Creston school trustees are just in receipt of the regulation report of Inspector Dove,-who made his second inspection of the school last week. The document, deals largely with the necessity of providing bet ter educational facilities and on that point he has this to say. "I must renew my recommendatio.i that your board make provision for an additional teacher after the sumuiei- holidays for, if any of the present pupils succeed in passing into the Intermediate High School, as is probable, this would throw the .work of three high school classes as well as of the Entrance class upon one teacher, which is more than any teacher can do justice to. The only alternative would be tha pupils passing in.to the Intermediate High School class must seek theirfurther education elsewhere. After commending the board for their efforts to secure a water supply to secure the school against fire, he recommends the placing of ah alarm gong in the hall without - delayer. He would also like to see a thermometer in each room, as well as the completion of some other minor repairs. On the matter of medical inspection he adyises the board to "request the medical health officer to make his inspection of the school, in future, as soon as possible after the opening oi" the school in August, ..when it is of uri oroiners nave s-uiVLeu on erection of a "24x32 ft., story-and-a- half house.

In view of the commonly-accepted interpretation of the fishery regulations that fishing for trout of all kinds is unlawful between Nov. 15th and April 30th, The Review is pleased to learn from most reliable authority that Creston anglers can do all the fishing they want to at any month In the year in thi streams hereabouts, the only limit to the sport being that only 25 fish of any or all varieties may be taken in one day. Of courso trout under 8 inches in length must not be retained, and fishing through the ice for trout is illegal.. It is likewise unlawful to buy, sell or oxpose for sale any trout under 3 pounds in weight. As many local disciples of Isaak Walton find rare sport in trying thoir luck iu tho open spaces in the river during the winter this information will be read with satisfaction. Tho regulations, which became effective last spring, by special ordor in council, are uu .follows: No ���������.tit- shall flab for, catch or kill trout of any kind from tho 15th day of November, in each yoar to the 30th ,u,y ..r .....i1. r_.P..<_v_"'__!ir_ both ehivH ?

Hawley, president of the Aero Club of New York, said: "This new* German monoplane will undoubtedly bring out the speedy French and British biplanes, which 1 understand, have not been used, because of the difficulty of having wide enough landing grounds for them at" the theatre of war." Henry Woodhonse, a governor o'f the Aero Club, said he had heard about the "Fokker" class planes of the Germans, and was surprised that they had not appeared in the news despatches before. "Both the British and French have machines that can make the same i speed or more than 160 miles an hour, but they have not used them extensively because the Germans were not using ythem, and they are difficult to handle and trained pilots are scarce. This new-* development of the Germans does not mean that they will be supreme in the air, except in Russian territory, where they have thousands of aviators to the hundreds of Russians. It takes several thousand aeroplanes and trained aviators to give supremacy. "As a matter of fact, the British navy has been supreme in the air as well as on the water during the. whole war. This is largely due to the large number of 'America' ahd 'super-America' flying boats, made iu this country, which are equipped with two 160- horsepower motors. More than 3 00 of these great machines and about 500 of the smaller types ��������� have been delivered to Great Britain during the last year. One American firm lias orders for 1,100 more, including some huge (lying boats, which are veritable battle cruisers. Several other firms are constructing large land and water aeroplanes witii two and more engines."

A great deal can be accomplished in this direction by.deep ploughing, constant cultivation, and thoi-quglr tillage. There should he a proper system of rotation. Especially where one crop lias been grown for several years, a different one should be planted this year. Green manures and cover crops should be used, as much as possible in their proper rotation. "Of the organic substances, manure, both solid and liquid, is the most important and should be utilized Wherever possible. All material of an organic nature, such as leaves and bedding of various sorts, should be composted and the' compost applied to the soil. Special attention should be given also to the conservation of wood ashes. Depending on the character of the wood, they contain potash in quantities varying ordinarily from 3 to 10 ..per cent. All .tree trimmings, brush cuttings, etc., sliould be burned and the ashes, therefrom utilized. "The application of lime to many soils is of undoubted benefit. Though the*' availability of the fertilizing elements in the soil may not be greatly increase'd by its use, the resultingj improvement in physical and bacterial conditions may increase considerably the productiveness of the soil." cause headache, biliousness, constipation, impure blood and other unpleasant symptoms.

In the United States there was, in the five years ending with 1914, a steady decline in the number of cattle other than milch cows. The total decline for the five years was nearly 6,000,000 head. During the same-time the number of dairy cattle remained about stationary. In the last year, however, cattle, other than milch cows, showed an increase of over 2,300,000, while milkers have increased by less than half that number.

Complaint Against Canadians Archdeacon Madden of Liverpool, who died recently after a very short illness, says the Canadian Associated Press, was always fond of relating his Canadian experiences. Of the Canadians he made one complaint that they would uot respond to the humorous side of his speeches.

Even one night when the. speeches were long, and the evening- late, and the chairman gave out ns tho closing hymn, "The Morning Light is Breaking," no one smiled. One day lie was strap-hanging in a Liverpool tram whon he heard eloso by certain mutterings and perceived a strong smell of Scotch.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, MAR. 17 @������ M The Review's estimate ot* the; probable cost of moving the Kootenay River ferry to its proposed new location, and doing the necessary grading for the approaches to it on either river bank, has been getting some little attention this week, and it is satisfactory to know that in almost every case onr figures are well on the safe side, particularly were the -work done by contract��������� one gentleman, not in the habit of working for pleasure entirely, to say nothing of the innumerable back yard gardens and vacant lot cultivation, it becomes at once apparent that the prairie people can supply most of their vegetable needs fairly satisfactorily from the home town growers. While it may seem arbitrary, and possibly contrary to the constitution of the Union, to make such' a move, at least no harm could cuine of doing some educational work along this line. If during tho greater part of the season local ranchers cannot compete with the prairie growers on certain c������asscs of vegetables the sooner we quit trying to beat fche othor fellow At his own game (to say nothing of the freight and his cheaper land) the better for all concerned.

However, in view of the inglorious success of the government candidates in the recent Vancouver and Victoria bye-elections, . it is hardly likely the department, in such a critical time, would so flaunt public opinion, as expressed in the petition asking for the ferry's removal, as to undertake this new roadmaking without first, of all making some pretence at impartial enquiry into the matter prayed for by the petitioners. The government's life is too uncertain to go on with any such hazardous undertaking at this juncture. iSSS Vegetables If not too late in tho season and the gentlemen comprising the committee on drafting recommendations for the "packing and shipping of produce offered for salp in 1010" arc not unwilling, it seems to The Review that the Fruit Growers Union might find it worth while to continue tho labors of this committee in the direction of recommending what vegetables the Union will handle this year.

The same state of affairs exactly prevailed in Cranbrook. During 19L6 British Columbia is expected to enroll 36,000 men for Canada's fighting forces���������or about 700 a week. If all other provincial points are as unfortunate as this��������� well, it wont be long before- the militia authorities, as well as citizens generally, begin-to realize that something's got to be done or something's going to happen. And already there be those who do not hesitate to say that there are but two alternatives: Some sort of conscription or better financial arrangmeuts so that active service will look more attractive to business men. J. H. Burnham, M.P. (Peterboro) has called the government's attention to the better pay phase. He asks that the soldiers' pay be placed somewhere near what the recruit has previously earned at his trade, that the lives of soldiers be insured, and that fcho soldiers compensation in case of wounds or sickness be placed on a par with what ho would get under workmen's compensation. While rather definite assurance has been giynn by Premier Borden that there will bo no conscription in Canada, if tho need should ariso tlio compulsion can be immediately point vhafc opposition criticism is very largely of Mr. Bowser's actions���������party government being almost non-existent, or so pere- meated with fche Bowser bacilli as to be hardly worth the calling by any other name ���������the parfcy allowed fche Premier the- free hand and they must siukor swim with him.

It seems to The Review the Conservatives have nothing to gain and everything to lose iu making Mr. Bowser the party goat. The premier has outlined and is determined to give effect to a policy that should return any government to power provided the right class of candidates are placed in nomination to enforce, and in the whole people's interests enact, those measures, if placed in charge of public affairs. Instead of casting around for a new leader if the party will overhaul its nominees, discarding the Mackaysand Macleans, theHunters and Cavens, and get some real red blooded candidates, who have some reputation for ability to thimk and the nerve to give utterance to their reflections even to boss Bowser, instead of the consideroble galaxy of mere voting jackanapes who now draw sessional indemnity at Victoria if tho day cannot be saved at least the nuclons of a real opposition will be assured���������something to be devoutly wished i'or by tho country as well aa both the contending parties. ������ A.

As the writer on the negative side has mentioned the Jewish Teacher, or Christ, I take pleasure in doing the sa������n������?' The measurementof things in the natural world is by some legally- adopted standard of measure. Por geographical measurements the mile is the standard. For shorter distances the foot, and for measuring manufactured goods the yard is used; for fully to this standard a man come*-- to perfection, as St. Paul says, "Unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Let us upon a few points measure' Chi isi. and by comparing ourselves with H;m we can know what is our own measure. Christ's fidelity to truth and right was unassailable. His integrity was" absolute. His obedience to law was complete. He did not follow His own will, nor yield to the inclinations of the flesh, but obeyed in His actions and His teachings the councils of God, which has been revealed in 'the scriptures and which has been made known to Him by the direct revelation of the divine will in meeting the tempter. He was quick to take his stand by what "is written," not once but many times. When temptation was offered Jesus rebuked his adversary with the Since its incorporation us a city twenty-three years ago, Kaslo has had thirteen different mayors. R.

In the financial world he is measured by his ability to successfully handle and accumulate wealth. In tlio professional life by the success of his practice. In the educational by his proficiency in teaching, and oo alno in other lines.

Jesus loved with a perfect love, with no thought or desire for praise of men. He did good to all as opportunity offered". The sick He healed, the disconsolate were given consolation, as He loyed He taught others to love, to "Love thy neighbor as thyself," love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you. There is no mistaking this measure, and it is easy for every man to measure himself by it; it is the standard-by which every man will be measured. He was just in His dealings with man. .He never oppressed any but sought the liberation of all, He recognized, however, that sin was the pow er that enslaved men, and though He sternly rebuked those who by their teachings and actions were helping in- *| to bondage His attacks were directly against the sin itself. To fche man who was denied his rights of inheritance by a treacherous brother and who came to Jesus seeking intervention in his behalf, He said. "Beware of covetousness, for behold a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." In Athis He struck at fche root of the injustice. The injustices and hypocricies of the Pharisees were condemned in no uncertain terms when Jesus said, to them, "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the mightier matter of the law, judgment, mercy and faith," They had not been just in their dealings, notwithstanding they made very loud professions of religion- On another dccassion He charged them with having condemned fche guiltless, ������____���������_������a?a?& ?t? <���������������_���������������������������-���������������_ Ai4u' CpSa!* !J-!}?���������������!>_ yi ygiiwyii uiljf.

Jesus was above these oppressions and injustices. He injured no man, dealing fairly and honorably with those who dealt unjustly with Kim. This is the measure of man; fche standard to which every man conform if he would be one with Christ. Even those who deny the divinity of Chi ist freely acknowledge the purity and virtue of His life. No stain or suspicion rests upon Him. He liy ed above reproach and. fcbersby ssfc s. standard for all men, holding His teachings in this regard ave the highest set for men, holding., that every heart should, be kept free from the thought of evil, and that the harbored thought of evil alone is sufficient to stain the soul, This is the measure by which all men will be measured. The path of true loye, justice and mercy, was fche path followed by Jesus, regardless of the opinion of men. His course was , so different from that of His Own household that His brethe-n thought He was beside himself. Though he was a Jew he did. not hesitate to tell"fche Jewish nation its sins and warn its people of the judgment to come. In opposition to the views of the wisest and most learned of. His people He declared fche kingdon of God was a spiritual kingdom, and on one .occasion He stated the*t*t?quirements of the divine law to His o*5Vh disciples who were following Him, and ^from thafc time many of: his disciples went-back and walked no more with Him." To stand by the truth even at the cost of losing^ considerable part of His following required a courage that is not common among men. Jesus openly declared the sins of His own nation, the hypocricies of the priests, and the injustices of the ruling classes. This, then, is what I take for true religion. These are but a few po'nts that show the wonderful stature of Christ. They are revealed to us in His person, and they furnish us with the true measure by which. , we may measure ourselyes. As a means of developing these qualities fche Lord established His church, in which he placed Hi_ chosen officers of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, with all the Rifts of His spirit, for the perfecting of the saints for the worl: of the ministry,, J'or tho edifying of the body of Christ, "till we all come in tho unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." May wo reach the fulnoss of His stature. Thon, may I say, can Socialism get along without tho religion or help of Jesus Christ ? It will require $18,000 to finance Fernie schools this year.

B. ���������* ������55ST ONE OF THE WORLD'S' MOST INTERESTING PORTS Archangel Now Takes a Leading Place Among the Wheat Exporting Ports, and Should be Kept in Mind in Calculating The Possibilities of the Hudson Bay Route One of the most interesting ports i in the world today, is Archangel, Russia's Arctic seaport on the i White Sea. Previous to the war trade this was confined to occasional exports of timber, fish, furs and other local products of Northern Russia; but now* Archangel is the only part of European Russia open l'or foreign trade by direct sea communication, ' and together with Vladivostok- forms one of the two channels for supply for Russia. Archangel is situated on the Dwina river, which at that point is about two and a half miles wide, with a depth of between'. 22 to 42 feet. The tide from, the White Sea. amounts to about, three- feet, and at various landing-stages the depth of the water is, as a rule, 22 feet at low tide. Archangel is a long, narrowly built city, with suburbs and outlying houses extending to the White Sea, the extension being more than 30 miles. The main street is more than six miles long. The shipping on the river down to the White Sea is considerable. The city has 35 large piers today, against three piers two years ago. Not less than 103 huge warehouses have sprung up in the last year, but yet there is a great insufficiency of piers and warehouses, as a result of which ships arriving have to lie in the stream for Aveelcs and weeks before they can unload. However, the authorities have done wonders and are preparing and planning to meet the enormous traffic next spring. The chief drawback is, ,as is well known, the question of ice in the winter, and if it had not been for this obstacle Archangel would be the finest port in the world, as it has nearly 70 mibS-s of river frontage available for ships drawing up to 23 feet. Archangel's magnificent system of inland waterways, through the Dwina river, is a great feature, as it is possible to. ship goods direct by- water to nearly all the principal towns in Russia. Barges and river boats, carrying up to 2,000 tons of freight and drawing about six feet of water*, can be satisfactorily used in carrying freight all over the country. The Dwina river begins freezins: in October. This year it'was j hoped lo keep the river open from! Archangel out to the White Sea till about December 15. Two of the largest ice-breakers in the world are now in Archangel, aud several more ice-breakers-are jnow being constructed in England. The work that was carried out last summer and autumn by the Russian authorities was most admirable, in spile of the great accumulation of goods and steamers arriving day and night. Goods for the Russian government have been moved by the narrow- gauge railway line and goods* sent to private firms have been shipped *by boats or barges unless packed for parcels post, when they have been taken liy the railway company. Resides Archangel, at Kola, in Lapland, across the Murman penisula, a railway is now being constructed, to be completed in ���������this' winter, connecting the Arctic ocean with the peninsula, so that - Kola can be used altetnrively~ a Kola can be used alternately,- especially from January to May, when it is impossible Lo keep Archangel open even with, very powerful ice breaker?. Around this port of the Arctic ocean tho Gulf Stream creates sufficient warmth to prevent, ice. Many shipping agents at Archangel aro firranglng I'or offices and habitation i.t Kola" from early January until May. The use of tho White Sea for transfer of freight by boat between the (wo bi ("fens of railway under roust ruction will roquiro lho servicer of many ice breakers, and thes& af*e being 'count ruet.ed also io bih'v'o an cargo carriers during the winter. IL ,!r; thought Unit the railway connection between Pctrogrud and Kola mny commence early this spring. Thus Moscow, Pctrograil, Kief and Siboriu. will ho linked together with Archangel and Kola. Archangrt prowc-iiU lo lho visitor today a peculiar aspect, reminding one of tho "midden" Canadian towns of (he went that were rrmili'il "ovor nlnhl." A groat, number of housed, f-'hops. etc., have bou put up to accommodate tin? overwhelming Russian business, and to cater to the multitude of Halloi'M. A tramway Ib being conntrm-lcd along the main Klvr-i-t of Iho town nml a complete eectric light and power plant, htm been put \\\i, furnishing power for row gauge line from Archangel to Vologda is very limited. Just outside of Archangel a large fur -farm for breeding blue, white ahd black foxes is an interesting feature. Today Archangel is one of the most important wheat exporting ports of the world, a fact to be kept in mind in calculating the possibilities of Port Nelson and the Hudson Bay route as an outlet for the Western Canadian wheat crop. The United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, and France have their own consulates at Archangel, The United States has no consular representative. Seeking 3 "Non-Rust Wheat Experiments Being Made to Develop a Species of Wheat That Will Resist Rust Experiments are now under way at the Minnesota State Agricultural college which are expected to have a marked effect on the future production of -wheat in Minnesota and the Northwest. The object the experts have set for themselves1 is the development of a species of wheat which shall resist rust. The ineffectiveness of the present" to do this is an annual worry to American farmers and grain dealers, and a source of loss amounting in the aggregate .to many millions of dollars in unfavorable years. The authorities at the Minnesota School of Agriculture are endeavoring to combine two importan������ species of wheat, the blue stem, which is widely grown in the American northwest, and is famous for its prolificacy, arid tlVe' diiruni, equally noted for its- rust-resisting qualities. The United States government and the state of Minnesota have already expended .$30,000 in the work, with important results. The cross has been successful, after ten years of experimentation, - but the college is withholding the new seed from the farmers until certain difficulties have been overcome: Among these is-the poor baking quality of the new species. Until this defect is remedied the cross-strain will not be ^iven to the world. It is understood lhat the hybrid, plant has retained perfectly the high productivity of the blue stem wheat and the sound rust resistivity ot the durum. But the authorities will not , be satisfied until they can bring the new strain up to the proper baking standard. GERMANS PLAN TO GE FOOTHOLD IN AMERICA! War Interrupts Efforts Which May be Resumed When Peace is Declared Extraordinary revelations of reputed plans of Germany to establish ��������� a foothoid in several republics of the western hemisphere, and in the Danish West indies, in defiance of the Monroe doctrine, are in Lhe possession of the committee of foreign relations of the United States senate. The documents in the possession of the committee purport to prove: That Germany sought to establish a sphere of influence in Nicaragua by purchase of the inter-oceanic canal route and the right to establish naval bases. v ' That Germany sought to gain a foothold in Colombia by negotiating for an inter-oceanic canal concession and the purchase of plantations and_ the establishment of a naval base at Cartage *. That Germany gained paramount influence in Paraguay by organizing the army, and is carrying" out .a similar plan in Chile. That Germany sought to gain a foothold in Hayti through control of the customs and the establishment of a naval base at Mole St. Nicholas. That Germany practically controls the island.of St. Thomas by lease from Denmark, and has established there a base of great strategic value, particularly because of its proximity to Porto Rico and the Panama Canal. The committee also has documentary evidence indicating that, although the European war has interrupted the prosecution of these plans, Germany plans to resume the efforts to participate in the affairs in the western hemisphere as soon as peace shall be restored. ulj.;lMin&il ANALYSIS DISCLOSES INTERESTING CONDITIONS Carelessness of Our PeopJe is the Cause of One of the Heaviest Drains Upon Our Resources* and Much Loss Could be Avoided by Exercising Ordinary Precautions An analysis of the fire losses in Can-o ada during 1914, as compiled by the i Monetary Times, discloses some inter- j esting conditions. This statement substantiates and verifies the charge that carelessness is the cause of seventy-five per cent, of Canada's fire loss. * ���������' . It would naturally be expected that the greater number of fires .'would be in factories using power or fires for manufacturing processes, and where accumulations of shavings and other waste are exposed to fire from fric- tioh, spontaneous combustion, or other causes. Such is not the case. By far the | greater number of fires were in build-1 ings in which none of these risks oc- j cur. Factories contributed only 59 fires; various mills only 12; laundries s- engine houses, 1; machine shops, 3; Farm Labor Conditions Solution of Farm Help Problem in Farmers' Own Hands Of the 400 farmers visited last summer in connection with the survey conducted.by the commission of conservation, 15 per cent, employ male help by the year; 11 per cent, by the month; 31 per cent, by the day; the balance employing it in various ways. Sixty-four per cent, employ Canadian born help; 13 per cent. British born help, while two per cent, employ help of alien birth. A large majority report the labor satisfactory, while four per cent, report labor unsatisfactory. Fourteen per cent, employ married men, but only ten per cent, have a house on the farm for the hired man. Unfortunately many of those who have houses are employing single men. and only a few cases were found Germany on Verge of Starvation ' The fact that Germany actually is on the verge of starvation is becoming more apparent daily. The conclusion is not founded on the statements of alleged "neutrals." The- Madgeburg Ische Zeitung predicts a most aeri'ou' situation. "We may expect a new period of hungering* on an extensive scale," it says. "The gigantic burden of taxation which awaits us and the temporary retrogression of our economic life wilt compel every section of the population to screw down their standards of living. We have lived during the past decades much beyond the measure which must be observed in these things." Ammunition is Expensive It Costs More to Shell Than to Build a Town One thing the present war has shown us���������it costs infinitely more to destroy a village-or a town by high explosive shells than it costs to build it. Perhaps the finest instance of. this is Souchez. Souchez; is, as an artillery officer expressed it, "beautifully" destroyed. There is not one stone'''left standing on another; there is not even a whole stone or brick.. Never in the history of war has any village received so many shells as Souchez, and their cost would certainly suffice to build up that village again fifty or a hundred times over. There exists A a certain viaduct which was blown up at the beginning of the war and then repaired by the French at. a cost bf about $70,000. . The Germans disliked that viaduct, and brought up a 420 (17- inch) howitzer, with a battery or so of .220 (fMnch) howitzers, to batter it to pieces. They succeeded, lt took between 50 and 60 .420 shells and nobody troubled to- count the number of .220 shells. But from the calculations that were made there can be little doubt that that particular piece of destruction cost the Germans over $400,000! It is the general opinion among the farmers who have little or no trouble in securing satisfactory help that the solution of the farm help problem is largely in the farmer's own hands, in wages, treatment and hours.���������F.C.N.* in Conservation. sawmills, 12; foundries, 2; Avniie power houses, blacksmith shops and others had a clean record.

There is no use in abusing them. They have got to be educated and stimulated and encouraged. We must bear in mind that the young, unmarried man does not belong to a different race from his elder brother in the thirties or forties or fifties. He is simply in an earlier stage of development. It is to a certain extent an irresponsible stage. The youth takes the world as he finds ij. Many a man of mature age bus said, "I wish 1 had known, Avben 1 was twelve years of age, or eighteen years of age, what the family troubles were. 1 know now, but it's Loo late." Against that kind of useless remorse we should like to protect young men in their teens ami in their twenties. In a few years, when they marry and have families, they will recognize and realize the situation. Rut then it may be too late. Either the Germans will dominate us or the work! will be saved from the Germans by the older men without the aid of ihe younger men of Canada. We sincerely hope thai the younger Canadians will not be placed "in that position. ��������� That married mon are more willing to enlist than young, single men mny seem strange at first. But tlio truth is that the appetite for responsibility grows by what it feeds on. Tho more responsibility a man assumes, the moro ho wants to assume. It Is the family man who is Indignant because of tbo outrages on the women of Belgium, 4ind the murder of English women and bwbios by Zeppelin bombs. In appealing to the young, it Is necessary lo evoke the spirit of adventure, us well as io arouse the sense of responsibility. Ours Is the great adventure of the twentieth century, nnd perhaps of nil the centuries. The world has never before been confronted by such a criminal organization as thai.'of Lho KaSiicr and hlu oMquc, by nny thing so unscrupulous, To fight such a gang Is not, only a duty, bnt n glorious opportunity which tho youth of our huul ought to be glad W> scl/.e. Toronto t'Ui'r. Correspondent Writes of j*s Strength and Efficiency Once when all was peaceful and-G-er- many's future was not threatened on land - or water, Field Marshal von Jloltke stood on the roof of St.~Paul's cathedral and cast his eye over the world's mightiest city and exclaimed; "What" a city to sack." If Admiral von Tirpitz (writes J. C. der Veer, the London correspond1- of the Amsterdam newspaper Der Telegraf) had been our companion as we, on boai'd a destroyer, steamed through part of the British fleet, he would certainly have cried out "What a fleet to sink." Well, his country has now the opportunity to send the whole British fleet to the bottom. According to Gerhard Seelinger one airship could sink the whole business to the sharks. This war will have disillusioned Herr Seelinger, for in practice Zeppelins appear .only to be able to kill women and children. Von Tirpitz has^ never ventured an attack on tbe Brit-" ish fleet. Sic transit gloria mundi Germania. Under water the Germans have attempted many times to reach. the British fleet. In the beginning things looked rather bad. I have heard with my own ears British officers praise the bravery of German submarines, but are they able to do any damage to the sea power of England? The only torpedoed warships were old, ami not capable of much speed. Xo modern British warship has been lost in the North Sea, which has been the fate of certain Teuton submarines' which lie burled in the Band at the bottom of the sea. The Inestimable importance of the fleet in tho world Avar is often underestimated and unappreciated, not only abroad but very often In ils own country. People talk constantly about the British army, but .seldom ever of Britain's proud fleet. T myself cannot conceive conditions in which tho BrltiBh fleet would get the worst of It, not on account of its wonderful tower of strength, but because of the wonderful men who man the vessels. Every now and then some unit���������a division, a squadron, a flotilla, or maybe a group oC smaller vessels���������will exhibit signs of activity. then quicken into movement and pafla out. of the anchorage. The North Sea haa been'constantly swept by somo sections of the grand fleet and not a German vessel of any size has bean seen outside tholr mino yolds sinco Uio beginning of 1915, when they paid so heavily for thoir temerity. Tho ono thought which prevails through nil the British heads is n hope to meet the enemy again. Tho one thought which runs through the Gorman's bond is npparently how to avoid meeting the British lleet. mwwmmmmmmtmmtmmw' Young pine trees in the Dominion Government Nurnory ;it Indian Head, Sasdr, Twoiit,\-ilw: million M'tuiin^N \m\u inTii hunt o.it. to laruu*rH ail over tlio wont in ton yearn.

From a group of 40 birds Mrs. Lidgate gathered exactly 36 eggs one day last week. Some 30 permits have been issued to date to the Creston Indians allowing them to shoot deer for their own needs all year round. With the exception of a few patriarchs the head of every family has now the necessary license to supply his household with venison.
