at the present stage any discussion of peuce"and"the terms upon which it could be had would not ho satisfactory to her and would in any event mean the renewal oi the conflict in the future; that the Gei man menact had been in evidence since 1875, and more clearly a menace year after year. Reluctant as she Is t'j incur the expenditure of men and treasure required for Its continuance, thc conflict must go on until the kaiser will cry for peace without any condition attached thereto, the terms upon which it would he granted being dictated at Berlin—either that, or until she will he vanquished to her last man and last shilling and last ship. This is the only alternative. Meanwhile, however, she realizes that the whole German Plan of campaign has suffered shipwreck; that while the war opened with the utmost confidence that the plans therefor which had been worked out to the lust detail, nothing had operated as the kaiser and bis staff had anticipated. She knows also that the cry for peace by tho German ambassador comes from official Germany and is the cry of the despair felt there in consequence of tlie realization that her army is not invincible; that her fleet Is little more than an expensive toy—useless foi tho keeping open of her ports; that her trade is destroyed; that her manufacturers are ruined; that the losses sustained by her forces cannot long bo concealed. While Great Britain realizes that the war Is far from being over, she Is encouraged by the course of events thus far not to purchase trouble in tin, future by a hasty peace in the present, «. *-*s 'i&G &SW4 ***i I-?-* !■••>'*> J** *«-S."{«M**'S-> v <& «■ WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING « <$> <s An Initial Success.

CLASSES BE HELD EARLIER To the Editor of-The Dally News. Sir; I cannot agree with the management of the Y.M.C.A. in handling boys' gym. classes after supper; this I believe to be all wrong. First—Our schools demand a lot of home work, which takes up one and a half to two hourB every evening after supper; this brings It to about 9 o'clock, which Is a good bed hour for growing boys. iSecond--»How many boys will be home at night by !l o'clock if they have their gym. class at say G:30 to 7:30 o'clock? They -will watch and play billiards and pool, go to picture Bhows and do a lot of general night- hawking. Why should temptation be thrown in their way? They will learn It all soon enough without forcing it onto them. It looks very much to me as though our new physical director does not understand that conditions in the schools are different on this side, as all the studying is done at home. ■I. C.

'But at last "pa- tlenco ceases to be a virtue,'- for the experience that I have had in consigning fruit through the union this year would lead one to believe that, for some reason, the union is still totally Incapable of marketing fruit so that there is anything worth while left for the grower.

LONDON, Sept. 21.—The Westminster Gazette In-an article on international conditions says Germany has not proclaimed a moratorium and is proud of the fact. Instead, it haa adopted financial measures entailing considerable risks. German business ia transacted on a cash margin, which to the" English mind appears danger- ously narrow, but under pressure her war credit Is being enormously In- Elated. ■ In the first place the banks are doing everything possible for their customers and it is quite probable that owing to the great number of Binnll banka In Germany advances to firms of good standing have been made more rapidly than has proved feasible ia England. Secondly, a war credit bank has been set up which has the power to advance $.175,000,000 upon securities. Thirdly, full scope has been given to local initiative everywhere through- out Germany and credit banks are projected or are being established with the Idea of helping the small man and capitalist. The amount of credit which the banks are prepared to advance Is amazing. At Frankfort, for .example, It is proposed that credit to the amount of 10,000,000 marks shall he advanced on cash deposits of one- twentieth of that sum. A cash basis of 5 per cent is extraordinarily flimsy, especially when the securities offered for the remainder are inconvertible. Tlio experiment is only possible he- cnusG the German mind, ub revealed in tlie German press up till 10 days ago, was full of confidence owing to the advance of the army In France. Tho whole edifice of credit may collapse under defeat. Great as these facilities are, however, they are universally felt to be Inadequate, Firms doing a foreign trade are said to be the worst offenders in borrowing. Their defense ia that tliey are also the worst sufferer**.. But their pressure is greatly resented and tho German papers are full of protests against demands for cash passed at meetings of Industrial associations.

BOER GENERAL- GIVES RESIGNATION General Smuts in Reply Points Out That Fair Weather Loyalty Means Humiliation (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sopt. 21.—Brig.-G-en. Christian Frederick Beyers, commandant-general of the South African de fenso force, has resigned his post bts- cause of his disapproval of tho actioi of Great Britain ln sending coiln tnandoes to conquer German South west) Africa. Tho official press bureau tonight gave out the text of the letter of resignation of Gen. Beyers and the reply of Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, mlniw- ter of finance and dereuse of tbie South African union, Gen. Beyers reminds Gen, SmuUs that In August he disapproved of tWe sending of commandoes (forces Qf Boer troops) to conquer German Southwest Africa, and expresses surprise that parliament confirmed the resolution of the government to conquer the German territory without any provocation to the union by the- Germans, He Insists that a majority of the Dutch people in the union disapproved 0? crossing the Gorman frontier. (Referring to a statement that Great Britain had taken part in the European war for the sake of rights of justice and In order to protect the independence of smaller nations and to comply with treaties, Gen. Beyers points to tho resignation of two British ministers as evidence that a "strong minority cannot be convinced o,' the righteousness of war with Germany." As to the protection of smaller nations, Gen. Beyers says: , "I have only to indicate ; how the Independence of the South African republic and of the Orange Free State was violated-.and of what weight the Sand river convention was. "It is said this war is being waged against the barbarity of the Germans. I have forgiven but not forgotten all tho barbarities perpetrated on our Doctor Special IS THE BOOT FOR WET WEATHER Made in nice pliable leathers and flexible to the foot. Insures dry feet.

Gen. Beyers denies that the Germans invaded South African union territory and declares: "If they did, tho Dutch and British would fight side by side in its defense," and that he would gladly lead them. Gen. Smuts in his reply to the letter or resignation says that all the plans for operations against German Southwest Africa were made in consultation with Gen. Beyers and that his suggestions were largely carried out. "Your bitter attack on Great Britain," Gen. Smuts says, "not only is entirely baseless but most unjustifiable coming, as It does, in the midst of a great war. "Your reference to barbarous acts during the South African war cannot justify the criminal devastation of Belgium and can only be calculated to sow hatred and division among the people of South Africa." Gen, Smuts refers to the freedom given South Africa by Greut Britain, "which allows you to write a letter for which you would without doubt be liable, in tlie German empire, to tlie extreme penalty. The minister goes on to say that the coast of the South African union i3 threatened, thut mail boats have been hold up and that Us borders hava been Invaded, and concludes by saying: "I cannot conceive of anything more fatal and humiliating than a life of lojalty in fair weather and a policy of neutrality and pro-German sentiment iu days of storm and stress." STATES TO SEIZE RADIO STATION Alleged Unneutral Message From British Cruiser Is Cause of Trouble for Company. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The government is expected to take over -tomorrow tho control of the Mhrcorol station at Siascorisett, Mass., the most Important of the Marconi) wireless stations operating- under a United States license. This Information was received from Washington- tonight, where it was said Secretary Daniels would take this notion as the result of the failure of President J.'W, Griggs of the wireless company to reply -to a letter mailed him by Secretary Daniels on Saturday. Alun-t threo weeks ago Secretary Daniels telegraphed Mr, Griggs and asked for an explanation of the transmission of alleged unneutral messages from tho cruiser Suffolk, pointing oul that the transmission seemed to be a clear ease of vio,Iaitlon of tho neutrality of the government, Mr, Griggs replied- on Sept. 0 saying that "there was nothing In- the message or the circumstances under which it was received to take it out of the ordinary provisions of the loiw of this cquatry," nn<l ho added that In the event tho secretary differed With the Marconi company as to the law Involved in the matter, "we shall welcome any legml action that will decide which of us 1» correct." In tho letter Saturday Mr. Daniels again asked for an explanation of the transmission of the massage ttrojm the British cruiser Suffolk to a*n address in New York city and Mr. Griggs ■was told that unless the Marconi company co-operated freely with the navy department in the enforcement o'f the neutrality regulations it would be necessary to, order the clo.sing- of the station. Mr. Griggs was* Informed tonight.of the news from Washington, lie was nt his homo In Paterson, N. J., and Bald over the telephone that it was tho first .he had heard of the matter. 'Mo said he had received Secretary l">aniols' letter Monday but had not bad tlm(. t(> answer It Ho seemed f»ytrprised when told the station probably would be seized tomorrow. .Secretary Daniels was not In Washington tonight but will re* turn tomor- ronv and the Marconi controversy will bo, immediately brought to hlg attention hy naval officials. It was said tonight by nfival officiant that Mr. Daniels would not hesitate.- to seize the station. LONDON, Ont., Sept. 21.—Bev. S. R. tfeakes, recently assistant rector of Ctonyn memorial church, this city, has loft for Levis to join the Princess Prtiioia regiment as chaplain. Rev. Mr, Poakes was formerly a prominent mining; engineer in northern Ontario. of the Nelson and District Women's Institute, -heartily endorsing ,the movement and quoting a resolution of approval of the 'project which had been passed by the institute some tlwie ago. Thb letter referred to the oriental aspect of the case and to the necessity at co-operation -u'mon-g' the cltizena fn helping th6 ranchers, particularly those whet were struggling for a living while tholr orchards were coming into bearing and were almost entirely dependent upon the productt of the soil, J. W. Holmes, T. Munro Cairns of Willow Paint,*' William Ebbs and W. H. Mohr were among the other members of the delegation who addressed tho council on the advisability 0f at least giving 'the proposition a fair experiment In the city. They reviewed the success of the public -markets in o;tiher communities and- were to a lurge extent supported by Ma'yor Malone and Aldermen Horswlll, Stark n,nd Leith. Civic Officials to Aid. Mayor Malone stated that It had been brought to his notice that there were families in the city, the members of whioh were bordering on destitution owing t0 the unemployment of their breadwinners. Such conditions, ho stated, were InoroaiSing and ho thought -might Iflurther increase beforo the winter was over. He felt that tho council should take some steps tq rellm-e the situation. It had been stated' that a movement was on fool whereby io per cent of the salaries ol all civic employes receiving over ?50 per month should be set aside as a fund for the relief of destitution*, it was suggested that If such action were taken that the fund should- not be applied to charity B0 much as to provide funds to carry on work In the city for those who required it. Tlhe matter was left over until the next meeting of -the council for further -discussion. The bylaw postponing until next year the tax sale ojt lands- cf delinquent taxpayers up till the end of 1912 which should be held this yea*r was given Its first three readings by the council and will be finally considered nt the next meeting. Public Works Progress. W-n-rk is progressing satisfactorily with the grading of Silica street from Josephine to Hendryx streets, according to the report of tho city engineer. The subgrade is practically colhpleteu amd the rock excavation at the Intersection of HaH und Silica streets Is completed, lot) cubic yards -of rook having been excavated and broken. Up to date $988.80 has been spent on the work. Two catch basins a're being built at the south side of Vernon street al the Stanley street intersection and the footbridge across Cot-logwood creek at Carbonate street has been completed at a cost of $57.20. A tile under-drain is being constructed on the west side of Josephine street, north of Curbqnatc to tako away the seepage. By resolution of the council Fred L. Irwin will, during the absence of TV*. E.

The worst that could happen to them after the war was that tney should be set free to live and- let live fairly and Justly. Peace Talk Diplomatic Move (By Dally News Lncsed Wire.) LON-DON, Sept. 21.—The British government Is not permitting itself to take much interest in the peace talk emanating from America at this time, being fully, convinced Mint it Is Idl* gossip started or Inspired by German diiplomncy, of which there Is infinite distrust. It was made clear today, however, that tho British government would respectfully receive and give serious consideration to any proposal looking toward peace, emanating1 from a sponsible, such as the president of the United States, or if Genmany itself mado through proper channels. But this does not In tlie least mean that England has abandoned -its fixed Idea of carrying on this wur to a finish which will make lasting peaco possible; It elmply means that England is in no way putting Itself Into n ppsi* tion of responsibility for continuing •t)he war, whlcfji responsibility, o" olala hero think, Germany Is trying to fix upon it by the present irresponsible and unofficial agitation, This Is nn authentic presentation of England's attitude, although the gov ernment Is not ready to mako any official statement in refutation of what aro termed German;made rumors or In answer to Count von Bcrnstorff's statement. All the allies are represented ns considering peaco talk futile at this time, ■being fully confident of ultimate victory and feeling that a finish figty alone will guarantee future peace. Supremely Beautiful Is the New Millinery in Shape and Trimming . Barbarians Spared Reims Cathedral, Which Germans Have Destroyed •—Protest Against Outrages (By Daily News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—An organized protest of the architects and art tovers of the world against the action of German soldiers lu destroying the historic Reims cathedral, where all the newly crowned French kings from Clovia to tiho last crowned Bourbon passed In review, was thc suggestion today of Thomas Hastings of this city. Mr. Hastings' mood was that of perhaps every architect In tho city, certainly of all of those seen in reference to tho buttering down of bhe beautiful church. "The knocking down of a rare and beautiful monument that belonged to lhe world, that belonged to Germany as much as to France, that belonged to us, to all nations that revere and worship beauty—why, that Is vandalism gone- Insane," said Mr. Hastings. "Notre Dame at Reims had stood for 700 years, stood through all the wars that raged about it. By the soldiers of tho middle ages, barbarians so- called, that church had been respected, had been spared. "It remained for German nrmy officers, men supposed to be cultured, to havo high appreciation of the -beauties of art and all the flue things civilization has wrought, to do this ruthless deed." Commission Visits Montreal (By Dnily News Loosed Wire.) . OTTAWA, %p\ 21.—ift| wttS announced today by Maurice. Goor, Belgian consul, that the Belgian commission which hns been at Washington protesting against tho German atrocities Will spend Thursday in Montreal and will leave the following day for Chicago. Consul Goor will meet the commission and endeavor to persuade them to make a more extended visit to Canada at a later date. Italy Indignant, ROMI-], Sept. 21. -The indignation aroused by the news nf lbe Germain attack on Reims cathedral surpasses anything felt since the beginning of the war. Italy has so many precious historic spots that the public sympathizes witli the horror and rage of France. The press Is unanimous In condemning what takes the complexion of an ia-ct of revenge for recent defeats and professes lts inability to understand ibow a country which seems to desire the respect of neutral nations should countenance deeds which do Germany no good and cause Germans t0 be regarded with antipathy, ut least. Destruction Deliberatn. (By Daily News Leased Wlro.) PARIS, Sept. 21.—By G. H. Perris— The serious bombardment of Reims began Saturday, being chiefly directed from German batteries plated on ithe side of the "bl French fort on the hil! of Nogont L'Abbes.se. This position stands barely six miles from the centre (if the city to the east and the church buildings would be clearly visible through field glasses so that-there can be no question of accident, either on Pridny a-tftenioon or early Saturday morning. Tiie town hall, a fine building In Louis XIII style, dating frnm 1680, Is a mass of ruins. The museum is also a mass of ruins and contains pictures by Carot, Dau-bney and other misters. The hotel dieu hospital, the e-Ub- prefecture, and some other ancient houses of the town were also destroyed. I will only add one comment to tbo grievous story, It is that of Maurice Barref, eminent rih-ct'onni*y: "At lewst," he says, "the shells have not fallen nti our battalii-ns. 0ur brothers and sons, our defenders, perl-sb the marvels of French genius rather than that genius itself, Let the mos' beautiful stone be destroyed rather than the blood of my race a'l this moment.

Although the old steamship Germanic was for many years a favorite with travelers on tlie Atlantic in view of the feeling aroused in Great Britain by the war it is considered Inadvisable to have a liner under the BrltlBh flag called Germanic, sailing out of Liverpool, The recent loss of tho second Oceanic off the north coast of Scotland gives the directors the opportunity to hand down the name to a third liner. It Is expected to be launched at Belfast next March. DONALDSON LINE TO SCOTLAND, LOW RATES; GOOD SERVICE.

(By Daily Nows "Leased Wire.) ■NEW YORK, Sept. SI.—In the ab* iBence of more definite developments Wall street discussed with much gratification today the decision of the interstate commerce commission to reopen the 5 per cent advance freight irate case and the approval by the -federal reserve board of the ¥100,000,000 gold.ftind, The action of the Interstate commerce commission waB accepted as evidence of greater leniency fby the government toward the railroads, while the endorsement of the 'gold pool plan carried indications of a ■better understanding between the ■banking Interests and the trade. : Foreign exchange was again influenced to a great degree by the success of the New York city loan and the $100,000,000 pool, with the preliminaries o{ the latter well under ■way. Sight drafts on London opened down a cent on the pound sterling. with a like decline In cables, but both recovered later on an increased demand for grain bills on London and , Purls. Exchange on Paris was again handled by way of the British metropolis and some cotton bills on Berlin were negotiated via Amsterdam. The western money position continues strong but railway traffic Is - on the decline, a condition wholly attributable to the European crisis. Expansion of enterprises is being purposely checked by hankers, who are impressing the necessity of retrench- n*.ent in all lines of business. Despite the smaller tonnage grain movements aro close lo the average for this period of the year, while general merchandise shows some gains. It Is in live stock that the movement has mainly fallen off. On the surface the local money market shows ah easier tendency, but rates still hold at 7 to 8 per cent. The supply was larger, however, but last week's increased decline ln cash reserve acted as a partial check. There was an-abundance of call money in the -London market, where the 3 per cent rate continued for pre- moratorium bills. Private cables reported a large oversubscription of the German war loan with a gain in the specie reserves of the Imperial bank of Germany. DAILY NEWS CLASSIFIED AD.

White * (By Dally NeWH Leased Wire.) ■GANONOQUE^Ont., Sopt. 21.—ilun. W. T. Whfltc, minister of finance, spoke before t-he-^pard of trade this after- npon on the war from a Canadian's .point of view. . Mr. Whito said It was remarkable I that pat-sin*; events did not seem to make any Impression on Canadians; they failed to realize the magnitude i 'of tho diplomatic negotiations in which nations- had been engaged during the few -days before the war. Dealing with tho negotiations between nations prior to the outbreak of -hostilities, the, minister said Sir Edward Grey wouM take a place in history as on0 of the grea-tcst foreign 'itooretarles Great Britain had ever had, If not tho greatest1. Nothing was clearer -than that Great Britain's hands In this contest air(. absolutely clean, -*, In conclusion thc minister snld Canadians would meet whatever stress or struggle lies before them. • "I am sure Canada will respond to tho call of that -duty," hB said, "the Avny may be long but We have only to tin-dura to conquer and at tho end honor and victory will be found." '- Hon. Mr. White spoke of the almost complete cessation In the flow of money. Canadian caution had met the situation by prompt con-traction iiml panic had been avoided. ft* He hud talked with representatives of provinces, of municipalities nnd of railroad and othor corporations, and thoy were all of the same view, not to close down construction, nor yet to attempt to carry out the full program they had planned but to hike lhe middle course and this, he 'believed, was -being genorally adopted. Construction programs should so bo revised as to give the greatest amount of employment for the funds available. While interest markets wer© at present closed, -borrowing no doubt, although on a much reduced scale, would bo possible litter and increased thrift on tho part of the public would lio a material factor in furnishing hew national capital. The spirit with which thc Cunndlan community had met the situation was wholly adminiible. .Readjustment was It-iking place favorably and the out look was distinctly promising. Many industries had suffered but the first and worst effects would pradually wear away, Others huve been greatly quickened and stimulated. The higher prices for grains und other agricultural products would more thun neutralize this year's shortage In amount. For tho future agricultural production should be Immensely stimulated. Rov.

(By Dally Nows Leased Wlro.) ■ OTTAWA, Sept. ,21.—Tho Agricultural Journal, the official organ of tho agricultural department, contains another stirring appeal to the farmers oi Canada from Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture, to raise foodstuffs. The minister says: "Approximately 20,000,000 men have 'been mobilized in Europe. A large proportion of these have been withdrawn from the farms. Even in neutral countries large numbers of food producers have been called from the land to be ready for emergencies. It ts difficult for us to realize what will be the effect on food production through the withdrawal of several million men from all the great agricultural countries of Europe. "The millions cease to be producers, they have become consumers; worse still, they have become destroyers of food. "The area*to ibe sown to wheat and ryo this fall in Europe will be seriously reduced. Should the war continue into the summer of next year tho food production in Europe cannot approach that of normaf years. "Looking at the situation In even Its most favorable light there will be In 1915 a demand for food that the world will find great difficulty in sup* plying, Canada Ib responding promptly to the call of the motherland for man and equipment. "Britain needs more than men; it must have food—food this year aud next year. We are sending our sur plus now. We should prepare for a larger surplus next year, The government is strongly Impressed with the desirability of increasing the crop acreage in Canada. Growers of fall wheat should endeavor to Increase their sowing. The Canadian farmer, earnestly bending nil his energies to increase the food supply for the British people at home aud the British soldiers at the front, is doing his share in the gigantic struggla of thc Mm pire. "Apart Trom the practical certainty that wheat and other foods next year will bring large financial returns, there is the great fact that Canadian farmers who by extra effort enlarge their wheat and other crop acreages and Increase their live stock production will be doing the best thing possible to strengthen the Empire in its dav of trial.'1 May $1,18%.

FIGHT 18 FIERCEST Casualties Slow part British Army Leaders Are Playing—People Patiently Await News. (By Dally News Lowed Wire.) 'LONDON, Sept. 21, S ]..m.—Tho. patience with which the Hrltish people await news from their army is as renin rkahlo as tt la unexpected. Tliey know thnt the British troops have boon engaged for a week in a terrible battle, which is the culmination of all the fighting and which has gone on, with two or threo 'brief respites, since Aug. 23. They know that the little British armv has held the post of the hardest fighting throughout anc. that the next roll of casualties will ibe heavy. Yet thev appear to recognize that inexorable military necessity Imposes upon them theso days of,suspense and from tho news- nnpers and the public little complaint Is heard. The last official report revealing any details of the British operations was published last Thursday night. That report was not Ion,* and dealt for the most part -with scattered incidents of Field Marshal Sir .Tohn French's advance against the German fight wing. It dropped thc curtain upon the events of Sept. 14. The later official reports have heen torse bulletins which enabled the newspapers only tn draw fresh lines on their mans showing the progress of the battle front. These bulletins havo merely announced accomplished moves in the war game, like cabled reports of an International chess match. Secrecy Absolutely Necessary. The government has made the country understand that the requirements of secrecy overshadow all other considerations and that -the officers of tht* staff have no time to spare for writing descriptions of engagements. Correspondents hovering in the v.ako of the armies send descriptions of fragments of the battle they havc been able to see and stories from the wounded. The sum of their Impressions is that the past week's battle exceeded in violence and stubbornness anything In modern history since .the struggle at Port Arthur. There nre stories of charges unoquuled in the annals of British arms since Bala.- klava and the casualty lists, whicli filter through slowly day by day, confirm tho reports wliich otherwise might 'be taken aB un exaggeration or excited reporters getting their first glimpse of war. Officers Suffer Heavily. Tho part that British officers arc playing is illustrated by the bare testimony oi the casualty lists. Seven hundred and, ninety-seven officers are among the killed, wounded and missing, which Is a percentage out of all proportion to the losses in the ranks. One hundred and thirty officers have been killed, 388 injured and 12!) are missing. Many of the missing profo* Among the Gifts That Last diamond jewelry is pre-eminent.
