not auspicious, rain commencing to
fall shortly before the Prince left his
,ship, but adverse conditions in no way
affected the warmth of his reception,
nor lessened ties enthusiasm of the
greeting extended to the heir of the
British throne.
It was eminently fitting that the
Prince's first glimpse of Canada
should be the city founded by the
Loyalists who had sacrificed so much
to remain beneath the British flag,.
and the heartiness of the welcome
showed that the same spirit stall ani-
mates those who have come after
them,

the Prince of Wales said he wanted
Canada to look upon him as a Can-
adian,

cial expression of H,R.H. the Prince
of Wales regarding the reception
given him by the citizens ere St. John

evening His Royal Highi.ess author-
ized Col. Henderson, military -secre-
tary to the Governor-General, to make
the 'announcement that he bad been

it to the full.

with great enthusiasm when he land-
ed,. He smi70ngly 'acknowledged
the applause and took his seat in an
automobile with Lieutenant -Governor
Pugsley of New Brunswick, The
royal car headed a long procession
of cars.
At the armouries the Prince was
-presented with addresses on be-
half of the city and the Province, both
of which testified to the loyalty of
the people to the King arid, heartily
welcomed the Prince as his represen-
tative to Canada. The Prince made a
modestly worded speech n reply, ex-
pressing regret that he could remain

sented colors to it,

SOLDIER LAND SET-
TLEMENT INCREASE
Majority Able to Begin Life on
Western Farms Without
Aid of Govt. Loan.
A despatch front Ottawa says:—
Three thousand seven hundred and
sixty-eight soldier grant entries have
been monde on lands In the Western
Provinces under the Soldier Settle-
ment legislation of the Federal Gov-
ernment. By Provinces:
Manitoba 858
Saskatchewan , , . 1,124
Alberta 1,702
British Columbia 84
There has been a considerable in-
crease In the settlement on Dominion
lands by soldiers in the past four
months. In April there were 346 en-
tries; in May, 403; in June, 813;
and in July, 941. The Porcupine
Forest Reserve was opened in July
and about 150 soldier's have already
settled there. At the instigation of
the Soldier Settlement Board, the Pro-
vincial Government is building roads
into the reserve and constructing steel
bridges, and prospects are that by
next season the area will be pretty
well filled up. A number of the 3,603
returned soldiers who have taken sol-
diers' land entries also have received
financial assistance from the Govern-
ment., but a great many were able to
finance themselves and begin opera-
tions without the assistance of the
Goverment loan:

TO SAVE B
COLE! FUI
Trainloads 'of' Sugar 'Rushed to
West to' Preserve Big, Crop.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Immediate relief in the difficult.
sugar situation In the West may be
looked for as a Insult of a conference
between representatives of the British
Co'.ambia Fruit ;(;rowers' Association
and Eastern sugar refiners with mem-
bers of the Cabinet, held at the invita-
tion of the Canadian Trade Commis -
Ohm
The notoutcome is that sugar, lit-
erally in trainloads, will be sent for-
ward by special arrangements with
the. refiners and the railways. No
doubt exists that the supply will reach
its destination in time to save the
British Columbia fruit crop from being
wasted.
It wag reported that there are at
present in British Columbia 10,000
tons.. of preserving fruits, chiefly
plums, prunes, peaches, pears and
crabapples. These fruits are not sac-
tually preserved by the Fruit Grow-
ers' Association, but are shipped fresh
to the Prairie Provinces, where they
are bought by the consumers, usually
in case lots, and it was customary for
consumers to purchase the required
preserving sugar at the same time,
Distribution of the 'Eastern supplies
will be undertaken by the refiners'
agents.
Other shipments will go forward in
due course, but it is certain that the
present prompt action will relieve
what had become a serious deadlock in
the sugar supply. This arrangement
is entirely in addition to supplies In
excess of the normal consumption.
which have been shipped from Eastern
refiners in the last few days..
MONTREAL FIRE TRAGEDY
CAUSED BY SMOKERS
A despatch from Montreal says:—
Fire Commissioner La Tulippe has
opened his inquiry into the fire at
Dominion Park on Sunday last, and it
was brought out in evidence that
twelve persons had boarded the boats
of the Mystic 1111I just previous to the
tragedy. Up to the present, clues
showing that eight had lost their lives
had been found. A long list of wit-
nesses was subjected to close question-
ing, and his conclusion at the end of
the inquiry was that passengers, in
going through the Mystic Rill, had
been responsible for the fire through
smoking. No witness was prepared
to state that the fire was of an incen-
diary nature, The Fire Commissioner
adjourned the inquiry sine clle, and
stated that full investigaton into the
origin would be continued.

FATE OF -BOAT
BREMEN ISCLOS D
British Submarine Sunk Giant
Hun Boat Near Kiel Canal.
A despatch from Washington
says:—Light was shed to -day on the
fate 'of the Getman submarine Bre-
men, sister of the merchant U-boat
peutschiand, which mysteriously dis-
appeared on a proposed trip frolic
Bremen to New London, and the loss
of which was recalled the other day
by a report, afterwards officially con-
tradicted, that the crew of the Bremen
lead turned up at Hamburg.
Representative Bing, recently re-
turned from Europe, said this version
of the 'disappearance of the Cermet
merchant submarine was told him by
Lieut, -Commander Storkbridgo, U.S,
N,; who said his information came
front Lieut. Langley, of the British
navy!, commander of the British under-
water craft that destroyed the
Bremen.
"Lieut. Langley, ac'bording to the
story, Lieut. -Commander Stockbridge
told me, cruised in the direction of
the plea 'Canal one night. Coming to
the surface at dawn, the British craft
saw a huge German submarine not
fifty feet away.
"It was the work of a few moments
to land two torpedoes amidships,
Lieut. Langley explained. -He describ-
ed 'the giant submarine as splitting in
the middle as the result of the terri-
fic explosion, with both ends •rising
higle in the air. The Tiritlsh com-
mander said he read clearly 'along the
bow the word 'Bremen' in large let-,
tars, and then -both ends plunged be-
neath the waves."

BRITAIN WiLL LAUNCH
WORLD'S LARGEST WARSHIP
A despatch from London says:—
Appointments are now being made to
Groat Britain's biggest warship,
H.M,S. Hood, which will be completed
epout the end of October. This mag-
nificent yesseI is quite unique, repre-
denting as she does an absolute blend
of the battleship and battle Cruiser, ,
and having all the gun, power of the
former type combined with the tre-
mendous speed of the latter,
Although official details are still
withheld, she is known to be by far
tate largest warship in the world, Her
displacement is not less than 40,000
tons, 12,500 tons more than the Queen
Elizabeth, mid ebb is almost 000 feet
in length. In her hull have been em-
bodied all the dearly bought oxperi.
ences of Jutloncl in regard to armor
and under -water protection.
Her armament consists of eight 15:
inch guns --not 18 -inch as coins papers
leave erroneously stated—which alta
can bring into action at a speed of
about 88 utiles an hour, The Hood,
in tact, promises to prove quite as
epoch making as the Dreadnought,
pd in naval circles the results of hex
trials are awaited with keen interest,
