These questions and the reply of Japan thereto arc as follows: The United States inquired concerning Japan's demand that In the province of Fuklcu, Japan shall have tin: right to work mines, build railways and construct harbor works, and In case ot the employment ot foreigu capital that Japan shall bo first considered. The Japanese government replied that these concessions were desired for the primary purpose of preventing other nations from acqulr- lug special rights thore, Japan understanding that Americans wish to build dockyards in the harbor of Santuao. This position is of great strategic importance, Japan pointed out, because of tbe desirability of Its use for directing operations against Formosa In cane of war. The second question concerned the Japanese demand for supervision over the manufacture or purchase of war munitions by China. The Japanese government expressed the oplniou that this question could bo solved most satisfactorily by the employment of mixed forces of Japanese aud Chinese, u system which Japan says already exists. The third question dealt with the Japanese demands that the Chinese police certain places, but administered by Chinese und Japanese, or that China shall employ Japanese lo organize the Chinese police. The Jup- anese government replied that this demand applied only to the southern Manchuria districts. The fourth question concerned the. demand for appointment by China of Japanese political advisers.

The fifth question related to the demand Japan wus said to have made that "no island, port or harbor along the coast shall bu ceded or leased to n third party."

LOOTO-V, April 6.—The followlug humorous Incident of trench life was related at tho orfice ot the Canadian Press association by an otficer who Is on sick leave: The Germans in a trench not 100 yards away from tlie Canadian position called out to know what their foes had ou their bill of fare for dinner. Now the Germans have a particular appetite for sardines aud as this canned luxury happened to bo one of the things on tbe list that day there were many appeals for tho Canadians to pass some ovor. A trooper was sent out to deposit half a dozen tins in a bunch hull way between the trenches. Lator a German hopped out of his trench to secure the sardines, but as the tins were uttached to a piece of string and had begun a retreat equal to the pace of tho venturesome "Fritz" the attempt to secure them was soon abandoned Fear of treachery probably was OP' posed to his like for sardines.

London HearsTerritory Has Been Invaded ITALY fEARS PEACE MS HAY BE HE Hopes Austria Will Continue to Fight Beside Germany (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, April 3.—There were persistent rumors in London this evening that Germany had either declared war on Holland or that its troops had occupied Unit strip of Dutch territory that extends rrom the Belgian frontier on the coast to the river Scheldt. Tho reports lack confirmation and aro not credited by those who should know If either action had heen taken. It is possible that the reports arose from the news received in the last few days from Dutch sourcus that tho Germans were strengthuning their positions around the Dutch frontier and that much uneasiness prevailed at Tho Hague and other Dutch ciMes as a result of the seizure or sinking of Dutch steamers by German submarines. The Dutch aro strongly opposed to intervention in tho war but their army is ready to repel any invasion of Dutch territory, complete preparations with that object in view having been mado long ago. Austrian Peace Move Not Believed. Another diplomatic report which has created much interest is that from Home to the effect that Austria Is seeking a separate peace with Russia. This also lacks confirmation and is not credited as it Is not considered likely that Germany would bo sending reinforcements to the Carpathians if thero wero any doubt of Austria's loyalty to Its ally. Italy, howover, takes a more serious view than the othor nations for should It prove to be true ft would end its hops of gaining territorial accession from Austria. However, the stubborn way In Which Austria Is resisting tho Russian advance iu the Carpathians seems to contradict tho suggestion that It is ready to seek peace.

' YORKTON, Sask., April 8.—Pro- mier Scott was the principal speaker at a meeting pr&moted by the loot ure committee of the Banish the Bar league this evening, when he discussed thy government's proposed temperance legislation. Mr, Hcott slated lhat he was glod to know that the government's attitude found favor with the temperance people and as to the proposed dlSpoil- saries he was glad to be informed that there was a desire of (.nlightunmenf as to the manner of their operation. Primarily the government had taken this course on account of the war and the action of closing tho bars during tho wnr was tu deference to public opinion. As tho government has not yet the power to stop the importation or manufacture of liquor, continued tlie premier, one of two alternatives was forced upon the government; either tb place the province under total prohltiC- tlon or take over tho wholesalo liquor business and run It as a govemmorit dispensary. Tho government will take over the wholesalo houses aud run them under the same regulallons as they aro now governed by. "While the regulations for governing tlie dispensaries had hot yel been thoroughly considered, a capable business man would be appointed to manage the dispensaries. This man would have an absolutely free hand and tho appointment of local managers would not bo subject to influences which usually govern the appointment of government employees. The business would bo entirely out of government hands and it was determined to administer tho law so as to satisfy thu people nnd make It a complete success. PAGE TWO ■**■ Cbe Balli? jSeM.

DOMINION BOTANIST DEFENDS NEW BRUNSWICK POTATOES Unfair and deliberately untrue reports have been wldclyi circulated throughout the western provinces concerning the use of seed of New (Brunswick and other maritime provinces potatoes. This rumor appears to have originated 'rom certain potato dealers who misrepresented and exaggerated the true condition of affairs In order to exclude the maritime provinces from competing with other provinces In the seed potato markets. The fact Is that the Dominion government has recently inaugurated a potato inspection service In the maritime provinces, which provides for the inspection and certification of all potatoes shipped outside the lower provinces. Any seed merchant, farmer or other person who desires to secure seed stock from the maritime provinces has simply to indicate when ordering them that he requires first grade potatoes. This -grade is sold only in sealed containers with a federal government label attached to each container, certifying that such potatoes were (1) grown on land free from infection with diseases specified under the De- structive Insect and Pest act; (2) from clean seed; (3) have not been In contact with any source of infection; (4) are carried in containers which have not previously held potatoes, were inspected by a plant disease inspector of the Dominion of Canada, and are 'believed by him to he free from insect pests and plant diseases. The label attached is of green color and has printed thereon in prominent type "First Grade Potatoes." The Inspectors, In addition, cause all bruised and undersized potatoes to be removed. From this statement of the true facts it will be seen that potatoes thus certified will be of superior quality. There is absolutely no foundation for the alarming rumors. New Brunswick potatoes are perfectly safe for seed purposes. H. T. GUSSOW, Dominion Botanist. Although she has concentrated her army along tho Austrian border and her navy is within striking distance ot tho Adriatic, Italy is still endeavoring to exhaust every means which may lead to a peaceful settlement with Austria. Advices from .Rome indicate that even should Italy become embroiled In the war she wiii not strike for some time. It Is believed in Rome that the decisive struggle among the nations now at war will not begin before the early summer. The Austrian correspondent of a Turin newspaper telegraphs that he hns reliable information that there Is a basis for tho reports that Austria Is seeking peace with tho triple entente powers, the better to deal with Italy. Semi-official negotiations, he said, havo begun. . Losses In Men 5,900,000. , The losses of men during the first six months of the war are estimated by a Rome military expert at 5,900,- 000. The coBt of war tn that period Is placed ut $8,400,000,000. Gen. Pau of the French army, who has reached Naples on the way from Petrograd and the Balkan capitals, corroborates the reports that the allies are preparing for a combined land and sea attack at the Dardanelles. When this attack is made, the general says, the Turkish fortifications must fall. Austrian aviators dropped several bombs yesterday at Potfgorlha, Montenegro. A Cettlnjg despatch says that 12 women and children were killed nnd 48 other persons wounded. Austrian Wing's Position Precarious. Russian troops are pushing rapidly forward in the Carpathians, and It is reported from Petrograd that the road to the plains ot Hungary now lies open before them. According lo this Information, the Russians hava captured Smolnlk, east ot Lupkow pass, and have driven a wedge between the western and eastern wings of the Austrian army in the Besklds, placing the eastern wing In a precarious position. Both the French and German official statements show that the new battle in the region between the Meuse and the Moselle has developed into a struggle of particular severity. The Paris announcement says that gains heretofore made by the allies have been maintained In the face of violent counter attacks, in which the Germans suffered greatly. It Is announced officially In Cairo that a small Turkish force Is still In the vicinity of the Suez canal. A skirmish occurred near the canal yesterday, with no casualties. GILLETTS • LYE* PRISONERS SHOT BY ESCORT An extraordinary story is told by a young memner of the 104th Flench infantry regiment who has returned to Paris. "On Aug. 22, at Ethe, in Belgium," he says, "after a murderous engagement we wore ordered to stay behind and pick up the wounded and bury the dead. No warning reached us that our men were retreating, and we were still in the village when the next day at !1 a.m. a German patrol made theb appearance, followed shortly afterward by two regiments. Both the patrol and the officers ot the regiment assured us that the 'Red Cross attendants would not be touched. Later on a third regiment arrived and under pretext that they had been fired on by women—there was nothing to prove the charge but their word, so orders were given to burn the village. All the French soldiers —about 200—were ordered to draw up the main street, range themselves In columns by fours, and throw up their hands. "Then at the point of the bayonet wo were marched off into a deserted street. On the way a command rang out und we were shot down by our escort, point bliinli. Moro than 20 of us were killed outright, self, I was grazed by Lady—I've brought back this war map you sold me yesterday, Mr. Brown. It's not up to date. I've heen looking all the morning for Armageddon and can't find it marked any- where. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious, hut delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to 'build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy," she says, "I have not 'been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the thigh school but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me, and I grew thin and despondent. 1 sould not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. "This wretched condition continued' until I became Interested in tho letters of those who had cases Just like [mino and who wero being helped by eating Grape-Nuts. "I had little faith, hut procured a Vkg. and after the first dish I experienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and reBted better that night and in a few days began to grow stronger. "I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studies and later taught ten months with ease —using Grape-Nuts every day. I am now the mistress of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned. Nome given by Canadian Postum Co,, Windsor, Ont, [Read "The Itoad to Wellvllle" la Pkgs.

The wounded and unwounded were then marched back to the village square. All those who were able to walk were grouped with the civilians—the latter, old and young alike, had been forced, to quit their cellars—and marched into a field by the side of a sawmill. There we were told to halt. Some 00 soldiers kept guard over us. "Suddenly the soldiers began firing volleys into the mass. I throw myself down. Two of my comrades tell dead on top of me. Their blood trickled on to my face. Several volleys were fired, the women being forced to look on in tlie background. The soldiers then retired with the ex- ceptlon of a few who remained behind and began to prod with their bayonets the bodies of those who were still breathing. An officer came up and ordered them away. "About midday, other soldiers appeared. Mounting on the piled up bodies, they begun to seek out those who were still alive. I felt their boots and the weight of their bodies on me, but I did not budge. About 8 o'clock In the evening somo men came with picks and spades to bury the dead. As, howover, some of the victims were still alive, they carried them away to the ambulance which had been set up in the Malrie. I seized this opportunity to make my escapo by wading through the stream running round the field. I was in a terrible state; my clothes were covered with blood. On me were the brains of some ot my murdered comrades. 1 made for a neighboring wood and lay concealed there all next day." The soldier then tells how he and six companions lived on beet root, nuts and blackberries for 16 days, and although hunted by dogs, ultimately escaped into [Holland. The youngest girl of a Baltimore family was recently much distressed at dessert to discover that there was Ice cream for dinner. "Oh, papa," exclaimed tho young ster, reproachfully, "why didn't the; toll me this morning that we were ed the principles of the bill but reserved his opinion as to the delays pending the discussion in committee. Dr. Michael Clark emphasized the point that Lord Kitchener had not yet been consulted. He quoted Lord Kitchener's statement that "as a soldier 'he had no politics." He believed that this was his attitude toward this proposal. ■Mr. Meighen did not think Lord Kitchener would take this view. Ho had allowed a vote of New Zealand soldiers to he taken and would not refuse a similar request on behalf of those of Canada. Other speakers included R. B. Bennett, E. M. Macdonald, F. Kay (Mis- sissquol), W. H. Bennett (North 81m- coe), and W. W. Lodge (Northumberland). Has Been Done Elsewhere. Continuing his speech on the bill to give votes to the soldiers the minister of Justice said that the measure did not create a new precedent. At tho time of the civil war no less than 13 states provided a franchise for the soldiers and 160,000 votes wore registered under those laws in 1801. In that case the different military units elected election officers, who held polls and took the votes in the ordinary way. Australia had a similar measure that absentees may cast their votes. The Australian bill extends to persons resident more than five miles from the poll and also Co those who are ill or Infirm. In Tasmania there Is a law for absentee voting which is almost Identical to that proposed here, with the exception that it is in general application and does not involve Ithe Interposition of military officers. Even In England the Idea was not absolutely new. In 1010 a bill was Introduced In the British house of commons to allow fishermen to vote. The principle of this measure was approved by the carrying of the second reading, but the bill tailed to paBs owing, Mr. Doherty understood, to the pressure of public business. New Zealand Worked It. New Zealand has passed a law for precisely the purpose of the present bill to enable soldiers who had left New Zealand to vote in the election that was then to be held. Under this legislation returning officers were appointed to act outside New Zealand. The ballot was practically identical to that proposed in the Canadian bill and It was forwarded to the chief electoral officer in New Zealand as was here provided. Mr. Doherty remarked that the New Zealand parliament had left the organization of the machinery entirely to the government to settle, while the Canadian government was making provision for the machinery of the bill. Hon. Charles Murphy asked if au answer had been received in regard to the alleged election in New Zealand in reply to the cable sent by the clerk of the committee on electoral reform. Mr. Doherty replied that the premier of New Zealand had replied that the bill to give soldiers votes had been passed, that it provided for the recording of the votes of the soldiers who had left New Zealand before the general election and that 10,000 soldiers had votes under that act. Soldiers Have Right. Mr. Murphy asked if Mr. Doherty knew where the votes had been cast. Mr. Doherty replied that he could not say, but that wherever the soldiers were they were outside of New Zealand. New Zealand, he said, had solved the iproblem which was now before Canadians. It was not the first time that little New Zealand had Bet a good example and he believed that Canada would make no mistake in following it. Mr. Doherty said the question had been raised as to the sincerity with which he brought forward this bill. He spoke to the house with absolute sincerity when he stated that he believed the bill to be absolutely right. Objections to it seem to be founded on the idea that the operations of voting would necessarily involve ignoble strife. He could not conceive that dissentlon would be brought Into the ranks of the soldiers merely because they were given a vote. Above the right of the soldiers to have a vote was Canada's right to have her people vote. Sir Wilfrid Opposes It. Sir Wilfrid Laurler said that ho would approach the measure, as Mr. Doherty had requested, in a spirit of impartiality and candor. No one would be disposed to raise any question if the object of the measure could be obtained consistently with the spirit of Canada's constitution. But tho measure was, he would not say revolutionary, but it was more extended than anything which he had ever seen on the statute books. He was thoroughly familiar with the legislation of 1864 In the United States, but he was not aware that any of the states had created a new franchise at that time. They had merely provided that thOBe who had the franchise and who were at the front should be able to cast their votes. But the first disposition of the present hill was to create a new franchise. Sir Wilfrid next dealt with Mr. FOR MAKING SOAP, SOFTENING WAfllt, CLEANING AND DISINFECTING SINKS, CLOSETS, DRAINS. AND FOR MANY OTHER| PURPOSES. THE STANDARD ARTICLE Why Do French Women Always Look Young ? ling IO IULVU iuo v. "What difference would that have ilghed the child. "X could have expected It all day." In France mothers and daughters look like sistere. How are the women there able to retain their youthful looks until long past middle age? Is it because they ere much given to the use of mercoliaed wax? This wax possesses a remarkable absorbent property which quickly removes the fine particles of cuticle which are constantly dying and which are the immediate cause of an old-looking complexion. Thus the livelier, healthier, younger akin beneath is given a chance to breathe and show itself. Try this treatment yourself. Most likely It will not require two weeks to make your complexion as clear, ■oft and beautiful aa a young girl's. Just one ounce of mercolised wax (all American druggists have tt) usually does the work. The wax la put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings. •• s Another valuable secret with which" the French ate familiar is how to quickly remove wrinkles. One ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in a half pint witch ha- »!, makes a marvelously effective astring- ■ ont lotion. The face should be bathed in I this dally until even the deepest lines are affected. Doherty's statement that the man who was good enough to share in the light was good enough also to take part In the administration of the country. That, said Sir Wilfrid, was nothing but words, as was shown by the very first words of this bill, This bill was limited to British subjects; but here were hundreds, pet-haps thousands, of Americana who had crossed the border and enlisted in Canada's forces to take tholr part in this fight. Thousand's of Americans who were In Purls when, war broke out had given up tho life of luxury and taken up that of the soldier In this fight for Prance, for the Empire and for civilization. By a parity of reasoning these Americans should be civen the franchise. But no one thought of that. Again, said Sir Wilfrid, there were hundreds of young men under the age of 21 who had risked everything lo take their share in this fight. The bill dm not contemplate giving them the franchise. Why? Because It was a recognized principle that the franchise should bo entrusted only to those who wero of age.. No Special Consideration. Proceeding Slr. Wilfrid said there would always be certain people who cannot exercise their franchise. Tbe other day In considering the amendments to the elections act it was agreed that railway men such as conductors and firemen could not be allowed to vote If by doing so traffic was disturbed. It would not he fair co make any difference between railway men and the soldiers, Canadians are all proud of the soldiers, he said, but the soldier is no moro entitled than any other class to special consldera- 'tlon. Special provision is made for tlie soldier and his calling by the providing for pensions lor himself and dependents and provision Is made for his old age. In regard to the franchise all subjects of the King are on an equality. As to tho soldier at home he can without doubt be permitted to vote where ho Is registered. Sir Wilfrid then went on to argue that when tho Canadian soldiers go abroad they are no longer under the control of the Dominion parliament. They become a part of the British, army under the control of the British war office and the war office alone could sanction this bill. The government by this bill was endeavoring to impose- new duties on officers of tho British army. In that respect every line of this bill was so much waste paper. Opposes Radical Departure. Another radical departure In the bill, Sir Wilfrid maintained, ia that if it becomes'law the soldiers will not vote for candidates but for a party. It is the first time anything of this kind has been attempted. It was impossible in an election contest lor the elector to entirely disassociate the candidate und the party. By way of illustration ho mentioned that at the last general election Sir 'Robert Borden had headed the'pole In the double constituency of Halifax city His running mate was not elected, However, the second winning candidate being A. W Maclean, Liberal. Many Conservatives "had deserted the party for a candidate. Foresees Difficulties. Sir Wilfrid said he was In favor of tho soldier having a vote If It were possible for him to vote. Tlie proposed legislation was radically wrong in other respects. The bill did not define what officer would secure the votes of the soldiers. Would It be a general commanding a division, the colonel commanding a regiment, or tho captain commanding a company? Thero was in the bill no definition as to what officers would collect votes. Provision was made for sending the papers through the secretary of tho high commissioner in London. There were at present 30,000 Canadians in France but the units which existed in Canada aro no longer the same. They oro scattered throughout the British army. To whom would the secretary of the high commissioner send tho necessary documents? The minister of justice had made no effort to solve this problem. The secretary of tho high commissioned would know where these officers are only through the grace of the war office. Touching on another aspect of tho question Sir Wilfrid remarked that "elections are elections." They mean passion and strife and a searching- for votes. While at the present time war la tho supreme issue -other considerations would influence an election. How wero the soldiers at the front to be instructed as to these issues? By this bill tho government would sanction the canvassing of soldiers in trenches. It was questionable how this would be received by the army authorities The soldiers could also "be canvassed by mail and the trenches of Flanders would be flooded by the kind of literature of which he.had -given the house a sample at the morning session. (The •pamphlet "Laurler and Quebec'1 which the opposition leader had complained of at the morning sitting of the house.) Doubts Officers' Integrity. Sir Wilfrid next dealt with the provisions to secure a fair election. Under the ordinary election law (scrutineers were present to prevent frauds. In the heat of an election the most respectable citizens would take liberties with the law ■ which', they would not take for their "own affairs.- The pas< sion to win made them callous. Was there anything to Justify the idea that passion would be silent on the other side of. .the water, simply because the elections were being held in khaki? Tho only reason given by the minister of justice Was that he was trust- A Lady's Wardrobe At this season of the year requires replenishing. Is It a Dress ?

SMILLIE & WEIR DRESSMAKING PARLORS UPSTAIRS LADIES' WEAR SPECIALISTS I No one held the British officer in higher esteem than did Sir Wilfrid himself but the British army was composed of men and: the officers were therefore fallible. Fears Offenses Against Law. Consequently it must he assumed that there might be offenses against the law at the front. Now what dispositions did the bill make to prevent offenses? The provisions of the hill constituted no precautions at all. Therj was an open door for the violation of the law and fraud against the electors. What was there to insure, he asked, that the envelope and the vote would not be tampered with? The minister of justice had said that Canada must trust the British officers; but the minister had not trusted them altogether. He had placed penalties in the law against wrong-doing. If he had foreseen the possibility of the infraction of the law that was an answer to his statement that he trusted to tho honor of the "British officer. And if the law did provide penalties, of what value were these penalties? How would the minister enforce these penalties? Would they not be a dead letter? There was no court to enforce them. The offense would not be committed in Canada and consequently Canadian courts could not enforce the penalty. The cases might be tried in Germany because Canadian troops might be in Berlin at that time. Makes Other Objections. There was another objection which had heen called attention to by Dr. Clark. Why had not the government consulted the war office? The minister had said it was because the local politics of Canada were a matter of Indifference to I-«rd Kitchener. But what was not a matter of indifference to Lord Kitchener was the discipline of the army. Would it be a matter cf indifference to that disciple if one section of the army—the Canadians- would be allowed to vote white- another section would not? This was introducing a new spirit into the army, a spirit which was pet found consistent with public opinion in Great Britain. Under these ■jt*,r*uir- stances it was the first duty of the government to have consulted tl'e British authorities. There was still another consideration: ll0W would such a law affect tho movement of the army? Canadians all hoped and believed that tho allied armies would drive tho enemy hack into the heart of'tho enemy'3 country. This could not be accomplished In a day or a month or pernaps tn a. season. Battles were Imminent. They were not fought in one day or thret days-—they might last Into weeks. Part of the Canadian a*"iv might be engaged In battle and would not be able to vote whilo *.Ua r*»in\inrJe. would be able. Sir Wilfrid concluded by stating that this measure, looking at It dispassionately, was ill-considered In Its principles and still more Ill-considered in Its disposition. Tho Liberal leader sat down amid the cheers of his followers. Will Not Penalize Soldiers—Borden Amid answering cheers the premier rose to express his surprise at the tone of the speech of the opposition leader. He remarked that when the idea was i first suggested by Mr. Frlpp (Ottawa) there bad been a pretty strong approval of the principle expressed on the Liberal side. But the right lion, gentleman had taken strong ground against the measure. No one, said the premier, had been disposed to underestimate the difficulties of providing sufficient safeguards without depriving the soldiers of the vote. Therefore the bill had been sent to a special committee and the measure now before the house was founded on the report of that committee, "I take the ground," declared Sir Robert, "that men. who are risking their lives in order that the liberties and Institutions of this Empire should be preserved should not be penalized by being .deprived of the right to vote." Sir Robert went on to say that the Liberal leader had mado some singular objections to the hill. Taking his speech all through he was not sure whether Sir Wilfrid was opposed to the bill in its entirety or whether he was disposed to give the franchise to the men who were already entitled to it under the present law.

Then, retorted the premier, a great deal of the right hou. gentleman's speech goes by the board because his argument would support the bill. Would Give Their Lives "I say that the men who arc willing to give tholr Uvea In defense of their country are entitled to vote whether they are on the list or not, and I would be disposed to give them the vote whether they had reached tho age of 21 years or not. We all know that an arbitrary age has to be fixed by law .but some young men at 17 or IS years of age arc as well developed physically and mentally as others at 25. These who have gone to the front have shown physical and mental de velopment which would enable them to vote If any men are entitled to vote." Again Sir Wilfrid said that there would bo men In Canada who would not be able to record their votes, Sir Robert ventured to state that there was a clear distinction between men who were carrying on tholr own business at home and those who had gone to the front to sacrifice their lives for their country. He ventured to think that the fathers and brothers and sisters of those who had gone to the front would not look at this question In tho Bame cold-blooded way as it had been looked at by the leader of the opposition, Again Sir Wilfrid had said that the soldiers In France could not be authorized to vote under a law passed by the Canadian parliament. That eon admission men on the lists should he allowed to vote. Sir Wilfrid—1 said If you could Hnd a means of providing for it. Why Not Help Government?

UNREST IN RANKS OF GERMAN SOCIALISTS SHOWN PARIS.—I/Humantt, by means oC ita private coiTespomlent on tho Swiss frontier who Msiis his articles "Home" \h keeping tho French publie ably informed of tiio Rrowinp dlssenlions in tho ranks nf the German Socialist Democracy. In a loading article commenting on the latest news regarding the developing unrest among German Socialists, it says, that should somo of tho recent utterances of Bornstoin in tho Bremer Burgezciiung bo thoroughly apprehended by the German proletariat, It could bo said that the emplro as a political regime is at an end. The correspondent on tho Swiss frontier, however, is careful to warn Ids readers that there should be no expectation of any immediate effects of this opposition movement in the very heart of Social Democracy, although It is of official importance to invito careful attention. Us most recent symptoms have shown themselves In several dlivctlon.-i. At a recent meeting In Sutuugart by the opposition section of tlie Social Democrats 800 citizens attended and unanimously supported Leibknecht's standpoint. Tho meeting was held with the cognizance of tho police and It will be remembered that a few months ago in the same city, Leigknecht was forbidden by the police to speak on a similar subject. At Frankfurt-on-the-Main a split In tho party wn» only prevented by the direct intervention of tho Partcivor- stand, the executive of the Social Democrats, who was obliged to consent for tho direction of the Frankfort paper on which tho opposition will be represented. At the recent session of the Prussian landta~ somo of the Social Democrats, having quoted Karl Kautsky as a supporter of their chauvinist views, Kautsky protested saying that tn the Interest of the party he had refrained from discussions but that ho had certainly not identified himself with all that has taken place. He has noticed that slnco Aug. 4, a number of comrades had modified their former views moro and moro and had fallon i..to "imperialism" but ho believed that these wero but exceptions and had therefore maintained his optimistic at titude. As to tho VorweaTts ho considered that its reservo, which 1 ad been so criticized wan absolutely necessary In tiie circumstances. He concluded by protesting against the action of those who would make use of his articles to suppor opinion with which he did not agree. So great lb the criticism occasioned by tho attitude of tho Vorwearls says "Homo" that tho chauvinist Democrats published a:, article in their paper pro posing the organization of a second great Socialist organ in Berlin on which tho Partelvorstand would have at least some influence. It was in reference to tlie same discussion in the Prussian Landtag as called forth Kautsky's protest that Edward Bernostin published that Bereme Burgegerzcitung an articlo denouncing those member of tho Social Democratic party who were endeavoring to identify the military point of view willi that of the. workmen's party and organization. Speaking against those who would not hear peace spoken of in Germany and who defended themselves by pointing to the attltudo of the French Socialists, Bernstein says: "The Socialists of Franco are In an entirely different situation from that of the Socialists of Germany. It is against tl.eir country that war Is declared; important portions of their country are occupied by German troops which makeB it easy to understand that they cannot without compromising its future lift their voices in favor of peace." every Woman Can Use and ought to use occasionally, a proper remedy for the headache, backache, languor, nervousness and depression to which she may be subject These troubles and others are symptoms of debility and poor circulation caused by indigestion or constipation PlLLi are at once safe, certain and convenient They clear the system and purify the blood.

That ihe government, at Ottawa should have heen able to find means to overcome the difficulties in the way of arranging for soldiers to vote In the event of an election during the war will he a cause of deep gratification to the people of Cannda.' There are few indeed in this Dominion who would say that the men who are offering their lives for thoir country and for their Empire, the men who are making the supreme sacrifice, should be compelled to forego the right to say how their country shall be governed because they have taken up arms to defend that which to all of the British people is most dear. That It is practicable to take the vote is made obvious by the information which has been secured by the government. Ten thousand New Zealand troops wbile on active service voted during this war and data secured regarding procedure under similar circumstances in other countries, including Australia, has enabled the government to offer a plan which will co-ordinate with the election practise In this country. In the course of his speech in which he stated the opposition of the Liberal party to the proposal Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that, the soldier is not entitled to any special consideration. That is a view which will meet with scant support in Canada. Tho people of the Dominion believe that the soldiers who nre offering their lives for the British principles of freedom and justice and good government should retain their right to a voice in the conduct of their country's affairs. AN AUSTRIAN AUTHOR.ANSWERS GERMAN CMARGfc. From au Austrian professor has come a book on Great. Britain and tho war which is in striking contrast, to the chants of blind hate which have emanated Ifiom German professors. The book has been published in Vienna. Speaking or Ihe book the Berlin Vorwaerts, the Socialist, organ, remarks that Dr. Landauor recalls, in answer to the German charge that Great. 'Britain desired the struggle, that a whole series of crises threatening to break Into war terminated "peacefully owing to English efforts." He continues; Every one moderately acquainted with England must admit that, a hostile feeling among the English people toward the German right up to Ihe last days before the outbreak ot war cannot be said to have existed. The English people Indeed at times feared an Anglo-German war, but never desired it, least of all at the moment when it broke out, just when tiie fear ot a German attack had diminished. Whoever has made the acquaintance of this people in the intimacy of its homes and observed how In work and in pleasure it knows how tn preserve order as its own policeman, whoever is convinced of the dignity which this people displays la bearing national adversity, such a one can never possibly believe that this people has become criminal against itself and Ihe human race British nctlons and sentiment, prior to the war have not been better or more concisely stated. TRANSFER OF DACIA SHOWN TO HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL. The case of the steamer Dacla, which was transferred tinting the war from German to American registry and taken Into port b> a French warship while on Its way to Germany with a cargo of cotton, has been simplified by proceedings which are taking place before courts in the United States. When th« vessel was transferred to the American flag definite assurances were given to Great Britain and France that tho transfer waB perfectly legal and that it was not designed "to evade the consequences of enemy nationality." At that time the opinion was expressed in the American press that if tho Bhlp were seized by the allies the action would be high-handed and It was Intimated that it would be regarded as an affront to the United States. Egon von Novelly, an Austrian ship broker in New York, and Edward W. Breltung are now engaged in an action In an American court to decide upon the ownership of the steamer. When sue sail It was asserted that Breltung, an American citizen, was the sole proprietor, ft is now being shown that Novelly lias an interest, although the court has to decide upon tho proportion of that interest. The fact that the transfer was intended to enable the steamer to evade the consequences of enemy nationality is shown by the agreement upon which the sale from the original owner, the Hamburg-American line, was made. It was stipulated that the vessel must only bo employed in trading with Austria, Germany or some neutral country. That agreement alone would make the ship a. legitimate prize of war. The proceedings in tho American court should assist the French prize court before which the position of the vessel under International law is being argued. FARM CREDITS BILL WILL BE AID TO MARKETING. One of tho problems with which the ranchers of British Columbia have had to contend in their efforts to establish successful co-operative marketing organizations has been the lack of sufficient produce to handle on an economical basis. That condition has often been emphasized at meetings of the Kootenay Fruit. Growers' union and similar associations as having proved one of the most serious handicaps which had to be overcome. With a small turnover the overhead expenses were found to be crushing, while sales could not be made to the best advantage. An important factor in remedying this condition will be the Agricultural Credits act which provides for loans to farmers by the government at low- rates of interest The agricultural industry of. British Columbia has reached a stage at which cheap money is a necessity and directly the condition of the world's money markets permits tbe act to become operative it may confidently be predicted there will be a rapid increase in British Columbia's output of form produce. Settlement will be stimulated and those who are already on the land will be enabled to augment, their production. Co-operative organizations will be given the opportunity to do business on a scale which, with efficient management, will ensure success. The camels will not worry because the government of Egypt haB prohibited the sale of absinthe in that, country. "God punish America" is Germany's latest cry. Beginning to share up the hate In order to make England jealous? The military critic of the Berliner Tngcblntt tells the German people they must drop their "fantastic world policy" and concentrate their efforts on protecting their homes. Is the frustration of vaunting ambition bringing sanity in its train! Reporting the destruction of his nnvy off Trafalgar by the British fleet under Nelson Napoleon sa Id: "Storms caused me to lose some sliips of the line alter a tight, imprudently engaged." The kalsor, a would-be emperor ot Europe hut lacking Napoleon's genius, also belittles 'British victories, through hie Berlin press bureau. Liberal papers which quoted with glee some remarks on Canadian naval matters by a naval correspondent of tbe London Morning Post, a newspaper which is more interested in opposing Winston Churchill than in Canadian affairs, are now saying that the London Times should mind Us own business becauso that paper, the most powerful in Great Britain, states that the Liberals at Ottawa are tn blame because Canada has not been able to play her full part In the naval warfare of the Empire. So serious has the shortage ot dyes become that.if the war lasts another six months it is feared there will be a dye famine which will make blacks and naturals about the only shades available in this country. It is said the British capitalists who, with the assistance of a government loan, had proposed to establish dye factories In England, have abandoned the scheme because ot lack ot protective duty to ensure them a market for their product against competition from Germany when the war ceases. To Miss ina JlcAdam, private secretary to General Sum Hughes, belongs the credit of the Invention of the pat- oat shovel and shield with which some of the troops at the front have been equipped. Jllss McAdum patented the invention in order to protect It against use by other governments but. has not taken any royalty upon the Implement. MIbs McAdum deserves credit both [or her Inventive ability and for her patriotism in giving the Empire the benefit ot it without making any royalty charge.

Tho tragedy occurred at title family home, while the children were at play. It was tho little children who found their parents in a'pool ot blood when they came in for thoir evening meal. The eldest of the three children is nine years old, and tlto youngest, said to illegitimate, is two months. Fox was 40 and his wife 28 years of np>„ Tbo story is a, sordid ono. It is said that a nephow of the murderer, Stan ley Marklewlch, is the father of this child. It is related that Marklewlch on Saturday last -made confession of his relations with Mrs. Pox to tho pastor of the Polish church, and the latter advised him to make a full confession to the husband, who was Markie- wlch's benefactor, having brought him out from Poland and given him a home in Winnipeg. The nephow acted on this advice and Mrs. Fox, it iB said, confessed also. Tho next morning Markiewinh bad become inHano. The pollco were sent for and bo was committed to the Selkirk asylum. Because of his two children Fox consented to live with his wife but he kept worrying over his trouble. He demanded that tho baby be placed in a foundling home but tho wife couldi not get it admitted without paying for Its upkeep. Today Fox said that the child must be taken away from his home and It is thought that on his return the sight of it again maddened him and tho murder waa the outcome of his fury. There is no hope of his recovery;. ,. _ __„.^_ _ VOTER SEES WAR ENDED BEFORE CLOSE OF THIS MONTH A now opinion of when the war will ond has been received, 'l'h.s voter thinks the Olid of Ap'.l am! of the war will be almost shnu.fanenus; A clipping from an English paper was also received and 't sets forth a belief, weirdly, exprcssil, that April will seo the strugsf.o ended It reads: ■'THE WAR WILL BE OVER IN APRIL.' A correspondent living at New York, Lincolnshire, who has supplied the Daily Express will) his name, but does not wish it to be published, sends them the following stories: An old lady living near here, close to the tower on the moor, who had been deaf and dumb all her life, died few days ago. She sat up in bed and said: "The war will be over In April," and she then fell hack dead. She had, of course, discussed the war with her children in the deaf and dumb language, but had not previously been known to speak. To couple with this, a few days ago, travelling in the train from Lincoln, the passengers wore discussing the war, when an old woman in the enr- OPPOSE PLANIfOR SOWHOIES (Continued from Page Two.) to spend an hour arguing that it was impossible to do so. I venture to think that if this parliament authorizes our soldiers to Cast votes In France those votes will be entitled to be counted in Canada." Sir Robert stated that Sir Wilfrid had characterized the measure as absolutely improper and as having no precedent in a British country. Sir Wilfrid—Except New Zealand. Sir Robert replied that Sir Wilfrid had not excepted New Zealand and he then went on to rend to tbe house tbe provisions of the New Zealand act. 10,000 New Zealand Soldiers Vote Having concluded, Sir Robert said that the New Zealand act made provision for a more complicated condition of affairs than exists In regard to the Canadian force, yet no greater safeguards had been provided. Provision was made for voting, not only nt parliamentary elections but on other issues. The government, he said, would be willing to accept, any suggestion to improve tho bill. Tbe fact that 10,OW) soldiers had voted under the New Zealand act. shows that, such a btll Is practicable in operation. Sir Robert regretted that the opposition leader had called attention to the possibility of canvassing and tlie circulation of campaign literature among the soldiers. Lord Kitchener, believed, would put his foot down anything of that kind. He agreed with the minister of justice that, while tho military duties of tbe soldiers must take precedence, there is no reason why if an opportunity presents itself, they should be deprived of exercising their franchise. Borden Believes Them Honest Sir Robert also regretted that Sir Wilfrid hud suggested that fraud of nil kinds was lo be anticipated, He desired to be dissociated from that view. Ho believed that Ihe men and ibe officers who were willing to risk their lives could be depended upon to vote honestly. Dr. Michael Clark said it wns his desire to discuss this bill as dispassionately as possible. It was, he said, contrary to the spirit of the British army and constitution. Dr. Clark regretted that a bill of so provocative a nature had been brought this stage of the session. It was extremely difficult to not suspect a motive. When the bill was brought up in the houso by A. E. Frlpp he had asked him what would be done to seize tlie soldiers of the Issues on which the election was being sought. Mr. Frlpp had replied: "I think thero Is ono Issue of which Ihe soldiers will be well seized." Mr. Frlpp on that occasion spoke with Iho smiling approval of the minister of public works (Mr. Rogers), whom Dr. Clark said he suspected to be the real promoter of this bill. Mr. Frlpp had evidently thought that the soldiers would vote for his party. Continuing, Dr. Clark declared that tho only work soldiers at the front think of or care for is the work they have in mind. What does Kitchener think, he asked. In his first speech in the lords be made it clear that he had nothing to do with tlie politics of the party with wdilcii be had become associated, lie had then used tlie pregnant sentence: "As a soldier I have no politics." This, declared Dr. Clark, Is Kitchener's attitude. Ho divested himself of any desire to interfere; but the object ot this bill is dramatically opposed to that idea. Dr. Clark then suggested that behind the Idea of this bill there wus another idea—the holding of a general election. Tlie government at the pres ent time should not think of holding an election, Mr. Meighon followed. He said that in,the earlier part of the session Hon, G. P. Graham bad supported the idea of giving the soldiers the franchise while stating that there were ditflcul ties in the way. Mr. Meighen observed that while Lord Kitchener had said he was not In politics he was a mem ber of the British cabinet, Should They Vote Is Point? Mr. Bennett said that the question which faced the committee which considered this bill wub a simple one. It was this: should thousands of citizens of Canada exercising the highest oh ligations of citizenship be deprived of the highest privilege relating to such citizens? There was only ono answer to such a questions All the members of the committee agreed as to the principle that 30,000 soldiers should be giver, an opportunity to vote.' It waa not en easy matter to deal with. For that reason much time was taken'and the example of other countries was considered. This showed that the trend of democratic1,legislation is to give every man ant opportunity of exercising - the franchise. Mr. Bennett wondered why the lead er of the opposition and Us support- riage stated: ''The war will he over this April." She was, ot course, taken to task over this, when she replied to a man: "It will be so, as sure as you have 19s l%d in your pocket," and to a woman, "As sure ns you have 4s fid In your puree." Both persons, on counting their money, bad exactly the nmount stated. The facts iu both these eases can be verified. Another correspondent votes "Sept. 8,'' and does so because that is tlie anniversary of Oliver Cromwell's crowning victories. This morning the vote stands: Six -months 11 Next Christmas 10 Three years .... 3 Sept. 1, 1915 1 What do you think? QQm&PWP®®®®®®®®®®®®®****®® « t <•> In my opinion tho wnr will <$> ond ■ aftor <P <P April 1. ® •p Signed .- <?> «, <• ers opposed tho bill. II must bo because they know that tho soldiers havo good memories; memories which might induce them to mete out to them a proper measure of justice. In this connection be intimated that 'Hon. Frank Oliver would have 2000 soldiers in barracks at Edmonton to reckon with. Touching on possibilities of an election Mr. Bennett charged the Liberals with throwing out challenges to the government. They would do 'better, he said, to abstain from this sort of thing. Canada Should Be Proud. In, closing he declared that this was a bill of which Canada should be proud. Mr. Oliver remarked at the outset of his reply that if any doubt had existed as to the purpose ot this bill It had been removed by the speech of the member for Calgary. Everybody would I now understand that it Is a political bill designed for a Political purpose. Mr. Oliver then stated that there was no comparison between the New Zealand bill and this measure. In New Zealand an election was made necessary by Inflexion of time. But there was no similar reason why the government, of Canada should take action at this timo unless there was (behind the bill an intention to bring on a general election. Ho then asked Sir Robert, if by calling and turning men loose to. make such speeches as had been mode by Mr. Bennett, tho people of Canada would be helped iu doing their duty to the Empire. Did ho not think that were this to occur the people from coast to coast, who should be united would be set by the ears? .Electoral Villainy, Says Oliver. Referring to Mr. Bennett's statement concerning Edmonton, said it was his desire that tho men's votes should be counted properly. "Th|s," ho declared, "Is a bill designed for the purpose of stealing tlie election It's a, piece oi' electoral villainy produced and planned in tills act." Speaker Sprouie arose to say that &. member ot' the house must not impute motives. Mr. Oliver said bo would withdraw the remark. No doubt he had transcended the rules of the house but no woh speaking his own .belief and wa.s within the facts.

BETHLEHEM SHORTS SEVERED SQUEEZED Stock Makes Spectacular Rise from 88 to 117 on New York Market— Unsettles Standard Issues. (By Daily Nowa Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, April 8.—Manipulation in 'the common shares of the Bethle hem Steel company, long* a feature of the stock market, reached its climax today ini a succession of violent move' irients which carried the stock up to 117 from its opening: price of 88%. The early rise was orderly but sure, tho new high price of 06% -being1 recorded before noon and par soon after. Dealings aggregated 80,000 shares or about 12 per cent of the whole. Rea sons for the movement were lacking in official quarters but traders were of tbe opinion that it was made possible by tbe opposition of short interests which have persistently fought the advance and! which gathered further confidence when the directors failed to put the stock on a dividend basis. Bethlehem Steel (Preferred also was active and strong for a time but lost most of its gain. Standard shares, which had' shown irregularity for the greater part of tho session, 'became unsettled whilo the movement in Bethlehem Steel was under way and closed with general net losses, these, however, being mostly nominal. General motors were strong as were the auto stocks, rising nine points, and General Chemical led the fertilizer group with an advance of six points. Bock Island and Missouri Pacific wero active im connection with reorganization plans now pending. The former showed some strength, with weakness in the other shares on "renewed! rumors of a heavy Hen. Bonds were strong in the main, some of the low priced issues selling at smart advances. Total sales, par value were $2,655,000. BANK OF ENGLAND BUYS £1,142,000 IN GOLD (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Tho preferred was % better, at 70 lA. Brazilian was steady at the opening selling at 54, but under a flood of stock reacted to 53, tho minimum. Barcelona showed increased strength, with transactions at 8% to O'/fc and closing at tho best. A feature in tho afternoon was the strength of Petroleum, which sold at 850 against 703 a few days ago. .

NEWSPAPER RU8E TO GAIN SYMPATHY Continental Timet, Controlled by Wil- tielmstrasse, Publishes 'Fake" Denial of Atrocities LONDON.—Another amusing attempt on the part of German propagandists to iniluenc! American opinion has been exposed here by a, question asked In parliament and by communications addressed to Walter II. Page, the American ambassador,"*by Americans residing in neutral countries. The German scheme, carried out with belabored clumsiness, consists hi publishing a so-called newspaper—the Continental Times—in Berlin and making it appear to be an American newspaper for Americans in Europe. Issues sent here as a rare curiosity show the usual flood of never-ending German victories, including the "brilliant naval victory" attendant upon the loss of the Blucher, and tho expected columns of anti-British vituperation. The two points which the Germans seek mest anxiously to impress upon Americans are the necessity for Pro- sldont Wilson to stop shipments oi arms to the allies and the proof of Germany's humane and kind treatment of Belgians since tha beginning of the wnr. The newspaper is sunt gratis to Americans in neutral countries in the hope they will read it. Tho Issue of Feb. 24 contained a reprint from an article in the New York World dated Washington and stating that Mr. Pago had reported to the state department that fhc foreign office here informed him that all charges of German cruelty in Belgium were baseless. An American sent a couy of this to Mr. Page and asked him if it was correct. Upon inquiry I learn that the ambassador has denounced it as an absolute fabrication, without a semblance of truth. That tho British foreign ofiice is alive fully to the German ruse was shown In parliament when the question was asked whether the government kiew of this to-called publication in the English language. The reply was that the newspaper was published by Germans under control of Wilhelmstrasse. It ha3 only hoisted the neutral flag as a means of deception. We are now ready to supply ice cream.

Tho quarterly official board of Trinity Methodist church will meet at the homo of Dr. W. B. Steed, 710 Latimer street, tonight at S o'clock. Two now members wore recolved by the board of trade last night. Thoy are the Forest Mills Lumber company and Snowier & McCauley, wholesale merchants. work for Co-operative fire protection Forestry Associations, by United Efforts, Have Secured Some Ev« cellent Results. The co-operative Idea in forest fire protection has gained real headway in eastern Canada during the past year. Not only have tho two existing forest protection associations in Quebec made satisfactory records and Increased in scope and stability, but there Is a movement in favor of organizing a third association which will probably materialize for tho season of 1916. The territory embraced within the latter includes the upper headwaters of the Ottawa river in the province of Quebec, and the new organization will bo known as the Upper Ottawa Forest Protection association. ■ Tho neighborhood of the proposed new association on tho east Is in the Lower Ottawa Forest Protection association, which was organized in the spring of 1914. The territory patroled In 1-914 comprised 11,812 square miles or 7.55S.PS0 acres on tho watersheds of tho Gatineau, Lievro Rouge Nation and Coulon^e rivers. The staff consisted of a chief inspector, three inspectors and 52 rangers. Although the severest drought of many years ocourred during May, Juno and July, the flro loss did not exceed eight-tenths of ono per cent of tho amount of timber protected Tho total number of fires extingulahd was 154, of which 72 wro caused by settlers, 15 toy fishermen and sportsmen, 17 by lightning, 12 by drivers and woodsmen, 4 by railroads, a by trappers and Indians and 25 of unknown origin. The total cost of the patrol and fire fighting was $1.91 per square mile or less than three-tenths of o»e cent Per acre The territory of the St. Maurlc0 Forest Protection association lies next on the east of that of the Lower Ottawa association' and |'iomprises 1*2,707 square miles, or 8,132,416 acres. This represents an increase of 853,303 acres over the previous year. This association is the pioneer of Its kind in Canada, having been throe years In existence, Its staff during 1914 consisted of a manager, clerk, six inspectors and 54 rangers. T«*o hundred and tlifrty- ono fires were reported of which 22 wero set by river drivers, 10 by fishermen, 50 by railways, SO by settlers and •10 unknown. The balance was duo to miscellaneous causes. Tho total cost of patrol and fire fighting was $2.25 per square mile or about one- third of a cent per acre. The cost of fire fighting was unusually high on account of tlie extreme drought of the spring and midsummer. Tin prosecution of offenders against the fire law bas greatly lessened the fire evil as has also the Issuing of burning permits during the prohibited season. In district No. 1 where there wero 105 fires in 1013 only four were reported In 1911. The provincial government has vigorously prosecuted offenders against the fire law. Of rortage and trails 514 miles were cut and cleared and six lookout statins were erected. Leaflets on forest Urea have been issued to school children toy tho association In co-operation with tho provincial department of lands and forests and tho department or public Instruction. Also 21,000 fire posters and 100O pamphlets were distributed throughout the various territories unupr tho supervision of tie association. Thero can be no doubt that through co-operation .much better results in flro protection can bo secured at a smaller expenditure than under the old plan of individual offort. Not only do tho limit holders combine their efforts, but tho provincial government co-operates actively also. It seems natural that tlie co-operative idea of flro protection should spread rapidly wherever the burden of flro protection is placed primarily upon tho limit holders, as Is the caso in both Quebec and Ontario.—C.L.

Tho following letter was received ■y The Dally News last night from .letald S. 'Keos, formerly of Nelson idd now in Kitchener's army at Ruf- fey;' Sussex, England, and has to do with the death of the late Major Rlgby. "On taking up the Times this morr ing the e.^..,o*u „-.,..i.6 met my eyes ind I read of the death of Major Rig- by with the deepest regret. The sorrow for the loss of a gallant gentlo- .nun will bo felt In the far western :and where he was known in tne days jf peace and plenty before the outbreak of this terrible war. "there were many of us who at- •.ended the farewoll reception to the irst contingent in Nelson In iho fall of last year who doubtless held in mind then the solemn thought that some of theso bravo men were then lidding tholr last earthly farewell to .heir friends aud loved ones, and the nemory of that farewell becomes very icute nnd the prico of victory is irought homo to us all, Tho name of jne more brave soldier has been add- id to England's "Roll of Honor," but iris memory will ovor bo hold most iear. Tho spirit, of sacrifice is not lead, and tho music, the melody of .he "One Clear Call" sounds over land ind sea wherever the sons of the Empire have made their homes." The article referred to hy Mr. Roes In his letter is as follows: "Wo had our first real loss today, vhen we lost our company officer, Major Rlgby. Ho was shot by a Cer- nan sniper iu the trenches. 1 need lardly say that we are sorry, as that .vould not express the sense of loss which wo all fool. No ono could ever .vish for a liner officer or a better gentleman—wo can never have a sol- !!er like him again, and as time goes m wo shall feel ilia loss the more. "Our poor major did not know fear. Mis idea was to inspire his men. and n that he had succeeded. We ull lope we shall soon have a chance to avenge his death. His funeral was a uost fitting one. Ho was buried near i smashed convent—a tew officers ?tood aa he was carried through the boys from tlie trenches, who wore getting rations to bring back with them. He was laid to rest in his uniform by tho flash of the gnus and the flare of the searchlight aud star shells. His was a soldier's end!"

Board of Trade Asks City Council to Consider Municipally Owned Lines. Criticism was directed at the British Columbia Telephono company by the members of tho board of trade last night. Somo ftiembers wore not at all timid of expressing tlhelr opinions and somo of tho opinions were not compliments. The discussions were first centered on the new rate arrangement but soon flowed from their source and ovorran such subjects as the company's tpoles and its franchise, Half an hour spent .in exchange of oplalons was not Sufficient to do the subject justice, apparently and they will be discussed again. One tnotlon was passed. It was by P. A. Starkey aud said that "in view of tho arbitrary and unfair business metliods of dealing with its customers and of tho poor service" the city coun oil bo asked, to consider a municipally owned system. Mayor Malon'e In discussing this did not speak as if the city had. funds to Immediately under take It. J. A. Irving said the company should bo lenient because of the dull business prevailing. The; telephone committee, to which the matter of tho company's new contracts was referred, presented a report hut H remains to bo dealt with. It said: The new contract calls for an apparent Increase of $1 per month on all telephones, but as a discount of $1 Is given for paymciits made by the I3t.li of the month, the increase does not affect those who make prompt payment. As this form of contract Is in general use by tho British Columbia Telephone company in other cities, we do not see that any exception can be taken to its introduction here, by this board of trade. Wo submit, however, that the time Is opportune for making a vigorous protest against the antiquated and unsatisfactory telephone system in use In Nulson at tho prosent time and that tho company should bo requested by this board and the city council to at once proceed with the Installation of a modern central energy system and remove their unsightly poles from Baku* street or mako a substantial reduction In tho rates charged for local service.

Since my last letter tlie line along here has been shelled by our howitzers, which play havoc with the German fortifications. Yesterday afternoon I got orders to take my platoon lo another part of the line and to go In tho trenches for 2i hours with n different regiment. 1 had t'- go in after dark last night, ns you :an only get out to this trench in tlie dark. It is what they call a "death or glory" trench out here, because It Is right out in front of the line and would be Impossible to get: out of in case attack. Howover, there Is not much likelihood of an attack just here, just nt present I don't think there will be either death or glory tor me. We bad the men at work all night, as you cannot movo around at all In the daytime. In fact we are sitting out in the sun behind the parapet eating our chocolate and writing and reading alternately. We could not move more than half a dozen steps without showing ourselves and that means being hit. as there is sniping going on all the time. Last night we got a message to get under cover, as our sentry on the right had located a German working farther out, repairing the damage that our artillery had done, so we got everyone down low, and all of a sudden our fellows started rapid fire and with the help of a couple of machine guns started pumping lead In tho direction of the German working party almost hy the ton. Of courso we could not tell what effect the fire had, but it would have taken a lot of persuasion to have made me put my head up during the serenade. Interval Wo have beon moved to a. differen' part of the line, about seven miles away from where we wero ond havti taken ovor a bit of the lino pormnn- netly ourselves. We took It over last night and put two companies in the trenches and two companies In supports. Wo woro In supports and are about 800 yards from tho trenches in partly battered down farm houses. Last night I had a party taking up supplies to tho treuchos and as It wus moonlight, it was a canny job.
