Party as constituted and the army.Colonel Ralston of Nova Scots, with an excellent overseas record, Is the most prominent army officer present.but he must look In vain for many as sociates in Howick Hall that he made in France and Flanderstain Calder who is prominent in the Grand Army of Canada had instructions not to commit his organization to any political affiliation.There i» present and evident fear of definiteness and comprehensiveness im political principles and promises which torecasts a platform that will not be embarrassing to any clams, race or section.While so far In the convention there has been concesled \u2018any public antipathy to returning wnion.ists, in some of the gatherings of Provncial representatives where the pirhlic was nov admitted it is Imown chast'sment and reproach have al: ready been meted out to the erring brethren.Libéral\u201d unionists in Parliament knowing this have refrained almost entirely from attendance.Osly J.FP.Johnston.M.P.last mountan of this faction in the Federal Parliaments fs here Such «tal.varts as W.A.Ruchanan Dr.Michael Clark, John Read of Maczenzie and nthers not ricking being rlaced on the peni\u2018net hench.Prominent Liberals Prominent Liberals were well received hy the delegates.np.np.Mackenzie, House Leader of the Liberal Party, had the first opportu- inly to test the sentiment nf the gathering.but the cheers would aot indicate success in his leadership campaign.Nova Seotia and a score from Quebec gave him a heasty reception.Sir Lomer Gouin, easily the most dominant personality here.was enthusastically received as were Premier Murray and Martin.Te Is admitted that Sir Lomer can dictate the leader and the Platform but so far he has not shown his hand.Even with all the prominent Liberals present the great inspiration comes from the memory of the late Chieftain.Some of the delegates fear that the party may depend too much on a memory and forget that she future demands progress.Dr.Beland hinted at this when he exclaimed \u201cThe Leader is Dead Long Live the Liberal Party\u201d Tt was a pathetic scene when Sir | day to reorgarize their party.select | was seconded by Even Cap-| rr | Atlen Aylesworth, moved the resolution dealing with the death of Si Wilfrid Laurier.A life long friend ! and supporter of the late leader he was vsibly affected and unable to deliver the address he intended.It Hon.Rodolphe : Lemieux whose speech was a splen.| dist effort and was the bright spot in a dreary round of mediocre addresses Captain Calder.also held the atten.| tion of the assembly in an appeal for a policy that would give the soldiers à fair chance of a comfortable livelihood.One of the Heroes Premier J.H.Bell.of P.E.I., who recently redeemed that province was one of the Heroes of the Convention.He frankly discussed the causes that contributed to his success It was the soidiers\u2019 vote that made ed in the breaking up of units in | England, some at not receiving furlough in France, and other that the soldiers\u2019 settlement policy was for farmers only.He also declared that Lon were unpopular.He was by his own admission elected a Provincial Premier on Federal! jssues.Hon.A.PF.Turgeon, Saskatchewan, advocated 1 8 brief platform confining it to principles on whch they could agree.He instanced the tariff, high cost of living, lsbor unrest and the franchise Dr Beland declared the Liberals wirnted to share in the Government of the Nation but not when the Government was based on the exploitation of prejudice.It was only in the Provincial caucuses that conflis arose.The manitobs delegution had the livelest session.Premier Norris was made declare his Liberalism before he was placed among the representatives from his Province on the resolutions committee.He is passing through and experience similar to tien.There he was a Unionist be.this course at the Winnipeg Convenfore the convention, a Liberal during the convention\u2019 and a Unionist afterwards.He remained a Unionist until today and will a Liberal during the Convention.In the New Brunswick caucus Premier Foster appears to have dominated as his supporters fill the places on important committees.Saskatchewan disenssed the Tariff amicably hut the views of that Prov.Ince will not coincide with those of the Fastern delegates.Tn the Quebec Caucus the only rift was the clash between L.A.David and Frnest Lapointe, Real Work Begins The real work of the Convention begins tomorrow.The few Liberal Unionists here will be good or get out and few will get out.Those who have come are prepared to swear fealty to party, ieader and platform.Even Provincial Premiers cannot escape from this pledge, The Convention is thoroughly Laurier Liberal There is a continual desire for harmony on the Laurier Liberal terms.The platform will be à camouflage, The policy of the Liberal Party is to mobilize the unrest as a political weapon and escape embarrassing pledges.The Leadership question is still In doubt.Tt will not be definitely fe- cided until the vote on Thursday.Premier Martin still refuses to consent to be a candidate.This gives heart to the Ontario delegates behind Hon.Geo.P Graham and Hon.°F ree] MONTREAL and QUEBEC Flower Phone $838 9 St.John Street him Premier.Some were disappoint., I the non.taxable bonds of the Victory | ALL CONFERENCES ARE ABANDONED BY PRESIDENT WILSON SHELVES LEAGUE OF NATIONS FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.Washington, D.C, August 8.\u2014Con- ferences with Republican and Democratic senators on the League of Nations have definitely been abandoned by the President until the problems of the high cost of living are solved, Secretary Tumulty announced today (The president, Mr.Tumulty said.is goirg to \u201cgive his whole time to the question of the high cost of living.\u201d Members of the President Cabinet went in to conference today with Attorney-General Palmer to receive the report of the special committee appointed last week to tabulate the various suggestions thus far advanced.Demands of the \u2018450,000 railway clerks, freight handlers, express and be increased unless something was done to materially reduce the cost of living were to be considered today at \u2018a conference between Direetor-Gen- eral Hines and J.J Forrester, Grand President of the Brotherhood of i these employees.Similar demands from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Railway Traine men now are before the Director General meantime the 500,000 shop- j mer.over the country are formally voting on whether a strike shall be called to enforce demands made last.Tanuary.Pending the outcome of this strike vote the thousands of shopmen now out on an unauthorized strike were expected by union officials to return to work After his conference with the ! Cabinet officers.Mr.Palmer said the | suggestions considered had to do Ir {rely with new legislation and the en.(forcement of present laws.The question of a free market for wheat | as Œsrussed at some length, but I Mr.Palmer said the suggested re t val of the Food Administration to , control food prices was not seriously | considered.ALLIED FORCES ARE DRIVEN OUT REPULSED AFTER SIXTEEN HOURS\u2019 STREET FIGHTING AT ONEGA.London, August 5\u2014 Allied forces that landed at Onega on the North Russian front attempting to capture it were driven out after thirteen hours fierce fighting in the streets, according to a Bolshevik report received here by wireless today.The Bolshevik statement said the Allied troops embarked under a hurricane of fire from their ships and that the warships steamed northward, One of the Allied vessels, it was reported.was set on fire by the Bolshovik artiliery.Ukranian Red troops have occupied Aleshky, the message adds, The despatch also announces that the Congress of Soviets held at Niznhi Novgorod decided to close all the monasteries and send the monks to work in the rear of the army, WILL RETAIN SUFFRAGE LAW Copenhagen.August 8-\u2014 The new Hungarian Government, according to Budapest despatches received here today is determined to retain unalter.ea the suffrage law introduced by the Karolyi Government and to call elections immediately for the Constituent Assembly which would determine to what degree landed property should be centralized.Until the national assembly is elected the present administration proposes to continue the present order of things so that pro duction may not de disturbed.W.L McKenzie King.The Que: bec delegation does not want Hon, W.8.Fielding but if Sir Lomer Gouin expresses a wish that they support Mr.Fielding they will do so but with bad grace.Hon.G.P.Graham has the support of a part of the Ali | berta delegation and appears strong er than Hon, McKenzie King.A deputation of prominent and representative delegates are awaiting on Hon.W.8.Fielding tonight urging him not to withdraw from the Leadership contest.Hon.Mr.Fielding feels that the Quebec opposition makes his leadership impossible but thedeputation may induce him to remain in the contest.Tomorrow: night will be a caucus of the Liberal members of the House of Commons which may have a considersble influence on the Leadership Contest.QUEBEC, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1919.PROFITEERING IS HARD TO DEFINE BRITISH FOOD CONTROLLER GIVES EVIDENCE BEFORE HOUSE OF COMMONS.London, Aug.8 \u2014 George H.Roberts, the Food Controller, testifying today at the first sitting of the House of Commone as 3 select com- station employees that their wages: mittee to inquire into the hgh cost | of living and profiteering, suid his department had had difficulty in dee finitely definng cases of aMeged pro- : fileering.He added that where per.isons were oearly found guilty o1 ;

V'nder pressure from members of the Senate, President Wilson modestly admits that he settled the Shantung question over which China and the allied powers arc now at loggerheads.Mr.Wilson reports that when the point rame up for discussion neither the British nor French representatives felt themselves competent to act.in view of the fact that these powers had been responsible for the entry of Japan into the war and deemed themselves under certain obligations which might he regarsed by the outside world as capable of influencing their decision in a matter in which the interests of Japan were concerned.So Mr.Wilson stepped into the breach, and brought to bear that hroad statesmanship which had already accomplished so much.He gave Shantung to Japan, but coupled with his decision the condition that Japan should give it back.This Japan declined to formally endorse.hough the Eastern Empire was not unwilling to cousent to the return of this concession at some time in the unnamed future.Today Mr.Wilson, with a wider knowledge than he posses.od when he undertook to act as umpire, is asking Japan to return Shantung to China.(And Japan is naturally unwilling to consent.In fact the very suggestion on the part of Mr.Wilson is creating among the Japanese people a distrust of the United States, à thing casily enough done in the light of relations of the past twenty years.And China on the other hand regards askance the present policy of the President, believing that if he is might now in asking Japan to surrender thin territory he was knowingly in error only a few months ago when he declared ageinst China's intervets.ei ! the help the United States can give.There is every prospect of a large land influential delegation from each | country.the ' SIMONS & CO.| 20 Fabrique Street | HAINES: NL a Equipment of every kind for the outdoor sportsman, to be had at S.J.SHAW & C0, Reg'd, HARDWARE MERCHA \u2018Phone 873.13 ST.JOHN ST.NEW BOOKS The Golf Course Mystery, by Chester n K.Steeleower the Lily, by Orezy.Mr.Standfast, by John Buchan \u2014 (author of \u2018Greenmantie\u201d), Green Valley, by Katharine Reynolds Automobile Repairman's Helper, by S.T.Williams.J.EVOY, Telephone 338, Opposite City Hall.i P.BOOKSELL | mmm # | Phone 778 141 5T.JOHN 3T.| COAL | STUART PETRIE, Wibolesale and ,Betud], 51 St Peter Street, Quebec.! \"Phone 2689.M WE SUPPLY BOTH, ELBCTRICITY : mit and eat wilh Cas Feil SUPPLYING POWER.SIX INDEPENDENT POWER PLANTS.THE BENEFITS OF TAKING OUR DUAL SERVICE\u2014GAS AND ONLY ONE || Quebec Railway, Light, Heat & Power Co.Ltd.AND HAVE UNBFQUALLED FACILITIES FOR (METER READER BiLL PAYMENT MD UNEXCELLED SERVICE Formeriy Donobue\u2019s ' Store el UG Specials 93 pee.DISCOU percent.00.25 per ceut.-.Ce 25 per cent.se wae Georgette Blouses.| smart youthful sty i From.| - 25 per cent, discount off the balance of our Colored Crepe CHILDREN\u2019S DRESSES.\u2014Chiidren's Co) | T.D.DUBUC 188 and 194 St.John Street For The Opening of || e August Sale NT OFF ALL THIS SEASON'S DRESSES: | .BJLK DRESSER 2 2.0 010 0 2 per cent, Lo SERGE DRESRES 0.2 per cent.oo VOILE DRÉSSEE .\u2026.23 per cent.de Chine aud © een vee +++ +++ +.20 per cent.vl Gingham Wash Dresses, in lex; sizes from 2 to 13 years, cer eve eee 2 8L04 up to $4.93 Cee ser sas ew sae tse ees ses see The old reliable remedy for rhen.neuralgia, throat matism.sore and sprains.~ Best Liniment Made .A.K.LAURDRY, EDMONTON, writes ee Midian baltdiog and received what ; e doctor called à d sprained ankle, ap told me I must mot walk ou it for three weeks.I 0 t MINARD'S LINI- ENT and iu siz days I Tiriok leche pese Tit think jt \u2018he tent made.\u201d Rif | Mioerd\u2019s Liniment d always gives aatis- A faction.Por any 8 sche or pain.it gives instant rellef.Minard's Liniment | Co., Limited Yarmouth, «of N3, | City of Quebec.District of Quebee \u20140 CITY OF QUEBEC, CITY HALL.BY-LAW NO.18H.By-law to Amend By-law No.16 and naming Foch Street.(Drawn up in the French Language.)

while foodstuffs which formed an unusually large total fell far below that of manuiac.tures.Basing an estimate for the fu!l year upon the detailed figures of months, and the grand tctal fur the twelfth month, it appears that mana.factures exported amounted in the full year to about $3.250,000,000, while foodstuffs were apparently about $2, $00 000.000 and manufacturing material $1280.000.000

WITNESS SAY THAT THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO FIX CHARGES : New York.Aug.5.~Af an investigation of the high prices of building materials, held here by the joint legislative conwnittee on housing, the majority of witnesses, local dealers in lumber and cement, testified that thers was not attempt to fix prices, but that news of prices was quickly conveyed and they all charged the same for their commodities.According to Everett L.Banard, vice-president of the Church E.Gates Company, dtalers in lumiber, the high cost of materiels and the scarcity of Jumber are accountable for the general lack of buildng.Lumber which before the war cost $26 is now selling for $00 per 1000 feet.The difficulty iu financing projects which are likely to be tied up by labor troubles is the main handicap in carrying out a building program, he explained.Ome reason for the high cost of lumber is the fact that the mill hands in\u2019 the South used to work for $1 a day, every day, and now they work only à few days for $2 and $3 per day, and there are not many available at any price.Mr.Banard admitted that this did not account for the 300 per cent in- cresse in the cost of Jumber, but said that the increase is due ship to the fact that the mills are old and puttng on an enosmous price because they can get it.The only remedy he could offer was organization of the retailers, who could probably do something to lower prices.Willkm K.Hammond, a brick manutfacturer, said there was no combination of dealers but that they had a way of ascertaining costs.He said the standardization of prices began under the war boads.Brick which sold at $5.00 tn $5.78 per thousand in 1914 is now bringing $15.PORTUGUESE PRESIDENCY.Lisbon, August 8\u2014M.Teixeir Gomez, former Portuguese Minister to Great Britain

been drawn upon but many of the creatures figuring in a menagerie have been freely utilized Then there are the vessels named after the public schools and institutions of England.such as Uppingham,

Public ownership of the land, natural resources and public utilities of Pulestine, with a cooperative economic organization, js proposed in the Pitts- | burgh program, which has ben accepted by the New England regional conference and other Zionist groups as a basis for the organization of she Zionist state.The program will be presented at the coming Zionist convention iu Chicago for final action.\u2018The Poalei Zion is expected to favor the plan strongly, The full text of the program follows: \u201cln 1887 the first Zionist Congress at Base] defined the object of Zionism to be \u2018The establishmen tof a publicly recognized and legally secured homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine.The recent declarations of Great Britain, France, Italy, and others of th: allied democratic states have established this public recoga- tion of the Jewish national home as an international a:t.\u201cTherefore we desire to affirm anew the principles which have guided the Zionist movement since its inception and which were the foundation of the ancient Jewish state of the living Jewish law enbodied in the traditions of 2000 years of exile.\u201c1.We declare for political and sex, or faith, of ell the inhabitants of the land.\u201c8.To insure in the Jewish national home in Palestine equality, of opportunity, we favor a policy whch, with due regard to existing rights, shall tend to establish the ownership and control by the whole people, of the land, of a} natural resources sad of all public utilities.\u201c8, All land, owned or controlled hy the whole people, should be leased on such conditions ss will insure the fullest opportunity for development and continuity of possession.\u201c4.The cooperative principle should be applied so far as feasible in the organization of alt agricultural, industrial, commercial, and financial undertakings.\u201c5.The system of free public 1m struction which is to be established should embrace ali gradew and do partments of education.\u201c6.Hebrew, the national language of the Jewish people, shall be he medium of public instruction.\u201d According to Dr.M.M.Eich'er of the local Zionist organization, the aim of the Zionists in indorsing the program, which was unanimously accepted Im Boston, is to prevent the growth of à éondition which exists 'n almost every country today\u2014the ownership of practically all

States ping Board will build vessels 1,000 feet long, and the United States Navy» has contracted for two battleships.the Massachusetts and the Iowa which will be 106 feet wide, so that the capacity of the locks has been fully reached as regards length and within four feet as regards width.Rear Admiral D.W.Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Construction of the navy, who also assisted in designing the vessels for the Shipping Board, stated that the limit probably had not been reached in size of commercial ships, but that the navy would not build pattleships so large they could not to be handled through the Panama Canal, as it was built to enable the fleet to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans without having to circle South America.It is probably that the length of the Shipping Board's vessels will be fixed sufficiently under 1,000 feet asssure WEDNESDAY, AUGUST §, 1919.THE ROYAL BANK GF CANADA Incorporated 1869 Sir Berbert Hoult, President; E.L.Pease, Vice-President and Managing/Diveotor ; C.E.Neill, General Managor.CAPITAL and RESERVES over.$ 32,000,000 Export trade hailed with efficiencysthrough our Brancheg in Foreign Countries, Highest, Rates of Interest Paid on Deposits.BRANCHES in QUEBEC: 110 St.Peter strest, 2 Fabrique street, 187 St.Joseph street, 2175t.John wireet, 781 St.Valier street, and Limotlon.SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES at the following Branches: 110 St.Peter street, 2 Fabrique street, 217 St.John street.and Limoi 1anr;wodxel.Burglary Insurance YOUR POLICIES cover all Losses of Money and Valuables, as well as Damage to Premises caused by the operation > of Burgiars, Thieves and Vandals.THE COST IS SMALL, BUT THE PROTECTION IS GREAT.GC.& W.CHAMPION \"Phones 75-256.General Insurance Agents, 67 ST.PETER STREET QUEBEC CLEA \u2019 CONCHAT.PANETALA# PERITANOS > = , BREA) i 2.las ¢ 20% S TRAIGAT CLU 25 SA CH BEST DAVANA ON THEMARKET \u2018 ON Jus OM SALE AT ALL OUR JOS COTE, Ltd.Mp OoRTER ¢ A 1 TE CT a CITE 1 their passage through the canal.Only a few feet need de deducted to permit the closing of the lock gates.The new battleships will be 684 feet tong, which leaves ample lengthwise room in the locks, but there will be only two feet on each side with their width of 108 feet.Shipipng men expect the construction of vessels longer than 1.000 feet regardless of the size of the Panama !

New York, Aug.5\u2014The tectmical position of the market has greatly changed in the lsat two days and should be vastly improved, but opinions are more mixed than ever, labor demands are so radical this time that it would seem they must fail to get public opinion to back them.On the other hand, present administration has nevee said no to the_unjons gud there ls danger they may not thie time, With the labor siiuation settled on anything like a fair besis, the maskot should be à good purchase and many brokers think the worst over now, still it is true there are lots of others who think they should be sold on al) railice.Seles: Stoclms, 1,634,200; Bonds, $11,800,000.(By McDugall & Cowans) to spread appreciably brought some feeling of reassurance ugainst immediate danger to industry and induced a good desl of short covering.After 8 o'clock the market sold off again such weakness developed as ruled all day Monday.Another attempt to depress the list was made shortly before the close.It did not make much headway although here and there tiie days gain was seriously reduced or even wiped out.Prices shaded off a little in the last few minutes.On siderable power of resistance, no doubt due more to the large short interest stfll outstanding than to fresh buying power.Sales 1,934,200, (By Bruneau & Dupuis) We have had a day of very large fluctuations acd without material changes.This is analyzed in two that there was no further drastic decline, and by the reactionary element with surprise that tnere has not been mure of a tally, as undoubtedly there has been quite a little support put in the marke: to prevent a wide open breaks.It has been a critical day and broadly speaking, the tnarket has onme through fairly well but we consider it a result that is negative, The news has been unchanged with nothing fresh, either good or bad and conditions are just what they were befrre.We see no improvement and until we do, we are not ginog to turn in our attitude.We think the market will seek a lowrr tion of m'ghty and most montentous after war problems, which, apparently up to now the market has seen fit to entirely disregard.We don't think people will have the blind infatuation for buying stocks and buying anything again for some time to come and we believe in selling on my good rallies.Total Sales, 1.291.900.AdOHONOONOOGUOS 9 Ÿ COTTON MARKETS: a TOOOOODEOOGQUONA0 New York, Aue.5\u2014 Futures closed very steady.Closing b'ds: October, 81.4; December, 31.53c: January.81.63; March, 31.6%.Spot closed quiet.M\u201c&Hing wplamis, 3,200, Liverpool \u2014 Cotton.spot quiet.Price seasier.fair, 22.224; good midYng, 20.404: fly m'ddng, 20.301; middling, 19.70d; low middling.18.044: good ordinary, 16.38d: ordinary, 15.86d, The sales of the day were 3.000 bales including 2.700 Americanwere 20,000 bales, American.Receipts ime'nding 18.700 Futures closed irregular.OHSOORSO0ONGNONO 4 : THE TORONTO 8 : PRODUCE MARKET 4 , a GROAGOGOCHCOGANGHE Toronto, Ont., August 5\u2014Cash grain gustations on the Board nf Trade here today were: Manitoba wheat in store Fon Williemn, No.1 Northern $2.24 1-2} No.2 $3.21 1.3; No.3 $3.17 1-2; No.4 wheat $2.11.Manitoha oats, in store Fort William, No.3 Canada Western $1.33 rejected $1.91; feed $1.81.American corn, No.3 yellow, somioal; No.¢ yellow, nominal.Ontario oats according to freights outside, No.¥ white 84 to 87.Ontario wheat f.0.b.shipping points, according to {reights nomi.nel.Barley, according to freighte.outside, malting $1.07 to $1.31.Buckwheat, according to treights Telephone 185-186 Molson & Robin, members of the New York, N.Y., Aug.8\u2014Fail- | ure of the railroad strike at Chicago £ especially in some of the rails but na\u2018 the whole the market showed a con.\u2019 ways, by the bulls as encouraging in level as we are up against the solu- American middlings, | 1-3; No.4 Canada Western 1.27 1-3; | estate GEO.IL.BRANCHES CALGARY THE COMPETENT TRUSTEE INC fodividgal, however ary for the uninterrupted management The Royal Trust Com; pany possesses all the ei.inegrity, business ud as assured existence The appointment of The Royal Trust your will enables you to make calculations indefinitely, The if your will is already ma THE ROYAL TRUST COMPANY that inved exi an estate.essential qualifications of a com; t and executive ability ap soel beneficiar y as Executor and Trustee under on complete protection of appolatment an b made by à codci well equipped, en} generations Com Quebec Advisory Board SIR GEORGE GARNEAU JOSEPH PICARD GEORGE H.THOMSON W.M.BANCROr I \\ Quebec Branch: 58 St.Paul Street DEAN, Manager RENE C.de LERY, Secretury EXECUTORS AND TRUSTEES BRANCHES TORONTO * HAMILTUN 1 HEAD OFFICE : MONTREAL OTTAWA | HALIFAX ST.JOHNS, NPLO .Pr .sre cmus SE n\u2014\u2014 - ere 1 MONTREAL EXCHANGE A a UMBRO AANNON (By Breen & Qourdesu.)
