EDMO*NTON, Oct. 11.—Shortly before midnight In the supremo court the jury brought in a verdict of guilty against John J. Bleiler, a German, on a charge of attempting to assist the enemy by selling htm an invention of an aerial torpedo. The jury added a rider that he was Influenced to do so by E. E. G, Hedenslrom, who was the Inventor of the torpedo, and tlie Jury therefore recommended him to thc clemency of the court.

During '• present week the board has been itructed to place additional con- jcts for munitions to tho value of [1,000,000. During July and August a good deal i difficulty was experienced in keep- ■Jf up the production due to shortage j steel and forgings. The board Is jased to state, however, that due to to efforts put forth by manufactur- a. the production on most contracts ] now increasing In volume each Mk. Tho quantity of shrapnel shells fw produced each week, complete fth cartridge cases, fuses, primers |d propellant charges, has reached most 260,000 a week, and the board Ls been authorized within the last pek to place additional orders for [is size of shells Into 1917. [Large orders were placed during last spring and summer on the larger sizes of shells, especially the Nos. 8 and 0.2. This Involved complete new Installation of machinery and equipment. Deliveries of this equipment are slow but many of those plants havo now commenced operating and the output of larger sized shellB is increasing each week and will continue to increase until about Jan. 1, when the maximum output of these plants should ba reached. The position of Canada in regard to the supply of steel, the basis of all munitions work, Is now such that no interruptions In output will likely take place, as thc Immense tonnage required for all classes of shells have been arranged. The fuse plant built by the board at Montreal has now reached a capacity of 10,000 a day and by Jan. 1 will reach 25,000 a day. The policy of tho board In placing new business will be to keep all plants now producing munitions fully employed, and when Increased production is required on any particular class of work to extend the operations of plants which aro already equipped and producing munitions. -ffilV OF AMERICAN LEGION START RIOT IN CALGARY , (By.

LONDON, Ocl. 11.—Speaking today In the commons of tho possibility of loans to allies and dominions exceeding tho budget estimate of £450.000.000 Premier Asquith said that- no part of the war expenditure was more important than this. Great Britain had ho selfish Interest in this matter and although the expenditures were growing beyond the estimate, he did not regret It. Surveying the progress of the war since the Inst vote of credit the premier said thnt hot weather had hampered operations In the many thea- .tres, hut that material progress had been made witli ralL and river communications, and the health of the troops had improved substantially. Canal Now Safe, The defeat of the Turks at the Kalla nsls, east of the Suez canal, had gone far to remove the danger of an attack on the canal and had Impaired Turkish prestige In Arabia, and Syria. In western Egypt senussl tribesmen had been reduced lo Impotence. The alii '.f armies on the Salonikl front had Inflicted heavy losses on their opponents nnd prevented .them from transferring- troops to Dobruja, thus rendering valuable assistance to Russia and Rumania. The whole of the German East Africa const had boon occupied tbe premier continued, and the complete conquest of the colony was only a matter of time. The premier gave high praise to Gen. Smuts and the Belgian troops which nre cooperating with him. Big Gain on Somme, Tn tho west, Mr. Asqulth said, the French and British had advanced a distance of seven mllcfj on a front of nine miles, but the most Important feature of the advance was that in no caso had a counter-attack succeeded in driving them back. The Germans had virtually abandoned the attack on Verdun nnd their losses hud been heavy. He gave the total number of prisoners taken by the allies on the Somme front as 60,-17-1, In addition to which thero had been captured 304 guns and 1030 machine guns. Allied aircraft, he added hns attained mas- -tery of the Germans. All Working Together. Premier Asquith referred to tho complete coordination of tho general staffs of the four great powers and to the sympathy and interest with which Grent Britain Is observing the courage, tenacity and strategy which is displayed by Italy and Russia in more distant fields. He spoke appreciatively of the part played by Servia and Belgium and lastly of Rumania, whose people and king, In defiance of a thau- sand calls of neutrality, joined our cause. "I wish I could add Greece with Its Imperishable record of resistance against the onrush of barbarism nnd tyranny," he continued. "Even now Greece, wisely guided and wisely governed, might take a worthy part on the side to, which it Is committed by great and glorious traditions." Carson Gives Views. Sir Fdward Carson commented briefly on thc premier's declaration. He said that the operations the premier had detailed demonstrated that Britain need have no fear for the valor, persistence and success of the new army which had been tried against the best German trained troops and found superior. Sir Edward said there was no use In concealing the fact that the task before the army was herculean. "Tho whole nation," he declared, "Is determined to gain a decisive victory. Tho question of more man power, espc- -clally from the reserve power of Ireland, must I)'1 raised and debated lie- fore long."

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Although there was no news today to indicate that the U-fi3 was still lurking In the Atlantic sea lanes, and while some shipping interests believed tt had headed for Heligoland, there was evidence that the British admiralty will proceed with caution in allowing British ships lo depart from Atlantic coast ports. Two British vessels due to sail today did not leave and It was said that others which have cleared, both French and Brltlsjlp will not «ail nt present. Shipping circles heard today that Admiral Montague Browning, in command of tho British fleet at Halifax, had Issued an order detaining the British merchant vessels now In American ports until such time as It. was deemed safe for them to depart. Verification of this report could not bo obtained at the British consulate, which Issues the final sailing orders, but It was admitted that such orders for tho Cunard freighters Pannonia and St. George, due to sail today, had been withheld.

I., Oct. 11.—In an effort to clear up the mystery concerning the llrltlsh steamer Kingstonian, which was reported both by the Nantucket shonls lightship and the crew of the torpedoed steamer Strathdene as having been destroyed Sunday, Capt. David P. Studley of the lightship was asked to forward to tlie naval authorities what Information he had In tbe matter. A radio message from him tonight said: "Report of sinking was received from Capt. Wilson and crew of the Strathdene, When they boarded this vessel. Claimed they saw Kingston- Inn attacked and crew taking to boats. Crew of Christian Knudsen boarded lightship after pulling for hours, after having been sunk 30 miles south of the lightship." Naval men were inclined to think this indicated that the reported loss of the Kingstonian was an error. Radio conditions Sunday were not of the best, they pointed out, and In the excitement "f the moment It would bine been easy for the Strathdene to have confused the Kingstonian with the Knudsen, a Norwegian tanker, owing to a similarity in their code signals. A thorough search by the destroyer flotilla ban failed to disclose any truce of tlie Klngstniiian's boats and no inquiry has been received here concerning the fate of Its men,— ■ Washington Wants Reports, WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The policy of the Fnlted States regarding the recent I'-boat raid off the New Kngland const will not be determined until much more complete information as In all the facts have been received, This was announced by Secretary of State Lansing tonight after his return from his conference on thc subjoct with President Wilson at Shadow Lawn, Although tbe secretary declined to elaborato on his statement, other officials Indicated that much would depend upon Rear Admiral Knight's forthcoming report on all, thc naval phases of the raid, particularly the Bteps to insure the safety of passengers.

After all, he said, this was a military, rather than a diplomatic affair. As a matter of fnct, Viscount Grey had antlclapted President Wilson's statement. There was a great difference between Intervention to secure an international com miss I on after the war to enforce peace and intervention at a moment like tlie present Intervention now would be a military triumph for Germany and military disaster for Great Britain and lie claimed the right as secretary of war to express his opinion on such a matter.

ENTIRE GREEK FLEET IS TAKEN OVER BY ENTENTE (Continued from Page One.) "While the form in which tlie pro- postls made is u nacceptable and the question of Bulgarian occupation of Greek soil is considered as purely a Greek matter in which thc entente is not concerned, nevertheless, should Grece voluntarily abandon neutrality, declare wnr on Bulgaria and decree a general mobilization, the entente would lie disposed to furnish every assistance in the campaign and give other material proofs of benevolent interest in the welfare of Greece. "It Is understood, however, tliat these diplomatic assurances already given the admiral of the allied fleets assure by means of all necessary measures the safety of the allied irmies in the east." Among entente diplomats this is believed to lie the limit of concessions which the allies are prepared to make facilitate the entry of Greece into tho war.

Tin- first line trenches here were 200 to 300 yards apart. The French with great rapidity dug approach trenches, zigzagging forward to where they joined up a trench known ns the "taking off parallel." From tills, running still farther out, saps were cut leading toward tiip German lines. These saps were occuuled hy listening sentinels and armored machine gun emplacements, From the bottom of the taking off parallel steps were cut in the earth which led to the level ground. Up these steps the companies chosen for the assault sprang on the signal, spread out in open formation and dashed forward in sections toward tlie German works, which had previously been almost haltered out of existence by the French guns. An artillery curtain of fire hnd been started hy the Germans to prevent the arrival of French reinforcement, but Its effect on the French troops was almoHt nil.

In sizing up from tho standpoint of the Empire he became emphatic on the subject of economy, declaring that It was thc bounden duty of tho Canadian government to do everything in Its power to reduce expenditures with out impairing national Integrity. Ho declined, ho said, to say anything on tho present occasion about the depart ment of militia, INTERNATIONAL ACTION IN LABOR PROBLEMS URGI LONDON, England—An Import) striking proposal has been made favor of international co-operat among governments with regard tbe future conditions of the worke The proposal is embodied by »f< peal Kent by the management co mittce of the Geenrnl Federation Trade Unions to tho prime mlnist The program enunciated, snys letter, alms at the resuscitation n effective direction of legislative forts to Improve standards of life i education in different countries i amongst different! peoples. Alret something has been attempted, initiative of which lies to tho ere of Britnin. Thc memorial addres to the plenipotentiaries of holy alliance in 1S18, is understood be the first clear expression of desire for international protection working class interests. Since that time many proposals international cooperation In efforts Improve soclnl conditions hnve b discussed. In 1881, nnd ngnln 18 the government of , Swltzerln brought proposals before Europe nations, and in 1890 roprcsentatlev 14 states met lu Berlin. This confi ence of diplomatists and statesm pat for 15 days and placed on rcco ii number of opinions. Nothing rea definite 'was achieved. The failure the diplomatist discouraged the Idei ists, but did not prevent their co tinned efforts, and in 1004 France n Italy signed what wns perhaps first labor treaty. This treaty provided amongst oth things, for: 1. Facilities for ho (ran fers of moneys deposited in savin banks. 2. Facilities for payment contributions and tho payment of be eflts from national pension funds. The Interstate operation of insuran in connection with employment, workmen's compensation. 4. The pi lection of minors employed In hulu try. Since tlie signing of this tren other international agreements lm been entered into, nnd today it canr lie said that in pressing for labor le lslatlon on an international basis preventatives of workmen are ndvo ing tlie adoption of new or altogetl] Impossible lines; they are rather as ing that existing arrangements in be extended to other subjects n areas. Thc management committee propc es that the prime minister of Gr Britain should bring before the cnbl et tho desirability of discussing wl the governments of allied powers possibility of agreements dealing Intc nationally with the labor of worn and children, of night work, wool*, rest days, the maximum length of work day and other matters; of 1 porta nee. .These are not pleas for classes, stunes the letter, but for states, allied nations nre soon to bo fac wilh grave recuperative problon They ought to secure tho willing, telilgent and educated cooperation all their peoples, nnd maintain the peoples In efficiency. The manag ment committee Is not unaware of difficulties which such a program w encounter, but It absolutely certt that thc sacrifices mnde by the peoi for whom It pleads demand the hlghi consideration and the best efforts those who are called to govern. Wha ever tho difficulties are, the task raising the standard of clvilizatl should be faced with courage and c termination. Tho management committee has cently conferred with representatl leaders of workmen from Belglui Franco nnd Italy, and In those com tries working class opinion Is strong ly In favor of ameliorative labor lcgM lotion on international lines, with ai reements Incorporated in treatii framed prior to or In connection wit the treaties that end In peace. It hoped that Russia and Portugal ma also be Induced to assist in framli a coirimon standard of well being, this Is done the allied powers will sc a great examplo not only to neutr but to enemy countries.

Q, Larson, rocelver for the Luoky Jim m.inc, for the treatment of 600 tons of Lucky J'm z'nc concentrates monthly at the electrolytic zinc plant at Trail. It is the first contract for customs ore made by the Consolidated. The terms are slightly better than, those of the last contract under which the Lucky Jim has been shipping zinc concentrates to American smelters, the Lucky Jim concentrate being an exceptionally favorable product from a smelting viewpoint. It is expected that the M. S. Davys zinc concentrator at .Kaslo will be In operation sometime this month. The magnetic separator has been working for some weeks with excellent results in the reduction of iron contents and it is the concentration seotion, with flotation process, which is now nearing completion. When this plant is in full operation as well as the Rosebory concentrator, where the Lucky Jim ore is now being treated, it is expected that the output will exceed the 600 tons a month for which the contract has been made with the Consolidated company. The contract is for one year., Four carloads of concentrates have boen shipped and^ tested, at the plant. Two others are being loaded, Just how the concentrates will run Is not known but it is under- stodd that they will not exceed 10 percent in iron and that they will run from 43 to 45 per cent in zinc.

Wall Street Market Is Still Suffering from Shock Caused by Submarine Activity. N1CW YORK. Oct. 11.—Extreme susceptibility "to liquidation and pressure today Indicated that the stock markot waa still suffering from the shock of tlie early week, when prices fell 5 to over 15 points em the nows of Gorman submarine operations. Gross declines today of 2 to 5 points were registered by many of tho more speculative issues, while representative shares yieldod from 1 to 2 points. Lowest quotations wero recorded In the final hour, that period witnessing tho heaviest selling of the session, Tnl tial dealings were mainly at higher levels, but this advantage was of brief duration, gains lu every Important in* stance being surrendered before noon. Under tho surface there were signs that public interest was again lacking, a condition ascribed to the natural disinclination of that element to tnkc on now commitments because of the possibility of some untoward Incident over tho coming holiday. The short interest evidently seized upon this situation as an opportunity to extend Its lines, concentrating its attacks as usual upon United States Stool, Reading and some of the prominent equipments and war issues. Operations as to tho decline were accompanied by the reports and rumors of a disquieting character, which were not without their influence. Mercantile Marines wore notably heavy, the preferred falling under the minimum of Monday. Republic, Lackawanna and Crucible Steel wero lower by 2 to over 4 points, with equal declines for leading equipments and motors. Various miscellaneous issues yieldod to the same extent on moderate pressure, hut rails wero relatively steady, extreme recessions rarely exceeding 1 to 2 points. Total sales aggregated 1,3711.5,000 shares. News bearing upon the markot, so far as it dealt with industrial and general financial conditions, was altogether favorable, including demand for Stool and copper at advancing prices. Bonds were irregular, total sales, par value, ?4,855,000. jumped a point on the idea that a new loan with conversion rights is nearer than expected. Consols declined. Business In other sections was confined to rubber and' shlpipng shares und some rails at steady prices. PRICES AT MONTREAL SAG TO LOWER LEVELS MONTREAL, Oct. ll.r-Somo selling of Brazilian', Which carried that siotik 2V6 points to 52%, a new low quotation for the Montreal exchange, and an early demand for Riordon Paper, -un» dor which that stock passed Its -former high level by a fraction, were among the few features of Interest in dull and sagging rrfhrket here today.1 ■ The early tone of the market wna firm, some leaders opening with market opened. Word was on hand that the first development of the new plan of complete government control of wheat imports for the l.'nitod Kingdom was the buying ot an immense stock in Australia—is,500,000 bushels. So far as could be learned, no purchases at all were mado in the United States, and instead of an expected quick increase of the number of vessels available for the transport of wheat from this country, current advices told only of arrangements for enlarging loadings in Australia. Selling on the declines of tho wheat market oppcared to bo overdone as a rallying tendency Was displayed at times during tho lust half of the session. Ono reason scorned to be that tho peace talk did not appear to have any substantial fresh basis, but. rested on recent statements from banking institutions that Germany was about to make overtures for a cessation of hostilities. For the most part oats merely reflected the weakness of other grains. Selling pressure was not of an aggressive character. Peaco talk was regarded as bullish by the provision trade. Higher prices on bogs tended further to lift the market.

During the past 12 months the Nel- fcon Red Cross- society prepared and •sent to the front and to military hospitals more'than 10,000 articles, such as socks, shirts, pajamas and other wearing and hospital apparel for soldiers. Shipments of this magnitude represent; an enormous amount of work, Which Is but a part of the activities oif the women who are giving their time and money with such generosity to the cause. Hundreds of letters from the front and from wounded men testify to the appreciation with which the results of the work are received by the soldiers. It is from these men that appreciation of the work comes with most force. It recompenses those who are making the sacrifices which the work involves. But appreciation of the efforts of the Red Cross members is not confined to the soldiers. Those who have to remain at home recognize that without it the entente allies could not hope to win the war. It is one of the factors essential to victory in the Struggle. ACCIDENT CONVEYS A LESSON TO PARENTS. The accident to little David McLeod, who lost a foot as a result of being run over by a streetcar yesterday, was one of those unfortunate affairs which It Is almost impossible to prevent. But it calls attention to the necessity for warning parents against allowing their children to engage In the hazardous amusement of playing on the streetcar tracks. It is not unusual to see children playfully run in front of cars, or climb on the steps or on the bars which run beneath the cars between the front and rear wheels. While yesterday's accident apparently was not due to either of these causes it emphasizes the danger in which children place themselves by playing around the cars. The accident teaches a lesson which may prevent fatalities If it is taken to heart. TURNING THE SWORD BACK TO THE PLOWSHARE. There aro two points that stand out prominently in thc statement of the imperial munitions, board made public at Ottawa yesterday. One Is that the fact that during the past week the -entente allies have placed additional munition orders for $60,000,000 in Canada Indicates that an early peace is not anticipated. The other Is the 1m mensity of thc munitions business that has boen built up in Canada and the effect Its withdrawal will have on the economic conditions of thc country unless adequate preparations are made during the war for promptly turning the war plant into a peace plant for the production of the hundreds of articles for which thc cessation of tho struggle will bring an immense demand. In two years thc imperial munitions board, und the shell commission which Was Its predecessor, has placed orders for more than half a billion dollars' worth ot munitions in Canada. Roughly this is equivalent to half of Canada's annual total import and export trade In the Immediate ante-war period. Most of thc concerns now turning out munitions can manufacture supplies of articles Canada will need after thc war If it is to win the position in world commerce to which It Is entitled. A SUBJECT THAT CALLS FOR A LARGE ATTENDANCE. \ The opera house should be crowded ito the doors tomorrow evening when an address on thc Canadian patriotic fund will be delivered by Sir Herbert B. Ames, secretary of the central executive committee. His speech will deal with what has been accomplished and what has to be carried out in the future in fulfilment of Canada's pledge to provide for the maintenance In comfort of the dependents of the men who volunteer to make the supreme sacrifice for the Empire and the cause of civilization. Canadians cannot do less than make such provision and it 1b to be expected that the people of Nelson will not be backward to show their appreciation of the importance of the work and that ,they will attend In large numbers the address by Sir Herbert Ames. The meeting Is not called for the purpose pf 'mining money at this time—there Attend the patriotic meeting tomorrow evening. Lloyd -George need fear no criticism from Trevelyan or any of the ilk. Great Britain is not looking for a neutral peace intermediary to provide a soft place on which to fall and will not have to do so. It is announced that the allies will make no new concessions to Greece. Under the circumstances it ls not necessary for them to do so. The time has arrived when it is for Greece to make the concessions. Germany has admitted casualties of 3,556,018. It is not surprising that the German people arc growing more uneasy. Only victory or a cause so good that It was not open to question could reconcile any people to such losses. With the British and French on the western front, the Italians in the Gorizia arena, the allies on thc Macedonia front and the Russians in Galicia all recording gains the war news this morning Is highly satisfactory from an entente point of view. Pacificists like Trevelyan are among the most ridiculous people on earth. They still hold to their theories when the life of their nation depends upon waging war until a complete victory has been attained. Trevelyan when he opposed naval and military prepare - tlon by Great Britain before the war was unwittingly working for Germany. ■Hie is still doing so nnd it is no tribute to his intelligence to soften the declaration by pointing out that he does not know any better. The weakest intellect usually learns something from experience. I WHAT THE PRES8 IS SAYING, 1 This Giddy Era.

It appears that a judge, even when he is earning extra pay by serving as a commissioner In a political investigation springing out of party warfare, can insult witnesses, use violent language, yell, pound the deck with bis fists, and behave generally in anything but a dignified manner, nnd if •anybody says he does these things and expresses the opinion that It ls not seemly so to do, this snnie judge has the right to send that person to lall and make him pay a fine of several hundred dollars. Somehow It doesn't seem fair.— 'Hamilton Herald. r-*-**--*M £ ONE BUG-BEAR ELIMINATED A famous college song ends with the reassuring words, "Cheer up, boys, there ain't no hell." It was probably to be expected as a consequence of that sophomorlc settlement of an ancient doubt that a serious attempt should be made to banish "damnation" from the prayer- book. If there "ain't no boll," why go on with any pretense of damning? Under these new 'conditions 'perhaps "condemn," as suggested for a substitute, will do quite as well as "damn." At any rate, it seems that we are making tilings easier for ourselves right along. Let Wesley and Edwards and Mather and Whltefleld squirm tn their graves; let "Billy" Sunday play ball In the pulpit; so long as there is to be nothing more serious than "condemning" to some place other than a hell, things ought to flow along smoothly. There are many references In tho Bible to damnation, but If modern readers of the Holy Writ think the word too harsh, all they need to do Is to change it to suit themselves. As our old friend Rabelais remarked: One inch of joy surmounts of a grief a span, Because to laugh is proper to the man. Which, In the shorter language of the street means, "It is to laugh."— Philadelphia Public Ledger. RED CROSS NOTE8.

A Vermont paper tells how Earl Taylor, a small boy of Watcrford, In thiit state, has added $100 to his savings bank account by selling a Hereford heifer, belonging to a registered stock, which he raised himself. That used to be quite the regular thing In Vermont—for a farmer's boy to have some good stock of his own, or a piece of ground which he carried on himself and from which he sold the produce. The custom explains a good deal of the resourcefulness and thrlft- tlness of the average Vermonter when he gets out In tho world. The old- fashioned Vermont paterfamilias recognized the value of educating his boys in gumption by presenting them at an early age with nn animal or getting thorn to farm on their own nc count a little piece of ground. In the days of sheep there Iho thing was comparatively easy. When a boy was, say seven years old, and was already quite a Little Man, his father presented him with a ewe lamb on this basis: Alt tho Increase from tho ewe was to belong to the boy In fee simple, out and out,' but the father took the wool in return for tlie cost of the keep of the boy's stock. The wool really paid the cpst of the keep and the increase was the boy's legitimate property. He wns supposed to take care of his own sheep—to look after the lambs and so on. By this means he became a good shepherd and his little flock increased from year to year. From time to time he sold a fat wether and obtained a bit of money for any expenditure ho liked, or to add to his savings bank account and If, when he had reached the mature age of 16. he wished to sell the entire flock and put the money into some other enterprise he was as free to do so as if he were of age. Tho boy's flock of sheep was In the old times thc foundation of real wealth, or of personal independence. Then there was the little pleco of garden or field ground. The boy took care of this himself and sold his produce. The piece of ground wns not so big but what tho boy could "run" It by getting up a little earlier in thc morn Ing or by taking half an hour after dinner while the hired men were rest ing, or by working in a little time here and thore. Commonly the boy raised some one crop on the piece and sold It out in the fall; onions were a good crop for the purpose; or it might be t fancy sort of potatoes, you may de pond upon it In the case of a boy with real enterprise this piece of land re reived intensive cultivation and the crop was a big one. It certainly did as much to make a farmer out of the boy as any instruction that he received in a regular course of thc farm business,—Boston Transcript. , ! RAYMOND ASQUITH. "The untimely death of Mr. Raymond Asqulth," said an eminent member of the English bar to a Daily News respresentatlve last night, "deprives the bar of a man who was at once a brilliant scholar and a brilliant lawyer. Of his attainments as a scholar a sufficient sign is tho remarkable series of honors and distinctions which be carried off in the University of Oxford, where he followed witli curious precision In the steps of his father. "At the bar he had already made his influence felt, and, apart from his general practice at the common law- bar, had won distinction at the parliamentary bar, and also before the judicial committee of tho privy council. There can he little doubt that if ho had lived lie would have had quite one of the most brilliant careers at the ICngtlsh bar. "If I wore asked to name his most distinctive quality, I think 1 should say that it was a remarkable conciseness, austerity, and lucidity of phrase, curiously reproducing what Is perhaps one of the most signal characteristics of the prime minister, Mr. Raymond Asi-uitli had a scholar's sense for the right word and the well, pruned phraaso. His considered per formunees had that quality of Inevlt- ableness in diction which is associated Willi the speeches of his Illustrious father, "He hod n pleasant taste for epigram, and many examples of his art in this kind are known far beyond the circles of undergraduates. Most people ore aware, for example, that It was he who.

Almost daily we hear of some new instance of the restoration of speech lost by shell shock. In discussing the subject a week ago the Observer gavo tho following list of strange cures which It hud noticed: 1—Grew excited over game of cards, 2.—Fell down stairs. 3.—Had a tooth pulled out nt the dentists—without anaesthetic, 4.—Choked through Inhaling cigarette smoke. 5.—Underwent a flashlight photograph. 6.—Put tho wrong end of a lighted cigarette into his mouth. And, strangely enough, In the same Issue or the paper was set out another cure occasioned by seeing tbe Sommo film. This morning we road of a speechless soldier who was tendered twopence change from a shilling after buying a twopenny article nnd at once hlurted out: "Here, I want tenpenco change not twopence," All the cures have in them some element of surprise —a shock Is the antidote to the consequences nf shock—-hut to the thrifty tho worst shock of nil would probably ho thut of receiving Insufficient change. We are gathering a long list of harmless remedies which It will he possible lo try In succession.—Westminster On/.el to. ♦ ♦MO «♦*♦ »»»■» ~ : MULES.

MM«»»MMMMMMMM Memories of another era of shipping are (writes a seafaring correspondent) revived by the astounding report from Mobile that the old clipper ship Avenger, which has been aground at Chandelour Island (Gulf of Mexico) for over a dozen years, hns now been salved and taken safetly Into port. It was in January, 1904, that the Avenger ran ashore in a very awkward position, and since then somewhere about a dozen attempts have been made to get her off. Salving contractors are a stubborn body of men, and hate to admit that a task Ik impossible. She is to be rebuilt at a cost of $75,000. Then no doubt she will be fixed to load at a good fat freight that will go a long way towards paying for tho cost of reconstruction and rerlgglng, Built of iron at Whitehaven in 1879, the Avenger for a long period of years was a well- known British-Australia clipper, running regularly in tlie wool trade between Australia and the Thames. She was always commanded by skippers of the old school, mon who knew how (o squeeze the last half knot out of her, and often it happened that she did her long passage between London and thc Antipodes in round about 90 days. When I knew the vessel some 2,'» years ago Captain Ferguson bad her. He died at sea, and I recall very well that, anticipating thnt fate, he had incorporated in his will a clause saying that they wore not to waste good new canvas In sewing him up but wore to use a piece of an old sail. The Avenger, like many another.old British ship, finally passed Into foreign ownership, and nt thc time of her stranding she flew the flag of Nor way.—Manchester Guardian.

On Feb. 29 ha had an interview with Gen. Botha, who assured him of his heartiest sympathy In his world-wide work. During his stay at tho Cape he found that there existed a general desire for more white population In the Union. But at present it was not possible to expect that the government would undertake to Inaugurate any immigration policy, and If anything wns done in the Union of South Africa it must be by privato effort. The conditions generally, says Sir Rider, were such as to rule out tho Union, at any rate at present,' as a place where the British working man or ex-private soldier, should seek a home, save in exceptional cases. On April 3 he arrived at Hobart, where be bad an Interview with the premier, and was subsequently invited to be present at a mooting of the war council, where he set out the views of tho institute. Next day the premier wrote him a letter, assuring him that he was convinced the Tasmanian government would be glad to provide land and organize the settlement of at least 300 British soldiers in orcharding and agricultural areas. Six days later Sir Rider arrived at Melbourne from Tasmania nnd was subsequently entertained at luncheon by the premier and members of tho Victorian ministry, where he made a speech which was well received. Thc premier intimated by letter that Victoria was prepared to extend to all United Kingdom ex-service men and their families the same advantages as regards land settlement or otherwise as were given to returned Australian soldiers. Tho premier of New South Wales Informed Sir Rider that the power of that state to respond to his proposal was limited by the fact that tho government had for months past been on- gaged upon an analogous scheme for the benefit of their returning soldiers. What thoy proposed In order to meet his purpose was to press more rapidly than was at first contemplated with the irrigation works at. Yanoo. This would enable them lo Increase tho number pf settlers there by probably at least 1000 in tho next two years, Und to that extent they would be prepared to gi\> preference to British subjects who bad been engaged In tho war, Further, they would treat time- expired Imperial soldiers in all matters of government employment as on tho same footing as their own returned men. On his visit to Perth, Sir Rider Haggard was informed by tbo premier that the Intention of the government of Western Australia also was to apply to tbe cx-servlce men of the United Kingdom the same conditions in regard to land settlement as would be applied to Australian returned soldiers unless offlciul funds were made available exclusively for thc bentfit of the latter.

Solon Watson, the well-known authority on the near east, repudiates the idea that the Magyars are fighting in a quarrel not of their making and for a cause which offers them no profit. This war. ho writes, is quite as much a Magyar war as It is a German war. The gross racial tyranny practised by tbo Magyars toward the non-Magyar majority of thc Hungarian population tary in the Austro-Hungarian foreign office) in provoking war is too notorious to be denied. What is less widely realized is the fact that the representatives of Austria-Hungary on the eve of 'war in Paris, Petrograd, Rome and Berlin were all Magyar noblemen, the last of thc four having been made a count for his services to German-Magyar-friendship, and that the Hungarian parliament enthusiastically indorsed tho declaration of war at a time when the authorities dared not convoke tho Austrian parliament, and still favors Its vigorous prosecution. Party politics apart, Karolyi is entirely at one with Tisza, Andrassy, Ap- ponyi, Rakovszky and the rest In upholding, the "Magyar state Idea" (a Magyar allam eszme.) Hungary has everything to lose by a German defeat. If we win, Germany, even In ruin will remain a great nation. But In hte case of Hungary our victory will mean the downfall of the corrupt Magyar oligarchy and of its racial hegemony, and tho liberation of Croat, Serb, Slovak and Rumanian from one of the most reactionary regimes in Europe. r* When Next You Are in Vancouver call on us.

ANCIENT MAYA HIEROGLYPHICS DECIPHERED Monument Discovered in the Past Year Which Dates Back to SO A.D. —Interview with Explorer KAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Sylvanus Gilswold Morley of Santa Fe, N. M., lias Just returned to this country from an exploring expedition in the Maya field of southern Mexico and northern Centra! America, us a representative of the Carnegie institution of Washington, D. C. The purpose of this trip wns to discover, copy and photograph Maya hieroglyphic texts, which are found inscribed on monuments, and on the lintels, cornices, tablets and stairways of the ancient Maya buildings. The Inscriptions,iiso' far ns they have been deciphered, show with considerable accuracy the respective dates of tho several monuments on which they are Inscribed. "The .Maya limgungei"spolien today by upward of 500,000 people living in the region formerly occupied by the Maya civilization," said'Mr. Morley, in an Interview, "presents the only instance of a native Americun linguistic stock holding at bay the encroachment if the language of the European conquerors. "The present expedition visited four localities In the Maya field: 1. The highlands of western Guatemala; 2. The ruined city of Copan In the republic of Honduras; 3. The ruined city of Tuluum, on thc eastern coast of the peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico; and 4. The newly discovered city of I'axuc- tun In the I'eten region of norehern Guatemala. "The most important find of tlie year wus the discovery of a monument at the last-named city fvliich is the oldest known monument In the Maya region. It dales from about 50 A. D. Some half dozen other dated monuments, several of which were also very early, were also found at this site. "At Tuluum tbe monument discovered by Dr. George Howe of the Harvard university expedition of 1811 was photogrupbey and copied, and bis reading of tlie date, 300 A. D.p verified. Extensive mural decorations Were copied here and a map of the central architectural complex was made. Several new inscriptions were recovered nt Copan, including some from the archaic period. "Our Investigations reveal the fact that the Maya were practical astronomers of considerable ability. Their Observations and calculations Indicate a familiarity with tlie movements of the heavenly bodies exceeding that of any other nation of antiquity, A con- sidernble amount of astronomical data is embodied In the Maya Inscriptions, and It seems only a question of time when tlie exact ages of Ihe different Maya monuments shall hnve been determined with a greater degree of nr- curucy than the ages of Nippur, Babylon, Thebes, Memphis, Athens or Rome,' DR.

Ocl. 11.—The Doston ij;mei*icuiis'drew one notch nearer the world's championship here this afternoon when they defeated the Brooklyn iffiftlaiiuls, ti to :>. in tin- fourth game oj tin- series..which now stands 3 lo 1 ihfa\orof the Red Hox. Tomorrow the cVmfilct will Le renewed at 1 troves' field. Uoston. where the fifth and what ttye Iteil Sox hope will he thc deciding game, will be played before what may he a record crowd. Columbus day is a" Jegal holiday in Massachusetts and thq Indications point lo an enormous Attendance,' -sjj^Ylth today's contest at lObbett's Hold the players censed to participate Em the financial returns and the Huston men with their two games lead are eager to close the season and receive their reward. Brooklyn, however, refuses to be counted out of the struggle nnd Is determined to win If possible, ami force, tlie Red Sox to return to lirooklyn, where the home team can make a last desperate stand. Score Two in First. The manlier in which tlie Hustons tore into tin- Brooklyn team here tills afternoon left no doubt as to their Intention of ending the series us quickly as possible. Pitcher "Dutch" Leonard WUn reached by tlie Nationals for two runs in the opening inning, but his to^jnmates more than made up the handicap In the second session an,d once tH I la- lend refused to permit the Superbus to-^evertiike them. Their ear nestness in the matter Is shown by the fac.t that .today was the first time since the, initial game against the Phll- ndelphia Nationals in the series of 101.". that the Red Sox have won from their rivals by a margin or more than one run. Tito contest, nit hough featured by Several sensational plays; did not rise much above tbe average of a regular season game, once bpoburd swung into form the 1 lodgers found it impossible to push a runner around to the plate because of the steady twirling of tbe clever box man, who wns-finely supqrted both on the offensive and defensive by lifs teammates. Long, slashing hits ripped off the bats of the Red Sox to be charged against tlie account uf Brooklyn's pitchers, while splendid catches, stops and throws made the way ensy for Leonard. Hopes Are Dashed. The Brooklyn club gave its supporters great hopes of repeating tlie victory of yesterday when two runs were put over In this inning* on Johnston's triple, Myers' single, n base on halls and an error by .Iniivrln, who, In bis eagerness to get Myers at the plate fumbled Cut Shaw's grounder. Murtpiard, Robinson's selection for a second try ngulnst tho Bostnns, staved off the Red Sox In the initial Inning, bat Gardner took much of tbe mystery out of his delivery when he hammered out a home run, his second in two days, with two on in the succeeding session. .Marqiiard walked llobiilzel. the first man up. und Lewis advanced him to third with a double to the right field wail. Gardner then clean ed .up with bis homer, a drive to deep centre. The Red Sox added another run In tbe fourth when Lewis singled, went to -second on Gardner's sacrifice nnd scored on Manager Cardigan's single. Another was added In the fifth when Cheney, who replaced Mnrqimrd in the box after Pfeffer hud butted for the former, passed Hooper, who stole second and scored on Holilitzel's ttouhlc. Tbe final run of Hie game came In thc seventh, .lanvrin.. second man up, forced Hooper, who had singled, went to' second on Walker's' sacrifice and scored when Huhlitzel grounded lo Cheney, whose throw to first hit the runner. Cheney was soon afterward replaced ■ Nap Hnelier, one of the greatest of southpaws when nt the height of his ureer. Thus it came about that both this veteran pitcher's ambition to work in n world's series and the fans" de- Ire to see him in that position were gratified. Rocker. pitching with rent deliberation and wide-sweeping curves, held tlie Bostons scoreless to the end In the two innings he held command, he fanned three of the six batters that faced him and allowed only one lilt. Leonard Docs Great Work. of the four twirlers in the game Leonard's work was the 'test. He allowed only five hits In nine Innings, struck ont three, gave four1-luisc-s on balls, and'made one wild pitch. Boston collected 10 hits off Brooklyn's three pitchers for a total uf In bases, while Brooklyn secured five lilts for eight bases, lioopijr made the only base steal of the day and tlie Red Sox used only nine players to 'he homo club's 15, Weather conditions were the best of the series to date.

NEW RAILROAD GREAT ASSET FOR ARGENTINA ItfENoS AVRES, Argentina—The traveller who crosses from Chilli Into Argentina by way of the Trans-Andean railroad, is greeted with a\t<&§ clouds of sand sifting into the Tars from the Pampas that be falls to notice the many conveniences and tbe ■ comforts of the road. There are. compartment cars for sleeping: dining curs which resemble those upon the best railroads of tbe t'nited States, and pumitiltlous attention on%tbe purl of tbe officials and railroad employees, such as is not always forthcoming in .North. America. The traveller In Argentina also meets an odd feature in the "Complaint Book" which is found at the railroad stations. Passengers are asked to write in these books any complaint which, they may have to make against the administration of the road or Its employees. Argentine passengers are not slow to make use of this privilege, as the love of the Latin temperament to appear In print is well known. Many of tho complaints strike one as being funny. At times after tbe lengthy censure of -some ""Indignant passenger regarding tlie manners of a railroad attendant, a fellow passenger will add his word to the effocj that tbe attendant was quite correct in his deportment, but that the complainant's manners were deplorable, An Englishman narrates a story of one written complaint he found in one of these books, which read: "Everything on this road is in perfect order and the staff is faultless." British capital hus been poured into Argentine railroads to a large extent nnd the country is much in debt to Great Britain for many far-reaching developments in transportation. There is said to be invested at present lu Argentine railroads ami electric tramways £800,000,000 of British capital, of the money required to construct the ■Ji'.Of'O miles of railroad in this republic. British financiers have furnished approximately '■> per cent; n per cent of the railroad capital is French and 4 per cent Argentine. The growth of railroad mileage lias been as remarkable as the advance along other lines in this modern state. Between the years isr.o and 1860 Argentina hud virtually no railroads, save one line u few mill's in length, and for a number of years following il was necessary for the* government to make large biduyements to capitalists in order to secure their willingness to Invest Money In such projects. The country was unsettled politically, and conditions regarding agricultural development were at that time so Insecure that the risk- Involved was considerable. As an inducement to investors absolute ownership for throe miles on each side of the railroad lino was given. During the past !!0 years, however, tbo rullrond mileage in this progressing country has more than doubled and Argentina now ranks second among the nations of tbe world lu rnilroud mileage per capita of population; United. Stales holding first place in this regard. Argentina has copied North American models in her big freight curs us well as In many of the arrangements of her passenger trains; indeed, although one will be told frequeiilly, especially by Europeans that the Argentines do not like the "Yankees," and will not have anything to do with them unless It is positively necessary, Ihe manner In which this republic has gone to the United States with patterns not only In her railroad transportation, but in scores of her modern improvements, would indicate u closer ussociution between the two American republics than is sometimes Inferred. The government railroads run chief- ly through scetlons-that. are especially suitable for colonization, and It may .be stated thnt these state lines arc frequently failures financially, being the easy prey of political favorltolsm and patronage. Like the government roads in Chilli, which arc run nt a loss despite the heavy freight charges, tlie large amount of transportation nnd with no dividends to pay. these Argentine roads need expert business management by men who are Interested in mnking* them .pnty, rather livni in securing fat jobs for their constituents. A situation tike this would seem to reflect somewhat upon the patriotism as well as upon the business sense of tbe South American republics, [like Ecuador. Pern and Argentina, where the railroads are almost exclusively In the hands of foreigners, and one Is led to inquire why the South American ls not Interested In railroad industry, due answer given Is to thc,effect that the Aregniln.es, at least, are not inclined to Invest their money either In railroads of' their own. or in roads run by foreign capital, because of tbe fact thnt dividends are limited by law to 7 per cent while the Argentine is not interested in Investments less than 12 per cent, and he is often the recipient of 30 per cent investments in this land of bounding prosperity nnd quick values. ■ It is doniitfui, However. If any one agency hns done more to put Argentina upon the map of the commercial world ibun here comparatively new railroad systems which have tapped the out-of-tbe-way sections of this umnning land of "camps," as the great farms arc called down here. The rri.il- rouds ai;e now doing for Argentina what they have been accomplishing during the last '2:> years In East India, piercing the remote sections of the country, bringing people and produce to the large eoiist towns and 'forming tho civillzei's of thc republic. Alongside of the schools, the rail roads'aro modernising Soutn America, .and especially hore in this ugrieulturftl sec- tiork they have caused lands which wer useless and desolate desert only a few years since, to leap In price and possibilities, becoming tanglblo assets in an agricultural belt as big •Jis the entire United States east of the Mississippi. As one travels on these new roads, passing tbe brand new homsteuds, surrounded by the Inevitable clump of trees which murks niv' "estancla" as one sees everywhere the freshly cultivated alfalfa, which is the piece de insistence in this grazing land, and beholds tbe seemingly endless fields of wheat on land that only a couple of years ago perhaps wus wuste pumpa, there Is but ono adequate explanation—the railroad. At .present there is little difficulty experienced In the promulgation of new railways in Argentina, since th landowners are fully awake to the priceless blessings of transportation. Ip the country districts land-Is given uway for railway lines, and In many bases local contributions aro made by the people as an Inducement for railway investment. The rnen who munuge these roads nre usually llrltlsh and they are well paid, receiving often us much as $.1^,000 a year for their services. It is said that- one reason at least for giving these men a large salary is to place them beyond tbe. temptation of bribes from land-companies and syndicates which would try to Influence the managers to lay down roads in accordance with tlie personal and local requirements of certain sections, rather than along the lines of large future development. In railroading us in virtually every phase of business, in these Latin republics this political favoritism of individuals has hindered much of the native Industrial and developmental work of these countries .Grunting favors Is carried to the nth power In South American. "You do something for me and I will in turn do something for you,"-*is the slogan and the public seems to be left largely out of account. Theso states are going through the process whlclj, has not been absent from North American politics, when a public office has not always been n "public trust." Government offices nre tied to patronage In a marvellous way and many a man would see little uso of bis elevation to official position if he were prevented from using this position for favoring a friend. In return for which he would be sure of obtaining rewards often entirely Incommensurate with Ills service. Tbe foreign railway manager wilt tell you moreover that. In Argentina us on tho west coast of. South America the pnlh of Ihe pioneer is not u bed of roses. Foreign promoters are blocked and held up by the government not because so much because of the suspicion of the benefits to the country which they feel sure will nccrue. us for purpose of demanding concessions for roads through territory where road cannot lie economically profitable tor many years to tbe Investors. There I are great delays and Innumerable and petty arrangements and formalities to be met,, und tbe man who manages { a rdthyuy in, these ..countries niustl needs have tho point of view of tbe .Latin temperament, infinite patience, and sufficient capital behind'him to be able to'bitje hi"*.time. In spile of' the considerable attention'given to railroading In Argentina, there seems to have been as yet little public sentiment relative to country, roads. . The' owners or automobiles seem to have been satisfied thus far to whirl their high powered expensive cars over the glistening muchddiim streets of their wonderful capital, Buenos Ayres, and-through tho Immediately adjacent country. In some seasons of the year, indeed, and In certain parts of Argentine thero would seem to be little need of expending money to make roads, one may ride for leagues alongside of groat "es- tanclns" where the country roads on the pampa are like level. floors, and except for the dust seem as bard and usable us any mnn-made boulevard. Yet in tbe rainy season it is a different story. You will be told of all kinds of difficulties in iiuugmlres and mud where vehicles currying produce to the trains nre frequently stranded. It Is not. an unusual thing to see eight ■yoke of oxen tugging away at a heavy load of produce, trying to drug it out of the seemingly bottonless road. The prospect is goo'd, however, for un Improvement, especially in roads cbtween the large farms and the railroad stations, for the railway campun- les aro being plnced under contract by tbe government to construct good roads for short distances upon which tlie farmers may haul their products to tbe trains. There is still a long way to go before this country will become a paradise for thc automobilist. Among other things it will be necessary for the people themselves, especially the wealthy clusses, to change their penchant for spending their wealth in.Buenos Ayres and in Europe, securing more of tlie tendency seen in the Cnlted Sta.tes to build country homes and develop the rural sections. " ■ Tbia Is but a sign of future possibilities in this vast and undeveloped Argentine. There arc prairies of boundless extent waiting to yield their Increase when manifold more of railway mileage will have pierced its way Into the remote sections.

GERMAN SO ATTACK CIAISTS Leaflet Entitled "Hunger," Condemning Teutonic War Policy Circulated Among Soldiers. "Hunger," a Socialist anti-war leaf let, is being circulated widely through out Germany, according to the state ment of the foreign correspondent of tiie New York Times. Tho leaflet, which is printed upon lurid red paper, is remarkable for its bitterness and its language of frank Indictment of tlie powers in Germany responsible for the war and Us attendant horrors, which have brought the nation to tbe verge of starvation. It is said that the leaflets have been given wide circulation amopg tlie sol diers of thc kaiser, as many copies have reached Holtnnd In the hands of German deserters from tbe..finny while others-have been thrown over the wlro entanglements along the Dutch tion tier The leaflet read's as follows: The Leaflet. "What was expected has comc- hunger in Lelpslc, in Berlin, In Char- lottenburg, in Hmnswlck, Mndgoburg, Koblenz and Osnabruck, as well as In many other places. Disorders caused Iiy the hungry masses have occurred before shops containing foodstuffs and those responsible for the slate of things have no other remedy for the hungry masses than a state of siege polico swords and military patrols. "Chancellor von Belhmunn-Holhvog blames England for tlie evils at present existing in Germany and advocates a continuance of the war to the bitter end, aa well as the supporters of the government, who repeat this praltkv "Nevertheless the German government must have known,that this state of tilings was bound to come about. War against Russia, France and Kngland was bound to lead to" the Isolation of Germany, our war piukers lament that our degenerate enemies have blockaded ns, lint why pursue such a course of politics that would Inevitably lead to a blockade? Fatten on Misery. "This criminal provocation of a world war was followed by further .dundors. Tho government has done nothing to prevent the present, starvation of the masses. Why it has done nothing is because till? government clique of capitalists, junkers and speculators in foodstuffs do not suffer as tho musses of ihe people. On the contrary they grow richer through the hunger of the people. "If from the outset of the war serious measures bad been taken to pro- vent hunger and misery, the gravity of the situation would have* been revealed to the blockaded masses and this enthusiasm for war would soon have cooled. Meanwhile the masses of the people were benumbed by victories ami triumphs, although all the time they were being delivered Into the hands of the agrarian and eapitapsl food exploiters. Thc attempt was niade to cause tbe masses to lose their cool common sense. The ruling classes do not wish to give up their plans for the annexation of territory and the people are defrauded into (lie belief that if Germany can dictate peace teems, her Influence in tlie future will be predominant. Lies. "We have been told lies ns to German U-boats cutting off England's supplies und that Kngland will be brought to her knees and the war thus ended. Tbeso nre fairy talcs only fit for little children. Submarine war- faro only makes fresh enemies for Germany and it would bo Impossible to cut off England's supplies even if Germany had 10 times as many submarines as she at present possesses. "Now they would console us with the prospect of coming harvest, saying all our misery will end Immediately the crop is gathered. This Is also a deliberate misstatement and simple calculation Will prove it so. In thc course of 22 montlis of war the produce of two hnrvests has been consumed, besides quantities of cattle fodder, sugar und other foodstuffs which had been accumulated prior to the outbreak of tho war.

The injured child was attended by Drs. Rose Und Hartln, who found it necessary to amputate the leg below tho knee. It ls expected that he will recover. The accident occurred at 2:10 o'clock in the afternoon as tho car In charge of Motormnn George W. Hall and Conductor H. B. Bellls was about to cross Ward street to its stopping place on tbo opposite corner. Mrs. McLeod and her two children were leaving the- hotel to catch thc car when the little fellow ran out into the road toward it and as tho front end passed him, stumbled and fell between the trucks, tho rear wheels passing over his foot and leg. His father Immediately ran from the hotel and carried him to the office of Drs. Rose and Hartln, where he was attended by Dr. Rose and afterwards removed to the Kootenay Lake General hospital, where the operation was performed later In the afternoon. Motorman Hall stated that his car was moving at about six miles an hour and was within a few yards of fefficiency and soldierliness of tho oriental recruits lo the Canadian ■forces, he said. Pte. Hoyakawa was born in the central portion of Japan, near Maye- 'hashl, a few miles inland from Tokio. Before enlisting he conducted a meat and vegetable business In Calgary. Pte.

F., mobilizing at Sarcee camp, and Is.a guost at tho Grand Central. He will" continue his journey to the coast this morning by way of tho Kettle Valley line.. Pte. Hoyakawa stated that a number of his countrymen were In the ranks of the Canndlan overseas forces at the front, while still more were in training in various parts of Canada. Forty-ono Japanese, he said, had gone to the front with the 13th overseas mounted rifles from Canada, which unit had since been used as reinforcements to the Princess Pats. Fifty-six more, he stated, were at present training with the 176th and 50 with the 192nd. Many of these men, he said, wero old soldiers who had received their military training in tho schools of Japan nnd in the regular army of that country during the wur with Russia. He himself has not seen active ser vice, as he was too young to go to the front In the Russia war. Many fav orablc comments had been passed by commanding officers on tbe smartness the corner of Ward street when he saw the little boy run out into the road toward his car, but that when the vestibule passed him thero was a good eight feet between him and tho car. Ho anticipated no danger, as tho child, he said, was at the side of the car and not In front, of it. He was quite used to seeing the little chap playing on the sidewalk and in the road outside his father's hotel. The first intimation he had that an accident occurred was when he felt the jar caused by the wheels passing over the boy's foot and beard his screams of pain. He then Immediately brought his enr to a stop. UNDED: ADD REFUSES II NEEDS Qolden Bantam Corn GREENGAGE PLUMS Per basket 20c ALBfcRTA AND LOCAL CRAWFORD PEACHES.
