A rescue occurred while a heavy gale was sweeping Lake Superior. The dead included Capt. Menard and Chief Engineer Am brose Dunn, Kingston. Ont.; First Mate Mike Smith, Brewer's Mills, Ont. The names of the others were not obtainable. The rescued were Second Engineer W. Fauve, Jean Duval and Henry Duval, St. Votique, Ont.; Frank Robrique, Caiteau Du Lac, Ont.; Frank Marshall, R.

Fort William, Dec. 1.--In the teeth of a blustering gale, nineteen glant grain carriers put out from these ports last night betwen aix o'clock and ten o'clock and befors midnight five others were ready io join the fleet. The fall of snow €lopped late in the afternoon, and a lull developed that enabled captains to seize the opportunity for a safe clearance. Ry eight o'clock, how- over, the wind had mounted, shriek- ing over the city in greater intensity than has ruled thus far In a stormy day. Consequently, none of the ves- sels were expected to do more than comply with the technicality of leaving harbor, thus secyring the benefit of low insurance. They will : Giptain Menard. Captain Menard was about thirty years of age and had lived in King- ston with his mother at 36 8- Bagot street. He had been in command of the steamer Maplehurst for - two years. Previous to sailing the Maple- hurst he was on the steamer India, owned Ly the Montreal Transborta- tion Company.

CONSUMPTION OF SPATS IN CANADA IS LOWER Only About One-Third of Gal lon Per Head of Popu- lation. ¢ Ottawa, Dec. 1.--Consumption of spirits per head in Canada last fiscal year was the lowest recorded. In 1869, the first fecord given by tha Department of Customs and Excise in its annual report, the per head consumption of spirits in Canada was 1,124 gallons. It reached the highest level in 1874, with a per capita consumption of 1,994 gal lons. Last year it was .360 gal- lons as compared with .857 gallons in 1921, and in comparison with an EVERY SHIP WILL BE NEST OF BOOTLEGGERS by Sir Henry Thornton and Mr. Gra- ham Bell will commence early in De- | eember. { Hon| Rudolphe Lemieux had-a | private audience on Friday with | Pope Pius, who spokes of his affec- tion for Canada and praised the re- ligious spirit of its people.

Ottawa, Dec. 1.--It is not general-- ly known that the west possesses a bona fide Turkish community of ag- ricultural settlers scattered through the cities and towns of Canada. Therq are a number of Syrians, of the Moslem faith who are vendors of oriental wares like rugs and petty traders. But in the vicinity of Swift Current, S8ask., lying to the south between the village of Neville and the Weyburn-Lethbridge line there is a settlement of real 'Otto- man Turks who are. engaged in farm- ing. They are very devout and ad- here to all their religious observ- ances with great strictness, but they admitted Mrs. accused with |stnce 1869. average annual consumption, since 1869 of .922 gallons. While per head consumption of spirits is déclining, consumption 'of beer per head has almost doubled In that year, {t was 2.- 290 gallons; last year, it was 4.375 gallons. The highest per capita con- sumption was reeched in 1914 with 7.200 gallohs. The average annual per head consumption of beer since 1869 is 3.900 gallons. What Is Prophesied As the -Result of the Daygherty Liquor Ruling. Yokohama, Dec. 1.--'"The law will make every American ship running out of an Oriental port 'a nest of bootleggers,'" stated a veteran ship- ping man here, referring to the Dau- gherty ruling against the transport or sale of liquor on United States steamships anywhere or on foreign vessels in American waters. The principal Japanese shipping companies are uncertain what to do as a result of the order, which has been the. cause of spirited discus sion in Japanese ports. who to one man, an Amer- 'Rule of Road" Changes.

He won- ders what the United States..sourts will do if a Chinese cabin boy is charged with violating the law. The complications, he points out, will arise from the fact that American fmmigration laws strictly prohibit the entry of Chinese and they would probably be effective in the case of Chinese charged with breaking the American law on the high seas. Opinion is not altogether opposed to the prohibition ruling, and some authorities believe that American ships will make as much from soda' fountain services as they ever did from their bars. Steamship companies are now con- sidering whether. to discontinue the sale of liquor or divert their boats to Vancouver instead of Seattle. ------n Noted For Its Touchdowns.
