MAN STILL UNCONSCIOUS. — Mr_ Daniel MacQuarrle is still un- conscious in the Prince Edward Island Hospital. H0 has not re- gained consciousness since he was found on the Malpeque Road at one o'clock Sunday morning. His skull was fractured. RCMP. officials re-

uest that any person knowing any- t lng about his movements Satur- day night, which would be of any in- formation in the case, to notify them. They would also greatly ap- preciste hearing from anyone who gave MacQuai-rie a lift along the road that night. If anybody can furnish any information in this connection they are asked to com- municate with the R.C.M.P.at Char- lottetiown.

Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart. of Newton, Mass, accompanied by their daughter, Ivks. Campbell, and Mrs. Charles Stewart of Vancouver are here on a short motor holiday among relatives and friends.

Insects Cause Worry To Island Farmers

The bulk of the hay crop has already been harvested. in the province and a 200d crop "POW" ed. Fine weather favored the farmer during the harvesting 0f this crop. Insects are the chief worry on the farm at FY9591“- however.

Mr. Fred Shannon. Entomolo- gist of the Science services at the Experimental Farm, said last niillll that grasshoppers have served lio- tice that they may be troublesome before the summer is ovcr. several reports of damage from this source has been reported already. 'I‘licsc insects were particularly harm- ful in the Murray Harbour and Argyle shore district last season. he said.

The pear slug on cherry trees in the province has cruised anx- iety to their owners. This inst-ct resembles a small worm and eats the leaves of the tree leaving only the veins. Another bothersome lil- scct. the blister beetle. has made its appearance in larrze numbers this year. It is to be found in al- most every potato flcld in the province. Mr. Shannon said. ‘The insect is easily controlled with poison, he added. It is also found in the vegetable garden.

No report of any trouble with army worms has been received by Mr. Cannon yet and it is possible that the Island may escape n visit from this harmful insect. It rather early to make this pre- diction ni: present. however. as the insect would not make its nip- pearance general until next week. Mr. Cannon said. The “Plwilfflnce of army worms has been reported in the other li/tariilmefiffroviiirrg?

Britain Likely To Refuse U. S. Envoy's Plea

LONDON. Aug. 6-(CP)—-Grcat Britain. it was indicated tonight. probably will refuse a plea b_v thc Unitccl states Ambassador to Bel- [giilin that the British Navy per- ‘mit shipment of food from Am- cricn to nvcrt starvation in Bel- ,gium and elsewhere in Europe.

An informed British source said lit is “unlikclv that Britain will allow onv food into German-oc- cupied Europe."

The envoy. John Cudahy, had declared that. conditions "close to fanllnc" will prevail in Belgium b_v mid-Scptcmbcr unless Ameri- cnu shipments get through.

Within n few hours after Cud- ahys prediction. tllis British com-

l

mcnt discounting it was forth- cominirt— "It is not. at all certain that

Eilrope will be in such a bad wily lover food as Mr. Cudnhy thinks. Belizitlm and other occupied coun- tries will have to make up their shortages from Germany. If the Germans are prepared to share fullv there probably won't be any famine in Europe this winter." This source added that the 0f- -ficinl British attitude toward re- llaxriilon of tn‘- blockade is not. ilikclv to be defined until a test case arises-that is, when a food ship encounters the blockade which extcnds from Africa to the Arctic. Cudahv said he would present the food situation when he re- turns to the United States next iweek and "further present the re- allty of dealing with force as the only power." He would not am- ‘ lify the remark. l The interview underscored Bri- ‘fallvs blockade dilemma: How can ‘the British navy tighten the eco- ‘noniic squeeze on Germany with- iout squeezing friend and foe alike? What assurance could Britain have that free LEESBEB of food sup- plies to the Netherlands. Belgium and France—all erstwhile allies- would not work to the benefit of

Germany? Guarantees might be had. through the international Red

Cross, that supplies permitted to pass the blockade would reach civilian populations in France and the Low Countries. but even that would be a weakening of Bri- lain's economic warfare-on the theory: that Germany otherwise might be compelled to share her larder with the conquered peoples.

“will Register Women In This Province

Miss Margaret P. l-Iyiidman. K. C., Toronto, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Director of Organi- zation of the National Commitse for the Voluntary Registration of Canadian Women. arrived in Char- lottetown yesterday. She is here in connection with the formation of a Provincial Committee for the voluntary registration of women and will leave for St. John tomor- row.

Tlhis voluntary registration of Canadian women was commenced over a year ago-before war was declared—and its purpose was to band the women of Canada to- gelher in order that they might be in a position to serve their na- tion ut short notice in time of na- tional distress. In case of earth- quakes, floods, tornadoes, crop fail- ures. forest fires, grave economic depressions. epidemics, war, etc. the authorities would have a list of names of the women aible and prepared to render “intelligent and efficient" service when this regis- tration ls finished. It is expected that there will be about 250,000 Canadian women registered under this scheme. Only Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick have

_. not been organized so far for the

wluntary registration.

Unlike the National Registration of men and women to take place this month, this form of registra- tion is purely voluntary. There is nothing compulsory about it. A questionnaire containing twenty- elght questions is submitted each woman and the answers to these queries gives specific in- formation as to the training and qualifications of the applicants. A survey of the information‘ a1- ready received on these cards in various provinces of the Dominion reveals that there are thousands of women in every line of work who stand ready and qualified to take their place in the agricultural, in- dustrial and economic life of Can- ada iif the need arises.

The committee which Miss Hyndiman proposes to have set up in this province will be composed of women whose objective will be to secure infoiuiatlon and to tab- ulate it properly. so thatit may be used by the Government and oth- er organizations in Canada doing war work. She has organized such committees in almost every other province in Canada and the re- sponse has been very encouraging.

Modern System

In the tabulation of the informa- tion the most modern system of card-indexing is made use of. The same system is used extensively in the British War Office at present. Duplicate cards are made out, one to be retained at Headquarters, one for the Provincial Government and another for the Dominion Govem- ment.

The work of preparing the cards

was all voluntary and was nearly all clone in the City of Toronto. Five thousand girls gave three hours a week, some more, in pre- paring them. This work, if it had to be paid for at the minimum rate. would have cost in the neighborhood of 331x00. Not. one dollar has been received from any the Federal Government for carrying on the work. Neither was a public appeal made for funds. The work was mostly paid for by voluntary con- tributions.

It lvas pointed out by Miss I-Iynd- man that whereas it may be some time bcforc the information on the questionnaires of the National Registration can be used. the lists of the voluntary registrations are available and are already in use in many parts of the country. Per- haps the mosf. important use that is being made of t-he lists is in connection with the bringing of refugees to this country. One of the questions on the questionnaire is, "Could you take children or a- dults into your heme temporarily? Now, cr in an emergency?" In re- spouse to this inqtiirv a list of homes for 100,000 children has been available.

The voluntary registration pre-

list of the loyal and patriotic wom- en of Canada, skilled in their ovm line of work, who are eager to be of service and ready at a moment's notice to take their places oil the farm, at the seashore. in a factory, in a munitions plant. in camp or hospltal—wherever they may be needed.

Mr. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of National War Services. has request- ed the Committee to continue the work of women's registration across Canada.
