There was no ceremonial parade or review of any kind 'when Hs Ron] Highness the Duke of Connaugla, ac- companied by the ductless and PrIn- ceiss Patricia, visited Carta) Borden Monday. It was the farewell of the duke to Camp Borden; it was ale() the last time of MS being on parade during hie term of office in Caeade, He announced this during a speech he raade Monday afteraoon to the of- ficers. The duke was dressed as a staff officer, wearing a khaki uulform and cap decorated with red band and gold braid. He appeared in excellent health and spirits, His inspection of the camp was most thorough, includ- ing not only the regular tented area, but also the • special schools of in- struction and the manoeuvres areas. During his five and a half houxe' stay at this camp he travelled 25 miles by motor car, accompanied by Major-General W. A. Logie, Colonel S. C.

Press Bureau Says One Raider Was Seriously Damaged. •LONDON, Sept. 5.—An ofiloial staterhent, issued by the German ad- miralty Monday telling of the zep- pelineraid on tire southeastern coun- ties of 'England 4a.st Sunday night, was received Moaday. It said: "During the night of Sept. 2 sev- eral airship detaelaments bombarded the fortress of London and fortieed places of Yarinouth and Harwich, as well as factories and places of strate- gical importance in the,southeastern counties and on the Humber. Efery- where good effects were observed." Commenting on the abave state- raent the British press bureau says: "The damage done, that is to say, practically nil, is exactly what was reported in the official communique. There were no conflagrations of meg ieaportance and no explosions. "There, moreover, is the strongest reason to believe that another air- ship in addition to the one destroyed was very seriously damaged." WELCOMED CANADIANS. British Trades Union Congress Opens at Birmingham. BIRMINGHAM, Eng., Sept. 5.—In opening the trades union congress here yesterday the president, Harry Gosling-, said that in order to prove that internatiortaiism was not dead the congress was welcoming frater- nal delegates from Canada, the United States, France, and Belgium. Many things ireere in the melting pot at the present time of anxiety, he continued; and in the emergency thousands of trade unionist's had given their lives wellingly because they deemed. the sacrifice essential for the purpose of national deferige. Referring to the fact that the -anions were urging establishment of a ministry of labor and the increase of old age pensions to ten shillings weekly, he said, the people had sub- mitted to every form of taxation for war requirements. 'To what would they not submit for peace requirements?" he asked. LEADING TOWN TneliteEN. British Naval and Land Forces Have Occupied Dar-es-Salaam.

Hender- son was found by Mrs. Tulloch, the landlady, who traced the smell of gas to the old man's roora.

Prime Minister Is in Feel Control of the Situation, and With Ilse Sup. port of the Veyeeelist Pate), le Beady to Line Greece Up Witb the Allies—German Agente At Being Expelled. ATHENS, Sept. 5, via London.— Seizing the opporturtity offered De the presence at Piraeus, within gun- shot of Athens, of a large fleet of the Eetertte nations, Premier Zaimis bas assumed ungetrusively what amounts virtually to dictatorial powers. All is now in readinees for the final act to end the neutrality of Greece. While the people of Athens were being mildly amused at the spectacle ef allied sailors and secret police persuing German agents about tbe streets of the city, a profound change in the status of affairs was effected quietly. Premier Zaimis is now in a position to swing the whole country as he will, unembarrassed by any dis- senting popular opinion or hostile parliamentary control. The first step which placed full powers in the hands of Premier Zaimis was tak-en when he forbade public gatherings 'este Wedneeday. The arrangement of Friday, whereby the issuance of the decree dissenting the now ad- journed parliament and calling new election, was postponed indefinitely A daeposed effectually of any parlia- mentary interferenoe with the policy of the Government. Finally, the Premier Sunday requested and re- celeed the unqualified support of the Leaders of the Venizelos Parte and of toile party opposed to Venizelos, thus giving the present temporary cabinet a politically representative character and completing the meces- sary preparations which may be de- cided on by the ministry behind closed doors. Greece may now find herself at war overnight at tbe bid - cling of a single individual, who is neither Ring Constantine nor former Prevaier Venizelos. Meanwbile tbe Allies are rapidly ridding Atbens and Piraeus of Aus- trian and German agents. The Greek Government has ac- cepted the demands of the Entente powers in their entirety, and agents of the French and British Govern- ments are taking over the control of postal and telegraphic communica- tions. Baron von Scbwenek, chief direc- tor of the German propaganda in Greece, has been arrested and. taken on beard it cruiser of the Entente Allies. Sixteen additional warships of the Entente powers have arrived at Piraeus. It is impossible to separate the chaff from the grain owing to the complete isolation of Athens. For 48 hours the Greey capital -was com- pletely cut off from the world. Just before midnight Saturday despatches came through, bearing Friday's date, from .Athens. One was from the eorrespondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company, and said that 30 Allied warships, accompanied by transport's, had arrived off Piraeue, the port of Athens. Part of the fieet is reported lying in Salamis and Phaleron Bays. The other despatch announced the postponement of the Greek elections. Neither touched on the question, which holds London, and, indeed, the whole world, irt a fever of interest as to the fate of King Constantine. From the fragmentary despatches which have reached London it is de- duced by some observers that changes of decisive character al- ready have taken place in Athens and that the de facto Government of Greece has decided to abandon neu- trality and range itself on the side of the Entente .Allies. Other experts take a more conservative view, The Times editorially attaching small im- portance to Wednesday's revolution- ary movement at Salonica, declaring that this is completely overshadowed by the news of the appearance of Entente Allied ships off Piraeus. "This must be taken to indicate," says The Times, "that the Allies are wearied of 'the equivocations, which have so long prevailed in Athens, and are resolved to baffle the intrigues of their enemies." A message from the correspondent of the Reuter Agency at Salonica says regarding the abdication of King Constantine: "Pending confirma- tion the report must be received with all reserve." BIG CROWD AT EXHIBITION. Labor Day at Toronto Almost Broke 1913 Record. TORONTO, Dee. U.—There were 147,500 people at the Exhibition Monday, as compared with 141,000 on the corresponding day last year. On Labor Day, 1913, the record year, the attendance was 154,000. Monday was one of tbe few oc- casions on which the Exhibition grounds, large as they are, seemed inadequate to hold the immense throng tbat gathered, the grounds from end to end being crowded, and in many places packed by the visit - ars who took advantage of the holi- day to see the Exhibition. Although the regular Labor Day parade was not held, omens to the ab- sence of so many members of the labor organizations with overseas units, the sports held under the aus- pices of the Distriet Trade ss and Labor Council were as popular as eeer, and the baby show, another re- gular featere, was up to the average, although fewer babies Were sbown thin last year. The opentng of the dog show and new military features also added iaterest to the dayes pro- ceedings. Turk Positions on Tigris Bombed.

Being pleased with what we hare is not a bad prescription for insomnia. We rebel against good babits simply because they are habits perhaps and not because we are vicious. Desiring Inordinately wbat you can by no means afford is an excellent way of cultivating. pessimism. A man isn't innocent merely because he is a bystander. Being good to himself is the spe- cialty of the ordinary man. Masculine influence is generally too strong to permit e pretty woman to be a sensible WOtnan. Cottage is parole' a physical tbing and is dependent, more or less, on what you bad or did not bare for din- ner last night—that is, moral coinage. Many a sbaft at rtunlOrn sent had its target brOadly ticketed long before the how was draWn. When truth is stretched too far the reaction is setnetimes sudden, sewift end-surprisleg.
