Hayes, General Manager Government Railways.. Mr. L. S. Brown. Superintendentbf the Eastern Section Mr. C, B. Brown chief Engineer and Assistant General Manager, Mr. W. Appleton.

Mr. 'I‘. B. Grady, Superintendent
of the P. E. island Railway met the party at Borden and- accompanied them through the Railway Works and offices there.
About eleven o'clock they arrived
fn Charlottetown.The Board of Trade had extended an invitation to the party to participate in a car ride to and a dinner at Pownal, but, regret- ably, tbe Ministers time was limited and they were obliged reluctantly, to decline the invitation. ,
Railway Officials.
Several members of the Board of
Trade had an informal conference with the Ministers at the Charlotte- town Club where railway and other matters were briefly discussed. The Ministers expressed themselves as highly pleased with conditions at Borden and along the whole line of railway. Hon. Mr. Reid, the Minister of Railways admitted the necessity of standardizing the railway as speed- ily as possible but the procuring of rallsand labour presented an insu- peruble difficulty at present. He reall- zod that the cost of transferring freight at Borden under present con- ditions was a regrettable expendit- ure and that the only remedy to av- oid this is standardization. No doubt he will, after his inspection, view the Necessity in a new light anti standard- ization may mot be as far off as it looks at present.
The party left on return to Borden
at 2 p. in. They will leave this woek for Ottawa.

Victoria- Park has never presented a moreanlmated appearance than last Friday evening when in the presence of hundreds of visitors including His Honor the Lieut. Governor, His Wor- ship Mayor Wright, Lt. Col. Dsyison, tRev.) Major Fullerton and others, the Cadet Boys oi' the Queen Square and West, Kent Cadet Corps were on ceremonial parade to receive the In- spector for the Maritime Provinces, Capt. Robinson Black. The Inspoct~ ing Officer was received with thc general salute and it was little won- der that _the manner in which the boys carried out this preliminary to their 'inspection work evoked the ap Dlause and cheers of the people wit- nessing auch sn efficient and splend-
id ,exzibitien of»~deportment‘ by the boys nd _steadiness in the ranks.
Following this, the members- of
each Corps marched past in Company Column, led by their respective ln- tructors and Officers, and at the sol- uting base, His Honor the Lieut. Gov- ernor at the request of the inspector took the salute. _
.lt was more than strikingly notice-
able the alertness and stcadluess with whiclrtlie boys instantly obeyed and efficiently' carried out this unusually difficult _part of Ceremonial Drill.
The Inspector than closely scruti-
nized and inspected the rqispectlve Companies accompanied by t. Col. Davison and Lieut. White and also each`Company Officer of the Corps.
Tl18\Q\i on Square Corps was then
put. rough the various movements and formations in Company Drill. Iiffie exercise, extended order drill and pliy ical training--exercise, first by the_l1i_structor of the, Corps and then _by_the7Company Leader and half Copipanli Leader. This Corps was their lifd red to, retire while the West Kent -Boite 'gave a similar exhibition of their knowledge and carrying out of the Drill under their own instruct- or and Officers. `
The overcrowding of the visitors
on the parade ground to be utilized by the boys caused for a time much concern to all who were interested in seeing the boys show up to their very best and it was with difliculty they were made to realize that an inlus tice was being unintentionally done to the boys.
At the close of the Drill the boys
were then lined up, formed into a square and were addressed by Capt. Black and His Worship Mayor Wright.
The inspector was highly compli-
mentary in his remarks and generally congratulated the- Instructors and Of- ficers of both Corps on the splendid and efficient parade by both Cadet Corps. He especially eulogized the boys for their particularly smart, ap- pearance, their steadiness in the ranks, and for the creditable manner in which they carried out_their drill exercises. The Inspector also referr- ed to the much improved work in Physical Training as exhibited by the Queen Square School and ,also spec lfilly mentioned the splendid trained work which the West Kent boys had displayed in their extended order and skirmish drill.

it credit to the instructors and Ollie- ers of the Corps of which they might well be proud. Capt. Black who always talks to the boys in that way which appeals to youthful minds re- iterated again ami again that he had never witnessed a more successful or generally efficient syllabus of Cadet word on the island than than gone through by both Corps on the presciii liispection. Wlillc at the same time, there were many dlstiiictivo features of the respective work carried out in some respects more efficiently by one Corps than the other the Inspector added, it only served to make his task the more difllcult in deciding as to which may be the successful compet- itor for the Provincial Mayoral Cup# ofi`ered through the generosity of Mayor Wright for this years annual inspection in the Province. The Cup oil`ered by ex-Mayor Brown will bc given to the second best Corps in the. Province with it view to this example ot' genuine interest ii: the ivork being continued by each successive Mayor or ex-Mayor to cn courage greater efficiency and keen cr coiiipctitlons amongst the boys. Il is hoped however the inspector stai- ed that while such coinpetltions are being created, they must not be mis- UIld0I‘St00d. and under no circumstan- ces should any feeling of jealousy or resentment be entertained between the respective competing Corps, or any other feature enter into the com- petitor's which should tend to fos tor an unfriendly feeling between the boys or alienate their loyal brotherly love lo ouch other as equal members of the Public Schools of the Prov- ince and whichever; Corps wins the coileted prizes should not indulge in vain boasting or jecring at'the un- successful Corps, but rather be an example and a worthy tribute to the characteristics which are embodied in the gentleman (ladet. Cadets wht- iail :it nil times to measure up to the standard are open to alienate the sympathy and support to which such splendid training is now universally given by those responsible for its in- troduction as the heat foundation for the physical, nientnl and intellect tial development of our boys charac ter and future iminliood.
lils Worship Mayor Wright then
.followed with ii. few remarks express- Iliig his appreciation of the advantag- es of the training and graciously com plied with tho suggestion of the an- inual Mayoralty and ex-Mayoralty trophy being given in competition for greater proficiency in this work ln thi Province.
Cheers were then given for the
King, followed by a regular outburst of cheering and applause for the In- spector nnd Mayor Wrlglit.
The boys then marched from thc
park grounds to their armouries and were dismissed.

(Special to the Guardian) _ _ wAisii-iiNoToN. .inns 15.-The hai-'
tie on the Olse is over, and in default' of movement at the front upon which to comment, the intepreters of past events' and predictors of events to come are turning to the future. Ain though the Iireneh are 'putting the fortifications of Paris into defensible conditloii, and have handed over the
command' of Paris garrison to GeneralI Gulllaumoiit, a veteran leader, the army officers in Washington still ex-I press the view flint the ca-pture oil Paris isvnot contemplated by lhef
set for a renewal of the German main thrust at the British army, with the Lllannel coast as the objective. Q
lt is further stated that "belief hos,
never wavercd among the majority oi' officers liere‘that the real purpose of the German 'general staff' has' been; from the first to cut the allied armies apart by a drive that would carry thcm‘ to the Channel; that, arrived at the* goal, massed attacks would be hurled ag-airiat the northern sector for the' purpose of destroying the Britighl Milly. while a strong defence was maintained against the French to theI south. The thrusts at Paris' have been' looked upon as well planned and ex- ecuted fointa, ilfesigiicd to weaken thc Amicus front before the final effort should be made there." \ These opinions arc interesting, par-
ticularly in view of the fact that Am- erican troops are now holding more than fifty miles of the front, and are still going into France in great num- bers. The part that ‘would be taken by these troops in it battle for the Channel ports' inlgiit prove ii decisive factor in the conflict, for the half inli- lion Americans who have landed in Franco since the German offensive he- gan are to he ' found chiefly on that part oi' the froiii. between the valley of the Somme ami the Bellgiaii const.
The chief argument against the :ic-
_ceptance of Washington's' concliislons
is to be found in the confer-million oi' the German front. At the present moment the enemy has his face set fo- ward Paris by the two river vi-ille_vs,' the Marne and Olse, ‘followed bv armi- es' from time immemorlal 'iii ap-I oroacliing the cnpitai ot' l<‘raiici», from' the north and east of lli|id'cnliurg has paid a 'great price for access to them. llad he pierely mcaiit to secure :i Good defensive. flank on the soutlieiii front as xi 'preliminary to the renewal of the battle of Amicus he 'would not have crossed the Aisne in force. for the heights ol' the Alsne consti- tute the finest natural defences in northern France. The drive forward to the Marne against fiercest opposi- tion proved that Hindeiiburg was seeking a road, not a rampart.
The renewal oi' the fighting on the
edge of tho forest Villers Cotterc. south of the Aisne is another evidence that the enemy still hopes to get .with- in striking dlstiiiicc ol’ Paris. i Berlin .etnies that on both :litlcs of

able claims as to the result of iilr 'lgh-tin-g during May. it is asserted' that the losses of the Allies were: 22 captive balloons and 431 airplanes, of which 223 fell behind the German lines. During the same month it is stated -that the Germans lost in air fighting 180 airplanes and 28 captive balloon-s. Thor-io figures are not fi quarter of the total of German planes claimed to have been des»troy‘cd by 'illictl aviators during May. The bei-it test of the severity of the Germain los- ses is the`aetuiil condition of aerial warfare today. The allied suprcinacy in the air is becoming overwhelming, and the fighting 'luialities oi’ our avia- tors are at high water-mark. These things being so. it is unreasnable that ln aerial fighting uiore than iiwiee ns many allied planes ‘as German should be des‘troy‘ed' in a month. The German return seems to be wanting in candor. There is a catch in it somewhere.
