NEW GOVERNMENT BRITAIN'S REPLY TO FRANCE A BROADSIDE BRITAIN GIVES AND PUBLISHES AFIMREPLY Note to France and Belgium Says in Plain Terms Must Be Showdown ONLY ASKS~ENOUGH OF DEBTS TO PAY STATES Will Forego Rest of What Allies Owe Her If They Yield on Reparations LONDON, Aug. 12.—The British government. In the publication today of Its official correspondence with lhe allies-. Blnce June, places on record Its position with regard to th* Oerman reparations problem. Lord Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, in an elaborate note dealing with all the manifold aspects of the prpblem, sets forth that the British government regards the occupation nf the Ruhr as Illegal and unauthorized by the Versailles treaty, thus mvvportlng the German contention In this respect. At the same time, however, he offers to submit the point to arbitration at Tho Hague or by some other body. While still adhering to a note of the utmost eeurtesy, and saying nothing definite with regard to any separate action on the part of Great Britain. Lord Curzon emphasizes that Oreat Britain cannot agree with the French policy, which he Intimates plainly seems to point to an Indefinite occupation of the Ruhr. Lord Curzon still leaves It to the French government to suggest the method of selecting an International commission to examine Into Germany's capacity to pay reparations. but he plainly declares that Britain cannot accept the decision of the reparations commission on this matter, since that commission has be- cdme tbe mere ' Instrument of the Franco-Belgian policy. Finally. Lord Curzon declares that the British government still adheres to the plan of former-Premier Bonar Law. under which Great Britain would be satisfied to obtain from Oerman reparations and allied debts to Great Britain a sum sufficient to meet Great Britain's obligations to the United States. Resistance Withdrawal Quid Pro Quo Irfird Curzon's note, 'handed to the French and Belgian ambassadors on Saturday, expresses the sincere disappointment with which the- British government had 'received the previous communications of France and Belgium, especially since Great Britain had suggested that, an Inquiry Into Germany's capacity to pay should be conducted within the framework of the treaty of Versailles; that the German government should be asked to withdraw its orders lnjolnlng t»sslv«* resistance on condition that this should be regarded as an evidence of good faith, Involving reconsidering bv the powers of their conditions of occupation, and ft gradual return to normal Of the industrial life In the Ruhr. The British note remarks that It Is '■difficult to think In what way g"c aiter con a I deration should have been obowo, to the Franco-Belgian point of view." .... ' . It then. ja.t great length,. outlines tho British viewpoint, which Lord Curzon -summarizes as follows: "His majesty's government never contemplated, and does not coatem* plate, that Germany should be relieved of all reparation payments. 1 hey are determined that Germany Mit.11 pay to the maximum of her capacity. What that maximum may be should be decided by an impartial inquiry. It cannot be ascertained by easting up what Germany's creditors would desire. Host Hot Force Uqulda-tloiu "To ask more than Germany's capacity can only destroy assets which Germany would be able to offer the allies. To force liquidation is not the most profitable way of making recovery from a debtor's resources. Germany can only make substantial payments, if, by restoration of her finances and Ftabllination of her currency, she secures a budget surplus available for reparations. Moreover, this surplus must be in a form which ctn.be made available for external payments ovor the foreign exchanges. External debts cannot be paid by tho collection of depreciated paper marks. "I(i the view of his majesty's government, forcible Interference with the economic life of Germany, even If consistent with the treaty of Versailles, cannot assist in the necessary restoration. Not only will it rrevent realization of any surplus for reparations, but, by intensifying the disorder of German finance and currency, will have the gravest reactions on trade. French Method Doomed to Failure. "His majesty's government, therefore, regard aa doomed to failure the method pursued by the French and f-Dlglan governments to secure reparations. Despite the wholesale seizures, the occupation of the Ruhr has produced, at great cost, leas receipts for the allies, notably of coal and coke, than were forthcoming . the previous year. Moreover, his majesty's government feels that the resulting situation Involves a great and growing danger to the peaceful trade of the world, and not the least of that of Great Britain. "The government regards the continuance of the present position as fraught with gravest risk, both eco- nomie and political. They consider an impartial fixation of Germany's liabilities at a figure not Inconsistent with her practical power of making payment, as a matter of great urgency and they have suggested what ap- CContinued on *>u«e 3) Deaf Mate Slayer PUJUuluTI CUflU Has Brief Liberty UllMllllIlL OWIM IS DONE AGAIN IN FASTER TIME Enrique Tirabocchi of Argentine Cuts Five and Half Hours From Record IS FIRST TfTcONQUER FROM THEJ-RENCH SIDE Other Three Swimmers Trying Feat All Have to Be Lifted Out of Water JOHN COSGRAVE, The insane doaf mute who killed Rev.

TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 12.—Bernard Edward Roddia, aged 76, well-known In north country mining circles, and an ezcounclllor of the township of Coleman died Saturday at his home here. Hft was connected with the Larwse and Hollinger mines, DOVER, Eng., Aug. 12.—Enrique Tirabocchi, Argentine swimmer, landed here at 12:33 o'clock this afternoon, after swimming tho English channel from Cape Griz Nez, France, In the record time of 16 hours and 33 minutes. Toth Within Two and a Half Miles After 18 hours and 33 fciinutes In the water, Charles Toth of Boston, Mass., abandoned hfa attempt to swim tho channel, at 6:45 o'clock this morning, when within two and a half miles of the English coast. With fortunate turns in tho tide, Tirabocchi took nine hours less for his journey from the French side to Dover than Henry Sullivan last week to traverse the channel. The swimmer also cut 5 hours and 25 minutes off the record sot in the 70's by the first man to swim the channel. Captain Webb, an Englishman, who later lost his life in trying to negotiate the rapids at Niagara Falls. Collapses on Touching Bottom The great effort of Tirabocchi sapped him of all his strength, and, unlike Sullivan, he was unable to walk up to the shore. The moment the Argentinian's feet touched the bottom a few yards out from the pebble-covered beach of Dover, he fell Into the arms of members of the crowd that had cheered the finishing strokes of his trudge across the 22 1-2'mile stretch of water. ' He recovered rapidly, however. His retinue, who had rowed across the channel in his wake, removed his swimming trunks, and lifted htm Into some dry clothes. The clean linen seemed to revive him, for he stood up and began chatting with his comrades. Then, before anyone had an opportunity to find out what ho thought about his swim, he hopped into a rowboat, which took him to tug, which immediately pointed Its prow back toward the French shore. Was Fortunate in Tide Turns Tirabocchi had luck with him. Had he been 30 minutes slower In getting within the sheltered cove between the long Admiralty pier and Shakespeare cliff, ho would have had to battle longer with an adverse tide, which last year robbed swimmers of victory. At 83 minutes past noon Tira- bocchi's feet touched earth again for the first time since he had taken the water at 8 o'clock last night. Because of his spewed In crossing, he had to contend with only three tides, while Sullivan had five to fight. • Like Sullivan, the Argentinian will receive £1000 for his feat, and also gold medal from the Channel Swimming club. The other persons who started yesterday to do what Tirabocchi accomplished today all had to be lifted out of the water. Two of them, Romeo Nuclei, another Argentinian, and Sam Richards of Boston, have decided the channel is too much for them, this year at least. Tirabocchi is the first man In history to ewlm from the continent of Europe to the British Isles. The other three who conquered the channel started from the English shore and landed in 'France.

Mr. Murphy had been for 40 years identified with lakejcjtoba transportation interests. i AJberta 112. available this mornintr the Dominion bureau of statistics forecast the total Canadian wheat crop at 382,514,000 bushels. The report is based upon the condition of crops at the end of July and Indicates that three prairie provinces Vill produce 357,- 295,000 bushels of wheat If weather conditions remain favorable and harmful agencies do not take too heavy a toll. Commenting upon the outlook, the report states: Crop conditions at the end of July are continuing to be- generally favorable, especially in Saskatchewan and Alberta, where the percentage condition for wheat and oats is considerably above the average. In Manitoba the condition of wheat has somewhat receded during the month, damage having been caused by attacks of rust and sawfly. Manitoba, lt is expected, will have a total whet yield of ■ 44.4fiS.000 bushels; Saskatchewan, 211.051,000 bushels, and Alberta, 101.77ti.O00 bushels. Final estimates for iaii2 Jn these three provinces were: Manitoba, 60,051,000 bushels; Saskatchewan, 250.167.000 bushels, and Alberta, 64,976,000 bushels.

Aug. 12. — The resignations of Chancellor Wllhelm Cuno and his entire cabinet were accepted today by President Ebert. Dr. Gustav Htressemann, leader of the Oerman People's party, has been commissioned by President Ebert to form a new government. After accepting the tank, Herr Flressemann had a conference with the representatives of the various parties. The greatest difficulty seems to be ln connection with the foreign ministry, and It is thought possible that he will take the post himself temporarily. It Is believed In political quarters that Herr Hllferding will be the new finance minister, and Herr Bellman will be named minister of the Interior, while the name of Herr Rlieln- baben of the People's party Is men* tloned as the new secretary of state to the Imperial chancellory. Socialists Will Dominate. Thus the new cabinet will be of a strictly political character. Including representatives of the United Socialists, Clerical, People's and Democratic parties. The United Socialists have r.iade it known they expect to have four seats ln the ministry. Just before Chancellor Cuno called on President Ebert to submit lhe cab- Inet'H resignation, the reachstag leaders, representing coalition parties and the United Socialists, visited the president and discussed with him the prospects of constructing a government on a four-party coalition basis. This indicated that the United Socialists had arrived at an understanding with the bourgeosle parties with respect to their readiness ot eater a cabinet which would accept as a platform the program of Internal tax and financial measures and other political nnd •jconomical demands which tht United Socialists put forward In their campaign against Herr uno. Aim Is to Defeat *%•&». Abandonment of the chancellor by the Socialists was commonly accepted as a concession to their radical following, and as a counter stroke to the Communists, who nre using the nation's, distresses as a means of mobilizing the working classes around the red fluff. It may bo. said that Herr Cuno was purely a victim of the economic crisis. as the three middle parties supporting him were still Inclined to stand by his government. But at last they realized the futility of maintaining him In the position of chancellor in the face of 200 hostile Labor votes in the rtlchstag. The four-party coalition which hereafter will occupy the government bench in the reichstag will command a majority which is opposed by only 71 Nationalistic and 26 Communistic votes, out of a total of 469. New Chancellor Industrialist. Dr. Stressemann was born In 1879. He Is one of the most fluent speakers ir. the reichstag. The new chancellor has been identified with industrial activities. He is the presiding chairman of the German-American Economic league, which is occupied with endeavoring to further trade relations between the United States and Germany.

"When steps have been thus taken to ascertain the real value of the , asset represented by German reparations, and to secure its realization ' without further depreciation, his i.-ajesty's government will be ready to deal as generously as possible, under the conditions, with the matter, and In the light of their respective capacities to pay, with the debts due to Great Britain and her allies. "The government,1 having regard to Great Britain's heavy material loss during and since the war, and to future tax burdens «on Its trade, admit that other countries are Justified in claiming that the agreed percentages cf ropa.-at.on payments should now be further modified, or changed ln the order of priority. •'But they remain prepared to ask for no more in respect of the very large sums due from their allies than will, together with the reparation payment by Germany, meet the British war debt to the United States government. Reaffirm Bonar Law Proposal. ' "The policy in this matter is stated in Mr. Bonar Law's proposals submitted to the Paris conference ln January, and has not changed.

"It is the hope of his majesty's government that the above explanations will convince the French and Belgian governments of the reasonableness of the British position, und will win their assent to Its acceptance.

Allies Have Shown Little Courtesy. Lord Curaon, in tbe body of his r.ote, which is very long and filled with arguments over various proposals and points raised In the extended course of the reparations negotiations, complains that, notwithstanding the terms of courtesy employed by France and Belgium regarding the recent British suggestions, the reception of these suggestions by those governments "leave his majesty's government under the ' painful Impression that neither are their suggestion welcomed by their allies, nor Is their offer of cooperation helH to merit consideration except on condition that no de- , narture be made in any one parttcu- jca" "rover from Germany, lar from whatever France and Bel ' lneV can onlv be Kran1 the Just claims of other parts of the [ Empire, to limit her demands for payment by her allies and by Ger- j many together, to a net sum approximating 14,200,000,000 gold marks, rep- ! resenting the present value of Great!

Finally the note says that In view of the fact that, although Belgium warmly welcomed the British offer to discuss with the allies the question of future security, as France had contended this question had nothing to do with the Ruhr and must be postponed to an unnamed date in the future, the British government thinks no useful purpose can be served by pursuing the matter. Accompanying Lord Curzon's note was a memorandum fully explaining Great Britain's position with regard to interallied debts. , Britain Would Forgive Nearly Billion The memo declares the government's opinion is that it will be lm-» possible satisfactory to deal with the question of Interallied debts until it is known what amount Is recoverable from Germany, it points out that the total amount Great Britain asks from Germany and her allies together Is, In effect, less than the amount of the allied debts, being limited to the amount of the British debt to the United States, without regard either to loans raised by Great Britain tn the open United States securities, estimated at between £700,000,000 and £800,000,000, used to finance the allied cause In the United Statea (before it entered the war, the loss of which, from the economic standpoint, Is the equivalent of contracting an equal amount of foreign debt. The British government, however, the memo says, cannot conceal from the French government that Andrew Bonar Law's suggestion is less at tractive to it row than when made in January, inasmuch, as deterioration of Germany's financial prospects, through the unwise Franco-Belgian action, has made the security of the German reparation bonds much more precarious. It must also be under stood that the willingness to discuss the question must not be interpreted as a wkiver on Great Britain's part, of the British rights ns a creditor, which are governed solely by contracts under which money was advanced, and the securities which Great Britain holds France's Obligations Stand The memo declares that there was no suggestion jvhen the'loans were made to France, that repayment waa dependable on recoveries from Germany. The bills were made sub- ject to renewal for a limited period glum declare to be their overriding views and decisions." Lord Curzon stated that the Belgian reply at first sight appeared to be the less uncompromising, but that at closer examination showed both the attitude of Belgium and France, for all practical purposes, identical. Hence, the British government asked leave to deal with both replies ln a single answer. Commenting strongly on France having ignored Great Britain's suggestion of a draft reply to Germany, Lord Curzon said: "The ommlssion is hardly compensated for by the series of argumentative passages, inquiries on points of details, and offers of further discussions and conversations holding out the prospect of an indefinitely spun-out controversy, while the fundamental principles were only mentioned in order to declare that they do not admit of discussion." France Asks O.Hbt Cancellation Much of the note is taken up with arguments against the Franco-Belgian claims of special priority in payments, and especially France's claim that she ought to receive 26.- 000,000,000 marks net, and also have her debts to Great Britain and the United States cancelled. Lord Curzon declares that such, a demand is for an amount three or four times larger than -would, on balance, fall to France's share under the existing agreement. Lord Curzon declares hla government cannot admit there ''is any ground whatever for revising the percentages. In this connection he emphasizes that Great Britain alone among the allies is paying Interest on debts incurred abroad during the war, representing a capital sum of £ 1,000,000,000 at the present rate of exchange due the United States, and that Great Britain has been deprived, in tho allied interest, of foreign securities estimated at from £700.000,000 to £800,000,000 which would otherwise substantially assist in the payment of the British debt to the United States. Lord Curzon opposes the Franco- Belgian contention that the reparation commission is competent to undertake an investigation of Germany's capacity to pay, taking, the ground that, in the absence of a United Statea representative, France and Belgium would be able to carry any resolution over the heads of the British and Italian representatives. Regarding the constitution of the proposed expert commission the note says the British government would be willing to see upon It, nominees not only of the powers entitled to reparations, but of the United States, and of powers which took no part in the late war, and, it would seem desirable, of Germany herself. If, would prefer any other form of constitution, the British government wouhl be happy to consider it.

Not that the road itself presented any difficulties—Mr. Wheeler declares it is a particularly fine stretch—but there was a bridge across the Salmon river at Ymir that was not yet completed. Aside from that It was all right. Undaunted, however, the party— Mr. Wheeler had seen to it that he had some assistants—hauled planks and placed them across the structure.

STATES SCOUTS Deputy Commissioner British Columbia Here Explain Movement On a tour of the province in the interests of the boy scout movement G. B. Scarrett of Victoria, deputy commissioner for British Columbia, has arrived ln the city and has made a visit to the scout camp at Kokanee. He will address a meeting here, at which he will outline the alms of the movement and Us progress. ■ Mr. Scarrett is laying particular stress on the fact that the movement Is not of a military nature and that lt forms a highly-organized Instrument for peace. He holds that the principles of the organization ln themselves form a solid foundation for better understanding between nations, for, he states, the fundamental creed of the scout movement Is the recognition of the rights of others. It is, Mr. Scarrett states, ' much to the Interest of the parent ajid the nation that the scout movement be furthered, rs lt impresses upon youth many valuable lessons in a way more impressive than could be any that a parent would devise and, in addition, builds up for the nation young men imbued with the value of obedience and of clean living.

'eviving the Apprenticeship System The International Labor Review has n article in its current issue dealing rtth the apprenticeship system, ln ha course of which it shows what ifforta are being made to revive bis plan and adapt it to the large cale production which appears to ie an essential characteristic of mod- irn industry. The article alludeB o the decline of the apprenticeship rystem in almost every country. This, t says, has resulted in a shortage >f highly-skilled workers, while the workers now produced as skilled are >flen Inadequately trained. Atten- ;lon is directed to an Interesting innovation that has been introduced in New South Wales, where boya can be apprenticed to a group of employers as well as to an Individual. In this case the members Vf the Employers' association are jplntly, but not severally, liable for ;he performance of the contract, and he apprentice may work for any -nember of the association. This lelps to insure that the apprentice receives as thorough a training as possible, and, especially In a highly- organized trade, largely overcomes the difficulty caused by the apprentice's desire to move from one Establishment to another. Allusion is made in the article riuoted, says the Victoria Colonist, to attempts being made by certain large undertakings in Canada and the United States to Improve and modernize apprenticeship methods, by which a complete eystem of technical education, both theoretical and practical, Ib organized. The tenor Of the article shows that there Is strong argument for a return to the apprenticeship system on, a wide scale, with emphasis laid on the necessity of making lt adaptable to modern industrial conditions. Without a doubt, the old apprenticeship system produced better workmen than are being produced today. It produced workmen who paid more attention to detail, who took a greater pride in their work who concentrated on bringing out the finished article In as near a state of perfection as possible, and who were truly, trained in the work of specialization. The idea prevalent nowadays that a youth, after a brief theoretical training In a trade, can become an efficient worker and draw a worker's pay because he is eligible to belong to the union should he exploded In the interest of the economic output. There are too many Inadequately trained workers, and hence. there Ib great waste in the work of production.

While this province reveals a decrease of fifty-five per cent in drunkenness. Nova Scotia comes next with over 30 per cent, Ontario with over 30 per cent, and Quebec with a little over 28. New . Brunswick decreased by over 13 per cent, and Alberta by 12 per cent. Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Yukon' all showed Increases and illicit stills increased in almost every province.—Victoria Times. What the Press Is Saying | 4 Crime Decreasing Canadian criminal statistics for the year 1922 should afford the people of this country considerable satisfaction. The details just Ib- eued by the official bureau at Ottawa indicate that the total number of cases tried by criminal courts throughout the Dominion in 1922 was 163,929 as compared with 182,720 in the preceding year—a decrease of over 10 per cent. Convictions declined from 177,773 in 1921 to H8.339 during the last twelve months under review. Ontario heads the list of provinces for the number of convictions of drunkenness, breaches of the Liquor acts. Illicit stills and offenses against the Narcotic. Drug act On the other hand, It Is shown that there has been a general decrease In drunkenness throughout the country with the most mnrked decline in British Columbia. (Comparison of Ontario and this province ln this respect does not suggest tiuch an anomalous condition as might appear at first glance. When one takes into consideration the tre- Imendous difference in population It ; not remarkable that a "dry" prov- [ce should disclose more Intemper- ite conditions than a province In there is less restriction. At One of the most popular eports models of the srason in London was a Chanel dress In jersey cloth or a similar fabric, fastening all the way down the front wllh large buttons and with a cape effect over the sleeves. BYLENOJtZ For all the heralding of tiered, flounced and flared dresses In the full, lt does seem certain that the absolutely straight silhouette will still be given Its place In the sun. That Is, the straight contour as we have known It, unadulterated by any foxy little tricks In the way of a totally different effect when the frock turns its back on you—which must be confessed of form* of the new dresses which are making their way here from abroad. There Is this to be noted, however, the very newest thing to do is to have the frock unbelted, princess fashion. A most attractive dress of this type Is made of dark green Juina cloth, finished on each side, from armhole to hem, with novelty buttons. The sleeves are tight to the elbow.

Seeing this, perhaps you have tried It, and the results have been disastrous. You hsve awakened with a headache and a bad taste «u tbe mouth. Why? Well, It's Just this way. You have an occupation that does not entail much muscular work. Perhaps you have a light lunch at noon, and then have a substantial meal In the evening. This meal Includes meat, •vegetable.* and dessert. The meat or eg^s, as you know, repair the tissues you have worn out through the day, and the other foods; supply the necessary beat for the body's activities. If, however, you indulge in another heavy meal before retiring, you can rfadfly see thnt as all the body's functions are In a state of rest, this food, particularly the meats, will not tet used up, and will lie In the body as waste matter. Bene* your headache. The person, however, who seems to "get by" and eat hearty meals at right, Is usually one who takes more sctlve exercise than yourself, of perhaps spends more time outdoors, and thus has this excess matter burned up fbr him the next day. Now, eating at night can be made helpful, If a little thought is used. For Instance. In many hospitals It Is customary to give all the patients a bowl Qf warm milk or broth about 9:30 tn the evening. This draws tt-e blood to the digestive apparatus, away from the brain, and Induces sleep. The warm milk or broth Is .10, real tax on digestion, and often fulfils i.:e desire for some-thing to eat before retiring for the night. Ho perhaps a little milk, cocoa or fruit will answer the purpose for you The Lighter Side The happiest, people are those that never step to wonder whether they are having a good time.

FORTY CENTURIES OLD POTTERY IN SWEDEN Tomb snd Shrlns Give Bias to Dls- oovetie* Kick ln aellcs of Early Clvilixed Han. STOCKHOLM, Aug. 12. — Swedish archeologists have lately discovered an unusuil numhtr of relics that date buck i.0 to 30 centuries BC, the latest find being a tomb and shrine of heathen worship of the stone age, es- '-mated to be about 4(100 years old. This tomb Is situated in Lacka- laenga, Hkaane. the most southerly province of Sweden, and until a short time ace it lay burled beneath 10 dif ferent .strata of earth. Built of Iarga stone slabs, It has a central chamber about 10 feet by five. Around it la a circular pavement of slabs, from which radiate a number of curious walks marked by stones. A considerable quantity of human and animal bones wer« found, together with flint daggers snd spear heads. But the most interesting discovery was that of about 7000 fragments of < i,lamented \ascs, which had been tl Ickly strewn outside the tomb, The shattering of these vases probably took place, according to archeologists. In connection with heathen religious ceremonies. The shaping of ths weapons and the ornamentation of the itwsea Indicate an advanced civilisation. The Lackalaenga tomb Is estimated tt be about 4000 years old, but the Swedes have evidence that their country was Inhabited at least lood years before this tomb was built. A skeleton of that period, now on exhibition in Gothenburg, was found ln an ancient oysier bed, many miles inland from the present seacoast, at a point from which the sea began receding during the stone age. The fashionable drop shoulder Is now culminating ln a small puff on the arms, between ehoulder and elbow, and these puffs give a decidedly smart note to a plain dress.

The story of the events that led up to this terrible death, as revealed at the .Inquest, made pitiful reading, especially when his lather, Hon. Patrick Bowes-Lyon of Codogan square, \ jumped from his seat in protest during the evidence of cue of the Witnesses. _ ' "I think what he says' Is a' most /dastardly thing to say—that Miss, IParsons Is not to blame and that 'my son was. That Is a most cowardly thing," Later the brokenhearted father apologized for this outburst. In th* Younger Set * About a year ago the unfortunate youth, who was 22 years of age, met Miss Freda May Parsons, daughter of the late MaJ.-Gen. Sir Charles Parson. Both were familiar figures In the younger set of London society. Miss Parsons and her younger sister Isobel have been very popular, and for several years have been seen dancing night after night at the Grafton galleries. The two sisters were noticeably unlike. Freda Is dark and petite, while Isobel Is tall and fair. In April, 1921, Isobel married Lieutenant C. A. Kershay, R. N., who was one of England's most famous rugby players. On Monday evening, July 6, the unfortunate youth left his office ln the city—he was a member of the stock exchange—and went to his father's home, where he lived. His father asked him to have dinner with him, but the boy refused, saying that he was going Into the country to see some friends. Seeing that he was agitated Mr. Bowes- Lyon went to his room three times, endeavoring to persuade him to come Idown, saying, "We'll have a bottle of champagne." The boy emphatically refused. Heart Was Broken "There was nothing else troubling my son) his heart wns broken and that was allj" Mr. Bowes-Lyon continued. "A few days ago Lady Parsons sent for him and told him the Engagement was broken off. He'then /•vrote to Miss Parsons, and the r.nswpr lies In the letter ln your hands, Mr. Coroner. "The thing that broke his heart, no doubt. Is the statement after all ■ that has happened, 1 do" not love you.'" Another witness, Ralph Tritton of .Rutland gate, said that Angus Bowes- Lyon had confided ln him. On the AlgM of the aragedy he had called the witness up and said: "I am going to kill myself." Mr. Tritton, who was at the Guards club, Immediately rushed to the Hyde Park hotel, where he found he had juBt missed young Bowes-Lyon. Later in his evidence Mr. Tritton volunteered (he following observation: Girl Not to Blame "Having seen both sides of the case for 10 months and having been Introduced to Miss Parsons, Imy opinion, and the opinion of my friends. Is that Miss Parsons Is not to blame In any way." It was this observation that caused the broken-hearted father's outburst as given above. Mr. Tritton replied: "Your son (9FU my greatest friend." The father—"You should not say things against him now he la dead." Mr. Tritton explained that he did not mean to say that Mr. Bowes- Lyon was to blame. The coroner then read passages from a letter signed "Freda,"* which /said: "Mother does' not think I •ought to marry If I am not really In love with you. She does not think I could make you happy. I am not sure she ts not right: I ido not love you." Britain Is Asked ( to Settle "Dispute Over Holy Carpet CAIRO, Aug. 12.—King Fuad of Egypt is having a lively conflict with his brother ruler. King Hussein of-the HedJ.iv, over the holy carpet. This does not mean that Fuad has Hussein "on the carpet" for any cause. It simply means that the Egyptian monarch Insists that a detachment of Egyptian doctors shall accompany the annual pilgrimage of the faithful with their holy carpet to Mecca. Hussein argues that the Hedjaa produces excellent doctos of Its own nnd he de- sea no Egyptian importations. No settlement of the controversy is in sight, and King Hussein has appealed to Great Britain for a solution. At the season of the annual pilgrimages to Mecca the Egyptian government habitually orgnnizes a considerable medical detachment to assure the welfare of the pilgrims on, their trying Journey. This year the usual course was followed and the *qulva'ent of the personnel of two field hospitals was enlisted. King Hussein, however, suddenly declared against the Egyptian physicians. Egypt holds a high card in Us hand In the dispute in the fact that the holy ^*arpet, an Indispensable feature of the Mecca ceremonies, resides in a Cairo mosque. The flat, therefore, has gone forth, "No doctors, no carpet." The subject has aroused the whole of the two countries and has become the subject of formal diplomatic representations.

BABYLONIAN TONGUE TO HAVE DICTIONARY Language Two Thousand Years Dead It Subject of Special Study by Professor and Staff CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Writing a dictionary of a language dead for more than 2000 years is the 10-year task undertaken by Prof. D. Y>. L.uckenuii. of the University of Chicago, who, with a staff of eight assistants and many International.y-famous scholars, compiling a dictionary of Babylonian-Assyrian. When he completes the work he •will have more than 200,000 different word forms and at least 30,000 different words, he says. The object of the work is to open up vast fields of early civilization's history as gathered from the clay tablets of the people who at one time conquered the Hebrews. Professor Luekenbill is making a record of every word as it occurs In remaining records. Since some of these records vary in age as much as 3000 years the words often chan radically in meaning during ti: period. Professor Luekenbill sal Even English of only 600 years t Is hard to read, he added, bo t • changes ln Babylonian-Assyrian more than S00O years ago are ml greater. Ransack World for Tablets "AU the museums in the world ai being ransacked for clay tablets & other records of the old empin Prof.essor Luekenbill asserted, "ti making available the history ot thet ancient people, scholars have bet building up the story ol commert for 3000 years. "Most of our business law com* from the Babylonians. They usi marriage licenses, noted, mortgage contracts and most of our own leg] forms. From them we have die covered three great codes of la which modern nations have bee using since. "When a dictionary Is made avaJ ' able for scholars the twilight « the past is likely to be dlspelte and we shall know far more abot our own institutions. That la wb a 10-year task on a dead languag Is worth the trouble and pains." m ■ Chevrolet's Racer Forces De Palma ....

The State Bankers' association, *hich is responsible for the organization of the vigilantes, recently Reported that during the six months ...ullng July there was not a bank (robbery In Iowa—a record unsur- assed In recent years in the Hawk- fey e state. Losses eustalned by the banks and customers In 56 robberies during Q»21. before the vigilantes were organized, totalled $228,1*73.84. During "he following year, when the vlg- Jlantes were just getting under way, ■there were 30 robberies and losses $64,341.85. But $30,000 was ob- luined In the year Just ended. The record of Iowa, the only state ..aving such an organization, has attracted the attention of bankers and authorities throughout the states nnd a number have visited here and |«,btalned a working knowledge of >tstol* and rifles, or sawed-off shot- [the system, with a view of having t introduced in their own states. The vigilantes, armed with army guns, and the authority of deputy |frheriffs, are. for the most pa rt, ♦x-service men, trained in the use nf guns. They are subject to call [4 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their names and telephone numbers are on a special switchboard in the _?lephone office of their home town. |;hhI the operator, calling them out. allowed a bonus of $25 to en- Ironrage speedy service. The vigilantes operate In 800 of ■the 100O towns ln the state which Piave banks. The organization is spreading, and probably will be in ■ operation in the other 200 towns ■before tl-e year is ended. Banks In each of the 99 counties of the state have pledged the payment of at least $1000 for the cap- |ture or Information leading to the arrest and conviction of robbers or ■ burglars attempting to rob or burglar- Bee a bank. The reward is paid Im- Iim-diately upon the capture, dead or of robbers or burglars taken |while in the act of committing the rrime. Several counties have equipped iiheir vigilantes with armored autn- Imobiles. One county has barricades twrted at intersecting roads, from ebind which the bandits are due or a rain of lead, should they |jifli»H that way. Another county has rired lights for night pursuit, that flthe vigilantes may identify ear-h ,ih«r. The same county has pro- I Mm spiked belts. which are iii.tili.d across the highways to nurture tires of the automobiles f the fleeing bandits. In counties ■ IW-s there are airplane* arran(?e- | ■its have been completed for their in caps of emergency.

TRIAL SHIPMENT GOING TO TRAIL Among the many problems confronting the present government on taking office was the reestablishment of re- iur'i"d soldiers, particularly those who through dlHabilitles suntalned on active service wire unable to follow their previous occupations, states a letter is.HUfri by the post office department Esoee'nlly was. this a vital (jtif.-sllou ns regards those depart ments which requir.* large numbers of em* p'oypeN to carry on th* work both «.: Uttawa und throughout the country. Since the conclusion of the war returned soldiers have hern given prefer ence in thi> matter of employment In •he civil service. One of the most extensive and widespread channels of t mployment has been the post office department. A great number of returned men were taken on In the several ci.y post offices and other branches of the postal service to replace permanent employees who left the service for unions reasons. In addition, a lurge number have been afforded temporary .mployment from year to year during the holiday period—April to October— to relieve members of the regulnr i.laffs on annual b-avc. Heretofore, temporary men taken on for holiday relief purposes were, wltlt very fi-w exceptions, totully untrained in post office work. Moreover, their wrvlces were dispensed with at the rod of October—» \ery unfavorable time cf the yei-r owing to the diffi- eulty of securing other work to tide I bun over the winter months. From a labor Standpoint this was most uncut i*, factory. Problem Solved. Representations wen; annually received from numerous organizations of all classes asking the government to retain these temporary men for lhe winter months. This waa done by recalling those whose Rervices had been ilispf nsed with and retaining those' i,till on duty, with the result that the (ffIces were overmanned for a part of the year, unnecessary expenditure in the way of salaries was incurred, the voorklng nut put of the staff individually was lessened, and the efficiency of the staff thereby impaired. With a view to obviating the necessity of releasing the annual leave help at the end of the holiday period and to Increase the efficiency of the n-rvtce, thr postmaster-general directed the officers of the department to go into the whole mutter thoroughly. A I proposition has now been approved by 1 T'nstmaster-Gcneral Murphy, whereby ] the annual lenve will be spread over a period of 10 months—February to November, instead of six months as formerly, and by the establishment of what is known as a postal pool. The postal pool w.il constitute a permanent relief staff to take care of | minimi leave, sick leave, Christmas] tush work and other emergencies. This | will mean that a full ataff nf trained j employees will be nvailable at all tmes. Also the taking on of green | Lands al. the beginning of each boll-[ day season will be eliminated and the temporary help required at Christmas villi be materially reduced. The postal pool will virtually provide a training ground for post office employees, from which they will b« drafted to the regular staff as vacancies occur. All new employees entering the service will be first attached to the postal pool and will be assigned worK suitable .lo their capabilities Wli'Te undergoing the training they will enjoy aU the privileges of civil servants. k .Employees in the postal pool giving u cHtisfaetory service will be advanced 10 Ihe regular staff as vacancies oc cur. In this way continuous employment will be given as in previous yiara. The officers of tbe department are unanimously of the opinion that the morals of the staffs of the city post cifices will be improved, and that a more efficient as v.-ll as a more economical service will obtain.

McDonald replaced; threw three balls, somewhere over the catcher's head, and was replaced by Pa sac re ta.

In addition, he can he relied upon tu use the stick fairly consistently. Bill Freno replaced Ferguson ln the sixth, made a single and managed to steal his way home.

W. F. Was- snn, city clerk, has already been chosen. A proposal to request a provincial gasoline tax will come before the convention, and it will be pointed. It Is stated, -that Alberta. Washington and Oregon, have adopted this policy. The delegates of Victoria will attend, prepared to support the gasoline tax, Victoria's mayor having stated In that connection: "I think it Is becoming more and more realized that It Is a most equitable way of raising money. It Is making the people who use the roads most pay the greatest percentage for their upkeep. It Is hardly fair to call on the landowner to pay taxes for roads which the motor oar owners use most."

Fransen (Barber Sfcop) Agent We have CERTO The Handy Jell Maker FLEMING'S STORE, Fairview Preaching hfs introductory sermon. Rev. Carl C. Janxzow, pastor of the First English Lutheran church, last night chose as his theme "The right view of the holy ministry." He stated that In the opinion of many the Christian ministry Is a hopeless, and at the same time a needless, undertaking, and that It has lost Its power to evangelize the world. However. h« declared, the word of Ood loaches a different view, and shows the privilege, opportunity, need and responsibility of this holy office. Ministers, he aRf.erted, have the undeserved privilege of being servants of Christs nnd stewards of Ood. This fnot, he contended, gives Christian congregations and their pastors the comfortable assurance that they need not be ashamed of their ministry, nor need they fear Its failure, because it has the backing and moral support rf Ood. Despite this so-called enlightened age. there seldom was greater Bphitual darkness than today. Even many churches, declared Pastor Snntovr, are breaking away from their old gospel moorings. A veritable flood cf doctrinal Indifference and uncertainty, of world! iness and pleasure madness Is proving the ruin of many churches. Thus there is now a demand for true ministers of Christ. The Lutheran ministry of Nelson, it was stated, is here to make the most of the opportunity which Ood grants.

TBI It UNCLE SAM NAYY USES WAR STUFF In Manoeuvers Off Panama Blut Flaet Disappears and Outwits ths Black Enemy WASHINGTON, Au». 12.—How th« Unlud States fleet, 'comprising n ore th.m three scor* naval craft, "disappeared" from the face of tl.e seas and defied the effort of searchers, operating under, over and upon the water la told In an official navy department critique of the Panama mnnoeuvenf Incidentally the document reveals th&t In studying the possibility of the United Statea ■being dra,wn into i naval war, both the army and navy srmeral staffs are proceed!.'g on the •heory that hostilities would begin without a declaration of war and would be first signaled by a terrific attack on American soil. The successful masking of the movement of the fleet which represented the enemy force in the war game was declared by, the Judges to be outstanding tactical feature of the exercises. No War Declaration In order that conditions approximating those of war might be obtained, the department assumed that a diplomatic crisis had arisen with in unnamed power—denoted as ■'Black".—while the American, , or 'Blue," fleet was ccattered at home ports for overhaul. The attacking fleet, on Its part, was called upon to" actually cruise 3000 miles before reaching its objective in order that the same difficulties might be experienced as would face the theoretical enemy. Coming from northern ports the delenders carried out the role of having been suddenly mobilized from their peaceful activities. One squadron of destroyers had only 50 per cent personnel when the orders came, but the crews were hastily made up from apprentices. Eighteen seaplanes were sent from Hampton Iloads under their own power to Panama, and within a few hours after their rarlval were on the scouting line. 'Order that logical estimates of the situation can be made," the official report said, "certain assumptions are made aa to the general situation which Is supposed to exist. These are as follows: , . Strained relations between Blue and Black have recently been made nacre tense by a cruise of the Black fleet in the eastern Pacific under Admiral E.. composed of seven battle- 38 destroyers and two destroyer tenders, nine submarines and one submarine tender. After visiting ports on the west coast of South America, this fleet assembled at Galapagos Islands, where they joined the Black Base force and Train and a number of fuel and cargo vessels under other flags. After repair and refueling the entire Black fleet nailed with the announced Intention of vlBltlng Mag- da lena hay and American Pacific waters. .The Blue government, In view of the threatening situation, has ordered the majority of ships of the Blue fleet to Atlantic coast yards for overhaul. The remainder "has passed through the canal and Is based on Balboa, under Admiral M., comprising five battleships, 25 destroyers. 16 submarines and three tenders;. The Blue army air canal force has been asftenibled in the canal aone. This concludes the socalled 'general situation/ In view of the strained relations, Admiral E., commanding the Black fleet, prior to lea vl ng Black coun - try.reoeived instructions that the genera! naval plan would call for the destruction of the canal locks or obstruction of the waterway. To this end, If incidental to seizing a base within radius of the canal he should see fit to violate the neutrality of a Central or South American country, he was authorised to do so. He was also informed that two large plane carriers would join him at a rendezvous to the northward of the Galapagos islands. 'On February 19 the Black plane carriers join Admiral E.'s command and at 8:00 a.m. on that day when In latitude 7 deg. 30 min. north, longitude SV7 deg. 45 min. west, he receives the following radio dispatch from the Black general staff: "'Execute your war mission period there will be no formal declaration of war." Blue concluded that Black's most prnbable intention would be to establish a base on the Central or pos- Ibly South American coast, and to launch an attack by ibombers on the canal. The Black conimander came to the same conclusion. He rejected the South American coast on account of the greater distance. After due consideration, Port Culebra In Costa Rica was chosen for the Black, base. "At 4:30 p.m., February 20, Blue force commander sent radio to commander Blue destroyers to send b!x scouts immediately to examine coast as far as Fonseca, At 4:10 p.m., February 21, the Blue destroyer Ccghlan reported the enemy forces entering Port Culebra harbor.
