98 Coat Miners Lost Their Lives

A .dospatch from Halifax, N.S„

day of .Ia'st week at the Allan shaft,
Acadia Coal Company's collieries,
Stellarton, N,S., shortly after 5
.o'clock, a few Minutes after the day
shift'hati left. A blast of smoke was
sera, to (Time from the mouth of the
pit, but no poke was heard, even by
those on the surface near -by.
•The death toll of the disaster is
Bitted at 98.' Company officials ally
that there were one 'hundred and five
men in the mine at the time of the ex-
,
plosion. Seven of ,these, on the first
landing, escaped, and sedetteen bodies
have since been 'recovered, the- last
two having- been , brought out late
Thursday' afternoon: Twelve of the
bodies have been identified as,,miners
belonging to Stellarton and West-
ville, three are Frenchmen, and ' the
other two are unrecognizable.
• There is now no gas in the mine,
and the work of clearing away the
..debris is proceeding apace. A few
small falls at the bottom of- the shaft
have been cut through, but there
appear to be heavy falls ahead, and
officials are unable to' say when they
will be. able to reach the eighty-one
mon still in . the mine. They have
given up all hope of any of these
men being alive, maintaining that all'
who were not Crushed to death by

CANADA'S TIMI3ER MARKET.
Question of Dominion's Future Shale
in British, Empire's Trade.
One of the most interesting gnes-
tions awaiting the close of the war is
Canada's future share in the timber
market of the British Empire, says the
Canadian Forestry Journal. Already
a readjustment is in process -whereby
it is hoped a larger part. of the enorm-
ous volume of timber orders given to
Russia (00 per,. cent. of the total re-
quirements) will be turned towards
Canada. The Executive Council of the
Imperial Institute in London has con-
stituted -an Advisory Committee for
Canada. This, connnittee consists of
Sir ,George Perley, IC,C.M,G., High
Commissioner for Canada, chairman;
Sir Robert Kindersley, K.B.E., gov-

Colmer, C.M.G., former' secretary,
Highs Commissioner's office in London;
J. 11. Pluttimer, Dominion Steel Cor-
poration, and Sir Keith Price, of the
Ministry of Munitions.
One of the most important matters
on which action is being taken by the
committee is that of the more exten-
sive utilization of Canadian timber's
in the United Kingdom. The Imperial
Institute Advisory Conintittee on Tim -
hers 'has been taking evidence on this
subject. Afrangements have been

mand the cavalry division of the orig-
inal Expeditionary force. It was a for-
tunate appointment for the Allies,
since it is acknowledged. now on all
hands that to the masterly manner in
which he coveted the retreat from
Mons must be 'attributed ill groat

disaster.
Once he was nearly caught. Some

by which he should have retired was
choked by' masses of transport, guns,

of superb horsemanship coupled with
good leadership that wild night ride
by a whole cavalry division across at:

in the annals of warfare.

leader and organizer were then fully
recognized, and he wee appointed to

Brigade. During the five years that
he held this command Rte inaugurated -
