Senator Hitchcock in an address in

to convey an entirely false impression
as to what we can do and what we
are doing"
Supporting the committees bills for
a war cabinet and munitions di-
rector Senator Hitchcock declared
that Secretary Baker is no doubt sin
cere but is misled by lack of informa-

TWO CHILDREN IN
BARE HAND FIGHT
WITH BIG COUGAR
GIRL OF ELEVEN AND BOY, OF
EIGHT EXHIBIT WONDERFUL
COURAGE

LONDON-In recognition of their
courage in fighting off with their fists
cougar which attacked them, King
George has awarded the Albert Medal
to two children of Cowichan Lake,
Vancouver Island. The children are
Doreen Ashburnham, II years old, and
Anthony Farrer, eight years old. Ac-
cording to the account of the incident
recorded in the official Gazette, it
transpired as follows:
On the 23d of September, 1916, the
two children left their homes at COW
ichan Lake for the purpose of catch
ing their ponies and, when about hall
a mile from home, they were attacked
by the cougar. They were almost up
on the animal before they saw 1t
crouching in path at corner. Ine
cougar first sprang upon the little
girl and she was knocked down with
her face to the ground, the animal
being on her back. The boy at once
attacked the cougar with his fists
and riding bride driving the animal
off the girl; it then attacked him and
his companion getting to her feet,
came to his rescue, fighting with her
clenched hands and bride, even put
ting her arm into the cougars mouth,
to try to prevent it from biting him.
She succeeded in getting it off the
boy. 1t then stood on it's hlndquar-
ters and fought with her but evidently
was disturbed by some sound as 1t
presently skunk away and ran under
a log, where it was afterwards killed.
The cougar measured over seven
feet from nose to tip of tail.
