be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province Of Al
berta has been doubled in*three years.
The present mileage is 4.097. In all
/ Of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by q Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise Of their pow:
ers they not only control the rates.

and shipper, but form q court to hear

rresentative Of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students in attend

former friendship for the kaiser and
the public belief that he was pro-
German in sympathy. In response to
q question Thursday. Premier Asquith
denied that Lord Haldane was now
assisting in the administration Of the
war Office. Sir Edward Grey created
a sensation by coming to Lord Hal
danes defense.
AT the time OF Lord Haldane ;
resignation" ne told the commons, Il
myself expressed TO the premier a de-
sire also to resign / would have done
so had IL not been for the war crisis.

continued, that no opportunity has
arisen TO utilize his lOrdship's serv-
ices in the foreign Office. l consider
ed his retirement from the cabinet a

lord OF the admiralty was responsible
for sending an insufficient naval force
TO defend Antwerp.
Further severe criticisms of the
government and the military authori-
ties were heard in the house today.
Col. Arthur Lynch MP, leading the
attack, said
Lord Kitchener's blunders stand
out like the rocks of Gibfaltar in a
world Of blunderdOm.
The war is being conducted with
signal incompetence. Unless there is
a change the country is moving
straight TO disaster.
Seventy per cent OF the higher
British commanders ought TO be aboI-
ished - beginning with Sir John
