[" Record Established 1879 SHERBROOKE, QUE., MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1916 ONE CENT STARTED flaig's Soldiers Swept Forward 0?er an Eleven Mile Front.Huns Used Flaming Lipr When They Made Violent Attack to Regain Fleury, But Without Success.Italian Troops Land at Saloniki.Russians Take Several Heights and Positions Beyond Stokhod River.New York, Aug.21.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The Tribune\u2019s X.ondon correspondent ' cabled Sunday night as follows: The British and French on the Somme front followed up their victories of Friday with new attacks to-day, -which won for the French a strongly fortified wood between1 Guillemont and Maurepas, and for the British a section of trenches north of BazentinTe-Petit.The statement says that General Haig\u2019s Friday attacks had cleared out the famous Leipsic redoubt, which, coming in official despatches, has caused the greatest rejoicing here, and military opinion now holds that these gains were the most important since the first stroke of the offensive.The redoubt has been a thorn in the British flank since the first day.It threw back the storming parties with heavy losses then, and had resisted all efforts since.In the present circumstances, this is the most noteworthy, because the ground the British have just gained along the watershed from Pozieres toward Peronne is extremely valuable.No better criterion of the condition of the French and German armies has yet appeared than the fact that the French can attack with fury after six months\u2019 warfare at Verdun, while the Germans are com-i pletely thrown on the defensive after1 seven weeks of the Franco-British effort on the Somme.BULGAKS OCCUPY FLORTNA Athens, 6 p.m., via London, Aug.21.\u2014(Special)\u2014The Bulgarian occupation of Fiorina caused consternation in the capital, and hasty conferences of the King, the General Staff and members of the Cabinet.BRITISH SWEPT FORWARD OVER 11 MILE FRONT VIOLENT ATTACK BY GERMANS ON FLEURY REPULSED Paris, Aug.21.\u2014 (Special)\u2014 The Germans delivered a violent attack on Bieury last night, using flaming liquid, but without result, says the Arar Office statement to-day.CANNOT STOP ALLIES PLANS IN MACEDONIA Paris, Aug.21\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The attempted counter offensive by the German and Bulgarian forces on both flanks of the Entente Allies' front in Macedonia, with the apparent intention of hindering the plans of General Sarrail, the Entente commander, will have no effect on the execution of his campaign, it is said here.In the fighting at Moglen the Bulgarians, according to a despatch received heee, had 400 killed ard 600 wounded, and 43 were taken prisoners.BULGARS WILL ATTACK ALLIES ON GREEK SOIL London, Aug.21\u2014 Following their advance on a two mile front on Saturday, the British attacked and progressed on an eleven-mile front yesterday, capturing the ridge overlooking Thiepval, high ground north of Pozieres, half mile of trenches west of High Wood, and other lesser important positions.Prisoners taken amounted to 796, and heavy counterattacks, especially at Buzentin-le-Pe-tit, though at first successful in gaining a little ground, were eventually definitely repulsed, with con\u2019 siderable losses being inflicted on the Teutons.Heavy fighting has broken out again at many sectors of this front, hut the British have been able to consolidate their gains.The offensive on Saturday was successful on a front of two miles, to a depth of from 200 to 600 yards, from High Wood to the junction point with the French troops.Successful raids have been carried out on other parts of the front.The French continue to press forward in the neighborhood of Guillemont, and Paris reports the capture of a strongly fortified wood between that town and Maurepas.In the Verdun sector the Germans are fiercely counter-attacking in an effort to regain Fleury, the loss of which they concede.OFFENSIVE ON SALONIKI FRONT The offensive on the Saloniki front is slowly developing and the fighting is growing in intensity on the 150 mile battle line from 'Lake Presba to Lake Doiran.Both sides claim minor successes, but apparently no action of first importance has occurred as yet.An interesting feature of this situation is the advance of Bulgarian detachments towards the Greek seaport of Kavala.This port is well to the east of the Allied front» and the purpose of the Bulgarian move is not made clear in the despatches.MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE A despatch from the Reuter correspondent, on the British front in France, says : \u201cThe week-end fighting developed into one of the most important and successful battles of the western offensive.Not only is our progress towards the complete mastery of the ridge highly satisfactory, but we have captured about a thousand officers and men, many machine guns and a good deal of material.Several strong points have beep destroyed and the way has been prepared for further progress.\u201cIn the neighborhood of the Leipsic redoubt, the Houquet Farm and Martinpuich we met with much success.The enemy organized several strong counter-attacks, which, with one exception, were dispersed with heavy losses.0.S.0.AWARDED COL D.C.DRAPER i ____ Carried Mortally Wounded C.0.of 5th C.M.R.From Firing Line Himself Wounded London, Aug.21.\u2014The London Gazette publishes a list of 73 Canadians who have

fellow ; townsmen here, David Lloyd George, ; Minister of War, said : ( \u201cI am satisfied -with the way i things are going.I feel for the first time in two years that the nippers are gripping and before long we will i hear the crack.Then we will be able to extract the kernel.\u201cI say at once that we shall see that there will not he another war in our day.The British people have made greater sacrifices than we ever .thought possible.Three years ago I nobody dreamed that Great Br.tain I would pour millions of young manhood into our battle-front.The vigor of our demand must be according to the measure of our sacrifices.\u201d ¦-è- ENGLAND Four Dattafions and Other Drafts It Is Officially Announced Land Safely London, Aug.21.\u2014 (Special > Thet!

RATEPAYER AS TO AMOUNT EXPENDED.The following additional opinions have been given to the Record on the subject of the condition of the streets.FAVORS GRAVEL STREETS PENDING PERMANENT PAVING MOVEMENT.Col.H.R.Fraser, an ex-Mayor of the city, expresses himself as follows: \u201cWhile I have not formed a definite opinion concerning the remedy, I have a very definite opinion as to the deplorable condition of the streets all over the city which is noticeable, more particularly in some of the principal streets in the residential portion of the North Ward, such as Montreal Street, and Portland Avenue, leading to the beautiful park of Mr.B.0.Howard.\u201cMy view of the situation is that pending any definite and permanent paving policy which may | e adopted, if more gravel was used throughout the city, it would give us infinitely better streets at a moderate cost and give general satisfaction to all the citizens.APPROVES OF CITIZENS\u2019 COMMITTEE.Dr.J.E.Noel is of the opinion that a citizens\u2019 committee appointed to study the whole question might be productive of a satisfactory solution.\u201cI would not like to blame the aldermen, as 1 believe they are doing I all they can.It seems to me if a committee was formed of interested ratepayers, we could come to some conclusion and have as good streets in Sherbrooke as anywhere else.Strangers coming to the city must certainly be scandalized at their condition.\u201cIt seems to me that if we cannot pave our streets now, we could at least, spend a few thousand dollars to put gravel on the most important ones.This would be practically in ihe nature of permanent work.BLAMES THE SYSTEM NOT THE ALDERMEN.Mr.J.H.Walsh expresses his views as follows: \u201cI am of the opinion that we are sometimes disposed to criticize and find fault with the aldermen when really these gentlemen are doing their utmost to save the city and to improve conditions.It appears to me that the fault is not with them but rather with the sjistem and organization which has been in existence for so many years.It looks now as if a determined effort is being made in the direction of permanent underground work in the city\u2019s main thoroughfare, Wellington St., and I imagine when this is completed the aldermen will see that permanent; pavement is installed.I look forward to a movement in this direction early next spring.\u201d ALD.FOREST REPLIES TO RATEPAYER.Aid, Forest, Chairman of the Road Department of the City of Sherbrooke, has handed to the Record a statement of the expenditure of his department for 1915 in answer to \u201cRatepayer\u2019s\u201d letter in Friday\u2019s issue.He wishes to point out that out of over $25,000 appearing in the operating account for work done, the net cost to the city was only $811.57, the balance having been charged to sundry ratepayers.According to Dr.Forest\u2019s own figures, however, the total expenditure for the maintenance of the streets for the year reached $15,819.14.The maintenance account is as fol-j lows: Removal of snow and ice, sanding sidewalks, etc.\t2671.39 \\ Maintenance of streets .8042.42 j Repairs to sidewalks, bridges and gutters, cleaning and sprinkling streets, etc.5105.*5» ______________________: ON THE WAY Organize Board of Trade Coir mitte and Join E.T, Boards PROGRESSIVE VILLAGE IN WESTERN PART OF MISS-ISQUOI COUNTY WILL AID IN

They are superb, these Frenchmen.\t.The British charge stoically and more grimly.They do not shout.I have heard them cursing.The British lino advances as a sinister cold lino of steel, in a sort of jog-trot.It Is a line of cool-brained gladiators, alert of eye and thoroughly bent on slaughter.Our Briton sees his foe, , and smiles savagely with the cal- ! culating judgment of a good Rugby forward, and with the bound of a wild cat.The German, in spite of what is often said to the contrary, is a brave i and determined man with the bayonet.The German discipline is undoubted.; It is a part of the people.It is the fibre of the nation.They charge well, advancing with a stooping, jerky trot, uttering hoarse guttural cries and \u201cHurrahs.\u201d On they come, in solid masses, shoulder to ; shoulder, hoping by the weight and i speed of the dense columns to get a momentum that nothing can with-stanu.\t.But if this compact line nnd solid column is broken, as it so often is to-day by shrapnel, rifle, or machine gun nre, the sense of cohesion is lost, and the heavy column is then no match for the lightning bayonet onfall of the French infantry, or the weighty heave forward of a British regiment.Two Interesting Incidents Show tho Grasp J.J.Hill Had of Hia Own Buolnoaa J.J.Hill's close acquaintance with tho detail of his railway and the personnel of his men is illustrated by a story told by a New Yorker who once accompanied him on a supervision trip over the line.The train stopped on a Dakota siding, and Mr.Hill and his friend got out and walked forward to the engine.Hill observed the number and said: \"Number 94\u2014 let me see, I believe it's Roberts.Hello, Roberts, how Is' 94 running now?You had her In the shop last month, I remember.What was the matter?Cylinders, wasn't It?\u2019\u2019 He shook hands with the engineer 1 and walked on.The man said to the New Yorker who had watched the Incident with tho utmost amazement: \"Did you ever see the like?I was four years on the Rook Island and I didn\u2019t know the name of the president, and certainly never saw him\u2014 and here is Mr.Hill, who not only remembers my name and that I\u2019m running 94, but, has kept track of her and recollects when she was In the shop and why.That\u2019s the kind of a man to work for.\u201d On that same trip they ran across a Northern Pacific train flying down a grade with hot-boxes blazing.As the crew began to carry water, Hill drew up and said to a brakeman: Cross-examined; Fired \u201cWhat is the number of this train?\u201d When told that it was Number 40, he thought a minute, and then continued : \u201cLet me see Norris\u2014he\u2019s conductor, Isn\u2019t he?\u201d Norris appeared on the scene with the words: \u201cHere I am\u2014who the devil are you?\u201d Mr.Hill ignored the question and asked bruskly, \u201cHow fast were you coming down that grade?\u201d \u201cAbout twenty-five miles an hour\u2014 what business is it of yours?\u201d Again passing over the inquiry, Hill continued his catechism: \u201cDoesn\u2019t this road have some rules governing the speed of freights?\u201d Very Sau^y \u201cWell, I don't know what business it is of yours, but we are supposed to run twelve miles ordinarily and twenty-four miles In emergencies, if we carry live stock.\u201d \u201cHave you any live stock on board?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d Then the blow fell: \u201cNorris, my name is Hill.I am president of this road.You have shown that you know the rules and at the same time have violated them.Take the train into Chinook, turn over your papers, and consider yourself discharged.\u201d NEED FORESTRY FARM tU Y , i it \u2018±.t,Tvcent re le»» .a liijivlo \u2022\t» late, mail' _ jia'-uony.Looasaire, Alauoç.Co».i ;,j.viaiteU viieKly.r ATHLEKN H.TAYLOR, L.A.B.i.l.iocDtiaiii of tuv Associated Board the Royal college and Royal Aca-;my of Music, London, Eng.), Teacher's plornu.Lessons in Violin and Theory Music.Pupils prepared for exams, ox 214, LennoxviUe Phone 430 r 1.By Purifying the Blood You Get Rid of Pain Here is the Sworn Statement of a Lady Who Was Cured by Dr.Chase\u2019s Kidney«Liver Pills.AUCTIONEERS AND ACCOUNT-ikNTS JOHN J.GKIFFILil.AUCTIONEER, \u2022J Accountant., Commiatuouei uud Auditor, Sherbrooke, Wuo.I H.BRYCBJ, C.Gr.A., ACCOUNTANT J \u2022 Auditor.Foutre Ulock.^herbroukc AUVOCATEb ( à \\ATHi.VV C ___ vvkills & white, advo catê», Quebec Bank.Sherbrooke.t Lit A SICK & RUCiG, ADVOCATES, P £ü«v.\tb xuui Mouirc&i* L ASS ANDRA .Aug.22j A THEN J A .S^pt.la For Information apply local Agents, or The Robert Kefor ;

fight, run just the same risks of their lives as the combatant soldiers.A French army surgeon tells the following concerning his bearers: \u201cOne morning, about ten, the colonel telephoned: \u2018A big shell has Just burst in a machine gun dug-out.There were ten mèn with the guns; five are killed, and the five others badly wounded.Try and get the survivors out somehow.You have exactly an hour and a half to do it In; we attack at noon.\u2019 I got my men together and asked for volunteers, explaining what the colonel's orders were\u2014that is, to get to the five wounded soldiers at any cost.If the ten first ambulance men got killed, the ten others were to wait In the shelter of a wood to take their places.\u201cMy N.C.O.saluted and said: \u2018All right; we will get there, sir.\u2019 At halfpast eleven ha came back with the five wounded gunners, but regretted to report that two of his stretcher hearers had been killed, but their bodies had been brought back.That was all the N.C.O.said.What they did was told only by an officer whom they saved, and he said: \u2018Your ten stretcher bearers came to me and reported their orders.I said, \u201cNonsense; I shall not allow you to go.The place Is rained with shot and shell.It would he suicide.\" \u201c \u2018Your N.C.O.merely rejoined: \u201cWe belong to the Medical Service; our orders from our surgeon are to bring the Wounded at any price,\u201d saying which, he whistled and went on with his men.They had to cover sixty yards of open ground, over which shot and shell were pouring, by alternate running and by crawling.They reached the place safely.The Germans in the trench opposite were amazed, and a German officer shouted in perfect French, \u201cYou are a parcel of idiots; not one of you will get back.\" \"To get back was indeed the worst part of the Job.The ten ambulance men, five carrying soldiers, and five carrying dead, started back.The enemy opened rifie fire immediately.Two of the ambulance men were killed at.once.The others went on.It was the N.C.O.who himself brought back the bodies of his two men who had been killed and those of the dead gunners they had been carrying.Finally, all the wounded and dead were brought back to the French lines.The N.C.O.\u2014who escaped by a miracle with a bullet through his arm\u2014is a small southern peasant landholder, almost middle-aged, with a family of four children.\" LIEUT.TURNBULL KILLED AT FRONT Was Bstiinii The Lines When Struck Dy A German Shell Word was received by Mrs.W.E.Paton, of the Paton Manufacturing Company, this afternoon, that Lieut.Kenneth Turnbull had been killed at the front.The particulars to hand were cabled over.It is stated that the deceased officer and another officer were behind the lines when a shell exploded and both were instantly killed.The deceased soldier held a commission as lieutenant in the 73rd Highlanders, and worked hard in recruiting for that corps.He was well-known in Sherbrooke, having been for some time connected with the Paton Company here.He is survived by his father, mother, a brother and sister.WEALTHY HORSEMAN WORE RUSTIC GARB HAIS: REAL CQMiMNOER TURKS SPARED NONE SEAWEED AMMUNITION Protestant and Catholic Armenian* Victims of Savage Malice i A correspondent of the London Chronicle writes: It Is not surprising that when Turkey declared war upon the Entente, the Armenians secretly : prayed for the success of the allies, though they remained perfectly quiet, well knowing that any premature ebullition of sympathy would bring swift I retribution.All the insurrections 1 which took place occurred in conse quence of the measures taken by the Government against the Armenians.Euch as escaped the massacre fled to the mountains and Joined others in like case.The Armenians of Van, when, in April, they saw massacres occurring in districts to the northwest of the Lake, rose in arms In self-defence, entrenched themselves in the garden quarter of the town, and held out uutil the arrival of the Russians in June.The somi-tndepen dent mountaineers in Sasun and Zeltun i-eslated desperately to the last, until all were exterminated.In ono or two other places the Armenians where they had arms, resisted.In all cases where such opposition was made, wholesale massacres ensued.Elsewhere in Anatolia, the Armenians only existed aj scattered communities, and were forced to submit to murder or deportation without any show of resistance.In the Hamidian massacres of ISiQ-1896, as a rule, only the males were slain, and the Proteslr\u2019nt and Catholic communities were spared.In the present case, vast numbers of women and children were butchered or carried off to a fate worse than death, and the Protestants and Catholics shared in the common fate of their race.The fine work done by the missionaries whose numerous schools and colleges were oases of Western thought and civilization In a vast desert of ignorance and savagery, has been brought to nought a.t a lignai from Enver and his co-bandits.A sign of the altered attitude of Australia toward the Japanese is found in a resolution just adopted by the Senate of Sydney University, which reads \"That it is desirable that provision should bo made for the cstablishui nf of a course in Eastern languages, serviceable to the development of commercial relations between Australia and other countries\u2014-for instance, China and Japan, the Dutch colonies, (In the East In-( (Ueol nrwj Gonth America.\" Powder to be Taken From the Sad Sea Waves The curious fact is revealed in an Interesting article in \"Chamber\u2019s Journal\" that seaweed is harvested for the purpose of making ammunition.The main chemical products of seaweeds, manufactured as kelp, are iddine and potash.In the United States, for some time past, considei-able attention has been paid to obtaining potash from seaweed.\u201cIt was recently announced that, the kelp crop of the Pacific Ocean is to be harvested by a powder company to obtain an Ingredient used in making ammunition for tlie warring nations of Europe.One of the largest manufacturers of powder in (lie United States has decided to spend a large sum in this enterprise in order to obtain potassium chloride required to fill war orders, ns it can not longer be obtained from Germany.\u201d Seaweed, too, is of much value as a food.The weed which grows In such abundance in the Sargasso Sea, which Is called \"gulf weed,\u201d Is used very largely for pickling and as salads.On the coast of Pembroke a very considerable industry is the gathering of laver, a seaweed used for food.The laver gatherers camp out in huts, collect and dry the laver and send It to the ¦Swansea market, and it is sold in the West End of London as a delicacy in winter.\"It is purple when fresh, but black when you buy It, and something like thin liquorice to look at.It can be made into little rolls, dusted with oatmeal and fried.Pickled with pepper and vinegar and oil, or with lemon Juice, it Is excellent.\u201d Dulse and tangle are two of the best known edible seaweeds.Dulse has really been found a very valuable food in the North, and the Icelanders boll it In milk and salt it down in casks.Tangle or \u201ctnnkle\u201d Is a well known did fashioned Erlnburgh dainty, the young stalks being very gelatinous ard nutritious.PREMIER SALANDRA A travelling man was exasperated ; because the station in a certain I Southern city was so far removed from I he business section.As he mopped the perspiration from his forehead he grumbled to a negro boy at his side: \"Why did they put the station so far away from town'\u201d\u2019 The negro was nleinlv nuzzled for a minute, then said: \"1 dunno, lest \u2018twas \u2019cause they wanted it

and prosperity of Gr Britain.\u201d When, at the dinner gii in Rome in honor of the visit of Asquith, Signor Salandra.the Itai, Prime Minister, thus expressed hi self in his felicitous speech, there ¦ double sincerity in tils words.No m.in Italy lias a grtater admiration i British Parliamentary and consth tional system in general and for A: Asquith in particular than Signor L andra, and men of ail

H r since been discovered, however, t! there is no Jjettor man for the in Italy than the man who, some (hi, years ago, abandoned science i politics.Although he has had ov thirty years of Parliamentary expen once, until a couple of years ago f.people, even in Italy, knew much abcu Signor Salandra, who entered : Cabinet, as Minister of Agriculture k; 1890, and two years later was Unde,' Secretary of State for Finance.Born in IS53 at Tfola, near Foggii the hottest town in Italy.Signor S 1 andra is the first south Italian occupy the Premiership for eighty i years.There is a rule In Italy : no one can enter the Chamber nr he is thirty years old.Salandra ; tered shortly after he had attain' that age, and soon made his mark -finance.Of his private life very is known, for he is a man who shun publicity.His wife, however, Dowi i Maria Salandra, is well known in n \u2022 nection with philanthropic v/o-k i Italy, and her extensive charities haw endeared iter to the hearts of tlio ::-,.ands of her countrymen and countrywomen A Surrey c impany started their ntt\\ck upon a German trench on the 1st July\u2014the date when the Allies Pish le ran\u2014by kicking oil a foot bail into the trench.They finish ed I y raptnrin the trench and regain ing the football.The latter will he deposited in- tne museum of the com-nnuv's countv town Army Found French's Successor in First Army\u2019s Leader Going out in command of the B'irst Army of the British Expeditionary Force, Sir Douglas Haig had seventeen months' experience-\u2014IVlons, Ypres and Loos\u2014of the warfare of the Western front, which all agree is the toughest school any soldier has ever known.There was no doubt who commanded the First Army.It was Haig.He was no figurehead for the work of an able Clrief-of-Staff.Home gossip did not bandy his name about; he was not a personality to the public, though he was to the army.When anyone asked at the front who was the best man to take Sir John French\u2019s place the answer was almost Invariably: \u201cHaig.\u201d ,He had not captured the army's Imagination, but its reason.The tribute was one to brains.The new army was arriving in great numbers from its English drill grounds when lie took over command: His country expected him to make it an Instrument which would execute a successful offensive on the Western front, where the four months\u2019 effort of the of the Germans at Verdun, the Frenck effort in Champagne and the British effort at Neuve Chapelle and Loos had convinced many military critics that the feat was impossible.His first operation, carried out.without a hitch and unknown to the Germans, was the taking over of the trenches occupied in the Arras sector by General Petain\u2019s army, which was released for Verdun.This gave the British an intact front of about one hundred miles; and was decided upon by the allies\u2019 commanders as wiser than a premature British Offensive In the mire and bog of the fiat country of Flanders and Northern France.Winner and Bettor of Fortunes Wore a Rubber Collar\u2014Narratives of Turf One of the best known traditions of fne Canadian turf is John Evans, long business manager for the stables of jos.B.Seagram.For many years Mr.Evans was connected with the sport, and he used to tell any number of interesting stories relating thereto, one of which is about the late Alfred Burton, a well known character some years ago on the American race tracks.Burton was a native of Nashville, Tenn., and owned and trained the horse Jack Frost, which won tho Bowie Stakes at Baltimore a generation ago.On this occasion Burton is credited with mortgaging his horse for $2,600, which amount he bet on him at odds of about 4 to 1.Might Be Trainer But\u2014 Contrary to custom, success failed to turn his head.He was one of those : happy-go-lucky Individuals who worried little about his personal appearance.On the night of the day Jack Frost won the coveted stakes Burton wras In Baltimore, and as the owner of the victorious horse he attracted much attention.Approaching the Tennessean, a newsboy addressed him with the following query; \u201cSay, mister, Jimmy jist bet me a dime you was the owner of Jack Frost and I bet you wasn\u2019t.\u201d Very modestly Burton replied that he was the owner of the horse.\u201cAh! you can\u2019t hand me any of that stuff, j Yuh may rub him, but yuh dun\u2019t own ' him,\u201d replied the urchin.The lad\u2019s impression was no doubt much the same as hundreds of others not really acquainted with the odd ways of the Southern turfman.They Almost Fainted In those days pool-selling was very popular on the American tracks, and Burton was an extensive speculator in this department, of the sport.On one memorable occasion at one of the big New York tracks he strolled up wearing a celluloid collar and clothes more becoming to a stable hand.When the call for bids came for a first choice it was not surprising to those who j knew him to hear Burton say $5,000.After he had bought about three pools at $5,000 each he was spotted by a couple of,bystanders to whom he was a stranger.\u201cWhat do you think of that?\u201d one was heard to ask the other.\u201cThat there fellow with the paper collar just hid $5.000 for the first choice.He looks as if he would be lucky to have the price of a ham sandwich and a cup of coffee.\u201d Such a sight was no doubt a great novelty to these men, hut the turf has had.and still lias, many such noted characters.COWANSVILLE DAIRY BOARD V 772 Packages of Butter Sold at 34 3-8 Cents Showing an Advance From Last Week Cowansville, Aug.21\u2014(Special) \u2014 At the usual time on Saturday rafter-noon last, the E.T.Dairymen's Exchange met in the Town Hall.There was a fair representation of interested parties.Eleven factories were represented and 772 packages of butter were hoarded.President Geo.S.Walsh had charge of sales.The buyers represented were as follows : Z.Limange & White Packing Co., by Mr.John A.O\u2019Dell.Wm.Davies Co., Ltd., by M.E.Bonneau.A.A.Ayer & Son, by Mr.Fred.Ayer.Oliver Dorion and Stroud, and Hodgson Bros, by Mr.Harvey Beatty.Lovell & Christmas and Gunn & Langlois, by Mr.Geo.Payne.The ruling price was 341c.The first opportunity for purchase was responded to by a bid of 31îc., after which advances were quickly offered to 34jc.and no sales, after which ifids dropped to 34J and again advanced to 34|c.The following is the results of the afternoon's business : Mr.Z.Limange bought : Adamsville\u2014145 pkgs butter @ 34gc Brome Valley\u201485 pkgs butter @ 341c Cowansville\u201450 pkgs butter @\t34|c Crown\u201447 pkgs butter @\t341c Elm Bank\u201425 pkgs butter @ 34se Magog\u201430 pkgs butter @\til \u2018c Mystic Gem\u201460 pkgs butter @ 342c Silver Star\u201450 pkgs butter @ :Hi>c Wm.Davies Co., Ltd., bought .Foster\u201480 pkgs butter\t3t;!c No.Stanbridge\u201450 pkgs butter @\t34!|c Oliver Dorion & Strut:!

Chronicle describes the Turkish massacres in Armenia as follows: The Armenian massacres, in which it.is feared that from 800,000 to 1,000,000 victims have perished, or are destined to perish, in exile, represent the wholesale extermination of a race.That perhaps a quarter of a m'lliqyi escaped to Transcaucasia does not alter the fact that the Young Turks Intended to make away with them en bloc with the exception of the Armen-ion colonies of Constantinople, Smyrna, and one or two other ports.The 1 reasons, alleged by their executioners were that the Armenians had been incited to revolt by the Entente Powers, in co-operation with the Russian offensive movement; that their wholesale deportation was a measure dictated by imperative military necessity, and that repressive measures were not undertaken against the Armenians until June, when they rose in Van and other places In the war zone and Joined hands writh the enemy.As a matter of fact, the deportation of Armenians from places widely removed from the theatre of war commenced as early as April, and synchronized with the systematic massacre of most of the able-bodied males, so tiiat at one blow the remainer of the population were deprived of their natural defenders.The residue consisting for the most part of old men, women and children, were uprooted from their homes and sent across Asia Minor, the great majority on foot, until such as survived reached their destinations in the deserts of Syria.The tortured progress of these unfortunates, at the mercy of theft brutal genarme escorts or of the savage Kurdish tribes who attacked them on the road, affords one of the most poignant pages in history.The present writer, who spent two years in Armenia, In an official position, can safely say that, even In normal times, their condition was tlto-gether unendurable.They were treated as a subject and inferior race, and could get neither Justice nor protection.Their only hope lay In internal reform, a vain hope, never realized in the face of determined Turkish opposition.Nor could they look for external help, as could the Greeks and Bulgare, to rescue them from Turkish STOCK BROKERS 84-S8 St.Francois Xavier St., Montreal.23 Broad Street.\tNew York City Private Wire Connections.faitw&iA-QM mi j m an ,\tBRETON ARROW COLLAR POINTS WORN FLAT OR ROLLED OUTWARD ISces.2for30c SfcrSOc I2fnr$1.75 Cujett, Peabody&Co., Inc.Montszal Hydrated Lime, Sand, Gravel, Pulp Plaster, Brick, Cement, Fire Brick and Clay.VV.E.LOOIVIIS Births, Marriages, Death?BIRTHS.ROBERTSON \u2014 At North Hatley, Que., August 15th., 1916, a daughter, Barbara Eunice, to Pte.and Mrs.Jas.S.Robertson.IN ME MORI AM.In loving memory of our dear tv if a and mother, Mrs.Joshua Rick, who departed this life August 20th,\t1915.One precious to our hearts has gone.The voice \\vc loved is stilled ; The place made vacant in our home Can never more be filled.Our Father, in His wisdom called The boon His love had given.And though in ear\u2018h the body lies.The soul is safe in Heaven.\u2014Inserted by Her Husband and> OV» i 1 raw I EIGHT «ÆERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1916.Cloth i eh is Furrier OUTFITTER FOR MEN & WOMEN 147 Weiiinoton St m CLOSEDOWN WTO HELD OP COÉTICOOK FOR HECHOITING THETFORD MINES AT LITTLE LAKE AUGUST COST PBiOE SALE !
