"WITH THE CANADIAN ARMY IN irHE FIELD, Aug. 19.—(9 a.m.)—(By P. B. Llvesay, Canadian Press Correspondent.)—So far from being the inception, the story of the fight for pamery that follows is essentially ypical of the work of the incompar- jihle Canadian infantry during the past [1.0; days and here it may be remarked that '■ throughout those operations the Jveather htts been perfect, with good Risibility and not a drop of rain.

IdRlTlSH CAPTURE 700 MEN HEAR OUTTERSTEENE Subcommittee of Privy Council Makes Report—Allowance in Addition to Salaries (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Aug. 19.—Thc subcommittee of the privy council, which recently heard the representations of the letter carriers, railway mail clerks and postal clerks of the postal servlco of Canada for Increases in salary, has made its report, which was today 'adopted by the government and consequently goes Into effect at once. The principal recommendation is that, In addition to all salaries and allowances voted by parliament, they shall be paid a further provisional allow ance for the current fiscal year, n and from April 1, 1918, of $100 to em ployees east of Sault Ste. Marie and $50 to those at and west of Sault Ste, Marie. For many years western employees have received a special living allow ance of $180 over those of the east and this lias been taken into consideration by the committee. At the hearings, thc view was strongly ex pressed to the committee that this differential was not justified under present conditions. The present salaries of those affected by the increases and the salaries which they will now receive are shown in the following schedule: First figures indicate total previous Income and second figures total income as Increased: Letter Carriers In Eastern Canada—Minimum, $87G, $076; maximum, $1189, $1289.. In Western Canada—Minimum, ?105G,'$10GQ; maximum, $1309, ?H!H. Railway Mail Clerks In Eastern Canada—Minimum, $850, $975; maximum, $1600, $1700. In Western Canada—Minimum, $1080, $10S0; maximum, $1780, §1830. Postal Clerks In Eastern Canada—Minimum, $850, $950; maximum, $1880, $1880. In Western Canada—Minimum, $1030, $10S0; maximum, $1880, $1880. It is provided that the above additional provisional allowanc shall not be paid in oxcess of the proportion, which together with any salary or provisional allowance now payable to any employee; shall constitute a suhry of $1880. Another important recommendation of tho committee is that the limitations contained in the vote of the last session of parliament which confined the provisional allowance which was voted to certain employees of the department to married men, 'Widowers and widows with children and to unmarried persons with dependents and permanently employed bo now removed. Tho result is that temporary employees as well as permanent and un- (Continuea on Page Two.) IN LANDS SAFELY Captain Reaches Boston After Seeing His Ship Sunk and Being Taken Aboard U-Boat, (By Daily News Leased Wire.) BOSTON, Aug. 19.—Capt. David Evans of the British steamer Peni- stone, who was taken aboard a German submarine as a prisoner of war after the undersea boat sank his vessel off Nantucket last week, was landed here late today. With Capt. Evans were eight members of the crew of the Norwegian steamer San Jose, also a victim of the same submarine that destroyed the Penistone. Tho San Jose was sunk some time today. Capt. Evans, who had been kept prisoner on tho submarine eight days, was put Into one of the San Jose's small boats, which was picked up later by a government vessel. Twenty-five other members of the San Jose's crew had not been account ed for tonight. Naval authorities refused to give out anything concerning the experiences of Capt. Evans or lhe sinking of the San Jose. Capt. Evans appeared little the worse for . his adventures. Ho was seized by the German commander as he tried to return to his sinking vessel for the ship's papers. The Penistone was sent down 100 miles east of Nantucket, Aug. 11. Her engineer was killed and four firemen wounded by the explosion of the torpedo ip her engineroom. The other survivors landed on the Now England coast four days later, after having suffered severely from Ihelr experience in, opon boats. |Tommies Shove Teutons Back All Along Line—No Signs of - ,*. , - Counterattacks.

There are indications that the Germans also are giving way ln parts of the Merville sector. On the new -Somme front the Germans overlook no opportunity to fight rearguard actions. They appear ready to retire, but apparently want to be pushed a little, because in the pushing operations, they may be afforded an opportunity to get In their deadly work with machine guns. At the same time, the Germans, apparently, do not want to fall back, farther than Is necessary before the completion of the operations around Roye. There are no signs of further counterattacks at this time. Some 40 divisions have been identified as having been engaged in the recent operations. Of these, 27 have been used against tho British and many of them are believed to have been exhausted. That Gen.

Drope was formerly an insurance agent at Reglna and was captured after being wounded at the battle of Sanctuary wood ln June, 1916. He was sent to Prussia the following August and employed on reconstruction work. He then was sent to Hells- burg, one of the worst camps in Germany, where he spent 18 months. He escaped with a couple of Russians across Poland, the journey taking 35 days. Eventually he reached Grodno, where the Bolsheviki gave him free transportation to Moscow.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 19.—(10 p.' m.)— Successive blows delivered against the Germans since Aug. 10 all along the line from the Sommo to Soissons appear now to have brought the operations to a crucial point. After yielding in the early operations, the enemy has been making a desperate stand at critical points in the past few days, but his resistance has failed to overcome tho steady pursuit by the allies around Lassigny and Roye. The French third army made further progress today in tho region of Lasslgny and Thiescourt hills. They have occupied the greater part of Beuvraignes and are forging nearer Lassigny from thc south of Fresnteres and thc Canny woods and also are pressing northward toward Lasslgny by forcing an exit from the Thiescourt wood. These gains were made during tho most severe fighting, the .Germans contesting strongly every bit of tlie ground. Lassigny Is now almost turned to the south and is threatened from the north. It is likely to fall at moment. 1484 DEFAULTERS IN PROVINCE AND YUKON (By Daily News Leased Wire.) VICTORIA, B.

Take 220 Prisoners Around the curve in the battle line northwest of Soissons, the French, from near Carfenont to Fontenoy on the Aisne, a distance of approximately nine miles, have driven tho enemy back to an average depth of more ttum a mile and captured several villages and 2200 prisoners. Report Troops at Roye Unofficial reports record thc cap turo by the British of the railway sta tlon on tho western outskirts of the important town of Koye, one of tho pivotal points on the battle front between the Somme and tho Oise, but there is no official confirmation uf this. Important Gains Viewed on the war maps, the gains in the new operations are most important ones for the allies, for, aside from wide areas over which the enemy has been compelled to acknowledge defeat, the weakening in the German defense is becoming daily more noticeable and apparently within a short time they probably will be forced to commence a retrograde movement oa a scale that will mean the entire blotting: out of old lines and tho taking up of new ones to the east and southeast, possibly from the region of Reims to Ypres. Lys Salient Disappearing The Lys salient is fast fading away under tlio attack of thc British and the voluntary retirement of tlie Germans to new defense positions eastward and seemingly he big: westerly bulge into tlie allied line between Ypres and La Bassee soon must disappear. Under the new gains of the British around Roye, and particularly those made by the French from Lassigny to the Oise valley and northwest of Soissons, tlie Germans now are in a bad predicament. Here their positions are dominated by the allied guns from the west, southwest and south for many miles and apparently a retreat eastward across the plains of Plcardy and over the Somme and even from the western Aisne will be necessitated, Germany's False Report The latest German official communication asserts that French attacks between the Oise and Aisne, delivered over a wide front, failed, but the French war office statement is specific in announcing the penetration of the environs of Lasslgny, the cutting of a passageway through Thiescourt wood and the capture of Pimprez, That there has boen hard fighting, however, is indicated by the British official statement, which says that northwest of Chaulnes the Germans succeeded in penetrating the British line at several points, but later were driven out. Ou the other battle fronts there is little activity, except in tho nature of artillery duels and patrol encounters. issued tonight. They have made their way out of the Triescourt wood and farther south havo captured tho village of Pimprez, on the Noyon-Com- piegne road. Northwest of Soissons the village of Morsain has been captured and 2200 Germans have been made prisoner in this region; ■ The text of the communication follows: "Between tho Matz and the Oise wo continued to make progress during tho day.

The text of the communication follows: "The enemy this morning strongly attacked on a front of a mile against our position between Lihons and l-lerleville.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—That the shortage of labor in war industries, estimated at nearly 1,000,000 men, Is still seriously curtailing production and unless quickly remedied, threatens to result in a shortage ot supplies and equipment for the army was emphasized today in a statement of the department of labor. Tho shortage In skilled labor is becoming almost as acute as that iu unskilled labor. The available supply of unemployed labor is now practically depleted, the department said, and the one remedy lies in the pariotic recognition by non- war employers that they must release labor to war industries in order not to imperil the supply of the military forces. Solution of the problem has been put up to the individual states and Nathan Sm!th, assistant direct or-general of the employment department, today notified all state directors that the "seriousness of the situation can scarcely be exaggerated/ Owing to food conservation Toronto garbage has been cut down more than 7i) per cent TEUTONS ARE HURLED BACK ON LYS SALIENT (Continued from Page One.) terday in the neighborhood of Outtersteene numbered 67G. The machine guns and trench mortars captured by us have not yet been counted." Brilliant Action WITH THIS FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 19.—In a brilliant local operation carried out by Gen. Mangln's troops from the Oise river, near Ribecourt, southeastward to Marsain, northwest of Soissons, Saturday and Sunday, important positions were wrested from the Germans, who left 2200 prisoners in tlie hands of the French. Gen. Mangin now holds the line running from Morsain along tlie southern edge of the ravine of Audignlcourt to Rosette heights, dominating tlie plain of Carlepont nnd thence on the Pimprez, across the Oise as far as Mont Renaud. With the routes commanded by Gen. Mangln's artillery, tbe only free route for exit from the region of Noyon and Lassigny is the narrow gauge line running north to Ham by way of Guis- card and the high road running in the same direction. Unless the German general, Von Hutier, Is able to stop Gen. Mangln's advance, he will have only this narrow outlet for his troops and material, as the triangle along the Noyon-Chaulnes road and the road from Noyon to Guiscard, while a good position for defense, is not favorable for an intense movement of troops and transports. The Germans consequently are fighting desperately to hold their present lines, while seeking a chance to shake off the grip of the allies, break contact with them and slip away. All Objectives Obtained WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 19.—(Reuter's.)—Thc battle lias now extended to both banks of the Oise and the enemy, hitherto fronting on the west, is now menaced on his southern flank. Gen. Mangln's whole objective has been attained along the entire front of 10 miles. Tlie enemy, although he seems to have been aware of a coming attack, had again miscalculated the date and was taken by surprise on a weakly held front, the German commanders apparently having no reserves within call. The allies now command the valley along the whole of its length. The enemy must accordingly withdraw all but his immediate fighting line behind the plateau on ills side of the valley. Thc operation recalls in scope the purpose of Gen. Mangln's attacks at the end of June on similar ground in the Coeuvres-St. Pierre-Algle valley, south of Soissons, which gave Gen. Mangin possession of the valley and then a footing on the heights above, which afforded him a safe departure line for his attack of A,ug. 18, while possession of the valley enabled him to bring up tanks and muster reserves unobserved by the enemy.

Using Parachutes. • The Germans have started Ming parachute's to permit their aviators to escajie from doomed airplanes, as observers escape rrom balloons. A British pilot reports having seen a German pilot jump from u flaming airplane with a parachute and apparently escaped In it. Two remarkable stories of air fighting came to light today. In one a British pilot dropped a bomb on an enemy machine In tile air. The missile broke off a wing of tho German machine /and then Jexplodcd I on , the ground. In the other fight, tho observer of a two-seater machine climbed out on the wing and stopped with his glove a puncture made in the gasoline tank by mi anti-aircraft gun. Tho machino side slipped during the operation, but tho observer remained out on the wing until the ground was* almost reached. Then he climbed back into the machine, which landed safely.

Watters, president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada addressed about 53 persons in tho labor rooms in the Annable building last evening. Sir. Watters explained at length the action taken by the con- garess shortly after thc outbreak of the war and their decision to stand by the government in its administration toward the prosecution of the struggle. In making the decision the congress had considered the comparison between British and French democracy and German autocracy. Tho speaker said that early, in the war he nad wondered what Russia would do as she appeared to be linked with Germany as an autocratic nation. He was not surprised to see Russian autocracy predominate in her war aims. Auto-- cmtic Russia on the side of the allies fighting for democracy had been an anomaly, the speaker said. He had considered that the allies had nothing to gain and all to lose by being linked with Russia. The congress had realized that the crushing of Germany had meant the crushing of Russia by coming into contact with western democracy. Other Factors Working. Although the congress had realized that there were factors working underneath thc government they had considered the condition which confronted the nation and decided to throw thoir lot in to see that Germany was not powerful. They backed the government and gave every suggestion to support It. The congress had not been in favor of conscription, Mr. Watters stated. The Vancouver congress had started the move to support the military authorities in every way but not on a J,' compulsory basis. He said he had read the reports of some business men and boards of trado which had urged conscription because they had little to lose by the taking of their men for war purposes. When it was stated that the United Stales would put an army of D.000,000 In the field the uuestion of transportation was a large one. Also what would be the use of having tho men over there without having sufficient food for them. They would be a hindrance to those who were already fighting. Mr. Watters said he had mado statements which had brought him much abuse from the press in Canada. Some insignificant papers had said that he should bo lynched. The Halifax Herald had made it so hot for him that he could not hold a meeting in the city of Halifax. "If the government had shown their earnestness by taking over the coal mines, the elevators and other concerns is thc Dominion thc men would be tumbling over themselves to kcqp the nation from danger." Mr. Watters spoke of the Industrial depression at the commencement of the war and paid a tribute to Col. Sam Hughes for his work in getting munitions manufactured in Canada. Early in tlie war 18-ponnd shells had been manufactured in England at a cost of about ?u.lu. It had been contended that they could be manufactured in Canada for a little over a dollar. When tlie work had beon taken over by the imperial munitions board the cost had been gradually reduced to $1,50. Sir Joseph Flavellc had said, when thc laborers threatened to strike, that it was not fair for the men to tako away thc-munitions of the boys at the front when they wore facing death for $1.10 a day. The laborers'were fairly well off ami the boys over there could not strike. The speaker had replied from the same platform that the boys over there could be paid $10 a day and their families in Canada be better off if profiteering in the manufacturing of shells was stopped. The speaker said that .Sir Joseph Flavellc was a millionaire and no millionaire could be lionest. He asserted that there was not sufficient difference in mentality between two men that one could1 be worth a million dollars and the other comparatively poor unless the rich man was dishonest. He accused Mr. Flavellc of becoming rich through his dealings in produce and at thc same time telling the laborers that they should not strike for a fair wage or a decent share of the earnings of manufacture. ■ He said that the congress was justified in protesting the conscription measure but, because thc law had been Silk Waists THIS SHIPMENT OF NEW WAIfeTS DOES NOT REQUIRE SELLING THEY ARE SUCH GOOD VALUES AND SUCH DAINTY STYLES THAT THEY SELL THEMSELVES HEAVY JAP SILK WAISTS IN WHITE AND PONGEE Priced for Quick Sale at $4.50, $5.00 and $6.00 WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THESE VALUES THIS SEASON Georgette Crepe Waists EVERY ONE A BEAUTY AND REPRESENT THE VERY LATEST WORD IN BLOUSE CREATIONS Prices from $10.00 to $15.00 Silk Sweater Coats OUR HEAVY KNITTED SILK SWEATER COATS SHOW A VERY FINE SERIES OF COLOR COMBINATIONS THEY ARE BEAUTIFULLY MADE AND SOME ARE FUR TRIMMED EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE STORE OFFERS MOST TEMPTING LINES OF GOODS TODAY Smillie & Weir LADIES' WEAR SPECIALISTS passed It was up to them to cooperate with it. Mr. Watters, when asked after the meeting, said he believed Goodwin, who was shot at the coast, was a' deserter. He did not approve of the action of thc labor council at Vancouver when they threatened to strike, nor did ho believe the returned soldiers had acted wisely in taking such drastic action. There had only been 400 returned soldiers engaged in the affair at Vancouver although there wero about 1S00 in the city. It had not been a representative number of the returned men and there should he closer cooperation, in Mr. AVatters' opinion, between the laborers and the returned soldiers as there were many problems for, them to accomplish after the w/ir. Mr. Walters said he had visited Nel-' son several times but had not really seen the city until yesterday when ho took a walk io some of thc fruit ranches above the city. He had been admitted to one orchard and given samples of the fruit which could be grown here. He had tasted some peach plums and had never tasted anything finer in his life. -He said he was Impressed with the quality and quantity of the fruit. Sir. Watters will spend tlie day in the city and will leave on the Kettle Valley train tomorrow for the coast.

URGES MORE PAY FOR POSTMEN (Continued from Page One.) married persons without dependents of tho clnsses mentioned will now be entitled to such provisional allowance as tho vote provides. Thc provision for tho deduction from this provisional allowance of any permanent increase In salary given since April 1, 1918, is also eliminated. The committee alio recommends that all provisional allowances, Including that which they recommend, be pay' able in proportionate instalments with tho usual salary checks to those entitled thereto . Function of Parliament. Tho committee dealing with tho subject of salary schedules or amendments thereto points out that the establishment or amendment of such schedules has always been regarded as a function of parliament. Any action of this character by order In council would be without precedent and In the opinion of the committee, unwarranted. They further point out that the request for an immediate increase of salaries is based on present economic conditions due to tho war. The report specially states that Jhc allowances recommended are provisional and pending tlio action of parliament upon tho report or the civil service commission which Is now, under legislation of last session, engaged in an Inquiry into salaries nnd classification of the outside civil service and Is, in fact, at present investigating tho conditions of employment and remuneration of the postal employees of western Canada. Council Authorizes Payment. The council at its meeting today in addition to adopting thc report of the committee on salaries of the postal service, authorized, on the rccommen- lation of the minister of customs and inland revenue, payment to officials of the outside service of tbe department of customs and inland revenue receiving less than $1800 per annum-of a provisional allowance not - exceeding $100 each for the present fiscal year, provided that such provisional allowance and salary combined shall not amount to more than' $1800. Thoso in the west who are receiving a special- living allowance oi $1800 will recelvo not more than $50. The ministers of tho several other departments will consider thc salary lists of their staffs of the outside servlco Miith a clew, to such further action as may be deemed proper.

STRONGER INSTEAD OF WEAKER. Announcement from Paris that the advance by the French yesterday established complete connection between the Plcardy and Alsne-Vcsle battle- fronts marks the culmination of the muln strategic purpose of Foch's great drive. Likewise it places on record the complete failure of the German strategy. The great immediate object of the German genera] staff in the spring drives was not so much to reach Paris us to separate the French armies on the one hand and the British from the French on the other.- Once that had been accomplished the Hun generals proposed to crush-the divided armies piecemeal, a strategic scheme which won many a victory for Napoleon notably In his Italian and Austrian campaigns. But the enemy was able to accomplish nothing of the kind. He was able to weaken the connecting links between the allied armies, but never to get within a practical distance of rending them apart. Now they are held together by stronger links than were visible and were gravely informed that he was around somewhere. Search was futile and only when the women were leaving did they find that the superintendent of the coal operation was none other than Prince George. It was a good thing for the future head of the Empire and for the throne that he lived the life of sailor In his impressionable youth and had the natural love for the sea that made him devoted to his profession. The sea is a great leveller and a good sailor cannot but have tho qualities of real manhood. Britain's sailor King was never so well known as he is today and his phrase, "We democrats must stick together," will he among the last products of the war to drop into oblivion. ONE HUN GENERAL WHO NEVER FAILS. There is one general that Ludendorf and Hindenburg always call to their aid when they suffer defeat or the al lieB cause their plans to crumble into failure. He's a doughty general and has often appeared before the Austrian people as well as the German to explain how defeats occurred and that they were not really defeats at all, but German victories. He worked hard just after the Piave disaster to the Austrians. Tlie Austrians at home learned through the efforts of this famous Hun warrior, chief of staff to Ludendorf and Hindenburg, that when the Italians struck back at the Austrlans and hurled them Into the Piave the Teuton high command had always intended to carry out just that maneuver. It was part of the "plans of the high command." . Similarly with the failure of the Hun offensive in the west this spring and tlie tremendous success of the allied counterstrokc. This general, never ot a loss when fighting for Der Fader- land, was there to turn defeat Into victory. His name is General Alibi. THE SAILOR KING. Many American papers have editorially commented on the visit of King George to Rear Admiral Rodman's flagship. Thc admiral, it appears, is a Blue Grass Kentu'cklan and is credited with little reverence for "the divinity that doth hedge a king," if, indeed, he ever heard of that attributed quality. However, he found In the hereditary head of the British peoples quite as good a democrat and a sailor as ever camo out of Old Kentucky. What particularly tickles the American palate is the story, quite likely to be true, that while inspecting the stokehold and noting the readiness for instant sailing, the admiral suggested that the King might take a hand ln stoking the furnaces. If he thought King George would stand on his dignity he was soon disabused, for his royal majesty at once picked up a shovel and proceeded to feed the fires In 'expert stoker-like fashion," re- marking at the same time, 'This is not the first time I have done this." When the admiral commented, "You are better fireman than I am," the King rather turned the tables when he replied, "You must remember that my naval training was pretty thorough." The story is told that when the 1 present King was a rollicking midshipman with his captain under strict orders that he was to be treated no wise differently from his comrades, his ship started to coal ln the harbor of -Hall- fax. Some women of that city visited the ship during the progress of the operation, which was. in charge of a youth clad in overalls that once had been white but were then, with himself, covered with grime and dust. J-'rom him they inquired if the prince The rice riots in Japan call attention once more to that vital fact that civilian population as well as an army "marches on its stomach." The British tank steamer which has sunk a Hun submarine believes in lining up to a name which has been made glorious on thc fields of Flanders. A wonderful Improvement is reported in the condition of the Saskatchewan crops. Once again the worst feature of the "crop failure" proves to be the preliminary reports. , Russian towns have been handed over to the Huns by the Lcnine clique. That's not new. Lenine handed the whole of Russia to Germany by the Brest-Lltovsk treaty. The Bolshevlki is out in the open now as an ally of Germany. It Is cooperating with German armies. It has never done anything but play the Hun game, with the Russian people as the football. Berlin continues to run true to form. It refers to the victories in which the French made several advances and captured 2200 prisoners as "thrusts' which "failed." If tho allies keep on "failing" 'in this way they will soon reach Berlin. TOLD IN RYHME THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SIGNALLING OFFICER SONG OF AIRMEN. Sunk in the vastness overhead, Risen to where dim whispers stir, Of lonely paths that God might tread, And Christ their wanderer. O, may wo.-soar to such a height, Turn earthward thence our eyes nnd view With new intensity of sight The silent souls of you; And sec you fight beneath war's gloom Toward a new nobility-— Fight till the world be one vast tomb Of risen life to be; And see the battle flare anew, And know this thing a certainty; No one may slay your dead but you— By lack of memory; And know that always at the end. Though winged death we deem so fair- Death face to face like a dear friend- We prophets of the air. We shall come to you from above, O, brothers of a common trust— We shall share with you in new love Your victory of dust, O, might we then bring to the sod Dim whispers that are yet astir, Of lonely paths that God has trod And Christ their wanderer. —Charles R. Murphy, COLD STORAGE. ^_- . $ Lane Recorder—The Morrell sisters played a duet and Charles Harbery played several selections on the gram ophone. The remainder of the evening was very pleasant. An Irish peasant had taken his wife for the day to Dublin. In one of the shop windows tho wife saw some rubber gloves for sale. "Pat," she said, "what would be thc use of them things, at all, at all?" "Whist, ye blockhead!" replied her husband. "Don't let anyone hear ye ask that. Don't ye know them Is for washing your hands without wettin' the skin." I Betty—I've given up candy during the war. Jack—Too bad. I've just bought you a box. Betty—In that case I'll give up watermelon instead, "A good many ladies were disappointed this afternoon." "How was that?" "The guest was spoken of as a bridge expert and he turned out to be nothing but a famosu engineer." "You say you've done picket duty, Sam?" "Yassah. I work in de kunnel's kitchen, an' ebcry time de kunnel wants chicken I has ter pick it." "I believe that everybody ought to say exactly what he thinks In his own way." "And yet," replied the slow- speaklng man, "that plan didn't seem to help much at the Tower of Babel." (By Lieut. A. A. Milne.) A battalion signalling officer has both the advantage and disadvantage of being thc only officer in the battalion who knows anything about signalling. In his mental isolation he is unique; for though the padre may be the only officer who knows anything about theology, and the medical officer the only authority on. broken legs, these two are extra-regimental officers, and noncombatants as well. The other specialist officers—bombing officers, Lewis gun officers and the like —arc merely specialists ln a field of general knowledge. The advantage of thc signalling of' ficers position is that ho has a free hand. As long as things go well, no> body can dispute him. Colonels and adjutants doubtless have authority over him, but they have little technical knowledge of his craft. The diS' advantage of his position is that, If things go wrong, there is nobody but him to blame. Sometimes of course, he will deserve blame; but even if he does not, it will be useless for him to try to explain, for there will be nobody to understand. The only thing which will be understood is that thc signal ling officer is responsible for commu nication and communication has brok en down. Little Routine. If, then you happen to like as much freedom from routine as you can get; and if you are not afraid of responsibility, signalling may safely be recommended lo you as much the most interesting work open to an infantry officer. But perhaps you would like first to know jtf little more about the signalling officers work. What does he do in the trenches? What does he have to worry about? What he has to do Is to maintain communication. A battalion headquarters has to be In communication with the four companies ln front of It, the battalions on its right and left, brigade headquarters behind it, and the supporting artillery. The signalling officer sees that it is so. For although, officially, the brigade signalling officer is responsible for the line to brigade headquarters, and although the artillery may be looking after the artillery line and keeping their own signallers at battalion headquarters for that purpose, yet one realizes very soon that it is hardly worth explaining these things to a colonel in the heat of battle, who may suddenly be deprived of the material support of tho artillery and the moral support of the brigadier. His very natural feeling is that you are the signalling officer and now look what has happened—though he may not say it so politely. It should be obvious, then, what the signalling officer has to worry about How can be make the lines more safe? How can he be sure that, whatever happens, there will be somo form of communication open to him? No Absolute Security. No line will ever be qulto safe. In thc calmest sector an afternoon's ac tivity by a single trench mortar will make a mess of any cable. If this hap pens on many afternoon, a wise sig nailing officer will consider if a quiet route cannot be found for any particular line. The Hun is a man of habit; he has a way of hammering at a certain trench at a certain time. Very well, then, let us leavo that trench alone and see if we can join up in some other way to the particualr company we want. Let us have a look at the map. The signalling officer will have devoted much love and labor to his map, Every cable in the battalion's sector is shown on it. One sees at a glance which trenches the lines run along; whether they are burled lines, air lines or trencli lines; where the ".test boxes" for the buried lines are placed, how each line is labeled. Our problem now is to find a new route from headquarters, to B company without going through Bully alley, and with a minimum expenditure of cable. It is rather like a game. We can use C L 5 (the present line) up to tlie corner of Flapper lane, then take a line down Richard trench to C L 8, "tee in" to the D company line for a hundred yards and then ... Or what about doing it this way? It is like a margarine puzzle, but much more interesting. Plenty to Do. In one way or another the signalling officer will satisfy himself that his lines are as safe as possible, but what will worry him more Is whether, if a break occurs, the line will be mended as quickly as possible. Has he chosen the right men as linesmen? Has he made things as easy for them as he can? Is there anyway in which the routine can be made more dependable, more automatic? Are tho various efficiency tests he has instituted the most satisfact ory? Will they show up the untrustworthy stations or any particular man at any particular station who cannot be trusted? Can he make his signallers more comfortable as men, and therefore, better signallers.? These are some of the questions which he will ask himself every day. When he c*an answer them to his own satisfaction, then, if he is a wise man, he will cease to worry. But his responsibility will lie as great as ever. If anything -goes wrong, whether by "an act of God or of the king's enemies," or by -the. sudden aberration of one of his own men, then he stands out as tho man to be*blamed. He Is a fool if lie lets that thought keep him awake at nights, for it is all part of the job, but he is also a fooi if he does not realize that the safety of each man in the battalion may at some time depend upon the care which he has given to the job, und worse than a fool if he has not put into it the very best care of which he is capable.

Thought She Would Lose Her Little Girl With • Thousands of infants die annually who could bo saved by the timely use of Dr. Fowler's Extract ot Wild Straw berry. There can ho no doubt about it. During (he seventy-two years that this wonderful remedy has been on the market, it has been proved conclusively that it is the best for diarrhoea dysentery, colic, cramps, cholera infantum and all looseness of the bowels, especially when the children are teething . Many of the imitations of "Dr. Fowler's" being offered to the public today are positively dangerous, ns they often check the diarrhoea too suddenly, cause inflammation and .leave the bowels' in a constipated condition. "Dr. Fowler's" will not do this, but will impart a healthy tone to the mucous surface and stop the diarrhoea in an easy and natural way. Mrs. M. Tyler, Orland, Ont., writu3: "I have used your wonderful medicine for nine years with great satisfaction. My little girl was only five moiths old and she was so sick with diarrhoea 1 thought she would die. I was advised by a friend to try Dr. Fc.vlei's Extract of Wild Strawberry and it gave her quick relief. I have used it ever since for the whole of my family, six In all and can praise It more til in anything 1 ever used" ■ The genuine is put up by the T.

Wis m FORGING AHEAD (Continued';from Page One.) • waves of grey clad troops converging on^ the village both from Fresnoy and Goyencourt prepared to reap ah easy victory. .They came in full marching equipment, .with their blankets, evidently expecting to break through. Not less than four enemy battalions came into line against our forces. They came confidently on to one of the most desperate .slaughters of the %yar, for our magnificent artillery, assisted by French lotteries on our right, laid down an intense barrage in thc centre of their massed advance and right across its ■ entire length. The front waves were caught between tho road and the village and had either to fight their way through or surrender. They fought with .desperate courage. Centre Fell Back Our centre fell back a little to the border of the village, where the enemy artillery could no longer play, while both our flanks poured a murderous machine gun and rifle fire into the penned enemy mass. He was doomed, lti was the tactics of Hannibal over again, with ; the centre thrown back, no.t on tho. river, but on the village, and our closing flanks, nut elephants and sling'MS, but riflemen and machine gunners. Some 250 surrendered, tlie rest died. One officer conservatively estimates the dead at 1000, others as high as 1700. These estimates are fully borne out by the rampart of high masses of enemy dead, still unburied on Saturday, for then our line was only advanced 500 yards beyond and toward the stronghold of Fresnoy, at that time being subjected to an,dn- tense bombardment, ■ i. : ty , ; A private-who holds the Military Medal and bar related his experiences: "The' best fun 1 ever saw," he said.

I used up two of our rifles and one Bpche, fired off all my ammunition, two bandoliers more and then had lo borrow from tlie men who camo up to our support. My rifle got so hot that I had to work the bolt with my foot." The longest range was 200 yards, most of it 75 to 100 yards and every shot a bull. One of our Lewis guns fired off 31 pans. 1 had never seen so many dead in my life. It was like spraying a potato patch. As to our officers, they were tiie finest men in the world and tlie colonel is a great general, too, or our number would have been up. "Going In, I got Mob ind a sniper who had just hit one of our officers," said this private. "I got him with my bayonet. One of our men only was taken prisoner. Two- chums were wounded. They wero at a listening post, 400 yards in advance of ourOine, as the Boche came on. One eittflfl not move.

(By Daily News Leased Wire.) CALQARY,. Alta.,' Aug. 19.—Owiiig to the partial crop failure on the prairies tlie 'Mountain Lumber Manufacturers' association, iii their conference at tlie Palliser hotel on Monday afternoon decided they must plan to increase their business in^eastern Canada and the eastern states. They are planning to send a special representative east for this purpose but the plans are not yet complete. One difficulty which confronts them in competing with eastern firms is thej-'ini- crcasod freight rates; These rates add1 from $1 to $1.50 on prairie prices and the increase in the east is proportionate. There has been an increase of from 12 cents to 13 cents In the freight per 100 pounds, while the increase in the price of lumber in the east lias only been -3 cents. This would mean an increase in the cost of eastern do- livery of from $2.50 to $4 per 1000 feet of lumber. The labor situation is also becoming acute. The logging lids been stopped and tlie mills are employed in sawing up the cut. Very inferior labor, 'mostly foreign, is being paid $4 a day, while the board rates remain at the old rate of ?1 a day. The convention was well attended. In addition, a number of representatives of the northern spruce mills and some coast lumbermen who happened lo be in the city on other business were present. C N. R.

Only some two days' march north of the battle arena in Flanders stands a formidable army, intact, fresh and vigorous, that has not yet fired a shot in the great war. It is the army of the Netherlands. The army is ever growing. The work of training began feverishly bapk in August, 1914, and it ha^been carried on without a break ever since in all parts of the country. A special law was passed-.some two years since greatly widening the circle of those liable to service, with the result that all the men under arms on August 1, 1914, now have been relieved by newly'trained men and sent home, though thcy can be recalled to the colors immediately should occasion arise. That the country's military leaders have no intention to rest on their oars after thc achievement is shown by a bill that has just reached parliament providing for a re-examination of all men of the Landstrum born since 1885 who had been rejected for one reason or another. This measure Is expected to yield a very substantia,! amount of fresh human material. How largo a mass of trained men Holland could now place in the field is easily discernible. There Is first the army that was mobilized in the days of the war's outbreak probably not far short of a quarter of a million men and now ail at home on indefinite leave. Then there is a new army now under arms of a like size. Moreover there is a very considerable body of men who, prior to 1914 had -finished their period of 15 years in militia, at Landwehr and Landstrum, but who are subject to call should occasion arltfe. This should bring the number ot trained men available to half a mils lion men and possibly over that number, constituting a far more formidable and probably better trained force than the Netherlands has ever before possessed ln her history. In equipment, too, the-Netherlands army has made great strides during' the past three' years. The ammunition industry lhas been reorganized arid enormously extended. The artillery ari&V in which the country was notoriously weak, has been reinforced in "so far as .naterial was obtainable. Some' gumV are on order. The delivery of antiaircraft guns is also in course of execution. Serious efforts are being exerted to imprdve Holland's aerial service. A' (reorganization is -contemplated that Is estimated to cost between ?7,200,000 and $7,800,000. The new scheme provides for 15 airplane divisions Comprising 58 battle planes and 66 scouting planes. Despite Germany's own great need, the arrival of a dozen1 machines from that country was reported recently.! SOLDIER TO HIS MOTHER.

(9965) Last week's war news would make any person feel good, except Kalsei Bill, the Mad Emperor, thc Big Swank Pot, the Royal Sausage Eater and his nation of cut-throats. It was reported in Elko this week that a company of the gallant 54th from the Crow's Nest Pass had captured the missing link, known In Germany as the crown prince. If the news Is true brief life win be his portion and his tombstone will read as follows: Here lies a' royal nut, He got his final slam. You Germans may be sorry—but Wc allies don't care a—bit —Jim Thlstlebeak. C. F. Jackson and A. L. Freebalrn, two of Pincher Creeke's popular merchants, visited Elko this week and left for the Windermere valley. Jim Thlstlebeak says titat you can't always Judge a woman's character by her sealskin. Bill Gorrle, boss range rider for the Clydebank stock ranch, Roosville val ley, was In Elko this week with a smile the width of a pack saddle. Fred Roo, Jr., writing to his mother from overseas, says In one part of his letter: Your troubles, mother, pack and grin, And tell thc folks we're out to win, And when we are upon the spree, Oh, how sad these Huns will be. Fishing was never better In the streams surrounding the old historic burg of Elko than at present. Jim Thlstlebeak says that when tho fish refuse to take flics just sprinkle a little salt on the water and when the fish como up to sneeze lasso them or use the dip net. Jim Thlstlebeak says that It sure pays to advertise. Even tbe bread he cast upon the waters a few days ago returned before it had really time to get soaked through. Mrs. Ray 0. Hirst, Dreghorn villa, Riverside Park, Is' visiting friends in Cranbrook, Wycllffo and the Windermere valley tills week. John E. Brooks of tho United States customs department, Gateway, Mont., was in Elko this weok visiting with Fred Roo. If the weather remains as It is there will be no change. We are getting now what wc should 'have had two months ago, and Ibis wet weather Is making it bad for the farmers putting up feed. But Jim Thlstlebeak says water is groat stuff for bathing in. He was in one of thc hospitals along thc Crow's Nest Pass and was just getting over a iong seize of typhoid fever and was only allowed to eat a mere spoonful of tapioca, and he more than pleaded with the nurse for moro food, but she refused. So he pleaded with her and said he would like to read a little and would she mind bringing him a postage stamp. They can boost Banff, Field, Creator, I'lmerald Lake and Lake Louise all they care, but they arc,not the only picturesque spots in British Columbia. We have somo awful big chunks of scenery around Elko, If yoii ask Fred Roo, ,;■ Don't be a pessimist. It shows you have mental indigestion. The list of vlBlting travelers, salesmen, train jumpers and road bogs will appear next week. Decorate your centre table with a copy. YANKEE'S PISTOL HALTS GERMANS Gunner Cited for War Cro3s Tells of Ten to One Battle NEW YORK.—Ono of thoae courageous examples of devotion to duty is told by Pte. Frank Pagan of 91 Monroe street, Long Island City, in a recent letter to his mother. "I have been recommended for a l-'rench Croix do Guerre and Distinguished Medal for Valor,'- lhe youth writes. I am a gunner un an automatic rifle, and had four guns brcali in two attacks a little while ago, and one of my loaders shot down. "X faced them (the Germans) with my Colt pistol until I found a rifle nnd two bandoliers and a bayonet and I held on to it until I found another automatic rifle. Kill, Then Cry "Kamerad" "What made us all bloodthirsty was to see the German machine gunners lie there and mow down our men, fire every cartridge and hand grenade at us, but when they were out of supplies came up and said 'Kamerad' with a pitiful voice. But it did not soften our hearts one bit. We just emptied our rifles into them. "We captured 250 machine guns and a dog running back to the reserves .with a note written in 'Bring reinforcements at once.' This hound now belongs to us." Fight Germans, Ten to One Of his vision of the "great offensive" Pte. lragan says: "The Huns were coming at the rate ot five and ten miles a day, and It was up to us to break their grent offensive. We had been in the .trenches only half a day when we saw them coming over the hills. The French dropped back, but we. held our own and held them off until the next morning, and made a raid on them, "We killed off their men as they came out, but the Huns lost the most, as they had the majority of ten to one against us. In the first attack we took over 000 prisoners, counting wounded. Snipers were picking off our men, but it was up to us to give it to them once more. We were pretty well weakened out, but what la that to fighting men?" usiness and Professional Directory ACCOUNTANT'S. W. H. FALDING, 0 Aooountant, Bank ot Montreal Chambers, Rossland, B.C, J. H.

With bright sunshine and the promise of ideal weather for the rest of the week tho Chautauqua program held yesterday afternoon in the big brown tent in the recreation-grounds ushered In a week of entertainment for Nelson and district residents. Over 600 persons, said to be one of the largest crowds seen at an entertainment of a similar nature in recent years In the city, wore in attendance at the afternoon program and about 700 were at the evening lecture. Miss Webber entertained the children at the Junior Chautauqua in the forenoon and in the afternoon the .Warwick quartet thrilled the audi- lence. In the evening the quartet rendered a prelude to Capt. Wood Brlggs' lecture and many remarks of praise were heard in the large crowd leaving the tent after the performances. Stevenson Introduces Members G. F. Stevenson, as chairman of the committee, welcomed the Chautauqua members to the city. Chautauqua is national, Mr. Stevenson said, and has been endorsed by the United States government and the government of Canada. The keynote of the program this year was patriotic service.' He "thanked the local committee members'for their work in arranging the details and sale of tickets, and after asking the audience for their best attention and appreciation of the program and work of the entertainers Mr. Stevenson introduced Miss Alda Henry, superintendent of Chautauqua, Miss Henry, In her opening remarks, declared that the Chautauqua members wero delighted with the city and were already thoroughly enjoying their week's stay here. Rev. D. T. McClintock then led in the invocation, after which Miss Henry introduced the Warwick Male Quartet, which consists of four young performers. The program of songs, solos, instrumental selections and readings met with approval and tho work of the artists drew for them long and hearty applause. The program opened with a quartet, entitled "On the Sea," and in response to hearty encores the singers gave a Welsh lullaby by Frotheroe. R. L. Schafer's delightful tenor volco won favor for him. He introduced the other members of the quartet and explained why none of them were fighting. Seven men of Chautauqua had already joined the army and navy, he said, and of those left, two were of draft age, one of whom is now awaiting his call and the other has been exempted on account of physical disability. The second Item wns an instrumental trio by three of the quartet, who gave a descriptive rendition of the Fifth Hungarian Dance, by Brahms. "Apple Blossoms" was played as a repeat number. Two readings by Barney Thompson furnished plenty of mirth and wero well received. Throughout tlio entire performance Mr. Schal'er was tho favorite and his vocal solos, "The Trumpeter" and "Mother of Mine" brought forth repeated rounds of applause. A quartet called "Thg Drum," announced as being sung for tho boys, not only pleased them but the girls and grown-ups as well. The "Missouri National Anthem" was a particularly lively instrumental and vocal number, and before it was over it had everybody's feet a tapping. "Where Do Wo Go from Here" was a favorite. A sacred selection, "Lead Kindly Light," by the quartet, closed a concert which is said to have been one of the most enjoyable heard in the city. In the evening the Warwick quartet entertained about 700 persons for three quarters of an hour before Capt. Wood Briggs of the Texas National Guard was introduced. The applause of those in thc large audience was evidence of their appreciation of the program given by the quartet. A minuet by Pa^erewski was played by three members of the quartet and that a deep impression was made on the audience could be gathored by the silence of those assembled in the spa cious tent. Other items in the pro gram received equal applause. Capt. Briggs Speaks. At 9 o'clock Capt. Briggs was in- troduced and his soldierly appearance immediately gave him the sympathy of the audience. His address, entitled "Playing the Game," stirred the air dlence with Its message pronouncing the true principles of the intention of the American nation to stand by Canada and the allies in the struggle for the conquest of German autocracy and the maintenance of democracy. "The game of life," 'sold Capt. Briggs, "as the game of war, needs more than courage. It needs the qualities which command success, strength of body, of mind and of moral principle." In his enunciation of the principles of moral conduct he became eloquent and declared that only the nation which had individuals of great moral principle and strong moral character could hope to survive, especially in such a struggle as was now being waged between the allies and the central powers. He said that the daily grind of life as tho daily grind of war was proving to be a blessing for the manner in which it disciplined the nation and strengthened their moral fibre. Women's Part. Capt. Brlggs spoke at length on the part which women played in the routine of a nation and he praised the accomplishment of women through their organizations both on this continent and on the other side of the Atlantic. He emphatically declared 'his belief that every woman should learn a trade or profession In order that she might bo as independent as a man. The speaker was eloquent in his tribute to thc heroes of the rank and file and spoke of the soldiers who had given their lives on the battlefields as galiant men who, unhonored and unsung, had fought face to faco with death that freedom might live. He next dwelt at length on Canada's important part in thc struggle for freedom from German militarism. He said ho was proud to belong to a country which had the distinction of becoming an ally to Canada, a country which had done nobly, in the war. He was proud that his own country had realized what tho .great war meant and had taken her stand with the other brave nations. Children at Festival. Ahout 70 children assembled in thc Chautauqua tent in tho morning to attend the Mother Goose festival under the direction of Miss Webber, who has stated that talent shown by the young folks of Nelson promises something unusual when the Mother Goose pageant is presented on Saturday. This morning the junior Chautauqua will start at 10 o'clock and Miss Web' ber said her hobby was playing base' ball with tho boys.
