The Week B British Columbia Newspaper and Review The Official Organ ot the Victoria Real Estate Exchange and of the Royal Victoria Vacht Club Vol. XIII, No. 1^—14th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, October 2,1915 5c. a copy $2.00 a year Progress of the War APICTUEE of tho grunt war, which absorbs our every thought and shackles our every interest, would be kaleidoscopic. During the fourteen months which have elapsed since its outbreak the changes which have alternately depressed and enervated our spirits have been both numerous and momentous. The peak of our optimism was reached at Mons, at the Marne, at Neuve Chapelle and Festubert in tlie AVest; at the centre of East Prussia, nt the environs of Cracow and at the Carpathian passes in the East; and in the Naval engagements in the North. Sea and off the Falkland Islands whieh mainly characterize the spectacular victories of the British Navy. To these mny be added other incidents of the war which perhaps we may not set in their true perspective, but which were accountable for an elation of spirits whieh tided us over many gloomy days. To this second category may be assigned our repeated victories over tho Turkish armies in Asin Minor, the brilliant feats of our submarines in the Sea of Marmora, and the marvellous success which has attended the efforts of the Admiralty to subdue tho submarine menace. It is well to recount these momentous events, been use in the flush of our recent great victory wc are apt to lose sight of them, nnd to talk ns if the Allies had just achieved the first real victory of tbe war. It would be far more correct to say that the ningnificiont performances of our troops on the West frontier whieh hnve sent a thrill of joy throughout the Empire, are the culmination of mnny events of the yenr which have transcended anything achieved in nncient or modern warfare, Tho stupendous proportion of nil tlie operations of the present wnr baffle our comprehension, and it will be years nfter its close before we shall be able to appraise its vnrious incidents with any regard to their true relation. Many a time during the past year we have asked ourselves, "When is the grent offensive on the Western front to begin ?" nnd even now we nre asking ourselves, "Hns tbe great offensive begun V Three months ago in reviewing the war "The AVeek" staled that it hud the highest authority for anticipating thnt by the end of September tbe AVestern offensive would be in full swing, nnd at about the snnie time the final nssnult on the Dardanelles would be made. This wns no guess work on tbe part of the British officer who conveyed his impressions to The Week. Tho prediction was based upon a perfect knowledge of the preparations being made, of the ability of the Munitions Department to overtake the demand for every kind of ammunition and gnu, nnd to accumulate such reserves as would enable the Allies to continue the offensive once it wns begun. It wns nlso based upon personal knowledge of the intention of the British and French Governments to assume such decisive action as soon ns they were ready. Any one who has followed tho speeches of Lord Kitchener, of Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George during the last, few months must have known that they expected to bo ready in September. The approximation of the occurrence to their expectation shows how accurately they calculated their forecast. People near the heart of things are no longer asking, "Is this the great offensive?". They know that it is, nnd while, as always, the leading English papers advise patience and caution, they have every confidence that the offensive will develop dny by day, and will know no abatement, not even for a single hour, until the objective has been reached. Tlie present objective is the Rhine. The details of the historic engagement of the past week arc only reaching us bit, by bit. At the moment of writing the outstanding fact is that two lines of the German trenches have been taken at tlie point selected for attack. This has been achieved ns the result of literally blasting and breaking up the surface over an nrea of fifty square miles, by the concentrated fire of five hundred guns of the largest calibre ever employed in war. When the remaining trenches in the rear have been captured it, will be possible for the Allies to establish a new salient, probably not less than thirty miles in length from North to South, from which flanking movements can bo launched right and left. Whenever this stage is reached, and a few weeks should suffice, the German armies from the Champagne country to at least tho Belgian frontier will be compelled.to retire, and this will bo the first instalment of a general retreat. Interest centres on the possible action of Ihe British authorities along thnt portion of the Belgian const line still occupied by the Allies. The vigorous bombnrdnient of the Belgian bases Northeast, of this point lends color to the conjecture thnt it mny be intended to laud British troops on the Bel- ginn Coast in an endeavour to outflank the extreme right wing of tbe Germany army. On this point nothing more can be said. Turning to the Eastern frontier, the rebound of the Russian armies hns become more pronounced. To the South they have continued to drive the Austrian forces back. They hnve got the Germnn nrmy, under Gen. Mnckenzen, in trouble in the Pripet Marshes, nnd with the single exception of the region around Dvinsk they have asserted their superiority. Just how far they will attempt to push a general offensive at the present time cannot even be conjectured, but one thing has been determined by the actions of the Inst fortnight, viz.: that when Lord Kitchener said that the Germans had "shot their bolt", ho knew what be wns talking about a great deal better than his critics. In the East there are two interesting problems to bo solved. The first is tho attitude of Bulgaria, and the second the mission of the Grand Duke Nicholas. With respect to the former the repented anticipations of "the AA'cek" that Bulgaria would never be found in this war on the side of the Central Powers looks to be a safer prediction every day. The brilliant and significant speech of Sir Edward Grey in the House of Commons on Monday last mny well be taken to indicate the probabilities. The traditional friendship of Great Britain still counts for something nnd Sir Edward Grey's reminder is not likely to be overlooked by so astute a diplo mat as the Czar Ferdinand. AVhen the Grand Duke Nicholas retired from the Northern commnnd, his removal was attributed variously to ill health, to Court intrigue and to military failures. "The AVeek" was in receipt of information which rendered all these suggestions ridiculous. Tbe splendid encomium passed on the Grand Duke by Lord Kitchener, shortly nfter his removal, wns more thnn significant, and discounted all the rumours which wer.1 afloat. Public opinion is veering round, and it is no mere guess that his removal was dictated by high State reasons of a strategic character. The Grand Duke is likely to be heard of again, and before many days. MEN WANTED "A Little Child Shall Lead Them." The Week's recruiting poster, suggested by an incident which occurred at the Willows during the recent visit of H.R.H the Duke of Connaught The Submarine Enquiry AS THE WEEK goes to press the submarine enquiry is still under way, and the principal witnesses have yet to he called. At the opening of the Court, the Commissioner made it perfectly clear tbnt it wns no business of his to furnish opportunity for the making of political capital, or the obscuring of the issue which is to ascertain the truth nhout the purchase nf the submarines. The truth is being ascertained, and i.s being placed on record in n very emphatic manner. During one short session all the rumours with which the Liberal press has regaled the public, affecting the character and calibre of the submarines has been dissipated. Nothing could bo clearer or more convincing thnn the evidence of Commander Jones, IJ.M. This British officer passed upon the submarines at. the time of their purchase, lie has hud charge of them ever since, and declares that neither id' them has ever developed u fault of construction or design, lie declares thnt beyond slight repairs to some valves, due to careless oversight when they were being plan ed, nothing bus been required lo be done except tbe repair of ordinary wear and tear. The submarines have been on duty ever since August. 11)14. They are fit to go into active service, and their range and fighting capacity is iu every respect equal to tliat of similar boats in the Brilish Navy. Il would bo premature Id anticipate the evidence of witnesses yet to be called, Inn it is gratifying to be able to report that the enquiry has opened so auspiciously for the Province, and Ihat the rumours affecting lhe value nnd utility of the submarines as fighting machines is absolutely without foundation. Alcohol in Relation to Lite IT IS it popular belief that alcohol is a substance foreign to the animal economy, and can be introduced into the animal body only through the instrumentality of man. This is n fallacy, for alcohol is found widely distributed throughout nature, though nlways in association with living cells. Professor Stokluzn, of Prague, has given us convincing proof that tbe muscles of the higher animals, including man, contain ferments which oxidise sugar, or glycogen into alcohol. By experiment it hns been determined that from fresh muscle a ferment can be extracted which converts sugar into alcohol. If it is further remembered that products of digestion nre in reality products of fermentation, then alcohol is but a singe in the digestion of sugar. Professor W. E. Dixon, lecturer in pharmacology, nt Cambridge University, hns contributed n learned article to the Ninleenth Century in which he endorses and elaborates Ibis fact, nnd ns the result of his investigation he makes the dogmntic statement thnt "It may now be regarded ns nn established fact that fresh animal tissues and organs contain truces of alcohol." The bite M. Duelaux, the successor to Pasteur as director of the well known institute in Paris, confirmed the fact thnt the Bacillus Coli Communis, an organism living normally in the ailimentary canal, when allowed to grow on sugar, gives rise to from 0 to 17 per cent, of alcohol, and as alcohol is one of the most easily absorbed substances known, it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that this alcohol passes into tbe system. If, as this evidence clearly shows, alcohol is a primary product in the animal body, and not an accidental by-product, then it will be expected that alcohol taken by the mouth in moderation should behave in every way like such ordinary carbohydrates as starch and sugar. Fortunately science is now in a position to give a definite answer to this question for it has been shown that within certain limits alcohol can be substituted for stnrch or sugar without in any way altering the ordinary metabolism of the body. This has been proved for alcohol, but for no other chemical substance. The most complete and by far the most reliable experiments dealing with the metabolism of alcohol nre those that were conducted by Dr. Atwater and Dr. Benedict in the United States, for the committee chosen for the purpose of studying the role of drinks containing alcohol. The results of their experiments clearly show that alcohol taken to the extent of six ounces of whiskey a day in six separate doses was ixidised in the body ns completely as ordinary food materials. Ninety-eight per cent, was burnt and loss than two per cent, escaped oxidation. Alcohol was not burnt more rapidly than starch or sugar, nor was there any other condition to suggest that its employment ns food substance wns different from ordinary nutrients. In eaeh of the experiments tbe alcohol was a source of heat to the body just in the same way ns stnrch or sugnr. AVitb respect to the popular delusion that the heat engendered by alcohol passes away quickly and a reaction sets in, Dr. Atwater says that the heat given off from the body with an ordinary diet is 2946 calories, nnd with an alcohol died 2049 calories, so that the results are the same, since the fractional difference comes well within the limits of experimental error. Summarizing this conclusion, Dr. Atwater says: "Alcohol up to two and one half ounces, which is equal to six ounces of whiskey, can be substituted in a diet for equivalent quantities of starch, sugnr or fat without noticeable change. Tn other words, alcohol is a sparer of fat nnd carbo-hydrates in the animal economy. Further, it wns doubted for mnny yenrs whether alcohol has the power to protect the body protein. Dr. Rosemnnn wns for yenrs the lending exponent id' the clnim that alcohol did not protect protein, but recently in an exhaustive review of the whole subject, and nfter further experiments he informs us thnt in his opinion the protecting power id' alcohol is established. From these fncts it will be evident thnt most of our views on the use of alcohol as a food have changed in the last twenty-five years. It was once asserted that alcohol was not burnt, but left the body unchanged; later it was burnt, but burnt immediately like a wet squib, and much too rapidly to be of nny renl service to the body; then thnt it did not supply the body with heat because the liberated energy was lost by radiation. It was also stated that alcohol had no power to economize the body's, fats and proteins. All these assertions whicli were formerly accepted nre now completely disproved. While then, on the one hand these experiments afford no evidence that alcohol is a necessity for the average man, on the oilier hnnd Ihey destroy the oft reiterated claim thnt it is n poison. Of course nil these deductions are based on the assumption of a moderate dose, nnd not of excessive use. But when it is established thnt six ounces n dny of whiskey is "moderate", it would seem us if the reasonable requirements of the average man are met. The standard established by many of the largest insurance companies iu the Slates, on the advise of Dr. Anslie, is one and one half ounces of alcohol a day, which would be the equivalent of about four ounces of whiskey, two or three wine glasses of sherry or port. ;i pint boltle id' claret or ebniu- piigne, or from four lo six tumblers full of beer. Il is nol intended lo argue that alcohol is n necessity for a heal thy man, but neither nre many tilings whieh he lakes in the shape of food. On the other hand, when nleolml is taken iu such moderation as is above defined injurious effects have yel to be proved. The ridiculous clnim mnde by n Prohibition speaker in Victoria only u few weeks ago that tho medical fraternity as n whole were now clnssing alcohol as "poison" nnd not as "food" is without tho shadow of foundation. No recognized authority on pharmacology would endorse the statement, nnd the highest, Prof. Dixon, of Cambridge, bus disproved it. The use of alcohol in sickness is still invaluable. In it we have n typo of food substance which is very rapidly absorbed into the circulation, and which requires no preliminary digestion. Il is easily oxidised in the tissues, finis affording a valuable source of energy. The cause of temperance we all have at heart, and only differ from one another as to the best menus of obtaining our ends. Dr. Duelaux is so impressed with the scientific evidence thnt he supports the savants who declare that alcohol is n food surpassing stnrch and sugar in ale- mentary value. At the other extreme there is a section of total abstainers who clnim that it is n poison under nil circumstances, and thnt its use. even in u moderate form, is injurious to the temperance cause. To the thoughtful man desirous of knowing the truth nnd of becoming acquainted with the findings of the highest scientific authorities The Week commends the careful consideration of the views of the eminent scientists whose opinions are outlined above.

SK That from the States conies the news of n wonderful surgical magnet which extracts metal from flesh, but we have some smart company promoters on this side too. * That a contemporary has the following headline: "The Submarine Lesson, "—quite right, they do. * That the suggestion that the British Censor write a history of the war is a good one, if he can remember what he has cut out. That the 671b has established a record in quick recruiting, nnd has recruited a sturdy, capable bunch of men.

That it is the intention of the committee thnt every pupil must enlist before be is allowed to take lessons. * That the climate of Victoria renders it the most suitable place in Canada for aviation. * That there is no reason why our city should not become the head quarters of this important branch of the Service in Canada. That the object of the Liberal party in trying to force Mr. S. S. Taylor into the submarine investigation has been widely misunderstood. That it wns not in the hope of enlisting nny damaging fuels, but in the hope Unit he might be able to defend his party for unsportsmanlike conduct. * That by this lime it is realized thnt it is not the Premier, but his detractors who arc on their trial. That the Army Purchase Department is still milking eggregious blunders in Victoria, notably in connection with motor trucks. That one recent transaction of this kind is enough to mnko any business man "tired." * That every one should make a point of seeing the Australian Cadets and Iheir brilliant dramatic performance. r£ That all who saw them a few yenrs agn will remember their smartness and exceptional ability. Thnt there is a little too much "red tape" about some of lhe Chapters of the I. 0. D. E., nnd it could well be dispensed with these critical times. Thnt Hornet, hns received several complaints about the quality of the tobacco supplied to our soldiers nt tbe front by tlie Overseas Tobacco Fund. ■ Tliul the local Secretary of the Fund would do well to look into the matter with a view to changing the "brand," if it is not ncceptnble. Thnt lhe mid-week mnrket is receiving poor support from the public and the stall holders. That it almost lonks as if lhe demand hnd overtaken the supply. Thnt the wave of economy so rigidly practised in England nt Ihe present time bus evidently not reached Victorin. * That it almost staggers one to know that in two dnys unci ion snle more than Ihrce thousand dollars was pnid out for "Oriental" carpets. That it would he interesting to calculate how many hungry children this sum would feed, or how mnny cotn- forls it would purchase for the men at the Front. Thnt there is some excuse for believing that in Victoria "Oriental" carpets are not a luxury, but a necessity. That despite New Zealand's policy of Prohibition, a thousand more persons were arrested there for drunkenness lhis year thnn last. ?A That people who are interested in "Physic Phenomena" nnd the "Occult" enn purchase the popular works of our correspondent, Mr. J.

That this snme victory hns caused a strong desire on the part of all at the Willows to get away quickly, so as not to miss ihe fun. That it certainly was a wonderful march down town on Tuesday "considering all things." * That a draft of 250 Western Scots with live officers is leaving for England. On dit, tbnt the only fear these "draughts of Scotch" know, is the fenr of Prohibition! * That the grizzly cubs will soou become more thnn n nuisance. * That a huge crowd is expected today at the Willows for the Independent Squadron of B.
