There are scores OF such men now
on the different committees OF the
advisory commiss on--big wholesalers
and retailers in everything from steel

If the amendment IS adopted by the
Senate and IL probably will be be-
cause the vo.e for a was unanimous
in committee. there will have to be a
great shakeup IN the defense council
committees. Some Of the men now
on these committees are the only ones
in the country producing certain pro
ducts and their concerns are the only
ones from which SUCH products could
be purchased for the government Il
is said by the representatives OF The
council
Already strong pressure is beini

LORD ATHELSTANS
SUMMER HOME
is DYNAMITED
He Is Owner of the Montreal Star and a
Warm Advocate of Conscrip-
tion in Canada.

Montreal, Aug. l0.-The summer b., i.
at Cartierville of Lord Athelstan, pub
Usher of the Montreal Star, was dyna
mited Wednesday night. Lord Athelstan
was in his residence at the time but was
not inp>ed. The house was badly dam
aged The Montreal Star has been a
warm advocate OF CONSUMPTION,
The evident attempt to take Lord
Athelstan's life followed the receipt by
the publisher of numerous threatening
letters, posted in the United States,
warning him that the passage Of the Ca
madam CONSUMPTION bin would result in
his death within 10 days and of other
prominent persons in Montreal and OF
tawa.
Other members of his family in the
house at the time of the explosion were
Lady Athelstan, Thomas Graham. his
brother and the Honorable Miss Graham.
There were also eight servants. Nobody
was hurt. The explosion, which occurred
about a. m, ripped off the balcony of
the sleeping quarters and filled the lower
rooms with wreckage. 1t blew a large
hole in the lawn. It is thought that FIVE
or six sticks were used
Police investigators suspect the explo
sion is connected with the theft recently
of quantity of dynamite from quarry,
and also with recent threat to kill SEN
ator Beaubien if he voted for eonscrip-
tion, conveyed in note attached to
stick of dynamite dropped near his home.
The Athelstan residence is six miles from
where the defamation was
plainly heard. Automobile tracks lead
ing TO within 800 yards of the house have
been discovered, and it was learned that
six men were seen to drive rapidly away
from the vicinity about the time the ex-
plosion occurred, in a car having no
lights

tirely unequipped for the hard struggle In
Europe.
Woodrow Wilson acts differently.
Therefore the allies should not complain
about slowness, nor should the central
powers pass arrogant Judgment because
il takes time to create armies and
transport fleets out of nothing.
america is grateful to Woodrow Will
son because he does not allow himself
to be hustled, because he refuses to be
swept off his feet into Rooseveltiades,
and because he does not needlessly sac
rifce American blood. If the war lasts
long enough America will be a factor.
If peace comes in the meantime our pres
ident and the people of the United States
will have the satisfaction Of having pre-
vented unnecessary sacrifices, of having
thought of America first!"

Amsterdam, Aug. l0.-Eight thousand
miners attended recent mass meeting
at Essen, Germany, for the discussion of
coal production, food and wages. The
meeting developed into an impressive
demonstration in favor of peace by agree
ment, and democratic reforms. The min.
ers declared in favor of the Reichstag
majority peace resolution, and demand
ed that the Reichstag pursue their de
cision in the interests of humanity. The
Socialist organ Vorwaerts says the fact
that the demonstration occurred in Es-
sen, the center Of pan-German propa
ganda, increases its Importance.
Two hundred delegates from the Rhen- I,

Frustrated by Dentists.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. l0.-Co-opera-
ton of two local dentists with the au.
thorities frustrated the plan of r. A
Carrier of Resdsboro, VT, to beat the
draft, 1t was announced yesterday by
federal officials here. Carrier, who was
due to take the draft examinations in
Hartford, Conn.,, applied to a dentist for
the removal of Is sound teeth and adj
mitted, it is alleged, that he wished to
escape military service.
He was referred to another dentist,
who meantime-was notified of the situa-
tion and asked to cooperate to spoil the
plan. The second dentist made an APP
pointment with Carrier, and police in
spector was present when he appeared.
Carrier was turned over to the federal
authorities and paroled, to appear in
Hartford last evening for examination.
He is understood to have passed The
tests and to have been accepted tenta-
lively.
