Obtains Dredging Contract.—Mr. W. L, Forrest of IGoderich has been awarded the contract for the deepen - Mg of the Kincardine harbor channel, This is the job that was to be done by the dredge that foundered in Lake Huron last week, Mr. Forrest Left in a tug 'for Collingwood, where his dredge, the T. C. Carey, is already being equipped for the work, It is unlikely that the government dredge, which sank in (Lake (Huron off Bay- field, will be raised. She lies in eighty feet of water and the view held is that she would hardly be worth the cost of raising her. The diver was Captain • Earl McQueen, owner and operator of the tug Max L. Members of the crew, in reconstructing the scene of the sinking a few hours after their rescue, told of seeing the dredge about 10!30 arm. "'Thursday suddenly thrust one corner under water and as she sank beneath the surface, break in two, The dredging crew, accom- panied by the two towing tugs and scotws, feat Anaheratburg, where they had been doing construction work, on Sunday, June 19th. for Xiincardine,' There, it was understood, about 40,- 000 yards of dint were to. ;be taken out, ,The;: scows consisted', of two steel gravel scows and a wooden coal carrier, which was quite ancient. Two of `'bhe: scows, thus set adrift, : ` were s'wep't down the lake some six miles and one of therm; the coal scow, ran ttp on the beach and cracked up. St. Joseph !fishermen 'managed to anchor the other, thus saving it from a pas- sible like fate, though it is h'ardly likely it would have fared worse 'than to ground on •the beach, being more , strongly 'construdted. Struck by 'Golf Ball. — Mrs, H. J. Sutherland is -suffering from a pe'cul- fer accident which occurred when she and Mr, :Sutherland of the Capital theatre were driving past the !London h'unit club grounds in north 'L'ondon. -A golf ball went •t!iurou!gh thewind- shield of inds,hield'oif the car and struck 1Mrs. Sutherland's let eye, while her face add 'hand were cut by flying pieces of glass., More serious injury, ,might ha've. resulted ' except for the fact that a large pananmia hat Mrs, Sutherland was weaning .ileltercepted•'sorne of the. glass.

Those present ,seemed inclined to do their best to keop up the .interest, and all seemed to enjoy the day. The ladies did the grand as usnal in.pro- vi•ding a 'bountiful supply • of good things to eat,, and as usual there was more than. plenty, A good program' of 'sports, including ' baseball and horseshoe pitching, was .pulled' off, the most noted features being the hall game and the ladies' gucseinlg and tbean_b'ag throwing. The 'ball anve of the 4afternoon was that df the H'a'slBeens, or nienibers of former councils, and the Up=to-Daters, or members df the ,present council. The former showed that if they did not win 'the votes in recent elections they could play ball as well as ever. The line-up for this game was as fol- lows: Up -to -haters -L. IH, 'Rader, J. A. McKenzie, W. 'Macke, G. H. Elliott, P. W. Scott, A. J. Gold- thorpe, R. J. !Bowman, L. E. Cardiff, I. J. Wright, ,Has -Beene — J. Eck- ert, J. W. Beattie, R. H. Thompson. G. Hubbard, Vet -Mole, G. 'Yong, W, P. Thompson, 'A. !Porterfield, W. Hubbard. Ex -warden A. E. Erwin umpired the game to the satisfaction of all. The'Has-03'eens did the crow- ing, the ,victory being very decisive i favor of the old' chaps. Another match was played between chosen sides of men against the boys, and the tatter showed the old fellows' how to play ball with a one inning score of 8 to 3, and some very fine exhibi- tions of double plays. The ,guessing contest among the women on a tea- pot full of beans •ptoved very inter- esting, the winner being Miss lWright, wino got the teapot and beans as the prize. Throwing' stnall bags of beans into a box was enjoyed more than anything else, the event bringing otit many competitors. Mrs. Anderson prayed the winner with a score of fifteen, while Mrs. Taylor cane .sec- and with a total of 10. In the bean - throwing contest for sten Mr. Crich won first, with Mr. Geiger second. Other events included, thread -the - needle, wardens' and coat races. Sev- eral of the pickniokers saw about ten miles out the government dredge in distress, with two tugs in attendance. This proved very interesting and was watched with glasses, and it could be plainly made out that something' un- usual was raking place, as all move- ment or headway on the part of the dredge ceased at a point northwest by west of iBayifield, and the tugs could be seen moving about, but to what purpose could nOt be made out, bt appears that shortly after those on the lookout left the heights the dredge went down.

Seen from the air for the first time, they look like meee the footprints of some monster masta- don, or gigantic mole -hills or, when the aeroplane flies law, like those super - enlarged photographs which scientists sometimes show of a stone dropped in liquid of varying 'density, To be alone in a plane, with no one to explain the reason of their' presence ort the earth's surface, for mile after mile, presents a tantalizing insolvable prob- lem.

The, then 'who make them are among the finest of Persia's patriots. They are its unsung heroes, They work and spend muoh'of "their of people in every country. However, reports that Russia will not fight are indignantly denied in Moscow. In the May Day celebrations at Khabar ovs'k, the Soviet soldier -hero, General Vassili Blusher,:dedlared that the Red army would "prevent an alien foot from trampling on the soil of the col- lective farms." The phrase is, of course, reminiscent of the "Marsetl- faise," once the battle song of an- other revolutionary people. 'On February 29, Japan'sambas- sador at Moscow, Koki Hirota, pledged the word of his government that Japanese ,troops would not ad- vance along the Chinese Eastern. Railway east of 'Bailin. This pledge has been violated by the Japanese General Yoda, who , is now slowly driving back General Wan Fu -lin and his rebel Manchu bannerntesi to the Siberian border. I'f Russia is unable or unwilling to halt and disarm Gen- eral \V'an's men at the .frontier, there is great danger that General Yoda lives in the dreary desert, wonking either in the fierce rays of the or down underground,, standing in the water, digging new, tunnels and keeping the old ones fn repair, thus warding off the enemy "thirst" which, in Persia, for ever wages a never-end- ing battle with the .people.

For some time reports have been current in Washington. London and Berlin that Soviet' Russia, in the event of an attack by Japan, will not 'fight.
