USING STRAITS Shipping Men Anxious Over "Neeglect of Gulf By Ice ; Patrol SIX SHIPS DUE Montcalm is Great Distance Away from Ship Route to St. Lawrence Montreal, April 18.--Anxiety among shipping men here is in- creasing with the reports from the Qanadian Government icebreaker Montcalm, stating that although she is making headway, she will not be able to make Greenly Island, her destination, for some time, and therefore will not be able' to get into the Straits to be of assisance to the vessels due there, It is stated that although noth- ing definite has been settled, the hl .

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1928 to advise vessels of the route to be the | followed, and the whereabouts of the Se amers which left the other side for Montreal and Quebec om They | April 18 are due in the Gulf soom, the Mikula and the Lady Grey should be forced to work in the upper river on the ice in Lake St. Peter, thus depriving the .ships of the services of the former, the best icebreaker on the route. The shipping trade is unanimous that another 1cebreaker could be of use, and that the Government would be doing the trade a good turn if they spent money for this. It is stated that the econdiions under which the Montcalm is work- ing make her of no practical value to the airplane Bremen and her crew and that even had the Miku- la been sent, she would not have been able to proceed any further or te have done it any quicker, as the ice in that region, which does not usually open until about the end of June, is too strong for the best icebreaker afloat. Good Ice Reports from Gulf The shipping men state that the conditions for shipping in the Gull for the time of the year are womn- derful and could not be better, but that some sort of a patrol should be maintained in case of emergency, they are the SS, Montclare, SS. Melita, SS. Montroyal, Canadian Pacific, SS. Ausonia, SS. Antonia, Cunard Line and SS. Calgaric, White Star Line. In addition to these ships, there are also some freighters due, including the mew Canadian Pacific freighter Beaver- burn from the Continent and Lon- don, All the liners are carrying fairly full passenger lists, according to the lacal shipping office, but latest river ice reports are not favoring the ships and their scheduled ar- rival dates for Montreal. Not Much Change Signal Service officials :eclare that the cold snap of the past few days has not helped the situation at Sorelfi and that although the ice- breakers are making progress they are proceeding 'slowly and the ice is breaking away with difficulty, There is not much noticeable dif- ference in the river report, the river from Montreal being still open to a point five miles below the Signal Service Station at Cap St. Michel, The ice shoved a little at Bellmouth, leaving some open \ ARC ADE NEWS thts ed r------------------ + cm ed Ey {Empire Shopping Week: = 21a te 2006 April Empire Shopping Week Will Be a Great Car- nival of Bargains at The Arcade.

NURSE TELLS OF BREMEN LANDING Miss G, Ferris, of Labrador ~ Medical Mission, De- scribes Scene Saint John, N.B., April 18.-- New matters in connection with the notable flight of the Bremen west- ward across the Atlantic are dis- closed in an interview wity Baron "Huenefeld, leader of the intrepid party, received by the Evening Times-Globe and Telegraph-Jour- nal by wireless through the Red # | Hoad Station and relayed thence by telephone, It came from Miss Gre- ta Ferris, of Saint John, a nurse on the Labrador Medical Mission of Dr, Grenfell. It stated that a party from the mission station at Blane Sablon, learning of the landing of the Bre- men, travelled 15 miles by dog sled to Greenly Island to lend what aid they could to the airmen, The communication says that the baron was cold and very nearly ex- hausted when he landed, and had nearly lost hope of ever reaching land. THe first words of the men when they arrived, uttered both in English and German, were "Thank God!" Their first meal with the light- housekeeper and his wife, consist ed of biscuits and fresh milk, » | follows: The trio, said Miss Ferris, were all very modest when referring to their wonderful feat, Miss Ferris' message as it came hy wireless to Rsd Head. was as Fog Most of Way "Bremen; 36 hours Dublin to fireenly Island, Fog most of way, Arrive noon Friday, April 13, Mis- took lighthouse for steamer frozen in ice.

Refused to eat until his companions left 'plane first, "First meal was biscuits and fresh milk. Baron feels the cold and anxious to reach New York, Fitzmaurice says Labrador is not Ireland--is warmer there. Koehl does not complain, all very modest.

No guard," MAD DOG CAUSES WILD EXCITEMENT Animal Escapes from Veter- inary and Bites Two Cats i C ed Kingston, April 18.--Upusual ice'dents were attached to the cap- terre of a dog here which was be- | lieved to have been afflicted with relies. Dr. William Nicholds, spe- c7al investigator, had located the log in a home in the upper end of the city. He took the animal outside to destroy it, but it escap- ed and a wild chase across coum- try followed. The dog in its mad flight attacked two cats, which were shot, and vainly pursued a skunk. It was finally caught and shot, five miles west of Odessa, and 20 miles from Kingston. The head of the dog will be ex- amined by Dr. W. D. Hay of Queen's University. The chase caused much excitement in the city and country, ---- "MADE IN EMPIRE" GOO ------ FRANGE 70 SUBMIT ALTERNATIVE DRAFT 'OF PROPOSED PACT Britain, Germany, faly and Japan to Receive , Text BRIAND RETURNS Considerable Concern in Paris Over Kellogg's Pro- visional Draft _ Paris, April 19.--Still another step in the checkered course of the nc- gotiations for a treaty for the re- nunciation of war as an instrument of national policy will be registerod within three or four days when France submits her alternative draft of a proposed treaty to the British, German, Italian and Japanese Goy- ernments, which already have Scc- retary of State Kellogg's draft. For- cign Minister Briand returned from the provinces Tuesday night and im- mediately applied himself to perfect- ing the form of the French draft. Considerable concern has been left here ever since Washington sunden- ly delivered a provisional text to London, Berlin, - Rome and "Tokio which contained none of the French reservations demanded by M. Briand in the correspondence between France and the United: States on the subject. The Quail d'Orsay is cs- pecially puzzled as to what prompted Mr. Kellogg to circulate such a draft. The official report of Paul \Claudel, the French Ambassador at Washington, to M. Briand after the Ambassador's first conference with the Secretary relative to the reserva- tions in-M. Briand's last note was that- Mr, Kellogg himself said that he saw rio great objections to the French position, Surprised Claud:l A dew days later, it is said, Mr. Kellogg completely surprised Mr. Claudel by telling him that Wash ington intended to append a draft form to the correspondence between Paris and Washington which the two Governments had planned to send to the four other great Powers, At this news the French promptly declared that it Washington desired to go so far as to submit a tentative draft Paris would prefer that the ence alone; France had understood United States submit the correspond- that all the two nations were to submit to the other capitals on the subject was the complete correspond- ence, However, aiter three months of an unsatisfactory and indecisive ex» change of notes, between Paris and Washington, the American State De- rr -------- ee ---- partment finally chose to act alone. Naturally this was not over-pleasing to M. Briand, and the Quai d'Orsay swiftly decided to circulate its own conception of how far war may safe- ly be renounced. : M. Briand's chibf aim now will be to formulate a strong and logical French drat, taking care of all the exigencies which Mr. Kellogg's draft completely ignored, 3 This means that all the reserva- tions of which by the nature of things the members of the League of Nations are obliged to take 'cog~ nizance will be presented separately by the French, strongly enhancing the probability of support by Great Britain and other Powers for the Paris draft as against the American, Officials here are confident of Brits ish support in large measure and it is difficult to say how the three oth- er big Powers can fail to back most of the French reservations. Negotiations Follow From a practical viewpoint, once the French draft is in the hands of the others of the "Big Six," there looms one certain result, Before any faintly acceptable formula can fin- ally be shaped among the six Gov- ernments, protracted and difficult negotiations will be required and in all likelihood what may eventually enierge--if anything possible of un- animous ratification ever does emerge ~will not coincide throughout with either the Kellogg or Briand draft. But, should any agreement be reach- .business corporations much nearer the French thesis than ed some months hence, it. will be the American. Otherwise the war renouncing negotiations will end in a stalemate. : : EL CL HC PROFITEERING ON GETS NOTICE TO QUIT New York, April 18.--Profiteer« ing on the dead is the latest as- serted form of graft which has been brought to the attention of Attorney-General Ottinger. Hear- ings have been held in his office for more than a week under the direction of Assistant Attorney General Conklin and Deputy Assist ant Beyed. Conklin sald that proceedings wil! be instituted against the Ceme~ tery Gardens, Inc, and its officers for an accounting and to compel observance of the law. "The policy of the state as de< clared by the legislature and the court with respect to cemcleries said Mr. Conklin, "is that they are not to be owned and operated by for profit, but are regarded as essentlany sacred and semi-publie in character, "It now is charged that a nums« ber of cemeteries are conducted by purely business corporations and the provisions of the cemetery law are ignored, funds dissipated in ex« cessive salaries and private ontere prises of promoters.
