Toronto, Oct. 5.--More han 3,000 delegafles are expedted to register for the World Brotherhood Congress In Toronto on October 9th and 10th. Already reservations have been re- ceived from Vancouver on the west and Amherst. on the east. Dele- gates from Great Britain, the United States and possibly several European countries, wl be present. As it was on the invitation of the brotherhood that Lloyd Gorge was visiting Canada, #t was necessary for the congress to be in session when he arrived. Four years ago, when Lloyd George gave the concluding address at the first World Brother- hood Congress, a Canadian, in mov- ing the vote of thanks, invited him to a similar congress when held in Canada, and the invitation was ac- cepted immediately. Since 1919, congresses have been held in Wash- ington, Prague and Cairo.

J THINK TWO OR THREE PERSONS WERE DROWNED When a Launch Burned and Sank in 8t. Clair Flats. Windsor, Oct. 5.--No traces of two or three persons, thought to have drowned when their thirty-five-foot launch burned and sank in the St. Chir flats, on Thursday night, have been found ,although workmen have located the boat in twenty-two feet of water 1,500 feet below the lower St. Clair light. The belief that one of the persons, who left the little craft, was a wo- man, was expressed by the keeper of the light, Henry Rattery. Rattery told the United States - engineer's office, in Detroit, that between 9 and 9.30 p.m. he heard cries for help, and that he put out in a smail boat. One of the voices was that of a woman, he said. A heavy sea and a high wind, however, prevented him from locating the victims. Guests at the old club on the low- er end of the south channel sighted the burning vessel about 9 p.m. Boats were manned immediately and sent into the bay. By that time, however, the burning vessel drifted in a heavy wind, apd was near the lighthouse at the head of the ship canal, a half mile from where it was seen first. Before' the rescue boats reached the spot, it turned over and sank in eighteen feet of water. Neither swimmers nor bodies were found by the club boats. Mountain Bartlett Pears.

WANT CANADIAN CATTLE. Scottish Butchers Say Arnivals Not Sufficient. London, Oct. 5.--A complaint that Canadian cattle were not coming for- ¥ard in sufficient numbers was made at the annual meeting of the Scot- tish' Federation of Meat Traders' As- sociation in Glasgow. Mr. Weld), president' of the Glasgow Fleshers' Society, sald that that body had helped to secure the removal of the embargo, and the promise was then made that the price of beef to the puble would be reduced. That the promise had not been fulfilled was not the fault of the meat traders, he- cause cattle had not come from Can- ada in the numbers expected or promised. He denied 'hat Glasgow meat retailers were charging higher prices than those quoted -in other centres. y BOATS AND BEER TAKEN.
