It is pointed out that there are probably ten large naval units at Smyrna, These include the French cruiser Ernest Renan, at least two' British craft and one ve- presentative each of the Italian, Dutch and United States navy, In ad- dition to these is a flotilla of light craft. Le Matin remarks that no one questions the right of any govern- ment to close certain ports to war- ships under normal relations, but that to expel warships anchored in a port before the signature of peace constitutes unfriendly relations, No News Received. London, Feb, 8. --Delay in des- patches from the Near East left Lon- don in doubt early to-day as to the outcome of the Turkist ultimatum to the Allies that all warships over 1,- 0060 tons were requested to leave Smyrna harbor before midnight. The British men-of<war were knowa to be wteaming at full speed toward the harbor to defy the ultimatum, but whether the Turks attempted to drive out the war vessels as they threaten- ed, was not known, Silver Fox Pelts Realize $126,000 at Montreal Sale Montreal, Feb. 8. --Silver fox pelts from Prince Edward Island and Que- auction sales here and a total of $125,000 was realized.

The government ordered its Meditor- rean forces to take all measures to protect AlHed citizens, firing if nec- essary. The French consul at Smyrna asked permission to withdraw the en- tire French colony, stating the Turks are in an ugly mood. Paris papers, to-day, stress the gravity of the situation and degounce the Turkish demands. The Matin em- Dhastizes the fact that American war- ships, as well as those of the Alles, will be endanged if the shore bat- teries fire. Minister of Marine Rai- bert! has been summonded to Paris.

Until further developments, it is understodd in French cifeles, that Lausanne conference will be consid- ered still in being and regarded as finally terminated only when the _ &ecretary gives notification to that effect.

The auditors submit numerous re- | commendations, one of which is that la record be kept of meetings heid by | committees of the council. The town has been billed by the provincial | secretary's department for $1,952 for the audit, to which is added $400 | hotel expenses, and the council, doubting that thirty bona fide rate- payers of the town petitioned for the report is hesitating about making | payment.

R. W. | Yout at a meeting of the counail, the Public Utilities Commission found 1t- self without sufficient coal on hand at Ms pumping station to maintain Steam on Jan. 17th, when a sudden interruption occurred in Hydro ser- vice, and was forced to hurry teams to the coal yards in order to obtain a supply.

REQUISITIONING ALL NEEDS It Is Said France is to Make a Militarized Zone on the Right Bank of Rhine. Berlin, Feb. 8.--French troops, in newly occupied trritory, continued their advance at dawn. extending the cecupation in the directirn of El- berfcid, Reports from Tissen stated that the French plan to strengthen the garrison there with a new bat- | taldon, Offenburg dispatahies said excite- ment was increasing that the invad- ers had directed artillery against that city and were requisitioning everything they required as though under war-time conditions. A general strike of German workers is threat- ened, as a reprisal, with Communists favoring separate action. Government reports indicate a growing belief that France intends to make one great militarized zone of the right bank of the Rhine and seize not only coal and ccke but all by- products, including dyes. Hugo Stinnes, interviewed at Mul- heim, declared against negotiations with the invaders "Tha siiuation doesn't call for talk," the German in- dastrialist declared "Wa will fight it out." Belief that the French occupation {would reach and envelope Elberfeld jbefore to-night was heightened by | | reports that the blue clad troops | were in the streets of Hueckeswagen and that a contingent of French rall- way troops had arrived at Brake.

It was maintained by Mr. Craig that if Rev. C. W. Gor- don had made the allegation and the statements attributed to him in the press, Dr, Gordon was in error, PRINCESS MARY HAS A SON AND HER The King and Queen Con- gratulated on Their First Grandchild. London, Feb. 8.--King George ana Queen Mary are grandparents to-day, and Britain rejoices with them, A son was born last evening to Princess Mary, the wife of Viscount Lascelles. The little prince has already made something of a stir, All the morning newspapers "made over" to announce his arriva! in the largest type they possessed. Fiotures of all the family are print- ed, together with the minutest de- talle of the life history of the baby's parents and their parents. One news- ologyical tree showing the descent of the prince on both sides of the family from King Henry VII. The King and Queen are being showered with congratulations upon the arrival of their first grandchild and as much excitement is being shown as was caused by Princess Mary's marriageia little less than a year ago. To-day's official bulletins proclaim- ed "mother and son doing wall." King George and Queen Mary were early at the town house of Viscount Lascelles and his princess wife, and called to pay respects to the _littie amcunting a'most to a public hol- day, reigned in London, An official bulletin at 10 o'clock read: "The Princess Mary passed a comfortable night. Her condition was quite satisfactory." Word was also issued to the of- fect that the baby who, despite his mother's royal birth, is only a com- title, was doing excellently, A special edition of the Court Cir- uclar sald: "Their majesties are gra:- ified to announce that Princess Mary gave birth to a son, lasi night." The baby is a potential heir to the crown as matters stand to-day.

Employees on the Lascelles family estates at Harewood and elsewhere itook a day's holiday to celebrate the |auspicious event, for the Earl of Harewood and his son are good land- lords and employers and are thor- oughly popular and esteamed. Family custom decrees that the [first name of a future Earl of Hare- | wood shall be Henry. It is understcod that Lascelles wants to christen the infant George, in honor of his royal father-in-law but that Mary insists on the retention of the old Lascelles | name of Henry. However, George will probably be the boy's second name. The father's names is Henry George and Edward will certainly be attached in honor of the Prince of Wales.

AN HYDRO "SCHEME Buffalo Group - Applies to Washington For Permit. 1600000 HORSEPOWER i - »l . Power To Be Distributed in | US. And Canada---Plant | at Morrishurg, Ont. | Washington, Feb. 8.--An applica tion filled by the American Supers | Fower Corporation of Buffalo with ithe Federal Water Power Commis= {son reveals that the company con- {templates a huge hydro-electric Jde- | velopment, including the transmis. sion of power from the St. Lawrence {River to New York City and the'suy- {rounding metropolitan district. The project is said to be the most ambit- fous ever planned for the eastern rart of the United States. | Requests were filed for two pre- {liminary permits allowing the de- {velopment of 1,600,000 horse power |in the towns of Waddington, New York, and Morrisburg, Ont, on the St. Lawrence river, Of this total horse power, 920,000 is intended for the United States and 680,000 for Canada, As a part of the scheme, plans for navigation ald to be similar to those {of the engineer who made a study of {the proposed St, Lawrence waterway for the International Joint Commis- sion, are provided. These include |locks designed for a draft of thirty (feet, allowing the government to {dredge the channel to that depth {where necessary. The total estimat- {ed cost of the combined power and navigation project is $211,466,419, the co of legal and engineerin |work under the preliminary permits {being estimated at $1,000,000. The iecrporation, it is understood, wishes |to connect its plants with the plans [proposed by the government for Hnking up water power projects from Boston to Washington, "In fact," says the application, "it will cover the entire industrial re- gion in the northeastern section "of the United States, and togéther with the transmission line from our pro- posed plant at Niagara Falls, will ® (supply the base load for this entite region, including all the cities in up= state New York. It is sald it will take ten years or more to complete the project, for which permission would have to ba cbtained from both the federal power commission and the International Joint Commission. Other similar ap- | Plications are on file, it is understood, but the Buffalo corporation alleges that its plans flood less territory than any other scheme, and that it would bc most efficient, as it matches the {ideas of Canadian development, |. Plans would be located at Ogden {Irland and at Barnhart Island. The {installed capacity at Ogden Island' {Would be 700,000 horse power, and {that at Barnhart Island 1,260,000. {rt is the intention to develop con- | tinuously 1,000,000 horse power at |Ogden Island and 1,000,000 at Barn hart Island. At Ogden Island it fs planned to develop 420,000 horse rower for use on the American side. : {With the balance avablable for use {In Canada. At the Barnhart Island |plant 600,000 ultimately would bs {developed for use in each country. | 'The cost of developing 1,600,000 {horse power would bo $96 per horse' | power, based on an estimated cost of $154,000,000. This would make jt | possible, it is said, to deliver power {to New York City for $28 per horse {Power per year, and on a load factor | of 85 per cent. would represent & jcost of five-tenths of. a cent a kilo- {watt Relative to the final develop- (ment of 600,000 horse power at Ogden Island, of which 420,000 would be avatlable in America, and which could be put into use three years in advance of completion of both projects, the total cost would be [$76,000,000 The portion represent ed by the 420,000 horse power for' American use would be $63,500,000, or $127 per horse power capital cost, This could be delivered to New York for $34.50 per horee power per year. This on the basis of an §5 per cen! load factor, would represent a cost of sixtenths of a cent a kilowatt. The plans contemplate, a two stage development, one at the lower end of Ogden Island, between the towns of Waddington and Morrisburg, and the other at the lower ead of Barnhar: Island, between the town of Massena and the Canadian shore. The dam would cross the river from the lower end of Portage Bay to the point of land just east of Morrisburg. The improvement would cover a streton of 60 miles.
