Thirteen were killed or died asa result of injuries, and fourteen persons were drowned in the lakes and rivers. The most terrible tragedy was the level crossing crash near Cooksyille, in which four peoply were killed, three of them mem- bers of one Toronto family. There were, however, several other al- most equally tragic events. The McGarvey sisters, twins, of Kings- ton, were drowned in Collins' Lake. Frontenac County, and Milton and Reginald Storm, two brothers, went down at the same time, There was heroism as well as tragedy in many cases. Major Mont- gomery, of Crawford street, Tor- onto, gave his life while trying to rescue a companion at Virginia Beach. while Amode Arsenault lost his life in saving his wife at Rem Lake, inthe" far north. wh Twin Sisters Drown Marion and Mary McGarvey, 14- year-old daughters of Edward Mc Garvey of Kingston, were bathing at Collins lake yesterday. It is believ- ed that one of them went beyond her depth and that the other went to her rescue. No one knew of the tragedy' until a search for the miss- ing girls ended finally in dragging operations for the bodics. Within two miles of the spot and less than 24 hours later, young Regi- nald Storms, aged 14, and his bro- ther Milton, 16, were in a boat with companions when the craft capsized. Neither of the boys could swim and sank immediately. Two other boys, one aged 13.and the other 8, met death in the waters of northern lakes, The highways have taken a heavy toll during the week end, 10 lives in alt having been clainied by auto traf- fic. ~~ Toronto Man Drowns Lindsay, July 15--~While five To- ronto young people were in bathing at Virginia Beach, Lake Simcoe, yes- terday afternoon, Major Montgomery of Crawford street, Toronto, was drowned.

Two Children Burnto Death (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Ont., July 15--Two chil- dren lost their lives and five others suffered serious burns and injuries when fire raged through a double tenement house on the Merivale road, just outside the city limits, early this morning. The dead, are, Frank Cutler, aged 10, and his cousin, Melba Happerfield, aged 11. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cutler, par- ents of the ill-fated children and members of their family, suffere burns and bruises. Mrs. Cutler and two sons escaped the flames by leap- ing from upstairs windows into blan- kets held by neighbors. They were bruised and slightly burned. Mr. Cutler sustained minor burns in at- tempting to enter the blazing struc- ture. He discovered the fire at six o'clock as he was returning home from his duties as night watchman in a nearby lumber yard. His fran- tic attempts to gain entrance to the house fell before the flames and smoke. He then shouted warnings to occupants of the houses adjoining his own before turning in a fire alarm, After demolishing the Cutler home, the flames leaped to neighborin residences, destroying two an damaging a third.

French Aviators Undaunted By Fate of Polish Fliers (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Paris, Juy 15.--Although the at- tempted trans-Atlantic air race ofr the aeroplanes Marshal Pilsudski and the Question Mark ended in failure and the death of one of the Polish fliers, the French aviators, Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bel- lonte, still undaunted, will try again, Neither the failure of their own flight nor the tragedy at the Azor- es, where the Polish aeroplane Marshal Pilsudski crashed Saturday night after developing: motor trouble, killing Major Louis Idzikowski and injuring his mate, Casimir Kubala, discouraged the Frenchmen in their determination to blaze an air trail from Paris to New York. After getting a perfect start in the attempt to cross the Atlantic last Saturday, Coste and Bellefonte far out to sea. decided to turn back o Paris because of the terrific winds and the effect upon the sweru- plane's fuel supply. They over- came the hazards of the storm and; rain and landed at Villa Coublay airport, outside of Paris, after hav- ing flown 3,350 miles. "What happened to the Poles?" was the first question Coste sau av the United Press reporter who shook hands with them when he came out of his cabin at the air- port, The news of the tragedy was a great shock to both French- men, who had known the Poles for a long time and who had great re- spect for their abiliy. '""We are very tired," Coste sald, "but it was a great experience. We will try again." "On our outward journey we met bad weather 300 miles from the coast," Bellonte said. "The hailstones were as big as chicken eggs. There was a fierce adverse wind. Wé were able to go little better than 50 miles an hour."

John Cox, aged 42, 851 Glad- stone avenue; his sons, Jask, ageu 17, and Kenenth, aged 15, and Jack Rigg, aged 16, 791 Gladstono avenue, were all fatally injured when the light touring car in which they were driving to Toron- to was struck by an electric radial car on its way to Guelph. Mr. Cox, his son Jack and the Rigg boy was almost instantly kill- ed, while Kenneth Cox died later, ten minutes after reaching St. Jo- seph's hospital. The car in which they were trav- elling east along the road, whicn 1» dan improved gravel highway, was struck side-on by a single electric car going west. The impact was such that the automobile was liter- ally smashed to atoms, pieces be- ing tossed into the ditch to either side of the single track. The bod- ies of the four were similarly hurl- ed to he side, wreckage and bodies being found spread over a distance of about 300 feet from the cross- ing all the way along the track. The man and three youths were returning from a camping ground on the banks of the Credit river near Creditvale, where they had been enjoying a week-end fishing jaunt.

If then the demands are not met, an ultimatum, delivered to the Chin- ese Charge 'D'Affairs. Saturday night said, the Soviet Union will be cun- pelled to resort "to other means in defence of the US.S.R's 'legal rights." Moscow's ultimatum was written Saturday, and on Saturday night, signed by L. N. Karakhan, vice-com= missar for Foreign Affairs, and form« er passador to: Ching, was placed 'inn the hands of 'M. Liao'S. K."Liae, the Nanking Government's Charge. After warning vaguely of retribue tive measures if China does not acq« uicsce in its terms, the ultimatum continued with an offer of the oliva branch, saying' that notwithstanding "violent and provocative actions of the Chinese authorities it once morg expressed its willingness fo enter ne« gotiations with China regarding all questions connected with the Chine ese Eastern Railway." : 4 The ultimatum then said such nee gotiations would be possible only in the event of immediate release - of arrested citizens of the Soviet Re« publics, and cancellation of "all ill« egal orders" by Chinese authorities. The Red Star, official organ of the Red army and navy, warned China in the name of the armed forces, saying that "the Red Army will know how to make decisive resistance to all attempts against the Soviet un« ion," This newspaper stresses the need of immediate mobilization of the armed forces and putting the workers in readiness. The newspaper Izvestia asserted today that the Government was a« ware of the seriousness of the situa« tion and said the Soviet had suffi« cient means to defend its rights and legal interests. All the newspapers declare that China is distinctly mise taken if it interprets Russia's pa<« tience in the situation for weakness, The note to China was handed ta the Chinese Charge 'D'Affaires herq yesterday. It stated that the Mukden Treaty had been violated by China, It pointed out that Russia had bee friendly to the Chinese Governmen on several occasions, and had don many friendly acts, including the vol« untary denunciation of extra terri« torial rights and the Boxer indemni¢ ties. It also pointed out that Russig had been willing to discuss the dis« pute of the railway. "Remaining true to the peace pol icy of the Soviet government," the note said, "despite 'the violent pro vocative action of the Chinese authe orities, we again express our reade iness. to negotiate with China all the complex questions connected with the railroad. "Such negotiations are only posse ible on condition of the immediatd release of the arrested Soviet citiz< ens and the abrogation of all illegal actions on the part of the Chinese authorities." 5 : of he note urges the immediate sums< moning of a conference to regulate all the disputes in connection with the Eastern Chinese Railway. Mean while the Soviet Government abro- gate all willful actions toward the railroad and that the persecution of Soviet citizens in Manchuria cease at once. : "The Soviet Government proposes to the Mukden Government and ta the National Government of the Chi« nese Republic to weigh all the ser« ious consequences which will result ° from the rejection of the proposals, The Soviet Government will await a- reply. to the prope sals for three days. It warns that in the event it has not received a. satisfactory ans« wer it will be forced to resort to other means for the protection of the legal rights of the Soviet Un- ion.
