and the seventh dlcd en route to hospital.
The force of the collision was such the two-coach train ‘was cic- railed. Traffic on the Montreal- bound side of the double-trucks was delayed for more than two hours. The crossing has neiihcr crossing gates nor wig-wag sYF-lZPm of protection but is well-provided with warning signs and the usufll “stop" sign.
On the north side of the track there is a slight dip in the road before it mounts and passes over the tracks and it is thought the driver may have failed to see the train approaching because of this dip. '

ADDIS ABABA, Aug. iL-Ethio- pia is willing to give u part of the Ogadon Province to Italy if she re- ceives financial assistance and an outlet to the sea in return, Emperor Halle Selassie today told- the Haves correspondent.
Ogaden, bordering on Italian Som- aliland, is the southern Ethiopian province in which lies Ualual, scene of the incident which brought the Itaio-Ethiopian conflict to a. crisis. One difficulty faced by the arbitra- tion commission entrusted by the I-cague of Nations with settling this incident is that both countries claim Ualuai.
Selassie’; Offer
The Emperor was asked whether he was willing to make territorial conceszions in return for financial aid for his program of extending civilization, and in order to avoid serious national and international consequences which might result from a. war with Italy, he said:
"We do not wish to see the in- dependence of our country touched. We also do not wish that italian prestige should be affronted.
"It is true that the government still desires to be able to obtain loans to develop our country and. ac-

fire which was discovered short- ly after l0 o'clock last night caused considerable damage to a new barn owned by Mr. Harold Hynes, Montague. Members of the family discovered flames starting from the roof.
The fire is believed to have been due to spontaneous combustion as the loft contained a quantity of new hay,
The roof was burned off and considerable damage done to the

Not Yet Considered
LONDON, Aug. 11.-iC. P. Cable) -In the wake of speculation on the probabilities of an Italo-Ethlopian war in the near future, it was learn- ed tonight the question of barring the Suez Canal to Italian warships ‘has not yet been raised in any di- plomatic form.
Closing of the Suez Canal has figured prominently in discussion of the prospects of deterrent action by the League of Nations Council. it being taken for granted that the tri- power conference opening in P8118 next Friday is unlikely to find any solution of the dilcmna.
A number of international lawyers here have always maintained that
under the Covenant of the League, the Canal could be closed to an ag- gressor by zm unanimous vote of the League, other than the actual par- ties to the dispute, bui; it must be stressed this question has never been put to the test either in the present or any other dispute.

0N SATURDAY
Rays of sunlight, converilqd by a flaw in the window glass. are believ- ed to have started a. $2,000 blau in a two-family ‘ tenement on the connoi- of Spring Street and Brighton Avenue Saturday after- noon.
The fire was discovered when a. young daughter of Mr. Hooper Es- sery, one of the occupants. went to pick up a, cushion leaning against a, porch window. The cushion burst into flames and a startled girl dropped it. A rubber raincoat caught fire and blazed up. setting fir; to the walls and ceiling of the Porch. The blaze quickly spread to the main. building. The flames had token strong hold when the firemen ar- rived ahd it was only after-a sma- bom flBht that they were elftlln
guished.
All the- furniture and contents cit Esseryb side of the house were des- troyed and considerable damagdby smoke and water was caused in the other side, occupied by Mr. George Francis and his family. Almost all the furniture in Mr. Francis‘ house was removed undamaged.
Mr. Ecseryis loss. estimated at $500.00, was not covered by insur- ance.
The damage to the house. which is owned by Mrs. John McAlcer. is estimated at $1,500.00, partlycovcred by insurance.
