reactionary and inimical to their cause, has not been strictly enforced.An official decree, promulgated yesterday, announced \u2018\u2018immediate enforcement\u201d of the article was necessary

schools, but priests have been permitted to teach religion in churches.They have not been allowed to mention politics from the pulpit, although several of their number have served as parliamentary deputies, a few of them affiliated with modern Leftist parties.Mayors were ordered t) effect the confiscation and to take possession of all \u201cscientific and pedagogic material.\u201d Details of

passenger train which claimed the life of the engineer and caused slight injuries to four of the seventy passengers Engineer Joseph I.Gauthier, fif-tj'-five years of age, of Montreal, was instantly killed when the locomotive tender and baggage car toppled off the tracks.The fireman was hurled from the locomotive as it plunged off the rails and escaped unhurt.The passenger coaches remained on the rails, but four women occupants riding in the first coach were bruised and shaken.They were Miss Nadon and Mrs.Duval, of Montreal, Mrs.Cleghorn, of Lewiston, Me., and Sister St.Dominique, a nun from St, Therese, Que.The wreck occurred at 3:35 o\u2019clock E.D.T.yesterday afternoon a short distances from the South Durham station.Railway officials were at a loss today to account for the derailment,' but believed that some part underneath the locomotive had become detached and fallen across the rails, causing the driving wheels to leave the track.C.N.R.authorities stated today that a full investigation ns to the cause of the wreck would be made.The coroner\u2019s inquest was held here this morning by Dr.Caron, of Drummondville.The jurymen were A.J.Pouliot, J.B.Boisvert, Emile

leaders,\u201d Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said as he spoke in Westminster Hall to Canadians of the Yimy pilgrimage.\u201cIf the world can find no ocher means of settling disputes than war, while bodies that fell twenty years ago are still being unearthed, then the world deserves to perish,\u201d said Premier Baldwin.But he saw hope for the future, recalling the recent conference of France, Germany and Great Britain in which the nations had united to preserve the war burial grounds, and the June 8 ceremony in London when French and German veterans laid their colors on the cenotaph.\u201cWhen men can do that, there will be no more fighting, and it was the German General Von Seecket who said he hofied that after the sacrifices of the Great War there might be a long period of human comradeship and peace.\u201d \u201cAs you come from Canada on a pious pilgrimage to visit scenes of incomparable heroism, to cement old friendships, to revere and honor those who fell, it is fitting I should meet you at Westminster Hall,\u201d said the Prime Minister.\u201cCanada was borm of a union of two great European civilizations, and here you see a building erected by a Norman king, where the first ITALY ACCEPTS PRINCIPLE OF LOCARNO TALKS Two Important Reservations Placed in Acceptance of Invitation to Attend Proposed Five-Power Locarno Conf^ence, However.Parliament met seven centuries ago.\u201cWe can never forget how in those first days of war, at the moment of peril, Canada sprang to the side of Britain.You stood with us in that grim fighting around Ypres, and faced there the first gas attack.\u201cI think we showed you then what we thought of you, for we gave you Vimy, the key-spot of the whole line.We gave you our best\u2014Byng.I think you loved Byng as I know he loved you, and when his work was done Canada produced a man in your own Currie to take over.\u201cByng and Currie were friends in life, and in death not long divided, for both have been called in recent years and each lies honored for all time in the pleasant lands that gave them birth.\u201d Baldwin, a Worcestershire man, recalled a recent visit to Gheuvelt, when passing through the Menin Gate, through which every regiment of the Empire had marched, he \u201cfelt the air vibrant\u2019\u2019 and seemed to see the roads crowded.\u201cI seemed to be pushing my way along, and I know that feeling must have been with you at Vimy on Sunday\u2014you must have known those unseen witnesses who are our dead, and are with us today.\u201d Mr.Baldwin was accompanied by Dominions Secretary Malcolm Mac- i Donald and Hon.Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner, with officials of the British Empire Service League, as he appeared at the top of the stairway in Westminster Hall.He was

Hard.Winnipeg, July 29.\u2014Farmers in the central grain belt of the western prairie provinces today found solace in early harvesting returns that helped discount for the present the reports that stressed widespread crop deterioriation.Reports of complete plant destruction were tempered somewhat by better than average returns in central Saskatchewan that ranged between fifteen and twenty bushels to the acre.The grain, an excellent grade of Number One hard, tested at sixty-four pounds to the bushel in one area.Harvesting was under way under clear skies at scattered points in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, First reports of crop yield from the dry belt of southern Saskatchewan were estimated as fair.With no apparent let-up in the dry spell, however, agricultural experts termed the situation serious, with fodder scarce along the southern boundary line of the three provinces.They held out no revival for parched pasture lands until rain fell in generous quantities.Government heads in Alberta warned against what was termed \u201cpanic selling.\u201d Premire Aberhart asserted the solution to the.problem of feed shortage lay in locating and distributing seed from abundant areas to deficient ones.ALBERTA FOREST FIRES CAUSING GREAT CONCERN Calgary, July 29.\u2014 Spread by strong winds, forest fires in southwestern Alberta caused concern today.Valuable timber stands were

Liberal Candidate in Shefford Completes Line-Up of Parties for Eastern Townships Ridings \u2014 Minister of Municipal Affairs Tells Granby Audience that Royal Commission May Probe Contributions to Campaign Funds\u2014Opposition Candidate in Sherbrooke Inaugurates Campaign.With the nomination of Honorât Lussier, a farmer of the Granby district, as Liberal candidate in Shefford County, the battle lines of both the Government and Opposition forces in the Eastern Townships for the forthcoming provincial elections have been completed.Mr.Lussier was nominated at a largely attended convention in Waterloo yesterday afternoon, which was followed by a public meeting at Granby in the evening at which Hon.T.D.Bouchard was the principal speaker.The complete line-up of candidates for the Eastern Townships follows, with former members seeking re-election marked with an (X): Opposition Jonathan Robinson Payson Sherman (X', Joseph Marier Patrice Tardif (X) Tancrede Labbe (X) Frank Pouliot (X) Albert Gaudreau (X) Hector Choquette (X) Johnny Bourque (X) Rouville Beaudry (X) Henri Yachon At the Granby meeting, the Minister of Lands and Forests and Municipal Affairs, challenged the stand of the Opposition leader in opposing the naming of a Royal Commission in investigate the administration of the province.A Royal Commission probe was superior to one by a parliamentary committee, declared the Minister, because it.would not he swayed by political partizan prejudice and it could delve into many matters that were beyond the scope of a committee.Among the things it could investigate, hinted Mr.Bouchard, was the supposed receipt by the Opposition party of a contribution from the \u201cpower trust\u201d to its campaign fund.This charge was originally made by Edouard Lacroix.M.P., for Beauce, at the time of the split in the Opposition ranks.Mr.Bouchard declared that the present Government is composed of \u201cProgressive Liberals\u201d who would press through the Old Age Pensions legislation and continue the battle for lower electricity rates.As the Minister was fighting the Government battle in Shefford, Col.Johnny Bourque, Opposition candidate in Sherbrooke county and the former member, opened his campaign with a rally in St.Jean Baptiste church hall in East Sherbrooke.As might be expected the Government and its activities were criticized at great length and with mighty gusto.Such matters as the evidence before the Public Accounts committee, alleged irregularities in the distribution of road and colonization funds and crooked elections were dealt with, and great pains were taken to impress npon the audience that the Godbout and Taschereau regimes were one and the same thing.Certain federal Liberal members also came in for attention, being rather pointedly told that for their own future good they had better limit their activities.This evening, political interest centers on Stanstead County, where Maurice Duplessis is delivering two speeches, one at Magog and the second at Coaticeok.SDiTEEK LIVES WERE CLAIMED IN ROUGH WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN Captain and Fifteen Members of Crew Perished when Huge Wave Suddenly Capsized Vessel Loaded with Sand and Gravel \u2014 Seven Other Members of Crew Clung to Wreckage Until Coast Guard and Other Ships Reached Scene of Tragedy.Chicago, July 29.\u2014Sixteen men were feared drowned early today when the motor-powered ship, \u201cMaterial Service,\u201d capsized in the rough waters of Lake Michigan, four miles off Chicago\u2019s south side.Seven members of tbe crew were rescued, but Captain C.D.Brown and fifteen others were listed as missing by the Coast Guard, First Mate John M.Johnson, who clung for more than half an hour to pieces of wreckage bobing in the white-capped waves, gave the first account of the tragedy.He said the vessel, loaded with sand, listed suddenly to port as it nosed through a heavy sea sometime between 3 and 4 a.m.E.D.T.It lurched crazily to an even keel, Johnson related, and then sank swiftly.A.E.Pierce, keeper of the Calumet harbor lighthouse station, two miles off 86th street, saw the \u201cMaterial Service\u201d go down.He notified the Coast Guard and put out in a small boat with R.A.Carlson, his assistant.They picked up two of the survivors.A south Chicago Coast Guard craft rescued three others.A Benham Towing Company boat lifted the remaining two from the lake.Other Coast Guard boats, from the old Chicago and Jackson Park stations, and the cutter \u201cRush,\u201d dispatched from its berth at the municipal pier, were rushed out to the scene to comb the waters for Captain Brown and the fifteen missing members of his crew.The survivors were first taken to the Calumet Harbor lighthouse.There, chilled and exhausted, they related the details of the tragedy.They told how a wave struck their 2,000-ton sand and gravel carrier.\u201cWe were going along as usual,\u201d said First Mate Johnson, \u201cwhen suddenly the vessel listed to port.Then it came back to an even keel but immediately began to sink.We had the usual complement of life boats, but the sinking was so sudden there was no chance to launch them.\u201cAll we could do was to seize anything which would help us to float, and to go along the best way we could.\u201cThe rescued men clung to beams and other wreckage.We would all have gone down in a short time if help had not reached us when it did.- \u201cAt one time I had hold of Capt.j Brown\u2019s hand, but some how he I jerked away.Then I lost sight of him.He must have gone down with his ship.\u201d All available Coast Guard boats searched the surface of the lake over a wide area in hope of sighting the missing men.but their rescued mates sadly professed the beleif that all of them had been drowned.The shores of the lake in the vicinity of the tragedy were also combed for signs of tbe bodies of those believed to have perished, j An overturned life boat was | found at dawn floating near the South Chicago Coast Guard station.GOVERNMENT TO REMEMBER NEEDS OF CITY WORKERS FAMED \u201cPADRE OF THE POOR\u201d DIES AT LACKAWANNA Lackawanna.N.Y., July 29.\u2014 Father Baker,

29.\u2014 Quebec farmers will receive Government aid, but city workers need not fear the Government wrill neglect them if returned to power, Premier Adelard Godbout assured a Liberal campaign meeting last night at Fort Coulonge, north of Ottawa.Subsidies and technical services are devised to return prosperity to the rural areas, and city workers know that they will reap the benefits of increased buying power in country districts', the young farmer-Pre-mier said.His opponents, the Union Nationale, were spreading false reports that the Liberal Government was trying to create friction between farmers and workers, said the Premier.Public works undertaken through the co-operation of the Dominion Government at Ottawa and the Legislature in Quebec will aid in doing away with direct relief, Mr.Godbout claimed.Maurice Duplessis, Union Nationale leader, complained at Grand\u2019-Mere last night that Government supporters declared in one part of the province that he was Conservative, and then insisted in other localities that he was not a Conservative.Premier Godbout appealed to Conservatives at Hull on Monday night that Mr.Duplessis was \u201cnot one of them,\u201d said the Union Nationale chieftain.He did not believe the Libera! Cabinet ministers were the changed men they claim to be, said Mr.Duplessis.\"Hitherto they have had the Intelligence to conceal what they really were,\u201d he said, \u2018\u2018but now they reveal their hypocrisy.\u201d His critics said the Public Accounts Committee probe into depart-mental affairs he talked of so much would not save the party.\u2018That Please Tv çn to Page 2.

Exchange are furnished by McManamy & Walsh : MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKET Stratford, OtiL, Man Has Produced Remarkable Crops in Three City Garden Plots Following Directions Revealed to Him by Spirit \u201cLike an Angel\u201d.Stratford, Ont,, July 29.\u2014 A vision, \u201cfair like a woman,\u201d that came to Herman Greve twelve years ago in his sleep showed him such a successful plan of gardening, Grève said today, that he has kept his knowledge secret, although the plan has \u201csomething to do with the conditions and changes of the moon.\u201d Following the directions revealed to him by the spirit \u201clike an angel,\u201d Greve has produced some remarkable crops in three garden plots the city let him use.From little more than half an acre of ground last year, he said, ho produced 121 bags of potatoes.In addition, from his same plots, he had forty bushels of carrots, nineteen byshels of parsnips, three bushels of turnips and six bushels of beets.The visionary gardener said he grew giant carrots last year that measured nineteen to twenty-three inches long and four inches in diameter, and that one carrot could serve as a meal for his family of twelve.\u201cI received my gardening education in my sleep,\u201d he said.\u201cThe vision came to me and showed me how to grow plants, It was like an angel, fair like a woman.I remember it yet, holding out its hands and showing me what to do,' Whether the vision or Greve\u2019s industry is responsible, his garden shows no effects of the recent drought, although his lots are not near a water supply.Some corn is coming into ear\u2014early for this district.His potatoes are in solid rows with heavy foliage, although the crop about Stratford is approximately half normal.The bean crop in this area is a failure, but Greve\u2019s bean vines are dense with foliage and heavily set.There is not a handful of weeds in his three plots.Open High Bell Tel.34Ï\t147 Brazilian \u2022\u2022 «\u2022\u2022\u2022\t12*4\t12s*
