No Navy Increase. Winston Churchill recently made the statement in’ the British House of Parli- ament, that their would be no increase in the navy during the year 1914-15, as he saw nothing in the international situ- ation that would warrant any large ex- penditure in thisconnection. He did not think the proposed warship construction of Austria and Italy would require Great Britain to depart from her present pro- gramme. Mr. Churchill has still faith in Canada doing her part in the near future in the building up of the Navy and declared that the action of the Canadian Senate in throwing out the Navy Bill would only. accelerate the construction of three war- ships which would be ready in the last quarter of 1915. Turks Reenter Adrianople A telegraphic despatch early in the week from London contained the infor- mation that the war mixup inthe far Bast has not yet come to anend. The Turks have reentered Adrianople after a brief struggle, and the Roumanian troops were advancing in an easterly direction and threatened Hastern Rumelia. Peace negotiations seemed in a fair way to succeed and once more Turkey introduc- ed a newcomplication in the shape of her boundary question. It is believed in military circles, however, that Europe will not permit the decisions of the Lon- don conference to be thrust aside. Passes Resolution The Burnaby Board of Trade at a re- cent meeting took up the question of the |ownership of land by Asiatics and de- | cided to ask the government to prohibit this class of foreigners from owning land or else to put into effect a strict educa- tional test together with a clause requiring ber of years. buying of land by Asiatics has a tenden- cy to lower its value in any district. unication on the same meetings recently. : Vancouver Fatalities and around Vancoyuer during the latter part of Jast week. Nellie Whitworth, a little girl of 7 years, was drowned in False Creek, and a Chinaman named Ti Chung met the same fate while bathing in the same place. Fred Sibbald fell overboard froma sailing vessel on the Fraser river and sank before assistance reached him. Two Italians found watery graves while boating off Kitsilano Beach. To Fortify the Coast. According to arecentissue of the New Westminster News, that city and the mouth of the Fraser River are to be fortified with new forts, and all the forts already in existence on the coasts of the Dominion are to be strengthened. This is the vutcome of the tour of Col. Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia in company. with Sir Ian Hamilton on their recent trip across the continent. The minister has stated that appropriations for these improvements will be asked for at the next session of Parliament. Officers Arrested. The Krupp scandal in Germany is as- suming Serious proportions. Several offi- cers will be tried by court martial on July 29 for accepting bribes from the the Krupp company. The trial will be held in camera all those taking part be- ing sworn to secrecy. GRAND DUKE CIGAR FACTORY WILL BE MOVED 10 NANAIMO The Inconvenience of Shipping Facilities Given ae One of the Reasons for the Remoyal. Sidney will lose one of her foremost industries in the removal of the Grand Duke cigar factory to Nanaimo. The | cost of having the shipments transferred |in Victoria was found too heavy in those days of close competition. some of our most respected citizens go | Winch, proprietor of the factory; and Mr. C. Winch, manager Both of these }gentlemen have taken an active part in lwill be felt. Several of the employees lincluding Mr. Joe Kemper, Mr. Jack Kemperand Ted Keown, will also go with the factory to its new home. Jack Kemper will be particularly mis- sed in sporting circles, as hefwas playing manager of our baseballteam. A clean sport and a gentlemanly fellow at all will be sorry indeed at his removal. The Sealing Tadeo The sealing Commission now holding sessions, have received over 286 claims for consideration. The amount involved has reached over the three million and a half dollars, and it is quite likely that there are many more claims to be filed. The largest claim to come before the commission is that of the Victoria Seal- ing Co. amounting to $450,000 which practically embraces all the sealing claims in Victoria, after its formation. WHEN A WIAN REACHES THE LIMIT. A man is apt to go on for a great many years apparently perfectly satis- fied to keep his nose to the grindstone for the sake of the woman he loves. But the time inevitably comes when he feels himself defrauded and imposed upon. Some inkling seems to come to after a time that some other woman, perhaps less exquisitely “mod- ern” than the enchanting creature who consents to advertise his earning pow- ers, might haye helped him to a view of life that somehow, in the stress and cutthroat scheme of his business days, The day then usually comes When a man gives vent to his inner conviction as a man, that woman him more than fidelity, and that is usually a pretty hard day for the woman who is re- It is gen- when a him. he has missed. a OWes mere Sponsible for the thought. the of wife becomes in the eyes of her hus- erally day disillusion band an insatiable money-eater, though from foree of habit, or beeause he has Joe Kemper will also be missed from battle and it will be hard for the club to | fill his place with a man of Joe’s calibre.
