BRUSHTFIRES

Overcast skies and showers

throughout Prince Edward Island yesterday brought relief toanxious farmers and proveda God-send to terrified residents of forest-fire areas in Tyne Valley and Bt. Pet-

ers. The long-sought rain came car- 1y yesterday morning after 29 days of drought. Some of the root crops were destroyed by thc long diy spell and early wheat in many parts of the province did not fill, but the moisture was not entirely te late and will be of great benefit to perched farm and woodhnds. With no further damage to

property reported and fires in this district confined to the woods, residents last night took well- earncd rest as the skies opened and heavy showers poured down on sn ldering woodlands- It was believed the menace would be wiped out by morning.

The blaze broke out at Ellerslie

Monday and swept across 2,000 acres of valuable wood lots de- stroying f"r homes and three barns lying in its path. Damage could not be estimated last night but it was said to run into thous- ands of dollars. Fir:-fighting' equipment from

O'Leary left the scene Wednesday night and residents who had been battling the blame-front turned in for their first nights :ost in four days.

Heavy showers poured down on thickly-wooded Goose River ,dis- trict last night striking a telling blow to forest-fires which have ravaged woodlands there for the past foiir days. The fires had raged through the thick tlmberland until shortly after noon yesterday when the first drops of rain were felt. Last night with .the sky overcast and rein still pouring down. the flames had died. Eight buildings in the fire-area were destroyed since the out- break Monday night and a tract of timber "ve miles square was wiped out. , No flames could be seen last night _-.ld farmers who had been standing guard of their homes re- tircd to their beds after a four- day watch. One home in the centre of the destroyed woodland district stood unscnthed yesterday, having es- caped miraculously when the blaze was at its height. Flames were said to have been burning on all sides of the building at one time. The occupants. Mr. Angus McIntyre and family, escaped unhar-med.

N ight Show

Even a good old heavy shower of

rain, could not dampen the ardoul' of the fans who attended last nights Horse Show and Vaudovlllo programme. An exceptionally lull’ number of people, considering the unfavourable appearance of the weather, were on the grand stands and bleachers, and remained throughout the evening.

was shown. including thc Oimso sensation, which lt was not possible to put on in the afternoon. and D'Loma, with his high pole wt- Thc Horse Bhow events were all carried through. When the Musical' Ride came on, the rain was pouring down intorrents. but the boys of the Light Horse were not.a bit dis- mayed, and faced the elements with the same composure that th¢1 would face a hostile enemy on the battle field. They performed their beautiful ride, doing each part of it very thoroughly, and it was much admired.

assured a Social Credit Government tonight as a 15 year reign by tho United Farmers of Alberta came to an end.

And with the success ofthe Al-

berta Social Credit League at the polls came the opportunity for "baaic dividends" for all adult Al- bertans and the new economic deal promised by Social Credit support- ers.

At ll p.m. (3. a.m. A.D.T.) the

Social Credit League had elected 23 members to the Legislature, and W. R.. I-Iowsan, Liberal leader, was the only other party member elect- ed. All of the Social Credit mem- bers will be entering the Legisla- ture for the first time.

Eighteen seats that went to

Social Credit nominees previously were in the 'United Farmers of Alberta column, two were held by Liberals, two by Independent mem- bers rntl one by Labor.

Premier Rleid, lacing defeat in

Vermilion- conceded defeat of his Government- William Aborhart, leader of the Social Credit league, would make no clmment. While not a candidate, Mr. Abcrharr in- dicated he would accept the prem- iership if his party were success- ful at the polls.

Three Cabinet members-Hon.

Perren Baker, Hon. George Houd- ley and Hon. J. J. Mactcllan- had gone down to defeat and all the others had only a slim chance of election- F. C. Moyer, leader of the Independents, was deafeated in Drumheiler. D- `M. Duggan, Conservative leader, expected elec- tion in Edmonton; W. R. Howson Liberal Leader, was elected in .Ed- monton. '

Will Uphold League Covenant

The cabinet emphasized. the in-

formant sa-id, its determination to support the covenant of the league and all treaties.

He added the League of Nations

must decide the type of sanctions to be employed in event of hostil- ities and how forcefully they are likely to be employed.

(The authoritative Italian news-

paper Giornale d'Italia said today "sanctions mean war”).

Brltaln's leaders, however, voted

to maintain a policy against single- handed British action or sanctions alone against the aggressor-in other words the cabinet decidea Britain will not become a lone po- liceman lf’ other powers "dodge" treaty and League obligations.

The cabinet surprised most

quarters by temporarily maintain- ing the ban on arms exports to both Ethiopia and Italy. Mainten- ance of the ban was regarded as a. gesture to Italy.

New Peace Moves

New peace moves toward Italy were initiated at the urgent request of Premier Laval of France. Laval. it was leamed. urged Hoare and Eden to approach Mussolini fur- ther in diplomatic channels-

Britain will make overture-s di-

rect and in conjunction with Laval. 'I‘he two governments will continue to explore the possibilities of a peaceful solution right up to and including the Geneva meeting.

If their peace efforts break

down, then proposals for sanctions will follow, the Associated Press was told.

The cabinet agreed a formal ao-

proach to the United States on the question of cooperation outside the League is not necessary at present. The Associated Press was told Britain will go to any length under the covenant jointly with other powers to try to prevent war.

Premier Stanley Baldwin left

London tonight to rcsumo his in- terrupted vacation.

f (A. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) LONDON, Aug. 22-Great Britain, an advised inform-

ant told the Associated Press tonight, will' go to any length under the League covenant. to try to prevent war

If other powers join her, he said, she will subscribe

not only to financial and economic pressure upon the ag- gressor but to the use of military, naval and air sanctions. (In other words display of force). She will even consider joint closure of the Suez Canal.

The informant' said the cabinet, in emergency session

today, decided to seek a peaceful settlement by every pos- sible device but, if that fails, to advocate the use of the strongest League instrumentaiities provided-and this was definite-she does not stand alone. Britain does not intend to police the world single-handediy, he said.

This followed upon the shooting

of Baron Muzzl Falconi, an Italian consul. which both Italian and Ethiopian officials described as ac- cidental while he was on a hunt- ing trip.

Baron Falconi was seriously in-

A general mobilization has not

yet been proclaimed in Ethiopia, but conccntratlon of troops has been proceeding quietly for weeks.

Ethiopian officials said Baron

ROME. Aug. 22-“Sanctions mean

Proposals in certain sections of the British press that the Buea

that a, free export of arms to Ethi- opia be authorized, the newspaper cited as "hostile acts’ which might embroil the two nations.

Such action, Giomale said. would

not only transfer the East African controversy to Europe but possibly would inflame the entire world.

Former Official Of Agriculture Dept. On Visit

Dr. J. L. Tennant, who was con-

nected with the Department of Agriculture here from' 1914 to 1919, and who is now engaged in econ- omic research work in Rhode Is- land State College, is now revisit- ing scenes of his former labours. He is accompanied by Mrs. Ten- nant who twenty years ago came here as a bride. They are renew- ing many old acquaintanceships.

On leaving Prince Edward Is- land in 1919, Mr. Tennant pro- ceeded to Comell University, from which he received the degrees of M.S-A. and Ph.D. He specialized in agricultural economics in market- ing. Subsequently he held several important posts in Texas and oth- er states. He has been engaged in his present work of research in connection with fluid milk market- ing in Rhode Island since 1928. Last June he attended conferences of agricultural economists in Ger- many, England and Scotland.

'I'he most important agricultural

product in Rhode Island is fluid milk, states Mr. Tennant. Market- ing the product constitutes a real problem. Poultry, market garden crops and fruit follow milk in rr- der of importance, It is a common thing to see eighty to ninety cows on twenty acres of land.

Mr. and Mrs. Tennant note

many changes in Charlottetown in sixteen years. During the next few days they plan to drive through the Island to revisit familiar scenes. They will remain in the province till Monday or Tuesday

next.
