PETROGRAD, Jan. 21.—The Russian advance along the east bank of the Vistula in Poland toward the Prussian frontier continues, It was officially reported .today, in spite of the German threat against the rear of the grand duke's army.

TKERS SHUT KASLO OUT fVHB Oef*at Upper take Team 7 to 0—Lo cats Show Good Speed—Visitors Hav« Hard Luck. Tho Tisera last night shut out the Wanderer hockey team of Kaslo. 7 to 0, Despite "the score the name waa fast and there was plenty of excitement to 'keep the fairly largo crowd on lts> toes all the time. The Tigers' played a great game and showed plenty of speed, but were kept busy holding the Kaslo boys from scoring aa (the latter were In the game all the time. Toward the end of the last period t'he visitors made rush afteP rush and only the sterling- work of the Tiger defenso and somo hard luck prevented the up-lake boys from scoring. They were gamo and worked hard until the whistle blew for time. The spaed of the local boys was a great factor in tho game and the back-checking of the forwards broke up the combination of the visitors and many times stopped fine rushes, Car-- ney was the shining light for Kaslo, ■burning up the Joe with his speed and he made several fine individual rushes, but nearly always came (to grief when he reached the Nelson goal. McKay and Dedolph were hard workers and with the rest of the forwards pulled off some good rushes, but did not seem to be able to negotiate. It would be hard to pick any member of the local team who starred over the others, as all wero good. Miller and Roe did somo great back-checking and this had a great deal to do with tho outcome of the game. The locals ulsed nine men during the game, switching whenever a player seemed to lag and thus the team was kept up to the highest degree of speed possible. Riley ln goal was as cool as a cucumber and pulled! off some saves that brought the crowd to Its feet several times Ogenskl netted tho first score of the game when ho chased ani opponent back of the Kaslo goal, took the puck from him and shoved it into the corner of the goal. The second enme from a face-off in front of the Kaslo goal. Carney tried to break through between tho two centres but missed tho puck which Miller slammed'in, two and a half minutes after the first one. This ended the scoring for the period. Mlllep opened the second period with a rush and scored in 15 seconds. Nelson's next two goals came from scrimmages In front of the net, Miller and Roe turning the trick. Miller and Roe got the last two goals in the final period In four and eight minutes. For the remainder of the period the Kaslo forwards spent tho greater part of the time in bombarding the Tigers* goal, punctuated with attacks on the visitors' goal by the local forwards.

ALLIES 0 WHOLESALE RETREAT Hlllalre Belloc Draws Conclusion; fie. garding Strategy Employed Against German Lines. (Rv Prilly News LoaSprl Wiro.) LONDON, Jnn. 21.—Hlllalre Belloc, writing in Land and Water ol the hat- tlo before Solssons, points out that thero Is a remarkable similarity between what happened there and ot Steinbach ln Alsace. He points out that a strong l'r;n & offensive was ordered with uo more than the troopB which had been on the spot against a particular section ot the German lino; that it succeeded and after a delay of 48 hours at Soissons and nearly tour days at Steinbach a large German reinforcomeut arrived and reversed the French attack. The German counter-offensiva, however, spent itself and could go no further. The. first conclusion drawn from the parallel is this statement: "The Germans, never knowing quite where the French are going to attack, are ln great peril at having their lu; broken wherever an attack on a considerable scale Is delivered. The; will not risk men, as yet at any rate, ln trying to recover the Initiative for themselves and In being the first to attack. They are thus compelled to waif for'the French Initiative.

Allies Seek General Retirement A furthor conclusion Is that thfl Germans draw men from other parts of their line and not from large available reserves of new formations. M. Belloc contends thnt the facts disclosed show that the enemy Is put to It by .actual, thinness of its line. He continues: "The problem of the allies ln the west is not the problem of gradually pushing back an opposing force. It Is the problem of compelling that force, under pressure, to shorten lines, which nre already as stretched as tbey can be consistently with being held, at all, and when the compulsion for shortening these lines shall arrive It cannot take the form of gradual retirements from one line of trenches \,i another close behind It. It can only take the form of wholesale retirement, either evncimttng northern France and half of Belgium or evacuating Alsace." M. Belloc also analyzes the German report of tho Soissons battle and claims that tho statement that more than 5,000 Frenchmen were killed and that moro than 5,000 were token prisoners io nonsense.

Stevens, Alberta livestock commissioner, puts lils finger upon an Important causo of tho lack of success of many farmers' co-operative organizations in Canada when ho states that tbe weakness has been that, members have been persuaded to forsake thorn as marketing channels when independent buyers bave offered higher prices for produce. In Alberta alone there are, ho announced at Edmonton yesterday, 2R "grass widows" of the co-opera Live plan. Members of cooperative marketing associations, especially whon such organizations are struggling with lira difficulties attendant upon new enterprises, are subjected to many temptations to weaken in Ihe loyalty to the union which is the essence of cooperation. Ono man gels a better price than is being secured by th'i organization and members are Indue: ed to endeavor lo secure, a 'shnilir advantage, with the result that cutthroat competition, to avoid which is one of the purposes of po-tiperat-.ve marketing associations, occurs. . .'Difficulties which surround efforts toward successful marketing upon the co-operative plan are many. Provision for securing and retaining control of the sales of the produce of the district concerned ana efficient, management aro two ot ihe primary essentials to success. .California producers ot turin products have solved most of th© problems which faced them in establishing their own marketing institutions. The fanners of western Canada aro still wrestling with their difficulties. Experience and the lessons offered by the rrsult, of other co-operative -efforts will enable them lo overcome them. cess. That was more than five years ago. Today (Blatchford is coming hi o bis own. Today he is hailed as the prophet who was true, ns the man who foresaw the menace and who did not falter before calumny, nor hesitate and weaken under almost genernl at tack. These are some of the things that he told tho British people prior to 1910: The strongest evidence of Germany's designs against Britain is the German navy. There can be no stronger evidence of any nation's intention to make war than that afforded by wholesale, feverish and systematic preparations for war. Now the Genua ii preparations are naval preparations, Against whom can these preparations be directed if they are not directed agalnct us. Manifestly they aro not meant for Russia, nor for France, nor for America. The magnitude of the preparations point to a prospective struggle with a fleet more powerful than that of Russia or France. Tho construction of the German ships prohibits their use in distant seas, against Japan, for instance, or the United Slates. And whereas we have heen told in a hundred hooka and newspapers and pamphlets and speeches that the German navy is meant to wrest from Britain her command of the sen. It would be difficult to find a single German suggestion that tho German navy is meant to try conclusions with any power other than Britain. Germany can reach Franco or 'Russia by land. Her fleet is already more than a match for Russia and France combined. Her fleet is built for the North sea, it is exorcised In the North sea, it remains in the North sea. Her ships are built against our ships, Ihe object of the German builders being always to go ono bettor than the 'British in each type. If we do not want war with Germany, we must be strong enough to cause Germany to want peace. Though Germany is a brave, resolute nnd mighty enemy she is not omnipotent', nor is she invulnerable. But she means business —blood and iron business—and "ill conciliation, subterfugo and compromise provoke her to contempt and scorn. Germany put her destinies into the hands of warriors; we leave ours in the hands of politicians. Germany acls; we talk. 'Words count, for nothing in the gnme of blood and iron. Arm or surrender; fight for Iho Empire or lose it. We can choose our alternative; no middle course is open to us. Blatchford, now that the strife has come, warns against overcoat! dence and urges that there be no slackening of warlike preparations until tho Empire has been made safe by the do structioa of (ho militarism which seeks to crush it. THIS PROVINCE TO GAIN FROM HIGHER GRAIN PRICES. The census and statistics office of tho department of trade and ci merce has published some detailed figures of tho cost of production of grain crops and tho profits obtained per acre in the various provinces which are of especial interest in view of the campaign which Is being con- dueled to Induce farmers to grow more food for the benefit of tho Empire and thai, of their own bank accounts during ihe coming year. The figures deal with 1913, a year in which grain prices wero very considerably <&lower than at. this time and than they are likely to be for some time after peace has been signed. The cost of production as given in the bulletin includes preparation of the soil and all labor, including payment, of wages to the farmer for his work, seed, wear and tear of implements and rental valuo of the land. Iu tho four western provinces the profits per acre in 1013 on spring wheat, after nil expenses have been deducted, were as follows: British Columbia, $S.f»9; (Manitoba, $2.65; Alberta, $2.0(1; Saskatchewan, $1.71'. Fall Wheat, profits wero in British Columbia, $13.12; Manitoba, $5.71; Alberta, $:t.*u.. The figures indicate that the Canadian wheat grower may look forward with confidence lo a period of marked prosperity as a result of the war. The cost of production should be little, !f at nil, larger while the high prices [or grain should enormously increase the percentage of profit. British Columbia is not yet a big grain producer, although large areas of land suitable for grain growing <ye Being opened -up in the northern districts, but from Ihe prosperity of tbe prairie farmers it will receive a direct gain In the better market which w.'l ■be offered for fruits, vegetables, lumber and other of its products.

Missouri Pacific's incrieaslng activity at higher prices was again noteworthy; a fact, ■however, that 'cc-msd to detract from the significance of tne general movement.

With tho fierce vigorofapassionate logic, and sledge-haramor stylo Robert Blatchford endeavored for yearB to drive home to the British people his conviction that the German menace was real.

The German explanation that the zeppolins which bombarded unfortified English towns bad to pass over a number of interior points to reach Yarmouth, which is on the coast, is most convincing. "Of my grandfather Verus l learned to be gentle and meet and lo refrain from all anger and passion," wrote Marcus Aurelius, iho Roman emperor. But he save the wild German tribes, which he wns subduing at the time lhat he wrote, in his tent at night time, bis "•Meditations," all that they wanted in the wny of fighting, Toronto is being held up as a shining example of favorable health conditions because Its death rate last years was only a fraction of 11 per 1,000 of iis population. Rossland 1ms gone one or two better wiih a death rate in lull ot 9.1 per 1,000. And that total in the Golden City did not Include one death from an infectious disease. The German nows mill has produced many fearful and wonderful stories but the statement that France began io seek pence dlrecllylhe Ger man armies beenmo well under way on their dash toward Paris early tbo war and that Kitchener made hurry trip to Paris and threatened to bombard the French coast unless an agreement, was signed that peace would not bo concluded by any of tha triple entente powers without the consent of the others is easily the best yet. f^.ivi <t-i-V-I«iX.-«*?-?.

The London newspapers aro filled with comments on (he Dacia case. Many statements are printed In which the hope is expressed that Americans will not be surprised if ihe Dncln is seized and thrown into B prize coun, but that they will realize that. Great Britain is acting on what the writers declare is a well established principle of International law, which must, oe maintained beyond" doubt if Great Britain and her allies are to prevent the German merchant marine from escaping the consequences of tho war and re-entering trade injurious to the allies. Great Britain's position concerning the provisional trip of the Dacia has been known generally since the United States made Us request concerning the vessel. It has been siated without hesitation that Grent Britain could not permit tho Dacia to escape tho prize court if it undertook the trip but the refusal of the United States government to insure the ship has 'given rise tr. rumors that the Dacia will not sail.

A. GILKER NELSONS LEADING MEJN.!S„ANO BOYS' WEAR STORE Provincial Live Stock Commissioner Says It Is Up to Farmers to Guarantee Supply. tnv Pnllv News Loosed Wire.) EDMONTON', Alta., Jan. 21.'—llio possibility of establishing a co-operative pork packing plant In Alberta occupied tbe greater part ot tlio session of the Alberta fanners' attsntion today. The discussion arose out of a resolution asking that a pork packing plant be established. Speaking for the resolution VV. P, Stevens, provincial live stock commissioner, Huld that at, the present tlmo there were some 28 "grass widows" of the co-operatlvo plan In Alberta, caused through the fact that the farmers were willing to ship to :i\e cooperative association so ions ns it was paying higher prices than were other buyers, but so soon as the independent buyers paid a higher price they forsook the co-operatlvo concern and allowed it to fight for Itself. Mr. Stevens said the government had to accept the recommendations of the committee. When the farmers had given a guarantee that they would supply 50,000 hogs it year the government was prepared to go into the scheme. The Intention was not that is should erect any elaborate plant such aa had beeu established by some of tbe private corporations, but it was expected that the establishment of a plant valued at about $10,000 would be sufficient for one point and if the supply of hogs ut other points was big enough similar plants might be established at such points as the supply of hogs would warrant. £^\ "Make,s more *2*JBl l»Hi/«f«UI FOR READING for distance seeing or for both we are amply equipped to supply glasses that will meet your eye needs.

This is a gross mlstatement. "Tho memorandum quoted by Mr. Flood admits only that the prevailing principles of international law do not entitled Germany legally to oppose the supplying of war materials to her enemies by neutral private persons, the' United States being, as was said at the close ot the memorandum, properly speuklng, entitled to tolerate such supplies. "According .to the principles of international law.the United Suites Is, of course, entitled to forbid all contraband tfado with all belligerents by proclaiming a prohibition of the exportation of .war material und ail the more so as the trade lu war material with England and France had assumed such dimensions as to jeopardize the .neutrality not only of the American gov- eminent, but, Indeed, of the American nation. "Furthermore, and this Is a fact of the greatest Importance to us, the supplying of our enemies with war material will most surely be cause for the prolongation of the war.' It is con; sequent!}- In contradiction of the United ' States' repeated . assurances that it wishes an early conclusion of peace and that It would be ready to co-operate for , that purpose." . . . Chairman Flood of the house foreign a fairs commltteo on Jun. 5, in a statement during thc course of tin argument with Representative Bart- liolilt, .who was advocating his resolution which would empower tho president to forbid the exportation , of arms and ammunition to tho belligerents, said ho understood that the German • government, through Its foreign offieo, had mado it plain that it did not expect the United States to stop such exports. He added that Representative Metz (Now. York) had told the committee that He (Metz) recently had talked with "high authorities" In Berlin, who had held that the United States was within Its rights under international law iu permitting trade in war supplies with tho belligerents, STARLAN] THEATRE!
