The province had a brief visit Sat-
urday from the Minister of Railway\,
Hon. J. 'D. Reid: the Minister of
Public Works, Hon. F. B. Carvell;
Mr. Warren. Deputy Minister of
Railways; Mr. C. A. 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. Supt. of
-Motor Power, Mr. G. E, Smart,
Supt. of the Car Department and oth-
er officials.
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. He stated that it was

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

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

The Germans in-ako rather remark-_
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.

LONDON, June 15.-The gov-
ernment of Japan is con-
sidering seriously thc question ot’ in-

Pacific, states that the trans-Siberian
ltnllway, .thc only remaining line of
coinmunicaticn between Russia and
the outside world, could bc destroyed

ed Gernians at every station along the
line. ostensibly allies of the Bolshe-
viki. Conferences are no .1 'in progress
at Toiio which may leadfto aidolnita
decision regarding intervention. Opin-
