WATER SEEPS INTO HELM, DROWNING GREAT LAKES DIVER A despatch from 'S-ault Ste. Marie ays: Death in one of its most ter-j rifying forms came to Damon S. God- frey, a diver in the employ of the Great Lakss Towing & Wrecking Co.,! on Thursday, when the great copper helmet he wore as part of his diving dress became loosened in some way| while he was down 25 feet on the bot-i torn of Georgian Bay, near Little Cur-; rent Ont. Little by little the water began to trickle inside the diver's rubber suit as the helmet worked still looser.! Damon aigra'Ied frantically to his mates on the lighter above to be hauled up, but in some way, it is said his jerks at the lifeline were not property understood owing to the lines becoming tangled, and the men at the air pump continued to send down, fresh air. Finally, when no further signals | were received the helpers became ; alarmed and hauled the diver up. When the helmet was unscrewed] Godfrey's head toppled over to one; aide. He had been dead for several minutes. Godfrey had been in the employ of; the Groat Lakes Company for 15, years, and was considered one of tha, most expert deep-water divers on the' Great Lakes. He was 55 years old I and lived at the Canadian Soo. His wife, three daughters and four sons survive. SWEEPING ROUNDUP Downpour May be BY CROWN FORCES Favorable Omen Sinn Fein Gunmen Arrested in "Murder" Counties. A despatch from Dublin says: The Government forcea have been making a sweeping round up of cer- tain areas in the last few days, with the apparent idea of making large captures and sifting them for men who are "wanted.'' The operations have been in progress in Monaghar county all this week. Hundreds ot arrests were made, but on Tuesday all were released with the exception of about a dozen persons. Five cavalry regiments invested Carricknracross, Mcnaghan. early on Thursday morning and commandeered several private houses. They made several arrests, including a despatch carrier of the "Irish Republican Army." Simi'.'ar raids occurred- at JVexford and Athlone. Severe engagements between Crown forces and 1 Sinn Feir.ers oc- curred in Dublin on Wednesday night *nd early Thursday morning, the fir- ing being the heaviest which has been heard in the city since the rebellion five years ago. General military head- quarters declines to issue a report. There are various rumors as to ' the cause of the outbursts, which took place about 11 o'clock. Officially, the oly reason assigned is that a number of civilians fired on sentries outside the ruins of the Customs House, but the most intense fire occurred in the centre of the city. About midnight, it is reported, a party of the Crown forces were sniped as they crossed O'Connell bridge by men on the roofs of buildings and from concealed po- sitions. A machine gun was brought into ac- tion and Westmoreland street and Sackville street were swept with bul- lets. Searchlights lit up the city. Par- ticular attention being paid to the roofs of houses aiul offices. A despatch from Lethbridge says : Amid a downpour of rain the first sod in the Lethbridge northern irrigation project was turenecl on Thursday, with Lieu- tenant-Governor Brett arid Pre- mier Stewart officiating, and other members erf the Govern- ment and representatives ofj Federal and Provincial Parlia- , ments in attendance. Active \ work has commenced on the big project, and the majority of the earthwork will be completed this season. ONTARIO WILL BE DRY AFTER THE EIGHTEENTH OF JULY Canada Gazette to Contai.i Proclamation Giving Effect to Result of the Plebiscite A ct Becoms Operative Thirty Days From Date of Publication. A despatch from Ottawa say.-: , Proclamations to give effect to the ! result of the plebiscite held in On- j tario under the Canada Temperance ' j Act and to provide for two plebiscites 1 ; elsewhere was published in S :.t- ! urday's number of the Canada '. Gazette. The proclamation affect- 1 ing 1 Ontario provides that thirty ' days from its publication, that is, on July 18, the sections of the Can- ada Temperance Act prohibiting im- portation of intoxicating beveraf."- 1 " into the province shall become oper- ative. That is to say. on and after t July 18, importation of such liquors, except for medicine, industrial and sacramental purposes, into Ontario ' will be illegal. Another pnch'.mation ci..i for a vote in New Brunswick on a date to be fixed by the chief electoral officer, on the question whether or not importation of liquors into that pi-ovir.cc; should be proiiibit- ed. A third proclamation provides for a vote in Quebec City on the ques- tion whether or not the Canada Tem- ptrar.je Act should continue operative in that city. The Act has been in force in Quebec for several years, anJ it is now proposed 60 repeal it and al'.ow the provirvla! law, which per- mit.;; sa's of beer and wine in licensed hotels and provides for sale of spirit- uous liquor through Government ven- dors tc residents of the province, to take effect. England Imports Much Butter. THE WORK OF THE SINN FEIN The picture shows tie Dublin Customs House burning just as the fire lighters arrived. Sinn Fein forces seized the building, poured petrol on the j papers and floors and then fired it. 100,000 LIMIT OF ! Past Year's GERMANY'S ARMY Installation of Lore! Byng Probably at Quebec A despatch from Ottawa says: It is presumed that the installation of ( Lord Byng as Governor-General of' Canada will take ptace at Quebec, in- 1 asnruch as it is anticipated that hej will arrive in Canada while naviga- tion on the St. Lawrence River is still open. The Department of the Secre- tary of State, however, has not yet ascertained the exact date of his com- ing. It has been the custom for the Gov- ernor-General to be installed at his port of debarkation. Hon. Arthur Meighen has arrived in London to attend the conference of the Prime Ministers of the Empire. Fighting Forest Fires. Over a considerable portion of the province, particularly n the northern: districts, forest fire-- continue to be 1 a problem during periods of drought and while public agencies :\'o bei^.g developed for cflF-jcuiallv meeti.-.g situations as they arise, the individ- [ ual is not losing his interest in prp.c-l tical methods of combatting flames j in wooded areas. In this week's maili came some very practical suggestions from a man who has had wide ex- , perience in protecting forests against , damage by burning, and with the ap-. proach of that season of the yearj when dry spells are common, it would] seem to be appropriate to give pub-j Heity to the suggestions. The best time to attack a fcrest fire, he states, is at the break of dawn. At that time a half-dozen men will' accomplish more than fifty men can, expect to do at two o'clock in the' afternoon. From seventy-five to nine-1 ty per cent, of the perimeter of a[ surface fire actually goes out without any human assistance whatever be- fore sunrise, but if nothing is don? while the flames are at low ebb, they' will, by the middle of the forenoon, have abain started sufficiently to pre- sent an urabrcken front. A forest fire naturally proceeds in the general direction of the wind,! burning an eliptical shaped area with | he-ad, flanks and taLL The most ef- fectual places to attack are at the head and flanks. If one can have only a single tool to fight the forest flames ' he should choose the shovel. With | this he can cut the edge of the surface fire and throw it back. He can also throw dirt on burning embers to re-' duce the temperature and to exclude oxygen. The plow is likewise a good tool, where it can be used, to limit the area of the fin? by plowing a nar- row strip across the path of the flames. Where there is danger from ] these fires the community should be ! organized to get out in force upon a moment's notice. Murders Total 568 Staff Officers and Sub-Officers Included in Total Permitted to Receive Training. A despatch from Berlin says: The' Reichstag on Thursday passed a new law fixing definitely the exact nmriberj of officers ami men which the Minis- ' try of War will be permiHt.i to hold; under arms. The law obeys orders given by the inter-Allied Council Com-: mission. The total number of Ger- many s military forces is not to ex-, ceed 1 100,000, including staff officer^ and sub-officers, the numbor of which I is not to exceed four thousand. The; law farther provides that the numU.' of officers to be discharged annually shall not be more than five per cent, of the total number of officers and men. The War Minister will be unable, therefore, to call more than 100.000 to the colors annually as \va origin- ally planned. London, June 16. Murders by rebels in Ireland since July, 1920, have totalled 568, Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary for j Ireland, stated in the House of Commons on Thursday. The number of Crown foix-es convict- ed for murder in the same period, he added, 'vas: The mili- tary, none; the Royal Irish Con- stabulary, one ; and the police auxiliaries, one ; the latter being found to be insane. Britain will give Mesopotamia Arab rule. FRENCH SCIENTISTS CONQUER FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE A despatch from Paris says: The. discovery of a serum rendering cattle i Immune to foot and mouth disease has' been made by Professors Vallee and) Carre, of the Alfortville Agricultural Research Laboratory. This anounce- ment was made on Thursday to the Agricultural Commission of the Sen- ate by Senator Benuniont. The discovery is the result of years Df eTperimeting with blool elements i nui microbes in order U> make pos- sible the fixation of th-j bacillus of frjt and month disease which is so infinitesimal, that it could not be re- tained in the most minute filters. Once this was accomplished, it would be possible to cultivate the zerni. Fixation now has been accomplished, and the serum has been made in small quantities through a phagocytic pro- University Finances. "A university supported by the state for all its people, for all its sons and daughters with their tastes andi aptitudes as varied as mankind, can place no bounds upon the lines of its endeavor, else the state is the irre- parable loser." (From the inaugural i address of Charles Kit'ii^rd Van Hise. j late president of the IJ versity ofj Wisconsin.) -^ Service such as that indicated in this quotation is being attempted by the Provincial University of Ontario, but this service is jrreatly curtailed by the lock of funds. The University j of Toronto must "get along" on an annual income on which a United Suites university of equal size would [ starve. So cramped are the accom- modations of the Provincial Univer- j sity that the President's home has' been expropriated and is beir.sr "made over" into classrooms. Of all the tinury and uninspiring environments imaginable for purposes of teaching that of an old house made to serve as a school is the worst! Yet the Uni- versity of Toronto uses six old houses for classroom accommodation ! On June 10th approximately niiw hundred graduates received their de- grees from the Provincial University. Computed in dollars, what are these highly-trained leaders worth to the Province? As well ask a father how much money his child: is worth to him. The Urriversiity of Toronto is struggling to do an immense work on ' a relatively meagre income. The ac- ceptance by the Provincial Govern- ' ment of the University Commission's Report would solve the problem. England during recent months has been importing butter in quantities unparalleled since 1913 and scarcely paralleled since them, having received 112,729,t)80 pounds from January 1 to April 1, a total almost twice as great as that received during the cor- responding period of 1920. The am- ount of butter imported in Engla:. . during the corresponding period of 1913 totaled 114.001.440 pounds. An- ticipation of an advance in price fol- lowing decontrol may have been re- sponsible for the unusual volume of recent imports. The sources from which England received this butter show an import- ant change. The Antipodean colonies which ir.jrca.^od their butter produc- tion durir.;* the war are eager to be- conr. : the most important source of I i's future permanent supply. Argentina is also looking to the Eng- lish market as an outlet for her sur- plus production having delivered 22,- 697,584 pounds of butter in England during tha first three months of 1921, compared with but 4.245,584 pounds during the same period in 1913. Can- ada, while not fulfilling the hopes of the English butter trade, is now pro- moting the butter industry, confident that the United Kingdom will afford an unlimited market in the future. Denmark, always the chief source of England's imports, is m-eeting the new competition offered by New Zea- l:uui, Australia. Argentina and Can- ! ada by accepting lower prices. In j spite of that fact, imports from Den- mark during the first three months of 1921 show a decrease of 48.2 per cent, compared with imports from that country during the corresponding . period of 1913. Butter prices are declining gradu- ally in England. The large govern- ment stc?k-- remaining unsold on March 31, when decontrol took place exarted a depressing influence upon the English butter market. 1919 Class Troops Replaced by 1921 Class A despatch frcm Paris says: Sol- diers of the class of 1919, who wre mobilized early in May for duty on '. the Rhine, in the Duesseldorf area, commenced returning to Paris on Thursday. Two thousand of them went diect ' to the city barracks, where they will be demobilized in a lew days and re- rarp.fo to their homes. The 1919 class troops gradually are being replaced on the Rhine by sol- diers of the class of 1921, who now are in training. Plenty of Scope for It. "Imagination Is a wonderful thing, isn't it?" "Yes, I suppose it iff, but what made yr.u think of that now?" "Oh. I've just been reading the new seed catalogue." Weekly Market Report Mrs. W. E.

Will Take Four Men a Month to Count Money in U.S. Treasury. A ilciprUch from N;w York says: Thv task of counting, piece by piece and r.jte by r.ate. the large st, amount of (raid ;md gold certificates ever' brought together in one spot in the history of the worl.l lias been under- taken by four of the fastest counters in the emp'.oy of the Govt :; :i:nunt. These four men constitute a bcanl representing the Treasury Depart- ment and the Mint, and it is th*.' : .r task to check up and calculate the amount of gold now held by the United States Assay Office, with cer- tificates held there, ami to certify the amounts as correct to the last penny. Just how much gold the memlbers of the board will be obliged to count will not be mad public by the Assay Office officials. In fact no figures ever have been given out as to the amount of gold the vaults hold. It is known, however, that the amount is upwards of $10,000,000.000, and probably close to $1,260.000,000. It is the largest amount, of gold ever concentrated in one spot. Toronto. Manitoba wheat No. 1 Northern, $1.85 V No. 2 Northern. $1.8-1%; No. | 3 Northern. $1.70%; No. 4 wheat, $1.9%.
