GARMANS GULTY BUT MAY ESCAPE Officials of Central Powers Un- likely to Suffer Physical Punishment. Paris, March 9.--The findings of the Blind Man Making Brooms at Toronto. This is a power machine installed to sew brooms in the factory of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. The operator is a Toronto man, aged 49, who has a wife and three children. He lost his sight three years ago. Formerly he was employed as a laborer and moulder. able with the machine to turn out as many broms as three hand-sewers. Another machine of this same type is on order and when it arrives all the | brooms, excepting the heavy rattan lines, will be machine sewn. He is FEED GERMANS IF SHIPS ARE GIVEN UP Allies Agree to Revitual Foe Un- til Next Harvest--Payment in Kind. A despatch from Paris says:--The Council of the Great Powers took ac- tion on Friday toward relieving the rather acute situation cfeated by the interruption of the negotiations at Spa concerning the taking over of Ger man ships and supplying Germany with food. Final action went over until Satur- day, but meantime, at a conference between David Lloyd George, the British Premier, M. Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister, and Col, Ed- ward M. House, of the American Peace Delegation, a resolution, drawn by Lord Robert Cecil, member of the British Peace Commission, was ten- tatively approved for adjusting the affair. This resolution provides that on the delivery of the ships the Allies shall undertake~to revictual the Ger- mans until the next harvest, payment being made in coal, potatoes, nitrates and other products which Germany has and the Allies want. The agreement reached between the British, French and American members of the Council leads to the expectation that the Council will ac- cept the settlement on Saturday, and that the negotiations at Spa will be resumed. a Commission on Responsibility for the War are still incomplete. It is under- stood the Commission will conclude that the officials of the Central Powers were morally guilty of the most hein- ous crimes, but that physical punish- ment would of necessity be retroac- tive, The Americans have announced themselves as unwilling to adopt any expedients the constttutionality of which might be questioned in the Europeans would have to act alone if they, were determined to punish the officials involved. A possible solution suggested is the formal denunciation in the preliminary pedce treaty of the officials of the Central Empires. rN Peace Conference Will Award Stce of Germany to Belgium Paris, March 9.--The Peace Confer: ence Commission on Belgian claims, it is reported, has agreed in principle to the Belgian demand for Malmedy and the surrounding district. In Bel- gian circles it is expected that this will result in the Peace Congress ap- ,| proving the handing over of this re- gion to Belgium. The Malmedy dis- trigt is. just east of the Belgian fron- German _do- years. . mination for a number northerhmost part of Norway, by an Revolution Has Been Launched In Scandinavian Countries A despatch from Christiana says: -- A strong revolutionary agitation is being carried out in Fenmark, the organization which is planning a re. volution on the Russian plan, accord- ing to report from Kirkenais to the Aftenposten. The organization plans to carry the revolution into Finland and Scandinavian countries. el 339 YANK SOLDIERS TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES Washington, March 9. -- Statistics compiled by the War Department | show that from the date of the entry of the United States into the war to February 21, 1919, there were 339 cases of self-destruction in the army. Of these 193 took place in the United States and 146 overseas. LAKE ERIE OPEN TWO WEEKS EARLIER A despatch from Cleveland says:-- Passenge: navigati n on Lake Erie opened two weeks eben this season. Boats to Detroit made the first trip March 10,'and between Cleveland and A despaten oo London "Tai | promi From eight' to twenty-seven persons are estimated to have been killed and from twenty-five to seventy-three wounded in rioting during the past three days at the Kinmel Miliary Camp at Rhyl, Wales, according to a Liverpool despatch veceived here on Friday night. Great property dam- age was caused, the despatch adds. pring to the latest reports from Liverpool the riot was started by about 200 malcontents. There were 26,000 Canadians in the camp await- ing "demobilization and embarkation. The men who caused the trouble were war casualties who had served for three years or more in France. They complained that their embarkation had been postponed while other men who had. seen less service were sent home. After the destruction of stores of all kinds on Tuesday by the discon- tented men, the situation took a more serious turn on Wednesday when the cavalry was called out but forbidden to use its arms. Troops from Chester intercepted the rioters in their march upon Aber- gele, near Rhyl, and also prevented a, threatened raid on the latter place. Five men were killed and 40 Jnjured; in the course of this Sighting, it is reported. _ There was further Promiscuous 76,799. HOME SINCE ARMISTICE "A despatch from om Ottawa says: --A | total 'of 30,356 Canadian soldiers and| dependents sailed from England for Canada during the month of Febru- ary, according to figures issued through the Militia Department. A small percentage of this total num- ber is still on the ocean. The Febru- ary figures show that 27,428 soldiers sailed from England during the month and 2,928 soldiers' dependents. Ever since the work of bringing home the men started, subsequent to the" signing of * the armistice; the monthly totals have been growing. The grand total of soldiers and de- pendents sailing from England up to the end of February is 76,799. By months it is made up as follows: November, 4,921; December, 18,925; January, 23,227; February 30,356.. he smallness of the November total is accounted for by the fact that transport work did not begin until the latter part of the month, ---------- BRITAIN'S LARGEST AIRSHIP IS ALL READY FOR FLYING A despatch from London says:-- Great Britain's largest airship 1s waiting to fly. Everything is ready to launch her at Selby, Yorkshire. Whether or not the airship will at- tempt a transatlantic flight is for the Air Ministry to decide, but ex- perts say she is capable of the flight. Although she weighs 30 tons she has a lifting capacity of an additional 80 tons. Speed of possibly 80 miles per hour is expected and, jn that event, New York could be Yéached in less than two days. AUSTRIA-GERMANY ELECTS A PRESIDENT A despatch from Vienna says:-- The National Constituent Assembly has elected Karl Seitz, leader of the German Social Democracy in Austria, Presidens and Herr Hauser, Social Democrat, Vice-President.

Most of the deaths were due to crushing, it is said, An unnemed major holding | the Victoria Cross and believed to be from New Brunswick, is reported to have been virtually trampled to death while attempting to defend the offi-| cers' quarters against great odds. The Daily Mail says that the Cana- dian authorities restored order with- out the assistance of British troops and declares that the matter is solely one for Canadian disciplinary action. The Canadian officials have in- formed the War Office that they do not desire any increase in shipping facilities as a consequence of the out- coerced by the action of the nioters. It is stated that 20 or 30 of the ring-| leaders, most of foreign extraction, | have been arrested by the Canadian | authorities, co-operating with the | civilian police. It is understood that | these men will be brought to London and lodged in the Bow Street station. ! The Official = Report:-- Canadian military <headquarters in London on Friday issued a statement with refer- ence to the riot by soldiers at Kinmel Park. The statement says the dis- turbance was entirely due to the de- lay in getting the men back to Can- ada. It was impossible to keep the promises sven the o EE eo state. ment adds, owing to the' shortage of vessels to con them ho The authorities, however, do wk res gard the rioting as justified, and the offenders, many of whom already are under arrest, will be vigorously dealt with. -A number co? civilians took the disturbances, and twelve of also have beca arrested and | over to the ~ivil au!horities. In the course of the trouble threa rioters and tw scutrics were killed and twenty-ona persons were" injured, including two officers, according to the statement. London, March 9.--Gen. Colquohoun, who was in command of the camp, in the course of a statdment on the riot: ing of Canadian soldiers at Kimmel said that no attack was made on the part in officers, who were treated with courtesy. "lI myself went in and out among the men freely," he added, "and somdq of them actually put down loot in om der to salute me--then they picked uy the loot again. "The reports of the damage to the camp are greatly exaggerated. Soma 650 or 60 men got out of hand and at: tacked some canteens. The men in one camp. anticipating danger, armed themsélves and, contrary to express orders, fired. That was on Wednes. day, when the fatalities occurred. "The girls' camp was not attacked, As a matter of fact the girls were treated with the utmost chivalry. No man entered the girls' rooms while they were occupied. "One man raised the red flag in an attempt to introduce Bolshevism. He was shot." 1 The Abergele correspondent of the Manchester Guardian wires that many who participated in the disturbances at Kimmel Camp fit is not believed have had any serious intention of re- volt. Some regarded the proceedings as rough-horse play. Writing of the most sérious part of the outbreak on Wednesday after: noon, the Llandudno, correspondent of the Associated Press, says:--*"It was at this stage that the casualties occurred. A detachment with loaded rifles grimly stood their ground, an officer warning the rebellious mob ot the gravity of the situation. This did not appear to be fully grasped by a number of the men. Still there was no room for misapprehension as the mob still came onward. The order was given to fire and the ranks of the mischief makers were forthwith broken. Besides an officer, four of the rank and file lost thelp lives, and about 20 others were more or less seriously wounded. Many arrests fol: lowed. This was practically the last incident of the outbreak." Kill the Incurable Cases, Hoping to Stop the Contagion A despatch from Stockholm says: -- In certain Russian provinces the mortality from typhus is so great that the Bolsheviki have issued a secret order to kill the incurable cases, hoping thus to counteract the contagion which is almost impossible to stop by any other means. Hardly any medicine is available. PS, 332,000 ROUMANIANS KILLED IN THE WAR A despatch from Paris says:--The Roumanian Press Bureau announces that 382,000 Roumanians, combatants in the war, were killed or died from wounds, 55,000 HOMES IN | BELGIUM DESTROYED BY THE GERMANS Lemont A despatch from London says:-- Ernest Smith, correspondent of tht London Daily News at Brussels telegraphs: "In a message sent of February 21 I gave the figure of thi dwelling houses destroyed in Belgiun during the early stages of the inv sion at 25,000 completely destroyel and about 2,000 partially destroyed Although the figures from the dia tricts where the last fighting oceun red are not definite, Senator Emil Vincent, Director of the Towns an Communes Union, which is collectin{ the figures, tells me the total numbet of dwelling houses completely des troyed is at least 55,000." ~ Complete Schoo FREE TO BOYS AND GIRLS This outfit contains: English School Case Japanese Pencil Box Special Drawing Pencil Rubber- fp bpd Lead Pencils Metal-cased Lead Pencils 1 Pen Holder Nour 1 Sct--24 Pieces Pen Points Box Crayons (28 colors) Eraser Box Paints Paint Brush Patriotic Blotters Packages Union Jack Flag Stickers 80 that you can put the flag on your school books, letters, etc. i] We will give you this whole 24-piece School Outfit free of all charge if you will sell just 30 packages of our lovely embossed Easter post cards at 10 "Cents a package (6 lovely cards in each package).
