FIRE DAMAGES ODESSA CHURCE (Continued from page 1) nish assitsance if need be. The Odes- sa people were informed that the fire department would give ald if it was needed, but in about half an hour word was received that the fire was under control and it was unnecessary to . send equipment. When the news was received in the city, a representative of the Whig motored to Odessa, but by the time he reached there the fire was practically out. It was evident that the residents of the Wg thought they were going to up against a real fire, and for that reason every seat had been carried out of the church building, so, in case of the whole 'building burning, there would be that much less to feed the flames. In removing the seats, which had just been freshly varnished, a num- ber were broken. The Quebec heat- er, and the stove-pipes, had been taken down and put out on the street. The large platform at the back of the building had been car- ried to the other end of the church? but it was found too large to go through the door. . Confined to Front. i The sheet-iron roof on the bufld- ing kept the fire from spreading. The fire, which was confined to the front part of the church, made it n ry for some of the iron to be torn so that water could be pour- ed in. / The Whig representative was in- formed that never in the history of the village did the people organize and fight a fire as they did on Thurd> day evening. Not only did the men carry water, but the women, some sixty-five 'and seventy years of age, were right on the job.

GEN. CURRIE DEPLORES BRITISH STATEMENT Explains Why 25 Canadians Were Executed and No Australians. don dispatch in which Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, British secre- tary of war, was credited with stat- ing in the House of Commons, in re- ply to a question, that twenty-five members of the Canadian Expedi- tionary Force were executed during the war for military offences, five New Zealanders and no Australians, Sir Arthur Currie, formerly Tom- mander-in-chief of the Canadian Corps, made the following state- "It is most unfortunate that any such figures as those given In the cable should have been asked for and it is hard to see what conceiv- able good anyone can derive from the information conveyed. It seems, however, a little hard to explain why such question should have been ask- ed or answered in the British House of Commons without reference to Canada. The matter is one which concerns Canada alone. "The subject of military execu- tions was always painful, was one never discussed except when neces- sary, and it is lamentable to have ft reawakened. There is, however, an- other aspect of the matter. The ans- wer given by the secretary of war makes a most unfair comparison be- tween Canadians and Australians. The Governments of the dominions never gave up their authority over their own troops, but, so far as ne] cipline was concerned, this ao | was delegated more or less' complete- ly to the commander-in-chief of the British armies in France. This prin- ciple is definitely stated In an agree- ment made between the war office and the minister of overseas mili- tary forces of Canada in 1918.° Aus- tralia delegated authority on this point less completely than did Cane ada. For one thing, no court-mar- tial on an Apstralian soldier could "In the same way, it is generally known that no death sentences on Australian soldiers were ever to be approved. While this latter fact lished in orders and was a matter solely between the British: Govern- ment and the commander-in-chief and his adjutant-general, the situsd- tion was perfectly well known and realized.
