Northrup, Manager a. Gk. Words, MADRE: KELLY HAS DISAPPEARED, The first" Royal Commission at , Winnipeg has, for the present, com- pleted its task. It has not had Thomas Kelly, contractor, before it, because he has disappeared. He is somewhere. in the United States. According to the architect's ' state- ment he wag allowed to overcharge enprmously on his contract on condi- tion that he contribute liberally to the Coaservative election fund. When the English architect, whose plan wag originally accepted, ques- tioned the excessive expenditure, he was told that this was the only way of getting campaign money. It in- volved fraud on a large plan. When the Royal Commission be- gan its enguiry Kelly's counsel chal lenged iis power to go into the de- tails of his businéss.. The scope of the investigation was thereupon en- larged. Meanwhile the question was how Kelly would fare should he be forced #0 give evidence which would later be used in a civi] suit against him. This was the feature which the judges discussed: with Kelly's counsel in an entirely honor- able manner. 'There never was at any time the suggestion of compro- mise. Kelly was given to under stand, however, that the Commission would not be hampered in its work, and that if he did not answer a sub- poena when wanted he would be ar- rested, Then he disappeared, and in doing so he has complicated mat. ters very much, in so far as he Is personally concerned. Sooner or later he will have to make restitu- tion, Sooner or later he will be found and punished for his contempt of the Commission, There have been imsinuations to the effect that Kelly would not be prosecuted. = The Attorney-General in the new Government, when told that it might not do to push him too hard, replied that the Government had nothing to fear, and that it would do its duty ahd clean up the scandal. Kelly's disappearance for the time being wil] not save him from the pillory later on. nat ------ Canada has a million unfilled shells on hand and wants no more. Cannot the manufacturers combine upon a plan to fill the shells by a new division of labor? Mr. Thomas, the British agent of Llsyd-George, should be able to settle this question satis- factorily. DOES CANADA SCARE? The New « York Tribune makes much of the story that the German Admiralty contemplates sending to Canada a fleet of submarines to torpedo ships carrying munitions of war and troops of Britain. The larger part of America's 'produc- tions in shells" snd yu. Dt snd and little, are said to! Canada since. the United rigs will not prevent the "export of them, Ger- them. pre and a former employee of ihe. Uhited Staten, SHAKY he' Ses.

Of | colirse, the cruisers and torpedoes | that are now doing duty in the Gulf, | and which would be present in much | larger nuinber when "there 4s ocecas- fon for it, will all become 'idle or depart in order that German schemes may materialize! The Tribune has elaborated a very interesting story, one of greater -interest to the Unit- ed States than to Canada, since the German anger and it usually demon- strates its quality in acts of a pirati- eal character. Simonds, who writes about the war tor the Review of Reviews, says that Britain has accomplished svery little so far, which shows how far Ger- "man sentiment influences a man and obscures his vision. It will take columns in which to recite what Brit- ain has done, LARGER RESERVES REQUIRED. Lord Kitchener's speech, in Lon- don, to a popular assembly, had the desired effect. It gratified the masses who dearly Yoved a hero, and their worship of the Minister of War under: the circum- stances. Kitchener had been as- sailed, ruthlessly and relentlessly, by press. His judg ment had been Questioned, His management of the War Department had been challenged. He had been silent under all Bis, and, soldier fashion, calmly pursued the even tenor of his way. or public opinion demanded a glimpse of the man in action, and his appearance and speech were the re- sult, It is a sign of his greatness that he could confine his attention to the great issues of the hour, The Bfit- ish forces in battle had won distinc: tion. The Colonials in Flanders, at the Dardanelles, in Egypt, and South but the work was not complete. The larger army -- and it must now nam- ber about three millions --~ requires the larger reserves, and that means more men, material, and , money. Hence the appeals to the nation and the recruiting which is, beipg stimu- lated in all parts of the British Em- pire, with encouraging results. One announcement of Lord Kite: ener has been hailéd 'with satisfac- tion. It is that the equipment of the Empire is ample for all purposes, and that the recrui ,0f the men can be carried on withoutdelay. The munitions were npt. referred*{o be- cause Lord Kilchener. hag thing todo with them now; : hatever was the purpose of. giving ; Wiscount Haldane a special 1a iW, no one can conceive, but it seetfia that the incident has occasioned a fresh as- sault upon the Government and that Lloyd-George feels that he has been placed in an awkward position. Can- ada used to logk to the Mother Coun- try for examples of what public men should do in certain emergencies, and the view it gets of a quarrel among the seasoned statesmen, at this crisis in the Empire, is not a helpful one. EDITORIAL NUTES, Germany give a safe { conduct across the seas on Ge ny's eondi- tions! Germany could not give a safe passages of jts dear Dr. Dern- berg, and he had to sue Britain for that. The advice of the British Admir- alty, that all merchantmen passing through the war zone should arm Is good. - If the advice were acted up- oh the menace from the submarines would quickly disappear. ---------- Napoleon's idea that money means everything in war, been discount- ed by later experiences. has translated the sentiment to read, "Men, Material, Money," and all these are essential in the present campaign. er, is satisfied that people eat too much and suffer physically in conse- quence.

Gulfport, Miss., July 12.--Upton Sinclair created a scene Saturday at the trial of his former wife's suit to gain possession of their 13-year-old son, by rushing into the. courtroom with the declaration that there were "things the court should know," and begging Judge Denny to hear him.

Rochester, N.Y., July 12.--An an- nouncement which may foreshadow | the abandonment of the Prohibition | party was made in Rochester Satur. | day by two of the men who figure as | national leaders in the anti-liquor movement--Eugene W. Chafin, of Arizona, who has twice been a candi- date for president of the Uaited Stat- es, and C. P. Hall, of California, one of the most influential of the nation- al advocates. Instead of setting up a national ticket of their awn, the policy of the Prohibitionists next year will be to force one of the stronger parties, Re- publican or Democratic, to adopt a prohibition plank that will leave no loophole for non-enforcement after election. Five million voters pledg- ed to prohibition will be the club us- ed to force the adoption of such"a plank, and if the next presidential contest is as close as seems likely now, the 'antf-saloon element will come near to holding the enviable position of "balanée of power." In the event that neither of the big parties degides to back the pros hibition program, signers of the &;- 000,000 pledges will hold a conven- tion of their own and set up an inde< pendent ticket, as. before, eitlier by meaans of the old Prqghibition party machinery or by organizing a new party to carry on the same fight un- der a new banner. The convention, if one is necessary, will be held at Minneapolis on July 18th of next ¥ Mr. Chafin and Mr. Hall made an- nouncément of the hew policy last night at a series of meetings in Roch- ester churchés. They are touring the country by automobile in the inter- ésts of their cause and plan to open a hundred day campaign in Massach- usetts on behalf of William E. Shaw, international secretary of the Christ- ian Endeavor Society, who will run for governor of that state on a Pro- hibition ticket. According to Mr, Hall, Senator Al bert B, Cummings, of Iowa, author of the famous baggage illimitatiof law, will fight the battle of the Pro- hibitists at the next Republican con- vention. "Senator Cummins will make nis fight for the presidential nomination on a Prohibition platform," said Mr. Hall, "He may not obtain the no- mination--it is probable that he will not--but he will make prohibition a live issue in the national convention, and that will be oné more step in its progress. A sinfilar procedure will bé followed in the Democratic con- vention, and the issue will thus+be forced to a decision either way, Pap- ties anxious Tor prohibition' votes ill have to come out square with a platform plank that will leave no room for dodging after election."
