The Week il British Columbia Newspaper and Review. fol. XII, No. 13-Twelfth Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, May 23, 1914 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year Naval Defence "No policy will be satisfactory to the people of British Columbia which does not include a substantial and prompt contribution and the ESTABLISHMENT OF A FLEET UNIT ON THE PACIFIC COAST." The Royal Canadian Naval Reserve I HE good news tlmt tho Dominion Government hud announced ils policy of recognition for the Roynl Canadian Naval Volunteers wus published in The Colonist on Thursday last. lere cniinol; be u limn or womnn in Victoria who docs not share the litifiention of the volunteers themselves thut their long continued Drts have heen successful. Surely the announcement now made wns 111 worth wailing for, and it conies in roynl measure, pressed down Id running over. Not only is it n recognition of the corps which is proud possessor of the title No. 1 Company of tl R. C. X. V., Ii it conveys the gratifying information that this is but n unit in a ee which is to be established throughout the nonunion with bases the Atlantic, the Pacific nnd the Great Lukes and with financial livisiun for the establishment of at least a dozen companies of one lidreil men ouch during the first year. Thus will the subject of training bo brought in the most practical form before the eyes lhe Canadian people in every part of the Dominion. Of its educii- | effect much might be said and no doubt much is hoped for by 1 Govcrnemnt. Of its practical effect there can bc no doubt, for j experience of Victoria goes to show that with the granting of I'ornmont recognition and the provision of suitable funds, the popu- Ity of the movement will bo so great that the difficulty will bo not re but to exclude recruits. Already n second company has been jned at Comox and others will undoubtedly be heard of on the 1st in the near future. The Week has no desire to strain the lirenco, but whatever else it may he taken to indicate, there is no lbt that, the action of the Government foreshadows the ultimate Iblishment of a naval force on thc Pacific Coast. The Week pses to regard the announced policy as the first step in that direc- und is convinced that tho flag that has been flying at the head jtbis column for several years past will, before many years, bc lited over a fleet on the Pacific Coast for Imperial naval defence. Iioro detailed reference to tliis subject will he found in the address lhe President of the R. C. N. V. on tho back page of this issue. When East Meets West R. McKny, Principal of the Presbyterian College, Vancouver, and one of the most enlightened and effective speakers in Canada, delivered an admirable address before J Women's Canadian Club on Monday last, entitled "When East fcts West." Up to a certain point the learned doctor's address le entire satisfaction to all who heard him. With logic, with leney and with force he drove home the arguments which clearly lionstrutc that Asiatic exclusion is a desirable policy for the Jtish Columbian. Ho demonstrated this on economic and political lunds, hul he fell down badly when he attempted to grapple with racial aspects of the case. This, the concluding portion of his Jlrcss, was in that apologetic vein which is not altogether unusual (gentlemen of the cloth when they come to deal with public ques- |is. The doctor obviously fell that he wns "between the devil and deep sea." As a man, a citizen and a thinker, he assumed the lition of an cxclusionist and convinced all his hearers that he lid upon firm ground. But as a religionist, as the protagonist of Isionary effort, as a preacher of Iho gospel of universal equality 1 as a pleader for the equal treatment of all men as brothers, with apotheosis of achieving the dream of the poet "Tho Brotherhood Man and the Federation of the World," he became painfully Jilved in his arguments and realized that it was not an easy mat- Jto reconcile the policy with tlie preaching. Dr. McKay would le Orientals excluded, not because of any racial inferiority or linso of the danger to humanity of racial admixture, but solely leconomic and political grounds. Tho position is an impossible Mr. Justice Murphy got much nearer the truth when he sfrip- I the subject of all party and religious shibboleths and conrageous- |lomnndcil that the Oriental should he excluded because to admit would be to destroy the white race. Hc regarded the economic political aspects of the question, big as they mny loom in our i at times, as negligible quantities when compared with the really II consideration of the perpetuation of the white race. It is to bo led that before Dr. McKay again addresses thc public on this im portant question he will reconsider his attitude towards its .racial aspect und round up nn otherwise impregnable argument with un appeal to the rock of truth. You cannot offer the Oriental u brotherly handshake and at the same lime slam the door in his face. The Pity or It WHY' will reformers, especially religious reformers, persist in breaking the Ninth Commandment, and why cannot they state a case without misrepresentation or exaggeration '. In Tuesday's Times is a jeremiad signed by the Chairman und three members of the Social Service Commission, These gentlemen deplore conditions whieh exist in Victoria; they attack the Attorney-General because the Lord's Day Act is not enforced in Victoria against all persons who indulge in Sunday trading; they suggest discrimination in favour of Chinamen who import und sell large quantities of intoxicants without a license, and thej- declare that if the present policy of the Attorney-General is continued "the laws will go to the four winds of heaven and the wide-open town will flourish as in the worst sections of the West. Public safety will be imperilled, business security will be gone, and the guarantees of personal liberty will be swallowed up in universal license." This peroration is followed by a declaration that this is a testing time and that forces are at work wrecking the best interests of our city. Tho Social Service Commission incurs a heavy moral responsibility by publishing such an unjust and misleading manifesto. Moreover, they place themselves at variance wilh other religious bodies which also claim to have received enlightenment. Tt is not mnny days since the Methodist Conference held in Kamloops praised the Attorney-General for his fearless administration of the law, and the Rev. G. H. Heustis, secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, specially complimented Mr. Bowser "for his splendid aid in preserving Iho Lord's Day as a day of rest to the people." When doctors disagree, wdio shall decide? The opinion nf most people who live in Victoria is that it is the besl governed and, using the word not in an invidious sense, one of the most respectable cities in Canada, yet from time to time one or other of these self- I'oiislitiited reform associations rushes into print to give u black eye In the community, lo denounce the city which they have failed to convince und invariably to bear false witness against their neighbour. No wonder that; the ilayor tool; exception to some of the statements in the manifesto I The view of The Week is that in receiving and filing the communication the Council showed more consideration to ils signatories than they deserved. The waste-paper basket should have been its destination. Public Recreation Grounds WIDE-SI'RE AD interest has been shown in a subject which has heen dealt in the lust lust two issues of The Week, that of public recreation grounds. It would be u pity if the subject did not receive some attention ot the hands of the Victoria City Council at the present time, not with the idea of spending any money his year, but to pave the way for action iu the near future. The proposition is so simple and the objects so easily attained that tlie minimum of trouble would enable a small sub-committee to present a report covering the whole question. The various stages of the argument may be thus stated. The city is growing; Beacon Hill Park is becoming too small to accommodate the regular park habitues and to "How space for games such as cricket and football; these aro already encroaching and interfering' with the public comfort; friction is being engendered in consequence of the crowding; there is, ns the venerable Dr. Hclmcken has long contended, a legal doubt as to the right of tho Council to sot apart spaces for the use of particular clubs; the city owns extensive grounds at the "Willows," large enough to accommodate all these games; those grounds arc only being utilized to ii very limited extent; at an inconsiderable expenditure they could ho made available for cricket, football, lacrosse, baseball and tennis and still leavo room for the popular game of polo. Will the .Mayor consider it worth his while to appoint a small sub-committee to investigate and report on this matter? Possibly the question may not appear urgent today, but in this, as in other matters, "experientia doeet" and perhaps lhe following extract from "La I'alric," the well known .Montreal newspaper on the "Cry of ihe Children" may help to focus public attention upon a matter which is nol unimportant because it may not appear lo be urgent:— "Montreal is a terrible town for the children. A half century of egotistical governments, sacrificing everything fur the advancement of commence und renl estnte speculation, have mnde »f I lie metropolis of Cnnnda n plnce where the children have nowhere In piny hut the streets. When we hnve squares nnd playgrounds in every ward we will nol; kill so many children in the streets of Montreal." H Government Guarantee IT is a matter of common knowledge that at llie present time ihere are lens of thousands of men in Canada out of employment. All who have studied the question realize lluit wc are in for a period of commercial quietness, to say the least of il and ihal these unemployed will find the struggle fur existence none Inn easy during lhe next few years. There is also common agreement in lhe fact thai the only room in Canada today for more settlers is on the land, and it is tn he hoped that trade depression will result in forcing thousands of people lo turn from precarious employment in Ihe cities lo land cultivation. Under these circumstances it is strange In lind thai in the London papers advertisements are slill being inserted inviting men and women lo come to Canada with a Government guarantee ihat thev sliall have farm and domestic work. There is no room today for hired help nn the farm, or at any rate, very litlle; the domestic iiiarkel is glutted. Thc best proof of Ibis locally is that there are scores of Chinamen ready to be hired today for domestic service at $10 a month, the same class of men wdio two years ago were getting from $30 tn $40. The demand for female domestics has also been filled aud any advertisement asking for this class of help secures well- nigh a score of applicants. The particular advertisement referred to is apparently one inserted by Commissioner Lambe. of the Salvation Army, and also hy Cook's Emigration Company. The latter specifically states "Government guarantees farm and domestic work; previous experience not necessary; assisted passages." Hitherto the Salvation Army has conducted its emigration on'satisfactory lines. It claims that no men and women have been brought ont until positions have becn secured for them. The advertisement, therefore, may be misleading to some extent. All the same, general conditions in Canada seem to suggest that so far as the Government, whether Dominion or Provincial, is concerned, its duty lies rather in endeavouring to provide work for the thousands of unemployed who throng our cities, than in encouraging the bringing in of more immigrants under the Government guarantee of work. 3 Distinguished Honour THE WEEK has on many occasions referred to thc very valuable services rendered by Jlr. P. R. Pomfret to the Royal Life Saving Society. He bus been most active and energetic in the splendid work of this organization and without disrespect to the other members of the local committee, it is not too much to say that he has kept the flag of the Society flying in Victoria. .Mr. Pomfret is a young man und undoubtedly one of the most modest men it is possible to meet. He never advertises himself and is rarely heard nf except in connection with tho doings of the Society which he represents. On such occasions ho emerges from his retirement, directs lhe proceedings and retires inlo the background. lie is nne nf those officers whose services are valuable and effective in proportion to (heir lack of ostentation. It is therefore all the more gratifying to know ihat the parent society has found him out, has recognized his foal merit and has ferrcd on him thc very distinguished honour of a life membership. The compliment was never belter deserved and some day. when swimming and natatorial sports have become more popular, when public swimming-baths are established and all our boys and girls have learned the great lesson that the Royal Life Saving Society leaches, the city will begin in realize its indebtedness tn Mr. Pomfret, The B.C. E.R. Service THIS week llie Ii. C. E. R. is to be congratulated on Iwo things. First nn having yielded to press criticism and popular clamour in restoring the "Willows" service iu ils entirety. To the extent to which this concession is due lo the advent of thc now general manager, he is entitled tn and is hereby tendered lhe thanks of The Week and of thousands of long-suffering citizens. That the local manager would have done the same long ago if he had had a free hand no one will doubt. There is still room for improvement in the matter of extra cars at rush times. No one objects to being a strap-hanger in tho winter; in fact a long course of training has so habituated Victorians to the custom that they would not be happy without it, but in llie dog days which are now upon us, il; is u little hard on "fleshy men of full habit." There arc men in Victoria whose excessive modesty and politeness has kept Ihem faithful to the strap and wdio have not had a seat in a car for years. Tliis should be tho day of their emancipation. Congratulations are also duo in the company for having yielded on their somewhat autocratic policy of high rates for Saanich. When these rates were inslitiiloil, The Week was the first to point ont that Ihey were unreasonable, indefensible and untenable. Less Ihan a year's experience bus proved the justice of this contention and a. reduction in rates has been established, for which, many thanks. Thc end is nnt, yel. When the rates, instead nf being reduced one-sixth, are enl in half, they will approximate In a reasonable figure. No doubt the new general manager will watch Ibis und within a few months come to lhe same conclusion as The Week. Baseball and Publicity IX an elaborate editorial published mi Tuesday last The Times sought tn demonstrate lbe great utility nf baseball in lhe matter nf publicity and urged ils continuance mi ihe ground thai lhc playing of lhe game would ensure a reference In Victoria in hundreds of American newspapers daily and that ihe publicity thus afforded would he of materia] benefit to our city, There mav be a e truth in Ihis, bnl The Week has yol in be convinced of it. If the city of Victoria has been quoted in hundreds of American papers for years pasl every time a baseball game is played here, how comes it that ns important an institution as the American Express ConVpany in circulating a pamphlet by the million whieh slates on ils fronl page that their local agent is the "Royal I lank nf Canada.

The writer proceeds to argue as il: woman as a sex has retrogressed into barbaric customs of dress which will rapidly reduce her to a state of deformity. That such a view is bigoted and narrow-minded in the extreme cannot be denied when we see the finely built young women of today engaged in every sport or pastime which calls for a strong, healthy body. There are always a number of women who make it part of their "modus operandi" in' life to dress in extreme and ridiculous fashions. These women are mon- daines and demi-mondaines, but one tiling is certain, onr of their chief occupations is attracting men, and as a rule men are not averse to being seen with a fashionable woman who attracts attention lo both of them. Over-anxious people should be glad to know that the extreme hobble skirt is no longer correct; the flare skirt is already being re-introduced. Everybody knows that small waists disappeared long ago, and that a certain article of woman's apparel is now made to follow "la ligne normal." Many of the answers to the obnoxious article against present fashions are so good that I shall quole some of them in part. "Femina" says: "I deny that the present fashions place nny restraints upon women. On the contrary, women's clothes hnve never been so healthy and comfortable as they are now. The skirt of the period does not havejthe crippling effect which you describe, lt is loose, light in weight, and comfortable to walk in— , the reverse of the old-fashioned skirt, consisting of perhaps a dozen yards of heavy material, hung from the waist, which was enormously tightened, and gathering up disease hy trailing in the dust. ... In reply to the statement: that 'there is no claim which woman can make upon man comparable to that which man may urge upon women, that his children shall have a chance tn be born healthy,' the woman of this century replies that, on the contrary, she makes this very claim upon man— that her children may have a chance to be born healthy. And I think it would be very difficult to prove thai men's indulgences had not contributed more than woman's fashions to the disease of their children." "Another writer says: "One thing at least this women's movement is teaching women, and that is that, for thc sake of her child there shall be one single moral standard, mid Ihal the woman shall expect from the father of her child lhc same standard nf purity that lhc mini demands from Ihe woman. Who is to blame for the great mass nf unhealthy children in lhc world today? Docs the writer of this article forget our lock hospitals, with their numberless suffering children, and really contend that for the great muss nf unhealthy, blind mid deformed children women are to blame? And actually suggests men binding themselves together to promote legislation forbidding women to wear clothes which may endanger the efficiency of the race I" "Nemesis" writes: "Those who know und are honest ndmit that thc standard of morality among men is tho biggest factor in the degeneracy of the race. But every attempt to face this problem in a fearless spirit meets with the fiercest opposition nnd fhe race will go to its doom." I quote these writers, not only because they arc plain-speaking, but because they show thnt even the worm will turn. Women arc turning with a vengeance on the bigots who persist in writing silly things about and though some of the things they say will shock the prudes, who can deny thc truth of them? Ai Most women will have head with horror and indignation of the disclosures which have led to the arrest of six English surgeon vivisectionists nn llie charge nl' gross cruelty mid neglect to dugs after operations, ll was a woman who lirsl found oul whnl wns going on, as she observed through u window the sufferings of dugs whieh were left with no proper atention and fed on garbage1. One would suppose that men who seem to cure so little about pulling unnecessary suffering on helpless dumb animals, would be scarcely less considerate when attending human beings, Another question which women are taking up in England is the traffic in old horses, which are often inhumanely abused, and the killing of animals fur fund by obsolete and cruel methods. All these matters will probably require legislation before they can be successfully combatted, and no doubt women will he kept busy exerting "indirect influence" to get the necessary reforms. FINCH'S are showing snme splendid values in lovely dresses, traveller's samples at sterling prices. A fashionable toilette in mustard crepe wilh brown mnrabnul trimming; is particularly modish both in design and colouring, besides being exquisitely finished wilh a touch of mahogany tango velvet, .and embroidered buttons.

These gowns arc all marked at sterling prices. gown which is not only a dinner dress, but a frock which may bc used for particularly smart receptions, or at the theatre. One of the jiretticst seen ill .Finch's, in my opinion, wns carried out in mustard-leaf green charmeuse. The bodice and tunic were of black ninon over white satin, while the sleeves and edge of the tunic were banded with the green charmeuse. The combination was artistic, conl looking, mid chic. Among some dainty house gowns were several exquisite designs ill the silk crepes, many tango shades being in evidence. A little taffeta cuatee was also to be seen, reminding one that these coatees are positively the rage in New York. Now that the holidays are sn close upon us, I suppose there will be a mad scramble to get all thc outing clothes needed for the happy occasion. The splendid values offered in separate skirts in piques, bedford cords and ratines are attracting many purchasers. These pretty and useful skirts, with a fresh lawn or pique waist, over which may he worn a jersey or sports' coat, are ideal for outing wear. One may choose from the best selection in town nt Finch's. The sunny dnys are encouraging to invest in one of tlie charming bats offered at Finch's at bargain prices. It is interesting to know that Ibis firm is offering purchasers one quar- ter off the price of all bats above thc value of $12.50, and in consequence there are some remarkably attractive bargains. Some useful panamas may be had from $5.00 up, nnd nice little outing hats in ratine rep are only $3.50, coming in several colours. Many styles for children may be selected nt Finch's, including "Mother Hubbard" bonnets, sailors, and so on, On the ground floor one is attracted by several delightful offerings in new waisls, among them some lovely Swiss blouses at cost price. They are made in fine Swiss lawns nnd marquisettes, quite an exclusive purchase. At the neckwear counter there are many charming nnd useful styles that tire easily laundered, while nmong other accessories are the Van Rnalte complexion veils in shadow black and pink, blue and black, and flesh. Motor scarves in pretty (loriil designs are also worth inspection. 1 might also add that some good values in summer underwear arc offered, including a gond silk combination with tight or loose knee, and with or without sleeves. An unusually good stocking is a silk plated hose with linen heel and toe and garter top, in all colours, for seventy-five cents. The Onyx brand is very popular, though mnny people are trying "Holeproof," which may be bought iu boxes containing three pair, in which is included a guarantee, or Ihey may be bought separately at $1.00 a pair. The Swiss Embroidery Store have made a decided hit with the prices Ihey have put on their lovely embroidered blouse mid dress lengths, which have been marked down to exactly half price. A good linen dress and coulee should always be included in the summer wurilrupe, anil these pure linens do not shrink or get out of shape, consequently they are an economical purchase. Ai The Crown Millinery Parlours, 1)21 Fort Street, have an exceptional array of up-to-date millinery ribbons, among them a very good black whicli closely resembles the fashionable stove polish ribbon so much used. The iiuti'iniineil shapes nowadays can be obtained in such really good shapes that any woman need not hesitate lo attempt to do her own trimming, cspecinlly with lhc helpful suggestions Miss Livingstone is nlwnys .'.ciidyto oiler her patrons. The revival of tulle for debutantes, together with that of flowers, is welcome. It is impossible to conceive anything more dainty and suitable than a skirt adorned from waist to hem with flounces of fine plisse tulle, either superposed, or each volant set on witli a light floral spray, wee blush roses, for instance. This allied to a frail liltle corsage of tulle, completed by a train of silver tissue lined blush pink chiffon. There is no excuse for a woman to present anything but a graceful, elegant figure, the corset question being so well understood nowadays that when the right source is commandeered failure is unknown. And what is very much to the point, tl source is not far to seek, seeing th Spirella corsets are stocked by all tl leading Indies' outfitters in the Ian nnd n belter, more reliable mnke would be impossible to find.

Beautiful hands are a great attraction, so a few hints may be welcome. If your hands perspire freely, dab them softly with powder before putting on the gloves. The powder will uhsorb the perspiration, and so keep both the hands and the gloves in better condition. Never overheat your hands if they are sensitive to chapping, and if Ihey perspire. It is a good plan to wear silk or cotton fabric gloves if your hands perspire. Protect the hands every moment they nre out-of-doors if they are sensitive. When the hands have become chapped and reddened, the quickest way lo get them in shape again is to put snme agreeable sort of cream or ointment on them, or glycerine and rose- water, and then put them in loose gloves. If by any unfortunate chance the hands seem red or chopped in the afternoon and you have a dinner or other engagement in the evening, you can do wonders by gloving your hands for nn hour or so. Put the ointment or cream on thickly and have the gloves loose. Of course, if you nre in no hurry, leave the gloves on for several hours—all night, when you can conveniently do so. Aladame Russell, of the Beauty Shop, prepares an excellent olive oil cream, admirable for whitening the skin. One of the most wonderful remedies for superfluous hairs is a preparation known ns Rtismak. About three applications nre necessary, effecting a permanent cure. A great advantage of this preparation is that one enn use it one's self on the arm or any covered spot, if one is skeptical. Rusmnk enn be obtained from Aladame Cnrlyon, Belmont House.

Phone 1534. turday, May 23, 1914 THE WEEK Page Seven Owing partly to continued ill— alth I have been unable to carry t the suggestion of the general eting held in April, 1913, to estab- a brunch of the League in every ctornl district. I question if the sent moment is opportune for do- tliis, but am hoping that during approaching winter conditions be more favourable to our pro- , nud if so, it is my hope to ar- i series of meetings for this pose nnd if possible to have the of the League hoisted in every tonil district in the Province, wing to luck of funds it has levto been found impossible to out Ihe instructions of the mittee to have a number of iphlots printed nnd circulated ling with lhe Canadian Naval jtion, and touching matters gener- of special interest In lhe League calculated to promote its work, lthough n requisition lias been le on the various branches for eon- ilions towards the central fund liable this to be done, there has, one exception (Salt Spring), l no response, and ns the Feder- I League hns no other means of ring funds under its constitution, ggcst Hint this meeting shall take matter into consideration with a i io placing its finances on u bet- footing. l addition to lhe mass meeting in Roynl Victoria Theatre, already rred to, the most important its of the year were the reception irded to the Navy League on d H.M.S. "New Zealand," when tain Halsey wns presented with illuminated address on bebnlf of Lengue; the establishment of the ill Volunteers; and the reception Commander Evans of sub-Arctic in all which good works I nm jy to sny that members of my e were especially active, and particularly our Secretary, Mr. :emore, to whom the League owes iccinl debt of gratitude, icse public functions cover the licity work of the Lengue in ish Columbin, but during the yenr ive hnd the opportunity of inter- ing Mr. Borden at Ottawa and General Secretory nnd Commit- of the Navy League in London on work of the Lengue and on mnt- of special interest to us, includ ing the unfortunate interference with our mails. Whilst in London I wus, as your President, honoured by a special reception organized by the Committee of the Navy League. Since returning to Canada, in nddition to speaking nt a mass meeting in Victoria, I have been nble to carry a resolution in favour of our policy at a Conservative Convent ion in Cowichan on January 2nd; lat tho Provincial Conservative Convention in Victoria ou January 28rd, and nt n meeting of the B.C. Old Country Public Schoolboys on January 24th in Victorin. I linve also addressed numerous country meetings. This brief resume takes no account of the very considerable effort involved in editing the School Magazine for nearly two years, a work undertaken for the express purpose of inculcating British ideals, enunciating the policy of the Lengue end bringing Imperial questions under lhe notice of our schools throughout thc Province. I trust this work has not becn without some definite result and only regret that I hnve been unable to continue it. On the position of the League and its future work I hnve only to say that an effort must be mnde not only to establish new branches, but to stimulate existing branches to greater activity. Thc Federated League is but the executive of the whole, nnd unless the branches do their duty in the matter of local organization, in adding to the membership, in collecting subscriptions, in paying levies to the central committee and taking an interest in the work generally, the efforts of the executive must be paralyzed and rendered futile. The mere enunciation of a policy and the establishment of a platform are of little value unless followed by practical work, and it is only honest to admit that this hns not been conspicuous in nr" quarter during the past year.

The new publication, the first number of which was published on Saturday last, is a "Journal of Finance, Commerce, Insurance, Real Estate, Timber and Mining," and if the initial number may be taken as a criterion of what is to come, the Province is fortunate in the latest addition to its weekly publications.

That the rapidity with whieh the use of copper coins has spread suggests that the system might have heen introduced before. Ai That few people haxofistaed out, that the saving of oiie^ejA' day means $3.65 in the course ofayear. "SOTT© VOCE" ™at for once ''Hornet" has been caught napping. Last week he referred to a "Certificate of Title" instead of a "Mortgage." Ai Thnt it is impossible for a mere "Hornet" tn appreciate these line legal distinctions. Gossip From the Stalls LAST Monday a full house assembled in the Royal Victoria Tfleatw to see the "Honeymoon Ex- By the Hornet THAT the recognition of the Eoyal Canadian Naval Volunteers announced in Thursday's Colonist is the best news that lias reached llie Coast this week. That the officers, instructors nnd volunteers have literally "stood by their guns" with a tenacity worthy of British traditions. Thai lhe fruition of their hopes wns more complete than they could hnve anticipated, Ai That the establishment of a training ship like the "Rainbow" in Coast waters is a portent of a most gratifying character. That everyone will hope it may menu the retention of Captain Hose, R.N., on this station. That the distinguished honour conferred upon Mr. Pomfret by the Royal Life Saving Society is thoroughly well deserved. That no man in Canada has done more for the splendid movement with which he is so prominently identified. That to be elected a life member of such a society is no mean honour. Ai That the Fox-Smith family ean boast of two literary sisters. That Miss Cicely scored a success with her "City of Hope,"'reviewed in The Week a few months ago. Ai Thnt Miss Peggy has been fortunate enough to have a book accepted by the same publishers, entitled "Alberta and the Others." That Mr. Kingham has "rushed in where" — Buss Humber biu-nt his fingers. That the popular ex-alderman is said to have dropped nearly $10,000 in his baseball venture. That Mr. Kingham is prepared to drop twice as much, if lie can make it stick. That the ex-alderman now believes that the "game is not worth the candle"—even as an advertisement. That if cricket is to flourish in Victoria it must secure a fair representation in the daily press. Ai That the principal match last Saturday was not reported at all. That "Hornet" wonders what the ratepayers would say if the cricket authorities asked the City Council for a donation of $1,000. Ai That "Hornet" would like somebody to explain why such a gift would be justifiable in tbe case of baseball and not in that of any other game. That onco more the twentieth century Puritans have hail a set-back in the mailer of horse-racing. Ai That their attempt to "queer" the Dominion Fall Exhibition has resulted in the usual flnsco, 'Ai That it would be interesting to know whnt the Socinl Service Commission of Victoria thinks of the Methodist Conference ut Kamloops. 'Ai That Ihe former "banned" and the latter "blessed" tho Attorney-General fnr his administration of tho Lord's Dny Act. That tho Alcthodist Conference spiked the guns of the Social Service Commission by reading a letter from the Secretary of the L. D. A, endorsing tlie action of the Attorney- Cenernl. That lhe various camps of would-be "reformers" should get together and decide on n common "curse" on which thev could all agree. That "Hornet's" stings wore not altogether ineffective; the "Willows" service is to bo resumed in its entirety. Thnt the reduction of fares in the 'Snnnich dislrict wns first urged in these columns. That the advocates of the half day holiday have defeated their object by the unreasonableness of their campaign. That they will never secure it unless they employ more sensible leaders. That the wise man is content to advance step by step and does not expect to jump to the top of the ladder at a stride. That it is a pity that a most deserving movement should have been frustrated by bad management. Ai That the hot heads who thought they could rush "Bob" Rogers now realize that they have "another guess coming." A* That at Ottawa they paraphrase a well-known bon mot thus: "Bob Rogers helps those who help themselves. '' Ai That if Victoria really wants railway connection with thc Mainland, it should eliminate "Seymour Narrows" and "Bridge" from its dictionary. That if it would seek first a railway route, all necessary adjuncts would he added. Ar That Mr. Dennis Harris' advice still stands ns the best that has yet been offered, and is more than justified by the ultimatum of the Minister. That the attempt of the daily press to "put one across" Colonel Prior did not come off. Ai That the gallant colonel is far too honest a man to lend himself even to a politic misrepresentation. That the most interesting part of the entertainment at the opening of Pantages was the "delicatessen" attention of Miss Ethel Davis to the American Consul and a well-known bank manager. Ai That both these gentlemen must have been reminded of the "delights of youth." That if the management intends to keep this kind of attraction going, it will be assured of packed houses. That Dr. McKay will find it rather difficult to realize his ideal of making the yellow man a "brother" and at the same time supporting an Exclusion policy. Ai That the "Brotherhood of Man" and the "Federation of the World" do not jibe. That nowadays the Brotherhood is of one colour and the Federation of another. LEST YOU FORGET You hnve not yet called at 109 Union Bank Building to get that 20-year endowment policy in The Great-West Life, which wns offered you free of cost in lnst Saturday's '"Week." The offer still holds good. VISITING CARDS According to Polonius, "the apparel oft proclaims the mnn." This is so. In the same way visiting cards oft proclaim the gentleman and no self-respecting person can nfford to do without engrnved cards. Messrs. Dutton & Evans, 625 Courtney Street, make a specialty of all kinds of engraving work nnd embossed stationery, and a visit to their offices will afford the discriminating purchaser an opportunity of getting thc very best in this line of goods. "How Is It," Inquired the younff bride of an older married friend, "that yon always manage to have such delicious heof?" "It's very simple," said the older woman. "I first select a itood, honest hutcher, and then I stand hy him." "You mean that you Kivc him all your trade?" "No; I mean that I stand hy him while ho is outline; tho meat." press." This is a play of the very lightest order, and is in reality nothing mure Ihan a vehicle for most effective stage, work, pretty costumes and, last but by no means least, the humour of that incomparable black- faced comedian, Al. Jolson. "The Honeymoon Express" was a grenl success, and though "there was nothing to it," everyone left the theatre thoroughly well sntislied after two and a half hours' hearty laughter at Mr. Jolson's humour and keen appreciation of the elaborate staging whieh wns a feature of the play. Ar DURING Ihe current week moving-pictures hnve been the order of the afternoon and evening at the Royal Victoria on "dark" days. The possibilities of the cinematograph have been well illustrated by the pictures which have been shown of the Mexican war; it seems incredible that the moving-picture man could obtain such an insight into the realities of modern war as has been proved by the camera. For the rest of the summer the theatre will provide a cinema entertainment whenever no regular company has been engaged to occupy the boards. Ai AVERY interesting event took place on Monday afternoon last, when the beautiful new Pantages Theatre on Government Street gave its opening performance. Sharp at 4 o'clock Sir Richard McBride appeared on tho platform and gave a most humorous speech, in which he introduced Mr. Pantages to the audience and touched upon his enreer in general, as boy, man and theatre manager. The new theatre reflects the greatest credit on the optimism of its owners, Mr. R. T. Elliott and Messrs. McPherson & Fullorton Bros., and well deserves the distinction of being the best equipped vaudeville house in the West. With accommodation for n thousand people the house offers a most attractive appearance, the scats being arranged so that each one has an uninterrupted view of the stage. All the appointments are of the most modern design, and special attention has been directed to making the house fire-proof. Nor has adequate provision for the comfort of the performers been overlooked; the arrangements behind lhe slage are as perfect as those in from, and the net result of the enterprise shown by the gentlemen above named is that A'ictorin is at last in possession of a vaudeville house which need fcar.no comparison with any on the Continent. It is the avowed intention of the management to provide entertainment worthy of the house, and the programme presented during the opening week well justifies tlle belief that in Pantages Theatre we are to have a first-class house providing week by week first-class vaudeville. ri- FOR a long time moving-picture houses experimented with a coujile nf vaudeville turns sandwiched in between a series of pictures, and they found the experiment worth the trial. It has been left to the Nntional Amusement Company to carry tho experiment further and to see how the public would like a smaller number of pictures sandwiched in between four vaudeville acts, and the Empress Theatre on Government was chosen as the scene of the trial. That their enterprise has met with success is daily evidenced by the crowds who throng the one-time vaudeville house to enjoy an excellent. combined performance, which seems tn fill the bill in n most marvellous manner at what seems to be a ridiculously smnll cost. TPI1E Roynl Victoria Theatre on — Friday and Saturday, Mny 2Sth and 30th, will bc given over to the 88th Fusiliers, who are going to produce for the first time in this city a military play by Captain Robert Marshall, entitled "The Second in Command." This play was produced in London for the first time by Mr, Cyril Maude, and made an instantaneous success. The play is here being produced for the benefit of tlie R8th Regiment, so it is hoped thnt the house will be filled to capacity at all of the throe performances, as few objects are more worthy of support than our locnl volunteers. The band of tho 88th Regiment linve kindly offered their services to help the good cause along, nnd will be in attendance nt ench occasion, taking part in the piny itself whenever military music is required. m RECENT arrivals in the entertainment world of Victorin arc Miss Hazel Early and Miss Mnric Harold, who have come direct from a four months' engagement at the Portola Louvre, Snn Francisco, to lake pari in the cabaret performance at the Westholme Grill. These artistes are harmony singers with a wide range of repertoire, which includes selections from grand opera as well as the modern popular ragtime. Miss Louise Francos, who enjoys tho distinction of being the best dressed cabaret performer on the Coast, is slill to be found in the Westholme Grill, where she has been making a great hit as a society entertainer, nnd Mr. Orville Roeder is continuing lo delight guests by his facile playing ou the piano. THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVAL VOLUNTEERS ON Thursday evening Admiral Kiugsmill reviewed the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteers at the Dockyard, Esquimalt. He was accompanied by Commander Rose, R.N., nnd Mr. W. Blakemore, President, who addressed the volunteers on the subject of the announcement of the Government policy as follows;— "The announcement contained in today's Colonist must have been even more welcome to tlie active members of the Royal Canadian Nnval Volunteer Corps thnn to the committee and officials who, while not privileged to tnke part in the drill, have been working for nearly a year to secure Government recognition and an op- propriation to meet the expenses of the movement. "In the moment of victory it is not necessary to recount the hours of disappointment through which we hnve all passed. Personally, I feel Ihat it is impossible to praise too highly lhe spirit of patriotism and camaraderie which have held the force together under disheartening circumstances. "Nothing but the most absolute confidence in your ollicers could have kept the rank nnd file at the pust of duty. Your patience has been rewarded in llie fullest measure, and while on behalf of the ollicers and committee I first of all tender you our unqualified appreciation of your fidelity, I ask you to join with mo in specially thanking the Hon. J. D. Hnzen, Minister of Marine, and Sir Richard McBride for the happy consummation of our plans. "Mr. Hnzen gave a promise nearly a year ago that recognition would come, nnd he has now implemented his promise. Its fulfilment has been long delayed, but I think you must realize that there were obstacles in the way which we perhaps were not in a position to fully appreciate. "In the very voluminous correspondence which, as your President, I have carried on with Mr. Hnzen, urging recognition, he has repeatedly hinted nt the necessity for securing Dominion support for the movement before announcing the Government policy. It is quite conceivable that he would hnve found it extremely difficult to endorse the movement in one Province alone. "I think you will agree with mo that he has dealt with the matter on a broad and statesmanlike basis, which imparts to it an element of stability which it could not have possessed under any Provincial aspect. Canada is now committed to the movement as an integral part of, the Government policy in tlie matter of naval training, and by providing for the establishment of a reserve force on the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Great Lakes, every part of the Dominion is recognized and the movement brought us close to the doors of each Province us physical conditions will permit. "There is another feature of the Government policy which will com* mend itself in an especial degree to British Columbin, nnd thnt is that the "Rainbow" will be utilized on the Pacific Const for training purposes. This was a project dear to the hearts of the local promoters of lhe movement, and il will ensure tho retention in our midst of an efficient training ship, well equipped, which cannot fnil not only to promote the highest clnss of nnvnl training, but to arouse widespread public interest in the movement. "I do not think it is looking too fnr nhead to suggest thnt such a practical ondorsotion of a naval reserve contemplating the formation of nt least twelve companies of one hundred men each in the first year of its existence, may fairly he regarded as the first and a very practical step towards the establishment of a navy in Canadian waters. "Your committee, encouraged by a message received from the Minister little more than a week ago, anticipated the probability of an official announcement of a favourable character during the visit of Admiral Kingsmill, who hns always been a whole-hearted supporter of the movement. It is therefore peculiarly gratifying to find that the Government declaration of a broad and generous policy has actually boon made at such a time.

His support hns been unwavering'; ho lias frequently visited and addressed you, especially when prospects looked lhe darkest. He has time and again communicated both by letter nnd telegram with the Minister, and on the occasion of his recent visit to Ottawa urged him strongly to relieve the tension which then existed and, if possible, make an official declaration. "I think it only fair also to state that the Members of Parliament for Britisli Columbin, without exception, endorsed and used their influence to bring about the fruition of a policy which has now been so happily announced."
