Mr. George McLean, Conservative Can- didate Rec elves Great Hearing From Crowded Audience

Iona Hall was crowded to the doors last .evening with interested and enthusiastic electors of the dis- trict and vicinity to hear the d:f-. ferent candidates, Memrs. McLean, Bruce and Bentley who will contest the coming by-election on the 16th. inst, and also to hear various other speakers representing both parties.

Mr. E. L. Harrington, Eldon, pre- sided ln a capable and efficient manner.

Mr. McLean, Conservative candi- date, the first speaker was cheered lustlly as he took his place on the platform. In a. speech which was eloquent and forceful he reviewed the recent election ‘campaign in his district. He said he for one took his defeat cheerfully. He thanked the various electors for their past sup- port and looked forward to a sub- stantial majority in the coming contest.

. Referring to the last election he said the Liberals did not defeat the Conservative party: it was the former supporters of the party, dc- celved by the Saunders Govern- ment, that were arrayed against them. He referred to the attacks of various members of the Liberal Government on Mr. Bentley, who‘ he said was a “God“ to the Saund- ers followers during the last elec- tion. However, after the election there was a row in the Liberal camp and they have been fighting ever

The speaker dealt at some 1ength| on the recent wholesale buying of road machnery to the amount of approximately $100,000.00. Who got the commission? We tried to find out, ‘but to no avail. Messrs. Lea. Duffy and McIntyre have failed to give any explanation. Mr. Lea said he had the correspondence, but :0 date has failed to show it. Mr. Mc- Lean quoted the Minister of Public Works as saying that “the roads oi the Island are all boulevards." Well. said the speaker, if the Hon. gentleman has traveled over some of the roads of our school dia- trlcts, he certainly would not refer to them as boulevards-they are the worst roads at the pres- ent time in the history of any gov- ern ‘. (Applause).

Speaking brieily on the "old age pensions", Mr. McLean stated that the Liberal candidates had prom- ised the electorate oi this province. that each person over seventy years of age would receive a pension, but what is the result? (Loud ap- plausc).

Mr. Callum Bruce, Liberal candi- date although allowed a generous amount oi time. merely asked for the support of ‘the electors, saying if he was elected. he would do all he could.

He said he had always been a Con- servative and is a Conservative yet, although invitations had been ex- tended to him on different occas- ions, but he had always declined. He said he did what he thought best for the interests of the peop- le, but when I rise upon the plat- form today they condemn me. I was asked during the last cam- ppaign, "how do you know they (Saunders Government) will keep their promises?" I told them, if

they fail I will take the earliest opportunity of coming before you went on to severely score the they are failing to implement their promises today, and that the gov-

Mr. Lea knows that liquor is being consumed in places but docs not do anything about it. therefore when the poorer class sec that others are breaking the law in this regard, they say, why cannot we do likewise. The speaker concluded by repeating that he has not stood for compromising and does nct intend to, as his good fri- end Mr. Lea asks him. The gov- ernment of today, added the speak- er, is in competition with the boot- legger in the dispensing of alcoholic liquors. Thye are competing with the bootlegger in order to kccp the bootlcgger down. The government says, "if you buy from us you are

LONDON, Eng., August l0. — Great Britain has thrown her last reserves of science into the fight to wrest from Germany the honor of launching the first trans-Atlantic air liner.

Two giants of the air, the British R-IOO now being built at Howden, and the German LZ-lli’! nearing completion at Friedrlchshafen, will make their first flights soon. The one finished first will be recorded in history as making the first com- mercial flight over the Atlantic.

The Germans are now in the lead. ‘Their Zeppelin is expected to be in the air before the middle of August whereas it will be toward the end or September before the British are ready to test the R-IOO. Constructional difficulties, the fail- urc of materials to arrive and other factors may alter this prospect.

The dimensions and carrying ca- pacities of the two airships are o" uaily astounding. The R-IOO is 709 feet long, practically a seventh of a mile; the Zeppelin is ‘I70 feet long and 116 feet high. Both ships are about half again as large as the American dlrgible the "Los Angel- es."

Each airship is capable cf carry- ing a passenger list of 100 and a crew of 40, but the Germans plan to carry only 20 passengers and concentrate on mail and valuable cargo.

Meanwhile in the background looms up the tremendous shape of what will be the greatest airship in the world, the R-10l, which is building at Cardington, England. It will not be ready until the next year, and will then be placed in use on o. route to India. The R-10l contains a number of new struct- ural ideas, among them being the use of steel in the frame work, in- stead oi duralumin, steel being four times stronger. The R-l0l will carry 25 tons of fuel.

Shipping Held Up . In St. Lawrence

MONTREAL, Aug. l0.—-8hipping in the 8t. Lawrence River was tem- porarily held up for several hours today when three down-bound grain laden ireighters met with ac- cidents near Variennes. Tonight two of them had been released but the third was still hard aground on soft bottom. Passenger liners sail- ing from Montreal were delayed from 11 o'clock in the morning un- til 3 p. m. all precautionary meas- ure. Contrary to early reports it was determined that the channel had at no time been blocked by the mishaps to the irelghters but that liner sailinlfl had been delayed purely as a measure oi caution.

POLA, Italy, Aug. l0.-The dram- atic messages exchanged between the men imprisoned in the submar- ine F-li and the reséucrs were made public today. Both by the submarine telegraph and in notes, they showed that death overtook the imprisoned men while they were still qying to communicate their last thoughts.

The first message received from the submarine, immediately after the sinking, said: “We have six dead in poop. We are standing with poop sunk in the mud. The posit- ion oi the submarine is almost vertical.

After the vessel was raised it was found that only four had died h drowning, the difference being ex- plained by the fact that two other men were imprisoned in the last compartment of the stern, while the captain arid others of the crew were in the prow.

Search for the submarine began immediately but it was unsuccess- ful until seaplanes arrived and lo- cated the wreck. The rescuers im- mcdiately sent this message.

"Be of good cheer. We have found you. Divers are rescending."

Pleaded for Haste

To this the submarine replied: "Morale on board is highest, but poison gases are beginning to form. We plead for haste."

The destroyer Aquitla then steam- qd over the wreck, dragging a
