Buc, France, Oct, 10. -The French aviator, Fronval, established a world's record this afternoon for landing at a given spot when he ascended to the height of 1,000 metres and carne clown within nine feet of the spot indicated. Fronval holds the record for looping - he -loop. After the meeting closed to -day, Sadi Leeainte, who recently won the DISORDERS OCCUR. IN IRISH CITIES Troops Are Called to the Lon- donderry Prison. - Belfast, Oct, 10. -The people resid- ing in the vicinity of the prison at Londonderry passed a sleepless night owing to the din made by • Sinn Fein prisoners who wrecked the cells, smashed windows and shouted repub- lican scngs. Eventually troops were summoned and surrounded the prison. They first fired in the air, then sup- pressed the disorders. An attempt was made at Derry to- day to hold a huge demonstration at the funeral of the seventeen -year-old boy, John Clifford, who was shot by a sentry Wednesday night. As the enormous assembly started, however, soldiers with fixed bayonets stepped in behind the hearse. Others march- ed further in the rear and prevented anything like an organized procession, the crowds being pushed to the side paths and side streets. Three military officers and twenty men riding in two lorries on patrol duty were ambushed last night a -quarter of a mile from the village of Neweestown. The men sprang out• of the lorries and engaged the attacking party in the darkness, the fight last- ing more than an hour. Captain Richardson, commanding the naval detachment at the Bandon Military aBrracks, was shot in the head and died a few minutes after- ward. Lieutenant Robertson was shot through the stomach and probably fatally evonnded. Two soldiers of the party were badly injured. ra�r.a Heading for the. Cross -Benches.

He said that thirteen otherwise fatal cases had been completely cured by the injection of from 50 to 100 cubic centimeters of anti -gangrene serum which hitherto had been used most successfully in the treatment of the war wounded. While this has always been considered by the medical pro- fession as a minor operation, the number of cases that proved fatal led the patient 'heretofore to anticipate with somedegree. of alarm the appli- cation of the surgeon's knife in his case. Poles and Lithuanians Have Ceased Fighting A despatch from Riga says: -Mili- tary operations between the Poles and Lithuanians have ceased, it is an - rimmed at Polish headquarters here; This statement was made in connec- tion with an announcement that the Allied. fission „on the Polish-Lithuan- tn question had arrived at Suwalki.

To -day Leeainte covered the kilo- metre in 12,1 seconds, or at the rate of 296.694 kilometres per hour. EGYPTIANS ACCEPT BRITISH PLAN • Negotiations Have Been in Progress in Paris. A despatch' from Paris says: - Leaders of the Egyptian Nationalist party meeting in Paris have decided to accept with one important reserva- tion the British plan for Egyptian independence, which was announced in England last July. This was learned from a member of the Egyptian Committee of Four which carried the British plan to the Egyptian people and arrived in Paris on its way to London. As a result of their two-day con- ference, the leaders have framed a number of suggestions and counter- proposals which will probably be sub- mitted to a high official -of the British Government. Maher Bey, one of the committee. of four, declared that he and his col- leagues brought back the unanimous approval of 14,000,000 Egyptian peo- ple "who are united to gain complete independence." The chief reservation made by the Egyptians consists sof a demand that all references to the British protector- ate over Egypt be completely elimin- ated from the chief treaty of Ver- sailles and all other existing treaties, including those growing out of the war. The Egyptians have agreed, to per- mit a certain number of British troops to remain in Egypt, said the committee member, and have also agreed to pay indemnities to all Bri- tish and other foreign subjects in Egypt who may suffer' through re- organization and the advent of inde- pendence. U.S. Corn Crop Largest in History Washington, D.C., Oct. 8. -The 1920 corn crop promises to be the largest in the history of the United States by more than ninety million bushels. A • yield • of 3,216,192,000 bushels, .compared with the previous record production of 3,124,746,000 bushels in 1912 was forecasted to -day by the Department of Agriculture from a condition of 89.1 on October 1. The yierd well exceed that of last year by practically 300,000,000 bushels. Kansas, Nebraska and 1VIissouri will contribute practically all of tee in- crease. Waren and dry September weather, free' from, widespread killing frosts and the maturing of the late -crops and during the month the prospects for this year were increased by 85,000,000 bushels. The frosts near the end of the month did little dam- age, and the great bulk of the •crop is now safe on that stere, Government experts said. $10,000,000 Bridge Across St. Lawrence A despatch from Montreal says: - Definite steps towards the construc- tion of a .now bridge across the St. Lawrence from the foot of McGill street to the property of the Harbor Board on the south side, with a middle way on St. Helen's Island, were taken at a meeting of the committee representing the various bodies inter- ested with the Harbor Commission.

FROM RED TRAIL OF WAR TO PROSPERITY IN WESTERN CANADA Thousands of Canada's soldier sons, returned to`the paths of peace, have availed themselves of the oppor- tunity provided by, the Soldiers Settlement Board of establishing themselves on farms throughout the Dominion. The above pictures give a good idea of some of the homes and farms owned by these soldiers. (1) is the home of Edward Livesay, a lieutenant in the 49th Battalion in North Saanich, Vancouver Island. He has 20 acres and is prospering. (2) shows W. W. Latter on his farm at Moore Park, Man. (3) is Mrs. Gallagher, who is taking the place of her hero husband, killed at the front while serving with the 29th Battalion. She has a 40 -acre farm at Matsqui Station, B.C., where she is taking up dairying. She is the tenant of the Matsqui farm adjoining and is seen among part of a crop of carrots. (4) The neat home of A. J. McCarthy, Regina District, Sask. British Ultimatum Handed to Russia A despatch from London says:-- A British ultimatum to Russia, threat- ening to sink Russian warships and submarines on sight if they appear du the vicinity of Nikolaieff on the Black Sea, has been handed to Leonid Kras- sin, the Bolshevist emissary in Lon- don. The note, according to Krassrin, was from Earl Curzon, the British Secretary for Foreign Arairs. The message is regarded in some quarters as a declaration of war. "Tho note," said Krassin, "declared that it has been reported to the British Govern- ment that a Russian submarine has been sighted off Nikolaief, , and fur- ther states that if this is so it will be sunk, as will all Russian warships, on sight." Krassin has forwarded the note to Moscow. Medical Aid in Mid -Ocean Sent by Wireles-s A • despatch from Southampton Says: -While the steamship St..

POLLY'S THANKS- GIVING I-HA IKS-GIVING The last trunk had gone, the last giggling girl had climbed into the bus and the school settled into a dreary, discouraged Silence. Polly Evans sat disconsolately ,in a chair. Everything was as dismal as possible, and if she were sure Ann Elizabeth, the maid -of - all -work above stairs, would not pop into the room she would have a good cry, Polly had only been at Hill Crest Girls' School a week and, of course, it was silly to go all the gray from Toronto to Parry Sound for Thanks- giving. But, nevertheless, a tear trickled down her nose and splashed on the French grammar open in her lap. "Fat lot I have to be thankful for!" she thought, bitterly. Only two teachers were staying over the holidays, and every girl except Polly had gone, dropping delicious hints of the celebration in store for them, If Polly had been at school from the beginning of the tern, surely some of the girls would have carried her off far Thanksgiving, but she scarcely knew _them. Another tear chased the first one, when a sharp rap at the door made her swallow hard and fly for her handkerchief. "Come in!" she called, end in carne Ann Elizabeth with 'a big parcel. There was a box of candy from dad, a little fruit calce from mother, a gay little book from Bob, a feather from the turkey and a jar of ginger cookies. Polly blew her nose vigorously and decided to Cheer up. Taking the book and a handful of ,cookies, she went down into the study and curled up be- fore the fire. It was too bad the teachers she eared for least were stay- ing -everything was too bad, but she was fourteen and a young lady of the world, and must make the best of it, The book was very exciting and she soon forgot that to -morrow weed Thanksgiving. Suddenly mixed in ss hazy way with the •characters of the story, she became aware of a deep, pleasant voice talking in the entry. "Didn't Jane get my telegram?; Gone to Betty's for Thanksgiving? Pshaw! Here I am stranded in To- ronto 'without a soul to cheer me npI Well, guess I'll be going." "Better go ,in there by the fire and rest a bit," Miss Warren suggested apologetically. She felt that some- thing should be done in the principal's absence, but she was a vague little person and oould think of nothing else to suggest. It was 6 o'elock and all at once she had a brilliant idea. "Per- haps you'd stay for tea," she added anxiously. Polly peeped around the edge of her chair. The jolliest sort of a person was coming into the room. "Hullo!" he cried, catching sight of her. "You stranded too? I'nm Jane's Uncle Bob. Say, how'd you like to adopt me for a day?" The idea of adopting such a tall, grown-up gentle- man sent Polly into a gale of merri- ment, and by the time Miss Warren returned to announce supper they were chatting away like old friends. Dinner was very exciting and Mr. Kenyon kept every one laughing, but, best of all, before saying good -night, Uncle Bob had obtained permission to borrow Polly for Thanksgiving. What a day it was! Dinner at the largest hotel Polly had ever seen, then out to the football game, supper and then to the theatre. Such adventures) "I never was so thrilled in my life," wrote the little girl next day in her letter home, and Uncle Bob, let me tell you, enjoyed himself as much as Polly. Thanksgiving. Now gracious plenty rules the board, And in the purse is gold; By multitudes, in glace accord, Thy giving is extolled. Ah, suffer me to thank Thee, Lord, For what Thou dost withhold! I thank Thee that howe'er we climb There yet is something higher; That though through all our reach of time We to the stars aspire, Still, stili beyond us burns sublime The pure sidereal fire! I thank Thee for the unexplained, The hope that lies before, The victory that is not gained - 0 Father, more and more I thank Thee for the unattained - The good we hunger tor! I thank Thee for theevoice that sings To inner depths of being; For all the upward spread of wings, From earthly bondage freeeng; For .mystery ---the dream of things Beyond our power of seeing! The aeroplane marriage is the lat- est. It is naturally exciting -with the minister tying the knot and the pilo looping the loop.
