material and labor will reach a total
of about seven hundred dollars, one
hundred dollars of which was a spe-

comfortable place of worship. The
interior has been entirely refinished
by being newly papered and painted,
new back extension has been add
ed with three good sized class rooms,

New mating has been provided for
the floors and electric lights with fix

fronted With a Split.

Ottawa, Ontario, Nov. 14.-Publica-
ton of correspondence between Sir
Sam Hughes, who resigned as min
lister of militia and defence, and Pre-
mier Borden, who requested the resig-
nation, was awaited with great in
teTest because of Hughes charges
that the break resulted from mis-
statements by the Premier.
The resignation must first be ap-
proved by the new governor-general
of Canada, the Duke of Devonshire,
who arrived but yesterday and was
confronted with a government split
on his first day in office.
Lieut.. General Hughes today de-
clared his reason for resigning was
not that assigned in the reports made
by Borden, which asserted Hughes
had assumed power which could only
be exercised by the government as a
whole Hughes said his resignation
was accompanied by the request all
correspondence in connection with af-
fairs should be made public.

Hon. Sir Sam Hughes has resigned as
Canadian minister of militia and de-
Tense. His resignation was requested.
The action followed a meeting of the
cabinet council and it was said that
an official statement probably would
be given out later.
The resignation of the munitions
minister was predicted in political cir
cles here as early as last March as a
result of charges made before parlia-
mcnt by George w. Kyle, liberal MEM
Der for Richmond, n. S.
Mr.. Kyle produced documentary evil

Wesley Allison, agent for General
Hughes in the purchase of war NUM-
tons in the United States, had organ
lied mushroom companies in the United
States, secured orders for shells and
shell fuses from the Canadian shell
committee, through the aid of General
Hughes and had charged exOrbitant
prices for the shells and pOcketed mil
lions as result.
Contracts amounting to many mil
lions of dollars are said to have been
let to the American concerns.
