Fire which destroyed the paint and blacksmith shop, a huge structure in the centre of the group of buildings at the Win ter headquarters of the Ringljng Brothers’ and Barnum and Bai ley circus this morning, created a wild panic among the animals in the menagerie. An early estimate fixed the damage at $100,000.

As the flames shot up. accompanied by dense clouds * of smoke which penetrated the animal barns, the roars of the lions, tigers and other caged beasts were mingled with the shouts and cries of the keeper* who were attempting to allay their fears.

In the elephant house, about fifty feet from the burning structure, the great beasts were bellowing in terror. Keepers seized blankets and threw them over the elephants* heads and succeeded ifi preventing them from breaking their chains.

that in fruit and fish lay thé chief opportunities, so far as Queensland was concerned, of trade with Canada, and particularly British Columbia, lie explained that Queensland already exported large quantities of preserved fruits of a tropical kind, and B.C, apples were already finding a good demand at a time when Australian apples were off the market.

One thing he particularly emphasized waa the possibility of exchanging the soft woods of British Columbia for the hard woods of Queensland. The latter were particularly fine for finishing work In cabinets and Other articles of furniture, he pointed out.

He mentioned that he had received #»n Invitation from Hon. T. A.

For the same reason he had declined an Invitation to speak to the Canadian Club at Vancouver on Monday.“SAFE AND SANE"

Many Ex-Service Men Lose Government Positions in

BritainPart of Economy Plan of the

AdministrationLondon, Feb. 2 (Canadian Frees

Cable)—The dismissal of a large number of temporary clerks in the Government departments has caused consternation in the ranks of the Association of Ex-Service Men.

The members of the association contend they are the prln<<pal suffers by this economy movement on the part of the Government, and they complain bitterly that such action is contrary to the expressed sottcitude of Premier MacDonald for the ex- service men, particularly as ex-service men " are being displaced while many who did not serve in the army are being retained, the latter including old pensioned civil servants and women.

The association has asked Premier MacDonald to receive & deputation in order that the case for its members may lie presented to him.

It Is stated the drastic cuts In question are due to measures instituted by former ITemler Baldwin, and are in no way attributable to Premier MacDonald. ______

Moscow. Feb ’. Addition»! taxes on the bourgeoisie were proposed by M Larin, the Russian economist, m a speech at the Soviet Congress yea- terdav in connection with a discussion of Russia's financial policy.

He said persons earning more than fifteen chervonets a month should be heavtbr taxed. The Government previously had forced such wage earnersto take otrt a compulsory-Government loan, but he asked why it should be necessary to pay them six per cent, interest.

The Congress discussed and will probably approve a new farm bank for loans to peasants. The Government will endow this institution with « noon .m# gold rubles.______ __

we shall hasard the guess that tecoverv will be almost as rapid ami complete as soon as it is discovered that Mr. Railway Mao Donald and his Cabinet colleagues will require verv definite assurances of good and honest behavior from Russia before they will consent toappend _their signatures to the inevitable treatiesof concord. ...

There is nothing tirtose from the course which the Government has taken. There is a good deal to gain—conditional, of course, upon Russia s practical demonstration of good faith. Nestor $tion of complete political and commercial Ma tions between the two countries means that l&O, 000.(Kill Russians re enter the market for British goods—ostensibly assured of fair dealing by the "nstomary undertakings on the part of the sneetive govermnentth It means also that Ureat Britain has once more act the pace towards a better miderstanding between • peoples who were caught in the whirlwind of war and its after- math U puts an outlaw nation on her honor and virtually invites other Governments to do likewise

Herein lies Russia's hope of better things and more of a guarantee for her good behavior. Kir it follows that if the other great powers emulate Britain's example the authorities at Moscow will have to conform more nearly to international usage and discard the balance of their Communistic ptactiees. On the other hand if. in the face of general recognition, they should still remain tricky and dishonest, Russia s, condemnation and isolation would be more complete

uros do not complete the whole bill of cost, but they include all those charges into which com petition enters. Interest and insurance on in vestment costs are not taken into the reckoning because they would be practically identical in either ease It is authoritatively pointed opt, moreover, that grain should he delivefed in less time if shipped by way of the Pacific C oast instead of through St. John. f

In any event the comparison of costs and its due -advertisement should still further ndvaXlee the ease in favor of a much greater port development for grain handling in British Columbia. X'aneouver has led the way and Victoria, we hope, is on the eve of realizing a practical start to a considerable share of the business.

CQNVINCINQ FIGURES

Figure's compiled by the Publicity Bureau of Vancouver indicate that in 1922 37,591 automobiles visited the Terminal City as compared with the 63,027 cars which crossed the international boundary line in the lust nine months uf 1923. The general movement of tourists by the mure strictly regulated means of transportation would reveal a proportionate increase over the same period.

These figures show what the holiday business means. They indicate- the drawing card of a tourist auto camp. Because Vancouver's increase of last year was easily duplicated by X ictoria as figures recently quoted amply prove. But the point for the people of this community to remember is (hat every cent spent in bringing the holiday maker to this part of* the world earns large dividends. It is the only argument necessary to justify the existence of and support for the local Publicity Bureau.

SAANICH ^POLICE COMMISSION MEETING

To the Editor:—As the report of the proceeding!* of the Saanich Police Commission held last Wednesday was not given in detail In your issue. It might appear misleading to thoee who were not present at the* meeting, I refer to the discussion re engagement of a fourth constable.

Pleading efficiency, ConwplssiiM»' Dempster supported the recommend - ation of the chief of police Xhat a fourth constable should be taken on the strength for sis months* proba tlon. Commissioner King stated that while he had run on an economy platform he was against impairing the efficiency of the force, at the same time, being a new member on the Police Commission he did not feel In a position to give a decision that evening.

I suggested that we might relieve the police force of the collection of certain taxes, and promised to take up the matter with the Council. At the same time ! stated that I was strongly opposed to any addition to the police force, and lbatt we should endeavor to economise this year.

As it was obvious that the commission could not- agree on the question It was finally moved by Commissioner Dempster and seconded by Commissioner King that the estimates he laid on the table until next meeting. when a reply would be re- cclved from. Iha Counçil In connection with tax collecllonk by the force.

Cincinnati HasPostponed Visit

The United States scout cruiser Cincinnati, which was scheduled to visit Victoria yesterday, has postponed her visit until February fl when she will come here and rgmam for «hr* day., Aflar »•**«- ino th8- nort she will go to southern waters.

Abresth from the freezing winds of tbr Canadian Arctic, with some

thing of its loneliness. It» eavagery ita call upon the elemental qualities of courage and endurance »nd a dash of the romance of the long trail» are embodied in Mountie. veteran hero of the wilderness,and new leader of the Chateau Krontenee dog-team at Quebec.

Mountie 1» a huilfy. in other words, part wolf and hia wolf etrain enows tself in hie handsome bead, arith lU chirp earn and nose, it» steel-hard, faming eyes, its glesmihg fangs and Hi greet ruff of fur. He is a dark grey giant, almost ane hundred weigh! of i .iacle, bone and sinew, ferocity,

I c-im determination and unwavering Hd-lity. Tie was horn awayjup within the Arctic Circle, at Lac-du-Brochet. acught in 1919. when very young, bv

Sergeant Grennan of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and trained by him. H« pu in nearly five years aa a member 01 that famous force running patrols on Hi» Majesty-» Service with the red-coated heroes of the waste.

The journey from Le ras, in Northern Manitobs. where he was purchased, to Quebec, a distance of well over two thousand mile», was an exciting and extraordinary experience for Mountie. He spent Christmas Day at Winnipeg, where the kind- hearted officials of the Canadian Pacific offered him seasonal fare, which nc did not like much, except as a dessert IqUowing a mta of his accustomed fish and oiscuits He made friends with the baggage men, who were more than sorry to part with him. At Montreal, he had a dav a

rest and there adjusted himself comparatively easily to the strange tur moll of the great city. His driver. Arthur Beauvsia, an Indian from Caughnswaga. took him for a short stroll through the streete, where he created a tremendous aenaation. And no wonder, for Beauvais aays he is . p.„ without exception the finest huaky he 1 u.r has ever Been, while the Mounted Police report that he has always been greatly admired wherever ne haa been, both for hi» appearance and hia capacities.

Now he ia at the Chateau Frontenac. working comparatively easily at giving visitors a ride and ie one of the big attractions of winter-time Quebec and wilt no doubt shine brilliantly at the forthcoming carnivalt.h#*r*

He never has been hurt because the others can t hit him.

Young Htrtbling furnishes an interesting example of the result of heredity and early athletic training. Father and mother were trained professional athletes, living the hard, clean lives necessary to their dangerous occupation, enthusiastic over feats of strength and skill. From the time he wâs a baby he waeArained to become an acrobat.

That training made him supple, quick. bol<V adventurous, enduring Hfidwtrong- Ilia early Start in boxing exhibitions made him an unusually skilful boxer when he began lighting in the ring The ring offered much more of a financial reward than the big tent.

A student In the high school In hi» home town, Macon, fit. Young Strib- Hng took a great interest In all the school sports and wanted to play onHie Basketheti-team. .Naturalb' as hewaa a professional t*oxex he couldn t p! iv as an amateur in any other athletic sport. So he practiced with »l>e team*, went to the gaules, and. kept up his boxing.

The first time Willie was heard of outside Georgia was when he met Mike McTigue. Mike ha* the unique distinction of being a world's champion, although only a second-rater and unwilling to risk" the title against any dangerous light heavvwelght. Since taking the dec! sion over Battling Siki in Ireland on Ft Patrick's Day. with the ring surrounded by the Irish axmy and guns going off at the comer l>elow. Mike has dodged danger perslstentlr and

been bush

Hie left and right are equally developed. At nineteen, he weighs lb.» pound* st ripped. He wttFgrow from ten to twenty-five pounds bigger in the coming three years. Ten pounds bigger, he'll still be a light heavyweight. Within a year, with more experience, he should give Gene * un- n.y a hard rohte.t for th, championship- McTigu, Isn’t likely to liKiir* a vear from now. Mike la remarkably well hullt for boxing, ha, speed and a fair punch, and la a very clever boxer. But even before he waa champion he wouldn't take a chance, and since gathering a title he ha. become as cautious as a fat rabbit in ths coyote country- , .,

The champion who won t fight IS soon forgotten.

Of course Young Strihllng may go hack to school. He may box along In •the sticks’’ and learn more nnd then come Itack to New York and clean up the best in the light-heavy pi.« He may be a champion in another vear, or he masTbe forgotten. But It a likely he'll go along well in Spite of the handicap of haX'1'5^lNhl1 familv in his corner.

Strlbling is five feet ten.16Ô. is fast and likes to "pull fancy stuff’ while bbxing. He hits equally with either hand, but i* no great sucker. He has a very good defence.

The change In the system of employing road foremen for each ward as suggested by the Reeve, was an Improvement be the "Id order of one foreman, employed for short periods, never getting a» goAd a grounding on work as a permanent official.

Councillor Kirkham stated that thv change met with his approval as the old methods of road work dftd not prove satisfactory in Ward One. This was the case last year, at least, he asserted.POLICE REDUCED

With a view to affecting a more economical administration In the police department. Reese Macnhal brought, a suggestion to the Council, In which he stated that the municipality could get along with three constables Instead of four. If these were relieved from the responsibility of collecting the road' tax. The Council Immediately decided that the plan be followed out.

It would be possible, should the need ever arise, tv appoint special deputv constables, the Reeve pointed out, and In this way the salary and cost of uniform for a regular constable might be saved by the municipality. The upkeep of one of these constables for a year amounts to approximately $1.150. it was stated.

The finance committee was authorized to arrange for the collecting of the road tax. and t*e relieving of the police department of this respon slbliuy. 9COMPLAIN OF ROADS 1

Complaints reached the <*ouncil last night from an irate dweller of the Vrospect I*ake district, where, he stated, the roads were in a very bad condition, A broken culvert, this man complained, had been left for some months without any repair work betnr attempted on R. The result was that the road In this area was flooded and practically impass- able. The dweller from the Prospect Lake country further complained of the treatment which the Council had meted out. and the Council. In its wiadom. promised consideration.

A petition, containing elxty-s**ve«8 signatures from Ward Three ratepayers was left with the Council last night, asking that Bdgelow Road be extended in their ward. Councillor Vantrelght was authorized by the Council to look into the cost of land

GRAIN MARKETQUIETER TO-DAY

Chicago. Feb. S (By R. P. Clark Wire)—Wheat: A lot* of week-endprofit taking was evident in wheat to-day, and in addition there was miacelHmeomi selling on the theory that a reaction was overdue, moreover, there was -a Utile "pressure owing to Increased'receipts of wheat at primary point.-, àtfilmoderate recension in premiums. Liverpool cables were easy also. Wlljl all the wiling, however, the market showed but Tittle recession at any time, and showed a surprisingly Mg capacity for absorbing sales. This suggests that the trade* has broadened to j greater extent than supposed. As 1 matter of fact there has been accum ulatlon going on for several days, if not weeks, and while there is no dis position to bid the market up ag gressively, holders nre evidently confident of their position, and are gradually Increasing their lines. Th)ts procedure is gradually tightening the market. In mrr opinion, this buying is Iwsed on the expectations of de- \ elopments that will tend to enhance the domeftlc price of wheat. The weather conditions are such as to encourage buying of the new crop months, while It 1» reasonable to expect a cut In our northwest Spring acreage.. Moreover, there should be a decision shortly on the tariff, (he commission having been investing!- Ing the situation for two months or more In the near futhre there is likely to l*© more news from Washington. with the question of extension of Herman credit again coming up. Receipts may pick up a little temporarily, but we look for no burdensome movement. Business conditions generally are on the gain, a constructive attitude is popular in stocks and cotton, and we believe the grain markets and especially wheat will Keep company with the rest of tKe country In an upward movementTirTftrr*

DANGER LATER IF APPREHENSION ALLAYED

strictly from a monetary or capitalists' standpoint, the danger appears to be almost twofold. There is the possibility of early unsound legislative proposal» occasioning a disturbing effect. Equally, however, the absence of such proposals may allay public apprehensions and a further appeal- to the country later, might give l^ibor a a still greater majority. In that case danger would threaten.

Probably the first test for the Government will come over international rather than domestic matters, especially as the recent appointment of

"The most remarkable fact iil>out the Cabinet from my t>oint of view is that, though its most prominent figures are men of extraordinary ability, every one of whom has be# n addressing crowded audience» throughout the L-wlted Kingdom on all the burning political questions of the day for a quarter of a century in speeches full of solid information and interesting political speculation, they are quite strange to the ordinary suburbanite. He knows nothing that is not either in his daily paper or in his house and garden.

“The names of the Parliamentary noodles, who. during that same period hav* been saving nothing at gnat length and never doing even that in an unexpected manner, are well kdwn, by name, there being nothing else about them to know.

“This js striking proof of the fact that the danger of democracy without publicity Is upon us. Nothing worth reporting is ever reported « if at all) until it is twenty year* out of date and then tt i*, wrongly reported.’"

Ohe of the greatest surprises has just come and more will arrive when the full facts are known here about the Socialist Government's idea of how England should recognize Soviet Russia now that the decision has been made. J

It is not going to lie a headlong dash at the Soviet with open arms with an invitation to come into the fold of nations. The process will he slow and deliberate and, according to present plans, wifi include a visit of a commission of Englishmen to Moscow to study conditions fhefe, and a return visit- yf Russians to London.to make the final arrangenients. providing those arrangements can be made to fit best the interests of the British Government as viewed by the present regime.NO BLIND AGREEMENT WITH SOVIET

That was the first surprise -Jo Englishmen, and possibly as much to the extremists in the Socialist party as to the general publie, but the extremists’ surprise has not yet become articulate.

ifmuNl not be forgotten that there is a serious wage dispute on with the miners—the strongest union in Britain and claiming six members "of the new Cabinet—-which for the moment is in a deadlock, hut which is not expected to come to a final tussle for a couple of months. It furnishes, however, rather a dark background for Premier MacDonald in dealing with reductions in wages x' „

Another thing that is having its effect because it touches the foundation of everything the Home- -S OB apparent lack of a desire by Ministers to,occupy Governmental quarters or to assume residential duties in London. Premier MacDonald has been in no. hurry to get into No. 10 Downing Street, notwithstanding that he is working in the executive offices there and also that .Stanley Baldwin has moved out.PREMIER WILL USE COUNTRY HOUSE

John Clynes says he regrets to leave his comfortable modi."> home at Putney *o accept the quarters at No. 11 Downing Street devoted to the deputy leader in the Commons. Mrs. Stephen Walsh wife of the new War Minister, has just seen the War Office for the first time.

This is the way W. A Davenport describes him; in the New York Herald.

The navy has lent htip for a year to the mayor of Philadelphia, and there he is conducting a mlnor^war of his own. cleaning up a city that had become the talk of tjhe continent.

Other people tried to “dean up" Philadelphia and failed. Governor Plnehot himself tried It without success. Mayor Moore tried It, and also tatted.

Then came Mayor Kendrick—and the geo* eral. “this little hawk of a man.”

He really isn’t a magnificent spectacle—this Butler. He is about 5 feet 9 He lyight measure, more were he to stand straight. Standing he gives the Impression of a lance being poised for throwing and when he starts walking It is as though he were flying, head foremost, at a target. He is in motion whether standing or walking. You wouldn’t be at all amazed were he to quit a sentence in the middle and turn a flip- flop before finishing.

Marry Lillian Russell

And Be Widower Forever

Alexander Moore. Former American Ambassador to Spain. Will Lie

Beside Her in Death

SEE Naples and die. said the admirer of a beautiful city.

Marry Lillian Russell and live — a witiower for the rest of your days, says the hu* band of an even more beautiful woman. Mr.

Alexander Moore, whom the late President Harding appointed minister to Spain, desires the world to knîkfr that this Is his determination.

“To have been the husband of Lillian....Russell,’’ hesays, “was a beautiful adventure." He would not achieve the antc-climax of marrying any one else. ‘T may do many fyliah things.” he said, “but not that.”

Such is the tribute paid after death

Hê took over the Philadelphia Job much asmight lead marines Into Haiti or Porto Rico

“1 told Butler that he'd have a free hand.

He's off. No use trying to keep at his heels.Following him is precarious. You plunge Into the traffic in his wake and inquire of patrolmen whether he has passed that way.

"Sure.” sighs the patrolman, ‘ he just went past as if the devil was chasing him. He’s probably In Chicago toy thtw time.”

And he has gone.* With a leap and a roar the flying flivver is on its way down Broad street until the General, feeling in need of cof fee, stopa ip front of a one-arm lunoh room.

“Just a minute, Mulcahy. Stop a minute while I get a cup of coffee." Miraculously a crowd gathers in front of the iuneb room. Others observe the commotion and Join the mob. What has happened? Somebody hurt? Somebody drunk? Somebody arrested? No, Duckboard Butler is drinking coffee. The crowd blocks traffic. He has to fight his way to-his car. few cheer pim. The majority are silent.

BARRIE SAT SPHINX-LIKE, NEVER SPOKE TO GUEST

Whimsical Playwright Smoked Pipe and Read Books; Marshall Smoked

Cigar and Read Papers

IT was a red letter day in the life of Capt. Mar* •hill when he received an invitation to dine with the great Sir James Barrie. Marshall,

’bays Harry Furniss,was a great admirer of Barrie and his ex treme opposite in every respect except in one important item — they were both Very successful. Marshall’s pleasant, witty comedies bad a great vogue; although bright and clever, they were chiefly of the hour.

"Marshall told me wtto great glee of the invitation to spend the night and

_dine at Barries house,” Furniss relates.

Sir James Birric “He called It *a red

letter day’ and said. T am looking forward, my dear boy, to an intellectual treat.* And I reine ber how his handsome face glowed with anticipation.

"Whua next I met Marshall I Inquired after the Intellectual treat. His face fell. The evening had been far different to whtft he was1- led to expect from the discursive charm of his host's writings. Barrie sat on ône eide of the fireplace, Marshall sat on the other. Barrie smoked hit pipe and read hia .book, and Marshall smoked his fcigar and réad his* 'paper; Anxiously the visitor waited for the conversation to Begin. Every second he darted an appealing glance at the sphinx like figure opposite;-every five minutes—and the precious time was flying—he expected him to lay down his book and open out in a strain of delightful reminiscence and anecdote. But the silenca.remained unbroken and the nervous tension got on .Marshall’s mind. When at last Barrie put the bookrwith calm deliberation, on his knee and moved his head as if to converse, Marshall almost sprang from his chair In his eagerness to lose no syllable from those lips. It was, however, a blind, a perfect snare and delusion. Barrie sighed. He lit his pipe, he lifted the book and read to bedtime. And Marshall collapsed in his chair—and did likewise.”

LORD LONG, one of the last territorial magnates of England, succeeded the late George Wyndham as chief secretary for

Ireland. The chapter of Irish recollections in his "Memories.” lately published, contains some amusing incidents. |

A good story concerns one of the hotels that' Lord Long had decided were to develop western Ireland as a holiday resort, but. Instead, gave him an international situation that he found rather hard to explain.

"An elderly spinster lady had been deputed by one of the London newspapers to travel through the country and report upon its suitability for holiday tours. Accordingly, she set out and proceeded to travel from place to place, partly by train and partly by bicycle. It was very hot weather and the roiifrimwvery dusty, so that frequently she suffered a good deal of discomfort and was in a most uncomfortable condition when she reached the end of her Journey

"She arrived af a hotel of very imposing appearance, and asked if she could have tea. but that first of all she would like to have a bath;' could she have one? To which reply was given by tbe manageress : TMeed; you cam ma’am. you can have any bath you like; we've sitting baths, lying baths, and shower baths.’

"8o the lady determined to have a long bath, followed by a shower. For the latter, she was instructed to puJl the shtrtng, and If the wather didn’t come, to pull a second, and a third time very hard.’

"Having completed her ablutions In the long bath, she pulled the 'shtriiig* in accordance with instructions. Nothing happened, no she pulled again. Sti|l no result! After repeating the effort several times, she whs ftartleh by hearing a voice from above saying in somewhat hoarse tones: 1 beg yer parrdon. ma'am, but if ye stood h little more to the westward. I'd hit ye better!" She looked up, and found to her horror and amazement that the 'boots’ was ensconced above her; with a can of water, ready to pour over her when she was ready, and when he was sure he could hit her!”

The new Lutheran Church at Prince Rupert, organized by Rev. P. E. Raisler. will he known as Ht. Paul's English Lutheran Church. It was formally set in motion at a meeting this week.

The reported strength of sentiment In fax-or of Church Union in Manitoba has led its protagonists to choose the legislature of that Province as the first to be asked to pass the t ion deemed necessary to give effect to the movement, says Dr. W. L. Clay.

The stormy reception which the Rill has met with in that supposedly friendly body has created disappointment amounting to consternation among Its promoters.

Six members of the cabinet belong to the Presbyterian Church, and seven private members belong to the same body. Seven others are Methodists. The Roman Catholic members are < rediud with a disinclination to vote on the Bill at all. The gttltude «if the Labor members, seven in all. will be watched with Interest. Already one of This group sought to win approval to the Socialist idea of equal IrëarnwiïT ttratt by nBeging- that the^ Unionists are all following a “land and mtrney-grabbing ' policy in “depriving the minority 4w-4h^ Presbyterian 1‘hurvh of their interests.''

A very aggressive campaign in opposition to th«' Bill is being waged under the leadership of Judgë Robson and the session is likely to be marked with a prolonged and probably bitter discussion on a question of union.

“Death and After”Dr. Davies’ Sermon

on Sunday NightSermons we heard in oOF youth on

Death do not check up with ,our experience of to-day, aeconling to R**» Dr. Clem Davies, who will preach on ) Sundav night on the subject. “Death , and After.’ Dr. Davies any» that many men, not |»rofessin4 1 -hristians. j face death calmly and do not fear the | beyond.

The assumption used to be. ac«'ord- J ing to the « entennlal pastor, that every man had a deep interest in the possibility of eternal life, and that his Interest grows mon- and more with advancing year» until at the-end it becomes a consuming desire.

•*I have iteen present at least at a hundred deaths and I'm sure It Isn't true that men are most Interested In Immortality at the moment %>f death, states" Dr. JUgxdes.

The old gloimny sermons on death used to drive |»eopie away from the churches, but these sermons were neither scriptural por scientific. If a man know tLthat-this life is a real fight and not a stutm-UiatHc and that It does really make a «ijfference how tr* tfre*. tt w4U ebanga JUa. outok . on evesything. Dr. levies will show.

The puator will also dlwcuas dc^tli and the psychic twdy and the. survival of personality. He will show that ihe spiritual la>dy is accident- proof and indwwiructlhle. and that trt< purpope of life is the-development of a spirit-body.

In tlte morning nr. Dgvte* will speak on “What Is the Holy Spirit ? ' and fifty of the eighty-eight new members will he received at mommy service. Thmx-thret» PUbftrto families were represent e«l in Lhc congregation last Htmdav evening. Over 4oa were present, in the Sunday School last Sunday.

In the afternoon at 3 o'clock Dr. Ernest Hall will deliver an address on the subject. “The Political Muddle and the Way Out/’ The lertunu will he given tn the auditorium.

The quarterly official board" will meet on Wednesday to definitely arrange for the continuation of Dr. Davies' ministry after April when the R.C Methodist Conference meets The church hoard will ask the authorities to leave the church to be supplied by the board.

Results: foot straight, ankle still weak with fluid, in the Joint, curvature checked but remained. She wore a special extension boot with steel braces until her healing.

■Now. in the face of this, such talk as that contained In the committee's if port, as “auto-suggestion." “drawing- up one-hip." and “the moment the leg was lowered the back was straightened," becomes such twaddle as to he altogether unworthy the dignity of men of either science or religion

,.,ise that they alone of all their contemporaries should enter the Promised Land. The people no sooner found rhe door closed against them than their feelings changed, and they were determined to go up into the land at all hazards. Moses warned them not to. hut they would not «legist They were as self-wllle<l in persisting In going as they previously had been in refusing to go. The result was h ‘crushing defeat <«t the hands of the Amalekites and Canaan- ites. _ ,

The point is this—Because Israel would not advance when God commanded it they were not allowed to 'nfferwanl" It was a case of now or never with that generation. They were brought to a point where courageous and energetic action would have meant the realisation of all their hopes and the fulfilment of all God’s promises. At the critical point they were found wanting. With the fruit of all their trails and labors Just within their grasp they xefuse«l to take It. On account of this rebellion they were excluded from their Inherl- tance altogether, and It was not until r“e<* their children grew to manhood that the nation entered Palestine.

The prtnctptr-tir of universal application. In every enterprise there is a moment when prompt and decisive action is essential to success. All the preparation of the past leads up to this point ; all the achievements of the future must flow from it. If. as events approach their culmination the opportunity is seized and full advantage is taken of it. more will be done in an hour than could otherwii be accomplished in years: if the opportunity be lost the work for the.future w lrK he a drag and ntruggle and will ultimately die away Into utter failure. That is what Shakespeare meant when he wrote:* There is a tide In the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to

fortune. . , , ,Omitted, all the voyage of their llfe#Is bound In shells** and tn miseries.

Illustration of this principle abound everywhere. The simplest is perhaps that of the harvest. There the preparation Of the soil, the sowing, the weeding, the watering, the lois process of growth, all lead up to the time when the grain la ripe. Then for a few day» is the farmer s opportunity. If he seize* It. he will Ire amply rewarded for all he has spent and done: If he neglect* it. everything Is lost, and no amount of labor at a later stage can regain what has been lost if the opportunity of gathering in the harvest be allowed toP Napoleon used to sav that the fate of every 1 rattle was decided in the space of a very few minutes. That was the crisis of the struggle. All that went„.hefore led up to this critical point, all that followed hinged on It. If full advantage were taken of that strategic moment, all that remained to be done was to complete the enemy's route and gather iq ihe fruits of victory; if that strategic môment were allowed to pass unim-

^There ie a Kadesh-Barnea Tn every career. To go forward he •*» win the Her posGbH» to the whole struggle of lire; to fail is to forfeit our advantage entirely. Often we hear of the "coming man.”- His Kadesh-Barnea has not arrived. Whether hi* poaaib llitie* will ever become actualities or not depends oh how hé deals with tt when it does arrive. But there are also "going men.” although we do not hear about them. Their Kadeah- Barnea ha* come and gone an«l their possibilities .gone w ith it. They are no longer men to .be reckoned with, nor are they growing factor* In the world"» progresstheir hold, and It la only a question of time when they will disappear altogether. Often the Kadeah-Barnea of life come* in a moral decision. Some principle i# presented to u# in the fact* of life, and we must either maintain It or repudiate It. The success or failure of many a man is determined by the way in .which he deals with such matters. Felix and Herod both shut the door of their own future against themselves by their treatment of the questions that came before them for decision. When Paul came before Felix and reasoned of righteousness, tempera née (And judgment to come. Felix trembled His moral capabilities were aroused to action, and he saw himself a» he was and realized what he might be-' come. But he postponed the issue to a fhore convenlnent time, and the more convenient time never came The awakened moral faculties fell back into their old torpor and the coma imperceptibly passed Into death. Herod likewise was brought under conviction of sin when John the Baptist preached. But he would not *ive up his sin. It would cost too much to put the law of righteousness and purity Into effect in his own

Consequently the Impression faded. The next thing he was trapped Into murdering the only man he evcr.re\er_ed„ .and the next he la found mocking the Hon of God in the hour of His passion. There was a time when he was very near the Kingdom. He was a king on earth and might have become a king and priest of God as well; but the hills of Kadesh-Barnea. he would not cross, and, first, he lost his place in God s Kingdom, and. next, he lost his earthlv throne and died in exile, a ruined man. The point is that when he would not come at God's time, no other opportunity was open.

The same choice .on the same-term* comes to men In every age Kv*ry preacher of the Gosoel has seen people very near the Klngilom who never enter if Their conscience wa* aroused their eve* opened to see the possibilities of salvation through Christ, and their will »o nerved by the Spirit of God that they felt able to aettle the whole matter then and there, but they would not. They never felt the Kingdom so near to them again On the other hand, man after man haa come to that place and decided for the thing* of God. The whole course to vlctorv in hla own life then opened up before him. and the full promises of God were reaf- Ized in his experience.“There 1* a time— 1 know not when.

A place 1 know not where.That marks the deal In v of men.

To glory or tlespalr."The same principle governs every

great movement. There comes a time In the history of each Church and of every good cause, when God calls His people l*> advance. It may be that they are hemmed In by the mountains and the sea, but they die obey the command at their peril. If they go forward, the word of faith will open a path for them through the greatest obstacles; If they refuse, they will be at the mercy <>f the!? enemies.

The publication In new an* revised form of “A Mind That Found IteelfT' by Clifford W. Beers <8. B Gundy, Toronto), will draw the attention of the public once more to a book that bids fair to be a classic, one that will take its place on the same shelf with De Qulhcey's "Confessions of an Opium-Eater.” and the •elf-revelations of Augustine and Rousseau. Measured by influence, rather than by subject-matter. "A

. Mind That 'Found Itsélf.” le by far the most i>owerful piece of autobiography that he been produced in this generation. First printed in 1*07, it has led to the founding of an International movement for the prevention apd cure of insanity, and has so moved the hearts of wealthy readers that more than $50Q,000 have been contributed to further the good work instituted by Its author. Any book that can arouse the best minds in a country and result in a crusade for the amelioration of human distress is eertainlv a phenomenon In these days of prolific writing and generous highly organised social service.THE STORY OF A MAN WHO CAME BACK

"A Mind That Found Itself le the story of a hum who came" back after wandering two years in the wilderness of unreason. In 1879. Mr. C W. Beers graduated at Yale. He had been a very industrioua student had overworked his brain, and for .the next three years, while he h«W a business position in New York, he was a neurasthénie. Finally, after suffering from « severe attack of vrtppi» hlw deulejed vitality left him the prey of a depression which obliged him to give up the struggle and go home to New Haven for a prolonged rest. But he should have done this several years before ; he had worn out his nervous force, and his disordered brain induced him to meditate plans of suicide. One day he attempted to kill himself by Jumping from the third-storey window of his fathers house Fortunately tfe fell feet first and struck on comparatively soft earth.

arrested and tired in court because he had attempted to commit suicide. Even when his brother came tq see him. he refused to speak to him because he thought ,his visitor was a detective masquerading as his brother But. wondefful to relate, It was this delusion that saved his fife. “To get possession of some dagger-like instrument which I could plunge into my heart »t a moJ ment sl notice— this was my consuming desire With such a weapon I

Inga during the wearing of this relic of mediaeval torture and the disgustingly bad temper and violence shown by the doctor, who knocked down the patient and with the help of an attendant fastened the harness upon him. The established "èode of dishonor." as this author terms it, which held sway in these institutions, assumed that the best wax, to ruin control over a patient was to cow him from the first. Nearly all the attendants, ignorant and untrained fellows, believed that "violent casee" could not be handled In any other way/ A favorite practice of theirs was to choke a patient into insensibility or in Winter to put him out In a cold corridor or in a cold cell. Mr. Beers said he suffered more from this latter practice than from all the blowe urtd lacerations he received from brutal keepers.THE INSANE RESPONSIVE TO KINDNESS

What the Insane most need Is n friend! This is.the great teaching of this remarkable book. Its author pleads for a changed spiritual attitude on the j*v.rt of many of those entrusted with the care of thé insnnçs

men and women. . . Inasmuch as pa tients cannot usually be set fre? to absorb, as It were, sanity in the community, it is the duty of those entrusted with their care to treat them with the utmost tendernees and consideration." The reader of this narrative can see that if such principles had been adopted in the case of Mr. Beers, he would not have become violently insane, would have been Spared terrible suffering, and his recovery from mental disease would have bcc» greatly hastened. In the second halt of this book he gives an interest lag review of how much has beA done by himself and others to spread theae principles throughout the united States and Canada during recent years. Under the auspices of th* international Committee for Mentil Hygiene great things have already been done on behalf pf the insane and the feeble-minded.

to crowd in upon hla hrwin This experience of Mr. Beers throws a new light for me upon a letter which Charles Lamb sent to Coleridge on June 10. 1796 Lamb had been confined in a lunatic asylum for a time and he wrote to his friend. "1 look back upon it at times writh a gloomy kind of envy; for, while It lasted. I had many, many hours of pure happiness. Dream not, Coleridge, of having tasted all the grandeur an«l wildness of Fancy till you have gone mad! AH now seems to me vapid, comparatively so!"HE BECOMES A PROLIFIC WRITER

The pulp mill is interesting in itself end aAo as indicating the prolmble destiny of s large part at least of.our West Coast timber Hemlock and spruce, which (especially the former) are the predominant trees, with c*»dar, are eminently suitable for the

Ppulp industry. The fibre produced is of suitable length, strength and pur-J tty, and Is procurable from thé raw material with a minimum of waste. The process from raw log to paper la an intensely Interesting one, which 1 had the pleasure of following under the capable guidance n£ Mr. Grant, the company's chemist. The sawing, barking and grinding of the logs, the digesting of the chips in the great tanks, the washing and bleaching of the pulp, the conversion of the wet confused § mess of* fibre into paper ready for the I market: all Is deeply suggestive A visit to such a factory Is a splendid lesson In the value of the contribution made to Industry by brains, and of the importance of experimental research both in the main highways of production and In the nlderoads of by product utilisation and economy of method. The timber generally Is not of any great sise, not indeed as large as one would have expected In so moist a climate. Here and there, however. I saw stumps of btfge ee4*r# cut many years ago, with diameters of eight, ten and twelve feet. A hemlock stump above the townsite I measured, partly because of its peculiarity of growth. The number of rings of seasonal growth was 92b. but on one side these occupied a space of thirty-six inches, on the other they were compressed into twelve. The tree which, even allowing for seasonal peculiarities, very occasional as they must be. must have been at least 300 years old, had an actual diameter at the stump level of four feet, whereas if the growth had

Woodrow Wilson’s Place In History Will Be Determined

When World Has Proper Perspective of the

Great War xyv

Exercised Greater Influence on World Affairs Than Any Map Who Was President of the United States Before Him; His Eight Years of Power Were

■ Years of General World Upheaval and Turmoil; His Was the Heavy Responsibility of .Leading the United States Into the World’s Most Stupendous Conflict

Coming-Out Perty To-day

Twenty-eighth President of the United States, and*the first Democrat since Jackson to serve two successive terms, Woodrow Wilson, who was at death’s door this morning, occupied the presidency during eight years'of such world upheaval and turmoil that his proper place in history cannot" be assigned to him until his contemporaries are likewise assigned to their niches." - ;

Certainly he ranks as one of the great war Presidents of the American republic, and he exercised such an influence in world affairs as never before attached to his office.

Empires crumbled, thrones collapsed, the map of the world was made over, and under hi* administration the country abandoned its policy of Isolation and became an active participant In world affairs. In all that he took a powerful hand. No biographer could attempt to assess him accurately and In full until the processes which began In his day and with his participation haxa come to a conclusion.UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

An obscure lawyer, by nature a man of letters, he became àn educator and won his first attention from the public as President of Princeton University. Then by the strange ways of a political system he became Governor of New Jersey and later, because the voters of the Republican Party were divided between Theodore Roosevelt and William H: Taft, he became President of the United States.

During his eight years of power he traveled the gamut of human emotions—victory, defeat; courtship and marriage; responsibility for leading a nation into war, with the collateral responsibility of bringing it .back again to the ways of peace, ana finally a dally struggle With death. VOICES OF MILLIONS

He had heard himself hailed by the millions of Europe as the "god of peace” and heard bis name hissed by the same- millions. Acclaimed at ~TStBTSSSras“ a’êW* WSSlmhr he heard himself excoriated and denounced as an autocrat and worse at home and abroad. No other President since Uhcolfi Whs so worshipped and hated. Np other President since Roosevelt had such friends and such enemies. Through it all he preserved an outward calm while the Grim Destroyer. which hovered close about him during the last months of hie occupancy of the presidency, followed him relentlessly to the modest home where he lived the ways of a retired gentleman and knocked at hla door every day until It was at last opened.

After having borne the burden* of a ear president he undertook the ta»k of making a peace -which he sincerely believed would be a lasting one. and although he succeeded In getting Europe to accept It in lar*'- measure, hla own country rejected It; and in the flght he broke hie health, wore himself out. suffered a stroke of paralysis.. which led to hts deathand declared through It all that he would have been happy to give tits life for the success of hla efforts. BROKE PRECEDENT*

Woodrow Wilson was a precedent •masher from beginning to end. lie began by reviving the practice of Washington and Jefferson In ne11'" ering his messages to Çoneress I” person; he Onlshed hy actually having Untied States sell and going to Europe.

When he tra» two years old the fortunes of his falher took the family to Augusta A. Georgia, and later to Columbia. S.C, where at the age of

seventeen Thoms! Woodrow Wilson entered Davidson College, but left there soon to go to Princeton. Aftergraduation at Princeton he studied law at the University of Virginia, and in 1882 hung out his shingle in Atlanta. Ga. Meantime he courted Ellen Louise Axson. the daughter of a Savannah Presbyterian clergyman. They Were married in HIS and had three daughters. Margaret, the eldest, who did not marry; Jessie, who became the wife of Francis Bowes Sayre, and Eleanor, who became the wife of William McAdoo. Secretary of the Treasury during her father's administration. and now a presidential aspirant.FEW CLIENTS

Mr. Wilson once said that as a young lawyer he wore out the rug In hla office walking around the desk waiting for clients, so he abandoned a legal career and went to Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore for a post graduate course in letters. While there he published his first book. "Congressional Government," a irtttdy in United States politics. It evoked offers of professorships at Bryn Mawr and Wesleyan and won recognition at home and abroad.

Successively. Mr. Wilson beoaipe professor of history and political economy at Bryn Mawr and at Wes iova n University and later professor

“Sr^1uTîsPWW»trer~~ and—pbHtfcaleconomy at Princeton, and su bee quentty he was made head of that Institution.PUBLISHED works

Meanwhile Professor ''Wilson had gained a high reputation as a writer Some of his works, with the date of their production, were as follows. "The State Elements of and Practical Politics." (18S8U IM- vlston and Reunion." < 1891). * Georg*Washington." <1IH). “A Hletory of the American People. (IHÎ). "Con stitutlonal Government tn the l nited States." t"When a Man Comes to Himself. flSlS).

The President was almost prostrated with hi* grief, and returned alone to the White House to face his burden. Mr, gWlIson* friend* always said that from the first Mr. Wilson saw It would be a world war and that the United States eventually would be drawn in. But he realised that the country drawing Its population from the states of Europe which were going to war would face a much divided sentiment and a very difficult situation. His first words to his countrymen were a caution to strict neutrality.

.Mr. Wilson's efforts were devoted to keeping his country- neutral until the submarine outrage* began. He was at first unable to believe that the atrocities had the sanction of the German Government, but wa* convinced when they sank the Lusitania.

over Europe at the same time? During that time the northern half of Europe was covered with snow and fee The southern part was not reached by the glacier, but It became colder than nowadays. It melted awav slowly.

There were at least three greet visits of glaciers before the one we have just spoken of. Each glacier spread over portions of Europe and North America. From where did the four glaciers come ? From the frigid north zone. What made them move? Too much enow! Let me try to give you anl idea of how it was.

Think of the last time you made 1 pancakes. You took a tablespoonful

of batter and 1ft It falLln the skillet. It fell rather slowly. What hap- IM»ned as more hatter fell? ' The pancake spread. That is the way it was with the glaciers. More and more enow kept falling in the north- land. As it fell it pressed on the snow beneath. That snow spread. Juat aa pancake hatter doe*: y

It Is even funnier at *he end of the week to see these wooden shoes all scrubbed white and hanging on a tree or bush to dry in the sun. My! How the women and girls of Holland love to scrub Minna and her mother scrub their house inside and out until it really whines.

One of the dearest members of their household is the good-natured old black and white cow Mrs. Bosay has h fine home and TteF STAtt is kept, beautifully clean. Why, there

are even dainty white ruffled curtains at -her windows above her neat straw bed. Just the same ns at the other windows of the house.

The children of Holland have great . fun in the SumiRçr. time They use

into (heir wooden shoes for' boats andsail them b " k and forth In lb» canals and ditches. Of course, every boy of Holland can swim and dive. Peter and Jan. .Minna'» brothers, are regular little fishes, so at home lif the water are they, and Minna |►addles Joyfully about in her father’s little i»oat all by herself. ,

But it Is' in the Winter time that the children of Holland have the most Bin. Just imagine a land where every .one skates—children and grown-ups. And you can well believe them are plenty of places to skate. Think of all the lakes.

dltehes. rivers and canals. These stretches of water make a ray sight in Winter There goes a round- cheeked, plum” grandmother with a basket on her arm. gaily skating her way to market; here cornea » grave, dignified banker, hurrying along on his silver skates as actively as a boy. h nd maybe Just behind him a darling little roly-poly baby skating more expertly than you ever Imagined so tiny a baby could walk.

And the children well, it is a good thing the Dutch fathers and mothers are thrifty and hard wqrklng and that they believe in teaching their children to work, otherwise I'm afraid that the boys and girls would spend most of their time on skates.

Dutch children have many holidays nmt festivals, but probably the Jolly time they love best comes in

the Winter season when the Ice carnivals or festivals are held. At these times the children and the grown-ups enjoy races on skates. Ice games and ice boating. î' Did you ever hear of an ice boat?

Well. In Holland It Is quite necessary to keep a sharp lookout for these boats and to keep out of their way. An ice boat glides over the Ice like •• great white winged bird. It Is usual!)' mounted on broad runners and carries large sails.

Then there are the push-chairs mounted on runners and lined with soft cushions. Minna's mother owns a push-chair and many times In the Winter Big Peter and little Jan. both on skates, take the good mother skipping along over the Ice for a Jolly ride In her push-efialr.

Tommy Ted’a father ia tall and strong, ami he knows almost Everything. His voice is deep, and his words so long, and oh. you should hear him wing! Tommy Ted listens in great delight to these strange and wonderful word*, and then, in Tangletown. some dark night., he s<?e* strange beasts and PifuA" » nd the queerest mountains and rivers and tree*, and things turned iniTde~out. and eats and cattle and bugs and bee*, that his father has talked about. It was only the other night. 1 think, he went slipping and sliding down through a drift of roses, straw- l>erriea and snow, till he reached that marvelous town. Outside the town was a great, wide plain, and as far as the hoy could see. were tables, and tables, and tables again, for breakfast, dinner and tea. There -weer library tables, and tables for cards, and tables fob typewriters, too. and tables for carrots and butters and lards. ar\d tables red. yellow, and hhie Tommy Ted lifted his little hand, in a wise and knowing way. and said. "I see. It's the Table Land that Daddv spoke of to-day.

Original Limerick Contest Commences

Mabel Townsend, a ten-year-old reader at Kingsley Street, Saanich, found an excellent line for the Jack Frost limerick. Here It is:

i >n a cold Winter room little NatClimber up‘to the window and sat ;

He saw a strange sight.For during the night

' The milk bottles had e-own a top hat!"Jack hadn't been having his nap."

was the line supplied by Ethel Parker, 88*» Cloverdale Avenue. CONTEST STARTING

vited the cuckoo to share their play lie needed no second bidding.

Soon the llttfc» white bird was the nerriest of the happy throng. Hi

laughed and sang as the play continued. Indeed he enjoyed himecll so much that he quite forgot the time Before he realized it dawn was breaking and the fairies left to go

ick to Fairyland.Happy after his holiday but »

little nervous at having abandoned Lis duty the little white bird hurried back over the hill and dale to * lie city. He retracted his flight over the tall chimneys. These were now pooling out volume* of smoke. Lights appeared in many houses, and life was astir for the new day.

Arriving at his home the cuckoo found himself shut out; someone had closed the window by which he had left. This was a problem indeed ; but worse was to foliote. Frantically the bird made a tour of the place on the outside. Every window was shut. There was nothing else then but that he would have to get in by a chimney,-" the trouble was which chimney.

One led to the kitchen stove, and another to the furnace. A third dropped its way down to tho front room of the house, but noho would Dad him to the place where Ms

I clock was stationed. The ctickop eyed each chimney speculatively for « moment and then chose the ont which seemed to he cold. Down inIS he jumped, shutting his eyes.

Then followed an awful moment. He felt himself slither down amid « shower of soot. His wings and feet were scratched by the rough brick, nnd he was choking from the soot. With a hump that almost left him breathless the cuckoo landed on tue hearth of the front room.

He was no longer white. From head to foot he was coal black. He -hook his headland the soot got Into bis eves He stretched his wings, «nd it flew out like a cloud.

Quite bewildered the poor bird struggled from the hearth. He. had now to get back to hi* clock, but all the doors were * lowed. It was at this stage that Mr. Mouse peeped out from behind the walnscottlng

"I have a good mind to let you suffer.” said the mouse severely. Then he laughed; no one could resist the sight of the soot-covered bird for long , ^ .

To cut a long, story short the mouse repaid good for evil and led the frightened bird through hie corridors to the room where the clock was stationed. The rest was easy. The pendulum glowered angrily as • fall of soot fell down on it when the cuckoo took it* place.

•bet ready.' hissed the pendulum. “Gracious -what 1» the time

cried the cuckoo. "Make it ••ven. snapped the pendulum, anO^tns ^ cuckoo did . . Ki—«Svv.il limro the •oot-M*ek blrt trawled to the doorway of art ment. Seven time, ‘(«lied

Luvkiiv the mortals in the hoo*» were at breakfast and •o^ ROthlnj of the comedy. If you want to see that cuckôo turn black in the face with shame Just mention "mouse. Never again did .it mock the mouse, and it took no more holidays.

u’ontinued from page 1.)“Do you think li will change the

attitude of London to you?" the Premier was asked, in viPw of the crltY-

inm he encountered in.his 1920 tour, following the paxwage of leginlalkm which was alleged in Great Hrlfain

repudiate the condition* under which British capital was advanced for pastoral development.

Mr. Theodore replied that he did not think, in view of the fact that hi* mi*eion wa* entirely of à financial character, and he might have to conduit negotiations with somewhat nimilnr interest* again. He mentioned at this stage that he would also disrue* financial questions in New York, before sailing $n February 16 on board the liner Berei gkrla. ' ’• • .TASMANIAN SITUATION

The Premier wa* much interested In the latest development in connection with the appointment of a Governor of Tasmania. While it has beer)

iarden state which i* the first to secure an undertaking from the. t'o- loninl 1 Mffice that a LkuMBinl ernor of Australian asaoclâtlona will l>e chosen, rather than force an Imperial appointment on a reluctant state. Queensland took the initiative m this matter in 1920. Mr. Theodore referred to lii^ own n«*otl with lx»rd Millier, then «’«.lonial 8ec- retaify, recommending that an Aux- traita n siiuuld be chosen. However, the Government had sent out Sir Matthew Nathan and the situation rerftamed unchanged. ’There is a strong opinion,** hç pointed out, "In favor of Australian selections, but as yoii know our position in Australia is very different to that in Canada, i*n \ lew of the fact that wr are sovereign states. While the Canadian provinces ItH-ve- mr-Arrer-t communication with the Colonial Office. The wait ice in Australia is for the Chief Justices to act in the absence of the Governors? who are the direct representatives of the Colonial Office in the Australian capitals.

"We think the matter can l>e settled on the eventual basis submitted in 1920, of Australian Governor* being selected when the majority of the states agréa to that course. | At present such is not the case."* ORIENTAL PROBLEM

Mr. Theodore expressed interest In British Columbia'# Oriental problem, pointing out how Australia, in spite of pressure to develop Its tropical area with çlored labor, stood stead- tan—1n the pat h vif yc whG-e—Au»- tralia. The fear of aggression from the teeming millions of Asia along the great northern coast line had forced tjie careful consideration of the

It was regrettable, he said, how few visitor# from America went lA Queensland, but of late year» there... had been ap increasing number of tourists taking the et earner passage by the route inside the Great Barrier Reef, from Brisbane to Cairns, a route which had few If any equals la the world.THE- MAN- —.... :—.................- -

It is difficult to realize in a conversation with Mr Theodore, how at the on tlx UK*' Of forty, he is not only the leader .-f the moet powerful state Labor party in Australia, but already 'in connection with the abolition of the Legislative Council, and the financial relations of Queensland to British investors, has focussed the attention of all administrations throughout the Empire. Like so many of the leading Ioibor men in Australia, he is a native of South Australia, who was in political life in Queensland by the age of twenty-five and at thirty-one was State Treasurer and Minister of Public Weeks in the State Cabinet. In 1919 he succeeded to the Premiership and the last five yeaçs has been a most active figure in the politics of Australia. Queensland, as the foremost radical state in the Commonwealth, has al- yeady -give» 4» Aurtntli» a. . Lahor Prime Minister, and it is expected Mr. Theodore may later enter the Federal field. He finds at present quite sufficient opportunity in the

-state field, for Queensland ie making experiments in social ways whichare revolutionary* even in a democratic country like Australia.

Edmonton. Feb. 2—Tlie first week of the new session of the Legislature of Alberta ended with the debate on the Speech from the Throne still going strong and with the propect of It continuing until at le&at the middle of next week.

The Government was attacked again yesterday by C. R. Mitchell, Bow Valley, and by J. C. Bowen, Edmonton. while a counter attack on the former Liberal administration was launched by Hon. V. W. Smith, Minister of Railways.

"Has the Government decided to issue the writ for the by-election in Grouard ?" inquired J. R. Boyle at the afternoon session.

LORD CURZON, A RIDICULOUS FIGURE'

They certainly were not .clever, possessed perhaps two smen with ability above the average—Lord Cur- zun and Lord Cecil. Mr. Baldwin s capacity is still a very debatable proposition. Lord Curxon is that type of able man to whom experience never brings wisdom. In his vase, that Is due to morbid and somewhat puerile vanity, which disturbs his Judgment and makes him and the office he for the time being occupies, the object of ridicule. He possesses another defect fatal in a foreign secretary who has to confront a situation demanding a stout heart, a steady nerve and a resolute mind.

No minister outside those two men. ha» displayed any special talents. The rest are Just splinters that fill up interstices. It Is therefore not to be wondercd at that even the most anti-socialist papers admit that the new ministers are superior In ability to their predecessors in office

Will the mini*ten be equal to their tremendous responsibili ties? Much depends on them but more on events.

Will trade improve and will M. Poincare improve, or will France at the coming elections throw him and his policy overboard? At home will labor be loyal to its opportunities by refraining from strikes and by abandoning its resistance to dilution in building trades?

Success of this bold experiment in the Government will depend largely on the answer to these questions. More depends on the Prime Minister’s personality than on that of all his ministers put together. If he has the dearness of vision, the Judgment, the tact, the firmness and the drive to make the best of hie own ability and of those of his team, the ministry will succeed. I dare

untjer review, *nd a general movement toward galvanising the rank and flic into renewed enthusiasm is manifest. Many Conservatives urge that the party ought to lske a leaf out of the book of the Labor Party, which gives tho younger element plenty to Tdo. In Yorkshire within the lait week or so steps have been taken for the revival of the junior Unionist organisation. Another step under consideration is the eatahlish ment of a body, independent of the central caucus, to advise the party on questions of policy. Such a body presumably would keep its ear to the ground in places far removed from London.DANGER OF DIVISION

The Saturday Review expresses the opinion that unless Mr. Baldwin withdraws voluntarily and permanently, no other man can be established in the leadership without disrupt ing the party.

The London Spectator which, though Conservative, has always been noted for its free trade viewpoint, holds, however, that Mr. Baldwin ought to go. While he is leader he would evidently be ready to do again what he did in November, namely, risk everything on an economic punctilio of a rare and not very intelligible. if wholly honest kind.

The Conservative die-hards, says The Spectator, would not desert be- cauee they hava nowwhere else togo.

Want Immediate Operation of Hours of Fire Depart-

a» meats ActAldermen met * deputation of lh-

firemen yesterday afternoon to hear a statement why the restoration of wage* cut In 1923 should be made î- fectlve this year, a reduction of seven and h Mlf P*r cent. At that tbnc wune other day workers were also cut, but not men on monthly engagement. , ,

The Council also desired to learn why the firemen had pressed to bring Victoria under the operation of the Hottes of Ftre l>efi*rtmenta Act- which will entail the addition of nine more firemen.

After hearing représentatUo* ul the men for an hour, and also fire Chief Stewart, the subject was inferred to the estimates committee.

Alderman Jver asked why the Council was confronted with a seven per cent advance in wages, and a fourteen per cent, reduction in their work at the same time. Answer,* to that double query occupied the attention of the delegation, who put up a strong case both for restoration of wages, and the immediate operation of the new act. The double platoon regulation does not affect the city, being already in operation. It is now made mandatory, whereas formerly «L was by optional arrangement between the city and the men employed in the department. « , .

H transpired |n the discussion the department la now sixty-aix strong, six of whom are special men. operators. and other services, who do not attend fires. . . ,

A conciliation board which sat in 1922. it was stated, had given sa lt* finding that the time was not opportune for a reduction tn the salaries of the local firemen until other coast cities took similar action. No such action had yet been taken. COMPARISON OF WAGES

Lieut, W. J. Crawford, presented on behalf of the firemen a statement showing a schedule of fire depart- m. „t wages. Thi* indicated that Victoria salaries ranging from $100 to $422.76 compared with Vancouver $130 to $150. Calgary $120 to $140, Edmoyton $115 to $135. NvW mlmter $125 to $135. Tacoma $120 to $140. l’oint Grey $110 to $115. The firemen, he said, especially objected

The suggestion will have consideration by a special committee.EMPLOYMENT

To a letter from the director of the Provincial 1-abor Bureau, indicating that there were a number of unemployed Victoria men badly in need of work, and expressing the hope that the city would start whatever work it could at an early date, the committee decided to reply that It was absorbing a* much labor a» was possible. and would continue tp do so.•topft WORKS firemen, ne saiu, —:STREET WORKS» . . to have axcut when only the street
