Ottawa, April 21. -- The question of removing the Air Force from Camp Borden to Mohawk camp at Deseronto has been under consideration by the Defence Department, but it was stated there yesterday that the scheme is only tentative and in "embryo." The present quarters at Borden are consid- ered to be too much off' the route, while the buildings, or- iginally erected by the Royal Alr Force, are out of repair, Toronto The Place? Toronto, April 21. -- If Camp Borden is to be closed and the train- ing camp moved, a concerted effort will be made by Toronto and other Ontario members in the House to have it located in or near Toronto, where 'the service had its-birth. Ash- bridge's Bay or Long Branch offer the. very best facilities now required for the Royal Canadian Aid Service, both for airplanes and flying boats. It is pointed out by the Toronto members that Toronto and vicinity has more aviators than any other 5 Sautiunn the Damin that the squadrons, inactive only through lack of convenient facilities for training and flying, would imme- diately become active and the whole Canadian force benefited. This could not be done even if located at Camp Mohawk, as proposed by Charles Hanna, member for West Hastings, owing to the enormous cost. A centre at Toronto would be used as the local armories, and the cost slight. As airplane and seaplane sheds must be erected, it is pointed out that Toronto with all the facilities of @& large city offers the best induce- ments, and the cost of maintenance, transportation, etc, would be less than anywhere else. The first pilots from Canada to en- ter the war were trained flying over Toronto Bay in flying boats and at Long Branch in airplanes.

"I love all my old customers, and wish them well and prosperity," read the will. Wallace left $70,000, which went to charity. Council Defeats Laundry By-law By a Vote of 10 to 8 After a Very Spirited Debate Mon- A by-law presented by Ald. Nash, to regulate the "erection, establish- mént and licensing of public laun- dries," was defeated when it came up for its second reading in the com- mittee of the whole, at Monday night's session of the city cotineil, by a vote of 10 to 8. The proposed by- law, which was before the council at a recent meeting, brought forth quite a spirited debate, and the council chamber, was well filled with interested spectators, including many for and against the by-law. A number of Chinamen were present to witness the "doings." Following the meefing of the council, quite a lively discussion oc- curred between some of the citizens opposed to the laundries being estab- lished in the residential districts, and members of the council, who had voted against the proposed by-law, and although the by-law was defeat- ed, it may be that the question will come before the council again, and that some action may be taken to have a "restricted area" for the establishment of laundries. It was known that representatives were present to address the council in opposition to the by-law, and at the outset, Ald. O'Connor objected very strongly to hearing just one side of the question. He was anxious that both sides be heard. '""We can hear any person on the subject," remarked Ald. Laturney. Ald. Peters, who had been voted into the chair, stated that he was opposed to hearing any deputation. He felt that it was a matter that the council should consider and dispose of. Ald. Laturney moved to hear any deputation that might be present, and his motion was carried. part of Class Legislation. C. M. Smith was the first speaker, outside of the council, and declared that the by-law was class legislation, in that it discriminated against a certain community. He regarded iti as unfair, and for this reason appeal- ed to the council on a question of fairness. He said that if this by-law was passed, the council would be ap- sufficient number of people opposed the 'granting of a Hcense for a laun- dry in a certain location, there was STRONG ATTACK ONT TORY LEADERS Made in the House of Commons By Joseph h Archambault CANPAIGN IN QUEBEC Offering Most Diverting Enter- tainment For Chasing the Blues Province Ever Had. Ottawa, April 21.--Joseph Ar- chambault, Liberal member for Chambly-Vercheres, made a telling speech in the debate on the budget yesterday. He took occasion to de- liver a sarcastic and bitter attack up- on Conservative leaders in the prov- ince of Quebec. Having stated that the present budget had spiked the guns of the Conservative party throughout the country, he asserted that that party was seeking new de- vices and new alliance, '""to try and fool the people once more." Mr. Archambault said that the campaign of the Conservative party in the province of Quebec was of- fering the most extraordinary spec- tacle and the most diverting en- tertainment for chasing the blues that that province ever had, and was called "a great Conservative push." "Conservative Push." Proceeding, Mr. Archambault said: "This push reminds one of that lit- tle German putsch from Bavaria a few years ago, headed by the pon- derous General Ludendorff, follow- ed by the Crown Prince, which putsch with its combination of bur- lesque and slapstick comedy, made the whole world rock with laughter. This great Conservative 'putsch' came as far as Hull yesterday. The General Ludendorff of the 'putsch' is the rotund Mr. Monty, who was a minister in the late cabinet, but could not find one Conservative con- stituency in Quebec that would elect him. The crown prince of the party is none other than the cele- brated Armand Lavergne, who has been hypnotized by the newly dis- covered, alluring, charming and ir- resistible vamping powers of the Right Honorable Leader of the Opposition. They brought with them for protection the secretary of the Montreal police probe, Mr. J. H. Michaud; and occasionally the ora- tory of the party is elevated to the high plane of Gladstonian eloquence by the Hon. C. C. Ballantyne, who had been nicknamed in Montreal on account ot his initials, 'Can't Come Back'." Watered Stock. Mr. Archambault disagreed with the remarks of Opposition speakers that conditions were not as pros- perous in Canada as in the United States, and 'mentioned particularly the prosperity prevailing in the boot and shoe industry, which drew from R, B. Hanson, Conservative mem- ber for York-Sunbury, the question that if conditions were so good in 'the boot and shoe ipdustry, why Ames, Holden Company had fafl- "for the first time to pay bond interest. To this Mr. Archambault replied by asking Mr. Hanson if he knew how much water there was in the stock of the Ames Holden Com- pany. ££ The member for Chambly-Ver- cheres alleged that the blunders in maladministration of the Conserva- tive Government during the war cost $29,000,000 more in yearly interest to the of this country than they should pay. QUEBEC "LOOKING AROUND A young Kingston visitor in To- ronto reports seeing the following notice in front of a Presbyterian church there: "What is Hell Like?" "Come in and hear our new organ." Grocers in Kingston spoken to by the writer say they have no inten- tion of handling 4.4 beer any more than they would the 2.5 drink. They are mostly large dealers who have trade enough without going into the beer trucking business. It is taken for granted, however, that some of the smaller stores will handle Pre- mier Ferguson's new drink. Mr. E. BE. Horsey has very satis- factorily settled the question raised about Murney tower. His contribu- tion in Monday's issue of the Whig will be appreciated by the local Historical Society. Before the snow again gets off the ground perhaps the Queen's university botany authorities might tell the lovers of hollyhocks how to avoid the rust that disfigured the big plants last summer. The Hortl- cultural Society officials could secure the information. A resident of Portsmouth tells the writer that fifty-three years agp at about this time in April there was a big snowstorm like that of Sunday. It was on Easter Monday in 1872, according to his recollection. It is also recalled that at Easter time twenty years ago there was quite a fall of snow, and Easter that year is said to have been after the 20th of April, --- Some of the golfers were disgusted with the wintry turn of the weather, but next Sunday may be finer, : The Bath chureli people should easily gather the necessary money to restore their burned historic edifice, for people of all denominations will gladly contribute a little.

Reference was made at the On- tario Educational Association con- vention last week to some high school young people entering the university without being able to write grammatically. There used to be a teacher in the old Kingston Col- legiate Institute named Thomas Brough who was said to be one of the most thorough English masters in the province. Some able writers owe their understanding of grammar to him for he was one who could im- part the rudiments.

Paris, April 21.--The ultimate imposition of drastic financial meas- ures, maintenance of an embassy at the vatican and the pacification of internal dissention, but above all, real security for France, were the prime points in the ministerial de- claration of the Painleve-Callaux- Briand cabinet read before the chamber of deputies and the senate to-day. Tumult in the chamber of deputies and absolute silence in the senate greeted the ministerial declaration. The chamber indulged in booing and cheering. Finance Minister Caillaux was greeted with cries of 'Bolo, Bolo" a reference to the executed war-time traitor Bolo Pasha, with whom Calillaux was at one time ac- cused with associating. The first act of the new Minister of Education, Anatole De" Monzie, has been to reinstate Professor Louis Barthelemy, dean of the law faculty of the University of Paris, who' was suspended by his predecessor, min ister Francois Albert. , ¥TESS OARNARVON 18 IN NEED OF MONEY As the Dennistoun Scandal Action Has Quite Depleted Her Purse. Londof, April 21.--The Countess Carnarvon is in need of money, and after disposing of some of her art works and antiques, she will go to California for a rest, it was report- ed In-art circles today, coincident with the' announcement of an auc- tion robm that it-had the articles for sale. It was sald the Dennistoun suit had cost the countess $125,000. Col. Ian Dennistoun, whom she married after the colonel obtained a divorce in France, will not accompany her to California. The possibility of the filing of a breach of promise suit against the colonel by an American actress was said to be the reason for his re- maining. Widow Ends Life of Sorrow By Turning on Gas Jet Montreal, ~ April 21.--Evidence yesterday at the inquest into the death of Mrs. Martin Butler, a widow, who was found dead beside an open gas jet in her room on Bleury street, revealed that she was sixty-five years old and unable to work any longer, that her first-born had been scalded to death in infancy, that her daughter had perished in the Herald fire in Montreal in 1910, that her son, Pte. Martin Butler, had died in the war, that on April 17th eleven years ago she had lost her husband, and that on the morning of that day this year her body was discovered by neighbors--a suicide.
