The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review The Official Organ of the Victoria Real Estate Exchange M XIII, No. 8-13th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, July 17,1915 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year The German Note THE AMERICAN PRESS, with tbe exception of two or tluee Pro-German papers, is a unit in denouncing the German Note. They all agree in the view that it, evades the real point at issue, and evades it so clumsily as to offer by implication an insult to the intelligence of tbe American people, even if nn open insult, was not intended. The solo reason for sending tbe American Note wns the destruction of one hundred United States citizens by the sinking of the Lusitania. President Wilson asked specifically for a disavowal of this act by the German Government, and for practical guarantees that it would not be repeated. This gave an opening for the Imperial Government to express regret, to declare the act to have been in excess of its instructions or desire, to have offered such reparation as could be made, and to give a reasonable undertaking for tlie future protection of United Statos citizens travelling, as they have a right to travel, unmolested on the high seas, None of these opportunities hnve been accepted by Germany, a definite reply has been evaded, and instead a large portion of the note is taken up with an argument in justification of the Lusitania incident. Therefore, so far as the great International question of the rights of neutrals is concerned, the note ignores it entirely. Tbe justification offered for the sinking of the Lusitania is brutal to the verge of insult, and must be singularly distasteful to a great nation like the United States. Germany attempts to justify its action by blaming the British Government for the manner in which it has conducted its naval warfare, as if tbe conduct of Great Britain in this matter, even if it were what Germany alleges, could have any bearing on the obligations nf the latter power to a neutral nation. Such an argument would make the rights of neutrality dependent on the self restraint of a belligerent power, whicli means that neutrality would have no rights. Another feature of the Note, which is inexplicable, and which it is impossible for the American people to regard without feeling the strongest resentment is tbe renewed assumption that the Lusitania was armed. ..'Ii reiterate this after President Wilson had made the positive statement that it was untrue can have but, one interpretation. However, that interpretation may be wrapped up in diplomatic phraseology, it is tantamount to giving the President tlie ''lie direct." nnd yet while this paragraph was being penned it had already been proved in the New York Law Courts that the German spy who conveyed the information to his Imperial masters had sworn falsely. Another argument used in the Note, which must strike any reader as incomprehensible is the idea that Germany was justified in sinking the Lusitania, and incidentally, in the murdering of one hundred neutral citizens. "Otherwise thousands of eases of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies, and thereby thousands of German mothers and children robbed of bread winners." It is tbe same mental obliquity that, leads tbe German Government to say in another part of the Note, that if tbe Lusitania had not been sunk -he might have rammed and sunk the submarine. Of the appeal to tbe historical associations, and the traditional friendship of the Germans for the Americans it would be superfluous to speak. People must have short memories to forget that oven in tho life time of the present generation the continuance of that friendship lins more than once depended mi the intervention of Britain, but it is not surprising that a note so evasive and insincere should attempt to misread history and misrepresent its obvious teaching. There is. however, ono practical, though not practicable, paragraph in the Note, and if properly understood il must he regarded by tlie American people as the most contemptible section of a wholly contemptible communication. Indeed it has so been regarded by the press, which might, easily have characterized it in even stronger terms than have been employed. It, is the offer to regulate the movement of American vessel's and the travel of American citizens in merchiiiil vessels on the high seas. Germany proposes to increase the number ol' available steamers by installing in passenger service a reasonable number of neutral steamers under Ibe American flag, and in addition, to allow tbe American Government to place the American flag nn four enemy passenger steamers for passenger traffic between North America and England, such steamers to, bo made recognizable by special markings and the German Government to be notified a reasonable time in advance. "Tn addition, the. American Government will assume to guarantee that these vessels have nn contraband on board." Tn nther words this eminently practical proposal of which the Gorman Government is so enamoured means the extension nf a recognized war zone ncrnss the Atlantic tn the American shores. It means also Ihat the United States, a grent neutral power, will submit, the direction of its operations therein to tho German Government, a belligerent power which hns not a merchantman or war ship afloat in any part nf the world, outside of tho Baltic, an inland sea, nnd its own locked harbours. ^ The proposal is incomprehensible from a nation having any pretension to any ordinary intelligence, or any knowledge of affairs, or of diplomatic usage. The New York Herald calls it "stupid," another leading organ calls in "insolent," hut it is doubtful if il is not better described as "jejeune." The Note hns been long in coming, its general tenur is no surprise, for it is typically German, and it is consistent with the inconsistency which the diplomatic department of the Imperial Government has displayed ever since the outbreak of war. Its general purport nnd line of argument is too childish to be regarded ns a serious attempt either tn justify the sinking nf the Lusitania or tn propitiate the American people, President Wilson mav use more diplomatic language, but his reply can hardly refrain from sayhig.jjo, and while a declaration of war is out of the question for reasons which cannot be discussed at the moment, it is almost impossible to avoid the conclusion that no self- respecting government can tolerate the continuance of diplomatic relations after tbe receipt of such a note. The only possible answer whicli comports with the dignity of the great Republic, and the lnaintainance of its self respect is to hand passports to the German Ambassador. Trade Conditions in British Columbia THERE is no difference of opinion among our leading financial and trade magnates that the business outlook of British Columbia is improving. This is not to argue in favor of a blind optimism, but it is to bespeak careful consideration of a few salient features which lead to no other logical conclusion than that the outlook is hopeful. The first important factor is that we have by this time come to realize that the war is not entirely responsible for present conditions. Trade depression began a year before the outbreak of war, and was admittedly due to a natural reaction from the speculation of a boom period. No doubt war complicated the conditions of trade, hut the necessity for enforcing economy which led to the abandonment of contemplated improvements, and the cutting down of appropriations for public works, had much more to do with bringing about the present quietude. In British Columbia the worst effects of the war commercially have been experienced by the lumbering industry. The demand for building material from the Prairie Provinces fell off sharply on the outbreak nf hostilities and has not yet recovered. The abnormal activity of our American cousins, who appear to have coralled the bulk of the foreign trade, as well as making inroads in our domestic market, has been another weighty factor in reducing the profits of the local industry to an inconsiderable amount. Thanks, however, to the activity of the Provincial Government, and the co-operation of the Trade and Commerce Department of the Federal Goernment, extensive markets for British Columbia lumber have been opened abroad, and once the shortage nf bottoms for transportation has been removed there is no reason to doubt, that trade will rapidly revive. It is a matter of common knowledge that stocks of lumber all over the world badly need replenishing, and this fact, together with the confidence engendered by the harvesting nf a gnod crop should lead not only tn a marked expansion nf trade in the markets nf Great Britain, Australia, the West Indies mid Smith Africa, but also a return to the former activities of building in tbe Prairie Provinces. Not, the least important fnctnr in a general trade revival will lie a substantial development in agricultural production. Official reports indicate large increases in land clearing and in the areas devoted to crops of all kinds. There has been a notable increase in dairying, and in truck fanning, and owing to a spread of the principle of co-operation the selling organization has been increased. The result is as shown by the Customs returns, that British Columbia produce is displacing imports from the United States. .Last, but by no means least, unskilled labour at low prices is plentiful, and extensive schemes for hind cultivation by the 'unemployed" are under way. Comparatively litte grain will be imported from the Prairie Provinces this year on account of the larger area sown. The dream of the "simple life" and "back to the land" is probably nearer tn realization than many penple think, for there is a marked tendency nn the part of city people to exchange town properties for farm laud. Incidentally it should not lie forgotten that if this movement continues, and if the other general developments outlined above materialize, increased production will go a long way to solve tho most important problem with which the Province has to contend, that of making its railway systems profitable. Amid much criticism directed to the delay in completing the Canadian Northern and the P. G. E., it is easy to lose sight of the fact, that a quick turn of the wheel uf fortune may soon land these enterprises in the profit earning nnd dividend paying stage, all that is needed is patience and energy intelligently directed. An English Gentleman THE LATE Dr. Arthur I'allaut, whose recent death was such u shock to the community, although not widely known in British Columbia, was greatly appreciated hy a small circle nf devoted friends. Ho was a man of singularly winning manners, and kindly disposition; indeed his unfortunate end, so sudden and shucking, came while he was engaged in an errand nf kindness fur a friend. There are not many men in British Columbia who have had such a varied and striking career. Up to six years ago he was one nf the most renowned specialists in Harley Street, London, where lie enjoyed a large practice, from which he had amassed a fortune. On the advice of his physician he. turned his practice over to his son and decided to lake a much needed rest and n world tour. He gravitated to Victoria, which appealed to his artistic nature, and led him first to local residence, and then to very heavy investments in town and country property. Thinking that farming life would be beneficial, he bought a tract of land in Queen Charlotte Islands, and settled dnwn to clearing and cultivating it. After two years he tired somewhat nf the solitude, and his health having greatly improved, he came to Victoria and built the palatial Hampton Court Apartment House, where he occupied a suite of rooms until his death. So far he had been true to the test instincts of an English gentleman of means in contributing of his intelligence and wealth tn the development nf Greater Britain beyond the sens; and perhaps the saddest, feature of bis sudden and unexpected passing is that only a few days before his death he had decided to return to London and resume bis practice, in order that his son, who had succeeded him, might go to the front. Dr. Palhint will be missed here by all who were privileged to know him, and all the more because he represented a type of sojourner in our midst all too rare; one who revived fur snnie of ns the traditions of London Town, and one who perpetuated the finest characteristics of the English professional man. A Tour in the Trenches EVERYBODY knows of Ben. Tillett. Twenty years ago he was one of the most prominent labour leaders in London, and in view of the subject matter of this article it may not be uninteresting to know that he was a popular Methodist preacher. Today he is recognized as one of the most capable laliour leaders in England, and one of the most effective recruiters for the war. In order that he might have more influence with the working men, he wns recently permitted to make a tour of the trenches, and tn mix freely with the British and Colonial troops. The first thing that struck him was that all the way from Boulogne to Paris he did not see any men under the age of forty-vve who were not in uniform. Old men, boys under seventeen, women and children were doing all the work in tho fields nnd elsewhere. Mr. Tillett considers that the one thing that matters now is to keep our soldiers in cheerful spirits, and in this connection The AVeek lias pleasure in quoting verbatim a paragraph from his report, and commending it to the special attention of his co-religioniste in Victoria; I spent considerable time in the trenches with the Canadians, who have home the brunt of tlie lighting against tremendous odds. When it was explained that it any one of their number had complaints to make I would forward them to the proper quarter, out of fully 300 men only one passed comment. But he did not complain of the manner in which the Canadians were treated by Mile military authorities; no, all they wanted, he said, was a "tot" of rum oftener. They had been in the trenches Ave days, nnd had only had one "tot." As a consequence, the. Canadians appealed through me In Britain not to 'he a nation of faddists, of teetotalers, but to sink prejudices and to agree with everything that,can be done to brighten this lives of those who arc fighting. Attention Is Needed AN 01.1) Victoria resilient who has been absent from the City for many years recently returned for a visit, nnd has favored The Week with a lengthy letter on the condition of Ross Bay Cemetery. The complaint is that the cemetery is in a disgraceful condition, that it is overgrown with weeds, that the grass is allowed to grow too long, that there nre nol sufficient receptacles for dead flowers; papers, etc., and that those ihat nre provided are not emptied regularly. There is truth in all these complaints, but it is not a fact that they fairly represent the general condition nf the cemetery. Some portions are admirably attended tn, notably a large flat in the southwest corner) recently levelled, but apart from this the condition is far from satisfactory. This is, no doubt, due to the fact that the Cemetery Committee has not assumed the responsibility of keeping the purchased plots in order, but on the ground of common decency they should do so. Tt may me true that the price charged for the pints did not include any assessment for maintainance, but The Week strongly urges the Committee to assume the responsibility all the same. The cost of general upkeep would not be materially greater than that uf caring for a number of isolated patches, and then again, from the standpoint of public appreciation, the benefit would far out-weigh the cost. 'The cemetery has teen greatly improved by the shore drive, with its effective parapet, and grassy slopes, also by lhe layout of the southwest corner. If the Committee could see ils way In assume the responsibility for the nther portions nf the property, it would on every ground be n public advantage. If judicious pressure is needed The Week suggests Ihat it is a matter nf public utility which the Women's Council could well take up. Bishop Scriven IN ELECTING the Venerable Archdeacon Scriven to the high office of Bishop nf Columbia, the Synod has at the same time interpreted the wishes of their constituents, and rendered an important service to the Anglican Church. Bishop Scriven is an emeinent divine, a gentleman and n scholar; In these high qualifications he adds lhe experience nf thirty years service in the Diocese. During that time he has filled many positions with credit tn himself and advantage to the Anglican Church and the community generally. His name is a household word, he has endeared himself to thousands of people by his kindly, charitable and unostentatious life to a degree which ninny men nf more spectacular qualities might envy. Bishop Scriven did not seek promotion at the hands of his fellow churchmen, lhe dignity was proffered, mid the spirit in which it has been accepted, as evinced in the few simple words in which the Bishop-Elect addressed the Synod, is the besl demonstration of his filncss, and the test augury for his success. No reference to Bishop Scriven would be complete without mention of his devoted wife, who literally goes about doing gnod. and who fully shares lhe affect inn in which her husband is held from one end of the Diocese nf Columbia tn the nther.

Am The Recent Figfctinff An officer's impressions of tlie recent fighting in Betgiuin and to the north of Arras which I heard recently give an interesting glimpse into tiie conditions and dally Incidents of tlie struggle. One tiling which lias been noticed is the careful selection of target which the German gunners seem to make. This, I am Informed, is now un- ually more noticeable than the intensity of their fire. Some of the particular stories about shells falling near the General Headquarters are not true, but it is true that the German gunners systematically search behind the Hues for this particularly attractive target. Another point which may justly be emphasized is the credit which tlie Canadians have won with the rest of the army. They have proved themselves hard and reckless lighters on a soldiers' estimate, and there is nothing perfunctory In the official praises which have heen showered on them. There is also, it may bo added, a general admiration of the skill with which the French conducted their recent operations north of Coast ' Arras. Their fine dash has displayed stenmei' the traditional French qualities in offensive, and their leading in these operations lias been very good. It is interesting to know, by tho way, that the French troops against which the Ger- vrimi«n1 Vul mans first used gas were colored troops, possibly chosen by the enemy as likely to be more susceptible to the she surrendered lo one first alarm and surprise of this use of W(U. ships. tlio extraordinary weapon.

He returned to Italy for tho unveiling of tho Quarto monument after a voluntary exile of some years In Paris, where he lived In an old house In the heart of one of tlie poorest districts. He saw hardly anybody, aivl was charmed with the solitude, the sllr.ne. till sound of tlie bells In the distance, the narrow streets with Italian names. From the moment he set foot on Italian soil he became tbe father of the people. Every word be said has been treasured, lf a politician had said that tho rights of Italy were being bartered tho phrase mlglil hnve been easily put down as a not particularly original attack of a partisan against the men of another party. When D'AnnunzIo said it the people adopted It as their watchword, and Giolltti became Signor "Pnreochlo" (Mr. "Much"), In reference to the opinion expressed some time ago that Gibson, Mrs. I' Italy ought to get "much" out of the Harriet Baxter present war Without actually taking part In it. Not even Slgnor Salnndra hns been listened to with greater olg erness and reverence than D'Annuzto and It is certain that no politician could move thp people as D'AnnunzIo did. His information, moreover, proved unimpeachable. Days ago ho declared that tbe Triple Alliance had bee' denounced by Italy, n fact which was only mnde public on May 21st. It is known thnt tlie greatest wish of the poet is to bo attached to an Italian man-of-war. and perhaps to emulate Talllefer and bo the first to give his life for his country. Duke of the Abruzzl The Duke of tbe Abruzzl, who will, it Is said, take command of tho Italian ),eeoiu( Ueet In the event of Italy declaring for Intervention In the war, was for a time very prominent in British yachting. In the early nineties of last century ho was frequently to bo seen at tho regattas of the leading Thames and Solent Clubs, and eventually ho ordered the racing cutter Bonn, which was built at Meadowslde for him from designs by tbe late George Lennox Watson. He was very popular In English yachting circles, and made a point of playing the game In the British spirit.
