# 4 GERMAN MOTION PICTURE FILMS OF Uâ€"BOAT MURDERS FOUND Camera Men on Submarine Took Views of Undersea sels Shelling British Shipsâ€"Were Designed For A despatch from New York says:â€" Motion picture films taken from the archives of Grand Admiral von Tirpitz in the former Kaiser‘s admiralty, and showing allied vessels being torpedoed by German Uâ€"boats during the world war, have been brought here by J. H. Macksum, a Knights of Columbus secâ€" retary. The films, which were designâ€" ed for exhibition by Germany on the day of its triumph, were made by camera men on a submarine which was commissioned to cruise about the Irish Coast and photograph merchant vesâ€" seis after they had been attacked by undersea craft. This boat used more than 40,000 feet of film. _ _ _ "It was largely through the influâ€" ence of the present German Governâ€" The Stirling County Council has deâ€" clded that the proposed bridge over the Forth at Alloa, should be paid for by the Government.

"During the revolution the Admiralty offices were raided by the mobs and the canisters containing the celluloid reels became scattered about. At Coblenz I made friends with a former high ranking army officer and he secured the films from a revoâ€" lutionary leader whom he knew posessâ€" ed them." CANADA SELLS SURPLUS WHEAT The pictures depict the Uâ€"boats shelling four British vessels while those on the ships were swimming for lifeboats and rafts. A torpedo leayâ€" ing the tube of a submarine and speedâ€" ing toward its victims is also shown. Receives Cash For Every Bushel of Grain. A despatch from London says:â€" With contracts with Britain, Belgium and Italy for the supply of wheat signed, and contracts with France, Poland and Portugal for wheat, barley and flour, now under negotiation, Canâ€" ada sees her way clear to the dispouli of the whole of the year‘s exportable‘ grain surplus. So far over 800,000| tons of wheat are actually contracted| for. It is expected there will shortly be an announcement of the sale of 200,000 tons of wheat to France, which will be paid for on a cash basis, and a sale of flour, which will pRzably be financed under the French credit of $25,000,000. It is understood Poland is dickering for wheat, but there is difficulty in the matter of payment, and Portugal has enquired for Canaâ€" dian barley. Canada has not sold a bushel of wheat except for cash, as it is considered our foreign credits should not be used for the supply of such a necessity, wheat being almost legal tender in Europe these days. The Dominion‘s greatest difficulty has been to sell flour, and France may | therefore be allowed to use her credit | to pay for what she takes in that line. PLAN TO BLOCK BELLE ISLE STRAIT Make Winter Navigation in Gulf Practicable and Imâ€" prove Climate. A despatch from London says:â€"â€"A' lins of fast steamers will shortly bal running fortnightly from New York to Liverpool, which will call at St. John’s,i Newfoundland, and Halifax, says ai statement by Sir Edgar Bowring, High Commissioner for Newfoundâ€" land, who has just returned to London. He added that Newfoundiand was exâ€" pecting help from the Imperial Govâ€" ernment in the direction of more rapid and frequent communication with Britain. Newfoundland was considerâ€" ing a proposal, recently broached in Canada, for blocking the Straits of Belle Isle to make Winter navigation in the Gulf practicable and improve the climate of the eastern seaboard of Canada and Newfoundland. A despatch from London says:â€" Andrew Bonar Law, Government leadâ€" er in the House of Commons, announcâ€" ed that the Government was arrangâ€" ing with France and Prince Feisal, son of the King of the Hedjaz, for the immediate withdrawal of the British troops from Syria and the assumption of the duties of occupation by the French and Arabs, pending the conâ€" clusion of the peace treaty. Payments Made Russia By Britain in Two Years A despatch from London says:â€" Cecil Harmsworth, Underâ€"Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the House of Commons, said that Constantin Naboâ€" koff, who represented Russia at Lonâ€" don, had received from Great Britain, between March, 1917, and March, 1919, when payments ceased, more than £124,000,000.

The corn harvest of 1918 in Britain was more than 2,000,000 tons larger than that of 1914, while potatoes also showed a big increase, in spite of shortage of labor and fertilizers. "Stripping cows between the thumb and finger tends to dry them up," says a young man in our neighborhood. "Take hold with your hand and milk," he says. "That is the only way to do a good job." Since I heard him say that I have been paying some attenâ€" tion, and I believe he is right. Britain‘s Harvest Increase. Live Stock Markets. Ontario‘s New Prime Minister Ernest Charles Drury, who is likely to be Ontario‘s next Premier, farms 250 acres at Crown Hill. Crown Hill is one of those little places that lost its postoffice when rural mail routes were organized, but it is about five miles from Barrie on the "Penetang" road. â€" Two hundred acres of Mr. Drury‘s possessions were selected and pioneered by Mr. Drury‘s greatâ€"grandâ€" father in 1819, and have been in E. C. Drury, who has been leader of the United Farmer parties in Ontario. possession of the family ever since, The new Leader is a good, practical farmer, with the added advantage of a course at the Guelph College and the degree of B.S.A. He hasn‘t specialâ€" ized in his farming to any great exâ€" tent, though perhaps he takes more pride in his herd of dualâ€"purpose Shorthorns than in anything else. Of late years he has given much attenâ€" tion to the U.F.O. movement, with particular relation to the tariff. Alâ€" ways he has been active in the comâ€" munity life at Crown Hll. The fact that the church and the school are almost at his door made easy his atâ€" tendance at these meeting places. ‘ The new Leader is a little over forty years of age, is strong and well built, and has a determined look. His family consists of wife and five children, three boys and two girls. His eldest son will be able to run the farm while father runs the politics of the Provâ€" ince. In religion Mr. Drury is a Mcthodist. Marine mines to the number of 300,â€" 000 were made in British factories; of these only 130,000 were actually laid.

This, according to Sir Hamar Greenwood, Underâ€"Secrétary for Home Affairs, who made the anâ€" nouncement before the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, is "a move unique in the history of the Empire." Walter Hume Long, the First Lord of the Admiralty, has given his assent to this special service, Sir Hamar declared. Treaty Effective A despatch from London says:â€"The Germeay Peace Treaty may come into effect on the anniversary of Armistice Day. It was announced by Cecil Harmsworth, â€" Underâ€"Secretary â€" for Foreign Affairs, in the House of Comâ€" mons, that the Government hoped the treaty would be formally ratified on November 11 and come into force the same day. ® On Armistice Day ‘â€" Uniforms may we ®9e * 1/ l1’unct,lmu arising out of the war or ‘ peace celebrations by retired or halfâ€" ' pay naval officers.
