•GREEKS 'CAPTURE JANINA
Turkish Garrison of 32,000 Men Surrender to the
Greek Army
'A despatch from Athens, Greece,
„Bays Tho Turkish fortress of Ja-
nina, the key to tlio possession of
the province of Epirus,- with its
garrison of 32,000 men, surrendered
to, the Greek army on Thursday, af-
ter a defence which forms ono of the
Most brilliant episodes of the Bal-
kan war. The .surrendur was pre-
• ceded by fierce bombardment

Yiights, ‘, Every available gun, in -
I eluding a number of heavy Elowitz-
ronrs, lent by the Servian artillery,

ryn the forts defending the beleag-
uered city. No' leWer than 30,000
shells nve.re fired by the Greek guns
during the first day's, cannonade.
Gradually the Turkish batteries at
Bizahi, Manollar, Salmi, and else-
where were silenced under the sus-
tained fire of projectiles. The
Greek commanders by a feint led
the Turks to believe that their
at-
tack would be made front the right,
and as soon as the. attention of the
defenders hod been distracted the

f_antry,on to the Turkish left. The

The batteries on the heights of
Brzani, which had been the main-
stay of the defence, were unable to
stand the pelting of the ,shells, and
had been reduced to complete sil-
ence by 11 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, The Greeks pushea-their
forward movement during the after-
noon, and occupied the 'Burkish
batteries in Sakni and Elas Hills,
capturing all the guns and one
hundred and ten artillerymen.
Then the Greek battalions gradual-
ly deployed on to the plain in front
of the city itself, and the Turkish
flight became general despite all
the efforts of the Ottoman officers
to rally their men. Whole detach-
ments succumbed to the panie and

ceived here on Wednesday from Dr.
Douglas Mawson, the leader of the

hardship. •The wireless message
• received from Dr. Mawson, who is
"now in Adelieland, says:
"On December 4, 1911, while we
•were exploring a, new °oast line
three hundred miles to the south-
.
east of our winter quarters, Lieut,
Ninnis, with a dog team and with
almost all our food, 'disapearecl in
an unfathomable crevasse, Dr.
Mertz and myself, with an inade-
quate supply of provisions • and
with six starving dogs, then started
over the plateau for our hut. Bad
weather retarded our progress, and
we subsisted chiefly on dogs. On
January 17, 1912, D. Mertz died,
the cause og his death arising from
mainutrition. On February 7, I ar-
rived at the hut alone, having trav-
elled through anow and fog, and
having miraculously been guided by
Providence through the heavily
orevassed areas. The steamer Au-
rora waited at the base until wea-
ther conditions made it no longer
safe. She left a few hours before
my arrival at the hut. Six men
were left there by the Aurora to
prosecute a search, for the members
of our party."

The West 18 flaeliolnIng.
Mr. James made. a comment that was
surprleing to mealy of his audience in
connection with the opening up of West-
ern Canada. Ile demonstrated thht ae far'
as the cost of living in thie country is
concerned, the new population in the West

omitted population is simply adding to
the. ooneuming population of the country.
On the other hand, the rural population
of .Eastern Canada during the last ten
years had declined lw about 47,000 people,
while Coo city or urban population of the

1,250,000. In thesc” figures. Mr. James
thought, lay. ono of the chief causes for
the great advance in the cost of living in
Canada. The consumers had increased,
the producere 'had declined in number, It
WAS inevitable that the law of supply and
demand abould rule. Mr. Jainea followed
this up with the startling deolarationthat
in hie opinion it would be better for the
Government, instead of spending thirty,

it on good roads in Old Ontario and the

In this .aonneation Mr. James pointed
out that Canada, generally regardedat
an agricultural conntry, is a large -1m-
porter 'of food stuffs. British Columbia,
for example, imports 516,000,000 worth of
table Products annually, and little Now
Brunswiek. another agricultural provinte,
imports $4,000,000 'worth.
Mr Jantes outlined what it was proposed
to do with the 510,000,000 now being grant-
ed by the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture for the increase of agricultural

The Toronto Exhibition Association has
only'one meeting a year, but it manages
to thee* around that gathering sonic of
the' glamor of national importance, which
it secures for the .Big Show itSelf. For
example, at the annual Meeting this year
no. loss than three Cabinet Mimsters were
in attendance. There *as the Honorable
James Duff, who from his position as Min-
ister of Agriculture takes 'a keen interest
in all exhibitions, and who isan enthusi-
astic member of the Toronto h'xhibition
Association; then there was the Minor -
able W. 20, Hearst, whose special interest
is New Ontario, which always has a prom-
inent exhibit at the fair. and the third
Minister was the Honorable Dr. Pyne.
Minister of Education, whose interest is
elieited on account of the educational Dm -
Urea which the' Fair seeks to introduee.
Each was called upon to make a speech,
and responded with a few brief sentencet
of a congratulatory natere, delivered in
characteristic etyle, Mr. Duff inclined to
be flowery. Mr. Nesest forcible and down-
right, and Dr. Pyne the dignified and
euave gentleman.
