DISABLED WAR VETERANS. (Received 2 p.m.) VANCOUVER, November 29.

The Disabled Soldiers' Association officers repudiated the parade.
A GOD OR NOTHING. STANDARD IN MUSIC. LONDON, November 24. •'You must be a god or nothing in music to-day," said Lord Howard de Walden at a dinner in aid of the Musicians' Benevolent Fund last evening. "The standard of achievement, unforfortunately, is so high to-day that a 'heavenly' performer of our grandfathers' day would be considered as only ordinary now," continued the speaker. "It is almost dangerous to enter the profession. We should constitute a 'dissuading' branch to induce people with pretty little talents to undertake plain sewing and needlework, because it is fatal for them to sacrifice their lives in order to make music their profession. "There is no possibility of finding work for musicians displaced by mechanical processes."
