II I ft 'J !i :f ll Cafe Chantant is Well Attended Those members of the Women's Institute in charge of the cafe chant- ant given for the entertainment of the members of the Forestry Draft in Mercantile Hall-.on Friday night, excelled themselves as hostesses at an affair of fchat * sort, and aided by a section of fche Valley's musical talent, pins a generous supply of refreshments, a thoroughly enjoyable evening was provided for. the large crowd of citizens as well as a full turnout of .soldiers who. were on hand for the affair. The function was a sort of free and easy. Tables were in evidence and cards provided for those who wished to entertain themselves in that fashion while the programme was going on, and later on came in very handy for the serving of supper. Capt. Mallandaine presided in his usual happy fashion at gatherings of this sort, very appropriately thanking . the Institute for their effort to pro- ��������� vide such appreciated entertainment of the Forestry corps. Outside of a reading by Pte. Henthron, and a tive- ���������, minute talk on some of his trench experiences by Sergt. Major Bryant the programme was entirely musical, and most every selection of fche right kind for such a gathering. r Instrumental numbers were provid-. ���������<*d by Mr. Collis, who fovored with a piano sole, while -with Mrs. Stark as accompanist* Rev. J. S, Mahood furnished a. cornet solo, "In Memory of Edwards" which was so well received that an eheore": was demanded. Two quartettes, -were given by Mrs. Lidgate, Miss Hardman and Messrs.

The accompanistes of the evening were Mesdames Attridge, Knott and Hamilton. The orchestra also furnished an opening number and the closing God Save the King. At the conclusion of the programme supper wus served and after it had been disposed of the; hall was cleared and those who cared for dancing were accomodated with splendid music by the orchestra.) the hop continuing until almost 8 a.m. Leslie Melnnis had fche very bad luck to lose one of the best dairy cows in the Valley on Saturday. Death was due to milk fever. So far but one case of measles has been reported amongst the school fchildren. At Creston nearly all the youngsters have been laid up as well as many of the grownups. Logging operations came to an end on Friday. Camp 3 and Ross' Camp closed down entirely. The Uri and Ramstad brothers have returned to Duck Creek, and Andy Miller pulled out for Alice Siding. Matt. Cla3'ton, who bfls been working on W. Searle's place slashing and piling during the winter, has the whole thing practically ready for burniijg.

The members of the Forestry Draft tried out their skill with fche rifle on Saturday night at the gallery in tbe Auditorium when a team of ten men tried conclusions with a like number of civilians and came out victorious by a matter of seven points, the totals being Soldiers 629, and Civilians 622. Everything considered the individual scores, are in most cases, quite creditable. Those who had been doing a little shooting previously were at some disadvantage in that the practice had been with a "rest," whereas the Saturday night contest was the "offhand" sort. -.'.������������������������������������'.-. The win by th& Soldiers came as a bit of a surprise,- as several of the members of the Civilians squad were marksmen of some reputation, while their opponents were almost totally unknown. For the men in khaki Pte. Brooks -was high gun, finishing up with a total of 92 out of a possible 100. Pte. Flesberg . with 761 won second place while J. King of the Civilians with 75 carried off fche third place honors. The, other notables were Pte. Wheeler with -:73. and Chas. Moore whose total was 71. All the marksmen showed at least 50 per oecfc. efftcieiiey ^wifch fche exception of Pte. Hayes, who was the lowest of the lot, with 26, and Tommy .Goodwin whose best was 47. The gunmen and their scores are: for drill. Earl should begbie to make himself useful as he is handy with a team, and at logging operations generally. That report from Sirdar about Mrs. North's hens producing 40 eggs per day.fpoin 60 birds is very fine, but don't, overlook this was the February showing. How about December and January. Most any old sort of a-ibid- dy will produce eggs in February, but it takes birds of quality like the I Trevelyan and Barraclough pullets to | deliver the hen fruit when the. big price is going earlier in the year.

The over- .strength is considered advisable as it is quite certain that the final medical examination will find a few more of the men unable to qualify. The first.lot of the men and the officers were np for fche third innocu- lation for typhoid this week. Lienfc. Westwood and his assistant, Sergt.

In the1 meantime it had to be removed, and Sir Penywern suggested that it should be locked in the tool- shed where the wheelbarrow was kept which had, in all probability*, carried the body to its grave. This suggestion was immediately carried out; the door of the tool-shed was locked, a policeman was left in charge, who was to patrol the vicinity of the shed during the night, nnd there being nothing more to see and plenty to discuss among themselves, the shifting, shuffling crowd finally dispersed.

In all probability if Germany had clung to the old methods and had observed the old rules of humanity, using, submarines merely to menace warships and employing surface vessels to attack commerce, shc would be much nearer victory "today than she is.

The Cult of Militarism German Psychology so Gross and Perverted That It Has no Parallel in Modern Times x^ Thc Germans had for years been preaching the doctrine and the cult oi militarism and infusing the virus of organized brutality into the minds of their people. This had not been thy act of a small clique or school of men, but their historians, professors, literary men and learned men had been engaged in a conspiracy ro" produce the result. Boohs wliich preached the doctrine of brute force, material arrogaure, and world-wide dominion, wen* circulated and read by hundreds of thotu-aiul.s of people in Germany almost unknown to the reople of this country, whose knowledge of German literature had been largely confined to the great writers of the past. After years of this, suddenly war broke out, nnd we found the revelation of this spirit in the acts and conduct of the people. We now know there was* no crime sn black, no atrocity so revolt ing, that would not be perpetrated by the Gcr- [ man people, and perpetrated with 1 pride and self-congratulation.

Two routes are under consideration. One is from Rossland and running in a northerly direction to Nelson and Kootenay Lake, thence south by boat to Sirdar and Crestou. The other route is from Rossland running almost due east and following the old Dewd- ney Trail to Creston". After studying question, for eight, years I have the following comparisons to make between the t wo routes *. First���������The route from Rossland by way of Nelson is approximately 00 miles off the main road, and twice the necessary distance the trunk road requires in order to be bruit, and will be both slow and inconvenient in its pur- pt >se. tWini R.j>ss1h.i><1. . - SJ.-''*o"'1���������'IMijj ������T>i������t*>! tiiim K.nsKlM.1 ivecoixier ror a "-.**, ���������V"V> "-���������--" ���������i'T"?

And further take notice that one-half the distance, has many other advantages over the Nelson route, It will open up new fields of industry. It will pass through large, tracts of timber coautry, mineral lands aud farming country. It will be a continuous j highway on land. It will eliminate | the great immediate necessity of build jing a road over the same ground to 1 tap the resources of the unlimited i weaith now denied transportation and ��������� open a way out for those who have i already spent hundreds of thousands | of dollars in the mining industry adjacent to this route, besides connect- ! ing two large areas of bench lands on | each side of the Kootenay flats with a ! raised high water level road built in ! the form of a dyke, similar to the one j on the boundary line between B.C. : and Idaho, which is not more than a | few feet wide, which has withstood ! the flood waters of the Kootenay fla'ts ! since its construction over 15 yeiirs The proposed road could be 1 much wider, with viaducts built where necessary to ollow passage of the over ; Mow waters of the Kootenay flats, and , a bridge built over the Kootenay I River, will make this a permanent I commercial and tourist route, which | can be tapped by branch lines to ] places tributary.

It should be understood that in oaae the road connecting' Oreston with the Summit country to tho west is not built theu Nelson ean retain then- trade and continue supplying tho mining industry practically at outdoor, which rightly belongs to the business houses and fanners of the Oreston Valley. Neisou people, and their sympathisers in tho th Version of this highway, seem to have a Chinese dream over the impossibility of engineering a road over tho high and snow bound mountains between Oreston and Rossland, while history tells us that the Dewdney Military Road served years of continuous traffic, and also mining supplies find its way over those mountains ever since the foundation of Nelson was first laid. At the worst there is only about IjJj miles on the Summit where the snow may lay longer than lower down, which c������������ bo overcome by iviutieling, or building snow sheds, and which would be only a fraction oftheexpense of the daily cost and inconvenience of maintaining a water route on JfcLoote- nay Lake, This road would connect the large srea of bench lands on the east side of the Kootenay flats with approximately 10,000 acres of the finest land in Creston District ou the west side of the Kootenay flats.' It would bring West Creston within a few minutes drive with a motor truck, and enable farmers on the West side to deliver their product to the railway . station at Creston at about the same time before noon as the farmers on the east side. It would be the means of greater production and inducement to farmers to settle along the line of this route. It would connect Creston with thousands of acres of lands sottablefor mixed farming, situated in the ravines of the west side of the Kootenay flats. It will assist lumbering and manufacturing, farming and mining, and all kinds of business in the Creston District. This trade aii belongs to Creston when transportation-facilities are established. ., A direct trunk line with Ymir, Trail, Rossland, and through to the Coast -will make Creston a prominent point for motor tourists and others, who will patronize our-;hotels, our farmers and merchants, whereas the Nelson route will see the motorists' and others fit out in Nelson and after a joy ride on "the waves of the Kootenay lake, they will sweep past Creston without asking the name of=the place, similar to those who, itravel^tjhrough on the railway.. This tr anyroad when built in a direct line troni Creston to Rossland will benefit Creston people in many ways. Industry will bring population. Let us adopt the motto that builds up populous places and that motto is "Creston for Creston." A prosperous community depends upon who the people arei. and what judgment they use. Creston has the resources that will make thousands of people prosperous. 'I would suggest that the citizens of tnis Valley communicate their approval of a direct, route of theproposedhighway through Creston to Rossland by way of- Summit Creek, and bewdhej'- Military Trail. ��������� , R.

Tho firm is also taking up livestock as a side line, and in the near future a herd of well bred cattle may be looked for. Not much is done in the way of small fruits beyond a thriving patch of raspberries. Mr. Jamis Maxwell rented his much last season so I did not have the pleasure of interviewing him. However, I found a thriving orchard of some 400 trees, mostly apples, and some lovely colored Duchess, Wealthy and Red Astrakhan were in evidence. Adjoining'is"the neat orchard of Mr. D. Timmons. Mr. Tiuamons has wisely confined himself commercially to two varieties of apples, and good ones at that���������Spy and Wealthy���������and in the past some splendid fruit has been taken from this ranch and eye. ��������� Some 900 trees are set put here, many in full bearing. Unfortunately scab hit here badly last year, but we understand it "will be fought pretty heavily this, season. The : trees are planted���������80x30 feet thus giving room for development, and so vigorously are they growing they will need every inch of it. The chief yariety of apples are Duchess, R.I. Greenings, Delicious and King David. Pears do exceedingly well here, and the Bartletts and Flemish Beauty were amongst the finest in the Valley. While many find the latter variety scab badly here it was absolutely clean, and as for size and color, well, Perfect alone describes it. As regards Bartlett they were almost unrecognizable as,Bartlett, so large," well colored and finely shaped were they. What a pity there is not a solid 10 acres of pears here. The large stacks of hay looked good to me and also, I expect,; to the live secured honors at . various shows, stock, which is a valuable adjunct to Nestling under Goat Mountain, and protected from the north-oast, lies tho ranch of Mr. J.

Tliere consist of Stark, Duchess, Wealthy, Ontario and K.I. Greenings, and have trunks bigger than a man's body. Some trees are nearly 20 foot In height, and as many through. Last year tho lower branchos were weighted to the ground with fruit. These large tree**, however only occupy a small portion of tho ranch, tho greater part having boon planted during the last ton years. Altogether there aro some 20 acres planted up���������mostly to apples, tho chief varieties being King. Yellow Ontario, Wagner, Rome Bounty, N. W. Greening and Mcintosh Red.

Mr. Geo. Hobden has two strings to his bow; and strong ones at that. A fine herd of beef cattle, -gome, very useful horses, and 600 apple trees form a nice mixed farm. Jonathan, Spy Mcintosh and Spitz, are the chief apples grown j and some of the cleanest fruit in the Valley was" taken from this property last year.- This grower should have a nice lot of Gravensteins only the nurseryman supplied him with something that was not Graven- stein and these will, therefore have to be worked over. Hay and rbots.for stock are not overlooked, and a goad breadth of gronnd is set aside for. this purpose. Neighbor to Mr. Hobden is Mi*. H. Downs, with 5 acres of practically two varieties of apples���������Jonathan and Wagners. This orchard has received very careful.attention and is in first- rate condition, consequently with normal weather conditions fruit of the highest quality may be looked for hsre. Mr. A. Duperry is one of the Valley's oldtimers and happened in on one of the choicest locations in the Valley, as evidenced by the luxuriant growth to be found here. Some 15 acres are under fruit, mostly apples, and then there is a fine lot of meadow land, a source of no littie revenue in the matter of hay. Red Astrakhans. Spys;-Kings, Rome Beauty, Wagner and Delicious are amongst the chief kinds'grown.- Attentioii is being paid to the workingrr?>vei'' of-"any undesirable varieties. Pears are qiiite at home here and some wonderful fruit has been produced. A ranch well cared for and a-credit to its owner. Across the road is the 10-acre property of Mr. Powprs, a "thriving young orchard just coming into bearing, Spitz, Wealthy and Rome Beauty are the varieties, the former being remarkably highly colored, of fine texture and excellent flavor. Here is also a good patch of Bing cherries. These are cherries if you like and the difficulty is not to find a market but to produre enough to supply the demand. Mr. I. Beam is looking after the ranch during the owners absence, and the neatness of- the place speaks for the interest he takes in it. Mr. R. Thurston has 10 acres of young trees looking well. They are mostly apples���������Delicious, Mcintosh and Wagner. Mr. Thut-Hton is at present "somewhere in Prance" doing his bit In the great cause, and we wish him a mife return, and may his ranch long be a pleasure and profit to him. Mr. P. Putnam has a nice showing in thc way of apples. Jonathans aro a strong f cut ure here amongst thc older trees and this fertile soil is just suited to this variety. There i������ no trouble in keeping up tint size of fruit here, nnd tho flavor and color leayos nothing.to ho desired. It. is no easy matter to keep the trees of this variety under control ho vigorlously do thoy grow. Mcintosh and Wugnor are also strong amongst tlio 1700 trooa this ranch boasts, and production will be on a large scale from now on. Potatoes and truck crops are also grown largely here, the soil fending ltfiolf to these. Mr. E. IIuMkiim adjoining is strong on applcH having about 1000 trees.

RC, FRIDAY, MAR. 30 Something is due to drop in the direction of National Service most any day now. To morrow is the last day for sending in the cards. While many are of the opinion that the Borden Government has not enough backbone to bring on conscription owing to the uncertainty j as to how Quebec province would take compulsory service, at the rate recruits are coming in these days something of the sort will have to be done to maintain our reputation as one of the fighting units of the empire, as well as to ensure the efficient operation of essential industries in Canada. If conscription must come the measure should he drastic. For far too'long have the authorities been playing at real wartime management of military and industrial affaire. ~" of affairs, the move will not be an entirely unmixed evil. -However, relief via amendments t<^ the Education Act cannot come in time to save the day. The department has said it will not advance the necessary money. The trustees are equally stubborn in their determination not to borrow it under existing regulations. Mr. in-arrears Taxpayer, its up to you ���������and the end of April is not so very far off. -- ' ��������� Most every worth-while rancher in the Valley will concur in the sentiments expressed by James Compton at the Farmers' Institute meeting a couple of Saturday nights ago, to the effect that assistant horticulturist Middleton Unkind Listen to this from the Edmonton Daily Bulletin, and then imagine if you can what is like to happen if the Ottawa authorities should even consider the imposition of a litile more tariff protection for B.C. orchardTsts in case the British embargo against fruit importations is still effective about next August. Here's the outburst: "British Columbia fruitgrowers now want the head tax removed so that Chinamen can be brought into the country to pick the fruit. Nothing is said about foregoing the extra duty put on apples a year ago. on the plea that fruit-growing is a more expensive business in British Columbia than elsewhere. The demand of the B.C. fruit-growers is that the laws of the Dominion shall be so adjusted as to provide formere failed to rid the oity of the painted ladies we commend to them the words of fche philosopher who penned the lines, "Vice is a monster of so frightful a mien, as to be hated needs but to beseess; yet seen so 6ft, familiar with its face, first we erdurev then pity, then embrace." This social evil has been with mankind since about the time of the flood, and will be until the end of the chapter���������unless different methods from those hitherto employed are adopted in an effort to lessen, if not eradicate, the menace. They have it figured out that potatoes, onions, beans, etc., will be in good demand at remumerative prices, and much of the land between trees will be cropped to vegetables as never before. There lis- an old saying about when people are going out of any particular line is the very best time to stay with that special commodity.. If it works out that way in the case of apples this year it will be entitled to a place among some "' of the ot her .sure things such as measles and mud. MRS. DOWNS, L.O.S. Eng. Professional Maternity Nurse B. C. CRESTON The astounding thing in connection with this latest effort to rid the province of fche red light evil is the almost unhumane and impractical method adopted. The I ladies are simply ordered ^.to move on, regardless of /the fact' that a similar decree is in force in all the sister provinces, and if no welcome awaits the unfortunates elsewhere it hardly seems human to premp- torily order one of the weaker sex to depart hence and be no more seen���������especially when her downfall was only in part of her own willing. Low and all as she is one must not overlook "In His own image created he them*'���������especially when the no admittance sign is up the whole country over. This is a Dominion them with pauperized labor and ��������� . .-, u1 *^ - ���������yes, a continent���������wide problem If the | ...j Al__._. tiukering With it by monopoly prices for fruit, quality of B.C fruit was as good as the nerve of the fruit-growers it would not need any protection make special effort to spend more against Washington products of his time in. the Valley. Fori ��������� almost two seasons past the local rancher has had to put with such instruction as he might require from Messrs. Hartill and Johnson��������� two very good men in their own estimation, though not nearly so highly thought of by the men in the orchard; dne possibly to their too-limited experience. The Creston rancher is about as particular these times as the negro pastor who, when about to launch a series of revival meetings, implored the Almighty to come to his assistance, and to come Himself, as it Was no job for boy& Scnooi mTrossBsfes When the cheques go out tomorrow for teaohers' and janitor's salaries Creston board of school trustees will have barely sufficient funds available to meet the same expense 30 days hence. The education departmemt heads have been appealed to'to send along Hnance sufficient to meet expenses to the end of June, but this they decline to do, stating that we have already had the usual 75 per cent* of tho amount voted at the annual meeting, and no more need be ex- peotod until back taxes come in. The trUj-Jtc'Cj*. are equally firm in tho matter. The only way they can secure money is by way of a loan from the bank, and as thin can only ho had on the personal note of two of the trustees quite naturally thoy refuse to pledge their own private oredit to keep a publio institution running. While it iH unfortunate the ���������situation is like to happen at auoh a critical tuna in the school year, happen it will unless parties in arrears for taxes pay up forthwith, or the. clcpartmcnt da Mn innocent fikrond Nothing new under the sun ? Forget it. An editor in whom there is no guile has just been discovered���������and in Cranbrook, of all places. A couple of weeks ago the Fernie Free Press made the statement that since Cranbrook had cleaned out the red light area the ladies of that section had taken up new homes in various parts of the city. When the Herald man saw the offending paragraph he immediately interviewed Mayor Clapp to know what about it, and the mayor unhesitatingly assured him "that the paragraph is an absolute falsehood and that every one of the inmates have left town.'* As if his worship, entrusted with seeing that the law is enforced, would make any other statement. Imagine what the closed" town element wonld have done had he admitted that even one of the fallen sisterhood was still lurking about the city. Under such circumstances even George Washington would have taken a ohance with his reputation for truthfulness. Next we know the Herald man will be taking A. E, Watts' word for it concerning the most likely Con- aervativo candidate for East Kootenay Federal honors, or R. E. Beattie's say so as to a winner for the Liberals���������or Joe Jackson's opinion as to the most popular conductor on tho Crow line (veraoity not absolutely an essential). and this tinkering with it provinces is the worst kind of a farce both moral and economic. If a linited effort cannot be made to work a reformation, among the inmates of these houses of prostitution, how would it be to try out a little legislation providing a jail term for the male frequenters without the option of a fine, or have the frequenters register every time they call and have this list published in the press the . same as they do in some parts with 'tiie list of police court convictions. If it is proposed to rid the country of this evil by process of law by all means frame the statutes so that the men folk will receive special attention from the authorities. While we are quite sure even this move would not entirely clean up matters it would help a whole lot. Where both are partners to the crime no favorites should be played. With strict regulations of this sort made and provided along with the "careful surveillance" of men of the Bridge type ifc would not be long before the evil would abate itself for lack of a sufficiently remumerative patronage���������even in Fernie which is said to be the worst offender of them all, population considered, ������������������idecj .'������ o;i- tond a lifcfclo temporary relief on the strength of these uncollected rates.

J I ��������� ��������� I. ���������., , |���������H. I.. I ,| Application of Naval-Strategy has been Practically Revolutionized ���������The Controlling Factor in the Whole War Proved to be the - Latent Power of Armored Squadrons An interesting review of thc part 'that sea-power has played in the war and references to the lessons that naval men have learned is given by Uic naval correspondent of tiie New York Herald writing from Lon- dpn. He says that while the principles of naval strategy have been the same for a century, their application has been so altered as to amount almost to a revolution. The first and most obvious teaching is that sea- power has completely justified the confidence placed in it. The lesson here is an old one emphasized afresh. Sea-power has saved the- Allied cause. It permits of the time and the creation of thc means by which victory will be secured. The use of sea-power is demonstrated not only by.the way in which the German merchant ships were swept from the oceans, but also by the manner in which the land and sea forces of the Allies are cooperating in three continents. No one before the war would have thought that, merely by the threat or influence of the Grand Fleet away in the northern mists, .great armies and all' that was necessary to maintain and supply them could be moved in security all over the world. That lc-sson was enforced at the very beginning of the war. It has been maintained, even though an important battle has been fought without that completely decisive result in regard to the smashing of the enemy's fleet which was hoped for. The controlling factor in the whole of the war is the latent power which lies ready at hand in thc armored squadrons now commanded by Admiral Beatty. That, is thc "sure shield" which the Central Powers must break down if they would alter the outcome of the war. Hitherto, both by the campaign of attrition and also by the "enterprise" which was frustrated off the Jutland coast, they have failed to do it, and their more subtle and insidious methods of attacking commerce by submarines, whicli are having the temporary success of most novel expedients, must also be suppressed in tunc I-cssons that were supposed to have been learned in the Russo-Japanese War have been found to be useless or even misleading so far as thc present struggle is concerned. For instance, after the Japanese attacks upon the Russians at Port Arthur it was said' that torpedo craft would bc the real factors in future wars, and it was- expected by some that these vessels might bc able to break up the Grand Fleet. They have failed not only to live up to the predictions made by their admirers, but to cut any-figure at all. Shortly before the war began it is said that the naval world was much disturbed by the large increase of range made by the torpedo and its destructive power. The "deadly accuracy" spoken of three years '.'go is a myth.

Nor has the mine" been much of a factor in the struggle, and it would have achieved much less, than has been accomplished had it been employed by a nation adhering to civilized means of warfare. German unscrup- ulousness, however, has scored some successes .with the mine. JS!either the mine nor the submarine nor the torpedo can decide this struggle. At best they arc mere aids to the battleship. The writer says: "In the fields of action there is to be seen ������he interdependence of the naval and military forces. The fleets of nearly all the Allies supply ships to operate with and protect* the-.flanks of their armies. It was thc turning of their flank by the Russian fleet which materially helped to force the Turks out of Trebizond and other places in the Caucasus while it was the failure of the Ge������nan fleet in the Baltic to accomplish a similar purpose that enabled the Russians to maintain their hold on Riga. There is also indicated by the events of the power. It is the mainstay af the Allies enabling them to do many things, but in itself it cannot end thc war as they desire it should be ended. The comfortable reflection that 'time and the navy will do the job for us,' which had many smpa- thizers in the late government is fatal in its tendency, toward inertia and procrastination. "Turning' to the material, the bat- tlcship maintains its pre-eminent position in spite of every attempt to threaten its supremacy by mine and -torpedo. Care has been taken to protect it from these devices, whose power has thus been nullified'. The submarine has not shown itself in any way to be more than a weapon of attrition and not an entirely effective weapon even in that direction. If merchant ships were adequately armed its success as a commerce destroyer would bc considerably curbed. Entirely new light has been thrown upon the battle cruiser, which novel tj'pe has justified thc hopes entertained in regard to it. Connected with this success -the Avar value of" speed has been demonstrated. This was shown quite early in the war by the achievements of the German raiders in thc outer- seas and again when Sturdee's battle cruisers made their swift and silent journey to destroy von Spec's squadrons off thc Falklands. It'has also been exhibited many times in the North Sea, where aud excess of speed on thc part of one class of vessel over another has enabled superior armaments to be brought to bear. In thc Jutland fight the fast battleships of the Queen F.lizabcth type gave splendid results. European Nations Hold a Big of Celestial Empire . To know something of the portentous possibilities of the British and Russian policies in China one need only think of the vastness of the territories which they have staked out for themselves. Russia claims as her sphere of influence outer Mongolia (1*000,000 square miles), Sinkiang (548,000 square miles) and more than three-quarters of Manchuria (273,000 square miles). These total an area of 1,821,000 square miles. On the other hand, Great Britain claims Tibet (533,000 square miles) Szechucn (218- 000 square miles), Kwanttmg (86,- 800 square miles), and the provinces along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (about 362,000 square miles) making a total of 1,199,800 square miles for the British sphere of influence. In the south, France claims Yunnan (146,700 square miles) as her sphere of interest. Before the Avar Germany claimed Shan-tung (55,900 square miles), whence she Avas scheming to expand in various directions. Thc chief source of misconception on the part of Americans concerning Fair-Eastern affairs lies in their ignorance of Chinese geography. Open the map of China, mark out the spheres of influence established by European powers, and compare them with the Japanese sphere. Then you will begin to wonder why it is you make so much ado about Japan's activities in China. As against England's 1,199,800 square miles, and Russia's 1,821",000 square miles, Japan's sphere of influence consiting of southern Manchuria (90,000 square miles) eastern inner Mongolia (50,- 000 square miles), Fu-kien (46,000 square miles), and a portion of Shantung (18,600" square miles), totals 204,600 square miles.���������K.

Japan's Shipbuilding Power Have Developed Such a Degree of Efficiency That Their Ships Compare Well With the British Japan as a shipbuilding power is making rapid progress. Mr. Naka- bashi Tokugoro, the greatest li\*ing authority on the mercantile history of Japan, predicts that for the next three years Japan^ will make a delve into the needs ��������� of the Pacific and place ships on her waters equal to any that cau bc built out of Great Britain. Thanks to the demands due to the war, aii ship-building yards in Japan have done record work and effected extensions and improvements. The Mitsu Bishi Dockyard, the Kawasaki Dockyard and the Osaka Iron Works are fully equipped for building ships of any size, and each is trying hard to" outrival the other in its appointments. The Japanese naval architects and the workmen iu the yards arc iioav practically independent of their western-instructors. Formerly their duty lay essentially in copying or converting thc models given by British and other foreign masters in the art of shipbuilding. . . The war conditions compelled the Japanese engineers to rely on their own resources, and for certain materials which tliey had formerly obtained exclusively irom abroad, they have had to find substitutes, and tliat in the shortest possible time. They have been taught by - experience that a considerable saving could bo. effected both in thc quantity of materials and thc amount of labor needed to complete particular sets Speaking recently before the New York Credit Men's association, J. S. Dennis, assistant to Lord Shaughncssy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, presented some facts relating to Canada and expressed the hope tdiat these would "j'Rstify^your organization in ' including us in the list of nations whose credit is good and with whom your neighborly and business relations should be extended." Mr. Dennis' address, in part, follows: "Canada,, as you know, OAvns-. and occupies a larger portion of the North American continent 4han is comprised in the United States.

"It is desirable that I should point out \ certain of the salient features regarding ' Canada's ^progress and opportunities for future development. "Canada has-iioav reached Nationhood in thc spnse of being admitted to 'senior partnership in the firm of British Empire,' and in thc further sense that "the name 'Canadian' is noAv recognized throughout the world as representing the citizen of a virile nationalit\'. "Conditons in Canada today are more or less affected by the Avorld- wide war in which she is taking a part as a portion of the British .Empire. "Canadian trade is on a sound basis and. prosperous conditions exist throughout the Dominion. It is true that a considerable portion of this prosperity is due to the vast expenditures in Canada for Avar munitions" snd Avar supplies avc" to the enormously increased prices which are being realized for food products, particularly wheat and other grains : grown in the western portion of the Dominion; but excluding this fictitious trade prosperity, 1 may point out that the busini&ss of the Dominion sIioavs a healthy growth, as is evidenced by the following figures: _ As a result of existing- conditions throughout thc British Empire, it seems quite certain that at the close of the Avar we will have preferential trade within the Empire, and, -'that being the case, Canadian goods will have a tariff preference in all markets of thc British Empire, and . it seems reasonable to suppose that we will have at least a sympathetic trade preference in the countries that have been allied with Great Britain in the Avar, which should give Canada a special opportunity for trade extension, especially in the great Empire of Russia, where, without doubt, great opportunites Avill- offer themselves for trade extension." Mr. Dennis closed Avith an appeal to American concerns to consider whether it would not be to their advantage to establish branches in Canada and to invest capital here in order io participate in a share of this prosperity present aud to come. / Germany Offered Constantinople Generous With Offers at the pense of Powers "Leagued Es> With Her rh of work. In fact, they have developed a degree of efficiency esscntial- lj their own. The result is that Japanese shins compare well with English-built ships, not only in cost but in Avork- manship as well. In the manning and'management of ships the crucial experience of the past two years has taught the Japanese owners to economize labor without -decreasing the efficiency of the men employed. Before the Avar, it was common knowledge that :\ greater number of hands were > required in managing'- a Japanese ship than Avould lie the case were British or other foreign sailors employed. The heavy work they had to go through has unwillingly enhanced thc working capacity of the Japanese sailor.

This is known in diplomatic circles in Berlin to be accurate) according to a wireless despatch. lt is interesting, in the connection, 'to recall Germany's different attempts to buy a separate peace with one or the other of the alUcs at ths expense of other powers leagued with her. These may be summarized thusr Germany offered Russia the Austrian province in Galicia, and subsequently the whole of Galicia; also the Austrian province of Bukowina.' To Italy she offered a large slice of Austrian territory in Southern Tyrol and further south as thc price of neutrality. Subsequently Germany offered Rumania the greater part "of the_ Austrian province of BukoAvina and a strip of Hungary as the price of Rumanian neutrality, or co-operation with the Central Empires. Thc last offer of this kind is thc. one Hanotaux mentioned. / The problems connected, increase of hcr population The old fanner, with his seventeen year old .son, entered tlic editor's office .and said: "This boy of mine Avanl'i to go into the lilcrary business.
