Troops Make Attack at t3cene of Recent Massacre (By Daily News Leased-WIre.) EL PASO, Tex., March 31.—Four hundred1 cavalrymen, under the command of Col. George A. Dodd, galloping down from the granite' slopes of the. great continental divide, have . fallen on the main body of Francisco Villa's bandits at the San Geronlmo ranch, scattering them in many directions and driving the bandit chief, wounded and crippled, to seek a hiding place in the mountains. Villa was hurried from' danger in a carriage. - The fight opened at 0 o'clock in the evening of March 29 and continued for several hours. Surprise Attack Col. Dodd, with picked troops of the 7th and 10th cavalry, fell, upon the unsuspecting Villa camp, where 500 bandits effected the massacre of 172 Carranza soldiers two days previously at Guorrero. Villa, shot through the leg and with one hip shattered, was hurried from the scene, barely in time to escape the onslaught of thej Americans. %he bandits made a brief but fruitless stand before Col. Dodd and his troopers. Then they broke and fled, lea-V-i ing 31 dead on the field, including the commander, Gen. Blizter Hernandez. Two machine guns, a -number of horses, rifles, ammunition rind equ'in- : ittenr tell mto»>Hh*^an*P':wr*,9hy' Americans, Among the known wounded is Pablo Lopez, Villa's lieutenant in the Columbus raid. The American cas- A ualttcs were four privates wounded. Fugitives Scattered ;The United. States soldiers drove the enemy before them into the' wilderness of mountain peak, desert and canyon. They halted only after the chase had led them 10 miles and /the fugitives were scattered into little bands of half a dozen men each. Villa's career has ended; his power has been broken. His death or cap' ture Is only a question of days, perhaps of hours. Such is the inevitable conclusion reached here, as little by little the details of Dodd's fide reach the border, it seems impossible that the bandit can long remain hidden, eVen In the mountainous wastes in Which he has sought refuge.

Sir Thomas White defended the legislation as drafted, saying that it was not likely to prove a hardship to Insurance companies.. Looks tike Forced Loan . In connection with the bill requiring life insurance companies to invest a Certain part of tbjclr funds In government securities, Sir Wilfrid Laurler said thai this resembled a forced loan and lie was sorry it even in war times, the government had to resort to a measure of that kind. He added that the life insurance companies were invited to invest in the recent war loan. Some did and some did not. It: seemed that this measure was to com-' jh* them to invest. Sir Wilfrid want-1 ed to know If the finance minister was forced to take such action. Sir Thomas replied that it was a war measure but a good deal could ; be said for it In time of peace.

Cadwell, mention ed in despatched from Ottawa as being connected with American ammunition companies which received orders fron>| the Canadian shell committee, would discuss the charges made against Gen. Hughes, when seen here tonight. The Tribune says: "If Gen.

Wall StreetMntereated. "Airing til' the charges was of particular interest to Wall street, as they told, for the "first time of the recent activities of B. F. Yoakum* chairman of the 'Frisco railroad, who, wlth.E. F. Bassick of Bridgeport,-Conn., and Col. Allison were alleged to be the backers of the two companies. ■ June li> they obtained fuse contracts from'Canadian shell committee to the value of $22, 000,000. The day the contracts were awarded, it was said, the shell com mlttee advanced $2,166,000. "The Tribune learned yesterday that Yoakum's and Basslck's connection with-the two companies lay in the fact that for, turning over the two contracts amounting . to 2,500,000 fuses, each to the two' concerns, they were paid a commission both in stock and cash. Just what the total amounts to In dollars was not disclosed. Figures Exaggerated. "It was satd, nuwever, that the figures' mentioned In Ottawa despntches were exaggerated. "At the.time of the organization of the Anierlcan Ammunition company last summer It was announced that the big typewriter concerns, of the country were interested in Its organization as their machinery especially adapted them to manufacturing 'fuses for high explosives and shrapnel shells. One- tenth of the -big fuse contracts, it was said, Was sublet to the < 'liver company. "It was announced on Jan. 28 that the International Arm company had secured a fuse'contract through ,1. p. Morgan & Co.; valued at approximately 110,000,000. The stock exchange firm of- F, B.

LONDON. April 1.—At the close of the financial year last night the government issued a report which shows that the total revenue of the United Kingdom for the year amounted to ii33fi,7fifi,82i, being an increase of £110,072,741 over last year. The largest increase was in property and income tax, including the super tax, which was £58,021,000. The principal items of revenue during the past year were as follows; Customs, .£59,00(1,000; excise, £01,- 120,000; inheritance tax, £31,035,000; stamp tax, £«,7«4,000; land tax, £2,- 650,000; Income tax, £12S,320,000; post office, £33,300,000; excess profits tax, £140,000; crown lands, £550.000; Suez canal stock, £2,432,000; land value duties, £363,000. , Above Estimates. The total is about £31,000,000 above the estimates made by Chancellor Mc Kenna lust'September. In addition, the second instalment of the Income tax and a large'part of the excess profits tax are still to be collected and added to the receipts of last year. The small amount thus far collected from the excess profits tax is one of the surprising features of the statement, indicating the difficulties of adjusting this tax. The buoyant yield of revenue during the last year shows the chancellor may rely on collecting far more during the next year from thV existing taxation tlian ho has counted on heretofore. As the fall benefit of the recent taxation will not lie felt for some months there is a probability that the revenues for the new 'fiscal year commencing Saturday will .'yield "^450.000.000, or moi'o than double the yield prior to the war. Further Tax in Budget. While further taxations are sure to be indicated in the budget, there is less fear of a large additional income tax in view of the favorable returns. Regarding expenditures, the statement Shows that £1,553,000,000 has been spent or £81.000,000 less than the estimates. This added to the gain of £31,000,000 In revenue, shows the year ending £62,000,000 to the good, as compared with the estimates. The treasury receipts recently were swelled by sales of treasury bills and exchequer bonds. The continued purchase of these securities Is expected largely to finance the war. For some time certain sections of the financial community have ibeen inclined to the belief that a war loon will be proposed for. the present.

Read Gives Detailed Account of Cash He Received From the Deal. (By Staff Correspondent.) VICTORIA, B. C„ March 31.—Confirmation of the evidence of Hamilton Read, who got $39,000 out of the sale of the Kltsilano Indian reserve, was given before a select committee of the house this morning by H. O. Alexander, who acted as agent for the government. Payment by Mr. Alexander of the $39,000 to Read was In accordance with the agreement. "Sporting agreement," he called it, made between the two, that if either put through tho deal he would share equally with the other In any profits. He had never expected that Read could persuade the Indians to sell out, but he thought that he was show- ' ing such persistency that he might succeed. Alexander bad tho confidence of the Indians. He was the first white child born In what is now Vancouver, he is official guardian and judge of the small debts court. To his high personal character M. A. Macdonald, Liberal mem ber of the committee, paid a tribute at this morning's meeting. Read completed his evidence and stnted emphatically, after having shown where every cent of his $39,000 went, that none-was paid to any politician or for any political purposes. This was .borne out by the checks and documents he presented In support of his statement. Chiefly in real estate and mining operations and personal expenditure was the money disposed of. GREAT BRITAIN SPURNS TURK PEACE PROPOSALS PETROGRAD, March 31*—Our- , ing the last few days the Turkish government, through the Vali at Smyrna and the sultan's representatives in neptral states has-tried to induce Great;. Britain to enter formal negotiations with a view to arranging peace terms. . The British government refused to. have anything to do with euoh a proposal, , (By Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, VICTORIA, B.C.. March 31.—In Ernest Miller, M.P.P. for Grand Forks, and .lames H. Schofield, member for Ymir, -Parker Williams caught two tartars this afternoon during discussion of public works ostl- .mates and had considerably the worst of the encounter. Williams had been making insinuations and suggestions during the course of an extended attack on the administration of public works construction, and carrying out a threat made some days ago to "get even" with Mr. Miller for that member's reply to Mr. Williams' reflections early in the session upon British Columbia's soldiers, murmured an insinuation to the effect that tho member for Grand Forks had "ma nipulated hotel licenses." Mr. Miller arose immediately. "The member for Newcastle,'' (Mr. Williams) ho said, "hts insinuated that I have manipulated hotel licenses, r ask Mr Chairman, that ho make a specifit statement on that point." Mr, Williams indicated'that lie would not do so and launched Into an attack on Mr. Miller in connection with the speech concerning soldiers. Mr. Miller—Mr. Chairman, the honorable, tho member for Newcastle, has made insinuations against mc in connection with hotel licenses. I insist that he must make that charge specific or withdraw it and apologize. Mr. .Williams—If the honorable, the member for Grand Forks, says that he did not manipulate hotel licenses 1 suppose I must accept the statement. Mr. Miller—1 expect that is about as good an apology as 1 can expect from that honorable gentleman. I take it that the meaning of his remarks is that there Is absolutely no truth In the Insinuations he has thrown out. Mr. Williams—It Is not for me to interpret my remarks for the honorable member. Hon. W. R. Ross—Apparently the remarks of the memiber for Grand Forks concerning the statement of the member for Newcastle concerning the soldiers-got under the honorable gentleman's skin. So apparently there was a good deal tn what he said. . Mr. Williams replied that he could, If ho wished, also get under the skins of some of the members. Mr. Miller—The) Times report of what you said substantiates my view of your speech. Mr. Williams—The Times' report does not. Miller Indignant. Mr, Miller—It is unfair for tho member for Newcastle to stand on his feet on this floor and by Inmuiedo and Insinuations make suggestions that he dare not make into a specific charge for the purpose of getting in into the Press whence it would go back to my (Continued on Page Two.) (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, March 31.—The correspondent of tho Daily Mail at the British headquarters In France describes the action at St. Elol on March 27 as having been more important than is superficially apparent',. "A valuable position was gained, he says, "consisting of rising ground which overlooked the British communicating trenches. The British loss was small, he said, and the German loss great, the latter being due mainly to the artillery and bombthrowers. "It is a remarkable fact that during the whole of the fight not a single German aeroplane was allowed to ap broach/' The correspondent writes enthusias tlcally of the dash of the men, "The men complained," he said, "that tjie Germans in some cases would not fight, but surrendered too soon. Nevertheless, there was much hard fighting. Some German bombers held their ground for hours, and the German artillery was guod." Incidents of Fighting, The correspondent records several incidents of tho fighting:. A section of British advancing was critically menaced by a German machine gun. A British subaltern and one soldier ran forward and attacked with bombs, wrecking the gun and killing the gunners. At another point two officers went astray in a German dugout which was althost unoccupied, but which led them far back into one of the principal communication trenches, where they met a number of Germans.* One of the British officers threw bombs, while the other fired his revolver. A majority of the Germans ran back; a few surrendered and the connecting trenches were cleared. Only one British officer was wounded. At another point an officer found two Northumberland fusileers, their rifles thrown on the ground, fisticuffing for the possession of a German prisoner whom both claimed. The prisoner was watching with amzement. The capture of GOO yards of German trenches at St. Elol, after a mine explosion, was carried out by two fuBillei battalions, tho NortluunbeHands and tlie Royals, with superb courage. Swept Over Everything. The fusiliers flung themselves upon the barbed wire in front of the German positions. It Is extraordinary that, despite the great upheaval, the -barbed wire and high parapets in front oif the Gorman positions still stood strong. It is still more remarkable that tho fusiliers swept across as though the obstacles were of no account and did not stop to cut the wire, it would have meant death to be held up for that work. They just stormed through and over it, tearing their clothes and hands, getting upon each other's shoulders and flinging themselves over in one great (Continued on Page Two.)

Three of our machines are missing. "Thursday night the enemy exploded a mine near Neuville-St. Vaast and endeavored to attack with infantry, but was easily repulsed by our bombers. We exploded a strong mine near the HOflenzoltern redoubt, wrecking hostile posts in two old craters. "Friday there was continued artillery activity north and south of An- gres, south of Hulluch, north of the Ploegstert wood and about. Pllkelm. South of St. Eloi an enemy attack Friday morning broke down under our fire." PARIS, March 31.—Five hundred and sixty thousand Germans are now engaged on the Verdun front, according to conservative estimates given out here today. Thirty thousand Teutons engaged last night in assaults on the Avocourt blockhouse.

Official Statement The following official statement was issued tonight: "To the south of the Somme the> enemy after artillery preparation attempted a series of attacks in force against our small command in the region of Domplerre, but all their efforts failed.

Sir Wilfrid said he hoped that the government could get all the funds needed without this forced measure. There was some force In tho finance minister's statement that Insurance companies in time of peace should take part of their investments in government securities. But this would he for the safety of the policy holders. Reason Is Given Sir Thomas salt! Unit one reason for this measure was to catch some life insurance companies doing husinoss in Canada which did not invest in the war loan and would have done so but for the influence of pertain Herman shareholders. lie thought i.t ..only right that they should be inaile to invest part of their funds in government securities as they other companies had done. Hon, Prank Oliver asked if the minister would have any objection to giving the names of the companies. The minister replied that he thought it would hardly be fair. It would injure tho companies. Hon. Mr. Pugsloy thought that companies should be allowed to invest in municipal and provincial bonds and securities as well as Dominion securities. riding, that I mamipulated liquor licenses. I say that all the time that I have been in this province. T have never had anything, whatever to do with the liquor business'or with liquor licenses. The member fdr Newcastle should be man enough to stand up and admit that there is no .truth In this foul Insinuation. If he'doe? not, I denounce him. It is a dirty, mean accusation to make against any member of this house. ' Mr. Williams—Mr. Chairman, Is that language parliamentary? Mr Miller—I know, Mr. Speaker, that this language Is not parliamentary and I therefore must-withdraw it. I am sorry that no language which would be permitted on tho floor of this house would permit nie to express my contempt for the remarks of the honorable member for Newcastle. Williams'eommeneed then to arguo that since tho election of Mr. Miller In Grand Forks and John R. Jackson in Greenwood those two ridings had received, larger appropriations for public works by many thousand dollars than when they were represented by members of another political party, to which Mr. Miller replied that he did not think that the government was to lie blamed If the representatives of another pnrty had not worked hard enough to secure grants for Grand Forks of the same magnitude ns he had obtained .by constantly urging the claims of his district upon the cabinet. Mr. Schofield clashed with Mr. Williams when the member for Newcastle said that. G. M. Benncy, road superln tendenc for ymir ihad been paid for 334. days* work' in the last fiscal year and then said that Behney should not work on Sunday ns apparently insin uating that he charged for time he had not put In. Sunday after Sunday. Mr. Schofield replied, the superintendent had gone .iver the tiding with him when pressure of work had made It necessary to do so. "Did he travel In the government auto?" asked Mr. Wllllamsv "The superintendent hns no auto," retorted Mr. Schofield. "l may also inform him that I have always been capable of paying my own expenses and am always willing to do so," he replied to another remark by the Newcastle member. Mr. Schofield further pointed out that if Mi: Williams would take the trouble to Investigate the matters he was discussing be would find that there was no political discrimination as to road work in that riding, that there were several Liberal foreman and that Socialists, Liberals and Conservatives all received equal treatment. As to the road superintendent, he hud never, as far as Mr. Schofield knew, been a member of any Conservative association. Mi'. Williams then switched to another ground fqr attack, wandering north tu the Prince Rupert riding. Canadian Northern Extension From Victoria Will Be Completed by June 1.- (B.y Staff Correspondent.) PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, March 31—On the Canadian Northern railway line between Victoria and Port Alberni construction operations have heen carried out on 13(1% miles and 130 miles have been graded, states the minister of railways in reply to questions by H. C. Brewster. This line Is expected to foe completed by June 1. The answer to the questions state that the government has no Information as to the names of the shareholders or directors of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway company, that the contractors for the Victoria- Port Alberni line are A. J. McDonald, A. J. McDonald & Nettleton, Bruce & Bachlash 'company, Grant, Smith & Co., Moore & Pethwlck and the Northern Construction company. Classification as regards grading. quality of materials used and the carrying out of construction properly are being cheeked by the -chief engineer of the provincial government and by B. T. Johnson and Alexander Ferguson for the Dominion government. The standard of construction Is up to first .class main lino sr^ciflcationa.- The amount required to complete the line in readiness for operation Is $2,241,- 956. Up to Feb. 1 $4,100,105 has been paid to contractors for their work and the amount of money released by the government from the sale of guaranteed bonds Is $2,879,259. The work performed is 64% per cent of the total estimated cost of tho work. The amount released toy the government is 5-8 per cent of the total amount of the guaranteed bonds, the government having retained a safe margin. It is not a fact, the replies states, that tho government hns released 83 per cent of the bond guarantee while only r>5 per cent of the work has been done, as was suggested by Mr. Brewster In his questions. "As soon as financial conditions permit," is the re- ply to the nuestion as to when the company proposes to-complete the con structlon of the line. TRAIL HOTELS Phone t. Sample Room!

PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, March 31.—To. date the Indian land commission, which is expected to -complete its work of settling many vexed questions between the Indians and the Dominion, and provincial governments in six Weefts, has: cost British Columbia $\%$l%f)rlM; according .to replies 'Ivy. the minister of finance to questions asked by M. A, Maedouald which deal largely with payments to J. P. Shaw, M\ \\ B. for Kamloops, as a member of the commission. Half of the cost of the commission Is borne by the Dominion and half by the province. The answers to the questions state that Mr. Shaw sat as a member of the legislature In ifllfi and received his sessional allowance of $1(1000. In reply to a question as follows: "If It appears that the said ,T. P, Shaw has received payment for services and living allowances from the Dominion treasury (one-half of which •s paid from the treasury of the province of British Columbia) at the rate of $30 a day and also Cor a portion of the same time received indemnity and mileage on account of his attendance at a session of this house, will this government take any action to recover all or any portion of such money?" the minister has replied: "This is a federal commission and payments are made by the federal authorities who pay the expenses of the commission and afterwards ask the provincial government to recoup them as to its share The matter of these payments will be brought to the attention of the federal department to take such action as they may think proper." Questions as to the rate of pay and the days upon which work was carried on are not answere, as the information is In the hands of the federal Indian department. Progress and Interim reports of the work of the commission havo bcwr.recelved by tho provincial government from time to time, but it might not be in the public interest to submit them to the legislature now, states another answer.

Mackay & Dlppie; 218 Eighth avenue wist, Calgary**': ,,:-a-j*r,LWj, 1;.iH,,-.,! ».... 1 „m ■ _ (Hy Staff Correspondent,) PRESS, GALLERY, VICTORIA, March 81.—The •correspondence between the Rev, Dr. 'John Mackay, head of the Presbyterian College of Westminster Hall, with members of the McBrldc government relating to the question of Dr. Mackay's proposed appointment, to the presidency ot the university ,bf, British Columbia,, has been under discussion In the legislature. The correspondence is about four years old. Doubtless it would have lain amongst tho musty files in the legislative building tor the next 40 years hnd not .the reverend gentleman taken a very, active part rocently tri public affairs... , ■ .. The letters were submitted to the house today., following the. passage of a motion of Henry Thomson, it. I,. A., of Victoria. The obvious reason foi- the digglng-up of this correspondence is to attempt to show that Dr. Mackay ill. his recent strictures on tho Conservative government is actuated ..yby motives of revenge In not being appointed president of the university of British Columbia. * '" •' For_ Lenten CLARK'S is W OLARK, LIMITED MANUFACTURERS MONTREAL Hit Congratulations For Instance, Dr. Mackay was a, few weeks ago reported oh the public platform as referring to this "God- cursed government," while on March 22, 1912, the same gentleman, then alleged to bo holding the belief that he was to be appointed president of the university, in a letter to Dr. Young, former provincial secretary, speaks in this kindly way: "Dear Dr. Young—Allow me to offer you my hearty congratulations on your well-deserved return by accla matlon to your own home constituency, I never had any doubt as to the ultimate result, although it is gratifying to have the tension over.' Your colleagues in Vancouver and Victoria are hoving to fight for it, but it does not seem to me that there is much doubt as to tho ultimate ver- dlot being all that any of you.can desire." Not All Published There are many letters from Dr. Mackay which are marked "private and confidential," and -Hon. Thomas Taylor, provincial secretary, told the house thiB afternoon that it was not the present intention ot the government to table- them owing to their confidential nature and in deference to the obligation resting upon tho recipients of letters of such a character. , JSSB«yer, the. letters >yh),c|i .we» ,|iot marked "private and confidential," proved quite interesting to the members. They serve to throw a sidelight upon the activity ot Dr. Maokuy last spring when Dr. Mackay seriously considered running on the Liberal ticket in Vancouver in order to lead as strong an opposition as possible against the McBrlde forces. Rumor had it at that time that Dr. Mackay, ,w,ho was looked upon as a man above the petty, sordid attributes of politicians, would become the premier should the Liberals be placed in power. Eventually, however, Dr. Mackay decided not to enter tbe field. He continued, though, openly artd strenuously, to oppose tho government on Its record and Its policies. The first letter of the file tabled in the house bears the date March 1, 1912. In one letter he writes, apparently with small reserve. He refers to what ho describes ns the "Methodist machine," making It evident that In his opinion there are machines other than tho Russian steam-roller and tho political machines. Ho writes that the Methodist machine Is after something, "but that is a habit It has." He also says in the samo epistle that a small band, headed by F. C. Wade, K. C 'editor of tho Sun, and Principal Vance, is attempting to discredit the government's method of making the appointment, but those people "do not represent anyone but themselves," Dr. MuckajNadds. The "valued" Sun, which later was to publish and commend so many columns of Dr. Mackay's nttnckn.ion the government, also comes In for a passing rap. ' The First Letter Dr. Mackay's first letter was on March 1, 1912. It is given In part as follows: Westminster Hall, Vancouver, B. C, * " March 1, 1912. Dear Dr. Young,—Your all too kind letter of February 28 received.

I fought a resolution they tried to get throdghour executive, strongly eon--' demning tho government for1 it, and am afraid^ I am a marked man with them, although they do not represent anyone but themselves, however many they may get to nominally support them. I need not tell you anything about either of the above mentioned men: you have too good a judgment of men to need any information on that score. If you see the Sun you will understand the venom of tbe at tacks it Is malting upon you. Then, too, I know that the Mctho dlst machine is after something,, but that Is a habit it has. Personally they can not have much objection to me, as they offered to make me principal of a joint college composed of their college and ours. They are strongly denominational and want to control things as much as they can, but they will fall In with any action which is promptly taken and strongly supported. Personally, you know my attitude. I have not and will not raise a finger ,to get appointed, and no friend of mine, so far ns I could help It, bos in any way attempted to influence you or other members of the government on my behalf, but it you and the other members of tho government are persuaded that I have tho ability to do the work required b'ctter . than any other man In sight, and are only hesitating because of uncertainty ot the local situation, I- will be only too glad to show you how I stand with the really representative elements all through tbe province.

The resolution referred to correspondence relative to his pleading his cause to be made president of the British Columbia university." l In rising to move the resolution Mr. Thomson said: "I want, first of all, for It "to be distinctly understood that I am making no attack on any religious 'body whatsoever, but, when a man appears in the political arena and eliminates himself from the protection of the cloth, it then becomes a question of melt instead of doctrines, and in creatures Instead of creeds. "During the last campaign, as the public is well aware, tho reverend gen tleman referred to in the motion toot a very active part, and, as reported ih the papers of - the country, made a very-bitter attack upon the administration, referring to members of this house as 'Huns', and Stating that 'the curse of Almighty God will rest upon this whole province until it has made Such practises forever impossible.' ,' The Root of Mackay's Trouble "It has been rumored that the root of the Rev. Dr. Macltay's personal animosity and vlndictiveness against the present political party in power is owing to the fact that he was hot made 'principal of the British Columbia ynlverslty, and in order to set these rumors at rest, I am asking for the return of correspondence, as it is only right that if there is any doubt about this question -the Rev. .Dr. Mackay's position should be clearly set forth at the bar of public opinion, at which bar he has already held up. thig administration and Its' Supporters as malefactors' to an unprecedented, degree. . "This gentleman has evidently taken a very keen interest in regulating the political affairs of Canada, as jl notice be is writing on Canadian .politics, and one article in particular seems to be of deep Interest. It is entltled:,'I-Ieol- ing tiie Body Politic.'. .Referring to the closing chapter, the following extract Is of great Interest: " -This is tiie day of opportunity for tbe .church and all holy forces, Ancient shams and conventional lies are being tried ns If by fire. Nothing but righteousness can stand tbe test and If the church does not rise to her opportunity she ought to give way for somo institution with Insight and passion born of God for the. salvation of the nation.' "Was this step.advised without any careful consideration or investigation of any kind? Does the Reverend doctor apply the epithet 'diabolical' as freely to all the legislative bodies in Canada as he has to British Columbia? Mahomet Moses Cotsworth "The setting which surrounded one of tho speeches of this gentleman is most inspiring, and It. was, to. my mind, like a meeting to expound and extol the wonders ot the Liberal -Koran', generally known throughout the prqvlii.ee ns 'The Crisis in British Columbia,- and tbe introduction of the great author of this won, posing as Mahomet. Can you imagine the scene, Mr. Speaker, when the Rev. Dr. Mackay burst forth eloquently in the following way? 'We have here in this hail tonight a man who is poor in everything but his wonderful genius and his unimpeachable integrity." Jvnd over in ono corner of the hull, at'these words, you can almost imagine you see Moses peeping coyly from behind his screen of bullrusbes, and then, ■wreathed in smiles and black, kinky Semitic whiskers, burst forth on the admiring audience as tbe author of this great work they are foregathered to expound. At this stage of tho game, the enthusiasm must have been terrific, when many there hud the opportunity, for the first time, of seeing tho originator' of 'The Crisis in British Columbia.' Moses Mahomet Cotsworth, who was, later on, brought to book by a jury of his peers in Vancouver, and described by eminent counsel in tho case ns "a man with an utterly unreliable memory.'add a horrible'Im?j agination.- ' , '*-*" * "' '' '': Was Revenge the Motive? "I do not propose to.pass judgment on the reverand gentleman, but the time has come for exposures and tho analysing of tho motives of some of the .peoplo who have venturod into tbe realm of politics. In fact, Mr. Speaker, to revert to tbe Scriptures, tho time for the separation of the sheep, from the goats is at hand, and referring to the 25th chapter of Matthew, the 32nd and 33rd ver-jfes, we will find tho method adopted: 'The sheep shall be placed on the right hand, but tho goats on the left.' "It is up to the people of British Columbia to decide whether Rev. Dr. Mackay wilt be on tbe left or not. The question for the .people to decide is whether Rev. Dr.' Mackay made full or any Investigation before taking tho step of appearing on tbe public platform attacking the administration, or was be lmeplled and blinded by personal motives of revenge bocause he was not appointed principal of tho British Columbia university?" Not Attacking the Church Mr. Thomson closed ,by reiterating the statement that he was not making any attack on the church, on any church or on any denomination .whatever, but when a man descended, as hnd Dr. Makay, from the pulpit to the political arena 'he look a e-ortuln responsibility on bis shoulders: He was answerable for what he said to tbe people of tbe province and the facts in this case should be made public. It '1-rtod been said that tho motion bad been put on the order paper at tho request of tho government or a cabinet minister.

March 31.—A high authority of the war office gives a summary of official opinion of the resumption of the battle of Vertlun as follows: . ""We had been expecting a new attack for two reasons: First, the Incessant German bombardment, and, second, the certainty that the Germans had staked to much on a victory to dare to withdraw. Besides with their vast accumulation of material* — ofTensive—thoy must have a victory, however limited or eostly, to encourage their own people and overawo those neutrals who are inclined to turn against them, "That is the worst of a bluff. There comes a time when only desperate measures can prevent the/ truth becoming known,' Ready to Attack. "Although this new battle may 'be on a scalo scarcely less gigantic than the one before, there is one Important difference, the keynote of which was struck in the opening engagements. The French are no longer confined to standing on the defensive and making counter-attacks as tho only form of offensive. Wo 'have now regained the initiative and are prepared to attack whenever the occasion warrants.'' The German press has described our Le Mort Homme and Mill 304 as untenable salients which is the mercy of the first assault from Avocourt wood. The recapture of the most important fortifications In that wood proves that they arc stit] far from having a mastery of the salient, which, without being a vital part of our defense, would enable them to enfilade the French batteries across the river, which have hitherto barred tho road to Pepper HIM, Dou an Mont or Vaux. They 'have learned the cost of attacking there while we hold Le Mort Homme, so it is probable that their efforts will bo directed mainly west of tho Mouse, with merely sporadic attacks on the east as a diversion, Germans Like Sheep. But there Is another factor for them. Owing to the terrific bombardment a modern battle tends to ibecome more and more a question of individuals. The trenches behig smashed, the defenders are split into two groups, and often two or three privates in a shell hole with a mitrailleuse can change defeat into a victory. That is whero the Frenchmen show up best and where German discipline breaks down. In masses the Germans will face certain death, but once split into groups they act like .bewildered sheep. ThiH ifaetor will decide not only Verdun but also the battles of the future. WHITE HORSE Scotch SAFETY FIRST-- Last -and all the time ■ ABSORBINE f TRADE MAHK BEG.U.S.PAT Off.

ANCIAL STANDING No more completely convincing reply to the Liberal charges that the credit pf British Columbia has been dissipated could be desired1 than the (act that the government has been successful in securing a loan of $1,- 000,000 .for a 20-year period on terms ' which are better than those obtained by the: Dominion in Its latest loan floated in the United States. Financiers do not invest money in Institutions whose credit has been dissipated; certainly they do not loan money upon terms better than obtained by the Dominion of Canada unless the borrower's financial standing is of the very highest order. . The men who have paid such a high compliment to the credit of British Columbia by investing In Its securities at the low rate of Interest, announced by Hon. Lome A. Campbell, have done so with full knowledge of the railway guarantees and of the details of the financial standing of the province. Are they or the government's/critics best qualified to reach a sound conclusion upon this matter? 'never before had experience df>a:« army which paid as it went and paid in real money.

The past-year was the fourth best in production since the corporation was organized, gross revenue having been $726,683,589 and net revenue $140,- 250,066, gains respectively of $168,- 268,656 and $58,503,548 over 1914. In 1915 the corporation produced 11,762,639 tons of finished steel, a gain of 30.49 per cent on 1914 and 85 per cent of capacity, taking the year as a Whole, but in the last quarter production equaled maximum capacity end, this condition continuing, 1916 Will show nearly 14,000,000 tons produced,, the greatest output in the big company's history. The value of finished steel sold abroad was $95,163,393 against $42,- 784,091 In 1914, an increase of 122 per cent, and domestic sales were $391,- 188,661', an increase of 15.9 per cent. ' Prices of export tonnage were $4.19 a ton higher and of domestic tonnage only 26 cents a ton higher than in 1914, the general average being $1.05 a ton higher. During this year about $75,000,000 Is to be expended on betterments, mostly out of earnings. ' V The average number of employees in ^915 was 191,126, a gain of 6.56 over 1914, and the average was $3.01 a day, an increase of 4 cents.

A total of T deatfta occurred. The average cost if medical attendance among families In medium circumstances was $57.

M."N|M|ZED '■ It is curious how men lose fear of deatii after they watcli it from day to day. By this is not meant the fear of death in battle nor yet those who give up their sons to death, with never a sight of the sabre or bayonet that kills them. 'Rather tho general feeling about war and war's results by those who take no part in the game. The sinking of the French auxiliary cruiser La Provence recalls the thousands of noncombatants who travel in small boats and great boats each day around the mine-strewn coast of England. The English channel is a hotbed of mines. The .North sea is invested with death dealing devices. None can say where death lurks. There is perhnps no port, great or small, on the Irish sea or the British channel or the Mediterranean or North sea that has not harbored survivors from sunken vessels. But this does not hinder ocean travel on those dangerous seas, it may seem very foolish to us that this travel should continue, tor back of the sinking of La Provence are the graves of a hundred ships and the thousands of passengers that went down with them. This war is taking away some of tho tender mind of the world.

PRESS GALLERY, LEGISLATURE, VICTORIA, March 31—H. C. Brewster is what some prominent Vancou1 Liberals—who have their own ideas as to who would best serve their purpose as leader of the Liberal .party—'have described' as "titular" leader of the Liberals; M. A. Macdonatd Is the runner-up for the job but Is willing to accept a cinch hold on the, attorney- generalship if his party gets into power during 'his political life; Ralph Smith has seen visions and dreamed dreams and does still see Visions and dream dreams of sliding into Mr Brewster's position and there are one or two others who have their, eyes glued to any and every possible prospect that may open up for cuckooing the opposition member for Victoria out of his somewhat windshaken little nest. But while tho- sparring for -position goes on In Victoria and elsewhere among the Liberal aspirants for: leadership there is one of -'the one or two others" afforded who is enjoying the powers, of leading "titular" Leader Brewster. Hep is John Oliver, ex-member—very much *'ex*'—*for Delta, and now a candidate in Dewdney where he is less well known and where ho considers his prospects of again being elected to the legislature are less lacking in promise than In the riding now represented 'by Lieut. Frank Mackenzie. While Mr. Brewster sits in tho house as the Liberal leader in a seat which, significantly enough, is below that of Parker Williams and Socialist John Place,' John Oliver—"Honest John" they used to call him—is running the show from the lobby and the Liberal room.' And John, with that self-effacing modesty for which he is famed, never hesitates to tell and and sundry and particularly visiting Liberals from other cities, about the important work lie accomplished'-in guiding the course of Mr. Brewster In the legislature. Of course, John cannot sjt in the chamber, but hevcan sit In the lobby opposite the door and expatiate' upon points of order, the wickedness of ail Conservatives and the inability of the speaker to perform the functions of his office to the satisfaction of John Oliver. When the seat grows hard John hies him back to the Liberal committee room, whence a brief space there emerges a page, loaded with speech matrelal or questions which the ex-member tor Delta and 'present director of the conduct of the Liberals in the legislature, desires that either Mr. Brewster or Mr. Macdonald should ask of the government. And Mr. Brewster or Mr. Mucdonald puts the question on the order paper and in duo course the government gives the answer. The questions do not seem to get anyone anywhere and many of them can be answered by a study of the published records but John Oliver just delights in them. On the order paper they appear under the name of Mr. Brewster or Mr. Macdonald but while it is tho voice of Brewster or Macdonald It is the hand of Oliver. John Is very much the man behind the gun. It is he who manufactures most of the amunltlon in what one member has described as the "Liberal Poison Gasworks" and which is sliot at the treasury benches by tiie Liberal, and sometimes the Socialist, members. Frank Mackenzie in the house the other day remarked that anyone who wanted to know who dominated the Liberal party hero had only to look at the orders of the day ,or listen to Mr Brewster's speeches. "I had only to close my eyes when the honorable member for Victoria was speaking early in the session to recognize the campaign stuff that was shot'at me by John Oliver in the riding of Delta 15 years ago." John went away from the legislature for a few days recently. Conservative members thought ho must be secreting himself in tho gas factory room and was digging up some more old campaign stuff and long questions to bo asked by his two representatives in the house. But no long question appeared on the order paper, no fiery attack on the government developed. Business proceeded quite rapidly. Then the reason became apparent—John Oliver, the man behind the gun, the Warwick who has his own modest personal views unchanged by the progress of time as to who should be made king of the Liberal party, had "been, called out of the city. But he has returned and the hyphenated Liberal-Socialist or Socialist- Liberal minority can look bock to the factory in the rear of the battlellnes with a confidence born of tho knowledge that ample amunltlon for talking and questioning will again be forthcoming. That the amunltlon should be defective and fall to explode docs not mater to the opposition just now although they may; have a hard time explaining why they failed to make <good their gas allegations against the 'government when the time comes for the representatives of the parties to go upon the hustings at the general election campaign. i: STEAMER MOVEMENTS , At New York-rAndahla, London. jjj At Falmouth—Noordam, New York. :' At Christian arid—HelHg Olav, New York. A LONG WAR. J Mr. Asqulth declares the purpose of the allies to be not only the restoration of Belgium but (obviously) compensation for her sufferings; the reconstruction of Serbia, and, as ono reads between the lines, an addition to her territory; for France, security against aggression,' which can only mean a new eastern frontier; for the small nations ' conservation of their rights, that Is to say, complete and final settlement of the question of nationality in the Balkans; and finally the extinction of Prussian militarism, that is to say, disarmament by Germany, or well defined limitation of armament that will Insure peace. This is a plan of high resolve, of unfaltering courage, of adamant resolution, but as the success of It would mean for Germany the abandonment of all her hopes of empire, economic disaster for her people and her reduction to a second class power, the war will go on until the sword is broken in her hand and she falls exhausted. Germany, however, does not accept tho view proclaimed with stout heart by the allies that the war can end only in their favor. Her confidence in final victory has not been shaken. Then there is but ono conclusion that the duration of the war cannot be measured by months^ that it may go on for.years.—New York Sun. AMONG THE "MISSING -] *-+<>++ What has become of those statisticians who used lo figuro things out for everybody? We have seen no figures published anywhere telling us how many loaves of bread per day i^re consumed by the 2(10,000 Canadians,.who havo enlisted for overseas service! The reading public lrvust surely' l/e furious (o know how many miles this bread would reach if tho loaves were placed end to end. Why is the public denied this Information? Nor has anybody—so far as wo know —informed a waiting public how many miles 250,000 rifles would reach, with a bayonet on eac,(i one, if they were placed end to end. Nor how many miles long a train would be if all the men on the side of the allies were to bo transported by rail with so many men to each coach. It is so handy to know how many times around the earth, or how far towards the moon something would reach if all of It was in a line, that one feels rather out of it, not having the information. But the statisticians who love to prepare such figures have, wo pro- sume, enlisted, which, after all, is more to the purpose just now than making these calculations which in gentler times used to be seen in the press so frequently.—Calgawy News-Telegram. j WHAT SAVED THE WORLD.

He declared it was not in keeping with the dignity of the house. Mackay Wanted Presidency H. H. Watson (Vancouver) supported the resolution. He did not think that it was either frivolous or light. It was rehlly a very serious matter. A large number of people in Vancouver had expressed curiosity about tho facts in the case and he thought they should be placed before the public. It had been charged that Dr. Mackay, who had later trembled on the brink of becoming leader of the Liberal party, had previously aspired to the high position of president of the British Columbia university. He had since taken up the support of tho author of "The Crisis" a dis charged and discredited civil servant who had written a political pamphlet which, said the member for Vancouver harflheen "conceived in hate and bor,n in rfalsehood." Cotsworth had bee* proved unreliable before the courts of this province yet after the decision of the courts Dr. Mackay had again taken the platform in his support and In defense of the pamphlet. "Talking of'blasphemy" sold the member for Vancouver , In reference to Mr. Brewster's remark, "why Dr. Mackay has said that unless his political opponents arte dismissed from office and his political friends put In 'the curse of God will rest on the province' It seems to mo that Is where the blasphemy comes In.". Dr. Mackay had made ferocious attacks on the government, attacks which were so unchristian, so unlike the Great'Master, that the speaker believed the correspondence should be brought down and the house given an opportunity to find out what it said and what was behind Dr. Mackay's antagonism to the government. Charges Animus M, A. Macdonald (Liberal member for Vancouver challenged Messrs. Thomson and Watson to discuss the case "on the public forum." That there was animus behind the request for the correspondence was shown, he said, .by tho wording of tho motion which i,tself spoke of Dr. ,Mjackay "pleading his cause." He ventured to say that correspondence would not show anything of the kind. He contended that not one minister but 50 or CO had joined Dr, Ma'ckey in'at tacking the government. Mr. Thorn son's ingenuity would be taxed to find a motive to justify tho attack. Nothing was -more despicable than to impute motives, said Mr. Macdonald. The resolution was carried. Some Interesting disclosures are expected when the correspondence is brought down. Letters from Dr. Muc*. kay ore said to .plead openly that he should be made president of the university. It was after 'he had been refused that position, it Is stated, that the attacks oh the government and the statement to the effect that the "curse of Gad rested on the province were made.' ♦ Taylor Made Flour Pride of Alberta Mother's Favorite Alberta Bakers These Brands Never Disappoint THE DAILY NEWS Kootenag and Boundary ».........*.....* PO SONING CASE IS HE 1$ CONTINUED Sam Hinfl. the Accused, Is Out on $4000 Bond Secured by Two Fellow Countrymen. (Special to The Dally News,) PKRNIB, 13. C, March 31.—After occupying two full days the Sam HIng poisoning case Was adjourned until April 12. The necessity for the adjournment was brought about by an objection being taken by the solicitor for the defense to Constable English giving evidence as to a certain statement made by the accused while confined In jail at Wardner. The matter was argued by counsel .for both sides at some length, but as both counsel made application to submit further arguments and as this evidence, the admissibility of which is dlspusted, is understood to have a very important bearing on the case, the court granted permission to have further arguments submitted and the adjournment as stated above followed. Sam Hlng, the accused, Is out on 'bail in the sum of $4000. The bondsmen are How Foon, Chinese merchant of this city, and Lee John, merchant of Cranbrook. James BlakemoTe and Charles Saunders, who are charged with holding up and robbing a Russian by the name of Tom Kuchnei* a few weeks ago, also appeared before the court and asked for speedy trials. These were set to be heard April 13 and the order for bail was renewed, namely two sureties of $1000 for eachi together with $2000 each on their own recognizance. Counsel in this case are S.

COLOGNE NOW CITY Of DREADFUL NIGHT Is Focus of All Rail Lines and Millions of Wounded Men Carried Through It. Tho continual reports of rioting in Cologne must nut be taken too seriously. This city is the focus of all tbe German railway lines in the west and tiio vast majority of the wounded pass through it. Its people must} have seen thousands of tr.iinloads, convey- 'ing at least 2.0110.000 wounded men .buck to the interior hospitals of Ger- ,'man.v. It is said that more than 150,000 wounded have gone through ^during the last 10 days from Verdune .alone. ' If these terrible sacrifies were followed, or likely to be followed by a decisive victory there would be some consolation, but there is no prospect of anything of this kind. Everything points to tbe conclusion that the end of their unparalleled effort will see the Germans almost exactly where they were at the beginning. The few relatively unimportant villages they have captured are oi^.io strategic importance and cannot be u.uoted, even in the German official reports, as a satisfactory set-off to the loss of a quarter of a million men in little more than a week. It is fortunate for Germany that all her cities cannot see the awful fruit of German militarism so clearly as Cologne. The unfortunate city sees ihe war passing through Its railway Stations and its streets like a. procession from pandemonium. Day and Wight the heavily loaded trains rumble through with1' their burden of broken and shattered humanity. j Is It any wonder that the ceaseless horror of it has got upon the nerves ol the people and finally driven them into a fury of rioting? It would be a matter of wonder If It did not. At the same time Cologne is favored above all Its neighbors In this respect. If the authorities could devise any method of'keeping the knowledge of tbe interminable tralnloads uf. wounded from the citizens it would do so. In all parts ot the country it is forbidden to compile aggregate casualty lists, or the making of estimates of total losses hut the wounded still have tu pass through Cologne in millions before their trains arc diverted tu the various lines of which the city is the marshaling point. The must dangerous factor in the situation is that ill news travels fast even when it is handicapped by the official censor. Not only that, but suppression Inevitably leads to exaggeration, and it may be taken fur granted that the terrible sights seen daily by the people of Cologne arc being spread all over the country, with something added every time the story is told. The prospect for Germany is not an enviable one. HAMBURG-AMERICAN CAPTAIN QUI2ZKD BY GRAND JURY NEW YORK, March 31.—Capt.

A. L. Bonny- castle today dismissed the charge of murder charge against Joseph II. Ka- chur. The prisoner was accused of murdering his second wife, Eudokia Ku- chur, aged 21, in her home near Kood- bridge, Man., a week aso. Suspicion felt on the accused, owing to some ambiguous words that the woman uttered before she died, and owing to the difficulty of explaining the death as a suicide or accident. The rifle which caused the woman's death was afterward found hanging on the wall in its accustomed place.

Two of the men suspected of being implicated in the robbery of Meagher & Co.'s and-other stores, were brought into the city last night in the custody of Sergt. Alex Stewart of the city police force, who also brought with him almost all of the goods stolen from the Nelson store. The men, who gave their names as Martin Graham and "John Doe," were arrested yesterday morning by United States Immigration Officer Clark Col Hns after having crossed the Interna' tlonal boundary and getting a^s far as Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who handed them over to Provincial Constable William Forrester of Creston, on whose advice the men were detained. After arresting the two men Collins brought them as far as Yakh and there turned them over to Forrester, who took them to Creston, where they were met by Sergt, Alex Stewart of Nelson, who took them in charge and brought them to the city, together with the three suit cases containing the stolen goods, which had been located in a hotel iri Cranbrook. It is believed that after the robbery at Meagher & Co.'s the men caught the 7 o'clock train which connects with the Crow boat at Proctor and went as far as Cranbrook. where they registered at one of the hotels under the names of J. E. Malloy and S. A. Rodgers. In the meantime the city and provincial police at 'Nelson had sent out notifications of the robbery find warnings to the police to be on the lookout for suspicious characters. It Is supposed that when Chief of Police Adams of Cranbrook began a search of the hotels the men took fright and decamped and proceeded to Creston, leaving their suit cases behind them. At Creston they were shadowed by Constable William Forrester of the provincial force, who wired to Nelson for further particulars. By this time a full description of the men had been obtained by Chief Thomas H. Long of the Nelson city police. This wag Immediately sent out broadcast, but In the meantime the men had left Creston, heading1 for Port Hill, Idiho, six miles to the south. Thives Ctross Border. Constable Forrester at once telephoned to Customs Inspector Young at Port Hill, giving a description of the men, .but theyjiad already crossed the line, apparently, heading for Bonners Ferry. Young notified Forrester that two men answering the description given had passed and United States Immigration Officer Clark Collins was notified at Eastport, Idaho. He at onco proceeded to Bonners Ferry and there arrested the men. The first notification received by the city police at Nelson of the prob- ablo whereabouts of the robbers come on Wednesday night, when a telegram was received from tho chief of police at Cranbrook stating that three suitcases containing silk had been found in a hotel there. Sergt. Alex Stewart, accompanied by W. J. Meagher, left at once for Cranbrook to identify the goods and continue the search. Arriving at Cranbrook Mr. Meagher easily recognized the silks as those which were stolen from the Nelson store, but the two suits and two dresses were not among the recovered articles. The man giving his name as Graham is over six feet in height, has brown hair and gray eyes and Is clean shaven. The other, who refused to give any other name than that of "John Doe," is five feet eight inches tall, has dark hair ,and brown eyes and is also clean shaven. 'While in Nelson the former passed under the name of John Mullen, under which name he registered at the hotel. The other man does not appear on the register at all. When arrested at Bonners Ferry both men protested that they had not been west of Creston, declaring that they had come from the prairies, where they had been working as farm hands. In the room occupied toy them at Cranbrook Sergt. Stewart found two silk dresses and four pieces of silk, which, it is believed, were the pro- ceds of a robbery at either Lethbridge or Tabor, Alta. When arrested the man giving Ids name as Graham had two unused tickets from Lethbridge to Calgary in his possseslon. It is believed that the men are responsible for a series of similar robberies in the east and across the line and that both of them have previous criminal records. They will he arraigned this morning before Police Magistrate William Irvine and formally charged. First Sunday Afternoon Entertainment Under Auspices of 225th \ Battalion in Armory .

Canadian Club Will Ask Friends to Furnish Pictures of Men From District for Public Memorial, Plans for perpetuating in concrete form the memory and records of the men who left from Nelson and district for overseas service, were formulated at a meeting of the executive commit tee of the: Canadian club yesterday afternoon. It was decided to ask the next of kin and friends of men from the city and district, who have gone on active service, to send photographs and par- tlculars of, the soldiers to tho city clerk's office In the city hall, in order that a roll of honor may be compiled containing ail the names and, If possible, pictures of the men who have been and are engaged in fighting for the Empire. It Was pointed out by M. B. Mc- Quarrle that for some time past a feel, ing has been abroad that some steps should be taken to keep a public record of the men who have fought and bled In the. struggle to preserve Britain's national honor. He urged that no time be lost In getting together every possible record of the soldiers, together, when possible, with pictures of the men, In order that a concrete memorial to each man might be kept for the present generation and for generations to come. Various plans were discussed and it was decided that a volume be prepared, modeled on the commercial loose leaf ledger,: in which could be placed the name and particulars of every man who went from the city and ■immediate vicinity, together with his photograph; The volume, when complete would be given a place in the Neison city hall, where every citizen would have access to It. A committee consisting of M. R. McQuarrie and Robb Sutherland,-was appointed to draw up plans for the volume, which, it was suggested, should be made in such a way that each page would contain from two to four men's names and records, with sufficient room.for the pictures being added. All Asked to Help. \ It was pointed out that many of the men who went from the city had lost their lives and that others, whose families still lived in 'the British Isles, if they came through would, in all probability, not return to this part of the country and therefore their names, although well known now, would be unknown to later generations. It was felt that every effort should now be made to have the records compiled', and all friends of the men will be A Few Specials Navel Oranges, sweet and juicy; per dozen, 25c, 35c and...-..500 California Grape Fruit, each... 10c Evaporated Peaches, per lb.. 10c Mixed Nuts, per pound 200 WE GIVE S PER CENT DISCOUNT FOR CASH.

Coming Monday, April 3—"THE LOST PARADISE"—Five Parts" urged to help tiie work by supplying pictures of the men. The probability that a large num ber of the pictures' would be either snapshots or of the souvenir postal card variety, was taken into consideration and It was felt that no matter in what form the pictures might be that they would still be valuable as records. It was therefore decided to ask all those having pictures lo donate to this cause, to inscribe clearly on the back the name in full of the man, the number of his regiment and if possible his official number, together with any particulars regarding his life in the community. It Is also planned to ask all friends of the men who are In communication with them to advise them of the plan that is to be carried out by the Ca- nadian'.club and to suggest to them that if it la possible, while on leave In England, to have their pictures taken singly—not in groups—If only on /die popular postcard and send them' to the city clerk. In this way, it was felt, a pretty full record might ua obtained. It is proposed by the club to have on the records the names of every man who enlisted, or went to the front from Nelson since war was declared and In order to facilitate the work of collecting them Robb Sutherland has placed at the disposal of the club the files and Index eard£ compiled by The Dally News, which contain the mimes and records of all the Nelson and district soldiers. The Nelson and District Women's Institute and the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire have also offered to assist the work by having one of their members on duty daily at the city hall to receive photographs, which will be placed In charge of Capt. b. c. McMorrls, secretary of the Canadian club. The club also has the assurance of Mayor J. J. Malone that the city will cooperate in every way possible, in providing a suitable place in the civic building for the housing of the records, where they may be at all times seen by the citizens. ; i iiiiniM : Social and Personal INSURANCE smji,.WMie'i'-?a»*i^*^**»'''ykF>'*'J'r''> -j...-- --i«^*^j»*>vvt^*«W(*-i»*-^»)««^v^*«s-<fwi(i.#/«>ifll(<f REAL ESTATE" FUEL HMtnimnimmitiix 1''.
