(From our Own Correspondent.) » 0'l"l‘A\VlA, Jan. 20.-~Ill il two-ilollrs‘ speccll bristling with facts and figures- anll delivered with that forcc and sill- noriiy which is his llistinglllslllllg cllarulztcrstiu stylc, Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, to-day overwhelm- ed Ml' F. B. Carvcll of Carleton, Hon. William Pugsley of St Jolln. N.B., and other Liberal critics of the work oi' the Militia Department of Canada.

Tile speech of General I-lughcs

created great enthusiasm in the House and was punctuated by Conservative cheers as he discharged one fact after another into the frail structure of allegations and illsinuations rqared by Opposition critics. Many of tile facts lle advanced were entirely new to Parliamcllt and that they came as an overwllelulillg surprise io the Opposi- tion was indlcatcd by the absence of the usual attempts ou the part of Mr Carvell and other Liberal llecklcrs to interrupt tile Minister of Militia. That they did not essay such an cutcl'p|'ise wus perhaps fortunate for themselves since there is little doubt that the Minister would have oratorlcnlly “ wiped the floor" of Parliament with them, backed as hc was by his facts.

Sir Sam Hughes in his discussion of

the Shell Committee. frankly admitted that he was its organizer and pur- posed supporting it to the end. lie briefly sketched the beginning of its formation from the time that thc War Office, on the 24th of August 1014, sent him a letter asking il’ illc Minister could procure for Great Britain un order oi' shells ill the United States. He gave tho history of his difficulties in getting the Canadian lnallufacturcrs to undertake the manufacture of shells in Canada, when at that tinlo none were being nlanufactllrcd except ill the Dominion Arsenal at Quebec.

The Minister exhibited to the I-louse

it shrnpllel shell and cxplaincll its component parts, and also read to the House the ‘ correspollllcnce between the Militia Department and the British Government, which illustrated that

The Minister of Militia also stated

that the funds for all these shell con- tracts were placed to the credit of a special account under the Shell Com-

men armed with Canadian rifles and Canadian ammunition, alld Canadian artillery firing Canadian shells, held back upwards of 100,000 Germans, killing 12,000 of them and wounding 22,000. Tile Minister of Militia llcuicd that tllerc was a little of fact in any of the charges against the Shell Com- mittee. There were many rumours which he investigated, and he chal- lenged any man to show one solitary instance of graft. .

A tribute was paid by the Minister

of,Militia to Colonel Cantley for the experiments in steel which he made

- without receiving ll dollar ill return.

The Minister of Militia resented the suggestion that there had been ally- thing like party politics. in the Depart-

the commanders of the battalions nt

were Libefals and halt' Conservatives. He stated that when both Liberals and Conservatives were dying for King

- and country, it was not a fitting thing

|that politics should be iutrollucell ill the administration of his department. On the Shell Committee, he pointed ollt that several of tile' mcmbcrs were Liberals who had bccn chosen for tllcir efficiency.

LONDON. Jan. 26.-Hostllities ou

`all fronts have dwindled to unimport- ant proportions and the political side of the war has again assumed the chief role in interest. The British Parliament is discussing what steps should be taken to make luore rigid the Governmellt’s plan of keeping goods of all kinds from being imported or exported by Germany. British labour has decided to support the Governmcut to the full ill tile prosecll- tion of thc war.

Tile German anlbnssador at Wash-

ington presented to the American Government ll draft note concerning the sinking of tile Lusitunla, which it is believed will meet all American demands and which. if accepted by the Gorman govemment. will finally end the controversy. ill addition Great Britain has answered tentatively the

The following is the address ol' the

day evening

It ‘has become customary at the All-

nual Meeting of the Board of Trade fol the President to give it resume of the year just closed, and tllkc up the lilies ot' activity oi' the Board dllring that

period.

Before entering upon this however,

l desire to refer to the loss experienc- ed by the Board oi' Trade and the com- munity generally in the untimely death of our late Presldellt, Dr. Mt-Iicllull. Elected our President at our last All nunl Meeting, only a short time elaps- ed before news ot' his l-ulddcll death came to us. He was deeply illtcrcstcd in our Board as also in mlllly llopnri- ments of the lifc of our ’l`o\vll, and his sound lldvlrc and untirlllg energy

have bi-on greatly lnlssful.

Onc of llle iirsi nlllliors brought up

for dlsvllsnlon was lilo qllciltlnll ni' hold- ing the annual moollnu or lilo Mori- tlmo Board of 'i`rulle `llt‘rc. As thin had been offered to Summcrsldo ill 1014, and postponed on :llzcollnt of lilo lv:u', it was felt tllai' as till- oppol-lulliiy was again given us, wc would bo llog- lccling ollr interests and those of our Town ii' wc refused to have this lllout- ing held here. Arrangements .were Uherefore made to carry the matter through, and strong committees were formed to carry out the details. The success ot' the meeting bcnrn testi- mony to the choice matic. Willie the llunlber of delegates was not as large as looked for, the matters presented for discussion were ably treated, to the cllliglltment of all \vllo were able to attend the meetings. , and made for a new departure along thc lilies pres- ented. ill connection with the meet- ing of the Maritilnc Board, wc were fortunate in having Sir Geo. E. Foc- ter address the delegates and general public on the question of Trade and

Commerce. _

Prolialiy thc matter of ouistalldillg

lulportanco. taken up by the Board in its advisory capacity, was the ques- tion of telephone rates and rentals For several years this mutter had been a disputed question ill this Town, and no basis of agreement could be arriv- ed llt. Difficulties arose at various limos, and numerous meetings were held to endeavour to arrive at tl set- tlement. These seemed useless, but at a special meeting of the Board, :lt which the Manager for tile Island, and the General Manager of tile (lonlpally, were present, a schedule ot' rclltaly was submitted. This taken ill coll- junction wit'll the promise of new equipment. which would give us rl system equal to Towns of ll larger size, and would be tllorougllly modern, offered :tn opportunity for tl .settle ment that the Board tllougili l would be unwise to l‘ct`usc. Thr prolllisos made are now boilll.: carried out, :lull while the improvements are not _vet complete, it is evident illc Conlpauy ill- tends to do its puri.

As you are all aware -lilo delnnncl

for tonnage has been very heavy since tho outbreak of this icrriblo wnr,.alui large numbers of freight carrying .stennlers ‘have been put on transport work, while others have been diverted from their regular routes. This has made it very hard to secure steanlers for the regular runs, and Prince Ed- ward Island has suffered in conse- quence. Early in the season our Board endeavoured to make arrnngenlcuts for a steamc; to take thc place of the Mor- wcnnn. withdrawal from this port and since suilk. Difficulties arose, null Cllxtrlotietown llaving nlade arrllllgr- ments with thc Red Cross Line for re- gular calls by one of their bouts, wo were obliged to forego the reguiur calls of a second freight bent. but not without it protest from this lloarll. This condition lasted for a short time only as the fled (‘ross boat was tnkoll away, and through the efforts of tho Board another steamer was at-cllrcll which made trips between I’rinl»r- [Cll- wnrd Island and Ncwfolllldlulld. Willie the boat. was not such as tho service demanded. we were i'ol~tlllnlto in securing her under existing circum- stances. and it is with regret that we refer to her destruction by flrc on bor last trip for the season. One of the Bret duties of the Board for 1916 should be to secure a boat to take up the service thus interrupted. And right here lt' might be well to suggest the possibility of thc Empress being withdrawn from tllc I"oini du (‘-ilclln route, as slated ill corrcsponllcllrzo

glib the Secretary of thc Stenlnsllip

ompany, and point out that this should be looked into without delay. While on the question of shipping it may be fitting to say that n lat-gn number of vessels usually employed in the lumber trade in Europe. have been forced to look for freight on this side df the Atlantic. and in a measure interfere with our own coastwise trade.
