The .surrendur was pre- • ceded by fierce bombardment lasting without cessation for two Yiights, ‘, Every available gun, in - I eluding a number of heavy Elowitz- ronrs, lent by the Servian artillery, , ?was brought to bear by the Clreekb 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 G reeks hurled large bodies of f_antry,on to the Turkish left. The "-ottoman tioops, utterly suranised, f ell back in disorder. 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 Joined in a mad race into the city with the Greek troops ia hot pur- suit almost to the walls, With all the defending batteries in the hands of the Greeks, and the Hellenic soldiers at the gates of Janina, Easae,d Pasha, tho Turkish coinmander, at 6 o'clock on Thurs- day morning esent aneseers'under a gag of truce to Crown Prince Con,stantine of Greskee, announcing the surrender of the city and all the troops under his coinonan,d. EXPLORERS' TRAGIC END Lieut. Ninnis Disappeared In an Unfathomable Cre- vasse—Dr. Mertz Died From Malnutrition 'A despathh from Sydneyt N.S.W., •says: Details of the tragic ending ' of Lieut. B. E. S. Ninms of the Royal Eueeilliers Regiment, and Dr, Xavier Mertz, champion ski jumper of the ,world, who met with_ death ihi the frozen South Polar yegions while members of the Australian :Antarctic expedition, were bold in ta wireless telegraph xneseage re- ceived here on Wednesday from Dr. Douglas Mawson, the leader of the %expedition, who also suffered great 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." FIFTY KILLED BY DYNAMITE Disastrous Explosion Near Baltimore Caused Big -Buildings In the City to Rock "A despatch • from Baltimore, )11ary1and, says; Fifty lives were probably lost and forty persons' hurt when the British ship Alum Chine, loading with dynamite for the Panama Canal, blew up off Hawkin's Point on Friday morn- ing. A barge with 340 tons of dy- namite alongside also ,blew up. It Is believed fire .caused the explo- sion. At least four of the crews' of the vessels. were killed; others leaped into the water. Three of the crew of the U. S. collier ja,son, 700 feet away, were killed and ten fate* hurt, the ship's upper 'maks being swept away: Six of the crew , • of the tug Atlantic lying alongsisle the Alum Chine were killed and the tug practically . destroyed. Forty stevedores are enaccounted for. If they were on the steamer it is con- sidered certain that they Perished. The tremendous explosion shook the country for miles around. Win- dow were broken and chimneys knocked off housee a dozen or more miles from the scene of the clisae- ter. • At Sparrows Point a school house was partly destroyed and sev- eral children hurt. Baltimore was shaken as if by; an earthquake and tall buildings in the centre of the city were rocked by the shock. • DOES IT 110DE WAR? Prance and Germany' Adding , . Re- euits to Their Armies.

James, former Deputy Minieter of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario and now Advisory Expert fer the, Dominion Department of Agrieulture, In his address to the Canadian Oloth. want to tall you," be Raid emphati- cally, "that the farmer is not getting too much." In illustration Ile quoted the fact that a bag of potateee whioh costs 900., $1.00 or $1.25 in Toronto, yields to the far- mer who Brows them, probably in Carle. ton County, New Brunswiels, not more than 30c.. and the milk which sells in Toronto for 10e. a quart yields the farmer probably only 41 -So. a. quart. , , "Me farmer who geta 41.20. a quart la not gettiug to,, much," he said, "but the city mau who pays 10o. a quart is paying too ranch." Mr. James maintained that the system c.f 'distribution was all wrong, though, ho eaid, there was no use calling the middle man hard names, because he was simply working under conditiona' as they exist and earning an honest living, Mr. Tamen waa dismissing the cost of living, and it was an attentive group. of 260 city men he was addressing.

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 is doing nothing to ameliorate conditions. Pape :taw Ire produaers in one sense of the Wad, the stuff they Pa preduciiist-- wheat, oats. flax -is praetically ail for ea. port, so that as a matter of feet the in. 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 (solitary had -inoreaeed liy no lets than 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, forty or fifty milliou dollars for rail. ways to onou up now area in the North• west, to take a srmilar amount and /Mend it on good roads in Old Ontario and the other settled portiono of Eastern Canada. 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 knowledge and training, the purpose bc. ing to teach the fanners how to Increase the amount of their produce.
