While it has been the official organ of the Orange Order in Canada for many years, The Sentinel has heretofore heen privately owned 'and controlled. With the purchase df the paper by Grand Lodge, that * body assumes direct control of the publication. It is understood that the Grand Lodge's offer of $20,000 for the. paper has been accepted by the Sentinel Pub- lishing Company and that possession will be taken in the near future. C. Hocken, M.P., who has guided the destinies of The Sentinel for the last 23 years, will remain at his present post as editor. No change in the style or, policy of the paper is plan- ned in the immediate future. For many years' thére has been a movement nn foot to have Grand Lodge take over the Sentinel, and the present action. of that body is a re- sult of this agitation. Two years ago when a company headed hy Morgan J. O'Brien, of 'Ottawa, had an option on the property for $35,000, consider- able objection was expressed by members of the Order to The Sen- tinel changing ownership unless the urchasers were the Grand Lodge. owever, that option expired on Sep- tember , 15th, 1926, without Mr. O'Brien and his associates taking it up. That year the County Orange Lodge of East York passed a resolu- tion memorializing the Grand Lodge to consider purchasing the paper. At the present time the constitution pro- vides that every new member shall be enrolled as a paid-up subscriber for one year from the date of his initia- tion."

ENTIRE GREW OF SUBMARINE DEAD 31 Victims of Poisoning By Chlorine Gas -- Craft is Brought to Surface Rome, Aug, 7.--The Italian sub- marine F-14, with ts crew of 31 de@d from chlorine gas was brought te the surface of the Adriatic, tonight from which it had sunk after a collision 34 hours before. The weary salvagers, who had performed almost a naval miracle in retri§ying the submersible from a depth of 131 feet, peered hope- fully into the opened hatches, only to find they were gazing into the tomb of their comrades. They had been forewarned of the tragedy when, during the af- ternoon, the submarine telegraph signals from the stricken craft suddenly ceased. They c--tinued to drive at their task, however, in the hope that the ominous silence meant simply that the erew had withdrawn:to a safer part of the submarine, or at the worst, that they were simply weakened by the difficulty of breathing in the foul® ed air. The revelation that all were dead came as a shock, Stern Is Flooded At least 8 few of the crew were believed to, have escaped the tor- ture of the helpless wait at the bottom of the sea for rescue, for the stern compartment of the F-14 was flooded when the sharp bow of the destroyer Giuseppe Missori rode over the emerging eraft, Captain Weil and Commander Fasulo were the officers who died in the submarine, Normally, craft of the size of the F-14 would carry 25 men, but there were several apprentice mot- orists on board during the battle manoeuvres in which the fleet was engaged. . There were many factors in the race against death. Against the rescuers was the weather, which uptl this evening made the sur- face of the 'sea boisterous, and the fact that the F-14 had sunk to a depth almost double that at which she was believed capable of with- standing the pressure. In the favor of the salvagers was the fact that the fleet on the spot carried prac- tically every device necessary for the task. Rescue Starts Rapidly Within an hour after the crash divers bad gope down, and in 8 reasopably short time the exact location of the submarine was found by observers in seaplanes circling over the scene.
