Fixing a New Price For News Print-- Not Time to Analyze the Auditor's Report--Deductions in Costs Are Reported. 3 The public of many Canadian cities will soon be without a daily newspaper 'if certain news print paper manutac- turers carry into effect thregts they have made to cut off on October Ist the supply of news print paper to their Canadian, daily newspaper customers. Early this month Price Bros. & Co. Lid, notified its Canadian customers that it would not supply them with paper after October 1st. = J. R. Booth gave similar notice to certain of his customer, manufacturers have threa d that LE also will cease supplying pa to' Canadian daily newspapers on October 1st, It is%a coincidence that the date re- cently set by Commissioner Pringle for the fixing of a new price for news print paper in Canada is the sanie as that fixed by the manufacturers for their "strike" in the matter of supply to Canadian daily newspapers. It is unthinkable, of course, that there should be any connection between the ultimatum of the manufacturers and the action of Commissioner Pringle. The confidence of the public in Royal Commissions would be seriously af- fected if there were any justification for a suspicion that the parties being investigated could stifle investigation and secure a favorable decision by threatening to cut off sypply unless a satisfactory decision were givery by u specified date. But the fact that such threats have been made by the news print paper manufacturers makes it all the more important in the public in- terest that no further increase in the rice of news print paper shall be al- owed until the fullest investigation) in accordance with the policy an- nouhced by the government has made it clear that such increase is justified. Impossible to Analyze. The newspapers claim it is a physi- cal impossibility ,to cover the great mass of material accumulated by the Commission's auditor and expert in time for it to have its paper bearing on the price fixed on October 1st. The Commission's auditor, G. T. Clarkson, and his staff required over six months in which to conduct their re-investigation of the manufacturers' records and prepare the report that was mtended to be the basis and start- ing point of a thorough investigation, newspavers had qbeer assured that 'when this rep fas ready they would be given ample time to analyze it and prosecute such further enqui- 'ries as that analysis might indicate were Hecessary hefore being called upon to take part in public hearings. ddenly, and even before. the re- pleted. a nublic for September A a bey jmen." ) London, Sept, 25.--Marshal Foch, commander-in-chief of the Allied armies on the western front who dis- likes interviews and rarely grants one, received a few newspaper men at his headquarters on Tuesday. Among those received was the cor- respondent of the Telegraph, who thus records the Marshal's brief ut- terances, made in an ejaculatory manner with the use of hardly any verbs: "The British army is better than ever. It fights better than ever. All of its losses have been made good and it is a more splendid army than it has been before. "The Americans are splendid and aré wonderfully gallant in the. ad Ten thousand fresh Americghs arrive in France every day. "The French army is the same good old army that it was in 1914, No more is to be said." In discussing the general situation the marshal said: "The enemy is shaken up and shaken up and shaken down, but is still holding out. You must not think that we shall get to the Rhine immediately, We have passed over the crest and are now going down hill. If we gather impe- tus as we go, like a rolling ball, so much the better." With a few cordial words, the mar- shal then dismissed his interviewers and resumed his work on his maps. HERTLING'S SPEECH = UNFAVORABLY RECEIVED By The Reichstag Members-- Unequal to Gravity of he Situation. 12th.

The govern- ment counsel, it is true, intimated to Commissioner Pringle at the hearing at Ottawa this week that this infor. mation" should he obtained. but his representations appear to have been ignored. i (Canadian Press Deapaich) London, Sept. 25.--The speech of Count von Hertling, German Imperial Chancellor, delivered yesterday in the reichstag main committee, made an unfavorable impression upon the reichstag members, the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at Amster- dam reports. In reichstag circles the address is considered to have been unequal to the gravity of the situa- tion in that parliamentary body, whose parties were to meet this morn- ing to decide upon thier attitude to- (wards the chancellor. The Berlin rLokal Anzeiger says it hears authori- tatively that if Count Von. Hertling resigns, Vive«Chancellor Von Payer and Herr Friedberg vice-president of the Prussian Ministry of State, will also resign.

ALLIED WAR LOAF ADOPYED BY CANADA Twenty Per Cent. of Substi- tutes Must be Used With Wheat Flour. Ottawa, Sept. 25.--Canada has adopted the allied war loaf 20 per cent, of substitutes must be used with wheat flour. Announcing this policy an official memorandum says: "The Canada Food Board, after full consideration of the matter has adopted the policy of the ' allied Food Controllers' resolution as far as wheat products are concerned, and will use the allied loaf. This means that 20 per cent. of substitutes must be used with wheat flour. "The Government heartily ap- proves this policy. While the crops in Europe and the United States have been, considering everything, excellent this year, and while there is a sufficiency of food in sight to meet our requirements for the next twelve months, nevertheless there is the greatest need for conservation, particularly in flour and wheat, for the purpose of creating a- reserve sufficient against widespread unfav- orable harvests or other unfavorable food conditions next year. The Goy- ernment, therefore hopes the people of Canada will heartily and loyally assist to this end by using in their households the amount of substitutes required under the regulation."

Hamemtary po THOUSANDS ARE | On Tuesday shortly after the noon hour the gates of the Fair Grounds swung open and the most pretentious exhibition ever attempted in the old City of Kingston commenced the first of a series of four days' showing. Classed among the outstanding fall fairs of the province, the Kingston Industrial Exhibition has attained its prominent position largely through the unflagging efforts of its secretary- treasurer and manager, Robert Bush- ell. At the opening he was present welcoming citizéns and farmers to the show. As they filed through the wickets he was there with outstretch- ed hands to greet them and to extend to them the appreciation of fair association for their interest if"the exhibition, After several weeks of most dis- couraging weather the sun emerged from a darkened sky just at the hour of opening and with it came the beam- ing smile of Manager Bushell. Pes- simism was never a characteristic of the head of the fair and he even pre- dicted fair weather for the opening of the exhibition in his advance notices. '"Equinoctial storms are over and bright weather is coming," said he in his posters and heralds. Jupiter Plu- vius was put to flight on opening day and Old Sol surveyed the grounds in his finest paiment and in all his glory on Tuesday afternoofl.. Indeed, it was quite warm on the midway and the sun beat down upon the moving crowds that gathered to hear the tales of the '"spielers;" At two o'clock the official opening was to have taken place on the grand stand, but unforseen circumstances arose and it was found that the ad- dresses of Mayor Hughes, President Colin Rogers, Manager Bushell and several other 'gentlemen closely as- sociated with the exhibition would have to be deferred. Never Been Duplicated. Taking a 'wide survey of the exhi- bition it can be safely sald that noth- ink like it has ever been seen in the Limestone City. The magnitude of the preparations, the multiplicity of the attractions, the diversity of the exhibits, and the general elaborate- ness have never been duplicated with- in' the confines of the Fair Grounds, For weeks Manager Bushell has been preparing for the show and he has gathered together on the grounds a spectacle unexcelled in this dfstrict in any previous autumn. The Crystal Palace which has been remodelled and refitted contains ex- firms, both local and outside, which have shown a practigal interest in the success of the exhibition, The stalls have Been daintily ar- ranged and are a treat for the eyes. No pains have been spared to adorn the booths in prettiest colors and the blendings are in brightést shades. Practically all - the most successful merchants In the city have placed their wares on view and they are very tastily arranged. Besides the local merchants a number of outside firms have demonstrated their faith in the advertising value of the Kings- ton Industrial Exhibition, and em- ployees are showing the merits of many gnational products, The gov ernment departments have also dec- orated several very attractive stalls and the centre of the building is oc- cupied by some splendid sheafs of wheat, barley, oats and other grains which grew to a great height. They are appropriately placed and one is impressed with the fact that such a nucleus, 'representative of the basic industry, should be surrounded with the products of the factories. Returned Soldiers' Fancywork. Among the most attractive exhibits Vare the beautiful pieces of fancywork which have been entered for prizes. They occupy one section of the build- g.and are engaging the undivided a¥ention of those who are amazed at the time and y that must have been devoted eir completion. Every imaginable device is wrought on the cloth in scores of colors and they are marvels of beauty, Many ,comparisons were made be- tween the exhibition of ladies' needle work and that of the men who are in the © occupationa® and vocational schools here. To say that neither ex- cels the other is to pay a warm tri- bute to the men which they richly deserve. It is almost inconceivable that soldiers who had been through the hardships that a fighter must en- dure could settle down in the hospi- als and execute such beautiful work. Nevertheless the boys at Mowat Sani- torium and at Queen's Military hos- pital have completed e very hand- some tahle cloths, tea covers, lace work and cushion tops. Regimental crests appear to be favorites and splendid work has been accomplished. Wood-carving and basket work that has been done in the spare time are also on exhibition and they are truly masterpieces of workmanship. 'Pro- bably, no part of the soldiers stall is attracting so much attention as the artical limbs which were made by of the soldiers at Queen's Mili- EA Sh a ars mu © soldétrs--i8 the University hospital 10 have necessary spear 10 have be hibits. that are a credit to the many| LAST & DITION OMG NA AT THE BIG KINGSTON FAIR The Official Opening --The Exhibits Are All Splendid--Many Entertaining Attractions Including Horse Races and Balloon Ascension side the building the roosters can be heard in deafening medley. The sounds are forgotten, however, when one has the opportunity to see the many different varieties of feather- ed breeds that are on exhibition. In their tiny cages can be seen almost any specimen of the tribe from tiny chicks to pompous turkeys. No less astonishing are the varieties of vege- tables and fruit that are neatly laid out, All appear to be most palatable and they are very enticing. Apples, pears, plums, musk melons, tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, car- rots, turnips are but a few of the varieties of fruits and vegetables of great size that are being shown in the building. The Entertaining Attractions. Last but not least, the attractions. Outstanding of course is the midway, where every variety of entertainment from a monkey speedway to a Broad- way chorus can be found. The splel- ers with their unsurpassed line of talk are on hand in great numbers and they are an entertainment in themselves. All sorts of chance de- vices are to be found in the comces- sions as well as the hawker selling red lemonade and hot dogs, Trials of speed are being held every day on the track and the best horses in the province have been en- ered for the big prizes that are of- fered. Even on Tuesday afternoon after so much rain the track was in good condition and with the contin- uance of the good weather it is expec ted that it will improye. Unfortunately the baMoon ascen- sion did not take place on Tuesday afternoon as was anticipated, The huge silken mass was laid out in the found that the ascension which has brought 'thrills to thousands in past years could not be held as was sche- duled. Nevertheless it is promised that thosé who were disappointed on Tuesday will appreciate-all the more the hair-rising stunts of Prof, and Mrs. Farley, of New York as they drop in their tiny parachutes from the great balloon to Mother Earth. The Horse Races. The horse races at the fair on Tuesday were the green race and the 2.356 class. -There were eight | horses entered in the green race, {but three, Pomerin®, Joe Patchen and Toddleon, were withdrawn. Great interest was taken in this |Tace because the horses were un- { known, but at the conclusion of the second heat Dolly Patch, a three year old, owned by J. D.
