Lessard and otter -interesting Late
Suit -Hamilton's Feat.
/t has long been recognized tha,t To-
ronto's great handicap as compared
Montreal lies in the fact that the Cana-
dian Pactifie Railway and the Grand
Trunk Ralivray both, have their head-
quarters in the seaport town. In recent
years the prospeot of the third trans-
tontinental railway, the 0. N. R,, keep-
ing its headquarters in Toronto has given
rise to the hope that in the near future
Toronto might rival Montreal even as a
railway centre. But so far this has been
mostly taken out in hope, because up to
date having the headquarters of the C.
N. R. here has not meaut any great no.
quisition to the city in population or in
industries. Now, however, all this is to
be changed. The C. N. R. has purchased
come 4200 iscreit at /*aside junction and
/LIS arateuxteed that it will immediately
establish there its main railway shops. It
has prepared a plan for the subdivision
of the entire area. The subdivision is to
be laid out along model lines with wide
avenues, one runaing as wide as 110 feet,
diagonal thoroughfares headed for the
bentre of the city and curving streets. It
is estimatedthat in the subdivision as laid
out, 30,000 people will find comfortable
alOrtleS.
This axes, is as yet entirely outside of
the city limits. It is looated at the north-
eastern corner, centignous to the old lim-
its of the eity on the south side and to
the municipality of North Toronto on
the West side. .As North Toronto is about
to be annexed to the eity it is natural
to suppose that the C. IS. R. subdivision
; will soon come also. An interesting fea-
ture is that it forms a connecting link
with Donlands, the estate of Mr. W. F.
Maclean, M.P., proprietor el the Toronto
World, an estate oomprising some 1,2.00
aeres purchased in small lots some years
ago at exceedingly moderate prices as farm
land, but which now at a moderate valu-
ation as suburban property will eaeily
put the owner in the millionaire class.
A French•canatuan oenerah
A ehift among the higher °facers .of the
Canadian Militia, which hag just gone
into effect, brings to the head of the force
at Toronto Brigadier -General Franeois
Louis Lessard. It is curious that the po-
sition in this ultra Protestant, ultra Eng.
lish centre should be given to a French-
Canadian, for General Lessard is decid-
edly French in appearance, manner and
speech. Though reversing the usual or-
der of French -Scottish inter-mairYing in
the province of Quebec, his mother being
of ,Scottish birth, while his father was a
Freneh•Canadian, General Lessard's na-
tive tongue is the French and he speaks
Pixieish with a decided accent.
General Lessard has made a good repo
tation as a soldier. He entered the mili-
tia, thirty-four years ago, when he was
but 18 years old. Be saw his first service
in the North-West Rebellion of 1885 and
came into prominence during the South
African War, where he commanded the
Royal Canadian Dragoons. Re was pre-
sent at the relief of Himberley and saw
much service in the field. For his eon.
duet he received a Queen's Medal with
five clasps.
While not a man of wealth, General
Lessard, like many Military men, is
prominent socially. Like manyofficers
who served in South Africa, his pay was
allowed to accumulate and amounted to
o tidy sum at the conclusion of the war.

A Piquant Law Suit -
The High Court is still considering the
law suit of Mr, G. G. S. Lindsey against
Dr. W. D. 140 Sueur. The case has at
treated a great deal of attention, partly
en aceount of the Proininenee of the liti-
gant, partly on account of the interest-
ing point of law at issue, and partly also
on account of the exeeeclingly interesing
recollections which came 11P in the course
of the trial. Mr. G. G. S. Lindsey is a grand-
son of William Lyon Mackenzie. Re is a
son of the late Mr. Charles Lindeey, for
many years a prominent journalist of To-
ronto, and in later yeare registrar, and
of janet L., one of the daughters of the
rebel -patriot. The Lindsey family hare
had in their possession for many years
practically .all of the documents relating
to Mackenzie, which are now extant. This
collection is said to be exceedingly pro-
fuse and interesting, oontaining docu.
meats whith are to be found nowhere else
in the world. "
Briefly, the story of, the, present law
suit is that Dr. Le Sueur, who ie a liter-
ary light of Ottawa, being commissMned
by the publishers of the "Makers of Can-
ada" series to write a biography of Wil-
liam Lyon Maakenzie, secured permission
to have free access to the Lindsey lib-
rary and its documents. In the course of
time Dr. Le Sueur handed over his manu-
script for the biography, but on the
ground that it Was a partisan manuscript,
unfair to the memory of Mackenzie, it
was rejected by the publishers and not
included In the "Makers of Canada"
series. Mr. Lindsey claims that Dr. Le
Sueur had access to these documents for
the specific purpose of writing a biography
for that series and when his manuscript
was rejected his rights ceased. Mr. Lied-
sey, therefore, sues to restrain Dr. Le
Sue-ur from making anw use whatever of
the information he secured from the Lind-
sey library. The fact that Dr. Le Sueur
is an ardent Tory anti. Mr. Lindsey is the
grandson of his grandfather adds piqu-
ancy to the situation which is heightened
by the fact that Dr. Le Sueur is repre-
sented by a Liberal counsel and Mr. Lind-
sey by a Conservative.
'W. L. Mackenzie's Grandson.
Mr. Lindsey has one of the keenest in-
tellects in Toronto, and may be heard
from politically some 'day, though in re-
cent years he has shown a disposition to
retire into the background, As a young
man he was prominent in political af-
fairs in Toronto, and over 20 years ago,
when only 30 .years of age, was 'sleeted
as alderman for two terms, tie was one
of the group of young men whose weekly
meetings and discussions on public ques-
tions are still recalled with the keenest
pleasure by everyone who participated.
Afterward, Mr. Lindsey became manager
of the Ortav's Nest Goal Go., of vrhicla oor-
poration he was elected President in 1907.
For the past three years, having retired
from that position, he has lived in 'To.
ronto, Be is still interested in mining
affairs and is understood' to be the Pes-
sewer of a considerable fortune.
It is of passing interest that he vrae

publication which has recently been in
the limelight in connections with the dis-
pute with Printipal Hagerty.
Hamilton to the Front,
The winning of three football champion-
ships In one day by the city of Hamil-
ton has brought that rival of Toronto
more prominence in these parts than it
has bad in many a day. Football publi-
city may not be the best kind of publi-
city, but the Ambitious eity's feat is un-
doubted evidence the existence of a
more than ordinary civics spirit.
Hamilton used to be a oontinuous butt
of all stook Sakes in Torento. On the
stage thie continues to some extent, but
it would seem that the practice is dying.
out. Perhaps else reason is that, Toronto
, is getting so big that it no longer con-
siders Hamilton as a, serious rival. To-
ronto now points with pride to the fact
that its population is inereatsing every
vear by more than 10,000 births, apart al-
together from additions to population by
immigration and annexations. Some six
or seven yeare ago Hamilton put on a
considerable spurt and secured the loca-
tion of a large number of important Am-
erican induetries, but in recent years its
increase in population has not been so
marked. At the same time it has pearly
every natural advantage that Toronto has
and svfth the right kind of civic spirit
and enterprise there le no reason why
it should not become a large city.

CANADA'S GIFT TO BRITAIN
Thirty-five Ntillioln Dollars to Build the Three
Strongest Battleships Afloat
despatch from Ottawa says:
The three most powerful battleships
in the world is Canada's proposal
for eupplementing the royal navy,
the cost to be $35,000,000. Premier
Borden so annOunced on 'Thursday
afternoon, saying:
"The situation ie, in roy opinion,
sufficiently grave to demand imme-
diate action, We have asked his
Majesty's Gevernment in what form
temporary and immediate aid can
be given by " Canada at this junc-
ture. The answer Vas been Unhesi-
tating and unequivocal. Let ine
ag,ain quote it:
We have. no hesitation in an-
swering, after a prolonged consid-
eration ofall the circumstances,
thset it is desirable that sueh aid
should include the provision of a
cettaila number of the largest and
stroneest ships of war which science
can build or nioneY supply.'
"Upon enquiry as teethe cost of
sueh a battleship, we were informed
by the Admiralty that it is appeoxi-
Mately C2, 8504000, including arma-
ment and first outfit of ordnarice
stores and ammunition. The total
cost of three such battleships which,
when laun.ched, will be the most
powerful in the world, would be ap-
proximately thirty-five million dol-
lars, and we ask the people of Can-
ada, through their Parliament, to
grant that sum to his Majesty, the
King of Great Britain and Ireland,
and of the overseas Dominions, in
order to increase the effective naval
forces of the Empire -to safeguard
our shores and our sea -borne com-
merce, and to make secure the com-
mon heritage of all who owe alleg-
iance to the King.
Control of Ships.
"The ships will be at the disposal
of his Majesty the King for the com-
mon defence of the Empire. They
will be maintained and controlled
as part of the Reyal Navy, and we
have the assurance that if, at any
time in the future, it shoiald be the
will of the Canadian people to es-
tablish a Canadian unit of the Bri-
tish navy, these vessels can be re-
called by the Canadian Government
to form part of that navy, in which
case, of course, they would be main-
tained by Canada, and not by Great
Britain. In the meantime, I am as-
sured • thet • special arrangements
willhe made to give Canadians the
opportunity of servin,g as officers of
these ships.''
Inforlination From Admiralty.
Some of the information from the
Admiralty was "necessarily of a
very eonfidential e'haracter," but he
submitted . their memorandum,
which laid especial emphasis on the
naval race between Britain and
Germany. Bet while the Admiralty
"set the greatest Store on the im-
portant material, and still more im-
portant moral assistance it is with-
in the power of Canada to give," it
was ,macle plain that no pressure
was being exerted on Canada to
give a decision "which clearly be-
longs solely to Canada." And
whatever might be done, the assur-
ance was given that Britain "has
not lost her capacity, by a wise pol-
icy and ,strenuous -exertions'to
watch 4')ver and preserve the vital
interests of the Empire."
"The Empire," Said the Premier,
ftWaS peculiarly dependent on the
supremacy .of the navy, for not be-
ing a military power, a decisive de-
feat at sea would shatter. the Em-
pire.
"Twelve years ago the British
navy and the British flag were pre-
dominant in every ocean in the
world, and along the shores of every
continent. To -day they are pre-
dominant only on the North Sea,"
he declared. "In 1902 there were
160 ships on foreign and colonial
stations, as against 476 to -day, al-
though naval expenditure had in-
.
creased By 50 per eent..
"The real test of our action is
the existence or non-existence of
absolute security," he asserted.
"History was full of warnings of
the fate of the unprepared. The
Witish flag was not known now on
1;anaela's ooasts.
Fleet For Canada.
"I am assured that the aid which
we propose will enable such specific
arrangements to be consummated,
that, without courting disaster at
home, an effective fleet of battle-
ships and cruisers ean be establish-
ed in the Pacific, and a powerful
equadron can periodically visit our
Atlantic seaboard
"We are now undertaking or be-
ginning a System of regular and
periodical contributions," said the
Premier, and he proceeded to out-
line the Government's proposals,
He was certain that it would take
Canada, 25 or 50 yeave to build a
navy that would ,be "a poor and
weak stibstitute" for "the splendid
organization the Empire now pos-
seeses." Canada could render aid
now "upon just and self-respecting
terms."'
'Aid for Ship -Budding.
The ships weeld be built in Rd-
taim Canada had not the facilities
brild the hulks, and to provide
them would be to waste twelve tail-
lion dollars additional expense. But
"to assist Canadian hip -building the
Admiralty was PreVared to give or-
ders to Canadian yards for cruisers,
oil -tank veeels, eta. and Canada,
would defray the ex;ra eostan
ada's three ships would bear his.
fork Canadian names.
Sum Not Excessive.
The amount involved -was "mod-
erate and reaeonable." Argentina
in four years hid spent over, $65,,
000,000 on the navy. From 1870--90
Britain had spent $125,000,000 to
$150,000,000 on the North Atlantic
squadrons, and from 1853-1903, over
$100,000,000 on military defence in
Canada.
The Premier described the work
of the British committee on Imper-
ial defence, and added ;--
"I' am assured by H. M. Govern-
ment that pending a final solution
of the question of voice and influ-
ence, they would welcome the pre-
sence in London of a Canadian. Min-
ister during the whole or portion of
each year. No important step in
foreign policy would be undertaken
without consultation with such a,
representative."
And in conclusion he said: "We
invite the statesmen of Great Bri-
tain to study with es the real prob-
lem of Imperial existence."
British ,Opinion.
A despatch from London says :
The announeementof Canada's
proposed purchase of three Dread-
noughts for the Imperial navy is
made the leading feature of the
entire press. Premier Borden's
speech in introducing the bill ap-
propriating $35,000,000 for this pur-
poze is printed in full by aJi the
papers, which in editorials welcome
Canada's gift, and eulogize the pa-
triotisin of the Dominion in unstint-
ed and glowing terms.
Coincident with the announce-
ment ef the Canadian gi.f-t the Ad-
miralty issued a statement pre-
pared for the Canadian Government
at its request setting forth the re-,
quirements of the Empire for naval
defence.

GREECE
Is
Declares She Acted in Accordance With
of the Other Balkan States
espa rom Athe3as says: It
is officially announced that Greek
plenipotentiaries will participate in
the peace negotiations. A semi-
official statement, issued on Thurs-
day night, protests against inter-
preting the fact that Greece did not
sign'the armistioe as proof that dis-
sensions exist among the allies, and
declares that it was by agreement
of the, allies that Greece -adopted an
attitude different from that of the
other States. The explanation is
given that Greece's course was due
to her anxiety that her naval action
should not be 'interrupted in the
Ionian Sea, in order to prevent the
revictualling., of •the Turkish army
in Epirus, and in the Aegean Sea,
in orderto .prevent the transport of
Turkish troops to Thrace, with re-
epeet10 whibh Greece considered
the interest of her ' allies rather
than her own. The. chances for the
conclusion of "'peace would have suf-
fered from the reinforceraent of the
Laarclanelles and Tchatalja garri-
sons.
The statement refers to the Turco -
Italian treaty; recently signed as
proof that it is not necessary that
peace negotiations shall be pre-
oecled by an armistice.
Turkish Guerilla Attacked.
A despatch from Salonika, Euro-
pean Turkey, says : A force of
Greek troops on Thursday severely
defeated and punished 1,000 Turks
who were pillaging the Tillage of
Boyatisce, according to a report
from the headquarters of the Greek
Wishes
army, The Turks are said to fiave
lost 330 pen killed and wounded,
Forty of them were taken prisoners,
The Turks a:re:alleged to. be, carry-
ing on guerilla tactics,pillaging,
burning, and committing outrages.
Austria' e Denaands.
A Vienna despatch to the London
Daily Telegraph says: "The Aus-
trian Government is looking for-
ward with calra confidence to the
end of the peace negotiations in
the belief, which I am trustworth-
ily infoxraed is justified, that her
demands will be satisfied. But
peace must be made quickly, for
the commercial losses caused by
the prolonged crisis are making the
whole people daily more discentene
ted„ and undue delay would cause
fresh trouble. '
"There is no reason, however,
why the negotiations should not be
brief. Bulgaria and Turkey are
already as one, and when peace is
ooncluded they will be 'still th.)ser
together. The treatment of Albania
is the ,most likely to occupy time
in the negotiations. IServia is sure
th raise the question of Darazzo
and Alessi°, but Turkey knowing
that. whatever _happens Albania
will never again be a part of the
Turkish Empire, will probably not
raise a dispute over any claims put
forward for any portions thereof.
Turkey knows also that the final
arrangements for Albania, will not
be for the Balkan allies, but for
the European powers." '
