"Lloyd George lias never lacked courage," says the Times, "but We doubt whether his courage hag even been more usefully employed." The country generally strongly supports Lloyd George's demand upon the trades unions to abandon their regulations restricting tht? output of munitions.

America would have been the laughing stock of nations if he had tolerated tho continued presence of Dr. Dumba. His dismissal may modify the exuberant activities of Count von Bernstorff." The Standarr expresses the belief that President Wilson's prompt action will show the Germans that ho is not to ho trifled with, however long suffering ho may ho.

(By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 10-The British work- Ingmen know "that Germany is not going to be crushed: they know that England is not going to be crushed. They believe that a new and better civilization, with more liberty for the lower classes of all lhe countries concerned is going to grow oul of this war." This positive opinion was expressed today by George Lunsbury. an English labor leader, in an interview. Mr. Lansburry answered the question: "What is the matter with the laboring j men of Great Britain?" "The working men of Great Britain are striking because they believe their patriotism is being exploited," he said, "1 was recently in ;i little town in Wales, where the people were paying $1.L\"> more ;i ton for coal than they had paid before the war and the wages far the miners In that town had not been advanced a cent, "Bread in England has risen 100 per cent in price, but the farmer i.s getting no more for his wheal, nor Uie baker for his labor. It is the greed of the employing classes that the British un ions are fighting/' "Are the unions against the war?" Misunderstand Situation. "No, they are not. They have shown that by their attitude at the Bristol trades union congress tliis week. The British unions would welcome an honorable peace. But. on the other hand, if the Germans ever put a foot on Brit, ish soil there would be such an uprising in England »s the world has never seen before. Women and children would rise and fight." "Are tbe British unionists in favor of helping Prance?" "They do not understand Ibe French situation. You know this i.s the first war in the history of the world In which the working men of Europe have been able to read and write. At the time of the Fashoda incident the Eng Midi newspapers and statesmen attack ed the French viciously and union men read these attacks and remember Ihem. "A few years ago the kaiser came to England and the newspapers lauded him to the skies. The laboring men of England read this prase and they have not forgotten. They misconstrue much they rpud now, but they have mem or les," "Are the union men joining the army?" Rely Upon Fleet. "Certainly they are. 1 heard the oth er day of one regiment thai was made up almost entirely of union nun. They got their unloism and their soldiering mixed and the captain had to make a speech to them. He said: 'This regl meat Is no union.' The whole regiment had been passing resolutions about thlils and that and union style. As soon as it was pointed out to them, they saw the joke, and became good soldiers. We have not any recent figures, but there are scores of thousands of union men in the British army." "Are the union men worried about the possibility of a German invasion?" "Not a bit of it. They say the fleet will take cure of that part of it, but they are ready to flghl to the lasl man, woman and child-if invasion comes," "Why is he enlistment of workln; men not larger?" "The British working man says that England is doing enough as it is. They say that the world cannol expect England to do the fourth thing on top of all the rest it lias done and is doing." "What do you mean hy the 'fourth thing?'" "Thp first thing England had lo do was to clear the sens. England did this, The second was to supply money. Eng. land did this. The third thing was to supply ammunition and it is doing that. With the fleet going and to keep money coming in and ammunition on hand, the British working men have got to do the work. The 'fourth thing' us the worklngmen have come to ca" it. is to supply the men." "The British workinginnn is being cursed because he does not enlist but he cannot work and fight too. England has supplied 10 times more fighting men than it bargained for and the British worklngman knows it. How can Britain supply all the things that are demanded of it and then supply more men in addition? "The British union man knows that a new England is going to be born out of this war. Tlie old England is passing away. There are certain classes in England that are trying, amid the excitement of war, to take from the working men the rights ihey have gained during years of struggle. But the worklngmen are determined to hold the rights at the greatest cost. "British union men know that Germany is not going to be crushed; ihey know that England is not going to be crushed. They believe lhat a better civilization, witli more liberty for the lower classes of all the countries concerned is going to grow out of this war. If we did not believe that we would cease our efforts, "British union men in all lines hav* made this offer lo their employers: 'We will work for pre-war wages if you will sell what we produce at pre war prices.' "The British manufacturers have not accepted this offer. They have challenged the British worklngmen by raising all prices and by refusing to raise wages. Then they resorted to the trick of questioning the patriotism of all workers who objected to this arrangement. "British union men are determined that they will not endure the situation, They must have more money in order to live. That is why they are striking." REPATRIATION OF GERMAN COURT PIANIST Mile. Janotha Allowed tj Live In England Long After War Broke Out— Finally Deported. Mile, Janotha, tho court pianist to the kaiser, was arersted in London, end has been deported. The famous artist; who li-ed at 20 Grosveuor street W., Is well known to concert audiences in Europe and the IJnlted States. A Pole, she was born in Warsaw In I860, Her friendship with the German emperor and empress was well known, and it has come as a great surprise to the public that she has been living at large in this country since the outbreak of the war. Some years ago she staled in an autobiographical sketch that she had a In-other who entered the Prussian army as u major and was appointed by the kaiser n Knight of the Red Eagie. Mile. Maria Ceeille Natalie Janotha has for many years made England he home. At one time she had apart ments at Kensington Palace and ' bouse near Osborne House in the Isle of Wight. She was decVated by the German empress, who gave her brooch bearing the imperial monogram —a very unusual honor. The kaiser was very fond of hearing her play a "carillon," and, beating time with his hand, he used to exclaim when she had finished: "Zwelft! richtlg!" (Twelve, right"). She received the Victoria Badge from Queen Victoria and the Diamond Jubilee medal. She frequently played before Queen Victoria at Balmoral, Osborne, and Windsor, and greatly udmired Queen Alexandra's musical gifts. She knew Mr. and Mrs.'Gladstone and Lord Tennyson'well. The poet sometimes read his verses lo her. During the South African war she organized a charity concert at Stafford House. As a child she displayed all the signs of a prodigy, and she used to tell how on her first appearance in Berlin she wase banded on to the play form by von Moltke himself. She was a, pupil of Weber, Mme. Schumann, aud Joachim Mile. Janotha was always accompanied by a black cat, "Prince White Heather." It wore a gold collar, and Its death has been reported several times, only to be indignantly denied by Us owner. "Few enemy aliens in this country have not been Interned," said an official-at the home office, "but there are stilt a number of women remaining who are to be repatriated," Duncan's wife had the reputation of being a first-class shrew. When Duncan died Ills neighbors put a tombstone over 'his grave with the epitaph, "Asleep In Peace." Widow Duncan was wild, it was meant as a slam at her, and she knew it was. It meant that she did not let him sleep In. peace while alive. The neighbors assured her that it was not meant that way. "Then it ought to say so." To please her they got a stonecutter to add: "We all believe that he did have peace here—when he slept."

INSPECT Opening Display Fall Fashions Friday and Saturday Millinery Coats Suits Dresses you Are Invited to Inspect Our Stock Smillie & Weir (By Dally News Leased Wire.) BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Kept. 10.—Today the correspondents visited a regiment which took part in the battle at Hooge, in which the British won 1200 yards of trenches. One officer kept on speaking of the guns, and .so did the other officers and men, with a depth of feeling expressive of realization that, tile guns might mean life or death and succes sor failure for them. Singularly enough, tbe British loss in taking Hie trench was less than in losing it. They got about 1000 yards with the first rush. Mostly they met the Germans coming from tbeir dugouts and it was hand-to-hand fighting when the Germans did not yield. As soon as they had yielded they were started back toward the British rear, foi' in the maze of traverses where rifles and hombs are lying about loose, prisoners may soon renew the fray. The next day a faint rumble like that of a human voice came from a pile of earth and It was found that one of the high explosive shells had closed the door of a dugout. The occupants were rescued alive. When an officer and some men came to the edge of a mine crater they found riekrly 100 Germans In the bottom of it, where Ihey had taken cover from the bombardment. The British looked down at. the Germans and the Germans looked up at the British. As one of the men said, the surprise was mutual but the Germans were a little the more surprised of the two. The British had bombs in their hands. All they had to do was tn stand back and toss the bombs into the crater. Chucking bombs into a dugout when the occupants will not surender Is one of tbe commonest proceedings In the course of taking a trench. "We shall give ourselves up," said the German officer, starting up the side of the crater. "You've got us. As Hie Germans came up some of the British shook hands with them, and soon they were marching along a road In the midst of a German shell fire, smoking cigarettes given them by their captors. Meanwhile it was stah and thrust in oilier places, till the Briton or Teuton was down. Hushing up the traverses the British drove the Germans before them with bombs, gaining more ground. In addition to their own bombs they used the Ger mans'. "One German showed us how to use them," said a British bomh thrower. "He did it Instinctively. I was fumbling with It. That was help ful of him. You had to pull a string on top before you made the throw. They seemed to be first rate bombs." Once over the demoralization caus ed by the crash of the bursting shells from the British artillery concentration in their ears the Germans came out of their dugouts, resisting with bombs and the Brillsh, running short, had to fall back pursued by the Germans, thus losing some of their ground gained before more bombs were brought up from the rear. This had to be done under gusts of shrap- ned bullets, for now the German guns were giving tlie British supports all they had to give as fast as they could. The struggle proceeded in the midst of the scream and burst of projectiles. Twice one of the sergeants crossed the ?one bnck to the support trenches bringing supplies of bombs before he wns killed. Others were at the same work and others were killed and wounded, but they got enough to hold 1200 yards of trenches. ON BRITISH FRONT New Army Is Being Prepared in France for Real Operations— Field Marshal Busy THR BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, France, Sept. 10.—The only man of tin hundreds of thousands at the British front who wears the crossed batons of a field marshal on his shoulders appeared in an opening in the shrubbery which bordered the field where a machine gun battery of the new army was waiting for orders to move. None of Hie men in Hie battery had any idea that he was coming. They were lounging and chatting as they waited. In a glance every one Identified thai sturdy figure with its square chin and the white drooping moustache with the pictures that they had seen in the papers. There was no need for a call to attention. The effect was like an electric shock which sent every man to his place and made his backbone a sieel rod. "Does Sir .lohn French often slip up on you that way?" gasped one of the battery lieutenants, who was all of 10 years of age. Nineteen is the llm'tt of youth for officers in the new army, and there are scores mi older. From the one chocolate drop on that boy lieutenant's sleeve to tbe crossed batons represented a dizzy altitude. The battery bad just come out from England, It took tbe commander-in- chief about five minutes to form judgment of the results of their nine months' preparatory drill. He asked a few questions as he looked over each gun and its crew. Always on the Go "Very good," he said, and returned to his car, which was to take him on to inspect some other formation. "Any idea that the commander-in- chief spends all his time over a map with a telephone at his elbow," as the staff officer explained, "is quite erroneous. He always Is on the go." The automobile enables him to get over a lot of ground in a day. Sometimes tbe Inspections are quite formal. Different battalions of a brigade drawn up in fields await his coming. Commanding officers know of his approach when they see tlie flag of his car fluttering along the road. On these occasions he usually makes a little speech. Once when a platform hud been arranged for him to address a. battalion lie passed it by and went closer to the men, standing in the field with their rigid columns around him. After that platforms went out of fashion. "One might think that he could learn very little by a brief inspection or watching troops march past on parade," said the staff officer, "but a soldier's eye takes in more than a civilian can guess. He not only sees that uniform and equipment are in good condition but he Is able to judge both the spirit and the physical condition of the men. If they have been having a hard time of it in the trenches he can tell how much fight is left in them. He may Judge the character of the reserves who have filled the vacant places. And the men see him. He is no longer a distant figure. They feel the effect of his personality." The new army contingents as thej arrive receive particular attention. Are There to Fight "Every general In the army seems to be taking his turn at inspecting us," said one of Hie new army officers. "We had plenty of Inspections at home. We came out here to fight." When this was repeated to a staff officer who belonged to tbe "G. H. Q„" as they call the general headquarters, he said: "They need not worry about that They will be getting fighting enough when the time comes. But they have the right spirit. All the armies in this war have found that the men who have heen In the trenches know from experience how to hold the trenches. They can dig and they can Htlck, no matter how heavy the shell fire. But fresh troops when properly drilled are lhe best for the offensive. England has a far larger nrmy which has never heard the crack of a bullet than has ever been under fire. TKe new army men learned a good deal In Buy British Columbia Products THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN PURCHASING YOUR MEATS AND PRODUCE FROM US Shamrock and Dominion Brands ALWAYS RELIABLE P. Burns & Company, Ltd. England! they are to be taught moro at the front." A battalion of new army men drawn up on tlie pavement of a French village in front of their billets with their transports and their packs on their back awaiting for a general to inspect them is a common sight. The subordinate inspectors have more time to spare for the task than the commander-in-chief. Down the front of the line of eacli company and then along the rear they move slowly as they take in every detail. They say that when an army of millions has to lie made by a country that had only a small regular army to start with aud there Is a year's experience of warfare, revolutionary in its methods, to inculcate along with the old principles, too much pains cannot be taken in any direction. New army men may he digging reserve trenches or at morning muster and an automobile stops and here is another officer a red cap which shows that he bel-J to the staff, or another general tol spect them. Everybody at the BrlTl front not in the trenches seems elth| occupied In making Inspections' looking out for an inspection. "If It Isn't somebody bent on InspeJ tions," said one of the new army mel "it is some army medical corp shal| engaged in disinfection." SINKS LINER. (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Broaltlng the ball In pitching. Thnt is the most marvelous feat in hnsobatl. To hurl a ball In the neighborhood of 60 feet and nave It break over a. space whHi is 17 Jnonefl wide by 8 feet dec]) nnd womeUmes- 8 r^t. In height, is a wonderful thing. . How womlnrful is indicated by bov- ora.1 things. One was the lengih nf timo that it took to discover that It -valid l>o donA. ni all. aimcs in which a. ball is used are ancient, yet it took American inyentleenesK to discover that a baseball could be curved, and even then the knowledge waR years in coming. Curve pitching is a comparatively modern -nccompIiRhment. S^lentifitr. rit first denied tlmt curve pitching was posplblc. Tests convinced tticm that It was. Today thc brenks obtained by pitchers arc so pronounced thnt baseball fans would lauirh at anyone who asserted that they existed only in imagination. But even today thc British and others not accustomed to baseball find the art of pitching too subtle for them. Thev can sec and applaud fine feats of flcldins and the hard hitting of balls, but their education has been lacking when it comes to the pitching of curves. They can understand the coaraer break obtained in cricket by the ball taking tortlon from tho ground, but ability u» make tho ball break In- only tht; friction of the air is too much for them. They fall to understand why the Amorican batter fail to bit what looks to them light straight ball pitching. Formerlv a hurler who had control ^f ono style of pitching was a star. Old-time stars. In fact, stars of loss than two dozen years ago, were famed for one style of delivery. That was enough to fcol the batters of thoso days and gain fame. Pllchers of the present day to be successful must have more than one stylo of delivery. Furthermore, they 'must have control to get their "stuff" across the plnj.e. uld-tlme pitchers had but to throw a curve hall to fool both tho batter and the umpire. In fact, the only ivay of pitching outside of the ball straight over the plato was sure to curve it. Now there are many ways of loo!:-? the batter. Cnrv**. bull pitching wnn the fU»t deviation from a straight delivery and ft In still one. But the variety of curves has Increased and also has tho combination with whioh they are used. There are the usual in and out curve, or curves which break toward and away from the batter, but thpse may be high or low; nnd the combination of the drop and a curve is used effectively. "Break" ball pitching ip dintinguish- ed from "curve" -baill Pltchincr by the fact that the former is sharp, while tlie latter is gradual. The most jftlSJ- xllnc delivery to a balsman. when it if- worked effectively, is tlie "jump" ball, a delivery still doubted by somo goo-d bns-t-ball fans but by few players. It takes a pitcher with a powerful arm to pet cnoueh twist on the ball to cause it to rise slirrhlly owlnc: to tho lY.ffliK.n L'iven it. but such men as Bill Dineen and Rube WaddflU hnd this eo effectively that thev were pra.nical- h- unhlttable when rolng at their best, and the ball Invariably penned un In the air from brlnn slruck undemr-Mh. flood drop pitching and snithall nUchlug are to some extent alike, but ibe drop ball has a slant before it gets to the batter and falls away slower, while the soltbalt enmes up straight as a string and breaks as much us a rouple of Inches wilh great suddenness. Good spitball pitching is- almost If not oulto ns hard to hit as Jump- »>nl! twirling, but It differs in the fact thai the hnll Is hit on top and goes to lhe ground instead of Into the air. Such men ns Ed Walsh are practlcnly unhlt- tTble when at their best with tbe spit- ball, but tho greatest fault of this delivery Is that It Is hard to control and but few pitchers ever master is sufficiently to, overcome the batter with a iruud eye and the patienco to wait.

BOSTON BRAVES CET A HEAVY SET-BACK Bill James, Premier Pitcher, Suspended in Order t6 Rest Arm—Pennant Hope* Shattered, Pitcher Bill James, of the Boston Braves, who was lho main factor In lhe winning of the world's series by the Boston club last year, lias boen suspended at his own request In order that he might go to his home In Seattle to rest up his -salary wing. Experts say that this la the only way that James wilt be able to return to form, as his arm bag gone completely to the bad. An exhibition game played at the coast last winter Is said to be the cause of his failure to pitch the brand of ball that he dlil last ycar. ln that gamo ho strained several ligaments in his shoulder and has been unable ever since to use his right arm effectively. The dropping of James from tho roster of the fitalllngs crew will he a real set back to the pennant hopes of the Braves, who are now In a position tn battle effectively for the k-ad, being in tho top division with Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia.

That boxing would be a 100-fould moro exciting if the clinch could be eliminated goes without saying. It; that case practically every bout wo-Jild he decisive either ending in a knockout or a disqualification. However, the Idea obviously Is Impracticable for many reasons. Clin-ching ia illegal under tho present rules, but the full penalty Is never imposed, because to do so would make the sport a little too strenuous for safety. Tho most practical Interpretation of the code, as followed by the best referees, is to penalize the man who forces the clinch one point. Under this system the boxer who jabs and grabs gets no credit for his work, as the -point he scores for landing the blow is offset by the penalty for clinching. If this stylo of judging bouts were A Suggestion for Efficient Economy Throughout the Empire has gone the call for personal economy to meet the extraordinary demands of the war. Here is a timely suggestion to men who have been spending from $25.00 to $75.00 a year on barber shop shaves: Invest five dollars in a GILLETTE Safety Razor and shave yourself at home. The saving will not be limited to money—the time you'll gain will be even more important, for the morning shave with the Gillette need not take more than five minutes. And the comfort rivals the economy. Though you never shaved yourself before, you'll have no trouble in getting a clean, cool, safe shave with the Gillette Safety Razor. No more waiting your turn in the chair—no more breaks in the morning's work—no more dependence on unknown barbers when travelling, for the Gillette works anywhere. Truly, the man with a Gillette is an efficient economist. Get one yourself to-day. "Bulldog", "Aristocrat'' or Standard Sets cost $5. ^—Pocket Editions $5. to $6—Combination Sets $6.50 up.

TAX COLLECTIONS SPEAK OF SOUND CONDITIONS Tho success of the city of Nolson in collecting taxes in arrears is Indisputable evidence of the soundness in conditions in this part of British Columbia. To have succeeded In reducing in Iwo months the amount of taxes due for 1012 and 1018 to tho small Hum of $3500 is a record in which Nelson has every reason_for fouling satisfaction. Thero are two chief reasons for tlte favorable commercial and financial situation nf this pari, of the province— the richness of its basic resources and the fact that it is not now suffering from the "mornlhg-after'' effects of a boom. Kootenay nnd Boundary, during the period when many other districts were in the midst of a. wild de- bnuch of speculation, continued steadily along the path of sound development. The. consequence has beon that il has suffered no acute reaction and from the general depression it has been able to make a. much more rapid recovery than ninny other less fortunately situated districts.

It was claimed that when tine nf Ihe horses died at tho camp neither litigant received any ■compensation. The last charge taken up was the allegation that Judge- Pitch hnd interfered In municipal affairs to such an extent that ho had created discord. Onmplninf of litis bad been made by Mr. Aylesworth. minister of justice. Mr. Nesbltt wilt continue his argument Monday.

Tlie plums for pies are washed and if large are stoned, but if the damsons are used, ihey are nut stoned. J-'ill the pie with the fruit, then add a cup and a. half of sugar and a tiuarler cup of cold water, this makes a sweet, rich pie nf fine flavor. Whipped cream may be served with lhe pie, but must lie well chilled. The small plums tire good to une also in a boiled Holy Poly pudding, and a hard sauce made of butter, sugar, stiffly beaten white of an c\rg, a. tablespoon of vanilla and a gritting of nutmeg is good to use with il.

More confusion and distinct detriment are likely to result from misguided zeal than from absolute apathy. lOnghind at the present time is suffering from such a plague of hastily organized disconnected patriotic relief socleltles that gov* eminent intervention may be neces sary. In -Canada, it may be said fairly, the question of patriotic relief and medical assistance lias been handled in a busl nesslike way with a minimum of cross" purposes and friction. At the outset of the war a, Cehlral Patriotic Relief committee was organized by parliamentary decree. The providing of med ical supplies for tlie wounded was turned over exclusively to the Canadian Red Cross society and the Army Medl cal Corps and so far there bus been no interference by authorized organizations. The Red Cross has been the official channel for civilian generosity to the Canadian sick, wounded and prisoners, an arrangement that has proved in tlie highest degree economical. At a joint meeting of the executive of the lied Cross society nnd the Con tral Relief committee at Ottawa, at the outbreak of tlie war, the Canadian War Contingent association, of wdiich Kir perley, the Canadian high commission er, is president, was I'ei'ugnlZBil OS thl official agency for the distribution of comforts to (he troops in the field.

Thp diseases playing so prominent a part hi the mortality of men over 10, namely, heart disease, arterlo-sclerosis and Brlght's disease, 'begin inslduously. It is imporlant to remember, however, that a. competent physician Is ablo to recognize ihe signs long beforo your own attention may be aroused by lhe symptoms. The lesson is plain. If you are Hearing or past '10, and are wise, you will consult your physician onco a year, submit yourself to a thorough examination and carefully follow the advice he gives you. Don't wait until you notice suspicious symptoms; that Is usually too late. Most of us cat too much. We would do well to follow the advlco of tho grent English physician, Georgo Oheyne: "Every wise man, after 50, ougliL to besin to lessen at least the quantity of his aliment, nnd if he would continue freo of great and dangerous distempers and preserve-his senses and faculties clear to tho 'last, he ought every seven years to go on abating gradually and sensibly, and at last descend out of life as ho ascended into it, even into tho child's diet."

Meagher & Co. 250 VARUS UNDER FRE WINS CROSS It is nn easy task tn travel 2fi0 yards without taking to cover fn the face of a deadly, rifle fhe, and when heavy cases of bombs have to be dragged along it can be understood how only two men of a party of 10 reached the goal. How such n terrible journey came to be made and why the men who made ll. were all awarded medals i vin tiaono were al! awarded medals is vividly told in ;i recent Issue of ihe London Times. "On this dny," says the newspaper, "a. company of the Kith Sikhs under Capt. K, Hyde-Cales relieved a portion of the 1st battalion Highland Light infantry In a section of a. trench known as the 'Glory Hole,' near the Fermo du Bois on tho right of the Indian army corps' front. Furious fighting had been in progress here for some time. The situation at the moment of rcliefe was that we had taken and occupied a. section of the German trench, ft portion of the snme trench on our lefi being still held by the barrier between themselves and our men. "In the early morning, Capt, Cules observed that attempts were being made to reinforce the enemy in the trench. A short time afterwards the attack besan by heavy bombarding to which lho 15th replied vigorously and succeeded in holding their own until noon, when the position became critical as our dry bombs had heen expend, ed nnd those that had become wet from rain were useless. "It was then resolved to attempt tn remove the situation by sending up a bombing party from the reserve trenches. Two previous attempts had been made by the Highland Light infantry, hut both had failed. Idem. Symth, a young officer of 21, was ordered tn take command of lhe party. Lieut. Smyth and his party of 10 men Started nt 2 o'clock In the afternoon to cover the 2"»0 yards which intervened between them and out* trench, taking wilh litem two boxes of Hi! bombs. "The ground to be covered wax absolutely open, devoid of all natural cover. The only possible shelter from Ibe frightful fire which met tin- party as soon as they were over our parapet was an old -brown down trench, which at the best of times was hardly knee ■fleep, hut now in -places it was filled almost to the top with the dead bodies of the Highland Light, infantry, Wnr- eesiers, Indians ami Germans, "Dropping over "in- parapot, they wriggled their way through the mud. pulling and pushing Uie boxes with them until they reached thc scanty shelter of the old trench. Pagrls had been attached tn Ihe fronl of the boxes. By means of ihesc the men in front pulled the boxes along over thc trench through the dead bodies, while those in the rear pushed wilh all their might. After ihey had accomplished 100 yards of their journey only Llot. Smyth and six men were left to get lho boxes along, "In ordinary circumstances four men are required to handle a box. of bombs. However, it-he survivors erawllerl on and on until before they reached the end of lhe trench they had dwinled tn two, Lieut. Smyth and Sepoy Lai Singh, The second box of bombs bail therefore lo lie abandoned, aud to haul even one box of bombs along In the face of such difficulties appeared an impossible task. Lieut.

HUMOR AND WIT IN TH An amusing; story of an experience of the Canadian contingent when they first arrived at the front was related by a Canadian staff officer now at •Shorncliffe. The story has been told before how the Germans revelled their knowledge of the supposed secret arrival of the Canadians by calling out, "Hello, Canadians!" across the zone of fire as the Dominion troops took their places in the trenches. "The amusing part of the incident occurred two days later," said the officer, "when our Mounted Rifles came to the firing lines. The Germans were perfectly aware of what was happening, for they at once began shouting out, Hello, Canadian -Rifles! Where [are your horses?" Shortly afterwards | they hung a toy horse over the tup of their trenches with the Inscription, in big lettering, 'Here are your horses. Come and fetch them.' Our men naturally began to fire at the thing, whereupon the Germans promptly took It down, only to replace it a few min- / When using^ WILSON'S ^ FLY PADS .READ DIRECTIONS |\ CAREFULLY AND.

"But our fellows bad the last laugh, after all, for they got a lot of socks, filled them out with sand to the required shape, and then hung them over the trenches with the inscription, "Here nro your sausages. Come and fetch them.' a retort which seemed to roll the Germans immensely."—London Chronicle. CENTRAL AMERICAN CHIEF MADE THREATS TO GOD An old number of the San Francisco Argonaut contains the following ex- trarodinary decree of a Central American alcalde (magistrate) of the province of Santiago de Papasquiero: "The principal alcalde of the town ind department of Sanltago de Papas- qulero: "Whereas, the Supreme Creator has not behaved well ln this province, as in the past two years only one shower of rain has fallen and this winter it has not rained at all, and consequently the crops of Sanltago de Papasquiero, on which depends the prosperity of the whole department, are entirely ruined, and therefore also tho admirably directed mines of San Andres are on the point of closing down; "The alcalde decrees: "Article 1— If within the preemptory period of eight days rain does not fall abundantly, no one shall go to mass ur say prayers. "Artilce 2—If the drought continues eight days more, the churches and chapels shall be burned and all rosaries, missals and other articles of devotion shall be destroyed. "Article 3—If, finally, In a third period of eight days it does not rain, all the priests, friars, nuns and saints, mule and female,. shall be beheaded. And for the meantime permission is given for the commission of all sorts of sins, in order that the Supreme Creator may understand with whom he has to deal. "(Signed) Sebastian Villai'eal."

AT LEADING SHOE DEALERS Eighty-Four Start Out From Nancy in Four Squadrons—classed as Halfbreeds and Hawks. A staff correspondent of the New York Times has sent the following account of his visit to the great French aeroplane field at Nancy: "The ground was covered with aeroplanes. I had never seen so many before. I don't know how many there were out in the center and packed about the sides of* the great field. There seamed to be hundreds of them. The captain pointed to the center. •They are lined up for squad drill,' he said. "There were lines of machines stretched horizontally across the field. I counted. The number was 20 In a line, and one directly behind each line In the center. There were four such squadrons, or 84 machines, lined up as if for inspection. A pilot and observer stood rigidly at attention beside each machine. "'These tines of 1!0 machines are our little old reliable halfbreeds,' he said. 'They all have mitrailleuses aboard, with half a dozen bombs beneath. They can go along very nicely in almost any kind of weather at about 100 to 110 kilometers an hour.' "'And the big machine behind each line?' I asked. '"Oh, those are tbe new double-engine machines. They can work up te 130 kilometers, but require delicate handling.' '"What do you call them?' I asked '^"Oh, some of the boys call them the hawks because they are so big and imposing.' "There was a sudden crack of a revolver, the mechanics and helpers at the front line ducked away, there was a sudden rushing of mighty wings, and the first line of 20 machines leaped across the field and rose simultaneously in the air, followed by the hawk. They arose right in the path of the sun, which made their wings glisten us they turned to the light, hovered a moment, then started east. I gazed, fascinated. "Crack! I jumped at the second shot or the revolver. Then again came lho sudden rustling of giant wings, and a second twenty machines, ln a perfect line, followed by the great hawk, sped across tho field and lifted themselves Into the sky. Again I gazed fascinated as the sun shot its glittering rays among their wings. "On the sixtieth second came a, third shot and in just four minutes after the first squad of mechanics darted for the side lines 1 saw 84 aeroplanes In the sky. Looking at certain angles 1 could see each squadron sharply defined from the others, followed by its hawk, which was always slightly higher in the air. At other angles of vision they all converged into a giant flock. "At the end of the fifth minute they wero just tiny dots in the sky, all flying at full speed due east in the direction of the German lines. At the end of the sixth minute I came out of my trance for they wer« all gone. "After an hour the colonel began turning his glasses skyward inlo the east. The captain and 1 did likewise. Finally a, faint speck appeared away off in tlie mist, then another, then another, eleurer and clearer, until they evolved into aeroplanes They were coming back single file, so that the observers left behind might count them as they came to earth. 'Sometimes one or two do not come back,' said the colonel. 'We always count them carefully.' "They came on at terrific speed, the great hawks flying higher, preparing for a volplane into the centre of the field, but the little half-breeds flew low. all heading for one end of the field. "The colonel then pointed to a giant target fixed there in a clump of trees. 'They always shot at that on landing,' he said. "The first machine arrived on the field, so close to the earth it seemed scarcely to ctear the hangars. Then camo the sharp report of a mitrailleuse and the flash of flame toward the target, and the wheels gently slid down to earth. Others followed rapidly, going through the same performance, until lost count, but the observers near by indicated with satisfactory -and expressive shrugs of shoulders that all of the 84 were safely home again, FREE PUBLICITY EVIL IS STRONGLY CONDEMNED The American Newspaper Publishers' association at Its recent annual meeting adopted the following resolution regarding the free publicity evil: "Whereas, newspapers have but two commodities for sale, namely circulation und advertising space, and whereas press agents and some few advertising agents continue the practise of importuning newspapers to print certain advertising matter prepared in news style for tho ostensible purpose of increasing the news of the day, while the real purpose of the topy Is to secure tho use of the news columns to convey inspired messages to the public, the American Newspaper Publishers association in convention assembled; "Resolved that the practise of seeking free news space for the furtherance of business publicity is unethical and tends to lessen the friendly relations existing between the newspaper management and those who seek to secure publicity 'by such means, and be it further ''Resolved thut a copy of this resolution be forwarded to those wlio con- tlnue such practise.* «?l)tci«ts REALLY DELIGHTFUL THE DAINTY MINT-COVERED CANDY-COATED CHEWING GUM Always Tempting —Refreshing and Sat isf y i a 6- there is nothing "just as good " as GtycUts Wheat Get our quotations on any quantity.

The choioe will probably he made at tomorrow's ■ouncil, French Wife Mourns Gorman as Husband—Captain No Longer Has Any Official Existence. PARIS.—The following is a true st ry of one of Uie German methods of spying: Captain Belmont had been dangerously wounded in an action in the Champagne country, and was carried to a hospital in a 1'ttle neighboring town, where he shortly died without regaining consciousness. On searching his pockets when he was admitted the authorities had found a letter addressed to his wife, with tlie note: "Please forward in case of dan- rous wounding." The letter was sent, and Mme. Belmont was able to reach the hospital from Paris before her husband was placed in ids coffin. The nursing sister who had attended the captain received her a nil tried to break the news as gently as pnssible, but at the first words the widow understood ond fell fainting into her arms. Tho sister, who knew that the dead man's face was fearfully mutilated, managed to persuade the wife not to insist on seeing her husband's features again, so as "to keep in her memory the face as she had last seen It." Letter From Husband, Mme. Belmont returned to Paris and dhut herself up with her grief, declining t'he offer of her mother to go audi stay with her. Three months passed and then one morning the post brought » letter, dated on the envelope from the hospital, with the address In the writing of her husband. As if Lurried to stone she held the letter in her hand, gazing at il with fixed eyes and not daring to open it and scarcely breathing In the mad conflict of feelings that overwhelmed her. Finally she drew out the letter and as she read it line by line she fancied her reason wus leaving her. There were only a few words in a trembling hand, to say that her husband had been wounded in Champagne and sent to a hospital on the Normandy coast. He had hung on the edge of death for months and it was only now that >he was saved and had the strength to send her these few lines. Truth Came Out. The dates he gave of his wound aud admission to the hospital corresponded with those given by the nursing sister and the wife was left in a haze of doubt and mystery until she went to Normandy and then the truth came oul. There the captain told her that he .had been left for dead on the field 1 when he came to himself after many hours he found himself stripped of bis uniform and cap and a man dressed in bis -clothes was standing looking at him. Snatching his revolver thnt had fallen by his side the inptaln fired point blank at the faco of tho man who had robbed him and remembected no more. It was while still unconscious bhat the ambulance men had found him, as well as the other man and had sent them to different hospitals. No Longer Exists. The natural comment on the strange but veracious story would be that all was well that ended well, but, temporarily, the consequences are serious. Capt. Belmont having been officially returned dead has no longer any civil state of existence. He has been wiped out of tlio book of living Frenchmen and can no longer give or receive or sign or buy or sell. He is excluded from society, and though he is alive and Well, his wife is a widow, and if a, child were born it would he a posthumous one. It will probably tako mon lbs and cost no small sum for him to regain ids place in the sun. "Now. this typewriter is equipped with till the summer attachments." "Summer attachments?"

"i-C. I Nelson News of the Dap BENE 0 I BV POOL Overseas Shipments of Coast Lumber to Create Wider Market on Prairies for Mountain Producers. It is. felt by the lumbermen of Ot© Interior of the province that the formation of a pool of coast lumber mills having a capacity of 1.00U.UOO feet per day and the completion of arrangements for shipping to Great Britain will greatly improve conditions in the Interior as it will have tlie effect of relieving tlie pressure on tho prairie mn rkets. M. R. Macmillan, spci-iul trade commissioner for the Dominion government, hus been actively engaged in pushing the Interests of the British Columbia lumbermen in Great Britain and as the result of his work has succeeded ln securing orders for 30,000,- 000 feet for immediate shipment. The association which has been formed at the coast has engaged the services of one of the largest lumber brokers in Uie world with offices In London as its European agents. It is expected that before long a guaranteed rate of freight and delivered price to any part of tho world without tlie necessity of negotiating with San Francisco charter brokers, will be ai> ranged/ for. 13. J. Palmer, of thc Victoria liumber company, of Chemainus, states that in his opinion none of theso largo orders for lumber would have reached British Columbia had It not been for the efforts of tho provincial and Dominion governments to secure an export mnrket for the lumber of the province. It Is stated lu tlie jigreement between tho producers and the selling agents that the agents will advertise the lumber as British Columbia lumber and it is the Intention oC the mills to adopt a brand arid stamp all lumber shipped by them so that wherever the lumber goes British Columbia will be advertised. it Is pointed out thnt the effect 'of this ftew development in tho lumber Industry of the province will have the effeet of profiting both the coast lumbermen, who have now secured to them an export market but also the mills ln the mountain districts, as a larger field for the Interior mills will be found on the prairies on account of the great, volume of lumber which formerly was shipped in from the coast going overseas. TAX SALE CANCELLED FOR PRESENT YEAR City Indebtedness to Banks Wiped Out for 1912 and 1913—Council Holds Special 'Meeting. With all tho city's notes issued for loans against the taxes of 1912 an-d 1913 paid Up it was decided at a special meeting of the city council hold last night to instruct tiie collector to cancel the tax sale for this year. I was reported at the meeting that since the orders for a lax sale wore issued the following collections on arrears were made up until Aug. 31: For 1912, $9Ul.al; for 1913, *ti809.iifl, and for 1914, $4537.32. Collect-Ions since Sept. 1. it was stated, further reduced'the indebtedness of tho city on unpaid taxes. The amounts collected wero as follows: For 1912, $247.7-1; for 1913, $5841.60, and for 1914 $41)9.r>C. At the time the city applied to the banks for a loan against, the anticipated taxation of 1915, it is stated that il. was the Intention of the city to hold ;l tax sale and clear up the notes of 1912 and 1913 held by the bank for taxes in arrears for those years. It was further stated thnt since Sept. 1 sufficient arrears of taxes had been collected to pay off entirely the notes for 1912 and 1918. The balance of taxes stil lowing to the city for 1912 amounts to $1370.10 and for 1913, $3G38.79. Of these amounts, It was stated, arrangements have been made for the early payment of $2518.93, which will leave an ultimate balance of %2'm owing to the city for these two years. The council therefore decided that in view of the fact that the indebtedness for these two years had been practically wiped out there would be no object In putting up for sale a number ot small properties with the possibility of being compelled to buy them in and thus render them untaxable, whereas by canceling tbe sale these properties remain a growing asset to tlie city at a scale of S per cent Interest on their assessment for arrears of taxes, instructions were then Issued to the collector to cancel the sale.

FOR FALL FAIR One of the attractions which are being prepared for the patrons of tho Nelson fall fair on Sept. 23 and 24 is the minstrel show which will be given on both nights of the exhibition without extra charge by some of the best artists that Nelson and district can produce. Tho first part will consist of the regulation minstrel show, with the full equipment of, end men and soloists, presided over by the genial and dignified Interlocutor. Following the first part of a splendid second of first class specialties is promised by^the sponsors of the entertainment. For this portion of tlie show the services of a number of local entertainers have been secured and some special acts are being arranged which will bo a distinct departure from tho ordinary. Reports from outside points in tho neighborhood . say that considerable Interest is being taken by the ranchers and produce growers in this year's fair owing to the fact that it is to be purely an exhibition of the products of tho country and it is expected that this year will seo a series of exhibits that will set a high standard among the contestants for a place lu the prizo lists. On Thursday night what might have been a serious panic but for tho presence of mind of some of tho audience and the proprietor, was caused in the Starland theatre when two young hoodlums started the cry of fire during the performance and when the building was filled with women and children. Thero was no firo nor was [ there any clangor. It is stated that tho! exits were all in working order and! all appliances were in perfect shape.) Tho cry of fire in a crowded theatre \ was thc young men's idea of a joke. They wero caught by tho proprietor, who warned them that tho offense was criminal. DIDEROT, VOLTAIRE AND ROUSSEAU In his book on thoEncyolopedaedlsts, Lord Morley contrasts tho three groat eighteenth century French philosophers as follows: . "Whether wo accept or question Comte's strong description of Diderot as tho greatest eenlus of tho oigh- toonth century, It Is at least undeniable that he was the ono member of lho great party of Illumination with a real title 'to tho name of thinker. Voltaire and Rousseau were the heads of two Important schools, and each of them set deep and , unmistakable marks both on the . opinion and tho events of the centu^.

But Rousseau moved by passion and sentiment; Vol taire was only tho master of a brll liant and penetrating rationalism. DidT erot alone of this famous trio had 11 his mind the Idea of scientific method! alone show-ad any feeling for, a doctrinB and for large organic and constructlvl conceptions. He had the rare facultf of true philoshophlc meditation.' Al| though immeasurably inferior, both Voltaire aud .Roifaaeau in literary ex presslon, he was as far their superio In breadth and reality of artistic prin ciple. He was the originator of a nat ural, realistic, and sympathetic schoc of literary criticism. He aspired t impose new forms, upon, the drams Both In Imaginative creation and I: criticism, his work was a constant ap p^al from the artificial conventions o the classic .schools to the actualities o common- life. The same spirit u^iite with the tendency of bis philosophy t place him among the very few men Wh havo beon great and genuine observoi of human nature an-d human existence So singular and widely active a senfu may well interest us, eyon apart fror tho important pla:ce that lie hbi'il in th history of literature and opinion."
