The finance com mittee is particularly anxious to obtain the final subscriptions to close the fund. The building itself, according- to the architect, Mr. J. A. Benzie, is In the Sbtnfield's Suraer Weights from 50c to $3 final stages, the structure being all finished and the roof in position.

In side, the work is about three-quarters completed, the plastering being aU done and the laying of the floors now In progress. In view of the situation existing between the United States and Austria, the American consul-general at Vancouver, Colonel West, was instructed yesterday to break off relations with local Austrians. This notification was sent by telegraph from the department of state at Washington. The official Instructions stated that the consul was to cease any activities on behalf of the Austro-Hungarlan government; and was to hold what relief fund there was pending the appointment of a consular official to take charge of Austrian affairs. For some time the United States consul has administered a fund for the relief of Austrians.

It was subscribed by Austrians all over the States and was used for the relief of those who were unable to get work, men who were Interned and needed some extra attention and for cases generally that were regarded as deserving by the consul. The Instructions to discontinue this work are apparently the result of the break between the United States and Austria. It is expected that the Swiss consul will be asked to take charge of Austrian affairs at Vancouver, but official notification of this may be delayed for a day or two. Stucco work on the outside of the Wm. Dick Ltd.

From now on, he believes, the Hun will be on the move and though there will still be lots of stiff fighting, it was not likely that the advance would soon be materially arrested.

The Vimy Ridge is like a great promontory jutting into comparatively level land, it is said. Its fortifications, while not comparable to those of Thiepval. which for months proved the stumbling-block of the allies, were inconceivably strong and every advantage of the placets natural location was taken by the Germans in the effort to make it impregnable. That they failed is shown by the Canadians' success, which also proves, incidentally, that probably no other place for miles beyond la ifkey to cause much delay to the advancing army. T.

The call of king and country has found such ready response from the leaders of Boy Scout troops In Canada that today there Is urgent need of more scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters In every province. The appeal is for men who are willing to play the game with the boys. Many a man who today knows -nothing of the technique of scouting will eventually, If possessed of the qualities of leadership, make a good scoutmaster. The scoutmaster may be twenty-one years old ci he may be sixty-one years old; he is the man who has some interest in boys, who nan squeeze out of a busy life an evening a week and an occasional half day or day for a hike; who has in his heart the lust of the trail and of the open sky, and who knows some of the things the scout is supposed to know and who has a thirst to know more of them. Scotits Against I'-BoaU.

Sir Hobert Baden-Powell writing In a recent Issue of "The Scout," points to the assistance Boy Scouts can and are giving to combat the German U-boat menace by growing their own vegetables. "I don't know which lot of scouts Is leading the way in the matter of potato growing," he writes, "but there is a splendid response to my suggestion that we can beat the German U-boat campaign by growing our own vegetables If we try. If the farmers can grow the corn, the Boy Scouts can grow a good lot of the vegetables that will be needed during the coming year.

The road from Arras to Lens steadily reaches higher altitude as It proceeds and on the east rises straight up to Vimy Ridge, Which dominates the whole country in that section.

The land rises gently from Arras to Vimy, although the general character of the neighborhood is not unlike the foothills of the Rocky mountains on the British Columbia side, except towards Carency, where the elevated parts ar distinguished by the presence of sharp-faced rocks similar to those to be seen on a seashore. That the Germans, having been forced from the Ridge, will have to fall back both to the north and south, is the opinion which prevails among many returned soldiers who have studied the situation closely. Up to the present, they, say, the British have been at a disadvantage by being on land lower than that occupied by the enemy on the Ridge, which ends on the east in a sharp escarpment.
