COAST GUARD BOAT EFFECTS THRILLING RESCUE ON STORMY LAKE ERIE 'A despatch from Cleveland, 0., ays: Successfully battling the waves of Lake Erie, United States coastguards early on Wednesday night brought to shore Harry Hols- worth, who, for 24 hoars, lay a victim f pneumonia on the waterworks crib, of which he was the keeper, five miles out It was one of the most thrilling rescues recorded in the annals of the Great Lakes' history. The coastguard power boat, with crew of eight men and a captain, set oat for the crib late on Wednesday in the teeth of a high wind, after several previous attempts had failed. ' An hour later, the boat itself became the -object of a rescue. As the power boat reached the crib, j John Hugo and Thomas B. Keller, Holsworth's assistants, tied a rope around the sick man. Then as the boat manoeuvred in close, Holsworth was lowered 20 feet to the ice-coated cabin roof as the vessel passed. I He was grabbed by two of the crew, who several times almost slipped into the water. Holsworth was finally placed inside the cabin, whets l)r. Harry L. Baird worked over him as the boat buffeted the waves on her landward trip. Half way back to the coastguard station, the power boat's engine went dead. The crew of the Frank W., which had been held in readiness by the Great Lakes Towing Company, steamed out into the lake and towed the boat to shore. An ambulance, held in readiness, rushed Holsworth to a hospital. His condition is extremely serious, Dr. Baird declared. First word that Holsworth waa ill was picked up by an amateur radio' operator early on Wednesday. He in turn notified the coastguard, but be- 1 cause of the heavy seas and high wind, the life-saving crew was unable to approach the crib during the day.

ROYAL CHRISTENING AT GOLDSBOROUGH Their Majesties Chief Spon- tors for Infant Son of Princess Mary and Vis- count Lucelles. A despatch from Goldsborough, Yorkshire, England, says : The ; Archbishop of York on Palm Sunday! christened "Baby Lascelles," the in-j I ant son of Viscount Lascelles and Princess Mary, in the presence of j King George and Queen Mary and other members of the royal household. Villagers, tenants and dependents of the Harewood estate of Viscount Las- celles were given the preference over visitors to the village desirous of wit- nessing the ceremony. The christening took place after the morning service in the little village church. It was a quiet and simple ceremony; the only incident was the lusty crying of the baby, which could be heard throughout the church. The infant waa given the name George Henry Hubert Lascellee. King George and Queen Mary were the chief sponsors. Present with them at the baptismal font were two other sponsors, the Countess of Harewood^ and Colonel Lane-Fox. Four addi- tional sponsors who were represented by proxies are Dowager Queen Alex- andra, Lady Patricia Ramsay, the Earl of Harewood and General Sir George Higginson. After the baptism King George and Queen Mary and the Countess of Harewood and Colonel Lane-Fox planted memorial trees on the Harewood estate in honor of the infant Thousands of visitors came to the village from the surrounding country in the hope that they would be able to gain admission to the christening; but as the village church only seats about 260, they were disappointed. Seek to Recover Gold From Sunken Laurentic A despatch from London says: ' The British Admiralty in the next few days will send out its salvage ship and divers in an endeavor to re- cover more gold from the liner Laur- entic, which waa sunk off the north- ern Irish coast by a torpedo in 1917 while carrying $25.000,000 in gold bul-i lion to the United States. To date, $8,000,000 worth of the bullion has been brought up from the bottom of the tricky waters of that section of the coast, and Admiralty officials hope to get two or three more millions up this summer, but they are not too sure of it. The wreck is in very bad shape and divers working fifteen miles from land and at a depth of twenty fath- oms have met with difficulties, includ- ing attacks from male dogfish, chal- lenging the intrusion upon their realm. Wrecked British Cruiser Raleigh May be Refloated A despatch from St John's, Nfld., says: The possibility of refloating the British cruiser Raleigh, which went ashore in the Straits of Belle Isle last summer, and was abandoned as a total loss, has been revived. Re- ports made to the British Admiralty that the wreck had been moved by the pressure of the ice pack this winter led the British authorities to investi- gate the cruiser's present position on the Labrador rocks. On Tuesday an aviator flew from Botwood, on the north-east coast of Newfoundland, to Point Forteau, on the south coast of Labrador, and made photographs of the Raleigh as she now lies. If the hulk has been freed from the rocks that held her an effort will be made to refloat the cruiser. Labrador Gold Area to be Charted by Aeroplane A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says: Areas in the northern section of Labrador where gold was said to have been discovered last fall are to be mapped by aeroplane, it has been announced here. Three machines will fly along the coast to the little-known districts of the north, and the rivers and other topographical features \viil be charted. Would Curb Handbook Traffic.

Grain exchange authorities assert there are still not less than 72,000,000 bushels of wheat scattered over the West that must go to England either by the Vancouver route or the eastern channels. This figure takes into ac- count some 75,000 bushels in the West that must be utilized for domestic seed and flour. Prince's Love for Steeple- chasing Causes Anxiety A despatch from London says: ) The Prince of Wales' love for steeple-' chasing is beginning to cause public anxiety, owing to the frequency with which he meets mishap. The Prince himself, however, makes light of his risks. The Heir Apparent had another mishap on Wednesday, when, partici- pating with Prince George in the Mel- ; ton steeplechases and riding in the Ladies' Plate, his mount, "Little Christy," was brought down by the balking of another horse at the seventh fence. After making six un- successful attempts to get his mount over the Prince gave up. The Prince also, for the first time, competed against professional jock- eys in an open race and came in fourth, after a narrow escape from being unseated. Heligoland Island Now Devoted to Child Welfare A despatch from Hamburg says: Heligoland has become a children's; health resort. The historically famous little isle, key to the German Empire's : coastal defence system, henceforward will be devoted to the recuperative need of Germany's ailing little ones. Where once mighty fortifications frowned upon the British fleet across the North Sea, playgrounds are being laid out; and the buildings in which were quartered the crews of great guns are being converted into nurser- ies. Medical authorities describe Heligoland as ideally adapted to the treatment of children, owing to the warm sunshine and sheltered open spaces to be found there. Half of One Per Cent. The population of Russia in Europe is about 130,000.000. The number of Communists in Russia is 817,000, ac- cording to the official census of that party. Of those in good and regular standing, with a right to have their say in all matters affecting Russia and the Soviets, there are 410,430. This same census shows 117,924 candi- dates for full party membership and 289,839 young Communists. The Red Army and Navy shelter 90,000 of the regular members and 83,690 feed at the public trough as Government em- ployes. All then of the acknowledged Com- munists in communist Russia, includ- ing candidates, probationaries and young Reds, total but a fraction more than one-half of 1 per cent, of the European Russians. They are the rulers of about 130,000,000 west of the Urals and possibly 35,000,000 Siber- ians. After a fashion their writs run from the Dneiper and the Baltic to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Straits of Bering. They have 800,000 bayonets and have kept themselves in power for five years. Yet there are skeptical souls who are inclined to hoot at the power of an organized minority! Halifax, N.S.

A.| Tirnmins, of the Hollinger Consolidat-, ed Gold Mines, Ltd. While no definite | site was named, the letter from the' Attorney-General states it will be at Islajid Portage or Long Sault, and in either case the opportunities present- ed will be sufficient to meet the Hol- linp-er needs. At the former, 30,000 horsepower or bett<* could be de- veloped, while the latter offers oppor- tunity for development of 25,000 horsepower. J Winnipeg, Man.
