As far as could be judged by a layman, the gun was made by inserting an extra tube into a 15-inch long-range naval gun's barrgl, thus approximately doubling the thickness of the barrel and compelling 'it to {carry a shell of about 8 inches in- tstead of 15. ~The end of the war came before the gun could be put into action, " -- re fp nnn GERMAN DELEGATES ~~ .- p .TO PEACE CONFERENCE A despatth from Zurich says:---The Munich newspapers state that the German delegates to the Peace Con- ference will he Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau, the Foreign Minister; Prince Lichnowsky, former Ambassador to London; Court Georg Arco; and the Soctalist, Karl Kautsky, former Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the Ebert Government. -- a pene Admiralty Will Not Relax Blockade Against Germany -- ies TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO CANADIAN BOYS Live Stock Markets Toronto, Jan. 21---Choice heav steers,. $13.00 to $13.50; bute ¢ cattle, choice, $12,00 to $12.50; 4 good, $11.00 to $11.60; do. edit $10.00 to $10.26;; do. common, $8. to $8.50; bulls, choice, $10.20 to $11.00; do. medium bulls, $9.00 to $9.50; do. rough bulls, $7.50 to $8.00; butchers' cows; choice, 25 to $10.75; do. good, $9.50. to. $10.00; do. medium, $8.50 tos$8.75; do, common, $7.00 to $7.76; stockers, $8.00 fo $10.00; feeders, $10.50 to $11.502 canners, $6.00. to $6.50; milkers, good to choice, $90.00 to $140.00; do. om and mes wdoo00. 3 hs 3: pringers, . $00.00. to $140.00; light ewes, $10.00 to $10.50; yearlings, $12.70 to. . $13.25; spring ; lambs, $15.25 to, $16.00; calves, good . to choice, $16.00 + to $17,765 Bo weighdd off cars, $17.25; do; Ted an Watered, $17.00; do. fob. county ints, $16.26 Sg NE eal, 0 alo i $11,650; choice 2%. 50 to $10.50; good, © 0 to ® | medium to. $8,00;4 canners, $7.00 to © $8,003 785.00. 40 $6,005 sheen, $900 ta" + 00 uh $11 3150 Ys "mill #7 L $12.00 'to $15:00; grass. fed, $5.00. to $7.00; «choice : selec hogs; $1810 18.80. tc = 1 ¥ - 3 3 ve "A Worth:While' Pufchase.
