At Wingham, Ontario Ottawa, Feb.6\u2014Search for the bodies of those who perished in the | burning of the parliament buildings has been rewarded by the discovery of two of the victims.The body of J.B.R.Laplante, Deputy Clerk of the House, was found early Saturday and tonight the body of Alphonse Desjardine, Dominion Police constable, was uncovered by the workers who have kept unceasingly at the task since Friday afternoon.Desjardine\u2019s body was found under twelve feet of debris, with a large steel beam across « the legs.By his side was the line of hose with which he and his uncle, | Alphonse Desjardines and Ralph Fanning were working.The bodies of.these two are expected to be recovered soon.No trace has been found | of the remains of B.B.Law, M.P.Friends of J.O.Lavailee, M.P., for Bellechasse, are anxious for information as to his whereabouts.At 131 Albert street where Mr.Lavalles has rooms, he has not been seen since Thursday afternoon.The Dominion Police stick to the theory that the fire was due to an accident, and nothing has been found to indicate that it was due to in- cendiaties.Tests made of the fire extinguishers in the House show that they had not been tampered with.Commissioner Sherwood stated tonight that he was satisfied that the investigation which will be held would establish the fire was not due to incendiary origin.Mr.P.A.Pringle, K.C., is understood to be the gov-' ernment\u2019s choice as chairman of the commission, which will be given the widest powers.Messages of sympathy have been reccived by H.R.H.the Duke of Connaught, and by the government from Queen Alexandra, Baron Beyens, acting Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs; Sir R.M.Ferguson, Gov- ! ernor-General of Australia; Governor Stanley of Victoria, Australia; Rt.Hon.Bonar

Hespeler.Warnings were sent to several of the manufacturers in the city and the chief of police sessived word thet an attempt was to be made où the Winter Fair buildings, which are now occupied by the Militia, and the armories, where two batteries are housed.Special guards were azsigned to these places, as well as to several of the factories in the city.It was impossible to find out where the supposed warnings came from or to determine whether they were bonafide or not, but Chief Randall and the Military authorities decided to take no chances, and so the guards were put on and will remain on indefinitely.MORE PRECAUTIONS.St.Catherines, Ont, Feb.6\u2014Overseas soldiers stationed here were last night called from the streets and theatres and placed on guard on the smmunition

the fire which yesterday destroyed the shell department of the A.B.Jardine foundry.It is learned that he has been recently employed in munition plants in Galt, Berlin and Hamilton, and in each case gave a name different from Schmidt.Chief of Police Thomas Wilsonsays there is no doubt that the fire was started by an explosion.What may prove an important clue is the story told by Ernest Radkie, who, with Charles Markle, was the last to leave the plant.This was at 18:50 p.m.they having remained after the others to do some repair work.Radkie stated that ealier in the day he saw a man enter the shop carrying a grip, apparently in search of a job.When he left the man had gone, but the grip stood beside the resin tank.Watchman Loveday states that he distinctly heard an explosion and his statement is corroborated by cthers who also heard the report.CHARGED WITH ESPIONAGE.Wingham, Ont., Feb.6\u2014On the order of Col.Sherwood, head of the Dominion Police, Adolphe 8chatte, aged 39, a member of the Wingham band and an alleged German agent, was arrested tonight by Provincial Officer Phippen and a detachment of soldiers.Schatte is said to be wanted on charges of espionage.It is

GERMAN-CANADIANS.Ottawa, Feb.6\u2014Apropos of the wild rumors of German plots, incendiary and otherwise, which have been floating around the Capital since the Parliament Buildings fire, General Sir

the Minister of Militia pointed out that about $8 German-Canadians had already been killed while fighting with the Canadian forces.The Chief Intelligence Officer with the Canadian Contingent, Captain Hahn, of Stratford, a German.Canadias, regarding whose position there has been some criticism, is now in the firing line where he had already won his D.8.0.\u201cTo those who are endeavoring to make a racial question of this, I say that it would be more fitting if they would follow the example of some of the men they are criticizing and go to the front\u201d, said Sir Sam.\u201cThis is not a war of races but a war for liberty and liberty is as dear to many Germans as to anyone else.In South Africa, I think I was the first to enlist Boers in the British service.I never saw better fighters once

German-Canadians who have enlisted, there would be many more.\u201d GUARDING OF FACTORIES.The Minister of Militia is now receiving many requests from Munitions manufacturers and municipalities in

\u201cThe Providence Journél three weeks ago notified the Department of Juin chat ét nd roc EE EEE a of the German Embassy that the Parliament Howse of Ottawa, Rideau Hall, the bome of the Governor-General in Ottawa, and large munitions plants in Ontario, were to be the next objects of German attack on this centinent, in the order named.The Journal, furthermore, notified the Department of Justice at the same time, that the German Embassy had given instructions that the wprk of destruction \"in American munitions plants should be temporarily suspended, and that the next move to be made would \u2018give the people of Canada a few things to think about.\u2019 \u201d The Providence Journal is a paper which has deservedly gained a great reputation through the secret service system which it organized at the beginning of the war.The material which it gathered in its anti espionage campaign regarding the activities of Dernberg, Dumba, Von Papen, Boy-Ed and other emissaries of the Huds was largely responsible for the dismissal of those agents by the United States, as it established or helped to estaBlish the chain of evidence which connected them with the plots to disorganise industry by strikes, to blow up munition factories and it other crimes.Journals opcien le, therefor, wel wore litenag ta It knows whereof it speaks.\"The Germans believe in the thecey of \u201cmass suggestion.\u201d Consequently it is by no means surprising that the crime committed in the House of Commohs should be only one of a series.It was followed on the next night by the destruction of an Ottawa factory which was carrying out war contracts.Then comes the fire in a shell factory at Hespeler, where an Austrian has been arrested.The evidence is cumulative.There afe desperate outsiders and treachYons insiders trying to get in their hein- ons work at various points.'.It is not our intention to create needless alarm or hysteria among the population but we insist most emphatically that the public are entided to- and should themselves demand\u2014better protection than they have got in the past.Dominion Chief of Police Sherwood affects to beliave that the fire at Ottawa was not due to an enemy agency.At the same time he beliss himself by arresting men whom he suspects of having been connected with the outrage.Since the beginning of the war The Chronicle has strenuously advocated the internment of enemy aliens, but dangerous characters are still allowed to go their ways among us freely and to meet when and where they will.So long us this gatter ip lef in the hands of the Department of Militia the arrangements to meet the situation cannot be perfect unless martisl law is proclaimed, so limited are the powers of the men who are entrusted with this important charge.In view of these limitations their work has been remarkably good .We are not of the opinion that it is time to proclaim martial law in this country under present circumstances but we do urje that the Govern ment, through the Department of Justice, should employ far more rigid messures to govern the case of suspects, too many of whom have been allowed to get away already with valuable information.It has been prov- od that Horn was bribed by Von Papen to blow up the St.Croix Bridge and that Koenig has operated is Quebec, not to mention many others.It is also known that the public is unaware of all the suspicious fres, etc, that have occurred in Canada The enemies against whom the Empire and its Allies are now striving will stick at nothing in their attempt to wreak.ruin and to intimidate Canada by their frensied outrages.For them murder, arson and vandalism ars but commonplace incidents ia their round of terrorism and Kultur, And-\u2014while their efforts will only stimulate hatred of their pariah breed and key the warlike split of the Dominion up to a higher intensity\u2014 they emphasise the need of greater precaution on our part.What Ottawa bxperlenced the other day may bs Quebec's or Taromto\u2019s fate tomorrow.\u2019 We must guard ill threatened places with increased vigilance\u2014our provincial legisiatures, our munition factories, our barracks, camps, railways and bridges.We must rid suck places of all doubtful characters \u201c who might be tempted by Von Bernetorfi's gold.We must intern every .anemy allen who might \u2018use terch or bomb with designs upon our lives of propery.For the plotters are well organised and heavily financed.\u201cBternal vigilance is the pries of safety.\u201d It Is no good for the responsible authorities to pursas an cetrich-liks policy.An oupce of prevention is worth sll the investigation in the world.Too long have the dangers that beset us beens ignored or minimised.Butthis cannot go on.The public will not let it go on.It demands a more vigorous polity.Those who talk about \u201ckeeping calm asd suspending \" judgment\u201d are the worst friendgaf their country! It would probably take the annihilation of the Allied forces, the sinking of the British fleet and the invasion of Canads before\u2019 they would realise there was anything serious bippening.And even then the Huns would probably be compelled to pull their whiskers out before they woke up.We bave been too lenient with the alien in our midst.We bave cher- ished\u2014aiid are cherishing~toe many serpents in the national besom.Now.that our legislators have so narrowly escapéd with their lives\u2014new that the magnificent building, where Macdonald, Brown, Blake, Cartier, Dorion, Mackensie, Holton, Mdwatt and Tupper where historic figures sad where Laurier sat for forty years, has been converted into a pile of ruing- .now, perhaps, they will be more inclined to take thought for the safety of - host for whom they are leglelating.4 io irisabery reaber then fares on the pert of our foes thet we are called upon to combat, oJ Intern the aliens and vtupects.Better thet they choutd buffec « lietie discomfort than that vendaliom ané vicienen, destruction ané bicodeheé should res foam te rust Josey and Fran) cosy blinénces ac spotiy.i : / a8 1 STEN 0 ASSIST CAPPLED SOLDIERS MEETING 1 HR.HELD AT MONTREAL TO PROYIDE VOCATIONAL crons.pores Montreal, Feb, 6 \u2014 Steps towards inaugurating a system for the vocational re-education of crippled sel- diers were taken at a meeting of the Military ital Commission of Canada, held turday in the Drummond building, Montreal.I: was decided to sppeint competent vocational instructors for the various convalescent homes where returned soldiers are being cared for.in.this way, it will be posible to determine Just what line of work each man is best fitted to pursue.A definite program to deal with the re-educating of the men after this information is secured will be submitted at the next meeting of the commission.; The meeting, which occupied the whole day, was attended by the following members of the commission\u2019 Hon.Senator Loughead, ahairman; Sir Henry!

deplorable picture of the fire in the \u2018Ottawa House of Commons, the loss of so many valuable lives, was brought home to Quebecers in à striking manner on Saturday evening on the arrival of the C, P.Rtrain which brought the body of Mrs.H.Bray, the Quebec lady who perished in the flames.On the train which carried the remains of the deceased were Hon.A.Sevigny, Mrs, Sevigny and their children, Dr.Dusssult and Mrs.Dussault, Miss Lavery,\u201d Miss Belanger, Miss Tremblay, Mr.H, Bray, husband of the deceased; Mr.Bray.Sr.and Mr.Joseph Sirois, M.P.At Three Rivers the train was met by a number of Quebec friends, who came to Quebec with the party.They fncluded Mr.C.E.Taschereau, Mr.Ed.Tanguay, brother of the deceased; Messrs.Adj.Amyot, George Parent, E.Garneau and others.Thousands of friends and citisens assembled at the station and stood uncovered.as the remains were removed from the train and formed the funeral train which followed the hearse to the residence of victim's mother, Mrs.George Tanguay, on Rampart street.Aè the long cortege filed from the C.P.R.depot, the bells from the Basilica tolled out the funeral dirke announcing the arrival of the body.Speaker Sevigny, who was seen by a Chronicle representative, last night, was still very muct 3ffected over the deaths of Mesdames Bray and Moria, and also deeply concerned about his wife's other guests, Mrs.Dussault, who is still suffering from the effects of the shock imcidentsl to jumping from a height of forty feet into a life net, and also from smoke and exposure as she was clinging to the window from which she jumped.for nearly ten minutes before the net was extended for her ta jump.Mr.Sevigny is of the opinion that the fire was of incendiary, origin.He does not believe that the fiames could have spread so rapidly had they not been aided by some artificial means, He asserted that he had just learned that Mr.E.M.McDonald, M.P., for Picton, and Mr.Clarence )Jamesos, M.P.for Digby, had seen a man running away from the Parliament Buildings just as the fire started.The funeral of Mrs.Bray will he held on Tuesday morning, leaving the residence of Mrs.George Tanguey, ¢ No.2 Rampart street, at nine o'clock for the Basilica where the service will be held.The body of Mrs, Louis Morin, the other victim of the fire, arrived at Levis yesterday via the Intercolonial, and was transferred to Beauce on the

group of Montrealers and in- corpeveted in 1900 hes been steadily increasing in scope, until today its workess are to be found all over Csaada, literally from Coast to Coast, branches having been established at Prince Edward Island, Winnipey, Edmonton and Vancouver, with Working Committees at varions other points.The chief aim of the Guild is to foster and develop all handicrafts, which term covers the wonderful work done by owr grandmothers in their homes, knowledge of which was brought over the ses to the New Land where it re-appears side by side with the skill and knowledge of the Indian, the Fremch-Can- adian peasant, and the other nationalities settling in our midst.The results of this skill and knowledge.| in the forms of woven goods, bas- Metry, carving, metal work, etc, are niaced before the public and s mar- feet found, always on condition that the work is up to the standard re- nuired by the Guild and that the price is not exorbitant.for handwork has te compete in this latter respect with work being turned oùt by the various factories.The standard required applies particularly to colors and designs used, for beautifully colored woollens and linens are always in demand.and, while anilim dyes mav give results pleasing for the minute, the trained eye readily descerns the soft tints of the old-fashioned vegetable dyes which withstand sb well | the wear and tear of time and usage.The Guild depends for fimancing its work principally upon membership fees, (the annual subscription being $1.00), and.while the list of workers is large and the demand for the class of goods handled is steadily increasing.the membership list should be larger.and cover more territory.It is hoped that next year there will appear in this comnection the names of many more of those who are interested in developing native falent and industry, and, at the same time, in helping men and women of our own land to accqwire a broader outlook on the world in general through coming in touch with this truly admirable \u201cMade in Canada\u201d organization-for the primary conditions laid down to intending workers are that the craftsman live in Casada and that the article be handmade.The workers themselves now include men, women and children, and, since the war has temporarily or permanently, incapacitated men who had previously been engaged in active occupations, many of those invalided home have already turned their attention to developing, under the auspices of the Guild, talents hereinfore used only for amusement.At the annual meeting held on January twelfth last.it was reported that there had been an increase vf shout fourteen hundred dollars in the show window was an absolute necessity for the fature success of the work The mew places to which exhibits of the work have been sent the past yess included Chicagonames amongst the exhibitors work.Mrs.Finniss, in the technical report, touched upon the suggestion to be brought before the agricultural

Could Not Play and Rochon Replaced.Him- Score Was 8-5 in Favor of Quebec\u2014Game Was Fast and Interesting\u2014Dave Ritchie Starred\u2014Tommy Smith | Played Fine Game\u2014Wanderers Made Rally in Last Period.For the third time this season the Quebec team put it over the Wanderers.Though for the first time since the Bulldogs became members of the N.H.A.Paddy Moran, their old reliable goaltend, was a \u201ccasualty\u201d and failed to line up with the others, the locals with Rochon of the St.Patricks City leaguers in the net, completely outplayed the Red Bands and won out by eight goals to five, deserving an cven wider margin on the play.Rochon was nervous and fidgety and was inclined to skate out of his net, but on the whole he did fairly well.He stopped some really hard shots but in the third period he had « bad session for a few minutes and allowed two long ones to get by.also erring in judgment when he failed to leave his net quick enough to bat the puck to safety after Odie Cleghora had rushed and the defence men were holding him off.However.it was his baptism of fire in professional hockey and the crowd was pleased with his showing.There is an old saying about good sometimes coming out of evil.or words to that effect, and Saturday night's game gave two examples of its veracity.The first evil was the absence ot Moran.And the good which came of it was the fact that the Quebec team knowing that the old reliable was not behind them played the game of their lives and every man did his best to reduce the shots on Rochon to a minimum.Ritchie Starred.The second evil was Dave Ritchie's misfortune in hatting the puck into the Quebec net for Wanderer's first goal.But.the good which came out of this need hardly be explained t> anyone who was at the game.Dave would no doubt.have played a fine game anyway.hut as it was the fact of giving the Wanderers a goal made him so eager to make up for it that he was a regular whirlwind on the ice.He scored twn of Quebec's goals, checked soundiv on the dey fence and when Wanderers threatened for a time in the third period he broke away and though he had a chance of scoring used good headwork in passing to Marks who made sure of Quebec's victory hy making the count 7-5.This was a critical point in the game hut that goal settled ir.Ritchie was the most brilliant and the fastest man on the ice and he put up the best game he has played 3ince he joined the Quebec team.Smith in Form.Tommy Smith evidently benefitted by the rest up at Ottawa and the Quebec captain was at his best.All his old time craft and trickiness around the goals was with him in targe quantities, while he did a Tot of uscful checking and passing.His tw) goals were the resuit of clever play and he had bard luck in failing to score more.Rusty Crawford was also in form and his dazzling\u2019 rushes brought the crowd to its feet time and again.Joe Malone, as usual, was ali over the ice and ptaved! a beautiful game.However, ne was very selfish at times, a fanlt which is not habitual with him.The defence was good.Hall and Mummery were unbeatable and both were always able to get to the other end whenever they were inclined that way.Ine Hall's bad luck around the net still sticks to him.He twice heat Cleghorn and Stephens but each time Lindsay foiled his efforts to score Jack Marks.\u201cpinch-hitter\u201d extraordinary was there at the proper moment and his share in the victory was an important one.Jack McDon- alt did not play a great length of time but held up his end effectively while he was on.Odie Cleghorn was Star.Odie Cleghorn was the pick of the Wanderers with Harry Hyland a good second.Cleghorn's fast work in the third period almost made Wanderers look like contenders after they were hopelessly beaten.Hyland is pretty near his old time form and was very dangerous.Lindsay played well in goal.Stephens played a \u201cgame and Donald Smith was in flashes.Roberts looked dangerous whenever he got the puck bat Malone saw to it that he got it very seldom.A crowll of about 4,500.including Madatme LeBlanc and Lady Gouin snd Party.T.Emmet Quinn, president of the N.H.A.also witnessed the game which was a most interest.fag one.The hockey was gxceeding- ly fast at times and though the pace was not always sustained the playing of the Quebec team grestly pleased the crowd.The rally by the Wanderers in the third period when they cut down a lead of 63 to 6-5 had the crowd on its feet and vislons of sn- other overtime game and perhaps fe- feat became to form themselves in the minds of more pess'mistic fans.Their anxiety lived but eighitecn rec- cnés as Marka scored on Richie's page and the Red Bands\u2019 light went LJ =.* Thar, $ »

Rochon much to the latter's disgust.President Emmet Quinn states goal scored by Ritchie goes to his credit though against his own team.Quebec had been having all the best of the play and Rusty Crawford tied matters up by banging in the rebound off Joe Malone's shot.Tommy Smith put Quebec ahead seventeen seconds later when he stickhandied his way through all opposition and fooled Lindsay.With two minutes to go in the first period, Ritchie rushed all the way and passed to Smith who made it three to one for Quebec and the teams crossed over with the Bulldogs two ahead.Por ten minutes in the second period the two teams played a ding-dong game during which time Rochon had 1 chance to make a few saves.Dave Ritchie was always in the limelight and the fairhaired boy finally scored a sensational goa! after going from end to end and hurdling his way through the \\Wa:idere?defence.Quebec were outplaying Wanderers but Malone and Smith had hard luck around the net.Wanderer made a rush.Donald Smith passed to Hyland who shot; Rochos saved but Donald was on the job and swip- sd the puck into the net before the goaler could clear.Rochon made his best save of the match from Hyland a few minutes later and got a great cheer from the crowd.Ritchie grabbed the purk and again started off in one of hn speedy runs up the ice.He rushed right through the cenier, drew the defence men together and passed t> Crawford who beat out Lindsay with 4 wicked shot from a few feet out.Joe Hall charged up the full lengtn of the ice and beat everybody bur Lindsay.The period ended 5 to 2.Stephens almost scored slortly after the third period started but { shot wide when he had a good opening.Ritchie went up and took a drive at Lindsay.Cleghorn took the puck off the goaler's pads ard rushed down.He fired a beauty at the Que, bec net which Rochon saved.Ritchie made it 6-2 for Quebec when he sgain went from end to end and caught the twine with a pretty shot.Malone rushed, but would not pass though Smith might have scored had he done so.Quebec had all the best of the play and Wanderers looked t> be all in.Suddenly Hyland let drive a long shot which Rochon failed to connect with and the Red Banas seemed imbued with new vitality, Odie Cleghorn rushed and shot from a little past center ice and again the shot heat Rochon.The score was now only 6-4 for Quebec and things looked serious.A still more serisus aspect was given the situation when Odie Cleghorn again stickhandied his way through and though the puck slid out of his reach.Rochon hesitated too long about going out to meet it and the fast Wanderer man beat him to it and slid the disc into the empty net.This goal is given to Gordie Roberts on the official list, though it seems certain that Cleghorn scored it.Referee Pulford gav: Roherts\u2019 name to the scorer.Jack Marks took Ritchie's pass and placed Quebec two ahead in eighteen seconds and the Wanderers wilted.Refore the period closed Mafone made a fine rush which ended behind the goal.He passed the puck out from behind and though Marks was surrounded by the whole Wanderer team he batted it through, making the final count 8-5.The game ended shortly afterwards.The officials, Pulford and Brennaa were very good.The teams and summary: \u2014 Quebec: Wanderer: Goal.Rochon .Cee .Lindsay Point.H.Mummery .Smaiti Cover Point Ritchie .O.Cleghorn

\"ICE MARATHON.Minneapolis, Minn., Feb.8.\u2014 Joun Karlsen, 41 years old of Minneapolis, established a world\u2019s record for 25 miles at the North Western Amateur Ice Skating Tournament here today, covering the distance in one hour, 30 minutes, 18 seconds.The previous record of 1:91:39 was made by J.P.Donohue, at Stamford, Conn., Jan.26, 1893.The tournament here, which closed today, was sane.tioned by the Western Skating As.sociation and was held out of doors.i For the first time \u2018in his career as a hockey player Paddy Moran is out of the game through an injury.Paddy has been playing a long while but when Paddy started out the season with a team he always played in every game.The boys knew that the old reliable was not keeping vigilant watch in his old post Saturday night and they played the games of their lives.Even Tommy Smith checked back for all he was worth.* 3 »® Rochon will no doubt put up a far better game the next time he goes out.Those who have watched him in the City League know that he is not the nervous kind and he will ses- tle down now that his first night 4n the trenches is over.¢ ss President Emmet Quinn of the N.H.A.was in Quebec and is on the lookout for referees.He was trying to get in touch with Dr.Hamel, the well-known City League offfcial but was unable to do Satupfay night.There is no doubt that ifthe Doctor wished to accept an appointment on the board of professional referees.he would make a most competent and impartial official.He has been connected with amateur hockey for quite a long time and his rulings on the ice have generally been most satisfactory.* 8 The Sons of Ireland and Emmets meet at the Grande Allee Rink this evening.The game will be a hummer.\u201c0e Fancy dress carnival at the Grande Allee Rink tomorrow

League game at the Grande Allee Rink this evening.No game in the Citv League to date lis arovsed such interes as vins fixture, and these is bouat 10 be cue of the Le pust crowds of th: seascn present ty viich developments.The Sons of Ireland have not as yet been defeated, while Emmets have fost two games and have won an cqual number.Both the Emmet defeats have been by but one goal, however, and they are looked upon as contenders for the title._ Emmets displayed god c-mbina- tion in their game against Crescents and but for an unlucky turn they would have won.The Sons (f Ireland are a faster team and are also 2 dangerous scoring bunch.The Emmets on the other hand, are all workers and by consistent backchecking, hope to break up the smoothrunning machine of the Sons.It is likely that both teams will will start out the same fine-up which they used in their last games, though it is reported that the Emmets have a dark horse.John Doyle, the Emmet leader, is confident that his boys will

league fixtures, has become a matter of serious thought for officials and clubs of the city* organization, and if conditions do not improve, it wilt be impossible to secure any qualified candidate to assume the task of handling future games in Quebec.It seems a great pity that a gentleman of Dr.Hamel's calibre should be exposed to such criticism as the past has shown, when it is recognized by all cluhs with one exception that the services tendered by him were of such nature, as to make his withdrawal a serious blow to amateur Hockey in Quebec.On several occasions, Dr.Hamel has refused to act, but was urged through influence brought to Lear to keep the situation.and it must be borne in mind that the Doctor's profession requires most of his time, and that in accepting this thankless task of refereeing games, he done so, simply as an amateur, and to keep the younger generation in clean exercise.for there is no remuneration connected with the office, which renders the criticism all the more unjust.The public are just beginning to become educated to amateur hockey in our city, and if referees are not allowed exercise their duties in a conscientious, straigh-for- ward manner, according to their views it means that it will be difficult to get anyone to act in future.A very important point that must not be overlooked hy cluby.is the fact that a league exists, officéred by the best that can be gathered.That .Lady at hoekey match\u2014\"Who is that number 6?\u201d | ~ Gentleman Friend\u2014\"That's Odie ; Cleghorn.Nice looking chap, isn't, he?\u201d Lady\u2014Oh!

Bowling Congress today mailed letters to prospective entrants, urging prompt attention in the matter of entries which close on Feb.18.The tournament will open on March 3 and continue three weeks.Special dates are being arranged for out-of-town bowlers who are given preference over the local contingent.Toledo will have two hundred teams in the meet and Chicago rules are laid down which are to govern all games\u2014it hecomes the duty of the President 10 nominate all officials and his nomination is final, there fore, we reach the logical cofitlusion that whoever the President chooses to act.he must be accepted by parties interested, it would appear that ail clubs seemed to have been satisfied with past selections, with.per-' haps the exception of one club, and if the outstanding club is not prepared to abide hy the decision of their President whom they elected to office, why, there is only one alternative left.We, however, hope that the league shall continue in harmony and that no breach shall exist at this stage of the game, but the majority sales, and naturally a President cannot allow himself be dictated to, hy one club, which would be detrimental to ail others concerned.Yours for AMATEUR HOCKEY.probably will be next \u2019 WONTIGHS 1, LA CASQUE : QUEBEC CITY LEADERS WERE TOO GOOD FOR LEADERS IN MONTREAL LEAGUE.In a fast, clean and interesting exhibition of hockey at the Arens yesterday afternoon the Montagnais of the local league emerged with a one goal lead over LaCasquette of Montreal, the score being four to three in favor of Letourneau\u2019s men.La Casquettes are leaders in the Montreal Hockey league and put up & fair brand of hockey though their team play is not up to the mark They skated fast and broke away well but the Montagnais defence played a sound game and were beaten very seldom.A crowd of about 600 saw the game and were pleased with the exhibition.It was exciting aft the way through and the score was tied three times.Alphonse Morency was the pick of the Montagnais on the afternoon's play as he wi Je the game all the time and checked splendidly.Saverd also did a great share of back- checking and was also strong on the attack.Desbiens showed classy stickwork but his apparent non-chal- ant way of playing with one Hand offset his clever play.The average hockey fan admires a man who is cool but they like to see the player \u201cwho takes his coat off and plays hockey to win and not for what tie crowd is going to think about him.\u201d Alfred Demers played a fine game in goal and Lachance and Derouin showed up well in front of him.Lachance could not break away very well but Derouin was very effective in rushing.Paul Drouin played for a while but after he had helped in scoring a goal he was injured and could not play any more.Montagnais were without Simard and Angers but played Desbiens instead.Desbiens is a splendid hockey | player, he scored three of the four goals for the winners but if he ever hopes to make good as a player a change in his style on the ice will have to be made.He did no weétk except score goals and he was lucky in getting two on long shots.Billy Young was the star of the visitors and figured in every goal scored by his club.Lepine also played brilliantly and the goalkeeper was\u2019 very good though he allowed a couple of easy ones to pass.Charlie Nolan and Sam Murphy refereed

State Lansing are expected to confer tomorrow on the latest tentative draft of the communication which the German government hopes will bring the negotiations over the Lusitania disaster to a satisfactory termination.Information that the outlook for an early settlement of the case again was promising was received tonight from various diplomatic and official quarters.The President has had the tentative draft before him since Friday night.in it, German officials say, the Berlin Foreign Office has gone as far as it possibly can to meet the position of the United States.From high diplomatic quarters tonight came the statement that Germany believes that the has, with the exception of making an out and cut disavowal of the Lusitania\u2019s \u2018sinking, which she considers impossible, conceded every desire of the, United States.It is also clsimed that the tentative proposal covers all the fundamental issues involved in the conduct of submarine warfare in the North Sea.It is explained that a direct disavowal was given for the sinking of the Arabic, because that act was in violation of the instructions given the commanders of submarines.In the case of the Lusitania, however, the commander acted in accordance with orders.The general instructions not to sink liners without warning were given, it was disclosed tonight by high authority, on the day after the Lusitania went down.It was said that Germany withheld announcemen: of the fact for strategical naval reasons.The position of Berlin officials is said to he that the act of the commander of a submarine can be das- avowed, should he violate, disregard or have failed to receive instructions, but that a government cannot disavow an act which was committed in accordance with its instructions and for which it is responsible.QUEBEC BRANCH: W.M.BANCROPT (Manager of the Bank of Montresl), Manager.GEO.L.DEAN .td SE SS \u2014\u2014\u2014ap - In the latest proposal there is no no attempt to deny

ofYAmericany was without intent.The destruction of the liner was an act of reprisal for the British blockade under the orders in council, according to the German view, and re- Secretary.Nv.lxiaw,mnxiv

and former mayor of St.Gervais, who was a peace advocate but was wounded on the battlefield and died in a German hospital, took the form of a great popular Socialist demonstration.Among the speakers were Marcel Sembat, the French Minjister of Public Works and Emile Vandervelde, Belgian Minister of State.M.Vandervelde called attention to the fact that the speakérs as today's manifestation were the same men who \u2018had before the war demanded that peace he maintained.They united today, he said, to demand war.Their sentiments had not changed, continued the Minister.\u201cThe present war,\u201d he ssid, \u201cinspires them with the same horror and has made them more pacifist than ever.It is at the price of new sacrifices that peace and libesty will be assured.Socialism is opposed to wars

Norfolk on the steamship Hamilton.With Captain Harrison were his officers and crew numbering 150, who probably will be sent to England on the White Star liner Baltic, Captain Harrison said he had no other recourse than to surrender when he discovered the warlike character of the ship which stopped him.When the cruiser was.less than two ship lengths awag, he was ordered to board her with his deck

authorized to call the legislature to ' sit where he saw fit and whenever advisable.Lord Sydenham in 1841 i called the first parliament at Kingston.Naturally the citizens of Lower | Canada objected.They had hoped \"that Quebec would be continued as the capital or, at least, Montreal.Kingston was a relatively unimport- ent place.Upper Canada, however, ' was equally determined that the cap- i ital should be in this section of the ! country.Indeed, it was declared that unless this concession was made there would be no union on the part of Up- | WHY CHILLY WEATHER BRINGS RHEUMATISM SAYS SKIN PORES ARE CLOSED AND URIC ACID REMAINS IN BLOOD.Rlieumatism is no respector of age, sex, color or rank.If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful.Those suk.ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water.Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood.It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blcod and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity.In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this and circulating through the system, uric acid which keeps accumulating eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts: put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week.This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus riddinæ the blood of these impurities.Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes snd lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.Here you have à pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidaeys as well, \"GOTHIC\" ONE OF THE NEW ARROW COLLARS THE FRONT FITS THE CRAVAT 3 foe 25 conte CLUSTT, per Canada with the sister province.Kingston, as the least objectionable place to Lower Canadians was, theres fore, selected.But at the first session of the Kingston parliament a resolution was adopted asking Her Majesty's government to authorize alternate sessions of parliament at Quebec and Toronto, the former capitals.This was proposed to cultivate race friendliness and mutual understanding as well as to save the real estate investments of Mehose who had considered the development of these cities from the standpoint of capitals of the country.But the British parliament refused to take the responsibility of deciding the matter unless parliament pledged itself to provide funds for the erection of government buildings.of the dispute that subsequently arose Mr.Johnston, representing Garleton county, seconded by Mr.Derbishire, member for By-town, moved that the capital be located in the latter place.The motion was negatived by 87 votes to 6.Efforts to vote money to enlarge the Kingston buildings were defeated and the house adjcurned with no decision arrived at.In 1843 the matter came up again.Finally the contest narrowed down to Montreal and Kingston, the executive council presenting 8 report eliminating all other localities as suitable.The coun cil strongly favored Montreal, and that city was eventually selected, the house meeting there for the first time in 1844.For the next four years the Canadian metropolis enjoyed the distinction of being the capital but in 1049 the riots which ensued on the passage of the Rebellion Losses Bill caused the removal of the seat of government, which alternated for the next ten years between Toronto and Quebec.But Bytown never forgot its aspirations to become the capital.LIE I J In 1854 the cost of the removal of the capital from the one city to the other became a serious drawback to both members and legislature.In 1858 the attorney-general advised a permanent seat and suggested Toronto, Quebec, Ottawa, Kingston or Hamilton.Hamilton was eliminated on the first vote in the house, Toronto on the second, Kingston on the third, Montreal of the fourth and Ottawa on the fifth.Quebec won by 64 votes to 56.When the motion to vote money for the new bulldings at Quebec came up the struggle broke out again, Montreal and Ottawa trying to displace the Ancient Capital.But the supply bill carried.Then came the thunderbolt.The legislative council, not having been consulted by the assembly in deciding the location of the capital, cut out the vote for Quebec's new buildings.A new supply bill was then passed, so that Quebec found herself elected as the capital but refused money to erect the necessary buildings.In 1858, all attempts to reach a decision having failed, a resolution was adopted by the assembly asking Queen Victoria to make a se- fection.Petitions setting forth the advantages of Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston and Quebec were prepared by the civic authorities of each of these cities and forwarded to London.In the middle of January, 1858, a communication reached Canada declaring that the Queen had selected Ottawa .* @ But the battle wasn\u2019t over.A resolution was offered in the Assembly asking Her Majesty to reconsider her decision and favor Montreal, Two others were proferred requesting the legislative council to take no steps to provide funds for the proposed buildings.The first resolution carried by a vote of 64 to 50 and the Assembly then adjourned.But at the next session the Ottawa and district members, including the late Sir R.W.Scott, who worked hard and sonsist- ently for final victory, the late W.F.Powell and G.B.L.Fellowes succeeded in getting into the Queen's speech a paragraph declaring that the Queen's wishes should be carried out.The last vote taken on the subject was on an amendment by Mr.Sicotte asking that this paragraph be left out of the speech.The vote stood 59 to 64 in Ottawa's favor.A change of three votes would have spelled defeat.\u2014Ottawa Citizenmts HEAVY BOMBARDMENT OF GERMAN TRENCHES.Paris, Feb.6, via London\u2014French
