Four persons were killed in these at- tempts. The fifth victim took a. me- tal pump handle to get water to fight a fire and fell dead. A num- ber of other persons received shocks and burns varying in severity. A quantity of livestock was also des- troyed. ‘P H I5 S IIINIK NNI HNNENY Criticism of Baldwin and Lloyd George Resented in Conser- (Special lo The Guardian) LONDON, Aug. 16.-Attacks on Ramsay MacDonald for his partisan criticism of Premier Baldwin and Lloyd George arc appearing in thc - -- tl ‘ hi h uses why the province should not sup- gflgsgffla;°tagijsihdwmflehegcqhe port a population of $300,000. 1401-1111111 p051 leads the “gallant; MT- shhhders Iheh dew? with the declaring that the former {Premier's problem of transportation.

Aug. 16. — A new ministry was sworn in today by I It was conceived two years ago in Winnipeg, born later on at St. John; cut its teeth at Vancouver, and learned to walk. so to speak at thc last convention at Quebec. But it is a lustry infant. It has 170' members boards, and it is a. case of “one board one vote" in ref- erenda. So that it is in a position to let the public know what business thinks. He particularly congratulated thc convention on having largely solved the difficulty of_ securing amicable rimtions between Agricultural and Business Interests. The great economic problems of the country arc by no means local. (Here he told of how once a mayor of a western town had shown how each church was in its proper place.) Turning to the question of emi- gration, Mr. Birks said the old country was turning out 600,000 boys a year of good stock, damned to the blind alleys. The, 1 problem stumps Canadian statesmanship. And it is not a local question. This young child. The Federal Chamber oi‘ Commerce has been very fortunate in its nurse-as I'm in a dry province I won't call it aI wet nurse. In short, the child is very; fortunate in having Mr. Clarke to- shape its early days, and bring it to maturity. Mr. Brownlee had invited the Fed- eral Chamber to hold its next con- vention in the west. If a represent- ative gathering from Quebec and the Mal-itilnes could be collected, the ex- ecutive was in favor oi accepting the invitatio . In conclusion, the speaker wond- ered how many Canadians could see what the future held in store for their land. England sprang from an obscure country on the edge of things and dominated the world. Today there are only three ex- panding races in the world-the Anglo Saxon, the Teutonic and the Japanese. And Canada lives between Japan and Great Britain.

The report was originally at- tributed to Dr. Paul in a despatch received a few days ago from Boul- ogne. He denied its authenticity and was joined in that denial by Dr. Kohn-Abrest, the latter the analyist appointed by the Bou- logne court. Both said that their work was not finished.

Matters affecting the sale of ii- quor within the Province were dealt with by the liquor control board while the Dominion Govemmenhs authority is over manufacture and export. The conference today was in consequence to the action of pro- vincial authorities against liquor interests on thc border towns and cities as bases of an ostentatious export trade bllt much of which by circuiting is alleged to be for do- mestic consumption. We made some progress, Mr. Eul- er stated, at the cglncliusion of thc conference.

Tire provision- al programme for thie meeting in Glasgow from Sept. 5-12 reveals many subjects which are of vital interest to the national welfare. Take the case of geography. In Scotland this subject is taught more on old-fashioned lines than in England. The universities in Scot- land thought that it would be a good opportunity to have as presi- dent of the geographical section a man of the highest standing who had applied geography ils an illum- inating factor to his own special subject. Therefore Professor J. L. Myres. author of that brilliant treatise. "The Dawn of History," has been elected to address the geographical section on "Ancient Georgraphy in Modern Education." Later on there is to be a discussion on the teaching of geography in _Scotland. and doubtless there will be suggestions as to how the subject can be ap- plied to the-study of races, commer- cial developments and trade. I There should be light thrown on an important phase of industry in the discussion between tilc econo- mists and psychologists on "The Nature and Present Position of Skill in Industry." The conference of delegates of corresponding societies which will listen to Dr. Vaughan Cornish on "Tile Preservation of Scenic Beauty in Town and Coun- Ktry" ought to secure ventilation of .the urgent Question of regional planning. O. J. R. Howarth. secretary of the association. has recently returned from South Africa; where he has been making arrangements for tho holding of the 1929 meeting. ' At the invitation of the South Af- rican Association for thc Advance- ment of Science. the association opens its parliament on July 22 that year in Cape Town and will also hold meetings in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Members will visit adjac- ent countries, including Rhodesia and Kenya Colony, which is likely 1o1nattract agriculturists and biolog- s s Tile visit of the British scientists is being taken up with the greatest enthusiasm by their South African colleagues. The association has been asked to investigate the mysterious ‘stone ruins oi Zimbabwe in South- iern Rhodesia. discovered in 1868. This will mean survey and excava- tion by an expert. The age of the ruins is still in question. Some au- thorities assign to them grep: m- Itiquity; others place them as not parlier than the 14th or 15th cent- ury, A.
