understand that the main army has

between the two generals; Wilkinson
and Hampton, in relation to their
place of junction. The former direct

measures accordingly. So soon as
this was known to Wilkinson, the
army was ordered to hut at Salmon

the conduct Of these generals. There
are authorities to which they are
amenable and which no doubt will do
justice in the case. Our regret, how

BRITISH GOUGED BY
PROFITS OF MEATS

London, June 25-On the subject
of profiteering, which is now before
the food controlled for drastic action,
Lord Inchcape, chairman of the Pen
insular. and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, writes a. caustic letter to the
Times.
"I have an interest in pastoral
lands and meat works in Australia, I
have interests in certain steamships
which bring frozen meat from Aus
tralia to this country, am chairman
of a company that owns steamships,
and my statements are based on ac-
curate, inside knowledge" he writes
TMeat is sold in Australia to the
British, government at the following
prices at the free board: Beef, about
ten, cents a pound; y mutton, about the
same. The owners have agreed to
carry frozen meat to this country
practically at the pre-war freight rate,
two cents a pound. If freight is
added to the freeboard price of the
meat, with two months interest and
the cost of war risk insurance, it is
delivered at the quay in London at
the following prices: Beef, about ID
cents a pound; mutton, about Is cents
and a fraction. These facts may be
of interest in view of the price at
which meatsis being sold in this coun-
try. now. Certainly neither the Aus
tralian farmer, proprietor or meat
worker or the ship owner can be call
ed a profiteer.''
The government sells to the whole
saler att 20 cents a pound, and when
the meat reaches the consumer the
price is from 80 to 38 cents.

Spaniards Like Bull
Fight But Think ALI
Boxing is Real Brutal

The Latin races have always look
ed down upon our good old Anglia
Saxon boxing matches and the rea-
son that they did so was because
they considered them brutal. The
Spaniard, for instance, loves his bull
fight. There is glory to him in such
an exhibition. To us there is in it
nothing but glory with the 81" left

great event promised to give full sat

dience Among other things it said
Instead of the usual six bulls, the
customary number. no less than IL
bulls will be killed. Six bull fight
ers, all numbered among the most ia

SHORT CIRCUITS
CAUSE TWO FIRES

One automobile was destroyed and
trolley car damaged as a result of
two fires this morning caused by the
short circuiting of electric wires. The
first occurred in a small shed in the
grounds at the Locomobile Co., at 9
O'Clock.
A short circuit of the wires of the
machine set the auto afire and the
roof of the shed soon was in flames.
The auto, which is valued at about ST.
600, suffered a damage estimated at
$4,000. The tires, expensive trim
mings and body were destroyed. The
fire force at the plant extinguished the
flames before the arrival of the city
apparatus.
Chemical. No. was called to Cath
crime and Main streets to put out q fire
in a. trolley car caused by short cir
cult The flames, which burst out I'M
der the trolley, were smothered by
the use of chemicals.

WARNS TORONTO
OF DEBT GROWTH

I Toronto, Ont, June 25.-Corumis-
sioner of Finance, Mr.. Thomas Brad
shaw, has warned the City Council
that while Toronto's credit ranks
high, there is necessity for caution
and that no additional capital expen-
ditures shoulde be made except for
public works that are imperative.
The commissioner points out that
within the last 10 years the increase
in the gross funded debt Of the city
has amounted to $72.31s,27e.77, or
285 per cent, and that during the
last. four years 1t has more than doub-
led; that during 1917 the debt will
be further increased by $1O,O00,000
/ on account of increasing war obliga-
lions and because of works common
ced some time ago and not perman-
emily financed; that to meet these
charges a substantial increase in the
tax rate must be expected; that rev.
enue producing undertakings, such as
the waterworks, civic car lines, n.y.
dro-electric, abbatoir, exhibition park
and the registry office should be self
supporting; that provision is being
made for the repayment of every
funded debt as it natures; that the
city must strengthen its financial re-
sources so that when the Toronto
| Street Railway franchise expires in
1921, it will be in a position to deal
| with the matter
Mr.. Bradshaw recommends the re-
payment of loans by installment rath-
| er than by the sinking fund method,
l7giving as his reason that a lower rate
of interest accumu1ates on the sink
ing fund than that paid on the loan.
He estimates that the instaIlment
plan applied to debentures issued last
year makes an annual saving of $685.
497 in tax levies for debt charges and
a total saving of $1,291,53s for the
| period of the loan
