CANADIAN WHEAT

Letting Down of Bars by Dominion
Has Meant Heavy Importa-
ton to This Country.
Washington, Nov. 27.-since April
of this year wheat and wheat flour
have been imported in greatly in
creased quantities from Canada. This
is attributed principally to the fact
that on April 1e Canada removed the

admitted Canadian wheat free Of duty

visions Of the tariff law Of 1913.

ment of Commerce, S40,987 bushels
Of wheat were imported from Canada

Fl, 49O, 269 bushels, over 100000
bushels of which came in free after
April 16. The imports of wheat -four.
during these nine months totaled 403,-
270 barrels. of which 297,6s5 barrels

STRAND

The great war play, The Stacker,
which has attracted favorable COM
ment, wherever it has been shown
will be seen at the Strand theatre
here for three days, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, Sept. 81, % and
20.
The well known actress, Emily
Stevens, takes the stellar role in this
production. The following comment
from The Birmingham News anent
the play is timely.
In this day of persistent and
malicious Misrepresentation of the
attitude of the United States in the
world struggle, The News feels war
ranted in going out OF its accustom-
ed path to commend in the strongest
terms a motion picture now appear
ing in this city.
The Stacker, running at the Rialto,.
is one of the most intelligent pieces
of patriotic service that has come to
the attention of the editor of The
News. Its appeal is most powerful
to all that is best in the, man, the
woman and the child of the United
States. It is the story of a fine,
courageous man, who has been rear
ed in ease and self-indulgence, and
is long callous to the call Of his
country. He is finally reused by a
patriotic wife to a sense of
his duty. The acting of Emily Stew
ems in this part is most admirable;
rarely does a woman so effectively
display various emotions of joy and
grief almost simultaneously. All the
parts, however, even to that Of sew
eral little children, are we'll played.
The joy of a German father over the
entrance of his American-born son
into the army is also a choice bit.
The presentation of President Will
son at the end of the film, in
speech appealing to patriotic service,
shows his fine profile and eloquent
action to unusual advantage.

Cork, Ireland, Sept. 26.-The Irish
convention reassembled here yester-
day, the members being the guests
Of the harbor board at luncheon and
visiting local factories and places of
interest
Although no definite arrangement
has yet been reached with the Ulster
men, it is said, the speeches of some
of their leaders, douched in very
eloquent and friendly language, have
given good grounds for hope of
peaceable settlement. There was
some apprehension of opposition to
the convention on the part Of the
Sim Feiners in Cork. but John Mac
Neil and Arthur Grif1ths, the Sim
Fein leaders, urged their followers
in this city to follow the example of
their Dublin compatriots and let the
convention alone. At the luncheon,
Chairman Plunkett and other dele
gates spoke guardedly but hopefully
of the conventions prospects.

who has been a resident Of the coun-

not a citizen of the United States.
A Yellow Streak.
The auditor turned on the man and
a bombardment from his trench was
a lesson which every alien in the
United States should have heard.
Living in a country which has pro-
tected him for II years and then
when called upon to serve the ma
ton, to ask exemption because
Of not being a citizen was termed
a yellow streak by the auditor.
