it is just that time since the Canadian delegates in London, by drafting the British Novelli American Act and obtaining Me approval by Parlement \u2018and the Queen, laid the foundation of modern Camede.The garts of Canada neartèt Algeka were not at ance-re-.ceived \u201cinto federation.But je: five yyaes the Nodfiwiac was tak\u2019 over $m the Hudson Bay Company and Manitoba carved from its and Britigh \\ofwmbja bad\u2019 joined.the East;

MAJOR J.A.SCOTT WRNT OVERSEAS WITH COL.WM.PRICE'S BATTALION, His many friends in this city will be grieved to learn that Major J.A.Scott, who went overseas with the 171st Batiq'on, Col.Sir Wm.Price's battalion, was wounded in the recent fighting in France.News to this effect has just been: received in town, but no details as to his injuries are available.Major Scott, who was connected with the Anglo-Canadian Leather Company, St.Valier street, before enlisting in the 171st \u2018Battalion, was well known in Quebec.He was prominently identified with the\u2018 old Q.0.C.H.When Sir William Price decided to raise a battalion, Major Scott lent valuable aid in recruiting for that unit, with which he went overseas.On reaching England, the 1714t battalion was broken up into drafts.The fact that \u2018this Quebec officer was over age did nof phase him.He crossed over to France with a railway construction battalion.This, however, did not seem to satisfy him.He wanted to see real active service and succeeded in getting transferred to the 87th Battalion, which unit was organized in Montreal under Col.Meighen- A number of Quebec boys had been recruited into it, including Lieut.Cecil Thompson, Lieut.Wallace, late Lieut.Williams, late L'eut.H.H.Scott and others.ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE ~ SBE MRS.VERNON TASTLE Greatest Picture Ever Ofered to the .Quebec Public at the Classic Today.All

problem resoives itsel! into a balance of improbabili:ies, It is im.rrobable that such wonderful plays should have been wrftten at alt.Butwritten they were, and as far as \u2018heir imiperishable qualities are eoncernçü they are the work of a single author vhose literary activity lay belwe:n \u2014roughly\u20141585 and 1815.There art difficulties in the way of accepting William Shakespeare zs this author.and Sir George Greenwood has stat.d these difficulties as clearly and forcibly as they are ever rke ve sta: ed.But they are not ins cutable, and when other theores of tir, authorship are as keenly scrutinize-l ihey are found to present vqual or even greater difficulties, Thus, even on the negative side the Shakespearean thee ory appears the least improbable.Ru: it is also supported by the only definite and positive contemporary ew- dence that exists, and by the nnanine- ous tradition of more than tw) hun.dared years, The final conclusion, then, appears to be that, while Sir Geurge Green wood has justly criticized some biographers of Shakespeare and :heir MPNED x 4 3 Should be in every kitchen.Its use assures.complete satisfaction in baking cakes, biscuits and pastry.YOUR GROCER
