Chancellor Announced by +. Board Chairman Toronto, Vsopt, 12.--Completing a geryice of over a score of years, Rev. R. P, Bowles, D.D., chancellor of" Vietoria university, is retiring from the position he has occupied for. the past 16 years. The an- nouncément of Chancellor Bowles' retirement was made yesterday by Hon. N. W. Rowell, K.C., chairman of the board of regents, following a meeting of that body. Mr. Rowell presented Dr. Bowles' resignation at the meeting yester- day afternoon. The chancellor had deliveted his resignation to the board last June, and it was formal- ly accepted yesterday. Dr. Bowles was present and explained that as he had now reached the age fixed in the bylaws of the college for the retirement of professors, he felt that he should be allowed to retire and be relieved of any further re- sponsibilities as soon as his succes- sor. can be chosen. " Dr. Bowles expressed his appre- ciation of the support and co-opera- tion of the board in the past, and of the faculty and students during his term of office. He stated that his decision to retire is final and not open for reconsideration. The members of the board ex- pressed their warm appreciation of the services rendered by Dr. Bow- Tes to Victoria university, and re- gretted his decision to retire.' At the chancellor's request a special committee was appointed to consid- er a successor. In the meantime Dr. Bowles resignation will be held in abeyance. Dr. Bowles was born and raised on a farm near Mono Road in Peel county. He attended old Victoria university at Cobourg, where he studied under the late Chancellor Burwash, later taking individual post graduate studies under Dr. Burwash. When the latter became chancellor, Dr. Bowles was actively engaged in ministerial duties, but later joined Vjctoria as professor in homiletics. In 1913, at the age of 48, he accepted the post of chan- cellor, succeeding his old teacher and-friend; Chancellor Burwash.

ENDORSES EMPIRE PARLEY Committee Authorized to Communicate With the Government Edmonton, Sept. 12.--A resolu- tion endorsing the holding of a conference of commercial and in- dustrial leaders throughout the various parts of the Empire was passed unanimously at yesterday afternoon's session of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce convention.

PARTS BY ROAD SYSTEM Motorbuses Penetrate Backward Regions as Long-Distance Routes Open Peiping--Chinese officials are considering proposals for recon- struction of the war-torn country, but the money for them, is not forthcoming. One project, however, has made headway during the past year, and that is the construction of automobile highways in several provinces, which open up hitherto isolated districts to the outside world. Some. highways have been built under the direction of the China In- to ternational Famine Relief Associa- tion, with its American enginters, but perhaps more significance may be attached to those which have been built by the Chinese, with no foreign advice or assistance, The Chinese Bureau of Economic Information reports that five great highways have been opened to mo- to traffic during the past fei months, and that 13 other hign- ways have been 'partially complet ed, and will be finished during the summer. Chinese engineers have also drawn plans for 11 others, and when these have been completed, China will have a finer highway system than in the most prosperous days of the empire. Chinese officials have been im- pressed by the fact that the high- Ways already completed have paid for themselves within a short time, In a country where labor is so cheap the cost of construction is not great, and highway building' is especially useful in times when so many men and women are out of work. As a rule, the provincial governments which build the high- ways have shared in the purchase of motorbuses which use them, and the profits from these enterprises have been quick and substantial. The Chinese farmers have taken readily to'the new vehicles, and au- tomobile buses now run into dis- tricts which had never seen such conveyances a year or two ago. Some of the greatest progress has been made in Shansi, which has been known as the "model prov- ince" under the beneficient rule of Marshal Yen Hsi-shan. Some 300 miles were completed before the civil wars stopped the work. Since then an additional 1,000 miles has been completed, and another 2,000 miles is contemplated during the summer.
