Sutherland, who saw in the vouth of fifteen one of the most pro- mising hockeyists that Kingston would ever produce. Mr. Suther- land's judgment was vindicated by the brilliant work of the hoy on the junior Frontenac team.

Burnham, Conservative, Crith cized the Government And Said It Had Better Go To the Country and /Knock Out the Canadian Naval Idea. (Special to the Whig) Ottawa, March 29. During the discussion of the war appropriation act in the Commons this morning J. P. Burnham, Conservative, of East Peterboro, was responsible for some interesting observations in regard to the probable future naval develop- ments in Canada. He severely criticized the Govern- ment for allowing itself to be forced by the Opposition to make increased naval expenditures, declaring that the socner the Government got to the country and knocked out the Cana- dian naval idea the better. Sir Wil- frid Laurier touched lightlw on the remarks of the member for Peter- boro and said that the time was com- ing when the choice would have to be .made between the Canadian ravy and a policy of contribution. In the House of Commons, Mr. Hazen, Minister of Marine, said that since the war broke out, the naval expenditures had amounted to $3,791,608. He estimated an ad- ditional expenditure of three millions for the year commencing April 1st. An estimate for the military ex- pendityre, under the war vote, was then presented to the House by, Gen- eral Hughes. It was proposed dur- ing the year to spend ninety-five mil- lions, the chief items being as fol- lows: Pay for 45,000 men $15,000,000; rations, $7,000,000; transport, $18, 000,000; rifles, etc. $3,000,000 stores and equipment, $15,000,000; artillery, $3,000,000 and remounts, $2,000,000. Col: Hughes, Hon!' commander of the 21st Battalion at Kingston, and brother of General Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, was the first wit- ness in the boot enquiry this morn- inz. He testified that as a result of the fact that within a few weeks of the issue of boots a number of them, "went to pieces," he had directed an enquiry. It was found that the soles and heels were spongy "resmbling wet moccasins more than military boots and some went entirely 0 pieces. TRAINING PELICANS T0 ATTACK AIRSHIPS Dutch Bird Trainer Says They Will Consti'ute Menace to Air Pilots. (Special to the Whig.) The Hague, March 29.---Herr Hoogstraen, the noted Delft bird trainer, to-day solemnly assured) newspaper correspondents that he is] training a great flock of pelicans to attack military aeroplanes. i "The experiments have been pro- ceeding ever since the war broke out," said Herr. Hoogstraen. The | pelicans fear a German taube no more than a fish. They are excep- tionally clever. With their sharp, pointed beaks they will constitute a real menace to air pilots." . BUY FISHERY RIGHTS, Pay Over $1,000,000 For Plant of Big Company. Toronto, March. 29.--Thé purchase of the Standard Fisheries, Limited, of Vancouver, involving an expenditure of over ¥ £00,000, © by Joseph Swit and a number of local capital. | ists, has been announced.
