Robert Rogers, minister of public works, was made by Sir Robert Borden ns soon as the house met today. Me merely stated that the resignation had been received by him and accepted with the consent of his excellency the governor general. Sir Robert then proceeded to read the correspondence which passed between himself and the ex-minister. When Sir Robert concluded, he said he had nothing to add except that he desired to disclaim any intention of reflecting on Mr. Rog. ers. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that the resignation of the minister of public works hud been expected for some time. Nobody was taken by surprise. It had been expected, however, that the prime minister would ask for Mr. Rogers* resignation, but instead, Mr. Rogers had resigned and complained of the leadership of the party. It was a party quarrel, or more correctly speak ing, a domestic quarrel. That being the case he had no observations to offer In regard to it. Sir Wilfrid closed with a reference to himself, saying that It wns his de sire on all occasions and In all clr cumstances to discharge his duties as leader of the opposition in tho manner In which he deemed In the Interests of the high task on which the country Is now engaged. ■ ■$ LAURIER BALKS AT Pins Faith to Voluntary Enlistment SMS VIEWS Senate by Majority of One Strikes Out Provision in Provincial Prohibition Measure.

Would Delay Matters by Conferring With British Authorities (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Aug. 21.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier has sent to Frank Wise, honorary secretary of the Wln-the-War league of Toronto the following letter In response to a request for a statement of his position on tho issues of a union government and conscription. Sir Wilfrid's letter is as follows: "Ottawa, Aug. 21, 1017.—Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the Hth Inst, enclosing a resolution of tbe Hamilton branch of the Wln-the-War league, to which my attention Is desired. The resolution is addressed to mo In tho following language: "We understand that you have again been approached to join in tho formation of a union government and as you have on more than one occasion stated thut you ure In this war to a finish we appeal to you to cooperate by putting n definite limit on the time you desire for the continuation of voluntary enlistment, and by stating the methods you wlBh to have followed. We nppeal to you also to state that If this effort for volunteers should fall to produce the men for tho necessary reinforcement of tho forces nt the front you will, agree to -u.p^inrt Conservative measures.** "I would have thought that my recorded utterances In and ont of parliament would have left no one In doubt ns to my opinion on the different Inquiries of the above resolution. But since there nre some of my fellow citizens who express the wish for a further expression I doom it my duty at once to comply with the request. "At the opening of participation of Cnnnda In support of Groat Britain and her allies, It seemed trident that, oven at that early moment, tho war was above nil else a struggle, not only for the supremacy, but for the very existence of democracy and of civilization Itself, and this truth has become more nnd more manifest as events developed until even the American people, though strongly averse to war, had also to enter the conflict.

OTTAWA, Aug. 21.—The' air at the japltal tonight Is full of conflicting iWes as to the possibility of success -jifPUHure of the negotiations for the jrganlzation of a union government, While lt was asserted ln some quarters hat tho negotiations have resulted In iracttcal failure, it was asserted ln tthers that they are progressing satisfactorily. Government reorganization In some form is sure to be an- tounced some time In the near future, iut until next-week there may be no infinite decision as to the number of ion-Conservatives to be brought Into he cabinet and the ministers who a*111 retire to make room for them. It Is recognised by all that the correspondence between Sir Robert Hor- jflfO and Hon, Robert Rogers, which was read In the house today, as well as sir Wilfrid Laurier's open letter to the secretary of the Hamilton Wln- the War association, will have some direct bearing on the situation. Just .what the effect may be will not be realized for a day or two, Negotiations which have been ln progress here have been discontinued for the present. W. H. Wood, president of the United Farmers of Alberta, and T. A. Crerar of Winnipeg, left Ottawa for the west at midnight. It Is understood that while Mr. Crerar Is altogether likely to bo a member of the reorganized government, Mr. Wood has practically decided not to be. Hon. J. A, Calder and Hon. A. L, Slfton, It Is stated, have also promised to give a final answer at a later date. Should these reports be correct, It Is apparent that there can be no formal announcement by the premier this week. i Rumania, However, Are Compelled to Cede Further Ground to Auitro-Germant (By Associated Press.)

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN ■FRANCE, Aug. 21.—Thc battle of to. day has followed the course of those of last week, Except on a small part of the front our attacks achieved their purpose, in spite of thc desperate resis tance of the enemy. Then began a period of confused fighting all over the area involved, with frequent organized enemy counter-attacks, which were pressed to the utmost limits of the enemy's endurance. The first of these which had success were directed against an important trench junction, After a hard fight a company of Germans secured a footing there and despite the concentration of heavy guns upon it, remained in possession for several hours. The trench was subjected to bombing from our positions and gradually the enemy was driven back. A short distance to the south, in the region between St. Laurent and Lens, the enemy next tried to relieve the stranglehold of Its assailants by a full organized counter-attack, This assault, set afoot about 2 o'clock, had not even a temporary success. Our vigilant und tireles sartillery turned many guns upon the Germans and the attackers never renched our positions. Fighting Is Terrific. Due south of Lens, almost two miles around a semicircle front from the scene of the fighting just described, a series of small engagements was fought which for hard hitting on both sides has seldom been equalled during the struggle at Lens. The cellars in this region had been crammed full of machine guns and trench-mortars in expectation of the Canadian attack. The enemy troops were also numerous and they swarmed up from the cellars whenever the artillery fire was suspended to permit our infantry to go forward. They fought and died without any "kameradlng" pleading here. 'From one of the cellars a licutonant of a Quebec battalion who had been missing since the beginning of tho fight a week ago, emerged ln compnny with a private of the same battalion who had been captured with him. Thoy had been held for six days In a cellar Immediately behind the German front line, probably because of the difficulty of getting them out of Lens.

The town of High River fs practically the centre of.the area covered by the storm. In this area it is estimated there are at least 150 square miles and the destruction was complete In a district which promised a return In crop sufficiently to be regarded as a record breaker, Tho storm was of short duration, however, but It caused a destruction cslimuted In loss of crop at 800,000 to 1,000,000 bushels. Garden produce, hay that had not been cut, are literally ground to a pulp and all that was growing In the wake of the! storm has been more or less damaged.

OTTAWA, Aug. 21,—Subsequent to the formal announcement by Sir Robert Uorden of the resignation of Hon. Robert Rogers as minister of public works, and the acceptance of the samo, tho house again resumed the consideration of thc military voters' measure which was under review Mondoy, Some headway was made with the bill, but not a great deal. Opposition members continued lo claim lhat a number of Its provisions should bo amended in order to assure a fair taking of thc vote. The trouble was over clause four, which provides for the appointment of the overseas officials who will take the vote, thc Liberals maintaining that the opposition should hnve tho right to have a say In connection with the naming of the officers other than scrutineers. At thc evening session there was a division on an amendment moved by Mr. Pugsley to the effect that an even number of presiding officers should he appointed, and that one half of them should bo nominated by the premier and the other portion by the leader of the opposition. He maintained that if this amendment wore not accepted it would ho proof that the bill was so designed as to permit of fraud. Hun. C. J. Doherty said that the bill had been carefully drawn and was in every way so designed ns to protect all parties concerned. He maintained lhat the government could not abdicate Its functions and that ns It must be responsible for tho administration of the act it should name the officials, When the vote was taken the amendment was rejected on a division of 48 to 42, n government majority of six. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 21.—Sir Douglas Haig has sent a congratulatory message to Arthur W. Currie, whose two Canadian divisions defeated on Aug. 15 four German divisions.

Hard smnshos against the Germans in France have again been productive of Important gains for the entente allies. North of Verdun the French have captured additional points of vantage, while the Canadians have fought their way forward nearer to tho heart of tho town of Lens, taking 2000 yards of positions west and northwest of the town.

Springing at their surprised foe. with their usual intrepidity, the Canadians put the enemy to the bayonet and forced them into their trenches. With the Meuse river, the French troops have kept up their vigorous offensivo started on Monday and hnve been rewarded by the capture of additional important positions. West of the Coto Louie river, a point of considerable strategic valuo, and the village of Somnoux and fortified trenches over a front of about a mile and a half of territory connecting Snmogneux with the defenses on Hill 344 are In the hands of Hon. Petain's forces. Counterattacks by the Germans nil along tho new front have been repulsed by the French. In nddltlon to more than 5000 prisoners taken by the French in Monday's advance, captures resulted from the attacks of Tuesday. The German war office, possibly with the Idea ot heartening the people at home, says the counter-attacks by the Germans have driven out the French from almost all the positions thoy captured on the Verdun front. It adds that the German troops and their leaders anticipate a favorable ending of the Verdun battle. (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 21.*—Two thousand yards of Gorman positions west and northwest of Lens have been captured by the Canadian forces in another drive started early loday. says tho British officlnl communication this evening.

Both Offensives Start at Same Time, But Currie's Men Soon Take Upper Hand (By Dallv News Lensed Wire,) BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Aug. 21.—(By Associated Press.)—The fierce battle which began at dawn today on tiie outskirts of Lens continued through the day at closo quarters this afternoon and there was no diminution In the intense struggle between the attacking Canadians and the Germans. The Canadians this morning fought their way forward with bombs and bayonets and occupied Important enemy defenses northwest and south west of the heart of the city and since then the Germans have been sending In wave after wave of infantry in desperate counter-attacks. The Canadians have held strongly and the Germans have suffered heavy casualties as they must have expected from the nature of their counterattacks, In which no thought Is given to the loss of life. Both offensives hnd begun ut tho samo hour, but heavy mists hung over tho ground and tho Germans were apparently unaware of j tho Canadian preparations until tho Canadians were upon them with the bayonet. Brief but bitter fighting occurred in No Man's Land. The German officers tried to rally their men against the Canadians, but tho enemy infantry gradually fell back to the trenches which they had just left. The Canadians followed and leaping on the parapets, threw masses of bombs down among a great number of troops which had been collected for the attack. On the southwest, tho Canadians wero equally successful after very heavy fighting, In which the British artillery wus brought into play. Tho most strenuous lighting late in the day was proceeding in tho centre of the line west of Lons and on a little front near tho left of the northwest positions, but thc whola line was a seething cauldron. The Canadians have achieved their immediate object by drawing their lines still closer about the heart of the city, and thoir goal, unless tho German counter-attacks succeed, is assured. By today's attack the Canadians hnve gained possession of many railway embankments and colliery sidings which afford excellent positions for either offensive or defensive operations. The Canadian assault extended from the northwest environs of the city to positions in the southwest suburbs and as the Germans wore already advancing to attack the new Canadian defenses, the fighting quickly assumed tho character of one of tho most sanguinary conflicts which this battle-scarred theatre has seen. On the northwest, tho Canadians nnd Germans clashed in No Man's Land, as tne first gray streaks of day were appearing. From the start It was a struggle with hand bombs and bayonets, but tho Canadians threw themselves upon the enemy with such fierceness that the Germans wero forced to withdraw, battling step by step until the Canadians had penetrated their positions to a depth of several hundred yards and takon up new positions, which thoy are holding against bitter counter-attacks. A circular Hue around which the opposing forces now are fighting Is drawn close about tho city proper, which the. Germans had fortified thomselves In concrete collars and dugouts. No estimate of casualties or prisoners Is yet possible, but captured Germans wero beginning to arrive back of both fronts ut un early hour, _ ^ PAGE TWO THE DAILY NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1917 Leading Hotels of the West Where tht Traveling Public May Obtain Superior Accommodation.

LONDON, Aug. 21.—The coroner's Inquest into the Bramshott accident last Thursday, when during*'* a sham battle a land mine was accidentally exploded and six Canadians were killed and 23 wounded, a verdict of accidental death was returned today. INSTANT POSTUM instead of tea and coffee on the family table makes for better health and more comfort. Preferred by Thousands "There's a Reason (Continued from Pago One.) expressed in the resolutions whicli have been passed, a committee of not less than 15 he named by those who called this meeting to meet and consult with committees, Conservative or otherwise, which may be appointed by other organizations of electors who may hold similar views and may be willing to cooperate, with the objective of bringing out as a candidate In South Winnipeg (if an election Ih unavoidable, and we express the hope that it may be averted) some suitable person who will unequivocally endorse the views of this meeting," The chairman, amid loud cheers, pointed out thnt this was the most important resolution of all, for it provided the machinery essential to placing a union win-the-war candidate in the field for South Winnipeg. Calls for National Government The resolution referring to national government follows: "Deeply impressed ns we nre with the need of uniting all classes of the country in a common effort for thc vigorous prosecution of the war and believing that all electors should place this necessity above party politics or any other consideration: "Be it, therefore, resolved thnt during the war a national nonpartisan! government (preferably under new leadership) and regardless of party affiliations, should be established, representative of all who believe that our country's honor and safety demand the putting forth by Canada of Its full power as the only assurance of victory." Not Machine-Made Meeting The meeting was held in the great convention hall of the Industrial bureau, South Winnipeg, a constituency that has an electorate on th* Dominion franchise of more than 30,000 and thnt regards itself as one! of the nlvotal constituencies of the west. Ex-Mayor R. D. Waugh ncted as chairman and A, E. Bowles, a local barrister, acted as secretary of the meeting. Mr. Waugh, In opening the meeting, said he was not going to say anything about the late Liberal convention held In the same hall. The present was not a machine-made meeting, but a meeting of citizens freely gnthered together to discuss serious public questions. lie struck a responsive note in the audience when he recounted how in his term as mayor of Winnipeg in the opening years or the war he had promised the boys of Winnipeg, and the boys of tbe west puss- ing through Winnipeg, that they would be upheld in their fight even as in the stress of battle Moses had upheld the hands of Aaron. So had he spoken then, so now he still spoke to the people of Winnipeg and the west. "Are we fed up on the war; nre we at home slackers?" asked the speaker. Must Be Pledged to Win War "Cannot we be as loyal as our heroic boys at the front? What can we do? We can do this: We will support no government at Ottawa that Is not there except for thc sole business of winning the war. 1 am not speaking of Tory or Liberal—I am speaking of a nonpartisan union government devoted to that purpose only. "We Liberals," said Mr. Waugh impressively, "can follow nn leader who is not pledged to this single purpose." Mr. Waugh concluded that the Individual elector would cast his ballot solely in relation lo his duty to the boys nl the front. Liberals Shocked and Stunned On the invitation of the chairman, Isaac 1'itblado, K.C., then addressed the meeting on the subject of the present gathering. Many Liberals In South Winnipeg had been shocked and stunned by the result of the Liberal convention In Winnipeg when the world was told the Liberals of western Canada were against conscription and for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Therefore, this meeting of protest had been culled, not to criticize nor to justify the delegates at that convention, but for the purpose of putting in concrete form the sentiment of thc citizens of South Winnipeg on national issues. That convention hnd its good fects; it hud been the rough jolt that had awakened the people from their lethargy and had crystalized the public opinion to put the honor, of Canada before pnrtlzan politics and tlie business of winning the war before party opportunism. Couldn't Endorse Laurier Personally, the speaker was out- and-out in favor ol" compulsory military service and of the compulsory contribution of wealth. Me could not, in this crisis, endorse the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Liurier. however, he might admire his sincerity and the great contribution he had made in the past to Liberalism, Mr. Pitblado proceeded to read the resolution that had been drafted lo include the conscription of men. But subsequent events, he said, had shown that some at that convention had regarded this as an equivocal resolution, facing two ways, for the purpose of playing politics. This, said the speaker, was proved by the fact1 that the resolution hnd proved satisfactory and cheering to Kir Wilfrid Laurler. i "Knowing," said Mr. Pitblado, "Sir Wilfrid's views on conscription, I cannot be satisfied with a resolution on conscription lhat he finds satisfactory and cheering," Were the Liberals of South Winnipeg satisfied wilb such a resolution? ("No, no." from many parts of the hall.) There were, said Mr. Pitblado, a |;irge number of wln-the-war dele- gales, but over the whole convention was the sinister influence of men pledged in ndvance to tlie leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurler. Party Polities Ruled Convention The speaker quoted thc published account of a Calgary delegate In the Calgary Albertan who said that the convenllon had been stamped by the honorable Charles Cross of Edmonton, who had declared that he was for Laurler first, last and all the time. Party politics had ruled the roost What was the moral? Must It not bo to inflame the sentiment of the cltl- j zens of South Winnipeg to put pntrlo- j tlsm before party. Mr. Pitblado said ho hnd been called a traitor to tho Liberal party; he would rather suffer under that name thnn be a traitor to his true self nnd to his Liberal prln olples. ; The speaker said four resolutions would be presented. The first, in favor of conscription, of men and wealth; the second la regard to the alleged leadership of Sir .Wilfrid Laurler and the third In promotion of a union government. The-fourth would deal with the necessary measures to thnt end. Mon. A. B. Hudson, nttorney general of-Manitoba, who spoke next, said he was in favor of conscription of men nnd wealth; as a Liberal he denied the leadership of sir Wilfrid Laurler, and he wns heartily In favor of a' union government devoted to a win-the-war policy. Mr. Hudson proceeded to discuss tho situation. The life of the present parliament could not be extended under present conditions. They were faced by a general election. -The only alternative was thc formation of a union government, with so considerable French-Canndlan representation ns to Insure a fairly unanimous body of opinion in parliament for the extension of the term of the present parliament. Otherwise they faced nn election on racial lines with the possibility Ihnt not alone Sir Wilfrid Laurier nnd Quebec would he returned to power, but that the Quebec ultra- inontanes would he In power. It had been lhe hope of himself und the other Manitoba delegates to the lnte Liberal convention that a middle way would be found in which the country could agree. They had been disappointed, and now the responsibility fell on those who bad the negotiations In hand for forming a win-the-wnr government. Norris Repudiates Laurier Premier Norris, who followed, snid that, the Liberal convention held two weeks ngo had heen called because the parliament of Canada had reached a deadlock and had appealed to western Canada for a lead. Great had been the expectations. Conservatives had hoped, perhaps, that the convention would deliver tlie western Liberals bound hand nnd foot into the hnnds nl the Conservntlvc party. Some Liberals, perhaps, had thought thnt the convention would lead the Llhcrnl party away from the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He himself had been greatly disappointed by the outcome of the convention. (Cries of "Quit stalling; come out flat footed.'*) After order was restored, Premier Norris said that, the resolution adopted by thc convention might be endorsed by any Liberal, but the war solution and the resolution dealing with Laurier's leadership had been laid open to misconstruction. He had supported the resolution on war, but he had not been In favor of the resolution supporting the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. I am not In favor of It now," said the premier, nmid cheers. Mr. Norris then rend n resolution he hnd submitted, advocating the formation of a western Liberal group pledged to no leader. But this had been defeated by the delegates from the far west. He believed that his solution of a solid western Liberal delegation sent to Ottawa pledged to support any government single in Its aim to win the war was the correct one, Manitoba Liberals, said Premier Norris, bad not yet abandoned thc hope of a solid western group. But If thai was impossible of attainment the next best thing would be a national govern- ent which would have the authority to enforce conscription, it was the duty of all Canadians to do what they could to form a national government and to form it at once. The present Conservative government had failed in its task. Influence should long ago hnve been brought to henr upon Sir Robert Borden to form ii uiitlonal government, lint It was too late. Laurler had refused lo conu> into such a government. Will Support Borden in .Effort. "I hnve nothing more to say," said Premier Norris, "except that our leader having failed us, I am now ready to support Sir Robert Borden in the for- inntion of a national government pledged to win the war." Whatever mistakes hnve been made In the past, it was up to the citizens of western Canada to forget them for tbe moment and to unite for a national government. He wns willing to join hnnds with anyone prepared to work to that end. Sir .Robert Borden hnd shown his sincerity by offering to re tire if that would facilitate the niiject of them all. Incidentally and amid grenl nppluuse Premier Norris mentioned the name of Sir Adam Beck as big enough and trusted by them nil for sueh a heavy responsibility. Premier Norris stated thnt he considered that if a united government of tbe business men of Canada could bo formed, It would receive the support of ul) Canadians and thus remove the need for an election. The premier concluded by saying that the government of "Manitoba and every member of that government stood for conscription and was behind the wnr to thc last man nnd the mat dollar. The resolutions ns given nbove were then .adopted unnnimously.

How to Beautify a Summer Soiled Face It's really a simple matter to renovate a face soiled by sun, winds or dirt. Ordinary mcrcollzed wax, used like cold cream, will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy whiteness and velvety softness. It literally peels off the outer veil of surface. skin, but so gently, gradually, there's no discomfort. The wornout skin comes off, not In putches, but evenly, in tiny particles, leaving no evidence of the treatment. The younger, healthier, underskln forming the new complexion is one of captivating loveliness. One- ounce of mcrcollzed wax, to be had at any drug store, Is enough to remove- any tanned, reddened, pimpled, freckled or blotchy skin. Apply before retiring, washing It off mornings. Many skins wrinkle easily with every wind that blows, with heat, worry, etc. An excellent wrinkle remover, because it tightens the skin and strengthens relaxed muscles is a wash lotion made as follows: Powdered saxolltc, 1 oz., dissolved in witch hazel, % pint.

C—The question of an interallied council on shipping; aad control of the world's tonnage was under discussion recently between the shipping board and, Thomas Royden of the British mission*. Thc understanding is that after the wnr ench nation, is to have its share of trade, and that thore will be no opportunity for any one nation to gain a monopoly. For Instance, Germany; a nation which tbe nllled governments know hns planned to dominate!-world shipping, will have her share but no more. The conference referred to, however, has the subject before It of the immediate necessities of the situation. A previous proposal- under which this government would have become a member of the conference, was dropped when It was discovered that American ships caught on the other side of the Atlantic without con] would become subject to British regulations which might hnve forced them into carrying trade. Before thc United States' entered the war mnny United States vessels which hnd to' coal in British ports wore compelled to carry British cargoes. The interallied conference now directs the operation of nil British, Italian and French ship!*!, and fixes the freight rate that may be' charged. The United Slates government wilt get the control of rates charged by United States vessels when It requisitions the United Stntes tonnage now on the seas. Requisitioning will begin ns soon as a definite program is agreed on. The board conferred with Andrew Tardleu of the French mission. The French are finding difficulty In obtaining ships to transport supplies they have bought In this country, and have asked the -board to Increase the amount of tonnage allotted to them. which led to regeneration and salva- tioh. In spite, however, of them great hopes and of all the promise of the f'u tu«*i ■ they,- as the men'who were gov •ernlngt had to deal chiefly with what ■was now .going, on, with immediate contingencies and with actual facts, These facts had called imperatively for action, and they hnd acted; their armies had just dealt'a telling blow on the enemy and the new operations were begining under favorable aus pices. Right and liberty were fight ing for them and every day the soldiers gained a better appreciation of the great part they had to play. "Let us have confidence," added Prince Lvoff ln conclusion.

G, M, Waring, of the Canadian Grenadier Guards overseas battalion, gives a good idea of thc thankfulness with which the Germans get taken prisoners. According to the letter thoy seemed to he all ready for surrender, with their haversacks packed. Extracts from thc letter arc as follows: German Red Cross Men Good "1 am writing this in front of a cherry fire. Wc arc four of us, In an old cellar. The balance came out of thc trenches after going over the para pet again. I was left in our trench with two other signallers and two strecher bearers to help guide out the wounded and prisoners, and it wasn't a nice job at all as thc shelling was terrifying and the prisoners were blue with fear, They were a good lot, though, all Saxons and called us all Kameruds.' I had quite a talk In French with a Fritz corporal of the 146th battalion, Saxons. He said they wore not against the British. They wore very chummy with us, giving us brandy, cigars and rye bread, and their Red Cross men did wonderful work with our wounded. There wero three of their Red Cross men and they worked with our men out in shell holes undor terrific shell fire, doing fine work. They Had Had Enough "It was rather comical—yours truly leading out a parly of Frltzles, hold ing on to an old bomb which I'd never had to use, anyway, and IB Frltzles following behind, meek as lambs, more anxious to get out than we were, in the trench all I had to do to take a party anywhere wns to JUBt turn round, Bay, 'come on Fritz' and walk ahead.

He pointed to us all—prisoners and captors—and said, 'Alt Saxons und Itamerads/ The poor Frltzles were demoralized with fear at their own shell fire.

Prince Lvoff stated that he had ample reasons, for declaring himself an optimist. A revolution In an empire which covered a sixth pnrt of the habitable globe could not be carried out by sprinkling rose water; the wonderful thing about it, ns a mutter of fact, was-tht*} comparative restraint with which it had developed. Their allies had certainly no reason to regret Its occurrence. They saw certain difficulties for which thc revolution was responsible, but possibly they wero unaware of thc state of things which would have supervened had the ancient regime lasted a few months longer. Few of their allies* were sufficiently well informed to be aware thnt at the beginning of 1917 Russia wus In thc lust stages of disorganization, and that In a very short time disaster and.' general collapse would have followed; Theso evils, the existence of, w(ilch' outsiders had not recujniii'.fid,,wojiild,hftyq been far worse thnn the upheavals which the revolution luid substituted for them. Certain sensational Incidents had made n great Impression on European public opinion, which failed to rcallzo that a groat effort was going on silently to turn Into channels thc current of social life In Russia. The government was working to bring about I) state of order and public safety, they were replacing the police by militia and establishing communal ami district councils, agricultural and food supply committees; and things were progressing. Gradually, the government found itself able to issue Its orders and, when ncccssnry, to punish, because tho mass of the people were dally becoming more conscious of the necessity for stato control. These were tho results of three months of effort und of uppurent confusion, and three months were in reality a very short time. Two things hud been very oncournglng, even when the crisis wus at its height; the supplies for thc army bud never failed und had.been bettor and more plentiful than under the old regime, and their transport services, which In thut enormous country were of the first Importance, had never ceased, even during the time of their greatest disturbance, to work up to their maximum capacity. Incidents such as thut at Kronstadt occurred here and there und second alarming, but everything was on the way to settlement, and the agrarian troubles in tho country villages were much less acute than those of 1905. , ti Thc revolution hud seriously upset discipline in the army, which indeed had seemed to bo almost reduced to impotence, but it could be stuted that the army was now on the high road to recovery. It hud been reconstituted on a democratic basis, tlie offensive hnd begun, and the allies might be sure that thc military . .strength of Russia had not been' weakened,"by the democratic reforms whlcji' had'' taken place in the ranks of thV amy.' The revolution hud cleared up {We situation so far as their relation** with their al. lies were concerned: "Iii the old days these bud always beeh enveloped In mystery, und this state of things had been productive of misunderstandings und surprises. Now they all. spoke tho same language and'could-understand each other and questions Could bo de finitely settled. Russia would not make a separate peace; that was a fundamental fact, and 'now she waa free to arrive ut a clear understand' Ing with her allies us to the objects of the wur und the best means of pre purlilg for peace. They, saw, . said Prince Lvoff, the dawn of a vast democratic movement throughout the world, the old landmarks were disappearing before the process of transformation which wns going on, and the greut Russlun revolution seemed to be sanding out u fresh breath of 'human 1- turlun feeling to revive the universe. They hoped and believed that In the new Europe the great formula of liberty, equnllty and fraternity, would govern not only the relations of'iuun to man, but of nation with, nation. This formula, practised in ttie"relationships of the pooplen wlthoiio another, would open up an era 'of mercy und of nonoggressI venose, and wduld mark tho end of the barbarous antagonism which hud como down to them from the past They could hot rot-see the dotnltk of the futflfe, they could only KPu*>otoieihlngnf its vhst flerspee- ,*„:.•, hu'i Uf Mils thoy-woi-fl -(Wli-lii, I lu-y wore irully uuvau-jh.i". OM the i>ath OPERATORS WAN PRICES GMimilfD OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Okla homa oil and gas. operators would welcome governmental control of prices of their products and of supplies necessarily used In connection with their industry, i^n the opinion of producers here, Tho high price of casing and other materials used in well drilling, taken in connection with a scarcity of these articles, has placed a serious handicap os the production of oil and gas. Many rigs ore being shut down each day because of a shortage of casing. Governmont control also would stop speculation in, casing, which is Raid to be going on. extensively in the oil fields. While the price of crude oil Is relatively high, producers proclaim thut it Is not In proportion to the high cost of drilling muterinls nnd the heavy demand for oil and its byproducts. Producers In the Healdton field have already appealed to the government for aid ln securing better prices for crude petroleum. They contend that the price Is discriminatory and that thp quality of the oil justifies a higher figure. Notwithstanding some conditions In connection with the oil industry In Oklahoma that seem to be adverse, producers contend that there is no good reason why the people should fear a shortage of gasoline and fuel oil. There Is much opposition among producers nnd refiners of oil and gas in Oklahoma to any action that would limit at this time the amount of petroleum or gasoline to be sold. They point out that this country has been supplying the needs of the allies and other nations in petroleum and its products and that there is still a vast amount of oil ln storage, Tlio position taken by oil producers and refiners in Oklahoma Is that limitations placed ou sates at this time would not only be unnecessary but would Impose undeserved burdens upon the oil nnd gas Industry, und us u result would tend to decrease production. Producers claim that gross revenue nnd income taxes on oil and gas are already supplying vast sums to the government to assist In tlie prosecution of the war. They also contend that reduction in snlcs either of crude- or refined products would drive muny (smaller companies into financial ruin ami force them tb 'dispose' of their holdings to the larger companies. About 13,000.000 barrels of crude oil are. in storage in tbe Healdton field, which have been accumulated in three years. There ure several other large fields in Oklahoma whore millions of barrels of oil are stored, representing the surplus accumulation of several years. Refiners point out that tbe production of gasoline hus been Increased by at least 40 per cent by now methods, namely the cracking system nnd tlie casing-head gas system. Hy tbe hitter process gas from hundreds of small wells, formerly wasted because there wns no market for it. Is utilized by thc manufacturers. The automobile industry of Oklahoma Is opposing any action that would limit sales of petroleum products, especially of gasoline, as il Is apprehended that such action would greatly cut down Bales of motor cars, Makes Cooking a Pleasure No bending over a hot top to reach. . ./.., the dampers—Kootenay controls are- •■■•f-» all on the outside—in front.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1917 GOOD NEWS FROM TWO OF THE ,„' BATTLEFRONTS. War news from the western and; Italian fronts Is particularly encouraging;. In the Verdun region, over ground drenched with the blood of hundreds of thousands who have fallen in the futile efforts of thc Germuns to break through this "door to Paris," General Petain's troops have scored further advances. The strategic importance of the French victories is not touched upon by despatches but the indications are that the chief purpose of the French general staff is to add to tho security of important positions now in its hands by pushing the enemy out of "jumping off" points from which it might launch dangerous offensives. The clash of Canadians and Germans in a* fog In No Man's Land in the Lens region and the rout of tho enemy In .1 hand to hand struggle\vith the bayonet is one of the few battles of the kind which have occurred in this war. It is seldom- that the opposing forces on the western front have met face to face on open ground. The Canadians not only drove the enemy to cover but finally 'captured his trenches. It is an Immense offensive that General. Cadorna Is conducting. lie is attacking simultaneously on all thc main sections'of the widely extended Italian front,*- The measure of success that is tijClng.achieved is given by the thousands of prisoners captured. THE SITUATION ON RUMANIAN FRONT *■ ,., y,..,. Kerensky appears to have succeeded in his efforts to restore discipline to the Russian army, but the situation on lhe Rumanian front continues to be disquieting. In Galicia nnd Bukowina the Russians are holding their own, having brought the Teuton advance to a standstill, but the allied troops have had to give further ground east of the Kokshani-Naraocna-Ajai railway. It Is by advancing in this direction that the German general staff hopes to reach thc rich Bcssarabian wheat fields and, more important still, the great wheat stores at Odessa. It is evident that the Russians and Rumanians are fighting valiantly but it remains to be seen if they can withstand the pressure that is being exerted against them. A PRETTY POOR REASON TO OFFER AGAINST CONSCRIPTION. Delegates to the Winnipeg convention who approved thc voting down of tho Turriff amendment endorsing conscription give as one of their reasons the assertion that Turriff spulu: the views of Sir Clifford .Sifton. ilcnco they refused tho conscription amendment and voted for the iacing-both- ways war policy resolution which met with such warm approval from Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the anticonscriptionist leader, and bis Quebec supporters. Organization Liberals who supported Sifton fur years havo hated him since he voted against reciprocity in 1011. He is now one of lhe hundreds of thousands of Canadians who prefer con- fic'rTpiioh to desertion of the boys in tho trenches. Because he favors conscrip- tlSH (Key ..argue that Liberals were justified In voting down the Turriff conscription amendment. It may be a good political argument, but. it is not impressive as an argument to govern thc formulation of a war policy. Other people may dislike Slfton but they regard thc war too seriously to pretend to think that conscription should not be adopted as a definite war policy just because Sifton happens to support It DOMINION REPRESENTATION TO CHANGE. When the noxt Dominion election taUCs place It will be under the redistribution bill, whicli glVcs the four Western provinces an increased representation of 22 members. The total membership of parliament will be Increased from 221, the present number, to 234. -Quebec retains its present membership, Ontario loses four member* and the maritime provinces lose British Columbia's. representation will be Increased from 7 to 12, that of Alberta from 7 to 12, that of Saskat- •o He wan from 1*} to 16 and that of Manitoba from 10 to 16. Ontario, whichi now has 86 members, will have M. Quebec remains at 66. Nova Scotia (Irons from 18 to 16, New Bruns- i-vjok from 18 to 11 and Prince Edward island from 4 to ,1. The crown prince, taking his pen in hand at his Verdun front headquarters, can report another victory— for tho French. Gen. Petain has put up a few more bars behind that "door to Paris" that the Germans have tried so hard to open at Verdun. It is taking thc Canadians some tlmo to capture Lens, but when they do enter the toWn it will be under conditions which wilt enable them to hold lt. There is a 40 per cent decrease In bacon holdings in Canada compared to the amount on hand Aug. 1 of last year, states the report of Commissioner O'Connor. Baconless days are certainly necessary if a greater shortage is to be avoided. "Knowing Sir Wilfrid Laurier's views on conscription, I cannot bo satisfied with a resolution on conscription that he finds satisfactory and cheering." That Is the answer of Isaac Pitblado, K.C., one of the strongest Liberals In the west, to those who would have tho public believe that tbe Winnipeg convention's wnr policy resolution "includes conscription" and that to have added thc Turriff amendment providing definitely for conscription would have been nothing but reiteration. Yesterday's win-the-war Liberal meeting at South Winnipeg is an Impressive demonstration of the sentiment of the grenft majority of the Liberals of the west. It represents a crystallization of the sentiment of disappointment which was aroused by the western Liberal convention on Aug. 7 and 8 whicli refused to endorse conscription and passed a resolution applauding Sir Wilfrid laurier. Yesterday's meeting repudiated Sir-Wilfrid Laurier and endorsed conscription. I German Opera Bouffe in Persia \ ^********%%%A%AAA + AAAAAAAm\ I WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING\ The Hohenzollerns.

Ever since the days of Prester John and Sir John MaundeVille, strange and peculiarly veracious tales have reached western Europe from the heart of mysterious Asia. During this war, the Germans having no means of communication with their agents in eastern countries, have been forced to rely upon travelers' tales for their accounts of any happenings In distant lands which might be of value to tho German cause. As a result of this blending of Teutonic imagination with an Inexact knowledge of countries derived from a sedulous perusal of the local guide books, the German press and those Butch papers whose editors drink of the pure well of German truth, have published some perfectly amazlng^stories about Persia and military events in Persia during the war. After all, Persia Is a far away romantic country that the German lias always looked upon as pnrt of the lnnds to be subjugated by the central powers. The mineral wealth, of Persia was lo flow to Bagdad, its imports wore to be entirely. German, Its exports were destined to form a large part of tbe commercial plunder that lhe realization of the Berlin-Bagdad scheme would direct to German Industries, and the Germans were confident that, their allies, the Young Turks, could easily overrun the country and reduce It to a state of vnssalge dependent upon the Turkish empire. These dreams are among those other Illusions of world dominion and a Teuton eastern empire that the wnr has reduced, from the realm of high foreign politics to mere bitter memories of happier days. Tlie Turks have not overrun Persia, tho Persians have not revolted against their government, and the British and Russian forces have occupied large portions of the Turkish empire even unto Bagdad. The position of Persia in this great war is not as widely understood as it should be among western peoples, and tbe political and sociological problems that the present state of Persia represents are not widely enough known to the general public for events to be viewed in their true proportion, nn stories of military activity in Persia are circulated from German sources. These accounts arc always inaccurate and perverted and tend to lower the dignity of the Persian nation in western eyes. Persia lias played a proud but submissive part in the great struggle, and thc Persian peoples as a whole have born the stress and turmoil of this trying period in a manner which reflects the highest credit on their national Integrity and the political honesty of their government. Tho first act of war was the invasion of tbe provinces of Azcrbnisdn and Lurlstan by the Turks in direct violation of tho Persian government's proclamation of neutrality. This was the prelude to an orgy of petty rebellions and revolts ugainst the government ot Persia organized by the various German consuls within her borders. Such treachery and ingratitude is only' possible aiming tho representatives of such a barbarous and dishonest nation as Germany lias shown herself to be. Such were the conditions produced by them in tho country, that no governmont move against tho Invaders could bo carried out, and the Russian forces wore obliged to occupy portions of Persian territory In order to drive buck the Invading Turks. The only Persian movement in favor nf the Turks was n comic episodo at Ivermanshah where, at tho cost of much good German gold, a perfectly worthless "popular" movement was started under the ao*;is uf tbe traitor Nizam-es-Sultaneli. Tills 'man was then governor-general of Lurlstan, and had always boon noted for a fondness for Intrigue coupled with a complete incapacity for governing. In the cust, as in the west, personal ambition fre quently is the undoing of officials, and in the Turkish invasion Nizam-es-Sul- taneh saw a chance of becoming » leading figure In place of being a mere provincial governor, already out of favor with the authorities. In 1912 he bad been upon a visit tn Europe, and bad probably been In touch with Ger man agencies. Ho abandoned his post at ivermanshah and joined the Turks and Germans so soon as tho campaign started, receiving a bribe of £KO,000 for this service. It was an exceedingly bad bargain for the Germans, for tlio only assist- unco that ho was able to contribute to their cause was the raising of tlie inel odramatieally named "Division of Von geanco." This remarkable corps wns composed of all tho hud characters in tbe Kermanshah district, and, despite its elnim to be a division, never represented more than some two thousand men. The men had joined for loot, and the officers (who outnumbered tho men),' had Joined for jobs and safe glory—no ono had Jolnod with the slightest intention of doing any honest fighting. The Nizam was appointed by the Turks "Vail," or military and civil governor, of Luristnu, and promptly appointed himself, his son and his relations to various well-paid jobs at the head of some sort of government, establishing Lurlstan on a social- democratic-ropubllcan basis. For a while all went well. The Nizam thought that he was secure and the Division of Vengeance was the outward and visible sign of his ascendancy and power. Then came tho beginning of troubles, The Turks began to lose, and the Russian forces drove them from Hamadan toward the south. In their extremity they sent a message to thc Xizam to bring up his division to reinforco them, but with stouthearted unanimity the Division of Vengeance refused to go to war. The last scenes in the drama of this plnchbek plotter's downfall were pitiable but extremely comic. Behold the poor man, actually offering the whole of the bribe ho hnd received bock!. to( the Turks If they would but, remain In Kermanshah nnd protect hlm( for the Persian governmont had denounced him as a traitor, outlawed him, and confiscated his estates. The bribe wns useless, the Russians were too strong and today the Turks have been driven from Persian soil. The Nlzam- es-Sultaneh wanders with them a-de- fented nnd bankrupt traitor, unpopular with the Turks whom his comic opera "Division of Vengeance" loft In tho lurch, and nnrvblo to rolurn to^iis nil: tive land which he had sold for German gold. The Division of Vengeance dissolved at the approach of fighting. Like the mist on the mountains they fadcM nway, and how It is only tho prevalence of the lavishly distributed German arms and equipment among the Kermanshah tribesmen that remains as a commercial asset and a reminder of the martial glories of the late dlvl: slon, -"The Russian government haa formally handed back to thc Persian authorities the control of the towns and districts they had been forced to occupy. Nearly all of the German conspirators who swarmed in Persia are now safely interned and free to cast off their ^temporary pseudo-Mohammedanism* for their normal atheism; and, with the exception of a small district between Shlraz and Bushlrc where a German-made revolt is still in progress among some mountain tribesmen, order is restored in Persia. A police force of native Persians Is being raised by British and Russian officers lent to tho government of Persia for this purpose, and thousands of Persians anxious to complete the restoration of order in their land ure flocking to the standard. The record of tho German agents lu Persia is a terriblo catalogue of crime. Murder and robbery with violence being customary methods of propaganda with these mon, and crimes for which they will have to suffer according to the law of the land where they were committed for Persia has not departed from her neutrality, and these offenses cannot be condoned as customary acts of Germnn warfare. The future of Persia is extremely hopeful. There is much to be done in the country in the way of development, and within a generation or so she will probably be economically Independent. For the present, Persia will be able to devote all her energies lo internal needs, while under the powerful and progressive influences of Great Britain and democratic Russia, those allies among whose services to small nations, must be counted the preservation of the autonomy of Persia, and her rescue from the irtvndlng Turk. 1 GOOD COUNSEL TO QUEBEC, We are glnd to note that, firebrand as he Is, Henri Bourassa is discouraging thc use of violence by Quebec re- sisters of the conscription law. He points out that "instead of destroying the menace of conscription, those counselling resistance hasten Its application. ... A great number of anticonscriptionlsls of the. English tongue would at once join our enemies to crush all attempts at insurrection, and at the first acts of violence martial law would be proclaimed." Tin Nationalist leader is too astute to counsel the opening of violent strife between his nntiwar-shcop and the an thoritles. When the Military Service hill becomes law tKt** people of Quebec it.ro oxpei-ti'd to suf-iinit-to Its require "ijtcnUi ,. and ccasji their agitation against the national' policy for winning the war.

But though modem armies fight ln the mass, airmen meet face to face. In the sky thc jousts of the knights of old are reenacted, with airplanes for chargers and machine guns for lunces, It Is a fight a Poutranco When two knights of the air meet, and thc loser crashes to death thousands of feet below. * If It was the German genius for organization that gave the German armies such victories In the beginning of the war, it is no less tbe Engllshindl- vlduallsm and self-reliance and love of sport that Have given them preeminence In tho air. And as theso aro qualities lhat are American even moro than they arc English, Americans ought to tako to the air as naturally as the English have done. The exploits of tho English airmen have shown how vitally necessary to victory on the earth is the control of the air. In the now American army too much attention cannot be given to the development of an air service—Oshkosh Northwestern. *■******-*+*■*<*, I A MOTHER SPEAKS HER MIND J *•>***■*■*** •*■*-* *>-*** ************ Not. all the women, any more than all the men, out wost, are paclflts.

NEW EDUCATION BILL IN BRITAIN EXPLAINED LONDON—To an attentive house, Hayes Fisher, thc president of the board of education, explained his new bill in the houso of commons. "Education." said Mr. Fisher, "should bo education of the whole man. Ideals which well-to-do parents set before themselves for tbe education of their families were ideals also for the families of the poor. Thc state has need to secure for all Us young people conditions under which mind, body and character might be harmoniously developed." Mr. Kishor's proposals fell Into two main divisions. First, school developments, including voluntary nursery schools, full time compulsory schooling for all from 5 to 14, part time education up to 18 in lieu of full time attendance at a secondary school and tlio development of physical training in school camps and otherwise, enre being taken at all .stages that.the child should be protected against the competitive claims of industry. Second, administrative developments including nn effective survey of the whole educational provisions of the country and general Improvement of the administrative machinery, both central and local, to include submission to thc board by local educational authorities of schemes, not only for tho progressive development of education in tlielr respective areas, but also for thoir union in groups to deal with matters which could not lie organized effectively by each local authority separately. Those proposals do not go the full length of the demands mnde. by the workers educational association, that asked full lime education up lo 16, and half time instead of part time up to 15, lint thoy constitute a notable advance upon the present conditions of education in England and Wales. It Is not intended that the bill should be further jirocceded with tills session, lt has now been introduced that It may be discussed by all parties concerned be-fore further action is taken. NEW MEXICO CLUBS AID CONSERVATION ALBUQUERQUE, X. M.—In a recent letter to the womens auxiliary, the economic worker sent to San Juan county by tho stato agricultural col lego, writes as follows: "Many clubs have been organized to dry Units and vegetables to donate to tho government. They have chosen this instead of the Red Cross sewing, fooling that adding to tbe food supply is more in their lino," owing to recruiting of men for thc army, thore is a serious labor shortage in many places. The women who havo volunteered to pick and dry the surplus fruit and vegetables are saving to New Mexico tlie larger part of her fruit crop.

LAWS GOVERNING TRAFFIC IN AIR ARE OUTLINED LONDON—Lord Montagu of Beau- lieu, lecturing In London, made striking proposals for the regulation of the great air traffic whicli he is confident will come after thc war. The regulations would hnve to be strictly enforced by International agreements. Under his scheme certain air levels would be limited to certain classes of traffic. The first 2000 feet should be prohibited to all traffic except to thc owner o fthe soil or for purposes of landing, while thc lower altitudes should be used only by machines with silenced engines. The lowest flying level would be reserved for commercial planes, on the ground that they would want to operate ns cheaply as possible. Above this would be tho level for genoral air traffic, alao silenced; while from tiOOO feet to TO.OOO feet would lie the stratum for official planes rff each nation. These would lie used by naval, military and civil forces and by the necessary air policemen. Above 10,000 feet, Lord Montagu proposes tho levels should bo Inter, nationalized and free to all, provided pilots comply with tlm rules for meeting ami overtaking, etc., and that these aircraft bo passed ns airworthy. Aircraft desiring to leave its own levels would use its wireless to ask permission from the national or international flying authorities. Tiie British Empire, lie remarked, is in a particularly favorable position, for its widely separated possessions would enable Hrltish airmen to proceed round thc world over hind and sou without asking concessions from any nation. Lord Montagu thought average speed of commercial flying would pro bably not exceed much over 80 miles MASTERY OF THE AIR. One of the tilings repeatedly brought to attention in connection with the progress of the war in Europe Is the fact that mastery of the air—In other words, supremacy In aviation—Is of vital importance 1n modern warfare When the war began the English were far behind both the Germans und the French in the development of their air service. Now, however, they seem to be mastering the air as they have the sen.

CRESTON. B. C, Aug. 21.—The board of trade Is taking up with tho National Sorvlco board of Canada, as well as the provincial authorities, a comprehensive scheme for providing employment for returned soldiers, which, if undertaken, will, when completed, provide also a most Ideal location, under most favorable conditions for those of the veterans who care to follow agriculture as an after- the-war vocation. Briefly stated, the proposition Is to reclaim 25,000 acres of land in Kootenay river valley, employing returned men on the work and allowing such of them as care to attempt agriculture tracts of the reclaimed land adjoining one another, so as to enable tho British Columbia government to put into practical effect the returned soldier farm colony scheme. The scheme is one unique In its way, being thc uncovering from flood water of a big Inland delta of richest alluvial deposit brought down by tbe Kootenay river and formed at the southern extremity of Kootenay lake. The Kootenay river, with its tributaries, draining the whole of tbe western slopes of thc Rocky Mountains in Hrltish Columbia and the Selkirk ranges, after a bold sweep southward running Into Iho United States as far as Bdnners Ferry. Idaho, from that points turn directly north again to British Columbia nnd Kootenay lake. At the same time, the Lardo river and others run Into the lake at the other end and the combined volume of water passes out. toward the centre of the lake by a passage called thc West Arm, like the downward stroke of a gigantic T, past Nelson and Bonnlngton Falls to join tlie Columbia river. Alluvial Soil Rich Tho outlet of tbe West Arm is, bow- ever, so restricted in size thut lt. Is unable to cope with the enormous volume of water which every spring rushes down from the molting snows of this vast watershed, with the result that Kootenay lake itself is formed, for the time being. Into an Inland sea, raising Us level during June unci July at times 20 feet above Us normal height. When this takes plnce the Kootenay liver meets this floodtldo at Its entrance to thc lake, heavily laden with earthy matter from the mountains, and deposits there a film of fertility which in thu course of unknown geological tlmo has become a bod 1011 feet In depth of richest alluvial soil. The reclamation scheme has solely in do with tho enlarging of the lake's ■outlet. In 1018 a preliminary survey was made by Engineer Muerling, who in his findings reported favorably on thc project, but asked for a moro thorough examination of tbe whole territory before making n final decision. With the outbreak of the war tho next year, the scheme was. for thc lime being, abandoned. American engineers have nisi) spent two season; on tho work and their report, made public about two months ago, wa; strongly in favor of the work being proceeded with, the estimated cost be ing n little over $2,000,000. Fertility of Soil Proved Thc fertility of the soil has been proven. In years when the snowfall Is light and there is no flooding, these lands readily yield 100 bushels of oats. G5 bushels of wheat and 15 tons of potatoes to tho acre. Including tho Idaho area almost 65,000 acres would be reclaimed, and that state is pledged to pay Its pro rata per acre for the cost of the work. The land Is in one of Mie older settled parts of British Columbia interior, already supplied with railway communication by tbe Crow's Nest line, has good highways, educational facilities and every modern convenience, so that tbe province would be at no expense in providing these. The bench land surrounding this to-be-reclaimed area is one of tbe finest fruit areas in all British Columbia. The climate is ideal. It is figured that these reclaimed lands would be capable of carrying HO.OOO to IIO.OOU bead of dairy stock whcnlald down to pasture.

SEA POWER AND THE SUBMARINE LONDON.—Hitherto the high sens of tlie world have occupied the status in international convention of "No Man's Land." i >n them belligerents could meet and fight their battles, while neutral shipping was immune from hostile action unless ils unneutral character or employment could be established or reasonably presumed. The high sens were not neutralized, lieltlgerents could utilize them freely; non-belligerent!* had to sub- mil to visit and search by belligerents. The submarine, in German hands, has destroyed theso conventions. The luture status of the high seas in International law depends upon the persistence of 'non-persistence of the new condition after the war. Tbe discovery of a reply to the submarine which will reduce it to the relative Importance of an ordinary warship will restore the old situation. It will be possible to curb und punish ubniarlne piracy. But should it demonstrate its ability to operate against orchant vessels in time of war with rtual impunity the old balance of naval power Will have disappeared and state of Insecurity and uncertainty will have succeeded it, The ability of a navy, handled with due respect International conventions, to pro- t its own and neutral commerce I have been destroyed. The supremacy of the Hrltish navy on the high seas, which lias rendered them is safe ns a public highway in a civilized country for ii pedestrian, will have given place to an unknown condition capable Of becoming frank ter- Bankrupt Stock for Sale One 8-ft.

OPEN MARKETS,URGED "'' BY GOVERNOR WHITMAN ALBANY, N.Y.—Governor Whitman lias said that he does not Intend that the food gamblers shall delay food legislation. In this state as they did in Washington. In a speech before the State Fruit Growers association, he did not hesitate to say thnt the misapprehension in the mind of the farmer In regard to: his food control proposals was due to the work of the unscrupulous and greed food gamblers, "who have spared neither time nor money In doing all that they could, by every means, fair and unfair, to thwart any iittempt to pass proper food legislation both at Washington and Albany, The governor declares that the very men who aro trying to pose as real friends of the farmers now are those who in the past have been responsible for the unfair1 treatment the farmers have received in the big markets. The proposed state legislation thc governor believes, is in thc interest of the farmer, for he responded nobly to the call for inci-cnsed crops and now, by refusing proper regulation of marketing and distribution It would lie treachery to allow him to suffer through his narti- otlo action. Refusal to encourage the farmer by giving him proper profit nnd efficient distribution will cnuse a food shortnge, the governor claims. Governor Whitman points out that excessive profits to the middleman aro detrimental to the best Interests of the farmer. It is not In tho farmers' interest thnt the price to tbe consumer should be exorbltnnt, unfair nnd extortionnte. As long ns he receives a fair return he will bo benefited by low prices to the consumer, as the demand will bo increased nnd he will have n better market. Tbe governor Is expected to veto nny food bill which provides for flxn- i: THEATRES At the Starland One very colit morning in November when the Atlantic ocean was showing a great deal of its temper, Mary Pickford was taking all sorts of clianceK by being left alone on half sinking craft off the coast of Marblohead, where she was rescued ns part of'the story in her new picture, "The l#de of tbe Clan" at the Star- land U*t*ralrc next Saturday, '-■-' >Htw*-rickfo'vd had. beclrrrutSilh^nl^ and down the son-washed deck, getting real water all over her and frantically crying for help as she felt tho frail craft sinking beneath her. As tbe water got up lo her knees and the cameras kept on clicking she courageously emulated the example of the boy who stood ou the burning deck, until Maurice Tourneur, tbe director, arrived in a motor boal and lifted her to safety. "With her teeth chattering from tbe morning bath and still feeling a little creepy after tbe sensation, she took her director In a corner of the cabin and whispered: "If we nre going to have any more pictures like this, I'm going to learn how to swim." HOLLAND TO TAKE ALL EXPORT TRADE MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay—Tho Uruguayan consul at Amsterdam has reported to his government that the Dutch government Intends to monopolize tbe entire export trade of Holland.

It is rich In the following mineral salts: Calcium, Iron potassium and phosphorus and contains them In such a form that they arc readily absorbed and utilized by the body. The white of an egg Is rich in sulphur. Value As Food Ky comparing the composition of the egg with that of lean moat, it will be noticed that eggs make a good substitute for meat. . Nine average sized Copenhagen Chewing IS THE WORLD'S BEST CHEW It is manufactured tobacco in its purest form. It has a pleasing flavor. It is tobacco scientifically prepared for man's use. eggs weigh one pound and contain about the same amount of nourishment ,as one pound of beef. As eggs contain no starch or sugar they should bo served with such foods as rice, Wead;" fruit, potatoes and other vegetables or made into desserts with sugar, tapioca, and similar materials. Raw eggs are very easily digested. The digestibility of cooked eggs depends upon the manner in which they are cooked. They should be cooked at low temperature. Egg albumen begins to coagulate at 134 degrees F., becomes Jelly-like at 160 degrees P., and when heated to the boiling point, 212 degrees F. becomes a tough' leathery mass and very Indigestible.

"The poorest classes in Holland are struggling desperately foi* bare existence," he said, "and In many cases it has become necessary for lhe government to step in and give them official assistance. Through Die past winter coal has been the most difficult article tn obtain. Prices range from $Gf> to $75 a ton and even then coal could only be purchased with the necessary government distribution cards. Tlie reason for the shortage Is explained by the fiiot that only a small percentage of the coal which leaves England for Holland ever arrives at Us destination. The barges carrying il are either seized or sunk by German submarines. "All kinds of grain has been particularly scarce. Wheat flour has become little more thnn a hazy memory, since most of the bread is made from barley or corn. "Gasoline for automobiles sells at $3 :t gallon tit The Hague, while taxlcah drivers charge $4 for a 10 minutes' ride, and stipulate that thc journey be no longer than three miles, as they are liot allowed sufficient gasoline for a greater distance." Mr. Spitz said that nil lhe traction companies had reduced the operation of their rolling stock one hair to save on coal. The restaurants and cafes all close promptly at 9 p.m., as the municipal electric current is shut off at t h;it hour.

BUftBlOGl, STORES COMHItSlONKB GERMANS ARE TREATING PRISONERS BETTER NOW Although the rations of our Imprisoned soldiers in Germany are less in weight than they were, and not so nutritious In quality, It is asserted that the Berlin -war office has come In the conclusion that, as a matter of policy, it Is wisest lo treat prisoners with a show of decency. At any rale, a Canadian officer in his "prison experiences" tells how at Burg, at one time one of the most infamous camps in thc world, he was allowed many liberties and before lie got his release even some luxuries. "In June," he writes, "they started to take us for walks twice a week along the canal banks or through the forests. This was a grand opportunity for collecting insects and butterflies, and several interesting collections were started in the camp. The relief to be outside the barbed wire lor two or three hours was Immense. Some men, except lo go to prison, had not, been outside the camp palings for nearly two years. "On one of these walks, while talking to the German officer in charge of us, I learnt lhat he had been wounded at Ypres wHlle observing Hie effect of the asphyxiating gas on the Canadians and Algerians. In a burst of confidence he told me that but for that solitary occasion the gas bad been a great disappointment to their general staff, and that the working of It had often caused the doatli of their own men. "I noticed often that while talking to the guards at the different camps, on mentioning that I was a Canadian they would become very reserved, and would point me out to their 'kamerads' while I was walking round the camp. I found out afterwards that Ypres had made a great impression on them, and that they had been told that we never look prisoners and always killed the wounded. "Towards the end of July I left for Constance to be exchanged, and, being solemnly told that I should he in Switzerland in two days time, with a light heart gave away my food, books and games, aud started off with little else but a few clothes for the frontier. "Before leaving Burg I was told to look out'for a fellow Canadian who had been considered quite a character In another camp and wns sure to ho on the exchange list. As our train pulled into Constance at about 9 p.m. I noticed another tralnload of wounded two platforms away. "A head appeared at one of the windows and shouted across to us, 'Hey, any Canadians over there?' At a venture I replied: 'Put your head In, Cooper, the police are after you.' It was a lucky shot. I never saw a head disappear so quickly In my life, And when wo met lt was a long time before I would tell him how I had recognized the voice, "At Constance the orders are, apparently, that all prisoners nbout to bo exchanged aro to be treated with tho utmosti civility, and it 1b curious, after being man-handled through every state in Germany, spat on by the women, kicked by the men, called by every vile epithet known to tho German tongue,, suddenly to find these barbarians on their, best behavior; to be treated,, to real meal at one's meals, to be taken to and from the station In a motor lorry, and to be allowed to travel in second, and fometlmes even first, class carriages." MAY REVOKE CITIZENSHIP OF GERMANS IN BRITAIN LONDON.—Great Britain's secretary of stale for the home department, Sir George Cave, Is busy just at present devising means for the denaturalizing of Germans who, prior to the wnr, secured naturalization and who have since the beginning of hostilities excited suspicion as to their loyalty to thc land of their adoption. In many instances the suspicions have been shown to lie well founded, and they have been Interned until the restoration of peace under the provisions of the defense of the realm laws enacted at tho beginning of the war. The great law officers of the crown have advised the government that while these men can be interned until the restoration of peace under this special legislation, which is merely for the duration of thc war, they cannot bo deported from Hie United Kingdom as long as they retain tlielr English citizenship. On the other hand It is realized that they cannot be turned loose in the British lOmpIre on the conclusion of the war without peril to the llritish interests. The only solution of ibis problem is in the opinion of the government, in deprive all Germans naturalized in Great Britain of their certificates of naturalization. There is ample justification for this in the Delbruck law that Germany enacted In July, 1913, and which enables Germans naturalized abroad to retain their full citizenship In tlie German Empire. That is to say, such Germans remain In thc eyes of tlie kaiser's government Germans still, whatever their adopted nationality, and were and are liable to punishment for treason by Germany If they resist Emperor William's commands or his forces. It is proposed after the cancellation of all letters of naturalization granted to Germans to reissue fresh certificates o£ naturalization to those who can furnish satisfactory proofs of their loyalty to Great Britain, and who have been above suspicion during the present war. The others would be deported as undesirable aliens. It is only in this way that the sheep can tie separated from the gnats, and it is quite on the cards thnt before tbe restoration of peace the United States government may find Itself compelled to adopt some measure of the same Id ml for the protection of national interests and national safety.

Box 24 FARMERS IN PANAMA MAY CULTIVATE RUBBER PANAMA, R. P.—One of the biggest rubber companies In tbe United States wrote il Colon business man recently that the cost of labor in Panama prohibited his company, which owns immense estates In Sumatra, from planting Hevea Braslliensis here. This letter Implies an economic condition of serious import to all of tropical America, as well as to the Interests of occidental peoples everywhere. It means, In effect, that ruinous competition with cheap labor in the east already exists. It is plain that even bananas might be raised and -shipped more profitably from the East. Indies with cheap coolie lnbor than from Central America, but for their perishnble character, and It also means thnt these American countries must long be undor a handicap in competing with the east In the production of any raw materials that will stand long transportation. This is already true of rice, copra nnd even dried fish, besides the Para rubber (Hevea Braslliensis). which, although a native of Brazil, is now bidding fair to be produced in greater quantities in the East Indies thnn in Its original home on the Amazon. Hevea will grow well In Panama. This has been proved by the fact that It was planted here experimentally and has done well. For a good ninny years the rubber world experimented with different kinds of plants—the Castllla of Central America, Manlhot of eastern Brazil, the different varieties of Flciis, the Landolphlas and Funtu- mlas of Africa, with the result that the Hevea has been demonstrated to be the best paying from the point of view of both quantity and quality. The great rubber-growing companies now plant nothing else. Many rubber plantations were slatted In Central America, notably, In Mexico, using Castllla, some years ago. but they could not compete with Hevea. Rubber is an eminently desirable cvop, keeps well, is increasing in demand, and can be grown here as well as anywhere In the world, with very exceptional facilities for water trans- Rings and Brooches THE MOST APPRECIATED GIFTS We have the largest and finest display we have ever shown.

OUR PRICES ARE LOW. J. 0. Patenaude ARTISTIC JEWELER. portnllon. It has been proposed that the big rubber companies be np- proached with a view to asking their cooperation to build up a market for Manama Hevea, even If they will not put capital into plantations here. The reason for this is that Panama farmers might be willing to accept competition with the east on their own account, and might offer to sell their rubber at tbe world's market price, even if their own cost of living is higher, because of the fact that they need some crops that can be held and stored, in fact, a Panama small farmer, raising his own supplies and profiting by the advantages enjoyed here, might find It would pay to raise hevea, in spite of eastern competition, when a company hiring labor would not be able to do so. The main point is that the large crude rubber buying concerns are affiliated with the big planting companies, and it is not certain that these small farmers could sell In small lots at all, unless the big companies would voluntarily consent to take their output. One of the most experienced rubber experts believes this plan for developing the hevea industry In Panama is both feasible and desirable.

CLEVER SPY ARRESTS HUN POSING AS FRENCHMAN LONDON.—"Must have been a pretty village once," observed thc Intelligence officer. "Yes. Makes you hate the bally war, doesn't It?" replied the subaltern at his side. A French village hod stood on the spot. Now oil that was left were a few masses of tumbled bricks, with here and there the remains of a wall showing Its jagged outline above the waste of shell craters. A little way apart lay a great pile of masonry where the chateau had stood, and leading to It could be traced, the skeleton of its once stately avenue of trees. Blackened and torn by shells, they now raised their shattered trunks and limbs to the sky or sprawled in ruin upon the mud. A scene of utter desolation. There wns life enough, though, at the chateau, for Its cellars housed the headquarters of a British division, and cars aad motorcycles nnd orderlies came and went continuously along the road. Then, ns the two officers watched, a figure, different, indeed, from the alert ones, In khaki was seen moving slowly to and fro In what had been the chateau garden. "What's that fellow?" said the Intelligence officer. "Oh, It's an old French civilian. Used to own the chateau. Huns shot his wire. He buried some stuff there. Papers, all right, you know. Got permission from the French and from G. H. Q, to come here. Nice old chap; I've asked him to have dinner with us tonight." "I've got to raise dinner somewhere myself," said the intelligence officer. "Righto. We'll find you some." "Thanks. So long till then," was thc reply, nnd the Intelligence officer went his way. The old Frenchman told many stories during dinner of the coming of the Germans and of their blood lust, and no man could withhold pity from this worn out man with the look of Infinite weariness in his eyes. Finally the Intelligence officer rose. "So long, you chaps. I've got some maps to do. Thanks awfully," he said, and was gone. Five minutes later he reappeared with a sergeant and five men and arrested the old Frenchman. "Happened to be at Bonn university with him, and recognized him, though It Is a devilish good disguise," he explained to thc others. "He's an actor on t he German stage and a duced clever spy."

She asserts that the now regulations arc inspired by political motives, as It was feared that the poilus were becoming too much attached to their aristocratic nurses and were in danger of forgetting the maxims of equality und liberty In their exaggerated respect for titled attendants. Doctors frankly prefer the professional nurse, who can be ordered about in a way her volunteer sister would resent. They say that the unpaid assistant lias her own ideas of discipline.

As the butterfly nurse got out of tho car she raised her snow white uniform and displayed yards of billowing petticoats In batiste and embroidered white silk. "A nice get-up for a day's work," remarked my pessimistic friend. "How the paid nurse must love her."
