Telephone Economy head- | has the following:--A man, WAS J. HAINES, NAPANEE, JOHN MARTIN OF WOODSTOCK? Napaneee Chief of Police Trying To - Solve A Mystery--Woodstock Peo- ple Are Somewhat Uncertain, The Woodstock Sentinel Review aged about sixty-five, who gave his name as James Haines, and said he was in- terested in the moving picture busi- ness in Woodstock, was seized with a fit on the street in Napanee last Friday morning, and died in that town on the following Monday: Yes- terday, B. H, Whitehead, proprietor | of the Opera House Drug store here, y sister | | ! | | i | received a letter from iF, W. Barrett, chief constable in Napanee, which sald that among some papers in the dead man's pocket, he found his (Whitehead's) address. The con- stable askd for any information available regarding the man. Inquiries regarding the identity of Haines, revealed the fact that a man, answering generally to the descrip- tion given by the constable in Nap- . anee, had been employed in Griffin's Opera House as a licensed fireman, but had gone under the name of John Martin, and had boarded at the home of Edward Radford, on Broadway street. Further inquiry resulted in the information that he had told the people where he lived at, because of the fact that there are so many peo- ple of the name of John Martin liv- ing #® Woodstock, his mail very of- ten did not reach him, and other complications were continually aris- ing, and for that reason he would call himself James Haines. Two weeks seo hy left the city saying that 'he was ing to Brockville, to see a brother who had met with an acci- dent, Before going, he told Mr. Rad- ford that he was to get his mail, and keep it for him until he returned. The next development was the com- munication received by Mr. White- head from Napanee. Mr, Griffin thinks that the man is the same one who worked for him during the winter, and according to the description given, Edward Rad- ford is of the same opinion. But here a complication arises. A lady who knew Martin very well says she saw him on the street in Woodstock this morning and that he spoke to her. It is said that there is a man in the city who greatly resembles Martin and it might have been this person who was mistaken for the man pre- sumed to be dead. Martin was said to be very well off. He owned property in this city, and also had some property west of Chatham. In addition he is said to have money invested in the state of Iowa, where he also owned some land. He was described as a man who had saved dis money. The Real Menace. Jondon, April 12.--The Times in an editorial says it is glear we still hold the crest of Messines Ridge. The teal mendce in the further hrogress of the present attack is that it may imperil our possession of the valu- able ridges east of Ypres. "The plain truth is that our iroops .are once more in the thick of a desperate conflict whereon the whole fortunes of our forces in France may eventu- ally turn." Mayor Church has urged for mere ship orders in Torontes . claiming that the Dominion Government should divert more business to. the city.

BULGARS REPLACE GERMANS IN WEST Wounded Teutons Being Dis= tributed From Aix=la= Chapelle. The Hague, April 12.----According to a report from a reliable source, Bulgarian and Austrian troops are re- placing German troops at some Gers man garrisons, Very large numbers of wounded are being distributed to Aix-la-Cha- pelle to places in the neighborhood. Not far from the Dutch frontier, on the route from Aix to Vaals, is' a large factory kmown locally as the English Factory, which has been con- verted into a hospital, and 3,000 | wounded have already been received there. Every effort is made to con- ceal the extent of the losses from the German public. Transports take the large largely of ordinary closed trucks, as the supply of Red Cross cars is inadequate, and the flooring of the trucks is usually covered with thin layers of straw, but this is not always so, In some cases the wound- ed lie on bare boards. . At Aix thousands of wounded ar- rive daily, and many of the dressings of the men have never been properly bound. The sights, as & consequence are sometimes distressing. Despite precautions, the facts regarding the losses leak out and the obvious ans xiety to conceal them only arouses in- creased curiosity on that part of the public 'which has an inkling of the facts, Hence there-are rumors of great defeats, whereto the local press calls attention, IN Aix. it is estim- ated that in the early days of the of- fensive, roughly a hundred thousand wounded were brought through the city, the majority being sent on far- ther after one or two days. reer VESSELS CAME TO GRIEF James B. Foote, Toronto, Claims Interest. A. B: MacKay, formerly of Hamil- ton, but now of Buffalo, is defend- ant in a suit bronght before Justice Rose, Toronto, by Capt. James B, Foote, Toronto, for an accounting or the amount alleged to de but him as a result of dealings he claims to have had with the deféndant in steamships. The plaintiff alleges that in 1913 he and the defendant bought the Turret Chief, one of the boats whith came to grief in the big storm on the Upper Lakes that fall, The boat was abandoned by the owners, and was bought from the insurance com- Capt. ed, went wit cargo from Chicago to' Lolth, where she was sold to a firm which put her into the Archan- gel trade. Thé price paid by the firm at Leith, he says, was £30,250. In December, 19165, the Algonglun was bought for $80,000, and in her Foote claims to have had a five per cent. interest, paid for out of his shave of the profits on the sale of the Turret Ohief, which he" ed in the defendant's pos mn. This vessel was sold two months later, and was torpedoed while making her first trip to Britain for her new own- er. . The plaintiff claims that he got none of the money received for her by Mackay, who negotiated the sale. The defendant denies that the plain- tiff ever had an interest in either of the boats.
