It reads, in part, ns follows: "1 propose to suggest, a remedy that would tide us over the present difficulties without the grave prejudice to our national, provincial and municipal credit and furnish work lor the next year to the unemployed, figured approximately at 100,444, com* prising all the large cities- in Canada. "It would require approximately {100,000,000 to give employment to 100,000 men for 12 months, being $00,- 000,000 to $70,000,000 for wages and .{•ir,,000,000 to $40,000,000 roi* material necessary to do useful permanent work. This amount should he exclusively used for the construction of permanent roads, bridges, thoroughfares and all municipal, suburban and public works ot this nature in and around large cities, say, within a radius of 25 miles, so as to offer work where it is moBt needed, without compelling workmen to displacement, of their actual domiciles. "Notwithstanding all that may be said for or against. It, I maintain that he present exceptional situation of distress Involves the responsibilities of federal, provincial and municipal authorities and the remedy to he ap- died must 'be supplied by the co operative credit ot those three. "1 may repeat what lias often been said, that our workmen require work, not alms, and I believe that our fed- oral, provincial and municipal credit can stand the draft, to he mado upon them for this work until we have emerged from tho universal mist which Is darkening the present time. "Wo have voted millions for wnr purposes and given millions for patriotic purposes which no patriot begrudges, and we are prepared to give more. AVo hnve faced the war situation in a confident and heroic manner; let us face the question ot unemployment and distress in a business way. If our collective credit can stand it (which no one will doubt). It Is up to us all to promptly solve the difficulty." Mr. McDonald proposes that the amount should be secured by a 40- year loan and suggests to secure a Higher bid for the loan "that all three ihall be individually and severally responsible for the full amount." In conclusion he says: "This suggestion is inspired hy the preoccupation that Is now monopolism ng the minds of all those who have the question of public welfare and .Ictory at heart and il. is, 1 am sure, he greatest desire of every true Canadian to come to Ibe rescue and apply some remedy at the opportune time.'* UNCLE SAM SHIPSJO MEXICO (Continued from Pnge One) Smillie & Weir Cordially Inoite Your Attendance at Their Spring Introductory Displays Beginning Thursday, March llth: An Interesting Exhibition of Exact Fashions for the Forthcoming Seasont in MILLINERY Featuring Suitable Modes for the.Various Day and Evening Occasions Plain Tailored and Noveltg Costumes Separate Coats for All Occasions Street and Afternoon Dresses Also Featuring the Seasons Novelties in Fabrics, Trimmings, and the Various Accessories to Dress, in Well Considered Selections Iho importance of which overshadowed In official Washington Interest in the European war.

BRUXK.—The correspondent of the .Journal do Geneve, who has been spending some time In. Austria-Hungary, has just heen narrating his experiences in Budapest. Hungarian opinion, he says, seems to he divided as to what is likely to bo the ultimate issue of the war, but on one point all are agreed, and that —the necessity of crushing (Servia and abolishing the Karagorgevitch dynasty. It Is "death to the Karageorge- vltches!" Nevertheless, scarcely anyone seems to regret the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was not beloved in Hungary, and who is credited with havlngi done much to bring about the war. "The Hungarians are apparently proud of their famous territorial regiment, about whom they are never tired of talking, and they do not hesitate to say: "Our soldiers are the boat In the monarchy. The Austrlans are soft and the Slavs traitors. The Servian campaign was lost because of the Czechs and Croats, and If Galicia is lost it Is because of the Germans who left us almost alone at the beginning of the war to defend them against Russia. They stayed dawdling in France nnd In the meantime the Cos- sucks arrived. In Vienna they are much too subservient to our ally, and Tisza has to intervene to get some reinforcements sent to us." Archduke Charles Francis, the present heir to the Austrian throne, is apparently much more popular than the assassinated archduke ever was, and he made a very good impression tho other day 'hy visiting all the Budapest military hospitals from one end to the other.. ... * . ■*■■/. which was sunk off Hastings at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, were landed here last night, They say lhat their vessel, laden with coal and bound from Blyth for Havre, was torpedoed during u snowstorm early in the morning 80 miles south of Dnnge- ness without warning, Fortunately; in view of the subma- itine war zono menace, the men say they had their 'boats swung out and ready for launching, and therefore all of them were saved.

It is not without significance that the collection is called the "Red" Book, since Austria's responsibility for the blood that has dyed Belgium and Poland Is second to only that of Germany, Until Turkey choose to set forth her case for becoming a party to the struggle It Is likely that Austria's contribution to thK? diplomatic anthology, will deserve the palm for unconvincing- statements. We learn from the red book nothing that was not known six months ago and it is a problem why Austria chose to issue it at all, says the Toronto Mall and Empire. It is albogethor an .inferior production to even the German official correspondence. In many parts It is pot couched ln the language of diplomacy. It reports mere suspicions, deductions and ravings as though thoy were official exhibits. WJiat it proves was long ago accepted as a fact, namely, that Austria had determined to make war upon Servia and that she had assured herself that In the event of Russia being drawn In she would not standalone. Expeotod Russia to Fight. As was noted In the German correspondence with the powers there Is not In the Austrian red book a single despatch that shows Austria to have made the slightest move towards averting the great catastrophe which With wide open eyes she Was bringing Upon Europe. As in the German'documents it Is shown that Britain's participation .was a surprise to Austria, Russia artd France 'however were expected to resent the demands made upon S^rvla, Russla because of her aspirations to be regarded as the "Big Brother" of the ■Slav states/Prance on account of-her treaty with Russia. This expectation, however, did'not deter Austria. She knew that she was bringing on a European war, though she did not guess that certain of-the belligerents would bo involved. Her one de.ermlna- tlon was not to avert a European war. It was to punish Servia. "What assurances'she had from Germany aro not set -' forth - in detail. THoy must; have been given long ih advance for we have a despatch sent from the Austrian foreign office to the Austrian mlnlstor in Petrograu. The Tiutonic Allies. . This ■ passage ie - worth fojuotln*: :t'Flrst,vl assume In a &enera!'way that your excelleney.dnwlew ofthe present situation, has established close relations: with- your German colleague,, he undoubtedly having been InstruuteoHy hie governmont to allow the Russian government no rOom for doubt that Austria-Hungary, ift case of conflict with Russia would net stand alorte." This -is a. far different despatch ' to those exchanged by France with Great Britain and between London and Pet- rcgrad. France and Russia did not know what stand Britain would take. They could .got no* preliminary guarantees. They wore forced toact facing the'posBlWiity that<ireat Britain would reqwhj neutral. Austria, to>w«yer, despatch from Vienna to Petrograd on July 2*5 says that In taking this step against Servia, Austria was "naturally conscious of the possibility of a collision with Russia. In case Russia should have decided that the moment had come'for the great reckoning with the powers of Central Europe and should therefore- be resolved upon war already, the instructions given below will (Joubtless appear superfluous to your excellency." Always "Too Late." Tho most damning part of tho evidence which Austria with true Teutonic unmorality offfers against herself is her reply to the notes that she received from Russia' and from England as soon as her ultimatum against! Servia had been launched, These notes' urge Austria to delay uction, lo give Servia a longer time ln which to frame a reply. They asked that Austria submit any questions which might remain unsettled to arbitration;-only to Jla-; lay until diplomacy had Its chance. To one and all the sanie answer was given. Il was "too late." The time had paa-i- ed for the operations of diplomacy. Dt- lay was out of tho question. Either Servia must Submit to, the most humiliating demands ever made upon one independent state by another, or she must reckon with. Austria. If any shocked bystander tried to interfere there-was Germany prepared to keep the ring clear. ' -\ The Quilt of Austria. " After reading tho red book one is divided as to whether Germany or Austria is naore to blame for tho grea' crime against -civilisation which they Jointly committed. So- miserable fl showing1 has Austria made with her armies since the war began and.se. rutheless has been the devastation wrought by her powerful; ally, that ii Is Upon' Germany that the condemnation of the world; is chiefly centred But Austria Was at least as guilty ap Germany. If- Russia and -France had consented to'l'emafti passive Germany would 'hotShave been in-the wary Austria woUld' havo been fighting Servia Nothing could have - kept Austria out Then,' no doubt, with Servia destroyed Germany would hav^'fo^nd some other excuse for putting in,motion her war machine against Fraiuo and Russia EX-KHEDIVE PROVfcD HIMSELF NUISANCE Former Ruler of Egypt .Gave Trouble to British Agent arid Sought to Create Mischief , , A character-sketch of Abbas JJ., es> khedjye of Egyot-fey I^or4 Cromer. h»s begn published in JLondon, A more piquant subject can hardly he imagined—the study of a spelled; petulant, "impossible" oriental potentate. flro*n the pen <of the. siern, far-sighted British pro-consul, to whom he was ev,er a thorn in the flesh and whose duty It was to restra'n and on occasion to ■punish his mischievous propensities. \rWben, in,January,* 1892, Abbasr-"an inexperienced,youth, of. I8r'fresh from the scholastically. sound 'but narrow training of an Austrian .qollfigeV—succeeded-to the.khediviate, Lord Cromer was warned about, his character by an Austrian friend. The warning: ran thus: j-.,', ,, . ,.-,.. ..; ,, .,,\j /'He -was sure to be. surrounded by bad advisers., He,.would --.belle his oriental, origin, if he. did not.,..directly or lnd)rectly„ encourage- sycophancy in those around him.

British-advice* Let Mm throw. p« tiie onerous yoke-of the Rriti hy which .hla, father, who was poor in spirit, had borne all to patiently. He need have no fear of the <^>n" sequences. The Egyptians could certainly govern Egypt without foreign aid:"' ..... Spoiled Petulance i This prophecy was fulfilled almost to the letter. 'Not' that Abbas' was ever really an. Egyptian "patriot" or a nationalist; he was merely inordinately* vai^..and .overbearing; as Uori Cromer puts it, he confounded, tjie term3, )"khedivlal"1 and ^Egyp-Uan,*' which are by no.means synonymous. He... could; not to|erate the bearing reins. His petu'ance was excited by- all sorts of. imaginary slights. t "An English off.cer who had hie back'turned, and did not know, that he was In the presence of the khedive. hod failed to salute him,; another English- off cer -in the -Egyptian service had come toy hlB: reception in long boot . whereas he ought to have come in trousers; an English dragoon, who but a few months .before had beeu hoeing potatoes in Somerset shire, and who po sib.y had ne\*er heard that such a person as the khedive existed, had not risen from his seat as the train bearing the khedive swept by; the sirdar would not summarily dismiss certain; of fleers who had. committed no offence, etc., etc." Vioent Anglophobia was tho result Abbas' personal dislike for Lord Clonic and every British official in the Egyptian service was not to be concealed. A sharp conflict was inevitable. When it came, it meant equally Inevitably a complete rebuff to the khedive. His first act of revolt was to dismiss his Anglophile ministers ou: of hand without consulting the Britisli agent It was a sort of coup1 d'etat directed against" the very foundation of British Influence. Lord Rosebery, then foreign secretary, stood firmly, by Lord Cromer in this as in subsequent ■ conflicts,.;. . The khedi^jj had. to give way. A formal declaration wa^ won from him that "he would always most willingly adopt tbe advice of her maj sty's, government on all questions of importance in the future." Tlu British ga risen in Egypt was suddenly increased. It was a sign that thc tension was growing dangerous. The came the khedive's first visit to Constantinople in the summer of 1893. ,- "v-reat things, were expected from this visit. . . . The khedive endeavored to enlist Turkish sympathies on his side. He appealed to tho sultan to deliver him from the burden of thc British yoke. He represented the hardship cf the British occupation and made complaints, as indiscriminate as they wero for the most part baseless, agulnst the British officials Jn Egypt. The Explosion His .reception wap extremely ■ chill- lug.. The wily.,sultan, Abdul Hamid, gaveiiim shrewd: ady-ice and sent hlm away with something like a flea in his e*r. The khedive's batrcd for everything British now almost consumed him. Sis months later came the explosion. He travelled up the Nile in January. l.(*H and inspected the troops en route.. 'IHe poured forth a stream of childish -criticism on everything which he saw. | He Insulted British officers." Mattery came to a head at Wadl Haifa, when, ho sneered at British commanding officers on parade and said it was a disgrace that the Egyptian army should be so inefficient." ... I ' ~ Kltftlvmer Triumphs. . Generhl. Kltchene?. at once offered his resignation. The. khedive took frj?h* and begged him. to witlidrnw.it and the sirdar did so provisionally.

Liberal leaders In British Columbia make much ot the "land question." They argue that the land of the province has been handed over to the speculators and endeavor to create the impression that agricultural development ln British Columbia has Ibeen retarded by the policy of the government. The official figures prove the contrary. Tbey prove that a remarkable development of the industry has taken place during the past 16 years, a development that is all the more remarkable when It Is considered that the making of farms In this province is hampered by difficulties with which no other western province has had to contend. Well directed expenditure of. public funds and fars*lghted administration have combined to overcome these handicaps. A supplementary report of tho Dominion census of 1911 shows that the total production of the farms of British Columbia in 1900 was $6,640,* 225 and that In 1910 it had grown to $16,!M2,193. Dinting the past four years it has increased to a still more substantial extent. In 1913 the total value of farm produce reached $38,- 13*1,819 and in 19-14 a further growth of *3,60O,00O Ib recorded. TheBe figures speak for themselves. In the matter of land settlement greater progress was made In 1914 than in any previous year ln the history of the province. During the year 4,904 pre-emption records were issued. In 1905 the total wag 956. In 1914 J14,401 acres of reserved land were opened'to pre-emption. These lands were divided Into 979 pre-emptions and at the openings 382 parcels were filed upon, the acreage available being considerably ln excess of the demand. During the year 884,000 acres were added to the land available for pre-emption. Since 190? tbe government has.surveyed 4,896,910 acres and of this 3,395,910 remain available for preemption. With such a record of enormously Increased agricultural production and of vast acreage of land held in ad- vance of the demands of the pre- emptors the government of Sir Richard McBride can welcome criticism of its policy of farm development and of such measures as It may propose with a view to continuing and expanding the good work. IMPORTANT LABOR LEGISLATION BEFORE THE PEOPLE, Just before the close of tho session at Victoria Hon. W. J. Bowser Introduced an act "To provide for compensation to workmen tor injuries sustained and Industrial diseaBeB contracted in the course ot their employment." This measure, which Ib based upon the findings ot the royal commission on labor, will lie on the table during the recess in order that its provisions may ibe thoroughly examined Into before the bill Is passed at the next' session. The matter of compensation for workmen Is one of vital importance to those engaged in the Industries of British Columbia and to the employ* ors and the course which Is being followed by tbe government is well advised. During tiie approaching election an exceptional opportunity will be given for a thorough discussion of-the measure in all Its phases and the opinions which Willi be expressed will assist the next legislature in placing on the statute books ot British Columbia workmen's compensation legislation which will be best designed to serve the interests of the people of the province, SHOWING MADE BY HOSPITAL IS EXCELLENT. The directors of the Kootenay Lake General hospital have reason to be proud of the results ot the past year's operation of that institution. The financial statement shows that $2,000 has been added to the building fund and over $800 to the capital account, The figures are testimony to a careful and businesslike management under unfavorable general conditions. Tbe institution bas also made its payments of Interest and sinking fund on the city bond issue of $30,000, the proceeds nf which are to be used to defray part of the cost of the proposed new founding. The large amount written off for. bad debts and the substantial sum representing accounts outstanding Indicate that thc hospital is giving assistance to many who are unable to pay for it, as well as to those who nre In a position to meet the fees which are charged. The Kootenay Lake General hospital is performing good work for the people of Nelson and the surrounding district. It should receive every encouragement. There Is no room ln British Columbia for the pessimist. Uncle Sam backs his note to Carranza with a couple of warships. That should make. the paper easily negotiable. The provincial government by avoiding a long drawn out campaign is acting in the best interests of the people of Hritish Columbia. Construction work on the Hudson Bay line will next month give work to 3,000 of the unemployed. That Is one of the public worts undertakings which Liberal members of the house of commons assert the government should discontinue in order to curtail expenditure. There is an almost pathetic note in the Berlin despatch which says "The Russians, despite their reported continual defeats, seem able to constantly bring up reinforcements and thus maintain the offensive." The whole German theory of warfare Is based upon the principle of throwing superior forces against an enemy and upon keeping the power of the offensive. If It is true that the German Imperial chancellor will today annouuee the terms upon which Germany Is willing to make peace the statement will be of interest, but it Is unlikely that tbe Prussian leaders will be prepared for some time to cease hostilities upon the basis which the triple entente will Insist upon. The allies will not accept a premature peace. The United States has warned the Mexicans that Carranza officials will be held personally responsible It harm befall any foreigners and will take means to Impose responsibility where it belongs. It the United States is called upon to make good that declaration Its army may have an Interesting time hunting bandits through darkest Mexico. Three measures based on the re* -port ot the royal commission on labor were passed at the recent session at Victoria. One act gives cities the power to regulate the closing hours of barber shops, another makes the factory act appij to places where as few as three employees are engaged and the third Is framed to counteract the evil system by which foremen of works accepted commissions from an employment agency and then, on some slight pretext, discharged the men and divided up the fees. The act regarding barber shops is directed against orientals, whose methods came under criticism in the report of the commission. «■ WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING. 4 When tho Pinch Comes Before the people ot Germany uturve to death for tho glory ot the house of Hohcnzollern and the military caste tbey will begin to demand pcucc at any price.

"You would faint," .he snys, "If 1 wore' to describe some of thc wounds made by those bullets. They are horrible." The letter was written on Feb. 7 and Is dated somewhere ini Belgium. 'We were all very much amused at the accounts of the 'gallant charges of the slouch hatted Canadians' which we read in the several papers," ho says. "I read this in a London paper, but the one 1 read In thc Montreal Star fairly takes the >bun. We have made no charges nor have any of the regi- monts on our right or left. We have heen fighting; here a month and wc still occupy tho same trenches.

CANARY BIRD FLOWER GOOD FOR TRELLISES Pretty Plant Has Luxuriant Vine and Attractive Little Blooms—Plant Whon Ground Is Warm. -Thoso having trellises thoy desire covered with a luxuriant vino that will not remain after cool weather comes and that Is attractive and not commonly grown, will do well to try the so-called canary-bird flower. Seeds sown in the ground as soon as the earth is sufficiently -warm to prevent their decay will start quickly and grow rapidly, making as much as a 26-foot growth in a season. The soil ahould be very light and porous and ahould 'be spaded to a depth of at least IS Inches. The canary-colored flower has a striking resemblance to a little bird with Its wings hall* extended. The flowers will continue from early July until cut down hy the frost. May Is a safe time In northern latitudes for Rowing the seed. This vine will do well on a northern or eastern exposure but not so well on n southern or western exposure, ns the heat of the sun is ,,rten injurious to the roots, MAN is won Private Ward'Of Prince Rupert on CaainiHy List—Injuries Chiefly . . from Gunshots (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

KING GEORGE A SPORT, SAY THE MEN A visitor to the trenches writes: What Btruck ine first as 1 visited these two camps was the cheerfulness of the soldiers. I talked with scores, perhaps hundreds of them, and I never heard a grumble. "Yes, it's been a hit wet, Blr, and the ground's been slushy, but we've had a good time. A dry place to sleep In, plenty , of good grub and lots of fun. We!ve-entertainments and singsongs nearly every night, and hosts of kind.friends,- Hard work, sir? Of course we work hard, but that's what we're here for. Wo've to put a lot of training In in a little time, but nobody's the worse for that.'' This was repeated to me a score of times in a score of different ways. Everywhere I was mot with a laugh and a jest—and politeness. "What Is the conduct of the men?" I asked a young non-commissioned officer. "These fellows must find the military discipline ot the camp a great change from the free life they've been living." "Their conduct Is, splendid, sir," was the reply, "Just splendid. Of course we are exceptionally situated here. The district its thinly populated and thero are very few pubs. This gives us a great advantage; ull the same there seems no desire to kick over the traces. You see they're all so happy and contented. I've been here over three months and there's hardly been any misconduct worth mentioning.'' Another thlpg that struck me was the enthusiastic loyalty of the men. I dn not mean their loyalty to their regiment und their officers, although that was very marked, but tlicir loyalty to King George and to England. "I tell you, sir, King George is a sportsman," said a young sergeant* major to mc, "and our chaps would go through fire and water for him. Didn't you read about It ln the papers? He wns here a little time ago and the fellows nearly went olt their heads with joy. You see, they'd got a wrong Impression 'about him and .fancied him as terribly serious and all that sort of thing." "And was he jolly?'* I asked. "Jolly! You should hove seen him, you should huve heard him laugh! None of your half tired, melancholy smiles. One ot the officers, Capt. , was telling Mm a story about the men. 1 didn't exactly catch it, although 1 was only, nbout eight feet away. Thc King was just there, sir, and Capt. had his baok to me, so l couldn't hear what he suld. But It tickled the King, for he bent almost double with laughter. He just Bmock* ed his thigh and shouted, just shouted with laughter, and before you could wink tho men wero all laughing, too! Oh, he's great sport is the King." "Aind did he stay long?" I asked. The sergeant-major laughed at my question. "That was another hit that especially pleased my regiment," was his reply. "As you see,. I belong to the Duke of Cornwall's regiment, and the King wus more than ordinarily inter eatod ln It. Of course, he was working to a sort ot time-table because he had a lot to do.: After he'd been with us a goodish bit our colonel said to hlm, 'Excuse me', sir, but we are overdue to be away. We ought to go.' But the King wouldn't have It. '"Look here, colonel,' he said, lm with my old regiment, and I'm not going to hurry. I'm going to stay as long as I like.' The King Is popular with the men, sir! I should think he 1b!" * "Oh, Percy! dear, your birthday gift was bo beautiful-;' remarked the young ledy, with he* best smile. "And you unlntentially left the. price mark on —fifty dollars." "Oil, how careless* of me,' replied Percy. "And I see * ytn***': nought It at Payne's. Now, I know'yon wouldn t mind taking It backhand exchanging It for one of those loVely $60 sable muffs they have *t« the window, would you?" An hour Inter that young man was lamenting the tdbltsK*hrA*of buying ah nrnnment for *$10Mnnd sticking n $50 Inbol on It. PLANT FOOD M SOIL 1ST BE AVAILABLE Nitrogen, Phosphoric Add .und Potash Must Be in Form That Is Easily Absorbed-. "Available" plant food Is plant food existing in the soil in such forms that the plant roots are able to take it up or absorb It. 'Just as raw beefsteak or uncooked beans have to undergo certain changes before they are available as human food, so most of the forms of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash existing in the soil, and many of those added to It in manures or fertilizers, have to undergo certain changes, which take place In the soil, before plants can use them. Certain degrees of heat, of moisture and of alr make these changes. AU plants require for their susten ance a number of different elements in the soil. Of these the only ones that are likely to become deficient are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The worst of it is that if any one of these begins to get used up the plant will stop growth instead of using more of the other things. The kind of plant food that has become - exhausted is termed the "limiting factor." A "complete fertilizer" is one that contains all three of the plant foods mentioned, though they may not be ln 'he proportions required. As a matter of fact most of the complete ready-mixed fertilizers to be bought. and especially the cheaper grades, do not contain the plant foods in thc best proportions for general garden use. A good general garden fertilizer contains 4 per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of available phosphoric acid and 10 per cent of potash. Potash Is scarce now, as no potash salts can be imported from Germany and the percentage of potash in all fertilizers is being cut down. After a soil has been well supplied with plant foods in available forms the plants cannot grow unless they can absorb the various elements in tho form of solutions. That means that a certain amount of moisture must be present ln the soil. Conditions aro most favorable to growth when thc soil Is ahout half saturated. Alr must be present as well as moisture. If the soil is wet the alr is excluded. If it is dry the plants cannot get hold of the food lying ahout them.

REFUGEE HIDES IN 8EWAGE TANK—HIS TALE OF HORROR SLUIS.—A man from Essen, near Dixmude, who arrived at Sluts after a Journey full of danger and difficulties, had told me that when the Germans were expected most of the people of his village fled, but he decided to remain, ! < "1 kept an Inn," he explained, "and of course, I received the first visits of the invaders. Several times I was accused of being a franctlreur. The first time it was in this way. "I had several Germans ln 'my inn, and one of them had drunk more than was good for him. As it was raining and cold, I had lighted the stove, and it was red hot. "The drunken German sat so near to it that he burned his cheek. He Jumped up ln a mad. rage, saying to me, 'That's your fault.' He would have hurt or killed me If his friends had not kept him back. They tried to calm him and ln the end threw him In a corner, where he fell asleep. "Then an officer, a giant of a man. came ln. He crossed the room and looked at a paper on the wall, and .1 became frightened to death. It was an official notice, which had been sent to me after Austria had-.declared war saying that all Austrians had to leave within 24 hours. I had forgotten to take it down. The officer rend it, tore it to pieces, and, taking out his revolver, said to me, 'You deserve a bullet for this, you are a franc- tireur.' ' -n "What could I say? Tttoplied, 'I cannot read and do not know what It Is. The authorities brought this here to me to hang it up.' " 'So,' he houted, 'and why do you fight against us?' "Well, my blood was boiling. 1 could have killed him, and 1 wanted to ask him, 'Why do you come here to destroy an innocent people?' But there was that big revolver and the Germans are always ready to shoot. So I remained Ignorant and replied. 'Wc live here quite Isolated and know nothing about politics.' "At last the officer put ills revolver away and left the house. Fourteen Days Underground "Soon afterwards the fighting began and we were not safe there any longer. I left my inn and fled to a farm, the occupants of which had taken refuge in a sewage-tank. There were 17 of us hiding there under thc ground. The tank had been emptied and cleaned and it contained a few pieces of furniture. We lived there 14 days. "On the first days, when there wus no heavy fighting, some of us could leave the tank and go upstairs to do some baking; but soon we were forced to stay In and dared not even put our heads out to look at what was going on. We heard terrible noises, as of explosions and gun-fire and we could distinguish bayonet fighting above our heads. "Oh, those days and nights. At last we could not bear it any longer. I proposed that we should fly, but we had not left our hole more than an hour when we. were arrested by some Germans, who menaced us with their bayonets. An officer asked us whence we had come and we told him that we hud been sheltering and desired to get away from the fighting area. "We were all searched and If one of us had had even a small weapon It would have meant our death. While we were kept waiting a shot wus heard. 'Do you hear that?' shouted the officer. 'Again a franctlreur. 1 must shoot you all.' "The women began to cry and I did not feel at all at ease.. Those Germans have such short laws. But 1 kept calm and replied, 'But you saw that none of us hud a weapon.' 'Well,' the officer replied, 'there are franc- tireurs about and they must be shot.' We asked for mercy and were kept In a terrible state of uncertainty foi- half a day, when we were told that we were free." So far the history of this man. There Is no doubt nbout its being true. There are too many proofs of this everlasting menacing with revolvers and bayonets. The long list of missing civilians will one day make a terrible accusation against the German conqueror. It will be a long Hat, and only survivors can tell their story; but very often the menaces have been translated Into action and the tale of "franc-tireurs" was invented as an excuse for these cruelties.

Grudging us our skies are of light and warmth, we always make an eager best of their concessions, and while the sun shines Its harvest of recreation and health is reaped to the full. But this year all the sports that we have so closely moulded to an expression of our own instinct will be under the shadow of a grimmer business. The "playing fields" have been emptied Into the camp. The hands that held the bat and the oar will be occupied by other and deadlier weapons. There will be no boat race, no llenley—fancy England Without these two national events —nearly all the great festivals of the sporting year will be represented by a blank in the calendar. The requiem for many of England's finest sportsmen has already been rung by the ghosts of bells, out of broken, empty spires in a shell-torn land ucross the sea, blackened with the ---res of hate. Not for them a resting place under the sombre yews beneath the shade of the Hchened wall. They lie where no mound nor stone mark their resting place. It may be yet a long, long way out of the wilderness of this cruel war to victory, a long, long time to wait till: "The heavens grow clear above And on the purple plains of Hate We build the throne of Love." But they will never be forgotten, even though the roads shall run and men shall laugh and the vines and corn shall once again grow on the smooth earth where their bodies He below. At times one Is supremely conscious of the wrack of war in this "our little land of shine and rain" and an abler pen than mine Is needed to depict the visual causes which lead to a depression of spirit and heaviness of soul. To meet with those whose loved ones have already foufcht and died in the jagged flume of bursting shell is to stir the heart to its depths and choke the words of loving sym path'y. To speak with wounded men who have tasted the hell of living death ln fire swept trenches is to project the mind to such time as the inexorable demand for further sacrifices shall summon we of the new armies into the field. AU this, and much more, creates a mental state Which all the buoyancy of the coming spring may find hard to dispel, England is more serious today than in any of the preceding months of the War and she has learned enough to be quite certain tliat the final victory will need a supreme effort on the part of all the allied forces who have undertaken to break the curse of Prussian militarism. You would be muchly surprised to learn of the great augmentation of our forces on the continent during the last few weeks. Through out England, buttalions are spirited away and are heard of no more, nor likely will be till the casualty lists reveal their baptism of fire. It is all very uncanny and we begin to realize the mighty power of our newly organized war machine. Yet never was the nation's trust more firm In "K. of K.," who snys nought but exercises the perrogative of a "dictator" and whose word is to obey. The days are lengthening and we, who spend our days In the open, are quick to note the harbingers of spring'. Crawling along a hedge, marking the division between country lane and stubble field, In an endeavor to penetrate the patrolling line of the "enemy," I found the other dny several yellow starred primroses mnklng their first acquaintance with the year of destiny. They seemed to bear n message to every soldier of tho King in training fnr tho front. Tor when spring comes buck to England und dons her robes of green, we shall be across the channel, beyond the white chalk cliffs und rippling sands of our hallowed land and will be doing "our little bit" to keep Inviolate the shores of this little island "under the north Ktar."

Nurseries and Greenhouses at Royal, B.C. assisting our country in a satisfactory manner and at times, after half a year's experience of a soldier's life, we feel that we should be doing something more useful. The manner, however, In which the soldiers of the new armies have maintained their enthusiasm after a six months' strenuous training ut their battalion's wur station is beyond praise. The similarity of the routine becomes a burden to the flesh and is apt to engender u "stale" or "fed up" feeling, but this must be fought witli and overcome. The student of human nature has a wonderful field to explore in the study of his fellow soldiers and is provided with experiences which may woll constitute an eventful chapter in the story of his life. I have been hearing of the glorious days of sunshine in fur Off Kootenay during these winter months and pleasant memories abound of the valleys surrounded by the snow cupped peaks of distant mounluins. T cherish the memory of the sunsets in it western land where each lofty peak in succession is tinged with a roseate blush and where the night comes'quickly and the stars shine from the steely blue of a clear sky. What a contrast to the misery of an English winter is thai fairyland of dazzling White. What would we not give for the Vitalizing sunshine und exhillraling air of a sunny western clime, instead" of the sombre greyness of English skies, und humid atmosphere of an ivy-green land. There is doubtless many a westerner on -Salisbury plain theso days, who, like myself, find it In his heart to say: "But, oh! my heart goes homesick buck today, Back to the wide free prairie's sweep, Back to the pines which brought the sunset near, Buck where the great white Rockies sleep."

A CLAB8IPICO AD, GETS UBULT6 SEA FIGHTER 18 THE GREAT CELEBRIS If celebrities are to. be ranked according to the, number of their \tifc- ture postcards that are sold, there ca be no question that the great Urltisl celebrity of ■ the day is Admiral Si Dav d Beatty. He has supplanted the most popular of matinee Idols ana there appears to be an inexhaustible and increasing demand for his photo* graph. It has been discovered, suddenly, that he Is an extraordinarilj fine looking man. No clement Ib lacking in his popularity. First, of course he lias, proved himself to be a ser fighter 'worthy to -be remembered with Drake and Rodney and Nelson. • *!»' has also shown himself to be a master of strategy, to be something more tliar the mere bull-headed slugger wh< asks -nothing bnt an opportunity ti exchange blows. He won the figh< off Heligoland with trifling loss, H. won the battle in the North Bett, bbi knew just the proper time to quit Hud he continued his pursuit, had h' been determined that at all costs thf' fleeing Germans should fciot escapo him, there is mure than a probabiUt> tliat his victory would havo been turned into disaster. Genius As Well As Fighter Beatty in both these engagements showed a genius for doing tho right thing ut the right time. It ought to be remembered, too, that ho had nr precedent to guide him in the North sea fight. He had to make precedent for others. So he did more than win a fight He proved that he has mustered conditions that must govern modern naval warfare. Conversely the German admiral, whbevef he Was. failed to live up to tho traditions tha' would have controlled a British admiral. Admiral Cradock, off the ••'a'klunds, did not flee before he kmsv tho odds AgaMst him. On the c6n " tmry, lie gave battlo when it secme-" to him that there was a possible chance of victory. The winner of tha fight, too, Admiral von Spee, whet sighted by Sturdee gave battle like i bravo man and met his fate wltl fortitude. The German admiral U. tho North sea fled immediately h* sighted the Britisli smoke. Tie cohl.' riot have known exactly what the odd were against him, and the fact that r stray shot put the most formldabh of his enemies temporarily out o commission shows that the German-- might have had a chance if they hat chosen to fight.

' Jellicoe's Share '.Beatty's thrilling' engagements have tho tendelicy of focussing attention 0'pon htm'.'rather than upon Jellicoe, who ought properly to havo his share of tbe glory. Jellicoe Is tbo commandor of the grand fleet, of Tvhicli Beatty's stiuadron was a unit. It was part of Jellicoe's grand strategy ' to have, tl\e. Lion and the others under Beauty patrolling that part of the North sea. where tho raiders might bo expected to appear. It was Jellicoe wiw, gave Beatty his opportunity. Speaking of this aspect of tbe case Mr. Smaller says: "Sir John Jellicoe has prpved himself a great strategist; a mqttv.--o{ whom the full significance of. Mahan's Sea Power Is known; who has done silently aud by sheer force of sea-craft and bruin power; by'a great -conception put in practise wltl) almost greater patience and. fortitude, and without, so much as the chance of bringing his fleet to tbo test of battle —who has done, I say, in that manner and under conditions wholly imw . a service vital to the supremacy of Bng- land ln the: greatest war she bus ever fought. Thc reward of such a service and the full measure of its success are to come later." ■ •■ ■ ■ ,■• -i, ' When They Come Out , However, tho great triumph of JellK coe will; come when the German grand fleet puts to sea, If ever It does tjike this chance. While the enemy confines itself to more raids tho laurels gained by the British navy will go to the lieu tenants. But there is fear in lhe navy that the double success of Beatty will have the effect ot discouraging all German nuval activity except that of ho submarines und il is to be admitted that the prospects of gaining much glory or honorable advancement out of the submarines arc not bright, still, when the Germans find out that their submarine blockade bus fulled and that the|r torpedoes cannot destroy British shipping as fast as it can be launched, when the pinch of hunger becomes sharper, there may be an overwhelm Ing demand for the German fleet to show cause for Its existence. On that day or the day after there Is likely to be glory enough to go round in the British navy. "INSOLENT ENGLISH DOGS" Letters on prisoners* continue to tell of the increasing strain of war and of the hatred of England as well as of the delusions cherished in Germany. Here are some samples: Lalir, Jan. 14, 1S16—The place of the "Young German league'' is now taken by the "Jugendwehr" (cadot corps, literally "corps of youth") in ■which are incorporated youths of lli years of age. They are commanded by officers and undergo military training but have no. arms. The Servians nnd Montenegrins are now played out, The Russians, owing to their enormous losses, are no longer In thc majority. Tho Frenoh are also no longer strong and the Belgians cease to exist.

Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, today made their first attempt to get testimony concerning his sanity into the record of his trial for conspiracy to escape ifrom the state hospital for the crimlial Insane at Matteawan. The attempt waB unsuccessful. •It was while William Gordon, a hotelkeeper at Bason, N.T., who was on the witness stand, that Justice Page, before whom the trial of. Thaw and five co-defendants is in progress In the criminal branch of the supreme court, discussing an objection by tho prosecution, objected to such testimony. He Bald, however, that tho ruling applied to the testimony of Gordon only. In upholding the objection Justice Page said that If it was tho Idea of Thaw's counsel to show through the witness Gordon that Thaw was of sound mind at the time of hla escape he ^thought his testimony on tliat su'bject was necessarily "remote." The trial will continue tomorrow. Four Mid-Week Speci THE RE8PON8E TO OUR WA8H GOODS SALE GOOD. THERE IS STILL TODAY TO PARTICI* PATE IN THESE LOVELY RICH CREPE TUB FABRICS.

T. W. Tweedte (Calgary) and Hon. A. fl. Mackay (Athabasca) spoke respectively on behalf of the opposition nnd the government before crowded gal- lerios. Mr. Tweedio dealt at length with the addresses of the different cabinet ministers who had already spoken. He criticized the government for giving guarantees nnd allowing the money raised on those guarantees to remain In the banks while the work waB' not started on the guaranteed railways. Hon. A. O. Mackay ln reply quoted correspondence between the premier and Canadian Northern railway officials to show that every pressure was being brought to bear on the railway company to have work rushed along.

Yet who can eay that the German sniper here described deserved a better fate? Tho Princess Patricia's Canadian' Light infantry had been in the trenches for 24 hours. There was water in the ditches and the weather was bitterly cold. It was early morning and another .dreary day stretched out ahead. During the whole of the previous day one company of the Patricias had been bothered by a sniper, somewhere In tho bushes several hundred yards off to tho right. They could not locatejitm, His hiding place waa well chosen, so well, Indeed, that he waa almost able to enfilade one section of the Pats' trenches. Every time a man exposed himself the sniper's rifle would crack, By evening of the first day he had killed two of the Canadians outright, severely wounded a third and slightly wounded an officer and two men. Tho Pata felt that they could not afford to allow Hie German marksman to remain another day to pester them. But ft was somo distance to the place ho was supposed to -be hidden and the officers knew a reconnaissance wudd be hazardous. Finally, however, a party of three men and a sergeant In charge crept out to dislodge him, A big six footer from Ontario whose chuni .tbe sniper had killed, was a member of that party. He. was determined to avenge the death of hie friend. Foot by foot tlio four men Crewled toward the clump of bushes, but before Ihey had covered half the distance a rifle cracked and a moment later they were under heavy fire from the German trench opposite, The darkness protected them tn a measure and they succeeded in approach lug to within HO yards of their own line unhurt* Theri they made a dash for it and three got under cover safely, the fourth fell Into the trench with a bullet through his leg. No further attempt was t/inde that night, tltOUgh the big man from On tnrln wanted to go out alone. Thus U was that they found themselves fae ing another day with the sniper to bother them. Beforo evening of tho second day the German had added another man to his score, but his hiding place was discovered and the Canadians were determined como what might, to put nn end to his work that night. With infinite caution and patience another reconnoitring party crawled Out and this time tbey succeeded In eluding the watchers in the opposite ditch. Even the sniper himself did not detect, them until iheywero close npoiii him. He saw that he emi'ld not escape, so, throwing down his rifle und raising his hands above his head he stood up, srjing "Surrender, sur render." "No you don't; you're going to pay for what you've done," said the big man from Ontario ami plunged his bayonet, through! the German soldier's body.

ESTABLISHED 1670 ESTABLISHED 1670 HOW A VILLAGE WAS CAPTURED The Easiest Way to End Dandiuff Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp, There is one sure way thnt never fails to remove dandruff completely and that Is to dissolve It. This de stroys It entirely. To do this, Just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid nrvon; apply It at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp nnd rub It in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, It not all, ot your dandruff will be gone and three or Tour more applications will completely dlssolvo and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much dandruff you,may have. You will find too, that all Itching and digging of tbe scalp will stop instantly, hnd your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times better; * If you want to keep your hair looking rich, do bv nil means get rid of clan- druff, for nothing destroya the hnlr so quickly, it not only starves tho hair nnd makes It fall out. but It mnkeB it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brlttlo and lifeless, and everybody notices it. Y<ra can get liquid nrvon at any drug store, it Is Inexpensive nnd four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy Ms never been known to fail. An Easy Way to Get Fat and Be Strong Tbo trouble with most thin folks wh Wish to gain weight Is thnt tbey Insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing It wltb greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh cronms," or following some foolish physical: culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new scientific discovery, It Is now possible to combine into simple form the very elements needed by tbo digestive organs to help them convert food lnto,.rleb, fat-laden blood.

The first detailed account of an exceptionally heayy engagement recently fougiht at Vassincourt, on the heights of the Meuse, is published In tho Paris Monitenr de la Loire in the form of a letter from a participant. It transpires thnt the capture of the village of Vassincourt necessitated two preliminary actions and four successive bayonet charges of the most desperate character. The description of these charges is one of the most vivid first-hand narratives of the fighting that lias seen the light during the present campaign. Tho main attnek ou the village began with a minor action, as the result of which the French succeeded in frustrating a German turning movement Then camo the order for tihe first, charge. "Sections by fours.. Fix bayonets! Chnrge! Vive la France! The bugles sound and the drums heat furiously. The 'Marseillaise' hursts forth. Wc are mad, and we dash forward, heads clown. The Prussians fire some terrible volleys, and cause many gaps. 'Close the ranks, my sons!' shouts our commander. "Tho trumpeter immediately in front of me Is killed with a bullet, through his forehead, and I trip over his body and fall to tbe ground. I pick myself up nnd resume my place in the front. We are hand to lhand; a German whom I pin agninst a wall fights back with great courage. He alms his bayonet at my chest, but I leap aside iu classic fashion, and be stabs Into the alr, while I run blm through. He utters a cry aud lulls. Thought of His Mother. "At this moment n Prussian officer with a revolver as his only weapon librows himself upon mo nnd presses me back in my turn. Twice he flies his revolver nt me, but he Is taller than [ nnd the bullets go over my ■end. I make a feint at 'bnyoneting him aad press the trigger nervously, t had lost my head. The bullet hit hlm In the chin and he fell, saying: •Mein Gott! O, liebe mutter.' 'My God I O. dear mother.') "I pull myself quickly together. The bugles are sounding the retreat, for tiho Germans are coming on in force, uttering wild shouts. I rejoin my section and we go back rapidly over the bare ground while the Prussians open fire. The regimental mnreh of the Is struck up, and we reform ut the same place. 'Conquer or die!' cries the general to us. We nre called upon to mako the sacrifice. It is good. "Forward with the bayonet again. Most of my comrades nro wounded and the bullets wlilstlc over our ears. At least 10 mitrailleuses are vomiting fire upon us. Then the Germans try a ruse. They cause their 'bugles to sound the French 'retreat,' but they lack the trick of the tongue. It only redoubles our fury. "The corpornl falls, and groans. 'Avenge me!' We dislodge them, but wo bave to retreat again, nnd I do not succeed In so much aB touching one of them. Those who are on the roofs throw bricks—whole chimneys— at us; they havo even posted mitrailleuses thero. I found myself alone for a moment, during which I made along the walls and run. I have tears In my eyes and am really In despair. Believed to Be Dead. "An officer of tho Chasseurs Alpins comes out of the village with me. He has a bravo alr, with his cap pulled down over his eyes, revolver In one hand nnd sword In the other. 'Follow me, mon petit,' he cries. 'We have no time to escape; they aro tiring down upon us.

Wo stay for nine hours in this position, watching carefully to see if they are coming to take us. At nightfall we creep out and regain the French camp, where they believed me dead. "The third charge Is more terrible still. It takes place at X o'clock in (lie morning. The flashes of rifles ami the shouting are horrible, and the fire Is so terrible that we throw ourselves to tho ground for a minute. It is deafening. We fire and advance crawling. We are worn out. Following the Colors. "Suddenly the commanding officer gets up and leads forward again with the b:iyonet. The colors are just in front of me and give me courage. We rush forward. It is a terrible tight, In the houses where they are for ever sheltering. We bring them quickly down and there are only the cries of the wounded to be heard: 'Come to me. I am ill. Mother, something to drink!' It is pitiful to hear. "The stretcher-bearers aro picking the wounded up smartly under fire. We run forward ou the Boches, who fly in a regular rout, leaving everything behind them, bags oi provisions, ■bottles of stolen champagne. "But these gentry, seeing that our artillery is coming up In the first line, want to take it. The hill is black with Boches, who are returning, shouting as they come. It is impressive; they are singing, 'Deutschland uber .\lles.' Are they going to overwhelm us? They fire as they run. Our captain calls out, 'You are sending us German rubbish: we are going to send you tk, ""\iris article.* "A bullet from the enemy stretches him out stark dead. Our 'TEI' fires into the German mass at li_0 metres. The gun ceases. 'Now it is our turn. Chnrge!' and we are all mixed up to- getber—Chasseurs, AJpins, engiueerc. infantrymen, even gunners.

President's RenOrt. Following was the report of the' president; ,., "In presenting the annual report we wish to congratulate the society i the successful year which ended Dec. .31 last. We have to express regret that o-ivtirg to circumstances be* yond our control the expectations of 'be board with respect to the build* 'ng of a new hospital have not been -arrled out. However, all prellmtor ary arrangements have, been made *-r commencing, this .work. Early In the year the question of site was taken up by the finance committee, which eported to the hill board un'tavqr- ibly to the proposal of taking over 'he old cemetery property from the "Ity and recommending that the new building be constructed on the present site. The next step token by your board was to confer with the city council In connection with submitting a bylaw In aid df the new hospital: ind the result of conferences between We finance committees or the council ind your board was the settling of a basis ot agreement, namely, that In consideration of the hospital paying to the city treasurer monthly a puff!- -.lent amount to meet the annual in* la-out „.,A s'nKm* fund the cltv would submit debentures to the amount of $30,000. Th|s agreement was dulv executed and the bylaw submitted snd nsesed. We are pleased ,lo report that 'he hos-ital board has been able to carry out its part of this agreement and hn» made the stlnulated payments -ocularly, so immediately the debentures are sold we shall be able to go ahead. Agreement With Railway Men. "The next most Important: matter dealt wltb by the hoard durlne. the vear was the contract with the Cana- 'lan Pacific Railway Employees' Med- 'cal association whereby tbe railway employees have been since treated at the hospital, to the satls'aotlon, we believe, of both the employees and -bo >*oard. "The hard times have forced upon the hoard the necessity of facing the Vtnntion. and tbe reduction in revenue owing to bad debts and other ■•iuses has been met ln part, by ^reductions In the salaries of the staff. wMcb we hone will be only temporary. The board wishes to express its an- nreclation of tbe cheerful manner In which the staff accepted this situation and did Its part in th'e emera- eticv. Some further economies were effected bv reductions In the number/ of the staf. "Tbe bus'ness for 1914 was practl- p»lly the same as In 1018. the num- •w o' dsvs' treatment In 1913 being 10,798 and In 1914, ,10,740. "I would refer you to the financial "tarement. wh'ch soeaks for Itself, as to the oire with which the affairs of the hospital have been conducted. Tbe. building fund has been Increased by over $2.nnn and the Capital account by over $800. "Anothe* matter the board has had to face ie the large nercentaee of lot-fin the maternity .branch, principally occasioned by patients from outside tbe city. Tbe board.haa taken this question up with the -provincial government with a view to. having tbe government grant paid for maternity oatlents at the samo rate as general patients." * The retiring directors of the Institution were all re-elected, as follows: J.
