With an energy and desperation that Sam has carried with him since the days of the Fenian ^aid ho fought the blaze for three long hours, burning his neck and hands. At last, dripping with water and perspiration he retired from action after snaking his belongings out of the burning building.

Oscar Lachmund examined the United Copper at Chewelah last week. The Noble Five at Cody is driv ing a tunnel on the No. 1 group, Reco hill. The Consolidated is examining some copper propositions in Highland "Valley. 3 In the Slocan, the Reco has more than two miles of tunnels, raises and crosscuts. A purse of $500 for the best rock drillers will be given July 4, afe Wallace, Idaho. There are still millions of tons of ore in Phoenix, and some day it will all be taken out. In the Peace river country indications point to an oil belt 12 miles wide and 300 miles in length. A company has been formed in Duncan, with a capital of $50,000, to mine manganese at Hill 60. In addition to lead, the Sullivan in East Kootenay produces about 12000 tons of zinc ore a month. The Trail smelter turns out 75 tons of spelter daily, which is more- than the Canadian market takes. - A movement is on foot to have silver're-monetized. That wonld give ife a standard price of $1.29 an ounce. Oil has been found afe Clo oose, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and several claims have been staked. Oil shales and porous dolomites gtve forth oil springs at Great Slave Lake, and the lower McKenzie river. Some wells will be drilledjhis summer.- ��� - There are 37,000 square miles of peat in Canada, bufe the production only-amounts to a few hundred tons. Europe uses for fuel 20,000,- 000 tons of peat every year. In the small oil fields south of Calgary five wells are producing petroleum.- The product is 50 per cent., or more gasolene. One well flows, three are pumped, and the others flow at intervals. In B. C, at the mouth of the Fraser river, and in fehe Flathead valley Tertiary Ijeds are being examined for oil. The conditions of deposition are different from fehoae found in Southern California. Last year fehet Crow's Nest Coal Co., produced 681,942 tons of coal, and 183; 771 tons of coke.

Many women enter this term under depressing conditions through overwork, worry or a neglected condition of the blood, and so thcy suffer heavily. Still, variations of health at this time can be relieved by home treatment. Among thc commonest symptoms arc headaches and pains in thc back and sides, fever-flushes, palpitation, dizziness and depression. Women stand in need of rich, red blood all their lifc, but never more so than in middle age, when the nerves are. also weak and over-wrought. Now every woman can prove the prompt help afforded to her- health by renewing her blood supply. It is a test that any ailing woman can make by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for these pills make, rich, red blood, which in turn helps the appetite, strengthens the nerves and restores robust health. Thousands of women have found in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the means by which new health and a brighter outlook of life, were gained. In proof of this is the voluntary testimony of -Mrs. J-l. S. Peterson! Mil- ford, Om., who says: "I have suffered great ly from those troubles that alllict my scn, aud I have found lhat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such cases not only .Jo all that is claimed for them, lint more.

Goat Breeders' Association, held in Victoria early this month. Seventy entries were paraded around thc show ring, Saa- nens being in the majority, while Tog- genburgs wcrc also very well represented. In tbe opinion of Dr, Knight, who acted as judge, tltc standard of billies and nannies at the exhibition far surpassed anything ever brought together in Western Canada. It was only after considerable hesitation thaT lie picked thc winners in a number of classes, merit on points being practically even between the contestants. Dr. Knight officiated in the stead of Dr. Kansom, of Vancouver, who was unable to attend because thc strike had tietl up all shipping between the main- kind and the capital. A few years ago the goat class at the British Columbia exhibitions could not be considered a serious attraction. Indeed, it was all'but classified as a joke, aud the few specimens shown were by no means representative of the better class of animals.

Thc cost of living has now reached a height where even men of moderate incomes are beginning to worry how to make ends meet, while the man on small salary and the workmanMcpcnd- ing on his daily or weekly wage is becoming almost desperate in his struggle to feed, clothe and keep a roof over the heads of himself, wife and children. There can bc no question, of course, that it was not possible for the civilized nations of thc world lo turn their activities and energies for four and a half ycars, from the work of peaceful production and trade, into thc terrible business' of war and wholesale, destruction of lifc and property without such loss in production, and destruction of existing wealth and properly, having the effect of increasing the cost of all articles that wcrc made and produced. Under the circumstances, an increase was natural and inevitable, and, if tlicrc wcrc no other artificial .contributing causes, the people would grin and bear it as one of the prices of victory and thc securing of the future liberty and peace of thc world. Unfortunately, however, selfish interests, lacking thc first elements of patriotism in their make-up,' took advantage of the world upheaval and.the necessities of tlicir country and.. all mankind engaged in a life and death struggle for their-very"independence- and existence^ to control and manipulate tlie lifc iieccssitics of thc masses of the people in such a manner as to ^ pile up enormous profits and wealth for themselves. These men and corporations took full advantage of the abnormal conditions existing to accumulate abnormal profits for themselves, utterly callous of the effect on their fellow citizens and country. These soulless individuals, and corporations dicUthis at, a timc when all the energies and thought of thc Government -were centered on thc tremendous, task thrust upon it of prosecuting thc war to a victorious-end, and when it was, therefore, no easy matter to" keep a close .check upon their operations. ' The war. is now- over and won, ending in', a triumphant victory for democracy, civilization, and human rights and liberty. It is;'therefore, nowthc lirst aud chief .-business and duly- of the Government of Canada to grapple with tliis problem, put a slop to till excessive -profiteering, and bring down the cost of.living in this .country.

The plan failed, because of differences of opinion between the government and the army leaders, thc correspondent says. A report from Geneva Thursday night said tlr.lt' Herr Schcidemann had arrived in Switzerland after crossing the frontier on foot. The last proposal made by thc conspirators, planning to oppose the- allies, it is said, was to ask Poland . to combine wilh eastern Germany in the formation of an independent republic.

Details of the secret plan to.create a separate state in northeastern Germany are revealed by. the Dah- ��� zig correspondent of the Tageblatt, - who says it was thc intention to cooperate with thc Grand Duke of Mecklenberg in the establishment of either a republic or a. monarchy lo Policy Of The Allies In Russia A Strong Russian Democracy.

The-plan was disclosed, it is added, when various generals interested had a conference withythe government leaders at-Weimar. General Groc- ner, the chief commander, it is declared, was the first to decide to abandon thc plan. Malhias Erzberger, head of the Gcrmatv-armislicc commission, also was involved.

Minus its sash the dress Is but the simplest ot ,. shart-sleevod, straight-skirted models. Plus Its sash, It keeps one. guessing: as to the secret of lu indefinable charm. The' girdle, mark you. doesn't bo the usual way of a girdle. Ther* I* real cut to it. More, explicitly, it Is a wee "veflt". that- extends to gash proportions at each side. The same" tUln�� occurs in back,- and the'-meeting: ot the four sash ends results in the twin bow- -ing- : ' "' .

Now, bcliold.lt featured on the most innocent of dresses, and always -with Ineffable grace and charm. This last -model, so smartly devoid of obvious trimming, expressed in satin would b��V* .the very most distinctive little tube that ever happened on a dance floor. In the matter of cut it can't bo strictly tube and bloomered at the same time. But done in soft satin, and made no wider than is necessary to include some bit of gathering at the bottom, It may be depended upon to- effect the straight-' up-and-down-line in a uniquely "attractive -way.

These are all essentials���but life success of the town in these instances is almost wholly commercial. These interests become individual��� selfish. The big purpose and thc strong spirit of co-operation are lost. The contest for business often results in bitter strife.

And- the tractors signalize an . invasion, which is not likely to be any.1 such .-"temporary matter as Avas the visit of "the' King of Epiriis and his army, These, machines are .making Apulia over from;a frontier grazing region, devoted by ttn- progrcssive landholders to the casual raising of flocks, into what an Italian writer describes as a veritable Canadian wheat garden. They are helping to solve thc European food problem. But more than that, thcy arc causing a social regeneration, or, rather, thc government is doing so, by urging the landholders lo recognize thc modern co-operative order of things and to do tlicir share in rehabilitating, the world. The government, by this program, is clearly doing much the same thing tliat the ancient Roman Republic, in the proctorship of Lucius .Postuinius, did, when it compelled the Apulian shepherds to desist from robbery and to pay homage to the law.

A letter recently appeared in'7'.tlie London Times from Prof. \\V.7.Ef> Vander Sinissen, of the University of Toronto,.now'nfsidcnt in England, in illicit he pointed out that it was neither the American-owned Savannah nor the British steamship Sirius or Great Western, but the Canadian- owned and built Royal William which was the first vessel propelled by steam to cross the Atlantic. ;. From lime ��� to time disputes have ariseu--:.on this question, and Prof- Vandcr Smisscii recalls that in 1S94 the Earl of Aberdeen, as Governor- General, at the time the inter-Colonial ..Conference was in Ottawa, unveiled a tablet placed on the wall.of one of the corridors of the Parliament Building;! inscribed with the details of the Royal William's performance. The burning of the buildings early in the war. destroyed this lab.lct, .whicli it is hoped will bc replaced. Prof. Vander Sjuis- scn says that the Royal William- was designedby Wx. .lames Goudic, a native of Quebec. Her' builders were Messrs. Campbell and Black, of that city; she was cngined in Montreal, and before making her nfcmorable trip'from Quebec, via Piclou, N.S., to London in August, 1838, had traded between Quebec, Halifax and Boston. She was bought'by.' the Portugese Government and re-named, and later served as a Spanish warship under thc name of Isabel Scguuda.' She had a length of 176 feet, a width between the paddle boxes of 28 feet, and a gross tonnage of f,370. - The'Royal William -was not a large vessel, but.she made the record of ber ing first to cross'tlie Atlantic-.wholly by m-ea'ns^of steam.

Round the British Isles, in-.the Mediterranean, and off thc Murman coast .are rich fields for the salvage service as well as private enterprise. In the North Sea the water is too deep to make an3r considerable success, but in shallower water not only cargoes but ships arc being salved. Sonic!-of the sunken vessels contain huge fortunes'in gold or goods. One is known to have carried $5,000,000 in gold. The diver sent down to work on her borrowed the key to the ship's strong box, but it is not recorded whether he retrieved the gold. If the divers after "an investigation decide to attempt to float the ship, barges are moored over her at low J tide. Nine-inch wire ropes are then passed under it and fastened lo the barges above. As the tide rises the barges rise with it, bringing the ship along as it lies in the great wire cradle. The damaged ship is then towed into shallow water and the necessary repairs made. In the case pf vessels only partly submerged, compressed air is sometimes pumped inTo her hold,, driving out the water while the ship slowly floats lo the surface- Occasionally it is-necessary,, where the hole is not too large, to make a great patch, float it over the hole, and then fasten it sufficiently light in position until the ship can be pumped out and floated. One vessel was torpedoed in the Channel, but almost reached the shore before it went dtfwn. .^Whcn it finally sank it was expbscd.at low tide and not so very .far.-from a railroad- Heavy locomotives pulled the vessel It is considered, that Mr. Dollar's i���t0 a perpendicular position/and the knowledge, of Pacific routes and' possibilities is second to none, and.while his ���discussions.will bc general in nature they will no doubt bring forth ;some phases extremely valuable to Canada,, and -particularly lo Western Canada. Mr. Dollar is president of the National Trades' Council of the United Stales, and one of the most active workers for American foreign trade. Sir Edmund Walker, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, is vessel was finally refloated While these salvage operations have been rcmuncralivaly successful, leaders in the industry declare 'that it is next to impossible to save a ship h'ing in water deeper than her masts, and that very many ships will never be brought to the surface. But thcy do not despair as to-the cargo if the-ship lies in less than 200 feet of water. Divers can operate with comparative ease at that depth. ;���'-', Many sailors recently- demobilized Korean Atrocities Not Exaggerated Opinion Expressed By Dr. William Elliot Griffis Washington, District of Columbia. ���That the stories of reported Japanese atrocities in Korea have not been exaggerated, was the opinion expressed in an interview by Dr. William Elliot Griffis, who organized the first public schools on the west coast of Japan in 1870, and who is in close touch -with far eastern affairs, and es- peciall3r thc movement to render Korea independent of the government of Tokio. Dr. Griffis took part in the Korean rally held in Washington. His statement was as follows: "The stories of the outrages perpetrated by the Japanese in Korea have I am sure been in no way exaggerated. As published in thc press, thcy have for the most part emanated from people who are known to me personally, and they bear strong evidence of truth- In addition lo the evidence published, I have received overwhelming proof in piivate letters from friends as well as in direct conversation with recent arrivals from Korea-''. "Up to the time of Marquis Ito's entrance in public life, Japan had been for a score of years a student on American methods.

Fishermen Are Now Becoming Rich Now Have Their Town and Country Houses and Motor Cars Hull, England. ��� Fortunes from fish are bemg piled up by skippers operating'out of Hull. All through the war their profits were so tremendous that they now constitute a kind of local plutocracy. They have town houses and country houses and garages filled with motor cars. -There arc now about ninety skippers working their ycssels out of this port. ..Tlfc majoiity are rough sailors, with a rule-of-tluimb knowledge of navigation, arid curious ideas about the best -.way- to spend' their huge earnings. For several years many of them have been netting from $40,000 to $50,- 000 annually.. One is said to have averaged close on to $60,000. A record is held by the skipper of a-trawler which last fall made the Ireland" voyage twice within six weeks, returning from the first trip with a"little less than $100,000 worth of'1 fish,.'and from the second with a little more than that amount. The skipper's-nct profit from thc two trips was something like $20,000. The second voyage lasted only 'seventeen days." -Owners of the fishing craft, who take none of the risks the skippers face, make even more money. A boat which " "hardly would' have ��� been ��� thought-.worth sending to sea before tlic war can bc counted on r.ow -to bring in net-profits at the rate of more than .$1(KX000 -a year. Wild speculations arc; going on in trawlers, the boats- changing hands at ridiculous prices.. ..'.', ,.-.'. . .'It' is p. gamble against time, for when the'-trawlers now engaged in niitic-swccpiiig arc released from that work the fishing fleet will be tripled and (ish profits vill drop accordingly. Canada And Basic Rules For Labor Federal Government Favors dullest Discussion of All Differences Ottawa. ��� The Toronto Central Strike Committee recently drew the attention of the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, to the declarations of the basic ideas relating .to labor as enunciated by the peace terms. The committee put this question to the Premier: "Why is common labor forced to strike to obtain what we understand to be internalionallv recognized?" Sir Robert in reply dispatched the following message: "The position of the government was fully explained to thc delegation from Toronto as well as in my observation in the House of Commons. I madc it clear that the federal government favor* a full recognition of labor as well as the fullest discussion of all differences between employers and employed. The hours of employment and the conditions of labor have been the subject of provincial legislation in every province in Canada with the possible exception of Prince Edward Island. Thc Dominion government recognizes the principles embodied invthe peace treaty in so far as they come within the jurisdiction of the federal parlia.-? ment, and is prepared to submit measures for the purpose of carrying Ihent out." The peace conference at Paris took steps with respect to labor. I- thc first place, it included in the peace terms themselves a declaration of rules which all industrial communities should endeavor to apply so far as their special circumstances would permit. That declaration opening with the statement that "Labor should not be regarded merely as a cjoinmodity or article of commerce," affirmed the right of association for all lawful pur- ��� poses by the employed as well as the employers, and indorsed the eight- hour day or 48-hour week, the weekly rest day of at least 24 hours, the abolition of child labor and the view that men and women should receive ��� equal remuneration for work of equal value. Furthermore, thc peace conference provided machinery for the holding of international labor conventions, to recommend legislation for the welfare of the workers. The,iirst of these conventions is to take place at Washington, District of Columbia, this year- It is the duty of thc governments of the respective countries represented at these gatherings to bring recommendations madc by the delegates before the proper legislative authorities. It is conceivable that in Canada the Dominion government would be called upon to submit certain recommendations of the labor convention to the Dominion parliament. Inasmuch, however, as jurisdiction to legislate in regard to property and civil rights and contracts has bden confided to the provincial legislatures by the British North America Act, recommendations dealing with houis of' labor would have to be referred to the provincial legislatures. The argument that the power to deal with the subject and hours and conditions of labor re-sts with the provincial authorities is supported, as Sir Robert Borden notes in his message to the Toronto Central Committee, by the fact that in eight of the provinces, that is, in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Sco- lia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, statutes on that very topic have already _bee_u_enacted and are in_ force. An opportunity will probably be given for a full dress debate on the strike situation in Canada. "'I Britain Shows Her Gratitude Austria's.

Millions Were Spent On Troop Transport Movement of Soldiers on Government Railways Cost Nearly ' .$15,000,000 Toronto.���Troop movements oa the Canadian National railways alone from August, 1914, until May 31 last, cost thc government between $10,000,* 000 and $15,000,000. According to statistics at the Canadian national office* the total number of troops moved in all camp and ieaport transfers eatt of Winnipeg- was 1,108,081. The eetimat* of cost is based on a calculation of cost "of $10 or $15 pcr man, which ��� would be extremely low, as some of, the movements were from the west.

No fewer than 1,191 spe~ 'cial trains were required for the gigantic task, and the special train miles totalled 803,359. From December 1, 191S, when demobilization began, down to May 31, 1919, there were handled by special trains out of Halifax 153,609, and by regular train 17,680, a total of 171,289- For thc incoming troops so fa - $53 special trains- have been required for 1 a total mileage of 303,515. -0"nc.;W.ay*.-.'to humble a" man's,;!pride is .to-present li;ms"with.'a" lite "srzci'cray"- on po rt r.ii.t t ��� o f '= li i ins cl f- -..iti a de -'.by.

The Unexplored Parts Of Canada Matter of Natural Resources Has Become of the Utmost Importance When the country has returned from thc way of thc war to the path of peace thc government may sec its way clear to resume thc exploration of unknown Canada. With thc heavy burden of debt now resting on thc nation, thc matter of its natural resources has become of thc utmost importance. To these wc must look for the means of meeting the national obligation and of attracting population and capital. Exploration and prospecting, too, should provide a strong lure for many of thc returned men who shared in the great adventure in Europe. Apart from thc pica- cure of discovery, the quest is not without more tangible rewards, besides affording one avenue of escape from thc difficulty of finding employment for returned men who havc no skilled trade at their fingers' f.-nds, but possess both grit and intelligence.

Killing- "Death Watch" Method of Attacking Distinctive In- ' sects With Liquid Gas Hundreds of returned Canadian soldiers will have noticed during their visits to the house of parliament (writes a correspondent) thc huge scaffolding which completely obscures thc handsome oaken roof of Westminster Hall. Thcy will have wondered, too, at thc reason for this unsightli- ncss in one of Britain's "show places." The reason is easy of explanation. The scaffolding which has been there for five years and is likely to remain for another three, is due to the fact that workmen have long been fighting a campaign against an insect known as thc wood-boring "death watch" beetle. Battalions of these insidious insects have for years been attacking the wonderful oaken beams, but the work of destruction was noticed in the nick of time. Liquid gas attacks by expert workmen wearing masks go on day after day, ami their work i.s supplemented by others who are shoring up and strengthening the massive beams.

Hawker's career as a pilot, covering nine years, has revealed an ability to draw a line between sheer recklessness and prudent daring which has been at once thc amazement and despair of his fellow flying men. Perhaps the secret of it is that what would bc recklessness in another has in his case simply been good craftsmanship, because of his consummate skill and wonderful nerve and physical vitality. His record as an aviator is one of astonishing and almost uninterrupted success. Hawker was a lad in Australia, his native land, when flying was in its infancy in England. His natural tastes turned him to motor-engines, and his love of adventure carried him to England in company with a half-dozen other young Australians. Two at least of his companions gained distinction in thc land of their adoption. These wcrc Lieut.-Col. Harry Burstcd and Major Eric Harrison, who became aviation officers. The boys brought their savings in their pockets and, once in thc motherland,; sought employment as mechanics. Hawker'speedily found a service made undoubtedly the largest [berth. with'T.- O. M.

This statement was made by Lieut. Nitttall, of the steamer Aloticttc, which has reached here from Scapa Flow, where the German ships were sunk. "I pulled alongside a German de- thc peace to be signed at Versailles any more enduring peace than resulted from the treaty of Vienna. Former Premier Niels Nccrgaard, at a recent secret meeting of thc Danish Rigs- dag, offered strong opposition to thc proposed plebiscite in thc third or southern zone of Schleswig, and indicated that conflicts of interest among the great powers would continue and that events might occur which would seriously alter the existing system. In an authorized interview, Ovc Rode, the Danish minister of the interior;'while expressing keen gratitude that the coming peace will unite thc Danish part of Schleswig with Denmark, expressed the indentical opinion voiced by the former premier. Hc stated that the Danish government wished thc plebiscite limited to north and central Schleswig. This part of thc former duchy, hc explained, is not inhabited by Danes, but by Germans, who .even before the war showed stroyer when I saw thc ship begin to. settle," said Lieut.-NuttalI, and order-j themselves of hostile mind towards ed Germans back to close the sea-1 Denmark. Mr. Rode feared "that, cocks. Four or live of them turned, j partly owing to the unsettled condi- whercupon the German oflicers shot! tions 'in, Germany and partly to ppliti- thrcc of them/lead. Wc then opened j cal plans to kee}) the former duchy fire on the officers and several of them of Schleswig undivided, the German Unnamed Heiresses in fell. Others among thc Germans then returned and closed the seacocks. Thc Germans- were also driven back to four or five other destroyers; thcy closed thc seacocks in timc to keep lhe vessels afloat." Lieut; Nultall reports that thc Em- den has been pumped out and is now afloat. Thc Baden's crew were forced back lo that vessel and compelled to shut thc seacocks. "Directly thc first red flag and German ensign were hoisted on the first battleship," hc added, "thc German admiral put off in a motor boat post-haste fcp the' British air station ashore. He stated that the German ships avcrc sinking and-requested assistance for the crews. ' The admiral was arrested. Naval men ��� believe that thc trip was a-"ruse to lead-to the belief'tliaUlhe- crews i\\'crc taking charge of the-ships. This, however, mechanic-- and a. lad of intelligence, was not substantiated by wli;u"'aelii- inhabilants. might bc induced to vote for a union with Denmark, not because they intended to become Danes, but to preserve the whole duchy with a predominant German population. That there is reason for this fear is evident, since South Schleswig^Jias only 150,000 Danes against 3,400,000 Germans. Denmark wants no future cause of offence on this score.

In 1917'there was one society in the province, which, during that year, issued loans amounting to $16,000. Last ycar loans 'totalling $215,581-wcrc issued through ten societies, while, this year $851,925 has been appropriated for loans through thirty-six societies. Fourteen other societies will soon bc actively operating, and loans ih rough these will soon bring the total for lhe year past the million dollar mark. It is of interest to note that the largest amount of money borrowed through these societies for any one purpose is for thc breaking of new land. This amounts- this year lo $233,792, or nearly 25 per cent, of the total. It is computed lhat litis sum will provide for the. bringing under cultivation of 30.0U0 acres of virgin prairie. Most of this land is In northern Alanitoba, and the 'exports expect lhal in 1920 it may produce. 600,- 000 bushels of wheat. Al an average price of $1.50 a bushel one crop from tliis land would pay all the credits which have been granted this year. The sum of $137,300 is provided for the buying of livestock, including cal tic, horses, sheep and hogs, but chiefly the first two named. Many carloads of stockers and breeding cattle havc been returned to thc country froni the Winnipeg stockyards through thc instrumentality of the rural credit societies and are now In con- A Square Deal One Thing Alone Will Bring Back Normal Conditions One thing, and one thing alone, will bring back, not the old so-called normal conditions, but far better conditions, and that is negotiation and honest bargaining between labor and labor employers to. the end of a square deal for everybody- Lord knows in this bountiful country of ours there is plenty for everybody, and there is-, contentment for everybody, if we all behave like civilized beings and get away from thc notion that employees must trample employers or employers trample employees before thc belter days comc in.���Winnipeg Tribune. ancc (miners, railwaymen and transport workers) meeting in Southport j grazing on Alanitoba grass in connection with the co.al crisis.

Sitipn of the Allies this time last ycar, when thc Germans were sinking every food ship at sight. The Germans, he declared, wcrc absolutely responsible for the present shortage in Great Britain and Germany. The Germans were quite unconcerned during the submarine campaign about depriving British women and children of food. Tlicy were unconcerned about the babies then, but ngw" they were crying like big babies because the blockade was still there. (Cheers.) J. Havelock .Wilson, Coalition Labor M.P. for South Shields, condemned "tlic triple alliance leaders for engaging iit ill-directed activities. He .declared, that capitalists were ' afraid to develop industry because of the absence of guarantees for the future. It was thc stunts of Robert Williams & Co. which created unemployment. He condemned thc conscription cry. as "flapdoodle." Thc only people concerned" about conscientious objectors, hc said, were a handful of men of Bolshevik tendency, and characterized Lcninc and Trotsky as two damned rogues and rascals, .not "white an.- gcls."

A National Policy on the Subj ct ci' Labor It is rather fashionable lo argue that, labor troubles iu lhc United Stales will never assume gi\\at proportions. People say that this is lhe land of opportunity, many working- men own their homes, Americans supported the war wholeheartedly, our young men have had military training. All that and ten times more applies to Canada, her men havc been lhc heroes of the war, her people have given tinlil tlicy had no more to give, they arc house-owners.

Right To Seize Whiskey Stills May Be Extended to Officers Of Alberta Provincial Police Edmonton, Alberta.���The right to seize illicit whiskey stills, whicli is af present vested only in oflicers of thc federal inland revenue department, may shortly bc extended to officers of thc Alberta provincial police. The Attorney-General recently look this matter up with the federal authorities, urging such course, ancl received a careful hearing, which led him to believe that his suggestion would bc acted upon. In view of thc increasing ���number of would-be distillers in different parts of the province, the question of dealing with thc situation has become a live one. As it stands now police officers arc required to report all cases to. thc inland revenue department for their action.
