G.,, TUEt»p^Y MORNlNtf, JULY. 31, 1917 50c PER MONTH LAURIER TO BE E OF tfi <8ir Clifford Sifton Depre^ cates Vague Stand ,; r«» in Disunion at Present Would be Blunder Worse Than Crime (By Daily News Leased Wire.) WINNIPEG, July 30.—A nonpartizan union government which hy control of the organizations could sec to it that men in favor of the war not blindly •fighting each other was strongly advocated by Sir Clifford Sifton in an address before the Canadian club today. He said that thc German waa in sight and there was no margin of safety. The war government wanted all the ■support it could get. It wanted to come back with a mandate from thc people of Canada to enforce conscription and to keep the army up. Disunion under such circumstances wns a blunder and n blunder worse than a crime. Sir Clifford, who made a lengthy review of the conditions existing In Canada at the present time, said that the people ln eastern Cannda were wrestling with the question. Their minds were, becoming clear on the subject, and If he might judge from thc letters ftnd telegrams ho was receiving from leading men all over eastern Canada, he did not think he exaggerated when he said that except for a few' very violent partisans, thc bulk of the people In eastern Canada wero looking to the west for leadership In the great national crisis. It was true that tho Liberal convention which was to meet in Winnipeg next week would, aider the circumstances, be one of tho uost momentous conventions ever held n Canada since confederation'and If hat convention should declare for a mg, and determined war policy, for a Igorous prosecution of thc war, for a ilon government and a properly or- nized fight, to carry those objects rough, then they should be in sight if the goal. Voluntary System Has Collapsed. Sir Clifford suid that no greater iqis- jike could be mode than tu judge this tar was wou. They hud only to look the papers to learn that thoy still ffjeed a strong foe und that tbe issue s still undecided. Voluntary cnllst- men, he said, had broken down. Thc army was now ln thc field and must bo kept up. Thc question wus, what wero they going to do? Were they to let the army dwindle away aiyl finally disappear and by so doing dishonor tho name of Canada und violate its obligations? It Was a plain question and every Canadian with red blood in his veins could glvo the answer. Sir Wilfrid Laurler, snid thc speaker, had in stating his position refrained deliberately from making thc ono statement the people of Canada wanted him to make. Thoy wanted hi in to say in tho event of his return to power that he would get the men by voluntary enlistment If possible and It this failed then by conscription. An election was imminent. Parliament expired In November. They had an army ln Flanders In need of reinforcements; voluntary enlistments had broken dowfi and action of some kind must he taken. Sir Hobcrt Borden had offered a coalition government and Laurier had refused. Sir Robert hud then proposed a coalition with tho English speaking Liberals, supporters of the war and conscription and su far as he, thc speaker, understood It that offer way standing now. it bud not been accepted by tho Liberals, but it was moro or less under consideration. If Sir Wilfrid Laurler had agreed to nn extension of the life of parliament then Borden could havo gone on with Ills war policy. Now ho could'not. Tho election was forced un him.

FERNIE, B.C., July 30.—The inquest over thc victims of the Elk fire which occurred Saturday was continued tonight. The jury this morning viewed the scene- of tho disaster In a downpour of rain which soaked thc dying embers of one of the most disastrous forest fires ln the history of the Crow's Nest Pass. While all have not yet been* accounted for, It Is assumed that the missing arc living. From closer scrutiny or thc bin-ift tti*a;'i*ti'*i;ims?:nhifty of escape therefrom cannot reasonably be appreciated without having expert- ehced thc conflagration. The narrow, funnel-shaped valley is practically Inaccessible from but one route, and even the fumes of tho smouldering stumps and logs make It difficult to examine it today. Jurors rendering the verdict especially recommended extension of authority to those In charge of forest conservation and desired rest vie I ions uf the uso uf Inflammables for al) engaged In wcodsmen's occupations. Another calamity in this locality happened at Michel early this morning when a portion of tho colliery wns rendered totally inactive by the unmistakable evidence of an incendiary firo which has given thc general Impression that frequent disasters throughout this locality are not as innocent as they appear. This latter unusual occurrence nt .Michel suspended operations to thc extent of 50 per cent. Tho tipper tipple presumably destroyed by fire, permitted a train of loaded coal cars to crash through the lower works and render the same useless for some time. ENEMY RAIDERS IN .

Imagination at first.conjures up mourning and demonstration. However, we dare to say that humanity lias progressed during those three years. The great enemy of alt progress, militarism, actually has been wuunded mortally by war Itself. "The ideal of the nations of peace expressed Itself very precisely against tlie brutality of nations of conquest and gains little by little throughout the entire world. „ Despito the vicissitudes this ideal will triumph. "While the curse of German force has sunk, tho curve uf tbe strength of thc allies has risen year by year and thc entrance of the United States into the war hus given It a sudden and formidable Impetus. Germany's fate is determined. "Henceforth Franco, particularly, can show with elation its balance of the last three years. Bleeding, still invaded, she is not only greater and more glorious, but she is stronger militarily and politically than on August 2, 1914. "If Germany, stripped of Its hegemony, ruined in commerce and reduced to an allianco with several groups of adventurers, today compares itself to France, it will show what three years of war have brought It."

LONDON, July 30.—John Anncn Bryce, Liberal, alluding in the house of commons today to the recent statement of Lord Robert Cecil, that the dismemberment of -Austria was not one of Britain's war alms, said tho statement would create difficulties becauso Britain's engagements With Its allies could not be continued if the Austrian empire was to be maintained.

Mr. Balfour said that the government bad been asked to declare Its policy, but he was not sure li that would be a wise course. The broad questions animating thc government had been expounded by the late and pres- ent premiers, tho foreign secretary and others who held high office during the lust throe years. When every ministerial statement was treated aa a pledge, It was dangerous to mako definite announcements. With respect to the Jugoslav and Austrian question, said Mr. Balfour, It was Impossible to foretell tho position In which the world would find itself whon these problems came to bo decided, and he would be doing a very poor service to tho country were ho to attempt to define the position. The government belloved that tho nationalities which composed that heterogenous stato should bo allowod to develop along their own linos and to carry on their own civilization ln their own way.

Mothers should louk well after their children during the hot summer months, as this Is the time of the year this trouble Is most prevalent.

This cure was a miraculous one, for 1 thought the child wus dying at the time." There is nothing cap take the place of Dr. Fowler's. There Is nothing just us*good.

FIGHTS FOR FREER AND STABLE WE (Continued from Page One.) tbe fateful declaration on Aug. 3, 1914, made it with tbe smallest thought of the great problems which the course of the war has opened up. We did not enter the war for any selfish purpose; certainly not for Imperialist aims or to get Indemiiltlcs. Our purposes were completely unselfish; therefore, we stood In a different position from any of our allies. We hoped to seo Europe freer and more stable." If i-'rance asked it, he failed to sec how Britain could refrain from going to assist her until she got back to the position before the attack which had been engineered by Bismarck In years gone by." Mr. Balfour expressed an opinion which was simply bis own when be said that If France asked for Alsace- Lorraine, Great Britain would support her, but he declared that France was not fighting for Alsace-Lorraine alone; she was fighting for her very exist? encc. The questions the house bad dtsetissed were occupying the attention of thc whole world almost to tbe exclusion of almost every other subject. As to the democratization of Germany, said the secretary. It had been hoped that autocracy would give place to parliamentary institutions as they are understood, but nobody was foolish enough to suppose that It would be possible to impose on Germany a constitution made' outside of Germany. Tin- fight must go on, lor If this war ended with a German peace, that would only be a prelude to a new European war. If the peace was to be one that England and America, which had no interest on the continent, could approve, then it would lead to a permanent settlement which in turn would lead to that ureal understanding of nations which irive Europe a security never before known. "Germany must work out her salvation," continued Mi-. Balfour. "You do not njend mutters hy Imposing a constitution, even if yon have the power, Nations muni make their scheme of liberty for themselves, according to their own ideas and based on their history, character and hopes. "But if U is true that the great power of German imperialism is still depending upon the belief—the belief driven into the German nations by the wars of ISthi and 1*70—that only under thc Imperial system can Germany be great, powerful and rich, then if experience shows that the imperialistic system can produce not merely a triumph one lime, but inevitably lead to corresponding disaster at another. It may well be that those views, which found such powerful expressions in Germany in 1348 and which animated all Gorman teachers for a generation before Bismarck, will revive wilb new lustre and new strength, and that Germany, with all her powers of organization and her inherited cultivation, will be added to those nations which before the war could hardly conceive a universal war of this sort, deliberately provoked In order to further the commercial or political interests of any single community, level of the United States and Britain level of the United tSates and Britain In that respect we may hope that one of the great disturbers of the peace will be forever eliminated. 1 do not know who will venture to say for a moment that, looking at the Internal condition of Germany as far as wo are allowed to see it at the present time, thc Ideas of which I have been speaking will really grow in such fashion as to raise legitimate hopes that In our lifetime we shall sec that established. But I am sure that if It Is not established the sccrully of Europe will not be established either."

(Continued from Page One.) the products of most of the companies had been small. He expressed the hope that the report of the new commission when received would command the confidence of the people. He said that the margin of the small dealers had not risen so rapidly as that of the large dealers because the latter were exporting and ocean rales had gone up tremendously. On motion to go Into committee of supply, George Kyte of Richmond, N. S. commenced a discussion on the report of W. I'1. O'Connor, commissioner of the cost of living, recently tabled In the house. Mr. Kyte declared that although the department of labor hnd promised much, this was the first substantial benefit derived from the department since the war began. The United States, on the other hand, had acted promptly and within three weeks of entering thc war, had proposed a food controller and declared It necessary to introduce legislation. Sir George Foster Interrupted with the remark that no legislation affecting the cost; of living had yet been passed by tbe United States congress. Mr. Kyte said that Mr. Hoover had been appointed food controller and that his activities were being reflected in Canada. Mr. Kyte said that the war had brought big business to Canada and with it big profits. This had whetted Hie appetites of those In handling the food supplies of the people. He then quoted at some length from Mr. O'Connor's report to show that 151,000,- 000 pounds of bacon wero handled In Canada In 1916; 110,000,000 pounds had been controlled by two companies, William Davies, limited, and Matthews, Blackwell, limited, both having their headquarters In Toronto. During 1910 the first named company had made a profit of r>.or» cents a pound, while the other concern's profits were 3.07 cents a pound. Charged Highest Prices Mr. Kyte said that it was argued that the amalgamation of companies meant a reduction In overhead charges but this report showed that In 1916, the companies doing the largest business charged the highest prices. He said that two of thc largest cold storage companies had a number of retail stores and one would think that this would operate to the advantage of the retailers. Such firms would be able to buy cheaper and would be able to utilize the byproducts. However, It was the bitter experience of Canadians that the larger tbe business lhe larger the profits and the larger the prices. Coming to the question of eggs, Mr. Kyte said that the report showed that the Davies company made a margin of profit of 7.27 cents a dozen on eggs, other firms made the margin of profit o*f from 1,74 to B.28 cents on a dozen. There were complaints as to the price of eggs in cities. Inquiries showed that the greatest, offenders were the large storage companies. He said that the cheese was largely controlled by large eompunles and meat by the large abbatolrs. The American cold storage companies supplied meat to Canadian consumers nt a lower price than Canadian companies. Mr. Kyte describe! Mr. (>'Connor's report as an indictment of the morality of these companies in their deal- lugs with Canada and the allied nations. Higher Than in Britain Mr. Kyte quoted figures, not from the report, to show lhat the prices of many Canadian commodities were higher in Canada than In Great Britain. Ham, for instance, wholesale, was 25 1-2 cents per pound in London, England: In Tortmto, 29 1-2 to 31 cents and In Montreal from 31 to 32 cents. Bread In London was ."> 3-4 cents a, pound, in Toronto 7 1-3 cents a pound and in Montreal 7 cunts. Flour wholesaled In London for $10.Iii a barrel; in Toronto at $12.40 and In Montreal at $12.50. It was only fair to add that tlie quality of the flour In England was not as high as In Canada owing lo the regulations of the food controller. However, limiting all allowances for Ibis, he thought the price of Canadian flour was less In England than In Canada, Mr. Kyte said that the Davles com puny declared in Its statement to tbe press that the actual profit on bacon was only 6-8 cents a pound. At a monthly turnover of over 7,000,000 pounds this would be a profit of .17 per cent on their capitalization. The Swift company of Chicago In Its annual statement shows a net profit of only a quarter of a cent a pound, yet with this margin they paid an eight per cent dividend with a bonus. lie pointed out lhat small profits In a big business menu a big dividend. Mr. Kyte said that there was a gen eral rumor that facilities for carrying the William Davies* products were afforded them by their being allowed lo make shipments with munitions. "Havo you any authority for such a statement?" asked Sir George Foster. "I have no authority," replied Mr. Kyte. 1 would lie the first to cheer fully deny It if it were not true." "Would It not. bo better not to make such a statement unless you hav some authority. This is only an insinuation," replied Sir George Foster Too Much PUssyfooting, Kyto Says "There Is too much pussy-footing,*' was the remark of Mr. Kyto. "Pussy-footing is better than making unsound Insinuations," replied Sir George Foster. "The Insinuation is that In some way the British admiralty connive at the carrying of the products of William Davles company, and discriminated against other firms. 1 do believe It Is true.' "I will be the first to deny It If It Is not true." said Mr. Kyte. Mr. Kyte said that George F. Henderson, K. C, who had been appointed chairman of tho commission to ex- limine into the cold storage conditions as revealed by Mr. O'Connor, had made thc statement that the commis sion whs making an Inquiry Indepoii' dently of the report. Mr. Kyte thought that no one was better able to com plote the Inquiry than Mr. O'Connor, and be could not understand why the government did not supply him M*lth accountants for that purpose. He declared the selection of Mr, Henderson was not il very happy one A few months ago nt an inquiry held by Mr. O'Connor at the request of the city of Ottawa regarding food conditions In the capital, tho solicitor who appeared for one of the companies wns Mr. Henderson, and on that account he did not believe that the appointment of Mr, Henderson would have the confidence of the people of this country. Mr. Henderson, he said, had also appeared for Col. J. Wesley Allison at the Inquiry which was held Into the shell commission, which commission had been disbanded and the imperial munitions board appointed in its stead. Mr. Kyte concluded by asking what the government was going to do regarding the O'Connor report, for according to the chairman, the Henderson commission had nothing to do with it. The commission was named nt the, request of two of the firms to inquire into matters concerning them, and not In the interests of the public. Says Question Sub. Judice Hon. T. W. Crothers said it waa scarcely fair to discuss this matter at the present time as it was really sub. judlce. He was surprised at Mr. Kyte finding fault with the appointment of Mr. Henderson because he had acted for one of the merchants of Ottawa at the O'Connor inquiry. The best lawyers In the country were sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other, at one time defending a notorious thief j and the next time prosecuting a no- j torlous thief. Thc O'Connor report stated that there was no excessive accumulation and thep rofits of most of the companies hud been small. Wanted Expert Accountant. Continuing after the recess, Mr. I Crothers declared that Mr. O'Connor had stated that he had found no evidence of combines nor of hoarding or excessive food manipulation and that tho management of the companies had not contributed materially to the advanced price of the commodity. He hnd also advocated that an expert, accountant should go into the matter further. He had made a distinction between net and gross profits. Mr. Macdonald asked if it was not a cost accountant Mr. O'Connor had asked for. Mr. Crothers replied that the accountants employed would not stop there. E. A. Macdonald of Pictou, said that thc house was apt to forget the perspective of thc man who had to live on a small wage and pay 50 cents, the retail price, for bacon. Ever since- the house met six months ago the opposition had been pressing upon the government the desirability of action being taken to i-cduco the cost of living. Finally there had been; issued thc O'Connor report. He quoted the report as stating that transactions had taken place in connection with which prosecutions could have been Instituted. Mr. Macdonald wanted to know if any companies, other than the Davles company, had previous to the issue of this report, declined to answer thc questions ns to the cost of bacon laid down, including overhead charges. Mr. Crothers said that, speaking generally, he believed the Malthews- Blackwcll company ant} other concerns bad given this information. Putting Canada Out of Ring. Hon, Frank Oliver made the estimate that the burden of the cost of food had Increased in Canada since tho war began by approximately $250,000,000 a year. This, he said, was a burden on industry which could only be met by increasing the cost of the*products Of industry. The condition was one which wns putting Canada out of the ring as an Industrial centre, at least. Thc problem was bigger than tbe William Davles company. Cannda, Mr. Oliver declared, was more under the control of monopolies and trusts than any other country In the world. The situu- t ion was controlled by a little ring of monopolists in Toronto and Montreal. Mr. Oliver said it was quite as proper to fix the price of bacon for Sir John Flavelle us to fix the price of wheat. "Let us have action In both cases," he said. The moment the government commandeered tho wheat production and fixed a price on that commodity the bacon industry should have been dealt with. Mr. Maclean contended that this de- hate bad made it abundantly clear that the second commission in connection with the cost of living wos unnecessary. Says Case of False Pretenses. During consideration of tbe militia estimates in thc house today James Douglas, Strathcona, said that a number of num who had enlisted to do special work such ns sawyers in forestry battalions, received higher ypay than the regular soldiers. They discovered later that their wives were not allowed to have aid from the patriotic fund. He was afraid there bad been mlsrepresentat Ion. Hon. Frank Oliver declared thut those men had been enlisted under false pretenses. Sir Edward Kemp said that so far as he was 'aware, no 'complaints had reached tho department. Tho purpose of the patriotic fund, ho said, was to glvo relief only to' the dependents of soldiers who require aid. Mr. Douglas said that the fact remained that these men were induced to Jo,ln by false pretenses. They had not been told that their wives would not receive aid from thc patriotic fund.

Earhardt, supported by Senator Stafford and several other members of both houses of tho legislature, has started a quiet campaign to take .the capital or Loulaiann to New Orleans-, It is generally recognized that the capital building at Baton Rouge is no longer adequate for the state government, nnd that the decline of Raton Rouge as a town, due largely to lack of transportation facilities, and the need of a more central location for the seat of government, necessitates removal of the state house to another city. Previous (o tills extra session, Alexandria waa favored, but ll Is evident that there Is a strong and growing sentiment in behalf of the Crescent city as the next capital of the state. The backers of the new plan have obtained assurances from Xew Orleans PAGE THREE; SCENE FftOMTHE WAGER" AT THE STARLAND TOMORROW ".'■ Interests that sufficient land for tbe state house grounds will be given, freo of charge, if the capital Is moved to that city.

Careful investigations show that before the war the average British family wasted 25 # of their food—and we Canadians were even more extravagant. This waste is not in a few big things, but in many little ones, each, we used to think, too small to bother about—such as careless peeling of vegetables and fruit—failure to make good use of dripping and "leftovers"—and such others as will occur to every thrifty housekeeper.

Collection of an income tax Is always difficult, but the plan adopted by the Dominion government ln the new tax bill which has been introduced as part ot the policy of broadening the basis of taxation of wealth should prove effective. The bill makes it. obligatory upon all employers lo make returns of the salaries of employees liable to tbe tax, while companies, associations and syndicates must report upon the dividends, bonuses or other profits that are distributed to members or stockholders. In addition all liable to pay income tax must make personal returns of the amount of their incomes. In this way the government has a double check, which must be -supplied to It without further demand than that contained In the act. Single men with Incomes over $2000 a year and married men with incomes exceeding $3001) a year must make returns by Fell. !!S of each year, showing their annual incomes. If anyone should attempt evasion he will be checked up by the reports that will be made by employers, companies, syndicates and associations. It Will be very difficvdt lo dodge the tax. It will also be very dangerous. The penalty for violation of the law is heavy. KOOTENAY-BOUNDARY INDUSTRY HELPS IN THE WAR. The Western Lumberman contains nn interesting article that shows to how great an extent the lumber Indus- try_of the mountain district is doing Its part in producing supplies essential to the war. Ninety-eight per cent of the 1916 output was sold In Canada. Of this amount !)0 per cent went to the prairie provinces, where It was employed practically in its entirety by the farmers, to whom buildings are essential to maximum food production and economical use of machinery and preservation of grain and other crops. Very little lumber is being consumed for relatively non-essential purposes, such us building of new residences in cities. Prairie factories consumed some lumber, but it was for manufacturing shell boxes or materlnl used in the construction of farm buildings. One per cent of the output went to eastern Canada and 7 per cent was consumed locally. The local consumption was chiefly by mines and the transportation companies, both essential industries. It Is gratifying that the production of the three main industries of Kootenay and Boundary—mining, lumbering and agriculture—is devoted so largely to purposes that arc essential to tho successful conduct of tbe war. hopes to avoid arbitrary measures. He recognizes that the question is a complex one. Tf it can be solved by cooperation so much the better. If not tho food controller posesses tho will nnd has been given the power to take whatever action may be necessary. CHURCHILL GOES BACK WITH BIG MAJORITY Winston Spencer Churchill, new minister of munitions in Lloyd George cabinet, evidently sesses more of lhe confidence of the the pos- the MILITARISM WILL BE CRUSHED ONLY BY COMPLETE DEFEAT "Militarism has been mortally wounded by war." Paul Palnleve, the French minister of war, delights in tbe French literary habit of stating truth by paradox. Perhaps In this case be has allowed tbe national love for paradox to prevent him from a more correct statement of the effect of war on mill tarlsm. Militarism has been wounded In this war because militarism so far has failed. Nothing but success could have Justified even io German' ideals the German synteni, which is too ex acting a burden on the German people for them to allow it to live if It fails. Militarism will receive its death wound when the German armies hav been crushed. Until thut has been accomplished hy the allies it will still be capable of seeking to save itself by the successful prosecution of another war for world domination. German militarism must be crushed beyond possibility of recovery before the en tente allies dare to make peace. Next Saturday is the fourth annl versary of the entry of tho British Empire to the war. There can lie no compromise on lhe question as to whether Canada shall reinforce her soldiers at the front, or desert them. The wln-the-war people of Canada should all unite and present a solid front against, the elements which would have the Dominion slink out of effective participation In tbe struggle. The Russians are turning against the enemy. The development fit the next few days should show to bow great an extent disaffection in tbe army has spread and how many battalions were forced to retreat because of the retirement of treacherous comrades rather thnn by their own desire. Iterlln's report Htates lhat tbe "paralyzing influence" of German artillery fire In Flanders caused a decrease in Hrltish nrlillery activity. Tho London report shows that what really caused the diminution in the bombardment was a storm which forced tbe airmen to descend. THEY ARE ANSWERED. Critics who based their objection to the conscription bill on thc ground that conscription of men was unfair unless there was ulso conscription of wealth, are answered by the income tux bill Introduced by the finance minister in the commons yeBterday afternoon. By thfc terms of that bill it is proposed that all married men in receipt of nn income greater than $3000 and single men or widowers without children earning more than $2000 are to be assessed on their earnings In excess of these amounts at the rate of 4 per cent. For those who are in receipt of incomes greater than $6000 there are graded supertaxes making the levy greater as the income increases. The proposal is an attempt to make every man who stays at home and Is earning more than is really necessary for the sustenance of himself and his dependants, pay his reasonable share nf the war expenses of the country. It Is an application of the principle of direct taxation which is quite justifiable In war time and the man who objects to it is likely to become most unpopular with his neighbors. We imagine If there is any criticism of the bill at all it will be on tbe ground that not enough is being taken from those who are in receipt of very large incomes. However, as a starl the measure is by no means bad; it may be improved as need develops. This new taxation measure is intended by the finance minister as an answer to those who have been calling for the conscription of wealth. Thus far there has been no clear definition of the phrnse from those who so strongly advocate it In general terms. Perhaps in tbe discussion over tbe income tax bill we shall hear something more definite as to what is really meant by wealth conscription. So far as the Tlbrald has been able to figure tbe problems out tho income tax seems to be the most fair and equitable way of getting at these who should pay or should pay more tax than they have been paying, if the new law, which Is certain to be carried by parliament, is enforced with the strictness and impartiality that has characterized the past operations of the finance department under Sir Thomas White, there is good reason to believe that the wealth of tbe country will pay as it undoubtedly should, but In many Instances has not. Such result should be satisfactory to our labor friends who made wealth conscription a condition of their acceptance of thn conscription of man power.

He has won In a by- election by a vote of 7302 against 2036 polled by his opponent, Sciym- geour, an independent. Desire of the people of Great Britain to win the war and to support the government at this critical time is undoubtedly a strong reason for the large majority that has been polled by a mnn around whose actions in the war the fiercest controversy has raged. But much of lhat controversy was inspired by political antagonisms generated before the war, and the people of Great Britain have no time at this stage to waste on ante-bellum politics or their fruits. Tbe point to be considered is not whether a man was a Liberal or a Unionist, or a Liberal suspected of Unionist tendencies —as was Churchill—but whether he is fitted to take his place In a govern ment whose only business that Is worth considering Is the conduct of a war in which the Empire's liberty Is nt slake.

The braw laddies of the kilties revive memories of unflinching courage, of uncomplaining devotion, of terrible hardships borne with unquestioning fortitude. With their skirling pipes they shatter the clouds of gloom which close attention to the sordid details of war have pressed upon us, and we can see the high purpose and grand reward for which we fight. How wise Kngland and England's partner,' Canada, have been to relaln something of the picturesque tn war the kilties teach us. They are not drab and depressing; they are electric with life nnd power and strength. The manhood of them, the firm intent, the authority they symbolize Is written la each disciplined move and recorded In every gesture of their ordered display. The call to duty Ihey utter is not plaintive or apologetic; it Is cheerful and proud. It summons not to sacrifice, but to opportunity. It invites, but does not plead. He who can hear and answer and does not. Is past pleading. These men of the Maple Leaf are the explanation of Prussia's failure. Where sueh as they respond to the call of liberty, liberty will attain the victory.—New York Sun, Patriotic Canadians must throw away "party spectacles and look wilh clear eyes through the confusions of the pollticnl situation to the single fundamental issue.. The Issue cannot be concealed or disguised, or evaded. It Is definite arid imperative and Inescapable. It is this: Shall Canada falter in ,the fight for freedom? The military facts overhang the country like a huge interrogation point, demanding an. immediate answer. The Canadian infantry reserves in England, which arc being depleted to re-' pair the losses in the trenches, will be exhausted in a few months unless replenished in Canada. But in Canada the number of infantrymen in training is equal only to a month's "wastage" at the front, and it is not expanding. The voluntary system has yielded great results and a shining record in the field of battle, but it lias ceased to yield results at home. The flow of recruits has stopped, or is so small that it is offset by losses from Illness and other causes. Canada's fighting strength Is last ebbing away. The thought of it ought to shock the country Into prompt nnd resolute nctlon. Compared with Canada's role in the war, every other public question sinks into insignificance. What are tbe tenir porary fortunes of parties or politicians in any one nation when weighed against the fate of the nations allied in the struggle for liberty and democracy, and all that civilization has won In the past and hopes for in the future? Is Canada to continue to be worthy of that high comradeship she has won by her heroism and exertions? There has been a jusl demand that the conscription of men be accompanied by measures that. will require real service or sacrifice from others who remain in thc country, sheltered behind their comrades at the front. Those who urge the conscription of wealth and the organization of the national resources and of the material power of the country cannot consistently oppose the selective draft, which Is the organization of manpower for lighting purposes. All these proposals are integral parts of the one policy, which seeks to coordinate all the energies of the nation so that it may exert Its full streiiRth. The formation of a government opposed to conscription would be a proof that the majority of Canadians were war-weary, and would be so Interpreted in every country In the world, Germany included. It would be a signal to every man who has hitherto dodged his duty to continue in the path of safety first. It would bring down on Canada tbe reproach of every nation fighting for the great cause. It would tarnish or efface the glorious chapter written with her bravest blood. These nre considerations that should weigh upon the mind nnd conscience of every voter and of every candidate. As for itself, the Globe will oppose the election of any man who does not uphold the principle of compulsory military service, and who would vote in parliament for tho creation of an nnU-consuiiptionlst ministry.—Toronto Globe. . >-*>-*h4>+-*y4>-4>4>-4h4> *J 1 THE CRIME* UNPARDONABLE.

There are many people who are doing- war service gratuitously. They are to- be admired—and thoy ought to be thankful, they are in a position to do so. The business man engaged in war work who foregoes all profit Is making a genuine sacrifice for his country; so is the man who gives the greater part of his Income for war purposes; but if everyone who does not forego all profit during the war, and everyone who does not give tho greater part of his income for wnr purposes, were to be condemned, how few there would be to escape condemnation.—Hamilton Herald. ■.»♦♦♦■»♦»♦»♦>♦<♦-♦»♦♦♦♦♦ ♦•"*♦-? t THE HIGHLANDERS. \ Let the pibroch sound all over the land, if that will help.

BENGALIS' RETURN HELPS RECRUITING CALCUTTA, India—Only a very few months have passed since the government of India, much to the astonishment of most people In India, especially of the European community, gave Its sanction to the formation of a double company of Infantry to be composed entirely uf Bengalis. The concession look the Bengalis themselves by surprise, so much so that it took some little time for the 2H0 men required for tho double company to be raised t he complement was duly mado up, however, almost, entirely from the middle classes and gentlefolk of Bengal, and the Bengali double company was sent up to the Punjab to undergo six months' training. Tho first Bengali double company was sanctioned avowedly as an experiment, as the Bengalis have been de- mart lalized for so long that the authorities were somewhat doubtful whether It would be possible to raise a fighting unit from among them. The Bengali youngsters gave so good. an account of themselves, however, that the government was constrained to sanction the formation of an entire regiment of Bengalis, and Dr. Mullick, to whose energy and faith in his countrymen the raising of tbe first double company was very largely due, Is now organizing a campaign with a view to the formation of the -more important unit. In this connection, the happy thought struck some one that if leave wero given to a batch of the first double company to revisit their native province and show themselves to their fellow-countrymen, the effect would be greatly to stimulate further recruiting. Sixty of the youngsters were accordingly given leave, ,and these returned to Calcutta recently. They have already performed several route I A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY J The inquiry into British Columbia's Industrial resources, now being conducted by the Dominion government it may be hoped will be productive bf closer knowledge and greater interest in the Immense assets British Columbia provides for the Dominion. No doubt in the past these assets have been recognized and exploited by those who believed that a bird in the huud was worth two lu the bush and an Immediate profit worth a waiting investment. Also it must be admitted the east baa possibly considered politics un usset here as elsewhere In Canada. But times change and also conditions. British Columbiu has profited by her past experiences and Is really anxious to prove herself. Tho scientific commission will see much and learn moro. It Is composed of men who have given up their lives to the study of science which ia a school of patience, a playground for imagination, but a merciless Judge for facts, British Columbia has nothing to fear from a thorough analysis of facts. She has everything to hope from such an analysis endors' ed by such distinguished mon as make up tho commission.—Vancouver Pro v I rice.

All who have seen these lads are amazed at the difference which five or six. months' military training has made to them. Their pnysique hns greatly improved; and they all havo that smart, alert manner which seems to belong especially to the British soldier. Their fine appearance and good record are a source ot great gratification to Bengal, which feels that it Is now directly represented In the Empire's fighting line. All classes aro eager to seo the Bengali unit brought up to full regimental strength, and If there remain any waverers, it Is confidently anticipated that these will be won over as the result of the route marches which are now in progress in Bengal.

Y.—Conscientious objectors to military service in many instances are promoting a plan by which they seek to be assigned to re. construction work. It Is said that there are at least 25,000 of these who claim that their objection to military service Is sincerely founded .on conscientious reasons, and not upon fear, who have registered with various organizations J'ormed to crystallize their opposition. One of these organizations, called tho League for Democratic Control, and several members of this league have sent to President Wilson :l letter which reads in part: "Under provision of the conscription act, exemption from military service is offered to conscientious objectors who belong to religious bodies whose tenets include objection to war. This makes no provision for conscientious objectors against war, believed to number many thousands, who are not members of these sects. "We urge upon you that these conscientious objectors be dealt with fairly and liberally. These men are men of ideals. They are the farthest removed from slackers and cowards. They have proved their independence and courage by their ability to resist social pressure and contumely. "They desire to serve our country. They are willing to undergo any sacrifices and to perform the most difficult service so long as their conscience is not conscripted, Thoy aro eager to bo utilized by the government wherever and however they can help to reestablish thc world upon a better basis. "Because of this attitude on tho part of these men, wo urge upon your attention the project of an international reconstruction corps, sueh has recently been discussed by cer- tln prominent persons in this country. This corps would bo made from those who had satisfied the omption boards as to the sincerity their conscience against war. "They would take up their work under the civil authorities of the government or some other agency In some of the devastated parts of Europe, and would serve for the period of the war and for one yoar or moro thereafter this additional term -of service being 'suggested as to some degree a deterrent to those who might seek to avail themselves of this: form of service from an unworthy motive. "The alternative .to such a plan would apparently be Imprisonment or internment for moU whose ono desire is to serve and not to kill their fellow- men. To attempt -to penalize sueh men, to crush their* ideals, to break their will, Is a thing against which liberty-loving .Americans will surely revolt, and which- would, without doubt, be wholly abhorrent to yourself." An international reconstruction corps Is In process of organization, according to L. s. Gannett of this city. It Is planned to form an advisory committee of men of standing who are In sympathy with its purpose and an executive committee of men willing to serve in it or help actively In Its organization. Mr. Gannett says tlie corps Is for men of eonscriptnble age unwilling to take life, but unafraid of hard work or danger in the servlco "f their country and mankind, and ll would provide an opportunity for service for men who cannot conscientiously do military or naval service, but are not cowards, slackers or loafers.

Darling's brass band and detail of the 48th (Gordon) Highland- era from Toronto, and Lieut.-Col. Percy A. Guthrie's pipers from the Clan McLean have succeeded in winning the heart of Gotham. From the time the Highland laddies arrived early Monday morning until they departed at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon for Chicago, they have been lu the'centre of a constant whirl of escitomelit. They have toured New York, Brooklyn, Newark and outlying districts. They have bee,n to Coney Island and tlie ball game. They have been feted anil toasted in the eafe3 and cabarets. They have been, royally entertained. The skirl of the pipes and the gaudy plaids of the kilts delighted old Father Knickerbocker's heart. I The last week was recruiting week in New York and the British Recruiting Mission, beaded by Brlg.-Gen. W. A. White, was well "up-stage and centre," brilliantly displayed by the calcium light of every means of publicity known. The kilties have help-, ed stimulate recruiting tremendously. They have made the Americans realize, as probably few other forces could, the nearness of this war of nations. While the appeal of the' kilties was to the British and Canadians In the United States, the Americans declare the Highlanders did as much for their hosts as for themselves. United States recruiting officers say that recruiting has jumped ahead briskly since the kilties came. A dozen men in Montreal and Toronto, bended by E. W. Beatty, Vice- President and General Counsel of the Canadian Pacific Railway, raised $10,001) among themselves to finance the 48th {Gordon) Highlanders on their two weeks' trip to New York and Chicago. i Ueut,-Col. ,T; S. Dennis, who nas been assistant to Lord Shaughnessy, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, is In charge of the Western. Division of the British Recruiting Mission, with headquarters at Chicago. Although the Chicago and Minneapolis offices have been open les3 than three, weeks almost one thousand men have been recruited ln that time. Llout.-Col. , Dennis plans lo establish branch- recruiting offices in fill the principal cities in the "United Stains near tbe Canadian border west of Chicago. Ha also plans to have representation .

PROGRESS MADE BY PUNJAB SATISFACTORY CALCUTTA, India—Addressing tho Punjab legislative council at the close of the debate on the provincial budget, which always winds up the discussions of the session, Sir Michael O'Dwyer, lieutenant-governor of the Punjab, expressed himself as abundantly satisfied with the progress ol the province during thc past year. He made special reference to the political situation, and defended himself against the accusations which had been leveled against him In connect ion witli the ordering of home rule propagandists to remain outside the province. His honor defined his reasons for the action then taken as follows: I took that action not because I desire to stifle or repress any reasonable political discussion, but because I was and am convinced that an agitation for home rule in this province on the, lines advocated hy the leaders of the movement, and as it would lie Interpreted by those to whom it would he addressed, would stir up the dying embers of revolutionary fires, which we have almost succeeded ia extinguishing, and set part of the province In a blaze once more. At the same time Michael O'Dwyer took his council into his confidence as to the situation which the Punjab government had been called upon to meet during tbe past three years. Since the beginning of tho war, he said, somo 8000 natives of the Punjab had returned to India. Strenuous attempts had been made by the Indian revolutionists ln Canada, the United States and the Straits Settlements to corrupt the whole of these men, but according to Sir Rl. O'Dwyer, these -attempts had proved completely ineffective In the case of 6000 of them. These had accordingly dispersed quietly to thoir homes, and no further notice had been taken of them. Of the remaining 2000 some 1000 had been dealt with under tho Defense of India, act, antl interned in their own houses or villages at the instance of the local Sikh committee These were now gradually settling down and tho restrictions imposed upon them wore steadily being relaxed. Defining his attitude toward home rule for India more clearly, Sir Mich- nel observed that an Increasing measure of self government as education spread and tho causes of dissentlon disappeared, was a very dlfferont thing from a sudden upheaval, revolutionary In character and subversive of order. He contrasted with the policy of the British' government In In- lla, thc action of the Sinn Keiacrs in Ireland, and said that for many years to come practical problems such as the administration was facing In the Punnh would prove a more prudent route to MGlf government than tho chimera of home rule. It need ltnrdly be added that Sir Mlchnel O'Dwyer Is an Irishman, and Is conversant with every phase of the Irish question. SHYING ran I G. E. Mcintosh Investigating Facilities for Federal Agriculture Department, G. E. Mcintosh of the fruit branch bf the department of agriculture is mak lug a tour of Canada qollcctlng data for the Investigation being carried on by the department of agriculture at Ottawa In connection with freight rates and accommodations offered by the railways to fruit growers of Canada. He visited this district recently. The transportation department of the fruit branch Is a new development made with a view to Increasing pro. duction and consumption, and the government Is carrying on an investigation regarding the relation of transportation to tho industry. Mr. Mcintosh states that one-fifth of the total freight business of Canada consists of agricultural products. R. G, L. Clark, Romihlon fruit liv spector for this province, who has accompanied Mr. Mcintosh on some of his Inspection trips In British Colum bin, recently returned from a visit to Ontario. Ho stated that western On tario apple growers would not have enough apples for local consumption and said that there should be a good market for llritish Columbia growers in Toronto, Montreal and other large eastern centres. CREWS Sill IE IN in Watching Outbreaks in Stumps and Logs and Preventing Spread of Flames, While the recent rains have put the forest fires in a condition that no further danger from them is anticipated, reduced fire fighting crews are still watching the fire swept areas and are putting out small fires as they start among stumps nnd logs. "The cool and damp weather we are having now is very favorable to the work of keeping down the fires,' stated E. 1J. Prowd, district forester. "Alt the smaller fires have beon put out and tbe larger ones are easy to watch now and to prevent from spread lug." BRITAIN DISCUSSES TRADE AFTER WAR LONDON.—The annual meeting of the British Imperial council of commerce, under the presidency of Lord Desboraugh, took place at the London chamber of commerce. Lord Des- borough, who moved the adoption of thc annual report, stated that a great many of thc resolutions In the interests of Inter-imperial trade passed by Ihe conference held under the auspices of the Hrltlsh imperial council of commerce last year, and on other occasions bad been substantially adopted tat thc 'Paris conferonce*nn*d tfluVlniporlnl "\var conference and by the committee of imperial commerce and Industry presided over by Lord ltalfour of Burleigh. The speaker said, witli regard to their own economic future, and the huge war debt which had been piled up, that he estimated that even If the war stopped tomorrow they would find themselves burdened with a debt of £-1,000,000,000, the interest and sinking fund charges upon which would represent a liability of about X240.000.00l) a year. This would be In addition to Iho ordinary expenses of government and the large demands which would be made for expenditure on education, housing and other charges following upon the wnr. (in the other side of the account, however. Ihey had the gigantic uiul to a great extent, undeveloped assets of the llritish Empire; Artec the Civil War in the United States the wealth of that country was estimated nt $3,000.000,000 but such a great development look place that before long the estimate of its wealth bad Increased lo JlO.i'DO.OOO.OOO. The British Empire Included two-thirds of the habitable globe, anil if might be assumed that by means of a policy of wise, prudent and energetic, develop incut (he burden ol* Indebtedness might be groatly reduced before su many year's were over. He was delighted to learn that, independently of thc Itrltlsb Imperial council of commerce, the Dominions royal commission had resolved to promote the formation of an imperial development board. He wished the project every ucccss. The council would remember that they had Intended to hold an Imperial congress of chambers of commerce at Toronto next September but that event, which was contingent on tho conclusion of tho war, would have to'be postponed. It might be better, even after the war to postpone still further tbe holding of the congress at Toronto and instead to hold a business conference in London, at which the commercial and trading interests of, the Empire should be considered and which might be attended hy representatives from India and ull tlie dominions of the Empire. There was no hope, said Lord Des- borough, that such a conference would be held in September of this year but he thought that by September of IMS thoy might hope that they would be discussing tbe problems that would arlsq after the war was over and the solution of which would require all the, statesmanship of those In authority. Sir John McColl considered that the proposed conference to deal with the business problems arising from the war should be held now and not when the war was over. He had been preparing a statement for hiB government fooinded on Information which had como "from Gl&man sources, which showed how the Germans were already anticipating post-war conditions, by taking steps to develop the numerous resources of thc country, to Increase raw materials, to obtain supplies from neutral countries nnd to assist traders. Lord Desborough said, in reply, thnt while it would not be practicable to hold such a conference ob ho had proposed, with representatives from all tho dominions of the Empire, until after the war, in the meantime tho British imperial council of commerce would prepare. for tho future by means of committees which would attend to those matters with which it was possible to deal before the conclusion of tho war. SWEDISH SOCIALIST ON SUBMARINE ACTS STOCKHOLM.—Writing on the subject of the recent sinkings of Swedish Steamers by the German submarines, tho Socialist leader, Mr. Brantlng, says: "What can wo do about these murders of our sailors, this senseless destruction nnd Irreparable loss of cargoes of wheat and flour?. Of course even these brutal acts must not make us abandon neutrality, although wo are now better able to understand what tho Norwegians have felt and are feeling and why the question of arming ships for defense against thc pirate has been raised In the past and may again become vital, on the other hand our people cannot understand a government which for the fiftieth time is satisfied with making a Platonic protest to Berlin." He states that the riksdag wilt sit In secret session when these events will be discussed, "It would surprise us,'' he continues, "if It were not clearly demonstrated that thero is an overwhelming feeling in Sweden that we must, without delay, stop all thc remaining export of food from Sweden to Germany. It is too niuch to expect that a country whose (conduct of tho war wilfully exposes our people to hunger should still be allowed to obtain contributions, however small, for the sustenance of her own population. There is also every reason why tho question of our export of ore to Germany should be closely reexamined. "But this is not merely a Swedish- Gcrmaa affair. Thc crimes committed by order of the German government against our Swedish steamers and their crews on the open sea on their way home to their own neutral country with food which is absolutely essential is thc expression of a spirit which Is irreconcilable not only with Swedish and ordinary neutral Interests but with the development of the whole of humanity toward a higher civilization. Not until that spirit is definitely defeated will humanity be free from the consequent threat of a relapse Into barbarism which is doubly dangerous from the fact 'that It has at its disposal all thc resources of thc highest technical culture. To conquer that spirit is the giant task of the world war. The allied democracies are fighting It at-nis lnirand.

ITALIAN MINISTER CONFERS WITH BRITISH SECRETARY (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, July 30.—Italy's foreign minister arrived here today for a conference with thc Hrltlsh foreign office. TROPICAL YAM IS FOOD PRODUCER PANAMA, Republic of Panama- Increased activity in the direction of increasing local food, supplies'. has brought out some Hntevestlng ft10*8 about what Is probably the most abundant food produced per unit of area of any plant known. This is the tropical yam. A yield of 60,000 pounds per acre Is well within thc possibilities of this remarkable tuber. Comparing these figures with those for the banana, the most prolific of all extra-terrestrial food plants, one finds lhat Qie banana may produce as high as 30,000 pounds per acre, while the greatest known yield of corn was about 15,000 pounds. The yam is a big tuber, somewhut like a sweet potato. Individual yams may sometimes weigh as much as 30 pounds, while tew fall below five pounds. About 15 pounds per hill is a good average yield on favorable soil. Three thousand hills muy bo planted lo the acre. The Panama railway's commissary plantations 'are planting more than 100,000 hills of yams on tho cunal zone lands. Tho method of propagation Is lo cut off a small portion of the yam, with the outer covering on— about 15 cubic Inches—and plant this in the center of a "hill," which has been mado by digging out the earth to a depth of 18 inehes and then refilling thc cavity and raising the earth to a small mound 18 inches above tho ground. These hills are about a yard square and 3000 and 4000 to the acre, according to the soil. The yam produces a long, climbing vine, which is usually supported on sticks, thought it may run ou banana stalks, if planted between thc latter. The present retail prlco of yams Is about 5 cents a pound, -so It appears that a gross return of 43000 per acre is a possibility. A thousand dollars to the acre Is a safe estimate at present prices. Of course the labor Involved ln growing and marketing yams Is considerable, but this wdrk nevertheless is extremely profitable at the prevailing prices. The vegetable Is quito commonly eaten by canal employees, and Is more valuable for food than the white tor "Irish") potato. Tho yam belongs to the family of the dloscorea, there being , throe species planted in Central America—the alata, white, sativa or black and the trlphyl- la, or Indian. The white yam Ib' the commonest. As a source of * starch thc yam is of great potential value, although yucca or cavassa Is a strong rival In that field. Cavassa is only slightly less productive than the yam. Men's Suits $2.00 Chemically cleaned Removes all the dirt, leaving f them fresh and clean. H. K. Foot High Class Dyer and Clsanar NELSON, B.

OKLAHOMA OPENS UP , RICH OIL WELLS OKLAtflOMA OITV, Okla.—A 12,000- barrol gusher which has recently boen brought In on the Bird and Ornhum Jense in Osage county, near Hominy has caused great excitement lh that seotlon of the Oklahoma oil fields. This w< 11 la (tlie of the biggest ever «ttM«k In OKlahoniH und Us d^overy has caused the prices of leases to ad vance ln lhat locality. This was tho second largo well within a week in the iHtamlny field, tho Sinclair company having brought in a 5000-barrel well on a -ISO-acre lease, for which it paid $12,- 000,000 about a year ago. Just at this time when the. federal government is expected to make heavy demands upon the oil Industry for fuel oil and fedined products In connection with prosecution of thc \jfsr, tho development of big producers is considered most fortunate. Oil men say that the western portion of Osage county, which has not yet been opened up, promises to be one of the richest oilfields in the. United States. This land belongs to the Osngo Indians nnd cannot be leased from them without approval of the interior department. It Is said that one reason for holding these leases off lhe market is that the federal government does not desire to release any more royalty money into tho hands of the (isnges, who are already the richest Indians in the United States, if not ln the entire world. The government, It is said, has desired to conserve this enormous res- servolr of reserve wealth for thc future needs of thc Osages. FRANCE GIVES TAPESTRY IN RETURN FOR HORSES BU1CNOS AYRKS, Argentina — The French government, through M. Julle- mier, Its minister here, has sent a noto to the ministry of foreign affairs offering as a present lo thc Argentine people a Gobelin tapestry entitled "General San Martin In the Pass of the Andes." executed in accordance with the drawings of tbe artist, Roll.

Dr. Pueyrrcdon, acting minister of foreign affairs, has expressed the appreciation of this government for the handsome present, and has consented that it be exhibited as requested.
