Night after -night, dny after lay, attacks and counter-attacks are icing delivered and met with a hardy ravery by both sides. All the great sacrifices made liy the [German troops have proved futile but .still the Invaders continue despite the ""act that they are encountering re- jglstance which moro than equals their pwn hardihood. Whenever the allies iaVe given* way at any point in the Ijfleld they have recaptured the lost ■territory quickly, wherever t'hey ad-: V*»nce they maintain their position. The allies have occupied tbe village ■of Passchenbael, 11 miles northeast of Ypres, after terrific fighting ns a re* suit Of which the Germans were fore- led to leave their trenches by the British, who took many prisoners, according to officers arriving from the front. Fierce fighting In the neighborhood of Lens and Arras continues.

LONDON, : Nov. 2.—The Germans continue to batter on the allies' lines their endeavor to get through to ,:he channel coast. They thus far hove found every *oad blocked to them but, apparently l/disregardlng losses, they continue to Ihttnck. The floods, the Belgian army ,ind the British fleet having barred heir way southwestward along the -oast, the Germana are now striking in a line stretching from Ypres, In ielglum, to La Bassee, farther south, n France, ibut seemingly with no nore success. The stubbornness of ho fighting along this line may be lathered from the fact that the (own )f Messines, which tho Germans now iccupy, has been taken and retaken tour times since last Suturday, each I me with enormous losses in killed br wounded. Attacks' also have been ifnade along the entire 'battle front as i far cist as the Vosgest region, but, according to the French report, with the Germans having no more success than Jn the northwest. Tho belief ls growing here, and It has also been expressed by those returning from Belgium, I'hdt the Germans are making a last effort to get through to the coast and thut If It fails they will fall back to positions which they have prepared In central Belgium.

In foot, the chief complaint con tlnuos to be that lhe quota whicli is to be supplied by the various divisions and districts Is fur too small. This Is especially true of the west and of Toronto. It is-hrtpod that the war office Instructions will advocate the enlistment, of other units which will In some degree fill tbe demand. A3 soon as the Instructions have been approved here orders for the organization of the other Units will go forth and it Is expected the division will bo ready by December. Troops will be equipped with clothing and rifles at divisional and district headquarters so that when they concentrate at the point of embarkation they will be ready to depart as fast as equipment is ready and is sent to headquarters for distribution. It is considered probable, in view of the situation which has developed In tho Far East that some Canadians may see service in Egypt. The rooent massing of Turkish troops In the vicinity of that country may *be the causo of drawing certain units thither.

Inglis, accused of espionage, the defense indicated thut It did not phm to call any mure witnesses. The prisoner again appeared guarded hy a military escort with fixed bayonets.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) VIENNA, Nov. 3, via Amsterdam and London, 3:12 a.m.—The following official announcement was made here today: "On the Russian-Turkish frorii tier near Trebizond battles have been commenced between Russian and Turkish troops," (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Nov. 2, 10:15 p.m.—The grand vizier of Turkey has apologized 911 behalf of his government for the warlike operations of the Turkish fleet under German commanders In the Black sea, but it was said authoritatively this evening that the porte will have to go much farther than this before tiie powers of the triple entente will agree to resume rriendiy relations with the Ottoman government. It was disclosed In a statement Issued by the French government this evening that Turkey, in reply to a noto presented by Britain, Russia and France on Friday last, agreed to recall her fleet from the Black sea but not to dismiss the German officers from her ships, and as it was believed she could not maintain a passive attitude without doing this the ambassadors of the entente powers demanded their passports and left Turkey. There is reason to believe, despite the apology of the grand vizier, which It is understood comes from the peace party in the Turkish cabinet •and may not be adhered to by Enter Bey, the minister of war, and his Young Turk followers, France, Great Britain and Russia will demand not only reparation for the warlike operations ol' the Turkish fleet in the Black sea, hut will Insist that Turkey's en- tiro rieet, or at least the cruisers Goeben and Breslau, be put out or commission until alter the war, Turkey's security being guaranteed in the meantime. Long Way From Peace. It is suggested nlso that deiiiohili*/,;*. tion or the Turkish army would be demanded, which would mean that those troops which have crossed the Egyptian frontier must he, withdrawn, However, as the terms of Turkey's apology, which apparently was made in Loudon, have not been published and must be considered by the entente powers before the apology Is accepted or refused, there seems to be a long way to go before diplomatic relations between the Ottoman government and the allies can be resumed. An added difficulty to the situation is that the ambassadors of the powers have left Constantinople, which will make it troublesome to ascertain whether the whole Turkish cabinet concurs in any agreement reached. Meantime a report comes from Constantinople of the seizure of another Russian steamer and also that Bulgaria, which had been asked to choose the side on which she would fight, and commenced to mobilize her second line of troops. The first line has been mobilized. Claims Allied Fleet Active. A Constantinople despatch via Vienna says: "According to reliable news nn Anglo-French fleet yesterday entered Tohesme bay, Asia Minor, about 40 miles west of Smyrna, where the small Turkish gunboat Berakreis and the Turkish steamer Kanili Adda were anchored. The commander of tho Turkish gunboat sank the steamer and blew up his own vessel to prevent their capture by the allied fleet."

LONDON, Nov. 2.—A despatch received here from Bordeaux by the Central News says: "The French government has Issued a statement saying that the Turkish government, in reply to a note of the triple entente powers, confined itself to proposing the recall of Turkish warships in the Dardanelles and expressed 11 desire to remain at peace with Russia, France and Great Britain os well as with Germany. But in default of the dismissal of German officers in the Ottoman service the governments of tho triple entente could not hope that Turkey would be able to maintain the passive attitude which she offered to adopt. Did Not Dismiss Germans. "The Ottoman government, not having thought it its duty to dismiss the German officers, the mark of sincerity or its intentions which was required, the ambassadors of France, Russia and Great Britain, in co-ifoMi* ity with the instructions of their governments, demanded their passports from the grand vizier and left Turkey.

The White Star liner Olympic escaped disaster by pure good luck and but for warning given by British cruisers other British and neutral merchants and passenger vessels would have been destroyed. These mines cannot have ibeen laid by any German ship of war. They have been laid by somo merchant vessel flying a neutral flag, which has como along tho trade route as if for purposes of commerce and, while profiting to the full by the immunity Insured to neutral merchant ships, has wantonly and recklessly endangered thi- lives of nil who travel on the sua. "In these circumstances, having regard to the great interests entrusted to the British navy and to the safety of peaceful commerce on the high seas and to the maintenance within the limits of International law of trade between neutral countries, the admiralty feels it necessary to adopt exceptional measures, appropriate to the novel conditions which this war Is being waged under.

NEW RULING AFFECTS TIMBER INTERESTS As a result of the ruling just promulgated by the United States customs officials an ad valorem duty of 15 per cent hns been Imposed on a large number of lumber items which have for months been entering the States duty free from Canada and the situation affecting the timber industry in this province has been further complicated. Inasmuch as the new order is the result of a decision by the assistant attorney-general at Washington, who has overruled the opinions of the customs department and the board of customs appraisers at New York, it is probable that the provincial government will bring the matter to the attention of the department of trade and commerce at Ottawa. The customs appraisers, In a case originating in New York State, held that under the new tariff all the lumber In question should be udmltted free, These rulings have now, apparently, been set aside and Instructions issued to collect a 15 per cent valorem duty.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 CUTS OFF NICKEL SUPPLY FROM EMPIRE'S FOES. The Dominion government has decided to Ijrolilbit the export of nickel from Cannda except to the United States and is making arrangements to prevent any of the Canadian metal which is reduced in tlie refineries of that country from reaching the countries with which the British Empire Is at war. Ry taking tills action the Dominion cabinet has cut off from Germany, Austria and Turkey one of the only two sources of supply of nickel, which Is an essential to the construction und equipment of the most .effective warships. Outside of Canada the only nickel mines are in the French possession ot New Caledonia, trom which the powers at war against the allies certainly are not securing any of the metal. * r+ THE EGYPTIAN SITUATION. Now that Turkish aggression threatens to make Egypt once again tiie scene of warfare it is Interesting to recall that for practically three centuries the sultan ruled over that portion of Africa and that even today the government which Is headed by a khedlve, who is appointed subject to British approval, annually pays to Constantinople a tribute of about 5:1,000,000. When the Roman possessions m ..".7 were divided into the eastern and western empires Egypt became a province of the former and sank deeper and deeper into barbarism and weakness. A little more than^.ioo" years later it became the prey of the Sacra- cens, who were overthrown In 1240 by the Mamelukes. Under these des pots Egypt's last remaining early greatness disappeared. Eventually in 15l(i and 1517 Sultan Selim of Turkey conquered Hie last of the Mameluke rulers and Egypt became a Turkish province, governed by a pasha The Mamelukes continued to carry on at intermittent Intervals war and It was not until 1798 thut the French invasion, headed by Napoleon, united tho Egyptians against a common enemy. The French, smashing the Egyptian army at the bailie of the Pyramids, conquered the whole of Egypt and held it until ISOl when the British, headed by Ahercromble and Hutchinson, drove out the French armies. On tbe defeat of the French the Ottoman porte effectually urged its claim to sovereignty and when the Albanian soldier, Mohammed All, became pasha In 1800 a galvanic pros- • polity was imparted to Egypt and the turbulent element among the Mamelukes was mercilessly exterminated, a regular army was formed, improvement was made to the irrigation systems and Ihe elements of European civilization wero introduced. In 1851 Said Pasha, the youngest son ot All, succeeded to the pashalle of Egypt and gave de I.essops his approval of the Sue/, canal scheme. Said wub succeeded In 1863 by his son, Ismail, Conditions of tbe finances of Egypt led to the establishment in 1875 of dual control of Great Britain and Franco uud four years later Ismail was forced by the two powers to abdicate In fuvor of his son, Tewfik. In 1882 came the uprising headed by Arabl. pasha, the massacre at Alexandria In which many Europeans were killed, and single control by Britain. Fiance refused to interfere and Great Britain took action and the bombard* ment of Alexandria brought about the retirement of the 'rebels. Three months later Wolseley crushed the uprising ot Tel-el*Keblr. In 1892 Tewfik (tied and wns suc ceeded by his son, Abbas Hllinl, tho seventh viceroy and third khedlve of Egypt. 1 It was in 1S0G that Kitchener led the Anglo'Egyptian expedition which by victories at Atbara and Omdurmnn brought about tlie recapture, of the Sudan, which had been given up after Gordon fell at Khartum. Britain hns retained Its control of Egypt and tbe Sudan since the bombardment of Alexandria, although the Fashoda Incident, which marked an attempt by France to enforce a claim to tho Blue rlvor valley, led to some rrlctioti. Great Britain appoints a governor- general and commander-in-chief and the officers of the Egyptian standing army of 18,100 men are partly British and partly native. The British army of occupation in normal times is 5,000. Enormous advantages have accrued to the fellahfn or peasant class as a result of British government and finance, one of the most notable works which have been carried out for the benefit of tbe farmers having been the harnessing of the Nile by the construction of the great dams at Assuan and Asyut, a work which was accomplished by Lord Cromer and Lord Kitchener during their terms as governor-general, By moans of 'those dams the overflow of the Nile, which fertilizes the soil and makes the raising of crops possible, is being controlled.

It is but natural that every member or tiie Canadian contingents should desire to he sent lo the battle front in France, Belgium and Germany, but the volunteer who may be ordered from England to Egypt, to Bermuda, to the Far East, to India or to any other quarter of the globe where British soldiers are needed should not feel any undue disappointment The volunteer who carries out garrison duty or that of guarding a frontier is serving bis Empire and ls representing Canada as honorably as the man who is ordered to join the allies' armies in Europe. If some of the Canadian regiments are sent to Egypt they arc likely to seo plenty of fighting, unless Turkey backs down, but in any event they Will be doing their work for their country in tiie manner which Kitchener and the war office havo decided is most valuable under existing conditions. Another point that should not be lost sight of is that many of the regiments whicli in tlie early part of the war are employed for purely defensive duty will receive training which will fit them later on to take part in the struggle in Europe, the duration oE which can only be guessed at. the total annihilation of the British empire',; It should bo remembered that tho Germans boasted that they would bo In Paris In two weeks and announced for years that the day war was declared they would wipe out the British fleet.—Journal of Commerce. •> .4&Q&99$Q&99994-fri>444-44'Z>9$4>* [♦ 9 4 COLD STORAGE, $ 9 4 94^444444>4>f44A-t hrrt~i44444$ "Why aro you so surprised to see me?

ANNE H. BOSS Hume School, Nelson, Nov. 2. PRESTON BLAMES LORD STRATHCONA W. T. R. Preston Expresses His Views on Inception of Canadian Pacific Railway (Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON, Nov. 2.—Evelelgh Nash publishes today "The Life and Times *tf Lord KlraUicona," by W. T. R, I'reslon, u well known former official .*r the Dominion government, An alternative title for the book might appropriately have been "How the Canadian Pacific Railway Came Into Being," for a goodly portion of the volume deals exhaustively with ihe inception of this undertaking and considerable space is also devoted to the Hudson's Bay company's deeper influences on tbe west. The author betrays no hesitation whatever in saying what he thinks concerning both theso corporations and the prime directors thereof and has plenty of observations regarding their effect upon the political llf,. of Canada. 'While full credit Is given to Lord Btratncohu's strength, character, foresight and charming personality, the author conlraHlw his career with thai of the other master empire "builder, Cecil Rhodes, finding "there is little to compare but much to contrast, nol only In their early but In their later careers." Ue goes on lo pay tribute to Hon Clifford Sifton as "the man respon Bible for the only successful Immigration propaganda." Ho speaks of Sir Wilfrid Laurler and Sir Robert Borden as statesmen representing the highest aspirations ot political purity and respecting whom not a breath of scandal has touched their careers. The. author foresees an agitation of western farmers demanding to be relieved of the heavy burden now endured by either cancellation ot loans to rivul lines of tin- Canadian Puciflc railway or the purchase of these railways by the country. Finally, Mr. Preston has changed the usual formula us to what Canadu owes to Lord Strathcona Into what Lord Strathcona cost Canada. He alleges that If Donald Smith had never appeared on the political "horizon, Canada would now own the entire rallwuy systems In the east and uq area of prairie land doubl* the size pf Ireland would never have been given away for nothing. He predicts thatfmore than one government wilt be rtcfeited before .w«Sfit*&rii farmers will secure their freedom, ACROSS LAND AND SEA (By Gerald S. Rees.) We are. "Homeward bound." Only a few short days ago and !l Limited train, speeding along an imperial highway, has safely carried us across tho rolling foothills; across the undulating plateaus, Interspersed with occasional woods and smiling sunbathed valleys. The quickly moving panorama has revealed the far-Flung fenceless prairies with their league long furrows, quietly resting after the fruition, of a bountiful harvest and gather- lug strength for the mighty task of a year to come when once again the Increase will be governed to provide sustenance for Britain's son In the arduous duty which lies ahead of them, which shall bring in "The Day" when the pagan spirit of Amalek shall be broken and a righteous triumph dawn. In many a home town at this time multitudes of thankful people raise the songs of "Harvest Home," but the dread shadow of the war spreads Its sinister wings over our lives Stark nnd unashamed, it becomes the darkest of dark backgrounds for life's dally scenes. Consciously or otherwise, all our perceptions are vividly affected by the news from the front. Along the shining track runs a government road. Along the road rides a solitary man—a trooper of Ihe Royal North- west Mounted Police. He is patroltng hlB section. As he trots along the sunlight is reflected In the shining buckles and brass ornaments of his equipment. We hear the faint jingle of bit and steel and admire the color contrast of scarlet tunic and the gold- en brown leaves of early autumn. This unconcerned Individual, going about "the King's business," is a concrete expression of our thoughts as we sit sunning ourselves In the luxurious, if expensive, comfort of a transcontinental train. In some manner we are able to visualize, In vivid colors, the battle scenes on tho wasted turnip meadows of gallant little Belgium and among the trampled grass and vine- clad hills of Alsace-Lorraine, where also the wasted harvest of golden grain is rain-drenched ln the lost fields of plenty. Imagination will enable us to change tho venue of the bloody strife and bring those who have "plowed the hoof of a ruthless invader" to garner their harvest of unutterable pain from this beautiful passing panorama of tho great northwest lands. Tho shallow gullies alongside tho track are filled with weary, earth-colored khaki forms, while ia tho middle distance deeply dug trenches gash and scar the stubble of the grain fields, offering but temporary shelter from Immediite annihilation. Soldiers In bluish-grey uniforms occasionally rise in dense masses, advancing to the attack to the shriek of tbe trumpets and guUerul cheers. A film of smoke where some peaceful farmer burns his clearing becomes tbe final sputtering volley of flame-spit bullets as the outposts retire before the advance guard of au invading host. Everywhere there are dead men, and thn country Is soaked In blood and planted with little wooden crosses. It is not so difficult to record the snarl of quick-firing guns and the growling notes of the heavier artillery. The quick cloud shadows, trailing low .and melting into the distant landscape half-veiled by u gauzy purple haze, give us the dense white balloons of smoke from exploding shells. FJeccy little coveys of death- dealing shrapnel shells hurtle their whistling bullets through tlie air. A dense column of sm<"ke on the line where earth and sky meet, marks the destruction of the aftermath of a bountiful harvest. Yes! but it might be the last record of the wanton destruction of some pillaged homestead, with loved ones lying lifeless on its threshold. Wheat laden wagons slowly wending their way elevator-wards become the belated units of a transport biden with precious supplies for famished fighting men. Others may be the life-saving carts which march under tho banner of .the lied Cross. A Canadian Pacific freight train, slow moving and enormous in its length, whistles Its way westward. Shall this not be a freighted troop train moving Its quota of red-trousered and heavy overcoiitcd soldiery to the firing line; sacrificial pawns oh a gigantic chessboard of the nations. These Idle thoughts of an unwillingly idle fellow liave tho intangibility of a dream, but may thpre bo no awakening to the actual reality before the sons or Britain overseas realize the peril at their gate and obey the call to service for their King, country and Empire. Less than 0,000 miles away, across land and sea, tbe future destiny of Britain— and that means the British Empire- is being determined on the battlefields of Europe. Can we not wake to the full realization of Its deepest meaning. At. their greatest ease on tho "Limited" are a number of Englishmen, who bear the unalterable marks of the old country In manner, Bpeeeh and clothing, and some carry 011 their faces the Indelible stamp of one-time service meri. A few have journeyed thus far from thc land of tho Southern Cross. Another is from the happy isles of mid-Puciflc, where be ordinarily spends a voluntary exile. He remarks apologetically, "A fellow must play the game, y'know." Others ure sons or the land of the maple leaf, content in their adopted choice. 'From rich Canadian wheatlands, Past maple, spruce and fir, Tbose young men hasten eastward To hurry back to her. Over the deep St. Lawrence, Across the ocean's foam, These men of pence turn Berserk 'Gainst the hand that strikes at 'Home."' They are all homeward' bound. The glamor of war does not dazzle their eyes, but the urge 'is in their blood. Their animating spirit Is the faith in service. In this spirit also have the sons of Canada gone forth to war. There has possibly come to them all the realization that the flag which hus braved for a thousand yearB the battle and the breews may yet come trailing home caked In the Berlin mud. "Your King und country need you." The beacon watchtlrea of old flamed this warning message around our cousts The wig-wagging signals of today, have carried the same message lo the four corners of the globe, This is the tocsinery which Ib bringing them homo from overseas. 'Come where the bugles of England Play Over tho hills and fur away." It may be a long, ,long way to Tipperary, but the drums have heat to quarters and. the clarion note of the bugle fs wafted clear arodnd the Empire, "From Darlen to Dover, from Burmah to Belgi'avla." The fraternity spirit Is more manifest than usual. Discussion ls on the one subject. Talk and thought revolve around the wains an all-compelling centre. This war has broken through many habits. It has shivered—pro tern.—the taciturnity of the traveling Englishman, unashamed to wear his heart on his sleeve. Yes, this is the real thing. God give us all the true courage and strong heart lo "play the game" as men. Some to drag their weary bodies in long marches along dusty highways; some with faces to the foe on the firing line; these will not be quite certain whether there will he another nightfall for them—It does not trouble them very much If they can get some bully beef and a biscuit, In such cade, 'the consideration of eternity can doubtless easily postpone Itself for the time being. Others, at some humble post, releasing a better man for the hardest InBk. As I write these lines there Is nought to greet the eye but an endlesB vista of rolling seas, but stay! Silhouetted on the sky on dim horizon there Is "a grey hull on a ,greyer sea." A triple line of smoke trails westward from the lofty funnels of a fighting cruiser. Even nt this distance the sheer lines of its hull convey the purpose of a lean strength, fashioned for pursuit of nn enemy. All is well, The policeman—one of the great patrol—is on Us beat along the King's highway. Hals off to the British navy! It is tills lonely power of tireless vigilance which is Its very genius. It goes clean through the grand fleet from the commander-in- chief to tlie youngest officer on the newest submarine. That lonely ship across the way is simply the lonely vigilance of the royal navy raised to its highest power and Is the supreme incarnation of that unsleeping solitude which becomes our "sure shield.'' We do not know ir a Trafalgar awaits on tho sea in this war, but we do know that our highest confidence Is justly placed in this our bulwark against the aggression of jealous enemies. The full price of admiralty must be paid and the price has been paid lu full, for, as our national ballard writer rhymes: "We havo fed our seas for a thousand years v And she calls us still unfed." The playing at war during time of maneuvers has become the real game at last, and the navy will "carry on" till the battleflags are furled and the war drums beat no more. The star of commerce shines us brightly as ever beneath the upheld trident of the fleet. Could you but seo the glor. of tho sunsets at sea tonight, It has shown us one of those mighty banners of crimson, gold and saffron that breaks from high right above the zenith and spreads its folds to the deep horizons of the sea. The sky Is ablaze with golden stars, as If thc angel, who usually places just one here and one there to lighten our darkness, has upset tiie whole basketful, or as if the vast canopy of twilight-shadowed blue is but a filmy veil pierced by the glory of heaven. During the long hours or darkness our siiip slips noiselessly along. Portholes are shaded, deck lights are obscured, our warrior of the sea, however, winks Its white eye in the so- called "blinker'* signals, hoists Its vertical strings of red und green lights in friendly conversation and keeps its wutch and ward, while our sailor in tho crow's nest slugs out, "Nothing to the north, nothing to the south, a starry night, and all's well." Tbe days are very much alike at sea, but over all Is the indefinable charm ol' idling Inactivity, broken only by tho recreation of shipboard and the alluring enjoyment of creature com forts. All have sent the rolling chorus of "Rule Britannia" across the waves in challenge to our foes and each heart, as "Annie Laurie'1 is sung, has recalled a different name. All too soon our portly captain will signal from the bridge to the engine room the call to "Stand by." Already the wfhlte -chalk ilieadlajids, glimmering ghostlike In the morning mists, have given us back the echoes of our shrieking siren. Already the breeze, blowing from off-shore, brings us the smell of the wholesome loam and tolls us that "tbe coastwise lights of Eng land bid us welcome back again." Several months ugo, steaming across the Mersey bar westward Ho! for the mountains of British Columbia, 1 stood on tbo deck of one of the crack liners plying across the north Atlantic. That ship is now a swift commerce destroyer under tbo white ensign. There was pointed out to me a granite monument fronting tlie seawall which raarquted tbe mud-stained river. In letters of gold the simple words "Stand by'* are engraved on Its base. Tills was the lust, signal from the bridge of the 11- futed Titanic to the engine room staff, und tlie monument stands us a nation's tribute to the gallant engineers who remained at the post ot duty while tho doomed ship slid beneath the cruel waters. "Stand by!" This then shall be the text for today's sermon. All around the British Empire today men and women, in and out of the King's uniform, are "standing by," though the names of the dead und wounded are coming In—a tragic list. Throughout the land there are countless Rachels weeping for their children. They will, and we will all "stand by" till the last bivouac, starred by the yellow twinkling watch- tires of a waiting army, shall be abandoned;' till the last "Cease fire" shall be bugle-blown over the graves of tens of thousands of fathers, husbands, sons and lovers of weeping women, and till the judgment day of this armageddon shall be brought to pass. And not till then shall the smoke of the battlefield pass away.

LONDON, Nov. 3.—Final details In connection with the lord mayor's show on Monday were settled at Guildhall yesterday when the mayor and sheriff's committee met. It Is announced that arrangements had been made with the war office for a military procession. The contingent is to consist of detachments of the city territorial units. In addition, the London Scottish will send representation and "J00 Canadians are to come from Salisbury plain. A strong body of sailors from the naval reserve brigade at the Crys-V tal palace will also be included. Among them will be some of those who fought at Antwerp. For the first time in the memory of the authorities at Guildhall the lord mayor will have no mounted escort. In the ordinary way the lord mayor is escorted by household cavalry. At the time of the Boer war a guard of yeomanry1 wns substituted, but this year It is probable that Ito cavalry at all will he available. Tho procession will follow the route to the courts of justice, returning by way of Charing Cross and the Embankment. Unusual precautions are being taken to render the banqueting hall safe. The temporary canvas anteroom which is erected In the yard is being made light proof. N0 ray of light will escape from the windows. The skylights have been darkened and the glass in the lower portion of the spire has been painted green. The ventilating windows which surround the gallery of the council chamber aro being covered ao as to admit air but preclude the emission of light, while a continuous watcli will be kept on the building from crypt to attic. # MAY DELAY CANADIAN HIGH TREASON TRIAL (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

NEW' YORK, Nov, 2.—'Further strength of the local money situation as seen In last Saturday's bank statement, with its fairly large excess of cash reserves, today resulted in an increase of offerings by banks for long time loans. There was virtually only ono rate—6 per centt-'hut borrowers evinced little eagerness to accept that figure, anticipating another reduction before long. ^Foreign exchange was more firm, Britain's revision of her list of contraband articles and tho Increased caution of marine Insurance companies being partly responsible for this, development. Cables and sight drafts on London were quoted at $4.9iy*, anil $4,90% respectively, easing off more fractions later. Cotton shipments, ns reported today, showed an enormous increase over thc. preceding- week. They wore, in fact, the largest since ttao rec, -t movement "began. Local hanks made their first payment, nhout $3,000,000, In gold certificates for- federal bank stocks today. In this connection It Is interesting to note that a large part of a big shipment* of gold bullion, which arrived from Denver to be converted Into coin, will bo used toward the further liquidation of this country's Indebtedness abroad.

The fact that several of the Independent manufacturers of steel nre known to bo working on their wage schedule for tho coming year lends plausibility to the rumors.

C., Nov. 2.—Scores of shareholders of tbe Dominion Trust company thronged the office of tbat defunct institution this afternoon to attend a meeting at which statements by the auditors who had lately been examining the books was presented. No official copy of tho auditor's report was given out for publication, Earlier In the day two rival petitions for appointment of a liquidator were presented In tho supreme court, but the matter was adjourned for a week. These two petitions arc for a public winding-up under court order, while tbe directors and a section nf the shareholders, of course, are anxious to have the O.K. of tbe eour.ls on a voluntary liquidation. There are assets nominally of $5,000,000 but practically nothing in liquid form. There Is a good deal of real estate and many first and second mortgages. The meeting passed O motion to move at once for voluntary, liquidation, which it wns alleged would avoid a forced sale of the assets, in which ease there might be nothing at all left for the shareholders. Thc liabilities are $2,000,000, including $800,000 to depositors. The auditor's examination, thc report ot which was presented today, was proceeding at the time of the tragic deat'h of the managing director, W. R. Arnold, three weeks ago, from a gunshot wound. At today's meeting It was stated that Arnold owed the company $114,000 and another state- ment was madc which appeared to Hhow that) he owed an additional $140,000. The embarrassment of the. company was much hurried by the failure of AIvo von Alvensleben, who Is stated to. have owed about, $1,250,000 lo tlie company. Alvensleben Is now living In Seattle. Von Alvensleben, who Is mentioned as being one of the largest debtors of th» Dominion Trust comuany, is a German y*"ho has been here a number of year's..

RELIEF MEASURES UNDER DISCUSSION Government Asked to Bar All Aliens From Entry to Dominion—Recruiting Aids, (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Nov. 2.—A large deputation representing various Montreal bodleB and the Canadian Union of Mu nicipalities waited upon the govern ment at noon today and discussed the question of alien unemployment and of unemployment generally. In addition to the local questions concerning Montreal, W. D. Llghthall, secretary of the Union of Canada Municipalities, discussed general questions of unemployment in Canada. Mr. Llghthall suggested that a commissioner be appointed to take a general census of unemployment throughout the Dominion. From such n census he believed certain simple suggestions might be made for a remedy. He produced a large number of telegrams from western mayors outlining the situation in various cities anl suggesting remedies. The following are some samples of those which were submitted: Mayor Baxter, Vancouver—There will be great distress in British Columbia during the next few months unless relief measures are taken. Should take local steps toward clearing some of Dominion government land and getting it under cultivation next year. N. R. Charlton, acting mayor of Cal gary—Question of unemployment is largely subject to local conditions. Government is big factor in dealing with this question. Alien labor problems, department of Immigration should enforce regulations strictly ns possible. Mayor Grey, New Westminster—Un- An Easy Way to Get Fat and be Strong . Tho trouble with most thin folk! who wish to gain weight is that the) Insist on drugging *thelr stomach ot stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following soma foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thlftnesi goes untouched. You cannot get fa until your digestive tract assimilate! the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new scientific discovery, It is now possible U combine into simple form the very elements needed by the digestive organ to help them to convert tood lnlo rich fat-laden blood. This master stroke ol modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh* builders. Sargol alms through its regenerative, re-constructive powers U coax *the stomach.un,i Intestines tr literally soak up the fattening element of your food "nd pass them Into lhe blood, where they arc carried to ever*, starved, broken-down cell and tlssui of your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazlhg transformation has taken place and yon notice bow your cheeks fill out, hoIIOwi about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Leading druggists of NelBon nnd vicinity have it nnd will refund your money IG you nre not satisfied, as per the guarantee found In every package.. Caution—While Sargol has given excellent results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia' and general stomach troubles .It should not he tnken by those who (do not wish to gain 10 pounds or rpore, You'll Need These RUBBERS Soon NEW STOCK OF RUBBERS, ALL STYLES AND SIZES, TO FIT ANY TOE OR HEEL ALSO FULL LINE OF MEN'S HEAVY RUBBERS—ALL AT ROCK BOTTOM PRICES—PLEASE COMPARE SOME SPLENDID VALUES IN BOYS' SCHOOL BOOTS Sizes 1 to 8 at $2.75 and J3.00 per pair YOUTHS' SCHOOL BOOTS Sizes 11 to 13 at (2.50 and J2.75 per pair Exceptional Value in School Boots Misses' School Boots, sizes 11—2 at $2.00, J2.50, »2.76 Girls' School Soots, sizes 8—10^ at $1.75, $2.00, $2.25 STYLE QUALITY VALUE HOLLAND BULBS OUR FLOWERING BULBS ARE GOING FAST. _PICK YOURS WHILE THE SELECTION IS COMPLETE WRITE FOR OUR REVISED PRICE LIST The Hudson's Bay Co INCORPORATED 1670 INCORPORATED 1670 employed problem needs urgent action.

Proposal of militia department to place large numbers of volunteers in training quarters, it' carried out, will relieve tbe situation. Mayor Harrison, Saskatoon—If the government would enlist another 500 men in Saskatoon it would dispose of the whole problem of the unemployed. Mr. Llghthall suggested the government should do all in its power to secure contracts from the allied countries in order that industries might be kept running. Sir George Foster, speaking for tlie government, declared thnt the administration accepted the duty Imposed upon it of looking after the question of hostile aliens. It had taken steps to do this and a plan waa being carried out. So far us the general question of unemployed was concerned, it must bo recognized that the municipality should first be held responsible and then the provinces In dealing with It. In aggravated or extreme cases, such as complete crop failure, the federal government had stepped tn. The deputation was promised consideration of all suggestions submitted. PROGRESS AGAINST GERMAN TROOPS (Continued from Page One.) most completely interrupted. Permits to leave Bruges are no longer given, but street, curs are stilt running and the German marine baud gives daily concerts in the market 'place.

"It Is reported," the despatch adds, that the allies yesterday occupied Leuffenham, on the Nleuport canal, which, if true, means that the Germans suffered a heavy defeat. A strong detachment of German troops, with heavy Austrian' guns and much war material, arrived at Bruges yesterday from Ghent. Fresh troops are going uninterruptedly to thu front."

"In the fighting in the Argonne some successful forward movements have been made and the enemy suffered severe losses.1' Germany still asserts that the tiltl- mato result will be in its favor. Emperor William, in addressing his regiments, said: "Under all circumstances the enemy will be beaten." It is stated officially here that the situation Is regarded as the most favorable for some time, although no new details are given. FIREMAN KILLED (By Dailv News Leasnd Wire.)
