FURTHER CULL UNDER CANADIAN ARMY ACT

NOW IS LOOKED FORAnticipation Is That Government Will Issue Summons

at Same Time as Figures Showing Results of Operation of Act So Far Are Given Out

Ottawa. Feb. IS.—It to stated that the Government soon will give out returns showing the result of compulsory military service in Canada, the number of men in khaki from the different military districts and the number who may be expected in the coming spring.

Pending the issuance of this official statement any returns published, it to stated, must be regarded as purely speculative. It may be taken for granted, however, that the issuance of a statement, especially in view of the situation on both the Eastern and Western fronti, must lead to a further call under the terms of the Military Service Act.

Of the six classes specified in the Act, only one has been called— that of single men and widowers without children leu than thirty-fouryears old. It ta._ considered certain

CANADIAN FORCES ENTER SPRING FIGHTS STRONGER

THAN EVER SEEN BEFORECanadian Army Headquarter» Overaeaa. Feb. 13.—(By the Can

adian Overseas Correspondent).—After three and a half years of war Canada ia to march with her allies to victory stronger than ever before. The Dominion's fighting strength, both in men and in guns, is constantly inereaaing. Military regulations prevent any extensive statement from the field as to new developments in the Canadian forces, but l am able to say that Canada 'a splendid support of the Military Servie,* Act has placed the military authorities in a position where they not only are assured of re

that there are men in other classe# who might be drafted ' Into the army without causing undue hardships to any dependents and without decreasing the production of essentials. The primary consideration urged Is that of necessary reinforcements having regard to the national civil necessities and to the special circumstances of Individuals Where a jnati can be spared for the army, it Is emphasised, it Is essential .tjiat there should be as little delay as possible In putting him Into training.

The men actually in khaki. It Is pointed out, do not by any means represent the result of the calling out of the first class Daily, as appeals are heard and exemptions expire, there are additions to the number of drafted men. But the many appeals entered cannot possibly be disposed of for some time If full consideration is to be given to each particular case. In view of the urgent necessity for reinforcements, therefore. It is considered likely here that a further vail under the Act may not long be delayed.

Available Classes.The «-lasses which still may be called

out. to the limit under the Act as It stands of 100.008 men, are the following:

Class 3—Those# who have attained

Ix.m not earlier than 1883 and are married or are widowers without children.

Class 3—Those who were horn In^hg years 1876 tb 1882. both inclusive, and are unmarried or are widowers and have no children.

Class 4—Those who were bom In the years 1876 to 1882. both Inclusive, and

->-arc married or are widowers who have a child or children.

Class 6—Those who were bom in the years 1872 to 1876, both Inclusive, and

"Are unmarried or are widowers wlth- t ut children.

Class 6—Those who were bom In the years of 1872 to 1876. both Inclusive, and are married or are widowers who have

. a child or «•hlldreh.May Subdivide Classes.

The order Indicated is that In which the classes may be called out/ The Go vernor-General- in-Counci I howe ver, may divide any classes Into siih- cImbo* U %oMl MS# the sub-classes are to he called out In order of age. beginning with the youngest.

The Central Appeal Judge now has more than 3,009 appeals to consider, and it Is expected that several thousand fnore wyi b«* entered. The appeals entered before the Central Appeal Judge from men In Class One only probably will tqtal 10,000. even excluding Quebec. The consideration uf so large a number of appeals, it is p«>lnt- cd out. will demand oonsldefable time.-

ACTION AGAINST IT.-COL REPINGTON

British Government Will Move Also Against Editor

Londort>4**b. 13.—Rt. Hon. Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor of the Exchequer. announced to-day in the House of Common» that action wpuld be taken under the Defence of the Realm Act against Colonel Replngton. the military critic of The London Morning Post, for an article which appeared in The Post on Monday. The article complained of was submitted to the censor, who refused his permission to publish it. The article afterward was published in a different form without being submitted to the

Mr Bonar Law said action also would be taken against the editor of

Inforcements for existing units, butn add largely to their fighting .es

tablishments.During the PasschendAele operations

new forces of artillery came from the Dominion to Fram-e, and while not actively engaged in U fighting last October, and November, they long ago tpok their place In the line, where they are now acquitting themselves splendidly. The Dominion is entering upon the spring campaign stronger in men, materials and guns than at any other time since the mobilisation at Valcartter marked the creation of the historic First Division, and Is holding a larger front than ever before. It Is impossible yet to give any details of the increase in the forces,- -but one effect is to strengthen materially the rifle strength In the line. «

Lieut.-Colonel Charles O’Court Rep- Ington resigned from Lord Northcliffe's London Times on January 21 after fifteen years of service upon that paper as military correspondent and joined the staff of The Mofntng Post. The editor of The Morning Post, against whom Chancellor Bonar Law announced action also would be taken, is H. A. H. Gwymie. In an Interview tpvith Colonel Replngton cabled to the United States last month the military critic said: "I have to thank Lady Bathurst, proprietor, and H. A. H. Gwynne, editor of The Morning Post, for the fact that I am no longer muscled and that ( can now tell the British public and the American public the truth about our armies In France. They have done a public service in enabling me to tell the truth, and I may say that Mr Gwynne risked his personal liberty in an doing. Under the Defence of the Realm Act you can lock a man up for nearly anything, and If our War Cabinet did not know that the case which -I presented on Thursday. January. 24, was fairly stated I have no doubt that both Mr Gwynne and myself would be In jail already "

i.OCO clerks are affected by the new regulation* governing appointments to the civil service. Hitherto many Departments have engaged their temporary clerks without reference to the Commission, more especially the new branche* which have been created to deal with business arising out of the war, but In future the Militia and Financé Department*" clerical staff a, the Military Hospitals* Commission, the Canada Food Board, the new Soldiers* Settlement Board and alt oth#r branches must secure their clerks from the same croirai employment bureau.

Herbert Samuel, formerly Secretary of State fof Home Affairs, made the opening speech on this subject. Later the derisions of the Supreme War Council at Versailles will be taken up again.

Richard Hell. Radical member from the Hexham Dlvta^n of Northumberland, prepared an amendment to the address, expressing regret that “in accordance with the decisions of the Supreme War Council at Versailles prosecution of military effort is to be the only Immediate task of the Government." This amendment is sutff* ported by a number of Liberals and Unionists.

Another amendment expresses regret that action has not been taken against newspapers which have published attacks on Individual officer# of the higher command. V

Many Rumors.During and after the debate in the

Common» yesterday the lobbies te with rumors. The sensational talk centred' mainly amund the possibility of military resignations and a ministerial crisis, but the lobbies eventually were emptied without any of the rumors being substantiated. Ttw morning newspapers to-day reproduc ed some of the stories. The Daily News said those In high places in the House of Commons believed that on Monday night ths Government had frut pressure upon General Bir William Rohsrtiron. Chief of the Imperial General Staff, with a view to Inducing him to resign. thA. intention being to replace him by MMGor-General Sir Henry Wilson. British military representative on the Versailles Council General Robertson resisted the pressure, the newspaper says, and the Government

totem on Tuesday considered removing him. ZT*' 3Ï fti^TWÎRronrcle:

at possible military and political changes, said that General Wilson was In lôndon now on Important business.

Crisis Rumored.The Morning Poet quoted a lobby

correspondent as saying that a crista had arisen over General Roliertson’s retention by the Ckbjnet which might have serious consequences for the latter. The rumors affected Field-Marshal Haig less than they did General Robertson.

Hostile critic* like Tht Port And The Daily News said Mr. Lloyd George had failed to exert his usual power over the House and that the War Cabinet had lost prestige In all the war parties.

The Times said the debate marked a definite point In the campaign between the Government and the opposition, and added that rightly or wrongly, ex- Premier Asquith, a# the result of his speech, was hailed as the rising hope of the peace party, which the paper said apparently expects to reinforce Its numbers under thé cover of the coot "support the* soldiers."

DECIDING WHETHER TO HAVE EXHIBITION

IN TERMINAL CITY

London, Feb. 13.—"I confess that I think that was the last demand Germany ought in decency to have put forth," said Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons yesterday In dealing with that part of the recent speech by -the German Chancellor In which von Hertling said Britain should be required to gire up possession of such places as Gibraltar, Aden, Hongkong, etc.

"These coaling stations." continued the Prime Minister, "had been accessible to German as well a* to British ships. Before the war the German fleet always received most hospitable treat ment a| all these stations. -During 1313 some sixty-fire visits were paid to tV..-m by German warships and they received exactly the same treatment as British, warships. The same thing applies to German merchantmen. There were German coaling firms there conducting trade under exactly the. same conditions as British firms.

“To make such a demand for the first time in the fourth year of the war is th« best proof that the German Empire. or those at present controlling It. is not in a mood to discuss reasonable terms of peace. I regret It, but. there Is no usé In cry tog 'peace* when there is no peace.”

F. W.

In these experiments, carried out by some of the leading physiologists of the day, Bovril, when added to the diet of human subjects, produced an increase in weight, equivalent to from io to 20 times the amount of Bovril taken* -~~™

THEGREAT ECONOMY

OF BOVRILBovril saves money because it

enables you to extract far more nourishment from the food you buy. It diminishes the waste of food within the body and transmutes nourishment (which would

otherwise be lost) into energy,vitality and power. Its economy .....is proved by the access of strength it brings to those who take it.

In spite of the great increase in the cost of Beef (the raw material of Bovril) there has been no increase in the price of Bovril during the War.

seemed to show that suçh tactics would meet with considerable support.

A Contrast,Perhaps the most notable thing was

the contrast in the speeches * of the- Prime Minister and the former Prime Minister with reference to President Wilson's speech. While Mr. Asquith endorsed fully the President's view.. Mr. Lloyd George did not even mention Mr. Wilson’s last speech and declined,to see'in Count Csernln’s nient any nearer approach to reasonable terms than in llertling's. Moreover the Prime Minister regarded the German Chancellor's demand that Great Britain give up her coaling stations as proving fully that the controllers of German policy were in no mood to discuss reasonable terms of peace.

Declaring absolutely that he would not yield on the matter of revealing more about the Versailles conference, the Prime Minister challenged the House, if dissatisfied with the Govern ment's conduct of the war, to put another Government in Its place.

The question of the vnlaVgtng of the functions of the Versailles Council led to a little sçene between the Prime Minister and Mr. Asquith, and throughout his remarks about the Council the Prime Minister was subjected to a running fire of heckling, punctuated with loud cheering from extreme LI Itérais, many of Whom in subsequent speeches made strong attacks on the Pritrie Minister regarding his alleged connection with the press.

Lord Hugh Cecil, member for Oxford University, admitted that the Prime Minister's speech was reassuring, but said that the weakness of the Government lay In the existence of coincidences between utterances in the press and certain lines of Government action. He hopfd the Government would not hesitate to epppreea. if necessary, . even the moat Influential Journals acting contrary to the national Interest.

A'Ufftyp11 Mir1 fmrwwuriwr wgirerthe Prime Minister to get rid of his private secretaries and also the press, which was hanging around hie neck "like an albatross”

While the Versailles conference was under discussion the Prime Minister also was met by constant cries of "Do not divulge "

VACANT LOT CULTIVATION.

An Important announcement made by Ottawa yesterday In regard to the Government1» steel shipbuilding programme. It was stated that the policy contemplates the laying down of keels of about forty ships by June, IMS, and that of these ten wtH ê laid on the Pacific coast—four for vesi of S.OM tons and six for vessels *,206 tons.

We invite the attention of Island ■hipbuilding firms to this annouoc:- ment It will be a long, long time before they will have such another opportunity to develop the industry in large way under Government ausplcee. The Dominion Government Is able to launch such a policy under conditions unusually favorable to the shipbuilding Industry only because of the demand for shipping sudsing from the exigencies of- the war. The powerful eastern Interests which -usually capture all the contracts worth capturing eekaot handle the whole program at this time and it Is now or never with British Columbia.

Vancouver firms will not hesitate to go after the contracts, we may be surs. What are the Island concerns going to do about It? Upon the measure of their enterprise and foresight now will depend the extent to which they will become a factor in compétition with the Mainland < shipbuilders In the future. If they permit Mainland firms to Sake all the contracts allotted to tfc*s coast now they will find themselves hopelessly handicapped In catering for future business for they then will have to compete I with an established Industry of extensive facilities and substantial capital derived from present business. They will not be able to hold much of the business which now comet to them.

A few years ago Goughian A Bon were building contractor» In Vancouver who got Into difficulties through an unprofitable contract for a “skyscraper** Nothing daunted, when the' demand for shipping first became acute, they tackled shipbuilding al though they had ha! no previous ex perte nee In this work. They secured site on Valse Creek, went after con tracts and are now building steel vessels. Ttiey probabK will have a gener ous share of the new Dominion ship- hnii.Un* programme Undoubtedly, they had strong backing, but this the obtained by going after It. None <

chines to' a firm as tribute from fate. Our "climate I n<l scenery- will not bring them; neither will resolutions and speeches. » hope Victoria firms are already hot-foot aftfr some of those ten contracta.

Steps' are being taken by- the Increased ^Production and Food Conservation Committee, of which Alderman Sargent Is chairman, for the Organisation of. » vacant lot cultivation campaign In the city this year. A meeting of the Committee and cttlsens generally has been called by the Mayor for Saturday morning In the Council Chamber, when plans for the cam paign will be formulated,

v However pressing was the necessity of increased production which inspired last year's campaign. It was nothing like the urgency which calls for such activity this year. If there are any sceptics who think the food emergency has been overestimated and that “things will work out all right, anyway.** they are destined to receive

•vers shock later on. Some day they may find themselves on rations and that will be very uncomfortable, to say

t MsaL AUhOUirh It is a brand of discomfort to whiejh the people of Great Britain. France and Italy have been subjected for a considerable time, and which has been‘the lot of Belgium since the early weeks of the war. Just hpw far the Canadian people will have to put up "îth similar disabilities will depend upon the amount of food they produce. And every vacant lot under cultivation helps to solve what Is going to be the greatest problem of the

roes.A short time ggo the President of

the Port Arthur Board of Trade Issued a statement on the results of the cam paign launched by the Port Arthur Garden Club, organised by the City Council of that place last year. The statement showed that through the ac tl vit lea of this hustling organisation, product» were raised in thé following quantities and values:«,$00 bags potatoes, at1.100 bags turnips, at1.100 bags carrots, at4.600 bags beets, at ..600 1-ags parsnips, at40.600 lb* cabbages at S.400 lbs. onions, at ..1.100 bushels pAa. at 650 bushels beans at6.600 cucumbers at

more food^ production were the object, why not allow a local company to supply the need? Cowichan Interests are quite ready to do eo. If It Is eo vitally urgent that the Bay be opened So -commercial fishing. Was It because it Was feared that, seeing that the opening of the Bay was Inevitable, a local application for a license would he made, that so much secrecy surrounded the action of the Department? Why was the Duncan Board of Trade, or the lluncUh Municipal Council, or any of the other public bodies of Cowichan District not given an inkling of what was com* in*?

The Department will act wisely If It

should suspend operations under that license. for eome very pertinent Inquiries will be Instltüted In Parliament on the subject When the Session begins. Mr. McIntosh represents that district at Ottawa, and may be depended upon to get to the bottom of the whole proceeding and ascertain who and wlu~t are the Interests concerned In It and whence comes their “pull.**

Resolution Passed Following Address on "Life

STATED WORLD’S CASE AGAINST TEUTONS

London, Feb. London Dally.Telegraph says that President W116- n*s address to Congress on Monday was

most admirable presentation of the world's case against the Central Powers, given In unanswerable clear and previse terms.

The Morning Post describes (he address as grave, deliberate and restrained.. With regard to tliu President's reference to Csernln, It says; that as long

Austria !g dominated by Germany her ministers must submit to dictation^- and therefore tt Is Impossible to deàl with them.

London News.

The Daily News says that * If anything be needed to emphasize the diplomatic wisdom of President Wilson's recent speech. It would be supplied by a contrast between the principles laid down at Washington and the principles laid down at Versailles. It adds: "From the bankrupt statesmanship cf ^thv . ‘JtlfüL Conference has emerged what la In effect a reassert km of the knock- cut blow decision. No declaration of war alms was tormulated. No distinction between the speeches of von Hert- ling was recognised.

"The keynote of President Wilson's speech is the policy of the open door. Peace Is waiting as soon as the Cen trat Powers àre ready."

"Whereas the conservation of life Is now recognised to be of paramount tm portance, and whereas the present rata of infant mortality is a matter of giayWersVern, be It resolved that the ttpftal Service Comrolsilon of Victoria, unanimously and cordially endorses the proposal of the Department of Health V. form a "Well Babies' CHnSc" In this City, and respectfully urges the Mayor and the City Council to take the necessary action to egrry the proposal Into effect."

On a motion of the Rev. H. B. Osborne, seconded by the Rev. John G. inkbtqr, the above resolution was unanimously passed last evening at the session of the Child Welfare Social Service Conference hqld 1b the schoolroom of the Metropolitan Church. The motion fallowed Immediately upon an address delivered by the Rev. Hugh Dobson on the "Conservation of Life.

Local Clinic.■ RiwiklnK to the motion. Aldermen Peden and the City Health Officer, Dr. Price, both pointed to the fact that a clinic had been established last year and had been successful In doing good work. Its actlvltllea had been hampered. however, through lack of certain equipment which was essential to more comprehensive work. The A Id «aman fell that the Improvements would obtained this year and emphasised upon the meeting the neeeeslfy of their whole-hearted and continual support to the movement.

"The conservation of life Is lion s greatest problem," declared the Rev. Mr Itobson. "yet eo limited has

Hence, the Roumanian army whoee or ganlaatton *o far has been maintained Intact, is being constantly Increased In pr*e« and material, and von Mackeasen. therefore, has addressed an ultimatum to Roumanie .demanding the opening #f peace negotiations at once.

"With the backing of Soldiers like flrwiloff, Ilorntkiff ̂Alefcieff and .Kale

It certainly would lack nothing in numbers and Its must difficult prob |vm would be one of supply.

THAT LICENSE.

The Victoria City Council has i elated Itself with the various public todies of CoWSChan District In testing against the issue of a ‘puree seine license to a company for a part of Cowichan Bay. The license was le-

1 on January S without any regard he. wishes of the residents of the

district, which were well known, to the Department, having been vigorously submitted to Ottawa when a sinular project was under consideration in the fall of ISIS. Nothing is known of the company which ha/ received the Il

ls Is not registered in British Columbia ot Canada and the Cow- ichanites are more than ordinarily curious concerning Its personnel.

The opening of Cowichan Bay to commercial fishing I» opposed by the district, lor the reason» that it would deplete one of the few remaining spawning grounds and source» of fish food orf Vancouver Island, seriously handicap the operations of the Cow ichan Imtebery.“Interfere with ai portant supply of food for the Indiana spoil one of the most attractive sorts for tourists and visitors and depreciate the value of property. The residents in protesting against the me tloa of the authorities are not In sen stble to the Insistent demand for more rood'production, but they suspect that this Is much less the motive behind the issue ofWhe license than the yearning

of a privileged Interest for dividends no matter what havoc might played with the fisheries of the Bay.

The mystery surrounding the com pany, and the circumstances under which the license was Issued, furnish reasonable ground for suspicion

The ballroom of the Empress Hotel presented an animated appearance last night with Us whirling crowd of dancers, the more sombre hues of the dark blue of the Navy and the khaki of the military acting as a foil to the pretty gowns of the women.

The affair was arranged by the mem- ers of the Great Wjr Next-of-KIn

Association, and proved to be one of the most successful events of the reason, nearly three hundred dancers taking the floor and dancing to the strains of up-to-date music furnished by Professor Lou Turner's orchestra. ■■

About 9.3,0 the familiar notes of the National Anthem announced the arrival of the Lieutenant-Governor and Lady Barnard, who were accompanied by Mr* R. P. Butrhart and H. J. Mus- kett. By a curious coincidence yesterday. was the anniversary of the birth of Abrahaqi Lincoln, and on the en tranceôf R. B. Mosher, the American Consul, a delicate little tribute paid to the memory of the ianiotis President by the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner." v

wmrmmwmttmmmmvW'W'vWSflocal military circles mho attended the affair were Lieut.-Col. Hugh Major and Mr*. Major, Major J. iff Harvey. Lieut.-CoL CockbAirn and Major F. B. Edwards.

In addition to the dancing, devotees of card games were entertained in the two private dining rooms contiguous to'the ballroom. Eighteen tables -were arranged for bridge In one room, under tho direction nf Mrs. J. 8. liar vey, while In the other eighteen tables were devoted to military five hundred under the direction of Mrs. Denyer 'd Mr. Wtlby. Mrs R. 8. Day. the president of the organization, wleocmedlhe visitors as they arrive1.

It la anticipated^ that as a result of this most successful affair a goodly sum will be added to the association's funds for the continuation of their work In behalf of the soldiers sailors. »

known that the death rate In eome cities of Canada exceeded that of the largest city ef the world, London.

Sent Experts.Mr. Dobson said he was Informed

that, when In a certain section of the country It was found that "the pigs were dying, both Provincial and Fed era! Governments took action and sent experts to investigate the case, conditions were to be made so that the pig* might live; yet Canada, after being a Dominion for fifty years. Oiad failed to provide herself with ttonal Board of Health to conserve the life of her people There was not a city tn Canada of over 5,000 population which did not possess the beginning of what would develop Into slums.

Education.Mr. Dobson then launched Into the

whole subject of education, but especially Into that phase which he fell would be necessary to meet the national quest Inn now confronting Canada; the question of mingling the peoples who were coming to Canada s shores from every corner of the gloire. He warned his audience against the futility of approaching the subject from she standpoint of prejudice; such

viewpoint wa*l anything but constructive. - —------

As a fundamental principle, the speaker declared his belief that Canada should not admit to her shores those people to whom she was not prepared to grant the rights of citizenship. To those whom she granted admittance IV waff her duty to make It possible thaC* they should become worthy citisens.

Teacher» Too Young.Referring to the Royal Commission

the speaker stated that It was neces sary to adroit that Canada’s school system was behind the time. He re ferred to the fact many of the Dominion's teachers were too young for their, work, while other» looked upon, the teacher's profession as one to which they would devote thsfr time until something else*turned up. The type of personality of the educator

>t thïng. 1À tnfc speaker's opinion, but the required personality was rarely to be found under the sys tem that placed doctors, lawyers and clergy on a pedestal but teacher# on a secondary plane."

Admission of Foreigners.Before closing his address Mr. Dob

son outlined at some length an elaborate plan governing the admission of foreigners to Canada, should receive, and their ultimate admittance to complete cltleenshlp at time when they would be capable of assuming Its responslbtlRte».

Threaten Proceedings. — Although rumorth are reaching the City Police with regard to threatened proceedings against them, following the wholesale seizure of liquor recently at nine hotels for analyses to be taken, so far no formal intimation has been received that legal proceedings will occur.

OUR FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

To the Editor,—Mr. FlumcrfelVs letters have been road by myself with the greatest interest. With his conception of the financial position of the province 1 am in absolute agreement. Hie panacea for our financial evils appears to ihe Unpractical. I very much doubt M-tbe issue could be in any way disposed of, and 1 do not think either the Dominion or Imperial Governments would be justified in Coming to the as •iatance of the province and municipalities In the way Mr. Flumerfvlt »ug- seets

There la only one way by which we can meet our habtUttee, and that Is by Increasing our population. The latrtit resources of British Columbia are amply su indent to restore speedUy our bafence sheet tf developed gtrlct economy tn ordinary administration expenses fe necessary. Public works must be cut down B> the ' minimum, consistent with efficient service, and the produetlre assets of the province must he fostered at the expense nf thenon-productive.

The balance sheet presented to the House by the -Hon. John Hart dees not make pretty reading. Salaries amount to tl,638.*12.97, public work» to 12,515,630.44, and that extraordinary Item miscellaneous, appearing under the unhappy numeration XIII., comes tn tl,066.20* W- Almost as bad as the days when Bowser reigned.

Mr. Flumerfelf* scheme Is, after all, really only a makeshift,, and no maaent benefit or development can ever come to British Columblq till the peo pie have It drilled into them that Individual, municipality and Government must all cut their cloth according to circumstance», and that being in point

“FACE THE FACTS."

__To the Editor,—As I am convincedthat but few realise the seriousness of the present situation, though patent to any thinking observer or reader, 1 ask you to publish what the Canadian Food Bulletin, issued fortnightly .at the Food Controller» office at Ottawa, quotes from the two greatest author!-, tie* Lord Rhondda, the English Food Controller, says: “The food wanted by mankind does not exist. The word •shortage* is not strong enough for the situation. To put the matter bluntly, the whole world le up against a nasty thing, familiar to the people of India, called famine. • ** Again, regarding the wheat situation, he said: "The position in two or three month» may be

iHawaid that M vfbej farmers of England could only get a million acres of potatoes under cultivation this, year there would be no -fear of starvation, and by starvation

1: "I mean that starvation is followed by disease and*

death." Sir Edmund Walker, the Canadian banker, says: "The danger of famine is very near."

R. E. Prothero, President of the Board of Agriculture, England, ears:England le In a moat critical condi

tion, and approaching the rapids. If the farmers . do not assist him, and Baron Rhondda, the Food Controller-, the country would be swept over the rapids. He was afraid that all the carriage horses which had not been

t out to grass would have to be killed."

No words of mine can add any weight to the afcove,. Joseph In Egypt took precautions while there was yet time, and saved many lives. Soon it may be too late to saye. Remember that it will be your little ones who will suffer first and moat. We may have

A business concern In the sti j É| ËJÉ ■ *"~of hard time»* with an overloaded credit, has got to cut overhead charges to s minimum. We don’t seem to have got started on that yet. The next step, of course. Is to hustle up new business."In the case of a dovemment to acquire new population, new Industry and general development."

It has become noticeable of late that both Japan and China are turning their attention to the association sport to a degrsi never before dreamed of, and the kicking game now established In those Car away parts mined to stay.

Of all the brands of football, Including association, rugby and the intercollegiate American varieties, soccer appears to hold supreme sway In the Far Hast. Many Japanese students have been educated to both Great Britain and United States, and as a result are acquainted with every class of football played In those lands. Their general verdict, however, has been in favor of the famous game of soccer. It is significant to note that while away from tbe land of their nativity the___ jM*e athletes participated tç agreater extent in tiae association game and this tendency to a particular sport remained with them on returning to their home land.

jt is no less interesting to take cognisance of the fact that soccer is a game to which the Chinese, according to all reports, adapt themselves with a great deal of facility. It

HISTORY OF GOLF PRESENTS MANY FEATURES OF NOTE

Francis Ouimet Discourses o1 Progress of the "Royal

and Ancient"

Golf hiother game can boast of. Baseball In the olden days was a very erode Affair. r do Mi MM to iMÉMjBl» that the players were criadq and lew grace ful than the present day players, but I heir equipment certainly aras lew elaborate than that used by the rood

players. Masks were unknown. The catcher stood fir behind the batter. Broken finger* were frequent. A Player generally carried bruise» fi one game to another and had to play just the same; whereas, to-day, a atteste la always available to hop In and take bis place. Shin guards s mitts were unknown years ago. N< the player has at tenet two and w»n time* three mitts or glove*.

So. too. has gulf improve* *»y* Francis Oulmet. Tear* and year*, yen agtla, ago the bajl used Was a leather covered ball. uk| the Inride was made of f«Others. Tj»e clubs were made of wc<xL Drivers, maahtes and putters were of the same type of sty&-a longheaded wooden club, spliced and made of wood. Can you Imagine for a moment Chick Evans trying to get ont of long gras# with a wood, n club and wring the same club for getting tbe bail out of a beet print te a deep sand Pit?

Then came the tatroduvtu-n of iron clubs. The general style of Irons .was the same. Loft ere—that was tbe ns th* n for the maahle*—could be d tinguisbed from decks only through the amount of loft. The halls gradu ated from the*feather variety to om of gutta percha. This w*s a greet tan provement. The Introduction - of the "gutty” ball caused the growth of the ©U fashioned cross-banker*. At first the ball was made with an absolutely smooth surface. Golfer* wondered why an old gutty ball would travel yards further than the new one.

It never dawned upon them that the old tpll had beefi corrugated by "tops” and "half tops” so It had some chance to grip the air and keep going for a certain distance. When this conclusion was reached ball molds were made and the new balls turned out with varions markings. This had the same effect oh the flight of a bail that the rifling of gun barrel has on a bullet. If the barrel of a, gun perfectly smooth Inside, the buffet upon beirg discharge* would describe _ th* meet beautiful turns and twists aginable, and leave the object tack whole and healthy.

The first to a clause to substitute for the obsolete regulation one giving power to handle horse, aut•mobile and lajunch rcqulrcmcnut tm Sundays, and to sell all m* essery snpptles as well as to carrÿ out works of repair on. Sunday..

The ‘ other to to give power of enfonçaient to police coramtosloners In all organised municipalities of British Columbia to take a referendum on clauses to be enforced after receiving a ten per rent, petition, the decision of the plebiscite to be tending; lmmedl ately to wperwde and cancel existing legislation, and the rules not to be altered until another referendum has been voted.

The Attorney-General has made up his mind concerning his attitude ’towards the letter of the Police Commissioners in which the Board offers suggestions as “individual ****not in their capacities as civic officials. Mr Farris stated to a representative of The Times this morning he was not In the least concerned with the opinion of the Police Commissioners “as individual clüaene," and unless they would exercise their duties In an official capacity as to recommend» lions Which they deemed It necessary to make he would refuse them consid era t i<»n.

-One or the Other.The Attorney-General states em

phelically that jipon the Police Commissioners, elec|ed by the city of Victoria for a specific purpose, rests the responsïhiHty fAr the enforcement of the Lord's Day Act. H# says, however, that he is perfectly ready and willing to^ accede to any proper request from that body for leave to prosecute, but he stands pat In hto view that it to useless for the -Commissioners to attempt to shift their responsibilities by a process of taking one course officially and another course in theTtrie Af private citisens.

Denies Suggestion.To" the. suggestion that the list of

•persons guilty of an Infraction of the Act was compiled on the express in structlon of the Attorney-General, Mr. Farris denies that he did at any time, cither directly or indirectly, give di rectlons for such a procedure. The Minister to also at a loss to reconcile the attitude of the Mayor with the na ture of the letter reeelved from the Police Commissioners over the signa ture of the secretary. His Worship, says Mr. Farris, has already decided that It 1» the policy of the Police Com mtoslonere to enforce the Act accord* ing to Its thtent and Its true- legal con structlon. For that reason he falls to detect the point In the inferred argu ment that He should or should noLac cept the recommendations of fha body immediately it disposes to trans late itself Into “individual citizens.”

States His Course.The Attorney-General has expressed

himself In accordance with the foregoing In a letter of reply to the Police Commissioners, to whom he has also furnished a copy of his letter to the Chief of Police in response to the for mal communication which accompan led the list of offenders already •ferred to and detailed In yesterday*! issue of The Times. Mr. Farris points out that the Chief of Police made request in his letter for leave to prose cute. He does suggest, however, the Chief, that he will give his consent to pwwwrtrte in t hoeeêWHT Ilff"’Which a specific request for leave to prose cute Is made to him 4 the Attorney General) by the Police Commissioners in their official capacity as a civic body, reserving to himself the right of refusing Jp cases where there is ob vious discrimination.

- Not Specific Enough.The Minister states. 4n reference

the Chiefs letter, that all the suggestion contained therein Is that the Chief of Police will be glad to hear whether the Attorney-General „will give his consent to prosecute “In any or all of The enclosed cases."

Local Council Hears Sergt, Giolma's Views on Employ

ment of Returned Men

“That the Dominion Government take charge of vacant farms belonging to men at the front, temporarily, when desired by the owner or the friend in charge, and put returned men to work them under the control of a good Inspector; and that such occupation of a-farm be taken as part of a course In ‘agriculture and that therefore the man

be paid Just aa when taking a vocational course."

Such was the wording of a resolution passed this moraln„ by the Local Council of Women in annual meeting assembled. The motion was the outcome of a stirring address by Sergt. F. Glotma, a returned veteran, on the subject “The Soldier Come Home.

Returned Scfkllera.In his opening remarks he drew at-

tentfop to the fact that, as far aa could be estimated roughly. 66,000 men would be returned to British Columbia from the front, and must be provided with employment. Of this number perhaps 8.500 would be totally disabled and must be câred for. and the highest, pension given—$50 per month with $8 for the support of a wife— was wholly Inadequate to_ support man under the present conditions. In addition, perhaps 8.000 men would be returned part la Hy disabled, and all of tilCSt Would he seeking work. He voiced the opinion that the lack of a controller had lessened the efficiency of the recently passed Civil Ftervlce Act. which aimed at giving returned soldiers the preference In filling Civil Service positions. Farm colonies had been tried and hgd not been a success. He advocated the placing of returned men In farming communities on cleared land provided by the Government. '

Opposes Orientals.In response to a question as to how

such land was to be cleared, he expressed his strong opposition to any

The North Sea has never been so productive as now. says a Daily Ch/onlcle expert. The inference is tïiât the restriction of fishing has permitted an uncheykrd multiplication of fish. When we reflect that an cel may produce eleven millions of eggs, a cod or turbot nine million, a whiting 66,- 066. 'a herring, from 2&.M0 to M.MI eggs in a season, the case for fish prosperity in a time of freedom of the seas from trawlers may seem established But the rule of life is much more complex than that- All fishes multiply together in similarly favorable conditions. and great fish est little fish.—■ London Chro.iide.

Ottawa, Feb. 13.—The reinforcements added to the Canadian militia tince September 1, 1917, total 46.696. of whom 30,248 are draftees and 16.448 enlisted voluntarily.

Sir Robert Borden this afternoon handed out a report received by him front the Military Service Council with respect to the operation of the Military Service Act. It «hows the total number of volunteers enlisted in Canada from September 1 to January 31 (including men of all classes under the Military Service Act up to October 13. and men of classes other than Class One since that date) to l»e 8,795.

Kxemptlon Claims.The report of the Prime Minister

proceeds:•‘There were on February 2, 52.165

claims for exemption which were pending before the tribunals, either local or appeal, including the Central Appeal 4udge. Of these 29,683 were tfending before the appeal tribunals In the Province of Quebec and 4.5*7 more before the local tribunals in that provllwe.

“The Judges and tribunals are tie- Ing urged to eausc these pending claims to be disposed of at as early a date as possible, and It Is hoped that these representations will he effective. The very large number of cases pending In the Province of Quebec Is due to the fact that the military authorities were obliged to assert their right to appeal from the widespread exemption in that province in order to secure uniformity and Impartiality In tbe administration of the Military' Service Act.

“The compara lively small numlier of men 'called Into active service in the Province of Quebec results from the

fact that only thoee could be called up In the first Instance who did not appeal from exemption or whose claims for exemption were refused ami who did not appeal.

“The htàring of appeals by the Central Appeal Judge will be expedited whenever necessary by the appointment. upon his■ recommendation, of judge* to assist him in the rapid disposal of cases awaiting determination ou Anal appe il.

“In addition to the assertion of ap- priün. a toediuti ml w board has been instituted in each district, which will undertake re-examination of those declared to be medically unfit in every vase where there i* T«-aaon to doubt validity of the exemption on the grounds of physical unfitness.

‘ The small number of men ordered to report at Halifax ia due to the postponement of the call in Military District No. 6 on account of the terrible disaster at Halifax."

The report concludes with a statement by military districts of the men who should have reported for duty up to February 9. and of the numlier whoactually reported, as follows :

BRITISH COLUMBIA AS WORLD SEED BED

T wo Scientists to "Plead Claims of Province in This

Regard

Vancouver, Feb. 13.—On a mission to carry the industrial, war into Germany and make British Columbia the greet seed-, producing pr^lnce of the'North American continent, two men of science, Professor Paul A. Boring, of the University of British Columbia, and A. Me51 cans, seed expert of the Department of Agriculture at. Ottawg, witi kart Vancouver to-night to help or

ganise and promoke the seed industry for the coming season.

The possibilities of the new industry are said to be enormous^ In the light of experiments made with British Columbia grown seed and the Immensity of the market which the world war now lay* at British Columbia’s feet. One sweet pea seed buyer who.come here a few days ago,- on hearing that sweet peas seeded better here than in California, Is said to have offered to take twenty carloads at a dollar a pound If he could buy them. Prof. Boring, who weighs his words and handles facts with the care due to bis bositiftn. says that in Canada there Is a ' yearly market for 1,2 56.066 pounds of swede gnd turnip seed and nearly 1.500.066 pounds of mangel and b£et Seed- -not to mention the other seed requirements which formerly were supplied by Germany. France .and other European countries. ,

“Now is the time for- the British Columbia farmer to meet an urgent and immediate need for home-grown seed. He has a splendid opportunity. 4f he seises It in time to lay a solid, foundation for a permanent industry.” said Professor Boring in discussing the subject last evening.

However, Professor Boring and Mr. Me Means propose to go a great deal fuither than make speeches to farmers They hare authority from the seed branch of the Department of Ag rieulture to make contracts with farm era guaranteeing fixed and tempting prices for their 1*18 and 1*1» seed crops; and offering for the next six years subventions or bounties to farmers who will grow seeds. These bounties are over and above the market price which the seeds will obtain.

The tragically sudden demise of Henry Arthur Bayfield, 'who pae*ed awaiT yesterday afternoon at the Ft. Joseph’s Hospital following an operation for appendicitis, came a# a terrible shock to members of the engineering {profession and his numerous friends and acquaintances In Victoria and contiguous cities.

Since the beginning of the year Mr. Bayfield has been superintendent in charge of the Imperial Munition Board’s assembly plant at Ogden Point, where the steamships building for the Imperial Government are being equipped with machinery-. Up to a short time ago Mr. Bayfield was apparently rin the beat of health and his unexpec ted ebd cornea as a great shock to all who knew him. He was a man of sterling worth and a brilliant engineer. His high standing In the pro- ftukm is generally recognised.

In Prime of Life.The late Mr. Bayfield was cut off la

the prime of life, being but forty-five years of age. He was, bora at Charlottetown,' Prince Edward Island, and educated at McGill University, from which institution he graduated in 1890. His ability as a mechanical engineer soon became apparent aad he rapidly ta the profession.

Prior to coming out to the Pacific roast he was in charge of construction work in connection with important harbor works at St John. New Brun*

àek, and other large engineering undertakings in the East He then came out west and for a number of years held the position of Superintendent of Dredge* in Rritlsh Columbia under the Domimon Government.

At Hudson’s Bay.While acting in this capacity Mr

Bayfield designed and superintended the construct Inn of the tug* Point Bike. Point Hope and other iugbrot* operated by the Feder.it Government in theee water» In ISIS he resigned that poet t* become engineer ta charge of the construction of . the Hudson Bay harbor terminal» at FortiaumJjill.

He was thecu appointed by the Imperial Munitions Board to take charge of the fitting out of the wooden steamships at the Ogden Point plant here. He was particularly well-known In Vancouver, where he was formerly a member of the firm of Bayfield A Archibald, consulting engineers.

Much Shocked.R_ P. Rutchart..director j«r wooden

shipbuilding on the Pacific Coast for the Imperial Munition»; Board, speak ling W'fhe painfimy *1raawf-ttoatti of Mr Bayfield, eat*? "1 have had the; pleasure of knowing Mr. Bayfield for a number of yegra and 1 always had a very high yfdnkm of him, personally

iand profe«sion*tll>- It. was through the efforts of Capt. J W. Troup and *QM self that he was persuaded to come out here and carry on the work of fitting

1 dut the rrtisalr •ir*L*>*~ »-«..irtrm-ii..n on the coast. It was a great ihock tomaj lo hear of his sudden end."

Brilliant Engineer.A. E. Forman, chief engineer of the

Provincial Public Work» 'Department, who was a personal friend of Mr Bay- field. was greatly shocjped on being advised of his sudden demise. -He was a. brilliant mechanical engineer.-’ said Mr. Forman, and a man who took a keen*'interest in his work. He was a good practical engineer a» well as a technical expert. The painful suddenness of Mr. Bayfield's death comes aa 4 great shock to me."

Since Ms arrival here a fed months ago Mr Bayfield resided at 2980 Granite Street. Oak Bay This afternoon the body, accompanied by Mrs. Bayfield and Edward Bayfield. K.C., was Shipped to Vancouver, where Interment till take plncwfn the faiflHy f4ol. The arrangements here were in the hands ef the B. C. Funeral Parlor».

The late Mr. Bayfield was an assoc! ate member of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers. His father. Edward Bayfield. ÉLC, Is now a resident of, Vancouver, and a brother. Frank Ba; field, isja solicitor at the Terminal City

FOUR RUSSIAN SHIPS ARE ABOUT TO ENTER TRANS-PACIFIC SERVICE

dNo little excitement was caused about the hour of midnight yesterda; when a goodly portion of the Inhabitants of Oak Bay residing in that part of the district in the vklnlty of New port Avenue and Island Road wen aroused from their slumbers by the most hair-raising ejaculations that the human vocal organs might be considered caiwble of producing.

Something more tangible concerning the real source of the mysterious ter ror was found, when the door of Dr. p. M. Jones’s residence on Island Road, became the object of a frantic attack on the |6ut of w hysterical and half-fro**n Chinaman. The celestial was so enthusiastic in a desire to make entry for himself and to arouse the inmates, that he smashed the glass of the portal, despitejtbo re^dy response made by the doctor.

Even when entry had been made for the strange.. untimely visitor, It was some little while before the doctor was able to comprehend the talej of the nocturnal adventurer. Event- uaUy it was learned that the man had been shipweecked at a portion of the coast between Gonsale* and Gold Point. He and another Chinaman were taking their course homeward In a motor Ashing launch; their engine had stalled and the boat had floated onto Hie rocks. How he himself had reached shore was easily explained by the soaked condition of the man's garb.

A warm fy-e and necessary attention soon restored the survivor to a more normal state of mind and body party set out to see how his fared. A telephone message was sent the Chinese. Arm whose property the boat was. and another launch was rent around to the rescue. The rescue party thus dispatched from the city did not reac h the scene of disaster un.- til about 2 o’clock this morning-where they Cpund the other member of the crew still surviving >n the boat by that time almost filled with water.
