1 VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 24.—Offi
^ icial survey of Che activities of the
returned service men who have taken
up homesteads in British Columbia
iluring the past year, has caused pro
vincial officials to predict that the
, various soldier colonies established in
1916 will be merged into one great
colony. „ directed by soldiers who
*
fought in the great wrar.
Success of British Columbia’s sol
dier's colonies% has attracted atten
tion throughout the British Empire.
The only serious problem which has
arisen in the province is the heavy
influx of returned soldiers from other
provinces. It has been estimated that
■several thousand returned veterans,
whe enlisted in other parts of the
Dominion, are seeking to become res
idents of British Columbia.
Records of the Soldier Settlement
Board show that more than 5,000 sol
diers have decided to take up land
and that 2,500 are actually on home
steads. Various soldier settlements
have sprung up, the leading ones be
ing at Camp Merville, on Vancouver
Island and Camp Lister, near Cres
ton. About 10,000 acres near Prince
George also is to be colonized.
f In the soldier Colonies no one but
service men and their famlies re
side. All of the officers, even rep
resentatives in the provincial parlia
ment are men who fought. Some
weeks ago German and Austrian col
onists made vigourous efforts to set
tle in a fruit region, adjacent to one
of the smaller colonies. They were
“informally deported” despite their
protests. The government did not
take any action, as the “deportation”
while rather vigorous was bloodless.

IF NOT, THEN WHY NOT?
Are you one of those who blame

the church is not doing its duty? Then
why not get into the church and do
your part? The church needs men
with ideas to carry it forward. Many
