P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian, Sir Gilbert Murray, H. G, Wells, General Sir Hu- bert Gough and Sir Philip Gibbs, is published in the Times. THe letter recites the establish- ment of court-martial justice, points out how under powers now given to Dublin Castle all but a small mino- rity may be convicted of new offen- Ces created by the new coercion aet, denounces the suppression of public inquiry into the results of the sys- tem of "military lynch law mow in force, applied not to culprits, but to villages and towns of Ireland." The letter adds-- It is a common experience for whole streets to be burned, creameries destroyed and life taken in indiscriminate reprisals by which soldiers and policemen av- eénge the murder of constables. Not for a century has there been such an outbreak of military violence in these islands, so that the government having failed to restrain or punish this violence--they have now taken steps to prevent any civilian court from calling attention to it." The protest declares: "If these pro- . ceedings were of a kind to put an end to outrages and not to cause fur- ther mischief, they would not have called down the condemnation of such men as Lord Montéagle, Lord Shaftsbury, Sir Horace Plunkett and other leading Irishmen.

Dr. Blanche Norton, who ig Just re- covering from the malady after five months of treatment, says the pain 'of the daily treatments is so excru- ciating that she can readily under- stand how frail patients die from the nervous shock.

FATHER OF CHEESE FACTORY MOVEMENT P. W. Strong, of Brockville, Succumbs After a Long lliness. Brockville, Sept. 16.--Pitt Willlam Strong, pioneer cheese manufacturer of Canada, passed away Tuesday at his residence, 149 King street east, after a long illness, in his eighty- third year. Th elate Mr. Strong.was born at Evans Mills, N.Y., and came to Brockville when a young man. In 1864 the factory system of making cheese was established by the de- ceaséd who latterly built and had in- terests in the factories at Delta, Soperton, Roseville and several other roints in Leeds County, He was very progressive in his methods and beld patents on many important types of cheese factory equipment which are in'use to-day and highly thought of by cheese producers in general, About six years aPo he retired from active business life and usually spent the winters in California where Lhe held business interests. During his long residgece in Brock ville and vicinity the late Mr. Strong met with and made many friends among the citizefis who admired him for his honest and courteous business methods. -- The "Clemenceau" Hat GERMANS LOOTED TURKISH FUNDS Documents Relatin to Dis- posal of Secret Moneys Made Public.

Ottawa, Sept. 18.--Breadwinners, | who have been keenly aware of the | steady diminution of the purchasing | power of the dollar, will bs gla to | learn. that a tendency toward a de= | cline in prices of necessaries, disclos- | ed early in the summer, was main- | tained and was even more marked in | August than in the preceding months. | Records of the Department of Labo: | show that the index number of who} sale prices, which stood at 256.6 May, fell to 349.3 in June, to 346. ie July and to 330.2 in August. The drop from the July to the August figure was the largest noted in any like period since the winter months. It represents a decliné of approxima- tely five per cent. in wholesale prices. The decrease was due chiefly to low levels in the fruit and vegetable | Eroups, occasioned by the abundant crop, to decreases in prices of grains, cattle, sheep, ther, in some metals, . to slight decreases in other' gro Prices in some lines of buil ing material showed a decline, and in others an increase. Prices of linseed oil, shellac and turpentine fed con- siderably, it is reported, but, on the other hand, prices of dairy products, | fron products, coal, Boke and petro- leum products, rose. : In spite of the drop in the last | month, however, levels of wholesale prices are far above those of 1914, and even above 1919, : | BLAME WILL REST ON | THOSE WHO ENCOURAGE |Gen.
