Ten persons met death, four are missing and twenty are injured. ' A washout, due to recent heavy rains, was the cause of the disaster, which occurred just below the cantis lever bridge, and sixty feet below Whe point where the ooth waters of the upper reaches Of the Niagara below the falls break into the turbu- lent waves of the Whirlpool rapids. The car had all but completed the circuit of the Gorge, having crossed from the Canadian side of the river on the trolley bride at Lewiston, There were more than fifty passen- gers on board, according to general estimates. The car was one of the open type, the seats extending from side to side, with steps on both sides the full length of the car.

It was successful though and I managed to get four Hun ma- chines, two two-seaters and two of their latest scouts, these were all confirmed by other pilots who saw them go down; I am certain I got two more but as I didn't have time to watch them actually crash I only put them down as out of control. I got into a scrap with four scouts the other day and got one of them, (confirmed) and saw my bullets (tracers) go into another, but was too busy to watch him down.

SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN FAILS IN ITS OBJECT Cannot Bring England To Her Knees--What T. P. O'Connor Says. Washington, July 3.-- "The trans- tation of thousands of American tr to France without a mishap through Germany's submarine zones is the handwriting on the wall." This statement was made yester- day by T. P. O'Connor, Irish mem- ber of the British parliament, who is 'here to lay the facts of the Irish home rule situdtion before President Wilson. "The submarine campaign," he d clared, "is a serious matter, but in- sofar as its ability to bring England to her knees or block the mobiliza- tion of American forces is concerned, it has proved a dismal failure. So far it has not prevented the trans- portation of a single British or Am- erican soldier to the fighting front."

Kent, manager of the London Loan Company, of this city, of guilt in case of misconduet with Barfitt's wife, of which he was convicted 17 years ago. The signature of Bar- fitt's widow is also attached to the confession, which admits the case against Kent to have been a frame- up, in which he was mulcted out of $1,100 by blackmail. = War Sreece has called the classes of 1916 and 1917 to the colors.
