an Interesting Account oi Matters of Special

Interest to Prince Edward Island,

lion. Premier Arsonault rotlii-nod

yesterday from Ottawa, whore he at- tended a number of conferences to consider matters in connection with the war. One oi’ the conferences pre- sided over by Sir James Lollglieed. President of the Military ilospitllls (foinmiseion, was attended by repre- sentatlves from all the provinces. lt had reference to the care of relllrii- ed insane soldiers and :lriangenients were arrived at by which each prov- ince has undertaken to care for its own returned insane soldiers. The liospitills tlomniissioii lltidertakcs to recoup t.lic provinces for thc experts- ns of this mainteiiance. lt is pleas- ing t.o note in this connection that 1'. Fl. island is`tho only province in (junada to wlltoli, so fur, no soldiers have i'et.lll'neil in this condition which speaks weIi_for the healthy young intinliood of this inland.

Anollier conference presided over

by the new Minister oi' Agricliltlii-i»., lion. Mr. (‘rernr riiscilsserl `tlie provi- sion ot' at-;riclllt.iil‘ul labor. This slltirt- nge is especially acute in Oiltario and the provinces of. liiallltoba. Sa:-ilratclie wan and Alberta. 'l‘lle coiii`erenc'e sat two days including un evening session :uid drew uu a iiuinbcr of recoinnien rllitionn, which are to lie dealt. wlt.Ii ily the Federal (lovcrilllicnt. lliil.il :lc- tion is taken upon them it is not. coll- ntdered desirable to niake tlimii pub- II4' liou.Mr.Arsentl\ilt interviewed ditfereiit. riepartliients oil iuatters of interest to this province. and negotiations have been initiated with a view to glvingi this province direct telephone colli- iliuncation with New Brunswick. This‘ will afford the Island telephonic coil- ncction with the other provinces and the United States.

lie also interviewed the Ministei' oi'

Railways and Mr. Hayes. General Manager for the eastern divislon,.who' happened to bl' in Ottawa at the time, with reference to transportil- tion matters. Ali has tllready beell noted in thc press application has been made for ii large appropriatioii for the improvement of governiueiit railways and raHwa1rservices,fa'gcii- erous share ot which will benppro- ‘ printed towardirlmprovernent of thc P. E. Island system, ilicludiiig new engines, ballasttng and new cars.

The strenuous work done by the

railways ilot only iii Canada but ill the United States in connection wltll tho war has had its ciiect on all rail way systeiiis. Prince Ed\\'al'd Island is not the only place that has sul`i`cr- ed during tho present winter. Tllcre is practically not a single railway iii Canada or the United States that has been able to run on scliedule time. On the trip to Ottawa thc Ocean Limited was fifteen hours ltllc arriving in Montreal anti thc C. P. R. was un hour and li hull' into on the trip i'roiii Montreal to Ottawa. The express trains between Montreal and Toronto and Ottawa and Toronto nro froiii two to three hours late every day.i and during the stormy wcathor ull the train service was absolutely dem! oralized. Wrecks on different rail-| ways have been quite frequent dur- ing the winter. and every traveller one meets from the United States has the same story oi' delay and diiiiculty. One gentleman from this province who has been travelling in the United States for the past three weeks, told Mr. Arseniiuit the only t.rain on which be travelled that was on time was the one that onine from Srlckvllle -to 'l‘or- meiitltie oil the iiiuch illiilsed N, ll. &

iatoes oil his beilalf and the l)epi|i't- inent. will ship them and sell them to their brokers paying the proceeds to the sellers.

Enquiries niade iii Ottawa by Mr.

Arsenault indicate that iii all likeli- hood tllrce if not thc four Unionist candidates in this province will be elected Iiy thc soldiers' votes. ‘

He dwelt on the great moral effect caiiscd ill Great Britain by the war activities ot' this Doiiiiiiion, limi said that a very wut-iii feeling existed in Great Britain and France which was boilnd to knit clos- er together these great countries and the Dominion.

The tfiiliinet, Ministers in Ottawa

are working well togctllcr. lt. liitlst not be illiagiiicd that theirs is xl sine curc at present. 'l`liey are all ox- tromoly busy-men. .working twelve ind fifteen hours ll day and even longer. Party politics is absolutely tabooed and the sole aim ot' all is how best and how quickest to win the war. There exists tl serious shortage of foodstuff and a great caltipaign is about to be inaugurated i'or greater production in 1918` and 1919. 4 There is especially al sllortzigc iii wlieat and wheat pro- ducts and pork, and it will not be sur prisiiig it' an order is made at an early date forliiddiug the use ot’ white ilollr. Tile fact that lligh prices are not obtainable this year should not tiiscourugc thc potato growers. The srirplus existing' this ycur is.not like ly to exist iicxt year. Ally surplus on hand can be profitably ilscd in hog feeding us high prices are :lssiircd t'or this product t`or sonic' years to come.

There is a serious shortage of coal

:ln the upper provinces, and it is be- ing doled out by daily allowances. A few days ago Mr. Crothers, Minister ot Labor. telephoned for ii load ot coal. In reply he was told that4250 iwuuds ,was theallowance, and he had to take his -tiirh like others. If the shortage continues it may be that some of the le essential industries may have to glnose down as in the United States.

With reference to the potato situ-
