HIGH COST OF LIVING
CAUSE OF UNREST IN
CITIES OF CANADA

, OTTAWA, Ont.-Despite govern
ment efforts to reduce prices, the
cost of living in Canada continues
to soar. The high prices were cited
as the cause of unrest in every dis
trict, according to investigators of
the recent strikes throughout the
Dominion.
Government officials stated that
the high cost of necessities was re-
sponsible for the dissatisfaction of
thousands of conservative working
men. They also asserted that this
subject gave radicals an excuse for
trying out more ambitious schemes.
The average cost of 20 staple
foods in so cities in June was
s13.72, as compared with 1888 in
May, official statistics show. In
June, 1914, the average was $7.35.

FOLK DECLARES
ENGLAND WANTS
EGYPT TO KEEP

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 18.-
In a brief filed with the foreign
relations committee of the United
States senate, Joseph W. Folk, for
mer governor of Missouri, and at
present acting as counsel for the
Egyptian commission, charges that
England, under the guise of being
merely protectorate over Egypt,
has practically seized that country
and is holding it as a British pos
session.
Folk appeals to the United States
to come to the assistance of Egypt,
to prevent the carrying out of the
plans of the British government,
and to restore the country, at the
earliest opportunity, to a position of
safety among the smaller nations
of the world.
The charge is supported by state
ments of prominent Egyptians and
review of alleged steps taken by
England to hold Egypt in bondage.

NEW GOLD FIND
IS REPORTED ON
KAKO TRIBUTARY

Recent arrivals in Nenana from
the lower Yukon river bring the
report of a new discovery of placer
gold on Buster creek, a tributary of
the Kako river, which empties into
the Yukon on the right limit about
eight miles above Russian Mission.
Details of the strike, beyond the
fact that gold had been found on
five claims, were not obtainable by
the passengers who brought the re-
port to Nenana, but there appeared
to be no question about the dis
covery.
Kako creek, as it is shown on
the maps, is short stream, head
ing in the hills at the western end
of the Ilivit mountains. Directly
across country, to the west, is the
Marshall district, a comparatively
short distance overland, but a con-
siderable number of miles away by
the river route, probably Is to 100
miles down stream.
Kako creek is said to be naviga-
BILE to within a short distance of
the creek where the pay is reported
to have been found, offering an
easy means of transporting supplies
into the district. Buster creek is
a considerable distance up stream
from the mouth of Kako.

PREMIER SAYS
WAR TO PEACE
SLOW PROCESS

LONDON, Aug. 18.-In a state
ment made before the house of COM
mons today, Premier Lloyd George
informed the lawmakers that it
would take long time to restore
the country to a peace basis, fully
as long as it took to put England
on war footing. He said the work
of changing back to the ways Of
peace was being expedited in every
possible way by the government,
but that it would take considerable
time, in spite of the efforts being
made.
The cost of the war, continued
the premier, would reach forty bill
ion pounds, with the national debt
increasing steadily. 1t has grown,
he said from six hundred and forty
one million pounds to seventy-eight
hundred million.
The nation is confronted with
grave financial problems as well as
the other problems incident to a
return to a peace basis. .:.:

SENSE FROM TOKYO STATESMAN

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Viscount Kato, former minister for for
 egn affairs of the Japanese empire, now
 a member of the House of Peers, and
 not at all in touch with the Motono min
 stry, is nevertheless a broad minded
 statesman, and his five years in England
 taught him much. He is now openly
 and strongly advocating home rule in
 Korea and for Formosa. He is also de- claring that henceforth Japan should not l hold any colony flor profit only On both points Kato is accepting a
 world-trend that thinking observers what ever their sympathies, cannot deny Japan has not recognized that trend But equally it may be said that England has
 only partly recognized it. for though l Canada Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have got home rule India, Egypt and Ireland are only on the way to it, and even India cannot be said to 1 be so backward as Korea or Formosa. England, however, has everywhere taken ] up the white mans burden" and does not run colonies for profit alone. We nave our own korea In the Philippines, and those islands have as yet secured only limited home rule and a promise of | eventual independence.
 l Japan is moving forward. Indications are not lacking that she is much nearer to government of responsibility to par i liament than her textual constitution l would prove. Kato may be the prophet
 of new gospel of liberality to colonies. We hope he is.
