'was in the chair.The meeting opened jwith the Lord\u2019s prayer, routine business following.An invitation to !the Divinity House at Bishop\u2019s Uni-'versity to a gala evening was ac-Icepted for the next meeting and it iwas arranged that the business 'meeting should be held first, after Taking part in their first street parade since entering military training January iOth under the Dominion Government mobilization plan, eleven hundred men from Military Training Centre No.43 on the Drummond Road made a good impression here yesterday afternoon.Stepping proudly and smartly to the tune of martial airs, the young trainees moved past the saluting base on Wellington Street in front of the Quebec Central Building with eyes right, rify?s carried at the correct slope and arms rising and falling in unison.With Lieutenant-Colonel J.S.Bourque, O.C.Military Training Centre No.43 at their head, the unit left the centre shortly after lunch yesterday and during the course of their march covered a distance of eight miles.Coming into the city on the Drummond road, the unit moved via Belvidere and Frontenac Streets to Wellington Street, then turned up Aberdeen and followed Alexander and Galt Streets back to the Drummond Road.Large numbers of people lined the route, particularly along Wellington Street and the corner of King and Wellington.With Colonel Leopold Chevalier, O.C.10 Infantry Brigade, who took the salute, were Colonel the Rev.A.H.McGreer, Major C.de L.Mignault, Brigade Major, Lieutenant-Colonel Emile Levesque, O.C.Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke, Staff Captain Ashton Tobin, Mayor Joseph Labrecque, Mr.Justice Charles D.White, Aldermen J.E.Lacroix, J.W.Genest, and Guy Bryant and Lionel Vachon.Since entering the centre the men have been drilling steadily and the instructors have emphasized the fundamentals such as squad drill, platoon drill, rifle work, arms drill, anti-gas protection, bayonet fighting and marksmanship.As guest speaker at the regular session of the Sherbrooke Rotary Club held in the New Sherbrooke House last evening, John Bassett, Jr., urged the necessity of the taxpayers seeing that the representatives they sent to the Provincial House use.every means at their disposal to reduce expenditure within the province.\t, The speaker believed that m view of the present situation the Federal Government will move into the provincial fields of taxation as an emergency war effort and the business man who is now heavily taxed will find himself in a more serious state.Mr.Bassett described the set-up of the House of Commons the day i on which the Rowell-Sh'ois report was -resented and described in full t he manner and dress of each of the Premiers of the nine Canadian provinces and the impresison each left with his audience.Although not giving hk opinion on any actions taken at the conference.Mr.Bassett described ù ¦ anticipation everyone held prior to the effic-| ial opening of the conference and I said Mr.Hepburn's stand was an open secret.As Mr.King officially opened the 1 assembly, the speaker said, his quiet speech intimated that the Federal Government was in favor of the ve-I commendations of the report, but i five minutes after Mr.Hepburn\u2019s bombastic outburst on the stan i of I the Ontario Government, everyone 1 present realized that the conference ! was doomed.In direct contrast to the Ontario ; Premier's speech, Premier Adelard Godbout of Quebec expressed the views and feelings of the papula-; don of the Province of Quebec.Prior to Mr.Hepburn\u2019s speech j Prime Minister Mackenzie King ad-I dressed the House in a plea to Mr.Hepburn and his delegates to remain and discuss matters and tins was followed by a similar plea from each of the Cabinet Ministers.Mr.Bassett termed these remarks as, \u201ca moment of triumph for Mr.Hepburn.\u201d Although Mr.Hepburn was strong in his stand, the speaker was of the opinion that he made one mistake.When the implementation of the report was urged as a war measure, he pledged his full co-operation iiv any war effort and said he would place the resources of his Province at the disposal of the Federal Government if he were not held down by any documents.As the Federal Government mast have money to carry on Canada\u2019s war effort and as the Prime Minister has the final say, it is more than likely that in the end the Provinces will have to lend more aid to the Federal Government.Upon closing Id's remarks Mr.Bassett referred to the words spoken by Prime Minkur Mackenzie King nt the close of the Rowell-Sirois conference that ne ver before has Canada been more unified on one point, to maintain freedom and democracy by giving all possible help to Kng land, who is now in the front line of battle.The speaker was thanked by Rotai'an R.Larabee.Seated at the head table with Hu speaker were Vice-President K.E.Goodenough, who presided in the absence of President J.H.Walk, Rotarian J.K.Flaherty, who introduced the speaker, Rotarian

tree, and of Eugene Bean, 72 years of age, of North Hatley, who drowned in the Massawippi River, were investigated yesterday afternoon by juries under Leonidas Bachand, Coroner for the District of

Island, who was cutting trees with the victim in the woods near Beebe Monday morning when the accident occurred.St.Hilaire stated that he and Roy wore in the employ of Joseph Seguin, of Beebe, and that Roy was pinned beneath a falling tree which they bad just cut.The victim apparently miscalculated the direction in which the tree would fall and ran beneath it as it crashed to the ground.St.Hilaire said that he immediately called for help and a passing motorist, P.A.Dustin, of Beebe, helped him extricate the victim.Roy, however, had been instantly killed.Dr.E.Gauthier, of Rock Island, testified that Roy bad died of a fractured skull and body injuries.In the ease of Eugene Bean, evidence given by Henry Gagnon, of North Hatley, revealed that he and two of his friends, Lawrence Taylor and Sidney Young, both of North Hatley, had removed the body of the man from the Massawippi River near the head of the lake.According to Gagnon, he heard a shout and ns he turned about saw a man jump from the Massawippi Bridge at the head of Rake Massawippi.Lawrence Taylor and Sidney Young corroborated his testimony.Dr.W.J.Klinck, of Lennoxville, stated at the inquest that he hail been called to North Hatley at about 7.30 o\u2019clock Monday morning but that upon his arrival the man was dead.WAR\u201425 YEARS AGO TODAY Feb.5, 1916.\u2014German and colonial troops interned after
