Village 0f Bradalhane In Flames

The village of Bradalbane was in flames early this morning, reports reaching here indicated. The blaze was believed to have broken out in the general store own- ed by Murdock Kennedy. It was discovered before 3 o’ciock. By 4 o’ciock fears were held for a large por- tion of the village and the general store owned by Bruce Davlson was said to be in flames, together. with a building owned by Walter Martin. What type of build- ing the latter was could not be immediately ascertained.

Calls for help were sent

both Charlottetown and Summerside but at the time of writing it was not known what assistance was being sent.

Bucket brigades were be- lng hurriedly organized in

an attempt to stem. the rap- idly spreading flames.

Endeavours to learn more of the situation by telephone calls from here were almost fruitless. The rural tele- phone lines hummed with calls-for help and in or- ganization work in connec- tion with the fight.

Sub- Committee On

uled To Meet This Week.

OTTAWA. Nov. 13—Pla.ns to give the public more details of Canadas war eiifort will be form- ulated this week by the sub-com- mittee of the cabiiletoll public information headed by Labor Min- ister Mcllarty, The Canadian Press learned today.

Suggestions and pleas to the Government to give the Canadian people a better idea of how tihe country's war effort is being stop- ped up, it is understood, have been pouring in on the committee and it; YIICIIDDEYS are agreed that some- thing more should be done.

Tile cflnmiittee will decide, it is learned, whether to have one man 0r roup of men supervise all pub lciiy, or to develop publicity machinery presently functioning in each department to greater effec- tiveness, each department oper- atihg on its own.

When Canada first entered the war the duties of the cabinet com- mittee on public information were generally believed to be two fold —-flrst-, to establish a censorship committee which would have the effect of limiting the flow of news and second, a news bureau to see that the public was given all the news that could possibly be releas- ed. One organization would act as an offset to iihe other.

N“ Iltisfled

The censorship side has been built up and has been functioning satisfactorily but members of the cabinet committee, it Ls learned, are not satisfied that the other side of the project, the develop- ment of information, has been as thorough as it should be and are determined to see what can be done about it.

Mr. Mollarty was transferred from head cf the post office de- partment to become head of the Lalbor Department and Hon. C. G.
