Marie, Ont.-- Between three o'clock in the afternoon and eight-thirty o'clock in the evening, four of the bodies of the six victims of Sunday's drowning accident were, recovered from St. Mary's River. At three o'clock, the body of Clement Cormier, aged 18, was found by Mike Bolssineau and Charles Stone, two In- Holland Hit by : British Embargo The Hague.--The recent British em- bargo on imported meat -from--the Continent is causing increasing trade depression among Dutch meat export- ers as well as grave concern among cattle breeders. According to current opinion here, Holland does not deserve this treat- ment, as the objectionable meat, it is alleged, came from Belgium, whence it was transported in closed vans via Rotterdam. The Hague Government has thus issued a decree prohibiting transit of fresh meat, hoping that Bri- dians, who had dragged the river con- stantly since 8 o'clock in the morning. | At 4.80, the body of Arthur Tessier, | aged 16, was recovered and before 8 o'clock, after some 50 boats had been | pressed into service; the bodies of | Margaret McIntyre, aged 17, and] Emily Terry, 15, were found. The | dragging operations continued until, well after dark.

The success attending the work of the searchers is no doubt due to the fact that the bodies have started to rise and are more easi.y grasped by the grappling iroms. Insects Seen as Man's Conquerors on Earth|. Oakland, Calif.--Humans and in- sects face a death grapple for the mastery of the earth, with the condi- tions of warfare favoring the insects. Dr. L.. 0. Howard, Chief of the bureau of entomology, United States Dept. of Agricu'ture, said this in an address at the tenth annual conven- tion of the Pacific division, American Association for the Advancement of Science. "If human beings are to continue to exist," he said, "they. must first gain mastery over insects. Life may develop into a struggle between man and insects for the mastery of the earth. Insects in this country con- tinually nullify the labor of 1,000,000 men. "Insects are better equipped to oc- cupy the earth than are humans, hav- ing been on the earth for 50,000,000 years, which the human race is but 500,000 years old."
