The chief had been a sufferer from heart and stomach trouble in a rather acute form for almost a year past. Belief, was sought in an operation which was- performed at the Bonners Ferry hospital about six weeks ago but it was only temporaryTand for the past three weeks his end was expected any day.; His age is given as" 36 years. The late chief was one of the school Indians, having attended the St. Eugene mission industrial school, and it was partly due to this training, as well as other recognized abilities, that led to his election as chief about ten years ago. ..-..-'���������' The funeral took place on Tuesday morning, Father I^ainbot of Cranbrook, the Indian spiritual adviser, performing all the last sad rites of the Roman v Catholic Church, Avith practically every Indian idenitfied with-'lthe reserve attending the service at the mission church, as well as ai the grave side. The deceased was accorded all the funeral honors belonging to the head of a tribe, the customary military salute being given . by a firing party of a dozen vedmen as the remains were taken from the house for the procession to the church. **'��������� .

In a limited way W. Carver seems to have been the only grower who will take off his expected yield. He figured on 30 crates, and early in the week he had gathered 25 of them. S.

Of course if there is no more rain the raspberry yield will slump as badly as the strawberries as compared with last year even, and 1916 was quite a dry season itself. This, fruit started snipping at most points in the Valley on Monday, and so far the outgo has been well up to last year's figures. Cherries are coming in in even larger quantities than a year ago, though in some cases they are considerably smaller in size but of good color, and so far the market has taken up everything offered, despite market reports that most of the prairie centres are overstocked. Small garden truck, of* course, is wilting fast, but fortunately this year few, if any. are growing much outside of potatoes and tomatoes, and our information as to the latter is that they never looked better at this time of year. Potatoes, too, are standing the drought in good shape in practically every field. Fraser & Son at Erickson are shipping out cabbage in quantities oa high as half a ton a day starting this week, but six or eight tons of it 5s their limit. Despite these fortuitous circumstances business* men in town report that the cash trade doing juat now ia the best for years back, and that back accounts are being liquidated in oqnally satisfactory fashion. This ia largely due to tho long prices that strawberries have been bringing. At Creston for the first soiling week tho iKinles brought $3.60 per orate and $ft for tho second week. For tho year the price will average bettor than $2.25, which compared with $1.05 for 1010 accounts for the present show of prosperity, to some degree ut least.

In consequence it was not until quite, on in the afternoon,, he not having shown up, that tbey began-to inake^a search *of the waters for him, coming all the way back to Creston without locating his body, although a careful watch was kept all around the spot where the empty boat and its eon- tents were found adrift. On Monday morning Messrs. Hurry, Hendren, Benny und Provincial police Johnston of Trail, who is here relieving Capt. Forrester, set out fully equipped for a thorough suryey of the waters and were only about fifteen minutes in sighting the body on the bottom* of the big slough near the ferry, about the spot where the boat was found the previous day. The remains were brought to Creston', and after the coroner, Dr. Henderson, had made examination, they were truned over to undertaker Hendren, who removed thern to his parlors, from where the funeral took place on Monday night, Rev. W. M. LeeH performing the last sad rites, with internment in the Creston cemetery. Messrs. R. J Long, H. Hamilton, F. R. Hurry,. E. Simmons, T. Harris and John Arrowsmith officiating as pallbearers. When examined by the coroner no trace of water was found In the lungs and It is assumed that death was due to heart failure, and that while struggling in the agony of the atliiek he had fallen overboard.

The inaugural meeting of the new 1917-18 school board was held on Monday night. The first and foremost item of business was the choice ofa chairman and secretary-treasurer for the year,, and the former honor was re-conferred on Jas. Cherrington, while F. H. Jackson was favored with the latter position, with C. F.Hayes named as secretary to the board for another term. Several applications have already been received for "Positions on the staff, and it was dedided to offer Division III. to Miss M. Kane of Kaslo, one of the applicants, and the board will, advertise in the Vancouver Province for a. principal and vice- principal. Principal MastertonV resignation was accepted with considerable regret. The relations existing between, he and the trustees had always been amicable and on the whole he made, a very acceptable head of the school. He will teach in Alberta next year, the board is informed, taking charge of a rural consolidated school. The board wiii continue to meet on the third Monday evening of each month, and the supei-intendentT'of education will be communicated, with at once for an advance of $2,000 to - meet the overdue teachers salaries, as well as to provide funds to take care of the improvements to the school, some of; which it will be necessary to undertake during vacation.

That evening, however, happening to call at his father's house and finding his sister alone, lie found that Marcia sometimes condescended to particulars. "You appear to have developed a sudden passion for this Mrs. Tressingham, George," obsevved Marcia sweetly, "shared in, 1 observe, by poor Letty." There was uo great amount of love lost between George and Marcia; the brother regarded the sister as an irritating theorist who could make herself remarkably unpleasant; the sister considered the brother as an opportunist, who, in common with all time-serving politicians, hindered the march of true progress. Consequently, they now' glared at each other. (To Be Continued.) His Excuse Owner���������Here, what arc you doing? Don't you know you're, not allowed to take fish out of this water?

Into Gre*������t Britain Minister of "Agriculture Prothcro, replying to the British house of commons to questions put to the government on the subject by J.lamaT Grecnwood, reviewed the circumstances which led to prohibition of importation into the United Kingdom of cattle from .Canada. lie continued: "Strong representations on this subject, but more particularly concerning the stigma cast on Quia-. diau livestock, were made to me by the Canadian ministers during their ~ " Canada disputes the genuineness of the cases on which prohibition was originally founded, and without doubt the Dominion has been almost entirely free from foot and mouth disease aud pleuro-pncumonia. Canadian feeling, therefore, resents thc imputation of infection. This prohibition of importation cannot, as I am advised by the chief veterinary officer of the board of agriculture,, be justified on the ground of health. Cattle bred and reared in Canada and leaving that country for the first time by direct shipment to a British port: ought not to be excluded under the Diseased Animal Act of 1896. I cannot say whether, or under what conditions, Canadian cattle of the kind "Here's a sailor ' says he raised chickens on the voyage. Where do you suppose he did it?"

When farmers here arc being dsked to reduce their livestock, permission is plainly impossible, but thc prohibition rests largely upon the agricultural policy of the United Kingdom, rather than on the risk of disease." "Are you economizing^ at >ou-r house?" "No. We're simply eating* less for the same money." it irked him a little to notice that Letty received it with a blank s'nilc. Of Letty, however, he expected little tliat was intellectual. "She's been most tremendously������ useful, Mrs. Tressingham," hc went; on.

Judkiuf", a Massachusetts physician, *were asked to mako a thorough teat ot tbe popular eye remedy, Bon Opto. "Their reports were most, interesting. ITere* tbey are; "Dr." Beck reports, "When ray attention v/as first called to the wonderful eye remedy, Bon Opto, I was inclined to be skeptical. I make it a rule to test every new treatment which is brought to my attention. Having specialized in eye work for the past twenty years, I believe I am qualified to- express an intelligent opinion on remedies applicable to the eyes. Since Bon Opto has created such a sensation throughout the United States and Canada, I welcomed the opportunity to test it. I began to use it in my practice a little over a year ago and I am frank to say that tho results obtained are such that I hesitate to tell of my experience ior fear ii; wiii sound incredible. Some of the results I have accomplished with Bon Opto not only astonished myself but also otlier physicians with whom I have talked about it. I have had many individuals who had worn glasses for years for far-sightedness, near-sljjhtedness, astigmatism and other eyo weaknesses, tell nie they have dispensed with them through tbe adoption of the Bon Opto principal..: Many eye troubles can be traced directly, to .muscular contraction: and relaxation and since Bon Opto method tells how toy exercise-and develop the eye muscles, it reaches conditions not possible through other means.' I advise every thoughtful physician to study Bon Onto principal, fc-ive it the* same careful trial I have and there is no doubt in my mind they will come to the conclusion I bave, namely, -that the' Bon Opto method opens ihe door for the cure or many eye troubles which have heretofore been impossible to cope with. The treatment is so simple in its application that it can be'used at home by anyone of average intelligence, tn my own practice I have seen it strengthen the eyesight more than so per cent in one week's tiuio. I have also used it with surprising effect in cases of work strained eyes, pink eye, iuflamraed lids?, catarrhal oon- junctivites, smartiug, painful, aching, itching eyc3, eyes weakened from colds, smoke, sun, dust and wind, watery- eyes, blurred vision,: and in fact, many other conditions too"aumeroiis'to. deseribe 1a tbls report. A new and startling case has jusfc come under my observation, wlni*h yielded to Bon Opto, is that of a young girl. 12 years old. Two prominent eye specialists, aftor a thorough examination of the young girl, decided iii order to save the sight of her right eye, the left eye must be removed. Before permitting her to be operated on, the young girl's father decided to use Bon Opto. In less than three days a marked improvement was noticed. At the end of a week the inflammation had almost disappeared, and at the end of six weeks the eyo was saved. Just think what the saving of that eye meails to this little girl.- Another case is that of a lady ninety-three years old. She came to me with dull vision and extreme inflammation of the lids and the conjunctiva was almost raw. After two weeks' use of Bon Opto the lids were absoiutelv -norma! and her eyes are aa bright as many a girl of sixteen." Dr. Judkins, Massachusetts nhysician, formerly Chief of Clinics in the Union General Hospital, Boston^ Mass., and formerly House Surgeon at the New England 13yo aud: Ear Infirmary of Portland, Maine, and medical author for many years, reports: "I have found oculists too prone to operate and opticians too willing to prescribe glasses while neglecting the simple formulas which form the baals ������������ that wonderful home treatment for eye troubles, Bon Onto. This, in my opinion, is a remarkable remedy for the cure and prevention of many eye disorders. Its success in developing and strengthening the eyesight will soon make eye glasses old fashioned and the form of eye baths-which the Bon Opto method provides, will make its use as common as that of th������ tooth brush. I am thoroughly con- vinced-from my experience with Bon Opto that lt will strengthen the eyesight at least 50 per cent In one week's timo in many instances. Dr. W. H. Devine, director of medical inspection in the Boston schools, in his report published February so, islT, states that only H,016 out of 89,175 examined, need to wear glasses now, a marked decrease over the previous report. Bon Opto is hastening.the eyeglassless age in bespectacled Boston." ^ Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses and' those who wear glasses will bo giad to know that according to Dr. Beck, and Dr. Judklns, there Is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were fall-' ing say they havo had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away." One man says, after using it: "I was almost "blind." Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and my eyea do not hurt any more. -At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses but after using this prescription for 16 days everything seems clear. I can read even fine print without glasses." Another who used. it says: "I was bothered with eye strain DR. JUDKIXS caused by overworked, tired eyes whleb to' dnced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years, both for distance and close work and without them I could not read my own name on an* envelope or tha typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether], X can ���������Cjj*ut t,xxii txtlttvxxxx^ a���������uT65 Ou juo Jbi6J3ir across the street now, which for several yeojw have looked like a dim green blur to mo. I cannot, express my joy at what It has done for me." "It is believed that thousands* who weavf glasses can now discard them in a reason* able time and multitudes more will be abl������ to strengthen thei** eyes so us to be spared the trouble and expense of ever gcttlne glasses. Eyo troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by the use oS this prescription at home. Here is the pre* scription: Go to any active drug stofo and get a bottle of Bon Opto tablets. Drop one Bon Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and let it dissolve. "With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times daily, you should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from tho start and inflammation nnd redness will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother you even n little, it is your duty to take steps to save them now before it is too Jate. Many hopelessly blind might havs saved their sight if they had cared for their eyes in time. NOTE���������Another prominent physician to whom the abovo article was submitted, suld: "Yes. the Bon Opto prescription is truly & wonderful ej* remedy. Its constituent Ingredients *vo woll known to ciuiuent eyo specialists and widely pre. scribed by them. I havo used It very enccese- - fully la my. own practice on patients whose eyes were strained through overwork or mlsflt eltuwes*.

"The "pipe" is made by thrusting two sticks into thc ground so as to meet at an angle; when they arc willfdrawn two tunnels are left behind. A hollow: reed is stuck in one hole, and the tobacco placed in the other and lighted. Before beginning .operations the native fills his mouth with water, drawing in the smoke with a gurgling sound and blowing out thc water and smoke through a second reed. A poor way of smoking to a white man, but the Kaffirs arc very fond of it. Indifference of Socialists The American Socialist's indifference to the European struggle puzzles mc. I should have thought that any man with a' single particle of social justice in his blood would be aflame with wrath against a system which has enslaved men, murdered children and violated women. Is-social justice a vital conviction worth fightina* for and dying for, or is it but a gentle Irish at the Front The most encouraging things ona hears about- the Irish question in these" times come from the fighting: front. A friend of mine wrote to me the other day that if it could only.be referred to a mass meeting of the Irish regiments, North and South, he verily believed it would be settled in a few hours. From thc beginning ol the war till now there has been the sentiment and a pleasing vision only; best feeling between Nationalists and wortl;;. talking about and., writing j Ulstermen, and the fact that they are It Is In Demand.���������So great is the demand for Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil that a large factory is kept continually, busy making and bottling it.

F. Haybs. Owner aad Editor ORESTON. B.C.. FRIDAY. JULY 20 A move that would be almost sure to get the Brewster Government every vote in tbe Oreston Valley would be tbe appointment of an official rain maker. A fellow who could make immediate delivery of a 24-hour downpour, to be followed by- seasonable showers throughout the rest of the season, would restore complete confidence in the administration, despite tha plugging, the patronage, the bad roads in these parts, and the failure to investigate the ferry removal matter. For the convenience of any newcomers who may be curious to know just how long dry spells oan last in this part of &CL, & citizen, whose veracity we have never had occasion to doubt, informs that about ten years ago the Valley went from May 24th to October 14th without a drop of moisture. This, of course, was under Tory rule at Victoria and Grit, government at Ottawa, but now the situation is reversed surely better things are to be expected. Should, however, history repeat itself, and prohibition become effective October 1st, this part will be halter broke (and some of us financially, too) for the new order of things. to the good had to come some time and the sooner we have it over with the better. All that remains to dose the incident is for ihe authorities to go after the back Cases. Times may not seem ideal for drastic action in this direction, but the longer the evil day is postponed the more aggravating the situation becomes. From present appearances times in these parts are liable to be worse before they become much better than they are even now. In addition to having the companies interested adjust telephone rates so that charges on this business shall be uniform both east and west, the board of trade should at the same time impress upon those in charge of the government line the necessity of installing a sound-proof talking cabinet in the central here. These listen- proof cabinets are very desirable anywhere, but more especially here, where central has but a board partition between it and the public waiting room of the post- office. This convenience is the more desirable sirce the line east is available, as it is sure to enjoy greater business than the west connection. West Creston people, who have been conducting' an active campaign for the removal of the ferry, inform that they have been advised that the matter is one that ia in the hands of the engineer as to the feasibility and expense of the scheme, while the local member will have the say as to whether the move is in the public interests at this time. This arrangement will suitthe ferrymovers admirably, we fancy, as they are thoroughly convinced of Mr. Keen's impartiality and likewise of the sameness aud small expense attached to the change. Now that that section is attracting men like Mr. Meakin to tackle cattle raising on some scale due attention should be given to providing every possible tranBport- *������.*on und ollioi ooijvtuuuitoo that the times and such industry warrants. Two weeks hence Creston, along with all the othar centres all over Canada, will, doubtless, be observing in some fiting fashion the fourth anniversary of Britain's declaration of war against Prus- edanism. Following closely on the war declaration we had the organization of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, and consequently its annua! meeting and arranging of ways and means to continue this work follows in natural seqnence. Before conscription became an assured feature of our participa- [ tion in this war The Review called attention to the fact that were compulsory military servioe enacted more as a sound business proposition this voluntary patriotic effort should be abolished���������along with the exemption enlisted men enjoy of not having tb pay back debts���������and if the authorities "deemed the continuance of patriotic (fund effort desirable the govern- [ment should assume full responsibility for securing the necessary money and disburse it as seemed to them in their wisdom the very best way. So Jong as voluntary erilistmen t obtained the necessity for something definite in the way of assisting soldiers' dependants was not so binding as conditions will be when compulsory enlistment is enforced. At present if a man decides to sign on he does so with all the facts as to pay and separation allowance, and the possibility of the Patriotic Fund lending what assistance it can as its voluntarily-contributed finance permits. But when the authorities take a man by the arm, as it were, and compel him to serve his country that man has every right to know exactly what provision is to be made for those dependent upon him once he gets into khaki. If the government cannot see its way clear to raise the men's pay so that there shall be no need of supplementing his earnings by what practically amounts to charity, then it should in all fairness see to it that the aid it is found desirable to offer from time to time shall be available promptly from a fixed source, and with no long tarrying.

It is a' reproach to Great Britain lhat Sir Hubert Borden should be aide to say 'without challenge that before the war Germany had a more systematic and thorough knowledge of thc resources and wlc- vclopinonts of the dominions tr.au could be found in the United Kingdom. "May wo not hope/' he asked, "'that after [\iv. war a livelier interest j will !.*<���' taken in the youur.' vn'frinci of i the. great i.rilish Commonwealth?" No statesman or parly who do not feel that in the policy of the future the Imperial interest mu.st 'have a place whieh it never yet has had will find themselves in touch with national feeling. The Imperial war cabinet is the nursery of hopes that will be fulfilled, because, it is the determination of all parts of the dominions that the inspiration war shall uot cease when ��:onics. ��� Edinburgh Scots man . A. Well Known Resident of Port) Hawkesbury Is Restored to j Health and Strength l One of the best known men in thei town of Port Hawkesbury, N.S., is! Mr. William Duff. He has been al member of tiie municipal council for 16 years, chairman of the school board, and held other responsible 1 ositions. Mr. Duff's words, therefore, can be taken as coming from a man who has the esteem and respect of his fellow townsmen. He makes no secret of the fact that he believes Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved his life, and that they restored him to good health, after several medical men had failed to cure him. Mr. Duff tells of his illness and cure as follows: "About four years ago I was attacked with la grippe whieh left me in a condition difficult to describe. I was attacked with general weakness, and a constant dull pain in the stomach. I became so weak that I could not walk a hundred yards without sitting down to rest. The food I ate continually soured on iny stomach. My nerves were all gone, and palpitation of the heart and a ���fluttering sensation all through my chest, especially at night was al- most unbearable. T was finally compelled to go to bed, and called in a doctor, who said my heart was affected, and treated me for that trouble. After three months attendance, and feeling no better I called in another doctor. His treatment also failed to help me, and I tried a third doctor. This one said there was nothing wrong with un- heart that the trouble was due to my stomach. After treating me for a time he advised that I go to the hospital at Halifax. On a previous occasion when I had an attack of rheumatism I had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided that rather than go to a hospital I would again try this medicine. 1 got a supply of the pills and began taking them. In a few weeks I could feel my strength returning, my stomach was giving me less trouble, thc palpitation of the heart disappeared, and after a further use of the pills I felt as well as ever I did in my 'life. 1 can <rttly .say that .1 feci more, thankful than words can express for what Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills have done for me." Vou can get these, pills from any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a bo5t, or six boxes for $2.50 fiom The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. Statist pressed by In discussing the recent Canadiar Pacific report, thc London Statist, which is one-of the most conservative financial publications in F.uirhrnd, has a two-page article Pacific Economies, though the volume of traffic was all that could be desired, 1016 was one ofi the most difficult years ever expert- j cuced. Enormous business had to-be! handled with a serious shortage of! cars, while the cost of material was! rising by leaps and bounds; fuel and j wages were increasing, and labor vva-:| scarce and less efficient. Had not the! road been vastly improved in recent; j cars and the capacity greatly in-! creased, serious congestion must : have occurred, making proper con-, j trol over expenditure impossible. i The Statist alludes further to the j great improvement in train and car-! load statistics and to the increased economy shown by the conducting transportation ratio. It thinks that notwithstanding the. advancing costs, the net earnings and profits for 1917 will compare favorably with those for 1916, and that there is every likelihood that the growth of the company's activities will prove as wonderful iu the future as in'the' past.

They arc the seven who direct\he These seven men who matter are the prime minister, David Lloyd George; the money minister, Andrew Botiar Law; the labor minister, Arthur Henderson; the two empire ministers, Lord. Curzon and Lord Milner, and two fighting- chiefs, Sir John jeliicoe and Sir William Robertson. They sit in a plain room, behind a 'dingy front, in one of the shortest and greyest little streets in England. In a room at No. 10..Downing street, the brain of the British Avar executive constantly at work. There is the war brain of the Russian troops over in Petrograd; there is the war brain of France "in Paris; there is the army direction of the ir-ountain fighters of Italy ixi Rome, the city of the seven hills; but this one war direction brain is respected and spoken of as more important than all. Lloyd George presides, and he, with Bonar Law, Arthur Henderson, and Lord Curzon and Lord Milner form the war cabinet. The other two who make the seven are Admiral Sir John Jeliicoe of the navy and General Sir ' William* Robertson of the army. Admiral Jeliicoe is the first sea lord and naval head of the admiralty; General Robertson is the chief of the imperial staff and military head of the army. The great war brain is we'll supplied with nerves which link up with the fighting machines all over Europe and across the deserts of Africa and . by the borders of the Tigris, and the Euphrates, where some of its forces are fighting close by the ancient sites of Babvlon aud Nineveh. The seven sit nearly every day in conference; the five sft every day. Tn bdth cases they are able to call in men who know various sections of all the various departments connected with fighting on the sea, on the land, or-in the air. If thc British war cabinet lias to consider thc striking of a blow in some new theatre of war, the five meet at No. 10 Downing street. Admiral Jeliicoe hurries across from the admiralty, in naval uniform and peak cap and carrying despatch boxes| General Robertson hurries across Whitehall from the war office. The council is complete. XThe prime minister, seated at the head of the table says: "We want to do so and so in such and such a region." General Robertson replies that he can spare so many hundreds of thousands of troops to carry out this new phase of the war. Can they bc fed? Instantly, with the ease of a man reaching down a hat from a peg, a'profound expert on the rationing of great armies is brought in. "Iii how many days can you provide the food for say, a quarter" of a million of men at such and such a place, so many hundred miles from any big source of food supply?" Clearly and quickly the answer is given. Can that number of men be transported to that place by.sea? Admiral Jeliicoe looks after that. With his fellow experts at his beck and call, he informs the cabinet, with marvelous speed how many transports it will require, how many transport ships there are available, how many of tiie Ijcrnian suoniariiics have been destroyed in that particular region, and what measures are ready to make the voyage ^of armies across the water almost as safe as a trip on a penny .steamer to Kew Gardens on a summer afternoon. Are there rifles, ammunition, field grenades, steel rails, tanks, trench timber, leather, iron, chopper, explosives and other engines and instruments of war ready in sufficient quantity for the equipment of such a force? Instantly experts who have spent a lifetime in equipping armies and great masters in the science of ordnance and heads of vast munition factories are called into council. Thus the new blow is decided upon and all is got ready in smoothness aud silence behind the scenes. Sometimes decisions made and consultations carried on by the seven are of such profound importance .that the enemy would give untold gold to know, what goes on in the plain room in Downing street. Sir Douglas Haig aud General Nivelle have been seen at 10 Downing street when nearly the whole world thought they were in France. Sir Douglas Haig can be in the neighborhood of the trenches in the face of the enemy at 6 a.m. and iri secret conclave with the British war cabinet at 3 p.m. the same afternoon: Not until hc has gone back, and has arirved safely at headquarters in France, does the government an nounce in the daily papers that has been here. The prime minister has been about a quarter of a century.in. parliament, and has held one great office after another in British cabinets. Bonar Law is reckoned the most gifted debater in parliament, and is now leader of the house of commons. Lord Curzon has been viceroy of India, tlxfcr of 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 people. Lord Milner was an expert on taxation and inland revenue before he went out to do imperial work which led to the establishment of thc Union of South Africa under British rule. Arthur Henderson became labor adviser to the government ttndcr Mr, Asquith; now he is the labor member of the w*ar cabinet. Admiral Jeliicoe commanded thc fleet which secured the safe transport of 7,000,000 by sea. General Sir William Robertson, chief of the imperial staff, has risen from the lowest rank in the British army to the high position he now holds.

"However, wc have helped to convert you and win you back to the right road of freedom and liberty, and on that road you are now making the biggest struggle of your whole history. I am lighting with you, and riot I alone, but thousands of my old companions of thc Boer war. "What has brought these men ?nto tlte struggle? I do not think it is love of the British Umpire. It is that tliey feci what you all feel���������that the greatest, the most precious and most spiritual forces of thc human race arc at stake. "Either we are going into the future under the drill sergeant on Prussian lines, or we shall move forward as free men' and women. It is not the battle of the British Isles or the British.Empire, it's the battle of the world .��������� And when success is achieved I hope we may bc all happy to know that we fought for lasting peace for mankind and that for centuries wars Will not be heard of again on earth." General Smuts said he was much amazed on visiting a certain South African camp to find South Africans who could not speak a word of English. It Avas difficult for them to understand words of command. When these 'difficulties were considered it was truly avondcrful to think of thc splendid services these men had rendered to tlic empire. To him, it was a wonderful thing���������English, Dutch aiid South Africans uniting in order to lay on thc altar the best they could give for thc good cause. It was a great privilege lo live in such times, ahd to takc part in tills (great struggle for humanity. Mankind Will See Things as They Are Dr. Macallum Tells Royal Society What he Expects After the War "It is my firm conviction that had the allied nations cultivated the sciences as they must do henceforth, there would havc been no war such os this." This was the dictum of Dr. A.B. ���������Macallum, F.R.C.S., University of Toronto, in his presidential address on "Thc Old Knowledge and thc New," before the' Koyal Society of Canada. Mankind today, as a result oi this war, has parted with some fondly cherished illusions, he' staled. It was a dark and sombre picture that would be. thrown on the screen after the war was over. "It will indeed be a new world and a new age, in which all thc shibboleths will hc discarded and mankind will see things are. ihey are," he as scried.

The best will be that the spring summer and early autumn offensive of the Allies will have fatally crushed Germany and made her complete defeat only a matter of a few weeks; the worst will be that Germany, by, averting a heavily punishing battle by systematic retreat, will have deferred the allied hope of victory until a future time not strictly to be. defined. What is eminently true is that the progress which thc Allies make before the winter rain aud snow limit active warfare will pre-dcterminc the duration of the present conflict. In six months' time we shall know the results of the. submarine campaign, and how far! short of his aim of starving us out the enemy has fal-' len. Alternatively, we shall know to what extent thc-Germans have stemmed the progress of starvation in their own midst. The next six months indeed, are.pregnant with lhe fate of Europe. The Germans realize the significance of the half year ahead . . They feel that what happens then may settle their destiny. History has no more vivid example of a nation fearful of disaster than Germany today, apprehending the probable, consequences \>f the. next six months... By every ounce of energy in her composition Germany will strive to survive the coming spring, summer and autumn,'Aftcr then the prospect is still dark as ever, for Germany is in the position of a gambler who wastes his entire substance, believing that if hc can only last out long enough his luck is bound to turn. "But let six months pass," argues the enemy, "and who knows what untoward events may occur in thc Allied camp; the unexpected is always happening*, and who, two years ago, would dare to have prophesied the end of cxarism?"

If the campaign is successful, all is well; if the results falsify his hopes, then, should he be still unbeaten on land, he will have yet another opportunity for a further throw of the dice. On thc other hand time is no longer on the side of the Allies in the sense that it was when the Entente powers were mobilizing their resources.. Food and finance now must be taken into consideration, and it is clearly to the Allies' advantage that they should ahcieve their purpose ai quickly as possible. Had the Germans elected to stand on the battered line of the Somme, we could safely have prophesied victory for the Allies by the end of thc year, for Haig would have broken their front and routed them, very much the same as General Maudes������ troops routed the Turks on the Tigris. , ��������� The Germans knew what was com* ing for them, and they quit in time. Refusing battle th,ey have delayed the issue, and thsre is no teliingf when and where they will stand to meet the assault of the Franco-British armies, or when aud where Hindenburg will use the manoeuvring mass, accumulated from the divisions released by the shortening of his line, and destined to be employed as the last desperate expedient against the;Allies. . But, sooner or later, within the next six months, the Germans will: be brought definitely to bay, and tested in a battle several times more violent than that which cost them six hundred thousand casualties on the Somme, and, compared to which even Verdun itself may,look a mere episode. Some time before this summer this battle will be fought. Some time before the summer Germany will be-able to calculate to a nicety what new accession of food supplies is available to relieve the hunger of her population. Thereafter; as the weeks creep round, the sign manual of Fate will be- written in flaming letters of red over the face of Europe. . Everywhere there will be food shortage���������the only difference be-* tween Germany and the countries of the Allies being one of degree. We shall be watching whether the starvation of Germany is complete, while- she, on her part will be watching whether her U-boats have destroyed a sufficient number of ships to bring* hunger to our doors. v Civilization holding its breath, *wi!J have but one thought; Who wil) starve first? On Austria and Turkey the seeds of revolution* will have been sown, and, about tjiis time, the kaiser should know whether these allies of his are to be more of a hindrance than a help to him. Bulgaria, which,entered the war believing that a victory for the central powers was only a matter of a few months' time, should, by then, havc had enough of thc fighting and bc ready to quit. If we had thc gift of divination and could see six months ahead, what a change in tlic war would meet our gazel \Ve should find the German cither retreating into Belgium, or being steadily bled while, on the vaunted Hindenburg line, as they were bled white on their two years' prepared line in Picardy. We should sec thc German leaders viewing, in hopeless fashion, .the 191.S winter food prospects, and discontent and rebellion sweeping violently througli Austria-Hungary. lt is too sanguine to believe that we will see the end of the war, but it i.^ reasonable to believe that the cud of the war will be in sight.���������From Aibwcrs, London. rV\m* \Jlfnt. f,,mA CTrsf.lr The war has advanced socialistit doctrines.
