 Great Britain Between Two Fires.
 An interesting question arises as to whether Turkey. being debarred by the weakness of her navy from send ing transports to provision and re- infcrce her troops in Tripoli by sea will claim the right to send conveys through Egypt. Such demand would place Great Britain in a serious di- lemma. To accede would mean en- mity; to refuse would irnperil the British position in Egypt and in the Moslem world generally.

sARDINE. cANNERs' HANDICAP. Cottonseed Oil Scarce-Eastport, Me.
 Plants May Close Early.

Passport, Me, Sept 27-There is such a scarcity of cettonseed oil here that notice has been given by several canners of American sardines that their plants would be closed in less than two weeks unless a supply was received. This is unfortunate in that at no time since the canning season opened in April have the schools of fish been so plentiful in Passama- quoddy bay or the bay of F'undy as during the past few weeks.
 For some time nearly every sardine factory in Passport has been running on full time. Early in the year cases of sardines of 100 cans were sold for $3.75, but during the latter part of the week they dropped to S2.25, which is about the cost of putting them up. It is not known what the season s pack of fish on the Maine coast will be, but it has been estimated at near ly 100000 cases.

 Bus Skidded and Went Through Rail-
 ing.
 In trying to avoid collision with site direction, the chauffeur gave his steering wheel a sharp turn. The heavy vehicle skidded violently, shot upon the sidewalk, dashed through the heavy iron railing as if it were a pipe stem and dropped into the river below.
 Two or Three Jumped.
 All the passengers were carried down except two or three, who, standing on the rear platform, jumped in the nick of time.
 Police and Bremen to Rescue.
 Rescuing parties were formed at once and the police and firepen from neighboring stations, with ropes and ladders got quickly to work under the superintendence of M Lepine, the pre- feet of Paris. With the river police, they extricated ten injured persons who were conveyed to hotel close by.
 Drivers Body Missing.
 Ten bodies were recovered, and div CTS, hastily summoned, explored the interior of the vehicle and the riverbed under the bridge as long as daylight lasted, but they found no more bodies. They returned to the surface with only a lady's recticule. Work will be re- stunned tomorrow in an endeavor to re- cover the body of the driver, which is believed to have been swept away by the current.
 Priest Saved Six Persons.
 One of the passengers, priest named Richard. who managed to es cape by a window, saved six persons. He says all he remembers of the acci- dent was finding himself at the bottom of the river, groping around. Finally he found the window, through which he managed to swim to the surface.
 Pulled Passengers to Roof of Bus.
 He clambered to the roof of the on- nihus and immediately pulled the other passengers who were in difficulties up beside him. From this uncertain refuge all were hauled off by the f1remen.

TOO PATRIOTIC FOR HILTON. Golf Champion Says Americans Think
 More of Country Than Game.

New York, Sept. 27.-Harold H. Hil- ton, the British golf champion, who won the American golf championship, sailed for home today on the Campan- ia, saving that he would return to de- fend his title next year.

He criticised it in friendly way, saving that they shouted too much for America and not enough for the game itself. If Amer jeans, he commented, would only rec ognize good playing, not matter who did the work, the game would be inn proved. He said he had seen one game of baseball while here. the oine between New York and Cleveland, and that even the local patriotism was very pronounced. for the Cleveland team won and the cheering was tri- fling, no matter how good the playing of the visitors.
