that the new American troops wouldj not be capable of meeting those of: Germany, trained to the minute.Premier Lloyd George reiterated forcefully that the Allies do not covet | a single yard of German soil, and do not desire to dispossess Germany of her rightful inheritance or the Ger-.man people of their legitimate rights.: FATEFUÙI0U8 0FWÂRATHAND, SAYSSONARLAW German Blow Will Be Dangerous But Men Responsible for Command of Armies are Confident of Result.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, July 6 \u2014 The coming German blow will not be less dangerous because of the time employed in preparing for it, hut it is comforting to know that the men responsible for the command of the allied armies are confident of the result, Andrew i Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Ex- j chequer, declared last night at a dinner of the delegates of the Parliamentary Commercial Conference.\u201cIt si impossible to foresee the fu- .tpre,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I do believe, that j the fateful hour of this war is upon us, and if in another three months our enemies have won no strategic ! object, then their campaign will have failed and it will, I hope, be a decisive failure.\u201d The Germans possessed the most1 perfect military machine that ever existed, but the Chancellor said he believed that when the history of the war was written it would be seen that Germany had made greater military mistakes than any other power.He instanced the submarine warfare, which had brought the United States into the war.He doubted whether Germany would get as much out of Russia as she expected.Wherever the German soldier had planted his foot the name of Germany will be loathed for generations.Mr.Bonar Law said he trembled to think what would have been the position of the Allies after Russia went out of the war, but for the United States.He had not despaired of Russia, who was like a patient in a delirium.It was impossible from hour to hour to tell what the future might bring there.The population of the enemy powers was 154,000,000, that of the Entente Alliance 1,200,000,000.That in itself was a league of nations with a military force that was terrible, but the economic force was also strong.Of one thing, he said, there was no doubt, just as the Allies were standing together, so they would stand when the war was over to repair the vavages of the war.The Chancellor concluded: \u201cI see no immediate hope of peace.There is no road to it, I fear, except the rugged road through victory.It will be fatal to the world, and fatal to the Germans themselves, if they are not taught the lesson that war does not pay.\u201d CANADIAN CASUALTIES (Canadian Press Despatch) OTTAWA, ONT., July 6.\u2014It * #\tis officially announced through # #\tthe office of the Chief Press # #\tCensor that the City of Vien- # #\tna, a Canadian troopship, hav- # efc ing troops on board, has gone # #\tashore on the Atlantic coast # #\tduring a dense fog.The & ft troops and crew have all been ft ft safely landed, and it is thought ft ft that the ship herself may be- # ft come a total loss.\tft » « USE WOOD WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF COAL ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES LOST WHEN EXCURSION STEAMER SANK IN THE HUMS R1VEI Vessel Collided With Obstruction in River When Returning from an Amusement Park to Peroria, 111., and Sank Almosi Immediately\u2014Panic Followed, and Many Were Trampled to Death in Dance Room\u2014Work of Rescuers Handi< capped By Darkness.Situation Today Much Better Than It Was a Year Ago\u2014Cannot State What Advance in Coal Will Be.While the coal situation in Sherbrooke apparently is much better at the present stage of the year than it was at this time last summer, householders are warned that where wood is obtainable it should be gathered in at once, so that it may take the place of coal and thus relieve any fuel shortage during the next winter.Mr.J.S.Mitchell, in discussing the local situation, stated that the outlook was much better than it was at this time a year ago, but pointed out the advisability of using coal sparingly and substituting with wood as much as possible.Just what the latest advance in coal caused by the increased freight rates would be, Mr.Mitchell ¦ ould not say.\u201cThere will be n.i increase in coal, but the amount of tlic.increase depends entirely on the increased cost of shipping, etc.,\u201d said Mr.Mitchell.Fuel Controller Magrath warns the householders to use as much wood as possible and to order their fuel immediately.In a notice sent out he says: \u201cEvery additional day of war aggravates coal mining and transportation problems.No one can give any guarantees regarding Canada's future coal supply.\u2019\u2019 Xftftftftftftftft ft ftftftftftft ft\tft EX-MAYOR MITCHELL.OF NEW YORK, KILLED.* ft - * (Associated Press Despatch) ft LAKE CHARLES, LA., ft ft ft * ft ft ft July 6\u2014 Major John Purroy # Sÿ Mitchell, former Mayor of ft ft New York City, and an officer ft ft in the army aviation service, ft ft was instantly killed this morn- ft ft ing at Gerstner aviation field ft ft here, while flying in a scout ft machine.ft\tft ftftft ft ftftftftftftftftftftftft SAYS GERMANY HAS NO DESIGNS ON INDIA (Associated Press Despatch) PERORIA, 111., July 6.\u2014Approximately T50 people were drowned or trampled to death at midnight last night when the excursion steamer Columbia, carrying more than 600 people, struck an obstruction in the j Illinois River and sank, j The excursion party started from ; Pekin, fifteen miles distant from here, early in the evening, spent sev- i eral hours at an amusement park \u2022 near this city and, when the return | trip to Pekin was about half completed, the steamer ran into the ob-| struction on the Peroria shore, in the fog, smashing a big hole in her bow.The pilot signalled full speed astern, and as soon as the vessel pulled clear of the log or rock, she began to settle and within a few minutes sank, car-raying many persons down.Panic Followed.Soon after the steamer struck, a panic occurred among the passengers, and many men, women and children ! jumped into the water without securing life preservers.Those who could j swim reached shore, which was only ! a few feet away.The second deck of the boat, where the dance hail is located, was crowded when the crash came, and it was here that many were crushed to death in the panic.Darkness Hampered Rescuers.Ray Jones, fireman on the steamer, estimated that between 160 and 200 persons wore on the dance floor when the boat struck, and he believed ; many of these perished.When thf ! boat settled on the bottom, the watei reached the state rooms immediatelj \u2019 below the pilot house on the listed side.The pilot, when he found hia boat was sinking, sent distress signals, and within a short time boats from various directions came to the rescue and began to pick up those struggb ing in the water, but on account of the darkness their efforts were badly hampered.Estimate of D?ad.The police of Pekin early today estimated the number of dead at 150, but Captain H.F.Mehl of the steamer said he believed the number of dead was not more than 100, 20 Bodies Discovered.Search for the bodies was abandoned at four o\u2019clock this morning until daylight came.Approximately twenty bodies had been recovered, only a portion of whom had been identified.This morning only the hurricane deck of the steamer is visible abovo the water.DIVERS SEARCH FOR BODIES With the break of day divers went down into the sunken steamer to bring up bodies of the one hundred or more victims of the disister believed to be between the crushed decks of the boat.Almost at the same hour hearses began arriving* from Pekin the scene of the disaster, bringing the first of the dead.All known victims were residents of Pekin or neighboring villages.THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE Foreign Secretary Informs Questioner that Such a Campaign Forms No Part of Policy.SIR EDMUND WALKER.C.V.O., LLD., D.C.L, President H V.F.JONES, Ass t Gen'l.Manager SIR JOHN AIRD.General Manager E.L S.PATTERSON, Sup't of Eastern Townships Branche» Capital Paid Up, $15,000,000 i Reserve Fund, - $13,500,000 The banking requirements of merchants re* ceive the careful attention of the officers of this Bank, who give prompt attention and efficient service.Arrange with the Manager to open a (Ass> Gated Press Dnspitch) AMSTERDAM, July 6.\u2014The German Government has no intention of undertaking a campaign into India, Foreign Secretary Kuehlmann told a questioner in the Reichstag.\u201cAs regards a campaign in the direction of India,\u201d he said, \u201cI regret to have to tell the inquirer that brilliant as are the prospects which he thinks might be opened up for our supply, an Indian campaign forms no part of our official policy.\u201d The Foreign Secretary\u2019s remarks were greeted with laughter.ai4K current account.Manches in sherbrooke: BofTerin Av.na» n the Hovey house here this!11\"' international reinforced concrete bridso, r, .\t,\t.\t,,\t.\t.vnrvnvnnv\tnow in course of erection at East Richford, !

Visit.\u2014 (Special Cable to the Canadian Prêts Limited) LONDON, July 5.\u2014 In France,1 within sound of the guns, with airmen holding the air marshes, a great meeting of Canadians ' celebrated Dominion Day and welcomed the Duke of Connaught, late Governor-General and Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister of Canada.In a great natural amphitheatre our national holiday was celebrated with an enthusiasm never equalled at home, and an event and a programme unique in the allied armies.\u201cLike a scene from ancient Rome,\u201d said a famous Polish representative to the commanders of the Canadian forces as he surveyed the vast multitude of soldiers.Watching the picked men from every division compete in every known athletic sport, swinging round the track came four hundred athelet-es representing each division, picked men eager to uphold the honor of their units.Overhead a famous Canadian aviator thrilled the crowd with daring turns and dropped a message of good luck to his compatriots and sped away to lead his squadron across the German lines to ho,Id the Hun while the national day was fittingly celebrated.Following the athletes came massed pipe bands, two hundred strong,playing \u201cBonnie Dundee,\u201d halting in front of the Duke of Connaught and Sir Robert Borden.Later, each divisional band entered the enclosure playing the Divisional March.Marched in front the guests and all the thousands of Canadians present bared their heads as the bands played \u201cO Canada.\u201d Representatives from every allied army were there, and most all gave credit to the Maple Leaf men of giving the greatest and most unique holiday ever seen in Europe.It was a wonderful Canadian re-union Men of Ypres, Festubert, Somme, Vimy and Pass-chendaele met for the first time since they went against the Huns on those glorious days.The nursing sisters came from base casualty hospitals, and they were cheered by men who had been brought back to health and strength by their watchful care and devotion.From the British army came many great leaders to do honor to the Canadian force and witness the Canadian celebration.The navy was re-presesnted by prominent officers who had commanded Canadians in thej naval service.\u201cLike Derby Day,\u201d was the comment of a British general.Perfect weather permitted Canadians from all parts of France to get there.Early in the morning men from all parts moved towards the great gathering places.The Prime Minister and his colleagues arrived from Vimy received great ovations.The Duke of Connaught was received by one of, the finest guards ever paraded in France.The guard was drawn from a famous brigade commanded by an officer from the first force, who has had a great record in the field The guard was cheered by the whole army, proud of their fine showing.Fine Sports.Baseball, lacrosse, football, tennis were all carried on at the same time, while the famous circus of the Western Brigade furnished a humorous part.A baseball game final went 11 innings, won by three to two.The game was witnessed by the Duke of Connaught, Sir Robert Borden and the ministers.Foulkes, of Victoria, and McAvity, St.John, played a draw in the tennis singles, while Foulkes and Maynard won the doubles final from McAvity and Besey.The hundred yards race was run in ten seconds, and the mile done in 4 minutes 41 seconds.During the sports, aeroplanes photographed the scene.The pictures were developed and the airmen returned, dropping them in the grand stand.The grounds were splendidly arranged, and it is claimed were better than all the first stampede in Calgary.The grand stand was three hundred yards long with special stands for distinguished visitors.The Canadian Y.M.C.A.furnished bunting and other decorations, and paid other expenses.Premier H»d Greet D»iy.Sir Robert Borden says it was the greatest day of his life.Hon.Mr.J.A.Calder remarked that he had seen many thousand Canadian gentlemen gathered at one point in France.Hon.Arthur Meighen could not comment on the programme as he said he was too busy meeting old friends to witness the sports.No unfavorable incident marred the day.Despite the immense crowd there was no wrong act or sign of Ill-feeling.Hon.N.W.Rowell was much impressed by the wonderful order and conduct of the great assembly.The sports concert party gave an entertainment., there being present over ten thousand.Sir Robert Borden received a wonderful reception.He addressed the men.\u201cHow about leave, Sir Borden?\u201d yelled someone.\u201cEvery Canadian has long leave to do his best to beat the Hun,\u201d retorL cd the Prime Minister, and ten thousand soldiers sprang to their feet, cheered and waved their hats at this sentiment.There never was seen such Rare Drugs Whatever your doctor prescribes, bring his prescription to us.You will know no disappointment.I MADE IN kCANADA i E.W.GILLETTCO.TORONTO,CAN ADA 1 W.H.SlUFflU I I i2i.; si.: ?¦ mmtlH'iliBiiilMHilBIMiHif UEBEuCEHTRAl

our country is safe.Any effort toward trade expansion on the seas, coastal protection, or any movement that tends to shipbuilding, to a growth of our marine interests, to a building-up of Canada as a naval power, is of peculiar interest to us.For this reason the Navy League appeals.Anyone who regards this league as apart from the great issues of the war does not see its possible far - reaching influence on the future l of our country as a self-protecting i Dominion.We must develop on the sea, must exhibit naval initiative, must have ships for trade and for protection, must see to it that no lurking submarine or enemy ships can pass the protecting line of our harbors and coasts, where should ride in abundance ocr trade and coastal-guarding fleets of ships.i Made In Canada i Begin the day with r7s Itself a Food A pure, delicious drink ;

Court, 1 Montreal, yesterday, befoic Judge | Cusson, by William Denoyer, of | Farnham, who charged W.M.Duckett and J.Cummings, with conspiracy Cummings was not present in court.Denoyer, who is a mere youth, and works in his father\u2019s grocery store, in Famham, told of striking up an acquaintance with Cummings while visifing Montreal.Cummings introduced him to Duckett.Following the introduction and a dinner in an uptown hotel, a game of cards was suggested, in which Denoyer and Duckett took part, the youth winning S300.After the game Denoyer showed his gratitude to Cummings by giving him half his winnings.A week later Denoyer and Duckett took part in another game in which the country i boy was allowed to win $1000.He did not depart with it, however, as the game was started up again and he lost the $1000 along with his own >11.By this time Denoyer\u2019s gamb-ng spirit was thoroughly aroused, and he took a trip to Farnham and induced his father to let him have $4.000 to deposit in Montreal.From this he was to draw what was necessary to purchase exemption by r buying a returned soldier\u2019s certificate.On his arrival in Montreal, he was met at the station by Cummings and escorted to the hotel where he lost the whole wad.After he had lost about $3,000 Denoyer says he observed Cummings who was standing behind him making signals to Duckett.He now contends that in this way Duckett was in-i formed of what he was holding, hence the conspiracy to defraud.Duckett through his counsel, W.: P.J.Dagenais, denied the charge, but His Honor ruled that there was sufficient evidence to remand him for voluntary statement.Denoyer did not explain what sort \u2022 of a two handed game they were i playing.valuators upon annual division of valuation roll now in force was
