LONDON" Se.pt. 11.—Fob the, first i ln ma,ny weeks Monday proved a jday without spectacular features In [sortie one of the various war theatres. Nowhere on the fronts was a crushing Iblow delivered hy any of tho bclliger I,TI i and none of the war chancellories reported any great gain by their armies in the field. Probably the most significant move I was that of the Britisli in the Struma region of the Greek. Macedonian front. Here the British, after hard fighting, threw their forces across the Struma near Neohori, nt the southern end of ake Tahinos, which lies between Seres Jra' Orfano„and at several other places (near the lake. In addition, four villages were captured and held, despite heavy counter-attacks by the Teutonic allies. Whether this offensive by the British means the beginning of an attempt to drive through Bulgaria or Is merely a maneuver to' throw the British line nearer Kavala, which Is about 25 miles east of Neohori, has not yet been made apparent. From the west of the Var dar,. river to Lake Doiran the French are violently bombarding Bulgarian positions and on the field held by the Servians the Bulgarians have been compelled to withdraw.

WEYUURN, Sask.; Sept; il.—Paul Elsonhardtf former clerk uf the court here, appeared before Judge Wood toddy, having elected to be tried summarily ufter having been committed by tho magistrate on a charge of misap- propriayon of public funds. The taking of evidence occupied all the ul'tcrnoon und the argument of the crown and defense wus left over until tomorrow. Tho case hinges on the validity of the provincial government's claim to the fens issued by the federal ..government to local registrars in respect 6f naturalization returns. Under existing regulations these fees which are paid by the federal government lo the registrar, are ordered by the department.of the .attorney general to bo paid to the provincial government. The defense questions the right of tho provincial authorities to do this, urging that hi order issued by tlie provincial govern ment can override the orders of tho federal government.

The figures showed that 65,5 per cent of the total cost of fuel paid by the city of Saskatoon represented freight charges, while the remaining 34.5 per cent was the actual fuel value received. It was also pointed out that if the resources of the tymntry were developed as they should' be, the problem of labor f6r returned soldiers after the war would be largely solved. The carbonizing and brlquettlng of lignite would make it passible to sup ply fuel at any settled point In the province at a 'cost of not more than $3.50 a ton to the consumer. A paper'was submitted by R. D. Mc- Laurin, professor of chemistry at the University of Saskatchewan. He. also said that Saskatchewan's greatest problem was cheap fuel. A wide range of fuel development was outlined. Professor McLaurin thought that progress Would be proportional to research. He referred to the vast clay deposits of the province from which such products a^.prdjnary firebrick, brick, tile, pot,- tery alid seWor pipe can be, manufactured. There are also vast iron resources, __ (Special to The Dally News. VANCOUVER, 11. C„ Sept. 11.—"All thut I knonv is that Thelpcd to plug 400 votes In the byeleetlbn and I say this; they never traced half the pluggerii from the Seattle waterfront," declared Robert Raglin Gosden to an audlohde that filled seats, aisles, window seats and the entrance way totho largest hall in the labor temple last evening. The man who was charged with perjury by Mi A. Macdonuld' was giving his side of the plugging story and he gave it in an hour's speech which bristled with charges of evil doing by Liberal leaders, each accusation prefaced with the challenge that those whom he accused had their recourse In the law courts. A. prominent, local Liberal leader whom Gosden namedi was accused of having "definitely told him" he would give the speaker $2000 lo do nothing at all but. to go from place to place throughout the province "building up an organization similar to that working before the byelection" except on a larger and more scientific scale. ^ Another equally prominent leader lrr| the provincial Liberal party was charged with having offered Gosden $1000 to "skip bail" three days before his assize court trial iu June of last spring. The offer, Gosden said, was made In the parliament buildings at the capital. Gosden spoke with absolute frank- ness of the crookedness of his own ac- | tlvities, buthfr refused to take back a word of his testimony before the parliamentary committee in regard to the $50 payment by Macdonald at the Victoria post office nor any other part of his evidence before the legislators. Tho double row of automobiles outside the labor temple and the Woolen shirts in the hall gave evidenco to the mixed character of the audience which packed the auditorium, but ill fared it. with any man or woman who at tempted to interrupt. The meeting had been called, Gos den pointed out, to give him an oppor tunlty to explain his side of the .plugging before the byelection. He was giving his explanation in self-defense since tho speeches of Macdonald and Brewster were prejudicing everyone in the province against him and he would feel the effects of It when going to trial before the assizes In the fall. His liberty was at stake and he was fighting, for fair treatment by an honest jury. "Scott asked me if I could fill in a certain mimor, and 1 said I cquld. It was not necessary to pay their, boat fare, either," he continued, "What 1 wanted was enough money to send one man across the line , to Seattle, lo send one other man to Rev'- elstoko and to send one other man to Tacoma." , Ho wanted also to get another to put certain things on every freight car that loft Vancouver so that everyone of the traveling public that, did not ride on the cushions could understand there was'a'bit of change to be bad in Vancouver, and a lot of people had headed this way. ■Some of them, continued the speaker, had needed to dross the part on thel arrived in this city. Some of them had changed 10 times in order to look the parts they represented. Most of them had arrived on the morning of byelection day from a 50-mile radius of" the city. Nor had they traveled to the polls In automobiles as the Seattle pluggers .had. Most of .them had left the city the day of the election, going back to where thoy came from with this difference. One draft had gone to Victoria. What thoy hnd done there did hot concern this meeting, he said. Part of tho speaker's work had been with Scott and Macdonald. Macdonald had been the man through whom suggestions had come, he said, and these had gone through Scott. If Scott had any new move to make he would have to have It endorsed by Macdonald, Gosden declared. Gosden himself had not come In personal touch with Macdonald before the byelections, he said. "My work was to fill the gap for 1500 men who had gone away," continued Gosden. "Lists had been got out and ono copy of these lists had been given to Scott. Fifteen tiimdr, names hod been handed to Scott. The latter had issued these cards," (evidently the plugging cards) "and he had wanted to give me some of them, but I did hot need them." The instructions had been to fill In these 1500 absentees at the byelection. "We did not fill them all," explained Gosden, "but I can safely say we filled 1400 of them and we were not found out either. Sullivan with all his cleverness could get ho trace of these 1400."

LONDON, Sept. 11.—In the Rumanian theatre the Austrians are in retreat before the Rumanians In the Na- ■.ros and Toplitza valleys, while to: the south of Hermunnstudt the Rumanians have occupied the village of Hellntbar. Vienna admits a further withdrawal of the Austrian forces near Gyergyo, Heavy fighting continues in Dobrudja and there have boen small Infantry engagements along the entire Danube fronts, but in neither region has any Important change in position taken place, Bucharest Statement. BUCHAREST, Sept. 12.—The following official statement was issued last night: "On the northern and northwestern fronts, west of the upper valley of the Maros and Toplitza rivers, the enemy continued to' retreat.

VIENNA, Sept. 11.—The following official statement was Issued today: "Rumanian front—North of Orsovo our troops repulsed several enemy attacks. West of the Gyergo valley and Czik pur front was withdrawn somewhat." Tho people know tho record of constructive legislation which the Conservative government and the Conservative candidates arc asking the people to support with their votes on Thursday. _ On the other bund, what has Mr. Brewster done that would justify an elector in behoving that he would give British Columbia the progressive administration that It must have if It Is to be prosperous? Mr. Brewster's record hist session was one of criticism and obstruction. First came the effort to force dissolution on March 14 and prevent the government from putting constructive measures into effect. Then when the bills to stimulate mining, shipbuilding, lumbering and agriculture came before the bouse Mr. Brewster bud not a single practical constructive proposal to offer. Ho attacked tbe government measures but he had none of his own to offer in their place. It bas been the same since the campaign opened over three months ago. Mr. BreWster and Mr, Macdonald have toured the country. 'But they have not advanced one constructive proposal to lake the place of the government program they are asking tho electors to defeat. • When tho government brought down more than a dozen bills to protect the soldier and his dependents the Liberals wore equally empty of ideas of their own for the benefit of the men in khaki. They offered nothing except criticism of what the government was doing. Then after a constructive program hud been placed on the statute books air Mr. Brewster had to offer was the Brewster writ. He still had nothing to lake the place of the government's program but he said the whole thing was invalid and asked the courts to wipe it off tbe statute books. On this record of negative criticism and political obstruction, on this campaign of "tearing down," Mr. Brewster is appealing to the electorate. Ho possesses no constructive program, he has given no intimation that he or his fellow leaders possess the statesmanship to formulate one, yet he asks the people to support him and vote against the government and its constructive measures. Mr. Brewster is asking the electors to make the mistake of the dog in Aesop's fable which threw away the meat in order to grasp at a shadow.

Government Policy Aids Mlrieowner in Development of His Properties— * Industry is Encouraged. Mr. Bowser's statements concerning the progress of the mining business In this province agree with those which come from all the mining districts. This is not a mining boom. It is progress. Thero Is none of that speculative selling of mining shares which has been seen in other days. But no such productive activity and progress in mining has ever beon seen in British Columbia. , ■ The Bowser government took hold of •this 'movement in the right way and the right moment. Mr. Lorne Camp- bell, who has spent ids working 1 i 1— in tbe mining districts, was called to the ministry and placed over the department, of mines. For tbe fifty- time in Lite history of the province tho head of that department Is.An expert, and Tor the first time tho iVi'.nl.dor is able to give bis whole thn;,! to his department, lionoc In the first session the mines department brought down four or five (measures directly calculated to help the mining people, and to encourage mineral development. Hence the miniate? was able to administer this and other laws to tbe best advantage. As Mr. Bowser explained at Central Park and Ward V. this is only the beginning. We must have copper converters to do the work now done in the United States. This will come and come soon. Coast properties In the north and on Howe sound cal! for It.

Trails will De made for them as fast, as they show prospects that justify it. The minister of mines has had only eight months and he is doing for the province what he had previously done for the concerns with which he was connected.

LONDON, Sept. 12.—John Williamson of Cannock, a well known mining expert, who visited Canada us a member ot several royal commissions, Is dead. (Special to The Dally News.) CRANBROOK, B. (.*., Sept. 11.—A meeting of the electors of Moyie was held Fiiday evening ou the occasion of T. D. Caven's visit Lo thut town. A. Farrell was in the chair. Dr. .1. W. Rutledge contrasted the condition of the district as it was seven years ago witli tho present condition to show the wonderful development due In large measure to the untiring efforts of Mr. Caven during bis term of seven years in the legislature to always boost the district. Dr. J. H. King had represented Uie same district for eight years previous to tlie election of Mr. Cavon and it was a well known fact that the district bad practically stood still timing that period. There were poor roads, insufficient bridges, large areas settled upon but not served with roads which would assist tbe ranchers lo get iu and out from their ranches, Anyone wishing to travel from this province to Alberta or the United States had to do so by railway. Now, these conditions hud been remedied and every day brought automobiles from the states and tha prairie provinces. Tourists -were only loud in their praises of the good roads and more especially because of the fact that the country is so sparsely settled. These same good roads give the tourists, who are in many cases people with money for investment, an opportunity for Investigating tne mining, funning and lumbering poSadbilities of the Cranbrook ami other districts which u few years ago were unknown because no appropriations wero obtained with which to open up tho country. Mr. Caven has always proven himself ready to do his utmost to get any assistance asked for and it might be particularly mentioned that during the past seven years the Agricultural association and 'similar Institutions had been the recipients of assistance for fall fairs and other purposes which would encourage the farmers, in return for his assistance Cranbrook district is now dotted witli small and largo randies ranging from five acres, near tlie city of .Cranbrook to luVgo ranches of several hundred Acres on St. Mary's prairie. Every section of the district where yie settler has tuken up land has beon supplied with roads upon whicli be may travel to roach any part of the district, That Mr, Caven's and the government's expectations have been realized is evidenced by the grand crops which huve been grown on St. Mary's prairie and other parts of the district. At (Perry creek a.great many prospectors have been in need of a road to their pro parties and, upon their proving that their properties were.worthy ones, had been given the necessary road to haul supplies in to their camps. The Uesult Is that different properties are this year being developed which are showing very promising results. 'In spite of the howling of tho. Liberals and all their blue ruin talk ,lhe wonderful pus slbilities of ths district have alway; loomed clearly in the mind of Mr. C'av en and he has steadily gone ahead currying out what he was convinced was in the best interests of the district It was natural that Dr. King and hit, followers should feci jealous of the, record of Mr. Caven's achievements especially :foi\ the reason that his own record was in such striking contrast to Mr. CaVen's.

Undertaking; ^Second Time is Halted by Great Catastrophe (By Dally News Leased Wire.) 'QUEBEC, Sept. 11.—Tne huge central span of the new Quebec bridge whicli was to have finally linked up Canada's transcontinental railway, suddenly-buckled from some unknown cause ut 10: r*0 o'clock this morning while being hoisted into place between the two cantilever arms and slipped to the bottom of tbe St. Lawrence river, carrying to their death at least nine men. About 14 men were carried down into the water on the collapsing central span and others were thrown into the river from the cantilever arms at eihter side which suddenly relieved of the weight of the 5100-ton central span, snapped sharply upward and swung back and forth like a ship In a storm. All but nine men, according to the latest lists, have been accounted for, although some reports say that 10 are missing. A number of others are at hospitals, among the latter H. W. Macmillan, chief inspector of the work, who bas a compound fracturo of the leg. The lost span cost $500,000. List of Missing, The list of missing and probably dead, as compiled late tonight, Is as follows: Charles Sweeney, electrician, La- chine. Michael white, bridgeman, residence unknown. , Michael Regan, bridgeman, Cupo Rouge. S. Demers, bridgeman, SUlery. H. Bertram!, bridgeman, residence unknown, H. Vandal, bridgeman, Point Levis. ('. Bernier, bridgeman, residence unknown. IT. Lorachc, bridgeman, Capt Rouge. C. Cadorctte, Levis. Probably never in the history of Quebec has an event attracted such interest. The St. Lawrence was dotted with craft of all descriptions bearing spectators to the scene of operations. On the hills and along tbe shore on both sides of .the river were tbe crowds which came by rati, by automobile and oher conveyance:-,. Hundreds walked miles to see the finish of the great project. It was still dark when the fleet of vessels drifted along opposite Sillcry cove, awaiting the floating of the big span, which was resting imihore, supported on si.v scows, shaded by tlie hill behind, Only the puffing of tbe tugs told tlie eager spectators when the operation was begun, as it was too dark to see the span. A thick fug then bid the tugs and span. When the sun broke through the morning mist a cry went up tor the span was floated, Like trained soldiers, the sturdy tugs went about their business and the big steel frame was soon in tow on its way to Hie gap which It was to fill. Tho Druid, the Lady Evelyn and other vessels drifted alongside the span but If any boat came too elose the megaphone of Harbor Master Capt. Murray immediately ordered it to keep away. Spectators Go Home. At 8 o'clock the span was In plaeo under the cantilevers. For a while there,was a halt. The watching spectators craned their necks. Then one of the tugs gave the signal to mow. out; tlie rest look the cue and tho noise of tlie whistles was deafening. The big crowds on shore cheered madly as tho span held, on what looked like frail supports. Tlie worst was over. The engineers were pleased. The hydraulic jacks began their te- dlous work.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—With surface car transit virtually at a. standstill In Manhattan, the Bronx, Vonkers and parts of Westchester county and with Subway and elevated facilities affected more than at any time since the Interborough Rapid Transit strike was called lust Thursday, tlie traction situation in New York tonight assumed a more serious aspect. Labor leaders held conferences during the day on the .question of seeking a sympathetic strike among various crafts, which If successful' would call out 750,000 men ln tbe metropolitan district, but it was said no definite action could be expected for at least a week. The first demonstration of a sympathetic strike came today when union teamsters employed by two brick making firms quit their posts rather than haul sand to the New York Railways company power houses. 1 Violence in connection with the strike occurred at several points today and one serious demonstration was broken up only by vigorous action by '.he police reserves. This occurred when strikers piled cobblestones on the tracks, stopping a surface car. Stones were then buried at the ear until all its windows were smashed and parts of the wookwork demolished. A woman passenger was stunned when she was knocked down b ythe rush to get off the car. Arrests were attempted but no ono was seriously injured. The traveling public suffered more Inconvenience today than at any time since tbe strike started. With surface traffic virtually paralyzed great throngs sought tlie subway and station platforms were packed, ! Several women fainted In the crush and a few persons were knocked down In the rush to get aboard trains jammed to the doors, ^^^^™ PAGE TWO' THE DAILY NEWS TUESDAY, SEPT 12, 1916.

Cunliffe why be bad refused ..advertising space in the city street cars to publicity committees for the purpose of carrying mi their campaign^ on prohibition, declared last night that he did not consider such advertising matter suitable for exploitation in the city cars. The mayor stated that some time ago he bad refused an application made by the anti-prohibition committee for space, on tiio grounds that advertising of this nature might give offense to some of tbe eitl;.cns and that later, when approached by tbe prohibition party, having turned down one ho therefore refused tbe other. Had he known that both parties wished space in the cars, be said, he might not have refused, but thought that he would have. He considered that It was the best policy lo keep the cars and city property free from all advertisements of this character. Aid. Cunliffe declared that the space in the cars was for the purpose of bringing in revenue to the city and said that be saw no reason why It should not be used for any legitimate advertising scheme. He thought it re- gretable that tbe advertising had beon refused. Aid. I. A. Austin questioned the mayor's riebt to refuse advertising so long ;is H. P. Thomas was superintendent. The mayor replied thai be bad certain privileges, one of which was that of censor, which be would use as his judgment dictated. In this case he said ho did not consider it good policy tn sell space for campaigning purposes of any kind in tlie city carriers. Aid. Cunliffe and Aid. Austin were doubtful as to the mayor's powers tn interfere with the disposal of advertising space in tbe cars, to which his worship replied that ho was nuite certain of his ground nnd of bis powers so long ns be held office nnd further intimated that be would continue to act as he thought, right in the interests of the citizens. Tt was then moved by Aid. Cunliffe, seconded hy Aid. Austin, that in future advertising space in the streot cars be rented to any one applying for It at the regular rates, the subject matter to be used to be submitted to the superintendent of tho street railway and to the chairman of the street railway commit toe for their approval.

Most of the vessels turned and steamed for Que bee, while spectators on shore rushed homeward to a late breakfast. It was a success. • There could be no hitch. It was only a matter of time. Suddenly the massive central span, weighing 510 Otons, swayed to one side, wavered for an instant, then dove, end foremost, and in an instant had dis> appeared from view, leaving scarcely a ripple ori the water. It carried with it about 14 men. The spectators, now few In number, were horror-stricken. The gigantic steel structure had been before their eyes practically all morning, climbing upward slowly but surely. Now It was gone. Buried ln the same grave with its unfortunate predecessor was the connecting link of what was projected one of the greatest structural triumphs in years. The tidal waters of the St. Lawrence swept along, still unspanned, while men struggled for life on the surface. Several were picked up by tugs and motor boats which dashed to the rescue, ibut nine at least are missing. It is thought that 10 perished. Cause Unknown. P. J. Johnson, president of the St. Lawrence and Dominion Bridge com- panp, accompanied by a number of the engineers, inspected the anchor arms of the bridge this afternoon. MV. Johnson would not make any positive statement on the possible cause of "the accident. "Wo are at a loss to account for it thus far," he said. "The lifting apparatus Is still In place and is practically uninjured. It is hard to say whether the bridge slipped off its end bearings or whether the trusses of the span failed. I do not think I can express myself further than this." W. P. Updegraff, who represented the Watson-Stiftmun company of Alden, N.J'., who installed the hydraulic jacks, being engineer in charge of In- stalation of the bridge, is satisfied that his part of the work did not fail. "The jacks aro still in their posi tlons and. are practically intact. There was no weight on them when the span moved off, they being just getting ready to take hold again to life the Epan to the fourth notch. It is hard to say just whnt caused the accident. I may say, however, that nothing in the way of expense had been spared by the company to guard against pos sible mishap, yet the affair occurred.1 The sensation of those on the cantl levers when the span tore away from tho links was a terrible one. Cantl levers shook like a whip, creaked and swayed, but held firmly, proving their solid construction. Men Leap into River. A few of tho men working the jacks, fearing the whole structure was doomed, threw themselves Into the river. Bob Kramff, foreman of tho work on the links on the steel beams, suffered a minor accident previous to the crash and was replaced by Archie Ca dorette. Cadorctte was one of the men who jumped into-th^ river. He was rescued. Three other men who had been on the span and wero saved arc Jack Wilson, P. Jackson and P. Barbeuu. •j-tnifun ifiidonouid sua\ uosipnf Wilson was unconncious for some time and suffered a broken ankle and was taken to a hospital. Prank Williams, electrician, suffered a bruised side. ■Tames Bowers, bridgeman, who was working on the pins, had a narrow escape. But be stuck to his post and kept a comrade from jumping to al most certain death. Archie Cadorctte and Joseph Beau regard, who were working on the can tllever, also jumped when thoy saw the span go. They were rescued, First reports, much exaggerated, caused consternation, giving the list of dead at SO or flO. Then It dwindled to 20—finally figures from the St. Lawrence office brought out a missing list of 11. Sinco then two of the men have been located. Sonic of the engineers and officials bad narrow escapes. H. W. Macmillan, chief inspector of the work, is In tho hosiptal suffering from a compound fracture of the leg. He tried to jumi from tho girder platform on to the bridge but caught his leg against the steel. Also on the cantilevers were Engineer J. B. Sterling, who hnd a narrow escape, having his clothing torn from Ids back and Engineer Paul Davis, whose nose was cut, Planned in 1853. The idea of a railway bridge across the St. Lawrence at Quebec originated as far hack as 1853, when a New York engineer named Sereell made surveys, plana and estimates at the request of the city council of Quebec for a sus pension at or near the present site es timated to cost about ?3,000,000. Courage and capital were lacking to carry out the plan and the railway system of Cartada was 'built on the south instead of the north shore of the St. Lawrence which was eventually bridged at Montreal Instead of Quebec. The project lay dormant until 1882. The late M. W. Baby of Quebec obtained a charter at Ottawa to build the Quebec bridge on the new cantilever plan, just then coming into vogue. Associated with him in the project wns Alexander Light, a distinguished engineer, who hud just completed the cantilever bridge on the Firth of Forth at Edinburgh. After much delay and many vicissitudes the company was finally organized by S. W. Parent, with E. Barthe as secretary, a New York engineer as chief and B. A, Hoare as local engineer. The first attempt;at erecting the bridge ended disastrously ln the collapse of the structure and the federal government appointed a committee to examine the fallen structure, and make a report. The men comprising this hody were Henry Holgate, Montreal; Professor G. G. Kerry of McGili university, and Dr. Galbraith of Toronto university. Their report was so Instructive that a copy of It was asked for by practically every prominent Beat of learning on the continent. Another commission was appointed In whose hands was placed the undertaking, it was composed by H. E. Vautelet, chairman, of Montreal; Ralph Modjeskj, Chicago, and Maurice Fitz- maurlce, engineer'of tlie county cpuncll of London, England. Mr. Fitymaurlce•"• resigned:., and Charles McDonald, formerly of Onna- noque, Ont., btiVtor many'years one of the leading engineers of the United States, was undecided about going on the board Until such time as a contract had been signed. Many Bids Received. Tenders were received fro mone company in Germany, one in England, two ln\the United States and from the St. .Lawrence Bridge company, the last being a union of two strong Canadian companies. ' -i carry the National Transcontinental The contract was finally let to the St. Lawrence Bridge company for the superstructure on April 4, 1911. Contract for the substructure was let to M. P. Davis Jan. 10, 1910. C. N. Mon- serrat became chairman and chief engineer of the bridge commission and Mr. McDonald, was succeeded by C. C. Schneider of New York. The engineer- ingstaff heads were Phelps, Johnston & Duggan of Montreal. The brldfte was 'built primarily to carry the Natioal Transcontinental railway between the Atlantic and the Pacific, Ibut tlie following roil ways also will use it: The Canadian Pacific railway, the Quebec Central, the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, the Quebec & Lake£t. Johns, the Canadian Northern and the Delaware & Hudson. The dimensions of the bridge are: Length from shore to shore, 3239 feet; width between anchor buttresses, 1800 feet; length of central span, 640 feet; height of central span above the river, 150 feet; number of railway tracks carried, two street car tracks, two roads. The bridge has a channel span of flu feet longer than the Firth of Forth bridge, whicli until now had been tha world's record .In this aspect. The teel used in this bridge weighed 180,- 000,000 pounds and cost $17,000,000; the main pier masonry costing $1,500,000. Movie Man Witness. Among those who were in the Immediate vicinity of tho bridge when the central span collapsed were M. L. Ernest Ouimet, Montreal, who was taking moving pictures of the work when the accident happened. He said: 'We were in a. tug, close to the central span, taking a motion picture of the work when I heard something like the snapping of a huge cord. I looked above and saw tho south end of the span bend, then totter toward the south shore. Men were falling off the works like files on a cold day and I saw also a group of men who were on the anchor span and who were knocked off by flying debris. "Some of these we picked up while a score of small vessels and other craft were rushing to the scene, and which succeeded In rescuing the men we saw struggling in the water," REGINA, Sept. IL—A sequel to recent thieving in the city resulted tonight when the police raided a house In the city and arrested two women, Mrs. Adamson and Mrs. Macdonough, on a charge of theft. Cut glass, silverware and fancy work was recovered to the value of a large amount. 'Both women have been known as respectable citizens of Regina and their arrest has caused a sensation.

CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 11.—Announcement of a falling off In the United States vlBlble supply had a good deal to do today with- strengthening the wheat market, as did word of big export sales of United States wheat. The market closed unsettled.but % to l%c net higher, with December, at ?1.54% and May $1,65%. ' Oats lost % to %c and provisions 7 to 60c. At first the wheat market failed to hold up prices. The.1 reason was that the early advances were chiefly the result of a temporary absepce of selling pressure. Cautiousness on the part of the hears was decidedly evident for a time, influenced to some extent by the surrender of the Rumanian fortress of Silistria to the Bulgarians. Lightness of world shipments counted further against the bears and there were reports of a decrease in the total stock on nand in Great Britain. However, rains in Kansas, much needed for fall plowing, led soon to a downturn in values. For tho time being a total lack of export demand seemed to have developed, with a noticeable lessening of call from, domestic millers. It was not until just before the end of the session that' news arrived telling nf heavy export buying oi? the decline, the British commission alone taking 1,000,000 bushels. Shorts, in wheat ..rushed to cover when the United Spates ivisible supply total i was posted \ showing a decrease of fiflO.OOO bushels from the scanty surplus, and was followed by advices of a decrease of 2,382,000 Imshels In Canada. Again there was virtually no offerings, nnd prices advanced rapidly, but the flurry seemed aboutsat an end before the close. Oats sagged with corn. Late reports of a good export demand, however, caused something of a rally. Lower prices on hogs weakened provisions.

OTTAWA Sept. 11—The following has been received from-the Canadian general representative In France: "Canadian headquarters in France, via 1-rfmdon, Sept.—During the last week the artillery displayed increased activity. On several occasions sections of our front systems were subjected to short but severe bombardments and our rearward areas also were at times heavily shelled; Usually little damage was done. The retaliation of our artillery was invariably prompt and effective, covering the German trenches strong points and approaches. A few combined shots by our artillery and trench mortar batteries were organized. In one such instance heavy fire was maintained by our guns fot/over four hours on a wide front. Several enemy observation posts and guij emplacements were struck by our shells. One cleverly obstructed observation post near a hedge was,completely demolished by one of our sixty pound mortar shells. "Enemy working parties were more numerous and persistent than for many weeks, particularly opposite Observatory bridge. At several points casualties were inflicted upon them by our shrapnel. In one case our observors report ed thnt a large high explosive shell, had landed among' a party of ahout 15 nnd that the whole party appeared to be wiped out, "At night the Germans \yere suspicious and) uneasy. Bursts of machine gun fire were frequent, hut more especially in the northern section. "Our snipers claimed n large toll of victims nnd by patient alertness quieted numerous enemy snipers. Our patrols maintained their customary entanglements and visiting trenches and suspected listening ppsts at various points in No Man's Land. Few signs '61 hostile patrols were discovered. ' '"One night a patrol of a New Brunswick battalion observed a considerable party of the enemy nt work in the neighborhood of a small crater, close to tho German trenches. Our party withdrew unobserved, but returned shortly 'afterwards with a squad of bombers. The hogtlle party was taken by surprise and suffered considerable loss. "Another night a patrol of a British Columbia hattallon under Sergt. Howley located a hostile wiring post. Our patrol was well furnished with bombs ahd at once attacked. After a brief but ineffective resistance the enemy was driven back to his trenches. "A patrol of a Montreal battalion, returning to our lines in the southern section of our defenses, surprised three Germans In the neighborhood of our wire. The enemy promptly ran away, but by quick action our patrol succeeded in capturing one of them.

PERSONAL ATTACKS ON BOWSER GAIN LIBERALS NOTHING Personal attacks by the Liberals on (Premier Bowser could not be expected to meet with much sympathy from people who are more interested in the development of British Columbia and the maintenance of prosperity than in the venting of Liberal spleen against a political opponent. The campaign of personalities against the prime minister has descended to depths that have seldom been reached in a political campaign In Canada. Even forgery has been resorted to in efforts to besmirch his reputation. Tactics of this kind have never appealed to tlie people of this province. There.isnvidence all over the province that they are not doing so on this occasion. Personalities are a poor excuse for the Liberals' lack of a constructive policy. . VOTE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF MINING INDUSTRY. Kootenay and Boundary should send a solid * contingent of Conservative members to back up Hon, Lorne A. Campbell In his policy as minister of mines to stimulate the development of the mining industry. ^Farming, lumbering and every other Industry of the district and those employed lit it, benefit from mining activity. The people of Kootenay and Boundary desire to see it continue. Votes 3for tho Conservative candidates are votes in support of the policy pf development that Mr. Campbell, as minister.of mines in the cabinet, has inaugurated. «,, THREE SEPARATE ^BALLOTS TO Bj£ USED. THURSDAY. Thrce'.separatn ballots will be used In the election on Thursday. One will contain 'the names of the candidates. Another .will bo on prohibition and a third will be on woman suffrage. Voting, on each issue is distinct and separate. The question of candidates is not in any way connected with the questions of woman suffrage and prohibition. ! Neither woman suffrage nor prohibition is; a political issue. Conservatives, Liberals, Socialists and independents will be found voting for one or both issues. Conservatives, Liberals, Socialists and independents will lie found voting against one or both issues. WHAT THE LIBERAL LEADERS KNEW ON MARCH 14. -When M. A. Macdonald and H. C. Brewster on March 14 attempted unsuccessfully to force dissolution they knew something that the government did not know. They knew of the plugging in the Vancouver byelection. They had been told by honest members of their own party organization— men like Ashworth Anderson and D. E. McTaggart. If they could have forced the house to dissolve the province would not now be benefitting from the government's progressive legislation but the Liberal leaders would have avoided tlie investigation of the most nefarious election conspiracy in tbe history of Canada The development of the province #ould have been delayed but the clique in' control of the Liberal party organization would have been saved from exposure. THE SECOND CANADIAN WAR LOAN The new Canadian war loan, whose terms are placed before the public to day,- is certain to be a big success. To place savings in bonds to enable Can ada to continue to carry on its part In the war is a patriotic form of invest ment that, at the terms offered, Is also good business. '.The issue price of the new loan the same as that of the first loan, 97%. The Interest rate is 6 per cent on the par value of the bonds. The term is 16 years, compared with 10 years for the loan floated last Novem ber. , The additional five-year term Will make: the net interest return tiHfhtly., lower than on the first loan, but the investor will receive between G and 514 per cent on his money, which iSa.more than 2 per cent above savings bank rate. ..Kootenay and Boundary contributed a large suri to the first loan. While the average! In vest ment may be smaller oh this occasion on account! olf the''fact' jthat city and trust funds^were- largely - Electors, carry on. Vote for the Conservative policy and prosperity. It is only two days from election, but the electors have yet to hear a word of constructive policies from the Liberal leaders. Strengthen Dr. Rose's power to obtain for this district what it desires by sending him to Victoria backed by a sweeping majority. Thomas Uphill of Fernie is a.working man who knews the needs of, his district and its residents. He has the experience and the ability to champion those needs in the legislature. The industries and workers of the Slocan district have found in William :HJunter an able champion of their interests. He stands for progress in the mining, agricultural and other industries of the district. In the legislature last spring the Liberal members In the curse of their blue ruin speeches urged the government to do less road work this year. Fortunately for the settlers and the people of the country generally the government refused to be stampeded. With election day only 48 hours away it is an interesting speculation as to" whether tlie roorbach the Liberal spokesmen may be expected to spring will be another attack on the soldiers' vote, or another alleged "discovery" regarding,the Wallace shipyards. The electors of Trail riding, formerly the Ymir riding, have In .Tames H. Schofield a man who has served them faithfully. He will continue to work wholeheartedly and effectively for the district as ii member on the government side of the legislature to be elected next Thursday. R. J. Long, Conservative candidate in tlie Kaslo riding, when he goes down to Victoria Will do so as a supporter of a government which has done 1 great deal for all sections of that district. Kaslo is not going to make the mistake of being represented by John Keen in opposition to policies that are proving beneficial to nil classes of the community. A couple of months ago Liberals considered that the election of Dr. J. H. King in Cranbrook was practically certain. But that feeling of confidence, now that the people have had time to consider the government's policies and the work that Thomas D. Caven has Accomplished Cor. lhe-riding, lias disappeared. It was much the same In 191.1 when Dr. King ran as a Laurier reciprocity candidate and was snowed under right in his own district by A, s. Goodevo of Rossland. When the votes are counted Thursday night it will be found that: Tom Caven lias been returned for a third term as member for the riding. CITY ASKED FOR WML FUNDS Will Turn Over Proceeds of Debenutres to Board of Directors Subject to Approval of City Solicitor. It was decided by the city council last night after some consideration, on the motion of Aid. Alex Lelth, second- i ed by Aid. John Bell, to turn over the taoney realized by the sale of-the city's hospital debentures to the Kootenay Lake General hosplfal board of directors, subject to the approval of the city solicitor. The matter was brought before the council in a letter from the hospital board asking that the money be turned over to it for use in the construction of the hospital building, which Is now well begun. The council was informed that the money, amounting to about $25,400, less about $391 for expenses, was being held by the city In trust for the citizens, pending the explicit instructions of the council. The plan, it was said, was for the city to retain charge of the money instead of handing it over in a lump sum to the hospital 2 WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING. J Probably—Several. When Great Britain announces tlie destruction of 35 zeppelins she is careful not to say where. One fell in Saloniki. Some have been disabled over Holland or at sea. Some may have been destroyed in their hangars in air raids.

Aid. W. M. Cunliffe agreed with the mayor, saying that he doul city had any right to retain the money which the. citizens had vofed for the use of the hospital 'board.

Aid. I. A. Austin thought the hospital board s'hould have the money, but was far from optimistic regarding the chances of the city ever getting it paid 'back. Aid. Alex Lelth declared that the citizens had ordered the money to be raised for the use of the hospital board and 'that therefore the board should have the use of It and moved that It be turned over subject to the approval of the city solicitor.

Caven Speaks at Kingsgate— Record Is Contrasted With That of Liberal Opponent (Special to The Daily News.) CRANBROOK, U. 0., Sept. 11.—A largely attended and enthusiastic meeting of the electors of Kingsgate, Olenlily and l'ahk wns hold at Kings- gate Saturday to hear Thomas D. Caven, Conservative candidate, A. E. Watts and Dr. .1. \V. Rutledge explain the policies nf tlie government. About 100 people wore present. Mi'. Caven -was called upon as first speaker. The Agricultural Credits act most'directly affected that part of liis audience from the Glenlily Valley, so he devoted the first part of his speech to tbe benefits of that act. Now that roads had beon supplied to practically every fanner in the district, the next1 pressing need was that money should be advanced to the farmers with whicli to improve and clear their land. Buildings were needed In some cases, fences in others und'other improvements of minor Importance. Money could be obtained under the agricultural credits act to the extent of GO per cent of tbe valuation of their property as set by tho government valuators who had visited those who had applied to the government for'loans and who would call on those who might iu future apply to the government. This money may be secured from the government at 0% per cent for any term of years from five to 3(J%. Practically no expense would be incurred in obtaining these loans as it was unnecessary to ask the assistance of any lawyer in making application. To ihe railroad men and others engaged in employment which was hazardous, the speaker pointed out the great benefit of the Workmens Compensation act. Mr. Caven stated that It had been brought to bis attention that there were somo farmers in a new locality Made in ..Canada *fho sales of Noblemen Cigars have moro than fro-bled-tlurmg;-the- -past three months-'.' 1-ft.Ve you trleu* one" lately? »-'*" ' near Kingsgate who were In need of a road. They had taken up residence on this land last spring and, due to the fact that their needs had not been placed before the road superintendent early enough to have a sum set aside for the building of this road when the appropriation was distributed, no work had yet been undertaken. He bad always been given credit for giving tlie farmers good service in the blatter of getting necessary roads and could he depended on to have this now district supplied at an early date. Kingsgate was reaping the benefit of the lr|ink road built by the British; Columbia government which linked l|llil|o apd Washington with Alberta" TTirtl fcldnfaha1 and would mean a eoQt. slant flow of tourists nnssing by nut<5r mobile from one part to the other, t: The Liberal candidate in opposition to him had nothing to ofcfer but criticism and the assertion that it wns time for h change. This assertion had boen worn threadbare and the people knew very well that; tho Liberals have nothing lo offer or they would have explained a policy long ngo. Mr. Caven was given enthusiastic np- planse. # Dr. Rutledge dealt mainly with the development of the district during the period that Mr. Caven bad represented the district and contrasted the Improvement apparent to all over the conditions which existed while Dr. King represented it. A. TO. Watts presented the ense of the govornmont to lhe electors present as he would to a jury appointed to ludge between the claims put forward bv contending parties. On one band there wns a record of things actually accomplished and on the other not even a platform if the Liberals were elected but criticism of tne bluest kind. Tho Liberals bad been making n great fuss over the fact that the provincial debt bad now reached the $21,000,00(1 mark. Mr. Watts nomnnr- ed this amount with the $03,000,000 debt of the city of Vancouver to show thn1 there was no grounds for making such n fuss about an amount of $21.- 000.000 when the richest province in "ie whole Dominion was to be developed. iirfl Everything about the Suits for Fall is new and exceptionally attractive PROBABLY THB MOST NOTABLE FEATURE IS THE LENGTH OF THE SUIT COATS.

Campbell, minister of mines, for obtaining a grant of $200,- 000 for opening: up roads an! trails for prospectors and miners and for the lujf enabling prospectors to take up lapsed claims. He then referred at some length to the Brewster writ, the question of removing the Indians from their reserves and concluded by going fully into the question of the plugging lh Vancouver.

"Somewhere hi France" conies to the Nelson opera house on Friday, Sept. 15, for two nights. It will give local theatre-goers their first opportunity of seeing a realistically reproduced and graphically presented sample of trench warfare such as has been raging on the western battle front In Europe for over two years now. "Somewhere in France" is not a collection of motion pictures of sham battles troops training, but a real, -gripping war drama with some scones that ap proaeh the acme of realism in present ing an actual scene from one of tbe many battles In Europe. Presented by a capable company which includes in its ranks a number or noted, stars, and with a. charming love story cleverly interwoven with the many stirring incidents portrayed, "Somewhere in France" bas heen winning universal praise from the critics everywhere It has shown a,s be!nr[ one of the hejjt (war. dramas of the day. The action of the play br'sUes with tlie present military spir't of the British Empire, beginning with the busy bustle of recruiting and preparing for. an overseas (rip, and ending with the return from tbe front of tbe wounded beroes who hiu-e been fight- inK the Empire's battles. There is n great battle scene in the second and third acts in which a communication nnd front Hue trench— built exactlv as a section of tbe Ypres salient under the supervision of a wounded returned soldier, who spent some months there—and faithful in every detail, even tn the hnrbed wire entanglements and the installation nf trench periscopes and telephones.

(3781) Saturday Morning Spent in 8ohot>l ' Rooms at the Church With Indoor Games and Afternoon at Park Mombers of the Baptist Sunday school celebrated their annual picnic ln a novel manner Saturday. Plans had been made to hold the picnic in the city parka weather permitting, and in the basement rooms of the church if rain or threatening clouds made this arrangement impractieoble. Both plans were carried out with great success. At 10 o'clock" in the mornipg the members of the school gathered at the church. After the elder and wiser folk had consulted the weather signs in the sky, it was decided to begin tho day Indoors and therefore everyone turned heart and soul to round games and romping In the Bchool rooms. This was followed by a spread provided by the women of the church, after which the merrymakers left the building Into the street and there, with shelter close at hand in case of rain, pulled off a series of races for the younger folk. It was then decided to carry out the original program and visit the park. This was done and another program of r.acCH run off, after which the party, tired and happy returned to the church where busy hands had again spread tho tables with many loads of good things. Thus was an unpropitious day turned into a great success, acco.'ding to the unanimous verdict of the 80 odd members of the Sunday school who participated in tho celebration.

E. W. Busk Honored for Gallant Actions at the Front- Was Born in Victoria Among those who have recently been rewarded for heroism at the front is Temporary Lieut. Edmund Westley Busk of the Royal Field Artillery, a nephew of C. W. Busk of Deer Park, who has been awarded the Military cross. It is reported that by his personal bravery, example and fine leadership he kept his battery in action in badly damaged pits, most of the time under heavy shell fire and that he completely stopped one hostile attack of charging infantry and for three days and two nights took no rest, during which time he wus twice knocked over by the blasts from exploding shells. Lieut. Busk was born in Victoria in November, 1891 and at the time war broke out had just completed his medical course at Cambridge university, England. He enlisted as a private with the Royal Field Artillery and be fore being sent to France on active service in June, 1915, was gazetted a temporary lieutenant In charge of battery 84 of the 11th brigade. Ho visited this district in 1012, coming from the coast to take home his sister Gladys, who had spent the summer at Kokanee. This sister Is at present a Red Cross nurse, working under can-'J vas in France.

After having participated in enough filibustering and revolutionary adventures to have supplied the late Richard Harding Davis with material for a' whole series of his famous stories, H. A. Dixon of Comitan, South Mexico, has joined the 197th. Viking battalion at Nelson, having traveled north for the purpose of enlisting with the Canadian overseas forces. Mr. Dixon, who was born In Manchester, England, and is still a British subject, has taken an active part In most of the revolutionary affairs in Mexico within the past 12 years. He had a finger In the establishment of the Chinese republic, with a dash of Central American revolts, for good measure and says that the. tang of adventure to be had In the ranks of the British forces overseas led him to offer his services in Toronto about 18 months ago, at which time the regulations being more strict than at. present and he was turned down for a minor defect in his left eye. After being refused In Toronto he spent nine months with a party of South American millionaires, organized by a man named Gonzales of Montevideo, exploring the upper reaches of the Maderia river in the interior of Brazil, with a ylew to collecting data on the religions and beliefs of the ancient sun worshippers, whose-temples1 still, stand tn that.section of"South America. \ •vit i -During this trip, he says, he fought all ,the hardships possible for any man to meet, including exposure, fever, attack from hostile bands: of aborigines and the difficulties of travel in a little, known country. He declares that after coming out alive and hearty and military medical 'officer who would turn him down as unfit for active service "would be mighty hard to please." Officer irt Madero's Army, Mr. Dixon has In his possession papers authorizing his appointment as a lieutenant-colonel in the army of Ma- dero, and with the famous foreign legion at the first taking of Juarez In 1910, giving the real reason for the taking of the city as "because Billie Carrlngton wanted a bath." Carring- ton was a captain In the legion which lay for many days outside the city, in tho dust and heat "pottln gaway at it without getting any nearer to its capture. The English captain, getting daily more disgusted with his disheveled condition and allowing his thoughts to stray to tubs of hot and cold water, soap and towels within the city walls, rose up and led an attacking party which captured the town and with it the commander's bath. "Thus is the glory of revolution robbed of its romance," said .Mr. Dixon.. Entering the United States in the fall of 1910, for the purpose of securing arms and ammunition to be smuggled across the border to his revolutionary friends, Mr. Dixon, in association with John Poe, the American college man who took an active part in the various revolutions in Mexico, met Homer Lee, the hunchback writer and expert military theorist, who was at that time working "on the (Chinese .revolution that a short time later resulted in the final establishment of the celestial republic In Chinese Revolt. Under the direction of Leo he went to China, where he was offered the post of colonel in a Chinese cavalry regi ment,. together with the command of the riding school in Nanking, by the then provisional president Sun Yat Sen. He has ln his possession the. official letter written to him ia English, offering him the position.and signed by the president. After*, spending some months in China he states, that ho found that it would be impossible for him to master the language without devoting .years of,study to it and returned to the United States where he again threw.in his lot with, the forces of Madero, being appointed, a lieutenant-colonel in the general's army ahd taking charge of the quartermaster's department, supplying arms to the rev. olutlonlsts. Mr'. Dixon has.in his. possession a number of interesting documents bearing on various phases of the Mexican situation, one of which is the draft of a^ telegram written- by Francisco Villa himself, in Dixon's presence, "which,1 says Mr. Dixon, "should he sufficient to disprove the oft made statement that the famous bandit could neither read nor write." The telegram is written in a, clear, flowing, well formed handwriting and consists of unimportant Instructions in Spanish to one of his officers at another point. In their lot with the victors in any skirmishes that qceur and go gaily on, a ragged, tatterdemalion crew with no thought of patriotism or a cause,- their whole minds turned upon the possible chance of loot. This, he says, la.the condjtion. existing throughout. the whole of.Mexico. . Mr,. Dixpn is spending a few. days In the. city at the Grand Central awaiting transportation to Camp Hughes, where the Wf h battalion Is mobilizing. EXPLAINS EGG ACT J. R. Terry,, Chief Inspector, Credits Horsteac) With Getting Provincial Chicken Show for Nelson When seen at the Hume yesterday,, Chief, Poultry Instructor J. R. 'Serry stated that this was his first Vfsit'to Nelson since the eggs marks act had been passed, and that as ono of the inspectors under the act ho hnd found that'tho dealers, both wholesale and retail, were quite willing td comply with Its provisions as soon as they were made -known to them. . v ,,"It was. surprising," he remarked, "to find at the coast that the poultry ranchers, even in out of the way settlements, were fully cognizant io the requirements of the act Ipng-^ before the dealers in the cities to,whQm;'.they shipped their eggs. People m the coast cities are now able to buy eggs for what they arc. Such sign's ,as 'U. S. Fresh' and 'Saskatchewan Cold Storage' \yete never seen prior to.the passing of the act, and," he added, "consumers are showing a commendable, preference for provincial produce whenever obtainable." ., "For the benefit of ranchers in ,tho Kootenay unaware of the provisions of the act," said Mr. Terry, "it may be mentioned that when soiling eggs Wholesale tljey arc required to mark all cases or. receptacles, on side, top or end, wljth the words 'B. C. Fresh' or 'Cooking,' as the case may be, In legible letters." Referring to tho provincial poultry show to be held in Nelson in December in connection with the annual contention, of the British Columbia Poultry association, Mr. Terry gave ,it as his opinion that the event promised to be one of the biggest yet held.. To George Horsteud, the secretary, and former, president of the British Columbia Foult^ association, he ' gave credit for fcavlng secured the provincial show for Nelson, despito the fact that strong representations were made by the -Kajnloops Poultry association.

Although Mr. Dixon has a ranch of many thousand acres where he has made several attempts in his non-revolutionary interludes to raise .cattle, he states that he would rather he where "things are doing" than herding cows. Another reason given by him for the abandonment of his ranch is the prevalence of bandit bands which overrun the southern part of the country. Some ol- these bands, he says, number as many as 2000 men who pillage every district they visit. The peons In .the ranks of these bands, he says, never know who they are fighting for, or why.

M, C. A. * Thero being no technical schools in the province, the plan being followed, said Mr. Kyle, was to place^he men not totally incapacitated but unable to follow their former work, in business houses, factories and various industrial concerns throughout the province, in which they would be trained tor whatever trade they seemed most suited .fur, During their term of instruction^or, us Mr, Kyle described it, "apprenticeship," thej. men receive & maintenance allowed from tho Dominion government, in addition to wages they received from the firm by which they are employed. Many industrial concerns and business houses throughput the province, said Mr. Kyle, had. offered to take men and train them in their offices and shops and later to employ them at the regular established rate of wages for the work in which they might be engaged. He is on the lookout for firms of all kinds, 'Willing to enter this field of patriotic work and states that the plan has met with the, greatest success, citing many incidents of.men who have gone into business houses and factories since their return and who are now ritaking from $60 to $80 per month, with every opportunity for. advancement and increase of salary. . . Training at Esquimau In addition to this form of training, Mr. Kyle states that there are at the present time (17 men in the convalescent home at Bs.quimaU, who are taking various forms of vocational training.

The man is allowed, in most cases, said Mr. Kyle, to chose his own profession, although there are some who express a wish to take up work for which they are evidently not suited and these are urged to turn their attention to some other trade or business. At the Esquimau home classes are conducted in bookkeeping, stenography, carpentering and the higher grades of wood working, poultry raising and in automobile driving and the caring for of gasoline engines. A number of men from this department, said Mr. Kyle, had learned to be chaffeurs and were making good wages. One case cited, was that of a man formerly-a baker, who had boen severely gassod and Venose lungs were 'in such condition that he was unafte to return to his old trade,"-but could work at an outdoor Job. This man while at the convalescent home, he said, took the classes in aiftomobile driving and later a remunerative position was found for him as a chaffeur. . "Not alone is the work of training tho men calculated to make them self supporting," said Mr, Kyle, "but it also has a therepuUq. value, for by keeping their minds and hands 'busy, and fty giving each patient a daily course in physical training, the men are taken out of themselves, their troubles, their memories of the battlefields of Flan ders and given a healthy outlook on the future so that optimism takes the place of the despondency from which so many of them suffer when they arrive hiome maimed' and'wounded. BOYSloWIl MINING TUITION Provincial Government Would Assist Schools in Establishing Practical Mineralogy Courses, .Says John Kyle "Situated in the heart of a mining district, the wealth of which is beyond all computation, it is of' vital importance that the boys of. Nelson'should be provided with ah education in practical mineralogy," 'said John Kiyle, organizer of technical education fori the provincial government," who is visiting the city and is a guest at, the'Hyme, "Such a course could oe, taught In the high school, with the assistance of a special grant Which has been provided for by the provincial government," he continued, "ahd should be part of every boy's school course, If the development of ' this section of Canada by Canadians is to be. carried forward. The boys of. Nelson andjither cities hi ttys district are leaving school with In. most' eases, absolutely1' np knowledge of the methods of determining-the existence'of the lavish store of wealth that nature,.has placed'beneath their feet as they'huht'and play in Lhe woods and hills and It is aafc to ?*z mat toe last. oS wmis&l koa.fl: edge of minerals and their values is holding back the progress of this/sec? tion of the province to a tremendous extent. Until the growing generation is trained to know the resources of their local surroundings, progress in this direction will be materially retarded." Government Help The establishment of such a course, he declared, lay entirely within the province of the local school board. 'If the city trustees, lie said, desired to establish a course in mineralogy in its school, the. provincial government stood ready to pay 75 per cent of the cost of equipment and to supply $420 yearly toward maintaining a teacher of this subject. While Mr. Kyle did not un- der-estimate the value' of the courses in tpanual training at present established, he stated that instruction suitable to the needs ofl developing the local Industries, of which he considered mining to be the greatest, should take first place in determining the studies for the hoys in the schools. Mr. Kyle will urge the establishment of classes In mineralogy' in the Nelson schools. Mr. Kyle, who has been in tho service of the Vancouver board for the past 11. y,ears, is regarded as an expert In vocational training and is thoroughly posted on the various needs of tbe different, districts of the province, through his research work In the interests of the provincial government. He is In charge of the vocational training of returned disabled soldiers for the military hospitals commlssion.on which subject ho will lecture before the meetings of the Kootenay-Boundary Women's institutes today and tomorrow in the Y. M. C. A. He states that he teels the need of practical training in the schools and that he is glad to see that manual and domestic training has been Included ln this year's courses in the Nelson schools, but he says the advantage of the course in mineralogy which he advocates can not be overestimate!] and should be given the serious consid. eratlong of every.citizen. . . tfM2*TT>* "Where Evorybody Goes." , Tonight 7 to 10:30 "Heavy Villains" Thre.
