Flagship of Britain Saves a Dying Child THE BYE-ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN Are Creating Much Interest-- Several Members Must Face Re-election. London, April 5.--While the great- ness of the isswes involved in the coal strike overshadows all other matters in Great Britain, there is nevertheless in political circles, keen interest in the bye-elections made necessary by the recent ministerial appointments. The promotion of Lord Edmund Talbot to the vice-roy- alty of Ireland vacates Chichester, a seat which he has held for the Un- lonists since 1894. Capt. Guest's ap- pointment as secretary to the minis- try of air necessitates his re-election in East Dorset. Stanley Baldwin, who is accepting the presidency of the board of trade, is asking a renewal of the confidence of his constituents in the Bewdley division of Worces- tershire, which he has represented since 1908. Frank Kellaway, representing Bed- ford; Sir John Gilmour, representing the Pollock division of Glasgow, and Colonel Gibbs, representing West Bristol, affected by the cabinet changes, will all have to seek re-elec- tion, London, April 5.--The great bat- tleship Queen Elizabeth, Admiral Beatty's flagship of the Grand Fleet, saved the life of a tiny babe of the same name in the Bay of Biscay this week by answering a call from the steamship Venetian, which was bound homeward. The child's life was ebbing rapidly when the warship was signalled for help. The Queen Elizabeth stopped and launched a boat which, despite the heavy sea, reached the steamship, and a doctor from the warship boarded her. He was able to save the life of the infant.

Twen- ty-five men are employed and the company expects that the number will be increased in the very near future. There is a great demand across the border. Hydro power will mean a great thing for the people wro live in and about Verona, as there are a large number who are entirely dependent on the mines for a living. It is stated by those in a position to know that there is a good chance of the hydrc-electric commission putting out a line from Kingston, as there are So many people who have signified a desire to use the ".irent, The fact that the mining concerns want to get power ,will be another reason why the commission | will decide to construct a line, ff 5 . for feldspar, which is all shipped | | Quebec, April 5.--An indignation | meeting of residents of Champlain | street was held to protest against | statemsnts of engineers that there is | no immediate danger of a rock slide A ver-|only just discerning the first flicker | from the summit of Cape Diamond.

DRURY WILL NOT TAKE A POSTION ON HYDRO Said That W. H. Casselman, Member For Dundas, May Succeed Lucas. Toronto, April 6.--In the legisla- ture yesterday afternoon, Hon. W. E. Raney brought in a bill to amend County Judges Act. This makes it possible to increase the number of junior judges for the County of York from three to five. This does not mean five permanent judges, but the permission to call in outside judges. This will make the County of York a special district. " Premier Drury said there was ab- solutely no truth in the rumor that he was going to accept a place on the Hydro Commission. He would not think of doing so. When pressed by Hon. G. H.

"Will you say it was never moot- ed?" asked Mr. Dewart, "Oh, I'm not going to say what has been mooted," replied the prem- ier. THINK AWARD IS FAIR.. Ottawa is Pleased Over Judgment in Bell Telephone Case, Ottawa, April 5.--General satis- faction with the telephone decision of the Board of Railway Commis- sioners was expressed among téle- phone users, large and small, of Ot- tawa yesterday. Summed up, popular opinion is that an increase of 10 per cent. is reasonable and just and that the disallowing of the proposed measur- ed service system is satisfactory and proper. On' every hand it was con- ceded that if the Bell Telephone Company is entitled to increased re- venue, the amount allowed is a fair 6ne in view of all circumstances. Merchants were unanimous in ex- pressing their satisfaction «with the judgment of the Railway Commis- sion, and in view of the fact that the Ottawa Board of Trade conceded before the hearing that ar increase of 20 per cent. on the flat rates would be reasonabl: and the Canad- fan Manufacturers' Association it- self suggested a two per cent. in- crease, both on condition the mea- sured service Tate proposal was drop- ed, There was not a little pleasure mixed with the satisfaction. * * WAGON CRASHES OVER +4 BRIDGE INTO RIVER ¢ -* Owen Sound, April 5--A heav- ¢ ily' loaded wagon craghed # through a bridge over the Sy- 4 denham river.

NEWSPAPER COSTS Forty Per Cent. Higher in Britain Than In 1919. London, April 65.--Sir Charles Eves. addressing the shareholders of the Illustrated London News and Sketch, Ltd., said that the two im- portant problems with which they had been faced were those of mater- jals and labor. The cost of paper, which during 1919 had risen to what appeared then nearly the breaking point, had still further increased, and during the latter months of the per- iod under review it was between 30 per cent. and 40 per cent. higher than in the corresponding months of the previous year. Wages had also continued, to increase, their total charge for the past year under this head being something over 45 per cent. above that for 1919. The net result of these increased charges was a trading profit of about £32,292, as compared with £47,573 for the pre- vious year. This profit when added to the balance brought forward gave more than sufficient to meet the pre- ference dividend, but the board were unable to recommend any dividend at the present time, It might be thought, he added, that the days of their prosperity were over but he did not believe that was the case. With the return to more normal conditions--with a reduction in the price of paper, which was now in prospect, and with a reduction in wages, which he hoped they might look for in view of falling prices-- he could not help thinking that there were very much better times in front of the company.

There has been much destruction of roads, and in many cases intimidation has bee resorted to. The Sinn Feiners invari- ably disappear on the approach of crown forces, the official reports say. A fight occurred Sunday night in the hills near Dundrum, four miles south of Dublin. Crown forces haa proceeded to the hills in lorries to investigate reports of firing. They found twenty armed men, some of whom, after firing at the military, mingled with women and children who were picnicking, for which rea» son the crown forces refrained from veing their machine guns. They pur- sued the others, however, who were escaping to another hill, and shot shrubbery on the hillside and escao- ed in the smoke screen.

New York, April 5--Turkish light- bouse keepers and striking mariners have no appeal for Captain Hezap- * pos, of the Greek liner Megali Hellas, arriving here with 300 Greek "pic- fare" brides, who paused between his many duties to tell what had bap- pened to his ship during the voyage from Constantinople and Piraeus, He» said that on the night following the sailing of the Megali Hellas from Constantinople, when she was about to enter the Dardanelles from the Sea of Marmora, he suddenly found the vessel hard aground on a mud bank.

Next he wirelessed tc Athens for assistance and was in- formed that a marine strike was in progress and no help could be sent Captain Hezappos sald that he waited four days and on the morning { of the fifth tugs were sent to pull the vessel off.
