12 eT ---- GERMANY'S BOOKLETS SLANDER GREAT BRITAIN They Contain Insulting State- ments and Are Being Sent to Canadians. : Ottawa, Aug. 25.---That . large Quantities of German booklets, con- taining insulting references to Great sBritatn-and the other-Allied-nutions were being rushed into Canada, and that the practice must cease immedi- ately, were the opinions expressed by bigh officials of the dominion com- mand, G.W.V.A. These booklets, it was alleged, were being.geceived by persons in positions of authority, and without the consent of the recipients, C. G. MacNeil, secretary of the do- minion command, G.W.V.A., is tak- ing the matter up with the govern- ment and has forwarded. a letter to the secretary of state asking for speedy action in terminating the in- flux of these pamphlets. The first action taken by the Q. W. V. A, was an appeal to the post office department, Mr. MacNeil said, when discussing the situation. This elicited the information that at pre- sent there was no legislation which could be invoked to prevent the entry and distribution of literature of this nature. Mr. MacNeill was convinced that the pamphlets were being freely eirculated, A passage in one of these book- lets, written "by Ferdinand Hansen, Hambury, Germany, says: "I hope the day may soon come when Ger- many will be able to cast off or cut oft the foul tentacle the English octopus has flung around her, when , the gallant little republic of Ireland will be freed of its English butchers and become a nation once again; when Gibraltar wil¥ once more be Spanish soil; stolen Malta, Italian; stolen Cyprus, Greek, and stolen German colonies, German; when the last Briton will be driven out of the great empire .of the Indian people, where his reign has been cruel, re- lentless and bloody." Another paragraph states: "I hops likewise that the day is not far dis- tant when the conquest of Canada, peaceful or by force of arms, will be an accomplished fact." The decision of the G.W.V.A. to combat this propaganda was taken after consultations with the presi- dent, R. B. Maxwell, PALLBEARERS CHOSEN FOR SIR SAM'S BURIAL 'The Premier or Hon.

Mal- lory, of Mallorytown, cattle buyer, cheese and butter manufacturer. All retired with the exception ®of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Mallory, the latter winning by a large majority on the first ballot. The principal speaker was F. F. Pard M.P. for West Lambton. In a longladdress he criticized the fed- eral administration for being unable to make up its mind to go to the country. ' The government, he assert- ed, had no mandate to carry on. be- yond the 'close of the war, and by doing so was violating the purpose for which it was elected in 1917. He denied that the Liberal party was a party of free trade. It would be un- wise, with the country laboring un- der a heavy burden, to remove the tariff for customs revenue. The Lib- eral party stood, he said, for plac- ing the burden upon the shoulders of those able to pay, and to relieve those of taxes who could ill afford to meet them. The greatest freedom of trade should be given in foodstuffs, and in this connection he stated that there never was a time when the farmers needed reciprocity with the United States more than now. Any govern- ment which might be returned to power would be recreant in its duty | it it failed to take advantage of a | clause in the Fordney bill whereby the tariff might be reduced. Mr. Par- dee made a strong plea for the farm- ers and Liberals to stick together, be- cause their principles, he said, were practically one. DATES OF FALL FAIRS.

Operations on the Volga fleet, the chief means of carrying food to the famine areas, is continued with the greatest difficulty because the crews are half-starved. In the Kazan area meny have been without bread since June, and, the correspon- dent says, dock workers often are without food for three or four con- secutive days, In Amara the people are eating all the grass that escaped the scorch- ing drought, and acorns are regard- ed as a luxury. of Seed Grain is Eaten, Riga, Aug. 24.--At least a partial repitition next summer of this year's crop failure in the Volga region now appears inevitable, according to of- ficial Bolsheviki advices and inde- pendent despatches from Moscow.

Than Country Cousin--An Old Belief Gets a Jolt, Montreal, Aug. 25.--The theory that the city-bred child is at a phy- sical disadvantage as compared with the country-reared child, on account of the fresh air, purer milk and food enjoyed by the people on the land, received a further rude jolt from a détailed report which has come in from the child health special train, which is now touring the province of Quebec, under the auspices of the Child Welfare Association. A survey, based on examinations conducted in 11 communities through which the train has passed, reveals the fact--so it is stated--that the country child is in a far inferior phy- sical, condition to that of the city cousin, The most outstanding physical de- fects, in order of occurrence, are: (a) dental, (b) improper posture, (c) ob- struction of the respiratory tract. Copper Is Discovered in Sheffield Lodes London, Aug. 25.--Rich deposits of copper of a grade superior to that found in Spain have been discovered in the Sheffield lodes. Assays have proved that the ore contains a remarkably high percent- age of the metal. Surveys show that more than 500,000 tons are in sight. The beds of ore are already known tp be at least 500 feet deep and the supply appears to be practically inex- haustible. Mining operations will begin next month. First All-Woman Jury.
