A despatch `iron Niagara Falls,
Ont., says: --•The big shovels started to
dig into the eek again en Thursday
morning at 7 o'clock, after baying
been idle since June 15, There ;vas a
large force of men, although not all
of the employees turned out on
connt of the late hour at °Which the
decision to return was made. Meet-
ings of all the unions were held Wed-
nesday night, and at a later meeting
at was deeided by a narrow majority
to resume on Thursday.
Large parties of men began to`'ar-
rive and more will continue to 'come
until Monday, when it is expected that
the construction work will be in full
sating again. A party of 200 laborers
arrived here Wednesday night and
started next day.
The new machinery is expected
Fry and the management are con-
fident. that ;with an end of trouble the
big cut will be completed on schedule
time.
Information received at the local
Hydro offices was that about 800 of
the men bad returned to work at the
Chippewa job on Wednesday, The
noi•nud staff numbered abut 2,000,
but many ef the laborers have left the
Niagara district. Two conditions were
not acceptable to the men, namely, the
ten-hour day and no increase. They
returned to work, however, although
u i :v protest, and will look to further
nsgotiatians to settle the two disputed;
mints. The commission has a a'reed;
to the eight•hour day in the im hioe
rltc•ps, and other places, while the rest
ef he work is on a ten-hour basis.

FLAT BACON PRICE
TO BE REMOVED
British Food Ministry ,Action
Benefits Canada.
A. despatch from London • says:—
Good news for Canadian produeers is
contained in an announcement of the
British Food Ministry that the price
centred Qf bacon, ham, ant s eheese is
to he removed. The maintenance. of
one fiat price for all dualities of bacon
having proved unsatisfactory, it is
proposed to fix differential wholesale
prices for Danish, Canadian and Am-
ericen bacon, The Canadian price will
be higher, it is understood, than that
for American, as the bacon is of bet-
ter quality.
The grievance of the Canadian pro-
queers against the British prises con-
trol will not be entirely reproved,. how-
ever, until the regulations governing
wholesale isrice3 are to be abolished,
The matter is one in connection with
which porch dissatisfaction exists, and
is to be brought up by reps' sentative
of the Montreal Chamber of Com-
merce at a meeting of the Imperial
Chambers in Toronto this mime's.,
The :ntimatian of the ?t'Linistry of
Shipping that the shipping control
will be relaxed will not greatly affect
Canadian trade, though the action
would have been very important .a
year ago. Controlled freight rates
have of late been higher than the ord-
inary market rates on account of the
drop in the latter.
The llritish public ie now success-
fully fighting the attempt to run up
prices on the part et' the farmer as

of newspapers they have been buying

Mention of the Dardanelles conjures
before our mind the story of a fierce
and tragic fight in 1915 and 1916 and
a history which trails back into dim
mythological times, when Leander
swam across its three -quarter -anile
width at A.bydos might ght to tell the

• This storm door is commanded by the
Dardanelles Castles, built by Moham-

European side and one on the Asiatic,
Many guide -books published before'
1914 carried this ominous and pro-
phetic sentence: "Tire castles on both

to the treaty of July, 1841, and the
Faris peace of 1856, no foreign ship -
of -war was allowed to enter the strait
Without the peraniesion of Turkey and
merchant vessels only during the day-
time.
On the Aiatie.ide a short distance
from the fort lies the town of Dard-
anelles, which was named for Darden -
us, the mythological ancestor of the
Trojan kings, Aeneas, and hence of !c
the Raman people. This city of 15,-
000
5,000 inhabitants, situated prettily on a
fertile stretch of land, is the point
from which most of the excursionists
start for the plains df Troy, a short
distance beyond. Here, too, ships
must stop to show their papers.
Across on the European side is
Gallipoli, or "health:el town. It was
Ilia first European town to be: cap-
tured by the Turks in 1357. Superbly
located on the steep projecting coast
of the Gallipoli Peninsula, it coni -
elands a. view of the .A siatie side—the
plains of Troy and the broken pee
hills of Mount Ida. On this narrow
peninsula, inApril. 1915, Allied forces
wore landed in an attempt to capture
the Dardanelles.
