C. 'Wade, agent-general for British Col- | umbia, points out in the press that Australia and Canada support less than three persons to the square mile as against 618 to the square mile in England and Wales.

INVITE MARSHAL FOCH TO ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE French Military Strategist Be Asked Here. In connection with the approaching visit ofsMarshal Foch to the United | States, it is suggested that this dis- tinguished soldier be invited to spect the Royal Mlitary College Canada. There is.po doubt that the marshal would wel®yme the oppor- tunity of visiting the institution which furnished so many splendid officers to the'Canadian corps, and it is felt that his visit would prove a | wonderftil incentive and inspiration to the gentlemen cadets, It would be a happy incident and peculiarly gratifying to the gallant marshal if he could not only inspec: them, but be entertained by them at a concert on similar lines to the*Soi- ree Francaise" which was 80 success- fully staged in the Sir Arthur Currie HT last spring. Apart from the Royal Military Collegg of Canada, however, King- ston has much to offer in the way of historic connections with old France which would be of Interest to Mar- shal Foch. We remember with prid that gallant old Froutepac was hy one who, in 1673, brought his flotilla of canoes round Fort Frederick pen- insula and founded what later be- came the Limestone city; that the Chevalier L.a Salle occupied Fort Frontenac and that for many years the vicinity of Kingston teemed with pioneers of France, and that the county jis replete with associations of our French Allies which would be a source of pleasure to this distinguish- ed soldier, There is no doubt that the corpor- ation of the city, Queen's University, the Board of Trade, the Royal Mili- tary, College and the various clubs and organizations of Kingston would combine in tendering the Marshal of France a fitting reception, and with ministers representing "the county in the Dominion parlig- ment; no difficulty should be expers fenced in bringing the wishes of the community in a fitting manner to the anthorities. All that is needed to accomplish this happy end Is immediate action on the part of the prominent eitizens of tho city, and it is hoped that, now the suggestion has been put forward it. may be pushed forward to a suc- cessful conclusion.

My visit "0 To- ronto bas no connection with Sir Henry Drayton's plans nor with politics of any kind. I am here on private business only.""--Hon. J, D. Reid. This is the response of Hon. Dr. \ [Re d to the Globe's story of to-day {| which pictures him as being in To- {rondo to secure the Parkdale Cop- {servative nomination for Sir Henry { Drayton, minister of finance. "There is not a word of truth in the Globels story that any- thing is being 'worked' in con- neotion with the Parkdale nomi- nation. Hon. Dr, Reid, I am cer- tain, has nothing to do with it." --Hon. Edmund Bristol, presid- ent of the Central Conserva- tive Association. This is the response of Hon. Ed- mund Bristol to the Globe's state- ment that the Central Conservative Association was behind a machine at- tempt to get the Parkdale nomina- tion for Sir Henry Drayton. "Please deny positively the Globe's statement that I have been persuaded to withdraw as a contestant for the Conserva- tive nomination in. Parkdale constitueney. I will be in the contest to the last. and expect to secure the nomination and carry the riding by the largest majority ever recorded. Nobody is butting in on Parkdale, ang, furthermore, nobody can make a deal with me." -- Ex-Ald. David Spence, This is the response of David Spence to the Globe's story that he had heen persuaded to withdraw from the contest for the Parkdale nomination, "I will tell the meeting of Ward' Six ' Conservatives to- . hight that I am in the contest for the Parkdale nomination no matter what happens. I with- drew in 1917 in the interests, of national harmony, but this' time it 48 a political fight and the people must decide. I heard rumors of late of outside inter- ference in Parkdale; -not by Premier 'Meighen, but by oth- ors; but I am determined to re- main in'the contest. The feeling in Parkdale, I believe, is sternly against interference from out- side. Hon. Dr. Reid has told me that Sir Henry Drayton would not be brought into the Park- dale riding."--J. S. Lundy. This is the response of Mr. J. Lundy to the Globe's story regarding interference in Parkdale. The truth about Parkdale is 'hat Q before the convention, like that of any other Toronto man, and that the Conservatives of Parkdale will make a free choice of théir repersenta'iva The importance of Sir Henry Dray- ton's position in the party may have a naturs fluence, To Be Local Man, Toronto, Oct. 15.--Although there was reference to the possibility of Sir Henry Drayton en'ering Parkdale riding, there were a naimbeér of pointed references to the /fact that the candidate would be a man who belonged to the riding, at the meot- ing last night to select delegates to the Parkdale and South Toronto Liberal-Conservatives' conventions. Dave Spence and J. 8. Lundy went on record as being "in the fight to stay." MUST BE DEALT WITH LOCALLY SAYS MEIGHEN The Government Can Merely Help in the Unemploy= ment Situation. Néwcas'le, N.B., Oct. 15.--Dealing with the question of unemployment last night, Premier Meighen said it was the function of the government to see that those who were willing to work could ge: work, hut the govr- ernment was not to blame for a situ- ation which was world-wide. The sit- nation must be dealt with locally and ail. the government could do was to assist. A License Inspector For Past Thirty Years. Renfrew, Oct. 15.--John Connolly, License Inspector for Remfrew coun- ty for the past thirty years, has re- signed and will be superannuated. He was appointed Inspector Joe South Renfrew by the Mowat ernment in 1891, and when the | tario Temperance Act came into ef- fect five years ago his jurisdiction was extended to take in the entire county.

New York, Oct. ing the repeated assaults of an in- furiated man who sought to fight them off with a heavy axe, two Jer- | sey City pelicemen early yesterday morning finally beat down their as- | sailant with nightsticks and made | their way into e room at 68 Williams avenue, where the axe wielder had stabbed his rival in a love affair fit- teen times in the face and body, | When the bluecoats tried to enter | the narrow hallway at the house they found their way barred by Michael | Parlovich, 30 years old. Cursing | wildly, he struck at them with an | axe. A pitched battle ensued in the | half light, which prevented policemen from using their revolvers | because of danger to each other, Af- | ter dodging several blows from the | axe, one of the policemen managed to | strike the enraged man with his | nightstick. The affray in the boarding house wdS said to have been caused by jealousy over a girl. George Colack, 28 years old, of 46 Yale avenue, Jer- 1 sey City, and a companion, Steve | Sapo, of the same address, made | their way to Parlovich's room at the | Williams street address. Colack and | Parlovich, ' it was said, have both gone with' the same girl for some time and mutual threats have passed between them' Ai a result of the, visit, Colack is in a Jersey City hospital, where it is said he will die; Parlovich is under arrest charged with atrocious assault and battery, and Sapo is suffering with a bruised head for his effort to prev:nt frouble between the two love's. Pirlovich was said to have attack- ed (lack with a knife, stabbing him repestedly.. Fifteen wounds, some of then serious, were counted on the victim's body. According to an account of the statbing given the police by Sapo, Colack ordered Parlovich to keep away from the girl, Sapo, who is 26 years old, tried to prevent trouble and tried to wrest the knife from Parlovich's hands. He was thrown to the floor and escaped from the room to nptify the police. 15.--Withstand- | i the | sessariIIITraees : GRAEOQ + REROR ALARMS TURKS * ConstartineBll 15.-- Turkish rite much alarmed over rdmJirs that there ie to be military co-operation between the Grisk; and Rum- anians in Thrace.

Oct. 15.--Tossed about Lake Ontario with the waves | rolling 30 feet high, for two days, in a small sailing craft, and expecting | to be sent to the bottom of the lake | any minute, Gus Erickson, aged 36, arrived. in Oswego port. Erickson | resides in' Vermillion, 0., and is known as "The Hermit of Lake Erie." He has been staying at the yacht club in Chaumont for the past | few days. Mr. Erickson left Chaumont. in al small sail boat intending to stop at Oswego on his- way home. There was a light southeast wind blowing when he started out. When off the lighthouse near Oswego the wind shifted to the west and started blow- ing hard. The skipper reefed down to a jib and headed aeross the lakes. Night found him near the False Ducks, near the Canadian shore, His mainsail had been swept away with other rigging. A severe storm was in progress. With only Jib left Erick- son turned back at 4 a.m., and start- ed back over the course to Oswego. Erickson who is a sailor of no little experience said that he had never been in a worse storm. He is feeling none the worse for his trip other than a lame back from hanging onto the rudder. _ Erickson is an ex-soldier and ser- ved in the front line trenches.

New York, Oct. 15.--There will be coal enough for all this winter de- spite a long continued slump in mine information gathered by the United Press from every section of the country showed to-day. If the raflroad strike takes effect October 30th there may be a short- but dealers in { most cities report a stock to carry | them through the winter, Kansas and neighboring states re- port the lowest commercial stocks due to the strike called by Alexander | Howat, president of the Kansas min- ies in defiance of the orders of the | United Mine Workers. A reserve can be quickly built up, however, if the srtike is settled, dealers say. Other facts disclosed by the United Press survey are: ® That despite the fall in the price of many commodities, coal remains about the same price as last year. This is partly because the consumers are awaiting a fall in freight rates, and most householders delayed lay- jing in winter stocks, until the recent | cold snap caused a rush in buying. On the basis of the present condi- tions, government officials at Wash- ington, where the geological survey gathers weekly statistics on coal pro- duction, do not expect any winter shortage. The total production of soft coal for 1921, is estimated at 391,780,000 tons as compared with 556,420,000 tons last year. Part of this falling off is explained by slack business conditions and partly by the falling off in the export trade. Government figures also show that many miners are out of work and railroad coal carrying equipment is idle. It is. believed therefor that pro- duction could be speeded up quick- ly. Most sections of the country re- ported slack buying until a few days ago, a good supply in the hands ot dealers and only slightly lower pric- | es. + In the east, cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Del., Albany, N.Y, and others report stocks at normal or above with slack buying and prices about the same as last year. Pennsylvanja, in the heart of the coal district, reports lowest prices with no fear of shortage under any circumstances. Pittsburgh is pratical- ly the only city reporting domestic consumers stocked for the winter. In Chicago, coal prices are $4 a ton less than last year but only a 30 or 45 day supply is on hand. Howev- er, Chicago is close to the Illinois mine fields. $5,000 In Hockey Sticks " Destroyed in Big Fire. pe Preston, Oct. 15.--The plant of E. B. Salyerds, hockey stick mauu- facturer, was destroyed by fire. The large two- storey brick building con- taining all the machinery is a mass The origin of the fire is unknown, and the interior of | the building was a mass of flames before tae fire was discevered.

EXPLOSION: AT PETERBORO. pi Six Men Injured In An Accident There Friday. Pewrboro, Oct. 15.--Henry Har- vey, inspector for the Nova Scotia Power Company, and P. K.

Harvey is not expected to get bét- ter, and Kane is badly injured. Hugh Cowie, A. Lapp, A. F. Fielder and W. H. Wilson were also injured, but were taken home. The accident ocurred in the test department. A large generator for the Nova Scotia Power Company was being tested at high speed when a portien of the casing gave away and pieces of the hine flew in all directions.

London, Oct. 15.--Reuter's Cape Town correspondent says that owing to the financial depression and con- | sequent fall in the values of agricul- | tural produce and owing also to the failure of cereal crops as a result of drought conditions last summer, many farmers are seriously involved financially and may possibly be com- pelled to discontinue further opera- tions. The South® African government was recently strongly urged to ren- der assistance, but was unable to accept the various suggestions made for remedying the position. ' Now it is proposed, with the approval of the banks, that the magistrates in the affected districts should appoint vigilance committees, who shal] en- deavor to persuade creditors pressing for payment, to grant debtor farmers extension of time in which to dis- charge their Habilities, The committees are only to inter- vene in cases where payment or, ju- dicial execution would inflict irre- mediable loss on the producers. Should intervention fail, the case is to be referred to the government for further action. Bourassa May Run As Labelle Liberal Ottawa, Oct. 15.--Something in the nature of a political bombshell was dropped in Hull to-day, when it was stated on good authority that Henri Bourassa, the Nationalist lead- er, and stormy petrel of the political world, will likely be a candidate for federal honors in the forthcoming general elec- tions. It is stated Mr. Bourassa has announced he will allow his name to go before the comven- tion of Labelle county Liberals, which will be held at Papineau- ville, Que., on Monday next. IS FOUND GUILTY OF. . - MURDERING PRIEST Man Claimed Reward for Finding Body and Was Arrested. Redwood City, Calif.,, Oct. 15.-- William A. Hightower was found guilty yesterday of first degree mur- der with recommendation of life im- prisonment, by the jury in the case in which he was charged with the murder of Father Patrick E. Heslin of Colma, California. Father Heslin accompanied a muf- fled stranger the night of August 2nd from the parish house at Colma, tak- ing with him the Sacrament to administer to a supposedly dying man. The next day a letter demanding $6,500 ransom was received at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, and on the night of August 10th. 'Hightower appeared at Archbishop Edward J. Hanna's residence in San Francisco, asking for the $8,000 re- ward offered for the recovery of Father Heslin, alive or dead, saying he had a clue to the missing priest's whereabouts. He led a party of police and news- papermen to a'sandy cliff at Salada Beach, six miles from Colma, where the priest's body, with the head crushed in and two bullet holes In the body, was found in a shallow grave, Hightower said his clue came from the story of an outcast woman, Dolly Mason, that a drunken foreigner had told her of "something valuable" buried pear a sign of a man frying flapjacks. The priest's housekeeper identified Hightower as the man who called for Father Heslin and an expert testi- fled that Hightower's was the hand- writing on the ransom letter. CANNED 'GOODS UP. The Price Advances ou? 1-2 Cents on the Dozen. Montreal, Oct. decided stiffening of the price of canped goods is reported by the Dominion | Canners, Ltd. Since the issuance of the opening quotations in September prices of ple lines such as wax and green beans, tomatos, peas and corn have advanced 7 1-2 cents a dozen, and it is expected that this increasc wil] shortly be reflected in the retail trade. When prices opened this sga- Son the Dominion Canners reduced gurrent quotations last and green beans were offered at 15 © [cents a dozen less than in 1920; corn, 30 cents; standard peas, 15 cents; tomatoes, 20 cents; h.s. cherries, 89 cents; Nh. 8. peaches, 40 cents; h. s.

' Labor troubles in South Wales NOT T0 RUN Has Dropped Out As the U. F idate i 0. Candidate in Fron- SN 3 tenac. The persistent rumor during the rast few days that John A Kennedy, Tichborne, ohosen by the U.F.O. of Frontenac as their candidate to op- pose Hon. Dr. J. W. Edwards in fed- eral election, would not run, proves to be true. Mr. Kennedy has intim- ated that he will not be a candidata. His reason for retiring from the con- test is said to be of a personal nat- ure. Mr, Kennedy was chosen as U.F.0, candidate on the bth of October at a big meeting held in the court bouse. He then accepted the nomi- natiop and prepared for the contest, Afterwards he was met with family objections to his entering an election fight, and he decided to retire as soon as possible in order to give the U.F.0. a chance to select another standard-bearer. i Leaders of the U.F.0. are unable to say who his successor will be. Mr. Keénnedy fairly swept the convention. His nearest competitor was R. Ax Hamilon, Godfrey, also a north man Mr. Haniilton has intimated to friends that he does not want the nomination, in fact he wouM not accept it now. In case he cannot be induced to be the U.F.0. standard- bearer, the candidate would likely be chosen from one of the south Frontenac leaders, chief of whom are R..J. Vair, J. L. F, Sproule, R. J. Bushell. The retirement of Mr. Kennedy bas caused quite a stir in U.F.O. cir- cles, as the farmers thought they had a man who could give Dry Edwards a batile that would land their candi- dae in a seat in the house of com- mons. They chose a Man from the north in. order to try and split the doctor's solid vote out there. Now the conditions are much changed. ALL.ITS ELEVATORS QLUTTED WITH GRAIN '| Stoppage Of Buying by Europe Causes Oongestion at Montreal. Montreal, Oct, 156. -Owing to te dearth of ocean tonnage and a fall ing grain market, there is now acts grain congestion in the Montreal har- bor elevators which promises to be the most serious ever exrerierted in this port. Number 2 elevator and the Grand Trunk eleyator have al- ready suspended all operations, be- ing filled to capacity. Twenty-two grain boats from the Great Lakes are lying in the harbor with full holds, but the elevators tre helpless ano cannot recelve any further shiv- ments. To make matters worse, oe lake boats are due here. shortly. Roughly speaking there are thirteen hundred car loads of gfain waiting for the Grand Trunk elevator, and about two thousand for the har"Hor eleyators, whi] between Montreal and Gecrgian Bay poris, approxim- ately 30,000,000 bushels are eith-r in transit or stored. The main cause of this existing acute congestis:, which is causing no little apprehen- sion, as there appears to be no im- mediate solution in sight, is the fact that Europe has stopped 'buying, with the hesult that tramp steamers no longer come h»vo. The European demand has fallen off, causing a re- duction in corn and grain prices. There will be very little buying any- where, it is sald, until prices have descended to a new low lével and have become stabilized, Small Building Lots Forbidden in Oshawa. Oshawa, . Oct. 15.--Oshawa town planning commission passed a reso- lution that in future ne building lots less than 45 feet in frontage will be approved. This action was taken when a plan, with, very narrow lots, some of "hém *avely 30 feet, was pre sented by a subdivision owner for age proval and was rejected. The commission took the stand that a houge built on eo narrow a lot could not be sanitary. In the south end of the town at present there are many shecks, which, the commission held, should never hava been built, as they constitute an: eyesore and ¢ mentce to the publle health, E9940 400860290408 + > + BOLSHEVIK SCHEME + _« FOR FORCED LABOR + Helsingfors, Finland, Oct. 15 --rHaving failed miserably in in previous efforts at imposing first money taxes and then food taxes in Soviet Russia the Bol sheviki now propose a "work tax."
