Last year the cost was

DR. HERRIDGE WILL
VISIT PRINCE RUPERT

Dr. W. T. Herridge, of To-
ronte, moderator of the Presby-
terian General Assembly, will
visit Prince Rupert on or about
March 5. Dr. Herridge is one of
the leading pulpit orators of
Canada and beside that has a big
grasp of world events. He will
address a meeting in the Presby-
terian Hall. Tt would sol be quite
fitting to have him address the
Canadian Club.

THE LONGER THE
FIGHT THE HARDER
WILL BE THE TERMS

New York, Feb. 22,—-The New
York Times says in regard to the
German war zone order and the
replies:

“If the German people have not
enough to eat, or face the near
and certain prospect of not hav-
ing enough, it is evidently time
to renew the suggestion that they
should ask what they are fighting
for. Certainly not for victory; if
there is already a shortage of
food, victory is not to be hoped
for. They cannot be fighting for
better terms of peace—the longer
the fighting is kept up the harder
the terms. If they are fighting
only because their Emperor and
his military advisers tell them to
fight, is it not time for them to
inquire whether they should
not have a voice in a matter so
gravely affecting themselves? To
their ruling class the prolonga-
tion of the war means only the
postponing of an inevitable hu-
miliation; to multitudes of the
German people it means death
and life-long sorrow.”

“RUNAWAY JUNE”

 

At the Westholme Opera House
Tonight.

It is certainly a dificult mat-
ter to follow one unqualified suc-
cess with another equally great.
This proposition confronted the
Westholme management at the
close of “The Million Dollar Mys-
tery,” which without doubt is the
most popular moving picture

story ever shown in this city. The
question has been successfully
solved, however, by the booking

of “Runaway June,” a thirty-reel
serial story in fifteen episodes by
George Randolph Chester, the
cleverest story writer of today.
“Our Mutual Girl,” Norma Phil-
lips, plays the leading role of
“June.” An interesting and high-
ly mysterious character in this
story is “the man with the Van-
dyke beard,” who figures promi-
nently throughout, and whose
identity remains a profound mys-
tery until the end of the story.
