All are Stratford men and employees of the Ontario department of high- ways. The three men, comprising a survey party, left the city about 11 o'clock this morning and in lit- tle: more than an hour later their truck was struck and demolished at the crossing in Atwood. How the accident occurred is not yet known definitely, but witnesses beliete that Ritchie, the driver of the truck, did not see the express train approaching. The truck drove on to the crossing directly in the path of the train and en- gine crashed into the front of the light truck, * hurling it approxi- mately 40 feet along the tracks.

He was unconscious when picked up and .. removed to the office of Dr, D. A, Kidd in the village. Killer was j lying on the grass not far from + Todd. Ritchie, although bleeding badly from cuts and lacerations about the face, was rendering as- sistance to his two young em- ployees.

Officials of the railway company and other passengers had left The Pas Saturday noon, It had not generally been known that it would be possible to make the entire trip by train, The entire road is said to be in very good condition considering the length of time it has been in use. Gangs are still working at hallasting the track, but the line is" in such condition that passenger trains can travel into the north port at a fair rate of speed. The Muskeg reached Churchill Monday morning early and was greeted by the entire population of the Hudson Bay port, It is be- lieved that the Muskeg will make the Pus-Churchill return run again to bring down passengers from the Ungava, which docked Tues- day. The Hudson's Bay company carried into port prospecting par- ties from the sub-Arctic regions.

Municipal Levy Elmvale, Sept. 19.--Assumption by the government of the -entire cost of provincial highways will be one of the planks in the platform on which the Liberal party will stand in the coming election. Speaking here yesterday at the East Simcoe convention, for the first time since the issue of the Fergu- son manifestéy W. E. N.. Sinclair, Liberal leader, declared his opposi- tion to the present policy of collect- from the municipalities and promised ing 20 per cent. of the highway costs that if his party were clected 'the government would take the whole burden upon its own shoulders. Reiterating his statement that he stood behind every word of his Fort William speech on the liquor con- trol act, the Liberal leader charged that Conservative newspapers and politicians had misrepresented his words and had carried on a "whisp- ering" campaign.

FRANCE IS UNEASY OVER NEGOTIATIONS Wants to Know What Britain and U.S. Are Driving at Paris, Sept. 19.--French public op- inion is beginning to show traces »f uneasiness over the Anglo-American naval negotiations, fearing that they are intended to reach an Anglo-Sa- xon pact of much broader character than a mere agreement on disarma- ment, This uncasiness is illustrated in zn editorial of Le Temps yesterday eve- ning which is couched in rather forceful language, though the semi- official newspaper is noted for its careful and moderate utterances. The Temps asks exactly what the United States and the British are driving at. "The disarmament controvery is developing in confusion. The Labor government intends giving an entire- ly different orientation to the gen- eral foreign policy of Great Britain. "What is exactly 'the much broad- er agreement than a mere naval a€- cord' of which the recent British note speaks? The entire negotiations have a rather singular aspect and demand most serious attention of those who do not wish to be caught by the trend of events." Distrust Emphasized The French distrust of a possible Anglo-American" political entente was emphasized last night in the enterprising and widely-read news- paper Intransigeant. Its editor, Leon Dailby, character- izes the attempt of Lord Robert Ce- cil at Geneva to reopen the question of limitation of trained army reser- ves as a bold effort to weaken French national defence.

Henlon, a passenger, who fell overboard, will be consider= ed Friday afternoon when the oove crnors of the Royal Canadian Hu- mane Societv meet here. The pro posed recognition is the highest which the society can bestow and is given only in cases of outstanding valor. Only six gold medals have been awarded since the society was organized 35 years ago. Affidavits submitted by witnesses show that the brave fireman was 20 minutes battling with the wind and, waves before he brought Mrs, Hens lon within reach of a life-boat.

But on land Britain desires an an- archy which will permit her to reign supreme through dividing others." M. Balby goes on to ask where lies the good faith in the world's disarmament negotiations. He sees only quarrel, intrigue and dreams of political supremacy. "We are willing to disarm if there is good faith and national sccurity. But we shall neyer be so stupid as to permit others to league together to disarm France."
