ATLANTIC TRAVEL FOOD PRICES DROP
BACK TO NORMAL IN UNITED STATES
Expected That End of October
Will See Close of Military
Monopoly.
A despatch from Montreal says: --
Indications point to an early ending of
the requisition ot passenger space for
Government requirements on both the
Canadian and American routes, and
from British ports,
A circular receivedat the White
Star offices advises that third-class
bookings could now be accepted on the
'steamers Lapland and Adriatic, sail -
lag trent 'Southampton to New Y,prk,,
'beginning ' 'with the sailing of the Lap-
land from Southampton, Sept. 16th.
This is taken as the beginning of
the end of war activities, and will open
the way to the resumption of normal
ocean travel, It was stated that the
indications are that plenty of space on
all lines will soon be available for
civilian travel, on both the Naw York
and Canadian lines to British ports.
Probably the end of October will see
the close of the military monopoly of
passenger service, which has caused
IQ much dislocation during the past
eve years.
CANADIAN AMBULANCES
OVERSEAS BEING SOLD
A despatch from London says:—
The Canadian Red Cross Society will
dgase to exist as an overseas organize -
,
on in a few more weeks. The Cana -
ambulances, which it was eiee'oposed to return to Canada for
'esentation to various hospitals,
were found to have done such long
service tin France that it was consider-
ot advisable to di'spols!e of them here,
and this is being tone. Like other mili-
tary
f stores, they have realized good
pekes,.
Colonel Brayleck, head of the Oana-
eian Red Cross, will shortly retire to
pelvate life and remain 7n England,
Kylhi1e Lady Drummond will return fie
Mom!breal at the end of the month.
COMPLETES CASE FOR.
PROSECUTION OF EX -KAISER
A despatch from London says:—
The Attorney -General," Sir Gordon
Hewrat, has completed the case for
the prosecution of the former German
Emperor, according to the Mirror. The
placeof the trial has not yet been set-
tled.
Decline of 10 to 15 Per Cent. Fol-
lows Goyernsment`1nvestigation.
A' despatch from Washington says:.
—Reports to the Department of Jus-
tice from twelve states indicate that
there has been a decline of 10 to 15
per cent. in food prices since the time
the fair price commissions began their
work. From four states have come re-
ports on wholesale prices indicating
a decline of two to five per cent, Vir-
tually no reductions in 'clothing prices
have been noted. 1`
The reports on retail food prices
-were said to .have been front cities
and • counties well distributed through-
out the country, and the information
is believed by officials here to be a
fair indication of what is going on
everywhere. They think that results
now becoming evident will be cumu-
lative as the season advances, new
declines in wholesale prices being re-
flected in retail prices and additional
reductions coming 'from the campaign
against hoarding and profiteering.
A GERMAN CRUISER
TO PUT TO SEA
PAY$450,000,000
Under Peace ;Treaty Terms
Army is Reduced to 20,000.
A despatch from Paris says:—The
Temps outlines 'what it` says are the
principal military and economic stipu-
latione contained in the peace treaty
which is to be presented to Bulgaria.
These include abolition of obligatory
military service and the maintenance
of a police force which shall not ex-
ceed 20,000 men, The Customs offi-
cers, gendarmes and police agents will
aggregate 10,000.
Arias and munitions exceeding the
quantity which Bulgaria may retain
under the treaty shall be placed at
points indicated by the Allies. An in-
ter -allied commission will supervise
the execution ot the military, naval
and aeronautic provisions of the com-
pact,
Bulgaria must return all valuable
objects and documents stolen from the
Allies and deliver up to military courts
of the Allies persons guilty of acts
contrary to the Iaws of war.
FInally, Bulgaria must pay an in-
demnity of 2,250,000,000 francs, which
must be turnedover within a specified
number of years.
A. despatch from Berlin says:—A
Kiel telegram says that the German
cruiser Regensburg is now being fitted
out in the ,Kiel Imperial docks for a
voyage to South America.
The vessel is to be ready Monday.
Her task is to take care that all Ger-
man merchant ships interned in Chile,
Argentine, Uruguay and ports of other
South American States return to Ger-
many as quickly as possible.
The message says that negotiations
are pending with the Entente on this
matter, and that the food supply is to
be promoted by this means.
Italian Nationality of Flume
Agreed Upon by the Big Three
MUST SAIL THIS YEAR
A despatch from London says:—
The Canadian emigration officials are
busily engaged in ,soothing the vexed
spirits of the Canadian soldiers and
their 'wives, who fondly hoped to spend
their Christmas here and remain bill
springtime, but now find themselves
compelI•ed to sail before the end of
the year or eaerifice -their free pas-
sage. The hardship of mid -winter
ereesinsg is 'not„ denied, but it is point-
ed out that but for the Overseas Min-
istry's proclamation the process of re-
patriation would have been spun out
manly months longer, to the detriment
of the normal emigration business
which already has been 'held up long
enough.
A despatch from Rome says: --Tice
Meesaggero says David Lloyd George,
the British Prime Minister; M. Cie-
inenceau, the French Premier, and
Sigixdr Tittoni, the Italian Foreign
Minister, are in perfect accord over a
definite solution of the Fiume ques-
tion ensuring the Italian nationality
of the town, `,and are only awaiting
the President's decision on the sub;
ject.

picturesque escort greeted the Prince
of Wales when he reached Saner. The
Stony Indians formed up to conduct
His Royal Highness to the park, where
the park commissioner presented the
formal address of welcome. Then the
Stonys entertained their young chief -
tate with atypical Indian fete. The
formal dignity of their initial greet-
ings gave place to special dances and
songs and quaint ceremonies of their
race,
The Prince of Wales was made a
chief of the Stony Indians with pomp
and circumstance, The Prince bas
added a wonderful head-dress to his
regalia, and one more royal peroga-

again his personality won the affec-

Wachinan's was a stroke of good
fortune that surpassed his fondest ex-

of western Ontario to spend a vacation

met Larsson, a veteran prospector,
who induced bin to lay down his fish -
pole and gun and take up a pick "for
exercise." Wachman had been exec
acini only two days when he struck
a vein of gold that assayed at a high
rate, although its extent has not been
determined.
The vastness of the country may be
illustrated by the statement of one of
the old-time prospectors, that it 10,000
prospectors started In different direc-

There is going to be a big spurt in'
