growing out of the recent shooting

Canadian militiamen, by paying $1O.-
900 to the parents of Walter Smith,
who was killed, and $1,000 to
Charles Dorsch, who was wounded.
in addition to all legal expenses.
The terms of settlement were ar
ranged by Sir Joseph Pope. Under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs Of Cana
da. and Representative Charles b.
Smith. of New York. The money
will be paid to Representatives of the
families tomorrow at the British em-
bassy. The settlement was made
entirely outside of the State Depart
ment, but 1t has the departments
approval. Sir Joseph and the Brit
ish Ambassador recently called at
the department and formally express
ed the regret Of the Canadian govern,
ment on account of the shooting.
Sir Joseph was insistent that no
part of the money paid to Smiths
family and to Dorsch should fall in
to the hands of lawyers. Conse-
quently il was agreed all claims for
legal services should be paid direct
ly by the Canadian government.

by the spell of words, and these will
find nutriment for thought in
statement. prepared by one of the
country's largest and most reliable
commerciar agencies, showing the
number of failures occurring in. the
twelve months ending October. 81.
1914, in the same period of 191s-1S.
and in the preceding calendar years
back to 1873. This shows the num-
Der of failures in the period first men
toned, November /, 1913, to Octo-
Der 81, 1914, to have been 17,41S
with liabilities totaling $357,345,-
645. In the next preceding twelve
months there were 1852 failures
with liabilities of $25O,SO2,536. a to-
tai for the two years of 33,O5O fail
ures and $60S,14S,1S1 liabilities. In
the entire history of the country there
has been nothing to equal this in
commercial destructiveness. Pre-
vious to this the high record of dis
asters was made in the cataclysmic
year of 1898 when there were 49,
242 failures with liabilities of $S46,-
1889. The panic" of 1907 re-
suited in failures in 1908 numbering
1880. with the comparatively
small liabilities of $222,315,6S4.
1t must be observed that the. fg-
ures for 1914 do not include the final
months of November and December.
and that they cover but three months
of the war period and those the first
three. in which the effects of the war
upon American business conditions
could not yet have become serious to
the point of disaster. It fs quite plain
that this unprecedented record of
destructiveness is entire
ly due to the acts and policies of the
