Kaiser Losing His Grip.
From Current Opinion.

William II definitely Joined the party of peace within his
commons las month. There WAS n rlmOr to tins effect in the LEADING
Italian dalics fully six weeks ago. Now, rcenforced by the assertions
OF well informed correspondents at The Hague. the news that his
majesty. despite his bellcose attitude officially. is for as speedy am end
OF the war is will save the imperial face, may be accepted. the Milan
Avanti feels sure. as fact.
The Giornale d Italia, of Rome. always careful in it's differences
considers the wish of Emperor William to end the IA a proof that he
seeks restoration OF his political influence. For three months. at least
hs majesty has been a cipher within the empire and next to a cipher
IN the Kingdom OF Prussia. There have been two crown councils
within a month, at each of which the insignificance of William IT. fol-
lowing the Italian press reports, was painfully obvious.
1T is true. say the italian daily last named, that the emperor
health is declining. He has been implored to stop his trumpet blasts of
inspiration to the forces. He is so cncrvated that he has left to the
crown prince the task Of reconcilng the differences of opinion in the
genera staff ON the subject of the famous offensive. The fact that
the offensive fills the columns of papers like the kreuz Zeitung. of
Berlin, shows that the crown prince is still a factor in military
councils.
The crown prince is more bent than ever on a rush to Paris. the
Italian organs believe. He has been behind the latest activities in the
west. he contemplates still that last desperate stand, the Giornale
says, which has been talked of for the last three months as the one
way left to drag the imperial chariot out of the mire.'' How and
when the offensive is to take place, or whether it is to take place at
all, is the problem of the hour.

Whales Near determination.
From the Vancouver SIM

IRWIN lIe v stHttINcl sun.
Unless whales are protected by inter-
national game laws, properly enforced, the
time is not remote when these magnificent
will soon be as scarce in tn.
sea as the buffalo on land. No one knows
this better than the whaling companie
of course. who nave millions of dollar,
invested in plants which could probably
be used as fish reduction plants in case
OF the exhaustion of the whaling grounds
below IA paying yield.
1T is said by some that when q ground ;s
abandoned on account of exhaustion tha
whale will breed back. But modern steam
whaling Is so annihilating that II will mot
leave enough whales to breed back. Tn.
determination of the mammoths of the sea
would be a lamentablc loss to mankind
not only owing to their great commercial
value. but because they are among the
noblest of creatures.
steam whaling and the business of con.
verting every part Of the whale into com
mercial products is one Of the profitahle
Industries OF British Columbia. 1t would
be reasonable to suppose III the whalinr
companies would be in favor of %prolonpinc
their profitable business by the consar.
walton of the whales.
This conservation would have to he ON.
of the larger movements of the kind
which v international scope. like tha
sealing laws, and the proposed agreement
between the United State and Canada to
conserve the halibut by a closed season.
