PRESS GALLERY, VICTORIA, B.C., May 7.—Ernest Miller* member for Grand Forks, last week called the attention of the legislature to two articles In the Vancouver Sun' which were "manufactured out of whole cloth" for tho political purposes of tho opposition. One story was an insinuation that ho had gone to Vancouver t Interview Peter Annance who Is before t'ho police court thero on a charge of personation and that ho had asked Ash worth Anderson, a Vancouver Liberal, to givo evidence 'before the committee Inquiring into tho alleged Liberal corrupt practises at the recent by- election, whilo the other article said lt was believe dthat Mr. Miller and John A. Sullivan of Vancouver were working together In securing evidence in the election frauds case. Both statements were "pure fabrications." He had never seen or spoken to Annance, or Anderson in his life and he had never spoken directly or indirectly to Sullivan. , The Introduction by Mr. Miller of this question of privilege drew from - •«?* M. A. Macdonald a warm protes against a suggestion he said had been mado in Vancouver papers that he ha( gono to Seattle for three days during tho Easter holidays with the object oi trying to block the Vancouver byelec tion inquiry. ■ THE RED GROSS AUCTION SALE.

"MY LADY'S SLIPPER" TO BE 8HOWN THURSDAY "My Lady's Slipper," tho V. U. S. E. feature de luxe, with- Earle Williams and Anita Stewart is a fascinating story of the eighteenth century. Francis Burnham, a young American naval officor lit the timo of King Louis XV of Franco, escapes .from the British convict ship. He is desirous of reaching Paris to see Benjamin Franklin, then his country's minister, tout upon bis arrival there, learns Franklin is away. He meets Buekna.ll, an old shipmate, and earns his everlasting gratitude by helping, him* out of financial difficulties. Later, strolling'-through Ihe suburbs of Paris, he has tbe good forflunc to rescue a beautiful Indiy from a highwayman, but does not learn her name. Meanwhile his restless nature gets him into gambling. Ho loses all and becomes indebted to a stranger, who proves to be tho Marquis do Tremi-j*?- nou. By threats and promises to wipe out his obligations, the marquis secures Burnham's aid in the, scheme he has In mind. He tells tho young American that he is in love with tho Countess'Do Vlllars, and she with him, but her grandfather objects, so the marquis plans to force his consent by securing some" article of wearing apparel from the countess and thus compromise her, „ Burnham is to be his agent. He does not thfnk very highly of his .lob, but when -the/marquis threatens him with Imprisonment, he consents. That night he enters the countess' apartments and succeeds in securing ope of her slippers'but is confronted a moment lator by tho lady herself. She proves to be tho lady he rescued f»*om the highwayman. Crushed and humiliated, Burnham tells hisstory and she believes him. He learns that she hates the marquis, that the rascal is really irying to force her into a marriage In this cowardly lash Ion. Before she goes she gives him her slipper to take to tho marquis, but instead ho keeps it and denounces that gentleman to his face, for which he is imprisoned. The slipper Burnham .intrusts to Bucknnllfor safekeeping, and the old seaman takes It to tho countess, telling her wluit has transpired. She helps Burnham to escapo frorn^ prison, but ho is1 captured by the marquis' soldiers before he can reach the border, \ The countess* influence, however, secures and audience with Queen Marie Aontoinctto, as a result of which the marquis Js humiliated, while Burnham Is freed, and marries the countess. For comedy tho Nestor rib-tlcklor, "When Father Was the Goat," will close tho bill. Victor Moore in "Snobs" at the Star- land Falls Heir to a Dukedom. * The distinguished comedy star, Victor Moore, Will be featured at the Star, land this evening in "Snobs," produced by the Lasky company. "Snobs" is an Inimitable satire on American high society, and is founded nn the play .of the same name which was written by George Bronson Howard and played for more than a year during its original engagement in New York. The role played by Mr. Moore is that of Charles Disney a milkman of no pretensions, who suddenly finds himself the sole heir to the title and vast estates of an English duke. He immediately gets an advance on his Inheritance'and proceeds to break into society in a thoroughly novel and extremely funny manner and soon finds that the very people who flatter him most loudly are ridiculing him behind his back and It is with difficulty that ho is restrained from giving up his new found position and riches. This convulsing comedy Is not without a I'omantice element %-Phlch solves the difficulties of the Monk." Anita, King, known froui coast to. coast as the Paramount "girl, lakes the part of the 'dook's" sweetheart. On Wednesday the eighth chapter of "Tho Goddess" will be shown with an additional program of new comedies apd dramas. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN IS HARD ON PROPS "Undo Tom's Cabin" is thp most dreaded play in. the entire category of drama so far as the property man is concerned. When it comes to gathering "props" for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" any property man would just ns soon join the Germans before Verdun. .. The property man is a peculiar individual. He Is unlike any other person working behind, the scenes in that he must have an unlimited supply of tho greatest of all. virtues—patience. Other virtues he need not have, but patience he most. .■;- ■ Boles of cotton, .countless decorations, suggestive-,-of the south, must be gaHhered from all pni'ts of the city for use in the play. Old time firearms, lashes usedjito .bent- the slaves. steamboatw'bistlesiitireplact.'s/cai'Ktli'- sticks, Bibles,: charhsWu'id kettles are among- the articles required; Every junk shop and second band store-in the city* must be ransacked and the- loading department stores must likewise be. invaded. Confederate money, plugs of tobacco, horse hair furniture, Colonial pictures, auctioneer's desk and gavek locks of hair (various shades) and , other items "too numerous to mention" are called" for. Getting the "props" for "Ubcle Tom's Cabin" Is only one of the big Insks connection with the preparation of the play, but It Is doubtful if there is any more difflcultnmlens It Is that or tho director himself, who, of course, must have an eye to all -corners of the job. * MINSTREL SHOW The Kootenay's.

HA2EL DAWN IN , LAUGHS AND THRILLS If you havo smiled unconsciously in response to tho irresistible smile of Hazel Pawn as she appeared before y<*m on the motion picture screen in former Famous Players productions, her next appearance in "My Lady Incog,'' which !**» to be the Paramount picture a tbe Starland, Saturday, May 13, will bo a revelation. As Nell Carroll in this thrilling comedy-drama, Miss Dawn does the best work of her motion picture career, far eclipsing apytbing that she has ever done. In addition to tho far-famed Dawn smile and the personality that has enchanted her audiences, Huvsel Dawn displays a snap and dash in her portrayal of the girl detective that is captivating and delightful. Nell Carroll is a southern girl of good birth and fine breeding, who suddenly discovers that* her ohl, home in mortgaged to the limit midJW'lIlbe.lost.if she cannot raise tho 'monoy to meet the- obligation;;. She has never been trained for any specific work, but finally obtains emnloyment in a detective agency. Several big robberies have been committed on the huge summer estates in one of tbe fashionable summer colonies and tbe agency is requested tn handle the case. It is evident, that it is an "Inside" job—'that Is, that someone In the household, either a servant or a Ktiest, Is doing the stealing. There, is only ono way to work against such people, and that is to fight them from tho inside. Accordingly, Nell Carroll is sent to the town whero she is heralded in tho papers as the Baroness Du Vassey. Mrs, De Veaux, whoso home seems the logical place for the next big haul, calls upon tho "baroness" and invites her to her houso, little suspecting that sho is a detective. In a very short time tbe girl finds strung evidence that point to Mrs. Do Veaux's own son, Toddy, as tbe thief. Despite the. fact that she Is becoming greatly interested in him, she decides lo do her duty and lays a trap for iilm. Meanwhile Reno Lldal, the real crook, becoming suspicious of tho au tlientlcity of Nell's title, decides to outface her, and presents himself at the De Veaux homo as the Baron Du Vassey Hoist by her own petrad! Nell does not know whether she has stumbled upon a real iiame in selecting the "baroness'" title or whether she is fae ing another Impostor. But, after : thrilling encounter with her "husband* and a wildly heetico midnight scebc in the Dovanx home, many unexplained mysteries are made very clear to tho amateur detective.

MONDAY* MAY 8, 1916. PORTUGAL CAN HELP IN EAST AFRICA Portugal has seized 70 German ships anc( sent them to sea to help fill the demand for ocean tonnage. The London Spectator points out that, in addition to this sen-ice to the entente cause, Portugal can do splendid work In Africa* by assisting in reducing German'East Africa. The entry of Portugal!into the war has come at a ' very opportune moment—just as General Smuts Is developing a largely conceived, and dashing movement to crush the resistance In the last colony Which belongs to Germany. German East Africa was already surrounded on nearly all sides by enemies when Portugal;received Jier summons. The one district where the colony was not cut,off from the outer world was tho border of Portuguese Nyasaland. If Portugal can hold the gate here, German East Africa will,indeed be a besieged land, and her end will be absolutely , certain.. COMPULSORY 3ERVICE IN GREAT BRITAIN -General compulsory service in Great Britain will shortly become an established fact. Premier Asqulth'a announcement Tuesday ' is ibeing followed . by the introduction of the necessary legislation. ■ The step Is not unexpected. The partial compulsory service plan made effective" some months ago to apply to single men was generally believed to be the forerunner of .similar measures upon a broader scope. ..rThere will be opposition. But probably lt will be more remarkable for its' noise*,than , for Its substance. The •government has the -btae unanswerable' argument—necessity. If necessity knows no law, it certainly recognizes no theories, however potent they may lie'tinder normal conditions. If Great Britain needs more men than it can secure by voluntary service it follows as a matter of course that some other system should be adopted. In Canada recruiting shows no signs of falling off, the numbers of men joining are increasing rather than decreasing, but if the necessity for compulsion should arise iu this country there are few who would accept the alternative of a German victory. EXTENDING THE INDUSTRIAL USE OF AIR The use of air tor cooling or heating and for cleaning purposes is being rapidly extended in industrial plants. In an interesting article in the Chicago Factory, II. F. Porter points out that a jet of water Is capable of cooling or cleaning, but its action is limited to materials which will not be injured by moisture, and it requires provisions for drainage. Air, on the other hand, will clean or cool a batch of dough or a chunk of steel with equal facility. A steam-jet, too, can accomplish many things by direct action, but who wants to work around one? Air is obviously in a class by itself, for such purposes. In at least one machine-shop, air-jets aro employed on cutting tools, in lieu of oil or "soda-water, to keep both tool and work cool. (Air, again, in a German factory, has been found to solve the problem of graduated hardening of steel. By carefully. spacing the nozles the degree of hardening may be graded | quite accurately. tFpr reaching dirt and dust In the I hidden recesses of machines and product, nothing equals a blast of air ttom, .. a well directed nozzle.

Use the German Ships. The more tonnage there is on the sea, the better for all the world except Germany. Nor are the allies likely to object if the Portuguese and Brazil- Ian example is followde In other directions, provided always that the German ships are requisitioned and that no payment for them Is mado to aid Germany in financing this war. The Dutch, indeed might act on the precedent set by Italy in the case of the Ancona and thus exact full satisfaction for the disgraceful conduct of the Germans In sinking the Tubantla which Is now declared to have ibeen sent to the bottom by a submarine in pursuance of tbe Tirpitz policy. There aro plenty ot ships In Dutch East Indian ports that could be seized.—London Dally Mail. "Empire Building." Men of all parties are agreed on the necessity of establishing closer relations between ourselves and the dominions. It is of the utmost importance that that great problem should he considered in an atmosphere free from bias and prejudice, not by "raging, tearing propagandas" .but by cool and deliberate calculation. Above all it is essential that neither on our side nor on the sldo of the dominions should thero be any tendency to dictate to the other side or take part in the controversies on "internal policy. The experience of this war makes it inevitable that there should be some reconstruction of the imperial relationship, but the work Is one of great delicacy. It cannot ibe rushe It certainly cannot be rushed by turning it into a tariff reform crusade.—London Dally News. GERMANY REQUIRES i iPRECIPE AT HOME I Col. Feyler, the Swiss military writer, says: "the German staff will not end the Verdun action until it has exhausted- all .ofi its resources -for gaining what may pass for success at home." That is,, the German staff Is reduced to the necessity of wasting armies merely for tho sake of prestige at home. The original blow at Verdun may have been meant to impress neutrals as well as the German people, but now the kaiser and his military advisers must, at all military cost, get something that looks like reasonable success. When the main object of employing military forces Is not first and chiefly military advantage, but the keeping up of a brave front .before tho people at home, the result is usually disastrous, it was so in the war of 1870-71 when tho armies of MeMobon were maneuvered under instructions from Napoleon, not for military safety or advantage, but for political effect upon the French people. Tho allies could not ask for fighting on better conditions for them than a continuance of the German stuffs sacrifice of huge armies for the sake of prestige, Germany will 'be strong enough upon the defensive in any case when once it Is forced there in tho plain view of the German masses. The wastage of hundreds of thousands before Verdun may not now 'bo unduly depressing upon German popular sentiment, because tbe general staff seems to be taking great care to conceal the extent of the losses, but intrinsically the effect is decidedly better, since the weakening Is the important thing, German psychological depression will come quickly enough when German forces are crumbling.— Toronto Mail and Umpire. COLD STORAGE Things to worry about: Thirty-two is the ideal age for marriage, according to a convention of eugenists. She—Hasn't Mrs. Dubblelgh beautiful ivory shoulders?

"Everyone who goes to Niagara," says a novelist, who has recently come to America, "'hears somo absurd, ridiculous and inept remarks there. You stand and gaze at the falls,, profoundly moved, and then, of a sudden, -something is said, and the effect of tho 'grandeur goes forever. "The day I first saw Niagara a man touched my arm as I looked up at those white waters. I turned to him. He had the smile of a confirmed joker. " 'It seems a shame,* he said, "to see all this going to waste.' ""What are you?' I said. "An elec- trlc.il engineer?' " 'No,' he answered, 'a milkman.'" They were speaking about. looking on the practical side of things and this incident was recalled: One afternoon late in the fall Uncle Josh was driving slowly toward the town when an acquaintance excitedly rushed out to tho road and hailed him. *'Say, .Tosh," ho exclaimed In a palpitating voice, "have ye heard tho news?" "No, don't kalkcrlato *T have," ; sponded Uncle .Tosh, sociably stopping his team. "What kind of news is it?" "Jim Smith committed suicide," an. swered the other. "Hung himself from a beam in the barn." "Is that so?" thoughtfully rejoined Undo Josh "Wonder if he*o #ot all his corn husked*?" » ... The kaiser sot out to destroy the Empire, but In the end he will only have rebuilt it on a deeper and a surer foundations—but a foundation with liberty still as Its keystone. In a century, perhaps In half a century we here at home shall have shrunk by comparison to a relatively minor element of the confederation. The very centre of tho English race may have shifted from us, must eventually be shifted from us. But if wo are equal to our heritage, ono glory will never pass from these Islands—the gjory of founding the greatest confederation of free peoples this earth has ever seen. —London Dall News. BRITISH SEA BUSINESS. It seems incredible that Great Britain is maintaining her productive power and is adding to her wealth in the midst of this war, as Sir George Paish claims, but the figures speak for themselves. The United States is paying toll to England for shipping facilities at the rate of fully $600,000,- 000 a year, and the total Increase In earnings of British shipping last year was in excess of $500,000,000 a year, more than half of which came from American importers and exporters. German commerce and shipping on the higti seas have been wiped out British ships are now carrying more than half of the world's overseas trade at shipping rates that nre making vessel owners rich beyond their wildest dreams. Great Britain receives more for carrying merchandise on the high seas than would pay the interest and provide a sinking fund to retire her total war debt as it stands today.—New York Commercial.

BATTLEFIELDS AS SHOW PLACES.; A sarcastic article in the Paris Mcr- cmure, proposing lo make of the battlefields one great snow place and thus to let the American tourist make good the losses of the war, is a reminder of of the flood of tourists "who streamed into Europe after Waterloo. The modern fashion of travel may almost be said to date from that event For 20 years the continent had been for tho most part sealed up by war, and before that, under tho old regime* only the privileged few made the grand tour. If now and then an impecunious youth did it, like Goldsmith, who journeyed on foot and paid his way with his flute, it was a great adventure. But after Waterloo Europe wub thrown open to a new generation of a new century, and a tide of travel began to roll in which has-increased steadily with the increase and diffusion of wealth, the improvement of communications and the spread of democracy. What It has done in a century for the diffusion of culture is Incalculable.— Springfield Republican. GILES NAMED. PRESS GALLERY, Victoria, May 7. —A. W.

C, May 7.—With the triple purpose of securing within the British Empire a supply of potash and iodine for imperial uses, of providing cheap fertilizer for the farmers of the province and of building up an industry which would result in the employment of largo numbers of men and the production of much wealth from one of British Columbia's natural resources which at present Is largely undeveloped, the provincial government is doing all in its power to encourage the upbuilding of the kejp-eutting and refining industry. A shortage of potash has resulted from the supply from Germany being cut off by the war. , Millions of tons of kelp, a form of seaweed which exists in great groves in the sea adjacent to tho British Columbia mainland and island coast, are available. Capital to establish the Industry is needed and for some time the government has beon endeavoring to induce moneyed men to go into the business. Since the Kelp Reduction Works act was passed last year and which, among other things, provided for reducing the license fee from $100 to $5 per annum, a company has established a factory at Sidney on Vancouver island and has met with sufficient success to cause It to decide to enlarge Its capacity from 12 to 60 tons per day. From the kelp is secured chiefly potash but thore are valuable byproducts in tho form of iodine, sodium salts and the dried desiccated weed, which can be used for filling mattresses and simitar purposes. Potash, in the form of potassium chlorate, is one of the essential ingredients of many forms of explosives. It is used largely by druggists and it one of tho most valuable of fertilizers, Hon. W. R. Ross has before tV.o legislature a bill which -jxtends for another year the inducements offered In the kelp works act to capitalists to establish works in this province*' -and both the minister and Michael Manson, member for Comox, spoke of the importance of building up this, new industry in British Columbia. H. C. Brewster also supported the measure. Parker Williams opposed the general principal of licensing industries on the ground that thoy tended to restrict competition. Mr. Brewster pointed 'out that ono advantage of building up the kelp reduction works industry would be to remove kelp from fishing grounds where it at present created havoc among fish traps. He personally had had the experience, he said, of having an $8000 fish trap made useless by kelp. Since the outbreak of the war the vnlno of potash has soared from $60 to $200 per ton. This is due to the fact that it Is only in Germany that large deposits of free potash are being worked. Iodine has also become scarce as a result of the supply from Germany having been shut off. If British Columbia can build up a kelp reduction industry It will be able to Insure the Empire against a potash or Iodine shortage. TRACTOR FLYER TO CARRY 12 PASSENGERS ANDERSON, Ind.—A local manufac uring concern announces the completion of a 300-horsepower trl-plane flying machine, which is designed to carry 12 passengers, and to travel at a maximum speed of fl8 miles an hour. Tho aeroplane is lo be known as the "transcontinental tractor type ." Its three planes cacn measure 67 feet from tip to tip. The two upper planes extend over the passenger compartment. The ISO-horsepower Sturdevnnt motors drive the nine-foot propellers. Cylindrical houses each equipped with a sea for one man will inclose each mo tor, and there will be one attendant to each motor during flight. The cabin for passengers and pillt is in the con ter. It is semicircular in shape and contains windows. Three hundred and fifty gallons of gasoline can be car rled.

VISITS TO PRISONERS' CAMPS IN GERMANY LONDON, England—The American ambassador in London has forwarded to Sir Edward Grey reports by Ellis Lorlng Drcsel on the detention camps at Ingelstadt, Bayreuth, Burnberg, Kronach, Wurzburg, Hammelbui-r, Landau. At all these camps and lazarets, except Wurzb'urg (where on acT count of unlimited time it was not practicable,) tbe visits were made entirely without previous announcement, and in each case ample opportunity was given to speak with the prisoners In private. Regarding Ingelstadt, Mr. Dresel says: The conditions nt fort No. 9 do not appear to be as satisfactory as in No. 8. There ds some evicj-jnee of dampness, the walls of one of the rooms, where part of the officers live, showing occasional patches of moisture and the sound of dripping water was in places audible. Tho vaulted halls from which the rooms open are dark and cold, and the whole atmosphere Is somewhat depressing. The ■officers cook, eat, wash and sleep in the same rooms. Following the visit to these forts, representations were made personally at Munich to the Bavarian war ministry, and Mr. Drcsel says the officers spoken with at the ministry of war expressed themselves as entirely (willing to meet any reasonable requests mad6 by the American embassy, on the ground that information had been received of excellent treatment of prisoners In England. Reporting on his visit to the prisoners' detention camp at Nurnberg, Mr. Dresel says, of.the 3300 prisoners now detained here, out of a total capacity of 4000, 46 are British. Tho conditions were found to bo still good. Sergeant Tate, tho ranking non-commissioned officer who occupies a separato ■ room with five senior French non-commissioned officers, and who by his attitude and efforts for betterment is setting a fino examplo to the men, reported tho relations with tho camp authorities as excellent, and tho cxlstenco of only a few minor grounds of complaint. Al.Hdmmelburg, Mr. Dresel says, the camp Is situated somo 2500 feet above sea level, about two miles from the village of the same name, in the picturesque valley of thp Saale, some 20 miles from Kissinger), with which, however, it is not connected by rail, The camp inelosure Is situated on sloping ground at the northerly and highest extremity of a largo military reservation extending several miles in both directions, and affords a wide and striking view of the surrounding country. The air is mountalneous and bracing. The camp buildings consist of the usual type of wooden huts, constructed since the war, each built to contain 300 men. At present under 2000 are quartered there, iwlth an average of 160 to each hut. The organization is in seven companies, noramlly of 500 men each, but there are no fences or divisions as in some camps, between the different companies. The 72 British on the rolls of tho camp, most of whom have only been detained there slnco last autumn, sleep all together in one of the barracks.. The ventilation wos good, and there was somo complaint of cold at times, though there are stoves in each barrack. The commandant promised that attention would be given to this. The bathing quarters are modern, clean and well arranged, with 25 showers, a weekly bath being compulsory. The canteen post office and package arrangement appeared satisfactory, but apparantly the packages received, due probably to the recent date of the transfer of the greater part of the British there, were not so numerous as In most camps. For presumably the same reason the clothing and shoes of some of the prisoners were not entirely satisfactory. The Landau camp was visited for the first time on Feb. 27, 1916. Landau, a town of some 17,000 Inhabitants in the Bavarian Palatinate, lies in a vino- growing and agricultural ^ country, where somo manufacturing is also carried on. Tho camp is situated on the outskirts of the town on rising ground, whenco a good view of the Hardt and Vosges mountains is obtained. Tha camp contains 12 barracks of the usual wooden construction, about 200 feet hy 30 feet arranged in parallel rows, and each built to contain 250 men. At present, only 1400 prisoners, divided into six companies, and including nine British non-commissioned officers and 16 privates, are detained there. As a whole the camp made a very favorable impression and the relations between the military authorities and prisoners aro good. As ;at Hammel- burg, which it resembles in many particulars, a difficulty is tho need of a sufficient exercising ground. Urgent repersentations as to this tack were made to the commandant, Lieutenant- Colonel Krauter, who promised that attention would be given to the matter. Some other requests of a minor nature were granted at once by the commandant, who laid stress on' the faqt that every prisoner was allowed at all tlmcH to come to him personally with complaints, and who appears to show real interest In improving gen- oral conditions. PITIFUL PLIGHT OF BELGIANS GIVEN IN REPORT No document or report ever given to the public Is more replete with heart-rending- details and pictures of misery and privation than tho statement of conditions existing in. Belgium as given by Mr. F. G. Walcott, who investigated the conditions in the martyrod country on behalf of the Rockefeller Foundation. Mr. Walcott, tells of tho scant meals which the Belgian Relief Commission has; been forced to hand out to these Belgians who face starvation and he describes the efficient manner in which the committee has made its meagre supplies bring the most results. .Tho regular dally ration for those heroic women, wives of equally heroic soldiers—some of them widows—and their emaciated, weeping children, consists now of three slices of bread and one pint of soup. More would be given if possible but that more must come from the generosity of Americans, Canadians and others who can help. Many of tho relief depots are able to accomodate only '50 people at a time and Ion-? quoues stand outside the stations nearly all the time. Thei**e are seven millions of people in Belgium to bo fed and three millions of them are destitute, and of these some aro obliged to stand in line for three and four hours daily to obtain this meagre ration. "Almost one half of the population of Belgium," says Mr. Walcott, "which has been deprived of all industry by the invading army, have been reduced to this existence of dally waiting in line for a starvation ration," In the hour of prosperity that is Canada's the Belgian Relief Committee of 59 St. Peter Street, Montreal, is appealing to Canadians to relievo these terrible conditions. The committee feels that these Canadians who are not at the front or not assisting the Allies in somo way will at least give their bit toward keeping from starvation tho women and children of the brave men who are fighting our battles In Europe. Contributions aro received also In Nolson at the Dally News office. WILL INTRODUCE MEAT CARDS IN BAVARIA MUNICH, Gormany—According to a recent announcement in the Bavarian Diet by Baron von Soden, minister of the interior, the authorities are about to introduce meat cards in Bavaria. The innovation, the minister declared, was not dictated by necessity, but was merely designed to guarantee their holding out with the stocks available. At the present time, he said, Bavaria was exporting three times as much meat and cattle ,as before the war, but thanks to official supervision that had been instituted the rearing of cattle had not been unduly impaired. Fortunately Bavaria had not, like the rest of -Germany, joined in the wholesale reduction of the stock of pigs, but herds of cattle, on the other hand, had been greatly reduced. Meanwhile the instltutiou of "meatless days" had done Uttlo to solve the difficulty, and there were mony obstacles in the way of exereislng compulsion over households, as official supervision was well nigh impossible. It therefore appeared preferable,' from the social, ns well as from every other point of view to introduce a system of rationing -Meat cards however, would not, like the bread cards, entitle the holder to the quantity specified, ns it would not be possible to ascertain so exactly In the case of grain the total quantity of meat available. Tho minister remarked in conclusion that a distribution of meat throughout the empire, on as uniform a basis as possible, was doslrable, and stated that the various federal states had largely been consulted with that end in view. GERMAN FOOD PRICES. BERLIN.—In consequence of the rise in tho price of raw materials required for the manufacture of margarine and edible fats, an order has been issued raising the wholesale price of margarine to 1.83 marks a pound and that of edible fats to 2.15 marks a pound. The retail price is fixed at 2 marks and 2.32 marks respectively. In Berlin recently the maximum price of potatoes was fixed at 6:5 pfennigs a pound.

ROBSON, B.C., May 7.—An Interesting paper on "The Marketing of Small Fruits' was-contributed 'by A. F..Mitchell at the regular monthly meeting of the Robson Farmers' institute Thursday evening. Tho speaker pointed out that thero were three ways of soiling fruit, through the unions, to private In-, dividual**, and to -jam factories. In many cases there was a wide range of prices received through these three mediums. An advantage to tho shipper was more often to be had by shipping to Individuals but this was a most limited means as comparatively few ranchers were able to find their own markets. Statistics compiled for 11)15 showed that [bettor prices prevailed last year through the unions, so that this medium of disposing of th.e fruit crop was fast becoming tbo leading one. Reference was made to the advantages to be derived from selling through the Okanagan United Growers, as many communities wero at present doing. Mr. Mitchell's paper opened up a wide field for discussion, which proved tq be a most profitable one to those present. The matter of fruit (boxes, and orates | also received considerable attention. Communications had been received from a number of manufacturers (-noting prices and R. W. Tllarms of Rcnatu, was present In tho interests of his concern there. It was pointed out that there was a difference in tho size of boxes, which proved most unsatisfactory where a community made up a car among themselves. Boxes should bo of standard size and uniform in order to properly facilitate the loading of a car. A communication was received from the department of agriculture 'drawing the attention of the -Institute members to the new regulation on the distribution of bulletins. Heretofore the distribution of bulletins had been general throughout the province to all Institute members, but in many cases ranchers were not interested along some of the lines and economy would in future be practised by having institute secretaries 'forward the names of members desiring copies of bulletins. It was decided to charge an entry fee of $1 in each class to all members entering the field crop competitions for 1916 Tho monthly meeting of tlhe Junior Robson Farmers* instittito was held Thursday afternoon' Rao Berry gave an -Interesting talk on pig raising, giving the competitors for this year's pljfj raising contest many valuable pointers on the care and feeding of young pigs.

(3048) AW EMS OPPOSE CLAIMS FOR SUBMARINE International Legal Experts Favor Restricting New Agencies of War to Established Bounds WASHINGTON, D. <G.—Submarine warfare upon commerce waa de nounced by an array of prominent speakers recently before the American Society of International Law, conctud ing: program of addresses on questions relating to the European war. Most of the speakers earnestly favored re strciting the use of submarines and other new war agencies to established legal bounds rather than extension of the international code to Include such employment. Prof. Raleigh C. Miner of the University of Virginia said modification would be a "backward step toward pristine conditions of barbarism," and defended arming of merchantmen, Everett P. Wheeler of New York de. dared that "we want something in the future more powerful than mere scraps of paper—an international court with international police power capable of enforcing its decrecs." Prof, Jesse S. Reeves of the Univer sity of'Michigan criticized the admlnis tratlon for change of front regarding armed merchantmen, "Visit and search Is a right due all merchantman," he said. "Unfortunately the United States In It* note last July said submarines apparently could operate In exercise of that-duty, although previously this government had Insisted they could not ibe used as com. merce destroyer*?. "Another most unfortunate admission was nl the armed merchantmen memorandum published a few days ago, that submarines need not visit and search if the object Is known to 'be enemy property." "Can you expect a nation, fighting for Its very existence to have the submarine And not use it?" he asked. He proposed classification of -vessels and cargoes and prohibiting women and children from traveling on vessels car. rylng war munitions. Jij, Prof. Theodore Ion of ~Boatbh University observed that no boll lucre nt had the right to complalji if a blonde Is effective or not and defended'the munitions traffic as legal. Capt. W. L, Rodgers, United States navy, told the society that German submarines had succeeded In challenging the supremacy of tho British navy CHILDREN OT NOTED SHOT RESIDENTS HERE Late Christopher Johnston Won World Fame by Winning Kolapore Cup and Othor Trophies The achievements of Christopher Johnston, "who *t one time was a talked about figure throughout all -the British possessions are recalled In a recent article In the St. John Stan- dard. It is interesting to note that two of his five children are now residents of this district They are Mrs. C. D. MoNab of Waldo and William Johnston of Fernie. The other children are J. B. Johnston of McAdam, N.B.; H. C. Johnston of /Seattle and Mrs. Arthur Ihmn of Alberta. The article from the Standard follows: "The Paths of Glory loud but to tha Grave." - To the traveler who passing through McAdam, pauses a moment to read the inscription on a massive tombstorte in Rockland Cemetery—if he knows the history of him who rests beneath —the above line of Grey's immortal elegy will take a new meaning. Sleeping his last sleep beneath the sod in this quit and comparatively obscure spot, lies one whose name a few decades ago, was for a time on the lips of thousands throughout the British Empire, and who for a season, was a national figure in Canada, Christopher Johnston, the winner of the Kolapore Cup In 1873. There is always a tendency to forget that the present Is but an outgrowth of the past. The Canadian soldier at the front has distinguished himself as one of the -best fighters of any time. He possesses not only courage, but cool headedness and infinite resource. That these qualities Bhould Ijo displayed by men who had no military training worth speaking of, and whose lives were saturated with traditions of peace, rather than of war, seems to have caused much wonder. Yet, if we turn hack the page of history, and read it as it actually was thirty or forty years ago, we can find ample reason why our soldiers should be the men they are. Was/ Good Listener The first'time the writer of this sketch saw the late Lieut. Johnston, was oh Sunday, April 26, 1914. On thait occasion, and quite frequently till the time of his death, Mr. Johnston and the writer were in conversation, but never could he get the famous shot to talk much of hlB work on the rifle range. He was modest to a degree, and though he enjoyed hearing of the work of others on the range, or in the field, he seldom talked of what he had done. In appearance, Mr. Johnston was somewhat ibent, from a long standing ailment, but his complexion might have been that of a boy of ten, so clear was bis skin. His massive shoulders gave the impression of great strength. In his young days he was a man of enormous strength, with a grip like that of a vise. His hair was as white as snow, and had been so for years. The number of medals and prizes won, by, Mr. Johnston is not known, hut they wero numerous. Among the first of the list he Is known to have been presented with, is a large silver medal, and a silver pitcher. There is no inscription on the pitcher, and therefore no means of discovering what event It commemorates. In the same year ho received a. stiver medal inscribed, "Sapper C. Johnston, N. B. Engineers." At a rifle competition held by the St. John .Rifle Club, he won a large sliver cup, inscribed, "From Lieut.-Col. Thurger to Ensign C. Johnston, St, John Rifle Competition, 1869." In the same year he was the winner of a silver tea service, not inscribed, but the gift of Charlotte County. Though he continued to win medals and priacs, those won during the next year or so are so scatered among his children throughout the country that it Is impossible to locate them all. In 1871, however, he won a silver cup In a York County exhibition. This was presented by "Quartermaster F. H. Hogg to Ensign C. Johnston." In 1873, Ensign Johnston again came Into porminence iby winning a silver medal In the competition staged by the Provincial Rifle association. In tho same year, for excellence of work In the Dominion Rifle Competition, he was presented by the Governor-General, the Earl of Dufferln, with a picture of himself and the Countess. The Kolapore Cup The culminating event in Mr. Johnston's career as a rifle shot, came In 1873, with the winning of the Kolapore Cup. This was a prize given by the Rajah of Kolapore, for the best shot in the British possessions at 200, 400 and 600 yards. After a number of eliminating tests in which representatives from every quarter of the globe took part, Ensign Johnston, as he then was, stood up to represent Canada; literally stood up, for the contestants did not use the prone position, and with that remarkable coolness of head and stead. ines.s of nerve that always characterized him, won the day for the land of his birth. The rifle used In this contest was a Snlder-Enfield, 54 calibre, and is now In the possession of Mr. J. B. Johnston of McAdam, a son of the winner. Small wonder, tough men who are prominent In various walks of life should at that time of Mr. Johnston's death, send messages of affection for the deceased, and sympathy with his family. In a letter to the writer, Col. T. G. Loggle stated that though he had often competed against Mr. Johnston on the range, he in a prone position,, and the famous shot shooting offhand, he could never make a better target. The following telegram from the present Minister of Militia speaks for Itself: "To J. B. Johnston, McAdam, N. B. —Regret exceedingly to hear from the Hon. Mr. Hazen of the death of your father, and our old friend and fellow-rifleman, Christopher Johnston. Please accept my deepest sympathy in this hour of your sorrow," (Signed) Sam Hughes. In 1874 Ensign Johnston became Lieut. Johnston with a commission In No 5 Co., 71st York Battalion of Infantry. The prizes and medals won lafter this date are scattered far and twldo, and not easily traced. One Instance of his methods on the range may be of Interest. In a com- jetltion held at Hampton, year not I known, he won when the other com- potitors failed to find tho target. Thorp m.. "M liil'iir , ]A*mm-d<. J.

One of the others tried, and could not find the target. Mr. Johnston took note of the direction of the wind, and judged Its velocity. He then aimed not at the target, but at a tree quite distant from the target. Tho first shot netted him an Inner, and the rest of his shots found a lodging in the bull's eye. lt was this quick wit, and keen judgment that made him, as he was, the terror of competitors on the range. Here he rests in tho quiet spot through which he walked many times in the days of his pilgrimage; rests with every sign of devoted attendance above him, a well kept plot, and a massive tombstone, as If to indicate that there Is long before he will be forgotten. Yet such deeds as his should not be left in the cold care of granite or marble to remember, they should be enshrined on the living memory of those to whom he brought honor, and should be passed by them to their children for sacred keeping. DOLLAR MEANS LIFE TO THE BELGIANS Belgian Relief Committee Continues Its Appel for Food for Destitute MONTREAL, May 7—While England, th© States and Canada have done much In the way of contributions to the relief work that is being conducted among the destitute people of Belgium a report from Mr. Herbert Hoover, the head of the commission in charge of relief, shows that approximately 50 per cent of the relief given has come from Belgians and Belgian Institutions abroad. This is conclusive evidence that these Belgians who can are assuming their share In the burden of caring for the needy in their devastated country. With this In mind the Belgian Relief Committee of Montreal has assumed that Canadians are willing to bear with their allies a part of the care of the wives and chitdren of those noble men who so heroically sacrificed all in the first days of August, 1014. From the committee rooms, 50 St. Peter Street, a new call has gone out. Belgium Is again on the verge of starvation. The committee asks Canadian men and women to do something- some little thing—that will mean so much to these people, whose comfortable home are now but meagre shelters and whoso plentiful tables havo become bare. The dally sustenance of nearly seven million of these women and children Is three slices of bread and a pint o: soup and now conditions threaten to even reduce that. Canada Is asked to help, asked to save the lives of these peoplo, who will otherwise die of starvation. A dollar sent to the Belgian Relief Committoc, 60 St. Peter Street, Montreal, goes a long way when spent by this organization in Belgium. A dollar may mean a life—tho life of some little tot whose father Is fighting our battles "somewhere In France."

Robert Fay for the purpose of destroying at sea munition ships leaving this port was illustrated by a government ordinance expert in the federal court at the trial of Fay and his alleged conspirators, Walter Scholz and Paul Daeche. James E. Moore, In charge of the guns at Ft. Wadsworth, testified that he had tested the contrivance with explosives and found that it worked perfectly. The machinery, contained in a metal box three teet long, was explained In detail by Moore. The bomb was exhibited on a table In the centre of the courtroom. Moore declared the bomb was so constructed that it could be set to explode as desired. James ,T. Coy. a New York detective, testified that he saw Fay and Scholz leave their home In. Woehawken with a suit case which ho said waa full of high explosives. Coy also dotallcd the arrest of the alleged plotters in the New Jersey woods while in the act of testing tho oxploslves which were to havo boon placed iu tho bomb. We notice in a recent issue of a daily paper an interesting interview with the secretary of a board of trade of a southern Alberta city, who had just re. turned from a "tour of inspection" of the district. This gentleman cheerfully informs an expectant public that the nearest estimate he Is able to make of the yield of tho forthcoming wheat crop is 45 bushels per acre! This, lt should be noted, is at tho beginning of April and before seeding has even commenced. Whether this amateur estimator Is the seventh son of a seventh son and, therefore, gifted with prophetic foresight, or whether he Is only a plain lunatic, is not explained in the telegraphic despatch. The dally j paper in question thought it worth while, apparently to pay telegraph tolls on this message. This Is the earliest appearance of the fool crop estimator we have yet observed In a month or six weeks from \ now, bo will, however, be quite frequently In evidence and along In June or July, he Is In his full glory, traveling through the country In Pullman cars and shooting off his mouth at every station—Farm and Rranch Review.
