The Cumberland News was published in Cumberland, in the Comox Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from April 1899 to July 1916. Published by Walter Birnie Anderson, the News served the communities of Cumberland, Courtenay, and Comox Valley, and was eventually absorbed by another Cumberland-based paper, the Islander.

Mr. Hotheriugt"-- followed him into the interior of the house, but Hugh remained on the small verandah,.looking, not at Noah Siddle's* aouse, but at the chimp of .houses to the east, aiid wondering where it was that Eira stayed while she was Here, lie did not like to think o- her living in the midst of ail tnose negroes. Theiv was one house just a little apart fi-om the others. It had a porch on- which a creeper grew, and l*e thought that its garden seemed to liave ,-iuade and brig.iter dowers tha-i the others. He wondered if this was'' where Eira lived, ancl while he was still looking at it Eira he.self cane quietly-round tho corner of the veiaadah where he stood. "Oh," she said, stopping but' evidently not recognizing him, "oh, good 'morning; is .Mr. Dodd back yet, do you know?" "Yes���yes," Hugh stammered, taken aback ut her sudden appear;'nee. There was a lign1, in his eyes that .she���could���not���Lei P���noticing,���and lie, made a little invoiuntary movement towards her. She returned bis *lool; surely as if you liad bean taken by the hand?" "No���why,* what do you mean?" asked Hugh, uncomfortably remembering,that impression he had so -.f- ten had of an unseen influence that shepherded them upon tlieir way. For answer Eira turned again and looked at that odd stone house that stood a little north and east of Dodd's shanty. Hugh understood: "But why?" he asked. "What for?" "Noah oiddle had a son," she answered, ."who was my father. Tliat bad man, vho is your uncle, cheated him out of the great invention he had perfected after years of labor, anc drove him to despair; 1 was only a little child then, but I remember. Well, my grandfather was working on the same thing, but ho could not succeed, and he asked me to . help him to recover tho secret my father had been robbed of, so that all the world might know ��� what niy father did, what he discovered, and how ho was treated. 1 agreed willingly; and by the help of friends I got ilrst of all the, key to the cipher my futher had hidden his secret in, and then tho cipher itself." "I see," said Hugh slowly. "I think I more than half suspected all "this." "1 warned you," she laid passionately, ,-l sent you warnings. Beforo iCleft England I had a dream, ahd 1 thought 1 saw my grandfather sitting planning something against you more strange and terrible than anyone but him could conceive. 1 warned you again; why did you not listen?" "Because " said Hugh, and paused. "Why did you ..come?" she asked once more, with the same intense aud agitated manner. "Why did :-qu come in spite of -all my warnings?" "Do you ask me'that?" he said, looking full at her, and speaking with an agitation of his own. "I thought you were engaged to Miss Hetherington; I thought she had come here with you," said Eira scornfully. "It doesn't matter if she has," said Hugh flushed and sulky, and yet unable to defenui i.imself or to explain that he did not believe h'is, engagement with Delia would ever be carried out. "lt doesn't matter?" Eira 0 repeated. "I thought I hated you once, but now 1 only despise you. I wonder how it is men are 39 light?" "I am not light!" said Hugh, very angry indeed. ��� " ** "Oh. pray don't trouble \o defend yourself," she st:id cuttingly. "1 think I understand ycu very well." "You '.' began -Hugh, but ,. she checked him witli uplifted hand. "All that does not matter in the least," she said; "it is your being here disguised as a negro that frightens me so. I never..heard of that; 1 don't understand why grandfather wanted you to" Co that." "But it wasn't, his idea at all," protested Hugh; '"it was our own." , '���������Y-ou���h--i-ve���had���no���ideas^��� she���re- somewhat haughtily, till on a sudden she understood who ..he wa ..

"You can go," he said. Dodd stood for a moment as if hesitating, and there was something strange in the look he gave at Mr.* Hetherington and Hugh. Perhaps old Mr. Siddie noticed this, for he pointed to the door .with a gesture of impatience'' and command. Clutching last the envelope the old man hau'given him, Dodd left the room; yet once again, on the very thresh AA, he paused to give his two recent companions an ambiguous and yet eager look, a? if there were something tha;-, even at this last moment he would like to tell them.

"Tr.e experiment is on the verge of completion," returned the old man with his chilling and uncanny smile. "You must go with me to niy laboratory now to assist Perhaps you are surp men of your race .to help me, but I have always had a fellow feeling for negroes.

"Rather the experiment to which you are a necessity," replied the old man. "It has only been waiting for you." ��� He motioned to them to follow him, and went i��to the room adjoining.

GREAT BRITAIN CAN FINANCE WAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ACCUMULATION OF GOLD LARGEST IN HISTORY Mr. Lloyd George Explains how the Allied Powers have made Arrangements to help pne Another in the most Expensive War that has ever been Waged In a -statement explanatory of the Errangenient made at the conference etween the finance ministers of France and Russia . and himself in faris the Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George told the house of commontj that tho expenditures of the allies on the war would be two billion pounds Bterling ($10,000,000,000) during the current year, of which Great Britain was spending more money than wero her two allies. The present war, Mr.vLloyd George Bald, waB the most expensive in material, men and money, that had ever been waged. Great1' Britain, the chancellor of the exchequer told the house of commons, could finance the war ..for five years out of the iroceeds of her investments abroad. France was able, to do so for about two or three years with something to spare. Rus- &ian, he said, although prodigiously rich in natural resources, was in a abroad, and the some thing had applied to France. "I am not sure we realize the strain upon this gallant country," the chancellor of .the exchequer coutinued. "She has had a larger porportion of her men in the "field and the enemy in occupation of the richest part of her territory. Nevertheless, the confidence of the French nation Btrikes every visitor to Paris. There is to be seen a calm and sincere courage supposed to be'incompatible, with.the and tempernient of tho Celt, and one hears the general assurance that the German army haa as much chance of, . crushing France as of ..overrunning their origin-in excessive drinking- The Russian Moral Triumph Now Shining Before the World United In Two Noble Determinations A note to the. Russian budget bill furnishes a remarkable illustration of the social and economic advantages which sobriety���������even compulsory sobriety���������brings to a community. In referring to the effect of the war ���������on industry, the finance minister says that except in districts directly affected by the war. there has been no sensible diminution in the industrial output. Thef reason given is the increased productivity of the worker owing to the suppression of the sale of alcohol. ���������'This .increased productivity has reached from thirty to fifty per cent, and compensates largely for the diminution in* the number of workers due to the call to the colors." Assuming that Russian human nature does not differ materially from our own���������and judging by Mr. Stuart Deacon's remark that his morning b work in the police court of a city where the. selling of drink is practically unrestricted' was a nightmare because of the number of cases having German Blockade lJHE DELUSION OF GERMANY AND DREAM OF WORLD-WIDE EMPIRE Right Hon. D. Lloyd George different position. Mi. Lloyd George said Jt Was decided at ilu- conference of the finance mini iters in j.Jaris not to issue a joint loan. The chancellor' said thr.t Russia had increased her product.vlty from 20 to 40 per cent, by surpressiny' the sale of vodka. Russi-, had had special difficulties In financing hor purchases Mars." "Each ally must bring Its resources Into the common stock," Mr. Lloyd George contluued. "War cannot be made under limited liability principles. Tho conference dismissed the idea of a joint international loan, which would have.frightened every Bourse, and it hat been decided that, each' country should raise the money it needed within its own territories, so far as conditions allowed. But if. help were needed for purchases abroad those who ��������� had means would .help lo the best of their power. The only joint loan would be with respect to the advances made or to be made to the, smaller of the allied states. , With regard to Russian purchases, the chancellor -.aid it had been decided that' the " first ������50,000,000 for this purpde . should be raised in equal amounts on the Paris and London markets. Russian treasury bills to the amount of ������10,000,000 Issued In London In the last few days had- been oversubscribed. Mr..Lloyd George said there was a satisfactory amount of gold in London.- "If, Jiowever, our gold reserves fall below a certal-. point���������a pretty high point���������the banks of France and Russia will come to our assistance," he remarked. He mentioned incidentally that the allies would have to see that Belgium did not suffer when the perlo'd -of restoration and compensation came. . The' chancellor laid emphasis-on the,, fact that the'allies must be prepared to contribute proportionately to the loans needed by the states prepared to Join them later as well as the smaller states now fight- <tuy_ the allies. Great Britain, he^ jsaidrhad���������advancecr~Ji;"3J!,"0"0"0;u00~~"for Russian purchases in Great Britain and elsewJiere and Russia had a credit of ������40,000,000 in London. France also had made advances to Russia for other similar purchases outside of the Russian empire. After alluding to the fact that tho accumulation of gold in Great Britain was' the largest In the history of the country, Lloyd George, added that Frarce and Russia also had accumulated great reserves, which had been barely, touched during the war. Arrangements had be^n made regarding purchases by th allied countries in neutral markets whereby competition was eliminated', efficiency was promoted and delays were prevented. this increased industrial activity tn Russia is certain to.be accompanied by a decrease ln crime, accident, disease and mental weakness. Russia never did a braver" thing or achieved a finer triumph thau when she abolished the state sale of alcohol. By one word the Czar, who has always been a firm and earnest advo-~ cate of temperance, decreed , that never more should the unrestricted sale of strong drink take place in his vast empire. With the boldness of a righteous cause the Czar swept away at a stroke a state income of some ������80,000,000 a year, and,- of course, the chancellor1 of the exchequer had to find this elsewhere. He did so by increasing almost all taxes, from land and house3 to matches and cigarette papers, and on the liquors sold under comprehensive restrictions from three to six times" the former duties have been imposed. Vodka selling price has been raised to 15s. a gallon, as against about 6s. 3d.; and the malt excise from 33. to 7d. a pood to 19s. By, means of these Increases a great portion of the deficit is wiped out, some little margin being left for the economic gains that always follow when, drink money is spent on better things. Whatever Russia may have been in the past, she is,now shining before the world united in two noble determinations. She has*-set out to help her allies in freeing the world from the , evil domination of the horrible German ideal���������a cause whlcJi the Greek minister tn London, in his remarkable declaration of friendship fcr England, described as just and good for the whole world���������and she is ensuring for her own people-a sobriety -which,���������as���������well���������the���������Gzar���������kno'vv-s,���������can- lead only to the attainment of that democratic freedom which "can be5 kept back no longer when a drinking people become a thinking people.��������� Liverpool Post.

Napoleon's famous "paper" blockade of the British Isles, which was established' by his 'Berlin decree of November 1, 1806, was a move made by him to compel England to recognize the maritime law as constructed at the Peace of Utrech. The policV was known as the 'continental, system." J* **��������� The blockade was designed to shut Great Britain off entirely from, tho continent of Europo. lt prohibited all commerce and correspondence from Britain; all Englishmen found ln couutries controlled by French troops wore made prisoners of war; all merchandise possessed by Englishmen was made lawful prize and all trade in English goods was entirely prohibited. - No ship from Britain or its colonies was permitted to, enter any port and any ship seeking to evade this regulation by faise declarations was seized with its cargo. Three months later England, in retaliation, forbade all neutral vessels from trading port to port within France or any allied country. Confiscation of vessel and cargo was the penalty. Napoleon responded with a decree a few days later ordering the confiscation of All English owned merchandise in Germany. ������������������ In November, 1807, England declared all ports in France, allied countries and other countries, not at war, but from whose "ports the English flag was excluded, to be under the same restrictions as if they were strictly blockaded. - " - ��������� ��������� ������������������ Two weeks after the French answered with the.Milan decree, and early in 1808 with another Issued from Tuil- lerles,, directing that any ship that had submitted to British search, beon sent on a voyage-to Britain or paid duty to that country was to be'considered British and liable to capture. ,At the treaty of Tilsit, Russia consented to close her ports to "Britain, the more effectually to annihilate British commerce. The consequence of tbe continental system was giving industries on the continent a start as latter .day competitors of England, but prices rose so heavily that the middle classes were severely inconvenienced. However, both politically and economically the continental system was a mistake. Russia abandoned- it in 1810. It resulted in the breaking up of Napoleon's power. ' Britain's enforcement of its blockade rulings offended the United States and formed' one of the principal causes.of the war-in 1812. ; DESIRE HAS BEEN CHERISHED FOR MANY YEARS Dr. Eliot, of Harvard University, j says that Germany has had Ambitions to become a World Power since 1870, and has Ever since been Working to this End Naval Losses at "Threo weeks ago ho was turn ished with peasant clothes to replace his uniform, and he Iuaiburod off Into tho night to mako h's way past tuo tho Vl'knor,'*. hos������* loss wns presumed Germany's Comparative Losses Sea Far Outnumber That of Britain One aspect of Germany's naval losses has been quite overlooked���������the seriou^ decrease in personnel' which they have entailed.

As the total effective strength of the *;>orsonnel of the Gorman navy beforo the war broko out was, less than 80,000, the death roll already amounts to about one-seventh of tho wholo.

Ho mild Uo did not know how to thank mo." , In the January Issue of the Fra appears tho notable contribution to tho literature of the war by Dr. Charles W. Eliot, * president emeritus of Harvard Uuiversity. Dr. Eliot brushes aside the incidents of tho murder of the Austrian Archduke and the friction between Servii and Austria and Austria and Russia and asserts thut tho prime source of the present Immense disaster Is the desire on tho part of Germany for world-empire. This desire, he says, has been chor- ished at different times by oue European nation after another and none that- has once adopted t has ever completely eradicated it. Prussia long hold this ambition, but was unable to gratify lt until 1870,���������becauso the German people had been divided since the Thirty Yeai3' War Into a* large number of eparate, more or less independent states. Shortly before the achievement of German unity by Bismarck she had obtained by war in 1864 and 180G important accessions to territory, "'. This contributed to tho delusion that was soon to seize the whole German people, namely, the belief that world-empire was only to be obtaineo by force of arms. Therefore, says Dr. Eliot, united Germany has- labored with utmost Intelligence and energy to prepare the most powerful army in the world and to equip It for instant action in the most perfect manner that science and eager invention could contrive. To develop the supreme- military machine, univers'ail conscription���������an outgrowt-i of n the conception of the citizens' army during the Revolution���������wns necessary; so that every young man in Germany physically competent to bear arms might receive the training of a soldier, whether he wished it or not, and, remain at tbe call of the government for military duty during all his years of competency even If h3 were the only son of a widow, or a widower with little children, or the sole support of a family or other dependants. . Eventually the German army was made the largest, according to population, in tbe work., and the irost efficient. It. was placed absolutely at the disposal of the Kaiser, whose mere word would march It at a day's notice*, to any frontier without any sanction from the Reichstag or.any other .supposed representative of public opinion. At the opening of 191-1 the-Germafl-general-staff���������was-of-ooiu������- lon" that the German army was the best and-most powerful in the world, and that it would do it's 'Share toward bringing true the German ambition toward world-empire. In'" the view ot Dr. Eliot, the*German navy was not ready, and'knew that-It was ��������� not ready, to throw down the gauntlet to Britain, it needed a few years more before lt could accomplish on the sea what was confidently expected of the army on land. Thorefore ' six, months ago Germany egged Austria on in the belief that .Britain would not go to war. Her army th*' ��������� considered to be, with tho assistance of the Austrian army, moro than ft , match for the land forces of France and Russia, and her navy was strong . enough to cope with those of the Double Entente." Britain's ontry Into the war was. something sho had never calculated upon. Dr. Eliot continues to expound the German religion of valor, and to show how It Is a contradiction of the religion of Jesus of Nazareth. Ho then discusses the German contention that the present war is waged as a defence against Russia. He'gays: "German*" has never dreaded or even respected lho military strenfth of Russia, and the recent wars and threatenings ot ��������� war by Germany have not been dt ��������� rected against Russia;* but " against Denmark, Austria, France ..nd England, ln her colonization enterprlflee J it is not Russia that Germany haa encountered' but, England, France and the United' States.- The friendly advances made within the last twenty years by Germany to Turkey were not intended primarily to strengthen Ger. many against Russia, but Germany against Great Britain by Germany's access by land to India.''^ , - Dr. Eliot says that- tho desirable- outcomes of the war are: "No world- empire i'or any race or nation, no more subjects, -ao more executives, either permanent or temporary, with powor to throw their fellow-country- - men into war, no secret diplomacy justifying the "us*; for a profit of al! the lies, concealments, deceptions and ambuscades which,, aro an Inevitable part of war and assuming to commit nations od international questions, and no more conscription armies that can be'launched .a war by'executives ' \vithoiit consulting Independent representative assemblies.- He bollcvoo with Havel jck Ellis' and other noted public, mon that some sort of federated Europe or league of the freer na. tions which would secure the smalle? nations against attack should bo ono of'the outcomes of the'w*ar. He,ad������ jiilts-that-at���������tne��������� present���������tlme,������!t-l8-Ins-- posslble to say how such a consummation ,13 to be brought about, but lf it is not. accomplished or something that will serve the same purposo, tha war will have been fougbt in vain. How Aviators Take Aim Charms on Soldier3 Methods Followed In Dropping Bombs Strance "Protection" Found on Cap- and Locating the Target | - tured Germans A year ago.Lieut, Varcin, of the "Eye-Witness," in a"despatch frona Freuch army, from a height of over , the front, has seme-thing to say about 800 feet,, struck a target with his bombs 13 times out of lf������ trials. Tho target had a diameter of about 70 feet. This Is rather remarkable, when the fact is taken into consideration, that Varcin not only hurled these bombs himself, but acted as his own pilot. The method of working is as follows; The hood of thu machine, which is usually of canvas, has an opening in front so as to give the aviator u view ahead. At IiIb feet ,ho may look straight down. Thus his vision 'covers everything ahead and below. At tho aviator's right Is a steel bomo holder. Thla remains closed until the aviator, by bringing his log io ono sido, i..'ops taut a connecting cord attachod to tho end of tlu hold- et, This opens the holler, re.easing the bomb. Tho apparatus at once closes, a, second' sholl moanllmo replacing tho first. Tho matter of aiming is not qulto so simple, Across tho hole, directly beneath tho aviator, . is Hfretched a cord divided Into equnl parts hy various colorB, rod, bl'io, etc. In front of the aviator Is stretchod a cord agaliiPt which he rests liis head while ho altiiH, An ho alms, moar.tlmo looldng at tho colored Hocttons of tho cord below to glvo him a moans of sluht- ing, ho suddenly Jerks his leg, tinui dropping tho bomb, That Is the method Ucut.
