The writer feels and wishes to express a very deep sense of gratitude for the many words of appreciation with respect to the new Prince Edward.

Statistics plainly indicate that Charlotte- town theatre attendance is proportionately less than anywhere in Canada, and to stimulate greater patronage with the hope of partially conrecting this condition, we have provided what is practically a new theatre, and at lesser admission prices.

The Capitol will re-open Thursday after ‘ having received new acoustical treatment on < the walls and ceiling similar to that in the Prince Edward, which it is expected will place , the Capitol in as high a category with respect to 4 Sound reproduction as can be found in any 4 theatre. '

_ It is of interest to note that the new_ Prince Edward and Capitol will now provide for Charlottetown more seats than in another city near its size in the Maritime Provinces, and possibly all Canada. If the Strand seating i capacity is also included, Charlottetown is in a class all by itself.

Conforming with the Prince Edwards new policy, it will be noted that the Capitol prices

are also reduced, y gamer;

NORTH VANCOUVER. April 21 -In a tiny Squamish village here, urrounded by evidences of mod- zrnlty and the inventions of the ‘vi-lite man, a group of old men ire waging a fight against the aver-encroaching white man's ef- iciency-a fight that seems hope- ess. l

Spring once more has come, an he inhabitants of the village, un- icterred by desertion of their mung men to white men's ways, ire taking up once more the struggle to preserve the crafts of heir forefathers. Basket- ing, stem-carving and canoe building LIB going on apaoe.

The village, seemingly about to be smothere‘ by the screaming, smoking sawmills, is awakening to new life and vlgar under the rays of a warm sun. Fishing nets are trying. In the homes the squaws are weaving cunning ‘ ' m grass baskets. '

The young men glance disdain- lully at these evidences of the Hellman’: craft, their rightful hor- itage. They work in the mills, in the canneries and on the white man's fishing boats, and try to forget the ways of their forefath-

EDMONTON, April 23.—-(C.P.)-— Todayis depression chaser: Edmon- ton's colony of “cave-dwellers," where all men are equal. All have a smile and none bewuils his lot. Spring has come and the group of approximately 58 men who have survived a. bitter winter look forward to better times.

The "colonists" dwell in caves along the banks of the Saskatch- ewan river. ’I‘heir momm" are built of driftwood and discarded material. In most cases the cold earth serves as a floor. Many have lived in the cavcs for three years, leaving only for fleeting periods when an occa- sional job turns up. Always they le- turn "home" when employment ends.

The men are not 0n relief. They do not consider themselves objects of charity. Their life ils hard but, they say they are “better off than home.” Therein always summer to look forward to. Candles arc used sparingly. Water is carried from a single tap which serves the camp.

Twenty years ago Monday (April 22) began the Second Battle 01f Yprec. To Canadians this parti- cular act-ionic of supreme import- ance for a n ‘ of reasons. n. was the baptism of file ad the original 1st Canadian Division in the War, and that baptism of file was undergong in' a manner totally new in warfare and against an enemy which years before civilised nations had agreed to conclude. The uscorfooisongashad been out-- lawed by international convention, its projection into the War was an unexpected violation o! that argee- me-ut.

In the third week of Alprll, 191d, tho Canadian DLvision, arriving in the Ypres Sector from the neighbor- ‘hood of Armentiercs, had relieved French troops in the forward area. The 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade (General A. W. Currie) and the 8rd Canadian Infantry Brigade (General R. E. W. firmer. V. C.) divided the from line, each with two battalions forward, one in support and their fourth in reserve. The line extended for 2 1-2 miles. from Gmvenstafel on the ridllt to tho Yhrce-Poelca/ppelle Rood on tho left.
