Further, last winter in the House of Assembly, in answer to a ques-
tion all tlic papers and accounts in any wise connected with this matter
were furnished by the committee in charge and laid upon the table of the
House open for inspection by every member from day to day. Yet the
Patriot deliberately and falsely stated that this grain was lying on a
public wharf being eaten up by rats owing to the gross negligence of the
Government and that statements of account were withheld. 1
lt is impossible to estimate the damage which may be done by false
statements of this kind. If a traitor in our country were desirous of
doing injury to the cause of Britain in this war there could be no more
effective method than to shake the confidence of our people in those \vh0
are charged with the responsibility of carrying on the Government,
especially in matters appertaining to the war, and to persuade the people
that it was useless for them to contribute of their means to the support
of our armies engaged in the war. There is no language too strong to
apply in condemnation of such conduct. V
The persistence in this series of falsehoods in the face of a knowl-
edge of the facts is the worst feature of this evil case.
OTHER FALSE CHARGES.
. I
Let me dispose of another false charge. When the cargo was being
made up application came from the Eastern Canneries, a combination
of lobster factories, which had some unsold stock on hand, to carry, on
the usual terms, some 50 cases for which they had found a market in
France. These were stored in the cabin displacing not one bushel of
oats. Owing to the Customs regulations they could not be landed in
France nor in England and they were returned on the ship to Newfound-
land. They did not belong to-Mr. McLean nor had he any interest in
them. The story has also been industriously circulated that Mr.
McLean’s son, who went as supercargo on the boat, received the sum of
$12 per day for his services. There is no truth in this. Mr. McLean
gave his services free. He never asked for anything, nor was he prom-
ised anything, nor did he receive one cent. His services were given
free and they were invaluable.

all in its power to be faithful to its promises made when in opposition,t

part of Macedonia glven to her by the
Serbo~Bulgurlan treaty of 1912, with
'the rlght of immediate occupation.
The controversy over the part of the

immediate occupation.
Bulgaria on her side, renounces
forever, penteuslons to Salonika, Von-
dla and Uskub. She promises also to
declare war immediately upon Tur-
key, aided by funds of the four allies.
Bulgaria. the correspondent declares,
will receive further territorial con-
cessions in Turkey.
lt may be that Serbia and Greece
will give way under pressure by the
entente powers. but negotiations wlll
be lengthened by the reluctance or
the King of Greece to consent to any

composer of the "Marselllalse," were
taken to the Invalldes ln Paris, July
14. with a ceremony the impressive-
of which was greatly heightened by
its slmpllclty.
The magic song which carried the
French to vlctory was begun by it mas-
sed choir from the Opera and was
taken up by the crowd, and its
strains, through which sounded the
constant hum of an escorting squad-
ron of ueroplanes, accoinpiinles the
procession all the way down theli
Champs Elysees to the lnvalldes.
There President Polncare, moved
by the slgnltleance of the occasion
from his customary classic form of
speech uttered words of confidence
and defiance which were admirably ox-
pressive of tho feeling of the whole
country. After denouncing in scath-
liig terms the hypocritical diplomacy
wltli wlilcli Germany had prepared for
tlie wal' and the shameful and coward-
ly proposals wlilch she had made to
Great Brltaln and which were con-
temptuously rejected by the British
sense of honor, he discussed the basis
of peace ln terms which show clearly
by the slmllarlty of such declarations
niaile ln Great Britain and elsewhere
that the Allies are as firm and united
as ever. Ile proceeded:-
But since we have been forced to
draw the sword we have not the right
to sheathe lt until the day when we
have avenged our dead. when the com-
mon vlctorlos of the Allies shall ii.l-
low us to rebuild our ruins, to protect
her effectually against the periodical
renewal of provocation. \Vhat would

sible for a- limping, panting peace to
be established among the ruins of our
destroyed cltl.es.'.’ A new Draconlan
law would be forced upon oui' exhaus-
tion. We fall forever under the pol-
itical. moral, and economic vassulage
of our enemies. The inaiiufncturers,
