Voice of Victoria on Navy Question Is Expressed Un- mistakably at Great Public Gathering in Tiieatre

SPLENOID SPEECH BY

MR. PHILLIPPS WOLLEY

Sir Ricliard IVlcBride Arouses Entiiusiasm of Audience- Bishop Roper and Mr. W. H, Langley Speal<

Packed from pit to dome, the voice of British Columbia. Judged from a declnration made by Sir Richard Mc- Bride In respect to Canada's position in the matter of participation in the naval defence of the empire, was heard at the Victoria theatre last evening on the occasion of the annual rally under the auspices of the Vic- toria and Esquimau branch of' the Navy League. And that It was also the voice of Canada was made equally clear in an inspiring message from the premier o-f the dominion. Right Hon. R. L. Borden, which was read to the meeting by the president of the league. Mr. CUve Phillipps Wolley.

The outstanding feature of the iii^."tlnBr, which was thoroughly repre- sentative of all classes in the Capital City, was the absolute unanimity of Bentlment that the time had arrived when Canada should cast off the shackles of apathy and render that measure of assistance to the mother- land in the matter of Imperial de- fence wiiich b^JB been long overdue; llwid a .*reat wave c^t|^|p;plau»e swept over the vast audle|iW^-<hS'' the read- ing of a aiessage from the federal premier, with the significant state- ment that he could promise that the labor.9 of the people of British Col- umiba to advance the cause of co- operation by Canada In naval defence had not been mado In vain. P«trlotlo BpaeohcB

The speeches were of a kind to stir any Canadian audience to an outburst of patriotic feeling, and to a British Columbia audience they appealed with especial force. The chief addresses of the meeting were made by Mr. Wol- ley and Sir Richard McBrlde. Both were nrvasterly efforts. The former, from his long study of the question In hand, and his labors in Navy League work in thl.s province, was able to present a mass of statistics which proved most impressive. Ho dealt also with the development of the mighty British empire, and then with the position of Canada — pointing out that from a logical standpoint the duty of the Inhabitants of the Domin- ■ Ion was clear. He made a stirring pleo. for an Immediate contribution by the Dominion government which would be adequate to the present emergency, this to be followed later by the formulation of a permanent policy. He proved in the most con- clusive fashion that the German men- ace was a real one, the naval growth of that nation clearly having but one object — to contest with Britain for the mastery of the seas. Mr. Wolley qualified this utterance, however, by the declaration that he did not be- lieve the Kaiser personally desired *var, but he believed there was be- hind him a drU'lng force in the war party in Germany which would prove Irresistible.

Sir Richard McBrlde's speech was characterized by a cautiousness In utterance which befitted one occupy- ing 80 high a position amongst the statesmen of Canada. This outstand- ing feature of bla address, which In substance was a whole-hearted sup- port to the federal premier In his effort to formulate a policy which would be In the Interests of Canada &a well as the empire, was hl.s declar- ation that the resources of this great province were a tempting bait to those alien nations, which could hard- ly bo odndemned if they cast envious eyes upon It.

DEATH OF SENATOR

Eon. Adam Can Bell, of Pioton, V. ■., VaMMS Away at Xoatreal

MONTREAL. Que., Oct 30.— Senator Adam Carr Bell, of Plctou, N.S., passed away at the Royal Victoria hospital ■hortiy before 8 o'clock tonight, after being in Indifferent health since July. Dr. John Bell, of New Glasgow, was the only member of his family with h!ni when the end came.

Senator Hall, during the hot weather In July, walked ten miles in the sun, an-d; after resainiiiK his resldeiioii la New Glasgow, suffered a collapse, and took to bed. Karly In October, accom- panied by his son, S. Adam Boll, be went to Mount Clemens sanitarium, near Detroit, and the chaiige seemed to benefit him considerably. On his Way home, he visited friends In Mont- real, and while there, he decided to go to the Royal Victoria hospital for treaimerit, his son'"'gtjing on id NeW-- Glasgow.

While in a weakened state. Sen- ator Bell's condition was not regarded as being immediately serious, and he soon recovered from a minor operation, which was performed on him at that _JnstI tu tlon, On Tuesday, however, he

began to. sink, and Dr. Bell, who had come to the city while his father was being operated upon, wired to the fam- ily to come to Montreal.

Importers of Cement Will Have to Pay Full Customs Charge After Today — Suspension Only Temporary

OTTAWA, Oct. 30.— Importers of cement will pay full duty after to- morrow. Owing to the demand frbni the West, the government, on June 1, reduced the duty on cement by half, or, rather, agreed to return half the duty collected. In effect, this reduc- tion of the duty was from 52c a bar- rel to 26c a barrel. There were largo Importations at the reduced rate, and protests were received from the Can- adian cement manufacturers. In answer to them, the finance niinister said they had no cause to complain, for, taking into consideration the freight rate*, cement manufacturers* protp.ct(lon, with the tariff at 2(>c a barrel, was 35 per cent, while with the tariff at 52c, the prote^ction was 75 per cent. The higher rate goes into effect tomorrow at noon, and will be collected .at least until the minis- ter of finance delivers his budget.

There is a possibility that a change in the duty may then bo announced, but no official statement to that ef- fect has been made.

MONTREAL. Que., Oct. 30.— That facilities for drinking increased drunk- enness, that Montreal's drinking placos were places of danger to the youths of the city and that there should be a de- crease in the number of the city's drinking places, were views strongly expressed by Right Rev. J. C- Farthing, bishop of Montreal, speaking at the opening sesalons of the provincial li- cense commission today. His Lordship declared that the sale of liquor in the city was not sufficiently controlled In some parts, and that the deadly story Of what drink did In Montreal was suf- ficient reason for reducing the number of the licenses held.

The whole question of the sale of In- toxleants In the province of Quebec was taken up, with hearing the testi- mony of prominent workers, each and all of whom agreed that a red\ictlon of the number of saloons in Montreal was a vital necessity.

Headed by Mr. Nazaire Qauthler. president of the organization, there were fully a dozen officers and mem- bers of thw Licensed Victuallers Asso- clatldn, with repre«entfl.tlvei« from Quebec and other provincial points, with their legal counsel, friends and aynipathlzers, while the temperance movement was represented by clergy- men of all denominations, rept-esenta> tlves of the Independent Order of Oood Templars, the Moral Reform Associa- tion, the Dominion Alliance and Wo- men's flocletles, the temperance com- mittee of the St. Jean Baptists Society and others.

OTTAWA, Oct 30. — Hon. Louis Co- derre will begin his duties as Secretary of State and Minister of Mines on Thursday. He also has the direction of tile printing bureau, of the issuing of ifctters patent, of passports, and he Is rtsponalbla for the great stal of Can- ada.

Hon. Dr. Roche today took over the department of the interior and now has tlie custody of l>omlnlon lands and of the admission of Immigrants. Hon. Robert Rogers took over the department <ii' public works and has suptrvlslng authority over the expenditure of forty million dollars which parliament voted for dredginy, wiiarvi'.s ami pu!)llc build- ings.

If, as is Intimated, opposition is forth- coming In Hochelaga to Hon. Louis Coderre, the I'rime Minister will prob- ably take a hand In thu contest and address meetings on behalf of his new colleague. In this event it is rea.son- able to anticipate some reference to the main questions which will be •submit- ted to parliament, including tlie navy.

Now that the cabinet re,adjustmcnt has been arranged, preparations are go- ing on apace for the openlit|f of parlia- ment three weeks hence. The main estimates Will be ready at the start, also the Bank act and the West Indian trade agreement, but having regard to the fact that the naval question was pri- marily responsible for the ftill slttiiiK, It Is very likely that It will come up as soon as possible after the address la disposed of. Whether a redistribution bill will be brought down this session is still an open question.

He had been sinking Klnce early morning, and it was real- ized that death was a quoBtlon of only a few hours. There was slight relief shortly after 7 o'clock, caused by an apparent improvement in condition, but it did not prove real or laBLina, and at the best gave only temporary hope. At 8 o'clock thn patient's temperature rose to 106. From that time his con- dition rapidly passed from bad to worse until the end.

Makers of Steel Rails in/Do- minion Unable to Bid for Big Australian Order to Build Transcontinental

Rt, Hon, Winston Churchill Points Out How Balkans Conflict Arose Despite Dip- lomacy and Efforts of Rulers

BRITAIN MUST PREPARE

FOR ANY EMERGENCY

OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. SO. — V. H. Ros*, Canadian trade commis.sioner at Mti- bourne, Sydney. Jn » report to the de- partment of trade and commerce, re- veals the Interesting fact that the cam- paign Of steel manufacturers, who are applying 'or an Increa.ne In, duties, re- centl.v d'Tl'-npil to bur for a larf^e order in Au.«tra]la. Mr. Ro.-is .lays:

"ITulI particular!! concerning the HG.OOO tons of steel rails and fish- plates required In tlie construction of the Transcontinental railway appeared in weekly reports number 130 (Ajiril 22, 1912). None of the tenders re- ceived by the commonwealth were given. A special effort was made by the office (through the department of trade and commerce, Ottawa) to in- terest C.in.idian rollinK mills in regard to these orders, for which the Aus- tralian government agreed to accept special deliveries. Heavy forward con-, tracts and a strong demand precluded Canadian makers of steel rails from submitting offers for oven a portion of thir. large tonna»se. T.Tp to this date, the contract has not beerl placed, but to proceed with construction It seems Impcrallvi? that the government would he compelled to order a considerable fiuanlity of rails at the higher rates now ruling."

LONDON, Oct. 30. — Right Hon. Win- ston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, speaking at the Shef- field Cutier.'i' feast tonight, devoted lii.'S main remarks to the Balkan events. He expressed the fervent hope that when the war was over, the nations' would be united in the resolve that in all the Balkan difficulties there should never be another war, and that the long, dismal chapter of human mlse'ry unfolded in that region of the workl, should In one way or another be closed onco and forever.

There were happy signs, he said, that all the >powers were honestly .striving to adjust the difficulties and bring their combined Influence to bear to make an end of the long, fierce and diaaalrous struggle, and to secure a settlement Just to the belligerents and beneficial to the populations concerned. Referring to the attitude of Britain, he said:

"We, In England, sometimes have hceii Bssufed by persons who profess to know that the danger of war has be- come an illusion and that the danger would not exist at all but for the ma- chinations of statesmen and diplomats, or for the intrigue of financiers, aided by the grroundless susploiona of iren- erals and admirals, and fomented by the sensationalism of the press. Well — ^here Is war, a war that arl*<u« from noiM of those causes. In spite of all that rialere aiad dlplorrtats oould do.

Three Victims of Tragic Hap- pening in Saskatchewan Vil- lage-^AIarm Given Too Late to Effect Rescue

MOTHER ABSENT WHEN OUTBREAK STARTS

HALBRITE^ Sask.. Oct. 30. — The worst tragedy which has ever hap- pened In the history of the vllla«fe oc- curred this morning, when three little children belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Oerrish met death in a burning house on the outskirts of Halbrlte.

Mrs. Oerrish had been helping her nearest neighbor during the ""night, whose ohild was alck. This noornlng Mrs. Oerrish put on a fire In her own house, and ran across to see how the slok child was. The outbreak started from some unknown cause, and had gained great headway before her atten- tion was called to It. An alarm was given, and chemical engines from the town were soon on the scene, and the fire was got under control enough to enable the firemen to recover the bodies of the children, which were badly charred.

Mr. and Mrs. Oerrish are both hard- working, Industrious people, who came from New Brunswick about one year ago, and everything they possessed was In the houm. They are destitute, and a benefit fund has been started

OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. SO. — According to official reports received here the Aus- tiallan commonwealth during the Urst Seven months of this year received 95,532 immigrants, while no less than 45,623 left the colony, thus showing a net gain In the immigration of only 49,961) during the period stated. Of the total arrivals, 83,640 were British, the Ijalance being composed of Gcrrnans, Italians, Russians, Greeks, Danes and a number of Asiatics and colored peo- ple. The activity of some of the Aus- tralian states In sending capable offi- cers to Great Britain and the extensive circulation <>f immigration literature are, in the main, responsible for the Increa'se in flguros. All third class ac- commodations in the principal line of steainers leaving London for Austra- lian ports httvf been booked for several months ahead.

It is estimated that the present year will constitute a record regarding the number of immigrants landing.

TOROWTO. Ont., Oit. SO.— Borne' «tt««* gestions as to the best way to make newcomers to Canada good Canadians were offered by Zf**.. Lash, K. C, at the luncheon of the conference commit- tee of the board of trade today. Mr. Lasl. urged the need of a campaign of education. Members of parliament and public men should take every oppor- tunity to furnish information in their speeches; the newspapers should pub- lish articles of Interest to Immigrants, and at least one Journal should bo published to instruct them upon Cana- dian questions.

Mr. Lash suggested that the provin- cial sovernments .^honld consider the advisability of uniting to produce a textbook for use in a.l\ oehoola In the ■Dominion. This work should present In an attractive manner, the history of Canada and should teach the children why Canadians have stood firm in their adherence to Great Britain and whet is meant to be a citizen of a nation with- in the British Empire.

INVESTING FORCE

AROUND ADRIANOPLE

Nazim Pasha Claims to Have . Gained Success in Struggle in the Vizaregon— Bombard- ment of Tarabosch

LONDON, Oct 3J.. — The' silence of Sofia concerning the great battle In Thrace has at last b«en broken by a brief dispatcli announclTig a Bulgarian victory and the capture of the town of Lule-Burgas. This and a dispatch equally laconic, from the Turkish com- mander, contains the only news yet available and still leaves the situation rather obscure.

The message from Sofia apparently refers to earlier events, while the dis- patches of Nazim Pasha, the Turkish commandor-in-chlef and minister of war, describe two battles, one a sortie from Adrianople in the direction of Maras, and the oth* in the direction, of Vlaa. from which it must be Inferred that the engagements are extended over a long front.

A Sofia dispatch sent before the cap- tore of Lule-Burgas was known throws a new light on the disposition of the Turkish forces. It Is evident that early reports of the takln-g of this town we^e premature. It appears that the TurKa' ^rpt Une pf defence extended along tbe terkene river, with a second line from Demotlca to Lule-Burgaa.

TtattUh ancoMB. Both sides claim victory, but there Is no reason to doubt that the TurKlah second line of defence haa been broken. Up to the present the Bulgarian official dispatches have been more reliable than the Turkish. Naalm Pasha claims Vic- tory In the Vlzaregon. Sofia is still silent regarding this section, and al- though the revelations concerning the demoralization and disorganization of the Turkish forces would predicate fur- ther defeats, some doubts are still ex- pressed here as to the position of the Bulgarians, whoso continually extend- ing lines of communication and the ne- cessity of keeping a large Investing force around Adiianople might prove a source of danger if Naelm Pasha Is able to take a vigorous offensive action.

That the Bulgarians are bringing up all available reserves is evident, accord- ing to a dispatch from the correspond- ent of the Vienna Relchspost, who re- lates that Bulgarian reserves were ar- riving all night In the vldnlty of Adrlanople, They were without uni- forms and were drafted Into line In the national costume but were adequately armed and supplied with ammunition, bayonets and cartridges.

No definite news has been received from the other allies as yet. The Monte- negrin commhnder is still hammering at Tarabosch, but Is observing more caution In order to avoid needless sacri- fice of life.

Evidence of the Imminence of th" ef- forts on the part of the powers to In- tervene in favor or peace comes in an oflldal pronounceipent of the Bulgarian position published in seml-offlelal news- papers, which plainly declares that the allies will not be deprived of the fruits of victory.

tng th« province from end to end he waa convinced that British Colunj- blana. almost to a man, were deter- mined to uphold the honor and micht of the motheFland. and to that end were prepared (o support a atronsr naval polloy by the Ottawa govern- ment , ' . . ,

Sir Rti;bard took occasion to com- mend to the audience what he termed a hiasterly' analysis ot the situation, which had been rpade by Chief Justlca Hupter tn a letter to Mr. Wollei', which had been previously read to the meeting, declaring that any Cana-' dian who would decline to follow the advice therein given was unworthy of his citizenship.

Sir Richard drew attention to the statement recently presented to the British imrllament by Mr. i^hurchlll. the first lord of the Admiralty, and urgred that as tho British taxpayer was under suc-h a heavy burden, while the coffers of Canada were bursting with a great .Mur])lu.s. It was oh\louM what was the dutj of I'nnada In the .Hltuatlon.

Thf cuiu'ludlnK (lortloii of the pro ■ luler's Mp^ecl. wtis In tlu' n«ture of i\ prophecy wlilch roused tho K^reat audl- ^•noe to a hlt-h pltt-h of enthusla.sin. This was to the cffoi-t that in his ojiln- ion It would be found wl.on Mr. Bor- den presented hlfi naval pro^TuiDnie to parllamont that It was so fair und Just u measure-- In the IntercKts of C.-inada iind tho Kmplrf that It would be ap- proved without a dlBsfnllpK voice.

Tlie following rcsoUiUon, moved by Mr. W. H. Lanplpy and sei-nn.lpd by JliM J^ord.shl|) the Bl.shop of Columbia, was ontluLslastically carried:

"Be It rt-solvcd that thlK moet- ins dop.s hereby reaffirm the xli't of Its re.solutlons for the last five >earH: and further,

"That It Is the duty, intere.st and wl.sh of Canada to mcvt the l>re*«:nt Imperial emergeney by a prompt, adequate and unconditional Bllt to the Empire of batth.'diip^ or their equivalent, to be followed as soon .is may be by a pernia- n-nt policy which will «.>.sure to our Dominion repiesentii tlon

worthy of her dignity In the de- fence of the Kmplre."

Theatre seoorated. .\.«lde from the serious subject n>tit- ter which *nKajre<l the attention of the meeting. It was n succe.s.s al.so from every other standpoint. Xever hai tliere been gathered wltliln the four walls of the Victoria theatre a moru ripresentative and enthusiastic audl- ( nee. The whole occasion wa.-j tielard upon for a demonstration of the pa- triotism and loyalty of the people of Victoria. The various women's organ- izations of the city had at great pains undertaken the decoration of the audi- torium, and tlwlr efforts were so suc- ce.iaful as to elicit unstinted praise from all whn wer.' privileged tO be P'-e.ient.

l-'lowcr? and fcdl.i.ge In abundance were draped most fa.stefully all about tl)» boxes and gall'erles which also bore .stirring patriotic messages apropos of the occasion. At the rear of tbe stage was hung a banner bearing a dlagran^ which had been i)rrpared by Mr. J. Moncton Case. This gave statl.stlcs boarlnii upon the naval Issue from G rmany, the IJnired Kingdom, Can- ada, Au.stralia, South Africa and Xcw- foundland. The annnal contribution to the upkeep of naval vessels In Ger- many wa.s shiiwn to be $1.62 per head; in the I'nUed Kingdom, 14.61; in Can- ada, 20 cents; in Australia, 87 cents; South .-Vfrlca, 10 cents; Newfoundland, Ifi cents. Value of trade per h'^ad In Canada, »97; In the United States, l.'KS.SO. Th.' comparative value of the merchant tonnage of the various countries was also shown. IJa^ed on these figures It was shown tbat Cp.n- ada's naval contribution should be 13.17 pet head or $25,000,000 per an- num.

Seated on the platform besides the speakers already mentioned was a gath- ering thoroughly representntlvo of the official life of tho city. Among those who thus had aiats In the place of honor w^re Mayor Heckwlth, Mr. G. H. Barnard. M. P., Hon. A. E. McPhll- llps. Hon. li. K • Young, minister of education; Mr. Fred I^ivey, M. P.

Aigerlne: :\laJor Beale, the officer.^ of the I>ivonl«n .Society, the veterans and dozens of prominent citizens.

Interspersing the sppeches, patriotic selections were sung by Mr. George Phillips, of the naval <lepartnient at Ksqulmalt. and Mr. Alfred A. Codd, both o-T whom acquitted themaelve.i most admlrabLv.

On tho curtain being raised the pro- ceedlnss opened amidst tremv-iidotis cheering by the rendition of "llule Rrlttanla," the solo being taken by Mr. Phillips, and the chorus being led by ft squad of bluej:\.ek<?ts, whoso ap- pearance; crvated Increased '.enthusiasm.

There waa renewed applause when Mr. Wolley, who presided, rose to ad- dress the meeting. Uv prefaced hl;i speech by a reference to tbe pleasure which It gave him to note how' hcAi'tUy tho ladles had- entered into the worlt, end partloulatly for their klndr..sns in attending to the decoration at the thea- tre.

DMir air,; — You have dona ma the honor to reqiuat my ylewa on the navy queation to be read at the enauing <meetlng to be held under Vhe auapioen of the IVavy Leagu* at Victoria, In view of tb« Imitendhig aeaalon-of parliament.

The queation naturally reaolvea It- ■elf Into two parts, namely: ITlrit, the queation aa to the best permanent nolloy to be pUraued; ahd, aecbnd, the emer- gency queation.

Aa to the Arst question',^' it' la one of fact; and one Which, tW^'my opftilon, la outittfe the pale of legitimate party polltica.' If the Imperial ' government haa advlaed the Caneidian government that an emergency exists, which aooner or later la likely to ripen Into a crisis, then that ought, I think, to be sufficient fur the peofjle of Canada; and the ques- tion ought to be -approached, not In the spirit- of how little we can contribute In order to avoid the charge of being a niggardly or penurious people, not even In that of how much we can afford, but rather in that of how much- Is neces- sary to ensure an Imperial victory In the event of conftlct.

There are those, doubtless, who will maintain that It Is wrong either to make war or to make preparation for -war. If that were true, then our ancestors were wrotig, when, Protestant and Catholic alike, they unltetl to repel tho Invasion of the Armada and to keep tlie yjjaidsh dungeon out of Kngland, and were oiiually wrong when they ujdield the Hag of freedom nail I n.si Mip-|f_Vir«lenA d»Kn..f at Trafalgar and Waterloo. . .

If as a people we are npt willing, to the utmost of our power, to support the emblem which commands the respect of the world, and guarantecH freedom and Justice wherever It flies, but are. ready to haggle over tlie perfornuince of our Hianifivjt duty and to debate the -worth to ourselves of the maintenance and defence of British Instilutlon.s, then we should dcHerve to vanish froin history as the degenerate sons of the Mother of Liberty. Faithfully yours,

(Sgd.) GORDON HUNTKR.

Tremendous applause followed, Mr. Wolley having drawn particular atten- tion to the concluding pnruKi-,-ii)li. Con- tinuing, lie said:

Tba Chairman's Speeoh.

Tlds, ladles and ggntlemen, is not, as you are aware, the anniversary of Trafalgar, hut though reasons which seemed to us sufficient, comp':»lled the Navy League to keep our annual cele- bration later tlian we generally do, i think the change has In It a h.ippy augury.

The Battle of Trafalgar was over on the 30tJi, 1S05, and our battle In the Interest of nnNlrnperlal 'navy Is. I think, practically over on Octaber :i(i, 191?. rh 180.> It only remained to hand over Nelson's prixes to Great Brlta'n: In 1912 It rem.alns only for us to hanil over our pri/.cs to the empire. Mr. Bordan'B Xitftter

Let me read you a letter from our premier, Mr. Robert L. Borden. I re- ■'gret my own name is so prominent In It, but he speaks of me only as the nominal liader of a moVi:-ment In whh-!i you have all had your share.

Ottawa, Ont., October 5, 1912. "My Dear Wolley, — Not only the people of the Mopier Country, but those of all the solf-goveinln-g Domin- ions, are Impressed at this Juncture with the suprcnu* Importance of the defence of our empire's [^ittvtimi^ uy nn the great highways of ffv ocean. In Canada, no one has been more gravely conscious of this than you and no on.' has done more to Impress this truth upon the i>eop|e. m the cast as well as In the, west we recognize with ad- miration your ze.Tlods aTid Indefatig- able efforts In thhs cause; and .vou have good reason to believe that your l.lbors have not been in vain. Tcir;- falthfulb,

(.Signed) U. I.. Itorden."

Of Some Slg-nlflcanoa

Now mark the lust clause of this letter. Mr. Horden cannot, a.« consti- tutional leader of this Don->inion, tell us What contribution he pi^oposes to make to the imperial ' navy before he makes the official stateinent "in the House of Commons, hut he tells that east as well as west recognizes and approve.v- of riir efforts in "-bLH cause, and that wo have reason to believe our efforts have not becsi In vftl-rt.

Now our efforts have 'oeen unswerv- ingly the same. We have pleaded al- ways fpr an Imniodlatr, adequate and unconditional gift- to meet tli<' i>res«'nt emergency of our empire, und there- after siich a permanent policy as Will put Canada- Irt a worthy place in the empire's fIghtWg llrtn'. "

Knowing thhs, as Mr. Borden . knows It, would he write to an old friend who has sacrificed five years of his life to this propagandimi -'th^it his labors had not been in vain" It he had not made up his mind to give the empire what we asked for.

Thl2ikii Battla Ovat

Apart from all unofficial rumors however well founded, and they are very numerous and ein.-inate from aoHCces which cannot be mistaken, I tliilTK this letter warrants mc In de- claring that the battle is over and In thanking und congratulating those who, like Sir Richard McBrlde and Mr. WUIlarn I.«nglcy, men of opposite political parties, have stood firm for the Navy League's doctrine from t)ie very first.

But gentlemen. If the main action which we have fought for, the princi- ple of universal contribution to the general Insuroneo ftmd of the empire la over; I do not say to you that All the fighting la dohe.

We ahall 'probably have a atru-gsle over tlw perrhahent policy. fc^aiise there are ' ntlll men Whi>, hating' self- ■acrlflce, even In thir «i#n» intercats, peralat In talilnf the people that no emerveBOjr extata« and In d«riding thono who ter* to vntfhtmy ikneontfortable thlns»< )l«, byatlWltol mtslnCoraiea bid

Some dare to speak of an hysterical old man who, with hla lates: breath at 80 years of' age, haa been earning his cpuntry of h;^r, peril, .^ipd , 9,he*P. quiUdrlvers have, laughed at the old nittn as If they knew better than he about Ilia own subject "War." Read his speech, remember his life, try his possible motives and Judge this man. Is there any sign of age in his clear, virile lenguage; la there any possibil- ity of- personal am'bltlon for the soUUer who has won all that a soldier can win, from the 'Victoria Cross to the Mar- .shal's baton: is there any cluinci; of future employment fpr the man of elglity; Is tliere ahy auspiolon of par- tl'/anahlp In Id." history; -Is there an.v man you (flu think of -whose experi- ence of war Is aa great as that of Field Marshal Lord Hnberts.- _

It is only a few years ami wlp-n Britain's fort\ines Avero on the wane in .Soutli' Africa, that 'We sent for this old man to hcl.p us out, of our trouble; and he did It. That Is not so very long ago. IJas ho aged »o much since then? Gentlemen, I tell you the spirit of our mulharUtnd is l.iM»«.riMi.le oiuw, uior« and .•<pc-iiks again from the lips of tlie soldier's darling "Little- Bobs." The Danger

If you would listen to him, you would not listen to an angel from Heaven, and yet, because It is my duty, I will set myself once again to meet the only- tiuesllon which still seems dangerous to men who believe aa I do. Those who shun payment of our neces- sary Insurr.nee against war, though they pay their life Insurance and fire Insurance gladly, still ask us what Is the danger. The danger Is that no un- arined rich man Is safe so lon-g iia there ere armed men who want his possessions within striking 'distance of him.

.N't-itlier England nor lier dominions have great .Trrnles: several of her neighbors, Germany and Japan for In- . stance have. Neither Germany nor Jai)an has much land, or as much trade as they want. Britain has the cream of both.

A X>lttla Hlatory

■^A'lll you listen to a little history. In 1862 Prussia was a poor and hungry land of no great moment in the world's eye. In that year Bismarck reorgan- ized the , J'russlan army. In 1864 .ha u.-sed It to atta<,-k Denmark, annexed Schlesv.-lg Holsteln and obUlned at Kiel a footing on the sea. In 1886 he at- tacked Austria, refeated her, and took th.ee provinces. In 1870 he defeated France, took Alsace Lorraine and an indemnity of £:'.'jO, 000,000.

And then this Prussia, combined with nil the ti<-rmar .Slate.-, v.Ui) An.'iina coerced Into alliance, stepped upon the world's stage as Germany, the greatest land power on earth, with an army -of four million trained fighting men.

For the time her progress to- the su- pi ■, r.iacy ol' the wi.rld w.-is .stopped. It stopped when it touched salt water, because at sea Britain was supreme, and mark you, that as long as. the British navy Is supreme any further ex- tension of Germany is checked, for col- lision with any other power must In- fallibly bring her Into collision with our floot.

Wiiat Oarmany Knowa

.Slho knows thla. I don't -believe for one moment that Germany wants to fight us. I absolutely believe the Ger- man Emperor's statements that- he wishes for peace, but -the German Em- lie ror is not Germany,' and Germany : must and will find room for her people ar ■\ inai itetK for lier tnv'deis.

And so the German navy waa begun. Was built on borrowed money, built at vast expense by a people grumbling .-It their taxes, ijulll. by a cuuntr;y with no distant colonies to protect; with -no possible enemies who dared attack her; built for short voyages only, auoh as might take her the few hundred 'mllea which now aeparatea her aea baae from oura. . ,-

But Mr. Campbell-Bannerman aaid this sudden effort. In shipbuilding waa only as some set-off to our great aea armament. If we would reduce our naval preparations, Germany would re- duce hers. This he put to the teat In 1907, and again In 1908. He reduced our naval programme from 4 ahlps to t. Germany answered by raising her programme from 2 to 4 for those years, and here la the position of thla race for naval supremacy In the lateat re- liable figures at my dlspoaal. Oomparlaoii of WaTlM

In 1906 we had 31 completed battle- rhlpK. t(-n years old or lesa,/ to (Ger- many's 14; wa have now 37 tO her IS. We had 36 completed armored crutiers, t'--i ymr^i old or less, to her 20; now we have 16 to her 20. 'W« had 110 de- Btroyers, ten years old or less, to her 43: now We have 104 to h«r tl.

To our forefathers the rhance came in I the troubled years tliat stretched troni } the time when the first sentimental con- gress' gathered to tfie time when Wasii- inpton was Inaugurated as iflrst presi- dent ot, the Republic. To us, in our turn, the chance has now come to stand for liberty and righteousness as In llifii- day these dead men stood for llli- j - erty and rigl»teo«»ne»e. Our task 1h not as great as their«, yet it is well nigh as Important. (lur task is to profit by the lessoi»s of the past, and to check in time the evils that grow around us; lest our failure to do so ma.v cause dreadful disaster to the peo- ple. We must not sit supine and help- le«». 'Wfl must not permit the brutal seWshnesH of arrogance and., the brutal selrtshneas of envy, each to run un- checked Its evil course. If we do so then some day the smouldering hatred will suddenly kindle Into a consuming flame and either we or our children will be called on to face a crisis as grim aa any which this republic has ever seen.

Ttaa rrograMlTa Craed. "Our movement la 'one of resolute in- sistence ujion the right and the full acknowledgment of the duties, of every man and every womal» within llilei great land of ours. We war against the forces of evil and the Sreapons we use are the weapons of rlgbt. We do 'not set greed against gr^ed, - or hatred against hatred. Our cfeed la on«^ that bids us to bo Juat to all, to feel aym- pathy for all and atHve for an under- standing of the needs of all. Our pur- pose is to smite down wrong. But to- ward those who have done the wrong we feel only tbe krhdllest charity that is compatible with causing the wrong to cease. We preach hatred to no man and the anlrit in which we work Is as far removed from vlndlc- tivenesB as from Weakness. We are resolute tb do away with the evils, and we intend to pi-oceed W'tth such wise and cautious sanity aa will cause the very minlmutn of disturbance that is compatible with achieving our purpose. "Do not forget, friends, that we are not proposing to substitute law for character. We are merely proposing to buttresH character by law. We fully recognize that, as has been fue In the p^st. It is true now, and ever will be true, that the prime tactor In each man's or woman's success must normal- ly be that man's or woman's own charac- ter— character, the sum of many qual- ities, but atiove all of tbe qualities of honesty, of coUr'ajye and of common eense. Nothing will avail a niitton If there Is not the right type of character among the average man and woman, the plain people, the hard working, d >- cent living, right thinking people who make up the great bulk of our citizen- ship.

■amwd Btfltts.

"Again, friends, do not forget that we are proposing no new prloclpiea. The doetrlnes we pf^ea^ch reach back to the Oolden Rule and the SermOn on the Mount. They feach back to the com- mwndments delivered at SInal. All that we are doing is to apply those doc- trtnes lii the shape necessary to make then) available for meeting th* living Issues of our own day. We decline to b« bound by the empty lUtle cut-and- drleil formula of by-gone philosophies usafnl once, perhaps, but ' useless now. Our purpose Is to shackle greedy cun- ning as we ' shacUe brutal force, and we are not to be diverted from this purpose by the appeal, td the dtad dog- mas df a vanished past. We propose to ilft the burdens fforti the lowly and wdkry, from the poor and the op- press^. We propose to stand for the saorsd rights of ohtldhood and woman- hood. ' Nay, more, we propose to see that manhood la not crushed out of the men who toll, by excessive hours ot labor, by under-^ayiQsnt, by Injus- |lce and oppression. When this pur- pose can only be secured by the collec- itve action of our people through their govermnental agencies, we propose so to gecurs it We brush aside the ar- guments of those who seek to bar ac- -tlOB by the repeUtlon of some formula, abQUt 'States Rights' or about 'The History, of Liberty,' being 'The^ History of tha Umttation of Oovemmentat Po^er' or about the duty of the oourti Anally to determine tha meaning of the eongtltuUon. .We ar« fof human rights, and we Int^Hd to irork for them in efHcieat fashion.^ >.

They are against lawlessness and murderous violence exactly as they are against the sordid materialism which seeks wealth by trickery and cheating, whether on a, large or a small scale. They wish to deal honestly and In good faith with all men. They recognize that the prime national need Is for hon- esty, honesty In public life and in pri- vate life, honesty In business and In politics, hpnesty in the broadest and deepest significance of the word. We Progressives are trying to represent what we know to be the highest, ideals and the deepest and. most intimate con- victions of the plain men and women, of the good men and women who work for the homo and within the home.

"Seven months ago in this city, al- most at the beKinning of the present campaign, I spoke as follows:

"The leader for the time being, who- ever he may be, is but an instrument, to be used until broken and then be cast *9ide; and If he is worth his salt he will care no more when he Is broken than soldiers care when they are sent where their lives are forfeited. In order that victory may Ije.^ won. In the long fight for righteousness the watchword for all of us la: 'Spend and be spent.' It Is of little matter whether any one man falls or succeeds; but the cause shall not fall, for It Is the cause of mankind. We, here In America, hold In our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years, and shame and disgrace will be ours If, In our eyes the light of high resolve la Rimmed, If we trail In the dust the golden hopes of men.'

"Friends, what I said then, I say now. Surely there never was a greater oppor- tunity then ours; surely there never was a flrht better worth making than this. I believe we shall win. but win or lose, I am glad beyond mea.iure that 1 am one of the many, who In thia flght, have stood ready to spend and be spent, pledged to flght while life lasts. the great flght for righteousness and for brotherhood and for the welfare of mankind."

MELBOURNE, Oct. 30.— The problem of problems In Australasia at the' pres- ent time is the cost of living. It rises dally In the rents and the prices of nec- essaries of life, and governments, both state and fedaira), ire being pressed by all classes to ''do something" to ^stay the process. The price of meat, owing to the operation of local rings and combines, the effects of the drought early in the yeat with Ita destruction of about 10,000.000 sheep, and the ad- vance in labor coats, is the most troublesome circumstance of the many that make up the whole problem.

The Australian consumer has been aroused to a state <}t IndignattoB kir the publication of figures showfng that mutton, beef and butter are often cheaper In L>ondon than in Melbourne and I Sydney. The labor minister ' Af custbtas quoted in Parliament last w4ek statistics demonstratlxyt that the trlftoSei sale rates in London la April. June, July and August for butter were M.>i to $•.60 pe'r cwt cheaper than those rates In Melbourne, notwithstanding cost of freight aad rikiddlemen's charges.

Why Coquitlam Is Getting the Industries

When tnembers oiF the Vancouver Council and of the Van- couver BoArd of Trade visited Coquitlam the other day as guests of the council of that nuinicipality, they learned some- thing that amazed them — something that explained the strong tendency of new industries to locate at Coquitlam.

They found that- the Coquitlam Terminal Company had reserved from apeculatlon and for industrial use the whole waterf rontagc — two miles lonir— and also two miles of Industrial traoliaKe, which * means four mlleli of trackage frontage. They found that the Company waa spending thirty thoueand dollars on the finest In- dustrial railway layout west of Winnipeg, and ten thousand dollars more on the harbor survey, all of which costs the manu- facturer who locates In Coquitlam .not one cent, directly or In- directly, becauae the Industrial sites are all sold by the Coquit- lam Terminal Company to actual users at tbe cost of the land to the Company.

Coquitlam, in respect to natural advantages, railway ad- vantages, commercial advantages and the attitude of the town- site owners and the public authorities, presents to manufac- turers who are now coming to the Vancouver District, ad- vantages that cannot be excelled or evep equalled by aoy por- tion of the Vancouver Metropolitan District.

The Coquitlam Terminal Company welcomes enquiry relative to Induetrlal sites at Coquitlam, and guarantees liberal terms and most substantial encouragement to industries proposing to locate at Coquitlam, Including aeeiatlng in financing where required. The Industrial investor in Coquitlam will find that he la not exposed to the meroy OT ''^teal «atate shurks" and "curbstonu . brokers." On the oontraify, be #111 deal with a powerful corpora- tion, conducted on the.b'oadeet lines of fair dealing, a corpora- tion that owns the towhfltew and »<|. controls the situation that It can take care of any tti^apt^tiye Ittduatry, wliatever Us requlM- ments, whether one industrial lot or a hanAred acres — all level; trackage or waterfrdntage, or both — thrown in.

The particular and careful a'ftenlion of the manager of the Coquitlam Termihal Company wiH be given to ever;y person or corporation desiring to invcsjtigate the merits of Coquitlam as a manufacturing location.

THX DTTTT Of TKX: KOUK

While we have known through the years that have passed that Mr. t'llve Phlllipps WoUey needs no Inspiration for the themo on which he has done BO much to educate the people, aim, last nlghfs meeting must have been a source of very great gratification to him. It is no exaggeration to say that Victoria is the very heart and -soul of the Navy League mo\enient In the- Do-mimon. Even Toronto will H-eknow— ledge this. A position of this kitui we ow.e, In very large measure, to Mr. Wolley. because of- the highly educa- tive value of the propaganda which he has carried on, and because, too, his personality Is one which carries with it conviction. Ills speech at the Victoria theatre was a carefully rea- soned out one, and, as was to be ex- pected, intensely patriotic. What is most significant of aU, and in itself a tribute to his. work in the past. Is that it was thoroughly in accord with iho sentiments of his audience.

Mr. Dorden's letter, which was read at the meeting, was a very timely one, and paid a well-deserved compliment to the president of the local branch of the Navy League. The prime min- ister pointed out that no one in Can- ada Is more gravely conscious of tho necessity of action In Imperial de- fence than Mr. AVolley. We In Vic- toria know thi.H well. The meetings which are held here from time to time through his instrumentality re- flect In striking manner the Interest he has aroused and maintained among Victorians. Here, at all event.?, if we mny Judgo from the enthnslnstic nnd uniinlmous character of tho ineoting li.st evening, there Is no desire to l-ii:Tglo over the price we shall pay to iralntaln the supremacy ol the flag which shelters us and guarantees the rreedom and prosperity we enjoy. We <io not want the naval auestlon. In any of its phases, dragged into a political discussion. It is enough for us to know that we owe a duty to our- F.elves and our kinsmen across the s(!a;i. This is the outst.indlrig fact, beyond contradiction, and its sclf-evi- drrice was the tenor of the addresses of both Sir Richard McDride and Mr. AVoUej- and of the other speakers, as well as helnj; the unanimous feeling of L'he meeting.

Tho attitude of Sir Richard MeBrldo en this question, which Is of ;iuch vital significance to us all. Is well under- stood. His speech showed how deeply he feels in the matter, and he will Icrtd his potent influence to forward the Ideal of national and Imperial duty as long as he has a voice In the affairs of the country. The Bishop of Columbia, too, Impressed his hear- ers with his recognition of the need for action, as did Mr. W. H. Lanjley, who, ever since Us inception In this province, has been a pillar of strength to the Navy League. ..

The gathering was one representa- tive' of every phase in the city's life. Tho keen and enthusiastic interest displayed, and the repeated expres- sions of approval at the speakers' utterances were indicative of a full recognition at the duty of the hour, » and a readiness to immediately take up th« reBponslblUty of naval defence. The time has come when our protes- tations must bo converted into act- ualities. That was the tone of the meeting. It was the keynote of Mr. Wolley's address. We commend his utterances to the careful attention, not only of everyone in British Col- umbia, but of all Canadians through- out the length and breadth of the land. We are able to do so because we be- ■ lleve that our duty Is both an Im- perative a» well as a self-respectlns one, and because the honor of this country of ours is at stake.

The Colonist has already defined Its attitude on this question, so Important lo the well being of the Dominion and til* maintenance of enl{rfre. If any further detlnltion of wliki^;. we have triad to ooBvey is n««4«d. It is •lUOHiMitf up in the e«!i>Betudln« lt«w|i of ttw lpitt«r from Chief Juatks* Uantvr. !•#»! «l tb« mMtlnv. iHMm H* mjtb: ni «li • 9«o^l* wa u« nM wUlinc to tHt |lttke«t of our poww» (o aupport fhAfiaMom which <oo9im»|Ml<i Um «%r

formance of our manWest duty, and to debate the worth to ourselves of the maintenance and defence of Bri- tish/institutions, then we should de- serve to vanish from history as the deaenerate : sons of the muthn- of liberty." _

Canada Is at laat famous. Punch has heard that th«re is such a place. What more can we ask? It Is true that I'unch is disposed to wax merry at our expenae, i)Ut it Is something to be laushert at by so (llstlngulshed a portrayer of the Ugjiter .side of human affalr.s. The only fear we hav« Is that some of ruii'-li's re:uUTS may take what It say;* seriously. AVc- have In mind a youngster, who was an officer In Her Majesty's — th foot. I if was learning to skate in a covered rink on dry land, and he asked a lady whom he was en- deavoring 10 escort around the- glassy elide what uso was made of the rlnU !n Kummer, and she. not quite undcr- .standlng the profundity of limuci nc' ])n.ss!l)lf to 11 youth just out of a mili- tary school, said: "O! we come oi.it iiere then and fish." To which the youth re- plied: "By Jove, you. Colcnlui- ;tr. lip- i).vis. AVe never would have thought of having such a place at home." It's aanjgerous tq joke with people who talk j,.'M-5.';:^',.^'~.--,_!r .._ ^^ .^j^jj^ Wis smile ,wltb.

One of the most Important depart- mcnta of public entertainment U that provided by moving picture BhQwa. They afford pleasure to many thou* ■linds. to v,-hom more expensiv; ert-r- talnmenta are closed by reason of ex- pense. There may be objections to them on the score of their effect upon tho eye's, but they do not appear, to be very serious. At l«a,st, after a number of years' experience, the medical pro- fession has made no very earnest re- piesenliUlons on tliat score. This Melng Ua: ca«B, it must be admitted that Whatever can supply the public with a cheap, informative, and amusing en- tertainment l.H worthy of tiuouraKe- nient. In this connection, the follow- ing observation.'' from The Denver Ue- pubhcan are timely:

But beyond the revolution the mo- tion picture has worked in the matter of optics, comos the development of the "inovlos" as means of entertainment. it liaa spread to a degree imht-ard of. .Xi'ver can th.e "legitimate" theatre hopii I I reach as many people In a week as the moving picture film reaches in a day. The great mass of peoi)lo now has its - playhouse, which may ' • ' - tiling more than a madc-ovor aioit:- rooHi. As soon as the* moving picture man be.!,-lris to turn the crank, all the Joys of the world are flaslicd lAjforo the observer's eyes. To keep this great educational force clean should bo ■ on© of the objects of

^ftwi bonder just what aotrib yWj- pHI?«llin think of U3 aft'Cr they have read some of the, things li*; says. We give a fo\\ samples:

"Canada is a land of extremes. In summer the weather is so hot that the asbestos lining on tho fireproof build- ings has been known to melt, and in winter the snow is ho deep that special elevators have to bo Institut.d to con- vey the residents do>vn to the roof.s o.' their dwellings. Of course, this only refers to certain pRrls of Canada. In many districts Hie climate Is one long dream of d.clicious doligl.t. For partic- ulars -Jee the letterpress kindly sup- plied by the immigration Dopartment. ' We assume this is funny, althouKh wi are reminded of tht- ••joke" told by a Yankee- to a German. The C.erman was not very well versed in English, and Dv Joke had to be e.vplalned to him. ;S'hen l.e KOt it into hl,s head, \\-z- raid. "Imt is not a 8hok<\ dot Is a lie." The fol- io w'nir is funny or not. depending upon the point of view of the reader. To the average Canadian U is funny; to the disgruntled BrItlsh-born It would be the revirsp. We quote:

•'llul it must bo admilt'Hl that the ex- traordinary .variations in temperature — In .«ome parts— arc not without effect on the Inhabitants. They have to cram a year's work Into six months, bccau.se it Is far too cold during the wlnt'^r to do anything except sit with their feet on the stove, talking politics. The true- bnrr. British workman hates Canada during the summer, but when the peaceful spell of wlnt.er is o'er the land ho flocks there In 'his thousands, con- vinced that it is tho one country, In the world that is really suited to his Ideas of what consititutes a liard day's work. .Mid when he Is set the iniik of doing chores round the house and splitting firewood, ho returns to the land of his hirtli and writes letters to the papers about It."

In re.?ard to sport. Punch Informs Ilia rcad;rs that "you can shoot any- thing from a bull moose to a rapid, and if you care to venture into the western district you may even manage to bog a man or two." We suppose *lao that the following l.s funny:

■'The principal pastimes In the coun- try are log-rolling, broncho-busting, and exploring. The first consists in letting loose a large number of ti^He-trunlCH on a swift river, and then jumping from one to the other; the second Is tl.o art of lomalning on a horse wHlch Is convinced that you belong somewhere else; and tho third Is indulged In be- cause otherwise so much of the country would go to waste.

"Canada Is famous for its maple sugar. Its Northw-estern Police, the siege of Quebec, Sir Gilbert I'arker, and the North Magnetic Pole. . Next to the police, tho most remarkable feature is the .M^agnetic Pole, there being only one other specimen In tho world, and tl.at a very Inferior artlcb".

"Lastly. Canadians drink rye whlaky In preference to tho kind produced liy Bonnie Scotland. This Is. perhaps.

their greatest achievement."

We take no exception to this except 80 far na it may not be appreciated by people who require diagrams, gloss- aries and commentaries with their Jokes. We ask Punch In all serious- ness what meaning It expects would be taken out of tihese quotations by the man v)xa, repeatlny the Joke about corn, which In the original Is: "We eat all we can, and what w« can't eat •we can," skhJ: '"Th^y ettt all they are able to, and what they can't eat they put up In tins, by Jove, eh." There are some people who, after reading what our can- temporari- says, will, like a eartala Anglican clergyman, brtnir out to ^ Can- ada horseshoes and drle<| bMtf. •

There Is one remark in the artKfle iNi- ferred to that is not funay, and aAa hardly have boen Intended ta IM ao.' . It' is as follows: "I (a expantrtoa in t^a matter of trade la lartaljr ;dat«rtaiiilo| tty'Oie'ftmtJDia^ f t ta a British «»Io»]r:'f IT* rata* lib'^iiyRSt^iii^ '

films are t-lc-an. and breathe of the out- doors. Sucli a vast force for public good or evil should be kept above re- proach. Infinite capacities for good or evil lurk in the "movies," and the evil shoull not be allowed to creep In.

THE I.AHD QUESTIOJS- IW OKEAT BIHTAI3!r.

The .statPinrnt of Mr. AsquUh In re- spect to thr^ land riuestion in the United Kingdom Is of Interest from two points of view. One of these Is his declara- tion tliat it i.H not tlie intention of the ministry to propose anything revol- utionary, and- his assertion that the single tax principle is not favored either b.\ himself or any of his colleagues. Tile latter iiart of what he aald. as re- ported in the ncwn item, indicates a movement in a dlr, etlon that points 1 ti.'wards great social reform. We re- fer to the following:

•'You will not find the solution of that problem in what Is called the na- tionalization of the land. You will not, In njy opinion, find a solution, or any- thing more than a very partial and h'nltlng attempt at a solution, in the artificial creation upon a latge scale of private ownership. You want to go down to tho very roots of the question, and. after patient and careful examin- ation, by nii'asures which will not Im- pair the s/.ablllty of property. and which will not confiscate the rights or the Interests of any individual or class, t;) see wheth^^r the co-operative en-^r- gles of the state, of the community at large, connot be brou.ght to bear In removing that which Is by far the greatest blot on our civilization."

This suggests an effort on the v>art of the government to deal with the sub- ject in a frotn

Soelallsni. That something will have to be done is conceded on all sldos.

w.nv not very far removed \ the ihictrines of conservative

The ballot to be used at the elec- tion next week in the State of Wash- ington will be 5 feet lojair. If the names are all In one column, and about 19 inches long and 14 inches wide. If tho several tickets are so arranged that each of them will begin at the top of a column.

The Port Albernl News discusses The Colonist's rule not to print anony- mous correspondence. It does not think the rule a good one, because it "will develop a state of mediocrity In the correspondenClB columns of a newspa- per." W'e do not think it has had that effect in the case of The Colonist

Our correspondent. Mr. Herbert M. Gay, whose letter we print. Is need-, lessly Indignant. The Colonist's com- ments on tho Balkan war have so far I been only amplification of the news, and there have been' no expressions of opinion on the merits of the . conflict. Anything we might have to say on that subject would hardly be worth print- ing; we only aim to keep readers In- formed as \^ the progress of events and suggest things that may happen.

A good d«al of interest will he aroused on both sides of the boundary lln« by the announcement that Mrs. Cleveland, widow of the late President Cleveland, Is to marry. Her husband> to-lbe |2 Professor Thomaa Joseph Preston, of Wells College. Few Women In the United SUtws have ever rained the affections of the people as did this charming lady, who became mIstMss of the White Houaa when In the bloom of her youth and beauty. Since her husiiand'a death, 'sh« l«« lived In re- tlretn;ent. She married the president more than twent^<^tflsr yiMrs ago.

WE REPEAT

There Is Going to Be a Strong Realty

Movement In Vlct6ria West and

Esquimau District in a Few Days

If you fail to take ad- vantage of the com- parative low prices at which we are offering well situated properties in the western sections you will regret it.

Take our subdivision on the corner of Esquimalt and Dominion Roads as an illustration.

It is right on the car line.

It is high and level.

It possesses the double advantage! of being either admirable business property or charming homesite locations.

At our prices these lots are good bargains.

"As safe as the Bank of England" are our waterfronts on Esquimalt Harbor. Here you get more than value and as sure an increase in four months as is anything in this mun- dane sphere. We have one quarter acre, 66-foot frontage, for $1,850 — below the adjoin- ing values. One-quarter cash, balance in 6, 12 and 18 months. AnotHer three lots, the same size, in the same locality, for $2,000. These are fine, level properties, sloping from the beach, with a beautiful outlook over bar jor, straits and mountains.

VIEW ROYAL

**Esquimalt's Waterfront Park'*

For a small investment youcan*]!; beat our qu^^i^r-aqre lots in tjie one Esquimalt Har- bor subdivision. They are only four rrtil6s frohi the city's centre. There ^r§. many means of transportation to and from the suburb. Laujich or boat and street car is one; stage— V of which there are three or four passing every day— is another, and the E. & N. trains are another. Besides, there Is bound to be stfeet railway connection at. an early date. The situation is delightful in every respect. Coldstream water will be avdilable. The streets now are being graded.

From $600

Terms: One-Fifth Cash, Balance 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 Months

Among other places he will visit Fernie, Nelson, Golden and Cran- brook.

rroaparoaa In Tala — Mr. Alexander Lucas, M. P. P.. from Yale, was one of yesterdaylB arrivals in Victoria, regis- tering at the Empress hotel. Very naturally, and also very properly, Mr. Lucas was inclined to bo extremely op- timiatlc as to home tonditlons In his rldlH;^, and he spoke with i-nthu.siasm of the convention at Rovels.toke, which he attended. His businsiis here is in regard to a bit of road work which he l.s iinxioua to see complet'id.

FasBenger Agonta Meet.— A tnrclinK oC thu North Coast Pus'sonKer AKeiits" As.soeiatlou Wjaa hold at tha Enipre.s.M hotel yesterday mornlnB, lasting si ■> eral hours.

rinanciara Beturn — lion. itoherl T.'enry Brand, of London, Kngland, re- presenting I.,fi.z.'ird Brotliera and Com- pany, the bankers, and Mr. P. Perry, tiie Canadian agent of tho firm, re- turned ti> \'icir>iiii yesterday from Prince Rupert. "The possibilities for Prince Rupert are very great," Mr. Brand rtcclared. "A groat deal, of course, rieponrts on the sort of country it has arcvund it, b'jt from what I can judge, the place should grow into a ilty of considerable size. One of the advan- tages of Prince Rupert Is lis compara- tive nearness to China and its slilpping facilities for handling that country's trade." Mr. Brand did not seem to look with especial alarm at the war in the Balkans, although he admitted vhat if England were to become embroiled, Canada's opportunities for borrowing more money from the old country would become sadly ci-ippled. As" re- lated some days ago In The Colonist, when the dlstingulstied Englishman first arrived, Mr. Brand will spend some days visiting Vancouver Island, and then return to Great Britnln.

From the time the trio started from their home town a month agi), until the travel-stained car drew up before the, hotel last evening, they covered more than 800 miles, visiting San Francisco, Los xVngclcK, San Pedro, Pasadena, San Diego, BakorsvlUe, San- ta Barbara, and othor places of inter- est. "It was a very beautiful country, but as for me, give me British Colum- bia every time," declaro<l Mr Coldlcutt at the hotel last night. "It was flna to see the way they have built up San Franci."JCO, which is really marvelous, and it was highly exciting to dodge through tho crowded streets of Los Angeles, but wlion it cornea to a place to live, Rive mc British Columbia, and Burnnby." Following his arrival here, Mr. Coldlcutt was Joined by his wife, and thu two will c-ontlnuo \\\f- trio l.v automobile to Albernl and Nanaimo, and then Vancouver and home.

Hallowe'en Concert — Tiie silioolroom of the First Presbyterian churcli was filled to overflowing last night when the choir of the church gave their twenty-fifth hallowe'cn Rcotch concert. The singing of Scotch part songs by the choir was a notlcnahte featm-e of the programme, and w.")-"* much appre- ciated by the large audience. Mr. D. Heughan rendered two violin .-sfilectlons of .Scottish airs in Ms usual able manner, while little Miss Shearer, by her Highland dancing simply capti- vated the hcart.s of the audience. Mrs. Longfleld's rendering of "My Aln Folk," and Miss .Slierrit's "0am Ye by Athol" were very pleasing. Mr. J. Petrlo displayed his rl)iglng bass with great effect in "Sons of Bonnie Scot- land," and Mr. Robert Morrison's lyric baritone was unsurpassed in 'The Auld Scotch Sangs." Mrs. Mather's Scotch dialect recitations were just what a Scptch audience wanted, as waa evl- detic'id by the rousing encores she re- ceived. ThlB Is nlao true of Mr. Doble'a well-rendered humorous aonga. Mr. .L O. Brown sang "Hlghlandera" in splen- dl(S atyle. A male quartette and a double quartette of male and female voices rendered two very pleafllnig ae- lectlona. The concert wa.i brought to a doae by the singing of "AuUl Lang Syne" and "Ood Save tho King." Thos» contributing to the very excellent and ienffthy programme were: Mra. Perry, Mra.

Tho contractora intimated that unless the money was forthcoming the work would have to cease

Thla communication to the bonrd was written some days ago and tho aec- retary of the board explained that he had since seen City Coniptrohcr R;iy- mur, who had expressed surprl.«n that the contractora had written to me board, aa he thought they were sut- lafled with the arrangement made with them relative to the paynieut of the voucher issued by the bu'.ud for the amount

ThH matter waa referred to the fl- nanca committee of the board, I'rustec Jay stuting that the board should knov\' what the city proposes to do in future relative to the High school linances.

and j?reat numberH.of younK women from Great ISrltain spend a loiiRer or shorter time there. The women of all chvin-hes and many societies resolved to form what Is known as a guild or league of "iils- Sisters."

Tlie idra of the movement Is to pro- vide evc-ry nowronicr witll u frUnd. How tills Is done, the following outline i of methods gives a hint: 1, By seeking: out strangers: (a) by personal service; (b) by e:distlnK channel.s by which Strangers reach the city. 2, Kegt.stra- tion, decentrallziitlon of name to local branch. 3, Personal service: (a) in warl? time; (b) In spare time; (c) en- rolling the newcpmer Into some active girls' association. The viewpoint of interested peoi'.Je fr6m the old land 1b given in a letter written by Dr. Spar- row on the eve of leaving Canada and published In'The Winnipeg Telegram. Wrltlnj; to the committee of ladles about to undertake the work, Mr. Spar- row says In part: — • • ~

"Thousands are attracted by adver- tisement ^.tti tlijfi cpuhtry. Girls who are unprtiperly .trained, unstable in character, and, , too. often, unhappy or mnros- -In . tensperament (in ,a<Jditior. of course, to many other of high prin- ciple and sirang character), then th !r<i rests a reaponsibllUy upon thpir asso- ciates' and' t^llioW-citlr.ens here to try their iH'Rt. to replfloe thJui' sh*'&t anchor^, which their hoVn'e- and -famHy "respect- abilitj; alone.' iljipplipd In ilretr oirn ^ counm*; \AnA ' w'tyhnut'- which many are apt -fo-'^^rt^;^ :>l'fte.TX^e'atheT''ie*OTe the :. wind.

"How are you going to replace It? Can you find among yourselves a girl friend for every stranger? That can only be done by chailty, nojt in printed, letters, of course, the giving of money, a thou-sand times no. That is the ruin of a hundred for every one it saves. But charity of mind, of attitude, of action on your parts. Only by this will you effect the meeting, the help- ing, the leading of tlio.se who need (hut in some cases, many may not be willing) to be helped or led. By char- ity of opinion and klndline»,s of action alone will you surrrei in offering and providing a girl friend for every stranger.

"One more point. If Canadians mean to obtain the beat class Of Itnmlgrants in place of the untrained and unfit, then they must adv-rtlse their country by advertl.ocment.s such as — figure 1. registration of rooming house and weekly returns of occupants: 2. ref- erence Hats of recommended farms, suitable for homo helps, throughout every western province; 3, 'Big Sister' leagues in every city; 4, a form of In- denture for all assisted immigrants be- tween mistress and maid, with an im- migration dlepartment, a lady Inspector, to supervise cases In every large city, and the like. Do this and theri^ will be a change of opinion In England. Then the parent* and friends and the mistresses of fine secondary schooH ami Wirh »«h«Hil» which are ftill of girls well trained and noMe fti character. In- stead of- holding tnelr pupils WAck^ 'will encourage- them to i»eek a 'home in'Can- ada. Will you rtot help to the limit of your power In changing the statiw of the immigrant from the elementary board school type to that of the eec- ondary sohool type? By doing so, you will obtain In the Oreat West a finer class of well educated, healthy and pat- riotic citizens to be the future helps, nurses, school mistresses, wives and mothers of your great nation."

The necessity for such organlzkflon may not be as evident la the ditiee' of British Columbia as it \n In Winnipeg. Our distance from the ports of entry makes It difficult for girls to come di- rectly to the Pacific Coast. Yet, even now, there are lonely, friendless, young JIngllsh In our city. This Is the more Inexcusable as, with the comparatively small number amonn us, there should be homifs open to all. BflTorts are being made by kind-hearted people to meet the needs of these' jroung women, but those who «rork hardest feel most keeinly that a Ihwat deal remains to be dons before Tlctsria Is. propArc«| Tor th« toi'gv i^n- mtlrratton of young British wormr thitt the demand for female labor warnuita.

Club ^m Who Brok6 His , Own'^ortd's Record In Vart^

couver 1s Negotiating With

Local' Promoters

A propovitlon ia on foot to have Tom Burrvwa,' champion club swinger of th« world, perform In Victoria. Burrows lately came up to Vancouver from San Francisco. He is on a tour of the world and will show at all the principal cities In Canada and England before returning to his home in Australia.

Last Saturday nlpht Burrows flnishe'd a performance in Vancouver which broke his own endurance record for continuous swinging- without sleep, rest or stop of eighty hours, two minutes, made at Honolulu recently, by two min- utes.

The following description of the finish of Burrows' exliibition was eiven in a Vancouver paoer:

■•Burrows started on hia grind at 3.21 last Wednesday afternoon, and from that time until the hour of stopping never rested for one minute nor stopped swinging the clubs at less than eighty revolutions per minute. When he had reached his old record time, at 11.23, the champion iinllmbertxi with every ounce of strength In his body, and gave a whirlwind exhibition of fancy swing- ing whiclj even the moat sltilled pro- fessional coming on the stage freah would have found difficulty in excelling. In the meantime the crowd filled the hall with cheers, the force of whioh had people 6t\'' Granville street looking around in amazement, and when the end flnally came Burrows .sank into a chair with a pleased smile on his face waiting for the storm of appreciation to sub- side. When <iuiet was obtained he arose, and with his mental faculties as keen as ever, delivered a neat little speech of thanks to those who had Interested themselves in the exhibition by their presence duHng the three days it had been in progress.

"Immcdiatply upon the conclusion of the performance Burrows was exaihin- e'l by the physicians, who announced that his heart action was perfect and pulse practically normal except for a few extra pulsations caus«rd by the par- ticularly hard exertions of the last two minutes when he finished up in whirl- wind shape.

"Apart from nn immense desire to sleep and a slight swelling of the an- kles, which made his last few hours grind a period of some pain. Burrows suffered no physical distress."

Burrows has been negotiating with a couple of Victoria's sportameti with a view to securing an engagement here. If these gentlemen do not care to handle the affair u is possible that there may others to take it over. Anyway

their paaalng and know how to make openings, it Is something out of th* ordinary In "Victoria for tha interest to centre on the threerquarter line, aa It hgs generally been the forwards on whom dependence for vjctory has been placed.

rorwwrds Oood

But while the enthusiasts like tha three-quarter backs more they don't like the forwards laaa. Tha Victoria forward line seema to be aa strong and dangerou<i as of yore. Those chosen for today's game are a flne set of men and play a strenuous game and still there are others In the city league whose se- lection would have been hardly less da- aerved.

Champain and Shires are two good halv«a and Billy Newcomba, playing fullback, is a determined and honest .Worker wherever he la put. ,

It la conffdently expected that Vic- toria win beat Calgary today. Cglgary played hard, conscientioua gamea against Vancouver and one or two of the visitors from the prairie ahowed brilliance, but- they were no match 'ft>lr the Terminal City team. ,Thet» la, pi oourtie, the fact that the Victoria ra- presentatlves have never all play M to- gether to be considered.

The game this afternoon Drill be played at Oak Bay, atartlng at 8 o'clock. F. A. Sparks will referee. Air Victoria plgyere are requepted to be on the grounds at 2.80 without fail.

There was no doubt some good rea- son for the dlttsension, but it wa.^ none the leas aepiorabie, as it broke up an organization of athletes which had clung together since schoolboy days, and whose team play in" foot- ball, lacrosse and other sports, per- fected by years of playing together, enabled them to down teanKs com- posed of older, and in somf cu.«e.s more brilliant, performer*.

When the "i>ust-up" occurred early this football aeaaon, five of the Wards' best players — Everett Taylor, McCarter, Brynjolfsen, naine.i and Fred Brown — joined the Navy-Esciul- malt; Baker, a youngster who is rapidly coming to the top, and Lou McDonald, a ver.v reliable fullback, went over to the Wests; and two other members of the club, Joe Dak- ers and A. Mclnnes, dropped out of soccer altogether. All of these, with the exception of Baker, have passed from school league to senior football as members of the same fleams most of the time.

Now a strenuous effort is being made to bring them together again for the Island League football season, which opens in January, and, as moat of the men In question have signi- fied' their willingness to come, back, there is e\-pry reason to believe that the effort will be .successfiil. A meet- ing win be called in the near future, at which it is confidently expected that the plan to have the club start out again on a sound and lasting basis will eb consummated;

The VIctorta Rifle Association held their first annual smoker in the For- esters' Rail Tueaday evening, and a most enjoyable evening was spent as a fitting wind-up for the season.

A large number of members were presespt, the club having extended a cordial Urvltatlon to the officers and shooting jnen of the Royal Canadian Garrison Artillery and the Fifth Regi- ment. • who responded In large num- bers. Among the officers present were: Col. Currie. Major Snow, Capt. Bray. S. O. O., ajjd Csipt. Sherman. Capt. GoUop, of the cfuBf^occupled the chair.

During the. evening the presentation of prizes for the Thanksgiving Day shoot, including th© championship cup and class buttons, was made.' Major Snow, who made the presentations, complimented the winners on their success, making special mention of the members who graduated during the season.

Speeches wsre made by Col. Currie, Major Snow, Capt. Bray, Capt. OoJ- lop, Capt. Mctntosh, Mr. 0. S. Wil- liams, Mr. T. a. Thomas and L.leut F. H. Richardson. Some yery Inter- esting reAiarks were made by these gentlemcr. pertaining to rifle shoot- ing. Lieut. Rl<:hardson also gave a very interesting discourse on tl;e /sub- ject of miniature rifle shooting, which will in all probability be taken up by the club this winter.

One of the most pleasing events of the evening was a presentation to Capt. Gollop of a handsome case of pipes as a token of appreciation of his services to the club during the season. Capt. Williams mad© the presentation on behalf of the officers and members of the club.

A hearty vote of thanks was tend- ered to the merchants of the city who generously contributed to the several prltollsts this season; also to Messrs. Thohias and Beaney for their energetic work.

Synod Discusses the Subject Very Fully After Listening to the Report Made by Dean Doull

U^nUm

.tmt^

f

The chl«f featurem of yesterday mornlngr's session of the- Anglican Synod wen the report of the Sunday school committee, which was presented by the Dean OJf Colujnbia as convenor.

Ua adoption was moved by Rev. Canon SUva White, who has b«en r.e- peatedly referred to during the synod as having- In hla c-hurch at Nanalmo one of the beat, If not th<> very bo-st, Sunday school In the whole, dloccso. (^anon Whlt<3'H remarlts were conse- ciiicntly followed with much Interest. As (Uitlln./d 111 11. r report, he urged the e.Htabllsliniciil u' teaoher-tralnlnB

classaa with the ultimate object of the teuehers preparing thems-eivca for ex- amination at WlUtsuntlde..-^-itULt .10 be Ciillowed by the preparation of the pu- pils for an examination held during Ad- vent by the Sunday school conimisHlon. To fucllltttte the work of this comniln- Hion h'.' recommondod that some ar- ransomenta .should be made whereby u fUId secretar.v should be appointid to vi»;t-«re— parishcw-a-nrt ■orgatilrc this general policy of strengthening- and extcndlnK Sunday school work upon an educational basis.

Uev. H. A. Colli nson moved that be- fore any new appeal be made In con- nection with the Sunday schools of the diocese a meetlnjr of the clergy should be held to consider the work of the commission.

Vtad of Sunday Soboola.

This was finally paisssd after consid- erable discussion, the principal speak- ers being: Mr. Perty Wolla.'iton and Rev. Robert Connell. The former sketched a pessimistic picture; of Sunday schools In the diocese of Columbia. He said that aa soon as the synod closed the Sunday schools closed too, except for a perfunctory business meeting held every Sunday. He made an exception, however, in favor of the Sunday school .at Nfnalmo, in the northern deanery. whfle those In the charse of Roy. K. G. Miller and Rev. Mr. Dagshawe were also a success. Why Rev. Robert A. HUtz, general secretary of Sunday school^, hftd spent most of hla recent visit to the Island in Victoria itself, was because he thought that Victoria needed him most. PeopVe ware always sa.ving what a great thing the Sunday so^ool was. and that it. *a8 tlve moat Imp^xttant work of fhelr Uvea. Then why, H«kcd Mr. Wolla.slon, did they not go and do it? 'He pointed out that a Sunday school commissioner had once been appointed by Bishop Perrln. but he did not believe that coroml.ssloner had visited a Sunday sclioal 3lni>e ap- pointment.

The treasurer's remark-") as to the In- efficiency of the Sunday school system In this- dlbcese were not allowed to go unchallenged. Rev. AVllliani Barton, who within a few months htid brought together a Sunday school of over a htindred children at St. Mary's ciiurch. Oak Briy, was on-e of the first to rl.'se to his feet, and after him came llev. Robert 'Connell, of St. Savior's church, who said thnt the statements made by Mr. Wollaston were too strong In be al- lowed to go by the board. He did not consider \\\^ own Sundny school per- fect, but li-e would bo a traitor to the school and to Its teacher,'^ If he let this go by. He thought that they should recog;nlV as a .synod tht; faUhful work of their Sunday school teachors.

Too Xaoh ITnlfonnltj'.

He, himself, had made arrangement? In conection with Rev. Mr. Hlltz' stay In victoria, and It was his fault if llvey had not been as others might have wished. As it was. however, Mi'. Hlltz had preached twice in the city and had addressed a well attended meeting' In St. John's - echoolrooip' at which a gratifying f:>ature had been the large atiendatic^ of yqun«;aiien and boys. Mr. Connell declared Mmself perf'Cctl.v willing to co-operate with the Sunday school commission in any way desired, but he ob;)ected to too mtich uniformity.

Blatiop Roper said that he would do all tf^at was possible to aflsist In push- ing forward the Sunday school wotk.

It was final.v decided that a <neetlYiff should be held In the near f,uture. In all probability, at Nanalmo, to thor- oughly discuss the matt'cr.

Rev. W. Baiigh Allen, rural dean, read the report of the southern deanftry. A number of other reports were alao passed during the morning session, the gathering rising at 1.15 for luncheon, which wflis again served by the ladles of the W .A. of the Cathedral, to whom at tho clone the bishop and other speak- ers expressed thanks.

CONTRIBUTION TO

IMPERIAL DEFENCE

Speakers at Trafalirar Bay Celebration In Montreal Have no Doubt as to . Canada's Dnty

Before the first pnnual dinner of the Overseas Club, held In celebration of Trafalgar, at Cooper's, Mr. H. B. Ames, M. P., declared that Canada would have enough surplus . for a generous contri- bution to the Imperial defence this year, aridf... urged^ that assistance be given w;lttiout insisting upon represen- tation in such a scheme, trusting to the M(it^r Country to do the right thing ,;'at the right time, says The Montreal Sta^r. '

Principal Peterson, of McGlll, also spoke, emphasizing the fact that Can- ada had a trust to perform to the Mother Country and the Overseas Do- minions In keeping up her end of the British Empire.

Principal Peleroaii; wiio aniiwered the toast to "the etr^V^fe," was Intro- duced by Mr. F. A. Covert, and began by declaring that Trafalgar, where Nelson won his Immortal victory, was a long way from the shores of Eng- land. Although England had a largo fleet some people th6ught that ' it should be kept at home where It co^ild be seen. If this' had been 'the citsis In ■ olden times, Trafalgar would never have been fought and won and the earth rid of Napoleonic domination.
