The word "provincial" had slipped in some way or other when the constitution had been adopted. He said there were chiefs from Que- bec and every province of Canada in the assgeiation, He, therefore, moved that the word "Dominion" be substituted for the word "'Provin- cial," where that occurrs in the con- stitution of the association. Chief Fowler, of Sudbury, oppos- ed the change, but the motion car- ried by a vote of 44 to 4.

"The word 'evacuation.' " says the correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, "is losing its terrors in the minds of the people, who are beginning to re- gard the idea of somewhat profract- ed mobility as a feasible military scheme." M The Daily Mail's Petrograd corres- pondent also telegraphs in an optim- istic vein. He says a new phase of the Russian operations is now be- ginning in which the Russians will have two useful Allies--namely, au- tumn mist and autumn mud. "Already," says the correspondent, "seven Teutonic armies in many places are floundering through marshy districts where there is a thick fog in the morning and even- ing and where the rains are turning| the roads into deep mud, Amid the| lakes and bogs where the operations must now take place the Germans will often be obliged to move in nar- rOW causeways under the concentrat-| ed fire of the Russian artillery, which | thus will be able to inflict terrible | losses at small cost.

Getting Along Smoothly. It is well understood in the busi- ness world - that a man's outward bearing has much to do with success or failure. A man otherwise ex-, cellently qualified may fall of a post because he has not learned the diffi- cult art of getting on with his fel- lows. He is quick to take offence, perhaps, or is inconsiderate in speech; offending othersi Surface courtesy is perhaps rightly distrust- ed; but gracious ways assumed. for mere selfish ends in time defeat those. very 'ends...
