Exeter Advocate, 1913-6-19, Page 3'TED STATES AND CANADA Relations Are Very Close And Destined to More Rapidly Still, Says J. J Hill A despatch from Ottawa, says: "Some vietoriee of peace" woe the keynote of the addrese of Mr, J. 3. i11, the noted . American railway .megnate, in responding to the toaet (`Our Guests" at the banquet, of 'MUM New York State Bankers' Aseo- eiation held here on Thursday. Mr. Hill, after eloquent reference to the hundred years of peace, pre- \ dieting that there would never again be war between English- speaking nations, said in part; "Capital is the most cosmopoli- tan force in the world, From the beginnings of human intercourse it has broken down more baeriers, cemented more bonds than all the armies and navies of the world. Capital to -day furnishes the sinews of war. For none calf long be car- ried on anywhere, as a rule, none would ,ever be begun, if the great bankers of the• world should agree in refusing to finanee it. Arbiters of peace and agents of material de- velopment everywhere, it is most appacapriate that they should be heard here and to -day. "A century has written in the United States a, record never before equalled. It has meant very much to our neighbors of the north. If Canada is now, in regard to the population, about where the United States was in 1813, in all other respects she stands about where the. United States did sixty years ago. The apparatus for her development is substantially com- plete, and the process is going for- ward at a startling pace. Commercial Relations Close. "In spite of all obstructions, the commercial relations between Can- ada and the United States have grown to such proportions that as- tonish even those familiar with the official figures. According to the report of the United States Consul in this city; the foreign trade of Canada reaohed total of over a billion dollars for the calendar year 1912. The iner.ease over 1911 was 28.5 per eent. Of the total 56 per cent. was business done with the United States. For the same eel - ender year the balance of trade for the whole United States, was $581,- 000,000; ancl of this $255,000,000 was due to our commerce with Canada. It supplied forty-four per cent. of the balance rolled up by our com- merce with the whole world. Canada Second Best Customer. "It is usual to speak and think of Europe as the best customer of the United State; and insofar as this Defers to the United Kingdom, it is true. But the ominion of Canada is far and away the second • best customer that we have. The statistics have been brought down to cover the first ten months of the current fiscal year, which -began on July i Ilst. During that time our export.s to the United Kingdoxn were $524;000, 000 ; to Germany, $291,000;000; to France, $131,000,- 000; to Canada, $338,000,000, aid to all Europe oombined $1,294,- 000,000. No other country except Great Britain and Germany even approaches Canada as a buyer in the markets of the United States. Her purchases were a seventh greater than those of Germany. They Were .26 per cent. of those made up by the whole of Europe combined. Nor is this trade a one- sided affair. It looks impressive when considered as a whole. Of the total exports from Canada in 1912 the United States bought over 38 percent. Almost all the mineral exports of Canada go to the latter country; most of it,s forest products and manufactures, and a third of the yield of its fisheries. This com- merce in both clirectiiions is destined • to grow even more rapidly in the next few years, owing to impending changes in the tariff regulations of the United Statee, thaneit has at any time during the last forty to fifty years. Canadian Banking. "On two main lines the. hankers •of the two countries may well take eouneel and learn from each other. The next task of the United States is to provide a safe a.nd adequate currenty for the country. For Canada that problem has been solved in what iappears to be a practical way. By year system banking facilities eaa be furnished-, through what appears to be a prac- tical way. By your eystembanking facilities can be furnished. through branch offices, as they have been to ' ell the eommunitiee of commercial importance, Profit Hy Neighbor's Blunders. "The bankers of Canada are in a position to anticipate and fore - eta many of • the most seriotte blunders that heir° marked the • agiioultura.i deve lop me n t of the United States. It is not too late to prevent the robbing of the soil, the exhaustion of fertility still un- impaired in your more recently Niet,bled diskicts. It is not 6o" large Grow a task, while your population still remains below the ten million mark, to introduce and eatorce right methods of farming; to stop the transfer of population from country to city whieh has been a mark of decline in praetically eve*, coun- try of the world. The Dominion •Governriaeat, I believe, has shown its appreciation of the importanee and value Of this work by an aP- propriation of ten million dollars, to be spent in ed hy the various provinces within. the next ten years. This is wisely clone, but. you should take care that these funds are not frittered away on ex- tensive buildings .or large perma- nent educational staffs, but devoted to practicel instruction to the far- mer in modern farm methods with his own hands on his own land," •44_ FOUR PERSONS KILLED. Wreck on. the New York, New IIa- - tern 8z Hartford Railroad. A despatch from Stamford, Conn., says: Four persons are dead and many injured, some seri- ously, as the result of a rear -end collision on the main line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, opposite the local pas- senger depot at 4.45 o'clock on Thursday afternoon when the sec- ond section of the Springfield Ex- p'ress, westbound, crashed into the first sectien which was just leaving the station. The. dead: Mrs. Edw. Kelly, 3 Dryden Avenue, Win- throp, Mass., wife of the land agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, instantly killed; Frank Canfield, Spriegfield, Mass., instantly killed; Mus. Barges, Springfield, Mass., died five minutes after wreck oc- curred; E. It. Woodruff, Flushing, L.I., instantly killed. The serious- ly- injured: F. J. Jennings, New York, lacerations about the head. —o---- INS'IANTLY KILLED. Sarnia Han Electrocuted Moving a House., • .4 despatch from Sarnia says: Shortlyebefore 11 o'clock on Thurs- day morning death came with terri- ble suddenness to Geo. J. Lebon- ville, a young married man, em- ployed by Alex. Bowles, contractor and houeeniever, Mr. Bowles was engaged in moving; a house along Davis Street. The house came in contact with the wires of the Elec- tric Light Go., and the young man Lebenville went up on 'top .ef the house to raise the wires. He took hold a one of the wires to lift it up, when 2,260 volts of -electricity passed through his body and he Wits instantly electrocuted. While ONE KILLED, THREE HURT.

It would be thought thatthis influx ougbt to be doing 801:124thing solao the "farm help" problem, but it is not cer- tain that this is the ease. Many of them will stielt at any city job they can get rather than go on. the farm. A eigni- licant sign is pinned. to the door of the leading employment agency of the (air. It read a "No males wanted except farm help," As for females, the demand 'for domestic service seems inexhauetible. In truth many of tin) new arrivals know absolutely nothing of conditions on the farm. One nearby farmer teals a Story of the other day taking home an immigrant. Early in the evening he ehewed m. a him to his roond in a few moments heard the thud of boots dropped on the floor outside the new arrival's • door. The new hired man was putting his boots outside to be cleaned. Another who was aziplYiug to a farmer for a position was asked if he could milk. "Ob, are, brawler," was lais re- sponse. "I 040e Milked goat," No more adaptable are some of the women. One who took a place as a do- mestic in a home where there were hot and cold water taps and all other con- veniences, wae found by her mietrees an hour after dinner sitting in the kitchen beside a dish pan full ot dishes, On being asked why she did not go ahead with her dishwashing she said that the water from the hot water tan had been too hot and ehe was waiting tor it to cool. • The sobriety *1 Canada bothers others. Au employer who had engaged a number of Englishmen on some construction work • was scandalized on going ua to -the top of the building one day recently, to find that the new laborers had laid down their tools and were enjoying half a dozen bottles of beer.

Something of a rumpus has 13een stirred up in University eireles by the charge made at the annual meeting of the Alum- ni Association by Mr. Gordon Waldron to tho effect that an insidioue effort is tieing made to introduce Imperialism into 'aDalivexsity, Mr. Waldron' did net goa neater in support of his charge than to say that a distiact tendency was obser- ttale to introduce Oxford graduates to the staff. But he declared that in Uni- versity College, which is the bailiwick of Dr. Maurice Hutton, there were ten Ox- ford men. In the whole irstitution there Were no lees than 25, nine of whom had been appointed during the Dast Nrear. As to whether these men were conducting any political propaganda. and if so by what methods, Mr. Waldron did not say: Mr. Waldron's charge is in the char- acter of counter attack to those who have been criticizing the University be- eause,of the recent organization there of a Tones Men's Liberal Club. It is known, tab, 'that there is a considerable clique of thorough -paced Nationalists in the stu- dent body. Some two or three years ago invitations , were extended to Mr. Bour- assa and Mr. Lavergne, the prominent Nationalist leaders. It is new said that tbis Nationalism had as its basis a cer- tain. resentment of the ultra Imperialism of certain 'members of the staff. • Prot Hutton and Mr. Waldron. At all events there seems little doubt that politicaI feeling is running higher at the -University now than it has for many years. It is perhaps only a reflec- tion of increased political partisansbip • throughout the country, or At May indi- cate that the student body is taking a more active interest in political affaire. Professor Hutton ie a very distinguished scholar with strong militarist ideas. /1 was he who at the ree.ent annual dinner of the Canadian Press Association criti- cized the press and drew fire from the representatives of the newspapers who responded. Mr. Gordon Waldron is a lawyer, with considerable force of character, though often thought to be extreme in 1110 views. He spent, -many years ia Central Amer- ica, but recently has been practicing law and journalism through the Weekly Sun in We city. Toronto's New Hospital. Toronto's splendid new General HMI- tal, formally opened ou June 19, is said by experts to represent the last word -in hoapital •consteuction on the Amiritan continent, Many famous hospitals in other cities have been kept up to date by alterations and additiouo, but the local hospital as it exists to -day has the advantage of being planned as a whole and therefore is a model of completeness and efaciency. At letiet sixth is the claim of those who are responsible for it. Some idea of its size is indicated by the fact that in all the large centres of popula- tion in America there are oniy taro hos- pitals width are larger than Toronto's now institutioh. One of these is in Boston and one in New York. A famous Eur- opean surgeon who a few weeke ago looked over the new buildings declared as his partiag word, "No man can say he has seen the hospitals of Amerlea until 'he has seen this one of youre it Toronto." The institution as it stands has cost the enormoue sum of 53,400,000.. Of this amount practioally one million dollars has yet te be raised, clespite large dona- tions from the Provincial Government, through the University, from, the city and feom private sul3striptions.

In the rear and completely screened frora view are immeuse gardens which compare creditably in size with many of the city parks. Dere hedges and ehrtibe have been planted and these with a num- ber of flue old trees which have been preserved, will add greatly to the attrac- tivenees of the surroundings. Tennis courts have been provided for the use of the nuroos. In planning the buildings the aathitects aimed to -secure a maximum of sun light. A novel system ef ventilation has been installed. The commonly accepted idea of ventilation is to open the windows and doors and let in fresh air. In a con- gested and grimy centre of population such as that in which the new hospital ie located, this system might be nti- pleasant and in many cases positively dangerous. With this in mind the win- dows are not to be opened in the new hospital. Fresh air will be 6upp1ie3. by a powerful system of fans in the sub- basements of each section, fresh air will be constantly supplied, and to ineure pur- ity, it will be drawn through a curtain of falling water, something like 4 shower bath. In this way the al will be liter- ally waehed and dust and impurities ex- tracted by the water curtain. Can Accommodate 50 Victims. The emergency wing is particularly well ecniipped. "We have accommodation for the victims of any big accident whieh raight injure as many as fifty or eixty people," said one of the °facials, "but of 1,74 certainlya hope that such Will never occur." • The group of buildings are clietinative in appearance, being constracted of a high clap brick known as vitreous brick. It is said this brick cost as much as 560 a thousand as compared with 516 and $18 a thousand paid for the ordinary preased brick. The action of the trusteee Mae. matter is defended on the ground that the ordinary pressed brick would have made the buildinge look like a group of factories. It was hoped at ono time to have used stone, but this was Sound to be too expensive and the vit- reous brick is said to have equal dim - ability.
