What happened or is happening at the glacial dam on the Shyok river is a mystery yet to be solved. 'The first report that the dam had burst was officially confirmed.

The dispatches from Bombay and Lah- ore say that dwellers along the predicted course of the flood hur- riedly made use of every means of transportation to reach places of safety. Military airplanes rose to watch the progress of the waters and warn the remote valleys, gen- eral alarm prevailed, This alarm has not ceased although the warn- ing was cancelled and villagers are continuing their exodus. It is stated that the consump- gion of the fuel of the bonfires through the false alarm will not grevent another warning when the dam bursts as a double chain of fires has been prepared and the watch is unrelaxed.

With the arrest of the two men, who are Russians, and who gave their names as John Latceo and Steve Bogden, police uncovered the largest cache of weapons and ammunition ever found in North Bay. Police are also holding a new se- dan car, which, it is alleged, the sup- posed Russian army officer bought at Kirkland Lake, and which he used there for some time before coming to North Bay. In brief, Latceo walk- ed into the police station and, sui- rendering, informed the amazed offi- cers that he had come to North Bay on the invitation of a friend who had invited him to participate in robbery armed. Whereupon Latceo produc- ed an automatic revolver and several loaded magazines, He then informed the police where one of his pals was located, and Sergt. Michaud and Constable Landreau speedily arrest- ed Steve Bodgen, unarmed. Further disclosures led the police to a local hotel, where they found, among other things, a United States police badge, a Colt automatic pistol and four loaded magazines, two large 45 calibre revolvers and three boxes of ammunition, one rifle, a jemmy and a flashlight, two changes of clo- thes, two revolver holsters and a sup- ply of food which would have kept the men in the bush for at least a week. Latceo's surrender and confession to the police was the outcome of fear, He said his erstwhile comrades had threatened him with death in the ev- ent that he failed to carry out suc cessfully his part of the program. Several banks were guarded to- night as the result of the revelations and police are scouring streets and dives in plain clothes. SAYS PEACE PACT AIMED AT SOVIETS Moscow Paper Explains How Russian Adherence Could be Got Berlin, Aug. 15.--In what may be considered as a final warning to the powers not to leave Soviet Russia got out of consideration in' signing the Kellogg multilateral treaty for the renunciation of war as an instrument of national pol- icy, the semi-official newspaper "Izvestia'" of Moscow yesterday explained how the adherence of the Soviet Government to the treaty may yet be obtained. The paper hints that if diplomatic dis~ cussions over the eventual entry Star "6' Coach, Ford 1-Ton Truck, Very Cheap. Chadburn Motor Co.

Kremlin Suspicious The editorial in "Izvestia,'" cap- tioned "The Kellogg Pact, the Powers and the Soviet Union,' makes it clear that the Kremlin actually suspects that the treaty is direced against the Soviet Tn ion--a suspicion probably arisin: from the British contention th Powers not recognized by the sig- natory nations ought not to be al- lowed to participate. The paper says: "The outlawry of war treaty will be signed in Paris by 15 pow- ers whose military freedom of ac- tion against the powers not in- cluded in the treaty is unhamper- ed. If the readiness of the Sov- fet- Union to discuss and sign the pact on an equal footing with oth- er states and on equal rights and privileges is not acknowledged hy positive steps on the other side only one interpretation is pos- sible, namely, that these nations do not wish to renounce war against the Soviet Union." WIFE T0 DIVORCE CONVICT HUSBAND Married After Escaping Prison, U.S. Man Again Behind Bars Los Angeles, Aug. 17.--William T. McKenzie, North Carolina, es- caped from priso nand started life prison cell and his wife is going to get a divorce. McKenzie, arrested here as an escaped murderer, told how he married his girl wife eight years ago, three years after he had es- caped fro mprison and started life anew. Two children were born. Then they quarrelled and Mrs, McKenzie went to her mother's home at San Fernando. A few days later officers arrested the fu- gitive. "She came to see me and she told me she was through." "I wondered why Eva did it, and I found out," McKenzie said be- tween the bars of his jail cell. *"All she wanted was a divorce, so she's sending me back to a cell so she can have it." "I guess I got it coming." "Will it cost her much? I could maybe scrape up enough money to pay for her divorce." McKenzie killed the brother of his first wife and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

BRANTFORD CAR WRECKED IN INGERSOLL ACCIDENT Ingersoll, Aug. 15.--At the western corporation limits 1ase night an expensive automobile be- longing to Colonel Harry Cockshutt of Brantford was badly wrecked. The car, in charge of Harry Palm- er, chauffeur, swerved into the ditch to avoid colliding with a N. Epstein, Toronto. Mrs. Palmer, who was an occupant of the car, was slightly injured. Both she and her husband were thrown under the car, and their escape was lit- tle short of miraculous.
