[" .Weather Forecast: Mostly Fair: WILL BE BEST - WE EVER HAD Optimistic Prediction By: A C.P.R.Official Regarding Western General Crops (Gpsecial to The Chronicle).Winnipeg, Man.July 31\u2014\"As sarly as can bs judged on the first of August I should say that between the Lakes and the Cosst the crop, cereal, fruit and vegetables will be one of the best we have over had\u201d.That is the opinion of Mr.Grant- Hall, Vice-President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who arrived in Winnipez Saturday night after spending the day ae the guest of the management of the Brandon exhibition.Mr.Hall has been in the Western Provinces all of the past three weeks and has travelled most- 1y in daylight making a closs inspection of the railway as well as getting a personal opinion of the crop conditions \u201cBritish Columbia is suffering from drought\u2019 said dr.Hall, \u201cbut apparently It has not shortened the crop to any considerable degrée ex- capt possibly the apples In some districts.Right around Summerland is where they have suffered but in the Penticton and Kelowna districts they are well up to the average and the same is true of the Vernon diatrict.\u201cOn the Prairies I think we have every \u2018reason to be hopeful.Along the main tine of the Canadian Paclfie, south to the International boundary and for 176 miles north of the main line, the grain crop is better than for several years.Of course there are districts where it ie short, but even In those districts ths holds are of good length and well filled showing that the early moisture was sufficient to carry it through.The saw fly is making some progress and just what it may do yet Is somewhat problematical\u201d.To the oft repented question of whether the Canadian Paeific will be in a position-to handle all the business offered during the fall rush of both grain and coal Mr.Hall said the only answer to that is that his Company has never yet gone into the fall rush with the expectation of failing down in the pinches and therefore it did not think it would be wise to anticipate any such action this year.Asked as to possibility of.a strike of «h nen.Mr.Tiall declined to ex- prese Any opinion saying the whole matter has now taken on & judicial .sone on bourd has \"called for and granted and he sei nm care to discuss it from any angle.Mi.lal was accompanied through the West as far as the coast by Charles Murphy.General Mantrer of Western lines and on the ve:urn trip by 1), C.Coleman, Vice- President of \u201cWestern lines.He will seturn East on Tuesday.PENTATIVE SUGGESTIONS TO PREVENT SMUGGLINO London, July 31\u2014Premier Lloyd George told the House of Commons this afternoon the British Government was considering certain tentative suggestions made by the United Htates Government with a view to prevent the smuggling of spirituous liquors Into the United states.Among these suggestions, said Mr.Lloyd ¢isorge.was a proposal that the United States and British Government enter into à reciprocal arrangement whereby the authorities of each Government would de empowered to search vessels outside of territorial waters up to a distance of twelve miles from shore.The Weather.Toronto.July 31\u2014Pressure is low- eat over Newfoundland and relatively high over the central portion of the continent.Showers are reported from a few scatiered places In the

Oooupation Of Constantinople London, July 31\u2014Prime Minister Lioyd George replying to questions in the House of Commons this afternoon said that on same day the Greet Government proposed the occupation of Constantinople by Greek troops the British Government warned the Greek Government of the serious consequences of such tet.In reply to this warning he sald, the Greek Foreign Minister had given positive assurance that there was no cause for alarm and that the Greek forces, under no circumstances would enter the neutral sone without Allied consent.After a diplomatic exchange of views à complete accord, it was ofti- clally stated that todey has been reached between Great Britain and France as to the measire of resistance to be used in what is regarded as the remote possibility of allied steps being necessary to preserve the neutrality of Constantinopie\u2019.The opimion expressed in Down- Ing Street is that & military demand by the Greeks against Constantinople is in the highest degree improbable.\u2018The whole question of the Greco- Turkish conflict Is likely to form a subject of discussion between Prime Minister Lloyd George and Premier Poincare of France on the occas- sion of the latter's visit to Londonthe date of which is still indefinite The second or third week of August Is regarded as the earliest for the opening of the conversation.Turkish Note.Constantinople, July 31 \u2014 The Turkish minister of Foreign Affairs sent a note today to the Allied High Commissioners hers, setting forth the Greek .concentration on the Thrace frontier, giving the numbers of the regiments in the movement and declaring that five train loads of troops have left Adrianople for Tehortu and Tcharkemheir.The troops already concentrated are estimated at 30,000 by the Minister.The note expréases the hope that the Allies will take ail measures to prevent a violation of the neutrality of Constantinople proclaimed by the Great Powers.CONVENTION OF

Police Court quashing the motion of Captain J.E.C.Eliott, Barrister, to have a liquor case dismissed on the grounds that the warrant for the prisoners arrested did not contein the stamps necessary on legal documents, The case is that of Quebec Liquor Commission vs.George Ma- Jette, 50, Fontaine Street, Hull, who was charged with selling liquor without a license.Trial was fixed for August 3.The court ruled that the Quebec Liquor Commission represented the sate and was in effect the sate The act empowering the commis sion to operate slated specifically in several sections that the goods of the commission were the property of of the Province and that the moneys collected by the Commission were to be turned over to the treasury of the Province.What were the mamps?The stamps represented the amount that the Provinos had the right to collect on certain legal proceedings.This applied to outside individuals having dealings with the state but it did not mean that the state was to collect a tax from itself.That was simply a matter of bookkeeping or If a tax were collected it would mean practically that the state took money out of one pocket and placed it in another.Magistrate Millar cited authority for his opinion in a case that had recently come up in the court of appeals at Montreal, in which the crown had decided that stamps were not necessary.He ruled that therefore that the sate did not need to put stamps on its legal documents In the prosecution of Its work.EXPLOSION OF HUGE GA3 TANK Injured Many Persons And Set Fire To Dozen Houses \u2014Fumes Filled Wide Area Chicago,

31\u2014Passen- Canada Steamship Company's Rapid Prince which went aground at the foot of the Lachine Rapids Sunday evening are being steadily removed from the vessel to Heron Istand, from where they are being brought to the city in small craft.Of the 450 persona aboard over à hundrèd had been removed by noon, the work being slow because of the limited capacity of the lifeboats being used to make the transfer.Indians from the Caughnawaga Reserve'are assisting in the work.Officers of the Rapid Prince were very reticent this morn when asked about the circumstances of the accident.All were unanimous, however, in declaring that it was caused by the breaking of one of the rudder chains.Early this morning substantial breakfasts wers taken out to the marooned passengers who passed a comfortable night A sea sled of the Vickers Ltd., was sent to the scene as well as a number of passengers to aid in the removal of the passengers.While the tendency among the rescued passengers 8 to minimise the emotions and excitement of the accident, they admit they had the \u201cFright of their lives.\" \u201cWe are well cared for and everything possible was done to make us comfortable,\u201d said Mrs.F.A.Pat son, of Toronto, \u201cbut we w terribly frightened, and it was a moat exciting time.\u201d \u201cIt is wonderful to feel the grass under ones feet again.\" another lady ejaculated as sh: epped from the lifeboat to Hero sland.According to an eye-witness who saw the accident from the Island the, Rapid Prince was coming down the river at five minutes to seven.Just as she was passing the end of the d she seemed to stagger as if she had struck something, salling completely round obviously out of control and ended her career high- up on the rocks, lying almost broadside to the stream.Major W.H.Cooper, G-8.M., of Toronto, Who was also & passenger said: \"The excitement at the time was intense.Men, women and\u2019 children scrambled for lifeboats.ana I am sorry to say there were several young men in the crowd who made for them first.We did not know what had happened.I! saw (wo men swoon, and many of the children began to cry.When things had quieted down, some one began to play the piano and some danced.\u201d The Rapid Prince was stil] fast at an early hour this morning.Offied maintain that she is in no danger.Shortly after five o'clock this morning.a reilef ship was despatched to her with a cargo of breakfas:s which were served to the p germ when they awoke.The latter, despite the fact that the how of the Rapid Prince is inclined sharply upwards while the angry waters of the Lachine Rapids swirl about her! stern.are reporied to have spent a fairly\u2019 comfortable night.Officials of the Company declare that there was absolutely no panic,

growing in Washington that the United States is faced by another great political upheaval in consequence of the new tariff measure such as the one that fol- Inwed the enactmemt of the Payno- Aldrich law in 1900.Talk of such an upheaval might he dismissed me ill-considered and inconsequental JC it came from democrats alone but zuch is not the case.Hardly a day has passed recently in the tariff debate in the Senate without mome republican of prominence sounding a warning (hat the republican party by reason of the excemive rates of duly in the Fordney-McCumber hill ls rteering for the rocks.Republican Senators such as Tenroot.Kellogg.and even Wadsworth-\u2014a conservative repuh- {iran from New York\u2014as well as others.have given warning of this character io the high tarift leaders.Tt will he recalled that K was In 190%, thirieen yeara ago, that the last high variff law was passed In the United States.This was the Peyne- Aldrich law.Tta paseage was effected by the high tariff leaders in Congress wha drove ft through re.gardiess of the protests of many republicans, such az Dolliver.La Follette.Knute Nelson and others.Ita passage was followed by the election of a democratic House in 1910, and two years later by the democrats capturing the presidency and wirtu- Ally gaining control of the government.The democrats then passed the Underwond-Simmons tariff bill.A moderate tariff measure.which has recently heen put on agricuitu.ral products.In this connection, it may be sald that the collections of revenue by the government from tariff duties in the fizcal year just closed were the highest on record, showing that the eristing tariff law isa long way from being & free trade measure.In fact, ! it Ke protective and Is sufficiently ' protective in the minds of

before the November elections but It looks now se it it would be enacted into law either this fall or early next winter.Buoh enactment will come at a time when the public is complaining of high taxes.of the cost of living, and , nf unemployment.Ohviously, the United States publie la nat in a frame of mind to accept mildly in- creanes in the prices of necessities and if these follow on the

Quebeo Bridge And Drydook\u2014Re- ception At Spencer Wood The firet Provincial Convention of the Retail Merchants Association of Canada, Quebec Division, opened in the Ancient Capital yesterday, and the delegates spent & busy day from the time they registered and listened to the addresses of welcome delivered by Mayor Samson, and Mr.Jos.Savard, president of the Quebec branch, up to the time that tha elaborate banquet at the Kent House came to an end last evening.The banquet, at which some hundred and sixty sat down, among whom were a goodly sprinkling of the members of the fair sex, was held in the ball-room, which wes tastefully decorated for ¢he occasion.During the course of the repas an orchestra rendered appropriate selections, and there was a hum of conversation while the banquet lasted, right up to the time that the toasts commenced, that was suffi- clent proof in Reelf to show that all were having a good time.After full justice had been done to the meal Mr.Jos.B.Savard, president of the Quebec branch of the Association, proposed the toast to the King, which was honored, together with the singing of God Save the King.The toast to Canada was proposed by the same gentleman, who dwelt on the peace and harmony that reigned in the country, stating that it was entirely due to the stbmis- sion of the people to the laws of the country.The people of Canada hed a fine country, sald Mr.Savard and were proud of it.He then called upon Mr.H.E.Lavigueur, M'P., to respond ¢o the toast.The latter dignitary, in the course of an eloquent apeech, paid e big tribute to the city of Quebec, which he said was the ciy par excellence to hold conventions in, and then ulogized Hon.Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Marine and Fisheries.The toast to the Province of Quebec wat proposed by Mr.N.E.Papillon, who in the course of & epeech that was noticeable for ita briefness stated that the retail) merchants had reselved to concentrate their efforts on all working for he benefit of the Province, in order to place of the Province of Quebec on the road to.prosperity.Hon.L.A.Taschereau, Prime Minister of the Province of Quebec, responded to the toast, and after thanking his eudience for the extremely warm reception, eaid that his first words were not to de words | of praise, but rather words of re- nronch at the ladies being placed «o far away from the table of honor.Premier Taschereau.The Premier, in discussing Quebec said that the health of Quebec was, good, and vigorous.Quebec had, the best heaith of any of her sisters.of Confederation.| This was due to the moderation of its people and al-| so to the marvellous bonne entente that existed and which presented a model not only for the other provinces of Confederation but also tu all the countries in the world.Might the health of the Province remain in the state it is at present, or grow even better, remarked Premier Taschereau, who stated, however, thet the Province of Quebec could not grow or expand if she lost her ancient traditions.It was necessary to preserve all the traditions lefe by the ancestors of the inhabitants of the Province, which permitted the people to view the future.The Province of Quebec must develop its natural resources as quickly as possible, educate its people.and perform good financing.The finest resource in the Province was water power.Thers was ten million horse power in the I'rovince of Quebec that could he developed, whereas today only cight per cent was actual develgped.With what is passing In the Unitod States at the present time, such as the railway and mine strike and other things, the speaker asked If the hour had not arrived for Quebec : to develop all ita natural resource: 90 a8 to be able to say to the United States \u2018Keep your coal and your raliroads.We can do without them.\u201d .In the &t.Maurice Vniley the Government had built a dem that creat- cé an artificial lake.In Two Mountains a big dem had been conetruct- ed, which had /created a big lake, almost as big as Lake St.John, with a wall forty five feet high.During the dry season last year the water in this lake hed only dropped threes feet, while it took three years for! the lake ta fill up.Only last week work had been started on another big dam at Lake Kenogami.Premier Taschereau said that Montreal and Quebeo could circulate all the trains needed, both passenger and freight, with ten thousand horse power, which was insignificant in Quebec.He hoped that the day was not far distant when a band of engineers would be the medium of having all the houres in Quebec heated hy electricity.The Premier then spoke of the good roads program of the Province of Quebec, saying that the Province, the pioneer of «he goo4 roads movement, now had four thoueand miles of good roads, which had caused an expenditure of $30,000,800.This attracted strangers, and there was ho limit to the millions they would leave in thee Province of Quebec.How many Americans and friends from eister Provinces were there who exclaimed \u201cQuebec is the sane Provines.* .RETAIL MERCHANTS OPENED , were proud to talk French.HERE YESTERDAY Meeting Started In Morning The Liquor law.Hon.Mr.Taschereau thea touch- sé upon the liquor law.saying that low sa still in the experimental stage.The year had closed with a surplus of $4,000,000 which had been turned over to the Treasurer.The Government was ready to throw away the four mililon dollars derived from alcohol.During she first year $15,000,000 of alcohol had been sold to a population ox 2,600,000.This averaged six dollarp per head per year, or tity cents per month, or 1 1-3 cents per day.All the alcohol sold did not go to Quebecers.There were Americans who came to see Quebec and this brougie down the average of alcohol in the Province of Quebec for its citizens to a cent a dey per head.In the region of Quebec there was a population of 800,000 to which was sold alcohol to the extent of $2,800,000.In Three Rivers, a town of 23,000 there was on an average one arrest for drunkenness per day, while in Quebec, the population of which was not agreed upon by Mayor Samson and the speaker, there were 76 arrests for drunkenness in June and 62 in July.It was rare that anybody was embarrassed with thelr money, said the Premier, who stated that the four million dollars from alcohol, the floating debt of the Province $61,000,000 would be reduced.The Province of Quebec was the least taxed province In the Dominion sasd the speaker, while the good roads construction program would attract the attention of the whole of Canada The Government will spend $70,000- 000 on roads this year.They had given a quarter million to the classic colleges in the = province, as well as another $260,000, for tuberculosis, while in a fow days an institute for radium would be established in Montreal to combat ! cancer.In addition to this the Government had given a quarter million to the farmers to buy seed with, owing to the failure of the crops last year, and had given ali the seed necresary so as to be assured of à good crop this year.\u2018The Premier touched upon the census taken recently, by which he claimed thet Quebec suffered, and said that if Montreal and Quebec had not received justice from the Federal authorities it was only right for this Province to receive its just and due share of proportion.In conclusion Hon.Mr.Taschereau said that he had figured that the Bankruptcy Act had been disastrous in its effects ever since it had been in force, and claimed that it would be good for the merchants sasociation to urge a repeal of the act, as under the present law they did not know with whom they did business.Since the law had been in force there were 100 per cent more failures in the Province of Quebec than in other provinces.Mayor Samson, The toast to the City of Quebec was then proposed by Mr.J.C.Giguere In 2 few select words, and waa responded to by Mayor Samson who said that Quebec was known as the city par excellence, and that visitors came from far-eway countries to admire ie magnificent sceneries, its quaint old houses.which were relics of the glorious past, but that very few among them knew that Quebec was rapldly developing its trade and commerce and the enterprising spirit of its citizens was excellent.But that they know that, aince 1823, when the City Charter was signed by Queen Victoria, the Clty of Quebec had considerably expand- od its limits and that ite population had since then more than (rebled ?The last Municipal Census gave Quebec a population of over 110,000 souls, besides its floating population.Among them, more than 100,000 were of French descent and They always maintained the most cordial ententè with their English-speaking fellow-citisens and all of them, French and English, Catholies and Protestants, united their vommon ef- torts towards the progress of their olty and of all parts of their beloved Canada.(.It waa partly due to the wonderful activity of all the representatives of Trade and Commerce if Quebec wan now in hopes of regaining once more the prominent place which it held before.With the financial assie- tance of the Government, Quebec's Harbor would once more regain it» Importance and prosperity would come back to us through the railways, said the speaker.The Great War has strengthened the ties which united all parts of Canada and we will fight together for the defence of our rights and for the success of our commercial and induetrial enterprises.My last word will be to tell yon that, faithtul to their Provincial Motto, the Citisens of Quebec will «y of you: \u201cI Remember!\u201d Then came the toast to the Retail Merchants Association, which were proposed in sloquent speeches by Mooure.N.Shink end Strong, and responded to hy Mr.Sansregret, the toast to the Press, and that to the fadies, and the banquet came to à close, the delegates wending their way home by special train or by automobile, to rest until this

sanisations mentioned above should appoint representatives (0 a subcommittees vested with full power common interests.Blatistics, prepared by the mining, metallurgical and chemical branch of the Dominton Bureau of Statistics were laid before ¢he meeting which showed that any possible shortage would be confined to Ontario, Quebee and part of Manitoba, since the other Provinces supplied themselves with bituminous coal.In 1921, Nova Scotia produced, in addition to that consumed whh- in the Province, 3,100,000 tons of bituminous coal; Alberts, 1,700,000 tons of bituminous and kgnke; Britteh Columbia, 1,100,000 tons bituminous, Of this surplus approximately 6,000,000 tons, two millions were exported and three milllon consumed in Canada.Accurding to the statement, Ontario will require before the end of the year, in addition to supplies de- Hvered up to the present, from nine to tem miliona of bituminous coal end two million tone of anthracite.Similarly Quebec will require two and one half million tons of bituminous and one million of enthre- cite.It is expected that Nova Scotia wifl supply one and and one halt milion tons of bituminous coal to Quebec before the close

Chairmanship of the oyal Commission which Is to investigate the charges by the G.W.V.A.officlals against the Board of Pension Commissioners.At the organisation meeting today it was tound that the

QUEBEC, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1922, EAST PROBLEM 15 FORGED TO FRONT By Aotion Of Greece In Threatened March On Constantinopie IMPORTANT STATEMENT Lloyd George Repeats Greek Assurance Against Invading Neutral Zone London, July 31.\u2014The action of Greece In threatening to march on Constantinople and proclaiming autonomy for Bmyrna and its hinterland again has forced the difficult Near Eastern problem to the forefront in diplomacy.Premier Lloyd George in an important statement to Parliament today was able to give reassuring information concerning the crisis\u2014to the effect that Greece had reaffirmed its previous undertaking not to invade the neutral sone, including Constantinople, without the consent of the Alltes.The Premier expressed the opinion that the motive for the Greek action was to ox- pedite a settlement of the Near Eastern question.He added that a meeting of the powers chiefly concerned would be convened to discuss the situation.As 18 known, a conference to discuss the Near East.Tangier and other questions long has been under consideration, but it has been difficult to assemble the Powers.Mr.Lloyd George apparently now has decided not to await a settlement of the Itallan cabinet crisis to bring the Powers concerned together.Premier Lioyd George has invitey M, Poincare, the French Premier, to medt him in London August 7 to die- cuss the reparations question which has been rendered urgent owing to the renewed slump in the mark to just under 3000 to the pound sterling.Should M.Poincare accept the invitation, it may be assumed that the two Premiers will talk over the possibility of summoning, if not a meeting of the Supreme Council, to which M.Poincare 1# known to have objections, at least representatives of the leading Powers interested to confer on the Near Eastern problem.Alles Prepared.Constantinople, July 81.\u2014The precautionary movement of British troops across the Boaphorus to re- inforos French foroes on the Tohataije line, thirty miles west, continued throughout the day.This measure is being taken in order to be prepared to opposs any possible violation of the neutrality of Constantinople by Greek troops wishing to cross into Asia Minor to oppose the Turkish Nationalists, Additional British reinforcements are expected from Malta to be on hand in case of any threatening movement on the part of the Greeks.Yesterday's conference of Allied Generals sealed a definite agreement between the Allies to forcibly prevent any possible attempt by the Greeks to take Constantinople.The real danger, however, is believed to arise not from the possibility of an order to advance from the Greek High Command, but from the exalted feeling among Greek troops, whose advance of their own accord is considered possible.The Allied flest has been ordered to kesp up steam in readiness for any sventuality.WOMAN KILLED AND THREE OTHERS HURT Car Ran Backwards Over Thirty Foot Embankment into River Stellarton,
