THE SUBJECTS OF THE KING Are in the giving line. WHERE ARE YOU? If your nanie is nut already on lhe list place il there today. IT IS YOUR SIMPLE DUTY The sailors and soldiers of the Empire are doing theirs. Am I lining mine? For men who are giving their lives I cannot do less than the utmost. I can help during the war: 1. TO SUPPORT THE WIVES, CHILDREN AND DEPENDENTS OP THOSE ON ACTIVE SERVICE. 2. OF THOSE KILLED IN WAR. 3. TO ASSIST THE WIVES, CHILDREN AND DEPENDENTS OF THOSE PLUNGED INTO WANT BY THE WAR. My offering can be devoted to the above purpose? by making cheques and orders payable to The Victoria Patriotic Aid Society Corner of Fort and Broad Streets Phases of the War NOT a few of the leading English papers are beginning to tire of thc policy which the press has pursued since tho beginning of the war, and for the lirst time evince a disposition to face the facts. For two and a half months, with the exception of the period during which thc Allies were retreating westward from Mons to the fortifications of Paris, we have been regaled with a story of repeated German reverses, either on the eastern or western frontier. Sir John French's report gave us the only glimpse of the truth, when he showed how nearly tlie British forces were to annihilation on that first retreat from Mons. But for his illuminating statement we mighl have accepted all that thc Press Association told us, including the statement that the retreat of the Allies was strategic. We now know that it was nothing of the kind. Wc know that the retreat meant defeat, and if tlie positions had been reversed, wc should have called it by no other name. We know that we werc only saved by a miracle, and that miracle a further tribute to the superiority of the German forces which had advanced so rapidly that they had out-distanced their supplies, But for this there would have been no turning south and east when they were just within reach of Paris, and but for this, it can hardly now be doubted that the capilal would have fallen before their invincible siege guns just as quickly as l.iege, Namur and Antwerp. The acceptance of these cold facts detracts nothing from the prowess and valour of the French and Britisli forces, which, during this period were vastly outnumbered, nor does it detract from their brilliant victory at the Marne. The experience of thc last month, when thc two great hostile forces have faced each other at the Aisne, with very slightly varying features of success, tends to show that the retreat of thc Germans was in no sense a rout, that they skilfully fell back on entrenched positions wliich they had carefully prepared and that, on the whole, they have been able tn maintain those positions ever since. One can hardly think without humiliation of the misleading reports which the Press has given us every day of the impending envelopment of von Kluck's army by the left wing of thc Allies, and once of his surrender. Equally humiliating is thc repeated record of the Crown Prince's army being in such danger thai he was supposed to be retreating to his frontier. The events of the last week have put an entirely different complexion on thc war. They have shown the remarkable vitality and mobility of the German forces, which have been able while holding the Allies at bay along the battle line of two hundred miles, to detach an army strong enough to capture Antwerp, the strongest fortified city in Europe, to drive more than 20,000 Belgian and British soldiers into Holland, and to cover the northwest of Belgium at such a rate that at the moment of writing they are within reach of Ostend. Nor has the Press been more fortunate in its representation of affairs on the eastern frontier. We have had nothing but a succession of Russian victories. The Austrian army has been annihilated a dozen times. East Prussia and Galicia have been overrun by the Russians. A month ago they took Allenstein. Nearly a month ago they were supposed to be in force as far west as Thorn. A fortnight ago they were pouring through the passes of the Carpathians into Hungary, and their advance guards had been seen in the environs of Cracow. Without wishing for a moment to mimimize the importance or extent of the Russian victories, it is only necesasry to take the map and look at the present battle line, to sec that it extends from a point east of Konigsberg to a point 80 miles east of Allenstein and through Pzremysl to the Carpathians. This line shows an average retreat to the east of from fifty to one hundred miles. Tt is not to be concluded that this retreat is due to German and Austrian victories. It may be as the despatches from Petrograd claim—that it is a strategic battle line which thc Russians have deliberately chosen, but it would be a mistake not to concede that the positions both in France and in the East, arc a tribute to the marvelous strength of the German army. It well illustrates the wisdom of Lord Roberts' warning of a fortnight ago, which came when the daily press was most jubilant, to thc effect that it would be a mistake to be too optimistic and that, while there was nothing to fear, there was every reason for strenuous, determined endeavour in a war which looked more than ever like being a fight to the finish. There may be some people foolish enough to think that this view of the case is pessimistic, although The Week ventures to believe that none of ils readers will take that view. The most urgent necessity of the moment is that we should all recognize the difficulties that lie before us. With a just cause, brave soldiers, an invincible spirit, and skillful leaders, nothing can prevent the ultimate success of the British people and their Allies, but the struggle has but just begun. It is more strenuous than we know. There can hardly be a doubt that the press despatches have been something worse than misleading. They have unintentionally played the German game, by flushing our people with the impress of victory, and leading them tn suppose that it would be easy, if not cheap. Such an impression is an enemy to effort. Tt checks recruiting and establishes a false sense of security. Tt should not bc ton much to hope that the strong protest now being made in influential quarters will be effectual, and that a more sane and frank report nf the true condition of affairs will shortly bc available. When thc truth is told and thc people realize it, they will sweep aside all the cast iron regulations which arc now tending to hamper the freedom nf individual action, and rush to the point where every blow which is struck is a blow for the maintenance nf frccdnm and civilization. Mobilization IT TS indeed gnnd news tn hear that thc Government has decided so promptly to prepare for thc sending of a scennd contingent to England. This will raise the Canadian representation to a force of fifty thousand men, at which figure it is to be maintained by constant reinforcement. This is a substantial contribution, but not one which, having regard to the population of Canada and thc necessities of the case can bc fairly considered adequate. Tt is announced that the contingent will not sail until early in the New Year, but The Week ventures to doubt whether any decision on this matter has yet been reached. There arc obvious reasons why it should not go as a unit, but why it would be better, if thc mailer of transport can be conveniently arranged, lo send lhc men over a thousand or fifteen hundred al a time. Camping in eastern Canada for training purposes is out Page Two THE WEEK of the question in the winter, and in any event the men would secure better training in England. A suggestion has been made that the western part of the contingent might well be established in a camp on Vancouver Island, where climatic and other conditions would be altogether favourable. The suggestion is excellent, if it is practicable, especially as it should be feasible to transport the men by water from Victoria through the Panama Canal. This would effect a great saving in cost, if time were not a matter of importance. If, however, the influence being exerted in favour of tlie project of training the western men here should be successful, it would have to be contingent upon the securing of a sufficient staff of military instructors from the Old Country, and that might not be possible under existing circumstances. Left for the Front Ronald Gillespie, B.C.L.S., left hist night for England to volunteer for lhe war. THUS briefly does the local press chronicle the departure of a young fellow born in Victoria, who could not wait for the Second Contingent, but at his own expense, has gone to the front. How many more will follow his example? How many more are tired of waiting? " Mow many hundreds bound to Victoria by the red tape of the Militia Department are chafing to break away? Every day brings a call from Kitchener. Every cablegram from England tells of recruiting, and pleads its urgency. Only last week The Week chronicled the arrival of the Legion of Frontiersmen, who had gone at their own expense, and were at once accepted by the Minister of War. Seventy-eight men of Elliott's Horse, seasoned veterans who need no training, have been held in Victoria for six weeks at the cost of thousands of dollars, because the Canadian Government was not ready to send them to the front. The same may be said of the B. C. Horse, who must be weary of waiting. It is not the fault of the D. O. C. He is doing all that the regulations will allow. Tn fact, it may not bc anybody's fault, unless it be that of the Minister of Militia, who is in Europe when he ought to be in Canada attending to his duties. One sometimes wonders whether he has heard that the Empire is at war, or whether he thinks that it is a picnic which is being held in France and Belgium. Regulations are all very well, but al such a time as this they should at least be elastic, and knowing that every man would be- accepted if he could present himself in England, there should be no red tape regulations, requiring the willing lighter to join some militia unit, or to wait indefinitely until the Second Contingent is ready. Tt should be a case of handing a transportation ticket to every man ready, willing and fitted to go to the front, so that he could start on the next boat. Plot Cultivation THE. Victoria and Vancouver Island Development Association is making some progress with its scheme for Plot Cultivation, although the movement does not seem to be as popular as one could wish. Victorians are proverbially conservative, and adopt new ideas slowly. Perhaps it would hel]) thc movement along if they are convinced that it was not a new idea at all, but has been carried out successfully, not only in many parts of England, but in some Canadian cities, notably Calgary. The admirable verses from the Spectator, which will be found in the current issue of The Week should help the movement by amusing popular interest in an excellent project. What is really wanted worse than anything else is to persuade the householder to cultivate his own lot, and probably this is the object which the Committee has in view in offering prizes. The Government cannot too soon "get busy" with its experimental plots. Iron Ore Deposits THE Dominion Government has acceded to the request of the City Council, the Victoria Board of Trade, and the Development Association preferred through Sir Richard McBride, to appoint a Commission to investigate and report on the iron ore deposits of the Dominion. As this covers British Columbia, local interests will be satisfied. The Commission consists of three members of the Geological Survey, of whom Professor Lind- cmann is well acquainted with the Province and has previously reported on some of our ore deposits, notably the extensive ones mi Texada Island. When this Commission has completed its labours, it may reasonably be expected that the other branches of the subject submitted to Sir Richard will be taken up. and that the result will bc tlie establishment of an iron and steel industry at thc Coast. The importance of this subject is obscured for the moment by graver questions, but by the time they are disposed of, it will again become the most important industrial question for the Pacific Coast. The Carnival Deficit IX THE last issue of The Week, reference was made tn a circular which had been issued to the creditors of the Carnival Committee, urging them to contract with the Retail Merchants Association for the collection of the moneys clue to them from the Carnival. Tt was proposed that for making this collection the Association should receive 20 per cent, of the sum collected Tn criticising this circular, The Week had only one object in view, viz., to conserve the interest of those tradesmen who were so unfortunate as to have this money owing to them. The Week could not see then, and canot see now, why they should have to compound for their accounts at eighty cents on the dollar. The $8,300 which these debts aggregate, should have been paid long ago, and should have been paid by the city. While there is no doubt that the Carnival was a mistake and a disappointment, it cannot be questioned that it was initiated for the benefit of the City as a whole, and not for that of any individual. The City Council contributed to the funds and backed the enterprise, and the City Council should therefore pay, and it should pay a whole dollar and not four-fifths of a dollar. However, the Secretary of the Victoria Merchants Association has explained that most of the creditors are members of the Association, that they are therefore parties to the proposed arrangement, and morever that the 20 per cent, will go into thc coffers of the Association and that the actual cost of collecting the moneys, and no more, will be paid out. Moreover, The Week understands that the acceptance of this offer will insure tbe payment of the money. Under these circumstances the matter becomes a purely domestic affair of the Merchants Association, and bears a very different aspect from that presented by thc circular without this explanation. The Week hopes to hear that the project has had a successful issue, and that the whole of the moneys due have been paid. The Local Council of Women IN THE current issue of Thc Week will be found a letter from the Secretary of the Local Council nf Women, in defence of the establishment nf tea rooms at (i2i7 Fort Street. It must in fairness be admitted that the explanation offered removes some of the strongest objections which have heen urged against the rooms, but The Week cannot regret having called attention to thc case since its article has-resulted.in an explanation which puts this admirable organization right with the public. Now that it is made clear that the activities carried on there do not in any sense compete with bread-winners, the objections urged may well be withdrawn, provided always that the lines laid down in the Secretary's letter are strictly adhered to. War and the Advertiser THE Westminster Gazette has a very incisive article on the subject of advertising during the war. It is ton long for reproduction, but its main argument is well worth mentioning. It speaks of the ill effect produced since thc outbreak of war by a number of firms who have ceased to advertise, thus dislocating the business machinery of the country, giving less work to the printer, the paper-maker, the bill-poster, thc advertising agents, increasing distress and unemployment. Wiser firms have adopted a different policy, viz., to reach out for new markets by additional advertising. The Westminster Gazette claims that business houses which flave followed this policy arc doing their part to reduce the inevitable harm of war. They are the only ones who are living up to the motto, "Business as Usual," and they will come through the war strengthened and with enhanced reputation, At no lime is advertising more likely to produce permanent results. Xew needs are being revealed by the war; markets which have been closed to us arc now open; advertising is part of the normal machinery of every prosperous business; it represents the cheapest, the quickest and the most certain means of acquiring new- business. Prosperity will not come to the man who does nothing to evoke it, but to him who lets the world know that he is in business, that he intends to remain in business, and that those who wish tn do business will find him eager and willing in their service. In an editoral during the early part of the week The Victoria Colonist enforced this same view, and pointed to thc fact that it was carrying more outside advertising then ever before. This shows that those in the best position to judge know that there is business to be done, it also shows that they recognize advertising as the legitimate means of getting their share.

Single copies, Be. Foreign subscriptions to countries in Postal Union, $3.00 WILLIAM BLAKEMORE President and Editor L. McLEOD GOULD Secretary From Desk to Rifle A Regiment in the Making (By T. W. S.) "IT7E BLUNDERED through" ▼ » was an oft repeated expression, following the conclusion of the Boer War. This expression is dead; today we go through with efficiency. Not so many days ago, in llie piping times of peace, the new recruit suffered the usual sneers of the pavement cynic; he emerged, of course, for all that a representative type of the British soldier. Once in this class, he is always your British soldier whatever the public may call him. There was no cause for surprise in all that. Excitement for the safety of the cynic's life changed everything. Lord Kitchener called for half a million men, and then for another 500,000; within a month of his message to the Nation the Overseas Dominions began to pour in their contingents. Officialdom was taken by surprise, but the ingenuity of the British officer was equal to the occasion. 1 wonder how many of our citizens know exactly what did happen in one of the new Kitchener Regiments in the making, more especially in one of those of Victorin, in which "self' was so superbly and instantly forgotten at the Willows. The business men heard the call of the 50th Canadian Gordon Highlanders and dashed off post haste to the training centre. The lirst rally gave them 50 to form the nucleus of a regiment. One always found Ihe officer in command magnificently practical and the Drill Sergeant likewise, and quite openly did they rejoice that they were not hampered by precedent or retarded by "red tape" regulations. Clothes, of course, they needed for Ibeir men, but these had lo be given to those noble lirst recruits now on English soil. So the hardy fashion of the famous Boer lighters prevails, and the patriots drill in (heir shirt sleeves when it is hoi, and ordinary overalls in normal conditions. "For the rest we must wail a bit," The commanding officer looks al the straight line dressing from lhe right, and says, "I've got the men" —and that's the main thing, When Ihe history of this great war comes to be written, the making of Kitchener's regiments will rank as one of: the greatest of the one-man's jobs. A week later I lake my observations again. The new born babe has grown inlo a fully confident child. For all Hint, increase of confidence has not meant lack of discipline. "What is that you snid, Sergeant?" is the anxious query of the latest recruit. The adage is as old as the hills (the more you know, how much more there is to learn, etc." The new units of Ihe 50th Canadian Gordon Highlanders nre not likely lo forget it. "Any trouble with them, officer?" T asked, "flood Heavens, no!" he replied, "Ihey are doing work six months in advance of manv recruits 'joining the regular army." Then he added, "You see, we are all out for efficiency.'' Therein lies the secret. They are all out for efficiency and efficiency this time means the real thing without any veneer. It is no longer a case of taking the "King's Shilling." Lord Kitchener's plan is much more than a mere military move. It is, in fact,.one of the finest practical appeals to human nature that has ever been made in this country. True, we, eleventh-hour soldiers, have got to learn to march and shoot, to say nothing of manoeuvring. But we are all learning these things, not twice as quickly, but twenty times as quickly as ordinary soldiers enlisting in peace times, because there is never a second in the drills and target practice they are not- straining every nerve to learn, which statement is amply borne ont by the high average secured under the instruction of the officer iu charge of musketry. One danger alone threatens our efficiency. As conditions become more normal, there may be a tendency to ignore (he new force as a normal force, and (he Government may treat it accordingly. It is therefore most earnestly desired Ihose who volunteered lo defend their country in a regular regiment, either at home or abroad, will meet wilh that recognition which is due lo Ihem. it was an unrehearsed, yel stirring moment, when the commanding officer asked Ihose men of the regiment in the making, who would be willing to go to the "front" lo step out. The response was magnificently electric; it showed 95 per cent, were ready for the call of country, Empire and King. The remaining 5 per cent, with wives and children will be ready to defend lo the last shot their hearths and homes. A splendid example to those who can slill find a space in Ihe ranks, and a splendid tribute to lhe manhood of Victorin. When the lads go inarching by. Ihose who cannot take action for real causes will shout Hurrah! Hurrah!! Hurrah!!! and lhc pavement cynic and craven coward will hide his head in verv shame.

Page Six THE WEEK Mining Notes DURING September, 1012 tons of zinc ore and concentrate was shipped from Slocan mines to the United States. The Kildare Mines, Ltd., has closed ils hydraulicking season on Slate Creek, Omineca. Just before the water supply for gravel-washing failed, rich ground was encountered and coarse gold obtained. The Ymir Miners' Union has at last declared "off" the so-called strike of miners at the Queen gold mine, Sheep Creek, Nelson mining division. For more than a year the Queen was worked despite the local union's opposition, and it won out in the end. Mr. Frank E. Lathe, chief chemist at the Granby Consolidated Co. 's smeltery laboratory at Grand Forks, Boundnry district, bus been appointed assistant professor of metallurgy at Toronto University. His chief, Prof. Geo. A. Guess, in the nineties was a practising ussayer in the Boundary. More than 10,000 tons of ore was received at the Consolidated M. and S. Co.'s smelting works at Trail during the week ended October 8. Of Ihal quantity 8,850 Ions was from the company's own mines; the remainder was custom ore. Mr. M. E. Purcell. of Rossland, superintendent of the Consolidated Co.'s Centre Star group of mines, has been elected a vice-president of the Canadian Mining Institute, vice, Mr. W. J. Stratlon, deceased. Mr. Thus. Graham, of Victoria, chief inspector of mines succeeds Mr. Purcell as a councillor of (he Institute. Hon. H, E. Young, Provincial Secretary, on his return from Atlin, last week, reported that he found placer gold mining conditions satisfactory on Atlin creeks, and that the results of the season's operations were slated to be good. Individual miners, as well as representatives of mining companies, continue to have undiminished faith in Atlin country as a profitable gold field. was nol thought honest to ask more. The people who are most welcome are I huso who bring their children (even in perambulators) and the men whose occupation or circumstances does not admit of smartness—in fact those to whom a cup of tea without luxuries is a very acceptable refreshment. Personal visits have been made by members of the Depot Committee, to all, or nearly all, the tea rooms which might reasonably be affected by this and the remark has always been forthcoming: "I am making no complaint, my custom is not affected," or 'You are not doing me any harm at present." The efforts of the ladies who are so generously giving their time to the work of the Depot is being rewarded, the number of men and girls wdio are glad to get "jobs" of mending, darning, knitting—dress and carpet repairing, etc., is increasing —so are the orders for the same— but more are wanted—for orders mean work and work means pay, and pay means food, and food means courage, and courage is a thing no one in the British Empire can afford to go without just now. -S.

Editor The Week, Sir,—The remarks in The Week of L'iilh Sept. with regard to the work of lhe Local Council of Women ul j their depot, 037 Fort Street, especially in connection with the opening of a Tea Room there, shows that complaints have been made by outsiders. Perhaps the facts of the case will modify lhe wholesale condemnation expressed. The lady who manages Ihe ten: room is one to whom few olher kinds of employment are possible. The tea Ihal is supplied is strictly len—not coffee or cocoa. Bread and butler—not toasted buns or buttered toast. Cake. No olher meals whatsoever are offered. The cake as far as possible, is bought from those who mnke it, nnd to whom the sale is a matter of importance. The lea room is part of the room in which other work is carried on.

TELEPHONE 41 THE WEEK Page Seven London Gossip Supplied Specially to The Week by the International News Correspondence Service, Ltd., Goschen Building, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, England. Redistribution of Austria-Hungary If It Is too early to plot out definite areas in the new map of Europe, It is not too early to assume that the loose congeries of people known as .Austria- Hungary will not maintain even tlie semblance of unity. Anyone who has travelled In Hungary knows the prime facts about the racial composition of Its populations which work constantly against any possibility of making a homogeneous race. Inquiries which 1 made during a stay in Hungary several years ago convinced me that the problem of how to keep Hungary .lust as it was was insoluble. Hungary Itself— the vast interior plain—is homogeneous enough. It has been inhabited by the Magyars for a thousand years. Round it is a fringe of peoples—Gal- Iclans, Roumanians, Kerbs, and other small nationalities—whicli have never been absorbed Into tlie Hungarian body politic. Tlie Magyars, who have an old constitution In many respects similar to ours—though it has never based itself firmly on a modern democratic franchise—hnve not heen able to conciliate these smaller nationalities. They have lived in a state of mutual irritation with them. The smaller nationalities naturally gravitated lu sympathy towards the free states nf their own race. To anybody who knows Hungary there is nothing surprising in the telegram wliich indicates that an annexation by Roumanla of adjoining Hungarian territory Is possible. So far as tlle inhabitants of the territory are concerned it would certainly be feasible. Mr. G. M. Trevelyan's plea for Servia is also worthy of notice. He points out that the corruption of the Servian Government has prejudiced us against the people and asserts—and here 1 am unable either to confirm or contradict his view—that one of Servia's objects Is the liberation of Hungarian Servians from the Magyar over-lordship. Certainly if tbe principle of nationality is to guide us when the time comes to make peace it should be possible to redistribute the races of Hungary among neighbouring states in such a way as to make a far more stable arrangement than the one which ls now breaking up. Marching Through "Balentir" On the whole there have not been a great many flagrant mis-spelling in the account of the battles In France. Most of tlie newspapers seem to have sufficiency large maps at band to be able to verify the place-names. The line "Vnrennes—Consenvoye-Ornes" w as, however, quite unintelligible in some evening papers which flrst printed It. The diary of a British private whHi appeared in a well-known paper this morning has an amusing error. "We marched," says the writer, "throng'' Ralontlr to Plerreponds." The latter place is clearly Plerrefonds, "Ralen- tir," Is, however, not likely to be found on any of the maps. It is a warning to motorists which Is often pointed in big letters on a signboard at the ent ranee to French villages. It is the Infinitive of a verb used as an Imperative, and means "slow down." Tht mistake reminds ono of the Englishman who noticed that "relache" appeared on lhc playbills nf the Paris opera house on a great many days in the month, nd told his friends that "relache" seemed to be the most popular opera ox the time. It is the word used at the Opera to signify that there ls no performance at all that particular day. There is also a story which may appropriately be recalled of a headline, Umbrage taken by the Zulus," which was amended to "Capture of Umbrage." Reduced Prices for Soldiers There are a great many ways In which soldiers can economise on their purchases if they choose their shops. Entertainments, travel, dentistry, and the rarer service of chiropody have long been cheapened for them. Now after some weeks of casual observation of shop windows one is almost driven to the conclusion that a soldier can marry, furnish a house, and live on abodt two-thirds the income necessary for civilians. That, of course, is an exception, but it is true that all sorts of trades are making special prices for soldiers. A jeweler announces a reduction in their favour on all articles which he sells, and many other tradesmen are making offers of the same kind. Even a second-hand bookseller will knock 10 per cent, off his prices for all soldiers and sailors in uniform (except Germans.)" In the end, however, It is scarcely likely that the economies wliich recruits can make will amount to much. One notices that the articles whicli they are most likely to buy are not usually among those which oie offered to them at reduced prices.
