As the result of serious charges laid by three of his sisters to W.

Whiting, crown attorney, de- clared that the story they had told to Mr. Wyllie was false. Mr. Whiting had in his possession a statment signed by the three girls, in which they made charges against | their brother. This statement was| read over to the girls by Mr, Whit-| ing, and they stated that it was all false. Questioned by the magistrate as to why they should want to make such charges against their brother if there was no truth in them, all thé girls had to say was that they should have expire on September 16th, will be extended to enable the holders to get rid of the hard stuff, and subséquent- [ly the licensees will be given licenses to sell four per cent. heer and also wines. The traveller said that Gov- ernment would be' forced to make this concession, from the party and the public standpoint. He explained that the delay in securing a Govern- ment candidate in South Toronto was due to the fact that the party was demanding an extens'on of the present licenses and then a granting of licenses to sell beer and Wines. @ party workers realize that it is impossitle to carry the seat if the new temperance regulations are not altered, Then, according to this traveller, the bars must be allowed to do busi~ ness, if the hotels are not to be closed up.

Colonel Hughes left the battalion on the 15th to take command of a brigade in the 4th division. Major Jones, formerly of Brockville--and Vancouver, ik now in command, with Major Elmett formerly of the 43rd Battalion, Canadian Militia, Ottawa, second in command. Both these offi- cers have many friends in Kingston, where they resided with the battalion during the winter of 1914-15, Under their direction it is safe to say that the reputation of the battalion will not diminish. Lieut. Cunningham is now acting adjutant, and an idea of the casual- ties may be gathered from the fact that he is now the seventh officer from the top. Notwithstanding this, he is still only a subaltern. Kenneth Taylor, son of Jeremy Taylor, of the Bank of BritishNorth America, is now with the 21st. On the morning of the 20th the battalion Jost an officer, Lieut. Thompson, who came to them from the 59th Battalion. Lieut.
