Sir Richard McBride sailed last week for Canada, via New York. A dispatch from London says that although the Premier's hurried ttip was ostensibly taken in Provincial interests, it has been really in the inerest of the Dominion. It is learned that Sir Richard was in Ottawa aud also conferred with Sir Robert Borden at Hot Springs, Va., before sailing for England. During the week Premier McBride was a daily caller at the war office, where he had important conferences on the subject of Canada's coast defence and other matters. As a result of the conferences, it is expected that important steps will be taken as regards Canada's coast defence. Since the mails began coming into Courtenay by train the service has been worse than ever. Formerly we got five mails from Vancouver during the week at convenient intervals. Now we'get no mail from Vancouver from Friday morning until Tuesday night. If one wishes to go to Vancouver by train he is compelled to stop over night at Nanaimo both coming and going. The freight service is even worse than before. Recently a quantity of freight was consigned to us from Vancouver on Oct. 22. the charges all prepaid, yet the paper did not reach us until Saturday last. 2 weeks and three days is a pretty long time to take to carry a hundred pounds of freight one hundred miles by boat. niversary of the Gunpowder Plot, and proposed the toast of "The: King," coupled with the name of Bros.

Concentration, consistent and persistent effort iu one direction is the surest road to success. You'll n. .er win in a big way���except accideutly���if you scatter your energies. The best steam engine in the world would race itself to ruiu without its governor. Keep your mind on your 'ob, specialize in your particular business, and try to know as much about it as the man who created it, and, barring misfortune, you'll make more out of that knowledge than you will out of any chance success outside of your bu.iness.��� Maurice Switzer iu Leslie's.

MIsb Octavia, who lnul treated Bar- barn with extreme Bnapptshnese, nml wlin looked' very peculiar, sluing up in Inil wllli an old, rather dirty red shawl round hor shoulders, and a night-cap on her head, glanced ut tlie girl, "Going away? What do you mean. Barbara Chance? Arc you throwing up your situation with mc'.'" "Not it' you will keep mr." Miss Lavinia at that moment cume into the room. "Lavinia! listen! This���this charity i-liild, as wo call her, has absolutely tlie cheek to toll me that slio is go- ing nwny:" "1 nm not n charity cliild," said Barbara. She turned very red nnd then pale. "1 want to say that something hus happened. Last night my father's lawyers, Messrs. Parkes ami Sunningley, called to see nie owing to ii lpllt-r which you wrote to Dean Chance, .Miss Lavinia." "Tlie Lord preserve us!" said Miss Lavinia, "what a fool I was to write!" "Well, they hnd been looking for me a long time, and Mr. Sunningley wishes me to live with him altogether. In fact, lie intends to adopt me, and 1 have decided to accept liis invitation, as 1 know my darling father would wish it. But I have asked him���knowing how you like my reading, for I think you do, Miss Octavia��� lo allow nie to come here for one or two hours every day to read to you. His house is in Dean's Yard, nnd his housekeeper, Mrs. Gray, will bring me here." "Highly! Tighty!" snid Miss Lavinia, "what a grand young ludy we are becoming! Tlie little nobody must be oscffrled about London forsooth. 1 did mischief, surely, when i wrote to Dean Chance, and lie had not even the politeness to call! Well, well, well, you're In luck, child." "I always knew she was a lady, sister," said Miss Octavia. "I told you sn, and you wouldn't believe me." "Well, I was lilled with curiosity," said Miss Lavinia. "And 1 begged and Imylored you not to write to Dean chance, didn't 1?" said Miss octavia. ' "I know you did, sisler. But now, cannot you stay witli my sister for today at least, Barbara?" "I am afraid I can only give her two hours this morning, for Mr. Sunningley is coming for me himself, early in the afternoon, but while I am here I will read to her and do everything I can for her. For you've both been kind to me, and you in especial, .Miss Oelavia, havo been kind, and 1 am sorry to part with you. But you must understand that I like to go back to ray own people, and Mr. Sunningley belongs to my own people father's cousin, and I lovi old gen'.leman." "Whatever possessed you to from them, cliild?" "That is my secret," said Barbara. At that moment Mrs. Russell knocked, and without waiting for a reply entered tho room. "I'm mighty busy this morning,, Barbara," she said. "1 havo got an offer already for your room. Have you broken it to the two ladles that you are going away today? Miss Barbara Chance has found hor feet, madams, and In future will le us much a ludy as either of you. But we always saw it In her face, didn't, wo, miss'.'"���she turned lo Miss Octavia. "Wo did," snid Miss Octavia. "Barbara, 1 shall miss you terribly"��� tears rose to the poor! halt-blind eyes "No one ever read with milte such a genteel accent," she snid. "I have remarked that often, haven't I sister?" "You bore nie by making Mich a fuss," said Miss Lavinia. "Well, at any rate, I must have my day out. Will you look 'liter my sister wh.in Barbara Chance is gone, Mrs. liussell?" "I will do my best," said Mrs. Russell. "Either Hannah or mo'11 see to lur; but if she's very bad, it's right that her own sister should do the best she could for her. But here, I has nothing to say to it. She can't expect the consiaeration and attention she's got from Miss Barbara in the past any longer. Now, dear Miss Barbara, who always was a most thoughtful little lady, made it one of the conditions ot her going to Mr. Sunningley's that she was to come to you, Miss Octavia, two hours a day out o.' her precious time, salary to no tho same as before." "Oh! .hat's qulto impossible!" said Miss Lavinia. "She was at my sister's beck and call; if she comes for two hoi.rs she jnly gets six shillings a wee.c instead of twelve." "Than she won't come at all," said Mrs. Russell. "Yoi can take your choice; I leave It to you, ladies. Barbara, my darlin', you .mist come and pack, I want to see that everything Is nice and proper when you go off. sbe doesn't want your twelve shillings _. _. U. 102? he is my tho dear hide a week. Keep it and live without her," said the angry woman. "1 will give her the twelve the ' same us before. 1 could not live with onl lur. You will como tomorrow, anl yi all read lo me today, won't you, darling?" suid Miss Octavia. i "T.ierr! I thought Miss Octavia had a heart.

Bul : Ihi re, .Miss Barbara lias found lier : looting at last, and will be looluil at- ��� tor as siie ought lo be." Barbara and Mrs. Russell left the i room, and Octavia and Lavinia wrung- ; led together when they were alone. j Oelavia said that if Lavinia liad 'taken her advice, little Barbara ' would have stayed ou and beon the comfort of lier declining years. "But after all." she said suddenly, "you I did right, Lavinia, you did right. And the child will lie In ii proper home. | where she ought to be, Anyone can see she Is a lai.v. Sweet little enn 1 dire!" "Oh! She's a sw- el Ilttlo creatine, . now is she?" said .Miss LavltUa "It was always grumble, grumble, I grumble, as long as sho was a poor ; nobody, but now���Oh! llow like a I woman you are, Oelavia!" "And so are you, l.nvinin, for thatI mailer." "Well, I must get into my dress. I have a great deal to do," said Lavinia. "I shan't bo in until midnight, but I won't disturb you; you must ring your hell when you want attendance. Mrs. Russell would not lose us for the world, and she will seo that you get whal you require, If you stay warm and snug in bed and have���yes, the day is a very cold one���have a bit of fire in your roo.n, you will . soon got your cold under, and be up again tomorrow." Tlien Aliss Lavinia put. on her new purple cashmere dress, over which she wore a rich mantle of velvet, and a vory large hat on her head. Sho was dressed a la twenty, but her years were approaching forty; still sho was a good looking woman, and r 'ich prided herself on her appearance. Miss Octavia told her that she looked perfectly beautiful. Miss Lavinia said that she was going to take a cab, which would contain her evening dress, and go straight to the friend with whom she was io dine and with whom she was afterwards going to the theatre. "So you won't see mo again until tomorrow morning, my dear. Don't on any account disturb nie when 1 come in. T.here is nothing I detest more than illness when I am enjoying myself, l expect to nave a thoroughly happy day, and do not wish il spoilt by grumbling at the end." Sho rustled off in her finery���for her purple cashmere dress wns lined with silk���and swept, downstairs. A little box was carried behind her by Hannah; a cab was fetched and she drove away. Little did she think of the poor, sick sister upstairs! Hannah, however, was far more thoughtful. Miss Lavinia had not even thought of ordering a lire to ha lighted for .Miss Octavla's benefit; but Hannah rushec. upstaira and lit it, and brought hot water and washed the poor lady's face and hands. "Now, you'll Ve quite 'comfy,'" she said. "And Miss Barbara is coming to you at onee." "Your eyes look very red, Hannah." "I am fit to break my 'eart," said Hannah. "It's on account of her going. I never see her like. Sunshine she brought into the 'ouse, and sunshine she takes out of it." "Don't talk of it! Don't talk of it!" said Miss Octavia. "I can't bear it. it's too dreadful. It's good for lier���she deserves it." "Yes, we guessed from the very first that.she was a lidy born," said Hannah. Then little Barbara came in; she wore her best black dress, and sat down and began to read to Miss Octavia. She read steadily in her usual sweet voice; but suddenly Aliss Octavia asked lier to stop. "I would rather talk to you," she said. "I want to ask you to forgive me." you! Why so, dear Miss round in a few minutes." Barbara rushed off. The last Bhe saw of the little old lady was the withered face, anxious eyes, and tears streaming down her face. "I am quite unhappy at leaving her," she said to .Mrs. Russeo. "Tut! Tut! iny love.

And so the two hours passed, and Misa Octavia asked little Barbara to give her one kiss. * , "I don't think you will take the cold," she said. "I am better already for your sweet face and your sweet words and the thought that you are not angry with me. God bless you, child! I shall look forward to your coming toniorro v. What time will you come, dearie?" "I shall be with you, Miss Octavia, at two o'clock, or say, half-past two, for I don't know exactly Mr. Sunningley's plans. But, If possible, not later than half-past two. 1 will ocud you a card tonight tolling you the exact hour." Do so, dear. I shall enjoy getting a letter. Can you make it a letter, love? And then 1 need not sny a word about it to Lavinia. I love to keep things from Lavinia, she keeps everything she can from me." There came a sharp rap at the door.

Bole, President tbe National Drug & Chemical Company of Canada, Limited Our leaders in botli the Imperial and Canadian parliaments tells us it is nol for lovo of wnr, or lust of conquest, or territorial greed. In Great Britain tlie people are happy nml prosperous, and less than any other country in Europe is tlie gulf between reaction and progress; there is, therefore, no domestic reason for war. Whilo England ls bound by treaty to respect the neutrality of Belgium, she is nol bound by treaty lo defend it; ahe is not bound by anything Unit is signed, scaled nnd delivered to help Pranoft) she has no direct interest iu the quarrel between Austria anil Servia, yet whon English diplomacy failed to confine liostilies lo these two countries, war involving Great Britain and tlio empire, was as inevitable _s il was honorable and necessary. England was a party lo the creation of the new Kingdom of Belgium in 1831, and was, therefore, morally obligated to assist her to maintain hor independence, especially against a nation hound by treaty to respect It. This ia apart from England's traditional policy of encouragement aud help to weak nations fighting for lib erly and a free government, llow much little Belgium has deserved English support was demonstrated during the month of August. For three precious weeks she stemmed the tide of an army intended to crush Europe; then when the military strategy of the Allies required it sho sacrificed her beautiful Capitol as a pawn iu the game ot war. Such valor and self- abnegation are rare in history. Then witli respect to France, the good feeling which lias existed for come years between tlie two nations developed into an understanding which, to un honorable nation, was as binding aa a treaty, So confident were the two nations of each other's support, that Kngland surrendered, iu a great measure to the safe-keeping of the French fleet, her interest in tho Mediterranean, while France trusted her western and northern shores to the friendly vigilance of Ihe Englinh heel. If England had been t'.ie lirst tu feel the stroke ol the enemy, no Briton has any doubts as to what the attitude of France would havo been. In these circumstances, both with regard to Belgium und France, Great Britain is at war because honor demand i it. If she had mado herself a parly to the shameful bargain pro posed by Germany, she would n.-ver havo recovered from the shame. Now, as to the qhetsion of the necessity of war for the protection of her material interests, a glance at the map of Europe will answer. Groat Britain's total annual trade is nearly seven billion dollars, oin. thir. of which is with Continental Europe. Tha open door lo this vast European trade is through Holland and Belgium. If England had remained neutral, and Franco found herself unable to drive | the Germans back into tlieir own country, these doors would have beon closed. In addition to this bltv at England's trade and prestige, Ger many would have dominated Europe and whipped into i.er ranks all the weaker nations, as Napoleon did a hundred years ago. Thus fortified uermany would regard her nargaiu with England as lightly as she regarded her treat, with Belgium, and make fresh demands which, if complied with, would mean an end to til. British empire. But the kaiser reckoned witiout his host���Britain did not barter her right to defend her honor or her interests. Her people at home, and throughout the empire, closed rank and stood as one man ready lo assume the terrible consequences of war rather than that the Hag shoulc. suffer dishonor, or that it should be lowered in the markets of tlie world. Great Britain, the little island nation, no larger than one of our own larger provinces, whose ports and markets are free to the whole world whose army and navy are manned without, a single conscript, and whose government is as free and democratic aa her republican ally, is lighting for the principle of honor between nations and that British plur.k. industry and enterprise, the world over, shall not pale before the unbridled lust of a military autocrat. To Canadians this is an inspiring spectacle. It is to maintain her place in the empire nnd to share with tho Mother Country the burdens of this war of civilization, that Canada offers in thia crisis, so ungrudgingly, the flower of her young manhood and the first fruits' of her industry. In n great many of the newer agricultural dlBtrldS it is very expensive to erect buildings for stock owing to tho high price of lumber and tht distance which It hus to bo hauled. Oftentimes sod or log stables roofed with brush and soda nre used, which answer the purposo very satisfactorily until such time us tho farmer can afford somewhat more substantial quarters for his stock.

Pets on the Battlefield What sort of a pet have the British Grenadiers taken with him for the fray? In lhe Crimea it was a cat���a pretty, playful creature picked up in the inarch across Bulgaria, and taken via Varna lo the Crimea. During the battle of the Alma, when the fate of empires appeared trembling in the balance, Colonel Wheatley, with the cheerful non chalanee of the merry men he commanded, cried out: "Where's the cat, boys?" "Here she is, sir," answered a stentorian voice, and a gigantic bearded Grenadier stepped forward, opened his knapsack as lie spoke. There waa puss, safe and snug. She peeped out at tho battle, .atrctcheo, herself, yawned contemptuously at. the enemy, then settled down again in her neat, to he carried through s thrilling charge, survive the battle unhurt, and to become In due time, a .joyful mother of kittens. Something of the same sort of thing happened in the sanguinary engagements between the Russians and Japanese. During Ihe terrible lighting around Mukden, a Japanese lieutenant saw a pretly little Pekinese spaniel wandering distractedly between tho two lines of fire. Evidently it had been taken Into the bat tie by a Russian officer, who had sin.to been killed, and it was njjw wandering sadly in i.enreh of him' The Jap aneae officer, whistled it, and the dog ran fawning to him, and became hla devoted pet. The time came for a great Japan ese charge upon the Russian trenches. The dog accompanied its new maater, but with ita long coat and short legs it could not go the pace ot the agile Japi.nese infantry. So Serving In the Ranl.t Another point ought to be mentioa ed, and thia concerns those who art hovering on the brink of enlistment, but who think that their duty la t. become officers rather than privates. No doubt, there is dearth of officers, but also it la not too much good for a man to offer to be an officer unleat he has had some previous training of has some special knowledge. No on�� who wants to serve his country to the- best of hia ability, and that meant practically everybody, should apply for a commission without adding that if he cannot have one he will enter the ranks. No man Is too good to serve his country as a private soldier. 1 That must be hammered into the minds of the youths of the upper classes and of the middle class. Happily plenty of them aro already setting an example by going into ths ranks, There they will fare just, as well as Ilie officers while campaigning and will be just as well looked after if they fall sick or are wounded. In the modern iirmy there are no soft places for officcra. Indeed, the officers are worked distinctly harder than the men, !:ave to expose themselves more to danger, and owing to llieir leadership are unable to loot out for easy berths. Of course ���_ man with a special knowledge and special brain-power will do well to become an officer. We are convinced, however, that the ordinary man' df education and cultivation belonging to the well-to-do classes will do better by joiniflg the ranks promptly than hy hanging about waiting for * commission. Rementber that if h_ li' cs soldiering ho e:an always qualify for hia commission from the ranks.

'^n _tc5 Passing of Darwinism Scientists from all parts ol the British empire assembled in Australia l'or tho annual meeting of tlie British Association l'or the Advancement of tcience, presided over by Professor William liatesson, who was Inducted by thut great scientist, Sir Oliver LoiLe. Professor Batesson'a address on "Heredity and Evolution" was a direct attack ou the Darwinian theory of evolution���not on the great facts ol evolution themselves, but on Darwin's explanation of them. "1 suppose," he said, "that everyone is familiar with tlie theory of tha origin ol species which Darwin promulgated. Through the last r>o years tliels tltenie of the natural selection Ol favored races lias been developed and expounded ln writings innumerable. Favored race?, certainly can replace others. The argument is sound, but we are doubtful of Ils value; for in iimi debate stands adjourned." The president thus offered no theory of any kind lo replace the Darwinian explanation, but while destroying it he paid ii iiigii tribute in its propounded If Ihey could not see how a fowl gave risu lo a chicken or how one sweet pea produced another, they at leasl could watch the system hy which Ilie differences between the VOl'loUS kinds of fowls or hei ween tll8'| various kinds of sweet peas were dls it Hinted among the offspring. Tlie allotment of characteristics among offspring was accomplished through a process of cell division iu which the elements were sorted out. What those elements were we did not know, hut it seemed to him unlikely that they were material particles. Ile suspjjteil that tlieir properties de- ponded on some method of arrange- mon I. Plants, fowls, dogs, horses, one's own children exemplified this doctrine of segregation of the factors of inheritance. The body of evidence was now very large. In place of what they now knew the scope claimed for natural selection must he greatly reduced. We went to Darwin, for his facts, but he no longer spoke with philosophical authority. The doctrine of tlie survival of the fittest helped scarcely at all to account for the diversity of the species. There was no proof that the domestic animals had been developed from a few wild types. Fowls presented insuperable difficulties as to ancestry. Dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, poultry, wheat, rice, oats, plums, cherries had in turn been accepted as derived not from one but from several distinct forms. The problem of the origins of life still stood outside tlie range of scientific investigation, and when they heard of the spontaneous formation of aldehyde hy the action of light as the first step-in the origin of life, they thought of Harry Lauder in the character of a schoolboy pulling out liis treasures from his pocket saying "That's a washer���fer makkiu' motor cars." Evidently Darwinism has had it's day, and is to be followed by somo new scientific theory, nature and revelation befog apparently the only stable facts in life.

TULIP BREAD NOW 'Tis Made From Ground Tulip Bulbs, and is Very Nourishing On account of the scarcity of wheat in Holland, the Association of Dutch Bakers has sanctioned the use of a so-called "tulip bread," in which one-third of the Hour used is made from ground tulip bulbs. The bread is said to be very nourishing and the war ministry has recommended its uso in the army. A special to the London Dally New:! from Rotterdam says that the German minister of agriculture has issued a circular declaring that the cereal crop is not so good as expected, ordering the manufacture of alcohol cut down 40 per cent., and recommending thai farmers conserve the food supply hy drying potatoes on a large scale.

Walking Around the World, Last Heard From In Paris One of the globe-trotters whom war overtook in Europe is "Pitlsie" liyan, | an American newsboy whose face, if nol his name, is known to thousands Of people, including not n few digui- tarles. "Pittsie" started almost two years ago to walk around Ihe world, taking his lime lining it, and when last heard from lie was iii Paris selling American newspapers to tourists. That wus throe weeks ago. lie wrote to a "newsie" ill New York that he expected to be back lu this country iu August, but he lias not yet appeared on Brow way iiiiiI Ills whereabouts are i unknown.

A Hope For British Victory Of one thing we may be certain, that while ull Christendom will have to share the burden of distress It is upon Germany that the larger part will fail In useful lives extinguished, In flanancial misery, idle shipping, closed factories. That this is all due to tlie Insane growth of armies and navies stimulated, yes, neceseitated by Germany'" practice, no one can deny. This war is not. a bolt out of the blue. It has long been recognized as unavoidable and it hears lhe earmarks of deliberate planning. Nothing was Inching but a good excuse. And this excuse lias been found, or manufactured, as you please. It is right that Germany should pay heaviest. Let us hope the plea for bloated armaments as essential to national safety may never again be heard. We now perceive what they lead to. And let us hope that victory may rest with the British who, as a hundred /ears ago, are fighting in the cause of human progress and world-wide peace against the tyranny of personal, arbitrary government.���"A Naval Officer" in the New York Independent. War Experiences of a Canadian British newspapers contain a description of the trying experiences of a Canadian lady who showed a noble antl patriotic spirit In most trying circumstances. She and two other ladies were travelling together. After having succeeded witli difficulty in getting from Innsbruck to Munich, they got passports from tlie British consul there. "We then started for Switzerland," she said, "but at Lindau, on the Lake of Constance, we were ordered to gi' out and detained in the railway station refreshment room. That was Friday, August 14. We were detained in the refreshment room l'or eight hours. Seven other British subjects were witli us. There was plenty to eat for those who had the money to pay for it, and, on tlio whole, wc were kindly treated, althougu we were much alarmed when a Bavarian colonel came in a stale of great excitement and informed us that the } rench and Russians were behaving to liis countrymen like wild beasts. After we had been detained for eight hours we were told that the women could go but the men of military age would have to remain in Llnduu. I anil my companions got away, but two English ladies who were with their husbands declined to leave them. The party were not imprisoned; they were simply told to go to a hotel and remain there. What will become of them when their money is all gone I do not know. Our journey through Switzerland and Franco vas a most unpleasant experience. Wc were six days on the journey, and all the time we had to stand in the gangways of the trains or sit on the luggage that was piled up in them. I have lost all my luggage, but I am thankful to have got back alive. 1 am only sorry now for those we had to leave behind. Vhile 1 was in suspense at Munich I was strongly advised by friends ty represent that I was a citizen of the United States, but I would die rather than deny my flag."

The other way and the right way is the Dr. Williams' manner of treatment���that Is to nourish and build up that stomach by supplying plent, of new, rich, red blood. Give thf stomach this much needed supply Ol new blood and i Istress will disappear and stay banished forever, The new blood strengthens the nerves ot tho stomach and gives it the necessary power lo digest food. Thousands hear witness to the value of the Dr. Williams' treatment through the blood. Among them is lho Rev. P. U. Nowlau, of Stiminel'vllle, X.S., who says: "I certainly have great reason to recommend Ur. Williams' Pink Pills, as they were the means of saving my life. Till I reached the age of thirty I never knew what pain or sickness meant, but after that my stomach failed me and food of any kind caused untold distress. 1 became constipated and was forced to use injections daily. This went on for about two years; I grow weaker anil weaker; my weight fell off I'rom 1S5 to 125 pounds; I had a hacking cough and appeared to la going into a decline. All this time I was being treated by the best of doctors 'mt without the least benetit. Night after nlglu I could get no sleep the pain nnd agony was so severe. Ou consultation tlie doctors decided I was suffering from cancer of tlto st.nnu". and advised an operation as a uiea ts of saving my life. This 1 Mused to undergo and began to look forwari to an early death, .lust then a friend advised me to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. I liad no faith in any medicine and at .irsl refused, but my friend was so persistent that finally I gave In and purchased half a dozen boxes. By the time these were gone I felt much stronger and the distress was not s_ severe. I continued their use and each succeeding box wrought a marked improvement in my c< million till hy the time I had takon a dozen boxes every pnln and ache had left nie; iny strength Increased; my weight was hack where It was before I wai ill; I had a good appetite anl was completely cured. In tlie yea.-} that have elapsed since I used th. Pills not a twinge of the trouble baa returned, To mo Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are tho greatest medicine on eartli and I never lose an opportunity in recommending Ihem to other sufferers, for I feel that were it not toff tlieir use I would have been in my grave long ago." What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Rev. Mr. Nowlan they have done for thousands of others and will do for you If ailing. They not only cure cases of stomach trouble, but rheumatism, partial paralysis, heart palpitation, St. Vitus dance and all other troubles that have their origin in a bad condition of the blood and nerve.'.

The naval and military forces of lhe Empire are staying with the job, a ship is lost here and a military force i.s beaten back there, but the men at the front on land and sea go on fighting all the same. It is for the remainder of the citizens of the Empire to go on doing likewise; the prairies promise to place under wheat next year something like 20 per cent more land, while the cities are paying attention to the probleniii of the unemployed and vacant land with a view to making the one solve the other. It is for the individual to carry out the same idea, to support his locality as far as possible, to pay his way as far as possible, to place as much land under the plow or the spade as possible, cutout waste and luxury as being both unproductive, and to help his neighbours to the best of his ability. War is a terrible thing, and many fail to understand why war is permitted, but war can effect many things that the times of peace cannot, just as medicine is required to supplement ordinary nourishment at times; this war, terrible as it is, and ghastly as it yet will be, will achieve a great result upon the human race, that is to say, upon those who will take pains to profit thereby. There has beeu too much waste and luxury and the great Dominion of Canada has suffered especially, the land has been tickled rather than cultivated, and class and individual selfishness alike have become too marked for the Canadian people to be healthy from the point of view of the spiritual, imperial and even the material. It is has become a natural question to enquire "And who is my neighbour?"; the war furnishes the reply for the bona-fide seeker after the truth. The War in Canada Now that the novelty afforded by an European war, even though the British Empire is involved, is tending to wear off, it is important to be reminded that the victors in the conflict will be those who will stay with the job to the end. They will not be deterred by news of reverses either on land or ��ea,they will cheerfully endure the trials of home privations in fact they will see in these things additional incentives to fight the harder; they will make it their business not to j comprise and uot to lay down their The "Contemptible Little Army" The Kaiser sent out the following army order on August 19: ' It is my royal ard imperial command that you concentrate your energies, for the immediate present, upon one single purpose, aud that you address all your skill and all the valor of my soldiers to exterminate the treacherous English and walk over General French's contemptible little army," Apparently, English treachery consists iu daring to oppose the German war lord. As for the ''contemptible little armv" it requires no excuse or apology for its size or its valour, as exemplified by its deeds during the first two months of the war. It still offers indomitable resistance; it is being strongly reinforced, aud has proved a stumbling block to German progress. It may yet bring the German Emperor's vaunted military forces into contempt and defeat. It has already outpointed them.

An Emergency Editor Review, While travelling with Mr. Norman, of Qualicum, from Mud Bay station on the E. & N. railway to the residence of Mr. F. J. Curran," we were halted abruptly by a channel being rapidly swollen by a flowing tide. Boats were on the opposite shore, and Mr. Norman suggested swimming the channel, and although I advised him otherwise he quickly prepared himself and with Anglo-Saxon courage plunged iuto the surging tide. Being an expert swimmer he wrestled against the current with steady stroke until he reached the farther shore where he launched a boat, recross- ed the channel and took me over safely. I learned later that Mr, Curran has lived at Mud Bay for a number of years aud has had to endure this inconvenience and danger of fording the channel at low tide in travelling to and from the nearest town, and recently his son, while trying to cross the channel, was caught in the treacherous tide aud drowned; thus a precious life was lost and a promising youth cruelly torn from his parents; leaving them bowed in grief over their irreparable loss. Surely the bridging of this channel is a matter which merits the prompt attention of our Jprovincial government. It is an emergency which the good roads department should overcome at the earliest possible date, and as the channel can be bridged at a very small cost and the danger to life and property forever ended.

BROCK, Acting Manager, Courtenay ami Com.x Branches Comox branch open ou Tuesdays, from 11 to 3 VICTORIA NOTES A correspondent iu your columns recently replied to an article in the "Herald" which apparently "slated" the individual who bought from outside the district in which he lived. The problem is an interesting one, and in Victoria uot least ot all; there is a lot to be said for the customer, and he is often justified in the belief that he pays mor? by buying locally than is warranted, But the local storekeeper is not always to blame, especially in country districts; he is the. object of attentions from many wholesalers, whose travellers call upon him and txpect a share of his custom. Who pays for the expenses incurred by the travellers? The retailer for the most part pays but the customer does pay a share. The fault is with the present system of distribution, whereby a dozen firms travel a district when two firms would be ample. It is not to be wondered that the Great Eastern houses, with a system of marvellous efficiency, can by means of the mail order department, successfully compete with the small dealer, who has to pay dearly for the competitive service of his several wholesalers. The Press can do much to help out the customer and the retailer, alt'lough in the past, the Pres . eager for the advertisements of the local retailer has carefully avoided the subject, thereby injuring the retailer out of false consideration for his interests, And yet there is much to be said even for the present system; the retailer, in fixing his prices, has to take into consideration the following factors among others, namely the proportion of bad or doubtful payers amongst his customers, the cost of delivery, the expense consequent upon a credit systcu, the loss of interest through the settlement of accounts long after the goods have been received and consumed, and the general cost of handling. The present system levies the same charge for any commodity practically whether the customer is "cash" or "credit." while the preponderence of' 'credit" is responsible for a greater cost to the retailer than should be the case. The worst offender, if dealing with a mail order house be an offence, is the person who is last to settle his bill at the local store, and vet he is responsible for the disability under which the local dealer labors, ' at least to a large extent. The remedy is to encourage cash dealing and to ''cutout" the excessive supply of travellers; at any rate the energetic Board of Trade would do well, in the interests of Courtenay to give the matter the fullest attention. Tbe present time is one which will lead to the solving of this and many other difficulties, and the action of your local contemporary in raisiug the question is a proof. The regrettable suspension of the Dominion Trust Company was a blow to an already over-wrought community, and must cause the other Tr'-ist Companies considerable inconvenience, It would not be in order, at a time when proceedings are being taken in the courts, to criticize the management, but it seems high time that the general public was protected by the Government, in the same way that they are protected in the matter of the banks. The use of the word "trust" leads many to deposit their savings, aud the thrifty are hard hit wheu a "trust" concern is proved to be the reverse of trustworthy. The higher rate of interest allowed by the trust companies leads many to deposite all their spare cash for the sake of the extra income, and such action is only natural. The banks of the Domin- minion do not seem to give the public a very remarkable rate of ���interest, at present, 3 per cent, whereas the same institutions are charging 8 per cent on loans; small wonder that the man with a few hundreds goes to the institution offering the higher rate, and dignified with the name ' 'Trust.'' Here is another problem brought partly by the war, and calling for action, which once satisfactorily solved will be to the benefit of the whole community. The arrival of the Comox Valley contingent for active service at the rendezvons at Victoria deserves mention, and already the members have met other representatives of the Valley who have enlisted in the local regiments. It is fitting that Comox should be represented in the fighting line, and there is no doubt that the moral, as well as the physical effect of this reinforcement will be felt, The Germans weie given to understand by their spies aud secret service men that Canada would remain neutral, and this supposition was supported by , the Senate's action ever the three WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED OUR NEW SAMPLES OF Suitings, Overcoating and Trouserings FOR FALL AND WINTER WEAR If you anticipate buying a suit, overcoat or _*.users this fall it will pay you to see our stock We guarantee material, workmanship and fit j W.

Bombs From Air Crafts Tii ��� dropping of bombs from aircraft was first developed iu the Un.t- ed States. Glenn II. Curtiss was the first aviator to demonstrate how a battleship might ho bombarded from tlio air. Before 1-010 Curtiss startled the American navy department and tho$e of Europe by dropping oranges on a warships' deck. Carrying a load of explosives In an aeroplane was In itself dangerous, involving the possibility of an explosion in r. rough start of landing: dropping weights above ten pounds during flight was supposed lo affect the equilibria . of an aeroplane, and dropping of bombs with any accuracy seemed impossible. Hut these limitations were removed In the characteristically speedy way in which all limitations are removed ia aeronautics. In March, 1912, at St. Louis, Tony Jannus dropped Albert Berry, weighing 17." pounds, from an aeroplane, demonstrating that a load large enough lo blow up a battleship could be dropped during flight without endangering the life of the pilot. Later in the year tlie Michelil) bomb-dropping contests induced experiments at bomb-dropping, whicli resulted in Lieutenant Riley E. Scott placing twelve out of fifteen bombs in tlie targ ami winning Uie $10,000 prize. These demonstrations were convincing, but little attention was given to them by military authorities outsidu of Russia and Germany, where bomb- dropping contests were held. But Individual inventors and military men continued their experiments, and there were evolved devices and bomb) which collectively, if not singly, could be said to solve the problem. To elimin te the dange' of explosion due to shock, for instance, bombs must be devised, such as the Marten-Hale, whicli must fall a distance to make ihem effect!-, e. The Marten-Hale bomb weighs twenty pounds, carries an explosive charge of four pounds of trinitrotolusui and 3-10 steel balls. VV. N. U. 1022 This is the ago of young men, but with Kitchener, at sixty-four, summoned to the head of the British army, and General Pan, who retired for age at sixty-seven, and who is minus one arm at that, recalled to the colors of Prance, it looks as though the wisdom of years was fairly well appreciated in this war. Battlefield is : ilent to tlie Airmen Bo far as the reconnolterlngairman is concerned, a battlefield is unite silent. The noise of tlie engine drowi s every oilier sound. "It i< very difficult to distinguish anything." says i Belgian aviator who new over ito- battlefields at Dlests when lighting was at ils height, ".Moil look so smali from such a height.

One Hundred Yearn Ago Sometimes when we hoar people speak of tlie "good old days," we forget how uncomfortable living must have been in some ways for our great-grandparents, More are a few of tho "discomforts," which wc don't have to put up witli loday. Merchants wrote their letters with quill pons. Sand was used to dry the l k, as there was no blotting paper. There were no slreet letter boxes, no postmen, nnd no penny postage. Travelling was by stagecoach. A day laborer received two shillings a day. stoves were unknown. All cooking was dono with an open 11 replace. In the cities many of the streets were unnamed, and the houses were not numbered. Cured of Piles and Eczema By Uuiiig Three .oxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment Mr. Abram Buhr.

Sick people are especially curious about the time. To make this longing casv to satisfy a- lirm in Paris has just, put on the market a clock that by pressing tbutton is made to project a picture of its face in a ray of light upon the ceiling. This clock, which looks like a young cannon, stands upon a box containing three dry batteries. Its mechanism is iu a metal tube, al one end of which is an ordinary dial. In tlie daytime this end is uppermost or foremost. But when night conies you turn the cannon over on its trunnions so that the reverse end is uppermost or foremost. In the reverse end is a second dial, of transparent glass, with tlio figures reversed and running round its face inversely, as do the hands. In front of this a plain cover lens and behind it a small electric lamp attached by wires To the batteries and by other wires to a push-button. This push-button can bo placed under the pillow or upon a tabic beside tlie bed. When one wants to see the time in the night one presses the but- ton; this lights the lamp, which projects upon the celling or upon tho wall a greatly magnified picture of its face, so that one can lie comfortably in bed and read tlie time at a glance.

HOW TOGQLAND WHS WON FOR GERMANY BAND OF FREEBOOTERS AIDED TEUTONS IN CONQUES7 Germans First Occupied the Country Some Thirty Years Ago, Enlistinu . the Services of a Savage Tribe to i Conquer tbe Natives. The f'.rst of ihe German colonies to fall Into the hands of Great Britain, Togoland, on the North West coast | Of Africa, has an interest for the ladies, as being tlie native home of the birds from ..hence come the high-' ly prized marabou feathers, Lome, the Capital, is unite modern. II is a clean little town with well lald-oul streets, shaded by palm and other trees. The principal building Is Un- palace nf tlie Duke of Meck1en< burg, the governor of Togo. To overcome the difficulties caused by the heavy surf which breaks almost Incessantly on the low sandy beach, n pier, a third of a mile lung, lias bee'l erectod, and connected wiih a massive wharf or quay at lhe seaward .ml. Unfortunately the natives are for- geiung how to handle tho surf beats, and some years ago, when the bridge connecting the wharf wiih tlie shore was destroyed by a tidal wave supposed tu havo been due In a submarine, volcanic upheaval, Lomo win almost entirely Isolated from the outside world. What is believed lo he one of 111.' most, powerful wireless stations in the world wns completed in preparation for tin' present war a few months ngo, at Atakpninc, about 110 miles from Lome. It is the chief receiving and distributing centre for the Gor- lmin colonies in Africa, and sine., messages can be either sent to, or received from, ..ar.en, just outside n.'riin, a distance of 8,460 miles, it was a most important link in Germany's world wide Intelligence service. Atukpame is the terminus of the railway, but the Germans have built a good road as far as Sokode about 100 : llles lo the north, air. a largo motov car has been provided to supplement the iron road for further progress into tlie fine hunting country nearer the inlerio'.' of the continent. There, however, the inhabitants ar_ hostile and treacherous, and have the disturbing habit of taking pot-shots at the passing traveller with tli?ir poisoned arrows. In this little-visited part of Togo- are immense quantities of game Antelope, leopards, and elephants abound, and many kinds of birds, including the marabou stork, whence come lhe greatly-sized marabou feathers. The rivers swarm with crocodile, and there are numbers of hippopotami. As regards Togo history, this only extends back about thirty years, at which time tlie Germans lirst occupied the country. They found it in possession of many different tribes, all hostile to one another, the domin ant tribe of the south-central region, dwelling round about where Sokodo now is, being the Tseh.iudjo. These people were originally a conquering tribe, like the Masai and the Zulus, and they swept down from the north somewhere about a hundred years ago, devastating the country as they advanced. They came riding on horses, and as these animals had never before been seen in Togoland, the terror they inspired almost sufficed by itself to ensure the defeat of the aboriginal owners of the soil. When the Germans came up from the south, a motley hut brave and determined rabble, led by a certain freelance adventurer named Kersting, they endured their first real check at the hands of these wild horsemen. Impressed by their lighting qualities, Kersting, following, in \ small way the example set by Cortez, In Mexico, and by Clive in India, allied himself with the uro���or king���of the Tschaudjo, and, aided by him, he eventually subdued the whole country and placed it under the German flag. The present uro, an old but dignified and amiable savage named Djoba, is the son of the mnn who fought under Kersting's banner. He resides at Bafilo, near Sokode, in a "palace" provided for him by tlie German government, who also grant him a small yearly subsidy. Although the 1 ull; of the Togo natives are, as has been said, in u condition but little removed from barbarism, some of the tribes, nevertheless, show considerable skill in handicrafts, Thus, at Bassarl and Benjnll, In the Konkombwii country, iron is mined, smelted and forged inlo various utricles, under exceedingly primitive, though fairly effective, conditions. Other tribes cultivate cotton, which they weave Inlo strong and serviceable cloth on curiously primitive wooden looms. Beautiful leather mats are also made, and large, strongly woven baskets of palm-fibre, which sell for about half a cont apiece. In the far north, the onl;- currency is salt or cowries. Amongst the Kon- boiubwa copper aud brass rods will purchase almost anything. THE DUTY OF THE BUYER Preference Should Always be Given to Home Products (From the Toronto Globe) If the patriotic manufacturer do.-s his duty to Canada by keeping his employees together, and doing without profits till the dip of depression is over, lie has a right to expect that the buyer will stand loyally besi'V him and buy Canadian goods w rever possible, nnd Ilritish goods in preference to those of foreign nations, t'ho instinct of self-preservation should leach the Canadian people that this is no time to Import things Hint can be made as cheaply and of as good qunl- Itj as home. The point is so clearly made in a letter addressed to the Qlobe by a man i'ucturing concern iu Ontario that space is gladlv given for it: "We note from your excellent jour nal that you have been endeavoring during the past lew weeks lo impress upou Canadian manufacturers the duly of keeping llieir plants running to Ilie fullest possible extent. Vou have pointed out that by so doing the manufacturers will be contributing largely tu the country in ibis present crisis. Willi Ihls we aro quite in accord. We would, however, draw your attention In the fact that there Is u limit lo Ilie possibility of any manufacturer keeping his plant running. "Wo an- a small concern, manufacturing small tools. Throughout the whole of last winter and up to the end of duly wo ran our factory full till'.', notwithstanding the fact that our production was considerably in advance uf our sales. Last, month our sales took a tremendous ilrop, and we have had to sllghlly reduce our working hours. Our object, in writing to you is In point out thai even m these times of depression thero is more than sufficient business in our line to keep us working full time. We are the only concern actually manufacturing our line of tools in Canada. In point of quality we are second to none. Our prices are competitive, There seems to us to be no good and sufficient reason for any of this business to be sent outside of Canada, yet it is a fact that this is being done. We suggest to you that you couple your advocacy of keeping the factory running with that of the duty of Canadians to buy only Canadian-made goods, always providing they are competitive in quality an 1 price with foreign goods." This is a most and It is to be hoped the readers the Globe will giv: it favorablo consideration. The buyer naturally wants the best value he can get for his- money, but if Canadian goods are as HELIGOLAND ISLAND IS WELL FORTIFIED THE NORTH 8EA STOREHOUSE OF THE GERMAN FLEET Millions Have Been Spent in Fortifications and the Construct! n of Powder Magazines���Provisions For Siege Lasting Three Years. Enormous sums of money have been spent upon fortifications at Heligoland. The island which has an area ot only three-quarters of a square mile. Is looked upon as one of the mosl treasured possessions of Germany. Since the Germans obtained possession of the island, enurniuus sums have been spent upon fortifications, and so ou. including $80,000,000 spun! nu protecting tlio coast from erosion-. Probably ii will never bo known how many millions Germany lias spent In strengthening the place. Hut It is known that u million and a half was spent in Improving the harbor as nn anchorage for torpedo craft. Millions have been spent In fortifications and the const ruction of powder magazines, while refuges have been built for the inhabitants ns a protection against the island being shelled liy an enemy. Two hundred leet from the water there stands a series of big gnu batteries and armed turrets, an attempt having been made to turn the island Into a German Gibraltar. For purposes of protection, a cliff Of granite was built, so that now the island to a large extent possesses cliffs which are purely artificial. In addition, hundreds of tons of cement were used to strengthen the face of the natural rock. .Most of the people depend for their livelihood upon the lobster and other fisheries, together with their harvest from the summer visitors. They live; to long years, and have a stheir native tongue the North Frisian dialect. In 1807 Great Britain obtained tho island from the Danes. When she took possession of tlie island It was the "jumping ground" of a horde of smugglers, there being practically nc room left on the island which was free from kegs and human beings. In 1890 we gave the island to the Ger- ,._��0____i_ ,._���,,���-i f mans as their consideration for our reasonable request, [ uklng 0V(,., Zanzlbal. am, Pemba, At the time of the bargain there was great dissatisfaction shown in each country. It. was recognized by many far-seeing men that so loi . as we possessed Heligoland the island was in the position of a menace to Germany. Those Germans who objected tc the bargain were sere that Germany did not obtain a,, much larger territory; even Bismarck said they had exchanged a pair of trousers for a mere button.

Modern warfare is a costly business! Some years ago a loading German Socialist estimated that a Franco- rman war, under modern condi tions would cost 160,000,00" a month, while if Great Britain, Austria, Russia and Italy were engaged, the figures would soar to $3,260,000,000 it month! There is every indication Unit these Figures are being attained, if not surpassed ln tbe big war in Europe. When one considers the upkeep of the vast urmlcs In the lighting line and engaged keeping open communication to the base, the material needed lo feed the rifle and big gun, and the continuous need of equipment, tlie figures quoted do not appear large iu proportion to the force engaged in tlie cjnlliet. But there is money to be made in war, ns in every business. Germany, for instance, profited much from the Franco-German war of 1870. Her war bill amounted to 1150,000,000, but when peace proposals were made, Germany presented Franca ���ith a bill of $1,000,000,01.10. li got every cent of it. It was the great Bismarck who arranged the terms of the treaty, and though he chuckled mightily at the idea of getting this huge sum from the French for stopping the war, It is said that he was sorry when he saw how readily tlie French scraped or Austrians in the United States with the amount together, that he had not a view to bombarding operations, or asked for double lhe amount: Qe. scoutlhg at fortilied or military points j many had previously squeqezd an lain Canada. j dcmnlty of over {40,000,000 out of It is a remote, but possible danger.! her present ally, Austria, after hos- i tililicii lasting only one mouth. ,.,u _����� , ... a��u. u. _ __. _._���_' Other countries, too, have found When Kitchener Asks He Gets Action i,ar .. very prolll;il)1(, {,uglne8Bi not. A story is going round aboul Lord j iU)ly j.tpan, who, after the war of cheap and of a-, high quality as for eign goods he is a very thoughtless Canadian who under existing conditions does not give the preference to home products. In this connection the Globe may bt pardoned .*. personal word. Many Canadian manufacturers making standard lines of goods do not) know the meaning of the word pub-1 licity. They expect their goods to sell themselves. They never give the public a chance to learn the brand or the quality of the articles they make. The greater part of the foreigr. articles sold in Canada are sold because by constant advertising the buyer is taught to ask for a cerlaii. brand or trade mark, In yesterday's Globe scarcoly a dozen manufacturers of the thousands in Canada thought 't worth telling the people about tlieir gcods. Two-thirds of the space occupied by manufacturers' announcements was purchased by Canadian branch; s of American concerns that knev. the worth of publicity. The buyer's duty is to give the preference to Can'adi .n goods. But the manufacturer's t'.ucy does not end when he makes the goods. He cannot hope to sell them in competition with well-advertised foreign products unless he lets prospective buyers know that Canadian goods competitive in price and quality are en th. marke*. Kitchener's way ot dealing with officialism, lie made an application to the post offict authorities for thirty telegraphists to go on active sor- i vice with the army. A high official informed Lord Kitchener that the] men could not lie spared, as tho staff i had already beeu seriously depleted j hy the war. The new war secretary sent back a message to say that if j the men were n-, cent inside half an hour he would coma for them him-\ self. Needless to say the men were i soon forthcoming. | British Fighting Families Lots of cases are on record of en- 1804-1896 with china, arising out Of the state of Korea, made the Chinese pixy her an Indemnity tf $185,000,- 000.

Oue half of the party, headed by Sir Ernest Shackleton, departed for Soir.fi America, the other half of the expedition left for Ross Sea, on the New- Zealand side of the Antarctic, by way of Tasmania.

We do not wish to encourage further use of French wishing to malntai;. our distinct individuality and cultivate British rather than French characteristics, therefore we propose taht Bel gium should adopt English as a national language, making herself the England of the continent and sister natloi of England of the Isle." The American Attitude As for the af'.ude of the American press, it never more accurately reflected the sober judgment of the American public than in condemning Germany's course in the present conflict. The indictment against Germany is founded upon the statements of her own defenders, whose admissions r.re far more damning in their evidence than any chi.rge of the Allies. A nation whose imperial chancellor ridicules as a "scrap of paper," the .lighted faith not only of his own but of otber governments, ca:i find nothing but condemnation on this side of the Atlantic so long as America remains true to her Ideals as a nation.���Boston Transcript. just, over half, and there seems little likelihood that she will ever raise the full amount. The cost of the Russian-Japanese war was staggering. Tlie campaign lasted about 19 months, and alto- gether it is estimated that the com- I billed expenses of Russia and Japan amounted to no less than {2,226,000,- I 000. The loss to Japan's navy and I mercantile marine alone amounted lo $250,000,000. This was the fourth campaign - upon which Russia had entered with- i in three-quarters of a century.

This was in 1828, and twenty- ' six years later came lhe Crimea, in which France and England took a hand. The total cost ot tills terrible war was {1,566,000,000. England's bill alone amounted to {390,000,000. The Napoleonic wars, which ended with Waterloo, were comparatively cheap for France, as the total bill amounted only t i {1,260,000,000. The present war will be as costly a on i for both conqueror and vanquished. Already Germany is endeavoring lo partly recoup herself by levying enormous exactions on the cities end towms occupied in the line of inarch across Belgium. Whether the sums will be paid before the invaders are driven hack across the frontier is another story, i.s it is possible that the Belgians will not submit calmly to tha exorbitant demands made upon them by mi enemy who has turned a beautiful country into one oi death and devastation. Hut Germany is certainly laying herself open to dreadful reprisals, for when this war is over the indemnity to be claimed from her will be simply enormous. Great Britain never has deliberately set about making money out of her wars in modern days," but she Will be perfectly justified in calling upon her enemies to meet Uie expenses they have wantonly run her iuto. for the West JL being attracted to the vast areas of fertile wheat lands of Western Canada. Only a small fraction of the agricultural lands are at present tilled and their cultivation is now a world necessity. There will be a world-wide shortage of food and the demand for wheat and all farm products will be enormous. High prices for ,grain are sure.to prevail. The coming year will witness the greatest activity throughout the West. The Hour of Opportunity has Arrived 'Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles' The German soldier's song in Ibis war is not the "Watch on tlie Rhine," popular in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, but "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles" sung to the air of Haydn's Hymn to the Emperor, tlie Austrian National anthem. The words were written in 1811 by the poet llof- mann von Fullersleben, lu ths island of Heligoland, then British territory, during his exile from Germany ou account of bis sympathy with the German reform party, Germany's Increase in Population The imperial statistical office lias recently issued a year book which estimates tho population of Germany on July 1 of this year at 67,812,000, n gain of 831,000 during the twelve months. Since tlie wnr with France in 1870-71 Germany has gained 28,000,- 000 in population. "It is well to leave something lor those who come after us," as the man said who threw a barrel in the way of a policeman who was chasing hi'o. Germany's Commerce Annihilated Germany's foreign trade is virtually annihilated. German ships to the value of {25,000,000 have been destroyed by British cruisers, and othert to an estimated value of {50,000,000 are"interned In neutral ports. There la no estimate to he put on the number or value of the German ships laid up in Hamburg, Bremen and other German harbors. Nowhere on the hifh seas is a German afloat except as a fugitive. This Is the immediate result of England's supremacy upon the seas. It is the result that would attend a conflict between England and any power. ���New York Journal. TuE CO U ft!.._.___ __EVIE .
