BREST-LITOVSK SEES ENEMY AGENTS AGAIN,

BUT NOT BOLSHEVIKITeuton Peace Delegates Arrived at That City Only

to Find Telegram From Bolsheviki Asking Negotiations Be Held at Stockholm

London, Jan. 5.—When the delegates of the Central Powers arrived at Brest-Litovsk to resume the peace negotiations they found no Bolsheviki delegates there, according to a Vienna dispatch to Zurich forwarded by the Exchange Telegraph Company. All that awaited them was a telegram from the Bolsheviki representatives asking that the negotiations be transferred to Stockholm.

Uncertainty still beclouds the status of the Bolsheviki German peace negotiations. Both sides have declared that certain proposals of the other side did not meet with their approval

The Russian position, coupled with reports that the delegates of the Central Powers, and even those of Germany, were divided as tothe question of annexations, appears 1 the stronger on -, but there is no indt- ! rati in that Germany ariU repede.

No Use for Berlin to Offer Separate

Peace to Japanese

Mexico City. Jan. 4.—If the enemy propose* a separate peace no matter how advantageous. Japan will reject it. Baron Fugitxro Otorl, the new Japanese Minister to Mexico^, declared to-day in a. statement concerning the attitude of hie country. Japan, he said, would remain on the side of the Allie* and was co-operating m the wag to her full extent.

"We are not fighting a war, of aggression against the German people." declared the Prime Minister. “The destructif on- disruption of Germany or the Germ a n people ha* never been a war aim with us since the first day Of th* war till now The British people never aimed at breaking up the German peopice or at a disintegration of their state. Their wish is not to destroy Ôter many’s great posithm in tbe world but to turn her aside from schemes of military domination to devote her strewtth t» beneficent tusks."

He declared Groat Britain waa not fighting to take Constantinople from Turkey, nor destroy Austria- Hungary.

"We are not fighting," the Prims Minister said, "to destroy Austria- Hungary nor to deprive Turkey of it* capital or the rich lands in Asia Minor and Thrace which are predominantly Turkish."

New Constitution Needed."Our viewpoint is that the adoption

of a democratic constitution by Germany would be the most convincing evidence that the old spirit of military domination was dead, but that Is a question for the German people to decide."

Appeal Ju.ffc, under the Military Service Act. in four cases. Three of the cam?* relate to applications for exemp-

Ah adverse judgment is given In the ease of the application of E. 8. Ollne, of Dak River, ' Man., an accountant who did iM.me work on his father's farm in 1917. As he has not been habitually or effectnally engaged in farm work, the Central Appeal Judge finds that “there Is no ground whatever for considering that his services, on the farm would be comparable In national value with his services as. a soldier.

Chafigèd Occupation.A somewhat different case hr that

Of V. McL. Watson, of Arden. Man., who in the autumn of 1917 sold out his share in a hardware bust: bought a farm, got married and went tc. live on the farm.

“The tribunal." said the Judgment In this case, "will be doubtful of thè national value of a man who has abandoned another occupation and turned t© farming with the object of avoiding military service. Where such a change of occupation took place after the authoritative announcement of the policy of compulsory military service, the plea of national Interest is not. In the opinion of the Central Appeal Judge, to be listened W*

The subject of the application dees the heavy work on the farm, and the other son, wrho works a farm for his aunt, has been exempted- The Central Appeal Judge, after ex- prosing tiie opinion that the results of the labor of the father and son not give evidence of effective application of their energies In agriculture, declares that . exemption should fm granted In this cape until June 1.

REORGANIZES CABINETIN NEWFOUNDLAND

St. John’s NfkL. Jan. By a reorganization of the Cabinet effected yesterday. Pfettiler-Elect Wm. Lloyd, leader of the Fishermen’s Union party. Is. enabled to retain power and probably win be able to conduct the government of the colony until the general election.

Mr. Lloyd, the successor of Sir Edward Morris, who has resigned to take Up his home in England, solved the complications art«ing from the reetg nation of. three Ministers l*y reducing the Cabinet to nine members instead of retaining tlie enlarged ministry of 12 created last July.

the restin British Columbia have raised their raise, for furs of all kinds, with the result that at the present time It Is not unusual for an experienced trapper to make as high as from $2,500 to $3.000ÉriMpmonths. N. San tamarins, one of the roost experienced fur men of the north, is the authority for this statement, made yesterday at the Hotel Vancouver.

While the demand for furs is good, what troubles the trappers is that all the best furs are being sent out of British Columbia to tbs United States and other parts of the world, with the result that the people of Canada are getting only what the people of other countries will not take.

And. furthermore, it is peculiar. Mr. sàritam&rihâ pom ted but. thàt price», even for the inferior article in Canada, rule higher than they do say In London. Eng, It Is easier to buy high grade Canadian furs in the metropolis of the British Empire than it is to purchase them in Vancouver, said Mr. Santamarlna. who has had experience of this business In both the eastern and western hemisphere*. So far as quality is concerned, even Russian furs are not superior to the-Canadian products, which command a good price in any quarter of the globe.

The greatest customer which Canada ha* for furs is the United States, said Mr. 8antam*rtna. and the tael that the prices have advanced from 30 to 40 per cent, has not liad the slightest effect on the demand. Furry animals were as plentiful a# ever, be said, and there was no indicatkuw'that there would be any decrease. Crossed foxes wyre in greatest demand, he remarked.

A New Year’s SuggestionTN nearly 60,000 Canadian homes the good "*• wishes for a "Happy New Year" have

i been backed up by the protection afforded by a Mutual Life Policy. Actions speak louder than words.

It is also a cause for pride that these homes are protected by an all-Canadian - Company founded by Canadians and conducted exclusively for Canadians. All of our funds are invested ^ in Canada and in non-specula live securities only.

é

Te these who ere looting forward to the Hew Year without protection far their loved one* we would offer this practical suggestion : Calculate the total value ofyour estate and a* pear- self this vital question: Were your loved ones suddenly deprived of your present Income, far how many years could they live upon what you have laid hy?

For Instance, a man has gl,000 ready money in the bank. For bow many years would this sum feed, clothe and house the average family in these el- pensive times?

Were the $1,000 Invented at « per cent, could any average family live on an Income of $100 a year?

Are you certain that year present estate will be Intact ire, ten, twenty years hence? U yon are already insured, is year present policy adequate? Figure it out. These are vital questions.

By means of » Mutual Ufa Policy you can make sure provision far your dependents far the Hew Tear and the Uncertain Future. There Is a Mutual

Thus, under exist - Ing conditions adequate railroad service cannot be maintained except by the imposition of a serious handicap on the economic activities of the country.

There may be à Unionist party after the war, but ft Is not likely to be the present coédition. The fusion which was recently endorsed at the polls Is an innovation based solely upon the exigencies of the war. It could not have been erected upon any other foundation. It may not last even through «be war. The problems before ft are.of extraordinary magnitude and the remedies that may be demanded of such a drastic nature that its life may be surprisingly short and we may see one or more Governments rise In Its place. There are certain questions which the present Administration Is unable to deal with because they hopelessly divide the various elements In the Cabinet and the party. The tariff Is one of them. The Government o" ership of public utilities IS another. It may not be possible to keep those questions suspended In the air until peace. II may be found Impossible to carry out the Government's war programme without disposing of tbeny. The recent increase of freight rates Is sure to arouse the West; which will demand that the Government override the decision of the Railway Commission, and that would bring * the Ministry face to fare with the subject of Government control of the rail

CRITICIZES CITY SOLICITOR.

To the Editor:—On behalf of my fellow clerks and myself I wish to register a strong protest against the advice tendered b£ City , Solicitor Han- nington at the ‘City Council meeting on Thursday evening as reported In the press, when the padded petition was submitted asking for i referendum on the Half-Holiday Act. 1 am not well acquainted with rules of order, but understand when a petition Is reported out of order for any cause It Is neither read nor considered, nor is expert advice 1KB pat lfj»n«|* ft anyrate the parties who are behind the referendum petition *haye thetr solicitors to advise them, and having failed to present their petition hi accordance with the law. It Is somewhat officious for the City Solicitor ,to becotne their partisan and advise them as to their course In an effort to bring the petition to life by Monday evening next. The retail employees feel very much aggrieved over the attempt made by a very small section of the trading community to deprive them of their highly- prized Fatnrday afternoon holiday, and they doubly resent the action of the City Solicitor in his effort to aid them. The retail, clerks have neither the money nor the time to put up a strong defence against the attack on the Saturday holiday, though they will their level best. Thé majority of thejwmtmBtwg pubBe are quite émirent with the Act as It now opiate*, and th«* workers can only hope that, if the petition is resurrected and revamped to meet the necessary conditions legally that they will again aid us lq keep- rns tt.,* half-holiday ori Saturday The retair worker* ~WT tong hour» andt short pay, and they trust they at least wHI be permitted to retain their “Saturday afternoons off.” which is the one time they may pass a few pleasant outdoor hours with their families.

FREEDOM OF WORLD” HAS MOST THRILLING SCENE

The most astounding scene ever filmed for the motion picture Is In "For the Freedom of the World," which will be the attraction at the Pantages commencing next Monday afternoon.

It cornea as a rliigfut to a soul-stirring story of war and love with the great world conflict now raging ne th*- background. The young and beautiful wife of an officer of the American Legion of the Canadian expedttloa&ry forces, violating an Iron-dad rule of the W*r Office, disguises herself as a nurse and goes to visit her husband at the front. Through’ the machinations of a cowardly offWf, once a suitor for her hand, her presence and her hue- band's knowledge of It la exposed.

Husband and wife are arrested and ordered before a court martial with the knowledge that their trial can re suit in nothing short of the verdict prescribed for every such violation of the regulations—death before a firing squad. Rather than see his bride suffer such a fate her - husband shoots her with his service revolver, and she falls at his feet breathing her gratitude with "Thank you, ray husband.'

Motion picture crttlc* who have seen advance showings of "For the Freedom of the World" are una mous In proclaiming this the to thrilling moment they have ever w

"For the Freed im of the World" t written by Capt. Edwin Bower#Hesser, an oltleef in the American Legion of the Oanedtaa army. It la a powerfully dramatic story and possibly the great

est and most timely patriotic motion picture ever produced. Tho1 theme of the story Is carried by a Tew exceedingly capable actors, and their work Is set In a true military background furnished by the training camps of the Canadian array In Eastern Canada. This feature alone Is of Intense Interest throughout the picture. Thousands of Canadian soldiers are seen In the daily routine of becoming “fit" for their work overseas.

This wonderful spectacle drama win be shown on the Pantages screen et the regular times on Monday and Tuesday, and every afternoon thereafter,- - erwmwmchnr ■*!'T'd*cI5cki 7

MISS BILLIE BURKEIS BEST PLAY YET

Watts. “The Rise of Jennie Cushing" Is Miss Ferguson’s seoopd appearance In film and was selected because of the wide range afforded the gifted actress to display her talents. There Is a wealth of intensely human sit nations which cannot fall to more even the most bBW theatregoers.

HEN you are feeling absolutely miserable with chill or cold that seems to have struck through and through your system—lay a piece of Thermogene over the aching spot.

A piece can be taken straight from the box and applied at once; Its action can be regulated as desired, and It can be worn without the least to convenience night and day.

With regardto water work» the report recommend.* complete plan» and records of the sys

should be kept tn duplicate, plans of the works at the dam» and profiles should be kept, and that a V< cording metre should be placed on each supply main at or near the city boon dary.

They recommend five new main* eight-Inch ones on Comox. from Mach leery to Front: across Mtltsnne River from the end of the present main m Prtdeaux Street to Second Street from the supply mains on Alber Street, along Mac bleary Street and Farquhar Street to Esplanade Street on Victoria Crescent In place of the present four-inch main, and also » alx- tnch main along Esplanade Street from Farquhar Street to Grace Street, and along Grace Street to Ntc«>!

Partially Helpless Rossland Miner Assisted to a Com-

merciaL Course

it would be safe to say that all public Institutions, have their faults and from time to time are required to submit thcmscive* as a target for general criticism. While there are many indications that the operation of the Workman's Compensation Act' has lK*in attended by eminently satisfactory results, the members of the Board responsible for Its Administration would scarcely arrogate to themselves the belief that their Judgments were always perfect.

Muscle Crushed Off.The average individual, however, may

not be aware of the elasticity of the powers vested in the Board, while the case of a Rossluml miner, who is beneficiary under the Act. Is of some interest when the general public Is reading much of vocational work and the adaptability of Thnihns Atkins to profession* to which ho waa an absolute stranger before he donned the uniform. While following his somewhat htixardou* calling this miner had the misfortune to twdw inluriee the bleeps muscle of his left arm. In fact the muscle was completely crushed off and the upper part of - the bone left hare.

All the strength left in the Injured member Is that giermlttlng a very feeble movement of the fingers, m*t sufficient to be of any practical value The man is entitled to a pension of 82,7<>Î 6», payable monthly on tlie basis •*f fifty-five per cent, of the difference in the amount he was earning before the Injury and that earned under his disability. Free medical attendance and hospital of course is supp/lled under the Act.

Practical Method*.With some little knowledge of cler

ical work before taking up mining the beneficiary- now Inclines his thought* to a continuation of suhh studies.. In short, he has made up nls mind to roane to Victoria with hfs wife and four children—he la thirty-four years of age—and take a course at a commercial school.

To do this be asked the Workmen'* Compensation Board to commute portion of hls pension to permit of the taking of tlio course. Thle was possible: furtbernv'i *. th- B-.nrd hns n!«n advanced him 8300 for the purpose of enabling Mm to bring hls family to this city. In addition to that, arrangements have been made for a certain subsistence allowance while attending school.

-The -fees! Will y of these practical nr.-, rangements for Injured men should at least help popularize the Act.
