Facing absolute subjection at the hands of the advancing Germans, the Russian premier and commander in chief have taken what steps they could to Initiate at least a nominal defense against the Invaders of their country.

S. It Bitterest Disappointment of War, Says Daniels. ' (By Daily News Leaaed Wire.) NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The bitterest disappointment of the war for tho Prussians has been tho shattering of the "fatuous belief" that the labor of the United States could be stampeded by "Inslduous propaganda," Secretary of the Navy Daniels declared In an address hero tonight. Speaking with Samuel Gompers at a patriotic mass meeting arranged by the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, Mr. Daniels predicted th'at labor will not swerve from the patriotic ideals which have actuated it thus far and that when the war is over It will have won its own fight an well. "It is," said Secretary Daniels, "an open secret—I can talk about it freely now—that tho real hope of the Prussians that America would never be effective in the war lay In Us fatuous belief that labor could bo so Irritated by insidious propaganda, so misled by hired agitators as to insure nation. wide strikes, almost upon the declant tion of war. Far bitterer than tho failure of the submarines to sweep the seas has been tW failure of the Ger man spy system to tie this great republic hand and foot by stampeding labor, organized and unorganized, Into somciMcj very nearly approaching, a social revottition. "Labor will continue Its same wise policy and when this war is aver it will have won Us own fight as well. No hidebound capitalist uf that type which is rapidly disappearing In this enlightened time, who mnde the name of 'capitalist' something of a reproach, will dare then to rise and seriously announce his belief that labor should' be suppressed with an iron hand. He will have no standing in the court of last resort—public opinion." For capital and labor aro beginning to understand each other and are finding each other not one tithe as bad as they have been painted. Cooperation Pledged ' 'We are getting together and when we get together and the last mutual understandings nnd suspicions aro cleared' away, not alt the power of the German army, not all tlio thunder of the German guns, can shako the triumphant progress of real democracy throughout the whole world." Resolution's were adopted by the 2000 union men present pledging cooperation the war work. "We once, more declare our steadfast loyalty to America's enlightened cause," said the resolutions. "We recognlzo in this great struggle at arms a war thai is essentially labor's war—a war of the useful people of fhe world against agents and Institutions of tyranny.and oppression—that wo are resolvod to remain witjj this struggle to Its victorious conclusion." ' Determination of the American labor movement to havo no dealings with enemy nations as Jong as they remain autocratic was warmly commended. Cannot Talk Peaoe Now Tn the name of American labor, Samuel Gompers declared, "I say you cannot talk peace with us now—you cannot take part In the international conference. Either you smash your autocracy or wo will smash it for you. Get out- of France, back from BeU glum, back from Serbia and back to Germany; then you talk peace." Charges Made Estate is Being Improperly Used ■ for Profiteering (By Dally News Leased Wire.) VANCOUVER, Feb. 22.—The storm lest meeting ever held by the Domln Ion Trust creditors was concluded this afternoon with two resolutions directed to the court, virtually the same, declaring that the cost of liquidation ts a scandal and asking that some means be put forth by the court to put an end.to the same, charging that the estate is being used improperly for profiteering purposes by the accountants nnd lawyers engaged in the settlement of the case. The meeting was called by order of Mr. Justice Murphy to consider the proposal of Andrew Stewart, the liquidator, to devote part time to the affairs of the Dominion Trust. For two hours the meeting raged while tho affairs of the liquidation were being discussed and not a voice was raised lu defense of the liquidator, who was in tho room. "The liquidation is a bigger-scandal than tlio failure Itself," declared E. B. Deane. His statement was followed by another that "tho liquidation has been carried on under the direction of tho court; let us hand the whole rotten mess back to the court." As for getting a 5-cent piece out of tile wreck nearly every speaker said they bad .ibandoned even tho small hope, but they did want lo see the thing wound up so that lawyers might not further glut themselves. ,,[., ,H. Lawson; solicitor for* tho I creditors, gave, it as his figuring that ! tho law costs would aggregate $100, 1000. Lawson Is resigning, giving as his reason that he, does not consider that he can earn money for tlie creditors and he wants no further, money from the estate. Liquidator Stewart entered a long explanation of how expenses piled up. gradually absorbing all monies In sight and going also Into tho personal insurance fund of former Manager Arnold.

' HUNS- MAKE BELGIAN BOYS WORK BEHIND LINES Students Taken from School—Flemish Deputy Fined for Inciting Spirit of Opposition. (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Franck was taken before a military tribunal and was threatened with deportation, the despatches said, but de- spito the German concern over the spread of the movement against the authority of the self-styled council of Flanders, this threat was not carried out. The judgment declared that since the deputy was charged with having incited a spirit of opposition this was the last time that he could hope to escape with a fine. Commandeering of men for work behind the German lines continues to grow, tho despatch said. At Renalx, on industrial town in eastern Flan- dors, 360 young men were soized, many being token from the streets. Some" had fled and the Germans threatened to take old men unless the young ones returned. Students were taken from an en glneerlng school at Mons and sent to work at an aviation camp, while In Luxemburg, more than 600 young men have been taken from villages for military work.

LOOKING AFTER THE ftETURNED SOLDIER. '■ Tn times of peace the allied nations fallod to prepare adequately against war and they have Buffered severely for their neglect. They are not mak* ing the same mistake ln regard to preparations for peace. While prosecution of the war must have first call upon the united energy of the allied peoplea the importance of being ready for meeting peace conditions is' re celvlng a great deal of attention. j Canada ls laying plans for the after the*war conditions. A problem of first importance in this connection is that of returning the discharged soldier to civil life. I The Dominion government lias just created a new department, headed hy ;Sir James Lougheed and F. B. McCurdy, which will have charge of thi. .work. It will make provision tor the ■ reeducation'of returned men who need or desire it and for securing employment for returned men of all classes, .whether injured in the war, reeducated •or not'. Preliminary work along these ; lines has been carried out by the Do-! minion hospitals commission and th. new organisation, with its wider scope 'and broader powers, wilt, on a scale commensurate with tho rapidly growing needs, carry it on. The experience of'Senator Lougheed on the hospitals commission and of Mr ,'MdCunly as parliamentary secretary of the depart ment of militia will fit them especially for the great undertaking to which they have been appointed. scientific basis. It. ha$ been found that except In extreme cases the body, if properly built up and its strength conserved and enhanced, will throw off the disease. Good food, adequate sleep and rest periods, thn correct amount of exercise In accordance with the nature of the case and the application of sanitary methods of living are curing thousands of cases of a disease which at one time was considered to be the death warrant of almost everyone who developed it. Tuberculosis should be fought In British Columbia on a big and courageous Way. Money ts no object when lives are to be saved. Save food for the allies overseas. The only klnd'of spy that Kootenay- Boundary believes in is the Northorn Spy. An American professor says there is no longer any Who's Who in Russia. Worse than that is the fact that no one can tell What's what in that country. A British minister declares that he does not know whether Russia ts a friend, an ally or a neutral Neither does BusBta. A. G. Gardiner of the London News, who is attacking Lloyd George, is the same pacifist A. G. Gardiner who in 1914 wanted Great Britain to desert Belgium and give Germany a free hand to wreak its will on the world, WHAT THE PRE88 18 SAYING | More Bitter Sorrow Ahead. ■Russia may be sorry now, but that s nothing to the regret Russia later on will feel because it did not remain faithful to the entente alliance against the kaiser evil.—Butto Miner. PAGES FROM BELGIUM (By A. A. Nl.) One often sees some such announcement as this In the papers: "British official. Our airplanes yesterday, dropped bombs upon X. Photographs taken show that all the objectives-wore hit, considerable damage being done to the aerodrome, docks a?*d gas-works." . . ' . ■ "• -.■ This Is generally followed by:. »"German official. British airplanes dropppd bombs yesterday, upon X. Eight Belgians were killed and 22 injured. No military damage was caused." A letter from a Belgian throws a little light upon the discrepancy between these two reports: "Ghent," he writes, "ls visited nightly by the allied airmen—their objectives are Port Arthur harbor, .the St Denis flying ground, Westren . gas works, St. Peter's station and- the Neyde railway. Immediately on news being received that an allied air squadron is in sight, an enemy machine is sent up and drops bombs indiscriminately In the midst of the civilian population, with the ever-recurring sad result of many innocent dead and wounded. This ts authentic news from Port Arthur, Ghent. The next day tho Activist (pro-German) press announces with crocodile tears the fact that many Belgians have been killed by their own compatriots and allies. On the other hand the anti-aircraft guns aro maneuvered by such fools that many of their shells are responsible for much death and destruction pt property; this, too, is accredited to the allied airmen." It sounds too much, like the German wny not to bo. true. Writing of one particular raid the same authority says: \. .:.*.' "The building in which the women and chlldrief^ were quarantined for four months, prior to their departure for Holland-was destroyed but there wero German aviators aloft at the time and every man of Ghent who speaks tho truth acknowledges that it was the Germans who hit this school." \a. On this occasion one- was kilted, but photographs wero published through German agencies in Holland and elsewhere, showing thp damage done by the wicked allies in Ghent. It is ah. easy game, which the German ts fitted to play well. There is no risk attached, Indeed, even at the points of'teal-danger; the allies'objectives, the .isk to the German Is kept well in hand. ' "Two hundred and five Frenchmen," says our Belgian, "from Roubaix and TotiVcolng, who refused to work for'the Boche*** In France have been sent to Zeebrugge to work in the harbor there,; nt otte of the most dangerous points,, dolly exposed to allied air tatds."

CLARK BELL, FAMOUS AMERICAN LAWYER, DEAD (By Daily NeWs Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Clark Bell. one of-the oldest members of the New York Bar, died of heart disease as he was leaving the Union League club here late today, Mr. Bell was president-, of the Medico-Legal society for 16 years and founded the American Congress on Tuberculosis, He represented the United States at the international medical congress in Paris In 1900 and again in Lisbon in 190C.

Pa—I don't know whether it's a nine or oighteen-hole golf course." SAVING LIBERTY FOR THE FUTURE ALSO. i Lord Mllner is right when he lays emphasis upon the fact that' the allies are waging war primarily to save \ their democratic civilization and 1th 'ferty from destruction at the hands of the German junkers. It is a defensive war. . It is, however, none the less true that the allies can only make com pletely effective* their"defense of the principles of justice and freedom and preservation of public law for whlah they stand by destroying German milt tarism. In that sense it is an of fen aivo war. ** Victory for German militarism would inevitably place the world under subjection to ideas which are utterly repugnant to and destructive of the democratic ideals under which the people of the British. Empire and the allied nations live. It ts against that victory that the allies are fighting. Their war is a war of immedate self- defense. . But it is something more. The allies are fighting not only to preserve themselves and their freedom for the present time but they are giving the best of their blooh in order to make democracy safe in the future. Unless it is crushed now the bloody hand of Hun kultur will be for ever -reaching out to crush the ideals of freedom which it now menaces. Lord Mllner Ib right, but the allied peoples are waging war not only to preserve themselves but to make the world safe for their children. A CONFERENCE THAT WILL GIVE GOOD RESULTS. i Having flrsf called the labor leaders of.the country into conference, taken them into its confidence, the Dominion government next arranged conferences with heads of the- farmers' organizations of the country, with equally favorable results. Now tho women of the country are to consult with the war cabinet .That Is a very wise step. In matters of food conservation and the employment of -women in work for which men are not available no one can give more valuable advice than the women of the country. The government will gain the benefit of a great deal of practical advice and the leaders among women who are to visit Ottawa will return home with an understanding of what Is practical for the government to undertake and what Is impractical that could not be gained except at a round table conference such as that which Is to be held.

FORMER 8N0W8H0E TITLE"~~ HOLDER, J. 8CHOLE8, ILL TORONTO, Feb. 22.—John F. Scholes, one of the famous old-time sportsmen of Canada, Is seriously ill at the general hospital, suffering from stomach trouble. He ls 75 years Old. Years ago, Mr. Scholes was a champion snowshoer and an ' amateur heavyweight boxer of note, meeting ln exhibition bouts. such notables as John L. Sullivan and Jake Kllrane. It was announced in advance of the provincial premiers' conference at Ottawa with the dominion government that the' question of transfer of the public domain to the provinces was to be considered. But the report of that meeting Indicates that the conference closed without any formal discussion on the subject. There was a later Interview between the provincial premiers and representatives of the fed- ereal government on the subject but it would appear that no definite policy has been formulated. The prrsent government at Ottawa is not pledged to transfer the public domain in tho prairie provinces, but it was understood that this question would be considered and that the time was opportune for such action. A significant resolution was passed at Winnipeg by the great war veterans in which they take exception to the proposed transfer of public domain to the provinces on the ground that such transfer would Interfere with the carrying'out of the soldiers''lltfld "Settlement scheme. The soldiers served under the Dominion government and it is to that government they will look for any scheme of land settlement in the same way they look for pensions. This is a logical position for the veterans to assume and, as was pointed out in the Phoenix in a discussion of this subject recently, any transfer of lands and land settlement policy should involve an agreement and understanding as to the manner'ih which the provinces would "cooperate together In the administration of such lands and their settlement. At the prese.it time there is harmonious relation between tlie federal government and the governments of the prairie provinces and tt would bo highly desirable that such transfer be made, seeing that conditions are so favorable. And as the provincial governments have already shown themselves in sympathy with the public demand for fair and generous treatment of soldiers, they would no doubt be ready and willing to cooperate with the government in putting into effect the land settlement scheme as it may be worked out. At tho time the bargain was entered Into between the Dominion government and the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta as expressed In the Autonomy act 'and t'lnanolui terms associated with that act, there were certain advantages granted, to tho provinces In lieu of their lands in the way of increased annual grants. There was also the added advantage of the strong immigration policy which the Dominion government carried out and from which these provinces gained direct and favorable results. . — The war has produced unforseen effects, has turned the tide of political questions In unexpected directions, and it would not be surprising if th's issue raised by the Great War Veterans shold prove to be highly important In its relations to land settlement and transfer of the public domain.—Saskatoon Phoenix. | GERMAN8 IN UNITED STATE8 | 8ERVJCE. How ls it that so many men of German birth or extraction are permitted to enlist In..the army and navy.of tho United States? Do we find any Anior- icans in the Gorman army or navy? That not a few men of German birth or extraction considor their oaths cf allegiance to the United States but mere "scraps of paper" is constantly being shown. Hardly a day goes by without bringing news of a Go-man, connected with some branch of the public service, being arrested on some charge of disloyalty. Recently thero came a report of a German In the United States army trying to persuade his comrades to desert ard go with him to Texas, ln which state, he said, he knew a German lady who would give them funds to go-to Mexico, where they could not be called upon for military service. He was arrested. A day or two later a newspaper contained a significant Item concerning a German whose mother resides In Germany, whose father Is said to be tn the quartermaster-general's corps ln Germany, and whose brothor also ts In the German army. The man who emigrated, according to the account, arrived ln the "United States in 1914,. and took out citizenship papers in Chicago. It seems to have been assumed that this latter act mado him a loyal American, for he was allowed to enlist In the army, and became sergeant- major ln the divisional adjutant's off* flee ln the headquarters building at Camp Lewis. He was arrested becauso of the disappearance of important mil-. itary documents and the disclosure of Important military Information. He was put in prison, but that fact did not restore the (mportAht documents, or recall the military Informaflon. ■ Tho authorities are careful to guard the waterfronts, arsenals, and territory around the camps, and if any Garman Is found within the barred areas he Is dealt with by the government. Why not exercise equal care concerning the rank and file, and the ships' crews? What Is to be expected, if men of German birth or sympathies are to man United States ships, or their wireless apparatus, 'but' that1*they will give aid and comfort to the enemy? And yet, even in such curcumstances, people wonder how secrets leak out. Is th" United States to be considered "soft" forver? Germans can, and do, within a few months after entering 'lhe United States, change their names to something "more American," and gain admission to the aviation or radio schools, or to the army or navy. The citizens* of the nation could probably stop this by demanding a thorough Investigation of the camps and training schools and the expulsion thereform. and from the army and navy, of all men of German birth or of known German tendencies. There are enough loyal Americans to take the places of the disloyal.—Christian Science Monitor. GOOD RESULT8. Moro than .thirty thousand men have already been added to the Canadlin overseas .army.as a.result of the Military Sen-ice act In 3 operation. This does not mean that tl#c full number of men available ln Class 1 has' been secured. As a matter of fact there are many thousands of appeals for and against exemption yet to be heard by the judges, and when, thes_ have been decided there will be a very considerable addition to the total. When the call was first made the authorities were of opinion that all the men needed would be secured from Class 1. Nearly half the total of men required under the act have joined the army sinco Sept. 1 last, either by draft or voluntarily. It is possible that the 100,000 aimed at will not be reached by the first call, owing to the fact that for the purposes of greater production many of the available men in Class 1 are being exempted for farm and oth?r essential production work. There can be no objection taken to that. Premier Borden* annou-c-s that there has been no talk of making a call upon second class men—married men and widowers without children between the uges of 20 and 34. In thei judgment of the Herald, It would bo just as well If this class were left Uncalled until the third class has been drafted, should there be need for another call at all. In the third class are single men and,, widowers without children between the ages of 35 and 15. It seems only reasonable that these men should be called before any fathers of families of the second class. Meanwhile tt Is good to hear from the Canadian Press corresponde ->t With the armies nt the front that the Canadian forces in Flanders ' and elsewhere are now stronger thar over before as a i*esult of tho operation of the Military Service act. This is as it should be and the fact that it Is so justifies the, action 0*5 the country In endorsing compulrory service. All that is needed now is strl-t and Impartial enforcement of the compulsory service act, which the Herald believes will be. given.—-Calgary Herald. .

It is quite possible, says a writer, that there, are more tender fecll ga hurt daily hy the proffer of unsolic t.d advice than by deliberate or carelessness unklndness, more warm likings for people suddenly chilled by that ostensibly friendly act than, by any gross betrayal. And it is not cnly the supersensitive person who resents unsolicited advice. That free gift is annoying to anyone. If you will consider er the men whose profession it ls to give advice, the lawyers and doctors, you will observe that those who are most successful and trusted are shy about advising anyone on any sublet unconnected with their profession. Their tolerance of habits of thought and methods of doing, th ngs that are not their habits and methods ls astonishing.

Of course, no one should shrink from unpopularity where his duty is concerned. But the amateur giver of advice is prone to mistake the expression of an Inherent "bbsslness" for tlie call of duty. He issues his corrective comments with satisfaction in his ability to see an error and to point put q,, better way. He betrays the'sense of superiority, which is, to others; the Most'.'obnoxious: of all the senses. If the giver of advice really felt pain or discomfort at having to offer the suggestions, the advice, however .-unwelcome, would not react so unfavorably upon the relations between giver and recipient. Very seldom, however, Is it Is-ued in a spirit of reluctance. There is usually something smug and consc'ously. efficient about the expert In advise. The wise man makes allowance for human perversity. People would rather learn by their, own mistakes than be steered, however capably, by their clever friends. OUR TWOFOLD U1FE. Every man is conscious that h" leads two lives—the one trivial and ordinary, the other sacred and recluse; one which he carries to society and the dinner table, the other in which his youth and aspiration survive . for him, and which is a Confidence btween himself and God. Both may'be equally s'neere, and. there need be no contradiction between them, any more than In a healthy man between soul and bodv. If the'hlgher life be real and earn.st, its result, whether in literature tir affairs, will be real and earnest, top. But no man can produce gr 3at things who Is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself, who wou'd not exchange the finest shoWv'.for the poorest reality, who does, not so love his work that he ls not only glad to give himself for it, but finds rather a gain than a sacrifice in the surrender. The sentlmental'st does not think of what he does, so much as of what the world will think of what he does. He translates should ' into would, looks upon the spheres of duty and beauty as alien to each other, and can never learn how life rounds Itself to a noble completeness between these two opposite, but mutually sustaining poles of.what we long for and what we must.—James Russell Lowell.

In Woman's Realm IGNORANCE OFTEN CAUSE OF WASW Notwithstanding ihe war,, and the special need for economy which war has brought, ■ Canadians are. wasting. at W tremendous rate..- We really do not Intend to waste but,'because the present generation has been so generously provided for, it does not know what saving means; says a writer In the Canadian Food Bulletin, which is published under the Authority of ..the food control board. \'*\ - Waste is simply not saving things which are useful, it arises largely from the fact that we do not know what things are. useful. Our great national Ignorance is in connection with things whloh now go into the discard. The waste of these things ls so great that If It could be itemized and aggregated It would stagger us. When we read, not long after the war broke out, about the Germans commandeering eaaetroughs, old kettles ma roofing; and even church images —anything containing-, copper—for the no king of munitions; when we read ibout them saving grease and rags, my waste paper.and old rubber, even ho rubber tips of pencils; when* wo cud of them being,put on strict food rations—we thought we had them beaten, But it is this great national economy that has saved Germany until the present time. . Wasteful in Small Things As children- we were puzzled with the question, "Where do all the pins in the world go;to." By and by we .earned that when a pin falls it slowly ^integrates .and finally becomes part of the soil..' -The .same is true of tt hundred otheisllttle things of universal use; They are manufactured by the millions every minute of the Jay and after brief use, are lost to us, Such, loss involves waste, and In eemingly small matters of this kind Canadians are more wasteful than almost any other people in the world. We are also wasteful in other ways, ind it Is well to remember that, directly or Indirectly, every form of waste has' a bearing upon the food problem. . Watte U Not Wilful The great mass of Canadians have Always found the means of livelihood aasy. We' are not.ll^e the" Get-Maty? and French and Be'gians, forced by necessity to make the most of. things' just at hand to intensify efforts of production.. Wilful wapte mokes woeful want; but Waste!is not wilful in ninety-nine cases out q_.ii hundred. It Is the result of thoughtlessness or of Ignorance or of lack of organized opportunity ,'or all 'together. ". Saving of food, reduction of waste, institution of other things for things essential to our allies—these are part of the Gospel of ""A'ar-Wiiming. Sav- ng is another form of production. You cannot always produce, but you can always save. The thing that Is saved takes the place of the thing that cannot be produced. We.waste food In many ways: In peeling potatoes, the loss is 20 per cent,/ In stale*bread. In bread crusts. In table crumbs. In kitchen garbage. In the fata of meats. In meat and chicken bones. In the sour milk and buttermilk, that is thrown away. In fats which we neglect to render. In eating more than we really need. In eating the wrong kinds1 of food. In frying meats and not saving the fats. .":•' In net substituting other foods for the beef1, wheat and bacon's which arc needed;'ov^rtjeas.. In inipropor cooking.'

It was not then possible to secure such a convenient and absolutely certain provision as our Monthly Pension Plan, by means of which an average deposit of only a few dollars a month would now return them $50 a month for the rest of their days; Why Not Pension Yourself? .... , It is a good idea to "take stock" of your present financial position—to size up your personal affairs and decide on a plan for the future. Our New Pension Policy It guarantees that upon your reaching a certain age in life, you will receive a monthly cheque for $50.00 or more, as you may now decide—and this monthly payment cannot cease as long as you live. { Further Guarantees If you should die before having received the payments for at least ten years, then the balance will be paid to your estate or to anyone you appoint. Or, if you should die before reaching the age at which your pension starts, the monthly payments will be made to your beneficiary for ten years. Positively, these cheques will be issued by the Canada Life, absolutely guaranteed, whether you live or die. How Can We Do This ? Because we have developed a new and special plan; one that combines all that is best in annuities, pensions, and life insurance.

It Was a steady but gradual ascent all tbe time; tbe timber was heavy and beautiful, the autumnal tints on poplar trees and fruit bushes -gave Just the needed touch of color. Added to the beauty of tbe foliage ■were high banks of moss In varied ■hades of green and bronze, and the bright scarlet of the pigeon berries -was seen along the trail; a stream ■tame rushing madly down the mountain side, as If to retard one'- pro- <rcss. but the usual "stennlne stones" •were there. I already felt repaid by ffiy first hour's climb. Mount Stephen and Cathedral. could be seen to advantage at this point and needleas to lav the summit of the latter Interested me., for khad not. forgotten my 'Irv-n boursVlImb to reach It.

I Immediately took a short cut over some rock and shale, think Ine It .would soon lead to my wonderful view, but alas! nothing but dense timber waB ahead After sever.*-! attempts the trail was found and I' wns a etendy climb till another rldce loom d up. As Mount Burgess was now on my left and I was walk- Ins along the base of the summit. «nd could see the sky line between gome sera-rev trees (they were now fewer and farther between) I knew It was no dlstunre to my summit.

They are of such Import The first snow-capped peak appears—a few more steps are taken when a glacial bung summit comes Into view;' then more peaks aith their snow fields, even the crevasses were dlscernable, another few steps and,the summit Is reached; never as long as I live shall that moment be forgotten; looking ahead for fhe summit I little dreamt of the view behind.

The surf-ce vessels, which continue to maneuver at full speed In the course of the operation are immune from any of the effects of the explosion. Curiously enough one of the most vital parts of the depth bomb, or at) least of the bomb used by American5 destroyers, was lhe by-product of anV Inve tion designed to solve the problem of p:r,.etual mot on. This;. Was a spring, composed of a broody spiral of sheet metal which, when exposed to the sun was expected to expand and wind a clock, 'i'he cj/jck hps not yet been put upon the market, but the. spring, the 1 ventlon offan employee of ti'.e Un' el States weather bureau, proved so iiB:f.il that a con- side able factory in the southern states is devoted to its manufacture, li is this spring, adapted to Its new purpose, which f res the charge of TNT when a C3','tain hydrostatic pressure ls ap pi ed to it.

A few days abould bo spent at Field, or If time will net allow, at least miss one train to go through Burgess Pass, for the whole, trip Is certainly worth that glorious view.—E. C. McU 1 HUNTING SUBMARINES WITH DEPTH BOMBS Of all the agencies employed to battle with the submarine the Cf-\ stroyer has proved the most effective,, and one of the handiest tools of the destroyer is the depth bomb. Many U-boats have fallen victim of the bomb, and many more, please Ood, will be desttoyed as the days go by. Of course, th'e destroyer has other weapons which the submarine fears— her speed and flexibility, which make her a most difficult target for a torpedo, and which also enable her to rani a submarine that comes incautiously to the surface, as welt as her deadly guns and her picked gunners.. But these perils the submersible can avdld by diving under water. Once there she ls comparatively safe, or was until the depth bombs were employed against her. Now It mny bet confidently said that If a destroyer can locate a submarine's position under water she can be destroyed almost as certainly as though she were on the surface and h four-inch gun trained on her. It matters not how deep the sub may sink, or even if she is rest ng on the floor of the ocean. The depth bomb will follow her down and destroy her. A Rapidly Improved Weapon For some years before the war experiments were made with various explosives to be used as a weapon against submarines, but ro far as is known, no decisive results were achieved, in the pa_t three years, however, great progress has been made with this weapon. At a certain range its havoc Is as deadly as that of a bursting shell. What the effective range of a depth bomb' Is has not been announced, but it ls said that If the bomb explodes within 50 feet of a submarine, either above it,. below It, or on any side It will certainly finish the sub. The bombs are carried on the decks of the destroyers and other submarine-hunting craft, and when a sub Is sighted and' dives the destroyer makes at full speed for the spot. Then it remains) for the judgment of the commander Good for the whole family A good cough remedy is one that can be depended upon to euro coughs.

He has also to calculate at what depth the submarine Is' to be found. Having made these cat-' dilations, he tries to put his vessel on the course the U-boat Is following rnd get a hundred yards or so ahead of It. It is then that a. depth bomb is hosted ove.board, and as the destroyer I'on.inu s ori her way perhaps half a dozen of these weapons are lowered into the sea. The bomb consists cf a stout steel casing which holds from 200 to 300 pounds of TNT. the most powerful of known explosives. By an i genious mechanism which Is set by the turn of a finger. the bomb Is t med to explode at a certain depth under water. The pressure of the water at given depths )s a constant factor, and the bomb will explode within a few inches of the depth for Which they are t med. It is not, of course, the fragments of the steel case that are expected to damage the submarine; it is the pressure of the water. Among the many beauties or eccentricities of water ls Its absolute refusal to be compressed. So far as an explosion in the water Is concerned Ifls'us though the explosion occurred at an equal depth In the earth. Tremendous pressure Is instantaneously exerted in all directions, the tendency, cf course, being stronger ln the direction of the surface. The effect upon a submarine close .enough Is that of a battering ram. The vessel Is stayed ln as a terri-Ic wave might stave In a vessel on the surface. Submarine a Delieate Craft Even If the submarine is far enough away to avoid the most deadly force of the explosive, her delicate machinery is very apt to be damaged.,1' A comparatively small concussion, for instance, is often quite enough to throw her whole lighting servicWout of gear, and unless he chooses ^■•ftome to the surface she must remain In daikness. A single leak in the hull of a submarine Is a most dangerous, If not a fatal accident, for aa soon a the sea water cornea Into cohtait wtthithe electrolyte ln the bittefisa It produces the deadly chlorine gas, and It would be only a moment before the crew would be asphyxiated or drowned.

At least 60,000,000,- 000 more will be added to it during the course of the year, bringing it up to 165,000,000,000, It Is expected. The interest charge in 1914 was 1,- 037,060,,, .0 fraiios. At the end of 1917 M. kiotz,; minister of finance estimated it at 4,726,000,000 francs. Based on the cost of the war up to the end ot 1917 the budget of France as compared with that of 1914, ls estimated aB follows: , National defense, appropriations, 1914, 2618 millions, after war 2300 millions; public services, 1914, 1850 millions, after war, 8000 mi'llons; interest, on public debt, 19J4, 1806..million., after war, 6185 millions; pension and social reforms. 1914, 200 millions, after war, 2600 millions. Pensions, bared on the casualties reported up to the end of the year-are estimated at 700,000,000 ..francs' annually. The Interest charge will be increased, it la ejjecfed, not only by loans already floated but by an Increase in the interest on the sums advanced by the Bank of France, which must eventually be converted Into loans at a higher rate. This item is estimated at 240,000,000 a year. A considerable part of the paper circulation may be retired and replaced by a perpetual loan Involving a further charge of' 1.0,000,- 000 a year. Short term national defense bonds, of whioh there are now outstanding about 24,000,000 francs will also be converted Into bonds at a somewhat higher rate adding perhaps 60,000,000 more. The balance of the estimated Increase ln the Interest charge Is made up of 500,000,000 Interest on the 10 billions required to repair war damages and 500,000,000 more on a fresh loan of 10 billions. For each additional year of war about 3,000,000,000 must be added to the budget to care for the added war debt.

MORE -FOOD CONSUMED THAN NEEDED FOR HEALTH NEW YORK.—"In this nation," says Mr Hoover, "we consume or destroy over 30' Per cent more food than wo need for health ahd strength and that margin, if it can be eliminated, will supply all allied demands, but we should not draw It from that class to which economy and moderate use is a dally necessity. "The production of ammonia In 1917 was about 130,000,000 pounds. Ot this the demands of the army and navy for explosives purposes are estimated at 160,000,000 pounds per annum and the amonnt necessary to maintain cold storage warehouses is 40,000,000 pounds Private Hospital LICENSED BY PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT Wo give particular attention to all fomalo trouble—home-like apartments (or ladies awaiting accouchmont.

In other words there is an absolute shortage of 60,000,000 pounds per annum at the present moment, which may later on be partially reduced by increased production..Yet ammonia ls being used to a very considerable extent in the maintenance of skating rinks, in cold storage of furs, alcoholic drinks, household ammonia, etc. 1 think the war department has recognized that the maintenance. of cold storage warehouses is vital to the food supply of our people and that they may therefore themselves bo obliged to reduce the amount of explosives manufactured and thereby possibly .Jeopardize our military possibilities until production can be built "P- . •'■*'--' "Another typical question of this kind lies In the question of tin cans. It would seem to effect no great hardship on the American . people if the use of tin plate and tin foil' In toilet articles -and for containers in such other articles which can be established ln either glass or paper cartons, were limited. I feel certain that unless some effeotive control of the* matter Is taken lhat Wo shtiil be unablo to preserve the very large amonnt of fi-ult,: vegetables nnd ment which must necessarily go into tin'containers."
