The Adamson bill, as passed in the ■ nouse by a vote of 239 to 56 with ,rtinor amendments, is the same measure which the brotherhood leaders IWicially declared yesterday would ■Constitute a "satisfactory settlement" l^.ind prevent the strike. Briefly, the Adamson hill provides i .hat eight hours shall be deemed a ■Say's work and the standard for reek- laming compensation of railroad em- jililOyees operating trains in interstate P'ommeree after Jan. 1, 1917, and that « commission of three appointed by 'resident Wilson shall investigate the ■ffects of the eight-hour standard jSrohvsix to nine months and then report to congress, present wages not io he reduced during the investigation :>r for 30 days thereafter, and overtime to be paid at a pro rata rate. Vote Overwhelming It was after a day of hot debate that )ho house passed the bill under a special rule brought In when the Re- ftjublican leader objected to its consideration. -Less.thun half nfHhe Republicans followed their 'floor leader n the opposition and when the,final jyote came 70 of them lined up with he majority, while only 56 voted jigalhst the measure. Just two Demo- prats, Representative Steele (Pa.) and ptack (Tex.), stood out against the i|)iU. Representative London (N. Y>), ahe only Socialist, voted for it. [t- Red tape was eliminated as far as jyosslble to rush the measure over to 'ihe senate, which, after several hours iB£>f lively discussion over a, bill re- Kjuorted by the interstate commerce Commission, had recessed until 8 [■j'clock.

At the outset of the night session enator Newlands sought and.pptaln- id unanimous consent to put aside,the nenato bjll and take up the one^ent liver from the, house, thereby pavliig |ihc way for quick action without parliamentary formalities that otherwise :ould not be done. Question in Senate Then Senator Underwood brought i.ip the issue over, which the senate is ■Divided "by proposing as an amendment the rate fixing provision of the discarded senate bill. _J Over this amendment debate waged [for three hours, Senators Newlands lind Underwood advocating it and ji'Senator' Cummins making a long " ipeech criticizing the whole proceeding. Most of the senators had little J.o * say and in the cloakrooms there ;iwere Btrong Intimations that the reason for this was the general conviction that in. the end the house bit* Jwould go through without change. For awhile there was talk of an all- I'.'.nlght session, but early, in the even- J&ng word was passed that an agree- I'ynent to adjourn and vote at a certain hour tomorrow would come before the discussion had gone far. Alt through the morning President {Wilson was, at this office at the capltol lonferring with administration lead- jers and aiding in arrangements for ^putting' the legislation through.

M, Johnson, Liberal candidate, conveyed the impression that drunkenness was general among the soldiers who voted at Bonnington Falls on Tuesday. Hiq definite statement, however, was less sweeping. He said three Nelson men of the 1-5 soldiers who voted, were Intoxicated, Many of the soldiers in the district on leave who voted at Bonnington would have been deprived of their franchise if they had not been able to cast their ballots there, of these Mr. Johnson declared that he could see no reason why they should have voted. He thought the balloting at the camps, was sufficient provision for them. The burden of the Liberal candidate's declaration was that the soldiers'had sold their votes for drinks Jle Bald he hud been told that Dr. Rose had stated that he, Mr. Johnson! had given money for drinks to two Liberal soldiers who were working for Mr. Johnson. He denied this and said that he had given no money to any sol dier and asked Dr. Rose to withdraw the statement, Dr. Rose took the platform and explained that he had seen no intoxicated men at the polls. Regarding the statement that he had seen Mr. Johnson give* money for drinks to two soldiers who supported, the Liberalfcan- didate, Dr. Rose said that throe or fhur soldiers came out on the train. Thoy were'escorted to tlie depot' by strong supporters of Mr. Johnson. Dr. Rose said he* saw them come up to Mr. Johnson at Bonnington and, speak to him. Mr. Johnson put one hand in a pocket, pulled something out, gave it to one of the men, who in turn put It in his pocket and started off toward Slocan Junction hotel. Mr. Johnson yesterday morning had told him, said Dr. Rose, that he did not give the soldier any money and he was therefore willing to accept this statement. Mr. Johnson's Explanation. Mr, Johnson explained to the audience that he was in the habit of standing with his hands in his pockets and asked Dr. Rose for a further withdrawal of the statement. Dr. Rose replied that if Mr. Johnson said that he did not give the soldiers any money he would withdraw the statement. Mr. Johnson opened the discussion on this point at the commencement of his speech and said that up to this time he had conducted a clean campaign and refrained from personalities. He claimed It was not fair for soldiers on leave to vote nt Bonnington and said it was a sample of "machine" methods of the government. He said there was no earthly reason why the men on leave should'have voted there. iHte said that one of the men on guard duty who voted was drunk and that another man said he wanted to vote for Dr. Rose and he also was drunk. He declared that one Fernie soldier not more than 14 years of age had voted. He did not say that this soldier was drunk. At 4:30 o'clock, he said, three Nelson boys came in and were all drunk. Mr. Johnson said that he had heard there were 24 bottles of beer In one automobile and three bottles of whisky and that he had been informed some soldiers were drunk before they left Nelson. Johnson Talks of "Vile Language" He completely exonerated Dr. Rose or his agent, M. R. McQuarrie of any blame and said that as far as tlie luncheon at the hotel was concerned he had agreed with Dr. Rose that the cost should be split between the two parties. Returning to the three Nelson boys he said they were not only drunk but were using "vile language." Mr. Johnson said that he felt so sick about it that he was unable to eat any dinner that night. He then read a telegram he had sent out to announce to the public generally that the soldiers were drunk and again declared it was an example of "machine" work. Mr. Johnson declared that if 'the men were drunk and voted for Dr, Rose that candidate got the benefit, He next referred to Dr. Rose's statement to the effect that he.

LONDON, Sept. 1.—The Express has a Geneva despatch that aays Prince von Bulow's threats at Rome that if Italy declared war, Germany would pass through Switzerland and take Milan, are having their effect, as the Italians are entrenching and fortifying along the Swiss frontier, i The Journal adds that the Swiss are , ready to protect their neutrality. SEPARATE PEACE To Cut Loose from Empire, Is Rome Report STATED KAROLYI IS FOSTERING PLAN Prussian Statesmen Said to Be Responsible For Move (By Daily News Leased Wire.) ROME, Sept. 1.—An. event of supreme importance, far transcending the intervention of Rumania and the prospective entry of Greece upon the war, is awaited now by the chancellories of the countries of the allies. This Is the so-called coup d'etat by Plungary. The formal separation of this king dom from the Austrian empire Is affirmed in authoritative circles in Italy, where relations with Hungary of an informal kind have, during the last few weeks, been quite close, to be now Inevitable and of Imminent oc currence. It was only able diplomatic work on the part of the Austrian statesmen which prevented a. break before now. Seek Separate Peace The vitally interesting fact in this connection is that Hungary is expected at once to make separate peace. Another extraordinary feature of the event which is being watched for is the fact that the chief burden of re sponsiblllty for it will be placed on the shoulders of the statesmen of Prussia. Prussia, the Tribuna says, is likely bitterly to repent the treacherous deed which it has committed against Austria in supporting the leaders of the separatist movement of Hungary. But in taking this action the Rome newspaper adds, Prussia was guided My dictates, of t^-great general sl;a£f which;'in Its bewilderment over the dangers which face it ou all sides, and over the lack of success of all its military efforts was induced to throw itself into the arms of the strong Hungarian leaders. The latter recently made several trips to Berlin and threatened and bulldozed the Prussian .war, chiefs until they adopted a course which desperation seemed to them to make necessary, Plan Completed It is expected that the powerful party led by Count Karoli already has completed all the necessary measures for the cutting loose from the Austrian empire. When the hour for the coup d'etat arrives, it first will be accomplished and then application will be made in the Hungarian parliament for Its formal legalization. The step taken will be a formal demand that Hungary take charge of its own defenses. With Russian, military forces in the Carpathians and with Rumanian troops over the border in Transylvania, the Hungarian constitution will be invoked in behalf of the action decided upon, namely, the recall 'of all the Hungarian honveds into Hungarian territory and under the direct command of Hungarian military chiefs. GERMANY IS B TIER OVER RUMANAS ACT Uses Harsh Language in Semi-Official Reply to Declaration of War on Austria. BERLIN, Sept. 1—Via Sayville—"For more than 30 years Rumania was assured of safety, the respect of all Europe and political and material progress by ita alliance with Austria and Germany' says a semi-official reply to the Rumanian declaration of war against Austria published in Austrian and Hungarian newspapers. Alliances are made not only for the sunny days of peace, but also for the dark days when war threatens. Rumania enjoyed the benefits of Its alliance In times of peace and now betrays Its allies in time of war, says the statement. The Rumanian government,, the reply says, had no grounds for Its assertion thnt, although until recently it believed Austria's statement that no territorial gains were planned by Austria in declaring war against Servia, Austria's assurances have not been realized. Regarding the Rumanian charge that Rumanians in Austria-Hungary have been oppressed, the reply says: "Rumanian statesmen ought to care for their own rural population which is a miserable body of illiterate serfs. Only five years ago a desperate revolution on the part of these unfortunate Rumanian peasants was suppressed In streams of blood." VERDUN HAS NOW COST GERMANY 500,000 MEN PARIS, Sept. 1.—-Competent authorities estimate that about 500,- 000 Germans have been disabled in the Verdun region alone since Feb. 21, the beginning of the great German offensive there. The' total number of wounded German prisoners taken, in the Verdun sector and in the- neighborhood of Somme exceeds 45,000. TNE ABDICATES THRONE; ALLIED FLEET ARRIVES AT PIRAEUS RALPH SMITH IS WISE IN REFUSING TO TIE UP TO LIBERAL PLUGGERBUND Rlaph Smith, one of the Vancouver Liberal candidates, Is more honest than H. C. Brewster Jn his attitude toward the Liberal plugging at Vancouver. Instead of parroting Mr. Brewster's ridiculous claims that the Conservatives in order to hurt M. A. Macdonald employed pluggers to elect him, Mr. Smith simply says that he personally had no gulltyltnowl- edge that the Liberal organization was engaged in the plugging scheme. He does not attempt to deny that there was plugging. He does not deny that the Liberal organization was guilty of it. He will not go further than to say that he personally was not involved. Mr. Smith made this clear at Merritt last week. He took the same attitude on the witness stand at Victoria. Unlike Mr. Brewster he had the courage to refuse to associate himself with, the Liberal plugging. When the facts that have been proved and not denied by any Liberal witness are considered, Mr. Smith's wisdom in keeping his own skirts clenn will be recognized. It Is not denied that the pluggers voted for Macdonald; it Is not denied that they were hired and paid by the provincial Liberal organization staff; it. is not denied that the Liberal organization staff was employed and paid by the "provincial Liberal organization committee" of wbich M. A. Macdonald was chairman and J. W, DeB. Farrls an active member. Macdonald himself, on his own admission, recommended John T. Scott for chief of the organization. It is not denied that Liberal workers hired and paid for rooms to accommodate the pluggers. It is not denied that these workers paid the pluggers. It is not denied that Liberal workers hired and traveled in automobiles that carried the pluggers to the different polling booths to vote from two to eight times apiece for M. A. Macdonald in the names of absentees. It Is not denied that In addition to the pluggers brought from Seattle hundreds were picked up in the Vancouver waterfront district and that one Liberal worker alone paid out ?900 to Vancouver pluggers. It Is a matter ,of record that with less people in Vancouver than in 1912 about 5000 more votes were cast in 1016 than four years before. It is not denied that 5000 cards containing printed instructions to vote for Macdonald were printed, filled in with the names of absentee voters and distributed by Liberal workers to the pluggers. It is not denied that Liberal workers prepared lists of absentees to be voted by pluggers. Neither is it denied that Liberal organization workers faked scrutineers' lists so that honest Liberals, like Ash worth Anderson, would not have the pluggers challenged. Anderson himself has told of these lists. It Is not denied that Liberal agents worked their way into the Conservative committee rooms and succeeded In faking Conservative lists In the same way, so that Conservative scrutineers would not know that the Liberals were plugging in the names of ab-sentees. Such wellknown Liberals as Ralph Smith, Ann worth Anderson and D. E. McTaggart have admitted in sworn evidence that they detected irregularities In their own ranks and the evidence was further corroborated by such independent witnesses as policemen, rooming house keepers, an Immigration inspector, a restaurant proprietor, steamer, telegraph and telephone officials and automobile drivers. . Mr. Smith Is not only more honest In his attitude toward the Liberal plugging organization than his leader, Mr. Brewster, but he is wiser. In the minds of thinking men who have studied all the evidence Mr. Brewster has only condemned himself, by weakly tying up to the pluggerbund and trying to brazen the matter out. If the Liberal leader had cut loose from the pluggerbund machine and set ,his face, sternly against crookedness within his own ranks he would he In a stronger position than he holds today, Have Seized Series of Heights ir Carpathians and Are Making Progress Westward. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 1.—Russian troops have begun another advance and Petrograd reports fighting near Vladimir- Volynski in Volhynia and in the region of Hallcz in Galicia.

A withdrawal of the Austro-German lines north of the Zlota Lipa-Dnlester section is recorded in Berlin. Progress by tlie Russians west of Tarnopol is admitted, but Russian attacks In the Carpathians and near Lutsk were re pulsed, Berlin says. Petrograd Report.

LONDON, Sept. 1.—Thf} Germans report the reocoupatlon of lost ground near Longueval and Delville wood, on the Somme front in Northern Prance, The British war office admits a Ger- advance but says the attackers suffered severe losses. On the rest of the front in France there has been little activity. British Statement.

"Besides being met everywhere with rifle fire the Germans came under concentrated fire at various places from trench mortars and massed machine guns, while at several places our artillery obtained excellent targets. ''There was great aerial activity yesterday and many combats with the enemy. Five of his machines were destroyed and at least seven others were driven down damaged. We undertook several bombing expeditions which were successful. Five of our aeroplanes were lost.'" Parts Statement, PARIS, Sept. 1.—The war office announcement issued tonight says: "Exept for a brisk artillery duel on the Somme front and In the Fleury sector, nothing of importance occurred fedurlng the day. Threo aeroplanes were [felled during the afternoon by our antiaircraft guns. Two fell on the right bank of the Olse and a third near Dou au Mont. "About 3 o'clock this afternoon an enemy aeroplane dropped two bombs on Geromagny." ADVANCING ITALIANS OCCUPY TELPELENI (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Believed Nation Must Cast Lot With Allies REPORT OF SALONIKI REVOLT IS CONFIRMED London Eagerly Awaiting Outcome of Events in. Greece LONDON, Sept. 1.—An unofficial report states that King Constantino of Greece has abdicated and has been succeeded by Crown Pfince M.nder the tutelage of former, premier Venizelos and others who are friendly to the allies. It is stated a committee representing interests of the allies is administering Greek military affairs. A revolution has broken out in Macedonia, Fleet at Piraeus. ATHENS, Sept. 1.—An entente allied fleet of 23 warships and seven transports have arrived of Piraeus. Reoort Confirmed. LONDON, Sept. 1.—The British foreign office announced tonight that it had received official confirmation of the reported Greek revolt at Saloniki. The foreign office* however, says it has heard nothing of the reported abdication of King Constantine of Greece. London Awaits News. LONDON, Sept. 1,—Following two days of silence in telegraphic communication from Athens, during which sensational rumors of a revolution, gained, currency which later were conf firmed by tlie. British foreign office, comes the startling news of the arrival of an entente allied fleet with transports at Piraeus and that the general Greek elections likely will be postponed for two weeks. . The brevity of the despatches seem to Indicate that something unsual is happening and the development o£ events is awaited with the greatest curiosity here. In view of the changed situation, says a Reuter despatch from Athena miller Friday's date, it is probable that tlie Greek elections will be postponed for two weeks. The election had been arranged for Oct. S. The entente allied fleet, this despatch adds, has arrived from Saloniki. Most of the vessels, are at Salamis, while others are at Piraeus and Phaleron. From the fragmentary despatches which have reached London, It is de- duced by some observers that changes of a decisive character already have taken place in Athens and that the defacto government of Greece has decided to abandon neutrality and arrange itself on the side of the entente allies. Other experts lake a more conservative view. The Times editorially attaches small importance to Wednesday's revolutionary movement at Saloniki, declaring that this is completely overshadowed by the news of the appearance of entente allied warships off Piraeus. "This must be taken to indicate," says the Times, "that the allies aro wearied of tlie equivocations which have so long prevailed In Athens and are resolved to battle the intrigues of their enemies." The Chronicle discusses what it terms the great difficulties which former Premier Venizelos must encounter in an endeavor to guide Greece. The Chronicle says: "The Greek army is anything but ready for action. First, because it has just been demobilized; and, second, because the personnel of its higher command and a large portion of Its officers are In the melting pot, having heretofore been led by staffs largely composed of pro-German officers. Tho whole army now is in a pretty serious state of demoralization. The case of the nation is similar." The Chronicle discusses the rumors of, King Constantino's; abdication and similar reports of political changes in Athens as "quite unfounded" and only of interest as showing Salonika's' frame of mind. The Times, more guardedly, says: "It would be rash in the extreme to accept these reports without official confirmation—some of them may be regarded mainly as shrewd guesses of the future." QUESTION OF REPRISALS IS ANSWERED BY BRITAIN (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 1.—In answer to a communication from the international Red Cross the text of which Is made public simultaneously with the British answer, the foreign office states its position on the question of reprisals. The Red Cross had urged against the adoption of reprisal on prisoners of war. The government answers by referring to "outrages which have put such a strain ou the patient British people as to raise the question of reprisals. The reply concluded: "This government will readdlly respond to the appeal being confident that the neutral powers and the International committee will recognize that the demand for reprisals grows In volume and urgency with the reeurranee of abuses and that the surest means of avoiding reprisals is the abandonment of the policy Inspiring them." ^^—-^—^—~ PAGE TWO THE #AILY NEWS SATURDAY, =a«!l»T. ,*ft* IMft "I LEADING HOTELS OF THE WES T\ Where tho Traveling Publio May Find Superior Accommodations, [ THE HUME A la Carte Table d'Hote GEORGE BENWELL, Prop.

BOX 201 LAYS CORNERSTONE tfjpuor (Continued from Page One.) lay the .snme foundation stone that was laid at that time. "When I look nt that stone and think of what it represents, of the changes that have taken place, we can think how little the fathers of confederation could look forward to tlie advancement that has taken place in the Dominion of Canada. This stone, which I have known personally since 1809, will, I hope, go on for centuries to come to bo the cornerstone of this great dominion." The duke said many things had happened since the stone was laid, many speeches had heen made in these buildings and many slatesmen had been heard speaking for right and for liberty and for the advantage of the Dominion of Canada. Reviews History. Speaking of tho beginning of the war, lie asked where was Canada on that occasion. And Canada, he said, was with Often! Britain in the fight fop] justice, liberty and humanity. Canada responded at once to the call of'duty. Canadians must be proud of the fact that 3r>0,000 troops had volunteered. "We have reason to be proud," he said, "o? the manner in which our Canadian boys have distinguished themselves in many a hard-fought action. They have been fighting side by side with men from every portion of the Empire." Tiie duke said it was a proud position for himself to have been associated with this great country and this government, and the memory of It would ever be cherished by him in the days to come. "Let us hope," he said, "that In thn new parliament buildings in wlilch many speeches will be made by many distinguished men of the future, that they will be all for tbe good and the advancement of Canada, for the Integrity of the British Empire and for loyalty to King and country." After .addressing tbe audience the duke applied the plumb hob triangle to the stone, gave the stone three strokes \Vith tbe mallet and declared it well and truly lnid. Premier Speaks. Sir Robert Borden snld he esteemed' II not only a privilege but .his duty; to say a few words oil this occasion on which the memories of more than half a century were renewed in the presence of great associations. Mr, Rogers had alluded to the fact that the cornerstone of the building, partially destroyed by fire, had heen laid by King Edward, the peacemaker, of happy and glorious memory, and said: "We in this country have the right to congratulate ourselves upon the auspicious circumstances of the presence of his brother in Canada and his willingness to participate In this ceremony. "His royal highness lias served with distinction In many positions of public usefulness, but on none of these occasions has lie given more splendid service than during the few years he lias, been in Canada, and especially during the last two years." Sir Robert said that if the announcement of the departure of the DuKe of Connaught had been made before the prorogation of parliament, the opportunity would have heen taken by parliament to place on record formally its appreciation of his services, but he would m»w convey "the deep appreciation of the people of Canada, apd tin? government of Canada for splendid services rendered tn the Empire and the Dominion by him and his most effective cooperation in the great responsibilities that have devolved upon the people of Canada during the last two years." Purpose Realized. The prime rninistex-.refcrred to the courage and foresight of the fathers of confederation who had conceived a great dominion, a great nation which would include not only four but all of the great provinces of the northern half of this continent. Their conception bad been realized. He reminded his hearers of the material advance and prosperity of Canada, its foreign trade'nnd revenue and its constitutional growth in relation to the whole empire. , He concluded by saying that there had been nothing more inspiring than the flocking to the colors of those regiments from the provinces, more particularly, perhaps, tbe western provinces, which the duke had reviewed on parliament hill, and concluded: "We are in the midst of the greatest war In the history of the world. We are conscious of all its honors and lhe sacrifices It has entailed, hut we may, nevertheless, discern the dawn of a still greater future and the assured fulfilment of a glorious destiny." K GIVEN WINING Minister Asserts Consequences Will Follow Interruptions of Recruiting Meetings. (By Dally News Leased Wire> MONTREAL, Sept. 1.—'Plain warning wiis given by Hon. C. J. Doherty, minister Of justice, at a recrultint meeting for the Duchess of Connaught's own Irish-Canadian rangers in Dominion square here tonight, that if there should be a repetition of the recent organized interruption at recruiting meetings ln Mont reft] severe punishment would be imposed on the trouble-makers. The minister, referring to the riot of a few days ago In Place d*Armes square, where some French-speaking citizens broke up the recruiting meeting, said: "I want to say to my fellow citizens of Montreal that It was with amazement almost amounting to incredulity that the government of this country learned that it had been possible for anyone to imgalne or suggest, that thsre was any place In this c(ty or this* Dominion In which a recruiting meeting could not be held." After declaring that the work of recruiting "is the holiest and the most important work of the people of Canada." and that it waa a soldier's sacred duty to get recruits, the minister said: "It is the law of this country that no man may interfere with, impede or disturb soldiers in the performance of their duty. Let that be understood and let it be understood that, the man who tries to so interfere with them will do It at his own peril and that he will not have many moments given him before he realizes what that peril moans.

Have you tried one lately? l;J;;^ Hon, Thomas Taylor, during his eight years of office of minister of public works, bus established for himself a record that any public man in Canada might be,proud of. It Is a record of bard work anil achievement, and a record that has withstood the criticism of the bitterest and most unscrlipujous opposition that any government in a Canadian province has had to face. Since he became minister of public works hi liiOS Hon. Thomas Taylotr has been responsible for tbe expenditure of approximately $35,000,000 on undertakings fur the development of the province. Thousands of miles of roads and trails, thousands of bridges, hundreds of public buildings have been constructed since the member for Revelstoke, and the present Conservative candidate1 In that constituency, was given the public Works port- ■ folio. Ranchers, miners and lumbermen throughout British Columbia have had their properties opened up and been given an opportunity to produce as a result of the transportation facilities that the government has provided through the department of which Torn Taylor Is the head. Liberal Bluff Called ■When the Liberals in this province began*their, campaign of slander some years ago it was not to be expected that the. absence, of evidence,to substantiate'their charges would'make the! minister of public works immune, any more than it made Hon: W.: .i.M;.uw^e£, f>r any utljer cabinet minister immune from charges of corruption and wrongdoing. Slander after slander was burled at Tom Taylor. According to the opposition, corruption had been rampant ami all that was necessary to prove it was for some Liberal member,* to be elected to the legislature. "Then we will show you that what we say is true," .said the Liberals. Well, they were elected lo the legislature —two of them, 11. C. Brewster in Victoria and Af, A. Macdonald In Vancouver. They did not have to ask for an investigation. They had not been in the house a week before Premier Bowser called for a showdown. And the public found that the Liberals had been bluffing, it found, when the premier threw the door to inquiry wide open, that instead of possessing evidenco upon which to base their charges of corruption, they were not prepared to bring forward a single witness to substantiate their charges. Their hand was of about as much value as a "busted straight." They had been bluffing very loudly but they did riot have the cards, which in this case was the evidence.' Premier Bowser went farther in his desire that tlie opposition should have every opportunity lo make good its charges than lie need have done. Under the rules of the house the public accounts committee had the power to investigate the public accounts for the preceding year only. But the premier threw open the accounts to inquiry for the 13 years that the Conservative government had been in power. The rules of the house were suspended to enable the opposition to delve as deeply as they pleased Into the public affairs of this province under Conservative administration. Disproved Their Allegations This period of 13 years included the eight years during which Tom* Taylor was minister o'f public works. The Liberal investigators, who soon showed that they had no evidence to produce in support of their charges of corruption, went on a fishing expedition. They were giver) great piles of files and letters from the government offices; they were given opportunity to call and cross-examine, any witness they could think of naming. But they only succeeded in disproving their allegations. Hon. Thomas Taylor was shown not only to have conducted his department with the integrity that anyone who knows him would have expected but he was, proved to have gone out of his way to protect the people's money. Take the -'case of.the parliament buildings contract and the mutter of the plumbing and heating contract. In this case a Victoria firm had the contract for plumbing and heating work. It was reported to Air. Taylor that $10,000 worth of work that had been put in was not up to specifications. What did Tom Taylor do? He ordered ItHorn out. The contractors demurred. They tried to compromise. They brought to bear on the minister all tho pressure that they could secure to support their case, It would have been easy for a .weaker man than Tom Taylor, or for n dishonest man, to have allowed the work to reihaln, It would have been covered up. Years might have elapsed before anyone but the government and the contractors had known that the work was faulty. But Tom Taylor is not built that way. He Insisted on the wprk being done In accordance with the specifications. The contractors again demurred. They again used all the influence they possessed to compromise.' Air. Taylor waited no longer. He ordered that the contractors begin to tear out tbe faulty work within 24 hours and to replace it properly and that if they still demurred that the contract should be given to someone else. The contractors lore out the work at a heavy loss to themselves and .the province got full value for Its money. That is how Tom Taylor docs business for the people of British Columbia. The Subcontracts Then there was the case of subcontracts for the parliament buildings. Air. Taylor was viplently attacked by the Liberals because they said that the subcontracts had, been let lo tbe highest tenderers. Now, ih the first place, the contractor pays the subcontractors. - If he had let the work to the highest tenderer it would have cost the province no more. That was the contractor's husiness and if.be had thought that the highest tenderer would dO the work to the contractor's best advantage he was quite at liberty to give such tenderer tlie work. He paid the bill, and not the province, But the subcontracts, according to custom, bad to receive the approval of the minister of public works. It was proved in tlie first place that the Liberal charge that the subcontracts were awarded to the highest tenderers was untrue. And It was shown, In the next place, that In every case the contractor, W. S. McDonald, before letting a subcontract had written to the mini.ster of public works saying that he desired that such and such a firm do such and such work and .that this particular firm was the lowest tenderer. The contractor under oath substantiated this. Thus did other charges against Tom Taylor fade away as they were Investigated. It was the same With every other charge brought against the department, of public works, and, for> that matter, with every charge of corruption brought against the government. Tom Taylor's reputation Instead of being blackened, as the Liberals hoped, by investigations, was cleared of any .stain that the opposition had endeavored to place on it. No Harder Worker l Then, "just a word about Mr. Taylor-personally. Tom Taylor Is an unassuming individual but there Is no harder worker in the country. Newspapermen In the press gallery last session discovered - that. They found Tom Taylor on deck from early in the morning until late at night. No matter whether tiie house was in session or not, Tom Taylor was certain,to be in his office, working for the public of the province and his own constituents a great deal harder and more faithfully than most men work for themselves. And, In lhe^,legislature, Tom Taylor wus always on deck when any question concerning? 'the.! public wonts "departments came * u'p f6r discussion. Questions by the dozen were fired at him by the opposition. His replies 'showed that he know the WusiTiess of tiie public works department- from A .to Z, from Alpha to Omega*. He knew what this road, or that publio building, or that bridge had cost. He knew why it had-been hullt.-.-He know the resources a road -or bridge -would develop, the ranchers or miners or lumbermen it would assist. s Tom Taylor as minister of public works is very much on the job, The Fall Suits GRACEFUL, TOUCHES OF PAS1-IION STltONGLY MARK OtiB NEW SUITS ' THEY AH13 CREATING FOR THEMSELVES A STRONG REMAND CALL AND INSPECT OUR LADIES' COATS, DRESSES, SWEATER 8ETS ' OUR STORK IS FAIRLY TEKMING '• WITH NEW GOODS AWAITING YOUR APPROVAL Smillie LADIES' WEAR SPECIALISTS spot, any who by Interruption or otherwise seek to disturb the carrying on of uich meetings."

Market Has "Alternate Periods of Strength and Weakness Due to Aspects of Rail Situation. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Alternate periods of strength and weakness attended today's irregular market, the feverish movement deriving its impulse almost wholly fi-am the changing aspect of the railway situation. Prices were almost universally strong at the outset, but stocks were freely supplied on the advance and profit taking soon wiped out most of the gains. During the Intermediate stage the list again was elevated on the advance of Mercantile preferred, inspiration Copper and K^v.'-Springfield Tire to new records. l*.ft Marine preferred' touched 106% with 58 ft for Inspiration, and 81% for Kelly Springfield. These quotation? were shaded in the final hour, when weakness in the mo ,tor group, notably ' Studebaker and Willys-Overland unsettled the entire list, the market closing with a heavy tone. v. ■' Ralls were.watched with unusual in terest because of .their direct relation to impending conditions. Reading, St. Paul," the Harrimans and some eastern trunk lines yielded at every sug gestlon of pressure, their initial advances being later substituted by losses of 1 to 2 points.

C FEAR OF HITCH AF CAPITAL HITS WHEAT Uncertainty Over Settlement of Rail Trouble Put Grain Prices on Toboggan. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) CHICAiGO, 111., Sept. 1—Nervousness on the part of many traders that some hitch in congress would prevent a settlement of the railway strike turned the wheat market downgrade today. Largely in consequence the close was unsettled, 1% to 2%c lower, with September at $1.40% and December $1.44. Oats closed Vt to % lower and provisions closed from 45c lower to 7VjC higher. Depression regarding the pos slhle capsize of the strike settlement did not become a dominating factor in the wheat market until about midday. Previous to that time the sentiment of the market was that action in congress would be of such nature that the strike would be called off. Accordingly buyers of wheat were decidedly active and prices made a rapid upturn. It was not long, however, before the tenor of despatches from Washington assumed a less rosy aspect, until finally inferences were drawn that after all a big chance existed of the strike settlement being wrecked. General selling followed with bearish sentiment emphasized by disturbing reports from the Balkans, especially announcements that the king of Greece had resigned office and that Greece would fight on the side of the allies. Word that a lar^ge export trade has been done at the seaboard helped the wheat market to recover a little just at the close. There were also late advices that nortfli western mills were heavy buyers of cash wheat in the southwest at the best premiums of the season. ReturnB- continued extremely bullish as to yields in the spring wheat states and In Canada. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of other cereals. The fact, however that deliveries on September contracts were less heavy than expected made the September options relatively firm.

(By Daily News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, Sept. 1.—Severe criticism of tbe course taken by the crown in the ex-ministers' trial was expressed iby A. J. Andrews today in the continuation of his address to the jury on behalf of the three accused. Mr. Andrews was extremely sarcastic over tho crown's confidence iu Horwood, former provincial architect, and the payment to Horwood of $4 a day. "Are you going to believe," he a.sked, "that there has been no drilling of witnesses in this ca.se? The crown has been paying Horwood $4 a day as a reward for his conduct and lie haa had nothing to do for a year but to prepare his story ahd visit crown counsel. I venture to say that never before in any case bas the crown dealt so with witnesses. Such unheard of conduct has no parallel in the history of British justice. Is there anxiety to secure a conviction? My learned friends can find no other case where a successful government has used its powers of office to prosecute its defeated opponents—unless we go back to the time of Titus Oates and the popish plots. In fact, Titus Oates and Horwood arc much alike; they have the same earmarks." Mr. Andrews was severe on Horwood throughout the afternoon. Ho spoke of the "coterie of paid witnesses," Horwood, Salt and ViUeroy, and said Don't SCOUR Your Teeth USB a tooth paste that cleans and polishes in a natural way—get Mennen's.

Vllleroy had been paid about $10 a, word for the evidence be gave. Horwood, be said, was "a. confessed perjurer, a confessed thief, a man who haw confessed to forging documents and to all sorts of crimes." Counsel spoke of the onerous duties of the public works department. Two ministers bad died as the result of their work there, "unless," he added, "my learned friends claim the credit of Dr. Montague's deatli as the result of this prosecution." Defcn.se counsel pointed to alleged contradictions of Horwood's evidence. He declared that the appointment of Horwood as supervisor of the buildings was justified because Horwood was a. trusted official of tbe government and relied upon to protect tha province. "There are not in Manitoba," he went on, "threo more vitally interested in protecting the province than the accused. We are not defending Kelly or Kelly's claims. No men ara more anxious than the accused to make him do what is right." Mr. Andrews maintained that Horwood had "one of the earmarks of a liar" in his inability to fix definitely on dates, On the unsupported testimony of Horwood they were asked to believe that Dr .Simpson and Mr. Coldwell had told him of a campaign fund that was to be taken from tho building. He drew attention to Hor- wood'n poor memory over the caisson tender letter of Kelly's. This letter was "another secret between Horwood. and Kelly," since Horwood told tho minister nothing about it. etl said ho deduced that "Horwood lies when he says he does not know when he got Ibis letter." Mr. Andrews did not conclude his summing up anil is expected to continue for most of Saturday. INFANTILE PARALYSIS KILLS MANY IN PENNSYLVANIA (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

A. M. JOHNSON'S INSINUATIONS AGAINST SOLDIERS A desire to create grounds for attacking the government was no excuse for the charges of drunkenness A. M. Johnson last night made against soldiers who voted at Bonnington Falls. Ths offense of the Liberal candidate is made the worse hy the fact that he suggested .that they had sold their votes for drinks. |t is further aggravated by the admission that he had sent out a telegram to an outside newspaper which would publish far and wide Mr. Johnson's allegations of drunkenness against the soldiers. His statement that there was. no reason why soldiers on leave should have voted at Bonnington is typical of the Liberal attitude toward the soldiers' votes. There were many men who voted at Bonnington who Would have been on their way back to camp •n Sept. 14 and therefore could not have voted in cdmp or here. There were many others who would have been in the district but who were not on the voters' list and therefore could not have exercised their franchise unless they voted at Bonnington. The Liberal idea seems to be that because the great majority of the soldiers are supporting the Conservatives they should be prevented as far as possible from exercising the franchise the government act gives them. .The Daily News had a higher opinion of Mr. Johnson than to anticipate tactics of this kind from him. THIS IS LIBERAL LEADERS' VIEWPOINT EXACTLY ■ When A. M. Johnson said last night tlfht he did not care about the plugging and that the audience, did., not care, that the real issue was to defeat the government, he probably expressed the Liberal leaders' point of view very well. But he was hardly complimentary to his audience. Thero ore many in Fairview who will not vote for the Liberal party because it i.s controlled by the Liberal pluggerbund. ti The statement that the plugging did not matter—that the chief question at htsue was the defeat of the government is exactly the Liberal leaders' position. That was what the Liberal organization in Vancouver believed last February. Any weapon was good enough to use against the government. What did it matter if a seat were stolen and the electors of 'the riding deprived by Seattle waterfront denizens of their rights to say who should represent them? them that they develop their land. He says this is a joker in the act. Mr. Johnson should read the act and the regulations under the act. He would then see that he is mistaken. Money can only be loaned for the legitimate development of farm properties. .WHAT THE PRESS 18 SAYING, THE REPORTED ABDICATION OF KING CONSTANTINE. . Confirmation of the report that king Constantlne of Greece has abdicated is lacking but it is probably near the truth. •King Constsintine's policy since the war began has never been In accord ,\yith the general sentiment of tbe Qreek people. It has been pro-German. The great majority of the people are pro-entente. They helieve that Greece can only realize its aspirations by joining the entente armies against the Turks and Bulgarians, .The effect of a revolution In Greece would be to consolidate all the Balkan countries, with the exception of Bulgaria, agulnst the Teutons and their allies. Its moral effect would be second only to the entry of Rumania to. the struggle. The Greece appears to be in the fire. The war situation has never looked better for the entente allies. Victory is ln sight. The enemies of the British Empire and its allies are In the first stage of dissolution. Liberals who attack the government's land policy are flogging a dead Issue. The whole problem has been solved by the government bill to provide free land for returned soldiers and cheap money to develop it. It is difficult to understand how Hungary can break away from Austria during the war. The soldiers and Interests of the two countries of the dual monarchy are too closely Interwoven. But revolutionary movements In Hungary are likely to be one of the factors in bringing the war to a close. A. M. Johnson, Liberal candidate, says that the agricultural credits act enables the government to loan money to speculators without requiring of City Council Met Under Fire. The municipal council of martyred Verdun bas met for the first time In Paris at the temporary offices of the ministry of the interior. Until recently the members of the council had met under shell fire in Verdun. Henceforth and until the ruined town is safe again, tbe municipal business of Verdun will be transacted in Paris. The municipality will calmly consider the estimates from 191;"), the mayor's and tax collectors' accounts, and the salvage of property at Verdun.—Daily Telegraph, London. Two Years After. Two years ago today the "contemptible little British army" of 160,000 men began its tragically-glorious retreat from Mons. That army In 24 months has grown to 5,000,000 men and It is today methodically blasting the Huns from France. It is but literal truth to say that no notion In history has risen to a terrible emergency in more heroic, efficient fashion than Britain has In the past two "years.—Vancouver World. As to Patronage. Mr. Walters, the Liberal candidate for Yale, is strong in denunciation of "patronage," and calls loudly for "independent commissions" ftir civil service and many other thing.s/^boes he know that only /three Canadian publio men have ever dared to openly defend the spoils system—A. G. Blair, W. S. Fielding and A. S. Hardy, all Liberal premiers?—and that that system attained Its most perfect flower In Vancouver under "Bob" Kelly and In the Yukon under the very gang which is inspiring, directing and financing the Liberal campaign of which Mr. Walters is but a small incident? We are not surprised at Mr. Walter's lack of knowledge, but we are painfully surprised that the lone considered choice of the Libernls of Yale is so utterly lacking in sincerity.—West Yale Review. The Writ. Mr. Brewster and his -friends are trying to forget that unhappy writ. This device to stop the credit of the province, to close up all financial and industrial activities, and bring all business to a dead stop has not yet obtained the sanction of the courts. Therefore the business of the province goes on. and now Mr. Brewster tries to talk about something else.—Vancouver News-Advertiser. JAPANESE ADMIRALTY ISSUES STATEMENT Policy of Empire in East Outlined in Statement of Activity of Navy (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 2.—A six-column article prepared by the Japanese admiralty, giving a summary of the activities of the Japanese navy in the present war, appears In the Times this morning. The summary Is prefaced by this statement: "The national policy of the Japanese empire has always been the maintenance of pence In the east. That policy has never undergone any change and never will. When the action nf Germany compelled our ally. Great Britain, to declare war, the incessant movements of German warships In eastern seas became a serious menace to the International trade of Japan. The peace of the Far East was at that moment In the greatest possible danger. Japan first approached Germany with moderate advice. On the refusal of the latter Japan found itself unavoidably involved in tbe war." KEEP AL EN ENEM or ES May Not Land Under Guise of Neutrals Is Provision of New Measure of Government. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Sept. 1.—A regulation for tbe prevention of persons of enemy nationality landing in Canada under the guise of neutrals, has been adopted by the government. It provides thnt no alien master or member of a crew of vessels arriving at Canadian ports shall be permitted to land on Canadian soil unless he can satisfactorily establish that he is not of enemy nationality by the production of a passport satisfactorily establishing his nationality or identity. The regu iation will not prevent members of the crews of American fishing vessels from landing at Canadian ports for any purpose for which they are by treaty or the fishery laws entitled to land. GOVERNMENT PLANS FOR GREAT NATIONAL HIGHWAY (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Ont., Sept. 1.—That the federal government already has plans far advanced for the construction of a transcontinental memorial highway modeled after the Lincoln highway of the United States, was the word brought to London by Mayor Hugh A, Stevenson, following a conference with Hon.

FINDS LONG WILL CARRY KASLO RIDING Conservatives to Win Two Seats to Everyone Carried by Liberals, Says N. F- Mackay. "Bob Long Is going to win in Kaslo. The Conservatives fn the province as a whole will win at least two seats for every one carried by the opposition." . This is the opinion of Nell F. Mackay of Victoria, former member for Kaslo, who was at the Strathcona last night after a tour through the older sections of the Kaslo riding in company with R. J. Long, tbe Conservative cnndldate. Mr. Mackay found that the government's constructive policy was every day drawing greater support to the Conservative candidates. He predicts tbe election of the solid six Conservatives in Vancouver and stated that the Liberals had lost their air of confidence which they at one time maintained. THE WEATHER. Min.

Perhaps it may better be designated a new bit of slang. "I must Wilsonize," s its form. Its interpretation is: "I must think It over." It expresses first of all hesitancy, indecision, a desire to postpone, to delay, to temporize. The man to whom a proposition is presented and who snys, "I must Wilsonize on that," conveys an intimation that he is unready, taken by surprise, distrustful of immediate decision, suspicious of possible dangers, anxious to peek around all the corners before giving even a' vague reply, and averse to committing himself for fear of consequences, it is a phrase popular with the evasive, the undecided, the vacillating individual. The root of this phrase is in full view. The course of the president of the United States has loft an impression in the public mind abroad—especially in London, be it noted—of unreadiness and lack of decision which is given conorete, crystallized form in this phrase": "I'must Wilsonize." Some will think it a bit unkind of fortune to create such a label in Britain for Wilson the Unready, but It must be stamped on American consciousness that in this phrase is a world's contemptuous judgment of an unfortunate public man, and the explanation of a world attitude toward the great nation whose chief executive's evasions have made such a phrase possible and Just.—rDetroit Free Press. COAL FOR SWITZERLAND. In ordinary times it would seem absurd to supply Italy and Switzerland with coal from France; but, in view of the high freight rates to Italian ports and the possibilit yof a supports and the possibility of a stop- land, a Swiss trade paper suggests that it may be done now. The French coalfields not in enemy occupation, in the south and centre of France, which furnish about 30 per cent of the total output in peace time, would be appropriated exclusively to the supply of these countries, and France would make up the whole of her deficiencies by importation from England and Wales. The Swiss federal railway administration would ensure that the coat should pass without delay by Geneva and the Slmplon tunnel, and would be paid the railway rates in coal. The Swiss government would monopolize the supply in its own country, as-it has already monopolized the supply of cereals, and would distribute the coal to the railways and other. consumers according to the quantity available for their needs. Thus Germany would find her menace to stop the Swiss supply ineffective. Tho chief difficulties in the way are the congested state of the French railways and tbe shortage of wagons, but It is thought that these may be overcome.—Westminster Gazette. "Hey, .Timmie! Dfd you hear the news. The schoolhouse burned down last night." "Ain't that just our luck? Of course it bad to happen in vacation." RUSSIAN ESTIMATE DENIED BERLIN, Germany.—The Berliner Tageblntt's war correspondent on the Austro-Hungarian eastern front ridiculed the official Busslan estimate of the number of prisoners taken by General Brussiloff since June 4, namely, 266,000. This, he wrote, would make almost as many as those taken last year by General Mackensen during the spring offensive. The correctness of the figure is contradicted by a recent statement issued by the Austro-Hungarian command. According to this, the figure quoted In the Russian report would he almost equal to the entire fighting otrength of all the Austro-Hungarian forces engaged in serious fighting on the eastern front, The length of the entire Aus tro-Hungarian eastern front is 350 kilometers, 150 of which remain unchanged and without losses in the shape of prisoners. Thus there remains only 200 kilometers on which the Russians could have made prisoners in great quantities. Even if one reckons two men to the meter along the line of defense, and also makes allowance for heavy losses, there would not be a man left on the Austro-Hungarian eastern front if the Russian figures were correct.

Are 331 Vlotims of Tuberculosis Under Cars Now and 180 Mors To Bs Provided For OTTAWA, Sept 1.—Officials of the federal hospitals commission state that on Aug. 26 there were in Canada 331 soldiers back from the front undergoing treatment for lung trouble and 180 more are expected from overseas within the next six weeks. For soldiers who have fallen victims to tuberculosis there arc several special sanatarlums but more will be required.

While many of these institutions were private houses, others belong to public bodies and others again were hotels. For example, there are the Deer Lodge hotel at Winnipeg, with accommodation for 150, and the Ogden hotel ot Calgary, lent fully equipped for the use of 140 men. In the province of Quebec some months ago, the Lauren tide inn at Ste. Agathe was generously lent to the commission by D. L. McGlbbon.

It was at this stage of the meeting that Dr. Rose explained he has seen Mr. Johnson put a hand in one pocket, draw something out, give It to one of the soldiers, who in turn put it in a pocket and with a companion make off for Slocan Junction where a hotel Is located. The doctor then said he accepted Mr. Johnson's denial and withdrew the statement that Mr. Johnson had given money to the soldiers to buy drink with. Mr. Johnson repeated hli denial. The meeting was well attended. All the speakers received applause. Independent Speaks. W, J. Mohr was In the chair. W. B. Winlaw was called on to speak but excused himself. T. L. Bloomer, independent candl date, spoke of Fairview as a new addition to the Nelson riding. He said that the people's prohibition movement had written asking him three questions. One asked for approval of prohibition, the second for approval of the prohi 1.1-titioi. act and the third asked for oS -pledge to enforce tho act if it passed) He said ho gave answer in the affirmative to each question. He spoke in favor of woman suffrage and asked electors to vote In favor of it on tho referendum ballots. His main fight, be said, was against "party ism." It bad become a nuisance to the country, he said. He urged the claims of independence against the party system and spoke against patronage. He hoped /whoever was elected would set his face against party patronage. He said that there was not the need in tbe bouse for lawyers that Mr. Johnson would have the electors believe. Law work should be done by departmental lawyers, he said. He declared he had seen bills Introduced In the house by lawyers and laymen that were so badly framed that they had lo be redrawn. Claims to Represent Labor. Replying to A. .Goodwin, the Trail Socialist, Mr. Bloomer'said he claimed he did represent labor and had every right to do so. He> t-ind spent 24 years tn a labor organization and.be had been placed in every office -of trust in that Organization, If l.c'were not representative of labor be did nor think he would have been chosen for such positions, He spoke of having worked on tho Workmens Compensation act. It was true that the Bowser government had the credit for passing the act, but It was an election bait, be said. He did not think any party would dare refuse to validate the act If the Brewster writ killed It. He doubted the sincerity of Mr. Dowser regarding prohibition. He said as evidence of this that in one case In Ymir district Mr. Bowser somo years ago granted a license illegally within 300 feet of a school house. For this reason he did not place too much confidence in Mr. Bowser's administration. He paid a tribute, to J. H. Schofield for bis work in the district and for tho work ho had done for the "Workmens Compensation act. Mr. Schofield had lost $1500 a year through the act and deserved every credit for It. Mr. Schofield was also very-;jnuch on the job In the legislature. Hi. was always to bo found at his desk. ;" Ferry Beneficial to District Dr. W. O. Rose, Conservative candidate for the greater Nelson riding, said that he thought redistribution would be for the benefit of the district. He did not mean by this, he said, that the suburban districts had not been well treated but they would be in closer touch with their member If he resided in Nelson than at some other point. The government had spent a considerable amount on streets and sidewalks in Falrvkw, while the ferry had proved a great convenience for the people of the .'district. To show the value of the tftiry he- mentioned that during 1915 56,000* passengers had used the ferry, 4816 teams had crossed on It. In addition there were several hundred autos and many cattle. The ferry had filled a long felt want. Zinc Plant New Industry He referred to the government measure which guaranteed the bonds of the French Complex Ore Reduction company for $40,000. *The effect of this was to give Fairview a new Industry and at the" same time to aid In establishing a hew process^Wrffie treatment of the complex ores of the district. Dr. Rose referred to the. need for completing the new brick, school building and pledged himself to do all In his power to further the work. Another matter of Interest to the Fairview people that he proposed to take up at Victoria was that of draining tho swamp in the centre of the district. This work should be carried out. , Dr. Rose then touched on the government's constructive program to develop the province and its resources. He had listened to Mr. Johnson, to M. A. Macdonald and H. C. Brewster but not ono of them had presented a constructive policy. All they had done' was to make carping criticisms of the' government and its policy. He said that he had always been in favor of woman suffrage and was supporting it In this election. He hoped that it would carry. Amid applause he said that he felt that women had the right to the vote and were as well qualified to express an Intelligent opinion on questions at issue as many of the stronger sex. Unfair Criticisms Many unjust criticisms had been hurled at Premier Bowser and his government. There was the Dominion Trust case, for example. Mr. Bowser's firm was solicitor for tho company and for this reason the Liberals blamed Mr. Bowser for the smash. But he asked reasonable men to consider the facts. Before the legislation giving the company power to take * deposits had been passed every Liberal attorney-general In the Canadian provinces had had similar legislation passed. Every other government favored such ilaws. Then a few weeks before the company went smash a reputable firm of auditors in Vancouver had declared over Its signature that the company's finances were in good shape. How could the government or Mr. Bowser reasonably be blamed under such conditions, asked Dr. Rose. It would be as reasonable to blame Mr. Johnson for the bankruptcy of any company for which he was the solicitor. Could Not Make Charges Good Tbe Liberals still said, in the face of the disproof of their charges by the fullest and freest investigation, that the government was the most corrupt in Canada. But after three months of inquiry the Liberals had been unable to substantiate their charges, Not a case of. corruption had been discovered against any member of the government. There, might have heen some minor Irregularities but there was absolutely no evidence of any of the graft that the Liberals, denying the evidence of the inquiries, persisted In declaring had taken place, Mr. Johnson was accustomed to talk a groat deal about the Pacific Great Eastern railway. Mr. Johnson hurled at the heads of his audiences, said Dr. Rose, masses of bewildering figures and attempted to give the impression that the company was a "straw com pany," that there had been graft and all sorts of corruption. But, again, what were tho fncts? Gives Somo Facts.' The facts were that-the contractors bad spent $!>,()<.(., 000 of their own money on the line. Tho Liberals said they had 'spent none.

Mining has never before been so prosperous) nor has it ever shown such possibilities of expansion. This happy state of affairs has been brought about by wise' administration and in spite of retarding condition*' Here are a few of the constructive measures adopted: '- Unification of Records—The absonce of litigation over questions of title in this province is the result of this work. Unequalled Roads and Trails —The construction of these have been the chief concern of the Conservative administration, which has made It possible to ship and handle our ores In a manner that no other sparsely settled province or state ln America has ever dreamed of. Scientific Mining Maps—To the uninitiated theso may look like crazy quilts, yet mining men declare they are the best, the most easily understood mining maps in the world. Mining Laws — Everywhere whore mining men meet, our mining laws arc spoken of as the most enliflhtened In existence. The Prospector the Backbone of Minihb—Finds a warm friend In the .new Minister of Mines, Hon. L'orne Campbell. At his Instance two important measures were passed at the last session. The amendment'to* the Tax-- S atlon Act by ■which CroweV Granted Lands ■ that had revert- ■' ed to the Crown on account, of unpaid taxes -were made available for location. And the Act enabling' prospectors td .lease such lands with the privilege of purchase" on* ■ payment- of* -the taxes. These two measures! eliminated tlie unfair ' competition of the capitalist. Assist Development of New Mines—By appropriating $200,- 000 at the last session for the building of roads and trails into new mining areas. Great benefit has already accrued as the result of this wise appropriation. ' Mine Workers Protected—By adopting the most advanced Workmens Compensation Act tn the world. Bonds on Frenoh Complex Ores Co. Guaranteed — This , company has the process of treating complex ores and > our mines, -will cease :to, be penalized for the presence of lead in' their'" zinc or zinc in their , lead. The electors have witnessed the Liberal Policy of obstruction— crystalized into the famous writ served "on the Attorney-General by "Blue-Ruin" Brewster—to all this splendid legislation. Tha Liberals are ready to ruin British Columbia because they cannot rule it, . "Blue-Ruin" Brewster is playing a game of politioal chess with the public as pawns and will resort to any kind of political skulduggery to win. VOTE FOR: Columbia—Capt. J. N. Taylor Cranbrook—T. D.

Tho result was that thousands of men had been utfven work at a lime when Vancouver had reached tho breadline stage, the road was completed and revenue producing for a distance of 172 miles and the rest of It to Prince George was partially completed. He thought that the government deserved praise and not blame for arranging for this work to be carried out at a time of exceptional difficulty. . Nothing to Replace Government Policies, The Liberals were prolific of criticism but he would like to hear one word from them that would indicate what constructive policy they would put into effect if a majority of the people voted against the government's policies that were now stimulating the development of British Columbia, said Dr. Rose. He concluded by saying that if elect eel he would do all in his power to ad vance the interests of greater Nelson and the surrounding district on which It depended. On Sept. 14 he felt that he would be compelled to perform a very cruel operation on Mr. Johnson, that of- removing his political ambitions. As to Mr. Bloomer, who was fond of making puns on the name of [Rose, he would like to say that while on Sept. 14 the rose would still bo blooming, bloomers would be out of style. He sat down amid the applause of the audience. Three Months Not Enough. Following Dr. Rose Mr. Johnson said the opposition during tbe three months it had been investigating the government's record hud been too busy to discover .the corruption it alleged existed. He declared the Pacific Great Eastern railway directors had secured $25,000,000 face value In the stock of the company and that $15,000,000 of guaranteed bonds had been expended on the road. He said the government had lied to the lieutenant-governor and that the road was so poor that a long coach could not turn the curves. He blamed Mr, Bowser for everything that had occurred during the past four or five years and said that the Dominion Trust was a case of wilful, criminal maladministration. He declared that Gordon Hunter of the supreme court had said that Justice in British Columbia was tainted at the fountainhead and that the offense ln the Dominion Trust case had been In allowing the company to take deposits. He declared that the Inspector of trust companies should have discovered that the company waa In a weak financial position, even though the auditors could not. Mr. Johnson said that R. L. Reid, a partner of Mr. Bowser, was a director of the company and that he and other directors had known that conditions were rotten. The Dominion Trust company had been made ia political question, said Mr. Johnson and he declared that it was .an example of Mr. Bowser's administration of the faw, .

Prohibition Non-Party Affair. Mr*. Johnson dealt with prohibition and said that the measure was a nonparty one. Ho touched on financial conditions and said the province had piled up deficits*, of over $20,000,000. The government had paid $310,000 in interest on the Pacific Great Eastern and he asserted that two more similar payments would have to be made this year. The payment that had been made, be asserted, was covered by a "false *vote" in the legislature. Alto gether seven or eight million dollars worth of work on the Pacific Gr$at Eastern could not be valuatcd, he jag- clared. Mr. Johnson said the government iiad fought the evidence in every inquiry committee and he paid considerable attention to the land policy. He said the Liberals would close rfut ' every man who had applied for lapd and hud not completed his payments or they would compel him to pay.&f-p. Does Not Care About Plugging.

No words ever uttered could express more forcefully the attitude of the entire Belgian populace than thlB pronouncement o* Elizabeth, Queen of the Belgians. This noble woman—noble ln lineage and character—has left home and children behind and like her husband Is doing her share towards the succor of her country. When King Albert said to his prime minister, "-If necessary, you, my dear minister, and I will take our rifles and go into the battle," Queen Elizabeth, who was present, added, "And I, and with me all the Belgian women."' Queen Elizabeth _ did not literally shoulder a rifle but she has made her way among "Belgium*s suffering populace ever since the outbreak of the war and has rendered Invaluable as slstance in the work of relieving those suffering the pangs of hunger and privation Inflicted on them by the Germans. While Queen Elizabeth has not entered that part of Belgium where suffering is most acute, that district being under German government, her work elsewhere has been an example to the millions of women in the coun tries of the allies. Canadian women are urged to look upon her and ask themselves If they have helped as they should. Belgium is still suffering and will continue in want until her rehabltatlpn after the war, and Canada and the other allied nations must give the suport to her people that will keep up their moral strength—that great asset that held back the German hordes while Britain prepared. Hardly a Canadian women but could save $2.50 out of the money she spend] carelessly during a month. That $2.50 would keep a Belgian mother and her helpless babes from starving for a whole month, providing tbe money is sent to your local com mittee or the Central Belgian Relief Committee, 59 St. Peter street., Mon treal. Isn't It worth while? Contributions for the Belgian relief fund are also received at the office of The Nelson Dally News. AUSTRALIAN RAID ON GERMAN LINES LONDON, England—A description of the recent important raid carried out by the Australian troops on a front of two miles south of Armentieres against the German trenches has been supplied by Capt, C. E. W. Bean, official press representative with the Australian troops in France. After a preparatory bombardment, he says, an Australian force attacked the German trenches south of Armentieres. The Australians on the left seized the German front line, ai^^aassu;,. be^d^t,^. 4Ur^ trenches of the first system. In the centre the Australians carried the whote of the first system, and reached more or less open country. On the right the troops had to cross a much wider stretch between trenches where the Germans held a very strong fortified salient. The Germans were ready for attack, and had managed to save a number of machine guns from the bombardment. In spite of the very brave efforts the troops on this flank were unable to cross the ground between the trenches, and only managed to reach the German trenches at Isolated points. From these they were subsequently driven out. This enabled the Germans to concentrate the fire of all sorts of artillery on a portion of the trenches captured, The Germans battered down their own trenches where they were occupied with our own men. They also drained water from the channel down the trenches from the left bank, and the Australians there shortly after reaching the trenches found themselves surrounded in water rapidly rising waist-high. They endured a tremendous bombardment until early the following morning, when after 11 hours In the captured posi- tpp. the Australians retaining a small portion of the German line were ordered to retire. By dint of very brave work the engineers and Infantry in working parties ■had managed to get communication trenches dug completely^ through to the Gorman trenches. Themj trenches were dug under very heavy shell fire. This work enabled the troops to retire with a loss which,was slight, when the extraordinary difficulty of the operation Is considered. Among the last who returned to our trenches were eitrht men who said they had been lost behind the German trenches, and had been wandering about until daylight In the country In rear of the front line. Our troops' in this attack had to face shell fire heavier and more continuous than was ever known in Gallipoli. Many of them were quite untried, previously, and the manner in which they carried It through seems to have been worthy of all the traditions of Anzac. At least 200 prisoners were captured and several machine guns were brought In. WHY DOES A TRAIN TIP ON A CURVE? Because, if it did not tip, It would run right over the rails and go straight ahead. It is one of the great laws that every moving thing will keep on moving straight ahead In on© direction until some other force change's its direction. So, when a train gets to moving, It wants to keep on .'going straight ahead, and the faster it is going the harder it Is to change its direction. That Is why trains and trolleys go more slowly around a curve, writes Marian E. Bailey, in "Boy's and Girl's Ask-at-Home Questions." Now, when people want a train to go around a circle, and the force with which the train is moving makes the train want to go straight ahead, then they have to find another force which will partly change the straight-ahead •force. So they raise the outside rail on a curve, and tip the trlan a little. That makes the force of gravity, which pulls everything toward the earth, "ocu interact," or work against, the straight-ahead force. The tipping of the train toward the Inside of the curve keeps It from running over the rails and going straight ahead, and the force Wltfi which the train is moving forward keeps It from tipping too far. . RUMANIAN CROPS IMPORTANT FACTOR BERLIN, Germany—in his latest dispatch from Bucharest' up to the time of writing Dr. Leo Lederer enlarges in the Berliner Tageblatt on the important political role that the Rumanian harvest is called upon to play this year. Not only, he observes, Is the present attitude of the Rumanian government determined to some extent by the necessity for bringing the crops safely In before any definite action is taken, but It is clear from the way in which the Britianu cabinet Is handling the matter that it is using it as its main instrument in its efforts to gain time, and to await the further development of the military situation. Thus, he notes, the whole of the new Rumanian harvest has been immobilized until the end of August, and the effect of the measures lately adopted by the governments amounts to an embargo on the export of grain for the time being. Any sale, namely, of the new crops, has been taken at the end of August, and the authorities have determined the quantity to be set aside for seed, for home consumption, and for export; this despite the fact that however poor the harvest might be, it Is certain that considerable quantities could be set free, writes Dr. Lederer, that the measures taken have been determined not alone by economic considerations, but by political ones as well. The fact of the matter, he explains, is that the Rumanian government wants to avoid all negotiations as to exportation so long as it cannot be certain what course military events will take, for the "starvation campaign" waged by the entente against the Central Powers has made the disposal of the Rumanian harvest a political question. Hence actual negotiations as to the sale of the new harvest have so far been opened neither with the Central Powers nor with England, and the manner of their opening will depend "to some extent," Dr. Lederer thinks, on the march of events. In any case, he predicts, England will endeavor to withdraw a part nt least of the harvest from the Central Powers as she did last year, and to force up the price by competitive offers, even if she loses heavily In the process. He has no doubt of Rumania's readiness to derive what advantage she enn from these conditions, but remarks that England's strength on the Rumanian corn market will depend on her strength on the battlefield. The English, he adds, have so far been able to obtain only 45,000 of the 80,000 wagons of wheat which they were authorized to buy up and to store before July 15, 1916, and they are now said to be claiming a prior right to procure the 35,000 wagon loads that remain from the new harvest. It appears, he says, that this demand has been rejected by the Britianu cabinet for the present, but' that this has not prevented the English from declaring that the further (sale of^RumaniaT*' grain of" the Central Powers Is 'not? permlssable,- as It violates the strict blockade decided upon at the Paris conference. These, of course, writes Dr. Lederer, are threats whose weight depends entirely on the position of tbe entente armies In the east, and west, and south, but it will be seen that it is not easv for a "Boche" to buy even a stamp in Rumania nowadays, unless he can give a satisfactory account of the position on the battlefields In France and Russia. Dr. Lederer goes on to declare that for the present the immobilization of the Rumanian harvest does not Involve an injury to German interests. The transport organization set tip by the German purchasing agents will have plenty to do until tbe end of September, he says, with dispatching the goods already contracted for, even If tho surplus from the 1915 harvest, which Germany has bought up, Is not very large, and the Rumanian government decides, as it threatens to do, to substitute pulse for some of the hundred thousand wagons of maize for which Germany had contracted, on tbe plea that the maize harvest last year was overestimated. In any case, he remarks, the Rumanian harvest promises to be much smaller this year than list, and consequently of much less impor- ance as far as exportation Is concerned; whereas a better harvest in Germany will be of .far more value than any amount of importations.. We can. therefore, he writes, await the course of events with composure, and later It will perhaps have become clear to M. Bratianu himself with which side the real success rests. The senators of tbe United States put It on the poor representatives all the time, writes the correspondent' of the New York World: The senators get shaved free while the members of the lower chamber desiring to rid their chins of hirsute adornment have to pay the barbers in the house basement. In the upper chnmber, bow- ever, the senator is furnished with a barber's attendance free of cost to him. The government pays. Lieut, Val Stock, who left Toronto to join the R. A. M.

TELLS OF Oi OF When that part of Chicago now known as the loop district, in other words, the business heart of the city, was still lying low in the swamp formed by the .periodical Overflows of the north and south branches of the river from which the place takes Its name, a great many people turned their backs upon promising settlements in the neighborhood that presented a much more attractive appearance, and settled there. If one happened to drop, into a meeting of the Chicago Historical society on Old Settler's night, in any year of a score or more following the granting of a city charter, he was pretty certain to find some pioneers vying with one another In an effort to tell how uninviting was the town when they "first struck" it. It is said by those who have made a study of the question that the early arrivals in Chicago remained there because they got stuck in the mud and couldn't get away. However, this may be, there Is no question about their remaining. They came by twos to begin with, and then they came by tens, by scores, by hundreds, by thousands, and by tens of thousands, and they all stayed. Some of these came from the New England states, some from New York; later they flocked in from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ihdlahn,* and not a few of them, and not a few of the worthiest of them, came from Ken tueky. Among the latter were the Wallers, the Harrisons and the Hon- ores. The first of the Honores came from Louisville even before George M. Pullman, inventor of the sleeping car, had begun to raise the future loop dis trlct out of the mud, and' while the latter citizen was lifting business blocks, public buildings and churches by tiie aid of jackscrews. Henry Hamilton Honore, the young man from Kentucky, was appraising the improved real estate and Issuing bulletins containing such wild predictions as that Chicago some day would In all probability have a population of 50,000 people, and announcing lu displayed type, large tor those days, that now, therefore, was the time to invest in some choice inside property. Inside property of the choicest character In the 50s brought anywhere from ?50 to $100 a front foot, or less than you would have to pay for a square foot In some parts of the loop district how, but land was rising and rising, and already there was a good deal of talk about the balloon tendencies of Chicago real estate. Henry Hamilton Honore, with whom we have to do just now, and who has now passed from the scene, was one of the most enthusiastic believers In the greatness of the lake city. His neighbors, at times used to think that his belief in it went too far. The. place having eventually passed the 50,000 mark, he caused great laughter at a celebration over that achievement by expressing his belief that Dr. Egan, another pioneer, was right when he prophesiled that some day Chicago would be as large as St. Louis. Like many others of his faith he proved it by his works. He bought and built, and built and bought, and borrowed and subdivided, until his example was followed by hundreds of others, until the wonderful enterprise and growth of Chicago became noised throughout the country. In tbe very springtime of the city's growth came the fire of Oct. 9, 1871, which burned over an area of three and a third square miles, destroyed more than 17,000 buildings, and caused a loss of ■$190,000,000. Henry Hamilton Honore had Utile left, save his courage and his credit, nn the morning of Oct. 10. But he resumed business in a shed, and continued his work of laying out Ashland ".venue, which was to be the fashionable boulevard of the Wf st side, two miles from the burnt district. Thousands of Chtcagoans. like .Tames Hamilton Honore,, were f:ist recovering their,fortunes, and would have fully recovered them but for the panic of 1873. That event wiped out the last resources of a great number of the early builders of the city. It marked the end of the beginning of an epoch. The decade of the United States centennial year brought many changes to the country. and none more pronounced than that which came to Chicago. The new city had fallen into the hands of Its younger men. The older builders were relegated to the rear, but not without honor. Henry Hamilton Honore, who was ridiculed for predicting a population of 50,000, saw the city of his hope pass the 500,000 mark, the 1,000,000 mark, the 2.000,000 mark, and, finally, the 2,500,000 mark. Perhaps it will detract in no degree from whatever Interest the reader may have taken in this reference to him if it be mentioned that Bertha Honore, who married Potter Palmer of Chicago, and became one of America's famous social leaders, was one of his daughters; that Ida Honore, who married General Frederick Dent Grant, eldest son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was another; and that Judge Lockwood Honore of Chicago is one of his son3.—Christian Science Monitor. Satisfaction TVORYSOAP floats. This **■ alone makes it more desirable than ordinary soaps.

PASE 6I0H+ LORDS DECIDE CASE ON SHIP CHARTERS .LONDON; England—A case of considerable importance to shippers has 'y. ■--. decked in the house of lords, When a decision of the court of appeal laying down that the time charter of . ship had not been terminated by the tact that it had been requisitioned by the admiralty-: was upheld. The facts of the case were as follows: The British tank steamer T. A. Tam- plln was under a time charter contracj to the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Products company, the charter party period to end In December, 1917. The charter party contained the usual exceptions, Including "arrests and restraints of princes, rulers, and people." In November, 1314, the vessel was re- fiulsitioned bv the admiralty by notice to the Anglo-Mexican company as charterers contested this cin Im. n nd rendered nn account fo Hie admiralty. The court, of appeals held that the charter narty was not terminated by the requisition of the steamer, ami continued In force. This decision was upheld by a majority of the house of lords. Lord Parker made an important statement on the question of compensation. Expressing the views of the majority, In a judgment upholding the decision cf ^h" court of n.ODeal, Lord Parker pnld that as he read the contract of the charter narty the parties were not con- t omnia ting the prosecution of anv commercial adventure in which both were Interested. The owners were not concerned In the characters doing any sneciflc thing beyond the payment of frefeht hs it became due. Tbey wero only concerned that the chartersishoiiid pnv the freight and should not use lhe shin contrary to the provisions of the charter Darty. It would be to the Interest of the owners if the charterers would not make any use of the ship at all. They would thus save the cost of repairs due to wear and tear. On the other hand, the charterers only .stipulated that the vessel should be at their .disposal for certain defined purposes. If they so desired, they retained full liberty not to use the vessel for any ■'purpose whatever. It was provided that 'if the ship could not put to .sea because of a deficiency of senmen, freignt would he suspended. If. however,, the vessel could not put to sea because of an embareo, lhe freight continued to be payable, nor were the owners liable In damages. He. entertained no doubt that the requisitioning of the steamship by the government in the present case was "a restraint of princes." The parties had expressly contracted that during the period during which, by reason of such a restraint, the owners were unable to keep the ship at the disposition of the charterers the freight was to continue payable and the owners were to be free from liability. Moreover, and this'seemed to him to be the vital point, the charter party did not contemplate any definite nd venture or object to be performed or carried nut within reasonable limits of time so as to justify a distinction being drawn between delays which might render such adventure br object impossible and 'delays which might not. In these circumstances, it appeared to him difficult, If not impossible to frame any condition by virtue of which the contract of the parties was at an end without contradicting the provisions of the contract and defeating the intention of the parties as disclosed In the provisions. He had come to the conclusion that the decision of the court of appeal was right. I desire to add this, said Lord Parker. I cannot help thinking that the questions really at issue has been somewhat obscured by the fact that the government has, tinder the terms of the royal proclamation of Aug. 3, 1914, to pay compensation to "the owners," to be settled In case of difference by arbitration. Owners must in this proclamation include all parties interested. Tt cannot in the present case mean tho owners exclusive nf tho charterers, or the charterers exclusive of the owners. Roth aro entitled to compensation, and if such compensation be not agreed with either .separately, but with both together, the amount so agreed will be divisible between them, according to their respective rights and Interests. REVIEWS CAREER OF SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY LONDON, England. — Sir William Ramsay, K, C. B'„ LL. D., D. Sc., of Oxford, Cambridge, Columbia, etc., M. D., R, F. S., member of the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, officer of ithc legion of honor, commander of the crown of Italy, -was the only son of William Ramsay! 0. E., and Catherine Robertson. Sir William was educated at the universities of Glasgow and Tueblngen and also .studied for a^short time under Bunsen, the famous German chemist at Heidelberg. Me became president of the British association in 1911, and was also president of the International congress of applied chemistry held in 1809, and was a member of all the prominent foreign academies, including "Berlin, Petrograd, Stockholm, Vienna and others. As a teacher Sir .William occupied important positions and at one time was principal of, University College, Bristol. He was appointed professor of chemistry at University College In 1887, nnd was professor emeritus since 1918. -His fame as one of tiie greatest of teachers did not rest only on his success aa an Instructor, but was recognized by competent chemists and physicists who invariably found him ready tn assist them to make progress With (heir work. He believed In teaching students to think Tor themselves or, In other words, how to learn and, as a result, many of his .students are among the most famous of the younger men of natural science of the present day. Sir William's researches were very profound and the discovery in the atmosphere of the so-called inert gases brought him into further prominence. In conjunction with Lord Rayleigh, the discovery of argon was announced .nt the British association In 1SSM and he and Lord Rayleigh were then awarded the Hodgkins prize of $10,000 which had heen offered by the Smithsonian Insti tution forTRe must important chemTcul- discovery In connection with the atmosphere. These two distinguished natural scientists also shared the Leconte prize, while the Nobel prize for chemistry was awarded to Sir William Ramsay in 1904. besides which he was the holder of the Bernard medal of the University of Columbia. New York. The discovery of the presence of helium in uraninite was made very shortly after the discovery of argon. Helium was the name given to an element which was at that time only known to exist in the sun. Its presence there had been delected 20 years before by Sir Norman Lockyer by means of the spoctrosrone. thnt wonderful in- stument consisting principally of a small triangular piece of glass which gives the power to rob the stars of their secrets. Tn this connection it may be remarked thnt a famous philosopher of the nineteenth century declared only a 'few years before the discovery of spectrum analysis that nil Mint could be known of the heavenly bodies must ever he confined to an acquaintance with their motions and to such a limited acmtnintaneo with their features ns lhe lelescone revealed. Spectrum ano.lv,sls'heli"ed 'his prophecy very soon afterwards. Tn contradistinction to this attitude. Sir William Ramsay was always fruitfull with fresh Ideas as to what would or could be accomplished in the future and these ideas were generally of such an advanced nature that many poeple considered them to he dreams of the very wildest, description. Sir William gave a creat deal of attention to radio nctivltv. and. In enn- Innetlon with Professor Poddv, the transmutation of radium into helium was discovered. Latterly he had been connected wUh the preparation of radium bromide on a commercial scale and it wns oivini' entirely to his efforts that Its production in a form sufficiently pure for modern requirements was recently started in Scotland. The verv great Importance of this achievement Is probahlv only recognized by a very small number of people at the present time. Sir William did not confine his attention to the intricate chemical nnd nhyslcal problems of natural science. T'e took a keen interest in questions of social reform, and contributed tn the daily press articles and letters dealing with education, temperance and kindred subjects. tub r>A"v Nrws SATURDAY, SEPT. \2, bl6a LORD CREWE ON EDUCATION IN FUTURE , CONVENIENT ROADSIDE MAP An example of an unusually effective method of marking highways is found in the sign erected by the American club of southern California near Roscoe, Cal. On a large signboard, such as is used for roadside advertising, a map has been painted outlining the gorid road.s to various points within a radius of 17 miles from Roscoo. The location of all the towns Is shown on these routes and In addition the principal neighboring communities are again named in two columns, beside each of which Is an arrow, showing the direction in whicli the towns lie.

WESTMINSTER. England—The recent debate on education, initiated by Viscount Haldane in the house of lords was resumed by Lord Sheffield, who expressed the opinion that the war had shown that the British system of education had produced better results than all the discipline and drill of German. Germany had two gain-s—-official patriotism resulted in criticism of the government being treated as a penal offense. Official r.el!glon appeared to result In the German emperor'treating providence as an ally, and sometimes almost as a subordinate. They did not wish to pee that result In the English people. The government's po.cition with regard to the future of education was put before the. lioti.se by the Marquis of Crewe, lord president of the council. Tho government agreed, be said, that education was a subject on which tftey dared not restrict expenditure. TJiey,would not have anything of the fjfLlse economy which would starve national education. Explaining the nature of the inquiry which the government proposed tn Institute, he said he believed the roiin- try would demand that it should not bo exclusively political hi the party sense, and not loo bureaucratic. The committee which, would review the whole field nf national education, would be composed partly of member?, of the government and partly of public men of large parliamentary experience. Tt would be closely bound up with the committee on reconstruction, over which the prime minister presided. The committee would attach to Itself the best expert knowledge it could obtain, including those who were concerned with the maintenance and elevation of tin' national character, ns well as with the acquisition of knowledge. The government also considered It necessary lo set up two other committees to supply particular branches of education. The onestion nf the leaching of physical science would he inquired Into bv a committee over which he himself would preside. Tt would be eomposed of educational experts, and first rate exponents of business. Another small committee on the same lines had been appointed lo inquire into the study of languages. Snme people would decide not to forgo the pleasure of studying the materplcces of German literature In the German language, and in some branches of business a knowledge of each country within the confines of the Other became as frequent as 11 had been In recent years. Tho study of French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish would certainly be promoted. In regard to primary education, he hoped that tlie religious difficulty would lie solved as people realized that education was In a large measure the training of character anil that lo .some the training of character absolutely demanded religious' instruction. The question of the training, of lads of from 1-1 to l.y might he dealt with in sqjfip nieasui,e..;by,lau improvement, in th'!' last year qjj the .eloinentoj'y.sclu'ol, and possibly by methods of avoiding blind alley occupations, In which direc t-ton The "coi n m \ 11e'e' iolie' presfd^a oveF by Herbert Lewis would, no dotriftj- make useful recommendations. The foundation. If It were possible, of a system of .educational continuation apprentices must possess a warrp attraction. Lord Crewe expressed the view that, at any rate so far as the two great English universities were concerned, earlier transit from the school to those universities would be for the generat advantage. Then there was the question of proper and reasonable al- lotment^of scholarships and bursaries. Lord Crewe concluded with the statement that there must be an Improved standard to pay and better prospects in the teaching profession if the training of the nation was to be advanced. INDIA TAKES ACTION ON FIRMS' LIQUIDATION ' CALCUTTA, India—The government of India has promulgated an ordinance dealing with the liquidation of hostile TTrms" antT'the"" property df hoTsttte persons which brings the law in this country into close accord with the present state of English law. The British trading with' the enemy (amendment) act of 1916 enables action to be taken in the case of firms whose business, by reason of enemy nationality "or association, is carried on wholly or mainly for the benefit of enemy subjects. It also gives power to the board of trade to abrogate contracts or transfers, a power which it is believed has, for obvious reasons, beon very sparingly exercised. It further enables a company* containing enemy elements to purge Itself thereof with the assistance of the custodian, who may permit the British shareholders to buy out enemy shareholders, depositing the price so paid with the custodian. The ordinance follows the English act closely, with such modifications as local circumstances require. It will enable the government to wind up hostile concerns much on the lines of the Indian companies and Insohreby acts, the distribution of assets sof-ealize' being subject to special rules. The liquidator will have riwer t< give a good title to purchaseriof the good will of hostile busfnessesknd to the immovable property IndliteB' a considerable advance upon thai tilth erto adopted, in that the initiate for liquidation wil come from the lluida- tor, and will not be left nominal! ■with the firm itself. It will also enale th* hostile businesses dealt with lo hi completely extinguished, therebspre- Ventlng them from recovering fcm i state of suspended animation, all re- sum Ing business after the conc^Ion of peace.

The Shadow of Death Hangs Over Belgium 3,000,000 People a»e Living Within A Few Days of Actual Starvation. The situation in Belgium grows more critical with every passing week. The fate of women, children and old and wounded men, in steadily growing numbers, depends absolutely on the Belgian Relief Commission. If the food supplied by the Commission were cut off, the third day would find the weaker ones starving to death. Within two weeks 3,000,000 would be dead or dying, and 4,000,000 more would be suffering acutely, ,.

The mother! takes her place in the lengthening bread lines, to get the meager rations served out by the Belgian Relief Committee.

Knowles of Turtleford, Saskatchewan, Giving in Detail the Real Facts of the Cat*. This statement Is republished from the Chilliwack Progress of Aug. 24th. Mr. Geo. B. Knowles, jeweller of Turtleford, Sask., has been visiting Chilliwack, with a view to locating here, in search of milder climate. While discussing prohibition, Mr. KnowleB, who is an alderman in his own town and therefore in a position to speak with authority on the subject, states that since the bars were closed by Premier Scott, drunkenness has Increased 26 per cent. The government dlBpenBary for his district Is North Battleford, about 00 miles south of Turtleford, and one day when Mr. Knowles happened to be at the station he counted 37 parcels of whiskey coming into that town, which has a population of only 210. Before, the bars Were closed a man could go into a bar and get one glass of whiskey; now the least he can buy is one quurt. And where one glass of whiskey had no effect on a man, one (iuart will make him intoxicated. In Saskatchewan one en buy one gallon of whiskey and either four gallons of beer or four gallons of wine per day, which causes more drunkenness than ever before. The North Battleford dispensary is as large as a departmental store, and is kept busy all day. Christmas eve, the manager closed the dispensary promptly on time, thereby turning away at least one hundred people, who were naturally annoyed, and a report of this having been sent to the authorities, the manager Inst his position, and a new munager Installed, who was not so strict. North Battleford business men are all complaining that business lias fallen off 25 per cent since the bars were closed. In passing through Edmonton, where one can get no whiskey, and where there are large lumber and coal concerns, business men told me that the Working man gets a big stake, and then leaves the province for a place where he can have a better time for his money, thereby taking a good sum of money out of the province. Formerly a man in Saskatchewan bought.a glass of whiskey, and then went about his business, today he can buy nothing less than a quart, which leads to greater" indulgence. Mr. Knowles states that prohibition is not a success, and although a prohibitionist himself, he has no desire to come lo a province that is dry, for he has already had all that he wants^of that state of affairs. Tlie sale of liquor brings no revenue into the city, the license from hotel keepers and wholesale men helped the upkeep of the city, but under the new regulations in Saskatchewan, there is more drunkenness than ever and no money coming Into tbe city 'treasury to help keep order, etc., as there was In tho days of licenses. .

ONCE FAMOUS YACHT. AMERICA, STILL AFLOJlT Sixty-Five Years Ago^ Craft Now- Moored in Boston Won Cup Ever Since Held in U. 3. A few steps away frqfil tiio tide of passengers which sets daily in arid out of the South station in Boston is the most famous yacht in the world, the schooner America. It was on Aug. 22. Gf> years ago that she met and won from 17 British boats, in the first inlernaUonal'ffrace around the Isle of "Wight, the Royal Yacht squadron cup which was nfterwurd deeded to the New York Yacht club and is known as the America's cup, the acknowledged blue ribbon of the world's yachting, ' , Moored stem and stern in the ebbing and flowing tides nf Fort "Point channel, on the southeast side of-the-South station in the midst .of the business traffic of Boston, the America shows today in her upper body, the lines of her designer George Steers, although It is estimated that less than 10 per cent remains of the original vessel, which was launched on May 3, 1851, from the yard nf William H. Brown at the foot of East Twelfth street, New York. 1 No yacht ever had such n diversified history. From her supreme effort on that August day nearly two thirds of a century ago when she established the reputation of the United States' in yacht designing, yacht building, yacht rigging and yacht sailing, the America became successively, the property of an Kngllsh nobleman, a dispatch boat for Confederate diplomats to Europe, a Confederate blockade rimer, a sunken hulk In the St. Johns river, Fla.t the property of a prize crew of American seamen, a training ship at the naval academy at Annapolis, the representa^ tive of the navy department ln a yacht race for the defense of the cup which she won 20 years before, the object of a government acutlon, aim finally the pleasure craft of a famous Massachusetts general and Governor,, "Benjamin F. Butler, and later of his grandson, Col. Butler Ames of Lowell, Mass., who now controls her. Colonel Ames has no plans for her future at the present time. She was last in commission in 1901, her fiftieth aniversary, and lay for some days in the Horse Shoe at Sandy Hook during Sir Thomas Llpton's second quest for the cup, with the challenger Shamrock II. on one side and the defender Columbia on thcother. Since then she has heen floating In the tide waters of Boston harbor, laying for 10 years ln Chelsea river and for the past five years in Fort Point channel, just above Summer street bridge. Colonel Ames has been asked many times to charter the boat and It has been proposed that sho he motorized. ■But Colonel Ames 1ms heen actively engaged in polltlns for the last 15 years, as a representa.tfVe from the Lowell district, both in the state legislature and In Congress. At present Jie is busy with mnuy contracts for war munitions, so that .yachting in the. °Ul You Can Save Money Here Today Atla HOLIDAY ATTIRE HAS BEEN i-OOKED OVER AND RE-MARKED AT LESS.

I It is possible that the America may ; sail again- But it will be with her own canvas and not under gasoline power for she has not sufficient keel to house. a ^propeller shaft. Besides, it is probable that her top sides will have to lie rebuilt, a new deck laid and new masts stepped, to say nothing of a complete set of sails und interior fittings. Yet the America has boen rebuilt almost as thoroughly several times, and/ it is probable that the Ames or the Butler family will give her another chance to show her graceful lines, before consigning her to the scrap heap. The America was built for a syndicate of New York yachtsmen, composed of ,!ohn C. and Edwin A. Stevens, George L. Schuyler, Col. James A. Hamilton, ,T. Beskman FInley and Hamilton Wilkes, from designs by George Steers, SluS was entirely of wood and registered 170 tons net. She wag schooner rigged, but her masts had a severe rake, of nearly three inches to the foot, a style in yachting architecture which disappeared in the early 70s. She was rebuilt four times; very thoroughly at first by a boat-builder on the Thames, again after her salvage from the St. Johns river, a third time in New York, and a fourth time in 1885 by George Lawley in Boston by direction of General Butler. It is believed that If the Butler or Ames family should decide to place her in commission again, a fifth rebuilding would bo necessary, especially her topsides, deck, masts and standing rigging. Such a renovation would probably reduce still further the amount of original material but would not necessarily alter her lines laid down 65 years ago by Mr. Steers. The Royal Yacht'squadron cup, which the New York syndicate brought back from England In 1851 and deeded to the New York Yacht club as the America's cup, stands today as the most expensive yachting trophy in the world. Millions of dollars have been spent in quest of this sliver pitcher and In its defense. Sinco the first challenge in 1870, there have been sailed for it 12 series of contests and 32 races in which the American boats won all but one and in which they finished ahead of the chal- langer In all but three. The margin In some of the contests was very close the Vigilant defeating the Vaikyrle II, In 18!>3 by 40 seconds, and the Columbia winning from the Shamrock II. in 1901 by 41 seconds, after the second Lipton challenger had crossed the' line two seconds in the lead. All these races were .**ailod In or off •New York harbor, and a majority of them outside of. Sandj; Hook, Tho first \ eight races were sailed by schooners and the remainder by sloops. A thirteenth series is now pending between the Shamrock IV. and some defender not yet selected by the New York Yacht club. Tlie Shamrock IV. has been laid up in Brooklyn since sho arrived from England in September. 1914. while the prospective defenders, the Resolute and Vanitle, are also hauled out awaiting the ending of the European war, and a resumption of international yachting. Tlie America's cup hus for years been in tho custody of Tiffany & Co.. of New Vork, and is usually displayed in the show window at the time of the international races. It was 1a.st on view In the fall of 1!)0U. AN IMMENSE BUDDHA The bronze Buddha of Yokohama, the picture of which is ho familiar, is commonly thought to be thf largest statue of that god lu tbe world; but there is one in Burma that exceeds it in at least ono dimension and gives an Impression of far greater size. When the English were building the railway from Rangoon to Mahdulay In 1881, they searched the vicinity to Pegu for stone with which to make the embankment through the great swamps, says the Youths Companion. In the whole area there w;>s only one elevation of any importance; the engineers thought that this hill might provide the necessary material; so they dug into the base and were surprised to find some artistic brickwork. On clearing away the earth farther they found an enormus stone statue that represented Buddha in a reclining position. The statue Is about 190 feet long, and, in eluding the brick base, is it more than 40 feet high. The Yokohama Buddha Is 55 feet high and 110 feet in circum ference. Although the Burmese statue is not so artistic as the Japanese, it is a wonderful piece of work. Not the least remarkable about It is the way in which so huge a monument had disappeared absolutely from Bur- mese history and legend. The news of the discovery at once brought numberless Buddhists to the place, who gilded and decorated the gigantic Image as a work of devotion. The soles of its huge feet were ornamented at great cost with an elaborate glass mosaic, and each toa was embellished with a separate decoration. SOUTH AFRICA'S RESOURCES JOHANNESBURG, Mouth Africa.— Representatives of natural science and technical organizations recently mot at the chamber of mines with a view to collecting and coordinating information in order that definite proposals might he made to the Union and Rhodesian governments to secure equipment, wholetime experts, and stato aid for the utilization of the country's resources. One of the projects was the preparation of information to enable the governments to introduce lulls for the establishment of a national laboratory for the pursuit of technical research and its application to industry. A resolution was passed to the effect that those present -bound themselves to combine in taking such steps as might be in their power to hasten the development of the resources of South Africa, "especially In view of the coming commercial and industrial competition, and the obligations of tills country to do its share in providing suitably for the present and future needs of the men who are fighting Its battles, or are disabled thereby, as well as the needs of their dependents and the dependents of those who have given up their lives in defending the honor of the British nation." Another resolution provided for the establishment of a central committee, to represent various bodies concerned. Major L. O. Webster, of Calgary, reported killed in action, was an employee of the street railway, being engaged as motorman when he enlisted in a Calgary battalion 15 months ago. ■ '• "' —— PAGE TEN THE DAILY NEWS SATURDAY, SEPT. 2, 1918 Unequal! led for General Us*.

AUGUST CUSTOMS RECEIPTS ■ $2295 GREATER THAN IN JULY Shipments of Mining Machinery Responsible for Good Proportion of Increase, Say Officials. * Tbe customs returns for tho port of Nelson during the month of August show an increase of $2295.96 over the preceding month of July, the total receipts being ¥15,102.87. Officials state that much of this increase is due to the large quantities of mining machinery required for the equipment and further development of mines in the district. The advance being made in the opening up of the country's mineral resources, say the customs officials, may be closely estimated by the large shipments of mining equipment which have heen coming through the port of Nelson in ever increasing quantities since spring. A largo grist mill at Phillips ville, near Broekville, Ont., owned by Reuben Haskins, eaught fire and was totally destroyed.

HILL AH ARTISTI Audience Greets Entertainer With Continuous Laughter and Applause at Concert Last Evening, Those who( frilled to avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Lieut. B. C. Hillinm and1 ills associates" at the opera house last night missed one of the most enjoyable and thoroughly artistic entertainments ever offered in Nelson as well as an opportunity to help in providing amusement for the active service men. A slim audience greeted Lieut. Hil- liam, but iti spontaneous laughter and enthulastic applause testified to the high character of the entertainment provided The features of the evening were the planologuea and friendly chatter of Lieut. Itilliam, but the vocal numbers rendered by Mrs. George Stephenson, George A. Brown, Ernest Lupton and Sorgt. Adamson also received much well merited applause. Lieut. Hilliam, who Is well known throughout the west as a solo enter- twiner of the I'irst rank, has a delightful personality and droll way of taking the audience into his confidence while chattering humorously at the piano, which he uses to illustrate his nnec does and on which he plays the accompaniments to his own songs. Not only is he possessed of the capability of making the instrument do "stunts' nearly akin to talking, but he is a pianist of much artistic ability and delighted his audience last night with his rendition of several classical numbers. One of bis happiest numbers was a description of the case with which a person at all familiar with tbe piano may oblige at a dance with an original waltz number, According to Lieut, Hilliam all that is necessary is to select a theme written by some one else, play it in waltz time with the addition of a prelude and an ending. Illustrated by him on the piano it all seemed quite simple, but—. Another amusing item on the program was "The Tipperary 'Mania" in which Lieut. Hilliam illustrated how the popular marching song would have been converted into a Hungarian rhapsody by the Abbe Listz and a lilting illusive waltz by Chopin. Lieut. Hilliam's songs are of a dis- A.S.i1orswill&Co.

He did not know what would be the effect of the writ if it were upheld. He said the question would not have arisen If Premier Bowser had called parliament together on Jan. 2, or during the first week of the year, which he said was the usual time. In any event, he said, Mr. Bowser knew all about the situation. Mr. Johnson declared that there should have been a general election immediately after the byelections. Hie claimed credit for the Liberal party in connection with the workmens compensation act and declared that there was a Joker In the farm credits bill which enabled speculators to borrow money, complete payments on their land and not do any work on it. He said that millions of acres of land were tied up as a result of the government's policy and that the government was "betting the soldier 160 acres of rock against four or five years of tho soldiers' time that he could not live on It." The constructive policy of the Liberals, he asserted was administration of the law, to abolish patronage, no land for speculators and fo discuss with the Dominion plans for immigration after the war.
