The Exeter Times, 1920-7-8, Page 7PRIME MINTER TENDERS
RESIGNATION TO GOVERNOM INFRA
New Party Formed With the Title "National Liberal and
Conservative Pally."
A despatch from Ottawa says:--.
Sir Robert Borden will lay dawn at
tho„,earliest possible date the power
and authority of his office as Prime
Minister of Canada, and with. them the
duties and responsibilities which have
lately weighed upon him. Before long
another will reign at the head of the
Government and of the party which
he formed for the prosecution of the
war and which as to endure in" the
piping times of peace under the title
of the "National Liberal and Conserva-
tive Government."
The Prince Minister at the caucus
of his Parliamentary followers held on
the anniversary of the birth of the
Canadian Confederation, stated his de-
sire and 'his intention to resign the
office which he 'has held for almost
nine years. "He announced," to quote
the official memorandum subsequently
issued, "his inability to sustain longer
the very heavy burdens and vast re-
aponsib:ldties imposed upon ,him as.
Prime Minister, and he asked the
members of the caucus to give lhian
the honorable discharge to which he
felt he was entitled."
The. same gathering which rece'ved
Sir Robert's declaration of his own
plans also took the final step toward
the perpetuation of the Union. To the
statement of policy which the Prime
Minister originally prepared nine
months ago, and which has since been
con,sddered by his followers, the caucus
gave its approval. To the party which
will stand before the Canadian people
upon the platform now enumerated
the caucus gave the name of "Nation-
al Liberal and Conservative Party"
National as typifying its .scope and
aspirations and "Liberal and Conser-
vative" as defining the elements com-
posing it.
Prior to the general caucus the
Liberal -Unionists had a gathering in
camera and decided to stand by any
man chosen by the larger gathering,
also to agree to the fusion of the Lib-
eral and Conservative identities.
By those present at the Historic
caucus, insistence is laid en the spirit
of harmony which dominated the pro-
eeedings. "The two groups have be-
come one," it was authenitabively
stated.
It is proposed, in the formation of
the new Government, to make a re-
duction in the number of portfolios.
PARADE OF V.C. HEROES
STIRS ALL BRITAIN
His Majesty Entertains Win-
ners at Buckingham Palace.
A despatch from London says:-
Loadon has had a little aftermath of
the war -an aftermath which thrilled
and deeply moved thousands who came
not only from all parts of the city
but from every miner of the British
Isles to witness the spectacle. Great
Britain's Victoria Gross heroes, whose
deers will make this nation's history,
pDsen oars of the little braes cross
which only acts of highest valor and
self--act-lila can win, marched from
Weliinalea Barracks to Buckingham
Patacr, 350 strong.
Tli*oe'were th,e guests of King
George at a garden party, they and;
seven hundre.l ethers, for each reci-!

., : ally j:+ was a father and a mother who
arfed each V. C. through the'
he c.b'orshipp:ng crowd that had
gathered about the palace.
It was perhaps the most wonderful
part of London's war story, certainly
second only to last year's great victory,
parade -this garden party of golden.
deeds. Ordinarily one possessor of a'
V. C. is sufficient attraction to keep,
any community in a state of idolatry,'
but here o • rubbed elbows with hun-'
dreds of heroes whose •deeds,: anany of
them unbe:. e singly brilliant, had been,
the inspiration for millions of others'
during the war. There were officers
and privates, men maimed and blinded
and some wheeled in chairs. There
was the oldest V. C., Sir Digh'ben
Probyn, mere than eighty years of
age, and .the youngest, Sergeant.
Smith, nineteen. On the coats of all i

Month's Fatalities
in New York 187 a
A despatch from New York says:-
All records for highway fatalities in L
ew York State were broken last
month, when 137 persons were killed
by automobiles, wagons, trains and
trolley cars, according to the report of
tbo National Highway Protective T
Society issued here, This figure ex- e
ceeds by 66 deaths the casualty list h
of June, 1918, which was the nearest Cl
to date. In New York city automo-
biles caused the death of 62 persons. fi
Prepare for Irish Riots
vin Orange Day
is learned that feather heavy rein=
forcements are going to Ireland this
week, many of them, to the north of
Ireland, in order to prepare for July
12, tlhe great Orange day, upon which
even the mora hopeful fear a repetition
of the Londonderry riots on a huge.
scale. It sr eported that the Gov-.
e nment has requested the Ulster
men not to hold their usual par
-
,ades and processions cn that day,
but it is impossible to confirm
this, and according to reports
from Belfast, Ulster will make a great
denhonstration of her loyalty to the
British Empire on that occasion.

A despatch from London, Ont.,
says: -Sir Adam Beck, while using
a private telephone instrument in
one hand and' a Bell telephone
n the other 'hand, suffered a
hock of 550 volts through the
rivate line being short-circuited
gainst a heavily charged transmis-
ion line. Sir Adam was almost lifted
ut of his chair, but though he narrow -
y escaped electrocution he suffered

TURK NATIONALISTS
DEFEAT GREEKS
Several Thousand Prisoners
Reported Captured.
A' despatch from Constantinople
says: -The Sultan received word from
Brousaa on Thursday of a big victory
by the Turkish Nationalists over the
Greeks. Pergama was captured from
the Hellenes, and several thousand
Greek casualties are reported.
These has been no official Greek bat-
tle communique for two _days.
There is great exultation among the
Turks in Constantinople because of
the victory of the Nationaldaits over
the Greeks in the vicinity of Pergama,
where Mustapha Rental Pasha's forces
are reported to have outflanked the
Greeks and to be moving northwards
towards Panderma (60 miles south-
west of 'Constantinople on the Sea of
Marmora), taking several thousand
prisoners.
There have been no official Greek
communiques for two days, and the
Turkish newspapers are not permitted
to pant news unfavorable to the
Greeks, but the Turks generally credit
the reports of Mustapha Kemal's suc-
cess.

Britain's :Recovery.
The British Government's plans for
reducing the British war debt are ma-
turing satisfaetoraly. The ChanoeIlor
of the Exchequer told in the House of
Commons on Thursday night that the
joint Anglo-French loan in the United
States, due October 15 next, will be
redeemed in full. Since April U5,-
000,000
15;000,000 in'Treasury bills held in New
York have been taken up. Great Bri-
tain is deflating heir currency, to lift
exchange with the United States to
par and to get back once more en a
real gold basis. The British people
are making greet present sacrifices to
recover their old standing in the
world's conamiemce and finance.
Heavy taxes -far exceeding those
levied in, Canada -are being borne
without much complaint. They ane
accepted .as inevitable and salutary.
•Chamberlain estimated in his; bud-
get speech last April that, through ad-
ditional taxes and deereased expendi-
ture, the present fiscal year would end
with a surplus revenue of £234,000,000
-about $1,000,000,000. Of this ex-
eess abaut $360,000,000 will be applied,
to reduce the floating debt.
Prospects for the following year are
evenbrighter. The Chancellor expects
to have a surplus in 1921-'22 of 2800,-
000,000 -nearly $1,500,000,000 half
of which will be applied to the float-
ing debt. It is. the Chancellor's hope
:that the entire floating debt can be
When You Go Camping
For one night camps in a settle
section of the country it is proper and
distinctly advisable to procure permis-
exon to pitch the camp in somebody's
d vail in order to make camp life thor-
oughly enjoyable.
A tent should be well staked down
and guyed in order to shed water and
resist a windstorm properly.
A shallow V shaped trench on the
uphill aide, and with the apex furthest
from the tent wall, the wings reach-
ing well beyond the tent's corners,
will, in case of a storm, lead the water
, to each side of the tent andprevent
the floor from getting soaked.
Of course the food supply of a camp-
ing party will vary according to taste
and the money expended. It is not
'necessary on motor car camping tours
to carry a big quantity of groceries.
and. canned goods, as supplies may
generally be procured at numerous
places during the day's journey and
thus be readily replenished at fre-
quent intervals, so as to save weight
and bulk. However, enough for at
least a couple of days rations should
always be carried in case of accident
or emergency, and if a mare perman-
ent camp is established in a more or
leas remote region a larger supply ie
naturally necessary.
Herewith are some suggestions for
the commissary, the quantity depend-
ing on the size of the party':
Salt pork, bacon, smoked ham, can-
ned meats and fish, concentrated
soups, butter, lard or vegetable sub-
stitute,
evaporated milk or milk pow. 34
der, prepared pancake flour, corn �
meal, flour, cereals, baking powder, 60
fresh bread, vegetables and fruit when
obtainable, potatoes, lice, dehydrated to
vegetables, canned hatred beans, col-
fee, tea, unsweetened chocolate, gran.- 65
leted sugar, syrup, preserves or jellies, 58
vinegar,. plenty of lemons, pickles, d
evaporated apples, seedless raisins, t
canned pineapples, tomatoes and corn, ro
salt, pepper, cayenne, olive oil, mus- . 40
ard, tomato ketchup, fresh eggs,
graham crackers and a dozen boxes of $5
afoty matches,. 5
grove, or wood lot, or may be orchard.
Such permission is rarely refused if
the request is accompanied with a pro-
mise to leave no litter on the ground
when leaving. Toward the evening
select a .suitable spot that appeals
near a farmhouse where usually may
precured fresh milk and eggs and
probably even a loaf of home made
bread or a jar of home preserved fruit.
If possible camp on high ground, not
too near water, on account of mos-
quitoes.
For a more permanent eamp it is of
course advisable to choose the site
with greater care, especially keeping
in view the proximity of wood and
water. Pitch the tent preferably on
elevated and slightly sloping ground
and avoid hollow places. If possible,
choose a partly shaded spot, but near
the open. Never choose a site near
dead timber or dense woods, to avoid
fire danger, as well as• bugs and in-
sects.
Each member of a party should
have his or her allotted task. Thus,
while, one gets out the tent, erects it
and prepares the cots • and bedding,
another will get the stove, If one is
used, ready and unpack the pots, pans;
dishes and food, while still another,
if there are that many in the party,
will hustle the wood, light the fire and
bring the water. Should there be a
fourth member, it will be his or her lot
to wash the dishes and pots when the
meal is over, a task which had best
be shifted . from time to time, as no-
body likes to wash dishes. The main
thing is that everybody is a "good
ellow," willing to do his or her share,
n truth, "willing hands make light t
work. A slacker is sure to spoil the
good comradeship which should pre- 1

Such financial recuperation on Great
Britain's part is the best assurance of
economic recovery in Europe. What
Great Britain does Fran a can also
eventually do. And France and Great'
Britain together should the able to

in the trying times of readjustment,

Cyril Maude's Story.
Queen Mary, it is said, declares that
the funniest story she ever heard is
this one, which Cyril Maude tells
apropos• his • visit to America. A wo-
man was taken to see Niagara Falls.
For a few moments she was fascin-
ated. Then, suddenly, she exclaimed,
in agonized• accents, "And that re-
minds me -I'm sure I left the bath tap
running," and made tracks for home.
