Military Training Advocated in Uni. ed That Soldiers Swept the Coun try Into War. : Ottawa, No. 17.--The militia con- ference, which inet in the railway com- mittee rooms of the commons this morning, proved even more interest- ing than that of yesterday. General Colin Mackenzie, C. B., chief of the stall, gave an address, in which - he nrged the need for practical organiza- tion. He pointed out that it was es- sential that organization should be the same in time of peace as in war. He showed that the number of men trained last year was less than one per cent of the population, and laid stress upon the fact that there was loss training here than in England, vot- withstanding the difference in area of the two countries. Lieut.-Col. Fotheringham submitted a roport from a sub-committee advo- eating military training in the uni- versity. The report recommended the ereation of university and college bat- talions, which would furnish compe- tent and well-trained officers for mili- tia regiments. General Mackenzié cord- ially endorsed the idea. Rev. Mr. McMillan, of-Ha%fax, in endorsing the idea of training the youth in military matters, took oe casion to deny that it. was the sol diers who swept the country into war. 1t- was more. often the work of editors, of stock gpeculators, aml sometimes even of the pulpit. Major R. W. Leowrd, chairman of the transcontinental commdssion, made a practical speech, endorsing) che cadet movement and applauding the work being dome by the boy! scouts, i . General Myers, of the United Stats army, was given a hearty we eome. He complimented the Ca- nadian militia and luid stress upon military 'training which was given in the schools of the United States. He brought a message of greeting from his fellows to the officers of the Canadian militia, and trusted that their relations would always remain friendly. The delegates wore enterfained to lunches by tne minister of militia in the parliamentary restaurant. 1NE TEMERE DECREE CONDEMNED IN LONDON The Protestant Canadians Will), Stamp it Out Says A Dub- lin MN. P. London, Nov. 17.--At a largely at- tended meeting here, the Ne Temere decree was condemned. Lord Kinnaird said that such a decree from an alien power which claimed a whiversal Tight over many matiers must he resisted. Hon, J, H. M, Campbell, M.P. for Dublin University, asserted that the decree had become a grave scandal in Canada, where, he added, matters were becoming acute, and Protestant Ca- nadians were determined to stamp it out. "There is a deliberate . conspiracy," the speaker concluded, "to put this insolent, arrogant decree all over the world. Does anybody imagine that Mr. Gladstone or Lord Salisbury would have stood this decree for five minutes The Archbishop of Canterbury wrote to the meeting as follows: "Any branch of Christ's church must clear ly fave power to define the conditions of ita membership, but in my opinion it is much' to he regretted that by the promulgation of this deeree--even more, than by the language which ap- pears to have been sometimes used to secure obedience to it--the Roman Ca- tholic church should introduce confu- sion into domestic life and give rise to unnecessary, and disquieting doubts."

TOSSED. Crew Saved by Basket Apparatus on South Australian Coast----Fate of a Norwegian Barque. \ Melbourne, Nov. 17.---Driven ashore before a terrific gale, then swallowed up in the quicksands of the beach, was the fate which befel the Norwegiay barque Margin, off the South Austra- Jian const, near Kingston, last night. "A heavy suff had swept the - vessel from stem to stern, and the erew, af- ter frantic efforts, attracted the at- tention of a number of settlers on the shore. The ship, however, was at first unable to reach the shore, al- though only half a niile's distance se parated the crew from almost certain death and safety. Then the wind drove the vessel ashore. In a short time the barque began to subside, and it was discovered thut she was being caught in the grip of a vast quicksand area which was gra: dually swallowing the hull. The crew managed to get a rope ashore with the aid of a rocket, and by sliding in a basket down the rope from ship to shore the whole crew effected their escape. A few minutes afterwardg only the masts of the ill-fated ship were visible above 'the treacherous quicksands. _ DRESSES°THAT WERE WORN By Kingston Ladies at Opening of Parliament.
