the highest rates of pay in these pro yinces since the establishment of the Dominion Department of Trade and Commerce. In 1910 farm hands received $57.40 in British Columbia; in 1916, $49.SG. Since 1914 there has been an average of 23 per cent. increase in the cost of labor on the farms Some owner of farms ill the spring of 1917 were reluctant to em- ploy help on the score than wages were so night as to add an important speculative element to farming opera tions. This has been regarded as strong point in favor of minimum prices for farm products.

Premier Ribot Gives Statement to Senate at Paris; Damages
 for War Wanted.

PARIS, June 7.-Announcing that France is in entire accord with every action of the United States, Premier Ribot declared at a spe- cial sitting of the Senate that there can be no peace without vic tory"
 'It is necessary to speak clearly, D the Premier asserted, 'and we are in accord with the United States. Alsace and Lorrain must be re- turned. No Frenchman dares say that there can be peace until that is accomplished. We do not want indemnities but reparation must come for damages.

NEW DELIVERY IS
 PLANNED BY EMPIRE
 FOR RURAL PARTS

new delivery route has been mapped out by the circulation depart mcnt of the Alaska Daily Empire and will be installed the first of next week. The route as now proposed calls for rural service each evening. The route will commence at the cor her of 18th and Wiloughby, cover ing every patron who lives along the Salmon Creek road. The route will mon Creek.
 Each evening, just shortly after Tae Empire has closed it's forms and has been placed on the big Du plex press, Claire Trough will leave The Empire building with his pa pers and distribute them to the var ious patrons who live outside of the present delivery zone. A bicycle will be used to effect a speedy and eff ficient service to the rural sub sCribers Those who are now get ting their papers through the city mails may make arrangements at the Empire office to have their pa. per deHYered on this route by the special carrier.
 The establishment of this route will mean a better service to the patrons of The Empire and increase it's value as an advertising medium
 Henceforth it will carry the mes. sage of the local merchant to the rural districts informing the sub scriber of the daily news in the com mercial world. The special carrier will make a preliminary survey of his route Friday and Saturday even, ing, making deliveries to those who are now getting their paper by oth- CT avenues. Commencing Monday night the service will be regular and it is hoped that weather conditions will permit it's maintenance through out the winter.

 This City.

One of the largest. best attended and arranged dancing parties ever given on Gastineau Channel was the ceremonial Shrine Ball last night at the A. B.

 Until a late hour the dancers en- joyed themselves to the full and when the steamer Spokane blew her half hour whistle at an early morn ing hour, many of those present ac- companied the visiting Shriners to their boat and bade them goodbye.

loss to the enemy, as one now rea-' izes, has exerted but transitory infqu- ence on the world situation
 "In order fully to appreciate the Teuton strength, it Is necessary to give the Germans the credit which isi their due. One must, I think, considt CT broadly their whole point of view and realize that the power of the cen-j tral empire, and no one at this tim( will question its strength, is due }tYN the German virtues and not to theS German vices.
 Now that the bitterness againsf, the Germans is so intense, it is }diffiA cult to wipe away the prejudices onet feels and give them the benefit of, the extraordinary values which theyI have as a people; but if we underes- innate these virtues, we fail to under stand the causes which have made 1t possible for the Germans to do what they have done.
 Much as I disapprove of the Ger man point of view and of the spirit which has been manifested by the Ger
 
 still remain of the opinion that, tak-I en from the internal point of viewd our enemies possess almost every virI( ture which makes for military strength. Tn the first place, no one who has, seen and talked with the Germa troops can question the sincerity o4 their belief in the righteousness of the German cause. I have talked with prisoners from the Baltic to the Buko- vina, and l have never yet met ono who did not believe implicitly in the statement of the Kaiser, made at the beginning of the war, to the effect that in the midst of perfect peace we have been treacherously surprised by ring of enemies jealous of our genius and intent on our destruction.'

NR WASHINGTON, June 26.-(Spe-
 WNW cial. al.)-Stanley Washburn, the

V war correspondent who is at the present time serving on the stan of the American commission to Russia, headed by Elihu Root, analyzes the at titude of mind of the German soldier and his idea of what he is fighting for, in communication to the National Geographical society, part Of whlch the society issues as the following bulletin of it's war geography series;
 "It is difficult for Americans to real ize the discipline and lack of ln- tellectual initiative which exists in the German army and among the German people.
 "Eyer since he became Emperor, Wilhelm has been instilling his ex- traordinary beliefs into his army and it's people, until today we have psychology in the Teuton empire which will probably make it possible for the military autocracy to continue the war to far greater length than would be conceivable In any other country in the world.
 Tn the early nineties the Kaiser sounded the keynote of his own char acter and point of view in a speech he made to a regiment in northern Ger many, when he said to them: l would rather see my 45,000,000 Prussians dead on the field of battle than see
 .oil to1r m 1ST0 QiV- en back to France
 And several years later, in address, ing a body of recruits in Potsdam, the Kaiser is reported to have said
 Now that you have donned my uni- form it must be your pleasure and your duty to follow my wishes, real izing that I rule Germany by the di- rect will of God, and you must willing ly obey my commands, even though require you to shoot down your own fathers and brothers in response to my dictates
 with such ideas as these being in- sttlled into the German army and Ger man people year by year, we must not believe that at the first sign of re- verse they will forget the teachings of 40 years and demand consummation of immediate peace; and we must like wise realize that revolution in Ger many at this time has far less op- portunity for success for there is ev- cry probability that the German sol diers would fire upon their own people with the same subservience to their officers that they1<show in all their | military operations.
 "While the military operations in the west are of vast importance to the situation and must unquestionably de- moralize the Germans to certain ex- l tent, see no reason to believe that recent events in France have created a condition from which we may ex- 1 pect any immediate results looking to- ! wards peace.
 "When we read that the French and English took 33,oO0 prisoners and 3s0 guns in the mouth of April, we must. 1 of course, rejoice; but we must at | the same time guard against an op- timism which leads to the belief that our only duty Tn thls war IS nnanciai
 and economic.
 "These losses of the Germans, while encoura ging, are in reality but drop l in the bucket. It might be well to re- member that Brusilloff. in a little over | two months operations on the south
 western front of Russia during the summer of 1916. took 45o,oo0 prisoners ! and 496 guns; and yet this far greater
