r Bills to incarporate the Moreli Skat- ing Rink. Noy, Holman & Gillis, Ltd., were read a first time: also one to amend the Alberton Incorporation Act.

Mr. M. KENNEDY, seconded by Mr. Prowse, asked that the contract and all other papers connected with the arrangements made between the Gov- ernment and the Anglo-American Tel- egraph Co. regarding the night letters service to this province be laid on the table.

THE PREMIER said to lay on the table all the correspondence would in- volve the copying of a letter file that would take several days. When the Government came into power it found some negotiations had taken place for a night letter and week-end rates. The then Government had pressed for a 1500. rate for 50 words. but nothing had been done. The present Govern- ment took up the matter with the rc- sult it got at 30c. rate for 50 words. This concession had been in operation for twa years although the contract. had not been fully signed. It requir- ed the signature of the Anglo-Ameri- can Telegraph 00., the Western Union, the Maritime Telephone 00., P. E. l. Telephone Co.. the Dominion Public Works, and the Railway Department. All had signed but the Department of Railways, and he hoped when he went

The third is Julia Rebecca Borden, residing in the old home at Grand Pre; and the fourth is Henry Clifford Borden, a lawyer in Halifax, N. S.

The closest bond existed between the Prime Minister and his mother, and it is recalled that to the simple white farm house hi. Grand Pre the victorious leader of a great political party quietly repaired on September 22, 1911,—the day after the triumph which brought him the Premiership——~ to see his aged mother.

desired it, he would have all the cor- respondence copied.

Mr. KENNEDY said it was not ne- cessary. All he wished to see were the terms of the contract, as the night service was not being operated in the country. The railway telegraph ofllces closed at half-past five o’clock and it {was impossible to get through a night message after that.

5THE SPEAKER said they had not a Sunday service in Summerside, but these were questions that. could be raised when the contract' was laid over.

The PREMIER said the Sunday ser- vice was in operation in Summerside the same as in Charlottetown. It was not an all-day service, neither was it in Charlottetown. In the country dis- tricts the night messages could be sent by telephone. but if it were desired to send them from the railway sta- tions. they must be sent before the ofilce closed.

Mr. KENNEDY asked if the full taxes on foxes had been collected. and if not. what were the names of the

_ parties still owing; also if the Govern-

ment intended collecting the outstand- ing amounts.

The PREMIER laid over the state- ment and stated it was the intention to take the usual measures for the collection of arrears.

Mr. KENNEDY asked if a settle- ment had been arrived at. in the Lady Woad case and the amount of costs.

The PREMIER replied that when Prbinier Ilaszard introduced a resolu- tion in 1911 for the settlement of these claims. he stated that the capital and int rest involved to that date was $1 .488. The Government had arrived at settlement with the trustees on September 22 for $8,500 for which do-

OTTAWA, March 31.—“ in regard to the degrading of the road, we have the highest authority. mat of Mr E. J. Chamberlain, President of the Grand Trunk Pacific, that we took the right position. We could take the grades out for less than .half what the old commission paid," was the answer of' Hon. Frank Cochrane today to the oft-repeated charges of the Liberals that the present Government had dc‘ graded the N.’I‘.R.

This statement was made in course of the debate on the Government re- solution for power to lease or other- wise acquire that section of the G.T.P. between Fort William and Superior Junction; or. in other words, the outlet to the Great Lakes.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. George P. Graham appeared in their usual role as special pleaders for the G.T.P. They argued that the N.T.R. was still incomplete and therefore its was un« necessary for the G.T.P. to accede to

the Government's demands that they fulfil the original demands by taking over the road and operating it. They went still further and stated that the changes made at Quebec without the Company's consent and the degrada- tion of the road had relieved the Com- pany from carrying out its agreement to take the road at any time.

Hon. Arthur Melghan pointed out the necessity of the Lake Superior section to the operation of the N.T.R. This bill was purely a precautionary measure in the event of the refusal of the G.'I‘.P. to carry out its contract. or any extended delay in carrying it out. If such happened the Govern- ment must operate the road and they had to have running rights over this section for this purpose. If they had to take this section over. it would give them a powerful factor in any future negotiations with the G.T.P. If neces- sary they would also take over the Company’s elevators and terminals at

Fort William. The whole trouble, he

The eastern sec- tions had been completed for four years and there was nothing to force the G.T.P. to operate this. Chief Engineer Grant had served notice on the G.T.P. that the road was complete for operating purposes. The G.T.P. refused to accept his decision. The- only tribunal to decidewas the courts of the land. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had delivered as into the hands of the G.T.P. He had handed them the keys of the Treasury, he had given them an agreement full of wounds. be had failed to insert any penalty to guar- antee performance of their part of the contract and finally now he appeared a special pleader on behalf of the Company to permit them to escape from the contract he had made with them on behalf of the people of Canada.

WAR SUMMARY

(Special to the Guardian.)

LONDON. March 31.——Two German submarines. the U-28 and another number which has not been ascertain, ad. which have been operating‘oi'f the west coast of England during the past few days, have added two merchant British steamers. the Flemish and the Crown of Castile. to their list of victims, totalling five since Saturday evening.

There was no loss of life on the Flamian and the Castile, the crews of each being given barely time in which to get into the boats. In the case of the latter vessel. however. the sub- marine flred before the crew left the steamer and shells passed along the bridge, on which the captain and an apprentice were standing.

The Crowu of Castile was sunk by "We of the band",

IU. S. BITIZTII VIETIM -

shell fire, but this did not prove sufficient to send the Flamian to the bottom, and a torpedo had to be used. As an offset to this a French destroyer rammed and. it is believed. sank a German submarine off Dieppe.

As the destroyers have been unable to round up the submarines operating on the British coast, shlpowners have petitioned the Government to be allowed to arm their ships. This has not been permitted heretofore, as steamers could then be considered ships of war and .be sunk without notice.

The heavy loss of life in the sinking of the Falabu and Aguila has aroused a storm of indignation throughout the country, and a demand is made that the crews of submarines be treated as pirates if captured.

This question and that relating to drink, which is alleged to be causing delay in the delivery of munitions of war. absorb public interest. The King. through his secretary, has sent a. letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, emphasising the necessity of taking some action to stop excessive drink- ing and has offered. if it is considered advisable. personally to give up the use of alcoholic liquor and prohibit the use of it in the royal househoidu The Government has not. yet reached a decision in the matter.

In order to prevent further delay at Liverpool docks. caused by the men refusing to work week-ends. it has been decided to incorporate the dock- ers into an army voluntarily, in which case they will receive both army and their regular pay.

So far as actual fighting is concern- ed, official reports contain little news. The big effort in the west, which has been so long awaited. seems to be still far off. and operations are con- fined , to occasional attacks and counter attacks. while airmen on both sides are kept busy watching the op- posing forces and dropping bombs where they might be expected to do most damage.

In the east the Russians are bold- ing the Germans in North and Central Poland and are putting forth all their strength to force their way through Uzolr and Luplrow Passes. with the result that some of the hesvielst and most continuous lighting of the war is in progress in the Carpathians, both sides laying claim to success. The Russians. who slresdy forced the Dalila Pass. sre slowly making their way down to the southern slopes of the Csrpstliisns into Hungary snd. according to a British critic. must soon compel the Austrians and Gen- mans defending the two other I
