THE REPUBLICAN. CHANCES Have Been Damaged By the Decision Not to Surren- der Their Arms. London, Aug. 26.--Morning news- papers carry a long special despatch from Publin reviewing the election prospects. Correspondents record the general belief that the success of the government party is assured, but admit the existence of sufficient unknown quantities to leave some doubt on this point, especially in 'view of the large number of new el- ectors. The elections are on 'Mon- day. Opinion seems to be virtually un- animous that, however, the govern- ment party fares the new Dail will contain a considerable majority in favor of the treaty and Free State Constitution. One estimate is that the antl-treaty-ites will not obtain more than 25 or 30 seats. The statement of Frank Aitken, de' Valera's chief of staff, that what- ever happens the republicans will not surrender their arms, is said to have greatly damaged the republi- can chances, Aitken has eluded cap- ture and issues messages to his sup- porters, although it is said he is be- ing" constantly hunted from mount- ain to mountain by government agents. Mrs. Erskine ° Childers, who though an invalid is playing an ac- tive part--in-the election campaign; sald in an interview that she was hopeful of a republican victory at the polls, but was not optimistic.

Since {he The Inquest Was Needed. The Standard, with its usual bad taste and poor judgment, criticizes the, publicaticn in the Whig of a brief editoridl based upon the per- sistently expressed opinion that the boats used by the piomickers at Col- lin's Lake last Sunday were unsafe and overcrowded. The inquest re- sulted from these reports, and ths best thing that could have happened was the holding of the inquest, Tor it clearly showed that by overcrowd- fng, the little boats became "deith traps." There was so much talk about these boats last Monday (hat the Whig decided to refer to them, and it even suggested the holding of an inquest in view of the death of four young "people who were beioved by all who knew them. A knowledge of swimming is a good thing, but more non-swim- mers are saved when in danger of drowning? than swimmers. The late lamented George Sakell was a good swimmer, but he met conditions that were unlooked for, and sank in view of the rescuing party. If the inquest of Thursday"night is the. means of making voung people more cautious in regard to the use of small buats it will have well served its purpose. Without the inquest, the people would never have been satisfied. Now they know from sworp testi- mony what caused the taking of four promising Mves. Russia Protests British Flag on Wrangell Island Mdbcow, Aug. 25. -- Foreign Min- ister Tchitcherin has sent a note to the British government protesting against the raising of the British flag on Wrangell island by Vilhjalmur Stefdnsson, the explorer. In 1315, Russia formally nolified the ailled and neutral governments that Wrangell constituted an integral part of Russian territory and as no government has questioned Russid's claim to the island, the note says, the soviet government regards the raising of the British flag there as a violation of Russia's sovereign rigats. THE PLIGHT OF GERMANY Is Pictured By the New Chancellor Stresemann. CHAOS SURE TO FOLLOW In Wake of the Present Cabi- net If It Fails to Re- construct. Berlin, Aug. 25.--' This is a coal- ition Cabinet, thé broadest govern- ing combination Germany has seen since she became a republic, and it will be the last cabinet--either It succeeds or there comes in its wake chaos and ruin. This is the las. democratic-parliamentary cabinet." Chancellor Gustav Stréesemann thus p'octured Germany's plight in an In- terview given to Karl A. Bicker, president of the United Press. In this interview the Chancellor made clear that any attempt 'to separate the Rhineland from the rest of the country "will be rejectea by Germany as by one man." Ger- | many regards the Rhineland as Am- erica regards New England, Vi ginia or New York, he said. 'The scene of the interview was Stresemann's office, overlooking the historic chancellory garden, a! room peopled by the shades of Bis- marck and other-German leaders. Stresemann gives the impression of being a man whose tasks are truly Bismarckian, involving eith- er moulding together a decaying economic situation or passing on an inheritance of chaos, despair and destruction. He is young, ac- tive and-energetic, and manifestea ability and earnestness as he reit- erated Germany's willingness to lay the justice of her case before an international court or submit the -. an | Bok LORD MOUNTSTEPHEN WRITTEN FOR THE WHIG BY ARTHUR HUNT, CHUTE, a -- T In the Windsor Station, in Montreal, stephen, or (Borge Stephen, as he was in his humbler estate.

THE CANADIAN DEALERS CALLING FOR MORE COAL All Available Boat: Boats and Trains Are Carrying Anthracite Across Border. Oswego, N.Y., Aug. 25.--Every effort is being made by Canadian dealers to get more coal than they have been receiving from thie port. They have appealed to Dixon and Eddy sales agents for the N.Y. 0. & W. Coal Company, to get more coal over that road here. The shipments over this line have been light while at the UD. L. & W. tretle they have been heavier than usual it is pointed out. In the face of a threatened strike Canadians are buying every avail able pound of anthracite that tiey can obtain and shipping it into Cana: dian territory. They are telling their | customers that ihere will be ao re- duction in price. but an increase if anything with a possible strike ana a curtailment of the amount of coal to be had.

George Stephen, Ike other cathedpal 'builders, is lost to the eyes of the multitudes, but his perpetual memorial is in that highway, which he and his asso¥fates have brought forth, as the Applan Way of Canada, Why is it that George Stephen is so little known in this Dominion? His local fame faded because for his last thirty years he was on the other side of the Atlantic. His cousin, Donald Smith, always maintained his Canadian connections, while George Stephen passed back completely to the land of his birth. We would have liked him better if h@had 'been more of a Canadian. In spite of all his years in this New World, he never attained to the New World spirit. © He was an Old World Tory to the end.
