Maps issued by the department of

the statements reporting an enormous

adds that 1t is safe to say that "about

the greatest church organization in
the world, declares himself neutral
between the bclllgeronts, though, as
might be expected because OF the DIFF

the Italian government and the papal
authorities since 1870, and the fur
lher fact that the Austrian empire Is
regarded as the defender OF the
church" he shows aB unmistakable
leaning toward the Teutonlc allies
though not an offensive one.
II will be remembered that IN 1870,
King Victor Emmanuel marched into
Rome. selling the papal states over
which the pope, for many years. had
exercised temporal control. Since that
time no pope has passed outside the
walls OF the vatican, considering him
self a prisoner in the great palace,
though doubtless the government
would prefer that he come and go at
pleasure.
Also. while the power OF the pope
has waned in Italy, Spain, France,

Revelations concerning the manner
in which Spectators have seized, and
have been permitted to seize, public
lands in British Columbia are astound-
ing the people of the province and of
the whole dominion. With the recent
coming OF industrial and trade depres-
sion. and the consequent throwing out
of employment Of great numbers of
workers in the larger cities and towns
a movement toward the soil was
urged upon the idle and was quickly
responded to. It was the common
presumption that British Columbia
had public land enough for as many
such distributions as might be neces-
sary to meet the present necessity.
Only recently 1t had been reported Of
ficially that "the total amount Of land
surveyed and ready for the pre-emp-
tor, and the pre-emptor alone.

GERMAN DRIVE IN EAST ENDS
Advance Against Russia Drawing To
Close, Is 6eIief-Troops Go to
Other Fronts.

Petrograd, Oct. 9.-There is great
deal of evidence here to support the
theory Of the Berlin press that the
Germans are gradually bringing their
advance against Russia to a close and
are digging themselves in with the in
tention of utilizing some of their ar
mics on other fronts.
At present they are showing a de.
termination to advance on only one
sector of the battle line around
Dvinsk. For weeks an incessant bat
tie has ragged among the lakes and
swamps in that vicinity, without Civ
ing the Germans any material advan-
tage or improving their prospects of
attaining their immediate aim which is
to take Riga. The recent fighting in
this region has been emphatically on
the side of the Russians. A great Ger
man cavalry raid from the Lida-P olosk
railway was driven back.
