IN BORDER WAR Rum Rumners and Coast Guards Clash in Struggle for Supremacy Buffalo, Aug. 15--The struggle for supremacy between the rum-running fleet on the Niagara River and Lake Erie today blazed into spirited action, in which Government boats set afiire ' and sank one craft and captured two | others carrying contraband liquor and ; oi 3 the Niagara, below the falls, this afternoon a speedy boat carrying ! many cases of both whiskey and ale fell into the hands of the Federal Earlier in the day the C.G.-121 sighted a suspicious-looking craft off Brocton, on Lake Erier. A chase followed, during which the Govern- ment boat fired f.fty rounds. After the gunfire had set the rum- runner ablaze, the C.G.-121 took off the crew, and two men stood by while the damaged craft burned to the water's edge. The other boat was caught on Lake Erie, off Barcelona. Three hundred rounds were fired at it before the crew decided to heave-to and sur- 'render. Two men and a small quan- tity of ale were found aboard. It is ed into the lake during the chase. ° Liquor 'Flood Proceeds Windsor, Aug. 15--Not a single seizure of liquor of any size has been made by the United States border pa- trol since the Inter-Tranmsit and Erie Companies commenced to comply with the "clear-out" order of the On- tario Liquor Control Board, despite the fact that more than 100 men and 20 speed boats, with machine guns, were added to the forces of the Uni- ted States "Dry-Navy" on Lakes St. Clair and Erie during the last 48 hours. Boats and scows loaded to the gunwales with cases of liquor, are being landed at "points in Michigan and Ohio" without difficulty. The unprecedented activity at the docks of the two big liquor concerns indicate that there will be no diffi- culty in exporting all of the liquor for which bond has been given long before the 20-day time-limit has ex- pired. There's No New Rum Fleet Port Colborne, Aug. 15.--Reports issuing from Buffalo sources of the formation of a new rum fleet at Port Colborne are declared to be absolute- ly unfounded. Rum-running at this port is practically at a standstill. At no time has there been less rum-running from this port than dur- ing the past few weeks. One or two carloads a week is the limit of the rum-runners who . remain. Coast Guards have effectually blocked every a few rum boats are docked here and most of them have not been in usc this season. Customs officers, freight officials and even the rum-runners themselves admit that there is no bu- believed most of the cargo was heav- siness out of here. Durin' the last From Jamaica to the tables of the world CENTURY-OLD methods produced a certaingrade of ginger in Jamaica. But this grade wasn't good enough for "Canada Dry." And so, J. J. McLaughlin Limited went to Jamaica and offered prizes for ginger grown under modern methods of cultivation. The result was a new, ginger--of a higher, finer quality. That is the grade of ginger used in this fine old ginger ale. The other ingredients are of equal purity and high quality. They are blended and balanced in an exact proportion. Great care is taken to be sure that these proportions never vary. The uniform carbonation of "Canada Dry"--an important matter affecting flavor-- is assured by a secret method.

Only] week three of Port Colborne's largest exporters have left for destinations unknown. Last summer, an average week's business at this port for the rum- running fraternity was about 10 car- loads a week. At times that many car§ would be in the act of unload- ing at one time. Today one car rests on 'the siding that used to witness so much business. It has been the only carload here for nine days. BRITISH NINERS DUE AUGUST 18 First Influx of Special Har- vesters Expected Next © Week-End Montreal, Aug. 15.--The first in- flux of British miners bound for the harvest fields estern Can- ada will reach Can ports by the end of this week, according to advices reachng the offices of the Canadian National Railways here from the steamship companies which are handling these people on the ocean voyage. From the infor- maton w=iteady to hand, approxi- mately 1,600 will reach the ports of Quebec and Halifax on August 18 and on the followng day the second contingent of almost 2,000 miner-harvesters will land at the same ports. While the numbers of prospective harvesters aboard each of the ships are subject to correc- tion at the time of sailing, follow- ing were the estimates of the par- ties which would reach Canada, and the steamers by which they wil arrive, during * the coming week-end: S. S. Regina, S. S. Megantic due at Quebec August 18 with 400 and 250 respectively; S. S. Letitia and S. 8S. Aurania due at Quebec August 19 with 500 and 600 respectively. Expected arrvals at Halifax are: S. S. Arabic on August 18 with 950; S. S. Cedrc and S. S. Fran- cona on August 19 with 600 and 800 respectively. While arrangements for the handling of these harvester work- ers have not yet been completed by the railroads, it is anticipated that these will include the entrain- ing of the prospective workers of the ships' sides and their trans- port direct to Winnipeg, from whence they will be distributed to the various districts where there is a demand for them. In this case, representatives of the agricultural labor departments of the provincial governments are available when the men reach Win- nipeg and as they leave the train, special booths are operated in the station where the men are directed to waiting jobs and are ticketed through to their destinations.. BRITONS ADMIRE (UEBEG PROVINCE Dr. Lemieux Says Public Opinion Not Hostile in Old Country Quebec, Aug. 15.--The Province of Quebec enjoys an enviable repu- tation on the other side of the At- lantic, and people in Great Bri- tain are kept informed as to Que- bec being well administered and enjoying annual surpluses, declar- ed Dr. L. J. Lemieux, Agent-Gen- eral for Quebec in London, who is back in Canada for the first time in two years. Public opinion {s not hostile to the Province of Quebec and the French-Canadian, but on the con- trary, people-in England now real- ize that Quebecers are playing an important role in the political and economical development of Can- ada, Dr. Lemieux remarked. He was questioned as to what Britishers thought of Quebec's 1i- quor laws and replied that the Province has created a 1eputation for common sense and wisdom in the Critish capital as the result of this law. "Its subsequent ad- option by several 'other Provinces has put an end to the belief that we were retrogressing in political matters, since we have shown the right road to be followed not only to other Provinces, but also to our neighbor's" he stated. S---------------------- INNOVATION ATTAINS QUICK POPULARITY Tried as an experiment in pro- viding extra comfort for night travellers, the single room sleep- ing cars 'on Canadian National trans between Toronto and Mont- real! quickly reached tremendous popularity. So completely has this new travelling convenience met a long: felt want of the travelling public, that these cars now operate on both the ten and eleven o'clock trains to Montreal. Each room in the single--room sleeping cars is tastefully decor- ated. It provides every toilet re- quisite, has hot and cold running on the racks and under the bed. Deep springs and soft mattresses make travelling as comfortable as sleeping at home, . The popularity of this Canadian National service makes it advis- able to arrange for reservations early.
