EN.HUGHESASKED
TO TURN IN HIS
RESIGNATION
Canadian Minister of Militia Is
Forced to Quit Cabinet
SPLIT OVER WAR POLICIES
Had Been in Office Since 1911 and
Had Raised Volunteer Army of
100000.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. l4.-Gen. Sir
Sam Hughes has resigned as Canad-
ian minister of militia ana defense.
His resignation was requested. The
break between Gen Hughes and Pre-
mier Borden and other members OF
the Canadian government resulted
from differences over questions Of
policy and details of administration.
Since the beginning of the war there
have been made such differences on
questions OF military management
but until recently, it is said they have
been adjusted generally by allowing
Hughes TO carry out his plans. Late
ly the frictions have increased and
adjustments have grown more diff
cult 1t is understood there is a
premier and the cabinet TO insist up.
on their own plans as against those OF
Gen. Hughes.
One OF the points over which diff
ference arose was the supplying OF
the Canadian forces with the British
army rife Gen Hughes, it is re-
ported, advocated instead the use OF
a Canadian weapon. Some time ago
Gen. Hughes returned from three
months visit to England with a plan
to have Canadian war council or
ganized in England with deputy
minister of militia at its head The
Canadian government. however, held
that with more than 100000 Canadian
troops in the trenches in France or
in training in England there should
be an overseas minister OF militia
Gen. Hughes opposed this as it would
greatly deprive him OF authority
While he was in England Gen
Hughes. after investigating the Ca
madam army medical force. relieved
Gen Guy Carleton Jones OF the com.
mand. The government replaced Gen.
Jones. Criticism by Gen. Hughes of
action taken by British authorities,
both in regard to the handling of Ca.
madam army supplies and Of the Ca
madam forces. it is said had been re-
sented.
1t is taken as striking CO.
incidence that the arrival OF the duke
Of Devonshire as governor-general OF
Canada should be marked by the resig
nation of Gen. Hughes, under whose
administration as minister of militia
Canada has raised 100000 men fer
overseas military service.
Gen. Hughes was appointed minis
ter of militia in 1911. While on a Wis
1t to England last year he was
knighted by King George. His resig.
nation was demanded by the conserva
tives in connection with war contracts
awarded to American companies. He
returned from England and demanded
an investigation, which resulted in
his exoneration by royal commits.

AIM TO MAKE RIGHT
EASIER TO DO,
: SAYS SUNDAY
Evangelist Talks to 200 Ministers
in Boston
SCORAS EVOLUTION THEORY
Salvation the Restoration to Original
Perfection Before Sin Came
into World.

Boston, Nov. 13-"Billy' Sunday
faced the Unitarians today and had
the satisfaction of hearing himself de-
scribed by one of them as furnish
ing the two commodities needed by
Unitarians-light and heat.
The evengelist explained his views
on salvation before 200 members of
the Boston association of ministers at
the second church in Audubon road.
In the course of his address. Mr.. Sun
day criticized the Jews, attacked the
fatherhood of God and brotherhood
-of-man" doctrine, and aroused laugh
ter when he declared.
Il don't believe in the bastard the
story of evolution that man came from
protoplasm by the fortuitous concur
renee of atoms, though, if by evolu-
tion you mean advance, | go with you,
but If you mean by evolution that |
came from monkey, good night"
Mr.. Sunday acknowledged the kind
ness extended to him by the associa-
tion and gave it's ministers an invita-
tion to come down and hear him at the
tabernacle Il am an old-fashioned
preacher" he said MY aim is TO try
to make it easier to do right and more
difficult to do wrong. The goal toward
which all things are moving is the
acknowledgment of the sovereignty of
God-of the fact that all things are to
be subject to God At present all
things are not subject to God. God
has many enemies, they are bitter,
numerous and powerful, but he will
conquer all his enemies. When sin
entered the world 1t broke up the
relation between God and man, and
man began to live unto himself. He is
doing that today His aims, delights
and pleasures are all outside God.
To-day men are seeking lust, pleas
ure and power, and under the power of
sin they depart from God. Whatever
takes a man nearer to God lifts him
God pushes him down.
"Popularly speaking, salvation is
escape from the punishment of sin and
1t is something more. Salvation OF a
person would be the restoration of
the person to his original perfection,
Restoration includes the whole man as
see the plan of redemption, The
spirit and the body have to be re-
stored"

London, Nov. 1.-THE British OPP
ened an attack yesterday morning on
both sides of the Ancre river. on the
northern part of the Somme front.
The war Office reports the capture OF
a considerable number of prisoners.
The British troops in their new often
sive north of the Ancre river have ad-
vanced to a maximum depth OF one
mile, capturing the towns of Beau
mont-Hamel and Saint Pierre Divion,
according to the correspondent OF
Reuters telegram company at British
headquarters.
Fighting is still going on between
the German and British troops
around the town of Serre, about two
miles north of Beaumont-Hamel.
Three or four thousand prisoners
have already been taken by the Brit
ish.
The attack appears to have been
to a large extent at surprise to the
Germans, little resistance being Of
fered at the first, and second line
trenches, except before Serre. South
of the Ancre the British line swept
northeast to the river bank opposite
Beaucourt, cutting off the remain
ing fragment OF the German position
around St Pierre Divion. while stimuli
taneously BeaumontyHamel was at
tackled from the opposite bank
All the positions of the Germans

tlonal strength. Beaumont-Hamel

security of its labyrinth OF dugouts,

been laboring constantly for more

described by survivors as the most
terrific experienced by them on any
front"
The Ancre river approximately

WEATHER IS RIGHT
FOR FIRST DAY OF
DEER HUNTING
Mountains Covered This Morning
With Two Inches Of Snow
NEW JERSEY SPORTSMEN HERE
Make Long Journey from Land Of
Mosquitoes to Vermont Woods
by Automobile.

Unless there is decided change In
weather condition during the next lS
hours, the annual open season for
deer hunting in Vermont will open
tomorrow morning with more favor
able prospects than in number of
years. The rain which began last
evening changed to snow later in the
night and this morning the mountains
were covered to depth of two
inches. just enough for good tracking
and not enough to make tramping
hard for the hunters.
Evidently the reputation of Yer
mont as a deer hunting state is
spreading into other commonwealths.
Just before noon today a big touring
car with the curtains all down and
the wheels and body crusted with
frozen snow pulled into the village.
Tent poles were strapped to the side
of the top and through an opening in
the curtains peeked the brown muzzle
of long haired Airdale terrier.
The occupants of the car were John
E. Lewis of Allamuchy, N. j., and
james d. Lewis of Patterson, father
and son. and they will go into camp
tonight somewhere on the mountains
between Bennington and Wilmington.
They were fully equipped for stay
in the woods with the exception of
certain provisions which they pur-
chased at the local stores while in the
village. The terrier is being taken
along for company and to guard the
camp during the absence of the hunt
ers.
This is not the elder Lewis first
visit to Vermont dining deer season.
Last year he hunted in Windham
county and secured fine buck In the
town of Grafton.
s. NJ. Pelsue left this noon for
Stratton where he will go into camp
for portion for the season.
Oscar and Sanford Champagne, Ar
thur Bleau and John Carey will make
their headquarters at the Old Myron
Chandler lumber camp near Marshall
mills.
George Hawks, Mrs. Hawks and two
children, John Mattison Of Glasten-
bury and Edward Summers will
leave tomorrow for the Hawks camp
in Stratton.
Postmaster Emory S. Harris and
Grant L. Harbour are planning to pass
portion of the season at Hunters
Rest and will probably leave the lat
ter part of the week.
A considerable number of hunters
who have made it practice to take
to the mountains during the season
have laid their plans to leave later in
the month. The season does not
close until December 5.

the submarine to fire a few shots in

The crew showed its opinion of the
