TRAIL SHELTER TO TAKE
ORE AFTER FEBRUARY I
Only Quarter Of Lead VIII Be Paid
For-Each Mine to Ship
to the Smeltcr Usual
Average.

Ores will be taken by the Trail
smelter after February L. Each mine
will be permitted to ship the aver
age amount shipped by it during the
year prior to September 30.
Only % per cent of the lead will
be paid for by the company; the
remainder will be stored. An eff
fort will be made to get the banks
to advance money on the stored lead,
to enable the companies to proceed
with operation.
Silver in the ore will be settled for
on the basis of the pooling circular
issued by the smelter company No
vember 5 last.
These agreements by the smelter
will afford some relief to the min
ing situation in British Columbia. No
great relief will come, however, un-
til there is a better demand in Can
ada for lead. 1t is expected the
American army needs more shrapnel.

SOLDIERS CHANCE
IN THIS GREAT WAR

Fritz-fighting adds five years to
the average mans life and has it's
merits in several other ways, accord
ing to late Canadian statistics. Here
are some of the chances a man will
take if he goes to the front:
He has 29 chances of coming home
to one of being killed.
He has SO chances of recovering
from a wound to two of dying.
He has only one chance in 500 of
losing a limb.
He will live five years longer be-
cause of the physical training.
He will be freer from disease in
the army than in private life.
He has better medical care at the
front than at home.
Only 10 per cent of the men dis
abled for further military service have
been unfit to resume their former
occupations.
Fewer men have died of disease
than in any war in history.

November, according to figures issued

LITTLE DOING ON
MAIN BATTLE LINES
GERMANS SUFFER LOSSES-THE
FRENCH STOP ENEMY
-lTALlANS QUIET.
HAVE INTENSE COLD WEATHER
March Against Turks In PaIes-
tine.-British Hold Near
Cambria.

Aside from the bombardments and
reciprocal artillery duels, little is 60
ing on in the major theaters of the
war. On the French front the weather
is still cold, and this, with the snow
that covers the ground everywhere,
is impeding operations on a large
scale.
The Germans Saturday night es-
sayed an attack against the British
northeast of Ypres, where for the
last several days they had been lay
ing down a heavy preparatory artil-
lery fire. The attack, however, was
futile, for the British, ever on the
watch, raked the Germans with their
fire and repulsed them with consid-
cradle losses.
French Repuse Enemy.
Likewise, attempts by the Germans
to carry out raids on small French
posts near st. Quentin, Dozonvaux
and Vauquois resulted in failure, and
prisoners. There is still considerable
intermittent artillery activity along
the entire French front.
III tEe ltdlldn LnedIeT, Ine infantry
for the present is idle, but the big
guns continue to carry out mutual
bombardment against positions in the
hill region from the Asiago plteau
eastward to the Piave river. This
activity is particularly pronounced on
the Monte Tomba sector and near
the upper reaches of the Piave
river.

The British forces under General
Allenby continue their victorious
march against the Turks in Palestine
Considerable fresh progress has been
made north and northwest of Jeru

where the Turks offered stubborn re
sistance, but finally were overcome

There was very heavy fighting Sun
day south of Cambria The Germans
made a strong attack on a front Of
about two miles, according to Field
Marshal Haig's report from headquar
tiers. They succeeded in gaining {
foothold at two points, but later were
elected in part by British counter
attacks.

PAUL HENNIG ARRESTED
FOR REASONABLE ACTS
Paul Hennig, German, Foreman in
Brooklyn Factory, Said to Have
Mutilated horoscopes.

New York.-Paul Hennig, a natural
lied German, who has been employed
as a foreman in Brookly factory en-
gagged in the making of torpedoes for
the United States government, was
remanded to Jail without bail in fed
eral court Saturday charged with
treason.
Hennig, authorities say, superin
tended the assembling of the gyro-
scopes which control the course Of
the torpedoes. According to District
Attorney France, some of these gyro.
scopes have been found "maliciously
mutilated." This was done in such
way as to render useless the tor
pedoes in which the horoscopes were
installed.
mot only would these torpedoes
have been worthless as weapons, but
it is possible they would have proved
engines of destruction for their own
users" said the district attorney.
Hennig came to the United States
in 1908 and was naturalized in 1916.
Naval inspectors, it was stated, have
had him under close observation for
several weeks, imperfections in the
parts of the horoscopes which were
assembled in Hennig's department
having aroused suspicion.
The gyroscope, which has been
termed 1.-The brain of the torpedo,
is of such intricate construction, au.
thorities say, that a defect which
could be detected only by an expert
would divert the missile from its
course.

Army of Nurses Needed.

Estimates based on an army of l.

will be needed in the army nurse
corps. This means an enrolment of
nearly 1000 per cent over the pres
ent membership of $500. To get en-

Mortality of Our Soldiers Low

Figures compiled at the office of
Surgeon General show that with more
than 100000 soldiers in training in
this country, from September 81 to
December IA, there were only 1891
deaths from all causes, an average
rate of less than two per one thou
sand. The record shows that the
average strength of the army in the
United States during the period was
916,722 men. Among the 2O2, 0O9 reg
ulars there were 144 deaths; there
were 494 deaths in the 3S7,233 ma

made doubly sure that no injustice
is done.

The President and Aircraft.

If President Wilson does not want Con-
gressional investigation OF the aircraft situation at
the present time that settles it. There will not be
any.
1t must be taken for granted that there good
and sufficient reasons for the step the President
took in his letter to Senator Martin yesterday.
These reasons cannot be disclosed at the present
time Let it be sufficient to say that they reflect
no discredit upon those who have been in charge
of aircraft production in the United States Rather
do they reflect credit, because they show flexib-
ity of power in the face of unexpected demands
which hardly any other country in the world could
reveal.
AS matter Of fact, on the eve OF a
striking vindcation of the Liberty motor and a
vindication OF our whole policy OF quantity produc
ton OF aircraft. Therefore, il is not so much a
present muddle which the Senate proposes to delvc
into as muddle which belongs to the past.
The President lays stress upon the fact that he
is Commaudcr-n-chicf of the armed forces of the
nation and is solely responsible for the conduct of
the war. He is entirely right. Mistakes have been
made-that much is conceded by any friend OF the
adminstration-but the President is entitled to ask,
with Lloyd George, and that there be "end to all
this shipping
This is to say that the proposed inquiry has
not fundamentally honest basis. There many
charges and by others, and who believe that a
scandal will develop out of the investigation. Re-
cent Information to clear up much of the
alleged scandal There is every for deal
ing only with constructive things
