Death, But Banishment For Life. A despatch from London says:- William HohcnzolIern, the former Get- man Emperor, will be brought to Eng - lend in a British ship and imprisoned in the Tower of London, according to the Daily Mail. The death penalty will not be sought, the newspaper points out, but if lie is found guilty, the allies will ask his banishment for life to a re- mote island, following the precedent of Napoleon's exile on St. Helena, The international trial •court had intended to try the former Emperor alone, the Daily Mail says, but it is possible that the former Crown Prince. Frederick William will also be ar- raigned before it. The eformer German Emperor's guards ds at Amerongen have been in - created, according to the Daily Mail correspondent, and his staff has been reduced. Lieut, -Gen, von Estorff has left for Berlin. Well- informed circles in The Hague, this correspondent says, do not believe that Holland will give the ex -Emperor up to the allies. They are of the opin- ion that he will remain in Holland for the rest of his life, Markets of the World Breedatuffs.

WORLD'S FASTEST CAMERA Two Miles a Second Speed of One Recently Invented. A wonderful new invention is a camera made by Professcr H. B. Dixon, a Manchester man, which re- cords on a film anything traveling at a speed of close to two miles a second. He has constructed the fast- est camera in the world, usually airing a hundred yards of film photo- graph in a second. This speed is net fast enough, how- ever, for the professor's purpose, and se is now busy studying the flame of explosions created by alcohol, petrol, nd other motor fuels. He tests them ingly and in mixtures, and is Intent n photographing the flame of an ex- losion traveling at a speed of 3,000 yards a second. He has succeeded in getting his lms to record a flame traveling at his speed by fixing on the camera lens that reduces each image to one- welfth of the ordinary size and sat- ing the camera at right angles to he lines along which the flame ravels. The exact measurements Professor Leon has obtained are likely to have great effect on the production of ritish motor fuel. Attached to his arvelous camera is a delicate time - lace that measures the travel of the ame down to the ten -thousandth of second, and with these new instru- ants the professor is making precise seoveries of the firing -point of all e new kinds of motor fuel. He corn - eases them in a steel cylinder and en fires them under the eye of the mere. t D O a o B ✓ fl a ,m o di th pr tie ea Provisions -Wholesale.

Peculiarities of Head Development Are Present in Most Gases. Many criminals who might other- wise have escaped have been detect- ed by the abnormal development of their heads. Professor Lombroro, a great crimi- nologist, said that it was his opinion. that all criminals except thieves had remarkable heads. Charles Peace is a striking example, for his head was an enormous size, whilst his ears were very prominent. Irregular heads are another feature in criminals of all classes. The thief possesses this peculiarity in addition to a remarkably small head. The lower part of the face has always a heavy appearance, and crime experts declare that the weight of the lower jaw is far above that of an ordinary man. Young thieves often have a number of freckles and wrinkles which are strongly marked, CANADIAN CATTLE FOR BELGIAN FARMS A despatch from Brussels says: - One hundred head of Canadian cattle purchased by the Department of Ravitaillement have arrived at Ant- werp.

Petrol Supply Almost Exhausted. Mineola, N. Y., July G. -Great Bed Cain's 'super -dirigible R-84, the firs lighter -than -air machine to cross the Atlantic Ocean, anchored here at Roosevelt Flying Field, at 9,64 aim to -day (1.54 p.m. Greenwich mean time), after an aerial voyage of 108 fours and 12 minutes; which covered 3,600 miles from East Fortune, Scot- land. When the super -Zeppelin ar- e rived here she had left only enough h petrol to keep her moving ninety min- utes longer. Her crew 'of thirty Per- o sons, almost 'sleepless.for four and t a half days, were weary almost to the point of exhaustion, but happy at the . successful complotion of the epoch- im- making trip. The return voyage pro- • bably will be started at 8 a, Tues- day. The R-34 was forced to cruise 2,050 lcnots to reach Trinity Bay, Nfld., from East Fortune, Scotland, and 1,080 knots from there to Mineola, Haggard, unshaven, their eyes bloodshot from the long vigil, and lines of care bitten deep into their faces, Major G. H. Scott, the com- mander, and his officers showed' plain- ly the effect of the anxious hours through which they lived yesterday while they were cruising over the far reaches of Canada and :the Bay of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy winds and terrific electrical storms, "It seemed as though the 'atmos- phere was haunted by 5,000 devils," said Lieut. Guy Harris, the meteor- ological officer. With the R-34 long overdue at its dbstiecation•, with its PetrolPetrolsupply running low, and buffeted by strong head winds, Major Scott decided yesterday while over the Bay 'of Fundy to send a wireless call to the American Navy Department to be prepared to give assistance if it were needed. This was merely a measure of precaution, and did not indicate discouragement. While de- stroyers and subchasers were racing to her- assistance, the R-84 was plugging steadily -ahead on the way to Mineola. Once clear of the Bray of Fundy the atmospheric hoodoo which had beset the craft from the - time it took the air was gradually t left in its wake.

Inasmuch as war is still being wag- ed in many campaigns in Europe, and while peace still remains to be signed with three' of the enemy nations, the Government of Canada were of spin- ion that a later date would be more appropriate.

Hsyleybury, July 4. -For the time eingg all serious danger from forest fires has passed. All day Friday the weather throughout the north continued show- ery, at least in the districts beginning at Boston Creek on the south, and Cochrane and' Porcupine on the north. The rain began to fall' at all the points of danger at an hour ranging from about three to five o'clock this morning, and this has •been followed by intermittent showers. The rain is expected to hold the fires within bounds for the time being. It is considered unfortunate that bush fires should have gained such headway so early in the summer, and the rains of to -day will only suffice to constitute a temporary check. A prolonged wet spell 'will be necessary to put the fires out completely. On the other hand, another pro- ke:r•ed dry spell would permit the present smoldering fires to spring into• renewed life, All appears to be safe for the present, but the summer is yet very young, it is reasonable to expect that residents in the various parts of the north will not permit themselves to fall into a spate of false security, but rather will maintain careful vigilance and prevent as far as possible the recurrence of 'ci forest flue outbreak.

King and Queen Took Part in Rejoic- ings of Throngs That Surrounded, Buckingham Palace, The official seal was set on the re- port of the signing of peace by the booming of guise, says a London des- patch. The West End was filled with joyous crowds, hut the rejoicings foil far below those witnessed on armistice day: The announcement of the signing was made from stages of theatres and music halls at the matinee perform- ances, and the audiences snug Britannia!" and "God Save the King." Trafalgar Square and its neighbor- hood were unusually crowded, but this was due to the desire to watch the Victory Loan procession, organized by women, rather than to the spirit of celebration, The Royal Family Take Part. As the guns began firing, giving a strangely familiar imitation of an air raid defense, the King and Queen, ac- companied by the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary, appeared on the bal. cony at Buckingham Palace. A crowd 10,000 strong had gathered there some time before, and as the cheers event up there was a rush from all parts' of the nearby parks to reinforce it. For three-quarters of an hour the royal family stood in presence of the people, and the scene had that simple homely English touch which marked the armis- tice celebrations. The crowd was composed of people of all ages and callings. The band, hastily got together from Guards re- giments at' Wellington Barracks, in- terspersed national airs with hymne and popular songs, and the Icing made a brief speech of thanks and congratu- lations. "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "The Marseiilaise" were two of the national anthems played, besides the British, and, as the band broke into "Tipperary," there were smiles which turned into something snspic iously like tears. 'Twas good to know that the "long, long way" was traversed at last, but the air brought back too many memor- ies of 1914 to be sung very heartily - 'The Prince was honored with his own anthem, "God Bless the Prince of \Vales," and then the Queen turned to Princess Mary, who was standing in the background, and bade her take her place between the Icing and herself. The Princess eves greeted with a groat burst of cheers as she bowed to the crowd. Two verses of "0 God, Our Help," ' were sung by all, standing with bared heads, and then the King, noticing that his orderlies, a sergeant and a pri- vate, were standing whore they could see nothing, Called them out to a place on the balcony to get a view of the wonderful scene below, "Rule Britan- nia," and "Land of Hope and Glory" were sung with great enthusiasm, and "Keep the Home Fires Dunning," and the old favorite, "Leds of the Old Bri- gade," were two of the popular airs pluyed. Then, with a salute front the Icing and three deep courtesies front the Queen, the demonstration carne to an end. Bells Ring and Flags Wave. The news agencies and newspapers have circulated a number of messages from various personalltles on the con- clusion of peace. The predominating note Is that, while the peace may slot be all it might have been, it is still something to be deeply thankful for. The announcement that the blockade will not be raised till the German National Assembly has ratified the treaty accords to some extent with the apprehensions that are felt even yet. London learned of the signing of the • Peace Treaty at Versailles at 3.40 p.m. The news became known through the firing of guns which had been in- stalled during the war to warn the city of air raids. The moving throngs carne to a halt whenthe first report was heard. The tension lasted but a few seconds. Then the people gave themselves up to cele- bration of the event. Flag sellers did a brisk trade. Their wares were bought eagerly and were thrown to the breeze by the cheering thousands, The great bells of St. Paul's Cathe- dral and Westminster Abbey and vir- tually iitually all the churches of the metro- polis added to the din. Bands of Boy Scouts, engaged In their usual after- noon marching, put even more than customary vigor into the blowing of bugles and the beating of• drums. Trafalgar Square, already crowded by those attending a huge war bond sale, was a magnet that drew many other thousands. The crowds poured into the square, cheering as they came. Whitehall and other centres, including Hyde Park, also had their demonstra- tions, Thousands of Boy Scouts, drawn by the blowing of many whis- tles,`gathered to celebrate in Hyde Park. In fact, blue whole west end suburban district participated in the celebration, The only quiet spotwas the square mile which composes the • wef London proper, widen is Wg=„ ways dere.
