St" Vol. XII, No. j/f The Week fl British Columbia Newspaper and Review The Official Organ of the Victoria Real Estate Exchange Victoria, B, C, Canada, Sept. 26th, 1914 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year rr The Supreme Sacrifice HERE is not a man nor a woman in British Columbia I whose sympathy will not go out to our veteran Navy j -*- Leaguer, Mr. Clive Phillipps Wolley, who has just been ! called upon to make the supreme sacrifice in the gift of his only son to the service of the Empire. There are thousands outside British Columbia who will re-echo this sentiment, for the fame of Mr. Wolley and his patriotic work is in some of its aspects Empire-wide. Terrible as the loss will be to a father whose hopes "wcre wrapped up in the career of his son, one can feel assured that if the call had to come it could have come in no friendlier guise. As a gentleman, a patriot and a Christian Mr. Wolley will be well fortified to sustain even such a loss, and he would be less than human if hc were hot comforted and strengthened by the assurance that his sorrow is shared by the many who know and appreciate his sterling character and his invaluable services. Progress of the War THE latest report of Sir John French, published yesterday, brings the incidents of the war in France up to the 22nd, .and confirms the meagre details which have leaked out day by day to the effect that both armies are practically entrenched along a front of more than a hundred miles; that the battle has [ becn continuous with no marked successes on either side, that there had been a little give and take here and there, with the Germans maintaining a very strong centre, and that on the Allies' left a decided turning movement was developing which culminated on Thursday in the capture of Pennine, and which gave hope of enveloping the German right Hank. The most favourable aspect of thc report is to lie found in the renewed confidence of Sir John French and General Joffre. They appear to have no anxiety as to thc ultimate result: they point' out that merely to hold the German front where it is spells certain defeat for the Kaiser"s troops in the end, and they arc doing decidedly more than that. Without being too optimistic it may fairly be said that day by day evidences ire accumulating which point to the probability of a German retreat, and the possibility of a disastrous one. The Russians continue their victorious march in Galicia. They have isolated Przemysl, captured Jaroslav, and are marching on Cracow. If thc reports as to the disposition of the German troops in the east are correct there can be no formidable opposition to the capture of thc ancient Polish capital, which would place them well on the highway to Berlin via Breslau. The operations in East Prussia arc chiefly interesting as confirming thc impression that the immense Russian army operating in that section is rather an army of conquest and occupation than one destined to move on Berlin, ll is by no means certain that any attempt will bc made to cross the formidable barrier interposed by the Vistula and its strongly fortified cities Hanking East Prussia. But the Russian army is bound to keep a large Germany army occupied, and that would appear to bc its mission. The saddest and most impressive incident of the week has becn the sinking of three British cruisers in the North Sea by German submarines, The loss of three cruisers of obsolete type is not a very serious matter for the navy ; the loss of more than one thousand brave seamen has brought home to the hearts of our people, as nothing before, the terrible risks which arc being run in this most terrible of all wars. It- would bc idle to speculate on the policy of the British naval authorities, There are catastrophes against which there would seem to be no protection, but the risks are not greater on the one side than on the other, and there is certainly no inferiority in British ships, British sailors or British officers. There is an Empire- wide impatience for our navy to strike, but that impatience would speedily bc turned into consternation if thc blow were so ill-timed as to result in further disaster. This is essentially a case where we have to trust thc man on the bridge. That in his own good time Sir John Jellicoe will avenge the lost sailors of the "Aboukir," the "Crcssy" and (lie "lloguc," no one doubts, neither docs anyone doubt that his time will be the best time. At the close of the week comes the news that Canada's first contribution to the forces of the Empire has left Valcartier, and that 30,000 men are now being convoyed across the Atlantic by warships and cruisers of the British Navy. That they will ultimately reach the shores of France as safely as the British armies which have already becn convoyed there, cannot be doubted, and this will liberate a formidable fleet for service in other waters, and primarily for the destruction of those German cruisers which have been playing havoc with our merchantmen during the past week or two owing to the concentration of our fast cruisers elsewhere. The progress of the war finds our people everywhere determined, hopeful and even confident. Nothing has happened to shake this confidence. On the whole conditions are improving, for every day which delays the consummation of the plans of the aggressor increases the certainty of his ultimate defeat. The one word which at the present time is always in season is the call of Kitchener to the young men of the Empire to take the place of those who have fallen in the ranks, and every young man in the Empire who is worthy to bc called a man will realize that the appeal is a personal one. The Patriotic Fund UXDFR the most favourable auspices the Victoria Patriotic Fund has been started. It has a popular president, a strong executive, a representative and well-chosen organization, and starts out without a single handicap. The meeting held in thc Council Chasnber on Wednesday night cleared the air. A prolonged and at times warm debate finally led to a unanimous decision which favoured the conduct of the work of the committee along the lines already laid down, viz., that the, first call on thc funds raised should be for the Canadian Patriotic Fund, which aims at taking care of the families and dependents of men on active service; the second call to relieve distress incident to the war. These two governing principles cover all the ground witll which the committee is capable of dealing. The unemployment question, which was mooted at the meeting, was quickly shown to be of too wide-spread a character to be dealt with as a side issue by the Patriotic Fund Committee. It calls for united action on the part of the municipalities and the Provincial Government, whose duty it is, wherever possible, to initiate public works so that unemployment may be lessened and honest workingmen may not become objects of charity. To this end every effort should he made, and made promptly. It is not a moment too soon to begin to organize relief works, but to complicate the laudable and insistent demands of thc Patriotic Fund by endeavouring to cover the unemployment problem would be to imperil the success of the former without materially advancing the interests of the latter. Not the least gratifying feature of Wednesday night's meeting was the general testimony to the splendid work done by Mrs. Hay, and the organizations working with the Daughters of the Empire, who havc already raised $14,000, and who are caring for every family dependent upon those who arc in active service, and doing it in a manner which is beyond all praise. The statement of the chairman that the entire matter of the distribution of local relief would be left in the hands of these ladies met with the heartiest approval of thc meeting. The White Feather League A REMARKABLE league has been established in London. It is the work of the girls, and is meeting with singular success. It was originated in consequence of the serious complaints made by our leading public men of the difficulty in inducing able-bodied young men of a certain class to enlist. One of the leading London dailies commented upon the fact that any day one might see several thousand young fellows hanging round Hyde Park or St. James' Park watching the troops drill, but that on being approached by the recruiting sergeant they melted away. Lord Kitchener's appear has been insistent, and finally has so impressed the girls that thev started a "White Feather League." The organization covers lhe whole of London. || is a recruiting agency. The girls divide into squads and patrol certain specified sections. Every young fellow they meet is politely accosted and asked to enlist. If hc consents, the girls conduct him to the nearest Page Two THE WEEK recruiting office; if he refuses, without sufficient excuse, they simply say, "Then permit me to present you with a white feather." As a rule one white feather has been found to do the trick. Few young men have becn found callous enough to risk a second. In addition, the girls agree, and il is said that they stand by their bargain, to boycott any young men of their acquaintance who "funk" service. This mav seem an extreme step, but only to those who have not realized the seriousness of the present crisis and who do not feel that when Kitchener says he wants men "this means you." There are hundreds of young fellows of this type in Victoria. Are our girls patriotic enough to start a White Feather League? Amateur Competition Tl I E well-meaning ladies who have opened an office on Fort Slreet, primarily as an employment agency, but also to sell Irish lace and tea may, without unkinclness, be said to havc exhibited more zeal than discretion. Their motives cannot be questioned; they are of the highest. But their methods arc calculated to accentuate the distressful conditions which they arc anxious to relieve. The ladies of England have found this out by experience and have already decided lo abandon lines of activity which bring the amateur into competition with the professional worker. The reason for this is obvious. Wherever amateur work tends to deprive the paid workers of labour, or to curtail the incomes of those who are engaged in legitimate business, it increases distress and helps to defeat its own object. "Business as usual" is the motto of the Empire at this time. Ladies who are making garments, ladies who are doing thc work of thc regular employment agencies, ladies who arc trying to run tea-rooms, ladies who are selling articles which can bc bought at reasonable figures in our own stores are helping to cut the ground from under thc feet of' those who are trying to earn an honest living in our midst. In proportion to the success of their enterprise they will throw other persons out of employment, and possibly put other people out of business. There are within a stone's throw of the office of the Local Council of Women four or live tea-rooms carried on by women who are working hard to make a living for themselves and a few dependents. With all respect it is suggested that they should not have to submit to the competition of an amateur tea shop conducted binder the aegis of patriotism. The Public Market THIS week's public market entitles the promoters to the congratulations of the community. Nearly all the stalls were occupied, the produce was brought from the country, it was sold at more reasonable prices than last week, the bulk of it decidedly lower than the prices ruling in the retail stores. This was not unnatural seeing that the vendors incur no expense for delivery. The cheapest lines wcre fruit, poultry and meat. One enterprising vendor came with an automobile load of lamb for which he was besieged at $2.00 for the hind-quarter, and $1.50 for the fore-quarter, (hi the average weight of the quarters, this worked out at sixteen cents a pound, which brought lamb within lhc reach even of the rich. The only criticism which one need offer is that some of the largest producing districts, notably Cowichan, were not represented, although they had clamoured loudly for lhe establishment of a public market. There is no doubt thai if lhe standard set yesterday can be maintained the market will prove a boon not only to the producer and the consumer, but incidentally to the general storekeepers with whom an appreciable percentage of lhe takings must necessarily be spent.

It wns mining; but I have seen rain in Victoria I before. The street wns the reverse lol' a basiling hive of industry, but I have seen smaller crowds. I stood nud ga/.ed and pondered, and at lnsl I I awoke to the fact that the telephone poles hnd been taken down ou lbe west side of the street. 1 do not suppose that the alteration thus ef- proved and handed down unimpaired to succeed.ng generations if (he worthy example of the Parks Committee be followed—always provided that Ihe estimable gentlemen are correct in their premises thai all the vandals are carefully secluded in the German Army. Everybody's business is nobody's business, but that is no reason why iu these days suspicious actions should be wilfully ignored by those who happen to observe them. There is a story round town of a tunnel, driven in secret at some place unknown for n purpose which is serupu- working ou the tunnel is, or wns, a fected is ns obvious to those who! working on the tunnel is, or wnr, n were in the city when the work was actually being done, bul I can assure i you thai to one wanderer returned the beneficial results are very conspicuous, and when the poles on the Nasi side have been removed I think | that Government Street will be im- | proved a thousand-fold. A startling innovation recently ef- I'ecled by the Parks Committee I prompts me to make a suggestion which might help to solve in some partial measure the question of un- I employment in Victoria.

We have furl her a number of works German who preserved an overpowering air of mystery regarding his occupation, nud the renson for the big wages he was drawing. It is probable Ihat the tunnel is a drain and that the enterprise is of the mosl harmless nature. At the same lime, it is possible that Ihe reverse is the case, nnd surely it is the duty of those of our citizens to whose notice such a suspicious incident is brought lo communicate lhe fads as they know them to the authorities lesl harm befall. If lhe mailer is innocent, well and good, and no harm is done.

One of the officers was a light young man with clear blue eyes. He was hot and dusty like the men. I was struck by the serious air of this slender youth, by his manifest earnestness, nml by his paradoxical boyishness. I had been tramping for ten minutes before the truth flashed upon my mind. The hot and dusty youth was none other than the Prince of Wales. .The dusty men behind were not overawed by his presence. He and they swung along like comrades. The men were in high spirits. They broke into songs as they marched. Por the first time I heard the song that is now famous —"It's a long, long way to Tipper- ai'y." Another ono was the popular song in "Hullo, Tango"—"Get Out and Get Under." I suppose it is "Kaiser Bill" who is being urged to get out and get under. But the air that brought tears into my eyes and shook me to the soul was not a song at all. It was a hymn tune. The Guards whistled it as they marched to Hyde Park Corner. If was that beautiful hymn—"Sun of my Soul." Believe me, the poignancy of the tunc was heart-breaking. II was so indubitably British, and these were British lads in the splendour of Ibeir manhood going ere long to die, if need be, for everything that Britons hold in reverence. I liked the spirit Ihat prompted the Guards to whistle "Sun of my Soul." There is hardly any Briton in any part of the world who has mil heard that hymn ami sung it in Ihe days of his youth before he left lhe home of his boyhood. The songs pass, but lhe old hvnn tunes remain in the memory. The English-speaking race is knit together by il heritage of hymns. Americans who have never sel fool in England can feel the magic of soldiers marching to the moving and lhe noble music of "Sun of my Soul." II is Ibeir hymn as well as ours. And T know that in Britain's epic defence of Belgium and France the hearts of our American kinsmen beal in unison with ours. The cajoleries of the Kaiser and his emissaries cannol break lhe brotherhood based upon lhc English Bible. Ihe English hymns, Ihe English language, nnd lhe great body of English literature. Now that lhe old world is dying and the new world is being burn in agony and anguish, T have a clear faith in Ihe mighty democracy of the United States. Tl is with us in our fight for Ihe dawn of n better day, when lhe sword of Prussia will be beal en into a ploughshare, and William the Witless will no longer drag the Germany op Goethe nnd Beethoven through the mud nnd ordure of Nietzsche. My friend Mr. Douohne (ells us in lhe Daily Chronicle that Ihe British soldiers who saved lhe French lcfl nl Minis and Cnmbrai have nicknamed lhc Kaiser "William the Weed." It is a good name, for he is morally aud spiritually a noxious and poisonous weed, that must be plucked out of the soil of Europe. His power is a power of darkness, it is strong iu its evil malignity, but it is weak in its moral fibre. All that is best and holiest in humanity is ranged against it. This is not cant. It is hard, bare reality. In our bones we feel that the Super-Brute who disembowelled Belgium, who laid Lou- vain in ashes, and who puts his trust in bombs aud murdered hostages, is the supreme enemy of mankind. Humbly we put our trust in the mills of God that soon or late will grind the legions of fraud and force and will grind them exceeding small. Those mills ground Napoleon into dust, and they will grind into equal dust the monster who preaches the develish gospel of Atlila with Ihe name of (lod on his lips. The Guards as they marched asked Ihe great question, "Shall we win?" They shouted the great answer, "Yes." It is the everlasting Yes of the ages. We shall win. Why? Nol because we nre strong, but because we are ou lhe side of lhe eternal verities against which the gates of hell cannot prevail. We do not believe that (lod is on the side of the big battalions. That is a lying cynicism. It is the old sneer of the ancient devil. The glory of Liege is the answer lo it. Oilier answers are Ihe glory of Mons and the glory of Cambrai. What was the powei wliich inspired Belgium to defy thc might of the Kaiser? What was Ihe power which enabled our heroic soldiers to meet and beat forces three times their number? It was the invisible and imponderable power of right marshalled against might. These are purging and purifying limes. We are walking in the fiery furnace, and each one of ns must come out of it cleansed of all that is mean and ignoble. There is a grenl process of regeneration going on in Ihis nation. The manhood of our race is rising out of ils sloth and ils selfishness. Our young men are turning into heroes before our eyes. I can see the heroic flame in every batch op recruits marching from Whitehall to Waterloo. I can see il iu every war-worn, wounded soldier coming back Prom the war. It is leaping like a prairie fire through England and Wales, through Scot- land and Ireland, through Canada nnd South Africa, through New Zealand and the Australian Commonwealth. This is the flame that will consume William, the Weed. And remember Ihnl lhe grenl (lame of Britisli heroism is only beginning to blaze round the world. Nn matter what may be lhe fortunes of bailie, il will burn brighter and brighter. The Kaiser does not know thnt sacred fire. He can count in guns and sabres, but nol .in souls. The new soul of the new France is a revelation lo him. He did not understand its splendour. The soul of Belgium staggered him. Tie did not dream of its valour. And the final blow will be his discovery of thc soul of Britain.—London Opinion.)

SOVEREIGN MRKUMES LIMITED TORONTO, ONT. 6 Th iLUiiiiim i\ nmimffltiMrimr THE WEEK Page Five A PRETTY but quiet, wedding took place at Kamloops on Tuesday, September 22nd, when Miss Lilian Pearse, youngest daughter of Mr. E. T. W. Pearse, Government Agent and Gold Commissioner at Kamloops, B. C, and of Mrs. Pearse, became the bride of Mr. Lynlph Tollemache, youngest: son of the late Rev. R. W. Lionel Tollemache, of South Wythams, Lincolnshire, England. The ceremony was performed by the Rector, the Rev. H. Akchurst, the little Anglican Church being prettily decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride and her family. The bride looked charming as she was escorted to the altar by her father. She was attired in a lovely gown of ivory charmeuse, with transparent ninon bodice, the whole being literally covered with exquisite old Limerick lace, lent for the occasion by Mrs. W. J. Roper, of Victoria. With this gown wns worn the regulation court train of the same material, slung from the shoulders, and edged with orange blossoms, also being draped with Limerick lace. A cap of the same beautiful lace, wilh coronet of orange blossoms, aud Brussels net veil completed the charming toilet. The bride's only attendant was Miss Trixie Vicars, daughter of Col unci Vicars. She was becomingly gowned in champagne dresden crepe, I rimmed wilh shadow lnce, a deep belt of copper coloured satin; the cap worn being of gold lace with rose Luils. The flowers were a sheaf of Madonna lilies lied with tulle, carried by Ihe bride, Miss Vicars carrying a boqiiet of pink roses tied with pink tulle. Owing to mourning in the bride's family, no reception was held, a few intimate friends only adjourning to the rectory nfter lhe ceremony to offer llieir good wishes, and later speeding lhe happy couple off on llieir honeymoon tu Banff, before lhe bridegroom's departure lo lhe front, he being attached lo the Oxford University Corps. The wedding is of especial interest to Victorians, the bride being a great neice of lhe late Mr. B. W. Pearse. of "Fernwood," Victoria, and also of Mr. W. ,').' Roper, of "Sherbiiurne," Oak Bay. The bridegroom is a nephew ol' Lord Tollemache, and a lirsl cousin up Lord Dysarl. Thc Ladies' Needlework Guild is under the patronage of Mrs. G. 11, Barnard, Rockland Avenue, and nol Mrs. F. S.

Page Six THE WEEK ■ i ■ I E I Mining Notes THE Consolidated Mining ami Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd., has declared a dividend of two per cent, for Ihe quarter ending September 30, payable October 1. The total of this profits distribution will be $110,088; it is the third dividend of similar amount declared this year. The Standard Silver-Lead Co. this mouth paid only half the customary monthly dividend, namely, at the rate of V/i cents a share on its 2,000,000 issued shares, instead of the usual 2'A cents u share. The reason for the reduction in the dividend is that fnr more than a month no ore has been shipped lo the semltery, consequently Ihe company has not received revenue from production, as it does when conditions are normal. Vi A. The Grand Forks City Council last week discussed a suggestion made by one of ils Aldermen to the effect that a plan might he worked out for securing Government aid to the copper mining industry, so as lo bring about a resumption of mining and smelting operations by the Granby and Brilish Columbia Copper Mining Companies. II was decided to take lhc matter up with the local Board of Trade. The total of the ore receipts at the Consolidated Co.'s smellry at Trail during the week ended September 17, was 10,105 Ions, wliich was the largest quantity received in any one week Ihis year, and probably constituted a record weekly total for all years fnr lhe Trail works. The proportion from Rossland mines was 8,474 Ions. Both lhc Centre Star and Le Roi groups made record weekly shipments I'm lhe year, Ihe former wilh an output of 5,525 Ions, ami the, latter of 2,07!)

The Camera In Warfare The utility of tlie camera in warfare has long been recognized by military experts. Forty years ago, when photographic science was primitive and uncertain as compared with today, it played a not inconspicuous part in the Franco-German campaign of 1870. In spite of tlie bulk and inconvenience of the old wet-plate process, which was the best then available, photography was put to effective use in the field for surveying purposes. In the Interval since then giant strides have been made in photography, especially on its optical side, and apparatus of the most accurate and reliable kind has been specially designed for military use. In Germany many patents have been taken out for instruments of this character. That tho camera will take an important part in the present campaign both In the ranks of the Germans and those of the Allies in providing the respective commanders with maps and plans of the theatre of war is unite certain. A photograph in the Illustrated press showed the Kaiser on horseback examining photographs of the Allies' position which had presumably been supplied by his air scouts. The evolution of the air ship and aeroplane has made the use of photography in warfare more useful than ever. The development of the modern telephoto lens has made it possible to obtain photographs on a. large scale at considerable distances and even under comparatively unfavourable lighting conditions. Trades Killed By the War One "trade" that has been temporarily, at least, killed by the war is that of the Army "crammer," for commissions are to be had almost for the asking. Under normal conditions tht profession nourishes, and may be said to have justified Itself in its results. Lord Kitchener himself is the product of an Army crammer. The Rev. .1. Perclval Frost, of Kensington, sent Chermslde and Kitchener for one Woolwich entrance examination. Chermslde, who became a major-general, a Governor of an Australian State, and who commanded the mixed forces in Crete, passed at the top, Kitchener being a place or two lower down the list. General French was "crammed" for the Royal Navy. Lord Sydenham, who passed lirst Into and first out of AA'ool- wlch, was for part of hls school career nt llailcybiiry, but he ended it at AA'im- bledon School—a crammery where the teaching wns more thorough than at some of the places on Woolwich Common, where conic sections—for examination purposes—could be learnt between supper and three in thc morning. Not a few able generals crammed for Ihe Ktaff College witli Messrs. Wren. Dr. Miller Maqulre, who has enjoyed the reputation of being tlie greatest European authority on strategy and tactics, could afford to pick and choose for his pupils those likely to do him credit. Hut just ns the "crammerles" found their occupation gone during the liner War, so now they are destined to suffer. There is no competing witll the sterner teaching of the school of experience. Holland and the War In view of the discussion about the attitude of Holland towards tbe war I sought thc opinion of an eminent Englishman whose services at the Hague are well known. He believed that of the Dutch people in general the considerable majority are strongly Anglophile. There Is a warm admiration among tlie Dutch for the part played In recent events by the Belgians, and nn enhanced cordiality towards Grent Britain ns the protector of small nationalities. For many years now, T was told, there has been a growing distrust of Germans In the Netherlands, and Ibis feeling has 1 nine Intensified In lhc lasl few weeks. While neutrality was the only possible attitude for Holland under the circumstances which attended the outbreak of war, the sympathies of her people were given to the Allies, and it was generally recognized that the Interests of all the smaller nations of Europe were bound up with the success of the united armies. As to the iliplo- matte attitude of Holland towards Germany, I gather that Important negotiations between the two Governments must have preceded the Invasion Belgium, but the view that the Neth lands Government was made aware of the intentions of Germany towards Belgium is scouted. On the contrary, I am told that the fate of their Belgian neighbors has had a startling effect upon Dutch opinion, and that uneasl ness as to the future is springing up in all directions. THE PRINCESS THEATRE A real, good old-fashioned melodrama has held the boards at the Princess Theatre this week in "The Stowaway," n play whicli gives Miss Vernn Felton an opportunity to shine in an entirely new role; and Mr. Charles Conners to display to the utmost that native wit which has made him such a favourite. Melodrama needs comic relief and Mr. Conners furnishes it in his happiest style and is ably seconded by Mr. Biron Kagan. Miss Felton is really inimitable in the boy part nnd fairly brings the house down with he rsongs, interpolated in the fourth act. Miss flene Graeme and Miss Lillian Fischer have been doing excellent work in their respective roles, while Mr. Norman Feusier in the extremely difficult character of the villian, achieves a slage triumph by drawing forth execrations from the "gods."
