Chicago, Feb. 27.--Reseu•zrs digging into the tangled debris say many of the dead are so badly mangled and disfigured that identification will. be difficult. The ill-fated train which is known to the travelling• public as the "Chicago- Toronto-Montfreial' Flyer," was due to arrive in Toronto at A.23 o'clock Mon- day morning, leaving again at 8.58 for Montreal. She is a through train di- rect • from Chicago to Montreal, and with the exception of a change of engines after a• switch is made to the Michigan Central tracks at Detroit, the rolling stock of the C.P.R. is used solid without change over the entire route in both dtreetions. She is one of the fastest trains operated by the C.P.R., and aceording.to local railway officials, this is the first Wreck in Which this train has figured 'since the service was inaugurated.

The December figures showed a drop Of 4 per cent., from. 269 to 265 per cent., with the living cost in 1914 represented by 100. The new figures probably .will bring. the percentage down to 250. The Food Ministry calculates that food alone dropped from 14 to 16 points. While this accounts for 60 per cent. of the living cost, there have been big drops in the price of cloth- ing. Another shilling has been taken off the price of a sack of flour, and it is promised that bread soon will be cheaper. The decline of prices in England is somewhat behind the movement in America, but the tendency is certainly that way, and it is expected that re- lief will be felt here soon. Any sug- gestion of cutting wages has been met here the same as in America 'with violent protests from labor, which says that conditions are not yet equal to this. There is a movement on here for shortening hours: CENSUS OF FRANCE TAKEN MARCH 5-6 Shooting of Beverley i'ruinble, Proprietor of the Chappell House, Sandwich, on November 6th Last, Was Done in Self -Defence. A despatch from Sandwich says: Previous to the announcement, After fifty-seven minutes deliberation Chief Justice Mulock issued an em- phatic warning that any demonstra- the jury returned a verdict pro- times on the part of the spectators flouncing Rev. J. 0. L. Spracklin, would be treated.. as contempt of pastor of . Sandwich Methodist court and. the offenders promptly Church and former special liquor license inspector "not guilty" of the charge of manslaughter aris- ing out of the shooting of Beverley Trumble, proprietor of the Chappell House here during a raid on Novem- ber 6i,h last. Thus came to a close the trial which commenced before Sir William 1VIulock, at the Essex Countyl Spring Assize Court here. The judge's charge to the jury was concluded shortly after two o'clock and they left to commence their deliberations at 2.18. They returned to the, court room at exactly ,3.15 o'clock and an- nounced their finding in two word's. "Not Guilty." No. comment of .any kind was attached to thefinding by the jury_ nor made by His Lordship.

Mr. Spracklin at once stepped from the prisoner's dock a free man, stop- ping only to shake. hands with his lawyers; he left the courtroom des- cending to the main floor of the Courthouse, he voiced his relief in the words "Thank God it's all over." In the sheriff's office he was surrounded by relatives and friends who tendered their congratulations. Asked if he teitdeel.to resume his `work as license inspector, he -replied, "I'm not saying, as a :matter of fact I have made ab- solutely no plans." Will Show Results of War's Death Toll -Last Enumera tion 1911. ,Paris, Feb. 26. -The census, of France will be taken March 5 and 6. The last French census was in 1911, and great interest attaches to the forthcoming enumeration because it will reflect the results of the world war and the subsequent movement of population upon the French Republic. In deaths France lost in the war 1, - May Raise Lusitania From Ocean Floor A despatch from Paris says: The Lusitania and all other large ships sunk during the submarine warfare s- e operation. Two nurses who were sets considered Iost forever will b present called Dr. Vella's assistant who 'rushed in; found the patient re- covering from the anaesthetic and completed the operation on time. • The woman who was being operated upon will recover. C.err'an Delegates Leave for London Berlin, Feb. 27. -The eight German delegates to the conference with the Allies in London, headed by Foreign Minister Simons and accompanied by a staff of some fifty secretaries and clerks and a party of seven German newspaper men, left Berlin at noon to -day on a special train melte to England. The Chancellor and Dr. Simons both appeared to be in good. spirits. Will Try to Have Embargo Removed-. Iron. Manning Doherty, 'Minister of .Agriculture in the Ontario Govern- ment, who is.leaving shortly for Eng- land, where ire will endeavor to have the British Government rerno've the embargo on Canadian cattle. raised and brought to a harbor, judg- ing from the claims made for an in- vention perfected by an Italian nam- ed Finotti. By means of the invention, it is declared, it is possible to raise sunken vessels from the most profound depths. - British House Increases Insurance Benefit A despatch from London says: -- In the I-Iouse of Commons during the debate on the Unemployment Insur- ance Bill, the Government, iv response to urgent representation by the Laborites, agreed to increase .the in- surance benefit from 18 to 20 shill- ings for men and 16 shillings for wo- men. It is generally estimated that there are 3,000,000 fewer French than the 38,000,000 of the last census. How- ever, parts of France, notably Paris and the Mediterranean cities, have had a great influx of refugees from the disturbed countries. It is estimat- ed that there are 200,000 Russian re- fugees in Paris alone. Will Not Sell West Indies to Discharge Debt MILITARY POWER IS SUPREME King's Bench at Dublin IUs- holds'• Military Power in Ireland, ' A despatch from Dublin says;. - The King's Bench, composed of the Chief Justice and four other Judges,' rendered ah important decision on Thursday in a case involving the pow- ers of the military. The Judges tin- animously decided that a state of war existed and that the military had full power to deal with the insurrection without interference by the civil courts. - Dublin Castle' announced that et Bandon, where there is a strong gar- rison of troops, a raid was conducted Thursday night by armed men, who shot dead a Black and Tan constable and wounded another and carried off two naval wireless operators and two soldiers.- The wireless peen were later released, but the soldiers were found shot dead. Mary Bowles, 13 -year-old girl, who was captured in County Cork carrying a machine gun and was armed with a revolver, was sen- tenced by court-martial to detention in a reformatory until she is 19 years old. In the general order issued alluding to the killing of two soldiers at Ban- don and three at Woodford, Galway, Tuesday, General Sir Nevil Mac- Cready, the military commander in Ireland, says there is no doubt that these crimes constituted deliberate at- tempts to exasperate the troops and tempt then to break the bonds of discipline. "The Commander -in -Chief," says the order, "expects the troops, even in the face of provocation such as would not be indulged in by the wild- est savages of - central Africa, to maintain the discipline for which the army is justly proud."

A despatch from London says: -No remedy has yet been found for "sleeping sickness," according to a report by the Ministry of Health fol- lowing a world-wide investigation of the malady. According to the report, the mal- ady is growing more frequent in most countries. There were 402 cases re- ported thus far this year as 'against 268 for the entire first quaater of 1920. The deaths in England for 1920 totalled 318. The health ministry recommends' isolation and careful nursing. The disease is declared to have no con- nection with influenza or the hiccough •epidemic. Sixteen Doctors Have Been Suspended A despatch from Winnipeg says :-Sixteen Manitoba physi- cians have been suspended for periods ranging from one week to six months, as a result of the wholesale issuance of prescrip- tions for whiskey as a beverage, Council of the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons for Manitoba announced on Thursday. One of the doctors suspended gave 10,000 prescriptions during a one-month period, according to testimony obtained by a special committee of enquiry appointed by the council. Twelve of the physicians practice in Winnipeg. League Embarrassed Regarding Mandates A despatch from Paris says : -According to La Liberte the League of Nations has been placed in an 'embarras'sing posi- tion on the subject of mandates. "The terrible embarrassment of the league is shown," says the paper, "by the fact that it must either reconsider the whole nrnan- date question or adhere to all previous decisions. By recon- sidering the mandates Britain and Japan will be offended and by adherence to the decisions the United States will be alienated from the league." A despatch from London says:- The ays.The Foreign Office has announced that the attitude of the British Gov- ernment with regard to suggestions that Great Britain turn over the West Indies to the United States in return for cancellation of war debts has not changed from that of a year ago, at which time the Prime Minister, Mr, Lloyd George, declared Great Britain had not the slightest intention -of bartering or selling any part of the West Indies. That statement was made in com- menting on the resolution introduced in the United States Senate by Sen- ator James A. Reed of Missouri con- cerning possible negotiations for such an exchange of the British West In- dies for the wiping out of Britain's debt to the United States. A United Armenia • to be Constituted London,, Feb. 27. -Lord Curzon, British Foreign .Secretary, served notice on the Turk delegates here to- day that the powers are determined to constitute a united and stable Armenia. The districts torn from the country by Turkey and Russia, it was added, are to be restored. A FIXED INDEMNITY IS ONE OF GERMANY'S COC N BA . PROPOSAL Germans Offer to Reconstruc t France and Make Payments in Kind -United Stat es to be the Banker. Berlin, Feb, 27. ---The German counte&'-proposal for the payment of indemnities will be the refusal to pay the 12 per cent. toll and also of any plan involving interest. They refuse to consider the Paris plan on that se - Count. The counter -proposal is in three parts: 1-A fixed sum as indemnity on the basis of intetnationai credits which will permit immediate liquidation of French debts. 2 -The' Germans to reconstruct France. 3-Patiyrnent,s in kind. . This is a definite proposition, but really it is meant as a basis of nego- tiation which the Germans hope to prolong until the United States atti- tude is known. The plan necessitates the United States as the banker. Perhaps a dozen men in Germany know the exact number of billions of gold marks Germany is going to offer,. and they are not talking. Fifty 1iil'lions (normally $12,000,- 000,000) is probably near the mark, If the allies refuse to hear the pro- posal, Foreign Minister Simonsis pre= pared to resign. If France is willing to come to terms with Germany on a money basis only, the Governanent believes it can bring the negotiations to such a paint in London that a fixed sum will be named by which Fra'nce's financial burden will be lifted and which at the same time will eoiuviirce the -British that German ma.nufaeturin:g competi- taian will not hurt them. • .e - Peril in Oysters, Say French Physicians A despatch 'from Paris say:a- - Oysters are among the most frequent causes of typhoid, according to Pro- fessor Courtois, Suffrt and Bourgeois, in a report' to the Academy of Medi - eine. The professors emphasized the danger of eating oysters accompanied only by water and strongly urged that brandy or other alcoholic drink be taken immediately following any meal which includes shel•ifish.
