Many Christians fleeing from the disputed Mosul region'and attempting; to reach Van about 150 miles north ofMosul, - . 1, in Turkish Armenia, have been killed, according to information contained in a telegram from tame British High Commissioner at Bagdad. The tele- gram was received by the British delegation to theLague of Nations Assembly, and was made public on Thursday. The slain constitute, for the most once part women ,, and children and the older Mien, for it was the stragglers, unable to keep up with themain column, who were waylaid. The tele- gram saYs it is reported d that 1,500 of this Christian party reached Van alive. „ The ° Mosul muddle thickened on. Thursday night during a dramatic session of the Council of the..

A second was that 50 persone of .all ages ge exec, escaping from. the op- pressive rule of the British forced oc- cupation, had taken refuge in the Turkish zone. A • third charge was that a band of 500;. ineltidtng Assyr- ians, commanded by British officers were preparing to attack the Turkish posts. Col. Amery informed the Council that, about 8,000 Chaldean Christians had been deported by the . Turks, Bushdi Bey' retorted that the Nestor ians who had abandoned Turkey were working treacherously against Turkey on the British side. He demanded the appointment of a special commiseion to make an investigation of the'rnili- tai;y situation and of _all incidents which had occurred since the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, -but the Council declined to take action on this proposal U.S. SUBMARINE RAMME113 : BY LINER Thirty-four Men Imprisoned With Small Hope of Rescue -Three of Crew. Sayed. New • London, Conn., Sept. 27.-- With 7.-With deep sea divers tapping her steel skirl and:. listening in vain for a response from her closed compart- ments, the submarine S-51 lies 130 feet deep on the floor of 'the Atlantic to=°night, a gaping hole;in her side and her slender hull, it is feared, the cof- fin of thirty-four officers and men who have perished in the United States Navy's greatest underwater disaster, The wreck of the S-51 was located fifteen mike, due east of Block Island and the same distance south of New- port, R.I., wbare it sank at 10.24 o'clock Friday night, immediately after collision with the Savannah lin- er City of Rome, bound from Savan- nah to Boston. Above the stricken submarine is anchored a rescue fleet of other sub- mersible boats, • destroyers, mine sweepers and the cruiser Camden, anxiously awaiting the arrival of sal- vage vessels rushing to the scene from New York and hoping the reports of the first divers to' reach the sunken chip do not mean there is_ no life left aboard: -Here, at the S -51's hone port, head= quarters forthe relief expedition. p an have been established at the Navy Submar- ine base, and the same atmasphere of tense anxiety and prayerful hope pre- vails. Some relief was afforded by news from Boston-- that the three men of the submarine crew who were picked from the sea by the City of Rome had been landed safely in that city and none is seriously injured.

PRINCE ON HOME TRIP FROM SOUTH AMERICA H.R.H. Entertains Officials of the Argentine Before Sailing. Mar del Plata, Argentina, Sept. 27. -The Prince <of Wales is homeward bound after a six weeks' visit to South America. H.M.S.. Repulse, with the Prince aboard, sailed at 7.30 o'clock this morning. On the eve of his departure for England the Prince entertained Presi- dent De Alvear at a farewell banquet aboard the British warship.. Several members of, the Cabinet and high Government officials, as well as many others socially prominent, who had come from Buenos Aires to bid the Prince farewell, attended. The Re- pulse was lavishly ilQuminated and the function was a brilliant affair. The Prince spent the last three days of his visit to Argentina at the ranch of the noted Argentine sportsman, -Miguel Martinez de Hoz, who is` now in Europe, but whose sons acted as hosts. Before embarking on the Re- pulse the Prince was the guest of honor at a receptiongiven by the President and + Madame de Alvear at their Summer residence here, Argen- tina's premier seaside resort. Old<.«Roinai 4nscriptien'' -'' Explains Name "Britain" Paris, Sept. 27. -The origin ,of the names Britain and Brittany may be settled by a discovery reFently made near Dijon, France, 'of a Roman in- scription mentioning the name of the god "Britus," . which is a legendary Celtic divinity. Chief 'interest in the discovery lies in the fact that no cer- tain references to the god Britus had ever been discovered so far, although dim allusions come down from Roman tines setting forth reports that this god was worshipped by the Britons of Western France and the British Isles long- before the Gauls and. Druids. By shaming themselves after their divinity the Britons succeeded in perpetuating his name • to the pres- ent day. Unprecedented Rush of Grain to Market A despatch from Winnipeg 'says:- With 6,000,000 .bushels, of wheat mar- keted on the prairies on Thursday, and 5,000,000 the day before, the de- luge of grain has reached the peak with trains of 60 cars moving 30 min- utes apart on both 3eil.way systems. All records of, the Canadian West de- livery have been leroken this week. This rush to market, however, had no direct influence on Thursday's five - cent decline, the traders assert. Ex- port demand is simply lacking for Canadian varieties with foreign com- petitors offering wheat on world mar- kets below the price at which Can- adian; exporters can afford to move grain The Torture of ECZEMA or SALT RHEUM Eczema, or Salt `. Rheum, as it i9 commonly called, is one of the most agonizing of all skin diseases.

In leaving the building the masked rob- ber ordered him to remain where he was for twenty minutes or he would be shot in his tracks. On leaving the office of the railroad, the robber met Mr. White, who was taking a short cut across to his board- ing place on College, Hill, and- ordered him 'to: throw up his hands and imme- diately began to go through his pock- ets, but met with no extra remunera- tion, as the local citizen was carrying his money, five dollars in all, in a pocket that the robber didnot ob- serve. White vitas marched into the same room where Brown was and told to back into the corner. and "stick 'em up," and remain in that position or be would be shot in his tracks. Doctor is Rewarded For Devotion to Duty A despatch from Paris says: - Henri . Vadon, a young French doctor, was decorated with the Legion of Honor by, the Government for his 'de- votion to duty in . exceptional circum- stances.

A despatch from Thorold, Ont., says: -Another crossing accident oc- curred in Thorold about four o'clock Thursday afternoon, in which Alan. Hunt, a partner of the firm of Martin and Hunt, contractors, of Thorold, died after having had his leg taken off below the knee, suffered a bad scalp wound, his left side badly crushed and other injuries, as a result of. a col- lision with an. N.; 8. and T. freight. Mr. Hunt was driving a truck load- ed with gravel to the City Hotel, where he is completing some work, and was accompanied by Norman and Tom Jackson, both of Thorold. On approaching the N., S. -land T. cross ing, on the ,Welland division at Cun- ningham street, Hunt failed to notice an approaching freight train coming from the direction of Welland, owing to a string of box cars standing on both sides of the crossing, and the engine hit the truck, demolishing. it completely. Norman Jackson had time to jump clear and Tom owes his 'life to Hunt, who pushed him off the truck just in time. c Mr. Hunt lived on Chappell Street, Thorold, and was 'a married man. $ R PRATAB SINGH WAS FRIEND OF BRITAIN Lyall Maharajah May bhp Suc ceed, d by "Mr. A," of London Courts Fame, A despatch. from London says; -- News has reached London of the death in Kashmir of Lieutenant -General Six.

Sir Ilari was black- mailed out of $500,000 by a gang, who used as a decoy Mrs. Robinson, pretty wife of a broken-down race track giunbler. It is practically certain that Sir Hari will succeed to the throne. Ile is persona grata to the Government at India,' which has the final decision, and it was for this reason that every effort was made ;to conceal his identity when the scandal broke last year. The throne of Kahsmir is one of the wealthiest and most romantis re- gions in India. The country is known as the land of nightingales and roses, and the income. of the ruler is more than $5,000,000 yearly. The territory is about 80,000 square miles,and `the population 3,000,000. Pratab Singh was one of the best friends Britain' had in India. When the Great War' broke out, although 65 , years of age, he insisted on the right to bring his own army to fight in France and to fight with it. He also insisted on paying the cost of his own troops, and refused reimburse- ment by the British. ASTRONOMERS. MAP, 100 MILLION' STARS Gigantic Task of Surveying Heavens Started Forty Years Ago. A despatch from London says: - The great work of remapping the heavens begun nearly forty years ago, and involving the definite location of 100000,000 stars, is in danger of breaking: down. Eighteen of : the world's largest observatories agreed to share the vast undertaking, but only two famous English observator- ies -Oxford and Greenwich -have completed the tasks allotted them. In. the majority of cases progress has been slower than expected, and in others no attempt was made to fulfil the obligations entered into in'1885. The Director of the Paris Observatory still hopes the four French observa- tories taking part will finish their work by 1935, but this is not. at all certain. Copies of_ the Greenwich and Ox- ford photographic charts and cata-�. logues prepared at great cost have been distributed throughout the world. More than 100,000,000 stars have been located, it was explained at the Royal Astronomical Society, and this num- ber is being constantly added to. Officials of the society admitted it was a mistake ever to have begun such a tremendous undertaking, for long before other observatories have completed their section of the heavens the Oxford and. Greenwich charts'wili be out of date. World's • Wheat Crops. A despatch from Ottawa says: - Official estimates of this year's wheat crops have been received from 28 countries of the Northern Hemi- sphere, including every wheat grow- ing country of importance except France. The • total production of wheat in these countries is 2,51,9,000,- 000 bushels, as` compared with =2,348, 000,000 last year, and 2,436,000,000, the average of the five' years 1919-23. This is an increase.of 171,000,000 bushels over last year, but it should be remembered that last • year's crop was an exceptionally small one.'This year's production is far below that of 1923 when the 28 countries included above produced 2,725,000,000 bushels. or 207,000,000 more than in 1925.: Be sides, there was an unusually small arry over of wheat in both exporting and importing countries at the be- ginning of the present grain year on August 1; The Sept. crop report of the United States indicates a yield of 700,000,000 f ushels of wheat against 873,000,000 ushers. last year, and that of Can - da 391,819,000 bushels against 262,-.

DOMINIONS' EXPORTS' CROWD OUT DENMARK Danish Dairymen Meet to Dis- cuss Restricted Markets in Great Britain. A despatch from Copenhagen, Den- mark, says: -Leading agriculturists, farriers, dairymen, representatives of export associations and private ex- porters assembled here under the presidency of the Minister of Agri- culture to discuss the export of but- ter to foreign countries, particularly Great Britain. The speakers all emphasized that the heavy increase in the imports of butter from the British Dominions to Britain, coupled with "the systematic agitation organized in England for enhanced marketing of butter from the Dominions in the future," was go- ing to intensify greatly the competi- tion with Danish butter. The meeting' decided that • every energy must be exerted to prevent. any justifiable complaints against Danish butter. The Minister of Agri- culture submitted a draft of legisla- tion proposed to deal with the mar- keting of `Danish dairy products. The details, however, were not divulged.
