BALDWIN ANNOUNCES ,e STRONGER MEASURES. London,—Prime Minister Stanley Baldwinindicated, in the house of Commons that a sterner Bribish policy i it be necessary soon In China, wing deepatehes describing the Iling bf foreigners in Nanking, which reen ted in casualties to Brit- ish citizens, "I cannot say what modification sof our policy might be rendered neces- sary, by the present development," Mr. Haidyrin said, adding that the Government is continuing to main- tain contact with the Cantonese at Hankow., • Labor members renewed their de- mands for British recognition of the Cantonese Government as the best means of protecting British lives in µ!'China, but these requests were re- ceivece with a stony silence by the Prime Minister. Shanghai.—Tho fate of Britishers and 155 Americans, who, authorities at Nanking believe, are still ashore, was uncertain,; say despatches sent from Nanking. It is feared that some have been killed and wounded. The Anglo-American authorities are attemptjhg negotiations with the Cantonese to effect the rescue of the remaining foreigners withoutfurther bloodshed. ' The foreigners ashore are those who failed to reach the Socony Com- pound. It is believed that they re- mained at mission centres, which aro widely separated within Nanking walls. All who reached the Socony Compound are believed to have been brought out. The United States destroyers Pre - bit and Stewartare still standing by at Shanghai, awaiting any call for reinforcements. The Peary, Pillsbury and John D. Ford, which.were at Manila, are pro- ceeding to Shanghai, while three fur- ther destroyers from Manila are go- ing to Southern ports. The President Hayes sailed at daylight. Washington,—The Chinese :situa- tion flamed to a sudden crisis filled with gravest possibilities .in the roar of British apcl United States naval guns at Nanking. An unlchown number of British and United States lives have been"taken, by a mob of undisciplined Nationalist soldiers. Guile of warships and rifles and bayonets blasted a way to safety for the survivors. Other foreigners, including more than a hundred American men, wo- men' and children, aro still in the seething turmoil of the river city, their fate unknown. Solemn warn - Inge have been served on Nationalist leaders by the British and united States commanders to produce these unharmed or take the consequences. Menacing muzzles of naval guns, trained on a swarming city of a quarter of a million population, back- ed the demand.

Montreal Physicians Discover That Epidemic Had Origin in Contaminated Milk. Montreal.—One hundred and one new cases of typhoid fever were re- ported in the twenty-four hours end- ing at 6 o'clock Thursday .evening, and this brought the total for the typhoid epidemic in Montreal up to 1,07 since Jan, 1 and to 938 from March 4, when the malady became acute. At a meeting of medical men sum• moved at the instance of Dr. S. Bou- cher, director of the public health department, it was established that the typhoid had its origin in con- taminated milk brought into the city from some source not specified. The' meeting expressed surprise •at the ab- sence of medical supervision, over the 41 plants in Montreal there was only one inspector available for their surveillance,. The Executive Committee of the City Council, however, has promised to appoint additional inspectors. The services of Dr. E. M. A. Savard of the Provincial. Health Service have been accepted in an effort to run the cause of the epidemic to its source. Precautionarymeasures against the malady have been advised, and the public notified with regard to the steps they should take in order to protect themselves as much as pos- sible against infection. Dr, Boucher is confident that, the epidermic has now been controlled and a diminution of it is now looked for,. Canadian. Dollar at Premium on New York Exchange New York.—The Canadian dollar, which sold at "a discount of nearly one -gnarlier of one per cent. early in the month, sufficiently low to make gold shipments from Canada to the United :States profitable, was quoted at a slight premium for the first time this year. Thursday's rate was 100.01 9-16.

Toronto.—Control and ownership of the Provincial Paper :Mills, Limit- ed, manufacturers of high grade book, writing and coated' paper, has been acquired by' the Dominion Se- curities Corporation, through the pur- chase of a large block of common shares of the cornpeny, and by an offer to purchase at thesame price all common shares which remain out -1 standing, according to an official an- nouncement yesterday. Added public interest is lent to this important transaction, which wilt:involve a cash outlay ultimately of $.$,000,000, arises out of the fact that control ofthe e enterprise will be restored to Can- ada and to Canadians. Large blocks of the ceinnton stock were formerly held by investors residing in Kale - memo, Michigan; and vicinity, where control virtually centred, Thus an- other important Canadian. enterprise has been removed from the domino tion of American capital, this revers- ing the trend that has been so preval- ent in recent years.

Cedar Rapids, Ia,—Dan Bunter, local •aviator, flew his plane with two; passengers from Brantford, Ontario, to this city,a distance of slightly more than a thousand miles, ie nixie hours ,and forty-five minutes, includ- ing more than rorty -five minutes he spent' on a flying field at Hinkley, II- linoie, obtaining gas and oil. Mr. Hunter says this beats the world record for a machine carrying two passengers, and local aviation officials bear him out in his assertion. Hunter says he could have reduced the time considerably bad he not ,encountered blizzards ,and gales while, traveling along the shores of Lakes Ontario, Huron, Michigan .and Erie. Just after, leaving Canada and while flying at an altitude o£ several thoue'and feet he says the plane was• whipped by a gale that was blowing sixty miles an hour. The machine was 'tossed like a chip in the wind and he was forced to bring it to a low- er altitude, where a snow storm was encountered. Weather conditions were bad from the tine he left Canada until he struck Western Illinois, he said, but :despite this the machine traveled more than a hundred miles an hour. Hunter left here last Monday with Dr. R. J, Atkins, Mohawk Indian, and a newspaper reporter for the reserve of the Six Nations Indians near Brantford to obtain -affidavits from their chiefs to refute an :interview given by Proessor George Daugherty, Drake University, Des Moines, to the effect that Indians were immoral. The plane left Brantford at 9,30 a.m, Fri- day and arrived her .at 7.15 at night. The three were almost frozen after the battle with gales and blizzards and had nothing to eat on the trip.

Canada's Carillon to Ring Over World Toronto. -A carillion of 53 bells is being installed in the peace tower at the Parliament Buildings, Ottawa. One of these will be made similar in tone to "Big Ben" at Westminster, according to Premier Mackenzie King, who, during an address at a luncheon in his honor here, stated that the visitor to Ottawa will hear the Westminster chimes ring out the quarter hours in Ottawa as they do in London, the identical note to which he is accustomed in the Old World. "On July 1 we propose to proclaim the historic event of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confed- eration by ringing for the first time on that day the 58 bells," stated Mr. King. We hope that His Majesty the Ring from the capital of Great Britain will inaugurate the occasion by causing to ring forth from the capital of Canada the finest peal of bells to which the world has ever listened. By the development of radio broadcasting we hope that on this occasion that the peal of bells will be heard not only in Great Bri- tain but in• the distant dominions of Australia, New Zealand had Smith Africa, and in the great empire of India as well."
