The forest fires which have been raging around Courtenay. are nearly all out, or well under control. The rain of Sunday night and Monday was most welcome, and was the means of saving a lot of valuable timber. A very larjre area has been burned over, no lives were lost, and but one house destroyed, that in which Mr, Bert Beckensell lived, was destroyed. Comparatively little good timber was destroyed. Some of the ranchers say the fire happening just when it did was a blessing in disguise. As the burned places will make good pasture lands, whicli is much needed in the valley. ST.

There have I numerous reasons assigned lor lhe change, no one of which fuiij explains lhe cause of this townward trend, Perhaps the basal factor in bringing about the change Is au economic one, bul 11 is quite probable dial il is something the sain.' us is familiarly I,noun in .medical parlance as a complication uf dis cases, or, in olher words, a combination of circumstances and conditions have led many of our liriKhtosl and best farm boys and girls lo lho city. There ure bright and shining examples of ttiose who have mnde good, j Inn Ihere are ninny others of those who go, who often leave bolter homes than Ihey llnd in the city, often perform harder lasks than at home, of- Ull endure hardships, privation and financial embarrassment, all for the sake of tbe something in the city which seems tn be lacking in country life, lt may be lhat the younger people in the country place too high a value on lhe glitter and glare of city life, and do not appreciate nor truly understand the possibilities and opportunities u" country life. There is abundant beauty and interest in nature surrounding those who dwell in the country, but witli many, all nature is so intimately blent with associations of toil that it cannot be looked upon with pleasure. With many, too, Ihese sensibilities liave never been awakened, Trained to do so, the country youth would look upon nature differently. The place and time to exert un In- lluenee In Ihis direction is in the public school when the children are young. The leaching should be done, too, by better paid, and, consequently less migratory teiic'icrs iiian we now have in many of our country schools, who should he qualified to give thc country boys and girls a more adequate training l'or lite in the country. The children should be trained to live a fuller and richer life as well as taught to read and write, This :s something for the parents themselves to consider and act upon, and which should not be left entirely to the schoolmen. The opportunities for social recreation and enjoyment in rural parts are often undeveloped and almost entirely neglected. It should be remembered by 111" parents that.young people are young people wherever they are found, and those in the country enjoy a good time as well as those iu the city. They like to mingle with tlieir fellows, and opportunity should be given for theni to do so. The country homes should be thrown open more frequently to young peoples' gatherings of various kinds. We often hear ihe older folks describe the good old times of long ago when mention is frequently made of the paring, sewins, husking, and quilting bees, and the barn raisings, spelling matches, singing schools, etc. These all afforded and wore intended to afford opportunity for social Intercourse, Where arc Ihey now? What have we in tlieir place True, we bave some tilings now whlc . we had not then, as, for example, the telephone, automobile or rubber tired buggy. The telephone may account in part for the smaller number of social gotberings in some places. In eome districts lhe social side of farm life is not overlooked and there are various meetings and entertainments of a social nature, bin the good old time sociability is nnt general enough. The homes in many instances arc not homelike aud attractive as they ought to be. lt is lliere thut lhe training of mankind begins, so let it not he a darkened, narrow, cheerless plnce, that invites narrowness und discontent in life individual, hut let i' be a place that promotes that which is high.si, noblest nnd best in man, a light, I.el lhe lonaliy joy and Inline he lu order 'iilerlalii llliu the young people maj llieir friends.

Playgrounds and recreation centres, organized ror adults as well as for children, .re appearing everywhere. It has beet] found lhat play' is not only a moans of happiness, hut is essential as a means of a si rung physical and mental development, and also serves to break up the routlna of Institutional life. Activity along these lines has been, so far, confined largely to cities, but one day tiles j things will receive attention by thus who dwell in rural parts, Places of Informal association hnve a greater value 111 socializing than the appoinied meeting places uf the people, In recent social surveys it has been discovered that the places of casual meeting are almost exclusively places of business, such as stores, barber shops, mills, blac';- smith shops, elevators, or places of necessity as tlle railway station and post office, 'ihese casual meetings in the country are, it must be admitted, a wholly insufficient socializing experience. It is bad enough for tbo men hut it is much worse for the women. They, in many instances arc deeply in the rut of "slay al home." Replies lo an enquiry recently conducted in Hm United Stales Indicate lhal while sonic farm women are cheerful, happy and contented, many complain bitterly about the long hours. Isolation and lack of social recreation found on the farm. Why should tlie school houses be used only a few hours each day hy Uie children'.' There is no reason why ihey should not be the farmers club houses and form tho social centres for the adults, They are built and paid for and all ready for use. ln places of business one hears nothing lint economic commonplaces and as the substance of conversation and discussion is conditional by environment the meeting'in the ichool for social, literary, and musical purposes would certainly have an elevating influence upon liioso participating. Economic processes have had much to do in bringing about tlie condition of affairs so complained of today. The tendency of farmers to retire to the city and the departure of the young people to oeek their fortunes in the city, have dissolved (he rural household and undermined tlie traui- tional country home. "So far there lias been. Mttle in the way of reconstruction. Without a reconstruction the rural household cannot he inad3 stable. The church and lhe school should be reconstructed with the purpose in view of restoring a normal social life, which would mean the building of a new country home i : which the son would succeed the father, and the daughter be contented In remain.

They Admit Country's Guilt Prussian Lays Blame for thc European War on the Fatherland A certain bold Prussian, name unknown, born, by his own confession, "on iii mum soil, of German parents, German iu language and sentiment, who loves his country better and more than any other," has recently written a startling book called "M'Accice von I-:iii<-m Deutschen." The honk lias, for obvious reasons, been published in Switzerland. The iiii of iwo languages was evidently suggested by /.iila s famous accusation wliieh brought about the public trial of the Dreyfus ense, The book appeared iu Germany, where it enjoyed a large secret circulation, in spite of the cf- forts of the government to confiscate it, Th" lirst authentic account of "M'Aceusc' von Kin, ni Uculschcn" has been written hy one Qordon-Smltli l'or llie New York Tribune, Hi w riles in pall as follows: The author not only w rites as n German inn thinks as one, liis reasoning is Hint of a Herman dialectician.

Thc author of "J'Accuse" has at any rale preserved Ills independence and remained muster of his ideas and of his pen. lie declares and proves--lhat the wur was plotted, prepared and declared hy lhe German military party. It had its precursors and its prophets; General Bernhardi, Treltsehlte, Kjo- benius and others, lie shows tne methods used to work on public opinion, lo knead it as one kneads dough, lie cites the effort made to obtain the introduction of international arbitration and the reduction of armaments by the czar, Nicholas 11., and proves to demonstration thai this effort shipwrecked on the unyielding opposition of Germany and Austria. This checkmated the loyal co-operation of the other powers, great and small. The writer proves'thai Great Britain was untiring iu her attempts to bring about a simultaneous reduction of naval construction, bul. tlie Berlin cabinet refused to entertain these proposals. Why'.' The author of ",1'Ac- cuse" gives the reason without hesitation, "hecause of all the powers in European Germany alone was plotting and preparing war." And why did she want war? The empire was enjoying an unexampled period of economic progress and prosperity. It was known to he th . strongest power in Kurope. nnd everybody bowed to its will. It developed unceasingly ils power, ils riches, and its force. Xo one dared lo face it resolutely. This was seen during the Morocco crisis and Ihe Ralkan wars- Xo one dared to at lack it. Xo one had the courage or even the desire. But a powerful party in the empire dreamed of a slill greater omnipotence and il managed to make a great peo- ple, laborious, intelligent and, at the bottom, peaceful, believe that the war was a "Befrelungskrleg," a war of liberation, like that waged a century before against Napoleon. A war of liberation from what?���from whom? This question will never find an answer. Ho examines, in the light of all the documents published up to the present time, ihe action of Austria, of Germany, of Russia, of Kngland, and of France. For him no doubt subsists. The German chancellory seized upon the crime of Serajevo to let loose on Europe a war already decided on in principle, tlie new military law, which brought to its maximum the armed force of Germany, having then had its complete application, lie then sums up tbe serr ed arguments contained in tho powerfully written pages of his book hy affirming that "Germany and Austria are responsible for the European war wliieh tbey provoked knowingly and with premeditition." * * The terrible massacre goes on wlthoul resuli, p'i,ng up daily fresh mountains of corpses, fresh ruin and devastation An end must he made to this. The people must impose peace. Tlie author, however, demands that it shall b ' a i'' al peace, and not a mere armistice. No clause of the treaty of peace shall constitute an act of violence, a germ of future conflicts. Thc people lllUBl unite, but there must he no aniii ;.ti ni. Standing armies must be reduced tn tlle numbers ne- cessury to prevent and defeat the bellicose i nterprlpes of the peoples who do not adhere to this accord.

When the comparatively small population of Ireland is considered, the statement that 120,741 of its, y-uug men have volunteered for the great European war, must be | considered a fairly good showing. According to the census of 1911, Erin's population, which lias been stead inly declining for three quar-1 ters of a century, was then 4,381- 951, and it is probably even less now. Of this total it is doubtful, because of the immigration of work- ers, if more than 2,000,000 are males, and it is safe to say that one half are too young or too old for army service.

Beveridge, Courtenay Hotel Constantinople In a Panic When Diver Attacks Bridge Athens, Aug. 31.���A submarine has blown up a portion of the Galata Bridge, Constantinople, according to a despatch received here from the Turkish capital today. The population and officials of the city are said to be in a panic because of a terrific offensive inaugurated by the British and French forces. The diver's feat was considered remarkable. It passed under the Marmora Sea to the middle of the Roiphorus unobserved. Galata Bridge is in the heart of Constantinople, connecting Stamboul and Galata.

Merit*, Mgr. Retail VICTORIA NOTES The decision of the provincial government to take a plebicite on prohibition of the sale of liquor until the end of the war will be wel coined and already the prohibitionists have begun their campaign, and it may be said, with every prospect of victory. Liquor is not a necessity, and at the best it is a doubtful luxury, while as Mrs. McClung has expressed it, "it is the women and children who pay and suffer." At a laige meeting in support of the measure in Victoria, tbe same lady reminded her audience that no sane person? ever leaves poison in reach of a baby, aud uow that there is being waged a war in which tbe Empire needs every ounce of energy, the community must be freed from the risk of diminishing its strength, and its resources. At the present time, opium and other poisons are placed beyond the reach of the citizen; tbe ca e for similar protection from liquor is overwhelmingly strong, and since the praiiie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have "gone dry," British Columbia will not want to be backw rd, Business men are solid for prohibition, that is, those busiues" men who are out after business. The war is changing the attitude of the masses towards conscription, aa a war necessity, so also will it be with prohibition . Is is a winning cause. As for "blind pigs," in case of prohibition, they exist without it, and ate but one of tbe many parasitic accompaniments of the liquor traffic, such /is doped liquor, drinks at the expense of the saloon, aud so on. The government has given the province a chance to test prohibition, and see what life is like without these things, - Victoria, B. C.���Advices reaching the Hon. W, R. Ross point to hopeful conditions in the Kamloops district, one mill being reported as having resumed operations quite recently, and another instance quoted being that of a planing mill running double shifts in order to fill prairie orders. There is likely to be a demand for small timber sales in the uear future, especially in the Adams river and North Thompson sections. The fire hazard has been small, and tbis is due in uo small measure to the manner u which logging operators and settlers have co-operated with the Forest Service in the matter of slash disposal alter logging and clearing operations. The lire s tu ation would now appear to be safe for the rest of the season. m*-**.*m- ��������� Victoria, B, C- The Hon. the Minister of Lands is iuforuied that signs of improvements are visible in the lumber industry on Vancouver Island. Shingle mills are busy with ord rs from the American side and from the east. Seventeen lumber mills are returned as operating, and iu ddition to five working periodically) whilo seven shingle mills are in operation. There are ten log giug companies with camps open, in addition to various small operations, Tlie earlier part of the veal saw much cleaning up of logging slash. In the agricultural districts much Iiiini lias been cleared, and 111.my of the linger slashings disposed of, while public opiuion, alive to the dangers of Iiie, hnu undoubtedly aided the forest guard;. Victoria, B. C,,���Reports to the Hon. the Minister of Lands from the Nelson District show that sawmill operators ale of opinion that owing to the low stock now held by ' many prairie yards there will be a good demand this fall for lumber. Eight mills employing 250 men are in operation, while half a dozen 1 other mills have recently closed dowu after short run.''. One interesting order from the Stites, namely, white pine for match stock is being partly supplied from timber killed iu the 1910 fire. Seven pole companies areshippii:g and yarding poles, and heavy shipments are being made to the states, although at a low price. Until the advent of the prevailing hot weather, the season has been exceptionally good for land clearing and slash burning operations, much road slash in particular having been cleaned up, The following bit of rural philosophy Was overheard in a farm-1 yard in the east of England the other day.��� "James, my son," said a mau who stood mixing the milk and water, "ye see what I'm a-doiug of ?" "Yes, father," re-j plied James, "Youi'e a-pouring water into the milk." "No, I'm not, James, I'm pou ing milk into the water, so if anybody axes you if I put water into the milk, you alius tell 'em no. Alius stick to the truth, James, Cheatiu' is bad enough, but lyiu' is wuss." The market is growing in England for B.

Delay means danger���perhaps consumption. The girl in her teens cannot develop into a happy, robust woman without an i,hiiniluiil supply of rich, red blood ill her veins. It is the lack of this good blood thai is the great trouble with nine girls out of every ten. They grow weak uud depressed; lose their appetite, are breathless after the slightest exertion and suffer from headaches and backaches, When ���girls ure in this condition lliere is no medicine cun compare with Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills, In the use of these Pills there is splendid vigorous health, with glowing checks and sparkling oyof, l'or every unhappy fragile girl who is struggling on to womanhood in a wretched state of health, This is why thousands of girls und women, now robust and attractive, are constantly recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lo their suffering sex. Miss Edith Brotisseau, Savona, B.C., says: "At the age of fourteen I became very anaemic. I wus us pale as a ghost, suffered from heao'aches, severe palpi- uiliori of the heart at the slightest tv: ertion. I had litlle or no appetite and seemi-il to be drifting into a decline. I was attending high school in Vancouver al the time, and the doctor advised me to stop. I did so and took bis treatment for some time, but it did not help me In the least. Upon the advice of a friend 1 began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and in a very short lime tbey gave me back complete health and enabled me to resume my studies. I have enjoyed the best of health since, and owe il all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be bad by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes l'or $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookvllle, Onl. borne, He follows bis officers blind ly, Judged by American lie lucks Initiative, hm in i the trenches Initiative plays part.

The marvellous gunnery of the British dreadnoughts is due to a series of inventions by A. il. Pollen, the famous naval expert. By means of the Pollen range finder Iiie Pollen plotting device, and the Pollen clock, the range and speed of the enemy ship can be found, and once found can be kept. When two ships are moving al high speeds in different directions the range is naturally changing very vapidly every minute, so it is all the more wonderful that Jack Tar should keep on hii ting the target without fail. It's the Pollen clock, and other Pollen inventions which do it for him. ��� This (dock tells the officer in charge of tha gun every change in the runge. at what angle be should aim his gun, and when he should lire.

The Coalition Ministry History Furnishes Several Instances of Formation of Coalition Governments There liave been lour big coalition governments besides tbis one, though only one of these has been on a parallel with the present British war ministry. Tbat one was the "ministry of all the talents," as it was called, formed In 1800, and only lasting u year. At that lime the outlook was black, for though Nelson had just won Trafalgar, Napoleon was sweeping over Europe. This great coalition fell because George III. refused to allow Catholics to receive commissions in tiie army. In 1757 was formed a successful war coalition, at the time when (.'live was oonquering India, and lighting was going on in Canada, while the Seven years' War was being waged in Europe. Tbis coalition lasted for four years. A coalition government followed the war of the American colonies, now the United Stales, lasting not quite two years. Another such government was formed just before the Crimean war and fell when the scandalous conduct of the campaign was brought to light.

Britain's wealth and sea power and; military power are the one sure safe' guard against the triumph of Germany's nnparalelled war machine.
