State Department Is Not Concerned
Regarding Isle Eoyale.

been received at the state department
concerning the reported expedition of
several Canadians, led by Captain S.
c. Young of the Ninety-sixth regi-
ment, for Isle Royale in Lake Supe-
rior, with the intention of hosting
the British flag on that island and
formally declaring the territory part

.UNSOUND GOODS SENT TO
ENGLAND TO Be DESTROYED
Stringent Regulations Proposed Re.
garding Food Shipments Result
Of Recent Timed Meat
Exposures.

London.-The bill introduced by
John Burns, president of the local
government board, enabling the board
Of trade to institute more stringent
regulations for the prevention of the
danger arising to the public health
from the importation, preparation,
storage and distribution of articles of
food" has passed it's second reading
In the house of commons.
In the course of the debate on the
bill, Mr.. Burns explained that it en-
powered the authorities at all ports to
inspect food imports, take samples
and destroy unsound goods. 1t might
be argued, Mr.. Burns said, that since
the recent timed meat exposures in
England and elsewhere things have
been put right, but the government
could not allow the laws to remain
defective, because there was strong
probability that matters would relapse
to where they were before.
Continuing, Mr. Burns declared that
he had received report that Ger
man consul had said the American
meat packers had informed his gov
they were willing to consent
to the inspection of any meat pro-
vided that whatever goods the Ger
man officials rejected should be re-
turned to the packers, as they could
be sold in the United Kingdom. The
speaker said he was not going to al
ow that, and he did not see why the
United Kingdom should take whatever
Germany, France, Denmark and 9TH
n EurOpeans would not accent.
