Several of the Dominions, merepyer, are growing too tmportant | to be treated casually, When we in- jure Canada and Australia with our tariff we injure our best customer and a country that will soon be among the very best; we arouse resentment in widely separated parts of the Em- pire, and the result may be felt in' unexpected ways in London. Com: mercially and in other ways, we can- Inot tréat Ottawa and Melbourne too lightly, Sympathetic minds there may count for much fn meeting such questions as naval limitations. The wide-flung Empire is sometimes men- tioned as a reason for the diffteulty of the naval problem, but a proper com- munity of Dominion and American views may do much to solve it and other issues, ---- at i again be ke dupon by human r _ Civilization levelled the for- New Buildings at St. Hubert 'Drome Accommodation Will be Im- pro and Runways Paved at Airport Two buildings, one for administra- tion purposes, the other a dormitory for pilots, will be erected before the winter by the Federal Government at the St. Hubert airport. Captain A, C. Hardy, manager of the flying field, stated that there would be offices for the airport man- ager, the port civil engineer, the sup- erintendent of the mooring mast, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. Space will als» be allotted to the air port post office, the customs and immigration authorities. The second storey of the building will be reserved fo rthe radio and meteoro- logical services. Landing and take-off conditions will be improved considerably when the two proposed macadam runways are completed, When ready for use they will be 2,000 feet lovg and 150 feet wide. No definite word has been received regarding the sailing from England of the dirigible R-100, but it was an- nounced recently that the mooring mast was practically completed and the apparatus within it only requires to be connected electrically, while the elevator shaft will be ready for use in two weeks time: ---------- Water Supply is Scarce in England Continued Drought Brings Many Cities to Brink of Shortage . London--All over England the water supplies are again running low. Con- tinued drought has brought many cities to the brink of serious short- age. Manchester has only 30 days' supply left, and at Hull the water in the wells is about 20 feet below nor- mal. In the hill districts of Kent water is heing taken by cart for con- siderable distances to fill both farm and domestic requirements. Several deaths from the heat have been reported in the North of Eng- land. The express from London to Carlisle had to pull up in Westmore- land County, the "fireman being over: come by the heat. ------------ Lessons in Swimming Eherbrooke Tribune (Lib.): The Board of Education in Toronto now runs in many schools of the Queen City special bathing-pools, where the children, under the eyes of experi enced prof 8, can easily learn to swim. This example set by the City of Toronto should he imitated in other towns, as it is a fact that most of these who die in drwning ae- cidents are found among the number of those who do not know how to swim. In this province it is only a very few schools which have bathing- pools for the use of pupils and the majority of them have no accredited bathing professionals. -- - Ceres Mad as a loon, - Fesing all morning, - How long fs ft - ong a 1 your whole brain broke? i do, 3 3% '0 ig 1ed, 45 No Cream 31s in wo | urning sream--Special, 300: No. Chetse--No. Tia r args, col Solored, 1 al Pp hy over Tos, 31 A Thc! bs., 26¢; do, 1 roosters, per Ib.

Grain dealers on the Toronto Board of Trade are making the following quotations for car lots: Man. wheat--No. " north, $1.78; Ibs.,| Japan is increasing, Edward Hospes, C.P.R. agent fn Japan home after five years, gave two reasons why shipping from Canada to Canadians are going to the Oriental island for their holidays; and general business is rapidly increasing. The Japanese are giving practical encouragement to both. "They haw set aside $200,000 to be spent tu at tract tourists,' said Mr, "Japan Is not so far away as Cana. dians think, it is only 10 days away from the coast. And with new liners next year it will be only nine days away. "Something new in scenery is to be found in Japan. The people can make a garden out of a collection of rocks; everything is smaller and the whole country is a garden. -And the people 'welcome tourists. No firearms are al- lowed, but you can go out into the country for a week and meet nothing but friendship. You can leave your door unlocked at night. "Canada's commissioner will be welcomed, too, They have awaited a commissioner for years. People here do not understand what chances for new trade there are in Japan.

Famous Serpent Again Appears Wilsboro, N.Y.--Thrée young fisher- men, still excited over their experi- ence, insisted recently they had seen the famous Lake Champlain sea ser- pent whose existence has been af- firmed and denied by a confusing com- bination of fact and fancy during mora than 300 years since the lake's discovery. Thomas Bridge, of Willsboro village and two companions; Davis Riley and Wesley Guimby, were fishing at the mouth of the Boquet River, when what appeared to them to be a huge ser- pent or fish thrust its head high above the surface of the lake. The monster began shaking its tail violently, lash- ing the water into a sea of foam, Terrified by the spectacle, Bridge did not stop running until he had reached the village, two miles away, Riley and Quimby also beat a hasty retreat but said there could be no mis- take about what they had seen, The was was disturbed for acres around, they said. Bridge previously had scoffed at tales of a Lake Champlain sea ser- pent. The serpent has been some- thing of a legendary figure in this sec- tion, and the last time it was reported was 20 years ago, when it appeared between Fort Henry and Crown Point. In the chronicles of Samuel de * Champlain, who discovered tho. lake omically by the Chinese or the Soviet. But they are a friendly people, and especially friendly to Canadians and Americans, Makes Quick Turn A record voyage from Montreal to Glasgow was made by the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Atholl, Capt. E. Griffiths, on her last eastbound trip. Leaving Montreal at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 3, the 20,000-ton ship . covered the 2,672 miles to Glasgow im 6 days and 2 hours steamin gtime. ar. riving at Glasgow at' 6 p.m. on Wed- nesday, July 10. Proceeding on her voyage to Liverpool the Duchess dock: ed there on Thursday morning, and, making a quick turn, sailed again for Montreal on Saturday New German Liner to Try For Record Bremen Leaves Bremmer- haven for New York-- Speed War Forecast Bremmerhaven, Germany.--The naw North German Lloyd liner Bremen, Germany's hope in the transatlantic shipping competition, left her docks here 'recently on her maiden voyage | across the Atlantic. Completed in great secrecy after the partial destruction of her sister ship, The Europa, by fire, the Bre men is expected to threaten the trans atlantic speed record held by the Cunard liner, Mauretania. The new German ship is 920 feet in length, 100 feet in beam with 46,008 tons displacement. Her four mighty turbine sets total about 120,000 horse power, On a recent test run she reached a speed of 28 knots an hour but was believed to have held two or three knots in reserve, The Mauretania, whose record for the Atlantic crossing is five days, one hour and 45 minutes, has a speed of 26 knots. The Bremen is due at Southampton Wednesday and New York five days = = Tater. Among the features of the mew ship Is a gsea-plane catapult between the funnels-on the" topmost deck." If the Bremen succeeds in breaking the Mauretania's record, the greatest speed war in the history of transat- lantic shipping 1s expected velop. pee ty The Submarine Peril Philapeiphia Ledger: There seems to be only one sure way of increasing the safety of the submarine, and that is to abolish it altogether. Even as an instrument of way, it is one of which the unrestrained use is beneral- ly condemned. It is a weapon which is directed in the main against nom~ combatants and of which the effect is felt not by naval or military forces but by civil populations. The history of the World War shows that the sub- Taine, while it can sink an occasion al troopship, is virtually Dowsries against the armored battleship. to. J
