I .woutd be sorry to believe that such was the case because under that law should any money be received by any judge it would undoubtedly represent nothing but pure nnd simple graft." "IT you go on with language of that sort I shall stop you," interrupted the commissioner. "Under the'law this Is so clear and distinct that it needs no comment," paid Mr. Rogers. "How about the recent commission at Ottawa?" asked tho commissioner. "I urn glad you called my attention to that . The cases are not at all parallel. The government wus so "careful, .tlmt it would not appoint the commission until it went to parliament for full sanction." Raises Question Mr.' Rogers said that ho mentioned this' mutter in the most kindly spirit. The Commissioner—I appreciate that, but It seems to me a little late for any minister of the crown to come here and Instruct judges ln their duties, when commissions have been going on for yeats with, it seems to me, considerable necessity and great good. Don't you think that any instructions should come from the minister of justice and not from you? Mr. Rogers—I am not giving instructions. I am merely pointing out l ho law, The Commissioner—I think you are exceeding your functions. (Continued on Page Two.) BUSINESS BUILDINGS AT REVELSTOKE BURNED fSnecial lo The Dailv News.)

He also declared for a non- pulitlcal immigration service ami informed liis hearers that for a considerable time after the conclusion of peace all the available Atlantic shipping would be occupied in bringing home the soldiers to Canada so that there would he no vessels tu carry immigration from Europe to this country. At the outset Lord Shaughnessy spoke of the great confidence whicli the Canadian Pacific bad always had in the future nf the west and then won! on to tell his hearers of the company* development policies. As an evidence of the manner in which they hud endeavored to provide tho jcuuisite facilities be would mention that during Unit years since he had become president they had spent more than $4OO,000,0')O on works which <|id not include targe sums for new linos nnd for steamship services, Need Population.

We have vast areas of unsettled land which will i <• most productive once it is tilled. Many believe that soldiers will become tanners. We hope they will,and If so there is nothlntf that we can do toi malic such work for them profitable that should not he done, but wc must bear this in mind—that our transporta.i.in facilities on the Atlantic ocean for a considerable lime will be required lu bring homo these troops when the wails over. "Assuming we have 200,000 troops to bring batik, it will take at least 10 months to afford transportation, and if the government secures '500*000 men this period may bo doubled, "No doubt there are many British people who would wish to come out, but we cannot deal with them until oui- men are taken care of first, so that It will lie a considerable time before any immigrants from England or the continent of Europe can arrive. The immigration of tbe country is of vital importance to every citizen. We do not want as immigrant agents in Europe or the United States or else- whore men who receive such a position lor political services performed. Our immigration work should start not here in Canada, but where the settler is to leave, and tho work should not be loft i in the bands of sjcamslifp agent .-jl whose only interest iu the business l»| the $r> per head, and the agent's commission they receive, Should Have Bureau. "We should have connected with out' immigration organization a well established bureau, which would look aft the immigrant at (be point of origin and-which would not allow the immigrant to drift from one place to a er when he reaches this side, combination of immigration audi lal bureau would be tile ideal thing.

TOTAL NEARLY 2000 Indues About 400 Killed, 1200 Wounded and 300 Missing—Details of Losses Not Given. CSpecIal to The Daily News.) OTTAWA, Sept. 21.—Informn tfnn received at militia headquarters indicates that casualties suffered by Canadians in the fighting of Monday and Tuesday around MartlnrpnVh and Cdurcelette were fairly heavy. According to present information, the total casual ties suffered by tbe Dominion troops were nearly 2000. Tliis included about '100 killed, about 1200 wounded and 300 missing. While tbe price pair for the gains made may he considered a heavy one, lhe casualties suffered are not nearly ho great proportionately to thoso suffered by the Canadians in former defensive actions, Tlie casualties totaled at St. Julien more than. .10,000 and ut Zillebcjke they numbered 3000.

No details are yet available here as to what regiments suffered. In fact, the authorities do not seem to hove heen Informed as to what regiments or divisions participated. It would appear that lhe first real news concerning tbe extent nf Canada's' participation in the big Somme offensive was contained in Frederick Palmer's cable to the American Associated Press.

(Continued from Page One.) ment may lie in assisting our .soldicr.s to the land 1 sincerely trust that the old policy nf land scrip will be avoided. It never accomplished aiiy good. It did not encourage or develop settle- mont but furnished a msignificent field for the speculator. "Whatever should be done for our soldiers should he with a view to placing the snldier himself on the land and to give him assistance that will enable him for the first few years to carry on his work successfully. After that he should be able to take care of ■himself. Location Important, "Another mistake tn be avoided is the sending of newcomers to far-off rural districts. It subjects the new settler to the greatest possible degree of privation and causes unnecessary expenditures in the way of providing these people with transportation facilities. The better plan Is for these people lo settle in districts where there are already a reasonable degree of transportation facilities provided." Proper education of the farmers was another matter of great. Importance, his lordship said. It made a big difference to the country whether the farmer got from his land 100 per cent or only 50 per cent of its productivity. In this connection he hoped to see the day when every country school would have Ms plot of cultivable land. He strongly urged the importance of concentrating settlement. This would lead to great economies, particularly by enabling the country to avoid the multiplication of branch railway lines. It would also be much better for the settlers themselves and he had no doubt would be the means of eventually saving millions to the country. Shaughnessy in Edmonton EDMONTON, Sept. 21. — Lord Shaughnessy and a party of Canadian Pacific railway officials arrived here tonight from tho coast and will stay over until noon tomorrow. Lieut.

HAY il TAKE FIB, SAYS ROGERS (Continued from Page One.) Mr. Rogcrs—I am merely pointing out this matter as a citizen. When Hugh Phillips, K. C. counsel for tbe government, concluded his examination of the minister of public works, Mr. Rogers asked permission to make a statement. He expressed tbe difficulty he found in relating dates of matters five years old wbich he bad treated as department routine, and he dealt with suggestions that the power house contract had some connection with contributions hy W. H. Carter, tlie conlractor, to political funds. "I want to say," declared the minister, "that during my 12 years as minister of public works in this province I am sure no man, no contractor, can truthfully say that I ever sugegsted any improper aet in connection with any work. Whatever was decided on was by recommendations nf lhe chief architect. I want to make that clear to the commission so that It will not he misrepresented and misunderstood throughout the country." Refers to Act Air. Rogers then drew the attention of Commissioner Gait to the "judges act," framed by the comhined "wisdom of Canada with the desire of placing the judiciary on a pedestal and with tlie desire lo make it clear" thnt any humble citizen going before such a court would feel tiiat he would receive full justice. With this object the salaries for judges were placed at what was then recognized as a high figure and judges were provided for for life. "What I desire lo do," he continued, "is to draw your attention to a clause in that act whicli 1 regard as relevant to this aril other commissions: section 33 of the Judges act, in the revised statutes of 11)06." Mr. Rogers read the clause, to the effect that judges should engage in no occupation or business "other than their judicial duties." "It is plain," Mr. Rogers continued, "from its wording that no more flagrant violation of the law of our country could be possibly committed than that committed by judges who have presided over the various commissions here. Perhaps'you have followed precedent and to that extent have been led astray." Testimony Heard At the opening of the afternoon session Mr. Philips resumed his efforts to fix the date when Provincial Architect Hooper recommended to Mr. Rogers raising the power house contract by ?S700. , i S. L. Hooper, son of S. Hooper, formerly provincial architect, was called to produce his late father's per.sonnl diary. Aug. 13, IUU, an entry read: "Taken lo bed, sick," and Sept. 3' "out of bed and sitting up," From penciled crosses for the intervening days the witness inferred that he had "dittoed" the entry of Aug, 13. Mr. Hooper died in England Oct. Ill of the same yenr, Mr, Rogers was then recalled'. Mr. Philips told him that Mr. Carter had heen convinced from the documents that it was after Aug. 16 when Mr. Rogers telephoned him about increasing the power house contract. Mr. Philips suggested to Mr. Rogers that it appeared from information they had as to his {Mr. Rogers*) movements at that time that it must have been after Aug. 12 when he had the conversation with the provincial architect In reference to the contract. "I am not prepared to say so," replied Mr. Rogers. "I only know that the conversation took place. That diary explains nothing. Mr. Hooper often came to see me when be did not go to his own office." "I will have to ask his lordship to find that this conversation look place suh.sequent to Aug. 12: I cannot do anything else." said Mr. Philips. Mr. Rogers said that all the records nf his department had been left on file; there was nothing to hide. ROGERS TALKS ABOUT EOFL Minister Says Every Able-bodied Man in Dominion Should Be Called Upon to Give Help. (By Dnlly News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, Sept. 21.—Hon. Robert Rogers tonight told over 200 of Winnipeg's leading businessmen that owing to the shortage of labor for the manufacture of munitions, a condition had been created which he advocated should be remedied by the utilization of the services of every able-bodied man in the country. "I propose," in so far as I can accomplish It," he said, "to make every man who is not available for overseas .service to do some work; he must either fight or in some other form assist us in bringing this war to a speedy close," Mr, Rogers dealt at snme length with the question of caring for returned soldiers and after stating that nothing was too good for them, said .that the governmetn should provide demonstration farms throughout western Canada by which the returned soldiers could be induced to become producers. After tbe returned men had proved by their energy and desire that they wanted to adopt farm life the government should thou be ready to assist, them and place them upon a quarter section of land, giving them such financial assistance as would enable them tn proceed along sound lines as producers, It was the duty of the government, to provide labor to encourage the Influx of immigrants and he considered that this could be done hy the construction of a national roadway from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Thomas Lyons nf Nelson, who is interned at Chateau d'Oex, Switzerland, having been released from a German prison hospital, hus written to friends in tbe city, stating that indications point to his friend George Eitz of Grand Forks, who is a prisoner in Germany, being in good health. Lyons bases his belief in bis friends' welfare ou tbe fact that Fltz has made a number of applications to be interned in Switzerland, but has been refused by the German military authorities. This, he says, Indicates that Fitz is in good health as no prisoners are allowed to leave the German prison camps ubless they are ton ill to return to duty. Speaking of the treatment of British wounded prisoners interned in Switzerland Lyons declares that the Swiss people have done everything to make their lives as happy and comfortable as possible. Although a portion of that country has always been looked upon ns almost German and the German language i.s spoken in certain sections, he states that there is no doubt as to the feeling of the entire population. R is, he says, heart and soul with tiie allies. On the- arrival of the trains from Germany bringing the prisoners, now interned in Switzerland, the people, says his letter, shower the men with flowers, gifts of tobacco, food and other comforts and since they have been settled in the country, the men have been treated with the utmost kindness and consideration. Lyons states in his letter that 150 more British prisoners, released from German military hospitals have arrived in the country for internment. 20 HEN GIVEN ON LIS S G.

THE DAILY NEWS PAGE THBES Mining and Markets IC COMPANY NAY Investigations into tho desirability o{ erecting a zinc smelter on this side of the international boundary line to handle British Columbian ores are being conducted by C. O. Li nil berg of New York, an engineer representing the American Zinc company, which is one of the favorite "war brides" of the New York stock market, having made large profits since the war began. The American zinc company owns numerous smelters in the United States. Mr. LIndberg wns at the a|rathch6na yesterday on his return from a visit io the Hudson Ray mine at Sheep creek. He left for Fernie, where he will" look into the coal and coke question. Whether the company will build a smelter on this side of the line depends upon the, assured tonnage of MINING STOCKS We Will Sell 1000 Slocan Star 22 tttOO Utica Bid 1000 Rambler 18 ii; ST DENIS & LAWRENCE Phono 3fl.. 5011 Ward St., Nelson, B.

Upon the latter question will d&pend the type of smelter, if tt is decided to proceed with the project, which would involve an investment of probably $1,000,000. Tlie result of the long crosscut that is being driven at tbe Hudson Bay mine at Sheep creek may have an important bearing on the company's decision, If the ore Is struck at depth a large supply of zinc ore that can „be smelted by the Belgian process or one similar to it would be assured. The amount of ore that would probably be available from the Slocan district has not yet been determined, but that district would provide a large supply. Mr. Lliiberg is securing rates on electric power, coke and natural gas. If it were decided to build a natural gas zinc smelter Medicine Hat would be chosen as the site. Some point in the Crows Nest might be selected if a coke smelter were decided upon. Flee, trlcity would be more readily available at some point in this district. It will be several weeks before the American Zinc company reaches any definite conclusion on...the matter. I Says That There Are Not Enough "Bulls" on the Spokane Stock Market, British Columbia mining stocks are suffering through the incessant "bear" operations of Spokane brokers, according to a well-known Spokane mining man, who was in Nelson yesterday. He declared that the one idea of the Spokane stock brokers was to boat down the values with the idea of making a few cents on tbe rise that follows each depression. "They make their fractional profits, but the inevitable result is to boar values, because under such conditions and with no strong bull element in.the market it is inevitable that the stocks should go down farther than they rise," he said. The Spokane man belives that the Spokane mining stock market would be strengthened and would do a greater measure of justice to mining companies if there were more men playing the' long end of the speculative game.

Brewster should select John Keen, member-elect for Kaslo, as minister of mines. In the course of an article In which it refers to the fact that Smith Curtis has endowed Mr. Keen for the cabinet position the Ko'otenaian says: 1 "A number of the supporters of the M. P. P.-eleet in Kaslo riding have set an agitation on foot to have the Kaslo member made minister of mines In the new cabinet. Already the coast papers have been forecast Ing cabinet possibilities, with nearly all the jobs going to coast politicians, of course. This was one of the mis takes made by the Bowser admlnistra tion. Insufficient representation was given the interior in the cabinet. It Is to be hoped that tbe new premier will avoid making the same error. Of all the Interior members thlre Is none with better qualifications for a cabinet position than Mr. Keen. And there is no portfolio that he could handle to betor advantage than that of minister of mines. He is particu larly well versed ni mining affairs and Is a resident of a mining section. His choice for the position would meet with hearty approval everywhere, especially among the mining men."

COBALT, Ont., Sept. 21,—Twelve hundred men are working under and above ground at the Hallinger. The concrete foundations for tho new mill, which will have a 1600-ton daily capacity, are almost completed. The machinery will include 100 stamps and 10 tube mills. It is expected that the new addition will be running by .Tune of next year. The new central shaft plant, with Its 5000-ton crusher, will be completed March 1. Tills latter plant will represent an investment of about $750,000, represented by the central shaft and mill addition. Tbe present mill is handling about 1900 tons a day, It is calculated that even with the new mill bringing the total up to 3500 tons daily it will be two years before all the ore Is broken down and milled above the 425-foot level and seven years before the Hollinger begins taking ore from the 1250-foot level, according to one estimate.

'21.—The striking reature of today's market is wbich sales ran well over a million shares for the thirteenth full day, was the futile efforts of an aggressive speculative faction to depress prices. Initial flotations were mainly higher, some substantially so, but a series of bear attacks effaced this advantage before the endof the first hour, leaving the list unsettled. The tactics were successfully maintained until the middle of tbe day, when conditions improved, chiefly in consequence of another and more general advance is coppers, these Issues responding to the news that producers and agents had advanced the price of metal-for November^delivery to 38%c, New maximums were made by lending metals, Anaconda rising to flSMs. Utah to 90% and Inspiration to 64%. Related issues were correspondingly strong on further advances in lead and spelter. Doalings in the metals were on the largest scale of the year, amounting to about 30 per cent of tho whole. United Slates Steel lifted the list to the day's highest level in lhe final hour, on Its advance to the new record of 109%, passing Its previous high by almost a. point. Ralls and other investments moved up 1 to more than 2 points, gains being effected almost wholly at the expense of the short interests, which surrendered such prospective prices as yesterday's irregular market may havo yielded. .Many minor issues much as leathers, sugars, Mexicans and some equipments participated more or loss generally In the recovery with shipping shares and motors. A conspicuous exception was General Motars, which fell 65 points to 680; thut decline, however, hardly offset its recent advance of about 175 points. Total sales of stocks 1,355.000.

WHEAT MS AFTER EJWJpESSION Advance Is Made on Theory Liverpool Had Lowered Prices to Facilitate European 'Buying. (Bv Daily News Leased Wire.) "• CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 21.—Wheat prices rallied today largely on account of European buying, which developed after a decline here due more or less to lower quotations at Liverpool. The close was firm, $1.60% for December and $1.51 for May. Oats closed % to % lower and provisions 10c higher. Depression ruled in the wheat pit here until speculation was aroused owing to Liverpool quotations being lowered to facilitate European buyisg of Wheat in the iUnited Stnitos on a cheaper basis than might otherwise be the case. Liverpool advices gave a different reason for the setback in vrilues abroad—namely, that increased shipments were expected from Australia and Argentine. There were reports also of rains in Argentina where of late a serious drought has prevailed. As soon, however, as gossip spread that the break in Liverpool quotations was artificial and mainly for effect on this side of the Atlantic, the market here began lo harden. Announcements were made just before the close that vessels charters for Europe during tbe day had reached an aggregate of 800,000 bushels. Weakness caused through the check on buying of corn lowered oats. Lower quotations on bogs carried down provisions. After a moderate setback, however, good buying developed and brought about a reaction, particularly in bird. WINNIPEG GRAIN CLOSE. (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

LAND SCRIPT MISTAKE MUST NOT BE REPEATED. Neither the Dominion government Hor any province in Canada is likely to make the mistake of issuing land script to returned soldiers. The evils of that system were learned after the South African war. Instead of inducing returned soldiers to go on the land the, real effect of the issuance of script was to enable speculators to bet on what it might be worth. Lord Shaugh- nessy's warning on this point is nevertheless timely. It is possible that an attempt might be made to work up an agitation in favor of script. Baron Shaughnessy also points out, in his address at Calgary, that the first duty of the provinces and the Dominion will be to care for the returned soldiers. Immigration ' problems Will arise later. With his contention that any plan for land settlement should include assistance until the new farmers are established on a producing scale and that scattered settlement should be avoided there will be general agreement. Settlement to be successful must be along community lines. In this province action of the nature that Lord Shaughnessy suggests has been taken and the new government is likely to devote its efforts to working out the details of the plan laid down rather than to altering it In principle. NO DOUBT THERE IS NEED FOR NEIGHBORLY SPIRIT. The Mexican Review is the name of a new magazine which is being issued at Washington, D. C, with the purpose of influencing American sentiment to take a more favorable attitude toward the unhappy country to the south, The matter is none of Canada's concern, but^tUe. .foreword .of the new magazine is likely to be received with broad smiles in the United States. It states that the Mexican Review •'is the proponent of a single policy— ,.,, neighborllness.:' Since Mexico in 1810 shook itself free of alien rule "the ppirit of neighborliness has been the Rarest and most faintly discernible factor in the Mexican-American relationship," It declares. This may be very true, but Is not the Mexican .Review being published in the wrong language and on the wrong side of the Rio Grande? Is it not .among the Mexicans who have been murdering American men and women, destroying American property In Mexico and coming across the line and shooting American citizens and shooting up American towns that the efforts of the Mexican Review are most needed? pector can be assisted and the Bound development of the industry encouraged.

It Is only through Bulgaria that the Teutons can be reinforced by Turkish troops. Of other lines of communication between the two countries there are none. The Russian armies that are now pressing toward the south are evidently aiming at cutting the railway that runs through Belgrade and Sofia to Constantinople. They cannot well reach it for some weeks but when they do so Turkey will be cut off from its allies. Entente troops which are now on the offensive from the south may reach •-this railway before the Russians but the topography of the country indicates that the troops coming down ihrough Rumania havo somewhat the easier task, although the distance to fee covered Is greater.

Industrial accident board of Montana, which gives a full and accurate account of all that has been accomplished under the workingmen's compensation act during the initial year of Its enforcement. The succors of the law has exceeded the brightest expectations of all those who urged Its passage during the last legislative session, and it is only just In this connection to say that much of the credit for the splendid results obtained must be given to theboard that has administered it, which is made up of Hon. A. E. SprlggB, chairman; Hon. William Keating, state auditor, and Hon. W. J. Swlndlehurst, state commissioner of labor. To take complicated species of new legislation of this kind and make It fill the requirements of the industrial situation without having the benefit of established precedents to go by Is as great an achievement as bringing a ship safely into port without the aid of a compass to point the way. Two of the members of the industrial accident board were appointed by Governor Stewart, and his excellent judgment in selecting men noted for their organizing capabllilty is to be heartily commended. As far as Mr. Keating is concerned, the legislature made no mistake when it attached the state auditor to the commission. The report shows that over 60000 cases or rulings have been made by the commissioners during the first year of tbe law's operation and not a single decision has been appealed from. There has been paid out during the time mentioned $388,505.70 for deaths and injuries, an amount which the board estimates ,vould have been liquidated under the old liability system for $60,000. Those who suffered through two large mining acldents in Butte—In which even the cau.se. to .say nothing of the liability, could not be fixed- have received compensation which otherwise they would not have obtained. The state h^.s reason to point with no little pride to the fact that the administration of the law in Montana bas been lower than in any other state In the union, nnd every commonwealth disposing of ns many cases has had to pay twice as much In the way of expenses as Montana has done. An appropriation of $50,000 was made by the last legislature to put the law Into effect, but the expenditures for the first 16 months have only been J22,$027.41, which leaves a balance on hand in tho fund to cover the remaining eight months of $27,000. Some idea of the work of the board can be estimated when It is said that it handles every day an average of 400 pieces of mail. The report shows: "There are a total of about 60,000 employees under the act. representing an annual payroll of approximately $70,000,000 which indicates th.at the total cost of compensation in tho state averages a* little lesH than one-half of one per cent of the entire payroll." One excellent thing the law has done is the making of the slogan of "safety first" observed throughout the state, which in turn has resulted in the conservation of lives and limbs of all the people, whether they come under the terms of the act or not. This newspaper cannot name any legislation passed by this state that has brought so much good to so large a number of citizens as this one law has done through its most efficient administration.—Butte Miner. I THE FALL FAIRS Town fairs, county fairs and state, fairs are now In process of preparation throughout New Hampshire. They will be in evidence during September and some of them will hold over as late as October. Wherever and whenever they may take place, they will be worth while. The local fair, and especially the County fair, is an institution which has had its birth and development in. the United States. Some sort of fair is maintained in every country, as an exhibition of the agricultural wealth and thrift of the community, but in no other country are these fairs maintained according to the association method which is so common In this country. The fairs of Spain have long been noted. Read Don Quixote and note that more reference Is made to fairs than to any other form of assembly or amusement. Granting all this, however, sight must not be lost of the fact that fairs in old Spain were on the carnival order, and combined the exhibition of agricultural products with shows, sports, games and other forms of amusement—and It must he admitted that there is a strong tendency in that direction at the later-day fairs in our own country. But the crops in olden times were not so numerous nor so diversified as they are now. Agriculture was not carried to the extent of development which is common today, and which is a logical outcome of these organizations where neighbors vie with one another in the quality of products, While the quality of production in ancient times cannot be questioned there is every reason for believing that individuals in those times did not enter so much into competition in proportion to the population, as is the case under present conditions of Independent farming. Even though the county or state fair may have departed considerably from the original plan, and may have drifted toward the carnival idea, there is every evidence of a sustained and "ncreasing interest in the strictly agricultural phases of the institution. There is no complaint that the quality of exhibits have deteriorated. On the contrary, there is a general sentiment that each successive fair brings rather better exhibits—and that is precisely what is desired. Anything that is conducive to progress and Improvement in agriculture is to be commended and encouraged. The fall fair Is a blessing.—Manchester Union. ► ♦♦♦-♦♦-♦-♦-♦ I THAT WONDERFUL FRENCH I MAN, It was fn a small room, 10 feet by 15 feet, furnished with quiet taste; that Joffre foretold the doom of the Teutonic armies, ahys the London Evening News, His kepi, adorned with gold braid, hung on the back of an arm chair, section maps were on the walls and tables, marked at different points with pencilled arrowheads, each of which had been the signal for launching hundreds of thousands of shells at the corresponding point on the actual line. It is with a stubby pencil lying on his desk that the generalissimo de crees the hammer blows wherewith the French and British armies are wast ing German man-power. Those grim arrowheads, spelling un imaginable death and destruction, are plentifully sprinkled over the general's map just now as signposts to the Rhine. Nothing seems easier than to pay General Joffre a call; in reality he is the most difficult man In Europe to approach at this moment, The efficiency of the precautions taken to safeguard him is demonstrated by their unobtrusiveness, yet his safety Is as perfect as human ingenuity can make It. Vastly more interesting than his surroundings is the man himself. Gentle and paternal, like an old village priest, he in no way conveys the Impression of a superman to whose supreme care the lives of millions of soldiers are entrusted. This crushing responsibility he has carried for two years without faltering. He is the same Joffre who began to move his millions in August, 1014, und an officer who has been in constant contact with him assured me that neither victory nor reverse seemed to affect the steel nerves of this great war chief. His low-pitched voice never rises above conversational level, his slow- moving speech never accelerates under excitement, because he never appears excited. His snowy head, on the well-set, burly body, is that of a thinker. His unfathomable gray eyes reflect none of the horrors of the titanic struggle of which an hourly report has reached him for two tragic years. And though for this period he has borne the most tremendous weight of responsibility that ever fell to a single man, without a day's rest, his health remains perfect. •■ The Secret Is that he does his job without Worrying. His ambitions are two-jjflrst, to win final victory—then, to nit Ire for life on a houseboat on one'"of France's beautiful streams, I AND THEY CALL IT "SPORT Once again a lacrosse match has been the scene of rowdyism .and bloodshed. Because he was penalized for smashing an opponent over the head with his stick, a player in the National-Shamrock game on Saturday attacked a one-armed judge of play, with the result that the unfortunate official, who was only doing his best to enforce the rules of clean sport, and who, owing to his infirmity, was, of course, seriously handicapped, needed five stitches put in his scalp. Can'- any one explain why one of the finest sports on earth, distintcly Canadian, and which it should, therefore, be our pride to keep "clean," a game, besides, which furnishes one of the finest tests on earth for pure sportsmanship, should have been allowed to degenerate gradually into what is often little better than organized thuggery? It is not because lacrosse has become "professionalized," for baseball, perhaps the most purely professional of all games, is, at the same time, one of the freest from the disgraceful exhibitions that mar so many lacrosse matches. Nor can the exeu.se be made that the crowd likes to see rowdies in sweaters hammer each other with sticks or assault defenseless officials on the field. Again and again the men at the head of organized lacros.se have lamented over the dwindling atendance at matches, at the same time permitting—by not adequately punishing—tactics that disgust and offend the very great majority of the public, which still bas some regard for decency in sport. There are two ways of stopping this sort of thing, both simple and both effective. Let the men who control lacrosse refuse to allow recognized rowdies to wear their colors, and let the police see to it that a hooligan on the lacrosse field gets exactly the same treatment as a hooligan on the public streets. Lack of employment and a few days In jail will give men with "controllable" tempers a remarkable degree of self-control and. incidentally, it will lift the present day "sport" of lacrosse from the ranks of bull fighting and bear-balling.—Montreal Star. *1 WAR AND THE PRESS. J 1+**** ♦»■»♦♦♦♦♦♦ »♦♦»♦♦ + ♦■»♦ 4 At the outbreak of the war T. P. O'Connor declared that a year of hostilities would send to the wall almost all the leading journals of England. Two years of strife have seen the actual disappearance of only one of the prominent dailies—the London Standard. But one need but glance at the others to see how hard hit they are by the conditions of war time. Take the London Morning Post, for Instance, that stalwart and usually highly prosperous organ of the aristocracy. It now frequently appears with but eight pages to an issue, with a warning that readers, to be certain of obtalnlrg a copy, must, because of the restriction on the paper supply, order in advance of tbe office or of a news agent. One of these eight-page issues before use, contains only eleven and one-half col. umns of advertising—with but one dis-' play advertisement—practically all the large advertising having ceased. Of the news pages, one Is given to financial, one to the long death list of officers and army and navy orders, a third is devoted to editorials and dispatches, a fourth and fifth to the news of the day, particularly to the war, while the rest is given over to miscellany—a mere ghost of the thick and prosperous paper of ante-ebblum days. Doubtless many expenses have been ended, and the staff has probably largely been cut down. Even so, with the rising costs the wonder is how British newspapers of lesser resources survive. A peep behind the sceneri might show, perhaps, that "Toy Pay" was not, after all, so far out In his prophecy.-—New Vork Post.' i ■ ' .

Women are also doing trolley work and as a result of the new schemes where, the dilution comlssioners for active service women are busy in shipbuilding yards. Much difficulty is experienced in securing women for agricultural work. Even those specially suitable for undertaking various duties on the land prefer munition factories. As girls who have been dairy maids, or women who were farm servants show such reluctance to resume this work as long as munition work is possible, special committees have been formed under the board of1 trade, whose work is to persuade such women to go back to their previous employment, ard so help to carry on the work of >the.;QOuntry. "Experienced, skilled girls, should remain in their trade," said'a^^official lately. "Juniors, who are ndt of so much value to their employers, and whose subsequent training will not be materially affected by a year or two lost just now—these are the girls that *are wanted for munition factories, As regards women of leisure, they too, .are needed, very much indeed. They -will not be taking work from their poorer sisters in taking this work, for there is at present work, and well-paid work, for all, and obviously certain duties will be much better discharged by educated women than by working girls." While social work naturally appeals to many leisured women, who have always had some work of that kind on hand, and whose amateur knowledge may form a good basis for future professional duties, many a middle or upper class girl, who has never had a chance of developing her talents may find that she has the making of an excellent mechanic. It is indeed remarkable bow many girls of the leisured classes are now showing a distinct talent for mechanical work— many preferring It to social work. Mo- tar car driving especially and everything connected with the mechanism of the automobile, Is being eagerly mastered by them. James H. Walsh of Chicago, lumber merchant, says prosperity Is th£ rule In that line, and that it is despite President Wilson, not because of him. Canadian Postum Cereal Co.

APPE EIL IN DOMINION RUST CASE HEARD Shareholders Seeking to Be Relieved of Liability—Many Clashes Between Counsel, (By Daily Nows Leased Wire.) VANCOUVER, I'.. C., Sept. 21.—An appeal uy- nonunion Trust shareholders to be relieved of the liability to pay contributions of $170.345 to the liquidator is being heard today In supreme court by Justice Murphy. Argumenl will continue for several days. The morning's hearing was full of heated passages between S, S. Taylor, K. ('., leading counsel'for the shareholders, and Joseph Martin, K.C., chief counsel for the liquidator. The case is being fought out wilh much persona! vigor. Tlie mi shareholders who are behind the appeal were all shareholders of the original company, the Dominion Trust company, and allowed money on their shares. In 10B1 the directors of the Dominion Trust entered into an agreement to transfer nil the assets of the company to the Dominion Trust eoirjpany, for which they had obtained a federal charier. The change from the provincial to (lie Dominion charter wns regarded as n mere matter of bookkeeping, the directors and officials being the same, the dividend checks being issued in consecutive serial numbers and the call tn the next annual meeting being to-"the niiilh annual meeting of the Dominion company." Mr. Martin argues that as these shareholders accepted dividends on the new company that this acts as an estoppel of their plea that they did not agree to become shareholders in the company, CAPT. W.

CANAD ANS TELL OF COURCELETT Laughable and Ridiculous Events Mingled with Tragedy in Stirring Narratives. (Hy Daily News Leased Wire.) WITH' THR BRITISH ARMY, in France, Sept. 21, via London, Sept. 22. —Some ofthe best stories of the battle are told oiily after some battalions which havpijeen in tlie big attack are out of the line. Then after they have Slept, they recall vivid Incidents in the midst of changes and the struggle for positions. They live over a-j-iin their sleepless nights and days wh-.n they faced death in their grapple with (lie enemy. Tlie laughable nnd ridiculous are mixed wilh the tragic. T..»- day a correspondent has been visiting the Canadian battalions after their storming of Courcelette. These men, their eyes blinking after sleeping the cloclt around, bad taken more than tnflr own number of prisoners before the rush through lhe village was over. They did not anticipate lhe second charge which come just before dusk. Tlie Germans were in their deep dugouts, hiking cover from a sudden burst of shell fire when as the shell fire lift- eel, the Canadians were at their doors. The battalion which took the eastern end of the village had got up only jtist in time to deploy for the attack before the minute set for it, and then rush it across Hie open tinder the German curtains of shellfire, and the officers could not give detailed instructions to their men before they went forward. They hnd to trust to the intelligence and initiative of the men to adapt themselves" to a general flan. Tlirnlpg cornels anil duging in and out. tlie men cleared the streets of Germans ami saw that the dugouts weir guarded. Given another half hour and the Germans would have or- gnnbied their defeases. As it wns they were helplesslv confined in their ccl- iurs. Boy Took 40 GermanB. i Mi,, boy of HI held a dugout of 40 Gormnns nnd marched them away as prisoners., according to the account of _hls eOmrnde. line of the two battalion vommnnders captured was a baron. 'Being of the nristocrats, he put on n good deal nf airs," said a Canadian colonel, "till I took him aside and told him it was out of place nnd that I was too busy, to he ceremonious, then lie behaved amicably." The German Red ('toss worked like Trojans looking nfler the wounded of both sides. They objected lo being kept under guard, saying that they were medical officers and not combatants. "Sorry, but there are too many of your friends slill armed in the dugouts to let you circulate about this Village freely," was the (answer to their protest. The bnl'on wns seal across the open with the other prisoners under a Bed Cross flag nnd with the warning, "if your guns fire on you we cannot help ft." The baron was wonndcil in the leg Hy German shrapnel. (Hie Cniindlnn officer of small sta- ture, us ln> turned a corner, found himself confronted by nn enormous Prussian, hut got the drop on him. . "My business was tn get en through the yillage in our objective," said the officer. "That big German became a white elephant. r did not want to spare any mnn just then to guard him, so*I drove him on abend of me, making hi mkeep his hands up, We passed through bursting shells and falling hpiises. There were lots of funny things, now thnt I remember them. Gets German View. "After we hnd established ourselves beyond ihe village and things were pretty well cleaned up 1 saw a Canadian and a German prisoner who had been fighting fiercely a few minutes before good nnturedly discussing tlie old theme, when the war would be over. It ended hy the Gemma's declaration that it would he over when the jillics udmittetl that they were licked. The German insisted that his ■friends would come back and take Courcelette and the Canadian told him not in a thousand years—that enough Germnns had been born yet to do IL" When the Canadians saw something move under a pile of earth in a battered German trench they had occupied, they dug out one dead German, who had heen killed by a shell hurst and one slightly wounded in the arm. They bound up the wound and dug him pill as far ns the hips and then told him: "This is our busy day; see ff you can't do the rest for yourself." That Germnn not alone dug himself nut, but kepi on digging all night, helping the Canadians make a new trench. "He was certainly some digger," said the man who told the story. "When morning came we i^ent him back and he arrived at the rear al- rigbl." ' Stop Seven Attacks Witli a surprisingly small number of men the battalion which occupied the line in fror.t of the village held off seven German counter-attacks the first night. The officer commanding had liarl his runners killed and he was going from one place to another to keep back* his men. Shells burst all around him and he went on going between attneks. JJe was actually holding for the time being, he estimated, a thousand yards of front with 150 men. Between attacks on Canadian captain went out and having brought down the gunner of a machine gun who had been bothering him, returned dragging a machine gun. "There are more out there and I am going back to get another," he said— and dropped dead from a bullet with the words on his lips. ,. "A-s I think of it now," said the officer commnnding with a dry smile, "I realize that things wore not bright that first night in front of Courcelettn, hut we were all. too preoccupied to realize It then." The proudest men In the British nrmy are those Canadians who took Cburceletle. "We got the Germans on the Jump in Courcelette," said a Toronto man. "He \vt\n not expecting us; he is much easier to fight when he Isn't." GREEK STEAMER SUNK.

The Journal des Dehats has taken the occasion of the invitation which has been issued to Senator Ruy Barhosa to visit France during this year to make mention of a number of other Brazilians who are working for the protection of the cause of Prance against misrepresentation, in their own country. Among these are Ireneu Machado, deputy, who protested against the violation of tho neutrality of Belgium and praised the powers of the entente for fighting in tho cause of right and civilization. Tliis occurred in the Brazilian parliament at the beginning of the war, and the orator's protest was supported hy the members, This same parliament, disapproved so strongly of one of its members who spoke In praise of Germany that he was obliged to resign the presidency of the foreign affairs commission. In 1915 the whole country sided with the allies. Somo Brazilians, active friends of France, and persuaded that truth, justice and reason are with, those nations who arc fighting against Imperialism and German militarism, resolved to form the Brazilian league ln favor of the allies. Every person of Latin race throughout the length and breadth of Brazil joined the league. It has held numbers of conferences for the purpose of counteracting German propaganda, and Is foremost in demanding that Brazil shall compensate herself for the loss of the Hamburg coffee cargoes by requlstloning Gorman boats in the ports. Besldos Ruy Barbosa, the president of the league, the membership includes such names as those of Antonio Azeretlo, the vice-president of the senate, Captain Mostarroyos who from Paris Instructs the Brazilian press in regard lo the French war operations and corrects the statements of tho Wolff agency; Al".

Manzer, special representative of the New Brunswick government in Havana, reports: "Cuba imports annualy about G00,- 000,000 feet of lumber. This consists, for lhe most part; of pine, spruce, and fir, and is imported in tho form of inch boards running from fi to 12 inches in width; planks 2 and 3 inches thick and of various widths, and deals sawn to various dimensions to conform to or- des received. "The greater part of this lumber comes from the United States, principally from the Gulf of Mexico ports, hut Canada supplies a large quantity. A large part of this lumber is brought on schooners, but since the ferry service between Cuba and Key West has been in operation, considerable lumber from Florida and Georgia is shipped by rail. This lumber, on arrival from Cuba, Is taken direct from the docks to the mills, where it is planed and made ready for building purposes. It Is then shipped to ail parts of the island. The increasing prosperity of the island has largely increased the demand for lumber of all kinds, but lack of vessels has prevented the necessary supply from being obtained, and consequently has curtailed building operations. "The laborers In the cane fields, now that they are getting more, pay for their work, are not content to live in houses of palm leaves, but are constructing more comfortable wooden houses. The clerks In the business houses, many of whom have been living in small, poorly ventilated rooms in the crowded parts of Havana, are now getting building lots outside the city and constructing houses, mostly of wood, where their families can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The business men also are building residences in the suburbs, mostly of Brick or concrete, but even these require large qnantieis of lumber for doors windows, staging, molds for concrete, etc. Spruce, pine, fir. hemlock and cedar would be suitable for all building purposes in Cuba. ^Resides this class of lumber, Cuba imports quantities of shingles, thousands of crates for fruit, snooks for packing cases, stave beads nnd hoops for making barrels, and large quantities of broom handles. Pine, spruce and fir would be suitable for making fruit crates and packing cases. These are imported cut in exact lengths all ready to be nailed together and are tied in bundles. Birch, maple and ash would be suitable for barrel heads, staves and hoops. Yellow birch and maple make the best broom handles. FIELD POST SUPERVISION. BERLIN, Germany—Tt is anounced through the medium of the press that in the interest of the national defense and of the military operations the German military authorities are compelled to order a temporary supervision of the field post. For purely military reasons, it is stated, this step cannot he avoided, for the time being. Despite such instruction, the announcement goes on to explain, it frequently happens that the individual does not fully realize the effect it may have if the slightest reference is made to military plans in family letters, and how people h\ communication with the enemy may make use of them, In view of the danger it is assumed that the men at the front will willingly make the sacrifice of so composing their letters that they may be read by their superiors. Meanwhile, it is staled, every effort will be made to spnre the feelings as individuals as much as possible, and to despatch communications without delay. It is desirable, the communication adds, that all relatives should recognize the importance of such regulations, and thus help to achieve tbe Tinal victory, and the end of the war. Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. ■ Don't use prepared shampoos or any- thisg else that contains too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very- harhful. Just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grensoless) Is much better' than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoon- fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair asd scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.

CANADA'S WOOD PULP SUPPLY. Conditions in the newspaper, anil book-making business nf the United States at present are of a kind that brings to consumers of paper a realization of the advantages of a world at peace, federal officials charged with the duly of investigating alleged monopolistic control nf paper supplies are busy at their task. Newspapers in many of the cities are doing one of two things, sometimes both. They are either reducing the number of pages printed, or they are raising the sale price, hut usually the former; and in concert, city by city, or trade by trade. The difficulties of the hour are not so much finance as of manufacture. That is to say, il. is not so much a detail of tlie ability of publishers to pay the high prices which the scarcity imposes as it is a question of their getting possession of tiie product, without which they cannot do husiness. In short, It Is a question of fair distribution to a large number of claimants of a stock which evidently cannot meet national demands, if tlie latter are to be made on the scale of the past. Hence there lias to be a reuductlon of the consumption of paper, the first, effects uf which are reduction in tlie size of newspapers, and publication of only such books as are certain of sale to an extent warranting publication. Canada's share in tbe production of wood pulp for conversinn into paper in tbe mills of the' United States is such, in volume and value, as to make it beyond dispute that, were not the Dominion able to aid its neighbor in this way, the situation in the United States would he grave. When a nation imports for an Industry, the annual output of which is valued at if3:.0,()00,000, raw material making up 70 per cent of Ihe total imports of paper-making stuffs, it Is under obligation to a country that provides the supply, and that declines to take advantage of its neig- bhor's economic needs. .Whether the future Is to show a continuation of the same source of supply for the United States manufacturer who thinks lie must have the wood pulp for his business, and is not averse to getting ft wherever he can, lo the best pecuniary advantage, time will tell. Ottawa Is likely to see some great debating, within a twelvemonth, on tbe fundamental aspects of trade as between the Dominions and Great Britain, and between Canada and the Starting Again Willi the coming of cooler weather we ar© again making Cream Puffs, Cream Rolls and Charlotte Russo made from pure cream and the freshest of materials, Choquette Bros.

In any case, for the resources now available north of the line, the United States journalist and author should be duly grateful.—Christian Science Monitor.
