Opposition Leader In New Brunswick Calls F '0 r United Front In Procuring Rights.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) FREDERJCTON, N. B., March l0—“Discord among the Maritime Provinces would, at the present time, be deadly to the attainment oi our aims." declared Hon. F. C. Squires, opposition leader in the Legislative Assembly here today. as he urged the New Brunswick Government and the people oi the province to fight constantly and unitedly for liinritirne rights. "The Dominion of Canada. is full of false theories about us," he said. “They try to adjust our right; ac- cording to our population. This cannot be done, and we must scourge from their minds this false doctrine.

“We contain the Maritime ele- ment. Without us, Canada cannot achieve her desti -' greatness We are a maritime people, even those who live inland. This fact must be realized and we must be measured not by our proportion of population but by our importance to Canada as a whole.

"We came into the union on this basis and none other. Saint. John fights for the grain traffic, and a, constant and unending effort is made to divert this traffic to Am- erican ports. They will not allow us to stand on the land and would close for us the paths of the sea.

i Death Last Night Of

GREAT BRITISH NAVALHERU PASSES iwiv

Admiral Beatty, 0f “Jutland” Fame.

LONDON, March lib-Bari Beatty, former Admiral of the Fleet, died late tonight. He had been iii for several weeks. He was 85 years old.

Death came to the war-time naval hero at the London home for the aged where he had been under treatment.

His son, Viscount Borcdaie, and a doctor and nurse were at his bedside.

Beatty‘: condition became aer- ious after he attended the funeral o! the late King George.

The Admiral predicted his death last November after he had left a sickbed to attend the funeral of Earl Jeliicue.

“So Jeiilcoe is" gone.” he said then. "I feel I'll be the next to be summoned. I don't think the call will be long. I'm tired, very tired."

Among those who attended Earl Beatty during hi; last illness were Ibcrd Herder, physician to the King, and Sir Maurice Cassidy, the heart specialist who was call- ln during the fatal illness of King George last January.

Beat _/ was one of the few re- maining Grcat War figures still alive in Great Britain.

His death within four months of that of Admiral Jcliicoe removed the two outstanding figures in the navy during the war. Jellicoe was in command of the Grand Fleet in the North Sea 1mm the time war broke out until the end of i916. Then he was succeeded by AdiniraiBeatiyn . . . .

Beatty was placed on the retired list as an Admiral of the Fleet on Jan. 17 last, when he reached the age limit 0f 65.

His death indirectly created a vacancy in the House of Com- mons. The helr to the title, his son Viscount Borodale, is Con- servative member for Camberwell- Peckman.

A Doughty Fighter

"A grim personality, a .dought.y fighter, certainly not rash and im- petuous but leaning rather to cold- ness and calculation. He inspired in those around him confidence rath- er than affection. He was more masterful than genial, more dour than breezy."
