Notable among the documents con- tained is a secret memorandum by Sir Eyre Crowe, former counsel in the British Embassy, dated Jan. 1, 1907, examining the German policy and action in Morocco and South Africa during the Boer War; also in Zanzibar, and the efforts to improve Anglo-German relations. Sir Eyre wrote: "The successors of Bismarck apparently regard it as their ultimate purpose to extract valuable concessions from England by offensive bluster and persistent nagging." He compared their atti- tude to Britain to that of a "profes- sional blackmailer." Attached to some o fthe documents are notes penned by King Edward VII, showing that he had no illus- ions regarding the German feeling for Britain. "A case of bullying as usual," was his significant comment on a German statement that Britain had offered to conclude a defensive and offensive alliance with France against Germany. Pen Portrait of Ex-Kaiser The documents include a pen port- rait of the ex-Kaiser written in 1906, by Sir Frank Lascelles, then British ambassador at Berlin, describing the monarch as impulsive and fond of jokes which somtimes were taken seriously by those who did not under- stand them. On one occasion Sir Frank made to the Kaiser a com- munication of an agreeable nature. The Emperor remarked, "the noodles seem to have had a lucid interval." Asked whether he wished such a message conveyed to the British Government, the Kaiser translated the remark into diplomatic language and told the ambassador to say that he had received the communication with great interest and satisfaction. Sir Frank summed up with the conclusion that the Kaiser thought a "sabre-rattling, moustache-twirling"" attitude befitting the ruler of a mighty empire, but in reality he was animated by the most pacific senti- ments, AILSA CRAIG IS MENACED BY FIRE London, Ont., Aug. 2. -- Ailsa Craig was menaced this morning by a fire which started wiih the backfiring of a gasoline engine in the U.F. Co-operative Company's sawmill and which caused a loss of approximately $20,000 before the local volunteer brigade with as- sistance of engines from Park Hill and Lucan fought it out, The buildings destroyed were the U.F, sawmill and the same "company's lumber and coal sheds and a seed and feed storage house occupied by the U,F.0., but owned by Mrs, H. Hay. Allsa Crajg, after fifteen build- ings were 'destroyed by fire In 1923, debated the advisability of ineealing a waterworks system but finally compromised hy pur- chasing a motor pump for use with water available from a C.N.R. en- gine tank and neighborhood cis- terns, As this morning's fire started the pumper was founa clogged with dirt, and for seven- teen minutes it could not be oper- ated. In the meantime the fire spread very rapidly and bucket brigades were formed pending the arrival of help from Lucan and Park Hill. A call was sent to London fire department, but no one was willing to guarantee the cost of the trip and the call was later cancelled, In the 1823 fire, London rushed out a new $17,000 motor pumper which had its mechanism clogged with grave attempting to operate from a pond, WIVES OF MIGRANTS SHOULD BE TRAINED London, Aug. 2.--The House of Commons tonight - gave second reading to the appropriation bill. A. A. Somerville (Conservative), suggested that the, wives of mi- grants should be trained for life overseas the same as their hus- bands. The Secratary of State for Do- minion Affairs, Rt. Hon, L. C, Amery, taking part in the debate, said it was essential to regard mi- gration as a problem in imperial co-operation in the building up of every part of the Empire and not as a device to get rid of the un- employed in Britain. After detailing measures taken to promote migration, Mr. Amery said migrants must be given some- thing better than the prospect of working as farm laborers forever. He declared that Lord Lovat (Un- der Secretary for Dominion Af- fairs) was going out to Canada to see what arrangements could be made for the provision of better housing in rural settlements. The lack of such housing, he said, of- ten forced families back to the cities when they would be glad to remain on the farms.

The council took the view that the present militia uniform re- sulted - in a 'slovenly appearing militia" and did not engender the esprit de corps desired.
