CONFERENCE WAS CHIEF SUBJECT OF CONVERSATIONS While Mr.Young\u2019s presence in London is entirely unofficial, the American Ambassador yesterday afternoon held a long conference with him and Colonel Logan, and it was not doubted that the Inter-Allied conference was the principal subject of their conversations.Mr.Young indicated that he was willing and anxious to put all his knowledge and experience at the service of the conference, and do everything in his power o aid in making the experts\u2019 findings practicable.DECIDED ATMOSPHERE OF OPTIMISM PREVAILS On the eve of the conference a decided atmosphere of optimism prevails.At the conference between Premiers Macdonald and Herriot at Paris last week, the French Premier characterized the occasion as the best day for the Entente since the armistice was signed.Both American and British observers today assert that they hope the deliberation at th° conference will be productive of an arrangement which will end once and for all time the quarrels and misunderstandings that have embroiled Europe since the great war ended.The first business of the conference tomorrow morning after the opening ceremonies will be the agenda, which will be based on the ex change of views between Premiers Macdonald and Herriot.The agenda will be strictly confined to the Dawes report.On orders from the Attorney General\u2019s Department, Herman Girard,, of Richmond, the young man who took twenty-year-old Irene St.Germain out on the automobile ride during which she died very suddenly, was last night placed under arrest on a serious charge and brought to Sherbrooke.It will be remembered that Girard invited the young girl to go on an automobile ride on July 3rd, and late in the evening brought back her dead body.A closed inquest was held at which a verdict was returned that Miss St.Germain had died from heart failure caused by nervous shock.Resident of Richmond were aroused as a result of the incident and rumors have been very numerous regarding the condition of the body of the deceased.Girard will likely appear for preliminary hearing in the Magistrate\u2019s Court tomorrow before Judge Lemay.FIFTY-TWO MET DEATH IN THE FOREST FIRES Flames Reported to Be Sweeping All Sections of Pacific Coast.CYNICISM IS CHORD PLAYED BY ITALIAN PRESS (Associated Press Despatch) ROME, July, 15.\u2014 Cynicism is the chord being persistently played by the Italian press concerning the prospects of the forth-coming Inter-Allied conference in London.The Giornale DTtalia remarks facetiously that the experts\u2019 plan has been heartily accepted in three capitals, but each clings tenaciously to its own particular interpretation: \u2018\u2018We have the acceptance a la London, a la Paris, and a la Ber- SCOTSTOWNWAS SCENE 0FÂFIRE THIS MORNING Roof Burned Off C.P.R.Water Tank\u2014Flames Made Rapid Progress\u2014Every Effort Was Made by Local Firemen to Save Roof.UNITED STATES AVIATORS HAVE REACHED PARIS (Associated Press Despatch) SAN FRANCISCO, July, 16, \u2014 Fifty-two persons are unaccounted for and believed to have perisjied within the past twenty-four hours in the forest fires which are sweeping all sections of the Pacific coast.They are W.0.Dillon and family of six, with six loggers caught bv fire on Trapper Creek, Idaho, a party of thirty-five persons, including some children, trapped by fire at Wheeler\u2019s Mill, Pend Oreille County, Washington; four Douk-hobors, caught by a fire in the salmon valley, British Columbia.(Special to the Record) SCOTSTOWN, July 15.\u2014A fire broke out here this morning about 10.15 o\u2019clock in the C.P.R.water tank.The cause of the fire is not known, but it is thought that possibly there was u leak in the smoke pipe and that sparks found their way in between the walls.The roof of the building was completely destroyed and the fire made rapid headway until it reached the water\u2019s edge, and then it naturally was extinguished.Every effort was made to save the roof, but this was found to be.impossible.Even the use of chemicals railed, and it was clearly seen that nothing could lie done to check the progress of the liâmes.\u2018 -4- PAPERS RELATING TO QUEBEC CAMPAIGN OF 1759 (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, July, 15.\u2014(Cable) \u2014 A collection of papers relating to the Quebec campaign of 1759 and forming part of the Townsend heirloom were sold at Sotheby's yesterday for £1,500 to Messrs.Quaritch.A feature of collection was a letter by General Wolfe to General Monckton.In Good Health But Tired\u2014Due Next to Hop to London.PARIS, July 15.\u2014 The United States army fliers, who are circling the globe, and are now in Paris, are ninteen days behind their original schedule, but with a gain of twelve days to their credit since they left I Tokip.J The pilots of the three planes and their assistants were in line neanh on their arrival here, in spite of heavy strain, but they were tired, ! and almost overcome by the enthu-I siasm of their reception!

WINNIPEG, July, 15.\u2014 Mam toba crops appear to be in excellent shape, although somewhat late, but lack of moisture, high temperatures and hot winds have taken a vei / heavy toll of the crops, both wheat and coarse grains in Saskatchewan and Alberta Free Press today.There is little complaint from Manitoba points.The crop is admittedly about two weeks later than last year, but present conditions are quite favorable, and with showers from now till harvest to enable the heads to fill out, a good average yield may be expected.In Saskatchewan and Alberta, conditions south of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway ma be said to be fairly good, but working north in both provinces, conditions gradually become worse, and many points in central and northern Saskatchewan and Alberta report conditions as serious and several points state that rain must be received immediately to even get seed back.GROWTH OF WHEAT CROP UNEVEN The growth of the wheat crop appears to be very uneven throughout the west, running from inches to over three feet.From 25 to 100 per cent is in the shot ! while from 5 to 75 per cent, is in head.Manitoba appears to have sufficient moisture for the time being, although some points state that further rains immediately would be helpful.The lack of moisture in Saskatchewan and Alberta is severe, the great majority of points stating that rain is badly needed.The damage from cutworms or other insects is light.There has been no damage from hail.The conditions of the coarse grains are mostly fair in Manitoba but largely poor, thin and backward in Saskatchewan and Alberta.Wheat in Manitoba appears to be about two feet in height on the average, practically all past the shot blade stage, and is about fifty per cent, in head.SITUATION IN SASKATCHEWAN The average height of wheat in Saskatchewan appears to be about sixteen inches with an average of 71 per cent, in the shot blade, and about 40 per cent, in head.Many correspondents, according to the report, state the situation is discouraging in Saskatchewan.The average height of wheat in Aiberta runs from six inches to two feet.About 95 per cent, is in the shot blade and possibly 50 r> cent, in head.Conditions in Southern Alberta are good, having received light rains during the past few weeks, but more moisture is needed.The action of the Senate last night in amending the Church Union Bill will necessitate its being sent back to the lower House foj.ratification.As the amendments were passed in the Senate as a compromise between the unionist and anti-unionist supporters, there is little fear that the House of Commons will refuse to accept the changes in the bill.If such is the case, however, a joint committee of members of the Commons ai Senate would be formed to discuss the matter.GIOVANNI GIOLITTI, 82-year old Italian ex-premier, who is said to be a likely successor to Mussolini DISTRIBUTION OF CANTEEN FUNDS (Associated Press Despatch) OTTAWA, Ont., July, 15.\u2014The 1 House has often debated the resolution which provides for the distribution of the canteen funds which were accumulated during and immediately after the wrar.The total amount, with accrued interest, to be divided is $2,296,-936.06.The resolution was yesterday adopted and a bill based thereo-given first reading.The resolution provides that $20,000 will be held for payment of outstanding accounts;
