The Week ft British Columbia Newspaper and Review Vol. XIV, No. 39—15th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, March 10th, 1917 5c a copy $2.00 a year William Blakemore ON Sunday morning last the citizens of Victoria who came down early to read the War Bulletins in the window of The Colonist Office, were startled and shocked to read a short notice to the effect that Mr. William Blakemore had died suddenly early in the morning. The deceased gentleman, though hardly to be considered an old- timer, had lived long enough in Victoria to bring the effect of his personality to bear very largely upon all phases of public life. He took a keen interest in Politics, Journalism, Sport and all matters of public benevolence. Mr. Blakemore was born at Wolverhampton in 1854, and from his earliest years lived in an atmosphere of engineering affairs, particularly mining matters. He practised as a mining Engineer in England from 1874 to 1893, holding several public positions of great importance. He was Consulting Engineer to the Ratepayers' Association of Birmingham, he was the flrst President of the National Association of Colliery Managers of England. On his arrival in Canada in 1894 he became Mining Engineer to the Dominion Coal Company at Cape Breton and afterwards held a similar position in the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company at Fernie, B. C. In 1900 he became Consulting Mining Engineer to the Candian Pacific Railway Company. During his residence in England he won distinction in his profession by becoming a prize man of the North of England Institution of Mining Engineers, and also took the Greenwell Gold Medal, a distinction much coveted by those keen men of the North Country. Early in the twentieth century Mr. Blakemore came to live in Nelson, and took to journalism, assuming charge of the Nelson Tribune, a paper originally started by the late John Houston. This field, however, did not afford sufficient scope for a journalist of the calibre of Mr. Blakemore and he soon moved to Victoria and before long acquired The Week, then a new publication. This gave him an opportunity of showing what he could do, and the combination of his wide knowledge of men and affairs, his keen insight into business and political matters, and his mastery of the English language, soon showed his readers that British Columbia possessed a journalist of remarkable powers, and from that day until the day preceding his death the columns of The Week have been most eagerly read and enjoyed by all men who have any education at all. Not only did Mr. Blakemore leave his mark upon journalism, but he laboured hard in the efforts that are being made to utilize the natural resources of Vancouver Island, in the shape of coal and iron. In the fields also of patriotism and benevolence Mr. Blakemore was no less a power. He was one of the Directors of the Provincial Royal Jubilee Hospital. He worked hard in the interests of the Over-Seas Club and also of the Navy League, of the objects of which he was a tireless advocate, both with his pen and upon the platform. In the realm of Sports Mr. Blakemore was a keen enthusiast, the Victoria Tennis Club owes much to his organizing ability. His well-known figure was never absent when an important cricket match was being played. Wherever he was, his genial manner, his knowledge of the subject in hand and his interesting way of talking always made him the centre of an eager group. Mr. Blakemore took a keen interest in the attempt made a year or two ago to establish an Old Public School Boys' Society in Victoria, and only a few weeks ago he was casting about to find some means of starting what he was pleased to call a "Vagabonds' Club" in Victoria. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow and several children. His eldest son, Mr. Percy Blakemore, is now engaged on special engineering work with the Imperial forces in France. Another son, Shirley, is also at the Front, with the 102nd Battalion. Three daughters also survive him, two others having died some years ago. Mr. Blakemore'8 place in the social system of Victoria will long bo empty, for it is an exceedingly rare thing to find a man anywhere with such an enormous fund of information and such a natural facility for disbursing it. The funeral took place from Christehurch Cathedral on Tuesday lust, the services being conducted by the Rev. F. Quainton, Dean of Columbia. The Church was filled with a large number of people, among whom were many of the most prominent men in the Province, not the least noticeable among the congregation being many men from H. M. warships in port. There were several handsome wreaths of flowers from the Lieut- Governor and Mrs. Bernard, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. H. Matson, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Cusack, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Green, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. W. and Miss Newcombe, Mrs. H. P. Simpson (of Vancouver). The Directors of the Jubilee Hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Marconi, Mr. and Mrs. A. McRae, of Halifax, the Navy League President, officers and members of Victoria Conservative Association, President, officers and members of Victoria Conservative Club, the Cowichan Conservative Association, tho Navy League Chapter I. O. D. E., petty officers and men of the R. N. C. V. R., the Ladies' Guild of the Connaught Leamen's Institute, Victoria Board of Trade, staff of The TFekk, and Messrs. Pither and Leiser. Save and Serve COL. PRIOR'S letter on this subject in The Colonist of Thursday last merits the widest publicity and the closest attention. He shows the necessity of the greatest economy by us all in the matter of consumption of food stuffs. Here in this favoured part of the Empire we are so absolutely free from all direct effects of the War that it is a little hard for us to realize the necessity for what appears to our Western minds to be almost parsimonious economy. But the necessity is there all the same. Every pound of meat, of flour, or of vegetables unnecessarily consumed by us takes a pound from the quantity available for our kindred in the old country or for our sons and brothers fighting in the Trenches of France. Col. Prior then advocates a law to be passed by the Federal . Government compelling a regulation of diet on lines similar to such laws as are now in force in the Old Country, but he fears that Canadians would not stand being compelled to do anything of the kind. The Colonel's fears are probably well grounded. The people of Canada are young people, children, in fact, among the citizens of the world, and children seldom do what is good for them unless some superior force compels them to do it. Acting on this principle, our wise elders having decided that a certain course is good for the young nation, they should pass laws to compel the adoption of this course. But here again there is a difficulty—most of our wise Elders are politicians, and as such are in great fear of saying Boh! to a goose. in his opinion Britain had surprised every other in the conduct of the war. Within an hour of the declaration of war Britain was in command of the seas. The German High Seas Fleet was confined to the Kiel Canal, and German overseas trade had suffered a blow from which it would not recover without our permission. Within ten days the finest army that ever left these shores had saved the situation. Our army now, for quality and equipment, had no rival. Moreover, Britain had financed the Allies and shouldered the burden manfully. In fact, we are again playing the part which we so efficiently sustained over a hundred years ago of affording the backbone of a combined resistance against a colossal effort to subjudicate the world. Without Great Britain's mighty aid, that effort would Undoubtedly have succeeded long ere this, but the end of the titanic struggle will be the same as was that against the attempt of the "Corsican Upstart." But one should make no claim to altruism in this great sacrifice, for we are fighting for our own national life as much as are our Allies. Had we cravenly stood aside and seen this second upstart's infamoue enterprise succeed, we should not have been long in finding ourselves also numbered among Germany's serf or vassal States, with the Junker heel pressing mercilessly on our necks—and we should have deserved it. Editorial Notes Again the Irish question occupies the centre of tlie stage in British Politics. It was brought up by Mr. T. P. O'Connor who moved a resolution "That with a view of strengthening the hands of the Allies in achieving recognition of the rights of small nations against the opposite German principle it is essential without further delay to confer upon Ireland the free institutions long promised to her." This resolution gave rise to a heated debate and the Premier, Mr. Lloyd George, offered two alternative courses, one was a conference of Irishmen and the other was a commission of the House. Mr. Redmond would have none of it and he called on the Irish Members of the House to leave it in a body with him which they did. And there the matter stands and is likely to stand. If all Ireland wanted Home Rule, she could have it tomorrow, but a large and very influential portion of the country absolutely refuses to subject itself to the rule of the other part, being alien to it in language, religion nnd race descent, to say nothing of ideas. A condition of affairs is thus presented that so far has defied solution. The Week believes that it has a number of friends in Victoria and throughout the Province and in the present crisis of its history, when it finds itself suddenly deprived of the guiding hand of the pilot who has for so long and with so much ability conducted its course it needs the services of those friends more than ever. The most practical method by which that friendship can be Bhown is by the payment of old subscription money long over due and by the renewal of the same subscriptions and the sending in of new ones. Vhe Late William fBlakemore The goose being the Canadian public. It wants a strong man to do it. Have we the man ? The War ON Sunday last came the news that the Germans were being driven still further along the valley of the Ancre, with little further information of any value from the front in France. Bnt from Persia conies the news that the Turks have been expelled by the Russians from the town of Hamadan and that they were retreating towards their own frontier. This is a most important piece of news as it probably presages the junction of the Russians witli the victorious British at Knt El Amarn nnd the two armies will have nothing to oppose their further advance than a disorderly mob of defeated Turks. And in this connection it mny be well to remember that while the Turk is one of the best soldiers in Europe when properly led, his morale is of a low order and is easily broken. The ground nbout the Somine is improving in condition under the combined action of dry weather and frost, which may considerably assist General Haig in the further prosecution of his plans. The result of the operations so far in this region is that the British forces have extended their lines for more than !i0 miles, and by so doing have released 125,000 French troops for service elsewhere. Playing a Mighty Part WE are, perhaps, too much inclined to take things for granted, and to fail to fully realize the greatness of tbe achievements of our own countrymen, while perhaps exaggerating those of our enemies. In no instance is this tendency more marked than with regard to the wonderful work whicli our Navy has achieved in this war in saving us all from the horrors under which hapless little Belgium has groaned for over two years past. Something of what we owe in this matter to our splendid first line of defence and to the little army which we sent to meet the first German onset was expressed on Saturday at Helensburg by Lord Strathclyde, who said The Boardof National Service is making a final effort to get its registration of Canadian Manhood complete by the end of this month. For this purpose notices nre being sent to every postmaster announcing that the time for the return of the filled in cards has been extended to the 31st of March. A supply of the cards and of addressed envelopes is kept at every Post Office, whence they can be obtained by those who have so far failed to obtain them. In the present condition of affairs, not only of Canada, bnt of the British Empire ns a whole, it is most important that the authorities should hnve full and reliable information of the man power available, not necessarily for actual military service, but for the purpose of all the wants and Deeds of i!ip nation and of its sailors and soldiers. Tn answer tu many kind"enquiries Tin-: Week is glad to be able to announce thnt its publication will not cense. At present everything is more or less in confusion nnd no definite arrangements enn be mnde. Tt is recognized thnt the Into Editor gave bis renders a class of writing far in advance of anything of the kind published in B. C. nnd thnt it would lie a mistake to attempt to supply nn imitation of these lenders. The attempt, therefore, will not be made. But other features will be introduced which will, it is hoped, mnke up to our renders in some part for the loss they hnve sustained through Mr. Blakemorc's death. In spite of Ocenn Steamships, submarine cables, nnd wireless telegraphy, the world remains a very big plnce. This is being forced upon our notice by the attempts, so far in vnin, to hold an Imperial War Conference in London. Here were to meet the chief men from all the different parts of our grent Empire. To mnke it possible for them to attend everything poBsihlo was done, even to the adjournment of the sittings of Houses of Pnrlinment. Sir Robert Borden got nwny in good time and arrived in London much ton soon. Sir William Hughes of Auslrnlin hnd more difficulties nt home to overcome nnd then had a very much longer journey to take. He hns not renched London yet. Gen, Smuts, not ye rested from his task of driving the Germans out of Africa, has also not yet arrived in England. The world remains a lnrge place and its largeness is not the least of the difficulties in the way of those who are anxious to bring the Empire under some hard and fast scheme of Federation.
