LONDON, April 8.-Lold Cecil, {minister of war ..trade, made a sljarp 'reply to the spuecirin the relchstag of pr: Votf'Bethmann-Hollweg, the German imperial chancellor. Convening wjthAmerican .correspondents on; behalf of the foreign office,, he said the suggestion that Gcrmuny, might abandon Its. submarine warfare if Great Britain relaxed Its food blockade wan hardily likely ft* be entertained by Great Britain, which had no faith that any; ^promise made by, Get-many regarding submarine warfare would be kept. v"^\, "Germany slackened its submarine warfare for some time when the operations of the British navy deprived It of tho necessary number of submarines,'' said Lord Robert, "but .has now.begun it again. I am convinced 'that Oermany cannot be trusted to keep any promise." Reviewing the address of Dr. von Bethmann-Holtweg, Lord Robert said: The chancellor's speech covers imu.li OC*-old ground. As usual, he1 claims that the allies have no legal right tu blockade Germany and appears' to think the neutrals of the same,-.opinion. Yet among 'all neutral governments which have protested against our action, none .has been found to argue that thu blockade Is In Itself-illegal precisely in the proportion in. which it is effective.

"ftT-feVrrnff tt» .the chancellor's statement that Great Britain alone is responsible for the continuation of the war and that he made proposals last September^ to which he had received lio reply; Lord" Robert Cecil said: l* "It may be Well to make a clear answer to this. By singling out separate powers among the allies the chancellor endeavors to sow mischief and distrust among them, but lie has lirailed. The allies stand together and have pledged themselves to make peace in common. The chancellor knows this well. He knows, too, and the people of Germany, whom he dell ludus,. should know that no possible £ speech ho makes can ever form , a basis uf peace overtures. ' ...Cupping Blends of Bombast "His., periodical speeches in the '] relchstag am cunning blonds- uf bombast and peaceful protestations.

The chancellor made his so called proposals last year solely that he might be able to refer to them vlrtu- £ ously today." -, Lord Robert recalled Hie cliuncol- \ lor's words of Dec. 9: "None of our enemies has been approached with peace proposals and they believe it to',be. in ."their Interest falsely, to attribute peace proposals to us," and the chancellor's statement that if he was | to speak of peace conditions! he must first see the conditions of Germany's enemies. "It i clear," Lord Robert- continued, "tna he Germans themselves did not make any proposals In spite of what the chancellor "now pretends. Even, HBQUOIED1 SAM Point Raisod by - Sir Wilfrid, Aaha • Ttfjif Record Bo Corrected Who HAUCOURT SCENE OF MflftjU. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, April 7.—On the orders of the day in the house Sir Wilfrid spoke today as follows: "Mr. Speaker: I desire to draw your attention to an\ error in the Hansard report of the sitting of March 2. On that day there was a discussion on tho estimates between the, hon. member for Regina (William -Martin) and the minister of militia regarding a correspondence which was alleged to have passed betweon the minister of militia and a high official in the Conservative party of Regina. The minister of militia is reported to have spoken In this ;?vay; "Sir Sam Hughes—There was no quarrel between that gentleman and myself as to who'■should dictate the patronage. The trouble was that I found something not exactly square and 1 did not care whether he was Grit or Tory, his headcame off. "I was,not present at thc^discus- sion," said Sir Wilfrid, "'but I am informed certain words' spoken by ,tho minister of militia wero not reported. My information is to this effect: "The minister said: 'I found that follow grafting' and then followed the words at the end of the sentence, 'his head came off.' Libel Suit Started "The reason why I bring this matter to the attention of the house is that the words have been reported in some newspapers as they are alleged to havo been spoken and as 1 have just quoted. They were so reported in the Globe and tht report in the Globe was copied by tiie Regina Leader. A suit for libel is threatened—a suit has been taken against the Leader—and therefore it is important that thu ex act truth should be known, and if those are tho words the minister spoke, the Hansard report should be corrected: Personally, I know nothing of the matter. . Reports of Hansard are generally fair and correct. I have no complaint to make and do not think that anybody will make complaints. But sometimes errors will occur and An thin 4jui[t, iiyl tta^&Wrectly'inform-- ed, there has <:.e¥talnly been,., an omission. "I am told that if you, Mr. Speaker, will, call the. attention of., tho Hansard reporter to the matter, a correction will be made. Therefore, I ask that the matter bo rectified." Referred to Committee Sir Robert Borden—L think it undesirable that the house should interfere in a matter pending in tho courts, unless the case is .absolutely plain. At all events, if any action is to be taken it should be .brought up, in the first Instance, in thu debates committee, which has. specfal charge'of such matters. Sir Wilfrid—1 have no, objection. Tho matter should he considered by the debates committee. 1 think that the proper course. The matter was then referred to the debates committee for inquiry.

SOUTH d DVINSK (By Dally News Leased Wire.) BERLIN, April 7, via London, 7:25 p.m.—The historical importance of Dr. von Bethraann Holl.weg's speech, tn which the imperial chancellor for tho first time referred with any ue_ finiteness to the future fate of Belgium and other ..occupied countries generally was appreciated" by his hearers and by the press;,In its com-j ment regarding yesterday's/session of the relchstag. Peter Spahn, leader of the centre: party, who foltowed the imperial chancellor, immediately picked up the words of the-first speakor and endeavored to expand them Into a declaration that Belgium, whatever Its formal status after the war may be "must remain politically, military and economically" in German hands. For this interpretation, however, the chancellor's words furnish no basis, Frederick Ebet't, leader of the Socialists, protested against such interpretation. The chancellor's enunciation of a modified Monroe doctrine, in which he disclaimed any Intention to attempt to set foot on the American continent after the warjL and his declaration regarding the submarine campaign, also furnished tens' for speeches, Mr.* Spahn devoted a considerable part of his discourse .to consideration of American relations,' America for Allies "The press, people and the govern-. ment of America have shown by their, conduct that thty^Sympathies, ami; business instincts favor England arid hot Germany," .he said. "America has become a regular arsenal .and base of supplies on*.'a large scale for uur'one- niies. Tho American government hus bound itself where wo'arc concerned to the. formal letter of .the taw and has employed rogularty a more generous interpretation of the regulations' of neutrality only in favor* of states hostile to us. Much lias been permitted there which If done: by us would have been used in America to provoke an outbreak,of hatred against. us." ■ : - ;. Mr. Spahn referred to tho; prolonged negotiations with the Unitotl;Statcs In regard to the submarine "question, saying in that connection: "Americans of German;descent have indoed endeavored to create a. sentiment for our views unfortunately without success. It -is incomprehensible in view of the sound business instinct of the Americans, that the Interests, concerned in legitimate export trade continue to bow to British encroachments of maritime, rights. The hopes placed in the American congress In this regard have been disappointing." -■ • - ! Sees No Hope, of Peace Hcrr Ebert sattl lie welcomed the enunciation by the N chancellor of a more definite peace program, but declared he had no expectation of any response from the governments at Loudon,. Paris and petrograd, al-1 though it was evident the Inclination for peace was increasing among the peoples. Therefore, he continued, Germany must continue the war for. defense of the fatherland and the Socialists, who are representatives of the working classes, would be tho chief sufferer from the project in the throttling of German trade and industry, must continue- to support the government resolutely, j "We believe .sharp defensive measures arc justified against the British, who plan to throttle and starve Us," he continued. "We are fighting' for our. existence. Therefore, no ohb can complain if we answer the British starvation plan with submarines. The Russians Succeed in Occupying Portions of Hun Trenches Near1 Lake.

C. Brewster this afternoon criticized some features of the government's bill to deal with the land situation and provide free farms and the money to returned soldiers for their development. Every man in the house wanted to do his best for the soldiers, the Liberal leader said. He contended that the government's policy had been stolen from the Liberal platform and that It was an admission that the opposition arguments concerning the laud question were well founded.

He feared that the act would work a hardship on genuine settlers who hud purchased laud and were in arrears a'nd to support the arguments instanced the case of a settler who had accomplished two-thirds of the improvements necessary to take his land out of the wild land class and from under the provision of the act cancelling applications on land which had not been brought to the improved classification. This classification he believed was $2.50 per acre worth of improvements on land west of the Cascades and $1.25 oust of that range. He feared, also, that the soldiers might not take up residence on the land and asserted that if they did the government's proposal would result in the establishing of a number of isolated farms' which would bo costly to supply with roads and schools.

Because the act did not compel residence it would set up another condition of speculation, he said. He did notiJfavor the sale 'of any land to secure money to loan to soldier settlers. Such funds, he contended, should be provided by the Agricultural Credits act. He understood from a speech by tho minister of lands that it was proposed to bring down some amendments to the bill. He hoped they would cover the points he had raised. 'Lieut. .T. V. A.

PARIS, April 8.—The German losses before Verdun up to the present time have reached the huge total of 200,000 men, said to be the greatest battle loss in the whole range of warfare, according to estimates made public here yes. terday from a semi-official source, "the result of careful Inquiry made in the highest quarters in which the figures have been rigorously checked and verified." . "Documentary and verbal testimony gathered and authenticated permit the giving of precise details concerning, the losses suffered by the German by us on the Verdun front," says the semt. official communication given to the Associated Press. "During the period from Feb. 21 when the battle began, to April 1, it is known that two army corps, namely the 3rd and the 18th, havo been withdrawn from the front, having lost ■ in the first attacks at leas: one-third of the force. They have reappeared since and have again suffered like losses. ; "The German reinforcements, arc practically used up as fast as they are put in line. The total effectives of the 18th corps have in this way lost 17,000 men and the 3rd corps has lost 22,000. Details of Losses. .. '4 "Concerning the 121st division, which, took possession ot* North Vaux, about' March 12, we .have precise Informa.-" tlon... More than one-half.of the 7th, regiment of its reserve was put out of action by.our machine guns in the ineffectual attack against the slopes of the fort.. The 60th regiment met similar losses of which the total reach- er 60 per cent of the regiment's effectives. "The 19th German infantry had already suffered similar losses In attacking the village of Vaux on Marcr 9. The 13th company was surprised and annihilated. In entering the village houses, its first battalion was reduced 60 per cent. "Three regiments of the 11th Bavarian division which led the attack on Malincourt and Avocourt woods March 20 and 22 were each reduced by one- half. Their losses varied between 50 and 60 per cent. The same is true of the losses of the 4th regiment of the 2nd division of landwehr engaged under similar conditions. Losses in Attacks Only. "The foregoing are only losses during actual attack and do not Include the losses of regiments In trenches or In reserve under the fire of our cannon. They are solely the current actual losses. We know that certain German units have had high current losses, that is to say, losses from artillery fire, when no action of the infantry was In progress. One instance, the 37th infantry, which was surprised by our fire while oh the ;mareh to the trenches; it lost about 500 men and from this fact was so reduced that it could not, March 10, take part in the attack on the village of Vaux, as ordered. In place of the 9th regiment, which had been decimated by our machine guns. "Summarising uurlrtg the -10 days from Feb. 31 to April 1, the Germans had, on the Verdun front, from Avocourt to Epurges, exactly 239 battalions bf/Infantry* and 'presenting-a. minimum of 1075 companies of infantry, besides 23 battalions of engineers, three companies of which each gave an aggregate of ,1144 companies, fully re-' Inforced, the companies varying from 260 ,\to 2m_ men. "The assulting army, therefore, represented at least 295,0pQ !"nfantry alone. "Since Feb. 21 the reinforcements, been frequent and heavy. At least 80 battalions have been sent to the rear to lie: reconstructed. Others have received reinforcements on the. field. It Is said, therefore, nearly 450,000 infantry have appeared on the firing line and this estimate is even under the mark. Minium Estimate. "Declarations gathered from prisoners and our own observation lead u« to estimate at least one-third of the total engaged as the minimum losses of the Germany Infantry up to April l. If is therefore 130.000 men who have fallen solely on the first battle line. "But tho German losses do not stop here. In a modern battle long range guns reach far .behind the first line. striking lines of communication and the quarters of troops. As-the range of the artillery lengthens, the zone of destruction behind .the ^battle line Increases proportionately. The Germany artillery, literally pl'tid up in the woods sufltered loss comparable with .those- of .the Jknfwijfy. Finally ouriheitvyartH- lery reach" supply camp.H and lnhqmarj able convoys in the rear.

Much of Cole's evidence.was hearsay and he had to be told 'by members of the committee to confine his story to matters on which he had first hand knowledge, l-le .was also pulled up utice or twice for giving his personal opinions on various points iu the evidence. He repeated his story of alleged meetings with Hon. W. J. Bowser and said that if he had been "treated right" and l."u"d gut the money he wunted from -Read he would have had nothing to. say. He declared that Mr. Bowser had; '.known that he was to receive; $3^000: front Bead. This has been publicly denied by Mr. Bowser. He accused H. O.

"The chancellor invokes the principle of nationality In Poland und Belgium.- There are two principles of nationality. One proclaims the simple right of each man to free self- development and association with his fellows, and looks to the exercise of that right through the establishment and steady development of democratic government within each country. "The cither summons all the professors from all the universities, covers its political designs in a cloud of ethnological theories, sends out " ita secret service agents to foment insurrections and stimulates bloodshed, and in due course reaps the rewards of Its efforts in the establishment' of rigid tyranny, fringed by a buffer borderland' of- anarchy.

World's Judgment "Has not the world made up Its mind where the responsibility for the war rests? Upon the allies whose forces were not ready for offense, or upon Germany, which had planned in advance the violation of Belgium? No, Germany says it wishes to end the hostilities. It is because it loves peace? No, because its earlier hopes of victory are dwindling and It wishes to draw full advantage from Its past successes und be in a position after the war to still dominate the continent with the threat of its formidable military machine. "What would such a peace mean? It would mean tiie triumph of the German Idea of international morality; the triumph of the system' which regards treaties as scraps of paper and finds everything permissible in war provided it is successful. "Do not make any mistake Germany Is still unchanged. We havo still to deal with the same Prussianized power.

(By Staff Correspondent.) iPRESS GALLERY, VICTORIA, B.C., April 7.—Up to date the province, with this years' estimates, has expended |3S6,(H)0 on the new British Columbia .building on Regent street, London. To this must be added $270,000 which will be paid off in instalments of Interest at 5 per cent and sinking fund ol' 2 Vj per cent during a period of 30 years. When times are' normal rents from offices in tbe building will more than pay the annual interest and sinking fund on this 30-year loan. Premier Bowser gave this information to the opposition during discussion of the lfllfJ estimate of -MTCOOO for the build tng. The UO.-year payments is pro vided for in the contract with the contractor for the building. Macdonald Criticizes. M, A. Macdonald argued that the contract should'have been passed by the legislature. Ernest Miller repiied that the arrangements in connection with the building had been thoroughly explained by Sir Richard McBrlde in the legis lature which had, as Premier Bowser pointed out on three occasions, given Its approval when It had voted about $200,000 as part of the payments. "We were over-enthuslastlc perhaps when we commenced -construction of the: building," said the premier,, "but we had great assets and knew that they needed capital from across the water to develop them." The province had. therefore gone ahead with its building in London. It was a magnificent building and If conditions were not, favorable at this time, when times again became normal British Columbia would reap the benefits. Strike Raised Cost, The building had, on account of a strike and the war, cost $100,000 more than anticipated but it had to be paid for;, the situation Iliad been faced. After the War the offices in the building would be rented and money would again begin to flow into British Columbia for the development of its resources and the new 'building in London would bo needed by tho province. Mr. Brewster contended that the people 'did not know of the expenditures which lhad been made in the past. In answer to this it was again pointed out that the legislature had on three occasions considered the matter.

"That members of the staff of the department of works have reported this road as one that should be built and havo prepared estimates of the cost. "That the legislature of the province has at various sessions passed legislation providing the money for the building of this road in whole or in part, yet so far this legislation has been disregarded; "This meeting, therefore, calls upon the minister of works to carry out the expenditure upon the construction of this road, which lie ts by legislation authorized to do and that In view of the long delay and urgent need of this work, commencement be made as soon as weather and other conditions make the operations practicable." Rich Country to South In moving the resolution, Aid. Dr. W. O. Rose spoke of the vast resources lying to the south of the city which, he said, would be opened up by the construction of a wagon road be tween Nelson and Ymir. Further south, he said, lay the fertile Pend d'Orellle district, which, he declared, was the finest agricultural section that It had ever beOn his good fortune to visit.

MINING CONVENTION' SHOULD r BRING GOOD RESULTS • ' ■{ kpoleinay and Roundury should behefrt greatly through the convention, nf-mining men which is to.be held, at Nelson in July. Strong su-p- pbrtr should be given to those who are maltlui? arrangements for the gathering..' Of Uio natural resources of Koote- rifiy'antl Boundary none at the present time Is attracting as much attention from. Investors ns mining and there is rfea'son for believing that that Industry'will continue to occupy the l»3ad)ng' position in this respect for some time to con.e. Not only are conditions affecting the mining business* peculiarly favorable but the in- diCiUlnn.s arc that they will continue to. be-so for years. i This being so, Iftlfi is a year in whikh much new capltJil should come Into, the district for tho development of Ms .mines and mineral prospects. It cannot be expected, however,' tn Come uninvited. JOvery effort should be'.-; rtvirte to gain . publicity for the mineral' resources of the district and the .possibilities for. profitable investment which they, offer. The proposed convention wilt serve this purpose. It will;not only attract attention to the industry, but It will also bring outside itivestnrs and mining- men on tn the jftlpund and enable them to see- with their own eyes what has been accom- Htljlshcd and gnln an idea of what can bfe .accomplished; if the necessary capital Is provided.

Yot he makes no complaint regarding the High cost of living. On the contrary, he appears to be surprised and pleased to get so much for tho money, considering the kind of money it is.—Chrlstinn Science Monitor. Guileless Journalists The confidence of certain journalists in the reliability of the news issued by the' Turkish war office grows every day. Thus, quite recently, fresh from the victory with immense imaginary losses to their opponents, the Turks announced the rout of the allied troops advancing to the relief of tho garrison at Kut-el-Amara. The start.bigness of the headlines grew with this startling faith In the Turkish news bureau. "Great Turk Victory," or "British on the Run In Mesopotamia," were among the most approved efforts. And only to think that the able victory was over the innocence of the journalists concerned and the only thing that wns on the run was their ink.—Christian Science. Monitor. Paper Finance Dr. Karl Helffcrich, the secretary to the Imeprial German treasury,, told the relchstag that tho war was costing Germany and her allies only thiriy, million dollars a day, as compared with sixty million dollars a day for the quadruple entente. Even If these figures are correct, they give the Germans no ground for optimism. Britain's wealth alone is much more than twice Germany's, and after it is exhausted, France, Italy and Russia can contribute a little more. Dr. Holfferich foYgot to mention that German flnanco consists of "scraps of paper" and that the value of the mark has declined enormously in recent months, while British credit is as good as ever and London js still, the world's banker and bill discounter. Germany is staking all on an In- demnity—but before she gets it she must win the war. And we know that that is utterly Impossible.—Vancouvei World.

Among all the millions In this war there have been none quicker to go than those men of Ireland;, there have been no-more valorous in battle; there have been nnne more steadfast in defeat; there have been none more true to. the nation of which their land is a part, none more gallantly devoted to the cause of the. allies, which Is the cause of civilization.1 Take a look at the two or three thousand in a 'New York hotel—comfortably talking and easily living.

"Neutrals cannot bo held responsible for this plan. Wc therefore must oppose with the utmost sharpness unrestricted use nf tho torpedo. Right of neutrals' neutrality must be respected most conscientiously in the use. of the submarine." Comment of the Gorman press indicates that the, war aims of the government, as set forth by the chancellor, will have the support of all Germans-with the exception of the most extreme Socialists. Polish Annexation Striking features of this editorial discussion are the open or tacit assumption that the chancellor's words regarding the Polish provinces meant nothing less, than their annexation and tbe fact that annexationists have no objection to what the chancellor said. ■ The Kretise Zeltung says' tlio chancellor spoko along the linos of a decided annexation policy. The comment of Theodore "Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt, refers to: the statement Issued last July by several hundred of tho Empire's leading ripen, who declared the Incorporation into the empire of politically independent nations would threaten Gorman unity. Ilerr Wolff says he was among the signers of this statement; and said: "That declaration contains nothing that con clash with the chancellor's utterances." The press Is uncertain what tbe chancellor meant" hy- his utterances regarding Belgium but declares unitedly that, tho'.government's program is the minimum that can he demanded. The Conservative paper, the Tages, Zeltung, contents itself with a non- comlttal.i summary of the chancellor's speech, and hints at' what it would say If'it could. Thet Vossische Zeltung thinks the speech means Germany must fight until England desires i^'eacc, since the 'speech will quench any possible :ex-t istlng Russian inclination to make peoce and, remove any possible disharmony among the entente allies. The Vorwaerts, the, Socialist organ, Is highly dissatisfied with the chancellor's remarks, holding that he had gone over to the annexation band. It commends the Socialist leader for the stand he took in the debate. Uproar in Reichstag There was an uproar hi the relchstag yesterday when ugo Saase, leader of the newly formed Socialist minority, declared that bis party was strongly opposed to partition of Poland and demanded the restoration of Belgium. lie said: "The, Baltic peoples, Lithuanians and Letts, did not desire union with Germany before .the war..1'Tho injustice done to Belgium must be compensated for by Its separation ns n state. In 1013 Ilerr von Jagow (foreign minister) declared Germany would uphold tbe neutrality of Belgium. Thus all the mnro surprising was the chancellor's announcement Aug. 4, 1014, that Gorman troops probably had crossed the Belgian frontier." ' Herr von Jagow, in reply, said: "Heir Hnase has dished up again old Belgian stories. Whon I made tbe declaration about Belgian neutrality I considered It a'neutral country. It has been thoroughly proven that the responsibility for what happened lies on Belgium's side." X THE WEATHER J Min. Max.

In settings and costumes tiie play is both realistic and convincing, while the heart Interest provides some bis1 scenes in which. Hobart Bonvorth's genius is given .ample opportunity. This good feature is aptly described hy the phrase "as big as all outdoors.'' CHILD GETS CROSS, WIN CONSTIPATED Look, Mother!

The legislature - by amending the, statutes had given protection against dogs and now any farmer who was a pretty ifair shot need not fear much from them. But panthers had caused great, losses to sheep raisers. The present bounty was not high enough to induce ranchers to go out and kill tho animals and ho advocated that it bo doubled. The bounty last year had cost the province $3780.

Between the various states and the federal government there has been a longstanding dispute respecting game laws. Some of the states have allowed spring shooting, whereas the-federal law has prohibited such shouting. There were other variations lu tiie laws which, in tho cases of the states, tended to rob wild fowl of protection,; ..The matter was submitted Co ij.be supreme court last year, but. a decision has not 'been rendered; tout, In the meantime, the federal' department of agriculture has anhuuiiced that it will be bound toy tho action 'of congress, in, ll)13-.tn' promulgating game regulations, and .that U will prosecute, with tho ,utmo§j; .vigor,, those who are found (slfootnlg wild fowl 'tHIs spring.;; It is hoped that .the federal regulations will supersede'.-the. stuLe laws, ■or 'that the state laws may be made lu conform with the federal regula-. tlpns. The latter course wotuld savo the face of tiie states and wo'uld bring about the desired result. It is a.crime to shoot wild fpw.lln. tho* spring unless,these do a^ material ; durftage to the\crops'or to anything that is of value to mauklnd.;.ln a fewv days the ducks- and ortierwUd- fowl Will too winging their way from the south toy the million, but overy pair that is shot toy tbe liunters en route means tho loss of six ur eight or mofo birds that would ordinarily be hatched this coming summer, .

America for hundreds oif years, but if they are destroyed in the spring,and fall, they will soon toe' as scarce as the wild pigeons which used to darken the sky.

But not all sixes are superior to all fours. Wc build fours that are superior to many sixes. And our only purpose in building a six is to satisfy with Overland finality that extremist demand for well nigh miraculous motor performance, v The Overland Six is a big, roomy, luxurlou?, seven passenger car with a motor of unusual power, smoothness and Flexibility. But the price is only $1600—much lower than any .other car of its size and class. Such a low price for such a superlative car is possible only because the Overland Six is part of a huge production. .In fact Overland production is easily double that of any other builder of cars of like class. .! L So in buying the Overland Six you not only secure a car of very unusual perforinance— But you get the advantage of the economies possible only in the production of cars on so vast a scale, "tfr i'Us ' While the prices of other 'sixes are advancing, and those recently announced are on a higher price level, the Overland price remains at $1600. , ■ It is so clearly dominant value among sixes of its size and class, that the demand is taxing even our large capacity. .

BUILD SUBMARINES IN HALF A MONTH WASHINGTON—Thomas A Edison's suggestion that the government appropriate liberally for a federal research laboratory finds support, as was expected, among; officials of the navy department. It was even stated by some that should Mr. Edison's contribution to the cause of preparedness -be more than this suggestion and should the treatment accorded the suggestion, by the government be commensurate with its importance, the inventor will haye done his full share toward putting the country in a state to defend Itself. Mr. Edison's suggestion was made before the House naval committee. He declared that with a fully equipped federal'research laboratory and standardization of machine parts, a submarine could be built in 15 days. Such a laboratory, preferably under the administration of the navy department, Mr. Edison said,, would make experiments to standardize parts of submarines or aeroplanes. The government would distribute, these standard-- Ized parts to manufacturers. The inventor said that in dlstribu.- tlon he would-favor the small factory In the small town, because in larger city factories he thought there was too much waste of time In, red tape, A federal laboratory., he said, could be put in full working operation for $1,000,000.

(By Staff Correspondent.) PlftESS GALLBKY, VICTORIA, B.C., April 7.—"Here is an example of the inconsistency of our friends opposite. They have been urging that public works appropriations for the various ridings should be cut down 10 per. cent and now they are blaming us because we do not completely hard surface this road from Vancouver through the Delta riding," said Hon. Thomas Taylor during a discussion arising out of the passage of a vote for the collection of automobile licenses. M. A. Macdonald thought the cities should receive a share of such, license fees. :- Premier Bowser said that It would' be a very difficult matter to work out. The province had to spend considerable money in policing In connection with automobiles and in clerical assistance. The great difficulty would be in apportioning any division of the money. Provincial ""roads were largely used by automobiles, while most of the money was collected In Vancouver. The province had been giving municipalities assistance in this connection by aiding in the construction of trunk roads, Lieut. T. J. A. Mackenzie (Delta) thought the matter should' be looked into. Roads In his riding were cut up by automobiles. Mr. Brewster then contended that the government should build permanent roads instead of road a which would wear out every year, it was this statement that drew from the minister of public works the remark about the opposition displaying the inconsistency of urging that hard surfaced roads, which would be more expensive should be built and at the same time wanting the estimates cut. way that chattel mortgages must be registered has been urged on the government by a delegation of Vancouver and Victoria members of the Canadian Credit Men's Trust company. The delegation has also asked that the Partnership-act should be extended to cover jobbing, contracting, Hogging and other business In addition to "trading, manufacturing and mining," and that registered partnerships should bear the abbreviation "Reg." after the firm name. The time for the registration of partnership deeds should be reduced from three months to 10 days, said the delegation. BIQ CUT MADE IN LAND SURVEY ESTIMATES (By Staff Correspondent.)

The skins have become of such value that to kill the animals has become quite profitable, he said, and the government which during the fiscal years found Its appropriation under this head exhausted before the end of the year, had decided that it was advisable to reduce the amount.- About $10,000 more than was estimated had been required in the fiscal year 1915-16.

Tablets Britain's Greatest Remedy rould often tell the Canadians what they thought of them; using the English language. One of their favorite comments, he said, was to the effect that the Germans could speak English,' but that the British; being savages, could not speak German. Germany, they would declare, was the cultured nation of the. world. Welcomed at Dock. Owing to the short notice given of tho arrival of Pte'. McLennan In Nelson and the ;fact that 'several members of tho reception committee wero out of town, tho welcome that was given him when he stepped off the boat at the dock was not In point of numbers all that was hoped for. but in enthusiasm it fulfilled every desire. The members of the Nelson company of the 225th battalion, which, headed -by the bugle band, had marched to the wharf, led in greeting him with prolonged cheers.- The returned soldier, who still walks with a stick and limps slightly, was I hen driven to the recruiting office by B. Scott McGregor, the recruits and the bugle band forming u guard of honor. Here he received the welcome of the reception committee, Robb Sutherland speaking a few words on behalf of the absent members, before culling on Alex. Leith whq extended the welcome of the city, In th© absence of Mayor J. J. Malone, who was unable to reach the scene at such short notice. Aid. Leith Speaks for City. Aid. Leith spoke very briefly saying that the British were not us a rule given to noisy demonstrations, but that neverless a weleom lay deep in the hearts o {everybody and only needed, a suggestion for open expression. "There are only two classes of men in the British Empire nowadays," he said,, "those who go and those who stay bell ind and it must bo Impressed upon every man that the soldiers are ndt alone fighting the battles of the, lands overseas, but the battles of everyone who is unable to go himself. Every returned soldier," he added, "should bo looked upon as one-to whom we each owe- a personal debt that can never be repaid in full." Mr. Sutherland then culled upon It. W. Hinton, president of Hie board.of trade, who said: "Aid. Leith is right, there is only two classes of men in tho Empire tuduy and when a man who has gone to the front, returns it is like one of the family coining home." Would Like to Be Over There Still iPte. McLennan, when called upon for a speech, repliled: "1 won't say that I'm not glad to get home but I'd like to be over there still. That's about all, I'm no spooler, let some one else finish." The recruiting officer then.extended un invitation to McLnnun to make use of the recruiting office and the recruits' i] uarters at the armory and led 1 n three cheers and the singing of "For He's a Jolly, Good Fellow." Pte, McLennan, is well known in the city and was a member of the provincial police force stationed at Silver- ton. When war broke out he. enlisted at Nelson and went overseas ^vlth the first contingent. After being wounded ho was sent to the Liverpool military hospital and upon his^Mscluirgi lie returned to Canada in November since when lie has been visiting friends in Nova Scotia. tf-fTHERlNE- ANDERSON' " ' " DIES AT ANACONDA, MONT, Word has been received in Nelson of the death at Ancondu, Mont., March 81, of Katherlne, four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. .).

Mr. Hlnton referred to-the many efforts made by organizations in tho city and district to 'have the road constructed, covering a period of years, but ,sald that he felt certain that nc .one'.wished to urge the government Into the spendi-hg of money that waff necessary for war purposes, nor dhT he udovcato making it a political uue's- llon or embarrassing the government at u time when money was at u premium and nvuch other work was crying out for completion. However, he continued. Uhought must be taken for the future and, he de-: clared, nothing would tend to the restoration of prosperity as the establishment of roadways 'for the opening lip of but slightly worked sections of the country. The Ymir road was, in bis opinion, of vital Importance, not only to the city qt Nelson, but also to the wholo province, for with tiie opening up of the rich country through which il would run, a vast source of wealth would be released, that would have far reaching effects. Blames J. H. Schofield, M.P.P. U\ reply tu a query from one of those present as to the reason the road had not been built, F. A. Starkey threw the whole blame on the shoulders of James H; Schofield, M.P.P. for Trail riding. I-Io stated that Mr. Schofield .had announced his intention of blocking the scheme, but added that since the member for Trail-had offered Ills assist-, mice to the Nelson member in getting an appropriation for the road, he hoped that some results would bo forthcoming. Mr. Starkey also expressed the doubt that persons at the coast would ever -hear yf the meeting through the press and inquired why a stenographer was not engaged lu' Cuke the speeches verbalum.v - 1. G, Nelson stated thai he understood (ho appropriation for the Trail riding was $72,01)0 and suggested thai Mr. Schu'l'ield be asked to allot a portion uf It lo be itsed for the commencement uf the road. Br. F. ]£ Morrison declared that if the road were constructed many tour- lsin would ho Induced tu come lo the country and settle -or the summer months uu the banks of Kootenay lake and cited two cases that had come under his notice, of persons announcing their intention of doing this ... W. Holmes explained that the tourist Idea was tbe une that had first prompted the Improvement association to call the mass'meeting and called attention to the vast sums uf money i which, ihc. said, were being spent in i United States cities fur the purpose of' attracting tourists. Fraser Explains. Julia Fraser, president uf the assu-1 clatlun, whblwas in the chair, explained that it was- not the Intention of tho association^ :lo minimize the efforts that hud already been made by, other organization'to get the government to 'build tho road but that he'felt that In Justice to the people the matter should not bo dropped, because It hnd nut as yet met with success. He then called upon tho secretary to read a scrlos of letters from persons holding property in the district which would be affected by the new road.
