CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
CONNENES TO-DAY

OTTAWA, Canada, April 10. -
The outstanding feature Of the ses-
sion of the Dominion parliament which
opened this afternoon, viii be the an
uual budget statement presented by
Sir. Thomas White, minister of IL
nance. Sir George Foster, who op-
ened the session is acting premier
during the absence OF Rt. Hon. Sir
Robert Borden at the Imperial war
conference in London.
The budget will show that Cana
da's trade for the past twelve months
las been well over the two billion
dollar mark, for the first time in its
history. 1t will also evidence the Do
ninions wonderful war vitality; for
he balance of trade in her favor dur
ng the fiscal year will be shown to
,o in the neighborhood of S350,O00,-
iU0--a sum almost equal TO the years
var expenditure which has averaged
omewhat over one million dollars a
day.
it is regarded as unlikely that there
ill be any considerable changes in
ariff, but is it probable that an ad-
litional impost will be placed upon
nunition makers. In addition there
nay be fresh levy upon race track
and other amusements as war mea-
ure, although it is almost certain
hat the Wilcox bill, to prohibit rec
ng will be dropped.
New legislation will, it is under
TODD, include provision for returned
oldiers. The details are still sui

j schemes for vocational training and

SEARCHING OUT GERMAN
NAVAL BASE IN BRAZIL

RIO DE JANERIO, April 10. -
After numberless rumors and uncon-
firmed reports regarding naval bases
said to have been established by Ger
-man raiders and submarines on the
coast Of Brazil, what appears to be a
reliable story of such base has
reached this city. The story is vouch-
ed for by Colonel Jose da Silva, pro-
prietor of large plantation on the
Ina de Maraca, which is said to have
been the rendezvous of several Ger
man ships AT various times since the
beginning of the war.
The llha de Maraca is separated
from the northern coast of Brazil by
the Carrapaparis Channel. Three Ger
man warships anchored in this chan
mel for several days during the first
year of the war, and have used the
hiding place several times since, the
last time being during February this
year.
He declared that fresh meat was
furnished the ships by several cattle
raisers, that the ships took water and
made repairs. Tropical jungle climbs

ly obscured when the ship lies close
in to shore.
Colonel Silva reported that offic-
ers from the first German ships to
use the hiding place embarked in gas
oline launches and made careful
soundings of the channel and the en-
tire ncighborhood of the island, and
that they made detailed maps from
their observations.
With the publishing of Colonel ST.
vas statements the Brazilian cruiser
Tymbra was despatched to the scene
to verify the story and protect Bra
lillian neutrality.
Reports indicating that the raid
ers are still active in the South AT
lantic continue to arrive, the latest
being a telegram from Belcm. ci' y
near the mouth of the Amazon, say
ing that a naval battle had been
fought within sight of that city. The
report stated that it was believed the
engagement was fought between the
French cruiser Croydon and the Ger
man raider.
