He was born in Charlottetown on Sept. 26, 1878 and was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Chandler. For many years the de- ceased was with the Robin Hood Flour Company. He represented this firm in Prince Edward Islfllld and along the north shore of New Brunswick.

Prominent visitor From ll.S.arrivcs here

Mr. Fulton Edwards, Jackson, Mississippi, Assistant Secretary of the Mississippi Tax Commission, arrived in the city last night ac. companied by his wife and daugh- ter to spend a short vacation in this province.

Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are per- sonal iriends of Lt. Governor Dennis Murphree, who was in Charlottetown a iew weeks ago with a large party of Mississip- pians. On July 25th the day on which the party on the special Mississippi Train arrived home Mr. and Mrs. Edwards left Jackson by automobile and have travelled east through parts oi’ Ontario and around the Gaspe Coast in Que. bee. I-"rom here they expect. to go to Cape Breton and over the Cabot Trail. They expreked- great ad- miration for our beautiful scenery and said it seemed to them this was the most fertile spot they had seen since leaving home.

In speaking about general con- ditions in Mississippi Mr. Edwards stated that they are very good and in fact are steadily improv- ing. He was quite enthusiastic over the tax system employed in his state and mentioned that since the 2% sales tax was imposed in 1932 the finances have vastly improv- ed until today Mississippi has not only a balanced budget but an an- nual surplus to show. For con. venience in collecting the tux on small sales aluminum tokens are used which are in size about that of a nickel. These are made up to represent one tenth of one cent and on a five cent purchase for instance one token is given to rep- resent the 2% lax. Another token is made to represent an amount equivalent to a tax of five cents. On larger purchases of course these tokens are not necessary. A valuable feature of the smaller tokens is the large amount of money collected because of so many small purchases being made daily by everyone and on which under the ordinary systems of taxation no tax revenue is collect- ed. The system is not causing any confusion now whatsoever al- thought in the beginning some few people were opposed to it.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Edwards spoke very enthusiastically about the good time their many friends had here during the visit of the "Know Mississippi Better Train."

ll. S. Senate Gives

inion that as it passed the Senate it provided for retroactive increas- es for men who have already com- pleted more than one year's ser- vice in the army.

For example, it was felt that an army old-timer who had been in service for 20 years might be en-

titled to back pay at the rate of $10 a month, for 10 years.

There were indications that the amendment might be redrafted, if not deleted altogether, in the House.

The Pa? increase was wrlll-ell lIll-O the bill with so little advance dis- cussion that there was n0 immed- lam word as to the NBCtIOII of the war and treasury departments.

It was apparent, however, that it would alter the army's present budget plans and necessitate an ad- dltional appropriation if it Shellld become law.

The war department reported t0- day that the expanding army new numbered 1.531.800 officer's and men, including 669.500 selective ser- vice trainees.

Assuming that 1,500,000 mell would receive non-retroactive Ply raises, the cost would be $15,000,- 000 a month, or 3180000000 B Yell’-

THE STORY OI‘ THE "MILTON"

The ship "Milton", out oI Multland, N.S., H82 tons, was built by brown and Anthony In I879 and was com- manded by Cupi. Henry McArlhur.

In August 188i, while In the Pacific, ihe "Milton's" cargo cl Newcastle coal cough! firs and the crew ebon- doneci her in three boots, making for Southern California. One bout was lost. Another was picked up utter 23 days. But the third, commended by Capt. McAriiiur, who was accom- panied by his wife and two small sons, went through 46 days under the blazing sun.

One boy died, but the mother and older boy survived the gruelling ordeal. McArtiiur navigated his boot for 2,600 miles and mods an almost miraculous landfall, sighting Son Iicqueislnnd, before they were picked w- hy a Msglcun schooner.

Interpreting The? War

on a wide front on both sides 0f the Orsha-Smolcnsk road. | Ii that refers to the rgiiroad. however, it implies that the Russians still hold the south bank of the Dnieper from smo- lensk to Orsha and the east bank from Orsha to Mogilev.

For weeks that Mogilev. Ofillfl-Smflleil-Sk river bastion has been the main obstacle to the German advance on Mos- cow. It sharply limited the strategic value of the Nazi break-through from Vitebsk to Smolensk and farther east along the Moscow railroad. Red forces holding the great river bend were on the flank of the Nazis’ most advanced salient.

If it has not been cleared, a successful major attack on Moscow seems ‘impossible. t

O O

In any case, there is ample evidence in Hitler's report on the Smolensk battle that the Russians have massed trom- endous forces before Moscow. The claim of more than 300,- . 000 Russians captured on that l narrow front alone shows that. t By Nazi yardstlckg that would 5 indicate total Russian cris- ualties of close to 1,000,000 men l in the Smolensk sector fight.

g.

Yet obviously the Russians are still holding there in great strength, too great for the Germans to press on immed- iately against Moscow. And if Red forces still hold also the Mogllev - Orshmsmolensk tri- angle in the great bend of the Dnieper and have thwarted any critical break-through at Mogilev to widen the base of the Smolensk salient to 100 miles or so, it is time for Hit- i ler to turn elsewhere ior a de- l‘ clslve victory. .

He needs urgently a quick victory of major strategic con- sequence. 1t is not yet discern- able before Moscow. It could be in the making south of Kiev in the Ukraine.
