The news came with a terrible shock to Mr. and Mrs Stewart, as only on Monday they received a let- ter from Rodgie saying he was well. Taey gave two of their sons to the Empire, and now the younger has fallen after doing his duty nobly. The late Lieut. Stewart was born in Kingston twenty-one years and eleven months ago. He was edu- cated at the Collegiate Institute and the Royal Military College. At both institutions he won a wide reputa- tion for his work not only in the class room, but on the rugby field, where his ability in "bucking the line" always made sure of his posi- | tion on the team. He played for both the Collegiate and the R.M.C. When nineteen the war broke out and he received a commission while in his second year at college and went overseas with the R.C.H.A. For over two years and a half he served at the front with the Canadian artil- lery. The Stewart brothers were several times together behind the lines and agaia in London where they had | furlough. It Is consoling to the be- reaved parents and two sisters that the elder son and brother is able to be at the burial of the brave young officer who will lie in a grave in old France where so many Canadians sleep.

That such reprisals may be | found necessary was hinted strongly {estorduy afternoon after the State Department had announced that the | Belgian Minister had called the at- tention of this Government to the de- portation of these Belglans. | It apears that certain civilian prisoners were taken at Tabora, Ger- men East Africa, and sent by the Bel gian authorities to France for intern- 'ment. This action taken be | cause of bad living conditions in the | colony. Germany alleged that this interan- | ment of the German prisoners was in- humane, and negotiations followed {through the medium of the Vatican. : Belgium offered to exchange the pris- joners for Belgian subjects interned in Germany. The German Govern- | ment promised to take this offer un- | der consideration. However, 24 days |atter the German promise was made, {according to the communication de- livered by the Belgian Min'ster to the State Department, "the German Gov- ernment, without answering the pro- posal which Belgium had made, bru- ! tally arrested at Brussels and deport- | ed to Germany some 20 perscas, all {| colonial officials or directors of | colonies. id 120 TIMES AS MANY SHELLS AS IN 1914-15 | The Production in Great Bri- | tain is Still Well Ahead of. Demand. - London, July 1 10--F, G. Kellaway, jof Bedford, Parliamentary Secretary of the Department of Munitions, | speaking at Luton, said that despite | the gunners' enormous expenditure of shells, thé production was more than keeping pace. The total output at present was | twenty times that of the first year of the war. This was eloquent justi- fication of the dilution of labor, The Government's proposals were to allow the dilution of labor on private work in order to bring a proportion of skilled men now en- gaged on private work to war work in shipyards, agricultural imple ment works and aeroplane produc- tion. The interests of labor would be fully safeguarded in the scheme. Sweden Supplies Germany. | Washington, July 10.--An official wih Sweden Jn furashing supplies to Germany reveals that the Centra!

Sir Sam Hughes Declares That the Clergy Should Not be Exempt Un- der the Conscription Act. Ottawa, July 10.--Sir Sam Hughes vesterday afternoon gave the House another chapter in his series of at- tacks on Sir Robert Borden and Sir Thamos White. He now adds the ame of Lord Shaughnessy to those vho hindered recruiting. Asked by Sir Wilfrid Laurier if he had any reply, Sir Robert said that his denial was already complete ind there was nothing to add. Sir Sam's remarks were partly as fol- lows: '"The situation from February, 1916, to the autumn of that year was unique. Men were enlisting up till February and March as they never lid before in any land. The home locality plan worked well. Then the Prime Minister, as well as the Min ister of Militia, was daily, some times hourly, worried by a fictitious agitation. Suggestions, complaints, advice, appeals, demands about re- cruiting were made. Blames Shaughnessy. "Possibly more than any other, ex- cept the Finance Minister, the in- fluence of Lord = Shaughnessy was potent in this embarrassment. Both Lord Shaughnessy and Sir Thomas White complained of the number of battalions being raised in Montreal and Toronto at the same time re- spectively. In the Montreal area, with a total population of nearly a million, including the adjoining counties, there were being recruited three battalions. On our basis of forty thousand for a battalion of one thousand, there should have been at fleast twenty to twenty-one instead of three. In Toronto there were five, or, including two formerly authorized but fully completed, oiily seven were under way where, as compared with the country districts, there should have been twiflve. From one or other of these two gentlemen the following fallacious arguments were also advanced. "Industries would be ruined if so many men were enlisted. "Farmers could not.-put in their crops. "Munitions could not be made. "The war would be over by July, or August, 1916. could not be had. ~1"it would take a long time to get the troops to England as only a cer tain number could be taken monthly, "From first to last the tendency of the cry was not the upholding and srengthening of the boys at the front: so much as the commercial idea at home."

DISPLAY HEROISM IN MESSINES FIGHT New Zealand Men and the Offi- cers Fought Till Forcibly Sent Back. Londan, July 10.--Stor.es of the super-heroism of New Zealanders at the Battle of Messines are related by Malcolm Ross, special corres- pondent with the New Zealand fore- es. He tells how wounded officers and men fought on until forcibly sent back; how a private, single- handed, charged through their own barrage in order to silence a strong enemy machine gun emplacement, actually accomplishing this remark- able feat; how a chaplain, under the heaviest fire, continuously tended wounded men Trom early morning until late at night, and how one by one all of a company's officers fell, then the non-coms., and still some masterful private continued to carry on with initiative and gallantry. It was thought that the high- water mark for gallantry in this division was reached on the Somme, but the record of Messines excelled all previous standards. War Tidings. The French continue their ad- vance. Several hundred prisoners were taken Monday, and also ten machine guns The Germans are unable to stay the Russian sweep. Three thousand prisoners and ten guns were taken Monday afternoon. It is expected that the British Government will propose drastic measures to combat the air menace.

Amsterdam, July 10.--Uncon- firmed reports received here to-day state that the Kaiser has decided to accept the resignations of Foreign Secretary Zimmerman and Vice- Chancellor Helfferich. Foreign Secretary Zimmerman has long been under fire in Ger- many, particularly for his bungling of the Mexican-Japanese plot against the United States. Vice-Chancellor Von Hellferich has been charged with his chief, Von Bethmann Hollweg, in blame for many of the conditions in Ger- many. AS _Bomns DROPPED. Canadians Despite Bombardment Refused Postponement. London, July 10.--While guns thundered outside in attempting to repel the German air raiders on Saturday, A. 0.

When the German bombs started dropping on the city it was suggest- ed that the ceremony be postponed and the party adjourn to a safer re- fuge, but both the bride and groom declined a postponement. Both the parties are from Montreal. Ww EDDED " SUBMARINES A FAILURE German Deputy Demands Immediate Peace.

LAST EDITION BE WHEAT CROP PREDICTED The Western Harvest May Equal or Exceed Tat of 1955. WEATHER CONDITIONS FINE AND THE WHEAT IS IN EXCEL- LENT CONDITION. More Than 200,000 armers in Western Canada Growing Wheat --Prospects Improving For Both Field and Garden. Winnipeg, July 10.--A bumper wheat crop that may"equal or even exceed the slightly record-breaking . harvest of 1915 is forexasted by Winnipeg grain traders. There is only one "if""--i weather continues to be favorable, western Canada's 1917 wheat crop may be the biggest in history. Present conditions of the growing grain in western Can- ada and present weather are the rea- sons for the optimistic predictions. Conditions this season are almost identical with those that obtained in 1915. Wheat has had about the same start, rains have fallen during the filling-out period, cold weather has hardened the grain in the Jthat ground, and no severe rain or hall storms have damaged young plants. Several traders predicted that the crop will exceed that of 1915, They base their opinion on the facet that a larger acreage has been sown, the farmers have been more careful of the seed and of cultiva- tion. The west produced 376,000,- 000 bushles of wheat two seasons ago. More than 200,000 farmers in western Canada are growing wheat. A large percentage of them increas- ed their acreage last spring. Deputy Minister Evans, Manitoba Department of Agricul- ture. thinks the outlook is very satisfactory, and the recent precipi- tation, followed by the present warm weather, is furnishing ideal condi- tions. The prospects are improving daily in both field and garden. T. A. Crerar, president of the Grain Growers' Grain Company, is more = conservative regarding the outlook. He said the prospects are good for an average crop, aa the added crop will be somewhat late. The crop in southern Alberta and western Saskatchewan is first class, while an average crop Is expected In eastern Saskatchewan and Mani- toba. of the SAYS SHE IS THE MOTHER Boston Woman Claims Mrs. Gould is Her Daughter.
