In their Vercheres canoes the Indians maintained a very precarious liaison with a stranded ship and the scow and island. They had repeated to pole their fragile craft up against a 30-mile rush of water, catch the | swirl of a dizzy whiripool and then | allow themselves to be thrown back into another current which brought them round in a half circle to some quiet water behind the vessel. After that the poling would continue again until the ship 'had been reached. The Rapids Prince had a full head of steam on and passed down the | main current of the rapids stern first. This will probably be the big- gest hazard of all in a five-weeks' battle against tremendous natural odds, ONTARIO PAROLE BOARD IS UNDER OBSERVATION Drury and Nixon at a Session Held at the Burwash Prison Farm, Burwash, Sept. 1! --VPremier E.

In all forty- five plications were considered by the tourd, and of theses twelve men were pardled, and the decision &n seven was postponed. This is slight- ly lower average than the figures for the past ten months, during which 928 cases have been considered alto- gether by the board," with 304 par- oled and 80 recommended for tick- et of leave. On Sept. 8th the board had 315 men out on parole, and 25 women and they will deal with at least 200 more cases by year. Those at the industrial farm look to the board with feelings mingling respect and gratitude. They know that if thelr record is good and it would serve the interest of justice better, they will be permitted by the board to complete their sentence in the outside world. By being parol- ed, they do not cease to be under restraint, but they can be reimpris- oned by the board at any time it sees fit. But the men, if the board thinks they will go straight, may allow. the men to work at jobs outside, so be- ing less an expense to the province while the money they earn may help Support their families who may be in dire need. WRAPPED TWO-WEEKS-OLD INFANT IN A PARCEL And Sent It Away With Taxi Man--Child Nearly Suf- fooated. -- Belleville, Sept. 11.--A new way of disposing of an unwelcome babe was revealed here on Saturday when Mrs. James Long, who lives about fifteen miles from Madoc, was plac fed under arrest aand charged with child desertion. It appears that the acoused left her home and went to Ottawa where at an institution on the 27th of August, a male child was born. - On Saturday afternoon, Mrs, Long was in Belleville ' with her child and tried to place it in the children's sheiter but could give no valid reason for so doing. Her re- quest was refused and she attempted other means of disposing of the Ilit- tle one as she had no desire to take it home. She repaired to a hotel in the city, where she apparently dress- ed the child well, and then wrapped about it some brown paper. Going outside she hailed a taxi driver and asked him if he would deliver tha parcel to a party who resides in Sid- hey township, about four miles west of the city. Mrs. Long paid the taxi driver the fee asked, and he proceed- ed to the place designated. The sur- ered he had a ltving human being. He immediately communicated with Chief of Police Kidd here, who dir: ected the driver to return to the city Immediately with the child., When the wrapping paper was taken off, the little one was found to be nearly suffocated, and medical aid contained a note asking child be taken care of, and $25 money for its maintenance for the time being. - The finding of the mother was no easy task for the pol as eventually arrested. yl had to be; = IS DEFERRED Pending Reconsidera- tion of Wage (Question.

Paris, Sept. 11.--Grand Duke Cyril of Russia, son of the late Grand Dake Viedimiir, thréw down the gauntlet to the non-monarchist' refugees when in an official proclamation he declar- od himself to be the guardian of the Russian throne as the grandson of Emperor Alexander II. and cousin of 'he late Czar Nidholas, and there- fore the holder of the primogeniture rights to dynastic succession. The announcement caused a tre- mendous sensation in the Russian colony here, as until recently Grand Duke Borls or Grand Duke Nicholas, | both of whom are reputed to favor a radical curtailment of the powers of the Czar, were the most prominent claimants to succession, and in the | event of the overthrow of the Bolshe- | viki would have stood a good clance | to rally the moderate element '0 their cause, Grand Duke Cyril's declaration contains another feature of sensa- tional interest, as it casts doubt on the fate of the late Czar with the statement: "I hope Emperor Nicholas IL. is still alive and will return to supreme power." In this event Grand Duke Cyril pledges himself to hand over his dynastic rights, but if the Czar, his son Alexis and Grand Duke Michael really perished he will ask the Russian Zemsky Sobor, or National Counecll, to confirm his claim, CAPT.

Washington, D.C., Sept, 1+.--The New York World's interview with Rudyard Kipling this. morning, In which the British poet said that the United States entered the war too late and quit too soon, and devoted her energies mainly to lending mon- ey at eight per cent. has gaused a storm of comment in official circles at Washington. The world itself is condemened for publishing the inter- view, which can only serve to arouse anti-British sentiment in the United States. General John Pershing, who com- manded the American expedition ar- my forces in Europe during the war, declined to comment upon Kipling's statement that America had forced the Allies into a premature armis- tice, except to say that the terms of armistice were dictated by the gov- ernments of Great 'Britain and France, as well as by the government of the United States. General Per- and favored a march on to Berlin, but pressure for peace, he intimated, was stronger from Paris and London than it was from Washington. At the British embassy, no com- ment for publication could be ob- tained on the Kipling interview and it being pointed out that Mr. Kip- ling held no official position in Eng- land and that the interview was pub- lished in an American newspaper. Nevertheless, regret was expressed by several members of congress who have always favored friendly rela- tions between the United States and the ' Mother Country, They . point out that Kipling"s unique position in WARMLY CONGRATULATED: 2:2 himself opposed the armistice \| British literature makes his utter ances more important even than offi cial declarations, and that he should be credited with voicing an unfriend- ly British sentiment toward the United States. = No official notice, of course, will be taken of the incident subject for debate in the house or senate during the week.

J " Toronio, Sept. 11.--With the ' suave, tlick appearance of the up-o- date '"bootiegger" . a young man walked irto the lobby of a big down town hote. early yesterday morning. He hung around a few minutes, un~ til he sp.ed a rather stout, midile- aged gent.eman .who looked like one of the chief mourners for the ate "John Barleycorn." : The young man walked up to him and entered into a conversation.

Atter « while when they were bota getting eal chummy the young fei~ low looked around to see that mo body was .ooking, leaned over and whispercd into the ear of his newly made companion, "Say, boss, how would yuu like a nice bottle of cold tea."
