Mr.. Felton's discourse was brief
and given mostly to the technical

after all labor troubles arising from
the war. He made no effort at
eloquence, but the cold facts made
their impression and were com

Mr.. Farquar then turned to q.

national government, comparing

Napoleon for efficiency.

Mr.. FELTON, described how the
state has been divided into six zones
with a central office at each one in

intended to have suboff1ces in each

committee is now bending it's efforts.
