Further, last winter in the House of Assembly, in answer to a ques-

tion all tlic papers and accounts in any wise connected with this matter were furnished by the committee in charge and laid upon the table of the House open for inspection by every member from day to day. Yet the Patriot deliberately and falsely stated that this grain was lying on a public wharf being eaten up by rats owing to the gross negligence of the Government and that statements of account were withheld. 1

lt is impossible to estimate the damage which may be done by false

statements of this kind. If a traitor in our country were desirous of doing injury to the cause of Britain in this war there could be no more effective method than to shake the confidence of our people in those \vh0 are charged with the responsibility of carrying on the Government, especially in matters appertaining to the war, and to persuade the people that it was useless for them to contribute of their means to the support of our armies engaged in the war. There is no language too strong to apply in condemnation of such conduct. V

The persistence in this series of falsehoods in the face of a knowl-

edge of the facts is the worst feature of this evil case.

OTHER FALSE CHARGES.

. I

Let me dispose of another false charge. When the cargo was being

made up application came from the Eastern Canneries, a combination of lobster factories, which had some unsold stock on hand, to carry, on the usual terms, some 50 cases for which they had found a market in France. These were stored in the cabin displacing not one bushel of oats. Owing to the Customs regulations they could not be landed in France nor in England and they were returned on the ship to Newfound- land. They did not belong to-Mr. McLean nor had he any interest in them. The story has also been industriously circulated that Mr. McLean’s son, who went as supercargo on the boat, received the sum of $12 per day for his services. There is no truth in this. Mr. McLean gave his services free. He never asked for anything, nor was he prom- ised anything, nor did he receive one cent. His services were given free and they were invaluable.

The controversy over the part of the Macedonia contest'by Serbia and the course of the second-Balkan war will be settled after the present war ends.

Proportlnate compensation ls to

be given to Serbia, including the clty of Kavala, with the districts of Kavala and Sores with the right of immediate occupation.

Bulgaria on her side, renounces

forever, penteuslons to Salonika, Von- dla and Uskub. She promises also to declare war immediately upon Tur- key, aided by funds of the four allies. Bulgaria. the correspondent declares, will receive further territorial con- cessions in Turkey.

lt may be that Serbia and Greece

will give way under pressure by the entente powers. but negotiations wlll be lengthened by the reluctance or the King of Greece to consent to any eesslon of territory. ‘

The magic song which carried the

by the slgnltleance of the occasion from his customary classic form of speech uttered words of confidence and defiance which were admirably ox- pressive of tho feeling of the whole country. After denouncing in scath- liig terms the hypocritical diplomacy wltli wlilcli Germany had prepared for tlie wal' and the shameful and coward- ly proposals wlilch she had made to Great Brltaln and which were con- temptuously rejected by the British sense of honor, he discussed the basis of peace ln terms which show clearly by the slmllarlty of such declarations niaile ln Great Britain and elsewhere that the Allies are as firm and united as ever.

But since we have been forced to
