The morning papers within the last few days contained the two foil/W- ing messages: • From the 'Montreal "Gazette '— Bank Depositors are; Reassured—No Occasion for Uneasiness, Sir Fred- erick Williams -Taylor States. --f` it Frederick Williams -Taylor, General Manager' of the Bank 4 Montrea , on beingleaked iast night with regai4d to the banking situation, stated that as president of the Canadian Bankers' Association and otherwise he thought iiithere had been too much talk of fur- ther banking mergers and this, ob- viously, had a eery unsettling effect. So far as I know, as president of the association and general manager of the Bank of Montreal, there are no • mergers likely ih the near future, and in my opinion there is no occa- sion whatsoever for alarm or uneas- iness on the part of depositors in Canadian banks. he added. From the Toronto Globe: "A Word to Bank Depositgrs" — The Globe is constrained by a sense of duty to say to bank depositors that upon their steadiness and confidence at the present time the financial well- being of Ontario in the immediate' future largely depends. Sorge of the depositors in our Canadian chartered banks have recently been making in- quiries concerning their financial standing. Some have gone. farther, and have changed their deposit ac- counts from one bank to another. The Globe is assured, on the highest fin- ancial authority, that the deposits in every chartered bank carrying on business in Ontario to -day are amp- 1y..secured, and that there is not the least necessity for concern as to their safety. The removal of deposits from one bank to another does not necessarily increase their security, and it is understood that the banks themselves, in times like the present, do not favor such action. It only 1 tends still further to disturbance and unrest when confidence and sanity are essential. The Globe hopes its readers will take no part in rocking the boat. THE SITUATION IN JAPAN Official information of the disaster in Japan is beginning to come from the stricken area over the cables. One such message was received Wed- nesday in London and was relayed to New York. As yet this source of news is necessarily scant, but it is a promise that in a few days the world will know authoritively the full measure of the catastrophe, free from exaggeration. The estimate placed upon the deaths in the cities of Tokio and Yokohama indicates that they were not as numerous as had been supposed. According to the Govern- ment Office in Japan, the mortality toll in Tokio is placed at 100,000, while in Yokohama it is given at 110,000. Other estimates from reli- able individuals in the Japanese Cap- ital are far under these. U. S, Am- bassador Cyrus E. Woods computes the death toll in Tokio at 10,000, and Roderick Mathison, of the New York Tribune, places it at 25,000. In any event the disaster is an appalling one, and the damage to property almost beyond calculation. Not only Tokio and Yokohama, but many other populous cities have been completely, or almost completely, destroyed, and over a million people are homeless and lacking food. The conditions created are such as to call for the speediest and fullest measure of relief for the distressed population. That this need is realiz- ed and is bringing response through- out the world is evidenced by contri- butions that 'are pouring in from all countries in national and private sub- scriptions. HERON NOTES —A brass tablet was unveiled in S. S.

The Clinton and Gode- rich factories have not been taken over from the insolvent estate as yet. —An auto accident occurred about a mile east of Grand Bend on the Crediton Road, late Monday evening. It seems that two cars were following one another and had turned out while meeting another car driven hy Mr. Glen Stelk, who is employed by Mr. P. O'Hara, near Mt. Carmel.

He was looking for a hot box in the Creamery, Mr. Luke Lawson who was with him at the time, having said that he smelt burning oil. Just then Mr. Rozell noticed sparks • from the motor and realizing that some- thing was wrong he ' grasped the handle to turn' off the power.

Mr, Ro- zell was conscious for a time but be- fore he had become free he became unconscious, and it was thought at figst he was dead. Miss V. Wise, who was in the office, immediately tele- phoned for a doctor and even before he arrived Mr. Rozell was showing some signs of consciousness and in a few minutes he was fully awake to the world again, the world from which he had so nearly slipped 'forever. So charged was his body with electricity however, that for some time after anyone touching him received a dis- Football INTERMEDIATE FINALS OWEN SOUND ve. KINBURN AT KINBURN Wednesday, Sept. 12th.

Ono of Mr. Taylor's sons had been in the mow throwing clown feed a Short time before and thrrc Das no sign of fire.

As the Stratford pa- per put its, Mr. Dundas was the storm centre in the game in Strat ford, which was not due to him in any way whatever, R. Dundas play- ed a clean game, both. at Riahprp. and Stratford, and does not deserve such ungentlemanly and unsports- manlike criticism as the Stratford re- porter says. The two Executive of the Stratford team, who went to Kitchener on the protest, admitted that if they had been the referee that two of the Stratford team would have been put off, as they beggaan their dirty work from the first blow of the whistle. This goes to prove very clearly what kind of play Kin - burn had to contend with. One of the Stratford backs, who thinks that fighting goes with the game, made two passes at R. Dundas, who clever- ly caught him by the throat and floored his man, yet Kinburn boys are rough and dirty players. It's al- right when they take it r and say nothing, but there is a limit to such work. Stratford fellows are a lot of soreheads; they cannot stand to lose: That is sportsmanship of the.ppeoeoreat kind, and it wouldlook better of`them ' to take their medicine and say noth- ing, and be true sports. The Tues- day night game in Seaforth drew a. Large crowd of spectators, as a good game was expected and they sure had one. Mr, Blake, of Kitchener,, refereed the game and acted very fair. The game started shortly af- ter five and played forty-five minutes each way, The play was fast and some, very fine work boas done. Strat- ford has good combination but were not strong enough to hold against the fast and aggressive play of our boys, After about fifteen minutes of play, a penalty kick was allowed -Kin - burn and N. Govenlock took the measure and scored. It was not long ntil the hall was again in Strat- ord's end and a straight shot from . Dundas struck the goal post, then . Armstrong took a turn but put it little high. In a scrimmage in Kinhurn's goal a penalty was allow- ed Stratford, who again tied the score both teams having one each. In the last half, Stratford tried hard to get to Kinburn's goal but at no time was there any danger, and soon the ball passed up to Stratford's end and some close calls came 'to Stratford. R. McClure dropped a nice ball from a corner kick, but Stratford again saved themselves and it was not long until he again had another chance, hut beferc he took it a Stratford back ran out and struck Jas. Arm- strong with his fist and knocked the wind out. of him. Then it looked like a free -f nr-all. This is some of Strat- ford's clean playing. The Stratford player should have been put off, but as the referee did not see him do it,. as he was watching the play from the corner when it happened, it took a little while to get the crowd cooled down and play resumed. It was not long until Kinburn, through a nice pass to W. Dundas, who made an easy mark of the Stratford goal. The rush still continued on Stratford, who were now completely played to a standstill and their goal tender, want- ing to Show his ability, left his post a little too far and a quick pass back left their goal an easy mark for Kin- hurn. The game had only a few' minutes to play and at the'flnish the score stood 3 to 1, in favor of Kin - burn. Now, Stratford, since the lid blew n0' your garbage can, just get and put it on tight. Jt's bad stuff' to get in the air. Very sorry you have here beaten out of your trip to Owen Sound. Nice place up there, and our boys will likely enjoy them- selves whether they win or lose. Se good-hvo Stratford, you're a thing of the pas': the future waits for the hest. Kinburn plays Owen Sound in Owen Sound on Saturday of this creek and the return match -will be played on Wednesday evening next. Kinhurn's line-up will be the same as against Ptratford.
