TheWeek A British Columbia Newspaper aid Review The Official Organ of the Victoria Real Estate Exchange and of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club VoL XIV, No. ll-15th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, August 26, 1916 5c. a copy $2.00 a year Unfair Criticism THE Victoria Times criticized Mr. Reginald Hayward, one of the Conservative candidates, very unfairly in its issue of i Tuesday last. At a meeting held on Monday night Mr. Hay- i ward had referred to the extravagant claims of tho Liberal Leaders in respect of their avowed desires to abolish patronage. Mr. Hayward showed that their record as a party did not justify any such I claim. He referred to the well-known incident that occurred at Ottawa during the last session of Parliament, when Mr. Foster on 1 the floor of the House offered to meet the Opposition half way in a joint attempt to abolish political patronage, but elicited no response whatever from Sir Wilfred Lnurier, who kept his seat and ignored the offer. While the Times does not deny this statement, because it knows full well that Hansard proves it, it nevertheless tries to make out that something different really occurred. It would confuse the issue by stating that the debate was initiated not by Mr. Foster, but by Mr. W. F. MacLean, and that Mr. Foster moved no resolution on the subject. Mr. Hayward never said that he did, nor did Mr. Hayward claim that he initiated the debate. His statement was confined to the simple fact that the responsible Minister, who in the absence of Mr. Borden was acting Premier, made that offer openly on the floor of the House. He addressed the offer pointedly to Sir Wilfred Lnurier, the Lender of tbe Opposition. Silence in such a case meant rejection. By accepting the offer, Sir Wilfred could have co-operated in a work which, if the Liberal Party had sincerely desired to nbolish pntronnge, would hnve insured the fulfillment of their desires. The Times, while trying to misrepresent this incident, forgot whnt occurred in Vic- 1 torin three yenrs ngo, before the Roynl Commission sitting on re- I (distribution. On that oecnsion the Liberal Party was represented oy the late Mr. Duncan Ross, who in reply to a question from Mr. sTustico Morrison, stated that he was not opposing patronage as a system, because he recognized that both parties must exercise it. His protest was against its abuse. The record of the Liberal Party i doe not show thnt it possesses any monopoly of the desire to abolish patronage, indeed it shows that whenever a. "bona fide" attempt has been made in that direction the Party Leaders have conveniently "passed by on the other side." It is true as stated by The Times that in 1908 Sir Wilfred Laurier passed his Civil Service Act. This was done with tho full approval and support of the Conservative Pnrty. It was to nil intents nnd purposes a non-contentious measure, at nny rate as far as the principle involved was concerned. But it only applied to the inside service, and even then was not strictly enforced by the Liberal Government, except in the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa. The Times says that if the Liberals had remained in power they would have extended it to the outside service, which is the real field for the exploiting of bribery, corruption and graft. It is easy to say this now, but if tliere is any probability in the suggestion, why did not Sir Wilfred accept the offer of Mr. Foster last Session ? The fact of the matter is that it is simply nn Election cry, designed for political effect. The abuses of patronage are obvious to all men. They are common to both parties. The Liberals cannot for a moment claim any monopoly of virtue in this respect, and all mpii who are not blinded by political partizanship, will assess their newly awakened zeal for reform at its true value. A Modern Cave Dweller THOUSANDS of years ago a subject of King Saul gathered around him in the Cave of Adullam "Everyone that was in distress, and everyone that was in debt, and everyone that was discontented, and he became a captain over them, and there were with him about four hundred men." He was a subject of King Saul, to whom he owed allegiance, as did the discontented ones who rallied around him. In 1896 a political subject of King McKenzie Bowell gathered around him the discontented ones of the Federal Cabinet in a determined plot to dethrone their leader. Not being endowed with the high sense of honour that restrained David in the Cave of Adullam, they pressed their advantage, and succeeded in their scheme. Sir MacKenzie was dethroned. But like most ill-gotten gains, the triumph was brief. The people of Canada coined n very ugly phrase to designate the mutineers, it actually branded them "a nest of traitors." Inside of a few months they had shot their bolt. The new dynasty which they had established came to an ond, and for twenty years the "nest of traitors," with one single exception, has been like the bird cast out of the Ark, which could find no rest for the sole of its feet. There has been no place for them in the ranks of the Conservative Party; there has been no place for them in the Council of their country or the Empire. The solitary exception, being the most brilliant man of them all, has only succeeded in winning his way back through "much tribulation" and by the manifestation of unquestioned loyalty and devotion to his Party. Another member of the "nest of traitors," having pursued nn exnetly opposite course, is still fluttering aimlessly over the wnste of waters which were brought down by the political flood of 1897. Discarded by the Enstern Constituency with which the fnmily nnme had been nssocinted for hnlf a century, unsuccessful in forming a cabal to oust his rival from Provincial politics, he has for thirteen years taken advnntnge of every opportunity to knife his Lender nnd injure a party to which he still ■ .professes to belong. His antagonism began to manifest itself in I tfie first yenr of Conservntive Government in B. O, and before the | McBride administration had fairly got into the saddle, or had done anything good, bad or indifferent. This hardly justifies the claim that the attitude of the Mutineer wns due to n feeling of virtuous indignntion ngninst the misdoings of the Government, During the whole of the thirteen years of the various McBride administrations he has preserved the same attitude. On no single occasion hns he found anything to commend in the policy of tho Government. On no single occasion has he stood on a public platform to support a Government or the Conservative Party. On many occasions he- has taken the platform to denounce them. The hatred whicli he exhibited towards Premier McBride for thirteen years has passed to Premier Bowser and there is no reason to doubt, in fact it is a logical conclusion, that it would pass to any other Conservative Leader of the Provincial Government with possibly one exception. He has now mounted the Liberal platform and surrounded by leaders of the Liberal Party and Liberal candidates, is fulminating against a Conservative Government that has only been in office eight months, which during that time is not charged with having committed any "faux pas;" which is only criticized for the sins of its predecessors, nnd which in its only legislative session has placed upon the Statute Books at least half a dozen good measures, the principle of which neither the Liberal Leaders nor their borrowed cavalier dare attack. The Week is not going to question any man's motives. The public is quite able to draw its own conclusions from tho known facts. They turned out in goodly numbers to hear this errant knight in the old Victoria Theatre last Monday, they turned out 23 strong at Sidney the following night; they came forth in the astounding numbers of 100 in a city like North Vancouver with 12,000 registered inhabitants, the night after. Curiosity is satisfied. The Conservative Party and the Bowser administration may have a thousand faults, but the man to convince the public of their enormity is not the man with a political record which has kept him at Coventry for twenty years, and who is only saved from a criticism which would be crushing because Canada is still willing to honour the old Roman motto, "De mortuis nil nisi bonnm." British Sailors' Relief Fund IT is time that Canada did something for the British Sailors' Relief Fund. Eastern Canada has organized the project under the patronage of II. R. H, The Duke of Connaught, and the matter was introduced to Victoria audiences on Monday last by Mr. M. P. Fennell of Montreal, the Honorary Secretary. The Fund is established to show, to a small extent, the appreciation of Canada for the work of the British Navy, as well as the seamen of the Merchant Ships. It is not easy to realize the immensity of the task which they have undertaken and so well discharged. No matter in whatever enpacity, whether serving in the Fleet, on transport service, mine sweepers, patrol duties, or merchant ships, they have performed their duties in a manner that has aroused the admiration of the whole world. Without their services and devotion, Canada would have been at the mercy of a relentless enemy. Her trade and commerce would have been ruined, and her people for generations required to pay tribute and feel the result of domination, if not in still greater degree a servitude impossible to describe. A strong representative committee has been formed. It has already met once, and will convene, it is hoped in large numbers, in the Board of Trade Rooms on Monday next at 11 o'clock. The Week strongly urges thnt every member of the Committee should be present, in order thnt Victorin and Vancouver Island may line up in a project of the utmost importance, which undoubtedly has special claims on the Province by the Sea. The Navy League THE First Canadian Branch of the Nnvy Lengue wns formed in British Columbia, as a matter of fact in Victoria. The parent Society recognizes this branch as the pioneer of the movement, and expects it to live up to its reputation. A few years ago when the various branches of the Province were federated its scope of action was enlarged. An opportunity now offers to prove that its usefulness was similnrly extended. In any work having for its object the recognition of the services of the Navy, it is the obvious duty of the Navy League to take an important part. The meeting of the General Committee of the British Sailors' Relief Fund on Monday will determine just what that part should be. It mny not, be out of place, by way of stimulating the people of British Columbia who have done so nobly for the soldiers to do something for the Bailors, to point out that a letter hns just been received from the President of tho New Zealand Navy League, stating that since the Bnttle of Jutland New Zealand hns raised and forwarded to the parent Society in London more than $250,000 for this Fund, and the work is still going on. Not a little of the success of the Xew Zenlnnd Fund is due to the hearty co-operation of the women. British Columbia takes no "back seat" to any country in this respect, and oven before the meeting of the General Committee on Monday, the Nnvy League Chapter of the I. O. D. E. has promised its hearty co-operation. The Week sincerely hopes that a splendid opportunity for the practical display of patriotism may result not only in raising a large fund, but in reviving public interest in the Navy League, and in greatly increasing its membership. In this connection it has pleasure in announcing that the newly-appointed Secretary, the Rev. F. A. P. Chadwick, St. John's Rector, will be glad to enrol members. Applications for membership should be accompanied by the first annual subscription of $2. Soldiers' Votes IT is probably not much use asking Mr. Brewster, as Lender of the Liberal Party, to answer a question. Like tho Victoria Times he is an adept at asking questions, but like that veracious organ, is extremely shy when it conies to answering. Tn view, however, of his repeated denunciation of the Government in connection with the taking of Soldiers' Votes, The Week would like to know what he is really driving nt. There is not the lenst doubt thnt nt henrt he is strongly opposed to tho Soldiers voting nt all. but is not brave enough to say so. It would lie altogether too unpopular a step, if he were to come out flatly in favour of depriving them of tho Franchise. Yet this is no illogical conclusion of his numerous criticisms and denunciations. He has consistently avoided the real issue by confining his criticism to the Act, and by denouncing the Government, in advance, for contemplated corrupt practices in ita administration. But unfortunately for Mr. Brewster, all the evidence to hand shows that the Act is being administered fairly, and even Liberal Agents are frankly admitting this. If one concedes that it is difficult for the party whicli organized the Vancouver "plugging" to imagine an, Election conducted honourably, there is still room for Mr. Brewster to explain why he refuses to accept tho testimony of his own party agents nnd to ndmit that the votes are being honestly taken. Editorial Notes Sometimes one hears a good thing from an unexpected source. This happened to the writer in connection with smoking room chat after a dinner a few nights ago. After the gentlemen were gathered round the table, one of them asked an important visitor from across the seas what the higher authorities in England really thought of General Sir Sam Hughes. With a twinkle in his eye, the illustrious visitor flashed back his answer: "Le roi s'amuse." The Week has been nsked to call attention to the continued disregard of sanitary precautions in connection with the delivery of bread. Even if protected in the van it is often dumped out at the doors or in the passages of restaurants, or left standing about among pieces of unwashed china and scraps of food. The other day the writer stumbled over four loaves, carefully placed on the floor inside a restaurant. It is true that most of us have to eat a peck of dirt during our life time, but no ones likes to think that one's food has been a plnyground for flies, or a foot tall for dusty boots. Some time ago the Liberal Leader's favourite battle cry was: "Smash the Machine." Then he switched, and adopted a little foundling, which he affectionately christened: "Abolish Patronage." Mr. Brewster is lacking in imagination, otherwise in hie calmer moments after the excitement and feverislmess of the public meeting has died away, he would have n mentnl picture of himself standing at the door of his $0,000 office and saying to his hungry crowd of camp followers thronging the threshold: "Boys, it's true I have got a $6,000 job through your help, but I am sorry to say there is nothing for you, because I have kept my promis' nnd abolished tho patronage system." (Loud Cheers). Nit, Many people are anxious to visit the new Observatory on Saanich Mountnin. The nvernge person does not seem to renlize thnt the handiest and best way to reach this interesting place is to take the Interurban Train to Picken Station. On alighting from the train the passenger will notice a board walk leading to a flight of steps and a turnstile. This leads you directly to the wagon rond; you then turn to your right nnd follow this rond to the Observntory nt the Summit. The view nlone from the top is well worth the climb. The Week tenders its sincere sympathy to the relatives of the late Mrs. J. D. Pemberton, whose name has been associated so honourably with the'City of Victoria for many years. Mrs. Pemberton was a lady of remarkable intelligence and business ability. Few women of her age possessed the same energy, and brightness, and no woman kept more closely in touch with public matters. The name which she bore has stood, and will stand for a generation, as the corner stone of the commercial enterprise of the City; while her countless acts of charity and her many public benefactions will furnish a fitting memorial to one who, possessing great wealth and influence was ever mindful of the responsibilities of her position. Among mnny admirable qualities Mrs. Pemberton possessed in a preeminent degree the spirit of cheery optimism, which is indeed a saving grace in humnn nnture. Her sound judgment and prescience will be sadly missed, not only by the members of her family, but by the citizens of Victoria. People who have been in the habit of buying Comic Cuts, Judge or Puck, should know that for the modest sum of $5 per annum payable in advance they can get a much funnier paper, containing choice speciments of real up-to-date humour. This is not n paid advertisement, but having discovered a good thing, The Week feels impelled, like the discoverer of some healing specific, to share it free, gratis and for nothing with the world at large. It therefore advises all nnd sundry to subscribe to the Vnncouver World. Nothing more excruciatingly funny thnn its editorial vagaries on the Prohibition question enn be found in contemporary journalism. Tho marvel is how it can got so excited on a plain water diet, but it docs get excited every day, and generally lias at least three or four spasms in one issue. Probably its extravngnneo is intended to cover its delinquencies, because although it continues to envort on thc minor fentnres of the subject with which it is obsessed, it cannot find time to explain why it deliberately falsified its report, of Billy Sunday's meeting, and its report of the Prohibition Convention. Instead it purposely misinterprets the suggestion that tlie People's Prohibition Executive is practically identical with the Dominion Trust Directorate. Tliere wns only one possible answer to the suggestion, which wns to show thnt the statement is incorrect, That The World is unable to do lieeause it is absolutely true. The Week is saying nothing about the Dominion Trust. Directorate, but the people of Vancouver will probably have their own ideas about an organization which is engineered and directed by the same men. 6/t/&A a&u -*, Two THS WEEK Saturday, August 26 THE WEEK A BBITISH COLUMBIA IfBWSTAFBB _H» B-VI-W mbllih«« -yssry S-tnrter Isjr Ths Wttlc PubUshtur Os>mp«_j Idmitsd, nt 615 Courtn.r Striat, Victoria, B.C., Canada.

Foretjn subscriptions to countries in Postal Union, $3,00 WILLIAM BLAKEMORE President and Editor AN EFFEC1IVE METHOD OF VOICE CULTURE The Br tisli Columbia Academy »f Music 1ms been in operation for a few months only, but already it has exhibited evidence of great usefulness in the sphere of musical education and promises to become in that respect an important factor among the institutions of the city. The teachers n all departments are thoroughly equipped in their various subjects nml noted for lieing extremely painstaking and conscientious in their work, therefore all who desire to study singing, piano, violin, theory, s'ght reading, French, Italian or dancing will flnd the hest instruction obtainable al the Academy. Tho Academy is established primarily for the purpose of inculcating and promulgating the Thomas Steele system of voice training which is based upon a thorough knowledge of the structure of the vocal organs and ther function and action in producing tone and also of the laws of acoustics applicable to the voice. Never before in the history of vocal art lias an intelligent system of treating the human voice been formulated upon which all its beauty, power and flexibility could be developed with absolute certainty nnd prec'sion. In the past luip-haflard nnd uncertain methods of voice training have universally prevailed and thousands of naturally beautiful voices have been injured by those who, not understanding the nature of the vocal instrument, presumed to direct the studies and practices of students until the vocal teaching profession has become little more than a joke. The practical application of the principle enunciated by Mr. Steele has produced remarkable results in the short space of less than three years among a large number of students in Victoria and Vancouver, proving beyond question the efficacy and value of the system. Mrs. McDonald Fahey, Mrs. Robert Morrison, Mrs. Jessie Phyllis Clayton, Miss Kntherine McGregor, Mr. E. Howard Russell, Mr. Gideon Hicks, Mr. J. H. Pollard, Mr. J. McMnir and many others not only approve of the system but are enthusiastic regard- gardiiig the effects so far attained, and the vast possibilities of future development. The undeniable fact which cannot be too widely known, is that all who are studying voice culture at thc Academy are learning the correct, natural use of their vocal organs and a very considerable number are beginning to sing beautifully, while a few may already be considered artists. ness, in dictating to you what you should do. Remember every vote will count. Yours truly, JOHN CAMPBELL. STILL THEY COME The latest arrival on the editorial desk of The Week Is the "Morissey Mention," the official organ of the 107th E, K. R. Interment Camp. Our old townsman, Private Randolph Smart, is responsible for ths paper, which, to say the least of it, is crisp and entertaining. Tliere must be a lol of business doing in Fernie to enable the "Morr'ssey Mention" to carry the amount of advertising it does, without crippling the regular local newspapers. It is well to remind Victorians thnt another old townsman, Major Shaw, is the O. C. Correspondence NEW INDUSTRIES? PANTAGES THEATRE Real variety is scheduled for Pantages Theatre next week. From a musical comedy playlet, down to trained dogs, each turn :s different, full of entertainment, and has proven distinctly popular in other cities upon the Pantages circuit. In all probability "Emmy's Pets," whicli occupy the chief honor position as far as billng is concerned upon this programme, are the best and most entertaining trained animal net upon tlie present day stage. Prince Matsuyama, who is said lo be the Japanese Caruso, is sure to he a big drawing card in Victoria. He is said to possess a really wonderful singng voice, one with which he can perform some wonderful things. "A Night in the Park" is n big musical comedy turn which is bound to please everyone. This act pos- esses unusually good musical selections, quartette, octette aud sextette selections ibeing offered in unusual amounts. The Melody Six will please everyone with some unusually attractive instrumental and vocal selections. Leon Kimberly and Miss Arnold will cause everyone to lnugh to an unusual degree with tlieir entirely new and original line of patter. Miss Arnold wears gowns which will be of unusual interest to the fair sex, on account of tlieir extreme costliness. Harry Coleman, ventriloquist unique, will entertain lavishly ns no other ventriloquist has entertained in the past. His line of patter is brand new and is certain to mnke everyone laugh. He will complete his act with a big breath-taking stunt which is sure to be the cause for much comment. The nineteenth, nnd next to lnst, appearance of that grcnt serial, "Thc Iron Claw," will make everyone sit up and take notice.

The Editor, "The Week." City. Sir:—The Prohibition Party would have us infer from the literature published hy them that the suppression of the Liquor Traffic would result In the creation of new industries. As far as I enn judge it would create one, possibly two. Firstly, it would put into being a species of private detectives, striving their utmost, one w th the other, lo lay information against any. whom thoy might have the least suspicion of storing liquor secretly. These objects, be it noted, will be protected, in lhat the Prohibition Acl stales that a constable may net "without coinniun cnling lhc name of lhc person giving such information." The Russian police any spy system is in the kindergarten class in comparison. The second hut doubtful industry will be grape juice. Docs any sane person think for one moment that a man can satisfy lis thirst hy imbibing this beverage? Look what it did to William Jennings Bryan. Can yon imagine for one moment the demand being so great as to give permanent employment to the thousands who will be thrown out of employment (if the Bill becomes law)? Will the decreased revenues of Ihe State be made up by the sale of firape Jirce and Lemonade think you, or will the Prohibition Parly see that, failing this, they will strike a new tax rate to supply the deficiency? The idea that a section of the public should have the face to tell a mnn whnt ho should do), nnd whnt be should not do, is very humorous, not to say ludicrous.

Because it will send thousands of dollars out of the Province every day and will benefit merchants outside the Province at the expense of our citizens. 2. Because it will end large revenues to municipalities and the Province. 3. Because it will tremendously increase taxation. 4. Because it will mean a largely increased police force at great expense to the Province. 5. Because it will cause great non-employment, and therefore hardship to over 5,000 people in the Province. . 6. Because it will not benefit the Province economically in any particular whatever. 7. Because it is un-British in principle in at least four different ways. It provides for the— (1) Confiscation without compensation. (2) Onus of proof on the accused. (3) Right to search without a warrant. (4) Elimination of personal liberty. 8. Because it abandons excellent control legislation for unrestricted importation and drug-store distribution. 9. Because it will cause discord, trouble and strife within tiie Province. 10. Because it will turn otherwise respectable citizens into sneaks, hypocrites and liars. 11. Because it is class legislation.

Fifteenth Year BRITAIN HAS STRUCK STRIDE CANADIAN MINISTER, BACK FROM MOTHERLAND, PRAISES ORGANIZATION OF MUNITIONS OTrTAWA, Aug. 21—"It can be said in a word," saicl Sir George Poster, minister of trade and Commerce, who has just returned from a lengthy sojourn in England and France, "that Great Britain has passed the stage of scarcity of munitions of war which for long months placed her troops, as well as those of her allies, in a painful and costly contrast with the forces of the enemy. Organization has taken place in a most thorough way and on a gigantic scale and. munitions from shells for the big guns to small arms ammunition are being turned out in entirely satisfactory quantities, and of a quality not surpassed. It is plain that not only is Great Britain prepared to furnish from this time onward what is necessary for her own troops, but also to assist largely in supplying her allies. "The results of the change are apparent everywhere from the base of supplies to the trenches, and have imparted the greatest confidence both to those at home and to the soldiers at the front. There need ibe no fear so far as the British people are concerned of halting measures or indecision. And tlie same, I think, maybe snid of our allies, who with Great Britain, are fully determined that the war shall be victoriously concluded." Speaking of the economic conference held at Paris, Sir George said it was unique in the history of the world that such an assembly could be organized nnd accomplish so much in five days. It was all a tribute to the tact and ability of the French minister of commerce, who presided. Conclusions had been reached which would profoundly affect the commerce and production of the world after the war. Sir George thought it noteworthy that two of the four representatives of thc British empire ut the conference had been selected from the over- sens dominions—Mr. Hughes, prime minister of Australia, nnd himself. Sir George has gone to Rimouski for a brief holiday. Devon Row. His scholastic career at the Methodist College in Newfoundland led to his selection as a Rhodes .Scholar. While nt Oxford University he became n trooper in the King's Colonials, and studied cavalry warfare nt a time when war was little dreamed of. He has been at the battle front since February of-this year. While studying at Oxford for his B. A. degree, Capt. Mitchell took up the study of forestry. Since coming to British Columbia, three years ngo, he had worked ns a timber cruiser for tlie British Columbia Government and in the spring of 1014 was appointed deputy district forester at the Vancouver office. A younger brother of Capt. Mitchell, Harry Mitchell, who fought with distinction iu the Gallipoli campaign, received promotion for gallantry on tho field. SHAWNIGAN LAKE BOTE BURNS MR.

The font of arms which won tho approbation of the military authorities occurred while Mr. Mitchell was serving as lieutenant with thc London Post Rifles in a brittle against the Prussian Guard. One by one nlmost the entire detachment were struck down by machine gun lire, but Lieut. Mitchell stuck to his post working the gun. For over forty hours, with practically no food, he held the post assigned to him until relief came. An ironical feature of Capt. Mitchell's history is thnt he hnd stood in line in Vancouver for over hnlf n day in nn effort to enlist, soon after the war broke out, but was rejected for some minor physical defect. Nothing daunted, he joined the Army Service Corps, and on arrival in England managed to transfer to the London Rifles, where he obtained a commission nnd has won his wny to mili- tnry distinction nnd advancement. In Vancouver Capt. Mitchell wns always distinguished among his colleagues in thc forest department by his quiet, unassuming manners, though he hnd to his credit the honor of being a Rhodes Scholar. Cnpt. Mitchell was born in Newfoundland about thirty yenrs ngo. the son of Mr. nnd Mrs. J. B. Mitchell, of A thrilling escape from death five miles over the German lines, nnd 7,000 feet in the air was the experience of Flight-Lieutenant Scott Williams, a Vancouver avintor, who for severnl months has been with the army in France doing his "bit" for the Empire with other members of the Royal Flying Corps. Young Willinms, who is well known in Vancouver and Victorin, writing to Ernest E. Jopson, who joined the motor-boat patrol, and left here seven weeks ago, tells briefly of the flight, the letter being forwarded to Mr. Jopson's father, Mr. J. B. Jopson, one of Vancouver's pioneers. Williams says in part: "Received my commission in the R. F. C. about three months ngo, nnd like flying very much, in fact it is the only game. Hot around our way at present in the middle of the big push. Fighting in the air is quite common, five out of twelve hnve disappeared since the "push" stnrted. "Two dnys ngo we lost our machine, though we mnnnged to save ourselves. When five miles over the Hun lines we were attacked by four enemy machines. Their first volley hit our engine, which naturally enough stopped running, and we started gliding to our lines from about 7,000 feet, and the Huns followed, firing under our tail. Hew it wns that we weren't hit heaven only knows. AVe landed only 1,000 yards on our side of the trenches. Our machine hadn't been on the ground a minute when over came a Hun 5.9. Their fifth shot blew the tail completely off. They fired nbout twenty shots in all. One could pick the machine up with a broom or n basket in five minutes. "Lnst Saturday night at 11:30 p. m. wc went back of the lines. It wns a dull night, and of course our compnss failed, so we got lost. Fortunately we landed at a French drome near Pnris, though it might just ns well have been a Hun one.'' VICTORIA, Aug. 22.—Yesterday morning fire broke out in the Shawnigan Lake hotel and an hour and a hnlf Inter nothing wns left of the well known hostelery but n heap of ashes. There is no fire fighting apparatus at the resort, and the fire equipment kept in the house were powerless to check the flames. The fire seems to have started in the roof about 7 o'clock in the morning. The Chinese cook had lighted the fire, and, so far as can be gathered, an overheated stove pipe was the cause. The campers and residents from all over the neighborhood soon gathered and helped to save the furniture, about half of which was carried out. E, J. Davis, James Moss and J. E. Barnett, who were at their camp just across the lake, were among the first to see the flames. They hurried across in their boat but were too late to do more than help save the furniture. They sny that the flre burned from above downward, so that there was plenty of time for the guests to get out, and also for much of the furniture to be removed. The first hotel, on the site of the one that was burned yesterday, was built by Harry Morton, of this city. He had it erected nearly twenty-five years ago. Morton sold out to George Koenig several yenrs Inter, nnd the business wns conducted by him and- his wife until the hotel burne ddown nbout fourteen years ngo. On the site of that building was erected a modern hotel known as the Shawnigan Lake hotel, or more popularly as Koenig's. Mrs. Koenig, now Mrs. Kingsley, sold out to James Findley in 1912 for n sum approximating .$50,000. The license wns held in the nnme of Donald J. McSweyne nnd Frank English respectively until the beginning of 1914, when Mr. Findley took it over himself and hns conducted it since. The hotel cost in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand dollars to build, but the insurance which was carried mostly by the Commercinl Union through the Vnncouver office, Mr. Findely being their local agent. The building hnd 28 bedrooms nnd wns well finished nnd commodious. Tt wns a noted resort for Victorians who spent their holidays nt the lake. Among the guests at the hotel wns Colin C. Campbell, a son of the super- was enjoying a holiday out of town. He nnd nil the other guests got out without injuries. Fortunately the air was very still so that even the barns adjoining the hotel wore untouched by the flames. VANCOUVER, Aug. 21—Mr. George H. Cowan, K. C, nnd Mr. George Gray, the Australian billiard champion, were yesterday afternoon treated to a novel experience when they visited the aviation field at Coquitlnni where the aero school students make daily flights. Under tho pilotage of Aviator Robbins, Mr. Cowan was tnken above the clouds on a dual-control machine. Ou his return to terra lirma Mr. Cowan described his trip ns being delightful in the extreme, and one which gave rise to many pleasant sensations. He declared that he had been nmnzed nt the apparent puny size of great buildings, and clusters of dwellings when viewed from the clouds.

"There have been a lot of exaggerated statements nbout the crops being damaged by the frost. There is nothing to thnt. It will be a good crop. We nre taking plenty of farm laborers to the prairies nnd the business there is splendid, in fnct it could hnrdly be better." While they hnd not carried ns great n volume of tourist business during the summer ns they hnd lnst yenr, Mr, McPherson snid they hnd done n very good business well above the average of a normal yenr.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 21.—Thnt the trial of the ex-ministers would be extended one month by the admission of evidence of alleged defective workmanship on the parliament buildings wns the contention of A. J. Andrews, K. C, chief defence counsel, expressed to Mr. Justice Prendergnst in the opening today of the fifth week of the hearing. Mr. Andrews declared that such evidence wns irrevelnnt since there wns no evidence to connect inferior work with thc nllegeil conspiracy charged ngninst the nc- ctiscd nnd it would introduce n com- plicnted nnd technical element to the trial. His lordship snid he would give this question special consideration during recess. The admissibility of this line of evidence hns been raised before nml came up today iu certain pnris of the examination of Architect F. W. Simon and when William Menzies wns culled to tell of taking concrete blocks from the caissons for testing purposes. Capt. Paul Sehoiler, civil engineer, who reported on the design nnd construction of the building in the spring of last year for Attorney- General Hudson, wns on the stniul during the lnllcr pnrt of the morning session.

LONDON, Aug. 21.—In an article entitled, "Thc Great Neutral," Hie Times holds that the United States has forfeited post-bellum rights which might have been enjoyed if a different attitude hnd been assumed early in the wnr. It snys: "Next to wnr, perhaps nothing is more wonderful than neutrality. In theory, to be neutral is to be non-partisan and to favor neither side, lint in practice, as its well known, neutrality may arrogate to itself a variety of functions which might at first sight seem foreign to its nature, "So far as the present war is concerned, only one neutral country exists. We refer, of course, to the United Stales of America. "When Britain joined issue with Germany in 1914 the probable attitude of the United Slides would appear to have been considered by nobody but the Germans. Roughly, tlie British view was Hint by llie nature of things. American sympathy, and If worst came to worst. American support, might be taken for granted, "Il would be invidious nml probably improper to Btlggesl Hint we have nellier one nor the other. The Germans sa.v we have, but on the other hand we believe Hint there !s :i tremendous body of American opinion which says we have not. "There was a moment nt the beginning of the wnr when the whole duty of the American government seemed to ho pnlpnbly and surely before it. For good or ill that moment was allowed to puss. The United States did not intervene, did not move. Indeed, fo assert a moral right, she assumed the virtue of her insistonl participation in The Hague convention, "If by this failure she lost nothing of materia! importance, and may for Hint matter have gained in so far ns her own immediate advantage is concerned, she certainly forfeited postbellum rights which would have been hers if she hnd taken upon herself the burdens and responsibilities of interference. This view of Imposition is fully nppreeinfeil in these quarters where American neutrality lias been upheld in Hie fnee nf nil criticism, nnd obviously is the correct view." WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Investi- gntion of reports from Pnnnma thnt n sixty thousand-acre land concession nt the Atlantic end of the canal is being sought by a Spnninrd named Fernandez, presumably for Japnnese interests was ordered today by Secretary Lansing. Rumors of a similar nature hnve been common since the cnnal was well under way, but it was not till several months ngo thnt they reached a well defined outline. At that time it was commonly believed in diplomatic circles that private Japanese shipping interests were seeking land through Spanish intermediaries to establish a base for storing coal at lower rates than could be had from the American Government monopoly base. So far as is known nothing definite came of that plan. The present reports arc Hint Fernandez, Havana agent for Jnpnnesc interests, secure a 00,000-ucre land concession through the activities of Ramon Valdcs, whose recent eleclion to the presidency of Panama mny pos-' sibly be disputed by the United Stales because of alleged l'rnudB and coercion. Admiral Concens of the Spanish nnvy, selected by Ihe Pnnnma Government ns umpire to settle the dispute with the United States over the purchase price of canal property, is alleged to have given valuable information about the canal itself.
