NEARLY TWO HUNDRED LIVES
LOST IN CANADIAN FOREST
FIRES

Forest fires have this week swept
northern Ontario, Canada, and only a
heavy rainfall saved vast area from
destruction. Hundreds of people were
rendered homeless.
Where the town of Matheson once
stood, only smouldering ruins were left,
while the country surrounding it is now
as barren as desert. Only few struc-
lures were left in the village Of Coch-
rane.
Great loss of life occurred at Nushka
and Monteith, where ninety-eight per-
sons were burned to death. At Mathe-
son, thirty -five persisted. The total loss
OF life was one hundred and eight-four
persons.

FRYATT'S EXECUTION CAUSES
DEEP INDIGNATION IN
GREAT BRITAIN
-REAT BRITAIN

Captain Charles Fryatt, of the Great
Eastern Railway Steamship Brussels,
which vessel was captured by German
destroyers in June, and taken into Zee
brugge, has been executed by shooting,
after trial by German naval court mar
tial. The death sentence was passed
upon Captain Fryatt because of his al
legged action in attempting previously to
ram a German submarine
The British government heard with
deep indignation of Fryatt's execution,
which it termed an "atrocious crime
against the law of nations and usage of
war;"
The London correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune states that feeling in
official circles is so strong that it would
not be surprising if reprisals should be
resorted to.
The German admiralty claims that
the execution was obviously legal and
right" A statement which it gave out
to the associated press says, in part:
capt. Fryatt allowed the submarine
to approach his vessel for the purpose
of examining it and then suddenly and
treacherously tried to ram and destroy
it and thus obtain the reward offered by
the British government. This was not
self defense but treacherous surprise
by hired murderer. He boasted of
the deed which fortunately failed in it's
object"

eff the German and Austro-Hungar-
ian governments will reserve wholly to
the civil populations of occupied terri
tory the entire produce of the soil, all
live stock, and all stocks of food, fodder,
and fertilizers in those territories, and
if they will admit to those territories
neutrals selected by the president of the
United States with full powers to con-
troll the distribution of food to the whole
population and to transfer from one ter
ritory to another surplus stocks existing
in one and lacking in the other, and if
the president of the United States will
undertake the selection of these agents,
his majesty's government will give them
every assistance and admit into such
territories any imported food supplies
necessary to supplement native stocks
and afford the population a fair subsis-
tence ration as long as it is satisfied
that the enemies are observing their
part of the agreement.
''If this offer is refused or a reply de-
layed until the harvest in the occupied
territory begins to be gathered, his maj
esty's government will hold them respon-
sible and will exact such reparation as
can be secured by the allied arms or en-
forced by the opinion of the neutral
world for every civilian life lost through
insufficient nourishment in the territory
occupied"
It Immediately became evident, how
ever, that the German government had
no intention of bowling to the British
demand and turning over to the inhabit-
ants, in it's entirety, the rich harvest
which the German soldier and husband
man is just beginning to gather.
On August the report was given out
from Washington that Germany had in
formed the United States that, on ac-
count of the impracticable conditions i'm
posed by Great Britain upon the ship
ments of food-stuffs from America into
Poland, further negotiations for cooper
alton in Polish relief would be devoid
of purpose It was added, however,
that, owing to favorable harvest pros
poets, the imperial government consid-
cred that relief apparently would be I'M
necessary after October l.

GERMANY REFUSES TO ACCEDE
TO GREAT BRITAIN'S CONDITIONS
REGARDING POLISH RELIEF

On July 26, report was given out
from London, stating that Great Britain
would consent to the admission of food
in the areas occupied by the armies of
the central powers, under the super
vision of the neutral commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson.
On July 27, Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador at London, cabled
to the state department at Washington
the text of a letter from the British
foreign office, reading as follows:
Ellis majesty's government desires to
settle, once for all, the whole question of
the Importation of foodstuffs into terri
tory in the occupation of the enemy.

The past week has been marked by the
capture Of Brody on the western front.
This is said to be the most important
victory achieved by the Russians since the
capture of Czernowitz. Brody was the
key to the Eastern positions in Austrian
Galicia. 1t is on the main railroad line
from Dubno to Lemberg, and was the
chief obstacle to the advance Of the Rus

CARRANZA'S PLAN OF
MEDIATION

The United States government has
accepted General Carranza's proposal
for the appointment of a joint commits
sion to consider the causes Of difference
between the two republics.
American officials do not wish to stop
merely at a discussion of problems sole

United States troops in Mexico, but
want to take up the whole Mexican tan
gle, hoping that the conference may

place to gain the protection which you
must have against the elements which
are now destroying vast numbers of
people. In one single day in Chicago,
forty-eight died from this heat; and in
ffty-two hours there were reported to
the Health Department one hundred and
thirty deaths. In the city of New York,
more than eight hundred children have
died of infantile paralysis. They have
had over three thousand cases, increas-
ing at the rate of one hundred and fifty
day. And | will tell you, many of the
poor little children who do not die would
be better off dead, than to have no use
of their legs, no use of their arms, and
many of them left imbeciles for the rest
of their days.
''Thank God, in Zion and Zion City,

! blacklist recently announced by Great
Britain, in which he says, in part:
''The announcement that his Britannia
majesty's government has placed the
names of certain persons, firms and cor
porations in the United States upon a
proscriptive black list and has forbid
den all financial or commercial dealings
between them and citizens of Great
Britain has been received with the most
painful surprise by the people and gov
eminent of the United States, and seems
to the government of the United States
to embody policy of arbitrary inter-
| ference with neutral trade, against
which it is it's duty to protest in the most
decided terms.
''The scope and effect of the policy
are extraordinary. British steamship
companies will not accept cargoes from
the prescribed firms or persons, or trans
port their goods to any port, and steam
ship lines under neutral ownership I'M
derstand that if they accept freight from
them they are likely to be denied coal
at British ports and excluded from other
privileges which they have usually en-
joyed, and may themselves be put on the
black list. Neutral bankers refuse to
answer to those on the list and neutral
merchants decline to contract for their
goods, fearing a like prescription.
''The harsh and even disastrous effects
of this policy upon the trade of the
United States and upon the neutral
rights upon which it will not fail to in
sist are obvious"
The note concludes by saying:
''There is no purpose or inclination on
the part of the government of the United
States to shield American citizens or
business houses in any way from the
legitimate consequences of unneutral
acts or practices; it is quite willing that
they should suffer the appropriate penal
ties which international law and the
usage of nations have sanctioned; but
his Britannia majesty's government can
not expect the government of the United
States to consent to see it's citizens put
on an ex parte black list without calling
the attention of his majesty's govern
ment, in the gravest terms, to the many
serious consequences to neutral right
and neutral relations which such an act
must necessarily involve. It hopes and
believes that his majesty's government,
in it's natural absorption in single
