It would be Impossible for the companies to pay dividends or even pre-war wages.He declared it to be a vital necessity the bill for grouping working on railways which would mean an immense saving in working.Mr.Thomas scouted the motion that de-control of the railways had, brought about danger of a strike.pointing out that £17,800.060 had already come off the wage bill with.aut provoking the slightest signs of: trouble.- The conference had an acrimon- tons discussion privately concerning the artion of Mr Thomas during the: last twelve mont narticularly his are in calling the triple al-

of che Uniun of South Africa, who has just returned from a visit ¢o Irgland publicly expressed his opinion to-night that the Irish problem is a soluble prob- loin.This atatement was grested .with loud epplause by the distinguished company which sitended a dinner given in honor of Mr.Smuts by the South African colony in | Londonwell.Hmuts opened his speech by declaring that he had not abandoned hope of the United States.\u201cShe is & cop maiden and must not be wooed too warmly,\u201d he said.\u201cWe want tb see the United States pull with ub in this great world service that to-day is being rendered by the British Empire almost alone.\u201d \u2018Thea, ulludicg humorously.to his i visit to Ireland, he declared he found | tie people \u201c\u2018aiviéed Into two classes -\u2014those in :ai.and those on the run\u201d He added that be himseif had been among those on the run seek- jing io escape reporters and camera men.i Tha Irish problem said General Smuts, was one largely engaging \u201cthe whole British Empire.\u201d It was à probiem, however, on which hé not speak\u201d th-sight, except to express the belief that it was soluble, and that if there wah a batter atmosphere.\u201cIf we all help to create a better atmosphere and are determined to wipe out what te really a stain on the Empires record, we shall succeed.\u201cTherefore,\u201d he continued emphatically, \u201cI think I am hopeful, 1 trust that the question will be soiv- ed and that thereby the British Empire will be freed from the Imputation that\u2019 in this ancient part of the United Kingdom there still exists violation of the fundamentai principles upon which the Empire rests.1 say that the problem is soluble because I have seen it solv- od in my own countr, under circume- stances leas embittered than in Ireland, but certainly of a very difficult character, too.\u201cIf ever this problem of the sub- Jection of one people to another presented a hopeless view.it was iu South Africa.But finally, in a spirit of give and take, forbearance and irying to render something to the point of view of the other side, we saived the problem, and to-day South Africa is one of the happiest countries in the Empire.Our forbearance and seif-sacrifios have paid\u2019 us handsome dividends in our national life.\u201d ONLY WANT STARS AND STRIPES IN BIG PARADE Objection Raised To Carrying Any- Other Emblem - On \u2018Saturday New York, July \u20ac&\u2014(By Canadian Preus)-\u2014Objection in certain quarters among the delegates to the Christian Endeavor convention has heen raised againat the carrying of any but United States flags In the Christian Citizenship Parade to be held next Saturday as a feature of the gathering.It is stated that ful 15,000 Endeavorers will line up for the march.The largest foreign delegation is from Canada.Beveral Canadians have already intimated that if any flags are carried they can see no reason for barring the British emblem and consider that it should have as high a place as the flag of the United States, according to this afternoon's Globe.The Christian Endeavor Society has a membership encircling the globe and the convention Is international in character.leaders hope that the flag question can be avoided or settled amicably, the paper declares.DO YOU KNOW That We clean and prepare fish ready for the pan.That all our Fish are

of the Temiscaming and Northern Ontario railroad and east and west of Cochrane, no great conflagration has developed as yet, due solsly to the fact that there has been no wind to apsak of.All reports from the north agree that if a wind springs up before rain comes to ex tinguish the flames no section of the settled part of the North country will be free from the menacs of fire out of control.The Cobalt correspondent wires that all the towns surrounded by bush are greatly alarmed and fear, is expressed that if rain does not come within 48 hours the timbered and wooded districts where fires are already spreading will fall a prey to the flames.It is reported that hundreds of thousands of cords of pulp wood along the line of the T.& N.OR.R.have been consumed, Confirmation of the loss of two lives in the bush fire is still lacking.It i= said that twenty men left their camp for Holland when the fire be came threatening and that only eighteen had arrived.One of the party claims to have seen the two men.seek safety to s dugout.A great number of homes of settlers have been destroyed, particularly those that were surrounded by \u2018old slash.Quite a few rangers are kept in New Ontario by the Ontario Government and precautions have been taken to guard the towns and the timber belts but experience shows that even a large force is helpless when the flames beguin to advance before a stiff wind.\u2018The head office of the T.& N.OR.R.at North Bay sent out mema- zes to all points along their line today asking for facts about the bush | fires and the returns reveal fires on all sides, but most of the reports conclude with: \u201cNo Immediate dan: ger unless the wind rises\u201d.° \u2019 .Conflicting Report A message received by the can] adian Press, signed by the Editor of the Northland Post at Cochrane, dealing with the fire situation In the North country conflict very much with stories from other sources.He states that no lives have been lost as was reported yesterday and that instead of 50,000 cords of pulpwood having been purned.the totat ioss In the whole district from Hearst to the Quebec boundary and South to Matheson Is only 4,000 cords.\u2019 He \"adds that Green timber has scarcely been touched and that the fire in most instances is burning in old slash in a few isolated places he adds, esttlers\u2019 homes have been destroyed.Repeater Today To-morrow will be & \u2018repeater\u2019 according to to-night's weather forecast which means that Ontario's 90 to 100 temperature, wiich prevailed today, will be dack.an Thursday.That will make a solid week of torrid weather such as the Pro-| vince has not experienced since June 1911.The temperatures all over the country today were perhaps & point or two under Tuesday's maximum but the difference was so small that hardly any body noticed it.Toronto's temperature at the hottost period was at 97, just \u201cFair, not much change in te perature\u201d is the weather man's prognostication for to-morrow.The heat wave is having a slowingup effect on business and in many places plants have bsen temporarily closed down.Even the Ontario farmer, the most industrious perhaps of all two-footed animals is turoing.his horses out to He In the shade during the hot part of the day and he! is doing as much work as he can at night.It took several days of heat to convince many team owners of the severity of the heat on thelr horses and a large number of the nilent beasts of burden expired in the harnese.Anyone who can get near water of any volume, from a pool to the Great Lakes is not missing the opportunity judging from the vastness of the crowds at the big resorts.Tens of thousands of neople flock to \u2018Toronto's threa big bathing beaches last night 827 motor cars were cbunted lined up along the boulevard near the watér.There seems to be no falling off in the number of heat prostrations though people are already learning to take precautions.Prayers For Rain Ottawa, July

cent of whatever Germanys paye fifty-five per cent.going to France and the balance to Belgium and taly and the other Allied nations.\u2018The task now confronting the conference is to fix a basis upon which the amount to be collected by the Empire shall be apportioned among its different parts \u2018This, &t is being found, involves no little difficulty.It involves difficulty because a basis that might work advantageously for one Deminjon might prove unfair to another.Thus, for example, if loss of shipping were to be made the basis, the Mother Country, which suffered so heavily in tonnage, would get practically everything end the Dominions practionlly nothing.Capital investment in pensions has heen suggested as a guide, but inasmuch as the pension scales in the various Dominions differ to a considerable degree, as well as the reasons for the payment of pensions, this too, had to be abandoned.The subject was discussed from every poasibie angle to-day, the representatives of all the Dominions making suggestions and each quite naturally advocating their wives.DIED FROM SHOT IN \"© °° RESISTING ARREST Gordon Coutts Of Sherbrooke, Met Death In This Manner, Said Jury Sherbrooke, July 6\u2014That Gordon Coutts died from a gun shot wound received while resting arrest on a charge of shooting Geo.Leciaire was the verdict of the Coroner's! jury, following the inquest held by Coroner Bachand today, as the climax to the shooting affrey two days ago at Beebe.Coutts, it is stated, had shot Leciaire in the neck following an argument and then hid in & barn threatening to shoot any er- con that came near him.A call for help was nent to Bherbrooke and three local officars went to the scene of the shooting.After a long siege Special Constable Bartlett entered the barn and found fering from « weund in the abdomen.He was taken to the Sherbrooke Hospital, where he died.At the time it was stated that Coutts had told the doctors he shot himself, but the brother of the deceased stated that Coutts had confessed to him that he had been shot by the officers.The doctor's evidence also showed that it would have been Impossible for Coutta to inflict the \"| wound which eaused his

French Major Montalieres and four Germans, one a girl, were killed, is asserted in a special despatch from Oppel to the Voagis« che Zeitung.here today, to have been planned deliberately by Polish insurgents who used French rifles.The despatch declares a post mor.tem disclossd that the major was killed by a rifle bullet and that the Germans in Bsuthen pessessed revolvers only.The Poles planned to impede the French and British in their advance to clear out the insur.genta, according to the despatch.Reports from German sources state that the Polish insurgents are resuming their activities in Hindenburg, Biscupits, Gosnowltz and a number of industrial towns.Communication with Beuthen now is cut off.but the last reports received were to the effect that the French used bayonets and clubs to
