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.

It is in the Contact bay region P in western Ontario, about 260 miles east of Winnipeg. Cook made his find by literally stumbling upon it. While on his way to his cabin along the shores of Copper Lake he tripped and tell over a rusty spur of quartz jutting up from the ground. Impelled by anger more than curiosity, he struck the spur with his pick and uncovered eve. H.R.

It is about the center of the great mineral belt that extends from beyond the eastern boundary of Saskatchewan across the vast stretches of northern Manitoba far into Ontario, Every known metal, frons, iron to platinum, has been found at various places in that bolt and a dozen or more rich mines are in opera- tion, among which the best known are at Cobalt, Ont.; Rice Lake, Man,; and The Pas. Subsequent prospecting revealed that the width of the large ore body varies from ten to thirty feet and is continuous an the surface for about 1,400 feet.

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- tive has been added to his name. Once again his personality won the affec- tions of a group ot strangers. The Indians are his willing subjects from this hour, ' Prince of Wales a Cow Puncher In Both Activity and Spirit of schist, At the bottom of a five-foot pit the high-grade ore is about six inches Wide, while on the surface it was from three to four inches wide. Assays of the quartz to either side of the high grade ore give 310 in gold to tee ton. Wachinan's was a stroke of good fortune that surpassed his fondest ex- pectations. He had come to the wilds of western Ontario to spend a vacation firlt,ng and hunting, By chance he 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- tions -from The Pas they could be out for months in the mineral belt without anyone crossing another's path, Beneath the moss and muskeg of northern Manitoba lie riches sufficient to pay the national debt of Canada many times over, is the opinion of Frauk Moore, mining expert and pion- eer prospector, of Winnipeg, who staked the Rex and several other minas in the Rice Lake region.

A few day -s ago the 'General was made the recipient of. a 3500 chest of silver, on which was engraved the name "Curry." Fretdui persons, great- ly disturbed, rushed to see what could be done to remedy the 'supposed en- -graver''s error, but Warden Jahn Curry, brother of the General, set their fears at rest. He stated that the family name had been correctly spel- led, and indicated that the General had rsiiniply let the other go by default "during the war as not worth bother- ing about.

"BEING DEAD) YET SPEAKETH." The Shade of His Son—"Fight for your- rights, dad, but don't spoil niy work." Munitionettes Clamoring For Chance to Settle Abroad. A despatch from London says:— There is going to be a big spurt in' emigration as soon as the shipping situation in Great Britain becomes easier. Demobilized women workers who cannot find employment to their taste at home are clamoring for facile! ties to go abroad—especially to the overseas dominions. War work has unsettled enormous numbers of women who had previous• ly been content to apply themselves to domestic duties, and the result is that the taste for adventure is attract., Ing them to new and unknown spheres' of effort. The Overseas Settlement Department is helping ex -service wo-' men as well as omen with free pass-', ages, but only such as have the qualie fications demanded by the dominions will be assisted in this way. Munition workers have been particu-, larly eager to avail themselves of this offer, but oddly enough, this is one of, the classes to which it does not apply,, Aerial Transport for the Dead and the Dying.
