The evidence the World says, is based on correspondence- exchanged by representatives of the German government and the assertion Is made that most of the undertakings of Berlin In ibis connection have been directed by Chancellor Von lietbmann-llollweg. The World claims to show that the German government, its agents and Its volunteer sympathizers have attempted: To control the press of thc United States. To Influence American news agencies. To subsidize certain newspapers. To breed discord and stir up industrial strikes. To prevent tho allies from getting war munitions from tliis country. To secure munitions for herself while decrying tho same efforts of tho allies. To Induce American citizens, often without their direct, knowledge, to act as decoys In German-financed "peace" movements. The Chief Agents The chief actors in these uiuiertuk- Ings, who. the article charges, were under the direction of the German chancellor were: Count Johann Bernstorff, German ambassador at Washington.

In the Polish sector the various German armies are slowly drawing in their line and advancing from the northwest and south on Brcst-Litov.sk. While they continue to lake comparatively small batches of prisoners, they make no claim to the capture of artillery or booty, which is considered by military observers as a fair indication that Grand Duke Nicholas* armies continue their orderly letrual and, that they for a long time to come wil] bo able to prevent tbe Germans from detaching any part of their army for large ventures elsewhere.

SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION DESTROYS EIGHT LAUNCHES RUSSO-GERMAN LOSSES TOTAL 1,500,000 IN JULY (By Dully Nowa Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 15.—Figures arriving from Russia are so appalling concerning the enormous losses on both sides that careful correspondents hesitate to accept them. They indicate thai the combined Russo-German casualties, Including prisoners, during July alone totaled nearly 1,500,000 men. These estimates are necessarily incomplete and •aiijfifii io -tfiyjelfifl,._, Handling gasoline near a lighted lantern is the reason given by Firo Chief Guthrie lor the fire which broke out shortly afler midnight on Saturday at tho Nelson iLaunch club's boat- houses, destroying approximately 12 bjathouses and eight launehes. It is said tiiat Elmer Anderson, John Waldie and Ferguson Wilson, thc latter two tho sous of William "Waldie and 'William Wilson of Nelson, had beon out in the lako in Mr. Waldie's launch and returned to thc boathouse to refill the tank with gasoline. There being uo electric light, it is said that they made uso of a lantern, the flame of which ignited the gas from the tank in the launch, causing an explosion which set tlie boathouse ablaze. A dance was in progress at the club when the tire started and an alarm was turned In from the box at Hall and Front streets, and another was sent in by telephone. Owing to the inflammable nature of the buildings and their contents the fire made rapid headway and in a very few minutes the adjoining iboathouses were in flames. The calls sunt in were promptly ravuayii in \>y_ tUfi Ussl iivHiWut and streams from 1,000 feet of hose were quickly directed upon the 'burning buildings. Tho fire fighters were forced tu work under a severe handicap owing to tho difficulty in getting their hose lines around the corners and down the narrow alleyways between the boat- houses. _ However, there was no lack of volunteers to help carry the pipe lines, some of the men from the 5-lth battalion iu the city on leave from camp rendering valuable assistance. Barrel of Gasoline Explodes A ikjht breeze blowing down the lake drove the flames in a westerly direction and the row uf buildings ou the west side of the one in which the fire started *wcre soon a mass of flames. Several explosions occurred owing to gasoiino stored In barrels and cans and iu the tanks of tho launches taking fire. Tho worst of these was thc explosion of a barrel .belonging- to George A.

Soon after the alarm was rung a large number of launch and other <boat owners appeared upon the scene, and a flotilla of water craft was soon busily engaged getting launches out of the 'boathouaes threatened by the flames. Besides Urns** owning launches numbers of the citizens who had retired fur Hie night gathered on the floats arrayed In hastily donned and unconventional attire to witness the spectacle, many of these lending welcome assistance to the firemen In getting the heavy hose placed. In Over His Head In spite of the seriousness of the occasion. It is said that several amusing Incidents occurred. Tn one case it is reported that a launch owner, fearing the loss of his craft, rushed to his boathouse. threw open the doors and without hesitation jumped for the place where he thought his launch was moored. Instead of landing in the boat, it is said he plunged Into the water over his head and only remembered when he came to the surface that he had loaned his boat to a party of people and that It was many miles up the lake. A case of worthy, If misplaced, energy is reported of a citizen who, anxious to assist, commandeered a launch and started off to rescue a boathouse. only to discover when he got outside the slip that he could not locate the particular building he was In search of. During the conflagration a number of persons were to be seen rushing and splashing about In search of their boathouaes and launches, which had been towed to places of safety unknown to them, by the many volunteers. One owner of a particularly fine craft was greatly exercised over the mysterious disappearance of his boat, and It Is -said threatened to have the law on the party or parties whom, he claimed, had taken advantage of the confusion to annex his property. Later, It is said, that on finding his boat safely tied up to a pile he offered a handsome reward to Its rescuer, which was modestly declined. The owners who lost launches In the fire were: William Waldie, 1. G. Johnson, E. K. Strachan, N. F. Winlaw, J. M Ludwlg, John Johnson, J. A. Oilker and G. A. Hunter. The boathouses he- longing to Harry Bird, M. Bird and George Hawthorne wero destroyed, but the launches were not in them at the time. The total loss is placed at about $10,000. It is stated that very little insurance was carried, either on the launches or the property. HOW CLAIMS TO HAVE WON BATTLE (Continued from Page One) Cieehanowige (about eight miles northwest of Nur).

REVEALSIGERMAN WOH IN STATES (Continued from Page One.) News of Sport cord to the advantage of the German empire. Tried to Buy Press The German government, this story says, Is the financial backer of the Fatherland, a publication which, it is charged, receives a monthly bonus from Financial Agent Albert. The World gives as evidence of the publicity program "the disputed claim of M. B. Clausen that be secured from Court land Smith, president of tho American Press association, a 30-day option, expiring July 15 last, under the terms of which the German government was secretly tn control that institution upon the payment of $000,000 ii cash and the retention of Mr. Smith as the ostensible bead at a salary of $15,000 a yenr." Mr. Smith, it added, denied this allegation. The World also says the correspondence shows that the German government paid the expenses of Edward Lyell Fox, a magazine writer, while in Germany last fall. One of the. most interesting feat ures of the publicity propaganda of Germany,'' says the article, "is a detailed declaration of a plan to Incorporate an American news agency (to be secretly controlled b.v the German government) with bureaus at New York and Berlin at an aggregate cost of $850,000 to 'supply 'impartial' news regarding German conditions." The World also asserts It has a let ter which indicatas thnt the German government sought to secure control of tho New York Evening Mall and which presents an agent's claim for compensation for that paper's acquisition. It Is asserted tnat Germany is now building an artillery plant in this country and that Berlin has contracts for the entire output of an American explosives company. The transportation of the munitions, the article says, was to be arranged through a neutral government in close proximity to Germany. The correspondence indicates that an official in the office of the military attache of the German embassy was in communication with certain labor leaders for the purpose of bringing about strikes in ammunition and motor car plants. Concerning tbe alleged effort to secure munitions in this country, the World asserts Its correspondence shows that Hugo Swettzer secured1 for the German government the transfer to Itself of a contract between the American Oil & Supply company of Newark and Thomas *. Edison, for the manufacture and delivery by the latter of 1,212,000 pounds of phenol (carbolic acid) at an aggregate cost of $1,400,000, to he delivered in daily shipments running until March, lfllli. The correspondence also, says the patter, shows a payment on Juno 22 last of $100,000 to W. F. Hoffman, president of the American oil & Supply company, as a guarantee against loss. Tried to Buy Plane Company A repent fror/i Capt von Papen to his superiors declares thai steps were taken by him to prevent the exportation of asphyxiating gas to the allies nnd a plan to tie up two "pure American" plants producing this gas (chlorine). Another agent discloses to Financial Agent Albeit a scheme to acquire control of the Wright. Airship company at Dayton, Ohio, with the assistance of one of Wright's intimate confidential men. Reports by agents, the paper ■suys, show the following names were used, possibly without sanction, in an un- tlertakfng to get American citizens to urge an embargo on shipments of munitions: Albert A. Beverage, ex-senator; S. S. McClure, publisher; Former Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri; Congressman A. P. Gardner of Massachusetts; Richmond P. Hobson, congressman from Alabama; Henry Reuterdahl. artist; Burr Mcintosh, author, and Rev. Dr. Aked of San Francisco. A letter passing hetween Arthur von Briesen and William T. Jerome, says the story, Indicated a request by Jerome for a $10,000 retaining fee. When it became known last nif-rht that, the World was to publish this article and proofs were shown him, M. C. Claussen, former publicity asent for tlie Hamburg-American steamship line and the publisher, since the beginning of the war, of a "Bulletin of Information" about the war, flatly denied the charge that he was Interested In any scheme for spreading German propaganda throughout the United States.

(Special to The Daily Xews.) ROUTH SLOCAN, B. C, Aug. 15.— The following letter was received from Harry Broadwood, from ihe northern general hospital, Lincoln, dated July 24: "Well, here I am tn England at last, and all through a sprained ankle. Oh. my aunt, what do yon know about that. How I got over blowed if I know, but my ankle was in a horrid state, and the doctor at the hospital at Boulogne asked me if I had heen out all the time and I said yes, and, of course, that makes quite a difference. He came to me one day and to my surprise said, 'You are going to England.' and here I am In bed now with a temperature of 102 and a dose of influenza. "How did I get wounded? Well, I was near tn a shrapnel shell when It burst. It burst about 40 feet over our beads and a piece of the shell caught me a glancing blow (luckily*) on the top and side of my head, took my hat with It, and ripped my sealp open for about three inches. It knocked me out but only for a mlnnto or two. When I came to I felt something nice nnd warm runninc all over my face, so I knew T was still in the land of the living. I said to myself, 'To hell with this.* I looked around; three men on my left killed; two on my right and about a dozen wounded, so I crawled on my little Mary about no yards into a ditch under a hedge.and managed to bandage up my head with tiie first aid dressing yon always carry with you. Then getting out I nnd two others had to run past two German maxim guns a distance of 200 yards. "We were between the devil and the deep sea. If we stayed we would bo taken prisoners of war and heing shot was better than being crucified, so I said, 'Come on, let's beat It,' and wo sure did heal it, believe me, right past both maxims and being potted at by hundreds of Germane, but they never even touched us, though I afterward found three bullet holes through my coat. V/ou people and tho'people in England have no conception of what the war is really like. It is just simply bloody murder on both sides. We went up to Festubert, another hell on earth. The Oermans are terrified of us when we are in front of them.

Otter, with a party, motored to Morrlssoy lown- site and Morissey mines and made an inspection of tiie proposed sites for a permanent internment camp, A special meeting of tlie Fernie board nf trade was held in the council chamber on Saturday at which the general attended, when (he question of the permanent internment camp in tliis vicinity was the topic of discussion. A. B. Trites, president, presided, while among those who wero in attendance were: R. W. Wood, W. It. Wilson, It. M, Young, Sherwood TTerchmer, Mayor Thomas Uphill, D. McDougail, p. v. Mott, .T. R. Wallace ami J. i'. McDonald. Mr. Trites outlined the desirability nf retaining the camp already installed here on a. permanent Hisis nnd also suggested that the internes should" be employed (o thn benefit of the public at large and themselves on Ihe inter- provincial trunk road.

The permanent establishment of the camp in or adjacent to tliis city would be satisfactory to all. Gen. Otter stated thai ho had absolutely nothing to do with the causing of aliens to he interned, hul When once they actually were taken into custody it was his duty in retain Ihem, In conned ion with tho local ramp, the general staled In* hail never considered the matter of removing the Internes from here and thc condition in whicli he had found matters here were indeed commendable aud his original opinion had not been changed since making the personal inspection, Of the 15 luternineul camps in the Dominion, where 7,'MO udd internes arc cared for, ihe fernie camp heads thc list for economical maintenance and while tlie per capita rate is tlie lowest in the Dominion the quality and quantity or ihe subsistence has not been reduced iu I lie slightest. Gen. Otter slated that in the event of there not being employment for the internes, lie was quite ;atisficd to allow the damp tn remain in this city, but, as had been suggested, the internes could lie employed on the provincial governmenl highway, and from ids experience in traveling over the mountain highway he agreed thai there was room for improvement. Either of tho proposed Morrisscy locations would make suitable camps.

If tbo lessons of the fire on the waterfront early yesterday morning are heeded the loss of approximately $10,0110 may save the community from a much more disastrous outbreak in the future. If It Is practical to enforce thc Insinuation nf electric lights in every boat and launch house, action to that end should he taken. A supply of hand chemicals and oilier fire extinguishers should be at hand nnil steps should he taken toward the erection of hydrants al central points along tlie floats. The question of fire prevention ou ihe waterfront is a complex ono. The city's jurisdiction is not complete and the position of the launch club is nol without difficulty. While the dangers of carelessness and tho need fnr greater facilities for fire flgbling are fresh In mind would it not be advisable for a. conference, between the city council, heads nf cily departments, members of Hie launch and boat clubs and others who are vitally interested, to be called and a future course of action agreed upon? TO EXTEND MARKET FOR FRUIT OF CANADA THE The federal department of agriculture tuts given another example, of the well directed activity which it is displaying, under Hon.

BERNSTORFF AND VIOLATION OF NEUTRAL HOSPITALITY Tho exposure by the Xew York World yesterday of some of the German activity in lhe United States will cause little surprise. 11 is shown that official German agents -fiave engaged in efforts to control the American press, to influence news agencies, subsidise newspapers, to bring about strikes at munition factories, to use Americans as decoys for "pence" movements and to buy munitions for shipment by way of neutral nations. Tbo most vital of the charges made, perhaps, is that German Ambassador Bernstorff, Capt. von Papen and other officials of the kaiser's diplomatic porps are involved in actions which by In Cost of the War general tlie year's war cost has equalled the ten-yr ir expense of equipping and maintaining the armies and navies of Europe. It is equal to tho cost of all previous wars since Napoleon firsl started to lend France, nd It compare.-: with the cost of the Napoleonic wars, estimated at $'ti,7D0- 000,000; wiih $.",000,000,000, the cost of United States civil war; with $2,500,000,000, tho cost of 1.1m Franco- Prussian war; with fl-lOfi.OOtyOOO, the cost of tlio Spanish-American war; wilh $1,000,000,IK)0, iho cost of the Boer war; $2,500,000,000, the cost of lhe Russp-Japan esc war, and $2,100 000,000, ihe cost of Hie two Balkan wars.—Review of Reviews.

Its effect on social conditions can hardly be overestimated. The ihlry years war produced such slaughter In Germany that In parts of that country bigamy was actually legalized. Wo know from experience In this part of the world too many men and too few women is for the good of neither sex nor can it be when tliis proportion is tho other way. Even before the war tho number of unmarried women in Britain presenled a large problem. Ai the last census there wore in England 1,202,00-1 more females I ban males enumerated, in Scotland 11-1,(100, and in Ireland 0,000, Wales Hieing the only ono nf (he four countries which was ablo to claim more males than females (the actual excess was only 21,000). For the United Kingdom as a whole tho excess of females was then 1,838, 594; Today it is estimated that it must be over a million and a. half. The number of unmarried women is reckoned to be over 2,000,000. Of Hie young people on the threshold of adult life and responsibility, roughly 66 per cent of these young women marry and settle down In homes nf their own, while, another 20 per cent, have private means or are 'living at home witli prospects of private means.

They hnve been unusually frequent, apparently, from which fact the superstitions are taking comfort. Tho real "war comet," say the astronomers, was that of Delovn.n, discovered hy him in December, 1013. Tliis body was of unusual si/,o and brilliancy, and. at Its zenith could he mn,de out with the nuked eye. It disappeared early this year and probably will not he seen again for six or seven years. The astronomers caution against taking this as an indication lhat tho war will last that long. One of the first to he seen in 1913 was "Encko's comet," which was first noted in 3,778, but not definitely placed until ISIS. It makes its appearance once every three and a third yenrs, but In 1014 was late. Close on the heels of this expected "guest" came some that wero not expected, however. On May lfi, 1014 Rudolph Pacta reports, Zlatinsky discovered a comet- like star, possessing the brilliancy of a islar of 12.5 magnitude. R was given the nam" of Neujmin. Then came tho Kritjing comet of comparatively little brilliancy, and then Campbell's comet was announced from America. The first comet of 1915 was that of Mollsh, also discovered In America, which first appeared as a star of 10 ma,gnitudo and attained Its maximum in June, SUPERIOR SHELL IS MADE IN CANADA Authority for This Statement Comes From Major-Gen. Mann—Britisher Sees Workers. MUNTRI'JAL.—Not only is the forging work on shells being done better in this country than either Great Britain or the United -States, according Ln Lho expert who accompanied Mr. 1). A. Thomas on his recent nip of inspection, but the factories in Canada, working un ammunition are capable of turning out a heavier duss of work than is called for in any of the orders placed here so far, and are likely to be given some of this work. These statements were made in at) interview given hy General Bertratfi, chairman of the Canadian shell uom-: mlltee, to the Financial Newa bureau, un his return from accompanying All-. Thomas on tbe trip of Inspection. Flattering to Canadians. "Showing the manner in which Hie plants of the country have been brought Into shape during the short Interval that has elapsed since the work of thc shell committee began, 1 think there is no reason why 1 should not tell yuu "what was said by Major General Mann, the expert who accompanied Mr. Thomas. After watching the Nova Scotia plant doing two forg- iugs in one operation, and after going thoroughly into the matter in whicli the work was being performed, in both thc Nova Scotia and ihe Dominion Steel corporation plants, he saia that Canada was dojng better wurk than either Great Britain ur the United states in the line of forgings. 1 consider this a most flattering remark, anil lhat Canada has every reosun to be proud of thc part she is playing in this great work." Asked if it were true that the trip had been taken chiefly for Lhe purpose of asi'f ..alnlng Canada's capacity for tit a heavier class uf work, 1 that this was .largely the case, "As to whether or not this work- will be placed in Canada is another matter but tho conditions thus far are so sal lsfactory that one would be justified i' hoping that this would be the result. "Our English visitors also common! ed on the enthusiasm displayed oi tho part of not only of the heads of tho different concerns, but also among the workers themselves. "Great Britain needs more shell of Lhe present class, and she also needs a, heavier class of work, and under the circumstances there is every reason to think that further orders may placed here." TIMBER RESOURCES HAVE BEEN UNDER-ESTIMATED It is said that among the schemes by which Germany is trying m weaken the strength of the allies is that of circulating among the superstitious population of Italy the rumor thai her leaders are possessed of "the evil eye." The king himself. Gen. Cadornn, Gen. Caneva, Gabriel dWnnnnxin and Premier Salandra are said to be thus accursed, says the Toronto Mail and Empire. It is not plain that this conspiracy has had any disastrous effect upon tiie Italian campaign hut, knowing the character of the Italian people and being aware that in the past superstition has played a great part in Italian affairs and in even recent years has threatened lo wreck gov ernmonts, Germany has thought It wise nol: to neglect, this chance making trouble in Italy. Theory of the Evil Eye. Writing in the New York Sun, F Cunliffe Owen, who appears to liaV' acquired a notable stock of loro upon the subject of the evil eye, explains that when once Hie suspicion of having this affliction is fastened! upon a man it Is Impossible for him to clear himself. Il is by no means necessary that he should 'be a malignant person or possess an eye of initer or even peculiar appearance, lie may, Indeed, he a. most .benevolent person who would1 not for the world cause harm to any no. Yet If he has the'evil eye dls- ster will follow him and prayers will not avail. This belief nn Hie part of thoso who are superstitious fits well Willi lhe German eampalgn, for it would be absurd to ask the most Ignorant of Italian peasants to believe that ills king, the premier of his country and tlie leading Italian generals would designedly bring disaster upon Italy. The German agents insinuate, however, Hint the curse of tlie evil eye having leseended upon them; they are powerless to avert its suits. How to Avoid the Curso. The evil eye superstition is thousands of years old, and some reference to it is found in the old testament. Those who cling to it believe the one having the evil eye will-hring misfortune upon anyone upon whom he glances for even a. moment. It is said hat even to this day in Italy the tie ts will instantly clear If the rumor spreaidw that the possessor of an nil eye is approaching; People rush nto side streets, up alleys into stores antl ibuildings and if they can escape hy no other means will cover their faces with their hands lo avoid the glance thai is believed to he more dead than a pestilence. There are of urso charms that are supposed neutralize the powers of an evil ey h for instance as a little piece ot coral shaped like a fork, if one happens to be without the coral he can improvise a. tittle defense hy pointing index and 'his fourth finger at. the eyed, at the same time expector- ig copiously in tho same direction. Nearly Upset a Government, i finite recent years, says Mr Owen, the late .Marquis Maurigi, a, member Of the Italian chamber of deputies, was iccredlted with tlie evil eye, and on me occasion when he made a motion to effect some minor changes in tlie system of military promotion, which were opposed by ihe minister of war n fearful were the deputies of Coming mfler his baneful gaze that they deserted the government and supported the marquis. This so exasperated the minister of wnr that he resigned. The other members nf the cabinet wished o follow suit, and were only dissuad- d by King Humbert, who convinced them of Hie trifling character of the hostile vole, and assured them that they had on the whole the support of the chamber and the confidence of their sovereign. In lhe midst of the debate precipitated by Hie marquis' motion a speaker made some sarcastic remarks about the superstition of the il eye, anci concluded 'by exclaiming, "A pest upon those malignant in- turning he replit fluences which are exercised to the detriment of our country." Not Confined to Italy. Immediately ahout three-quarters of the deputies arose, horrorr stricken, from their seats and bolted for the doors, fearing that the Mnurigl evil eye would blast the whole assembly. When Italian representatives are thus superstitious it is nut to be wundered at that the ignorant peasants remain in the bondage of their mediaeval delusions. Thus, the peasants of Messina believe that the eaithquake there •was due to the evil eye possessed by Mendi, tho great Sicilian land-owner, who Is the ground landlord of a considerable portion of tbe city. Tn other countries than Italy is a belief in the evil eye a popular superstition. ' It crops out among the peasantry nf Spain, of Franee and of Germany, hut among the Italian peasantry it Is almost universal. Union Brewery TRAIL, B. C.

Discussing aviation Mr. "Wells says aeroplanes typify the individualist character of the French and English, quick to think and act on their own Initiative, as zuiipulins are lylj-eul uf tho Germans, with largo erews working together under orders. Mr. Wells Insists that aeroplane work must remain individual, owing to the difficulties of signalling between units of squadrons. Aeroplanes ho says should follow bird formation in attacks, flying in triangles ono after another. He praises the British aeroplane engines, which, he declares, are Inferior to none. The present difficulty, he says, Is chiefly the pilots, as the training Is long and severe, and it Is impossible to allow novices to risk valuable machines while learning. Referring to his huge air fleet, Mr. Wells says: "The war has caused aviation to make enormous progress. Experience shows that, my idea Is possible if applied methodically with sufficient resources. Two classes of aeroplanes have been evolved—light and swift for reconnaissance, undl heavy and slow for bomb throwing. "Wo ought to multiply 'flying hatteries,' which combine the qualities of both.

Notwithstanding the fact that an area of unpreeedente C size whs planted, the grain crop will be considerably less than for 1914, Only potatoes are unusually abundant.

The setback was attributed to a variety of causes, but more likely it resulted from the fast growing belief that the time has come for a halt in the further rise of these Issues. Crucible Steel was the weakest feature, recording a maximum loss of 8 points, with a 4-point break between sales. Bethlehem Steel and Alhs- Chalmers fell nearly 15 points, but regained much of their losses later. Bethlehem Steel preferred on a single sale just before the closo recorded a loss of 11 points, The movement was not all in one direction, however, Studebaker ascend Ing to the new high prlco of 100, an overnight gain of 5*4 points. Other points of strength included Pacific Mail, which advanced 3 points on announcement of the sale of its Pacific flotation, and American Woolen com mon and preferred strengthened on the proposed recharterlng of the company under the Massachusetts laws, Ralloads were irregular. Lower rates on exchange on London und P<iti» were (|uoted .**i«.l the foreign exchange market was utterly demoralized. Demand sterling fell to 4.69% and, according to trustworthy accounts, this quotation was shaded half a cent after the closo of the market. Paris checks yielded to 5.90 with overy prospect of lower quotations during the coming week. The bank statement fulfilled popular estimates, actual demand deposits Increasing over J50.000.000 with a $21,000,000 increase in reserve, these Items being an obvious reflection of the week's heavy gold imports. Tho bond market manifested an easier tendency on nominal dealings. Total sales, par value, were $1,320,000. United States coupon 4's declined *4 per cent, and Panama 3's Vs on call during the week.

NELSON NEWS OF TBE DAY Taylor, tho Tinker, sharpens lawn mowers; 315 Baker St.. box 533 (1203) STARKVILLE- Miss.—"Willie &00 farmers, whites and blacks, their wives, children and employees, ate watermelon and picnic lunches, sans hymns and listened to tlie speeches of political candidates, two negroes, Dick Heals and I'etcr Helen, accused of murdering a railroad porter, were hung here, The affair, whicli had been extensively advertised, partook of the nature of an old fashioned barbecue, at which everybody present had a Rood time. The great majority of the immense crowd came here yesterday In order - to get front scats at the hanging, but when several thousand more arrived this morning there was a grand scramble for places, The proceedings were started at the free distribution of sandwiches and lemonade, after which several candidates for office at the approaching county primaries took the platform, or rather the gallows, and delivered themselves of their best oratorical efforts. At times tho applause was deafening, the condemned negroes all the while occupying 'places to the rear of the speakers and joining in the appreciation of the hitter's remarks. x\s the time for the execution arrived, irninlst«i's ascended, the scaffold and took their places beside the negroes. The Rev. Winbush invoked the Lord's blessing, in which the murderers joined, and then the hymn, "There is a Land of Pure Delight Whero Saints Immortal Reign," was sung with great gusto. Everyone of the 5,000 present, even including tho two negro murderers, yelled the last lines at the top of their lungs, -Not Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood should frightten from the shore." Last night the condemned men ate several large watermelons with relish, in addition to other delicacies which had been* sent in by their friends. The dual hanging bad been arranged by the authorities with an eye to the spectacular. The spot selected resembled a natural amplthoatre with sloping sides, in the centre of which stood the gallows. Many of the spectators looked upon the instrument of death with awe, but. the majority or those who had come long distances to see the spectacle felt never a quiver until the traps actually were sprung.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL NELSON, B.C. Taking as his text thc fire at tho waterfront yesterday morning; Fire Chief Guthrie pointed out how much loss by firo might 'be iprcvciilcd by Uie taking of precautions and enforcement of a few simple rules. In his reports to thc city council, be said, he had repeatedly urged that the use of lamps and lanterns be prohibited iu boalhouses, nnd that thc launch owners be compelled to make use of electric lights. He also stated that he had urged those in authority at tho landings to make some effort to in- stal one or mom standards, with hose attachments on the floats iu order lhat a. conflagration such as occurred .Sunday morning could bo handled and perhaps controlled beforo it could get sufficient headway to do much damage, irud a wind ibeen blowing from (he west, said the chief, there is but little doubt that (he fire yesterday would have caused a great deal more damage than it did, possibly wiping out tho entire water front of boathouses and ex tending to the city itself. Few buildings, he said, -were as highly inflammable as boat houses where gasoline launches were kept, if built of woodl The timbers [become soaked with gasoline and engine oils on the inside, while tbe heat of the sun made the outer walls and roofs like tinder. Beside this, he said, large quantities of gasoline were sometimes stored in them, which, as was the case on Sun- thday morning, exploded and floating while still alight, on the surface of thc water, would bo carried 'beneath tho adjoining building, setting them ablaze. The chief pointed out the fact that the boat house belonging to A. I!. Godfrey, and built of corrugated iron escaped, although it stood next to the building in which the firo started and waso subjected to the full heat of tho flames.

COME ALONG AND BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY ' ADULTS, 15 Cents CHILDREN, 10 Cents Coming Thursday "THE CHILD OF GOD," Four-Act Mutual Masterpiece KITCHENER'S ARMY ARRIVES TO FINISH THE JOB Tommy Atkins Feels Like Oldest Inhabitant "Can't Be Too Many of You," He Tells New Men The "Kcechecnairos," as the French peasants call lhe new army, have joined "Tommee At keens," the regular, and thc "Teereeloreeals" at the front. Tommee begins to feel like thc oldc:-' inhabitant. By thc way, he docs not like to be called "Tommy," though thc world persists in a word which is objectionable to him'. Thc British regular did all the fighting for the first five months of tho war. lie had his joke at the expense of Uio Territorials, who are about the same as the American National guard, when they arrived. The Territorials thought that thoy were made soldiers wlien the war broke out but they wero drilled for monllis at home before they were sent lo France, where they were drilled some more and set to digging reserve trenches behind tho line. In the spring they had their turn, and the Canadians, too. Some Bosches Left "Don't be downhearted! There aro still some Bosches left!" the Territorials join the regulars In saying to the new army, "It's kind of you! Wc knew that you could have killed them all off if you wanted to," the Kitcheners reply. "Don't charge too fast! Wait for us lo catch up," cal! the regulars. "We'll wait on thc Rhino!" answers lhe new army. "Well named is the New Army. R has brought a new element into life at the front. They bear the stamp of long route marches over Knglish roads and of the merciless formal training of thc drill ground. The First 100,000 On seeing three or four hundred soldiers bathing in a canal, their broad chests and the fine play of Iheir muscles told that they were of tho first hundred thousand which answered tho call to arms last August. If tho average old-timer of tho trenches had to run five miles against the average Now Army man he would be blown half way and the New Army man would trot past thc goal an easy winiior. Sitting in a dugout under shell fire is not exercise. When men come out of the trenches, they want to sleep and eat. The tendency is to grow fat. The veterans arc fight-hardened and trench-hardened but not muscle- hardened. That is the reason why the officers encourage cricket and football and other sports. It saves the men from drudgery of compulsory exercises to keep them iu condition. New Army is Happy The other night when ono heard some soldiers billeted In a barn singing, one was certain without asking that they were New Army men. The British regular rarely sings in camp or on tho march. Neither elated or depressed he plugs along doing his day's work. As the New Army flows in he will be outnumbered but unchanged. Those New Army men are singing "God Save thc King" before they lay down in the straw for the night in the land of France, which was all so new aud strange to the,m and so commonplace to tho veterans. Their fresh young voices wero pleasant to the car. Everyone hopes they wilt keep on singing. At intervals one asks himself -what Is missing in this British army, anyway? Then ho answers, music, of course. Omnipresent Bagpipes If a band were to start playing In lhe trenches there would be a shrapnel bullet through the drum and a high explosive in Uie mouth of tbo horn in short order. Bands may have no place at the fro*jt but that does not rule out the Scotch bag-j pipe. When you hear "The Campbelh Are Coming" at tlie head of a compahj marching back from the trenches- well, for want of other music, tin bagpipe becomes sweet to other thai Scotch ears. No modernization oi war will separate a Scotcli regiment from its pipes. "Tlio bands were left at home t< aid recruiting,'' says the new army men. "We diil not know, but your officers might bring along Iheir swords," remarked the old timers. Sword Is Obsolete There the veterans were having a dig" at the expense of thc young junlojr officers, many of whom were at schoo, when the war began. If there Is any ornament which is obsolete at the front, it is the sword. Thc sword is the officer's symbol of authority; the sign that ho Is on duty. In place of it the officer at the front wears his sword-belt. Only ono fresh to tlie front would see anything odd in countless officers with empty frogs for holding their swords at theii hips. The young- officer of the new army who a ycar ago had no'idea of cVei being an officer, also has the emp^ty frog, and carries a walking stick. Ilh sword, along with countless othei swords, has been checked outside the cloakroom of war. You can not tell him from the other officers, excopt by his eagerness and ins battalion insignia. "1 laid studied trenches and dug practise trenches a/id witnessed trench demonstrations," said one of thorn, "hut, when I came to go into a trench for instruction undor fire, I found that it was not liko what I had imagined. 1 wonder why nobody has yet been able to describe a tronch so you can really see it. Even thc photographs deceive you. Thoy aro always taken uf sonic show trench." For ten months lho new army had waited for its mecca. Its soldiers have read all about thc effects of modern shell fire. They know what they are in for. Learners, they came among experts, expecting to be regarded a great deal as novices by thc old hands, and except for the veteran regulars' joke at their expense, thoy have found everybody very kind. "Wc need you—and there can't be too many of you," say the old-timers. "It's you who must finish the job which we have begun." Thero are- men in this new army who have incomes of ten thousand h year, digging trenches beside a man who had not a shilling when he enlisted. ,•« 'V Whew! But It's Hot A regular suit feels as if it weighed a ton. How about somu eool things? A cool pulr of trousers. A two-ploco suit or odd coats, at •eafcly reduced prices, too. Somo thin hoso. A soft shirt and a straw hat at 1-3 off the price. Emory & Walley
