New > , April 5.-- Rear Admiral Hedri Baar of the French navy, who retired from service through ij. health. just before the war, arrived Saturday on the steamship Chicago from Bordeaux, to make a tour of the Udited States. In an interview he scouted the idea of the German navy having submarines that could steam eighteen knots on the surface and the threats to destroy all the French and English commerce on the high seas. "When the war commenced," he said, "the Germans had about 37 submarines. With those which have recently been constructed and sub- structed, they may have been des- teoyed,~they may have forty-five in use at the present time. "The reason the submarines have been able to go as far as Cape Finis terre is because they are towed by! steam or motor fishing trawlers down the channel.

Otfawa, April 5.--It Bas leaked out here that the striking out of the clause in the new Provincial Liquor License * bill prohibiting hotelmen from serving drinks to soldiers in uniform in Ontario was due to Fed- eral infiuence, brought to bear upon Premier Hearst early last week. It is a matter of general knowledge that the first announcement of the intention of the Provincial Govern- ment to make such a provision cre- ated considerable consternation among the Federal Ontario members in the Commons here, who feared that the discrimination agatost the soldiers would be strongly resented by -thousands-of uniformed men in the Province. At present the Government here is considering a bill to extend the veto .to all soldiers, and Federal Con- servative members felt that the Pro- vinelal Legislation would be prejudi- cial to their cause in Ontario.
