Ottawa, Ont., Jan.19\u2014 Following the preliminary proceedings yesterday parliament was formally opened this afternoon with an added interest to the wonted proceedings, from the fact that it was the first occasion for the Duke of Devonshire to officiate as Governor General.The opening lacked much of the ceremonial and social display that is customary, this beiog due to the exceedingly limited accommodations in the senate chamber of the temporary | Parliament building.Exist i\tExcellency the Governor Gen- ^ j eral motored up from Rideau Hall, ! and was received with the usual sa-| lute frorp the Governor General\u2019s Food Guards.He immediately proceeded to the senate chambers accompanied by the Duchess af Debon-shire, Lady Maud and Lady Blanche Cavendish and the smaller children, and attended by Col.Henderson, military secretary, Oapt.Bulkeley Johnson, Capt.McIntosh and Capt.Kenyon Slaney, Cap.A.D.C.S.SPEECH FROM THRONE.The speech from the throne was brief referring to the war, to the appropriations connected with ib, to j i the national prosperity and forecast- ; ing legislation further extending the term of parliament the text of it was as follows : i Honorable Gentlemen of the Sen-1 ate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons : I desire on this occasion to express my respectful appreciation I of the honour conferred on me\tby 1 the King in appointing me to\tthe distinguished office of governor-gen- ! eral.\u201cI esteem it a high privilege to become closely identified with Can- ada at the time when she is taking Bonar Lav/ Says Amount Re-\t?a.rt ,iD fthe w\u2018f1,a \u2022\u2019\tstruggle, and I look forward to her ability and capacity to exercise an ever increasing influence in bringing | the war to a victorious conclusion.\u201d ! \u201cWhen peace is again happily re-: stored.I am confident that the vast resources of the Dominion will continue to be developed for the lasting benefit of the empire and in the best interests of liberty and human ity.\u201cAlthough nearly two and a half years have elapsed since ,hi ou,bfiak of waf yet that period has not been more than sufficient for the enormous preparation necessary to enable our empire to throw its full strength into the struggle.VALOUR OF MS MAJESTY\u2019S FORCE.THOUSANDS DIE OF STARVATION Terrible Conditions Among People Through out Syria, (Canadian Press Despatch.)

St.Prosper, Que., Jan.19\u2014 Judging from the first joint meeting held ] here last evening the campaign for | the bye-election tor Dorchester Coun-i ty promises to be u.most int.-resting affair.The candidates, Hon.A.8e-; vigny, Minister of Inland Revenue, and Lucien Cannon, Provincial \u2018 Deputy for the County, both made heated and significant speeches.Hon.Mr.Seveigny said he was against the Navy policy in 1911, but since then he had seen the necessity for Canada contributing to the defense of the Empire.He had no apology to make for supporting the Borden administration and appealed for their support on his record.Mr.(.annon chfrged his opponent with being unfaithful to the proruses he made to the electorate in 1911 and dealt with alleged scandals in connection with the war.He said the people were compelled to put war stamps on their letters and their patent medicines because the Government had thrown away money and were compelled to get more.\u201cNational Service,\u201d he said, is preparatory to conscription and -with the chief of my party, I am against conscription.In England they had first the National registration, then conscription, he added.Mr.Bevigny, in replying to Mr.Cannon warned him to beware of his words apd said Liberal papers would not dare publish them.SCORESRISKED LIVES ON ICE Walked From Windsor, Ont., to Detroit on Ice-Clogged River.HUN RAIDER IS NOT OPERATING UNASSISTED Belief in Shipping Circle9 is That Captured Ships Have Been Turned Into Rovers.(Canadian Press Despatch.) New York, N.Y., Jan.19.\u2014Increased apprehension was felt in marine circles today owing to undenied credence which the shipping world in general has placed on overnight re-por,s that the black raider in South Atlantic waters, believed to he the Moewe, is now operating unassisted.According to these reports this fugitive raider carried several sets of armament and has furnished guns to at least two of her captive ships,the St.Theodore and tbe Yarrowdale, which in turn became preying rovers.The Y\u2019arrowdale, British, is reported to have arrived at the Cape Verde Islands with the crews of eight of the ships which were sunk.Her early departure on a raiding mission would cause no surprise among shippers.KEEP WATCH ON SUPPLY SHIPS.Reports as yet unconfirmed place the present whereabouts of the Moewe a considerable distance to the north of the Ireland-to-Brazil sea lanes, where her havoc was accomplished.Meanwhile the Entente war vessels, aside from hunting down an active raiding squadron, are keeping close watch on several merchant vessels suspected of supplying the Moewe and her allies with food and of assisting them in other ways.As a precuation against an illegal use of Brazilian territory, as a base of operations for the German ships, a portion of the Brazilian navy is manoeuvring off that country.PRUSSIAN SPIES ON BOARD CUT THE WIRELESS (Canadian Press Despatch.)

Rome, Jan.19.\u2014According to confidential advices which have reached the Vatican from Germany and Austria, economic conditions in the Cent-tral Empires have become so serious that it is feared that the close of the winter famine cannot be averted.The scarcity of food is severely felt everywhere to such an extent that in spite of every effort for an equal distribution among the population of all the foodstuffs which are available, a large proportion of the residents in some cities are suffering from denutrition.Since the possibility of peace is now excluded, the Pope is deeply concerned about the danger of Germany\u2019s policy of frightfulness, said to have been resorted to in sheer desperation when all hope of peace was lost.All his efforts are now being directed to averting such disasters as reprisals against prisoners of war, deportations from invaded territory and destruction of property on a large scale.CONDITIONS GETTING STEADILY WORSE.London, January 19.\u2014The Times prints a description of conditions in Germany from \u201cthe neutral whose observations proved so accurate in the past.\u201d The Times claims this is one of the first direct uncensored communications that has reached the outer world for some months.This neutral, who dates his despatch, Cologne January 12, says: \u201cSince the period of a former investigation of the economic situation in Germany, matters have been getting steadily worse.It would be no exaggeration to say that one can now see fresh deterioration every week, and the pace downhill is getting faster.Both the German people and the German army on the western front have in the last few months experienced very considerable changes for the worse.I have always, as you know, warned the Allies against over-optimism regarding the economic situation in Germany, but there really doesn\u2019t seem to be much need of warning .now.TO RAID A NEUTRAL.\u201cIt is not only my impression, but, that of my German friends, who are in a position to know the facts as to the food supply, that Germany is faced by the prospect of being unable to continue the struggle unless, as people here wish, she really raids Denmark or Holland, or both for meat, butter and oil.!

audience dispersed.-4- WOMEN WANT TO WORK ON FARM T O O K E COLLARS IS CENTS EACH TOOKE BROS.LIMITED MAKERS -\t- MONTREAL Extraordinary Values Youna Men\u2019s Suit?ir* and Overcoats at $15.00 Come, examine and compare.STAR CLOTHING HALL Over 72,000 Applications Have Been Received in Great Britain.London, Jan.19.\u2014Voluntary enlistment of women is foreshadowed for service on the farms.The Government is expected to recruit, train and place them on farms, The women\u2019s labor department of the Board of Agriculture has already opened a woman\u2019s national land service corps.They received 72,000 applications for agricultural work.There is a notice last night that 8,000 women are wanted in munition factories in the northwest.Wages are six dollars and seventp-flve cents a week of 54 hours.Ages twenty to forty, subject to medical test and fitness.-4- Why Does Puff Pa«te Puff?pjtry tjr.e yo'J.f.'.i end butter S pastry
