MANLY RACE OF
 MEN NEEDED

Brighton. Eng, Aug. I6.--The eugenics section of the British medical conference yesterday discussed the possibility of breeding a race of human beings perfect in body and in moral and intellectual endowment.
 Sir James Barr said:
 What is wanted is race more or less immune from dis ease. There are now some splen- did races of modern savageS in the Balkans--men of whom any nation might be proud, although their methods could not always be approved. If Britain is to retain her vast possessions she must raise more manly breed. We want not only physique but moral and intellectual capacity"

CONDITIONS BAD
 AT WELLINGTON
Striking Miners Drive strike- Breakers Out Of Town--In-
 timidate Merchants.

Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 16.--The conditions in the coal fields at Wellington and Nanaimo, are worse than at any time since the present strike started. 400 Vic- toria militiamen, stationed at the Extension Mine with Maxim ma chine guns, have been able to protect the mine buildings,s but the conditions in the town of Ladysmith, are growing worse. The mob has driven the strike breakers out of town and have forced the storekeepers to give goods to the strikers and threat en, if credit to the miners is re- fused, the stores will be burned.
 Last night, the strikers in South Wellington, drove all the Chinese workers out of the works and the owners have asked for protection for theIr men, from the governor.
 The threatened strike of street car motOrmen and conductors in Vancouver, while the troops are north at the coal mines, has placed the governor in position where he will have to ask aid from the Dominion government, if he grants the protection de- sired.
