tsrious methods originally used for sport were in 1868 used to combat and suppress the lawlessness of the unruly negroes and the \u201cbad whites,\u201d and there is no doubt that the influence of the Ku Klux Klan as an organization of \u201cregulators\u201d did for a tims much to preveat crime.The Klan Reorganized.The Klan has been variously ciiarg: ed with crime and lawlessness.but \u2018not altogether with justice.The truth is that the original organizers found that the Ku Klux Klan had grows so rapidly and to such large proportions that they could not fully control it; irresponsible members were enceeding the bounds of propriety and giving the society a bad name.Accordingly, in the spring of 1867 a con vention of the officers was held at Nashville, Tenn., at which a reorganization was effected with especial view to stricter control of the members.One of the essential principles laid down was the entite acknowledgment of the supremacy of the United States constitution and State laws, and the vigorous support of law and order.and the administration of justice.The chief objects of the order were to protect the weak, innocent and defenceless; to relieve the oppressed; to aid the destitute, especially the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers.The Nashville conven tion also recast and elsborated the frame wark of the Klan.Its sphere of influence was to be known as \u201cThe Invisible Empire,\u201d subdivided into realms, inicns, provinces and dens.The chief officers were: The Grand Wizard of the Invisible Empire and his ten Genii.| - The Grand Dragon of the Realm and his eight Hydras.The Grand Titan of the Dominion and his six Furies The Grand Giant of the Province and his four Goblins, The Grand Cyclops of the Den and his two Night Hawks.These were also assisted by a Grand Monk, a Grand Scribe, a Grand Exchequer, 8 Grand Turk and s Grand Sentinel.An Impressive Parade.The delegates to the Nashville convention met about May, 1867, transacted their business, and disappeared as quietly as they had gathered.But on the night of July 4, 1867, the Ku Klux Klan created s profound sensation in the Southern States by hold ing a public parade of the order in the capital towns of the \u201cProvinces\u201d (counties) of the Invisible Empire.Profound mystery characterized the event.The Klansmen assembled in small parties after dark on roads leading into the various towns.They were all mounted and their horses also draped in disguise.A rocket blazed into the sky, and the companies of masked and mounted men concentrated upon the market squares.In dead silence, broken only by the sMill whistles of command.the shrouded riders slowly marched and countermarched before the eyes of the mystified and awe-struck sp-cta.tors for two hours, Then they vanished, meiting away suddenly in the darkness to the four points of the compass, unknown and unidentified.The third and last phase of the Ku Klux Klan came in 1888 shd 1969 when the membership had completely outgrown control and when outsiders scting under the name of the Kian brought it into serious disrepute by their fawlessness.Despite the siren.uous efforts of the officers of the true Ku Klux Kian snd many of its members, matters grew worse and worse umtil the State had to interfere, and in March.1869, the organisation was officlally dishanded \u2014W.U.8.CITIZENS

7\u2014The following is the correspondence which passed between Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Robert Borden, setting out the official position.It shows that the me.gotiations began on May 12h.Dear Sir Robert,~On the 12th of May you asked me to meet you on the following day, which I did.After explaining fully the conditions of the war in the light of knowledge acquired during your recent visi: to Great Britain, you statgd the reasons which led you to the conclusion that compulsory service was necessary, and you explained to me the provisions of the Military Service Bill, You then proposed the formation of a Coalition Government, upon the basis that, Outside of the Prime Minister, each of the two political parties should have an equal representation in the Cabinet, and you emphasize?the importance of avoiding.if possible, an election during the war.I told you at once that if my cooperation was desired, 1 regretted that I had not been invited before you had announced a policy of com- \u2018pulsory service, as I dreaded very serious difficulties if a conscription law was passed by the present Parlismbnt.You rejoined that you had thoaght it preferable to invite me after the policy had been enunciated, rather than before.At an interview which took piace on Tuesday, the 20th of May.vou suggested to me that you thought it necessary to hold a caucus of your supporters, but desired to consul: me before doing sa.I suggested that, as I wanted to consult particulutly Sir Lomer Gouin and some other friends, I would like to have a clear statement in writing of your proposal, which you formulated as fol.fows: That a Coalition Government should be formed: \u2018 That the Military Service Bill should be passed; That a pledge should be given not to enforce it until after a genera) election: That Parliament should be dissolved and the Coalition.Government should seek a mandate irom the people.At the conference on Friday, the ist of June, and agaia on Monday the 4th, the possible persemnel of Coalition Government was considered; some not insuperable difficulties in that personnel were anticipated and the subject was not concluded.On Wednesday, the 8th of June, the final conference took place, at which T announced that I had not seen my way clear to join the Government on the terms proposed.1 asked you at the same time if conscription was the only dasis.to which you replied in the affirmative.At this and previous interviews, 1 always stated to you that whenever conscription was adopted after à consultation of the people, I would certainly urge in every possible way obedience to the law Believe me, WILFRID LAURIER.\u2014 Ottawa, June 6\u2014On June ?, Sir Robert Borden replied as follows: Dear Sir Wilfrié Laurier \u2014T beg to acknowledge your letter of yer- terday in which you set forth the substance of recent negotiations respecting the formation of à Coalttion Government, .At our frst interview you had expressed the, opinion that compulsory service should not be enforced until it had been approved bp a referendum or at a general election.It was for this reason that 1 smdmitted the further propossl on the Mth of May, which ie described in the fourth paragraph of your letter.1 agree that it was the policy of compulsory servies, which in your judgment.made it ie for you to join a Coalition ornament.1 was convinced that compulsory ser, vice wis mecessary, and must be is- cluded in the policy nf the proposed coslition.You, on the ether hand, decided that you could not seeept oush « and that you awd not joia 8 ent which adopted i.\u201c

following definite coslition proposals; \u201cThat a government should be \u201cThat the Military Service Bll should be passed.\u201cThat a pledge should be given net to enforce it until after « general election.\u201cThat parliament should be dissolv ed and\u2019 the ceslition goverment ould seek 8 mendate from the peo- ole.\u201d On June four the possible person- uel of the Cabinet was discussed and some differences arose.On June sth the final conference téok place and Sir Wilfrid asked !f conscription was the only basis, to which Sir Robert replied in the affirmative.Sir Wilirid then announced that he could not enter à evalition.\u2019 \u201cAt this end previous interviews,\u201d concludes the Opposition leader.I always stated to you that whemever conscription was adopted, after a consultation of the people, I would certainly urge in every possible way obedience to the law.\u201d JERUSALEM AS IT IS TO-DAY The progress of the British campaign in Syria is bringing English

Pagan, Christian, and Ottoman, have in turn played the part of be- seiged and beseiger, and it is now ex- ætly four centuries since the old walls were last threatened, for was in 1517 that the Egyptian sultans were driven out by the Ottoman Turks, who then captured the city, It is doubltful if any city of like or even comparative importance had passed the period since the invention of gunpowder (1384) amid such immunity from the roar of hostile guns.The defense of the city, designed of course for earlier methods cf warfare, comprise the ancient walls, a series three in number, and none, it is evident, capable of resistance to modern weapons.The last of these defences, constructed by Agrippa wbont ten years aîter the Crucifixion, is hardly better defined than either of its precedecessors; and none of them can afford more than a strategic line to be strengthened by \u20acarthworks for the emplacement of howitzers or other heavy guns, if it be assumed that the Turks possess such weapo! \u2018have them at band.A - Topographically, however, jee lem should be capable of beihg put into condition fur prolonged defence The city possesses five gotable hills within its limits; it is surrounded on every hand by fairly deep vatteya, the most noteworthy being the valley of Kedton which lies between the city precinets and the Mount of Olives, lying to the east.and from which descends the road to Bethany.The heights of the Mount of Oives only slightly exceed .in elevation those of the five hills within the city the highest of which is Mount Zion, standng at 2,029 feet above the sea Jevel and overtopping the surrounding Valley of Hinnom by exactly 500 feet, while Mount Moriah.a little farther to the east, rising nearly 300 feet above the Valley of Jehosphaphat.\u201d The most practical of all the endeavors to modernize and ameliorate the conditions wf life in Jerusalem are those projected and financed under the leadérsip of a philanthropic American, Nathan Straus whose enterprises embraced not only the establishment of beneficial charities but also undertook the development of industrial activity suitable to the environment.Modern Jerusalem lies substantially within the lines of the old walls, through an extra-mural confmunity has been developed in which are to be found the hontts of the more af- Auent of the city\u2019s population, the foreign consulates, the more important of the monastries, schools, and hotels.Neither here nor within the walls, however, can modern conditi- tions of city life be found, due chiefly, of course to the fact that Jersusalem is without any natural water supply, the principal dependence in this regard being upon the rainfall which is husbanded in cisterns, the number of which for private use have increased so greatly that the public pools are left with but scant supply and are used only in case of necessity by the poorest of the people.Reitway econneation is had with the seaport of Jaffa, but there are none but 4he most.primitive means of communication within the town, where only a few streets are suitable for wheeled conveyances of any kind The populsion is about

domination.But ig is certain that she has impoverished the world and filled humanity's cup of sorrow to overflowing.It is obviously impossible to extract from a Germany beaten even to her knees such

VANTAGE POINT WHENCE TO SHELL TOWN OF CLOTH HALL, WAS CARRIED IN FURIOUS ASSAULT.Front u staff correspondent of The Associated Press, with the British Armies in France, June 7, vis London, June 8.\u2014 The British armies \"struck today on a new front and won s victoty which supplements the suc.ceases.at Arras during the past two months.The Germans, though apparently aware.that the blow was coming and seemingly prepared to meet it, were driven from thelr nearly three years hold on Messines ridge, opposite poor ofd Ypres, tne last remnant of an important Belgian town, which, with the help of the French and British in turn, has held out against all \u2018the massed attacks the Germans could fling against it including the first great surprise of poison gas as a means of supposed civilized warfare used against the First Canadian Contingent.Ypres in a sense was\u2019 avenged today, for Messines ridge has been the vantage point from which the Germans have poured torrents of shells foto the stricken city.The British also wiped off an old score against the Germans, for they held the ridge in October, 1914, and with very thin forces and practically no artillery fought bloodily, but vainly, to hold ft when the Prussian troops massed 4hetr modern and overpowering \u2018weapons of war against it.Vimy Nothing To It.Today's attack lacked many of the elements of surprise which accompanied the battle of Arras and the successful storming of Vimy ridge.There has been no doub: for three weeks past as to the intentions of the - British.The Germans knew that a big push was to be made against Messines, and they had plenty of time to prepare for the defense of that place.Prisoners taken today, however, declared that the bombard.nent of Vimy was child's play compared with the gunfire turned upon + Messines ridge.Artillery Supremacy.This fire reached its climax just as dawn was graying the eastern skies and while the full moon was still sys.pended high in the heavens.Today's quecesses, won along about a ten \u2018mile front from Observatory ridge, south-east of Ypres, to Ploegsteert -wood.just north of Armentieres, proved another triumph for British -artillery supremacy.As the fighting \u2018was wholly on Belgian soil, however, the Belgian artillery stationed some distance north of the actual line of attack, lent aid with a violent bombardment of the German positions within range of its varied calibred weapons.An Observation Point Messines ridge is a low lying promontory extending along the greater part of today\u2019s fighting front.It is an is.significant bit of ground to look at from below.At its greatest height # raises barely seventy metres above the sea level.The surrounding country is so low and flat, however, that Messines had an observation value \u2018practically incalculable.It was a posi tion which dominated the northern half of the British line in the west, and no operations of a large character could be planned without its possession.- Seventy metres is not a great height.but when you have been sitting at twenty or thirty metres with the enemy lookingdown at you and .pouring shot and shell incessantly about you, possession of the higher ground means a victory of supreme importance.AU Modern Deviltries.\u201c Today's attack was accompanied dy all the arts and deviltries of lat- ter-day war.The enemy guns and gun crews had been bathed for days in gas shells sent over by the long range - British guns.The night was filled with red incendiary flame.Shells that spurted molten metal in surging streams of golden rain crashed in appalling numbers about the heads of the defending soldiers.High explosive and shrapnef fire was cart ried out with such rapidity that the very earth writhed under the force of the attack.* À Day of Rétaliation.Mines that had taken two years to «dig and fill with an overwhelming explosive broke into an avalanche of Jaming destruction in the half light of dawn.This was indeed an Ypres day of retaliation and victory for the sicious sufferings of two years and eight months.Hill Sixty Went.Hilt Sixty, of evil renown always the nesrest menace to Ypres, went #9 with other strong points under the | ed impulse of hundreds and hundreds of sons of & secret explosive compound, The mining plans had been so great and so carefully made thet the British knew that even if they did aot

at a distant point.Admiral Lacaze took occasion in (the Chamber today to reply to certain criticisms of the navy and con: cerning the loss of various ships.Eighteen hundred voyages, he said, had been

took the matter in hand.By a stroke of administrative genius.he appointed à certain young soldier, General Muravief.to the post of Governor- General of Eastern Siberia, and Muravief proved himself a real empire builder.Under his guidance, Russia extended her influence, almost in a bound, to the Pacific.He founded Petropaviofsk.on the Pacific \u2018Coast, in 1849.The next year he established Nikolaiefsk a the mouth of the ONTARIO BABY MADE STRONG Mrs.Jarvis Says Dr.Cassell's Tablets Cured Her Delicate Child Whea Nothing Else Could.Mrs.Jarvis, Box 18s, Penetang, P.O., Ontario, writes: \u201cIt is a pleasure to tell you what Dr.Cassell's Tablets have done for my baby.When only five months old he fell iil, and though I had medical advice tor him he got worse.I tried several special foods, but none of them would stay on bis stomach, and be became so thin that he seemed just skin and bone.He only weighed 101 lbs, and we never thought he would live.| But chancing to hear of Dr.Cassell's Tablets 1 got some for baby, and am thankful T did.He is a bonny hoy now, quite cured, and weighs 25 Ibsat twelve months old.\u201d A free sample of Dr.Casselil\u2019s Tablows will be sent to you on receipt of cents for mailing and packing.Ad dross: Harold P.Ritchie & Co., Ltd, 10 MeCaui street, Toronto.TO A PORT A THOUSAND RONICLR Be Well Dressed ' SUNDAY\u2019 FESTIVITIES {The firm of MYRAND & POULIOT always desireus ta meet the wishes of its aumerous customers, has procured rich goods for the occasion.1 The Department of Clothing for Ladies is particularly worthy of your attemtion; the Silk and Linea Suits, Silk and Musa Dresses, Etc, Bite, are very select, superb cut and iree- proachable finish TIT is the ideal of stylish dress.S BIG Gentlemen will find at our Store the SUIT they want, that is to say, the Suits that fits well and is made from first-class tweeds.EE \u2014\u2014 Buy your HATS in our Gent's Furnishing Department.You will get the very latest style.Childrenwill be \\{gessed to the taste of their parents, not only in appearance, but alo in re.ard to che prices at which we sell CHILDRENS [CLOTHING.With the choice and the quantity of our souds, we can dress you from head to foot.and each article is sold with the guarantee that it is the highest novelty at popular prices.TT Our Footwear Department for Men, as well as for Ladies, is one of our specialties and we always keep the assortment of the ordinary shoe store, that is to say, that we have Choice.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 We have just received a considerable lot of MIDDY BLOUSES that surpass everything.ere ap \u2014\u2014 the bargain.§ Cultivate the good habit of shopping at MYRAND & POULIOT'S.Not only will you get entire satisfaction, but you will also get more than your money's worth\u2014and COMMERCIAL BONS in \u2014 © ENE UA 218 St.Joseph Street AGENTS FOR THE \u201cPICTORIAL PATTERNS.\u201d FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1917.- Amur, and, eight years later, concluded a treaty with China, which definitely established the Siberian boundaries, on the south, as they at present exist.In 1860 he selected the site for Vladivostok, which was to be Russia's great naval base on the Pacific, and gave to it the name of Vladivostok, which means \u201cthe Dominion of the East.\u201d The town, today, is \u201cgrowing and prosperous.\u201d Travelers who know it well remark with surprise on the activity of its people, and speak feelingly of it as the one place in the Empire where the Russisn may be seen in a hurry.\u2014Christian Science Monitor.YEARS HENCE.(By james Elroy Flecker) [ who am dead a thousand years, And write this sweet archaic song, Send you my words for messengers The way [ shall not pass along.I care not if you bridge the seas, Or ride secure the cruel sky, Or build consummate palaces Of metal or of masonry.But have you wine and music gtil} And statues and a bright-eyed love, And foolish thoughts of good and ill, And prayers to them that sit above?| 1 How shall we conquer?Like a wind That falls at eve our fancies blow, And old Mgeonides the blind Said it three thousand years ago.Q friend unseen, unborn, unknown, | Student of our sweet English | tongue, Read out my words at night, alone; { was a poet, | was young.Since [ can never see your face, And never shake you by the hand, I send my soul through time and space : To greet you.You will understand.; ONTARIO CROP REPORTS.Toronto, June &\u2014The weekiy crop ; reports made to the Ontario Depart.Dr.Cassell's Tablets are the surest home remedy for Dyspepsia, Kidney | Trouble, Sleeplessness, Anaemia, Ner vous Ailments.Nerve Paralysis, Pal- !

CITY WILL SAVE 1,000 DOLLARS FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL NOT PAY FOR EMPLOYEES HOME TELEPHONES.The campaign of retrenchment goes merrily on at the City Hall and each week the Finance Committee devises some new means of reducing the expnses.Last night it was the City's telephone bill.which will be eut down by about one thousand dollars by striking off some twenty odd telephones which are in the homes of civic employees and have up to now been paid for by the City Treasurer.This question was brought up at the last regular meeting of the City Council when Ald.Lantier asked for 2 list of all the employees who had telephones in their homes at the expense of the city.The list was produced at the mee:- ing of the Finance Committee last night and it was news to most of the members to learn that the City had such an extensive telephone account It was considered that the expenses in this respect were high enough without defraying the private telephone bills of employees whose salaries were ample to pay for such conveniences themselves, and besides it was srgued that in many cases thuse telephones were of no convenience or utility to the City.With much deliberation and apparently with a great deal of satisfaction, the committee started in forthwith to strike off the names of the officials, who will in future have to pay for their own telephones.: Those struck off the free list are as follows in the orde- in which they were considered: \u2014 Chief Messenger Emesie Gauvin.Recorder Dery, Dr.l\u2019aquin, H.J.J.B.Chouinard, A.Malouin, City Attornsy Morin.Dr.Catellier.Notary Allaire,

ycster.day afternoon under the presidency of Mr.J.G.Scott, Mr.J.H.Gignac submitted to the meeting some correspondence he had had with the Imp:rial Munitions Board of Ottawa, stating the terms upor which wooden ships, propelled by steam, or by oil engines, may be built in Quebec.By the terms the Munitions Board will reimburse the contractor for the actual cost of the building, including labor, material and uver- head including plus a fixed sum by way of profit for each vessel constructed.Sonte difficulty may be experienced in getting timbers of the necessary dimentions, as contractors are advised not to depend upon getting it from British Columbia.The standard specification of the ships to be built provides for a steam er 250 feet in length, 43% feet beam, 22 feet draft of water with a cubic capacity of 148.270 feet in hold, 2.900 tons measurement, or 2.700 tons dead weight.and speed of 953 knots with engines of 1,000 horse power, s\u2018agle sçrew.Mr.Gignac is of opinion that (diese versels may be readily built at any of the former ship yards of the River St.Charles, in St.Roch\u2019s.and intends to \u2018take the matter up with his usual energy.Under date of May 22nd.the

where [0] there The FREDDIE WELSH A BEAL CHIMPION KE WON THE TITLE WHEN HIS BEST DAYS WERE FAR GONE.Freddie Welok hs been a presi ring man\u2014do not make any mistake shout that.He cama te his title about five years teo late.He champion, not when he was oa up-grade or at the top of his form, but when be bad commenced to go back.He was a master gloveman in his time.He took Abe Attell when Abe was at his best, and gave him a box- Ing lesson for 15 rounds Few greater ring mechanics ever stepped in shoe leather than this same Abe Attell so thet is how good Welsh was.The ring followers have forgotten that.They remember Welsh only as the stalling, holding, always covered up master of defense that he has been around the past few years.In thinking of him as a great defensive fighter they have forgotten that he was once a great offensive fighter.Like Wiss Old Pitcher.He lasted, like a wise old baseball pitcher, long beyond his day, not on what he had, but on what he knew.Leonard now is not as grea: a hoxer as was Welsh at his best, though Leonard can probably \u2018 punch harder than Freddy ever could.Welsh is one of the most intelligent men that ever followed the ring.He grades up in that respect with Jantes J.Corbett.Furthermore, he has an idea, and has always exhibited it, that intelligence and personality do not necessarily make for a popular success in the ring as compared to fighting style, is shown ey the fact that Nelson and Wolgast were extremely popular, while that Freddy was about the most unpopular champion in some circles who ever held the lightweight title.In intelligence ind personality neither Nelson or Wolgist class with Welsh.but they had that old rip.tearing way of going into \u201can opponent that pleased the crowd.Made a Poor Fight.It is superfluous te Bp that Welsh made à game stand, obody ever questioned Welsh's courage.He has shown in 3 hundred fights that he is as courageous as they come.As a matter of fact, however, he made a very poor fight against Leonard, and showed extremely poor judgment.When he was knocked down, he failed to remain down and take the count: He was up immediately, only to push his head into a shower of blows.His brain never had a chance to clear.This might have been excusable in an inexperienced youngster, but not in a veteran like Welsh.Maybe pride.or vanity, brought him up standing, but whatever it was, it was utighty poor judgment.Had he remained down and mad- som: effort to steady himsel\u2019, he had the chance of finally weathering the storm.When he came up, he was | quickly punched into helplesaness.As for the claim that he was entitled to a count under the circum.stunces\u2014that is nonsense.There is no cloud on Leonard's lightweight title.WAR'S EFFECT ON BASEBALL.\u2014 Only 38,000 Fans Saw New

SUBS.Working Hand in Hand With the British In Patrolling English Waters.American Flotilla, via London.June 7\u2014The American destroyers have completed their first month of active service in the great war, They have been favored with excellent weather, which is a big factor in antisubmarine warfare, Most of the time they had sunny skies with smooth seas, with just enough squall and stofm to put their seamanship to test.The favorable weather conditions made their task of learning the technique of anti-submarine warfare much simpler and easier.The American boats are assigned to work hand-in-hand with the British squadrons, being virtually assimilated into the British naval machinery here.A destroyer is usually out for four or five days, and then returns to port for two or three days while coaling and loading supplies.The Americans take their\u2019 turn wit hthe British boats in al routien work of patrol and convoy.The | work, although largely routine, is interesting, and the Americans have never yet found time.hanging heavy on their hands.The lookout must be constant and eyes must be trained to an unbelievable degree of keen- The yonug Americans take zeslously to this business of finding the periscopic needle in the nautical haystack and daily reports of submarines sighted.of observations made and of wireless warnings sent boadcast show that the American boats are already making an average of results almost as satisfactory as the long experienced British boats with which they are operating.There has been no actual battle as yet between the Americna des:roy- er and the enemy, elthough several reports show that U-boats have been sighted and have been compelled to beat a hasty retrest to the depths of the sea.An assignment to convoy a liner \u201cfrom home,\u201d that is.from an Amerlcan port, is regarded as an especially choice morsel.A trans-Atlantic liner which sights the American flag approaching to escort het to land never fails to respond wit
