Gold Aid for Yukon.
Dawson News. )

(Dawson News)
 Action taken last evening by number of the representative gold mining operators and others heav fly interested in Yukon affairs in recommending that the Dominion government grant some speedy and spe Canada is timely. The recommendation is not ap- picable to Yukon alone. Every hardrock and placer gold producing enterprise in the Dominion is threat ened with suspension. The country is not facing a theory but a condition. The same conditions apply in the United States as here. When costs of produc tion exceed the yield, production stops The govern ment fnanciers see this, and have agreed something must be done to continued production. The only adequate relief seems to be bonus on the pro duction.
 It must not be considered here that this view is merely local, or that the remedy which is needed America and Canada, and in fact throughout the Al lied world. Recommendations being submitted to the federal of the Allied nations from Pracucaliy every producing center. Britlshers Tn London heavily interested in gold mining drew the imperial governments attention to the situation eral months ago. Since then men interested in gold mining the world have taken up the matter. The American secretary of the treasury has far to endorse the movement for relief for the indus try, and the American prorites board has declared gold mining an essential war industry, and has adopted resolutions saying: "The powers of the board will be exercised to accord such in dustry a preferential treatment in the supply not only of tools, equipment and machinery but also Tn transportation service fuel supply and labor sup ply
 Legislative relief also is expected to be extended soon by the American Congress- Deferred cassf- cation is being extended by the American government to men engaged in essential war industries nclud- ing mining, and such men of draft age, proper represen tation to their government being all lowed to continue mining
 The Canadian government and the American gov ernment acting along similar lines many matters such these, and likely win to some what similar conclusions regarding relief to the gold mining industry.
 Yukon in going record in the matter has taken the only wise course, and Gold Commissioner George P. Mackenzie, in going to Ottawa, will have specific support in presenting this phase of Y- kon affairs to the government.

THERE IS A REASON.

There is doubt but that the Kaiser wants peace and it quickly. He has more at stake than boundary locations and indemnities now. No knows better than he that if he does not get peace before his meets the great, overwhelming annihilating defeat that he knows is certainly in store for it his crown and the Hohenzoern dynasty in danger. The Kaiser has the signs of the summer, and he knows that his army cannot stand up much longer against the spirit and numbers of the Allies. He ultimate defeat and he knows that the people who have been promised so much of greatness and expansion for their country the men and who often have been promised victory will demand reckoning if the great army they have put in the field and supplied for long Q time at so great sacrifice shall be destroyed in battle He knows that his is very likely to be among the penalties demanded in the reckoning. Therefore, he wants to get peace and get it quickly. The Kaiser knows that world dominion is not for the Hohenzollerns He is beginning think that the old Germany and the old throne is better than no kngly job.
 There is mighty good why the Kaiser should want peace

IMMIGRATION AT LOW EBB.

bulletin from the Bureau of Immigration shows that arrivals of immigrants the year which ended June 30 were less than in any year. one, since 1S44. In 1862 there 72000 arrivals and in 1918 the total was 110 900, but that small figure does not tell the story. Aliens departing from the United States last numbered about 94 OOO leav- ing 16,000 the net total
 Immigration has all but disappeared, and that Tn year when the call for labor is greater than ever before. Since newly arrved immigrants remain to large extent in the city, the falling in mm- grafton, besides ntensifying the demand for labor has added to the pull of the cities country.
 The census will show that the falling of in i'm migration has slackened the growth of the country as a whole, but it is likely also to show that the cities gained somewhat while the rural districts fell off more decidedly than at the time of the last census.

The Language of Our Friends.
(New York World.)

One of the most interesting results of the war educationally will be greater interest in Great Britain and America in the study of the French language, and, reciprocay. in France in the study of English. Many American newspapers have been giving easy lessons in French pharses such Amer ica soldiers may need and several Paris papers performing like service for French readers. The Matn and CEuvre are printing lessons in English for French people who would like to talk with Eng fish and American soldiers. The simpler rules in English grammar are sometimes printed the top of the first page of French newspapers in Paris two great classes in English, named the King George and the President Wilson, have been formed. The French Government is not leaving instruction in English wholly to private inatve It proposes to offer facilities to troops of the Allied armies to learn French.

OF IN per cent. cash dividend. This

ter than we had been figuring on. but It
seemed to be the unanimous opinion that
the oompany's earnings fully warranted
this rate.
action on the stock dividend was de-
ferred until two weeks from date. as
many Of the directors felt that a fuller
discussion would help them to come to
a sound conclusion on this most impor-
tant matter. There was no disagree

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Stocks closed weak with trading active
in the market yesterday on the Console
dated Exchange. Prices went down
quickly, with stocks freely supplied on
every fractional recession. Earlier sub
stantial gains were wiped out and stocks
in general made new low levels. Final
quotations were about the low for the
day. There was no attempt to support
the market in the downward rush and
prices responded readily to the selling
movement. Failure Of Steel common
to respond to the increased tonnage re-
port had a displrlting effect on the list,
and when the selling movement started
there was little II any resistance. Minor
steel shares closed with about point
losses. Equipment shares were lower
and the copper stocks sold fairly steady
with fractional declines. Tobacco stocks
sold off sharply in the ANAL hour, Suma-
ira netting a loss OF about points. The
railroad stocks were affected by the SELL
ing movement and closed with frac-
tional losses. Trading in Liberty Loan
bonds was active.
